Mr. Mu Proposed Again Today
Chapter 500 - 498: Can You Meet Shaoqing?_1

Chapter 500: Chapter 498: Can You Meet Shaoqing?_1

Mu Zisu really did wait until Na Xiaoxiao had finished her breakfast before he stood up from his chair. Na Xiaoxiao couldn’t be more grateful...

That he could show her such mercy, she was already thanking her lucky stars.

When the two arrived at the parking lot, they happened to run into Ji Yunqing and Mu Tianyi.

Na Xiaoxiao was surprised. Were these two coordinating their times to come to work?

Seeing Mu Zisu and Na Xiaoxiao getting out of the car together, they scanned the two from head to toe with ambiguous gazes, their eyes sweeping over them like X-rays, making Na Xiaoxiao’s skin crawl.

Mu Zisu, however, slowly glanced at them, then nonchalantly turned and walked toward the elevator.

Ji Yunqing and Mu Tianyi hurriedly followed...

"Hey? Brother Zisu, what time did you and Xiaoxiao leave last night? How come I didn’t know about it?" Mu Tianyi asked with feigned surprise.

"Yeah... Xiaoxiao... could it be that you and Brother Zisu had a secret date last night?" Ji Yunqing also started teasing.

"That Brother Zisu... You and Xiaoxiao wouldn’t have, uh, that is, you know what I mean..." Mu Tianyi said with a sly grin.

"Exactly... Xiaoxiao... when are you going to treat us to a meal? Overthrowing such a big iceberg is a cause for celebration..."

Na Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but inch closer to Mu Zisu’s side. These two were too scary...

In front of so many people, what were they even saying? Heaven!

It was now peak time for work, and people passing by were curiously sneaking glances their way. Although they couldn’t make out what was being said, from the looks of it, it seemed related to their CEO of Mu Group...

Mu Zisu looked at them with a placid expression, "Does this have anything to do with your work? Too idle?"

Mu Tianyi and Ji Yunqing immediately shook their heads...

"No, no... We’ve been so busy recently we’re practically going insane..."

Na Xiaoxiao saw the two quickly adopt a submissive demeanor and began covering her mouth, snickering.

Mu Zisu’s attitude toward Na Xiaoxiao had been very stable these two days, not flipping like flipping through a book, always indifferent. It was only when they returned to the Mu Family at night that she could feel his passion and frenzy towards her.

However, every night before going to sleep, it would end with a kiss and nothing beyond that happened.

This afternoon, just after six o’clock, Na Xiaoxiao received a call from an unknown number...

She frowned slightly but ended up answering...

"Xiaoxiao... This is Neil..." A voice that was somewhat familiar yet foreign came through the phone.

Initially, Na Xiaoxiao was taken aback, but then she quickly understood...

"Oh, haha, Neil... you’re looking for me..." Na Xiaoxiao thought Neil was reaching out about Shanshan, but instead he said—

"Xiaoxiao... can you meet Shaoqing?" Neil’s voice was low, but Na Xiaoxiao detected from his tone that Zhuo Shaoqing didn’t seem to be doing well.

"Did... did something happen to him?" Her heart skipped a beat. Even though she had no special feelings for Zhuo Shaoqing, he was still a friend after all.

"No... nothing happened to him, it’s just that his condition is very bad..."

Na Xiaoxiao grew silent, understanding that Zhuo Shaoqing was probably suffering because of her...

But she really couldn’t offer him anything...

Perhaps Neil was aware of Na Xiaoxiao’s situation with Mu Zisu, sensing her silence, he continued, "Xiaoxiao... don’t misunderstand, Shaoqing is not the stubborn type, he wouldn’t trouble you and Mu Zisu..."

"He’s leaving C City tomorrow to compete in a rally race, which is very important to him and his team, but he’s not in good form. You might not know this, but when racing, one must concentrate fully and can’t afford to be distracted for even half a second. The outcome of the race doesn’t matter; safety is our biggest concern..."

Neil’s tone was indescribably anxious and melancholic...

Xiaoxiao seemed to understand something.

"You want me to..."

"We’re throwing a send-off party for him tonight, and we hope you can come too. There’s no other reason; we just want you to give him encouragement, cheer him on, help him regain his motivation to compete well..."

Xiaoxiao lowered her gaze and fell silent for a moment...

Thinking Xiaoxiao was unwilling, Neil continued with a cheerful tone, "Of course, if you don’t want to, we won’t blame you. Shaoqing doesn’t know I’m calling you..."

The reason Neil decided to call Xiaoxiao was after a discussion with several others. Chen Ming and Zhuo Shaoqing were racers in the same team, and he knew very well what kind of state one needed to be in for a race. With Zhuo Shaoqing’s current condition, he simply couldn’t race; if he did, it would be tantamount to suicide!

That’s why they had decided to make this call to Xiaoxiao...

But unexpectedly, she...

"Okay, where..."

Just as Neil thought she would refuse, he suddenly heard Xiaoxiao’s voice agreeing.

He instantly smiled happily, "Xiaoxiao... you’re a good girl..."

Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but smile wryly. She just didn’t want Zhuo Shaoqing to be affected by her during the race. If something really happened to him, she would feel guilt for the rest of her life...

Although she didn’t understand racing, judging by Zhuo Shaoqing’s usual driving speed, she knew racing was dangerous.

After hanging up, Xiaoxiao stared at the landline phone for a while, then reached out and made a call.

She felt she should first tell Zisu about this...

But the phone rang several times with no one picking up. She frowned, it had only been an hour since she made him coffee, where could he have gone?

She considered for a moment, then started calling his private number, but after two rings, still no answer.

Sighing, she pulled her shoulders back and stood up from her secretary’s desk, intending to see if Zisu was in the CEO’s office.

Just as she left the secretary’s office, the receptionist who saw her heading towards the CEO’s office couldn’t help but say, "Secretary Na... the CEO and Director Mu just left together, they’re not in the CEO’s office..."

Xiaoxiao then realized, so they had gone out. But why weren’t they answering their phones?

"Do you know where they went?"

"No idea..."

Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but frown. Trying Shiming’s phone, it went straight to voicemail...

Looking up to the sky in exasperation, why was it that whenever she needed to find them, they were nowhere to be found...

She went back to her office and saw that it was nearly 6:30 PM. The party was set for 7:00 PM, so she quickly gathered her things and went downstairs.

Since she had been riding with Zisu these days, her own car was sleeping in the Mu Family garage.

Arriving at the front of the Mu Group building, she hailed a taxi and headed to the address Neil had given.

Sitting in the cab, she couldn’t stop pondering. What could Zisu and Shiming be doing together at this time? And why wasn’t one answering his phone while the other had his phone turned off? Could it be they were meeting someone?
