Chapter 633: Chapter 631: I Can Tell You’ve Sold Vinegar_1

It was nearly ten o’clock, and guests at the banquet were leaving one after another. Mu Zisu glanced at his watch, informed Pei Mojing and Mu Zixuan, and then went to find Xiaoxiao.

As he pushed open the door of the private room, the silence inside was deafening, not a single sound to be heard, and his gaze involuntarily fell on the petite figure on the sofa.

Moving closer slowly, he looked at Xiaoxiao with her eyes closed and brows slightly furrowed, and he couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh...

Bending down, he carefully lifted her into his arms. Although his movements were gentle and light, he still managed to startle the sleeping Xiaoxiao awake.

When Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and saw it was Mu Zisu, the grievances in her heart suddenly surged forward, turning her face away, refusing to even glance at him.

She was wrongly accused for no reason and left here alone by him; she didn’t want anything to do with him.

Mu Zisu raised an eyebrow; she was still giving him the silent treatment...

Thinking this, he bent down again, nonchalantly trying to place her back on the sofa. But Xiaoxiao, sensing something amiss, immediately wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, "Mu Zisu! You are a big jerk!"

Xiaoxiao, frustrated, let out all the feelings she had been holding back all night!

Amused by her actions and words, Mu Zisu chuckled, "If I’m such a big jerk, why are you holding me so tightly..." It felt as if she was about to strangle him.

Xiaoxiao, already feeling mistreated, heard his words and began to cry uncontrollably like a child.

Her crying really frightened Mu Zisu; Xiaoxiao had been with him so long, and he rarely saw her cry. This was the first time she had cried out loud like this.

His mind was thrown into chaos, clueless about what to do.

In a fluster, he sat down on the sofa with her in his arms, reaching for a tissue on the table to wipe away her tears.

However, Xiaoxiao’s temper flared. Snatching the tissue from his hand, she cried and spoke with great sorrow, "It’s bad enough you don’t believe me, but you also left me here alone!"

"I’m the one with amnesia! I didn’t even know who Zhuo Shaoqing was!"

"Anyways, Shanshan is already engaged, and I’m going to go back anyway, it doesn’t matter if you believe me!"

Xiaoxiao’s words were fueled by anger, but they cut deep into Mu Zisu’s heart like a knife.

Especially that last sentence, about going back... It was the last thing he wanted to hear from her...

With tears and snot running down her face, Xiaoxiao, out of tissue, began to wipe her nose on Mu Zisu’s sleeve in a fit of pique, ruining his neatly worn suit.

"You say you like me, love me, all lies!" After she finished, she tossed his arm aside.

Her tears continued to flow like a breached dam, and her nose joined in the commotion.

Reaching out, she grabbed the sapphire blue tie from inside Mu Zisu’s clothing and continued using it to wipe her face.

"You brought me here, to a place where I didn’t know anyone, do you think it’s been easy for me..."

For Mu Zisu, who was meticulously clean from a young age, had it been someone else treating him this way, they would have been tossed aside long ago. But at this moment, he could care less about Xiaoxiao’s actions; his heart clenched painfully with each of her words, and he was so concerned for her that he forgot to continue offering her tissues, allowing her to abuse his custom-made, expensive clothes.

By the time he finally came to terms with Xiaoxiao’s ranting, he looked down, momentarily stunned, then let out a laugh mixed with disbelief, shaking his head.

In his life, Mu Zisu realized, he was completely taken by her, Xiaoxiao...

He reached out for a tissue, let out a soft sigh, and said in a gentle voice, "Alright, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have left you here alone..."

As he spoke, he wiped the tears from her face.

"However, I didn’t distrust you; it was just my mind playing tricks on me..."

Xiaoxiao abruptly raised her tear-stained eyes to look at him—

He held her tenderly, "I just don’t want you to be scrutinized by others, I don’t want you appearing in front of anyone else... I’ve been selfish..."

Xiaoxiao sniffled, "Really?"

He wasn’t distrusting her?

"Really..." Mu Zisu reached up again to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes.

"Then why did you abandon me just now?"

"How could I bear to abandon you, I was just playing with you..." Mu Zisu sighed softly in his heart, no matter what, he would never truly leave her behind.

"You’re just a big bully!" Xiaoxiao lamented.

"Yes, I’m a big bully. What about you? Look what you’ve done to my clothes..." Mu Zisu helplessly looked at his own pitiful clothes.

Xiaoxiao became embarrassed; it was his fault for not giving her a tissue earlier. If she had a tissue, she wouldn’t have had to use his clothes in an emergency.

"Go home and wash my clothes... little tiger cat..." Mu Zisu said with a chuckle, pinching her cheek.

Xiaoxiao had put on light makeup tonight, and after crying, the rest of her face might not have been too obvious, but her eyes now made it hard to see other people.

"What about my face..." She was now more worried about her face.

"Don’t move..." Mu Zisu said, and then he picked up a wet wipe to carefully clean her up.

Though it wasn’t perfect, it was much better than before; at least now, she could face people.

"There, all done..." Mu Zisu stood up and looked her over.

Xiaoxiao raised her hand to touch her face, "Can you tell?"

Mu Zisu didn’t hesitate to nod, "Mmm..."

"Then how can you say it’s all done?" Xiaoxiao asked anxiously.

"You can tell that you’ve been jealous..." Mu Zisu said teasingly as he looked at her.

Xiaoxiao felt embarrassed; it was all because of him.

"Alright, let’s go back..." Mu Zisu leaned down and kissed her forehead.

"Is it over?"

"It’s over..."

Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered something she had said in a huff, which seemed to include something about going back.

"That... I said I wanted to go back earlier..." Before she could finish, Mu Zisu interrupted her, "Don’t even think about it without my permission..."

Xiaoxiao looked at Mu Zisu’s somewhat awkward expression and couldn’t help but lean in to look at him, "Actually... you look quite cute like this..."

Mu Zisu’s lips twitched suddenly. Cute?

Aside from when he was a child, the word ’cute’ hardly ever seemed to apply to him.

"Is that so? But I think you’re the cutest..."

Xiaoxiao blushed...

"Cute from head to toe..." Mu Zisu had to admit he was being wicked.

"......"

Hand in hand, the two of them left the private room. Mu Zisu felt his mood had taken a big turn. After Xiaoxiao’s crying and tantrums, he realized there was no need to be upset with her over Zhuo Shaoqing.

After all, she loved him...

And that was enough...
