Chapter 525: Chapter 523 My home is too remote_1

Xiaoxiao stayed at home for a day, and Mu Zisu had called her three times in total: once when she arrived at the office in the morning, once during lunch, and again before leaving work in the afternoon.

Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered what Mu Zixuan mentioned before leaving about the so-called "honeymoon phase." She curled her lips into a light smile—this must be the "honeymoon phase" Shanshan talked about, right?

Su Yanqin was out all day, likely busy with some collaboration, and Su Yanruo had left in the afternoon, seemingly having received a call from Mu Shiming...

So when Mu Zisu got home from work, he found Xiaoxiao sitting bored on the living room sofa watching television by herself.

Upon seeing him return, Xiaoxiao instantly rose from the sofa with a burst of surprise, "You’re finally back; I’ve been so bored at home all by myself..."

Looking at Xiaoxiao’s woeful expression, Mu Zisu felt warmly content inside.

"Where’s Shanshan? She still hasn’t come back?"

Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, "Not sure... She said she’d be quite busy recently; maybe she’s working overtime at the company?"

"Hmm... Tomorrow’s the weekend, I’ll stay at home with you..." Mu Zisu reached out and tousled her hair.

Xiaoxiao’s clear eyes suddenly shone brightly, "For real?"

"Hmm..." Mu Zisu raised his eyebrows in a nod.

Xiaoxiao immediately squinted her eyes with joy...

After dinner and back in the bedroom, Mu Zisu carried Xiaoxiao into a lovers’ bath, and after some exertion, he lay on the bed holding her with a smile on his lips.

"Where are your parents?" asked Mu Zisu out of the blue.

When Xiaoxiao first started staying with Mu Zisu, it had been arranged by Old Master Su, so he never looked into her family background.

He had wanted to ask her about it since the day she had that strange physical reaction, but he never found the right moment.

He could of course have someone look into it if he wanted to, but he felt that asking her directly was much better than hearing it from someone else.

He wanted to know everything about her, all her past affairs.

Xiaoxiao was initially stunned by his question, then after pondering for a moment, she smiled at him, "They... are quite old now, staying in my hometown..."

"Your home is in the South..." Mu Zisu looked down at her.

"Yeah, that’s right..." Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes.

"I want to visit them during the Spring Festival this year..." Mu Zisu spoke earnestly.

Xiaoxiao’s expression froze for a moment, then she scratched her head somewhat uncomfortably, "My place is really remote; I’m afraid you won’t be comfortable going there..."

"As long as it’s on Earth, no matter how remote, I’ll adapt."

Xiaoxiao was internally conflicted, unsure whether to divulge the complicated relationship between her family and his.

But then she thought, someone as proud as him, if he knew he’d been deceived by so many people—it would definitely make him angry...

Perhaps she should wait a bit longer...

Let her prepare herself emotionally first—

The next day—

As Xiaoxiao descended the stairs, it was surprisingly devoid of anyone.

Mu Zisu and Mu Zixuan were absent, as were Su Yanqin and Su Yanruo.

She furrowed her brows, wondering where everyone had gone...

With a hint of suspicion, she walked to the door and glanced outside, and she indeed saw Mu Zisu.

The morning light poured down from behind him, bathing him in a delicate and soft golden glow, his tall and majestic figure, his exceptionally handsome features, and the innate nobility in his demeanor— he was as if the most exquisite work of art crafted by the hands of a god...

Xiaoxiao was momentarily spellbound; no matter how many times she looked at him, she could never get enough...

She remembered the first time she saw him in a photograph, it had struck her with the same thunderous intensity.

Mu Zisu also saw her and elegantly walked up to her, stretching out a hand to smooth the hair on her forehead.

"Let’s have breakfast..."

Having said that, he took Xiaoxiao’s hand and walked inside.

The moment they entered hand in hand, they came face-to-face with Mu Zixuan, who had just stepped out of the bedroom.

"Oh my... Seeing you two show off your love first thing in the morning is just unbearable..." Mu Zixuan stretched languidly, unperturbed, and headed toward the dining room.

"Where did you go last night?" Mu Zisu, still holding Xiaoxiao’s hand, followed and took a seat.

The servant immediately served breakfast--

Mu Zixuan paused, her eyes spinning before she let out a sly chuckle, "I’ve fallen in love..."

"Cough!" Xiaoxiao choked on the milk she’d just sipped.

Mu Zisu casually pulled out a napkin and passed it to her.

"Xiaoxiao... don’t get too excited, I’m just in love, not getting married..."

Mu Zixuan blinked innocently with her large eyes--

"When did this start?" Mu Zisu looked up at Mu Zixuan.

Mu Zixuan raised her eyebrows, "Yesterday..."

"You went on a date with Pei Mojing last night?" Xiaoxiao finally caught her breath.

Mu Zixuan scoffed, "Call it a date if you will..."

Xiaoxiao then nodded with a smile, her expression one of realization.

"Also... he might come over this afternoon. Brother, it’s up to you now..." Mu Zixuan fluttered her long lashes a couple of times.

Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle at her antics, ah, Shanshan is just too adorable.

Mu Zisu finally reacted, "How do you expect me to entertain him..."

"Well..." Mu Zixuan scratched her head, how to entertain him... "Hmm... I definitely have to let him know I have a super invincible big brother, so he won’t dare to bully me in the future..." Pei Mojing always played it tough and soft with her, almost driving her to the edge of defeat.

Xiaoxiao inwardly offered her condolence to Pei Mojing, these siblings and their tactics, haha...

Mu Zisu looked skeptically at Mu Zixuan--

Bully her?

He couldn’t imagine, so far, anyone who could bully her.

At ten in the morning, Pei Mojing indeed arrived--

It was his first time visiting his fiancée’s brother and he was understandably nervous, really nervous.

Gifts, both large and small, were carefully carried from the car. The butler immediately stepped forward to politely take them, inwardly extremely shocked.

The second young miss had grown so much, and this was the first time a man came to visit so formally, and this man had an extraordinary temperament, outstanding among his peers. He wondered which family’s young master he was, to be so capable.

Mu Zixuan sneered, thinking he sure didn’t come empty-handed.

"The sun is lovely, let’s go to the garden..." Mu Zixuan suggested brightly, looking at the group smiling.

Mu Zisu nodded, with Xiaoxiao grinning beside him.

Pei Mojing raised an eyebrow and then his lips curled into a slight smile, "Okay..."

Once they were in the garden, Mu Zisu went straight to the pavilion where a chess set was already prepared--

Pei Mojing’s smile deepened, but he couldn’t help feeling a pang of regret inside for not brushing up on his chess skills before coming. Losing today would mean that, in Shanshan’s eyes, it would still be her big brother who was the strongest. Sigh, having such a formidable brother-in-law could be a headache too!
