Chapter 1: Where the Heck Have You Been?
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Dragging a huge suitcase along, Mu Xiaoxiao stood outside a door that was secured with a biometric palm scanner. Without thinking, she put her palm against it, expecting to hear a ¡®beep¡¯ and see the door swing open.
However, the door showed no signs of budging. She was dumbfounded for a moment.
¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± She gave the door a kick, but the door wouldn¡¯t open.
Baffled, she was obliged to press the doorbell. Getting impatient of waiting, she hollered, ¡°Yin Shaojie, hurry up and open the door!¡±
However, even if there was anyone in the house, it was a luxury condominium with good soundproofing, and the person inside couldn¡¯t have possibly heard her shouts.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face scrunched up in annoyance, and she muttered, ¡°Is that bastard not at home?¡±
When she looked at the time, it was already 11pm!
It is already sote, yet he still hasn¡¯te home; he must be fooling around outside.
Hmph, that abominable Yin Shaojie!
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. Having no other alternative, she was forced to call Yin Shaojie¡¯s mother.
Perhaps Mrs. Yin was fast asleep, for the call took a long time to connect.
Once the call got through, Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°Mama Yin, did you register my palm print to the scanner? I couldn¡¯t open the door, and that jerk, Yin Shaojie, isn¡¯t home!¡±
Mrs. Yin said apologetically, ¡°Sorry honey, I forgot to tell you this, but Little Jie didn¡¯t even register my palm print into the scanner for his condo; he said that he wouldn¡¯t register anyone else¡¯s other than his. You¡¯ll have to find your own solution to get in¡ªyou can call him and tell him to go home immediately to open the door for you.¡±
Hearing Mrs. Yin¡¯s voice, Mu Xiaoxiao detected a slight wheeze. Without giving it much thought, she said, ¡°Okay then, goodnight Mama Yin.¡± She then hung up embarrassedly.
She then searched for Yin Shaojie¡¯s number and called him.
Both of them had not seen each other for a long time, and she wondered if he could still recognize her voice.
The phone rang for a while before the call connected.
Immediately, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ringing voice took a bullying tone as she said, ¡°Yin Shaojie! Where the heck have you been? I¡¯m back in the country, and I¡¯m standing outside your condominium; you better hurry home and unlock the door for me!¡±
However, the voice that spoke on the other side of the phone was not Yin Shaojie¡¯s but a strange man¡¯s. ¡°You looking for Shaojie? Call backter; he¡¯s busy with something.¡±
With that said, the strange man hung up.
Mu Xiaoxiao red at her phone for a while, in utter disbelief that she had been hung up on.
For a moment, fire raged in her veins.
Evidently, the man who had picked up the call was Yin Shaojie¡¯s assistant. Was she being bullied even by a mere assistant?
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
On the other side of town, in the booth of a bar.
Yin Shaojie was drinking with someone. Meanwhile, a pretty girl snuggled into his side. Pulling on his hand affectionately, she asked, ¡°Young Master Jie, are you drunk yet?¡±
This time, it was Yin Shaojie who won. His opponent, resigning himself to fate, downed the drink in front of him and proceeded hastily to the restroom to vomit.
Yin Shaojie snorted derisively. He was drunk though and reclined his head up against the sofa.
Han Yun¡¯er looked at his handsome and elegant face with an infatuated gaze, and unable to control herself, lunged towards him, her hands syed across his chest. In that moment, feeling his muscr form under her palms, she became even more infatuated by his charm.
A perfect man like Young Master Jie was a rarity. She must capture his heartpletely; that way, she could be a Cindere of society¡ªthe wealthiest amongst them all.
Ogling his luscious lips, her heart surged with pleasure, and she leaned in slowly, trying to kiss him.
Rumour had it that Yin Shaojie had countless women, yet none of them had ever received a kiss from him. It was said that the woman he bestowed a kiss upon could only then be his one true love.

¡°Young Master Jie¡¡± she said, purring coquettishly in a way that would melt the heart of any man.
However, that did not include Yin Shaojie¡¯s heart.
Right before she seeded in stealing a kiss from him, Yin Shaojie frowned and opened his eyes suddenly, his gaze on her dark and distant.
The next second, his eyes shed with displeasure, and he pushed her away without any hint of tenderness.
¡°You stay away from me!¡± The tone in his voice was cold and harsh. He was feeling a little ufortable because he had drunk too much, and he propped up his forehead in his hands.
Han Yun¡¯er pouted, but she leaned in and caressed his arms. ¡°Young Master Jie, you¡¯re drunk; let me hold you up.¡±
His brow wrinkling, Yin Shaojie turned out his pockets, searching for something that he couldn¡¯t locate. Sharply, he barked, ¡°Where is my phone!¡±
Sitting close by, his assistant rushed over, and holding up his phone in both hands, said, ¡°Young Master Jie, Young Master Jie, your phone¡¯s here. You dropped it just now, and I took care of it for you.¡±
Hesitating, he wondered if he should tell Young Master Jie that he had answered an iing call earlier.
However, the phone started ringing at that moment.
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes. After ncing at the unknown number, he answered the call.
¡°Yin! Shao! Jie!¡±
Not recognizing that it was Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s voice, his brows furrowed, and his mood turned sour. Other than those of his family, no other woman dared to holler his name like that.
¡°Who the heck are you?¡± he said impatiently.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned and asked, ¡°Is that you, Yin Shaojie?¡±
Yin Shaojie thought, This woman must be nuts, calling to ask if I am Yin Shaojie.
¡°You¡¯re some; I¡¯m hanging up!¡±
¡°Wait! Where are you right now? I¡¯ll go and find you!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stopped him hastily. Even though she was confused, she picked up on his intoxicated voice and surmised that the jerk had gone out, fooled around, and gotten drunk again.
Usually, Yin Shaojie would have hanged up, but the voice on the other side was familiar, and that made him blurt out his location unexpectedly.
¡°I¡¯m at Night Charm Bar, booth 201.¡±
¡°Alright, I¡¯ming now! Stay there!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao said and hung up.
Yin Shaojie held up his phone and stared at it.
¡°Who in the world was that?¡± he muttered. There was apparently no woman in the world who dared to boss him around like that.
No, it seemed like there was an exception¡
Right as he remembered who, Han Yun¡¯er, who had been beside him all along, leaned over. Coquettishly, she asked, ¡°Young Master Jie, who was that? Your new girlfriend?¡±
Ignoring the womanpletely, Yin Shaojie leaned back on the sofa.
His assistant, seeing that he was ufortable, went out hurriedly and returned shortly with some hangover medicine. He proffered it respectfully to Yin Shaojie and said, ¡°Young Master Jie, here¡¯s some hangover medicine.¡±
Yin Shaojie reached out to take the medicine, but Han Yun¡¯er snatched it away first. ¡°Young Master Jie, let me feed you.¡±
Feeling sluggish, Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t feel like moving, so he let her wait on him. Anyway, he was used to people waiting on him.
On the other side of town.
After getting Yin Shaojie¡¯s location, Mu Xiaoxiao left her luggage at the security desk on the first floor and set off to find him.
It had been a long time since she had been in the country, and she studied the scenery outside while in the taxi.
When they finally arrived at the bar district, the taxi stopped. Roving his eyes crudely on her chest for a while, the driver then announced, ¡°Miss, Night Charm Bar is right in front.¡±

¡°Thanks!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was so focused on finding Yin Shaojie that she wanted to leave after thanking him.
The driver shouted immediately, ¡°Eh, eh! You haven¡¯t paid me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned momentarily before realizing it. ¡°How much is the fare?¡±
She ransacked her entire purse but discovered that she only had American money and not a single Chinese yuan.
¡°48 yuan,¡± the driver said. While she was busy searching for money, he ogled at her chest again.
Oh, and I forgot to mention this, but Mu Xiaoxiao was originally wearing a jacket before her return. However, due to the hot weather, she took it off.
Then¡ even though she was only sixteen years old, her bosom was more voluminous than those of other girls.
Mu Xiaoxiao really couldn¡¯t find any Chinese yuan. Not only did she not have 48 yuan, but she also did not have a single Chinese yuan on her.
With an embarrassed look, she asked the driver, ¡°Um¡ do you ept American money? I¡¯ve juste back to the country and haven¡¯t had the chance to change it to Chinese yuan. They¡¯re all I have on me.¡±
¡°No American money. I only want Chinese yuan. Hurry up and give it,¡± the driver¡¯s face darkened as he rejected her.
¡°But I don¡¯t have Chinese yuan. What do you want me to do?¡± Just then, Mu Xiaoxiao had a sudden stroke of inspiration and got an idea. She smiled and wheedled the driver, ¡°How about this¡ªI¡¯ll go in and find my friend for some money ande out to give it to you, alright?¡±
The driverined, ¡°No way! Who knows if you wille out after you go in.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao felt trapped. ¡°Then what am I supposed to do? I only have American money on me.¡±
With all options exhausted, she really didn¡¯t know what else to do.
¡°Oh yeah, hang on, let me call my friend toe out and hand me money, is that okay?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao thought that she was really smart foring up with this idea, and she dialed Yin Shaojie¡¯s number.
However, that jerk wasn¡¯t picking up!
Furious, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s delicate face fell. She dialed again but with no sess.
¡°That hateful Yin Shaojie, that jerk! You¡¯ll regret this!¡± She almost smashed her phone in anger.
She was thinking of using her phone as coteral, but what if she couldn¡¯t find Yin Shaojie in the bar? Her phone woulde in handy, so she couldn¡¯t give it to the driver.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the driver. Batting her eyshes coyly, she said, ¡°Uncle Driver, can you give me some leeway? I¡¯m really not a bad guy; I just came back from America and don¡¯t have any Chinese yuan; it¡¯s true. I¡¯m going to the bar to look for my friend¡ªlet me look for him inside. Once I find him, I¡¯ll give you the money, alright? If not, you cane in with me too!¡±
¡°No way! I can¡¯t go around wasting time with you. Hurry up and give me the fare; I¡¯m running a business here,¡± the driver dered with anypassion.
Mu Xiaoxiao was at a loss.
Just then, the driver leered at her chest again. In a low voice, he said, ¡°However, you can use something else as coteral for the fare.¡±
¡°What is it? Not my phone; I still need it to contact my friend,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, Moreover, her phone was of thetest model and cost several thousand yuan¡ªhow could she use it as coteral?
¡°No¡ that¡¯s¡ let me fondle your breasts,¡± the driver finally said, revealing his intentions.
Mu Xiaoxiao realized only then that this middle-aged man had been leering at her chest.
Instantly, her blood boiled with rage. ¡°You pervert!¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Just a feel for 48 yuan¡ªit¡¯s a great deal for you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him. ¡°48 yuan? Then you can go to h*ll!¡±
Her mind spoken, Mu Xiaoxiao got out of the taxi, its door opened a while ago. Ignoring the driver¡¯s shouts from behind her, her petite frame hurried into the bar.
Before she could enter, the bouncer at the entrance blocked her way. ¡°Little girl, are you of age yet?¡±
¡°I¡¯m looking for Yin Shaojie!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao yelled. The driver was nearing, and she was bing anxious. Ignoring the bouncer¡¯s obstruction, she ducked under his arm to enter.
The bouncer, upon hearing that she was looking for Young Master Jie, didn¡¯t dare to block her any further and let her go in.
When the driver was about to rush in, the bouncer even helped her block his advance.
¡°No entry allowed!¡±
¡°Why can¡¯t I enter? That wretch owes me money¡ªI¡¯m going in to catch her! Get out of my way!¡±
¡°Hmph, I don¡¯t give a f*ck who owes you money. This bar only admits hunks and beauties¡ªold man, you¡¯re so old; you¡¯re not a part of this crowd. Go elsewhere.¡±
¡ª¨C
This bar is pretty big.
Mu Xiaoxiao was lost momentarily and had to ask someone for directions before she knew where booth 201 was.
Although she had seen bars being portrayed in movies, she had never been in one before. She had never imagined that bars would be so noisy in real life.
¡°Why are there so many people?¡± Her smooth forehead wrinkled as the music made her ears ache.
Finally, she found booth 201. Pushing the door in, she entered.
¡°Yin Shaojie!¡± She hollered ferociously, cing her hands on her hips.
Immediately, all eyes in the booth turned towards her. A woman with a lot of makeup on sashayed towards her. With a disapproving tone, she said, ¡°Who are you? Don¡¯t think that you can get Young Master Jie¡¯s attention just by daring to speak his name like that! Little girl, you¡¯re too naive.¡±
Han Yun¡¯er moved closer, and Mu Xiaoxiao choked on her pungent perfume. Wrinkling her nose, she took a few steps back and ordered, ¡°Stoping closer!¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s assistant walked over and smiled at Mu Xiaoxiao as he said, ¡°You¡¯re looking for Young Master Jie? He¡¯s in the restroom and will be back soon.¡±
Han Yun¡¯er was annoyed with Mu Xiaoxiao. Scrutinizing her from head-to-toe, Han Yun¡¯er gaze naturally fell upon herrge bosom and gave an irritated harrumph.
¡°Don¡¯t tell me that you¡¯re Young Master Jie¡¯stest girlfriend? So it¡¯s because he took an interest in you that he dumped me? You¡¯ve got nothing on me except yourrge boobs.¡±
This statement made all the boys in the booth to crack-up.
Comparing the two girls, of course Mu Xiaoxiao was more beautiful. Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s prettiness was drawn out through make-up, but Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s beauty was gic. Her eyes were especially lovely¡ªpeople instantly took a fancy to her sparkling, dark round eyes that resembled the color of ck grapes at first nce.
A natural beauty versus an artificial one.
The winner was obvious.
However, Han Yun¡¯er had really thick skin and thought that she was an absolute beauty as the most beautiful girl in Second High.
It had never crossed her mind that if she wasn¡¯t Young Master Jie¡¯s girlfriend, she would never have been voted the new school beauty.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face darkened. She hated it when people said that she had an ample bosom!
In America, where the girls possessed full chests, her breasts were not considered big. But back home, there was always someone whomented on the size of her chest.
She snapped at Han Yun¡¯er, ¡°Can you shut up? I¡¯m not here for you; what are you babbling for?¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Displeased, Han Yun¡¯er retorted, ¡°Who the heck are you to dare say that to me?!¡±
She had already been irritated that Yin Shaojie had broken up with her after a mere week of dating. Even his reason for breaking up was superficial. Only a few days had passed before there were rumors that he had already acquired a new girlfriend whom she heard was really pretty.
Not only did she lose to Mu Xiaoxiao in looks and figure, but she also lost in dignity. She couldn¡¯t swallow this.
No matter what, she had to salvage her dignity!
Mu Xiaoxiao had no intention of bickering with the woman before her. Not wanting to waste her time, she did not take the bait and was only interested in finding Yin Shaojie.
She looked at the assistant nearby and asked, ¡°Where is the male restroom? Take me there.¡±
The assistant was shocked. ¡°You want to go to the male restroom?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was getting impatient. ring at him with her beautiful ck eyes, she said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that Yin Shaojie visited the restroom? If I don¡¯t look for him in the male restroom, am I supposed to look in the female one?¡±
¡°Uh, oh, okay¡¡±
Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s anger was through the roof.
This woman dared to ignore her!
At any rate, she was THE school beauty of Second High!
She would never allow this woman to act so arrogantly in front of her, especially not when she was Yin Shaojie¡¯s new girlfriend!
¡°How dare you ignore me? Face me! I¡¯m talking to you! Oi, are you deaf?!¡± Han Yun¡¯er was incensed, so she yanked on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hair.
The booth was only illuminated by disco lighting, so it was a little dark. Mu Xiaoxiao, caught unaware, had her hair jerked. Her scalp tingled numbly.
¡°Let go!¡± she ordered loudly.
Han Yun¡¯er was pleased. ¡°I don¡¯t want to; what are you going to do?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth. Surrendering all restraint, she reached out, grabbed Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s skirt hem, and pulled in a downward motion.
¡°Ah¨C¡± Han Yun¡¯er turned white. Releasing her grip, she pulled her skirt back up quickly. However, her undignified moment had already been witnessed by the rest, and they wereughing.
Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s face colored in fury. Simmering with rage, she red at Mu Xiaoxiao and howled, ¡°You b*tch! I¡¯ll get my revenge on you!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared her down with no hint of fear, her eyes daring her to retaliate.
Just then, the door to the booth opened.
A charming voice rang out. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±
Hearing the familiar voice, Mu Xiaoxiao turned towards it and glowered at the person who had entered.
¡°Yin! Shao! Jie!¡±
Yin Shaojie, who was beginning to pose dramatically against the door frame, was startled when he heard the voice. Focusing his gaze on the petite figure before him, he said in a surprised tone, ¡°Xiaoxiao? Why are you here?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled darkly as she moved towards him. ¡°Not bad. I thought you had forgotten me. Good.¡±
Standing before him, she pped him across the face.
The people around them gasped collectively.
Goodness gracious!
This woman dared to hit Young Master Jie?
Yin Shaojie¡¯s seductive eyes narrowed, and he grasped her hand in time.
¡°What¡¯s up? What¡¯s with this tantrum when you¡¯ve juste back?¡± What amazed the crowd was that not only was Yin Shaojie not angry, but he also sounded coaxing.
¡°Hmph! Don¡¯t you know that I¡¯ve encountered a lot of trouble searching for you?!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said in a huff. She broke free from his grasp and managed tond a hit on his chest this time.
Willingly, Yin Shaojie let her pummel his chest, humoring herpletely.

Willingly, Yin Shaojie let her pummel his chest, humoring herpletely.
This scene stunned the crowd around them. They couldn¡¯t believe the interaction that was going on, and they thought that perhaps they were seeing things.
Was the person in front of them Young Master Jie, who was usually domineering?
¡°Okay, do you want to stop already? Yin Shaojie reached out and took her in his arms. Her delicate form, cuddled against his tall one, entuated her cute and helpless demeanor.
However, the cute and helpless little thing did not seem happy. Instead, it looked more annoyed.
Yin Shaojie rearranged her mussed-up hair. Looking at her with a look of suspicion, he asked, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, what is this hairstyle that you are sporting? It¡¯s so messy; is it thetest American trend?¡±
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s lips curled in displeasure, and sweeping her nce at Han Yun¡¯er, she stated coldy, ¡°The credit is yours.¡±
¡°Me?¡± Yin Shaojie was confused. ¡°What has it got to do with me? I¡¯ve only just known that you¡¯ve returned.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed, and staring at Han Yun¡¯er, said, ¡°This girlfriend of yours is really the best¡ªI came in to find you, and not only did she give me trouble, but she also pulled my hair. Yin Shaojie, your taste in women is really great!¡±
Thatst sentence was extremely sarcastic!
Yin Shaojie had known her since she was a baby¡ªher age was equal to the length of their acquaintance. He, of course, picked up on her sarcasm.
He directed his cold sharp gaze to Han Yun¡¯er. In a chilly tone, he asked, ¡°Han Yun¡¯er, you pulled her hair? Who gave you permission? How dare you touch her?¡±
Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s furious facade was reced by a withering look. She knew that she was about to be reprimanded from the look in Young Master Jie¡¯s eyes.
¡°Y-Young Master Jie¡ listen to me, things aren¡¯t like what she had said! It was h-her own arrogant attitude that brought it on! And what right does she have to call you by your full name! She was so disrespectful to you. It made me so angry that I¡¡±
To appear just and right, Han Yun¡¯er tried hard to think of any inappropriate behavior Mu Xiaoxiao had engaged in.
The edge of Yin Shaojie¡¯s lips curled up in a smirk as he wrapped an elegant arm over Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s shoulders. Narrowing his eyes at Han Yun¡¯er, he dered, ¡°Haha, what right does she have, you ask? I gave her permission to call me like that! What right do you have to control how she addresses me?¡±
When she heard Yin Shaojie putting Han Yun¡¯er in her ce, what was left of Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s anger dissolved, and she felt much better.
Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s face was full of fear when she heard this statement. She had never been in such a situation before, and she had also never heard of any woman who was as pampered as Mu Xiaoxiao was currently. She knew this from stalking him ever since she had been acquainted with him, and she had had a crush on him since junior high.
All of Yin Shaojie¡¯s girlfriends addressed him as ¡°Young Master Jie¡± with no exceptions.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao was apparently an exception.
How could Han Yun¡¯er swallow her pride?
What right, oh what right does this woman have to be the exception?
The edges of her eyes reddened. Tears started to fall, and she looked extremely pitiful.
¡°Young Master Jie¡ I really, really didn¡¯t know that you had such a¡ special rtionship with her¡ Sorry, I really didn¡¯t know¡¡±
Yin Shaojie turned his face away impatiently. He hated it most when women cried.
Mu Xiaoxiao also felt annoyed. She had wanted to watch Yin Shaojie reproach Han Yun¡¯er to defend herself.
However, she had burst into tears instantly¡ªhow could he continue then?
However, Mu Xiaoxiao felt that Han Yun¡¯er was quite shrewd and understood Yin Shaojie enough to back down at this moment.

Chapter 7: Women Should Not Make Enemies of One Another
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao glowered at Yin Shaojie through the corner of her eyes and said indignantly, ¡°Do as you see fit!¡±
If he didn¡¯t help her get even after being bullied, she would make him suffer.
Yin Shaojie would not have tolerated people bullying her even if she hadn¡¯tined, especially not when it was within the sphere of his control.
Yin Shaojie stared Han Yun¡¯er down. ¡°Tell me, Han Yun¡¯er, how should I punish you?¡±
Under his gaze, Han Yun¡¯er felt chills down her spine. Thinking on her feet and seeming to have reached a conclusion, she took a deep breath, raised a hand, and proceeded to give herself a p.
¡°I¡¯m sorry! It¡¯s my fault! I shouldn¡¯t have acted on my own ord!¡± She gave herself two more ps as she continued to sob, tears streaming down her face. Her apology appeared to be genuinely sincere.
Upon hearing the two ps and seeing Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s tear-stained face, Mu Xiaoxiao decided to drop the matter. ¡°You can stop hitting yourself already.¡±
If she let this continue, people would think that she was a bully.
Anyway, women shouldn¡¯t make enemies of one another.
Actually, she would rather not have confrontations or brawls with others if she could help it.
¡°Come on, let¡¯s go home!¡± Mu Xiaoxiaomanded after she turned towards Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie addressed the crowd, ¡°I¡¯ll be going first; continue to have fun or go home, whatever goes. Oh yeah, where¡¯s my phone?¡±
¡°Young Master Jie, your phone¡¯s here.¡± His assistant came forward.
Seeing his phone triggered memories of not being unable to reach him. She red with annoyance.
ring at him, she said, ¡°Yin Shaojie, you couldn¡¯t recognize my voice when I called earlier, and my call for help to pay my taxi fare went ignored. If you¡¯re not going to use your phone, you should just let me have it!¡±
In a grabbing motion, she reached out for the phone.
However, Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm was longer than hers. He raised his arm forward, and the phone went out of her grasp.
Bending his arm, he slid his phone back into his pocket. He then wrapped an arm around her shoulders and guided her out.
¡°Aiya, what¡¯s up with you? It¡¯s so noisy in the booth; it¡¯s normal to not be able to recognize your voice. What¡¯s so important that youe looking for me as soon as you got back anyway?¡±
Yin Shaojie was curious. Even when Mu Xiaoxiao returned during New Year¡¯s, she had never sought him out with this much enthusiasm.
With a doubtful smile on his face, he asked, ¡°Xiaoxiao, could it be that¡ you¡¯re suddenly head over heels in love with me? Coming to me with such haste and fighting with my ex¡ªsay, are you going to confess?¡±
ncing upwards, Mu Xiaoxiao grinned, and she proceeded to lift her foot and stepped on his. Hard.
Yin Shaojie gritted his teeth in pain and glowered at her from the slits of his eyes. ¡°B*tch! Can¡¯t you handle a joke? Did you lose your sense of humor in America?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed and retorted, ¡°I¡¯m in a bad mood tonight!¡±
If he messed with her when she was in a bad mood, getting this treatment was just his desserts!
Yin Shaojie led her out of the bar and regained hisposure. Leaning his arm on her shoulder casually, he asked, ¡°So? What do you need me for?¡±
¡°To open your house door; I don¡¯t have your keys,¡± she said. More importantly, she needed him because the door could only be unlocked by his palm.
Yin Shaojie was confused. ¡°My house? My family is around; just give them a call, and someone would unlock the door for you. They would even line up to wee you.¡±

Ever since they were young, they had grown up together. His house was like her second home, and she coulde and go when she pleased.
Since when did she need him to unlock the door for her when she visited?
Hang on, something seems amiss.
Yin Shaojie detected a hint of fishiness.
Narrowing his eyes at her, he asked, ¡°Which house are you referring to? Do you mean¡ the condominium that I¡¯m staying at right now?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded a matter-of-factly. ¡°Of course; if not, why would I look for you? Idiot.¡±
She stared at him as though he was a fool.
He was obviously dumb¡ªwhy would she go searching for him if she had wanted to go to his family¡¯s house?
His eyebrows furrowed, Yin Shaojie paused. He increased the pressure on her arm, and he asked in a skeptical tone, ¡°Why do you want to stay in my condominium? It¡¯s already sote; even if you wanted lodgings, you could have just gone to my mom¡¯s ce. Why look for me?¡±
Even though he had subconsciously deduced that things were not quite right, he didn¡¯t want his suspicions to be confirmed. He wanted to be wrong!
Mu Xiaoxiao smirked at him. Chuckling, she drawled, ¡°Looks like you¡¯re still clueless that you¡¯ve been pulled into Mama Yin¡¯s schemes.
Gloom clouded Yin Shaojie¡¯s features. ¡°What the heck? Tell me what¡¯s going on!¡±
¡°From today onwards, we¡¯re¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao had wanted to dere that they had been betrothed and would be cohabiting from now on.
Just as they exited the bar, however, a person, brimming with fury, rushed over and interrupted her.
¡°Give me my money little girl!¡±
So it was the perverted driver.
Recalling the perverse behavior of the driver, Mu Xiaoxiao became enraged. Her smile disappeared as she red at him.
¡°You¡¯re still asking for money? Are you trying to use it to buy a coffin for your death?¡± She gave him a cold smile.
Yin Shaojie had originally wanted to hear her exnation, but hearing these unexpected words, he changed his mind. Seeing red, he looked daggers at the driver and questioned, ¡°Who the heck are you?¡±
Immediately, the driver picked up on Yin Shaojie being a wealthy scion¡ªhis self-possessing aura emanated absolute power from head-to-toe. This was a man who was not to be trifled with.
His attitude underwent aplete overhaul instantly, and he smiled warmly. ¡°Young Master, thisdy rode over in my taxi, but because she didn¡¯t pay, I made her¡ well, never mind, could you please give me the fare?¡± he said politely to Yin Shaojie.
Mu Xiaoxiao hugged her chest with both arms. ¡°This uncle wanted to fondle my breasts as coteral for the fare,¡± she stated icily.
Breaking out in cold sweat, the driverughed dryly, ¡°This is¡ just a misunderstanding; miss, you¡¯ve misinterpreted my words¡ªI only said that you could go in and get money to pay me and that you could leave something behind as coteral.¡±
¡°Haha, misunderstanding?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes shed.
Hearing Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s words, he lowered his gaze to her chest for a moment¡ªit was then that he realized that this wretch had on a figure-hugging tank top that showed off her voluminously perfect breasts. It was indeed an exciting sight to behold.
He tutted and said, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, since when did you start maturing? What did America feed you?¡±
In the past, he remembered that he used to call her ¡°t,¡± but now, that was not the case anymore¡
Mu Xiaoxiao dug her elbows into his chest and scowled.
She was so tired; all she wanted was to go home and sleep!

Chapter 9: Give Me a Few Million to Splurge

Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze returned to the driver. ¡°How much money?¡± he asked.
The driver initially thought that he wouldn¡¯t be paid, and he was exhrated at his words. ¡°480 yuan!¡± he said excitedly.
¡°Wasn¡¯t it 48 yuan?! You¨C¡± Mu Xiaoxiao, irate, wanted to tear into the driver, but she was held back by Yin Shaojie.
¡°480 yuan? I see you have a death wish,¡± Yin Shaojie smiled pleasantly and remarked. The next second, heunched a sudden kick at the driver, causing him to fall to the ground.
The driver shrieked in pain. Rolling on the floor, he wailed pitifully, ¡°He hit me! Come witness this; he hit me! Help!¡±
Yin Shaojie looked down at him with a calm and unruffled air. ¡°I only hit you. That¡¯s toome; wanna be killed next?¡±
He looked at Mu Xiaoxiao deliberately as he said this, as though the entire situation was an exciting game.
The nce at her told Mu Xiaoxiao that he was calling the driver¡¯s bluff on purpose. However, she was too tired to join in.
¡°Hurry up. I want to go home and sleep,¡± she derednguidly.
Hearing Yin Shaojie¡¯s sinister tone, the driver was peculiarly ovee with trepidation as his heart thundered in his chest.
Almost immediately, several bar bouncers hurried over.
The driver mistakenly glimpsed a hope of survival until he saw the bouncers head over to Yin Shaojie. Bowing respectfully, they asked, ¡°Young Master Jie, is anything the matter? Can we manage anything for you?¡±
Still vulnerable on the ground, the driver paled as he realized that he was in deep trouble for believing that he could extort him and earn some extra money.
¡°M-my apologies, Young Master. I¡¯m alright now¡ªmay we drop this matter please? I¡¯ve already been punished, and I don¡¯t need the money anymore; let¡¯s call this even?¡±
Not even giving the driver a look, he ordered the bouncer, ¡°This man tried to extort money from me right outside your bar. Deal with him.¡±
The bar, being the haunt of the wealthy upper-ss who had influential backgrounds, regarded dealing with such matters as its duty.
¡°Rest assured, Young Master Jie, we will deal with him to your satisfaction.¡±
After finishing his sentence, a few men grabbed the driver unceremoniously and hauled him away.
Curious, Mu Xiaoxiao stretched her neck out and witnessed the driver being hauled into a dark alley. She vaguely registered some agonizing yelps.
¡°Come on, let¡¯s go home.¡± Yin Shaojie embraced her, shielding her from watching any further. Witnessing such a thing was unsuitable for the likes of little girls like her.
Driven by the bar¡¯s valet, his car arrived.
Yin Shaojie pulled and squeezed her into the car and got in the driver¡¯s seat himself. Engine rumbling with several ¡®vrooms,¡¯ the streamlined sports car exited the bar district in a whirlwind.
Mu Xiaoxiao caressed the interior of the car everywhere. Tutting, she said, ¡°This car must be really expensive, huh? You¡¯re such a spendthrift.¡±
Although she wasn¡¯t familiar with cars, she had seen her fair share of car-buying enthusiasts in America. Such a car was easily worth a few million.
Yin Shaojie smirked and said, ¡°It¡¯s not expensive¡ªit¡¯s only a few million.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. ¡°You call that not expensive? Then give me a few million to splurge.¡±
She proffered her palm in front of him as she said this.
With one hand on the steering wheel, he used the free one and pped her outstretched palm with it. ¡°Why should I give you any? Your dad¡¯s loaded too; ask him if you want money.¡±
That stingy jerk!
Shooting a nce at him, she proceeded to ignore him.
Shortly afterward, they arrived at the luxurious condominium he was living at.
Yin Shaojie drove and parked the car in the garage. He then noticed that the girl was terribly groggy, her head tilted to one side as though she had already fallen asleep.

¡°Oi, Xiaoxiao, wake up; we¡¯re home. Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know you¡¯re pretending to sleep¡ªyou want to be carried up? Dream on!¡± With an air of sessfully perceiving her deception, he nudged her with his hand.
However, not only did Mu Xiaoxiao not wake up, she even raised an arm to swat at his hand as though it was a fly.
Yin Shaojie frowned. Could it be that this girl had really fallen asleep?
Looking at the time, it was already way past midnight. He remembered that she had only arrived today, having been on a ne for more than ten hours¡ªof course she was jetgged and tired.
¡°Tsk, I owe you this much anyway,¡± he muttered. Getting out of the car, he headed over to the passenger side. Hoisting her up, he carried her on his back.
Mu Xiaoxiao smacked her lips, her face against his back. It lookedfortable, and rubbing her face against his back, she proceeded to fall asleep.
Yin Shaojie remotely locked his car before carrying her up the lift.
He stayed on the top floor of this luxurious condominium, for he liked the feeling of being able to oversee the world. However, it being in the middle of the night, the lift was empty except for the two of them.
Mu Xiaoxiao, t against his back, slept soundly andfortably.
Yin Shaojie stood in the lift. Peering at the mirror and seeing Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s sleeping face, he shook his head instinctively.
Atst, they arrived home. He pressed his palm against the scanner and deliberated over where he should put her down. In the end, he chose the guest room. cing her on the bed, he even graciously covered her with a nket before leaving.
Yin Shaojie stretched and went to shower.
Ten minutester, he was out of the shower with nothing but a towel around his waist. Suddenly, a petite figure greeted him out of nowhere.
He jumped in surprise. He had forgotten about this wretch¡¯s presence.
¡°What are you doing? Trying to sneak up on me while I¡¯m showering?¡± Yin Shaojie teased. Looking down, he saw her small frame against his chest, her eyes still half-closed from drowsiness.
Apparently, she hadn¡¯t even woken uppletely.
Could she be sleepwalking?
Mumbling, Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°So dirty¡ I wanna wash up¡ so ufortable¡¡±
She pulled on her clothes as she said this.
With her having only a tank top on and pulling on it, the milky white skin of her chest was exposed.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes bulged, and he hurriedly stopped her actions. If she continued, she would probably have taken off her top.
¡°How are you going to take a bath when you¡¯re still so groggy with sleep?¡± he asked as he detached her from his body. With both arms on her shoulder, he steadied her and thought of whether to wake her up properly.
If she was so tired, she should have just kept sleeping. He couldn¡¯t understand why she still wanted to wash up¡ªwas she a clean freak?
Mu Xiaoxiao reached out and touched his chest. After his shower, his skin was slightly damp. Not only did it have afortable cooling sensation, but it also had a nice fragrance.
¡°Yin Shaojie, why are you topless?¡± she mumbled sleepily. She continued to stroke his chest as though she had developed an addiction to it.
It felt so good under her hand. One stroke, another stroke¡
Yin Shaojie could stand it any more. Even though he was proud of his figure, he couldn¡¯t allow her to touch him carelessly any longer.
¡°That¡¯s enough; can you wake up a little?¡± With one hand, Yin Shaojie grabbed her hand this time while the other held her chin. He shook it, trying to wake her up enough for her to realize what she was doing.

¡°I¡¯m sweating all over¡ it¡¯s sticky and ufortable¡ I must wash up¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao, sulking, muttered. She waved his hands off impatiently and tried to duck under his arm.
Seeing that she still wanted to take a bath even when she was so confused, Yin Shaojie was speechless and grabbed her by the cor of her neck.
¡°Must you really wash up?¡± he said while looking at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°If not, how am I supposed to sleep¡?¡±
Yin Shaojie regarded her sternly and dered, ¡°If you want to take a bath, you have to wake up first¡ªwho knows if you¡¯ll fall asleep in the tub if you¡¯re so groggy.¡±
Something like this had happened before. As a child, she had liked to nap while taking bubble baths. She had almost drowned in the tub¡ªit had happened once at his ce¡ªwhen she fell asleep.
Thus, he didn¡¯t dare to let her take any baths in her current state; he couldn¡¯t bear the responsibility if anything happened to her.
He smiled creepily and rested a hand across the door frame as if he had suddenly thought of something. The door thudded onto her, and he gazed down at her half-opened eyes with his handsome face. ¡°Say, may I be your bathing assistant?¡± he said,cing his voice deliberately with a sexy huskiness.
Examining her figure, he had to admit that this girl had matured beyond his expectations within two years. Even though she was still on the short side, her curves were in all the right ces, making her figure look exquisite, and she had the potential for sexiness.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes narrowed as she smiled, her elegant and refined face suddenly moving towards his until it was mere centimeters away. ¡°Yin Shaojie, are you trying to take liberties with me?¡±
¡°Uh-huh, so what if I am?¡± Yin Shaojie teased her purposely. She was cuter than normal while confused, with her cuteness being likened to that of a little rabbit.
¡°Humph!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed defiantly. With a weak andnguid motion, she threw her hand forward,nding as a pat on his face. ¡°If your face hadn¡¯t be increasingly attractive, I would have pped you already.¡±
With narrowed eyes, Yin Shaojie said mockingly, ¡°What? You¡¯ve only just noticed my good looks? Be careful ¡ª you might fall in love with me.¡±
¡°Get out.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was annoyed by the look of pride on his face. Pushing it away, she said, ¡°I¡¯m going in to wash up¡¡±
She was much more awakepared to before.
Sticking out two fingers, he waved it in front of her and asked, ¡°How many fingers?¡±
¡°Two! You idiot! I¡¯m awake!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes shed. This time, her eyes opened fully, and she shoved his hand away roughly.
Yin Shaojie was sure that she was awake now. Anyway, it would be weird if she was still sleepy after conducting such a lengthy conversation on her feet.
¡°Then, how are you going to wash up?¡± he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him uprehendingly. With an expression of ¡°what nonsense are you talking about?¡± on her face, she said, ¡°A normal wash up, what else? Rx, I won¡¯t take a bubble bath thiste. I just want to sleep after taking a shower.¡±
She stretched and yawned.
Yin Shaojie said seriously, ¡°My point is, how are you going to shower if you don¡¯t have any clothes or pajamas to change into? Are you going to wear your current clothes after?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment before shouting, ¡°I have! I have! Wait, my suitcase! Where is my suitcase?¡±
If he had not mentioned this, she would have forgotten about her suitcase. Pushing her hair aside, she rushed to the living room to look for it.
¡°What suitcase? I haven¡¯t seen any¡ªeven when I brought you over, you had nothing of that sort,¡± he said.

With a sudden realization, Mu Xiaoxiao remembered something and hit her head lightly. ¡°Aiyo, I¡¯ve forgotten! I left my suitcase at the security post on the first floor. I¡¯ll go get it now¡¡±
She headed towards the door as she said this.
Yin Shaojie grabbed her hand and stopped her. ¡°You don¡¯t have to go. I¡¯ll ask them to send it up,¡± he said.
Looking at her tank top, he frowned slightly and asked, ¡°You¡¯ve been out all day dressed like this?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°No, when I came back I had a jacket on, but it was so hot. I took it off because I couldn¡¯t stand the heat.¡±
Upon hearing this, Yin Shaojie rxed a little. ¡°When you¡¯re here, don¡¯t dress like that; it¡¯s a little revealing,¡± he nagged.
Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed, ¡°You call this revealing? You don¡¯t know the meaning of revealing!¡±
Yin Shaojie rolled his eyes. ¡°I said, in this country! The people here are more conservative; it¡¯s not as if you don¡¯t know this.¡±
Moreover, wearing such clothes with her petite figure and ample bosom would only invite people to take advantage of her.
Yin Shaojie knocked on his forehead. This wasn¡¯t his business anyway. Why bother! he thought.
On second thought, whatever happened to her would not be ignored by his family since they were childhood friends. In the end, he would still be troubled by her troubles.
He called security downstairs. A guard sent the suitcase up swiftly.
Mu Xiaoxiao gave the security guard a parting smile and closed the door. Right as she was about to haul the suitcase into the guest room, she stopped.
Turning around to face him, she pointed to the biometric scanner and said, ¡°Oh yeah, register my palm print too so that I have convenient ess to the house.¡±
Yin Shaojie had believed that all would be fine after she got her suitcase and never thought that she would ask about this matter. He crossed his arms. ¡°No. Why should I register your palm print? So that you cane and go as you please?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao mimicked his stance and crossed her arms as well, having a standoff with him. However, due to their height difference, she had a much less imposing manner.
But it was alright¡ªshe could reason with him!
¡°Because I¡¯ll be living here starting today. If you don¡¯t register my print, how am I supposed to enter and exit? Or are you willing to follow me around all the time and be my human door-unlocker?¡± She smirked as she stared at him deliberately.
Yin Shaojie frowned. ¡°You¡¯re going to stay here? Who let you? Have you gotten my permission?¡±
Even though they were childhood friends, this ce was his personal territory and not somewhere she could invade his privacy bying and going as she pleased.
Spreading out her arms, she announced, ¡°Mama Yin let me stay.¡±
¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± He finally noticed something amiss, remembering the words she had not finished at the bar previously.
¡°What did you mean by me being embroiled in my mum¡¯s schemes earlier? It is rted to this?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her head. Raising her chin, she dered, ¡°Because we are about to be engaged soon, they want us to live together to cultivate some feelings.¡±
Yin Shaojie, wondering if he had heard incorrectly, looked at her, stunned. ¡°What did you say? Us? Engaged? What the heck is this!¡±
¡°Anyway, that¡¯s how things are. I¡¯m toozy to exin; you should ask your mum if you want more details. I¡¯m really tired now, so I¡¯m going to take a shower and head right to sleep. Ciao!¡±
With that, Mu Xiaoxiao yawned, gave a little wave, and dragged her suitcase into her room.

¡°Oi! Clear this up before you shower!¡±
With a bang, the door shut in Yin Shaojie¡¯s face. It almost hit his high nose bridge, which he took pride in.
¡°Come out, Mu Xiaoxiao!¡± he shouted as he hit the door.
Before long, Mu Xiaoxiao emerged from the room carrying fresh clothes. ¡°I¡¯m so, so tired right now that my brain is fried. I can¡¯t think. We¡¯ll talk tomorrow, okay?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said while half-leaning on the door frame.
With that, she brushed past him and walked toward the bathroom.
Yin Shaojie was at his wit¡¯s end. Noticing the tiredness on her face, he decided to drop the matter for now.
¡
The next day, Mu Xiaoxiao, who had had a good night¡¯s rest, heard noisesing from outside. She woke up, and throwing her nket off of her, got out of bed.
Opening the door, she spotted Yin Shaojie.
¡°Yin Shaojie, where¡¯s breakfast? I¡¯m hungry.¡± Her eyes were only half-opened. Apparently, she was still half-asleep. She walked over to the sofa and dropped herself on it. She then grabbed and hugged a cushion to her chest. Her head nodding, she looked as though she would fall back asleep.
Yin Shaojie poured a ss of water in his open kitchen, his extraordinarily elegant figure leaning on the counter. ¡°There¡¯s no breakfast. I don¡¯t cook here, so if you want food, go out and buy it yourself,¡± he said nonchntly.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face scrunched up miserably, and she started to wail pitifully. ¡°No breakfast? What am I going to do? I¡¯m going to die of hunger soon, boohoo¡¡±
She kicked her legs as shey on the sofa and pretended to sob.
Seeing her immature behavior, Yin Shaojie felt that she had not changed at all since she was little.
¡°There are beverages and milk in the fridge, and the cab has some biscuits and snacks. Help yourself to those first. I¡¯ll call home and get my mum to take you up.¡±
Upon hearing that there was food, Mu Xiaoxiao rolled off the sofa quickly and rushed over to the fridge. ¡°You want me to stay at your mum¡¯s? From today on I¡¯m staying here. Didn¡¯t I tell you before?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao waspletely at ease here and acted as though she was at her own ce. She casually took out some milk to drink, and seeing an apple, she took that as well. After downing half of the milk, she proceeded to eat the apple.
Yin Shaojie looked at her and said, ¡°I will not agree to an engagement of any sort!¡±
Shrugging, Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°If you disagree, bring it up with your parents and Grandpa Yin too. I don¡¯t have any say in this.¡±
He frowned. ¡°Grandpa Yin too? What is this nonsense?¡±
¡°Mama Yin said that she will exin it to you when you go back this weekend. Even then, if you don¡¯t like it, you still have to agree to it, so be a good boy and don¡¯t oppose them any longer.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was apparently aware of the consequences and knew that Yin Shaojie had no choice but to obey so long as it was Grandpa Yin¡¯s orders.
Frustrated, Yin Shaojie said, ¡°I¡¯m not waiting until the weekend. We¡¯re going back today to clear things up!¡±
¡°Whatever.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao spread her arms disinterestedly. She had already given in; he would follow suit soon.
Finishing her apple, she threw the core in the bin and washed her hands. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to school? Wait for me¡ªI¡¯ll brush my teeth, wash up, and change my clothes really quickly,¡± she said.
¡°You¡¯reing to school with me?¡± Yin Shaojie asked.
¡°Of course. From today onwards, I¡¯m transferring to your school.¡± Leaning on the door frame of the washroom, Mu Xiaoxiao grinned.

Chapter 14: She Gave Him the Cold Shoulder

Yin Shaojie looked as if he was going out of his mind, but Mu Xiaoxiao ignored him and entered the bathroom. She was even humming a tune.
After she finished washing up, they finally went out.
Even though Yin Shaojie was annoyed, he couldn¡¯t abandon her and still drove her to school.
When they had almost arrived at Shangde High, about a few hundred meters away, Mu Xiaoxiao shouted, ¡°Stop, stop, stop, stop! Let me down here.¡± Because the school was catered to the rich, it was humongous, and the entrance was visible from afar.
Yin Shaojie stopped his car, and because he didn¡¯t understand, he asked, ¡°Why are you getting off here? We haven¡¯t arrived at school.¡±
However, Mu Xiaoxiao was already out of the car. Carrying her bag by the strap, she beamed at him. ¡°I¡¯m not going to enter the school with you¡ªI prefer being low profile and don¡¯t want the inevitable scrutiny. You can go on ahead. I¡¯ll buy some breakfast before going in. Ciao!¡±
¡°Suit yourself,¡± Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t mind it. Many girls had desired and coveted to make an entrance in his car to show off, but this girl was giving him the cold shoulder.
Yin Shaojie drove away, leaving her alone.
Peering at her surroundings, Mu Xiaoxiao spotted a cake shop. A nice fragrance wafted over as she walked past it, and she allowed herself to be lured in.
There were many pretty-looking desserts on disy. Looking at them ignited her greed, and she wanted more than one. However, she couldn¡¯t buy all of them because she hadn¡¯t exchanged her American dors for Chinese yuan, and all she had on her was what she had demanded from Yin Shaojie in the car.
With a tiny piece of cake selling at about twenty to thirty yuan, it was not cheap. However, there was a crowd, which meant that they were probably delicious. Mu Xiaoxiao almost started drooling from the fragrance but managed to not plop herself onto the disy case.
At longst, she chose a strawberry cake¡ªher favorite vor¨C and a milk foam milk tea.
¡°I want this.¡± She pointed at thest strawberry cake on disy.
A shop attendant walked over and retrieved the strawberry cake, putting it in a box. It was ready.
Mu Xiaoxiao reached out her hand to take the cake, only to be met with the attendant¡¯s apologies. ¡°Sorry, but thisst piece has already been bought by someone. Feel free to pick out something else though.¡±
Irritated, Mu Xiaoxiao puffed out her cheeks. She had spent so much time considering what to pick, only for it to be taken by someone else.
¡°Who bought this? I was the one who saw it first!¡±
Stuck between a rock and a hard ce, the attendant pointed at a boy at the checkout counter. ¡°It¡¯s him, and he has already paid. I¡¯m really sorry about this. Do you want to try our matcha or mango cakes? They¡¯re very popr as well.¡±
¡°No, I don¡¯t!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao rejected. She walked over to the boy and tapped his shoulder. He was tall, about 180 centimeters, but she was used to seeing people this tall overseas and thought nothing of it.
¡°Hello, do you mind giving the strawberry cake to me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was slightly stubborn and spoiled. Once something had caught her eye, she would not change her mind and would only be content when she got it.
Surprisingly, the person who turned around was a hunk!
He looked handsome and dashing but also gentle and refined. His eyes held a wise gaze, and it was clear that he was an intellectual.
He was her type.
¡°Hello, is anything the matter?¡± Lu Yichen said, looking at her.
His voice was extremely mesmerizing, and it had a tone that appealed to girls. A girl¡¯s heart could be stirred just by listening to his voice alone.

Chapter 15: He Already Has a Girlfriend
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao was attracted to pleasant voices, and she was undeniably excited, especially because there was such a dashing man right in front of her. It was simply too tough to exercise restraint.
As a girl, who wouldn¡¯t be infatuated at times; it was totally eptable.
¡°That¡ this strawberry cake is thest piece. I hope to eat it. Can you let me have it? Please, please, pretty please!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao acted coyly, constantly blinked at him with her huge pair of beaming ck eyes.
If Yin Shaojie were here and saw her current state, he would surely not be able to withstand it and would roll his eyes.
Lu Yichen was unwavering and said apologetically, ¡°So sorry, this is meant for another person. I can¡¯t let you have it.¡±
Like a deted balloon, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face drooped. She thought, He must be getting it for his girlfriend; so thoughtful of him to even help her buy breakfast. Such a man is rare these days¡
Although she was rejected, within her heart; the person did gain extra merit points.
¡°Alright¡ I won¡¯t make things difficult. I¡¯ll get something else then.¡±
Thinking that the hunk already had a girlfriend, her mood went further down again; sighing and sighing, she dragged her feet towards the disy ss.
Lu Yichen¡¯s gaze followed her, probably feeling apologetic, and finally muttered, ¡°I heard some people say that the chestnut cake here is not bad. You can give it a try.¡±
Upon hearing what he said, Mu Xiaoxiao felt even more certain that he was gentle and thoughtful.
¡°Great. In that case, I shall try!¡± She smiled faintly at him.
After that, she ordered one chestnut cake from the shop; with the packed item in her hand, she ran and chased after him.
Although he already had a girlfriend and she had just transferred to the school, it wasn¡¯t a bad thing to know an intelligent person ¡ª she decided to hit on him.
¡°Hello!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao jovially smiled ¡ª her smile as lovely and cheerful as a sunflower. ¡°Are you also a student from Shangde? I was just transferred here today.¡±
Lu Yichen took a look at her ¡ª looking at such an innocent, smiling face, it would have been difficult for anyone to reject her.
¡°Yes,¡± he answered faintly.
Mu Xiaoxiao caught up with him and walked side by side with him. She asked, ¡°Which year are you?¡±
¡°Year 3.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao again felt a sense of disappointment. She pouted her lips and said, ¡°I should be in Year 2¡ can¡¯t possibly be Year 3.¡±
¡°Should be?¡± Lu Yichen could notprehend what she was saying. ¡°You don¡¯t even know which year you are?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao scratched her head sheepishly and said, ¡°Actually I transferred from the U.S; in the U.S I was in Year 1, but I feel like I am very smart, so Mama Yin would most likely have arranged for me to be in Year 2.¡±
Because she was new, Yin Shaojie was in Year 2. In order to let them develop their rtionship, Mama Yin could have arranged for her to be in the same ss as him.
Although she was studying in Year 1 back in the U.S, she felt like she wouldn¡¯t have any issues handling the curriculum here.
Lu Yichen looked at her self-assured expression and could not help but break into augh and say, ¡°You can¡¯t be too sure about this; the education in the U.S and here are different, but you shouldn¡¯t underestimate our local standard.¡±
Engrossed in their conversation, both of them eventually reached the gate of the school. As they entered together, Mu Xiaoxiao was stopped.
¡°You can¡¯t go in. sses are about to start now, and outsiders are not allowed into the school.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared with her eyes opened wide and told the security guard, ¡°I AM a student here. I just got transferred today!¡±
However, regardless of how she tried to exin herself, the other party simply refused to relent. In fact, the more he looked at her, the more he found her suspicious, and this made her really frustrated.

Just when Mu Xiaoxiao was thinking about whether to mention Yin Shaojie¡¯s name, she heard Lu Yichen beside her utter, ¡°She¡¯s really a new transfer from another school. That¡¯s why she still doesn¡¯t have a student pass. She will be reporting to the administrative office now, and I can be her witness.¡±
The security guard could recognize him and said, ¡°I recognize you. You are Lu Yichen right? Okay, I¡¯ll let her in on your ount.¡±
Lu Yichen nodded his head lightly and said, ¡°Thank you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was still rather unhappy. Although she was grateful for Lu Yichen¡¯s help, she was not at all pleased with the security guard¡¯s attitude; he watched her as though wary of a burr.
She had always thought that she looked sweet and cute ¡ª how could she be even mistaken as a dubious character.
¡°Thanks anyway, but I don¡¯t need your help. I want to rely on myself.¡± Having said that to Lu Yichen, she whipped out her mobile phone and called Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie¡¯szy voice could be heard over the phone as he said, ¡°Hello, what¡¯s the matter?¡±
The moment Mu Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, she simply couldn¡¯t help but feel indignant. She said, ¡°I was stopped by the security guard; he refused to let me in and didn¡¯t believe that I was a new transfer here.¡±
Yin Shaojieughed out loud instead.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s anger was fueled by his response. Before she could bellow at him, Yin Shaojieposed himself and said, ¡°I hear your indignation. Wait a while, and I will fix it for you soon.¡±
Suddenly, she heard a female¡¯s voice beside him; and she might have asked who the caller was. The voice was very delicate, one that men would find hard to resist.
¡°Who are you with?¡± she asked, her tone tinged with anger. She had to put up with this, and there he was having fun with a woman.
Be it whether Yin Shaojie did not hear that or he just did not want to answer, he hung up the phone.
¡°Hey!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shouted angrily at the phone.
Lu Yichen looked rather worried and asked, ¡°Are you okay? What happened?¡±
She looked really angry.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted her lips and unhappily uttered, ¡°Someone values sex over friendship!¡±
But barely a minuteter, the security guard¡¯s mobile phone rang. Obviously, he was taken aback by the caller ID that he saw; he answered the phone respectfully. Not sure of what he heard, he looked at Mu Xiaoxiao regretfully.
After ending the call, the security guard¡¯s attitude took a 180-degree change. He fawned over her and said, ¡°I am sorry. It was a misunderstanding and my mistake. You may go in. The Principal is waiting for you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was finally appeased; she walked in with her chin raised.
Lu Yichen was puzzled, catching up behind her and asking, ¡°Principal? Who exactly are you that the Principal has to be personally involved?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled, waving a finger at him in a secretive manner, and said, ¡°Secret! When you get to know me better, I shall tell you then.¡±
Lu Yichen smiled lightly and said, ¡°Are you hitting on me? I¡¯m not the type who makes friends easily.¡±
¡°Of course I know; you are an intellectual, and intellectuals are usually very selective with friends, especially a hunk like you. You are definitely surrounded by girls who will pester you all day long, trying to hit on you, right?¡± Mu Xiaoxiaoughed proudly, totally dismissing what Yin Shaojie had said.
¡°How do you know that I am an intellectual?¡± He nted his eyes and looked at her curiously.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled with raised eyebrows and said, ¡°Because I am smart! I can tell with one look that you are the intellectual type. Is my guess correct? Oh yes, the security guard mentioned earlier that he recognized you. Why? Are you very famous in school?¡±

¡°Yea, don¡¯t bother with it,¡± he replied faintly without exining and with no intention of boasting about it.
Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t at all satisfied; she probed hastily, ¡°What sort of fame? Was it because you are the school hunk? Or because you alwayse first in school? Must be both, right?¡±
Lu Yichen replied, ¡°Not at all. I¡¯m not the school hunk. However, I am known for my grades.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him, dumbfounded, and said, ¡°You aren¡¯t the school hunk? You are so dashing, yet you aren¡¯t the school hunk¡ wait, don¡¯t tell me the school hunk is Yin Shaojie?¡±
Upon hearing that name, Lu Yichen narrowed his eyes and asked, ¡°You know him?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t notice the change in his expression; she was indulging in her excitement and continued, ¡°He must be quite well-known in school, right? I heard that he has many girlfriends. Though both of you are in different years, you are also a well-known figure. You must know him too, right?¡±
¡°I know him, but I¡¯m not acquainted with him,¡± Lu Yichen answered coldly.
He looked at her in dubious manner and said, ¡°He does have many girlfriends; he¡¯s a yboy. As long as she is a pretty girl, he will be able to seed in wooing her. You like him too?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao humphed, ¡°A big-time yboy! I wouldn¡¯t like him!¡±
¡°Really?¡± He seemed surprised. The way she talked about Yin Shaojie just now seemed to be the reason why she got close to him.
Now that he had taken a serious look into her eyes, they weren¡¯t like those girls, whose eyes were filled with infatuation and adoration whenever Yi Shaojie was mentioned.
In that case, what she said was true?
Mu Xiaoxiao was all smiles and looked at Lu Yichen. She then said, ¡°I don¡¯t like that type; if I were to choose, I think you are better than him! What is so great about him; he is only riding on his wealth and good looks. His character isn¡¯t good, and whoever likes him will be unlucky!¡±
In fact, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t mean what she said.
If Yin Shaojie were to hear how she had described him, he would surely not let her off; hence, she could only speak ill about him behind his back.
Just let him continue to value sex over friendship!
Mu Xiaoxiao obviously hadn¡¯t forgotten this. Yes, she was the type to hold grudges.
This was surely the first time Lu Yichen had heard someone say such a thing about Yin Shaojie. He looked at her in bewilderment, as though she was from space.
Seeing her exhibiting such an undesirable expression, he couldn¡¯t help breaking into augh.
¡°You are interesting,¡± he said.
With a sly look, Mu Xiaoxiao seized the opportunity and said, ¡°Oh yes, I have forgotten to introduce myself. I know you are Lu Yichen. You have a nice name. I am Mu Xiaoxiao. You can just call me Xiaoxiao!¡±
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, you have a nice name too,¡± Lu Yichen replied with a light smile; drawn closer by her demeanor, he no longer had the same distant feeling that he had.
¡°I still don¡¯t know what ss I will be in. Why don¡¯t you tell me yours? Next time, I can look for you to have some fun. I just returned from abroad and am not at all familiar with the school. If there¡¯s anything I am not sure about, can I look for you?¡± she said, trying to strengthen the newly developed bond.
Actually, her thoughts were innocent. She just wanted to make him her friend. He was handsome and intelligent, and coupled with their affinity, surely they would be friends.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s biggest past time was to make friends, especially those who are capable and intelligent. The more the merrier.
¡°Sure, I am in Year Three ss S,¡± replied Lu Yichen.

Chapter 18: Her Background Is Not Simple

Mu Xiaoxiao looked around, and the schoolpound was deserted, not a soul in sight. Perhaps they had gone to attend sses, so she told Lu Yichen, ¡°In that case, I should not hold you back. I shall report to the Principal¡¯s office first and look for you to have fun when I am free. Bye.¡±
With that, she bounced away towards the administrative building.
Lu Yichen was looking at her from behind and deep in thought.
Was there a need for a transfer student to report to the Principal¡¯s office?
This had revealed that her background wasn¡¯t that simple.
Usually, one would just need to report to the teacher at the administrative office.
Thinking that there would still be opportunities for them to interact down the road, he stopped analyzing the possibilities and proceeded to his ss.
Elsewhere.
At the Principal¡¯s office.
Mu Xiaoxiao met with the Principal. The Principal¡¯s attitude towards her was very attentive; upon seeing her at the door, he even served her refreshments and asked if she wanted some fruits.
She sat down at the sofa with her legs crossed, and another woman walked in soon. Wearing ck-rimmed sses, she looked stern.
¡°Principal, may I know why you are looking for me?¡± The female teacher respectfully knocked on the door and walked in.
The Principal immediately put up airs, and in a dignified manner, he introduced, ¡°This is a new transfer student, Mu Xiaoxiao. Mu was previously from a prestigious American school with outstanding grades, and as such, I have allocated her to ss S. Please take her to the ss and make the necessary arrangements. Moving forward, she will be one of the people our school is grooming, understand?¡±
The female teacher definitely understood the Principal¡¯s intended message. She acknowledged what he said and left with Mu Xiaoxiao.
The Principal had even personally seen her to the door.
Very soon, Mu Xiaoxiao was at the ss entrance with the female teacher. Upon seeing the ss level, she asked in puzzlement, ¡°Year One ss S? Shouldn¡¯t I be in Year Two?¡±
Teacher Wei exined, ¡°Student Mu, it is because you were in Year One while in America. This was the reason why the Principal arranged for you to also be in Year One here. Moreover, the progress here is faster than the curriculum overseas; if you were to study in Year Two, you may not be able to catch up.¡±
¡°That¡¯s alright then¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao decided not to pursue it after thinking about her results.
Just now at the Principal¡¯s office, when Principal had mentioned that her results were outstanding, she was really fighting hard to control her embarrassment, trying to stop her face from turning red.
However, her original intentions ofing back to study were just to have fun, so whichever ss level she was being assigned, it wouldn¡¯t be of much importance. She would still go back to America sooner orter.
Teacher Wei walked in with her and told the students, ¡°This is a new transfer student, Mu Xiaoxiao. Give her a round of apuse and allow her to introduce herself.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stood beside the podium and jovially smiled at the students.
¡°Hello everyone! I am Mu Xiaoxiao; female; like good men. I will need your support in the future!¡±
Upon hearing her introduction, the ssughed; a handful of them started to mumble among themselves.
¡°This girl is so cute!¡±
¡°Right, right! Herplexion is so fair, just like that of a doll¡¯s. I didn¡¯t know that it would be a pretty girl. Seems like it won¡¯t be long before our school belle loses her position.¡±
¡°Xu Jingying simply can¡¯t bepared with her! She is not even half as pretty! This girl¡¯s name is Mu Xiaoxiao, such a cute name. If she is seated next to me, I will be on cloud nine.¡±
In a sh, all the boys in the ss became rowdy and asked Mu Xiaoxiao to sit with them.
Mu Xiaoxiao was beaming; she looked around, looking out for handsome boys. Obviously, she would want to sit next to one. This could at least help nourish her eyes.

Chapter 19: The Most Handsome Boy in ss
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Perhaps it was an elite school; in a nce, there were indeed a handful of good-looking boys. But after meeting Lu Yichen, they paled inparison.
Teacher Weimented, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, whom do you want to sit with? As long as the other party agrees, it will be okay.¡±
Following the teacher¡¯sment, all of the boys in the ss started to get really excited.
One after another, they eagerly said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao! Come and sit with me. I will buy breakfast for you every day, okay?¡±
¡°ssmate Mu, my results are good. Come and sit with me; if you have problems learning, I will surely go all the way to help you. I will also buy snacks for you every day.¡±
¡°Pretty girl, pretty girl,e and sit with me! I can be your ve, at your beck and call!¡±
Having said that, the rest of the ss booed.
Mu Xiaoxiao found them very interesting! However, she was not moved. She pondered and inquired, ¡°Who is the most handsome boy in our ss?¡±
What she didn¡¯t anticipate was that when everyone heard this, they were stunned for a while. Progressively, they looked at a particr seat, but they had strange expressions.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t care less what their expressions meant. Following their line of vision, she nced over and realized that they were looking at thest row beside the window; both seats were empty.
Was it that the most handsome boy was not present today?
Mu Xiaoxiao would definitely choose the most handsome one. She walked over beaming, sat at the empty seat, and said to the teacher, ¡°Teacher Wei, I shall sit here.¡±
The expression on Teacher Wei¡¯s also seemed a little weird. ¡°You can sit there if you like,¡± she said awkwardly.
Hitting the podium with a baton, she made sure that the ss quieted down.
¡°Okay, please take good care of the new student in the future. Love and unity, understand? Let¡¯s proceed with the lesson now.¡±
As she left the podium, the teacher went back and began her ss.
But at this juncture, who would still have the mood to listen to her lesson? The boys were all stealing nces at Mu Xiaoxiao, and the girls were sizing up her and makingparisons.
The boy seated in front of her smiled, fawning on her and said, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, you don¡¯t have a textbook yet. I can lend mine to you.¡±
Immediately, he ced a crumpled textbook in front of Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the book. It was soiled, and she wasn¡¯t sure what the stains could be; she dared not touch it. Not sure whether to cry or tough, she told him, ¡°I don¡¯t need it. You can have it¡ I will just take casually listen.¡±
¡°It¡¯s alright. I can share with the one next to me.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao: ¡°¡¡±
What the ssmate did was after all well-intentioned. It wouldn¡¯t be nice to embarrass him. She could only smile awkwardly.
The lesson was on English. She wouldn¡¯t dare to vouch for other subjects, but for English, it was surely her forte; after all, she had studied in America for so many years!
She found it boring¡ it was like attending an elementary school lesson; she was extremely bored.
She yawned a few times.
The boy in front lunged in her direction again and said, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, do you also not understand? How about we just have a chat.¡±
Don¡¯t understand? Of course she understood. But the lesson was too boring, so she didn¡¯t want to listen.
On the contrary, this boy was actually unable to understand such simple English?
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a sense of disdain. She got curious as ss S was supposed to be the best ss.
She asked the boy, ¡°What ss is ss S? Is it the worst ss? How are the sses graded?¡±
¡°No, ss S is the best ss!¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao had a cynical expression on her face, the kind that showed total disbelief to what he had said.
The boy scratched his head, feeling embarrassed, and said, ¡°Actually, ss S is either made up of students who are rich or those with excellent results. For the rest of the sses, they are the normal sses: A, B, C, D, and F, the worst and weakest ss. There are also many gangsters there, so make sure not to go to F ss in the future.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was in awe, so this was the case!
She felt this boy was rather nice to have cautioned her about this. She decided to improve her attitude towards him. She smiled and asked, ¡°Then you must be rich too? You don¡¯t look like one who has good grades.¡±
The boy was a little embarrassed. In an attempt to regain his pride, he exined, ¡°I am just not good with English. My Chinese is very good though!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t contain herughter. ¡°You are a man! What¡¯s there to be proud of about being good in Chinese?¡±
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, I realize you have a nasty tongue; you¡¯re nothing like your looks, innocent and cute.¡±
¡°You called this nasty tongue? You haven¡¯t met one who is really nasty.¡±
¡°Oh, by the way, I am Yu Zhe. If you have an issue next time, you can always look for my help,¡± Yu Zhe said as he patted his chest.
He looked rather pleasing to Mu Xiaoxiao. As she had been searching for good-looking boys from the podium, he had actually been one of them. She had never thought that he could be quite interesting. She decided to befriend him, as it wasn¡¯t a bad idea to have someone like him to run errands.
They had been looking down and chatting away, totally unaware that the teacher was getting angrier and angrier at the podium.
¡°New student, trante the next paragraph,¡± the teacher suddenly said.
Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t at all aware that she was being called as she continued chatting with her head down until the girl seated across the aisle gave her a push.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, the teacher is calling you.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao responded, raising her head and looking straight at the Teacher¡¯s fiery eyes, ¡°Teacher, is there anything wrong?¡±
The teacher¡¯s face was an incredible sight, a moving hue of blue and purple; she seemed to be infuriated to a great extent.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao! You will trante the second paragraph in the textbook!¡±
Shrugging her shoulders innocently, she said, ¡°But teacher, I don¡¯t have the textbook.¡±
¡°Borrow from your ssmate!¡±
Obviously, the teacher was angry and wasn¡¯t going to be easy.
Yu Zhe looked at Mu Xiaoxiao, feeling a little sorry for her. He handed over his textbook to her again and said softly, ¡°Just say whatever. She won¡¯t dare to do anything to you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smirked, lifting up the textbook and flipping to the specified chapter.
Fluent English sputtered from her mouth, one that had a hint of an American ent. It waspletely different from the teacher¡¯s Chinese-styled English. It was so pleasant to the ears that the ssmates were stunned.
¡°Teacher, are you referring to this paragraph? Then, the trantion would be¡ ¡±
After that, she did a perfect trantion on the portion that she had just read.
Looking at her, the teacher was also dazed. Her face looked even more awful, as though being humiliated.
¡°Teacher, may I sit down?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked as she smiled.
¡°Okay, sit down,¡± the teacher replied reluctantly, her face pale.
Yu Zhe looked at her with admiration and remarked, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, you are really awesome! Why is your English so good? Your speaking is marvelous! One would think that you were a foreigner if one didn¡¯t look at you.¡±
Blinking her eyes in a pretentious manner, Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°Didn¡¯t I mention it to you? I came back from America, and I used to study in the best and prestigious American high school.¡±
¡°Wow!¡± the students who were eavesdropping eximed in unison.

Chapter 21: Yin Shaojie, Your Wife is Looking for You
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao was feeling bored after ss. She decided to look for Yin Shaojie to find out what kind of carefree life he was leading.
Upon reaching the Year Two school block, she didn¡¯t have to ponder it; she immediately searched for ss S.
Regarding what Yu Zhe had just said, she already knew.
Though she didn¡¯t know what Yin Shaojie¡¯s grades were, judging on how he had been fooling around with girls most of the time, his results couldn¡¯t be any good. However, the Yin family was an upper-ss family and ultra rich. Needless to say, he would be in ss S.
Moreover, Yin Shaojie was such a prideful person; he wouldn¡¯t allow himself to be anything but be in the best ss.
In a while, she managed to locate the ss ss Sroom. Just behind the door, she peered in and there indeed was that fellow, Yin Shaojie.
How detestable! He was actually embracing a girl and chatting away!
They were, after all, still engaged to each other. It should be normal to feel jealous, right?
Mu Xiaoxiao was trying to reason with herself. It wasn¡¯t as if her jealousy was due to liking Yin Shaojie. It was purely due to her current status as a fianc¨¦e that she felt jealous.
This fellow was simply atrocious. He obviously knew that it was her first day of ss; being unfamiliar with the schoolpound and not knowing the things around, he still hadn¡¯t offered his help. He simply continued to woo girls.
This really infuriated her!
Mu Xiaoxiao gave him a wicked look and cunningly smiled:an eye for an eye, you shall see.
She retreated to the staircase, held up a guy with one hand, lightly smiled at him, and with her sweet little voice pleaded, ¡°Hi pal, can you help me get Yin Shaojie from ss S? Just tell him that his wife is here to look for him. Please.¡±
The boy was a bespectacled bookworm. Mesmerized, he foolishly nodded and said, ¡°Oh sure, okay, I will go now.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao peeped from the corner of the wall and saw the bookworm enter the ss and exim, ¡°Yin Shaojie, your wife is looking for you!¡±
The originally noisy and chaotic ssroom suddenly quietened down, and it was as if one could even hear a pin drop.
Mu Xiaoxiao could imagine the eye-popping look of the students; she covered her mouth, trying to control herughter.
Within minutes, Yin Shaojie was seen walking over with an ashen expression.
Hiding behind the wall, she waved at him indicatively.
Yin Shaojie gave a ¡®I knew it was you¡¯ expression. He walked over and asked, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, I know it is you. Are you here to find trouble?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao jumped out behind the wall; though she was shorter, she raised her little chin up and retorted, ¡°You are horrible Yin Shaojie. All you do is go after girls and never care about me. You just wait. Tonight, back at the Yin house, I willin to Mama Yin!¡±
Both of her arms were around her chest; she wasn¡¯t fearful of him. The person who would be at a disadvantage was him.
Yin Shaojie sighed helplessly and said, ¡°My deardy, what do you want?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao took a nce over his back. Indeed, the girl who he had been embracing just now had followed after him. She was walking in their direction.
She sniggered,ughed naughtily, and said to him, ¡°You have made me angry; to appease me, you must listen to my instructions.¡±
Yin Shaojie knew her well enough. Just by looking at her, he knew that this childish girl was up to no good.
¡°What do you want me to do?¡± With his single palm pressing onto the wall and the other hand in his pocket, he looked at her in a couldn¡¯t-care-less manner.
Looking at his stylish posture, Mu Xiaoxiao snorted.
¡°Very simple. Lunge forward now, hug me, and peck me on my face. Quickly!¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Yin Shaojie narrows his eyes; he didn¡¯t have to look back to know that there were many people who hade out and were peeping. When they heard that his wife was looking for him, all of them had been stunned. They were curious what this was all about.
At that moment, if he were to get close and intimate with Mu Xiaoxiao, wouldn¡¯t that affirm that Mu Xiaoxiao was his wife?
¡°No way in public. Even if you are not embarrassed, I still need to preserve face,¡± he rejected.
Mu Xiaoxiao was incensed; this fellow was not listening to her.
With great dissatisfaction, she pouted her lips and grumbled, ¡°Yin Shaojie, you have changed! You weren¡¯t like this in the past; whatever I asked you to do, you wouldn¡¯t reject me. Now just because of another girl, you don¡¯t care about me anymore? Fine, we have known each other for many years; yet, you are ending our rtionship so flippantly?¡±
Previously, whatever she had wanted him to do, though he would always say he didn¡¯t wish to, he would still do it for her without her knowing.
So when she looked at him now and saw that he no longer cared about her feelings, she felt extremely disturbed; it was as though there was a stone weighing down her heart.
¡°I hate you!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was so mad that her eyes welled up with tears. She turned around and wanted to leave.
Yin Shaojie heaved a sigh, grabbed her, and pulled her into his embrace. After hugging her tightly, he said helplessly, ¡°Will this do? I really don¡¯t know what to do with you! What¡¯s the point with your prank? Later, I will still have to exin this to my girlfriend. It¡¯s frustrating, okay?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao leaned into his embrace. A boy¡¯s embrace was very different from a female¡¯s embrace. It felt warm, and the chest was firm.
She lightly snorted, ¡°You care so much about your girlfriend, huh? I am your fianc¨¦e. Can¡¯t you coax me a little?¡±
She actually hadn¡¯t done anything wrong. She was, after all, his wife. What was wrong with looking for him to have a chat or a hug?
¡°You obviously know that I hate exining things the most. This is what vexes me!¡± Yin Shaojie retorted.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up and chuckled. ¡°You don¡¯t have to exin. I hear that you always change girlfriends; after a few days, it will no longer be this girl, so what¡¯s there to exin?¡±
Yin Shaojie lowered his head and pondered something as if he had been caught off guard by herment, yet it was unclear what he was thinking.
Ruffling her hair and messing it, he said, ¡°Alright, now that I have hugged you, you should go back to your ss quickly. I shall look for you in the afternoon for lunch.¡±
¡°No can do. I¡¯m not going to have lunch with you. Today, I got to know a super hunk! Later, I shall look for him to have lunch together.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao left his embrace as though she had finished making use of him and felt smug.
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes momentarily and asked, ¡°A super hunk? Within the whole school, the most handsome one is already standing right in front of you, yet you are not going to eat with me but with another guy?¡±
¡°Oh¡ are you jealous?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao responded while smiling.
¡°What¡¯s there to be jealous about? I just feel like you have a problem with your taste.¡± Yin Shaojie was obviously unhappy. Staring at her with his good-looking eyes, his mind was more absorbed with the super hunk she imed to have met. Who could this person be?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s gaze drifted to his back. She reaffirmed that the girl was indeed fuming. Feeling smug, she smiled widely, patted his chest, and purposely lifted his chin up with her finger. Grinning impishly, she added, ¡°I won¡¯t apany you in the afternoon; I will take you to ask tonight. I¡¯m leaving! Bye!¡±
With that, she skipped away.

Thest lesson was Chinese. The lesson was simply a hypnotism lesson for Mu Xiaoxiao; it kept causing her to doze off. Holding her chin with her hand, her head bobbed up and down like a pecking chick.
Inparison, Yu Zhe, who was seated in front of her, was really attentive; he was even asked by the teacher to answer questions.
She finally endured until the end of the lesson. After the teacher walked out of the ssroom, Mu Xiaoxiao stretched.
¡°Geez, that sleep was so ufortable¡ I wonder if I can bring along a pillow. I almost sprained my neck.¡± Both of her hands were supporting her neck, turning left and right, stretching her neck muscles.
Yu Zhe turned around to look at her, not knowing to cry or tough. He then said, ¡°You know, you slept so soundly just now. I was almost infected by you.¡±
Pressing her palm against the desk, Mu Xiaoxiao stood up and said, ¡°School has finally ended! I am so hungry. Let¡¯s grab a bite. Where¡¯s the canteen? Is the food nice?¡±
¡°You eat after you have just slept; Mu Xiaoxiao, were you born in the year of the Pig?¡± Yu Zhe mocked. Having chatted the whole morning, the both of them had be more acquainted and were just like friends.
¡°You are the one who was born in the year of the pig! It¡¯s already noon, so of course I have to eat. Aren¡¯t you going to eat too? Hurry up and take me to the canteen. It¡¯s your treat.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao did not stand on ceremony with others once she became acquainted with them.
Besides, she knew that Yu Zhe came from a rich family, so treating her wouldn¡¯t cost him much.
¡°Alright, alright, I shall treat you. Our canteens are also divided into different areas; the usual students will eat at the inexpensive ones. For us, we usually go to the luxurious areas. Later, I shall take you there and rmend some nice dishes to you.¡± Yu Zhe packed up his stuff on the desk and stood up.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly eximed, ¡°Oh! I forgot I have to look for someone!¡±
¡°Who are you looking for?¡±
Before Yu Zhe could finish asking, he was pulled by her and ran out.
¡°Go, go, go! You are more familiar with the school, so take me there; where are the Year Three sses?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao also couldn¡¯t care less that others would think that they were couples. She was afraid that if she were to bete, Lu Yichen would have left.
Yu Zhe couldn¡¯t help but look at his hand, which was held by her; his expression seemed amused. He asked, ¡°Why do you want to go to the Year Three sses? You know someone there?¡±
¡°Of course. Otherwise, why would I want to go there? Are you silly?¡±
Yu Zhe was dismayed. He red at her and muttered, ¡°¡ Mu Xiaoxiao, you have a nasty tongue!¡±
¡°Haven¡¯t I said not to call me Mu Xiaoxiao? Call me Xiaoxiao. Calling me by my first name and my surname is because you either hate me or you are my enemy,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, correcting.
She didn¡¯t like it when others called her by her first name and surname; apart from Yin Shaojie, everyone else was her enemy.
However, Yin Shaojie was different. They had been this way since they were young, so she didn¡¯t mind. Sometimes, when she lost her temper, she would also call him by his full name.
¡°So Xiaoxiao, which Year Three ss do you want to go?¡±
¡°Year Three ss S. Where is it?¡±
As he was being dragged, Yu Zhe stopped in his track and asked curiously, ¡°Year Three ss S? Whom are you looking for?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao beamed and said, ¡°Lu Yichen. Do you know him?¡±
She was also curious if Lu Yichen was really that famous in school.
Yu Zhe looked astonished and asked, ¡°Lu Yichen? The person you are looking for is him?! How are the both of you rted?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled, ¡°If I say it was a boyfriend-girlfriend rtionship, would you believe me?¡±

Yu Zhe was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out. ¡°How could that be? His mysterious girlfriend is actually you?!¡±
¡°So he really has a girlfriend¡!¡± Upon realizing the truth, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but feel disappointed. It was such a pity.
Yu Zhe¡¯s ear was sharp enough to hear her. He asked, ¡°What do you mean by this? So you are not his girlfriend?¡±
¡°I was just teasing you, and you couldn¡¯t even tell; how are you going to hang out with me in the future? Reflect upon yourself!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao had lied and still had the face to me others as foolish.
¡°Geez! So you were lying to me, to think that I really thought you were his girlfriend¡¡± Yu Zhe looked dismayed and red at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was thinking that he would be her sidekick in the future; she felt an obligation to guide him and said, ¡°When you are with me in the future, you must be able to differentiate when I¡¯m joking and when I¡¯m serious, understand?¡±
¡°Okay, I understand,¡± Yu Zhe replied nkly. However, he soon responded, ¡°No! Why should I know about this?¡±
¡°Okay, okay, tell me quickly, what¡¯s this thing about Lu Yichen¡¯s mysterious girlfriend? Is his girlfriend not from our school? Why is she so mysterious?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao interrupted his question and changed the topic back to Lu Yichen.
She was very curious about this.
She recalled meeting Lu Yichen in the morning at the cake shop. He bought thest piece of strawberry cake, and she had thought that it had been for his girlfriend. Was that not the case?
Yu Zhe shrugged his shoulders and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know. I already said that he had a mysterious girlfriend, meaning no one knows who his girlfriend is. It¡¯s only hearsay that he has a girlfriend of many years. That¡¯s all. Whether she is from our school, that is also unclear.¡±
¡°Oh so mysterious?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, surprised. She was bbergasted. An outstanding boy like Lu Yichen would surely have a lot of admirers going after him; under such watchful eyes, would it still be possible to keep his girlfriend under wraps?
She recalled that when she was in America, every secret about the school hunk was dug out; it could be terrifying when girls were crazy with someone.
Yu Zhe asked, ¡°You don¡¯t even know about this. Are you really his friend? Could it be¡ you like him too and want to go after him?¡±
¡°I am not so hical. I won¡¯t target someone who already has a girlfriend. I really regard him only as a friend. Okay, how do we get to Year Three ss S?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked as they reached the front of the school block.
¡°It¡¯s upstairs. Follow me,¡± Yu Zhe said, leading the way.
Mu Xiaoxiao again couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Is he very famous in school? Why is that so?¡±
Yu Zhe replied, ¡°He is indeed very famous. I heard that he¡¯s a genius with an IQ of 200. The school head-hunted him from the provincial Yi Zhong High School. I heard that not only are his school fees waived, but the school also gives him a significant schrship yearly. People spend money to attend school. For him, he makes money attending school! Besides, he always tops the exams in the entire country, bringing a lot of glory to the school; even the Principal backs him up.¡±
Though Mu Xiaoxiao was already aware that Yu Yichen was super smart, she hadn¡¯t imagined him to be so remarkable.
As they were talking, the duo arrived at Year Three ss S.
¡°Luckily, the ss just ended. Perhaps he¡¯s still around.¡± Yu Zhe led her to the entrance of the ss. Mu Xiaoxiao had taken the initiative to pull someone aside and asked, ¡°Is Lu Yichen still around? Can you help me ask him out?¡±

The boy who was pulled aside studied her from head to toe. With an air ofplete understanding, he said, ¡°Another one looking for him to confess? You¡¯rete. He¡¯s been called out by another girl and is probably being gifted a love letter somewhere. Come back tomorrow but remember to be earlier. That girl was already waiting outside the ssroom even before ss had ended.¡±
He waved at her and left.
Mu Xiaoxiao was left rooted to the spot and didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. She had wanted to say that she was Lu Yichen¡¯s friend and not someone who was here to make a confession, but the boy had left before she could exin it to him.
She shrugged. ¡°It looks like I¡¯m not fated to have a meal with him today. Yu Zhe, let¡¯s go and eat on our own!¡±
Yu Zhe seemed to have already predicted such a situation. ¡°Before, I¡¯ve only heard stories about girls queuing up to profess their love for him every day, but now I believe them.¡±
¡°That¡¯s totally normal. He¡¯s not only handsome but also extremely intelligent and has such a gentle demeanor¡ªof course girls will go crazy over him!¡± As Mu Xiaoxiao dered this, she felt a little rueful. Someone like Lu Yichen was extraordinarily remarkable and someone she should be friends with.
Upon hearing what she said, Yu Zhe made a bbergasted expression as though what she said was a fantastic story. He said unbelievingly, ¡°Gentle? Did you get it wrong? Lu Yichen is infamous for his haughtiness¡ªdespite so many girls confessing to him every day, he has never given them any consideration.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a while before shaking her head. ¡°No, I don¡¯t think so. I think he¡¯s quite gentle¡ªhe¡¯s definitely not haughty as you say he is,¡± she dered.
¡°He¡¯s only gentle with you then.¡± However, Yu Zhe was still in disbelief. He had only known of the cold and haughty side of Lu Yichen and never heard anyone describe him as gentle.
Mu Xiaoxiao drew back the corners of her mouth and smiled, letting her imagination run wild. ¡°Really? Could it be that I¡¯m special to him?¡±
Yu Zhe felt a headacheing when he saw her expression. He asked, ¡°What do we do now? Are we going to the cafeteria to eat? I¡¯m hungry.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go. We¡¯re going to eat of course; I¡¯m hungry too. I wanted to find Lu Yichen to eat together, but it¡¯s a pity that he¡¯s not here. It¡¯s okay though. I¡¯ll look for him next time.¡±
She said this as some thoughts ran through her mind while grinning madly.
Yu Zhe couldn¡¯t help but ridicule her, saying, ¡°You should just drop it. I don¡¯t think you actually know him ¡ª you just want to get acquainted with him, right? I¡¯ll advise you to give up. A person such as Lu Yichen isn¡¯t someone you should want to be friends with.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not going to exin it to you; we¡¯re going to eat! Where¡¯s the cafeteria? Why is this school so big? My legs hurt from walking.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao started toin after walking just a little.
Actually, her school in America was also quite big, but since she had walked a fair bit this afternoon and the day before, her legs were really aching now.
Yu Zhe suspected that she was pretending, but because her pinched faced seemed to reflect true difort, his heart softened. ¡°Do you want me to carry you?¡± he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to agree but stopped. ¡°How far are we from the cafeteria?¡± she asked.
¡°It¡¯s not that far ¡ª it¡¯s just around the corner.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao said resentfully, ¡°Never mind then¡ We¡¯re going to get there soon anyway. Come on then.¡±
If it was still far, she wouldn¡¯t mind letting Yu Zhe carry her. She rejected the idea to avoid weird stares and because it was so close.

They finally arrived at the cafeteria after a few minutes.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a cool breeze as she walked into the cafeteria. To her surprise, it was air-conditioned. This cafeteria was deserving of a school for the rich!
¡°Where are we eating?¡± she asked.
¡°The upper-ss area I was talking about is over there. This is the ordinary area. If you¡¯d like, we can go up to the second floor. There¡¯s a restaurant there, and you can order a variety of dishes,¡± Yu Zhe said and pointed, introducing her to the ce.
¡°Let¡¯s not go up. We¡¯ll see what we can eat below. It smells quite good anyway.¡±
As they were searching for a ce to sit, they found their ssmates, who waved them over. They went to them.
Mu Xiaoxiao could neither recognize her ssmates nor remember all of their names after only knowing them for one afternoon. She could only smile at them instead.
A boy said to them teasingly, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, Yu Zhe, why are you together? It¡¯s only your first afternoon, and you¡¯ve already fallen in love with each other?¡±
The other ssmates smiled in ¡®understanding¡¯ and belted out, ¡°Couple! Couple!¡±
A few people shouted this together. Their voices rang out clearly through the cafeteria and attracted the looks of people nearby.
When Yin Shaojie entered, he also heard the noise. He looked towards the source unconsciously, and to his surprise, he spotted Mu Xiaoxiao and Yu Zhe, who was beside her.
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes. Was this boy the ¡®gorgeous hunk¡¯ she had mentioned? Haha, this? Gorgeous?
Internally, he was looking down on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s taste.
Previously, he had been a little bugged by her words, but seeing the boy¡¯s features, all his concerns turned to smoke. This creature was no match against him.
Yin Shaojie snaked his arms around the girl beside him and went upstairs.
He had always been the center of attention. When he appeared, the girls in Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ss were naturally drawn to him. Voicesced with infatuation, they eximed, ¡°That¡¯s Young Master Jie! He¡¯s going up! Should we go up to eat too?¡±
¡°Young Master Jie is so handsome. Even him merely raising his hand exudes such a noble aura. No wonder he¡¯s the most handsome guy in our school.¡±
Hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her brows. She could stand the girls¡¯ starry-eyed infatuations no longer.
She said, ¡°He¡¯s the most handsome guy in our school? Isn¡¯t there anyone else who¡¯s better looking than him? I feel that Lu Yichen from Year Three is really handsome too!¡±
Hearing her deration, a few girls turned to re at her. Yu Zhe quickly tugged on her shirt and whispered in her ear, ¡°You should be more careful with your words. They¡¯re crazy fans of Young Master Jie. They¡¯ll go out and get you if you criticize him even a little!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She looked as though she had swallowed a fly as she asked, dumbfounded, ¡°Crazy fans? Even that guy has crazy fans?¡±
She really wanted to ask if these girls were blind.
If they wanted to have crushes, they should like a boy who was as handsome and intelligent as Lu Yichen!
Yu Zhe looked at her in disbelief. He felt that her contemptuous attitude towards Yin Shaojie was the weird thing here.
¡°Xiaoxiao, don¡¯t you think Yin Shaojie is very handsome? Is he not your type?¡± he asked with an air of both curiosity and iprehension.
Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged. ¡°Is he really that handsome? I don¡¯t think so!¡±
She had actually stuck her tongue out at him in her head as she said the words, which she did not quite mean.
Even though she didn¡¯t want to admit it, Yin Shaojie¡¯s face was actually good-looking. It was hard to find someone who was more handsome than him.

Even though she didn¡¯t want to admit it, Yin Shaojie¡¯s face was actually good-looking. It was hard to find someone who was more handsome than him.
But it did not mean that she needed to go crazy over his looks.
She had grown up looking at his handsome face. Could it be that she had developed an immunity to it?
Mu Xiaoxiao reasoned in her head like this, but didn¡¯t realize that she hadn¡¯t seen Yin Shaojie a lot recently. She also hadn¡¯t realized that when boys grew up, their silhouettes sharpened, and they would give off a totally different vibe.
¡°Humph! We¡¯re going upstairs to eat!¡± Those girls stood up quickly, red at Mu Xiaoxiao, and left the table to go up.
Yu Zhe shot a look at Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°See, I told you to keep your voice down. If you go around making enemies like that on the first day of school, all the girls in your ss might not want to hang out with you anymore.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao objected to this and said, ¡°I hate being hypocritical. Must I go along and agree with them? It¡¯s boring to make friends this way.¡±
Anyway, she much preferred to make friends with people like Lu Yichen.
Those girls had turned hostile once she mentioned that she didn¡¯t like Yin Shaojie. It wouldn¡¯t be meaningful to be friends with them at all, and she hated the invidiousparisons and hypocrisy between girls.
¡°Alright. What do you want to eat? I¡¯ll get it for you,¡± Yu Zhe said considerately.
¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Noticing the suggestive looks bestowed by the guys who stayed behind, Mu Xiaoxiao sighed speechlessly. These people were some. Must they ship every guy and girl who hung out together?
As they came back with their food, some of the guys had already finished their food. Before they left, they said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, you should just go out with Yu Zhe. You look good together.¡±
They thenughed with great amusement.
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at them but did not want to humiliate Yu Zhe. She felt that her friendship with Yu Zhe was a good one after spending half the day with him.
She hung an arm around Yu Zhe¡¯s shoulders and shot them a look. ¡°Yu Zhe is a good guy, and I¡¯ll consider it. Stop being so nosy; it¡¯s affecting us. Shoo off if you¡¯re done eating.¡±
Bearing in mind that they were all ssmates, she didn¡¯t want to sound too unpleasant. If not, her vicious tongue would have offended all of them already.
¡°We¡¯ll go off first then. Enjoy your meal slowly.¡±
After they left, Yu Zhe turned towards Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, ¡°Was what you said just now true?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had long since retracted her arm and started eating again. Shooting a nce at him, she said, ¡°I¡¯ve already told you ¡ª you must know how to differentiate when I mean what I say and when I don¡¯t.¡±
Yu Zhe¡¯s face fell. ¡°So you didn¡¯t mean it?¡±
He had believed that she really thought that he was not bad and would consider dating him¡
He suddenly felt a pang of sadness. Grasping his chest, he made an expression of sadness.
¡°You¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to say more, but just then, she spied Yin Shaojie walking down from the second floor, looking over at her with a dissatisfied expression.
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him and studied the girl he was embracing.
Humph, it was one thing to cuddle another girl with his legitimate wife right in front of him, but it was another to make faces at her. She couldn¡¯t care enough to think about him.
She ignored Yin Shaojie¡¯s existence and looked away from him. Turning to Yu Zhe, she smiled sweetly, picked up a piece of red braised pork, and moved it towards him.
With that sweet smile still on her face, she said in an authoritative tone, ¡°Ah, open your mouth.¡±
Yu Zhe looked at her, his head full of questions. ttered, he asked, ¡°So you actually meant what you said just now?¡±
Chapter 28 - So You Do Like Lu Yichen
Chapter 28: So You Do Like Lu Yichen
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Hurry up and open your mouth.¡± Even though Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was still the picture of sweetness, her voice sounded impatient this time.
Yu Zhe smiled too. Opening his mouth, he leaned forward and ate the red braised pork she was offering.
¡°Is it yummy?¡±
¡°It is!¡± Yu Zhe nodded. Whatever a pretty girl fed him was of course delicious.
¡°Then I want to eat this from your te. Hurry up and feed me,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao urged, her peripheral vision sweeping across Yin Shaojie¡¯s general direction uncontrobly.
Sure enough, Yin Shaojie was still looking at her as he walked with his arm around his girlfriend.
¡°What do you want to eat? The fish? Or the beef?¡± Yu Zhe asked.
¡°Anything! Hurry up!¡±
Yu Zhe picked up a piece of meat and moved it towards her mouth. ¡°Ah~~~¡±
At this moment, Yin Shaojie had already left the cafeteria and stopped looking towards Mu Xiaoxiao.
Seeing that he left, Mu Xiaoxiao lost her desire to act. Pushing Yu Zhe¡¯s chopsticks away, she said sulkily, ¡°Eat it yourself. I don¡¯t want it anymore.¡±
Yu Zhe looked at her in confusion. Why had her attitude changed so fast? She was being so intimate with him not long ago.
¡°Xiaoxiao, what¡¯s wrong? You don¡¯t like fish? How about some steak then?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him. Speaking slowly and enunciating every single word, she said, ¡°I didn¡¯t mean what I said just now ¡ª it was all to protect your ego as a man, understand? It¡¯s impossible for us to get together, and if I want a boyfriend, I¡¯ll look for someone like Lu Yichen.¡±
Of course, she wasn¡¯t looking down on Yu Zhe. Her standards were just high.
Yu Zhe looked disappointed. ¡°So you do like Lu Yichen. You lied to me just now and said that you were just friends. I¡¯ve already told you that you should just give up because he already has a girlfriend! Plus, he has a really good rtionship with her, and no one can break them. Do you know how many girls have confessed to him already? They¡¯ve all gotten rejected!¡±
¡°Shut up and eat!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t be bothered to exin things to him. She had no infatuation with him at all, only admiration. She had her limits and wouldn¡¯t chase after someone who was already attached. She only wanted to be friends with him.
After school.
Yu Zhe apanied her as they walked to the school gates. His driver was here to pick him up, and he asked her if he could give her a lift.
Mu Xiaoxiao waved her hand. ¡°No thanks, I can go home by myself. Go quickly. I¡¯ll see you tomorrow!¡± she said.
Yu Zhe was still unaware of her status and assumed that she had gotten into ss S based solely on her academics from her brilliance in English ss. He didn¡¯t associate her with wealth and thought that she was going to take the public bus.
He pulled her again and said, ¡°Just let me give you a ride. I¡¯ve got a car here, and it is really convenient. It¡¯ll be hard to fit if you take the public bus.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t say that she wanted to look for Yin Shaojie to drive her home, so she went along with what he said and replied, ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with taking public transport if you¡¯re used to it. Enough, stop being so long-winded. Get in the car quickly and go! Don¡¯t disturb me!¡±
She pushed him as she said this, stuffed him into the car, closed the door, and let his driver drive him away.
After the car had gone a distance away, Mu Xiaoxiao went back to the school gates discreetly and dialed Yin Shaojie¡¯s number.
Luckily, it connected on the first ring. She had been worried that Yin Shaojie wouldn¡¯t pick up her call.
¡°Hey, where are you?¡±
¡°I¡¯m outside. What do you want?¡± The howl of the wind could be heard on Yin Shaojie¡¯s side. It sounded like he was driving.
Mu Xiaoxiao hadn¡¯t thought that he would have left school so fast, and she said in a huff, ¡°You¡¯ve gone back already? Why didn¡¯t you wait for me?¡±
Since he was the one who drove her to school, it was obvious that he should have known to drive her back home too.

Yin Shaojie chuckled coldly, ¡°Don¡¯t you have a gorgeous hunk beside you? Can¡¯t you just ask him to send you home? It¡¯s a good opportunity for him to get your favor.¡±
Pursing her lips, Mu Xiaoxiao retorted, ¡°I don¡¯t care where you are right now, but you had bettere over quickly. Take me home right now!¡±
She was very certain that Yin Shaojie was ignoring her because he had sent his girlfriend home.
Thinking about it increased her anger. ¡°Yin Shaojie, didn¡¯t you say that we were going to go to your house tonight? How can you abandon me here? I¡¯ll tell your mum that you prioritized your girlfriend over me and ignored me!¡± she said to the phone again.
¡°Haha, stillining to your elders? Are you a three-year-old?¡± he said in a mocking tone.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt miserable. She squatted by the road, her mood downcast. ¡°Yin Shaojie,e here quickly¡¡±
Just as she finished that sentence, a sports car stopped in front of her.
Eh?
Wasn¡¯t this the sports car that Yin Shaojie had used to drive her to school in the morning?
Could it be¡
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head. Yin Shaojie was right before her. Hand outstretched, he pulled her up. Holding back a smile, he said, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, how immature of you! With you squatting like this, those who don¡¯t know better would mistake you for an elementary school kid from next door.¡±
¡°Yin! Shao! Jie!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao swatted at him with her hand, but her face was all smiles again.
It turned out that this guy had lied to her on purpose. He must have been nearby watching her when he had said that he was outside to embarrass her.
Shooting a re at him, she asked, ¡°Were you hiding and watching me in secret?¡±
¡°So what if I was?¡± Yin Shaojie pinched her nose with his hand. ¡°I thought you would be abducted on your first day of school. Luckily, you aren¡¯t that dumb,¡± he said, looking a little annoyed.
¡°How mean.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. A sudden revtion hit her and she said, ¡°So you actually saw it just now and thought that I would get into Yu Zhe¡¯s car? That¡¯s impossible!¡±
Regardless of the fact that she had only known Yu Zhe for a day, she had wanted to hide her identity and not give away that she was living with Yin Shaojie.
¡°Okay enough. Let¡¯s get into the car first.¡± Yin Shaojie tugged at her arm and pulled her into the car. Putting his shades back on, he headed to the driver¡¯s seat.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at him. Grinning, she said, ¡°Trying to act cool by wearing shades? Gimme!¡±
She reached out to snatch them away.
¡°Oi!¡± Yin Shaojie shouted. He had just started the engine only to get his sses stolen, and could only re at her helplessly.
Mu Xiaoxiao held the shades on her face in ce with her finger. ¡°This is too big ¡ª my face is too small,¡± sheined.
The shades kept sliding off the bridge of her nose unstably.
¡°Your actions are hrious. The shades don¡¯t suit you at all. It¡¯s so unbing ¡ª like a kid trying on adult clothes. You should just sit there quietly and return them to me.¡± Yin Shaojie waited till she was preupied before snatching them back with one long arm.
He donned his shades in one nimble motion ¡ª a dashing gesture.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared in awe.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Yin Shaojie noticed that she was behaving weirdly and turned to look at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao averted her gaze quickly. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. How long will it take to reach your family house from here? Is it far?¡± she asked in an effort to distract him.
There was a quick change in topic.
Yin Shaojie did notprehend the situation, but perhaps he was ustomed to the entric moods of girls, for he did not venture to guess it. ¡°It¡¯s not very far; about half an hour¡¯s ride,¡± he answered.

¡°Oh, then concentrate on your driving and stop looking at me. I don¡¯t want to get into an ident.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked as if she didn¡¯t trust his driving skills and looked at him with loathing.
Yin Shaojie was annoyed. ¡°You dare to look down on my driving skills? Did you know they hail me as the car god? No one could overtake me, even on Mt Akima 1 !¡±
¡°Brag on then. I wouldn¡¯t know if what you¡¯re saying is true anyway. Continue bragging, and don¡¯t stop.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was used to bantering with him, and she was insistent on shooting him down from his lofty pedestal.
¡°Sure, just you wait. I¡¯ll bring you to watch me race someday, and you¡¯ll get to be amazed at how pro I am then,¡± retorted Yin Shaojie.
¡°Racing? Sure! I¡¯d love that!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked as if she had seeded in ying him to her desires and provoked him to suggest a y-date with her.
Yin Shaojie gave her a sideways nce. ¡°Why do I feel as though I have been duped?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao sidled over. Grinning at him, she snatched his shades from his face. She pointed at the road ahead andmented, ¡°Drive carefully, and don¡¯t lose focus. My precious life is in your hands.¡±
She then put on the shades triumphantly. With a finger on the bridge of the shades, she moved it up and down yfully.
Yin Shaojie shook his head wordlessly. He decided to stop humoring her.
A whileter, they finally reached the Yin residence.
As the metal gates opened for their car, the domestic help stood respectfully in a row to wee them.
¡°Young Master Jie, wee home.¡±
¡°Miss Mu, wee back.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao removed her shades and put it back in the car. Getting out of the car, she waved to the domestic helpers. ¡°Hello everyone, it¡¯s been a long time!¡±
Yin Shaojie got out of the car as well. He took her hand and led her in. ¡°You¡¯re some,¡± he muttered under his breath.
As they stood before the door, the domestic helpers opened it for them.
The two of them stepped inside. A few ¡°pops¡± rang out suddenly and shocked them, and streamersnded on their bodies.
¡°You¡¯re back! Congrattions on your engagement!¡± the crowd in the house cheered excitedly.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie stared before them stupidly.
Mama Yin strode over and hugged Mu Xiaoxiao, kissing her on her face. ¡°Precious child, you¡¯ll be my daughter-inw soon!¡± she crowed delightedly.
Yin Shaojie looked around the room. Not only was the living room decorated with celebratory props, but there were also many invited guests who were dressed ceremoniously.
Furrowing his brow, he asked his mother, ¡°What is the meaning of this?¡±
Smiling, Mama Yin replied, ¡°Today¡¯s your engagement party! Anyway, as the saying goes, carpe diem! And thus, we¡¯ve decided to hold the event today. My precious child,e over and look at this beautiful cake I made for your party. I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll like it.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao did not know whether tough or cry. Dragged over by Mama Yin, she saw that there was an amazing ten-tiered cake that looked like a princess¡¯s castle. It was the cake of every girl¡¯s dreams.
Papa Yin patted Yin Shaojie¡¯s shoulders and said gravely, ¡°Take care of Xiaoxiao properly in the future. Her dad has given her away to you; don¡¯t let her down.¡±
Grandpa Yin nodded in agreement. His usually severe face had been transformed into a smiling one. ¡°To see you and Xiaoxiao wed would be my greatest satisfaction.¡±
Yin Shaojie was speechless.
Was no one going to ask for his opinion on whether he wanted to marry Mu Xiaoxiao?
However, he did not dare to oppose the engagement in front of therge crowd while under the strict and watchful gaze of Grandpa Yin.

At the engagement party, the Yin family officially announced the engagement of Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao.
In order to have them cultivate feelings, they suspended the wedding temporarily. Anyway, both of them had not reached the legal age for marriage.
When Yin Shaojie let out a sigh of relief, Mama Yin grinned and said, ¡°When Xiaoxiao is 18, you will be able to marry her overseas.¡±
Yin Shaojie rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Mu Xiaoxiao pulled him aside. ¡°Do you really not want to marry me that much?¡± she said unhappily.
Yin Shaojie smiled sinisterly. Wrapping his arm around her shoulder, he pulled her close, his warm breath tickling her earlobe.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, could it be that you¡¯ve been having a secret crush on me? Is that why you want to marry me so badly?¡± he breathed.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart had actually sped up from their closeness, but hearing these words, she shot him a re. Pushing his head aside, she said, ¡°Only ghosts would have a secret crush on you! I¡¯ve also been forced into this, okay?¡±
¡°That¡¯s great then. We can rebel against this together. Your dad loves you so much; surely he won¡¯t force you to marry someone you don¡¯t like?¡± Yin Shaojie frowned at thest sentence.
Does this girl really harbor no feelings for him?
Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t narcissistic, but because he was surrounded by a harem of girls who adored him, he had the potential to be narcissistic.
He couldn¡¯t believe that this wretch of a girl had no feelings for him at all.
Mu Xiaoxiao, aware that there was some idea brewing in his mind, chuckled and said, ¡°My apologies, I can¡¯t y along with you. No matter what happens, our engagement is now a reality. You should just give up and ept your fate.¡±
¡°Have you given up?¡± Yin Shaojie was suspicious. He narrowed his eyes and studied her, feeling that she was concealing something from him.
Mu Xiaoxiao spread her arms out and shrugged. ¡°I¡¯ve already epted my fate. What are you worrying about? We have to wait till I¡¯m 18 to get married anyway, and that date¡¯s still far away!¡±
Anything could happen in this period.
Yin Shaojie took her in his arms casually. ¡°I¡¯m not worried at all. If we get married, so be it; I¡¯ll just have a wife, and nothing bad wille out of it,¡± he said.
As he said this, his handsome face moved close, as though he wanted to kiss her.
Mu Xiaoxiao shrunk from his approach and avoided his lips. Blushing slightly, she cautioned, ¡°Oi! Don¡¯t fool around!¡±
¡°Hehe,¡± Yin Shaojieughed evilly. ¡°You call this fooling around? Mu Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re underestimating men. I don¡¯t think you even understand them at all. You will be shocked when you see how men really fool around then. Try me.¡±
With that said, he pped the wall behind her with his palm and closed in on her. Both their faces were extremely close, and their lips would have touched if he had moved any closer¡
¡°Try you?¡± Up till then, Mu Xiaoxiao had been a little flustered, but gathering her wits, she struck back. Focusing her gaze on him, she aimed a swift knee at his crotch.
Yin Shaojie dodged that attack dexterously. Catching her leg, he hoisted it up and wrapped it around his waist.
Tutting, he said, ¡°I didn¡¯t think that you would take so much initiative, my dear wife. Since you¡¯re so keen on me, then I won¡¯t hold back too¡¡±
His long and elegant fingers brushed across her cheeks. Lifting her chin, he prepared to kiss her.
¡°Yin Shaojie!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao could only shout this as she reddened to the tips of her ears.
Yin Shaojie chuckled, pleased with himself, and said, ¡°Say ¡®You¡¯re so strong, milord,¡¯ and I¡¯ll release you.¡±
¡°No! You¡¯re so d*mned gross!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pouted stubbornly.

¡°What is¡¡± Yin Shaojie was about to continue teasing her when he felt a heavy gaze on him. He became aware of his surroundings and both of them looked behind him.
The entire crowd was practically gawking at them, admiring their disy of young love.
Goodness gracious!
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face turned hot. Lost in their own banter, they had forgotten that they were still at the engagement party. They had acted out a public disy of affection for all to watch. This was a disaster!
She pushed him away hastily and ran upstairs.
Theughter of her elders rang out behind her as she left.
¡
¡°It¡¯s all your fault! Trying to kabedon [2. Kabedon refers to the action of pping a wall fiercely, which produces the sound ¡°don¡±, usually done by a man hitting his hand on a wall, pinning the woman in the process.] me in a public ce!¡±
In the car, Mu Xiaoxiao med Yin Shaojie. When she became embarrassed from thinking about the incident, she even ventured to hit his arm.
Even if Yin Shaojie was usually thick-skinned, what had happened was somewhat embarrassing under those circumstances. Yin Shaojie was full of regret.
¡°Oh well, I can¡¯t take back what I did, so there¡¯s no point in thinking about it anymore. That was our engagement party anyway, so what if we engaged in a little PDA?¡±
He said that as though nothing bothered him. Just then, they arrived at the condominium, and he drove the car into the garage.
Both of them got out of the car and entered the lift.
Yin Shaojie moved towards her and kabedoned her again. ¡°See, this is nothing.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s blush from earlier still remained. She wriggled out from under his arm.
¡°It¡¯s because you have thick skin that you think it¡¯s nothing. Other people aren¡¯t so brazen.¡±
The lift arrived at their floor. When they reached the door, Mu Xiaoxiao ced her palm against the scanner to open the door.
At this moment, Yin Shaojie¡¯s phone rang.
¡°It¡¯s my mum.¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s head started to ache when he saw who the caller was as if he had a bad premonition.
The door opened, and the couple entered.
On the other side of the phone was a jubnt Mama Yin. ¡°Little Jie, there¡¯s something I¡¯ve forgotten to tell both of you. I¡¯ve sent people to renovate this condominium of yours. Since you¡¯re engaged already, you should share a bed to cultivate feelings, understood?¡± Mama Yin said.
¡°Renovate?¡± What puzzled Yin Shaojie more was how his mother had unlocked the door for the renovators.
Even if Mama Yin did not have ess to his condominium, he was still her son. A mother who wanted to enter her son¡¯s ce would get her way.
Suddenly, he heard Mu Xiaoxiao shriek.
¡°My room! How did it be like this? Yin Shaojie, we¡¯ve been burgled!¡±
Yin Shaojie then understood the situation. Wincing, he asked, ¡°Mom, did you renovate Xiaoxiao¡¯s room?¡±
¡°Of course I did! I can¡¯t let you sleep separately. You have to sleep together in the future, you hear? If not¡ hehe, I¡¯ll send both of you off to Russia; their legal age for marriage is 14!¡±
Yin Shaojie sighed and pinched his brows. ¡°Okay, okay.¡±
Mama Yin¡¯sughter held a mysterious note as she nagged, ¡°I¡¯ve bought some presents for you and left them on the bed. Remember to be gentle with Xiaoxiao and to use protection! I won¡¯t disturb your rest any longer. Night! Muack!¡±
Yin Shaojie was speechless.
He really had a bad feeling about this.
After exining things to Mu Xiaoxiao, both of them headed to the bedroom. There was a huge box on the bed.
Mu Xiaoxiao was ted. ¡°What¡¯s the present?¡±
She jumped toward the box and opened it happily.
What she saw in the box gave her a shock.
D-Durex!

¡°What¡¯s in the box to shock you so much?¡± Yin Shaojie, amused by the expression on her face, moved forward curiously. When he saw what was in the box, his expression changed and mirrored Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s.
Both of them looked dumbfounded:(¡Ñ_¡Ñ)
Then they turned towards each other in dismay.
¡°Hahahahahaha¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao dropped down on the bed, rolling in fits ofughter while holding her stomach.
¡°My goodness! Mama Yin is superb! To think that she would gift this to us, hahaha, I¡¯m dying fromughter! This is hrious!¡±
Yin Shaojie reached into the box and rummaged through it. It was filled to the brim with nothing but Durex condoms, and it looked as if there were hundreds of them in there.
He didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. ¡°There¡¯s so many of these here. When will we ever finish them?¡¯
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled over and sat up. ring at him, she retorted, ¡°Who wants to use them with you!¡±
Suddenly, Yin Shaojie quirked his lips in a sinister smile and flipped her onto the bed below him. Wielding a condom between his index and middle fingers, he lowered his gorgeous face and blew on hers. ¡°Why are you so shy? We¡¯re already engaged. Come on, let¡¯s use this one tonight. I wonder if this brand is good to use,¡± he teased darkly.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s delicate face flushed red. Using her arms and legs, she pushed him off forcefully and hugged her arms to her chest. ¡°Yin Shaojie! You pervert!¡± On her guard now, she red at him.
¡°Cheh.¡± Looking at her, he teased, ¡°It¡¯s just a condom, so what is with the huge reaction? Have you never seen such a thing before?¡±
Goaded by him, Mu Xiaoxiao got riled up instantly, displeased that she had lost to him. She held her chin high and retorted, ¡°Who says I haven¡¯t seen this before! I just don¡¯t want to use it with you. Humph! You¡¯re a yboy who¡¯s had so many exes. Who knows if you¡¯ve¡ contracted something dirty!¡±
Yin Shaojie was displeased when hearing this and was especially provoked by her look of disgust.
He pouted and said, ¡°I¡¯m still a virgin! If you don¡¯t believe me so be it!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao studied him with doubt. ¡°Really? You¡¯ve had so many girlfriends, yet you¡¯re still a virgin? I bet no one would believe you if you told this to them.¡±
After Mu Xiaoxiao said that, he regretted revealing this secret. At any rate, like she had said, he had gone out with countless girls. If word got out that he was still a virgin, he would lose his dignity as a man.
¡°Xiaoxiao, pretend that I never said anything to you and that you¡¯ve heard nothing, okay?¡± Yin Shaojie said good-humoredly while bewitchingly smiling, the smile reaching his beautiful almond-shaped eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao instantly understood his motives for keeping this secret. Grinning broadly, she said as if she were a cat that had just eaten pilfered food, ¡°You want me to keep this a secret for you?¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded.
Mu Xiaoxiao cackled evilly. Holding her chin up high like a proud missus, she said, ¡°It¡¯s not that I can¡¯t, but you have to listen to whatever I say. If you do that, then I¡¯ll pretend to not have heard anything.¡±
¡°My deardy, your wish is mymand!¡± Yin Shaojie lifted her little hand and gave it a peck.
¡°This attitude is much more eptable. I¡¯m really easygoing, so I won¡¯t put you in on the spot or force you to do anything illegal. The thing¡¯s simple¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled. ¡°From now on, this room is mine and you¡¯ll ¡ª sleep on the sofa!¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s smile froze on his face. He looked at her with disbelief, wondering if he was hallucinating. ¡°Sleep on¡ the sofa?¡±

Chapter 34: Don¡¯t Shamelessly Go Back on Your Word
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Yep.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly as if she was discussing something as trivial as the weather.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s lips twitched downwards. In any case, he was the scion of a wealthy family who was used to warm and soft beds. How could he stand sleeping on a sofa? Was Mu Xiaoxiao trying to make life hard for him?
Afraid that he would go back on his word, Mu Xiaoxiao lifted a finger, pointed at him, and said, ¡°You just said that you would do whatever I said. Don¡¯t be shameless and go back on it!¡±
Yin Shaojie was speechless.
He finally understood the saying ¡°To shoot oneself in the foot.¡±
Even though he wanted to void his promise, he had to consider his dignity, so he gave in to her temporarily.
¡°Okay then, I¡¯ll keep my promise!¡± Yin Shaojie put on an air of magnanimity and said, but in his heart, he was already thinking of a n to reim his right to the bedroom.
Mu Xiaoxiao snatched up a pillow and pushed it onto his chest. ¡°Goodnight then!¡± She waved to him.
Harrumphing softly, Yin Shaojie walked out reluctantly.
¡
Past 10 o¡¯clock at night.
Yin Shaojie usually went out for fun at this time, so he couldn¡¯t sleep. Lying on the sofa, he stared at the ceiling while wondering how to reim the room.
He went over to the guest room that Mu Xiaoxiao had been staying in. The bed had already been taken away, so he couldn¡¯t sleep there.
It had instead been changed to a recreation room. Luckily, his mother knew his interests and had not only prepared console games from different brands but also a variety of other games. It was because of this that he did not be angry.
Just as he was about to stand up and get a can of beer, he heard the sound of footsteps.
Mu Xiaoxiao had exited from the room, and she was even humming happily to herself.
Yin Shaojie sat up and asked, ¡°Why did youe out?¡±
¡°I¡¯m thirsty, so I¡¯m searching for something to drink.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao went into the kitchen and took out a drink from the fridge.
¡°Bring me a can of beer,¡± Yin Shaojie ordered.
Mu Xiaoxiao disregarded themanding tone in his voice. Not wanting to bicker with him because her mood was good, she grabbed a can of beer and tossed it over to him. She then sat on the carpet with her back against the sofa, one leg on top of the other.
¡°Where¡¯s the remote control? I want to watch television!¡± She searched around her. Unable to locate it, she proffered her hand in front of him.
Yin Shaojie dug around in the sofa, and after finding the remote, he ced it in her hand.
Mu Xiaoxiao flipped through the channels.
He looked at the side profile of her face and realized that this girl was growing more and more charming as the years went by. In the past, her face had been round and as cute as a round-faced little kitten. Now, it had matured, and her chin was sharper and more angr, making her face look refined.
¡°Oi, was the guy you hung out with at the cafeteria today the gorgeous hunk you were gushing about? If that¡¯s your idea of a handsome guy, your taste is really atrocious,¡± he said out of the blue.
Mu Xiaoxiao shot a nce at him and smirked. ¡°Why? Are you jealous?¡±
¡°Cheh! Why would I be jealous? That guy is no match for me,¡± he said, snorting with displeasure at beingpared to the other boy.
His looks and charisma were levels above that boy¡¯s.
Sipping her drink, Mu Xiaoxiao mysteriously smiled. ¡°You¡¯ve guessed wrong. The handsome guy I¡¯m referring to isn¡¯t him of course. Since when have my tastes been that bad? I only asked my ssmate to eat with me because the actual Mr. Gorgeous was busy.¡±
Oh please, she had been surrounded by hunks and beauties since she was young. Her tastes were very refined and cultivated.

Talking about this reminded her of Lu Yichen uncontrobly. Should she look for him again the next day?
If she did not constantly appear before such a popr guy and solidify her presence, he could very well forget her existence.
Yin Shaojie noticed her spacing out. Suspecting that she was daydreaming about her Mr. Gorgeous, he couldn¡¯t help but feel a little jealous.
¡°Tell me who the gorgeous hunk is then. I don¡¯t believe that there¡¯s anyone who¡¯s better looking than me in school.¡± Also, it was only her first day today, so who could she have met anyway!
Mu Xiaoxiao,ughing with an evil glint in her eye, said, ¡°I¡¯m so not telling you! I know for a fact that you¡¯re not the only handsome guy in school.¡±
This information was what Yu Zhe had shared with her. It looked like befriending more people was a good thing.
¡°Alright then, there¡¯s nothing to watch on television. I¡¯m going to bed now, ciao!¡± Finishing her drink, Mu Xiaoxiao threw it in the bin. She dusted her shorts and stood up.
¡°Wait!¡± Yin Shaojie grabbed onto her suddenly.
Unbnced, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s wobbled. She fell onto the sofa and right into hisp.
¡°What are you doing?¡± She looked at him in confusion.
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes. Gazing at her with a dangerous look, he asked, ¡°Going by your smiles of longing, do you like him? Mu Xiaoxiao, don¡¯t forget that you¡¯re my wife now. Are you nning to cheat on me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°Cheat on you? Oh please, my dear husband, don¡¯t you seem to have your fair share of girlfriends as well? What right do you have to reproach me for cheating?¡± she retorted as she jabbed her finger into his chest.
Aiyoh, it was kind of hard. Was his chest that muscr? It certainly didn¡¯t look like he had muscles there!
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s curiosity was aroused. She stared at his cor, trying to peer into his shirt to see if this guy really had chest muscles.
However, her view was blocked by his shirt. What a pity.
¡°What are you staring at?¡± Yin Shaojie noticed her gaze, and he couldn¡¯t help but smirk.
¡°It¡¯s nothing! Anyway, I won¡¯t hinder you from picking up girls, so don¡¯t restrict me from dating my hunk!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao moved her gaze away and coughed embarrassedly. Why did she try to check him out? Was there something wrong with her brain?
¡°Really?¡± Yin Shaojie focused his gaze on her. He had been worried that she would interfere with his love life like today. His girlfriend had been made jealous by Mu Xiaoxiao, and he had to spend a while consoling her.
However, exining things to others was his pet peeve, so he did not bother doing so to his girlfriend. If she was bothered by that, he would rather just break up with her.
Mu Xiaoxiao held up her pinky. ¡°Let¡¯s make a pinky promise.¡±
Even though Yin Shaojie thought that this was very childish, he still did it. It was just like when they were children; a pinky-hook, followed by pressing their thumbs together.
At that moment, he felt as if he had returned to his childhood, where both of them hung out together frequently and were exceptionally close.
There was this period when they were little that Mu Xiaoxiao had lived in the Yin residence. She had liked to follow him around to y, and since it had been during the holidays, he had always been free. He yed with her often, and they had been inseparable.
The Yins and the Mus were not only long-time friends where the elders had forged close friendships, but their children were also on good terms.
They were each other¡¯s only friends when they were little.
Yin Shaojie seemed to remember something suddenly and pped his palms together in realization. ¡°Oh yeah! When you were about three or four, I think I heard my parents mentioning that we were betrothed to each other when we were still in our mothers¡¯ wombs.¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°Yep, I know about that. That¡¯s why they want us to get married.¡±
It was only then that she realized that this guy was holding her in his arms. His hands were strategically ced on her waist in such a way that they resembled a pair of lovers.
Wanting to extract herself, she pushed against his chest with her hands hastily. ¡°Let go of me. I want to go sleep.¡±
Yin Shaojie put on a pitiful face and looked into her eyes. ¡°Xiaoxiao, do you remember how we often slept together when we were little?¡±
¡°Of course I do. What about it?¡± She suspected something fishy by the way he mentioned their childhood days.
Yin Shaojie gestured at the sofa andmented, ¡°Even though this sofa is kindafy, it¡¯s not a good sleeping ce. Can you bear the thought of leaving me with insomnia? Then I won¡¯t be able to attend ss tomorrow.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao studied him. Was this guy trying to y the sympathy card on her?
Looking at the sofa, she thought that if she had to sleep on the sofa for the rest of her life, she would be very ufortable. It was only bearable for asional napping.
¡°Wifey~~~~¡± Yin Shaojie swayed coquettishly while holding her by her waist.
¡°Okay, okay, okay! I¡¯ll let you sleep inside, alright?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart softened.
¡°You¡¯re too kind, my wifey!¡± Yin Shaojie, indulging in his coquettish act, leaned in to give her a peck on her face.
Disgusted, Mu Xiaoxiao wiped his saliva off her face with the back of his hand. Remembering something, she pointed at him and said seriously, ¡°I¡¯ll say this first: From now on, the bedroom is my territory, and in my territory, you listen to me. Got it?¡±
Yin Shaojie made an ¡°OK¡± sign. Lifting her off hisp, he hugged a pillow while steering her towards the bedroom.
¡°Wifey, let¡¯s go to sleep!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao used her elbow to block his chest. With a deliberate look of disgust, she said, ¡°Who¡¯s going to sleep with you; we¡¯re sleeping separately!¡±
If the bed in the room hadn¡¯t been that big, with more than enough space for two people to sleep on it, she would not have shared it with him.
¡°Sure thing, we¡¯ll sleep separately. Don¡¯t sneak up on me in the middle of the night. I¡¯m just worried about you drooling uncontrobly as you gaze at my beauty and doing something¡¡±
¡°Bah! If you say any more, I¡¯ll throw you out!¡±
Yin Shaojie tactfully shut his mouth. Smiling delightedly, he steered her into the room and closed the door behind them.
¡
The next morning.
Clear sunlight shined into the room.
Mu Xiaoxiao was sleeping soundly. She snuggled into the thing that she was hugging in her sleep, smearing her saliva onto it.
As she was enjoying her sleep, she felt someone push her. ¡°Wakey wakey, Mu Xiaoxiao! Wake up!¡±
¡°That¡¯s annoying, stop bothering me!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao swatted at the person with frustration, not wanting him to disturb her sleep.
¡°Humph, if you don¡¯t wake up soon, I¡¯ll¡¡± the person whispered sinisterly into her ear, his hot breath tickling it.
¡°Stop it, go away¡¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry as he studied her. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t this be my line? Xiaoxiao, get up quickly, or you¡¯re going to bete for school!¡±
School¡
Mu Xiaoxiao thought groggily, Oh yeah, I¡¯ve returned home, and I¡¯m now enrolled in Shangde High School¡ Suddenly, an image of a handsome guy appeared in her mind. It was Lu Yichen¡¯s face.
She woke with a start and cracked her eyes open. ¡°Right, I have to go to school today!¡± To find Lu Yichen!
Her sleepiness dissipated as she thought of her Mr. Gorgeous. Opening her eyes wide, she stretched and turned her gaze to the person in front of her.

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Woah! You scared the heck out of me!¡±
She didn¡¯t think that there would be a face right in front of her. Because she hadn¡¯t been mentally prepared, she was given a big shock.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face was only a few centimeters away from hers, cocking a brow at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao woke up instantly. Her dark eyes roved around and settled on the all-too-close Yin Shaojie and used, ¡°Did you sneak up on me? You even asked me to not do so to youst night, yet you¡¯re doing it to me now? You disgusting womanizer, you even want to do something to me¡¡±
She jabbed his chest repeatedly as she tore into him.
In a swift motion, Yin Shaojie grabbed her finger and narrowed his eyes at her. ¡°Look carefully now, this part of the bed is mine! You¡¯re the one who invaded my privacy!¡± he retorted bluntly.
However, he would not tell her what she had donest night while in the midst of sleep, of course.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused. It was only then that she looked at the bed and saw that it was half empty and that the two of there were squeezed onto his side of the bed.
Even more outrageously, she was hugging him like an octopus.
Looking at the situation, it was clear who had snuck up on who.
¡°¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed.
Amused, Yin Shaojie watched her and wondered how she would admit that it was her fault.
Luckily, Mu Xiaoxiao was quick on her feet and recovered swiftly. Like a proud princess, she harrumphed and said, ¡°What do you mean by this side of the bed being yours? Don¡¯t forget that this entire bedroom is mine, and I¡¯ve allowed you to use this bed only ¡®temporarily.¡¯ Therefore, it¡¯s still my bed!¡±
Yin Shaojie was speechless.
Mu Xiaoxiao was delighted by his expression. ¡°If you¡¯re not happy about this, you can sleep on the sofa! I¡¯m lending you my bed out of goodwill, yet you dare toin about me?¡±
Powerless, he spread his arms open and said, ¡°Okay, you win.¡±
He couldn¡¯t think of any reason to rebut her and could only ept his fate. However, he swore internally that he would reim the ownership of the bedroom!
With that, both of them got out of bed, dressed, and headed to school.
Together, they entered the garage. Yin Shaojie sat in the driver¡¯s seat, put on his seatbelt, and was observing Mu Xiaoxiao pulling on the handle of the car door unsessfully. She could only thump on the window and shout at him.
¡°Oi, why isn¡¯t the car door opening?¡±
Yin Shaojie narrowed his beautiful almond eyes and smiled at her. ¡°The car¡¯s mine; why should I drive you?¡±
It had not crossed Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mind that he would do this to her. She pouted her little mouth and said, ¡°Yin Shaojie! If you don¡¯t drive me to school, am I supposed to hitch a ride on my own? How dare you do this to me!¡±
¡°Give me the right to use the bedroom, and I¡¯ll send you to school every day,¡± Yin Shaojie said, listing his terms.
¡°No way! I¡¯m not agreeing to this! Abandon me here if you dare! I¡¯ll rat on you to¡¡±
Before Mu Xiaoxiao could finish her threats, Yin Shaojie started the engine, and his dazzling sports car whizzed away from her.
¡°Yin ¡ª Shao ¡ª Jie!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stomped her feet in rage.
She looked around the garage destely. Because it was still early, there was no one else here. The spacious garage was empty except for some lifeless cars. Even the breeze that was blowing felt dark and chilly.
¡°Yin Shaojie¡ you jerk!¡± Feeling hurt, she squatted down helplessly.
Just then, she heard the revs of an engine. The sports car that had just left returned to her side.
¡°Get in.¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s pleasant voice rung out.

Chapter 38: You¡¯re so Hard to Please

The door to the sports car opened automatically.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up briefly and lowered her head again, unable to lift it, and she stood motionless.
Helpless, Yin Shaojie could only get out of the car and face her. Squatting in front of her, he stared at her lowered head but could only see the hair whorl on her head.
¡°Do you want to get in?¡± he asked patiently.
As the scion of the Yin family, all the women around him busied themselves with ingratiating themselves to him. The only girl he ever had to amodate was the one right here.
Mu Xiaoxiao was still peeved, but she also did not reject him. She harrumphed instead.
The sight of both of them facing each other while squatting looked quite childish. It was as though they were two kids throwing a tantrum.
Understandably, Yin Shaojie thought the situation hrious. It brought back memories of their childhood.
¡°Are you so angry that you don¡¯t want a ride anymore? If that¡¯s what you want, I¡¯m going to go away. Or are you waiting for me to carry you into the car?¡±
It was at those words that Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head a little. She eyeballed him as though she was waiting to see how else he would try to appease her.
¡°Alrighty, if you¡¯re not going to say anything, then I have no choice but to pick an option myself.¡±
Yin Shaojie stood up, brushed his pants off, and gazed down at her from above.
What option?
Before Mu Xiaoxiao could wrap her head around the situation, two arms had surrounded her and lifted her while she was still squatting.
¡°Ah ¡ª ¡± She was startled. It was shocking to be lifted up from this position, and she was scared that she would fall.
However, Yin Shaojie¡¯s motions were swift, and he had already transferred her into the car and was bending over to put on her seatbelt.
¡°You scared the heck out of me!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao finally grumbled, looking at him with an air of reproachfulness.
Yin Shaojie smiled. ¡°So I made the right choice then? You just wanted me to carry you into the car. You should¡¯ve said so earlier; you didn¡¯t have to be so difficult. You¡¯re so hard to please.¡±
Even though he gave her a look of annoyance andined that she was hard to please, he still went along with her wishes.
After Yin Shaojie fastened her seatbelt, he circled back to the driver¡¯s seat. Starting the engine, he drove the car out of the garage.
Mu Xiaoxiao, who was beside him, had already cooled down.
After a long while, she then deigned to speak, saying, ¡°I thought¡ that you had really abandoned me.¡±
Earlier, she had really felt aggrieved. She had not thought that he would just drive away like that without bickering further. Anyway, she was not serious about chasing him out of the bedroom to sleep on the sofa.
If she was really that heartless, she would not have let him sleep on the bed with herst night.
However, Yin Shaojie was only trying to scare her of course. Looking at her miserable expression, he felt a little guilty and regretted toying with her.
After all, Mu Xiaoxiao was not like his girlfriends. He didn¡¯t care whether those girls were angry at him; let them be angry if they wanted to be, and he wouldn¡¯t take the initiative to appease them. In the end, they would alwayse around and continue to hang out with him.
But Mu Xiaoxiao was different. If she was angry, she was angry, and she would not bother with him ever again.
Naturally, Yin Shaojie would not reveal these thoughts to her. To make her feel bad, he said purposely, ¡°If I had really abandoned you, you would haveined to my mom about me. Wouldn¡¯t I be scolded to death?¡±
Actually, he wasn¡¯t afraid of his mom scolding him but of her nagging. Her nagging would drive him mad.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and mumbled, ¡°I was only saying¡ I¡¯m not the type toin about people like that.¡±
Besides, she was not a three-year-old kid anymore. She wouldn¡¯t whine about him to his parents over a small matter.

¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Yin Shaojie took the chance to observe her when the lights turned red.
Unexpectedly, Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled suddenly and turned towards him. Looking into his eyes, she warned, ¡°However, this will be on a case-by-case basis. If you do anything to make me really upset, I can¡¯t guarantee that I will notin to Mama Yin.¡±
With this threat, he did not dare to do anything too outrageous to her. How could she let go of such a good advantage?
Finally, they were almost at school, and the massive school gates could be seen from afar.
Mu Xiaoxiao studied the scenery outside with an air of boredom, thinking about what she should get for breakfast. Suddenly, a tall and handsome silhouette entered her line of sight.
Lu Yichen?
She widened her eyes in delight as she saw him enter the cake shop she went to yesterday.
Anxiously, shemanded Yin Shaojie, ¡°Stop the car, stop the car! Stop the car quickly!¡±
She even waved her arms in agitation as she ordered him to stop.
¡°What¡¯s up? We haven¡¯t arrived,¡± Yin Shaojie said. However, he stillplied and stopped the car by the roadside.
¡°I¡¯m not going to appear in school with you by my side. If anyone sees me getting out of your car, they will know that we are acquainted.¡± With that, Mu Xiaoxiao unfastened her seat belt and got ready to exit.
Stopping suddenly, she turned and smiled at him sweetly.
Yin Shaojie shot a nce at her. ¡°Looking at that smile of yours, I¡¯m guessing that you¡¯re up to no good again. Hurry up, what do you want?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pushed his hand away. Jiggling her fingers, she demanded, ¡°Give me your wallet.¡±
Powerless, Yin Shaojie took out his wallet and set it down on her palm. ¡°Why haven¡¯t you gone to a money changer?¡± he said irritably.
¡°I didn¡¯t have time to!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao face currently said ¡°I¡¯m thiszy. What can you do about it, huh?¡±
Besides, he was her husband now. Wasn¡¯t it natural for her to spend his money?
Mu Xiaoxiao flipped his wallet open. Seeing arge wad of huge denominations, her eyes sparkled, and she took all of them greedily.
¡°Oi! Leave some for me!¡± Yin Shaojie protested against her act of theft.
¡°Don¡¯t you have cards? Just use them, and you¡¯re good.¡±
Mentioning this had reminded Mu Xiaoxiao about something suddenly. From his wallet, she pulled out several cards and settled on one, putting it into her bag.
Yin Shaojie harrumphed and said, ¡°You really know how to pick them huh, taking my ck card immediately. I can¡¯t give that to you. Give it back!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted in displeasure and said, ¡°But you still have so many cards¡¡±
Even though she said that, she still put the ck card back into his wallet obediently.
Yin Shaojie snatched his wallet back and pulled out a card from there. Giving the card to her, he said, ¡°That was the main card that only I can use. This is the supplementary card of that ck card; use this instead.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao received the card and smiled with delight. In disbelief, she asked, ¡°Are you really giving this to me? I can use it however I like?¡±
Woah! How magnanimous!
One should know, supplementary cards from a ck card also had unlimited spending and could be used frivolously.
Yin Shaojie shot her a fierce look mockingly. ¡°I dare you to use that rashly!¡±
Even though he said that, he still gave her the card, proving his trust in her.
¡°This is difficult to exin.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao grinned evilly. ¡°Anyway, I¡¯ve already epted this, so however I use it is my business.¡±
With that said, she grinned till her eyes resembled crescents and beckoned him closer.
Yin Shaojie looked at her in confusion. What was the meaning of this?

Yin Shaojie, thinking that she wanted to whisper something, moved forward without any suspicion.
However, as he closed in, Mu Xiaoxiao gave his face a smacking kiss. ¡°Thanks hubby!¡± she said as she grinned happily.
She slithered out from the car after the kiss.
Yin Shaojie was stunned for a while before chuckling. This girl really¡
Mu Xiaoxiao waved to him through the window and entered a cake shop nearby.
Yin Shaojie watched her disappearing figure and prepared to start the engine. Suddenly, he stopped moving his hand and thought about something. He felt that she was acting weirdly.
Presently.
In the cake shop.
Smiling brightly, Mu Xiaoxiao stood behind Lu Yichen. Tapping his shoulder, she greeted him, ¡°Hello!¡±
Lu Yichen turned his head. Not expecting her, he was slightly astonished. ¡°It¡¯s you again?¡±
¡°Yep, it¡¯s me. Looks like we really have an affinity,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said. At the same time, she moved her head closer to the part of the cake disy case that he was looking at. It was strawberry cakes again!
Her heart lurched as she thought, Is he buying a cake for his girlfriend again? If so, his mystery girlfriend must also study at Shangde High.
Lu Yichen said to the shop attendant, ¡°Give me a piece of strawberry cake.¡±
¡°I want one too!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao raised her hand and said to the shop attendant as well.
There were still a few pieces of strawberry cake left today, so she could finally fulfill her wish from the day before.
The shop attendant packed their cakes up handed their cakes to them with a smile. ¡°Thank you for your patronage. Would you like to buy anything else?¡±
Lu Yichen declined, while Mu Xiaoxiao wanted a cup of milk tea.
She asked, ¡°Do you want to have a cup too? The beverages here are quite good too. Oh, wait, guys usually don¡¯t like to eat sweet things, right? How about a cup of lemonade?¡±
¡°No, thank you,¡± Lu Yichen said mildly.
Mu Xiaoxiao studied his slight nod and polite manner. She thought that he was really handsome, especially when sunlight spilled on his hair and entuated his handsome features.
Both of them exited the cake shop.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little hungry and stole a bite of the cake. ¡°As expected, this strawberry cake is really good!¡± She was delighted.
Lu Yichen looked at her. ¡°You haven¡¯t had breakfast?¡± he asked.
¡°Nope. I¡¯ve just transferred here, and because I¡¯m not familiar with the surroundings, I don¡¯t know where the good breakfast ces are. Do you mind introducing me to some? I can¡¯t possibly eat cake and milk tea everyday; I¡¯d get sick of it soon enough.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but me Yin Shaojie for not preparing breakfast for her.
Perhaps it was her pitiful look, but Lu Yichen couldn¡¯t bear to reject her. Besides, it was still early, and it was still a while before sses started. ¡°Sure, there are actually quite a few ces with good food near our school. I¡¯ll bring you around,¡± he said.
¡°Awesome!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was on cloud nine!
Not long after they left the cake shop, she noticed a car from her peripheral vision. It was inevitable, for it was an extremely eye-catching one and hard not to notice. Most importantly, was that Yin Shaojie¡¯s car?
It was definitely his car on closer inspection.
In his car, Yin Shaojie cruised over, his mysteriously dark gaze focused on her and Lu Yichen.
In her head, Mu Xiaoxiao stuck her tongue out at him.
This was bad; she had been caught red-handed!
¡°Xiaoxiao, what¡¯s up?¡± Lu Yichen asked suddenly.
Chapter 41 - I Rejected Her
Chapter 41: I Rejected Her
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°It¡¯s nothing; let¡¯s go quickly. I¡¯m starving! I¡¯m starving so bad that I can¡¯t take it any longer!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pulled on him and rushed forward.
They entered a breakfast shop.
At Lu Yichen¡¯s rmendation, Mu Xiaoxiao ordered a steamed dumpling.
Taking a bite, her eyes widened from the deliciousness. ¡°This is good! Do you want some too? Anyway, I just finished my cake, so I can¡¯t eat so much,¡± she said.
¡°No, I¡¯m not hungry,¡± Lu Yichen said as he waved his hand and rejected.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t mind it. She thought he was really polite.
She nced at the cake beside his hand curiously. Finally, she couldn¡¯t control herself anymore. ¡°Why did you buy that but not eat it? Is it for your girlfriend?¡± she asked.
Lu Yichen was startled for a second and did not reply to her. Changing the topic, he asked instead, ¡°Do you like strawberry cakes this much? You looked like you were in love with it.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was a rather smart girl and knew that he didn¡¯t want to answer the question. She did not press it, but because of this, she was convinced that he had gotten the cake for his girlfriend.
Hence, she deduced that his girlfriend must be studying in Shangde High School!
Mu Xiaoxiao gloated over her intelligence. At the same time, she wondered what kind of girl would make him like her so much as to not only protect her identity but also date her for so long.
After finishing the steamed dumpling, Mu Xiaoxiao dusted the bits off her hand. ¡°I¡¯m done. Let¡¯s go.¡±
Lu Yichen handed a tissue over for her to wipe her hands.
As they walked out of the shop, she nced around cautiously. Certain that Yin Shaojie¡¯s car was no longer around, she then gave a sigh of relief.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lu Yichen noticed her weird behavior and asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Anyway, do you usually have breakfast here?¡±
¡°asionally.¡±
¡°Actually, I went to your ss to look for you yesterday, but you weren¡¯t there. I heard that you were called out by a girl who wanted to confess to you; is that true?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s gossipy side emerged.
¡°I rejected her,¡± Lu Yichen said calmly. ¡°What were you finding me for?¡± he asked as he looked at her.
¡°It¡¯s nothing much¡ I wanted you to guide me around the school since I¡¯m not very familiar with it.¡± She rubbed her nose guiltily though because she already had Yu Zhe as a guide.
¡°Oh yeah, I¡¯m in ss S of Year One. If there¡¯s anything in the future, you cane and look for me.¡± She would rather have exchanged phone numbers but felt that they were not familiar enough. It seemed rude to do so, so she did not ask for it.
¡°You¡¯re in ss S?¡± Lu Yichen didn¡¯t look surprised. He had felt from yesterday¡¯s incident that she had an extraordinary status, but now, he had evidence that she was just another rich girl from a wealthy family.
What puzzled him was why she hadn¡¯t eaten breakfast. Didn¡¯t rich people have cooks in their houses? He couldn¡¯t think of why she had toe all the way to school just for breakfast.
Both of them walked up to the school gate. Because it was almost time for ss, there were quite a few students rushing by.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt the intense stares of people around her and guessed that it was because of Lu Yichen. However, he was unperturbed. Apparently, he was used to it.
At the gates, Lu Yichen nced at the security guards unintentionally. There was a neer, and the guard from yesterday was nowhere to be seen.
There were two guards talking. One of them said, ¡°In the future, don¡¯t act stupidly like Little Lee. He identally offended someone and got fired.¡±

Lu Yichen stopped abruptly. Frowning, he turned to them. ¡°Good morning. The person you said was fired ¡ª was it the guard from yesterday?¡± he inquired.
The older guard paused. Remembering him, he exined politely, ¡°Yes, he is. Is there anything I can help you with?¡±
¡°When was he fired? Why was he fired?¡± Lu Yichen probed deeply.
¡°Uh, this¡ he was fired yesterday afternoon. As for the reason¡¡± The older guard looked awkward. ncing at Mu Xiaoxiao, he could only say, ¡°Sorry, this is ssified; I cannot reveal this to you.¡±
Even if he didn¡¯t say it, Lu Yichen understood what had happened perfectly.
Crestfallen, he nodded in gratitude. ¡°Thank you. I understand.¡±
Then, he walked ahead, seeming to forget Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s existence.
Mu Xiaoxiao was confused. She thought, Was the guard he was asking about the one who had blocked her entry? How did he get fired?
¡°Lu Yichen, wait up! Why are you walking so fast? It¡¯s not time for ss yet anyway.¡±
Lu Yichen had long legs, but Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s legs were pitifully short. For every step he walked, she had to run two steps to catch up.
Finally, when she caught up to him, she spread her arms out to block him. In a bewildered tone, she asked, ¡°Are you okay? Was that security guard¡ your rtive? Are you upset?¡±
Even if she didn¡¯t understand the situation, she could see that Lu Yichen was upset at that moment. His face was expressionless and cold, looking like what Yu Zhe had described as ¡°austere.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had no idea what she had done wrong and stared into his eyes, waiting for an exnation.
Lu Yichen finally looked at her. His voice had lost all warmth and geniality as he said coldly, ¡°You¡¯re saying you don¡¯t know why the guard was fired? Mu Xiaoxiao, are you trying to y dumb in front of me?¡±
¡°What? What do you mean by that? I really don¡¯t know what you are talking about! Is it something I should know about?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled and even began to feel indignant at his usation.
His attitude seemed to say that it was her fault that the security guard was fired.
¡°Did you forget that I only transferred to this school yesterday? I don¡¯t know him, and I have no grudges against him. Why would I cause him to lose his job?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao made an effort to state her point of view.
Seeing his attitude made her sad, for even though the two of them had not known each other for long and it was normal for him to misunderstand her, he was judging her and thought that she was a bad person.
Was she such an evil person in his heart?
¡°No grudges? Didn¡¯t you get angry when he stopped you from entering yesterday? And wasn¡¯t that call from the Principal? If you didn¡¯t have some sort of unique status, why would the Principal wee you personally?¡±
¡°I¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless from the onught of his tirade.
Lu Yichen¡¯s tone became increasingly cold as though he was telling her off. ¡°Did you know how important this job was to that security guard? His wife just gave birth, and it costs one to two thousand yuan just to afford baby form and diapers, not counting other necessities. Do you know what it means for him to lose this job?¡±
¡°I¡¡±
¡°No, you don¡¯t know. What is a few thousand yuan to such a rich girl like you? You, with your wealth and influence, need only say a couple words carelessly, and someone¡¯s fate will be decided by you. Isn¡¯t that merry?¡±

¡°Lu¡¡±
¡°Excuse me; I don¡¯t associate with people who use their status to trample on others,¡± Lu Yichen spat before going on his way, ignoring Mu Xiaoxiao, who had been dumbstruck by his berating.
Aggrieved, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s lips curled downwards as she watched his disappearing silhouette.
How had this happened? It had been fine and dandy during breakfast earlier.
She was unable to make sense of his admonishment, which made her feel terrible.
Arriving at ss S, she slumped on her desk in misery.
Yu Zhe turned around and nced at her. Heading over to her, he asked in a caring tone, ¡°Xiao Xiao, what¡¯s wrong? Are you unhappy?¡±
Still in a daze, Mu Xiaoxiao nodded twice.
Lifting her eyes, she looked at Yu Zhe and asked, ¡°Yu Zhe, do you know why Lu Yichen is so angry? Is he angry at me?¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Yu Zhe was surprised at the question.
Mu Xiaoxiao told him the entire story.
After listening to her story, Yu Zhe¡¯s face lit up with enlightenment.
Mu Xiaoxiao pulled on his sleeve impatiently and asked, ¡°Hurry up and tell me; why is he so angry? The security guard isn¡¯t even rted to him.¡±
Yu Zhe didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. He said seriously, ¡°It might be because¡ he empathizes with the security guard?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him and blinked in confusion. ¡°What do you mean?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t you know?¡±
She shook her head. ¡°No, I don¡¯t. What do you mean?¡±
With mocking in his voice, Yu Zhe looked at her and said, ¡°Are you sure you are friends with Lu Yichen? You don¡¯t even know about his past.¡±
¡°What about his past?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao expressed an overwhelming interest in this topic. Her ears shot up like a rabbit¡¯s, and she looked very attentive.
Thus, Yu Zhe began acquainting her with the facts.
¡°Remember when I said that Lu Yichen was scouted by the school, which gave him an expensive schrship? He epted it, which means that his family is poor!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. ¡°Really? His family is poor? I couldn¡¯t tell!¡±
Observing Lu Yichen¡¯s clothes, he did not look like a poor student.
However, it might be because he was good-looking enough and had a fine figure, a polished countenance, and a vague air of nobility, which made his presence impressive, even though he was from the dumps.
¡°It¡¯s true. A lot of people are aware that his family¡¯s circumstances are ordinary and that hees from a single-parent family. I heard rumors that his mum was bullied by someone wealthy when she was working; that¡¯s why he¡¯s resentful of the rich.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had never imagined that things would be so dramatic. Her eyes were wide from shock.
¡°No wonder he was trying to right the injustice forced upon that fired guard¡¡±
¡°And you saw yesterday that there were girls who confess to him on a daily basis. Almost all of them are rich missies, so it¡¯s obvious that they would be cruelly rejected.¡±
As she listened, Mu Xiaoxiao asked curiously, ¡°If it wasn¡¯t a rich girl who confessed to him, would his attitude be different?¡±
Yu Zhe shrugged. ¡°I¡¯m not sure about this. There apparently hasn¡¯t been such a situation before. Our school is catered to the wealthy, you know, and people who attend this school are usually either loaded or respectable, so people who get in through excellent academic results are a minority. Also, girls in this category usually feel a little more inferior and naturally wouldn¡¯t confess to him.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her head inprehension. ¡°It makes sense when you put it like this¡¡±
Yu Zhe¡¯s advice enlightened her. She understood why Lu Yichen had been so upset earlier ¡ª it was probably because he had seen a parallel between the unjust treatment of the guard and that of his mother¡¯s.
Chapter 44 - The Extensive Influence of Young Master Jie
Chapter 44: The Extensive Influence of Young Master Jie
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Yu Zhe said, ¡°From what you said earlier, I¡¯m guessing that he probably misunderstood you as a rich missy from an influential family who ordered the school to fire the security guard because you were displeased with him.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°I get it now¡¡±
Yu Zhe¡¯s face showed some amusement as he said, ¡°Actually, this isn¡¯t the first time I¡¯ve seen something like this. There was once a student who annoyed Young Master Jie and was expelled. It¡¯s a world where the weak are preyed on by the strong ¡ª there¡¯s no one to me but yourself if you are the weak one.¡±
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao paused.
¡°Yin Shaojie he¡ has so much influence? He caused someone to be expelled from just a casual remark?¡±
Didn¡¯t Yu Zhe just say that the students of this school were rich and influential too?
When Yu Zhe mentioned Yin Shaojie, his attitude changed as though he was filled with admiration. ¡°Of course! Young Master Jie is extremely influential in this school. His father is the school director of Shangde, so it¡¯s as if Shangde is owned by his family. That¡¯s why it¡¯s natural that he can do whatever he wants.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She had not known that Shangde was operated by the Yin family.
No wonder Yin Shaojie could run amok in school and treat the girls here as his personal harem. However, she had to admit that his face was also a reason why he could do so.
She reached a sort of conclusion internally.
It was likely that the security guard had been fired because Yin Shaojie was trying to stand up for her.
Even though she had no intention of retaliating against the guard, he had suffered because of her actions.
Thus, she felt that she was responsible no matter what.
She pped the table, her eyes filled with determination. ¡°I know what to do already!¡±
Yu Zhe asked curiously, ¡°What are you going to do?¡±
Suddenly, they felt the air around them stiffen. Looking around at their ssmates, they realized that everyone staring at them.
It was only then that Mu Xiaoxiao registered the teacher¡¯s presence behind Yu Zhe, who staring at the two of them with rage in his eyes.
Coincidentally, it was the English teacher again.
Awkwardly, sheughed and said, ¡°Good morning teacher¡ is ss starting now?¡±
Actually, it had already been ten minutes into ss!
The English teacher tightened his jaw. He was in a dilemma ¡ªst time, he had lost face to Mu Xiaoxiao and realized just how good her English was. He couldn¡¯t scold her on the lines of getting bad results from not listening in ss, could he?
With Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s proficiency in English, it didn¡¯t matter if she listened to his lectures in ss or not.
After deliberating for a while, he finally coughed. Knocking his rod on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s desk, he put on an air of an imposing teacher and said severely, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, I know that your English is good, but you can¡¯t talk and disrupt the learning of other students while we¡¯re having ss. Be more mindful next time. If not, don¡¯t me me for making you stand as punishment, understood?
¡°Understood. I¡¯m sorry; I promise I won¡¯t do it again.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao did not be angry and apologized politely.
Because she was so engrossed in her conversation with Yu Zhe, she hadn¡¯t noticed that ss had already started.
The teacher did not dare to reprimand Yu Zhe, and it was as if he did not know that he was an aplice. Turning around, he made his way back to the lectern.
Yu Zhe shed a nce at Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°See, the teacher only dares to bully you. No matter how much I disrupt the ss, he will pretend that nothing has happened,¡± he said.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. In a ridiculing tone, she said, ¡°Student Yu Zhe, is disrupting the learning of other ssmates something that you should be so proud of?¡±
She pushed his head away as she said that.
¡°Enough, listen attentively in ss.¡±
After ss, she sped towards the Year Three¡¯s school block to find Lu Yichen.
Chapter 45 - An Early Confession in the Morning
Chapter 45: An Early Confession in the Morning
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Outside the door of Year Three¡¯s ss S.
Mu Xiaoxiao stopped a boy. ¡°Hello, can you help get Lu Yichen for me? Say that Mu Xiaoxiao is looking for him. Thanks.¡±
Seeing her, the boy let out an ¡°eh.¡± Staring at her equivocally, he said mockingly, ¡°You again? Confessing this early in the morning? Not bad, you have sincerity.¡±
What a coincidence. It was the boy from yesterday.
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled bitterly and said, ¡°No¡ anyway, just call him out for me. Thanks.¡±
¡°Fine. I¡¯ll help you out since you¡¯re cute. I feel that you stand a good chance. Seize this chance to conquer his cold heart!¡±
The boy looked optimistic and went into the ss after he agreed, shouting, ¡°Lu Yichen, there¡¯s a girl who¡¯s looking for you, and she¡¯s really cute! She says that she is Mu Xiaoxiao.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao waited outside, worrying about whether Lu Yichen woulde out. To her surprise, he did.
Seeing him, she was astonished. ¡°You¡ came out.¡±
¡°Yeah, what¡¯s up?¡± His attitude was a little cold, which made Mu Xiaoxiao feel a little dejected. She felt that he still misunderstood her, which was why she hade to clear it up.
¡°I have something to talk to you about. Can you spare a few minutes for me, please?¡± she said in a tone that was neither supercilious nor obsequious, her bright, dark eyes looking at him.
¡°Okay,¡± he answered.
Thus, the two of them walked out of the ss and went to a deserted space near the building.
Mu Xiaoxiao nced left and right. Seeing that there was no one else around, she faced him and said gravely, ¡°Regarding the guard, believe it or not, I didn¡¯t know about it. However, I can guess what probably happened, and I will think of a solution.¡±
¡°Also,¡± her face trembled as she pouted a little, her expression indignant as she said, ¡°did you know that what you said to me today was overboard? You didn¡¯t even know what happened, yet you pushed the me on me. Do you think that is fair? I¡¯m still really upset now.¡±
With that said, she harrumphed and prepared to turn around and leave.
As she exined this, Lu Yichen had been observing her serious face and saw that she had a persistent obstinacy about it. His pupils wavered slightly at this.
Seeing that she was leaving, he reached out suddenly and caught her wrist.
¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± he said.
Mu Xiaoxiao stood still for a moment, but still in a huff, she did not turn her head. Her cheeks were still burning with anger.
¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± he said again.
Watching her expression while she ranted, he knew that he had misunderstood her.
At first, he thought that she was like other girls who wanted to get close to him because they had ulterior motives, so he had lumped her together with the crowd of girls who werewless and disregarded natural morality just because they were rich and influential.
Yet, he was confused as to why he had still willing to apany her to eat breakfast.
Perhaps it was her clear gaze, which made her seem innocent, that made him unable to reject her.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned around this time and looking at him as she said in a tsundere manner, ¡°Regarding your apology, I hold the right to consider my eptance.¡±
With that said, she shook his hand off and left.
Lu Yichen gazed at her silhouette steadily for a long time.
¡ª¡ª¡ª
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s next stop was the Principal¡¯s office.
Even though the bell had already rung for the start of ss, she ignored it and rushed into the Principal¡¯s office pompously.
¡°Uncle Principal! I¡¯ve got something I want to talk about!¡±
The secretary outside wanted to block her entrance but couldn¡¯t. This little missy had rushed straight in.
Chapter 46 - Sure Enough, It Was His Doing
Chapter 46: Sure Enough, It Was His Doing
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°My apologies to you, Principal,¡± the secretary said, her head bowed.
The Principal had been napping with his chin cupped in his palm. He had been so astonished upon hearing the bang of the door that his arm had jerked up, causing him to hit his head on the table.
Holding his head in pain, he almost scolded the person furiously.
However, seeing that the person who had rushed in was Mu Xiaoxiao, his furious face became a smiling one.
¡°Student Mu, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Come over and have a seat. Ms. Secretary, get a ss of juice for Student Mu over here.¡±
The secretary gaped in surprise. Other than Young Master Jie, it was her first time seeing the Principal fawn over a student.
¡°Uh, okay¡¡±
Returning to her senses, she rushed out of the room after the Principal signaled at her with his eyes.
The Principal waved Mu Xiaoxiao over to a seat and spoke to her cordially.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was still burning with fury, and she refused to sit. Instead, she walked up to his table and rapped on it. ¡°Uncle Principal, why did you fire that security guard? Is it because of me? Did Yin Shaojie order it?¡±
The Principal cupped his chin in both hands and studied her expression carefully. He said, ¡°Are you unhappy with this oue? If you are, what else do you suggest I do? Do you want his pay to be cut? Or do you want to block him from being recruited for a simr job at other schools? These are easy things to execute; with a single word, I will be able to do it.
Hearing his words, Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to burst with rage.
¡°Pow!¡± She hit the table again, but this time, she hit it too hard, causing her hand to feel a little numb. She frowned and retracted her hand.
¡°That¡¯s not what I meant! I don¡¯t want to do anything to him! Can you listen to me first?¡±
¡°Sure, sure, sure; please speak. Take a seat first and tell me about it. There¡¯s no rush, no rush at all. Uncle Principal will listen to you no matter how long you want to talk.¡± The Principal humored her as though she was a little kid.
Just then, the secretary brought in the juice and ced it respectfully in front of Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°Student Mu, please have a drink. Mr. Principal, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll be leaving to do some work.¡±
The secretary went out.
The Principal smiled widely. Gesturing with his hand at the drink in front of her, he said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Have something to drink first. You can tell me about your requests slowly.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was thirsty from her lengthy exchange with Lu Yichen. Abandoning all restraint, she took up the ss and drank the juice.
She licked her pink lips after she finished the drink.
It was a strawberry-vored juice, and it was quite delicious! She was satisfied, and it had quenched her thirst.
Putting down the ss, she did not sit down but said immediately, ¡°What I mean is, I don¡¯t want him to be fired. Rehire him and let him work here again.¡±
The Principal looked as if he was in a tough position. ¡°About this¡ it¡¯s not something that¡¯s easy to do; it¡¯s an order from Young Master Jie. You should discuss this with him, I feel, and then tell me about it once you have arrived at a conclusion, okay?¡±
Of course, this was Yin Shaojie¡¯s doing!
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was gloomy.
She said, ¡°His reason for firing the security guard was because he wanted to stand up for me, so it wouldn¡¯t matter if I don¡¯t mind it. Uncle Principal, let the mane back to work here, okay? Please?¡±
¡°This¡¡± The Principal sat in his chair with his fingers crossed, looking indecisive.
¡°No ¡ª !¡±
A domineering voice interrupted suddenly. Yin Shaojie, pushed open the door and entered, his expression cold and his countenance like that of a king. His aura was impossible to ignore.

¡°How did you get here?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him in consternation.
Yin Shaojie harrumphed and walked over to face her. He repeated strongly, ¡°Whatever you requested just now ¡ª I won¡¯t agree to it!¡±
After saying that, he turned his head towards the Principal. With an air of righteousness, he said, ¡°Mr. Principal, do not rehire the person I fired. Understood?¡±
The Principal, who had been sitting down, jumped to a standing position in fright at his appearance.
Wiping the sweat on his forehead, the Principalplied respectfully, saying, ¡°Understood, Young Master Jie. I will follow your instructions to the letter,¡± he said.
¡°YIN SHAOJIE!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao roared his name in anger, her face flushing red. ¡°How could you do this? Do you have a problem with the guard? Why did you take his job away? Your, your actions are so vile!¡± she howled.
Yin Shaojie walked over to her. Facing her, he snapped, ¡°Did I not do this for your sake? Instead, you want to rehire the person I fired for you and give me a metaphorical p to the face?
He had absolute say in what went on in the school. There was no one who dared to challenge his influence!
¡°I didn¡¯t need you to stand up for me!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao retorted. Her chest heaved with fury as she red at him, rage in her eyes.
¡°You ¡ª ¡± Yin Shaojie red at her as though she had trampled on his kindness.
¡°You¡¯re doing this for Lu Yichen aren¡¯t you?¡± he said suddenly, his handsome face contorted with rage.
¡°What are you talking about?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him in confusion and asked in a puzzled tone, ¡°You know Lu Yichen?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s lips twitched in mockery. ¡°He had a beef with me. How could I not know him? Mu Xiaoxiao, why are you so easily infatuated with people? Why do you throw yourself so carelessly at anyone who looks good?¡±
He understood now that the gorgeous hunk she had been talking about was Lu Yichen.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s anger rose again as he thought about this.
Also, she had left his car earlier in the morning and cast him off because she had spotted Lu Yichen.
¡°I¡¯m not like that! I treat him as just a friend. It¡¯s not that I¡¡± she said, trying to exin herself.
Yin Shaojie interrupted her, ¡°Are you denying things? The video of both of you behaving so intimately with each other has already spread through school like wildfire! There isn¡¯t a single person who doesn¡¯t know that you are the first girl Lu Yichen is giving special treatment to!¡±
¡°What video? What intimacy?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was thoroughly confused by him and could not understand him at all.
Yin Shaojie took out his phone and yed the video for her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. It was really a video of her and Lu Yichen¡¯s interaction earlier. However, due to the videographer¡¯s distance, it was impossible to hear what they were saying, but from their actions, it looked as though they were behaving intimately. People who had no idea of the context would obviously think that there was something going on between them.
¡°I¡ I¡¯m not¡ you¡¯re mistaken!¡±
¡°What am I misunderstanding here? Didn¡¯t you look for him yourself? Didn¡¯t you behave intimately with him? Also, the gorgeous hunk you wanted to eat with yesterday was him, am I right? You¡¯ve only known him since yesterday, yet you have such a big crush on him already? Don¡¯t you know that he has a girlfriend already? Mu Xiaoxiao, how are you so muddle-headed?
Yin Shaojie boiled with anger. Since when had she be like this?
Had she been corrupted by America¡¯s open-minded values?
Did she thus think that it would be interesting to steal the boyfriend of another girl?
¡°How did you be so corrupted?¡±
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao jolted, and her eyes reddened.

Chapter 48: You Dumb*ss!

¡°Xiaoxiao, how did you be so corrupted?!¡±
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao jolted, and her eyes reddened.
She was already feeling indignant from being misunderstood by Lu Yichen, but she could let go of that. However, who knew that even Yin Shaojie would misunderstand her as well. It made her feel even more aggrieved.
Tears quickly pooled in her eyes and slid down her rosy cheeks in big globs.
Seeing her cry so suddenly, Yin Shaojie froze.
¡°Shaojie you b*stard! I¡¯m never speaking to you ever again!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao red at him fiercely and then howled as she sobbed and ran out of the room.
Yin Shaojie curled his fists up into balls, looking upset.
Behind him, the Principal looked at him hesitantly. Carefully, he asked, ¡°Young Master Jie, then what should I¡¡±
¡°Shut up!¡± Turning around in anger, Yin Shaojie roared
Sh*t!
He cursed under his breath and hurried after her. ¡°Xiaoxiao ¡ª ¡±
¡ª¡ª-
Even though he had only dyed for a few seconds before running out of the office, there was already no sign of Mu Xiaoxiao.
Chagrined, Yin Shaojie felt like beating someone up. He rushed down the stairs to chase her.
Little did he know that Mu Xiaoxiao was actually hiding in the corner of the stairs. As he ran over, his shadow had flitted across where she was, but because she was hidden in the dark, he hadn¡¯t noticed her.
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head and saw him, but she buried it back between her knees in fury.
Yin Shaojie you a**hole!
You blockhead!
Tears leaped out of her eyes again. Squatting there, she tried to suppress her whimpers and sobbed silently.
She had forgotten how long it had been since weeping like this. Since she was young, she had been the treasured baby of the family and was even pampered when she was with the Yin family. She had not suffered so much indignation before.
Also, from when they were young till now, Yin Shaojie, that jerk, had never chastised her so severely.
Above all, how could he have misunderstood her like that?
She had obviously never thought that way!
She was only admiring Lu Yichen. She had never thought of chasing him, and even more so, she had never wanted to snatch him away from his girlfriend.
Yet, that b*stard, Yin Shaojie, dared to use her of that¡
Mu Xiaoxiao got angrier and angrier and more and more indignant the more she thought about it.
Crying non-stop, she lost all sense of time. Her eyes felt ufortable, and her legs were numb.
Just then, a pair of long legs appeared in front of her tear-stained vision.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao¡¡±
She lifted her head in shock.
For a moment, she was ted. She thought that Yin Shaojie had finallye to his senses and turned back to look for her. She had not imagined that Lu Yichen would be the one standing in front of her.
Mu Xiaoxiao froze as she realized she had recognized the wrong person. She lifted her eyes, bright red from crying, and gazed at him dully, looking very pitiable.
Lu Yichen studied her as she was squatting in the corner crying. His normally calm and steady pupils shivered.
¡°Are¡ are you alright?¡± he asked in a low voice as he walked over. Facing her, he squatted as well and leveled his gaze to hers.
She had wept pathetically until her eyes were swollen and red, looking like a little rabbit that had been wronged.
This scene was etched into Lu Yichen¡¯s memory.
He would remember for a long time how Mu Xiaoxiao had gazed upon him with her swollen red eyes with remarkable rity.
Mu Xiaoxiao returned to her senses from her previous confusion. Feeling embarrassed, she wiped off her tears with the back of her hand, not wanting him to see her in such a mess.
¡°You¡ how did you know that I was here?¡± Her voice was hoarse from crying.

Hearing her voice, Lu Yichen frowned. ¡°Have you been crying?¡± he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao took a few deep breaths before she calmed down. Wiping her tears, she stood.
¡°You¡¡± Subconsciously, she wanted to ask if he had sought her out specifically. However, she thought that it was highly impossible and that he had probably passed by and seen her crying coincidentally.
Lu Yichen seemed to know what she was thinking. ¡°I only guessed, but it looks like you really came to meet with the Principal. What happened? Do you mind telling me about it?¡± he asked in a calm tone.
His gaze was different from earlier in the morning. It had lost its coldness and was even reced with some concern.
Mu Xiaoxiao was astonished and pleasantly surprised. Looking at him, she said, ¡°You¡ Did you seek me out specifically?¡±
¡°Yeah,¡± Lu Yichen admitted openly.
Mu Xiaoxiao remembered the incident earlier, and bowing her head in guilt, she apologized, ¡°Sorry¡ I wasn¡¯t sessful just now. I wanted the Principal to rehire the security guard, but¡¡±
She hadn¡¯t known that Yin Shaojie would appear and strongly forbid the Principal from helping her out.
Lu Yichen looked at her for a while and replied, ¡°It¡¯s fine; it¡¯s not your fault.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him. ¡°But¡¡±
¡°This is my fault; I¡¯m sorry. I shouldn¡¯t have said those things to you,¡± Lu Yichen said, apologizing seriously.
Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to say that she was at fault too, but remembering how adamant Yin Shaojie had been, she felt that she might not be able to change his mind. Thus, she thought that it would be better if Lu Yichen did not know that she was rted to Yin Shaojie.
¡°That¡ Let¡¯s not stand here anymore; let¡¯s leave,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao suggested.
At first, she had looked forward to Yin Shaojieing back to look for her, but now that Lu Yichen was here, she was afraid that Yin Shaojie would find her here, for it would be disastrous if both guys were toe into contact with each other here.
Oh right, didn¡¯t Yin Shaojie mention that he had some beef with Lu Yichen?
Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to leave this ce first.
¡°Yeah, let¡¯s go, or we might get caught by a passing teacher,¡± Lu Yichen replied as he led her out of the corner.
Both of them sat in the empty hallway.
Because sses were going on, there was no one around them, making the ce cold and cheerless.
He asked her, ¡°Do you want to go back to ss?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought about it and shook her head. ¡°No, I don¡¯t want to go back.¡±
Even if she couldn¡¯t see it, she could guess that her eyes were red from crying. If she had gone back to ss, Yu Zhe would have pestered her to tell him what had happened if he had seen the state she was in, and it would also rouse her other ssmates¡¯ curiosity. Thus, to avoid unnecessary spection, she decided it would be better to not go back.
She was about to tell him not to bother with her and go back to ss, as she assumed that as a top student, wouldn¡¯t he dislike missing sses?
Yet, surprisingly, Lu Yichen said to her, ¡°Where do you want to go? I¡¯ll apany you there.¡±
Slightly astonished and dumbfounded, Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him. ¡°Apany me? But then you¡ aren¡¯t going to attend sses?¡±
Lu Yichen smiled weakly. ¡°I¡¯m not going. Sometimes, I don¡¯t like to attend ss. Is that weird?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to say that it was but quickly shook her head. ¡°No, it¡¯s not weird at all!¡±
For students, not liking to attend sses was normal, so it would then be weird if students actually liked going to sses.
¡°Then where are we going?¡± she asked.
Even though the school was quiterge, they were bound to attract attention if they walked around here.
¡°Do you want to go somewhere outside school?¡± he asked. Surprisingly, his deep dark eyes twinkled with mischief.

Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes sparkled immediately. ¡°Yes!¡± With much haste and no hesitation at all, she nodded.
She didn¡¯t want to return to ss, and she also didn¡¯t want to see Yin Shaojie.
¡°Then let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll take you out,¡± Lu Yichen said. Turning around, he started walking in the opposite direction.
Mu Xiaoxiao was perplexed. That wasn¡¯t the way to the school gate. Curious, she asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t we leaving from the school entrance?¡±
¡°Of course not. The entrance is guarded; it¡¯s not convenient,¡± Lu Yichen answered.
His vision was sharp. Spotting a teacher from afar, he pulled on her hand.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s reflexes were a little slower, but she still managed to hide in a nearby corridor before her form teacher walked past.
She patted her chest in rm and whispered to him, ¡°That¡¯s my form teacher.¡±
Because she had almost been caught, her heart was still pounding.
Sheughed uncontrobly and said, ¡°That was so exciting!¡±
Lu Yichen nced down and realized then that he was still grasping her hand. Letting go of it inconspicuously, he pretended that nothing had happened and said to her, ¡°Let¡¯s go now; be careful.¡±
¡°Alright!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s adventurous spirit rose in her, and her whole being was abuzz with excitement.
Then, Lu Yichen took her to a detached little building.
¡°Where is this ce?¡± she asked.
¡°The physical education equipment room,¡± Lu Yichen replied, leading her to the back door. There was a passage there that lead to a wall.
Mu Xiaoxiao understood immediately, and pleasantly surprised, she asked, ¡°Is the ce beyond this wall outside the school?¡±
¡°Yeah. The wall here is shorter, and if there aren¡¯t any physical education sses, there won¡¯t be many people around,¡± Lu Yichen exined as he pulled out adder from a nearby corner.
While supporting thedder, he indicated that she should climb up.
¡°How did you know about this ce?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked as she climbed.
Obviously, she would be surprised that someone like him, who looked like a good student, would y truant.
Lu Yichen grinned. ¡°I¡¯m on the basketball team, and this is our secret passage.¡±
¡°Woah, you¡¯re on the basketball team?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao began taking note of the scenery.
Seeing that she was already on top of the wall, he said, ¡°Don¡¯t move now that you¡¯re there; wait for me.¡±
¡°Okay!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao replied obediently as she sat on the ledge and swung her fair, skinny legs.
Lu Yichen was very nimble and scaled thedder in two or three moves.
Mu Xiaoxiao nced left and right as she sat there looking at the scenery, wondering where this ce was.
Lu Yichen swung himself over the wall quickly. At the bottom, he said to her, ¡°Come down. I¡¯ll hold you. Don¡¯t be scared ¡ª it¡¯s not high here, so you won¡¯t fall.¡±
Even if she fell, there was a patch of grass below, and it wouldn¡¯t hurt too much.
Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t actually afraid at all. She usually climbed up and down all over the ce like a tomboy anyway. Yet right now, when facing a gorgeous guy, shouldn¡¯t she be a little more reserved?
¡°Then¡ I¡¯m going to jump now!¡± She jumped off immediately after finishing her sentence.
¡°Wait!¡±
He was trying to tell her toe down, not jump down!
Lu Yichen couldn¡¯t stop her in time, and her lithe frame had already jumped down. He went forward to catch her hastily.
Luckily, the wall here was shorter, and Mu Xiaoxiao was not hurt, only losing her bnce. She ended up hurtling into his chest and his embrace.
They were standing chest to chest now. However, only half a second had passed before she blushed and pushed off him.

¡°Ahem.¡± Lu Yichen let out an awkward cough and took a gentlemanly step back, his face unnaturally red.
¡°Are you okay?¡± he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m fine¡ Now where do we go?¡±
¡°You don¡¯t have anywhere you want to be?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a while before grinning at him. ¡°Rule number one of ying truant is that you shouldn¡¯t loiter near school, or you will be dead meat if a teacher identally sees you.¡±
Lu Yichen chuckled at her cute expression and said, ¡°I see that you are very experienced.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go to the bus stop then before we continue our discussion on where to go,¡± he suggested.
¡°Okay,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao answered before heading off in a random direction like a headless fly.
¡°It¡¯s this way.¡±
¡°Oh, oh!¡± Her face reddened and she turned around quickly to follow him.
The bus stop was not too far away and only had a few people. Mu Xiaoxiao thought this experience a novelty and arched her neck to look at the bus information board.
¡°Have you thought of where you want to go?¡± Lu Yichen asked again. Even though he looked like he alredy had an idea, he still asked the girl for her opinion.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her little head. ¡°I dont know where to go¡ How about you? I¡¯m fine with going anywhere, so it¡¯s up to you.¡±
She had studied overseas in America since middle school, and though she came back once in a while, she was still very unfamiliar with the surroundings here.
¡°Want to go to the bowling alley? I know just the right ce,¡± he said.
¡°Sure!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly.
Just then, a public bus arrived. Lu Yichen indicated that she should board it, and surmising that she probably didn¡¯t have any pocket money, he paid her fare himself but swiped his with his bus pass.
¡°Come up,¡± he said. She had been following him behind when he seemed to remember something suddenly and asked, ¡°Have you never ridden on a public bus?¡±
¡°Of course I have!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao eximed. After climbing up the steps of the bus, she lifted her head and nced at the interior. ¡°But there aren¡¯t any seats left. Let¡¯s go,¡± she said gloomily.
Actually, she had been lying earlier. She had never taken a bus in China, even though she had ridden buses in America. Over there, they didn¡¯t allow anyone to board if all the seats were taken.
Seeing that she really wanted to get off the bus, Lu Yichen chuckled in surprise and hastily stopped her from doing so. ¡°Don¡¯t get down. It¡¯ll be the same for the next bus ¡ª it won¡¯t have any seats too.¡±
Even though the seats were all upied, there was still a lot of room for passengers to stand.
¡°Then what are we going to do?¡± The driver red at Mu Xiaoxiao, which made her rush up the steps. Just as she passed him, the bus started to move. Shocked, she almost lost her bnce.
¡°Hold this right here to keep your bnce,¡± he said, taking her to the rear of the bus near the back door so that she could grab a pole.
She was on the shorter side, so it would be difficult for her to hold on to the handrail like he was doing.
Lu Yichen had guessed long ago that she had never been on a public bus. So, he stood in front of her to supervise and protect her.
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her eyes discreetly and studied his handsome face. The distance between them was a little close, reminding her of the idol dramas that she had watched, where the male and female leads would also have such a simrly intimate scene while riding the bus.
¡ª¡ª
When Mu Xiaoxiao was busy ying truant.
On the other side of town.
In Year Two¡¯s ss S, the atmosphere was exceptionally bizarre. For the teacher, he felt extremely uneasy throughout the entire period. When atst the bell rang for the end of ss, the teacher wiped his sweat and announced hastily, ¡°ss dismissed!¡±
He then ran out of the ssroom with his tail between his legs.
Everyone in the ss could feel the tension emanating from Yin Shaojie and see his infuriated expression. No one dared to get close to him.

Usually when ss ended, Wu Hao, the assistant, would have already rushed to Yin Shaojie¡¯s side to begin his round of bootlicking. However, the former did not dare to go near him right now until Yin Shaojie called his name, whereupon he walked over, trembling in fear.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s face was dark. He was drumming his slender fingers on the table and looked especially frustrated. After he called Wu Hao over, it was a long while before he opened his mouth to speak.
¡°You. Go to Year One¡¯s ss S and do something for me.¡±
¡°What¡¯s the matter, Young Master Jie?¡± Wu Hao answered obediently, practically standing at attention and awaiting his instructions.
Yin Shaojie frowned as he ruminated. He beckoned Wu Hao to bend down. In a low voice, he whispered, ¡°Go to that ss and observe if Mu Xiaoxiao is inside. Report back what her situation is, but don¡¯t let her know of your presence.¡±
Even though Wu Hao did notprehend Young Master Jie¡¯s intentions for doing this, he still nodded obediently and answered, ¡°Understood.¡±
¡°Be quick about it.¡± Yin Shaojie waved him off, and the gloom in his face seemed to have rxed a little.
¡°I¡¯m on it!¡± Wu Hao said obsequiously as he ran out of the ssroom.
Yet, he had not gone far from the ssroom before he ran into Bai Meijiao walking towards him.
Bai Meijiao was the prettiest girl in the freshmen batch of Year Ones, and she was also Young Master Jie¡¯s current girlfriend.
Seeing Bai Meijiao, Wu Hao quickly fawned upon her, calling out, ¡°Sister-inw! Looking for Young Master Jie? He is waiting for you inside.¡±
Bai Meijiao smiled prettily. Her face was fair and clear and looked as white as snow. She asked, ¡°Where are you going then? Buying something for him?¡±
¡°No, Young Master Jie wants me to go to Year One¡¯s ss S to help him look for someone.¡±
Bai Meijiao¡¯s curiosity was aroused. With an air of nonchnce, she asked, ¡°Who is he looking for? Is it a guy or a girl?¡±
¡°She¡¯s a girl called Mu Xiaoxiao.¡± Usually, Wu Hao curried favor with the women Young Master Jie hung out with by answering all their questions faithfully. This enabled him to cultivate excellent rtionships with them under the table.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao¡¡± Bai Meijiao narrowed her eyes. She remembered the girl who came to look for Yin Shaojie yesterday. Could it be her?
She asked, ¡°What¡¯s her rtionship with Brother Shaojie?¡±
¡°About that¡ I don¡¯t really know either. I¡¯m only acting upon Young Master Jie¡¯s orders,¡± Wu Hao replied awkwardly.
If there were any news, he would not conceal it from Bai Meijiao.
Even though he did not know how long she would be hanging around Young Master Jie, being able to offer his usefulness in exchange for her connections was also a form of bribery that he thought might be useful in the future.
Bai Meijiao remembered her fury yesterday and began to harbor animosity towards Mu Xiaoxiao. She smiled suddenly and said to Wu Hao, ¡°I¡¯m a little thirsty. Go and get me a drink from the grocery store, and get one for Brother Shaojie too.¡±
Seeing Wu Hao hesitate, Bai Meijiao red at him with her pretty eyes and said, ¡°Is Mu Xiaoxiao more important, or am I more important? Think about it carefully.¡±
She lifted her chin with pride.
Wu Hao considered this. Recently, Bai Meijiao had been highly favored, and she might even break the record to be Young Master Jie¡¯s longest girlfriend. Also, there were currently no signs of Young Master Jie getting bored of her or acquiring a new target. With this assessment, he concluded that Bai Meijiao was slightly more important.
Thus, in a bootlicking manner, he answered, ¡°Sister-inw, the answer is obvious! You¡¯re naturally more important. Alright, I¡¯ll go and buy the drinks right now!¡±
Bai Meijiao then gave a satisfied smile. ¡°Rx. I¡¯m on your side, so Brother Shaojie won¡¯t be angry. Go and get the drinks for us first before searching for Mu Xiaoxiao, whoever she is.¡±

She calcted that when Wu Hao came back from buying the drinks, it would be almost time for ss.
Wu Hao added ingratiatingly, ¡°But of course. Sister-inw, a singlemand of yours trumps ten of those from another person¡¯s.¡±
¡°Good. Now get going.¡±
¡°I¡¯m on it!¡±
Seeing that Wu Hao had gone far in the direction of the grocery store, Bai Meijiao then turned her gaze away smugly, twisting her little waist as she strolled towards Year Two¡¯s ss S.
¡°Brother Shaojie.¡± Once in the door, she walked towards Yin Shaojie coyly.
The table beside Yin Shaojie¡¯s had always been left empty specifically for the girls who came to visit him.
Bai Meijiao sat in the chair beside him and wrapped her slender hands around Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm, sticking to him like a coquettish little pet.
She waited for a long while, but Yin Shaojie did not reply. It was then that she realized that the atmosphere in the ss was weird. Lifting her head up, she was shocked that Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face was shrouded in coldness.
¡°Brother Shaojie, what¡¯s wrong? Who made you angry?¡± she asked, putting on a face of concern.
Yin Shaojie was already irritated, and seeing that she was here, his irritation increased.
¡°Why are you here?¡± he asked coldly. He pushed her leaning form off of him, not allowing her to wrap herself around him as though she was boneless.
¡°I missed you.¡± Bai Meijiao batted her eyshes and acted cute.
However, Yin Shaojie ignored her as though his thoughts were imed by something else.
Bai Meijiao was displeased but did not dare to show it. Her sixth sense told her that Yin Shaojie was currently thinking about the woman named Mu Xiaoxiao.
A whileter, Wu Hao arrived from buying the drinks. Huffing at the door with a bottle in each hand, he walked over to them.
¡°Young Master Jie, your drink,¡± he said, cing the bottles in front of them.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s face turned ashen. His gaze moved from the drinks to Wu Hao¡¯s face, and in a tone that suggested he was clenching his teeth, asked, ¡°Did I order you to get drinks?¡±
Wu Hao quickly turned towards Bai Meijiao.
Bai Meijiao leaned onto Yin Shaojie¡¯s body coyly again, and while smiling femininely, she said, ¡°I was the one who asked him to get drinks; I wanted to take care of you and was scared that you might be thirsty.¡±
For half a second, the air felt like something cold had mysteriously frozen it.
Suddenly, Yin Shaojie pushed Bai Meijiao away roughly. His eyes swept across her coldly, and in a ruthless voice, he roared, ¡°Scram! Disappear from my sight. I don¡¯t want to see you ever again!¡±
Bai Meijiao, shocked and dumbfounded, stared at him as though she had never imagined that he would ever be so furious. It took a while for her to regain her senses before she said obsequiously, ¡°Brother Shaojie¡ W-what do you mean? Don¡¯t be angry anymore. I know it¡¯s my fault, so don¡¯t chase me away¡¡±
She put on a pitiful face as she said this, her eyes wet with tears as though she would cry if his tone was harsher.
When girls gave made such an expression, they were waiting for the guy to coax them out of it.
However, she had miscalcted. Yin Shaojie was in a bad mood right now and was especially not in the mood to coax her.
Yin Shaojie never coaxed women, and the woman in front of him would not be an exception.
¡°Don¡¯t make me say it twice!¡± he bellowed coldly. His gazended onto Wu Hao, and he asked, ¡°Have you done what I asked of you just now?¡±
¡°N-not yet¡¡± Wu Hao trembled before his gaze.
His reflexes were quicker than Bai Meijiao¡¯s, and he said hastily, ¡°Young Master Jie, please don¡¯t be angry. I¡¯ll go now, right now!¡±
Then, he scurried out.

¡°Brother Shaojie¡¡± Bai Meijiao looked at him intively with a pitiful gaze.
¡°Scram!¡± Yin Shaojie shouted with no hint of tenderness, his gaze now horrific. The witnesses around him shrunk back in terror.
This included the coy Bai Meijiao, who became terrified immediately.
¡°So what you meant just now was¡ you¡¯re breaking up with me?¡± she asked in a daze as though she had to clear all doubt before she agreed to believe that that was the truth.
Yin Shaojie said icily, ¡°Yes. From today onwards, you are not Yin Shaojie¡¯s girlfriend anymore.¡±
Bai Meijiao staggered and almost fell.
However, she noticed that he wasn¡¯t looking at her anymore as though it was not his concern whether she was dead or alive at all.
It was hard to ept the truth. Why, oh why was he so heartless?
She had heard before that Young Master Jie was not a devoted man ¡ª when he was dating someone, he would be really sweet to her, but once he broke up with her, he would be cold and heartless, and the thought of him giving a d*mn about her on the basis of their past rtionship was impossible.
Yet¡ Yet¡ She had thought that she had been different!
Yin Shaojie¡¯s words shocked Bai Meijiao like a bolt from the blue.
However, to the other girls, this news was wonderful!
It was especially so for the girls of this ss, for not one of them did not fight tooth and nail to get into this ss to get close to Young Master Jie. As the saying goes, the pavilion closest to the water enjoys moonlight first, and the girls¡¯ proximity with the influential Young Master Jie would mean that they were the first to benefit from him.
Things were awesome now that Young Master Jie was single again. Every one of them had the chance to be his girlfriend now.
Thus, they treated Bai Meijiao with nopassion and shouted for her to get out.
¡°Why are you so shameless? Young Master Jie has already told you to leave, and you¡¯re still standing there so brazenly trying totch onto him. Hurry up and get out, and don¡¯t step foot in our ss ever again.¡±
¡°I know, right? Don¡¯t you see that Young Master Jie can¡¯t be bothered with you anymore? Who do you think you are? Hurry up and scram. Stop blocking Young Master Jie¡¯s view.¡±
Bai Meijiao¡¯s face turned paler.
Never had she suffered such humiliation!
Since the day she entered Shangde, her prettiness,bined with coincidence, had quickly propelled her to be Young Master Jie¡¯s girlfriend and thetest school beauty. Shangde had an unspoken rule that whoever became Young Master Jie¡¯s girlfriend was by default the school¡¯s beauty queen.
She had always basked in this honor and felt that she was the only one to be loved out of his entire harem of girls.
However, her status plummeted from how elevated it had been before.
Bai Meijiao, after all, was only a sixteen-year-old girl. Unable to withstand the girls¡¯ cutting words, she ran out while crying.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t even nce at her, but he swept his eyes over the crowd before him coldly. Everyone shut up immediately.
His heart was uneasy now, and it was an unspeakable uneasiness.
However, he didn¡¯t know its reason.
He couldn¡¯t help but think that he should look for Mu Xiaoxiao personally instead.
Even though the one at fault was her, he had room to be magnanimous and did not want to argue with her any longer. Anyway, when they were at loggerheads with each other as kids, he had given in to her more than once already; to do so once more wouldn¡¯t matter.
At this thought, he prepared to get up, but Wu Hao had already returned, rushing over in a hurry. Before he had even collected his breath, he blurted, ¡°Young Master Jie, the person you¡¯re looking for isn¡¯t in ss. I¡¯ve asked her ssmates, and they said that she had gone out after first period and never returned.¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze turned severe. ¡°What did you say? She didn¡¯t go back to ss?! Where did she go?¡±

Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze turned severe. ¡°What did you say? She didn¡¯t go back to ss?! Where did she go?¡±
No wonder he had felt so uneasy. His sense of foreboding had been urate!
But where could the girl have gone?
He couldn¡¯t help but recall her crying face as she ran out, and he became even more frustrated.
Wu Hao¡¯s face soured as he answered, ¡°I¡¯m also not sure about this¡¡±
Internally, he was puzzled. What was this girl¡¯s rtionship with Young Master Jie that made him care about her so much?
Yin Shaojie stood up, his face ck. ¡°Let¡¯s go! Even if we turn the school inside out, we must find her!¡± he eximed.
Wu Hao¡¯s forehead was wet with sweat. Had this girl offended Young Master Jie? This was the first time that he had seen Young Master Jie¡¯s temper re up so badly, and he looked furious.
The ssmates who were watching had the same question and wondered what had happened. They also wondered who Young Master Jie was trying to look for. However, no one dared to ask about it or even make a sound, for Young Master Jie currently emanated a deathly, unapproachable aura. Who would dare to offend him right now?
It was only after Young Master Jie left the ss that everyone looked at each other and began discussing the matter in low voices.
¡°Did you see that?¡± Young Master Jie¡¯s face was so dark! I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve ever seen him so angry. Do you think the person he¡¯s looking for did something to rouse his ire?
¡°Looks like it!¡±
¡°She¡¯s dead meat! When Young Master Jie¡¯s angry, he¡¯s terrifying.¡±
¡°I know, right¡¡±
Everyone shuddered with fear as this was mentioned.
¡ª¡ª¨C
The reason Wu Hao could be Young Master Jie¡¯s assistant was not only through his bootlicking skills but also his efficiency at handling matters. He made his way to the security post swiftly and learned that no student had left school midway today.
In conclusion, could Mu Xiaoxiao still be in school?
Hearing this piece of new, Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression lifted a little, and he allowed Wu Hao to give orders to search the entire school just like he had said. They must find Mu Xiaoxiao no matter what!
Even though the campus at Shangde was enormous, with Yin Shaojie¡¯s influence, it was not difficult to find someone, and it could be said to be a piece of cake.
However, what had never crossed his mind was that the end result was that no one could locate Mu Xiaoxiao?
¡°Why can¡¯t she be found?¡± He red at Wu Hao in anger.
Wu Hao¡¯s forehead dripped with sweat incessantly, but he did not dare to wipe it off. Timidly, he said, ¡°We¡¯ve searched all the possible ces, in all corners. We even searched the teacher¡¯s office and the student hostels, but¡ we just can¡¯t find her. Maybe she¡¯s no longer in school?¡±
Yin Shaojieughed icily and said, ¡°No longer in school? Does she have wings to fly out of school then?¡±
The security guards had already affirmed that Mu Xiaoxiao had not been seen leaving school. If she wasn¡¯t in school, where else could she have gone?
¡°This¡ Young Master Jie, I don¡¯t know about that either. Oh! Maybe she left school by another route? Maybe she went a way where the security guards could not have discovered her or a way that doesn¡¯t involve the main entrance so that they could not have seen her?
Thinking quickly on his feet, Wu Hao spoke the ideas that came into his head.
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes. ¡°She¡¯s new to Shangde. How could she possibly have known how to get out of the school by other means?¡±
Even though he said that, it was possibly the only solution that could satisfy the problem.
If not, how could Mu Xiaoxiao have disappeared without a trace?
Yin Shaojie was a non-believer in ghosts, so he didn¡¯t feel that anything supernatural had happened.
Chapter 56 - It Was Him Who Took Mu Xiaoxiao Away

However, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mysterious disappearance did make him anxious. He was worried that she would do something silly or get into an ident in her unhappy state.
D*mmit!
He couldn¡¯t help but berate himself internally. He should have run after her from the beginning! Why had he frozen for those few seconds?
It was because she had cried suddenly, which had dumbfounded him a little. If not, he would not have made such a simple mistake.
Wu Hao could be considered the know-it-all of Shangde. He knew a thing or two about the school, and he swiftlypiled a list of spots in the school where one could leave unnoticed if they had not gone out from the main entrance.
¡°Oh, and Young Master Jie, doesn¡¯t the school have surveince cameras? There may be a lead from searching their surveince feeds.¡±
Yin Shaojie had forgotten about this from his moment of panic. He nodded and said, ¡°Do that then! Gob through the feeds now.¡±
Feeling trapped, Wu Hao looked at him. ¡°But¡ only the Principal has the right to look at the surveince feeds.¡±
Thus, he had no way to check the feeds. This needed Young Master Jie¡¯s personal intervention.
¡°Right,¡± Yin Shaojie said calmly before walking in the direction of the Principal¡¯s office.
Wu Hao rushed after him.
¡ª¨C
In the Principal¡¯s office.
The chair behind the office table was upied by Yin Shaojie. The Principal was standing beside him and could only smile helplessly. Respectfully, he told Yin Shaojie, ¡°Young Master Jie, this is the school¡¯s surveince system, and it has 300 surveince points in total. Please feel free to look through any of them.¡±
300? There are so many of them? Yin Shaojie¡¯s brows furrowed.
Wu Hao knew what he was thinking at once when he said that expression. He stepped forward and offered, ¡°Young Master Jie, should I look through them instead?¡±
Surprisingly, Yin Shaojie rejected him. ¡°No, I¡¯ll do this myself!¡±
Wu Hao was a little dumbfounded, but he did not dare to say anything. He stepped back and waited for further instructions.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s beautiful fingers pounded on the keyboard deftly. This was supposed to be his first time interacting with this system, yet he seemed very familiar with it without asking the Principal to guide him, and he navigated it by himself proficiently.
Wu Hao was stupified at this disy. Even though he was only familiar with usingputers to y games, he could tell from Young Master Jie¡¯s actions that he knew his way around theputer like the back of his hand.
He had been Young Master Jie¡¯s follower for a long time, but he had not known that Young Master Jie had such a great skill.
Yin Shaojie soon picked out the few locations that Wu Hao had mentioned and fast-forwarded six of the feeds simultaneously.
He looked as if he could see everything in a nce, staring at the feeds without blinking.
Behind him, Wu Hao¡¯s eyes were blurry from observing. Only ten minutes had passed before his eyes felt extremely astringent, dry, and ufortable.
However, Yin Shaojie looked unaffected at all and even increased the yback speed.
Another ten minutes passed.
Wu Hao felt that his head was beginning to swell, and that his difort would be unbearable soon. However, he didn¡¯t dare toze off and continued to stare at the feeds.
Suddenly, Yin Shaojie snapped and said, ¡°Found it!¡±
Wu Hao jumped in fright, and his senses were roused. He quickly shifted his gaze over.
Yin Shaojie maximized the feed that he had found. They could clearly see that Mu Xiaoxiao was led into the physical education equipment room by a guy.
When Wu Hao saw who the guy was, he was inevitably astonished and cried out in surprise, ¡°Lu Yichen? Why is it him?¡±
Yin Shaojie had also seen that it was Lu Yichen. Instantly, his expression turned cold.
¡°Pow!¡± A fistnded on the table loudly.
Chapter 57 - An Important Person to Her
Chapter 57: An Important Person to Her
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Both Wu Hao and the Principal jumped in shock and looked at Yin Shaojie with terror on their faces.
At this moment, Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression was not just dark and ugly but horribly icy!
His eyes were glued to Mu Xiaoxiao and Lu Yichen¡¯s figures in the surveince feed. The anger in his chest mimicked that of an explosive volcano, boiling turbulently as if it wanted to burn the entire screen away.
Why had he even worried about her!
He had been anxious about her well-being for more than an hour, afraid that she might have gotten into an ident.
Yet, she was frolicking around with Lu Yichen!
Thinking about how she had run off crying in search of Lu Yichen made Yin Shaojie¡¯s mood even nastier.
It seemed that in her heart, Lu Yichen, a new acquaintance, was more important than him, who was her childhood friend!
This was just wonderful!
Mu Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re such a good person!
Yin Shaojie gritted his teeth as he red at the image of Mu Xiaoxiao on the screen. She was conversing with Lu Yichen, and her delicate face was all smiles and showed no sign of tears.
The atmosphere in the office felt like it had reached 0 degrees Celcius.
Wu Hao and the Principal froze in ce and even held their breaths. They didn¡¯t dare to move an inch because they were afraid of being identally caught in Yin Shaojie¡¯s extremely obvious fury, which looked as if it couldsh out at anytime.
¡ª¡ª
On the other hand, on the other side of town.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Lu Yichen arrived at their destination after a ride on the public bus.
They had been on the bus for more than an hour, for the bowling alley was a little far from the school.
They should have arrived earlier than expected, but Mu Xiaoxiao spotted some interesting shops nearby after they got off the bus, which led them to enter and browse a little. However, she didn¡¯t buy anything at all and only window-shopped around before she made her way to the bowling alley with Lu Yichen.
Lu Yichen studied her and asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you buy anything? Didn¡¯t you like the perfume you saw just now?¡±
It was natural for girls to like things that smelled nice.
He had observed that she had kept sniffing at some of the perfumes, and she looked as though she had liked them a lot. He had thought that she would purchase them, yet she had put them back instead and pulled him out of the shop quickly, her face filled with obvious regret.
That was why he was puzzled.
Actually, he did not usually ask questions, but today was an exception.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and shook her head. ¡°I liked them a lot, but I can¡¯t buy them.¡±
¡°Why can¡¯t you?¡± Lu Yichen couldn¡¯t help but ask, something he usually didn¡¯t do.
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to think about someone, and her smile faded. She sounded a little down as she said, ¡°Because the person whom I¡¯m staying with doesn¡¯t like such things.¡±
Lu Yichen hadn¡¯t noticed the change in her expression. Smiling, he said, ¡°You¡¯re such a thoughtful person. The person who¡¯s living with you must be dear to your heart.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought about Yin Shaojie and felt a mix of anger and sadness, but she did not acknowledge Lu Yichen¡¯s words.
It was true that Yin Shaojie had made her upset with his words and was usually a proud narcissist who was overbearing and shameless, yet¡ he was actually a really important person to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head to clear her mind. She did not want to think about that b*stard, Yin Shaojie, any longer and wreck her finally good mood.
Luckily, both of them arrived at the bowling alley just then.
Mu Xiaoxiao kept her emotions in check and smiled yfully at Lu Yichen. ¡°Are you good at this? Wanna have a matchter?¡± she asked.
She was unaware that Yin Shaojie was currently ransacking the entire school to look for her and even more oblivious to the storm raging around him.

Lu Yichen nodded. ¡°Sure. You know how to bowl?¡±
It wasn¡¯t unnatural for him to be a little surprised. Guys were the ones who usually liked to bowl, and girls who did like it were a minority. Girls who knew how to bowl were even rarer.
Mu Xiaoxiao smirked and looked pleased. ¡°Of course! I¡¯m the queen of bowling!
Bowling was very popr in America. She had been studying there since middle school for about three to four years, so naturally, she had gone bowling with her friends numerous times. She had mainly learned how to bowl because she was a person who didn¡¯t like to lose at things.
Lu Yichen was tickled by her cute expression.
His heart skipped a beat as he suddenly realized that he hadughed a lot today, which was something that he had never done.
Lu Yichen led her around the ce with an air of familiarity and picked out a good spot. ¡°What do you want to drink? They also sell things you can eat here,¡± he said.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat on a nearby chair, intending to take a little rest. However, her phone slipped out from her pocket.
She bent over to retrieve it and suddenly thought of Yin Shaojie.
Did he try to look for her? If he couldn¡¯t find her in ss, would he call her?
She pressed on her phone¡¯s keyboard, but the screen did not light up. She made a noise of astonishment and pressed it once more, but the screen still remained dark. Her face fell.
Her phone was unexpectedly out of power!
Thinking back, she recalled that she had forgotten to charge her phone because she had been busy arguing over the right to the bedroom with Yin Shaojie the previous night, and she had also overlooked it when she woke up this morning.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± he asked when he saw her actions.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and said gloomily, ¡°My phone is out of battery.¡±
Lu Yichen nced at her phone and said, ¡°Do you want to charge it? I can help you ask around for a charger.¡±
¡°Can you really?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao turned to him dly. After all, a phone was something that modern day humans could not part with. If her phone was out of battery for a long time, she worried that there may be people, such as Yin Shaojie, who might want to contact her urgently to, for example, apologize to her. Thus, it would be troublesome if her phone was out of battery.
¡°Yeah.¡± Lu Yichen nodded and walked towards the reception area.
After a short while, he brought an Apple charger back with him, but following him was another man.
The man looked as though he was familiar with Lu Yichen, and he was having a conversation with him.
When he arrived before Mu Xiaoxiao, the man was shocked at the sight of her. He pped Lu Yichen¡¯s shoulder and remarked suggestively, ¡°My man! You¡¯ve actually brought a girl here! Is she your girlfriend?¡±
Lu Yichen said gravely, ¡°No, she¡¯s just a friend. Don¡¯t spout nonsense.¡±
The man looked like he didn¡¯t believe him. He turned towards Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve seen Yichen with a girl. Your rtionship¡ it can¡¯t be as simple as a conventional friendship, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little astonished. Had Lu Yichen never brought his girlfriend over?
She smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m his junior. We¡¯re really just friends.¡±
Lu Yichen introduced them, ¡°This is the boss here, Brother Hui, and this is my junior, Mu Xiaoxiao.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was well-mannered. She smiled sweetly and said, ¡°Hello Brother Hui!¡±
Brother Hui looked a little sorry but still greeted Mu Xiaoxiao warmly before saying, ¡°This dude has been working here for a long time, but you¡¯re still the first girl he¡¯s brought over. Don¡¯t worry haha. I¡¯ll give you guys a 50 percent discount since he¡¯s my employee.¡±
¡°Thank you, Brother Hui!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao expressed her appreciation.
Internally, she was a little shocked. So Lu Yichen worked here?
No wonder he was so familiar with this ce.

Chapter 59: Her Crafty Expression
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
However, what was most astonishing was that he was working while still being a Year Three student in high school. This was really indicative of his poverty as Yu Zhe had said.
Even though he still had to work as a student, he was still the top student in his year, which was impressive.
Brother Hui was very considerate and understanding, and he did not disturb them further. After he greeted them, he left.
Mu Xiaoxiao then looked towards Lu Yichen and asked, ¡°Do you usually work here? It¡¯s so far from school.¡±
Lu Yichen replied, ¡°Ie here only on the weekends. This ce isn¡¯t far from my home, and the pay is higher too.¡±
However, he did not want to continue this conversation and changed the topic quickly. He took her to activate the ball resurfacing machine and picked out a ball before handing it to her.
¡°Try the feel of this.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was sensible and did not press the matter further. She would not ask if he didn¡¯t want to talk.
She received the ball and smiled sweetly. ¡°Aren¡¯t we going to have a match? How are we going to y?¡±
She didn¡¯t know if the rules she had used in America would be the same back home.
With that said, she held the ball, made her way to the front of thene, and threw the ball to have a feel for it.
She hit three pins, and the sound of them falling down rang out clearly.
Lu Yichen observed her correct ying form, and his eyes filled with admiration. She wasn¡¯t exaggerating ¡ª she could really y and was not bad at it.
Even though she only hit three pins, it was natural for that to happen because it had only been her first ball and she was not used to the grip yet.
He replied, ¡°I¡¯m fine with anything. How do you want to y?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao went over to grab another ball and threw it again. The pins mmed down loudly, and this time, seven pins fell down.
She was smiling gaily, her dark, grape-like eyes brimming with confidence. She said to him, ¡°Then how about this: we¡¯ll bowl ten times and see who scores higher. How about that?¡±
And of course, when there was a game, there would be betting.
Lu Yichen smiled lightly. Looking at her mischievous and crafty smile, he humored her and said, ¡°Sure, what do you want to bet?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao tapped her fingers together and thought about the terms. ¡°Let¡¯s do this: the person who wins can request something of the other person, but it can¡¯t be too ridiculous and must be something feasible,¡± she said.
¡°Okay,¡± he agreed.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes shined with cunning, and she said, ¡°I¡¯ll start first, then we¡¯ll take turns.¡±
Lu Yichen did not have any objections. Even though it was obvious that she looked overjoyed that she was getting away with her scheme, he did not really mind.
Mu Xiaoxiao had already bowled twice earlier. This was her third time throwing, and her grip had naturally improved. She jumped in joy as she knocked down eight pins.
It was now Lu Yichen¡¯s turn.
He had no chance to test the balls, so his first throw was bad ¡ª only two pins.
Mu Xiaoxiao wasughing with glee, and she even patted his shoulder and consoled him, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Once you¡¯ve thrown a few more balls, you¡¯ll find your grip.¡±
However, when he finally got used to the feel, her points would already be way ahead of his.
She had been nning for this all along.
Bowling was a sport that tested a user¡¯s grip. Few could score high on their first try, and it took some time to find one¡¯s feel before one could throw urately.
She had tested the ball twice already, but she hadn¡¯t let him do so. Of course her odds of winning would be high.
Hehe, all¡¯s fair in war!

So, if he lost, he couldn¡¯t me her. All he could do was admit that she was smarter than him.
On her second throw, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s score was not bad at seven points.
It was now his turn. He held the ball and walked over, his gaze forward. The ball left his hand, and the m of the pins was heard. This time, he hit all of the pins!
Ten points!
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a second. What kind of situation was this?
Who could throw a strike on their second try?
This was illogical!
She smiled mockingly. ¡°Your luck¡¯s not bad!¡±
Lu Yichen smiled, and there was a little interest in his eyes. He didn¡¯t offer an exnation and just agreed with her. ¡°Yeah, it was lucky.¡±
On her third throw, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s standard dropped, and she only scored two points.
Lu Yichen shot her a nce, the corner of his mouth curling into a smile. He held the ball and moved forward, throwing his ball out beautifully.
Ten points again!
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned, and her jaw dropped. ¡°You¡¡±
One strike could be considered lucky, but throwing a double didn¡¯t indicate just luck but ability.
Lu Yichen smirked. ¡°I just got a good grip on the ball.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. ¡°That¡¯s too good a grip¡¡±
Strikes weren¡¯t actually that hard to score. She had scored consecutive strikes before, but it had only been near the end of the game when she had gotten the hang of the game.
She was not like him, where he scored strikes for two out of his first three throws when he hadn¡¯t even warmed up.
How could she enjoy this game anymore?
It was her turn to throw again. Due to his provocation, Mu Xiaoxiao was really conscientious this time. She had to score a strike, or she would look like a loser next to him!
Nevertheless, this was not a world where what one wanted equaled what one would get.
This time, Mu Xiaoxiao scored nine points, with only one pin standing. She wrung her hands in despair.
¡°Almost!¡± She wanted to throw up blood out of pity.
Lu Yichen said encouragingly, ¡°Next time, you¡¯ll score a strike. Try your best!¡±
It was his turn again. This time, he threw the ball more casually, but the result was still the same ¡ª ten points again.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him as though he was an alien and said gloomily, ¡°Are you even human? How are you so good?¡±
Lu Yichen¡¯s face was full of warmth as he smiled and exined, ¡°When I work here, the guests sometimes request that I y with them. That¡¯s how I trained my grip.¡±
Plus, it was his home field here. Obviously, their advantages would be different.
Actually, he had casually thrown his previous ball to go easy on her. However, his feel for the game was extraordinarily good today, and he was able to get a strike with such a throw. It must have been fate; he couldn¡¯t go against that.
Even before the end of the match, Mu Xiaoxiao felt that she was already going to lose.
Lu Yichen noticed her expression and said considerately, ¡°How about we call off the bet? We¡¯re here to kill time anyway; ying a casual game is good enough.
¡°How is that okay!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was serious as she looked at him and said, ¡°Since we¡¯ve already bet on it, I¡¯ll go through with it and ept any losses. Don¡¯t worry. I, Mu Xiaoxiao, am not a sore loser. Also, don¡¯t think about going easy on me, or I¡¯ll be pissed!¡±
¡°Okay,¡± he replied mildly. However, his gaze was fixated on her determined one. It was hard to look away from a gaze that was bursting with so much life.
It wasn¡¯t surprising that Mu Xiaoxiao lost.
Originally, Lu Yichen had wanted to request something carelessly. However, her stare suggested that his request was not something that he could just say; it had to undergo careful consideration. It was a sign of respect to her as the loser.
Lu Yichen smiled helplessly. He had never seen anyone take a loss so seriously.

Lu Yichen smiled helplessly. He had never seen anyone take a loss so seriously.
Inevitably, he had to humor her in the end.
Both of them yed for more than an hour before Mu Xiaoxiao felt tired. She sat aside and watched him y instead.
Her eyes darted about as an idea came to her. She ran over to the counter and approached Brother Hui. With an invulnerable smile, she said, ¡°Brother Hui! I have something to ask of you!¡±
Brother Hui smiled and said, ¡°What is it?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao leaned forward. In a tone that was audible to only the both of them, she discussed her matter with him.
She finally returned to Lu Yichen¡¯s side after a while.
Lu Yichen looked at her and asked, ¡°Are you tired, or do you still want to y?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao handed a cup of green tea to him while shaking her head. ¡°I don¡¯t want to bowl anymore. I want to y something else.¡±
¡°What do you want to y?¡± he asked with an air of wanting to apany her to do anything she wanted.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed mischievously and blurted out two words, ¡°Let¡¯s work!¡±
Stunned, Lu Yichen looked at her in puzzlement.
It turned out that she had gone to look for Brother Hui to suggest that aspensation for their bill, they could help attract customers to the alley.
This was because she knew that it was Lu Yichen¡¯s nature to insist upon paying the bill, which she realized was going to be very expensive upon asking about it ¡ª it was two hundred yuan for an hour of y, and it cost a hundred yuan with the 50 percent discount.
Even though a hundred yuan was a mere pittance to her, it might not be a small sum to him due to his family¡¯s financial circumstances.
Not wanting him to burn a hole in his pocket but also not wanting to hurt his pride by insisting that she pay instead, she thought of this wonderful idea that satisfied both of these concerns.
Afraid that he would suspect something, Mu Xiaoxiao put on an air of excitement as though it was really fun to work.
¡°It¡¯s only attracting ten customers. It¡¯s a piece of cake to me!¡±
She patted her chest with an expression of utmost confidence.
After she received the flyers from Brother Hui¡¯s hands, she bounded out of the door animatedly.
Just as Lu Yichen was about to follow her, Brother Hui grabbed his shoulder and said to him, ¡°This girl is not bad. Not only is she cute, but she¡¯s also lively, carefree, sensible, and thoughtful ¡ª a rarity among girls. You¡¯re well suited together, and you should take good care of her.¡±
With these parting sincere, heartfelt words, Brother Hui left.
Lu Yichen¡¯s enigmatic gaze studied Mu Xiaoxiao, who was outside the door. Her face was all smiles as she touted for customers warmly as though doing such a thing was really fun.
¡ª¨C
After Mu Xiaoxiao parted with Lu Yichen, she returned to school alone.
She was absolutely not going there because of Yin Shaojie at all. It was only because she had to retrieve her bag from her ssroom that she had to go back.
sses had long since ended when she arrived back at school. There were only a few students scattered throughout the school grounds.
Luckily, the door to the ssroom had not been locked yet. She retrieved her bag sessfully. Carrying it out, she stood at the school entrance and looked around.
Could Yin Shaojie be hiding in a corner waiting for her just likest time?
Thinking about how he had appeared yesterday made her anger almost disappearpletely.
Okay then, if he specially waited for her again, she would be gracious and forgive him.
She stood at the entrance for more than ten minutes while the sky rapidly darkened. However, there wasn¡¯t a single sign Yin Shaojie or that shy sports car of his.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s expression became increasingly gloomy. Looking around at the empty roads with no hint of even a single car¡¯s silhouette, she couldn¡¯t help but howl, ¡°Yin Shaojie! Come out right now!¡±
He must be hiding somewhere and watching her panic, right?
Chapter 62 - Had Growing Up Changed Him?

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
There was still no sign of anyone after a minute.
Momentarily, Mu Xiaoxiao felt sad. Was if that b*stard, Yin Shaojie, had already left and was not going to take her home?
Just then, the new security guard from the morning came over and said, ¡°Hello student, are you waiting for Young Master Jie? He left before school ended.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face darkened upon hearing those words.
That jerk!
He really didn¡¯t wait for her and went home by himself!
Clearly, he was the one who had spoken so outrageously to her and made her sad, yet he had no regret at all? Did it not cross his mind to cheer her up or apologize?
Mu Xiaoxiao was really sad this time. The Yin Shaojie of the past would never have treated her like this. If he made her upset, he would have racked his brains to cheer her up.
Her heart was filled with mncholy and sorrow. Had growing up changed himpletely?
Mu Xiaoxiao felt like an idiot for longing for him to pick her up earlier. A bloody idiot!
Her fury increased as she thought about it.
Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao decided to not go back. She was going to run away from home!
That¡¯s right. It was his fault, but he hadn¡¯t apologized. Why should she go back?
However, where could she go if it wasn¡¯t home?
If she went to the Yin residence, Yin Shaojie would only be relieved if he found out. It would be useless at riling his panic.
No way!
Since she was going to run away, she obviously couldn¡¯t let him know her whereabouts, which would make him worried about her.
After some thought, Mu Xiaoxiao rummaged through her bag. She counted out three thousand yuan, what she had milked from Yin Shaojie¡¯s wallet earlier in the morning.
With so much money in her hands, why should she be afraid of not having a ce to stay?
The gears in Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s head turned. In the end, she decided to go stay in a hotel! And it must be the best hotel too!
After thanking the guard, she waved a taxi down.
¡°Driver, I want to go to a hotel! The most expensive one there is!¡±
Upon hearing this, the driver was stunned. Astonished, he turned back to look at her to confirm. ¡°Student, are you sure you want to go to the most expensive one?¡± he asked.
Putting on an air of a nouveau riche, Mu Xiaoxiao said haughtily, ¡°Of course! Hurry up and drive.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± The driver had no more opinions to give. Anyway, his job was just to send passengers to wherever they wanted to go.
Half an hourter.
The taxi stopped at the most expensive district in town, in front of a splendorous and majestic hotel.
Mu Xiaoxiao gave him a hundred yuan graciously. ¡°Keep the change.¡±
¡°Thanks!¡± The driver smiled.
The hotel was deserving of its six-star rating. When the taxi stopped outside the hotel, there was even a receptionist to open the door for her. ¡°Wee. Are you looking to stay?¡± the receptionist asked with warmth in her smile.
¡°Yes.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was a wealthy young missy and did not have to pretend to have the countenance of one. Her attitude was not only polished but also natural and graceful.
She was ushered to reception.
The receptionist weed her with a professional smile. ¡°Hello Miss, may I know the type of room you would like to stay in?¡± she asked warmly.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a while before saying, ¡°I want the best presidential suite you have.¡±
The receptionist was stunned. Thinking that she had misheard, she quickly asked, ¡°Miss, are you sure about this? The price for a night in our presidential suite is¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t care about the price. It wasn¡¯t her money she was spending anyway, and she purposely picked out the most expensive room to stay in.

She whipped out the supplementary ck card from her bag and ced it onto the marble counter. Smiling broadly, she said to her, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m sure. I want the presidential suite ¡ª the best, most expensive one!¡±
The receptionist had thought that she was only a student, making her innocent and naive. However, once she saw the ck card, her professional smile returned quickly. Receiving the card deferentially, she bowed politely and said, ¡°Please hold on. I¡¯ll take care of matters right now.¡±
Not a minute had passed before Mu Xiaoxiao got her room card and stepped into the hotel lift.
The lift arrived at the top floor. Here, there were only three presidential suites. Hers was the middle one, and it was also the one with the best view.
There were even people who apanied her up to unlock the doors for her and wait on her orders.
Mu Xiaoxiao gave them a tip before sending them away.
The presidential suite was extremely luxurious. The living room was humongous beyond words. Mu Xiaoxiao whooped in delight and threw herself onto the sofa.
¡°It¡¯s sofortable¡¡±
Even the sofa was reallyfortable, andying on it, her drowsiness gradually increased.
Too many incidents had happened today.
First, she was misunderstood. She then got into an argument, then yed truant, then rode on a public bus for over an hour, then bowled for two hours, and then,st but not least, worked to pay off the bowling bill. She felt that it had been a really hectic day. She had long been exhausted.
Now that she was rxed, she felt as if her bones were going to fall apart.
She would take a rest first and think about anything elseter.
¡ª¡ª
The sky got darker as night descended.
When Yin Shaojie returned to the condominium, it was already 11 o¡¯clock.
Initially, he hadn¡¯t wanted toe back.
His mood was wretched. Earlier, he had gone to Mt. Akima on a joyride with some people. Usually, he would do so tillte and reach home by 12 o¡¯clock at the earliest. However, it felt as though his heart had been stifled by something today. In the end, he gave up ying in frustration and came straight home.
Even though he didn¡¯t want to admit it, Mu Xiaoxiao was on his mind. He had been worrying about where she had gone with Lu Yichen and whether she had already been bewitched by him.
Entering the house, Yin Shaojie found it in a state of darkness. He frowned, feeling a sense of foreboding.
It couldn¡¯t be that the wretch wasn¡¯t back yet?
That thought had suddenly surfaced in his head. He turned on the light hastily and shouted to the air, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao!
No one answered. Yin Shaojie¡¯s face darkened, and he searched all the rooms.
She was indeed not back yet!
It was 11 o¡¯clock and she was still not back!
Would this wretch be satisfied only when he was angered to death?
If she was still not back yet at this time, was she spending the night with Lu Yichen outside?
Yin Shaojie punched the wall fiercely and cursed, ¡°Bloody h*ll! Mu Xiaoxiao, you idiot! You haven¡¯t known him for long, and you¡¯re already being led around by him. You¡¯re also not evening home!¡±
He was MAD. If Mu Xiaoxiao had appeared before him at this moment, he would have given her a lesson and smacked her butt there and then.
Right now, however, finding her was the top priority.
Seeing howte it was, he was afraid that she had already been taken advantage of¡
Yin Shaojie¡¯s face turned ashen when he thought about this. He was full of regret ¡ª he should havee home earlier! Now that it was 11 o¡¯clock, someone might have already taken advantage of that wretch.
This was not the time to be peeved. He quickly dialed her number.
When he tried to reach her in the morning, it had been shut off. There was a busy signal, which meant that her phone was now switched on.

His eyes narrowed as he thought of one possibility. Could that wretch have cklisted his number?
Thus, he used thendline and tried to dial her number.
This time, there was no busy signal.
She had indeed cklisted him!
Yin Shaojie was so furious that his chest heaved. He swore that once he found her, he would definitely smack her butt ruthlessly.
¡°Hello.¡± The call connected, and Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s voice was heard. It sounded muffled as though her mouth was stuffed.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s brows furrowed. Was she eating something?
¡°Where are you?¡± he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She recognized his voice and froze for a moment before harrumphing. ¡°I¡¯m not telling you. Find me if you can! You went overboard today ¡ª I¡¯m not talking to you before you apologize. Bye bye!¡±
With that, she hung up on him with a bang.
Yin Shaojie stared at the receiver for a while, his lips twisting into a sinister smile. ¡°Think I can¡¯t find you? You¡¯ll see!¡± he muttered.
However, hearing her tone, things didn¡¯t seem like he had imagined. So she wasn¡¯t with Lu Yichen right now?
This mystery would be solved once he found her.
Yin Shaojie entered his study and turned on hisptop. Digging up another phone, he dialed Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s number again.
¡°Hello!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao picked up the call.
Yin Shaojie waited for a while on purpose, and in that space, his long, elegant fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed.
He then said, ¡°If you don¡¯t give me a hint, how am I going to know where you are?¡±
Upon hearing that it was him, Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled and said, ¡°A hint; lemme think¡ I¡¯m at a very luxurious ce. It¡¯s veryfortable here, and I¡¯m enjoying myself very much. Can you guess where?¡±
¡°It¡¯s done,¡± Yin Shaojie said suddenly.
¡°Ah?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯tprehend what he had said.
¡°I¡¯ll find you ¡ª wait for me!¡± Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes at the result on the screen dangerously. He had found where she was.
He hung up before Mu Xiaoxiao could reply.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face froze as she stared at her phone for a while. Did she mishear something, or had she identally revealed her location?
Thinking back to their conversation, she hadn¡¯t!
She harrumphed internally and threw her phone to the side before continuing to munch on fruits.
She didn¡¯t believe that he could really find her!
¡
Twenty minutester.
Laying on the sofa, Mu Xiaoxiao gave a little yawn and stretched. She walked over to the French window to admire the beautiful night scenery.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. Didn¡¯t they already send up the thing she wanted? Was there something they had missed out?
She opened the door without thinking.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao!¡± A tall, handsome figure rushed in before she could react and hugged her.
Realizing who it was, Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. ¡°Yin Shaojie?! How did you¡ How did you know where I was?¡±
She couldn¡¯t believe that he had really found her!
Yin Shaojie inspected the entire suite and confirmed that there was no sign of Lu Yichen. He finally rxed.
When he found that she was in a hotel, he was so worried that she was with Lu Yichen that he drove over at top speed. Originally, it would have taken him 30 minutes, but he had arrived in just 20.
¡°Come home with me right now!¡± Grabbing onto her wrist, he tried to pull her away.

Mu Xiaoxiao scrunched up her face. Using all her strength, she twisted away from his grasp. ¡°I don¡¯t want to go back!¡±
There was a huge disparity between the strength of a male and a female, and she couldn¡¯t tear herself free. Thinking on her feet, she stamped on his foot, hard, and pushed him out while he was writhing in pain.
¡°Bang!¡± The door mmed shut right in front of Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie went over and pounded on the door. ¡°Xiaoxiao, open the door! It¡¯s sote already. Come home with me!¡± he hollered.
With her back to the door, Mu Xiaoxiao huffed, ¡°I don¡¯t want to!¡±
She had already told him that she wouldn¡¯t speak to him before he apologized to her, much less go off with him. Humph!
Outside the door.
While frowning, Yin Shaojie deliberated on how to enter the room when a formally dressed man came over and greeted him respectfully, saying, ¡°Young Master Jie, why are you here?¡±
This man was the manager of the hotel.
This hotel was actually under the Yin conglomerate, so it was no wonder that the hotel manager had hurried over once he learned of Yin Shaojie¡¯s presence.
Yin Shaojie held out this hand as he looked askance at him. ¡°Room card.¡±
The hotel manager was in a spot, for this was against regtions. He thus said, ¡°This¡ This isn¡¯t a good idea. Young Master Jie, are you rted to the guest inside?¡±
After giving it a thought, Yin Shaojie replied, ¡°You¡¯ll see that she¡¯s using my card once you check with reception. Also, I want to know if she came here alone or with someone else. Right now.¡±
¡°Yes sir, I¡¯ll get someone to check right now!¡± The hotel manager agreed quickly and dialed reception immediately.
Once he got his answer, he sent someone up with the room card.
The manager said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°Young Master Jie, the receptionist has confirmed that this youngdy came on her own.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Yin Shaojie feltpletely relieved now. It seemed that he had really misunderstood Mu Xiaoxiao. He felt at fault for the incident and his harsh words this morning, and he was already beginning to think of how to cajole her.
It was only a short wait before someone came up with the room card.
Yin Shaojie waved his hand dismissively. ¡°Everything¡¯s fine now. You may go.¡±
¡°Yes, Young Master Jie. If there is anything, please do not hesitate to ask.¡± The manager then led the attendant away.
Inside the room, Mu Xiaoxiao picked up on the silence outside.
The soundproofing here was excellent, so she wasn¡¯t able to hear what was going on outside unless someone deliberately hollered.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought, Did Yin Shaojie leave already?
Just as she was feeling depressed, she heard the ¡®beep¡¯ of the room card sensor.
Then, the door flew open!
Mu Xiaoxiao, who was propped up against the door, was pushed onto the carpet.
Seeing her state as he walked in, Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help butugh at her and say, ¡°What are you doing on the carpet?¡±
Even though his tone was full of mockery, he still extended a hand to help her up.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and shot a re at him. ¡°How did you get the room card?¡± she asked.
How unreasonable could this hotel be, giving someone else her room card!
Yin Shaojie smiled sinisterly. Purposely, he said, ¡°I told the manager that you are my wife!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed. Shaking his hand off, she went over to the sofa and hugged a cushion. ¡°Who¡¯s your wife? Let me tell you that I¡¯m very angry this time. If you don¡¯t apologize, I will never forgive you!¡± she huffed.

This time, he has gone too far!
Not only did he misunderstood her, but he also spoke to her harshly and left on his own without sending her home. It seemed that he felt no remorse at all.
Yin Shaojie closed the door, walked over to her side, and stretched out his long arms to pull her into his embrace.
¡°Oi, what are you trying to do?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face blushed, and her hands braced against his chest, putting each other at a distance.
He suddenly smiled, and without warning, he pinned her onto the sofa. His elegant face was lowered, bringing their faces only a few centimeters apart, and their lips were almost touching.
Mu Xiaoxiao unexpectedly felt her heart racing, and the air she breathed was filled with the scent of the man. It was as if the scent had surrounded herpletely with nowhere to escape.
¡°Uh-huh, haven¡¯t you heard? Lovers¡¯ quarrels are soon mended. You want my apology, don¡¯t you? Shouldn¡¯t I present my sincerity?¡±
As he spoke, that devilishly handsome face lowered even closer. This time, they were so close that with just a tip of his body, he could kiss her.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s entire body stiffened. She didn¡¯t dare to move, afraid that any sudden movement would cause her to kiss him instead.
She blushed embarrassedly while looking at him. Her hands braced against his chest, lest he get any closer, and she said loudly, ¡°If you want to apologize, just say it. Whye so close? Step aside and let me up!¡±
Even though they were used to yfully hug each other when they were young, now that they were older, the feeling was no longer the same.
Engulfed in his domineering presence, that scent of a man had forced her to realize one thing¡ªhe was now a grown man, no longer the boy of the past.
¡°Not getting up.¡± Yin Shaojie naughtilyughed and purposely tightened his embrace while saying, ¡°I feel reallyfortable like this.¡±
Her body had the delicate fragrance of a young woman, and it felt so soft to the touch. It was trulyfortable, and he could not bear to let go.
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him while blushing. ¡°You¡¯refortable, but I¡¯m not! How is this sincere? Get up quickly! Can¡¯t you just talk normally?¡±
¡°Talking normally is what you want, right?¡± Yin Shaojie had achieved his goal and only then let her go.
He was just acting like a rascal, and suddenly, he was being agreeable. Mu Xiaoxiao then had the feeling that she had been fooled.
She leaned onto the edge of the sofa, hugging a pillow for defense.
Yin Shaojie was in a cross-legged position like her, and they sat face-to-face. He shifted closer and said, ¡°So tell me, how should I apologize so that you will forgive me?¡±
Just like how he had coaxed her when they were young, they were sitting and discussing terms in the same manner. As long as he fulfilled her desires, that would have made the reconciliation.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought about the grievance she felt today. Her lips pouting, she angrily stared at him and said, ¡°Do you know how inappropriate you acted today? How could you say that to me? Could it be that in your heart, I have be one of those girls?¡±
Yin Shaojie thought about the events that had happened in the day, and he didn¡¯t feel happy about it. After all, it was the first time he had seen her heartbroken and in tears, and he was the one who had caused it.
Frustrated, he scratched his head and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I don¡¯t know what got over me today¡¡±
When Mu Xiaoxiao heard him, she felt a lot better. Her anger subsided, and her expression loosened.

But she still had to exin herself, ¡°I¡¯ve only treated Lu Yichen as a friend, and I know that he has a girlfriend. Even if I really admired him, I would never ruin their rtionship.¡±
Yin Shaojie observed her expression, and knew she was not lying. It was clear when she mentioned Lu Yichen. She didn¡¯t seem to be carrying romantic feelings, but she just was acting normally, as if she was mentioning a tonic friend.
The burden that he carried in his heart had disappeared, and he felt a deep relief. However, he still cared enough to ask, ¡°So what happened to you today? You skipped sses with him, didn¡¯t you? You spent the whole afternoon with him, right? Where did you go, and what did you do?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, she asked in astonishment, ¡°How did you know I skipped ss with him?¡±
Yin Shaojie chuckled. He stretched his hand out to scratch her nose and said delightedly, ¡°If you don¡¯t want people to know, don¡¯t do it! Shangde is my turf. Nothing on my turf can elude me.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him in disbelief, her mouth opened wide. She evidently had epted it as the truth.
¡°The fly is going in,¡± Yin Shaojie suddenly said.
Mu Xiaoxiao flinched in surprise and immediately closed her mouth. Her eyes showed fear, but she quickly realized that she had been duped.
In a spurt of anger, she grasped the pillow and pounded him once with it. ¡°You cheated me! Bastard!¡±
Yin Shaojie caught the pillow and snatched it. With feigned seriousness, he questioned intensely, ¡°Okay, don¡¯t change the subject! Tell me now, where did you go, and what did you do when you were with him? Have you done anything that wronged me?¡±
¡°Anything that wronged you?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes and quickly understood what he meant. She was angry and wanted to hit him with a pillow again, but with no pillows, she couldn¡¯t use the ashtray instead, could she?
¡°I was just unhappy, so he apanied me to take a break from my worries. Why are you imagining things! What wrongful deeds? Even if there¡¯s anything to happen between the both of us, it¡¯s none of your business! Hmph!¡±
Right after she spoke, she reached out her hand to snatch the pillow back.
Yin Shaojie folded his arms, and with a look of disapproval, he said to her, ¡°Have you forgotten? We are engaged, so you are my fianc¨¦e. If anything were to happen between the two of you, isn¡¯t that wrongful to me? What should you call it then? Stupid!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t call me stupid!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her hands along the pillow and smashed him with it again.
Yin Shaojie dodged backward. She missed. He snatched the pillow again and threw it behind him so that she could not have it again.
Mu Xiaoxiao did not have anything to attack him with. She panted with rage and said, ¡°You have the cheek to speak about me! What about you? Didn¡¯t you have a bunch of girlfriends too? Was that not wrongful to me then?¡±
He frowned and said, ¡°What bunch of girlfriends? I don¡¯t have a bunch of girlfriends.¡±
¡°You¡¯re still denying?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pointed at his nose and used him, saying, ¡°Just within Shangde, there are already a few of them, and including the school beauties from other schools, which one of them isn¡¯t your girlfriend? Let me tell you, I have an informer, so you shouldn¡¯t try to trick me!¡±
Yin Shaojieughed and said, ¡°The ones are you referring to¡ those are all in the past. You shouldn¡¯t listen to rumors from school. I¡¯m not so unfaithful. Even if I have had many girlfriends, it was never more than one at a time. It¡¯s only when one rtionship is over that I would have another girlfriend. I¡¯m very faithful, alright?¡±
You call that faithful¡± Mu Xiaoxiao scoffed at the notion.¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
However, upon hearing of his acknowledgment that he had so many girlfriends, she felt slightly disgusted.
Yin Shaojie was not sure whether to cry orugh. Perhaps it was because he also felt that he was in the wrong. She had not had a single boyfriend. On the other hand, he had had many girlfriends. In contrast, it didn¡¯t seem very fair, even if his past rtionships with these girls were very tonic and did not even involve kissing.
So he changed the subject. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. In any case, I¡¯ve broken up with my current girlfriend. I¡¯ve only got you now. Is that eptable?¡±
¡°You broke up?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised, ¡°That can¡¯t be¡ Yesterday, when I went to look for you, weren¡¯t you cuddling with your girlfriend? How is it that you¡¯ve broken up with her already?¡±
Yin Shaojieughed and looked at her in disapproval before saying deliberately, ¡°It¡¯s all because of you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly. Feeling puzzled, she asked, ¡°Me? What has it got to do with me?¡±
Yin Shaojie did not want to discuss this. As far as Bai Meijiao was concerned, he wasn¡¯t very interested in her anyway. It was only because she was the prettiest girl in the freshman batch of Year Ones that he had casually wooed her. It was also because of her smart and obedient personality that he hung out with her for a few more days.
¡°Anyways, we¡¯ve broken up.¡± Yin Shaojie suddenly noticed something. ¡°No! How did you change the subject again? Tell me quickly, and stop ying dumb. Where did you and that guy go today? And what did you do?¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t I say that just now? He was just apanying me to take a break from my worries!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him as she couldn¡¯t understand what he was so fixated on.
Yin Shaojie snorted with displeasure and said, ¡°What I want is the process, the details of the process! Tell me the specifics of where you went and what you did. Narrate it systematically and in full detail. Understood?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t stand it any longer and slouched to the side, leaning onto the sofa, dumbfounded as she groaned to the heavens, ¡°Save me! How would you have me say it? I don¡¯t know where the ce was.¡±
He squinted his eyes, staring at her, and asked, ¡°You don¡¯t know where it was at? Yet, you still went with him anyway. Weren¡¯t you afraid that he would just sell you off? Mu Xiaoxiao, are you stupid?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t say that I¡¯m stupid!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao, because she didn¡¯t have a pillow, hit him with her arm instead.
Yin Shaojieughed devilishly, and in a smooth motion, he grabbed and pulled her extended arm towards his side and trapped her in his embrace.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, little dummy! Little fool! Little idiot!¡± He deliberately chanted, and at the same time, he rubbed and tousled her hair.
¡°Bastard! You¡¯re saying it again! You¡¯re saying it again!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao howled at him. Her two slender little arms were swinging around before him, attempting to hit him.
Yin Shaojie was up to mischief. He wrapped his legs around her waist and locked her lower body. Then, his huge hands grabbed both of her arms, and she couldn¡¯t even move.
¡°Hey hey, you¡¯ve lost!¡± Heughed delightfully like a young boy whose mischievous n had seeded.
Mu Xiaoxiao was entangled with him for a while, and her face started flushing red. She was gasping for breath, unable to free herself from his binding.
With a dejected look on her face, she said, ¡°You bastard! Won¡¯t you take it easy on me¡¡±
When they were young, the two were evenly matched in strength. But now that he had grown up to be so tall and big and she was so petite, there was a huge difference. How could it be possible to beat him.
The space on the sofa was limited. The two yed and quarreled until they had forgotten about discretion. They did not realize that their positions had be so intimate.
She was locked into a position between his legs, and both her hands were pinned by him onto the sofa. It was an open and embarrassing posture. Their chests were almost sticking to each other.

Since the two of them were still quarreling, how could they have cared to notice anything else?
That was until Yin Shaojie had a feeling. It was something soft pressing against his chest. He instinctively lowered his head and was dumbfounded at the sight.
As Mu Xiaoxiao was quarreling with him, her cor was pulled apart. At this moment, as he stared down, he saw two lumps of snow white breasts¡ªhow mesmerizing.
He immediately felt his throat and mouth dry up and swallowed some saliva. His eyes darted away nervously, and in a rigid manner, he loosened his grip on her.
You¡ He thought to say something, but when the mesmerizing sight came into in his mind, his chest thumped with excitement.
This time, he didn¡¯t continue his interrogation on the previous question.
Instead, it was Mu Xiaoxiao who spoke. ¡°We only went to the bowling alley. The ce was quite far from the school, and we spent almost an hour just taking the public bus.
¡°Yeah.¡± Yin Shaojie just gave a perfunctory reply. Clearly, his mind was not on the topic at all.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat to one side. Her body was all sweaty from the quarrel. She couldn¡¯t help but stare at him and say, ¡°That¡¯s all your fault. What¡¯s there to fight about. Now you got me all sweaty, and I have to shower again.¡±
Yin Shaojie adjusted himself, and he then sat near her. His arm bumped hers and said, ¡°Do you still remember what was your favorite thing was when you were young?
¡°What is it?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao sat beside him, leaning on the sofa. She turned her head and nced at him.
Then, the two just looked at each other.
Yin Shaojie suddenly raised the corner of his lips and said, ¡°How can you not remember your favorite thing? I¡¯ll give you three guesses.¡±
¡°If I¡¯m right, what do I get?¡± Mu Xiaoxiaoughed craftily.
¡°Uh-huh, I¡¯ll tell you when you get it right.¡±
He deliberately left her hanging, brought out his phone, and ced it beside him without her noticing. He then typed out a short text message and sent it to someone.
¡°When I was young? How young was I?¡± she asked.
¡°It was something you liked since you were young, and you definitely like it even now.¡± he gave the hints freely.
Mu Xiaoxiao blinked her dark, grape-like eyes and guessed, ¡°Ice cream?¡±
Yin Shaojieughed. He pinched her cheek, and said, ¡°You only think of food. Aren¡¯t you afraid of getting fat?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not food.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao took the hint.
¡°Yeah, it¡¯s not food.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao tapped her fingers on her lips as if she had no clue at all. She gloomily said, ¡°There are many things that I like. How could I guess it! I¡¯m not guessing! Tell me straight, quickly!¡±
She wanted to cheat as she pulled and tugged on his shirt.
At this moment, Yin Shaojie¡¯s phone rang, and he answered it, leaning his head to the side to stop her from hearing anything.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought something was fishy, and she pounced on him, clinging onto his shoulder, moving closer to listen in.
¡°Yeah, right now. Start it.¡±
However, the call ended in just a few seconds, and she couldn¡¯t pick up on anything.
¡°What¡¯s starting?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked as she looked at him with curiosity and anticipation. It felt like he was going to surprise her with something.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s sexy slender lips turned up. Heughed charmingly and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t youin that my apology was not sincere enough? This time, I have prepared an apology gift. If you like it, then forgive me, okay?¡±
¡°Then¡ let¡¯s see what it is, then we will talk!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao feignedposure, but she was already feeling happy inside. Ever since they were young, Yin Shaojie¡¯s gifts for her had never disappointed her because he always knew what she liked.

¡°Come here.¡± He held her hand, pulled her up from the sofa, and took her to the huge french window.
Mu Xiaoxiao rested on the transparent ss and stared at the scenery outside. As they were close to the river bank, they had the best view of the river in the city. With splendid bright lights from both sides, it felt like they were overlooking the city.
¡°Look here.¡± Yin Shaojie pointed at the location below, and he leaned his side onto the ss. With a dark gaze, he watched her expression.
¡°Where?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stared in a puzzled manner at the location where he had pointed.
There was nothing there, just a piece of ss, and through the ss, there was only the nightscape¡
Before she could finish her thought, she saw a streak of silver light traveling straight into the pitch ck sky. Then in the next second, there was a thump sound. A ball of fireworks exploded, and it looked just like a ck cloth dyed with a splendid flower.
¡°Wow¡ªIt¡¯s fireworks. it¡¯s fireworks!¡± she eximed in surprise, excitedly tugging onto his sleeves.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s tall figure leaned onto the ss. He cast a nce at the fireworks, and his slender lips turned into a smile.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t care to speak with him as the fireworks flew off one after another and exploded. It was a sight that was hard to turn away from.
In a few minutes, over a hundred balls of fireworks had exploded, and gradually, the sound faded and the traces vanished.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t have enough of it. Nevertheless, she calmed down. Then, she turned to look at him and asked, ¡°Is this your gift for me?¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded his head and smiled charmingly. ¡°Yeah, do you like it?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed happily, ¡°I like it! Okay, I believe that your apology is sincere. I¡¯ll forgive you.¡±
He extended his hand and hooked onto her shoulders, taking her away from the french window.
¡°So, can youe home with me now?¡±
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao slipped away from his arms and ran to the sofa to sit cross-legged. All smiles, she said to him, ¡°I¡¯m not going! I want to sleep here tonight. It¡¯s already paid for. It¡¯d be such a waste not to sleep here! What¡¯s more, there¡¯s still a sumptuous breakfast in the morning, and it¡¯s free!¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at her and said humorously, ¡°Do you know how much a night here costs? You¡¯re only interested in the breakfast?¡±
Just the cost of the presidential suite was enough to cover her breakfast for a whole year.
Mu Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue and cheekily covered her ears, and she interrupted him, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me! I don¡¯t want to know!¡±
If she knew the actual cost, she would have regretted it extremely!
Though she wasn¡¯t the one footing the bill, she didn¡¯t like to squander money.
Initially, she was only acting willful to spite him, but it had led her to pick the most expensive room without even thinking about whether it was a waste or not. She only wanted to spend his money just to relieve her anger.
Yin Shaojie looked at her in disapproval, and he finally gave up and said, ¡°Okay then, you can stay if you want. Anyway, it is the weekend tomorrow, and there¡¯s no need to wake up early. Sleep here then!¡±
As he spoke, he walked towards the bathroom, taking off his clothes on the way.
Mu Xiaoxiao saw him take off his t-shirt. She was stupefied as she stared at his bare back. His well-defined muscles emitted the powerful presence of a man. She subconsciously swallowed some saliva, and her face slightly flushed with redness.
¡°Hey, hey!¡± What are you doing?¡± she asked promptly.
Yin Shaojie hooked his shirt over his shoulder, turned, and nced at her with a devilish smile. He then said, ¡°To shower. I¡¯m not going back either. I¡¯ll stay here for the night.¡±

Chapter 71: I like the Way You Call Me

Mu Xiaoxiao, stunned, said, ¡°Spend the night here? Why do you have to spend the night here?¡±
But Yin Shaojie was not bothered by her, and he went into the shower.
Mu Xiaoxiao groaned andid on the sofa.
She thought of something. She suddenly turned over, sat up, ran to the bathroom door, and banged on the door to speak to him inside. ¡°Oi, you¡¯re sleeping on the sofa! Don¡¯t think about sleeping with me.¡±
It waste. While Yin Shaojie was still showering, she ran into the bathroom in the bedroom to shower. She even locked the door to the bedroom.
Now, there¡¯s no way he would be able to get in.
However, when Mu Xiaoxiao was done showering and came out of the bathroom, she saw Yin Shaojie wearing a bathrobe, casually sitting on the bed by the bedhead, and ying on his phone.
She asked in astonishment, ¡°How did you get in here?¡±
She had definitely locked the door!
Yin Shaojie did not exin but patted the seat beside him. ¡°Come quick. It¡¯ste. Time to sleep.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao walked over and stood by the bed with hands on her waist. She pointed at him and said, ¡°Tell me how you got in here.¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s lips turned into a devilish smile, and he said, ¡°I have the room card. Did you forget? Also, next time, please remember to buckle the inner lock. That would have been useful. Come quick. It¡¯s not like we have never slept together before. There¡¯s nothing to be embarrassed about!¡±
¡°Who¡¯s embarrassed? Mu Xiaoxiao walked over and climbed onto the bed. She lifted the sheets and slid in,ying beside him.
After keeping his phone, Yin Shaojie switched off the lights andid down.
The room became dark.
More than ten minutes had passed, and Mu Xiaoxiao was still awake. She turned and looked towards Yin Shaojie. From the moonlight, she could see his dark silhouette. His eyes were closed, and it looked as if he was already sleeping.
She pouted her lips. How could he have fallen asleep so quickly?
She softly said, ¡°Yin Shaojie¡ Shaojie¡ Jie.¡±
Actually, she didn¡¯t call him with the intention to wake him up, but only to test if he was still awake.
As she called out thest word, Yin Shaojie suddenly opened his eyes.
Even though it was dark, Mu Xiaoxiao had the feeling that his eyes were really bright.
¡°What is it?¡± he asked in an attractive voice.
¡°Were you sleeping? I can¡¯t sleep¡¡± She lowered her voice as she spoke to him, her butt shifting towards him, afraid that he couldn¡¯t hear.
Yin Shaojie said jokingly, ¡°If I¡¯m sleeping, how can I be speaking to you right now?¡±
How silly.
He too turned towards her. The twoid on their sides, face-to-face, a head¡¯s distance apart.
¡°Xiao Xiao, it seems like a very long time since you have called me this way.¡± His was was deep, and his eyes stared faintly at her. As she was facing the window, he could see her face clearer with the aid of the moonlight.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s long and curled up eyshes batted. Puzzled, she asked, ¡°How did I call you? Jie?¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded slightly and said, ¡°Yeah, didn¡¯t you always call me that back when you were young?¡±
Instead, now that they were older, she no longer called him such an intimate name. She would more often call him by his full name, and it was usually from annoyance.
Frankly, he would prefer it if she would call him as she had in the past. It was more intimate.
¡°I almost forgot¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao mumbled. She remembered that she really did call him Jie in the past. There were times when she would act coquettishly as she swung his hands and called him Brother Jie.

Thereafter, she graduated from elementary school, she went to America to study. Only in the winter holidays did she return home for a short period. The two then hardly met up, and they gradually grew apart.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°Okay then, I¡¯ll call you that from now on. However, the condition is that you have to count sheep for me.¡±
¡°Count sheep?¡± Yin Shaojie looked at her.
Sheughed and said, ¡°That¡¯s right. I can¡¯t sleep, and it¡¯ste. If I¡¯m not going to sleep soon, it would not be healthy for my female skin. Therefore, I want to sleep soon, and you can just help me by counting sheep because I¡¯m toozy to do that.¡±
Yin Shaojie was unsure tough or cry. She was toozy to count, so she wanted him to count instead? She was a smart one.
¡°Alright then, I¡¯ll do the counting. But, it¡¯s no longer trendy to count sheep.¡±
¡°What¡¯s trendy then?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao curiously asked as she had been from the country in recent years. Because of this, she had not updated on thetest trends in the country.
Yin Shaojieughed and said, ¡°It¡¯s trendy to count dumplings because ¡®dumplings¡¯ sound like ¡®sleep¡¯ in Mandarin.¡±
¡°Haha, dumplings! That¡¯s too amusing! Okay okay, start counting,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said as she shifted herself into afortable posture, preparing for his ¡®dumplings¡¯ to put her to sleep.
Yin Shaojie began counting. ¡°One dumpling, two dumplings, three dumplings¡¡±
¡°Wait!¡± with only a few counts, she interrupted him.
¡°No, you can¡¯t count like this! It¡¯s making me think of dumplings, so I¡¯m hungry now. It¡¯d be better if you counted something else instead,¡± she said dejectedly, quickly forgetting the dumplings in her head lest she really got hungry.
Yin Shaojie thought about it, and he suddenly smiled and said, ¡°One Xiaoxiao, two Xiaoxiaos, three Xiaoxiaos¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed unexpectedly and nodded her head, looking satisfied. ¡°Count this way then.¡±
Then, in the darkness, his deep, attractive voice echoed in the room.
¡°Four Xiaoxiaos, five Xiaoxiaos, six Xiaoxiaos, seven¡¡±
¡ª¨C
The next day.
Mu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face was close up again. She lowered her head and realized that they were in that hugging posture, just like before.
She was puzzled. Frowning, she muttered, ¡°How did it end up like this¡¡±
Although she had the habit of hugging onto objects when sleeping, whenever she was sleeping with others, that wouldn¡¯t happen.
Why was it that every time she slept with Yin Shaojie, it would end up like this?
Even stranger was that even if she had the habit of hugging onto things, she should be hugging him. Why was it the other way round? Why was he the one hugging and her?
Mu Xiaoxiao escaped from his embrace, opened her sleepy eyes, and sat up.
¡°Oi, wake up.¡± She patted his shoulders.
Yin Shaojie was woken by her. He opened his eyes and appeared a little groggy and pale. He nced at her.
¡°I¡¯m a real masochist¡¡± he muttered.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t hear clearly what he had said and probed, ¡°What did you say?¡±
¡°Nothing.¡±
Yin Shaojie sat up. He ced his pillow behind his back andnguidly stretched his back. His hair was messy, yet it appeared that he could still preserve that air of charm.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt curious and got up close, realizing something. ¡°Didn¡¯t you sleep well? Your eyes are bloodshot.¡±
Yin Shaojie groaned and shot a nce at her. ¡°I had to count sheep and could only sleep after you fell asleep. You then woke me up while I was sleeping¡ how could I have slept well!¡±
Thus, he had called himself a masochist. Why did he have to stay the night!
Chapter 73 - What Did She Do to Him
Chapter 73: What Did She Do to Him
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°What did I cause? What did I do?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked him, notprehending what he had said.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression was quite unnatural, and it was as if he was having trouble speaking. No matter how she probed, he wouldn¡¯t say anything. He dug his head under the nkets, hoping to resume his sleep.
¡°Yin Shaojie! You¡¯re too annoying, speaking in riddles. What did I do to you yesterday? Tell me. I¡¯m curious!¡± They said curiosity killed the cat. Mu Xiaoxiao was hooked on curiosity. If he wouldn¡¯t answer her, she wouldn¡¯t let him go so easily.
Yin Shaojie poked out his finger from beneath the nkets and said, ¡°What did you promise me yesterday?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly recalled what she had said and eximed, ¡°Oh¡ I know! Jie, tell me. Tell me quickly!¡±
She slept wellst night. She had only recalled shutting her eyes and waking up to daylight, and she had absolutely no memory of what she had done.
Yin Shaojie was annoyed by her noise, and he poked his head out of the nkets. Drowsy-eyed, he stared at her and said, ¡°Anyway, I was tortured all night by you and couldn¡¯t sleep well. In order topensate me, you should go make breakfast. Stop bothering me and let me sleep for a bit.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao saw that he was really tired, and it did not seem to be fake. His eyelids were almost glued shut.
Her heart grew soft. She let go of the nket and said softly, ¡°Alright then. I¡¯ll get up and let you sleep for a bit.¡±
¡°Yeah,¡± Yin Shaojie responded before shutting his eyes to resume sleeping.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to disturb him. She carefully got up of bed, left the bedroom, and went into the bathroom outside.
Once she was done refreshing herself and changed clothes, she sat cross-legged on the sofa and called for room service to deliver breakfast.
Actually, Yin Shaojie did not sleep for much longer, only for a little more than ten minutes.
He woke up and opened his eyes, only to recall what Mu Xiaoxiao had done to himst night.
Why was it so difficult to speak of it?
Heughed bitterly.
What actually happened was that Mu Xiaoxiao, that little imp, had a poor sleeping habit of kicking randomly while sleeping!
From the first day that he had slept together with her, she had already kicked him. Just when he had finally fallen asleep, he was nearly sent off the bed from her kick. With no other alternative, he decided to hug her so that he could sleep in peace.
That was why every time they woke up, the two would be in an embracing posture.
Something so embarrassing as being nearly kicked off of the bed is definitely hard to talk about.
Initially, he had thought that she had done that on purpose. However, when she kicked him against night, he knew that she had a real condition.
Yin Shaojie got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
His nightgown was worn loosely, and without adjusting it, he walked out.
Mu Xiaoxiao saw him and said, ¡°You¡¯re up so quickly? Why don¡¯t you sleep a little more?¡±
Coincidentally, someone from the hotel came to deliver breakfast.
Yin Shaojiezily walked over to her side, sat down, and said, ¡°I¡¯m hungry.¡±
¡°I ordered your favorite. Hurry up and eat,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
Yin Shaojie squinted his eyes and nced at her doubtfully.
One who is unountably solicitous must be hiding evil intentions!
¡°Such goodwill? Could it be a scheme?¡± He looked across the table. Indeed, there was his favorite food.
It was unexpected that she still remembered his tastes.
Mu Xiaoxiao approached his side and massaged his back so as to get on his good side. She then got straight to the point, saying, ¡°Isn¡¯t it the weekend? You must have lots of activities today, right? Take me along!¡±
¡°No, can¡¯t do that.¡± Yin Shaojie raised his eyebrows.

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Why?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao got upset, and her fist was beating harder on his back as she protested.
Yin Shaojie replied in an aloof manner, ¡°I don¡¯t want to carry around a burden. Also, you are too timid. What¡¯s the point of bringing you? You¡¯re not going. Be good and stay at home. Watch television or y on your phone.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want that!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pouted her lips. She grabbed his arm and swung it around. Acting like a spoiled child, she said, ¡°I want to go. Bring me, won¡¯t you? Won¡¯t you?¡±
Yin Shaojie nced at her, looking as if he was seriously considering it. He then said slowly, ¡°I can bring you, but¡¡±
¡°Okay then! I know, I will let you use half of the bedroom. Is that okay? Mu Xiaoxiao quickly brought up her terms.
Yin Shaojie then smiled, looking satisfied. ¡°That¡¯s much better!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao humphed at him as she knew that he would have eventually tried to take back the rights to using the bedroom.
However, she was shrewd herself. She only gave him half of the bedroom and left herself with the other half.
After having breakfast, they left the hotel.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s car was parked at the underground parking lot, so he took her down to the parking lot via the elevator.
As they were walking, Mu Xiaoxiao asked, ¡°Where did you go yesterday? After school, I went back to school, but the guard told me that you had left earlier.¡±
The two did not realize that just at the corner of the hotel, a camera was pointing at them and taking pictures.
¡ª¡ª¨C
Night fell.
Yin Shaojie switched to a new sports car, a sapphire-blue limited edition Bugatti, and took Mu Xiaoxiao to Mt Akima.
Sitting in the car, Mu Xiaoxiao asked excitedly, ¡°Why are we going up the hill?¡±
¡°You will find out in a moment,¡± Yin Shaojie said. With a quick and beautiful swerve around the bend, there were lights flickering before them. Mu Xiaoxiao was dazzled as she watched. As her eyes adjusted, she saw many cars at the side. All of them were expensive high-performance sports cars.
Yin Shaojie stopped the car and said to her, ¡°Let¡¯s get off here.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao could already guess what they were up to, and she excitedly got out of the car and ran to his side.
¡°Young Master Jie, you¡¯re here atst?¡± A man came up to wee him. His hair was styled handsomely, and his clothes were all branded. Looking like a hooligan, he made Mu Xiaoxiao feel ufortable.
Yin Shaojie pridefully nodded his head once and surveyed the crowd. ¡°There¡¯s quite a crowd today. What are we ying?
The man took a good look at Mu Xiaoxiao. With a teasing expression, he said, ¡°If it isn¡¯t the great Young Master Jie. He alwayses with a newdy each time.¡±
As he was speaking, his hooligan-like eyes were still fixated upon Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s bosom.
Mu Xiaoxiao was wearing a simple t-shirt and jeans, pretty conservative clothing. Still, her delicate, pretty face with her youthful elegance was attracting the looks of many men.
Yin Shaojie was not too happy with his gaze, so he gave him a chilly stare. The man quickly realized that and immediately stopped staring as he awkwardly rubbed his nose.
¡°I¡¯ll go speak with them then, Young Master Jie. Please wait a moment.¡±
When the man left, Mu Xiaoxiao muttered with great grievance, ¡°I don¡¯t like this person. He¡¯s really irritating.¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s chilly gaze turned towards her, taking her to the side. ¡°I brought you out to y, not to pick men. Don¡¯t worry. You¡¯re mine. No one dares to touch you.¡±
Chapter 75 - Provoked
Chapter 75: Provoked
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao looked around at the crowd, and there were 20 to 30 people.
She identally exchanged nces with a girl and subconsciously stopped for a moment. The girl appeared sexy in her dress, deliberately revealing her outrageous figure. However, the gaze that met hers was unfriendly.
She suddenly felt that the girl looked very familiar, and it was as if she had met her somewhere before.
¡°You look dazed. What¡¯s the matter with you?¡± Yin Shaojie noticed that she appeared odd and waved his hands before her.
As she retracted her gaze, Mu Xiaoxiao acted as if nothing had happened. Sheughed and said, ¡°Will you bepetingter? How is it yed? You said earlier that you haven¡¯t lost even once. Is that true? Are you really that good?¡±
¡°You talk too much.¡± He gave her an annoyed look but confidently smiled and said, ¡°Just watch the results, and you¡¯ll know, won¡¯t you?¡±
¡°Then I shall wait and see!¡±
She followed Yin Shaojie as he walked towards the crowd. The people whom they passed all called out to Young Master Jie as if he held a high status among them.
What was more peculiar was the girl, who was staring at Young Master Jie with an alluring gaze as if she was attempting to seduce him.
It was a pity, however, that Yin Shaojie was all too familiar with that and wouldn¡¯t even return a nce.
At this moment, Han Yun¡¯er shook her hips as she approached them. Acting as if it was a natural thing to do, she hugged Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm and said in a soft voice, ¡°Young Master Jie, I didn¡¯t expect to see you here. What a coincidence!¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned, and smoothly pulled back his arm from her.
Then, he conveniently held onto Mu Xiaoxiao and gave a disapproving look to Han Yun¡¯er. ¡°Why are you here?¡±
Though Han Yun¡¯er felt unhappy, she kept her feelings to herself. Feigning magnanimity, sheughed charmingly and said, ¡°I came to apany my friend. I heard that someone named ¡®Young Master Jie¡¯ was really good at racing and hadn¡¯t met with a single loss. I had my suspicions it might be you. It turns out I was right.¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Yin Shaojie did not show much interest and looked toward some other direction.
Ignored, Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s expression became slightly stiff, but she still dared not to express her dissatisfaction. Even if she were dissatisfied, it wouldn¡¯t mean anything to him.
Mu Xiaoxiao remembered her and pointed at her in astonishment. ¡°It¡¯s you!¡±
It was the night when she had returned to the country and was searching for Yin Shaojie at the bar that she had shed with the girl.
Han Yun¡¯er was scornful, but she still smiled pleasantly as if she had only just noticed Mu Xiaoxiao. Sheughed and said, ¡°So it is you. I¡¯m sorry for what happenedst time. This is what they meant by ¡®an exchange of blows leads to friendship,¡¯ right?¡±
I¡¯m not friends with you! Mu Xiaoxiao scorned the notion.
The girl seemed to be a hypocrite and extremely pretentious. Mu Xiaoxiao had already disliked her since her first impression.
At this moment, the man from just a while ago returned and told Yin Shaojie the rules to thepetition.
Since Yin Shaojie had brought along a girl, they had decided to make the game more exciting by bringing people along for thepetition.
Yin Shaojie frowned. He looked towards Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, ¡°Are you okay with that?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had no idea what they were talking about. Looking confused, she asked, ¡°Ah, what?¡±
Han Yun¡¯erughed and said, ¡°Young Master Jie, why don¡¯t you bring me instead? I¡¯m not afraid.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was displeased upon hearing that because it was as if she was being mocked for being afraid. She was aware of the girl¡¯s provocation, and without a second thought, she told Yin Shaojie, ¡°I¡¯m okay with that!¡±
¡°Are you really okay with that?¡± Yin Shaojie looked at her doubtfully.

This time, Mu Xiaoxiao gave a confident pose and nodded her head vigorously as she promised him, ¡°I can do it!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s do it,¡± Yin Shaojie said to the man.
Han Yun¡¯er was smiling strangely at the side.
With just a nce at Mu Xiaoxiao, Han Yun¡¯er could tell that she had not been in a race before. Moreover, how would such a tender and frail body be able to bear the physical intensity of racing? It wasn¡¯t something that most people could tolerate.
Han Yun¡¯er smiled with contempt. Just you wait. Wait till you cause Young Master Jie his first loss, and he will definitely break up with you in anger!
Then, you will be just like me, another girl cast aside by him. We¡¯ll see if you can still be so arrogant then.
Mu Xiaoxiao was still in a daze as Yin Shaojie took her to the car. Finally, she couldn¡¯t bear any longer and asked, ¡°What is it that we are ying? Do I have to join too?¡±
With one hand on the steering wheel, Yin Shaojie turned to his side, and he looked doubtfully at her and said with unease, ¡°Xiaoxiao, are you really up to it? Don¡¯t cause me to lose.¡±
He didn¡¯t want to break his long winning streak because of her.
¡°Ah? That¡ I¡ Tell me now! How are we ying this? Do I have to drive too? But, I don¡¯t know how to drive!¡±
Yin Shaojie held his forehead as if he had a migraine. Dumbfounded, he said to her, ¡°You didn¡¯t even get the rules right, yet you told me that you were up to it? Mu Xiaoxiao! Are you here to mess things up?¡±
¡°No, I¡¯m not¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao innocently kept her mouth shut and batted her eyes at him.
S-she was just provoked by Han Yun¡¯er, so she couldn¡¯t care less and said that she was alright with the rules.
With a displeased look, she stared at him and said, ¡°So would you rather have that woman here instead to apany you?¡±
¡°SHIT!¡± Yin Shaojie suddenly hammered the steering wheel and cursed with an awful expression.
Seeing his dejected look, Mu Xiaoxiao reached out her hand to open the door. ¡°I¡¯ll get off then, and you can let the woman get in¡¡±
¡°Sit down!¡± Yin Shaojie suddenly turned and shouted at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao puffed her cheeks in dissatisfaction. ¡°Why are you treating me so fiercely! It¡¯s not like you will definitely lose¡¡±
Also, it¡¯s just a loss. Why obsess over it?
But on a second thought, Yin Shaojie had apetitive personality. When he was young, he did not hold back even when fighting the boy who took his toy, and that boy had been about two to three years older than him. He retrieved the toy in the end, but he also suffered bruises to the face. How could he let himself break his own winning streak?
Mu Xiaoxiao felt guilty as she mulled over it.
On the other side, the other cars were ready, and the race was about to begin.
Yin Shaojie looked at her with a long face and said coldly, ¡°Fasten your seatbelt. Sit tight, and it would all be over soon.¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was still slightly dazed.
At this moment, a whistle was blown, which signaled for everyone to be ready. There were people holding walkie-talkies to confirm that the routes were clear of all vehicles.
¡°Five¡ four¡ three¡¡±
¡°Sit tight!¡± Yin Shaojie turned his head, confirming that she had her seatbelt fastened. The next second, as thest count of ¡®one¡¯ faded away, the cars shot out like arrows leaving their bowstrings.
¡°Ahhhhh¡ª¡± Thedies were heard screaming in excitement.
It was only with Mu Xiaoxiao that one could hear miserable shrieks instead. She was so frightened that she gripped tightly onto the handlebar above, and her wrist was turning pale.

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°YIN ¡ª SHAO ¡ª JIE!¡± she hollered in panic. The speed of the car was too fast, and her words were cut off by the wind.
¡°Stop shouting! Sit properly and hold on tight! It¡¯ll end soon; just bear with it!¡± Usually, Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t have a single hair out of ce when he was racing. Today was different. His brow was even damp with cold sweat as he checked on her from time to time.
Among the crowd, a pleased Han Yun¡¯er picked up on the shrieks of Mu Xiaoxiao and roared withughter.
She smirked maliciously. Let¡¯s see how you die, you slut!
¡
On the road, the sapphire-blue Bugatti drifted around a corner beautifully, remaining in the lead.
In the car, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face turned increasingly pale, her blood seeming to sink from her face all the way to her legs. She looked as if she were sick.
Yin Shaojie noticed her difort. Frowning in concern, he asked, ¡°Xiaoxiao, are you alright?¡±
Initially, she had shrieked for a while, but she was all quiet now and frozen in this posture.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t answer. She didn¡¯t even move her head.
Originally, she had wanted to close her eyes and pretend that she was only sitting on a roller-coaster, though she hated that too. In her current situation, however, it was difficult for her to exit halfway even if she wanted to. She had to endure.
However, it felt even scarier when she closed her eyes. It felt as though the entire world was spinning.
She had no choice but to open her eyes and stare straight ahead.
The scenery before her shed past her in a blurry whiz.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao!¡± Yin Shaojie shouted harshly suddenly.
Mu Xiaoxiao senses returned. She whimpered, her entire body on the verge of copsing over as though she would faint at anytime.
His face pale, Yin Shaojie gritted his teeth and cursed.
He had to slow down for her safety.
One by one, he was overtaken by the cars he had overtaken.
Someone even whooped with joy. It sounded grating.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s face looked ashen, but he still turned to Mu Xiaoxiao and asked concernedly, ¡°Are you feeling better now?¡±
Seeing that he was about to stop the car, she hastily shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t! Don¡¯t stop!¡±
She had seen them being overtaken just now and felt guilty about it. Forgetting her difort, she looked at him anxiously.
¡°Jie, hurry and catch up to them! You can do it! You¡¯re only a little behind now; hurry up and catch up to them!¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at her. Her face was not only pallid, but her forehead was also beaded with cold sweat. Her usually pink lips were pale and trembling.
¡°Never mind,¡± he sighed and said. However, his expression a little unwilling.
Yet, he would choose her safety in such a situation over anything else.
¡°No way!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said hurriedly. Perhaps it was because of her anxiety, but color returned to her face gradually.
¡°Yin Shaojie¡ didn¡¯t you brag that you were the best? You¡¯ve never lost before. If you lose, are you able to stand the others¡¯ gloating? So you can¡¯t lose! You hear me?!¡±
In her excitement, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s volume increased. She wanted to goad him into not giving up.
¡°I¡¯m fine now. I¡¯m feeling much better, so hurry up and drive!¡± Yin Shaojie, are you a fool? If you don¡¯t drive now, then we won¡¯t be able to catch up!¡±
Seeing that the cars in front were getting further and further away to the point of not being able to see their rears, Mu Xiaoxiao was almost mad with anxiety.
¡°I want you to win! I don¡¯t want you to lose!¡± As Mu Xiaoxiao said this, she got choked up and looked at him with tears forming in her eyes.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s heart stirred. His dark eyes gazed at her, visibly moved.

¡°Okay,¡± he said in a low voice while maintaining a sharp gaze on the road ahead.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled at his expression.
¡°Sit tight; I¡¯ll try to end this quick.¡± Yin Shaojie had never been so serious. He usually carried a flippant attitude when he was racing, and he only got a little more serious when there was a worthy opponent. This time, however, even the cells in his body were focused.
They had already been left far behind. It seemed nearly impossible to catch up, much less overtake them.
However, he was going to make the impossible possible.
¡°Yeah!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her head fervently and sucked in a huge breath to prepare for the ride.
Luckily, the sports car had still been moving forward all along. Yin Shaojie hadn¡¯t stopped, only decreasing the speed; if not, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to save this situation even if he was Iron Man.
Yin Shaojie nced at her before turning his head back ahead. Gradually, he increased the pressure on the elerator below his foot.
Mu Xiaoxiao was holding the handle above her with a death-like grip but still couldn¡¯t control the sway of her body.
The car picked up speed. It felt as though they were pursuing lightning.
She felt like there was something stifling her chest area, and she thought that it would not be long before she couldn¡¯t breathe. However, she still gritted her teeth and persevered, not making a sound and slowly regting her breathing.
They finally saw the tail of thest car after a few minutes.
Immediately, Mu Xiaoxiao perked up, and her furrowed brows rxed a little. Even though the difort in her body hadn¡¯t alleviated at all, she still felt that her suffering was worth it upon seeing that glimmer of hope.
Hurry! Hurry up a little more! Overtake him!
She really wanted to scream out but didn¡¯t dare to open her mouth for fear that she would vomit.
Right then, Yin Shaojie overtook the car in front as per her wishes and overtook another sessively.
Mu Xiaoxiao almost whooped with joy.
As they drifted around the corner onto a straight road, the dazzling sports car whizzed ahead as if it were a beam of light sweeping past the mountain road.
Yin Shaojie finally had some time to study her. His lovely lips curled up with confidence, and he drawled, ¡°The most exciting part has yet toe, darling! You¡¯ll be admiring your husband¡¯s prowess!¡±
Amused by his words, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s lips curled up, and she smiled a little. However, her face was still ugly, wan with pallor.
¡°Sit tight.¡±
He reminded her again and said no more before he stepped on the elerator aggressively. The sports car seemed to transform into a streak of blue lightning, whizzing along the mountain road.
The race circuit consisted of ap around the mountainside before circling back to the mountaintop.
There was only a short distance left to the finish line, and they could see the excited crowd from afar.
Mu Xiaoxiao could only feel the speed increasing. She felt extremely ufortable, and it was as though her chest was being crushed. She started clenching her jaw tightly.
At thest moment, Yin Shaojie overtook the car in front, passing the finish line in the lead. Amidst the thunderous cheers of the crowd, the sapphire blue sports car finally halted to the side.
The runner-up scion never imagined that he would lose. His face looked ugly as sh*t as he got out from the car and kicked his car in fury as he muttered curses.
The crowd took off in the direction of Yin Shaojie¡¯s sports car for a brown-nosing opportunity.
Yin Shaojie took no note of anyone. Getting out of his car, he rushed over to the other side and carried Mu Xiaoxiao out.
Pushing him away, Mu Xiaoxiao rushed over to the roadside and vomited vigorously as if she was expelling her guts.
Yin Shaojie felt sorry as he looked at her. In a voice that hardly concealed his thrill, he said, ¡°Xiaoxiao, we¡¯ve won!¡±

Han Yun¡¯er observed the pair darkly by the side. She crumpled the bag in her hand as her fury increased when she noticed Young Master Jie gently patting Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s back thoughtfully.
When she and other girls were dating Yin Shaojie, it was always the girl who waited on him. She had never seen him treat any girl with such consideration and gentleness.
What right did this woman have to be treated so specially by Yin Shaojie?
Han Yun¡¯er was almost mad with jealousy. She wished to exchange ces with Mu Xiaoxiao so that she could be treated like that by Yin Shaojie. She had desired that for a long time.
More and more people congregated around, all asking about Mu Xiaoxiao at once.
¡°Young Master Jie, is your girlfriend alright?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s brows furrowed, and he hollered, ¡°Back off! All of you, get away! What are you crowding over here for? Scram!¡±
Surrounded by therge crowd, Mu Xiaoxiao was unable to breathe in fresh air.
¡°You! Bring me a bottle of water!¡± Yin Shaojie pointed at someone and ordered.
The person swiftly brought some water over. Not daring to anger him further, the rest of the crowd backed up, watching the scene from ten steps away.
They were really astonished. Since when did Young Master Jie care so much about a woman? This was bizarre!
Mu Xiaoxiao vomited her guts out. Having nothing left to puke, she finally stopped.
¡°Xiaoxiao, water.¡± Yin Shaojie, worried about her, patted her back gently. cing the water in her hands, he made sure that she was holding it firmly before letting go.
Mu Xiaoxiao gargled and spat a few times before drinking the rest of the water. She felt much better.
As she tried to stand, her legs wobbled, and she almost fell.
Yin Shaojie noticed this in time and drew her towards himself deftly, letting her rest on his body.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt as though her entire being was drained of energy. She looked listless, and with a painful expression on her face, she groaned, ¡°So ufortable¡¡±
Yin Shaojie remembered that even as children, the only time when he had seen such an expression was when she was sick, for she was usually energetic and spirited. He felt guilty, and his heart ached for her.
If it wasn¡¯t for him, she would have never suffered like this.
Situating himself in front of her, he half-squatted with his back towards her. ¡°Come on up,¡± his maic voice said.
Seeing his broad back, Mu Xiaoxiao froze for a while before smiling. She bent over and sprawled onto his back.
She rested his head on him, feelingnguid.
Yin Shaojie asked, ¡°Do you still want water? Or something to eat?¡±
On his back, Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. In a weak voice, she said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat. I don¡¯t want anything. Carry me out of here. There are too many people around; I don¡¯t like it.¡±
The crowd¡¯s attention was fixated on them, making her feel ufortable as it was like she was a monkey in a zoo.
¡°Okay.¡± Yin Shaojie guessed what she was thinking. She needed a quiet environment to rest now.
Thus, he carried her up the mountain road.
When the crowd saw him carry her, they gasped in surprise. There was even someone who thought that he had witnessed a mistake and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Some of these people, all being sons of big shots who hung out together, had known Yin Shaojie for quite a while already but had never seen Yin Shaojie dote on a single woman so much.
Simrly, Han Yun¡¯er was extremely shocked, especially at the pampering expression that Yin Shaojie had unconsciously shown in his eyes. She was about to burst from jealousy!

The mountain was cool at night, and the air was fresh. It was reallyfortable when the night breeze brushed across their cheeks.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked drowsy as her head snuggled against Yin Shaojie¡¯s back.
After a walking for a while, Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face turned to the side, and he asked, ¡°Feeling better?¡±
Close-eyed, Mu Xiaoxiao was enjoying herself. Her lips turned back to pink, and pursing them together, she nodded against her back.
Yin Shaojie stopped at the edge of the mountain.
Realizing this, Mu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and saw bright lights resplendent in the night scenery below. There was nothing more beautiful that could be imagined.
¡°It¡¯s beautiful,¡± she mumbled softly. If she was her usual self, she would have already whooped from delight, but she was reallynguid now from difort and couldn¡¯t muster any energy to shout.
Yin Shaojie looked up. It was really dark there, and there was nowhere else to go.
¡°Should we go back? You puked everything out just now; want to eat something?¡±
Just as he finished his sentence¡
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s stomach growled awkwardly right then, against his back.
She blushed. ¡°I think I¡¯m a little hungry¡ but I don¡¯t want to leave yet.¡±
The scenery here was beautiful, and the breeze was really nice. She couldn¡¯t bear to leave.
And of course, Yin Shaojie¡¯s warm back was reallyfortable.
She wanted to stay like this a little longer.
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help butugh from listening to her words. What should he do with her childlike request?
He thought for a while before saying, ¡°How about this: I¡¯ll ask someone to do down the mountain to get some food for us to eat here. We can finish eating here before leaving.¡±
¡°Yeah, yeah!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her head hurriedly.
Yin Shaojie turned his head to nce at her. ¡°Since you¡¯re feeling better now, do you want toe down? You¡¯re heavy.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao huffed and hit his back. ¡°You¡¯re the heavy one! I¡¯m super light!¡±
Heughed mockingly and said, ¡°You call yourself light? Mu Xiaoxiao, do you know that you¡¯re about to turn into a fat little pig? Did you pig out on burgers and fries in America every day?¡±
¡°You¡¯re the fat little pig! No, wait, you¡¯re a big fat pig!¡± She thrashed around on top but refused toe down, and she even circled her arms around his neck to threaten him.
With her thrashing around and sprawling back on him again, Yin Shaojie could suddenly feel two soft things against his back.
He already knew what they were without even thinking. Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face was unnaturally red.
He gave an embarrassed cough and said, ¡°Xiaoxiao, get down if you¡¯re feeling alright now.¡±
¡°No! I don¡¯t want toe down.¡± She threw a little fit.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. ¡°How am I supposed to call someone to get food with you like this? You¡¯ll have to starve then.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted in displeasure. ¡°Am I really that heavy?¡±
She had always thought herself slender, but self-doubt began to creep in when she heard him say that.
For the sake of food, she climbed down from his back
Yin Shaojie thought of the two soft blobs, and his gaze couldn¡¯t help butnd on her chest. Once he realized that, he looked away awkwardly and pretended to admire the scenery as he dialed someone.
¡°Xiaoxiao, what do you want to eat?¡±
¡°Fried drumsticks! Barbecued wings! And ice cream!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao ordered happily.
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes at her. Knocking her little head with a curled finger, he said, ¡°You¡¯ve vomited so badly already, and you still want to eat such things? No way. I¡¯m buying porridge. What type of porridge do you want?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and said, ¡°But I wanna eat those¡¡±
Chapter 81 - Hes Gone Too Far!

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°No way, you¡¯re having porridge. Choose between porridge with century egg and lean meat or sliced fish. I¡¯m giving you five seconds. Hurry up and make your choice,¡± Yin Shaojie said assertively, not giving her a chance to throw a tantrum.
Mu Xiaoxiao said helplessly, ¡°Then I¡¯ll take the porridge with century egg and lean meat then¡ Can you add something else though? For example, a strawberry cake or something¡ Please, pretty please!¡±
Yin Shaojie swept a ce across her before turning away to dial a number.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t hear what he was saying and stood at her original spot gloomily.
¡°How long do we have to wait before the food arrives?¡± She studied the night sky. The dark sky was studded full of dazzling stars and looked very pretty. Looking at this made her mood better, but her stomach was still growling with hunger.
He replied, ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be long. Let¡¯s find somewhere to sit.¡±
Luckily, there was grass all around, so there were many ces that they could sit.
Mu Xiaoxiao scrunched up her face and said, ¡°Are there any bugs here?¡±
¡°Of course, there are many. There are even snakes. I don¡¯t think you should sit; you¡¯re better off standing up.¡± Yin Shaojie smiled sinisterly and pretended to scare her.
¡°Humph!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao red at him before sitting down beside him. ¡°I¡¯m a girl. Isn¡¯t it normal for me to be scared of bugs and stuff?¡±
However, she knew that Yin Shaojie probably didn¡¯t see her as a girl. If not, he wouldn¡¯t have ridiculed her constantly or treated her with no gentleness or thoughtfulness.
Luckily, they didn¡¯t have to wait long before someone came over with food.
As the person was about to leave after putting their food down, Yin Shaojie called to him suddenly and said, ¡°You, wait.¡±
¡°Yes, Young Master Jie?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s bottom lips curled. ¡°Take off your jacket and give it to me,¡± he ordered.
¡°Ah?¡± The person was stunned, but not daring to disobey, he took his jacket off awkwardly and handed it over.
¡°You may leave now.¡± Yin Shaojie dismissed his underling.
¡°Uh, okay¡¡± The person left.
Yin Shaojie threw the jacket in his hand over to Mu Xiaoxiao, his face showing a ¡®you¡¯re so troublesome¡¯ look. ¡°Use this as a mat to sit on,¡± he said with mock resentment.
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled. Picking up the jacket, she spread it out on the grass and sat on it.
Now, she didn¡¯t have to worry about getting bitten by bugs anymore.
Opening the stic bag, Mu Xiaoxiao could smell the fragrance of food. Her eyes lit up suddenly. ¡°It smells like fried chicken!¡±
She was extremely delighted. Rummaging through the bag, she found a paper box of fried chicken and reached out to grab it.
¡°Smack!¡± Yin Shaojie pped her hand away. Looking at her with a severe gaze, he said, ¡°Didn¡¯t I say that you¡¯re not allowed to have this? Eat your porridge!¡±
He pulled out some porridge from another bag as he said this and handed it over to her.
Holding on to the porridge, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face scrunched up, looking like a little dumpling. ¡°Boohoo¡ I want to eat fried chicken.¡±
He had gone too far!
He didn¡¯t let her eat it but had bought it for himself. Was he trying to taunt her by making her watch as he ate it?
¡°Hurry up and eat. Didn¡¯t you say you were hungry?¡± Yin Shaojie propped up a leg and rested his hand on his knee, looking devilishly handsome in the pose. He then grabbed a piece of fried chicken to eat.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. Helpless, she could only open the lid of her container and started eating her porridge.
After eating half of it, she felt a little full and put the container down. However, her eyes were glued onto the fried chicken in Yin Shaojie¡¯s hand. Her mouth flooded with so much saliva that she had so swallow it.
Amused, Yin Shaojie looked at her. His dark, obsidian eyes glimmered deviously as he dangled the fried chicken from his hand. ¡°Wanna have some?¡±

Thinking that his heart had softened, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes lit up. Nodding vigorously like a little chick pecking at grains, she said, ¡°Yes!¡±
¡°I¡¯m thirsty,¡± Yin Shaojie drawled.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly picked up a bottle of mineral water and uncapped it before offering it to him. ¡°Here¡¯s some water.¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled and shrugged. ¡°My back is aching from carrying you for such a long time earlier.¡±
Getting up hastily, Mu Xiaoxiao massaged his shoulders from behind.
¡°Is this strength okay?¡± After resting for a while, she had recovered.
Yin Shaojie slightly nodded. ¡°Borderline okay. Alright, sit back down.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao sat back down obediently. Her bright dark eyes looked at him, brimming with anticipation, her gaze focused on the fried chicken in his hand.
¡°You can have¡ one mouthful,¡± he said.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face fell instantly. Unwilling to ept this, she asked, ¡°Just a mouthful?¡±
Yin Shaojie nced at her. ¡°How much do you want to eat then? It¡¯s already good of me to let you have a mouthful; don¡¯t push it!¡±
¡°I want it I want it I want it!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said quickly, afraid that she would be denied even that one bite.
Holding on to the fried chicken, Yin Shaojie offered her the meat. As if afraid of him running off, Mu Xiaoxiao held onto his hand tightly. Opening her mouth wide, she leaned forward and took a gigantic bite out of the chicken.
He was stunned. In disbelief, he asked, ¡°How can your mouth open so wide?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was delighted. After sitting down properly, she then took the piece of chicken out from her mouth and held it in her hands to savor it.
Yin Shaojie made a disgusted face. ¡°Ew, you¡¯re so gross!¡±
¡°You¡¯re the gross one! Who told you to not let me have it?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao reached out with her greasy fingers, trying to wipe them on him.
¡°Don¡¯t touch me! It¡¯s dirty!¡± Yin Shaojie dodged hastily.
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled darkly. She moved towards him again, determined to touch him with her fingers.
¡°Oi!¡± Yin Shaojie shouted and tugged at her hand. The momentum caused him to pin her onto the ground.
With him on top of her, they looked scandalously intimate.
¡°Ah ah ah! Yin Shaojie! Let me up!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s first thought was that bugs would get onto her. She shrieked loudly, goosebumps spreading across her skin.
¡°Hehe, scared now?¡±
The pair joked around with each other. At a corner nearby, Han Yun¡¯er was secretly observing them. Her reddened eyes red at the sight as though she wanted to tear Mu Xiaoxiao into small shreds, and her lips were white from biting them.
¡
Yin Shaojie only let go of Mu Xiaoxiao when his phone started ringing.
After he finished the call, he said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°They¡¯re done ying and said that they wanted to go drink. Want toe? Or do you want me to send you home?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao raised her arms up quickly as if she was afraid that he would change his mind. ¡°I wanna go I wanna go!¡± she said hastily.
She was worried that he would cast her away and not let her enter a bar.
Yin Shaojie stood up and brushed the grass off his pants. ¡°Let¡¯s go then.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao got up as well and scooped up the jacket. Looking at the road they came from, she said gloomily, ¡°Are we walking back? It¡¯s so far.¡±
Just as she said that, Yin Shaojie¡¯s Bugatti drove over. The driver was the one who had sent food over.
Mu Xiaoxiao handed his jacket back to him. ¡°Thanks!¡± She smiled pleasantly.
The boy was a little shocked. Blushing, he said, ¡°No problem. It¡¯s my duty anyway.¡±
Yin Shaojie had already opened the door and gotten into the car. ¡°Hurry up and get in!¡± he shouted to Mu Xiaoxiao.

¡°Okay okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao opened the car door to passenger seat. It was only after she settled in and put on her seatbelt that she remembered the boy outside. ¡°What about him?¡± she asked Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie replied cooly, ¡°He¡¯s going to walk back, of course.¡±
He then turned the ignition. The awesome sound of the engine echoed around the mountain.
¡°Drive slowly¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao cautioned. She still had a lingering fear of the insane speed earlier and was a little scared.
Yin Shaojie clicked his tongue. He was used to driving fast cars and wasn¡¯t really used to driving at such a tortoise-like speed.
However, he had no choice and had to decrease the speed.
¡°Is this okay now?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°This is fine.¡±
However, the other sports cars were already long gone. Everyone else was already at the bar and had fooled around for quite a bit when they had finally arrived.
¡°Young Master Jie, why are you so slow? It¡¯s so weird. Normally you¡¯re the first one to arrive.¡±
¡°I know, right? Did you make out with your girlfriend somewhere beforeing here?¡±
At these words, the others looked suggestively at Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°What nonsense!¡± Yin Shaojie kicked at the person in front. He then led Mu Xiaoxiao to sit at the center of the long sofa, which was the best spot.
Twisting her hips, Han Yun¡¯er strolled over and gave Yin Shaojie a charming smile to entice him before turning over to Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°You¡¯re Young Master Jie¡¯s NEW girlfriend, so you should be really awesome, huh? Sing a song and show everyone your prowess.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had a bad feeling about Han Yun¡¯er, and it seemed like thetter was always scheming something against her. Her displeasure increased after she heard these words
She had even emphasized ¡°new¡± girlfriend. Wasn¡¯t she hinting that Mu Xiaoxiao would one day be his ex then?
Mu Xiaoxiao put on a poker face and elbowed Yin Shaojie.
me it on him for being so fickle all the time!
Yin Shaojie shot a re at her. Of course, he knew what Han Yun¡¯er had implied. He looked at Han Yun¡¯er with displeasure, and cocking a perfectly arched brow, he took Mu Xiaoxiao into his arms. The corner of his lip twitched seductively. ¡°She¡¯s not my girlfriend.¡±
The entire crowd was stunned, especially Han Yun¡¯er, who was astonished. So she wasn¡¯t Young Master Jie¡¯s girlfriend? Then why does he treat her so¡
Yin Shaojie smiled deviously and give Mu Xiaoxiao a kiss on the cheek on a whim. ¡°She¡¯s my wife!¡± he said with a pampering look.
These words shocked the crowd to the core.
Even though there had been numerous women by Young Master Jie¡¯s side, he had never addressed any one of them as ¡°wife.¡±
Snuggled against his embrace, Mu Xiaoxiao grinned.
She was especially gleeful when she saw Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s face turn liver-colored.
Yin Shaojie leaned towards her ear, their postures intimate. ¡°Do you want to sing a song?¡± he asked in a sexy voice.
He suddenly wanted to listen to her sing.
Shooting a re at Han Yun¡¯er, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s rose-colored lips curled into a smile. ¡°Sure. I¡¯ll sing a song for you, and in return, I want you to sing a solo piece too, dear.¡±
She even gave him a peck on the cheek afterward.
An obsequious person hurried over with a remote sensibly for her to choose her song.
To the crowd¡¯s surprise, Mu Xiaoxiao picked an English song!
¡°Ahem ahem.¡± She held the mic with an air of affectation, and acting bashful, she said, ¡°I don¡¯t usually sing, so if it doesn¡¯t sound good, please bear with me.¡±
However, the crowd¡¯s jaws dropped once the song ended.
It had been so well-sung! Her English ent sounded like the original singer¡¯s too!

In the middle of all the fun, Yin Shaojie¡¯s phone rang. He held it up to see who was calling but hung up on the person without a word.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him curiously. ¡°Who called?¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t reply. The phone started ringing again not a few secondster.
¡°I¡¯m going out to get a call,¡± he said. He released her hand, which he had been holding; stood up; and left.
The crowd took this chance to gather around Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°How did you meet Young Master Jie? Are you really his wife? How are you really rted?¡±
Seeing that she looked affable, these people peppered her with questions bluntly.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao only smiled mysteriously and replied, ¡°If you want to know, then ask him yourself!
Ask Young Master Jie? Who would dare to do that!
Just then, a few rich scions came forward, making the crowd disperse as they surrounded Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°Hey babe, want to y a game?¡± A rich young master holding Han Yun¡¯er asked.
No one knew Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s name because Yin Shaojie hadn¡¯t introduced her.
A charming Han Yun¡¯er, who was nested into that scion¡¯s chest, said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Are you afraid? Don¡¯t be scared; we¡¯re only ying a little game. It¡¯s harmless.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled. ¡°It¡¯s only a game! What¡¯s there to be afraid of? Let¡¯s y!¡±
Han Yun¡¯er emerged from that young master¡¯s arms and sat beside Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°The game is simple. We¡¯re going to y poker. Whoever gets the biggest card will be the king, and whoever gets the smallest card will be the ve. The ve has to obey the orders of the king, and whatever the king wants the ve to do, he must do it.¡±
¡°What if the ve doesn¡¯t want to?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
Just then, someone carried a whole lot of sses over. cing them in the middle of the table, he filled all the sses to the brim.
The young master beside Mu Xiaoxiao smiled deviously. ¡°If you don¡¯t obey, then you¡¯ll have to drink a ss of beer,¡± he said.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. She regretted agreeing to y this game a little.
She didn¡¯t like to drink and couldn¡¯t really hold her liquor.
Internally, Han Yun¡¯er sneered. Externally, she put on a facade of amiability as she said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The orders will be simple and won¡¯t really inconvenience you. How about ying a test round?¡±
¡°Oh yeah! A test round!¡±
The rest whooped. After taking the poker cards out and shuffling them, they spread them onto the table.
¡°Start picking your cards. Ladies first,¡± said the rich young master beside Mu Xiaoxiao to her gentlemanly.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t see a problem with this. This game was all about luck anyway, and she thought that her luck wasn¡¯t too bad.
With no notion of suspicion, she picked out a card.
Everyone else picked out a card too and revealed their hands all at once. Thergest card belonged to the young master who was holding Han Yun¡¯er, but the smallest one belonged to Han Yun¡¯er.
Han Yun¡¯er pouted and shot a coquettish re at that young master.
¡°Give the order! Give the order!¡± the surrounding crowd hollered.
Han Yun¡¯er looked like a willing loser unafraid to do anything as she cast a sidelong nce at that young master.
That young master reached out and pulled her in. Smiling suggestively, hemanded, ¡°Then¡ Give me a kiss.¡±
He made a kissy face.
Han Yun¡¯er put on an air of shyness before leaning forward and kissing him. The both of them even started to french kiss.
The crowd shrieked with titition.
Mu Xiaoxiao furrowed her brow in difort, her heart weirdly uneasy. These people were too wild, and she didn¡¯t like it.
Nervous with worry, she looked at the door using the corner of her eyes.
Who was Yin Shaojie talking to on the phone, and why wasn¡¯t he back yet?

¡°Alright, round two! Shuffle the cards!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to y any longer but had no choice but to endure it and y on. After everyone else had picked a card, she did so too under the urging of the crowd.
She took a casual look at her card and saw the three of diamonds. She froze.
¡°Alright alright,y down your cards!¡± everyone hollered.
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed and revealed her hand. Her card was undoubtedly the smallest.
However, she had never imagined that the ¡°king¡± of this round would be Han Yun¡¯er.
Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s lips curled up into a smile, and she looked at Mu Xiaoxiao with malicious intent.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was a little frozen. She felt that this woman was constantly out for her. With such a good chance now, why wasn¡¯t she quickly doing something?
Han Yun¡¯er saw the uneasiness on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face and was pleased. Let¡¯s see how I mess with you, you slut!
¡°Alright, as king, I¡¯ll order you to¡¡±
Before she could finish her sentence, Mu Xiaoxiao swooped up a ss in her hand first and downed it.
Luckily, the ss wasn¡¯t therge kind. However, the way she downed it almost made her spout it out. She had to force it in and swallow it.
¡°Alright, I drank it.¡± She turned the ss over to show them.
Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s expression was a little dark, and she red at Mu Xiaoxiao.
The crowd whooped and pped. ¡°No wonder she¡¯s Young Master Jie¡¯s woman. What an impressive attitude!¡±
¡°Then let the next round begin!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nced askance at Han Yun¡¯er. Sure enough, thetter looked furious. She gloated with glee internally. Trying to plot against me? I¡¯m not giving you a chance; I¡¯ll stifle your efforts to death!
The next round began. With her fighting spirit aroused, Mu Xiaoxiao really wanted to be king so that she could strike back at Han Yun¡¯er.
However, this game was too reliant on luck. Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t king but was lucky enough to not be the ve either. She hadn¡¯t imagined that the unlucky one would be Han Yun¡¯er again, while the position of the king went to another rich young master.
¡°Yun¡¯er, why is it you again? I¡¯ll not put you in a spot, so how about this: do a pole dance on stage; how about that?¡± the rich young master said with amusement.
Han Yun¡¯er radiated shyness but still went up onto the stage. Grabbing onto the shoulders of a boy, she did a sexy little dance.
The atmosphere in the room heated up. The boys whooped.
Han Yun¡¯er swayed her hips as she strolled back, wearing an embarrassed look on her face. She then exchanged a look with the person beside her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was the ve in the next round.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that it was weird that although there were only two girls, her and Han Yun¡¯er, in the game, they were the ones who always lost. This was too coincidental.
However, she wasn¡¯t a sore loser, but not wanting to be tricked into doing things, she had no choice but to drink.
The crowd saw her drink again and was disappointed. However, no one dared to say anything because she was Young Master Jie¡¯s woman.
In the next few games, Mu Xiaoxiao was the one who lost more.
Mu Xiaoxiao huped on her sixth drink, her senses fuzzy. She shook her hand and said, ¡°I can¡¯t take it. I can¡¯t drink anymore¡ I¡¯m going to vomit.¡±
Beside her, Han Yun¡¯er looked on with a smile on her face. She exchanged a nce with the rich young master beside her, their eyesmunicating a plot.
If Young Master Jie sees you like this, he will feel so sorry for you. But isn¡¯t it weird that he hasn¡¯te back even after such a long time? How about I take you up to the room upstairs to rest? When Young Master Jie is back, I¡¯ll tell him to go upstairs to look for you.¡±

As Han Yun¡¯er was talking, she reached her hand to hold onto Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s arm, gesturing to take her up.
¡°Who are you?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked confused at her, attempting to make out her face. Her delicate face moved closer, almost touching Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s.
Upon smelling Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s perfume, she wrinkled her nose and pushed her away in disgust. ¡°You stink! Get away from me!¡±
Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s face turned grim. This slut has the nerve to say that I stink!
She felt a great urge to p Mu Xiaoxiao in the face. But with so many onlookers, she couldn¡¯t do it. She had no choice but to maintain her forced smiles.
¡°It¡¯s me, Yun¡¯er. You¡¯re drunk. Let me take you up to rest, alright?¡±
Watching Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s tipsy red face, which entuated her allure, Han Yun¡¯er grew more resentful. She thought about taking her into the empty room, where she could use the opportunity to deal her a few ps.
She was happy just thinking about it.
Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s smile appeared very natural. She then took great effort to support Mu Xiaoxiao.
Initially, the other men had wanted to help. But seeing that Han Yun¡¯er was putting in a lot of effort and that Mu Xiaoxiao was Young Master Jie¡¯s woman, they dared not touch her, so no one came to help.
Han Yun¡¯er saw that Mu Xiaoxiao was not struggling, and she wanted to take the chance to take her up.
She had it all nned out. She would set up a man in the room. Then, she would let Young Master Jie catch the adulterous couple on the bed. Ha ha. When that happens, we¡¯ll see if Young Master Jie will still like to keep this little slut!
Upon smelling the perfume on her body, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but retch.
¡°I¡¯m going to vomit¡¡±
Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s face turned pale. ¡°You¡¯d better not vomit on me!¡±
She was so frightened that she threw Mu Xiaoxiao back onto the sofa. It was then that the door to the booth opened. Yin Shaojie pushed the door and entered only to see that sight, and he made a severe expression.
¡°Han Yun¡¯er, what do you think you¡¯re doing?¡± he asked.
Han Yun¡¯er didn¡¯t think that he would be back so soon, and she couldn¡¯t care that her n was foiled. She frantically apologized, ¡°I¡ I didn¡¯t do anything. Young Master Jie, you misunderstand. I saw that she was drunk and wanted to take her up to the room to rest and wait for you. I really didn¡¯t do anything!¡±
¡°Drunk?¡± Yin Shaojie raised his eyebrows and walked up to take a look. Mu Xiaoxiao, that little wretch, wasying on the sofa, and her face was flushed. She¡¯s really drunk.
¡°How did she get drunk?¡±
He didn¡¯t recall that the wretch liked to drink. Could it be that she picked up the habit in America?
But upon seeing the poker cards and the bottles of alcohol on the table, he understood.
He looked around at the heirs at the scene and coldly snorted.
He walked over to Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s side and pulled her up as his long arms supported her slender waist. Just as he was about to carry her, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly struggled and threw herself onto him.
Yin Shaojie only wanted to prevent her from getting hurt. Unexpectedly, the two¡¯s lips came into contact, though it was only for a second. Mu Xiaoxiao then dug her head into his shoulders as if she had found her safe harbor.
But at the same time, Yin Shaojie was stunned. The sensation from the touch seemed to linger on his slender lips. It was a touch softer than pudding, and it was apanied with the scent of a young woman.
The other men witnessed such a rare sight and just stared nkly at the two.
Yin Shaojie coughed unnaturally and carried Mu Xiaoxiao. He said to the others, ¡°You guys continue ying. I¡¯m taking off.¡±
As he said that, he carried Mu Xiaoxiao and left, leaving the crowd staring at each other, at a loss at what to do.

As the door closed, the onlookers started to gossip in soft whispers.
¡°Hey, did you see that just now? Young Master Jie seemed to have blushed. Did I see that right?¡±
¡°You must have seen wrong. How could Young Master Jie have blushed! He has lots of experience with women. How could a single touch of the lips make him blush? Is Young Master Jie such an inexperienced man? Are you silly?¡±
¡°But¡ I really did see that. Or could I really have seen wrong? No! I¡¯m right!¡±
They were talking right beside Han Yun¡¯er. Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s face was very gloomy. She stared at them and shouted, ¡°Shut up, all of you! Don¡¯t talk about it, do you hear? You saw it incorrectly. You definitely did!¡±
Seeing the look on her that seemed as if she was threatening to gouge out their eyes if they didn¡¯t go along and im that they saw nothing, the man got scared as he quickly nodded and kept quiet.
In a fit of anger, Han Yun¡¯er threw herself on the sofa and drank from a bottle of wine from the table.
The rich young master who kissed her just a while ago sat by her side. His hands wantonly felt her thigh. ¡°Baby, are you angry? Haven¡¯t we followed your n and punished her? Don¡¯t be angry.¡±
She was, after all, Yin Shaojie¡¯s woman, and they didn¡¯t dare to go overboard.
Han Yun¡¯er was extremely displeased. Her eyes gleamed with great hatred under the bright, flickering lights.
How would these people understand?
They all believe that Yin Shaojie has had many girlfriends and is definitely a seasoned man. However, only those that have dated Yin Shaojie would know that Yin Shaojie has never kissed any of them, let alone engage in any more intimate acts.
Initially, Han Yun¡¯er had thought that she was not attractive enough, and she couldn¡¯t ept it as she had always thought herself to be attractive. It was only until she surveyed his past girlfriends that she found out that he had treated all those girls in the same way, never kissing any of them!
And so, this had be her obsession. She madly desired to have Yin Shaojie¡¯s kiss as if she would be his true love when she finally obtained it.
Now, however, another woman had already touched Yin Shaojie¡¯s lips right before her eyes.
She was so madly jealous that she could kill!
Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s eyes squinted dangerously. She wouldn¡¯t just let things go like this¡
¡ª¡ª
As Yin Shaojie was driving the car home, he would asionally take a nce at Mu Xiaoxiao in the front passenger seat. He noticed that she was sleeping very soundly.
In contrast, the idental kiss had caused his heart to stir restlessly.
It was only a second¡¯s touch, so it shouldn¡¯t count as a kiss .
But he just could not control the thought of the sensation that seemed so faint yet so clear.
Suddenly, a ck car appeared in front of him, parking horizontally on the road.
Yin Shaojie frowned slightly and slowed down the car. Just as he was thinking about whether to reverse the car, a few men stepped out of the ck car with weapons in their hands and walked towards him.
¡°Get out of the car! If you don¡¯t want to die, get out now, you hear!¡± the bald-headed leader of the gang shouted as he stared ferociously at him, his hands swinging an iron club.
Yin Shaojie saw that they were gradually drawing near and was going to reverse the car to leave. But then another ck car appeared from behind and blocked their path of retreat.
His expression was imposing and grave. He undid the seatbelt and stepped outside of the car.
¡°Are there any problems?¡± His handsome face showed no signs of fear, and his voice was steady.

The bald-head spat. His face had a knife scar, and his mouth was nted to one side. He looked at Yin Shaojie¡¯s sports car, his eyes filled with greed as he said rudely, ¡°Since you¡¯re a young master from a rich family, you must be loaded, right? Splurge a little. How does 500,000 yuan sound? It should be peanuts to you, right?¡±
Yin Shaojie had one hand in his pocket. His tall and erect body stood casually and aloof. His ssiness made him lookposed.
He slowly walked towards the man and smiled, looking unfazed. ¡°500000 yuan? That¡¯s peanuts. I wouldn¡¯t pick it up if I found it.¡±
Hearing this, his eyes glimmered. ¡°So you agree then? Hurry and give us the money! I will apany you¡ªah!¡±
Before he could finish speaking, Yin Shaojie delivered a kick to his stomach, and the bald-head fell back, kneeling in pain as he covered his stomach.
Yin Shaojieughed coldly and red at him. ¡°My money will not be yours even if I threw it in the garbage bin.¡±
¡°You¡ªget him! Beat him to death!¡± the bald-head quickly shouted.
The other men raised their weapons and swarmed around.
However, these hoodlums hadn¡¯t expected Yin Shaojie to not simply be a yful hedonistic son with rich parents. His hidden skills were astonishing.
In only a few minutes, he had easily taken down these men.
Stepping on the bald guy¡¯s head with his limited edition skate shoes, Yin Shaojie smiled pompously and said, ¡°This head is not bad. It¡¯s round enough to be a ser ball.¡±
The bald-head was scared witless as he cried and begged, ¡°Young master, I was wrong! Please have mercy! It was unintentional! It really was! I was only taking orders from someone!¡±
¡°Taking orders?¡± Yin Shaojie frowned as he suddenly felt uneasy.
At this moment, a cry suddenly came from his sports car.
Not good!
Xiaoxiao is in the car!
He was startled. He knew that this was a scheme to lure him away from Mu Xiaoxiao, and he immediately rushed back.
He happened to see a ck silhouette escape from the side of the car and rushed to the car. The door to the front passenger seat was open, but Mu Xiaoxiao was nowhere to be seen!
His heart stopped for a moment.
¡°Xiaoxiao¡ª¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s was pale in the face. Feeling utmost remorse, he cursed hatefully, ¡°F*ck this!¡±
He had been too careless. How could he not have anticipated this!
As he was about to give chase, he heard someone faintly call out, ¡°Jie¡ I¡¯m here.¡±
Yin Shaojie quivered. The sound came from the back of the car. He extended his head in and saw that Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s small body was curled up at the back, and her eyes still looked drowsy, still intoxicated.
Seeing that she was safe, he felt immense relief. When he thought that she may have met with a mishap, he had been frightened to death.
¡°Xiaoxiao, are you alright? How did you get to the back?¡± He walked over to open the door to the back seat and pulled her out.
Mu Xiaoxiaoid in his embrace,zily leaning on his shoulders. In an indistinct voice, she said, ¡°I was scared¡ so I climbed to the back.¡±
It¡¯s fortunate that she had climbed back early; otherwise, if the men had used roofies on her, they would have gotten their way with her.
¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. It¡¯s okay now.¡± Yin Shaojie touched her head as heforted her with his deep voice.
¡°My head hurts¡ I¡¯m not going to drink, ever!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said as she frowned, looking gloomy.
Yin Shaojie thought about the shock previously and let out another sigh of relief. This silly wretch had really scared him to death. It had been a long time since he had felt such fear.

As he let her return to the front passenger seat, he couldn¡¯t help but pinch her cheeks and scold her, saying, ¡°We¡¯ll see if you will still dare to drink next time! You can¡¯t even hold your liquor. Why did you drink? You¡¯re such a fool!¡±
¡°Boo hoo¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao grumbled. ¡°This sucks¡¡±
Yin Shaojie stroke lightly her forehead. ¡°Okay, we¡¯re going back home immediately. I¡¯ll get you some hangover medicine. You can sleep awhile more, and it¡¯ll be fine.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was quiet. Her head leaned onto the back of the seat, still frowning and looking as if she was in pain.
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help her. He fastened her seatbelt, sat back in his seat, and drove home.
¡ª¡ª¨C
Back at home, he carried her up to the apartment.
He put her on the bed andid her down. As he was about to leave to buy some hangover medicine, she tugged at his clothes.
¡°Jie, don¡¯t leave¡¡± she said suddenly in a soft voice.
He thought that she was still asleep, but he hadn¡¯t expected her to wake up just after getting into bed.
¡°I¡¯m going to buy some hangover medicine and will be back quickly. Youy in bed and rest for a while,¡± he exined in a rxed voice, unlike his usual imposing manner.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and gripped tightly on his clothes. ¡°No¡ I don¡¯t want to be alone at home.¡±
As Yin Shaojie listened to her, his eyes were bing watery. He sighed and said, ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t go. You¡¯re such a troublesome woman!¡±
Though he expressed his annoyance, he still sat on the bedside, letting her hold onto his hand.
¡°How much did you drink exactly?¡± Yin Shaojie then realized that her face was abnormally red. It wasn¡¯t from just drinking a few sses. She seemed almost well-cooked.
Mu Xiaoxiao belched. ¡°Just¡ just a few sses¡ I was still alright when I was drinking¡ and suddenly I got really giddy¡¡±
Yin Shaojie squinted as he recalled the bottles of liquor on the table. There must have been a couple of different liquors mixed together, and the aftereffects were especially strong.
Those bastards!
He knew that those people would usually go overboard in their games, so they might have gotten herpletely drunk. He was fuming as he looked at her miserable state and considered the possibilities.
Just watch how I¡¯ll deal with them!
As Mu Xiaoxiao was talking, perhaps because of her dry mouth, she subconsciously licked her lips.
It caught his attention as his gaze became fixated on her tender lips. It looked as cute as pudding. He couldn¡¯t help but remember the moment when their lips touched. The softness of the sensation¡
His heartbeat sped up abruptly, and his gaze was unable to leave her lips.
Strangely, his body started to heat up.
He pulled on his cor as he felt the ufortable heat. He undid the buttons on his shirt with one hand, revealing his sexy corbone to ventte the area.
¡°Jie¡ I¡¯m not feeling good¡¡±
This wretch was still oblivious. Letting out delicate sounds at this moment was as good as witchcraft, causing Yin Shaojie to waver in his self-restraint.
Yin Shaojie frowned. What was wrong with him?
His deep gaze once again fell upon Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s lips. This time, he couldn¡¯t help but reach out and touch them with his hand. It was extremely soft. Her lips were as cute as a cherry. He could imagine the sweet taste of kissing them.
He thought he was bewitched. Otherwise, why would he want to kiss her?
Suddenly, he was surprised by this notion.
He actually¡ wanted to kiss Mu Xiaoxiao?

Yin Shaojie stared at her again with his deep, dark gaze. He nearly attempted to get close for a kiss but quickly restrained himself.
He must be mad!
Yin Shaojie shook his head in frustration, attempting to drive away the strange impulses in his head. But Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s asional purrs made it hard for him not to be attracted.
As he couldn¡¯t help staring at her, Yin Shaojie pouted and mumbled, ¡°Wretch, you¡¯re not doing this on purpose, are you?¡±
Seducing him on purpose?
It wasn¡¯t unusual for this wretch to act like this given her usually weird behavior. However, looking at her flushed face and her miserable state, it was unlikely that she was acting drunk.
¡°Jie, I¡¯m hot¡ It¡¯s ufortable here.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao twisted and turned to face Yin Shaojie. Her hand was pressing on her chest.
Yin Shaojie saw her eyebrows furrowed together, her face red to the neck, and her hand was scratching her chest, leaving a red scar on the fair skin at her corbone.
He couldn¡¯t bear to watch any longer. If she kept doing that, her skin would break.
¡°I told you to let me get some hangover medicine. Once you take it, you¡¯ll feel much better, but you just won¡¯t listen,¡± he reprimanded, his eyebrows raised as he looked at her face.
Mu Xiaoxiao let out some whimpering noises as if she was grieving.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s heart became soft. He had never seen her in such a sorry state.
Although he drank frequently and could hold his liquor well, when multiple liquors were mixed, especially if white wine was also added, the aftereffects would be torturous even for him.
¡°Where are you ufortable?¡± he asked in a soft voice.
Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her chest. ¡°Here¡¡±
She felt extreme difort at her chest, and it was as if it was burning.
Yin Shaojie could empathize with that feeling, and he sighed as he felt helpless. He pulled away at her hand, and ced his hand on her chest and rubbed the area. ¡°Here? Is it better now?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked slightly relieved and nodded,pletely in a daze. Her body instinctively cuddled towards him.
Initially, Yin Shaojie had only the pure intention of helping her ease her difort. But as he rubbed, because she was moving around and her t-shirt¡¯s cor was messy, his gaze would inadvertently fall onto her delicate corbone. The fair skin and the shape of the bone, tinted with pink from the effects of the alcohol, appeared particrly alluring.
Located below the corbone was naturally her bosom¡
Yin Shaojie realized that the area he was rubbing had gotten hot, and his breath was getting heavier.
Why did it feel like the room was getting hot?
Mu Xiaoxiao let out a sigh, seeming to have improved from her previous state. She closed her eyes and slowly calmed down.
As Yin Shaojie watched her peaceful little face, he grew more restless instead.
It was as if she had passed the unbearable heat to him.
¡°You¡¯re feelingfortable. Just going to sleep like that,¡± he said to her, feeling dissatisfied as he watched her.
The innocent expression on her face bothered him. It was as if she had ignited a me within him, yet she just fell asleep as if nothing had happened, leaving him alone with all kinds of strange impulses egging him on.
Yin Shaojie cast a devious smile and stood up suddenly. Bending his waist, his elegant face inched closer to her face.
She slept soundly, and her warm breathsnded on his face.
His dark eyes hid a slight shift in his desires. As he watched her pink lips passionately, he gradually leaned forward on impulse.

Since she had already fallen asleep, he might as well¡
Yin Shaojie¡¯s impulse tempted him like the cries of a demon as he eventually caved into it. He lowered his head, and he could smell the scent of a young womaning from her, a scent so pure and pleasant.
She was unlike other girls whose bodies always carried the smell of perfume or other cosmetics, which were all made from artificial fragrant essences. He had always disliked those smells.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao was different. Her body carried a natural fragrance that made one feel veryfortable.
Suddenly, he remembered that when she was young, her body always carried the smell of milk. It was especially pleasant and always tempted him to stay close to her.
At that time, the wretch used to be very clingy.
It was about the time that she just learned to walk. She would walk like a penguin, swaying side to side.
She would hold her milk bottle with one hand and tug onto his shirt with the other hand, always walking behind him.
No matter where he went, she would act like a copycat, following him.
As Yin Shaojie recalled his childhood, he couldn¡¯t help but smile. He felt intimacy in the air and grew the urge to get close to her.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoxiao appeared unimaginably lovable¡ªher delicate face looked naive and innocent, and it was as if she could just be bullied into anything.
This wretch has never looked so lovable before.
She was just like a cute little pet, extremely lovable.
This was the trigger that spurred the demon inside him.
Yin Shaojie had always been one to get whatever he desired. Hence, when the thought floated into his mind, he did not hesitate.
A strange current stirred in his heart.
What was that feeling?
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t describe it. It felt like something had shot him in the heart. He felt soft, numb, and warm.
That was a feeling he had never experienced.
His focus gradually returned to reality.
Looking up, he gazed at her, and she was oblivious to everything and still sleeping soundly.
Yin Shaojie chuckled a little, realizing that she was slightly cruel.
He was stirred up by her. His heart was rolling with unprecedented sentiments and beating so quickly that it might just explode.
But on the other hand, she was sleeping soundly, oblivious to everything. It was cruel for him to look.
He reached out to rub the tip of her nose.
Oh, no¡
It didn¡¯t seem so.
Not knowing whether it was just his delusion, but he had a vague feeling that her heartbeat was also speeding up.
Yin Shaojie was strangely pleased by the thought, and the corner of his lips curled up even more.
He lowered his head. His exceptionally handsome face drew close to her, and he could see her long, curly eyshes clearly. Their breaths encircled as if they were breathing the same air.
Even their heartbeats seemed to have fallen into synchrony.
It was an intimate, delicate feeling.
But Yin Shaojie really liked it and was incredibly fond of it.
He felt as if this was the way they should be, just like when they were young. They were inseparable. Even if they had quarreled, they would have made up quickly and gotten together again.
Though he had been used to the wretch¡¯s looks, since they were childhood friends, it was only on this day that he had found himself seriously scrutinizing her facial features.
So, this wretch actually looks really pretty. Her eyshes are long and curly, her nose is well-defined, and her face is like a peeled egg, exquisitely fair.
His gaze circled around and finallynded upon her lips.

Thinking of the sweetness he just tasted, Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t refrain from feeling restless. He couldn¡¯t help but move closer and lightly peck her lips, but it wasn¡¯t as thorough as he had done previously.
Seeing Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyshes flutter like a butterfly before it took flight, he was suddenly caught by surprise. He raised his head immediately in a stiff motion, shifted away from her to the other side of the bed, and convenientlyid there, pretending to be resting.
Unexpectedly, Mu Xiaoxiao was not sleeping¡ªher small hand grabbed onto his shirt, her head drawing closer and digging into his chest. Then, she fell asleep again.
Yin Shaojie looked down at her expression as she slept. He looked awkward and was unsure whether tough or cry.
But, it was all good as long as he was not found out.
He paused for a moment and reached out his hand to wrap around her slender waist. Slightly lowering his head and nting his tall nose on her neck, he breathed in her bodily fragrance.
Which shower gel does this wretch use. Her body smells so good.
¡
The next day.
Mu Xiaoxiao woke up to a splitting headache and rolled unbearably on the bed.
¡°My head hurts¡ this sucks!¡±
Her head felt as if it was going to explode. She could hardly endure the pain as tears squeezed from the corner of her eyes. She looked very pitiful.
As Yin Shaojie walked over to the bed with a ss in hand, he clicked his tongue and pulled her up with his long arms.
¡°Do you know what pain is now? Drink this. It¡¯ll get better.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao obediently leaned on his arm and drank it. Then, she grimaced with disgust. ¡°This drink sucks!¡±
When Yin Shaojie saw that she had finished the drink, he let go of her, leaving the ss at the bedside cab. Then, out of nowhere, he popped out a lollipop and stuffed it into her mouth.
The sweetness of the strawberry vor took over the bitterness, and Mu Xiaoxiao started to look more rxed.
¡°I¡¯m saved! I can¡¯t stand bitterness,¡± she said as sheid back onto the bed again, still sucking on the lollipop.
Yin Shaojie gave her a nce. ¡°You keep sleeping then. I¡¯ll be off.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiaoid for a while and finished the lollipop. The medicine had taken effect, and her head was no longer hurting too badly. However, her stomach then began to growl. Thus, she had no choice but to get out of bed. She then stepped out of the room while in slippers.
¡°Jie, Jie, I¡¯m hungry¡¡± she shouted like a kid as she walked into the living room.
Yin Shaojie was just sitting on the sofa with an Appleptop on his thighs. His eyes stared at the screen, his long fingers typing furiously. It was unclear what he was doing.
¡°I¡¯m hungry!¡± she repeated as she walked over to his side and sat on the sofa.
Yin Shaojie seemed to be hiding something. He closed theptop and red at her. ¡°Isn¡¯t there food on the table? Get it yourself!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted her lips. ¡°I don¡¯t want to move¡¡±
What she really meant was that she wanted him to get it for her.
Yin Shaojie pushed his finger into her chest, looking very disapproving of her as he said, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, why are you sozy? Brush your teeth and wash your face. Thene back and eat your breakfast.¡±
He had bought the breakfast for her himself. What else did she expect from him?
¡°But I¡¯m really hungry¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao cried pitifully. She acted coy as she tugged at his sleeve and ced her head on it.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face was unnaturally red. When she entered his intimate space, he could smell her scent and was reminded of his shenanigansst night.
He had a guilty conscience and pushed her away. ¡°Stop sticking onto me. You¡¯re an adult. Stop acting coy. Go brush your teeth. Do you still expect your young master to serve you? Stop dreaming and get going!¡±
Chapter 93 - Her Small Mouth Was So Sweet
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted her lips and squinted at him unhappily. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go¡¡±
She thought that Yin Shaojie was acting oddly. He still cared for her and even remembered that she hated bitter tastes just a while ago when he gave her the lollipop. She couldn¡¯t help but feel a little moved by his gesture.
Who knew that in a wink, he would already be giving her the cold shoulder.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked dejected as she left the sofa and walked to the bathroom to wash her face and rinse her mouth.
When she left the bathroom, Yin Shaojie was already sitting at the dining table as if he was waiting for her.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and walked over to sit beside him. Seeing the breakfast on the table, her eyes couldn¡¯t help but glimmer, and she joyfully said, ¡°Jie, you remembered what I liked to eat? You bought all of my favorites!¡±
¡°I bought them randomly. Who¡¯d still remember what you liked to eat?¡± Yin Shaojie said. However, he then opened the lid and ced the porridge in front of her and still remembered to warn her, ¡°The porridge is hot, so be careful.¡±
¡°First, I want to drink milk.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao reached out her arms to grab the strawberry milk and then opened it.
Yin Shaojie was amused as he watched and teased her, ¡°Xiaoxiao, how old are you? Haven¡¯t you stopped drinking milk? Isn¡¯t strawberry something only kids like to eat?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao finished and put down the empty bottle. She stared at him and said, ¡°I just love strawberries. It¡¯s none of your business.¡±
Yin Shaojie saw the milk around her mouth and couldn¡¯t help but sp his mouth as heughed. ¡°Ha ha ha¡ Look at you, Mu Xiaoxiao. Are you going to have meugh to death? Aiyo, my stomach hurts! I can¡¯t take this anymore! This is killing me!¡±
At this moment, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mouth was stained with milk. It looked reallyical. It was no wonder that Yin Shaojie wouldugh so hard.
¡°What.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao quickly wiped the stain around her mouth with the back of her hand.
¡°There¡¯s still some over there. Can¡¯t you feel it?¡±
Yin Shaojieughed enough. He reached out his hand, wanting to help her wipe it off. Upon hearing him, Mu Xiaoxiao instinctively licked around her lips, and by coincidence, the tip of her pink tongue licked his finger.
When he felt the soft, moist tongue lick his fingers, Yin Shaojie was stunned and stared at her in a daze.
He couldn¡¯t help but think back tost night. Her mouth was so sweet, and her cute tongue was so soft. It was even intertwined with his¡
¡°Jie, your face¡ It¡¯s flushing red. What¡¯s wrong?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
Yin Shaojie turned his face away unnaturally, and he withdrew his hand in a stiff motion. Coughing in an effort to distract her, he said, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Maybe the porridge is too hot. You should start eating. Didn¡¯t you say you were hungry?¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao did not notice anything amiss. Suddenly, her face got close to his. She even pouted her lips and asked, ¡°So do I still have any milk around my mouth?¡±
Her gesture caused Yin Shaojie¡¯s heart to beat in disarray. She looked as if she was serving herself up for him to kiss.
He smoothly retreated a distance and took a tissue from the side and passed it to her. Looking as if he was giving her the cold shoulder, he said, ¡°You wipe it yourself. It¡¯s your mouth. Can¡¯t you feel it? You should know if there¡¯s something on your mouth.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao licked her bottom lip again and realized something before frowning. ¡°My mouth feels a little painful. I think the skin is broken. How did this happen?¡±
She batted her eyes and thought about it, having no inkling of when she might have hurt her mouth.
¡°How would I know? You must have been careless and bit it identally,¡± Yin Shaojie said, his expression showing signs of nervousness.
Chapter 94 - Did I Provoke Him
Mu Xiaoxiao looked puzzled, but she didn¡¯t doubt what he said. She thought that she might really have bit herself identally, as she could think of no other reasons.
After she thought it through, she no longer cared because it was nothing severe.
She dried her lips with the tissue and went upstairs. In a short while, she came back down noisily in her slippers.
¡°Jie, do you have a VIP membership to any of the brand name clothing stores?¡± she asked uponing down the stairs. Then, she saw that Yin Shaojie had changed his clothes and seemed to be going out.
¡°Where are you going? Out to y?¡±
She frowned, looking conflicted as she was feeling too weak. She didn¡¯t feel like going out and only wanted to stay at home.
¡°Yeah,¡± Yin Shaojie unenthusiastically replied. Seeing as she had no intention of apanying him, he said, ¡°You just stay at home and rest. I have some things to take care of and will be back a littlete.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Seeing that he was about to leave, Mu Xiaoxiao stepped up hurriedly. ¡°Hey hey hey, you haven¡¯t told me if you have any VIP memberships.¡±
Yin Shaojie turned back and nced at her, looking slightly annoyed. ¡°What do you want with it?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao noticed that he was giving her the cold shoulder. She didn¡¯t know what she had done to provoke him.
However, she still exined, ¡°I want to buy some clothes because I only brought a few clothes back. However, I don¡¯t want to leave the house. It¡¯s tiring.¡±
Girls. They always needed more clothes. Then again, she had only brought with her a single luggage bag, and it couldn¡¯t fit too many clothes.
It was already the end of the week, and they had school the next day. There was no time for her to buy clothes.
Yin Shaojie clicked his tongue. ¡°You¡¯re such a pain. Can¡¯t you do it some other time?¡±
Even though he said that, he returned to the living room and took the iPad from the coffee table to open an app on it.
¡°Given your young master status, any brand would have to honor me like a Bodhisattva. How could I not have VIP memberships? You can do the shopping yourself! I¡¯ll be off.¡±
He tossed the iPad to her without even looking at her and left.
Mu Xiaoxiao fumbled the catch. She was lucky to be nimble enough that the iPad did not drop to the floor. When she looked back, Yin Shaojie had already left.
She pouted and grumbled, saying, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with him? He was treating me well just yesterday, but today he¡¯s acting so cold.¡±
It¡¯s true that you can¡¯t fathom a man¡¯s heart. I have no idea what Yin Shaojie is thinking about.
However, she suddenly thought of something. Last night at the bar, he went out to answer a long call. Initially, he hung up the phone, looking as if he didn¡¯t want to take the call, but in the end, he answered it out of frustration.
Who called him?
Could it be the phone call that had put him in a bad mood such that he would take his anger out on her?
Though she didn¡¯t know if it was true, Mu Xiaoxiao had at least found a reason to exin Yin Shaojie¡¯s change in attitude.
Alright then, everyone gets angry sometimes.She forgave him.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat back on the sofa and crossed her legs before putting the iPad on her thighs. She began to browse the app. It was an ordering system that was only essible to VIP members.
The truly wealthy did not have to visit the specialty stores to buy clothes. Thepanies made such an app just for them. They would put up the newest items on the app, and the VIP members only needed to select what they wanted. The stores would then send someone to deliver the items. They could purchase the items after they had tried them on and were satisfied with them.

The orders could be made to even the biggest brands from overseas. They would use private nes to send the items to these customers. These services were absolutely top-tier.
As they say, it¡¯s good to be rich!
Mu Xiaoxiao spent the entire afternoon selecting clothes. Girls enjoyed it so much, and they would never tire of it no matter how much time they spent doing it.
These past few years, she had grown up to be a youngdy. Since she left America, the clothes she was wearing were mostly young women¡¯s clothing from American brands. Fortunately, these brands were also avable in China.
She shopped with delight and would order whichever items caught her eye. After all, she didn¡¯t have to purchase it until she tried it on and found that it fit.
After submitting the orders, in half an hour¡¯s time, the store sent a bunch of clothes and also a dedicated person to help.
Unbeknown to Mu Xiaoxiao, it was already noon.
Mu Xiaoxiao had just tried a skirt that she fancied. Then, her stomach began to growl. She sped her stomach and walked out. Just as she was pondering over getting food delivered, she caught the smell of food.
The smell tempted her, and she nearly drooled.
How fragrant! What is that?
¡°Why are there so many clothes? Mu Xiaoxiao, did you buy the whole store?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s attractive voice came from the entrance.
¡°Eh? Why are you back?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao walked over, curious to be seeing him.
Yin Shaojie cast a nce at her and said, ¡°Can¡¯t I be back? This is my home!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao saw the bag he was carrying in his hand. The smell had wafted from there. She ran to him vivaciously. All smiles, she looked at him and said, ¡°You didn¡¯t buy lunch especially for me, did you? Hubby, you¡¯re the best!¡±
Then, she pouted her mouth and closed in on him to give him a kiss.
Her kiss stunned Yin Shaojie for a moment. His heart felt as if it was touched by something, his heartbeat in disarray.
Mu Xiaoxiao was unaware that she had disturbed the stillness of his heart. She snatched the bag, then headed over to sit at the dining table before beginning to open the bags.
¡°Wow! Pizza! And roasted chicken! Just what I wanted to eat!¡±
Yin Shaojie regained his usual expression and coughed unnaturally. Without joining her at the table, he walked over to the sofa and looked at all the clothes in front of him. They were all cute and girly, mostly in pink.
He knitted his eyebrows as he chanced upon a box lying on the coffee table. Then, he curiously picked up the item within the box.
Upon unfolding it, he saw that it was a pair of panties with a strawberry design printed on it!
He couldn¡¯t help but stare nkly at the item in his hands.
He was actually holding her panties¡
His handsome face flushed red uncontrobly.
Mu Xiaoxiao was eating joyfully when she subconsciously looked over and saw that sight. Suddenly, she shrieked and flew over, snatching the panties from his hands in one stroke.
¡°Oi! Why are you touching my stuff! You¡¯re a pervert!¡± Her face flushed red, and her big eyes stared at him as sheshed out.
Yin Shaojie suddenly smiled devilishly. Picking up the other little pair of panties from the box and deliberately dangling it in front of her, he drawled, ¡°Xiaoxiao, don¡¯t tell me that you wear this?¡±
¡°I told you not to touch it. You¡¯re touching it again!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao attempted to snatch it back.
Yin Shaojie yfullyughed as he flicked his long fingers, pulling it away from her.
¡°I¡¯m your hubby. Why can¡¯t I touch it? I can¡¯t believe your little panties actually has a strawberry design. Isn¡¯t that too childish? I prefer the ckced ones.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was red to her ears. ¡°Why would I care to know your preferences? Give it back quickly! You¡¯re a pervert!¡±

Chapter 96: Wanting to Kiss Her Again
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Blushing with shame, she reached out to snatch it again. After all, it was her intimate clothing. For it to be held in a guy¡¯s hand made her feel like digging a hole to hide away from the shame.
Ahhh, how did it end up like this?
It was only because he wasn¡¯t home that she dared to put it on the table like that. Who knew that he woulde back without warning.
¡°You call this perverted?¡± Yin Shaojie raised his eyebrows and made a wicked look. As she reached out her hand, he took the chance to grab her hand and pulled her onto the sofa. He then pinned her against the corner of the sofa.
¡°Yin Shaojie! Stop messing around! Hurry and give the¡ thing back to me! You¡¯re a guy, yet you¡¯re holding onto a girl¡¯s little panties. Do you know no shame?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was red from the face down to her neck.
At this moment, she was fixated upon the panties and didn¡¯t realize that they were in a suggestive position.
¡°Didn¡¯t you say that I was perverted? Then I shall have you witness the meaning of perversion.¡± Yin Shaojie seemed to have thought of a bright idea, his slender lips turning into a wicked smile.
¡°You give it back to me!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao swung her short arms, single-mindedly attempting to retrieve the panties, turning a deaf ear to what he was saying.
How could shepete with Yin Shaojie¡¯s long limbs? Her arms were too short. All he had to do was extend his arms, and she could never reach the panties. It made her even more restless.
¡°Yin Shaojie!¡± she was going mad and howled at him.
¡°Hubby¡¯s here!¡± Yin Shaojieughed and watched her anxious look, and she flushed red like a strawberry. It was incredibly amusing. She was cute in every way. He couldn¡¯t bear to not y with her.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him, flustered and exasperated. She puffed her cheeks and stared at him with a fire in her eyes. ¡°What is it that you want!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want anything.¡± Yin Shaojie acted innocent.
¡°Then give the p¡ thing back to me!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was too embarrassed to say the word.
Yin Shaojie lowered his head and saw her open hand. He pretended to be dissatisfied and snorted before saying, ¡°Is that the attitude you show when asking a favor of others? How arrogant!¡±
He¡¯s clearly the arrogant one!
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that he was simply unreasonable!
¡°Then¡ please, I¡¯m begging you, give it back to me, alright?¡± She quickly changed her tactics and acted coy. Her voice was soft, and her limpid eyes stared at him.
¡°No good. You just said that I was perverted.¡± He wanted to settle the score with her, still hoping to show her the meaning of perversion. But the wretch was not acting as expected and just ignored what he had said previously.
Initially, since he wanted to keepst night¡¯s kiss a secret, he felt the need to act cold to her in the morning.
However, since the opportune moment to make advances on her had appeared, how could be simply let it go?
At this moment when they were close to each other, he could smell the scent of her youthful womanly fragrance. He thought about the sweetness and softness of the kissst night.
I want to kiss her again.
Mu Xiaoxiao could feel him inching closer, then she realized that he had pinned her into a corner of the sofa, making it so that they were in a suggestive position. If someone were to see it, they would think¡
At this moment, Yin Shaojie suddenly raised her chin. In a sexy voice, he asked, ¡°Would you like to know the real meaning of perversion?¡±
Chapter 97 - She Must be Mad...
His warm breathnded over her face, his peppermint breath seeming to have engulfed her.
Her cheek was hot, and her heart was beating rapidly.
Mu Xiaoxiao retracted her neck and strangely avoided looking into his eyes. It felt like she was being sucked into the depths of his gaze.
¡°I¡ I don¡¯t want to know, alright?¡± she stuttered, feeling that her heart might be sick because it was as if she had justpleted a run in physical education ss. Her heart was beating rapidly, and it was as if it might pop out soon.
¡°No,¡± he denied imposingly.
Mu Xiaoxiao nced at him and felt that he was up to no good. He must be plotting something! She wouldn¡¯t be forced to go along with him!
¡°I don¡¯t want to know. You give the thing back to me quickly!¡± She ignored his intentions and had only one objective, which was to retrieve the panties from his hand.
Then, she wanted to run back to the room and lock herself in there and refuse to see anyone!
¡°Okay. I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± Yin Shaojie was suddenly agreeable as he passed it to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked doubtfully at him. ¡°Really?¡±
He wouldn¡¯t give it to her then, but he was now returning it on his own ord. It was fishy!
What exactly are his motives?
¡°Don¡¯t want it?¡± Yin Shaojie smiled as a demon seemed to have shed in his eyes.
¡°I want it!¡± She anxiously nodded her head, afraid that he would go back on his word, and frantically went for the panties.
However, Yin Shaojie yed dirty. Just at the right moment, he withdrew his hand.
¡°Yin Shaojie! Are you ying with me?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth.
¡°Of course not. If you want it back, shouldn¡¯t you be giving me something in return?¡± Yin Shaojie stared at her eyes, his smile seemingly hiding mischief.
¡°Then you want¡¡±
She was going to say his intentions, but Yin Shaojie¡¯s face moved closer. Their faces were just a few centimeters apart and still inching closer.
¡°What do you think?¡± he said in a low and fatally charming voice.
Could he want¡
As he drew closer, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face grew hotter, and she shut her eyes in panic.
Her mind was in chaos, and it was as if she thought whether he might actually want to¡
Suddenly, something covered her head, and she opened her eyes agitatedly.
¡°Ha ha ha ha¡ª¡± She heard Yin Shaojie¡¯s wantonughter. His hand was no longer holding onto the panties, so that could only mean¡
¡°Yin! Shao! Jie!¡±
There was a shriek, and the apartment seemed to quake.
Mu Xiaoxiao was infuriated. This bastard actually used the panties¡
What¡¯s worse, that bastard, Yin Shaojie, had taken a photo of her helpless look with his phone.
¡°What do you think? Is this perverted?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face flushed with redness as she frantically went to retrieve the panties, throwing herself at him.
¡°Yin Shaojie! I will kill you!¡±
She collided directly into Yin Shaojie. He stumbled and nearly fell back, but he quickly caught her waist and pulled her onto the sofa where the two fell together.
Mu Xiaoxiao beat his chest several times and wanted to snatch the phone. ¡°Delete that photo right this moment! Give me the phone!¡±
Yin Shaojie did not even show any signs of fear about her small fists and was stillughing heartily.
¡°Ha ha. Did you know how funny you looked? That¡¯s too adorable! Say, if I were to send this to my parents, do you think they would like it?¡±
¡°You dare!¡± she howled at him, feeling so stupid. She even thought that he had wanted to¡ kiss her. So he was deliberately luring her into shutting her eyes, all for his scheme.
She must have been mad to think that he would kiss her!
Chapter 98 - This Will Be My Hold on You
How could she deal with Yin Shaojie¡¯s long arms? He needed only to retract his hand towards the top of his head, and her short arms would never reach it.
Yin Shaojie retracted his hand to look at the picture on his phone. Then, he couldn¡¯t help but snicker.
¡°I couldugh at this picture for the whole year! I¡¯d better keep it safe.¡±
Hearing that he was going to keep it for a collection, Mu Xiaoxiao cried frantically, ¡°Will you delete it? There¡¯s nothing nice about that picture! You¡¯re really perverted!
Yin Shaojie shrugged his shoulders, and he was smiling with his eyes. ¡°I think it¡¯s cute. Don¡¯t you think so?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pulled a long face and stressed every word as she said, ¡°I! Don¡¯t! Think! So!¡±
She was part of that ugly picture. How could she find it interesting?
However, Yin Shaojie was admiring it. The picture of her looking stupefied with her panties on her head was just delightful however he looked at it.
How could he delete such a cute picture.
After several years, he would still preserve the picture, asionally taking it out to have a look, and he would always find it amusing and delightful.
¡°You¡¯re still looking at it! Yin Shaojie, you¡¯re really annoying! Hurry up and delete it! Delete it! Delete it!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao used both her hands and legs to grab it. Her whole body was resting on him as she expended all her efforts to reach his hand.
Yin Shaojie suddenlyughed devilishly. In a flirtatious mood, he deliberately blew a breath on her face. ¡°Xiaoxiao, your breasts are pressing against me.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao startled. She looked down. Her breasts were indeed pressing snugly against his solid chest. She hadn¡¯t even realized it.
Her face flushed red, and she immediately got up from his body. Looking gloomy yet infuriated, she extended her hand to him. ¡°Give me the phone! Stop messing around! Okay?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not messing around.¡± Yin Shaojie was using his phone, saving the picture into a secret photo album.
Mu Xiaoxiao crossed her legs and said to him anxiously, ¡°Then delete the picture! You don¡¯t really want to keep such a perverted picture, do you?¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded his head,ughing naughtily. He even waved the phone in front of her deliberately. ¡°Of course I will keep it. This will be my hold on you in the future.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao instantly gave up as he seemed like he wouldn¡¯t be giving the picture back.
¡°Then you shall not let anyone else see this picture. Do you hear? If not¡¡±
She made a fierce expression.
¡°Okay.¡± He wouldn¡¯t want to share such a cute look with anyone else anyway.
Mu Xiaoxiao had to give up for the time being, but she wouldn¡¯t just let the matter slide. She had to find another opportunity to retrieve the picture. She started scheming in her mind.
Yin Shaojie put the phone back into his pocket. He picked up the iPad from the coffee table and logged into the shopping app.
He searched for the clothes ced in front of him and said disapprovingly, ¡°All these clothes are too childish. People might think that you are still an elementary school kid. You¡¯re in high school, so you should be wearing something prettier. Stop acting cute all the time.¡±
As he was talking, he swiped and searched through the app. When he found the items satisfactory, he put them into the shopping cart.
Mu Xiaoxiao had a bad feeling about it and extended her head to take a peek. She happened to see that he had chosen a box of ckce panties and other clothing that was simrly provocative.
This style was not what she was used to wearing. Just looking at it made her blush.

She red at him and said, ¡°Why did you choose these for me! I don¡¯t like these clothes! Don¡¯t buy them!¡±
However, the bastard immediately paid for the items when she was telling him not to buy them. He didn¡¯t send for someone to send the items over to let her try them on.
Mu Xiaoxiao became so incensed that she pped him twice on the shoulders. ¡°You wastrel! These clothes are so expensive. You didn¡¯t even consult me and just purchased it. If I don¡¯t like it, wouldn¡¯t it be a waste?¡±
Did he think that he had too much money to spend?
He bought in one-shot more than ten sets of clothes, which added up to more than 100,000 yuan!
Yin Shaojie was all smiles. ¡°I¡¯m buying these for my wife. What¡¯s wrong with it?¡±
¡°Just look at the skirt you just purchased. One pair! More than 20000 yuan! Isn¡¯t that robbery? There¡¯s so little material, and it¡¯s not even gold. How could it be so expensive!¡±
¡°Brand items are expensive for a reason. Anyway, it¡¯s fine as long as it looks good.¡±
¡°It does look good. But I don¡¯t like these clothes.¡±
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes and nted his mouth as he said harshly, ¡°You dare to not try the clothes that I bought?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao fell backward onto the sofa and groaned.
She was even starting to feel like dying!
She finally understood why he wanted to keep the photo. Now that he had a hold on her, it was hard for her to defy him.
This bastard is too treacherous!
¡
Off to school on Monday.
Just when Mu Xiaoxiao stepped into the ssroom and sat down, Yu Zhe turned his head, looking worried as he said to her, ¡°Xiaoxiao, are you alright?¡±
She batted her eyes, feeling puzzled. ¡°I¡¯m alright. Is there anything wrong with me?¡±
Yu Zhe turned his body and sat facing her. He seemed to be hesitating. Then he finally said, ¡°Your confession with Lu Yichen¡ Is that true? Did he ept you? You went to look for him because you like him and were going to confess to him. Is that right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao then remembered the matter concerning the video. Not sure whether tough or cry, she said, ¡°Of course not! Have you also watched the video? I was only looking for him regarding something, not to confess. I don¡¯t know who captured the video and spread rumors without understanding the fact of the matter.¡±
Upon hearing her denial, Yu Zhe couldn¡¯t hide his delight. ¡°For real? You didn¡¯t confess to Lu Yichen, right? You don¡¯t like him?¡±
¡°I like him,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao replied.
Yu Zhe¡¯s expression stiffened. In an instant, his eyes revealed disappointment.
Mu Xiaoxiao cheerfully exined, ¡°I admire him, but I don¡¯t like him in a romantic manner!¡±
Guys like Lu Yichen, who was smart and handsome and had a steady and gentle personality that could make a girl feel safe, were every girls¡¯ dream. Most girls would feel the same way, wouldn¡¯t they?
Hearing that, Yu Zhe was relieved. ¡°Don¡¯t scare me¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s nothing to be scared about. Even if I were to have confessed to him, there¡¯s nothing wrong with that, is there?¡± She didn¡¯t understand why he felt so concerned.
Yu Zhe¡¯s face was unnaturally red. He tried to cover it up and said, ¡°I only thought¡ It was surprising to me. It¡¯s good as long as you were not confessing to him. But you had best find a way to rify the situation. Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll help you!¡±
¡°What¡¯s there to rify? It¡¯s all rumors. The students will forget after some time.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao did not seem affected since she had already exined it to Yin Shaojie. She couldn¡¯t care about what other people would think of her. They couldn¡¯t hurt her, could they?
However, Yu Zhe thought differently. His expression seemed to indicate that it was a very serious matter.

