Chapter 535: Chapter 533: Alive I Belong to You, Dead I am Your Ghost_1

Mu Zixuan squinted her eyes and squeezed two words through her teeth, "Really?"

Pei Mojing smiled tenderly, "In life I am yours, in death I am your ghost..."

"Oh my... I can’t eat anymore..."

"If you can’t eat, then don’t!" Mu Zixuan and Pei Mojing said in unison.

"Forget it, I’ll just keep eating..." Le Xiaofeng looked down.

Xiaoxiao held back her laughter with trembling shoulders; if someone saw her from behind, they might have thought she was crying.

After lunch, the group discussed playing mahjong. Xiaoxiao let the four of them play while she watched, but they insisted on her playing a hand, saying that she wouldn’t learn just by watching.

This troubled Xiaoxiao; she really hadn’t played much before.

"Xiaoxiao... just play with confidence. We’re here to have fun. Mu Zisu’s wallet is full, we won’t go broke by losing..." Neil said to Xiaoxiao, with a meaningful look in his eyes, as he sat on her right.

Pei Mojing sat behind Mu Zixuan, planning to be their Zhuge Liang, so the one most likely to lose terribly was Xiaoxiao.

Xiaoxiao, though inexperienced, had heard of how the game was played.

In the first three rounds, predictably, Xiaoxiao managed to lose to the other three players one round each, but by the fourth round, she started to get the hang of it.

In the end, it was Le Xiaofeng who ended up paying Neil, wincing in pain, wailing loudly.

"Are you for real? Xiaoxiao didn’t complain despite losing three rounds, and I’ve just won a bit of money from you..." Neil said incredulously as he looked at Le Xiaofeng.

"Can I compare with her? I’m currently unemployed; I can’t afford to lose, really can’t afford to..."

"No worries, if push comes to shove, you can always strip down to your belongings for collateral..." Mu Zixuan glanced at him unamused.

"That’s true, your watch alone must be worth at least two million, right?" Pei Mojing glanced at his left wrist.

Le Xiaofeng immediately pulled down his sleeve, "How could that be, it’s all I have left..."

"The jade piece you’re wearing around your neck seems to be worth more than the watch on your wrist. How about gambling that with me?" Neil peered into the top two unbuttoned holes of his shirt.

Le Xiaofeng immediately covered his neckline with both hands, the very picture of an innocent young man.

"How could you be so mean, peeking at me~"

The group instantly became a mess...

Xiaoxiao and Mu Zixuan looked at him with full heads of dark lines, realizing he was the odd one out amongst them...

As the afternoon wore on, the person who lost the most was still Xiaoxiao, but for her, it was purely tuition money...

"Xiaoxiao... it’s good that you were here, otherwise, I would definitely have been the one to lose the most miserably..." Le Xiaofeng counted his money and sighed as he looked over at Xiaoxiao.

Xiaoxiao suddenly curled her lips, true oddballs will be oddballs--

"Next time, you’ll definitely be the one to lose the most miserably..."

Le Xiaofeng stopped counting his money and then declared righteously, "With your words, I firmly refuse to play cards for the rest of the year..."

"Mr. Le, there’s not much left of this year, right..." Mu Zixuan looked at him with contempt.

"Heh, that’s not true, there are still two months left..."

"......"

After dinner, Pei Mojing finally took the two of them back to the Mu Family.

After returning to her bedroom, Xiaoxiao put the tie clip she bought for Mu Zisu into the drawer of her bedside table.

His drawer was almost empty of clutter, very tidy.

Looking at the exquisite tie clip box, Xiaoxiao’s eyes were thoughtful.

Today was the sixth day. He said he would return within ten days, would he?

On the second day, just before leaving work, the receptionist came over with a smile, delivering a letter to her.

Her relationship with Mu Zisu was clear for all to see.

Thus, everyone in the company was exceptionally warm to her; previously, the warmth was because she was the executive secretary, the one closest to Mu Zisu. Now, she might very well be the future Mrs. President—whom else should they be warm to if not her?

Even if some spoke ill of her behind her back, it still didn’t change the fact that she and Mu Zisu were in love.

Xiaoxiao’s heart skipped a beat when she saw the envelope the receptionist brought in.

Without looking, she knew where this letter had come from...

Though she had thought of returning home, the sight of the letter brought a rising unease.

She didn’t understand why her dad was so urgently pushing her to come back...

This time, she did not open it immediately but folded the letter and put it into her purse.

But as she stared at the computer screen, her heart wasn’t in the work, completely unsettled and in disarray.

She took a deep breath, turned off the computer, and started to pack up for the day.

When she got back to the Mu Family’s house, Mu Zixuan had not returned, possibly out on a date with Pei Mojing, especially since in the next couple of days, Pei Mojing would be leaving C City to film a new movie.

"Miss... Dinner is ready..." the servant promptly approached upon her return.

She nodded with a smile and walked towards the dining room.

During meals, Mu Zixuan would usually be there, and with their chatting and laughing, she didn’t feel lonely.

But sitting alone at the large dining table tonight, the food tasted unbearably bland.

After a few bites, she put down her chopsticks and headed upstairs.

Not going to Mu Zisu’s room, she returned to her own bedroom and took out the letter from her purse.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally opened it...

What she saw made her pupils dilate in shock—

Her dad had written an entire full page.

Without reading the contents, her heart had already turned cold.

Carefully, she moved her gaze to the beginning of the letter. The more she read, the more shocked she became, her fingers trembling lightly as they held the paper...

The thin letter fluttered from her hands...

There was a soft sound as it fell onto the fluffy carpet—

Her eyes were dazed, her body as stiff as if frozen, maintaining the posture of reading the letter...

After a while, she shook her head in disbelief, murmuring to herself, "Impossible... This can’t be possible..."

Suddenly, she bent down, picking up the letter in a panic, her eyes fixated on the words. In the end, she flung the letter into the air with a low roar, "I don’t believe it!"

"I don’t believe..." Her body seemed to lose all support as she slid down to the floor beside the bed.

The next day, Mu Zixuan dolled herself up and left the bedroom humming a tune. When she reached the living room, she was suddenly startled to see Xiaoxiao sitting somberly on the couch as if lost in thought...

She curled her lips into a smile, lightened her steps, walked over and then suddenly patted Xiaoxiao’s shoulder, "Thinking about Yaoyao again, huh!"

Xiaoxiao snapped back to reality, her heart still racing from the fright.

Mu Zixuan giggled behind her hand, "See, I scared you, didn’t I..."

But Xiaoxiao couldn’t muster a smile, her brows furrowed and her expression somber as she looked at Mu Zixuan, "Shanshan... I have to go back..."
