Chapter 523: Chapter 521: No Wonder She is an Actress_1

Before long, beautiful piano notes began to drift gently from the music room...

Accompanied by Xu Junxian’s supremely perfect singing voice, it was truly a dreamy and intoxicating experience.

Pei Mojing was obviously very moved, a sentiment that couldn’t be expressed in words—

Mu Zixuan felt that Pei Mojing was a man with a story, and she suddenly became quite curious about the source of the fleeting melancholy in his eyes—

As the piece concluded, Neil, Pei Mojing, and Le Xiaofeng slowly started to applaud.

Mu Zixuan nodded to herself and also clapped her hands lightly.

"Happy birthday..." Xu Junxian emerged from the piano room.

"It’s a bit cliché to say ’thank you’, but I still want to say it..." Pei Mojing said, smiling.

"Alright... then we’ll head back first, don’t want to interrupt your date~" Neil said with a he-he and a direct laugh at the two.

Mu Zixuan rolled her eyes, "What date? You guys stay here and ’date’ him..."

As soon as she spoke, Le Xiaofeng burst into a sudden fit of laughter.

"Thanks to Miss Mu’s reminder, it seems I remember there was some rumor about coming out of the closet not long ago... Eh? Yeah, I just came back from abroad, and you’re telling me about this? What’s the deal?"

Foreheads covered in sweat, Pei Mojing and Xu Junxian glanced at each other, while Neil chuckled, shoulders shaking. Wasn’t the instigator standing right beside them?

A surge of amusement welled up inside Mu Zixuan; she couldn’t hold it back any longer.

"Stop laughing, tell me..." Le Xiaofeng pressed Neil and Mu Zixuan for answers, growing anxious.

"Didn’t we say it was a rumor?" Neil said, laughing so hard he could barely catch his breath.

"I know, I want to know why that kind of rumor would spread..."

"A prank..." Pei Mojing said calmly, exhaling the three words.

"Ah? Who? That’s so creative, I want to take them as my teacher..."

"Far in the distance, close at hand." Neil continued to chuckle under his breath.

Le Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, then glanced around at everyone before finally settling his gaze on Mu Zixuan.

Mu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, "Why are you looking at me? It’s got nothing to do with me..."

The others nearly fainted at her words. It was the epitome of having no skin in the game—

If it wasn’t related to her, then who was it related to?

"Alright, alright, that’s all in the past. Let’s get out of here..." Neil waved at the two.

"Hey, I still have so many questions. What’s the rush? Plus, didn’t Shaoqing come back recently? I heard he fell for a beautiful girl? Is that true or false..."

At the mention of Zhuo Shaoqing, everyone sighed inwardly.

"What’s true can’t be false, and what’s false can’t be true..." Pei Mojing said in a casual tone.

Poor Shaoqing had faced a formidable rival in love.

"Hey~ so is it true or not? Where is that beauty now? Let me have a chance to see her myself and, incidentally, try to poach her for Shaoqing..." Le Xiaofeng said righteously.

Several people beside him kept signaling to him with their eyes, but the guy just didn’t get it, continuing to brag, "When this young master makes a move, I’m worth two others; I’m sure I can snag that beauty..."

"You might as well try to snatch her, that’s the great actor Pei’s aunt-in-law..." Neil couldn’t take it anymore, he had to speak up.

"Pfft—" Le Xiaofeng choked on his own spit.

"What? Aunt-in-law? Ajin’s wife?" Le Xiaofeng blinked twice, oh Emma, wasn’t that Miss Mu’s sister-in-law?

Mu Zixuan’s eyes suddenly filled with a murderous glare as she stared at Neil. Pei Mojing’s aunt-in-law? He really had a way with words!

Neil broke into a dry laugh, "Heh heh... it’s getting late, time to go..." he said, retreating towards the door.

"I’m leaving too..." Though Xu Junxian had nothing to do with it, he felt it was better not to be a third wheel here.

Le Xiaofeng finally noticed that someone was about to blow up, abruptly gave a few forced laughs, and dashed to the door, "I’m leaving too, bye..."

With that, he closed the door with a bang.

The tense atmosphere in the room suddenly left only Mu Zixuan and Pei Mojing together.

Mu Zixuan, still angry, said, "Pei Mojing, I want to know, how on earth did my brother become your uncle?"

Pei Mojing curved his lips into a mischievous smile, "Isn’t that simple? Before your brother becomes my uncle, the first step is for you to become mine..." He leaned in close to Mu Zixuan’s ear and whispered two words.

Mu Zixuan suddenly shoved him away, "Get lost... pervert!"

Pei Mojing dropped the playful look and watched her seriously, "I’m serious... but I’ll wait until the day you’re willing..."

Mu Zixuan’s heart skipped, and she took two steps back, hesitating for a moment before speaking uncertainly, "Pei Mojing... you don’t have to do so much..."

Pei Mojing was momentarily stunned, his phoenix eyes narrowing slightly, "Do what?"

"My brother told me everything..." Mu Zixuan said, watching him intently.

In fact, Mu Zisu hadn’t told her anything—it was she who had eavesdropped.

The expression in Pei Mojing’s eyes suddenly became indifferent, "I’m willing..."

"I don’t need it..." Mu Zixuan looked at him and repeated.

Pei Mojing’s pupils sharply contracted, then after a moment, he said indifferently, "I said I’m willing..."

"Well, I said it too, I don’t need you to leave the entertainment industry..." She respected his work.

"Then are you willing to accept me?" Pei Mojing’s eyes grew deep.

Mu Zixuan was stunned by his question.

"Would you be willing to be with someone who has nothing at all?"

Mu Zixuan saw the melancholy look in his eyes again.

"It’s unrelated to that..." In her view, love wasn’t based on material things or money.

A look of hope appeared in Pei Mojing’s eyes, "Shanshan... give me a chance to love you..."

Mu Zixuan was now very conflicted; she had not yet figured out her true feelings for Pei Mojing.

So--

"I’m sorry..."

She wanted to say, she hadn’t thought it through, she was all mixed up inside.

But Pei Mojing’s next words made her forehead crease, destroying the mood--

"Don’t you think you should take responsibility?"

Mu Zixuan’s mouth twitched, Come on! How could he still be harping on that?

"Why should I be responsible?" She rolled her eyes; after all, it was he who came out of the shower wearing nothing and made his way to her, how was it her fault?

"You saw me, you kissed me, you should take responsibility..." Pei Mojing shamelessly started up again.

Mu Zixuan began to wonder if the melancholic and intense moment a second ago was just him acting for her benefit.

"No wonder you’re an actor, you really got the act down pat!" She gritted her teeth.

This time Pei Mojing was genuinely taken aback by her words, took a moment to think, and then realized what she was referring to.

He laughed helplessly—if it wasn’t for her being impervious to both soft and hard tactics, why would he have such a thick skin?