Looking worried, he said to her, ¡°Xiaoxiao, you might still not be aware. Lu Yichen has many admirers. If they think that you have sessfully confessed, they could¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao waved her hand, seemingly unconcerned. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. No one would dare do anything to me.¡±
She had the protection of Yin Shaojie, that rascal. Who would dare to touch her?
However, she had forgotten one thing. Even if she knew, no one else knew about her rtionship with Yin Shaojie!
¡°There¡¯s one more thing¡¡± Yu Zhe recalled. His expression looked grim. He scanned the people around him apprehensively and drew closer to her. He then whispered, ¡°That Friday, I heard that Young Master Jie searched the entire school to look for you. I don¡¯t know if that¡¯s true. Did anything happen between the two of you?¡±
¡°I also heard that Young Master Jie broke up with Bai Meijiao on the same day. Everyone is spreading the news that you are Young Master Jie¡¯s new target. He wants to woo you.¡±
¡°You¡¯re saying that he searched the entire school looking for me?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes glimmered upon hearing that.
She couldn¡¯t help butugh up her sleeve.
That rascal pretended to not care for her and left home by himself!
She could almost imagine it. He must have searched the entire school, and when he couldn¡¯t find her, he had called her phone to no avail. Then he found out that she had skipped ss with Lu Yichen. Perhaps that was what had made him angry?
No wonder he was so infuriated that night.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt so sweet. She looked down to send Yin Shaojie a short text. At the end, she still cheekily sent a grimacing smiley.
Yu Zhe saw that she was acting so leisurely while he was the one being so anxious for her like a back-seat driver!
He asked anxiously, ¡°Xiaoxiao, you said that you didn¡¯t like Young Master Jie. Is that true? If he were to take the initiative to woo you¡¡±
Young Master Jie was, after all, a master at picking up girls, not to mention he was also a great catch. He was unrivaled in all of Shangde High. If he were to take the initiative to woo any girl, how would any girl resist him?
However, Yu Zhe felt that Mu Xiaoxiao should be different. She was not one who would simply fall in love with a person because of his wealth and good looks.
Before Mu Xiaoxiao could reply to him, the school bell rang. The English teacher stepped into ss on the dot and immediately nced at Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly pushed Yu Zhe and said, ¡°Go back to your seat. The teacher¡¯s here!¡±
The English teacher was already thought badly of her. She didn¡¯t want to be a thorn in his flesh.
Yu Zhe didn¡¯t get his reply and felt very uneasy.
¡°We¡¯ll speak after ss then¡¡±
However, after ss, Mu Xiaoxiao received a short text. She let out an ¡®eh¡¯ sound in surprise.
¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Yu Zhe saw that the teacher had left and happened to see her surprised expression as he turned his head to look at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was smiling with her eyes, her face beaming as she said, ¡°I have something to attend to. I have to go.¡±
Yu Zhe¡¯s intuition told him that the matter had something to do with the text she had received. He questioned her frantically, ¡°Who sent you the text? Where are you going?¡±
How could Mu Xiaoxiao tell him? She had already left the ssroom quickly.
However, as she turned the corner and was about to go down the staircase, she met three girls who were walking towards her. They clearly appeared to be unfriendly and hostile.
¡°So you must be Mu Xiaoxiao?¡± The leader of the three girls had curly brown hair that looked supple and meticulously taken care of. She wore the school¡¯s jacket, but her skirt was altered to a particrly short length.

Noticing that they were not speaking cordially, Mu Xiaoxiao forced a smile and said, ¡°I¡¯m not Mu Xiaoxiao.¡±
With that, she was about to turn and leave.
¡°Hold her!¡± the girl shouted.
Then, the two girls from behind her jumped in, each one grabbing one of Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s arms to stop her from escaping.
¡°What are you doing? You¡¯ve got the wrong person!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao thought about making a final struggle. She recalled that the video taken was not very clear and thought that it wouldn¡¯t have been that easy to recognize her.
As she struggled, her phone dropped from her hand.
¡°My phone!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao heard the phone hitting the ground, and it pained her. She had only bought it for less than a month!
The leader of the girls walked forward and snatched the phone. Coincidentally, she saw the newly received message.
¡ª¡ªI¡¯ll be waiting for you at the poster wall.
And the sender was ¡®Lu Yichen.¡¯
The girl¡¯s face instantly turned gloomy. She raised the phone, and her eyes were almost shooting mes as she stared at Mu Xiaoxiao and said angrily, ¡°You dare to tell me that you¡¯re not Mu Xiaoxiao? You slut! You dare seduce Senior Yichen!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao did not know tough or cry. It¡¯s all Yu Zhe¡¯s fault for jinxing it. It happened just like he had said!
She was puzzled. Isn¡¯t this a scene that only appeared in dramas? Why was it happening in reality?
She was wrong. She should have believed him!
¡°This is a misunderstanding¡ Will you let me exin? I¡¯m only friends with Lu Yichen. tonic friends! The video was taken out of context. I did not confess to him! I only approached him to discuss certain matters. If you don¡¯t believe me, we can both find him and seek rification. Alright?¡±
From the looks of it, the three girls were not to be trifled with. To avoid unnecessary conflicts, she decided it was better to not fight back.
It can¡¯t be good to fight it out with them here, can it?
Mu Xiaoxiao was afraid to meet with any idents. For instance, what would she do if her clothes got torn apart? It would also be very painful if her hair was pulled!
She was scared just thinking about it.
It was really painful thest time Han Yun¡¯er pulled her hair! Her scalp had even gone numb. She didn¡¯t want to experience that again.
The situation wasn¡¯t in her favor. She had to rely on her wits.
The girl gave a cold smirk. Suddenly, she walked up to grab Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s cor and berated her, ¡°Who said anything about Senior Yichen? We¡¯re looking for you because of Young Master Jie! You shameless woman! You¡¯re seducing both Young Master Jie and Senior Yichen! If I, Han Xue¡¯er, do not punish you today, how will I go on as the president of Young Master Jie¡¯s fan club!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. So they were doing this for that rascal, Young Master Jie?
Then she would be even more wronged!
With a sullen expression, she acted pitifully and said to them, ¡°If it¡¯s just about Lu Yichen, I can understand. But as for Yin Shaojie, there is really nothing between us¡ Don¡¯t believe in the rumors! Rumors are usually false!¡±
Han Xue¡¯er snorted coldly. She tightened her grip on her cor and stared at her with a malicious gaze like a snake as she said, ¡°And I should just believe you? Don¡¯t think that I can be so easily fooled! Let me tell you something. Young Master Jie is not one who would take the initiative to woo girls! You can stop dreaming!¡±
At this moment, the girl who was grabbing Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s left arm said, ¡°Miss Xue¡¯er, I just realized something. Could she have spread that rumor herself? She might be using it to attract Young Master Jie¡¯s attention so that he would take interest in her!¡±
With that said, the three girls stared at Mu Xiaoxiao with murderous gazes.

Chapter 102: Swooning Over Young Master Yin
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao forced out augh and said embarrassingly, ¡°Your imaginations are too wild¡¡±
She felt a little stupid. How did things turn out like this?
If word really got out that she was the culprit, and with so many girls swooning over Yin Shaojie, it would be insane to deal with all of them as they would drown her with just their saliva.
Strangely, she felt a chill down her spine, and she couldn¡¯t help but shudder.
Adding the murderous res from the three girls, the chillness in the air was exceptionally intense.
Just at this moment, the phone in Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s hands rang. The girls looked at each other, at a loss.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a strange foreboding. Who would be calling at this time? Could it be Lu Yichen? If it was Lu Yichen, it would still be fine, but if it was¡
Han Xue¡¯er saw the name of the sender and was stunned for a moment. Then she said, ¡°I-It¡¯s Young Master Jie? How could it be?¡±
The two girls were also in shock and looked like they couldn¡¯t believe it.
¡°How could it be? How could this woman have Young Master Jie¡¯s phone number!¡±
They only needed to answer the call to find out if it was actually him.
Han Xue¡¯er looked grim, but she made a decision. She swiped the screen and answered the call.
¡°Mu¡ªXiao¡ªXiao!¡± a stern howl sounded from the phone.
This voice was too familiar to them. It was the voice of the man they swooned over.
¡°It¡¯s Young Master Jie. It¡¯s really him!¡± the two girls screamed unbelievably as they were holding onto Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s arms. At this moment, they were still foolishly infatuated and couldn¡¯t help but get excited from just hearing Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice, and they had the look of fascination on their faces.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled to see their love-struck faces.
Do you have to be so dramatic?
Indeed, Yin Shaojie looked rather exceptional. But they couldn¡¯t be so infatuated just over his voice, could they?
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly had a realization. Just as the two were loosening their grip on her, she snatched her phone from Han Xue¡¯er and sped towards the stairs.
¡°She ran!¡± Before they could react, Mu Xiaoxiao was already downstairs, and they couldn¡¯t catch up.
One of the girls chased until she was huffing and puffing. Her hands were supporting her waist as she asked Han Xue¡¯er, ¡°Miss Xue¡¯er, are we just going to let her go? Why does she have Young Master Jie¡¯s phone number? I can¡¯t ept that!¡±
Han Xue¡¯er was fuming and gritting her teeth as she red at Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s figure running far ahead.
¡°I won¡¯t let it go just like this. In any case, if she is still in this school, where can she possibly run? Unless she stopsing back to this school, when we meet her again, it will be the end of her!¡±
¡°But¡ She has Young Master Jie¡¯s phone number. Could they be acquainted? If we were to punish her, do you think¡¡±
¡°Shut up!¡± Han Xue¡¯er shouted fiercely. ¡°She must have schemed her way into obtaining Young Master Jie¡¯s phone number. I don¡¯t believe that Young Master Jie would fancy her! She¡¯s nothing! Even if I punished her to death, who would even care!¡±
The two girls nodded in agreement and took the chance to suck up to her, saying, ¡°Yeah. With Miss Xue¡¯er¡¯s status, why would she need to fear that little slut? We¡¯ll punish her hard next time!¡±
¡ª¡ª
Mu Xiaoxiao had run far away. Though there was no one chasing, she wouldn¡¯t dare to stop. Upon reaching the Year Three¡¯s school block, she panted heavily as she held herself against the wall.
At this moment, her phone rang again.

She raised her hands weakly to see the caller ID. It was Yin Shaojie.
¡°Hello¡¡± she said in a weak voice.
Displeased, Yin Shaojie frowned and asked her, ¡°What happened just now? Mu Xiaoxiao, you are getting out of hand. You dare to refuse my calls. Where are you right now?¡±
As Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s breathing stabilized, she patted her chest and said, ¡°I¡¯m¡ at the ssroom. Is anything the problem?¡±
¡°Ha ha. You dare to lie to me? You¡¯re getting bold, aren¡¯t you?¡±
Yin Shaojieughed coldly as he exposed her lies.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned, and she frantically looked around. Could he be hiding and spying on her from nearby? How else would he know she was not in the ssroom?
¡°I¡ This was all your fault!¡± She simply rebutted him and said, ¡°Did you know that I was just harassed by a few girls, and they almost gave me a beating?¡±
¡°What happened? Why can¡¯t you just tell me straight? Why do I have to ask!¡± Yin Shaojie said in an annoyed tone.
¡°I just had a narrow escape and haven¡¯t caught my breath. Can you let me catch my breath before I exin?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said resentfully, thinking that he was the reason that she had gotten into trouble.
¡°So have you caught your breath yet?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and took two deep breaths. Because she felt better, she exined the details of the incident to him.
¡°Oh yeah. She imed that she was the president of your fan club. You even have a fan club¡ Oh my god!¡± she teased as she looked like she could hardly stand the thought of it.
Yin Shaojie felt displeased at the tone of her voice. It seemed like he was beingughed at.
¡°The fan club is none of my business. They were the ones who set it up. Don¡¯t associate me with them. Okay, enough of that. Come to where I¡¯m at in five minutes. If you¡¯re not here by then, you¡¯ll face the consequence!¡±
¡°Oi! I¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to say that she still had things to attend to, but Yin Shaojie had already hung up without even hearing her exnation.
She stared at the phone resentfully and mumbled, ¡°What¡¯s with that bossy attitude?¡±
Hmph. You want me to go? I won¡¯t go.
He had the nerve to speak to her in such a menacing tone. She would not be bothered by that rascal!
Mu Xiaoxiao was wondering why Lu Yichen was looking for her. Then, she hurried to the poster wall that he had mentioned, which was just located beside Year Three¡¯s school block.
From afar, she could see Lu Yichen¡¯s handsome and tall figure. As he leaned against what looked like Roman pirs, the gentle breeze carried his fine ck hair, and he looked just like he was posing for magazines.
¡°Lu Yichen!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao cheekily skipped over, looking cheerful as she stood before him.
¡°I¡¯m sorry. I was dyed due to some matters. Have you been waiting long?¡±
Seeing her cute look, Lu Yichen smiled faintly and said in a warm voice, ¡°No, I haven¡¯t waited long. It¡¯s fine as long as you¡¯re here. Come sit here.¡±
There was a seat beside the pir, but he chose not to sit there. If he did, the pir would have hidden him away from her view.
Mu Xiaoxiao then saw a familiar bag. Her eyes glimmered instantly. ¡°Could this be¡¡±
Lu Yichen smiled as he picked up the bag and passed it to her. ¡°I bought this for you. Don¡¯t you like to eat strawberry cakes?¡±
¡°Thanks!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao could not be happier, and she couldn¡¯t help but feel a little moved. She didn¡¯t think that he would be so attentive and even remember what she liked to eat.
The two sat down. She ced the bag on her thighs. When she opened it, there were two strawberry cakes lying inside.

¡°Two is too many. I can¡¯t finish them,¡± she looked at him and said.
Lu Yichen smiled slightly and touched his nose in an awkward manner. Then he said with an embarrassed expression, ¡°Actually¡ one is for me.¡±
¡°Eh?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised as she thought of something. As she looked at him, her eyes bulged, and she cried in surprise, ¡°Could it be¡ that the strawberry cakes you boughtst time were all for yourself? I thought¡¡±
I thought that he had bought it for his girlfriend.
But I didn¡¯t think that he would buy it for himself.
It was unusual to see guys who liked to eat desserts. What¡¯s more, strawberry cake was a popr dessert among young girls.
Though Lu Yichen looked embarrassed, he still nodded his head in admission and said, ¡°That¡¯s right.¡±
Upon solving the mystery, Mu Xiaoxiaoughed heartily. She gave a piece to him and started eating jovially.
¡°You should eat too. I never thought that we would have the same tastes. Perhaps this is fate?¡±
He was the first friend that she had made in Shangde, and fate had brought them together because of strawberry cakes. Who knew that this was more than just a chance meeting.
Perhaps it was on the day that they had yed truant that Lu Yichen had a huge change in attitude towards her. He was friendlier. It was unlike the distance between them at the start.
¡°Oh yeah. There¡¯s something I want to tell you,¡± Lu Yichen said.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly finished the strawberry cake, and her mouth was all stained with cream. Then, she attempted to lick the stains off her mouth like a child as she muttered, ¡°What is it?¡±
Lu Yichen saw her childish look, and he couldn¡¯t help butugh. From his pocket, he drew out a tissue and passed it to her. ¡°Wipe your face with this.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised. ¡°Lu Yichen, are you really a guy? You actually carry tissues! My god! You¡¯re the first guy I¡¯ve seen who brings tissues! You¡¯re really a rare breed!¡±
Lu Yichen found her exaggerated expression to be amusing, and his smile grew broader.
¡°Is that apliment? If it is, I¡¯ll ept it. Thank you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him with intrigue, and she said humorously, ¡°So you joke too.¡±
Lu Yichen smiled faintly with pursed lips.
It had been a long time since he hadst joked. But the words just came naturally when he spoke to her.
¡°What did you want to say earlier?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
Lu Yichen looked at her with his deep brown eyes, and he said, ¡°The school has rehired the security guard.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised. ¡°Is that true? That¡¯s great!¡±
She was feeling happy. She knew that it had to be Yin Shaojie pulling the strings. Earlier, he had been talking proudly about how he wouldn¡¯t give anyone a second chance after firing them. Now, he had pped himself in the face.
Frankly, Young Master Jie would never do something like that.
However, he did it for her.
The more she thought about it, the happier and sweeter she felt.
Suddenly, she recalled that Yin Shaojie was looking for her and felt strangely worried. That rascal couldn¡¯t still be waiting for her, could he?
But why wouldn¡¯t he spare a thought. He was still threatening me with consequences. No one would want to go after hearing that.
But Mu Xiaoxiao had forgotten that Yin Shaojie had a habit of speaking in that overbearing manner. It was normal to him because no one around him would dare to defy him.
Lu Yichen looked at the time. Lessons had already started, and he asked, ¡°What ss are you having now? Don¡¯t you have to go?¡±
Chapter 105 - There Will be Consequences
Chapter 105: There Will be Consequences
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
With her thoughts wandering, Mu Xiaoxiao replied, ¡°I think it¡¯s Mathematics, but I don¡¯t want to go.¡±
Actually, she did not care about the academic program here, since she would have to leave for America again sooner orter. Thus, it didn¡¯t matter to her whether she attended the sses in China or not, since she would not need to take the college entrance exam.
Lu Yichen squinted at her for a while, looking hesitant. Finally, he said, ¡°Uh¡ I have physical education ss right now. We have a basketballpetition. Would you like toe watch?¡±
¡°Okay,¡± she said, agreeing without thinking. Her growing anxiousness was bing unbearable. She couldn¡¯t sit still, and she suddenly stood up and said to him, ¡°Uh¡ I have something urgent to attend to. I have to go. I¡¯ll find youter when I¡¯m free!¡±
¡°Uh-huh. Do you know where the basketball court is?¡± Lu Yichen thoughtfully considered that she might be unfamiliar with the ce since she was new.
¡°I don¡¯t know¡ It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll ask someone.¡±
She was in a hurry to go.
Lu Yichenughed as he saw her anxious behavior. He didn¡¯t want to hold her up any longer, and he said, ¡°I shall not keep you then. If you can¡¯t find the ceter, just give me a call.¡±
¡°Alright, that¡¯ll be it then! I¡¯m off. Bye bye!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t stay for a moment longer. She ran all the way to Year Two¡¯s school block. She was gasping for breath and supporting herself with her hands at her knees. Just as she about to walk up the stairs, someone suddenly grabbed hold of her arm.
She jumped in fright. ¡°What are you doing!¡±
¡°It¡¯s me,¡± someone with a deep voice said.
Hearing that familiar voice, she turned to look at Yin Shaojie and patted her chest to calm herself. ¡°You scared me! Don¡¯t you know that I could have died from fright? Why are you here?¡±
¡°Waiting for you.¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s deep dark eyes showed displeasure. He scanned the direction that she came from. Isn¡¯t that Year Three¡¯s school block?
He squinted, looked at her closely, and said to her in a severe manner, ¡°Where did you go just now? Didn¡¯t I tell you to be here in five minutes? It¡¯s past 15 minutes now! I said that there would be consequences. Tell me, what should I do with you?¡±
¡°Eh¡ uh¡¡±
A certain wretch was searching desperately in her mind for a lie, a way to exin the situation.
With folded arms and nted lips, Yin Shaojie looked at her and said, ¡°Tell me. Tell me a reasonable lie and see if I will ept it. Come on, tell me.¡±
Since he was young, he had seen enough of her idiosyncrasies to recognize whether she was lying. How could he not know if she was lying?
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly looked like a deted balloon. She stared at him with her big and innocent looking eyes and said, ¡°I wasn¡¯t going to lie¡ You seem to be implying that all that I can tell you are lies.¡±
¡°Then tell me. Where did you go just now?¡±
¡°I just¡¡± Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t dare to speak. This rascal seemed to have a thing against Lu Yichen. If he knew that she went to look for Lu Yichen first and neglected him, he was probably going to get angry again.
¡°You went to look for that Lu guy?¡± Yin Shaojie looked stern as he finished her sentence for her.
Just thinking about how she chose to meet Lu Yichen instead of him when they were both looking for her at the same time, Yin Shaojie felt a burning rage rising in his chest.
¡°No, I didn¡¯t!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao instinctively denied. But as soon as she lied, she felt an intense unease growing in her heart, constricting her chest. She was frantic and afraid of the unimaginable consequences when her lie would be exposed.
What now? I shouldn¡¯t have denied it!

Yin Shaojie took one step forward, and the two drew closer. He stared at her with his prating eyes as if he was going to see through her.
Mu Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva nervously as she was debating whether she should confess and plead for leniency.
However, he suddenly said, ¡°You did something behind my back!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly, feeling stupid.
What¡¯s that supposed to mean?
Even if he had found out that she went to see Lu Yichen, that doesn¡¯t count as cheating on him, does it?
Yin Shaojie raised his hand and swiped his finger across her mouth. His finger was stained with white cream. As if he had just found evidence, he said, ¡°You were eating cake behind my back?¡±
¡°Uh¡¡± It must have been the leftover stains from just now.
However, she felt relieved. He wasn¡¯t talking about her cheating on him behind his back. Instead, he was referring to her eating cake behind his back.
Yin Shaojie brought his finger to his mouth and licked the cream on his finger. ¡°Strawberry cake again? Why do you like strawberry cakes so much?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao saw what he did and stared nkly, and her face blushed slightly.
W-why did he have to lick it!
The words, ¡®indirect kiss¡¯, immediately floated in her mind.
Her cheeks instantly grew redder.
Then he scoffed at her and said, ¡°Aren¡¯t these types of cakes for kids? You¡¯re really childish.¡±
¡°Y-you¡¯re the childish one!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao found her voice as she stammered, concealing her embarrassment. ¡°Just because you don¡¯t like desserts, why must others give them up too? What¡¯s wrong with strawberry cakes? Did strawberry cakes make you angry? Lots of people like strawberry cakes!¡±
Hmph, even excellent guys like Lu Yichen likes them!
Just thinking that she had a friend who shared the same interest made her feel better.
¡°Why are you blushing?¡± Yin Shaojie noticed that she was acting odd, especially her evasive expression as she dared to not look him in the eye. He smelled something fishy.
¡°I wasn¡¯t¡ I was angry because of you!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao feigned a look of exasperation, and she stared at him and said, ¡°I¡¯m telling you. Don¡¯t you speak badly of strawberry cakes! Or else, or else¡ We¡¯ll break up!¡±
She could only feel that her face was burning hot. She then turned around and was about to leave.
Yin Shaojie hastily grabbed her and said, ¡°Alright, alright. I was wrong. Okay?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao turned to stare at him and said impatiently, ¡°You asked me toe here. What for? It can¡¯t be just to mock me?¡±
¡°Of course not.¡± Yin Shaojie pinched his eyebrows. He looked at her sternly and said, ¡°Okay. Let¡¯s get on with it. You just said that there are people who didn¡¯t treat you well. Who are they? What¡¯s her name? What have they done to you?¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you? The girl imed to be the president of your fan club. You should know her.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was agitated again as she recalled the incident. It was all his fault that she had be a public target.
Yin Shaojie rolled his eyes. ¡°I¡¯ve told you. I¡¯m don¡¯t care about those things. How would I know anyone from the fan club?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, ¡°Her name was Han Xue¡¯er¡ and I don¡¯t know about the others.¡±
¡°Han Xue¡¯er? Doesn¡¯t ring a bell,¡± Yin Shaojie said indifferently.
¡°Forget it then. In any case, I¡¯m fine. I¡¯ll just be more careful from now on and avoid them.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao had not met with such incidents before. Even though she had been fearful then, it didn¡¯t seem like a big deal now.
Yin Shaojie stared at her for a while and suddenly said, ¡°Why don¡¯t I tell everyone that you¡¯re my girlfriend? That way, no one will dare to try anything with you again.¡±

¡°No! Please, don¡¯t!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao refused him and saw his expression turn severe. She quickly smiled to lighten the atmosphere and carefully exined, ¡°I¡¯m only¡ doing this for you, okay? If I officially be your girlfriend, then how would you be able to chase other girls? Am I right?
Yin Shaojie looked down at her coldly. Displeased, he said, ¡°Have I said that I wanted to chase girls?¡±
The reason he felt so displeased was that he felt that she had refused him so quickly because she liked Lu Yichen and wanted to remain single for him.
¡°Cheh~¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked as if she had seen through him. ¡°You¡¯re so fickle. You have girlfriends one after another without a break. How could you resist not chasing girls?¡±
¡°You really don¡¯t want it?¡± he asked again sternly.
¡°I don¡¯t want it.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, and she didn¡¯t look too concerned about it.
Yin Shaojie smirked. There were so many girls who would want to be his girlfriend. But she was not even caring about it!
Hmph. As if I would care so much about her?
¡°You said it yourself, Mu Xiaoxiao. When I find my girlfriend, don¡¯t regret it!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted her mouth. ¡°Go find one then. It¡¯s none of my business anyway¡¡±
We were only forced into an engagement. It¡¯s not like a real marriage. Shouldn¡¯t he be happy that I¡¯m not restricting him? Yet, he¡¯s getting angry at me. It¡¯s just baffling!
¡°Alright! Don¡¯t forget what you just said!¡± he hissed and stared at her with a sharp gaze like an eagle. With a flick of his head, he turned and entered the building.
¡°Oi, are you angry?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao only just noticed his anger. But just as she was going to chase him, he was already gone.
What¡
She thought hard but couldn¡¯t understand how she had angered him.
I¡¯ve been so understanding. I¡¯m letting him chase girls freely. I¡¯m not even restricting him to have him remain chaste for the marriage, but he doesn¡¯t appreciate it.
Why doesn¡¯t he consider the fact that those infatuated girls already hate my guts?
If he were to announce that I was his girlfriend, wouldn¡¯t that cause them to hate me even more?
And he¡¯s not going to stay chaste for me. When he starts fancying some other girl and makes her his girlfriend, wouldn¡¯t those infatuated girls take that chance to take revenge on me?
Therefore, his n is simply not feasible!
Even if the n is not feasible, we could always find a better n. There¡¯s no reason for him to be so angry.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t understand.
She shrugged her shoulders, and thinking that she would coax him after school, she turned around to leave the ce.
Yin Shaojie returned to the ssroom looking frigid. The atmosphere around him was so cold that even the teacher didn¡¯t dare to approach him or even say a word.
Usually, when Young Master Jie returned to ss, the teacher would wee him with a smile and say something ttering to him. But this time, he didn¡¯t dare to even breathe as he could only feel terror in the air.
Yin Shaojie returned to his seat. Abruptly, he kicked away the table beside him. The table knocked into another table with a bang and overturned, falling onto the ground. The noise was so jarring that it shocked everyone.
Everyone looked around, at a loss, and didn¡¯t dare to make a sound.
No one had ever seen Young Master Jie so infuriated. Even his assistant, Wu Hao, was scared stiff.
Who could have angered Young Master Jie?
Whoever it was, they would definitely die a horrible death!

Chapter 108: Asking for Trouble
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Just as Lu Yichen expected, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t find the way to the basketball court. Initially, she had been following the signs along the road. However, Shangde High was simply too big and the signs too confusing for her that she inevitably got lost.
What¡¯s more, she went in circles and had no idea where she was.
Mu Xiaoxiao recalled that Lu Yichen had told her to call him in case she got lost. As she was just about to call him, she saw from a distance several girls walking toward her direction.
It seemed embarrassing for her to call about being lost, so she decided to try asking for directions first.
The girls seemed to be looking for something as they nced left and right.
Mu Xiaoxiao walked over and heard that they were discussing something and sounded rather displeased.
¡°Where could she be? The school is so big. Do we really have to look in every corner?¡±
¡°What choice do we have? We went to her ss, and she wasn¡¯t there. She must be too afraid to go back. We asked the security guard, and he said that he hasn¡¯t seen her. That means that she¡¯s still in school.¡±
¡°She must be hiding somewhere. Let¡¯s hurry it up. When we find her, we¡¯ll make sure she pays!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao slowed her steps as she had a strange feeling. But she had already walked over, and the three girls were approaching her. Then, they met face to face.
¡°Uh¡¡± she uttered before asking in a friendly manner, ¡°do you know the way to the basketball court?¡±
The three girls stared at her. They scrutinized her appearance, and one of them asked, ¡°You¡ You look like her! Are you Mu Xiaoxiao?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled.These girls are looking for me? Why are they looking for me?
They don¡¯t look friendly. It couldn¡¯t be anything good.
She smiled like a fool to feign innocence. ¡°What? Mu Xiaoxiao? That¡¯s not me. Are you looking for someone? I won¡¯t bother you then¡¡±
Why was she asking for trouble? She was mad at her own stupidity.
¡°Wait!¡± a girl called out. She narrowed her eyes as she looked at her and asked, ¡°You were asking the way to the basketball court? Don¡¯t you know the way to the basketball court?¡±
¡°Uh¡ I¡¯m new here¡¡±
Just as Mu Xiaoxiao said those words, she felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, the other girl eximed, ¡°Yes! Mu Xiaoxiao is a new transfer student! She is Mu Xiaoxiao!¡±
¡°I¡¯m not! I¡¯m really not!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao denied frantically. Seeing that the situation was going awry, she ran off!
¡°She is Mu Xiaoxiao! Catch her!¡± the three girls responded quickly and chased behind her.
Before she could run far, as she turned a corner, several other girls, who had probably heard the shouting appeared like fiends, ran towards her.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao is here! Catch her! Don¡¯t think you can run away!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao gasped. Just how many people are looking for me?
Before she could think, a girl appeared from the side and wanted to grab her from behind. However, she was too forceful as she pushed Mu Xiaoxiao to the ground.
Fuc¡ª
It hurts!!
Mu Xiaoxiao could feel a stabbing pain emanating from her palm, but she couldn¡¯t care about it. The girls had almost caught up to her. The girl before her also looked like she was about to rip her apart. One could imagine the terrifying consequences that would await her if they were to catch her!

She quickly picked herself up and pushed away the girl, and she ran forward with all her might.
Year Two¡¯s school block was just up front!
¡°Yin Shaojie! Yin Shaojie! Help!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes glimmered as she thought that she could be saved.
She was too lucky to have wandered her way to Year Two¡¯s school block by coincidence.
When the girls from behind heard her calling out Yin Shaojie¡¯s name, their faces turned grim.
¡°That slut is still taking the chance to earn Young Master Jie¡¯s pity. How shameful! We can¡¯t let her get away with it! Grab her quickly!¡±
Han Xue¡¯er also arrived after hearing the news. She red at Mu Xiaoxiao with a grim expression and gave orders to the others.
In ss, Yin Shaojie was totally ignoring the teacher¡¯s lecturing. He was resting his feet on the table and leaning back against his chair as he yed games on his phone when his ear moved slightly.
¡°Is there someone calling me?¡± he asked.
Wu Hao, who was sitting behind him, stared nkly for a moment. After catching on, he drew close to him and replied softly, ¡°No, Young Master Jie. I didn¡¯t hear anything.¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned. He felt a rush of emotion. The anger that he had been repressing grew again.
¡°That¡¯s all,¡± he said gloomily. He then lowered his head and continued ying on his phone.
At the ground floor.
Mu Xiaoxiao used all her strength as she ran towards the school block. ¡°Yin Shaojie! Kuh kuh!¡± she coughed as she shouted, ¡°Yin Shaojie! Help!¡±
Han Xue¡¯er was on edge, and she quickly shouted, ¡°Stop her from shouting! Grab her quickly! Stop her from shouting!¡±
It was after all not a morous event. If they made toorge amotion and attracted too much attention, it would also look bad on them.
A short distance away from Year Two¡¯s school block, Mu Xiaoxiao was surrounded and got caught.
She couldn¡¯t help it. There were just too many of them.
Mu Xiaoxiao was pushed to the ground. Han Xue¡¯er kicked her the moment she walked up andughed coldly. She stared down at her and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you keep running? Slut!¡±
The other girls formed a circle to mock Mu Xiaoxiao, who was at the center
¡°Take her away!¡± Han Xue¡¯er said.
¡°No¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t care about the pain. She wouldn¡¯t just let them drag her away as she continued to struggle with both her hands. She was afraid that they would take her somewhere secluded where they would be free to do anything they wanted.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoxiao remembered her time in America. Her friends all practiced karate, and they had even invited her to go along. However, she had been toozy to go.
She regretted it. If only I had went, I would be able to take on all ten of them, and these girls wouldn¡¯t be able to handle me.
One of the girls was kicked by Mu Xiaoxiao during her struggle. In a fit of rage, she gave her a kick in the back.
¡°Slut! You dare seduce Young Master Jie! Go to hell! How dare a lowly peasant like you seduce supreme Young Master Jie? You are shameless! Disgusting piece of trash!¡±
The reason they dared to touch Mu Xiaoxiao was because they had heard from ss S that she had only entered due to good academic results, not her wealth.
It was also for this reason that they would treat Mu Xiaoxiao with such prejudice.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s previous girlfriends all came from impressive backgrounds. Even if the girls felt jealous, they didn¡¯t dare to do anything to those girlfriends. They could only admire him in silence. But as they endured it, they had since umted a lot of hatred and envy.
This time, they could take the chance to vent all of their anger on Mu Xiaoxiao. A lowly peasant like her couldn¡¯t bepatible with Young Master Jie!

Also, since she was only a peasant, they wouldn¡¯t be worried about causing her harm.
That was what the girls had thought.
Even when they saw Mu Xiaoxiao in such a sorry state, they did not feel pity for her. Instead, they wanted to do worse.
¡°Sister Xue¡¯er, what shall we do now?¡± someone anxiously asked Han Xue¡¯er. They had to take Mu Xiaoxiao away quickly lest they attract more attention.
Han Xue¡¯er shot a cold nce at Mu Xiaoxiao, and she suddenly ordered, ¡°Strip off her clothes!¡±
The others were bbergasted.
¡°Didn¡¯t you hear? If she doesn¡¯t want to leave, strip off her clothes! Quickly!¡± Han Xue¡¯er shouted.
The others responded quickly. They bent at their waist and began pulling on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s clothes.
Mu Xiaoxiao was frightened badly. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me! Get off! Yin Shaojie! Help¡ªah!¡±
She was kicked again, but this time, it was in the stomach. She curled up in pain and sped her stomach.
It hurts. It hurts¡
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s forehead produced small drops of cold sweat. Her face wrinkled into a grimace. Dirt was stuck on her face from rolling around the dirt, and she looked pathetic.
Yin Shaojie, you bastard! Why aren¡¯t you saving me¡
Mu Xiaoxiao had never met with such a situation. She was frightened and at loss of what to do. She could deal with being beaten and endure the pain. But if she was stripped of her clothes and the students all came to watch¡
She was scared stiff. She felt cold, and it ached in her heart.
She couldn¡¯t bear the thought of it.
It must be said that Han Xue¡¯er was simply too vicious!
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t even have a chance to shout for help. With only two hands, how could she defend against all the girls? Some of the girls were not attempting to strip her clothes, but they were using the chance to beat her instead. Her arms were scratched and covered in red scars.
Yin Shaojie!
If you¡¯re still noting, I¡¯ll be dead¡
¡°Stop¡ª!¡± a stern howl resounded through the air.
Then, a ck figure ran at flying speed towards her and forcefully pushed away the girls around her, and he held the pitiful Mu Xiaoxiao in his embrace.
¡°Jie, Young Master Jie?¡±
The girls who fell onto the ground was stunned as they looked at the man before them. They had never thought that it would actually be Yin Shaojie!
Han Xue¡¯er looked in astonishment as well. Everyone looked upon Yin Shaojie as he held Mu Xiaoxiao in his embrace. His handsome face looked worrisome.
¡°Xiaoxiao, are you alright? How are you doing?¡± Yin Shaojie carefully raised Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s head as he lowered his head to check on her condition.
Upon hearing his voice, Mu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes.
She seemed to have let out a breath of relief, and sheined, ¡°Why are you so slow¡¡±
At least he is here to save her now.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyebrows were tightly knitted as he saw her clothes in a mess. He quickly adjusted it for her and asked anxiously, ¡°Where are you hurt? Tell me!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and struggled to stand. ¡°I was kicked a couple of times¡ But it¡¯s fine. It doesn¡¯t hurt now.¡±
She was smart enough to instinctively cover the important parts of her body when she was down on the ground. Moreover, the girls were quite weak due to their pampered lifestyles. Thus, even though she looked miserable, she was not hurt too badly.
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t believe her and said, ¡°Are you really okay? Don¡¯t lie to me!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao held his hand to support herself and was shaking as she tried to stand up. She looked at her body. She was gray from top to bottom like a cat that had rolled in the dirt.

¡°It¡¯s slightly painful, but I¡¯m fine,¡± she said again. Though the sight of being ganged up on and beaten was truly frightening, only some of the kicks were painful, and they were pulling on her for the rest of the time. Thus, the injuries were not severe.
Seeing the red traces on her arms from the scratching, she ttened her lips and cried out, ¡°It hurts¡¡±
Yin Shaojie saw that, and his handsome face turned gloomy.
With a piercing gaze, he scanned the girls and said in an icy voice that would cause one to quiver, ¡°Who scratched her?¡±
The girls were all frightened by his cold expression. They had never seen Young Master Jie like this. They trembled with fear and retreated a step.
¡°And who kicked her!¡± Yin Shaojie shouted again.
The two girls who kicked Mu Xiaoxiao showed fear on their faces. They tried to conceal it, but Yin Shaojie had already seen through them.
His cold gaze was fixated on their faces.
The two girls were scared pale, and their whole bodies began trembling.
¡°Young Master Jie¡ It¡¯s not like that. We didn¡¯t mean it¡¡±
At this moment, Han Xue¡¯er glowered at Mu Xiaoxiao. She pointed at her and said furiously, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, you said that there was nothing between you and Young Master Jie. You liar! You big liar! Slut!¡±
Seeing Yin Shaojie looking as if he was going to stick up for her, Han Xue¡¯er was infuriated and lost her senses. If not for Yin Shaojie, I would have run up to scratch this slut¡¯s face.
Hearing that, Yin Shaojie frowned. His dark eyes looked at Mu Xiaoxiao, who was in his arms, and he suddenly he let go of her.
He asked, in a rather impersonal tone, ¡°You really told them that there was nothing between us?¡±
Noticing his anger, Mu Xiaoxiao was slightly anxious. She steadied herself and said hesitantly, ¡°I¡¡±
Han Xue¡¯er looked at Yin Shaojie. Bearing herst hope, she asked, ¡°Yin Shaojie, is there anything between the two of you? There¡¯s nothing between you two, right? Then why are you so concerned for her?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but feel uneasy. She thought she might have hurt Yin Shaojie.
¡°Jie, I¡¡±
Just as she was about to exin.
Suddenly, a voice said coldly, ¡°There¡¯s nothing between us.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was motionless.
He said¡ that there was nothing between us?
She didn¡¯t think that he would say that. Her heart felt as if it had been crushed below a boulder. She was hurt and aggrieved.
She was clearly the one who had first denied their rtionship and the one who had said that she didn¡¯t want others to know of the rtionship.
But¡ Upon hearing his answer, she still felt her heart ache. She was upset.
Her dark eyes grew watery.
She finally understood why he was mad. It was so hurtful.
¡°I¡¯m sorry¡ Jie¡¡± she whimpered, as tears formed in her eyes.
Han Xue¡¯er was delighted after getting the answer that she wanted to hear. She immediately stared and Mu Xiaoxiao and said proudly, ¡°Young Master Jie has spoken. He has nothing to do with you! You slut! Don¡¯t think that Young Master Jie will pity you for your tears!¡±
As he heard her calling names, Yin Shaojie was extremely annoyed, and he shouted sternly, ¡°You, shut your mouth!¡±
Han Xue¡¯er felt wronged. ¡°Young Master Jie¡¡±
As he saw a clear teardrop rolling down Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s cheeks, Yin Shaojie felt as if a blow had been dealt to his heart.
Chapter 112
Sh*t!
Yin Shaojie cursed under his breath. His stretched his long arms around Mu Xiaoxiao and pulled her into his embrace. Vexed, he said to her by her ear, ¡°Damn! Stop crying!¡±
Upon seeing her tears, he had already regretted his earlier impulse.
He got mad from just hearing how she was telling others that there was nothing between them. Thus, he thought of spiting her and letting her taste her own medicine.
Who knew that the wretch would y dirty, crying at will and catching him off guard. Her actions had left him confused.
Mu Xiaoxiao leaned her head on his chest, and she sobbed softy, ¡°Jie¡ I¡¯m wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have said those things¡ Boohoo. Don¡¯t be mad. I¡¯m sorry¡¡±
¡°Alright! I won¡¯t be mad. I forgive you, alright? Stop crying,¡± Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help but say in a gentler voice. His thick and broad palm held the back of her head to calm her down.
Mu Xiaoxiao sniffed, and she stopped her tears.
Then, the onlookers who saw this sight all looked on in astonishment. Since the hugemotion, most of the students left their lessons and came out to stand around and watch. At this moment, a lot of people were watching upstairs in the block.
When everyone saw such a sight, they looked at each other and couldn¡¯t help but start having their own discussions.
How exactly is this girl rted to Yin Shaojie?
Yin Shaojie had never been seen acting so intimately toward a girl. He was even so protective and loving toward her. It was a sight too dazzling for everyone.
From their perspective, the way that Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao were interacting with each other was totally what a couple would do when at odds with each other.
As Han Xue¡¯er watched this scene, she gritted her teeth and wished that she could just pull them apart so that Mu Xiaoxiao would not be able to touch the man she loved. But Yin Shaojie¡¯s fearsome look intimidated her, and she didn¡¯t even dare to move.
¡°Y-young Master Jie¡¡± She finally found her voice, and she said to him, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that Mu Xiaoxiao had nothing to do with you? Why are you¡¡±
At this moment, the look of Yin Shaojie giving Mu Xiaoxiao his utmost care and protection made her grit her teeth with hatred, and she bit her lower lip till it turned pale.
The girls beside her all looked heartbroken. One of them even sped her mouth and broke into tears.
Hearing Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s voice, Yin Shaojie raised his head to stare at her coldly, and he said contemptuously, ¡°Who are you? Do I owe you an exnation about our rtionship?¡±
¡°I¡¡± Han Xue¡¯er looked hurt, and she said agitatedly, ¡°I¡¯m the president of your fan club! I¡¯m not just anyone. I¡¯m¡¡±
However, Yin Shaojie nted his mouth as he responded with ridicule, ¡°I¡¯ve never acknowledged these things! You can do that at your own leisure, and I won¡¯t care about it. But don¡¯t think that makes you anyone significant!¡±
Han Xue¡¯er was clearly dealt a huge blow. She looked to be on the verge of copse.
H-how could he say that¡
She had always thought that since she was the president of his fan club, he would be aware of her existence, and she thought that she was someone special to him.
However, he had burst her bubble. He told her that he had no idea of who she was, and he didn¡¯t care for the club that she had established for him. He even looked at her with disgust.
Han Xue¡¯er red at Mu Xiaoxiao with a hateful gaze, her eyes red, and she shrieked furiously, ¡°It¡¯s you! It¡¯s all your fault! If you hadn¡¯t seduced Young Master Jie, he wouldn¡¯t have treated me this way! You lowly peasant! What right do you have to be with Young Master Jie! You should go to hell!¡±
Chapter 113
Han Xue¡¯er had almost lost her wits as she threw herself at Mu Xiaoxiao to mess her up.
Yin Shaojie grabbed Han Xue¡¯er by her wrist and gripped it tightly, and he said fiercely, ¡°You dare to touch her? Do you have a death wish?¡±
¡°Hurts¡ It hurts¡¡± Han Xue¡¯er broke into tears from the pain. She was a frail girl from a wealthy family and had never been mistreated like this before. What¡¯s more, it was her Prince Charming who she had admired for so long who did this to her.
But Yin Shaojie was not fazed by her tears.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly reached out to stop him lest he really injured someone.
But just as she raised her arm, she gasped in deep pain and cried out, ¡°Hurts¡ª¡±
¡°What happened?¡± Yin Shaojie noticed it, and he suddenly flung Han Xue¡¯er aside.
He raised her arms and had a look. Her arm, which was usually fair and delicate, was bleeding with cuts all over it. It looked dreadful.
¡°How did you get injured like this?¡± He was startled, and he turned his prating gaze toward Han Xue¡¯er and the bunch of girls, making the atmosphere ufortable. ¡°You did it?¡±
He turned to look at Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s body, and he said anxiously, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you were fine? How is this fine?¡±
It shocked him when he saw that her palm was still bleeding.
¡°I¡ I forgot, okay?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao sulked as she pouted her little mouth. The situation was too dangerous just now when she had been surrounded and beaten by the girls. She had been more concerned with staying alive than caring about the injury on her hand.
¡°Let¡¯s go! I¡¯m taking you to the school¡¯s clinic!¡± Yin Shaojie frowned and said. With the severity of her injury, she should be going to the hospital. However, Shangde High¡¯s clinic was unlike other school¡¯s. It had aprehensive set of facilities and resources, and it was like a mini private hospital.
¡°Wait¡¡±
After taking only two steps, Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. Even though she was not critically injured, she could still feel the ache as she walked from the beating she had received.
Yin Shaojie gave her a look. He then carried her by her waist, and he scolded her, ¡°Stop saying you¡¯re alright!¡±
With a fierce expression, he scanned the girls again, and he said callously to Wu Hao behind him, ¡°You watch them. Don¡¯t let a single one of them get away. I¡¯ll be back to deal with them!¡±
His assistant, Wu Hao, who had seen most of his methods, couldn¡¯t help but shudder and feel pity for these girls.
He replied respectfully, ¡°Understood, Young Master Jie.¡±
Upon hearing these words, the girls felt unprecedented fear. Some of them fell to the ground and plead for mercy, ¡°Young Master Jie! We¡¯ve learned from our mistakes! Boohoo. We won¡¯t dare to do that again!¡±
Wu Haoughed dispassionately on the inside. You should be happy. Young Master Jie doesn¡¯t beatdies.
However, Young Master Jie has his ways to make you plead for death.
Mu Xiaoxiao heard the cries, and she couldn¡¯t bear it. The girls seemed to be truly afraid. They were pale and pleading for mercy.
¡°Jie¡¡± she was just going to speak, but Yin Shaojie red at her as if he knew what she was going to say. Displeased, he said, ¡°You shut up. Don¡¯t say a word. Just hold onto me tightly.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to hold onto his neck with her small hands in embarrassment.
Yin Shaojie was just about to go when he suddenly stopped. He turned to look at Han Xue¡¯er and smiled with pursed lips. He said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to know what our rtionship was? Fine, I¡¯ll tell you.¡±
Han Xue¡¯er looked at him in a daze. Her body was trembling. Suddenly, she had a strong feeling that it was an answer she wouldn¡¯t want to hear.

114 Announcing Her Status to Everyone

Like an emperor, Yin Shaojie looked down proudly upon and around at the onlookers. He raised his voice and announced, ¡°She is my wife! Is that clear?¡±
In an instant, Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s face turned pale.
The crowd at the school block were all stunned. They were either staring with bulging eyes or with their mouths wide open.
For a moment, the air was quiet, and only the sound of birds on the trees could be heard.
Yin Shaojie sneered. He paid no more attention to these people, and he carried Mu Xiaoxiao towards the school¡¯s clinic.
When they walked a fair distance away, Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him with narrowed eyes and said with some dissatisfaction, ¡°Why did you have to say that¡¡±
Displeased, Yin Shaojie looked down at her, and he said deliberately, ¡°Why? You¡¯re going to deny our rtionship again?¡±
¡°No!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao still felt slightly guilty, and she didn¡¯t dare to think about doing that again. She said, ¡°You could say I¡¯m your girlfriend or something else. You don¡¯t have to say that I¡¯m your wife.¡±
Yin Shaojie snorted bossily and said, ¡°It¡¯s my mouth, and I will say whatever I want!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Alright, she is speechless.
Luckily the school clinic wasn¡¯t too far. It only took a few minutes to reach it.
Yin Shaojie kicked open the door and carried her to a bed, and he sat her down on the bed.
¡°Doctor!¡± he shouted urgently.
Within a few seconds, a figure came running out. ¡°I¡¯ming! I¡¯ming!¡±
As the doctor was still approaching, Yin Shaojie stared at him with a stern gaze and shouted, ¡°Can you be faster? You¡¯re slow!¡±
The doctor wiped the sweat off his forehead, and he quickened his steps toward them. He stood beside him and bent at his waist, saying, ¡°Young Master Jie, what¡¯s the problem?¡±
¡°Can¡¯t you see the patient is here? Her hand is injured. Treat it quickly!¡±
Yin Shaojie was really irritable. He restrained and calmed down as he kept a watchful eye on the doctor.
The doctor quickly turned towards Mu Xiaoxiao and examined her wounds.
It¡¯s only a graze on the hand. It¡¯s nothing serious.
Seeing Young Master Jie¡¯s anxious look, he thought that the injuries would be more severe.
Although the doctor was mocking him inwardly, he didn¡¯t dare to reveal his thoughts, and he swiftly attended to Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s wounds.
In a few minutes, the wounds were properly bandaged.
Then, Yin Shaojie frowned and said, ¡°She was kicked a few times. I don¡¯t know if there are any internal injuries. Take a look at it.¡±
¡°Okay, Young Master Jie.¡±
The doctor stood up. He turned to face Mu Xiaoxiao, and he was about to reach out his hand.
¡°Wait! What do you think you¡¯re doing?¡±
He jumped in fright from Yin Shaojie¡¯s shout before he even touched Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s clothes.
Young Master Jie¡¯s expression was as if he was fighting off a pervert. The doctor wiped away his cold sweat again. He carefully exined, ¡°Young Master Jie, don¡¯t you want me to examine her?¡±
Yin Shaojie furrowed his brows. He considered for a moment and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want you anymore. Get me a female doctor here. Quickly!¡±
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go right away.¡± The doctor sighed with relief and ran out in haste.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat on the sickbed and shook her legs. Seeing that the doctor had gone far away, she said, ¡°Don¡¯t be so fierce. I¡¯m alright. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡±
He raised her bandaged arms and brought it closer for him to see. She said, ¡°It¡¯s much better now.¡±
After the sterilization and application of the medication, the wound feels refreshed, and it was not as painful as before.
Yin Shaojie saw that she could still smile. He couldn¡¯t help but pinch her on her nose, and he said dishonestly, ¡°Who¡¯s worrying about you? Don¡¯t tter yourself!¡±
However, it was at this moment that the tense feeling in his heart was finally relieved.

Mu Xiaoxiao wasughing heartily. She raised her eyebrows as she looked at him and mocked, ¡°You don¡¯t worry about me? You were so nervous just now. You looked like you wanted to kill people just a while ago. Isn¡¯t that worrying about me?¡±
As she thought about the way he looked, she felt so happy. Of course, she still needed lots of sweetness and warmth.
She didn¡¯t think that he would be so nervous for her.
All the time they spent together in their childhood wasn¡¯t wasted.
¡°You¡¯re really¡ Stop with the nonsense! It¡¯s not time to talk about this. Are you sorry now?¡± Yin Shaojie looked unnatural as he deliberately changed the subject. He didn¡¯t want her to continue talking about the topic because she would mock him and it would be hard to rebut her.
As Mu Xiaoxiao thought about the danger earlier, she couldn¡¯t help but breathe a sigh of relief and say, ¡°Aren¡¯t these girls too terrifying? I¡¯ve never experienced this in America.¡±
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes as he looked at her, and he asked in a rather strange tone, ¡°So you¡¯re regrettinging back?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was about to nod her head when she nced at him and noticed he was slightly displeased. She quickly smiled and said, ¡°Of course¡ª not! You¡¯re here, aren¡¯t you? With you protecting me, I won¡¯t have to be afraid of others anymore.¡±
¡°You don¡¯t say! With my protection, no one dares to touch you,¡± Yin Shaojie said arrogantly.
At this point, almost the whole school should have known about his announcement.
Unless anyone really had a beef with him, no one would dare to touch her.
Mu Xiaoxiaozily stretched her back and pulled on the painful area at her stomach. She frowned slightly as she stroked the painful area at her abdomen, and she said gloomily, ¡°I¡¯m really unlucky. I just had to provoke those crazy girls.¡±
They say that girls could be madly in love. Now she had finally seen it for herself.
Yin Shaojie noticed her action. ¡°Is it painful?¡±
He frowned. He looked outside the door, and he said angrily, ¡°Where¡¯s the female doctor? Is she dead?¡±
By coincidence, the female doctor had just arrived at the door. When she heard the shout, she walked in, trembling with fear.
¡°Young Master Jie, I-I came as fast as I could.¡± Even though it was only a clinic, the building area was not small. It required some time toe down from the third floor.
Yin Shaojie stared at her with a strict expression and said, ¡°What are you waiting for? Hurry up and examine her.¡±
¡°Okay, okay!¡± the female doctor responded and nodded. She walked to the side of the bed. She touched Mu Xiaoxiao over her clothes, and then, she very naturally lifted her shirt.
Yin Shaojie happened to be keeping an eye on the female doctor¡¯s actions. When she lifted her shirt, he naturally saw Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s t, fair abdomen. Moreover, since the female doctor had lifted the shirt quite high, he could even vaguely see the edge of her bra.
He looked slightly ufortable and turned his gaze away.
But in his mind, he could not forget the edge of her bra. It was pink. Could it also have strawberry patterns?
As he thought about it, he couldn¡¯t help but remember the strawberry panties fromst time.
A certain handsome face blushed.
However, his mind could not be restrained as an image surfaced. It was the image of Mu Xiaoxiao wearing aplete set of strawberry patterned lingerie¡
¡°Jie¡ Jie? Yin Shaojie!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at his handsome face. Her clear, melodious voice, which was like the sound of silver bells, called out to him.
Yin Shaojie then suddenly returned to reality. He even choked on his own saliva as he said, ¡°Kuh, kuh, kuh¡ W-what?¡±
He was flustered because his depraved thoughts might be exposed.

Mu Xiaoxiao thought that he was acting oddly. She looked at him suspiciously, and she couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°What were you dreaming about just now?¡±
¡°Nothing.¡± Yin Shaojie acted like nothing had happened, and he looked towards the female doctor and asked, ¡°So how¡¯s her condition looking?¡±
The female doctor put down Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s shirt, and she replied, ¡°From my initial inspection, there seems to be no injury to the internal organs. However, since this student is covered in dirt, there may be injuries in other ces. Therefore, I would like to do a more detailed examination.¡±
¡°Yeah, do it then.¡±
Yin Shaojie coughed and stood up. He said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°You just stay here, and I¡¯ll go settle some business outside. I¡¯ll be back quickly. Don¡¯t run away, okay?¡±
¡°Okay,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao obediently replied.
Yin Shaojie was only satisfied after hearing her reply. He looked at the female doctor and warned her, ¡°Take good care of her.¡±
¡°I understand, Young Master Jie. Don¡¯t worry,¡± the female doctor replied.
Yin Shaojie then felt reassured, and he left the school¡¯s clinic.
¡ª¡ª
Back at the scene of the incident, Wu Hao had found some helpers from somewhere. They surrounded the girls, who numbered more than ten, to prevent them from escaping.
Seeing Yin Shaojie¡¯s return, Wu Hao quickly received him and nodded as he said, ¡°Young Master Jie, all of them are here just as you instructed.¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Yin Shaojie nodded satisfactorily as he cast a cold gaze at the girls.
Although the ss bell had rung, there were still lots of students watching, curious to see how he would deal with the incident.
Yin Shaojie smiled.
The girls were weeping endlessly. When they saw him return, they pleaded softly for mercy, saying that they were in the wrong and that they wouldn¡¯t dare to do it again.
Only Han Xue¡¯er, who was standing in front, looked gloomy as she refused to give in.
Yin Shaojie walked with his long legs and stood before them, and he shouted sternly, ¡°Whoever kicked her, step out now!¡±
He could still remember the two girls from before. He scanned them with his sharp gaze to see if they dared to admit their deeds.
However, facing his terrifying expression, no one dared to step out. They withdrew timidly and didn¡¯t dare to utter a word.
¡°You dared to do the deed, yet you won¡¯t take responsibility?¡± he scoffed.
The two girls whom he red at instantly copsed to the ground as their legs gave way. They crawled out with tears in their eyes, saying, ¡°It¡¯s us¡ Young Master Jie. We didn¡¯t mean to do it! We didn¡¯t know she was so important to you. We thought that she was trying to seduce you using her schemes, so we¡ If we knew she was yours, we definitely wouldn¡¯t have touched her. Please believe us!¡±
¡°So you¡¯re saying that it¡¯s my fault? You¡¯re ming me?¡± Yin Shaojie nted his mouth in a cold expression.
The two girls were trembling with fright, and they shook their heads frantically and said, ¡°No! It¡¯s our fault! It¡¯s our fault!.¡±
Yin Shaojie gave Wu Hao a look.
Although he wasughing bitterly inside, Wu Hao understood and nodded. Young Master Jie didn¡¯t want to dirty his hands by beating girls, but he would ask others to do it for him. Wu Hao obediently followed his orders and instructed two guys to take the two girls away to be punished.
This time, Yin Shaojie turned his gaze to Han Xue¡¯er.
In the past, Han Xue¡¯er had always wished that Yin Shaojie would spare her a nce. But now that she had her wish fulfilled in these circumstances, she wasn¡¯t celebrating. There was only fear emanating from her heart.
She heard two girls¡¯ miserable shrieks from the side. The guys were forceful. In just a little while, their faces were already swollen and red.
Unwavering, Han Xue¡¯er gritted her teeth, and she wouldn¡¯t admit that she had a part in kicking Mu Xiaoxiao.

Does she think that if she just refuses to admit it that he won¡¯t be able to find out?
Yin Shaojie stared coldly at her.
The intense pressure almost took over Han Xue¡¯er. Still, she said nothing. She lowered her head and kept silent.
¡°Very good.¡± Yin Shaojie pursed his slender lips, looking indifferent. The depth in his gaze kept his thoughts well hidden.
His gaze shifted from her to the other girls. Suddenly, he ordered, ¡°Kneel! All of you!¡±
The girls looked at him, stunned.
The two girls who had been punished were dragged back to their original positions.
Yin Shaojie said gravely, ¡°I want you all to walk on your knees all the way to the school¡¯s clinic and apologize to Mu Xiaoxiao!¡±
The girls were stunned as they stared with eyes widened, yet not a single one dared to speak against him.
At this moment, one of the girls knelt down. In response, the other girls followed suit and hurried onto their knees.
Only Han Xue¡¯er was left standing. She was still resisting and biting on her lips, which had turned pale.
Seeing that Yin Shaojie had not forced her to admit, she thought that he would not treat her too harshly given her status¡ª she was, after all, the wealthy daughter of the Han¡¯s corporation. She had also heard from her father that their family had businesses with the Yin family.
Perhaps, Yin Shaojie was taking into consideration the rtionship between the two families?
Han Xue¡¯er felt a little delighted. In any case, I¡¯m different from the others, and Yin Shaojie wouldn¡¯t dare to treat me badly.
However, a pair of long legs walked towards her.
Han Xue¡¯er saw it and instinctively raised her head. When she looked up to see Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression, her heart trembled.
He¡ smiled. But his smile was terrifying.
¡°Y-young Master Jie¡¡± she trembled as she called out in pitiful voice in an attempt to gain his pity.
However, she had miscalcted. Yin Shaojie could only feel tenderness towards Mu Xiaoxiao. The cold, severe expression staring at her was unmoved.
Yin Shaojie looked cruel as he smiled and said, ¡°You don¡¯t want to kneel? You have some spine! I just don¡¯t know¡ whether you¡¯ll still have any spine left when your family is ruined? How long do you think it would take for me to copse the Han¡¯s corporation?¡±
Han Xue¡¯er looked at him, shaking. Her whole body seemed to have been drained of blood as she shuddered.
At this moment, she thought that the man before her was a demon.
She knew that he dared to do it, and he would do it for real!
Moreover, with the Yin family¡¯s power, Yin Shaojie would only need a short time to copse a corporation if he wanted to.
Han Xue¡¯er turned pale. She fell on her knees with a loud pop, and tears rolled down her cheeks miserably.
¡°Good girl.¡± Yin Shaojie satanically smiled.
The onlookers were stupefied. Though it was known that Yin Shaojie had the greatest power at Shangde, no one could imagine that Young Master Jie would start a war over one girl.
With this, it was clear to everyone that Young Master Jie held Mu Xiaoxiao in high regards.
Yin Shaojie turned around and walked towards the school¡¯s clinic.
Following behind him were more than ten girls on their knees.
The scene was simplyical. There were several girls who were disapproving of Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s usual arrogance. Han Xue¡¯er had been tyrannically abusing others by leveraging her position as the president of Young Master Jie¡¯s fan club. Thus, the girls secretlyughed as they saw her in such a sorry state.
The guys were mostly there for the show.
Everyone went along to the school¡¯s clinic in anticipation for the events that would ensue.

At the school¡¯s clinic, Mu Xiaoxiao was having the female doctor apply medication on the bruised areas when she suddenly heard amotion.
It seems like it ising from downstairs?
¡°Doctor, did you hear anything¡¡±
Just as she was going to ask, someone called out her name.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao! I¡¯m sorry! Please forgive us!¡±
However, it wasn¡¯t just a single cry. The cries continued unceasingly.
Mu Xiaoxiao was embarrassed. What is this situation? Could it be that Yin Shaojie had sought the girls to settle ounts? Did he bring them here to apologize?
At this moment, Yin Shaojie walked in. The first thing he did was look at the female doctor, and he asked, ¡°Are you done with the examination? How¡¯s her situation?¡±
The female doctor quickly stood up and reported, ¡°Her injuries are not heavy. It¡¯s just a superficial wound and will be better after some medication.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Yin Shaojie felt reassured. He walked over to help up Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°Come, I have something to show you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at his handsome face as she confirmed her earlier guess, and she was all smiles.
However, as she walked to the balcony and saw the situation downstairs, she was stunned.
More than ten girls, including Han Xue¡¯er, were kneeling on the ground. They were kowtowing and begging for her forgiveness.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stupefied. She turned toward him, staring nkly as she asked, ¡°W-what¡¯s this situation?¡±
Smiling, Yin Shaojie said, ¡°They are apologizing to you. Just watch. We can let them go once you feel better.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or cry. ¡°This is too dramatic¡¡±
Though she hated these girls since they had bullied her and shown no mercy when beating her up, she still felt a little ufortable looking at the scene.
So many of them were kowtowing to her. It was all too horrifying.
Finally, she couldn¡¯t bear it, and she said to him, ¡°Forget it. Forget it. Let them stop. I feel quite ufortable watching this.¡±
The girls below were all pampered girls from wealthy families, and they had never been through such grievances. Their faces were all stained with tears.
Yin Shaojie looked askance at her and said, ¡°So fast? Don¡¯t grow soft on them. Just think about how they were harming you back then. They weren¡¯t soft on you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao noticed that the girls¡¯ knees were filthy. Since some of them were wearing skirts, their knees were also grazed.
She frowned and suddenly had a horrifying thought.
¡°They¡ didn¡¯te here on their knees, did they?¡± She looked at him in nkly.
Yin Shaojie nodded indifferently. ¡°Yeah. Did you think I would let them go so easily? They dared to harm you. This is only a small price to pay. I have been lenient.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
This is leniency?
If he hadn¡¯t been lenient, what could have happened?
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t imagine, but she had seen this cruel side of him for the first time.
Without her forgiveness, the girls continued to kowtow, and they didn¡¯t dare to stop.
Mu Xiaoxiao simply disliked such a sight. Seeing that Yin Shaojie wouldn¡¯t help her, she stepped forward and said to the girls, ¡°Alright, I forgive you!¡±
The girls finally stopped their movements.
Yin Shaojie looked at her disapprovingly and clicked his tongue. He pulled her into his arms and took her into the building. ¡°If you don¡¯t like what you see, then we¡¯ll stop watching.¡±

¡°Next time, can you discuss it with me before you do anything?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao sighed and said as she stared at him.
If she had seen too much of that, she was afraid that she would have nightmares.
Yin Shaojie turned a deaf ear. He took the medication from the female doctor, and he got into a half-squat posture in front of her. ¡°Get on. I¡¯ll take you home.¡±
¡°No need. I¡¯m much better now. I can walk by myself.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao instinctively rejected him. Especially after seeing the female doctor¡¯s shocked expression, she didn¡¯t want Yin Shaojie to carry her.
Yin Shaojie turned back and nced at her, and he said bossily, ¡°Get up quickly, you hear?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had no choice but toy on his back embarrassingly.
Yin Shaojie carried her on his back and left the school¡¯s clinic.
As they walked out of the school¡¯s clinic, the people outside had not scattered. As they saw Yin Shaojie carrying Mu Xiaoxiao, they were stunned as if they had just seen an unbelievable scene out of a fantasy story.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt embarrassed, and she simply dug her face into his shoulders as she pretended not to see anything.
Yin Shaojie paid no attention to how the others were looking at them as he carried her to the parking lot.
The two walked in the hallway. Fortunately, sses were going on, and there weren¡¯t many people around. Mu Xiaoxiao finally began to feel at ease.
She stared at his handsome face from the side. Suddenly, she thought of something and said resentfully, ¡°See, I told you. I¡¯m not that heavy. You¡¯re not even panting after carrying me for so long.¡±
Seeing that she could still joke, Yin Shaojie thought that she was feeling alright. He then deliberately said in a derisive tone, ¡°You¡¯re so heavy, yet you still have the gall to talk like that. I just happened to be strong, which is why I¡¯m not panting. If some other guy was carrying you, he wouldn¡¯tst a few steps.¡±
¡°Yin Shaojie! You¡¯re so annoying!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao grew mad and hit his shoulders. He was just sticking out for her a while ago, and now, he was mocking her.
¡°Fat little pig. It¡¯s painful, okay?¡±
¡°You¡¯re saying it again! You¡¯re saying it again!¡±
The two continued frolicking until they reached the parking lot. Yin Shaojie put her in the car, and they drove out of school.
Mu Xiaoxiao fell asleep in the car, perhaps because of the torture that she had been through.
Back at the luxurious condominium, the sports car steadily came to a stop in the parking lot.
Yin Shaojie turned his head and saw that she was sleeping soundly.
¡°You are a little pig, sleeping at will.¡± Yin Shaojie smiled while looking at her. He reached out his hand to tap her cute nose.
¡°Uh¡ Stop messing around¡ Go away¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao waved her little hand to pat the disturbing ¡®fly.¡¯
Yin Shaojie saw her adorable look, and he smiled. He got out of the car, walked over to the other side, and carried her out horizontally. Mu Xiaoxiao was leaning on his strong shoulders. His body was warm andforting.
Yin Shaojie carried her into the lift and up to their apartment.
They entered the apartment, and he ced her on the sofa in the living room. He sat down on the carpet, and his deep gaze watched her fair, delicate face.
His gaze fell upon her lips, and for a moment, it stayed there.
Something stirred in his eyes, and his heart thumped wildly as if a lion was hidden within him.
He couldn¡¯t bear it, and he reached out his hand to touch her.
This wretch¡¯s face is as soft as a marshmallow. It feels so good to the touch that anyone would want to pinch it.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t know restraint. He had always done anything that he desired. Thus, he lifted himself and moved closer.

Chapter 120: What a Poor Sleeping Posture

Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly moved. Her eyshes fluttered like a butterfly¡¯s wings as if she had woken up.
Yin Shaojie panicked as he stepped back and bumped into the coffee table, almost falling down.
However, the person lying on the sofa had only turned her body to face outward and smacked her lips before she steadily returned to sleep again.
Yin Shaojie stayed still as he stared at her face for a long while. The air was so quiet that it seemed as if it was frozen, and one could hear a pin drop.
He then realized that she hadn¡¯t actually noticed anything and wasn¡¯t going to wake up anytime soon. It wasmon for people to turn in their sleep.
He had been afraid for nothing.
As he stared at her sleeping face with his dark eyes, Yin Shaojie clicked his tongue and pretended to say in a derisive tone, ¡°What a poor sleeping posture.¡±
However, he was only so nervous because he had a guilty conscience and thought that he had been found out.
He stood up, and his tall body moved closer. Just as he was going to pinch her cheeks, he heard a ringtone.
It came from Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s phone in her pocket.
Mu Xiaoxiao was rmed by the ring-tone, and her eyebrows were knitted as if she was reluctant to wake up.
Yin Shaojie quickly reached into her pocket to get the phone lest she got woken up.
However, when he saw the caller ID, he squinted his eyes in displeasure.
Lu Yichen?
He stared at Mu Xiaoxiao. This wretch actually has Lu Yichen¡¯s phone number. Just how close are they?
The ring-tone was still ringing. Seeing the name on the screen flickering, Yin Shaojie grew mad.
Without hesitation, he hung up the call.
He added the number to the cklist and deleted the contact from the address book.
Yin Shaojiepleted the few steps all in one go without feeling a tinge of guilt, and he ced the phone onto the coffee table.
He looked down to stare at Mu Xiaoxiao, who was sound asleep. Dissatisfied, he reached out and pinched her nose.
¡°Little wretch, you¡¯re seducing guys everywhere. Do you even care about your husband?¡±
It¡¯s bad enough that you¡¯re handing out with other guys. But of all people, you had to hang out with Lu Yichen.
I clearly told her that I had a beef with Lu Yichen. But, she just turned a deaf ear and continued to see that guy, even exchanging phone numbers in just a few days of meeting him. Why can¡¯t I remember thest time Lu Yichen was so good to hang out with?
Just thinking about how Lu Yichen had treated this little wretch differently from how he treated others, he grew sulky and angry.
Mu Xiaoxiao was being pinched on her nose. Theck of air was very ufortable, and she was about to get suffocated. She turned her head to resist it and unconsciously opened her mouth to breathe instead.
Yin Shaojie gazed at her lips. The look of her, especially as her small mouth was slightly opened, seemed to be inviting him to kiss it.
He regretted how he had been scared off by her earlier.
Mu Xiaoxiao wascking oxygen, and she struggled to breathe. She turned and finally woke up.
¡°Uh¡¡± she uttered a soft sound.
This time, Yin Shaojie was responsive. He lowered his head and looked at her face to see if she was really about to wake up or just whimpering in her sleep.
Unfortunately, Mu Xiaoxiao had really woken up, and he was disappointed.
Yin Shaojie saw her eyelid lifting, and he knew that she was waking up. He quickly stood up and moved away from her, pretending that nothing had happened.
Mu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes in a daze, and she looked at him

Yin Shaojie pretended not to hear anything as he looked elsewhere, but his handsome face was glowing unnaturally red. Luckily, the wretch was just waking up and was still drowsy-eyed, and she couldn¡¯t see clearly.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat up and yawned as she stretched her backnguidly. She wiped her mouth with her hand and realized that it was wet.
Did I drool in my sleep?
She wiped it off quickly with the back of her hand to remove the evidence lest Yin Shaojie mock her upon seeing it.
She was beginning to see clearer. She squinted curiously at Yin Shaojie and asked, ¡°Jie, why are you sitting there? What are you doing?¡±
¡°¡¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s usual intelligence seemed to be malfunctioning. He stuttered and came up with a random answer, ¡°I¡ I¡¯m meditating.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked puzzled. ¡°Meditating?¡±
¡®Meditating¡¯ doesn¡¯t seem like a word that goes along with him, does it?
Yin Shaojie stood up and returned to his casual state, and he cast a nce at her and said, ¡°It¡¯s none of your business. Aren¡¯t you sleepy? Go back into the bedroom and sleep.¡±
With that, he strode off into the study, and he mmed the door with a bang.
Bewildered, Mu Xiaoxiao batted her eyes and scratched her head as she watched him walked away.
What¡¯s up with this guy?
She smacked her lips and felt that her mouth was dry. When she was about to leave the sofa to get a drink, the door to the study suddenly opened. Yin Shaojie looked emotionless as he walked toward her. With the phone on the coffee table in his sight, he quickened his steps.
¡°Lend me your phone for a while.¡± Before she could react, he quickly took it away and went back to the study.
¡°You have your own phone. Why do you need mine?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t understand him.
But she first wanted to quench her thirst, and she didn¡¯t chase after the phone since she had no secrets on her phone anyway.
She walked over to the fridge and picked up a bottle of mineral water.
Yin Shaojie returned to the study with the phone. Feeling vexed, he quickly deleted Lu Yichen¡¯s call and message records. He had actually forgotten about this step and only remembered it as he entered the study. Luckily, the wretch was still sluggish after just waking up and didn¡¯t find anything suspicious about him.
After deleting the records, he brought out the phone and saw that Mu Xiaoxiao was drinking water.
¡°Jie, I¡¯m hungry¡ There are only biscuits at home. Is there nothing else to eat?¡± She looked at him as she walked over. After drinking some water, her mouth looked like pudding, moist and tender.
Yin Shaojie instantly recalled the kiss from earlier, and he felt strangely thirsty.
¡°Let me drink some.¡± He reached out his hand and snatched the bottle from her hand like a tyrant.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared dejectedly at him, and she pouted her lips and said, ¡°Go get one yourself!¡±
She licked her lips and still felt a little thirsty. Frustrated, she turned around and walked towards the fridge to pick up another bottle.
Yin Shaojie raised his head and drank her water.
Was it because she drank from the bottle? There was actually a slight sweetness, and it tasted different than usual.
After gulping down the remaining water, he opened the lid of the rubbish bin and threw the bottle into the bin.
When Mu Xiaoxiao saw him use his arms to wipe away the water on his mouth, she had a thought.
If he drank the same water I drank, isn¡¯t that indirectly kissing?
With that thought, her gaze instinctively shifted to his slender lips. His lips had a nice shape and a sex appeal that was hard to describe. Could it also be the type that was great at kissing?

Chapter 122: A yboy
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
She immediately remembered his numerous girlfriends. His pair of sexy lips must have kissed quite a few girls already.
That thought made her feel a little down.
Internally, she scolded him. You yboy!
Yin Shaojie felt the resentment in her gaze. Wrinkling his brows, he asked, puzzled, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You have to wait a little even if you¡¯re hungry because there¡¯s no way I can magically create something for you to eat. I¡¯ll call for someone to deliver something, okay?¡±
¡°Can¡¯t you cook noodles or something?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. Her heart was still discontent, so she wanted to put him on the spot.
Yin Shaojieughed with amusement. ¡°Cook noodles? This young master has never even boiled water before! You can eat my cooking, provided that you¡¯re unafraid of death.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him and snatched the phone. ¡°I¡¯m obviously not going to mistreat myself! Hurry up and get food delivered! I want to eat pizza, pasta, and, oh, barbecued wings too. Tell them to hurry up; I¡¯m really hungry.¡±
¡°Eating so much? You wretch, are you really a girl? Are you not afraid of getting fat?¡± He looked at her in disbelief and even swept his gaze over her figure from her head to toe.
Talking about sizes, she wasn¡¯t actually considered fat. She had a slender figure, a tiny waist, and graceful curves. It was every girl¡¯s dream figure, and, of course, one that drew the attention of men.
Mu Xiaoxiao held her little chin up proudly. Looking askance at him, she said, ¡°Humph, why do you care? I won¡¯t get fat, and I can eat anything I want without getting fat!¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s lips curled up. Staring into her eyes, he said challengingly, ¡°Alright then. If that¡¯s what you say, I¡¯ll be ordering them. I¡¯ll order a lot of food for you to eat, and we¡¯ll see if you really don¡¯t get fat.¡±
Thus, a devilish goal suddenly formed: to feed this girl into a plump little thing.
Mu Xiaoxiao waved her hand carelessly. ¡°Just order it. Also, remember to get dessert for me. Tiramisu and mousse are fine, but the most important thing is that it has to be¡¡±
Yin Shaojie interrupted, ¡°Strawberry-vored! What¡¯s so addictive about strawberries?¡±
She stuck her tongue out at him. ¡°I like them, and I¡¯m addicted to them. There¡¯s no point telling you if you don¡¯t understand!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to know about it,¡± Yin Shaojie said in a tsundere manner before grabbing his phone and ordering food.
Mu Xiaoxiao had drunk too much water and wanted to go to the washroom. She entered the washroom but forgot to put down her phone first.
Her phone rang while she was sitting on the toilet.
She felt a little embarrassed. Why did someone have to call when she was in the washroom?
The caller ID showed a foreign number.
Without thinking too much of it and assuming that it was a wrong number, she picked up the call. ¡°Hello?¡±
¡°Xiaoxiao, it¡¯s me, Lu Yichen.¡± The person on the other side had a maic voice.
Mu Xiaoxiao almost choked on her own saliva. ¡°Ahem ahem¡ Y-you, why is it you?¡±
¡°What are you doing?¡± Lu Yichen asked.
¡°I..¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face flushed. She couldn¡¯t say that she was in the toilet, could she?
¡°N-Nothing! What¡¯s up?¡± she lowered her voice as she asked, embarrassed.
Lu Yichen paused for a while before saying, ¡°I called you just now but was hung up on. I called back, but I couldn¡¯t reach you again as though my number had been cklisted. I think¡ I don¡¯t think you were the one who did it though.¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Surprised, Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°Did you call me? I haven¡¯t received anything. When was it? When did you call?¡±
¡°Ten minutes ago.¡±
¡°Ten minutes ago¡ I was still sleeping,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao muttered before her eyes grew wide.
When she had been sleeping, there was only one person beside her ¡ª Yin Shaojie. She didn¡¯t even need to guess that it was that jerk¡¯s doing. He must have hung up and cklisted Lu Yichen when he saw that he had called her.
Oh, right! Was Yin Shaojie trying to get rid of the evidence when he took her phone away earlier mysteriously?
That detestable jerk! How could he have done such a thing!
Mu Xiaoxiao apologized hurriedly, ¡°Lu Yichen, I¡¯m sorry¡ My friend did that.¡±
Lu Yichen¡¯s low voice said gently, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I knew that it couldn¡¯t have been you. How are you? I heard that you were beaten up. Are the injuries serious?¡±
It turned out that he had called her so urgently to show his concern.
It looked like he was already treating her as a friend. Mu Xiaoxiao was happy, and her face lit up with a smile.
¡°It¡¯s okay and isn¡¯t very serious. I wanted to look for you at the basketball stadium but was unlucky enough to be blocked by people¡¡±
Lu Yichen¡¯s voice sank lower. ¡°I heard about that. Sorry. If I didn¡¯t ask you toe¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s not your fault! I can¡¯t me you for this.¡±
If someone were to be med, it should be that jerk, Yin Shaojie. This was all his doing; if not, there wouldn¡¯t be such crazy fangirls.
¡°Are you really okay? Please don¡¯t lie to me if you aren¡¯t. I want to know how you really are.¡± It was obvious that Lu Yichen was genuinely concerned for her.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m really fine. If I wasn¡¯t okay, I wouldn¡¯t be talking to you so happily right now, would I?¡±
It was only then that Lu Yichen rxed. ¡°That¡¯s good to hear. Also, can I ask you about something?¡±
His voice sounded grave and severe.
¡°Yeah, sure.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. From his tone, it seemed like he was going to ask about something important.
¡°Is Yin Shaojie your boyfriend?¡± he asked gravely.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She had not been expecting him to ask this. Reflecting upon it, she thought that he might have heard of what had happened today. The news that Yin Shaojie announced her as his wife must have already spread around school.
¡°That¡¡± She hesitated. How was she going to exin this? Yin Shaojie was obviously not her boyfriend, but he was her fianc¨¦.
¡°If you don¡¯t want to tell me, you don¡¯t have to. It¡¯s alright,¡± Lu Yichen said considerately.
¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to tell you¡ It¡¯s just that I don¡¯t know how to describe my rtionship with him. It¡¯s a littleplicated.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao scratched her head, her heart caught in a dilemma. Should she tell Lu Yichen her real status and her rtionship with Yin Shaojie?
¡°He¡¯s not really my boyfriend either¡¡± she mumbled.
Even though Yin Shaojie had suggested to her to tell everyone that she was his girlfriend to protect her, she had rejected his idea. However, even though they were, in reality, engaged, they weren¡¯t really dating.
Lu Yichen paused for a while before asking in a deep, resounding voice reminiscent of a cello, ¡°Then let me rephrase: Do you like him? In a romantic way.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. ¡°I¡¡±

Her¡ Liking Yin Shaojie?
Thinking about this, Mu Xiaoxiao made an adorkable [3. a blend word arising from ¡°´ôɵ¡± (dorky) and ¡°¿É°®¡± (adorable)] expression before replying, ¡°Of course not! Our rtionship is not what you think it is.¡±
Yin Shaojie and her? Romantic love?
Impossible!
She liked Yin Shaojie, of course. They were childhood friends and had been very close since they had been kids. He was like family to her and treated her very well. How could she not like him?
She had never thought of having romantic feelings for him.
In a low voice, Lu Yichen suddenly asked, ¡°Xiaoxiao, where are you?¡±
¡°I¡¯m at home. Why?¡± This question was easier to answer than the previous one.
¡°Is it convenient for youe out?¡± he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a while. She still needed to eat, and she should be free after she had eaten. She nodded and said, ¡°It is. What¡¯s up?¡±
¡°I want to see you.¡±
They were four simple words, yet they made Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart pound. It was as though she had head the moan of her lover, and her heart skipped a beat.
As mentioned previously, she was attracted to pleasant voices. Lu Yichen¡¯s voice was maic and sounded very good.
When he said ¡°I want to see you¡± in such a gentle tone, her imagination inevitably ran wild.
Mu Xiaoxiao hit her little skull.
Don¡¯t think too much! Lu Yichen must be finding her for something. It couldn¡¯t be what she was thinking about.
¡°T-that¡¯s¡ Okay.¡± Her cheeks had a dust of pink on them.
¡°Then let¡¯s figure out a time. Is the afternoon okay?¡±
¡°I¡¡± Before Mu Xiaoxiao could agree, she heard knocking on the door.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s mocking voice floated in. ¡°Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re taking so long. What are you doing?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised. Afraid that Yin Shaojie would find out that she was talking to Lu Yichen, she quickly said in a low voice to him, ¡°I¡¯ll contact youter. Bye bye!¡±
It was only after she had hung up that she remembered that she was still on the toilet. Feeling embarrassed, she pulled her shorts up hurriedly and flushed the toilet.
She hid her phone in her pocket before opening the door.
Yin Shaojie had a frivolous smile on his handsome face. Propping up a single arm on the door frame, he looked at her and teased, ¡°I thought you had fallen into the toilet bowl.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him. ¡°You¡¯re the one who fell into the toilet bowl!¡±
Yin Shaojie peeked into the toilet and scrunched up his nose. ¡°What were you doing in there? Are you constipated?¡± he asked.
¡°Of course not!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face and ears turned red from his teasing, and she felt like hitting him. If he hadn¡¯t helped her today, she would have already done so.
Yin Shaojie gave the air a sniff. It really didn¡¯t smell. He took her by the arm and dragged her out.
¡°Hurry up. I want to relieve myself; It¡¯s really urgent.¡± He had drunk a lot of water earlier.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s reflexes were a little slow, and she only moved when he dragged her. She looked dazed. Something fishy was up.
Yin Shaojie cast a devilish ce at her. ¡°Do you want to stay here and observe? I absolutely don¡¯t mind.¡±
¡°Pervert! I don¡¯t want to observe anything!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s senses returned upon being teased by him, and she hurried away.
Yin Shaojie looked at her silhouette in amusement before entering the washroom and closing the door behind him.
Mu Xiaoxiao ran into the living room. ncing at the washroom to make sure that Yin Shaojie had really gone in, she hid in a corner and took out her phone. Opening the list of cklisted numbers, she unblocked Lu Yichen.
She then texted Lu Yichen to exin things.
A swift reply from him came.

Chapter 125: Failing to Protect Her Properly
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Can youe see me in the afternoon? I know that it¡¯s not convenient for you toe to school right now. We can meet outside.
After looking at the contents of the message, she hesitated over how to reply to it. Her food was not here yet, and even after it had arrived and she had finished eating, she still had to get out of the house without Yin Shaojie knowing. The timing seemed a little tight.
Thus, she thought for a while and eventually replied, ¡°How about after school in the afternoon?¡±
It was only a few seconds after she sent that message before Lu Yichen replied, ¡°Sure, see you then.¡± His tone sounded gentle.
Mu Xiaoxiao sent him a smiley and replied, ¡°See you then.¡±
Just as she put her phone down, Yin Shaojie came out of the washroom.
Noticing that he was turning his gaze onto her, Mu Xiaoxiao got a little anxious and subconsciously tried to hide her phone. She felt like she was having an affair with another man behind her husband¡¯s back.
Confused about her feelings and trying to hide her anxiety, Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°My phone¡¯s out of battery. I¡¯m going in to charge it.¡±
She made her way to the bedroom swiftly.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s inky ck eyes studied her, his thoughts indecipherable.
The delivery service was really efficient, arriving in less than 30 minutes.
Yin Shaojie had ordered a lot of food, and they were all her favorites. Mu Xiaoxiao was a foodie and couldn¡¯t resist herself when she saw good food. She stuffed herself full.
After eating, she threw herself on the sofazily and patted her round stomach.
¡°So full¡ hic.¡± She belched a little.
Looking at the time and seeing that it was already afternoon, she told Yin Shaojie, ¡°Jie, I don¡¯t want to go to ss this afternoon anymore. You can go to school yourself and tell the teacher to excuse me. Say that I¡¯m badly injured and want to rest for a few days!¡±
Hehe, she could use this as a convenient excuse to y truant openly for a few days.
Yin Shaojie held an iPad in his hands as he lolled on the other side of the sofa. ¡°Yeah, I don¡¯t want to go either. I¡¯ll keep youpany at home,¡± his sexy voice said.
Actually, even if she had wanted to go to ss, he would have stopped her.
Even though she wasn¡¯t injured badly, she was still hurt and should take a few days off to rest.
Oh yeah, I should give this girl some supplements.
Yin Shaojie surfed the and searched for shops with medicinal cuisine so that he could order some medicinal soup for her for dinner.
He could have called up the cook at the Yin residence to cook some, but if his father and mother knew that Mu Xiaoxiao was hurt, he would have to endure their wrathter and would be med for failing to protect her properly when she was under his care.
¡°Y-you¡¯re not going to go?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao had never thought that he would do this, and she said a little anxiously, ¡°There¡¯s no need to keep mepany at home; it¡¯s fine if I¡¯m alone! Go to ss. You don¡¯t have to stay with me.¡±
Yin Shaojie thought that she was acting weirdly. Studying her suspiciously, he asked, ¡°Why are you chasing me off to ss? Are you doing something¡ Behind my back?¡±
¡°S-since when!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao had a tendency to stammer uncontrobly when she felt guilty.
Yin Shaojie put down the iPad and narrowed his eyes. ¡°Really?¡±
Like a little kid from kindergarten, Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her head vigorously. ¡°Yeah! Really! I just¡ Don¡¯t want you to waste time with me instead of going to ss. Don¡¯t worry about me and go to ss. I can take care of myself!¡± she vowed solemnly, patting her chest.
If he stayed here to supervise her, she would not be able to meet Lu Yichen.

Mu Xiaoxiao jumped down from the sofa. Afraid that Yin Shaojie would continue his interrogation and expose her ns, she hurried over to the study.
¡°I¡¯m so bored. Lend me yourputer to y games.¡±
Come to think of it, she had not touched aputer ever since she came back, and she was suddenly itching to y some games.
¡°Wait!¡± Yin Shaojie dashed forward suddenly and blocked her path. With a severe look on his handsome face, he said, ¡°The study is off-limits except for me. You can¡¯t enter.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted in displeasure. ¡°What do you mean by ¡®off-limits?¡¯ Why can¡¯t I go in? Could it be that¡¡±
She chuckled suggestively. Pointing at him, she asked, ¡°Could it be that you¡¯re hiding pornography in there?¡±
Yin Shaojie grabbed her finger in one swift motion, pushing it back to her, before using his other hand to knock on her skull vigorously.
¡°You perverted wretch! What the heck are you thinking about? Anyway, the study is my territory, so if I restrict you froming in, then you can¡¯te in. Don¡¯t touch anything, especially not myputer, you hear?¡±
He pinched her cheeks zealously as he said this.
¡°Hurts!¡± Frowning, Mu Xiaoxiao pped his hand away. She muttered, ¡°If it¡¯s off-limits, then so be it¡ It¡¯s not like there are any precious things inside anyway. Humph!¡±
Huffing, she turned around, made her way into the bedroom, and mmed the door shut.
Yin Shaojie shook his head as he looked at her before entering the study.
In the bedroom, Mu Xiaoxiaoid her face t against the door and listened to the sounds outside. Hearing the sound of a door shut, she lifted her pretty face, specting if he had finally entered the study.
Should she take a gamble?
Should she rush out while he was not in the living room?
However, if she did so, he would discover that she had gone out and would arouse his suspicions. This was not a good time to escape.
A headache formed as she tried to think of an excuse that would not only allow her to go outside openly but also not make him suspect where she was going.
Mu Xiaoxiao walked over to the French window and studied the splendid sunlight and high-rise buildings outside. She pressed herself to the ss and looked down. It was a 30 storey drop ¡ª a terrifying height.
She wouldn¡¯t dare to scale down the building even if she was wearing a harness.
¡°Ay, what should I do¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao threw herself onto the bed,ying on it with her arms and legs spread wide open.
It was easy to be sleepy after eating.
Laying there, she descended into sleep¡
When Mu Xiaoxiao finally woke up, it was already past three in the afternoon. She gave her neck a stretch. Her head felt heavy from sleeping too much.
Crawling out of the bed, she shuffled to the living room in her slippers and grabbed a lime-vored Mizone from the fridge. A cooling sensation swept through her body after drinking a few mouthfuls of the beverage, and her spirits gradually lifted.
The room was really quiet. Sunlight streamed through the windows, looking radiant and enchanting.
She swept her gaze across the room and heard no hint of sound. Was Yin Shaojie sleeping inside? Or was he ying games?
If she ran out for an hour now beforeing back, would he discover it?
She made sure she had brought her phone before she snuck discreetly, like a cat, towards the front door. Silently, she put her shoes on and closed the door carefully. Her actions looked as though it had been done in slow-motion.
Hooray! ~(¨R¨Œ¨Q)/~
She had snuck out sessfully!
Without any hesitation, she shot off a quick text to Lu Yichen to tell him that she was out.
She then hurried into the lift. Once she was at the ground floor, she ran out and waved for a taxi.
¡°Driver, to Shangde High! Hurry!¡±
What she didn¡¯t know was that just as she had left the condominium, the door to the study opened, and out came Yin Shaojie.
Chapter 127 - Theres You to Keep Me Company
127 There¡¯s You to Keep Me Company
Trantor: AsStudios | Editor: AsStudios /As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao walked into Blue Caf¨¦. This was where she had agreed to meet Lu Yichen.
This ce was not very far from Shangde High, and it was separated from the bustling street by a road. Usually, the students from Shangde took a stroll or shopped here after school.
The fragrance of coffee could be smelt as Mu Xiaoxiao entered the shop. While trying to look for Lu Yichen, she spotted him waving to her.
Smiling, she walked over and sat down. ¡°Did you wait long?¡±
Lu Yichen passed her the menu gentlemanly. ¡°No, I didn¡¯t. Choose what you want to drink from here. This restaurant is quite popr, so the drinks should taste good.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was neither partial nor impartial to coffee, but she liked to drink things like milk tea or kumquat lemon juice.
¡°It¡¯s just nice that I¡¯m thirsty¡¡± She flipped the menu open. Seeing the price, her words stopped, and she lifted her head and cast an involuntary look at Lu Yichen. Using the menu to cover her face, she leaned forward and whispered, ¡°This shop is expensive!¡±
A beverage cost almost 100 yuan. Even though she had had even more expensive drinks before, the first thing she thought of was Lu Yichen¡¯s financial situation.
The corner of Lu Yichen¡¯s lips twitched a smile. ¡°It¡¯s alright; just order what you want. I can afford this,¡± he said nonchntly.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows and shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t want to; it¡¯s too expensive. This is practically daylight robbery!¡± she said.
No wonder he had said that this caf¨¦ was popr with the students. Shangde High was a school for the elite, and most of the students were rich scions who would of course purchase things at such a price without a second thought.
Just then, the waiter brought their tes over.
¡°Enjoy your meal.¡± The waiter smiled warmly, his fresh and dapper appearance putting people at ease.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the food. Unexpectedly, it was two strawberry cakes, and she couldn¡¯t help but look at Lu Yichen in shock. ¡°Did you order these?¡±
Lu Yichen nodded, his pupils sparkling like stars. Smiling, he said, ¡°Yeah, I heard from people who eat the desserts here that they tasted good, and it just happened that you¡¯re here to try some with me.¡±
After the waiter left, Mu Xiaoxiao flipped through the menu hurriedly to find the price of the cakes.
Seeing her like that made Lu Yichen not know if he shouldugh or cry. ¡°Stop searching and just order a drink.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao flipped the pages noisily, and she finally found the price of the strawberry cake at the back. Instantly, her eyes widened. ¡°My god! More than a hundred yuan! This is really daylight robbery!¡±
Her voice was a little loud, and it attracted the stares of customers nearby.
Lu Yichen coughed awkwardly, reminding her of their surroundings.
Even though he didn¡¯t mind her making such a fuss, which was kind of cute, it was highly likely that there were other students around. She had already been involved in such a big incident today, and because a lot of attention was on her, it was better for her to keep a low-profile.
Mu Xiaoxiao noticed this as well. Her face flushed slightly, and she quickly pulled up the cor of her sun-proof outerwear to cover her face.
She had purchased the outerwear on the way here so that she could hide in it.
cing the menu aside, Mu Xiaoxiao held up the lemon water the waiter had just delivered. ¡°I¡¯ll just drink this. I¡¯m not going to order anything else.¡±
Seeing her like this, Lu Yichen did not press her.
Mu Xiaoxiao drank a mouth of water. Her head was upied with thinking that she must hurry home, lest Yin Shaojie discover that she had snuck out.
¡°Lu Yichen, what did you want to tell me?¡± she asked hurriedly. It was a race against time, as she wanted to rush home after their talk.
Lu Yichen¡¯s brown eyes gazed at her. ¡°Actually, you can call me Yichen.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao froze a little. Call him Yichen? It felt so intimate¡
Chapter 128
128 Your Rtionship With Him
Trantor: AsStudios | Editor: AsStudios /As Studios
Lu Yichen rubbed his brows a little. He seemed a little sad as he said, ¡°I¡¯ve already thought of you as a friend. Could it be that you haven¡¯t?¡±
¡°Of course not! No, of course!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao realized that she had spoken incorrectly and quickly corrected herself. Afraid that he would misunderstand, she even nodded her head vigorously, resembling a little chick pecking at grains.
How could she not think of him as a friend when she had been wanting to be friends with him since the start? It was just that she had never thought that things would progress so quickly.
Originally, she had thought that he was a person who didn¡¯t let others into his heart easily and that she would have to hang out with him for a long time before he would consider her a friend.
Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao was over the moon when she heard him say this.
Lu Yichen seemed satisfied with this answer. His gaze held a smile as he looked at her. Pushing the strawberry cake in front of her, he said, ¡°Then call me Yichen from now on, okay? Hurry up and eat the cake.¡±
¡°Okay, Yichen!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes resembled crescents as she smiled. Thinking about it, it seemed like he also called her Xiaoxiao, and she felt that it would be weird if he had called her Mu Xiaoxiao.
The taste of fresh strawberries melted to the tip of her tongue as she tasted a piece of the cake. Her eyes sparkled.
¡°This is really good!¡± No wonder this shop was so expensive; it was worth the money.
Mu Xiaoxiao pushed the other piece of cake towards him and urged, ¡°Taste some too. The taste is really good, and it doesn¡¯t feel like something people will get tired of no matter how much they eat. I feel like eating another one.¡±
¡°Want to order another?¡± He gave a little smile as he took up his fork and ate a bite. The deliciousness made his eyes light up, and he nodded at her in agreement.
He couldn¡¯t help but think that this was the best-tasting cake in the entire world as he studied the look of satisfaction on her face.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head quickly. ¡°No! One piece is enough.¡±
If she really kept eating the cake just because she could never get tired of it, wouldn¡¯t he go bankrupt?
Mu Xiaoxiao finished the entire cake in under a minute. ying with the leftover cream, she looked at him and asked, ¡°Oh yeah, why are you looking for me so urgently? Is it something important?¡±
Hearing this, Lu Yichen put down his fork slowly and studied her. His beautiful voice said unhurriedly, ¡°At first, I had been a little worried about your injury, but seeing that you¡¯re so lively, you should really be fine.¡±
From what he had heard, she had been surrounded by a bunch of girls, had injured her hand, and had bled a lot. Someone had even exaggerated and said that she had suffered internal injuries from being kicked and had vomited a lot of blood.
Even though she had said on the phone that she was fine, he still wanted to confirm it with his own eyes.
¡°It¡¯s just this?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She had thought that he had something more important and had mentally prepared herself for it. She had never guessed that the truth would be so different from her imagination.
¡°No, there¡¯s something else that I want to ask you.¡± Lu Yichen noticed her seemingly disappointed expression and couldn¡¯t help but smile.
Her expressions were always so vivid, as though all her emotions were simply written on her face.
Lu Yichen stared into her eyes steadily and asked seriously, ¡°You and Yin Shaojie¡ What¡¯s your rtionship?¡±
¡°Uh¡ About that¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao scratched her head. ¡°How do I say this, I¡¯m his¡¡±
Lu Yichen smiled lightly and spoke his guess. ¡°You¡¯ve known him for a long time, haven¡¯t you? You¡¯ve already been acquainted before you transferred to Shangde and you¡¯re very familiar with each other. Am I right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had never thought that he would put it out so straightforwardly. Mu Xiaoxiao was a little confused. Did she not have to continue hiding the truth then?
Just then, a loud voice shouted from outside, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao!¡±
Chapter 129
129 Why Are You Here?
Trantor: AsStudios | Editor: AsStudios /As Studios
That voice was really familiar, and Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s body froze uncontrobly when she heard it. Unconsciously, she thought that Yin Shaojie hade and caught her red-handed! Worse still, he would see that she was hanging out with Lu Yichen, whom he had beef with!
Sh*t oh sh*t! She was dead meat!
She turned around in a daze, but before she could see who had shouted her name, she saw a person¡¯s silhouette lunge forward and hug her neck.
¡°Xiaoxiao! Xiaoxiao! It¡¯s really you! I thought I had been mistaken! Haha, luckily, I called you; if not, I would have missed you.¡±
The person hugging her did so gently and even had a hint of a nice fragrance. It was the scent of a girl, not a boy.
After analyzing the voice, Mu Xiaoxiao then lifted her head in surprise and looked at the girl in front of her.
¡°Little Qing? Why are you here?¡±
Han Qiqing waggled her brows and stared at her. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t I be the one to ask you this? Why are you here? When did you get back?¡± she asked.
¡°That¡ I¡¯ve been back for a few days now.¡±
Han Qiqing released her, and with one hand on her hip, she said with displeasure, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me that you had arrived? How long are you going to stay this time? When are you going back to America?¡±
¡°This¡ I¡¯ve transferred to Shangde to study and will be sticking around for the short-term,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao answered simply. She should be returning to America once her engagement with Yin Shaojie was dissolved.
¡°Really? You aren¡¯t lying to me, right? Did you really transfer to Shangde?¡± Han Qiqing pulled on her hand excitedly, her eyes wide with surprise. However, she was scared that Mu Xiaoxiao was lying to her.
¡°Of course it¡¯s true!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she said.
¡°That¡¯s great! This is awesome! We can hang out together a lot in the future!¡± Han Qiqing was overjoyed. If they were in a more suitable environment, she might have even pulled Mu Xiaoxiao up and danced in circles.
¡°Oh yeah, where have you been? I¡¯vee to school for a while already but haven¡¯t seen you around,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao retorted.
Of course, she knew that Han Qiqing was studying at Shangde as well. She had originally wanted to look for her, but with so many things happening after she came back, she had had no time to do so.
Han Qiqing smiled sheepishly. ¡°My mummy went to Paris to open a fashion show, and I tagged along to y.¡±
¡°I¡¯m so jealous¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiaomented. Han Qiqing¡¯s mom was a famous fashion designer and had to travel overseas constantly due to the nature of her job, while Han Qiqing would tag along asionally for fun.
¡°Eh, then does Yin Shaojie know that you¡¯re back?¡± Han Qiqing asked suddenly. The Hans and the Yins were also long-time family friends but didn¡¯t have as close a rtionship as Mu Xiaoxiao had with Yin Shaojie.
¡°He knows.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao only remembered Lu Yichen¡¯s presence when Han Qiqing mentioned this. She looked at him a little awkwardly but discovered a hint of a smile on his face as though he wasn¡¯t surprised at all.
Han Qiqing then realized the presence of another person. She was too ted at seeing Mu Xiaoxiao and missed the presence of the boy opposite her.
She froze momentarily when she finally saw the person¡¯s appearance. Her eyes widened as she cried out in surprise, ¡°L-Lu Yichen? Why are you¡ Sitting with Xiaoxiao?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was not surprised that she would be acquainted with Lu Yichen, for he could be considered a prominent personality at Shangde.
However, why did she feel that Qiqing looked a little weird?
Oh yeah! Her face looked a little redder than before.
Han Qiqing sat down suddenly and forced Mu Xiaoxiao to the side, studying Lu Yichen with the shyness and delight of a young maiden.
Chapter 130
130 Looks Like My Guess Was Right
Trantor: AsStudios | Editor: AsStudios /As Studios
¡°How do you know Xiaoxiao?¡± she asked. Her gaze was fixated on Lu Yichen as though it wouldn¡¯t budge.
Even Mu Xiaoxiao, who was usually dense, could feel the heat in her gaze.
However, she was inevitably curious. Did Han Qiqing like Lu Yichen?
She tugged at Han Qiqing and lowered her head. Leaning into her ear, she said, ¡°Can you exercise some restraint with that gaze? You¡¯re being too obvious!¡±
¡°Xiaoxiao, hurry up and tell me! What¡¯s up with you and Lu Yichen? Why are you sitting together and drinking? Could it be that¡ You¡¯re on a date?¡±
Han Qiqing suddenly thought of this possibility and looked at Mu Xiaoxiao brokenheartedly.
¡°Of course not! Don¡¯t spout nonsense.¡± Feeling that the atmosphere was a little awkward, she hurried said, ¡°Little Qing, you should go first; I¡¯ll exin next time. Stop causing trouble here.¡±
Han Qiqing was unwillingly pushed to a standing position by her. She pouted and said, ¡°Alright then¡ I¡¯ll be going first. I¡¯ll call you at night.¡±
¡°Yeah, bye bye!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao waved to her with a sweet smile on her face.
She only let out a sigh of relief when Han Qiqing left.
¡°Sorry about that¡¡± She gave Lu Yichen an apologetic look.
Lu Yichen shook his head and smiled. ¡°It¡¯s okay. It seems like my guess was right.¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was a little confused. Han Qiqing¡¯s sudden appearance had muddled her brain, and she couldn¡¯t follow what he was saying.
¡°You and Yin Shaojie have been friends for very long, right? Childhood friends?¡± he said faintly while looking into her eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little stunned and thought that since he had already guessed it, there wasn¡¯t anything to hide anymore. ¡°Yeah!¡± She nodded.
¡°As expected. I guessed it a long time ago,¡± Lu Yichen said mildly, his voice a little heavy. His eyes looked like it held some sort of emotion, which Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t read.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt that the atmosphere was weird and was suddenly at a loss for words.
She then remembered that Yin Shaojie had mentioned that they had beef. What was that conflict about?
Would Lu Yichen see her differently now that he knew that she was on good terms with Yin Shaojie?
Lu Yichen studied her before saying suddenly, ¡°When you were crying outside the principal¡¯s office that time, was it because you had fought with Yin Shaojie? Was it over the rehiring of the security guard?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised by his urate guess, but she still nodded. ¡°Yeah.¡±
¡°Last question.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head and looked into his eyes. His gaze felt unfathomable, and it was as though it could see through her.
¡°What¡¯s the question?¡± she asked.
Lu Yichen said, ¡°You aren¡¯t dating, are you? Did he say those words because he wanted to stand up for you?¡±
Those words?
He should be referring to Yin Shaojie announcing that she was his wife.
Feeling that there was nothing wrong with his sentence, Mu Xiaoxiao continued to nod her head. ¡°Yeah, that is what happened.¡±
There was probably no need to tell him about her engagement with Yin Shaojie, right? No one would know about it anyway, and they didn¡¯t have to announce it publicly. The marriage might even be dissolved after a while.
Lu Yichen¡¯s eyes smiled. ¡°Okay, I¡¯m done with my interrogation.¡±
He seemed to know what she was thinking and reassured her, ¡°Rx; I won¡¯t drop you as a friend because of your rtionship with him. We¡¯re still friends.¡±
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao then smiled again. ¡°I knew you wouldn¡¯t.¡±
Unlike that jerk, Yin Shaojie, who was so narrow-minded!
¡°Achoo!¡± At home, Yin Shaojie sneezed.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the time and grimaced. Looking anxious, she said to Lu Yichen, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I have to go.¡±
She had been out for almost an hour. If she did not return soon, Yin Shaojie might realize that she had slipped away.
¡°Okay.¡± Lu Yichen nodded and asked the waiter for the bill.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt awkward. ¡°Why not¡ Let¡¯s go Dutch.¡±
Lu Yichen gave the money to the waiter, and heughed and said to her, ¡°It¡¯s fine. How about this? I¡¯ll treat you time, and you¡¯ll treat me next time, alright?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded without hesitation. ¡°Okay!¡±
Then, she thought. Next time, I¡¯ll treat him something good and definitely more expensive.
Lu Yichen suddenly thought of something. He looked at her and asked, ¡°How about treating me to a movie? There¡¯s a film from America screening this weekend. It¡¯s something I¡¯ve always wanted to watch. I don¡¯t know if you would be interested.¡±
¡°That movie? I like it too! Okay then, I¡¯ll treat you to the movie!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao hastily replied. Then, she suddenly paused, and she recalled that he had a girlfriend.
She looked at him hesitantly. ¡°Uh¡ Wouldn¡¯t it be inappropriate for the two of us to go watch a movie together?¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong with that?¡± Lu Yichen asked her, seeming puzzled.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed bitterly as she looked at him. ¡°Don¡¯t you have a girlfriend? If she knew, she would be mad. Why not do this instead? I¡¯ll treat you, and you take your girlfriend to the movie. Would that be good?¡±
Lu Yichen paused for a moment, and he suddenly smiled.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t understand what his expression meant. Was he smiling in agreement or disagreement?
However, she was resolute. If he had a girlfriend, she definitely wouldn¡¯t apany him to the movies alone. She had to avoid arousing suspicion.
Suddenly, Lu Yichen met her gaze and said unexpectedly, ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t have a girlfriend.¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was dazed.
Lu Yichen had a faint smile. ¡°I said that I have no girlfriend, so you can still take me to the movie.¡±
¡°But¡ No¡ Your¡ You don¡¯t have a girlfriend? That can¡¯t be! Don¡¯t you have a girlfriend?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao could notprehend what he had said.
If she had heard from just a single person, it could very well be false. But not only Yu Zhe, Yin Shaojie had also said that he had a girlfriend!
She did not have to believe Yu Zhe.
But even if Yin Shaojie might be bossy and petty sometimes, she still believed his words.
Lu Yichen touched his nose looking slightly embarrassed as he said, ¡°I lied about having a girlfriend.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. Who would have thought!
She immediately thought about something rted and cried in surprise, ¡°Could it be¡ that you used it as an excuse to reject the girls who confess to you? Then as time passed, everyone began to think that you really had a girlfriend?¡±
No wonder!
They said that his girlfriend was mysterious and that no one had ever seen her or knew which school she went to.
As it turns out, his girlfriend never existed!
Lu Yichen signaled her to keep quiet. His handsome face looked serious, and he said, ¡°No one else knows about this. You have to keep it a secret, alright?¡±
¡°Uh, okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded with a nk expression as she had yet to recover from the sudden revtion.
Lu Yichen looked at her odd expression, and he narrowed his eyes and asked, ¡°You look like you are¡ disappointed?¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened, and she immediately shook her head. ¡°No, I¡¯m not! You¡¯re mistaken.¡±
Sigh. She was a little disappointed because she had initially thought that the matter about his girlfriend was very mysterious, and it had piqued her curiosity. She had wanted to find out the.
She was disappointed because she couldn¡¯t feel the joy of investigating anymore.
¡°Then we¡¯ll agree on watching the movie this Saturday?¡± Lu Yichen stopped probing into the matter. Sometimes, her feelings would show clearly in her expression. With one nce at her, he understood and didn¡¯t feel the need to continue questioning her.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t think that there was any problem with the n, and she nodded her head, saying, ¡°Uh-huh, okay! So, I¡¯ll see you then. I really have to go now.¡±
As he watched her small figure running out frantically, Lu Yichen smiled.
¡
Back at the apartment.
Mu Xiaoxiao stealthily opened the door and carefully closed it behind her. Bending her waist at the entrance, she was very lightly taking off her slippers.
Suddenly, a shadow was cast on her petite figure. An icy voice came from above her, ¡°Where did you go?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was motionless. She slowly raised her head and met Yin Shaojie¡¯s stern expression. She hollowlyughed and asked, ¡°When did you realize I was gone?¡±
¡°Half an hour ago.¡± Yin Shaojie stared at her with his eagle-like eyes as if he was watching his prey.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly brought out a bag from behind her, and she smiled. ¡°It just happened to be teatime when I woke up, so I went downstairs to buy something myself.¡±
Yin Shaojie was not that easily fooled. He smiled and looked at her doubtfully. ¡°And you went out for half an hour? Which store did you buy it from?¡±
Seeing the store¡¯s name on the stic bag, he confirmed that it was a store from nearby.
In truth, it wasn¡¯t that Mu Xiaoxiao was shrewd. She happened to pass by the store as she was returning and caught a whiff of the fragrance. She started craving it, so she bought some food. Little did she know that it would serve as a good excuse.
¡°Uh¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes darted around. ¡°Yeah! I met a Samoyed, and it was too cute! I had to y with it for a while. After that, I went to buy the food.¡±
Wow, this story is wless. She was impressed by herself.
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes. ¡°Samoyed? I have stayed here for a long time, and I haven¡¯t seen any before. How old was it? What¡¯s its name? Is the owner a man or a woman?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
How would she know all this!
She hadn¡¯t really met a Samoyed!
She was frantic for a few seconds. Suddenly, she regainedposure and stared at him as she said, ¡°What¡¯s the meaning of this! You don¡¯t trust me? Hmph! Shame on me for treating you well and buying your favorites. Now you won¡¯t have any of it!¡±
She feigned a fit of rage and was about to pass by him to enter the apartment.
Yin Shaojie grabbed her hand, and he looked at her helplessly, ¡°Okay. Why are you so angry? I didn¡¯t say that I don¡¯t trust you. I was just curious. You have injuries, yet you still went out. You should have at least told me.¡±
He pulled her as they walked to the sofa. He took the bag from her hands and ced it on the coffee table.
Mu Xiaoxiao was already feeling guilty, and she didn¡¯t continue the act lest she exaggerated it and raised his suspicions.
Just as the two were eating, her phone suddenly rang.

Mu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment as she wondered if it might be Lu Yichen who had called. She instinctively nced at Yin Shaojie, and he looked back at her coincidentally. His gaze was so deep it was terrifying, and it was as if he had seen through her.
¡°Your phone is ringing. Aren¡¯t you going to answer?¡± he reminded as he stared at her, putting her on edge.
Mu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to force herself to answer the phone.
Upon seeing the Caller ID, it turned out that the caller wasn¡¯t Lu Yichen but Han Qiqing!
She let out a breath of relief. Smiling as she boldly showed the screen to him, she said, ¡°It¡¯s Little Qing calling.¡±
¡°Oh? Why would she be calling you so suddenly?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. If he knew that she had met with Han Qiqing just now, then he would find out about her lie!
She stammered nervously, ¡°Uh, I-I don¡¯t know¡ Let me answer the call first.¡±
She was afraid that Han Qiqing would expose her, so she left the sofa and walked towards the fridge while pretending to get water.
¡°Yeah.¡±
Han Qiqing voice sounded like a machine gun as she said, ¡°Xiaoxiao! What exactly is going on between you and Lu Yichen? When did you first meet him? Why would he be having a meal at the coffee shop with you? Do you like him? Boohoo. Don¡¯t tell me! Don¡¯t tell me! I don¡¯t want to know! Boohoo!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pulled the phone away from her ear for a short while and then put it back.
¡°You¡ calm down. Can you lower your voice? I almost went deaf.¡±
¡°You¡¯re going deaf, but my heart¡¯s breaking! Xiaoxiao, do you know how long I¡¯ve liked him? How could you¡ snatch my prize! Boohoo, I feel like dying now! Xiaoxiao, we¡¯ve been such good friends. How could you steal my love¡ Boohoo¡¡±
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao was betweenughing and crying.
However, that confirmed her earlier suspicion that she was indeed fond of Lu Yichen.
¡°I¡¯m not! Oh yeah¡¡± She nced at Yin Shaojie out of the corner of her eyes. While he wasn¡¯t watching her, she slipped into the bedroom and closed the door.
Though she knew the room had good soundproofing, she still warned Han Qiqing in a soft voice, ¡°You have to keep our meeting today a secret. Don¡¯t tell anyone, especially Yin Shaojie. You can¡¯t let him know!¡±
¡°Why?¡± Han Qiqing did not understand.
¡°Aiya, I¡¯ll exin next time! Just remember what I said. Don¡¯t let him know. Got it?¡±
¡°Oh, I got it. So you and Lu Yichen¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly rified, ¡°I¡¯m only friends with him! If you like him, stop worrying and go pursue him. Okay?
Han Qiqing sighed and said dejectedly, ¡°I did pursue him! But I couldn¡¯t reach him¡ He didn¡¯t pay me any attention.¡±
So when she saw Lu Yichen eating out with Mu Xiaoxiao, she had been very surprised.
She had admired Lu Yichen for a long time, but she had never seen any girl spending time with him alone.
¡°Oh¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao recalled when she first met Lu Yichen that he had been grave and stern, and he was blunt when he rejected girls. She could imagine that Han Qiqing¡¯s pursuit for his love had been an arduous one.
Han Qiqing sighed. ¡°Sigh, I know he has a girlfriend. So for now, I can only watch him from afar.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She felt a great urge to tell Little Qing. Lu Yichen doesn¡¯t actually have a girlfriend!
But she had promised Lu Yichen to keep the secret. She couldn¡¯t say it, not even to her good friend.

Just as Mu Xiaoxiao entered school today, she noticed something odd with the atmosphere. Ever since she entered through the entrance, people had been wagging their tongues as they lowered their heads and stared at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt very uneasy as if she was a monkey in an exhibit.
Passing by the noticeboard, she saw Yu Zhe running towards her, looking serious. He then grabbed her and said frantically, ¡°Xiaoxiao! Come see this quickly. What is the matter with this?¡±
¡°What?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked confused as she followed him.
The crowd before the noticeboard saw that she was here, and they opened a path for her.
Mu Xiaoxiao had an ill premonition, and she walked over to take a look. There was a photo on the noticeboard. It was a photo of Lu Yichen and her having augh in Blue Caf¨¦. The photo was even taken very beautifully. One would only think of adultery upon looking at the photo.
She was stunned. ¡°Who put this up?¡±
Yu Zhe shook his head and brought out his phone. ¡°I don¡¯t know. Take a look. It¡¯s even on the web forum. People have also shared it across every ss¡¯s group chats. The situation is bad. They¡¯re all spreading a rumor about you¡¡±
He didn¡¯t dare to continue speaking. Seeing his look of hesitation, she knew it wasn¡¯t anything good.
¡°How did it turn out like this? Who¡¯s the culprit!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was about to blow her top. She only had an innocent meeting with Lu Yichen. How could it turn out like this?
The crowd was pointing fingers at her. It was as if they were poking her brain, giving her a huge headache.
Yu Zhe frowned and said, ¡°I suspect it was Han Xue¡¯er. She¡¯s the greatest suspect. The school already expelled her because of what happened to you. Given her personality, she would definitely hold a grudge and take revenge against you!¡±
¡°She¡¯s expelled?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao hadn¡¯t thought about that. Having heard what Yu Zhe had said, she thought that that would indeed be the most usible cause.
Yu Zhe said, ¡°Yeah. You should know that expulsion from Shangde is extremely severe. Studying in Shangde is a symbol of status. If she was expelled, her reputation among the rich and powerful families will be ruined! Moreover, given Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s huge ego, she won¡¯t stand for such humiliation.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao could only feel a throbbing pain in her temples. She wasn¡¯t worried about Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s revenge, but¡
¡°Xiaoxiao, what¡¯s happening?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s attractive voice suddenly came from behind.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stiff and motionless. She didn¡¯t dare to turn around and look back at him.
Before Yin Shaojie could see the photo on the noticeboard, someone from the crowd reported, ¡°Young Master Jie! You¡¯ve been made a cuckold! Mu Xiaoxiao and Lu Yichen are together. A woman like her is notpatible with you! Break up with her!¡±
¡°Yeah! A fickle girl like her is not deserving of Young Master Jie. It would be too easy on her if you only broke up with her. Expel her from the school!¡±
¡°Yeah! Get her out of the school! Expel this slut!¡±
The ones denouncing Mu Xiaoxiao in the crowd were mostly girls.
¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Yin Shaojie frowned as he looked at her. He looked up and saw the photo on the noticeboard, and his expression instantly turned cold.
He turned his cold gaze towards Mu Xiaoxiao, and he asked again, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±
The same words were spoken, but his tone and the meaning implied was different.
¡°When was this photo taken?¡± he asked rationally, looking at the photo again at the bottom right hand corner where the date was printed.
This time. Isn¡¯t it¡

¡°Mu Xiaoxiao! You lied to me!¡± Yin Shaojie said in a chilly voice as he stared at Mu Xiaoxiao in anger.
¡°Jie, hear me out. It wasn¡¯t intentional. I¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao panicked. She didn¡¯t know how she could exin herself. The evidence was there. Whatever she said would be a lie.
Yin Shaojie quickly walked up to the noticeboard and tore down the photo. He shredded the photo into pieces, turned around, and threw them onto Mu Xiaoxiao.
He didn¡¯t say a word as he red at Mu Xiaoxiao, his chest rising and falling as if he was containing his rage.
For the first time, Mu Xiaoxiao experienced first hand what it meant to say ¡°the truth alwayses out. There is no concealing the truth.¡± She had just never imagined that this would be how she would be exposed.
Someone wanted to harm her and incite a fight between her and Yin Shaojie.
They seeded.
Yin Shaojie scoffed, ¡°Tell me. I want to see what kind of excuses you cane up with this time to fool me. Why aren¡¯t you speaking? Tell me!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was started by his strict, loud voice, and she winced, her face in a grimace as if she was about to cry.
Yin Shaojie raised his head with his fists clenched tightly, and he suddenly kicked the rubbish bin at the side to the ground.
¡°No crying!¡± You¡¯re hoping that I will go soft on you? Mu Xiaoxiao, I am realizing, for the first time, that you are really cunning. If you don¡¯t want to exin, then don¡¯t ever speak about it!¡±
With that said, he kept an impassive face as he turned around and left.
¡°Yin Shaojie!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao frantically called him as she chased up to him, hoping to exin and apologize. However, Yu Zhe held her back.
Yu Zhe said worryingly, ¡°Xiaoxiao, don¡¯t go! Things can only go wrong if you go to him now when Young Master Jie is so infuriated. Let him calm down and exin it to himter.¡±
¡°But¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was anxious, and tears were seeping through the corner of her eyes.
¡°It¡¯s useless if you go to him now. Young Master Jie won¡¯t be able to hear what you have to say. What¡¯s more, the evidence wasid bare. How are you going to exin that to him?¡±
¡°I¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was at a loss. How should she exin it to Yin Shaojie?
The concern was no longer about her rtionship with Lu Yichen but that she had lied to Yin Shaojie.
She wondered. Was he angry because of this?
However, she still couldn¡¯t understand why he was so angry over just a little lie.
Mu Xiaoxiao even felt a bit wronged. She could have apologized, and he didn¡¯t have to be so angry as if she had really made him a cuckold.
At this moment, the bell rang, and Yu Zhe said, ¡°Okay, let¡¯s get back to ss first. Then, you can look for Young Master Jie again after school to exin yourself.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was very confused and couldn¡¯t think of any solutions. Thus, she just went along with Yu Zhe¡¯s advice.
However, she was still lost in thought during the lesson.
The English teacher suddenly called her up to read a paragraph of the text. She wasn¡¯t even paying attention and confused her lines.
¡°What are you reading? What a mess! Mu Xiaoxiao, don¡¯t get conceited just because you studied in America. You have much more to learn. Sit down and pay attention, okay?¡±
English teacher was mocking her slightly. He was delighted as he had finally gotten his revenge on her.
In the past, Mu Xiaoxiao would not have stood for such humiliation.
But now, she could only think about how she was going to exin herself to Yin Shaojie, and she didn¡¯t even realize how the English teacher was treating her.

Chapter 136: Sticking Up For Her
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Thud, thud. The English teacher knocked his pointing stick on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s table, his face showing delight. He then raised his head and said to everyone, ¡°You should not be like Mu Xiaoxiao, thinking that you don¡¯t have to learn English just because you can speak it well. After all, conversations and examinations are not¡¡±
Before he could finish speaking, as he was walking up to the podium, a leg suddenly extended below. As he lifted his head in delight, he didn¡¯t see the leg and tripped over it.
He stumbled and nearly fell, but he clung onto the two tables beside him in an embarrassing posture and finally steadied himself.
Some of the students muffled theirughter.
The English teacher looked grim. After he stood steadily, he turned to look at Yu Zhe and said, ¡°You¡ª¡±
Yu Zhe looked all innocent as he shrugged his shoulders and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, teacher. I didn¡¯t mean it.¡±
In fact, he did mean it. His mouth revealed a faint smile that was too obvious, and his manner of apologizing was too insincere.
With that said, Yu Zhe nced at Mu Xiaoxiao with a smile as if he was taking credit for helping her.
The English teacher was red in the face. However, he couldn¡¯t do anything to Yu Zhe, and he had no choice but to swallow his anger.
¡°Be careful next time. Don¡¯t put out your legs. It¡¯s okay if I fall, but what if other students fell?¡±
Having exined in a calm and collected manner, he stood erect and disyed a confident posture.
He nced down and saw that Yu Zhe¡¯s leg was still extended, and he decided to cross over. However, Yu Zhe suddenly retracted his leg. Seeing that, the English teacher also instinctively withdrew his attempt to cross over.
In a turn of events, the English teacher posture was unstable, and he lost bnce and fell to the ground.
¡°Ha ha ha ha¡¡± the students couldn¡¯t help butugh out loud as the sight was simply tooical.
However, eachugh felt like a p to his face.
The English teacher looked grim.
Yu Zhe click his tongue and said, sounding concerned, ¡°Teacher, why don¡¯t you be more careful? I have already retracted my leg, yet you fell again. You won¡¯t me me, will you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly as she finally realized that Yu Zhe was sticking up for her.
The English teacher was practically crawling to his feet. The students¡¯ughter had left himpletely humiliated. Without waiting for his dismissal, the students left on their own.
Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or cry. She was only in a daze for a while, and trouble had already urred.
In contrast, Yu Zhe was feeling joyful. He turned his head to her and ced his hands ovepped on her table, looking as if he was seeking praise from her. ¡°How was it? I avenged you. How do you intend to thank me? Treat me to lunch?¡±
¡°Actually, I wasn¡¯t offended earlier¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled grudgingly. The English teacher thought that he had made her sullen, but she wasn¡¯t paying attention and hadn¡¯t even put the matter to heart.
Yu Zhe humphed and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you see his face? Damn, just looking at that puts me in a bad mood! He was deliberately causing you trouble and even secretly enjoying it. That¡¯s disgusting!¡±
¡°Okay okay. What¡¯s done is done. Don¡¯t go overboard next time.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to reprimand him as he had just stuck up for her after all.
The next lesson was physical education ss.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat at the steps at the side, still hesitating about whether to find Yin Shaojie to apologize despite Yu Zhe¡¯s advice to find him after he had some time to calm down.
However, she still thought that it was best to approach him immediately to apologize and exin herself.

Suddenly, a shadow flew toward her.
Bang!
She was hit in the forehead.
A ball bounced on the floor and rolled to one side.
¡°Ouch!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao cried out in pain, nearly falling back from the force she had received.
¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡± A girl ran to her and gave her a casual apology before picking up the volleyball and returning to the court.
Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her forehead, feeling as if her head was swaying.
How could she be so unfortunate? She had been hit by a ball while spacing out.
Since physical education lesson is just sitting around and wasting time, why not go to Year Two¡¯s ss S to secretly check on Yin Shaojie?
Just as she made her decision, another shadow suddenly flew toward her again and hit her on the head. She could already feel her head spinning before, and now, she felt even dizzier.
Her vision went dark, and Mu Xiaoxiao quickly held on to something beside her.
¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± the same girl ran toward her again and said in a nonchnt voice.
The first time could be an ident, but the second time definitely wasn¡¯t. It was obvious to Mu Xiaoxiao that it was intentional.
Before she could get angry, Yu Zhe ran to her and said angrily to the girl, ¡°You did that on purpose, didn¡¯t you!¡±
He looked down at Mu Xiaoxiao with concern and said, ¡°Xiaoxiao, are you alright?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao closed her eyes, her face in a grimace, seemingly in great difort.
Yu Zhe saw the volleyball and knew that her head had to hurt. Thus, he red fiercely at the girl.
The few girls who were ying volleyball crowded around them, their faces acting apologetic.
¡°Sorry. We really didn¡¯t mean it. No one told her to be sitting beside the court like a dummy. She didn¡¯t even try to dodge when the ball flew to her.¡±
Yu Zheughed grimly and said, ¡°Dodge? Why don¡¯t you show me how you dodge!¡±
The speed of the volleyball was too fast, and Mu Xiaoxiao had still been in a daze. How could she have dodged it? Even in a normal situation, it would have been hard to react quickly.
The onlooking girls started whispering.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao is really something. She has so many guys protecting her. Who knows how many people she has fooled around with. No wonder they say she is a fickle woman.¡±
¡°From the looks of it, I¡¯m guessing she must know some seduction techniques. Otherwise, how could she have charmed both Young Master Jie and Lu Yichen? It is really a wonder what they see in her. Perhaps she is really flirtatious?¡±
¡°Ha ha, it must be! Just look at her bosom. It¡¯s so well developed. One can imagine how flirtatious she can be. How can we evenpare?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Guys like big breasts.¡±
Theirments grew more unpleasant as they continued. They even said that she had been ridden by lots of men. Mu Xiaoxiao was already feeling dizzy, but she felt more ufortable hearing all these and couldn¡¯t help but retch.
¡°Xiaoxiao, are you okay?¡± Yu Zhe stared at the girls and shouted angrily, ¡°Shut up, all of you! Busybodies!¡±
One of them felt indignant and said, ¡°Yu Zhe, you haven¡¯t fallen for her, have you? She is such a fickle woman, seducing men everywhere. Who knows how many men she has slept with¡ Don¡¯t you find her dirty?¡±
¡°Shut up!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was the one who howled this time. She grabbed the volleyball at the side and threw it right at the girl¡¯s forehead, and the girl fell back on her butt.
The onlookers started to condemn her.
¡°You¡ªMu Xiaoxiao! How can you use force on her! Don¡¯t think that you still have Young Master Jie¡¯s protection. Now that he has seen your true colors, he won¡¯t keep you anymore! You have been abandoned!¡±

¡°If he doesn¡¯t want me, do you think he would want you?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao scoffed at her.
The girl had not expected her to retort in this manner, and she stared nkly for a moment before her face flushed with anger. However, she could not find the words to retaliate.
Mu Xiaoxiao sneered and said, ¡°With your looks, even if you went for stic surgery, Yin Shaojie would never fancy you! There is nothing for you to do but envy me.¡±
¡°You¡ You¡ ¡± The girl was about to blow her top.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned her attention and stared at the girl who ndered her and said haughtily, ¡°I¡¯m pretty, and I have a nice figure. What are you gonna do about it? I¡¯m charming, and I can make guys treat me well. What are you gonna do about it? Tsk tsk. By the looks of the bunch of you, you must be extremely envious, huh?¡±
She had already been upset, yet they had still provoked her anyways.
Did they think that she was a pushover?
There was only one person in this world who could bully her, and that person is that rascal, Yin Shaojie. The others could only wish!
The girls who were told off were all grim-faced.
¡°Who¡¯s jealous of you! Mu Xiaoxiao, who do you think you are? Who¡¯s envious of you! Don¡¯t tter yourself. For a fickle woman like you, there¡¯s nothing to be envious about. You¡¯re so dirty. I hope you don¡¯t catch those disgusting diseases!¡±
¡°Enough!¡± Yu Zhe shouted at them as he could not stand it anymore.
He held onto Mu Xiaoxiao and noticed that she looked pale. He asked her worriedly, ¡°How are you? Are you feeling unwell? Let me take you to the school¡¯s clinic to have a look, okay?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was fighting the difort and didn¡¯t want to appear weak in front of these people.
She smiled provocatively at the girls and said, ¡°Just wait and see. Didn¡¯t you say that Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t want me? I will let you witness how much he likes me, how well he treats me, and how much he pampers me! I will make you die from envy!¡±
Hearing that, almost everyone thought that she had lost her mind from the nonsense she was spouting.
Make Young Master Jie like her? And pamper her?
Heh-heh, keep dreaming!
Young Master Jie had dated so many girls, and they were all servile to him. Who had ever seen Young Master Jie indulge any one of his girlfriend so excessively?
That was utterly impossible!
Yu Zhe saw that Mu Xiaoxiao was swaying slightly as if she was going to copse. He quickly grabbed her arm and was going to reach for her shoulder so that she could lean on him.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao was not used to people being so close to her, and she shied away slightly. She knew that he had good intentions, and she smiled to him and said, ¡°I¡¯m alright. Don¡¯t worry.¡±
Yu Zhe frowned and said, ¡°I think you¡¯d better go to the school¡¯s clinic to have a checkup or to rest. It¡¯s only physical education lesson. It¡¯s no big deal if you miss it.
At this moment, a good acquaintance of Yu Zhe approached and passed him the phone in his hand.
¡°I happened to record the event just now. Take a look. They smashed you on purpose!¡±
Hearing that, the girls who were ying started to panic.
¡°That is nder! We didn¡¯t do it on purpose. We can¡¯t control where the ball goes!¡±
¡°Thanks brother.¡± Yu Zhe took the phone and brought it before Mu Xiaoxiao, and the two watched the recording.
The video was more than ten minutes long. It reached the part where Mu Xiaoxiao was hit.
It was clear that the girl who had swatted the ball was looking at Mu Xiaoxiao just as she hit the ball over to her.

Yu Zhe¡¯s blood boiled as he watched the video. After the girls had hit Mu Xiaoxiao once, they looked at each other, pleased, and continued their assault.
If he had not stepped in, they might have done it three or even four times!
¡°The truth is right in front of your eyes. What else do you have to say!¡± He turned the screen towards the girls in fury, putting it in the view of others at the same time to show that he had not ndered their reputations.
The girls paled and did not dare to speak.
¡°Apologize!¡± Yu Zhe roared.
The girls seemed reluctant and looked at each other. Frightened by Yu Zhe¡¯s attitude, one of them began to bow to apologize. ¡°Sor-¡±
Suddenly, a girl stopped them. ¡°You don¡¯t have to apologize! Why should you? So what if you hit her? She isn¡¯t under the protection of Young Master Jie anymore. Why should we continue to be scared of her?¡±
Even though Yu Zhe¡¯s background was quite formidable, it was to be expected. Which student could get into ss S if their background wasn¡¯t?
The girl who stopped them had a background simr to Yu Zhe¡¯s, so she was not afraid of him.
Also, she was d to help these people punish Mu Xiaoxiao, for she had been harboring resentment towards her.
¡°But¡¡± The girl who had tried to apologize was a little worried about the harsh words Mu Xiaoxiao had thrown out arrogantly and of Young Master Jie, who had expelled Han Xue¡¯er because of Mu Xiaoxiao and even stood up for her in public by punishing the girls who had bullied her.
The girls¡¯ hearts were uneasy about how they had retaliated against Mu Xiaoxiao. What would be of them if what Mu Xiaoxiao had said was true and Young Master Jie really cherished her? They may very well be the next one to get expelled then.
It was a symbol of status to be able to study at Shangde High. If they were expelled, they would suffer at the hands of their families.
After Han Xue¡¯er had been expelled, there were many who gloated over the fact in secret.
No wanted wanted to experience a fate like Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s¡
When the girls had used the ball to hit Mu Xiaoxiao, it was actually because they had seen her spacing out and wanted to use the chance to vent their resentment towards her. They had thought that no one would notice if they had pretended that it had been an ident since Mu Xiaoxiao looked like someone who could be bullied easily. Never had they expected that she would retaliate so strongly and cause the matter to blow up.
The girls nced at each other, the same thoughts probably going through their minds then. They ignored the girl who stopped them and bowed together before Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°Sorry! It¡¯s all our fault. Please forgive us!¡±
They were now much more sincere after thinking about the possible threat of expulsion.
However, half of the people still didn¡¯t believe that Young Master Jie would look after Mu Xiaoxiao to such an extent. They felt that Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ego would only be inted by the girls¡¯ apologies, so they continued to harbor feelings of resentment towards her.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt really dizzy and was in no mood to continue the dispute. She waved them away, signaling that the matter was over.
¡°Xiaoxiao, are you going to let it pass just like that?¡± Yu Zhe seemed reluctant to do so.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat down. It felt too ufortable standing up. Beckoning to Yu Zhe, she signaled to him to hand his phone to her.
Yu Zhe was baffled but did so.
Mu Xiaoxiao sent the video to her phone and edited it. She extracted the part where she was hit and looked like a pathetic joke before sending it to Yin Shaojie.
¡ª¡ªJie, look, I¡¯m so pitiful. Please don¡¯t be angry anymore, okay?
She added a pitiable emoji that resembled being sted into charcoal at the end of the message.

Yu Zhe saw Mu Xiaoxiao frozen in this position and felt that something was amiss. Tapping her, he asked, ¡°Xiaoxiao, what happened? Are you okay?¡±
Her face looked paler than before, which made him worried.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s gaze lifted from her phone, and she looked at him. Her face was streaked with sobs as she cried, ¡°Boohoo, he¡¯s ignoring me¡¡±
¡°Who is he?¡± Yu Zhe asked in puzzlement, but something clicked in his mind. Could she be referring to Young Master Jie?
Looking dejected, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t reply to him.
Yu Zhe swept his gaze over the crowd, signaling that they should back off. Even though Mu Xiaoxiao was already feeling so ufortable, they were still surrounding her like that
¡°Xiaoxiao, you don¡¯t look too good. Let me take you to the sick bay, okay?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao did not protest this time and merely nodded her head obediently.
She was still feeling dizzy and was worried that it was a concussion. She felt a little scared.
Helping her up, Yu Zhe took her out of the ce.
Luckily, the sick bay wasn¡¯t very far. However, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s head was bathed in the bright sunlight, causing her to feel even dizzier. She leaned onto Yu Zhe unconsciously.
Yu Zhe had no choice but to hold her up by her shoulders, his face slightly flushed.
When they finally arrived at the sick bay, the cool breeze of the air-conditioner swept over them.
It wasn¡¯t Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s first time here. Looking at the familiar sick bay reminded her of the previous time when Yin Shaojie stood up for her, and she suddenly missed him.
Was he still angry?
She had even sent him such a pitiful video of her to appease him. Did his heart not soften after seeing it?
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little sad as she thought about this.
She remembered that when she was little and had fallen down, he would imitate Grandma and stand up for her by hitting the floor.
But now¡
¡°Xiaoxiao?¡± A familiar voice suddenly interrupted her train of thought.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up in surprise. Seeing that it was Han Qiqing, she asked, ¡°Why are you here?¡±
Han Qiqing was halfying on the bed and ying with her phone. She didn¡¯t look sick at all.
¡°Hehe,¡± Han Qiqing chuckled awkwardly. ¡°I¡¯m here to rest. What about you? Where are you feeling ufortable? Eh, this boy is¡¡±
She noticed Yu Zhe, who was practically embracing Mu Xiaoxiao.
On the other hand, Yu Zhe was astonished by the girls¡¯ interactions.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°He sits in front of me¡¡±
A wave of dizziness hit her, and Mu Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows in intolerance, her forehead breaking out in cold sweat.
Han Qiqing was a little shocked, but before she could react, Yu Zhe quickly helped her over to a bed. ¡°Xiaoxiao, you should lie down. You¡¯ll probably feel better.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao practically crawled up to the bed.
Yu Zhe even took off her shoes for her and made sure she was settled in before whispering, ¡°I¡¯ll call a doctor.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded.
After Yu Zhe had left, Han Qiqing jumped down from her position on the bed and pulled a chair to Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s bedside. ¡°Xiaoxiao, where are you feeling ufortable? You look bad,¡± she said.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt much better afterying down, feeling less dizzy than before. ¡°I was hit by a ball and am feeling little dizzy.¡±
Han Qiqing looked at her with pity. ¡°Poor Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re so unlucky.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed but didn¡¯t reveal the truth mainly because she waszy to. She would do it when she recovered.
¡°I don¡¯t want to talk. Please don¡¯t talk to me anymore¡¡±
¡°Oh. I¡¯ll stay here with you.¡±

A few minutester, Yu Zhe brought the doctor in. He told the doctor what had happened and let him examine her.
After giving Mu Xiaoxiao some glucose to drink, the doctor started his examination.
¡°Rx, you don¡¯t have a concussion. You¡¯ll be fine after resting for a while. I¡¯ll write a sick note for you; you don¡¯t have to attend morning sses anymore. However, you have to be careful next time. A volleyball hit to the head can have major repercussions and might even be extremely serious.¡±
¡°We understand. Thank you Doctor,¡± Yu Zhe said.
The doctor smiled as he looked at him. ¡°Take care of your girlfriend next time and don¡¯t let her get hurt anymore. Alright,e with me. I¡¯ll give you her medical certificate.¡±
Yu Zhe blushed but did not correct the doctor.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s reflexes were too slow. Before she could exin that she was not his girlfriend, the doctor and Yu Zhe had already left.
¡°Girlfriend?¡± Han Qiqing eximed in surprise, her eyes widening as she looked at Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°He¡¯s your boyfriend? Way to go, Xiaoxiao. You¡¯ve only been back for a few days, yet you already have a boyfriend!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao forced a smile as she exined, ¡°That¡¯s not it! We¡¯re just friends, not a couple. The doctor was mistaken. Can¡¯t you tell? You idiot!¡±
Han Qiqing smiled suggestively. ¡°I can tell, tsk tsk, can¡¯t you? He was so worried for you, and he even took off your shoes himself just now. I don¡¯t believe that he doesn¡¯t like you!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao held her head between her hands and whined, ¡°I¡¯m still feeling very ufortable right now. Can you stop annoying me?¡±
¡°Okay, I¡¯ll shut up.¡± Han Qiqing mimed zipping her mouth shut
Yu Zhe only returned ten minutester, but his hand carried an additional stic bag.
When he walked over to the bed, Mu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes.
Yu Zhe smiled at her and took out the things from the bag one by one. ¡°I¡¯ve bought some food for you to eat. There¡¯s a sandwich, yogurt, and some other things. See what you like to eat. If you don¡¯t like any of them, I¡¯ll go out and buy some other things.¡±
¡°Is the yogurt strawberry-vored?¡± Upon hearing that there was food, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes sparkled, and she sat up.
Han Qiqing jumped up from the other side of the bed too. ¡°I want to eat too!¡±
She grabbed the sandwich swiftly.
¡°I want to eat the sandwich!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was a little gloomy and reached out to snatch it back.
¡°You can eat something else. Aren¡¯t there so many other things to eat?¡±
¡°No, I want to eat the sandwich. Give it to me!¡±
¡°I want to eat it too, and I got it first. me yourself for being so slow.¡±
¡°I¡¯m a patient; can¡¯t you let me have my way?¡±
Yu Zhe was dumbstruck by their interaction. Their behavior with each other suggested that they had, undoubtedly, a really good rtionship with each other.
Yu Zhe obviously knew Han Qiqing¡¯s status. The Hans was one of the Big Four families, so they were very eminent. His background was no match for theirs.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao had such a good rtionship with her.
Making a connection with Yin Shaojie¡¯s protection of Mu Xiaoxiao, Yu Zhe arrived at an inevitable, shocking guess.
¡°Are you¡ Really good friends?¡± Yu Zhe finally blurted out, unable to control himself.
Mu Xiaoxiao jolted and stared into his eyes.
Han Qiqing hugged her neck and grinned at Yu Zhe. ¡°Xiaoxiao and I aren¡¯t ordinary good friends. We¡¯ve known each other since we were young, and we¡¯re really really close. We¡¯re each other¡¯s best friends!¡± she said.
Even though Yu Zhe had guessed this, he still looked shocked when he heard the answer.

Internally, he chuckled to himself bitterly. He had treated Mu Xiaoxiao like a child from an ordinary family.
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao had said that she had transferred over from America, everyone had assumed that she had been amoner since she was academically inclined. In addition, no one had seen Mu Xiaoxiao being chauffeured by luxury cars before, so they thought that she was lying about her status.
Mu Xiaoxiao said guiltily, ¡°Yu Zhe, I wasn¡¯t trying to conceal the truth on purpose¡¡±
Yu Zhe replied understandingly, ¡°I understand.¡±
Actually, she had never talked about her family background at all. What people thought they knew was based off the wild spections of others, so she hadn¡¯t done anything wrong.
¡°Then are you and Young Master Jie childhood friends?¡± he asked. This was the thing he was the most curious about.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°Yeah.¡±
Beside them, Han Qiqing smiled and said, ¡°Xiaoxiao¡¯s rtionship with Yin Shaojie is closer than my rtionship with her. They¡¯ve known each other since Xiaoxiao was born.¡±
Yu Zhe¡¯s expression looked a little unnatural. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is¡¡±
This cleared up the reason for Yin Shaojie¡¯s special treatment of Mu Xiaoxiao and the words she had said at the girls back then.
He suddenly had a desire to see how the girls would react after they knew Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s rtionship with Young Master Jie. That would be exciting.
Originally, Yu Zhe had wanted to stay here and apany her, but with Han Qiqing here, there was no need for his presence.
After chatting for a while, it was time for him to go back to ss.
¡°I¡¯lle and visit you after school then. Rest well.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Yu Zhe then left.
With a peculiar expression on her face, Han Qiqing said, ¡°Did you see that look of disappointment on his face just now? After he heard about your rtionship with Yin Shaojie, his entire being¡ How do I put this ¡ª he looked like he had been jilted in love.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. ¡°I told you to stop with that nonsense! Yu Zhe and I are only friends, and his concern for me is only out of friendship. It¡¯s not as romantic as you think it is!¡±
Han Qiqing thumbed her nose at her. ¡°Humph, just you wait. You¡¯ll get that he likes you eventually.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao snatched the sandwich from her hand. ¡°Say anything more and you won¡¯t get to eat!¡±
¡°Hey hey hey! Fine, I¡¯ll shut up. Give it back to me.¡±
¡°Nope!¡± The gears in Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s head turned. Unwrapping the sandwich swiftly, she stuffed it into her mouth.
Han Qiqing shrieked, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao! You¡¯re too sly!¡±
With the sandwich in her mouth, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s said in a muffled voice, ¡°Yu Zhe got this for me in the first ce¡¡±
¡
Inside an office.
Yin Shaojie lolled about on the long sofazily. His eyes were fixated on his phone¡¯s screen, and the corner of his lips twitched asionally.
Han Qiqing pushed the door open stealthily. She looked around the room and only entered upon seeing him.
¡°Great Master Yin, did you have a fight with Xiaoxiao?¡± she asked.
Yin Shaojie lifted his gaze and looked her in the eye. ¡°I don¡¯t think my office is somewhere that you can enter and exit freely, no?¡± he said expressionlessly.
¡°How stingy. I¡¯m here to be your mediator.¡±
Curious about what he was watching, Han Qiqing walked to his side and craned her neck to peek at the screen.
Yin Shaojie moved his phone away unobtrusively. ¡°This is a private matter between her and me.¡±
Han Qiqing replied uprehendingly, ¡°What are you being so difficult for? Is it because of the picture of her and Lu Yichen? They¡¯re just sitting down and having a meal together; how is that romantic? Anyway, I was also there on that¡¡±
¡°You were where?¡± Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes.

¡°Uh¡¡± Han Qiqing suddenly remembered that she had promised Mu Xiaoxiao that she would keep this a secret, but she had identally revealed it. She gave herself a metaphorical p on the mouth.
Sheughed to cover up her mistake and said, ¡°Anyway! Xiaoxiao and Lu Yichen don¡¯t have anything going on between them. She personally told me that she only views Lu Yichen as a friend and harbors no romantic feelings for him.¡±
Upon hearing this, Yin Shaojie¡¯s freezing demeanor thawed. ¡°Really?¡±
Han Qiqing nodded vigorously. ¡°Of course. Why would I lie to you? We only speak the truth when we have our heart-to-heart talks. She also approves of me chasing after Lu Yichen. Would she have said that if she had feelings for Lu Yichen?¡±
Yin Shaojie seemed to believe her words. His icy expression warmed and melted back to his usual cynical one.
¡°Why did she meet up with Lu Yichen that day then?¡±
Not only did she meet him behind his back, but she had also lied to him after she returned.
His anger began to rise as he thought about that.
Han Qiqing shrugged. ¡°I don¡¯t know. They looked like they were just chatting and didn¡¯t really talk about anything.¡±
Even something like ¡°just chatting¡± would surprise people because Lu Yichen usually kept girls at a great distance. No one had ever seen a single girl get into his good graces.
Han Qiqing¡¯s felt a little downcast. She had always hoped that she would be the exception to those girls. Who knew that this spot would be taken by her good friend?
Yin Shaojie¡¯s mood looked like it had improved immensely from the chilliness Han Qiqing had felt when she had entered the room.
¡°Sometimes I don¡¯t get why you girls like to lie to people,¡± he muttered in a low voice.
Cocking her brows, a displeased Han Qiqing retorted, ¡°Are you ming us girls? Oh please, Great Master Yin! Even though I don¡¯t know what Xiaoxiao lied to you about, think about it. Don¡¯t you have beef with Lu Yichen? If you knew that she was going to look for Lu Yichen, would you, with that tyrannical attitude of yours, have let her go?¡±
The answer was ¡ª of course not!
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes.
Han Qiqing already knew the answer with just a nce at his face. Harrumphing lightly, she said, ¡°Does Xiaoxiao know how petty you are? You¡¯re the oneining about us girls when you¡¯re hating Lu Yichen over over such a trivial matter. You¡¯re the childish one here, okay?¡±
¡°What did you say?¡± Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes menacingly.
Han Qiqing stuck out her tongue as she realized that she had been too presumptuous. After all, she was not Xiaoxiao, and Yin Shaojie would not be as amodating towards her.
¡°Alright, you should hurry and see Xiaoxiao at the sick bay and make up with her.¡± Standing up, she prepared to leave.
Yin Shaojie frowned slightly in iprehension. ¡°Sick bay? Why would she be in the sick bay? It¡¯s one thing for yourzy a** to go there to sleep, but why did you drag her along?¡±
¡°That¡¯s not it. Don¡¯t you know what happened?¡± Han Qiqing pointed at his phone. She had seen the video when she had taken a peek at it earlier.
Yin Shaojie picked up his phone. ¡°Do you mean this? What about it? Wasn¡¯t this filmed on purpose?¡±
He had thought that Mu Xiaoxiao had fabricated the video herself in order to garner sympathy and humor him so that his heart would soften.
Han Qiqing¡¯s words felt like a p to his head.
¡°Fabricated? Xiaoxiao was really hit by a ball! She almost had a concussion and is still resting at the sick bay right now!¡±
¡°What?!¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s facial expression changed immediately.
Before she could react, he had already rushed out of the office.
Chapter 144
144 Could She Be Any Dumber Than This?
Trantor: AsStudios | Editor: AsStudios /As Studios
Upon arriving at the sick bay, Yin Shaojie found it empty. There was no sign of Mu Xiaoxiao.
He wrinkled his brows reflexively. Even though he suspected that he had been fooled by Han Qiqing, he still couldn¡¯t help but worry.
Just then, a doctor walked past. Blocking his path, he asked, ¡°Where is Mu Xiaoxiao? Is she not resting inside?¡±
Coincidentally, that doctor was the one who had examined Mu Xiaoxiao earlier and was a little taken aback by this. After realizing that it was Young Master Jie in front of him, he answered quickly, ¡°Young Master Jie, might you be talking about the girl whose head was hit by a ball?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s heart tightened. It seemed like Han Qiqing wasn¡¯t lying. Mu Xiaoxiao, that fool, had really been hit by a ball.
Could she be any dumber than this?
She still thought about sending a video to cate him even though she had already been injured so badly by the hit.
His heart softened as he thought about Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s tone in her message, which had pleaded with him to stop being angry so pitiably.
He remembered that something simr had happened when both of them were young. After they had fallen out, she had fallen down and scraped her hands while chasing after him as he ran away. She had ignored her injuries, however, because cating him was her only desire. In the end, both of them had made up quickly after he found out that she had injured herself.
Yin Shaojie felt frustrated all of a sudden. He wondered what he was doing and why he had been so furious.
When he had seen the picture, he only remembered feeling that something had snapped in his brain before an uncontroble fury burst forth from him.
If he had calmed down to think things through, he would have realized why Mu Xiaoxiao had chosen to lie to him.
However, he was now utterly confused about what he was angry for. Was it because Mu Xiaoxiao had lied to him or the contents of the picture?
Never mind that now!
He should look for her before anything else.
¡°It¡¯s her. Is she in serious condition? Isn¡¯t she supposed to be resting here? Why is there no sign of her?¡± Yin Shaojie interrogated the doctor relentlessly. His expression, with his knitted brows, repelled people froming close to him.
Met with Young Master Jie, the doctor was inevitably frightened, for this young master was infamous for his unfathomable fury and also had the absolute and final say in matters within Shangde. He was terribly afraid that he would offend this person.
¡°The student¡¯s condition isn¡¯t serious at all, and there is no concussion. She will recover if she rests well,¡± the doctor replied respectfully.
¡°Where did she go? Can¡¯t you answer all my questions in a single go?¡± Yin Shaojie was annoyed.
The doctor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. ¡°M-My apologies, Young Master Jie.¡±
Yin Shaojie said sharply, ¡°Can you hurry up and spit it out?! Where is she?¡±
¡°She hasn¡¯t been gone for long; her boyfriend came to take her away,¡± the doctor replied in a single breath.
¡°Boyfriend?¡± Hearing this, Yin Shaojie¡¯s forehead wrinkled even more, looking as if it could squash a fly in between the folds of his skin. His icy aura made the doctor feel the urge to retreat from his presence.
The doctor could only nod. ¡°Yes, her boyfriend. He was the one who brought her here too.¡±
¡°Which one? Lu Yichen?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s tone was freezing.
The doctor knew Lu Yichen of course, for he was one of the notable people in Shangde. He shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s not him. It¡¯s another boy.¡±
¡°Who?¡± Yin Shaojie furrowed his brows. An image of Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s first day in school shed into his mind. At that time, she had been hanging out with a boy.
Could it be that boy?
Yin Shaojie turned to leave but stopped suddenly. Eyes shing with aggressiveness, he said to the doctor, ¡°You¡¯d better listen up. She¡¯s my woman! Remember that!¡±

It was only when he had started walking outside that he remembered that he should call Mu Xiaoxiao. He had rushed over in anxiety earlier, and had never expected her to be absent.
The call connected only a few ringster.
Before he could speak, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s delighted voice rang out from the other side, ¡°Jie! You¡¯re not angry anymore, are you?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s heart skipped, and he blurted faintly, ¡°You d*mned fool!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao sounded aggrieved as she said, ¡°What are you scolding me for? What must I do to calm your anger? I can exin things ¡ª listen to me before you decide whether you want to be angry with me, okay?¡±
Yin Shaojie had an impatient personality. He talked as he walked, ignoring her words. ¡°Where are you right now?¡± he asked directly.
¡°I¡¯m at¡¡±
Yin Shaojie lifted his head and happened to see her in the distance. He stopped for a second before quickly making his way towards her. ¡°I see you! Stay there and don¡¯t move!¡±
With that said, he sped over.
Frozen in shock by his shouts, Mu Xiaoxiao stood at her original spot in a daze. Then, seeming to feel his presence, she looked towards where he was.
¡°Jie? How did you¡¡±
He was really fast and reached her in a moment.
Before she could finish her sentence, Yin Shaojie red daggers at Yu Zhe beside her and said coldly, ¡°Do you want your hands to be cut off? Why aren¡¯t you releasing her?¡±
Yu Zhe, who had been holding Mu Xiaoxiao up, froze. His expression changed a little, and he let go of her reluctantly in the end.
Yin Shaojie pushed him aside and took his ce before pulling Mu Xiaoxiao into his embrace with his long arms.
¡°Why aren¡¯t you resting in the sick bay when you¡¯re unwell? What are you running around for?¡± His voice took on a reproaching tone as he spoke, but it was much softer than the icy one he used when he had been angry before.
¡°I¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao blinked and looked towards the direction she had been heading.
Yin Shaojie followed her gaze to the Year Two¡¯s building block. In that instant, he understood that this girl had been trying to look for him.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re so d*mned dumb!¡±
He scolded again, but this time, his gaze softened and his embrace rxed.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted in displeasure. ¡°You¡¯re scolding me again; you¡¯re the dumb one! Stupid Yin Shaojie, people who aren¡¯t dumb would transform into idiots after being scolded by you!¡±
Yin Shaojie shot a nce at the nearby Yu Zhe and asked, ¡°Who the heck is this? Why did the doctor at the sick bay say that he was your boyfriend? Exin this, Mu Xiaoxiao.¡±
¡°You went to the sick bay?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was astonished. No wonder he hade looking for her so suddenly.
Yin Shaojie red at her. ¡°The main point is thest bit! Answer me now!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. ¡°It¡¯s not my fault that the doctor misunderstood¡ He¡¯s my ssmate who sits in front of me and helps me out a lot. Stop being so aggressive towards him.¡±
Yin Shaojie had noticed that Yu Zhe¡¯s gaze had be a little gloomy after he said this. Even though this made the former¡¯s lips curl in pleasure, he still pretended to be unhappy. ¡°I¡¯ll ept his presence ¡ª grudgingly. Let¡¯s go and get you some rest. You shouldn¡¯t be running about when you¡¯re still feeling difort.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him huffily. Isn¡¯t this your fault!
If a particr person hadn¡¯t gotten angry randomly, she wouldn¡¯t have zoned out, been hit by the ball, and ended up resting in the sick bay. She wouldn¡¯t have even needed to look for that particr person to make up with.
Thinking that she may still be dizzy from being hit on the head, Yin Shaojie released her and half-squatted in front of her, indicating that he wanted to carry her.
Climbing onto him would have been a very natural gesture for Mu Xiaoxiao until she remembered that Yu Zhe was still looking on right by them.

She shot an embarrassed nce at Yu Zhe before replying to Yin Shaojie, ¡°No need. I¡¯m feeling much better now, and I¡¯m not dizzy anymore.¡±
However, Yin Shaojie stillmanded domineeringly, ¡°Get on.¡±
Beside them, Yu Zhe chuckled bitterly. He wanted to express his graciousness, but his throat seemed mysteriously stuck, and he couldn¡¯t utter a word.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him apologetically and said, ¡°Yu Zhe, you can go back to ss first; I¡¯ll be fine with him here. Thanks for helping me; I¡¯ll treat you to food next time.¡±
Yu Zhe finally found his voice. ¡°Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re too polite. Just hurry back to the sick bay to rest.¡±
Looking at Yin Shaojie, he said, ¡°Young Master Jie, please take good care of Xiaoxiao then.¡±
Upon hearing these words, Yin Shaojie¡¯s annoyance reared its head. Displeased, he red at him and said, ¡°Let¡¯s be clear about this! Xiaoxiao is only close to me here. You¡¯re a mere outsider ¡ª do you have the right to speak to me like that? Scram; I don¡¯t want to see your face!¡±
Why was this guy such an eyesore!
¡°Yin Shaojie!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao turned angry at his disy of temper.
Yu Zhe¡¯s face looked awful.
Looking at him, Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°Yu Zhe, I¡¯m sorry¡¡±
¡°Enough! Why are you apologizing to him? Hurry up and get on, you hear? I¡¯ll hit him if you don¡¯t get on now!¡± At the limits of his impatience, Yin Shaojie delivered this ultimatum.
Helpless, Mu Xiaoxiao could only get on his back.
Before she could say goodbye to Yu Zhe, Yin Shaojie had already carried her away swiftly as though she was as light as a feather.
Yu Zhe¡¯s eyes darkened as he watched their disappearing silhouette.
¡
Unexpectedly, Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t take her back to the sick bay but to a luxurious-looking European-style building.
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao had seen numerous buildings like that in America, her breath was still taken away at the sight of this one.
¡°What¡¯s this ce?¡±
They entered a lobby. The fancy chandelier hanging from the high ceiling made the ce unimaginably beautiful, and there was an elegant spiral staircase nearby.
This ce practically resembled a ssical European castle.
¡°This is the Student Union¡¯s building,¡± Yin Shaojie said in a mild tone. He carried her up the second floor and entered a room.
Mu Xiaoxiao could only catch a blurry glimpse of the sign on the door. Office of the President of the Student Union?
She was slightly shocked. Could it be¡
Yin Shaojie pushed the door in and entered. Seeing that Han Qiqing was still inside, he frowned and said, ¡°Why are you loitering about?¡±
Han Qiqing was on the sofa eating some fries and drinking a beverage, looking like she was enjoying herself.
Seeing them, she smiled and said, ¡°Eh, so you¡¯ve made up.¡±
Putting Mu Xiaoxiao down, Yin Shaojie expelled her bluntly, ¡°Get out. My office isn¡¯t your recreation room.¡±
¡°Humph, casting away your benefactor now that you¡¯ve made up huh.¡± Han Qiqing grumbled, but she still stood up from the sofa and made her way over reluctantly.
Yin Shaojie red at her. ¡°It¡¯s not like there isn¡¯t a recreation room on the first level, or you could always go to the sick bay to chill. Suit yourself.¡±
¡°Fine, I¡¯ll leave; what a petty boy!¡± She had, of course, mumbled thest part, for she would never dare to scold this young master in his face ¡ª this was a right orded to only Mu Xiaoxiao.
Just as Han Qiqing was about to exit the room, she stopped. Turning back to look at them, she finally noticed that Yin Shaojie was still holding Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand.
She gave a suggestive smile suddenly. ¡°So, you¡¯re chasing me off so that you can be alone together? Great Master Yin, what are you nning to do with our dear Xiaoxiao?¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed by her words. Unexpectedly, Yin Shaojie suddenly embraced her and nted a kiss on her cheeks.
He waggled his brows devilishly at Han Qiqing. ¡°Do you know what my rtionship with Xiaoxiao is currently?¡± he asked.
¡°What¡¯s your rtionship?¡± Han Qiqing was both confused and curious.
Yin Shaojie smiled and said, ¡°We¡¯re engaged, and she¡¯s my fianc¨¦e now. Whatever we do behind closed doors is perfectly justified!¡±
Han Qiqing was shocked. ¡°What? You¡¯re engaged? Since when?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao answered a little awkwardly, ¡°A while after I got back. Actually, our engagement was the doing of¡ Aiyo!¡±
She was pinched at the waist by a certain someone.
Yin Shaojie said to Han Qiqing, ¡°Then, can you leave now? Don¡¯t disturb us.¡±
Han Qiqing wasn¡¯t really that astounded by the news, for the two of them had been on really good terms since they had been kids.
As childhood friends, they had spent a lot of time ying in each other¡¯spany.
It was expected for them to be together.
¡°Alright then, I shall stop being a third wheel.¡± Han Qiqing waved and left tactfully.
Yin Shaojie pulled Mu Xiaoxiao over to the sofa and sat down.
He frowned at the rubbish on the coffee table. ¡°I should have gotten her to clean up before kicking her out.¡±
¡°Never mind that,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said. Grabbing a pillow, sheid down on a corner of the sofa and looked around. ¡°This is kindafy,¡± she said.
¡°Yeah, that¡¯s why I brought you here.¡±
It was better than staying in the sick bay, which smelled like disinfectant.
Lying there, Mu Xiaoxiao cast a nce at him and asked, ¡°On the way here, I saw the door say that this was the office of the President of the Student Union¡ Are you¡ The President of the Student Union?
She was in disbelief that someone so capricious could be appointed as the President of the Student Union.
Yin Shaojie shot a nce at her. ¡°You have a problem with that?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t reply. Her eyes were closed, and she looked like she was resting.
Originally, she had wanted to ask if he had ceased to be angry at her, but perhaps it was because of her tiredness, in addition to the sense of security she felt around him, that she allowed herself to fall asleep when the urge to do so washed over her.
Yin Shaojie was torn betweenughing and crying when he saw how she had fallen asleep in mere seconds.
It showed that this girl had been very tired.
The air-conditioning in the room was on full st. Seeing that she was hugging her pillow and curled up like a cat, he was worried that she would catch a cold, and so he found a nket for her. Bending over, he covered her with it.
After that, he didn¡¯t straighten up and remained bent over, studying her little face.
The front part of her hair was parted, and it revealed the faint red marks on her head that looked like it had been made by a ball¡¯s hit.
He seemed to remember something. He thought about the video she had sent and narrowed his eyes.
Just then, Mu Xiaoxiao groaned and turned over in her sleep, causing her phone to fall out of her pocket.
Yin Shaojie picked up her phone and looked through it for the original, unedited version of the video.
After watching it, his handsome face darkened, and his eyes turned cold.
Things were just as he had guessed!
His vision returned to her sleeping face. Her pretty face looked as delicate and fair as an egg, looking enticingly kissable. However, this was also the reason why she looked like a good target for bullies.
Yin Shaojie lowered his head and brushed a soft kiss on her lips.
¡°Little fool, why did you keep mum about being bullied?¡±

Chapter 148: Hatred Towards Mu Xiaoxiao
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The photo of Yin Shaojie piggybacking Mu Xiaoxiao quickly spread throughout the entire school through the students¡¯ phones.
Upon seeing this photo, some people turned pale with fright, while others felt extremely envious, and the rest¡
Han Xue¡¯er threw her phone down forcefully.
Her face turned dark, and her eyes were scarlet as she huffed heavily.
The nearby domestic helper was baffled by this and was also frightened by her expression. She didn¡¯t dare to move.
Han Xue¡¯er shot a re at her and roared with fury, ¡°Pick it up at once!¡±
The luxurious living room was padded with a handmade carpet from Italy, so the phone was undamaged from the violent throw earlier.
The domestic helper trembled with fear as she picked the phone up and handed it over.
Once Han Xue¡¯er had the phone in her hands, she threw it again fiercely. This time, it hit the wall, and a sickening crack was heard.
¡°Older Sister, are you still angry about what happened in school?¡± Han Yun¡¯er said as she made her way down the stairs while smiling.
¡°How abouting over to Second High? Then we¡¯ll be together.¡±
Han Xue¡¯er eyed her with contempt. ¡°Why would anyone want to attend the same school as the child of a slut? I wouldn¡¯t ever attend such a trashy school even if I was invited to.¡±
The corner of Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s eye twitched a little. Even though she had predicted that Han Xue¡¯er would reject her idea, the tone she had used still infuriated the former.
¡°Shangde has expelled you, and St. Maria doesn¡¯t want to admit you. Hehe, I¡¯m so envious of you; you can take such a long vacation so openly.¡± Han Yun¡¯er said this with a smile on her face, her tone full of sarcasm.
Apart from Shangde High, St. Maria Institute was the only other elite school catered to the rich.
¡°Han Yun¡¯er, who do you think you are? How dare you mock me? Believe it or not, I can chase you out!¡± Han Xue¡¯er, who had already been in a fit, was now boiling mad because of her provocation.
Picking up the phone on the floor, Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s expression changed instantly as she saw the photograph on its screen.
¡°This photo is¡¡± She recognized Mu Xiaoxiao from the photograph.
Noticing the hatred in her eyes, Han Xue¡¯er smiled. Misery lovespany, after all. ¡°This is Mu Xiaoxiao ¡ª Young Master Jie¡¯s new favorite.
Gritting her teeth, she spat, ¡°I was expelled because of her!¡±
Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s gaze was cold as she sauntered to her side and sat down. ¡°Sister, even though I know you hate me, we now have amon enemy. Should we work together?¡±
¡°You hate her too?¡± Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s curiosity was piqued. She could see from Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s eyes that they not only held the resentment of having Young Master Jie stolen from her but also hatred.
¡°This girl¡ Just because Young Master Jie adores her, she has been going around acting so arrogantly. I¡¯ve been annoyed by her for the longest time already!¡± The mention of Mu Xiaoxiao aroused the hatred in the depths of her heart, and Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s lips twitched.
¡°How would you like to coborate then?¡± Han Xue¡¯er asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao was smiling brilliantly as she was being carried by Yin Shaojie in the image. Looking at this picture made Han Yun¡¯er want to rip Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face apart.
¡°Sister, say, what do men care about the most?¡± There was a sweet smile on her face, but the viciousness of a scorpion was reflected in her eyes.
¡°What?¡± Han Xue¡¯er saw that she had a n.
Han Yun¡¯er swept a nce at the domestic helpers around them and ordered, ¡°You may all leave.¡±
It was seldom, but Han Xue¡¯er didn¡¯t mind that she gave herself the airs of a young missy this time.
The domestic helpers left, leaving only the two of them in the living room.
Han Yun¡¯er waggled her brows and said, ¡°If a woman is neither good looking or has been vited, do you think Young Master Jie would still like her?¡±
Han Xue¡¯er narrowed her eyes. ¡°So you¡¯re saying that we should mutte her face and force someone on her?¡±
¡°We can also make her a cripple; for example, make her lose a hand, maker her lose a leg, make her go blind, or cut off her nose! It makes me feel so gross just thinking about it!¡± Han Yun¡¯er was smiling, but the words that came out of her mouth were of the most malicious sort.

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Upon hearing these words, Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s brows furrowed in difort. ¡°Isn¡¯t that a little too harsh?¡±
She had thought herself to be a vicious woman, never imagining that Han Yun¡¯er woulde up with an even more savage idea.
One could already feel extremely ufortable and disgusted by the imagery she had painted. If such a thing happened to a girl, her entire life would be inevitably ruined.
However, Han Yun¡¯er had smiled as she had described her n nonchntly ¡ª it gave one shivers down one¡¯s spine.
Han Yun¡¯er paused for a moment before putting on an act as she goaded, ¡°I was trying to think of the most brutal punishment because of how much you hate her. If you want to give her mercy, feel free to disregard my suggestions. Anyway, I¡¯ve already dated Young Master Jie, and there¡¯s no hope of a reunion with him since he never goes back to the same woman; whatever I try to do won¡¯t help me at all. However, it¡¯s different for you ¡ª without Mu Xiaoxiao, you might be able to win the affections of Young Master Jie¡¡±
She mentioned the matter that Han Xue¡¯er cared about the most on purpose.
Sure enough, Han Xue¡¯er retorted disdainfully after hearing these words, ¡°Why should I be merciful towards her?¡±
Han Yun¡¯er looked askance at her and said deliberately, ¡°I had thought¡ You would be afraid of going overboard and cause Young Master Jie to resent you. After all, these methods are a little cruel, and if Young Master Jie knows of your ruthlessness, he might not fall in love with you.¡±
Before Han Xue¡¯er could consider this properly, she continued, ¡°But think about this: if you don¡¯t act at least a little viciously, would you be able to vent your hatredpletely? What if Young Master Jiees to sympathize with that slut and cares for her even more ¡ª wouldn¡¯t that go the opposite way of what we wish for? Do you want to continue watching Mu Xiaoxiao being pampered while you¡¯ve not only been expelled but also unable to get what you want?¡±
No! Of course Han Xue¡¯er didn¡¯t want this to happen!
Right now, what she wanted to see most was Mu Xiaoxiao in dire straits, preferably abandoned by Young Master Jie to the point of terrible and inconsble heartbreak.
Originally, Han Xue¡¯er was a little hesitant about this, but upon hearing these things, her resolve solidified.
¡°Then what do you think we should do?¡± she asked Han Yun¡¯er.
Seeing that Han Xue¡¯er had been convinced by her words, she smiled to herself.
¡°I¡¯m acquainted with some underground people who specialize in such matters, but it costs money to hire them, and I don¡¯t have¡¡±
Upon hearing this, Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s face turned sour. ¡°It¡¯s only money; I have that! I¡¯ll give you the money, and you¡¯ll settle the deed.¡±
At the same time, she felt even more contempt towards Han Yun¡¯er ¡ª as expected of the illegitimate child of a mistress. Thetter had undesirable connections that were better kept under the table.
Han Yun¡¯er put on an awkward air and said, ¡°It would be a little hard¡ For me to do this alone, especially as a girl, which would make discussing such matters a little difficult. Oh yeah, Sister, don¡¯t you have bodyguards? How about letting me borrow a few?¡±
Without thinking twice, Han Xue¡¯er responded irritably, ¡°Just borrow whatever you want! But remember ¡ª this MUST seed!¡±
Seeing Han Yun¡¯er in such a state pleased her. Han Xue¡¯er, being the true heir of the family, was not only given arge allowance by her dad but also given personal bodyguards, unlike Han Yun¡¯er, who had nothing at all.
This was the difference between a legitimate rich missy and the illegitimate daughter of a mistress!
¡°Rx, it will surely seed,¡± Han Yun¡¯er said with a smile, her eyes clouding over with malevolence.

