Chapter 611 - 609: Fighting to the End with My Father-in-Law_1

Chapter 611: Chapter 609: Fighting to the End with My Father-in-Law_1

The plane slowly left the ground, and as she thought about the upcoming trip to C City, Na Xiaoxiao started to feel a bit nervous inside.

After all, the only people she knew there were Qiqi, Auntie Xia, Uncle Achen, everyone else was a stranger to her.

It was dusk by the time they returned to the Mu Family household, Pei Mojing didn’t go back to his own place, but followed the three of them straight to the Mu residence.

When the servants of the Mu Family saw Na Xiaoxiao, their eyes bulged in shock, at first thinking they were seeing things.

But as they watched her conversing while walking alongside their young master and miss, they were forced to accept this shocking reality.

What exactly was going on?

Hadn’t they said she was gone for good?

Their own young master seemed to go crazy searching everywhere for her, so why was she now standing alive and well right before their eyes?

It’s like seeing a ghost, seeing a ghost...

Na Xiaoxiao, faced with the astonished and questioning glances around her, once again felt the mysteries piling up in her heart. Why were they looking at her with such eyes? Could it be that she had been here before? Did they all know her?

The thought scared her a little...

Suppressing the heavy doubts in her heart, she continued to follow Mu Zisu and Mu Zixuan toward the main building.

The butler stood in front of the main building’s door. Seeing Na Xiaoxiao, he didn’t seem too shocked, since he had already been astonished before.

Once inside, the four people immediately stood still at the door, not taking another step forward.

Mu Yingchen, Su Wanxia, Mother Mu, and Qiqi were all sitting in the living room. Seeing them wasn’t surprising, but there was someone else that made all their hearts skip a beat—it was Na Ersi, dressed in plain clothes.

Mu Zisu hadn’t expected him to show up here so soon.

Na Xiaoxiao, like a child who had done something wrong, slightly bowed her head and then tried to withdraw her hand from Mu Zisu’s palm.

But as soon as she moved, Mu Zisu seemed to sense her intentions and gripped her hand even tighter.

Seeing his action, no one spoke, but they couldn’t help sighing internally.

With a resolute expression, Mu Zisu pulled Na Xiaoxiao with him to face everyone. His gaze swept over Mu Yingchen and the others before finally resting on the impassive Na Ersi.

"I want to be with Xiaoxiao..."

As soon as he uttered those words, the room seemed to become even quieter. Despite many people standing or sitting around, an eerie silence prevailed.

Na Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at his firm profile, feeling waves of bitterness rising in her heart.

With Na Ersi here, neither Mu Yingchen nor Su Wanxia knew how to advise them.

"I came... to take her back..." Na Ersi didn’t look at Na Xiaoxiao beside him. Instead, he stared determinedly at Mu Zisu.

"I disagree..." It seemed as if Mu Zisu had made up his mind to confront his would-be father-in-law to the very end.

"Yaoyao..." Mu Yingchen called out with a slight frown, sounding helpless.

The atmosphere suddenly tensed up. Mu Zisu had made his stance clear, and against someone as persistent as he was, Na Ersi could do nothing but sigh helplessly.

"Dad... I want to go back after some time..." Na Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke up.

Her words instantly made Na Ersi frown, while Mu Zisu finally felt a sliver of comfort deep down—at least she was willing to stay for now.

Though it wasn’t forever...

"Do you know what you’re saying?" Concern was evident in Na Ersi’s eyes.

"I know..." Na Xiaoxiao lowered her eyelids.

"Uncle Ersi... I’m about to get engaged. I wanted Xiaoxiao to stay for my engagement banquet... Please let her stay here a little longer..." Mu Zixuan suddenly stepped forward, smiling warmly at Na Ersi.

Upon hearing her words, everyone was taken aback, including Na Ersi.

"Sis... Are you really getting engaged?" Mu Ziqing asked in surprise, having been silent all this while.

Mu Zixuan smiled and extended her right hand, "Well..."

Everyone looked at the exquisite diamond ring on her finger and couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief.

The Mu Family, at last, had a joyous occasion.

Na Ersi glanced at Mu Zixuan, then at Pei Mojing, who stepped forward.

Although he couldn’t fully believe the reason Mu Zixuan gave, with things having gone this far, it wouldn’t be good for him to refuse.

After all, the engagement was real, and as Xiaoxiao’s good friend from childhood, it was only right for him to attend her wedding.

"Alright then..." Na Ersi conceded.

Seeing him nod, everyone felt a surge of happiness.

"Then I’ll head back first, and when the time comes, be sure to send Xiaoxiao back..." This time, Na Ersi’s gaze was on Mu Yingchen and Su Wanxia.

The implication was clear, once Shanshan’s engagement was settled, it would be up to these two elders to complete the task.

Su Wanxia laughed dryly, "Hehe... Na Ersi..."

Na Ersi, however, continued, "Let’s settle it this way..."

Mu Yingchen shook his head with a wry smile, was he trying to make Yaoyao resent them for a lifetime? Sending Xiaoxiao back was really a tough task.

Just when the tense atmosphere had finally been broken, they couldn’t continue to be stiff, so Su Wanxia abruptly smiled again, "In that case... let’s agree to that for now..."

"Hmm..." Na Ersi nodded.

But Mu Zisu was unwilling to accept such an outcome, he couldn’t stand watching her walk away from him again.

"I disagree..." The same four words.

The atmosphere that had just thawed once again turned tense.

Besides Na Xiaoxiao, Mu Zisu, and Na Ersi, the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Yaoyao... let’s talk..." Na Ersi was helpless.

Mu Zisu didn’t hesitate, "Okay..."

Witnessing the standoff between Mu Zisu and his future father-in-law, Pei Mojing was floored by admiration, sighing without end.

"There’s no need to talk..." Na Xiaoxiao spoke up.

Mu Zisu and Na Ersi simultaneously turned to look at her.

"After attending Shanshan’s engagement banquet, I know what to do..."

Mu Zixuan’s heart skipped a beat. She had only said that to delay her stay here; she couldn’t really be taking it seriously, could she?

A trace of desolation crossed Mu Zisu’s eyes. Did she really have to leave?

Na Ersi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that for now, things weren’t progressing in a bad direction.

"Good... Dad trusts that you know what to do..."

"Hmm..." Na Xiaoxiao nodded.

Once again, the stiff atmosphere dissolved, and Na Ersi didn’t linger. As he said he would, he left.

However, before he left, Na Xiaoxiao quietly asked him a question, a secret between just the two of them, unknown to anyone else.

But Na Xiaoxiao was so stunned by Na Ersi’s answer that she stood still for a long while, head lowered, lost in thought.

"What are you thinking about?" Mu Zisu’s voice suddenly sounded by her ear, snapping Na Xiaoxiao back to reality. Raising her head, she smiled and said, "I’m wondering when Shanshan will get engaged..."
