Chapter 485: Chapter 483 She Only Cares About Him_1

Xiaoxiao lifted her gaze, looking at how his thigh rested atop the other, his leisurely posture sprawled on the couch, a tightness gripped her heart...

Such a side of Mu Zisu was rarely seen by her, elegant, languid, indifferent, yet it made her feel as though his pair of eyes could see right through everyone who appeared before him.

Xiaoxiao slowly walked up to him, and just as she paused, the Mu Zisu lying on the couch suddenly sat up, stretching out his hand and fiercely pulling her into his embrace...

Taken aback, the world spun around her, and she found herself lying in his broad, solid arms...

She was shocked!

In a sudden movement, she looked up and crashed into Mu Zisu’s pair of black eyes so close before her.

An endless black vortex instantly sucked her in, and within its depths, she thought she saw her own shadow...

Shock, helplessness, panic, confusion...

"Xiaoxiao... To be my woman, you must have the strength to withstand any gossip..."

His voice, cold as a string, resonated in her ear, and Xiaoxiao instantaneously woke up, her pupils dilating to their fullest in sheer astonishment as she looked at the god-like handsome man before her...

It wasn’t the gossip that shocked Xiaoxiao, but his words—becoming his woman!

"If you can’t even endure this much, how long do you think the names Xiaoxiao and Mu Zisu can be linked together?"

Mu Zisu stared intently at the shocked, stiff figure in his arms...

Today, he had only thrown a small smokescreen, yet she had been so affected by those rumors. If he took any further action, wouldn’t she simply hide away at home, never to meet anyone again?

Mu Zisu’s words exploded in her head like a bomb and pierced her heart with the ruthlessness of a sharp sword!

Yes... he was a king in the eyes of thousands; this was the reality she was most reluctant yet had to accept. Standing beside him meant she had to endure any criticism from others, whether they were cursing, envying, resenting, or scorning her, she had to accept it all!

But these were not what she cared about...

Before she could voice this thought, Mu Zisu’s voice deepened considerably as he continued, "My woman may be delicate but not weak!"

With deliberate slowness, Mu Zisu extended his hand, elegantly lifting a strand of black hair that had fallen on his arm...

His black eyes shone with an unruly, unworldly light...

Xiaoxiao’s body suddenly stiffened once more; she felt as rigid as stone from head to toe, with only her heart fiercely and violently trembling...

Weak?

He was calling her weak?

Did she really think that she was like this because of those rumors?

All she cared about was him... it was him!

What she cared about was whether he cared for her or not...

However, she had failed to realize that the once fearless wild child had, unconsciously, become the ’weak’ one he described...

He was wrong; she wasn’t weak, she was abject...

When had it all begun?

Why had she become what she was today?

Where had the old her gone?

Her stubbornness, her pride, her willfulness—where had they all gone?

In an instant, her tears fell like rain.

It turns out—the one who falls in love first is destined to be the most lowly of the two...

Mu Zisu’s pupils suddenly constricted...

"Mu Zisu... anyone can say this sentence, only you--cannot!"

From the moment she first saw him, two years of unrequited affection, five years of devotion, she had never flinched in the seven years for him, except for those most beautiful words, "I love you"...

If she hadn’t known his distaste for women, if she hadn’t known that expressing her love could have driven her away from him, how could she have suppressed her feelings for so many years, even losing her original self...

Suddenly stubborn, she lifted her chin high, letting the tears stream down from the corners of her eyes...

She abruptly pushed him away, who was pressing in on her, and rushed out of the office without looking back...

He never understood her...

And she never expected him to...

It was just--his words really wounded her to the core...

Mu Zisu’s fingers slowly tightened, feeling a warmth in the palm of his hand, it was Na Xiaoxiao’s tears...

That warm temperature seemed to make his heart tremble slightly...

Had he made a mistake?

Should he not have used this method?

Should he have held her in his arms and told her not to mind the opinions of others, that all she needed to do was to stay by his side...

Mu Zisu thought Na Xiaoxiao had simply stomped off to her office in a huff, but to his surprise, when it was almost time to leave work, he repeatedly dialed Na Xiaoxiao’s mobile phone only to find it unreachable. When he called her office phone, nobody answered the first time, and the second time someone else picked up...

"Where is Na Xiaoxiao?"

"President Mu, that secretary, after she came out from your office this afternoon, ran directly towards the elevator. She must have had something urgent to attend to..." the assistant reported honestly.

That afternoon, ever since Na Xiaoxiao had entered the president’s office, they had been paying close attention to the situation there. But after waiting for a while, they didn’t see Na Xiaoxiao come out...

While several of them were discussing in whispers why she had stayed inside for so long, they saw a figure flash quickly past them. Taking a closer look, they realized it was Na Xiaoxiao...

Seeing her rush like that, she must have something urgent...

Upon hearing the assistant’s words, a sudden heaviness settled in Mu Zisu’s heart!

He had called her to his office just after one o’clock that afternoon, and now it was past six o’clock. During these five hours, she had not been in her office!

Without the time to say anything, he hung up the phone and then quickly called the Mu Family’s residence. After asking the butler, a chill settled in his heart!

Na Xiaoxiao hadn’t gone home!

Where could she be?

She didn’t have a single friend here!

Friend?

At the thought of this word, Mu Zisu suddenly remembered Zhuo Shaoqing!

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the idea of going there and quickly made two more calls...

Outside the window, without knowing when, a light rain had started. The rain in autumn was frequent and once it began, it wouldn’t stop for a while...

Mu Zisu’s eyes darkened as he picked up his suit jacket and quickly headed for the door...

It was past six o’clock, and it was already growing dark, especially on rainy days when it became dark much earlier than usual...

When Mu Zisu reached the parking lot, he received a phone call. It was from someone he had asked to check the security footage for Na Xiaoxiao’s whereabouts...

After the person on the other end reported back to him in detail, he drove out of the parking lot quickly, blending into the night shrouded in drizzle and dim lights...