Chapter 150: The Unknown Side of Him
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
As Mu Xiaoxiao peeled her eyes open slowly, the image of Yin Shaojie sitting behind a desk greeted her.
He had on some earphones, and his sexy lips mumbled something in a foreignnguage in a beautiful ent. His profile looked devilishly handsome, and the way his body was bathed in the sunlight looked breathtaking.
She sat up before realizing that she had been lying down and covered by a nket.
¡°Jie, what are you doing?¡± she called out softly as she crossed her legs and rubbed her sleepy eyes.
Thenguage he was speaking in didn¡¯t seem like English because she couldn¡¯t understand a single thing, and it also sounded weird.
Oh yeah! It sounded a bit like French.
Could Yin Shaojie speak French too?
Yin Shaojie only shot her a nce before resuming his conversation with the person on the other side. From the way he was looking at the screen, it seemed like he was on a video chat with someone.
Mu Xiaoxiao was curious. Getting off the sofa, she crept forward stealthily on her bare feet, not even bothering to put on slippers.
¡°What are you doing?¡± Quizzical, she craned her neck to look.
What was he being so serious over? Was he trying to pick up hot chicks? His expression didn¡¯t seem so, however.
Yin Shaojie used a hand to block her face, preventing her observation before quickly closing the video window. ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, where are your manners? How dare you spy on me?¡± he said as he looked askance at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. ¡°What¡¯s so mysterious that you have to hide it away from me? Who are you talking to?¡±
¡°It¡¯s a secret!¡± Yin Shaojie pinched her little nose.
¡°What was thatnguage you were speaking in just now?¡± she asked. By then, he had already switched hisptop off and pulled her over to the sofa.
¡°French.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised. It was really French, but she was still confused. ¡°When did you learn French? Why don¡¯t I know about it?¡±
¡°There are many things you still don¡¯t know! How much of me do you think you know?¡± Yin Shaojie said whileughing. Ever since Mu Xiaoxiao had departed for the States, the time they spent together decreased. This, in addition to the onset of puberty and theck of involvement in each other¡¯s lives, caused them to not understand many things about the other.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought this was logical. He was also in the dark about what she had done in America.
¡°How manynguages do you know then?¡± she asked curiously.
Yin Shaojie obviously knew Mandarin and English, for he had received an elite education since he was little, and they had already known how to converse in English when they were kids.
It was her exposure to English as a child that had saved her from facing anguage barrier when she went to America.
¡°About five or six,¡± Yin Shaojie replied carelessly, not bothering to count properly.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened, stunned. ¡°Five or six? That¡¯s amazing!¡±
Yin Shaojie smirked proudly and waggled his eyebrows at her. ¡°You only know this now?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa and crossed her legs out of habit. Pulling a pillow into her embrace, she gazed at him and said, her voice full of emotion, ¡°Jie, it seems like I don¡¯t understand you anymore.¡±
She had only been in America for a few years, but he had already changed so much. Not only was he a massive flirt, but he had also be so awesome. It seemed as though he had more than a few secrets, which made him feel strange to her.
Suddenly, Yin Shaojie leaned forward. His face, so handsome that it could incur the indignation of both man and God, was mere centimeters from hers.
¡°Want to get to know me better?¡± he asked, his sexy voice sounding suggestive.
Caught off guard, Mu Xiaoxiao identally gazed into his inky ck eyes. It seemed to hold so much depth, and she felt like they were trying to pull her in.

¡°I¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao froze and said embarrassedly, ¡°I don¡¯t know¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t know? Why don¡¯t you know?¡± Yin Shaojie interrogated. His brows were furrowed, and he seemed displeased with her answer.
¡°I mean just that ¡ª I don¡¯t know!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao red at him.
Internally, she felt conflicted. On one hand, she wanted to know him better, but on the other hand, she did not.
She was confused by her own emotions.
She wanted to know more about him but also felt an unexinable uneasiness. If she got closer to him, would it change their rtionship?
She didn¡¯t want anything to change. She liked how she felt in hispany now: really rxed andfortable.
¡°You¡¯re really¡¡± Yin Shaojie was annoyed by her and wanted to knock on her skull with his hand, but remembering her injury, he pinched her cheeks instead.
Mu Xiaoxiao blinked her big dark eyes and did not protest his pinching of her cheeks, but she took this chance to ask, ¡± Yin Shaojie, are finally not angry at me anymore?¡±
¡°Have I ever said that?¡± Yin Shaojie hemmed.
Mu Xiaoxiao was unhappy and pursed her lips. ¡°Then what do you want? What should I do to lessen your anger?¡±
Yin Shaojie met her eyes and crossed his arms. He drawled like a self-centered Master, ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to give me an exnation? I¡¯ll decide whether I want to forgive you after I listen to your exnation.¡±
¡°Exnation¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know where to start. She thought for a while before saying, ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to lie to you on purpose, but if I had told you that I was going to look for Lu Yichen, you would have gotten angry.¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s face was stern as he said, ¡°Why did you meet him if you knew that I would be angry then?¡±
¡°You¡¯re so selfish!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao red at him as she huffed with anger. ¡°So I can¡¯t meet my friends just because you¡¯ll be angry? What right do you have!¡±
Yin Shaojie retorted impetuously, ¡°The right from being your husband!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao felt as if she was about to go mad with anger. In a loud voice, she bellowed, ¡°Yin Shaojie! How could you say this! I¡¯ve never interfered with you dating other girls; why are you stopping me from making friends? You¡ This is so unreasonable!¡±
Furthermore, they had not entered into the engagement willingly, and he had even objected to it at the start.
¡°Friends? How can males and females have a purely tonic rtionship with each other? Are you lying to me or to yourself?¡± Yin Shaojie turned his nose up at her words and added, ¡°Also, I am single now.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed. ¡°That¡¯s temporary and doesn¡¯t have any bearing on whether you¡¯ll not be in the future!¡±
He was a gigantic flirt and had a constant stream of girlfriends. Could she even count on him being chaste for her?
Yin Shaojie shot a look at her. ¡°Why must you choose him as a friend? Do you dare to admit that you don¡¯t like him at all?¡±
Even though he had already known the answer from Han Qiqing, he still asked this purposely, wanting to hear her confirm that she didn¡¯t like Lu Yichen from her own mouth.
However, he was surprised by her answer.
¡°I like him!¡±
Yin Shaojie was shocked. His eyes turned cold as he shouted, ¡°What did you say?!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao exined, ¡°The kind of like I have towards him is the feeling I harbor for awesome people and friends. I admire him and want to be his friend. That¡¯s it. Why are you making me sound like a girl who¡¯s drunk on infatuation?¡±
Most people would think this way; it was natural for people to want to know awesome people and make friends with them.
If not, wouldn¡¯t she be limited to only having girlfriends, and not friends of the opposite sex?

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know about how it worked locally, but in America, she had many friends of the opposite sex. Their rtionship was purely tonic, and there was no hint of romance at all.
Yin Shaojie took a deep breath and stopped himself from strangling this girl. Was this wretch trying to set herself against him?
¡°Okay, even if I believe you, what about that guy? He has a girlfriend! He¡¯s overly concerned for you and hangs out with you so much ¡ª what is it then, if he has no ulterior motives? How can you even admire such a person?¡±
If she could do it, he would really like to pry her skull open and see if anything was inside her head. How could she be oblivious to logic?
Mu Xiaoxiao froze. ¡°He¡ He¡¯s not like what you say! Can you stop your harmful spections?¡±
¡°Me? Harmful spection?¡± Yin Shaojieughed coldly. ¡°It¡¯s the truth! What else can you say? He¡¯s a person who not only has a girlfriend but also goes out of his way to care for another girl and meets up with her on the sly ¡ª do you really want to be friends with such a phndering man?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not like that! He doesn¡¯t have a girlfriend!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shouted anxiously.
She apologized to Lu Yichen in her heart for breaking her promise to keep this a secret, but she really had no choice but to expose it in such a situation.
¡°No girlfriend? Did he say that to you?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze was full of mockery.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°Yes, he said that to me. He was using this excuse to reject the girls who confessed to him.¡±
¡°And you believe him?¡± He fixated his cold gaze on her.
¡°I believe him.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him in confusion.
¡°Haha,¡± Yin Shaojieughed coldly. ¡°Just like that, and you believe him? Can you be any dumber?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao hated it when he said she was dumb. She red at him gloomily, stubbornly refusing to answer.
Scolding her just because they disagreed ¡ª she didn¡¯t want to speak to him anymore!
¡°Why do you not trust me when I say that he has a girlfriend then? Mu Xiaoxiao, how many days have you known him for? You¡¯re choosing to believe him over me?¡± Yin Shaojie was about to burst from anger, his fury-induced red-rimmed eyes ring unwaveringly at her stubborn face.
¡°Say something! Mu Xiaoxiao!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao puffed out her cheeks, huffing in anger, but her dark eyes brightened. ¡°I¡¯m not speaking to you anymore! You¡¯re unreasonable! You¡¯re the one who¡¯s biased against him!¡±
Yin Shaojie bellowed, ¡°Let me tell you that I¡¯ve seen him with his girlfriend before!¡±
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao froze. ¡°W-what?¡±
Instantly, she became confused.
Who should she believe?
She felt that Lu Yichen wouldn¡¯t lie to her because he had no reason to. However, she was Yin Shaojie¡¯s childhood friend, and her trust for him held no bounds. He was someone who would never lie to her even if the rest of the world did.
She became even more confused when she gazed into his eyes. She knew that he wasn¡¯t lying ¡ª was Lu Yichen lying to her then?
In a daze, she answered, ¡°Could there be a misunderstanding? My instincts tell me that he doesn¡¯t have a girlfriend. Maybe you saw it incorrectly; how can you be sure that the person you saw was his girlfriend?¡±
She was still defending that guy!
Yin Shaojie was going to go mad with anger. He wanted her to shut up so that she would stop saying things to defend Lu Yichen.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, I really want to gag you!¡± he said, gritting his teeth.
Mu Xiaoxiao froze and realize that his gaze was on her lips, looking as though he wanted to use his own to shut her up¡
H-He was joking, right?
However, his eyes didn¡¯t seem like they were joking!

¡°Y-you stop fooling around,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao flushed under his gaze and started to panic.
However, Yin Shaojie grabbed her jaw in one swift motion and leaned forward, looking like he really wanted to kiss her.
¡°Yin Shaojie!¡± she howled suddenly. ¡°What are you doing? Stop fooling around!¡± She blushed out of shyness as she red at him.
Even if he was going to joke around, this wasn¡¯t an appropriate thing to joke around with.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s elegant fingers stroked her lips gently as his gaze darkened. ¡°I¡¯m not fooling around. I don¡¯t like it when you say that guy¡¯s name, and I don¡¯t like how you¡¯re defending him!¡±
He was going to punish her for being disobedient.
¡°I-I didn¡¯t¡¡± She was not trying to defend Lu Yichen. She had only been trying to tell the truth!
His gaze felt hot, and the part of her he was staring at turned a little warm.
¡°Let go of me first¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao struggled feebly.
Instead ofplying, Yin Shaojie wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close. He lowered his handsome face and tried to kiss her.
¡°No!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao jumped in fright and covered her lips with her hand.
His lips pressed onto the back of her hand.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt her heart beat wildly as though it was going to leap from her throat at any moment.
The Yin Shaojie before her felt like he had transformed into a stranger. His unwavering gaze felt aggressive and void of his dandiacal yfulness.
Suddenly, she felt afraid of this Yin Shaojie.
The part where his lips were stered against her hand felt scalding as if it was going to go up in mes.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s blush reached the peak of her ears, and she red coquettishly at him with glistening eyes. ¡°Yin Shaojie! I¡¯m going to be angry.¡± Her voice was muffled from her hand over her mouth.
¡°I was angry first!¡± Yin Shaojie said justly. His gaze was resolute as he tried to pry her hand away as if it was a must to kiss her today.
He must be mad!
Mu Xiaoxiao was going to turn crazy from his forcefulness. Why was he suddenly like this? Trying to kiss her just because they disagreed¡
However, she was unable to ovee his strength, and her hand was shoved away from her mouth. A masculine aura engulfed her.
In her panic, Mu Xiaoxiao mysteriously gathered her strength and used it to push against his chest.
¡°Okay! I¡¯ll stop talking about him, so stop fooling around!¡± Her face was red as she said this, for she knew almost certainly that he was not really fooling around and really wanted to kiss her.
This jerk must be mental!
Yin Shaojie smirked sinisterly. ¡°Toote.¡±
His gaze was fixated on her lips like a blinding torch. Now that his desire was inmed, his heart craved frantically for the sweet taste of her lips. He would not cease even if she protested against it ¡ª he would continue, and nothing could stop him!
He was more direct this time. Hisrge hand slid onto the back of her head, and he leaned forward for the kiss.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s pupils dted. The hands that were originally pushing on his chest moved hastily to cover his lips.
Surprisingly, Yin Shaojie, that jerk, actually licked the palm of her hand!
Mu Xiaoxiao felt like her face was going to be thoroughly roasted from the heat soon.
¡°I said no!¡± She said, expressing her wishes gravely while ring at him sternly.
¡°Protest ineffective.¡± Yin Shaojie pulled her hand off, his sinister gaze seemingly burning her as his sexy lips spat out those words.
Mu Xiaoxiao was about to be driven to her grave by fury. How could he be so tyrannical!
Chapter 154
154 Not Reconciled
Trantor: AsStudios | Editor: AsStudios /As Studios
Usually, when he was tyrannical, it would only make her roll her eyes helplessly. Today, however, his tyranny made her heart pound. It was weird.
¡°Yin Shaojie!¡± she shouted with a little fury. It looked like she was really angry now.
Yin Shaojie looked at her sparkling eyes, noticing that her dark pupils were brighter and more beautiful than usual.
¡°You jerk!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao scolded. She aimed a kick at his leg and escaped from his embrace when he loosened his grip, breaking into a run away from him immediately.
Yin Shaojie froze momentarily and did not give chase.
¡°SH*T!¡± he muttered a curse. He kicked at a chair and it toppled over, but his anger was not fully vented. He swept all of the things on the table off to the floor.
D*mmit! D*mmit!
He scolded himself viciously, unclear whether it was directed to someone else or himself.
¡
Fearing that Yin Shaojie would catch up to her, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t dare to stop. She escaped to the level below and met Han Qiqing on the way, who was just walking out from the recreation room.
The both of them almost knocked into each other.
Han Qiqing jumped in fright and grabbed onto Mu¡¯s arm hurriedly. ¡°Xiaoxiao, what happened?¡±
She noticed Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s disturbed countenance and fury.
Han Qiqing nced at the upper floor subconsciously, and asked, puzzled, ¡°Did the Great Master Yin provoke you? Didn¡¯t you reconcile already?¡±
¡°Who wants to reconcile with him!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said angrily.
¡°¡¡± Han Qiqing understood at once that these two had gotten into an argument again and that Yin Shaojie had done something to make Mu Xiaoxiao furious.
¡°Tell me, how did he anger you?¡±
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao was inevitably reminded of what had happened. She blushed again but concealed it quickly. ¡°He¡¯s a jerk!¡± she said.
¡°Yes, yes, yes. He¡¯s a jerk. So what happened to the both of you up there?¡± Han Qiqing was dying of curiosity as she studied her reddened face.
What did Yin Shaojie do to make Mu Xiaoxiao so angry?
It was human nature to love gossip, and Han Qiqing was no exception. Furthermore, Mu Xiaoxiao was her best friend, and she was even more eager to know what had happened between her and Yin Shaojie.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao was, of course, not going to reveal that Yin Shaojie had gone bonkers and insisted on kissing her. She could never reveal such a thing.
Her dark eyes gazed at Han Qiqing as she hugged her arm and said, ¡°Little Qing, can I sleep over at your house tonight? I don¡¯t want to see him!¡±
¡°Yeah, sure¡¡± Han Qiqing nodded. Anyway, her family was aware that Xiaoxiao had returned, and they had wanted her to bring Xiaoxiao over to visit. Her parents liked Xiaoxiao very much and had constantly teased that they had wanted her as a daughter-inw in the past.
Han Qiqing realized something and looked at her in surprise. ¡°Wait, could it be that¡ You¡¯re living with him?¡±
¡°Yeah¡ My dad, Mama Yin and the rest of them insisted on me staying with him and sleeping on the same bed¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao sighed. She was still confused about why her dad had arranged an engagement with Yin Shaojie on a whim.
¡°You¡¯re cohabiting?! And sleeping on the same bed?!¡± Han Qiqing shouted in surprise.
Even though there was no one around, Mu Xiaoxiao still cautioned, ¡°Lower your voice.¡±
What if someone had been hiding and heard it?
¡°T-then have you¡ Done it?¡± Han Qiqing stammered while blushing.
¡°Done what?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao blinked her big dark eyes in confusion.

Han Qiqing gave an awkward cough. ¡°It¡¯s¡ That! The thing that guys and girls do when they sleep together!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face froze adorkably for three seconds before realization dawned on her. So she was talking about that¡
A blush flooded her face, and she shook Han Qiqing off. ¡°What are you saying! How could we have!¡±
However, Han Qiqing¡¯s words reminded her of those Durex condoms, which were probably still in the room, that Mama Yin had bought for them. If Han Qiqing got wind of this, her imagination would surely run wild.
Han Qiqing pointed at her suggestively. ¡°You¡¯re blushing. Even if you¡¯ve never done it, surely you¡¯ve done other things?¡±
¡°What other things? I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to turn away and walk off, but she had to spend the night at Han Qiqing¡¯s ce and couldn¡¯t cast her away and ignore her.
Grabbing onto Han Qiqing¡¯s hand, Mu Xiaoxiao pulled her in the direction of the outside. ¡°Let¡¯s go! School¡¯s about to end soon, right?¡±
She was worried that Yin Shaojie would appear if she loitered around.
She didn¡¯t know how she should act around him right now.
¡°Okay, I¡¯ll stop asking; let¡¯s go. I¡¯m hungry and we should go eat,¡± Han Qiqing said, but internally, she thought that she would be able to pry the truth from Mu Xiaoxiao when she slept over at night.
¡
After school, in the afternoon.
Everyone noticed that Yin Shaojie¡¯s sports car was parked outside as if he was waiting for someone. More than a few curious people stood around to watch, but there was still no sign of anyone getting in even in the evening when the crowd had dispersed.
At longst, Yin Shaojie¡¯s car drove off.
Upon returning to the luxurious condominium and entering the living room, Yin Shaojie called out, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao!¡±
He waited for a while, but there was no response.
He frowned and muttered, displeased, ¡°What the h*ll, she¡¯s not back yet?¡±
There were only a few rooms in the condominium. He searched them hurriedly, but there was no sign of Mu Xiaoxiao.
Coming out of the bedroom, he took out his phone and called Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s number.
¡°Ring¡ Ring¡ Ring¡ Click!¡±
He was suddenly hung up on.
Yin Shaojie froze momentarily before looking at his phone furiously. ¡°F*ck! How dare you hang up on me, you wretch!¡± ¡±
Was she still angry?
Shouldn¡¯t he be the angry one instead?
If she wasn¡¯ting home, then so be it! Yin Shaojie thought angrily in his heart. He threw himself onto the sofa and scooped up the iPad on the coffee table, starting to y games.
Outside the window, the sky gradually darkened.
Yin Shaojie felt hungry, and his stomach grumbled in protest for food. However, instead of getting up, he looked at the entrance of the house.
Was that wretch really noting home?
He thought about the ces that Xiaoxiao could have gone to, and there was nowhere else but the Yin residence.
Should he call home to ask about it discreetly?
Yin Shaojie pondered for two seconds before whipping out his phone and calling home.
It rang once before someone picked up.
¡°Young Master, is anything the matter?¡± The person who had picked up was the house butler who sounded like an English gentleman.
¡°Uh¡ That..¡± Yin Shaojie faltered, a rare urrence. He couldn¡¯t ask if Mu Xiaoxiao was at home, for if she was not, wouldn¡¯t his parents know that he had argued with Mu Xiaoxiao then?
¡°It¡¯s nothing really. I just want to ask about something.¡± He drummed his fingers against the sofa, considering his next words. ¡°Xiaoxiao wants pigeon soup from home. Get someone to cook some for her.¡±
¡°Alright. Should I send it over to Young Master¡¯s condominium?¡± the butler asked.
¡°Yeah, sent it over.¡± Yin Shaojie hung up after he spoke, his expression turning cold.
If Mu Xiaoxiao was at the Yin residence, the butler would have said that they would cook some for Xiaoxiao to have there. This meant that Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t at the Yin residence.

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
As the sky darkened, Yin Shaojie¡¯s became increasingly frustrated. Someone from the Yin family had already sent the cooked pigeon soup over, and they also included some other dishes.
Yin Shaojie studied the abundant number of dishes on the table. Most of them were Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s favorites.
She had lived in his residence for a while in the past and had mixed well with the domestic helpers. This led to the cook memorizing her favorite dishes, who would often specially cook what she liked.
Mu Xiaoxiao was charismatic and could capture the hearts of people easily, even when she was not aware of it.
Yin Shaojie felt his frustration increase even more. His dark inky eyes swept to the clock on the wall. It was already way past dinner time, but Mu Xiaoxiao was still nowhere to be seen.
D*mmit! Was she not nning oning home?
Yin Shaojie really wanted to haul her a** home and spank her.
Even if they had argued, how could she run away from home without a word?
He couldn¡¯t restrain his racing mind from thinking about where she was and who she was with. Could she have gone to find that Lu guy?
The vein on Yin Shaojie¡¯s temple pulsated at this thought.
She had better not!
If she still dared to hang out with that guy in this situation, he would surely¡
SH*T!
Where was she now! Who was she with!
Yin Shaojie felt as though his sanity was on the verge of copse. Why did he find it hard to be calm when things involved that wretch?
Sometimes, he really felt that Mu Xiaoxiao was his Achilles heel!
He looked at the delicious food that filled the table. It was still hot, and the air around him wafted with the smell of delicious food. It made his stomach rumble with hunger. If Mu Xiaoxiao was here, she would have been very excited, but Yin Shaojie had no appetite at all.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
Yin Shaojie grabbed his phone swiftly, but seeing that it wasn¡¯t Mu Xiaoxiao, his face drooped in disappointment.
However, the person who called was Han Qiqing. He let the phone ring a few more times before picking it up.
Han Qiqing started grumbling as soon as she spoke. ¡°Great Master Yin, why did you only pick up the phone now?¡±
¡°Hurry up with what you want to say!¡± Yin Shaojie said impatiently. It was already magnanimous enough of him to pick up the call when he was in a bad mood.
¡°What are you so fierce for? I thought that you might be worried about Xiaoxiao, so I called you up. Alright then, since you don¡¯t want to know, I¡¯ll not disturb you any longer. Bye bye!¡± Han Qiqing said on purpose, but waited for Yin Shaojie to respond and didn¡¯t hang up the phone.
As expected, Yin Shaojie shouted, ¡°Wait! Is Xiaoxiao with you?¡±
¡°Yep!¡± Han Qiqing chimed, sounding a little joyful. She knew that Yin Shaojie would still be worrying about Mu Xiaoxiao, and sure enough, she was right.
¡°When is sheing back?¡± Yin Shaojie asked.
Han Qiqing smiled as she said, ¡°About that¡ She says she¡¯s not going back anymore. From now on, she¡¯s going to stay at my ce. Rx, I will take care of her properly.¡±
¡°What did you say?¡± Yin Shaojie gritted his teeth, the vein in his temple jumping violently. ¡°I dare her to note back! Get her on the phone!¡±
Han Qiqing replied, ¡°I can¡¯t. Didn¡¯t you call her just now? She cklisted your number right after she hung up on you. Xiaoxiao doesn¡¯t know that I¡¯m calling you in private. Say, didn¡¯t you already make up? Why are you arguing again? Did you do any outrageous things to her?¡±

¡°Did you say that she¡¯s cklisted me?¡± Yin Shaojie asked, enunciating each and every word.
Han Qiqing could feel his fury even over the phone. She replied a little awkwardly, ¡°Yeah¡ That¡¯s why I¡¯m curious. What did you do to make her so angry?¡±
Yin Shaojie pinched his brows but did not reply. He was also confused as to why he had acted the way he had in the office earlier; it was as though he had been possessed.
However, he hadn¡¯t thought that things would be this serious!
He had only wanted to kiss her. And so what if he did? Did it warrant such fury?
He really didn¡¯t understand what girls were thinking.
Yin Shaojie really wanted to ask Han Qiqing how girls thought. There was no harm done in just a kiss. Moreover, weren¡¯t there numerous girls who wanted him to kiss them?
However, he dismissed that thought and didn¡¯t ask.
When he didn¡¯t speak, she had no choice but to continue, ¡°Actually, Xiaoxiao is only temporarily blinded by anger, so it¡¯ll blow over soon enough. Let her sleep over here tonight; we¡¯ve not had a sleepover and talked in a long time. Still, you should think about something quickly to coax her back.¡±
Unexpectedly, Yin Shaojie became upset at these words and harrumphed tsunderely, ¡°Why should I coax her? She has forgotten that she was the one who lied to me first! I haven¡¯t even forgiven her, yet she¡¯s angry with me now. I don¡¯t care whether she¡¯sing back or not anymore!¡±
His anger rose as he thought about her cklisting him.
Most importantly, she was angry because he had wanted to kiss her!
Did she despise him so much?
So what if he had really kissed her? They were currently engaged, and she was his wife. Wasn¡¯t it natural for him to kiss her?
Yin Shaojie felt the frustration in his chest grow as he thought about her rejection, her repulsion at being kissed by him.
Han Qiqing was speechless.
She suddenly didn¡¯t know what to say any longer. This was the epitome of a lovers brawl. Both of their emotions were clouded by anger, and none of them wanted to yield first.
Alright then, things were up to both of them now. She wanted to see who would yield first.
Han Qiqing thought, I bet half a yuan that it would be Yin Shaojie who yields first!
¡°Alright, I¡¯ve got nothing more to say. Do as you see fit then. Bye-bye,¡± Han Qiqing said before hanging up.
Yin Shaojie threw his phone onto the coffee table, his handsome face dark.
He swept a nce at the table of food and walked over. ¡°If you¡¯re noting back to eat, I¡¯ll have it myself then!¡±
Sitting down, he picked up a piece of red braised pork with his chopsticks. This was Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s favorite.
He managed to scoop up two mouthfuls of rice before pausing his chopsticks. He remembered something when they were young ¡ª he had refused to eat, and she had been beside him, coaxing him. She had been standing on a chair as her little hand picked up a piece of red braised pork unskillfully, pretending to revel in the delicious smell of the meat. She had made such cute noises, saying that it smelled so good, asking if he wanted some, even just a mouthful.
A wave of frustration hit him again. That stifling feeling felt even harder to get rid of.
Looking at the table of food, his nose picked up on the aroma of good food. It smelled delicious and appetite inducing, but he could not stomach it.
Food simply did not taste good without her to eat it with him.
The two scoops of rice he had stuffed in his mouth suddenly felt like wax under his tongue, and it was hard to swallow.
However, he forced himself to swallow it. mming his chopsticks down onto the table, he got up, took his keys near the front door, and went out.
The door banged shut.
The lights in the house were still lit as if awaiting their masters¡¯ return.

At the luxurious gigantic vi of the Hans.
It was natural for the rich to have private bathrooms. Mu Xiaoxiao emerged from one after her shower d in pajamas with bunnies printed on. She walked over and sat down on her bed before scooping up her phone from the bedside cab.
She swiped open her screen. There were no messages or calls.
She frowned gloomily and muttered, ¡°Yin Shaojie, you jerk¡¡±
It was already ten o¡¯clock, and she hadn¡¯t gone home yet ¡ª why was there not a single call from him!
Even if she had not picked up his call and cklisted him, couldn¡¯t he be smart about it like Lu Yichen and use another phone to call her?
He had no sincerity at all!
Angry, Mu Xiaoxiao threw her phone back onto the cab but kept ncing at it from time to time.
Just then, Han Qiqing carried a te in.
¡°Xiaoxiao, time for some fruit! Auntie Cheng asked if there was anything that you wanted to eat, like tong sui or something, and she said she¡¯ll make it for you.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need. I don¡¯t feel like eating,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao answered, depressed. Her chest felt suffocated. How could she have an appetite?
¡°Have some fruit then.¡±
Han Qiqing had already showered and was wearing pajamas as well. It was the same type as Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s but in a different color. Wearing these made them look like twins, which Han Qiqing liked especially.
The te was filled with sliced fruit speared with toothpicks. Mu Xiaoxiao nced at it and chose a slice of honey peach.
The honey peach was really sweet and eased the sadness in her heart a little.
No wonder people said that eating sweet things when they were upset would make them happy.
Because Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to eat tong sui, both of themid on the bed after finishing the fruit.
Han Qiqing turned over to look at her. Her eyes were wide with curiosity as she asked, ¡°Xiaoxiao, what happened between you and Yin Shaojie? Tell me!¡±
Now was the time for a heart-to-heart talk!
Mu Xiaoxiao said gloomily, ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk about it.¡±
She gazed at the ceiling. Her mind was full of thoughts. What was Yin Shaojie doing right now? Was he out ying, or was he alone in their bedroom? Or was her absence causing him joy, for he could now have the entire bedroom to himself?
Yin Shaojie, you jerk! Mu Xiaoxiao scolded him internally again.
Seeing that she refused to talk about it, Han Qiqing felt a little regretful but did not press the matter. ¡°What do you want to talk about then?¡± she asked instead.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart was confused.
She turned around suddenly and asked Han Qiqing, ¡°Oh yeah, you should know about this, right? What caused the conflict between Yin Shaojie and Lu Yichen?¡±
She had wanted to know the story since a long time ago! However, no one was willing to tell her a thing. She knew that Han Qiqing would know the details since she liked Lu Yichen.
Han Qiqing nodded. ¡°I know about it.¡±
¡°Hurry up and tell me then!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said hastily.
¡°About this¡¡± Han Qiqing hugged a pillow and looked at her. ¡°Actually, there¡¯s nothing much to it anyway. In my opinion¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao could take the suspense no longer. ¡°Can you just tell me the main point?¡±
¡°Okay, okay, okay. It¡¯s like this: There was a boy who provoked Yin Shaojie, so he punished him and wanted to expel him. It happened that the boy was Lu Yichen¡¯s neighbor, so Lu Yichen defended him, pitting himself against Yin Shaojie, but you know Yin Shaojie¡¯s temper ¡ª he can be so despotic, and no one can stand up to him¡¡±

Chapter 159: Defending Him
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°However, Lu Yichen¡¯s academics were superb. The school had spent a lot of money to invite him over, and St. Maria Institute had also wanted him. Our school, of course, couldn¡¯t expel him. In the end, only the boy was expelled, but Yin Shaojie has harbored something against Lu Yichen ever since.¡±
After her simple exnation of things, her mouth twitched as she said, ¡°Say, don¡¯t you think that Yin Shaojie went overboard? He acts sowlessly in school and caused someone to be expelled just because of something trivial. He¡¯s so narrow-minded!¡±
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao frowned in disagreement. ¡°Do you know what that boy did to anger him then?¡± she asked.
¡°No, I don¡¯t,¡± Han Qiqing said as she shook her head.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat up suddenly and looked at her unhappily. ¡°Then, you can¡¯t jump to conclusions just like that! How do you know that it was a small matter? And to say that Jie is narrow-minded ¡ª he¡¯s not that kind of person!¡±
Even though Yin Shaojie was a little tyrannical and rascally at times, he was not a narrow-minded person.
Han Qiqing sat up as well, and she suddenly looked at her and said suggestively, ¡°Why are you so protective of him? Aren¡¯t you at loggerheads with him right now? I thought that you would condemn him together with me.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao blushed. ¡°I was discussing the matter objectively!¡±
Hearing others speak badly about Yin Shaojie made her ufortable and angry.
They didn¡¯t understand Yin Shaojie. How could they criticize him like that?
She was annoyed at Han Qiqing especially, for they had already known each other for a few years. How could she not know Yin Shaojie¡¯s real personality?
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little angry.
Other people could misunderstand Yin Shaojie, but Han Qiqing had been their friend for many years. How could she!
Seeing Mu Xiaoxiao cheeks, which were puffed up in anger, Han Qiqing thought she looked cute, and she couldn¡¯t help but poke them with her fingers. ¡°Xiaoxiao, what¡¯s wrong? Are you angry?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked into her eyes and said seriously, ¡°Little Qing, Yin Shaojie isn¡¯t what you said he is. Can you stop misunderstanding him?¡±
¡°Okay, I got it. I¡¯ll reflect on it, okay?¡± Han Qiqing rubbed her nose embarrassedly. She realized that her judgment had been biased because she liked Lu Yichen.
Han Qiqing pulled her down to aying position and said, ¡°Actually, guys are kinda childish sometimes. They don¡¯t see eye to eye over trivial matters. Lu Yichen did nothing wrong and was only trying to defend his friend. Even if that boy did something wrong, it didn¡¯t warrant expulsion.¡±
Not only was it very humiliating to be expelled from Shangde High, but it was also hard to find another school that was better than it.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t reply but turned her head to nce at the phone on the bedside cab.
Suddenly, the phone emitted the sound of bells.
It was a message notification!
She was overjoyed and lunged for her phone.
Han Qiqing jumped in fright at the sudden movement. Patting her chest, she said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Xiaoxiao, what are you doing? You scared me by jumping up like that so suddenly. What¡¯s on your phone?¡±
She sat up as well and saw the smile on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face. Seeming to understand something, she teased suggestively, ¡°I knew it. You¡¯ve been waiting for Yin Shaojie to contact you, right? ckmailing him but still longing for him to contact you ¡ª what¡¯s this called¡ Oh yeah, the mouth may say no, but the body betrays it? Hahaha!¡±

¡°What are you saying? That¡¯s not me!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao aimed a kick in her general direction before opening the message.
Han Qiqing saw her excited expression turn cloudy.
¡°What happened? Did Yin Shaojie say something to make you angry again?¡± She leaned forward curiously.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was unhappy as she threw her phone to the side, muttering, ¡°Yin Shaojie, you jerk¡¡±
Han Qiqing picked up the phone and realized that the person who sent the message was not Yin Shaojie but Lu Yichen, who was texting her about the picture.
This made Han Qiqing¡¯s expression change a little. ¡°Xiaoxiao, are you close with Lu Yichen?¡±
¡°We¡¯re okay,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao replied gloomily.
Han Qiqing seemed to understand something andughed, ¡°Haha, I believe it now! You really have no feelings for Lu Yichen!¡±
She could finally let go of the doubt weighing on her heart.
After all, Mu Xiaoxiao was her best friend, and she didn¡¯t want them to like the same person at the same time.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her in confusion. ¡°Haven¡¯t I already told you that? Why do all of you keep thinking that I like him? I only admire him and want to be his friend. Is this not normal?¡±
¡°It¡¯s normal, it¡¯s normal.¡± Han Qiqing nodded and moved towards her. Smiling, she said, ¡°I believe youpletely now.¡±
¡°Why are you only believing me now?¡±
¡°Because¡¡± Han Qiqing took the phone in her hands and smiled at her. ¡°Because the one you like is Yin Shaojie!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face slowly reddened. She immediately retorted, ¡°No, I don¡¯t!¡±
Han Qiqingughed conspiratorially, ¡°Still denying it? You were happy because you thought that Yin Shaojie had sent a message to you but was disappointed when it was not him. This means that not only do you not like Lu Yichen, but it also shows that you like¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao covered her mouth, preventing her from continuing. ¡°I said, I don¡¯t like him!¡± she said loudly.
However, her burning red face gave her no credibility.
With an angry expression, Mu Xiaoxiao grabbed her neck and threatened as she red at her, ¡°Han Qiqing! If you say that again, I¡¯m going to strangle you!¡±
Han Qiqing quickly put up her hands in surrender. ¡°Okay, okay, okay, I¡¯ll stop. Your majesty, my queen, please have mercy!¡±
It was only then that Mu Xiaoxiao released her.
Han Qiqing was confused, however, and asked, ¡°But aren¡¯t you engaged?¡±
¡°That¡¯s¡ Our parents forced us into it. I wasn¡¯t willing to, and Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t happy about it either,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said before scolding Yin Shaojie for being a flirt internally.
¡°Yin Shaojie loves chasing after hot chicks so much that I doubt he¡¯ll give up his entire harem just for me!¡±
Han Qiqing tutted, ¡°Look at how sour you sound.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shot her a warning nce. Raising her hands, which were formed into ws, she mimed a strangling motion. ¡°I dare you to say it again!¡±
Han Qiqing raised her hands in surrender.
Suddenly, she froze, and her face changed to one of astonishment. ¡°Eh?¡±
¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her uprehendingly.
Han Qiqing jumped down from the bed suddenly and ran to the balcony.
Her balcony faced the vi¡¯s entrance, and one could see the outside¡¯s entire horizon from there.
Then, Mu Xiaoxiao heard her surprised voice shout, ¡°Xiaoxiao! There¡¯s a car below, and it looks like Yin Shaojie¡¯s! Hurry up ande over quick!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao froze, and her heart started to pound.

Han Qiqing urged her, ¡°Xiaoxiao, hurry up ande over here! That¡¯s Yin Shaojie¡¯s car, right? A sapphire blue Bugatti.¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s car was a sapphire blue Bugatti.
Mu Xiaoxiao finally moved. Coming down from the bed, she hurried over.
Han Qiqing was smiling with her lips pursed and dragged her over to stand beside her. Pointing outside, she said, ¡°Look there, at the entrance.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao anxiously craned her neck to look. However, it was already dark outside. She looked at where Han Qiqing was pointing with the help of the vi¡¯s lighting, but she could not see anything, especially not a sapphire blue sports car.
¡°Where is it?¡±
Unexpectedly, Han Qiqing suddenlyughed out loud, holding her stomach. ¡°Hahahaha! You¡¯ve been tricked by me! Look at how anxious you are! You¡¯re really wishing for Yin Shaojie toe and find you!¡±
In an instant, Mu Xiaoxiao realized that she had been had. Her face turned serious as she howled, ¡°HAN ¡ª QI ¡ª QING! I¡¯M GOING TO MURDER YOU!¡±
Seeing her about to lunge over, Han Qiqing ran away quickly and jumped onto the bed, surrendering. ¡°I was just trying to test you. Do you understand your feelings now?¡±
¡°I really don¡¯t!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao repeated and red at Han Qiqing angrily.
The both of them chased each other around the room.
Han Qiqing didn¡¯t understand what she was being so crabby about, and feeling that there was no point in forcing it, she stopped teasing her.
¡°Alright, I¡¯m not going to mess with you anymore. Come up here and sleep.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao red at her, but she still walked over and got onto the bed.
The both of them resumed their earlier positions. Han Qiqing wasying down, a hand propping her head up. Smiling, she said, ¡°Let¡¯s change the topic. Xiaoxiao, what kind of guy do you like?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed, ¡°Just not someone like Yin Shaojie!¡±
She would never like such a flirt!
Seeing her like that, Han Qiqing pursed her lips into a smile. She continued, ¡°What kind of guys do you like then? Say it.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao put both her hands behind her head and stared at the ceiling, thinking seriously.
¡°I like¡ The type of guy who is smart, has an earnest personality, and is thoughtful towards me. He will also care for only me and consider no other girl. He has beautiful eyes with depth that look as if they could see through people, and no matter what I tell him, he¡¯ll understand me¡¡±
Listening to her description, Han Qiqing¡¯s expression gradually turned unhappy.
She looked at Mu Xiaoxiao nkly and said, ¡°Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re describing Lu Yichen, don¡¯t you think?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao froze momentarily, startled. ¡°Really?¡±
Han Qiqing nodded. Her expression was heavy as she said, ¡°Lu Yichen¡¯s like that! He¡¯s almost exactly as what you¡¯ve described.¡±
¡°You seem like¡ You know him well?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her and asked.
She could see from her expression that Han Qiqing really, really liked Lu Yichen, and mentioning him in such a light revealed it in her eyes as well.
Han Qiqing chuckled bitterly, ¡°Actually¡ I don¡¯t really understand him. However, he¡¯s a really good person. Even though he looks cold on the surface, he¡¯s actually very gentle, but he doesn¡¯t show it to just anyone.¡±
Thus, she extremely desired to be that one person he treated especially well.
¡°Yeah, he¡¯s a good person.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her head in agreement.
¡°His background is the only thing that isn¡¯t good¡ Can you believe it? If he had a background like Yin Shaojie¡¯s, he wouldn¡¯t be any lesser than him!¡± Han Qiqing said agitatedly.

Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little rueful after hearing this. After all, one¡¯s background was fated, not something that one could change.
Han Qiqing grumbled sadly, ¡°Why are the heavens so unfair¡¡±
If Lu Yichen came from an illustrious family, they would be well-matched in terms of social status and might have grown up together like Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao as childhood friends. Their feelings could be cultivated slowly, and they could end up together as a pair of lovers who were the object of people¡¯s envy.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her. Without a hint of doubt in her eyes, she said, ¡°Even though he doesn¡¯t have the best background, I believe that he can use his own skills and be the best in his field!¡±
Han Qiqing froze momentarily before meeting her gaze. ¡°Yeah! I believe in that too!¡± She nodded.
They looked at each other and smiled.
¡°Okay, let¡¯s go to sleep.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pulled the nket on top of herself.
¡°Okay, then I¡¯m going to switch off the light,¡± Han Qiqing answered before turning off the tablemp on the bedside cab.
She was a little hazy, feeling like she had something to tell Mu Xiaoxiao but had forgotten what she had wanted to say.
Never mind, she would tell her when she remembered.
¡°Goodnight, Xiaoxiao.¡±
¡°Yeah, goodnight.¡±
Both of them fell asleep.
¡
She felt like she was in a dream.
The room looked fuzzy as if she were in a dreand. It seemed like someone had created a romantic atmosphere here.
She was lying on the bed. A handsome figure looked down at her and said in a maic voice, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, since you¡¯re a naughty child, you¡¯re going to be punished.¡±
What?
She was groggy and wanted to look towards the voice, but she was kissed by his lowered head.
The contact felt real, and she froze.
S-She had been kissed?
Her brain thought this, and she opened her eyes to see the person who had kissed her pressing on top of her. It was Yin Shaojie!
Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face had on its trademark bewitching smile, looking unruly as usual.
It felt a little ticklish. The thing against her lips was soft, and the gentle strokes against it feltfortable as though it was coaxing her.
Were this dude¡¯s lips so soft?
She looked adorkable as she thought this and had no sense to push him away. She then saw Yin Shaojie smile sinisterly, and something hot and wet pushed past her lips into her mouth.
Eh! She was shocked. I-it was his tongue?
Her face reddened instantly, but the ¡°devil¡± continued his outrageous actions, his hot tongue winding around her little one, rolling it about.
When their lips had finally parted, there was even a spit-trail connecting their mouths.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s inky dark eyes stared at her. There was heat in his gaze and wickedness in his pupils as he said, ¡°Xiaoxiao, did you know that your little lips are so sweet that I¡¯m addicted to them?¡±
Her face reddened to the top of her ears, and she looked at him bashfully.
How could he say something so embarrassing!
¡°Yeah.¡± Yin Shaojie lowered his head, his maic voice making her forget to breathe. Mu Xiaoxiao felt like her heart was going to explode!
His beautiful lips pressed down again. ¡°I¡¯m going to kiss you again¡¡±
¡°Wait, wait¡¡±
Blushing, she wanted him to stop, but his handsome face gradually leaned towards hers¡
Back to reality.
¡°Wait ¡ª¡± Mu Xiaoxiao woke from her dream suddenly with an unfading blush.

Han Qiqing, who was sharing a bed with her, was awoken by her movements. Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she looked at Mu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting up, and mumbled, ¡°Xiaoxiao, what¡¯s wrong? Did you have a bad dream?¡±
Sitting on the bed with her head buried between her knees, Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head.
It wasn¡¯t a nightmare but an erotic dream.
Her exquisite face reddened again at the thought of it.
What was weird was that the dream felt really real. She tingled with the feeling of having been kissed.
Mu Xiaoxiao touched her lips gently and couldn¡¯t help but thought back to the dream. So, it turned out that Yin Shaojie¡¯s frivolous expression could be so mesmerizing when he kissed people?
Her heart felt as though there was a little deer mming around in it. She could even hear the thud of her heartbeat.
She felt like she was going to go mad. How could she have had such an embarrassing dream?
It was one thing to be kissed by someone, but why did the person who kissed her have to be Yin Shaojie!
Just as Mu Xiaoxiao was lost in the depths of her romantic thoughts, a clueless Han Qiqing sat up, lunged over, and hugged her. Patting her back, she said, ¡°Don¡¯t be scared. I¡¯m here. It¡¯s just a bad dream; you¡¯ll forget it soon enough.¡±
When Han Qiqing¡¯s eyes cleared, she finally saw Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s state clearly.
She was shocked. ¡°Woah! Xiaoxiao, why is your face so red?¡±
¡°R-really?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was extremely embarrassed. Not wanting anyone to find out that she had had that kind of dream, she hurriedly put on an act and used her little hand to fan her face, feigning as she said, ¡°It might be the heat. Don¡¯t lean against me; I¡¯m getting up.¡±
She pushed Han Qiqing away and escaped to the bathroom hastily.
Luckily, Han Qiqing had just woken up, so her reaction time was slow. She had not caught on to what had happened and did not think much of the matter.
Mu Xiaoxiao stayed in the bathroom for almost 30 minutes waiting for the redness to subside and came out only after she had finished washing up.
Han Qiqing was still on the bed and had only just truly woken up. She stretched and got off the bed.
¡°Xiaoxiao, what do you want for breakfast?¡± she said to Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°Anything.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao still felt a little embarrassed. Afraid that she would pick up on it, she avoided her gaze and headed straight to the bed.
Han Qiqing entered the bathroom.
Just then, a domestic helper knocked on the door, carrying the freshlyundered clothes Mu Xiaoxiao had worn the previous day, and asked her what she would like for breakfast.
Even though Han Qiqing dilly-dallied, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s dream had luckily made both of them wake up earlier, and they were in time for school.
After breakfast, the Han¡¯s chauffeur sent them to school.
The entrance of the elite Shangde High was crowded with people.
It was Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s first time seeing so many people, and she was confused. ¡°Did something happen?¡±
Han Qiqing came out from the car and said excitedly, ¡°I don¡¯t know, but let¡¯s go check it out!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was dragged along by her. She saw that the crowd had surrounded a shy silver sports car.
Han Qiqing¡¯s eyes lit up as she shook Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s arm agitatedly. ¡°Wow! That¡¯s thetest limited-edition Lamborghini! Do you know how much it costs! Eh, isn¡¯t that Yin Shaojie in the car?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao froze. Before she could take a look for herself, she overheard a conversation beside her.
¡°What¡¯s going on? Isn¡¯t that Bai Meijiao? Why is she in Young Master Jie¡¯s car? Did they reconcile?¡±

¡°How can that be! Young Master Jie never goes back to the same woman twice!¡±
¡°Oh yeah, isn¡¯t Young Master Jie¡¯stest woman Mu Xiaoxiao from Year One¡¯s ss S? Wasn¡¯t he treating her so well before? Why has he changed his target now?¡±
¡°Humph, I guess Mu Xiaoxiao did something to p*ss Young Master Jie off and probably got dumped.¡±
The people who said this had no clue that Mu Xiaoxiao was right beside them.
A girl, reveling in schadenfreude, remarked, ¡°I knew this was going to happen. Mu Xiaoxiao thought so highly of herself, but Young Master Jie would never give up everything just to be with her. She¡¯s too naive!¡±
¡°I know, right?¡± the others echoed.
¡°Oh yeah, I heard that in order to seduce Young Master Jie, Mu Xiaoxiao made a special trip to Korea for facial stic surgery. Her breasts, too, are fake¡¡±
Han Qiqing could stand this no longer. Her face was dark as she red at them. ¡°What are you bbering about! Shut up!¡±
The girls froze and finally realized that the subject of their gossip was right beside them. Scared, they took a few steps back.
Han Qiqing fumed, ¡°Who are you using of having stic surgery? Let me tell you that Xiaoxiao is a natural-born beauty!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao tugged on her. ¡°Forget it. Just ignore them.¡±
Han Qiqing was still angry and didn¡¯t want to let this slide.
Just then, Yin Shaojie walked over with Bai Meijiao in his embrace.
The crowd was shocked. No one had imagined that a meeting between the old love and a new sweetheart would ur. This was too exciting!
Yin Shaojie¡¯s good-looking face wore a charming and elegant smile. His attitude was dandiacal, acting as though nothing had ever happened before. He strolled over to Mu Xiaoxiao with a natural gait and greeted her with a grin.
¡°Morning!¡±
Bai Meijiao looked at Mu Xiaoxiao. She was smiling coquettishly and greeted her softly, ¡°Good morning.¡±
Han Qiqing shot a worried nce at Mu Xiaoxiao and said to Yin Shaojie angrily, ¡°How could you do this!¡±
¡°What did I do?¡± Yin Shaojie was all smiles and feigned cluelessness at her usation.
¡°You!¡± Han Qiqing was furious. He was engaged to Mu Xiaoxiao ¡ª how dare he hold another girl in front of her!
Mu Xiaoxiao held her hand back, keeping her excitement in check.
She looked at Yin Shaojie and stered on a reluctant smile. ¡°Morning.¡±
Earlier, she had dreamed of being kissed by him tenderly and intensely, but now, she had to witness him smiling radiantly while cuddling another woman. She felt as though things between them had gone back to square one.
However, she could not understand why her chest felt so tight as if there was arge stone pressing on it.
Even though Han Qiqing was trying to stand up for her, Mu Xiaoxiao felt that there was nothing to defend against. Yin Shaojie¡¯s attitude towards her had not changed at all ¡ª he was still taking the initiative toe up and greet her with a smile, and that smile still held a hint of mockery and teasing.
He was treating her just like before, and nothing had changed.
However, this ¡®normal¡¯ treatment made her feel an indescribable strangeness. It was as though something had changed, but she had no words to express it.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes studied her and her smile for a while, and his lips pursed slightly.
¡°We¡¯ll be heading in first.¡± With that, he walked into school with his arm around Bai Meijiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao was frozen to the spot, her heart feeling curiously devoid of something.
¡°Xiaoxiao, are you all right?¡± Han Qiqing looked at her worriedly. In her eyes, Mu Xiaoxiao looked sorrowful.
Han Qiqing said indignantly, ¡°That jerk probably did this just to make you jealous.¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t feel like answering her, especially with all these people around, who were either delighting in her misfortune or making fun of her. She felt really ufortable.
¡°Let¡¯s go in too.¡± She dragged Han Qiqing past the school gates.
She thought that she would feel more rxed after she was out of sight of the crowd. However, the stifling feeling in her chest did not cease.
Why was she feeling this way? Having never felt like this before, Mu Xiaoxiao was really confused.
Could she really be jealous, just like Han Qiqing had said?
No, no! How could she be?
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head, dispelling this thought quickly.
Why should she be jealous over Yin Shaojie!
He could hang out with whoever he wanted. Why would she be jealous of him now, when she had never been before?
Han Qiqing studied her as she shook her head unfathomably, frowned, and muttered something iprehensible under her breath. She hugged her arm and said concernedly, ¡°Xiaoxiao! Don¡¯t be depressed. You can tell me anything that¡¯s making you unhappy, and we can scold that b*stard, Yin Shaojie, together!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head and met her eyes, smiling suddenly. ¡°Why should we scold him?¡±
Han Qiqing froze. ¡°That¡ He was deliberately making you jealous¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s lips curled up, looking confident and at ease as she replied, ¡°I¡¯m not jealous at all! Why should I be?¡±
¡°But¡¡± Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t understand her anymore. She had looked upset just moments ago ¡ª how had she regained herposure so suddenly?
Mu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and pushed away all of her confusing thoughts aside, refusing to think about them.
She beamed, looking natural and rxed, and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you before? We¡¯re not really engaged, so it doesn¡¯t matter to me who he is with at all.¡±
¡°But I feel¡ That you¡¯re not actually feeling that way¡¡± Han Qiqing was still worried about her.
Mu Xiaoxiao pretended not to hear her. Once they reached the Year One¡¯s building, she let go of her hand. ¡°Okay, ss is starting soon. I¡¯m going to go to my ss.¡±
Before Han Qiqing could say more things to console her, she had already disappeared in the blink of an eye.
¡
All eyes turned to look at Mu Xiaoxiao when she stepped into ss.
She pretended not to notice and walked over to her seat.
¡°Xiaoxiao¡¡± Yu Zhe looked at her in concern, seeming like he wanted to say something.
Mu Xiaoxiao put her finger to her lips and smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t say anything and let me have some time alone, okay?¡± she said.
Yu Zhe nodded and took out a packet of strawberry milk from his desk drawer.
¡°For you.¡±
¡°Thanks!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s smile finally showed a ray of genuine happiness. It was truly a blessed thing when someone remembered what she liked.
She had just poked the straw into the packet and taken a sip when there was amotion in her ss. Many of her ssmates turned and stared at the person who had appeared in the doorway.
¡°Why is Bai Meijiao in our ss?¡±
Upon hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao froze before turning around to see for herself.
Sure enough, a beaming Bai Meijiao walked in, dogged by another girl who carried her bag for her.
¡°Hi everyone, I¡¯ve been transferred to ss S from today onwards. Please take care of me.¡±
With that said, Bai Meijiao headed in Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s direction.
The entire ss looked as though they were anticipating a face-off between the two of them.
A mere aisle separated Bai Meijiao and Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s seats. The former smirked at Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°Young Master Jie is so nice to me. I only mentioned that I felt like transferring to ss S, and he obliged immediately.¡±

Chapter 166: Chasing Xiaoxiao Out of ss S
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao had originally wanted to ignore her, but her words were obviously said to provoke her. If she hadn¡¯t retaliated, wouldn¡¯t she seem like she was afraid of her?
¡°Oh, really?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled disapprovingly and said to Bai Meijiao, ¡°You should cherish it then. Who knows if he¡¯s only allowing you in here only because he¡¯s in a good mood ¡ª won¡¯t he kick you out when he isn¡¯t in one, then?¡±
¡°You!¡± Bai Meijiao¡¯s face turned dark from the retort. What Mu Xiaoxiao had said was the truth, but this truth rendered her in a buffoonish light, and as someone who could be cast off at any time, she could not stand this.
Young Master Jie had a widely known reputation for never going back to the same woman. Once he broke up with a girl, he would never reconcile with them. However, she had been the exception this time.
This made her feel really pleased. She felt like she was an extremely special person to Young Master Jie!
So, actually, Young Master Jie still liked her and had only broken up with her in a fit for some reason. He must have been thinking about her constantly ¡ª if not, would he have cast aside his principles and reconciled with her?
Right, this must be so!
Also, she had hinted to Young Master Jie more than once that she would have liked to be transferred to ss S before their break up, but he hadn¡¯t helped her then. This time, it seemed like he had granted her wish instantly because she had expressed an attitude ofpensation for what she had done wrong.
When Bai Meijiao thought of these things, her anger gradually subsided. She lifted her chin haughtily and sneered coldly. ¡°How dare you speak to me like this? Mu Xiaoxiao, why are you still acting as though you are Young Master Jie¡¯s woman? I¡¯m his current girlfriend now, and you¡¯re his ex! You should watch yourself; if not¡ one word from me and Young Master Jie will throw you out from ss S!¡±
Before Mu Xiaoxiao could gather her fury, Yu Zhe, unable to endure this any longer, pped the table in fury and red at Bai Meijiao. ¡°You want to oust Mu Xiaoxiao from ss S? Who do you think you are!¡±
Bai Meijiao froze. She wasn¡¯t expecting anyone to defend Mu Xiaoxiao.
Moreover, this was ss S they were talking about. The people who could enter this ss were either the academic elite or the ones with a superior family background. This boy looked like thetter based on his dressing and aura, so she didn¡¯t dare to talk back to him.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at Bai Meijiao as she chuckled coldly, ¡°Sure, you can try that. I would also really like to see if you have the ability to expel me from this ss.¡±
Even if she dared Yin Shaojie, he wouldn¡¯t dare to do it!
However, Bai Meijiao didn¡¯t know about this. She thought that the reason Mu Xiaoxiao was in ss S was just like hers ¡ª through Young Master Jie¡¯s influence.
And now that Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t Young Master Jie¡¯s girlfriend anymore, she should obviously be kicked out of ss S! What right did she have to remain in the ss?
Just like Bai Meijiao, there were many people who worshiped ss S.
To be able to enter ss S was the ultimate glory!
Thus, Bai Meijiao was extremely displeased that Mu Xiaoxiao was still in ss S despite getting dumped, and she even had a rich boy like Yu Zhe who would stand up for her.
Bai Meijiao refused to show any weaknesses and said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Sure. Just you wait. We¡¯ll see whosts the longest!¡±
Yu Zhe, who was aware of Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s status, rolled his eyes and looked upon Bai Meijiao as though she was an idiot.
Bai Meijiao should simply change her name to Bai Chi 1 !
Heughed suddenly and leaned close to Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ear, considerably excited. ¡°Say, if she realizes your rtionship with Young Master Jie, how frightened do you think she would be?¡±

Chapter 167: They¡¯ve Spent the Night Together?
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao smirked as well, nodding her head. ¡°I really want to see that.¡±
Anyway, she didn¡¯t believe that Yin Shaojie would chase her out of ss S just because of a woman.
Even if he did, the Principal would never dare to do it. If the Yin family got wind of it, Yin Shaojie would surely be scolded to death by his family!
Mu Xiaoxiao was toozy to bother with Bai Meijiao. She ignored her, turned a blind eye to the res shot her way, and chatted leisurely with Yu Zhe.
Yu Zhe had turned around in his seat and was facing her with both his hands resting on her table. In a whisper that could only be heard by the both of them, he asked curiously, ¡°Young Master Jie is so weird this time. He obviously didn¡¯t look like he really liked this woman that much. Why did he even reconcile with her?¡±
This was beyond theprehension of most people.
Moreover, Young Master Jie had had countless girlfriends and no one had seen him reconcile with any of them before. He had always forgotten about them once they had broken up.
Mu Xiaoxiao answered a little irritably, ¡°I don¡¯t know!¡±
And she didn¡¯t want to know either!
It was curious that whenever Yin Shaojie¡¯s name was mentioned now, she would feel really angry, and her chest would feel stiflingly heavy.
Just then, a murmur of conversation floated over. Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s attention shifted towards it unconsciously.
¡°I seem to recall that Young Master Jie rarely drives girls around in his car. Do you think that he took her to school specially, or¡¡±
¡°You don¡¯t say? They must¡¯ve spent the night together!¡±
The speaker was a boy, and his tone sounded suggestive.
¡°What do you know? Even if they came to school together, it doesn¡¯t necessarily mean that they spent the night together!¡±
¡°There¡¯s something you don¡¯t know then,¡± that boy said with a knowledgeable air.
¡°Yeah, we don¡¯t; hurry up and spill the beans!¡±
¡°Have you seen Young Master Jie send any girl to school before? Also, he wouldn¡¯t have taken anyone to school personally at such an early time ¡ª he would most likely ask a chauffeur to do so. The most probable exnation for him doing this would then be that they had spent the night together, which naturally led to Young Master Jie driving her to school.¡±
This sounded like a watertight exnation!
The listening crowd believed it.
Suddenly, someone eximed, ¡°If they had spent the night together, wouldn¡¯t they have slept together then?¡±
The boys all had a knowing look on their faces as they chuckled, ¡°You don¡¯t say? They must have¡¡±
They did a crude gesture that made the girls blush.
The girls who liked Yin Shaojie all looked sad.
Unable to contain his curiosity, a boy went over to Bai Meijiao boldy and asked directly, ¡°Bai Meijiao, tell us then, did you and Young Master Jie sleep together?¡±
They had been discussing the matter so loudly that Bai Meijiao would have obviously heard everything that had been going on. She had been smiling, pleased, as she listened in.
These people were obviously aware of her and Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s presence but hadn¡¯t lowered their volume, letting them hear the conversation on purpose.
Bai Meijiao put on a face of shyness. ¡°Why¡¯re you asking this? I¡¯m not gonna tell!¡±
¡°You did, didn¡¯t you? Young Master Jie is really good in bed from the looks of it. What did you dost night? Tell us, even if it¡¯s just a little ¡ªe on, don¡¯t be shy!¡±
Seeing her expression made everyone curious, and they all moved towards her.
Everyone was especially interested in this for it was gossip involving Young Master Jie.
However, no one had noticed Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s look of fury or her curled fists on the table.
Had they spent the night together?
Did that b*stard bring Bai Meijiao to the condominium? That meant that she must have slept on her bed!

Chapter 168: Because He Liked Her Too Much
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s was so enraged that her chest rose up in anger. Thinking about Yin Shaojie bringing Bai Meijiao to their ce and doing that on her bed¡
She wanted to murder someone!
Bai Meijiao nced askance at Mu Xiaoxiao and saw that her word had had the desired effect. She was even more pleased than before and said to the rest on purpose, ¡°Aiyoh, how can I describe such an embarrassing situation? But anyway, Young Master Jie was with mest night.¡±
Her acknowledgment caused an uproar.
¡°m!¡± A loud noise rang out. Mu Xiaoxiao had shockingly mmed the table and stood up, her delicate face twisted into a dark and scary expression.
No way. She had to interrogate Yin Shaojie and get to the bottom of this!
If that b*stard really brought Bai Meijiao home to do that¡
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes reddened, and she tried to hold her tears in.
Nearby, Bai Meijiao patted her chest coquettishly as she shot her an annoyed look and said, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, be angry all you want, but what did you m the table for? Even if your hands don¡¯t hurt, you¡¯ve scared the heck out of me.¡±
Seeing that Mu Xiaoxiao was acting unnaturally, Yu Zhe frowned and bellowed at Bai Meijiao, ¡°Shut up!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth. ring at Bai Meijiao, she was about to leave the ss.
However, just as she moved, Yu Zhe pulled on her hand. ¡°Xiaoxiao! Calm down for a bit!¡±
He seemed to realize what she wanted to do.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s red at him angrily, her gaze brimming with grievance. How could she remain calm? She wanted to grill Yin Shaojie on whether Bai Meijiao was speaking the truth right now.
She absolutely didn¡¯t care if he had done anything with Bai Meijiao at all!
However, how could he bring her into their condominium? That was her home!
He had really gone overboard if he had done so!
Bai Meijiao felt as though she was an actress in a drama. Sheughed mockingly and provoked her purposely, saying, ¡°Yeah? You want to look for Young Master Jie to ask if this is the truth, don¡¯t you? Go on, hurry up and go on ahead. I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t dare to!¡±
All of Young Master Jie¡¯s women were not only docile and obedient, but they would also never question him about such things.
Bai Meijiao had confidently predicted that Mu Xiaoxiao wouldn¡¯t dare to do so either.
Even if she dared to, that would be even better. If Young Master Jie flew into a rage, she would be able to be rid of Mu Xiaoxiao without even lifting a finger.
Yu Zhe abandoned all niceties and, not sparing Bai Meijiao¡¯s feelings one bit, hollered ferociously, ¡°I told you to shut up! Did you hear!¡±
Stunned, the crowd looked at him, specting if he had gone mad by daring to shout at Young Master Jie¡¯s woman like that.
No matter how things were, Bai Meijiao was Young Master Jie¡¯s girlfriend. If Bai Meijiao were toin to Young Master Jie that he had been so rude and bellowed at her like that, he would be very sorry for it!
However, Yu Zhe had dared to do such a thing in order to stand up for Mu Xiaoxiao. If he wasn¡¯t mad, then it would mean that he liked Mu Xiaoxiao a lot.
Bai Meijiao felt that her dignity had been trampled over by being shouted at like this. She thought to herself that it had been a bad idea to have already made an enemy of someone when she had just been transferred over here.
Just then, the bell rang for the start of ss, and the teacher entered the room.
Yu Zhe hurriedly pulled Mu Xiaoxiao down to her seat andforted her softly, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t be provoked by this woman. Who knows if what she said was the truth anyway! Calm down a bit and think things through, okay?¡±
He only felt relieved when he saw her nod slightly.
He said softly again, ¡°Personally, I don¡¯t believe what she¡¯s said, you know? Even though Young Master Jie has had many girlfriends, I¡¯ve never heard of him staying overnight at a girl¡¯s ce or bringing a girl home to sleep over.¡±

Chapter 169: Going to Find Yin Shaojie
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Why did he say that?
It was because Yin Shaojie was the celebrity who received the most attention at Shangde High!
His every action was scrutinized by everyone, and even the littlest news about him would spread throughout the school like wildfire.
Moreover, the girls he had dated were especially fond of striving for his favor. If one of them received a gift from him, they would broadcast it to the entire world.
If a girl had done it with him, she would definitely have announced it to the entire world. However, such news had never been circted since the very beginning.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s personality was known by everyone, and no one had the guts to spread fake news about him.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Yu Zhe and asked nkly, ¡°Really?¡±
Yu Zhe nodded. ¡°Really. Do you trust me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and didn¡¯t speak anymore.
It was really hard to endure through the first lesson. She couldn¡¯t help but think that even if Yin Shaojie hadn¡¯t done that with Bai Meijiao, did he really bring her over to the condominium?
Even if Bai Meijiao had only stood in their living room, it was something Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t stand. She would demolish the entire living room.
Right!
If this is really true, I willmit arson and burn the entire condominium down! Mu Xiaoxiao thought furiously.
The ss finally ended. Unable to stand it any longer, she stood up and went out.
This time, Yu Zhe didn¡¯t stop her but followed behind anxiously.
Bai Meijiao coincidentally walked over too and started heading in the same direction as her.
It was obvious that Bai Meijiao was looking for Yin Shaojie as well. She looked askance at Mu Xiaoxiao proudly as though she was the winner of the two.
At the first floor, they bumped into Han Qiqing.
¡°Xiaoxiao, where are you going?¡± Han Qiqing questioned uprehendingly, moving forward to hook her arm through hers.
Bai Meijiao was, of course, aware of Han Qiqing¡¯s identity. Her expression changed when she saw how intimate she was with Mu Xiaoxiao.
Why was Han Qiqing acting so familiarly with Mu Xiaoxiao?
¡°I¡¯m looking for Yin Shaojie,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said. Her voice sounded choked and funny as though something was blocking her throat.
¡°What¡¯s up? Why is this woman tagging along with you?¡±
Han Qiqing looked towards Bai Meijiao and noticed the weird atmosphere.
Yu Zhe knew that Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t feel like speaking and spoke for her, narrating what had happened in ss to Han Qiqing.
¡°This was what happened.¡±
Bai Meijiao looked a little panicked and tried to scramble away.
Unexpectedly, Han Qiqing shouted at her, ¡°You, wait!¡±
Bai Meijiao froze and didn¡¯t dare to take another step. Turning around, she put on a charming smile and asked, ¡°Miss Qiqing, what did you call me for?¡±
Han Qiqing held Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand as she walked in front of her, chuckling coldly, ¡°Did you say that Yin Shaojie spent the night with you? What happened between the both of you?¡±
¡°Uh, this¡ This¡¡± Bai Meijiao stammered.
¡°You f*cking liar!¡± Han Qiqing was blunt and spat the three words to her face. She harrumphed mockingly and said, ¡°I believe he hasn¡¯t even kissed you once!¡±
Bai Meijiao¡¯s face turned pale as a sheet as if Han Qiqing had hit the nail on the head.
¡°Excuse me! I have to go!¡± she said hurriedly before rushing off swiftly.
Han Qiqing ignored her. Pulling on Mu Xiaoxiao, she headed outside.
Yu Zhe felt out of ce and could only stand there and watch them as they moved out of sight before returning to the ssroom.
When they had arrived under the shade of a tree, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but blurt out, ¡°How did you know that she was lying?¡±
Chapter 170 - I Have No Reason to Lie to You
Chapter 170: I Have No Reason to Lie to You
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Under the shade of the tree was a European-style bench. Han Qiqing parked herself onto it and smiled. ¡°That¡¯s simple! Those of us who are close to Yin Shaojie know all about his affairs.¡±
¡°What affairs? Why do I not know about them?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao blinked in confusion, settling herself down beside her.
Han Qiqing gave a cry of realization and said, ¡°Oh yeah, you¡¯ve been out of the country for the past few years and haven¡¯t interacted with us for a while. It¡¯s normal that you don¡¯t know.¡±
¡°Just hurry up and tell me what¡¯s up!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t stand the suspense she was putting her through.
¡°Aiyoh, stop squeezing my hand! It hurts!¡± Han Qiqing yelped and hurriedly retracted her hand from Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand. ¡°AIright, alright, I¡¯ll tell you now. Don¡¯t attack me anymore,¡± she said.
Mu Xiaoxiao ceased her attack and stared at her with a serious face.
Han Qiqing said, ¡°Actually, Yin Shaojie seems like he has mysophobia.¡±
¡°Mysophobia?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao thought that she had misheard, and she even picked at her ears. In a tone of disbelief, she asked, ¡°How can he have mysophobia? His house is messy as heck!¡±
Even though it wasn¡¯t as dirty as a pig sty, his room had never been clean enough to hint at him being a mysophobe before she had moved in.
She couldn¡¯t tell that he was mysophobic in any way.
¡°It¡¯s not that kind of mysophobia!¡± Han Qiqing rolled her eyes at her. ¡°I¡¯m talking about emotional mysophobia.¡±
¡°Huh? That seems even more far-fetched!¡± It sounded like a fantastic story, and this time, Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Han Qiqing. ¡°His exes could line up and fill up an entire street. How can such a flirt be emotionally mysophobic? Then wouldn¡¯t I be the Holy Virgin?¡± she scoffed.
Han Qiqing was stuck betweenughing and crying. ¡°It seems right if you put it like that¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned in frustration. ¡°What do you mean though? I really don¡¯t get what you¡¯re trying to say. What¡¯s this got to do with Bai Meijiao lying?¡±
She felt that she should just question Yin Shaojie herself.
Just as she was about to stand up, Han Qiqing grabbed onto her fiercely and looked at her with her eyes widened. ¡°Don¡¯t go so fast! Are you still trying to look for him?¡±
¡°Duh? I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re trying to say. Little Qing, aren¡¯t you bad atnguage arts? Your sentence structure is atrocious, and even though I¡¯ve been in America for so long, it still isn¡¯t as bad as yours,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said gloomily.
Han Qiqing felt the deep disdain rolling off of her and felt a little hurt. Boohoo, was she really that bad atnguage arts? She had been exposed.
¡°Okay, I¡¯ll paraphrase. Just hear me out first, alright?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll give you another chance.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao sat back down.
Han Qiqing put some serious thought into her words before saying, ¡°Let¡¯s put it like this. How did I know that Bai Meijiao was lying? It¡¯s because Yin Shaojie has mysophobia and has never kissed a girl before, let alone done it with them, even though he¡¯s had so many girlfriends. It¡¯s just like this!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t believe that!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao had a poker face on and harrumphed.
¡°It¡¯s true!¡± An anxious Han Qiqing nodded her head vigorously. Staring into Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes, she reiterated, ¡°Xiaoxiao, I have no reason to lie to you about such a thing, okay?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was still a little doubtful about this. ¡°How do you know about this then? Yin Shaojie wouldn¡¯t have told you himself.¡±
Han Qiqing replied, ¡°How could he have told such a thing to me? It was Shijun and his friends who did. They teased it out from Yin Shaojie¡¯s own lips at a birthday party held by our circle at a bar.

Chapter 171: He Admitted to It Himself
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned for quite a while. ¡°So¡ It¡¯s true?¡±
Her expression was still one of disbelief.
Yin Shaojie had dated so many girls before. How could he not have kissed any of them?
She suddenly remembered yesterday¡¯s events and how he had mysteriously wanted to kiss her so madly.
Her face reddened as she thought about this.
How could a person who had mysophobia casually suddenly go berserk the day before and insist on kissing her so badly?
He was an entirely different person from what Little Qing had described!
This dichotomy made Mu Xiaoxiao still doubtful.
She disagreed with Han Qiqing, saying, ¡°All of you must have been duped by him! How could he have revealed something like that in such an offhand manner?¡±
Wasn¡¯t something like this very embarrassing to a man?
How could the prideful Yin Shaojie ever say this!
Han Qiqing wagged her finger and said firmly, ¡°He couldn¡¯t have lied to us! Shijun and the rest made him drunk, okay? They all drank till they were really intoxicated. And you know how guys like to talk about such things, so when they heard Yin Shaojie say that he was still¡ hehe!¡±
Han Qiqing covered her mouth and giggled at this point.
¡°He¡¯s what?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked confused.
Han Qiqing shot a nce at her. ¡°You still don¡¯t get this? It means he¡¯s a vir¡ gin! Idiot!¡±
The redness on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face got worse. She said disbelievingly, ¡°H-he really said that? Did he admit to it himself?¡±
She remembered another incident where he had said something simr to her¡ Something about him being a virgin or something.
Could it be that¡ That this was true?
Han Qiqing shrugged and said, ¡°Something like that. Anyway, he said that he had never touched any of them or had the desire to kiss them at all.¡±
¡°So, think about it ¡ª does Bai Meijiao have that much charm to make Yin Shaojie disregard his principles and even do it with her? It¡¯s so obvious that it¡¯s fake! That woman only said those things to you on purpose to provoke you and toot her own horn, while you¡¯re the stupid one who believed in her.¡±
Han Qiqing shook her head at Mu Xiaoxiao in a show of worry for her IQ.
Mu Xiaoxiao was blushing and tried to defend herself, ¡°I-I¡¯m not angry because of that! I don¡¯t care if he¡¯s done things with other girls. I¡¯m only angry about him bringing girls over to our condominium!¡±
Han Qiqing stroked her chin with her fingers and thought for a while. ¡°I feel that that¡¯s probably a lie too because even if Yin Shaojie wanted to make you jealous, he would never have brought her home.¡±
¡°Humph! If he dared to do it, I¡¯ll burn down the entire condominium!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was stern as she huffed angrily.
Looking at her face, Han Qiqing felt amused. She looked like the picture of jealousy, but she just didn¡¯t want to admit it!
¡°Okay, you should calm down. Don¡¯t rush over and interrogate him so quickly, or you¡¯ll lose in this.¡±
¡°Why?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked, uprehending.
Han Qiqing looked askance at her and replied, ¡°If you pick a fight with him with so many eyes watching, everyone will get a free show.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that this made sense. She didn¡¯t like to be watched by the crowd like that; it felt like she was a monkey.
¡°You have to endure this. Then, in the afternoon, we¡¯ll look for him and have lunch together to understand what¡¯s up and expose that woman¡¯s lies! Wouldn¡¯t that be interesting?¡±
Han Qiqing smiled devilishly as she said this.
She felt so good just thinking about how that woman would get what wasing for her!

In the afternoon.
Just as Yin Shaojie and Bai Meijiao walked into the cafeteria, someone called out for him to stop. A beaming Han Qiqing walked over to them with Mu Xiaoxiao in tow.
Yin Shaojie, Xiaoxiao and I have forgotten to bring our food cards. Can you treat us to lunch?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze was natural as it studied Mu Xiaoxiao. With his usual casual smile on his face, he said, ¡°Of course.¡±
Han Qiqing walked forward and surveyed the first floor of the cafeteria. ¡°How about eating on the first floor? I¡¯m sick of eating on the second floor every time.¡±
Yin Shaojie gave an acknowledgment of indifference.
The four of them thus found a ce and sat down.
However, this scene shocked the rest of the students in the cafeteria. Were Young Master Jie¡¯s new love and ex sitting together? What kind of situation was this?
The students stopped eating and craned their necks to watch what would happen next.
While the four of them were sitting, Wu Hao, the assistant, stood beside them and inquired about their dining preferences to ce their orders for them.
¡°I want to eat ck pepper beef with rice!¡± Han Qiqing said. Turning over to Mu Xiaoxiao, she asked, ¡°What about you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao spoke without thinking, ¡°I¡¯ll get the same.¡±
Just then, Yin Shaojie cocked his brows. He looked at her with his inky dark eyes and asked, ¡°Don¡¯t you not eat ck pepper?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was still a little pissed at him. She harrumphed and red at him as she said, ¡°I like it now, okay?!¡±
¡°Sure, suit yourself,¡± Yin Shaojie replied dandiacally as though he didn¡¯t care.
However, if he really didn¡¯t, he wouldn¡¯t have remembered what she liked.
Even though Bai Meijiao looked a little put off by this, she still maintained a charming smile, seeming like an obedient child. Her behavior was a far cry from earlier during ss.
She had originally been waiting for Young Master Jie to ask what she had wanted to eat, but he seemed like he wasn¡¯t going to. She felt a little embarrassed.
She could only tell her order to Wu Hao herself then, saying, ¡°I¡¯ll have a cheesy chicken cutlet with rice.¡±
Wu Hao looked towards Yin Shaojie and asked respectfully, ¡°Young Master Jie, what would you like to eat?¡±
Yin Shaojie seemed to reply carelessly, ¡°Simmer-fried eggnt.¡±
It wasn¡¯t long before Wu Hao had bought all four of their meals. He then sat apart from them to eat.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s brow furrowed after taking a bite of the ck pepper beef as though it didn¡¯t suit her pte. Her chopsticks picked at her rice, but she didn¡¯t take another bite.
Just then, Bai Meijiao picked up a piece of chicken cutlet and with a captivating smiled, said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°Yin Shaojie, try some of this.¡±
However, Yin Shaojie ignored her and instead, reached out and whisked Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s meal away.
¡°Hey you ¡ª ¡± Mu Xiaoxiao thought that he was trying to fool around, but his te of simmer-fried eggnt suddenly appeared before her. This was a dish that she liked.
¡°Obviously hating it but still trying to force yourself.¡± Yin Shaojie rolled his eyes at her, his tone disdainful.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. Despite his attitude, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart warmed a little as she studied the simmer-fried eggnt in front of her.
Han Qiqing grinned as she looked at them, her gaze suggestive.
Were these two¡ Having a public disy of affection?
She looked askance at Bai Meijiao. Her color was alternating between pink and white. This was so exciting!
Han Qiqing smirked. Looking at Yin Shaojie, she suddenly asked, ¡°Great Master Yin, I heard from your girlfriend that you were with herst night? Did you spend the night with her?¡±
She gave a knowing look at Mu Xiaoxiao as she said this.
Mu Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and recalled their n. With a tone that sounded as if she was interrogating the condemned, she questioned Yin Shaojie, ¡°Did you bring her back to our condominium?¡±

When she heard this, the color in Bai Meijiao¡¯s face drained to one that was even paler than the paint on the wall.
The eavesdroppers around them looked astonished.
Our condominium?

So Mu Xiaoxiao was staying with Young Master Jie?! They were co-habiting?
¡°No, I didn¡¯t.¡± Yin Shaojie pinched his eyebrows and turned towards Bai Meijiao beside him. ¡°Did you say that?¡± he asked, his gaze cold and sharp.
Hit by a wave of terror, Bai Meijiao shook both her hands and head hurriedly. ¡°No! That wasn¡¯t what I said. I¡¯ve never said that!¡±
Han Qiqing crossed her arms and said sarcastically, ¡°Finally knowing fear? Why didn¡¯t you think of the consequences when you were lying?¡±
Bai Meijiao¡¯s eyes were rimmed with tears as she hugged Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm. ¡°Young Master Jie, I really didn¡¯t say that. Please trust me, will you?¡± she said with a pitiable look on her face.
She then shot a hateful re at Mu Xiaoxiao and continued, ¡°I only said that Young Master Jie and I were togetherst night. I never mentioned that I¡¯ve been to Young Master Jie¡¯s house! Don¡¯t wrong me!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned and understood everything in a sh.
Right, Bai Meijiao never said such a thing. She had only tried to steer people into misunderstanding the situation.
She had to admit that Bai Meijiao was really smart.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao was only bothered with the first part of her sentence. She turned towards Yin Shaojie and asked, ¡°Were you together with herst night?¡±
Bai Meijiao scrambled to reply, ¡°That¡¯s right! That¡¯s absolutely right! How could I lie in front of Young Master Jie?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at Mu Xiaoxiao but didn¡¯t speak, seeming to agree tacitly.
Mu Xiaoxiao took in a deep breath. Smiling, she stood up suddenly.
¡°I¡¯m full. Thanks for the treat.¡±
She then turned around and left.
Han Qiqing was stunned. She looked at Yin Shaojie angrily and said, ¡°How could you do that to Xiaoxiao!¡±
She then rushed after her.
Yin Shaojie sat there quietly, his gaze expressionless.
¡
After school, in the afternoon.
Just as Yin Shaojie entered the condominium and prepared to close the door, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s foot appeared, and she used her hand to block the door.
¡°Wait!¡±
Noticing him gazing into her eyes, Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her chin and shot him a nce. ¡°What? Aren¡¯t you going to wee me home?¡±
She walked in and changed into her pair of slippers, throwing her bag onto the sofa carelessly and making herself very much at home.
¡°I only stayed over at Little Qing¡¯s ce for one night. I never said I wouldn¡¯te back.¡±
She was smiling her usual bright smile as though nothing had happened today.
Yin Shaojie stared at her smile, but his dark eyes seemed to hold some coldness.
He had liked her smile in the past, for it was really sunny and cute, and it made her seem like she had not a care in the world.
However, he felt that it was overly-dazzling now.
Mu Xiaoxiao walked into the washroom and washed her face, not giving him a second nce. She seemed to be unaware of his weird gaze and the fishy atmosphere.
After she finished washing up, she walked out and stretched before heading to the fridge to get something.
¡°Any drinks for you?¡± she lifted her head, her dark eyes looking at him as she asked.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s patience finally ran out.
He grabbed her arm violently and pushed her against the fridge.
His handsome face was furious as he bellowed at her angrily, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao! Don¡¯t you have even the slightest shred of feelings for me?¡±
He had been together with Bai Meijiaost night.
Did she not mind it at all?

Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised by his sudden action. It was not only forceful, but his voice was also sharp. She could only react by staring at him, dazed, innocence seeming to radiate from her dark eyes.
Her gaze then turned misty as though she had been wronged by his shouting.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s face turned severe as he said frustratedly, ¡°You¡¯re doing it again!¡±
This wretch was really too sly. She always used this trick, knowing that it would unnerve him conveniently!
Mu Xiaoxiao, whose eyes were only misty from earlier, was actually tearing up now. The tears wobbled in her eyes as though they would fall any moment, which made Yin Shaojie even more frustrated.
Bang! He mmed a fist into the door of the fridge. ¡°I said, no crying!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao puffed out her cheeks, stared at him stubbornly through glistening teardrops, and used him, saying, ¡°I¡¯m not crying! Why did you yell at me!¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t know how to continue the conversation and simply turned around to leave.
Seeing that he was leaving, Mu Xiaoxiao pounced on him anxiously and hugged his waist.
This time, she bawled, her tears wetting the back of his shirt.
¡°You ¡ª ¡± Yin Shaojie took a deep breath, his heart softening instantly at her tears. He was going to abandon all his principles and turn back to coax her to stop crying.
Unexpectedly, he didn¡¯t get the chance to turn his head before he heard her choke out, ¡°¡ I¡¯m sorry¡¡±
He was stunned.
Mu Xiaoxiao sniffed. In an aggrieved voice brimming with atonement, she said, ¡°I-It was my fault first¡ I haven¡¯t apologized for lying to you¡ A-And the thing about Lu Yichen¡ He¡¯s really just a friend¡ You¡¯re obviously the most important person in my heart! No one can everpete with you¡ Jie, please you stop being angry¡ Can we stop fighting¡¡±
She didn¡¯t like to fight, and she didn¡¯t like the cold war they were waging right now. She felt really exhausted and pained.
She wanted to return to the earlier times when she was happy with him, being spoilt and loved by him, with him yielding to her no matter what she did.
Actually, she couldn¡¯t understand why everything blew up to these proportions this time.
Did he hate Lu Yichen that much, even to the point of restricting her from making friends with him?
She really couldn¡¯t understand what he was thinking.
However, she was really tired and didn¡¯t want to fight with him like this any longer. Anyway, the person who had been at fault was her, so it should be fine if she apologized first, right?
Moreover, it was stupid for them to fight over a stranger!
Yin Shaojie sighed deeply. His heart had already been softened, but upon hearing her say that ¡°No one can everpete with you,¡± his heart melted even more.
He pulled her hand away and turned around, taking her petite figure into his embrace, his warm hand stroking her hair.
¡°You idiot¡¡± He was a little embarrassed and didn¡¯t know how to respond, so the first words out of his mouth scolded her, but his tone was much, much more gentle.
Actually, he felt that he had acted stupidly since the beginning of things.
His anger had already dissipated from her lying to him and meeting up with Lu Yichen.
What had made him angryter on was her refusal of his kiss.
However, how could he reveal such a thing?
Hearing his tone turn gentle, Mu Xiaoxiao knew that he wasn¡¯t angry anymore. She cried out and sobbed louder this time as though she was trying to make up for the grievance she had felt for the past few days.
She was wiping her tears and snot all over him.
Yin Shaojie lowered his head and was stuck betweenughing and crying as he studied her childish behavior; yet, no matter how he looked at it, she still looked really cute like that.

His tone was helpless and pampering as he said, ¡°Don¡¯t wipe your snot on my shirt. It¡¯s gross!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted, and lifting up the corner of his shirt, she blew her nose into it.
Yin Shaojie chuckled bitterly. Now his shirt was really ruined.
He hugged her over to the sofa and sat her down before getting up to change out of his shirt in his room.
She tugged at him, her dark eyes looking at him. ¡°Where are you going?¡± she asked.
Yin Shaojie pointed to his shirt where she left a stain. ¡°Would you rather I preserve this evidence then?¡± he teased.
¡°Oh.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao let go of him.
Yin Shaojie got up. As though he suddenly thought of something, he went over to the fridge, opened the door, and took out a packet of strawberry milk. He went back and ced it on the coffee table in front of her before heading for the room to change out of his shirt.
Seeing that he was so considerate, Mu Xiaoxiao grinned as she grabbed the packet of strawberry milk and gulped it down.
She had lost a lot of fluids earlier and should rehydrate herself.
He came out from the room after she had finished her milk. He was wearing a light gray leisure tee and looked overwhelmingly handsome in it. With a mesmerizing smile, he walked over and sat by her.
¡°How¡¯re you feeling? What do you want for dinner?¡± Since she was the one who apologized first, he thought that he should do something to make her happy, such as buying her favorite dishes for dinner.
Mu Xiaoxiao chewed on her straw out of habit as she cocked her head and began to think.
She didn¡¯t know if it was because they had made up, but her mood was superb, which made her appetite really good too. She felt like eating everything and couldn¡¯t think of anything special to eat.
She thought for a while before she finally lifted her eyes and shook her head at him, confused. ¡°I can¡¯t think of anything to eat¡¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled and pinched her nose. ¡°Are you hungry now?¡±
Normally, she was able to think of what to eat when she was hungry, but since she couldn¡¯t, he thought she might not be hungry yet.
Sure enough, she shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m not hungry yet,¡± she replied softly.
¡°We¡¯ll eat outter then.¡± Yin Shaojie thought for a moment, and after taking out his phone, he sent off a message to someone. He then turned to her and said, ¡°I¡¯ll ask Qiqing, Shijun and the rest to eat with us too; how about that?¡±
¡°Oh, sure.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. She realized that she hadn¡¯t really met up with anyone else after she had returned. It was weird that she hadn¡¯t seen Shijun and the rest even though they were all in the same school. Little Qing had said that she had been overseas for a few days, but what about Shijun and the rest?
She seemed tired as she pressed against his body and leaned her head on his shoulder.
Yin Shaojie smiled as he looked at her. ¡°What? Are you that tired?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed deeply and said, ¡°It¡¯s so tiring to fight¡ Can we please not fight in the future ever again?¡± she said faintly.
Yin Shaojie ruffled her hair. ¡°Wasn¡¯t it you who lied to me first? If not, we wouldn¡¯t have argued.¡±
However, his mysterious insistence to kiss her had caused their second quarrel. If not, they would have made up long ago.
However, he was a little two-faced ¡ª this was a rare opportunity to steer her into obeying his wishes, and he had no qualms about using it to his advantage.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face looked apologetic as she heard this. ¡°I¡¯ve already said that I¡¯m sorry¡ I¡¯ll be honest with you from now on, okay? However, you can¡¯t be so domineering all the time too,¡± she muttered.
She was an independent person who had things she wanted to do. He couldn¡¯t restrain her from doing everything she wanted to, right?
A thought suddenly shed into Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mind. If she really married him, wouldn¡¯t her every action be rigidly controlled by him?
Chapter 176 - Never Reconciled With Her
Chapter 176: Never Reconciled With Her
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Yet, someone had forgotten who really controlled who. It was Yin Shaojie who gave in to her more often.
However, she was still young, and marriage to her was an event that was still very far off. Thus, she didn¡¯t give that thought much importance and quickly threw it to the back of her mind.
Yin Shaojie looked at her and said, ¡°Then, you can¡¯t be so stubborn too, and you should be more careful when making friends.¡±
For example, wasn¡¯t she trying to set herself against him by not gaining his approval before making friends with Lu Yichen?
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to discuss this further for fear that they would argue again.
Perhaps she had been in America for too long, but to her, who she made friends with was up to her heart¡¯s desire. The only question to consider was whether she wanted the person as a friend, and it was not a matter of prudence. A friendship shouldn¡¯t be based off a person¡¯s worth to another but their affinity.
From the first time she had met Lu Yichen till now, her impression of him was really good. Her intuition told her that he would make a great friend, and he would be someone who may eventually be really important in her life.
However, she didn¡¯t dare to tell Yin Shaojie this just in case his temper red up again.
Oh yeah, and she would find a chance to ask him how he came to hate Lu Yichen next time.
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to remember something and lifted her head suddenly. ¡°What¡¯s up with you and Bai Meijiao then? Were you really together with herst night?¡± she looked at him and asked.
Yin Shaojie devilishly smirked and sniggered suggestively. ¡°Jealous?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao blushed. ¡°Scram! Who¡¯s jealous? I¡¯m just judging you and judging you really hard at that! Why did you even reconcile with such a woman after breaking up with her? You should¡¯ve at least found someone better!¡±
¡°Since when have I said that I¡¯ve reconciled with her?¡± Yin Shaojie spread his arms across the sofa and smiled at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little astonished. ¡°You didn¡¯t reconcile with her? Then hurry up and tell me what happened!¡±
Thinking about Bai Meijiao sitting on her high horse made her angry.
She couldn¡¯t help but think of how she would punish Bai Meijiao after the truth was revealed. Wouldn¡¯t that feel so good?
Hehe!
Yin Shaojie only needed a single nce at her smirk to know what her little head was thinking of.
¡°It was true that I was with herst night, but that¡¯s because my friends invited me out for fun and she was there coincidentally. I never said that I was reconciling with her; she was the one who made it up in her head.¡± He shrugged, absolving himself of all responsibility but not revealing that he was using Bai Meijiao to make her jealous.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. ¡°Why did you transfer her to ss S then? I couldn¡¯t stand how cocky she was!¡± she red at him as she grumbled.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s sexy lips curled into a smirk as though he had predicted this. ¡°Did she aggravate you?¡± he asked.
¡°Humph!¡± She turned her nose up at him to show her displeasure.
She could tell that he had arranged this on purpose!
Yin Shaojie replied disapprovingly, ¡°That¡¯s a simple thing to take care of. If you feel like she¡¯s an eyesore, you can transfer her to wherever you want. What ss do you want her to be kicked to?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao felt awesome when she heard these words!
Didn¡¯t this sound like what she had said to Bai Meijiao earlier? Yin Shaojie could transfer her over if he felt like it, and he could also throw her out if he felt like it too.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt likeughing as she imagined Bai Meijiao¡¯s hypothetical reaction when she realized she had been transferred away.
It was a little pitiful to be transferred out of ss S only after just a day!
Or should she be more merciful and let Bai Meijiao stay in ss S for a few more days?
Chapter 177
177 The Legendary Mu Family
Trantor: AsStudios | Editor: AsStudios /As Studios
Dining at a luxurious clubhouse.
Yin Shaojie had gathered his close friends, including Han Qiqing and Song Shijun. Song Shijun had brought a friend over with him as well.
Once he was through the door, Song Shijun smiled and said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Aiyoh, long time no see, Great Mistress Mu. I¡¯ve missed you so much!¡±
He was about to go forth and give her a hug when his act of hospitality was interrupted by Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm.
Yin Shaojie shot him a re. ¡°I asked you toe over for dinner, not take advantage of people!¡±
¡°A clueless person would think that Xiaoxiao was your wife!¡± Song Shijun teased and led his friend to a seat.
Yin Shaojieid a dandiacal arm across the back of Xiaoxiao¡¯s chair and smiled roguishly. ¡°So what? Xiaoxiao¡¯s my wife,¡± he said.
Song Shijun was perhaps already used to his dominance over matters regarding Mu Xiaoxiao, so he did not take his words at face value.
His friend beside him, however, didn¡¯t know who Mu Xiaoxiao was. He looked astonished as he whispered into his ear, ¡°So she¡¯s Mu Xiaoxiao! Is she really Young Master Jie¡¯s wife? What kind of person is she really?¡±
Song Shijun had been absent from school recently, so he was unaware of thetest happenings. He only smiled and replied, ¡°It¡¯s normal for you not to know her, but you should know the legendary Mus, right?¡±
The person eximed, ¡°Those Mus? Are you kidding me?¡±
Song Shijun pointed at Mu Xiaoxiao and introduced her, ¡°Thisdy here is the Mus only heiress.¡±
The people who lived in City A were all aware of the Big Four families, but not a lot of them knew the existence of another powerful but invisible magnate ¡ª the Mus, who kept a low profile. Moreover, most of their assets were overseas, so only the most elite of society would be acquainted with them.
The others were only aware of the Mus as a legend.
After Song Shijun had said that, he patted his friend¡¯s back and made a shushing noise at him. ¡°This is a secret, so just keep it to yourself. Don¡¯t leak it out, got it?¡±
Bringing him here meant that he was a trusted friend.
His good friend promised gravely, ¡°Of course; you can rx.¡±
Once he was on the topic of the Mus, Song Shijun couldn¡¯t help but mention something else about them. ¡°Do you know which school Xiaoxiao was studying in America?¡±
¡°Which school?¡±
¡°It¡¯s the top elite school in America! It¡¯s not somewhere you can get into just by having money. Do you remember how my family had wanted to send me for an overseas education? However, they couldn¡¯t get me enrolled, and yet, the Mus could get Xiaoxiao in ¡ª so you can imagine how extensive their influence is.¡±
Up till now, the Mus¡¯s influence still remained a mystery.
¡°Shijun,¡± Yin Shaojie called out to him suddenly while smiling mischievously. ¡°You¡¯re going to school tomorrow, right? I need a favor.¡±
Upon seeing his devilish smile, Song Shijun stirred with excitement. ¡°What¡¯s the favor?¡±
Yin Shaojie swirled the wine-red liquid in his winess, his inky ck eyes staring into it with interest.
¡°A¡ Really interesting favor.¡±
Thus, the next day.
When everyone else was arriving at school as usual, a fleet of cars drove over to the entrance of Shangde High.
Lamborghini, BMW, Maybach, Bugatti¡ Every car was not only a sports car worth over ten million, but they were also all limited edition models that were not on the market for sale.
They zoomed over and lined up outside the school gates.
A lineup of people exited the cars. Under the dumbfounded gaze of the crowd, a beaming Mu Xiaoxiao was seen surrounded by Yin Shaojie and his posse.
What kind of situation was this?!
Chapter 178
178 Envy, Jealousy, and Hatred
Trantor: AsStudios | Editor: AsStudios /As Studios
Had anyone ever witnessed such a scene?
There were Yin Shaojie and Han Qiqing, who were big shots of the Big Four families. Song Shijun was the son of the mayor, Zhang Xian was the second heir of Zhang Enterprises, so an and so forth¡ All of these people were the most prominent people belonging to the most elite families.
The party of hunks and gorgeousdies gathered together outside the school gates was a sight to behold.
With Shangde High¡¯s majestic school gates as a background to the mix, it was easy for passersby to unknowingly assume this to be a filming of the Chinese version of The Heirs!
However, everyone was feeling deeply puzzled over something.
Logically speaking, someone as insignificant as Mu Xiaoxiao shouldn¡¯t be worthy of walking with them, and even if she was, shouldn¡¯t she be following them from behind?
Why was she standing right in the middle!
It was even more shocking that Yin Shaojie stood to her left and Han Qiqing stood on her right. Han Qiqing was holding onto Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s arm affectionately, and Song Shijun even walked past Yin Shaojie and took the initiative to converse with Mu Xiaoxiao, his face the picture of pleasantness.
What kind of situation was this?!
Seriously, what the heck was this all about?!
It was no surprise that the students who were present were all dumbfounded.
Song Shijun brushed his fringe aside yfully and basked in the attention of the crowd. He smiled and said teasingly, ¡°This entrance of ours is one of a kind! I should have known and asked someone to record this down as a memento.¡±
It was probably impossible for them to enact another one of these scenes in the future.
Han Qiqingughed, ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that. That¡¯s probably already taken care of by the crowd.¡±
That was bound to happen naturally, and as expected, their entrance had already been recorded and proliferated throughout the entire school in a matter of minutes.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry at this. ¡°Do such things warrant so much hype?¡±
Their whole entrance was imposingly grand and magnificent, and it felt a little ufortable to her.
Would she get punched if she said that she didn¡¯t want to walk together with them?
Yin Shaojie put a casual arm around her shoulders and had a teasing smile on his handsome face. ¡°How do you feel about showing off your power and prestige? Are you satisfied now?¡± he asked
She was the only one in the history of Shangde who could enjoy such esteemed treatment.
However, this girl was still discontent!
Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged her shoulders. She actually didn¡¯t mind such treatment, but it was perhaps due to her family¡¯s habit of keeping a low profile that she never bragged about her status, even in America.
However¡ She gave Yin Shaojie a dazzling smile. ¡°This feeling¡¯s actually not bad!¡±
It wouldn¡¯t be good to be unappreciative of his good intentions, would it?
However, she felt like she was about to drown in the envy, jealousy, and hatred directed towards her way by the surrounding girls.
When they were about to reach Year One¡¯s block, Mu Xiaoxiao pped her hand to dismiss her entourage. ¡°Alright, you may disperse! Let¡¯s gather again in the afternoon, and I¡¯ll treat you to some food then,¡± she promised.
She felt that she should return the favor that they had done for her. She was at least aware of such etiquette.
Song Shijun smiled and said, ¡°Since Great Mistress Mu is treating, I¡¯ll ept heartily! But just a word of caution: I don¡¯t eat cafeteria food, so let¡¯s head out to eat.¡±
¡°Anything goes. I¡¯ll be heading to ss now; we¡¯ll talk about thister.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao separated from her posse, waved goodbye at them, and entered Year One¡¯s block.
When she stepped into Year One¡¯s ss S, her ssmates all turned to look at her, their gazes full of meaning.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t be bothered to probe into it and just went over to her seat and sat down.
Just then, Bai Meijiao walked into ss, her face pale. She stared at Mu Xiaoxiao as though in a trance, having evidently witnessed the earlier scene at the school gates.
Chapter 179
179 Who Are You, Really?
Trantor: AsStudios | Editor: AsStudios /As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao recalled the words Yin Shaojie had said the previous day.
¡°Which ss do you want to kick her out to? Her original ss in ss A, or ss F? Both are fine by me; it¡¯s all up to you.¡±
Yin Shaojie said all these casually. However, it had never crossed his mind that a singlemand of his could decide the fate of someone else.
The difference between ss A and ss F was phenomenal!
Bai Meijiao was an extremely vain girl. If she was transferred to ss F, wouldn¡¯t it be her equivalent of death?
Even so, Bai Meijiao would never leave Shangde High. No one would be willing to do so, even if they were assigned to the worst ss, ss F.
This was because it was extremely honorable in the elite circle of society to just bebeled as a student of Shangde!
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help butugh. Did that mean that she had Bai Meijiao¡¯s fate in her hands now?
This was her first time experiencing the power of being able to control someone¡¯s fate. It felt like there was an unspeakable weirdness about it.
Unconsciously, she shot a look at Bai Meijiao.
Bai Meijiao noticed her nce, and her body froze a little uncontrobly. She opened her mouth, pretending to be brave as she said, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, don¡¯t think you¡¯re¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head in amusement. ¡°Bai Meijiao, can you shut up? Nothing good everes out of your mouth.¡±
Still trying to incur her ire? Was Bai Meijiao¡¯s nickname really Bai Chi?
Having been thoroughly lectured, Bai Meijiao was stunned for a moment before she replied, ashamed, ¡°Aren¡¯t you only given such special treatment because you¡¯re Young Master Jie¡¯s pet? I don¡¯t know what kind of tricks you pulled to charm Young Master Jie out of his senses, but don¡¯t get cocky too early! Just you wait, Young Master Jie will be sick of you one day, and you¡¯ll end up like me then!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless. She was his pet? What was this nonsense!
Her rtionship with Shaojie wasn¡¯t like that.
However, she felt no need to exin this to anyone. Whatever they wanted to think was their problem, and it didn¡¯t hurt her anyway.
Bai Meijiao¡¯s voice was too shrill, and it hurt her ears.
Mu Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows in difort and shot a sharp look at her. ¡°Bai Meijiao, shut up, or I¡¯ll send you to ss F. Choose one!¡± she warned.
Bai Meijiao froze, instantly stunned.
Her subconscious felt that Mu Xiaoxiao was borrowing the might of her association with Yin Shaojie, for who was this slut to threaten her like that?
However, she was still afraid that Mu Xiaoxiao really had the power to do so. Wouldn¡¯t she really get transferred to ss F then?
She was scared sh*tless just thinking about it!
Thus, Bai Meijiao chose to harrumph and turned her head away after she had recovered from her shock, as though continuing the argument was beneath her.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head in amusement.
In front of her, Yu Zhe looked at her, the emotions in his eyesplex. ¡°Xiaoxiao¡ You¡¡±
What kind of person are you really?
He had initially thought that she had just been Yin Shaojie¡¯s childhood friend, but now, he understood that her identity wasn¡¯t that simple after witnessing the morning¡¯s events.
Even the son of the mayor, Song Shijun, acted pleasantly towards her. How powerful was she really?
Yu Zhe suddenly didn¡¯t want to know.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him in confusion. ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±
Yu Zhe stared nkly at her little face. The smile that hung on her delicate and pretty face was of the most innocent sort, and it was as though nothing had ever been different. Even though her status had appeared to be elevated, she had not changed one bit.
He seemed like he had hit upon an epiphany, and he smiled at her as he said, ¡°I wanted to ask if you already had breakfast. I have a fruit sandwich here; do you want it?¡±
¡°Yes!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao happily replied.
Chapter 180
180 Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s Treat
Trantor: AsStudios | Editor: AsStudios /As Studios
Bai Meijiao could finally let go of the oppressive burden and heave a sigh of relief at the ring of the after-school bell. She had been on pins and needles throughout the rest of the periods, suddenly regretting her choice to sit a mere seat away from Mu Xiaoxiao!
Just as she was about to pack her things up and leave the ssroom quickly, she heard a sudden sharp scream from outside.
¡°Ah ¡ª Young Master Jie! OMG, it¡¯s Young Master Jie! He¡¯s so handsome! How can someone be so good-looking? I can¡¯t take this anymore ¡ª I¡¯m going to die from looking at him!¡±
¡°Why is Young Master Jie here? Eh? He seems to be going into ss S!¡±
¡°Could he be here for Bai Meijiao? I heard that they¡¯ve reconciled; is that true?¡±
¡°That¡¯s OLD news! You must¡¯ve missed that magnificent parade this morning.¡±
¡°Young Master Jie is so handsome! I want to have his babies!¡±
Under the scrutiny of arge crowd, a tall, handsome figure stepped into ss S. A cynical smile was spread over Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face, making him look wickedly charming.
The girls nearby all held their hands to their chests, their hearts collectively galloping at a wild speed. He was so d*mn handsome that they could all die!
Even though Bai Meijiao had dated Yin Shaojie before, she was still not immune to his charms. Her gaze, like the other girls¡¯, was uncontrobly fixated on his being.
He¡ Was he here for her?
She couldn¡¯t help but think this and blushed, her heart beating wildly. She could almost see imaginary flower petals surrounding his silhouette in the most romantic way.
¡°Young Master Jie¡¡± she crooned as she saw him heading in her direction.
To her surprise, his inky ck eyes ignored herpletely as he brushed past her.
The expression on Bai Meijiao¡¯s face froze.
Since the moment he entered the ss, Yin Shaojie had already fixed his gaze on Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°The ce we¡¯re eating at has already been booked; I¡¯m taking you there.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry as she surveyed the entire ss, astonished by the scene he had caused.
So this guy had that much charm?
¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go.¡± She waved goodbye to Yu Zhe and hurried Yin Shaojie out of the ssroom.
¡°What about Shijun and the rest? Are they already there?¡±
¡°You¡¯re the only one left.¡±
The pair conversed, moving further and further away.
Bai Meijiao stood frozen on the spot. She had only realized an incredible thing from their conversation earlier ¡ª Mu Xiaoxiao had, surprisingly, dared to call Song Shijun without any honorifics! And in such a familiar tone at that!
She sucked in a sharp breath. Who the heck was Mu Xiaoxiao, really?
¡
Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised that Yin Shaojie actually brought her into the Student Union¡¯s building.
¡°Are we eating here?¡± she asked, puzzled.
Yin Shaojie hung an arm around her shoulders and led her in. They walked past the spacious lobby with the humongous chandelier to a room on the side.
¡°We called a five-star hotel to send some dishes over. It¡¯s too troublesome to travel out to eat.¡±
¡°What did you order?¡±
Pushing the door open, the pair walked in on the rest, who had all been waiting.
Noticing Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s arrival, Song Shijun stood up hurriedly, his chair scraping the floor. With the air of a gentleman, he pulled out a chair for her, smiled, and said obsequiously, ¡°Xiaoxiao, do you know how formidable you looked this morning? I was surrounded by all the rich scions I knew the first thing I stepped into ss, and they all wanted to know who you were! But don¡¯t worry; I didn¡¯t breathe a single word!¡±
Knowing that the Mus preferred to keep a low profile, he made sure to refrain from revealing her identity casually.
Yin Shaojie gave him a look that said ¡°d that you know¡± and pushed his hand, which was on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s chair, away. He shot him a look and cautioned, ¡°If the slightest hint gets out about this, you¡¯re going to get it!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao ignored them. She was more concerned about what had been ordered.
Song Shijun changed the subject hastily. ¡°Xiaoxiao, didn¡¯t you say that it¡¯d be your treat?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao grinned as she seized Yin Shaojie¡¯s wallet, pping it onto the table. ¡°I said that it was my treat, and it is!¡±

She spoke boldly and confidently, and the crowd¡ Didn¡¯t know if they shouldugh or cry.
Treating them using someone else¡¯s money?
Only Mu Xiaoxiao was capable of such a thing!
Song Shijun was the first to voice his disagreement. He argued, ¡°Great Mistress Mu, you can¡¯t possibly do that!¡±
Surprisingly, Great Master Yin, the owner of the wallet, red at him and asked, ¡°Do you have a problem with it?¡±
Song Shijun backed down instantly, his attitude obsequious as he shook his hands and head. ¡°It¡¯s no problem, no problem at all; why should it be a problem?¡± he said.
He made eyes at the others, pleading for them to say something to help him out.
However, no one dared to oppose the Great Master Yin.
They would only do so if they had a death wish!
Thus, no one spoke, all of them pretending to admire the scenery around them.
Just then, Mu Xiaoxiao said, smiling, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll just treat you if you insist on it. I don¡¯t really have cash, so a card will do just fine, right?¡±
She rummaged through her satchel as she said this and took out her wallet. She picked out a ck card from the wallet and ced it on the table.
Song Shijun¡¯s eyes widened at the sight of the card. His finger trembled as he pointed at it.
¡°You¡ Xiaoxiao, this card of yours! Let me see it!¡±
Even though Xiaoxiao felt like he was acting weird, she still passed the card to him.
Song Shijun scrutinized the card all over as though he was trying to examine every single detail on it before turning towards Yin Shaojie.
Great Master Yin was smirking at him.
Seeing his weird expression, Mu Xiaoxiao asked uprehendingly, ¡°What¡¯s up with this card?¡±
Han Qiqing smiled suddenly. ¡°He¡¯s got it! That¡¯s Yin Shaojie¡¯s supplementary card, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°Yep.¡±
Song Shijun¡¯s eyes sparkled as he cradled the card in his hands. ¡°Great Mistress Mu! This is the limited edition ck card! There are only four of them in all of City A!¡±
It wasmon sense as to who owned the four cards.
The Big Four families each possessed one card. Only one.
It was natural that no one else could thus get their hands on them.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao was oblivious to this. ¡°Isn¡¯t it just a ck card? My dad has one too!¡±
What¡¯s so surprising about this anyway? Why was he, the son of a mayor, acting as though he had never seen one in his life before?
Song Shijun looked at her and said agitatedly, ¡°It¡¯s different, okay?! This ck card is no ordinary ck card! Aish, you wouldn¡¯t understand.¡±
Indeed, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t understand what he was trying to say.
She had seen Yin Shaojie¡¯s ck card before, and it looked exactly like her dad¡¯s. There didn¡¯t seem to be a difference.
Song Shijun returned the card to him and said ruefully to Yin Shaojie, ¡°Great Master Yin, why do you pamper her so much? You¡¯ve even given your supplementary card to her.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him in displeasure. ¡°So what if he¡¯s given it to me? Do you have a problem with that?¡±
Humph! It wasn¡¯t his business that Yin Shaojie had given the card to her willingly for her use!
Song Shijun nced at the Great Master Yin and said awkwardly, ¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare to have a problem with that¡¡±
Boohoo, he was so envious!
As the meal drew to an end, Mu Xiaoxiao began to get drowsy. Her head was nted at an angle, and she was nodding off.
Yin Shaojie righted her head and let her lean on his shoulder. ¡°This girl¡¯s tired; I¡¯m going to carry her up,¡± he announced to the rest.
Standing up, he lifted her up by her waist gently and walked out of the room.
When they had left the room, the rest of the crowd looked at each other. Song Shijun turned to the person beside him and asked, ¡°Hey, have you ever seen Great Master Yin treat any of his girlfriends so gently and considerately?¡±
Han Qiqing rolled her eyes when she heard what he had said. She gave a meaningful smile as she said, ¡°Are those people even a match for Xiaoxiao?¡±

Song Shijun looked at her suggestive smile and instantly gathered that there was tea. He asked gossipily, ¡°Could it be that they¡¯re together?¡±
¡°I dunno.¡± Han Qiqing shrugged. Those two obviously prioritized each other the most but didn¡¯t even realize it themselves, making their circle of friends worried over their affairs.
Song Shijun spected, ¡°It looks like that to me! Look at how Young Master Jie pampers Xiaoxiao; I¡¯ve never seen him behave this way to anyone else before. It¡¯s as though¡ he likes her a lot!¡±
Han Qiqing rolled her eyes at him uncontrobly. ¡°Did Yin Shaojie¡¯s pampering only start recently?¡± she asked coolly.
Her words reminded Song Shijun of the past, and he suddenly knocked on his head. ¡°Oh yeah! How could I have forgotten? These two have been acting this way since they were little,¡± he eximed, realization dawning on him.
However, everyone¡¯s interaction with Xiaoxiao had lessened during the four years she had studied overseas. Naturally, they hadn¡¯t witnessed such scenes in a long time and had gradually forgotten about such a thing.
Han Qiqing sighed. Her voice was full of sentiment as she said, ¡°I¡¯ve envied Xiaoxiao since I was little. Everyone always treated her so well, and she even had Yin Shaojie who constantly pampers her and looks out for her.¡±
She only had a brother who was cold as ice to her at home. Not only did he not pamper her at all, but it was also hard to tease a smile out of him.
Why was her life so tough? Boohoo¡
Song Shijun suddenly bizarrelyughed and leaned towards Han Qiqing. Wagging his brows, he crooned tteringly, ¡°Qiqing, do youck a boyfriend? You can consider someone like me ¡ª I¡¯m handsome, stylish, smart, and humorous, not to mention a spendthrift!¡±
Han Qiqing smiled sweetly at him before pushing his face away with her palm. ¡°No. I. Don¡¯t!¡± she spat heartlessly.
She was well aware of what he was nning.
Besides, she already had someone she liked. In her heart, Lu Yichen was a hundred times better than the person in front of her!
Suddenly, she thought of something. She grinned as she beckoned at Song Shijun and said, ¡°How about this: If you can score higher than Lu Yichen in the next exam, I¡¯ll steal my brother¡¯s ck card and let you use it once. Sound good?¡±
¡°How¡¯s that even possible!¡± Song Shijun protested. ¡°Is someone like Lu Yichen even human? He¡¯s getting perfect scores for every subject even though the schoolwork is so hard! I don¡¯t believe he¡¯s a human at all ¡ª he must be an alien!¡±
He had only wanted to experience wielding a ck card. Why was she making this so hard!
Han Qiqing chuckled mischievously and turned her attention away from him.
¡
On the other hand, in a room on the second floor.
Yin Shaojie carried Mu Xiaoxiao up the stairs. Afraid that he would wake her, he lowered her gently onto the sofa so that she couldy downfortably.
Right after he had put her down, however, he heard her mumble, ¡°Jie¡ Light¡¯s too bright¡¡±
It looked like she hadn¡¯t fully entered dreand but was still in the state between wakefulness and sleepiness.
¡°Got it,¡± Yin Shaojie replied softly. He went to close the curtains, keeping out the blinding sunlight.
Just then, the girl muttered again, ¡°Jie¡ Pillow¡¡±
The pillow was right below her feet, but she was toozy to move to get it.
Helpless, Yin Shaojie picked the pillow up and even went so far as to ce it below her head.
¡°I want that long one too¡¡±
Thus, he grabbed a bolster for her to hug.
¡°And a little nket too¡¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s dark eyes studied her silently. Wasn¡¯t this girl ordering him around a little too casually?

The Great Master Yin was usually the one to do themanding; since when had anyonemanded him? It was only this wretch who dared to do it.
Despite this thought, the Great Master Yin still picked up a nket obediently and even ced it over her stomach for her.
He was used to setting the air-conditioning at a low temperature, and thus, it was on full st in this room. He thought for a while and decided to increase the temperature a little, worried that she might catch a cold.
Nowfortable, the girl rubbed her face against the pillow, and hugging the bolster, she drifted into a peaceful nap.
Yin Shaojie squatted beside the sofa and couldn¡¯t help but study her face. Her soft and exquisite skin looked as smooth as a baby¡¯s, and her pores were practically non-existent. It was tempting to kiss her skin.
However, what drove him wild were her lips. Perhaps it was from having spicy food earlier, but her lips were red and tender from the spiciness, looking very seductive.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s lips twitched. He mouth felt a little dry.
His eyes studied her lips intensely. She had ordered him about like a servant earlier on; it shouldn¡¯t be a big deal if he stole a kiss from her, right?
However, he didn¡¯t know if the girl had really fallen asleep yet.
Thus, he stared at her lips as though he was a hungry wolf going to eat up a little rabbit, and he waited for a few moments. Deciding that she was finally asleep, he leaned forward and gave a peck to those tantalizing lips.
He moved his head away after that little brush.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s pupils dted even more now. He had thought that stealing just one kiss would curb his desires, but it only made him want her more. He really wanted to do so much more to this wretch now¡
He stood up hurriedly. Exhaling loudly, he calmed himself down, trying to keep the primal side of him from rearing itself.
He turned his gaze to Mu Xiaoxiao uncontrobly once more.
This lucky girl had no idea what was going on. She looked really innocent and was deeply and peacefully asleep.
It was a stark contrast to his current internal conflict and frustration.
He pinched her nose bitterly and grumbled softly, ¡°Stupid wretch, how could you seduce people like that but sleep sofortably yourself.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao scrunched up her face in difort and swatted his hand away. She then moved her body to a morefortable position and continued her nap.
Helpless, Yin Shaojie stood up and walked over to the office desk.
A quiet afternoon thus began.
As the little girl slept on the sofa, the handsome youth would steal a few nces over at the sofa as he worked on something on hisptop.
¡
Just as Han Qiqing had predicted, the stylish parade from the morning had already been filmed and sent around the entire school. The news had even spread to students from other schools.
Naturally, Han Xue¡¯er saw it too.
Thus, she flung her phone away violently again. This time, the damage was even worse. Her phone had hit the wall squarely, shattering open.
Beside her, a domestic helper trembled with fear, in a dilemma over whether she should pick it up.
Han Xue¡¯er was extremely furious. Her eyes were red with rage, and her chest heaved vigorously as though she was experiencing an asthma attack.
The domestic helper was scared sh*tless and didn¡¯t know if she shouldfort her mistress. She thought that she had already seen her mistress at her angriest, but this was unexpectedly worse.
She could almost see a raging fire in her head about to explode.
It was terrifying, so terrifying!
¡°Are you dead? Pick up the phone right now!¡± Han Xue¡¯er turned her head and roared, ring at the helper.
¡°Y-Yes mistress¡¡± The domestic helper moved to pick it up hastily.
Chapter 184 - Annihilating Mu Xiaoxiao
Chapter 184: Annihting Mu Xiaoxiao
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
From the looks of it, the phone had been broken into two pieces, and the screen had split too. It was useless even if she picked it up for her mistress to use, but the domestic helper didn¡¯t dare to defy her order. She picked up the damaged phone obediently and presented it to her mistress with two hands.
Han Xue¡¯er picked it up, nced at it, and threw it at her in a fit of rage. ¡°You piece of garbage! How am I supposed to use this damaged trash! Scram! You¡¯ll be the death of me!¡±
The phone had hit the domestic helper¡¯s head, and she had fallen onto the ground. Aggrieved, she really wanted to cry but could only grit her teeth and bear it.
¡°Butler!¡± shemanded sharply.
The fat middle-aged butler hurried over obsequiously. ¡°Mistress Xue¡¯er, is there anything I can help you with?¡±
Han Xue¡¯er ordered, ¡°Call that slut, Han Yun¡¯er, and tell her toe here! IMMEDIATELY! Tell her she has ten minutes, and she¡¯d better NOT make me wait a minute longer!¡±
The butler wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll call her right now.¡±
Ten minutester, Han Yun¡¯er appeared. Her eyes held a knowing gaze as though she knew why Han Xue¡¯er was in such a fit of rage.
Seeing her approach, Han Xue¡¯er threw the iPad in front of her, and in a furious tone, she said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you promise to destroy Mu Xiaoxiao? What are you doing! Why haven¡¯t you started? Look at how smug she is right now! Do you want her arrogance to continue? I can¡¯t take this any longer!¡±
Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s face was dark and twisted. ¡°Of course not!¡±
She had also seen the video too.
However, what actually affected her the most was Bai Meijiao¡¯s reconciliation with Yin Shaojie the day before.
Yin Shaojie never ever went back to the same woman, and everyone knew it. Thus, she had never vainly hoped that she would be able to return to his side but was unable to hold it down when she learned the news. What made Bai Meijiao so special!
Even though she was the child of a mistress, Han Yun¡¯er had never felt like she had been beneath any other girl, especially Bai Meijiao. She believed that she was a hundred times better than her!
If Bai Meijiao could reconcile with Young Master Jie, why couldn¡¯t she?
Once that thought had surfaced, it bugged her constantly like a nightmare, and she was going mad just thinking about it.
Thus, she couldn¡¯t help but think that if Mu Xiaoxiao had never existed, could she then have had a shot at returning to Young Master Jie¡¯s side?
Han Xue¡¯er directed all her anger at Han Yun¡¯er. ¡°You asked for money, and I gave it to you! You asked for men, and I lent you my bodyguards! Why are you so useless! I don¡¯t care anymore ¡ª you better act NOW! I don¡¯t want to see Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s smug face anymore; I want her to be DESTROYED!¡±
¡°Got it. I¡¯ll get someone to take action today, but it could be more costly than expected,¡± Han Yun¡¯er cautioned.
Han Xue¡¯er sneered coldly and said, ¡°So what if it costs more? Don¡¯t I have money? Didn¡¯t your mum seduce my dad because she saw that he had money? If not, why would you be here? Hurry up and get sh*t done, you hear?¡±
She continued to berate her after she had finished these words.
Han Yun¡¯er stood with her head lowered. Her hands, which had curled into fists, rxed again.
¡°I¡¯ll do it now,¡± she replied softly, with no hint of emotion.
¡°Scram! Hurry up and get out! Useless piece of sh*t!¡± Han Xue¡¯er was almost mad with fury about the video, rage engulfing her entire being.
Even the butler frowned involuntarily at her harsh words.
He apanied Han Yun¡¯er out of the door personally and evenforted her, saying, ¡°Mistress Yun¡¯er, you know Missy¡¯s temper. Don¡¯t take it to heart. She said what she said only because she¡¯s angry and couldn¡¯t help herself. Please don¡¯t be sad anymore.¡±

Han Yun¡¯er, who was feeling stifled and depressed, instantly teared up after she heard hisforting words. Her voice was choked as she said, ¡°Thank you, Uncle Butler.¡±
The butler sighed and didn¡¯t know what else to say. After instructing the chauffeur to send her home, he turned and returned to the main house.
She seemed to still hear Han Xue¡¯er raging at people inside even after the door had closed.
Her eyes reddened with rage as she gazed steadily at this luxurious mansion, and her heart filled with jealousy.
Han Xue¡¯er, you have so many good things and people treat you well. If you¡¯re not going to cherish them, why aren¡¯t you giving them to me?
Her thoughts drifted to Han Qiqing.
They were both Hans, but their fates were vastly different.
Han Qiqing was born into one of the noblest families of the Big Four, and she was loved and pampered by all. She got to live life like a princess, and she had all the things that anyone could ever desire.
But she herself¡
Han Yun¡¯er gritted her teeth in resentment. Why did she have to be abused like that just because she was a child of a mistress?
Both of them were daughters of Han Guolin, but why could Han Xue¡¯er attend Shangde High while she had to attend Erzhong? Why could Han Xue¡¯er enjoy life as a rich missy, but she herself had to bend over backward to please everyone?
This was unfair!
Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s eyes were blood red now, and they held a terrifying maliciousness.
No one knew what she was thinking¡
¡
After school, in the afternoon.
Mu Xiaoxiao, Yin Shaojie, and their clique were walking along the school¡¯s hallway. Even if the morning¡¯s parade hadn¡¯t happened, their status would have attracted the attention of people around them.
No one dared to go near them, only gazing at them from afar.
This was an exclusive world no one else could enter.
¡°Then should we have a BBQ at Bamboo Garden tonight? I¡¯ve not been there in ages, and I¡¯m craving meat,¡± Han Qiqing, who was arm in arm with Mu Xiaoxiao, said happily.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and echoed her sentiments, ¡°I¡¯ve not had BBQ in ages too. Even though I¡¯ve had BBQ with my American ssmates asionally, it¡¯s different from ours over here.¡±
¡°There¡¯s so much more good food over here that America isn¡¯t our match at all! That¡¯s why I don¡¯t really like going overseas.¡± Han Qiqing gave a look of disdain as she said this. Her family had actually wanted to send her overseas to study, but she had protested vehemently against the idea.
The only things to eat in America were hamburgers, fries, barbecued meat, and sausages. If a foodie like her left China, she would never survive past half a month.
Song Shijun teased, ¡°You¡¯re a glutton! Anyone could probably kidnap you with the prospect of good food. I¡¯ll revoke our friendship if that happens!¡±
Han Qiqing retorted, ¡°Were we ever friends? Who are you? Humph! ¨q(¨s^¨t)¨r¡±
Yin Shaojie watched their bickering with a smile on his face.
The clique chatted andughed, looking like a harmonious bunch. The observers around them watched on enviously.
Mu Xiaoxiao spotted a familiar silhouette far away, and her gaze fixed upon it. Lu Yichen?
Contrasted with their lively gang, the sight of Lu Yichen¡¯s solitary figure walking looked really lonely.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little sad. ncing at Yin Shaojie, she said, ¡°I¡¯m going to go and say hi.¡±
She ran off before Yin Shaojie could answer.
Seeing that the person she was going to was Lu Yichen, Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face looked a little displeased.
However, he felt a little better when he remembered that she had at least informed him about it earlier.
It was just a greeting. If he didn¡¯t allow her even that, wouldn¡¯t that make him look petty?
Young Master Jie concluded that he was a really generous person!
He thought that, but his long legs still hurried to catch up with Mu Xiaoxiao.

It was as though Mu Xiaoxiao, who was in front, had a sixth sense, for she turned around and saw that he had, sure enough, chased after her. She stood her ground and red at him.
Yin Shaojie stopped in his tracks as well. The pair looked as though they were ying a game of ¡°red light/green light,¡± and it looked really amusing.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes signaled to him to stop following her!
Yin Shaojie¡¯s cocked a brow, signaling that it was beneath his dignity to follow her. If she didn¡¯t want him to follow her, so be it! Who cared!
Seeing that he really wasn¡¯t following her, she then walked briskly towards Lu Yichen. She tapped on his shoulder andughed happily, ¡°Yichen!¡±
Lu Yichen turned around to look at her with a hint of a smile with a cool expression on his face. ¡°It¡¯s you.¡±
Perhaps someone¡¯s gaze was too sharp, and he unconsciously looked behind her shoulder and spotted Yin Shaojie.
He gave a small smile and said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Have you made up with him?¡±
¡°Yep!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and walked over to stand beside him. Her face was full of warmth, and she smiled cutely as she said, ¡°How have you been recently? That guy threw a tantrum, so I couldn¡¯te and look for you then. Sorry about that.¡±
It¡¯s okay; I¡¯ve been busy preparing for my exams. There¡¯s a monthly examination this Friday for the Third Years.¡±
¡°You¡¯ll probably have no problem with that because you¡¯re a pro! I only knew you scored full marks for every subject when my friend mentioned it! How do you study?¡±
Even the usually solemn Lu Yichen had a hint of pride in his eyes when the topic of academics was breached.
He couldn¡¯t match up to most of Shangde High in background, but he was confident that he could surpass every single person in academics.
Everyone had their own birthright, and Lu Yichen had his too.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered something. Sneaking a nce at Yin Shaojie behind her, she leaned forward a little, and in a voice that only the both of them could hear, she said, ¡°I promised to treat you to somethingst time, didn¡¯t I? Let¡¯s find time after your test, and I¡¯ll treat you to some food.¡±
She had something she wanted to ask him then too.
Nearby, Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes narrowed as he observed Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s suspicious actions. What was this girl talking to that dude about?
Suddenly, the silhouette of a car shed past him at top speed.
¡°Yin Shaojie, that bike!¡±
Before Song Shijun cautioned, Yin Shaojie had already felt that something was off. However, he had still been slow on the uptake, but even if he could have been any faster, he could have never matched the speed of a motorbike at maximum eleration.
The motorbike¡¯s target was, surprisingly, Mu Xiaoxiao. Its collision course was straight ahead at her.
Yin Shaojie could only stare, wide-eyed and helpless, at the scene unfolding before his eyes. His eyes turned bloodshot, and his chest tightened in fear!
¡°Xiaoxiao ¡ª ¡±
¡°Careful!¡± Lu Yichen¡¯s gaze trembled with apprehension. The next second after he heard the shout, he swept Xiaoxiao into his embrace swiftly and turned to the side to protect her as he blocked the iing motorbike with his hand without any hesitation.
The motorbike brushed past them, the powerful momentum mming them onto the floor.
It was apparent that the culprit had nned this, for he didn¡¯t stop. He zoomed past the school gates after injuring them and disappeared.
¡°XIAOXIAO!¡± Yin Shaojie ignored the culprit, his attention only on Xiaoxiao, and dashed over.
¡°I-I¡¯m fine¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao struggled to get up from the ground. She had been protected in Lu Yichen¡¯s embrace, so she had not suffered an injury when she had fallen.
¡°Lu Yichen, are you alright?¡±
She turned to Lu Yichen, who was still prone on the ground. Unexpectedly, what met her eyes was arge pool of blood.
Lu Yichen was holding his right hand. His handsome face was dripping with cold sweat, his lips deathly pale.
¡°Lu Yichen!¡±
Chapter 187 - Hell Be Fine
Chapter 187: He¡¯ll Be Fine
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°LU YICHEN!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao panicked as she stared at the pool of blood, her face turning white with fear. She was so afraid that she couldn¡¯t even bear to look at his wound.
How could there be so much blood if it had been just a simple fall?!
Sure enough, Lu Yichen¡¯s right hand had a lengthy cut, and blood was bubbling forth from it.
¡°How could this have happened?¡± She looked terror-stricken as she stared helplessly at Lu Yichen, her hands trembling in fright.
No!
They couldn¡¯t let the blood continue to flow ¡ª they had to stop it¡
Yin Shaojie was not far from them and had rushed over as fast as possible. His expression turned chilly when he saw Lu Yichen¡¯s wound.
This wound was caused by a sharp knife!
He didn¡¯t think twice as he yanked a passing student¡¯s tie off and tied a makeshift tourniquet above Lu Yichen¡¯s wound hastily, even forgetting that this dude was a person he had a beef with. With the tight band on, the flow of blood slowed.
¡°Shijun! Call an ambnce!¡± he shouted to Shijun, who was running towards them.
Song Shijun froze for a moment before he answered hastily, ¡°Oh okay! I¡¯ll call one now!¡±
¡°Wait, get the doctor from the sick bay here first, ASAP! Call the ambnce after that.¡±
¡°Got it!¡±
Han Qiqing had also arrived. She was in fright at the bloody scene before her, and tears leaped to her eyes as she looked at Lu Yichen¡¯s pale face, feeling heartache at his situation. ¡°Lu Yichen¡ Are you alright? What happened? What is going on?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao, who was beside Lu Yichen, had long been reduced to tears. She didn¡¯t dare to touch him, but she moved really close to him and didn¡¯t dare to look at anything else but him, afraid that he would die.
Her voice was thick with sobs, and her voice shook as she said, ¡°Lu Yichen, how are you feeling? Jie, what¡¯re we going to do? He¡¯s bleeding so, so much! W-will he¡¡±
She was really scared but could only try tofort herself by saying that nothing would happen to Lu Yichen if Yin Shaojie was here in her heart.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s face was grave as he administered basic first aid on Lu Yichen, but this could only slow down the blood flow temporarily.
He looked at Mu Xiaoxiao beside him. His gaze was steady as he swept her into his embrace with a long arm.
In a low voice, he whispered words offort into her ear, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Nothing will happen to him.¡±
However, it was likely that his artery had been sliced from the amount of blood that was pouring forth. It would be dangerous if the blood flow was not stopped.
Mu Xiaoxiao leaped into Yin Shaojie¡¯s warm embrace and hugged him close, her body still shaking in fear.
She buried her head in his chest as she pleaded in a choked voice, ¡°Jie, you have to save him. Don¡¯t let him die¡¡±
Yin Shaojie kissed her head gently and said, ¡°Of course, I¡¯m right here.¡±
Perhaps that maic low voice of his had the power offort, or maybe it was the sound of his steady heartbeat. However, Mu Xiaoxiao gradually calmed down.
Bracing himself, Lu Yichen got up into a sitting position, not daring to touch his injured hand.
His lips were pale as though there was no more blood in his face.
He gritted his teeth and endured the frightening pain. He couldn¡¯t help but stare at the embracing figures right in front of him, and his gaze seemingly clouded over with a sense of loss.
After a few minutes, the doctor from the sick bay had rushed over and administered advanced first aid to Lu Yichen to reduce the blood flow.
After more than ten minutes, the ambnce finally arrived.

Luckily, Shangde High was located near a major hospital, or treatment would have been dyed even further.
Lu Yichen seemed to have fainted after he was loaded into the ambnce. Worried, Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to enter the ambnce to follow him but was stopped by Yin Shaojie.
The corners of Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes were still glistening with tears as she turned and red at him angrily. ¡°Why are you pulling on me!¡±
She thought that he hadn¡¯t wanted her to follow.
However, Lu Yichen was hurt only because he had been trying to protect her. How could she rx before she knew that he was safe?
Yin Shaojie red at her as well. ¡°I was going to drive you!¡±
No one knew if the ambnce was clean. What if it hadn¡¯t been cleaned properly after it had transported a sick patient?
This idiot!
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted, feeling wronged. ¡°You should¡¯ve said so earlier¡¡±
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t be bothered to argue with her. He was trying to suppress his emotions now, and he might just explode with anger if he were to speak another word.
He shot a look at Song Shijun beside him and said, ¡°You¡¯ll go with him!¡±
¡°Me?¡± Song Shijun was startled, but he had no choice but to get onto the ambnce hurriedly under Yin Shaojie¡¯s sharp, forceful gaze.
Time waits for no man, and the ambnce left swiftly.
Han Qiqing had wanted to invite herself onto the ambnce but didn¡¯t dare to interrupt and oppose Yin Shaojie¡¯s orders. She waited till Yin Shaojie pulled Mu Xiaoxiao over to his car before she also hurried after them.
¡°I want to go too!¡± She had to know that Lu Yichen was safe, or she would continue to be worried.
¡°What for!¡± Yin Shaojie roared at her, displeased.
Han Qiqing ignored his displeasure and entered his car shamelessly.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s face was severe as he got into the car.
¡°Hurry up and drive!¡± Noticing that the tail of the ambnce was nowhere to be seen, Mu Xiaoxiao became anxious.
Yin Shaojie swept a cold nce at her and said, vexed, ¡°Wipe your tears off first!¡±
He was extremely annoyed that she was crying for another guy. If Lu Yichen was not injured right now, he would have beaten him up definitely.
Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedly dried her tears with the corner of her shirt. ¡°Okay now? Hurry up!¡±
Feeling justified, Yin Shaojie then finally started the engine.
By the time they had arrived at the hospital, Lu Yichen was already in the A&E undergoing surgery.
Seeing them, a pale-faced Song Shijun said, ¡°The doctor said that his wound¡¯s were very deep and that his artery was injured. His condition isn¡¯t very optimistic¡¡±
The girls¡¯ emotions plunged to abysmal depths at these words.
Not very optimistic? What was going to happen then?
Their hearts seized at these words.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was very pale as though she was sick, and her eyes nked out.
Noticing almost instantly that something was wrong with her, Yin Shaojie quickly pulled her to his side. Supporting her face with his hands, he asked, concerned, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you feeling ufortable anywhere?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. Without saying a single word, she leaped into his arms and hugged him tight, her head buried in his chest, sobbing louder and louder.
Nearby, Han Qiqing was crying big fat tears as well.
Song Shijun¡¯s was confused. What was wrong with these girls? Even though the doctor had said that the wound was serious, he hadn¡¯t said that his life was in danger! That shouldn¡¯t warrant so many tears, should it?
¡°What are you crying for? The doctor didn¡¯t say that he was going to die anyway¡¡±
Before he could finish his sentence, Han Qiqing gave him an angry p and pulled him aside.
¡°Shut up! You idiot!¡±
Song Shijun was even more confused now. ¡°Even though Lu Yichen saved Xiaoxiao, should she really be crying that much? Those who don¡¯t know better might mistake Xiaoxiao for liking him.¡±
Han Qiqing rolled her eyes at him. ¡°You idiot! Have you forgotten? The thing about Xiaoxiao¡¯s mom passing away¡¡±
Chapter 189
189 Mu Xiaoxiao in the Past
Trantor: AsStudios | Editor: AsStudios /As Studios
Song Shijun froze for a few seconds after hearing her words. He suddenly understood everything, and it showed in his face.
Mu Xiaoxiao had gone to America to studyrgely because her mother had gone there to treat her illness. However, she had still passed away after half a year. From then on, the Mus stayed in America and didn¡¯t really return home anymore.
It was because of this that they hadn¡¯t had much interaction with Mu Xiaoxiao these past four years.
However, Song Shijun quickly became confused again. ¡°But what¡¯s Lu Yichen¡¯s injury got to do with her mom¡¯s passing?¡±
Han Qiqing sighed again. ¡°Perhaps¡ It might be what you mentioned earlier, something about the situation not being optimistic. I think she¡¯s heard that phrase countless times when her mom was sick too, so she would be scared to hear such a term.¡±
However, this was only a guess on her part. She was not only a girl but also Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s best friend, so she could guess what Mu Xiaoxiao was thinking.
When she had seen how Mu Xiaoxiao had cried earlier, her first instinct led her to think about Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mom¡¯s passing.
This made Han Qiqing remember uncontrobly about three-and-a-half years ago, which was when Mu Xiaoxiao had just left for America for half a year before her mom died. She had still been in constant contact with Mu Xiaoxiao then. Mu Xiaoxiao would call her to have heart-to-heart talks, where she would cry as she talked, confiding that she didn¡¯t want her mum to leave her side.
After that, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mom passed away. Perhaps Mu Xiaoxiao was too sad, causing their contact to lessen.
Han Qiqing gazed over at her. Looking at Mu Xiaoxiao crying as her face was buried in Yin Shaojie¡¯s chest made her feel sad. It was as though they had returned to that time when Mu Xiaoxiao had cried to her as she said, ¡°I love my Mama, and I don¡¯t want her to leave me.¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s eyes gradually teared up again.
Noticing that she was crying again, he was at a loss of what to do and said, ¡°Aiyoh, why are you crying again? It¡¯s one thing for Xiaoxiao to cry, but why are you crying too?¡±
He searched his clothes from top to bottom but couldn¡¯t find a tissue.
In the end, he stopped a passer-by and borrowed some tissues, giving it to Han Qiqing.
Han Qiqing took it, and it quickly became soaked.
Song Shijun gave her another piece, and Han Qiqing held it to her eyes again.
¡°Do you want to give some to Xiaoxiao? You can take it to her,¡± he suggested. His gaze traveled to them, and he didn¡¯t dare to go over himself.
Han Qiqing had finally stopped crying, but her eyes were still a little wet. She shot a re at him as she replied, ¡°Are you an idiot? Do you not see Yin Shaojie there? Xiaoxiao¡¯s tears have already been wiped on his shirt, which makes your tissues useless.¡±
Song Shijun realized this and kept the packet of tissues embarrassedly.
However, before he could do that, Han Qiqing snatched it away and said, ¡°Give me the packet.¡±
Song Shijun stared into her reddened eyes. He didn¡¯t tease her as usual as he asked, ¡°Do you still need more? If you do, I can go out and buy you some.¡±
¡°No, why would I? Do you want me to continue crying?¡± Han Qiqing replied unagreeably.
Song Shijun was speechless.
He was only trying to be considerate for once. Why was this so hard!
Meanwhile.
After a while, the door to the operating theater opened. Everyone crowded around the doctor as soon as he came out.
Mu Xiaoxiao had just finished sobbing, and her reflexes were a little slow.
Han Qiqing was the first one to dash over. ¡°Doctor, Doctor! How¡¯s the patient?¡± she inquired anxiously.
¡°The patient¡¡± The doctor had wanted to put on some airs as he revealed the information but changed his attitude to that of an amicable one when he met Yin Shaojie¡¯s alpha-male gaze. ¡°The patient¡¯s operation went well, but¡¡±
Chapter 190
190 She Was Really Acting Weird!
Trantor: AsStudios | Editor: AsStudios /As Studios
¡°But what! Hurry up and tell us!¡± Han Qiqing was losing patience and almost wanted to leap onto him and grab his cor.
The doctor hurriedly said, ¡°But his injury is a little deeper, and he hurt his muscles and bones. Because of this, he will need half a month to recover. During this time, he will not be able to use his right hand to carry heavy things, and it would be best if he doesn¡¯t use it too much as it may cause hidden damage.
¡°What kind of hidden damage?¡±
The doctor said awkwardly, ¡°This is a little hard to say¡¡±
Han Qiqing exploded in anger and bellowed, ¡°Can¡¯t you give an example or something!¡±
The doctor wiped the cold sweat that had formed before replying, ¡°For example, his hand may not be as flexible as before, or he may contract gout. Anyway, he has to get a lot of rest during this half-month and not move it, or he¡¯ll regret it, understood?¡±
¡°So if he just rests and doesn¡¯t use it, his hand will recover to the way it was before?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked, concerned about this most important point.
The doctor nodded. ¡°Yes.¡±
Everyone gave a sigh of relief at his answer.
However, this half-month would be torture. If anything happened in between, Mu Xiaoxiao would be extremely worried about it, for Lu Yichen had only been hurt because of her. If Lu Yichen¡¯s hand became even more damaged, she would feel extremely guilty.
After sending off the doctor, they had wanted to visit Lu Yichen in his room to see how he was doing, but the nurse told them that Lu Yichen still needed blood transfusions because he had lost too much and was still asleep. It would be best if they did not disturb the patient and let him have a quiet environment to rest.
With no choice but toply, Yin Shaojie arranged for him to have a VIP room and a designated nurse before he led Mu Xiaoxiao and the rest out of the ce.
Back at the apartment.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked gloomy. It was impossible to know what she was thinking, and she looked as though she was not her usual self.
Yin Shaojie looked at the time. It was almost nine o¡¯clock now, and realizing that both of them had not had dinner yet and afraid that she was hungry, he asked, ¡°Xiaoxiao, what do you want to eat? I¡¯ll call for delivery now and expedite it.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t reply and walked into the washroom.
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t understand why she was acting this way, and upon thinking that she might still be worried about that dude, he became displeased.
It couldn¡¯t be that this wretch had fallen in love with that dude, right?
With that thought, Yin Shaojie¡¯s face became gloomy.
Even though she hadn¡¯t replied, Yin Shaojie still ordered delivery based on her tastes. He couldn¡¯t let both of them go hungry, so they had to eat no matter what.
When Yin Shaojie came out from his study, he found the living room dark and unlit.
¡°Why aren¡¯t the lights on?¡±
Just as he was about to turn the lights on, he heard a hoarse and thin voice waft over from the darkness, ¡°Don¡¯t turn the lights on¡¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned. ¡°Xiaoxiao? What¡¯s wrong?¡±
She was really acting weird!
He could hear her sniffling in the darkness.
This girl was¡ Crying?
Theck of knowledge about her feeling this way made Yin Shaojie weirdly frustrated. However, he still walked over to the sofa, and using the moonlight that was shining in through the window, he felt about for Mu Xiaoxiao.
She was naturally small, but she looked even smaller now that she was curled into a corner of the sofa.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± This time, his tone was much gentler, and he moved closer to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt his closeness, and unable to help herself, she closed the distance between them. Grabbing the corner of his shirt, she leaned her little face onto his shoulder, her voice choked up from crying.
¡°Yin Shaojie, I miss my Mama¡¡±
Chapter 191
191 I¡¯ll Never Forget Her
Trantor: AsStudios | Editor: AsStudios /As Studios
Yin Shaojie¡¯s heart felt like it had shattered when he heard her cry, and it ached for her.
He enveloped her into his embrace with a sweep of his long arm and hugged her tight, kissing her forehead gently.
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed like she couldn¡¯t hold it in any longer as she wept loudly as though she was a child who had lost everything, sobbing without abandon.
¡°Mama! Mama, I miss you so much. I really really miss you so much! Uwah ¡ª ¡±
Her tears flowed thickly, wetting the front of his shirt quickly.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes teared up as he listened to her sorrowful cries¡
His throat felt like it had been choked up by something, and he didn¡¯t know what to say tofort her.
He could only hug her close and give her warmth through his embrace. He kissed her cheeks softly and kissed the tears running down her face as well until his kisses reached her eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao sniffled as she sobbed. ¡°Y-Yin Shaojie¡ D-Do you still remember my Mama? Will you ever forget her?¡± she asked, her voice all choked up.
It had been three-and-a-half years since her beloved Mama had left her and her Papa. It had been three-and-a-half years.
Sometimes, she would think about this sadly: Other than her and Papa, who would remember Mama?
She didn¡¯t want to forget her Mama, but her heart would hurt every time she thought about her. This made her conflicted, and she was sometimes really confused ¡ª should she think about her Mama at all?
Yin Shaojie answered in a low voice, ¡°Of course not. I still remember Mama Mu, and I will never forget her.
¡°N-Never ever forget her?¡± She was crying terribly and coughed a few times.
¡°Yes, I¡¯ll never ever forget her.¡±
He nodded. He meant every word of what he said.
This made Yin Shaojie reminisce about Mama Mu uncontrobly. She was an extremely gentle and beautiful woman, and he also remembered her as a great cook. When he was little and had gone over to the Mus to y, Mama Mu would always make cute and delicious snacks for both of them.
Thus, he was also very sad when he heard of Mama Mu¡¯s passing. It was his first experience of sorrow from a person¡¯s passing.
Life was really fragile. Once a person was dead, there was nothing left, and you would never be able to see them again.
Suddenly, Yin Shaojie recalled what had happened today.
Lu Yichen had been injured by a sharp instrument. His wound was also really long. Who knew how long that knife had been?
That person¡¯s target had been Xiaoxiao. If Lu Yichen hadn¡¯t been there to protect her, wouldn¡¯t that knife have been stabbed into her body?
Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm around her tightened as he imagined that frightening possibility.
He felt his heart go cold and his blood rush down from his face. He shivered uncontrobly.
¡°Yin Shaojie¡ You¡¯re hugging me too tightly¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao felt ufortable from his sudden squeeze, and her brows furrowed in protest.
Her voice was already hoarse from crying. If she cried more, she probably wouldn¡¯t be able to speak the next day.
Yin Shaojie took a few deep breaths to calm himself down before his heart rxed a little.
He could feel the person in his embrace. She was still here; she wasn¡¯t injured.
He appeared to confirm her existence like this for a few more times before he could release the breath that he had been holding.
¡°Don¡¯t cry anymore, alright? My heart¡¯s going crazy from your crying,¡± he said in a low voice, and he once again kissed her tears away with his warm lips.
Mu Xiaoxiao slowly stopped her tears, but his breath still hitched from crying for so long.
¡°Good, you¡¯re a good girl,¡± Yin Shaojie said, his gaze tender.
Chapter 192
192 I¡¯m Missed You
Trantor: AsStudios | Editor: AsStudios /As Studios
¡°I¡ªI want tissues¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said embarrassedly as she sniffed. Although the lights to the living room were not lit, she could feel that his shirt was already wet as sheid on his chest, and she didn¡¯t want to inconvenience him further by wiping her snot on his shirt.
Yin Shaojie did not release her from his embrace, but he merely turned his body and reached out his long arm to get several tissues for her from the coffee table behind him.
¡°Does crying make you feel better?¡± he asked gently, unlike his usual tyrannical, rascally self.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and sped her nose with the tissue.
Seeing that it waste and that the food delivery could arrive anytime soon, he asked, ¡°Can we turn on the lights now?¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded again, acting very obedient.
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help but smile. If this wretch usually behaved like this, how great would that be?
However, he thought that if she didn¡¯t bicker with him, he might miss the fun.
Yin Shaojie let go of her. He grabbed a pillow from beside him and stuffed it into her bosom as a substitute in his ce. He then got down from the sofa and went to switch on the lights.
Then, he went to the fridge to retrieve a bottle of mineral water.
¡°Drink some water.¡± He passed it over to her. It was only then that he saw that she had cried her eyes out, making her eyes bright red, redder than a rabbit¡¯s eye.
He furrowed his brows and said, ¡°Look at you. Your eyes are swollen from crying.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s throat was dry from crying. After a few mouthfuls of water, she felt much morefortable.
Having heard him, she realized that her eyes were dry and painful. She then held up the cold bottle and pressed it on her eyelids.
¡°You should drink more water. I¡¯ll get another drink for you to ice the area¡±.
As he was speaking, Yin Shaojie went to the fridge again and took out a can of c. He came back and ced the can on the coffee table in front of her.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat cross-legged on the sofa, and she gulped down half the bottle of water. She then held up the can of c and iced her eyes, alternating sides every few seconds.
Yin Shaojie sat beside her, watching her, and he asked, ¡°Are you hungry?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, still looking listless. Her wet, ck eyes looked at him, and she said, ¡°I want¡ to call my dad.¡±
¡°Okay. Go call him,¡± he replied, and he took out the phone from her bag and passed it to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao did not even need to move.
She took the phone and dialed her dad¡¯s cell phone number.
With a few rings, the call was picked up.
Before her dad could make a sound, Mu Xiaoxiao was already choking up, and she called out softly, ¡°Dad.¡±
Papa Mu¡¯s voice was heard over the phone as he seemed to have noticed something odd with her. He asked, ¡°Baby, what¡¯s wrong?¡±
She had tried to repress her emotions, yet Papa Mu still picked up on it. Mu Xiaoxiao felt warmth in her heart.
¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just missed you¡¡±
¡°Daddy misses you too. Are you adjusting well back in China? How are you getting along with Little Jie?¡±
¡°Yeah¡ We¡ get along fine. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m doing well here. Daddy, when I¡¯m not by your side, you need to take good care of yourself, alright?/¡±
Papa Muughed. Shouldn¡¯t he be the one saying that?
¡°I got it. Daddy will take good care of myself. You should too. Don¡¯t bully Little Jie, okay? The two of you should try to get along and cultivate your feelings.¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t! He was the one who always bullied me¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao protested as she red at Yin Shaojie.

When Mu Xiaoxiao hung up the phone, Yin Shaojie saw her reluctance to part, and he suddenly stood up, held his hand out to her, and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled as she looked at him and asked, ¡°What for? Where are we going? Isn¡¯t the takeout arriving soon?¡±
¡°We¡¯re not eating takeouts anymore. Let¡¯s go home to eat!¡± Yin Shaojie said dashingly.
Seeing that she was still puzzled, he spontaneously moved to her, held her hand, and pulled her up from the sofa.
¡°Go home to eat?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked nk as she still had not caught up to the situation.
Yin Shaojieughed, ¡°Dummy! There¡¯s only one home we can go to. Let¡¯s go.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly realized. So he was referring to Yin residence?
¡°But¡ it¡¯ste. Won¡¯t we be disturbing Mama Yin and Papa Yin? Let¡¯s not go back and just eat the food we ordered. The food will arrive soon anyways.¡±
Yin Shaojie rolled his eyes at her and said, ¡°It¡¯s my home. How is that disturbing?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao agreed, and she allowed him to pull her along.
As Yin Shaojie held her with one hand, he called home with the phone in his other hand to get the kitchen to prepare a meal.
¡°Hey! Slow down. I need to change my shoes.¡±
Yin Shaojie released her hand. After the call, he remembered something. He then went into the kitchen to get a new can of c, and he walked back to her and ced it in her hand.
¡°Ice your eyester in the car.¡±
If Papa Yin and Mama Yin saw her in this state, they might think that he was the one who had provoked her.
¡°Oh okay,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao replied nkly. As she changed her shoes, Yin Shaojie held her hand again and pulled her as they walked out.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but lower her head, watching nkly at how they were holding hands. She suddenly recalled that ever since she hade back to China, this was the first time he had held her hand as if he was afraid she would get lost.
Yeah, it feels like back when we were young. She was smiling sweetly in her heart.
¡
Back at Yin residence, Mama Yin cordially came over and hugged Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°Darling Xiaoxiao!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s stomach was already rumbling with hunger back in the car, and she could only think of eating. Especially with the fragrant smell of the dishes, she wanted to jump straight to the food.
¡°Mama Yin¡¡± But facing Mama Yin¡¯s loving care, she could not bear to push her away.
Yin Shaojie shot a nce at the olddy. He walked up and pulled out Mu Xiaoxiao, and he said to Mama Yin, ¡°Mom, we¡¯re hungry. Let us eat something first, alright?¡±
Mama Yin only then noticed Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face, and she felt sorry and said, ¡°Aiyoh, Xiaoxiao looks like she has lost weight, hasn¡¯t she? Quickly, go have your meals. Why haven¡¯t you two eaten yet?¡±
Papa Yin then signaled to the servants with his hands to prepare the meals.
Yin Shaojie pulled Mu Xiaoxiao to sit at the dining table. He scanned the table of dishes, and he took a bowl from the servant, scooped some soup, and ced it in front of Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°Drink this bowl of soup. Ease your stomach first then eat some rice,¡± he urged her.
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao replied obediently as she couldn¡¯t stand the hunger anymore. She was already so hungry that she could eat a whole cow.
Mama Yin and Papa Yin sat at one side and watched them eat.
Mama Yin pulled his husband aside and covered her mouth as sheughed. She moved closer beside his ears and said, ¡°Look at how close they are.¡±
When Mu Xiaoxiao was almost done eating, Yin Shaojie scooped another bowl of soup for her.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and said, ¡°I¡¯m full¡¡±
¡°Drink some more.¡± His tone was insistent as he returned to his usual bossy self.

When Mu Xiaoxiao thought about it, she realized that what she had been eating at home hadn¡¯t been that nutritious, so she drank it obediently.
At this moment, Mama Yin smiled gently as she looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°Xiaoxiao, can you tell Mama Yin about the progress¡ between you two?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was scooping up the soup to drink when she heard that, and she instantly choked on the soup.
¡°Kuh kuh¡ M-Mama Yin, why are you asking about this?¡±
She blushed, feeling embarrassed as she looked at Mama Yin.
Mama Yin cast a nce at Yin Shaojie, looking annoyed. She then said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°This boy wouldn¡¯t talk to me about it. As a mother, I am very concerned about whether you two are making any progress. I have no choice but to ask you this.¡±
She hinted to Mu Xiaoxiao as she winked at her and said, ¡°Have you at least kissed?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was even redder. ¡°N-not yet¡¡±
However, Yin Shaojie felt guilty and avoided looking at them.
Mama Yin was not convinced. ¡°How¡¯s that possible!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to hide her embarrassment, and she lowered her head to drink the soup.
Looking at her son, Mama Yin smiled meaningfully and said, ¡°Little Jie, have you used the gift that I ced in your bedroom from before?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly.
A gift?
Is she be referring to¡ that box of Durex?
¡°Pfff¡ªKuh kuh kuh!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao choked again. This time was more severe, as her face was all red, and she was too embarrassed to even look at Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face was also slightly red. Acting dissatisfied, he said to his mother, ¡°Mom, can you let us eat in peace? Do you want Xiaoxiao to choke to death?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly stood up and said, ¡°Uh¡ I¡¯m full! I¡¯m going to the washroom!¡±
Then, she flew out of the dining room.
Yin Shaojie cast a nce at his mother.
Seeing that Mu Xiaoxiao had left, Mama Yin quickly shifted over beside Yin Shaojie, and she advised him softly and earnestly, ¡°Son, why have you not taken action? Actually, girls are easy to coax. Think of a way to get your foot in the door with her, then¡¡±
Yin Shaojie stood up quickly and said, ¡°I¡¯m full too!¡±
To prevent exposing himself through his expressions, he quickly left the scene.
Mama Yin sighed and grumbled to her husband, ¡°Now that our son is grown up and independent, he¡¯s not talking to me anymore.¡±
Papa Yin didn¡¯t know what else to do, so he wrapped his arm around her shoulders andforted her, ¡°Darling, you can try to be a little more tactful next time.¡±
¡°Was I too blunt?¡± Mama Yin had a look of disbelief.
Papa Yin nodded and said, ¡°Very blunt.¡±
Mama Yin replied embarrassedly, ¡°Okay then¡¡±
Oh yeah, I should have taken Xiaoxiao to a room alone before asking her. There wouldn¡¯t have been any problems then. Xiaoxiao must have felt that speaking in front of so many people was too embarrassing.
As Mu Xiaoxiao came out from the washroom, she heard the voices of Mama Yin and Papa Yin.
Papa Yin said, ¡°Cut some watermelons. It¡¯s good to eat watermelons in this weather.¡±
Mama Yin said, ¡°No, Xiaoxiao likes to eat honeydew. Cut some honeydews. We just bought some fresh honeydews today. Cut it quickly so that she can eat it when shees out. Oh yeah, and strawberries. Strawberries are her favorite.¡±
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and felt warm inside.
She immediately understood why Yin Shaojie had wanted to take her back to the Yin residence so suddenly.

Seeing that Mu Xiaoxiao had walked out, Mama Yin quickly waved to her and said, ¡°Xiaoxiao,e quickly and have some fruit. We have strawberries, your favorite.¡±
¡°Great!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled splendidly as she walked over, and Mama Yin pulled her to sit beside her.
Then, a basin of fruit was stuffed in Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hands as if it was all for her.
¡°See if they are sweet. There are also other fruits. If you like to eat those, just let us know,¡± Short of feeding Mu Xiao Xiao herself, she was showing her lots of love.
¡°Thank you, Mama Yin.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was filled with warmth, which seemed to be erasing the painful feelings.
Mama Yin said, ¡°How about you two sleep here for the night? Don¡¯t go back to the condo, alright? The bedroom for the two of you is already prepared. There is always someone cleaning it every day. You two cane back anytime to sleepover.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was touched. She hadn¡¯t known that Mama Yin would do so many things for her.
¡°Yeah, okay. Oh yeah, where is Jie? Where did he go?¡±
When she wasing out of the washroom, he was already nowhere to be seen. He couldn¡¯t have left her here alone, could he?
Mama Yin said, ¡°He answered a call just now. It seemed to be urgent. Look, he¡¯s here.¡±
Just as she said that, Yin Shaojie walked toward them. However, his expression changed. He looked impatient.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him, puzzled. Did someone make him angry?
Yin Shaojie said to her, ¡°Let¡¯s go. We need to go to the hospital. The hospital called and said that something hase up with that fellow.¡±
¡°What happened?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was tense upon hearing that, fearing that something bad may have happened to Lu Yichen.
Mama Yin heard that they were going to the hospital, and she asked worriedly, ¡°What happened? Why are you going to the hospital?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao exined, ¡°A friend was injured and hospitalized. We have to go and have a look, so we¡¯ll be backter.¡±
Mama Yin stood up and said, ¡°Do you need me toe along?¡±
Yin Shaojie squinted at her and said, ¡°No need! It¡¯s not a big deal. It¡¯s fine with just me and Xiaoxiao. You should sleep early.¡±
With that said, he held Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand and quickly left.
Mama Yin asked, ¡°Then, are you stilling back to sleep?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao turned and waved at her, and she replied hurriedly, ¡°We will! Mama Yin, you should go to bed first. Once we are done, we¡¯ll be back. You don¡¯t have to worry about us.¡±
Before her voice faded out, the two were already nowhere to be seen.
After rushing to the hospital.
Mu Xiaoxiao was very anxious, as she ran from the car to the hospital.
There were many people in the hospital, and Yin Shaojie saw her nearly knock into people several times. He furrowed his brows as he pulled her to his side, hooked onto her shoulders and said, ¡°Can you slow down? There are doctors here. The fellow can¡¯t go anywhere.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t stop worrying. ¡°The doctor already said that he couldn¡¯t move his hands. Why is he rushing to get discharged?¡±
¡°Who knows!¡± That fellow is really a pain in the ass!¡± Yin Shaojie had a look of disdain.
Though the fellow was only hurt because of Mu Xiaoxiao, he still disliked him.
Besides, was there even a need to like him?
Absolutely not!
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him unhappily, ¡°How could you say that about him? He definitely has his reasons!¡±
When they finally reached the ward, they heard Lu Yichen¡¯s anxious voice. ¡°Doctor, I really need to get discharged. Please!¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly as she walked in. It was the first time that she had seen Lu Yichen so flustered.
What happened to him? Why does he need to get discharged so urgently?
Yin Shaojie walked up to him with his long legs without hesitation, and he said in a harsh tone, ¡°Hey Lu, what are you doing? An injured person should stay in the hospital!¡±
Seeing that he was here, Lu Yichen¡¯s expression became grave again. He coldly shot a nce at Yin Shaojie and said, ¡°Young Master Yin, I don¡¯t need you to worry about me. I understand my own situation. I¡¯m fine, and I can be discharged.¡±
Yin Shaojie sneered and said, ¡°Who the hell is worried about you! If you hadn¡¯t saved Xiaoxiao, I wouldn¡¯t even be bothering with you.¡±
The doctor and the nurse retreated to one side and wiped the sweat off their foreheads.
The situation was bad; the two looked like they were going to start quarreling. It was the first time that she had seen Yin Shaojie and Lu Yichen meet face to face. The enmity was intense, and it was as if they might just blow up at any time.
She quickly stepped forward and pulled back Yin Shaojie. She then lowered her head and said to him angrily, ¡°I told you not to speak in this tone! You¡¯re driving me crazy!¡±
As she pulled him away, Mu Xiaoxiao took a step forward, looked worriedly at Lu Yichen with her big eyes, and said to him, ¡°Yichen, your hand is severely injured. The doctor said that you shouldn¡¯t move it recklessly for half a month, or it will be hard to recover. Can you stay in the hospital for at least two days? If you have any matters outside, let me help you with it, alright?¡±
Lu Yichen looked at her eyes very solemnly, but he shook his head and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I can¡¯t stay here, so I need to be discharged. Xiaoxiao, can you help me?¡±
His tone changed toward the end as he seemed to be pleading with her. Mu Xiaoxiao could not bear it and grew soft-hearted.
¡°But¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at his hand worriedly.
She recalled the doctor¡¯s words that if he did not recuperate properly, his hand might not be able to recover to its original state. He wouldn¡¯t be able to do heavy jobs, and he might not be able to even hold up a pen.
Thus, she was gritting her teeth. Even if she did not feel like it, she had to refuse him, and she said, ¡°No, you really can¡¯t be discharged. Yichen, I¡¯m begging you, alright? Just stay here for two days. Just two days, okay?
Lu Yichen continued to insist. ¡°Xiaoxiao, I really need to be dis¡¡±
Before he could finish saying, Yin Shaojie shouted impatiently, ¡°We¡¯re letting you stay, so you just stay here! Enough with the nonsense! You don¡¯t want your hand anymore, do you?¡±
Lu Yichen endured silently, and he couldn¡¯t help but look at the clock on the wall. It was already ten.
His gaze was riveted at Yin Shaojie, and he said with great emphasis, ¡°My mother is at home waiting for me. If I don¡¯t go back, she will be very worried!¡±
The ward was in absolute silence.
Mu Xiaoxiao was moved. She looked at Lu Yichen and said anxiously, ¡°What should we do then? You¡¯re in no condition to leave now.¡±
The tyrannical Yin Shaojie softened his tone, but he still said in a harsh tone, ¡°Can¡¯t you just make a call and tell your mother a white lie? Tell her that you are sleeping over at your friend¡¯s ce? It¡¯s so easy!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement and said, ¡°Yeah yeah, Just tell her that you are sleeping over at your friend¡¯s ce. That is very normal.¡±
Lu Yichen smiled bitterly. Shaking his head, he sighed and said, ¡°My mother won¡¯t believe me¡ I¡¯ve never been to a friend¡¯s ce to sleepover. If I suddenly told such a lie, do you think she would believe me?

When she heard his words, Mu Xiaoxiao felt her heart ache because she felt bad for him.
Ever since he was young, he has never been to sleepovers with friends?
She recalled that he also went home from school alone today. He was always keeping to himself and did not seem like he had any good friends.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Yin Shaojie seriously and asked him, ¡°What shall we do then?¡±
Yin Shaojie clicked his tongue in frustration. He cast a nce at Lu Yichen, and he turned around and walked toward the doctor to discuss something.
A few minutester, he came back and said to Lu Yichen, ¡°You can be discharged.¡±
Lu Yichen¡¯s eyes widened, and he said, slightly agitated, ¡°Really?¡±
He quickly tried to get out of bed.
But Yin Shaojie continued to say, ¡°But you have to ept my arrangements. First, there will be an intensive care nurse sent to your ce to take care of you. Second, you have toe back to the hospital in the day, and you can only go back home at night.¡±
¡°This¡¡± Lu Yichen was hesitating. ¡°But, I have sses.¡±
Yin Shaojie sneered coldly and said, ¡°You still want to attend sses in your current state? You really don¡¯t want to keep your hand, do you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nudged him with her elbow and red at him. Then, she turned to Lu Yichen, her manners bing gentle as she said softly to him, ¡°Yichen, just ept it, okay? Your hand was injured from saving me. If anything bad happened to you, I¡¯ll feel guilty for the rest of my life.¡±
Lu Yichen looked at her eyes, and he finallypromised.
It was alreadyte. It would be bad If he dyed any longer.
The doctor discussed the n and made some adjustments to fasten Lu Yichen¡¯s hand. Then, an intensive care nurse apanied him, and they left in the car that Yin Shaojie had prepared.
Mu Xiaoxiao was worried, and she sat in Yin Shaojie¡¯s car as they followed him.
In the car.
Mu Xiaoxiao nced at Yin Shaojie, who was driving. Seeing his cold expression, it seemed that he was still angry, and she felt apologetic.
She said, ¡°Thank you, Jie. Lu Yichen was hurt because of me. I should be the one taking care of him, but you were the one who did so much instead.¡±
Yin Shaojie already hated Lu Yichen, yet he still had to help him.
Just as she finished talking, the traffic light turned red, and they stopped.
Yin Shaojie turned to look at her, his eyes dark and gloomy, and he snorted, ¡°If I didn¡¯t send a nurse, would you have wanted to take care of him personally?¡±
He knew she would do that!
What could he have done? If he hadn¡¯t intervened, would he have to watch her help that guy personally?
Impossible!
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t dare to admit that. Seeing that Yin Shaojie was bearing it silently, she took the hint and knew that she should be coaxing him instead.
Thus, she quickly smiled gently and said, ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for you, I wouldn¡¯t know what to do. I would be in a panic and do nothing right.¡±
¡°Uh-huh.¡± Yin Shaojie fixed his gaze on her as if waiting for her to continue speaking.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly responded. She fawned on him as she hugged his arm, raised her head, smiled, and said, ¡°Jie, you are my guardian, my Superman! I can¡¯t do without you!¡±
It was truly pleasant to hear. Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression loosened up, and he couldn¡¯t help but let out a smile.
She was usually either mocking him or bickering with him. Hearing her say these sweet words to him instead was music to his ears!

