Mr. Mu Proposed Again Today
Chapter 458 - 456: So Arrogant They’re Snorting to the Sky_1

Most of the people recognized Xu Junxian, and the screams from a group of women were even more excited...

Xiaoxiao’s nervousness had been completely eased during her singing, feeling instantly relaxed, as if something pressing on her heart had been released, bringing exceptional comfort and joy...

She looked at Xu Junxian beside her with smiling eyes and whispered, "I’m glad you’re here. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to sing on my own..."

Xu Junxian’s lips curved into a slight smile, "You sang very well..."

Having received praise from the great singing god, Xiaoxiao immediately regained much of her confidence. Not sounding bad was good enough...

As soon as their conversation ended, the next song slowly began to play.

Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but smile with narrowed eyes.

"Don’t be nervous..."

"Mm"

Watching the interaction between the two on stage, Mu Zisu’s expression darkened even further, with his long fingers clenched until the knuckles turned white.

"Yaoyao... The guy singing with Xiaoxiao is so handsome... He looks somewhat familiar, doesn’t he?" Mu Zixuan stood beside Mu Zisu, deliberately dragging out her tone as she spoke leisurely.

No matter if it’s short-lived, no matter if it’s forever,

No matter if happiness is followed by pain,

No matter if it’s a waste, no matter if it’s impulsive,

As long as it’s ever touched the heart...

Xiaoxiao’s soft and pleasant voice rang out again...

Mu Zisu could only see one side of her face, but even with just this profile, he could tell that she was entirely different from usual. Gone were the lifeless expressions and eyes lowered in submission; what remained was a bright, confident smile and the enjoyment of singing freely...

What is torture, what is pleasure,

In love, even the torture I will savor,

What is giving, what is receiving,

Like moths to a flame, always seeking,

Who is considered poor, who is rich,

Who spills diamonds into the night sky so lavish,

Who changed me, allowing me to be,

Free from the ordinary me...

Xiaoxiao remembered the lyrics of this song very clearly; sometimes she would loop it on repeat, listening until she fell asleep, and at other times, she would listen to the song while thinking of that person...

Zhuo Shaoqing squinted his eyes, the corners crinkling like peach blossoms, as he stared unblinkingly at the person on stage singing freely, his eyes brimming with an inextinguishable smile.

He knew it... She would definitely sound wonderful singing...

"Shaoqing... What does this young lady do for a living? She seems to have a good ear for music..." Neil commented in surprise from beside him.

Zhuo Shaoqing smiled, "She works a job, but her boss is quite difficult..."

At his words, the others immediately raised their eyebrows in unison. There weren’t many people who could be described as difficult by him...

"Who is it? More difficult than you?"

Zhuo Shaoqing pursed his lips, "In C City, aside from us, who else can dominate with just a flick of the hand..."

"The Mayor?" Neil said.

Zhuo Shaoqing shook his head.

But Pei Mojing couldn’t help but think of the phrase "Mu Group."

He frowned slightly and said indifferently, "You’re not talking about someone from the Mu Group, are you?"

The words "Mu Group" had been tormenting him constantly, making him particularly sensitive to them.

Zhuo Shaoqing’s eyebrows shot up, "It’s our big movie star, Pei, with the quick wits, guess right on the first try!"

Pei Mojing suddenly looked at Xiaoxiao on the stage with a curious gaze. He hadn’t expected her to work at the Mu Group. Did she come into contact with that woman often?

Suddenly, Pei Mojing felt an impulse to go on stage and pull Xiaoxiao down to ask her how that woman had been doing recently...

"Not only does she work at the Mu Group, but her superior is also that person who took office not long ago, the one who’s so arrogant that his nostrils are practically in the sky!" Zhuo Shaoqing said sarcastically, as he was extremely annoyed with Mu Zisu!

"Yo~~ I really didn’t see it coming. There’s such a pure and lovely beauty by Mu Zisu’s side..." Neil said with a playful tone.

"That’s why I say! No matter how innocent and cute someone is, they become as quiet as a gourd by his side!" Zhuo Shaoqing pouted his lips and shook his head vigorously, and that’s why he brought Xiaoxiao to this kind of event to find some vitality.

As soon as Pei Mojing heard Zhuo Shaoqing’s words, he was about to look away from the stage when he inadvertently caught sight of the person on the second floor who had been disturbing his peace of mind!

His pupils dilated suddenly, thinking it was a trick of the eye. Holding his breath, he looked again, and his pupils contracted sharply. It really was her!

He stood up in a flash, not thinking twice, and started walking out.

"Hey? Hey? Pei, what are you doing?" His companions called out to him in surprise and confusion.

But by the time Pei Mojing had taken just two steps, the person on the second floor had already turned around and disappeared from his sight...

At the same time, Xiaoxiao and Xu Junxian also stepped down from the stage and were walking towards their location...

He stood there dazed, staring at the empty space on the second floor, his eyes conveying an obscure and undefined emotion...

He hadn’t seen wrongly, he definitely hadn’t. It was her!

For a moment, he felt an impulse to chase after her and grab her, but then he remembered Neil’s words that he and she were from different worlds, the Mu Family didn’t like people from the entertainment industry...

He finally understood why, when he had presented his face to her, she hadn’t known who he was. It was because she simply didn’t care...

He also understood that after she found out who he was and had spent a night at his place, she had quietly left without a word, because she had never intended to have any interaction with him...

Mu Zixuan! You truly are a heartless woman!

"What’s wrong, Mojing?" Xu Junxian approached the dazed Pei Mojing and couldn’t help but ask in surprise.

Seeing Pei, the big movie star, with such an expression was truly not easy...

"Yeah... What’s the rush? Could it be that you’ve seen your crush?" Chen Ming’s teasing voice came from behind him.

Pei Mojing clenched his fingers then turned around and sat back down, his tone low, "I just saw a friend..."

"What friend? You’re so tense. A boyfriend or a girlfriend?" Zhuo Shaoqing’s tone was even more teasing.

Xiaoxiao instantly had black lines over her head, not expecting that men could be so gossipy when together!

"No comment..." Pei Mojing gave him a glance, then picked up his glass and downed his drink in one go, looking just like someone who had just gone through a breakup.

Zhuo Shaoqing immediately laughed out loud, slapping the table. Seeing Pei, the big movie star, in such a dispirited state was truly rare!

Meanwhile, after Mu Zisu, Mu Zixuan, and the others had gone to the private room, Mu Zisu sat silently in a corner, pouring drinks for himself, one after another...

Mu Shiming and the others could finally tell something was off. He had been fine when they left the Mu Group, so why had his expression soured upon coming here?

Especially after hearing Xiaoxiao’s song at the entrance to the second floor, his expression had turned even colder. Could it really be related to Xiaoxiao?
