Chapter 628: Chapter 626: Good Performance_1

Neil didn’t know how to break the news to him, after all, he didn’t know much himself, "Shaoqing... have something to eat first. We’ve got to go and drink with Ajin later..."

Zhuo Shaoqing was in no mood to eat. He had finally seen Xiaoxiao, only to find she didn’t recognize him, and that feeling was truly unbearable.

He couldn’t stomach food, but alcohol was the best numbing agent for him.

Falling in love with someone who doesn’t love you back is the most painful thing in the world.

Who said that time was the best healer? But why couldn’t he forget her after more than a year had passed?

Xiaoxiao felt nothing unusual since, after arriving here, she often encountered situations like this and had become used to it. However, Mu Zisu was visibly upset after Zhuo Shaoqing showed up.

No matter what, seeing a love rival, especially one who had held Xiaoxiao, was something that just couldn’t sit well with him.

Mu Ziqing’s eyes darted around, clicking her tongue inwardly at the atmosphere. It seemed like her brother’s jealousy had flared up again.

Why on earth was he acting so jealous?

Xiaoxiao didn’t even remember Zhuo Shaoqing, so what’s the big deal...

Neil felt a headache coming on. If these two were going to meet often in the future, how would they handle it?

Were they all supposed to sit around pretending to be mute?

"Ming... Ajin is over there, you just got back, do you want to go over and say hello?" Neil said to Chen Ming on the other side.

Chen Ming was well aware of what Neil meant. He raised an eyebrow, nodding: "Yeah, we should..." With that, he stood up from his seat, "Shaoqing... let’s go together..."

Zhuo Shaoqing didn’t object, and swiftly stood up from his chair. He glanced at Xiaoxiao before heading with Chen Ming toward Pei Mojing and Mu Zixuan’s direction.

Xiaoxiao always felt Zhuo Shaoqing’s gaze on her was a bit odd, as if it was different from others’, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on what exactly.

Watching Xiaoxiao stare at Zhuo Shaoqing’s retreating figure, Mu Zisu felt an unpleasant stir in his heart.

"I want some water..." He watched Xiaoxiao discontentedly.

Xiaoxiao suddenly averted her gaze, "Huh?"

Mu Zisu’s expression darkened, "I want some water..." he said, looking straight at Xiaoxiao.

Xiaoxiao then realized, glancing at his half-full glass with confusion. Why was he suddenly asking her to pour water for him now?

Hadn’t it always been him taking care of her?

Though she thought this, her hands began to move, "Okay, I’ll pour it for you..."

Mu Zisu felt the tightness in his chest ease slightly.

Call him domineering or selfish, but he simply didn’t want her to meet with Zhuo Shaoqing, whether she remembered him or not.

A while later, Su Yanqin finally came back, followed by Daisy, a beautiful woman with deep-set features and long black hair.

Daisy’s mother was of English descent, and reputedly, her mother’s bloodline was even half royal, making her status quite noble.

However, Daisy had been infatuated with Su Yanqin, who was five years her senior, since she was young, and to Su Yanqin, Daisy’s clinginess was like how Mu Zisu felt towards Su Yanruo, just treating her as a little sister.

"Hi~ Qiqi..." Daisy greeted Mu Ziqing first, as Mu Ziqing had spent a considerable amount of time in England and the two had frequently played together, sharing a good relationship.

"Daisy... why so late?" Mu Ziqing waved her over.

Daisy spread her hands helplessly, "The traffic was terrible after landing..."

Mu Ziqing squinted and smiled, "Yeah, traffic is indeed bad around this time..."

Daisy knew Mu Zisu and Su Yanruo and greeted them one by one. She was acquainted with Xiaoxiao as well, but Xiaoxiao had been close to Su Yanqin while in Canada, so Daisy didn’t interact much with her, leaving the two not very familiar with each other.

But after so long without seeing each other, when we met at this sort of occasion, I still needed to say hello.

"Hi~ Xiaoxiao... long time no see..."

Na Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, but then quickly responded with a smile and a nod, "Long time no see..."

The rest of the group immediately looked at her with strange expressions. She shrugged helplessly; when someone she knew greeted her, she had to respond, right?

Mu Zisu could tell from her expression that she didn’t remember Daisy, and was just answering out of politeness.

Daisy didn’t think much of it and naturally sat down next to Su Yanqin. Then she moved her chair closer to his, so the two of them were very close.

Na Xiaoxiao, Neil and Xu Junxian all looked at her and Su Yanqin with suspicion.

Daisy immediately smiled at the three of them and then asked Su Yanqin, "And these two are...?"

"This is Neil, and this is Xu Junxian..." Su Yanqin introduced them nonchalantly.

"Hello~" Daisy greeted them enthusiastically.

"Hello..." Neil and Xu Junxian chorused. It was clear that this girl was very much into Su Yanqin.

"Where’s Shanshan? I haven’t seen what the groom-to-be looks like yet?" Daisy looked around.

"They might have gone over there. My brother-in-law is really handsome..." Mu Ziqing said with a giggle.

"Oh? Really?" Daisy raised her eyebrows.

"Definitely..." Mu Ziqing nodded.

"She’ll definitely come over later..."

"OK"

After Mu Zisu drank half a glass of water, Na Xiaoxiao considerately poured him another.

He raised an eyebrow, in a good mood, stretched out his hand to rest it on the back of her chair, then leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Not bad..."

Na Xiaoxiao’s ears reddened, and she glanced sideways at him. There were so many people around, he could be a bit more mindful.

Seeing the interaction between Mu Zisu and Na Xiaoxiao, Daisy suddenly looked at them both with surprise.

Could it be that the two of them had some kind of secret?

But when did this happen? How did she not know?

So, she asked Su Yanqin, "Su Yanqin... those two..."

Su Yanqin’s barely healed wound was suddenly torn open again, his brows furrowing even more, keeping silent and not responding as if he hadn’t heard her question.

Seeing Su Yanqin like this, Daisy suddenly understood, so that was it...

If that was the case, she had one less major rival, which was great news.

Mu Ziqing suddenly looked at Na Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao... want to go to the restroom?"

Na Xiaoxiao blinked and immediately got up and nodded.

Mu Zisu said, "Shall I join you?"

As soon as he said this, everyone at the table gave them a peculiar look. It was fine to spoil one’s wife, but was there a need to be this indulgent? To accompany her even to the restroom?

This was not some sort of entertainment club; they wouldn’t encounter any lecherous thugs.

"Brother... we’re just going to the restroom..." Mu Ziqing was at a loss for words. Actually, Na Xiaoxiao was even more speechless, but didn’t dare to speak out.