Yin Shaojie smiled with his alluring pursed lips. He shifted his elegant face closer to her and pointed at his cheeks. The hint was obvious.
Mu Xiaoxiao yed dumb, batting her big, bright eyes. She then looked forward and said, ¡°It¡¯s a green light! Hurry up, start the car.¡±
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes, and he suddenly extended his neck toward her and kissed her on the cheek.
¡°Hey!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao blushed, looking at him bashfully.
Yin Shaojie smiled with demonic charm and said, ¡°This is to reward you.¡±
Facing his deep, dark eyes, Mu Xiaoxiao strangely felt her face bing hotter.
¡°Hurry up and drive!¡± She reached her hand to push his face forward to stop him from looking at her, lest her heart start acting erratically.
Yin Shaojie smiled faintly. Without bothering her, he then focused on driving.
Mu Xiaoxiao did not want him to realize that she was blushing. Thus, she turned her head toward the car window, pretending to look at the scenery.
However, the spot where he kissed seemed to still retain the warmth from his lips.
Suddenly, an image floated in her mind. It was from earlier in the condo when she was crying terribly, and he hugged her and kissed away her tears.
In that moment, Yin Shaojie was unfathomably gentle.
¡°We¡¯re here.¡±
An attractive voice pulled Mu Xiaoxiao back from her thoughts.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked forward in a daze. Sure enough, the car in front had stopped, and Lu Yichen got out of the car with the help of the nurse.
She instinctively turned toward Yin Shaojie, but his face just happened to close in on her.
The two stared at each other.
¡°You look dazed. What¡¯s the matter with you?¡± Yin Shaojie asked, his dark eyes fixated on her.
The two was very close. Mu Xiaoxiao felt as if she had caught a whiff of his manly smell, and her heart skipped a beat.
She suddenly turned back to get out of the car quickly.
Yin Shaojie could not read what was on her mind. Was she thinking about Lu Yichen?
Before them was a very old residential block, and Lu Yichen stood before the metal gate. He looked at them and said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to send me up. Thank you.¡±
From the looks of the ce, Mu Xiaoxiao understood why he didn¡¯t want them to follow. Thus, she smiled, nodded considerately, and said, ¡°Yeah. Don¡¯t worry. We will visit you again tomorrow at the hospital.¡±
Yin Shaojie was in a good mood. His attitude toward Lu Yichen seemed to have improved. After instructing the nurse, he even said to Lu Yichen, ¡°Don¡¯t act tough and listen to the nurse. She¡¯s a professional and expensive. You have to let her to her job.¡±
Lu Yichen shot a nce at him and replied impassively, ¡°Yeah, I got it.¡±
With thepany of the nurse, he went up the block.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie got in the car and drove home.
In the car, Mama Yin suddenly thought of something. She stared at Yin Shaojie and asked curiously, ¡°Eh? It seemed like Lu Yichen did not mention his father. Could he have a bad rtionship with his father? If his father is more understanding, we might have been able to have him tell a white lie to his mother. This way, he wouldn¡¯t have needed to be discharged.¡±
¡°No.¡± Yin Shaojie cast a nce at her and scoffed lightly, saying, ¡°Hees from a single parent family. It¡¯s just him and his mother.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly understood. ¡°So that¡¯s why!¡±
No wonder Lu Yichen was so worried about his mother.
Eh, this is not right!
Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head and looked at him in amazement. ¡°How is it that you know him so well?¡±
Chapter 199 - Its Not So Simple
Chapter 199: It¡¯s Not So Simple
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Yin Shaojie seemed as if he had heard nothing. He did not reply, simply looking outside and reversing the car.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao was not so easy to fool. She reached out and pulled on his arm, asking, ¡°Hey, how exactly do you know about this? Don¡¯t you hate Lu Yichen? Why do you know so much about him?¡±
That was most odd!
With his personality, he wouldn¡¯t bother to know more about the people he hated.
What¡¯s more, even Yu Zhe was not clear on Lu Yichen¡¯s family situation and only knew that he came from a poorer background. No one knew that Lu Yichen came from a single parent family.
But, how did Yin Shaojie know about that?
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that she smelled a rat. Was Yin Shaojie hiding something from her? Was their dispute really as simple as Qiqing described?
¡°Hey! Tell me!¡± Seeing that he was keeping quiet, she grew more curious.
Yin Shaojie turned and gave her a disapproving look, and he looked at the hand that was grabbing his arm and said, ¡°Don¡¯t you know this is very dangerous? You¡¯re still pulling?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao saw that he had already gotten the car in the driveway, which had cars on the side, and it was indeed dangerous. She then withdrew her hand embarrassedly lest she really caused an ident. Her life was too precious for that.
¡°Yin Shaojie, what exactly happened between the two of you? Why do you hate him so much?¡± she asked again, her head drawing closer to him to gain his attention.
Yin Shaojie shot her a nce from the side of his eyes and said arrogantly, ¡°Do you need a reason to hate someone?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She felt the urge to beat him.
If he wasn¡¯t driving and holding her life in his hands, she would definitely have pped him.
Mu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth to bear it, and she patiently asked again, ¡°Can you just tell me why you know so much about his family?¡±
¡°No,¡± Yin Shaojie replied curtly.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand, which was on her thigh, clenched tightly into a fist as she resisted the urge to punch him.
She acted as if she hade to a sudden realization. She smiled and looked at him coyly as she said to him, ¡°I know why¡ I guess you have always been following him with interest? Your dispute with him was just a guise to hide your interest in him, right? Could it be that you¡ and him¡¡±
It was such an obvious method to get him to talk. How could Yin Shaojie not see through it?
He shot a nce at her. Just as he was stopping the car, he reached out his long arm and pushed the wretch¡¯s head.
He said to her, ¡°Don¡¯t think that I will fall for your provocations so easily.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao instantly became like a deted balloon, looking listless with copsed shoulders. She shouted dejectedly, ¡°Why can¡¯t you just tell me!¡±
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°In any case, it¡¯s not what you think. I have no interest in him, nor do I care to know anything about him. I just happened to know a little about him.¡±
¡°Is it really so simple?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was doubtful.
The traffic light turned green, and Yin Shaojie started the car and did not say another word.
When they reach Yin residence and got out of the car, he hooked onto her neck, trapping her in his embrace. He then lowered his head and said solemnly, ¡°In any case, just stay away from that Lu fellow, you hear?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao raised her head, smiled sweetly, and said, ¡°No!¡±
This was what they meant by a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye.
He asked for it!

Then, Mu Xiaoxiao pushed him away and ran into the house.
¡°You wretch!¡± Yin Shaojie quickly chased after her with his long legs.
¡°Ah!¡± Just as Mu Xiaoxiao stepped through the door, he caught her and pinned her against the wall. He nted his hands on the wall and trapped her in between.
¡°What did you say just now? Can you say that again?¡± Yin Shaojie smiled charmingly, but his eyes gave off a dangerous feel as he stared at her.
¡°He he.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao yed dumb andughed, batting her eyelids innocently, and she said, ¡°What did I say earlier? I forgot!¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face drew closer, only centimeters apart from her small face.
His sexy lips turned into a faint smile, and his alluring voice was as pleasant as a violin. ¡°Oh? You forgot?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao widened her big eyes and smiled with pursed lips, nodding like a chicken pecking at food as she said, ¡°I really forgot! Aiyoh, my memory seems to be getting worse.¡±
Trapped by him, his manly smell was pressing on her, and she could only feel her heart beating erratically.
No!
Gotta escape quickly!
Initially, she intended to escape from beneath his arms. Little did she know that Yin Shaojie had expected it and had brought her into his embrace. Anyone who saw it might have thought that she was throwing herself at him.
Yin Shaojieughed naughtily, and he lowered his head and scoffed at her, ¡°You just can¡¯t do without me, can you?¡±
¡°Of course not!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him, flushed.
This bastard is so thick skinned! Shameless!
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes, and with a low and sexy voice, he said, ¡°No? Really? I don¡¯t believe you¡¡±
As he was speaking, he drew closer.
Their faces grew closer and closer as if in a second they would kiss.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart thumped endlessly.
In this suggestive and romantic atmosphere, it seemed as if the next scene would be when the male lead kissed the female lead.
Suddenly, some whispering sounds caught Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s attention as she snapped out of it.
Yin Shaojie seemed to have noticed it too as he released her, and the two looked toward the corner.
Two heads were watching them.
Yin Shaojie rolled his eyes and said grudgingly, ¡°Mom, Dad, why haven¡¯t you gone to sleep¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was red, and she furtively shifted to one side slightly to distance herself from him.
Yin Shaojie looked from the corner of his eyes, seeming slightly displeased. He reached out his long arms and pulled the little girl back into his embrace.
¡°Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll go back into our room to sleep!¡±
He hugged Mu Xiaoxiao as they walked past his parents.
Mama Yin smiled sweetly to the Yin couple, and she said politely, ¡°Mama Yin, Papa Yin, we¡¯ll go to sleep then. Good night.¡±
¡°Okay, good night,¡± Mama Yin smiled and said lovingly.
When they had left, Papa Yin asked his wife, ¡°Dear, didn¡¯t you prepare Bird¡¯s Nest Soup for her? Why didn¡¯t you tell her?¡±
Mama Yin stopped watching as she smiled meaningfully and said, ¡°They can¡¯t wait to get into the room to get intimate. Who cares about soup? They can have it tomorrow.¡±
She had a clear view of the situation. How could she still bother them at this juncture?
¡°Let¡¯s go hubby, we¡¯ll also go back to our room to rest.¡±
In the bedroom.
Mu Xiaoxiao was still showering. Yin Shaojie came out from the other bathroom after taking his shower. As he walked to the bed to sit, he saw something on top of the bedside cab.
Chapter 201 - A Strawberry-Flavored One
Chapter 201: A Strawberry-vored One
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
There was a little box on the nightstand.
Yin Shaojie knew what it was even without needing to examine it, but he still picked it up to check it out, uttering a noise of exmation as he did so.
It wasn¡¯t Durex but Okamoto this time.
What the most amusing thing was, however, was that it was strawberry-vored!
A condom that was strawberry-vored¡
Yin Shaojie nced in the direction of the shower. It was lucky that the girl was still showering, or it would have been awkward if she had seen this.
Out of curiosity, he opened the box. There were seven of them inside!
He didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. What was his mom hinting at?
Was she expecting him to do it seven times in a single night?
Yin Shaojie shook his head. Opening the drawer of the cab, he threw the Okamoto condoms into it and mmed it shut.
However, even though the condoms were out of sight, his imagination was beginning to run wild uncontrobly¡
Just then, the door to the shower opened, and Mu Xiaoxiao emerged through a fog of steam.
¡°Yin Shaojie, what are you doing?¡± the girl¡¯s crisp voice rang out.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s face was suspiciously pink as he stammered a reply with his maic voice, ¡°N-Nothing¡ You¡¯re done showering? Go to sleep then; it is gettingte.¡±
He moved to switch off the light as he said this.
Mu Xiaoxiao stopped him and said, ¡°Wait, my hair¡¯s still wet, so I¡¯m going to blow dry it first. Where is the hairdryer?¡±
Yin Shaojie tutted and pretended to be annoyed. ¡°Why are you so troublesome?¡±
¡°Girls have long hair, and it¡¯s easy to identally get it wet when we¡¯re showering. It¡¯s totally normal!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao exined. She walked over to the nightstand and reached out to pull the drawer open.
Yin Shaojie panicked when he saw what she was about to do and grabbed her wrist violently to stop it.
¡°Oi! What are you doing!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao gazed uprehendingly into his eyes. ¡°I¡¯m getting the hairdryer; what¡¯s up with you?¡±
This dude was acting really weird.
Thinking quickly on her feet, she narrowed her eyes craftily. Was he hiding something shameful inside?
¡°The hairdryer¡¯s not here. I¡¯ll go get it for you.¡± Yin Shaojie pulled her away from the nightstand.
Mu Xiaoxiao concealed her suspicions and pretended to be obedient and acted as if she didn¡¯t realize there was anything fishy going on. ¡°Oh, then hurry up and get it for me.¡±
Seeing that she was not suspicious, Yin Shaojie let down his guard. ¡°Be a good girl and wait here for me. I¡¯m going to go get it,¡± he told her.
He led her to an armchair and sat her down.
Mu Xiaoxiao acted as though she was a docile little kindergarten kid as she sat there obediently. She even smiled innocently and nodded. ¡°Okay!¡±
Thus, Yin Shaojie went out of the room.
Once the door closed behind him, Mu Xiaoxiao the kindergarten kid dropped her act and jumped down from the armchair, rushing to the nightstand. She opened the drawer stealthily.
Eh?
¡°What¡¯s this?¡± The drawer was empty except for a little box.
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao had lived in the open-minded society of America for a few years, she was still only sixteen and very innocent. Thus, she didn¡¯t recognize what the box was at first nce.
She picked the box up curiously and flipped it over in her hand. It was then that she saw the brand and the rest of the words on it.
¡°Strawberry-vored¡ Super thin¡ Naturaltex anti-pregnancy¡ Condom?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao blushed violently after she finished reading the words!
She threw the box back into the drawer hastily as though her hand had been burned and shut the drawer hurriedly.
So they were condoms?
And they were even her favorite vor!
So¡ Was this the ¡°something special¡± that Yin Shaojie had prepared?

Did he go out of his way to buy strawberry-vored ones because he knew that she liked it?
The redness on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face intensified as she thought about that.
Just then, she heard the sound of approaching footsteps. That should be Yin Shaojie returning with a hairdryer.
Mu Xiaoxiao panicked instantly. If he noticed how red her face was, wouldn¡¯t he know that she had opened the drawer?
Thus, she quickly darted into the shower.
Yin Shaojie heard the sound of the shower door close just as he stepped into the room.
¡°Xiaoxiao?¡± he called out to her, puzzled. He looked in the direction of the nightstand subconsciously. Could it be that she had made use of his absence and peeked inside?
He walked over and knocked on the door of the shower. ¡°I¡¯ve got the hairdryer. What¡¯re you doing inside?¡± he asked.
¡°I¡ Can¡¯t I go to the toilet!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao answered, her face still red. She then leaned over the sink and doused her burning face in cold water.
She finally came out after a few minutes.
A pajamas-d Yin Shaojie was leaning on a pillow on the big bed, looking at his phone.
Seeing that his attention was not on her, Mu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief. She then took up the hairdryer that was on the table and began to dry her hair.
Yin Shaojie looked up from his phone discreetly and took a nce at her before adjusting his expression to one of nonchnce.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hair was only a little damp at the ends, so it dried in almost no time at all.
Once she got onto the bed and settled down, Yin Shaojie said, ¡°I¡¯m going to switch the lights off.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
The lights went off, leaving the room inplete darkness.
Yin Shaojie seemed to notice something and looked over at her. He saw a dark silhouetteying really far away from him, and it looked as if she was about to drop off the edge of the bed.
He frowned. Why was this girl sleeping so far away?
¡°Oi, sleep closer; you¡¯re about to fall off.¡± His alluring voice sounded deeper and even more mesmerizing in the darkness.
Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to pretend that she hadn¡¯t heard him, but she remembered his tyrannical personality and scooted closer just a little bit.
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes. She looked like a squirming caterpir.
Was there really any difference between moving that little and not moving at all?
The pair had always slept together in the condominium. Because Mu Xiaoxiao had a bad sleeping posture, she always ended up in his embrace when she woke up in the morning.
Perhaps he was too used to them cuddling with each other, for he felt that it was weird that she was so far away from him.
This time, Yin Shaojie reached out unhesitatingly and pulled her into his embrace.
¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± he said unhappily when he realized that she was trying to move away.
Mu Xiaoxiao stopped moving at hismand. Her body felt stiff as her face became increasingly hot.
W-What was he trying to do?
Was he going to¡
She didn¡¯t dare to think further ¡ª it was too embarrassing!
¡°Yin Shaojie, don¡¯t you dare¡¡± Don¡¯t you dare do anything weird!
Before she could finish her sentence, Yin Shaojie pressed her head against his chest. ¡°Stop talking. Go to sleep,¡± he said.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
The atmosphere in the room rxed at once, its tranquility heightened by the night.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ear was pressed against his muscr chest. Not only could she feel the warmth of his body heat, but she could also hear his powerful heartbeat clearly.
Ba-dump, ba-dump, ba-dump¡
Mu Xiaoxiao listened to it as though she was hypnotized. It gave off a soothing feeling, and she liked the sound of it.
After an indeterminate amount of time.
Perhaps it was the excessive warmth of his embrace or his steady hypnotic heartbeat, but she soon fell into a slumber.
She entered a dreand of pink, strawberry-shaped bubbles.

Chapter 203: Their Daily Banter
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao woke up early because of the hospital visit. Also, her energy was quite good, having slept well the night before.
At breakfast.
Mu Xiaoxiao had the feeling that Mama Yin¡¯s gaze kept flitting over asionally. The look in her eyes was weird too, seemingly with a hint of suggestiveness in them.
Her ears reddened as she remembered what had happened the night before.
Mama Yin had identally stumbled upon Yin Shaojie and her bantering after their arrival ¡ª did she misunderstand and think that they had been making out?
¡°Ahem!¡± The atmosphere was awkward, and Papa Yin coughed. He even elbowed his wife discreetly, signaling her to stop the obvious staring.
Papa Yin¡¯s gaze seemed to say ¡°Restrain yourself; don¡¯t scare Xiaoxiao off.¡±
Mama Yin beamed as shemunicated with her eyes, ¡°What¡¯s so embarrassing about this? Xiaoxiao¡¯s already our daughter-inw anyway.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao ate her porridge with her head lowered. She was aware of the couple making eyes at each other and wanted to hide from their gaze.
Suddenly, Mama Yin¡¯s voice rang out, ¡°Xiaoxiao, did you sleep wellst night? How many times did Little Jie¡¡±
¡°Ahem, ahem, ahem!¡± Papa Yin coughed violently, interrupting her.
Mama Yin red reproachfully at her husband. ¡°What did you do that for!¡± it seemed to say.
Mu Xiaoxiao simply scooped up her bowl, drinking the rest of her porridge in one gulp. Standing up, she excused herself, ¡°Mama Yin, Papa Yin, I¡¯m full. Please enjoy the rest of the meal; I¡¯m going back to the room.¡±
She then darted away from the dining area hastily.
She couldn¡¯t help but grumble to Yin Shaojie internally. Why didn¡¯t this jerke down to breakfast? He¡¯d abandoned her to face Mama Yin¡¯s weirdness alone, and it¡¯d been really awkward!
She walked to the door of the room and found it ajar.
Pushing open the door, she saw Yin Shaojie by the nightstand taking something out from its drawer and putting it into his pocket.
What was he being so furtive about?
Just as Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s curiosity was aroused, she suddenly remembered with a start what the drawer had contained. Her ears, which were still slightly pink from before, quickly became red.
That box¡ of strawberry-vored condoms was purchased by him?
Mu Xiaoxiao stood by the door in a daze. Should she enter or make a stealthy exit?
Just then, a domestic helper appeared. ¡°Miss Mu, the porridge you requested is ready. Madam asks if you want to arrange a chauffeur to send it to the hospital, or would you rather bring it over yourself?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pretended to have just entered the room and even pushed the door in forcefully as she replied the domestic helper in a loud voice, ¡°I want to bring it over myself.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± The domestic helper then left.
Yin Shaojie sauntered over, behaving like his usual self. His hands were in his pockets, and he looked as unruly as ever in his dashing and confident manner.
He harrumphed in displeasure and said, ¡°You¡¯re going to bring the porridge to that fellow personally?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him as she retorted, ¡°Can you stop calling him ¡®that fellow¡¯? He has a name!¡±
¡°Can¡¯t you just let the chauffeur bring it to him? We still have to rush to school. Or are you trying to y truant again? Mu Xiaoxiao, can you treat your academics more seriously?¡± Yin Shaojie looked angered, and his handsome face was a little serious as he said this.
Mu Xiaoxiao ced her hands on her hips and countered, ¡°Do you treat your academics seriously then? Don¡¯t you only care about wooing the girls in school?¡±
¡°Me? Needing to woo girls?¡± Upon hearing this, Yin Shaojie¡¯s brows cocked.
¡°With the charm that yours truly possesses, all the girls will be all over me at the beckon of my finger. Do I even need to woo them?¡±

Seeing him so confident about this made Mu Xiaoxiao mysteriously ufortable.
He was right. Someone as handsome and charming as him didn¡¯t need to woo anyone at all, for beautiful babes would automatically proffer themselves to him.
Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed at him. ¡°You big flirt!¡±
Not wanting to talk to him anymore, she turned to leave the room.
¡°Hey, Xiaoxiao!¡± Yin Shaojie dashed after her in a sh and caught her arm. ¡°What? Are you jealous?¡± he teased, sounding a little pleased with himself.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook his hand off. ¡°Who¡¯s jealous? Why should I be jealous?¡±
She didn¡¯t look at him as she said this and tried to continue down the stairs.
The smile on Yin Shaojie¡¯s face widened. Wasn¡¯t her behavior the paragon of jealousy?
That idiot didn¡¯t mean what she had said!
Yin Shaojie moved forward with a step of his long legs and caught up to her again. This time, he simply kabedoned her against the wall, preventing her escape.
¡°You¡¯re really not jealous at all?¡± he smirked devilishly as he asked in a low voice.
¡°No!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao denied stubbornly, her dark eyes meeting his resolutely as though that could prove that she was telling the truth.
¡°You¡¯re really, really not jealous at all?¡±
Yin Shaojie asked again. He inched his face closer, and his smile became even more sinister while his eyes were fixated on her as if he was trying to read her mind.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart skipped a beat, but she still replied stubbornly, ¡°I¡¯m really not jealous at all!¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes narrowed, and there was something dangerous in his gaze.
This was bad! She had to escape!
Mu Xiaoxiao had grown up with him and instantly understood that he was about to do something naughty.
However, with her being trapped between both his arms, escape was not an option.
Suddenly, his long fingers were under her chin, and his gorgeous face moved even closer to hers. She could feel his sinister breath on her face as he said tyrannically, ¡°Tell me you¡¯re jealous! If not, I¡¯ll¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao gulped and blushed. ¡°If not what?¡±
Woah, woah, woah, could he stoping any closer!
If he moved any closer, his lips would touch hers¡
¡°I¡¯m going to kiss you already!¡± Yin Shaojie chuckled sinisterly. His dark eyes were sparkling as though this was something very amusing to do.
Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to call his bluff, but the look in his eyes seemed serious!
It made her heart beat wildly.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s lips leaned closer slowly on purpose.
The pair¡¯s lips still had three centimeters between them.
Two¡
One¡
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was so red it felt like it was burning. She pushed against his chest forcefully and finally admitted defeat, ¡°Okay! I¡¯m jealous, I¡¯m jealous, are you satisfied now!¡±
¡°Say it again.¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze deepened.
With her entire face and ears glowing with redness, Mu Xiaoxiao repeated, ¡°I¡¯m jealous! I¡¯m jealous! Are you finally satisfied?¡±
The corner of Yin Shaojie¡¯s lip curled up. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m very satisfied,¡± his sexy voice replied.
Right as he finished his words, his gorgeous face leaned forward suddenly, filling her vision.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened in astonishment. Her hand that had been on his chest closed around the fabric of his shirt.
Her heart was thundering wildly.
A touch of softness brushed across her face, the warm sensation vivid.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t kiss her on the lips but had given her a quick peck on the cheek.
He looked like a mischievous prankster as he chuckled devilishly, ¡°What? Are you disappointed that you didn¡¯t get a kiss on your little mouth?¡±

¡°Yin Shaojie!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was red as she red at him usingly. ¡°You liar! I already said it, but you still¡¡±
This jerk! He was the worst!
Mu Xiaoxiao balled up her fists and punched him in the chest.
In the corner of the corridor was Mama Yin, who was smart enough not to let out any noise this time. Concealed in the corner of the wall, she had been spamming pictures, capturing all of the lovey-dovey goodness the couple had enacted.
When she was finally satisfied with the pictures, she waited for an opportune moment before hurrying down the stairs without the lovebirds noticing.
Mama Yin smiled to her husband as she said, ¡°When they get married, we¡¯ll make these photos into a video montage and y it ¡ª what a romantic surprise that will be!¡±
¡
In the hospital.
When Mu Xiaoxiao entered the hospital room with a thermos sk in hand, she saw that Han Qiqing had already arrived, and in her hands was also a thermos sk.
However, Han Qiqing looked disappointed.
¡°Lu Yichen, please, have just one taste ¡ª a mouthful will do. I made this porridge myself, and I woke up really early to do it¡¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s eyes were brimming with expectation and pleading, but it was all dashed by Lu Yichen¡¯s heartless rejection.
Lu Yichen said coldly, ¡°There¡¯s no need. I¡¯ve already had breakfast. Thank you.¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s face fell a little at the second rejection. However, she didn¡¯t reveal her sadness on her face and forced a smile out.
¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll make some for you next time, okay?¡±
Lu Yichen replied, ¡°There¡¯s no need. There¡¯s food in the hospital; there¡¯s no need to go through so much trouble.¡±
¡°It¡¯s not troublesome, not troublesome at all!¡± Sensing that her attitude was a little obvious, she hurriedly covered it up by saying, ¡°Actually, I¡¯ve been trying to learn how to cook recently, so that¡¯s why I brought this for you, so it isn¡¯t¡ You saved Xiaoxiao¡¯s life and Xiaoxiao¡¯s my best friend, so I had to thank you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao, who was standing by the door, was astonished.
This was the first time she had seen Han Qiqing trying to please someone. It was unlike her usual reservedness.
If a girl could abandon her restraint, it meant that she really, really like this boy.
Han Qiqing¡¯s like for Lu Yichen was beyond what she had imagined.
Yin Shaojie, who was with her, witnessed the entire scene as well. His lips curled disapprovingly.
¡°Do you want to go in?¡± He looked at Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked down at the thermos she was carrying and looked up at Lu Yichen¡¯s frosty expression.
This was the first time she had seen him so cold. If she entered, would she be given the cold shoulder too?
No one liked to be given the cold shoulder!
Just as Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated over whether to enter, the two in the room had already noticed them. ¡°Xiaoxiao, why have youe so early?¡± Han Qiqing was a little nervous and bashful.
Lu Yichen looked over as well. The coldness in his gaze seemed to disappear instantly.
¡°Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re here?¡± There was a lot more warmth in his tone.
Since they had been discovered, they couldn¡¯t just leave now.
Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao bit the bullet and stepped in. She tried to hide the thermos in her hands behind her back.
¡°That¡ I¡¯m here to see you. Were you okay at home yesterday? How does your hand feel now?¡±
¡°Yeah, the doctor checked it just now and said that it¡¯s healing along nicely,¡± Lu Yichen said. His gaze fell to her hands and his gaze held a little smile as hemented, ¡°Did you bring breakfast for me? Did you make it yourself?¡±
Upon hearing these words, Yin Shaojie was instantly displeased and shot him a re. ¡°You want to eat something she¡¯s made personally?¡±
Chapter 206
206 He Likes You

Even though Yin Shaojie had grown up with Mu Xiaoxiao, he had never tasted anything made by her. What right did this fellow have to do so then?!
Mu Xiaoxiao understood him and knew that he was about to explode with fury in a nce.
She hurriedly exined, ¡°No, it¡¯s not; it was prepared by the cook in the house. I can¡¯t cook at all; I¡¯m an idiot in the kitchen¡¡±
She looked at Han Qiqing beside her. Smiling, she continued, ¡°Unlike Qiqing. Qiqing¡¯s really awesome! Her mom¡¯s cooking rivals that of a five-star chef¡¯s, and Qiqing¡¯s been learning how to cook from her mom since she was little, so her food is really tasty! If you ever have the chance to, you should try out her cooking, or you¡¯ll definitely regret it!¡±
She widened her eyes at Lu Yichen, waiting for him to assent to eating Han Qiqing¡¯s porridge.
However, Lu Yichen, being as dense as a block of wood, was totally indifferent to thevish praise she had dished out, his gaze still fixated on her hands.
¡°What breakfast did you bring for me?¡± he asked. He was slightly smiling as though he was more interested in what she was carrying.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°Uh¡¡±
She was exasperated! Did he not pick up on what she had been trying to hint at?
She said embarrassedly, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯d eaten?¡±
Lu Yichen could take a hint sometimes too. Looking at Han Qiqing, he smiled lightly as he replied, ¡°Since both of you brought it, I¡¯ll not waste your efforts, even though I¡¯ve already eaten before I came to see the doctor.¡±
The hospital did prepare three meals for him, but he still preferred to eat at home.
Han Qiqing¡¯s expression instantly transformed from a depressed one to a sunny one. ¡°Really? You¡¯re going to taste my cooking?¡± she asked happily.
¡°Yeah.¡± Lu Yichen nodded.
Seeing Han Qiqing smiling again released the burden in Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart.
She had been really worried earlier. If Lu Yichen only ate what she had brought, wouldn¡¯t Qiqing be really hurt?
A look at the time showed that it was gettingte.
Mu Xiaoxiao had originally wanted to simply bring breakfast over and ask how Lu Yichen was in passing. Seeing that he was fine and willing to eat the breakfast she had brought, she was ready to make her way to school.
Yin Shaojie, who was beside her, was impatient. His expression was cial.
Not daring to let this particr Young Master wait any longer, she told Lu Yichen, ¡°sses are about to start soon, so we¡¯ll be going off now.¡±
It would be awkward for Han Qiqing to stay, so she left with them.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s patience finally reached its limit once they were out of the room. He wrapped an arm around Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s shoulders.
He seemed to know what she was thinking and ordered dictatorially, ¡°You¡¯re not allowed toe here again after school! Do you hear me?¡±
He started to plot. He needed to think of a way to keep this girl chained to him in the afternoon so that she couldn¡¯t go anywhere!
Thinking about how she was so caring and concerned about Lu Yichen earlier made his stomach churn with fury.
This girl had never cared so much about him before!
Mu Xiaoxiao was used to his tyrannical ways and pretended not to hear him.
She was more worried about Han Qiqing right now.
Han Qiqing had looked a little sullen ever since they stepped out of the patient¡¯s room.
¡°Little Qing, are you alright?¡± she walked to Han Qiqing¡¯s side and asked concernedly.
Qiqing had always been happy and optimistic. It was rare to see her so down.
Han Qiqing sighed deeply and lifted her head up to look at her, her eyes brimming with a myriad of emotions. ¡°Xiaoxiao, don¡¯t you feel as though Lu Yichen likes you?¡± she asked faintly.
Chapter 207

Trantor: AsStudios | Editor: AsStudios /As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao was originally thinking about how tofort her, but upon hearing such a statement, she froze.
¡°Ah? You¡¯re saying that Lu Yichen¡ Likes me? Of course not!¡±
There was almost no hesitation when she hastily denied Han Qiqing¡¯s hypothesis.
However, Han Qiqing only smiled wryly. ¡°How can that not be? There¡¯s such a big difference between how he treats you and me!¡±
It was her first time witnessing Lu Yichen interacting with a girl so pleasantly and without his usual cold demeanor.
Even though she had held an inkling of the truth before, she still chose to turn a blind eye to it. How could Lu Yichen like Mu Xiaoxiao when they had only gotten to know each other for such a short amount of time?
Now, however, she didn¡¯t want to propagate this self-deception any longer.
Time was of irrelevance when it came to matters of the heart!
Mu Xiaoxiao shook off Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm hurriedly. Ignoring the dark look on his handsome face, she moved forward hastily and hugged Han Qiqing¡¯s arm to herself.
She said earnestly, ¡°I feel that he¡¯s only treating me better because he thinks of me as a friend. It doesn¡¯t mean that he likes me at all! How can anyone start liking someone else so flippantly!¡±
Han Qiqing started. She seemed to be moved by what she had said and looked uncertain of herself now.
Seeing that she had gotten her point home, Mu Xiaoxiao continued hotly, ¡°I feel, at least, that he¡¯s not a person who behaves frivolously. You should understand him a little since you like him, right? If he¡¯s someone like Yin Shaojie, who can just start liking someone at the drop of a hat, would he be the Lu Yichen that you like?¡±
Finding himself getting unjustly ridiculed, Great Master Yin stared daggers at Mu Xiaoxiao from behind, his eyes starting to burn with fury.
¡°You seem to make sense¡¡± Han Qiqing mumbled.
¡°So¡ Eh!¡± Suddenly, an arm from behind wrapped Mu Xiaoxiao into a chokehold and pulled her backward, causing her to fall onto a muscr chest.
She saw that the culprit was Yin Shaojie when she lifted her head.
¡°What are you doing!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao red at him uprehendingly.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s smiled a smile that didn¡¯t reach his eyes as he stared at her. At this distance, she could see the displeasure in his eyes clearly. ¡°You can say whatever you want, but why did you have to ridicule me like that?¡±
Also, wasn¡¯t she dragging his name through the mud to glorify that fellow?
Did she think of him as a person who had superficial feelings, a big flirt who fell for others easily?
No wonder she¡¯d criticized him like that all the time!
It looked like now was the time to exin why he kept changing his girlfriends!
¡°I¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao realized that she had offended him once she saw his dark face. ¡°I was only trying toe up with an example ¡ª I wasn¡¯t trying to bad-mouth you!¡±
She really wasn¡¯t¡ She was only desperate tofort Han Qiqing then.
Yin Shaojie bared his teeth. ¡°You called me by my full name, and yet you deny trying to bad-mouth me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao whined and acted pitifully, ¡°Isn¡¯t it enough that I know that I¡¯m in the wrong already?¡±
Seeing that things were going downhill, Han Qiqing hurriedly made her escape.
¡°Xiaoxiao, my chauffeur¡¯s waiting outside for me, so I won¡¯t be riding with you guys. Bye bye! I¡¯ll see you at school!¡±
¡°Little Qing ¡ª ¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes were wide as saucers as she stared at the disappearing figure of her good friend.
What were friends for!
¡°Let¡¯s go. It¡¯s almost time. We¡¯ll bete if we don¡¯t hurry to school.¡± Yin Shaojie kept a straight face as he held her little hand tightly, not giving her any chance to escape, and led her out.
Unable to tell if he was still angry, Mu Xiaoxiao watched his face cautiously.

Chapter 208: No Romantic Feelings

Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression had not softened even after they had gotten into the car.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t dare to speak for fear of offending him again. She lowered her head and racked her brains, thinking of how to appease him.
Suddenly, Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Do you really think that that fellow looks at you as a friend and nothing else?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head to look at him. Happy that he had taken the initiative to speak to her, she beamed with joy. To his question, she nodded as she replied, ¡°Of course! Both of you are just thinking too much! I had a lot of friends in America too, and they cared for me very much as well. You can¡¯t assume that all of them liked me, right?¡±
¡°Guy friends?¡± Yin Shaojie turned to look at her, his eyes narrowing.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°Both guys and girls.¡±
Yin Shaojie used the opportunity of the red light to turn around and study her face carefully. Her eyes were clear and held no guilt, which meant that what she said was really what she thought.
Yin Shaojie suddenly understood something to which he felt helpless about.
This girl was too dense about matters of the heart, wasn¡¯t she?
Even though he couldn¡¯t determine with absolute certainty that Lu Yichen liked this girl, he did treat her differently and there was some form of affection there. However, only Lu Yichen himself would know if that affection had already turned into something more.
However¡
Yin Shaojie smirked to himself.
Since this girl was so ignorant about romantic feelings, wasn¡¯t it obvious that she had never had a boyfriend then?
He felt a little delighted as he thought about this.
The light turned green. Yin Shaojie looked at her as he revved his engine. ¡°Do you really like to make friends that much?¡± he asked, his attitude changing into an amicable one.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face blossomed into a smile as she replied, ¡°Of course! I feel that the biggest thing that I brought away from studying in America was my friendships. It¡¯s so interesting to be able to make so many friends from different backgrounds!¡±
The month of her mama¡¯s passing was the most painful period of her life. Her good friends from America cared for her very much and specially brought her out to many parties. She made many new friends along the way, which helped her emerge from her pain gradually.
Little by little, she grew to like making friends, especially outstanding people from different backgrounds. It allowed her to see a different side of the world and made her feel how amazing this world was and how great it was to be alive!
Since her mama had already left this world, she had to live for her too and live well at that! She had to live a life of happiness and excitement!
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help but ruffle her hair as he studied her cheerful expression and sparkling eyes.
It seemed like this girl really did like to make friends.
So, it seemed like she only viewed Lu Yichen as a friend then.
Upon determining that she had no romantic feelings for that fellow, half of the rage he had been suppressing in his chest dissipated.
They arrived at Shangde High in the blink of an eye.
After parking his car, Yin Shaojie ignored the stares of the surrounding crowd and held her hand as he led her to Year One¡¯s block.
Mu Xiaoxiao had wanted to pry his hand off, but she quickly remembered that the news that they were cohabiting should have already proliferated the entire school.
At Year One¡¯s block, Yin Shaojie still held her hand and continued to climb up the stairs.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him uprehendingly. ¡°You don¡¯t have to bring me up. Hurry to your ss. School¡¯s about to start soon.¡±
Surprisingly, he replied, ¡°No, I¡¯ll be joining you in ss today.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was astonished. ¡°Why?!¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
She was deeply puzzled. Wasn¡¯t he Year Two? Why would he want to sit in on her Year One ss?
¡°What do you mean by why? I just want to apany you. Can¡¯t I?¡± Yin Shaojie nced at her dandiacally as he pulled her up the stairs, not giving her an opportunity to argue back.
¡°Yin Shaojie, what the heck are you trying to do?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t believe this Great Young Master would really bother with doing something like this. He must have some kind of motive, right?
They arrived at ss S.
Because it was almost time for ss, the ss was already filled with students. Mu Xiaoxiao was thest one to enter.
When they saw Yin Shaojie entering into the ss hand-in-hand with her, the crowd was astonished.
What kind of situation was this?!
What happened next caused the crowd¡¯s jaws to drop. Yin Shaojie not only brought Mu Xiaoxiao to her ce but also sat in the seat next to her.
T-The seat beside her was¡
The students in ss seemed to think of something. All of their eyes widened, and a weird expression hung on their faces.
After he sat down, Yin Shaojie found the table empty as though no one was using it.
He looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, ¡°Who¡¯s your deskmate?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°I have no idea¡ I haven¡¯t seen him ever since I transferred.¡±
She remembered that she had asked Yu Zhe about it before. Yu Zhe had replied that her deskmate had onlye to ss once or twice and had never returned. However, the desk had still been kept for him, and no one dared to touch it.
She had assumed that something must havee up in her deskmate¡¯s life and probed no further.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t care about it as well. He was apathetic towards the lives of other people.
It was better that no one was sitting beside her anyway.
At the next second, the bell for the start of ss rang.
The teacher had not noticed Yin Shaojie when he had first entered into ss until he swept a nce across the room from his podium. He got a shock upon meeting Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes.
¡°Y-Young Master Jie, why are you in this ss¡¡±
Yin Shaojie replied cooly, ¡°Just pretend that I¡¯m not here and get on with the lesson.¡±
The teacher was speechless.
With your formidable aura, Young Master Jie, it would be hard for me to ignore your presence, wouldn¡¯t it?
Even so, the teacher had to toughen his scalp and continue on with ss.
However, no one dared to talk in ss in the presence of Yin Shaojie, which made the ss much quieter than usual.
There were many girls who were sneaking nces at Yin Shaojie. However, since Yin Shaojie was sitting on the inner aisle, they couldn¡¯t help but also see Mu Xiaoxiao when they looked over, which caused their gazes to brim with jealous and envy instantly.
There was only one girl who deliberately avoided looking over at Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao. She was gritting her teeth, and her hands, which were hidden below, were balled up into fists.
That¡¯s right, this girl was Bai Meijiao!
Never in Bai Meijiao¡¯s imagination had she thought that she would end up in such an embarrassing situation.
She had ttered herself that she had won Young Master Jie¡¯s adoration and blown her own trumpet, provoking Mu Xiaoxiao sarcastically.
This situation was now a p in her face.
Had anyone ever seen Young Master Jie apanying his girlfriends to ss?
Never!
It had always been the girl who rushed to his ss, voluntarily ttering and ingratiating herself with him.
But now¡
Bai Meijiao¡¯s bottom lip was pale from biting, and her eyes brimmed with jealousy.
How, oh how could Mu Xiaoxiao receive Young Master Jie¡¯s special treatment?
While on the other hand, Yin Shaojie was turning a blind eye to his ex and treating her as if she was nothing but air?
Yet, across the aisle, the ignorant pair was acting all affectionate with each other.

The third period was Art, and the students moved to the art studio for ss.
Before the ss had even ended.
Needing to attend to something, Mu Xiaoxiao had left for the ssroom earlier. She had expected the ssroom to be empty but saw a shady figure instead.
And that figure was at her desk doing something suspicious.
¡°What are you doing?¡± she roared.
The person jumped in fright. When they stood up, their face was revealed ¡ª it turned out to be Bai Meijiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her with suspicion. ¡°Why are you sneaking around my desk, and what have you done with it?¡±
Bai Meijiao was a little flustered, but seeing that there was no sign of Yin Shaojie, she calmed down. Lifting her chin up, she said, ¡°No one touched your desk ¡ª don¡¯t use me of something I haven¡¯t done! This is my desk anyway, and I was only bending over to get something that I¡¯ve dropped.¡±
Doubting the truth of her words, Mu Xiaoxiao walked over to her desk slowly.
She looked over her desk and chair. It seemed like it hadn¡¯t been tampered with. She nced casually at the contents of her table¡¯s drawer as well and found nothing wrong with them.
Bai Meijiao emerged from the other end. With an air of not wanting to acknowledge her, she harrumphed pompously and walked out.
After a few minutes, the period ended and the rest of her ssmates filed back into the ssroom.
Mu Xiaoxiao was on her seat, WeChatting Yin Shaojie to ask him to buy a drink and a sandwich for her.
Unexpectedly, Yin Shaojie walked into the ss just as the message was sent. Hearing the notification tone for WeChat, he scooped his phone out from his pocket.
Seeing that he was here, Mu Xiaoxiao said gloomily, ¡°Why are you back so fast?¡±
Yin Shaojie, who had just seen her message, looked at her with his inky dark eyes. ¡°Hungry already?¡± he asked, amused.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. ¡°Yeah¡¡±
There had been an abundance of food at breakfast, but she had escaped from the dining table before she had been full because of Mama Yin¡¯s weird questions, which made her hungry now.
Yu Zhe, who was in front of her, turned his head a little and looked at her. ¡°Xiaoxiao, I have biscuits. Do you want some?¡± he asked in a small voice.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Yes!¡± She nodded unhesitatingly.
Yin Shaojie, who was looking at her, felt she was like a little kitty who could be kidnapped by the mere prospect of being fed.
His brows furrowed helplessly. Her gluttonous nature was both frustrating and hrious.
He eyed Yu Zhe coldly as he walked to her side.
Yu Zhe started. Young Master Jie¡¯s gaze was painfully obvious. He kept the biscuits that he was about to bring out.
¡°Sorry, Xiaoxiao¡ I¡¯ve just realized that I¡¯ve already finished my biscuits.¡±
Yin Shaojie was pleased with his disy of sensibility.
He looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, ¡°You wanted a sandwich? I¡¯ll ask someone to get it for you.¡±
He then called up Wu Hao, his assistant.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face had fallen when she¡¯d heard that there were no more biscuits, but upon hearing Yin Shaojie¡¯s words, her face lit up again. ¡°Then, I want strawberry milk too! And Pretz! And¡¡± she blurted hurriedly.
Yin Shaojie looked at her. ¡°Are you a pig?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. ¡°I¡¯m hungry¡¡±
Bai Meijiao was confronted with such a lovey-dovey scene when she entered the ss.
She gritted her teeth in hatred, and the jealousy in her eyes intensified.
Even though Yin Shaojie hadined about Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eating habits, he still ryed all the food she wanted for Wu Hao to buy.
After the call, he returned to the desk beside her.

Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to remember something. Looking at Yin Shaojie, she asked, ¡°You¡¯re only staying until the afternoon, right? Then shouldn¡¯t you be going back to ss in the afternoon?¡±
She had a mysterious feeling of being monitored by his presence for the entire morning. She really wished that he would go back to Year Two¡¯s ss S and stop watching over her.
His ¡°sharp, intense gaze¡± had caused her to not be able to converse with Yu Zhe, and he had made her miss out on a lot of school gossip!
Yin Shaojie leaned into the back of his chair, looking a little displeased. ¡°Do you hate mypany that much?¡±
Didn¡¯t she realize that there were many girls who wanted hispany like this? How can she not want it too?
The ssmates around them sucked in a breath upon hearing these words.
Goodness gracious!
What kind of situation was this?
Mu Xiaoxiao had the guts to speak to Young Master Jie and was even disdainful of hispany?
Was there something wrong with her brain?
The girls were especially triggered by Mu Xiaoxiao, and their levels of envy and jealousy rose.
The girls thought, ¡°If you don¡¯t want Young Master Jie¡¯spany, then give it to us! We want it! We desire it so bad, we¡¯re going insane!¡±
However, Mu Xiaoxiao was not privy to their thoughts.
She only sighed. Choosing her words carefully, she replied, ¡°I don¡¯t hate yourpany, of course, but it¡¯s just¡ What are you trying to do? Can you just tell me directly? Return my freedom to me, I beg of you. Please!¡±
Him being so¡ clingy with her was making her really ill at ease, alright?
People who didn¡¯t know better might think that he was keeping such a close eye on her to prevent her from cheating.
She thought about it but still couldn¡¯t fathom why he¡¯d suddenly apanied her to ss.
¡°I¡¯m not trying to do anything,¡± Yin Shaojie smiled as he said. His smile was mesmerizing, charming and sexy. ¡°If I don¡¯t watch over you, won¡¯t you cheat on me?¡± he said jokingly.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Was he afraid that she would disregard his orders and run off to visit Lu Yichen at the hospital?
Mu Xiaoxiao thought about it but felt that this was impossible! Yin Shaojie would never do such a childish thing!
While they were engaged in exchanging these sweet nothings, Bai Meijiao¡¯s color changed intermittently from green to cker than sh*t in a cesspool.
Other than watching Young Master Jie and Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s disy of affection, the surrounding ssmates also found it a must to observe Bai Meijiao.
When they saw Bai Meijiao¡¯s ugly expression, many of the girls brimmed with schadenfreude, mocking her internally.
When Bai Meijiao had been Young Master Jie¡¯s girlfriend, she had behaved extremely arrogantly. Most of the girls hadn¡¯t been able to stand her!
Suddenly, Bai Meijiao stood up and left the ssroom.
Thus, the crowd spected that she couldn¡¯t bear to watch the intimacy between Young Master Jie and Mu Xiaoxiao and had run off because she had been heartbroken.
The whispers started.
¡°She deserved it! Who asked her to be so arrogant and choose a seat just an aisle away from Mu Xiaoxiao? This is what they call ¡®just desserts!''¡±
¡°I know, right? Wasn¡¯t she sitting there to provoke Mu Xiaoxiao? Now the tides have turned and she¡¯s the one being made fun of. This is hrious.¡±
Bai Meijiao gritted her teeth in anger as she walked past the back door and heard the scorn of these girls.
She arrived near the staircase and saw Wu Hao¡¯s silhouette. She dashed up to him and pulled him to the corner.
Caught unaware, Wu Hao asked uprehendingly, ¡°Bai Meijiao? Why did you drag me here? I have to deliver this to Young Master Jie ASAP.¡±

Bai Meijiao was visibly anxious as she went straight to snatch the bag from his hands.
¡°Lend me the bag for a while!¡±
Wu Hao did not understand her and was caught unprepared, almost losing the bag to her. Luckily, his quick reactions were honed from being around Yin Shaojie, and he evaded her hand in time without her even touching the bag.
¡°These things are for Young Master Jie. What do you want?¡± he looked at her and questioned.
¡°I¡ªI just want to take a look! Can¡¯t I take a look?¡± Bai Meijiao was so anxious she did not even care to lie, only wanting to snatch the bag. However, Wu Hao was taller and faster than her, leaving her with no chance at all.
Bai Meijiao was finicky as she red at him and shouted, ¡°Wu Hao! Are you going to treat me like dirt after I broke up with Young Master Jie?¡±
Before this, he had still been fawning on her, even calling her sister-inw. Now, his attitude seemed to have changed a tad too much.
Wu Hao smiled embarrassedly and said, ¡°Of course not. But¡ what exactly are you trying to do? Can you tell me?¡±
Bai Meijiao hesitated for a moment, thinking about how Mu Xiaoxiao was being pampered, and she grew furious.
She continued to use amanding tone as she said to him, ¡°Didn¡¯t you buy some drinks for Mu Xiaoxiao? Hand it over to me!¡±
Having said that, she took out a bottle from her pocket which contained some powder inside.
Wu Hao was stunned. ¡°What¡ is this? Do you want to spike her drink?¡±
Bai Meijiao rolled her eyes at him and said, ¡°It¡¯s only axative. I just want to teach her a lesson, not kill her. What are you so afraid of? Don¡¯t worry. If you help me, I will do you good.¡±
She seemed to think that he had agreed, and she then went for the bag again.
Wu Hao quickly came up with an excuse and said, ¡°I can¡¯t do it! It would be obvious if the bottle was opened. Won¡¯t I be the one who gets in trouble?¡±
He was the one who bought the stuff. If anything happened to Mu Xiaoxiao, Young Master Jie would definitely find him responsible for it.
What¡¯s more, she could be lying about thexatives!
If it were really poison, he would die a horrible death.
Bai Meijiao looked ferocious and said anxiously, ¡°What¡¯s so hard about it! She won¡¯t notice. Moreover, if you were to take the initiative and help her open the bottle, she won¡¯t notice it. Quickly, give it to me!¡±
Wu Hao was exasperated. Is Bai Meijiao an idiot? Does she have no clue about her situation?
She was no longer Young Master Jie¡¯s girlfriend!
Did she still think he would still fawn over her?
What¡¯s more, even if he had a hundred galls, he wouldn¡¯t dare to betray Young Master Jie!
¡°No no, I¡¯m sorry. I really can¡¯t help you. I have to go! If not, Young Master Jie will get angry if he waits long. Goodbye!¡± he said as he quickly left.
¡°Damn!¡± Bai Meijiao stamped her feet in anger as her n was ruined.
Gritting her teeth, she watched Wu Hao¡¯s figure ferociously, her eyes filled with hatred.
Just you wait, I will definitely find a way to have someone betray Mu Xiaoxiao!
¡
In the ssroom.
Mu Xiaoxiao was hurrying to finish her food since the break time was short.
Seeing the way that she was eating, Yin Shaojie shook his head and said, ¡°Eat slowly. Don¡¯t choke.¡±
Just as he finished speaking, Mu Xiaoxiao nearly choked. She quickly drank some milk, but she spilled the milk all over her hand.
¡°Tissue, tissue, tissue!¡± she cried anxiously.
She reached into the drawer with her other hand. In the panic, she felt something strange and took it out to see, and it was actually a beautifully packaged box.

Chapter 213: A Strange Present
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Eh? How did this get here?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled, and she shot a nce at Bai Meijiao beside her.
Could she have put it here?
Although she had inspected the drawer before, she only took a cursory nce and neglected to check behind her bag where the item had been ced and hadn¡¯t noticed it earlier.
Yin Shaojie squinted as he looked at it. Seeing the delicate pink packaging decorated with some hearts, he found it irksome.
¡°What¡¯s that?¡± he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged her shoulders. ¡°I don¡¯t know either¡ I don¡¯t know who put it here.¡±
She suspected that it was Bai Meijiao who put it there. But she couldn¡¯t understand why she would want to do it. Could it be that she wanted to send her a present to reconcile with her?
Yin Shaojie sharp eyes noticed a slip of paper wedged on top of the box. He reached out his long arm to grab the box and took out the slip of paper.
¡°Eh¡ What¡¯s this?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao initially wanted to say that he was being rude since he snatched away the box that was meant for her.
However, he wouldn¡¯t be Yin Shaojie if he wasn¡¯t overbearing, right?
The slip of paper caught Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s attention. Could it really be that Bai Meijiao had sent her a present and even wrote a letter to reconcile?
Then, Yin Shaojie looked grim as he read it out loud.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, from the moment I saw you, I was deeply attracted by you. I like your cheerfulness, your optimism, and your smile. I think a pure-hearted girl like you should not be wasted on a demon like Yin Shaojie. He is a yboy. Once he has enough of you, he will dump you. You should leave him quickly. I really like you. Will you give me a chance?¡±
As he finished speaking, Yin Shaojie red at him with a dark gaze and said, ¡°Who wrote this for you?¡±
Hearing him read the mushy love letter, Mu Xiaoxiao felt a chill as her hair stood on end. She shook her head in confusion and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know. How would I know who wrote it!¡±
Yin Shaojie said in a chilly tone, ¡°Wow Mu Xiaoxiao, you received a love letter. You must be feeling good about yourself, huh?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly and said, ¡°Look at my face. Does my expression tell you that I¡¯m feeling good?¡±
She was totally clueless.
Yin Shaojie humphed as he looked at the box and said, ¡°Since you have no idea, then throw this away!¡±
¡°Throw it away? Shouldn¡¯t we check what¡¯s inside?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked curious as she was still suspicious that Bai Meijiao was the one who put it there.
However, if Bai Meijiao was the one who put it there, why would she write a love letter?
Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her chin like a detective. She wondered if Bai Meijiao wanted to use the letter to incite conflict between her and Yin Shaojie.
¡°Let me have a look. Just one look!¡±
With that said, she stripped off the streamer and opened the box¡
¡°Wait!¡± Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes like an eagle. He reacted in only a hundredth of a second and he smacked away the box.
¡°Bang¡ª¡± The box seemed to have hidden some mechanism as something flew out, and white powder dispersed in the air.
A lump of stuff flew out, andnded straight on Bai Meijiao¡¯s face as she sat in the aisle.
When the powder settled, everyone saw Bai Meijiao¡¯s face was covered with white powder.
¡°Ha ha ha ha¡¡± The onlooking students couldn¡¯t restrain themselves fromughing.
Then, someone who had contact with the powder cried out, ¡°It¡¯s so itchy!¡±
Chapter 214 - How Will You Explain This?
Chapter 214: How Will You Exin This?
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
All those who were sitting beside Bai Meijiao were still mocking her when the powder was also on their arms. Little did they know that their arms would start to itch, and they quickly started scratching.
¡°It¡¯s so itchy! Damn, what is this powder? Is it poisonous?¡±
The students scratched, and red streaks appeared on their arms.
The smart ones quickly washed away the powder with water or used wet wipes to wipe it off.
Bai Meijiao seemed to be in denial as she was motionless for some time. Finally, she started scratching her face and cried, ¡°Itchy, itchy. So itchy!¡±
She red at Mu Xiaoxiao angrily and said, ¡°This is all your fault!¡±
At this moment, Mu Xiaoxiao could almost confirm that she was the one who had put it there!
She didn¡¯t feel a shred of pity for Bai Meijiao.
If Yin Shaojie had not reacted fast enough, she would have been the one to be disfigured.
She sneered as she stared at Bai Meijiao and said, ¡°You were acting suspiciously around my desk earlier. You must be the one who put the box there!¡±
¡°I did not! You¡¯re ndering me!¡± Bai Meijiao frantically refuted.
Using the wet tissue she snatched from the girl beside her, she quickly wiped off the powder on her face. However, she still felt itchy. What used to be a fair and clear face was now ridden with scars. It looked quite disturbing.
Her eyes welled up with tears as she looked at Yin Shaojie pitifully, seeking redress to her grievance and said to him, ¡°Young Master Jie, you must believe me. It really wasn¡¯t me who did it! It¡¯s her! She is vicious hearted, and she wanted to set me up! That¡¯s right, she must have put it there herself!¡±
In this situation, she felt it only natural to put all the fault onto Mu Xiaoxiao.
Given her understanding of Yin Shaojie, he hated the mutual deception between girls the most. She wanted Yin Shaojie to misunderstand and find that Mu Xiaoxiao was a vicious hearted girl!
Having heard this, the other students turned to look at Mu Xiaoxiao.
In order to increase her credibility, Bai Meijiao cried as she scratched her face and said, ¡°Young Master Jie¡ Look at me! If I was the one who put it there, would I have gotten myself into this state? Boohoo. Young Master Jie, you must see that justice is done!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and looked emotionless as she watched her performance.
This woman¡¯s acting has really been brought to the point of perfection!
If not for the close rtionship between Yin Shaojie and her, the woman would have seeded in inciting disharmony.
Yin Shaojie seemed to be hiding his smile, as he looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, ¡°What about you? How are you going to exin this?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed as she leaned on the back of the chair and folded her arms. She then red at him and said aggressively, ¡°Do I need to exin?¡± ¡±
Hearing that, the students gasped in astonishment.
Mu Xiaoxiao must be out of her mind! She dares to speak to Young Master Jie so arrogantly?
Young Master Jie is used to being the proudest rich heir. No one can speak that way to him. No one!
At this moment, all the students were thinking if Mu Xiaoxiao had be arrogant from all the pampering. She must have won Young Master Jie¡¯s affection and started to feel arrogant. Now she is courting death! Serves her right!
They were all waiting to witness Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s horrible fate.
However, Yin Shaojie let out a devious, charming smile as if he agreed with Mu Xiaoxiao. He nodded his head and said, ¡°Indeed, you don¡¯t have to exin.¡±
Given the trust they had in each other, even if she really did it, he would have pped his hands to apud her for a job well done.

The ssroom immediately became silent as Yin Shaojie uttered those words.
The students thought that they had heard wrong. Some were even rubbing their eyes to confirm that what they saw was real.
What did Young Master Jie say?
He told Mu Xiaoxiao that she didn¡¯t need to exin?
The onlookers were stupefied, let alone Bai Meijiao, who was stunned and had even forgotten to scratch her itch.
Is this person really the Young Master Jie that she knew?
Why¡ Why can he say such pampering words to Mu Xiaoxiao?
Though Bai Meijiao had suffered many blows, this was the greatest shock to her.
¡°No, this is not right¡ This can¡¯t be right¡¡± She looked to be suffering and grieving as she shook her head like a nut job.
My face is so itchy. So itchy!
She scratched continuously as she couldn¡¯t stand the itch. The skin on her face was broken by her nails, and streaks of blood could be seen.
Bai Meijiao started crying. No, I won¡¯t ept this! No, no¡
The salty tears seeped into her wounded skin, and she grimaced in pain.
¡°It¡¯s so itchy! It hurts!¡±
Bai Meijiao suddenly snapped out of it and stared at her fingernails in a daze. There were traces of blood on them.
¡°Ah¡ª¡± she screamed miserably.
My face!
Like a malicious spirit, Bai Meijiao flew out of the ssroom.
The ssroom was quiet for a second, then whispers followed as they started their discussion.
¡°Did you see Bai Meijiao¡¯s face? How horrible. Do you think she will be disfigured?¡±
¡°If it¡¯s just ordinary itching powder, it may not disfigure her. But if she had been more malicious and put some other ingredients in, that would be hard to say.¡±
¡°Hehe, she is suffering the consequences of her actions.
¡°Exactly, she deserved it!¡±
Yin Shaojie reached out his long fingers and raised Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s chin to let her look into his eyes.
He raised his eyebrows and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you pitying her?¡±
His pitch-ck eyes seemed to have seen through her heart, and his gaze was deep and prating.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head, and like a peeved child she said, ¡°She wanted to hurt me. I¡¯m not going to feel pity for her¡¡±
However, the thought of disfigurement was unimaginably horrifying to a girl.
¡°Sometimes you are just too kind.¡± Yin Shaojie pinched her soft cheek. Staring at it for a moment, he felt like giving it a kiss. But with so many onlookers around, he had no choice but to resist it.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned as she pushed away his hand and protested, ¡°I¡¯m not like those sweet, fair, foolish girls in dramas!¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled and said, ¡°Who says you aren¡¯t? Don¡¯t you always act foolishly? Look at your face. Isn¡¯t it fair? And sweet¡¡±
A scorching gaze fell on her tender lips.
That little mouth is so sweet. She is definitely sweet.
However, he couldn¡¯t say it out loud. Him secretly kissing her was still a secret.
Yin Shaojie was secretly smiling from the thought of the secret.
¡°What about being sweet?¡± Though Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t like him saying her foolish, she was very curious how he would exin what was so sweet about her.
Is it my smile that is sweet?
Yin Shaojie coughed, and his elegant face blushed faintly. He tried to hide it and said, ¡°Sweet? I don¡¯t know. Go figure!¡±
Dissatisfied, Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and said, ¡°It can be a sweet smile! How is yournguage standard so poor?¡±
It was rare that he had praise for her, yet he couldn¡¯t evene up with something so simple. How maddening!
Is this bastard deliberately not saying it?

With his long finger, Yin Shaojie pushed her forehead as he smiled teasingly and said, ¡°Sweet smile? Do you feel no shame? You really are thick skinned. How is your smile sweet? It¡¯s obviously hiding a little demon¡¡±
¡°Nonsense! Your smile hides a little demon!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao panted with rage as she red at him. She had never thought that that would be how he would describe her.
A little demon hiding behind my smile?
What nonsense!
¡°You obviously do. You obviously do.¡± This time, Yin Shaojie poked her angry cheek. It was soft, and he was having fun. It was like ying with a peeled egg.
¡°You¡¯re the one with the little demon!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao swatted away his hand.
¡°It¡¯s you.¡±
¡°It¡¯s you!¡±
¡°It¡¯s obviously you.¡±
¡°You¡¯re the one! You¡¯re the demon! Big demon! Big bastard!¡±
Their bickering could not be more childish.
However, the onlooking students around them were stupefied by the scene.
It was enough that they were strangely treated to a show of affection.
But, what now?
Young Master Jie, you¡¯re acting out of character!
Where is the usual devilish haughtiness? Where is the proud and imposing air of a president?
How did you be so ck-bellied [1. ck belly is amon term used to describe a character as being secretly evil/sly/maniptive.] and rascally¡
¡
In the afternoon when school ended.
Yin Shaojie took Mu Xiaoxiao to the Student Union again. Han Qiqing, Song Shijun, and the others were already there, and the five-star meal arrived just in time.
The group sat down to have their lunch.
Mu Xiaoxiao noticed Han Qiqing¡¯s expression that she waspletely inattentive, lost in thought.
Actually, she did not even need to guess that Han Qiqing must be thinking of Lu Yichen.
She nced at Yin Shaojie. Then, she hid her phone beneath the table and secretly sent Han Qiqing a text.
¡°Oh yeah,¡± someone said suddenly, scaring Mu Xiaoxiao as she raised her head from the fright. She then found out it was not Yin Shaojie who was speaking but Song Shijun.
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him.
Song Shijun looked back at her, puzzled, and he turned to Yin Shaojie and said, ¡°The one who drove a motorcycle clearly intended to harm Xiaoxiao. If Lu Yichen had not stepped in to take the hit, Xiaoxiao would have been in danger! Are you still going to look into the matter?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at him condescendingly and said, ¡°Do I need you to tell me that? I have already sent people to look into it.¡±
That man had targeted Mu Xiaoxiao, and he would not let that culprit get away because of this.
Song Shijun asked hurriedly, ¡°Then, what have you found? Who was the one behind this? Xiaoxiao has onlye back to China for a short while. How could she have made enemies?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao, who was listening, also started to pay more attention to the conversation.
She also wanted to find out the person who bore such intense hatred toward her to have sent people to harm her.
Yin Shaojie furrowed his brows and said, ¡°There is a lead. The culprit¡¯s face was caught in the school¡¯s surveince camera. I¡¯ve already sent people to search for him. If we can find him, then we will know who the one behind it is.
Song Shijun sighed and said, ¡°That is as good as no progress then¡¡±
Just as he finished talking, Yin Shaojie¡¯s cell phone rang. He answered the call, and his expression turned grave.
Seeing that he ced down his cell phone, Mu Xiaoxiao quickly asked, ¡°Any news?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Yin Shaojie nodded as he ced his phone in front of them and yed the video he just received.
Seeing the person in the video, Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned, her eyes wide opened. ¡°How can it be her!¡±

Chapter 217: Women Are the Cruelest Creatures

The background of the video showed a single-patient room in a hospital. The pair were talking to each other face-to-face. Standing in front of the bed was a man who was wearing a ck mask that covered the lower half of his face, his features indistinguishable.
In the video, there was a mysterious person who was sitting on the bed talking to the masked man.
What blew Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mind was that this person turned out to be¡ Bai Meijiao!
The video quality was clear, and they could easily make out the redness of her face, crisscrossed with many scratch marks. Thus, this video had surely been taken recently.
This was because an hour ago, Bai Meijiao, who had inflicted the itching powder on herself, should have rushed to the hospital.
The video wasn¡¯t very long and was over in a bit. Because it had been filmed in secret, there was no audio, and their conversation couldn¡¯t be heard.
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. ¡°So it was her¡¡± she mumbled.
Song Shijun, who had also rushed over to watch the video, rubbed his chin as he said, ¡°Is this the person who rode on the bike? With his face covered up like that, how are we certain that¡¯s him?¡±
Yin Shaojie shot him a look before showing him a photo on his phone.
¡°It¡¯s natural for private eyes to be thorough in their investigation of such matters. You can see for yourself if its the same person.¡±
The photo was a made up of two pictures. One of them was the man in the video with his mask off while the other was a screenshot from the school¡¯s security feed. Even though the screenshot wasn¡¯t very clear, it was obvious that the people in the photo were the same person.
After Song Shijun confirmed this, he pped his hands together and eximed, ¡°Woah! So this was Bai Meijiao¡¯s doing! This is so, so shocking. Your ex looks totally sweet and demure. How can she be so cruel?¡±
That exins the saying that women are the cruelest creatures, indeed!
Song Shijun shivered in fear and returned to his seat.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little shocked as she said, ¡°I was guessing if the motorbike guy was rted to what happened with her in ss. Who¡¯d know that it was true¡¡±
The present had only contained itching powder, which would make someone feel really ufortable at most, but it wasn¡¯t fatal.
However, the person on the motorbike had used a knife to try to injure her.
If Lu Yichen hadn¡¯t used his arm to block that knife for her, wouldn¡¯t it have gone through her instead?
Finally, Han Qiqing came to her senses and returned to normal. ¡°What happened in ss just now? What did that slut do to you?¡± she asked Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly and summarized the incident in ss simply.
After Han Qiqing heard the story, she pped the table, fuming. ¡°This slut! How dare she do this to you! And this is the second time at that! We can¡¯t let her off like this anymore!¡±
Song Shijun echoed, ¡°Yes! We can¡¯t let her off like this!¡±
He immediately turned towards Yin Shaojie and asked, ¡°Great Master Yin, how are you going to stand up for our darling Xiaoxiao this time? That girl is so cruel. Don¡¯t hold back and pull your punches just because she was your girlfriend!¡±
Yin Shaojie looked askance at him coldly. ¡°Do you think I will?¡±
Song Shijun teased, ¡°Well, in any case, you had a rtionship with her before. If you can¡¯t bear to go all out on her, it may be that you have lingering¡¡±
Before he could finish his sentence, he received an icy stare from Yin Shaojie. He shut up obediently and didn¡¯t dare utter another word.
¡°Also,¡± Yin Shaojie was displeased as he looked at him and said, ¡°Who¡¯s your darling? I dare you to say that again.¡±

Song Shijun chuckled awkwardly. He would only say it again if he was trying to court death.
¡°I¡¯m so hungry; I¡¯m gonna start eating. Come on, Qiqing, these are roasted chicken wings, your favorite; let me pick one out for you. Come on everyone, let¡¯s stop talking and start eating.¡±
He changed the subject naturally.
With her emotions in a mess and hunger in her stomach, Mu Xiaoxiao started to eat.
Yin Shaojie picked out her favorite foods for her and put them into her bowl.
Mu Xiaoxiao was eating a little slower as she was ruminating about things at the same time. Before she knew it, half of her bowl had already been filled with the food he¡¯d picked for her, causing her not to know what to continue eating.
She shot him a wordless nce. ¡°Are you trying to prevent me from eating? How am I supposed to eat with this mountain of food here!¡±
¡°What are you losing your temper for?¡± Seeming to read her mood, Yin Shaojie ignored herints.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. ¡°Since when did I lose my temper? It¡¯s all your fault ¡ª I¡¯m eating, and you were the one who piled all this food in my bowl. I have my own hands, so I can pick my own food.¡±
Yin Shaojie studied her bowl. She still had ess to her rice, but it did seem like it was a little too much.
Thus, he took a fried prawn off her bowl and ced it into his.
¡°Is this okay now? Continue eating then. If you¡¯re unhappy, just take it all out on me, since I¡¯m the only one who can tolerate your temper anyway.¡±
Even though he sounded like he was done with her, his lips still held a hint of a smile.
Mu Xiaoxiao was in no mood to banter with him and continued eating. She looked terribly upset.
A worried Han Qiqing looked towards Yin Shaojie and asked anxiously, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Xiaoxiao?¡±
¡°Bad mood,¡± Yin Shaojie said simply.
¡°Why is she in a bad mood? Haven¡¯t we already found out the mastermind behind this?¡± Han Qiqing was puzzled. Shouldn¡¯t this be a cause for joy?
Song Shijun was puzzled as well. ¡°Yeah, why¡¯s she still upset?¡± he asked curiously.
The most miraculous thing was that no one could tell that Mu Xiaoxiao had been upset from the start, but Yin Shaojie did so in just a single nce.
This is too¡
Song Shijun was at a loss of how to describe this.
He wondered why Yin Shaojie understood Mu Xiaoxiao so thoroughly. It was as though he understood what her every action meant.
Could this be an effect of growing up together as childhood friends?
Song Shijun cast a doubtful nce at Han Qiqing beside him.
He and Qiqing could also be considered childhood friends.
Even though they hadn¡¯t known each other as early as Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao did, they still had seven to eight years of friendship. Why didn¡¯t they have a simr telepathic connection?
Yin Shaojie put his chopsticks down. Cupping his chin with his hand, he stared at Mu Xiaoxiao.
In a mild voice, he exined, ¡°Who wouldn¡¯t feel upset if they found out that someone hated them and was out for them without any rhyme or reason?¡±
Actually, he was feeling extremely guilty about this.
Frankly speaking, it was because of him that she became hated by Bai Meijiao, which led to her experiencing such a terrifying thing.
She had probably never experienced such a thing in America before, someone being out for her blood just because they hated her.
This girl had always had an innocent mind. How could she not feel upset when she was presented with the truth?
No one liked to be the target of hatred, especially not one who had devolved into murderous intent.
Any girl would be terrified to experience such a thing.
His dark eyes were warm and gentle, and he patted her head and said, ¡°Silly girl, this isn¡¯t your fault at all.¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao had alreadye to terms with the news and was somewhat full now. She looked at Yin Shaojie in the eyes and pulled his hand off.
¡°I know. I wasn¡¯t thinking that it was my fault.¡±
How was it her fault that Bai Meijiao happened to hate her and wanted to cause her harm?
She wasn¡¯t the type of person to wallow in self-pity.
Mu Xiaoxiao gave her usual smile as she looked at Han Qiqing and Song Shijun and assured them, saying, ¡°Rx, I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m only feeling a little gloomy because I¡¯m upset.¡±
It should be normal for her to feel gloomy since she had never experienced anyone mysteriously and repeatedly trying to harm her, right?
Han Qiqing smiled back. ¡°As long you¡¯re fine,¡± she said.
Song Shijun was relieved as well and picked out a piece of food for Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°Here you go. Supnt that indignation with an appetite for food! This beef fillet is quite delicious; have some.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao used her chopsticks to push his away. ¡°I¡¯m not eating that! It¡¯s got your saliva on it!¡± she said with mock disgust.
Song Shijun clutched at his chest and pretended to look hurt. Having no other choice, he turned to Han Qiqing with the beef fillet he had between his chopsticks.
¡°Eh, eh, eh!¡± Han Qiqing moved her bowl away swiftly, also looking disgusted. ¡°I don¡¯t want that too!¡±
Feeling hurt, Song Shijun harrumphed before popping the beef fillet into his own mouth. ¡°I¡¯ll have it if you don¡¯t want it then!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was now full and put down her chopsticks.
She looked at her friends and sighed, ¡°Actually, I still don¡¯t get it. I can understand Bai Meijiao¡¯s hatred for me, but does that warrant hiring thugs to hurt me? It does seem a little¡ over the top.¡±
She could still understand it if she had put itching powder into the present to hurt her, even though she was very angry about it as well. However, it wasn¡¯t absurd.
On the other hand, contracting a hitman to harm her¡ It was too terrifying!
Song Shijun shook his head. ¡°As I¡¯ve said already ¡ª women¡¯s hearts are the cruelest! Once a girl gets jealous and loses her mind, there is no limit to what she can do,¡± he said movingly.
Han Qiqing, however, was not in agreement. ¡°Even though that¡¯s not wrong and there are girls who look really tame and docile in appearance but have a malicious personality, I cannot imagine Bai Meijiao hiring hitmen to hurt Xiaoxiao when I look at her. It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t think she can¡¯t but rather¡ she shouldn¡¯t have the guts to do so!¡±
Song Shijun couldn¡¯t help but tease her. ¡°Which is unlike you, who is willing to do anything, huh? Maybe you, Qiqing, will lose your mind over love as well.¡±
Upon hearing those words, Han Qiqing became ufortable and furrowed her brows. ¡°No, I won¡¯t!¡± she retorted.
¡°That¡¯s hard to say. When a girl is in love, all of their rationality is gone.¡± Song Shijun wagged his finger, looking really annoying.
Beside them, Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she said, ¡°I believe Little Qing is not that type of person!¡±
Song Shijun had originally wanted to continue arguing but shut up immediately at Great Master Yin¡¯s nce.
He had almost forgotten that Mu Xiaoxiao had powerful backup.
Grinning, he nodded and said obsequiously, ¡°Yes, yes, of course. Whatever Great Mistress Mu says is naturally right! Your humble servant doesn¡¯t dare to object!¡±
Han Qiqing and Mu Xiaoxiao were tickled pink by his antics.
¡
After lunch, Mu Xiaoxiao followed Yin Shaojie back to the Student Union¡¯s office.
Sitting on the sofa and hugging a pillow to her chest, she wanted to take an afternoon nap.
Yin Shaojie walked over to her side and sat down. He stared at her wordlessly.
Mu Xiaoxiaozily stretched. ¡°Do you have anything you want to say to me?¡± she blinked at him as she asked.
Yin Shaojie looked at her resolutely. ¡°About Bai Meijiao ¡ª how do you want to punish her?¡± he asked in a low voice.

Mu Xiaoxiao studied him for a while, pursing her lips. ¡°I don¡¯t know¡¡±
She shook her head. She hugged the pillow in her arms tightly and leaned her head onto his shoulder, sighing as she did so. ¡°I only know that I don¡¯t want to see her, even in the future,¡± she continued unhappily.
Yin Shaojie ran his long fingers through her soft hair and patted her head gently. ¡°Okay, I understand. I¡¯ll spare you the details of how I punish her then,¡± he said in a soft voice.
Mu Xiaoxiao closed her eyes, enjoying his massage. Nodding, she said, ¡°Yeah, don¡¯t tell me; I don¡¯t want to know¡¡±
Anyway, she just didn¡¯t want to meet Bai Meijiao ever again.
Even though she didn¡¯t know what he was nning to do, she knew that he wouldn¡¯t go overboard with it.
Yin Shaojie patted her head. ¡°Get some rest then. I¡¯ll be going out for a bit.¡±
He needed to arrange some things and make a few calls, but the calls were something that shouldn¡¯t be heard by her.
Mu Xiaoxiao raised her head up from his shoulders, looking reluctant to part with him. However, what she was reluctant to part with was actually his shoulder.
It had been sofortable to lean against him, and she had really wanted to fall asleep like that.
¡°Go and do your thing then. I¡¯ll be napping here. When it¡¯s time for afternoon ss, remember to wake me up.¡±
She put the pillow onto the sofa as she said this andid her head on top of it.
Yin Shaojie got up so that she could now stretch her legs out. He then took the bolster from its corner and handed it to her for her to hug.
¡°Afternoon,¡± his maic voice said.
¡°Afternoon.¡±
Closing her eyes, Mu Xiaoxiao pressed her face against the bolsterfortably.
¡
Outside Second High, in City A.
Han Yun¡¯er sat in the booth of a fancy restaurant alone.
¡°She¡¯s not suspicious of you, right? Good¡ Continue to make contact with her and think of how to convince her. Yes, the job that I¡¯m entrusting to you this time is that simple. Rx, the fee that you will be getting remains the same regardless of whether you seed or not. Okay¡ that¡¯s all; I¡¯ll contact you again.¡±
As Han Yun¡¯er hung up, the corner of her lip curled up in a smirk.
Knock knock.
Someone knocked, and a waiter holding a tray pushed the door open and entered. He ced the dishes that she had ordered onto the table.
¡°Enjoy your meal,¡± the waiter smiled as he said.
¡°Thanks.¡± Feeling in a good mood, Han Yun¡¯er drew out arge bill for him as a tip.
The waiter received it with delight, and the smile he maintained on his face became even more sincere. ¡°Thank you so much! Feel free to ask for anything else!¡± he said.
¡°No thanks; you may go now.¡± Han Yun¡¯er waved him off, acting like a rich missy.
The waiter left. Just as she was about to dig in with a fork, her phone rang.
Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s roars of anger prated the air.
¡°Han Yun¡¯er! How are you handling the matter? You¡¯re simply garbage! I thought you were capable, hehe, but you turned out to be like that! Looks like I didn¡¯t underestimate you in the past ¡ª you¡¯re trash who can¡¯t handle anything well!¡±
Han Yun¡¯er gripped her fork tightly, the veins on the back of her hand showing.
Her smile looked savage, but the words that flowed from her mouth were cool and calm.
¡°What are you anxious for; don¡¯t be so frightened, Sister.¡±
¡°Shut up! Who are you calling your sister! I¡¯ve told you countlessly ¡ª don¡¯t call me your sister! You¡¯re the product of that slutty mistress, not my sister!¡±
The smile on Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s face turned frostier, but her tone remained the same.
¡°Aren¡¯t you calling so anxiously because you¡¯re worried that the job wasn¡¯t sessful and will implicate you? You can rx if that¡¯s so. I¡¯ve already found a scapegoat for this matter. Even if Young Master Jie were to hold someone ountable and punish them, it would fall to that unlucky fool to bear, not you¡ Nor would it be me either, of course.¡±
Chapter 221
221 She¡¯s Out in the Open While We¡¯re Hidden in the Dark
Trantor: AsStudios | Editor: AsStudios /As Studios
Han Xue¡¯er froze for a moment as though she had not expected this to happen. ¡°Who¡¯s the scapegoat?¡± she asked hastily.
Han Yun¡¯er was all smiles as she replied, ¡°Someone else you hate too ¡ª Bai Meijiao.
¡°Why is it her? How did you push the me onto her?¡±
Feeling that the events had fallen into ce nicely by fate, a pleased Han Yun¡¯er said, ¡°She¡¯s only got herself to me. She¡¯s so dumb to want to harm Mu Xiaoxiao at this time. This morning, she hid a gift box containing itching powder in Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s desk drawer. Unfortunately, she became the victim of the deed herself when the powder got onto her face. Mu Xiaoxiao, that slut, has such good luck!¡±
Han Yun¡¯er gritted her teeth as she said thest few words.
She was thinking maliciously: Why hadn¡¯t the itching powder fallen onto Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face? It would have been the best if it had been poisonous as well so that her beauty would have been destroyed!
However, Bai Meijiao was too much of an idiot to carry out her n sessfully.
Han Xue¡¯er was probably thinking the same thing as her. Her voice sounded a little annoyed as she asked, ¡°How are you so well-informed about things? Did you nt a spy in ss S?¡±
This was a possibility. Even though most of ss S consisted of the richest students int the school, there were still a few ordinary citizens who got in through excellent academic results. It would have been simple to bribe them to report on the happenings in the ss.
¡°After all, they say that the ever-victorious knows himself and the enemy thoroughly,¡± said Han Yun¡¯er loftily.
Han Xue¡¯er pursed her lips coldly, feeling disgusted by her tone. How dare this spawn of a slut act like she had the right to be proud?
However, she concealed her emotions and instead asked, ¡°How did you transfer the me to her then?¡±
A pleased Han Yun¡¯er boasted, ¡°Isn¡¯t that simple? Young Master Jie has been going around, trying to find the hitman. So, I arranged for him to look for Bai Meijiao purposely. Once he contacts Bai Meijiao, Young Master Jie will find out about it. Also, didn¡¯t Bai Meijiao try to harm Mu Xiaoxiao earlier this morning? With these two incidents pinned on her, she won¡¯t be able to clear her name and escape punishment! Hehe, she¡¯ll be the one facing the music for us then.¡±
After hearing this, Han Xue¡¯er was shocked by her perfect n. She inhaled and said, ¡°Han Yun¡¯er, you¡¯re such a frightening person!¡±
However, with this, she would be able to rx and didn¡¯t have to worry if she would be implicated if the n failed.
¡°But¡¡± Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s tone changed suddenly. Using a sighing tone on purpose, she said, ¡°Not only has our n failed, but the money has run out too. Are we going to give up just like this?¡±
¡°Of course not!¡± Han Xue¡¯er roared.
¡°But¡ There¡¯s no money left, so I can¡¯t hire any more people to execute any ns.¡±
Isn¡¯t it just money? This amount is so little that it is just peanuts to me! I can give you another two hundred thousand yuan! However, you have to seed this time ¡ª I want to see Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face disfigured!¡±
¡°Got it. Disfigurement? Easy!¡± Han Yun¡¯er assured confidently.
Han Xue¡¯erughed coldly and said, ¡°Easy? How are you going to execute your ns with Young Master Jie protecting her now?¡±
¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about this. Don¡¯t forget; she¡¯s out in the open while we¡¯re hidden in the dark. She can¡¯t be well-prepared all the time, and Young Master Jie can¡¯t protect her at all hours of the day, can he? When they let their guard down, that¡¯s the perfect moment for us to strike!¡±
Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s sounded as malicious as a poisonous snake as she said that. It was a voice that could send shivers of horror down one¡¯s spine.
Han Xue¡¯er was moved by her words and said sneeringly, ¡°Han Yun¡¯er, oh Han Yun¡¯er. You¡¯re so vicious that you¡¯re no doubt your mother¡¯s daughter!¡±
Chapter 222
222 A Pleased Han Yun¡¯er
Trantor: AsStudios | Editor: AsStudios /As Studios
¡°Oh, thanks for thepliment, Sister,¡± Han Yun¡¯er said icily without a hint of anger.
¡°Shut up! I told you not to call me your sister!¡±
Han Xue¡¯er hung up after her furiousment.
Han Yun¡¯er looked at the screen of her phone frostily. ¡°Are you the only one who¡¯s allowed to have a temper? Are you the only rich missy here?¡±
Suddenly, she flung her phone away in a swift motion.
The phone clunked onto the carpet by the door.
Hehe, it was only a phone. Anyway, that dumbass Han Xue¡¯er had given her two hundred thousand yuan, and she could use that money to buy herself a new phone!
Han Yun¡¯er felt at ease now. She pressed the bell for the waiter.
The waiter from before pushed open the door and entered, smiling warmly. ¡°My esteemed guest, what is your request?¡±
He saw the phone on the carpet as he walked in and froze.
Han Yun¡¯er remembered something Han Xue¡¯er had done before.
She lifted her chin up and said proudly, ¡°Pick that up for me.¡±
The waiter picked it up obediently and proffered it to her.
Han Yun¡¯er smiled and nodded satisfactorily. ¡°I want to order some desserts,¡± she said to him.
The waiter knew how to read the mood and brought the menu to her obsequiously before she could do so herself. He flipped to the page containing the desserts and showed it to her.
¡°Miss, please choose your desserts.¡±
Han Yun¡¯er was satisfied with his ingratiating attitude. She skimmed through the menu casually and said grandly, ¡°This page and this other page. I want a serving of all these.¡±
The waiter was shocked. ¡°A-All? That many?¡±
Han Yun¡¯er smirked. With the air of a rich missy, she said proudly, ¡°Yes, all of them.¡±
¡°Yes!¡± the waiter replied.
Han Yun¡¯er drew a fewrge bills from her purse and presented it to him like they were tips.
The waiter instantly beamed with joy. ¡°Thank you, thank you miss!¡±
Han Yun¡¯er had enough of basking in the feeling of being ttered and waved him off. ¡°You may go.¡±
After the waiter had left, she picked up her phone and turned the screen on, discovering that it hadn¡¯t broken from earlier.
The corner of her lips curled up in a sinister smile.
She then contacted that man.
¡°Do something for me. Go and see Bai Meijiao in the hospital at night again and¡ bribe the doctor to put something in her medicine. Hehe, yes, that type of thing. I¡¯ll give you more money. Remember to not screw this up!¡±
After she hung up, she went into WeChat and sent a voice message to someone.
¡°Spread this news for me for two days¡ Yes, say that it was Mu Xiaoxiao who did it; it doesn¡¯t have to be too deliberate, just tell one or two people.¡±
She threw her phone onto the table casually after that.
At this moment, Han Yun¡¯er was feeling extremely good! She felt as though she had all the power in the world to do whatever she wanted to, and it was as though she was a queen.
The fate of both Bai Meijiao and Mu Xiaoxiao¡ were in her hands!
¡°Hahahaha¡¡±
¡
Two dayster.
At the gates of Shangde High.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt like having breakfast outside the school. Yin Shaojie had failed to dissuade her and could only follow her in the end.
The two found a corner and sat down.
Yin Shaojie took a look around, his lips curling down. ¡°Was this the ce you had breakfast with that fellow behind my backst time?¡± he said as he looked at her.
He could still remember that he had not driven off because he had felt that she had been acting weird and had then been surprised to see that she had been hanging out with Lu Yichen.
At that time, he had been so angry that he really wanted to¡ smack her on the butt!
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed awkwardly, ¡°Is this the ce? I don¡¯t really remember anything¡¡±
Chapter 223
223 How Did She Get Disfigured
Trantor: AsStudios | Editor: AsStudios /As Studios
Of course, she remembered that this was the ce!
That was why she had thought to eat here. However, she could not have answered truthfully, since that would make the rascal angry again.
¡°What do you want to eat? The breakfast here is pretty good.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao cleverly changed the subject.
She had already ordered wontons, steamed dumplings, and soy milk. With plenty of options avable in this breakfast shop, she did not know what he wanted to eat.
The breakfast shop was just outside Shangde, a school for the rich. Thus, though the breakfast shop appealed to in folks, it naturally did not look too cheap with its clean decor.
Moreover, there were quite a number of studentsing here!
Yin Shaojie did not feel like looking at the menu and simply said, ¡°Order the food for me, okay?¡±
¡°Okay, what do you want to eat?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
¡°Meat,¡± Yin Shaojie uttered.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Eating meat early in the morning? Isn¡¯t it too oily?
ncing at the menu, she picked two dishes that came with meat and added soy milk for him.
Yin Shaojie frowned slightly and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want soy milk.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve already ordered it! Take it or leave it, hmph!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said deliberately.
At this moment, two girls walked in and sat not far from them, but they had not noticed the two.
Mu Xiaoxiao overheard their conversation, and she listened in nosily.
¡°Days ago, didn¡¯t Year One¡¯s Bai Meijiao get itching powder on her face? I heard that it¡¯s really serious now. It seems that she¡¯s going to be disfigured.¡±
¡°It can¡¯t be? It¡¯s only itching powder. How can it disfigure someone?¡±
¡°That¡¯s what you call just deserts! That¡¯s what you get for hurting other people. She might have added some poison into the mix; otherwise, how did it be so serious?
¡°I remember when she entered Shangde, she had been pretty, and her face had been fair. Heh heh. Now¡ I¡¯m really curious how she looks like after the disfiguration.
As she heard this, Mu Xiaoxiao subconsciously turned her eyes toward Yin Shaojie.
Would Yin Shaojie not understand her?
He could already tell what she was thinking with just a nce at her expression.
He nonchntly curled his lips and said, ¡°It wasn¡¯t me.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly for a moment. Afraid that people may hear her, she said in a softer voice, ¡°Huh? It wasn¡¯t you who did it?¡±
She had said that she did not want to know how he was going to punish Bai Meijiao, so she did not ask him about it.
Thus, when she heard their conversation, she instinctively thought that he had been the one who had done it.
But he said that he was not responsible for it.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly shuddered as she thought about what she had just heard. She was stunned as she looked at him and said, ¡°Could it be¡ that the itching powder really had poisonous ingredients?¡±
If that was the case, then it was clear that Bai Meijiao¡¯s intent had been to disfigure her.
Yin Shaojie sneered coldly and said, ¡°She had already hired people to kill you, so there¡¯s nothing that she will not do.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao felt chilly inside as she let out a helpless sigh.
¡°Okay, stop mentioning her. It¡¯s spoiling my appetite! I said I will deal with her,¡± Yin Shaojie looked at her and said.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, ¡°Yeah, okay.¡±
From that day onward, Bai Meijiao had not appeared in Shangde again, as the school expelled her on the grounds of her bad character.
Their breakfast was served.
Yin Shaojie looked at it disdainfully. He had not been to such an establishment to have breakfast due to his high social status.
However, the two girls from that table suddenly called out.
¡°Look! I heard that Mu Xiaoxiao was actually the one who poisoned her, resulting in Bai Meijiao¡¯s disfiguration. There was nothing mixed into the itching powder initially
Chapter 224
224 That Is Not A Bad Idea!
Trantor: AsStudios | Editor: AsStudios /As Studios
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened as she looked stupidly at Yin Shaojie.
What now? Why had she been brought into the picture suddenly?
Yin Shaojie furrowed his brows and looked at the two girls who were talking.
¡°Is this news for real?¡±
¡°Look, it says on the forum post that there were others in Year One¡¯s ss S who had contact with the itching powder, but they were fine after washing it with water. Why was it that only Bai Meijiao was hurt so badly? It¡¯s implying that the poison was only dealt after the incident!¡±
¡°If that is the case¡ it seems right. I didn¡¯t think Mu Xiaoxiao was so malicious.¡±
Before they could finish, suddenly there was a loud bang as a hand smacked their table.
The two girls jumped from the fright, and their eyes widened.
When they saw Yin Shaojie¡¯s elegant face drawing close, they stared nkly at first, then they jumped from the pleasant surprise.
¡°Young Master Jie! Why are you here!¡±
The two girls excitedly hugged each other as they stamped their legs.
¡°My heavens! Am I dreaming? It¡¯s actually Young Master Jie! Young Master Jie is right in front of me!¡±
¡°I can¡¯t take it, you¡¯re too handsome! You¡¯re even more handsome up close! I¡¯m going to faint! I¡¯m so happy that I¡¯m going to faint!¡±
The two infatuated girls were too absorbed in their excitement that they did not notice Yin Shaojie¡¯s stern expression.
Mu Xiaoxiao was initially still worried for them. Little did she know that it would turn out into such a love-struck scene, and she was unsure whether tough or cry.
She went forward to pull Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm to get him back.
¡°Okay, they were just making spections. Let them talk. We can¡¯t just silence everyone, can we?¡±
She was taking it rather easily.
After all, their mouths are theirs, and there was no way they could control what people wanted to say, right?
However, when Yin Shaojie heard her, his attractive lips curled up as he pinched her cheek in a praising manner and said, ¡°That is not a bad idea!¡±
¡°Huh?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly.
What idea?
Did I suggest an idea?
Yin Shaojie turned to look at the two girls. With his long finger, he pointed at them and said haughtily, ¡°I¡¯m warning you. If you dare spout nonsense to nder Xiaoxiao, I will make you feel my wrath!
As he red at them, the two infatuated girls shuddered from fear.
¡°Are we clear?¡± he asked.
The two smitten fools nodded vigorously and said, ¡°W¡ªwe heard it¡¡±
They wanted to flee immediately, but their legs were jelly, and they had no choice but to sit back where they were.
Mu Xiaoxiao pulled Yin Shaojie back to his seat and said, ¡°Okay, eat your breakfast. It¡¯s getting cold.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll eatter,¡± Yin Shaojie said as he took out his cell phone to give someone a call.
Mu Xiaoxiao was simply too hungry. The wonton and steamed dumplings before her were too tempting. She could not care about what he said as she picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
When she was finished with the food, he was also done with his call.
He regained a smile like in his usual unruly manner.
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled, and she asked curiously, ¡°Who did you call just now?¡±
Suddenly, she realized that the call might be rted to the ¡®idea that she had suggested.¡¯
Yin Shaojie smiled mysteriously and said, ¡°You¡¯ll find outter.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pretended to be uninterested and said, ¡°You should start eating. I¡¯m already done.¡±
Just as Yin Shaojie put down his phone and picked up his chopsticks, she swiftly snatched over the cell phone.
Upon looking at thetest phone call record.
¡°It¡¯s the principal? You called the principal?¡± She was surprised.
Chapter 225

Yin Shaojie did not stop her as he lowered his head to eat, and he quickly finished the bowl of noodles.
¡°Are you done?¡± he turned to her and asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯m done. You haven¡¯t replied to me. Why did you call the principal?¡±
¡°You¡¯ll find outter, okay?¡± Yin Shaojie smiled charmingly. After paying for the food, he held her hand as they left the breakfast shop.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt odd that the two were holding hands, so she pulled out her hand.
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes as he shot her a nce, looking a little displeased, but he did not re up immediately.
¡°When will I find out?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao promptly asked as she was too curious and losing her patience.
Yin Shaojie took her into the campus. They suddenly stopped under a tree. Smiling, he looked at her and said, ¡°Soon.¡±
What¡¯s soon? Mu Xiaoxiao looked adorkable.
Then, the public address system was heard.
¡°Announcement. The posts on the school forum regarding Mu Xiaoxiao have been ascertained to be nderous behavior. From today onward, no student will be allowed to discuss the incident in private. If anyone should vite the rule, they will be given a major demerit. I wee everyone to report the offenders¡¡±
The announcement was yed three times.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly as she listened to the announcement ying three times. Then, she finally turned to look at Yin Shaojie, her mouth opened wide, and she asked, ¡°Yin Shaojie¡ You did this?¡±
So when he was calling the principal earlier, it was because of this!
Yin Shaojie nonchntly hooked his arm over her shoulders as he smiled delightedly and said, ¡°What do you think? With this method, we can silence everyone.¡±
Though they could notpletely put an end to it. At least, he could prevent those people from brazenly spouting nonsense in front of her so that she would hear less of these rumorss.
Mu Xiaoxiao was betweenughing and crying. ¡°You¡¯re really¡¡±
But she knew that he only used his authority like this for her own good.
Yin Shaojie seemed to be displeased as he squinted at her and said, ¡°At least say something like ¡®You did great!¡¯ Who did you think I did all this for?¡±
Though it was undeniable that he had absolute power at the school, this was the first time he had directly used his authority to forbid anyone from ndering her!
Mu Xiaoxiao went along with him and gave him a thumbs up as she nodded and praised him, ¡°Good good. That was brilliant!¡±
¡°However¡ it doesn¡¯t seem appropriate to abuse your privilege like that, does it?¡± she looked up at him and said worryingly.
Yin Shaojie smiled disapprovingly. He was looking down at her in his arm due to his height, and he said, ¡°Do you know what privilege is?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought about it. Of course she knew what privilege was, but she couldn¡¯t find a way to describe it.
¡°Can I check Baidu?¡± she asked.
Yin Shaojie smiled haughtily and said, ¡°I am privilege!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She had only been thinking about how to describe the word and totally had not expected to hear such an answer.
However, his answer was hard to refute.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes was overflowing with brashness and aggressiveness as he said, ¡°Since I am privilege, then I will do what I want! No one shall say otherwise! Do you understand now?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She squinted at him, thinking that if this rascal had been living in ancient times, he would definitely have been a hegemon.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help butugh and say, ¡°I am really curious to know. Do Mama Yin and Papa Yin know that you are so out of control in school?¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°You call this out of control?¡± Yin Shaojie clearly disagreed with her, and he even took the opportunity to pull her closer into his embrace.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt that they were getting too close and quickly struggled to get free.
The students were all frightened from the earlier announcement as they stood rooted to the ground. Realizing that the two were present, they started to pay attention to them.
Yin Shaojie haughtilyughed and said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with being out of control? Life is short. Since I can do whatever I want, why should I restrain myself? Of course, I should do whatever I want. That¡¯s how you live to your heart¡¯s content!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
He spoke with so much conviction that she was left speechless.
Just at this moment, suddenly, people at the side cried out in rm, ¡°I¡ªisn¡¯t that Senior Lu Yichen? Wasn¡¯t he injured and hospitalized? Why is he back in school?¡±
Lu Yichen?
Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head in astonishment ording to where the girl was pointing. Indeed, she saw Lu Yichen just as he was entering the school gate.
Yin Shaojie saw it too and raised his eyebrows. ¡°What¡¯s up with this fellow?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll go and ask. You, stay here and wait for me!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said as she threw aside the arm on her shoulders and ran toward Lu Yichen.
¡°Hey!¡± Yin Shaojie shouted at her as she ran ahead, but he did not stop her.
You¡¯re telling me to stay and wait for you?
I¡¯m not going to listen to you!
Yin Shaojie caught up to her quickly with a few strides of his long legs.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him with an expression, prompting him to calm down, restrain his temper, and be more tactful with his words when meeting Lu Yichen.
Yin Shaojie pretended to not understand.
Quickly, they came before Lu Yichen.
Lu Yichen saw them as he stopped in his tracks. He even smiled faintly as he greeted them, ¡°Morning.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was worried as she looked at his right hand. Though it was not bandaged, ster had been applied.
Puzzled, she asked, ¡°Why did youe to school today?¡±
Lu Yichen looked gently at her and exined, ¡°The monthly examination is today.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly. Then she recalled that he did mention this before. He had an important examination, which was the Year Three monthly examination this week. So it was today?
¡°However¡ your hand is injured, how are you going to take the test?¡± She was very concerned, afraid that he might agitate the injury or even develop hidden implications.
Lu Yichen smiled lightly as he raised up his left hand and said, ¡°I still have this hand! So you don¡¯t have to be worried about me. I won¡¯t use my right hand.¡±
Rarely did Mu Xiaoxiao hear him speak so lively, but she could not care about this as she was fixated on his injured right hand.
She still felt very uneasy.
She said, ¡°It¡¯s just an examination. It¡¯s not even the college entrance exam. Even if you miss it once, it shouldn¡¯t be a big deal, right?¡±
Lu Yichen shook his head, ¡°No, the monthly examination is important. I need to attend it. You really don¡¯t have to worry about me. I¡¡±
Before he could finish, Yin Shaojie interrupted with a cold sneer.
Yin Shaojie looked at him displeased and said, ¡°What you want is the schrship, right? Isn¡¯t that easy! You don¡¯t have to go for the exam, and I¡¯ll have the school give it to you anyway. That should work for you, right?¡±
The school had rules that people taking therger schrships like him must attain a high score for every examination. Especially for Lu Yichen, he had to ensure that he was always the top student.
Lu Yichen¡¯s gaze turned slightly chilly as he looked straight at him and declined, saying, ¡°No thanks.¡±

Yin Shaojie red at him, his eyes burning with fury.
He sneered coldly and said, ¡°You want to reject my help? Don¡¯t think that I actually want to help you. I wouldn¡¯t even want to look at you if not for Xiaoxiao! Who cares if you die! You better think carefully. Which is more important: yourughable dignity or your schrship?¡±
Lu Yichen met his eyes fearlessly. The corners of his eyes turned down slightly as he mocked, ¡°To you, Young Master Jie, the dignity of others is worth nothing!¡±
¡°You ¡ª ¡±
This fellow was really ungrateful!
Seeing that the two were on the verge of breaking into a fight and could start throwing punches at any moment, Mu Xiaoxiao was terrified and quickly hugged Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm to herself.
¡°Aiyoh! Stop fighting! Can¡¯t you talk civilly to each other?¡±
She widened her eyes and stared meaningfully at Yin Shaojie, trying very hard to hint to him not to lose his temper and to calm down.
She pulled Yin Shaojie back a step, creating a safer distance between the both of them.
Mu Xiaoxiao then looked towards Lu Yichen and asked seriously, ¡°Must you really go and take the exam?¡±
¡°Yeah,¡± Lu Yichen looked at her as he replied, his demeanor calming down.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little frustrated but still nodded her head. ¡°Alright, then off you go to the exam! All the best!¡±
She beamed at him as she cheered him on.
Lu Yichen saw that her bright, sparkling dark eyes held her trust for him as though so long he said he believed in himself, then she would believe he could do it too.
This made his heart, made cold by the recent encounter, fill up with warmth.
¡°Thank you, I will,¡± he said, his voice was much gentler, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a little smile.
Lu Yichen also noticed Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze. They were as sharp as daggers and brimming with hostility and displeasure, which made him feel even more pleased.
¡°I¡¯ll get going to ss to prepare for the exam then.¡±
¡°Okay!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to remember something suddenly and asked him, ¡°Then, can I look for you after school?¡±
¡°Okay,¡± Lu Yichen replied. He looked at the time and disengaged from the conversation, walking towards the Year Three¡¯s building after bidding her goodbye.
Behind him, Mu Xiaoxiao was still cheering him on. ¡°Lu Yichen, do your best! Fighting!¡±
Did she even say ¡°Fighting!¡±?
Behind her, the vein on Yin Shaojie¡¯s templed jumped erratically.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiao felt her face being squashed and turned towards Yin Shaojie¡¯s.
¡°Oi, what are you doing¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was squished until it looked out of shape, muffling her words.
Yin Shaojie stared at her with displeasure. ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao! I forbid you from looking at that fellow with such a gaze!¡± he said angrily.
Mu Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes in confusion.
¡°What gaze¡¡±
Had she looked at Lu Yichen with a weird gaze earlier?
She hadn¡¯t!
She frowned and twisted her head in difort. ¡°Let go! My face is about to be¡ squashed t by you!¡±
She finally pried his ws off her after a struggle.
The fury burning in Yin Shaojie¡¯s heart increased as he thought about how she had looked at Lu Yichen.
¡°Did you hear what I said? Not only towards that fellow but also to other guys!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t get him at all and couldn¡¯t understand what he was so angry about. ¡°Okay, okay,¡± she replied perfunctorily just to appease him.
Seeing that she had agreed, Yin Shaojie¡¯s fury then simmered down.

¡°Remember what you promised me!¡± He had one arm around her neck pinning her into his embrace as though to show her who was boss.
¡°Can you let go of me? You¡¯re heavy, you know that!?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao could still feel the pain from him squishing her face from before.
¡°No! I¡¯m not even leaning on you, so where¡¯s the weight from?¡±
Even though Yin Shaojie had retorted like that, he still lessened his grip substantially when he realized that her face was scrunched up in difort.
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him in displeasure and simply pulled his arm off and hugged it to herself.
¡°Is this okay now? Let¡¯s go. It¡¯s time for ss!¡±
¡°Oh yeah, what did you say just now? You were going to look for that fellow after school too? I forbid you from doing so!¡±
¡°What did you say? The wind¡¯s too loud; I can¡¯t hear you!¡±
¡°You little wretch!¡±
¡
After school.
Mu Xiaoxiao arrived at Year Three¡¯s ss S on the dot to see the end of the examination. There were students filing out of the ss, and the teacher was still arranging the examination scripts.
However, there was no sign of Lu Yichen when she entered the ss.
She grabbed a passer-by and asked, confused, ¡°Where¡¯s Lu Yichen?¡±
¡°He left after handing in his papers early.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. ¡°Left early? But his hand¡ Oh yeah, did you see which hand he used to write during the examination?¡±
The student seemed as though he remembered this clearly and answered instantly, ¡°His left hand.¡±
¡°Are you sure?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pressed.
¡°Yeah, he used his left hand for the entirety of the exam and everyone saw it. How can I remember that incorrectly?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao only let him go after finishing her interrogation.
When the teacher passed her when he was about to leave after organizing the scripts, she was shocked. ¡°H-Hello, Young Master Jie!¡±
¡°Hi teacher, hold on.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao turned to look at Yin Shaojie when she heard his maic voice from behind her, stopping the teacher in his tracks mysteriously.
She walked over curiously. ¡°Jie, what are you doing?¡±
The teacher walked back to the teaching podium at a gesture of Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze.
¡°Sit down.¡±
At Yin Shaojie¡¯smand, the teacher sat down obediently.
Watching this, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know whether she shouldugh or cry. Which student dared tomand a teacher like that? She felt sorry for the teacher.
The teacher was a little nervous as he asked, ¡°Young Master Jie, what¡¯s the matter?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Yin Shaojie curiously as well, wanting to know what he was up to.
Yin Shaojie motioned to the papers in the teacher¡¯s hand with his eyes and said, ¡°Take out Lu Yichen¡¯s paper and mark it right here.¡±
Not daring to object, the teacher rummaged through the pile for Lu Yichen¡¯s script. Wielding a red pen, he lowered her head and began to mark the paper.
Perhaps he was afraid to let Young Master Jie wait for long, for he was swift with his grading.
It was done only after a few minutes. He handed the paper to Yin Shaojie.
¡°Young Master Jie, the paper has been marked.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao craned her neck to look anxiously. Her eyes widened into saucers as she saw the marks that had been written. ¡°Full marks?!¡± She couldn¡¯t believe it.
She looked astounded as she looked at the teacher. ¡°Teacher, didn¡¯t Lu Yichen use his left hand to write the exam?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Seeing that she had a friendly demeanor, the teacher was much less nervous.
¡°Then he¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao took another nce at the mathematics paper and found that the handwriting was indeed crooked as though the handwriting had not been dexterous. The circle that he had been required to draw by the question at the end looked a little misshapen.
The teacher seemed to know what she was thinking and exined, ¡°His writing is legible, but to be able to write with his left hand and not have his thought process affected is amazing.¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao emerged from the Year Three¡¯s block feeling relieved.
She didn¡¯t need to worry that she would be the cause of him losing his schrship now that she knew that his exam results were fine.
In Yin Shaojie¡¯s car.
In a good mood, Mu Xiaoxiao turned to look at him. ¡°Jie, you seem to care a lot about Lu Yichen actually, am I right?¡± she asked, smiling.
She hadn¡¯t imagined that he would follow her. Also, if he hadn¡¯t thought of letting the teacher mark his paper there and then, she would have worried over this until the day his results came out.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s brows knitted as he heard these words as though she had said something ridiculous. He harrumphed, ¡°That¡¯s impossible!¡±
He¡¯d only went because of her, okay?
Mu Xiaoxiao giggled, seeing through his pleased expression. She pointed at him and said, ¡°You look really cool on the outside, but internally, you¡¯re a gentle person.¡±
¡°I dare you to say that again.¡± He stared at her.
Not afraid of his threat, Mu Xiaoxiao cupped her chin in a hand and leaned forward, teasing him as she beamed, ¡°I¡¯ll give you a multiple choice question. One: You¡¯re a kind-hearted person, or Two: That¡¯s¡ You like Lu Yichen and that¡¯s why you¡¯re so concerned about him.¡±
She was trying to force him into admitting that he was actually a kind-hearted person. Even though he looked like he hated Lu Yichen on the surface, he still didn¡¯t ignore the fact that Lu Yichen still insisted on taking the exam callously as thetter had injured himself while trying to save her.
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes at her.
This girl was getting more and more daring. It was to the point now that she dared to tease him like this.
Suddenly, Yin Shaojie smirked charming and leaned half of his body over towards her. Grabbing her wrist, he pinned her onto the passenger seat.
¡°So you want to y such games, huh. Sure. Let me ask you a question too.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao froze in ce. The suggestiveness of their pose caused a dust of pink to bloom on her face.
W-What was he trying to do?
Just as she was pondering what he was going to do, Yin Shaojie¡¯s face leaned forward and moved closer. The warmth of his breath tickled hotly on her face as he muttered sexily in his maic voice, ¡°If I kiss you right now, tell me, what do you think I¡¯m trying to say? One: I like that fellow. Two: I like¡ you¡¡±
He moved closer and closer.
Their lips were only two centimeters apart, looking like they were going to touch in the next second.
Mu Xiaoxiao could only feel her thundering heartbeat. Her blushing face was flush with red.
She was frozen in a daze as though she had forgotten that she could push him away.
Just as their lips almost touched, the ringing of bells suddenly rang from outside.
This brought Mu Xiaoxiao to her senses. She moved her head away and pushed him away using her little hand on his chest.
¡°Oi! C-Can you not joke around like that! It¡¯s¡ overboard!¡±
She lectured him as she huffed angrily.
Her fair and delicate face, however, was raging with a blush.
Seeing her so shy was a rare sight, and Yin Shaojie¡¯s mood instantly became pleasant.
He guessed that this girl would never have thought that he had actually really wanted to kiss her.
If he hadn¡¯t been interrupted by the disturbance outside, he might have really kissed her without hesitation.
He looked out of the window. A group of girls were whizzing past on their bicycles and had been ringing their bells noisily.
He smirked as he said, ¡°You were the one who started the joke.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Wasn¡¯t this called ¡°Shooting oneself in the foot¡±?

Yin Shaojie started his sports car. Whistling merrily, he turned towards her and asked, ¡°It¡¯s the weekend; want to go out for some fun?¡±
¡°Where?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao, who usually liked to go out for fun, seemed disinterested.
Yin Shaojie thought for a while before replying, ¡°You¡¯ve not been here for very long these few years. There¡¯s a newly opened hot spring vi ¡ª you haven¡¯t been there, right?¡±
¡°Hot spring vi? It¡¯s just a ce to sit in a hot spring.¡±
She still seemed dispirited as she looked outside the window, deep in her own world.
Yin Shaojie continued, ¡°That¡¯s not all, of course. There are also some roses or something that you can pick personally and put into the hot spring that I¡¯ve heard is popr among girls. Also, there¡¯s a lot of delicious food, such as strawberries that you can hand-pick to eat. There are a lot of other fun things to do too, but anyway, this hot spring vi is immensely popr.¡±
He nced at her and said deliberately, ¡°Okay, if you don¡¯t want to go, then so be it¡¡±
Upon hearing that there were roses, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s interest was piqued. When she heard him mention strawberries, her eyes lit up instantly.
When she heard him say that they weren¡¯t going to go anymore, she replied hurriedly, ¡°I want to go! I didn¡¯t say that I didn¡¯t! Since it¡¯s the weekend, we have to go out and y! Jie, let¡¯s go, okay?¡±
She even used her coquettish voice to persuade him.
If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he was driving, she would definitely havetched onto his arm and acted like a little coquettish kitty to persuade him.
When they arrived at their destination, Yin Shaojie smirked to himself and finally agreed. ¡°Since you really want it, let¡¯s go then! Anyway, a soak in a hot spring is good for our health.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to remember something. ¡°Should we ask Qiqing and the rest? It¡¯s more fun if there are more people.¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned slightly as though he didn¡¯t like the idea.
However, he didn¡¯t disagree outright but said instead, ¡°You can ask them. Let theme if they want to, but it¡¯s okay if they don¡¯t want to either.¡±
Hehe, if someone couldn¡¯t read the mood, they should be prepared to face his wrath!
At an intersection.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly pointed to the other side and shouted, ¡°There, there! Drive there!¡±
Yin Shaojie was puzzled but still did as she asked. ¡°This isn¡¯t the road to our house. Where do you want to go?¡± he asked, confused.
Mu Xiaoxiao lowered her head a little and said awkwardly, ¡°I wanted to say that Lu Yichen might have left so early because he had to go back to the hospital¡¡±
Yin Shaojie swept a nce at her, his face darkening.
¡°Why are you still so worried about him even though his exam results are fine? The doctor only said that he couldn¡¯t move his arm ¡ª it¡¯s not like he was gravely injured!¡±
She rubbed her nose. ¡°Well, he did get injured because he was trying to save me. Before he heals, I have to express some concern asionally. This is called having a conscience!¡±
Yin Shaojie signaled that he was done with talking to her.
He thought to himself that this girl¡¯s personality was too kind and that she was too afraid to be indebted to others.
It had been the same when she was little. One time, she had identally pushed him into the swimming pool and caused him to be down with a cold for a few days. For those few days, she had stayed by his side all caring and attentive, catering to his needs as though she was a little maid.
He did find this aspect of her cute.
However, he would obviously be displeased if this cuteness was shown to other people!
Especially to that fellow!
Even though he was displeased, he still drove towards the hospital.
After parking the car, Yin Shaojie apanied her inside.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yichen hadn¡¯t returned to the hospital. Mu Xiaoxiao rapped her knuckles on her head and said regretfully, ¡°I should have called him first.¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at her as though she was hopeless and said, ¡°I¡¯ll ask the doctor about how he is. Wait here for me and don¡¯t run off, you hear?¡±
¡°Okay, just hurry up!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao replied.
However, even though she didn¡¯t run off, someone else was running around, and that person came across her.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao!¡± Bai Meijiao rushed forward in a rage when she saw her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked, not expecting her to appear suddenly. She jumped in fright and took a few steps back. ¡°Bai Meijiao? Why are you here?¡±
She then noticed the bandages on Bai Meijiao¡¯s face, which rendered her almost unrecognizable.
She then suddenly recalled that, oh yeah, Bai Meijiao¡¯s was at the hospital for treatment because the skin on her face had been injured.
She had never thought that she would coincidentally be at the hospital that Lu Yichen was at as well.
However, on hindsight, this wasn¡¯t that much of a coincidence. This hospital was the closest to Shangde, and it also had a great reputation in City A.
Bai Meijiao looked as savage as a lunatic as she pointed at Mu Xiaoxiao and howled, ¡°It¡¯s you! Mu Xiaoxiao! It¡¯s all your fault that my face is like this! Since you disfigured me, you should die!¡±
She gathered her fists into ws and lunged at Mu Xiaoxiao as if she were a ghost, trying to scratch Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face off.
Mu Xiaoxiao avoided her hastily, shocked by her scary image.
Bai Meijiao liked to go for manicures, making her nails longer than usual. With all her fingers in a w, she looked frightening as she tried to attack Mu Xiaoxiao with them.
Mu Xiaoxiao became extremely angry at her usation.
She was the victim here, okay?
She was the one that people had been mysteriously trying to harm.
If it wasn¡¯t for Bai Meijiao¡¯s own malice, would she have be like this?
Frankly speaking, she only had herself to me!
Mu Xiaoxiao red at her as she retorted, ¡°Bai Meijiao, don¡¯t forget that you were the one who brought this upon yourself! You wanted to use the itching powder against me, but you got your just desserts. Why should I take the me for that?¡±
Bai Meijiao, who was already filled with hate for her, was even more hateful upon being lectured. She saw red.
¡°I don¡¯t care! It¡¯s all your fault anyway! If you hadn¡¯t snatched Young Master Jie away, why would I even need to hurt you? The person Young Master Jie likes is obviously me!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes.
Why should she talk to an idiot?
She wouldn¡¯t be able to get through to her anyway!
Bai Meijiao made a motion as if she were about to clutch at Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face again.
Provoked by this action, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s anger rose to uncontroble levels.
Was she thinking that she was a pushover just because she didn¡¯t stand up for herself?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s diamond-shaped lips curled up. When Bai Meijiao rushed forward without thinking again, she avoided her dexterously in one swift motion, reached out, and grabbed Bai Meijiao¡¯s hair.
¡°AH ¡ª ¡± Bai Meijiao shrieked shrilly.
The passers-by, upon seeing that Mu Xiaoxiao was being disturbed by a lunatic, had originally wanted to step in and save her.
However, it looked like the tides had turned.
The crowd¡¯s jaws dropped in shock. (¡Ñ_¡Ñ)?
Mu Xiaoxiao yanked on her hair unceremoniously and harrumphed, ¡± Bai Meijiao, don¡¯t go overboard! I¡¯ve tolerated you even though you have been so arrogant. Jie wanted to transfer you to ss F, but I let it go and allowed you to stay in ss S on the condition that you didn¡¯t provoke me anymore since I pitied you. You¡¯re suffering because of your own actions this time, so what right do you have to me it on me? Did I ask you to hurt me?¡±

Don¡¯t push me too far!
She was human and had a temper, okay?
Mu Xiaoxiao hadn¡¯t been so angry in ages.
She could only feel the anger in her heart zing, and there was no space to sympathize with Bai Meijiao.
There is a saying that goes, ¡°To be merciful to one¡¯s enemy is to be cruel to oneself.¡± That was so true!
¡°Ah! It hurts!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao, you slut! Let go of me! You should die an ugly death for doing this to me!¡± Bai Meijiao¡¯s delicate and gentle features werepletely gone, and they were reced with ferocity.
She was still unrepentant and looked ready to kill Mu Xiaoxiao.
Pulling the hair of the other party was not only the mostmon but also the most effective in fights between girls.
Bai Meijiao¡¯s scalp was numb from being pulled by her hair, and she had no strength left to strike back.
Moreover, she was usually a fragile figure. How could she best Mu Xiaoxiao, who was usually active and lively?
The only thing left for her to do was cry.
Mu Xiaoxiao released her grip and let her fall to the ground. She didn¡¯t want to look at her anymore.
¡°p, p, p¡¡± She heard someone apud suddenly.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked over and realized that it was Yin Shaojie. He was smiling appreciatively and walking towards her as he pped.
It made her now know whether tough or cry.
What was he trying to do?
¡°That was beautiful!¡± he praised, wrapping a long arm around her shoulders.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t really like to fight and felt that this wasn¡¯t anything to be proud of. She stared at him wordlessly.
Yin Shaojie acted as if he didn¡¯t see Bai Meijiao sobbing on the floor.
He smiled as he said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°If you had acted like this when you were bullied by those girls then, that would have been great.¡±
He still got mad when he thought of her being bullied from before.
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled bitterly, ¡°Please! There were more than ten girls surrounding me then. How could I have retaliated?¡±
She had also been pitted against several girls during the volleyball incident. Moreover, she had been fighting with him at that time and had been feeling really down, in addition to bing dizzy after being hit in the head by a ball. Her reflexes then were too slow.
Suddenly, Bai Meijiao started wailing loudly.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned and tugged at Yin Shaojie. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±
She didn¡¯t want to see this woman. It made her frustrated.
However, Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t move but signaled for her to wait. He then squatted down in front of Bai Meijiao.
Bai Meijiao was shocked. She thought that he was concerned for her when her eyes focused. A wave of happiness filled her heart. ¡°Young Master Jie¡¡±
However, Yin Shaojie¡¯s lips curled downwards coldly as he mocked her, saying, ¡°Bai Meijiao, your greatest wrong was thinking of yourself as more than you are! Who do you think you are? How dare you hurt our Xiaoxiao?¡±
Our Xiaoxiao?
Bai Meijiao was shocked and tried to rebut, ¡°S-She¡¯s just amoner! What right does she have to be with you¡¡±
Only rich misses with a certain status were worthy of Young Master Jie!
People such as his exes, for example. Which of them didn¡¯t have an esteemed status?
How could amoner such as Mu Xiaoxiao be the subject of his adoration?
This was unfair!
¡°Commoner?¡± Yin Shaojie seemed as though he heard a joke. ¡°Who told you that our Xiaoxiao was amoner? Let me tell you that even with your status, you¡¯re unfit to put her shoes on for her!¡±
Bai Meijiao was astounded. ¡°T-Then s-she¡¯s¡¡±
Could it be that Mu Xiaoxiao was also a rich missy?
However, she couldn¡¯tprehend how this could be¡
Bai Meijiao would never know it. Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s real status was something that she would never be able to imagine!
¡°You don¡¯t deserve to know!¡± Yin Shaojie sneered. With that sentence, he rose, and wrapping a hand around Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s shoulders, he left the hospital.

In the luxurious condominium.
Mu Xiaoxiao had juste out from the shower when Yin Shaojie took her ce in the shower.
She curled up on the sofa, hugging a pillow to her chest as usual. In her hands was her phone, and she was using it to WeChat Lu Yichen, asking him why he didn¡¯t return to the hospital after his exam.
Because Lu Yichen couldn¡¯t type, he sent her voice messages ¡ª a rare urrence.
¡°Actually, my arm¡¯s pretty much healed already, so I don¡¯t have to stay in the hospital all day. I only have to be careful of my right arm. The doctor also said that it was fine for me to go for a checkup once every few days.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao put her phone beside her ear and listened to his voice.
Even though his voice was deep and a little cold, it was still very maic, the type that could move the hearts of girls just by listening to it.
Mu Xiaoxiao was attracted to pleasant voices. It was a treat to be able to listen to his voice, and she couldn¡¯t help but listen to it again before replying to him.
¡°Take care then. If there¡¯s anything, please tell me ASAP¡¡±
They two chatted for about ten minutes.
While Lu Yichen was normally a taciturn person, he was still very amodating and was talking to her on various topics, even though it was Mu Xiaoxiao who was talking most of the time.
Hearing the door to the shower open and seeing Yin Shaojieing out as he dried his hair, she hurriedly whispered to her phone, ¡°We¡¯ll stop here then; I¡¯m going to sleep. Goodnight.¡±
Lu Yichen¡¯s voice message came just a few seconds after she sent hers. It was a two-second message saying goodnight.
That voice was so mesmerizing that she could fall asleep while listening to it.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao was not in the mood to savor it. Not wanting Yin Shaojie to see that she had been messaging Lu Yichen, she hurriedly opened Qiqing¡¯s chat and typed a long message, pretending to be talking to her.
Yin Shaojie was drying his hair with his towel. He sat beside her and moved his handsome face close.
His maic voice was sexier than usual as he said beside her ear, ¡°What are you talking about?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao felt her ear jolt.
She shrunk down in difort, not realizing that the tips of her ears had turned red.
¡°I was talking to Qiqing about the trip to the hot spring tomorrow¡ we started talking and the conversation just flowed from there. Hey! Can you not get so close?¡±
He smelled like soap from his shower earlier mixed with his natural scent.
¡°So what if I¡¯m close?¡± Yin Shaojie looked dandiacal as he stretched a long arm across the back of the sofa behind her.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him in displeasure. ¡°It¡¯s rude to peek at people¡¯s messages, okay?¡±
¡°I can¡¯t be bothered with what you girls are talking about. Hurry up and get me the hairdryer.¡±
He pushed her as he sat therezily.
Mu Xiaoxiao asked, ¡°Why should I get you a hairdryer?¡±
Yin Shaojie threw the towel off and pointed at his hair. ¡°To dry my hair, what else? Hurry up and get it!¡±
¡°Just wipe with a towel and let it sit there for a while. Your hair is so short anyway.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao exited WeChat and put her phone into her pocket.
Yin Shaojie stared at her and said dictatorially, ¡°Are you going to get it or not?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had wanted to reject him stubbornly before she saw the look in his eyes. It seemed as though he was going to lunge at her if she said no.
She said, ¡°I¡¯ll get it, okay? Why are you sozy? Pot calling the kettle ck!¡±
She then got up from the sofa and charged her phone at the TV stand before bringing the hairdryer to him.
With an air of a Young Master, Yin Shaojiemanded, ¡°Dry my hair for me.¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao blew his hair half-heartedly. Suddenly, she realized that this guy¡¯s hair was actually quite soft.
She giggled as though she had found something novel.
Didn¡¯t they say that people with soft hair had soft ears as well?
She didn¡¯t know why she thought of this. Her dark pupils roved around and fell onto his ears. By a curious coincidence, her handnded on it.
Yeah, it was pretty soft.
She touched his earlobe. It was so soft! She pinched and rubbed it yfully between her fingers.
Yin Shaojie, who was being ¡°yed with,¡± looked up. His dark eyes looked her up and down. The girl looked captivated as though she had found a new toy.
¡°Are you done ying?¡± he finally said.
His tone was not unhappy and even sounded amused.
Mu Xiaoxiao froze before she realized what she had been doing all along!
She looked a little awkward as sheughed dryly, ¡°Hehe¡ It¡¯s dry.¡±
She tried to pretend that nothing had happened.
However, Yin Shaojie could act like a demon sometimes, and he did not spare her. In a sudden motion, he grabbed her thin waist and snatched the hairdryer away from her. cing it onto the coffee table, he pushed her down onto the sofa.
¡°You were ying around with me so happily. Shouldn¡¯t it be my turn now?¡±
The demon grinned sinisterly, his ws reaching out towards her.
Seeing that things were getting bad, Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to escape. However, how could she escape from a demon¡¯s grasp?
¡°Hey! What are you doing? Hahahahahaha¡¡±
This jerk!
He was tickling her!
Mu Xiaoxiao was afraid of being tickled the most. Almost every part of her body was ticklish. Even though he was only touching her waist, she was already having a hard time trying not tough.
¡°Hahahaha¡ I can¡¯t take it anymore, please spare me¡ Hahaha¡ My stomach¡¯s in pain¡ Hahahaha¡ Help!¡±
She thrashed about on the sofa unbearably, almost falling down from it.
Yin Shaojie reached out with a long arm and scooped her back to safety.
Mu Xiaoxiao guffawed loudly as she kneeled on the sofa, her hands spread on the sofa¡¯s back.
¡°Hahaha, I can¡¯t take this anymore, I really can¡¯t¡ I¡¯m too tired fromughing; stop tickling me¡¡±
She sounded as though she was going to stop breathing if she continued tough.
Yin Shaojie let go of her then.
His dark eyes studied her. Seeing how she was kneeling, he slid up to her back and wrapped an arm around her waist, putting his chin on her shoulder.
Mu Xiaoxiao finally stoppedughing.
However, her stomach muscles felt tired, and she had no energy left in her body.
¡°Stand up and stop squishing me.¡±
She protested weakly,cking the strength to even turn around and re at him.
¡°Don¡¯t wanna. It¡¯sfortable to hold you like this¡¡±
Acting shamelessly as though he was a little kid, he stuck close to her back and appeared as though he would never move even if he was threatened to be beaten to a pulp.
Mu Xiaoxiao had no strength to push him away from being exhausted fromughing so hard earlier.
She could only remain in her pose helplessly.
Yin Shaojie was actually considerate and didn¡¯t transfer all his body weight onto her. If not, her little body wouldn¡¯t be able to endure it.
However, he used enough strength such that she wouldn¡¯t feel ufortable but also wouldn¡¯t be able to escape from him.
The atmosphere quietened in a while, with Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s wheezing permeating the air.
When her breathing had finally evened out, she heard the steady thud of a heartbeat.
It wasing from the chest leaning against her back.
It was powerful and strong, and it made the air around them feel intimate.
From behind, Yin Shaojie could see that a particr girl¡¯s ears were slowly turning red.

He studied the whole process of her ears turning red. It looked like magic. He smirked uncontrobly, his eyes full of amusement.
¡°Yin Shaojie, can you let go?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said shyly.
Yin Shaojie smiled lightly. ¡°No.¡±
He even leaned forward devilishly and blew on her ear. She shrieked from sensitiveness and trembled as though she had been shocked by electricity.
¡°Yin Shaojie!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao warned petntly.
¡°Your hubby¡¯s right here ~ ¡± the demon pressed his lips behind her ears and said sexily.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s elbow shot out behind her. She had regained some strength from her rest earlier.
Yin Shaojie was hit on his chest and snorted, releasing her from his grasp.
Mu Xiaoxiao flipped herself over hurriedly. Her face was almost red all over, and she red at him with her big dark watery eyes. ¡°You jerk! Trying to tease me!¡±
Yin Shaojie onlyughed dandiacally and said, ¡°Since when have I been teasing you? Is it a crime to hug my own wife?¡±
¡°You ¡ª I¡¯m not going to bother with you anymore!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was hot from his teasing, and she escaped into the washroom hastily.
Yin Shaojie leaned against the sofa and grinned happily.
Thus, on this night, the man who teased his wife ended up sleeping on the sofa.
¡
The next day.
The girl on the bed seemed to be dreaming sweetly. Her cherry-like lips were smiling to the point that her dimples were showing.
Mu Xiaoxiao was dreaming of a gorgeous guy. He was holding her in a romantic posture, and his handsome face slowly leaned forward to kiss her¡
Just then, she was awoken by knocking on the door.
She opened her sleepy eyes, but the silhouette in her dreams still seemed very real¡
Oh yeah, the gorgeous hunk in her dream¡
It was too bad that she didn¡¯t get to see his face.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s maic voice floated in, ¡°Lazy little pig, it¡¯s time to get up! The sun¡¯s going to shine on your buttocks soon!¡±
Suddenly, the face of the gorgeous man in Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s imagination turned into Yin Shaojie¡¯s!
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked and awoke instantly.
She touched her face.
Eh! Why was it so hot!
Mu Xiaoxiao groaned and rolled on the bed. ¡°Yin Shaojie you jerk, you¡¯ve ruined my nice dream¡¡± she grumbled.
She had originally dreamed about the most handsome man on earth and had been really excited to be able to see the man¡¯s face. However, it had turned into Yin Shaojie¡¯s face at the sound of his voice.
¡°Xiaoxiao, are you awake? Do you know it¡¯s almost nine o¡¯clock?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice came again.
Mu Xiaoxiao red in his direction. Lazily stretching, she got down from the bed and shuffled over to the door in her slippers and pulled it open.
¡°I¡¯m awake! You¡¯re so noisy!¡± She took out her anger on him.
Yin Shaojie ignored her anger. Examining her bleary-eyed expression, he leaned stylishly against the door frame. ¡°Why are you so pissed early in the morning? Did you not sleep wellst night?¡± he said, grinning.
Was she unable to sleep because she had been thinking about him all night long after his teasing?
Yin Shaojie¡¯s mood became even better at the thought of this.
Comparing the deepening smile on his handsome face with her current gloomy mood made Mu Xiaoxiao dislike him at that moment. She raised her hand, intending to punch him.
Yin Shaojie grabbed her hand and pulled her back inside.
¡°If you haven¡¯t gotten enough sleep, you can continue to sleep then,¡± he said as he led her back to the bed, motioning for her to get back in.

Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m not going to sleep yet since we¡¯re supposed to be going out to y today. I¡¯ll go and brush my teeth. I haven¡¯t even packed¡¡±
They had nned to stay overnight in the hot spring vi, so she had to prepare a set of clothing to change into.
Mu Xiaoxiao gave a big yawn before she shuffled out of the room in her slippers.
She smelt the aroma of breakfast as she walked out of the washroom after washing up. Her stomach grumbled in protest.
¡°I¡¯m so hungry¡¡±
The dining table was filled up breakfast food. She shot suspicious nces at Yin Shaojie as she ate. ¡°You¡¯re acting weird today,¡± she mumbled with her mouth full.
Not only was he taking the initiative to prepare breakfast for her, but he was also in such a good mood at such an early hour.
Didn¡¯t he sleep on the sofa the night before?
How was it that he looked to be in a better state of mind than she was?
Yin Shaojie hadn¡¯t eaten his breakfast before her but was instead eating together with her. He nced at her and said crossly, ¡°You¡¯re the one acting weirdly. Hurry up and eat; the rest are already waiting for us.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao remembered that Qiqing and the rest had agreed to meet at half-past nine. It was almost time, so she increased her eating speed.
She brushed off her hands after finishing up.
¡°I¡¯m going to pack my suitcase!¡±
She returned to her room to pack. They didn¡¯t have to bring much because they were only staying over for one night, but it wasmon for girls to feel like they have forgotten something. She dawdled around, and ten minutes passed in an instant.
Finishing her packing, she lifted her head and saw Yin Shaojie standing by the door. ¡°What about yours?¡± she asked.
Yin Shaojie motioned to the backpack by the door and said, ¡°I don¡¯t have much. You can put your stuff in to save yourself from carrying so many bags.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao walked over and took his bag over.
Just then, Yin Shaojie¡¯s phone rang, and he went out to answer the call.
Mu Xiaoxiao put her things in a bag before stuffing it into his bag.
After that was done, she sat on the floor and studied the bag in front of her.
For some reason, she suddenly recalled that night at the Yin residence and the¡ strawberry-vored condom that Yin Shaojie had hidden away¡
She thought about it and suddenly had a question: Did he bring that thing along as well?
Her face reddened as she thought about it.
She stared at his backpack, her mind in a dilemma.
Should she rummage through it?
It was good that he had gone out to answer his call, so he wouldn¡¯t be back that soon.
The bag was in her hands once more.
This was a heaven-sent opportunity!
She felt as though even the heavens were helping her and had sent Yin Shaojie away with a phone call just so that she could search through this backpack.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little hand reached out to the backpack slowly¡
Before her hand could reach the bag, Yin Shaojie¡¯s footsteps and voice interrupted her struggle.
¡°Are you done? Shijun and the rest are already waiting for us below.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand froze and quicklynded on the bag. She turned around to look at him and said, ¡°I¡¯m done. Let¡¯s go!¡±
She picked up the backpack and tried to carry it.
Yin Shaojie nced at her small frame and chuckled. His long arm reached for the bag and he slung it across his broad shoulders.
Hisrge hand then closed around her small hand as his eyes brimmed with joy and cheer.
¡°Let¡¯s head out then!¡±
They walked out, her small hand wrapped in hisrge hand.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s thoughts were on the thing she was thinking about previously. She really regretted it. She should have acted immediately instead of hesitating!

At the hot spring vi.
Even though the distance from the city to the hot spring vi wasn¡¯t far, it was already noon when they finally arrived, thanks to Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s dy.
After lunch, the two girls mored to see the flowers.
When they arrived at the rose garden, they saw arge area of pink roses from far away. On the other side were roses of other colors, and they looked really pretty.
¡°Qiqing, look! Isn¡¯t thatvender?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pointed excitedly at a patch of purple far away.
Han Qiqing nodded as she said, ¡°Yeah! Thatvender was transnted from Provence in France, so it¡¯s the most authenticvender you can find. They also sellvender essential oil made from them. Don¡¯t you like essential oils? You can buy someter.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes lit up instantly. ¡°Really? Then I want some!¡±
She turned around and said to Yin Shaojie behind her, ¡°Remind me to buy some! Don¡¯t forget it!¡±
Yin Shaojie put a hand into his pocket, looking dandiacal. Upon hearing her words, he frowned a little and said, ¡°What are you buying them for? I forbid you from using them at home!¡±
It was then that Mu Xiaoxiao remembered that this guy was very sensitive to these scents and didn¡¯t like aromatherapy. Even if she bought them, there was no way she could use them at home.
The little girl¡¯s shoulders drooped instantly, and her expression became gloomy.
¡°But I really want it¡¡±
Not only were there roses, but there were also little daisies; violets; and many, many other flowers too. If every one of them could be made into essential oils, then there would be so many of them to buy.
s, he didn¡¯t like them, so she couldn¡¯t buy them.
Yin Shaojie pursed his lips when he saw her dejected expression. ¡°You can buy it if you like it, but ¡ª you can¡¯t use them at home. Go use them at Qiqing¡¯s ce!¡± he said.
Han Qiqing pointed to herself and asked, confused, ¡°Why should shee to my house for aromatherapy?¡±
Yin Shaojie shot her a look and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you encourage her to buy it? You¡¯ll have to take responsibility then.¡±
Han Qiqing was speechless.
What kind of logic was this?
However, to Great Master Yin, his logic was fact!
Han Qiqing hugged Han Qiqing¡¯s arm and blinked her lovely eyes at her. ¡°Qiqing¡¡± She shook her arm coquettishly.
Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t help but agree. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s find a time to for aromatherapy at my house. And how about getting a masseuse for a spa too?¡±
¡°That¡¯s awesome!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pped.
Thus, the bunch of them explored the parterre, and Mu Xiaoxiao bought a whole bunch of essential oils excitedly. She bought one each as though she was afraid to miss out on a good one.
Of course, theirst stop would be Xiaoxiao¡¯s favorite, the strawberry shed.
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to turn into an animal whose leash had been taken off once she was inside the shed. She was so excited that she couldn¡¯t stop, and she picked a whole lot of strawberries.
The sky had already darkened when they finished exploring the ce.
Song Shijun didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. ¡°Just like that, the day has passed already¡¡±
It felt like they hadn¡¯t done anything!
They had only apanied the girls to look at flowers and pick strawberries, and the day had passed just like that.
They ate dinner in a booth.
As he sipped on a homemade wine from the vi, Song Shijun suggested while smiling, ¡°It¡¯s rare for us to be out here for fun. How about we y a game?¡±
¡°Oh yes! What game?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing asked simultaneously. They seemed really excited about it.
Holding his goblet and looking like an elegant royal, Yin Shaojie¡¯s sexy lips smirked. ¡°I¡¯ve got no objections.¡±
Chapter 238 - Probing (2)
Chapter 238: Probing (2)

Thus, they decided to y a game!
¡°Then let¡¯s y¡ Truth or Dare!¡± Song Shijun smiled devilishly as though he had an ulterior motive.
Even though this game was extremelymon and overyed, it was still really interesting to y!
The gears in Han Qiqing¡¯s head turned, and she met Song Shijun¡¯s gaze. They seemed toe to a mutual understanding, and she smiled to herself, nodding in agreement. ¡°That¡¯s a good game! I like to y this game!¡±
It looked interesting from the way they were talking about it. Unaware of any fishiness between the two, Mu Xiaoxiao beamed and raised her hand. ¡°I agree! Let¡¯s y this game!¡±
Yin Shaojie had already given his assent earlier.
Thus, they started to y Truth or Dare!
The vi they were in was a vacation vi, so it was stocked with plenty of games. A roulette wheel was swiftly brought up by an attendant.
¡°The game is simple. This is split into four regions. If the pointernds on your region, you must choose either truth or dare. No passing is allowed.¡±
The first round began right after the exnation.
The atmosphere was tense. Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s dark eyes followed the pointer on the roulette closely.
It spun and spun.
Finally, it stopped!
Mu Xiaoxiao was dazed for a moment. Her eyes followed where the pointer was pointing, and her gazended on Yin Shaojie.
¡°It¡¯s you!¡± she roared withughter, gloating about his misfortune as she pointed at him.
This was an opening that no one had probably expected!
After all, Yin Shaojie was a person who had a strong presence, so his luck should be pretty good. Hence, no one had imagined that he would be the first one to lose.
A hint ofughter escaped Song Shijun, who then covered his mouth to suppress hisughter.
Han Qiqing was bent over at the waist fromughter but still restrained herself a little for fear of offending the Great Master Yin.
Mu Xiaoxiao was the only one who dared tough openly and loudly. Her dark eyes were sparkling as she beamed widely. ¡°If you agree to gamble, then you must ept your loss! Hurry up and choose: truth or dare?¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled disapprovingly as he looked at her and asked, ¡°What do you want me to choose?¡±
Song Shijun hurriedly mouthed to Mu Xiaoxiao: truth.
Mu Xiaoxiao immediately understood. ¡°Truth it is!¡±
¡°Okay, ask away.¡± The Great Master Yin presented himself generously, looking natural and rxed as he propped a hand on the back of the chair as he nced at the three.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little stumped. What should she ask about?
However, Han Qiqing was faster and snatched the opportunity away from her. ¡°Great Master Yin, how many girlfriends have you had?¡±
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head swiftly to look at Yin Shaojie, waiting expectantly for his answer.
Yin Shaojie frowned a little and answered straightforwardly, ¡°I don¡¯t remember anymore.¡±
Han Qiqing looked disappointed. ¡°Cheh!¡±
Song Shijun smiled. ¡°He¡¯s dated so many, so how could he possibly remember this? I wouldn¡¯t remember if I were him either!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao asked curiously, ¡°Even if it¡¯s not in the hundreds, there should be at least 80, no?¡±
Song Shijun wagged his finger as he smiled suggestively. ¡°It¡¯s more than that, of course.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened to the size of saucers as she eximed, ¡°It¡¯s more than that? He¡¯s had that many?¡±
Not wanting to continue the topic, Yin Shaojie took his losses and gulped down a ss of beer, indicating that he had lost.
The second round thus began!
Mu Xiaoxiao studied the roulette excitedly. Unexpectedly, the pointer pointed at her!
¡°Why is it me?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao made a crying face in disbelief.
She chose truth as well because she felt that truth was easier than dare.
¡°Hehe,¡± Song Shijun chuckled. Before he could ask his question, Yin Shaojie beat him to it.
Staring at Mu Xiaoxiao, Yin Shaojie asked, ¡°How many boyfriends did you have in America?¡±
Chapter 239 - Probing (3)
Chapter 239: Probing (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao looked as though she didn¡¯t know how to react and sat dazed for a while.
Even though her face wasn¡¯t showing it, her brain was actually running on overdrive.
Her reputation wouldn¡¯t have taken any hits had there been nothing topare it against!
It had just been revealed that Yin Shaojie had dated over hundreds of girls. If she said that she hadn¡¯t had a boyfriend before, wouldn¡¯t he mock herck of charm?
No, that must not happen!
This was too embarrassing!
Would it be better if she said two or three, or seven or eight?
Would seven or eight be a little too many? But would two or three be too few?
Or¡ How about saying three to four then?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s thoughts were about to be muddled soon. She felt that whatever she answered would seem out of character.
Yin Shaojie looked as though he knew what she was thinking. Staring at her seriously, he said, ¡°You have to tell the truth! No lying!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s senses returned as she looked at him nkly. ¡°O-Of course I¡¯m going to tell the truth! I¡¯m supposed to tell the truth since I picked truth anyway. I know that even without you telling me!¡±
¡°Hurry up with it then! Is this question that hard?¡± Yin Shaojie cupped his chin with a hand and nced at her unhappily.
Did she need that long to answer this question?
Or had she really dated a few guys before and couldn¡¯t remember how many and was thus racking her brains to count the number?
Yin Shaojie¡¯s face darkened as he thought of this possibility.
Mu Xiaoxiao yelled at him, ¡°Can¡¯t you let me think for a while!¡±
Song Shijun picked up some food with his chopsticks and began to eat. ¡°Xiaoxiao, don¡¯t tell us that you¡¯ve actually forgotten how many,¡± he teased.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s embarrassment caused her face to redden.
¡°Of course not!¡±
Han Qiqing was extremely curious as well and looked at her expectantly. ¡°Xiaoxiao, you must have had a boyfriend while you were in America, right? There are so many hunks there; plus, you¡¯re cute ¡ª it¡¯d be impossible for nobody to woo you.¡±
Upon hearing thatst bit, Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her face up hastily and retorted, ¡°Of course there were!¡±
Even though there were many people who had tried to woo her, she was not a person who got into rtionships casually!
¡°Hurry up and tell us then! How many were there?¡± Yin Shaojie was getting impatient. His perfectly arched brows were creased in a frown as though it could catch a fly between them.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and said faintly, ¡°One¡¡±
Even though she had wanted to say three or four, it would have gone against the game¡¯s rules.
Thus, she could onlye up with such an answer after extensive thinking.
It wasn¡¯t exactly a lie if she said there was one.
The rtionship she had with the boy she had dated wasn¡¯t really an official one. It was their friends who had tried to force them together, and they had broken up soon after.
So¡ That could be considered a boyfriend right?
Never mind that now!
That was certainly a boyfriend!
She didn¡¯t want to be mocked and teased by that jerk Yin Shaojie!
However, her answer seemed to not appease Yin Shaojie. Instead, he looked even more displeased.
¡°One? Are you speaking the truth?¡± He had thought that she had never had a boyfriend. She unexpectedly had actually had one!
Also, her having had a single boyfriend was more concerning than her having had multiple, okay?!
This meant that this person had a special ce in her heart.
Mu Xiaoxiao lowered her head and didn¡¯t reply to him.
She thought that he must be mocking her. Yes, he was definitely mocking her!
So what if she had had only one boyfriend?
It just showed that she wasn¡¯t flippant with her emotions and that she was dedicated!
She was unlike him, who got a different girlfriend every few days and could go through a few truckloads of girlfriends every term.
That ginormous flirt!
Song Shijun, who was sitting opposite them, smiled. ¡°Only one? Who knew that our Xiaoxiao was such a devoted person~¡±

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao looked awkward while Yin Shaojie¡¯s face colored even darker.
Han Qiqing took one nce at Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression before beaming at Mu Xiaoxiao. Deliberately, she asked, ¡°Wow, the person who seeded in bing your boyfriend must be super handsome, right? And has the whole package? Xiaoxiao, hurry up and tell us about him!¡±
Actually, she was curious ¡ª a boy who could captivate Mu Xiaoxiao should be an exceptional person, right?
Mu Xiaoxiao cocked her head and thought about it. ¡°In terms of looks¡ Well, he is quite handsome. He¡¯s got a good personality, and the rest of him is also¡¡± she said a little embarrassedly.
The more she described, the more it sounded like they had a serious rtionship!
Han Qiqing sneaked a nce at Yin Shaojie. It seemed like the handsome face of the Great Master Yin now looked icy as frost.
She rubbed her arms.
The booth had turned icy cold in an instant!
The person with the most tact was, of course, the mayor¡¯s son, Song Shijun. Upon seeing Yin Shaojie¡¯s dark expression, he realized that they had crossed a line, and he interrupted Mu Xiaoxiao quickly.
¡°Okay, we¡¯ll end the game here! It¡¯s quitete already; let¡¯s go and have a soak in the hot spring. It¡¯ll be time for bed soon.¡±
Han Qiqing agreed hastily, ¡°Yep, yep, yep! I was just thinking of going to the hot spring. Xiaoxiao, how does soaking in a cherry blossom hot spring sound?¡±
¡°Cherry blossom hot spring? What¡¯s that?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was intrigued by this.
The cherry blossom hot spring was a hot spring with many cherry blossoms in the water. It was this ce specialty and the favorite of many girls!¡±
¡°Oh yeah, oh yeah!¡±
The four of them exited the booth.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression was still dark. His deep ck eyes were fixated on Mu Xiaoxiao, studying her.
Not daring to move closer to him, Song Shijun chose to fall in step beside Han Qiqing.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to notice someone and tugged at Yin Shaojie¡¯s sleeve instinctively. ¡°Eh, Jie! Look, isn¡¯t that Uncle Gu?¡± she asked.
Yin Shaojie looked over. There was a man in his forties, and he was indeed Gu Pingyuan.
The Gus were also part of the Big Four Families, and Gu Pingyuan was its current head.
Mu Xiaoxiao had seen Gu Pingyuan a few times when she was little. Since she hadn¡¯t seen him in a while, she contemted if she should head over and greet him since he was an elder.
¡°It¡¯s him. Are you going to greet him?¡± Yin Shaojie seemed to know what she was thinking. He nced over at him, and his lips curled downwards. ¡°I think you¡¯d better not. It¡¯d inconvenience him,¡± he advised.
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. ¡°Why would it inconvenience him?¡±
She was confused. She looked over to where Gu Pingyuan was and saw that he was with a young girl. The girl looked about twenty or so and was dressed fashionably.
That couldn¡¯t be Uncle Gu¡¯s daughter, could it? Was she a rtive then?
Compared with Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s denseness, it only took Han Qiqing one nce to realize what was happening. Her expression changed to one of disgust as she snorted contemptuously, ¡°Changed another one, huh.¡±
¡°What do you mean by that?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
Han Qiqing looked at her as though she was stupid. ¡°Can¡¯t you tell? That woman¡¯s his ¡®other woman!¡¯ Wait, it should be his fifth or sixth ¡®other woman¡¯ already, no? Anyway, she is his kept woman.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s jaw dropped. ¡°K-Kept woman? How do you know?¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned and shot a red at Han Qiqing. Not wanting her to continue, he interrupted her.
¡°That¡¯s enough. That¡¯s his business; there¡¯s no need to tell Xiaoxiao about it.¡±

However, Han Qiqing could not resist it. To her, not being able to gossip felt worse than dying.
She hugged Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s arm and said softly beside her, ¡°This is not the first time I met Uncle Gu. Thest time I met him, he was with a small-time celebrity. This one¡ looks quite familiar. Oh yeah! I remembered. This girl seems to be Tsinghua University¡¯s school beauty.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. ¡°You even recognize school beauties from universities?¡±
Yin Shaojie pulled Mu Xiaoxiao toward him to distance her from Han Qiqing, the gossip-mill.
¡°Didn¡¯t you want to go to the hot springs? Let¡¯s go.¡±
Han Qiqing shrugged her shoulders indifferently since she was going to be soaking with Xiaoxiao in the same hot spring where they would still be talking about it anyways.
Mu Xiaoxiao was still pretty amazed at the news. She turned back a few times to look at Gu Pingyuan, and she just happened to see them whispering sweet nothings to each other. She could tell from one look that they had a sexual rtionship.
Yin Shaojie noticed her line of sight, and he reached out his hand to turn her head around as he said, ¡°Stop looking. There¡¯s nothing to look at.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed as she looked at him. She couldn¡¯t help but joke, saying, ¡°I have a feeling that you will look like him when you grow older. Yin Shaojie, you¡¯re so fickle. Will you be like Uncle Gu in the future?¡±
Womanizing everywhere and sleeping around.
Though she was joking, she gradually felt that it was hard to swallow.
She didn¡¯t like to think about Yin Shaojie bing like this.
Yin Shaojie stopped, his eyes staring nkly. Then, he walked up and said angrily, ¡°Of course I won¡¯t be like that!¡±
Damned! She actually mentioned me and Gu Pingyuan in the same breath?
Yin Shaojie was so annoyed that he felt like smacking her little butt!
Song Shijun could not stand just watching anymore and said promptly, ¡°Xiaoxiao, you misunderstand him. Our Great Master Yin is not that fickle a person. The reason he made so many girlfriends was because he wanted to find his soul mate!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly.
Soul mate?
Aka the soul¡¯s partner.
Song Shijunughed and said, ¡°Or moremonly known as the girl of his destiny.¡±
It was the first time Han Qiqing had heard about this too. She looked at Yin Shaojie in astonishment, her face in disbelief. ¡°You must be kidding, right? Who uses such a method to find the girl of his destiny? Does he have to get into a rtionship with every girl before he knows who he fancies?¡±
From a girl¡¯s perspective, that was just an excuse for being fickle!
Just as Song Shijun was going to continue speaking, Yin Shaojie gave him a stern re and pounced on him, covering his mouth.
¡°Who gave you the permission to talk about that. Keep your mouth shut!¡± Yin Shaojie said angrily as if his secret had been exposed.
This made Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing even more curious.
Could he be¡ telling the truth?
¡°If you want to die here, then keep talking!¡± A demon threatened.
Song Shijun raised his hand to surrender, and he said, ¡°Okay okay. I won¡¯t talk about it anymore. I was just spouting nonsense. I¡¯m drunk. Yeah yeah. I¡¯m really drunk. Aiyoh, I¡¯m so dizzy¡¡±
He then pretended to lose his bnce and leaned onto Han Qiqing¡¯s shoulder.
¡°Get off me! Why are you pressing on me?¡± Han Qiqing lowered her head and looked at him, displeased. She shook her shoulders to get him off.
As they were bickering, they had almost reached the private hot spring room that they had booked.
At this moment, Yin Shaojie¡¯s phone rang.
He picked it up to have a look. Then he said, ¡°Let me answer this call. You guys can go ahead of me.¡±
Chapter 242 - Yin Shaojie’s Secret (2)

When he left, Song Shijun was preparing to enter the male hot spring room.
Suddenly, Han Qiqing grabbed his hand and pulled him into the female hot spring room.
Han Qiqing pinned him on the wall, her face smiling as she drew near. ¡°About the topic earlier, tell me more ¡¡±
Song Shijunughed. He shook his head and said, ¡°No. You saw that too. He¡¯s not letting me talk!¡±
Great Master Yin had already threatened him. If he still talked about it, wouldn¡¯t he be courting death?
Don¡¯t be fooled by his status as the son of the mayor. Outsiders may think that that was impressive. However,pared to the Big Four Families, he was a notch below.
As he was turning to leave, Mu Xiaoxiao grabbed his arm to stop him.
The two girls exchanged nces, and Mu Xiaoxiao grasped intuitively as she smiled sinisterly and said, ¡°If you don¡¯t talk, I will tell Yin Shaojie that you molested me!¡±
As she was speaking, she was trying to pull open her shirt.
Song Shijun frantically stopped her and said, ¡°Stop! Oh my Great Mistress Mu, my deardy. You¡¯re scaring me!¡±
He was not scared that Yin Shaojie would believe her words.
However, if she exposed herself and disyed just a tiny bit of sexiness, he had a feeling Yin Shaojie would beat him to death because of this.
Mu Xiaoxiao gleefully closed up to him as if her evil scheme had prevailed, and she said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. You can tell us secretly, and we won¡¯t let Yin Shaojie find out about us knowing, won¡¯t we?¡±
¡°Yeah!¡± Han Qiqing nodded in agreement.
Song Shijun did not want to hold up for too long, afraid that Yin Shaojie might be done with his phone call soon.
Then, in a single breath, he quickly finished what he was saying earlier, ¡°Here is what happened. Yin Shaojie has always been looking for a girl whom he will have feelings for because he felt no such feelings with other girls. So, he spent these few years dating many girls to test if he could have feelings for any of them. However, it seems that he hasn¡¯t found any¡¡±
Han Qiqing interrupted him to cut to the main point as she asked, ¡°You said that he was looking for a girl. Is that girl someone whom he met before or is it just an ideal?¡±
¡°How would I know! That is not the main point, is it?¡± Song Shijun asked anxiously, his eyes nervously watching the door, afraid that Yin Shaojie had already found out that he was here.
Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her chin, puzzled as she looked at him and asked, ¡°Then, how did he know that he did not have feelings for any of those girls?¡±
Song Shijun replied, ¡°Do you even need to ask? He doesn¡¯t even want to kiss those girls. Of course he had no feelings for them!¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s eyes widened as she snapped her fingers and concluded, ¡°So that means a girl whom he feels like kissing would be his soul mate?¡±
Song Shijun nodded and said, ¡°You can say that!¡±
Han Qiqing released him, both hands sping her face as she let out a long sigh and said, ¡°How romantic! Who would have known that Yin Shaojie was such a fool for love?¡±
Suddenly, their impression of Yin Shaojie as a huge flirt had changed.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly as she never thought about how that rascal, Yin Shaojie, had such a story behind his usual flirtatious self.
¡°That is true, right? Did you lie to us?¡±
Song Shijun raised three fingers, making a swearing gesture, and he said seriously, ¡°I swear. If I lie, may heaven strike me and may I never be able to pick up girls for the rest of my life!¡±
The two finally believed him.
Mu Xiaoxiao was looking slightly nk.
Hearing such juicy inside story, she still needed some time to digest it.

¡°So can I go now?¡± Song Shijun looked at them and asked.
Han Qiqing flicked her hand and said, ¡°Go, go.¡±
Song Shijun opened the door to check if Yin Shaojie was behind it and quickly slipped out.
Mu Xiaoxiao was lost in thought, thinking about what had just happened.
So that rascal, Yin Shaojie, is really not such a flirt?
For the first time, she found the fact that he had dated so many girls not as detestable as before.
Han Qiqing looked at her dazed and dubious expression as if she knew who she was thinking about.
She hooked her arms around Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s neck as she said happily, ¡°Okay, it¡¯s time to soak in the hot spring! Xiaoxiao, I have so many things I want to talk to you about.¡±
For example, how did this wretch feel toward Yin Shaojie?
Ever since Xiaoxiao returned to China, there seemed to be a subtle change in their rtionship.
¡
In the hot spring within a fog of steam, the two girls were sitting in the pool, wrapped in their towels.
The edge of the pool was built withyers of cobblestone. It feltfortable leaning against it, and the water temperature was just right.
On the water surface floated two wooden trays, one of which was holding fruits with toothpicks attached for convenience.
The other was holding a translucent bottle. The design on the bottle looked fresh. It was a picture of a strawberry that was small and cute.
Mu Xiaoxiao was very intrigued as she held up the bottle and asked, ¡°What is this? Juice?¡±
Han Qiqing shook her finger and said, ¡°It¡¯s wine. Strawberry wine. Haven¡¯t you heard of it? Actually, fruits can be made into wine. Everything that we just saw can be made into wine at the vi. Don¡¯t you like strawberries? I¡¯ll let you have a taste of this strawberry wine.¡±
As she was speaking, her eyes were smiling, hiding her little n.
When I get this wretch drunk, won¡¯t she be able to tell me everything then?
Indeed, Mu Xiaoxiao was hooked when she heard about strawberries. ¡°Strawberry wine? I want to try it!¡±
Han Qiqing poured her a cup.
The apanying cup was also translucent and came with a unique and fresh design. Most girls would find hard to resist its cuteness.
Mu Xiaoxiao was not an exception. She held and kept staring at the cup. When Han Qiqing hastened her, she then finally decided to stop admiring it and start tasting the strawberry wine.
¡°It¡¯s sweet! It¡¯s really strawberry-vored! The taste of alcohol is not too strong. It¡¯s good! I like it!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was smiling happily. She usually disliked drinking and hated the smell of alcohol. However, she was taking a fancy to this drink.
¡°There¡¯s also rose wine. Since it¡¯s such a happy asion, let¡¯s drink to our hearts¡¯ content. This wine is for girls. The alcohol content is not too high. You don¡¯t have to worry about getting drunk.¡±
Han Qiqing was lying through her teeth.
The alcohol content was not too high?
Self-brewed wine would usually have higher alcohol content!
But if she didn¡¯t lie to Mu Xiaoxiao, how would she let down her guard so that she could get her drunk?
Han Qiqing smiled cunningly.
Mu Xiaoxiao took the bottle that she passed over. From the translucent bottle, one could see the wine was gaily-colored just like a pretty rose. The color and luster were really pretty.
Even her eyes were gleaming as she said, ¡°This color is so beautiful! I want to try this.¡±
Girls could not resist pretty things. This was especially true for Mu Xiaoxiao.
Then, the two girls unwittingly drank a lot of wine.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was flushed, looking slightly tipsy.
Han Qiqing went close to her and stared at her face. She then took the opportunity to ask, ¡°Xiaoxiao¡ How do you feel about Yin Shaojie?¡±
Chapter 244 - How Do You Feel About Him (2)
Chapter 244: How Do You Feel About Him (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Huh? Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled, her vision fuzzy as if looking through fog. She was clearly staring right at Han Qiqing, but she couldn¡¯t seem to focus.
Han Qiqing went close to her again, and she said to her in a voice only they could hear, ¡°You and Yin Shaojie are engaged, right? Moreover, he seems to be treating you very well. He seemed really jealous when he heard how you had had a boyfriend before! So how is it between the two of you? You like him, right?¡±
¡°Like¡ him?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao repeated her words in a daze, and she closed her eyes as if she was seriously thinking about the question.
Do I¡ like Yin Shaojie?
I guess¡ I do like him?
Of course I like him!
Then, she nodded as she faced Han Qiqing¡¯s eager expression, and she mumbled, ¡°I like him¡. How can I not like him?¡±
Though they had disagreements, sometimes quarreling and acting rashly out of spite, they would never hurt each other¡¯s feelings.
She remembered when she was young, her father would tease her and ask her, ¡°Xiaoxiao, who do you like most?¡±
At that time, she would hug Yin Shaojie¡¯s neck and answered sweetly, ¡°I like Jie most!¡±
Han Qiqing showed a ¡®just as I thought¡¯ expression, and she suddenly remembered something and quickly asked Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°When I say ¡®like,¡¯ I mean it romantically as in between a guy and a girl! Do you understand? It¡¯s ¡®liking¡¯ between a guy and a girl! It¡¯s a romantic ¡®like!''¡±
¡°Romantic feelings between¡ a guy and a girl?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked adorkable as she batted her eyelids as if she didn¡¯t understand her.
Han Qiqing was betweenughing and crying, afraid that she might have given her too much to drink.
Actually, they didn¡¯t drink too much.
The cup was really small and could be finished in a single gulp. They only drank strawberry and rose wine, and it really didn¡¯t amount to much.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao looked as if she was really drunk.
¡°Romantic feelings between a guy and a girl means¡ For example, when you are looking at him, you will blush and your heart will beat rapidly. You will want to engage in intimate activities with him, like kissing. Oh yeah, have you guys kissed?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at her stupidly. It was impossible to tell if she was thinking or not.
Just as Han Qiqing started to fear that she was drunk out of her mind.
Then, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly said, ¡°Yeah¡ kiss, we did¡¡±
Yeah, she remembered back in her dream when she kissed Yin Shaojie.
Also, what Qiqing said about blushing and heart beating rapidly¡
Recently when she was hanging out with Yin Shaojie, her heart would act weird, beating really quickly, and her face would feel really hot. That must be what she meant, right?
So¡ what I am feeling toward Yin Shaojie are romantic feelings?
Mu Xiaoxiao thought hazily about this conclusion, but she seemed to have not understood what it meant.
When Han Qiqing heard her answer, she immediately got excited.
¡°So you really kissed!¡±
¡°Yeah¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded nkly. The kiss in the dream should count, right?
Han Qiqing¡¯s eyes suddenly brightened up as she jumped, hugged her shoulders, and cried out, ¡°Do you still remember what Shijun said? That means you are Yin Shaojie¡¯s soul mate! The girl of his destiny!¡±
When she heard what Qiqing said, Mu Xiaoxiao was slightly startled, and her heart began thumping.
She was the girl¡ of his destiny?

As she thought about the expression, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes became misty, and the corner of her delicate lips turned up.
She liked that expression.
She liked that she was the girl of his destiny.
¡°Eh? Xiaoxiao? What¡¯s with you? You¡¯re not going to sleep, are you? Don¡¯t sleep!¡± Seeing that her eyes were slowly closing and that her head was leaning to one side drowsily, Han Qiqing became startled and quickly supported her and patted her on the face to wake her up.
¡°Xiaoxiao, don¡¯t sleep! Wake up!¡±
Han Qiqing called to her, but she didn¡¯t respond.
She fell asleep as soon as her head drooped down.
Since she was also drunk, she would continue sleeping soundly no matter how much she was called.
Han Qiqing was very worried as it was not safe to sleep in a hot spring!
She looked left and right, extremely anxious as she asked herself, ¡°What should I do?¡±
She tried to get out of the hot spring to find someone to help.
However, just as she let go of Mu Xiaoxiao, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s body fell toward the water. Frightened, she quickly held her.
Han Qiqing stared at her red little face, not sure if it was because she was soaking in the hot spring or because she was drunk.
She was full of regrets!
Why did I have to get her drunk?
But I didn¡¯t know that this wretch was so bad at holding her liquor!
¡°Xiaoxiao, please wake up! You can¡¯t sleep here, you hear? Wake up!¡± she called and shook her to no avail.
Mu Xiaoxiao was pursing her lips as if she was sleeping very soundly.
But Han Qiqing was worried sick!
She hugged Mu Xiaoxiao by her shoulders as she strained her voice shouting loudly to anyone outside, ¡°Hey! Is there anyone out there! Someone needs help here, you hear!¡±
She waited a few seconds, but there was no response.
Han Qiqing was an impatient person. She was afraid that if Mu Xiaoxiao kept soaking in the pool, she might be in danger.
She thought of a n, and she turned Mu Xiaoxiao around to let her lean forward against the edge of the pool.
Han Qiqing patted her shoulders and said, ¡°Xiaoxiao, don¡¯t move. Just stay like this and wait for me while I find some help.¡±
Then, she quickly got out of the hot spring pool, but she kept turning back to look at Mu Xiaoxiao, afraid that she would slip into the water before she finally reached the entrance.
She opened the door and shouted, ¡°Is anyone there! We have a problem here!¡±
Just as she shouted, Song Shijun and Yin Shaojie came out from the room next door.
¡°What happened? Where¡¯s Xiaoxiao? Yin Shaojie frowned and asked.
Han Qiqing frantically replied, ¡°Xiaoxiao¡ seems to have fainted in the hot spring!¡±
She had a guilty conscience, afraid to say that she was the one who inebriated her.
Hearing what happened to Xiaoxiao, Yin Shaojie quickly rushed into the room.
Song Shijun was also very worried and was going to follow him in.
However, Yin Shaojie turned and shut the door behind him and said, ¡°Wait outside!¡±
Song Shijun touched his nose, which was nearly smacked by the door, as he pouted resentfully and mumbled, ¡°Why can¡¯t you let me in¡¡±
The next second, a thought came to him, and he understood Yin Shaojie¡¯s intent.
If Mu Xiaoxiao fainted in the hot spring, then won¡¯t she be wrapped in only a towel like Han Qiqing?
In the room.
Yin Shaojie quickly rushed to the edge of the pool.
With furrowed brows, he patted Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face worriedly and said, ¡°Xiaoxiao, wake up. Wake up.¡±
However, she did not respond. Her fair and delicate face were unusually red.
He hastily reached out to carry her out of the pool.
In one stoke, the towel that was wrapped around Mu Xiaoxiao came off and fell into the pool¡

¡°Eh! Wait!¡± Han Qiqing saw that something was wrong, and she grabbed the bathrobe on the chair and jumped over.
Though there was fog beside the hot spring, they could still see clearly.
Before Yin Shaojie could focus his eyes, he only caught a sh of fair skin.
Then, Han Qiqing threw herself over and wrapped Mu Xiaoxiao with the bathrobe.
Yin Shaojie stared nkly. Even if it was just a sh, the two snow white lumps on her chest seemed very clear. It was imprinted instantly in his mind, and he could no longer forget it.
As he was holding her, he could feel the delicate skin clearly on his palm. Perhaps it was because she had just been soaking in the hot spring. It was smoother and more tender than even a baby¡¯s skin that one would hate to let go.
However, as Han Qiqing shouted, he could only let go of her reluctantly so that she could help Xiaoxiao to wear the bathrobe.
Yin Shaojie felt his nose itchy, and he quickly pinched it, his elegant face showing suspicious signs of redness.
¡°Yin Shaojie, stop standing there! Quickly, hold Xiaoxiao. I can¡¯t hold her for much longer!¡±
Han Qiqing shout snapped him out of it.
Yin Shaojie reached out his long arm and carried her by the waist.
He lowered his head to look. Han Qiqing had helped her put on the towel, covering the exposed skin.
However, at the thought of skin, the image of snow white, moist breasts would uncontrobly float in his mind.
Yin Shaojie felt his nose was slightly odd again.
He did not want to stay here any longer. The misty fog was like a beautiful scene out of a dream, and it was easy to get carried away.
He quickly carried Mu Xiaoxiao out of the hot spring room.
Just as Han Qiqing was going to follow behind him, she remembered that she was still wearing a towel, so she turned back to change into a bathrobe.
Since Yin Shaojie was there, Xiaoxiao would note to any danger.
Outside the door, Song Shijun was still waiting. Seeing Yin Shaojie carrying Xiaoxiao out of the room, he quickly stepped forward to ask, ¡°How is she? Is Xiaoxiao alright?¡±
¡°She should be fine. I¡¯ll carry her into the room.¡±
Song Shijun followed behind him, taking a few steps before realizing that Han Qiqing was not around. Just as he was about to turn back to look for her, she came over in her bathrobe.
He asked her hurriedly, ¡°What happened just now? How did Xiaoxiao faint inside?¡±
Yin Shaojie was also curious to know what had happened, but the situation was urgent earlier, so he hadn¡¯t had a chance to ask Han Qiqing her then.
Han Qiqing looked remorseful as she said honestly, ¡°We were drinking some wine¡ Xiaoxiao seemed to have gotten drunk, and because she was also soaking in the hot spring, she fainted.
Afraid that Yin Shaojie would scold her, she quickly exined, ¡°Before she fainted, we were still chatting fine. When I found her acting weirdly, I immediately came out to find help, so she hasn¡¯t fainted for very long.¡±
After hearing her exnation, Yin Shaojie did not reproach her but only nodded his head slightly.
¡°Understood. So it should not be too big a problem. She just fell asleep.¡±
Yin Shaojie lowered his head and looked at Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little face leaning against his chest. Her cheeks were rosy as she was sleeping soundly. It did not seem like she was unwell.
Shortly after, they reached the suite that they had booked.
Yin Shaojie ced Mu Xiaoxiao on the sofa and touched her cheek. It was hot, a natural phenomenon after soaking in a hot spring.
He ced a cold towel on her forehead to cool her down.
The flush on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face gradually subsided, not showing the abnormal redness like before.
¡°She¡¯s fine now. You two can go out. I can take care of her here,¡± Yin Shaojie said to the two.

