Chapter 554: Chapter 552 Happy Birthday_1

"What’s the matter? Little Qiqi, are you troubled?" Mu’s mother, seeing Mu Ziqing’s demeanor, couldn’t help but squint and chuckle heartily.

Mu Ziqing, upon hearing her grandmother speak this way, felt her face instantly flush with redness.

She sat up straight, her hands nervously intertwined as she nodded twice and hesitantly said, "Grandma... not at all..."

"Not at all?" Mu’s mother, her smile brimming with amusement, looked at her.

"Not at all..." Mu Ziqing asserted, shaking her head firmly.

"Fine, if you say there’s nothing, then there’s nothing. Focus on your studies for now, there’s plenty of time to talk about boyfriends later..."

Mu Ziqing’s cheeks turned even redder in an instant.

The brilliant lights of the party illuminated the graceful dancers in the center of the beautiful dance floor, gliding elegantly to the rhythm.

Although Na Xiaoxiao didn’t usually dance much, dancing was not unfamiliar to her.

Looking down at the enchanting figure before him, Mu Zisu’s lips curled into a more pronounced smile.

He leaned in gently and whispered, "You’re beautiful..."

At first, Na Xiaoxiao didn’t catch his meaning, so Mu Zisu repeated, "You look gorgeous..."

She then blushed, shyly lowering her head.

"Zisu..." Na Xiaoxiao murmured quietly.

"Hmm?" Mu Zisu raised an eyebrow.

"Happy birthday..."

"Didn’t you already say that this morning?" Mu Zisu laughed softly.

"Morning is morning, and night is night..." Na Xiaoxiao twirled around and nestled against him.

Mu Zisu seized the moment to kiss her on the forehead.

Na Xiaoxiao suddenly blushed and rose up--

"As long as you are by my side, every day is joyful..."

"What if I’m not?" Na Xiaoxiao suddenly let slip such a comment.

Mu Zisu’s lips curled, "You must be..."

Na Xiaoxiao forced a bitter smile and continued dancing with him, at times distant, at times close.

As the music ended, applause came from all around.

The banquet officially started...

This time, Mu Zisu brought Na Xiaoxiao by his side, and no matter how many people flocked around them, he kept her close, never letting her leave.

"Young Master Mu and the lady are quite the match, congratulations, congratulations..."

"Indeed, we might be celebrating their wedding soon..."

"Absolutely, we must drink to that!"

Mu Zisu seemed to be in a good mood; rather than being annoyed by the flattery, he seemed to enjoy it more and more.

Na Xiaoxiao maintained her composure on the surface, but inside she felt as if she were suffocating.

No one knew how she felt when she heard these words.

Despair had completely overwhelmed her, yet she still had to smile as if she were happy, as if she enjoyed their words. This feeling was truly painful.

As the banquet passed the halfway mark, it was already past nine o’clock, and the guests were mostly attended to.

Mu’s mother was getting older and couldn’t keep up with the strain. Although she had been advised to rest at home, she insisted on coming, so Mu Yingchen and Su Wanxia had no choice but to take her home early.

Su Wanxia’s parents initially wanted to come as well, but because the weather was extremely cold and Su Wanxia’s mother had caught a cold a few days ago, Su Wanxia did not let them come and go again. She said she would go back to see them in the next two days. The old couple then settled down.

Clearly, not letting them come was the right decision.

"Yaoyao... Your dad and I will take Grandma back first. We’ll leave everything here to you," Su Wanxia pulled Mu Zisu aside and instructed him.

"Mm, you guys go ahead. Be careful on the road..."

"Mm, you too--"

Mu Yingchen and Su Wanxia took Mu’s mother and left first. Actually, they had another matter to attend to, which was that Na Ersi was already waiting for them at the Mu Family home.

Tonight, he was going to take Na Xiaoxiao away--

After Mu Yingchen and Su Wanxia left, Mu Feng and the others also left one after another. After ten o’clock, the banquet officially ended.

"Let’s go back too..." Mu Zisu said softly to Na Xiaoxiao, who seemed a bit absent-minded.

Na Xiaoxiao came back to her senses with a mhm and finally realized what he was saying.

"Mm..." She tried to pull out a trace of a smile and nodded in response.

"Tired?" Mu Zisu noticed her complexion was not very good and instinctively thought she was tired.

Na Xiaoxiao smiled faintly: "It’s okay, not too tired..."

"Brother, Xiaoxiao, let’s go back..." Not far away, Mu Ziqing, Mu Zixuan and Pei Mojing walked over together.

Mu Zisu glanced at Pei Mojing, who was standing nearby, clearly wondering why he hadn’t left yet...

Mu Zixuan laughed with a hehe: "He’s going to accompany me till twelve o’clock..."

"So..." Mu Zisu replied questioningly.

"So, let’s go back and have another drink together..." Mu Zixuan batted her eyes at Mu Zisu.

Mu Zisu thought for a moment and nodded, "Let’s go..."

Hearing them say this, Na Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes, hiding the emotions at the bottom of her eyes. Her father should already be waiting for her--

At the parking lot, Mu Ziqing voluntarily got into a bodyguard’s car, "You four take one car. I won’t be a third wheel..."

Mu Zixuan covered her mouth to suppress a giggle, This cheeky girl!

Pei Mojing sat in the passenger seat, Mu Zisu leaned against the right car window, Na Xiaoxiao sat in the middle, and Mu Zixuan leaned against the left car window.

The two leading bodyguard cars slowly drove ahead, with the following vehicles keeping pace--

Due to the weather, the streets were sparsely populated around ten o’clock, especially after driving through the suburbs, where there were hardly any people and only the occasional car swept past next to the vehicle.

The interior light was not turned on and it was somewhat dim. Na Xiaoxiao suddenly leaned her head on Mu Zisu’s shoulder, staring at the streetlights whizzing by the window, her gaze unwittingly becoming distant.

If possible, she wished this road had no end, to just keep going like this, then she could continue to lean on his shoulder forever.

Mu Zisu stretched out his arm, pulling her into his embrace, and Na Xiaoxiao’s heart suddenly started to spasm uncontrollably.

She kept her head down, not daring to look up at Mu Zisu’s face. She was afraid he would see something odd about her, afraid she would lose control and break down crying in his arms.

The Mu Family mansion was located at the farthest end of the eastern suburbs. The car slowly made its way toward the Mu Family domain. The road was eerily quiet, and the trees on either side rustled loudly under the cold wind.

Although the howling of the wind could not be heard from inside the car, the sight of the branches thrashing wildly in the night was enough to raise hairs, at least Na Xiaoxiao felt that way. For some reason, seeing such a scene made her heart tighten.

The outline of the Mu Family mansion gradually came into view, and just as the car was about to turn onto the main road to the Mu Family, a car rushing headlong towards them appeared suddenly, its headlights blazing, blinding the inside of the car in a flash!

The two cars in front swerved quickly, barely avoiding a scrape!

The drivers, all with sharp reflexes, realized something was wrong, turned the steering wheel immediately, and hit the brakes hard, with a bang, the tires burst instantly!

"Ambush!" The driver’s voice was harsh, and after spitting out three words, he managed to turn the car around. He successfully avoided the car that was hurtling towards them like death itself!
