Chapter 502: Chapter 500 Just a Pet_1

Ten minutes later, the Mu Family’s mansion was within sight, the tires screeched sharply against the road, and then came to an instant halt.

Neither of them spoke. After a three-second pause, Na Xiaoxiao reached out to undo her seatbelt, and Zhuo Shaoqing also began to unbuckle his...

"Zhuo Shaoqing... thank you for driving me home..."

Zhuo Shaoqing’s movement halted, a trace of gloom flitting across his eyes.

Na Xiaoxiao smiled at him lightly, "I’ll be cheering for you through the TV screen..."

Zhuo Shaoqing’s peach blossom eyes suddenly shone with dazzling brilliance, "Really?"

"Mmm... go for it!"

"I will..."

Na Xiaoxiao wanted to open the door and get out of the car, but Zhuo Shaoqing suddenly spoke in a deep voice, "Xiaoxiao..."

Na Xiaoxiao stopped her movements and turned to look at him.

"I wish you happiness..."

Zhuo Shaoqing knew that Na Xiaoxiao’s heart belonged to Mu Zisu, as she had told him so herself, which meant he couldn’t give her that happiness, but still, he wished for her to be happy.

A tinge of sourness sprang up in Na Xiaoxiao’s heart, but her smile remained, "Thank you..."

After Na Xiaoxiao got out of the car, she didn’t go straight into the Mu Family’s mansion. She stood by the car, waving goodbye to Zhuo Shaoqing...

Zhuo Shaoqing, behind the glass, stared blankly at the woman waving goodbye to him, feeling an endless wave of desolation and sorrow...

His fingers clenched tight, he finally started the engine and turned the steering wheel, disappearing like the wind from Na Xiaoxiao’s sight...

When Zhuo Shaoqing’s car vanished into the night, Na Xiaoxiao quickly turned and ran towards the entrance of the Mu Family’s mansion...

The Mu Family’s residence seemed unusually quiet tonight. Na Xiaoxiao could only hear the tap-tap sound of her high heels.

The brightly shining rows of lights seemed to guide her towards the main building of the Mu Family’s mansion.

Anxiety drummed in Na Xiaoxiao’s heart; she knew Mu Zisu was angry. She pondered how to explain things to him when they met, to minimize his fury.

But what she didn’t expect was that the events of this night would become the biggest turning point in her life!

Usually, when she returned, there would be servants coming and going in front of the main building. But tonight, there wasn’t a single one in sight.

Feeling uneasy, she wondered if Mu Zisu, in a fit of anger, had sent all the servants away?

With trepidation, she stepped onto the staircase, carefully making her way into the building...

Upon entering, she felt as if she were instantly trapped by someone!

Her heart skipped a beat; she turned her head and sure enough, there was Mu Zisu, watching her with an indifferent expression, his posture languid yet casual, but in his unfathomable eyes, a black storm was brewing.

Na Xiaoxiao found this Mu Zisu too frightening. She had only seen him like this once before, in Canada, when the Qinglong Association clashed with another gang. In that face-off, he had been just as imposing and suffocating as he was now, making people desperate for escape!

Mu Zisu’s voice was dry, "Where were you..." He idly twirled the Black Gold Dragon Ring on his left thumb as if in a carefree manner.

Na Xiaoxiao clenched her fingers and looked down, her words tumbling out, "I... I tried to call you..."

"I asked where you were?"

His voice was laced with endless icy coldness, making one uncontrollably shiver all over.

Na Xiaoxiao tightened her grip on her fingers, said softly, "I went to see off Zhuo Shaoqing..." She had simply gone to bid him farewell, nothing more.

All of a sudden, Mu Zisu’s eyes narrowed, "Say it again..."

Na Xiaoxiao’s heart skipped a beat, she couldn’t help but look up at him...

She hadn’t forgotten his wariness towards her, but tonight she was merely seeing Zhuo Shaoqing off, and moreover, she was entrusted by others to do so; she didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

"Seeing Zhuo Shaoqing off..." She looked into his storm-filled eyes and spoke again.

Mu Zisu let out a sneer, his laughter wicked, his mirth devoid of affection...

He elegantly rose from the sofa, taking slow, deliberate steps as he made his way towards Na Xiaoxiao.

Na Xiaoxiao felt an overwhelming sense of oppression surging towards her, but she stood her ground, unmoving, because she knew she couldn’t escape...

"Na Xiaoxiao... Did you take my words for naught?" Mu Zisu pinched her chin, his voice was faint, betraying no emotion.

Na Xiaoxiao’s heart trembled, her breathing became erratic...

"I did call you, but you didn’t answer..." She truly wanted to tell him beforehand, but as luck would have it, he didn’t answer.

"After all these years with me, do you still not understand? When I say something, I never take it back!" Mu Zisu’s grasp tightened.

Na Xiaoxiao felt as if her chin was about to be crushed...

"I, like everyone else, was just seeing him off, nothing more..." Na Xiaoxiao indirectly told Mu Zisu that it wasn’t just her seeing Zhuo Shaoqing off; there were others as well.

Na Xiaoxiao’s words recalled to Mu Zisu the moment he had called her only to hear Zhuo Shaoqing’s concerned voice on the other end.

How could that amount to nothing?

Everyone could see the meaning behind Zhuo Shaoqing’s attentiveness to her...

"Na Xiaoxiao... As my woman, you should know how to please me, not go around making me a cuckold every day!" With that, Mu Zisu released her chin abruptly.

Na Xiaoxiao staggered, retreating until she bumped against the half-opened carved wooden door, which slammed shut with a loud snap as a result of her movement.

She leaned against the door, her complexion deathly pale...

It wasn’t the weight of Mu Zisu’s hand that had stunned her, but rather, the hurtfulness of his words!

A cuckold?

He actually accused her of making him a cuckold all the time?

"Is that what you think of me, that I’m that kind of woman?" She lifted her head, her face ghastly white, her eyes filled with pain.

"What do you think? Could you really believe that I, Mu Zisu, would fall for a woman like you?"

Na Xiaoxiao’s legs gave way, and she almost slid down the door onto the floor.

"Let me tell you, Na Xiaoxiao! You’re nothing but a pet I took a fancy to on a whim, don’t take yourself too seriously!"

Arrogance filled Mu Zisu’s inviolable eyes.

Na Xiaoxiao’s breathing faltered...

Then she laughed at herself, "I’ve never taken myself seriously, because I know you don’t love me at all!"

"Your kindness, your consideration, your gentleness towards me, they’re all borne out of your pride, your possessiveness!"

"If Zhuo Shaoqing hadn’t appeared, if it weren’t for the fear of losing face, should your pet be snatched away, you wouldn’t be treating me like this!"

"But Mu Zisu! Even if you never take me seriously, you can’t label me as that kind of woman!"

After screaming out the last sentence, Na Xiaoxiao’s tears burst forth uncontrollably, her heart feeling as if it were being wrenched apart, and perhaps, aside from Mu Zisu, no one else could inflict such profound pain on her...