Yin Shaojie was signaling them to leave. How could Han Qiqing and Song Shijun not pick up on the hint?
However, Han Qiqing looked at Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face as sheid on the sofa and said, ¡°Let me take care of Xiaoxiao, okay? After all, I got her into this mess. If I didn¡¯t order wine, she wouldn¡¯t have been drunk.¡±
Moreover, they booked two suites. Wasn¡¯t it meant to put the boys and girls in separate rooms?
Having heard her, Song Shijun suddenly pulled her from behind.
Is Qiqing stupid?
She dares to defy Yin Shaojie?
She¡¯s not one to be so tactless!
Song Shijun grabbed and pulled her hand as he said while smiling, ¡°Okay, it¡¯s prettyte now. Let¡¯s not disturb Xiaoxiao from resting. Come on, let¡¯s go to the other room.¡±
¡°But¡¡±
At his insistence, he pulled her away, and Han Qiqing was taken to the other room.
Upon closing the door, Song Shijun looked at her and asked, ¡°Why did you want to take care of Xiaoxiao suddenly? Shaojie is there, and Xiaoxiao will be well taken care of.¡±
¡°Of course, I understand. But¡¡± Han Qiqing looked troubled as she stared at the door, visibly worried.
Song Shijun smiled suggestively and said, ¡°But what! They are engaged, aren¡¯t they? There¡¯s nothing wrong even if they sleep together.¡±
Han Qiqing red at him and said, ¡°You boys only think about these things!¡±
Song Shijun looked innocent as he still said smilingly, ¡°What has this got to do with me? Are you afraid that Xiaoxiao will be taken advantage of? Don¡¯t worry. If she¡¯s not willing, Shaojie will not force her. What¡¯s there to worry about?¡±
The one person that Yin Shaojie would not want to hurt the most was Mu Xiaoxiao.
He did not understand what Han Qiqing was so worried about.
Han Qiqing lowered her head to think.
He¡¯s right. Xiaoxiao just admitted that she liked Yin Shaojie. Moreover, they have already kissed. Even if anything more intimate should happen, it is only natural.
As she thought, Han Qiqing¡¯s face grew red.
Song Shijun looked as if he had seen something surprising as he joked, ¡°Yo yo yo. I¡¯m not seeing things, am I? Qiqing, you¡¯re blushing?¡±
Han Qiqing shot him a nce and refuted him, ¡°It¡¯s just blood cirction. What¡¯s wrong with blushing? Come on, let¡¯s not stay here.¡±
Standing at the door as if they were going to eavesdrop seemed awkward.
Song Shijun put his hand on her shoulders as he smiled and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go back to our room then. Tonight, we will cuddle and sleep together.¡±
Han Qiqing pushed him away with her elbow and rolled her eyes at him.
¡°Who would want to stay in the same room with you! Come on, let¡¯s get another room.¡±
¡°Aiyoh, what¡¯s the big deal? It¡¯s just staying in the same room. Why waste money? The suites are quite expensive here.¡±
¡°I can afford it! I like to waste money, okay?¡±
¡°Okay okay. You¡¯re the boss. We¡¯ll do as you say.¡±
¡
In the room.
As she was sleeping soundly, she suddenly started moving and mumbled, ¡°Water¡ water¡¡±
Yin Shaojie went to get a cold towel. However, when he came back, he saw Mu Xiaoxiao turning in the sofa.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± he quickly walked up to her side, touching her face as he asked.
Her face was still slightly hot, and her temperature did not seem to be subsiding.
However, an experienced drinker would know that it was because the effect of the alcohol was still present.
Mu Xiaoxiao licked her lips and said in a soft voice, ¡°I want to drink water¡¡±
Chapter 248 - Untitled
Chapter 248: Untitled
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Looking at the brush of red across her pouting lips, Yin Shaojie¡¯s mouth became dry.
¡°Okay, stay here. I¡¯ll get water for you.¡±
He went over to the fridge to pour some water.
Then, the little girl, who was lying on the sofa watching secretly with narrowed eyes, opened her eyes looking sober unlike before.
Actually, she did not drink too much, but due to the hastened effect of the alcohol from soaking in the hot spring, she had fallen asleep.
But it was also because she had been soaking in the hot spring that the effect of the alcohol had dissipated quickly.
However¡
Mu Xiaoxiao stuck her tongue out at him. She was afraid that Yin Shaojie would get angry at her and reprimand her for drinking in the hot spring and getting drunk. He would probably lecture her about how dangerous it was.
She could not be bothered to listen to his lecture, so she simply continued the act after she had woken up.
Hehe, feels pretty good watching him serve me!
Mu Xiaoxiao was very shrewd this time around. She knew that Yin Shaojie had a sharp eye, and it was hard to cheat him.
So before he turned back, she closed her eyes, rxed, and pretended to be in an intoxicated state.
Yin Shaojie quickly walked over as he held the cup of water. He squatted down beside the sofa and said to her in a maic voice, ¡°The water¡¯s here. Sit up and have a drink.¡±
¡°Feed me¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao mumbled indistinctly.
Yin Shaojie drew very close to her. When she opened her mouth, he could smell the alcohol from her body.
He could not help but frown. How much did this wretch drink exactly?
No wonder she¡¯s so drunk.
Though he was looking as if he was unsure of what to do with her, his movements were gentle as he held up her head to let her drink the water.
Mu Xiaoxiao was really thirsty. Thus, she gulped down half the cup of water.
Yin Shaojie ced the cup back on the coffee table. He put his elegant fingers against her cheeks to test her temperature, and he said to her in a low voice as if a subwoofer was beside her ears, ¡°Do you feel better now?¡±
From such a close distance, Mu Xiaoxiao felt as if her ear was being tickled.
Damn!
How did she only find out now that that rascal, Yin Shaojie, had such a sexy voice?
It was as if it could give eargasms.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face turned a deeper red. Her heart was feeling weak from the tickle of his voice, and it immediately started beating faster.
¡°So hot¡ My head feels so dizzy. Boohoo, so ufortable¡¡±
To make it more convincing, she even twisted around on the sofa, her face grimacing as if she was really ufortable.
Actually, it was notpletely fake as she was really feeling hot.
Perhaps it was the remaining alcohol in her body that had yet to dissipate.
However, she didn¡¯t know how the posture she was in made her look while wearing a bathrobe. The tail of the bathrobe was pulled apart, exposing her slender, fair leg.
Mu Xiaoxiao crossed her legs and rubbed them against each other. The delicate sensation made her feel veryfortable.
She could not help but think that her skin was much softer after soaking in the hot spring.
Because her eyes were shut, she did not realize that a certain demon was gazing passionately at her.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eye was like obsidian burning in a ze.
From his position, he could see her beautiful legs, crossed and rubbing, up to her chest, which was exposed her delicate vicle due to her haphazard movements pulling apart the cor of the bathrobe.
Yin Shaojie said in a lower voice, ¡°Ufortable? Then, how would you like me to help you?¡±
Chapter 249 - Untitled
Chapter 249: Untitled
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s gears were turning. He wants to help me? How is he going to help me? At most, he could only change the air conditioning to a cooler setting.
Or could it be that he has already figured out that I¡¯m acting?
Is he just testing me?
If that¡¯s the case, then I can¡¯t expose myself. I have to keep pretending and make it more convincing.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought about how drunk people behaved on TV.
They speak unclearly and cannot control themselves?
Yeah, that¡¯s what I¡¯ll do!
Mu Xiaoxiao could not see with her eyes closed, and she felt around randomly. She happened to feel Yin Shaojie¡¯s chest, and her hand grabbed his shirt as she pulled recklessly.
¡°Boohoo¡ Jie. I¡¯m so ufortable¡¡±
Then, she suddenly hugged onto his neck and pulled down his head.
Little did she know that the two were extremely close now, their heads almost touching.
Yin Shaojie was staring at her flushed face close up. It was red and healthy like a honey peach, looking especially tasty.
He could clearly smell the youthful womanly fragrance from her body. It smelled so good that it put one on the brink of sinking into depravity.
Does this wretch know how cute she looks now?
Suddenly, a strong urge welled up in him. He wanted to know just how tasty this ¡®honey peach¡¯ was.
Recalling the taste of kissing her previously, it made him yearn for more as he couldn¡¯t help but let his imagination run wild.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes were burning as they were riveted on her rosy lips.
Finally, his rationality eroded, and he caved in to his desires¡
Mu Xiaoxiao did not hear him for some time, and she was afraid that he had already found out that she had been acting. After all, that fellow had been tested to have a super high IQ when he was young. Perhaps she couldn¡¯t fool him?
Just as she was thinking about how to continue the act to get through this ordeal¡
Suddenly, her lips were caressed by something that felt slightly rough, but its movement was very gentle.
It feels like¡ his finger?
What is he doing?
The next second, something soft came in ce of his finger, pressing on her lips.
What¡ is this?
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. Her brain had stopped processing, and she was unresponsive, looking nk and stupid.
C¡ªcould it be that he is using something to tease me?
Right, that must be it!
Mu Xiaoxiao could not resist her curiosity as she instinctively stuck out her tongue to find out what that thing was.
She touched it.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s body stiffened, and her mind went nk.
He, he, he, he, he¡ª
The truth was finally revealed, but Mu Xiaoxiao was slow to react as she wondered if she was not just dreaming¡
Just like thest time when she had dreamed of Yin Shaojie kissing her.
So this is also a dream?
Otherwise, why would Yin Shaojie kiss her!
Yes, yes, yes. I must be dreaming. I must totally be dreaming!
This was the first time Mu Xiaoxiao had experienced such an intimate activity while sober, so she was totally lost, and she could hardly resist it anymore.
Her breath was filled with his male pheromones.
It was as strong as alcohol, and it almost made one intoxicated.
He seemed to have also drunk some wine while soaking in the hot spring just now, and the smell made her slightly tipsy.
Initially, she thought that they would just have a short kiss.
However, he did not seem to be letting go of her anytime soon.
Sensing her retreat, Yin Shaojie mped down her chin and lifted her head slightly.
Chapter 250 - Untitled
Chapter 250: Untitled

Just as Mu Xiaoxiao was about to suffocate, Yin Shaojie slowly released her.
His chin was propped up against her shoulders as he breathed heavily, and his deep maic voice exuded a muted sexiness within as he whispered beside her ears, ¡°Xiaoxiao¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart thumped ceaselessly as if it had a mind of its own.
Initially, she was still thinking that she might be dreaming.
However, at this moment, she could clearly tell that this was not a dream.
It was all real.
Yin Shaojie had really kissed her.
He actually took the chance while she was drunk to steal a kiss from her!
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was practically red through and through as she suddenly recalled her previous dream where Yin Shaojie had kissed her. Could it be that he had done this before? Did it appear in her dreams because he had kissed her when she had been unaware?
She had always thought that dreams were a reflection of reality.
Thus, she had felt puzzled for some time about why she would dream of Yin Shaojie kissing her.
Now, she finally understood.
As it turns out¡ he really kissed her, without her knowing, and that was why she was having that dream.
Yin Shaojie was afraid that his big and tall body would crush her, so he supported himself with his arm. However, he liked the feeling of sticking close to her. Her body was so soft and fragrant, making him want to justy on her forever.
Regting his breath, Yin Shaojie knew he could not continue staying in this position.
Otherwise, he was afraid that the beast within him would lead him to devour her.
He lifted his elegant face, reluctant to part as he pecked her on her lips.
He stared at her lips, turned dark red from his kisses as if he was staring at a trophy, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
Yin Shaojie got up from her body and off the sofa, and he carried her into the bedroom.
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to be asleep as she was not making a ruckus like before, quietlyying in his embrace.
Yin Shaojie ced her on the bed, and he covered her with a nket carefully.
His obsidian-like eyes gazed at her sleeping face, and he could not restrain himself as heid his finger on her warm cheek, caressing it to feel her exquisite skin.
Suddenly, he let out a sigh, his eyes hiding a feeling that was difficult to express.
Upon confirming that she was sleeping soundly, he left the bedroom and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
In the dark, Mu Xiaoxiao slowly opened her eyes. She was at a loss as she bit her lips, her heart still beating rapidly.

The next day.
Light shined through the window onto the goose down carpet.
Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed and shifted on the bed as she woke up slowly, smiling sweetly as she habitually snuggled up to her side.
However, the space was empty.
She opened her drowsy eyes to see that there was no one beside her.
Her mind instantly became clear as she looked around therge bed to find that she was alone. Yin Shaojie was nowhere to be found.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the time in a daze.
It¡¯s still early. Has Yin Shaojie woken up already?
However¡
She lowered her head as she thought back, but she had no memory of whether Yin Shaojie hade to sleep together with her before she fell asleep.
Moreover, the other side of the bed was level as if no one hadid on it.
Could it be that Yin Shaojie did not sleep together with her?
Holding this conjecture, Mu Xiaoxiao got off the bed, walked out of the bedroom in her slippers and into the living room, and she saw anky figureying on the sofa.
She stared nkly.
So Yin Shaojie really did not sleep with her in the bedroomst night.
Strangely, Mu Xiaoxiao felt a surge of disappointment welling up in her.
Back in the condo, he always hated sleeping on the sofa.
However, he voluntarily slept on the sofast night instead of choosing to sleep together with her. Why was that?
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted, clearly feeling unhappy.
She could still remember clearly the night before that that rascal had taken the chance while she was drunk to kiss her.
She was supposed to be mad about it, but her face became uncontrobly hot when she recalled the incident.
That bastard!
Mu Xiaoxiao walked up to pick up the bolster from the armchair, and she held the side as she smashed it on Yin Shaojie.
¡°Wake up! Wake up!¡± she shouted.
Yin Shaojie was suddenly roused from his deep sleep. He caught the bolster with his big hand and pulled it toward him in a single stroke.
Caught off guard, Mu Xiaoxiao was pulled along with the bolster, and shended on his chest.
Beneath her palm was his sturdy chest, warm and carrying a strong throbbing heartbeat.
Yin Shaojie pinched his brows. His long eyshes lifted, and he stared at her with his dark, droopy eyes, his voice hoarse from sleepiness as he said, ¡°What are you doing?¡±
The voice that seemed to havee from a subwoofer was so sexy that she almost forgot about her anger.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt tickled in her chest, and her heartbeat elerated instantly.
She was red to her ears. She then snatched back the pillow and hugged it to her chest as if it could muffle the sound of her pounding heart so that he would not hear it.
¡°You¡ Why didn¡¯t you sleep in the bedroom? Why did you sleep on the sofa?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and asked, her tone sounding as if she had been wronged.
She really could not understand why he would choose to sleep on the sofa when the bed in the bedroom was big enough for the two of them.
Could it be that he felt guilty after secretly stealing a kiss from mest night that he was afraid of facing me?
Hehe, that must be it!
With that thought, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s spirits were lifted.
Yin Shaojie got up from the sofa and ran his slender fingers through his slightly disheveled hair. Even though he still appeared sloppy, it could not hide his handsomeness.
He seemed to have slept poorly, and it was as if he had woken up on the wrong side of the bed.
¡°Do you think I like sleeping on the sofa? I hate sleeping on sofas! I can¡¯t even turn around properly!¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao could tell from his tone that he was in a bad mood. Apparently, he really had slept poorly. His usual devilishly elegant face was grim.
Puzzled, she asked, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, why didn¡¯t you sleep in the bedroom? The bed is huge. I can¡¯t take up the whole bed.¡±
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes as he looked at her, but he did not return a reply.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt that he was acting oddly.
Was she right about him?
Was he feeling guilty from kissing her without her knowing that, and now, he was afraid of facing her?
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed inwardly. Who would have thought that Yin Shaojie would be such a coward? How wondrous!
With furrowed brows, he stared at her mouth that was obviously smiling, and he said resentfully, ¡°What are you smiling at? I slept poorly. Are you happy about that?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao replied, but her eyes were smiling.
Yin Shaojie was speechless.
Does this wretch not know that her emotions are showing on her face?
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes as he thought of something. Suddenly, he reached out his long arm to pull her to his chest, locking her with his arms and pressing her against his chest as he stared at her threateningly and interrogated her, ¡°Did you pull some kind of prank on me? Tell me!¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t! I really didn¡¯t!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, asserting her innocence.
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°I don¡¯t believe you. Did you draw something on my face? Otherwise, why are you staring at me and smiling so happily?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not! I¡¯m not smiling happily!¡±
As Mu Xiaoxiao was refuting him, she was trying to contain her smiles and act solemnly.
However, no matter how she tried to feign it, she could not hide her joy showing through her eyes.
The more he looked at her, the more he grew suspicious.
If there is nothing wrong, then why is she feeling so happy early in the morning?
Nothing wrong?
Who would believe that!
Yin Shaojie nced at the phone on the coffee table. It was too far from his reach.
Unless he let go of her, he wouldn¡¯t be able to reach it, but he didn¡¯t want to let go of her.
Then, he pointed at the phone with his chin andmanded her, ¡°Pass me the phone.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked innocent and helpless as she obediently reached out to pick up the phone and passed it to him.
Yin Shaojie turned on the front camera to look at his face, and there was really nothing drawn on it. He then released her from his grip.
¡°Are you still drunk? Why is your face so red?¡± he asked suspiciously.
¡°My face is red? It¡¯s not!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was lying through her teeth. She touched her cheeks, and they were indeed slightly hot.
It¡¯s all his fault!
What¡¯s with him hugging me so tightly just now?
When she caught a whiff of the manly fragrance from his body, she had remembered the hot kiss from thest night, and it was hard not to get excited from it.
Yin Shaojie squinted his eyes as he looked at her and said, ¡°You seem to be acting weird today.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao rebutted, ¡°Y-you¡¯re the one who is weird, okay! You have a bed to sleep in. Why did you sleep on the sofa? You always hated sleeping on the sofa back at home!¡±
At the mention of this topic, Yin Shaojie seemed to have gotten annoyed again.
He pouted and muttered, ¡°If I don¡¯t sleep on the sofa, I¡¯d have to take a cold shower again. Then, I¡¯d rather sleep on the sofa.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was baffled. ¡°What did you say?¡±
Take a cold shower?
¡°It¡¯s nothing! I¡¯m going to wash my face. You can think about what you would like for breakfast,¡± Yin Shaojie said as he got up from the sofa and went to the bathroom quickly as if he was avoiding something.

Mu Xiaoxiao had initially been pondering over his words, but upon hearing the word breakfast, her stomach began to grumble, and her attention drifted.
I¡¯m so hungry. Let¡¯s have breakfast first!
The breakfast at the hot spring vi had a good variety. It had different countries¡¯ food besides Chinese food.
After freshening up and changing her clothes, Mu Xiaoxiao thought about finding Han Qiqing.
However, as she opened the door, she saw Han Qiqing sticking her head on the door before she fell forward, nearly crashing to the floor.
Luckily, Song Shijun had been holding her waist from behind.
¡°Qiqing, are you okay? Why did you ce your head to my door? What are you two doing outside?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao felt puzzled and asked.
Han Qiqing said smilingly, ¡°Oh, it¡¯s nothing! We¡¯re just looking for you so that we can have breakfast together. We thought you were still sleeping.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stretched her herself and said, ¡°I was already awake for a while.¡±
She had been browsing through the menu in the room while waiting for Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie came walking out behind her as he looked at the three and said, ¡°Why are you three crowding at the door for?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao turned back to look at him and say, ¡°I¡¯m starving. What shall we have for breakfast?¡±
¡°What do you want to eat?¡±
¡°There is Cantonese-style morning tea. Let¡¯s eat that!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said excitedly as her eyes gleamed.
No one had any objections, so they went for the Cantonese-style morning tea.
However, the Cantonese-style morning tea there was very popr, and the seats were all taken.
Disappointed, Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°Then, let¡¯s have something else then¡¡±
Though she said that, she was still looking in, reluctant to leave. When she saw the carts of tea and dimsum and smelled the fragranceing from inside, she swallowed her saliva.
Yin Shaojie nced at her and said, ¡°Wait here, guys. I¡¯ll be right back.¡±
Then, he left.
Han Qiqing took the chance to pull Mu Xiaoxiao to the side, sticking close beside her ears as she said softly, ¡°How did it gost night? Why does Yin Shaojie look so bad today?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao replied, ¡°He slept on the sofast night. I don¡¯t know why he suddenly wanted to sleep on the sofa. He didn¡¯t sleep well, so naturally, he¡¯s not looking very good.
¡°Sleep on the sofa?¡± Han Qiqing stared nkly and said, ¡°Why would he want to sleep on the sofa? Did you forbid him from sleeping with you in the room?¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t! Last night, I¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao thought about how she discovered that he had secretly kissed herst night, and her face was suffused with a tinge of red. ¡°I was asleep earlyst night! The door was open, and he chose not toe in. It¡¯s not my fault, right?¡±
¡°That¡¯s strange¡¡± Han Qiqing rubbed her chin. Her eyes suddenly became suggestive as she looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, ¡°Last night, did something happen between the two of you?¡±
Though Xiaoxiao had been drunk and unconscious, Yin Shaojie did not seem like an upright gentleman!
Having heard her question, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s cheek flushed redder.
She felt embarrassed to talk about how Yin Shaojie had secretly stolen a kiss from her.
Mu Xiaoxiao tried to cover it up bashfully as she said, ¡°No! Nothing happened!¡±
¡°Really?¡± Han Qiqing asked suspiciously as she looked at the dubious redness on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s delicate face. It definitely seemed as if something had really happened!
¡°I told you! Nothing happened! Oh yeah, I heard him muttering something about not sleeping in the bedroom. He said that he did not want to take a cold shower. What do you think that meant?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was afraid that she would continue to question her, so she changed the subject.

Having heard what she said, Han Qiqing was nk for a moment. Suddenly, an odd smile appeared on her face as she said, ¡°You were saying¡ that he was taking a cold shower?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her head, feeling puzzled as she asked, ¡°Tell me, what does sleeping in the bedroom have anything got to do with taking a cold shower? There¡¯s nothing!¡±
Han Qiqing sped her mouth,ughing. ¡°Of course there is!¡±
¡°How is it rted?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her, surprised.
¡°Are you dense! Xiaoxiao, I¡¯m really doubting whether you¡¯ve really been in the States for four years. The culture there¡ whatever that is, is so open-minded. You don¡¯t know what that means?¡± Han Qiqing shook her head andmented her naivety.
¡°What? Answer me first, what has that one thing got to do with the other?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was strongly dissatisfied at why she called her dense.
Han Qiqing nced at Song Shijun at the side, afraid that he would hear her, and she hugged Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s arms as they went to a corner.
Then, with two hands cupped around Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ears, she said softly, ¡°Taking a cold shower means¡ he was aroused by you! He did not want to sleep with you because he thought that he would not be able to restrain himself. Do you understand now?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was motionless.
Yin Shaojie was aroused by her?
And he needed to take a cold shower¡
Having understood that, the girl¡¯s face burned red in an instant.
¡°He, he¡.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was so embarrassed that she did not know what to say next.
Thinking back tost night¡¯s events, it seemed to agree with what Han Qiqing had analyzed.
For example, why would Yin Shaojie want to take a shower after soaking in the hot spring?
So he was actually taking a cold shower instead¡.
The more she thought, the redder her face became, and her heart raced restlessly.
That exined why he would rather sleep on the sofa instead ofing into the room to sleep with her!
Just at this moment, Yin Shaojie returned.
Looking at Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing at the corner, he called out to them, ¡°Why are you two hiding there?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was still thinking about the matter when he heard his voice, and she jumped from fright, suddenly pulling Han Qiqing to the front of her.
She did not want him to see her blushing!
Yin Shaojie saw that she was behaving weirdly. He pinched his brows and asked, ¡°What are you two doing? Don¡¯t you want to eat breakfast? We have seats now. Let¡¯s go inside.¡±
Seeing that she really wanted to have that breakfast, he had gone to look for the manager of the ce.
The moment the manager saw him, he immediately arranged the best seats for him.
¡°I¡ I need to go to the washroom!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao quickly found an excuse, not forgetting to pull Han Qiqing along to apany her.
When the two girls left, Yin Shaojie walked up to Song Shijun and asked, ¡°What¡¯s gotten into them?¡±
Song Shijun smiled suggestively, cing an arm on his shoulder and said, ¡°I only heard the first half of what they were discussing. Qiqing was asking Xiaoxiao if anything had happened between the two of youst night. How is it? Seeing as Xiaoxiao was flushed red, something must have happened between the two of you, right?¡±
Yin Shaojie brushed off his hand, squinting as he said, ¡°They were talking about that? Xiaoxiao¡ was blushing? You¡¯re sure of this?¡±
¡°Of course I¡¯m sure. How can I mistake a red face? Didn¡¯t you see just now? Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was red like a monkey¡¯s butt. Isn¡¯t that obvious enough? Come on, bro, tell me what you did to her when she was drunkst night. Hehe.¡± Song Shijun was also very curious as he waggled his eyebrows at him suggestively.

Upon hearing his description, Yin Shaojie frowned in displeasure. ¡°You¡¯re the monkey¡¯s butt instead! One look and anyone can tell how uncultured you are ¡ª don¡¯t you know how to use more elegant descriptors?¡±
Just like that, he avoided answering the question, like he wanted.
This was something between him and Xiaoxiao. Why should he tell anyone about it?
However, Song Shijun¡¯s words made him wonder why Xiaoxiao¡¯s face had turned red.
Could it be that she¡ remembered what happened the night before?
Thus chastised, Song Shijun rubbed his nose, looking wronged.
Didn¡¯t books usuallypare blushing to a monkey¡¯s butt? How did that make him uncultured?
It seemed that the Great Master Yin was so protective of Xiaoxiao that he disallowed her to be described like that.
Did he have to be so bossy?
Yin Shaojie nced at him. ¡°Was that all you heard? Is there anything else?¡±
Song Shijun shrugged as he replied, ¡°No, that¡¯s all I¡¯d heard. After that, they went into a corner and started conversing privately. So,st night, you and Xiaoxiao¡¡±
He didn¡¯t dare to continue his question, for the re of the Great Master Yin was a little too fierce.
After a while, the two girls finally emerged.
The four enjoyed a sumptuous Cantonese-style morning tea.
After she had her fill of breakfast, Mu Xiaoxiao studied to see if there were any other interesting things to do at the hot spring vi. In the end, she decided on riding a sightseeing bus to the valley.
The scenery at the hot spring vi was beautiful. There were flowers and nts everywhere, and their surroundings were swathed in a sea of green.
The air here was really fresh too.
They finally arrived at the valley. There was clear water flowing beside a bed of smooth river stones, and the breeze felt refreshing on their faces.
Mu Xiaoxiao spotted a few tents nearby. She tugged at Yin Shaojie excitedly and said, ¡°Are they camping? It seems like a lot of fun!¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded. ¡°Probably.¡±
He didn¡¯te here often, so he wasn¡¯t really sure about what was going on.
Beside them, Song Shijun smiled. ¡°They are indeed camping. Also, the camping equipment can even be loaned from the vi ¡ª it¡¯s another one of their attractions. Xiaoxiao, if it appeals to you, we could try camping here next weekend; how about that?¡±
¡°Oh yeah!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao seemed like she was pleased with the idea.
Han Qiqing skipped as she agreed. ¡°It¡¯s set then! I¡¯ve already seen it thest time I came here. I¡¯ve wanted to go camping for the longest time.¡±
They could y in the water in the morning and get a campfire going at night for a barbecue. They could y some games and tell ghost stories as well ¡ª it seemed exciting!
Removing her shoes, Mu Xiaoxiao waded into the water with her bare feet.
The water was a little cool, and the cobblestones under her feet felt good.
Seeing that she was about to wade in deeper, Yin Shaojie frowned. Walking over, he grabbed ahold of her arm and said, ¡°Don¡¯t continue; it¡¯s deep in some parts.¡±
He hadn¡¯t forgotten that this girl was andlubber who couldn¡¯t swim at all.
The stream looked clear, and one could see the bottom easily as though it wasn¡¯t deep at all.
However, because of this, it was harder to estimate how deep the center of the stream was for the depth that their eyes perceived might not be urate.
Standing in the stream, Mu Xiaoxiao turned back and looked at him. Smiling happily, she asked him, ¡°Jie, do you remember? There was a year that both of our families went to akeside resort together.¡±
She seemed to be recalling something happy from the past, and her eyes sparkled with joy.
Hehe, she remembered now!
That was when their first kiss happened, wasn¡¯t it?
Chapter 256 - Their First Kiss (2)
Chapter 256: Their First Kiss (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
That should be seven years ago on a summer¡¯s day like this. The weather had been a little hot, and their families had agreed to have fun at thatkeside resort.
On thest day, the pair of them, like all little kids, had so much fun that they couldn¡¯t bear to leave.
They yed by theke as the sun was about to set. Somehow, they had entered the water in the middle of their fun and had started sshing water at each other. They didn¡¯t know that they had waded in too deep until Yin Shaojie had stepped on something and fallen into theke.
It still gave her a fright to think about this now!
They were still young kids of about nine and ten, so they were prone to getting into idents if they weren¡¯t careful.
There were no adults around. At that time, Mu Xiaoxiao was frightened out of her wits. In a haze, she grabbed onto a wooden stick and held it towards him.
Pulling onto the stick with all of his strength, Yin Shaojie finallynded on the safety of the shore.
He then fainted after that.
Mu Xiaoxiao was very rmed. Remembering how she had seen artificial respiration on TV before, she had hurriedly bent down and given him the kiss of life.
When he had regained consciousness, she called the adults over.
Even though she had only been doing artificial respiration on him, their lips had still touched ¡ª that could be count as a first kiss, right?
Yin Shaojie nodded. ¡°Yeah, I remember that.¡±
His inky dark eyes studied the water at his feet as he started to reminisce.
¡°Back then¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to continue but was interrupted by a sharp shriek.
¡°Ah! Bee! There¡¯s a bee!¡±
She had thought that it was Han Qiqing at first, but when she looked over, she realized that it was Song Shijun who was screaming.
Song Shijun was pulling on Han Qiqing and hiding behind her back.
When Han Qiqing realized the bee¡¯s presence, she got a shock as well and tried to shake his hand off.
¡°Why are you grabbing onto me! Don¡¯t you know how to run?¡±
Thus, they dashed over to where Mu Xiaoxiao was.
Without the threat of the bee over their heads, Han Qiqing rolled her eyes at Song Shijun and quipped, ¡°Being so frightened by a mere bee ¡ª are you really a man?¡±
Song Shijun¡¯s face was pale. ¡°Try getting stung by a bee when you¡¯re a kid. We¡¯ll see if you¡¯re still not scared,¡± he retorted.
Han Qiqing went silent.
Once bitten, twice shy. This saying was indeed true.
Song Shijun looked at them and said anxiously, ¡°Can we stop loitering around this ce? Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s head back to the vi.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was sympathetic towards him. It must have had been a frightening experience for him to be scared by a tiny bee like that.
Even though she still wanted to y around in the stream, she decided to give it up.
¡°Let¡¯s go then. What else is there to do at the vi?¡±
¡°Yeah, there is! There are many other things you can do!¡± Song Shijun nodded vigorously.
Because they had school the next day, they left the vi in the afternoon.
Back at the apartment.
Mu Xiaoxiao threw herself onto the sofa.
¡°I¡¯m so tired¡ Why are my shoulders aching? If I had someone to massage them for me, it would be perfect.¡±
Sheid down on the sofa and casted a sidelong nce at Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie carried his backpack into the room.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips in annoyance.
Was this guy ignoring her deliberately?
She had been so obvious in her demands!
She waited for a while, but he didn¡¯te out. Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s displeasure had been stewing, and she couldn¡¯t help but shout, ¡°Yin Shaojie!¡±
¡°Yeah?¡± a particr demon¡¯s voice drawled.
¡°Did you hear what I said? I¡¯m tired¡ My shoulders are aching¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiaoined. She was on the sofa like azy bug.

It was only then that Yin Shaojie emerged slowly. He leaned against the wall and looked at her.
The sun was setting. The orange light from the afterglow filtered through the window and fell onto his face, entuating his already sharp and handsome features, increasing his charm.
¡°Are you acting coy now?¡± he asked, his maic voice amused.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt that his appearance was unusually sexy. His voice and his tone seemed to be seducing her.
Luckily, the lights in the room were off. He couldn¡¯t see how embarrassed she was, could he?
¡°W-who¡¯s acting coy! Hurry up ande over here and massage my shoulders! They¡¯re aching really badly, okay?¡± she said, pretending to be calm.
Afraid that she would be caught out for her uneasiness, she turned her face away from him.
She heard the sound of his footsteps padding over to the sofa slowly.
She knew that he hade.
¡°Where are you aching?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice rang beside her ear suddenly. His low sound made her ears tingle.
Mu Xiaoxiao jumped in fright, her heart skipping a beat.
W-Why was he so close! Couldn¡¯t he speak normally without speaking into her ear directly?
¡°It¡¯s just my shoulders¡¡± she said in a small voice unlike her loud one just now.
Seeing that she seemed to be burying her head into the pillow from shyness, his sexy lips curled into a smirk.
¡°Shoulders, huh? I¡¯ll rub them for you then. Lie still.¡±
Hisrge, warm hands massaged her shoulders as he said this. It was neither too heavy or too fast, and his strength was just nice to make Mu Xiaoxiao feel veryfortable.
¡°Yes¡ That¡¯s the spot, oh yes¡ Go gentler¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao grunted, looking like the picture of enjoyment.
However, she didn¡¯t realize how suggestive she sounded.
A haze of darkness passed through a particr demon¡¯s inky eyes.
The hands kneading her shoulders took a change in direction and moved downwards. The pressure moved to her butterfly bone and then to her small waist¡
It was only then that Mu Xiaoxiao felt that something was wrong. She twisted her hips. ¡°Eh, eh, eh! Where are you touching! I only said that my shoulders were aching, I didn¡¯t say¡ hahahaha¡ Don¡¯t touch my waist!¡±
Her waist was a sensitive spot. It tickled badly once it was touched, and sheughed uncontrobly.
The corner of Yin Shaojie¡¯s lips held a sinister smile. He leaned towards her ear and lowered his voice, saying, ¡°They say that ces that are ticklish are sensitive spots¡¡±
What did he mean by ¡®sensitive spots¡¯¡
Mu Xiaoxiao understood instantly, and the tips of her ears reddened.
Why was he telling her such things!
¡°Just massage my shoulders ¡ª don¡¯t touch my waist.¡± She hurriedly covered up her embarrassment and stopped his naughtiness.
However, he only said, ¡°No way. If you want a massage, we¡¯re going to do a full massage. This is my service ethic.¡±
What the heck was a service ethic!
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry.
After that, the particr demon¡¯s naughty hand touched her waist again. He wasn¡¯t pressing but tickling it.
¡°Hahahaha¡ I can¡¯t take it anymore¡ Please don¡¯t touch me there anymore! Hahahaha¡ Yin Shaojie! Stop it¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had now realized that this jerk was doing this deliberately.
It was so ticklish that she really couldn¡¯t take it. She twisted around but was unable to avoid his attack, finally flipped over.
¡°Yin Shaojie, you ¡ª ¡±
She had wanted to scold him, but just as she turned over, his hands cupped the sides of her face. They looked like they were in a kabedon, facing each other.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s dark pupils studied her silently.
The air rippled with an indescribable suggestiveness.

W-What was he trying to do?
Mu Xiaoxiao swallowed nervously, her heart rate increasing.
Their posture with this atmosphere.
Could it be that¡ He wanted to kiss her?
¡°G-Get up! Why are you pinning me down? I don¡¯t need your massage anymore, how¡¯s that?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stammered, trying to escape from this suggestive moment.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s obsidian eyes narrowed. A devilish idea popped into his head as he studied her anxious expression.
He really wanted to find out if she knew about him stealing a kiss from her that time.
Thus, he smirked in a devilishly charming manner and chuckled, ¡°If I say that I really want to kiss you right now, what would you do?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. ¡°W-What?¡±
Her eyes widened, and she looked even more anxious.
H-He said that he wanted to kiss her?!
Hey!
Wasn¡¯t this jerk going a bit overboard?
It was one thing to steal a kiss in secret, but now he also wanted to kiss her so brazenly?
No way! Of course not!
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face reddened with shyness as she thought about this.
She rejected him coyly, saying, ¡°Why should I let you kiss me just because you want to? No, I¡¯m not letting you do that!¡±
Yin Shaojie seemed to have already predicted this and smiled sinisterly. Suddenly, he grabbed her wrists and held them down, lowering his head a few centimeters more.
His masculine aura was right in her face.
¡°What if I insist on it?¡± He lowered his voice deliberately, sounding sexy as h*ll.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt that her heart was about to stop!
¡°You¡ Stop it! Let go, I want to get up¡¡±
She struggled and tried to twist out from his grasp forcefully.
Unexpectedly, Yin Shaojie¡¯s hands lost control. Caught off guard, he fell forward, and as both of them were facing each other, his lipsnded directly onto hers.
The pairs lips were stered together.
Yin Shaojie was a little astonished.
He had only wanted to scare this girl a little and had had no intention of really kissing her.
However, now that he felt her soft lips on his, he became uncontrobly whimsical.
Since the ident had already happened, he should take advantage of it and deal with the consequencester¡
However, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly came to her senses and pushed him away violently. She snaked out from under his body and made a mad dash towards the bedroom, mming the door shut.
¡°Hey! Mu Xiaoxiao!¡± he shouted after her. Unable to get his heart¡¯s desire, his chest felt strangely empty.
Couldn¡¯t she wait for him to finish devouring her lips before she escaped?
Sh*t!
Yin Shaojie cursed and punched the sofa.
If he had known this would have happened, he wouldn¡¯t have teased her. He had never imagined this situation.
His dark eyes looked to the direction where she had escaped. In the end, he got up from the sofa and walked towards the bedroom.
Yin Shaojie stood outside the bedroom door and knocked on it.
Before he could even speak, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s voice came through the door. ¡°Yin Shaojie, you pervert! Go away! I don¡¯t want to see you ever again!¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression fell.
Was she really angry now?
It was on ident!
¡°That ident was your fault, okay? If you hadn¡¯t pushed my hands away¡¡± He wouldn¡¯t have fallen over.
¡°STOP TALKING!! AHHHHHHHHH!!¡±
In the bedroom, Mu Xiaoxiao was covering her ears while screaming at the top of her lungs. Her face was so red that it looked like it was about to start burning. She sat with her back to the door, afraid that he would barge in.
Her heart was thumping wildly. It had never done so before!
She thought about their moment earlier.
That moment their eyes met when both their lips were pressed together¡
She realized that she seemed to feel something about him¡

Both parties on both sides of the door were pensive.
Seeing that she really wasn¡¯t going to open the door, Yin Shaojie pped it helplessly and said, ¡°When are you going to calm down? I don¡¯t want to sleep on the sofa again tonight¡¡±
It had already been ufortable enough for him to sleep on the sofa the previous night.
Even though the suite at the hot spring vi was not bad, the sofa couldn¡¯t bepared to his own bed.
Also, he really hated sleeping on the sofa!
He really wanted a good rest now, which meant not sleeping on the sofa anymore.
All would have been good if he hadn¡¯t mentioned the sofa. However, since she did, Mu Xiaoxiao called out from the room, ¡°Don¡¯t you daree in! Sleep on the sofa then! Or.. Or, you can just sleep outside!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao instantly regretted her words as soon as she said them.
What if Yin Shaojie really went out to sleep in a hotel?
However, words, like water that had been spilled, could not be taken back.
Despite her distress, Mu Xiaoxiao was too embarrassed to withdraw her remark.
She turned around and nted her face against the door, listening for sounds from outside.
Her heart hung in the bnce, afraid to hear the sound of Yin Shaojie going out the door.
Luckily, she only heard Yin Shaojie whisper outside the door, ¡°There¡¯s nothing I can do about you, huh¡¡±.
He then stopped pping the door and went over to the sofa toy down.
He pulled out the pillow under his waist and found that it was the one she had used earlier. He held it near his nose and took a sniff. It had a hint of her fragrance.
Yin Shaojie hugged the pillow to his chest. I shall pretend that this is her, for now.
Ever since the both of them started living together, he had gotten used to sleeping with her. He was used to seeing her fluffy head against his chest every morning when he woke up.
Now that he was sleeping alone, the area around his chest felt empty. It felt strange.
Yin Shaojie eyed the door to the bedroom once more, his gaze indescribably longing.
He ced his arm on top of the pillow and sighed.
In the room.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat stered against the door for a long while. Not hearing any signs of Yin Shaojie going out, the burden in her heart lifted.
Sitting on the floor, she realized that the sky had already darkened, bathing the room in darkness.
She stood up hurriedly and turned on the lights.
She looked around therge room. It looked gigantic and empty with only her in it.
She had never felt such a sensation before!
Could it be because Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t in the room?
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the time. It was only past seven o¡¯clock; it was too early for sleeping.
Oh yeah, how was she going to showerter?
This was indeed a dilemma¡
Time flew by.
It was now eleven o¡¯clock at night.
Mu Xiaoxiao opened the door discreetly. She peeked out from behind the door before sticking her head out.
There was no one in the living room.
She then looked towards the study room.
Yeah, the lights were on. Yin Shaojie should be in there.
Thus, she slipped out quickly and ran into the bathroom to shower.
However, afraid that Yin Shaojie would take this opportunity to open the bedroom door, she didn¡¯t dare to take too long. She would have to dash back into the bedroom to sleep.
After her shower, she ran back to the bedroom and mmed the door shut.
The living room looked its usual state as though nothing had happened.
However, the door to the study opened.
Yin Shaojie emerged, carrying his iPad. He nced at the door to the bedroom and smiled, shaking his head.
He then walked over to the sofa andid down.
Outside the window, a few streaks of lightning suddenly shed past. Gradually, rain started to pour.
d in her pajamas, Mu Xiaoxiao sat with her legs up on the bed in the room. She stared nkly at the weather outside the window as it changed from a little drizzle into a downpour.
The torrent of rain seemed to be cleansing the entire world.

The asional thunderp and the sound of the falling rain interwove to create a soft song.
Actually, Mu Xiaoxiao liked the sound of the rain as it made her feel really calm.
However, right now she wasn¡¯t calm at all!
There was some resentment in her eyes as she gazed at the firmly shut door.
She had thought that she hadn¡¯t wanted Yin Shaojie shamelessly barging into the room to beg to sleep there while she was showering.
However, even though he really didn¡¯t do it, she felt a little strange.
Wasn¡¯t he acting out of the ordinary?
With his usual bullying and shameless personality, how could he have given up such a golden opportunity?
She had taken at least ten minutes to shower ¡ª he could have totally used that time to slip back into the room!
However, he hadn¡¯t¡
This was so frustrating!
Mu Xiaoxiao turned off the light as usual and pulled up the covers in preparation for sleep.
However, sleep eluded her.
She tossed and turned in bed countless times before sitting up suddenly. Grabbing her phone by the nightstand, she saw that it was now past midnight.
The rain continued to pour outside with intermittent shes of lightning across the dark sky.
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed, her gaze returning to the door once more.
Yin Shaojie¡ Would he sleep well on the sofa?
She remembered how he had looked this morning.
He hadn¡¯t slept well the night before. If he didn¡¯t get a good rest tonight, wouldn¡¯t that be like rubbing salt on a wound?
Mu Xiaoxiao felt even more guilty as she worried about him uncontrobly.
She had experienced a bad night¡¯s rest before. It had felt terrible, and she had been in bad spirits the entire day.
Tomorrow was Monday, a school day.
She was really worried over how bad he would feel all day the next day.
Mu Xiaoxiao cupped her face and told herself, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, Mu Xiaoxiao, what¡¯s wrong with you? You were able to harden your heart against him previously. It¡¯s only sleeping on the sofa ¡ª what¡¯s the big deal! Why are you regretting this now¡¡±
She didn¡¯t know when she started to have a change of heart.
Another sh of thunder streaked across the night sky outside the window.
In the living room.
A petite little figure emerged from the bedroom, twisting her hands as she walked up to the sofa.
As though he sensed something, Yin Shaojie, who wasying on the sofa, opened his eyes.
With the faint light from outside, he saw Mu Xiaoxiao hugging a pillow and looking strangely at him in the darkness.
Surprised, he sat up and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
Was she trying to scare the heck out of him bying over to the sofa and standing by him?
Mu Xiaoxiao puffed out her cheeks. She had been startled by the sudden opening of his eyes and just remembered what she wanted to do.
Lowering her head, she mumbled, ¡°I-I¡¯m scared¡¡±
¡°What did you say?¡± Her speech was too muffled, and with the noise of the rain, Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t hear what she had said.
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed displeased as she red at him before saying loudly, ¡°I¡¯m scared of the thunder! C-Can youe in and¡ sleep with me?¡±
Yin Shaojie was dumbfounded and thought that he had heard incorrectly.
¡°Did you say that¡ you¡¯re scared of thunder?¡±
Was this girl not lying tantly?
He had grown up together with her, and they had slept together often as kids. Wouldn¡¯t he be perfectly aware of whether she was really scared of thunder?
Luckily, the darkness shielded him from seeing Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s embarrassed expression. She huffed as she said, ¡°So what if I¡¯m scared of thunder? Can¡¯t I be?¡±
¡°Yes, yes, yes of course! Whatever my wifey says is absolutely right!¡± Yin Shaojie smiled as he said.

Upon hearing him address her as wifey, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ears reddened.
She turned around to leave, but her leg hit the coffee table and made a noise in the dark.
¡°Be careful,¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s pleasing voice rang out from behind her. Rising from the sofa, he walked towards her, and catching her off guard, he picked her up by her waist.
¡°Oi! What are you doing!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was startled.
¡°You¡¯re so clumsy; I¡¯m worried that you¡¯ll bump into something again. Wrap your arms around my neck,¡± hemanded. His muscr arms held her tightly as he walked towards the bedroom.
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little shy, she still wrapped her arms around his neck as instructed so that she wouldn¡¯t fall over.
Yin Shaojie looked down at her andughed, seeming to remember something.
She could feel his chest vibrate.
She was puzzled. ¡°What¡¯re youughing about?¡±
Yin Shaojie replied, ¡°Doesn¡¯t this seem like I¡¯m carrying my bride into the bridal chamber?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart started to beat faster upon hearing this.
Carrying his bride into the bridal chamber¡
¡°Can you stop being so X-rated!¡± she said, displeased.
¡°You call this X-rated?¡± Yin Shaojie chortled evilly. ¡°This isn¡¯t even dirty at all, okay? Do you want to experience what really is¡ X-rated?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ears were burning. ¡°I don¡¯t want to know! Don¡¯t you dare say it, you hear!¡±
Yin Shaojie looked crestfallen. ¡°You really don¡¯t want to know?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t wanna don¡¯t wanna don¡¯t wanna ¡ª ¡±
The pair arrived at the bedroom amid Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s protests.
Yin Shaojie ced Mu Xiaoxiao on the bed. Once she touched the bed, she jumped to a corner of the bed as though she was afraid that he would do something to her. She lifted the covers and wrapped herself in them.
¡°It¡¯ste! Hurry up and sleep! We¡¯ve got school tomorrow!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shouted before burying her head beneath the covers, her petite frame wrapped under theyers.
Yin Shaojie sighed deeply once heid down on the bed.
The bed was sofortable!
To sleep on the sofa was a very miserable experience. At least, it was an extremely miserable experience to him.
It was indeed gettingte, and Yin Shaojie decided not to tease her further. Seeing how she had covered herself up made him worry that she would feel too stuffy.
Thus, he tugged on the nkets and asked, ¡°Why are you sleeping like that? Come out!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little stuffy and automatically disengaged from the covers.
Before she could say anything, Yin Shaojie patted the nkets and said, ¡°Go to sleep, goodnight.¡±
He closed his eyes andy on his side, facing her as per habit.
Mu Xiaoxiao shifted into afortable position and faced him as well.
The patter of rain outside seemed to soften, and there seemed to be no more thunder.
She stared straight at his handsome face and zoned out, moving closer to him unconsciously.
Even though Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes were closed, he seemed to know that she was staring at him. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you sleeping yet?¡± he whispered.
He wanted to open his eyes, but Mu Xiaoxiao said quickly, ¡°Don¡¯t open your eyes!¡±
In a rare urrence, Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes remained shut. ¡°Why are you acting so tyrannically?¡± he chuckled as he said.
¡°I¡¯m not.¡±
¡°Are you sure? You even called me tyrannical before, so what about you now?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed and said, ¡°That¡¯s because you spread it to me!¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t know how to rebut her retort.
He said, ¡°Go sleep. It¡¯s reallyte; if not, you¡¯ll have no energy tomorrow.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. She rubbed her head against the pillow and finally closed her eyes.
In the dark and heads almost touching, the pair fell asleep.

Chapter 262: How Did He Confess to You?
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
A few dayster.
At Shangde High.
When the results of the monthly examination were announced, Lu Yichen¡¯s results astounded the entire school once again, showing the rest what being a true top student meant.
The school had initially been worried that he wouldn¡¯t be able to attend a mathematicspetition afterward, but luckily, his hand was healing well and was almost fully recovered.
Today was the day that he would head to City B for the mathematicspetition.
The girls who had a crush on Lu Yichen gathered at the school gates to send him off upon getting wind that he was going to thepetition.
¡°All the best, Senior Yichen! Remember to take care of yourself; if your hand hurts, don¡¯t force it.¡±
¡°All the best, Senior Yichen! We believe you¡¯ll get first prize!¡±
We¡¯ll be waiting in school to wee your victory!¡±
The cheers of encouragement repeated continuously.
Mu Xiaoxiao was pulled forward by Han Qiqing. It took an effort to squeeze to the front from the middle of the crowd.
¡°Lu Yichen!¡± Seeing that he was about to enter the car, Han Qiqing shouted frantically.
Lu Yichen already had a foot in the vehicle, but hearing her voice and seeing Mu Xiaoxiao as he turned around, he got off the car.
He walked towards her and smiled lightly. ¡°Why are you here?¡±
The girls around them started to shriek at the sight of his little smile.
¡°Oh my god, Senior Yichen smiled! He smiled! He¡¯s so handsome!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her nose and nced askance at Han Qiqing. It wouldn¡¯t be appropriate to say that she had been dragged over by Han Qiqing.
She smiled at Lu Yichen as she said, ¡°I heard that you were going off for apetition, and I¡¯m here to cheer you on.¡±
Actually, she felt that there wasn¡¯t any need to cheer for him, for it should be a piece of cake to win this mathematicspetition with his academic ability.
She believed in him wholeheartedly.
Han Qiqing waited for Mu Xiaoxiao to finish her speech before offering the bag in her hands in front of Lu Yichen. She smiled as she said, ¡°This is something that I¡ and Mu Xiaoxiao made together! Eat this while you¡¯re traveling; we made a lot, so you can share it with the other students and teachers.¡±
Lu Yichen looked towards Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°Did you really make this?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t expose Qiqing¡¯s lie and thus replied, ¡°Yeah!¡±
¡°Thank you,¡± Lu Yichen replied before finally taking the bag willingly.
Even though Han Qiqing knew that he had epted the bag because of Xiaoxiao, she was still gratified by him carrying the food that she had made and the thought that he would eat itter.
¡°We¡¯ll not hold you up anymore then. All the best for yourpetition!¡± With those words, Han Qiqing pulled Mu Xiaoxiao back into the crowd.
Lu Yichen gave them a wave before entering the vehicle.
The girls around them shrieked again as though his wave was meant for them and waved back hastily.
¡°Senior Yichen! All the best! We¡¯ll be waiting for your return!¡±
The vehicle left Shangde High.
Han Qiqing had been staring at the rear of the vehicle and collected her gaze reluctantly.
Mu Xiaoxiao reached out and waved a hand in front of her face. She smiled as she teased, ¡°Do you mind not being so lovestruck?¡±
Han Qiqing finally turned to look at her. ¡°I don¡¯t even say anything when you and Yin Shaojie whisper sweet nothings to each other and engage in public disys of affection!¡±
¡°Since when do we do that!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said.
¡°Still denying it?¡± Han Qiqing hugged her arm and wagged her brows suggestively. In a whisper, she asked, ¡°Oh yeah, how did Yin Shaojie confess to you? I¡¯m dying of curiosity! With such a tyrannical personality, did he also sound bullying when he confessed?¡±

Chapter 263: He Liked Her, Right?
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao looked a little awkward. ¡°He didn¡¯t confess to me¡¡±
She felt a little down as she thought about this.
That jerk had stolen a kiss secretly but hadn¡¯t told her in no uncertain terms that he liked her.
He had been teasing her a little now and then recently, and the atmosphere between them had been quite charged. However, neither of them had gone beyond that.
Han Qiqing eximed in surprise, ¡°He hasn¡¯t confessed? Is it because you¡¯re already engaged? Is that why he thinks it¡¯s okay to skip this step? How could he!¡±
¡°No, that¡¯s not it!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was a little frustrated. She didn¡¯t know how to exin her tricky rtionship with Yin Shaojie.
¡°Anyway, our rtionship isn¡¯t like what you think. It¡¯s still like before ¡ª we¡¯re each other¡¯s really good friends.¡±
Really good childhood friends.
Not a romantic couple.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little resentful as she thought about this.
She really didn¡¯t know what Yin Shaojie was thinking.
He had stolen a secret kiss from her, which meant that he really liked her, right?
But why did he¡
Upon hearing her words, Han Qiqing¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. Tugging at her violently, she asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you¡ dating? People who aren¡¯t blind can clearly tell that you¡¯re dating!¡±
¡°We aren¡¯t, really¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said a little crestfallenly.
Han Qiqing rubbed her chin and said, ¡°At first, I¡¯d thought that you still hadn¡¯t realized it, but you told me in person at the hot spring vi that you liked him, which means that you¡¯re not that dense regarding romantic feelings.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. ¡°I-I told you that I liked him?! When did that happen!¡±
Han Qiqing was puzzled as well and replied, ¡°Didn¡¯t I ask you? It was that time at the hot spring vi where we took a soak in the hot spring. I asked, and you replied that you liked him. Don¡¯t you remember?¡±
That was impossible, right? It had just happenedst weekend. How could she have forgotten?
Han Qiqing pped her palms together as realization dawned on her. ¡°I know! Weren¡¯t you drunk on that day? Maybe your memories cked out after you woke up from being drunk and that¡¯s why you can¡¯t remember it.¡±
¡°That¡¯s possible¡ But I don¡¯t think I¡¯d say that I liked him, though.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little confused.
She had only realized that she had felt differently towards Yin Shaojie after that day.
She hadn¡¯t known that Yin Shaojie had stolen a secret kiss before she got drunk while in the hot spring. At that time, she was still ignorant of her feelings. How could she have said that she liked Yin Shaojie then?
¡°I get it now.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. ¡°I think I did say that, but it had a different meaning from what you thought it was.¡±
Now thoroughly confused by her, Han Qiqing asked, ¡°How about now, then? Do you like Yin Shaojie, or not?¡±
¡°I¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was shy. She felt that it was a little weird to confess to liking Yin Shaojie so suddenly.
¡°Hurry up and tell me! I¡¯m going to die from the suspense!¡± Han Qiqing shook her arm.
Blushing, Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°About him, I-I¡¡±
Just then, a few girls suddenly blocked their path.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, we have something to tell you!¡±
At first, Mu Xiaoxiao thought that they hade looking for trouble, but upon taking a closer look, she realized that they were not behaving arrogantly but a little cowardly.
The girls who spoke earlier also seemed as though they had to summon their courage to do so.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± she looked at them and asked uprehendingly.

Chapter 264: Please Stop Seducing Him
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Not expecting her attitude to be so pleasant, the girls were stunned for a moment before someone said, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, could you please stop seducing Senior Yichen?¡±
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao pointed at herself confusedly. ¡°Did you say that I¡¯m¡ seducing him?¡±
What nonsense was this!
Hearing this, Han Qiqing frowned as well. She roared at the obviously Year One girls, ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡±
The few girls retreated in fright. ¡°M-Miss Qiqing¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao knew that they had been mistaken, but wanting to understand what was happening, stopped Han Qiqing. ¡°Why do you think that I¡¯m seducing Lu Yichen?¡± she asked.
The entire school was well-aware that Mu Xiaoxiao was under the protection of Young Master Jie and that she was being pampered aggressively.
These girls were actually afraid to provoke Mu Xiaoxiao but summoned up their courage because they were unable to stand it any longer.
Upon hearing Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s question, the girls looked at each other. One of them said, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, don¡¯t you already have Young Master Jie already? Can you please let go of Senior Yichen? He¡¯s not someone you should toy with.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Their answer was incongruous to her question!
Couldn¡¯t they just answer directly what she had asked?
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little angered now. Pointing at them, she said, ¡°I¡¯ll ask you again! What the heck made you misunderstand that I¡¯m seducing him?¡±
Since when had she seduced Lu Yichen!
A girl summoned up the courage to say, ¡°Did Senior Yichen not hurt his arm that time he tried to save you?¡±
Also, Senior Yichen treated her specially.
If she hadn¡¯t seduced Senior Yichen, how could he, a normally reserved person, have smiled at her so gently?
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. ¡°That¡¯s it?¡±
What kind of sh*tty reasoning was this!
A teary-eyed girl pleaded with Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, we know that we can¡¯t win against you, but I beg of you, alright? Please stop seducing Senior Yichen already, please let him off!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
What the f*ck was happening?
Hey! Wasn¡¯t it a little overboard to use her of something so flippantly?
Looking at these cowering girls, however, she realized that they had summoned up a lot of courage to negotiate with her out of their infatuation for the person they liked.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt her urge to scold them disappear.
She looked at them, not knowing tough or cry. ¡°So, it seems to you that just because I interacted with him, it means that I¡¯m seducing him? Do you think that there can be no tonic feelings between boys and girls then? Can you not be so narrow-minded?¡± she said.
She had many friends who were guys in America too. Did that mean she also seduced them then?
She was dumbfounded at their logic!
Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t stand it any longer. Looking at the girls, she said, ¡°Lu Yichen saved Xiaoxiao previously because he thought of her as a friend! Also, is it wrong that he stepped forward bravely to help her in such a dangerous situation? Or were you hoping that he ignore Xiaoxiao and watch as a girl near him got into an ident? Would you have liked him if he were such a person?¡±
The girls were stunned by their words and looked to be in deep thought.
After a while, a girl looked towards Mu Xiaoxiao. Trembling in fear, she retorted, ¡°How can purely tonic feelings exist between boys and girls!¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao sneered at them coldly and said, ¡°Why can¡¯t tonic feelings exist between girls and guys? Don¡¯t you have a friend who¡¯s a guy that you¡¯re closer to? Even if you don¡¯t, how can you make such a sweeping statement!¡±
¡°It¡¯s not like that¡¡± The girls started to panic.
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled. She pointed at Han Qiqing and said, ¡°What is it then? Does Qiqing have romantic feelings for Yin Shaojie and Song Shijun just because she interacts with them frequently then?¡±
Han Qiqing made a face of disgust. ¡°No thanks!¡± she said.
Mu Xiaoxiao continued, ¡°There are some girls with more guy friends. Do you mean that they have romantic feelings for all of them? Wouldn¡¯t that be tiring?¡±
The girls were rendered speechless by her words and paled. Anxious, they asked crudely, ¡°What about you and Young Master Jie! Your rtionship isn¡¯t so pure, it is?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes.
She regretted trying to exin things so thoroughly to these girls.
So what if her rtionship with Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t purely tonic? Could that sole evidence prove that tonic feelings between girls and boys were impossible then?
Mu Xiaoxiao was too tired to argue with her anymore.
The girl became pleased as she saw that Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t answering anymore. She continued, ¡°Tell us! Your rtionship with Young Master Jie isn¡¯t purely tonic, is it? Your rtionship is¡¡±
¡°Our rtionship is the close familial sort!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao retorted forcefully.
She wasn¡¯t about to tell other people what her rtionship with Yin Shaojie was.
Moreover, she was telling the truth. Her rtionship with Yin Shaojie was originally like that anyway.
However, her words held a different meaning to other people.
¡°What are you doing here?¡± A familiar voice rang out suddenly.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing were stunned and turned around.
Because the bunch of girls were facing them, they were quicker in recognizing who the speaker was and jumped in fright. ¡°Y-Young Master Jie!¡±
It seemed true that people whom you talked about behind their backs would appear immediately!
The girls were, of course, cognizant of Young Master Jie¡¯s temper and thus started to tremble in fear. They were highly afraid that Young Master Jie would mete out the punishment of their lives if he happened to be upset.
However, Yin Shaojie ignored the girls, treating them as though they were air.
He walked over to Mu Xiaoxiao. Seeing that she was staring intently at him with a weird expression on her face, he asked, ¡°What¡¯s up with you? Did someone paralyze you?¡±
Coming to her sense, Mu Xiaoxiao stuttered, ¡°You¡ You¡¡±
Did he hear thest sentence that she had said?
She didn¡¯t know the reason, but she began to panic.
She was afraid that Yin Shaojie had heard what shest said and would misunderstand that she only had familial and absolutely no romantic feelings for him at all.
Mu Xiaoxiao was in a panic to exin herself but didn¡¯t know how to do so.
However, a look at Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression showed that he wasn¡¯t angry at all. What was he thinking about then?
Han Qiqing asked, ¡°Yin Shaojie, aren¡¯t you supposed to be having a Student Union¡¯s meeting? Why are you here?¡±
Yin Shaojie replied, ¡°The meeting¡¯s over. I¡¯ve got stuff to attend to outside.¡±
Upon hearing that he was going to leave school, Mu Xiaoxiao asked hastily, ¡°Where are you going? Are you going to eat lunch with m¡ª er, us in the afternoon then?¡±

¡°Yeah.¡± Yin Shaojie replied calmly as he nced sternly at the girls. ¡°Why are these girls crowding around you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao held his hand as she did not want to argue with the girls, and she said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±
¡°Really, nothing?¡± Yin Shaojie squinted his eyes as he looked at her as if he was checking if she was being bullied.
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to understand from his expression what he meant, and she said resentfully, ¡°Hey! Don¡¯t underestimate me, okay? Am I that weak to be bullied all the time? Do I need you toe and save me every time?
The previous two asions were exceptions, okay!
Then again, these girls looked soft and weak. How could she be bullied by them? What a joke!
Yin Shaojie reached out his hand to rub her hair. His slender lips turned to a smile as he said, ¡°Good then. I wouldn¡¯t dare to underestimate you. Okay, I really have to go now.¡±
¡°Where are you going, exactly?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao could not help but ask.
Actually, she had hardly asked him where he was going to do what in the past. However, ever since she had realized that her feelings for him had changed, she seemed to have started caring about every aspect of him.
Yin Shaojie smiled mysteriously, purposefully putting his finger on his lips as he said, ¡°It¡¯s a secret. I won¡¯t tell you.¡±
¡°Hey!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pouted.
The more he refused to talk, the more she wanted to know!
This bastard! Will he die if he just tells me?
Yin Shaojie looked at the time, pulling on her hand that was holding his as he said, ¡°Okay, I really have to go. I¡¯ll be off now. Bye.¡±
He waved to her dashingly, and he left.
Mu Xiaoxiao watched as he left. Thinking that he was hiding something from her, she could not help but feel a little down.
Seeing Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s telling facial expression, Han Qiqing walked to her to hug her shoulders.
¡°My dear, I already know the answer to the question earlier.¡±
It was clear that the girl liked Yin Shaojie. She had already fallen deeply for him.
However, Han Qiqing felt that Yin Shaojie¡¯s attitude was harder to read.
Though it was obvious that Yin Shaojie cared a lot about Xiaoxiao as he usually pampered and yielded to Xiaoxiao, did he understand his own feelings?
Only Yin Shaojie had the answer to that question.
Mu Xiaoxiao was still worried whether Yin Shaojie would misunderstand what was said earlier, so she asked Han Qiqing.
Han Qiqing pondered about it as she said, ¡°About that¡ It is possible that he may misunderstand. That will depend on how he thinks.¡±
Upon hearing of the possibility that he could misunderstand, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face drooped.
Han Qiqing rubbed her chin and said, ¡°Oh yeah, a mutual friend of ours will be having a birthday celebration at the bar. You shoulde. Then, we¡¯ll find a way to get Yin Shaojie drunk and make him talk.
He-he, this trick practically works like a charm!
When the time came, they could also get him to talk about how he felt toward Xiaoxiao.
Get him drunk?
The thought reminded Mu Xiaoxiao of how he had stolen a kiss from her. If he became drunk, could he reveal his true colors and make her¡
The girl¡¯s face was suffused with mild redness.
¡°But, he¡¯s very good at drinking. How are we going to get him drunk?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
Han Qiqing chuckled and said, ¡°That¡¯s easy. Let me handle it!¡±
Could they really get Yin Shaojie drunk? Mu Xiaoxiao was worried.
However, seeing Han Qiqing¡¯s evil smile, it induced a little demon within Mu Xiaoxiao.
She had never seen how Yin Shaojie looked while drunk!

Chapter 267: Why Don¡¯t You Reveal Your Identity
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
At night.
Royal Jazz Bar.
The night¡¯s birthday boy was a famous family¡¯s young son. He had some dealings with Yin Shaojie normally, so he used the birthday celebration as a chance to invite Yin Shaojie and others like him.
Those people did not recognize Mu Xiaoxiao, and they naturally did not know that she was the legendary Mu family¡¯s wealthy young missy.
But since Mu Xiaoxiao had arrived with Yin Shaojie, the wealthy boys thought it was natural that Mu Xiaoxiao was Yin Shaojie¡¯s new girlfriend.
However, some of them had noticed that the Han family¡¯s wealthy missy, Qiqing, actually seemed pretty close to Mu Xiaoxiao.
That night, in order to parade his wealth, the wealthy birthday boy booked the whole lounge.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt that the music was too loud, so she pulled Han Qiqing to a corner to have a seat.
She frowned as she looked at Han Qiqing and asked, ¡°Are all bars like this? I¡¯m going deaf. Can¡¯t they turn down the volume?¡±
Han Qiqing was moving to the beat. She practically had to put her ears beside Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mouth in order to hear her.
¡°You¡¯ll get used to it gradually. It¡¯s not that loud.¡±
¡°Oh my god. You don¡¯t find this loud?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, picking her ears as the chaotic music droned in her brain.
It was enough that the music was loud. There were also many eyes casting meaningful nces at her, which made her feel ufortable.
At this moment, Song Shijun held a wine cup as he walked over and sat right beside Mu Xiaoxiao.
He said gleefully, ¡°Great Mistress Mu! Do you know that your appearance has caught the attention of many people? You¡¯re snatching all of the limelight from the birthday boy! How do you think they would react if I told them your real identity?¡±
This suggestion made one¡¯s blood boil!
Though those people had guessed that Mu Xiaoxiao was Yin Shaojie¡¯s new girlfriend, they were curious why Mu Xiaoxiao was so close to Yin Shaojie¡¯s group.
After all, when Yin Shaojie¡¯s, Han Qiqing¡¯s and Song Shijun¡¯s names were put together, they make up the who¡¯s who among the wealthy elites. Peoplepeted to win favors with them.
The circle of rich elites was simply a collection of many smaller circles.
And Yin Shaojie¡¯s little circle was the one that everyone wanted to join.
Everyone knew that Yin Shaojie had many girlfriends, and it was normal for him to have a new one every few days. However, no one had ever seen any of Yin Shaojie¡¯s girlfriends being so close with Han Qiqing and the gang.
Thus, it was a wonder what exactly was so special about Mu Xiaoxiao?
So it was no wonder that Song Shijun would joke about her.
It was true after all. Though these people did not know Mu Xiaoxiao, some of them had at least heard about the legendary Mu family.
If they were told that Mu Xiaoxiao was Mu family¡¯s wealthy young missy, then the situation would be very interesting.
Mu Xiaoxiao certainly knew that Song Shijun was only kidding, and because he would not really reveal her identity, she did not reply to him.
Her head was starting to hurt, as there seemed to be countless bees buzzing at her ears, annoying her.
Puzzled, Han Qiqing put a hand over Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s shoulders and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, Xiaoxiao. Why don¡¯t you reveal your identity? If everyone knows who you are, no one would dare to bother you!¡±
Just like how the other girls would all call her Miss Qiqing in school, no one would dare to be rude to her.

Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at her and said, ¡°So do I have to wear a namete with my identity as I parade around the whole school?¡±
Han Qiqing smiled embarrassedly. ¡°You don¡¯t have to go that far¡¡±
¡°I don¡¯t like that.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao sighed as she did not know how to exin her way of thinking to Qiqing.
Everyone had their own preferred way of life. She liked it the way it was right now, simple and joyful, where people around her saw her not for her status but for who she was.
Just like in Yu Zhe¡¯s case where he met her without knowing her status, he would not have be her friend or even dared to get close to her had he known her status.
Song Shijun, who was beside them, agreed with her, saying, ¡°I think Xiaoxiao is fine like this. She doesn¡¯t have to reveal her status to everyone. Keeping a low profile is good too!¡±¡®
Han Qiqing red at him. Hindsight critic!
Mu Xiaoxiao kneaded the space between her eyebrows as she stood up from the sofa and said, ¡°I can¡¯t take it anymore. My head hurts. I¡¯m going out for a while.¡±
¡°Xiaoxiao, let me go with you,¡± Han Qiqing said.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, ¡°No need. I¡¯ll just be by the entrance. I won¡¯t be going anywhere else. I¡¯ll be fine.¡±
¡°Should we inform Yin Shaojie? Speaking of him, why has he been inside the booth for so long?¡±
Han Qiqing was still worried about her, and she wanted to follow Mu Xiaoxiao.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao insisted that she wanted to be alone for a while.
Then, Qiqing recalled that the crew in this bar was quite tough, and no one dared to cause trouble here. Thus, she thought that Xiaoxiao should be safe at the entrance, so she agreed to let her go alone.
A few minutester.
Shortly after Mu Xiaoxiao had left, Yin Shaojie came out from the booth.
Seeing that Mu Xiaoxiao was not where she was sitting earlier, he looked to Han Qiqing and asked, ¡°Where is she?¡±
Just as Han Qiqing was about to get up and find some entertainment, he pulled her back.
She pointed at the entrance and said, ¡°Xiaoxiaoined that it was too noisy here, so she¡¯s getting some air.
Yin Shaojie frowned and asked, ¡°And you just let her go out alone?¡±
Han Qiqing sensed that Great Master Yin seemed to have gotten angry, and she said submissively, ¡°She said that she wanted to be alone¡ and she¡¯ll just at the bar¡¯s entrance, so she¡¯ll be fine.¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression was slightly dark as he practically howled, ¡°She said that she wanted to alone, and you just let her be? Is there anywhere in this world that is guaranteed to be totally safe?¡±
Ever since Mu Xiaoxiao had been nearly stabbed, he had ced great importance on her safety.
He did not even hesitate to attend lessons with her at Year One¡¯s ss S because he was afraid the perpetrator from behind the scenes would target her again.
Though he had already driven the Bai family to bankruptcy and Bai Meijiao out of City A, he had stayed uneasy, fearing that Mu Xiaoxiao would get into mishap again.
She had been lucky in the previous incident when the Lu fellow had protected her. What would happen if there was a day when she had no one to protect her?
Just the thought of this made Yin Shaojie restless as he walked out quickly.
¡
As Mu Xiaoxiao walked out of the bar, the noisy music quickly faded behind her.
The pulsing headache she had was subsiding.
Moreover, the atmosphere inside the bar was foul as there were many people who were drinking and smoking, heavily polluting the air.
Stepping outside, the air had felt much better.
Before she could take a few steps outside, she was nearly knocked down by someone rushing by. Luckily, Mu Xiaoxiao was steady on her feet.
The girl anxiously lowered her head and apologized, ¡°Sorry, sorry!¡±
With that, she fled frantically as if she was being chased by a ghost.

The next moment, an arm suddenly appeared and grabbed hold of the girl¡¯s arm.
The girl shrieked, ¡°Help!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao jumped from fright, and she retreated a few steps.
Then she started to see the situation clearly. There was a middle-aged man pulling roughly on the girl.
The man cursed, ¡°Damned wretch! Don¡¯t you dare run again! I¡¯m only asking you to apany someone for drinks, not to prostitute yourself! Why do you have to run! You¡¯re making me lose face!¡±
As he was speaking, his hand was pping the girl¡¯s head.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned as the scene made her feel ufortable.
The girl cried and said, ¡°No, I don¡¯t want to go¡ Help! Can anyone save me!¡±
It was clear that the girl was extremely afraid as she tried to stand her ground, refusing to be taken away by him.
The man was furious as he swung his hand and pped her. ¡°I¡¯m only asking you to do something trivial; it isn¡¯t like you¡¯ll die! You better be obedient. If not, you¡¯ll get your punishment when you get home.
Not showing any mercy, the man pped the girl¡¯s face ant with great force, and blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.
However, she was still stubbornly resisting, refusing to let him drag her away as she called to the people nearby for help.
¡°Please save me! I¡¯m begging you, save me!¡±
The man red ferociously at the people around and shouted, ¡°She is my daughter! This is our family¡¯s problem. Don¡¯t you dare intervene!¡±
Seeing such a scene, the onlookers did not dare to intervene, and they started whispering among themselves.
¡°This isn¡¯t child trafficking, is it? Haven¡¯t there been many such cases appearing on the Inte recently? They im that the girl is their family, and when no one saves her, they take her away.¡±
¡°Yeah, yeah, yeah! That is possible!¡±
¡°But, what if it really is a family problem? Look at the girl. She did not even say that she doesn¡¯t recognize the man, so they could really be father and daughter.¡±
¡°If that is really the case, then this father is too rotten! From the looks of it, he must be taking the girl to go and please someone.
Though the girl looked to be in a sorry state, one could still vaguely see in that dimly lit ce that the girl was fair and pretty.
Hearing what the others had said, Mu Xiaoxiao could not help but grow suspicious.
Could it really be a case of child trafficking?
However, even if it was not child trafficking, Mu Xiaoxiao could not bear to watch a girl being put in such a helpless situation.
Just as Mu Xiaoxiao summoned her courage, preparing to approach them, someone grabbed her hand before she could take a second step.
¡°What are you trying to do?¡± The sound of Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice reached her ears.
¡°Why are you out here?¡± she asked, looking astonished.
Yin Shaojie held her hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. We¡¯re going back into the bar.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao did not move as she looked sympathetically at the scene. Then, she just happened to see the man dragging the girl away as she cried and shouted to no avail. No one dared to intervene.
She felt pity for the girl.
¡°Jie¡¡± She turned to look at Yin Shaojie, her eyes clearly begging him to do something.
Without even looking, Yin Shaojie could tell from the shrieks that something was up.
Such an event was nothing new around these ces.
He stared at Mu Xiaoxiao and said imposingly, ¡°I don¡¯t want to intervene in other people¡¯s family matters. Don¡¯t even think about it!¡±
If one were to intervene in such matters, it would not be easily resolved and could only cause endless trouble.
However, when Yin Shaojie raised his head and looked casually in that direction, he just happened to catch sight of the girl¡¯s face.
Suddenly, his heart was jolted as he released Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand, and he walked quickly toward the girl.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked bbergasted at Yin Shaojie¡¯s behavior.
Didn¡¯t he say that he was not going to intervene?
Why the sudden change?
Mu Xiaoxiao still thought that he had been moved by what she had said as she quickly chased after him with her short legs.
Then, she saw Yin Shaojie quicken his steps. He caught the man¡¯s hand just as he was going to p her, and Yin Shaojie flung it aside angrily.
Yin Shaojie was very strong because he had gone through special training since he was young, and he was also not showing any mercy.
Thus, the big man was simply thrown to the ground by a youngster.
¡°Boy! You want to meddle into my business?¡± the man sat on the floor and shouted.
Yin Shaojie did not even spare him a look as he squatted and gazed at the girl who had been dragged on the ground.
She had already lost hope, but little did she know that someone woulde to save her, so she looked amazed at the handsome youngster before her.
He looked so handsome that it was as if he was the incarnation of Apollo. His eyes were dark as ink and as pretty as the stars. One could fall into the depth of his gaze just by staring at it.
¡°You¡¡± She was stumped for words.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression seemedplicated as he looked at her and asked, ¡°Are you Xinxin?¡±
Startled, An Zhixin said, ¡°How do you know? Do you know me?¡±
She had not met him before, had she?
An unusually handsome and ssy boy like him should have left a deep impression if she had met him before.
As if he had already gotten his answer, Yin Shaojie¡¯s attractive lips turned into a smile as he said, ¡°Then, what¡¯s your full name?¡±
An Zhixin was brought to a halt by his smile. She had never seen such a good looking guy!
Staring nkly, she replied, ¡°My name is An Zhixin.¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled and said, ¡°So you are An Zhixin. I¡¯m Yin Shaojie. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m here to help you. Do you trust me?¡±
Though An Zhixin did not recognize him or even know why he would intervene when so many adults among the onlookers had not even dared to step up, as she looked into his deep and confident gaze, she could not help but nod and say, ¡°I trust you.¡±
The man had already stood up, and he rubbed his hand that was hurt from the fall as he angrily shouted at Yin Shaojie, ¡°Boy, you hurt my hand. I wantpensation!¡±
Again, Yin Shaojie was not bothered by the man. Instead, he furrowed his brows as he asked An Zhixin, ¡°Is he really your father?¡±
An Zhixin lowered her head slightly as if she was embarrassed and softly replied, ¡°Yes¡¡±
Hearing that answer, Yin Shaojie frowned.
The man was already furious. But seeing the arrogance of Yin Shaojie, he charged straight for him to beat him up.
Yin Shaojie cast a nce at him from the corner of his eyes.
Then, he stood up. Just as the man had charged up to him, Yin Shaojie immediately delivered a kick that sent him flying.
Yin Shaojie patted himself on his shirt as he sneered, ¡°Trash! What kind of father are you, pushing your daughter into prostitution?¡±
In these pleasure districts, once a girl was forced in, it would be hard for her toe out clean.
The man stood up, sping his chest in pain. Yet, he still had the nerve to shout at him, ¡°It¡¯s none of your business! She is my daughter. I raised her. She should be obedient to me! Boy, if you continue to meddle into my business, I will annihte you!¡±
¡°Annihte me?¡± Yin Shaojie smiled pompously as he said, ¡°I would like to see how you will annihte me.¡±

Seeing Yin Shaojie¡¯s arrogant attitude, the man¡¯s expression changed slightly. Initially, he had thought that he could shout out to the crowd and garner their support. However, as he looked at the onlookers around them, they seemed as if they were just there to watch a show.
An Furen had hung around these bars long enough, so he knew the mentality of these people. Thus, knowing that he would not get their support, he started to panic.
He urgently needed money, so he must not renege on the trade tonight!
At this moment, because the Royal Jazz Bar¡¯s security officer had been informed of Young Master Jie¡¯s problem, he rushed to him quickly.
The security officer stood before Yin Shaojie and shouted out respectfully, ¡°Young Master Jie, what can I help you with?¡±
Seeing the situation, An Furen¡¯s expression suddenly went nk.
He thought anxiously. Could this youngster be a scion of some wealthy family?
He looked at Yin Shaojie. The air about him is really out of the ordinary!
Also, the watch that Yin Shaojie was wearing on his wrist came from a brand where the cheapest model would cost at least a few million yuan.
Based on that, it was possible that he was not some ordinary wealthy family¡¯s scion but some super prestigious family¡¯s scion!
An Furen quickly thought of a n.
His attitude suddenly changed. Without the ruthless countenance from before, he put on a smile as he looked at her daughter before looking at Yin Shaojie, rubbing his hands as he said, ¡°You are¡ Young Master Jie, am I right? I apologize, I did not realize that you are the great Young Master Jie. Please don¡¯t be harsh on a nobody like me, alright?¡±
Yin Shaojie curled his lips contemptuously.
He had seen too many people of An Furen¡¯s character.
However, at least An Furen was able to have a clear view of the situation, which counted as a merit.
Seeing that Yin Shaojie was not talking, An Furen was afraid that he might have angered him. But on second thought, rich scions like him always had a bad temper.
Then, he put on his fawning smile as he said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°Uh¡ Does Young Master Jie take a liking to Xinxin? If that is the case¡ on ount of Young Master Jie, then, I know what I should do.¡±
Having heard that, Mu Xiaoxiao, who had been quiet the whole time, felt ufortable as she furrowed her brows.
She looked at Yin Shaojie.
She had initially been puzzled, and she had thought that Yin Shaojie would intervene because he had been moved by what she had said. Instead, he did it because he recognized the girl?
Moreover, Mu Xiaoxiao had also noticed earlier that the attitude which Yin Shaojie had toward An Zhixin was quite amiable unlike how he would usually treat other girls.
This piqued her curiosity. What exactly was Yin Shaojie¡¯s rtionship with An Zhixin?
Also, from her family background, it was unlikely that Yin Shaojie would have any dealings with them. So how did he get to know her?
A bunch of questions lingered in Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mind.
From what he said, Yin Shaojie understood that he was hinting about money, and he sneered and asked, ¡°How much do you want?¡±
An Furen had been waiting for him to say that. He rubbed his hands more vigorously as he said, ¡°Not much. This is still Xinxin¡¯s first time. So¡ 50,000 yuan then!¡±
Slowly getting on her feet as she heard that, An Zhixin¡¯s face turned pale.
Panicking, she looked at An Furen as she said, deeply hurt, ¡°Pa! The reason you lied to me and brought me here was to sell me off, right¡¡±
An Furen red at her, and he said furiously, ¡°What are you trying to say? In our present state, our family is depending on you to earn money. Or do you want to see your father die?¡±
¡°Pa¡¡± An Zhixin sobbed, looking at her father as she was about to cry.

Yin Shaojie cast a nce at An Zhixin, and with a cold expression, he said, ¡°50,000 yuan is not possible! 10,000 yuan. take it or leave it!¡±
Though 50,000 yuan meant nothing to him, he was not an idiot to be cheated so easily.
Hearing his agreement, An Furen was secretly happy, but he pretended to look unsatisfied as he said, ¡°Well¡ 10,000 yuan is too little. After all, our Xinxin is a beauty. This price is too¡¡±
Yin Shaojie turned around, preparing to leave as he did not want to listen to him anymore.
An Furen immediately panicked as he nodded and said, ¡°Okay! Okay! 10,000 yuan as you said!¡±
Initially, he could have gotten only about 2000 to 3000 yuan from letting An Zhixin entertain people. Now that he could obtain 10,000 yuan, how could he refuse?
As if he was afraid that Yin Shaojie would go back on his words, An Furen quickly added, ¡°I only want cash. Can I have the money now?¡±
As he was discussing the price, he didn¡¯t even spare An Zhixin a nce.
An Zhixin stood where she was, mournful as she watched her father haggling over the price to sell her.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her, and she could not help but feel pity for her.
As Yin Shaojie did not have so much cash on him, he instructed the security officer to get the money. Then, he tossed the pile of cash to An Furen.
An Furen picked it up and held it in his arms like a treasure as he said gleefully to An Zhixin, ¡°Xinxin, remember to tend nicely to Young Master Jie. Tomorrow, Dad will buy something good for you to eat!¡±
With that said, he left hurriedly as if he had urgent things to attend to.
The security officer from the bar said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°This man is a druggie. He must be off to buy drugs.¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Yin Shaojie nodded.
He looked at An Zhixin from top to bottom and noticed that she had some grazes on her, and he said, ¡°Let me take you to the hospital, alright?¡±
Acting cautiously, An Zhixin grasped her hand and shook her head as she said, ¡°No need. I¡¯m fine.¡±
Just when she finished speaking, her body swayed slowly before her vision went dark as she cked out.
In a panic, Yin Shaojie reached out his hand to catch her from falling.
Mu Xiaoxiao went to them frantically and asked, ¡°Is she alright?¡±
Seeing another girlying in Yin Shaojie¡¯s arms, she was slightly dismal.
Looking at Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes, Yin Shaojie suddenly turned to the chief security officer and said, ¡°Come here.¡±
Then, he handed An Zhixin over to the security officer.
He said, ¡°Take her to the hospital right away.¡±
Seeing as he might get recognized for his worth in this opportunity to work for Young Master Jie, the security officer quickly nodded and said, ¡°Understood, Young Master Jie!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had thought that that was the end of it.
However, Yin Shaojie suddenly grabbed her hand, pulling her as they followed.
¡°Go with me.¡±
¡°Eh?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. ¡°Didn¡¯t you already send the security officer?¡±
Yin Shaojie paused for a moment before he said, ¡°I have something to say to her.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him, and she then took the chance to ask him, ¡°Do you know her?¡±
¡°Yeah. I¡¯ll exin to you when we get home, alright?¡± Yin Shaojie said calmly and gently as he turned back to look at her, unlike his usual domineering self.
Seeing as he was not hiding from her, Mu Xiaoxiao felt much more at ease.
Could this at least indicate that there was nothing special between Yin Shaojie and An Zhixin?
But she was still curious to know how he knew her and what their rtionship was.
Since he had said that he was going to exin this to her when they got home, she naturally felt that it was inappropriate to continue questioning him about it.

The bar¡¯s worker drove Yin Shaojie¡¯s car to him. Yin Shaojie brought Mu Xiaoxiao aboard his car, and the car in front of them chauffeured An Zhixin.
Yin Shaojie drove his car, following behind.
In the car.
Mu Xiaoxiao was unusually quiet, sitting obediently like a an elementary school kid.
Yin Shaojie saw the look of her and smiled. Then, he coughed and looked solemn as he said to her, ¡°Why did you go out alone? You didn¡¯t even inform me.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°I told Qiqing about it.¡±
Yin Shaojie cast a nce at her, and he humphed as he said, ¡°It only counts when you tell me in person. What¡¯s the point of telling her?¡±
So in her eyes, Qiqing and him were of equal significance to her?
The thought of this upset him.
¡°In any case,¡± he emphasized, ¡°don¡¯t wander around in ces like bars without telling me your location, got it?¡±
¡°Got it,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nonchntly replied. She then said jokingly, ¡°Yin Shaojie, why are you do naggy all of a sudden? You¡¯re more naggy than my dad.¡±
The traffic light ahead just happen to turn red. With a single hand on the steering wheel, Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes as he looked at her as he said threateningly, ¡°Try saying that again.¡±
He was worried for her, yet she called him naggy?
This girl really could not tell good from bad!
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed embarrassedly. How could she dare to say that again?
Looked at her innocent smile, Yin Shaojie could not help but reach out to pinch her on the face as he said again, ¡°From now onward, no matter where you go, you have to tell me, alright?¡±
¡°I got it!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao swatted away his hand.
The traffic light turned green. Then, Yin Shaojie sat straight and continued driving.
Looking at the car that was carrying An Zhixin and then ncing at Yin Shaojie from the corner of her eyes, Mu Xiaoxiao feigned indifference as she asked, ¡°Uh¡ Why did you not carry her to the hospital yourself?¡±
Yin Shaojie nced toward her, and he smiled faintly. He then teased, saying, ¡°I was afraid someone may get jealous.¡±
¡°As if I¡¯ll get jealous!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao immediately rebutted him.
Yin Shaojie slightly tilted his head, paying attention to the car in front as he looked at her. His smile grew wider as he said, ¡°Was I talking about you? Why did you assume I was talking about you?¡±
¡°I, I¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was stumped for words. She had only been slightly bashful earlier, but now, she was embarrassed.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes looked as if he was having fun. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you really jealous?¡±
¡°I told you I¡¯m not!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was already red. Luckily for her, the lights in the car were not turned on, or she would really have been embarrassed to death.
Afraid that he would continue to tease her, she quickly pretended to be dissatisfied as she said ¡°Hey! Can you focus on driving? Do you know that what you¡¯re doing is very dangerous? Stop looking here!¡±
As she desired, Yin Shaojie did not look at her again.
Even so, he could still imagine her bashful look, and she must look pretty cute!
His eyes showed growing amusement.
It was quiet in the car for awhile as they were still on their way to the hospital.
Mu Xiaoxiao was feeling restless again, and she said, ¡°Why would she faint so suddenly? Could she be in any trouble?¡±
This time, Yin Shaojie was focused on driving as he said, ¡°She should be fine. There could be many reasons why she fainted.¡±
¡°For example?¡±
¡°For example, her rotten father may have spiked her food earlier, or she may have experienced toorge of an emotional swing that she fainted when she started to rx.

Mu Xiaoxiao did not understand these things. But after hearing his analysis, she felt that it sounded reasonable.
As she thought of the first possibility, she sighed and said, ¡°Why would there be such fathers in this world!¡±
If she had not seen it for herself, she might not have believed that a father would prostitute her daughter for a little money.
Yin Shaojie replied, ¡°There¡¯s all kinds of people in this world. It¡¯s not surprising.¡±
This little girl has been sheltered all her life, with everyone doting and pampering her. How could she have seen the ugly side of things?
In this world, there were definitely more filthy and despicable things.
But, he hoped that she would not ever have to know about these things.
Around these pleasure districts, selling daughters into prostitution was nothing new. In fact, there were worse things than that.
As he watched his front, Yin Shaojie was considering not bringing her to ces like the bar again.
After a few minutes, they finally arrived at the hospital.
After examining An Zhixin, the doctor confirmed that she was overly stressed and malnourished, resulting in her ck out.
¡°Malnourished?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was slightly surprised.
The doctor nodded. He then instructed the nurse before he left.
The nurse gave An Zhixin a nutritional intravenous infusion. Before long, An Zhixin slowly woke up.
She opened her eyes to see where she was, her eyes still misty.
¡°How are you feeling?¡± A maic voice sounded in her ears.
An Zhixin turned her head to look in a daze, and she saw the unusually handsome Yin Shaojie.
She stared nkly as she mumbled, ¡°So I wasn¡¯t dreaming¡¡±
An Zhixin was eager to sit up, but Mu Xiaoxiao quickly stopped her, pressing on her hand as she said, ¡°Don¡¯t get up so quickly. Lay down for awhile. You¡¯re still receiving the infusion.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pointed at the infusion bag above.
An Zhixin then obedientlyid back down.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Yin Shaojie, thinking about what he had said earlier, and she wondered if she should leave them to talk.
At this moment, Yin Shaojie pulled up two chairs so that she could sit beside him.
Seeing that, Mu Xiaoxiao naturally stayed behind.
He is the one who offered the chair, so I¡¯m not being intrusive.
Mu Xiaoxiao happily sat down.
Looking puzzled, An Zhixin stared at the two, then her gaze finally stopped at Yin Shaojie¡¯s face.
She had never seen such an exceptionally handsome boy with such a ssy air about him; the airs he gave off were just like an exalted king¡¯s. Thus, she became dazed as she looked at him.
When she snapped out of it, her face was slightly suffused with red.
She carefully asked, ¡°I¡ don¡¯t think I know you?¡±
Yin Shaojie did not reply, but he looked at her and asked, ¡°Seven years ago, did you go to Taocheng¡¯skeside resort?¡±
An Zhixin paused as if she was recalling a memory, and she said, ¡°Lakeside resort? I didn¡¯t go there¡¡±
Suddenly, she was pleasantly surprised, nearly wanting to sit up again as she looked to Yin Shaojie and eximed, ¡°Were you the boy who passed out at thekeside?¡±
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao was startled, and she suddenly remembered.
She recalled back then that Yin Shaojie was about to wake up, so she quickly ran to call the adults. When she was returning with the adults, she saw Yin Shaojie apanied by a little girl beside him from afar.

As the group was walking to them, the little girl left.
Could the little girl from back then be An Zhixin?
Since it had happened seven years ago, Mu Xiaoxiao could not remember many details of the incident. She only vaguely remembered that a little girl had appeared then, but she had not put too much thought into it because she had thought that the girl had just been passing by coincidentally.
Little did she know that Yin Shaojie would still remember the little girl after all these years.
Could it be that he had been searching for the little girl all that time?
Not knowing why, a knot was forming in her heart as Mu Xiaoxiao felt slightly gloomy.
Suddenly, she was really curious to know what had happened between Yin Shaojie and the little girl in the time that she had gone to look for the adults.
Something must have happened.
Otherwise, Yin Shaojie would not have remembered the little girl.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s expression was slightly troubled as she looked at An Zhixin. It was a stark contrast from An Zhixin¡¯s happy countenance.
Yin Shaojie had not noticed the slight change in Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s expression as he was waiting for An Zhixin to think.
Having heard what she said, he knew that she remembered.
Thus, he smiled and said, ¡°Yes, I am that little boy.¡±
An Zhixin was visibly excited and joyful. Clearly, she had always remembered that little boy.
She had just never expected that they would meet again in such a situation after seven years. She was ted.
At this moment, she let down her guard toward Yin Shaojie as if toward a friend she had not seen for a long time, and she became much more cordial.
An Zhixin could hardly believe it as she said, ¡°How did you recognize me? After so many years, you still recognized me?¡±
She could not recognize him when she first saw him.
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Actually, you didn¡¯t change much. I can still see your younger self when looking at you.¡±
¡°But I couldn¡¯t recognize you¡¡± An Zhixin swallowed her saliva as she said embarrassedly.
Seeing their joyful conversation, Mu Xiaoxiao was on pins and needles.
She was clearly at the scene seven years ago, yet she could not even partake in the conversation.
She felt just like¡ an outsider.
At this moment, the nurse came to pull out the needle from An Zhixin, temporarily interrupting their conversation.
Yin Shaojie finally turned to see that Mu Xiaoxiao was looking dejected sitting beside him.
Suddenly, he stood up and said to An Zhixin, ¡°It¡¯s prettyte. You should sleep in the hospital tonight. Don¡¯t worry about the expenses as I have already paid for them. We¡¯re leaving then, and we will see you again tomorrow.¡±
With that said, he held Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand.
An Zhixin could not help but stare nkly at the two hands holding each other.
She smiled faintly, nodding as she said, ¡°Yeah, I got it. Oh yeah. Thank you for tonight.¡±
When she brought up the night¡¯s incident, her eyes grew dull.
¡°Don¡¯t worry about anything. I¡¯ll help you,¡± Yin Shaojie said as if he knew what was on her mind.
An Zhixin was slightly surprised as she looked at him, visibly moved.
His calm and confident countenance seemed as if nothing was a problem to him.
Yin Shaojie then took Mu Xiaoxiao and left.
In the car, he suddenly reached out to pinch Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s cheek.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao did not have a huge reaction as she simply turned to look at him, still looking slightly dejected.
¡°Silly girl, what¡¯s wrong? Smile a little,¡± he said.
Mu Xiaoxiao swatted his hand away, pursed her lips, and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to smile.¡±

Seeing her angry look, he could not help but reach out his slender fingers to poke her cheek.
¡°Why don¡¯t you want to smile? Smile.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao cast a sidelong nce at him and said, ¡°I just don¡¯t want to smile!¡±
¡°You got to have a reason not to smile, right?¡±
¡°No.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao turned her face away again. She did not want to continue discussing the topic, so she said, ¡°Just drive.¡±
However, the car did not move, and there was no sound from Yin Shaojie either.
Puzzled, she was going to turn to check on him when he touched her shoulder and said, ¡°How about this?¡±
What?
Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head in frustration.
Then, she saw Yin Shaojie making a funny face. Caught unprepared, she nearly broke out intoughter.
However, she could bear it anymore, so she deliberately said condescendingly, ¡°Childish! It¡¯s not even funny!¡±
¡°That¡¯s still not funny? What about this?¡±
The Great Master Yin had definitely sacrificed himself greatly today as he then pushed his nose up with his finger, making a pig face. The look was indeedical.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stubbornly holding it in and did notugh.
She shook her head and said, ¡°Not funny! Not funny!¡±
Looking dejected, Great Master Yin put down his hand and said grudgingly, ¡°It looks like I have to use myst technique then.¡±
What technique?
Mu Xiaoxiao curiously stared at him, hoping to see what else he coulde up with.
Actually, it was the first time she had seen Yin Shaojie dispense his posturing to make her happy.
Was he just acting on a whim or was he acting specially for her?
Seeing as he looked so happy, he could just be acting on a whim.
Just as Mu Xiaoxiao was thinking about this, Yin Shaojie suddenly brought his face close to her as he also narrowed his eyes, carrying a dangerous implication.
¡°What¡ are you doing?¡± She raised her eyebrows as she looked at him.
¡°Look closely!¡± he said.
¡°What? Ah¡ª No!¡± Suddenly, the demon¡¯s w reached for her waist, and Mu Xiaoxiao screamed.
She finally realized what he was up to!
¡°Hahahaha¡ Stop¡ I¡¯mughing, alright? Hahahaha¡ I¡¯mughing! I¡¯mughing! Knock it off!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s fatal weakness was her ticklish spots.
The speed of Yin Shaojie¡¯s hands was amazing. No matter how she tried to dodge, she could not dodge his hands.
Mu Xiaoxiao wasughing till her stomach hurt, and she begged for mercy, ¡°No more. No more¡ I beg you, let me off¡¡±
¡°Say ¡®Hubby, I love you.¡¯ Then, I¡¯ll let you off.¡± Yin Shaojie smiled devilishly as he took the chance to make some demands.
Mu Xiaoxiao could not take it any longer, and she had no chance to mull it over and did not even think about what the statement meant before she said, ¡°Hubby, I¡¡±
Brake!
Thest two words were not uttered.
Yin Shaojie was smiling, waiting for her confession, but she stopped halfway.
Displeased, he stared at her and said, ¡°You¡¯re not keeping your word! Quickly, say it fully!¡±
Red-faced, Mu Xiaoxiao red at him and said, ¡°Don¡¯t go overboard!¡±
¡°So what if I go overboard, are you going to bite me?¡± Yin Shaojie was deliberate as heughed mischievously.
Staring at him, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly grabbed his arm and took a bite.
¡°Tsk,¡± Yin Shaojie gritted his teeth and quickly withdrew his arm.
¡°Shit! You really bit me! Mu Xiaoxiao, since when were you born in the year of the dog!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed out loud, ¡°Hahaha, you asked me to bite you!¡±
Seeing her smile again, Yin Shaojie rubbed her hair as he said, ¡°You¡¯re smiling now. That¡¯s better.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned as she stared at him.
The two looked face to face, and Yin Shaojie¡¯s face drew closer.

When Mu Xiaoxiao reacted to it, her face had traces of embarrassment as she shrunk back and asked him, ¡°What are you trying to do?¡±
The mood seemed appropriate. He couldn¡¯t be thinking of¡ kissing her, right?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart thumped.
However, Yin Shaojie¡¯s long arm reached past her and pulled down the seatbelt as he teased, ¡°I was going to help you fasten your seatbelt. What else do you think I was going to do?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pressed his face back with her palm as she said in a huff, ¡°Go away! I can fasten it myself.¡±
Yin Shaojie returned to his seat, smiling as he watched her fuming little face.
After ensuring that she had fastened her seat belt, he started the car.
When they were back at the condominium, it was already quitete.
The moment Mu Xiaoxiao entered the living room, she threw herself onto the sofa like usual.
¡°I¡¯m hungry¡¡±
As he ced the keys on the table, Yin Shaojie, who was talking to someone over the phone, casually nced at Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°Give me the results of the investigation tomorrow as soon as possible¡¡±
Having heard thest sentence that he said, Mu Xiaoxiao, who was lying on the sofa, turned around and sit up to look at him.
Yin Shaojie hung up the phone as he looked at her and asked, ¡°What do you want to eat? There are not many takeouts avable at this time.¡±
However, Mu Xiaoxiao asked instead, ¡°Are you going to investigate An Zhixin¡¯s father?¡±
When he had said earlier that he would help An Zhixin, did he intend to continue helping her in the future instead of simply helping her for just this once?
¡°Yeah,¡± Yin Shaojie nodded and said, ¡°you saw for yourself her family circumstances. She cannot continue like this.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had nothing else to say. She pulled a pillow to hug it, lowering her head looking like she was thinking about something.
Yin Shaojie sat beside her, and he rubbed her head.
¡°What¡¯s going on in your little head again?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao brushed off his hand, appearing frustrated as she said, ¡°Stop messing up my hair! Go away!¡±
Yin Shaojie stared at her for a moment, then he said in a more serious tone, ¡°Do you think I am mistaken that An Zhixin was the one who had saved me seven years ago?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him without saying anything, waiting for him to continue talking.
Although she did consider that possibility before¡
It had been a desperate situation, as he had fainted the moment he had gotten up from the water. The first person he saw was An Zhixin and not Mu Xiaoxiao, so it was possible that he had remembered incorrectly and believed that it was An Zhixin who had saved him.
Yin Shaojie sighed, his slender lips pursed as it turned into a smile. He then said to her, ¡°Aren¡¯t you silly! Of course I remember that you were the one who saved me!¡±
Hearing that, the shred of unpleasant doubt in Mu Xiaoxiao vanished like smoke.
Luckily, he had not mistaken An Zhixin to be the one who had saved him.
If it had turned out to be so melodramatic, she would have been so depressed!
Mu Xiaoxiao felt at ease. She then quibbled with him, saying, ¡°When have I ever thought that! How could you remember incorrectly? You were still awake in the water. I picked up a stick and extended it to you to pull you up. If you could even forget that, then I really have to doubt your intellect!¡±
However, there was still something she was curious about. When she had gone to look for the adults and An Zhixin, what had happened between the two of them?
Why did he still remember An Zhixin after seven years?
As these thoughts came to her mind, her heart, which had just started to rx, felt stifled.
At this moment, Yin Shaojie reached out his arm and pulled her to his chest. Looking down at her, he said to her, ¡°And so, my life is yours.¡±
Chapter 278 - Why Cant I Kiss You?
Chapter 278: Why Can¡¯t I Kiss You?
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
My life is yours¡
With that single line, the mncholy that had germinated in her heart was removed.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned to face him. She looked into his eyes and asked seriously, ¡°Really?¡±
Your life is mine, so only I am able to control it?
And no one else can?
¡°Yeah, really.¡± Yin Shaojie even nodded his head seriously. He then smiled devilishly as his face suddenly went close to hers, and with eyes that seemed to be able to see through her, he said, ¡°So what do you want to do to me? You can do anything.¡±
Why did thest line sound so suggestive?
Mu Xiaoxiao blushed, and she pushed him back a little. ¡°Who wants to do anything to you!¡±
When the two got too close, her heart would race uncontrobly.
Better if they kept some distance apart.
She did not want to have him hear her wildly beating heart, as he would definitelyugh at her!
However, that demon was persistent as he got closer again. ¡°Really, you don¡¯t want to do anything? I¡¯m very useful. For example¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t talk anymore about that!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly reached out her hand to cover his mouth, lest he said anything shameful.
She had already experienced that jerk¡¯sck of restraint.
Moreover, guys had a particr fondness for dirty jokes!
Yin Shaojie cleverly dodged her hand, and he suddenly flung her over and pinned her on the sofa.
His pitch-ck eyes were fixated on her, and he insisted on finishing what he was saying, ¡°Like this¡¡±
With that, he lowered his head and kissed her on her little mouth.
His soft lips covered atop hers as they pressed close together in a delicate caressing motion.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened in surprise as if she could not believe that he would do that.
He clearly only dared to steal a kiss from her secretly!
But, today, he¡¯s¡
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s brain quickly became stupid, and her heart instantly raced as if it was going to burst out of her.
This time, Yin Shaojie did not kiss her deeply, but he only had a shallow taste of her before letting her go.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was flushed. She found her voice again after some time, looking at him as she questioned him, ¡°Yin Shaojie! Why did you kiss me?¡±
Now, would he say¡
However, the demon smiled devilishly and said, ¡°You are my wife. Why can¡¯t I kiss you?¡±
¡°Plus¡¡± Yin Shaojie yfully smiled and said, ¡°I know from the look of you that you have no experience in this area. So I sacrificed myself to help you practice kissing. Isn¡¯t that good?¡±
¡°Good my foot!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pushed him away in a huff, and she threw a fist at his body mercilessly.
¡°Hey, can you be softer? It¡¯s painful!¡± Even though she was a girl and she wasn¡¯t that strong, it could still hurt when hit so forcefully. More importantly, her hand should hurt too, right?
¡°Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao had no intention of stopping.
She was getting more confused. Did this bastard actually like her?
If not, then why must he kiss her time and time again to confuse her?
If he did, then why wasn¡¯t he honest with her¡
The more Mu Xiaoxiao thought, the gloomier she felt. She picked up a pillow and smashed it on him furiously.
¡°Yin Shaojie, you pervert! Don¡¯t ever think abouting into the room to sleep! You can sleep on the sofa for the rest of your life! Humph!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao got down from the sofa angrily and threw the pillow at him before running back into the room.
¡°Bang!¡± The pitiful door howled in grief.

On the sofa.
Watching Mu Xiaoxiao leave in a huff, Yin Shaojie did not chase after her immediately but only sat quietly.
After some time, he gritted his teeth and raised his head, his eyes filled with remorse, and he growled as he tightly clenched his fist and punched the sofa.
¡
The next morning.
Mu Xiaoxiao was woken up by hunger pangs.
She had already said that she was hungryst night. However, since Yin Shaojie had made her angry, she ate nothing before going straight to sleep.
She was still feeling sleepy and was reluctant to wake up, but she was so hungry that she had no choice but to wake up.
¡°So hungry¡¡± she mumbled.
She raised her head out of habit to look for a certain someone¡¯s face.
Indeed, Yin Shaojie¡¯s face was close at hand, and he was still sleeping soundly. Eyes closed, his eyshes were longer and curlier than a girl¡¯s, and his facial features did not have their usual roguish look. However, they looked gentler, just like an elegant prince¡¯s from a fairy tale.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at his face, and suddenly, she was stunned.
Didn¡¯t she tell him to sleep on the sofast night?
How did he get in!
Mu Xiaoxiao was furious. This bastard couldn¡¯t be trusted. He was made to sleep on the sofa, but he snuck into the bedroom instead. He was simply unreasonable!
Raising her hand, she was about to hit him.
However, seeing the handsome look of him sound asleep, how could she bear to hit him.
That bastard!
Mu Xiaoxiao found that she was in his arms again, and she quickly escaped from them.
Since she could not bear to hit him, she red at him instead.
At this moment, Yin Shaojie furrowed his brows a little as if he was feeling ufortable somewhere. His long arms reached out to pull her back into his embrace, pressing her against his sturdy chest.
He then rubbed his face against her before resuming to sleep.
Thinking that he was about to wake up, Mu Xiaoxiao raised her hand as she waited for him to wake up so that she could p him to vent her anger.
However, Great Master Yin seemed to be sleeping soundly with no sign of waking up anytime soon.
After staring at his elegant face for a long time without seeing the oue she had expected, unaware of her own actions, she started to scrutinize his facial features.
Though the jerk was unreasonable and shameless, you couldn¡¯t deny that he had gotten the adoration of the heavens to have developed such a handsome face that could charm every living soul.
As a boy, his eyshes longer than a girl¡¯s, his eyes were pretty, his nose was straight, and his mouth was slender and sexy.
As she stared, Mu Xiaoxiao recalled the kiss fromst night, and her face grew hot.
It was the first time that he had kissed her openly without resorting to stealing a kiss without her knowing.
Contrary to her expectations, she had thought that he was going to confess to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed inwardly.
Oh Yin Shaojie. What could this bastard be thinking about?
How exactly do you feel toward me¡
It was also the first time that Mu Xiaoxiao had approached the problem of love.
Thus, she was at a loss as she did not know how to solve the puzzle.
It seemed clear that he liked her. But sometimes, her confidence wavered, and she doubted herself, thinking that she must be mistaken.
However, if she were the one to confess her feelings, she would be very anxious and restless, afraid that their situation would change. What if the oue was not as expected? Would there still be a way to reverse things?
Then, she would not be able to help herself but take a step back and think that actually, their rtionship was pretty good just the way it was.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled. I¡¯ll just let nature take its course then!
Then, she moved closer to Yin Shaojie and pecked him on his lips before getting down from the bed.

Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled as her spirits had been lifted.
He had always been the one to kiss her secretly. Now, it was her turn to kiss her secretly. That should make them even, right?
Actually, she had only intended to kiss him on the face. But god knew what happened that made her kiss him on the lips instead.
But, it¡¯s not a big deal. It¡¯s not the first time we kissed anyway.
Mu Xiaoxiao pretended to beposed. However, when she got down from the bed, she did not dare to turn back to look at Yin Shaojie as she quickly went out of the bedroom.
Upon closing the door.
Yin Shaojie, who was supposed to be lying in bed sound asleep, opened his eyes. His obsidian-like eyes were filled with great amusement.
¡
When Yin Shaojie walked out of the bedroom, he saw Mu Xiaoxiao in the kitchen, unclear what she was up to.
He was faintly smiling. Could this wretch be making breakfast for him?
How virtuous!
Yin Shaojie sneaked up behind her, both arms reaching out to wrap around her slender waist, and he said into her ears in a deep, alluring voice, ¡°Wifey, what are you doing?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao jumped from the fright. Her ears were red as she pushed him away with her elbow.
¡°Get lost! Stop disturbing me!¡±
¡°Are you making breakfa¡¡± Yin Shaojie avoided her attack as he poked out his head to peek at what she was making for breakfast.
That¡¯s strange. Mu Xiaoxiao actually knows how to cook?
That is unheard of!
However, when Yin Shaojie saw the instant noodles on the ingredients table, his smile stiffened as he said, ¡°You¡¯re just¡ cooking this?¡±
She appeared to be so busy in the kitchen just now. He had thought that she was making some grand meal. But she was cooking instant noodles? And it was just cup noodles too. It only needed boiling water!
¡°Yeah. What else? It¡¯s not for you! Go away!¡±
Holding the instant noodle cup, Mu Xiaoxiao pushed him away with her elbows and went toward the sofa.
Yin Shaojie frowned as he followed her. He then snatched the instant noodles from her and said, ¡°Don¡¯t eat this. Why are you eating instant noodles? It is not nutritious!¡±
¡°But I¡¯m hungry. I can¡¯t wait long enough for takeout. I want to eat something now. Give it back to me!¡±
She also did not want to eat instant noodles, but she had no choice as she was starving. There was nothing else to eat in the fridge except for instant noodles.
¡°You can¡¯t eat this!¡± Yin Shaojie became domineering again.
¡°I¡¯m really starving, okay! Just let me have one mouthful. Just one mouthful, alright?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked pitifully at him.
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes as he looked at her and said, ¡°Give me a few minutes, and I will get you some warm milk to satiate your hunger for a while, alright?¡±
In short, she was forbidden from eating junk food like instant noodles early in the morning!
Just as Mu Xiaoxiao was going to say something, Yin Shaojie continued saying, ¡°Then, I¡¯ll make a poached egg and sausages. There¡¯s still beef in the fridge. I¡¯ll make you a beef sandwich. Is that okay with you?¡±
Hearing about so many good foods, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes gleamed as she nodded her head vigorously and said, ¡°Okay!¡±
Moreover, what surprised her was that the Great Master Yin was going to personally cook for her?
This was rare!
Yin Shaojie carried the instant noodles away. Just as he was about to open the fridge, his cell phone rang.
Initially expecting that the result of the investigation on An Furen hade back, he had received a call from the hospital instead. Moreover, it was a call about an emergency situation.
Yin Shaojie frowned as he replied, ¡°Okay! I¡¯ll go there right away!¡±
¡°Where are you going?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him, puzzled. Didn¡¯t he say that he was going to cook for her?
Yin Shaojie did not look happy as he said, ¡°Something happened with An Zhixin. It seems serious. I have to go there right away.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. The smile on her face instantly vanished.

Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to appear petty, but she just couldn¡¯t smile. Was Yin Shaojie going to abandon her and leave her starving for another girl even though he had promised to make her breakfast earlier?
How could she smile then?
Trying to conceal her upset feelings, she asked, ¡°What happened?¡±
¡°It¡¯s her dad. He somehow got wind of her being in the hospital, went there, and is making a huge fuss right now. The doctor called me because he doesn¡¯t know what to do, and the situation sounds quite urgent, so¡¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at Mu Xiaoxiao hesitantly.
How could he not notice the slight change in her expression?
Mu Xiaoxiao forced a smile and tried to appear generous. ¡°Hurry up and go then,¡± she said.
Even though she didn¡¯t really understand what the actual situation was, there was no knowing what An Zhixin¡¯s father was capable of doing.
The doctor must have called Yin Shaojie only because the situation was really bad. Moreover, it must be something that was reallyplicated because it was something that could not be exined properly over the phone.
Mu Xiaoxiao touched her stomach with her hand after her speech.
She was extremely hungry. Her stomach was going to hurt soon if she didn¡¯t eat.
¡°Hurry up and go,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said in a hurrying tone as she waved him off. She then picked up her bowl of instant noodles and walked over to the dining table.
Yin Shaojie studied her little face.
This girl¡¯s emotions were always clearly disyed on her face, and now was not an exception.
He turned around and walked towards the refrigerator.
Mu Xiaoxiao heard the sound of his footsteps but didn¡¯t lift her head to look at him. She continued to look down and swirled the instant noodles around with her fork, not eating.
She had been really, really hungry earlier, but her appetite seemed to be gone now.
She heard the sound of the fridge being opened, then closed, and then heard Yin Shaojie go into the kitchen.
Just as Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzling over what he was doing, she heard him talking to someone on the phone.
¡°Go to the hospital immediately and stabilize the situation first; I¡¯ll be there soon. Yeah, you don¡¯t have to do anything.¡±
After he hung up, she could hear a beeping as though some machine was being switched on.
Mu Xiaoxiao finally couldn¡¯t help but lift her head.
Because she was sitting directly in the view of the kitchen, her gaze met Yin Shaojie¡¯s directly. He looked as though he had been studying her all along, waiting for her to lift her head.
In a coddling voice, Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Whatever should I do with you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart was touched, and she could only gaze at him, stupefied.
¡°Put your hand down; I told you not to eat those nutrition-less things already. There¡¯ll be real food soon,¡± Yin Shaojie said, his hands never stopping.
Mu Xiaoxiao noticed that his actions were a little awkward and unskilled as though he was doing this for the first time. He even looked a little clumsy.
For example, he frowned in displeasure when an eggshell fell into the bowl while he was breaking an egg. He tried to pick it out with his fingers but was unsessful, and only did it when he used a pair of chopsticks.
Within ten minutes, he ced the finished breakfast in front of her: two fried eggs, a sausage, and a heated ss of milk.
¡°Eat this for now. I¡¯lle back immediately after I¡¯m done with the stuff,¡± Yin Shaojie said as he walked out.
The door shut with a bang.
Upon hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao, who had been reactionless, turned her head back violently and looked in the direction of the door.
However, Yin Shaojie was already gone.

Mu Xiaoxiao cupped the ss of milk in her hands, and the heat warmed her palms. It was neither too hot nor cold; it felt reallyfortable.
She suddenly had an appetite and drank a mouthful of milk. The warm liquid flowed into her empty stomach and settled snugly.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s appetite came back at once, and she soon finished everything on her te.
She had to say that Yin Shaojie¡¯s cooking was a little bad.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao ate it contently. At least her stomach was full now.
With her hunger settled, she couldn¡¯t help but think about him.
She didn¡¯t know if Yin Shaojie had already arrived at the hospital, what An Zhixin¡¯s father had kicked up a fuss about, or if the situation had already been settled¡
Originally, Mu Xiaoxiao had been quite sympathetic to An Zhixin. It was pretty miserable to have such a father.
However¡ When she remembered how An Zhixin had gazed at Yin Shaojie, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s felt uneasy.
The more she thought about it, the uneasier she got.
Mu Xiaoxiao stood up suddenly. Feeling like she couldn¡¯t stay here any longer, she went into the room, changed her clothes hurriedly, and rushed out to the hospital.
Without Yin Shaojie as her chauffeur, she could only take a taxi there.
Her thoughts couldn¡¯t help but run wild when she sat in the vehicle.
What had happened between Yin Shaojie and An Zhixin seven years ago? Why was he so anxious over her welfare?
These questions made her feel suffocated.
Could it be that Yin Shaojie had fallen in love with An Zhixin at first sight?
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt uneasy as she remembered something else.
It was that time at the hot spring vi ¡ª Song Shijun had said that Yin Shaojie had been trying to find a particr girl.
Could it be that¡ the person he wanted to find was actually An Zhixin?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face turned white.
Her chest felt tight as though a stone was sitting on it. She felt like she couldn¡¯t breathe.
If there wasn¡¯t some history between them, why would Yin Shaojie mysteriously try to find a girl ¡®destined to be his soulmate!¡¯
Mu Xiaoxiao was not stupid. She was mentally agile and seemed to find the answer after linking all these events together.
However, this was an answer that Mu Xiaoxiao did not dare to probe into.
When she thought about Yin Shaojie having liked another girl before, and one whom he kept thinking about for seven long years¡
¡°Little miss, are you alright? You look pale; are you sick?¡± the driver suddenly turned to look at her and asked worriedly.
Mu Xiaoxiao clenched her aching heart, her eyes a little red.
When she finally calmed down, she smiled at the driver and replied, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Do you mind speeding up a little? I need to get there quickly.¡±
Her only thought now was to get to the hospital. She didn¡¯t want Yin Shaojie and An Zhixin to be alone together.
Still worried about her and thinking that she was going to the hospital to treat an illness, the driver increased his speed and even took a shortcut.
After about ten minutes, they finally arrived at the hospital.
After receiving the money for the ride, the kind-hearted driver advised, ¡°Little miss, you should ask a family member or a friend forpany when youe to the hospital for treatment so that you¡¯ll feel less afraid and lonely.¡±
¡°Thank you.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao felt touched and gave him a genuine smile.
The driver waved at her. ¡°Hurry in then. I wish you a speedy recovery.¡±
He then drove off.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned around and entered the hospital. Using her memory as a guide, she found the room An Zhixin was staying in.
However, now that she was standing in front of the room, her courage to open it disappeared.
What if she saw an intimate scene when she pushed open the door?
Just as she was gazing at the door handle hesitantly, someone from the inside opened the door suddenly.

An An Furen brimming with fury walked out, almost bumping into Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°Scram!¡± he roared angrily.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s reflexes were a little slow, and An Furen was about to push her away.
In the next second, a dark silhouette shed over and grabbed An Furen¡¯s arm in one fell swoop.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked a little daze at Yin Shaojie before her.
Wasn¡¯t he in the room? Why was he so fast?
Yin Shaojie red at An Furen coldly, anger in his dark eyes. ¡°How dare you shout at her?¡±
¡°I-I¡¡± An Furen had never imagined that he could be frightened to the point where he trembled by a youth of less than eighteen years of age.
Having just been given the cold shoulder, his heart was brimming with anger. When he opened the door and saw Mu Xiaoxiao, he thought he had found an easy target to bully and thought that he could shout at her.
¡°Ah, AH ¡ª ! I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry! I¡¯m the one at fault!¡± An Furen¡¯s arm was almost going to break from the tight grasp, and he was breaking out in cold sweat from the pain.
Yin Shaojie pushed him away. ¡°Scram! Don¡¯t let me see you ever again!¡±
An Furen fell to the ground ungracefully. Terrified, he hastily crawled back up and dashed off, stumbling as he did.
¡°Xiaoxiao, are you alright?¡± Yin Shaojie then looked at Mu Xiaoxiao worriedly. His terrible anger had disappeared, and he had turned back into the Yin Shaojie she knew when he faced her.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±
She walked into the room and asked him, ¡°What happened just now? Has it been settled?¡±
Standing by the bedside, An Zhixin looked at her with an indescribable emotion in her eyes.
She had seen how Yin Shaojie had protected Mu Xiaoxiao earlier, and it made her feel¡ envious.
Noticing Mu Xiaoxiao look over, An Zhixin gave her a smile, but it was filled with a little bitterness. ¡°My father¡ owed a lot of money to other people. Those people came looking for himst night and forced him to pay up, so he came looking for me, wanting me to help him earn some money¡¡± she said.
She kept silent regarding how that money was going to be earned. It was the same situation as the night before.
Mu Xiaoxiao surveyed the messy ward, astonished. Most of the things here had been smashed.
She couldn¡¯t imagine how An Zhixin¡¯s father had thrashed the ce earlier.
No wonder the doctor had been so anxious to inform Yin Shaojie about this.
¡°Oh, are you alright?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked An Zhixin politely.
¡°Thank you, I¡¯m fine. Luckily, Shaojie came in time,¡± An Zhixin shook her head as she said, her gaze on Yin Shaojie.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart throbbed.
Shaojie¡?
She actually called Yin Shaojie by that!
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little upset upon hearing how intimately An Zhixin called Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie was standing behind Mu Xiaoxiao, so he did not see the emotions in her eyes.
He looked at An Zhixin and said, ¡°Let¡¯s get you discharged then.¡±
An Zhixin looked troubled and said hesitantly, ¡°Actually, you¡¯ve already helped me a lot. You don¡¯t have to anymore; I¡¯ll take care of the rest myself.
Luckily, Yin Shaojie hadn¡¯t epted her father¡¯s ckmailing, or she would have been too ashamed to show her face.
Mu Xiaoxiao made an effort to smile amicably and asked them, ¡°Do you mind telling me what you¡¯re talking about?¡±
She didn¡¯t want to be an outsider again!
An Zhixin looked at Mu Xiaoxiao, finding it difficult to speak.
This made Mu Xiaoxiao even more bothered.
So, how was Yin Shaojie going to settle An Zhixin¡¯s problem?
She looked at Yin Shaojie and waited for his reply.

Chapter 284: Let¡¯s Get Off On the Bed!

Yin Shaojie, however, didn¡¯t look guilty. With easy grace, he said, ¡°I¡¯ve arranged for her to stay somewhere temporarily since she can¡¯t go home right now.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had a bad feeling about this. ¡°Where?¡± she asked.
Please let it not be what she imagined it to be!
¡
Once they had settled An Zhixin down, Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie entered their condominium.
Seeing how fast she was walking, Yin Shaojie reached out to grab her arm and pulled her back, hugging her in his embrace.
¡°Wifey~ Are you angry?¡± He put on a coddling tone.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned to re at him, replying queerly, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you invite her to live here? I can move downstairs instead, and you can have some space to reminisce about old times together.¡±
Yin Shaojie owned other properties in this block of luxurious condominiums, and he let An Zhixin stay in one temporarily.
Luckily, he didn¡¯t arrange for her to stay together with them, or Mu Xiaoxiao wouldn¡¯t be disying only this level of attitude.
However, the idea was impossible anyway, for they only had one bedroom, rendering it impossible for anyone else to move in with them.
Just then, Mu Xiaoxiao was suddenly very grateful to Mama Yin.
Mu Xiaoxiao waited for Yin Shaojie to continue coaxing her, for he was the one at fault in the first ce anyway.
Unexpectedly, he put on a thoughtful look and nodded. ¡°Oh yeah, that works too.¡±
¡°What did you say?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t believe his reply. She turned around and pushed him away violently. ¡°Say that again!¡± She red at him forcefully.
¡°I was joking, of course!¡± Yin Shaojie smiled teasingly. He moved his handsome face closer to her, looking as if he was about to hug her again.
Mu Xiaoxiao avoided his hands angrily.
However, Yin Shaojie had the agility of a ghost. She managed to avoid him twice before she was caught by him again and pinned to his chest.
¡°This is our home. How can I let anyone else stay over here? Who told you to say that? I feel ufortable hearing that.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao, pleased by his exnation, didn¡¯t continue to shake him free this time.
¡°Yin Shaojie¡ How long are you going to help her till?¡± she asked unhappily.
At first, she had thought that he was only going to help An Zhixin settle her problems once.
However, based on the current situation, things weren¡¯t that simple anymore.
An Zhixin had too many problems that couldn¡¯t be solved in just a single day.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao immediately regretted saying the words as soon as they left her mouth.
Wouldn¡¯t this make her seem too petty?
Yin Shaojie lowered his head and looked into her eyes. His dark eyes looked thoughtful as he said, ¡°If you don¡¯t want me to continue helping her¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head hurriedly and said, ¡°No, it¡¯s not that! She¡¯s kinda pitiful, with her dad being so detestable and all. You should help her.¡±
He had already started helping her. He couldn¡¯t just abandon her midway, could he?
If no one helped An Zhixin and her dad forced her into prostitution, her life would be over.
She couldn¡¯t cause An Zhixin¡¯s life to be destroyed just because she was a little unhappy, could she?
She would feel really guilty.
Moreover, An Zhixin didn¡¯t seem like a bad person up till now. She seemed sensible and didn¡¯t feel like a greedy person.
Yin Shaojie was studying Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face and felt that she was really beautiful at that moment.
He couldn¡¯t help but lean forward and give her a kiss. ¡°Wifey, you¡¯re so kind!¡±
¡°Get off!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was still a little upset at him and pushed him away.
However, Yin Shaojie used the momentum to pick her up. He smiled sinisterly as he said, ¡°Okay, my dear wife, let¡¯s go get off on the bed!¡±
His kicked the bedroom door open with a long leg and carried her in.

Mu Xiaoxiao was blushing from his teasing and thrashed about, trying to get down. ¡°Get off your head! Let me down right now!¡±
Who wanted to get off with him, that shameless jerk!
This jerk, however, was helplessly tall. His body was proportioned perfectly like a model¡¯s, and the length of his legs already took up half of his height. If she fell down from his chest, it would hurt quite a bit.
If not for this, she would have already bitten him and made him let go of her.
This jerk had predicted that she wouldn¡¯t dare to do such a thing out of fear of pain, so he did whatever he wanted.
¡°Don¡¯t wanna.¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s long legs brought them to the bedside quickly. He put her on to the bed immediately before pressing down on her with his weight.
¡°Yin Shaojie!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao chided him shyly. She saw his face getting closer and closer, looking like he was about to kiss her.
Yin Shaojie smiled devilishly as he replied, ¡°Your hubby¡¯s here~ Wifey, which position do you prefer to do it in? I¡¯m very amodating.¡±
¡°Since when do I want to do it with you!¡± She lifted her hand to hit him again.
Yin Shaojie grabbed her wrist in a single motion and trapped it above her head. His dark eyes narrowed in mock threatening. ¡°Who do you want to do it with, then?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao goaded him deliberately, saying, ¡°Why do you care? It¡¯s not you, for sure.¡±
¡°Why can¡¯t it be me? I¡¯m your legitimate husband. If you¡¯re not going to do it with me, are you going to do it with someone else? Mu Xiaoxiao, I dare you to say that again!¡±
A particr demon lowered his voice. He seemed to really sound angry in hisst sentence.
His handsome face leaned forward, his sexy lips brushing across the tip of her nose.
Mu Xiaoxiao shrunk her neck back. ¡°I didn¡¯t say that I¡¯d do it with anyone else either¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t even think about it!¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s dark eyes shed with bullying as he pressed his lips down. He sealed her lips forcefully as though he was trying to punish her.
¡°Mm!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened. Why was he kissing her again!
She had thought that they were fooling around as usual, but she had never imagined that he would be more and more unrestrained.
Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t as easy to dissuade as the previous time.
How was only having a tiny taste enough?
Yin Shaojie had obviously been wanting to kiss her like that for the longest time ¡ª not secretly, and especially not when she was sleeping and unconscious.
She was now sober and wide awake and could feel his every touch and tease.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little dazed and confused.
How did things turn out like this¡
She felt Yin Shaojie¡¯s hand sneak under her shirt, his long fingers stroking her delicate skin gently.
Mu Xiaoxiao moaned.
She almost jumped at the shameful sound she had made.
This made her return to her senses. She hastily pushed on Yin Shaojie¡¯s chest with a hand, separating their lips.
No!
It was too much, too much!
Mu Xiaoxiao felt as though her heart was about to burst.
This jerk couldn¡¯t be serious about doing it, could he?
Her face was red from shyness as she red at him with a hint of displeasure, and her chest heaved from their earlier kiss.
Yin Shaojie, however, looked calm and collected as his dark eyes studied her little face, his gaze zing hot.

The pair gazed into each others¡¯ eyes. The romantic atmosphere was almost overbearing.
Mu Xiaoxiao opened her mouth as if to speak.
However, Yin Shaojie got up suddenly and left the room in a hurry.
Mu Xiaoxiao heard the sound of the door close. It didn¡¯t seem like the main door but rather the shower door.
This led her to remember that time when he took a cold shower at the hot spring vi.
Then?
Was he talking a cold shower right now again?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face burned, and she drew the nket up violently. Wrapping it around herself, she curled up, looking like a little kitten who was trying to hide.
¡
It was the weekend.
Didn¡¯t they buy a lot of essential oils from the hot spring vi? Han Qiqing called Mu Xiaoxiao to ask if she wanted toe over and have an aromatherapy session and a heart-to-heart talk.
Unexpectedly, she was told the matter regarding An Zhixin. However, Mu Xiaoxiao only mentioned it briefly without going much into detail.
Thus, Han Qiqing pressed her urgently, saying, ¡°Hurry over to my house then! Tell me what this is all about properly!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was in the process of packing her bag. ¡°I¡¯ll be there soon; I¡¯ll head out once I finish packing,¡± she said.
¡°Oh and, with the situation like this, you have to ask Yin Shaojie to drive you over so that he won¡¯t have the chance to interact with that girl,¡± Han Qiqing hurriedly advised.
Mu Xiaoxiao was suddenly quiet.
Upon noticing that she was silent, Han Qiqing took a guess, ¡°Could it be that Yin Shaojie¡¯s not at home right now? Did he go out to meet that girl?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed bitterly, ¡°I don¡¯t know¡ But he went out pretty early this morning.¡±
However, she didn¡¯t know if he had indeed gone over to meet An Zhixin.
At first, she had thought that Yin Shaojie had only gone out, never imagining this as a possibility.
However, Han Qiqing¡¯s words made Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart question this, suspecting. Yin Shaojie wouldn¡¯t have gone to look for An Zhixin, would he?
Han Qiqing said anxiously, ¡°Hurry up and check on it then! Why are you still hesitating? Aren¡¯t you afraid of Yin Shaojie being stolen from you? Girls nowadays have so many tricks up their sleeves! Xiaoxiao, you must be careful!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s expression turned gloomy as she said sullenly, ¡°Qiqing, can you please stop scaring me?¡±
Because she didn¡¯t know what exactly had happened between Yin Shaojie and An Zhixin seven years ago, she was beginning to be just a little bit bothered by An Zhixin.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao was constantlyforting herself by the fact that An Zhixin didn¡¯t seem like a malicious girl.
Nothing had yet happened, so she couldn¡¯t really say that An Zhixin was her rival, right?
However, Han Qiqing said gravely, ¡°My dear, I¡¯m not trying to scare you but trying to warn you! You haven¡¯t been in the country these few years, so you don¡¯t know how far these girls are willing to go ¡ª they are capable of doing anything to get the guy of their dreams! Oh, they¡¯re just like Bai Meijiao! You¡¯ve already experienced it too.¡±
Upon hearing her words, Mu Xiaoxiao became silent.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Mu Xiaoxiao said to Han Qiqing, ¡°Someone pressed the doorbell, so I¡¯m going to open the door. I¡¯ll talk to youter.¡±
She also needed some time to think about what Han Qiqing had said.
She hung up the call and went to open the door. To her surprise, An Zhixin was standing at the entrance.
An Zhixin had an affable smile as she nodded at Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°Hello.¡±
Speak of the devil.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s expression was a little ufortable, but she still nodded back politely. ¡°Hello. What¡¯s up?¡± she asked.
Chapter 287 - He Bought It For Me
Chapter 287: He Bought It For Me

An Zhixin held up the te in her hands and said, ¡°I made a cake and wanted to bring it over for you guys to taste to see if you¡¯d like it. Oh, and what vors do you like? I can make another in a vor you prefer the next time I do.¡±
Seeing her enthusiasm, Mu Xiaoxiao felt obliged to take the cake.
When she took the te in her hands, the aroma of butter wafted over. Coincidentally, this cake was a strawberry-vored one.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face froze for a moment.
How did she know that she liked strawberries?
This was really coincidental.
Or could it be that¡ Yin Shaojie had told her?
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed bitterly to herself.
What was wrong with her; how could she jump to such wild conclusions!
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded at An Zhixin and said, ¡°Thanks. I like this vor. I didn¡¯t expect you to make this.¡±
An Zhixin touched her nose in embarrassment as she said, ¡°I like to eat dessert, but it¡¯s too expensive to buy them from the shops. That¡¯s why I like to buy my own ingredients to make them; I not only save money but also¡¡±
But can also sell them to her ssmates and earn a little pocket money.
She was a little ashamed to admit this to Mu Xiaoxiao, for she felt like this was an embarrassing thing.
Mu Xiaoxiao indicated for her toe in before walking over to the fridge with the te in hand.
¡°Are you good at cooking then?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked offhandedly.
¡°I¡¯m average, I guess. I¡¯m the one who cooks at home, so I learned gradually like that. Oh yeah! I cane and cook for you next time; how about that?¡± An Zhixin said suddenly. She was beaming widely as though she had just found a way to repay them.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned momentarily. She had a feeling that she was about to shoot herself in her foot.
However, she couldn¡¯t reject her at this juncture, could she?
Mu Xiaoxiao put the cake into the fridge before turning around. She was contemting on how to reject her when her gaze fell onto An Zhixin¡¯s clothes.
These clothes¡ Why did they look so familiar?
She hadn¡¯t noticed it when she was standing at the door, but she did now.
An Zhixin was wearing a ck dress. The sleeves and cor were ringed with somece, looking really chic. The fabric looked like it came from a designer brand too.
Mu Xiaoxiao mulled this over. An Zhixin couldn¡¯t afford such clothing with her family background, could she?
She recalled the day she had met An Zhixin. She had been wearing cheap clothes made from bad-quality fabric.
Before Mu Xiaoxiao could open her mouth to ask, An Zhixin had noticed her gaze. She looked down at her own clothes and smiled a little awkwardly. ¡°This was purchased by Shaojie for me. I¡ didn¡¯t have proper clothes to wear.¡±
Her words confirmed Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s guess, and she paled.
It was alright if Yin Shaojie had bought clothes for An Zhixin.
However, why did this dress look like one of the pieces from that pile of ckce clothing that he had bought for her?
Even thought Mu Xiaoxiao had told him that she didn¡¯t like the ckce clothing he had chosen, that jerk, Yin Shaojie, had still bought them all and sent them over.
Mu Xiaoxiao ignored him, of course, and dumped all the clothes in the cloakroom and never touched them again.
It was unexpected to see this familiar dress on An Zhixin today.
After she sent An Zhixin off, Mu Xiaoxiao entered the cloakroom and pulled open thest wardrobe. That was where she had thrown all the ckce clothing in.
Chapter 288 - What Was He Trying to Do!

However, the wardrobe, once brimming with clothes, was now empty. There wasn¡¯t even a single piece of clothing left as though they had just disappeared into thin air.
It was then that Mu Xiaoxiao felt all her blood drain to her feet.
The clenching in her chest was ufortable!
Mu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, tears swirling in her eyes.
Even if she had said that she didn¡¯t like the clothes, he shouldn¡¯t have given them to An Zhixin to wear, right?
That b*stard!
What was he trying to do!
Mu Xiaoxiao cried in anger, her tears falling uncontrobly.
She mmed the wardrobe door shut. She didn¡¯t want to be reminded of this upsetting thing anymore.
She grabbed her bag and rushed out of the house.
¡
At the Hans.
Once Han Qiqing learned of the events from Mu Xiaoxiao, she mmed the table in anger. ¡°What the f*ck is Yin Shaojie trying to do? Isn¡¯t that a**hole simply providing for her every need now? Xiaoxiao, how could you let him do this? Are you an idiot!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had already calmed down. Apart from the redness in her eyes, it was impossible to tell that she had cried.
Upon hearing Han Qiqing¡¯s words, she sighed helplessly and replied, ¡°What can I do? Order him to stop helping An Zhixin?¡±
Firstly, she didn¡¯t know if Yin Shaojie would actually listen to her. Secondly, even if he did, wouldn¡¯t it be her fault if An Zhixin got into trouble?
Han Qiqing thought for a while before nodding. ¡°Oh, if you did that, you¡¯d be the bad guy.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t reply. She gazed ahead at a random spot, her emotions in a mess.
The room was filled with the aroma ofvender, but it wasn¡¯t enough to calm her feelings.
Her emotions got worse with the passage of time.
Suddenly, the peace was broken by a shrill chime.
Han Qiqing nudged her and wagged her brows. ¡°Your phone¡¯s ringing. Could it be Yin Shaojie?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao sat up on her chair but didn¡¯t move her legs, for the both of them were in the middle of a SPA session where the masseuses were massaging the acupoints of their feet.
A domestic helper fetched her phone.
Mu Xiaoxiao took her phone and looked at the screen. The caller was indeed Yin Shaojie.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. She didn¡¯t feel like picking up.
Han Qiqing urged her, ¡°Pick it up! Let¡¯s see how that jerk exins himself out of this. Don¡¯t worry; I¡¯m here to help you!¡±
It was only then that Mu Xiaoxiao took the call.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s bullying tone spoke as soon as she put the phone to her ear.
¡°Where have you been? Didn¡¯t I tell you to inform me when you go out? Where are you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao recalled the incident about the dress and became angry. His voice was making her angrier, and she didn¡¯t want to speak to him at all.
She harrumphed coldly and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to speak to you.¡±
¡°Why?¡± The bullying in Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice toned down as he realized that she sounded odd.
¡°I don¡¯t want to speak to you, and that¡¯s that!¡±
Yin Shaojie chuckled suddenly, ¡°Is it because I¡¯m not home today and you miss me already? Is that why you¡¯re upset?¡±
¡°Scram! Only a ghost would miss you!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao huffed in anger.
How dare he treat her so flippantly now?
Han Qiqing, who had been listening in, raised her brows before making a gesture to Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s masseuse.
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Where are you?¡± Hurry up and tell me; I¡¯lle over right now.¡±
¡°No ¡ª AH!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was going to say there was no need, but the masseuse had unexpectedly pressed on a particr acupoint, causing her to scream out in pain.
¡°What¡¯s wrong? Xiaoxiao?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice sounded anxious through the phone.
In a single motion, Han Qiqing snatched Xiaoxiao¡¯s phone away and terminated the call.

Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked by her action. ¡°Qiqing, what are you doing?¡± she asked uprehendingly.
Afraid that Yin Shaojie would call back, Han Qiqing turned off the phone before smirking at Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°You have to punish him! Let him worry a little like this so that he¡¯ll understand how important you are.¡±
¡°But¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was a little worried. He had been hung up on after hearing her scream, and she wondered how he would feel. Furthermore, wouldn¡¯t he be extremely worried if he couldn¡¯t get in contact with her?
Han Qiqing replied, ¡°But what? Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re too softhearted. If you don¡¯t make your move now, Yin Shaojie will be snatched away by that other woman!¡±
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao said dazedly, ¡°If he¡¯s someone who can be snatched away so easily¡ I don¡¯t want him anymore.
Wouldn¡¯t it be tiring to be in a rtionship where one had to keep tabs on their partner all the time?
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a little tired.
This was not the sort of rtionship she wanted.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyelids drooped. She wanted a unique kind of love, a love that was for her and her only!
If Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t give her such love¡
Then, she wouldn¡¯t want him anymore!
Han Qiqing signaled to the masseuses to wash them up quickly before turning to Mu Xiaoxiao and saying, ¡°Don¡¯t think too much about it. I¡¯ll take you somewhereter. At the very least, give Yin Shaojie the cold shoulder today and wait for him toe and look for you!¡±
¡
In the condominium where An Zhixin was staying.
Upon seeing that An Zhixin had returned, her good friend, Wang Shiyu, hurried forward. ¡°How is it, how is it? Did he eat the cake you made?¡±
An Zhixin¡¯s face fell as she shook her head. ¡°No, he wasn¡¯t at home. It was only Mu Xiaoxiao.¡±
Wang Shiyu frowned. ¡°So you gave the cake to Mu Xiaoxiao?¡±
¡°Yeah, what else could I do? Bring it over and then bring it back?¡± An Zhixin sighed as she talked. She went over to the sofa and sat down. Her entire being had sunk into a gloomy mood because she didn¡¯t get to see Yin Shaojie.
Seeing her like that, Wang Shiyu totally understood the situation.
She teased An Zhixin, ¡°Look at you missing him? Are you deeply anxious now?¡±
An Zhixin said, a little flustered, ¡°What are you talking about! I¡¯m not!¡±
¡°Still denying it?¡± Wang Shiyu sat down beside her. She tugged at the dress she was wearing and said, ¡°He sent someone to deliver this to you just now, didn¡¯t he? You couldn¡¯t wait to put it on. Also, you were smiling so happily when you went to deliver the cake just now ¡ª what about now? Aren¡¯t you feeling down because you didn¡¯t get to see him?
An Zhixin was silent.
Wang Shiyu continued, ¡°Didn¡¯t I teach you? The path to a man¡¯s heart is through his stomach! Your culinary skills are really good ¡ª you should really make use of this and find an excuse to cook for him so that he¡¯ll admire you. Trust me, you¡¯ll be moving upstairs to live with him in no time!¡±
Wang Shiyu smiled suggestively as she said thest sentence.
An Zhixin looked conflicted as she said, ¡°Just now¡ I did mention this, but Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t reply. I think she¡¯s a little wary of me.¡±
¡°Who cares about her? She can¡¯t me you for stealing her man if she¡¯s incapable of keeping him!¡± Wang Shiyu smiled sneeringly. ¡°Also, I think they may not even be lovers. It may even be a one-sided love where she¡¯s forcing her way into staying with him.
There was logic in her words, and An Zhixin seemed to be convinced by her argument.

Upon seeing An Zhixin¡¯s expression change, Wang Shiyu knew that her words had gotten through and leaned forward to hug her arm. ¡°Zhixin, now that a good opportunity has presented itself, you have to seize it and never let go! Even if you have to fight tooth and nail, you have to snag Yin Shaojie for yourself!¡±
An Zhixin looked into her eyes. Her initially wavering heart slowly became determined.
That¡¯s right, she couldn¡¯t lose Yin Shaojie.
And she really didn¡¯t want to lose him either!
¡°Tell me, Shiyu; what should I do then?¡± An Zhixin remembered how protective of Mu Xiaoxiao Yin Shaojie had been. She had been really envious and even couldn¡¯t help to think about how nice it would be if she had been Mu Xiaoxiao then.
Which girl didn¡¯t want to be protected and cared for like that?
Moreover, Yin Shaojie was an influential and gorgeous hunk who not only had a handsome face but also a noble temperament, the paragon of every girl¡¯s dream guy.
Wang Shiyu said jokingly, ¡°You¡¯ve finally admitted that you like him, huh?¡±
An Zhixin lowered her head a little, looking very shy. She gave her friend a yful shove. ¡°Stop teasing me already!¡±
Wang Shiyu said enviously, ¡°Do you know how much influence Yin Shaojie has? He¡¯s extremely popr with the girls! You must have heard of Han Yun¡¯er from Erzhong, right? She was proimed the school beauty of Erzhong just because she had been Yin Shaojie¡¯s girlfriend before!¡±
She shoved An Zhixin back yfully and said, ¡°So, if you can snag Yin Shaojie, the next school beauty of Erzhong might be you!¡±
¡°Stop joking around; I¡¯ll never be school beauty!¡± An Zhixin shook her head as she said.
However, she couldn¡¯t help but remember the time when Han Yun¡¯er had been the school beauty.
It was magnificent!
There had been countless boys curring favor with her, and she was the subject of envy and jealousy of innumerable girls. She was practically a princess.
Wang Shiyu shook a finger at her and said contemptuously, ¡°Do you really think Han Yun¡¯er is pretty? It¡¯s only the result of makeup and clothes! Zhixin, let me tell you that you¡¯re also really pretty, and your countenance looks even better from wearing that designer brand dress especially. To the unsuspecting passerby, you would even look like a rich young missy. So, as long you dress up, you won¡¯t lose out to Han Yun¡¯er.¡±
¡°And of course, not to that Mu Xiaoxiao as well!¡± she added.
An Zhixin, who had previously been unconfident, felt as though what she described was really true from her persuasion.
However, she still pretended to be embarrassed and said, ¡°You haven¡¯t even seen how Mu Xiaoxiao looks like yet though, so how can you be sure that I¡¯m prettier than her?¡±
Wang Shiyu replied, ¡°Actually, appearance isn¡¯t the most important thing. Do you know what really is the most important thing?¡±
An Zhixin shook her head in iprehension and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the most important thing then?¡±
Wang Shiyu smiled suggestively and pointed at her. ¡°The most important thing is your position in Yin Shaojie¡¯s heart, of course! Think about it: you¡¯ve only met him once seven years ago, but he still remembers you. What does this mean? It means that you have a special ce in her heart!¡±
An Zhixin could no longer hide the joy in her eyes as she heard this.
It was really true that outsiders had a clearer view!
Even Shiyu had said it already. Wasn¡¯t it true that she really had a special ce in Yin Shaojie¡¯s heart then?
The corner of An Zhixin¡¯s lips curled involuntarily, and her eyes brimmed with infatuation and longing as she thought of this.

Wang Shiyu shook the arm she was hugging and said affectionately, ¡°When you get together with Yin Shaojie and be the belle of society, please don¡¯t forget about your best friend!¡±
Both embarrassed and joking, An Zhixin said, ¡°There¡¯s nothing between us yet. And it may be that¡ He doesn¡¯t even like me!¡±
¡°How could he not like you! If he didn¡¯t like you, why would he let you stay in such a luxurious condominium? If he didn¡¯t like you, why would he gift you so many designer clothes?¡±
How could Wang Shiyu not know what she was thinking?
It would be impossible for An Zhixin to never have thought of the things she had mentioned earlier. However, she would only be satisfied when it was uttered from someone else¡¯s mouth.
Humans were just like that!
Internally, Wang Shiyu sneered at her, but her face didn¡¯t betray her thoughts. She continued to tug at An Zhixin¡¯s arm warmly and said, ¡°So when you¡¯re together with Yin Shaojie in the future and enter the society of the rich and elite, remember to introduce a rich young master to me, okay? I want one with a handsome face and gorgeous figure! Hehe, then, we will marry into the elite!¡±
¡°You¡¯re thinking too far ahead, aren¡¯t you?¡± An Zhixin smiled, but she was obviously on cloud nine.
¡°It¡¯s not far, it really isn¡¯t! Anyway, this is our agreement, okay! We¡¯re best friends, right?¡±
¡°Of course, we¡¯re best friends forever! Forever and ever!¡±
¡°Yeah, forever and ever!¡±
¡
On the other side of town.
Mu Xiaoxiao had never imagined that Han Qiqing would take her to a coffee shop.
¡°The environment here¡¯s not bad, but it doesn¡¯t seem special.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao surveyed the ce and looked at Han Qiqing in puzzlement.
Han Qiqing craned her neck and pointed at a particr spot. ¡°Look over there.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked towards where she was pointing. When her gaze finally focused on the handsome and austere silhouette, she eximed, ¡°Lu Yichen?!¡±
¡°Keep your voice down!¡± Han Qiqing patted her anxiously.
Mu Xiaoxiao immediately understood that this was where Lu Yichen worked on the weekends.
So, Han Qiqing had brought her here to peek at Lu Yichen?
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry at this. ¡°Can you not¡ You¡¯re behaving like an infatuated idiot, okay?¡±
Han Qiqing propped her chin on the table. Pouting, she said, ¡°What else can I do? It¡¯s only here that I can see him on the weekends.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at her and asked suspiciously, ¡°Could it be that¡ you stay here and stare at him all day long whenever youe here?¡±
Han Qiqing blinked but didn¡¯t answer. However, her expression had already given her away.
Mu Xiaoxiao pinched her forehead in helplessness.
Why did she have such an infatuated idiot for a friend?
Han Qiqing said in a small voice, ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t sit here all day¡ It¡¯s only for half a day. He gets off work at six.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Was sheining that half a day was too short?
How could I have such a love-crazy friend!
The pair were whispering to each other and didn¡¯t realize that that particr handsome and austere silhouette had already walked towards them.
¡°What would you twodies like to drink?¡± A clear maic voice rang out.
Both Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing started at the same time.
Han Qiqing buried her face into the tablecloth embarrassedly, not daring to lift her head.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned back awkwardly and gave a little wave with her hand, pretending to be surprised. ¡°Hello! What a coincidence! So you work here?¡± she said to Lu Yichen.
Lu Yichen gave a little smile. ¡°I thought you came here specially to visit me. Is that not the case?¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao was amused and giggled, ¡°Since when did you start learning to tell jokes?¡±
¡°Uh, recently,¡± Lu Yichen answered seriously.
Unable to control herself any longer, Han Qiqing finally lifted her head. She beamed as she waved at Lu Yichen. ¡°Hello! I didn¡¯t think I¡¯d see you here; it really is a coincidence!¡±
¡°It¡¯s quite the coincidence,¡± Lu Yichen said, nodding. His dark brown eyes, however, held a hint of a smile.
Han Qiqing felt the mysterious feeling of having been exposed.
Could it be that she had already been spotted by him the previous times she hade?
And with her mentioning how coincidental it was, wasn¡¯t it¡
Han Qiqing felt embarrassed to death and lowered her head, not daring to look at Lu Yichen.
Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedly changed the subject to help her good friend out. She smiled as she said to Lu Yichen, ¡°What¡¯s good to drink here? Rmend something for us.¡±
Lu Yichen said as he handed the menu to her, ¡°Um, just look here and see what you¡¯d like to drink; it¡¯s my treat for cheering for me at mypetition.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled. ¡°We already knew that you were going to win, but if you treat us, we won¡¯t dare toe here again.¡±
Just then, a boy wearing the same uniform as Lu Yichen rushed over and said urgently in his ear, ¡°Your phone¡¯s been ringing. I think there might be some emergency; you should pick it up.¡±
Lu Yichen frowned a little upon hearing this. ¡°Okay, thanks.¡± He nodded.
He turned to Mu Xiaoxiao to speak.
Mu Xiaoxiao waved him away, saying, ¡°Hurry up and take the call. You don¡¯t have to serve us anymore; we¡¯re friends anyway.¡±
Lu Yichen nodded and hurried away.
¡°What happened?¡± Han Qiqing only then lifted her head and asked, looking at Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao teased her, saying, ¡°So the shy snail finally decides to poke her head out, huh?¡±
¡°What are you talking about!¡± Embarrassed, Han Qiqing gave Mu Xiaoxiao a light p on the shoulder. ¡°What happened? Why did he have to hurry off so quickly?¡± she interrogated.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know. Apparently, his phone has been ringing incessantly.¡±
Han Qiqing cupped her chin with her hand, her gaze fixated in the direction where Lu Yichen had gone. ¡°Did you see that? He looked so handsome in his uniform!¡± she said dreamily.
She even giggled after she said that. There was certainly no doubt of her infatuation.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Who was this infatuated idiot?
She didn¡¯t know her!
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. Just then, she saw Lu Yichen rush out from the shop, his expression frantic.
¡°Looks like something happened,¡± she said as she hurriedly stood up to follow.
¡°Hey! Wait for me!¡±
When the two of them emerged from the shop, they saw Lu Yichen trying to wave down a taxi. However, because it was the weekend in a bustling business district, it was difficult to get one.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked worriedly at Lu Yichen¡¯s pale face and immediately understood that something really bad had happened.
Pulling Han Qiqing, she rushed over and said to Lu Yichen, ¡°Where are you headed? We have a ride; we can send you over!¡±
At Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s words, Han Qiqing hurriedly waved at her chauffeur, signaling him to drive over quickly.
Lu Yichen met Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes. His deep voice rumbled, ¡°Thank you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao noticed his red-rimmed eyes and choked voice.
She didn¡¯t dare to ask what had happened.
The car drove over in a moment, and the three of them got into the car.
Before she could ask where they were headed to, Lu Yichen blurted anxiously, ¡°To the city hospital!¡±
Chapter 293 - Dont Go
Chapter 293: Don¡¯t Go

Mu Xiaoxiao only knew that something had happened to Lu Yichen¡¯s mum when she arrived at the hospital. She had fainted suddenly while working and had even undergone a period of shock, so she was in critical condition.
When Lu Yichen had finally arrived, Mama Lu had already been out of the operating theater and ced in a ward.
¡°Is my mom okay?¡± Lu Yichen asked a nurse, his face strained.
The nurse replied, ¡°She¡¯s currently alright, but the detailed health reports are with the doctor. Since you¡¯re the patient¡¯s kin, you can ask the doctor for more detailster. Right now, the patient is sleeping, so refrain from disturbing her. It would be best if she wakes up naturally because she needs to rest right now.¡±
After thanking the nurse, he walked over to the bed and looked down at his mother¡¯s face. His gaze brimmed with heartache as he saw how pale it was.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing stood a distance away.
However, this was a multi-patient ward, and the other patients were a little noisy. There was even a couple who had started to argue in frustratingly loud voices. In another bed, a woman was hugging a child who was wailing loudly.
How could anyone rest properly in such an environment?
Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t help but walk up to Lu Yichen and say, ¡°Lu Yichen, I¡¯m familiar with the director of the hospital. May I arrange a single-bed ward for you? It¡¯ll give Auntie a better resting environment.¡±
Lu Yichen shook his head, not looking at her. ¡°No, thank you,¡± he said a little coldly.
Mu Xiaoxiao put on a serious face and turned him around so that he would meet her eyes. She red at him as she said, ¡°Look at this environment. How do you expect Auntie to rest in this noise? The nurse told you that your mom really needs to rest right now. Is your mom¡¯s health more important or your¡ determination?¡±
Lu Yichen looked into her eyes but kept silent.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him resolutely as she asked, ¡°Do you take me as your friend? If you don¡¯t, I¡¯ll leave right now.¡±
She only turned slightly before Lu Yichen grabbed her arm anxiously as though he was afraid that she would walk out of his world forever.
He pleaded in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t go!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao turned back and looked at him. ¡°If we¡¯re your friends, you have to ept our help, okay? You¡¯ll also wish to help me when I need you, right?¡±
Lu Yichen was finally persuaded and agreed to ept Han Qiqing¡¯s help.
In fewer than ten minutes, Mama Lu had been transferred to a luxurious single-patient ward.
Lu Yichen frowned as he said, ¡°A single-patient ward would have done the job; there¡¯s no need for such a luxurious one.¡±
Han Qiqing put on an air of helplessness as she said, ¡°Well, it couldn¡¯t be helped. The rest of the wards were all full, and this was the only one left. It¡¯s fine though. I¡¯m familiar with Uncle Director here. He says he¡¯ll provide it for free.¡±
Lu Yichen looked at her as though he knew she was lying.
His low voice said, ¡°Anyway, thank you.¡±
Even though it made Han Qiqing a little shy, it was rare that he looked directly at her, and her heart leaped with joy.
She smiled till her eyes resembled crescents. ¡°You don¡¯t have to thank me; it wasn¡¯t anything difficult. And I¡¯m really happy to be able to help¡ Auntie.¡±
She had originally wanted to say ¡°you,¡± but was afraid that it would be too obvious and thus changed it at thest second quickly.
Because they were afraid of disturbing Mama Lu, they headed out of the room.
Lu Yichen went to the doctor to get his mother¡¯s health report while Han Qiqing enthusiastically went off to buy food and drinks for everyone.

Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mood wasn¡¯t good today. She went to take a walk downstairs.
When she came back, she chanced upon Lu Yichen sitting on the bench with his head down, looking downcast.
She couldn¡¯t help but feel worried. Could it be that there was something wrong in Mama Lu¡¯s health report?
Mu Xiaoxiao walked over to him slowly. She sat beside him, in no hurry to talk.
Lu Yichen noticed someone beside him and lifted his head to look. His gaze met Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s coincidentally.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s was shocked when she noticed his red-rimmed eyes.
Had he been crying?
¡°Is Auntie¡ okay?¡± she asked worriedly.
Lu Yichen sighed deeply. ¡°The doctor said that she was overworked, and with all thetent damage, she needs an even more thorough checkup.¡±
The tone that the doctor had used hinted that his mom¡¯s situation wasn¡¯t really good.
Lu Yichen didn¡¯t say this out loud, however. There were some burdens he would carry alone.
Mu Xiaoxiao patted his shoulders and looked at him resolutely. ¡°Auntie will be fine, she really will be!¡±
Lu Yichen stared deeply into her eyes. Her dark eyes were the color of ck grapes, and they sparkled as though they were resplendent with stars, looking clear and dazzling¡ They gave him a sense of security.
He stared at her as though he couldn¡¯t look away. His maic voice whispered, ¡°Xiaoxiao, may I hug you for a while?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°Sure.¡±
Lu Yichen¡¯s arms wrapped around her just as the word fell from her lips, holding her in his embrace.
The warmth and fragrance of her body slowly calmed his restless heart.
In the distance, with her hands full of shopping bags, Han Qiqing gazed at this scene with slightly gloomy eyes.
Suddenly, a gust of wind seemed to sh past her.
Han Qiqing eximed, ¡°Yin Shaojie?¡±
Before she could finish her words, a fuming Yin Shaojie had already whizzed past and snatched Mu Xiaoxiao away from Lu Yichen¡¯s embrace before raising a fist to hit him.
¡°Hey ¡ª !¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shouted in rm and quickly blocked his attack.
¡°Let go!¡± The words seemed to be spat from between Yin Shaojie¡¯s gritted teeth.
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him in displeasure. ¡°Are you crazy!¡±
¡°Am I crazy?¡± Yin Shaojieughed coldly. ¡°If I am not mad when I see another man hugging my wife, then I¡¯m not a man anymore!¡±
¡°What nonsense are you sprouting? You don¡¯t even know what¡¯s going on!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao, who was still angry at him, was even more furious now.
Seeing the pair argue, Han Qiqing hurried over and said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°Can¡¯t you understand the situation before resorting to your fists?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao contained her anger at him and looked at Lu Yichen. ¡°You should go up and see Auntie. I¡¯ll exin things to him here,¡± she said gently.
Lu Yichen looked at Yin Shaojie. Knowing that the situation was bound to be messy, he listened to her and left first.
Once Lu Yichen had left, Mu Xiaoxiao shook Yin Shaojie¡¯s hand off.
Yin Shaojie frowned at her action. What was this wretch trying to do?
Shouldn¡¯t he be the angry one?
However, her face was cold as though he was the one who had angered her instead.
¡°Exin to me right now why you were hugging that fellow!¡± Yin Shaojie red at her as he began his interrogation.
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him in fury. ¡°Did I say that I would exin anything to you? I can¡¯t be bothered with you!¡±
She turned and left.

Just looking at the look of him interrogating her made her even more furious.
When he gave away the clothes that she did not want any more to An Zhixin, why did he not inform her?
Yin Shaojie frowned as his tall figure moved forward quickly, and he grabbed her wrist to stop her from walking away.
His slender fingers pinched her chin, forcing her to look straight at him.
¡°Look at me! Mu Xiaoxiao, are you being difficult with me?¡± Like a cheetah, Yin Shaojie¡¯s dark eyes stared at her eyes as if he would not miss any nuance in her expression.
¡°I¡¯m not.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao deliberately acted nonchnt like how he usually did.
¡°How are you not being difficult with me?¡± Yin Shaojie said in frustration, ¡°You hugged another guy, and I¡¯m not supposed to be angry? You¡¯re being unreasonable!¡±
¡°You¡¯re the one being unreasonable!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao could not help but shout back at him, her eyes watery.
Clearly, he was the one who made her upset!
Even if she had hugged Lu Yichen earlier, that was because she wasforting a friend.
But what about how he gave An Zhixin her clothes?
Could he pass the clothes to help a friend because she didn¡¯t want the clothes anymore?
Even if she said that she didn¡¯t want it, they were still what he had bought for her!
It had belonged to her!
How could he do this!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Mu Xiaoxiao did not want to see him or talk to him. She forcefully twisted her hand as she tried to break free.
Seeing her acting this way, his brows furrowed deeper as he said, ¡°Can you stop moving? You¡¯ll hurt yourself!¡±
Han Qiqing, who was watching from the side, was also anxious as she quickly persuaded her, ¡°Xiaoxiao, stop hurting yourself. It¡¯s not worth it to do this for this guy!¡±
Yin Shaojie shot a nce at Han Qiqing.
Carrying two bags in her hands, Han Qiqing shrunk back in fright.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiao gave up, throwing her hands down as she said, ¡°Enough of this! I¡¯m tired! Can¡¯t you let go of me? I won¡¯t walk away, alright?¡±
As she was exhausted and in a bad mood, she did not want to continue struggling with him.
Staring at him, Mu Xiaoxiao changed the subject and asked, ¡°How did you know I was here?¡±
Seeing that she seemed to have calmed down, Yin Shaojie released his grip on her and said, ¡°I guessed that you might be at Han residence so I called to ask.¡±
After confirming that she was at Han residence and had just left, he obtained the chauffeur¡¯s phone number from the butler and found out that they had been to the coffee shop and gone to the city hospital.
He came directly and found her here.
Han Qiqing said, ¡°I¡¯ll bring the food to Lu Yichen first. You two can have a good chat.¡±
She then left, leaving the two of them.
Yin Shaojie had the feeling that there was something weird about Mu Xiaoxiao, so he kept staring at her little face.
Looking back at him, she opened her arms and said, ¡°You¡¯re here to check that I¡¯m safe. Now that you have confirmed it, can you go now? Oh yeah, you wanted an exnation, right? Nothing happened between me and Lu Yichen just now. He was just grieving over his mother¡¯s illness, so I tried to console him. That was it. There is nothing romantic between us.¡±
Unlike a certain someone who was in a dubious rtionship with some other girl and hadn¡¯t given her an exnation.
Mu Xiaoxiao scoffed inwardly.
Staring at her eyes, Yin Shaojie suddenly said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you always want to know why I disliked him previously?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused as he had piqued her interest, and she asked, ¡°Why?¡±
He had always refused to talk about it previously. Was he finally going to talk about it?

His eyes pointing outside, Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Let¡¯s talk in my car. It¡¯s not convenient speaking here.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him suspiciously. ¡°You¡¯re not just trying to get me in the car, are you?¡±
¡°Do you have so little trust in me now?¡± Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes, looking displeased.
Mu Xiaoxiao humphed. Without answering his question, she took the initiative and walked out.
In the car.
She folded her arms at her chest and said, ¡°Tell me quickly!¡±
With both hands on the steering wheel, Yin Shaojie cast a nce at her and said calmly, ¡°You should know that people like us hate illegitimate children from rich families.¡±
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. ¡°What¡ has this got to do with Lu Yichen?¡±
The next moment, her eyes widened in astonishment as she said, ¡°Do you mean that he is an illegitimate child from some rich family? Which one?¡±
¡°You know him too. It¡¯s Gu Pingyuan.¡± Yin Shaojie curled his lips contemptuously.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless as she was in a state of shock.
After some time, she finally found her voice again, her eyes widened as she looked at Yin Shaojie, and she continued to question, ¡°Are you serious? You¡¯re not lying to me? How do you know this!¡±
Even if it was real, it was the Gu family¡¯s private matter. How did he find out about it?
Yin Shaojie humphed and said, ¡°Do you think I¡¯d like to know that? I only found it out unintentionally.¡±
¡°Lu Yichen¡ is Uncle Gu¡¯s illegitimate child?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was still mumbling to herself. Perhaps the news was too hard to digest for her or she was finding it hard to believe it.
Just looking at her expression, Yin Shaojie was displeased as it looked like she still wanted to seek Lu Yichen for confirmation.
Does she not believe what I said?
He said, ¡°In any case, you should stay away from him in the future. The Gu family¡¯s situation is veryplicated. Lu Yichen will also not be a simple character. It may be possible that he will use you in the future.¡±
This girl was so gullible that if she was sold to someone, she might even help them count their money.
He did not want to see such a scene!
Mu Xiaoxiao remained silent. It was unclear whether she had heard what he had said.
She was thinking about Mama Lu. If Mama Lu was Gu Pingyuan¡¯s mistress, then why did she still have to work so hard, even to the point of exhaustion?
That doesn¡¯t make sense!
Moreover, why was Lu Yichen¡¯s surname Lu instead of Gu?
Even if Mama Lu had broken off her rtionship with Gu Pingyuan, she should have gotten some money from him, right? Why were the mother and son so poor?
Mu Xiaoxiao felt that there was something not right with it.
However, she did not ask Yin Shaojie these questions lest they started arguing again.
¡°Okay, let¡¯s go home,¡± Yin Shaojie said as he started the car.
As the thought of An Zhixin came to her mind, she felt stifled again. Then, furrowing her brows as she looked at Yin Shaojie, she said, ¡°Don¡¯t go back to the condo. Let¡¯s go back to the mansion. I feel like seeing Mama Yin and Papa Yin.¡±
Not noticing the difference in her behavior, he thought that it had been a while since she had been to Yin family¡¯s mansion, and his mother had harped about having them go back more often for meals.
He said, ¡°Yeah, let¡¯s have dinner there tonight.¡±
However, Yin Shaojie had not expected that Mu Xiaoxiao would stick closely and affectionately to Mama Yin when she arrived at Yin residence, and she was even reluctant to part when she asked to stay for a few days.
Hearing that from Mu Xiaoxiao, Mama Yin was ted, and naturally, she did not allow Yin Shaojie to take her away.
In the end, Yin Shaojie had no choice but to stay.

One day.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing met to visit Mama Lu at the hospital.
In the afternoon, before the school¡¯s official dismissal time, the two had left through the school gate. Seeing the two, the security guard did not even ask them anything before letting them pass.
The Han family¡¯s car was outside waiting.
When they were almost at the hospital, Han Qiqing remembered something, and she turned to look at Mu Xiaoxiao to ask, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to inform Yin Shaojie? If not, the great young master will get angry again when he can¡¯t find you.¡±
¡°Oh,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao responded tepidly. She then took out her phone not to call Yin Shaojie but to sent him a short text.
¡°Okay, I¡¯ve told him.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said carefreely as she kept her phone.
Han Qiqing was stunned. ¡°That¡¯s it?¡±
¡°What else then? Anyway, he only said that I have to inform him of where I am going. That counts, right?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, appearing unconcerned.
Han Qiqing curiously squinted her eyes as she looked at her and said, ¡°Oh Xiaoxiao, have you been so lukewarm toward Yin Shaojie for the past two days? Are you still mad at him?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao snorted, ¡°He¡¯s not even worth getting mad at!¡±
Han Qiqing was speechless.
They are clearly still at loggerheads with each other!
No wonder Great Master Yin was in a bad mood these past two days. Clearly, it was because Xiaoxiao was being lukewarm toward him.
Finally, they reached the hospital.
Upon reaching the door to the ward, they met the nurse.
With a smile on her face, the nurse cordially reminded them, ¡°Student Lu is not inside. He¡¯s in the doctor¡¯s office.¡±
Han Qiqing stopped in her tracks as she showed Mu Xiaoxiao a meaningful smile. ¡°Xiaoxiao¡¡±
How could Mu Xiaoxiao not understand her intentions?
She waved her hand and said, ¡°Go look for him then. I¡¯ll go in and see Auntie Lu.¡±
¡°Then, you can talk to Auntie first, and I wille back with Lu Yichen to find youter.¡±
With that said, Han Qiqing cheerfully went to find Lu Yichen.
Shaking her head as she smiled, Mu Xiaoxiao pushed open the door and entered the ward.
On the sickbed, Lu Qian was looking out of the window as if she was thinking about something.
As Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated and thought about whether to interrupt her, Lu Yichen turned her head to smile at her and said, ¡°Hello, are you a friend of Yichen?¡±
Mama Mu did not expect that she would know her. Perhaps Lu Yichen had told his mother of her and Han Qiqing in order to exin why he was able to stay in the VIP ward.
She smiled and nodded. ¡°Yeah, my name is Mu Xiaoxiao.¡±
¡°Oh Xiaoxiao,e sit here,¡± Lu Qian called out to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao walked over and pulled up a chair to sit beside the sickbed.
From her appearance, Mu Xiaoxiao felt that she was natural and graceful in her manners, and she did not seem like someone who would be a mistress to some rich person.
The two casually talked about daily life in the family.
Lu Yichen seemed to have caught Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s reservations as she said in a rxed manner, ¡°Is there something you want to ask me? It¡¯s okay; you can just ask. Is it about Yichen?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was visibly awkward. However, since it was a rare opportunity, she picked up her courage to say it.
¡°Auntie, I would like to ask you something. If it is inconvenient for you, you don¡¯t have to reply to me if you don¡¯t want to.¡±
¡°Okay, you may ask then.¡± Lu Qian had a very warm smile that made one feel like getting closer to her.
This was a graceful and gentle woman.
After taking a deep breath, Mu Xiaoxiao then said, ¡°Auntie, do you know Gu Pingyuan?¡±
Upon hearing the name, Lu Qian¡¯s expression stiffened instantly, and her face turned pale.

