Chapter 570: Chapter 568 You Are Always the One Who Understands Me the Most_1

After Mu Zixuan had been receiving roses for half a month, one day, the sender of the flowers finally appeared...

Still in his scholarly white attire, he held a large bouquet of red roses, which stood in stark contrast to his clothes.

His handsome face was exactly as she remembered it, with hardly any change. The slanted eyebrows flying into his temples, the narrow and captivating phoenix eyes, the high and straight bridge of his nose, plump rosy lips—all just the same...

Pei Mojing resisted the impulse to step forward and enfold her in his arms. Instead, he stood still, gazing quietly at her, a trace of heartache crossing his eyes...

She had lost weight. When he saw her at the airport the day she returned, he felt that she had grown thinner...

He walked towards her slowly, and in a soft voice, he said, "Shanshan... welcome back..." Having said that, he offered the bouquet of roses he had been holding to her.

When Mu Zixuan heard his words, a surge of anger rose inside her. Welcome back... welcome back, my foot!

Since her departure to England, he hadn’t called her once, hadn’t sent a single message; even when she returned, there was no sign of him!

And he claimed he often visited her grandparents and parents at the Mu family home—she thought it was all for show!

With this thought, she let out a soft snort and stepped aside, preparing to walk past him...

Pei Mojing hooked up a smile, and as she walked by him, he suddenly extended his arm, pulling her tightly into his embrace—the force made it hard for her to breathe...

Mu Zixuan flushed red, and just as she tried to struggle free, Pei Mojing’s voice suddenly rang in her ear. "Shanshan, I’ve missed you, missed you so much. You were gone for a total of four hundred and fifty-nine days and nights. I missed you every single day and night, thinking about you during the daytime, dreaming about you at night. I felt like I was going crazy..."

Mu Zixuan’s struggling body suddenly froze—

"I wanted to bring you back, but every time I reached the airport, I couldn’t muster the courage to board the plane. I did travel to England twice, just to stealthily catch a glimpse of you, then dragged my sorry self back here... Without you, I nearly forgot what happiness even felt like. Shanshan... please don’t leave me again, okay?"

Pei Mojing’s agonized and conflicted words made Mu Zixuan’s heart violently tremble...

He visited England to see her twice?

How had she not noticed?!

If he’d gone to see her, why hadn’t he revealed himself?

Angry, she pushed him away and then, with teary eyes, looked at the bewildered Pei Mojing.

"Not bad for a movie star—using your lines on me? But I’m not buying what you’re selling..." Mu Zixuan said and then turned her face, taking a step forward.

Pei Mojing’s heart shattered at her words, no longer able to restrain the throbbing in his heart, he pulled her close and could not help but lower his head to seal her cherry lips...

Mu Zixuan’s eyes widened in shock as she looked at his handsome face close at hand and his distinctly thick lashes; her heartbeat skipped a beat...

Pei Mojing’s kiss was urgent yet gentle, his long eyelashes trembling, which made Mu Zixuan’s heart flutter...

Feeling the burning warmth from their lips, she suddenly came to her senses and spitefully bit down hard on the lips of the man taking advantage of her!

Pei Mojing winced in pain, pausing momentarily, but did not let her go, kissing her even more tenderly...

Mu Zixuan, out of breath with frustration, pushed him away forcefully, her embarrassment turning to anger: "Bastard! Taking advantage of me!"

Pei Mojing chuckled, pressing the flowers he had been holding into her arms, and then teasingly said, "Otherwise, let me allow you to take advantage too..."

Mu Zixuan’s face flushed even redder—this man’s shamelessness was growing by the day...

She huffed lightly, accepting the flowers Pei Mojing had thrust into her arms, and said coolly: "Don’t think a few flowers will buy me over. I’m not falling for it..."

Seeing such an adorable Mu Zixuan, Pei Mojing felt an immense joy welling up inside him.

"Then I’ll keep sending them until you do fall for it..."

Mu Zixuan pouted, "Can’t be bothered with you..." She then turned to walk towards the parking lot.

"I’ll take you..." Pei Mojing pulled her toward his own parking spot.

"I don’t need your ride, I can go back by myself..." Mu Zixuan struggled.

"Starting from today, I’m your personal driver..." Pei Mojing declared dominantly.

Mu Zixuan rolled her eyes helplessly. Could she say no?

Before she could voice her reluctance, Pei Mojing had already pulled her to his car, opened the door, shoved her in, fastened her seatbelt, and said with a beaming smile, "Be good..."

Mu Zixuan’s mouth twitched involuntarily. Did he think she was a three-year-old child, to be told to ’be good’...

The car started, slowly driving off--

All along the way, Pei Mojing chattered nonstop to Mu Zixuan about the amusing events from the past year and three months: How Neil still didn’t have a girlfriend, how Le Xiaofeng broke up with another one of his partners and started a new relationship, how Xu Junxian was finally caught by some film industry goddess, and so on...

Mu Zixuan remained silent throughout, but as they were about to arrive at the Mu Family’s mansion, she suddenly asked, "How... how is your father...?"

Pei Mojing’s expression froze for a moment, then after a while, he managed a bitter smile, "Not much time left, at most four months..."

Mu Zixuan knew that though he acted as if he didn’t care, he was actually very sad inside.

"You... try not to be too sad..."

A hint of dishevelment suddenly flashed through Pei Mojing’s eyes. Sad...

So, she did understand him...

So, she could see that he was in pain...

Yes, when three months ago he learned his father had reached the advanced stages of gastric cancer, his heart had felt an unparalleled sorrow...

What was the reason after all?

Her mother had passed away from illness, and now his father was also suffering from the same?

Although their relationship wasn’t good, at any time, they were still an inseparable father-son duo.

Once he was gone, he’d only have his eighty-year-old grandfather left...

That’s why, looking at his father’s emaciated body on the hospital bed, he couldn’t control his grief and heartbreak...

"Shanshan... you will forever be the person who understands me the most..."

Mu Zixuan’s eyes flickered, but she remained silent...

The car drove straight into the main building of the Mu Family’s estate. The butler, seeing it was he who brought Mu Zixuan back, couldn’t help but smile and extend an invitation, "Young Master Pei... stay for dinner tonight..."

Pei Mojing responded with a polite smile, subtly declining, "Thank you... I have to make a trip to the hospital, so I won’t stay..."

The butler then nodded in understanding with a smile.

Mu Zixuan watched as Pei Mojing’s car disappeared into the night, and for some reason, her heart suddenly felt empty...

It turned out, she didn’t want him to leave...
