Chapter 598: Chapter 596: A Lone Man and a Widow Share a Room_1

At this moment, Mu Ziqing just wanted to find a hole to crawl into. She started making excuses, "No, sister..."

With a snort, Mu Zixuan picked up the card in her hand, "Then what’s this? The evidence is conclusive, yet you still won’t admit it? Tell me quickly, what’s this man’s first and last name, where is he from, how old is he, and what does he do?"

Faced with Mu Zixuan’s rapid-fire questions, Mu Ziqing was at a loss for words.

"Sister... I really don’t have that... a boyfriend, he’s just a pursuer..." Mu Ziqing stammered.

Mu Zixuan didn’t believe her and picked up several cards of the same color and started reading them.

"You mustn’t... not think of me..."

"You mustn’t... not answer my calls..."

"You mustn’t..."

"You mustn’t..."

Unable to hold back, Mu Zixuan questioned Mu Ziqing again, "Qiqi... are you sure he’s just a pursuer?"

Mu Ziqing, without a second thought, nodded earnestly.

"A pursuer who’s this bossy is a no-go. Rejected!" Mu Zixuan tossed the cards onto the bed.

After tossing them, she instantly picked them up again and, looking at the bold and commanding signature at the bottom right, murmured, "Huo En?"

"Who is he?"

Facing Mu Zixuan’s questioning, Mu Ziqing was on the verge of tears. Please, she really didn’t know who he was...

So, for now, she had just listed him as one of her pursuers.

"I don’t know..." Mu Ziqing shook her head.

Seeing Mu Ziqing’s genuine expression, Mu Zixuan raised an eyebrow in puzzlement, "You don’t know?"

"Yeah..." Mu Ziqing nodded.

"Then why would he send you so many gifts..." It was evident that the cards were meant to be attached to gift boxes.

"That’s why I said he’s a pursuer..." Mu Ziqing pouted her lips.

Hearing Mu Ziqing say this, Mu Zixuan finally nodded in understanding, "So, you must’ve met him, right?"

Mu Ziqing’s face turned unnatural again, and after a pause, she nodded faintly, "Yeah."

"Oh? So, what do you think of him? How many points would you give him?" Mu Zixuan grew curious.

Mu Ziqing blushed, "I really don’t know..."

She had only met him a few times; she didn’t know what kind of person he was, so she certainly didn’t know how many points to give him.

Mu Zixuan sighed, resigned, "All right..." It seemed like it was just a domineering man pursuing her Qiqi.

"Next time you see him, remember to tell me, so I can vet him for you..." Mu Zixuan spoke earnestly, looking every bit the protective sister.

Mu Ziqing laughed dryly, but still nodded gently, "Okay."

Only then did Mu Zixuan remember the real reason she came to see her, "Qiqi... Do you have anything important to do tomorrow?"

"What’s up?" Mu Ziqing looked at her, puzzled.

"Yaoyao just called and said that we should go to Bali Island together..."

"Ah?" Mu Ziqing suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"What’s wrong? Keep it down, don’t let mom and dad hear..."

Mu Zixuan nearly went over to cover her mouth.

"Tomorrow?" Mu Ziqing’s face fell.

"Yeah..." Mu Zixuan nodded, suddenly getting a bad feeling.

"I can’t tomorrow... I have an art exhibition I need to attend... and one of my paintings is also on display..." Mu Ziqing said pitifully.

Mu Zixuan’s brows furrowed; what unfortunate timing.

"How about we go first, and you can join us later?"

Mu Ziqing continued to shake her head, "The art exhibition will require at least two days..."

So, whether or not they could go within two days was still an issue.

Mu Zixuan sighed, "Alas, then you might as well not go this time, and wait for us to come back together..."

After pondering for a while, Mu Ziqing reluctantly nodded in agreement; the timing was indeed too coincidental.

--

Mu Zisu was about to head to the bathroom when Na Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke up, "Um, is there only one room?"

He couldn’t possibly want her to share a room and a bed with him, could he?

Mu Zisu’s lips curled into a smile, "It’s the peak travel season now, there aren’t so many vacancies..."

Na Xiaoxiao’s lips twitched at once, no vacancies?

Did that mean the two of them had to share the same room?

"This is... not quite appropriate..." she said uncomfortably, looking at Mu Zisu.

A single man and a single woman sharing a room, how could that be appropriate!

Mu Zisu raised an eyebrow, "What’s inappropriate about it? Neither of us is married, and we are in a normal romantic relationship, so why can’t we share the same room?"

Na Xiaoxiao was momentarily dumbfounded by Mu Zisu’s logic, and it took her a long time to recover her senses, but by the time she did, Mu Zisu had already casually entered the bathroom.

She felt like crying but had no tears—

Mu Zisu didn’t stay in for long, in less than ten minutes, he stepped out wrapped in a bath towel.

Na Xiaoxiao’s face flushed red immediately, and she quickly scooted to the other side of the bed, grabbing a pillow to cover her face.

"You... why are you coming out without any clothes on?" She felt the urge to nosebleed.

Mu Zisu looked at her embarrassed expression and his own mood became even more delighted.

"I’ll get dressed right now..."

"Huh?" Na Xiaoxiao was somewhat confused, and suddenly removed the pillow from her face.

But as soon as she did, she saw everything she should and shouldn’t have seen.

She let out a startled cry and quickly covered her face even more tightly with the pillow.

Mu Zisu put on his robe and approached her with a light smile, "What’s wrong?" his tone teasing.

Na Xiaoxiao wished she could throw the pillow in her face at him, but if she did that, she would have nothing to shield her own face.

"You... you’re being indecent!" Na Xiaoxiao accused, her voice muffled as she kept the pillow pressed against her face.

Mu Zisu’s brow furrowed, "You’ll suffocate like that, be good... give me the pillow..."

Na Xiaoxiao wouldn’t listen to him, and instead of letting go, she clutched the pillow even tighter.

Mu Zisu’s frown deepened, he reached out, and with a slight effort, yanked the pillow away and tossed it aside.

Na Xiaoxiao’s face, now flushed enough to bleed, was instantly exposed.

Caught off guard by his sudden move, Na Xiaoxiao grabbed the brocade blanket intending to dive under it.

However, Mu Zisu reached out and picked her up from the bed, "Sweetheart, it’s your turn to take a shower..."

Na Xiaoxiao panicked, wriggled out of his embrace and jumped down, "I can do it myself..." Watching Na Xiaoxiao flee like a refugee, Mu Zisu could only helplessly laugh to himself, realizing that a joint bath was out of the question for now.

The next day—

Pei Mojing came to the Mu Family to pick up Mu Zixuan. Seeing Mu Zixuan didn’t refuse and the two seemed like a couple reunited after a long separation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, glad they finally made up.

Mu Zixuan didn’t tell Mu Yingchen and Su Wanxia that they were going to Bali Island, instead she picked up her luggage and casually said, "I’m going on a business trip out of town," leaving everyone behind.

With Pei Mojing taking care of her, Su Wanxia and the others weren’t worried. They smiled as they watched the car fade from sight.

Once on the plane, Pei Mojing immediately extended his arm and naturally draped it over Mu Zixuan’s shoulder.

Mu Zixuan gave him a sidelong glance, and Pei Mojing leaned in close to whisper in her ear, planting a kiss on her glistening earlobe, "Baby... I’ve missed you..."