Mu Xiaoxiao was worried, afraid that she had brought up her sad past.
When she finally snapped out of it, she appeared to be on her guard as she looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, ¡°Do you know Gu Pingyuan? How are you rted to him?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao promptly exined, ¡°I know him, but I only know him as an elder. I don¡¯t have any other rtions with him.¡±
Lu Qian¡¯s expression lookedplicated as she said, ¡°Then, have you¡ found out about something?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pondered for a while. She then nodded honestly and said, ¡°I¡¯ll just tell you straight. My friend told me that he is¡ Yichen¡¯s father. Is that true?¡±
When the truth was spoken, Lu Qian looked wretched as she sighed deeply.
¡°It is true,¡± she replied.
Upon confirming the answer that she had wanted to know, Mu Xiaoxiao became heavy-hearted. ¡°Then, you and Uncle Gu are¡¡±
Is it just as Yin Shaojie had said that Lu Yichen was Gu Pingyuan¡¯s illegitimate child?
Afraid that Lu Qian would be mistaken in thinking that she was being looked down upon, Mu Xiaoxiao quickly exined, ¡°It just seems to me that Auntie is not that kind of person. Is there something that is hard to talk about?¡±
¡°What kind of person?¡± Lu Qian asked uprehendingly.
¡°That is¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao found it hard to say it, the hands twiddling together as she did not know how to express herself.
Lu Qian suddenly understood.
She sneered as if she had heard something ridiculous, and she asked, ¡°Is that how the people of Gu family speak about me?¡±
Hearing anger in her voice, Mu Xiaoxiao immediately spected that it might not be the truth.
She nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s what my friend said.¡±
¡°They have really gone too far!¡± Lu Qian suddenly shouted, her eyes welling up with tears. She wiped them away quickly before they trickled down her face.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that she had done something wrong. She frantically took out tissues to pass it to her as she consoled her, ¡°Auntie, stop crying. I¡¯m sorry. I shouldn¡¯t have asked.¡±
Lu Qian shook her head. ¡°No, it¡¯s not your fault. I should thank you for letting me know about this.¡±
¡°Auntie¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked worryingly at her. Though she was curious about the truth, she did not dare to continue probing in light of the current situation.
Lu Qian calmed down. She looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°Do you want to know what the rtionship between me and Gu Pingyuan is?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head, saying, ¡°Auntie, if you don¡¯t want to talk¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay. It¡¯s not unspeakable. The ones who really don¡¯t want others to know should be the Gu family,¡± Lu Qian said as she gazed peacefully out of the window.
¡°I am Gu Pingyuan¡¯s legal wife. Ah, I should say that I¡¯m his first wife since he and the mistress should have gotten married already.¡±
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened in amazement. ¡°Then, then that means that¡ Auntie, you¡¯re¡ Uncle Gu¡¯s wife?¡±
Lu Qian was not Gu Pingyuan¡¯s mistress that he had kept outside but his wife!
After hearing Lu Qian¡¯s exnation, Mu Xiaoxiao finally understood the whole matter.
As it turned out, Lu Qian was already married to Gu Pingyuan. However, at that time, Gu Pingyuan was fighting for the power within the Gu family with others. Lu Qian was not helpful to his attempt to gain power, but another woman, who had colluded with Gu Pingyuan, could help him. She had evene up with a scheme to drive Lu Qian, who had been pregnant, out of the Gu family.
Not only that, the woman was very malicious. She had even ruined Lu Qian¡¯s family, resulting in the family¡¯s hatred toward her, forcing her to sever her rtionships with them.

Hearing the whole story, Mu Xiaoxiao gasped as she was outraged by the injustice dealt to Lu Qian.
Isn¡¯t this abandoning the wife who had gone through hardships with him!
Mu Xiaoxiao had not expected that Uncle Gu, who did not seem like a bad person in her previous impression of him, was actually such a cruel and unscrupulous person.
Indeed, the truth was always harsher than reality.
¡
Evening, after school, Mu Xiaoxiao had Han Qiqing apany her to the condo, as she had to pick up some things.
Han Qiqing could not help but advise her, saying, ¡°How long do you intend to be at odds with Yin Shaojie? Talk it out and make up with him soon!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to make up with him,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said as they reached the door to the lift.
Han Qiqing sighed and said, ¡°Oh Xiaoxiao, though I also feel that Yin Shaojie had gone overboard this time, I don¡¯t want to see you unhappy all the time.¡±
She felt that Xiaoxiao might as well discuss it clearly with Yin Shaojie. If he really liked An Zhixin, then Xiaoxiao can forever give up on him and forget about it.
Love was selfish. It could not amodate a third person.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her as she exined, ¡°I¡¯m not feeling unhappy because of him.¡±
She was in a bad mood because she had found out Lu Yichen¡¯s real identity.
As it turns out, the adult world is soplicated and so¡ scary.
The lift just happened to arrive, and the two entered it.
However, Han Qiqing could not believe what she hsf said. If she was unhappy not because of Yin Shaojie, then who else could it be?
¡°He always going along with you. At worst, you could just throw a tantrum saying that you don¡¯t like An Zhixin so that she can go back to where she came from.¡±
Just as she finished speaking, the lift reached the first floor, and the door opened.
The two girls who entered were initially chatting happily but cut their chatter upon seeing Mu Xiaoxiao.
An Zhixin was the first to say something as she smiled and greeted Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Hello, are you two just back from school too? Oh yeah, why haven¡¯t I seen you and Shaojie these two days?¡±
¡°Shaojie?¡± Han Qiqing raised her brows. Just the sound of how she was addressing Yin Shaojie was ear-piercing to her.
She immediately realized that the girl before her was An Zhixin.
Han Qiqing scoffed inwardly. Sure enough, she is a disgusting white lotus 1 !
Wang Shiyu¡¯s eyes seemed to be scanning as she looked at Han Qiqing and Mu Xiaoxiao from top to bottom. Noticing that the two girls were wearing the top grade branded items, she became intensely jealous of them.
However, she did not reveal her feelings. With a hypocritical smile, she pulled on An Zhixin¡¯s arm as she said, ¡°Oh Zhixin, is this girl the new friend that you said you had met recently?¡±
An Zhixin nodded, and she took the initiative to introduce them, ¡°This is Wang Shiyu, my best friend.¡±
Before Mu Xiaoxiao could say anything, Han Qiqing had a derisive look as she gestured for Mu Xiaoxiao to stop and folded her arms at her chest, saying, ¡°Xiaoxiao, don¡¯t introduce me. I don¡¯t want to get acquainted with those thick-skinned people who have no sense of shame.¡±
Wang Shiyu was furious upon hearing that. ¡°Who are you talking about!¡±
An Zhixin looked slightly pale.
¡°I¡¯m not talking about you.¡± Han Qiqingughed haughtily as she shot a nce at An Zhixin, saying, ¡°I¡¯m talking about somebody whom if Xiaoxiao had not helped her, she would have been forced into prostitution by her own father. How could she even be enjoying herself in this grand residence and wear brand name clothes then?¡±
Wang Shiyu sneered, and she rebutted loudly, ¡°You are the ones who are thick-skinned! Hrious! She was not even the one who saved Zhixin. It was Young Master Jie who saved Zhixin. What has she got to do with it! Taking credit for yourself. Truly shameless!¡±

¡°Look in the mirror and you¡¯ll know the definition of losing face! Oh wait, you don¡¯t even have a face, so that¡¯s useless,¡± Han Qiqing retorted coldly.
So she wanted to argue with her, huh? Bring it on!
¡°You ¡ª ¡± This was Wang Shiyu¡¯s first time being treated so badly, and she was so furious that she wanted to rush up and hit Han Qiqing.
An Zhixin grabbed ahold of her arm hastily and advised, ¡°Shiyu! Everyone here is a friend; don¡¯t be rash!¡±
Wang Shiyu flew into a rage and pointed at Han Qiqing. ¡°Can¡¯t you tell? This woman thinks we¡¯re too disdainful to be friends with! Yes, we¡¯re poor, and that¡¯s why she¡¯s looking down on us! Do you think that you¡¯re great just because you¡¯re rich? Do you think that you can bully other people just because you have money?¡±
Han Qiqing was amused.
Since when did she bully her? She was the one who was screaming everywhere unmanneredly!
Han Qiqing harrumphed lightly and said, ¡°Not everyone who is rich is great and not everyone who is poor is bad. However, some people are both poor and shameless ¡ª and there lies their gravest mistake!¡±
Wang Shiyu was driven to fury by her words, her face alternating between green and purple. An Zhixin¡¯s face didn¡¯t look too good either.
Mu Xiaoxiao tugged on Han Qiqing¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Alright, that¡¯s enough.¡±
Whatever the case, Yin Shaojie was the one who had arranged for An Zhixin to stay here, so she could be considered a guest. It would be best that they didn¡¯t go overboard.
Of course, she wasn¡¯t afraid that Yin Shaojie would be angry, but rather, she felt that they should still be polite to one another.
Han Qiqing nodded at her and said, ¡°Just let me say onest thing.¡±
She looked towards Wang Shiyu. Wang Shiyu had her battle face on and was ring at her.
Han Qiqing alluringly smiled and swept a nce at the girls. ¡°Didn¡¯t you mention that Yin Shaojie saving her had nothing to do with Xiaoxiao? Let me tell you something then! If it hadn¡¯t been for our good-hearted Xiaoxiao who saw how pitiful you were on that night and kindly called up Yin Shaojie to save you, do you think that Yin Shaojie¡¯s arrival would have been so timely? The most important thing is: If our Xiaoxiao utters a single sentence and tells him not to bother with you anymore, take a guess ¡ª would you still be standing here?¡±
An Zhixin¡¯s face paled as she heard these words. Her lips quivered slightly as though she wanted to deny her words.
Wang Shiyu started up her racket again and rebuked angrily, ¡°Who do you think you are? Why should Young Master Jie listen to you? The people who understand Young Master Jie all know that he doesn¡¯t listen to anyone¡¯s orders!¡±
Even though Wang Shiyu didn¡¯t really know Yin Shaojie, she had heard many rumors about him in Erzhong. She knew that Yin Shaojie was an egotistic man who led life like an unopposed king who could do whatever he wanted. Thus, he was openly despotic, never put anyone in his eyes, and could never be controlled by another!
Thus, what right did Mu Xiaoxiao have to think that a sentence from her could change Yin Shaojie¡¯s mind?
It was absurd!
¡°Ha.¡± Han Qiqing smirked as she wrapped an arm over Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s shoulders. ¡°Sorry to burst your bubble then. Our Xiaoxiao is the one and only person who can get Yin Shaojie to listen to her. Keen to test it out?¡± she bragged.
¡°Game on! Prove it to me then!¡± Wang Shiyu¡¯s expression showed no fear of Han Qiqing as she lifted her chin in a standoff stance.
Just then, the reached its floor and the doors opened.
The uniformed guard had just finished his rounds on this floor and was about to enter the lift. When he saw who was inside, he quickly put on a smile and greeted, ¡°Miss Mu, Miss Han!¡±
Wang Shiyu was shocked when she saw how respectful the guard was behaving towards them. Mysteriously, she started to panic a little.

She said to the guard furiously, ¡°We live here too. Why aren¡¯t you greeting us as well?¡±
The guard knew how to read the mood and instantly understood what was going on.
He forced a smile and replied to Wang Shiyu, ¡°Oh, I remember now. One of you is Young Master Yin¡¯s guest, isn¡¯t it? That would make you Miss Mu¡¯s guest too. Sorry about that. I only have a vague impression of you, so I forgot to greet you.¡±
¡°You ¡ª ¡± Wang Shiyu¡¯s face was dark with fury now.
¡°Shiyu.¡± An Zhixin cautioned her before grabbing her arm and pulling her out. ¡°We¡¯re here, let¡¯s go.¡±
She then forced an awkward smile at Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°Sorry about that. We¡¯ll be going back first.¡±
The lift doors closed.
Wang Shiyu shook her hand off in a rage and said furiously, ¡°Zhixin! Why are you such a coward? Why did you stop me? You should have let me punish those sluts!¡±
An Zhixin sighed, ¡°I¡¯m not a coward¡¡±
Wang Shiyu pulled on her hand and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear what the security guard was saying? He was literally hinting at Mu Xiaoxiao being the hostess while we¡¯re only her guests! I think that Mu Xiaoxiao must have bribed the security guard to say that!¡±
An Zhixin¡¯s expression fell a little. She had obviously heard those words too.
Wang Shiyu continued her tirade, ¡°Pooey! Who is she? She¡¯s only a leech in Young Master Jie¡¯s house, and she already thinks of herself as a host? If I have to say, the person who has the most right to y host is you, Zhixin!¡±
An Zhixin was silent. Her gaze was deep as she stared at the doors of the lift, her thoughts iprehensible.
¡
At night.
At Royal Jazz Bar.
There were only two people in the enormous SVIP room, and they were drinking in silence.
Beside Yin Shaojie sat a charming and unbridled youth. He was drinking unrestrainedly, hitting back ss after ss, but his posture still looked noble and elegant, and he emanated an aristocratic aura.
Ye Sijue put down an empty ss and shot a re at Yin Shaojie. ¡°I¡¯ve juste back and you¡¯ve already dragged me out here to drink ¡ª let me guess: someone broke your heart?¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned and red at him in displeasure. ¡°You¡¯re the brokenhearted one!¡±
¡°Tell me then, what¡¯s going on? It¡¯s my first time seeing you like this. If you didn¡¯t get your heart broken, could it be¡ that you¡¯ve lost your virginity?¡± Ye Sijue¡¯s lips curled mockingly in a smile.
Yin Shaojie ignored him and leaned back onto the sofa. He tilted his head and knocked back an entire ss of wine before speaking faintly.
¡°Remember I told you that I¡¯ve been trying to find a girl?¡±
Ye Sijue nodded. ¡°Yeah. So you¡¯ve found her?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know¡¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s dark eyes seemed a little confused, and his brow was knitted tightly together. ¡°I feel like I¡¯ve been wrong on so many things,¡± he said.
Ye Sijue poured another ss of wine and swirled the red liquid around. ¡°You said you wanted to find that girl because her kiss stirred something in you seven years ago and that¡¯s why you¡¯ve remembered her for so long. But now you¡¯re saying you¡¯ve been wrong¡ So what things are wrong?¡±
¡°How should I put this!¡± Yin Shaojie brushed the hair off his forehead in frustration.
He looked down for a moment and admitted shyly to Ye Sijue, ¡°Did you know, Xiaoxiao came back recently and I¡ kissed her.¡±
Ye Sijue was extremely shocked. His charming blue eyes widened, and he eximed, ¡°What? You¡¯ve kissed her?!¡±
Chapter 302 - Who Was It That Kissed Him Then
Chapter 302: Who Was It That Kissed Him Then
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
It was understandable that Ye Sijue would be so shocked.
Ye family was one of the Big Four Families. Ye Sijue was like Han Qiqing. Thus, they have seen how Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao felt toward each other since they were young.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao had gone to America in these four years and had lesser contact with them.
Thus, when Yin Shaojie suddenly told him at this time that Mu Xiaoxiao had returned to China and that they had kissed, how could Ye Sijue not be shocked?
It was extremely shocking, okay!
Ye Sijue¡¯s interest was roused as he asked Yin Shaojie hurriedly, ¡°How exactly did this happen? You two¡ are together now?¡±
As he recalled the events that happened recently, Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze became distant in thought as he said, ¡°She came back to China for some inexplicable reason. Then, my family forced me to be engaged with her for some inexplicable reason. Then, she started living together with me¡ Then, I have no idea what the status of our rtionship is now.¡±
More than friends, less than lovers?
¡°You two are engaged?¡± Ye Sijue asked.
Yin Shaojie replied, ¡°Yeah.¡±
Ye Sijue was organizing his understanding of the situation, saying, ¡°So what is your problem now? You said that you suspected that you had made a mistake. You kissed Xiaoxiao. That was because you had feelings toward her, right? Now, that girl appeared coincidentally, but you don¡¯t feel the urge to kiss her, right? Thus, you suspect that you have made a mistake.¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡±
Seven years ago, Xiaoxiao saved him from drowning, and he fainted after that. When he had regained some awareness, he felt a pair of soft lips blowing air into his mouth.
When he opened his eyes as he woke up, he saw An Zhixin¡¯s face.
Thus, in his memory, he had associated that kiss with that little girl.
He was still young then, and he did not doubt his own memory, not to mention being able to consider that his head was in a state of confusion which might have led him to remember things incorrectly.
As people grew older, their memory of events when they were young would be remembered by their feelings at the most significant moments, but the details would be blurred.
Ye Sijue leaned back on the sofa as he smiled and helped him toe to a conclusion, ¡°So what you are suspecting is that the person who performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on you seven years ago was actually not that little girl but Xiaoxiao, right?¡±
It was understandable for Yin Shaojie to be acting this way. After all, who would doubt his own memory for no good reason?
He had always believed that that little girl was the one to have kissed him. Thus, he had carried that belief as he grew older.
Only when Yin Shaojie realized that he had feelings toward Mu Xiaoxiao when he had kissed her and also felt no urge to kiss An Zhixin did he start to suspect that he had made a mistake.
Yin Shaojie nodded again contemtively as he said, ¡°Yes.¡±
When the seed of doubt was created in his mind, it was as if it had taken root and was overgrowing as he found the urge to understand the truth from seven years ago.
This time, Ye Sijue smiled mischievously and said, ¡°I¡¯ll give you a suggestion.¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at him. ¡°What suggestion?¡±
Ye Sijue said, ¡°Go and kiss that girl. See what kind of feeling you have toward her and whether it is the same as what you had felt when you were young.¡±
However, upon hearing the suggestion, Yin Shaojie frowned, clearly disliking the idea.
Seeing his expression, Ye Sijue seemed to have understood something as he smiled even more meaningfully.
He said deliberately, ¡°What¡¯s the big deal about that? It¡¯s just a kiss. With that, you can confirm your suspicions. It¡¯s very worthwhile.¡±
Chapter 303 - He Understood His Own Heart
Chapter 303: He Understood His Own Heart
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Yin Shaojie shot a nce at Ye Sijue. How could he not know that Ye Sijue was attempting to provoke him?
Kiss An Zhixin?
Just the thought of it in his mind stirred a strong aversion in him.
He didn¡¯t want to kiss An Zhixin!
The only person he wanted to kiss was Mu Xiaoxiao.
At this moment, the matter could not be clearer in Yin Shaojie¡¯s mind.
Though he could not fully confirm his own suspicions, the scale in his heart was already tilted toward Mu Xiaoxiao.
Displeased, Yin Shaojie red at Ye Sijue and said, ¡°You¡¯re only giving me lousy ideas! Stop trying to provoke me to do it. I¡¯m not so foolish that I can¡¯t even tell who I¡¯ve been thinking about.¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t that enough?¡± Ye Sijue opened his arms, his sinister eyes showing amusement as he said, ¡°You understand your heart. What else is the problem?¡±
¡°But I¡ I¡¯m just worried!¡± Yin Shaojie sighed deeply as he raised his head in frustration.
After all, he had kept the memory of the kiss and the little girl for seven years. How he wished¡ that the girl was Mu Xiaoxiao.
Even if there was just a one in 10000 chance that An Zhixin was the one to kiss him, he would feel great regret.
Perhaps, that was his obsession with love. He wished that he would only have Mu Xiaoxiao in his heart from now until forever.
He hoped that there would not be any other girl partaking in it and leaving a mark.
Ye Sijue¡¯s blue eyes seemed to possess magical power as if he could see beyond the facade when he said wisely, ¡°Even if the girl who kissed you seven years ago was that little girl, so what? What¡¯s important is the present. To whom do you have feelings toward now? Shouldn¡¯t that be what is most important?¡±
Yin Shaojie certainly understood this reasoning. No matter what happened in the past, what was important was the present moment. In the present moment, he had Mu Xiaoxiao in his heart.
However¡
Yin Shaojieughed bitterly as he shook his head and said, ¡°You won¡¯t understand.¡±
What he was concerned about was not the little girl from seven years ago.
What he was concerned about was whether Xiaoxiao was the one who had kissed him. He wanted to know the answer to that because he had hoped that the answer would be Mu Xiaoxiao.
Ye Sijue shook his head and shrugged his shoulders, saying, ¡°Indeed, I don¡¯t understand you passionate folks. Oh yeah, why don¡¯t you ask Xiaoxiao directly?¡±
Hearing that, Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes to look at him and asked, ¡°What if she¡¯s not the one?¡±
Ye Sijue understood and smiled, saying, ¡°You don¡¯t dare to ask her, right? You are afraid that if she is not the one, she will worry and be jealous and forever have a knot in her heart.¡±
That was indeed a problem.
Since it mattered to him, he was even more worried. Even if it was a simple problem like this, he had to be careful.
Gazing contemtively, Yin Shaojie said, ¡°I want to first confirm whether she is the one. If she is the one, then I will talk to her. If not, this matter shall then be buried forever!¡±
Thus, the answer to the problem was very important to him.
Ye Sijue reached out his hand to pat him on his shoulders, saying, ¡°Brother, I wish you the best of luck!¡±
Hopefully, everything will go as you wish.
The two continued to drink. Since Ye Sijue was also one to be able to take on thousands of sses without getting drunk, the two unknowingly drank lots of alcohol.
Since Yin Shaojie had worries on his mind, he drank slightly more than Ye Sijue.
Late in the night, Ye Sijue then called the chauffeur to pick them up.
However Ye Sijue did not know that Ye Sijue was staying at Yin residence currently, and he instructed the chauffeur to send him back to the condominium.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoxiao, who was unaware of the situation, was lying on her bed at the Yin residence. She would check the time every now and then,ining inwardly. It¡¯s already sote. Why is that jerk, Yin Shaojie, still not back yet?
Chapter 304 - She Was Totally Not Waiting For Him
Chapter 304: She Was Totally Not Waiting For Him
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao turned in bed and looked at the time. It was already half past eleven.
She suddenly sat up and hit the nket. ¡°Yin Shaojie! You bastard! You are not out fooling around again, are you?¡±
Thinking back to the first day when she came back to China, he had also been outte at night and had many drinks.
However, the jerk had always been able to hold his liquor well. No matter how much he drank, he could not seem to get drunk.
Clearly, she was still at odds with Yin Shaojie. Recently, she had been treating him lukewarmly, deliberately giving him the cold shoulder.
But when he was not by her side, Mu Xiaoxiao could not help but start to imagine things, wondering what he was up to at this time and who he was hanging out with.
The room was so quiet, making Mu Xiaoxiao even more restless. She lifted the nket and got down from the bed, and she then opened the door and walked out.
It was already quitete, and Mama Yin and Papa Yin seemed to have returned to their room to sleep.
Mu Xiaoxiao reached the living room and sat on the sofa.
Not long after, the butler showed up, smiling as he asked, ¡°Miss, you¡¯re still up sote. Are you waiting for Young Master?¡±
Hugging a pillow, Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and willfully replied, ¡°I¡¯m not waiting for him! I¡¯m just¡ thirsty, so I¡¯m taking a walk.¡±
Without exposing her lie, the butler thoughtfully smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯ll get it for you then. What would you like to drink?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was not too concerned as she waved her hand, saying, ¡°I¡¯m fine with anything. Just get me mineral water then.¡±
The butler then walked toward the fridge and promptly returned with a bottle of mineral water, and he ced it on the coffee table in front of her.
¡°Miss, it¡¯ste. Are you hungry? Would you like me to ask the kitchen to make some supper for you?¡±
Puzzled, Mu Xiaoxiao asked, ¡°I didn¡¯t say I was hungry. Why are you asking me this?¡±
Wearing a gentle smile, the butler said, ¡°I am doing what Young Master instructed. He said that you get hungry easily at night. Thus, he instructed me to prepare supper for you if I happen to see you at night.¡±
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao looked surprised at the butler as she felt a warm feeling sweeping through her heart.
The anger that she had toward Yin Shaojie staying out the whole night subsided slightly.
The butler asked again, ¡°Miss, are you sure you don¡¯t want to order anything for supper?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao did not quite have the appetite to eat. Moreover, she was not hungry. Thus, she shook her head and said, ¡°No need. You can go back and rest. I¡¯ll just be sitting here for a while, and I¡¯ll head back to sleep soon. You don¡¯t have to keep mepany here.¡±
The butler knew that she wanted to be alone to wait for Young Master¡¯s return, so he thoughtfully nodded and said, ¡°Okay, call me if there¡¯s anything you need.¡±
Then, the butler left the living room.
Laying on the sofa, Mu Xiaoxiao opened the bottle of mineral water to drink. The water, which was nd normally, actually tasted a little sweet that night.
She checked the time again. Turning to look at the door, she mumbled, ¡°If youe back before 12 o¡¯clock, I¡¯ll forgive you!¡±
¡
On the other side.
Yin Shaojie was sent to the condo by the Ye family¡¯s chauffeur.
When the car stopped, the chauffeur turned back to look at Yin Shaojie and said, ¡°Young Master Yin, we¡¯re here.¡±
Initially, he had thought that Yin Shaojie was dead drunk, so he had only informed him out of politeness, thinking that he would still have to carry him up the blockter.
Little did he know that when his voice had faded, Yin Shaojie, who was sitting in the back seat, opened his eyes. The ink-like dark eyes slowly turned from tipsy to sober as if he had been awake and not drunk the entire time.
The chauffeur was astonished.
This Young Master Yin¡¯s capacity for liquor is too incredible. He is just like our family¡¯s Young Master. They are both monsters!

However, he was still extremely deferential as he asked, ¡°Young Master Yin, do you need me to help you up?¡±
Yin Shaojie held his forehead with his hand and shook his head. With a low voice, he then said, ¡°No need.¡±
He opened the door and got out of the car.
It was already autumn. The night¡¯s breeze was cool as it caressed his face, taking away the heat caused by the alcohol which made him morefortable.
Upon confirming again that he was not needed, the chauffeur drove off.
Yin Shaojie slowly walked toward the condominium when he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He remembered that Mu Xiaoxiao was not here. She was at the Yin residence. He should have gone there instead ofing back to the condominium.
Though he appeared to be sober, he still had had many drinks. His head was running hot from the alcohol, and he was still slightly tipsy.
It was just that he had gotten used to not showing the weak side of himself to others, so he tried to appear sober.
The only thing that was on his mind was to return home quickly to hug Mu Xiaoxiao as he slept.
Just as he was about to turn back to walk out, a voice beckoned to him.
¡°Shaojie! Why are you back sote?¡± An Zhixin was all smiles as she came out from the condo, rushing over quickly.
Yin Shaojie frowned slightly as he asked, ¡°It¡¯s quitete. Weren¡¯t you sleeping?¡±
An Zhixin thought that he was showing concern for her, and she could not help but burst with joy, smiling sweetly as she said, ¡°I wasn¡¯t sleeping, so I thought to take a walk downstairs. Little did I know¡ I would find you here. It¡¯s a real coincidence.¡±
Actually, it was absolutely not a coincidence.
Instead, the luxurious condominium had a surveince system. One could watch from every apartment the surveince recording of the entrance and the lounge.
As he had not returned to the condo for these few days, she had wanted to see him, so she could only watch the surveince video to await his return.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to go to sleep, she nced at the surveince video and saw him at the entrance.
She then hurried downstairs without even changing out of her sleeping attire.
Seeing that she was in her sleeping clothes, Yin Shaojie did not expose her.
He was just about to leave when suddenly a thought came across his mind, and he stopped in his tracks.
Couldn¡¯t he just ask her about whether she had performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on him seven years ago?
She was just right before him. Why not ask her?
He didn¡¯t dare to ask Xiaoxiao because he was worried that Xiaoxiao might not be the one. He was afraid that she would be troubled by it and it would leave a knot in her heart.
But if he asked An Zhixin, he need not worry about this.
Then, Yin Shaojie stood steadily as he stared at An Zhixin with a deep gaze, saying, ¡°I have something I want to ask you.¡±
Upon hearing his maic and deep voice on this night, An Zhixin felt herself bing drunk.
Why is there a person in this world with a voice that is so sexy and pleasurable?
Moreover, this person was treating her especially well, and he had remembered her for seven years.
Thinking about that, An Zhixin¡¯s heart was racing as she imagined sweetly. Is he going to confess to me or what?
Her face was suffused with a brush of red as she bashfully drooped her head and nodded. ¡°Yeah, okay.¡±
No matter what you ask of me, I¡¯ll agree to it.
Feeling happy and bashful from her imaginations, she waited for him to speak.
In the quiet night, the sounds of crickets could be heard from the thicket nearby. The saffron lights from the streetmps fell on Yin Shaojie¡¯s extraordinarily handsome face, entuating his charm.

Staring at her, Yin Shaojie asked bluntly, ¡°Seven years ago when you saw that I had fainted by theke, did you perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on me?¡±
An Zhixin was stunned, and her reaction was slow.
Obviously, the words that came out of his mouth was nothing like what she had expected, so she was stunned.
Luckily, An Zhixin was not too dense. She snapped out of it quickly, the gears in her head turned, and she immediately understood.
So that¡¯s what it¡¯s about. He mistook me as the one who had performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on him. That¡¯s why he still remembered me after seven years!
At this moment, An Zhixin suddenly recalled.
Seven years ago, she had initially seen two children from afar. Curious as to what they were doing by theke, she walked over to them.
Thinking back now, she seemed to remember seeing that the little girl was bending down at her waist to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on the little boy.
She had seen on television that mouth-to-mouth resuscitation was meant to save people.
When she ran over to them, the little girl had already gone somewhere else.
She then squatted beside the little boy to see if he was alright. When she lowered her head drawing closer to him, he woke up unexpectedly, dazed as he stared at her.
She asked him if he was alright and whether he was injured.
However, he did not reply to her, and he only continued to stare at her.
Later, her mother called her, and she had no choice but to leave. At the same time, she saw that the little girl from before had brought some adults toe over, so she felt reassured as she left.
Little did she know that because of this fateful encounter, she would meet him again seven yearster when she was the one to be saved by him.
The pretty little boy from before had now grown up to be an exceptionally handsome young man, who had asting impression on people and had easily invaded her heart.
Upon clearly understanding the situation, An Zhixin grasped her palm nervously.
Should I¡ tell the truth?
An Zhixin looked timidly at Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes, and suddenly, she felt that his eyes seemed to be able to see into a person¡¯s heart. She became fearful as she did not dare to look into his eyes again.
In her mind, two voices were debating.
One was a weak voice telling her that she should be honest and not take credit for what she did not do.
The other voice was loud, dissuading her against speaking the truth and urging her to say that she was the one who had performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on him.
An Zhixin, think about it. This must be an opportunity bestowed to you by the heavens!
You must not miss this opportunity!
If you admit to it, he will believe you. Who knows, he might even get together with you because of this.
With this thought in mind, An Zhixin gazed at his peculiar poise, and she could only feel that the words ¡®get together with you¡¯ had a magical effect that was making her madly aroused.
All the righteous voices were instantly blocked out.
An Zhixin nervously took a deep breath, and she tried hard to appear unhurried in her response, saying, ¡°Yeah, I did. At that time¡ I saw that you were fainted by theke. Thinking that you were in trouble, I wanted to save you, so I performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on you.¡±
Upon getting his reply, Yin Shaojie knitted his eyebrows tightly as his obsidian-like eyes watched her eyes attentively.
He questioned closely, ¡°Really? Are you sure?¡±
An Zhixin could feel his suspicion.
Is he hesitant because he is doubting me, or is the answer not what he wanted to hear?
An Zhixin¡¯s palms were sweating from nervousness, but she concealed it well as she put on a smile, saying, ¡°Of course it¡¯s true. How can I forget! But if you still don¡¯t believe me¡ it¡¯s okay. I was only passing by and happened to help out. It¡¯s not like I was expecting rpense.¡±

She pretended to be indifferent as though she didn¡¯t care about it.
It would make her seem like she wasn¡¯t expecting any returns from doing a good deed.
He should believe her then, right?
Also, it was natural for the other party to be even more mindful of a person¡¯s kindness when the person denies any reciprocation, right?
An Zhixin twisted her hands anxiously as she awaited his reply.
Yin Shaojie only studied her, his thoughts unfathomable, but he did not say if he believed her.
He only answered mildly, ¡°Yeah, I understand now. Thank you for your reply.
An Zhixin was stunned. She lifted her head and gazed at him, her eyes seeming to question, And then?
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t show any more warmth than he had before she had given her answer. ¡°It¡¯ste, you should go and sleep soon. I¡¯ll be going first. See you,¡± he said in his usual tone.
¡°Uh, wait! You¡¡± An Zhixin hurried forward and looked at him anxiously. ¡°Where are you going? Don¡¯t you live here?¡±
She had wanted to ask him about this for a few days now. Why didn¡¯t she see him around? Where had he gone?
Mu Xiaoxiao had also disappeared along with him. Were they together?
She had many, many questions and was brimming with so much longing.
Now that she had finally seen him, An Zhixin didn¡¯t want him to leave so abruptly.
Yin Shaojie avoided her outstretched hand. His expression seemed a little icy under the cool night sky.
¡°See you.¡± He only uttered these two words and stepped away as if about to leave, but he stopped suddenly and seemed like he remembered something as he turned around and walked towards the condominium.
An Zhixin¡¯s heart swelled with joy. She thought that he wasplying with what she had said and wasn¡¯t leaving anymore.
She hurried to catch up with him. However, Yin Shaojie said not a single word to her as the lift made its way up.
When the lift reached her stop, he didn¡¯t even say goodbye, goodnight, or any parting words to her.
An Zhixin walked out of the lift and stared wide-eyed as the door to the lift shut and Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome frame disappeared by the door crack.
She looked at him with longing. Yin Shaojie¡¯s unpredictability and elusiveness, however, enchanted her even more, increasing her obsession with him.
In the lift.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t notice that An Zhixin had already left, for he had been deep in thought about something.
He exited the lift when it arrived at the top floor. After entering the condominium, he headed straight for the cloakroom in the bedroom.
He sniffed at his clothes and found that they reeked of alcohol. If he returned home like that, Xiaoxiao would be disgusted.
Thus, he picked out a set of clothes and took a shower.
After the refreshing shower, he entered the cloakroom once more.
The cloakroom had two rows of wardrobes. One was for him, and the other was Xiaoxiao¡¯s.
Yin Shaojie walked to thest wardrobe of his row and opened the double doors to it.
In this wardrobe, which was originally supposed to be his, it was filled with women¡¯s wear, all with ckce. This was all the clothes that he had bought despite Xiaoxiao¡¯s protests. Not one was missing.
If Mu Xiaoxiao was here right now, she would be very puzzled. Why were the clothes he had supposedly gifted to An Zhixin in his wardrobe?
Yin Shaojie turned around, walked towards Xiaoxiao¡¯s wardrobe, and opened it.
The wardrobe had nothing in it and was empty. It looked exactly like that time when Xiaoxiao had opened it, just that she hadn¡¯t known that the clothes that were originally here had been moved to Yin Shaojie¡¯s wardrobe.
Yin Shaojie gazed at the empty wardrobe as his thin and sexy lips curled up in a mysterious smile as though he was nning an interesting surprise.

If he knew how Xiaoxiao had looked like when she had opened this wardrobe earlier, he wouldn¡¯t be smiling right now.
However, Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t know that Xiaoxiao had already found the empty wardrobe.
Yin Shaojie fished out his phone and made a call to his assistant.
Even though it was already veryte, the assistant still picked up the call immediately, and before Yin Shaojie could even open his mouth to speak, he already started his report to Yin Shaojie automatically.
Young Master Jie, I¡¯ve already delivered the clothes that you¡¯ve asked me to purchase for Miss An. She says she likes them a lot.¡±
Yin Shaojie was not interested in his report on this matter.
He had instructed his assistant to purchase clothes for An Zhixin only because he had noticed that her clothes looked old and torn and felt that it was polite to do so.
Thus, he absolutely didn¡¯t care what type or how many pieces of clothes his assistant had bought for An Zhixin.
Yin Shaojie interrupted his assistant and said, ¡°Expedite the batch of custom-made clothes from Italy. I want it delivered ASAP, the faster, the better.¡±
¡°Got it! I¡¯ll call them right now! Young Master Jie, are there any more instructions?¡± The assistant had enough tact not to mention anything else regarding An Zhixin.
He had originally thought that An Zhixin was Young Master Jie¡¯stest girlfriend, so he had brought her up.
However, it seemed that Young Master Jie didn¡¯t care for An Zhixin from his earlier tone of voice. It seemed like buying the clothes for her was only out of etiquette.
He thought about it and realized that if Young Master Jie had really cared, he would have personally taken her on a shopping trip and not instructed his assistant to take care of the matter.
The assistant had been with Young Master Jie for many years now, and could of course understand the implication of Young Master Jie¡¯s every word and action.
Him calling at such ate time to ask him to expedite this order of clothes showed that the recipient of these clothes was extremely important to Young Master Jie.
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Rush them a few more times and get them to send it in as fast as possible!¡±
After hanging up, Yin Shaojie studied the empty wardrobe again. His eyes shined as he thought about how pleasantly surprised Xiaoxiao would be when those clothes filled this wardrobe up.
¡
Click.
The door opened.
When Yin Shaojie finally reached the Yin¡¯s mansion, it was past midnight.
Just as he was wondering if Mu Xiaoxiao had already gone to bed, he saw the butler appear out of nowhere and make a shushing motion while pointing to the sofa in the living room.
The butler whispered, ¡°The Miss had been staying up for you, but she fell asleep while she waited.¡±
Yin Shaojie was surprised and his lips curled up in joy. ¡°She was waiting for me?¡±
The butler nodded and reported dutifully, ¡°The Miss even ran to the door a few time, mistakenly thinking that you had finallye home, but every time she saw that it wasn¡¯t you, her face fell.¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s smiled deepened as he said to the butler, ¡°Got it. You should rest now.¡±
The butler read the mood and left.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s twirled his car keys around his finger as he walked towards the sofa slowly. He squatted down and stared at Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face.
The girl seemed to look a little unhappy as she slept, for her brows were still a little knitted.
Yin Shaojie reached out with a long finger, intending to smoothen out her brow. Unexpectedly, Mu Xiaoxiao waved her hand and hit it away.
He smiled helplessly. He noticed that her lips were moving as though she was muttering something.
He leaned his ear forward and heard her mumble, ¡°Yin Shaojie, you jerk¡¡±
He smiled bitterly. Did she have to be angry at him even in her dreams?

Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face leaned forward and gave her lips a peck. ¡°I¡¯m home; you¡¯ve waited long.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little lips pouted as thoughining about howte he wasing back in.
Yin Shaojieughed lightly. He stretched out his long arms and picked her up by her waist.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t wake up but rested her little head on his shoulder, his eyes still shut. Once settled in that position, she curled up in his embrace and continued her slumber.
He carried her into the bedroom gently.
The lights in the room were switched off, and it was dark. However, Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t feel like turning them on for fear of waking her up. Instead, he guided himself by the faint light of the hallway, groping his way to the bed. Once there, he put her down gently, making sure she was settled properly.
He pulled up the nkets to her stomach and was about to straighten up properly when her little arms wrapped around his neck suddenly, preventing him from leaving.
Yin Shaojie also thought he heard her tell him not to leave.
He lowered his head, his handsome face moving closer to hers, and he said in a gentle, coddling voice, ¡°I won¡¯t leave; I¡¯m not going anywhere, but I¡¯m just going to change into pajamas and I¡¯ll be right back, okay?¡±
His maic voice seemed to have a pacifying effect. Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to understand what he was trying to say, and she released him.
Yin Shaojie smiled. If he didn¡¯t know that she was indeed sleeping deeply, he would have mistaken her for pretending to be asleep.
In a few short minutes, he was clothed in his pajamas and already getting on the bed.
His muscr arm reached out and gathered her in his embrace.
Upon snuggling into afortable position on his chest as per habit, she leaned her face into it and continued her slumber.
Curiously, however, she frowned again, as though she was unhappy about something, and lifted her face.
The pair were originally already very close to each other, and this action of hers practically positioned her lips right by his.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze deepened.
Wouldn¡¯t it be a waste to give up a dessert that was delivered right to his door?
He wasn¡¯t an uptight gentleman in the first ce anyway, so how could he not kiss her when she had already offered her lips?
Thus, Yin Shaojie leaned forward for a kiss, taking Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s soft, jelly-like lips into his mouth.
The aromatic fragrance of the young girl entered his nostrils, and the sweetness made his heart uncontrobly itch for more.
Yin Shaojie flipped around and pinned Mu Xiaoxiao onto the bed. His hands cupped her face as he deepened his kiss.
He pried her mouth open and snaked his hot, wet soft tongue into her sweet orfice, wantonly licking all the spots that would pleasure her.
After a few kisses, his technique had improved considerably, and he gained a deeper understanding of where her pleasure spots were.
Just as he had expected, Mu Xiaoxiao started to moan sweetly. Her hands caressed his chest in a dilemma ¡ª it seemed as though she wanted to push him away but couldn¡¯t bear to at the same time because of the strong arousal she was feeling.
Yin Shaojie entwined her soft little tongue with his, rolling it round and round as though he couldn¡¯t have enough of her.
The soft sensation was felt better than the mouth-feel when eating jellies, and he enjoyed himself so thoroughly that he forgot to stop.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt like she almost couldn¡¯t take his kissing anymore. Her mouth was full of his masculine scent as he lingered there tyrannically, such that the only thing she could feel was him.
When one is asleep and is harassed by something, one will usually be frustrated. Thus, she unconsciously waved her hands around to p him away.
Yin Shaojie grabbed onto her hand with his speedy reflexes and used the momentum to pin it above her forehead.
He then kissed her again deeply, and again, and again as though he couldn¡¯t be satiated.
Chapter 310 - She Only Has Eyes For Him
Chapter 310: She Only Has Eyes For Him

Under his incessant attacks, Mu Xiaoxiao finally woke.
Her long and fluttery eyshes blinked, and she opened her blurry eyes to see him very close to her.
Yin Shaojie?
How did he¡
Perhaps she was still muddleheaded from sleeping, wasn¡¯t quite awake yet, or was kissed by him into oblivion, but she couldn¡¯t understand what was going on.
She looked at him wide-eyed and in confusion and had no other reaction.
Yin Shaojie thought that she looked cute as h*ll. And he didn¡¯t mind going to h*ll to see this.
Also, because they were only separated by such a short distance, he could almost see himself reflected in her eyes. This made his tyrannical self feel satisfied.
He was the only one in her eyes!
Worried that she couldn¡¯t get air, Yin Shaojie moved back a little and parted his lips slightly, allowing her to breathe.
Unexpectedly, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little brow knitted as if she was displeased. Her little hands grabbed onto his neck and pulled him back towards her.
Yin Shaojie was stunned. He had thought that she would be angry or hit him once she was awake.
After all, this girl really loved her sleep and would re up a little when she was forcefully awakened.
Her passionate reciprocation didn¡¯t exist in the infinite possibilities of his imagination.
The pairs¡¯ lips met again, and this time, it was Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s initiative.
Her kiss was very clumsy, like how a little kid would do it. Her sealed lips stroked his gently but with no technique, fumbling around.
However, Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze only deepened and became more heated at her clumsiness, and his breathing became rougher.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly became displeased after kissing him for a short while and pouted as though she wasining.
Yin Shaojie lowered his head and noticed her dazedness. It was then that he suspected that she was still not awake.
This girl didn¡¯t even realize what she had been doing!
She was totally oblivious to the fire of desire that she had lit in him.
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her gaze and looked at his handsome face. Her hands reached out and cupped his face. ¡°Yin Shaojie, if you don¡¯te home before 12, then I¡¯ll¡ I¡¯ll¡¡± she mumbled softly.
¡°Then what?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s maic husky voice asked as his lips moved closer and pecked hers lovingly as she tried to speak.
So it turned out that this girl was still thinking that she was dreaming?
¡°Then I¡¯ll ignore you in the future!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao huffed and said.
¡°Uh-huh, and how are you going to ignore me?¡± In the darkness, a particr demon¡¯s interest was piqued, and his voice dropped to a sexy, muffled whisper.
It was really cute when this girl¡¯s brain was muddled.
When she was wide awake, she fiercely acted fierce towards him, not like a demure woman at all.
It was rare to see this cute side of her, and Yin Shaojie really didn¡¯t feel like reminding her that she wasn¡¯t in a dream and that he was really home and already back by her side.
Mu Xiaoxiao mumbled in reply, ¡°I¡¯ll ignore you and not talk to you anymore.¡±
¡°Only that?¡± Yin Shaojieughed and his chest shook a little.
Mu Xiaoxiao met his eyes. That pair of dark, obsidian eyes looked like they were sparkling with stars. Their mesmerizing look drew her in.
¡°Next time¡ I¡¯m not letting you kiss me anymore¡¡± she pouted as she continued.
This time, Yin Shaojie¡¯sughter deepened.
So this girl had been very willing to let him kiss her then?
It looked his previous efforts hadn¡¯t gone down the drain.
She had feelings towards him, and her feelings weren¡¯t those felt towards a childhood friend. Her feelings towards him were the same he had for her ¡ª the most unique affection for one another.

He smiled till his eyes resembled crescents, and his handsome face drew near to hers. The distance between the pair was so close that his sexy lips looked as though they could kiss her at any moment.
¡°Are you really not letting me kiss you anymore?¡± he asked deliberately. His low voice sounded so mellifluous that it could move a person.
Mu Xiaoxiao was naturally drawn to pleasant voices, and upon hearing his mesmerizing voice, she could feel her heart beat much faster.
Strange. Wasn¡¯t she dreaming?
Why did her heartbeat feel so real?
Also, his distance from her and the warm, almost hot breath on her cheek felt so real, not as if she were in a dream.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. It was only then that she was vaguely aware it could be that¡ she wasn¡¯t having a dream?
She pushed him away forcefully, and feeling for the bedsidemp, she turned it on to the brightest level with a m.
The originally dark room suddenly filled with light.
Mu Xiaoxiao closed her eyes from the blinding light. When she finally got used to it, she tried to open her eyes but suddenly¡
She heard a sexy voice very close to her, and it even held a hint of a smile.
¡°Wifey, you aren¡¯t dreaming.¡±
With that said, soft lips sealed her little mouth.
Mu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes in astonishment. Because her eyes had already adjusted to the brightness, she saw Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face right in front of her.
She really¡ wasn¡¯t dreaming!
The touch between their lips felt so real. She even felt a jolt of electricity run through her heart, causing her entire being to feel numb. She couldn¡¯t help but quiver lightly.
Yin Shaojie ignored her wide-eyed stare and pried her teeth apart again. He then pushed his hot tongue into her cavity, sucking her sweet honey from her little mouth more intensely than before.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t even speak in protest. Her entire mouth was filled with his scent, and it was forcefully dominating, causing her to be unable to escape.
Her tongue was entwined in his as he sucked and licked it, unyielding.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hands were ced against his chest. She had originally wanted to push him away but seemed like she couldn¡¯t bear to do so as her strength dwindled.
The kiss went on for a while and Mu Xiaoxiao felt like her lips were going numb. However, this jerk had no intention of stopping.
She wondered if he had eaten Stride and thus couldn¡¯t stop?
¡°Enough, oi!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pped his shoulder, finally finding a gap in his kissing and protesting sessfully.
Realizing the situation, Yin Shaojie finally let go of her.
The pair was breathing roughly. However,pared to her, he was still much calmer, and the corner of his mouth was even curled up in a devilish smirk.
¡°Jerk! Pervert!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao panted as she swung her arm to hit him.
Yin Shaojie, however, rascally caught her iing hand and pulled it forward for a kiss.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face reddened.
She wanted to retract her hand, but it was being held so tightly by him that she couldn¡¯t do so. He continued to kiss it, moving from her hand and traveling upwards.
She shouted shyly, ¡°Hey! That¡¯s enough for you!¡±
What was he trying to do?
Was he trying to kiss her whole body?
This thought had only shed in her brain momentarily, but Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face and ears blushed madly, and her heart beat even wilder than before.
Yin Shaojie finally lifted his devilishly charming face, his gaze locking onto her blushing little face.
However, his mouth uttered another embarrassing sentence.
¡°It¡¯s not enough; how can it be enough?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly reached out and pinched his face. Pulling on it, she said huffily, ¡°Are you a Yin Shaojie impostor? Why are you saying such sweet nothings to me?¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
If she heard him say another embarrassing word, her heart would definitely beat so quickly that it would explode.
She quickly pushed him away to escape from this suggestive atmosphere.
Yin Shaojie was not going to let her escape as he grabbed her slender waist from behind her, his slender lips sticking close beside her ears as he said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with saying sweet nothings to my wife?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pushed against him with her elbow. ¡°Who¡¯s your wife! Get lost! Weren¡¯t you fooling around outside? Why did you evene back? Go away! Go away! Don¡¯t think about sleeping here tonight! You¡¯re sleeping on the sofa!¡±
Yin Shaojie was unsure whether tough or cry. Was he going to be punished from just a single disagreement?
He immediately hugged her even tighter as he did not wish to sleep on the sofa.
He then exined, ¡°I wasn¡¯t out fooling around! Sijue came back and pulled me along to drink with him. You should me him instead! He forced me to!¡±
At this time, he should, of course, push the me to someone else.
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao stopped moving, and she turned back to look at him and asked, ¡°Ye Sijue? That guy? He¡¯s back?¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded. ¡°Yeah. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can call him. You don¡¯t have his number? Well, you can use my phone to call him. Otherwise, you can give a call to the Ye residence. He only got off the ne at seven o¡¯clock at night.¡±
He was immediately called out to have drinks right after Ye Sijue got off the ne.
Mu Xiaoxiao believed what he had said. If he wanted to lie to her, he wouldn¡¯t havee up with such lies.
It simply did not seem right chatting in this posture, so Mu Xiaoxiao nudged him so that he would release her.
¡°You cannot run, okay? You cannot punish me to sleep on the sofa either.¡± Yin Shaojie took the chance to bring up his terms.
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him as she nodded.
Yin Shaojie then smiled as he released her, and the two sat face-to-face.
As Mu Xiaoxiao recalled the kiss earlier, her face flushed uncontrobly. His expression as they looked facing each other felt like he was going to eat her up.
¡°Okay, time to sleep!¡± She turned around to switch off the lights by the bedhead and got under the nket.
Yin Shaojie immediately got under the nket as well, and he reached for her slender waist with his long arms and hugged her under the nket.
¡°Hey, what are you trying to do again? Let go!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pped his vile hand. She just got aroused from his kissing earlier, and her body was still in a sensitive state. As he touched her, she began to feel the area that was being touched burning up.
Yin Shaojie said mischievously, ¡°I¡¯m hugging my wife to sleep. What¡¯s wrong with that?¡±
Moreover, he had even deliberately stuck his slender lips close to her ears as he said that. The deep, tititing voice that reached her ears made her heart go soft.
Mu Xiaoxiao had never thought that this jerk could be so roguish!
Her heart was not just beating excitedly; it was totally acting off the charts.
It was no concern to Yin Shaojie as he stubbornly wanted to hug her to sleep. He was even coquettishly rubbing against her while hugging her, but he just wouldn¡¯t let go.
Though the two had always hugged each other in their sleep, that was only the posture when they were waking up. Whenever they slept, they always started out separately. Only when Mu Xiaoxiao had fallen asleep would she dig herself unconsciously into his embrace. Thus, they would find themselves in a hugging position when they woke up.
Baffled, Mu Xiaoxiao asked, ¡°Yin Shaojie, what¡¯s gotten into you? Why are you so full of energy today?¡±
He seemed particrly clingy tonight and especially roguish!
Was he just drunk?
Why did it seem like he had eaten some dubious things to be acting like that?
Mu Xiaoxiao was berating Ye Sijue in her mind. It¡¯s all his fault. If he had not forced Yin Shaojie to drink with him, Yin Shaojie would not be so roguish right now.
Chapter 313 - Turned into a Loyal Dog
Chapter 313: Turned into a Loyal Dog
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Back at the Ye residence.
Ye Sijue, who just walked out of the shower, sneezed suddenly.
The female servant who stood at the side expressed her concern, saying, ¡°Young Master, are you alright? Have you caught a cold?¡±
Ye Sijue smiled sinisterly, and he mumbled as if he had a premonition, ¡°Is someone speaking badly about me?¡±
On the other side.
Having heard Mu Xiaoxiao, Yin Shaojie smiled. Not only did he not let go of her, but he also hugged her closer.
cing his chin on her neck, he said in a maic voice, ¡°It¡¯ste. Let¡¯s sleep. I¡¯m also very tired.¡±
With that, he retracted his arms slightly and closed his eyes.
Tired of resisting him, Mu Xiaoxiao could only let him hug her as she slowly fell asleep.
¡
The next day.
Han Qiqing met Mu Xiaoxiao at the school¡¯s parking lot.
Seeing that Xiaoxiao had arrived in Yin Shaojie¡¯s car instead of the Yin family¡¯s car, she went up and hugged her arm as she asked meaningfully, ¡°Have you made up with him?¡±
Shooting a nce at Yin Shaojie from the corner of her eyes, Mu Xiaoxiao said softly in a tsundere manner, ¡°Who¡¯s making up with him!¡±
Unless he would take the initiative to be forting about the matter regarding the clothes, she would not forgive him.
After all, he had bought the clothes for her, so the clothes belonged to her. Without her permission, he should not have passed her clothes to someone else.
Especially if he was giving it to An Zhixin.
That was the point that Mu Xiaoxiao was most concerned about.
Noticing from a quick nce that Yin Shaojie was about to step out of the car, she quickly pulled Mu Xiaoxiao aside to speak privately.
¡°Xiaoxiao, for this afternoon¡ Can you apany me to the hospital again?¡±
Mama Mu knew that she wanted to see Lu Yichen again. Recently, Lu Yichen had not been to school, taking a leave of absence because of her mother¡¯s hospitalization.
She knew that Qiqing wanted her to go along because Qiqing was afraid that Lu Yichen would not meet her if she went alone.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, ¡°Of course.¡±
Relieved, Han Qiqing smiled and hugged her affectionately, saying ¡°Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re the best!¡±
Holding the keys as he approached, Yin Shaojie looked curiously at the two girls and asked, ¡°What are you talking about?¡±
Han Qiqing said nothing, acting dumb.
On the contrary, Mu Xiaoxiao said openly, ¡°We¡¯re going to the hospital to see Lu Yichen¡¯s mom in the afternoon.¡±
Han Qiqing stared at her, astonished. Wasn¡¯t she always afraid to let Yin Shaojie know about that? Why was she so bold today?
She thought that Yin Shaojie would get angry and stop Xiaoxiao from going like a tyrant.
However, though Yin Shaojie frowned slightly, he did not get angry and only said begrudgingly, ¡°Okay then, go ahead if you like. But let me take you there, alright? Is that fair?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll think about it, then I¡¯ll inform you again.¡± Raising her chin, Mu Xiaoxiao was acting like a princess, pulling Han Qiqing as they walked toward the hallway.
Han Qiqing looked at Mu Xiaoxiao in disbelief.
¡°Did Yin Shaojie hurt his head? Or did you feed him some drug? Why is he¡ so agreeable today?¡±
He was totally a tyrannical boss turned loyal dog!
¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled gleefully.
It was afternoon in a sh.
Before school dismissal, Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing were already holding hands as they walked out of the school gate.
In the car, Han Qiqing was puzzled as she asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t Yin Shaojie say that he was going to send us there?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled innocently with her hands open as she said, ¡°I only said that I would think about it. I never agreed to have him send us.¡±

Han Qiqing had not expected that she would use such a trick, and she felt bad for Yin Shaojie.
¡°Aren¡¯t you worried that he will get angry?¡±
¡°Oh yeah.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to have remembered something. She took out her phone and sent Yin Shaojie a short text.
Curious, Han Qiqing poked her head to see what she had sent. When she saw the message, she was stupefied.
Unsure whether to cry orugh, she said, ¡°Never mind that you are not letting him send you, but you¡¯re even notifying him to reject his help?¡±
¡°I¡¯ve already told him that I will consider it and notify himter. So now I¡¯m notifying him,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said as if there was nothing wrong with it, but her smile seemed to hide mischief.
Finally, they reached the hospital.
However, when they walked up to the entrance to the ward, they were met with thedy nurse again who informed them that Lu Yichen was not around.
¡°Then, is he with the doctor again?¡± Han Qiqing asked hurriedly.
Thedy nurse shook her head and said, ¡°Oh no. I don¡¯t know where he went.¡±
¡°Then, what time did he leave?¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry. I did not take note of that.¡±
When thedy nurse left, Han Qiqing looked at Miss Qiqing and asked, ¡°Where do you think he would have gone?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought and said, ¡°Could he have gone out to buy something? Or perhaps he could have gone back home?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll look around then.¡± Han Qiqing said, and she walked out.
ncing at the door, Mu Xiaoxiao said to her, ¡°You go ahead and find him. I¡¯ll go see Auntie Lu.¡±
¡°Okay!¡± Han Qiqing replied in a hurry as she quickly went downstairs.
Mu Xiaoxiao pushed open the door and entered the ward.
Lu Qian had just eaten lunch and was about to rest. As the door opened, she instinctively looked toward it to see Mu Xiaoxiao, and she smiled.
¡°You¡¯re here to visit me again?¡± she said, smiling gently.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded as she walked to her side, and she asked her pleasantly, ¡°Auntie, are you getting better?¡±
However, upon hearing that, the smile on her face gradually faded.
¡°Auntie¡¯s health¡ isn¡¯t quite good.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at her, startled.
¡
Twenty minutester.
Mu Xiaoxiao appeared to beden with grief as she came out of the ward, closing the door gently behind her.
Turning back and ncing at the ward, her eyes welled with tears.
Lu Qian¡¯s words from earlier echoed in her mind.
¡°Though I don¡¯t know how much longer I can endure this, I don¡¯t wish to see Yichen begging that person for money. Yichen is a proud kid, and he hates that person. He wouldn¡¯t go to him for money even if it would kill him. But if it was for me¡ he might go¡ I don¡¯t want him to put down his own dignity to beg that person. I would rather die myself than to let him¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao could only feel a wrenching pain in her heart as if there was a stone weighing down on her.
Initially, she came to see Auntie Lu in good spirits, but she had never expected to learn of such a cruel truth.
At this moment, her cell phone rang.
It was Han Qiqing calling.
¡°Xiaoxiao, I can¡¯t find him outside. Could he be back at the ward already? Are you still upstairs?¡±
¡°I¡¯m¡ I¡¯m not there. I already came down.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was afraid that she would not be able to hide her emotions from Han Qiqing as Auntie Lu had urged her not to talk about it to anyone.
Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao had lied and told Han Qiqing that she had already left.
Afraid that she would bump into Qiqing, she quickly went down using the rear staircase and exited the ward building.
However, just as she was walking in front of awn, she saw Lu Yichen.

Lu Yichen was helping an olddy cross the road. It was unclear what they were talking about, but there was a gentle smile on his face.
At this moment, an old man came walking by, and he took the olddy¡¯s hands from Lu Yichen. He seemed to have nodded his head to thank him, and he carried on holding the olddy as they slowly walked forward.
Seeing Lu Yichen sit at a long bench, Mu Xiaoxiao walked over to sit beside him.
Slightly astonished, Lu Yichen stared at her, and Mu Xiaoxiao smiled back at him.
She asked, ¡°Do you know that olddy?¡±
Lu Yichen shook his head and said tepidly, ¡°I don¡¯t know her.¡±
It turned out that the olddy was staying at the hospital because her legs and feet were not well. Every day, she woulde downstairs after meals to move about for rehabilitation, apanied by her husband.
When Lu Yichen was taking a walk downstairs with worries on his mind, he met the two old folks. He then casually helped the olddy to let the old man go and buy something.
Lu Yichen smiled and said, ¡°The olddy was quite the glutton. She just had to eat that thing, so the old man had no choice but to buy it for her.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked toward the direction of his gaze, watching the two old folks be very loving toward each other, receiving the envious gaze of onlookers.
She noticed that his eyes were hiding deep sorrow. Perhaps it had made him think about his mother and Gu Pingyuan.
Initially, she found it odd that Auntie Lu was staying in the hospital for so long if she only suffered from overworking.
She had only just found out that, actually, Auntie Lu¡¯s condition was not that simple.
Mu Xiaoxiao was hesitant. She did not know whether to speak to Lu Yichen about this matter. Perhaps he did not even want other people intervening.
In the end, she did not probe into the matter.
¡
At night.
At Royal Jazz Bar.
For Ye Sijue¡¯s return to China, Song Shijun had invited everyone out. He said that it was meant to wee Ye Sijue back, but it was just an excuse to gather everyone out to have fun.
Naturally, Mu Xiaoxiao came together with Yin Shaojie.
Initially, she had been reluctant toe to the bar because she simply did not enjoy the deafening music that they yed.
However, when they entered the bar this time, there was no ear-piercing heavy metal music but only melodious, sentimental blues music.
Mu Xiaoxiao wondered if she had walked into the wrong bar.
Han Qiqing, who was sitting on the sofa, saw that she hade. She then approached her excitedly and hugged her arm. ¡°Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re finally here!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was still looking at the sound system, puzzled as she wondered what was going on.
As if she knew what was on her mind, Han Qiqing said beside her ear while smiling, ¡°Are you wondering why the music has changed? Actually, it¡¯s all ording to Young Master Jie¡¯s orders.¡±
Initially, this ce was a wild bar full of debauchery, but now it had be a graceful, sentimental pub.
It was all thanks to Great Master Yin¡¯s powerful orders.
Actually, people like Song Shijun were ustomed to loud music in bars, and they were not used to blues music.
They had no choice but to go along with it since it was Great Master Yin who demanded it.
Otherwise, if Mu Xiaoxiao was not attending, Yin Shaojie would also not be attending. What would be the point of the gathering then?
Mu Xiaoxiao went to take a seat, and she shot a re at Ye Sijue, who was sitting at the other side.
Ye Sijue felt her unfriendly re, and he was puzzled. He didn¡¯t provoke her, did he?
Mu Xiaoxiao ordered a ss of fruit juice, and she carried the juice as she went to sit beside Ye Sijue.

Chapter 316: You Seem To Have A Bone To Pick With Me
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
A sinister smile appeared on Ye Sijue¡¯s handsome face as he said, ¡°I say, Great Mistress Mu, what are you trying to do? Why do I have the feeling that you have a bone to pick with me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s delicate little face had an innocent smile as she said, ¡°Oh no. I was just thinking that it seemed like a long time since we hadst met.
Ye Sijue nodded. ¡°It¡¯s been four years.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao and Ye Sijue were not close friends like how she was with Yin Shaojie and Han Qiqing. Thus, even when she hade back to China on a few asions during the four years, they had practically never met in that time.
Yin Shaojie followed Mu Xiaoxiao and sat beside her, curious about what she was nning to do with Ye Sijue.
These two were never close, were they?
Mu Xiaoxiao put down the fruit juice, and she smiled and said, ¡°Four years is quite a long time. Since we haven¡¯t met for so long and it is so rare for everyone to be gathered, why don¡¯t we have some drinks?¡±
Doesn¡¯t this bastard like to drink?
Then, I¡¯ll let him drink more!
We¡¯ll see if he still dares to take Yin Shaojie drinking again!
Raising his eyebrows, he squinted at Yin Shaojie, who was behind her, as if he was asking him a question with his eyes. Have I provoked this great mistress?
Yin Shaojie then understood that Mu Xiaoxiao was doing it for herself. He told her that it was Ye Sijue who had called him out for drinking, so Mu Xiaoxiao was taking revenge on Ye Sijue.
Thus, he smiled back and gave Ye Sijue the look that said ¡®You¡¯re on your own.¡¯
Ye Sijue furrowed his brows. What was the meaning of that?
Mu Xiaoxiao turned to have Han Qiqing pass a bottle of alcohol to her. Yup. It was even a high alcohol volume whiskey.
Ye Sijue narrowed his eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled naughtily. She took the initiative to pour him a full ss, saying, ¡°Come, let¡¯s have a drink. Since I can¡¯t hold my liquor, I¡¯ll drink fruit juice instead. Bottoms up, alright?¡±
¡®Bottoms up¡¯ meant that the ss should be finished!
With the Great Mistress Mu¡¯s urging, Ye Sijue could only pick up the drink and finish it.
However, as he gulped down the strong alcohol, Ye Sijue¡¯s brows did not even wrinkle. He appeared very calm as if what he had drunk was water and not alcohol.
Mu Xiaoxiao was inwardly astonished. This guy¡¯s capacity for liquor was too abnormal!
However, she was not disheartened as she continued to pour him alcohol.
With all smiles, Ye Sijue epted the service that Great Mistress Mu was providing for him, and he drank every ss boldly till the veryst drop.
After all, to have Great Mistress Mu pour drinks personally was an extremely rare opportunity.
After several sses, Ye Sijue tilted the bottom of the ss upward to indicate that he had finished the drink.
¡°Xiaoxiao, it seems like you haven¡¯t drunk your fruit juice?¡± He smiled.
He had almost finished a whole bottle of whiskey, but she still had not touched her ss of fruit juice.
Mu Xiaoxiao said shamelessly, ¡°I just had dinner not long ago, so I can¡¯t drink anymore. You don¡¯t mind, do you?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t mind.¡± Ye Sijue smiled, and he squinted at Yin Shaojie, saying, ¡°It¡¯s boring for me to drink alone. Shaojie, drink with me.¡±
He suddenly had a thought. If he made Yin Shaojie drunk, what would happen between the twoter at night?
Just the thought of it was quite amusing.
Though Yin Shaojie could also hold his liquor well like him, there should be a way to get him drunk.
Seeing the smile on Ye Sijue, how could Yin Shaojie not know what he was scheming?
However, Mu Xiaoxiao had not noticed it as she was still looking to Han Qiqing for more drinks so that she could continue to pour alochol for Ye Sijue.
This time, it was not whiskey but vodka.

With the bottle of alcohol in her hand, she was smiling and in high spirits.Alcohol should be drunk mixed. That way, it will be easier to get drunk!
She quickly poured a ss for Ye Sijue, saying boisterously, ¡°Come,e. Let¡¯s continue drinking. This time, I¡¯ll drink as well. I won¡¯t hide.¡±
Of course, what she would be drinking was still fruit juice and not alcohol.
Ye Sijue held the ss between his slender fingers as he swirled it about, smiling wickedly as he said, ¡°It¡¯s boring to drink like this. Why don¡¯t we y something more interesting? We¡¯ll drink and y some exciting games. How about that?¡±
Han Qiqing, who was talking to someone else, upon hearing of exciting games, immediately became interested as she replied at once, ¡°Okay! I love games!¡±
Without the lively music, what fun was there in just drinking?
When the others heard that there was a game to be yed, they rushed forth as well.
From the look of things, Mu Xiaoxiao would have a hard time refusing the idea.
¡°Okay, let¡¯s y then. What shall we y? Not Truth or Dare again?¡±
Smiling naughtily, Han Qiqing said, ¡°I think Truth or Dare is not a bad game. It¡¯s really interesting. Why not just y that then?¡±
¡°No!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao protested immediately. The previous times she had yed it had left a bad taste in her mouth. It seemed that she was always the one who was selected.
Han Qiqing pointed her finger at her,ughing mischievously as she asked, ¡°Xiaoxiao, could you be hiding some secrets from us? Is that why you don¡¯t dare to y?¡±
¡°Of course not!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said with a guilty conscience.
It would still be fine if she was ying with the others, but when she yed it with Han Qiqing, she would feel anxious because she now only knew about Lu Yichen¡¯s secret but also could not tell Qiqing of his secret even when she knew that Qiqing liked Lu Yichen.
Having heard Qiqing, Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes as he stared at Mu Xiaoxiao, and her expression seemed as if she was indeed hiding something.
He squinted at Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, ¡°Really, nothing?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly changed the subject. ¡°Aren¡¯t we going to y a game? Why did I be the subject of examination? I¡¯m no criminal! Are we still ying or not? If not, we¡¯ll y something else.¡±
Han Qiqing was afraid that she would really not y anymore, and she waved her hand and said, ¡°Of course, let¡¯s y! Sijue, how shall we y?¡±
Squinting as he watched Mu Xiaoxiao attentively, Ye Sijue suddenly had a change of ns and said, ¡°Let¡¯s y The King Game then, how about that?¡±
¡°That one¡¯s good!¡± Han Qiqing pped and cheered.
The King Game is a game with kings and ves, and Mu Xiaoxiao had yed it once before.
The game was slightly simr to Truth or Dare. The yers who were selected to be kings couldmand the ves to anything no matter if it was telling a truth or doing a dare.
Ye Sijue smiled as he continued to say, ¡°This time, the rules will change slightly. Those who don¡¯t obey orders will have to drink alcohol, and it won¡¯t be just one ss. It will be incremental, starting from one ss, to two sses, to four sses, and so on, doubling each time.¡±
The others were instantly wowed. If it continued to double, wouldn¡¯t they have to drink lots of alcohol?
Han Qiqing promptly gave Song Shijun a look. They had a tacit understanding after ying together for so long. This was definitely the time to cooperate to protect themselves and scheme against the others.
As everyone was shouting noisily, Mu Xiaoxiao did not even have the chance to protest. She had no choice but to y the game.
When the specially made cards for The King Game arrived, the game began.
Mu Xiaoxiao was slightly nervous, thinking back to her foul luck thest time that she had yed The King Game. She couldn¡¯t be the first to be chosen as a ve, could she?

Chapter 318: yed Into His Hands!
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
She took a look around at the others who were gathered and saw that there were more than ten people who were ying.
If she was chosen among so many people, then she really must be down on her luck.
The first round began.
With a hand on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s shoulders, Yin Shaojie nonchntly picked a card. He put the card down with an enigmatic smile after a quick nce at it.
Afraid to look at her own card, Mu Xiaoxiao nudged him and asked softly, ¡°Which card did you get?¡±
Yin Shaojie went beside her ear and said in a deep, soft voice, ¡°King.¡±
When the maic voiceing from his subwoofer-like voice sounded in her ear, Mu Xiaoxiao could only feel her heart jolting.
She pouted and said, ¡°I don¡¯t dare to look at mine. I keep feeling like I will get the ve card.¡±
Seeing the look on her face, Yin Shaojie nced at the others before picking up her card from the table and cing it beside his.
Han Qiqing was sharp-eyed as she noticed his actions, and she quickly warned, ¡°No swapping cards, okay!¡±
Yin Shaojieughed haughtily and said, ¡°I¡¯m putting my wife¡¯s card beside mine. Do you have a problem with that?¡±
Han Qiqing was speechless.
Was it right to openly and shamelessly disy affection like that?
Mu Xiaoxiao blushed, and she pushed Yin Shaojie away with her elbow. ¡°Can you behave yourself?¡±
As she said that, she drew the two cards into her hands, and she gave him her card, which was on top, while secretly taking his card for herself.
Ye Sijue saw everything that she did, and his eyes obscured his glee.
He said, ¡°Okay, show your cards.¡±
Then, everyone showed their cards.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed mischievously as she flipped open her card. She was in a cheerful mood when she realized that it was a ve card!
Yin Shaojie smiled with pursed lips. Looking around at everyone, he noticed that nobody was king. He then opened his card on the table.
King!
Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly at the card. That card was supposed to be hers!
And it was a king!
At this moment, she was deeply regretful.
She shouldn¡¯t have swapped it!
Mu Xiaoxiao red at Yin Shaojie indignantly, and she swung her hand toward him and pped him, saying angrily, ¡°You cheated me!¡±
Yin Shaojieughed naughtily. ¡°Why did you have to be so gullible?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was going to blow her top.
She didn¡¯t trust anyone easily, but she had trusted him!
She never expected to be yed into his hands.
Mu Xiaoxiao furiously hit him again multiple times.
¡°Okay, Xiaoxiao. You have to ept your loss!¡± Han Qiqing said as she watched by the side, greatly amused.
The others cheered, ¡°Give themand! Give themand!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked dejected as she waited for the king, Yin Shaojie, to give the orders.
Yin Shaojie put on an act as he rubbed his chin. He watched her little face as if he was thinking about whatmand he should give to make it more interesting.
Seeing the interest in his eyes, Mu Xiaoxiao knew that he was up to no good.
¡°Can you say it already!¡± she said in frustration. Since she was expecting to receive themand, she just wanted it to be over with quickly.
In front of everyone¡¯s expectant res, Yin Shaojie said sexily, ¡°Your Kingmands you to kiss me.¡±
Hearing that, the others all hooted and whistled suggestively.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was already red as she red at him.
However, being a good loser and admitting her loss, she closed in on him and gave him a quick peck.
¡°That doesn¡¯t count! Kiss the mouth!¡±
¡°Kiss the mouth! Kiss the mouth! Kiss the mouth!¡±

¡°Why did you kiss the face? You must kiss his mouth! Hurry up and kiss the mouth!¡±
These guys were getting more excessive as they hooted. There was even someone shouting for a French kiss.
Mu Xiaoxiao immediately noticed that the one who shouted for a French kiss was Song Shijun, so she shot a re at him.
Yin Shaojie wasughing frivolously, looking as if he was waiting for her to serve him a kiss.
Amidst the loud cheers, Mu Xiaoxiao stared at his handsome face. She hesitated as her delicate little face moved forward a little and then backward a little.
The others could no longer stand by watching that, and they called out, ¡°Hurry up and kiss him! Stop dawdling! Hurry it up!¡±
Even Han Qiqing was shouting, ¡°Xiaoxiao, it¡¯s either this or the penalty. Don¡¯t be afraid! Gather your courage and kiss him!¡±
With that said, she even made a clenched fist gesture to show support.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
If you¡¯re so brave, why don¡¯t you do it!
It wasn¡¯t that she was afraid to kiss. It¡¯s not like it was the first time she had kissed either. However¡
Looking at the bunch of people who were watching, Mu Xiaoxiao pouted.
How was she going to kiss with so many people watching!
It was one thing to kiss when they were alone. But with so many people looking, she just found it very awkward.
Kissing should be an intimate affair. But when these people were jeering rowdily, it seemed to have turned into a joke.
She disliked that.
Yin Shaojie was getting impatient. His handsome face suddenly drew up close in front of her, and he said in a maic voice, ¡°If you¡¯re not going to kiss me, then I¡¯ll kiss you. It¡¯ll be the same, okay?¡±
With that, he pinched her chin with his slender fingers.
¡°No!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pped away his hand in a tsundere manner and snorted at him. Then, she reached for the ss of alcohol in the middle of the table, picked it up, and tilted her head upward to drink it.
However, she was bad at drinking, so the drink had a choking effect on her.
With only one-third of the alcohol drunk, she did not want to drink anymore.
The others sounded disappointed as they had hoped to watch a good show.
Han Qiqing was more thoughtful as she looked at her worryingly and said, ¡°Xiaoxiao, can you finish it? If not, let me drink for you.¡±
Just as she finished speaking, Yin Shaojie had already reached for the ss in Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hands. He took the ss from her and finished the whole ss.
Mu Xiaoxiao was still stuck in her posture of holding the ss as she turned to stare at him.
Everyone suddenly hooted suggestively.
¡°Okay, let¡¯s continue!¡± Yin Shaojie said as he mmed the ss on the table.
Actually, everyone knew that it was more worth it for the first person to take the drinking punishment as they only needed to drink one ss.
The game continued.
Everyone looked at each other. As they had yed together often, they could tell what the others meant with just a single nce.
Then, on the second round, with most of the yers¡¯ cooperation, Mu Xiaoxiao drew the ve card again.
Mu Xiaoxiao was grim-faced as she threw the card on the table.
¡°Why is it me again!¡± she said dejectedly.
However, this time, the king was not Yin Shaojie anymore but another rich scion.
The guyughed mischievously, and he immediatelymanded to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°ve, go and kiss Young Master Jie, and it has to be a French kiss!¡±
When themand was given, everyone hooted, and they became rowdy again.
¡°French kiss! French kiss! French kiss!¡±
Though Yin Shaojie was d to see that happen, when he saw that Xiaoxiao was being bullied, he was displeased. He then swept a nce at everyone, raising his brows as he said, ¡°Hey! Don¡¯t go too far!¡±
These people were used to these games, and it was normal for them to wildly y games. However, Xiaoxiao did not y these games often, so the way that they were ying could easily scare her.

Moreover, Yin Shaojie knew very well that this wretch was very thin-skinned.
Mu Xiaoxiao only dared to put on an act in front of him, but she was not so thick-skinned to do that toward others.
Song Shijun joked, ¡°Oh, our Young Master Jie is feeling sorry for her!¡±
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes and stared with a demonic gaze at Song Shijun, his eyes obscuring his thoughts.
Song Shijun felt a strange chill down his spine, and he said embarrassedly, ¡°Okay, okay. You guys should stop scaring Xiaoxiao. Let¡¯s not go too far.¡±
¡°No need!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly said as she stood up with her hands on her hips, ring at everyone.
¡°If we¡¯re going to y, we¡¯ll y to our hearts¡¯ content! What¡¯s so scary about epting my losses? Yours truly has never known fear!¡±
Everyone¡¯s eyes gleamed.
So? Must she obey themand and French kiss Yin Shaojie?
Their eyes shed with brilliance as they anticipated a good show.
But as Mu Xiaoxiao sat down, she took the two sses of alcohol in the middle of the table and ced it in front of Yin Shaojie.
¡°I can¡¯t drink. You help me!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled at him innocently, and she had even batted her eyes as if it was to say, ¡°Oh, the weather is so fine today.¡±
The others sighed as they were again disappointed by her.
Someone shouted, ¡°Young Master Jie, don¡¯t drink for her! Let her kiss you!¡±
Someone else agreed and shouted, ¡°Yeah! Young Master Jie, don¡¯t drink for her! Let her drink it by herself! Get her drunk, then you can do whatever you want!¡±
Han Qiqingughed as she looked at the one who had shouted that and said, ¡°Only if he can bear to let her get drunk.¡±
Obviously, Yin Shaojie knew that Xiaoxiao could not hold her liquor. How could he bear to let her drink two sses?
Could the Great Master Yin really bear to do that?
Hugging a pillow, Mu Xiaoxiao stared at Yin Shaojie face-to-face, and she said, ¡°Are you going to help?¡±
The corner of Yin Shaojie¡¯s sexy lips turned up as he nodded and said, ¡°Of course I¡¯ll help.¡±
Then, without regard for the others¡¯ disappointed murmurs, he picked up a ss, tilted his head, finished it, tilted his head again, and finished another ss. Just like he was drinking water, his expression was unmoved.
Mu Xiaoxiao, who was tricked by him earlier, was still holding a grudge against him, and she had decided not to trust him anymore.
However, seeing as he was willing to help her drink, she treated his efforts aspensation for double crossing her.
After Yin Shaojie had finished drinking, Mu Xiaoxiao shifted her butt, scooting closer to him, and she whispered into his ear.
Then, the two together stared at Song Shijun.
Song Shijun broke into a sweat as he felt a strange feeling that was as if he was a stalked prey.
As it turned out, his intuition was right!
On the third round, Song Shijun was the victim of the scheme, and he drew a ve card.
And Yin Shaojie was the king.
Song Shijun was feeling vulnerable, and he looked toward Yin Shaojie to curry favor with him, saying, ¡°Young Master Jie, we are brothers, right?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes showed a slight curve, and his lips seemed to be holding in a ck-bellied smile as he said, ¡°Oh, are we?¡±
Song Shijun took a nce at the sses of alcohol in the middle of the table. If he were to concede, he would have to drink four sses!
Yin Shaojie smirked and said, ¡°Your Kingmands you¡ª¡±
Before he could finish speaking, Song Shijun jumped from the fright, and he quickly reached for the sses.
¡°I concede! I concede, okay?¡±
Luckily, he could still handle four sses, and he quickly gulped down the first ss of alcohol.
A mischievous smile appeared on Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face as he joked, ¡°Why are you so afraid? I was just thinking of letting you y a game of dare, like telling you to ask a hot girl for her number. That¡¯s not hard for you, is it?¡±
Song Shijun was speechless.
So he conceded for nothing?
But, who knew if the Great Master Yin was just ying with him!

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Song Shijun thought that he could have been ordered to use some embarrassing method to ask for a number.
With that thought, conceding still seemed to be the safer way.
Song Shijun epted his loss and downed the four sses of alcohol before belching.
¡°Come! Let¡¯s continue!¡±
Damn it! I¡¯m so going to plot against someone!
After a few rounds of the game, since everyone hade out with insanemands, some people had chosen to take the drinking punishment. Gradually, the number of sses for punishment increased to 32 sses.
The one who was punished for 16 sses earlier had already run to throw up in the toilet.
This round, Song Shijun and Ye Sijue exchanged looks, and Mu Xiaoxiao had teamed up with Han Qiqing.
Thus, Yin Shaojie was the one to be plotted against, and he drew the ve card.
The one who drew the king card was Ye Sijue.
Ye Sijue smiled meaningfully as he shot a nce to Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°I choose truth.¡±
¡°Ask away,¡± Yin Shaojie said carefreely.
Staring at Yin Shaojie, Ye Sijue smiled and asked, ¡°How many girls have you kissed?¡±
Yin Shaojie raised his eyelid, staring at him.
The others, who were in the peanut gallery and did not know of the truth, were hooting excitedly. They thought that the Great Master Yin must have an answer since he had dated countless girlfriends, so he would definitely have to concede.
This time, he would have to drink 32 sses!
They had all thought that Ye Sijue had deliberately set Yin Shaojie up to get him drunk.
Hearing that question, Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She turned to peek at Yin Shaojie, but when she met his eyes, she pretended to be aloof as she looked away.
Upon meeting with her eyes, Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes smiled, and he answered without hesitation.
¡°One.¡±
Everyone was stunned, and they wondered if they had heard incorrectly.
Young Master Jie, is that right?
One?
Are you sure it¡¯s not one hundred or one thousand?
The peanut gallery expressed disbelief towards the answer.
Only Mu Xiaoxiao, who upon hearing the answer, stared nkly, and she hung her head down as she was red to her ears, her heartbeat racing.
Was he telling the truth?
He had only kissed one person?
Then, wasn¡¯t that just¡ her?
Someone shouted, ¡°Young Master Jie, you¡¯re kidding, right? How can it be just one? You had more than one when you were young, right?¡±
¡°It doesn¡¯t count when he was still young, does it?¡± someone else remarked.
¡°Even if it is not when he was young, it still can¡¯t be just one!¡±
However, Yin Shaojie was calm andposed as he looked at them, smiling as he said, ¡°Ever since I was young, there has been only one.¡±
His answer shocked everyone again.
Mu Xiaoxiao, who wanted to conceal her blushing, hurriedly stood up and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to the washroom.¡±
Then, she left her seat.
Behind her, those people were still whispering to each other in discussion.
¡°Do you think Young Master Jie was telling the truth?¡±
¡°Aren¡¯t you silly! It can¡¯t be true if you just think about it. Young Master Jie has so many girls around him. How is it possible for him to only have kissed one person?¡±
¡°That is hard to say. Only Young Master Jie himself would know the answer. Even if he says one, no one can say that he is lying.¡±
¡°Precisely! I think Young Master Jie is saying that deliberately to bluff his way out!¡±
¡
Mu Xiaoxiao was walking in a hurry, and she identally bumped into someone at the door to the washroom.
¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡±
She did not see who it was as she lowered her head and entered the washroom.
However, she did not know that the person she had bumped into was actually Wang Shiyu.
When Wang Shiyu was knocked into, she became indignant and was going to yell at the person before recognizing that it was Mu Xiaoxiao, instantly halting.

Wasn¡¯t that Mu Xiaoxiao?
It was that girl staying with Young Master Jie whom she had met once at that luxurious condominium that Zhixin had been staying in.
Wang Shiyu thought of something and ran to the lobby, surveying her surroundings as she hid in a corner.
Indeed, there was Yin Shaojie!
She whooped to herself. So the person who had booked the entire bar lobby was Young Master Jie!
Under the dazzling spotlights of the bar, Yin Shaojie¡¯s unrivaled handsomeness and the noble temperament that was his birthright made his charm radiate even more brilliantly, and Wang Shiyu couldn¡¯t help but be mesmerized.
Suddenly, her gaze fell onto a hunk beside Yin Shaojie. He looked cool and devilish and was a match for Yin Shaojie!
Even though Wang Shiyu didn¡¯t know who Ye Sijue was, she surmised that he was a rich scion based on his countenance.
Moreover, the two seemed really familiar with each other from the way Yin Shaojie was speaking with him, so he probably had aparable background to his.
Wang Shiyu suddenly thought of something. If Zhixin could get together with Young Master Jie, wouldn¡¯t she have the chance to acquaint herself with this hunk?
She narrowed her eyes, brewing a n.
She hid in a corner and gave An Zhixin a call.
¡°Zhixin, hurry over to the bar! Yes, the bar I¡¯m working at. Hurry!¡±
After the call ended, she felt a sudden tap on her shoulder.
Wang Shiyu was so shocked that she jumped. She thought that Mu Xiaoxiao had recognized her ande over.
Upon turning around, she saw that it was her supervisor.
The man was displeased as he red at her. ¡°Little Yu, are you cking off? I couldn¡¯t find you just now; do you not want this job anymore?¡± he lectured.
Wang Shiyu grimaced and said, ¡°Brother Qiang, I was having a stomachache in the toilet. I couldn¡¯t help it.¡±
The manughed coldly. ¡°Heh, do you think I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on? You were hiding in the girls¡¯ restroom cking and waiting for your shift to end, right? If you do this again, you¡¯re fired! Let me remind you that this part-time job is highly coveted by many others!¡±
¡°I got it, I got it. Can I go back to work now?¡±
¡°Hurry up and send some beer to booth 17! If I see youzing around again, I¡¯m cutting your pay!¡±
Wang Shiyu couldn¡¯t stand to hear him talk anymore and hastily walked away.
After walking a distance, she turned her head and red at him, harrumphing. ¡°Who cares about this job! Just you wait, when I make the acquaintance of a rich young master, I¡¯ll quit this job myself!¡±
Upon thinking that she would be able to bring people here to splurge money and have him wait on her respectfully, Wang Shiyu¡¯s heart swelled with smugness.
This made her even more determined about her n.
She had to make An Zhixin Young Master Jie¡¯s new girlfriend no matter what it took!
¡
In the washroom.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked into the mirror. Her bright eyes gazed at her blushing face in the mirror, and her heartbeat increased as she recalled Yin Shaojie¡¯s answer earlier.
Was he telling the truth?
He had only kissed a single person in his entire life?
Even though she felt that this was impossible and that he had said this on purpose, she still couldn¡¯t control her heartbeat and delight.
She was super duper happy.
She had never felt so happy.
Her mood felt as though countless flowers had just bloomed in an instant.
The corner of Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mouth couldn¡¯t help but arc upwards.
Her reflection was blushing slightly, and her dark eyes were sparkling with the love of a young maiden.
This was Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s first time feeling such a way from when she was little till now. She was so happy that she felt like she was on cloud nine, and her heart was so full of joy that it felt like it was floating.

The bar lobby.
After Mu Xiaoxiao left, Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t in the mood to y anymore. He sat out the next round, nning to rejoin the game and y with her once she came back.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao still hadn¡¯te back after more than ten minutes. He frowned and gestured to Han Qiqing.
Han Qiqing leaned towards him and asked what the matter was.
Yin Shaojie said to her, ¡°Go to the toilet and check on Xiaoxiao. She still isn¡¯ting out.¡±
Han Qiqing had originally wanted to tell him that he was overreacting, for it was normal for girls to take more time in the washroom. However, under the forceful gaze of the young master, she could onlyply embarrassedly and walked over.
Yin Shaojie was contemting if he should follow her when his phone rang.
He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was An Zhixin. He frowned reflexively.
However, he still took the call.
It was a mystery as to what An Zhixin told him, but he made a noise of acknowledgment before ending the call. He then nced in the direction of the washroom and cast a look at Ye Sijue.
Ye Sijue seemed to know what his gaze meant and smiled at him as he said, ¡°Got it. I¡¯ll help you take note if theye back.¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded in thanks before telling the crowd, ¡°I¡¯m going out for a while.¡±
He then exited the bar.
It hadn¡¯t been long after Yin Shaojie left when Han Qiqing and Mu Xiaoxiao returned to the lobby.
¡°Your Great Master Yin wanted to look for you when you were gone for only a few minutes. I think he really wants to tie you to him so that you can¡¯t leave his side for even a mere second.¡±
Han Qiqing whispered by Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ear, teasing her.
Before they sat down, Mu Xiaoxiao already realized the absence of Yin Shaojie. She looked around, trying to find him.
Han Qiqing immediately jabbed Song Shijun, who was beside her. ¡°Where¡¯s Yin Shaojie? Where did he go?¡± she asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Song Shijun at well.
Song Shijun was engaged in a game of devil¡¯s bones with some other people and was very engrossed in it. He hadn¡¯t noticed anything else, so he said vaguely, ¡°He.. seemed to have answered a call just now and went out.¡±
A rich young master beside them saw the expression on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face and said deliberately, ¡°I think it was a girl who called him. Mu Xiaoxiao, aren¡¯t you afraid that our Young Master Jie will be snatched away by another woman?¡±
Han Qiqing asked, ¡°Is it true? Was it really a girl who called?¡±
She pushed Song Shijun forcefully, stopping him from ying. ¡°Song Shijun, is it true or not! Hurry up and tell us the truth!¡± she interrogated.
Song Shijun didn¡¯t know of course, and he looked confused. He then seemed to recall something and pointed in the direction of Ye Sijue and said, ¡°Before Young Master Jie left, he seemed to tell Ye Sijue something, so he should know. You should ask him instead.¡±
Ye Sijue smiled jokingly and looked at Mu Xiaoxiao as he replied, ¡°I don¡¯t know if it was a girl, but he went out immediately after answering that call.¡±
Han Qiqing suddenly pped her hands together and pointed at the young master from earlier. ¡°Oh wait! How could you have heard whether the caller was a boy or girl? So you all must be lying, right?¡± she said.
That person smiled but said nothing, spreading his hands out.
Just then, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s phone vibrated. She took it out to check the caller ID and was dazed.
Lu Yichen?
She hurriedly covered the screen and said to Han Qiqing, ¡°I¡¯m going out to take a call.¡±
Han Qiqing thought that she was using this as an excuse to look for Yin Shaojie. ¡°These people love to talk nonsense, so don¡¯t believe them. If not, I can follow you to look for him too,¡± she said.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she said, ¡°I didn¡¯t believe them; I¡¯m not going to look for Yin Shaojie, so you don¡¯t have to apany me.¡±

Han Qiqing was actually worried that she would be scolded by Yin Shaojie for not taking care of Xiaoxiao properly likest time, but she thought that since Xiaoxiao must be going to look for Yin Shaojie and he was just outside, she didn¡¯t need to apany her.
Mu Xiaoxiao hurried out of the ce, afraid that Lu Yichen had already ended the call, but he hadn¡¯t.
She answered the call, panting a little. ¡°Hello, Lu Yichen, what¡¯s up?¡±
¡°Is now a convenient time?¡± Lu Yichen could probably hear that she was outside and thus asked such a question. His voice sounded soft, and she couldn¡¯t hear how he was feeling.
Mu Xiaoxiao knew that he wouldn¡¯t have called her if he was alright.
She answered, ¡°I¡¯m free right now. Tell me what¡¯s up.¡±
To facilitate the conversation, she walked towards a spot where there was less traffic, avoiding the noisier zones.
Lu Yichen was silent for a little while before saying, ¡°My mom has already told me about the stuff you know.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised. ¡°What¡ stuff are you referring to?¡±
Was he referring to his background or Auntie Lu¡¯s health condition?
Lu Yichen understood what she meant, however, and replied, ¡°Both things.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao apologized hastily. ¡°Sorry, I didn¡¯t mean to purposely inquire about your private matters¡¡±
Lu Yichen interrupted her instead and said, ¡°I know. It was my mom who told you out of her own ord, so it isn¡¯t your fault.¡±
Lu Yichen was currently at the hospital standing in a dark corner and leaning against the wall. He had been staying strong all morning, but it seemed that he was tired now, revealing his fatigued expression.
He pinched the space between his eyebrows.
¡°Xiaoxiao, I¡¯m actually quite d about it.¡± His handsome face seemed to hold the hint of a smile in the darkness.
¡°Ah?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was confused and surprised.
She had thought that he would use her of sticking her nose in business that she didn¡¯t belong in or re up at her. Never had she imagined such a reaction.
His said in a low voice, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that we¡¯re friends? So I¡¯ve been really worried about how you would react once you found out about my background.¡±
After all, she was acquainted with his father, and even if his mom hadn¡¯t told her about it, she would have found out about it one day anyway.
Mu Xiaoxiao replied hurriedly, ¡°I don¡¯t feel anything towards it. To me, you¡¯re still you.¡±
Lu Yichen¡¯s fatigued expression seemed to be relieved a little because of her words.
There was also a little tenderness showing on his face amidst the darkness.
¡°Also, you don¡¯t have to worry about my mom¡¯s health. I¡¯ll take care of that myself.¡±
When he mentioned this, Mu Xiaoxiao only felt her heart be a little heavier again.
This was because she had sought out the doctor to ask for specifics before she left the hospital in the afternoon, and she had found out that Lu Qian was having problems with her kidneys. If the problems were serious, she would have to undergo a transnt, which was extremely expensive.
It would be a cost that was too high even for Lu Yichen¡¯s alreadyrge schrship amount to bear.
Mu Xiaoxiao really wanted to tell him to let her help, for money wasn¡¯t a problem for her family at all.
However, she suddenly couldn¡¯t speak the words.
Every person had their pride and dignity, and Lu Yichen was no exception. If he said that he could manage and she interfered liberally, it would be a sign of disrespect to him.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and replied, ¡°Okay, I understand. But if¡ you can¡¯t manage anymore, you must tell me, okay?¡±
¡°Okay,¡± Lu Yichen¡¯s gentle voice replied.
¡
On the other side.
After Yin Shaojie exited from the bar, he walked down a road. There was a carpark there with an area that was shaded by trees and had low human traffic.
Under the shade stood a petite figure.

Upon seeing that he had arrived, An Zhixin waved at him with a smile.
However, Yin Shaojie had an indifferent expression on his face. He stood in front of her and said, ¡°What do you have to say to me.¡±
Seeing how cold he was, An Zhixin¡¯s smile slowly faded.
She sped her hands together and wrung them anxiously.
¡°I¡ have something I want to confess,¡± she spluttered as she lifted her eyes to look at him.
Under the moonlight, his sharp and handsome features looked even more mesmerizing. His entire being exuded the aura of an alpha male, which made yielding to him irresistible.
An Zhixin¡¯s heart beat really fast. She didn¡¯t know if it was from the joy of standing before him or the anxiety from being about to confess.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t speak but waited for her to.
An Zhixin looked into her eyes and took a deep breath before saying, ¡°Sorry¡ I lied. You asked mest night if I was the one who did artificial respiration on you seven years ago. Actually, it wasn¡¯t me¡¡±
¡°I know,¡± he said before she could finish her words, his eyes looking dark and deep.
An Zhixin was shocked and looked at him in distress. However, she didn¡¯t dare to meet his eyes, suddenly feeling like they were sharp and piercing as though they could see through her.
So¡ He didn¡¯t even believe her answerst night.
This was also why she felt anxious and fearful after her liest night. The feeling of unease had gripped her so strongly that she chose to confess tonight.
This was because she was afraid that he wouldn¡¯t help her after he found out about her lie and would chase her out of the condominium back into her dpidated house.
She didn¡¯t want to live her life like that anymore!
An Zhixin¡¯s face turned paler and paler, and it was extremely obvious in the dark of the night.
She felt that she looked like a clown at this moment, ugly and embarrassing!
But¡
An Zhixin remembered the n Wang Shiyu had told her about and gritted her teeth, bearing her embarrassment and recalibrating her emotions.
She had wrung her hands in a death grip as tears spilled out of her eyes gradually.
In a sobbing tone, she said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I know that it was wrong of me to lie. I only thought¡ that I would have a chance with you if I did that. I was only blinded by desire.¡±
Now that she had chosen to confess, would he forgive her?
However, Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression remained enigmatic, his thoughts unfathomable.
Seeing that he didn¡¯t have a hint of a smile on her face and was even looking a little frosty, she became even more anxious and worried.
¡°Shaojie, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry, please forgive me, okay?¡±
She walked to his side anxiously and tried to grab his hand.
However, Yin Shaojie only frowned and avoided her.
An Zhixin looked hurt, and her heart tightened. Her tears started to fall.
Was he angry?
Was he never going to bother with her ever again?
No!
She didn¡¯t want this to happen!
With her peripheral vision, she anxiously looked forward to the appearance of those people Wang Shiyu had arranged to be here.
Just then, a few dark shadows leaped out from the darkness of the trees behind them. They were men, and they were carrying knives and cudgels, looking like thugs.
The first man at the front spat on the ground before raising the knife in his hand and saying to Yin Shaojie, ¡°You¡¯re Yin Shaojie, huh? Discipline him!¡±
Without further ado, a few men immediately rushed up.
¡°AH ¡ª Shaojie, be careful!¡± An Zhixin screamed loudly as she leaped to Yin Shaojie¡¯s side.
Chapter 326 - Ascertaining His Feelings (4)
Chapter 326: Ascertaining His Feelings (4)

It only took Yin Shaojie a cursory nce to gauge the ability of these people.
He cast a disdainful nce upon them, clearly not viewing them a match at all, and he didn¡¯t even get into a precautionary stance.
He also ignored An Zhixin when she leaped towards him.
Actually, An Zhixin was feeling both anticipatory and afraid, even though she knew that these ¡°bad guys¡± were employed by Wang Shiyu, because she had never experienced such a situation before.
The n was to block an attack for Yin Shaojie. In this way, it wouldn¡¯t matter even if she wasn¡¯t the one who had saved him seven years ago, for if she could save him just once right now, he would be in her debt and couldn¡¯t ignore her anymore.
The n Wang Shiyu came up with was this simple but required An Zhixin to endure the pain of a single knife attack.
How could An Zhixin not be afraid?
She had to block a knife voluntarily, letting it hurt her.
An Zhixin started to shake uncontrobly as she stared at the knives in the men¡¯s hands. Her forehead was beaded with cold sweat as she worried over how painful a knife wound would be, and she became anxious over how to block the attack for Yin Shaojie at the same time.
Almost everyone had the experience of identally cutting one¡¯s finger open. That was already quite painful; it would be even worse when she used her own body to block an attack like that.
How painful was a knife wound to her body?
She got really scared just thinking about it!
However, she remembered what Wang Shiyu had said. If she could only just save Yin Shaojie once, he would be in her debt and would stay by her side in the future. What was a little knife wound then?
On purpose, An Zhixin shouted loudly, ¡°What are you trying to do? Don¡¯t hurt him!¡±
She then saw him leap towards Yin Shaojie with their knives, and she scurried to rush towards him and embrace him with her back towards the ¡°bad guys.¡±
She closed her eyes and waited for the imminent arrival of pain.
Yin Shaojie frowned as he looked down at her before sweeping a fierce nce towards the men. He lifted a leg andunched a kick at one man, who flew through the air. He leaned to the side and delivered a flying kick to the second man, and he punched the third who then flew through the air for several meters.
¡°Who sent you?¡± he asked coldly.
All the men looked at him in terror. They had never expected a youth to havebat skills of this caliber and crawled up and rushed off, not daring to continue the fight.
An Zhixin lifted her head in a daze, her expression dumbfounded. Why was¡ the situation different from what Shiyu had described? What was she supposed to do now?
This was what she was thinking as Yin Shaojie pushed her out of his embrace.
An Zhixin staggered backward, almost falling onto the floor.
Yin Shaojie said coldly, ¡°Are you done speaking? I¡¯ll be going now.¡±
It was obvious that he didn¡¯t care for what she had said earlier.
¡°Wait!¡± An Zhixin caught his arm desperately, her chest tightening with anxiety. This was herst chance, and she couldn¡¯t, couldn¡¯t miss it!
¡°Shaojie¡ Do you really not have any feelings for me at all? You do have some feelings for me, right?¡±
¡°No,¡± Yin Shaojie replied icily.
¡°You do! You¡¯re lying!¡± An Zhixin said agitatedly. ¡°You were so good to mest time, so how could there not be!¡±
Would it take a kiss from her to ascertain his feelings then?
This crazy idea took over her mind.
She said, ¡°You¡¯ve remembered me for seven years just because of that kiss seven years ago, right? Don¡¯t you want to ascertain if you would feel anything by kissing me? If you do feel something, doesn¡¯t it mean that you have a spot for me in your heart?¡±
An Zhixin leaped forward to hug his neck as she said this, pushing her lips into his face¡

On the other side, as Mu Xiaoxiao was talking to Lu Yichen over the phone, she unknowingly walked toward somewhere quiet, and she ended up at the entrance of the parking lot.
Suddenly, a few men, who were appearing to be escaping from something ran toward her, identally knocking into her and causing her cell phone to drop to the ground.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly picked up her phone to check if it was broken.
She then red furiously at those men, but she saw that they were holding knives and sticks in their hands.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. Could these people have assaulted someone inside?
She was worried that someone may have been hurt. Thus, she cautiously walked toward the parking lot to investigate.
From afar, she saw a tall and slender figure. Why did it look like Yin Shaojie?
She immediately grew anxious for fear that he might have been assaulted.
She hurried over, but little did she expect to see such a scene¡
In the dark and under the shade of a tree, An Zhixin was hugging Yin Shaojie¡¯s neck. The two were very close, looking like they were kissing.
Mu Xiaoxiao stopped in her tracks, motionless. Her heart felt like the blood was flowing in reverse, and her hands and feet were cold.
She took two steps forward, wanting to question Yin Shaojie personally.
Then suddenly, she saw Yin Shaojie holding An Zhixin¡¯s shoulders, and his alluring lips turned into a gentle smile¡
In that moment, Mu Xiaoxiao felt as if someone had so ruthlessly gripped her heart that she couldn¡¯t breathe from the pain.
Then, it felt like there were pins and needles prickling her heart.
The pain was so unbearable that it was as if she was being torn apart!
Her legs were as heavy as lead, and she couldn¡¯t take another step forward.
The redness of her cheeks had faded, leaving only a shade of pale.
She did not even want to take another nce, afraid that she would see a scene that would cause her greater heartbreak.
As she turned around, tears flowed down her cheeks¡
¡
However, since Mu Xiaoxiao had fled from the scene, what she did not see was that Yin Shaojie had stopped An Zhixin from letting her lipse into contact with his.
When An Zhixin had thrown herself onto him, Yin Shaojie had grabbed her shoulders with both hands to stop her froming closer.
An Zhixin was astonished. She had not expected him to react so quickly.
She stared at him, appearing hurt as she sobbed while saying, ¡°Why¡ why won¡¯t you kiss me? Just once. I want to let you confirm your feelings, alright?¡±
The corner of his lips raised unexpectedly, his smile expressed his tender sentiments.
He seemed to have thought of someone, his eyes carrying deep affection.
¡°Because I am already sure of the person I want to kiss. There is only one person, and that is not you.¡±
An Zhixin was nk as she stared sentimentally at his handsome face.
She was so extremely jealous!
Who was that girl that he wanted to kiss? Why couldn¡¯t she have his deep love!
Could she be¡ that Mu Xiaoxiao?
Why!
Why!
Yin Shaojie took two steps back, distancing himself from her.
He said tepidly, ¡°An Zhixin, don¡¯t think too highly of me. I¡¯m a selfish person. I helped you, not because I liked you, but only to fulfill my own wish.
When he finished, he turned around and left unfeelingly.
An Zhixin was rooted to the ground as she continued to stare sentimentally at his receding figure.
Even though he had so clearly told her that he didn¡¯t like her¡ why was it that she was feeling even crazier about him?

Meanwhile.
Mu Xiaoxiao had been walking vacantly, not knowing where she was.
Unknowingly, she had walked out of the noisy bar street, and she came to the quiet entrance of a small park.
In the dark, her cheeks were still wet with tears. The tears rolled down her cheeks and dropped onto the ground ceaselessly.
She walked into the small park, found a corner, and squatted down abruptly.
This time, she finally cried out loud without restraint.
¡°Uhhuhhuh¡¡±
There were no other people here. Thus, she wailed like a child who had been abandoned, grief-stricken as if she had lost her entire world.
In her mind echoed the words that Yin Shaojie had said earlier in the bar: ¡°Ever since I was young, there has only been one.¡±
He said that he had only kissed one girl.
Liar!
Yin Shaojie, you liar!
In that moment, Mu Xiaoxiao cried even louder, her heart screaming with hatred as she damned him. He was a liar! He was a bastard!
How could he do this? How could he cheat on her like this?
Was it fun for him?
To see her fall in love with him only to cheat with another girl.
What exactly was she to him?
An object to y around with?
Mu Xiaoxiao sped her chest with her hands, attempting to make it less painful but to no avail. Instead, it had only aggravated the pain as if someone was tearing away at her heart mercilessly.
She was dying from the excruciating pain!
¡°Uhuhhuh¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao could not suppress her cries, let alone care if anyone had heard it.
She only wished to cry out all her pains.
As long as she cried out, everything would then be fine, right?
However, after crying for a long time, her eyes were swollen and her throat was dry, but she still felt sad and broken-hearted. Her tears could not be held back as they continued to fall.
As Mu Xiaoxiao squatted there, wailing and coughing, she lookedpletely wretched.
However, there was no one to show concern for her, and there was no one to love her dearly.
The person, who pampered her the most, was now hugging another girl. And it was An Zhixin, the girl that she hated the most.
As Mu Xiaoxiao thought back to the scene again, the wounds on her heart, which she had thought were already numb, tore open again, and the pain radiated deep into her bones.
She cried until she was about to suffocate. She thought that the pain was going to kill her.
Ever since she was young, she had never experienced so much pain.
She did not know how to dull the pain, nor did she know how to fill the cold emptiness in her heart.
A thought came across her mind.
Just as Mu Xiaoxiao brought out her phone, the phone vibrated, and the screen lit up, disying Lu Yichen¡¯s name on it.
Though Mu Xiaoxiao clearly didn¡¯t want to think about that bastard Yin Shaojie again, seeing that it was not him who had called made her feel pained again.
She didn¡¯t want to pick up anyone¡¯s calls.
She wanted to hang up the call. However, her finger was wet with tears, and the screen was not responding urately. Thus, when she swiped the screen, it somehow answered the call instead.
¡°Xiaoxiao? What happened just now? Are you alright?¡±
Lu Yichen¡¯s low voice came through the phone. He was clearly worried from the tone of his voice.
To think that there was still someone who showed concern for her, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s tears surged again, and with a hoarse voice from all the crying, she said, ¡°Lu Yichen¡¡±
I¡¯m in pain. My heart feels so much pain. The pain is killing me! Could you pleasee to save me!
Though she could be heard sobbing, she couldn¡¯t find the voice to say the words.

On the other side, Lu Yichen immediately heard from the sound of her voice that something was wrong. Anxious, his voice became tense as he asked, ¡°Xiaoxiao, are you alright? Are you crying right now? Where are you? I¡¯ll go find you immediately!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had initially not wanted to let anyone see her in such a sorry state, but his anxiousness for her made her feel warm.
Looking around her, she said helplessly as she sobbed, ¡°I don¡¯t know where I am either¡¡±
Lu Yichen calmly said to her, ¡°Okay. If that¡¯s the case, send me your location using WeChat and just stay there. I¡¯ll go and find you. I¡¯ll be there right away, alright?¡±
¡°Okay¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao sobbed as she replied.
Then, she hung up the call and sent her location to Lu Yichen via WeChat.
Just as she was done sending it, her cell phone started vibrating.
Anticipation filled her heart uncontrobly. Though it was obvious that she did not want to see Yin Shaojie, she still wished for him to call her.
However, upon checking her phone, she was again disappointed.
It wasn¡¯t him.
It was Han Qiqing calling.
As Mu Xiaoxiao stared at the name on the screen, a tear fell and sshed on the screen surface.
Pain gripping her heart, she cried out loud.
So was he so involved with An Zhixin that he did not even know that she was hurt?
Mu Xiaoxiao did not wish to let Han Qiqing know that she was crying, so she didn¡¯t pick up the call.
She sent Qiqing a WeChat message, saying that she was unwell, had to go back home, and that they could continue having fun without her.
Qiqing was still worried. She asked Xiaoxiao where she was feeling unwell and to inform her again when she reached home.
Mu Xiaoxiao sent a smiley and replied ¡®Okay.¡¯
Staring at the smiley in the chat window, Mu Xiaoxiao only felt that it was mocking her.
It was mocking her for her arrogance, to think that Yin Shaojie would truly only have feelings for her alone and for being so gullible by believing his honeyed words.
To have only kissed her and her alone¡
Men¡¯s words cannot be trusted!
They¡¯re all liars, fat liars!
As Mu Xiaoxiao let her tears trickle down her cheeks, thinking about how Yin Shaojie was plucking at her heartstrings on one side and hanging out with An Zhixin on the other, she burned with hatred toward him!
Suddenly, her cell phone started vibrating again.
Mu Xiaoxiao was already deeply hurt by Yin Shaojie. She didn¡¯t want to pick up his calls anymore.
Opening the screen, she was about to hang up the call when she saw that it was her dad who was calling.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a surge of sadness.
Heh, ain¡¯t I pathetic. I thought it was Yin Shaojie who had called.
He was still busy being lovey-dovey with An Zhixin. How could he still have time to care about her?
In an instant, her tears surged forth again.
She answered the call. Sounding hoarse and helpless, she cried out, ¡°Daddy¡¡±
Papa Mu was startled, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Baby, why are you crying? What happened to you?¡±
¡°Daddy¡ I want to go back to America¡ I don¡¯t want to stay here anymore. Can I go back to America? Daddy¡ let me return to America, okay?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pleaded as she cried like an abandoned kitten, sad and helpless.
Papa Mu waspletely shocked, and he asked frantically, ¡°Baby, what exactly is the matter? Tell Daddy, alright?¡±
As the cause of the matter was brought up, Mu Xiaoxiao cried even more terribly. However, in front of the only family member that she had, she cried without reservations as if she had finally found a way to relieve her pain.
She cried and sobbed in spurts, choking up as she said, ¡°Daddy¡ I don¡¯t want to be engaged with Yin Shaojie anymore¡ I just want to return to America now¡ Let me go back, alright? Daddy¡ I miss you¡ I want to go back to your side¡¡±

In this world, her dad was the only person who truly loved her and would not hurt her.
Papa Mu had never once heard her cry like this. Hearing her cry pained him. How could he possibly refuse her?
¡°Okay, okay, okay. Anything you want, Daddy will agree to it. If you want toe back, thene back. If you don¡¯t want to be engaged, then don¡¯t be engaged. Whatever you want. Don¡¯t cry, baby. Daddy is so worried for you.¡±
¡°Daddy¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was moved as she kept on crying. It was true that the only people who would unconditionally amodate her and pamper her was her family.
Now, she only wanted to return to America as soon as possible, to return to the person who truly loved her.
¡°Daddy¡ don¡¯t say anything to the Yin family¡ nothing at all¡ alright?¡±
¡°Okay, Daddy won¡¯t say anything. Daddy won¡¯t ask anything. When you¡¯re back by Daddy¡¯s side, you can talk to me about it anytime you feel like it.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s grief-stricken heart was feeling a little warmer from her father¡¯s love.
Papa Mu said that he would arrange the earliest direct flight for her to America and that there would be someone to pick her up in some time while she packed her things.
After hanging up the call, Mu Xiaoxiao hugged her phone as she gazed with tear-filled eyes at the pitch-ck night sky.
Thinking about how she would be leaving the skies here, leaving the city, she could not help but feel sad and reluctant to part.
However, she really could not stay here any longer.
Tears uncontrobly trickled down from the corner of her eyes.
She sped at her painfully wounded heart as she ruminated. Was this what love is? Was loving someone such an awfully painful thing?
She had never fell in love with anyone before. This was her first, but she had never expected it to hurt her so deeply.
The first person she had fallen in love with had also happened to be someone very important to her.
But, she had fallen into such a defeated state instead.
Mu Xiaoxiao just sat on the grass, curled up as she hugged her knees and dug her face into her knees.
If loving someone was such a painful thing¡
Then, Yin Shaojie, I don¡¯t want to like you anymore.
She said repeatedly in her hoarse voice from all the crying, ¡°I don¡¯t want to like you anymore¡ I don¡¯t want to like you anymore¡ Bastard, Yin Shaojie, I don¡¯t want to like you anymore¡ I don¡¯t want to like you anymore¡¡±
As if it could lessen her pain if she kept repeating it¡
And eventually¡ she could recover her bruised heart.
¡
When Lu Yichen had found the small park, Mu Xiaoxiao had already washed her face and calmed her emotions a little.
She sat at the long bench in the park awaiting his arrival.
Actually, Lu Yichen had arrived pretty quickly. In less than 20 minutes, he had run all the way to the park after he had gotten out of the car.
When he finally appeared before her, he squatted down in front of her, still panting as he asked worriedly, ¡°Xiaoxiao, what happened?¡±
Even though the it was dark there, he could still clearly see her swollen eyes from the crying.
Mu Xiaoxiao twitched the corner of her mouth. Initially, she had wanted to smile, but she simply couldn¡¯t force a smile.
Looking exhausted, she shook her head gloomily and said nothing.
Lu Yichen was considerate to her as he said gently, ¡°It¡¯s okay. If you don¡¯t to talk about it now, then don¡¯t. I¡¯ll be here to apany you. Whatever you want to do, I¡¯ll do it with you, okay?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her head.
Lu Yichen stood up and sat by her side.
And the two really just sat there without exchanging words.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at the night sky, and Lu Yichen joined her to stare at the night sky.
It definitely felt better to have someone apany her.

After a long while, Mu Xiaoxiao slowly turned her head, the tears on her face finally dry as she looked to him to ask, ¡°Lu Yichen, have you ever liked anyone?¡±
Lu Yichen frowned, as he could imagine from hearing her hoarse voice that she must have been crying very terribly for a long time.
¡°Yes,¡± he replied in a deep voice, gazing deeply at her delicate little face.
Even when she looked pale and her eyes swollen, she was still so pretty and cute that it made one reluctant to shift one¡¯s gaze away.
He suddenly recalled the previous asion when she had hid outside the principal¡¯s office in a corner of the corridor, and when he found her, her eyes were bright red from crying as if she was a pitiful little white rabbit.
The image of that scene seemed to have been deeply imprinted in his mind as he could never forget it.
Every time he recalled that he could not help but smile.
But now, seeing that she had cried so terribly, he could only feel his heart gripped with pain as he was incredibly worried for her.
If only he could just ce the whole world in front of her to make her happy.
As long as he could bring back her smile, he was willing to do anything.
Hearing his answer, Mu Xiaoxiao sighed and said softly, ¡°When loving someone is such a painful thing, why do you still want to love anyone?¡±
Lu Yichen lowered his gaze. As smart as he was, he roughly understood what had happened to her.
He said in a deep voice, ¡°Loving someone is not entirely painful as there is still lots of joy.¡±
¡°Joy¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao mumbled, her mind drifting, thinking about when she was with Yin Shaojie, bickering, hugging each other, how he would indulge her, and many more¡
However, when Yin Shaojie and An Zhixin kissing each other came into the picture, these joys turned into deeper wounds.
She shook her head to forget about the thought.
It was because of how well Yin Shaojie had treated her, the intimate things that he did to her and the indulgence and pampering he gave her, that she ended up in such a deep mess, unable to help herself.
Seeing that a tear was rolling down her cheek, Lu Yichen couldn¡¯t help but be flustered as he did not know what to do.
¡°Xiaoxiao¡ stop crying. If he hurts you, then he doesn¡¯t deserve your love.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao wiped away her tear with the back of her hands, and she forced out a smile with great difficulty. ¡°Yeah, he doesn¡¯t deserve it. So, I don¡¯t want to like him anymore.¡±
Lu Yichen¡¯s were enigmatic as his gaze fixated on her.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s phone rang, and she answered it, ¡°Hello, I¡¯m inside the small park. Okay, I¡¯ll go out right away. Wait outside for me.¡±
He looked at Lu Yichen and said, ¡°The chauffeur is here to pick me up. Later¡ I¡¯ll be taking the ne back to the States.¡±
Lu Yichen met her eyes. With an uneasy foreboding, he frowned and asked, ¡°When will you being back then?¡±
Perhaps he should have asked: ¡°Are you evening back?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and said, ¡°Maybe¡ never.¡±
This ce had already be a ce of grief.
Feeling the sadness in the atmosphere, Mu Xiaoxiao smiled at him and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. I have something I want to give you.¡±
The two then walked out together.
Lu Yichen¡¯s enigmatic gaze fell upon her as if he had something he had to get off his chest, but he said nothing.
Just as she respected him, he would respect her decision.

When the two reached the entrance to the small park, they saw a ck Bentley parked by the entrance. Seeing that Mu Xiaoxiao was approaching, a man in suit received her, cing his right hand before himself as he respectfully greeted her. ¡°Miss.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°Where is the thing that I asked you to prepare?¡±
The man took out a card from his pocket and passed it to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao took the card, and she waved her hand to signal him.
The man then returned to stand in front of the car.
Mu Xiaoxiao pulled Lu Yichen to a side, cing the card into his hand as she said, ¡°There is 2,000,000 yuan inside. The password is¡ You can hold on to it and use it for Auntie¡¯s treatment. If it is not enough, let me know again.¡±
Lu Yichen looked grave with furrowed brows as he said, ¡°I can¡¯t take it.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him, her eyes still teary as they shined, and she threatened him, ¡°Do you want to see me cry again? Take it! Are you going to take it?¡±
Lu Yichen was silent.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly went up to him and hugged him
Lu Yichen was rooted to the ground as he nced down at her side profile. From such a close distance, it seemed as if he would be able to kiss her face if his lips were just a bit closer.
Although he did not move, his eyes seemed to hide stirring deep emotions.
Mu Xiaoxiao tightly hugged his neck, and she sounded reluctant to part as she sobbed and said, ¡°Lu Yichen, you are the first friend that I made since I came back to China. I don¡¯t know if I will ever have the chance to see you again¡ Just treat it as me being selfish for wanting to go and fulfill my dreams, okay? I like Auntie Lu. I wish to see her healthy. Plus¡ we¡¯re friends, right?¡±
She released her hands, meeting his eyes as she said, ¡°When you get rich in the future, you will help me when I need help, right?¡±
Lu Yichen¡¯s gaze was fixated on her as he asked, ¡°How do you know that I will definitely be rich in the future?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled. It was the first genuine smile she had that night.
¡°Because I believe in you. You¡¯re so awesome. In the future, you¡¯ll definitely be one of the best at your field.¡±
Lu Yichen¡¯s deep voice became slightly husky as he said, ¡°You really think so?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her head vigorously, looking confident as she said, ¡°Yeah! You¡¯ll definitely make it!¡±
Lu Yichen¡¯s hand that was holding onto the card tightened, and his dark brown eyes were gazing into hers, lots of emotions hidden behind his eyes.
Seeing that he was not refusing her, Mu Xiaoxiao knew that he had epted it.
She opened both her arms and went up to him again for a hug. She sniffed and said beside his ear, ¡°Lu Yichen, goodbye. I hope that we still have a chance to see each other again.¡±
This time, Lu Yichen raised both of his arms, to return the hug. He hugged her tight as if he didn¡¯t want to let her go.
But, in the end, Mu Xiaoxiao still left.
Lu Yichen watched as the ck Bentley slowly drove into the distance, his gaze fixated for a long time.
¡
At the entrance to the Royal Jazz Bar.
Yin Shaojie and a group of people walked out from inside the bar. Everyone looked slightly embarrassed, but Yin Shaojie was looking grave. He looked down at his phone as he was dialing someone¡¯s phone number.
Standing to the side, Han Qiqing said meekly, ¡°Xiaoxiao should be fine. She could have gone home. Look, she sent a WeChat message to me, saying she reached home.¡±
But Yin Shaojie did not even take a single nce at the screen of the phone that she had brought to him. He was only focused on making calls again and again.
But, it was not picking up.
It seemed as if the person on the other side could not see his calls at all.
Yin Shaojie appeared to be incessantly jittery as he cursed under his breath.
Chapter 333 - Youre Not Fit To Love Xiaoxiao (3)
Chapter 333: You¡¯re Not Fit To Love Xiaoxiao (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Yin Shaojie dialed yet again, but Mu Xiaoxiao still did not pick up the call, and he nearly smashed his phone in a fit of anger.
He didn¡¯t know what had gotten into him. A feeling of stifling and intense unease lingered in his chest, making him extremely ufortable.
There was only one thing in his mind, and that was to see Xiaoxiao have her stand safely right before him!
There were a few possibilities as to what had happened. It could be that Xiaoxiao was deliberately refusing his calls, that her cell phone had been stolen, or what he was most afraid of¡ that something had happened to her.
Just then, a tall ck figure sped toward them.
Han Qiqing seemed responsive as she looked up, her eyes beamed with glee as she cheerfully called out, ¡°Lu Yichen, why are you¡¡±
Before she finished speaking, a grave-looking Lu Yichen had already jumped toward them, throwing a fist at Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie could have dodged it easily, but because he was preupied with his phone, he neglected to notice Lu Yichen¡¯s sudden appearance.
The fistnded straight on his handsome face.
Yin Shaojie stared back at Lu Yichen with narrowed eyes and the focus of an eagle, and Yin Shaojie swung his arm and returned a fist back to him.
Lu Yichen was hit and sent staggering back a step. He steadied himself, eyes filled with hatred as he red at Yin Shaojie, and he quickly threw himself at him again.
Yin Shaojie had always wanted to beat him up. This time, it was Lu Yin Shaojie who had started it, so Yin Shaojie did not reserve himself as they started brawling.
Han Qiqing, who was standing by the side, was stupefied. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Lu Yichen, what are you doing? Stop it!¡±
Song Shijun, who was standing behind them, also looked baffled as he went to her side and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Why are they fighting?¡±
The others who were there watching were also stupefied.
Someone actually dared to hit Young Master Jie?
Moreover, Young Master Jie seemed to hate this other guy. Every punch was connecting and heavy-hitting. Young Master Jie, who was so skilled at fighting, was not using any techniques and was only just trading blow for blow.
The two were bruised all over, but Lu Yichen was still the one with greater injuries since Yin Shaojie had after all undergone special training, making his fists exceptionally hard.
Han Qiqing was pained and could not bear it any longer. She threw caution to the wind as she rushed up to hug Lu Yichen.
She raised her hand toward Yin Shaojie to keep him off, urging them, ¡°Stop fighting! Stop fighting, you two! Can we talk nicely?¡±
Yin Shaojie brushed his thumb past the corner of his wounded mouth, and he said coldly, ¡°He hit me first!¡±
Han Qiqing was also puzzled. Why would Lu Yichen, who was usually calm and steady, want to beat Yin Shaojie? What exactly happened?
She looked to Lu Yichen and asked, ¡°Lu Yichen, what happened? Why did you hit him?¡±
Lu Yichen red at Yin Shaojie with a chilly gaze, his voice repressing his rage as he shouted, ¡°Yin Shaojie, you¡¯re not fit to love Xiaoxiao!¡±
With that, he pushed Han Qiqing away, and he turned around and left.
Everyone was puzzled. He suddenly popped out and hit someone, then he said something strange like that. What¡¯s the meaning of that?
Could this guy be Young Master Jie¡¯s love rival?
Yin Shaojie wrung his brows with a faint feeling of unease as he stared at Lu Yichen walking away.
Suddenly, he took two steps forward and shouted, ¡°Lu Yichen! Do you happen to know where Xiaoxiao is?¡±
Lu Yichen stopped in his tracks. Without looking back, he said dispassionately, ¡°Xiaoxiao¡ has gone back to America. She said that she won¡¯t being back again!¡±
Yin Shaojie was suddenly jolted, his voice stern as he said, ¡°What did you say?¡±
Chapter 334 - She Was Not Coming Back Anymore (1)
Chapter 334: She Was Not Coming Back Anymore (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Lu Yichen did not reply to him as he continued walking away.
¡°Make yourself clear!¡± Yin Shaojie yelled furiously, striding forward in big steps attempting to chase up to him.
Han Qiqing quickly held him back, looking worried as she looked at him and asked, ¡°Yin Shaojie¡ what¡¯s the matter? Why is Xiaoxiao suddenly going back to the States?¡±
Yin Shaojie was so on edge that he nearly exploded, shouting, ¡°How would I know!¡±
Even he dying to know what happened!
Did Xiaoxiao really go back to the States?
Why?
Why so suddenly?
Just what exactly happened!
Han Qiqing looked at him puzzled, saying, ¡°Earlier when you answered a call and went out, Xiaoxiao went to look for you¡ Did she not find you?¡±
Yin Shaojie stiffened, suddenly realizing something.
Xiaoxiao went to look for him?
Could it be¡ that she saw him with An Zhixin and mistaken his rtionship with An Zhixin?
¡
Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face seemed as cold as ice as he spoke on the phone, and he drove the car to the parking lot of the condominium.
¡°I don¡¯t care what methods you use! In any case, I want you to search all of City A, in every nook and cranny, by tonight. You must find her! Do you understand?¡±
On the road, he had already made countless phone calls.
Initially, he had sent people to investigate which flight Mu Xiaoxiao was taking back to America. There were not many direct flights to America from City A; thus, it should be easy to find out. His main concern was to check if Mu Xiaoxiao had really gone to take the flight or if she was just lying and had never left.
Very quickly, he received word that there was only one direct flight to America that night, and Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s name was not on the passenger list!
Yin Shaojie¡¯s subordinates were all very effective in getting things done. They had even searched the neighboring cities¡¯ scheduled flights, but they hadn¡¯t found Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s name on them.
That meant that she was not on a ne!
So did that mean that she was not going back to the States?
Did Lu Yichen lie to him?
Or perhaps, she lied to Lu Yichen?
Countless spections flitted across in mind, but they were all futile. What was most crucial was finding her.
Thus, Yin Shaojie sent orders, dispensing all of his resources, even if it meant searching every nook and cranny of City A. He must find Mu Xiaoxiao.
It was less than an hour since Mu Xiaoxiao went missing.
Unless she took a ne, no other transport would allow her to leave City A.
Thus, if she had not taken the ne to America, then she was still in City A!
Yin Shaojie could not be bothered with useless details as he used all of his connections, getting in touch with the powerful people from the government to the underground for help, employing more people to search for Mu Xiaoxiao.
At this moment, Yin Shaojie wanted to believe that Xiaoxiao had left City A, hiding in some corner to spite him while waiting for him to find her.
Yin Shaojie took a deep breath in the car, calming the emotions in him that were going to explode before he exited the car.
He took the lift upstairs, standing by the door of the apartment, and he stared nkly for a while.
His mind came up with a hopeful thought.
When he opened the door, could the wretch be right inside, not intending to go anywhere?
He hoped that that would be how it would turn out. Even if he had employed the help of so many people for a thing like this, which had probably shocked the people in the higher echelons, it would not be a big deal to him. As long as he could see her in front of him intact, it wouldn¡¯t matter to him even if all of the efforts that had been put in was just for him to find her at home.
Chapter 335 - She Was Not Coming Back Anymore (2)
Chapter 335: She Was Not Coming Back Anymore (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
When Yin Shaojie entered the apartment and saw that the lights were on inside, his hopes were raised.
The lights are on!
So that means that she came back before? Is she inside!
Without even changing out of his shoes, he rushed into the room.
However, there was no one in the bedroom.
Like a madman, he quickly went to every room to check as if he was itching to search every corner of the apartment, but Mu Xiaoxiao was still nowhere to be seen.
Yin Shaojie stared nkly as he stood in the living room, dazed.
Why?
Why couldn¡¯t he find her?
The living room lights are on. That means she came back, right?
Or could she havee back and left again?
¡°Shit!¡± Yin Shaojie cursed hatefully as he forcefully kicked the coffee table.
ng! The coffee table sounded loudly as it knocked into the sofa.
Where are you, Mu Xiaoxiao?
You wretch, just where the hell are you!
Yin Shaojie covered his eyes with hands, his chest rising and falling violently as if he was about to fall apart.
At this moment, he would rather believe that she had flown back to America. At least he would then know of her whereabouts. It was better than this where he was at a loss of what to do, not knowing where she was or if she was safe.
Just the thought of how she might be alone without protection, walking about at such ate hour and possibly running into dangers, was making him mad!
Then, his cell phone rang.
Thinking that there was news of Mu Xiaoxiao, he quickly answered the call.
However, it was his assistant who had called him.
¡°Young Master Jie, I just sent the clothes you ordered from Italy to your apartment. You can check it out.¡±
Yin Shaojie was startled. His voice was stern as he asked, ¡°You came to the apartment just now?¡±
Since the clothes were a surprise for Mu Xiaoxiao, in order to keep it a secret, he had temporarily changed the password settings to the apartment so that his assistant could enter when they were not around to set up the surprise.
Little did he expect that in such a coincidence, his assistant woulde that night.
So, was he the one to turn on the lights as well?
Yin Shaojie was heavy-hearted as he fell sitting on the sofa and asked his assistant, ¡°What about the lights? When you left, did you turn off the lights?¡±
The answer was no.
Yin Shaojie had nothing else to say as he hung up the call.
Pinching his aching temples, he calmed himself down, stood up, and entered the changing room.
Walking toward the end, he opened Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s wardrobe.
What was initially an empty wardrobe was nowpletely different. It was filledpletely with pretty young women¡¯s clothes, bright anding in all colors. Moreover, his assistant had even followed his instructions to arrange them by their colors to make it look nice.
Staring at the clothes inside, Yin Shaojie suddenly slid down and sat on the floor.
Anyone who was attentive to details would find that there were no brandedbels or logos on the clothes.
If they were to flip them open to see the inside of the clothes, they would find that there was only an ¡®M¡¯ logo.
Mu Xiaoxiao could probably not have guessed that this bunch of clothes was actually of a new brand specially designed in her name.
Yin Shaojie had once imagined the ecstatic look on her face when she saw these clothes and found out that it was of her own brand.
However, at this moment, his imagination was broken into smithereens.
Yin Shaojie recalled thest words that Lu Yichen had said: ¡°Xiaoxiao has gone back to America. She said that she won¡¯t being back again!¡±
He clenched his fist tightly and fiercely pounded the wooden floor.
However, it was not able to relieve the stifling pain and unease in his heart.
Chapter 336 - She Was Not Coming Back Anymore (3)

Covering his face with his hands, he let out an angry howl.
His lonely raging howl resounded in the empty cloakroom¡
¡
Lu Yichen was back at his apartment. Afraid that his acquaintances would see the injuries on his face, he tried to lower his head and avoid being seen by others.
As he was entering the building, a small figure suddenly came out with both hands blocking him from his front.
¡°How are you?¡± a familiar voice said,ing from before him.
Lu Yichen was initially afraid of knocking into someone, so he stopped walking. However, he didn¡¯t expect to hear a familiar voice. Looking up, he saw Han Qiqing¡¯s concerned expression.
With furrowed brows, he asked, ¡°Why are you here?¡±
Han Qiqing went closer to him in order to see the condition of his injuries because there were no lights in front of the building.
It must be noted that Yin Shaojie, a rich scion from one of the most powerful families, had undergone special training since he was young, so his skills were far above that of an average person.
Thus, Han Qiqing was really worried about Lu Yichen¡¯s condition, afraid that he might have gotten internal injuries from Yin Shaojie.
When they saw Lu Yichen leave the bar, she split from the others and told the chauffeur to quickly send her to Lu Yichen¡¯s ce.
Perhaps Lu Yichen had taken the public bus, making him arrive slightlyter as she had already waited for him for about ten minutes.
Noticing Han Qiqing¡¯s approach, Lu Yichen looked grave as he retreated several steps.
He said apathetically, ¡°I¡¯m alright. How do you know where I live?¡±
Han Qiqing did not want him to be so on guard against her, so she quickly exined, ¡°Xiaoxiao brought me here. It¡¯s not that I followed you or investigated you, alright.¡±
Lu Yichen nodded indicating that he had understood, and he said to her, ¡°It¡¯ste. You should go back home. I¡¯m fine. I¡¯ll be alright after applying some medicine.¡±
He wanted to walk past her to go back to his apartment, but Han Qiqing blocked him again.
¡°No! Look at the corner of your mouth. It¡¯s bleeding! And your face is covered with red bruises. It will surely get worse tomorrow. It¡¯ll be useless even if you apply medicine. Your face will turn blue and purple. How are you going to take care of Auntie at the hospital looking like that? Aren¡¯t you afraid that she will worry?¡±
Herst sentence seemed to have touched a nerve.
Lu Yichen stood still, turning his head to look at her.
Han Qiqing stared at him with a look of concern and said, ¡°I know a Chinese doctor. He¡¯s really good. Let him have a look and take care of it for you, and your bruises will definitely subside in about one or two days.¡±
Knowing her status, Lu Yichen did not doubt that she really had connections with some very experienced Chinese doctors.
Nowadays, good doctors in Chinese medicine were hardly affordable to the average person. They were basically only working for the rich and powerful.
Having heard what she said, he was slightly moved.
Though he hardly got into fights, he had of course gotten bruises before. Those typical bruises would take several days to subside, let alone with his injuries. Three or four days for him topletely recover seemed near impossible.
Just as she said, how would he dare to take care of his mother at the hospital looking like that?
Moreover, he had always been quite cool-headed ever since he was young and had never gotten into fights. If his mother had known that he had gotten into a fight, she would surely be frightened and would definitely question him about what had happened to him.
Furthermore, her mother liked Xiaoxiao so much. If she knew that Xiaoxiao had returned to America, wouldn¡¯t she feel bad about missing her?
Lu Yichen brooded over her mother¡¯s condition as the doctor had also instructed him that it would be best if she could maintain a happy disposition in order to betterbat the illness. Otherwise, if she were to be constantly worrying, it would aggravate the illness.

Thus, Lu Yichen was indeed wavering to the suggestion that Han Qiqing had brought up.
Watching his expression as he kept silent, Han Qiqing should have guessed his intentions.
Was he just too embarrassed to ept her help?
Imagining his cute little pride, Han Qiqingughed inwardly and simply said, ¡°Okay, okay, we¡¯ll do that then! You are friends with Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao and I are the best sisters. So that makes you my friend, right? Friends helping each other is normal, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°Come on. We¡¯ll go right now. It¡¯s still not toote. The Chinese doctor should still be working.¡±
Han Qiqing then grabbed Lu Yichen¡¯s arm, pulling him as they walked toward the car.
When he saw the luxury car parked in front, Lu Yichen could not help but knit his brows slightly as he scanned left and right, worried that his neighbors would see him getting into such a luxurious car.
Luckily, it was already dark, and the aunties and uncles had already gone back home. There was not even a cat walking on the street.
Lu Yichen then felt at ease, and he got into the car.
He looked toward Han Qiqing and said tepidly, ¡°Thank you.¡±
Han Qiqing had a sweet smile as she said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to thank me. We¡¯re friends, right? Oh yeah, it won¡¯t be good for you to go to the hospital tomorrow. Why don¡¯t I help you take care of Auntie, alright?¡±
Without giving him the chance to reply, she continued saying, ¡°Auntie had already met me anyways. She knows that Xiaoxiao and I are your friends. Then, I can tell her that you have some important exams in school, making it so that you can¡¯te to the hospital, and that you have sent me to help her. From my experience, after getting treatment by the Chinese doctor, it would take you about two days at best for the bruising to go away, and you would be able to go to the hospital on the third day. Even if there is still some bruising then, it should not be too obvious. Otherwise, you could put something on your face to conceal it, and it will be fine.¡±
It was hard to deny that her arrangement was very reasonable and well-thought out. Even Lu Yichen had trouble refusing her.
Though he didn¡¯t really want to ept her suggestion¡
However¡
Considering his mother¡¯s condition, Lu Yichen let go of his obstinance, and he nodded and said to her, ¡°Then, I¡¯ll have to trouble you then.¡±
Han Qiqing still thought that she had to continue convincing him, and she did not expect him to agree so suddenly.
She was surprised by the turn of events.
¡°Y-you agree? You¡¯re really agreeing?¡±
Seeing the look of her, Lu Yichen smiled a little and said, ¡°Yes, your suggestion is good. I can¡¯t seem to refuse it. In any case, thank you. I owe you one.¡±
At this moment, Lu Yichen suddenly realized that epting help from friends did not seem like such a difficult thing to do.
Staring out the car window at the street, the traffic was heavy and crowds were restless along the walkways.
It reminded him of Mu Xiaoxiao, who should be on a ne toward America right now.
The world was such a big ce to have let him meet her and to have allowed him to be influenced by her imperceptibly.
Perhaps, it was all fate?
He had not believed in fate in the past, but now, he was starting to believe it.
Han Qiqing was ecstatic. Her nervous little face seemed to be beaming as she hurriedly shook her head and said, ¡°No need to talk about owing favors. We¡¯re friends. We ought to help each other. Moreover, it¡¯s only a slight effort for me.¡±
Though that was what she said, Lu Yichen did not agree. He would not take other people¡¯s kindness toward him for granted.
Chapter 338 - She Was Not Coming Back Anymore (5)

¡°I will remember your kindness. Thank you, Qiqing,¡± he said.
Qiqing was staring nkly, dumbfounded.
¡°You¡¡±
He called my name?
He called my name!
If she was not sitting in the car, Han Qiqing would have jumped for joy.
No, no. I¡¯m a girl. I gotta actdylike. Even if I¡¯m happy, I can¡¯t behave wildly.
Though she had calmed her inner excitement, she could not help as the corner of her mouth went up uncontrobly.
If Lu Yichen wasn¡¯t in front of her, she would have sped her mouth and chuckled secretly.
Wonderful!
She felt that they were now closer than before. In the past, even when he stood right before her, it felt like he was so far away that she couldn¡¯t even reach him.
¡
After taking Lu Yichen to see the Chinese doctor, Han Qiqing also sent him back home and discussed what kind of excuse she should say to Auntie Lu when she visited her the following day.
Lu Yichen also warned her not to tell his mother that Xiaoxiao had gone back to the States and to make up a random excuse that Xiaoxiao had gone to visit her rtives or that Xiaoxiao was too busy with her school work toe visit.
Han Qiqing nodded her head in agreement, looking like an exemry student in a ss carefully taking note of everything he said.
He said to her, ¡°Good night then. You should head back. Goodbye.¡±
With all smiles, Han Qiqing said, ¡°Good night, you should head back too.¡±
Lu Yichen nodded his head slightly at her, and he turned into the building.
As he disappeared from her sight, Han Qiqing then finally looked away reluctantly. However, she was in a very good mood as she almost skipped her way back to the car.
The chauffeur asked, ¡°Miss, are you we back home now?¡±
¡°Yeah, let¡¯s go back home!¡±
With that said, Han Qiqing pulled out her phone, and she thought for a while before giving Mu Xiaoxiao a call. However, it indicated that her phone was off.
¡°Her phone is switched off? Is Xiaoxiao really on a ne back to the States?¡± Han Qiqing was startled as she thought about the possibility.
As to the matter of Lu Yichen fighting Yin Shaojie, she did not even speak a word about it when he was with Lu Yichen earlier, nor did she dare to ask if he had seen Xiaoxiao earlier.
She thought that there were some things that were better for her not to know.
She liked Lu Yichen, and she wanted to get close to him and treat him well. She wanted to feel satisfied just thinking about these things.
She had always felt that Lu Yichen might have feelings for Xiaoxiao. Otherwise, why would he get into a fight with Yin Shaojie over Xiaoxiao? However, it was very clear that Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie had special feelings for each other, and Xiaoxiao had also said that Lu Yichen was just a friend to her.
Han Qiqing had believed in Xiaoxiao. So what if Lu Yichen really liked Xiaoxiao? It was impossible for them to be together, and that gave her hope.
As long as there was hope, she wanted to hold on to it¡
¡ because she did not want to miss the opportunity to be with the person she liked.
Since Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s phone could not be reached and Han Qiqing did not dare to call Yin Shaojie, she could only call Song Shijun.
¡°Hello.¡± Song Shijun sounded anxious as he answered the phone, and it was as if he was busy with something.
Han Qiqing quickly asked, ¡°How is it? Is Xiaoxiao back at her condo? Have we found her?¡±
Song Shijun eximed, ¡°No! Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t at the condo. We have no idea where she went. Shaojie called my father for help. From the looks of things, he seems intent on searching in every corner of City A.¡±
So Song Shijun was currently also busy finding ways to locate Mu Xiaoxiao.
Chapter 339 - She Wanted to Cancel The Engagement (1)
Chapter 339: She Wanted to Cancel The Engagement (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Han Qiqing then grew worried and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t Lu Yichen say that she was going back to the States? Check the scheduled flights!¡±
¡°Do you take us for idiots? Of course we checked that, but we can¡¯t find her! Even the neighboring cities¡¯ scheduled flights did not have Xiaoxiao in their passenger lists! Thus, the belief is that she is not on a ne back to the States and that she might still be in City A.¡±
From the anxiousness in his voice, it was apparent that Song Shijun was very worried for Xiaoxiao.
Han Qiqing asked again, ¡°Then, is there a possibility that she is not taking a flight directly to the States but some other flights instead?¡±
Song Shijun said, ¡°We also checked the other flights. None of them had Xiaoxiao in their passenger lists.¡±
Han Qiqing rubbed her chin to think, and she muttered, ¡°I still believe what Lu Yichen said. I think that Xiaoxiao isn¡¯t in City A. Otherwise, given the extensive search that you guys have done, it¡¯s impossible not to have found a single clue, unless she was¡¡±
Kidnapped?
¡°You jinx!¡± Song Shijun rebuked her, and with good intentions, he reminded her, ¡°You can say this in front of me, but don¡¯t say this in front of Shaojie. He is currently¡ going mad from anxiety about to explode.¡±
Confounded, Han Qiqing sighed and asked, ¡°Just what exactly happened? Why would Xiaoxiao suddenly want to go back to America? Did she get into an argument when she went to look for Yin Shaojie and, in a fit of anger, leave for America?¡±
However, judging from how Yin Shaojie looked, Xiaoxiao should not have met him then.
Then, just what exactly happened?
Han Qiqing was racking her brains, but she couldn¡¯t think of a reason why.
¡°Eh!¡± Song Shijun was surprised, and he said, ¡°Could it be that phone call? Didn¡¯t Shaojie answer the phone and go out of the bar? The others even said that it was a girl who had called. Could he really have gone to see a girl and been caught by Xiaoxiao identally?¡±
¡°That could be a possibility¡¡± Han Qiqing said as she nodded.
¡°Sigh, but that is not important. What¡¯s important is finding Xiaoxiao. Otherwise, after Shaojie searches all of City A, he might go and search the neighboring cities, getting everyone involved in the search like this¡¡±
Han Qiqing suddenly thought of something as she pped the seat and eximed, ¡°Oh yeah! Have you checked the Mu family¡¯s private nes? Maybe, Xiaoxiao is taking her family¡¯s private ne back to America, and that is why we couldn¡¯t find her in any of the flights.¡±
¡°Her family has private nes?¡± Song Shijun asked.
¡°You don¡¯t say! Of course they do! I took a ne with her once. Moreover, I heard that the Mu family even has their own private airways, so it is faster than taking a ne with airlinepanies,¡± Han Qiqing exined.
Song Shijun eximed, ¡°They even have private airways¡ I don¡¯t get you super rich families! What do you not have?¡±
It was normal for the Big Four Families to have private nes, but private airways were not asmonly owned.
Though Song Shijun had also known that the Mu family was not worse than the Big Four Families, he had not expected the Mu family¡¯s hidden power to be so shocking.
Could it be that the Mu family was even more powerful than the Big Four Families?
Song Shijun contemted for a while and thought that it was not impossible. Even the Big Four Families had no clue of how powerful the Mu family was. No one knew exactly how strong the Mu family was.
Han Qiqing said anxiously, ¡°Stop caring about these things! Let Yin Shaojie know quickly so that he can start searching in that direction.¡±
¡°Got it, got it. I¡¯ll go right away!¡±
Chapter 340 - She Wanted to Cancel The Engagement (2)
Chapter 340: She Wanted to Cancel The Engagement (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Got it, got it. I¡¯ll go right away!¡±
When he finished speaking, Song Shijun quickly hung up the phone and called Yin Shaojie.
Upon getting this clue, Yin Shaojie immediately responded to it.
As he was anxiously looking for Mu Xiaoxiao, he was subconsciously hoping that she was still in City A so that he would be able to find her in the shortest time.
Of course, Yin Shaojie also knew that the Mu family had their own private nes. He was just too anxious and stressed that his usual calm judgment was lost, making himpletely miss this basic line of thought.
After hanging up on Song Shijun, Yin Shaojie quickly sent people to investigate regarding the Mu family¡¯s private ne.
Indeed, news came back quickly that the Mu family had a private ne that took off at around eight o¡¯clock, and from the looks of the air route, the ne should be heading toward America.
Though Yin Shaojie had already confirmed that Mu Xiaoxiao took that ne, he still wanted to be a hundred percent sure.
At this moment, he needed to find the videotape monitoring the passageway to the ne. However, this was ssified information belonging to the airport. It would not be hard if he talked to the people in charge, but it would take a lot of time for themand to take effect down the chain.
However, he didn¡¯t have the patience to wait any longer!
Thus, Yin Shaojie entered the study. Opening hisputer, his well-defined fingers typed furiously at the keyboard.
Within a few minutes, he had already infiltrated the airport¡¯s surveince system.
However, the videotapes for the VIP passageways were password protected. Thus, he spent some additional time decoding the password and gaining ess to the protected videotape files.
There were many surveince cameras to the VIP passageways, and he did not know which passageway the Mu family¡¯s private ne had used before taking off.
Because of this, he extracted all of the videotapes and opened them to be shown on the screen, skipping to eight o¡¯clock in the videos, and he yed them at eight times the original speed.
His dark and sharp eyes did not blink as he watched those videos, rapidly searching for that familiar figure.
Finally, after ten minutes of searching, he looked grave as he paused one of the videos.
Upon maximizing the window to the video, Mu Xiaoxiao appeared clearly on the screen.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s tensed heart finally began to rx.
He allowed the video to continue ying as he watched Mu Xiaoxiao walk through the passageway and turn into the ne.
Upon confirming that she had really boarded the ne, Yin Shaojie could finally rx as he fell back into his chair, but his dark gaze was still riveted on the small figure in the video, unwilling to look away.
Though she had only been missing for a few hours, he felt like he had gone mad thinking about her.
He sat up straight, skipped to the start of the video, and yed the video from when she just appeared.
He attentively watched the figure in the video, not missing even a second of it.
The video was quite clear, as he could clearly see her little face.
Yin Shaojie noticed that the wretch¡¯s eyes were very red as if she had cried. She was wiping her tears away with her hand as she walked past. With tightly pursed lips, she appeared to be very forlorn.
He only felt as if someone was punching ruthlessly at his heart.
How long has this wretch been crying for?
He could not imagine how much pain and sadness she must have felt to have ended up in such a sorry state.
Suddenly, Yin Shaojie hated himself to death!
He should have stayed far away from An Zhixin, and when she called him, he should not have even met up with her!
Because of an unimportant person, he had instead caused hurt to the one he cherished, the one he absolutely did not want to see suffer.
Chapter 341 - She Wanted to Cancel The Engagement (3)

What have I been doing!
Yin Shaojie was so angry he punched himself.
But it was not helping in the least. Xiaoxiao was already hurt. He must get to her quickly to exin things clearly.
This time, he was not going to be afraid anymore. He must let that silly wretch know his feelings.
Whether she rejected or epted him, it didn¡¯t matter to him anymore!
In any case, he had already decided that no matter whether she would agree or not, he would not let her go!
Mu Xiaoxiao can only belong to Yin Shaojie!
Yin Shaojie looked deeply resolute as he pulled out his phone and dialed a number.
¡°Arrange a private ne to the States for me. I want the fastest one!¡±
¡
America.
After flying for more than ten hours and with the time difference, Mu Xiaoxiao reached America at past nine o¡¯clock.
Since she took a private ne, it was faster than normal airlines. Otherwise, she would only have arrived around two or three hourster, which would have been about twelve o¡¯clock at night.
Though Mu Xiaoxiao should have been tired after crying for a long time, she could not fall asleep on the ne because her mind was constantly dwelling on many thoughts that she couldn¡¯t get rid of. The more she thought about them, the more she felt stressed and stifled inside.
In the end, she simply took a sleeping pill and fell asleep. Moreover, she slept continuously for more than ten hours, and she woke up just when they reached America.
Sitting in the car arranged by her father, Mu Xiaoxiao leaned her head against the window as she stared at the scenery outside.
Though she had stayed there for four years, it felt unfamiliar to her after just leaving for about a month.
But as she kept looking while on the road, it gradually started to feel like she was returning home.
The long Lincoln car entered the big garden and stopped. A servant wearing a female maid uniform came up to open the door for her, and she bent at her waist and said respectfully, ¡°Miss, wee back.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes were so badly swollen that when she smiled, it would pull on her skin and be a little painful. But she still smiled to the servant.
¡°Lisa, it¡¯s been a while.¡±
Many escorted Mu Xiaoxiao as she walked past the garden and toward the white vi.
¡°Miss has returned!¡± someone shouted.
As Mu Xiaoxiao looked around the familiar house, her eyes became watery.
Following that, her father¡¯s familiar voice was heard. ¡°Baby!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked in the direction of that voice and saw Mu Zhengbo. Her tears immediately fell as she ran to him, sobbing as she cried out, ¡°Dad!¡±
Mu Zhengbo held her in his embrace lovingly, and he lightly patted her on her back, his eyes filled with concern for her.
¡°Baby, it¡¯s alright. You¡¯re home now.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed sorry as the corner of her mouth turned down, and she nodded her head, pressing her face on his father¡¯s chest. ¡°Okay. Daddy, I will never leave you again.¡±
Mu Zhengbo smiled, rubbing her hair gently. ¡°Okay, okay. Daddy is also unwilling to let you leave.¡±
The two hugged for a long time before Mu Xiaoxiao embarrassedly let go and wiped her tears.
Mu Zhengbo signaled the domestic helper to bring him a hot towel.
He picked up the hot towel and tested the temperature, then ced the hot towel into her daughter¡¯s hands. ¡°Wipe your face. Baby, why are your eyes so swollen? How long had you been crying? Was it Shaojie, that boy, who bullied you?¡±
Just the mention of Yin Shaojie¡¯s name made Mu Xiaoxiao feel a sharp pain in her heart.
Speechless, she shook her head, and she pressed the hot towel on both of her swollen eyes before unraveling the towel to wipe her face.

Without rushing her, Mu Zhengbo signaled a gesture to the domestic helper as she was wiping her face, and he then said to her, ¡°I heard you slept all the way on the ne without eating. You must be hungry, right? Papa will get them to make something you like for you to eat. Is there anything you want to eat in particr?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hands halted for a moment. She had already told the flight crew not to inform her father about having to take sleeping pills in order to fall asleep. They shouldn¡¯t have told him about that, right?
Perhaps Papa only knew about how she had slept throughout the flight.
Mu Xiaoxiao was slightly put at ease as she slid down towel down her face, her eyes turning as if she was in thought.
She had indeed eaten nothing for more than ten hours and was feeling hungry, but she had no appetite.
However, seeing her father¡¯s worried expression, she still forced a smile and said, ¡°Porridge then. I would like to have porridge.¡±
¡°What porridge would Baby like to have?¡±
¡°Anything is fine, as long as it is not seafood porridge. Just a simple porridge with pork and century eggs then.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao said tepidly as she did not have any cravings but only needed to satisfy her hunger.
Mu Zhengbo then quickly sent instructions.
The kitchen made it in a very short time, perhaps because it had already been prepared beforehand. Mu Xiaoxiao was able to start eating the porridge not long after, and it filled her stomach. However, her heart still felt empty.
Mu Zhengbo sat beside to apany her daughter without asking why she was hurt, only watching her with a loving gaze.
Mu Xiaoxiao did not have much of an appetite. After eating half the bowl, she was no longer hungry and didn¡¯t want to continue eating.
She put down the spoon and said, ¡°I¡¯m full.¡±
Mu Zhengbo nodded. ¡°it¡¯s alreadyte. You don¡¯t have to eat too much.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao snuggled up to her father and hugged his arm like a fawning little pet.
¡°Daddy, can I not return to China? I want to stay in America.¡±
Though China was her mothend, to her, it was also a ce of grief.
With a drooping gaze, Mu Zhengbo stared down at her daughter¡¯s face as he sighed and asked, ¡°Can you tell Daddy if it was Shaojie who hurt your heart?¡±
With lips pursed tightly, Mu Xiaoxiao nodded.
Then, she sobbed and said, ¡°Daddy¡ I don¡¯t want to hear his name. Can you not mention him anymore? And, can you cancel my engagement with him? I don¡¯t want to see him again.¡±
Mu Zhengbo did not reply immediately. Though he was very doting on Xiaoxiao to the extent of spoiling her that he wished that he could give her all of the good in the world and hoped that she would only have a happy and carefree life, one could not have an ostrich mentality and keep running away from problems.
He thought for a moment and said, ¡°There must be some misunderstanding between you two, right? I chose Shaojie because I believed that he could protect you. If it is true that he can¡¯t protect you, then the engagement is needless. However, to be fair, I think there is a need to rify things. Otherwise, Shaojie is still innocent in this, don¡¯t you think so?
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted unhappily.
What do you mean that he is innocent?
I¡¯m the one who is broken-hearted!
He is the one who broke my heart!
However, Mu Xiaoxiao could not find a rebuttal to her father¡¯s reasoning, and she had no choice but to nod her head.
¡°But, it¡¯s your problem if you want to rify things. I don¡¯t care. In any case, I just don¡¯t want to see him! If hees, you can¡¯t let him in.¡±
Mu Zhengbo smiled and nodded. ¡°Alright, alright, alright. Of course, I can¡¯t let him in. Whether it is a misunderstanding or not or whether he is wrong or not, he has hurt my baby¡¯s heart, and that is the greatest wrong!¡±
Chapter 343 - She Wanted to Cancel The Engagement (5)

Satisfied, Mu Xiaoxiao then lifted her little head from his chest.
Actually, she still felt quite bitter. Yin Shaojie might still be fooling around with An Zhixin and not bother to fly over to America to look for her.
Mu Zhengbai studied the miserable look on her face, and his gaze turned severe.
How dare Yin Shaojie hurt his little baby! When hees over, he will teach him a lesson!
He said, ¡°Alright, go take a shower and rest up. Don¡¯t think too much; daddy¡¯s here.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded obediently. ¡°Yeah, okay.¡±
She had actually slept on the ne for more than ten hours already, so she didn¡¯t feel like sleeping now.
However, she didn¡¯t say so out of concern that her dad would worry.
¡
Four hourster, past one o¡¯clock, Yin Shaojie¡¯s private jetnded in the airport.
He walked out into the cold breeze of the night. There was a car already waiting outside the door.
¡°Young master.¡± The driver greeted him deferentially and bent over to open the door for him.
After Yin Shaojie got into the car, he turned his phone on and sent a text to Mu Xiaoxiao immediately.
¡ª¡ª Xiaoxiao, I¡¯m in America already. I¡¯ming to look for you right now.
He sent a lot of messages exining how there was nothing going on between him and An Zhixin and that all that she saw was a misunderstanding. If she didn¡¯t believe him, he could exin it to her slowly.
Her WeChat app was flooded with a few hundred messages from him.
However, there was not a single reply from her.
Yin Shaojie sent over ten more messages before he was willing to put his phone away. He sighed deeply as he looked out of the window.
As he gazed at the streets of this foreignnd, he thought, So this was also what Xiaoxiao saw too after shended, huh?
How had she been feeling then?
Would she be less sad after returning to a ce familiar to her?
He found himself missing her increasingly as he thought about this.
If this incident had not happened, they would probably already be asleep in each others¡¯ arms on a night such as this.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s heart began to ache as he reminisced the sparse sweet times he had spent with her.
Even though he knew this was all a misunderstanding and that he had absolutely no feelings for An Zhixin¡ it might not be a case of ¡°All will be well¡± even if the misunderstanding was cleared up, for Xiaoxiao had been hurt and scarred. What could he do to heal that scarpletely and return things to the way they were before?
He didn¡¯t understand why he was so anxious and scared.
What if Xiaoxiao decides not to stay with him even after hearing his exnation because she had been hurt?
They didn¡¯t say ¡°Once bitten, twice shy¡± for no reason.
Yin Shaojie felt really unsettled and notposed. He was a person who always faced everything with calm andposure, and he had never felt so upset.
He wished that Xiaoxiao¡¯s feelings ran so deep that she couldn¡¯t bear to part with him.
However, he couldn¡¯t help but feel fear. How much Xiaoxiao liked him determined how hurt she was feeling, and if she hurt too much, causing lingering fear, and decided not to like him anymore, what should he do then?
The thought of her not liking him anymore made him panic badly, his blood draining to his toes.
The streetlights shed past, and there was not a soul to be seen as the ck limousine drove under the night sky.
They stopped at a red light.
There was an overhead bridge above them, and on it was a foreign couple bickering. The woman¡¯s shrill voice screamed, ¡°I¡¯ll never trust you again. I don¡¯t ever want to listen to your exnations anymore! Do you get it? I¡¯m too scared, and I don¡¯t want to love you anymore!¡±
Even though the woman was speaking in English, it sounded very much like his mother tongue to Yin Shaojie.
Chapter 344 - Afraid of Losing Her (1)
Chapter 344: Afraid of Losing Her (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The man¡¯s voice was audibly flustered as he said, ¡°Don¡¯t leave me, darling! Can you believe me once more? Just once more! You obviously love me so much, so why do you have to leave me?¡±
The woman was now sobbing. ¡°Because my heart aches¡ Do you know how hurt I am when I see you together with other women! Why do you have to break my heart? Why!¡±
Just then, the light turned green and the limousine began moving again.
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t judge whether what had happened between this couple was a misunderstanding or if the man had really cheated based on these sentences.
However, he seemed to see Xiaoxiao¡¯s anguished face from the sorrowful wails of the woman.
¡ª¡ª My heart is aching so badly. Do you know how much it¡¯s aching?
Yin Shaojie felt like someone was tearing his heart apart. He sucked in a deep breath painfully and covered his eyes with his hands.
Xiaoxiao¡
¡
When Yin Shaojie finally arrived at the Mu¡¯s vi, it was already veryte. The entrance was pitch-ck and all was silent except for the chirping of crickets.
The driver parked by the entrance and looked back at Yin Shaojie. ¡°Young Master¡¡±
Yin Shaojie swept an anxious gaze at the luxurious vi in front of him, trying to imagine which room Mu Xiaoxiao was staying in.
However, there was a garden separating the vi from the entrance. Even if he had perfect vision, he couldn¡¯t really see anything clearly in the dark.
Yin Shaojie looked at the time. It was now two in the morning.
She should already be sleeping at this hour.
He didn¡¯t know how she had spent those ten over hours on the ne.
To him, those hours were hard to tough out. They were the longest hours of his life to endure.
Before this, he couldn¡¯t emphasize with the phrase ¡°A day drags past like a year.¡± Now, having experienced a ne ride for more than ten hours, he instantly understood its meaning.
Yin Shaojie gestured to the driver before opening the door and getting out of the car.
He stood beside the car, leaning hisnky frame against it and gazing into the vi with his arms crossed.
Even though he was anxious to see Xiaoxiao, he didn¡¯t dare to act rashly.
Even though all looked quiet and there were no signs of people, the Mu¡¯s security wasn¡¯t so simple. If he leaped over a wall to enter the vi, someone would definitely appear to stop him, which might cause him to rm the vi¡¯s inhabitants.
He wondered if Xiaoxiao had a good rest on the ne. If she hadn¡¯t, she might already be asleep.
He didn¡¯t want to wake her up. She should at least have a good night¡¯s rest.
Thus, he suppressed his intense feelings of longing to see her and stood at the spot that was closest to her. He thought about her being inside, and it calmed his unease slowly.
Seconds and minutes seeped by slowly. The driver, who couldn¡¯t stay up any longer, dozed off in the car.
However, the figure outside the car maintained his stance.
Finally, daybreak arrived after a few hours. The sky brightened and gradually dispelled the darkness.
At six o¡¯clock in the morning, a domestic helper noticed the car outside the entrance while she was out to buy groceries and received a shock.
Someone went to inform the butler about this.
The butler rushed out to check on the situation and recognized Yin Shaojie instantly. He opened the gates hurriedly and walked towards Yin Shaojie. ¡°Young Master Yin, what brings you here?¡± he called out.
Upon seeing someone finally arrive, Yin Shaojie rubbed the space between his brows. He looked calm and collected, but even though his eyes were bloodshot, there was no sign of fatigue on his face.

¡°Uncle Qi, it¡¯s been a long time,¡± he nodded as he said politely with the air of greeting an elder and not a subordinate.
Uncle Qi had been the Mu¡¯s butler for decades and had watched Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie grow up together.
Upon noticing the sleeping driver in the limousine, Uncle Qi frowned involuntarily. Looking at Yin Shaojie worriedly, he asked, ¡°Young Master Yin, when did you arrive? Why didn¡¯t you call to inform us? You didn¡¯t have to wait outside like that.¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled. ¡°It¡¯s alright; I deserve it.¡±
What was a mere night of waiting if he could see Mu Xiaoxiao at the end of it?
If a few sleepless nights could make Xiaoxiao forgive him and return home with him, he would do it.
Uncle Qi was puzzled, but having had experienced a simr thing before and connecting the dots between the Missing back to America suddenly with teary swollen eyes, he got a good grasp of the situation.
¡°Young Master Yin, you shoulde in to wait. The Miss is not awake yet right now.¡± Uncle Qi gestured weingly.
Yin Shaojie nodded. ¡°Thank you, Uncle Qi.¡±
He had imagined the door being shut in his face, being given a hard time, and barring him from entering the house as the worst case scenario. He hadn¡¯t expected things to go so smoothly, and the weight in his heart lifted.
He would pull out all the stops to pacify and coddle Xiaoxiao just to get to see her.
Ignoring his driver, Yin Shaojie let him continue sleeping in the car and followed the butler in.
As the sky brightened, some domestic helpers could be seen trimming the garden and watering the nts.
Yin Shaojie entered the house.
Uncle Qi turned back and asked, ¡°Young Master Yin, should I arrange a room for you to take a nap? The Miss came back verytest night and will probably be waking upte today.
Yin Shaojie shook his head. ¡°No, it¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll wait for her in the living room.¡±
¡°Alright. How about some breakfast? You must be hungry,¡± Uncle Qi asked thoughtfully.
Yin Shaojie was indeed hungry. He had no room for food in his mind on the ne and absolutely no appetite then, for he had been entirely preupied with imagining how sad Xiaoxiao¡¯s expression had been.
Additionally, he had arrived at the Mu¡¯s reallyte and had stood outside their house without any rest for an entire night. It was hard not to be hungry.
However, Yin Shaojie thought for a while before saying, ¡°It¡¯s alright. I¡¯ll wait for Xiaoxiao to eat together.¡±
¡°As you wish.¡±
As a butler, Uncle Qi had many duties to attend to. After helping him to settle down, he left.
If he was any other guest, he wouldn¡¯t have left him alone like this or let him in without informing Mu Zhengbai.
This was a treatment only afforded to Yin Shaojie.
A domestic helper poured Yin Shaojie a ss of water immediately after he sat down.
Even though it was still early, the domestic helpers were already doing their chores in a flurry of activity around him. There were some female domestic helpers who hid in a corner and asionally watched Yin Shaojie surreptitiously.
The domestic helpers were a mix of Asians and Westerners, but no matter their race, they couldn¡¯t help but cast continuous nces at Yin Shaojie, who had an umon handsomeness and noble countenance. It would be such a shame to not do so while they could.
Of course, these domestic helpers had seen their fair share of handsome men.
After all, in an elite household such as the Mu¡¯s, they received wealthy people often, and they were treated to numerous sights of handsome men and gorgeousdies.
However, a heavenly handsomeness like Yin Shaojie¡¯s was extremely rare.

