Mr. Mu Proposed Again Today

"Ah?" Xiaoxiao was waiting for his next words when unexpectedly, he dropped that line and left.

"What exactly is up with him?" Mu Tianyi asked Neil and Xu Junxian as they were close brothers; surely they must know something.

Neil and Xu Junxian suddenly forced a dry laugh, looking so foolish that if their fans saw them now, they would be in utter disbelief. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"He’s just troubled by love..." Unable to bear the scrutiny of everyone’s gaze, Neil had to speak up.

"He’s troubled by love? As far as I know, he changes girlfriends as often as he changes clothes, right?" Mu Ziqing was skeptical.

Neil put his hand to his forehead and chuckled. He hoped Le Xiaofeng wouldn’t kill him for this, "This time it’s a boyfriend..."

"Pff!" Ji Yunqing, who was drinking water beside them, couldn’t hold it in and sprayed it out.

"Oh my god!" Mu Tianyi, sitting opposite him, nearly caught the spray but luckily dashed away in time.

Mu Ziqing was stunned, while Mu Shiming managed a calm demeanor, perhaps having already guessed a bit of the truth.

It only dawned on Mu Tianyi what Neil had said after he took cover, and he suddenly cried out, "What did you say? He has a boyfriend?"

His shout was so loud that even Le Xiaofeng, who was in the kitchen, heard it, and his face froze.

Not just him; Pei Mojing and Mu Zixuan heard it as well...

Pei Mojing stayed relatively calm, but Mu Zixuan was so shocked she nearly dropped her plate!

"You... You got a boyfriend?" Her tone was dubious, uncertain.

Le Xiaofeng’s mouth twitched sharply as he retorted, "I don’t have a boyfriend!!"

"Then what were they talking about? It’s not about you?" Mu Zixuan probed him.

Le Xiaofeng chalked this up to Neil’s account. Was this how a good brother acted?

"Don’t listen to their nonsense; my sexual orientation is very clear!" Le Xiaofeng gritted his teeth.

But when he thought of the unfortunate event one night, he felt a pain in his liver.

"There’s no smoke without fire... I tend to believe what they said..." Mu Zixuan pursed her lips.

Le Xiaofeng’s mouth twitched again, inwardly praying for a lightning bolt to strike him and cause amnesia...

Fueled by curiosity, Mu Zixuan didn’t get her answer from Le Xiaofeng and turned to ask Pei Mojing beside her, "Is what they said true?"

Pei Mojing was about to speak when he noticed Le Xiaofeng staring him down with a murderous gaze.

He gave Mu Zixuan a gentle smile, "I think you might want to ask Zisu’s special assistant..."

Feeling unwelcome, Le Xiaofeng decided it was best to find a room to cool off in...

Mu Zixuan stared open-mouthed at Le Xiaofeng’s retreating figure...

After a while, she muttered, "You mean that Zuo Yi?"

"It must be him..." Pei Mojing tried not to laugh.

"Holy mackerel!" Mu Zixuan was shocked!

Once the shock passed, she couldn’t help bursting into laughter, and Pei Mojing looked at her quizzically.

She patted her chest and caught her breath, "Instant karma... serves him right for being such a philanderer..." Zuo Yi was not someone to mess with; according to Yaoyao, he’s one of the big shots of the Qinglong Association. If he did manage to get Le Xiaofeng, that would be a good deed indeed...

She couldn’t help but revel in a bit of schadenfreude.

The sumptuously prepared table full of dishes were all made by Pei Mojing’s hand, of course, with Mu Zixuan constantly helping him out.

Everyone marveled, never having expected this superstar Pei to possess such a secret skill; it was quite impressive, indeed.

"Shanshan... You’re going to be so lucky with food from now on..."

Mu Zixuan served the last dish, "If he can cook for me until I’m 50, I’d be completely content..."

"Wow... that’s still 20 years to go, right?" Le Xiaofeng is always talkative, and now that no one was pressing him on his affairs, he immediately livened up the conversation again.

"Twenty years then," Pei Mojing said with a face of indifference.

Mu Zixuan suddenly laughed out loud—

During the meal, Pei Mojing and Mu Zisu were the busiest.

Pei Mojing was busy serving Mu Zixuan, while Mu Zisu was serving Na Xiaoxiao and Mu Ziqing.

At the table, their chopsticks were the ones moving the most frequently.

"Sigh... It looks like I need to find myself a girlfriend too..." Mu Tianyi lamented. Seeing their displays of affection made him feel an urge to start dating.

"I think so too... You should hurry up and find one..." Ji Yunqing nodded in agreement, with an expression that said it was only right.

"Why don’t you find one?" Mu Tianyi was puzzled.

"How do you know I haven’t found one?" Ji Yunqing replied, causing everyone suddenly to look at him understandingly.

"Come on! When did you get a girlfriend and not tell me?" Mu Tianyi panicked. They were both the same age, and while he had found his first love, Ji Yunqing’s was still nowhere in sight. How embarrassing to admit.

Ji Yunqing, seeing everyone’s expressions, couldn’t help but chuckle: "Don’t get me wrong, I haven’t found her yet..."

"......"

"When Mojing and Shanshan get engaged, there will definitely be a bunch of beauties around, so you guys will have to pick carefully..." Neil chimed in at just the right moment.

"Seems like you don’t have one either, right?" Mu Tianyi and Ji Yunqing said in unison.

Neil remained unfazed, "I’m part of the non-marriage group..."

"......"

"You mean you’re not going to marry?" Na Xiaoxiao suddenly asked.

Neil nodded, "That’s right, not marrying..."

Na Xiaoxiao looked enlightened, then counter-questioned, "Why not marry?" In their culture, only great Wizards remained celibate for life, with men not marrying and women not taking husbands.

So why wasn’t he planning on marrying?

"Xiaoxiao... Don’t listen to his nonsense. ’Not getting married,’ once he meets someone he likes, he’ll marry faster than anyone..." Mu Zixuan quipped with a curl of her lip.

"What Shanshan said is right, it’s exactly like that!" Mu Tianyi banged on the table in agreement.

At the table, Mu Zisu and Mu Shiming were the quietest, Pei Mojing would occasionally interject, but the rest of the group was chatting up a storm.

Xiaoxiao was curious about everything, listening intently to their discussions and asking questions when she didn’t understand something.

Mu Zisu was quietly looking after her, a paragon of thoughtfulness.

Before they knew it, it was time to wrap up. Pei Mojing actually didn’t want Mu Zixuan to go back, but since they weren’t officially married, he couldn’t keep her at his place all the time.

After everyone left, Le Xiaofeng showed no intention of leaving.

Pei Mojing raised an eyebrow at him, "What’s up?"

Le Xiaofeng chuckled, "Don’t be so stingy, I just want to crash in your guest room for the night..."

"Still getting blocked by people every day?" Pei Mojing laughed.

Le Xiaofeng’s mouth twitched at that; it wasn’t every day he was getting blocked, was it?

"Good luck with that..." Pei Mojing patted his shoulder.

"......"
