Mr. Mu Proposed Again Today
Chapter 425 - 423: Does She Think She’s Nezha with Wind Fire Wheels?_1

Chapter 425: Chapter 423: Does She Think She’s Nezha with Wind Fire Wheels?_1

At 6:30 in the evening, Na Xiaoxiao glanced at the time and rose to walk towards the CEO’s office.

She raised her hand to knock on the door, after which a cold voice emerged from inside.

Upon entering, she stood at the doorway and looked at the person who was working at the desk with his head bowed, speaking softly, "Mr. Mu, it’s time to leave..."

When Mu Zisu looked up and saw her, his brow furrowed once again.

Na Xiaoxiao’s heart pounded—why did he always have that expression whenever he saw her?

Mu Zisu stood up, his deep and dark eyes intently fixed on her.

Na Xiaoxiao felt a shiver down her spine...

"You’re wearing that to the event?" Mu Zisu’s brow was tightly knit. He had told her in the morning to attend the banquet with him, and now it was time to leave, yet she was still dressed in her work uniform.

Na Xiaoxiao was frustrated—

"What should I wear then?" she asked. As his secretary, if not this, then what? Should she also dress up like those women, in fancy display and thick makeup?

"It’s for a banquet, not for work, twenty minutes, in the parking lot..." Mu Zisu finished these words and then continued working on the task at hand.

Na Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded—twenty minutes? Did he think she was Nezha with wind-fire wheels?

What could she possibly do in twenty minutes? Moreover, she didn’t have any clothes with her at the moment. After her morning flight landed, people had directly taken her luggage—along with his—to the Mu Family’s home...

Even if she ran back to the Mu Family’s residence now, it would take at least twenty minutes, right? That’s assuming there was no traffic.

Just as she was about to say she wouldn’t go, Mu Zisu suddenly looked up and said indifferently, "You have eighteen minutes left..."

Na Xiaoxiao was on the verge of going insane—

Clenching her fingers, she took two steps back and slammed the door shut with a ’bang’!

He was a complete tyrant! All he did was torture his subordinates!

Without any time to think further, she ran back to her office like the wind, grabbed her purse, and started rushing downstairs.

This morning, she remembered there were several boutiques next to the Mu Group building. She would have to make do with what was available there...

Hurrying downstairs as if her life depended on it and thankfully accustomed to wearing high heels, otherwise her feet would surely break...

Gasping for breath, she entered, didn’t have time to choose a style, and directly picked up a long gown that looked decent and simple, along with a pair of matching shoes.

"Just these two items! Charge it to my card!"

"Certainly... Miss, the total is ninety-eight thousand eight hundred RMB..."

Na Xiaoxiao’s eyes twitched fiercely—that was the most expensive clothing purchase she had ever made.

Although working for Mu Zisu meant that she was well-paid and did not have to worry about food and clothing, she didn’t have much savings. Having struggled for a few years, her expenses were still calculated carefully.

Previously, in the Na Family village, she had never worried about money, but now she had no choice but to fret over it...

But with time being critical, she couldn’t afford to think too much—

"Okay," she nodded her head, teeth clenched internally, trying to appear composed. Although she felt it was expensive, since she had made the purchase, she decided to do it with a bit of splendor.

After paying, she stood in front of a full-length mirror to fix up her hair.

Her voluminous, black hair, which was tied in an updo, cascaded down like flowing water with her movements, falling smoothly from her shoulders to her waist.

The sales associates couldn’t help but exclaim, "Miss, your hair is so beautiful..."

"Yeah... Some people are just born beautiful, even their hair is enviable..."

"Hehe... thank you..." Xiaoxiao said hurriedly, she didn’t have time to talk more with them. After adorning her hair with the accessory, she rushed toward the Mu Group’s underground parking lot.

As she ran, she continually complained in her heart: that tyrant was really driving her crazy!

People who didn’t know better would think she was insane!

Just as she reached the entrance of the parking lot, a line of luxury cars slowly drove out from inside.

Her heart skipped a beat; she was still two minutes late and was going to receive disapproving looks again.

She stood still, and the second car stopped in front of her. The window that blocked everything slowly rolled down, revealing an extremely beautiful yet utterly indifferent face inside.

"Hehehe... there were too many people, I got delayed by two minutes at the checkout..." She held the clothes behind her and forced a dry laugh.

Zisu looked her up and down before speaking indifferently, "Get in..."

Xiaoxiao secretly pouted and jogged to the other side of the car, opened the door, and got in.

After looking around, she finally stuffed the clothes she was carrying behind the seat, and only then she exhaled in relief and sat up straight.

No sooner had she settled in than she noticed that Zisu was silently staring at her from the side.

Although there was a seat separating them, being stared at so intently by him at such a close distance made Xiaoxiao’s heart race.

She made an unnatural sound of acknowledgement, and then raised her hand to touch her cheek.

"Do I... have something on my face?" She had only been concerned with the clothes and hadn’t washed her face to reapply her makeup, nor had she touched up the light makeup already on her face before running over. There couldn’t really be a problem, could there?

But Zisu suddenly turned his face away and curtly spit out two words, "No..." He just thought she looked a lot prettier tonight.

At that thought, he frowned. What did it matter to him if she was pretty or not? As long as she didn’t embarrass him, it was all good.

Xiaoxiao turned her face to look out of the window and pursed her lips. Nutcase. Then why was he staring at her the whole time, making her nervous for quite a while...

After arriving at Shenghong International, Xiaoxiao got out of the car following Zisu, with Shiming, Tianyi, Ji Yunqing, and a group of bodyguards trailing behind.

Xiaoxiao instinctively wanted to fall back but Zisu suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm.

The instant skin touched skin, a current shot through their limbs and bodies.

Xiaoxiao’s body stiffened, and her heart leapt to her throat; she hadn’t expected Zisu to actually reach out and pull her.

Everyone knew the reputation of this man who disliked being close to women. It was widespread, and some even thought he preferred men.

Yet she knew that his private life was very simple; he had always been alone and never involved in any ambiguous news with any woman.

It wasn’t just because he didn’t favor women; he was also very busy. Really busy...

She had been by his side for five years without so much as touching a finger, and now, out of the blue, he took the initiative to pull her arm. Was there something wrong with his brain?

Zisu himself didn’t expect that he had suddenly reached out to grab her. Tonight, he had her follow him, firstly, to block some idle talk, and secondly, to avoid being approached by women who were always trying to chat him up. It was truly annoying.

But wasn’t this woman usually clever? How had she become so stupid at this moment? Couldn’t she understand what he meant?

"Tonight, stay by my side, and do not leave me for a single step!"
