Chapter 466: Chapter 464: Shameless Scoundrel_1

In that instant, rage seemed to shatter his rationale. He clenched his fists and took two large strides forward, but after just two steps, he abruptly halted again.

He squinted as he watched the two turn left together, and then disappear from his sight.

He took a deep breath, slightly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the fury that had filled them was replaced by calm. His handsome face appeared as indifferent as clouds on the horizon, his tall and upright figure radiating an even colder and more aloof aura, so frigid and lofty, so unapproachable...

He was Mu Zisu! His emotions should not be controlled by a mere woman!

Mu Zixuan lost miserably tonight, with all the cash in her purse won by Pei Mojing alone.

If the others had won it, she might have felt a bit better about it, but why the hell did it have to be that bastard who won!

She was absolutely furious!

"Do you need a loan?" Pei Mojing asked with a teasing smile, looking at Mu Zixuan’s embarrassed face.

"I have a card!" Mu Zixuan slammed her card onto the table and looked at Pei Mojing arrogantly, her chin raised.

She never carried much cash on her, and with the awful luck she had tonight, not a single one of the bills she took out of her purse made its way back in, which was incredibly frustrating...

Seeing Mu Zixuan’s utterly frustrated expression, Pei Mojing felt a surge of warmth in his heart. Why was the time he spent with her so joyful?

"Let’s call it a day... We’ve played for quite a while, and today is Shaoqing’s birthday. Let’s go sing him a birthday song..." Pei Mojing stood up from his seat, intending to pull up Mu Zixuan, who was still seated.

But Mu Zixuan remained in her chair, immobile. "What do you mean? Do you think I, Mu Zixuan, can’t accept a loss?" Leaving now would feel utterly humiliating.

"So it’s me who can’t take winning, right? Come on... the key point is Shaoqing’s birthday. It’s getting late, and there will be no time to sing him a birthday song if we don’t go now..." Pei Mojing forcefully pulled her up from her seat.

"Who is your sweetheart! Stop fooling around!" Mu Zixuan stood up and glared at him fiercely.

Pei Mojing felt that whether she was asleep, embarrassed, or being boisterous and cute, in his eyes, she was absolutely perfect.

He curved his lips into a light smile, his narrow phoenix eyes slightly narrowing, his gaze filled with endless affection.

Seizing an unguarded moment, he leaned in close to her ear and whispered in an ambiguous tone, "Shanshan provokes love..." Then he turned and started to lead her outside.

Mu Zixuan didn’t catch on at first, and it took her a couple of seconds to realize what he meant.

She immediately gnashed her teeth and lowly growled at the figure in front of her, "You shameless wretch!"

When they reached the outside area, they just stumbled upon Xiaoxiao and Zhuo Shaoqing singing a duet love song...

Actually, Xiaoxiao was singing reluctantly. In her view, love songs weren’t something to be sung casually with just anyone, but Zhuo Shaoqing had insisted he didn’t want any gifts, only for her to sing a song with him, so she had no choice but to sing despite feeling awkward...

Although Mu Zixuan had never been in a relationship, the way Zhuo Shaoqing looked at Xiaoxiao made it clear to most what he felt. Unexpectedly... this Young Master Zhuo had truly fallen for Xiaoxiao, and he was quite proactive about it. He treated Xiaoxiao exceptionally well... But was this good or bad for Yaoyao?

But it seemed from Xiaoxiao’s expression that she only saw Zhuo Shaoqing as a friend. After all, her heart had always harbored someone, not easily let go...

After Zhuo Shaoqing and Xiaoxiao finished their duet, everyone requested a birthday song for Zhuo Shaoqing...

Watching Xiaoxiao’s pure and beautiful face shimmer under the lights, Zhuo Shaoqing felt an impulse to confess his feelings then and there, but he knew well it wasn’t the right time. If he did that, he would surely scare her...

When the event ended, Zhuo Shaoqing and Pei Mojing were insistent on driving Xiaoxiao and Mu Zixuan home.

Before Xiaoxiao could open her mouth to refuse, Mu Zixuan had already shot back, "Xiaoxiao and I will take a cab home, no need for you guys to send us off!"

"Do you have cash on you?" Pei Mojing immediately teased her with a playful look.

Mu Zixuan’s mouth twitched, this damn man!

"Xiaoxiao has it!" she squeezed out three words through her teeth.

"Yeah, I do, it’s getting late, you guys should head back as well, no need to send us off..." Xiaoxiao said, smiling at the two men.

Zhuo Shaoqing was the first to give in, "Alright... then be careful on the road, and... call me when you get home..."

"Mhm..." Xiaoxiao nodded.

"Well, okay then..." Pei Mojing had no choice but to nod helplessly.

After Xiaoxiao and Mu Zixuan were sent on their way in the taxi, Xiaoxiao immediately turned to look at Mu Zixuan sitting beside her.

"Shanshan... you still haven’t told me, how exactly did you end up being taken to the hotel by Pei Mojing?"

At the mention of Pei Mojing’s name, Mu Zixuan felt a tightness in her heart, took a breath, and bitterly told Xiaoxiao, "That bastard actually ambushed me at the company, and I’m puzzled, how did he find out my workplace..."

Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but cover her mouth and snicker, "Isn’t your famous name something anyone could find out with just a little asking?"

Mu Zixuan huffed, "Thinking of all the people I’ve played tricks on over the years, why did I have to meet such a Plague God... No, I need to come up with a way to properly teach him a lesson, make him remember this! He really thinks I, Mu Zixuan, am so easy to bully!"

Mu Zixuan said indignantly, rubbing her chin.

Xiaoxiao laughed softly, "I’ll wait for your good news..."

"No problem..."

Upon arriving at the Mu Family home, Xiaoxiao glanced at the time and suddenly widened her eyes, "Shanshan... it’s almost one in the morning!"

Mu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, "Yeah... what did you think?"

"I thought it wasn’t even 12 o’clock yet..."

"Let’s go, let’s go... I wonder if Yaoyao has gone to bed yet. If he sees us coming home so late, we’re definitely going to be scolded..." Mu Zixuan said, pulling Xiaoxiao along as they started to jog.

Upon entering -- Mu Zixuan tiptoed toward her bedroom and gestured Xiaoxiao to be quiet with a ’shush’ sign.

Xiaoxiao had to lighten her steps, moving up to the second floor like a thief, and even though she tried to be as quiet as possible, the high heels she wore still made some noise.

She was on edge, dreading that the noise would wake Mu Zisu, but just as she tensed up climbing to the second floor, she ran smack into Mu Zisu, who had just come out of the study.

Her breath caught, and facing the elegant man dressed in casual black, she couldn’t help feeling a bit guilty as she forced a smile, "Hehehe... haven’t gone to bed yet..."
