Chapter 518: Chapter 516: I Don’t Seem to Know You Well_1

Pei Mojing, clad in a white, elegant suit, looked even more slender.

The corners of his lips held a smile as he gazed at Mu Zixuan, who had a gloomy expression.

"Are you happy to see me?"

Mu Zixuan’s mouth twitched. Happy?

"Your self-perception is really something special..."

"Is it? I think so too. I didn’t expect us to be so in sync..." Pei Mojing unabashedly thickened his skin, his smile wicked.

Mu Zixuan shook her head, "Let it go, we don’t have any kind of rapport... I have to work, I can’t entertain you..."

As she spoke, she tried to walk around him toward the main entrance.

"Shanshan..." Pei Mojing blocked her way.

Mu Zixuan, speechless, massaged her forehead. "We’re not exactly close..."

Pei Mojing couldn’t help laughing. "It’s enough that I’m familiar with you..."

"What are you doing here so early in the morning instead of working?"

"I just wanted to see you..."

"I don’t want to see you..."

"But I want to see you..."

Mu Zixuan frowned, no longer wanting to play word games with him. She said flatly, "Out with it... I have to go to work..." Indeed, today there really was a meeting she couldn’t miss.

Pei Mojing moved closer, his hands coming out of his pockets, and he went up to hold Mu Zixuan’s shoulders.

Mu Zixuan glared at him, stepping back, but her shoulders wouldn’t budge.

She clenched her teeth in frustration. How could this jerk be so strong!

So annoying!

"What are you doing!"

"I just wanted to tell you, my birthday is tomorrow..." Pei Mojing said, his eyes tender.

Ever since his mother had passed away, he had never celebrated his birthday. Isn’t it said that a child’s birthday is the mother’s day of suffering? So, he hadn’t celebrated it for many years.

But this year, he wanted to use his birthday as an excuse to have her accompany him for what would be his first birthday in many years.

Mu Zixuan, who was struggling, paused for a moment, and the angry look on her face was momentarily stunned.

She hadn’t expected that Pei Mojing had come to her for his birthday.

"Your birthday has nothing to do with me..." she pouted.

Pei Mojing felt a slight disappointment, but his face showed no emotion as he said, "I’ve made it clear to you. Don’t you understand what I mean?"

"I don’t understand what you mean..."

"It means I want you to celebrate my birthday with me tomorrow, and most importantly, you need to bring a gift..."

Mu Zixuan’s mouth twitched again. Who asks for presents so shamelessly?

Yet, in her heart, she was inexplicably thinking about what to give him tomorrow. She had never given a man a birthday present before. Isn’t he just giving her a difficult task?

"I’m not good at picking out gifts, so how about I just give you a red packet for you to buy whatever you want?"

Pei Mojing was instantly covered in metaphorical black lines...

This woman, she really has some ideas.

"It’s okay, I’ll like anything..."

"How about I give you a Hello Kitty?"

The smile on Pei Mojing’s lips didn’t fade. "Hmm, I’d like that, it resembles you..."

Mu Zixuan looked heavenward, speechless. God, what kind of person is this?

She rolled her eyes at Pei Mojing. "I need to go to work now. If I don’t leave soon, I’ll be late. We can talk about your present tomorrow..."

Pei Mojing heard Mu Zixuan’s impatient words, but he didn’t get upset; instead, his alluring phoenix eyes gleamed with pleasure.

"Okay... I’ll pick you up tomorrow..."

Mu Zixuan couldn’t be bothered with him anymore, "You can go now, bye..."

With that, she ran toward the company’s main entrance—today there really was a meeting.

Watching Mu Zixuan’s hurried figure, the corners of Pei Mojing’s mouth curled into an even larger smile...

Only with her birthday could it truly be called a birthday...

Na Xiaoxiao slept for a very long time, not waking up until almost 6 o’clock in the evening. When she finally opened her eyes, her mind was blank, empty of everything...

She didn’t even know her own name or where she was.

Staring with dry eyes for a while, her memories then surged back like a flood—

Recalling the events of last night, her body involuntarily shivered violently!

The feeling, like crawling out of a pile of evil spirits, was something she truly didn’t want to experience a second time!

Afterward, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows tightly; her clear eyes were filled with worry and unease. Yesterday’s situation had been so sudden, she hadn’t had time to consider what exactly was wrong with her body...

If she hadn’t seen those eerie pale red lines on her face, perhaps she could find some reason to comfort herself, but she faintly felt that this had nothing to do with sickness...

As she was lost in her thoughts, the door suddenly opened...

Startled, she turned her head to look—

Mu Zisu, clad in casual home attire, walked in from the outside. The moment he saw Na Xiaoxiao awake, a flicker of joy swiftly crossed his deep eyes.

"Awake..." He quickened his pace to the bedside.

Na Xiaoxiao silently nodded her head, feeling her throat was terribly dry and not wanting to speak.

Mu Zisu, seeing Na Xiaoxiao’s complexion had returned to normal, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You must be hungry, wait for me..." Mu Zisu said, about to turn around.

"Zisu..."

Na Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke out, calling after him, her voice hoarse and weak.

Mu Zisu’s body froze instantly. It was the first time Na Xiaoxiao had addressed him as Zisu, and hearing her say his name send a tremor through his heart.

Na Xiaoxiao herself also seemed a bit unaccustomed, but for some reason, the two words from the bottom of her heart had slipped out of her mouth without her even thinking.

Mu Zisu turned around—

"What is it?"

Na Xiaoxiao, looking into Mu Zisu’s deep eyes, felt her heart tighten.

"I don’t want to eat..." Right now, she didn’t want to eat anything; she felt as if she hadn’t slept enough, her mind still somewhat groggy, wanting to sleep well once more.

Mu Zisu heard her somewhat childish words, couldn’t help but tease the tip of his brow, then curved his mouth upward, and approached the bedside again.

"You slept all day, you need to eat something. There’s medicinal porridge in the kitchen, have a bit..."

Mu Zisu’s expression was tender, his tone indulgent, which stunned Na Xiaoxiao.

This side of him, she had never seen before.

He...

A flicker of hope suddenly ignited in her heart, but remembering the scenes from last night, it quickly sank again.

He was being so kind to her; it must be because of her physical condition...

Thinking this, she nodded her head somewhat sorrowfully, "Mhm..."

Mu Zisu, seeing her compliant look, felt a movement in his heart, and couldn’t help but lean down and plant a kiss on her smooth, full forehead.

Na Xiaoxiao’s heartbeat missed a beat, she stared wide-eyed, disbelievingly looking at Mu Zisu.

Mu Zisu, seeing her dazed expression, felt his heart soften. "Wait obediently..." he said, then turned and walked towards the door.
