Chapter 426: Chapter 424: Xiaoxiao, Brother Zisu is calling you_1

Na Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened upon hearing Mu Zisu’s words. Had she heard wrong? Did he just say that she should stay by his side and not leave by even a step?

Mu Zisu looked at her dazed expression and suddenly furrowed his brow, what was up with this woman? Why was she so slow to react tonight, where did her usual cleverness go?

Seeing the displeased look on the man’s face, Na Xiaoxiao immediately snapped back to reality and quickly nodded, "Understood..."

In truth, she had always wanted to be by his side, but most of the time, he wouldn’t allow it. Now that he was asking for it himself, it was more than she could ask for.

Mu Zisu’s expression then eased slightly as he continued to stride forward.

The banquet that evening was held in his honor, and as soon as the various business magnates and elites who had arrived early saw him, they immediately greeted him with beaming smiles.

"Welcome back, Young Master Mu..."

"Young Master Mu’s fame really is spread across the globe, admirable indeed..."

Mu Zisu slightly curved the corners of his lips, his eyes lightly glimmering with amusement, as he nodded slightly to those who came up to greet him.

The attendees, noticing Na Xiaoxiao by his side, were secretly astonished. Wasn’t it said that Young Master Mu was indifferent to women, and that he would attend any gathering alone without a female companion?

How come this time he’s accompanied by such a beautiful young woman...

It seemed rumors are just rumors, not to be fully believed.

Mu Shiming, having spent the most time at Mu Group, stayed by Mu Zisu’s side during the banquet, introducing him to everyone.

Although Na Xiaoxiao remained silent beside Mu Zisu the entire night, as his female companion for the evening, she couldn’t avoid being flattered and toasted by others.

In the beginning, she would still sneak glances at Mu Zisu’s expression, but seeing that he didn’t react, she started to welcome all comers, matching each toast with enthusiasm.

Her behavior even led Mu Shiming to look at her with surprise.

Despite her young age, who would have thought she could hold her liquor so well? She had drunk so much and only showed a slight flush on her face without any signs of drunkenness!

As Na Xiaoxiao was about to once again tip her head back for another drink, Mu Zisu frowned at her, "You weren’t brought here to drink..."

When had this woman become so foolish? A mere gesture of acknowledgement when some toasted her would have sufficed, and who would criticize her for that? Even if she didn’t drink and refused, who would dare to say a word?

Yet she was insistently draining every glass—a foolish move indeed!

Na Xiaoxiao was momentarily taken aback. What was wrong with her drinking a little? She wouldn’t get drunk anyway. Why was he being so stingy, begrudging even a drink...

In her head, she knew her tolerance for alcohol was quite good—

But although she could think this way, she dared not say it aloud. The next time someone approached her with a toast, she didn’t dare take a sip and had to return the gesture with an apologetic smile...

Mu Zisu, seeing her act this way, subtly lifted the corner of his lips without making a sound.

Halfway through the banquet, Mu Zisu and Mu Shiming found a quieter corner to rest, and Na Xiaoxiao had to follow them.

There were two three-seater sofas and a two-seater.

Mu Shiming and Ji Yunqing occupied one of the three-seaters. Na Xiaoxiao intended to sit on the other three-seater, but then Mu Tianyi flopped down on the sofa, lying across it fully.

He groaned at the same time, "I’m so tired, I really want to take a nap..."

Her steps halted abruptly, and she couldn’t help but tightly purse her lips in irritation. Was this man so oblivious that he didn’t see she had nowhere to sit?

Yet on the other side, Mu Shiming and Ji Yunqing were secretly chuckling inside. Tianyi really was something else, just earlier he kept saying to them that Zisu felt differently about this little secretary, and now he was already making his move to test the waters.

You should know... there hasn’t been a single woman yet that could catch Mu Zisu’s interest, or at least none they had seen so far, except perhaps for the innocent and beautiful secretary before them...

But as to whether he was truly interested or not, that remained to be checked.

"Xiaoxiao... come, join us..."

As soon as Ji Yunqing spoke, Mu Shiming and he simultaneously, and with perfect understanding, shuffled to the sides of the sofa, leaving a gap in the middle.

When Na Xiaoxiao heard Ji Yunqing’s words, her heart leapt with joy, but turning her head to look, her brows involuntarily furrowed.

The two of them sat brazenly on each side, leaving such a small space in between, that if she really went to sit there, she would inevitably be squeezed by the two of them.

She mentally broke into a frantic sweat and decided to remain standing...

Sitting on the two-seater sofa, Mu Zisu casually glanced at the small space left by Mu Shiming and Ji Yunqing and then at Xiaoxiao, who was hesitating whether to sit down or not.

Finally, looking at the mischievous smiles on the three men’s faces, he turned to Xiaoxiao, who was still standing upright, and said indifferently, "Sit here..."

After speaking, he moved his body, shuffling to the side.

Xiaoxiao’s heart skipped a beat; sitting next to him would make her even more nervous...

"Xiaoxiao... Brother Zisu is calling you!" Mu Tianyi said with a mischievous smile, looking at Xiaoxiao’s restraint.

Fearing Mu Zisu would give her a hard look again, Na Xiaoxiao mustered up the courage, and slowly took steps, reluctantly sitting next to him.

His figure was tall and imposing, and even while sitting, he exuded an air of noble elegance and power.

Her figure, on the other hand, was petite; sitting by his side, she looked particularly like a delicate and dependent bird.

This very scene took on a different flavor in the eyes of Mu Shiming and the others.

Interesting, very interesting, these two did indeed look like a couple.

"Xiaoxiao... do you have a boyfriend?" Mu Tianyi asked.

Xiaoxiao, caught off guard by Mu Tianyi’s blunt question and mindful of Mu Zisu beside her, blushed and shook her head slightly.

She had someone she liked, but no boyfriend...

"Tianyi... hold back your crappy tricks, otherwise, wait until Brother Zisu gets mad and you’ll see what’s coming to you!" Ji Yunqing said with a faint sneer.

"No... I just don’t understand how such a pretty girl like Xiaoxiao doesn’t have a boyfriend?" Mu Tianyi said thoughtfully.

If Mu Zisu hadn’t been there, Xiaoxiao would have certainly stood up to refute Mu Tianyi by now.

But due to the great BOSS’s presence, she was constrained...

"It seems you’re not tired at all, let’s go... the banquet continues..." Mu Zisu gave the three a glance and stood up to leave first.

Mu Tianyi instantly made a face as if he were about to cry, "Brother Zisu, I’m really tired..." and then continued to lie on the sofa, playing dead.

Seeing Mu Zisu get up, Xiaoxiao also stood up and took two steps, ready to head back to the banquet hall.

Just then, suddenly from afar and quickly closing in, an excited voice called out.

"Darling!!"

Before she could see who it was, two figures whizzed past her and then darted towards Mu Zisu, who had just stood up!
