Chapter 497: Chapter 495: Too Stubborn to Admit Defeat and Suffering for It_1

As for why she only realized it now, it might be because of that night when he brought her lace pajamas, and his words the next day when she peeked at him changing clothes...

With the warning look from Mu Zisu, Xiaoxiao obediently sat in her seat without daring to move an inch closer to him.

The atmosphere in the car was eerily silent; in fact, it was always this quiet with the driver and a companion...

But tonight, because the two of them were in the midst of a conflict, it felt different from usual...

Xiaoxiao leaned against the car window, resting her head on one hand, motionlessly staring at Mu Zisu on the other side...

Since she had already thickened her skin enough tonight, she might as well take the opportunity to appreciate him properly—it wouldn’t be a loss...

Normally, Mu Zisu hated it when people stared at him like that, but when Xiaoxiao did, he felt not a shred of annoyance; instead, a sense of smugness and pride unexpectedly emerged...

With this realization, he couldn’t help but curse silently in his heart, damn it!

Xiaoxiao had repeatedly crossed his boundaries, yet he still couldn’t bring himself to lash out at her or ignore her altogether. This feeling of not being in control was damn frustrating!

The car moved smoothly to the Mu Family’s grand estate and stopped. Mu Zisu got out of the car without any intention of waiting for Xiaoxiao...

Xiaoxiao’s feet were killing her. She got out of the car carrying her shoes and, watching his resolute departing figure, she couldn’t help but lament, "Can you wait up for me... My feet hurt..."

Her complaint about her aching feet successfully made Mu Zisu pause and look back...

Xiaoxiao gazed at him with a pained expression...

She had thought Mu Zisu would show some sympathy, but who knew—

"You brought it on yourself!"

With those three harsh words dropped, he walked towards the building without looking back...

His stride was fierce and resolute, but his heart couldn’t help but worry about Xiaoxiao...

Xiaoxiao felt numb from Mu Zisu’s blows. She followed him, enduring the pain, and said hastily, "I really didn’t know I would meet Zhuo Shaoqing at the banquet tonight..."

The slight pity in Mu Zisu’s heart was instantly swept away by her words.

He quickened his pace, leaving Xiaoxiao behind.

Xiaoxiao was in distress, wondering what it would take for him to stop being angry with her.

Looking down at her disheveled condition, she ignored the servants’ strange looks, sighed deeply, and continued to jog after Mu Zisu.

"Mu Zisu..."

"Zisu..."

"Susu..."

Xiaoxiao, determined to emulate Xiaoqiang’s indomitable spirit, decided to do her best to please Mu Zisu.

Mu Zisu walked briskly forward, hearing the jogging footsteps and the pleading calls behind him. He couldn’t help but curl a smile.

Upon reaching the door of his room, he walked in and, inadvertently, left the door ajar.

Xiaoxiao took the chance and followed him in...

She stepped forward and grabbed his arm, "Will you listen to my explanation, please?"

Mu Zisu feigned disdain as he raised his eyebrows, uncaringly saying, "Explain what?"

Seeing that he was finally willing to let her explain, Xiaoxiao rejoiced and blurted out hurriedly and incoherently, "I... I really didn’t know I would run into Zhuo Shaoqing at the banquet, and there’s really nothing between us. Please don’t misunderstand or be angry, okay?" Believe her...

She hoped Mu Zisu would understand her meaning and stop ignoring her, she and Zhuo Shaoqing were really just ordinary friends. Although he had confessed to her, she explicitly told Zhuo Shaoqing that she had someone she liked, and after tonight’s events, Zhuo Shaoqing also knew about her situation with him. As for the scene he had witnessed, it really was just a coincidence...

After listening to Na Xiaoxiao’s explanation, Mu Zisu spoke with an indifferent expression, "You’re overthinking it, I’ve got no misunderstanding nor am I angry..."

Na Xiaoxiao gaped in suspicion...

What was he saying?

No misunderstanding nor anger?

Then, whose benefit had his dark expression been for all this way?

For ghosts?

"You’re not capable of that yet..." Mu Zisu suddenly added, then walked straight to the coat rack, took off his suit jacket, revealing a pristine white shirt with slight wrinkles.

Na Xiaoxiao realized then that this man was just stubbornly saving face while in pain...

Forget it, since tonight’s incident was related to her anyway, and since he was no longer angry, nothing could be better than that. Otherwise... she would probably suffer from insomnia until dawn again.

"Just wait obediently..." Mu Zisu coolly dropped four words towards Na Xiaoxiao, then took long strides towards the bathroom.

Na Xiaoxiao curled her lip. He was the boss; whose command dare not be followed?

The faint sound of running water from the bathroom reached Na Xiaoxiao’s ears, and she sat somewhat listlessly on the thin plush carpet by the bed, resting her head against the edge of the bed, her eyes staring straight in the direction of the bathroom.

She felt that after arriving in C City, her relationship with Mu Zisu had suddenly undergone a drastic transformation. When did it all start?

She thought about it and felt it had started that night she walked into the wrong room...

That night, it was also in this room...

That night, he carried her from the bathroom to the bed...

That night, the him with a preference for cleanliness even let her sleep in his big bed, while he himself went to her bedroom to rest for the night...

As she pondered, a sweet tenderness slowly stirred in Na Xiaoxiao’s heart...

Although he usually appeared cold and intimidating on the outside, he was actually gentle and considerate on the inside...

While she was staring at the bathroom and foolishly grinning, the bathroom door suddenly opened, and an imposing man, wrapped in only a white towel, emerged surrounded by steam.

Droplets of water trickled down his damp hair, slowly flowing over his toned and sturdy chest. The chill that usually pervaded him seemed to have been dispelled by the hot water, leaving behind very little, replaced by a sense of unrestrained laziness and nonchalance...

Na Xiaoxiao stared dumbfounded, the lazy, casual look made even his harsh facial features seem softer, igniting a sudden urge within her to throw herself at him...

But she had the courage to think it, not the courage to act!

Mu Zisu frowned when he saw the figure sitting on the floor by the bed...

She looked so pitiful there on the ground, as if he had bullied her!

"Is the floor comfortable?" Mu Zisu took a glance at her.

Na Xiaoxiao immediately got up with the help of the bed, then whispered, "It was quite comfortable..."

The floor was carpeted and the edge of the bed unimaginably soft, so it was indeed very comfortable...

Mu Zisu narrowed his eyes and flung the towel in his hand over her head...

"Come here and dry my hair..."
