Chapter 591: Chapter 589 He Absolutely Refuses to Accept His Fate_1

Loving each other and managing to be together is truly not easy; he had genuinely come to understand that saying.

Now, seeing Xiaoxiao was difficult for him, let alone being together.

Yet the two of them, who could have gotten along well, just preferred to create drama.

The moment Mu Zixuan heard Mu Zisu’s words, she immediately rose from the sofa, "I have something to take care of, I’m heading back to my room..." With that, she walked towards the bedroom.

Pei Mojing watched Mu Zixuan’s retreating figure, wanting to say something but holding back. Mu Zisu raised an eyebrow at Pei Mojing beside her.

"What did you do to upset her?" Mu Zisu asked. Shanshan was not one to dwell on problems obsessively. If Pei Mojing hadn’t really irritated her, she wouldn’t have shown such an attitude.

Pei Mojing let out a helpless sigh and began to explain the reason to Mu Zisu.

After hearing Pei Mojing’s words filled with self-reproach and helplessness, Mu Zisu immediately furrowed her brows. No wonder Shanshan was so angry, that’s what happened.

"Find an opportunity to properly apologize to her..."

Upon hearing Mu Zisu’s suggestion, Pei Mojing responded with a helpless wry smile. He had been looking for an opportunity, but she had hardened her heart and wouldn’t listen to a word he said.

Nonetheless, he nodded and gave a soft hum in response to Mu Zisu’s advice.

This day was Mu Ziqing’s birthday, and at her request, there was no grand celebration; only close ones attended.

Unsurprisingly, those who should have come didn’t miss out.

Everyone was well aware of the issue between Mu Zisu and Xiaoxiao, so they avoided any sensitive topics that might sadden Mu Zisu.

"Shanshan... How are things with your celebrity? When do you plan to register for marriage?" Yan Yirou teased Mu Zixuan, who was on the other side, as a group of men joked around.

Mu Zixuan hummed inwardly but kept a straight face, "It’s still early, Aunt Yirou..."

"Oh... Feeling shy now?" Yan Yirou continued to tease, then called over to Su Wanxia and the rest, "Our Shanshan has finally learned what it means to be shy..."

Su Wanxia shook her head with a smile, "Yirou, do you act like an aunt?" She was all grown up, yet still making fun of the younger ones.

Yan Yirou laughed heartily, "Just kidding, just kidding..."

"Xiaolan... When is your family’s daughter planning to come back from the United States?" Gong Yining asked Kang Xiaolan with a smile.

Kang Xiaolan put down her teacup and snorted, "Her? She probably won’t return for the next two years. That girl has become addicted to living abroad..."

The others suddenly covered their mouths, chuckling lightly, "You never know, she might bring you an American son-in-law when she comes back..."

Kang Xiaolan suddenly fell silent and rubbed her forehead, "I can’t handle that..."

"Haha..."

Having finally gathered together, everyone stayed until after nine in the evening. Seeing it was getting late, they left one by one.

Just as Mu Ziqing returned to her room, her phone buzzed. She picked it up slowly, and with a casual glance, her eyes widened in astonishment.

An unfamiliar phone number but a familiar tone, ending with two words: Huo En.

Looking at the content on her phone, she was skeptical: to the outside of the Mu family’s front gate?

Could it be that he was right now, at her front door? Impossible, right?

Though half-believing, half-doubting, curiosity still won over, and after struggling for a while, she tiptoed out cautiously.

A stream of warm summer wind blew her way, making her feel restless all over.

Muttering a complaint, she then headed towards the front gate.

The gate was silent, and under the dim streetlight, it was empty—just flowers and trees. What was there?

She smirked, knowing someone was playing a trick on her, making her believe he had come all the way to C City.

Just as she turned around, a black car parked silently behind her.

Hearing the sound, she couldn’t help but turn back, but as soon as she did, she was yanked into the car by an overpowering force.

--

Mu Zisu returned to his room and looked at the familiar, empty space, the feelings of loneliness and desolation once again welled up in his heart.

He felt as if his heart were empty, as though it was missing something.

Approaching the bed, he opened the drawer and took out the birthday gift that Xiaoxiao had given him, his gaze softening involuntarily.

Are you happy every day?

He wanted to be happy every day too, but he just couldn’t make it happen.

No matter what, he just couldn’t let her go.

What should he do?

Was this how he and she were meant to spend the rest of their lives, separated by distance?

He didn’t want that.

After carefully placing the item back, his fingers reached for a delicate black brocade box lying beside in the drawer.

Picking it up, he gently opened it, and a beautiful diamond ring suddenly caught his eye.

That night, he was supposed to propose to her, but the words "Marry me" never made it out of his mouth.

If he could, he definitely wouldn’t have planned to propose to her at night; if possible, he would have proposed to her that very morning.

The more he thought about it, the more uncontrollable his longing became.

The lid of the brocade box snapped shut, and he clutched it tightly in his hand, the veins on the back of his hand clearly visible.

Was this his fate?

No... he refused to accept his fate!

The disappearance of Mu Ziqing didn’t cause much of a stir, because an hour later, the car returned her unharmed, but with her hands full of many things.

The high-end packaging alone indicated that each item was of considerable value.

Mu Ziqing looked down at the heap of things in her arms, furrowing her brows in annoyance, why send her so many heavy stones!

If anyone else knew what she was thinking at that moment, they would be speechless with disbelief: Miss, are those stones? Those are a rare and exquisite set of diamond jewelry, worth a fortune...

As soon as Mu Zisu returned, Mu Yingchen began to pull rank, saying that now he was in charge of the Mu Family, and since he was back, he needed to take on the responsibilities of a head of the family.

But, for the first time, Mu Zisu retorted with, "I’m very busy lately, I have no time..." then he really turned and walked away, and didn’t come back for many days.

July 15th, a day of utmost importance to the people of the Gumiao Tribe, and this year’s date was even more significant.

The current Great Wizard was to pass his position onto his most accomplished disciple, and the one to ascend to that position must be kind-hearted and have dedicated their life to guarding the Gumiao Tribe without regret.

Most importantly, they had to have undergone the succession, only then could it be proven that she had the ability to protect the entire Gumiao Tribe.

And Xiaoxiao, she was the prime candidate for succession.

Ancient and solemn music played, the scene was large and spectacular, below the platform stood all the members of the Gumiao Tribe, and above on the majestic hundred-step pavilion was the bizarrely dressed Yue Shu, her expression serious, carrying a tray with a smooth jade-colored chalice on it.

Xiaoxiao, dressed in the same bizarre white robe as Yue Shu, moved up the hundred-step pavilion, her steps slow and measured with the music.

The ceremony was solemn, the atmosphere was peaceful, but just as Xiaoxiao was halfway up, about to ascend the stone pavilion, a giant object suddenly swooped down from the sky—before anyone could cry out, the Great Wizard heir, only half a step away, vanished before everyone’s eyes...
