Chapter 524: Chapter 522 Let’s Be Together_1

"Although I am still a professional actor for the time being, I never pretend in front of the person I love," Pei Mojing said, his handsome brows lifting slightly.

Mu Zixuan looked at him speechlessly, "Anyway, I’ve already told you, whether you retire or not has nothing to do with me..."

Pei Mojing smirked, "Are you afraid that if I lose my job, I won’t be able to support you?"

"I’m leaving..." Mu Zixuan turned and walked towards the door.

But suddenly, Pei Mojing spoke up, "It won’t be too soon, at least not for another half a year..." There was still so much work in progress; it wasn’t something he could just quit immediately; six months was the quickest timeline in his estimate.

"Also, I have other reasons for retiring from the entertainment industry, so you don’t have to feel troubled by it..."

Mu Zixuan turned back to look at him with a complex expression. The ’other reasons’ he referred to, were they because of his family matters?

The first time she came here, she had asked about his parents, but he directly told her he had none. At that time, she thought his parents had passed away, but then she heard from Xiaoxiao that he was the heir of the Asia-Europe Group—

She knew about the Asia-Europe Group. Its chairman Pei Yucheng was an impressive figure. She had heard he had a son living abroad, but she never imagined it would be Pei Mojing, who frequented the entertainment industry. What exactly had happened between them?

She suddenly really wanted to know, but as the words reached her lips, she felt it wasn’t her place to ask.

She smiled faintly, tilting her head, "With those words from you, I really don’t feel troubled anymore..."

Having said that and just about to reach the door to change shoes and leave, she didn’t expect the doorbell to ring...

She raised an eyebrow, wondering who could be knocking on the door at this hour?

She stood still without moving, while Pei Mojing seemed to ponder the same question. After hesitating for a while, he finally went forward and opened the door.

The door hadn’t fully opened when a voice so coquettish it could not be any more coquettish came from outside, "Brother... why did it take you so long to open the door~"

Mu Zixuan felt her skin crawl, but a subtle wave of annoyance silently crossed her heart.

Upon hearing that voice, Pei Mojing instinctively wanted to close the door again, but the person outside squeezed in through the crack in the door.

"Brother, don’t always be like this," the person entered and looked at Pei Mojing with a face full of grievances.

Only then did Mu Zixuan get a clear look at the person in front of her.

Dressed provocatively, her makeup flamboyant and seductive, another beauty, but just from that voice, Mu Zixuan simply couldn’t stand it. Now seeing her in person, she really felt no fondness at all.

Pei Mojing’s face darkened, "What are you here for?"

"Isn’t it your birthday today, Dad asked you to come home, and you didn’t, so I came to see you..."

Pei Mojing threw the door open and pointed to the entrance, "Go..."

Pei Tianzi was about to raise her voice again when she caught sight of Mu Zixuan at the side.

At that moment, she lost her composure, her previously docile and harmless expression turning venomous, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Before Mu Zixuan could say anything, Pei Mojing pulled her and flung her harshly towards the outside. Who knew Pei Tianzi would be so tenacious, clutching the door frame and refusing to let go, her fierce demeanor truly startling Mu Zixuan.

"I’m not leaving! You actually hide a woman at home! I’ll definitely tell Dad when I get back!"

"I’ll say it one more time! You’re not allowed to step foot in here again!" Pei Mojing threw Pei Tianzi out with all his might and then slammed the door shut with a bang!

Pei Tianzi immediately started yelling outside the door, her behavior drastically different from when she had just arrived!

Mu Zixuan had just made out a bit of information from their conversation—had that woman just mentioned "dad"?

Were they...

Siblings? Or had Pei Mojing already gotten married?

This thought startled Mu Zixuan herself...

It felt as though a stone was weighing on her chest, making her breath uncomfortable.

The two of them stood there in silence, and only after the noise outside had finally died down did Pei Mojing take Mu Zixuan’s hand and look down at her. "She..." He uttered a word as if it was difficult to speak, Mu Zixuan didn’t know what he was feeling at that moment.

"She’s the woman my stepmother brought into the Pei family..." Pei Mojing’s tone was low, particularly when he said "stepmother," as if he was squeezing the words out between his teeth, filled with such hatred!

Mu Zixuan’s eyes suddenly widened in shock—stepmother?

He—

Pei Mojing gave a mocking smile, let go of Mu Zixuan, and turned to look at the empty room.

"This house was bought the year my mother died. Less than two months after my mother’s death, that woman moved into the Pei residence with her two children and became the mistress of the Pei Family! Ridiculous, isn’t it?"

He turned around to face Mu Zixuan, then added, "What’s even more ridiculous is that she was my mother’s best friend before she passed..."

"So... I left the Pei Family, did you know that? I despise the Pei Family! I despise those within it with ulterior motives! I even despise myself!"

Pei Mojing’s voice was deep, mixed with a hint of defeat and hatred, very conflicted and complex.

Mu Zixuan’s heart sank along with his words. So that was it... the occasional melancholy in his eyes stemmed from this...

A pang of inexplicable pain and sadness swept over her heart for his family history, for his mother.

For a woman to pass away and not even two months later, her husband marries another woman into the home—it is truly a sad affair. If she could see from another world, she would certainly be so upset, so heartbroken...

"Pei Mojing..." She couldn’t help calling out to him, wanting to offer comfort, yet not knowing what to say. She really had never comforted a man before.

Suddenly, Pei Mojing reached out and embraced Mu Zixuan, holding her so tightly, so fondly.

"Shanshan... you’re the first one who has moved my heart, who has made me feel warmth, made me happy. That’s why I don’t want to let go..." Therefore, he had to fight for it, the chance to be with her forever.

Mu Zixuan’s heartstrings quivered gently, and her eyes, bright as stars, flashed with a rainbow hue. Could she say that he was also the first man to make her heart flutter?

If she was unsure about this feeling before, she was now certain—it was the feeling of being moved...

"Shanshan... let’s be together... I want to love you properly..." Pei Mojing held Mu Zixuan tightly, as if she were precious treasure.

The corners of Mu Zixuan’s mouth curved slightly upward, a graceful arc that was enchanting.

"That depends on your performance..."

Pei Mojing’s body tensed up, his narrow phoenix eyes filled with overwhelming joy.

His heart racing, he lowered his head and passionately sealed Mu Zixuan’s tender red lips with his own.

Mu Zixuan silently rolled her eyes inwardly; she knew it all too well—you give this man an inch, and he’ll take a mile...