In a corner, there were a few female domestic helpers huddled together, and all of them were wiping down a single cab at the same time. They would sneak a nce at Yin Shaojie with every other wipe and cover their mouths while giggling girlishly.
Just then, a shadow appeared behind them andid an ominous hand onto one of them.
¡°How dare you ck off?¡±
The few domestic helpers jumped in fright. Luckily, they all had been well-trained and none of them screamed out, but all of them lowered their heads in embarrassment.
¡°Lisa¡ Why did you have to frighten us like that!¡± One of the domestic helpers was on more intimate terms with Lisa and grumbled.
Lisa smiled. ¡°Who¡¯re you peeking at?¡±
The domestic helper pointed her chin in the direction of the sofa. ¡°There¡¯s a guest who looks really special. Butler Qi let him in directly without even informing the Master, and he even looked very friendly when they were talking.¡±
Butler Qi was usually a strict and imposing figure and was never friendly when talking to subordinates such as them.
One of the domestic helpers said excitedly, ¡°He¡¯s so handsome! He¡¯s the most handsome Asian man I¡¯ve seen so far. He¡¯s really out of this world!¡±
Another domestic helper echoed, ¡°Yeah, yeah! I thought Asian men were not my type, but this one¡ he is deathly mesmerizing!¡±
Lisa looked at them, amused. ¡°How exaggerated can you all get? Does his handsomeness warrant such reactions?¡±
It was not umon for people in their positions, as workers for the elite of society, to encounter handsome men and gorgeousdies all day long.
The domestic helpers nudged her. ¡°You can go and see for yourself if you don¡¯t believe me. I guarantee that you¡¯ll find him handsome too.¡±
As the Miss¡¯ personal maid, Lisa ranked slightly higher than these domestic helpers in their hierarchy. She didn¡¯t have to sneak surreptitious nces at him like they did but walked over boldly.
When she reached him and saw his face, she stood rooted to the spot in astonishment.
Noticing her gaze in his peripheral vision, Yin Shaojie turned his eyes towards her.
At that moment, Lisa met his eyes. It was like ck obsidian, and she felt as though she was falling through an endless gxy of stars, spacing out a little.
Yin Shaojie looked nonchnt. He was evidently used to such gazes.
¡°Is there a matter?¡± he asked.
Lisa recovered her senses quickly, all the while chastising herself internally for losing herposure. She resumed an appropriate attitude and smiled as she walked over. ¡°Young Master, is the water to your liking? Do you want a new beverage?¡± she asked.
Yin Shaojie looked away. ¡°There¡¯s no need.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll not disturb you then,¡± Lisa replied politely and retreated.
She was osted by the domestic helpers once she returned.
¡°Lisa, isn¡¯t he handsome! Isn¡¯t he handsome!¡±
Lisa coughed a little awkwardly. ¡°He¡¯s quite handsome¡ Alright, get going and stopzing around, all of you. You¡¯ll be punished if Butler Qies and finds you like this.¡±
¡°We weren¡¯t beingzy. Anyway it¡¯s still early, and we usually take things slow anyway.¡±
¡°This hunk seems to be here for the Miss. Say, do you think he¡¯s Miss¡¯ boyfriend?¡±
Only Mu Zhengbai and the butler were aware of Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie¡¯s engagement; the rest of the household was still in the dark.
¡°It¡¯s possible! I feel like he lookspatible with the Miss!¡±
¡°His cool demeanor makes him so friggin¡¯ handsome! Did you notice? He seems like a bossy person from the way he looks. The ¡®bossy CEO¡¯ man is my type!¡±
Lisa waved a hand in front of them, interrupting their conversation.
Chapter 347 - Afraid of Losing Her (4)
Chapter 347: Afraid of Losing Her (4)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Enough, all of you! Stop all this lovestruck nonsense. You¡¯ll get it if Butler Qi sees you like this. Get to work!¡±
With that, Lisa headed towards the spiral staircase.
In the room.
Mu Xiaoxiao was hugging a pillow between her legs. Her face was resting on the pillow, and she was sleeping peacefully.
She had been unable to sleep the night before and had stayed up fiddling with her phone in a state of boredom. Because she had already decided not to return to China, she had disposed of her Chinese SIM card once she had alighted from the ne, and she had changed her SIM into an American one.
She also deleted her WeChat.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao realized that Han Qiqing might be worried about her and decided to send her a message. After all, Qiqing had taken care of her really well when she was in China.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao was a little afraid that Qiqing would annoy her and bug her about what had happened.
Thus, she thought for a while before she logging into Weibo and sending a private message to Qiqing. In it, she told her that she had returned to the States and was safe. She requested for her to not miss her and to not ask what had happened. She also said to absolutely not tell Yin Shaojie any news regarding her.
Mu Xiaoxiao then logged out of this ount and decided to not log back in temporarily so that she wouldn¡¯t have to face Qiqing¡¯s interrogation.
However, she was afraid that she would be bored and created an alternate ount, using it to stalk gossip on Weibo.
Because it was a new ount, she had no friends added. Out of impulse, she uploaded many posts scolding Yin Shaojie on Weibo.
After that happy scolding spree, Mu Xiaoxiaoy on her bed and stared nkly at the ceiling.
The frustration in her heart calmed down mysteriously, and she felt a sense of indescribable peace.
Sleepiness came over her, and she dozed off again.
The wall on the clock read two-o-five in the morning.
This time, Mu Xiaoxiao had a good rest, unlike when she had been on the ne. Even though she had taken sleeping pills before sleeping, she couldn¡¯t help but frown as she slept, so even though she slept soundly, it was ufortable.
However, having had slept on the ne for more than ten hours, she woke up naturally after a mere four hours of sleep.
Upon hearing the sound of footsteps outside the door, the eyshes on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face twitched, and her eyes opened slowly.
The white curtains by the French windows swayed with the breeze. Soft golden rays of sunlight shone in, making the room bright and clear.
Mu Xiaoxiao could feel the grumble of her stomach, and shezily stretched.
She then called out as per habit, ¡°Yin Shaojie, I¡¯m hungry¡¡±
Before she could enunciate herst word properly, she stopped.
The sorrowful image rose from her memory once again, causing her to feel a sharp, throbbing pain in her heart.
Mu Xiaoxiao sped her bosom and breathed slowly before she could calm the feeling in her heart.
She tried very hard to forget about those bad memories, throwing them into the back of her mind, not wanting to remember them anymore.
That jerk Yin Shaojie was scum!
Mu Xiaoxiao, you¡¯ve already said that you wouldn¡¯t like him anymore. You must do as you promised!
Mu Xiaoxiao sat up violently. Curling her hands into fists, she nodded to herself.
¡°I¡¯m hungry, so I¡¯ll have something to eat. Then I¡¯ll shop and look for my friends to y and live life!¡±
Who the heck was Yin Shaojie? What was Yin Shaojie! She didn¡¯t remember anymore!
Mu Xiaoxiao shimmied her butt over to the nightstand. Picking up thendline, she dialed an internal extension and asked the helpers to make her some breakfast.
Lisa was waiting outside the door. At the sign of noise from the inside, she knew that the Miss was awake and knocked on the door.
¡°Come in,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said.
Chapter 348 - Afraid of Losing Her (5)
Chapter 348: Afraid of Losing Her (5)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Pushing the door as she entered, Lisa smiled and greeted her, ¡°Miss, good morning.¡±
¡°Lisa, good morning!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mood was clearly much better than the night before as she appeared to be much more energetic.
Seeing that Mu Xiaoxiao had recovered, Lisa expressed her dness.
As Mu Xiaoxiao was changing clothes, Lisa was helping her to choose her clothes, and she said to her, ¡°There is a young master downstairs. He seems to be looking for Miss, and he was here very early. Miss, would you like to meet himter?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, the smile on her little face gradually went away.
Suddenly, she had a strong intuition that the person downstairs was Yin Shaojie.
Did he¡ arrive in America so quickly?
She had just wanted to forget about him and never see him again after being so deeply hurt by him.
However, the thought of how he had chased her so quickly still made ripples in her heart.
¡°Miss?¡± Lisa stared at Mu Xiaoxiao, who was looking nk.
Mu Xiaoxiao snapped out of it and said, ¡°He¡ Who is he? What¡¯s his name?¡±
Lisa shook her head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know. It was Butler Qi who let him in directly. Even Master was not informed of it. It seems that Butler Qi is familiar with this person. He should be a close acquaintance to Miss, right?¡±
With that information, Mu Xiaoxiao knew that it must be Yin Shaojie.
If it were any other guests, it would not be possible for her father to not be informed. Moreover, if it is someone Uncle Qi is familiar with, it definitely cannot be a normal guest.
With a hundred percent certainty, it must be Yin Shaojie!
Mu Xiaoxiao was already certain of it, and she didn¡¯t even need to go downstairs for confirmation.
She was not going to meet that bastard!
Oh yeah! She had clearly told her father yesterday not to let Yin Shaojie in, and he agreed to it. Why didn¡¯t he inform the butler?
The fact was that no one had expected Yin Shaojie to arrive so quickly.
After changing her clothes, Mu Xiaoxiao hurried out of her room toward Mu Zhengbo¡¯s room.
Lisa followed behind her, and she asked, ¡°Miss, do you need me to tell the young master that you will be with him shortly?¡±
¡°No!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly turned back her head to stop her.
Lisa was startled by her loud voice.
Mu Xiaoxiao nervously watched the end of the corridor, afraid that her voice might have carried into the living room and be heard by Yin Shaojie.
She said to Lisa, ¡°He is a guest I don¡¯t wee, so you don¡¯t have to entertain him. Just stay here and don¡¯t go downstairs.¡±
¡°Understood, Miss.¡± Though Lisa was puzzled, she did not dare to ask more questions as she obediently stood by the side and waited.
Mu Xiaoxiao knocked on the door. ¡°Daddy!¡±
Just as she raised her voice, she was reminded of Yin Shaojie¡¯s presence downstairs. She then lowered her voice as she called out, ¡°Daddy.¡±
Shortly, Mu Zhengbo came to open the door. Though she had roused him from his sleep, he did not appear tired as if he had already been awake and had freshened up.
¡°Xiaoxiao? You¡¯re up early. Why don¡¯t you sleep a little more?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao ttened her little mouth as she stomped into his room, and she red at him and said in a huff, ¡°Papa! You didn¡¯t keep your word!¡±
Mu Zhengbo was puzzled. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? How did I not keep my word?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted, pointing downstairs as she said, ¡°Yin Shaojie is here! He is just downstairs. Didn¡¯t you promise me that you would not let him in? Hurry and chase him away!¡±
¡°Shaojie is here? So fast?¡± Mu Zhengbo was slightly surprised. He did not instruct the butler about the matter yesterday because he had thought that Yin Shaojie would only be able to arrive in America today.
Chapter 349 - The Pitiful Shaojie (1)
Chapter 349: The Pitiful Shaojie (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
He had not expected that he would arrive so fast.
As someone who had been around the block, Mu Zhengbo could tell that Yin Shaojie cared a lot about Xiaoxiao.
It also made him more certain that there was definitely a misunderstanding between the two that had led them to their current situation.
Though Mu Zhengbo doted on Xiaoxiao and wished for her to do as she pleased, his greatest wish was that she could be happy. If the misunderstanding was not cleared up, she would not be able to obtain the happiness that she sought for.
However¡ Mu Zhengbo¡¯s mouth twitched. The one who had hurt her precious daughter¡¯s heart must still be punished.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa in a huff. She hugged a pillow and continued pressing him. ¡°Daddy, quickly chase him away! I don¡¯t want to see him!¡±
¡°Okay, okay, okay. I¡¯ll chase him out. How do you want to chase him out?¡± Mu Zhengbo wanted to please her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was extremely stressed and only wanted to vent her anger at Yin Shaojie, so she could note up with any ideas.
Mu Zhengbo sat beside her, holding her little hand and patting it as he said, ¡°How about this? I will ask the helpers to chase him out with brooms, alright?
¡°Okay!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her head in agreement.
Then.
Butler Qi was summoned upstairs. When he came back downstairs, he had gathered all the domestic helpers.
In a few minutes time, every one of the domestic helpers had either a broom or some other tool in their hands standing uniformly in front of Yin Shaojie.
Seeing the stance that they had taken, Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyebrows were knitted slightly.
Butler Qi was also looking helplessly at him, but he then said in a menacing voice, ¡°Master has ordered that the Mu family does not wee you, so please leave.¡±
The domestic helpers behind him said all at once, ¡°Please leave!¡±
To be chased away like this would be humiliating to anyone, especially if it was someone like Yin Shaojie who had a high social status. It was mistreatment that he had never faced before.
But Yin Shaojie appeared very calm as if he had already expected it.
He knew very well how much Mu Zhengbo doted on Xiaoxiao, especially after her mother had passed away.
Yin Shaojie stood up, his enigmatic eyes nced upstairs, and he said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll leave.¡±
At least he now knew that Xiaoxiao was awake and know that he had arrived.
Yin Shaojie took two steps before he turned back and said to the butler, ¡°Uncle Qi, tell Xiaoxiao that I will wait for her at the entrance, and I will keep waiting for her until she agrees to meet me.¡±
Butler Qi did not reply to him but only stared at him, holding his hand out and gesturing for him to leave.
Yin Shaojie went to the door after walking down a flight of steps.
Suddenly, a huge bucket of ice water poured down from above and instantly drenched him, his hair sticking on his forehead.
Anyone who was caught in such a situation would definitely look pitiful.
However, Yin Shaojie ran his fingers through his hair. His wet, ck hair was messy but still emanated an indescribable sexiness.
The female helpers, who were watching, were all captivated as they gazed at his handsome face.
Then, their gazes instinctively shifted downward¡
Yin Shaojie¡¯s ck t-shirt was fully drenched as it stuck closely to his body, delineating the contours of his perfect body figure. His sturdy chest and eight-pack abs could easily mesmerize any woman.
The female helpers stared at him almost as if they were going to throw themselves at him.
Chapter 350 - The Pitiful Shaojie (2)
Chapter 350: The Pitiful Shaojie (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Yin Shaojie flung the water off his hair, and without a word, he continued walking out.
The female helpers were all captivated as they could not help but chase after him, watching his tall figure and looking lovestruck.
Butler Qi shot a nce at them, and he coughed forcefully. ¡°Just let him leave. You don¡¯t have to follow him!¡±
They finally snapped out of it and drooped their heads in disappointment.
However, no one dared to go any farther as they were all afraid of Butler Qi.
¡°Okay, forget him. Everyone get back to your post and continue working.¡±
With Butler Qi¡¯s orders, the helpers all scattered back to do their work obediently, though some of the female helpers had still looked back at Yin Shaojie as they walked away.
At this moment, everyone was envious of those who were working in the garden as they could still admire Yin Shaojie¡¯s dashing figure from outside as he stood by the entrance.
It was already autumn, so the temperature was much lower. It would definitely be freezing if one were to stand outside, especially someone who was drenched and not wearing that manyyers like Yin Shaojie.
The female helpers secretly stared at the tall and slender figure outside, and they could not help but feel sorry for him.
In the bedroom.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s bedroom was on the second floor. She was feeling restless in her room, toughly resisting the strong urge to look outside of the balcony so that she would not think about that bastard anymore.
Wasn¡¯t it just a little ice water? How cold could it get?
Besides, he had a car. If he went back to his car, he could use the heater and not freeze outside.
Of course, if he was so stupid that he wouldn¡¯t go to the car, that wouldn¡¯t be any of her problem then!
Mu Xiaoxiao was trying to convince herself and harden her heart. So what if he froze a little? At most, he would just catch a cold. It wouldn¡¯t kill him!
Given how tough Yin Shaojie was, catching a cold should not be a problem to him, right?
Knock knock¡ª
Someone was knocking on the door.
¡°Come in!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said.
Lisa opened the door and entered, carrying the breakfast that Mu Xiaoxiao had instructed the kitchen to prepare earlier.
¡°Miss, your breakfast.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°Okay, ce it here.¡±
Lisa then ced the tes for her breakfast one by one on the coffee table in front of her.
Noticing that Mu Xiaoxiao was ncing out of the balcony from time to time, how could Lisa, who had been her personal helper for so many years, not know what was on her mind?
Lisa said deliberately, ¡°Miss, that young master must have gone silly. He is actually standing right at the door, not even going back to his car. Anyone would know that he will get sick if he continues standing outside in this rather cold weather, drenched from head to toe.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao lowered her head and ate her breakfast as if she had not heard anything.
Lisa felt helpless, but it did not seem appropriate for her to speak anymore.
Miss is usually the most soft-hearted and kindest of all. Whenever she sees a helper get sick, she would always show concern and take initiative to let them take a break from work.
Lisa could not help but think: What exactly did that handsome young master do to have made her Miss so upset?
Ever since she had stepped into the Mu family as a female helper, she had never seen the Miss so merciless.
Mu Xiaoxiao ate slowly, apparently without much appetite.
Lisa asked worriedly, ¡°Miss, is the breakfast not to your liking? Should I ask the kitchen to prepare something else for you to eat?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, ¡°No need. I¡¯m not that hungry. I just need something to fill my stomach. Later, I¡¯ll be going out, and I¡¯ll find something to eat then.¡±
After saying that, her gaze turned outside again as if she could not control herself.
Chapter 351 - The Pitiful Shaojie (3)
Chapter 351: The Pitiful Shaojie (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Lisa thought for a moment before pretending to say casually, ¡°Miss, I heard from the weather forecast that the temperature today will drop quite drastically. So if you¡¯re going out, you should take a jacket with you.¡±
Just as she finished saying that, she looked as if she had remembered something again. ¡°Oh yeah, the weather forecast also said that it may rain today. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s going to start raining soon. Miss, if you look at the sky outside, it appears to be slightly dark. Perhaps, it will start raining soon.¡±
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao lowered her head, thinking about something.
After forcing herself to eat some more of her breakfast, Mu Xiaoxiao used the wet towel to wipe her hands. She stood up and instinctively walked toward the balcony.
Stop!
She quickly stopped herself, her fists clenched tightly.
Mu Xiaoxiao, don¡¯t go soft!
She took a deep breath, trying to empty her mind and not think about how Yin Shaojie was doing outside. No matter what happened to him, it was no longer her problem!
After walking into the changing room, Mu Xiaoxiao came out after a while carrying a bag. Carrying in on her shoulders, she then said to Lisa, ¡°Arrange a car for me to leave by the back door.¡±
She could not stay here any longer.
Though she had restrained herself from seeing Yin Shaojie from the balcony, she realized that he was still lingering on her mind.
Moreover, it was toofortable staying at home. There was nothing to fill her mind, and Yin Shaojie was just outside. Even if she had forgotten him, he would still creep back into her mind.
So it¡¯s still the same saying: ¡°What the eye doesn¡¯t see, the heart doesn¡¯t grieve over!¡±
If she went out, she would not know even if he were to be caught in the rain or if he were to catch a cold, and she would not have to keep thinking about him and be affected by him.
¡°Okay, I¡¯ll arrange it right away,¡± Lisa replied, and she then left the room.
After checking the things in her bag, she carried the bag and went out.
She walked down the corridor, went downstairs from the rear staircase, and walked further towards the rear of the house.
The Mu family¡¯s domestic helpers had all undergone professional training, so they were very efficient. When she arrived at the back gate, the car has already been prepared.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew past. Feeling a little cold, Mu Xiaoxiao she could not help but pause just as she was entering the car.
Lisa helped to cover the top of her head. Seeing that she was staring nkly, she was puzzled and called out to her, ¡°Miss?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao snapped out of it and sat in the car.
Just as Lisa was going to close the door, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly called out, ¡°Lisa.¡±
¡°Miss, what can I do for you?¡± Lisa asked deferentially with both hands at her belly.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s finger was gesturing as she said, ¡°Go and give him a clean set of clothes to change into. After all, all whoe are our guests.¡±
The additional exnation at the end was obviously unnecessary.
If she had really treated him as a guest, then she wouldn¡¯t have allowed him to be chased out of the house so disrespectfully earlier.
Lisa smiled as she nodded. ¡°Understood, Miss.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± After Mu Xiaoxiao gave Lisa instructions, Mu Xiaoxiao felt more at ease and did not worry about it anymore, and she then instructed the chauffeur to start driving.
¡¡
At the front entrance of the vi.
Lisa quickly passed through the garden, carrying a set of men¡¯s leisurely clothes as she walked up to Yin Shaojie.
She said very ceremonially, ¡°Young Master, your clothes are wet. Please change clothes lest you catch a cold.¡±
Yin Shaojie did not even spare her a nce, and he said coldly, ¡°No need.¡±
Lisa was stunned for a moment, and she had no choice but to rephrase what she had said. ¡°It¡¯s Miss who instructed me to bring the clothes here.¡±
Yin Shaojie was still motionless, not responding to her.
Lisa was unsure if he had believed her, and she grew nervous.
Chapter 352 - The Pitiful Shaojie (4)
Chapter 352: The Pitiful Shaojie (4)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
She could not help but say, ¡°Please stop waiting for Miss. Miss just¡ left by the back gate. So, please change into this clean set of clothes; otherwise, you will really get sick.¡±
Hearing about Xiaoxiao¡¯s whereabouts, Yin Shaojie then turned his gaze toward her.
¡°She went out?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Lisa nodded. Thinking that he would finally take the clothes from her, she extended her arm to hand the clothes over to him.
However, Yin Shaojie did not take it, but he turned around, opened the door to the car, and got in.
Lisa was rooted to the ground as she lowered her head, staring at the clothes in her hand, and she let out a sigh.
She could see that the young master cared a lot for the youngdy. But why wouldn¡¯t he take the clothes when she had clearly told him that it was the Miss who had instructed for the clothes to be passed to him.
Lisa was confounded as she thought about this while watching the limousine drive off from the entrance.
In the car.
The chauffeur looked worriedly at Yin Shaojie from the rear-view mirror, and he asked, ¡°Young Master, should I take off my jacket for you to wear?¡±
¡°No need. Drive slower,¡± Yin Shaojie said, pulling out a slimptop from a dark case behind him.
Folding his legs, he ced theptop on his knee, and his slender fingers fluttered on the keyboard.
Very quickly, he gained ess to the district¡¯s surveince system.
It was a district for the wealthy, and all those who lived in the area were the most powerful people in America, so the security was very tight with lots of cameras in every corner.
Usually, Yin Shaojie needed to spend some time before gaining ess to such a secure surveince system. However, he had only spent a few minutes to do it today since he was very anxious.
Though he was unfamiliar with the ce and he did not know where the rear gate that the female helper had spoken of was, he would soon find out.
He gained ess into America¡¯s satellite and found the satellite imagery of this district. Then, ording to the roads¡¯ distribution, he deduced the location of the rear gate that Xiaoxiao had left from.
From the surveince system, he extracted the surveince video from the system¡¯s back-end. After skipping forward in the video, he saw a scene that showed Xiaoxiao entering a car.
Just as they reached a crossroad, Yin Shaojie said to the chauffeur in a deep voice, ¡°Turn right.¡±
The chauffeur quickly reacted to it, turning the steering wheel in time, pulling the car into the road on the right.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s dark, ink-like eyes stared attentively at the map on theputer screen as the gears in his head turned to deduce Xiaoxiao¡¯s location.
Where could she have gone to?
But, no matter where she went, she could not run away as the best part about living in this part of America was that there were surveince cameras everywhere.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes reflected his deep thoughts and perseverance.
Silly girl, don¡¯t think about running away from my sight!
¡
The gray Bentley was driving along the road.
Mu Xiaoxiao was bored to death as she stared at the traffic outside, mulling over where she should be going. Then, she saw a huge shopping mall in front, and there were many big balloons floating above it. It looked like it had just newly opened.
She recalled that this shopping mall was indeed very new as it had still not beenpleted when she had gone back to China.
So this must have opened only recently?
To be able to open a business within a wealthy district must mean that the shopping mall was upper-grade, targeting the wealthy consumer crowd.
Looking at the advertisement board on its wall, one could tell that they would have stores from every big brand.
Seeing a few brands that she fancied, Mu Xiaoxiao grew interested, and she instructed the chauffeur to drive her there.
Whenever girls were unhappy, shopping was the best form of relief!
In the past when she had not understood this, every time her friends brought her out shopping, she would be left puzzled by how wild her friends would get while shopping.
Chapter 353 - The Pitiful Shaojie (5)
Chapter 353: The Pitiful Shaojie (5)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Was shopping that fun?
However, she kind of understood why it was today.
When she was upset and wanted to change her mood, buying something new for herself seemed to not be a bad idea.
Mu Xiaoxiao studied the clothes she was wearing. They weren¡¯t very old, but she recalled that it had been bought about half a year ago.
She wasn¡¯t like her other female friends who insisted on buying clothes from the current season and wouldn¡¯t wear something after it was out of season.
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao was born into a wealthy family, she wasn¡¯t a materialistic person. She had no brand awareness and felt that as long as she liked something, the brand didn¡¯t matter.
Thus, her friends around her sometimes felt like she was a weirdo.
Mu Xiaoxiao ced her hands on her hips. She nned to shop till she dropped today and buy many new clothes and all sorts of new things for herself.
Oh yeah, she should just change out of this set of clothes then!
She took the lift to the third floor and found the area selling women¡¯s wear. She browsed for a bit before entering a store.
Perhaps the business hadn¡¯t been open for long, but there were not a lot of customers and she could see only a few odd customers.
Mu Xiaoxiao liked this. She felt more at ease browsing when there were less people.
She was browsing through a brand called CG right now. It was an international fashion brand that carried teenage girl fashion and was extremely expensive. A single dress cost tens of thousands of American dors ¡ª very, very expensive indeed.
Mu Xiaoxiao ran her hands through the line of clothes as she walked, trying to spot something that would interest her.
The salespeople from such a big brand were professionally trained and were thus very warm, smiling at her continuously.
Mu Xiaoxiao was halfway through the store when she looked up. She zeroed in on a dress in the middle. It was a champagne-colored chiffon dress that looked simple but refined, and it caught her eye.
¡°I want to take a look at this piece!¡±

Two voices said in unison.
Mu Xiaoxiao was astonished. She looked at the girl in front of her. This girl was wearing branded clothes from head to toe, but they weren¡¯t as prestigious as CG. Her hair and face looked carefully dolled up, and she looked like a rich young missy from an affluent family.
She cast a condescending look at Mu Xiaoxiao from top to bottom. Upon seeing that Mu Xiaoxiao had on clothes from half a year ago, the corners of her lips curled up in contempt.
¡°Who are you?¡± How dare you snatch my clothes?¡± the girl said with disdain as she crossed her arms.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t like her attitude. Originally, she had no intention of fighting over the dress, but her anger rose from being goaded by the other girl.
She could give up a man who had been stolen, for he was not the only person in the world.
However, clothes were non-living things, and they belonged to whoever could get it. This was something she didn¡¯t want to back down about.
Why should she back down!
She had been harboring some fury in her heart and didn¡¯t want anything belonging to her to be snatched away again.
Mu Xiaoxiao smirked contemptuously as well. She matched the countenance of the other girl and said, ¡°I noticed this piece. It should be me to tell you not to snatch my clothes away!¡±
She wasn¡¯t a scaredy-cat ¡ª she wasn¡¯t someone who let others bully her easily!
The girl had never imagined that she would be so stubborn. She had thought that she was a prime target for bullying due to her short stature.
¡°I saw it first!¡±
Beside them, the salesperson was in a spot. ¡°Ladies, I¡¯m terribly sorry, but this dress is a limited edition one, so there is only one. Even though other outlets carry it as well, it hasn¡¯t gone on their racks yet. This outlet is the only one that carries it currently. So,dies, which of you wants the dress?¡±

¡°It¡¯s me, of course!¡± the other girl lifted her chin and said to the salesperson directly.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s countenance was much more dignified. She looked at the salesperson and said, ¡°I want this piece. Take it down and I¡¯ll change into it directly.¡±
¡°You ¡ª ¡± The other girl was furious. Just then, her phone rang.
She answered it hastily. In a coquettish voice, she said, ¡°Dear, hurry over here; I¡¯ve been bullied! Didn¡¯t you say you¡¯d let me pick out any piece of clothing I wanted as my birthday gift? There¡¯s a slut trying topete with me for it!¡±
Upon hearing these words, Mu Xiaoxiao smiled in contempt.
It was obvious that this girl couldn¡¯t afford to buy clothes from this store and could only beg for a man to help her.
Mu Xiaoxiao took out her wallet from her bag and opened it. She wanted to take out a card to pay for the dress right then, but her hand froze.
The wallet had only one card in it, and it was the supplementary card that Yin Shaojie had given her.
Her other cards were all in a drawer at home, and she hadn¡¯t taken them out to fill her wallet.
Mu Xiaoxiao was angry with herself. How could she havemitted such a rudimentary mistake!
Now what? She didn¡¯t bring her cards, and the amount of American money in her wallet was too little to purchase the dress.
Must she then watch helplessly as another girl snatched away what she wanted to buy?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart gave an involuntary twinge, and she was experiencing an ufortable, suffocating feeling.
She was so, so unwilling to part with it!
She could actually call her Papa and ask him to send someone over with her card.
However, she would certainly be mocked by the other girl if she made a call at this point in time, so she didn¡¯t want to do this.
Heck it! She¡¯d buy the dress first and think about the consequencester!
Mu Xiaoxiao knew that the other girl didn¡¯t have enough money and thus told the salesperson tyrannically, ¡°I¡¯ll pay double the price!¡±
The other girl was stunned for a moment. Anxiously, she shouted, ¡°How could you use such a dirty trick!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao grinned at her. ¡°You can pay triple the price then. Do you dare?¡± she said, goading her.
The other girl was fuming and gave Mu Xiaoxiao a death stare.
She couldn¡¯t even afford the dress at the original price, much less triple the price!
Even though her boyfriend had agreed to gift her a piece of clothing for her birthday, an amount triple the price was too expensive, and her boyfriend would definitely not agree to pay.
Just then, the girl sighted a silhouette from outside the shop. She froze before a malicious idea shed into her head, and her lips curled calctingly.
The girl looked towards Mu Xiaoxiao and suddenly, in a pleasant voice, said, ¡°We¡¯re all respectabledies here. It¡¯ll look so ugly if we fight here. How about this: Let¡¯s make a bet, and if you win, I¡¯ll let you have the piece. What do you think?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was confused as to her quick change in attitude.
She followed the girl¡¯s gaze and looked out. She saw a tall, handsome figure ¡ª it was a brown-haired foreign hunk.
When she saw the familiar side profile of the guy, Mu Xiaoxiao froze before her lips curled up into a smile.
Her savior was here!
Just then, the other girl chuckled darkly and said, ¡°Do you see that handsome guy outside? I¡¯ve noticed him before, and I¡¯m interested in him. If you can get his number for me, it¡¯ll count as your win; how about that?¡±
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips to prevent herself fromughing out loud.
The other girl noticed her shoulders shaking and thought that she was afraid. Her beam widened as she said, ¡°What? Scared now? If you don¡¯t dare to do it, you can simply admit your loss. If you lose, you¡¯ll have to pay for the dress and also give it to me!¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao pretended not to understand and asked, ¡°Why are you suggesting something like this out of the blue? It¡¯s kind of weird.¡±
The girl looked a little anxious at this. Afraid that her n would be foiled, she said hastily, ¡°I only wanted to resolve this peacefully! Also, even if I lose, I¡¯ll be able to get that hunk¡¯s number, so it¡¯s no loss to me at all.¡±
With that said, she smirked darkly. Let¡¯s see if you¡¯re lucky enough to get his number then.
The handsome boy outside was called William. The girl knew him because he was one of the notable people in the school for the elite. However, he was very unpredictable due to his entric nature, and many girls who had wanted to seduce him had ended up being punished terribly ¡ª some even got disfigured! Anyway, as rumors of his cruelty spread, more and more girls gradually avoided him.
The reason for the girl requesting Mu Xiaoxiao to get William¡¯s number for her was exactly due to this. She wanted to witness Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s demise.
Mu Xiaoxiao was amused by herical look of self-justification.
Mu Xiaoxiao smirked confidently. ¡°Sure, let¡¯s bet then! It¡¯s a little unfair to me though. Why do I have to buy the dress for you if I lose, but you only have to let me have the dress if you lose?¡±
¡°If I lose, I¡¯ll pay for you too; no problem!¡± The girl was very confident that she wouldn¡¯t lose the bet, for any girl who dared to approach William would meet a terrible end!
Even if Mu Xiaoxiao could escape unscathed, she might not be able to get his number as well.
She thought about her victory and how she wouldn¡¯t need to spend money to buy this branded dress anymore. She¡¯d be able to wear this to ss, where she would be the subject of the envy of many. The girlughed ostentatiously to herself.
Mu Xiaoxiao snapped her fingers. ¡°It¡¯s a deal!¡±
¡°Hurry up and go over then, or he¡¯ll be gone soon!¡± The girl crossed her arms, waiting to witness her punishment.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and tried not tough. She really wanted to tell the girl right there that she already had his number saved in her phone, making it pointless to ask him for it.
However, she had to pretend she didn¡¯t!
Mu Xiaoxiao catwalked over to William.
¡°Hey, you gorgeous hunk in front, may I have your number?¡± she purred deliberately.
William was leaning on a pir, looking as if he was waiting for someone, his expression impatient.
Upon hearing the voice behind him, he frowned and turned around, intending to chase away a crazily infatuated girl.
Unexpectedly, his eyes met Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s as he turned around, and his face lit up with a smile instantly.
¡°When did youe back?¡± His eyes were smiling. Stepping forward, he looped a long arm around Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s shoulders.
Mu Xiaoxiao poked his chest. ¡°I¡¯m in the middle of some acting; cooperate with me!¡±
¡°Acting?¡± William narrowed his pretty green eyes as he looked behind her. He then noticed a girl looking over anxiously.
¡°Girl, what are you trying to pull now?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted as her eyebrows drooped, disying a pitiful look. ¡°I¡¯ve been bullied¡¡± she whined.
William looked as though he had heard a joke. ¡°How can our Great Mistress Mu be bullied by anyone?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded seriously, her eyes brimming with injustice as she said, ¡°It¡¯s that girl. She couldn¡¯t fight over me for a piece of clothing, so she suggested a bet where I¡¯ll win if I can get your number.¡±
William understood the situation immediately, and his lips pursed coldly. ¡°That¡¯s very calcting of her!¡±

William was well aware of his reputation in other schools. Even though there were certain incidents he wasn¡¯t responsible for, he was toozy to exin himself. Anyway, this reduced his annoyances as well, which he felt was great.
William squeezed his fists and walked over, looking like he wanted to punish the girl.
Upon seeing his posture, the girl got a fright. She thought that Mu Xiaoxiao had outed her so that both of them would be punished together and made to run away.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want William to hit the girl, but before she could restrain him, the girl had already started to run.
No!
How could she let her escape!
Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao shouted hurriedly to William, ¡°Chase her! Don¡¯t let her get away!¡±
¡°Yes Ma¡¯am!¡± William smirked sinisterly. His long legs shot out, his shocking speed mimicking that of an arrow shot from a bow as he ran.
Mu Xiaoxiao dashed forward and gave chase as well to prevent him from beating her up once he caught her.
This guy had no concept of gentlemanliness and wouldn¡¯t hesitate to hit a girl.
The girl only ran for a short while before she saw her boyfriend. Both of them almost knocked into each other.
¡°Dear, what happened to you? Didn¡¯t you want to buy a dress?¡± the boy asked quizzically.
¡°Heck that, I¡¯m about to die! Run!¡±
It was only then that the boy felt a looming presence rushing over. He turned and noticed William running over towards them.
It was impossible to escape at this point now.
William shot forward and blocked their exit. ¡°Trying to escape? No one can outrun me!¡±
The girl trembled in fear and hid behind her boyfriend, tugging nervously on his shirt.
¡°Young Master William! Don¡¯t believe what the girl says; I have nothing to do with this! She was the one who wanted to chat you up herself. I don¡¯t know who she is!¡±
The boy was shaking as well and nodded along with her. ¡°Yes, yes, Young Master William, we really don¡¯t know her.¡±
William sneered at them coldly. ¡°Shut up! You have no right to be associated with my baby!¡±
The girl was stunned at these words. What did he mean?
Both she and her boyfriend looked at each other in consternation.
When Mu Xiaoxiao finally caught up, William was already there with his arms crossed. ¡°Baby, how do you want to punish these two?¡± he asked in a bullying tone.
The girl stared at Mu Xiaoxiao dazedly, unable to speak.
So it turned out that¡ she knew Young Master William?!
Mu Xiaoxiao walked over slowly and stood beside William, a pleased smile hanging on her exquisite little face. ¡°You¡¯ve lost,¡± she grinned as she told the girl.
The girl was speechless. But you¡¯re clearly acquainted with Young Master William!
However, she recalled her scheming earlier and couldn¡¯t retort back.
The girl said timidly, ¡°What¡ What are you going to do then?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao spread her arms and shrugged. ¡°Admit defeat like a gracious loser, of course; what else?¡±
Blood drained from the girl¡¯s face as she recalled the terms of the gamble. ¡°I don¡¯t have that much money¡¡± she said, looking like she was on the verge of tears.
The girl then turned to her boyfriend and whispered something in his ear.
Since her boyfriend had already agreed to pay for a piece of clothing she wanted as her birthday gift, he might as well just pay for this.
Her boyfriend was extremely astonished when he heard the price of the dress, and his eyes looked as though they were going to pop out. ¡°That¡¯s expensive!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao wagged a finger at them and said, ¡°Haven¡¯t you forgotten something? I said that I was going to buy it at double the price, so you¡¯ll have to pay up double.¡±

Upon hearing that he had to pay that much money, the boyfriend refused, saying, ¡°That¡¯s too expensive! It¡¯s daylight robbery! I¡¯m using my dad¡¯s card, so I can¡¯t spend that much! He¡¯ll kill me!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled at him warmly. ¡°Rx, I¡¯m not asking you to pay up, since you¡¯re not the person I made the gamble with,¡± she replied.
Upon hearing this, the girl¡¯s face turned even paler. She tugged at her boyfriend¡¯s shirt tightly and hid behind his back. ¡°I don¡¯t have money! I don¡¯t have that much money even if you kill me!¡± she said shamelessly.
William cocked his brows and looped a long arm around Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s shoulders as a mean smile smirked from his handsome face.
¡°You can always sell yourself if you don¡¯t have money. I have the means to help you out there. Do you want to sell your body or your organs?¡±
The girl¡¯s legs felt like jelly now. She wailed, ¡°Please, no! Young Master William, I didn¡¯t know that you were acquainted with this girl ¡ª I was only joking with her! I really can¡¯t afford it!¡±
¡°Shut your nonsense!¡± an annoyed William roared. He hated it the most when women spoke like this, for their shrill voices hurt his ears.
While the girl tried to stick herself to her boyfriend, he was trying to push her away.
¡°Bear the burdens of your own folly! I only promised to get you a birthday gift, and I never agreed to gift you something this expensive!¡±
¡°Boohoo, what am I supposed to do then?¡±
William couldn¡¯t stand all the nonsense anymore. He reached out a hand to the girl and said, ¡°Give me your wallet.¡±
With trembling hands, the girl took her wallet out from her bag and gave it to him.
William fished around the wallet. He ignored the cash but picked out the credit cards.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. ¡°There are so many credit cards?¡±
There was more than five of them at a nce.
William smiled sinisterly. ¡°I don¡¯t believe there¡¯s not enough money in here if we overdraw all of them!¡±
Upon hearing this, the girl¡¯s entire body went limp, and her face turned lifeless.
After a few minutes of settling the payment with all the cards, William let the couple go.
He sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, waiting.
After a short while, Mu Xiaoxiao finished changing and walked over. Her little face was beaming with joy as she lifted the corners of her skirt and did a little twirl.
¡°How is it? Isn¡¯t it pretty?¡±
William gave her a thumbs up. ¡°It looks great! You look good in everything you wear, baby!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know if it was because her stint in China had made her not used to being addressed by him like this, but now that things felt like they had returned to the way they were before, it made her feel as though she had never left.
¡°Okay, let¡¯s go then!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to change back to her old clothes and was nning to throw them away.
William stretched out an arm and let her hold onto it as he swept a nce around the other clothes in the store.
¡°Are you only going to buy one? Don¡¯t you want to browse a little more?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked around. ¡°Actually, there are some other clothes that look quite nice¡¡±
¡°Browse around more then. It¡¯s rare for me to apany you on such trips, and because I don¡¯t know when I¡¯ll do this with you again, go on and browse some more and buy it if you like it.¡± He felt that the clothes from this store were quite good.
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed and said intively, ¡°Never mind, I forgot to bring my card¡¡±
William smiled as he looked at her. ¡°Aren¡¯t I here? You look so happy to be back, so I¡¯ll pay for whatever you choose.¡±
¡°Really?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao grinned widely. As this sort of expenditure was nothing to William¡¯s finances, she wasn¡¯t going to stand on ceremony and refuse.
¡°Buy whatever you want so long as it makes you happy.¡±

Thus, they strolled around and browsed the clothes on the shelf as William held her.
He got the salesperson to pick out the clothes Mu Xiaoxiao gave more attention to and also those he felt would look good on her.
They unknowingly picked out more than ten pieces.
Mu Xiaoxiao eximed, ¡°So many? I don¡¯t feel like trying them on anymore¡¡±
She wanted to give up this retail therapy session when she thought about needing to try every piece on.
William smiled. ¡°Why should you try them on here? Let them deliver them to your house directly, and you can try them on one by one when you¡¯re bored.¡±
He then snapped his fingers, bringing a salesperson over.
The smiled on the salesperson¡¯s face looked as though it was about to split her ears open. ¡°Young Master William, how may I be of service to you?¡± she asked obsequiously.
¡°Wrap all of this up and deliver them to this ce.¡±
He then fished out his own card.
The salesperson received the cared respectfully and went to settle the payment quickly before noting down the ce of delivery.
After the two of them walked out of the store, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly recalled something. ¡°William, why are you here?¡± she asked.
He was a person who didn¡¯t like to shop, so how did he end up at the shopping center?
William¡¯s face turned sour at the mention of this. ¡°I was dragged out here by the women of the house to apany them to shop. It was boring me to death, so I escaped while they weren¡¯t looking,¡± heined.
He hadn¡¯t expected to meet her.
It was William¡¯s turn to question her now. ¡°Oh yeah, why didn¡¯t you say anything before you came back? You should¡¯ve gathered everyone to celebrate. We miss you very much.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face fell suddenly as she recalled her sadness.
¡°William, can you please not tell everyone that I¡¯vee back?¡±
William stopped walking and studied her expression. ¡°What happened?¡± he asked seriously.
This girl¡¯s face was an open book, and he could tell with a single nce that there was something wrong.
¡°I¡¡± What should she say? That she was heartbroken? That her heart had been hurt by her childhood friend?
Actually, Mu Xiaoxiao felt like there was nothing she couldn¡¯t say in front of William. William was one of her closest friends, and there were a tacit understanding and friendship between them that didn¡¯t require words to describe.
¡
On the other hand, Yin Shaojie also arrived at this particr shopping center. He got the driver to wait outside, and he entered alone. He first went to the area selling male fashion and changed into a fresh set of clothes.
He then began his search for Xiaoxiao in this gigantic mall.
As he walked, he felt a strong gut feeling that Xiaoxiao was right here and not far off from him!
Actually, Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t a person who believed in telepathy, but he did in this moment as he walked forward ording to his instincts.
From afar, he spotted a petite figure. It was a silhouette that he was more than familiar with.
However, he suddenly stopped short because the girl was currently being embraced by a tall boy. The pair¡¯s posture looked intimate as though they were lovers.
That couldn¡¯t be Xiaoxiao then.
However, Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t control his legs, and he continued walking in their direction.
When he saw Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face, his heart sank.
It really was her!
Like a lurking ck panther, Yin Shaojie¡¯s sharp gaze locked onto them as he walked over briskly.
While talking to Mu Xiaoxiao, William suddenly felt a mysterious murderous intent. He pushed Mu Xiaoxiao away just as he felt the air ripple with an iing punch before blocking it with his palm.

¡°Who are you?!¡±
¡°Who are you?!¡±
Both boys roared at the same time as they confronted each other with their gazes, the air looking almost as though it was sparking with electricity.
Mu Xiaoxiao eximed, astonished, ¡°Yin Shaojie, how did you know I was here?¡±
Yin Shaojie reached out and grabbed her arm, his deep, dark eyes gazing into hers. ¡°Come with me,¡± he said in a bullying tone as he tried to keep his anger in.
¡°No!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao twisted her arm, trying to shake him off.
¡°Xiaoxiao, don¡¯t cause a ruckus yet, we¡¡± Before he could finish, Mu Xiaoxiao had already been snatched away by someone else.
William pulled Xiaoxiao to his side and stood in front of her. He red at Yin Shaojie fiercely. ¡°Who are you?¡±
Yin Shaojie was extremely p*ssed at him and said sharply, ¡°Who are you? It¡¯s none of your d*med business when I¡¯m talking to my woman!¡±
Blood rushed to his head as he thought about how this man had been embracing Xiaoxiao and how he was currently in a defensive posture protecting Xiaoxiao. It was an eyesore.
¡°Your woman?¡± William harrumphed. Turning to look at Xiaoxiao, he asked, ¡°Tell me, baby, is what he¡¯s saying true? Are you his woman?¡±
Upon hearing how he addressed Xiaoxiao, the vein on Yin Shaojie¡¯s temple started twitching violently.
Baby?
He had never even addressed Xiaoxiao like that before!
What was this guy¡¯s rtionship with Xiaoxiao exactly?!
A thought shed in Yin Shaojie¡¯s mind. Could this be¡ the only boyfriend Xiaoxiao had dated and had been talking about?
The gaze Yin Shaojie was looking at William with turned even colder.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Yin Shaojie with the gaze of looking at a stranger and deliberately hugged William¡¯s arm.
She then shook her head. ¡°No, I¡¯m not. What¡¯s this person talking about? I have no rtionship with him!¡±
William only needed a single nce at her gaze to understand what was going on.
He smiled sexily and looped a long arm around her shoulders. ¡°Tell him about my rtionship with you then,¡± he said deliberately.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s breathing stopped involuntarily as he gazed upon the both of them.
His gaze was locked on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face as he awaited her answer.
Mu Xiaoxiao was, of course, aware of what William was trying to pull off.
She looked at Yin Shaojie and said purposely, ¡°William¡¯s my boyfriend! Understood?¡±
With those words, she pulled William along as she left.
¡°Ignore him; let¡¯s go.¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s entire being was rooted to the spot, his gaze fixated on her silhouette, unwilling to look away.
Was she telling the truth?
Just then, Yin Shaojie felt a sharp pain in his heart.
He took a deep breath to try to relieve the intense pain in his heart but suddenly thought: Did Xiaoxiao feel the same pain as he did when she was sad?
No, it must have been worse than what he was feeling right now!
This was because she must have misunderstood things and thought that he had kissed An Zhixin. If not, she wouldn¡¯t have fled to America suddenly.
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help but think about how he would feel if he saw Xiaoxiao kissing this boy.
It was only a thought, but Yin Shaojie saw red and felt murderous.
He would kill anyone who dared to kiss her!
¡
Mu Xiaoxiao followed William into his car.
William turned around to look at her expression and noticed that the smile on her face had long disappeared. Her usually bright, clear eyes were reced by hurt and disappointment.
¡°Oi, you like him, don¡¯t you?¡± he asked bluntly.
Chapter 360 - Hes My Boyfriend (2)
Chapter 360: He¡¯s My Boyfriend (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s lips trembled, and her eyes slowly became watery as she nodded without saying a word.
William narrowed his eyes, and he made another deduction. ¡°He broke your heart, so you decided toe back, is that right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes were burning with tears as she nodded.
Seeing the look of her, William sighed, his long arm assertively pulling her close to him, letting her head rest on his shoulders.
¡°If you feel like crying, cry. Why hold it in?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was sobbing as she said, ¡°I¡ have already cried a lot yesterday¡ I don¡¯t want to cry anymore.¡±
She had said that she didn¡¯t want to like Yin Shaojie anymore, so she didn¡¯t want to cry for him.
William cursed under his breath, and he said angrily, ¡°No wonder when I saw you earlier, it looked like your eyes were swollen with wisps of blood. So I didn¡¯t see wrong.¡±
How much had this girl been crying for?
Mu Xiaoxiao sounded gloomy as she said, ¡°Last night, I iced the area for quite a while. If I hadn¡¯t done that, it would appear much worse, and I wouldn¡¯t be able to face anyone.¡±
William rubbed her head and said, ¡°Do you want me to stand up for you and get some people to give him a good beating?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°No¡¡±
Moreover, Yin Shaojie was so powerful. They wouldn¡¯t be able to beat him.
¡°Okay then. You can tell me what you want to do, and I¡¯ll help you do it. What about now? What do you want to do? Do you want to find a ce to cry out loud? Or do you want to find a ce to eat? Perhaps you want to eat strawberry cakes, your favorite?¡± William asked as he lifted her little head and pinched her tender cheeks.
If it was in the past, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes would have beamed upon hearing of strawberry cakes, and her worries would have been thrown to the wind.
But now, she was unmoved. She only shook her head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat anymore.¡±
William let go of her, leaning toward her to help her buckle her seat belt, and he then started the sports car.
¡°Then we¡¯ll just go roam around then. Tell me if you feel like going anywhere.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
William had been driving for a few minutes, his green eyes shot a nce at the rear-view mirror as he noticed a ck limousine following closely behind.
He said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°That bastard is following us.¡±
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao turned back to see the ck limousine, but she could not confirm whether it was Yin Shaojie.
¡°It may not be him¡¡±
She had noticed earlier the grim look on Yin Shaojie when she had said that William was his boyfriend.
Perhaps he had given up his hopes on her and left?
Strangely, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mood dropped again.
William smirked. ¡°We¡¯ll test him and find out. Baby, sit tight.¡±
He pulled the car into a road with fewer cars. Following that, he made many turns. If it was just a normal car, they would have lost him.
However, when he returned to the main road, the ck limousine appeared again just as expected.
William had memorized the car te earlier, so he could not be wrong.
¡°It seems that he still can¡¯t get over you.¡± Williamughed.
Mu Xiaoxiao could not express her feelings, so she said nothing. Her mind was in a state of confusion.
She could not help but imagine what Yin Shaojie would say to him if she gave him another chance to talk to her alone.
Would he say that he had only been ying with An Zhixin?
Or would he say that he had only been testing to see how much he would feel toward An Zhixin?
Actually, Mu Xiaoxiao knew how much Yin Shaojie cared about her, but¡ she was selfish, and she didn¡¯t want to be just one out of many.
Chapter 361 - Hes My Boyfriend (3)
Chapter 361: He¡¯s My Boyfriend (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
As she was reminded of the peculiar look on Yin Shaojie when he met with An Zhixin that night and the care that he had toward An Zhixin, even passing her own clothes that he had given her to An Zhixin and how he had allowed An Zhixin to stay at the apartment under his name¡
¡ all these things made clear to her how special An Zhixin was to him.
No matter how much he liked An Zhixin, whether it was more or less than how much he liked herself¡
¡ Mu Xiaoxiao felt that she did not even want him anymore.
Because this was not the kind of love that she wanted. What she wanted was something exclusive, and she must be the only one.
She hated how she had topete for him with other girls.
Even if An Zhixin had only upied one part of his heart while she upied 99 parts, it was imperfect!
Mu Xiaoxiao knew that she was slightly biased, to be obsessed about love and pursue something too perfect.
However, since it was not what she wanted, then she didn¡¯t want it any longer. That was her most truthful thought.
Although¡ she still missed him deeply¡
¡ this was something that she could not control for the time being, and she didn¡¯t know what to do with it either.
Mu Xiaoxiao let out a deep sigh and said to William, ¡°Lose him then. I don¡¯t want to see him.¡±
After analyzing what she wanted in love, it also allowed her to cast aside her earlier hesitation.
So what if she were to give him a chance to exin himself?
So what if, in the end, he confirmed that he liked her more?
She didn¡¯t want it anymore!
If it wasn¡¯t fully devoted love, she wouldn¡¯t care for it!
William cast a nce at her, and he nodded. ¡°Yes, Ma¡¯am!¡±
However, after several tries using professional reverse tracking techniques, he could not manage to ditch Yin Shaojie sessfully.
William felt amused, and heughed. ¡°He¡¯s not too bad. No wonder you like him.¡±
There were less than a few cars that he couldn¡¯t ditch.
Honestly, even though the fellow had hurt Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart, he had a little admiration toward him.
Mu Xiaoxiao red at William and said, ¡°Are youplimenting him? At this time, you should be standing on my side and cursing him together with me!¡±
¡°Okay, okay, okay. I¡¯ll help you to curse him. How do you want to curse him? I¡¯m fluent in profanity across allnguages,¡± Williamughed and said.
He made Mu Xiaoxiaough. ¡°Never mind. Just lose him. It¡¯s quite annoying to have him keep following us.¡±
If Yin Shaojie would follow her wherever she went, she would be really annoyed.
However, she felt it was unbelievable. How exactly did Yin Shaojie find out that she was at the shopping mall? Could he have opened his third eye or something? It was totally unfathomable!
It was the first time that she felt that she didn¡¯t understand Yin Shaojie. It turned out that there was such an unfathomable side to him.
William took out a wireless earphone from the drawer and wore it. Then, he made a call.
After talking for a few minutes, he hung up the call.
Mu Xiaoxiao had been deep in thought earlier and had not noticed what he had said over the phone. She asked, ¡°So what now?¡±
¡°It¡¯ll be settled quickly!¡± William smiled confidently as he said.
Mu Xiaoxiao was also very curious about what kind of method he would use to ditch Yin Shaojie.
William drove up the highway and passed the suspension bridge.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked around. ¡°Where are you driving to? Out of the suburb?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll ditch him quickly. Then, I¡¯ll take you somewhere to y. I guarantee that you¡¯ll feel better.¡±
As he finished speaking, they turned into a secluded road.
Suddenly, a ck car went past them, and it then stopped horizontally in the middle of the road.

Snapping his fingers loudly, William said smugly, ¡°Watch.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao curiously looked behind, and she saw Yin Shaojie¡¯s car almost barbarically and forcefully run into the car blocking in the middle of the road.
She was startled. Yin Shaojie, this guy¡ This is really the type of thing that he would do!
¡°He catched up again¡¡±
William whistled and gave praise, saying, ¡°Not bad! He has attitude. I like it!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, displeased as she said, ¡°Why are youplimenting him again! He is my enemy now, okay? Enemy!¡±
¡°Rx!¡± Williamughed. ¡°It¡¯s interesting this way. It¡¯s been so long since I have met such a strong opponent. Can¡¯t you let me enjoy it for awhile?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao did not know whether tough or cry. ¡°Then,e up with a way to ditch him quickly¡¡±
¡°I still have n B!¡± Williamughed mysteriously.
At another crossroad, four cars suddenly appeared from behind, following closely behind Yin Shaojie, and they slowly caught up. One of the cars drove in front of Yin Shaojie, two were nking him, and the other closed up behind him.
The situation was that Yin Shaojie was like a sandwich cookie, stuck in the middle.
William squinted at the rear-view mirror, and he smirked and said, ¡°This is the ultimate technique. If he can still escape this, then I¡¯ll be really impressed!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was slightly nervous as she looked to the back, and she asked worriedly, ¡°It won¡¯t turn out badly, right?¡±
¡°No. At most, there¡¯ll be a few idents,¡± William joked. ¡°His car is a good one. He won¡¯t get hurt so easily.¡±
Just as he finished speaking, the four cars that he had arranged began to move.
The two cars on the right forcefully bumped into Yin Shaojie¡¯s car again and again.
The car in front blocked Yin Shaojie¡¯s path and forced him to slow down.
William could already see how it would end, and he whistled before reminding her, ¡°Baby, hold tight. We¡¯re leaving!¡±
Then, he suddenly stepped on the elerator, and the sports car sped forward.
¡
The streamlined sports car stopped beside the harbor.
As the car door opened, Mu Xiaoxiao got out of the car. The sunlight was quite ring, so she held her hand in front of her eyes.
¡°Why are we here?¡±
She was pulled along by William as they walked forward.
Half an hour ago, they had sessfully ditched Yin Shaojie¡¯s car. Then, William changed their direction and drove the car to the harbor.
Was he thinking of taking her out to sea?
Actually, their group of friends would usually take a yacht out for fun. These types of gathering were trendy in the States. A bunch of people taking the yacht out to party, suntan, y, or even fish. They could spend a whole day doing that, and sometimes, they may even stay overnight on the yacht.
Mu Xiaoxiao knew that William had quite a few yachts in this harbor, big and small. He could sail whichever he wanted.
William was apletely hedonistic person.
However, William did not take her on a yacht but on a speedboat.
Mu Xiaoxiao was naturally not worried that he would sell her away, so she followed him onto the speedboat without suspecting him.
Puzzled, she asked, ¡°So we¡¯ll just be going for a spin at sea?¡±
Might as well have taken the yacht instead. At least it had a ce to rest.
William was warning her to hold tight while staying mysterious as he said, ¡°I told you I would take you somewhere fun. I guarantee that you will be pleasantly surprised.¡±
He piqued her curiosity. ¡°What is it exactly? Can you not keep me in suspense?¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°It¡¯ll be quick! Sit tight, and you¡¯ll know when we are there.¡±
Wearing sunsses, William drove the speedboat dashingly as if they were flying above the sea.
¡°Ah¡ª Can you slow down!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao screamed as she felt as if she was going to be flung up.
They continued to rock about as they rode the speedboat.
After some time, Mu Xiaoxiao was already exhausted, and William finally said, ¡°We¡¯re reaching soon! Look ahead.¡±
¡°What¡¯s ahead? Mu Xiaoxiao was gloomy. It was just sea everywhere, and there are no inds. What could there be ahead?
When she looked ahead, she saw the monstrous thing before her, and she was stupefied.
A cruise ship!
The speedboat turned a corner stylishly, brushing past the side of the cruise.
Mu Xiaoxiao was frightened as she held tightly, expecting that they would crash, her heart shuddering for a moment.
¡°Are you trying to scare me to death!¡±
Just at the side of the cruise, she saw the name of the luxury cruise¡ª Princess Annie.
Annie?
Isn¡¯t that his sister¡¯s name?
¡°Why does this cruise have Annie¡¯s name?¡± she could not help but ask.
William looked at her, and heughed and said, ¡°It was named after her. It¡¯s my family¡¯s business.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao tilted her head back to see the luxury cruise before her. It was just like a mountain, and she could not tell how tall it was.
William drove the speedboat quickly to the entrance. In a few moments, there were people who came to wee them, and they let down thedder to get them aboard.
¡°Young Master William,¡± the others greeted him deferentially.
¡°Yeah.¡± William nodded.
Obviously, Mu Xiaoxiao knew that his family was very wealthy, but she had no idea how rich they were. It should be noted that possessing such a luxurious cruise was a feat that the ordinary wealthy and powerful could not achieve.
Puzzled, she asked, ¡°What did you bring me here for?¡±
William exined to her. It turned out that there was a banquet held for the rich and powerful families on the cruise. It gathered almost all of America¡¯s rich and powerful people, and it would be held for three consecutive days with lots of interesting activities. So, he thought to bring her here to y.
Mu Xiaoxiao had also heard of these rich people¡¯s banquets from her father. It was only open to the most wealthy of people, allowing them towork and facilitate more business.
Initially, her father had wanted to take her to attend it, but she was not too interested in banquets and found them boring. Moreover, there were not many people that she knew there, so she always refused to go.
Mu Xiaoxiao was smiling inside. If Papa had known that I had refused him so many times, but came with a friend, he would probably get quite jealous, wouldn¡¯t he?
William pulled her as they walked across the plywood. When they entered, he exined to her just how big the cruise was.
It had in total 100 suites and ten restaurants offering delicacies from every country. There were also a movie theater, library, performance theater, and many more. It also had a big casino. At the top deck, it had a golf course, a tennis court, a swimming pool, and many more. In short, it was just like a luxurious neighborhood, unbelievably huge.
But such a huge cruise would only invite a few hundred guests, so the people who would receive invitations were only those in America who held a highly influential status.
William said, ¡°Oh yeah. There is also an auction hall. There is an auction happening tonight. I guess you haven¡¯t seen it before, right? I¡¯ll take you there to have fun. If you see anything you fancy, tell me, and I¡¯ll buy it for you.¡±
Hearing his chivalry, Mu Xiaoxiao could not help butugh, and she joked, ¡°Are you going to buy it for me no matter how expensive it is?¡±
It was an auction. Who knew how high the price might go?
Chapter 364 - You Treat Me the Best (1)
Chapter 364: You Treat Me the Best (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Moreover, all those who were going were extremely wealthy. Obviously, the auctioned items would definitely be very costly.
¡°Of course I¡¯ll buy it! Brother is rich!¡± William raised his handsome face, looking extremely pompous.
Mu Xiaoxiao acted coquettishly as she shook his arm and said, ¡°Brother, you¡¯re too rich! Is your familycking a sister? How about I be your sister?¡±
William smiled as he pinched her nose. ¡°I have no problem with that, but you are your father¡¯s precious baby. Do you think that he will consent to it?¡±
Besides, though his family was rich, so was hers.
However, this girl seemed to have no clue about just how powerful her own family was.
Mu Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue. She could totally imagine that her father would definitely go mad after hearing her say that.
William took her to wash her face before taking her to a restaurant to eat.
Time had gone by quickly, and it was already close to lunch time.
¡°What would you like to eat?¡± he asked.
¡°I¡¯m fine with anything,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said as she looked around the restaurant. It seemed to be a Chinese restaurant, and she could smell the familiar fragrance of delicacies.
¡°When you went back to China, were you used to the food there?¡±
¡°Yeah, I was. We eat a lot of Chinese food at home; how could I not be used to it? Oh yeah! When I went back, I ate a Cantonese-style morning tea, and I liked it so much! Pity that they don¡¯t have the real thing here in America.¡±
On the mention of this, Mu Xiaoxiao could not help but recall the time that she spent at the hot spring vi and the things that happened there.
Ripples of emotion could be seen in her eyes as Mu Xiaoxiao stopped talking, but because William had not turned back to look, he didn¡¯t notice it.
¡°Eat Chinese food then?¡± he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded tepidly, losing her high spirit from earlier. ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m fine with Chinese food. I¡¯m feeling like drinking soup suddenly.¡±
The two found seats and sat down. The restaurant¡¯s manager then came to them personally.
¡°Young Master William, what would you like to eat?¡±
William pushed the menu to Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°You order. I¡¯m not familiar with Chinese food.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao picked a few dishes and some soup at random.
William loudly snapped his fingers to beckon the waiter and gave him some instructions.
Just as Mu Xiaoxiao was in her thoughts with her head lowered, something pink was shifted in front of her.
She took a look, and it was actually a strawberry cake!
¡°Eat some first. It seems that Chinese food is slow to prepare. You should be hungry, right?¡± William asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao was moved as she stared at him. ¡°William¡ª you¡¯re so considerate!¡±
William squinted as he looked at her, his hand giving her forehead a push. ¡°You ungrateful little thing. Do you think I would be this considerate to just anyone?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her head as if she was a little chick pecking at rice, and she said in a soft voice, ¡°I know, I know. You treat me the best.¡±
William reached out his hand and touched her head. ¡°So, you¡¯d better regain your spirits, and stop looking so listless. It makes me ufortable looking at you.¡±
The Mu Xiaoxiao that he knew was a girl full of energy and personality, not like a dejected girl who seemed to have lost her spirit.
William could feel that this girl had attached deep feelings onto the guy from earlier.
The deeper she fell into love, the greater the pain upon getting hurt.
This was something that he understood deeply from experience, so he did not want to see her go through the same thing.
He could not help but ask, ¡°You and that guy should have known each other for a long time, right?¡±
Considering that she had only returned to China for slightly more than a month, even if she had really liked someone, it couldn¡¯t have developed into such a deep love in such a short while.
Though Mu Xiaoxiao did not really like to discuss it, William was her good friend and had also put so much effort into helping her lift her mood.
Chapter 365 - You Treat Me the Best (2)

Thus, she said, ¡°Me and him¡ We¡¯re childhood best friends. Our families were long-time friends and we¡¯ve known each other from the day I was born. Our rtionship was really good when we were kids, and we yed together often until I came to the States.
¡°So it¡¯s like that¡¡± William was deep in thought for a while. No wonder this girl had fallen so hard.
Mu Xiaoxiao was eating a piece of cake with her fork when someone tapped her on her shoulder so hard that she almost smashed face-down onto the cake.
¡°Oh, so it¡¯s you, Mu Xiaoxiao. I was wondering who it was that could make my cousin bring someone up here specially.¡±
A cutesy voice rang out from behind her.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t need to turn back to know who the owner of the annoying voice belonged to.
Mu Xiaoxiao pped the table as she cast a sidelong nce at Betty. ¡°I don¡¯t think we¡¯re that close. You don¡¯t have to give me that warm of a wee,¡± she said.
Betty was also a student of the school Xiaoxiao had studied at in America. They were both in the same year, but she wasn¡¯t as popr as Xiaoxiao was, and she had her limelight unknowingly stolen by Xiaoxiao often. Thus, she looked upon Xiaoxiao as her rival.
Even though Betty was William¡¯s cousin and William was on extremely good terms with Xiaoxiao, this did not endear them to each other to be friends.
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao never provoked anyone, Betty would do so asionally.
However, since William was here, the most Betty could do was be sarcastic towards Xiaoxiao, for she didn¡¯t dare to do anything extreme.
This, however, made her hate Xiaoxiao even more. Why did she think of countless ways to try to please her cousin, while the girl she hated was good friends with him? Also, Betty often felt jealous at how well William treated Xiaoxiao.
Betty gave a smile that didn¡¯t reach her eyes. ¡°You¡¯re my cousin¡¯s good friend, so it¡¯s natural that I give you a warm wee. If not, who knows if you¡¯ll speak ill of me to him?¡±
William held an extremely important position in his family, and it was almost certain that he was going to be the new heir. Thus, he had absolute say in things, and a casual remark of his could make Betty¡¯s life a living hell.
In William¡¯s family, many of the younger generation all wanted to win William over and please him badly, and Betty was no exception. Thus, even though she really hated Mu Xiaoxiao, she didn¡¯t dare to go overboard in front of William.
Mu Xiaoxiao spread her hands and smiled. ¡°I never care for people whom I never think are important, so you can rx about this,¡± she said.
Mu Xiaoxiao was implying that Betty was a nobody in her eyes and thus wasn¡¯t even worth badmouthing about.
Betty¡¯s face soured immediately, but she didn¡¯t dare to do anything to Mu Xiaoxiao due to William¡¯s presence. She could only endure the insult and retort back with her words.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, what is it about about your family going bankrupt? Wasn¡¯t that why you returned to China, that backward country? Why did youe back to America? Did you suddenly realize that you could leech onto my cousin to make money off him?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned slightly. ¡°Since when has my family gone bankrupt? Where did you hear that from?¡±
She looked towards William curiously, because William also studied at the same school as them, albeit in an advanced year. However, he should still be aware of any school rumors, right?
William was amused, and he spread his arms in confusion. ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of that.¡±
The Mus going bankrupt?
That was the biggest joke of the century!
However, his dimwitted cousin didn¡¯t know the actual extent of influence of Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s family, so she uttered such a dumb statement.
Chapter 366 - You Treat Me the Best (3)
Chapter 366: You Treat Me the Best (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Upon seeing her expression, Betty knew that her rumors were false, and she became a little peeved.
Why wasn¡¯t her family really bankrupt?
It would be so good if this was true!
She hated seeing Mu Xiaoxiao happy all day long as though she was never troubled by anything. It was so detestable!
Mu Xiaoxiao stood up suddenly and stared at Betty. Pointing a finger at thetter¡¯s nose, Mu Xiaoxiao warned, ¡°I don¡¯t like your prejudiced words. What do you mean by calling China a backward country? Have you been to China? Do you understand our country¡¯s prowess? How narrow are your views! Betty, oh Betty, as a girl, you ought not to only care about shopping for bags all day long. You should broaden your perspectives, or you¡¯ll be a narrow-minded person!¡±
¡°You ¡ª ¡± Betty¡¯s face was alternating between green and purple. ¡°What right do you have to lecture me? Who do you think you are! You¡¯re only here and able toe to such a luxurious ce because of my cousin! If not, you¡¯ll never get to do so in your entire lifetime!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao tutted. She couldn¡¯t bother to argue with her any more.
Getting into a fight with someone with lower intelligence would cause her to stoop down to their level.
¡°Betty.¡± William was frowning, and his tone was sharp. ¡°Where are your manners? I feel that you need to return home to take more etiquette lessons. Your manners are unfit for such a formal event.¡±
Betty panicked upon hearing this. ¡°No, cousin! I was only¡ joking with her.¡±
It was rare for her to be able to attend such a luxurious event where she had the chance towork with the most elite people from all corners of America, and she didn¡¯t want to lose this chance.
Mu Xiaoxiao gave two cold chuckles. ¡°That joke wasn¡¯t funny at all.¡±
William looked at her in the eye before saying to Betty, ¡°Apologize.¡±
Betty paled. ¡°I¡ I didn¡¯t do it intentionally¡ I don¡¯t want to apologise! Cousin, who¡¯s your cousin here? Why are you protecting an outsider! Alright then, if you all don¡¯t like me, then I¡¯ll just leave, okay?¡±
If she continued to stay, she might really have to apologize to Mu Xiaoxiao, so she hurried away.
She was a little hasty in her retreat and identally knocked into an iing waiter holding dishes.
¡°Ah ¡ª¡± Betty shrieked. She broke down as she looked at her ruined dress and reprimanded the waiter. ¡°This is a new dress! What kind of rubbish dish is this; it¡¯s so disgusting! That¡¯s why I hate Chinese dishes ¡ª they not only taste bad, but they are ugly too.They¡¯re practically rubbish! Even a dog wouldn¡¯t eat them!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao mmed the table as she stood up. She walked towards Betty with a severe look on her face.
William watched Xiaoxiao in amusement and didn¡¯t stop her.
Betty was still preupied with her dress and hadn¡¯t noticed that Xiaoxiao had already walked over. Her femalepanion was frantically helping to wipe her down with some serviettes and agreed with her. ¡°Yeah, I know right. Chinese dishes are the world¡¯s most rubbish dishes. I don¡¯t get why so many people like them. The Chinese just love to eat rubbish.¡±
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face darkened. She stood behind Betty with her fists clenched.
¡°Scram! Don¡¯t disturb me!¡± Betty replied frustratedly, not even bothering to see who the person who tapped her on her shoulder was.
¡°I want to talk to you about something.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pulled her over violently.
Betty only realized who the person who tugged at her was upon looking at her, and she was instantly unhappy. ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao! What do you want? What do you want to say? You want to scold me? I¡¯m not afraid of you!¡±
Chapter 367 - You Treat Me the Best (4)
Chapter 367: You Treat Me the Best (4)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
She was absolutely unafraid of Mu Xiaoxiao if their fight boiled down to insults.
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled darkly. ¡°I don¡¯t want to scold you, but I want to hit you!¡±
After thest word was uttered through gritted teeth, Mu Xiaoxiao pulled on her cor forcefully and delivered a p to her face.
¡°PIA¡ª¡± The p rang out crisply. Mu Xiaoxiao had never heard a more beautiful sound than this. This was much more pleasing than any music she had heard before!
Betty¡¯s face gained an additional red palm print on it. Her eyes widened as she cupped her cheek in disbelief.
¡°Y-You¡ slut! How dare you hit me?!¡±
¡°I can hit you whenever I like!¡± Mu Xiaoxiaoughed tyrannically. She pushed her down onto the floor with a shove and looked down at her from her position. ¡°Let me tell you this. You can scold me all you want but NEVER insult my country! If not, I¡¯ll p you until you¡¯re disfigured! Understood?¡± she warned.
An unmorous Betty tried to stand, but the floor was slippery from the spilled food, so she fell down again.
Her femalepanion went over to help her up before she could stand.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao! I want to kill you!¡± Furious, she wanted to rush over but was stopped by herpanion.
Mu Xiaoxiao put her hands on her hips andughedcently. ¡°Come on and kill me then. I¡¯m standing right here. Let¡¯s see if you dare to do it.¡±
Betty was mad with anger and was paying no heed to her reputation.
Compared to her crazed appearance, Mu Xiaoxiao looked much calmer and more elegant, looking down on her as a queen might.
Betty sobbed as she looked towards William,ining, ¡°Cousin¡ you saw her hit me too! You should stand up for me! I¡¯ve never even been hit by my own family before, but she dared to! I can¡¯t let her get off scot-free!¡±
However, her tears were flowing freely, causing her vision to blur. She couldn¡¯t see the smile on William¡¯s face, which had no sympathy towards her. He was all smiles as though he was approving Xiaoxiao¡¯s p.
Upon hearing Betty¡¯s words, William spread his arms and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t see anything at all. I only saw a person who deserved to be hit being pped. It was quite interesting. Baby, continue the show.¡±
This address of ¡°baby¡± was evidently not to Betty but to Xiaoxiao.
Betty¡¯s face was green from anger. Her cousin¡¯s tant support of Xiaoxiao, an outsider, was not giving her face.
But what could she do?
Even her parents had to obey William. There was no one who could stand up for her.
Her femalepanion could read the situation and pulled her aside quickly, advising her not to continue the tantrum before she suffer even more.
These femalepanions were also on this cruise and could enter the world of elite luxury only because of Betty, and they thus didn¡¯t want to be chased off the ship.
Upon hearing that she could be chased off the ship, and seeing the indulgent nce William was giving Mu Xiaoxiao, Betty could only endure it no matter how aggrieved she was.
¡°Betty, your clothes are too dirty. We should go and change.¡±
¡°Yes, yes. After you change out of these clothes, let¡¯s go shopping to buy new clothes and bags! Okay?¡±
This cruise even had a store on it so that the rich wives and missys could shop till they dropped here.
Thus, supported by her femalepanions, Betty escaped from the restaurant, disgraced.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt awesome. She dusted her hands and returned to her seat.
Chapter 368 - You Treat Me the Best (5)
Chapter 368: You Treat Me the Best (5)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Baby, are you feeling better now that you¡¯ve vented your anger?¡± William said as he smiled.
Mu Xiaoxiao exhaled and beamed. ¡°I¡¯m feeling so awesome that I feel like I can eat an entire cow! I¡¯m super hungry right now. When are the dishes arriving?
Previously, she had been suppressing her emotions. Even though she had already let out a good cry, her chest still felt stifled.
Thus, she really didn¡¯t want to endure it any longer when faced with Betty.
Moreover, Betty even insulted her country. How could she live this down?
Now that she had let out her emotions and pped her, her entire being felt rxed, and her heart felt really light!
This was how life was supposed to be lived! She shouldn¡¯t do herself an injustice and should purge all her unhappiness out.
Mu Xiaoxiao was now full of regret!
Why did she run away after seeing Yin Shaojie and An Zhixin kiss on that particr night? She should have known better and rushed up to give them both a p each.
She could only me it on being too sorrowful. Her heart had been so hurt that she almost suffocated, and she couldn¡¯t slow her breathing down back then. How could she have given much thought to it?
On hindsight, she was regretting her actions now. Her reflexes had been too cowardly!
Even though An Zhixin hadn¡¯t known about her engagement with Yin Shaojie, she knew that both of them were staying together and should have known that they didn¡¯t have a normal rtionship, right?
No matter how it was put, An Zhixin was not a innocent party.
Of course, this was unless Yin Shaojie was a phnderer and had lied to An Zhixin and told her that there was nothing going on between the both of them and that Mu Xiaoxiao was the one who kept pestering him.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao knew that no matter how big of a flirt Yin Shaojie was, he would never do such a disgusting thing.
This was because he never needed to lie to girls like that.
Mu Xiaoxiao had seen how An Zhixin looked at Yin Shaojie before ¡ª full of infatuation and adoration. Yin Shaojie would only have to beckon to An Zhixin for her to attach herself to him, so he had no need to lie to her.
Also, with Yin Shaojie¡¯s arrogant personality, it would be too disdainful to resort to lying to girls.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that her head was clear and that she didn¡¯t feel as much heartache when she thought of Yin Shaojie now, perhaps due to her cathartic actions earlier.
She thought that her feelings might mellow out gradually.
They didn¡¯t say that time was a healer for nothing.
At this moment in time, Mu Xiaoxiao felt like her decision to return to America was the right one. If she had continued to stay in that sad ce, she didn¡¯t know when she would want to leave.
She probably would be sad for a longer period of time.
Even though she had Qiqing and a clown such as Song Shijun in China, it couldn¡¯t be denied that they had been separated for four years, and they thus weren¡¯t as understanding of and close to her as her American friends.
Also, she could be said to be a stranger in a strangend in China. Her family was in America, and thus, when she was sad, her first thought was to go home to where her family was.
When Mu Xiaoxiao said she was hungry, she coulde up here, and William even apanied her for a meal.
However, William couldn¡¯t apany her afterwards, for he was busy. He called a cruise manager over to attend to her personally.
Mu Xiaoxiao waved to him and said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about me. I can take care of myself. Go ahead and attend to your work.¡±
After all, William was the host of this cruise, and it was normal for him to be busy. She couldn¡¯t make him tag along with her all the time, could she?
Mu Xiaoxiao was an understanding person.
Chapter 369 - Ill Never Let You Go (1)
Chapter 369: I¡¯ll Never Let You Go (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
In addition, her mood was now back to normal, her earlier sadness having left her.
Thus, even if she was left alone, she would be okay.
It was also because of this that made William willing to leave her side.
¡°y whatever you want; you don¡¯t have to stand on ceremony. You can even go to the casino to amuse yourself, and whether you win or lose, it¡¯ll be on me.¡±
William instructed her chaperon regarding some matters before he left.
After eating, Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little tired and wanted her chaperon to take her back to her room. The chaperon, however, smiled and said, ¡°Miss Mu, might you be interested in a spa before heading to bed? In that way, after you wake up from sleeping, you¡¯ll feel beautiful and your mood will be even better.¡±
Upon hearing this suggestion, Mu Xiaoxiao thought it was a good idea and agreed.
Unexpectedly, the spa on the cruise was not a small-scale one, but rather, it seemed like all the best spas onnd had been transferred over here.
Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao enjoyed a wonderful spa session, choosing the whole-body package as she felt both physically and mentally exhausted.
She fell asleep as the masseuse was doing her work.
It was already six-thirty when she finally woke up.
She was alone in the spa booth. There was a nket covering her, but her beautiful shoulders still peeked through. She was naked below the towel.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little shy. Luckily, the masseuse was a woman, or she would have been very embarrassed.
She walked out of the booth after she got out of the bed and put on her clothes.
The female chaperon bowed to her as she smiled and said, ¡°Miss Mu, you¡¯re awake.¡±
Still groggy from having just woken up, Mu Xiaoxiao could only manage to nod her head dazedly and walked out.
She didn¡¯t know if William was free yet. Where should she go?
She walked down the hallway and looked out to the sea. There was a line separating the deep blue sea and the yellow-orangey sky, and it looked really pretty.
So it was already evening.
Mu Xiaoxiao was suddenly ovee by excitement. She walked towards the corridor where the balustrades were,and holding onto one of them, let the sea wind blow on her face. Also, being sunset now, the temperature was cooler.
However, the view here was beautiful as though it came straight out of a painting.
This kind of view could only be seen online, the work of photographers. This time though, she saw it for herself.
Naturally, the difference between viewing this from aputer screen and witnessing it in real life was huge.
Mu Xiaoxiao gave azy stretch. Her body felt wonderful from having had the spa earlier, and her cheeks felt smooth as a baby¡¯s skin when she put her hands to her face.
She couldn¡¯t help but think about Yin Shaojie. What was he doing currently?
Was he still trying to exhaust his options to track her down?
However, even if he had the patience right now, and could flip the city upside down to look for her, she couldn¡¯t be found by him.
This was because she was on a cruise.
No matter how hard he thought, he wouldn¡¯t have thought of this, right?
Thus, she couldn¡¯t help but admire William¡¯s ingenuity in bringing her here. In this way, Yin Shaojie wouldn¡¯t be able to find her.
She smiled at the sky. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m going to look for William for dinner!¡±
¡
Just then.
In the gradually darkening sky, against thest shade of orange, a helicopter flew over to the cruise ship andnded on thending pad.
A tall and handsome figure stepped out of the ne. He gazed at the view around him with the countenance of a king, the darkness doing nothing to hide his tyrannical aura.
¡
William was too busy. When Mu Xiaoxiao called him, he seemed to be in the middle of a meeting with some people, and he told her to eat first if she was hungry.

The chaperon beside Mu Xiaoxiao asked what she would like to eat and told her that the restaurant could prepare it immediately so that she didn¡¯t have to wait too long.
¡°Never mind. I¡¯d like to go back to my room first and eat in there,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said.
After all, it was a little weird to eat alone in a restaurant. It felt a little lonely.
Even though she really wanted to dine with William again, her stomach protested in hunger when she thought about eating, so it couldn¡¯t be helped.
William was the host of this event, and he probably had to receive a lot more guests. She wasn¡¯t sure how long he would still need to finish them all, and she didn¡¯t want to starve to death.
The chaperon led her to her room.
Because this cruise was specially catered for the rich and elite, the rooms were super deluxe suites that were gigantic. They even had their own separate living rooms and study rooms.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little shocked. She wouldn¡¯t have known how luxurious cruises were if she hadn¡¯te out here. This room was simplyparable to Dubai¡¯s presidential suites in its seven star hotels!
She should really apany her dad out to see the world more often. If not, her perspective would be narrow.
She whispered, ¡°Tsk, tsk. If this room had a pool, then it¡¯d be exactly like one of those presidential suites in Dubai¡¯s hotels then.¡±
Even though she said it softly, the chaperon, being a person who was ustomed to serving the needs of others, had sharp ears and picked up on it. She smiled at her as she said, ¡°There is actually a pool; it¡¯s right here.¡±
The chaperon walked over to the living room as she said this and pushed open a sliding door, revealing a gigantic indoor swimming pool.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She had only been kidding!
But this suite actually had a pool!
Did they have to be so extra!
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but to shake her head in wonderment. This was too extravagant.
Curious, she asked, ¡°Does every room have a pool?¡±
The chaperon smiled as she exined, ¡°No. There are only three of such suites on this ship. They¡¯re either used by Young Master William and his family, or used for entertaining the most distinguished guests.
For example, presidents, queens of other countries, or chiefs from Dubai and the like.
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. ¡°So this is William¡¯s room? And he let me have it?¡±
The chaperon replied, ¡°We don¡¯t know about this. Young Master William may have used one of the other two rooms.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao felt touched.
William was such a good friend, and he even let her have his room.
The chaperon asked, ¡°Miss Mu, didn¡¯t you say that you were hungry? Do you want to order your food now? The restaurant can send it to you directly.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll order my food now.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± The chaperon walked into the living room and picked up the iPad on the coffee table. After pressing on the screen a few times, she passed the iPad to Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°Miss Mu, this is the menu from the Chinese restaurant. You can browse what you like, check it, and then confirm it. The iPad is registered to each room, and the restaurant will deliver the food here directly.
Mu Xiaoxiao was astonished. ¡°That¡¯s really convenient.¡±
She received the iPad, took a look at it, and saw that there were many ssic Chinese dishes. Also, she felt that the taste of the meal that she had eaten in the afternoon had been really authentic and guessed that they had hired a Chinese chef to prepare these dishes.
Seeing her hesitation, the chaperon said with a thoughtful smile, ¡°If Miss Mu feels it¡¯s too troublesome to order your own food, I can provide assistance.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s alright. I¡¯m eating alone anyway; it doesn¡¯t really matter what I choose.¡±
It wasn¡¯t good to waste food, so she thought for a while before only ordering two dishes.
Chapter 371 - Ill Never Let You Go (3)

The chaperon looked at what she ordered and hesitated over whether she should say something. However, she looked at her expression and chose to keep quiet in the end.
Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to rest and sent the chaperon out.
The chaperon nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯ll be at the door then. If Miss Mu has any requests, you can call upon me at any moment.¡±
¡°The door? It¡¯s not necessary. You should go and rest too; I¡¯ll look for you if I need you.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. She didn¡¯t have to serve her so thoroughly.
The chaperon smiled gently. She seemed to understand what Mu Xiaoxiao was thinking and said, ¡°It¡¯s not troublesome. It¡¯s a part of my job.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao waved her away. ¡°There¡¯s really no need. I¡¯m not used to being waited on by other people, and I don¡¯t have any requests. You should go and rest; I¡¯ll be fine on my own.¡±
The chaperon could only listen to her wishes and left.
Mu Xiaoxiaoy on the sofa and used the iPad to watch variety shows. The cruise even had WiFi, which made it veryfortable.
The dishes arrived in less than 20 minutes.
After Mu Xiaoxiao finished her food, she looked out of the window at the night sky. It was already dark outside. Since they were at sea, she should be able to see some stars if she went out on the deck, right?
She actually knew how to entertain herself and didn¡¯t need the constantpany of people.
She stood up and was about to leave the room when she heard the doorbell ring.
Who was it?
Mu Xiaoxiao walked over and looked through the peephole before opening the door. There was a male service assistant outside, and in his hands was a box.
¡°Miss Mu, this is your attire for the ceremony.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao received it awkwardly. Just as she wanted to ask what the attire was for, the man had already left.
Oh yeah, she suddenly recalled that William had told her that there was going to be an auction that night, and he had promised to bring her out to y.
So was this the attire she was supposed to wear to the auction?
Mu Xiaoxiao carried the box into the room. When she opened it, there was a card resting on the clothes.
She opened the card. There was a line of words on it stating that there was going to be a masked ball by the outdoor pool on the top deck of the cruise shop.
A masked ball?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s interest was piqued. She found an exquisite mask inside the box. It seemed to sparkle brightly with jewels, and it even had a feather on it.
She held up the clothes from the box and discovered that it was a seductively charming dress. It was in an exquisitely gorgeous and sexy shade of rose red, and it had a low neckline.
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. She didn¡¯t wear clothes of this color usually. Why did William sent her such a piece?
Did he do it on purpose?
However¡ Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the low V-neckline disgustedly and tugged at it. With such a low V-neckline, she wondered how much chest she would be showing.
No way, she wasn¡¯t going to wear this!
Even though she was well-endowed, she wasn¡¯t like the girls in America who liked to show off their assets.
Such a dress was, in America, quite ubiquitous. It was reallymon to see American girls dress like this on the streets.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao was a conservative girl, and to show off like that was too much for her.
She looked down at the dress she was wearing and realized that it did look like an appropriate piece to wear.
Okay, she wasn¡¯t going to change; she was going to wear this to the ball!
¡
Mu Xiaoxiao arrived punctually at 8 o¡¯clock by the poolside on the top deck of the cruise. The lighting was very romantic and suggestive, and she could hear theughter of both boys and girls.
It looked like this ball was specially organized for the younger generation.
Mu Xiaoxiao rearranged the mask on her face. When she was certain that she wouldn¡¯t be recognized, she entered the venue.

Betty was by the poolside, surrounded by many girls and guys, enjoying the feeling of being pleased and ttered.
One of her female friends squeezed over to her. ¡°That Mu Xiaoxiao is here. However, she¡¯s not wearing the dress you picked out,¡± she whispered by her ear.
Betty looked over at where she was pointing.
It was indeed Mu Xiaoxiao.
Even though she was wearing a mask, she recognized the dress she was wearing earlier today.
If Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t wear the dress she had sent, or even changed into another one, she might not have been able to recognize her, for everyone here was wearing masks that covered half their faces. Even if they were acquainted, they may not recognize each other.
Another femalepanion asked, ¡°Betty, what do we do now? Do we still go ahead with the n?¡±
Betty red at Mu Xiaoxiao and harrumphed. ¡°Of course we¡¯re going on with the n! I will get even for making me lose face today!¡±
¡°But she isn¡¯t wearing the clothes that we¡¯ve prepared¡¡±
Betty narrowed her eyes. ¡°The dress she¡¯s wearing will do too. If she falls into the water, the fabric would be see-through as well.
¡°Got it. I¡¯ll call for the preparations to be made.¡±
Actually, their n was simple. They just wanted Mu Xiaoxiao to look bad in front of the crowd by pushing her into the pool and exposing her body.
The fabric of the dress that they had prepared would shrink if it touched water.
Maybe Mu Xiaoxiao was too vignt or had found out about their n, but she didn¡¯t wear the dress in the end.
However, what they hadn¡¯t known was that Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know how to swim. Thus, she would subconsciously avoid the pool and wouldn¡¯t go near, staying far away from it.
The venue was extremely big. There were people hugging and dancing, and there were others drinking merrily.
Mu Xiaoxiao liked this about America. Everyone was very open, which made parties exciting and the atmosphere really hyped.
She was unconsciously influenced by this mood, and her mouth quirked up involuntarily.
Just then, a person came up to her and gestured if she wanted to dance.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and rejected him.
The man retreated embarrassedly.
From afar, Betty and her clique were seething with hatred. Why wasn¡¯t she taking the bait?
¡°What now? How are we supposed to lure her to the poolside?¡±
An idea came to Betty. ¡°How about this. Go find a few boys to mess about, get them to move towards her gradually, and lift her up and throw her into the pool directly!¡±
If she couldn¡¯t be baited, they would use force!
¡°I¡ don¡¯t think that a good idea¡¡±
¡°How is it not a good idea! Don¡¯t we do this usually? Hurry up and do it!¡±
However, they only did this to people they were close to, and no one usually did this to people they weren¡¯t familiar with.
However, the female friends had no choice but to listen to her orders.
Just then, a pretty female host with a beautiful figure talked into the mike.
¡°Since we have a masked ball tonight, so¡ everyone guess it! There¡¯s one thing that we can¡¯t miss! Is everyone ready?¡±
Upon hearing this, Betty¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°They¡¯re going to turn off the lights; let¡¯s make use of this chance to pull her directly to the poolside and push her into the water!¡±
Betty was pleased at her n and decided to execute it herself!
¡°Both of you,e with me!¡±
Just then, the female host shouted in an excited voice, ¡°Is everyone ready?¡±
¡°Ready!¡±
¡°Turn off the lights!¡±
At thismand, all the lights by the pool were switched off.

Because the pool was an outdoor one, the ce wasn¡¯tpletely dark. However, because everyone needed time to adjust their eyes to the darkness, they all couldn¡¯t see anything at first.
Betty was very familiar with this ce, and groped around the ce Mu Xiaoxiao had been standing earlier.
However, the space was empty!
¡°Where is she? Where has she gone? Hurry up and find her!¡±
Under the push of the crowd, Betty waspletely oblivious to the fact that she had been pushed to the poolside by the crowd, and she was suddenly kicked by someone into the pool.
¡°Ah ¡ª ¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was very aware of where the pool was. Once she heard the host¡¯s words, she already knew what would happen when the lights were turned off, for she had experienced that before and learned her lesson, retreating to the far corners.
Upon hearing the sound of someone falling into the water and the piercing shriek of a girl, she couldn¡¯t help but tough and congratte herself on her wisdom.
With such an opening, someone else followed suit and pushed another person into the water, and everyone whooped.
Some people took the opportunity to embrace the person they liked for some kissing action.
Mu Xiaoxiao vaguely noticed a figure trying to grab onto her, and she tried to dodge it.
Suddenly, an arm grabbed ahold of her and pulled her along.
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. The wide palm felt like a man¡¯s, and she shouted hurriedly, ¡°I don¡¯t know you! What are you trying to do? Let go of me!¡±
However, the other party was quiet, continuing to pull her along.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought, Could it be William? Was he trying to scare her?
She studied the height of the figure. It looked like it could be William.
Sheughed. ¡°William, stop fooling around! I know it¡¯s you.¡±
Once they were away from the crowd and alone, the dark figure suddenly stopped and faced her.
¡°William¡¡±
Before she could call out, the person in front of her grabbed her face suddenly, took off her mask, lowered his head, and kissed her lips.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened in shock. She quickly recovered and pushed the person away.
He wasn¡¯t William!
William would never do such a thing to her!
Who was this person? Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mind was frantic at the thought of being kissed by a strange man, and she tried to push him away forcefully.
Mu Xiaoxiao had never imagined that she would meet lecherous men on board a cruise ship catered for the elite.
This shouldn¡¯t be happening!
The people who were invited here were all people of some importance. Even if they brought their friends, they wouldn¡¯t behave in such a way. If anyone dared to cause trouble up here, they would never be able to get away with it and would have their reputations destroyed.
Mu Xiaoxiao was frightened out of her wits, and her hands were trembling. Recovering her wits, she bit down on the other party¡¯s lips.
The man then stopped.
With an effort, she calmed herself down and roared sharply, ¡°Who are you? I¡¯m warning you ¡ª let go of me, or you¡¯ll suffer a horrible death!¡±
¡°I¡¯ll never let go.¡± A maic voice rang out in the darkness, his tone determined.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned, and her mind nked out. She wondered if she had heard incorrectly.
It was impossible!
How could he be on the cruise ship!
¡°I¡¯ll never let go of you,¡± the other party said again, his voice sounding even more serious than before.
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to have received some sort of confirmation. Biting her lip, she swung out her hand.
p!
She hit the other party¡¯s face.
The dark figure didn¡¯t dodge it but seemed to receive it willingly.
¡°You jerk! Go away! I don¡¯t want to see you!¡± she shouted at him.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes were tearing up, and she didn¡¯t know whether it was from being frightened or from recognizing him.

Yin Shaojie embraced her tightly in his arms.
He put his nose to the nape of her neck and took a deep breath, inhaling her nostalgic scent. ¡°Xiaoxiao, I miss you so much¡¡± he said in her ear in a low voice.
However, he had never realized how the short time they had spent apart had turned his longing into desire.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s nose twinged, and her eyes teared up. ¡°Why did you scare me? Why are you so bad? You jerk¡¡± she choked out, sounding aggrieved.
Why did you have to break my heart?
Why did youe chasing after me to coax me after you broke my heart?
Yin Shaojie cupped her little face. He began to kiss her gently, starting from her eyelids, then her tears, her nose, working his way down to her lips. He pecked at them gently for a little while before taking her whole mouth in at once.
Mu Xiaoxiao was extremely upset. Why was he kissing her right now? He was a lecher, a beast!
Thinking about how those lips of his had touched An Zhixin¡¯s, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart turned cold. She pursed her lips tightly, forbidding him from prating it.
She even used her hands and feet to attack him so that he would release her.
Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t afraid of being hit, but he was afraid that she would hurt herself, so he stopped.
However, his dark, inky eyes still looked at her with desire.
Even in this darkness, he seemed to be able to see everything about her. His gaze was fixated on her figure and was full of longing.
Afraid that he would kiss her forcefully again, Mu Xiaoxiao covered her lips with her hands.
She was unable to escape, for she was trapped between his arms and the handrail behind her back.
She could only turn her head away and avoid his gaze.
Perhaps she wouldn¡¯t be shaken and wouldn¡¯t cave in to him.
¡°Look at me; let¡¯s have a talk,¡± Yin Shaojie said, his usually deep voice even more resonant.
Mu Xiaoxiao refused to reply, treating him as though he was air.
Yin Shaojie knew that she was still angry, but at least there was no way for her to escape now.
He cut to the chase and said, ¡°Did you see me and An Zhixin at the carpark?¡±
Even though he was ny percent sure that she had, he still needed to confirm this. If he exined to her without confirmation, his exnation might backfire.
Mu Xiaoxiao was still silent, but it counted as silent agreement.
Even though he was already prepared for this reaction of hers, it was still a little hard for Yin Shaojie to bear.
He frowned and abandoned all his cool!
He reached out and grabbed her chin, forcing her to look at him.
¡°There was nothing going on between me and An Zhixin! Whatever you saw was a misunderstanding! Do you get it?¡± He stared into her eyes as he practically growled his words out.
Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t very good at exining things, for no such term existed in his dictionary.
Thus, when he was upset, he was grumpier than usual.
How should he exin this so as to make her believe him?
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiao replied, ¡°Oh.¡±
Her voice sounded cold as though she was talking to a stranger. She had no expression or emotion on her face.
¡°I got it. Can you let go of me now?¡± she said.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s pupils shrank sharply as his heart seemed to feel like it had been ripped out.
Did she still not believe him?
Or, were things like he had feared, and even though she believed that there was nothing going on between him and An Zhixin, she still decided to not love him anymore?
No! He couldn¡¯t allow it!
The hand Yin Shaojie was using to grab her chin tightened suddenly. He stared into her eyes resolutely, and he roared out as though he was a frightened lion, ¡°Xiaoxiao, look at me! Look at me! Look into my eyes, you hear!¡±
Chapter 375 - Whats Up With His Horniness (2)
Chapter 375: What¡¯s Up With His Horniness (2)

Even when Mu Xiaoxiao was forced to face him, she turned her eyes away from him as she just didn¡¯t want to meet his eyes.
Yin Shaojie had never felt so much nervousness before. Ever since he was young, he could get whatever he desired, and there was nothing that didn¡¯te smoothly to him. There was nothing like this moment, where he was almost wanting to plead for her to believe him and to not leave him.
¡°Are you still unwilling to look at me? Do you intend to never look at me again? Do you intend to forget me and never return to China?¡±
His voice gradually became cold as if chilliness was emanating from his entire being.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s lips moved as she finally started speaking, her voice slightly hoarse as she said,¡± Yin Shaojie¡ For the past two days, I¡¯ve been thinking about whether I truly know you.¡±
Was it because of your assertive kiss that created a delusion in me that made me think that I liked you?
Liking someone should not be such a superficial matter.
But it should only happen after one got to understand another deeply.
That was how she used to think. She would yearn for when she fell in love and fantasize about understanding and amodating each other with the person she loved, unlike other people who would get into misunderstandings, quarrels, and even breakups.
But she now realized that she was wrong. It turned out that you can¡¯t always be getting your way in love. Love was too indiscernible a thing that you may not even be able to tell whether it was real or not.
It was just like how she was now, when she could no longer tell whether Yin Shaojie truly liked her anymore.
If he liked her, then shouldn¡¯t he be unwilling to have her suffer?
But the one who had caused her the greatest hurt was him!
And where was he when she was at her worst? He was hanging around with another girl!
If he really liked her, then he shouldn¡¯t have gotten close to another girl.
Just having doubts about whether Yin Shaojie really liked her pained her inside as if there was someone using a knife, cruelly cutting at her heart.
Suddenly she had the urge to ask him if he really liked her or if just his flirtatiousness had led to this?
But she was afraid that the answer would break her heart.
Having heard her, Yin Shaojie suddenly quietened down, his dark eyes fixated on her face.
He said in a self-deprecating manner with a deep, low voice, ¡°Indeed, you don¡¯t understand me, Xiaoxiao.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao jolted, and she felt cold.
See, he said it himself that I don¡¯t understand him.
So whatever that she had seen was not the real him, right?
Then, what kind of person was the real him?
All that talk about finding his one true love must have been just a lie. He¡¯s simply unfaithful. Men¡ they are all flirts.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao could not understand that even if he wanted to y around, given their long-time rtionship from since they were young, he shouldn¡¯t have yed her!
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiao was smiling pathetically, and she started to feel cold inside.
So what did their long-time rtionship mean to him?
Was she the only one who cherished their rtionship? Was she the only one who cherished the friend who grew up with her?
She had treated him like family. Though she would throw tantrums at him asionally, wasn¡¯t that the way it should be? It was only toward family that she could not help herself but throw a fit because she could always rely on her family to amodate her and not get angry.
So was she wrong? Was she too idealistic?
Chapter 376 - Whats Up With His Horniness (3)
Chapter 376: What¡¯s Up With His Horniness (3)

Perhaps it was because she had always been pampered by her father and the people around her that she had still lived in the idealism of fairy tales. She thought that everything could be beautiful. As long as she gave to others with her whole heart, others would also reciprocate with the same wholeheartedness.
Once the negative feelings invaded the mind, people would subconsciously start to think lower of themselves.
The fingers that were pinching her chin started to caress it before raising her lips, and Yin Shaojie suddenly lowered his head to kiss her.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s pupils dted.
But just as he was about to touch her lips, Yin Shaojie stopped.
He said in a low voice, ¡°You don¡¯t know that I want to do more than just kiss you like this. You don¡¯t know about how I feel about you every time I take a cold shower. You don¡¯t know that every time I see some guy hugging you, I get so mad I could kill him! And you definitely don¡¯t know that I can¡¯t breathe at every thought of you leaving me¡ Xiaoxiao, you don¡¯t understand me. It¡¯s true that you don¡¯t understand me. You don¡¯t understand me, not in the least! If you really understood me, you would not have abandoned me after seeing a little scene¡¡±
Hearing his words, Mu Xiaoxiao jolted inside, her heart tense. But there was also some¡ indescribable blissful feeling.
Is he telling the truth¡
He said that he can¡¯t breathe if I were to leave him.
As Mu Xiaoxiao thought about how she witnessed him with An Zhixin, it nearly made her feel like suffocating.
So they felt the same for each other, right?
Her lower lips ttened and trembled, and she said indignantly, ¡°What do you mean that I abandoned you¡ It was clearly you! It was clearly you¡ who had hurt me¡ yet you still have the nerve to me me¡¡±
As she spoke, her tears fell.
He had no idea just how miserable she had been.
How could he be so mean to me her instead!
As she cried, she clenched her fists and pounded on his chest.
¡°You bastard! You bastard!¡±
He hadpletely no idea just how she had lived in the past two days.
She had no idea what it meant to be zombie before, but now she knew.
For him, she had lost her spirit. For him, she had been too anxious to eat her meals. For him, she could not bring herself to be motivated in anything she did as if she had forgotten how to be happy.
Their lips were already very close. As she scolded and beat him in agitation, their lips brushed each other past again and again.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression darkened as he grew aroused by her.
Suddenly, he grabbed hold of her wrist, and he said in a voice as soft as water, ¡°Yes. It¡¯s my fault. I¡¯m the meanest. So you can¡¯t let me go. You have to stay by my side for the rest of you life to allow me to atone for my mistakes, alright?¡±
¡°No,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao huffed.
¡°What do you want then?¡± Yin Shaojie stared at her little face. From the tone of her voice, he could tell that she had softened her heart and that she at least believed that what had happened between An Zhixin and him was only a misunderstanding.
Yin Shaojie could finally release the burden weighing in his heart.
Now, all he needed to do was to coax her to return.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She had not thought of how to deal with him, but she was not intending to just forgive him so easily.
He was after all the one who had caused her so much agony and to shed so many tears that her eyes became swollen.

Did he think that he could get her to go back with him obediently just by saying those few words?
He wished!
Holding her cheeks, Yin Shaojie lowered to close in on her face as if he was going to kiss her, staring into her eyes with a gaze filled with gentleness.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt that his breath on her face was a bit too hot, so she shrunk back embarrassedly.
Why couldn¡¯t this jerk just talk normally?
He had to get handsy with her.
Coming so close in such a suggestive manner. Was he trying to kiss her again?
The thought of that made her red from ear to ear, and her heart started to race.
Though she didn¡¯t like to admit it¡ she seemed to be looking forward to it.
Goodness gracious!
When did she be so horny?
Gazing deeply at her, Yin Shaojie¡¯s manly breath, which encircled her, was starting to feel odd. The thick pheromones in his breath seemed to be enticing her.
Finally, he could not help but slowly close in and kiss her on her cheek.
This time, it was not toward her lips but toward her ear.
When he started to suck her earlobe, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly jolted as if a strong electrical current passed through her, her heart instantly turning numb.
She was going to say something to stop him, but she made an embarrassing soft utterance instead.
In an instant, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face flushed red.
How could she make such a sound!
Yin Shaojie suddenly stuck close to her, his big body tightly hugging her as his palms supported her back, pressing her onto himself.
Mu Xiaoxiao was still puzzled as to why she felt that his body was so hot as if there was fireball radiating heat.
He couldn¡¯t have¡ taken the wrong medicine, right?
Mu Xiaoxiao had the feeling that he was horny.
They were clearly just having a talk about atoning for the things that he had done. How did it suddenly turn into such a suggestive atmosphere?
She shifted her feet, attempting to move away.
But Yin Shaojie said in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused.
Yin Shaojie took a deep breath. As if he could hardly tolerate it, he held her tightly and said beside her ear, ¡°Just let me hold you like this. Don¡¯t move. Don¡¯t do anything.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao found him odd. She reached out her hand to touch his forehead to check if he had gotten a fever or if he had perhaps taken the wrong medicine.
But just at this moment, his thighs moved and his lower body pressed closely against her.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s body suddenly froze.
It was very clear to her this time around that there was something hard in the area where his lower body was pressing against her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was also not that naive as she immediately realized what it was that was pressing against her!
Her little face flushed red instantly.
T-this guy is really horny!
¡°Yin Shaojie! You¡¯re really¡¡±
Just as she was going to scold him, he interrupted her, saying, ¡°Hush, be quiet. Listen carefully.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was confused. What was there to listen to?
There was only the sound of the sea breeze and sshing water. There wasn¡¯t any other sounds.
However, as he called to her attention, she really started to notice a sounding from the side.
Then, she heard¡
¡°Yeah¡ softer¡ Darling, you¡¯re great¡¡±
Pop! Pop! Pop! There was even the sound of flesh pping together!
Mu Xiaoxiao was stupefied as she finally understood what was happening.
No wonder Yin Shaojie suddenly became horny. There was someone next door in the middle of¡

Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face grew hot. She could only hear the lewd sounds getting louder. From the woman¡¯s gasping and the man¡¯s deep grunting, it was as if she could picture the whole scene in her mind.
¡°Let¡¯s get out of here!¡± she said to him softly as she nudged him.
But Yin Shaojie smiled devilishly and said, ¡°It¡¯s quite interesting, isn¡¯t it? Let¡¯s eavesdrop for a while more.¡±
¡°Eavesdrop my foot! You pervert! Eavesdrop if you want, but I¡¯m leaving. Go away, bastard!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was so embarrassed she felt like finding a hole to jump into.
These adults are really¡ They have sex everywhere!
Though the cruise is big, there are still other people on board. How could they be so shameless?
Mu Xiaoxiao felt like her world was turning upside down.
She couldn¡¯t take it anymore. If she continued to listen to it, she would lose her morals.
But Yin Shaojie did not want to let her go. After the torment he had gone through, he only wanted to stick close to her, doing nothing but feel her in his embrace.
¡°It¡¯s okay; they don¡¯t know that we are here. There¡¯s no need to be scared.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him. ¡°You¡¯re not going to move, are you? Okay, then I¡¯m not going to forgive you then.¡±
Yin Shaojie suddenly smiled and said, ¡°So that means that you have already forgiven me, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned as she realized that he had tricked her.
Why is this person so ck-bellied!
¡°Get lost!¡± she said in a huff, stepping on his feet suddenly.
Yin Shaojie frowned, and he finally released her. ¡°You¡¯re really¡ ruthless!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said with a red face as she quickly got out of there.
Containing his usual frivolous smile, Yin Shaojie followed behind her.
As they walked to the poolside, the others were still ying wildly. Most of them had already taken off their masks as they gathered in the pool to y.
¡°Xiaoxiao!¡± Suddenly someone shouted her name.
Mu Xiaoxiao heard the sound and turned to look. Then, her arm was grabbed as someone tried to pull her.
Darting a nce, Yin Shaojie was quick to react and grabbed her other hand.
He stared coldly at William opposite of him and said sternly, ¡°Let go of your hand!¡±
William was not afraid of him, and he smirked and said, ¡°You should be the one to let go of your hand. Why don¡¯t you ask Xiaoxiao. Does she want you to let go of your hand, or does she want me to let go of my hand? Xiaoxiao, tell us.¡±
Thest sentence was directed at Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head and met William¡¯s eyes, and she could see the subtle amusement in them.
After all, William had been so nice to her¡
Though she felt sorry to do this to Yin Shaojie, Mu Xiaoxiao turned back to say to him, ¡°Yin Shaojie, let go of your hand.¡±
His brows knitted tightly. Displeasure was written all over his face as Yin Shaojie reluctantly released her hand.
Seeing how she was so obedient to others riled him up inside, especially when it was this man standing before him who could very well be Xiaoxiao¡¯s ex-boyfriend.
Just that rtionship alone was enough to leave Yin Shaojie feeling extremely jealous.
William pulled Xiaoxiao to his side, deliberately putting his arms across her shoulders, and he said to her, ¡°Why are you here? You should have informed me. Have you eaten?¡±
¡°I¡¯ve already eaten. Oh yeah. Didn¡¯t you send someone to give me the dress that came with a card so that I could attend this party?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked though she had some doubts that he was the one to send it to her.

William furrowed his brows and said, ¡°No, I didn¡¯t send you any dress. I was intending to apany you to pick a dress after Ie back from the meeting. Who sent it to you?¡±
As he said that, his gaze turned to Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie spread open his hands and said, ¡°It¡¯s not me. I don¡¯t know which room she stays in.¡±
It had also taken him a lot of effort to find her.
If he had known earlier which room she was staying in, he would have trapped her in the room. And since there was a bed in the room, he could¡
It was a nice thought. Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes carried deep amusement as if he hade up with some bright idea.
Being a guy as well, William saw the smile on his face and thought he must be up to no good.
But he believed in what Yin Shaojie said.
William spent a moment in thought, and he stared at Betty at the side. From the sharp re of his, Betty was suddenly nervous, and the answer became written all over her face.
William then realized that she was the one who did it.
Actually, it was not hard to guess. The only one who had some disagreement with Xiaoxiao on the cruise was Betty.
Luckily, nothing bad happened.
¡°We¡¯ll deal with this matterter. Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll go pick your dress. The auction is about to start soon, ¡± William said, holding Mu Xiaoxiao close as they walked away as if Yin Shaojie was not there.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned back to nce at Yin Shaojie, and she just happened to meet with his look of grievance. She instantly felt remorseful.
Though Yin Shaojie was unwilling to see some other guy hugging her, he had no choice but to hold himself back.
Anyways¡
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes darkened. Xiaoxiao is mine. No one can take her away from me!
¡
William took Mu Xiaoxiao to the stores on the cruise to help her pick her dress.
Yin Shaojie naturally followed behind them like a shadow.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt that the situation was quite awkward, especially how Yin Shaojie looked like a dog that she had abandoned with a look on his face saying ¡®Why don¡¯t you want me anymore?¡¯
Thus, she could not be bothered to be selective anymore. She casually picked one to try and said that she was done.
William said to the sales staff, ¡°We¡¯re taking this one. Have the one she tried packaged and send it to room XX.¡±
¡°Understood.¡± The sales staff nodded deferentially.
William was just about to pass him his card when she said, ¡°That young master already paid for it.¡±
Looking in the direction that she pointed her finger in, Yin Shaojie was seen leaning stylishly at one side, smiling at him.
William harrumphed.
Mu Xiaoxiao had also heard the sales staff, and she pulled William and said, ¡°Forget it. If he likes to pay, let him pay it. Come on, let¡¯s go. Didn¡¯t you say that the auction was about to start?¡±
William held her little hand,pletely ignoring Yin Shaojie¡¯s presence as they left the stores.
¡°Luckily, the auction is not open to everyone. Only those with the invitation letter can enter.¡±
And he was the owner, so he could take anyone with him as he pleased.
However, William was unsure of how Yin Shaojie knew that they were on the cruise and how he managed to get on board.
He remembered what Mu Xiaoxiao said about him. She said that he was his childhood friend and that their families were close. That meant that Yin Shaojie should not be a man of ordinary status.
As they reached the auctioning venue, there were people guarding the doors. Only upon showing an invitation letter could anyone go in.
William simply entered with Mu Xiaoxiao.
Initially, he thought that he could get rid of the pesky Yin Shaojie.
But Yin Shaojie had only stood outside for about a minute to make a call before he sessfully entered the auctioning venue in a few minutes.

William brought Mu Xiaoxiao to sit in the middle. He gave an intuitive re at the door and saw Yin Shaojie walking in unexpectedly.
William frowned. He was surprised.
This guy really had skill!
Yin Shaojie had originally wanted to sit beside them, but there were no more seats left. He could only find an empty spot where Mu Xiaoxiao could see him from her angle.
The auction had long begun, and it was now the second round.
This was Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s first time at an auction, so the experience was quite novel. After watching for a few rounds, she realize that all manners of things were sold at auctions. The ordinary items consisted of antique jewellery and the like, but there was a person who even auctioned a kiss from themselves.
The person selling her kiss was a supermodel who was very famous in America. She was apanying a young master of a corporation today, and it confirmed what the entertainment tabloids had been saying: They were dating.
However, what puzzled Mu Xiaoxiao was why that rich young master would allow his girlfriend to auction her kiss if they were lovers.
¡°The starting price is two hundred thousand American dors!¡± the auction host shouted from the stage.
Two hundred thousand American dors was actually peanuts to the people who were attending the auction. It wasn¡¯t even enough as spending money.
Thus, the price soared very quickly and reached two hundred thousand in no time.
In the end, there were only two or three people fighting over the kiss.
Mu Xiaoxiao saw that the person who was engaged in a bidding war with the rich young master was a CEO of somepany.
Could it be a love triangle?
She couldn¡¯t help but imagine dramatic scenarios, but in the end, the CEO won.
The CEO went onto the stage and kissed the model right there and then.
Mu Xiaoxiao was very stunned. How could the man be so vulgar?
Actually, what she didn¡¯t know was that this was only one segment of the auction and that it was used to liven up the atmosphere. After all, this was not a serious auction and was only a way for the rich to socialize.
The next round was made up of goods.
The host indicated for the helpers to bring the items up on stage. A tall western beauty wearing a dress with a slit cat walked out.
At first, Mu Xiaoxiao was already beginning to feel bored, and she even yawned.
However, upon seeing the woman carry out a brocade box with a diamond ne on top of it, her eyes lit up instantly.
That ne was made in the shape of a strawberry!
In the middle of the ne was a big diamond that sparkled a faint pink. It looked magical and pretty!
William saw the expression on her face and smiled. ¡°Like what you see?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him curiously. ¡°Did you already know that this was going to be at the auction?¡±
She had already been suspicious earlier. So the reason for his sudden desire to bring her to an auction was because of this.
William said, ¡°This ne is a new creation from a designer. However, he doesn¡¯t want to sell it publicly, so he decided to auction it off privately in the hopes of finding a suitable owner.
¡°Also, did you see that diamond in the middle? It¡¯s one of its kind in the entire world. The designer also bought it at a jewel auction. However, just the diamond fetched a American million dors at the auction.¡±
A million American dors!
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t really have any concept of money and knew that her family was quite rich, she would only purchase things that were at most in the ten thousand range, unlike these people, who could spend hundreds of thousands of dors like water.

Chapter 381: Untitled
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
After the host finished introducing the history of the ne, he said, ¡°The starting price is two million dors. The auction starts now.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was gobsmacked again. A one million dor diamond that underwent some modification could end up with a two million price tag? Its price went up by double just by an exchange of ownership!
Also, two million was was the base price, and it was still unknown how high the price would eventually get up to.
Even though she quite liked the ne, she felt the pain of spending so much money, and the money was not even hers!
Moreover, Mu Xiaoxiao would feel very guilty if she spent someone else¡¯s money like that.
It was one thing for William to gift her clothes, for it could be counted as a gift between friends. She had also gifted some expensive and branded goods to him before, so she didn¡¯t feel like William¡¯s gift was inappropriate. However, if he were to gift her the ne, she wouldn¡¯t be able to ept it.
Seeing that William was going to raise his hand to bid for the ne, Mu Xiaoxiao quickly pulled his hand down. ¡°Don¡¯t raise your hand! It¡¯s too expensive; I don¡¯t want it.¡±
William smiled and said flippantly, ¡°It¡¯s nothing; it¡¯s only a few million, so it¡¯s not that expensive.¡±
She hadn¡¯t realized that this cruise ship cost a few tens of billions, and thus, a few million dors was nothing to him.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him as she said, ¡°You¡¯re such a spendthrift! How did I not know that you were a spendthrift before?¡±
Only a few¡ million? How was this inexpensive!
Also, this was in American dors!
Just then, a few people bid on the ne. Most of those who did were rich young missys. To these girls, this ne was mesmerizing and more attractive than those antique ones!
These rich girls were spending their family¡¯s money and didn¡¯t feel the pain of spending money at all. They were enthusiastically bidding for it.
Four million, five million¡
The price rose higher and higher.
William leaned forward and said into her ear, ¡°Do you really not want it? If you don¡¯t bid, it might be bought by someone else.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the ne with longing. It looked really pretty, and she liked it a lot.
However, the price was really too much!
¡°It¡¯s okay. It¡¯s only an essory, and I wouldn¡¯t dare to wear it if I did get it.¡±
She was afraid that she would be robbed if she wore something worth a few million on herself.
¡°It¡¯ll be a waste if I¡¯m only going to put it in my drawer after I buy it,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, trying to convince not only William but herself as well.
William smiled. ¡°If you really mean what you say, you wouldn¡¯t be gawking at it so much then.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little awkward and rubbed her nose. ¡°It¡¯s not mine anyway. At least it¡¯s free to look at.¡±
If there wasn¡¯t a rule prohibiting photography at the auction, she would definitely take a picture of it as a memento.
She had shopped at many jewelers but had never seen a ne that was in the shape of a strawberry.
It was really unique as though it had been specially made for her.
If she could, she would really want to own it¡
Suddenly, a familiar bullying voice rang out. ¡°Ten million!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She turned to look over at Yin Shaojie, and she saw that he was grinning at her.
In the next second, the person beside her raised his hand too. ¡°15 million!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao whipped her head back violently and looked at William in shock. ¡°What are you doing? Stop fooling around!¡±
Could these guys stop fooling around with this?
This was money they were talking about!!
Yin Shaojie seemed to have no hesitation as he called out, ¡°20 million!¡±
The other bidders raised the bids in increments of a hundred thousand or a million, but these two were extremely bold and kept bidding in increments of five million without batting an eye. Those who didn¡¯t know better might mistake them as only bidding in increments of 500 dors!
Upon seeing that William was about to raise his hand again, Mu Xiaoxiao held his hand down forcefully and red at him as she ordered, ¡°Stop bidding!¡±

She understood Yin Shaojie¡¯s personality thoroughly. He was someone who had to win and would absolutely continue to bid.
William also had a simr personality. Thus, if they continued to bid, the price would skyrocket unimaginably.
Mu Xiaoxiao was terrified just by imagining this.
This was money they were talking about!
However, they weren¡¯t spending her money, so why should she feel pained for them?
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed. Feeling like she couldn¡¯t stay any longer, she pushed William¡¯s hand away and said a little angrily, ¡°Both of you can continue ying if you feel like it. I can¡¯t stand it anymore; I¡¯m getting out of here.¡±
She rose and went out of the auction venue.
William and Yin Shaojie exchanged a very heated nce.
However, William didn¡¯t continue to bid anymore and instead rose and apanied Xiaoxiao out of the venue.
¡°Okay, little baby, don¡¯t be angry anymore. I¡¯ll tell you something, okay?¡± William said from behind Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°What?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t actually angry and had only wanted to lure him out.
William smiled as he looked at her and walked to stand in front of her. Hisrge hand ruffled her hair as he said, ¡°Actually, that ne was not supposed to be auctioned because I¡¯d already purchased it long ago. I saw it and I thought that it¡¯d look good on you, and thinking that it was almost your birthday soon, I wanted to get it for you as a birthday present.¡±
However, since he had brought her up to the cruise ship today, he changed his mind and took out the ne to be auctioned.
Thus, no matter who bid the highest, he would bid an even higher price, for the ne would end up in his hands anyway and he could increase the value of the ne like this too.
Mu Xiaoxiao hadn¡¯t expected this to happen and asked, ¡°Then, now what?¡±
William shrugged. ¡°Since that guy wants to buy it for you, I¡¯ll just let him buy it. I can get you another gift.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was moved by his thoughts. She reached out and hugged him. ¡°William, you¡¯re so kind~¡± she said gently.
William liked to pat her on the head because it felt like petting an animal.
He felt an icy gaze on him and lifted his head to look. He noticed Yin Shaojie, who had already been there for an indeterminate amount of time, gazing at him jealously.
William¡¯s lips suddenly quirked upwards, a sinister snicker in his eyes.
¡°Alright baby, it¡¯s gettingte. You should head to bed.¡± William kissed Xiaoxiao on her face.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze turned even sharper as though he was ring daggers at him.
William deliberately shielded Xiaoxiao¡¯s view of him and looped an arm around her shoulders, apanying her back to her room.
¡
In the room, Mu Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa, swinging her legs all the while ncing at the door asionally.
She didn¡¯t know where Yin Shaojie was going to sleep tonight or if he even had a room to sleep in.
She looked around this suite. It was extremely big ¡ª it wasn¡¯t just a bedroom. It had a master bedroom and a smaller bedroom, and even if he couldn¡¯t sleep in these two ces, he could also always sleep on the sofa.
Oh, wait, Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t like to sleep on the sofa.
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed again, hesitating. Should she go out to look for him?
She had told him that she didn¡¯t want to see him earlier, but now that she couldn¡¯t see him, she began to worry about him again.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt like a pathetic loser who couldn¡¯t keep her word!
Actually, she believed that Yin Shaojie and An Zhixin didn¡¯t have anything going on between them and that what she had seen before was probably a misunderstanding.
However, she still wanted to hear a detailed exnation of what had happened from him.
Also, she wanted to know why he treated An Zhixin so specially.
Was it just because An Zhixin had stayed with him for a while when he had fainted seven years ago?
It was only a chance meeting, but he had remembered it for seven years.

Mu Xiaoxiao felt ufortable no matter how she thought about it. She was especially bothered by it and suddenly felt like dragging Yin Shaojie over for a thorough exnation.
If he dared to say that he had even a hint of feelings for An Zhixin¡
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face suddenly turned severe.
Then she wouldn¡¯t want him anymore.
Mu Xiaoxiao jumped down from the sofa, and her naked feet sank into the soft rug below.
Heck him, she was going to take a bath now.
If Yin Shaojie felt that he cared enough about her, he would naturally think about how to exin things to her. Why should she be frustrated over this?
After Mu Xiaoxiao pushed those questions to the back of her mind as per habit, she entered the bathroom to take a bath.
¡
Mu Xiaoxiao soaked in the gigantic bathtub. She grabbed a handful of bubbles and blew them,ughing as she did.
To every girl, something like a bubble bath couldn¡¯t be undesired, right?
With her arms folded on the edge of her bathtub, she looked towards the window and sighed infort.
This was the epitome of enjoyment. She could take a bath while looking at the sea and didn¡¯t have to be afraid that someone would see her like his.
The open view made her heart open up as well.
Mu Xiaoxiao rxed. Her eyes closed slowly, and she almost fell asleep.
Knock, knock¡
Knock, knock, knock¡
Mu Xiaoxiao was disturbed by a faint noise. She lifted her head up involuntarily, trying to seek out the source of the noise.
Unexpectedly, when she opened her eyes, instead of seeing a view of the sea, she saw a handsome face gazing at her.
She jumped in fright. ¡°Yin Shaojie? How did you¡¡±
Something wasn¡¯t right!
There was nothing outside, and there weren¡¯t even any corridors. How could he appear in this ce?
She suspected that she was still dreaming and rubbed her eyes to confirm if what she was seeing was real. It was indeed Yin Shaojie¡¯s face outside the window.
Yin Shaojie smirked, looking pleased as he continued to knock on the window.
So the knocking was from him.
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head, studied his surroundings, and inhaled deeply. ¡°Are you mad?!¡±
The sea was directly below them, and there was no foothold! How did he appear here!
Upon closer inspection, she noticed that he was roped up and was probably dangling from above.
Mu Xiaoxiao said frantically and anxiously to him, ¡°Hurry up and go up; what if you fall?¡±
This was the middle of the deep sea!
Also, it was already veryte. If he fell into the sea, the result would be unimaginable.
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao knew that Yin Shaojie could swim, this was still the sea, and it was uncertain whether there were sharks or other dangerous creatures about.
She was extremely worried, but this jerk was still grinning dandiacally.
Yin Shaojie pointed to a venttion window at the corner of the bathroom and gestured for her to open it.
Mu Xiaoxiao decided to open the window for him even though she thought that his behavior was very roguish because she was afraid that he would be in danger.
¡°Close your eyes!¡± she shouted at him.
Yin Shaojie was very obedient this time and closed his eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao grabbed her bathrobe quickly, and turning around, she put it on quickly before going over to open the window for him.
However, she didn¡¯t know that she had let a wolf inside¡
Yin Shaojie jumped in at once and picked her up by her waist tyrannically.
¡°Oi! What are you trying to do!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao hit him.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s lips curled up in a sinister smile as he threw her onto the bed and pressed himself on top of her. He pushed his face forward and said in a sexy voice, ¡°I want to eat you up right now¡¡±
Chapter 384 - Untitled
Chapter 384: Untitled
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°I want to eat you up¡¡±
His low voice was full of maism, and him speaking beside her ear like that made her heart quaver.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face reddened, and she pushed him away forcefully. ¡°Get off! Who¡¯s letting you eat who!¡±
Yin Shaojie ignored her and pinned her down tightly, He pressed his warm lips against her cheeks, pecking at her delicate skin. That soft sensation was akin to an egg that had been freshly peeled, smooth and tender.
He was the very worst and even sucked on it as though he was ying with it.
¡°Oi, oi, what are you doing?! Get off!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little fists tugged and pushed on his chest, trying to make him get off her.
However, he was tall, strong, built like a mountain, and as immovable as one. When she hit his chest, it was her fists that hurt.
Was this jerk made out of stone? How could his muscles be so hard!
Mu Xiaoxiaoined to herself about this. However, an idea suddenly shed in her head. She narrowed her eyes and suddenly grabbed onto Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm instead.
Yin Shaojie was stunned and even astonished that she was taking initiative to respond to his advances before the girl bit him.
The bite was hard too, and it was a huge one on his shoulder!
¡°Eh!¡± Yin Shaojie gritted his teeth and looked at her little face, puzzled. He didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. Was this girl born in the Year of the Dog? She had the heart to bite so forcefully!
Mu Xiaoxiao only released him when she noticed that he had stopped his actions. There was saliva on his muscr shoulders, and on his shoulders was a distinct teeth imprint as well.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the imprint with appreciation. It was so round! And so pretty!
She chuckled involuntarily.
Yin Shaojie nced at her, his tone aggrieved as heined, ¡°It hurts! You¡¯re murdering your husband, you know? Mu Xiaoxiao, are you human?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue at him. She bent her right wrist and meowed cutely by his face. ¡°Meow, this girl can¡¯t understand what you¡¯re trying to say, so scram or I¡¯ll turn into a dog and bite you!¡±
She thought about whether the cruise ship had dogs as she said this. If there were, she could ask William to let her have one guard her room to see if this pervert still dared to return!
If she had known that this would have happened, she would have just let him continue dangling in the sea breeze, and even if he fell into the sea, he would be a feast for the sharks!
It was better than letting a wolf who wanted to devour her into her room.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s inky, dark eyes stared at her before suddenly pouncing onto her again.
¡°Yin Shaojie!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shouted loudly.
¡°Your hubby¡¯s here~¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes looked like crescents from smiling as he replied happily. This time, he was very direct and took her mouth into his immediately, preventing her from biting him or saying things that would make him angry.
Mu Xiaoxiao struggled and wanted to bite him again.
However, Yin Shaojie was smart about it this time and only pressed and rubbed his lips against hers.
It felt like he was coaxing her as he traced his tongue against her lips like he was a dog trying to please its owner.
Mu Xiaoxiao had never seen him so subservient before, and her heart melted in an instant, her anger towards him disappearing.
Was this tender, gentle person the same bullying and arrogant Yin Shaojie that she knew?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes clouded over as though a mist overcame them.
However, she had to admit that she was quite happy about it.
Could it be that he only showed this side of himself to her and not anyone else?
Every girl wished that she was the one and only person in the heart of the person they loved, and she was no exception.

Yin Shaojie watched her expression as she stopped struggling, looking like she had no idea what to do with him¡ªhe only felt that it was too cute.
Mu Xiaoxiao patted him and muttered, ¡°If you are done kissing, hurry and get up. Do you know it¡¯s very ufortable with youying on me?¡±
Just look at the size of him. He was sorge and she was so petite; she could not even budge under his weight.
¡°I¡¯m not getting up! Didn¡¯t I tell you? I want to eat you up.¡± Yin Shaojie said very seriously this time, his eyes not containing a single hint that he was kidding. In the darkness of his eyes, which seemed to sparkle with a dazzling of stars, surged an intense and arousing heat.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was getting hot. Thinking that he was just kidding, she rebuked him, ¡°Eat your damn head!¡±
I¡¯m still angry with you, okay?
How could he act so certainly as if she had already forgiven him?
¡°I¡¯d prefer to eat your head.¡± Yin Shaojie smiled flippantly, his unbridled smile seeming totally sinister as if he was a predator with eyes fixed upon a little rabbit.
Trying to escape?
No chance!
Her heart skipped a few beats as Mu Xiaoxiao then had a faint feeling that he was not just kidding.
Before she could react, Yin Shaojie had already lowered himself down onto her.
Caught surprised, Mu Xiaoxiao instinctively turned her head to one side to avoid his kiss.
But Yin Shaojie did not struggle with her as his wet lipsnded on her ear, licking inside.
¡°Hey, stop¡ Oh¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao could not help but let out a sweet, soft moan.
¡°Xiaoxiao, why are you so sensitive¡¡± Yin Shaojiemented, but there was delight in his voice. After all, men liked sensitive women because no matter what he would do to her, she would always respond intensely.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes darkened. This time, he demonstrated his technique by sucking on her earlobe¡
Mu Xiaoxiao felt likeughing as he really seemed like a dog licking her.
However, an electric current surged through her body till it reached her nerve center, and it stopped her fromughing.
The arousal of passion felt unfamiliar to Mu Xiaoxiao, so she was slightly uneasy, not knowing what he would turn her into.
But just as her hand was about to move, Yin Shaojie¡¯s peripheral vision saw it as if he had already expected it. In a sh, he gripped her wrist in one hand, raising her hand and pinning it above her head.
¡°Yin Shaojie¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was red-faced.
What an embarrassing posture¡
Furthermore, she was wearing a bathrobe that was already loose around the cor. With her hand above her, her chest was forced into an forward arching posture.
Her well-rounded bosom was almost delivered right to his face.
Suddenly, Yin Shaojie stopped teasing her at her earlobe as something seemed to have caught his eye. A scorching gaze fell upon the snow-white skin of her bosom.
Her delicate cor bone was disyed fully before him.
Moreover, she had just taken a bath; her body smelled especially nice as it carried a fragrant milky scent.
He had always fancied the smell from her body. It was so pure that it was as if there was only a youthful womanly fragrance.
Her eyes widened. Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to have realized what he was trying to do.
Blushing in embarrassment, she quickly shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t get fresh with me, Yin Shaojie¡¡±
His expression at this moment was making her nervous.
It was as if he really wanted to eat her up.
Of course, Yin Shaojie wanted to eat her up. He already had the intentions very early on, but it was only because their rtionship was still in an ambiguous state that he didn¡¯t dare to tear open the boundaries to tell her that.

However, their feelings toward each other now could not be any clearer.
This would absolutely be the best moment for any man.
Once he had eaten her, she would be his woman!
Completely his!
Recalling the scene of the handsome foreignd being intimate with her and treating her so well, it was obvious to him that their rtionship was not ordinary.
Yin Shaojie had never known that he could ever feel so much jealousy that he could die!
Ignoring her efforts to stop him, Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes darkened as he lowered his head right before her, and he kissed her corbone in a deliberate slow motion.
It was as if he was savoring the taste of it. He was in no hurry, gently caressing it as if he was marking his territory at her bosom.
Anywhere that was touched by his lips became his territory.
Let her body be engulfed with his scent.
Just as the thought came to Yin Shaojie, his breath grew hot as itnded over the skin of her bosom, instantly turning it pink.
¡°Yin Shaojie¡ can you stop ying¡¡±
His breath was too hot, and it was as if it was burning her.
She felt like there was a deer pounding itself on the walls of her heart.
The deer ran faster and faster. Like a headless housefly, it kept banging on her heart.
¡°Okay,¡± Yin Shaojie said in a low voice as he suddenly raised his head.
However, his hand became restless as it traced the hem of the bathrobe, feeling up her slender thigh. The exquisite sensation made him gasp.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. She just remembered that she could still use her legs.
If her hands were locked, she could still use her legs.
Then, lifting her leg to kick him, she cleverly aimed for his groin¡ªthe most vulnerable part of a man.
Even if she missed, then it could at least serve as a warning so that he would not overstep her boundaries.
However, just as Mu Xiaoxiao started to lift her leg, Yin Shaojie smirked sinisterly.
His reaction was like lightning as his strong arm grabbed her knee, and in a smooth motion, he wrapped her legs around his waist.
Suddenly he pressed forward, his big body forced itself between her legs.
And the two were pressed very close together.
¡°Yin Shaojie¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly called out in a sweet, soft voice.
Yin Shaojie was caught unexpected, and he looked up at her.
With her lips parted slightly, Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him with eyes like misty jet-ck ss, and she said suggestively, ¡°Yin Shaojie¡ Come here¡ I want to kiss you¡¡±
She seemed like she was really itching to get on with it, wringing her hands as if she could not wait to break free from him and be the one to take the initiative.
Yin Shaojie stared at her. It was obvious to him that she could be up to something. Why else would she be acting so obediently?
But he was still bewitched. How could he resist such a lovely request?
Yin Shaojie got up to her, and just as she wanted, he kissed her on her little mouth.
Contrary to his expectations, Mu Xiaoxiao did not bite him.
Did this mean she consented?
Yin Shaojie could not be more delighted.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned as she wrung her hand,menting how ufortable she felt as he pressed on her hand.

Yin Shaojie felt bad for her, and he let go of her hand unconsciously.
Since she was being so obedient, he would believe her this time.
Besides, even if he freed her, she could never escape him.
Like a kitten, Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed against his body, her hands touching his solid chest, and she made a gesture.
Yin Shaojie responded to the gesture, turning her over. Now, she was on top and he was below.
Their lips parted.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little face was red as if she was blushing with shame, her eyes watery looking toward him.
Her pink lips parted slightly. ¡°Yin Shaojie¡ Get Lost!¡±
As thest word sounded, she pushed her knee against his stomach.
Yin Shaojie was nimble. Though he was not prepared, he was quick enough to dodge the kick to his stomach.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s intention was to break free from him and escape.
Thus, when he turned over and she distanced herself from him, she quickly got off the bed.
¡°Trying to escape?¡± Yin Shaojie smirked¡ªthe running and chasing seemed interesting to him.
Mu Xiaoxiao gathered her bathrobe tightly and ran out of the bedroom barefooted.
Quick as lightning, Yin Shaojie caught up to her in a few long strides.
Seeing that he was about to catch her, Mu Xiaoxiao shouted, ¡°Don¡¯te near me, you pervert! Who wants you to eat them! You keep dreaming!¡±
¡°Dreams doe true.¡± Yin Shaojie smiled sinisterly as he deliberately blocked the way to the door, leaving her with no other way of escape.
As long as it was within this suite, she could run anywhere she liked, and it wouldn¡¯t matter.
ying tag was good forey, wasn¡¯t it?
Seeing that her route of escape was sealed off, Mu Xiaoxiao put her hands on her waist, and she glowered at him, pretending to be angry as she said, ¡°Do you not want me to forgive you anymore? Just try messing around with me again! I¡¯m telling you, I¡¯ll go immediately and tell my father to cancel the engagement!¡±
Making threats like these should be effective, right?
Yin Shaojie smiled. ¡°I know that you have already forgiven me.¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t! You¡¯re still in the probation period! I haven¡¯t decided to forgive you!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked serious; but because of the hot kiss, her face was still red, so she posed no threat at all.
¡°Then let¡¯s do a little something nice, and I guarantee that you will forgive me.¡± Yin Shaojie was still smiling mischievously.
The sofa and the coffee table separated Mu Xiaoxiao from Yin Shaojie. She said in a huff, ¡°Yin Shaojie, I have seen your true colors!¡±
As if he could not be wrong, Yin Shaojie said, ¡°It¡¯spletely normal for a man to have desires toward the woman he loves. There¡¯s nothing wrong with that.¡±
¡°Nothing wrong?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, and her face froze suddenly.
Did he say¡
The woman he loves?
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him nkly, her heart thumping hard as if there was something warm that filled her heart.
Suddenly she wished¡ that he could say it once more.
Seeing the stupefied look on her, Yin Shaojie could not help but tease her. ¡°If you keep staring nkly, I¡¯m going to pounce on you.¡±
She couldn¡¯t even pay attention when he was right in front of her?
Mu Xiaoxiao snapped out of it. She was blushing, her lips pursed. She suddenly asked him, ¡°Don¡¯t you own me an exnation?¡±
¡°About what?¡± he asked.
¡°The thing about you being with An Zhixin!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao raised her voice and red at him as she still carried resentment about the matter.

At the mention of this, Yin Shaojie became serious and said, ¡°I told you. There is nothing between the two of us. What you saw that night was only a misunderstanding. She did jump on me to kiss me, but I stopped her.¡±
Why couldn¡¯t she get it in her head that there was no way that An Zhixin couldy a kiss on him given the skills that he had?
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted her little mouth and continued to question, ¡°Then, why did you have to go and meet her? Do you care so much about her?¡±
Actually, she had already guessed that they probably had not kissed.
Thus, what she was most concerned about was still how he felt toward An Zhixin.
Yin Shaojie frowned and continued to exin, ¡°She said that she had something to tell me, so I went to meet her for awhile, even though I had already gotten the answer to that matter in my heart.¡±
¡°What matter?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked, seeming concerned.
Hearing his exnation, it seemed that he and An Zhixin shared a thing, and that made her unhappy.
Jealousy filled her mind, and her expression became cold.
Yin Shaojie seemed slightly ufortable. He pinched the space between his brows. Looking at the sofa, he walked around and sat down on it.
He signaled to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was still on guard, but she sat down at another end of the sofa, keeping a distance from him.
Yin Shaojie then said, ¡°I made a mistake about what happened during the incident seven years ago.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao could notprehend. ¡°What?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes stared at her little face, and he said regretfully, ¡°I know that you were the one who had saved me, taking me to the shore. But when I fainted, I woke up when you were not around. I opened my eyes and saw An Zhixin. So I had thought¡ that she was the one who had performed artificial respiration on me¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled, and she frowned.
So that¡¯s why!
She was slightly angry. Though he could not be med, as she thought about how he had continued to believe for so many years that the person who had given him artificial respiration was some other girl and that he had remembered her for seven years, it made her gloomy.
How could he just take away her credit and give it to some other girl?
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and said indignantly, ¡°So that was what happened. So for the past seven years, you have always been thinking about her? You have been thinking of finding her and returning her the favor? So how do you intend to return the favor? To devote your life to her?¡±
And the one he called his one true love must be referring to An Zhixin then.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoxiao was not only upset but also cold and hurt.
Yin Shaojie looked at her sternly in the eye, and he denied it straightforwardly. ¡°Of course not! I have no feelings for her, none at all. I don¡¯t want to kiss her or get close to her. I did make a mistake about what happened in the past, and indeed that¡¯s my fault. Can you not be angry?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not angry. Why would I be angry?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said in a tone full of resentment.
Yin Shaojie thought for a moment, and he felt that he could not go into too much detail with her lest the wretch let her imagination run wild.
He concluded, ¡°In any case, now that the matter has already been made clear and I recall what happened seven years ago, there is only one person I have feelings for and only one person I want to kiss.¡±
Who was that person?
Without needing to ask, she could already tell from the deep emotion he carried in the eyes gazing back at her.
The one person he was referring to was her¡
The resentment that filled her seemed to have dissipated.

Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, and she then asked, ¡°Then, have you¡ really not had any feelings for her? Not even a shred of it?¡±
Though she pretended to not care, she thought, Humph! Even if it¡¯s just a shred of it, then I won¡¯t want him anymore!
However, she saw Yin Shaojie staring at her resolutely as he said, ¡°No, not even a shred.¡±
Yin Shaojie closed his eyes, furrowing his brows, and he pinched the space between his brows again.
Mu Xiaoxiao was thinking about something, and she had not seen him acting odd.
In her mind, two little people were quarreling.
One of them said, ¡°The matter has already been made clear that it was all a misunderstanding. There is nothing between him and An Zhixin, nor does he have any feelings for her. All the nice treatment toward her was only to rify the matter of seven years ago.¡±
Hearing this line of thought, it seems that there was no reason not to forgive him.
However, the second little person said, ¡°But he caused you to cry so many tears. He hurt your heart so deeply. Even if it was just a misunderstanding, your tears and your broken heart were all real!¡±
¡°She should not just forget it and forgive him so easily.¡±
Upon consideration, it seemed right too.
He had caused her to go through such a painful ordeal, to have shed so many tears, and he had left her with an awful memory.
Thinking that she had never been so upset in the 16 years that she had lived, there was still some trauma on Mu Xiaoxiao that made her afraid to fall in love with someone.
¡°I need time to think. I can¡¯t just forgive you like this¡¡± She said as she lifted her head to look at him.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoxiao realized something was amiss. Yin Shaojie was hanging his head down, his face and lips seeming pale. He was using his hand to support his forehead with his eyes closed, and his brows were knitted tightly as if it could pinch a housefly to death.
¡°Hey, what¡¯s the matter with you? Are you not feeling well?¡±
She was slightly worried. Just as she was about to get up and go over to him to have a look, she paused when she remembered how ck-bellied he could be.
Was he feigning illness? Was he trying to make me go soft hearted and voluntarily walk to him like amb delivered into the mouth of a tiger?
No way!
Given his cunningness, she must not y right into his hands.
¡°Are you trying to trick me so that I would go over there? I won¡¯t believe you. I¡¯m telling you, you have lost all your trustworthiness! If you want me to believe you, you must be more honest from now onwards, understand?¡±
She waited for awhile, but there was no sign of movement from him.
Mu Xiaoxiao began to worry again. Why did it seem like he had fainted?
That couldn¡¯t be, right? How would that be possible?
He was still well a moment ago. Why would he be feeling unwell all of a sudden?
Could he have been enduring it the entire time?
Mu Xiaoxiao was half-worried and half-suspicious, but she didn¡¯t dare to go over to him.
If she were to fall for his scheme again, then she would definitely feel really stupid!
¡°Hey!¡± she called out. The scales in her heart tilted toward the side of being worried for him.
What if he has really fainted?
Screw it!
Mu Xiaoxiao stopped struggling with herself and said to him, ¡°Yin Shaojie, if you dare to cheat me again, I won¡¯t ever bother with you! I absolutely won¡¯t bother with you!¡±
With that said, he slowly walked to him.
As she moved closer, Mu Xiaoxiao reached out her hand to touch him. ¡°Why are you¡¡±
Before she could finish speaking, Yin Shaojie swayed and fell on the sofa.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. ¡°Yin Shaojie!¡±
She went to him frantically to check on his situation.
He looks really pale!
Noticing the sweat all over his head, she quickly ced her hand on his forehead to check¡ªit was really hot!

¡°You¡¯re not having a fever, are you?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao gasped as she suddenly recalled earlier in the morning when the helpers had poured ice water all over him.
Moreover, she recalled that when he was at her house, he had only worn a t-shirt.
The weather in America had already gotten much coldertely.
Mu Xiaoxiao could not help but worry that he might havee to America to look for her in such a hurry that he had neglected to check the weather conditions here and ended up not wearing extra clothes.
Though he probably wouldn¡¯t get ill over just a little cold wind given that he was so strong, he had after all been sshed with cold water and stood outside for a long time.
He had also been exposed to the sea breeze while outside earlier on the cruise for god knew how long¡
With these thoughts in her head, Mu Xiaoxiao grew anxious.
After suffering for so long, even if he was as strong as iron, it was impossible for him toe out of it without getting sick!
¡°You¡¯re a real dumbass.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao roasted him to his face.
He was obviously unwell, yet he still pretended that everything was okay, and he had even tried getting handsy with her, wanting to eat her up¡
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiao realized something.
No wonder!
When he was kissing her earlier, she had felt that his lips were unnaturally hot, unlike the previous times when he had kissed her.
Seeing how sick he was, Mu Xiaoxiao felt uneasy and very worried.
She pushed him up so that he couldyfortably on the sofa. Then, she quickly looked for her cell phone to call William for help.
Luckily, there were doctors on board.
Though she knew that William would quickly arrive with the doctor, the ten minutes during which she waited felt unbearable.
She sat on the carpet next to the sofa as she stared at Yin Shaojie¡¯s face.
The look of him with knitted brows and cold sweat on his forehead seemed like he was seriously ill.
Mu Xiaoxiao could not help but grumble about him again, saying, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me that you were sick? Are you a three-year-old? Even three-year-olds know to tell somebody when they are ill! You¡¯re a real idiot!¡±¡®
It was usually him who would scold her for being an idiot. Now, she finally had the chance to get back at him, but Mu Xiaoxiao was not even happy about it.
She touched his forehead again. Why did it feel like it was hotter than before?
Mu Xiaoxiao was very anxious as his body temperature felt scarily high.
They say that high fevers over 40 degrees can kill!
The more she thought, the more fearful she became. Feeling restless sitting, she quickly got up and went to the bathroom to prepare a wet towel to wipe away his cold sweat.
Isn¡¯t that how they do it on TV?
Change a wet towel to remove his cold sweat, and he¡¯ll feel much morefortable.
She simply could not sit and wait for the doctor toe. Thus, she immediately took action when the idea popped into her head.
However, just as she stood up, Yin Shaojie, who was in a feverish daze, reached out his hand and grabbed her.
¡°No¡¡± he mumbled something.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled by the heat from his hand, and with both hands, she held his.
¡°Yin Shaojie, how are you feeling? Are you awake?¡± she bent down and asked beside his ear.
But he did not reply to her, his hand still gripping onto hers, unwilling to let go.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt helpless and anxious, and she said to him as if she was coaxing a child, ¡°Okay, okay. I won¡¯t be angry with you. I¡¯ll just be getting a towel to wipe your sweat, alright?¡±
Yin Shaojie still did not let go of her. On the contrary, when he heard that she was going to leave, he instinctively gripped tighter as if he wanted to say that he would never let her go.
Watching him like this, her heart softened.

Just as they were holding on to each other, the doorbell rang. Mu Xiaoxiao was going to answer the door, but Yin Shaojie still would not release his hand.
¡°The doctor is here. I¡¯ll go get the door,¡± she said softly by his ear.
Still, he wouldn¡¯t let go. It seemed like he could hear nothing as he stubbornly gripped her hand.
Mu Xiaoxiao did not know what else to do, so she called William on her phone to let him find a way to get in himself.
After another few minutes, there was finally the sound of the door opening.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly stood up, waving to William who had just entered. ¡°Over here!¡±
William looked worried as he thought it was Mu Xiaoxiao who was sick. Little did he expect to see that it was Yin Shaojie who was lying on the sofa.
¡°What is he doing here?¡± He was bewildered.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked stumped for words. It didn¡¯t seem right for her to just talk about the whole story of how Yin Shaojie came hanging down from outside the cruise.
¡°Let the doctor take a look at him first. He¡¯s having a bad fever,¡± she said, changing the subject.
William gestured to the doctor. The doctor, carrying the first-aid kit, then quickly came over.
Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to move aside for the doctor. But Yin Shaojie still wouldn¡¯t let go of her, and she had no choice but to shift slightly to one side.
The doctor took Yin Shaojie¡¯s temperature. ¡°40.8 degrees.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao gasped. ¡°So high! It won¡¯t hurt his brain, will it?¡±
The doctor smiled and said, ¡°That is unlikely, but his temperature is indeed very high.¡±
Seeing that the doctor could still smile, it seemed that Yin Shaojie was not in any immediate danger. Mu Xiaoxiao then let out a breath of relief.
The doctor was very professional. After giving Yin Shaojie an injection to ease his fever, he also took physical measures to help lower his body temperature.
After about half an hour of work, Yin Shaojie was sent onto the bed.
The doctor was still smiling politely as he said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°He should sleep for awhile. It is very likely that his fever will return in the middle of the night, but that is very normal. You just need to watch him and let him take the medicine when his temperature rises again.¡±
¡°Thank you, Doctor,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao replied politely.
The doctor nodded to William before carrying the first-aid kit as he left.
William nced at Yin Shaojie who was lying on the bed. Then, his gaze shifted to Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand, which was gripped tightly by Yin Shaojie, and he frowned.
He said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Why don¡¯t I get someone toe take care of him? It¡¯s alreadyte. You can¡¯t watch him the whole time and sleep, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°No thanks. I¡¯ll be fine here.¡±
Her gaze never left Yin Shaojie¡¯s face, and she didn¡¯t even notice that William had left.
Mu Xiaoxiao just sat by the bed, apanying Yin Shaojie.
Later in the night, it was pitch-ck outside as if they had sunk into deep darkness.
Not knowing what time it was, Mu Xiaoxiao finally saw Yin Shaojie waking up.
She delightedly went closer to him. ¡°Yin Shaojie, how are you feeling? Better?¡±
She reached out her hand to touch his forehead. His temperature had not risen, so there was no need to take medicine yet.
Seeing as he was not talking, Mu Xiaoxiao thought he could be dazed from the fever, making him slow to respond.
She then said, ¡°Are you hungry? I¡¯ll get the kitchen to make you porridge or something, alright?¡±
Oh yeah, if he burns up again, he¡¯ll still need to take his medicine, so he needs something to fill his stomach.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s dark eyes were fixated on her face.
Mu Xiaoxiao had the strange feeling that he wanted to just watch her like this until the end of time.
¡°Are you feeling ufortable? If you don¡¯t feel like saying anything, you can nod.¡±
Yin Shaojie tugged at her hand to pull her closer.
Mu Xiaoxiao spontaneously went closer to him and said, ¡°What do you want to say? Ah, are you thirsty? Do you want to drink water?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes smiled as he gazed at her. His slender lips parted, and he said in a rough voice, ¡°What I need the most now is your kiss. I will feel much better after that.¡±

Chapter 392: Would She Dislike Him
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. How could he still be acting so roguish at a time like this? She was unsure whether tough or cry. But hearing his rough voice and paleplexion, she could not help but feel sorry for him.
¡°Look at your parched lips. Have some water first.¡± she said, casting a nce at him as if saying that he would get his reward if he just behaved obediently.
Yin Shaojie also felt that his throat was really dry. His usual maic and alluring voice had be quite unpleasant to hear. Will she dislike me because of this?
With that thought, he nodded his head obediently.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and touched his head. ¡°That¡¯s better. Now, let go of your hand, and let me go get some water.¡±
He had been holding on to her hand ever since he was unconscious. Though she had not used much force, she felt that her hand was really aching.
Suddenly she thought of the saying ¡°May your hand be in mine till the end of time.¡± Indeed, to be with someone for a whole lifetime was not easy.
Though Yin Shaojie was displeased that she was talking to him as if she was coaxing a child, he still loosened his grip.
Actually, he also could not remember why he was holding on to her while he was unconscious.
Now that he had released his hand, he was starting to feel the aching sensation in his wrist. He was already weak with fever, yet all his remaining energy had been spent gripping her hand.
¡°Wait for me here, and I¡¯ll be right back,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said. She then got down of the bed, wore her slippers, and went out.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze followed her as she left, and he paused, staring at the door.
After a few minutes, Mu Xiaoxiao finally returned with the water.
The moment she entered the bedroom, she immediately noticed his gaze fixated on her as if he was afraid that she would run away.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart throbbed for a moment. Does this guy need to watch me so closely?
He¡¯s already sick and weak, yet he still kept watching the door. Doesn¡¯t his eyes get tired?
Though she was criticizing him inside, she felt, inexplicably, that Yin Shaojie was pretty lovable like this.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s smile became gentler as she walked to the bed. She patted the nket on him and said, ¡°Get up and have some water.¡±
¡°Why did you take so long to get some water?¡± Yin Shaojie was displeased when he asked. He looked very frail, and his voice was much hoarser and weaker than before. ¡°I feel like I¡¯m running empty¡ My body has no more strength. I can¡¯t get up.¡±
His eyes drooped, looking pitiful as he said that.
Mu Xiaoxiao did not know what else to do with him, so she ced the ss on the nightstand, leaned forward, and helped him up.
Yin Shaojie wrapped both his arms around her, almost all his weight pressing on her.
¡°Why are you so heavy?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao grumbled, but she still expended all her strength to help him up.
Finally, he was sitting up. However, the Great Master Yin seemed like he had no intention of letting go of her as the arms that were wrapping around her were now hugging her slender waist instead.
He propped his chin on her shoulder, and his tall nose dug into her neck.
His nose was full of her scent.
¡°Hey¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to get up as she felt ufortable with her waist bent in that posture.
¡°Don¡¯t move. Let me recharge,¡± Yin Shaojie said as he hugged her closer.
¡°Recharge what?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao did not understand him, her ck eyes batting as she looked at him, but she could only see the back of his head and his hair.
Seeing him from such a close distance, she realized that his hair was really soft.
Chapter 393 - Your Waist Is Too Weak
Chapter 393: Your Waist Is Too Weak
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
It¡¯s been said that people with soft hair tend to be quite easily influenced. Could that be true for him?
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. Every time when she would throw a tantrum at Yin Shaojie when they were bickering, though Yin Shaojie might look callous at first as if he would not indulge her, he would always go soft in the end and give in to her demands.
She could not help but chuckle.
All these years when she was in America, her friends had always said that she had the best temperament among all the girls they knew and that she was just like a littlemb. Thus, her friends would always feel like protecting her. Her friends would be like William as they would instinctively want to protect her and do their best to treat her well.
But when she was with Yin Shaojie, she would be a little kitty with ws and a temper.
And it wasrgely because of how Yin Shaojie had always indulged her.
This was probably amon problem that most people had.
It is just like how we would throw a temper tantrum at our families because we knew that our families would not really get mad at us or abandon us.
In her heart, Yin Shaojie was already counted as part of her family. Even if she would throw a tantrum or attempt to provoke him, he would not take it to heart and would continue to indulge her.
With that thought, Mu Xiaoxiao felt that she should also indulge him at this time when he was sick.
If she hadn¡¯t thought so, she would have pushed him away. How could she have let him lean on her like that?
He was so bloody heavy!
Sniffing her scent, he smiled and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°I¡¯m recharging¡ Xiaoxiao Energy.¡±
¡°Xiaoxiao Energy? What¡¯s that?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao did not understand him.
Could she have stayed out of China for so long that she could not understand the recent trendy lingo?
Yin Shaojie raised his tone gently as he said with a poker face, ¡°Its full name is Mu Xiaoxiao Energy. It¡¯s function is to restore Yin Shaojie¡¯s vitality.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. Finally, she understood, and her face became slightly suffused with red.
¡°What are you saying¡¡± She was bashful as she patted his back.
Is this guy fried in the head?
Why is he saying, all of a sudden¡ these embarrassing sweet words!
¡°Stop moving about. I¡¯m still not done recharging.¡± Yin Shaojie was bossy as he hugged her even tighter.
Mu Xiaoxiao muttered to herself: No strength in him? He clearly has enough energy to be hugging like this.
However, whenpared to his steel-like arms earlier that made it hard for her to break free, she could feel that his strength was weaker.
Thinking back to her decision to indulge him more earlier, it seemed to be how she should be treating a sick person¡ªwith some preferential treatment.
Thus, she stopped moving.
After a while, Mu Xiaoxiao could not stand it any longer. With her waist bent in that posture, it was too tiring.
Her little face was wrinkled like a steamed bun, and she poked his back with her finger and asked, ¡°Hey, are you done recharging?¡±
Yin Shaojie seemed to have heard some difort in her voice, so he finally released her.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly got up and supported herself at the waist like an olddy.
Seeing the look of her, Yin Shaojie realized something. His eyes were like crescents as he said, pretending to feel bad, ¡°Your waist is too weak. This can¡¯t do. You have to train it more from now onward. Otherwise, it will affect the quality of our lives.¡±
After stretching out, Mu Xiaoxiao felt much better. But she was puzzled after hearing what he said. ¡°What has this got to do with quality of life?¡±

There was no need to do housework as those things were done by the domestic helpers.
Moreover, it wasn¡¯t a problem with her waist. Anyone would get tired after bending like that earlier, wouldn¡¯t they?
So what was he talking about!
Mu Xiaoxiao could not be bothered by him. She passed the ss of water from the nightstand to him and said, ¡°You still have the strength. Hold it and drink it yourself.¡±
Don¡¯t make me feed you again!
Yin Shaojie had initially wanted to let her feed him, but since she had seen through him, he could only forget about it.
He took the ss and slowly drank from it.
Very quickly, he finished the ss of water.
Mu Xiaoxiao reached out her hand to touch his forehead. After confirming that his temperature had not risen again, she felt a slight relief.
Taking the ss from him and cing it back on the nightstand, she looked at him and asked, ¡°Do you want to continue sleeping? Or, would you like to have something to eat?¡±
But Yin Shaojie pointed his slender finger on his lips and said, ¡°I want this.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao turned her eyes away in embarrassment, pretending not to have heard him.
¡°I ordered breakfast earlier. Since you are still not feeling well, have some porridge then. It¡¯ll be easier to digest. Or, would you like to eat something else¡¡±
She stood up as she said this, but he suddenly grabbed hold of her wrist.
Mu Xiaoxiao stopped stiff. Her posture was unchanged as she just would not turn back to look at him. Her cheeks were unnaturally suffused with red.
Then, his hoarse and deep voice said pitifully, ¡°Don¡¯t you want me to get better quickly?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°Of course¡¡±
¡°Kuh, kuh, kuh¡.¡± Yin Shaojie suddenly coughed. His coughs seemed to havee directly from his lungs. It didn¡¯t seem fake and wasn¡¯t pleasant to hear.
Mu Xiaoxiao instantly grew soft, and she turned back to look at him.
Yin Shaojie was indeed not faking it. He seemed to be in great difort as he had even let go of her hand to sp his chest.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him worryingly. ¡°Is it very ufortable? Why not¡ have some medicine?¡±
She seemed to remember the doctor saying that if he continued to feel ufortable, he could also take the medicine to curb the symptoms.
Seeing that he was still coughing and that there was cold sweat starting to form on his forehead again, she was startled.
She put her hand on his forehead to check his temperature.
¡°You¡¯re burning up again!¡± she eximed, her eyes showing guilt. If only she had known to give him the medicine earlier.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly rushed out to pour him another ss of water. She then brought the medicine before him and urged him anxiously, ¡°Take the medicine! You¡¯ll feel better!¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s cough gradually stopped. Frowning at the medicine in her hand, he shook his head and said, ¡°I¡¯m not eating it.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled, her eyes wide open as she asked, ¡°Why won¡¯t you eat it?¡±
The Great Master Yin simply replied with three words, ¡°Don¡¯t want to.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
How can you just eat medicine when you like?
Is this guy being willful?
Seeing him frowning like he was trying to tough it out, Mu Xiaoxiao was on edge. ¡°Eat it! Can you please eat it? Can you be good!¡±
¡°No.¡± The Great Master Yin was being willful.
Mu Xiaoxiao had a strange feeling that she was coaxing a child.
Suddenly, she thought, ¡± Is he trying to be difficult with me? Just because I won¡¯t give him a kiss?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao straightened her expression. She reached out her hand to hold his handsome face, and before he could react, her soft, cherry lips pressed upon his.
Their lips were touching and caressing each other.
A few secondster, she let go of her hands and stepped back.

Chapter 395: His Hot Tongue
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°How about¡ this then.¡±
She didn¡¯t even get to finish herst two words.
A particr demon¡¯s gaze deepened, and just as she was about to step back, hisrge hands cupped the back of her head and pulled her close to him.
The pair¡¯s lips were pressed together again, with no gap between them.
He was kissing her forcefully and even a little impatiently, his lips grinding on her lips wantonly before he forced open her teeth and pushed his hot tongue through.
Perhaps it was because of his fever, but Mu Xiaoxiao thought that his lips and tongue felt really, really hot.
The heat felt like it was could burn her throat.
Mu Xiaoxiao was limp from his kissing and went weak in his embrace¡
Just then, the doorbell rang suddenly.
Mu Xiaoxiao came back to her senses. She pushed his chest away blushingly, reminding him that someone was here.
That should be the arrival of the porridge she had ordered.
Initially, Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t want to let go of her. However, after seeing that she needed to breathe, he moved his lips away reluctantly.
¡°Ignore it,¡± he said huskily, his hot dark gaze locked onto her little face as though he was admiring her current coquettish look, the coquettish look of enamorment after being kissed by him.
He was the only one who could see this look of hers.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heartbeat increased under his gaze. She didn¡¯t dare to look at him and could only look away shyly, staring at the door instead.
¡°It¡¯s the porridge that¡¯s arrived¡ Oh yeah, you should have some porridge before eating your medicine.¡±
She suddenly thought of this.
¡°I don¡¯t want to eat medicine. I¡¯m feeling much better,¡± Yin Shaojie said, his voice sounding obviously joyful.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t believe him and reached out a hand to touch his forehead.
As expected, it was still very hot!
¡°You call this feeling better? You¡¯re still feverish!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao red at him in displeasure.
Yin Shaojie looked at her blushing little face and felt that her expression after she had been kissed by him was extremely cute.
He smirked and replied, ¡°Didn¡¯t I say it already? I need your kisses to feel better. Should we go for it again?¡±
¡°No! You liar!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao felt both embarrassed and angry. She pushed against his chest with both her hands, not letting him lean into her.
She had already kissed him, but he still refused to eat his medicine.
The doorbell rang again. Afraid that the person at the door would leave, she pushed him away quickly and dashed outside.
A pitiable Yin Shaojie tutted.
In a short while, Mu Xiaoxiao entered with a bowl of porridge in her hands. She walked near the bed but kept her distance purposely.
She looked at him as she said, ¡°I¡¯ll give you a choice right now. Eat this porridge and eat your medicine; or else, I will chase you out!¡±
However, she felt a little guilty as she looked at his sick countenance and added, ¡°Or I¡¯ll go out! Yeah, I¡¯ll go to William¡¯s room and sleep with him!¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned, and his expression turned severe. ¡°I forbid it!¡±
Was she trying to anger him to death?
How could she say that she wanted to go to another man¡¯s room and sleep with him?
He dared her to say it once more!
Yin Shaojie gritted his teeth, overwhelmed by jealousy once more.
When he thought about how that man called William treated her so well, he wondered if he liked her. What if he took advantage of her if she went up to him willingly?
This girl had no brains at all!
Yin Shaojie was so annoyed that he felt like smacking her little butt!
Mu Xiaoxiao noticed that her threat was working, and her face lit up with a smile, looking pleased with herself.
She proffered the porridge in front of him and ordered, ¡°Hurry up and eat, you hear me? If not, I¡¯ll go look for William right now.¡±

Yin Shaojie looked at her before taking the bowl of porridge obediently and eating it slowly.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded satisfactorily as she supervised him with her arms crossed.
After the porridge was finished, she held the medicine out to him.
¡°Eat your medicine,¡± she said.
Yin Shaojie stared at the medicine in her hands and frowned deeply. ¡°It¡¯s okay if I don¡¯t eat the medicine, right? My fever¡¯s alreadying down.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at his expression, and a thought leaped into her head. She eximed, ¡°Could it be that you¡¯re afraid of eating medicine?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at her and retorted, ¡°Is there anyone who likes to eat medicine?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and almostughed out loud.
So it turned out that this guy was afraid of taking medicine!
Yin Shaojie looked at her expression and knew why she was trying not tough. Unhappy, he dered solemnly, ¡°I¡¯m not afraid of eating medicine! I just don¡¯t like to eat medicine!¡±
¡°Is there a difference?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked, amused.
¡°Of course there is!¡± the Great Master Yin replied seriously. ¡°No one likes to eat medicine, right? Also, I feel so much better already, and my fever is going down. I don¡¯t have to eat medicine anymore.¡±
¡°Okay then.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her head as she held the medicine up to his eyes. ¡°I¡¯ll ask you this then: You didn¡¯t forget the choices I gave you earlier, right? Would you rather eat your porridge and medicine or have me go to William?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at her little face and finally gave in. He reached out and grabbed the medicine, put it into his mouth swiftly, and tilted his head up and drank water.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at this satisfactorily and beamed happily. ¡°Good boy.¡±
Yin Shaojie nced askance at her and held out the empty water ss to her. When she reached out to take it from him, he grabbed onto her wrist suddenly and pulled her over.
The other hand took her chin swiftly, and his pretty lips closed over hers.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened, and she pushed him away forcefully. She shouted angrily, ¡°Ah ¡ª you jerk! How could you do this!¡±
She licked her lips and swallowed her saliva, trying to get rid of the taste of the medicine.
Yin Shaojie was smiling devilishly. ¡°So I was right then? No one likes to eat medicine.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted as she red at him.
He was going to be the death of her!
She had been so good to him, trying countless methods to coax him into eating his medicine so that he would get well sooner!
How could he do this to her!
Mu Xiaoxiao puffed out her cheeks in anger. ¡°You¡¯re so despicable! I¡¯m going to ignore you, and I¡¯m going to look for William right now and sleep in his room! You can stay here yourself! Humph!¡±
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t possibly let her look for William. He hooked an arm around her waist in a swoop, and in one swift motion, he pulled her onto the bed.
¡°Okay, I¡¯ve already taken my medicine and need to rest. Let¡¯s sleep.¡±
He ced her beside him, his arms encircling her slim waist.
Mu Xiaoxiao was at her wits¡¯ end with him already. However, since he was still sick and his face still looked pale, she decided not to argue with him.
Never mind then, she¡¯d yield to him this time then.
Actually, it was already reallyte at this time ¡ª it was already past midnight. Also, Mu Xiaoxiao was tired of the repeated bickering and gradually fell asleep in his embrace.
The pair slept together in each other¡¯s arms, just like they had done in the condominium.
It was as if nothing had changed.
¡
The next day.
Sunlight shined through the windows onto the elegant white geese feathered carpet.
Faintly visible on the bed were two entwined figures¡
Mu Xiaoxiao had a dream. She dreamed that a snake had coiled around her, and the snake had opened itsrge mouth and wanted to eat her in one big mouthful.
She woke up in fright. She then found a weight pressing down on top of her, and the demon above her was busy doing something around her chest.
He was sucking at her neck¡
Chapter 397 - Her On Top of Him
Chapter 397: Her On Top of Him
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao had just woken up. Her eyes were droopy, and her thoughts were fuzzy. She looked at him for a while before she reacted.
She frowned. Reaching out, she tried to push Yin Shaojie¡¯s busy head.
¡°¡ What are you trying to do¡¡±
Upon hearing her voice, Yin Shaojie lifted his handsome face from his chest. His sexy lips curled into a smirk as though he had been doing something that satisfied him immensely.
¡°Wanna guess?¡± His voice was low like a subwoofer, and it sounded very pleasant.
Mu Xiaoxiao yawned widely. Her eyes were still not fully opened, but she could feel a coolness on her chest. Upon focusing her gaze on herself, she could clearly see that the cor of her shirt had been pushed aside, revealing a spread of snow-white skin.
¡°You ¡ª pervert!¡± She becamepletely sober and pped Yin Shaojie¡¯s head hard.
She then tried to kick him away blushingly.
What was he doing fooling around so early in the morning!
Yin Shaojie dealt with the attack simply. With a defiant smile on his lips, he grabbed her thigh with hisrge hands as it swung out to kick him. Using the momentum, he wrapped her leg around his waist.
Mu Xiaoxiao struggled, trying to retract her leg.
She had miscalcted!
However, she feltnguid and unenergetic as she had just woken up.
¡°Yin Shaojie, the pressure¡¯s ufortable!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao wrinkled her face as she said unhappily, pretending to look angry.
Yin Shaojie cocked an eyebrow, his gaze yful.
Suddenly, he flipped over. Now, she was on top.
Their current position was her on top and him below.
Yin Shaojiey on the pillowfortably, studying her with his dark eyes and obviously enjoying this position. His mouth was curled up in a smirk and he looked very pleased.
¡°How about this?¡±
Now that he was the one being pressed on, she wouldn¡¯t feel ufortable now, would she?
Mu Xiaoxiao usually found it difficult to get out of bed. She was the type toy in bed for a while before she was willing to get up.
If this was any other day, she would have hit him already.
However, she was feeling reallyzy. She didn¡¯t want to move¡
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t as drowsy as before, she was still not fully sober yet, and her thoughts were still in a daze.
She had indeed felt ufortable when he had been pressed on top of her earlier, for it had felt like her dream had manifested into reality.
Now that the weight on her body was gone, she felt much more rxed.
Thus, Mu Xiaoxiaoy on top of his body as per habit.
She was like a littlezy ko right now. One side of her cheek was stered against his chest, while her hands were by her sides. She was in a state ofplete rxation, and when she closed her eyes, she wanted to continue to stay in bed and not get up.
Staying in bed was one of the happiest things in life~
Mu Xiaoxiao sighedfortably.
Even though Yin Shaojie¡¯s chest was too muscr and felt a little firm, unlike a soft pillow, he was warm. With the weather turning cool, being warmed by someone else¡¯s heat felt extremelyfortable.
Also, with her ear stered onto his chest, she could hear his strong, steady heartbeat.
She liked the sound of heartbeats.
Perhaps it was because everyone listened to the sound of their mother¡¯s heartbeat as they grew in her womb, making it so that everyone had a special feeling regarding it.
Yin Shaojie looked down at herzy expression. He felt helpless and amused.
He had switched positions with her so that he could continue to do things to her, okay?
However, she waspletely at ease, lookingfortable as she stayed in bed.
Yin Shaojie observed her face at a close distance with the help of the clear sunlight. The delicate skin on her face looked as though there were no pores on them, and it looked so tender that it was almost dewy.

Chapter 398: Pleasurable Torture
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Yin Shaojie really wanted to do things to her. However, it wasn¡¯t convenient for him to move about with her on top of him, for she would be disturbed if he did.
He smiled helplessly.
It was as though he had shot himself in the foot and let this girl use him as a mat.
However¡
It felt reallyfortable to be holding her like this, and she had just taken a shower and smelled really good. Also, because a girl¡¯s frame was smaller, holding her felt morefortable than hugging a plushie.
So this was how it meant to have supple skin and a delightful fragrance.
¡°Ai.¡± Yin Shaojie sighed again.
Even though it wasfortable to hold her like this, it was a torturous pleasure!
Even though it clearly felt like torture, under the sway of feeling both pleasure and torture, he eventually still chose to endure the pain for the pleasure.
After about half an hour more.
Yin Shaojie finally couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He felt like he was going to go numb if he continued like this.
In contrast, the girl was deeplyfortable staying in bed.
He was the only one enduring all the pain.
It felt unfair.
¡°Hey, Xiaoxiao, time to get up.¡± His voice sounded a little scratchy as he lowered his head and called to her. Because he was being pressed down on, he couldn¡¯t really move, and he poked her with his finger as per habit.
Mu Xiaoxiao was like a little cat. She snuggled her head into his chest but had no intention of getting up.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao!¡± Yin Shaojie frowned and said in a louder voice.
He dared her to continue to sleep.
Didn¡¯t she know how much he was suffering?
On the other hand, she was using him as a pillow and was veryfortable.
Mu Xiaoxiao finally lifted her head off when she heard his shouts. Her clear little face was full of displeasure as she red at him and grumbled, ¡°You¡¯re so noisy! I took care of you all night yesterday and I¡¯m tired, okay? I haven¡¯t even gotten enough rest but you¡¯re disturbing me!¡±
¡°If you don¡¯t get up, the sunlight¡¯s going to reach your butt soon!¡± Yin Shaojie lifted his hand up to smack her butt as he said this.
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t very tall, her body¡¯s proportions were very good and were perfect in the eyes of a man.
Of course, she was a little petite, and it would be even better if she was a little taller.
However, it didn¡¯t matter. Yin Shaojie thought that she was good no matter how she looked.
Mu Xiaoxiao finally couldn¡¯t take the annoyance anymore. She propped herself up with both hands on his chest and rolled over to one side.
She curled up in the covers and continued to stay in bed.
Staying in bed was a vicious cycle ¡ª the longer one stayed, the more one didn¡¯t want to get up.
Also, Mu Xiaoxiao had gone through his teasing, worried over him, and even taken care of himst night. She was really tired, okay.
Yet, he still disturbed her sleep. He was too much!
Yin Shaojie leaned over and ruffled her hair before getting off the bed.
Despite having her eyes closed, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ears perked up at his movements.
She could hear his footsteps walking into the washroom and the sound of water from a tap.
The gigantic bed suddenly felt really empty with him gone.
She had wanted to continue staying in bed, but she suddenly lost the feeling to sleep and opened her eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat up suddenly and rubbed her head. She seemed to think of something suddenly and asked in the direction of the washroom, ¡°Yin Shaojie, have you recovered?¡±
His good spirits in the morning suggested that his fever had broken.
She waited for a while, but there was no reply.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. Did he not hear her because of the running water?
Just then, the door opened with a swish.
Yin Shaojie walked out, his body wet and topless, showing his chest muscles, while his modesty was protected by only a towel below.
Chapter 399 - Shell See Him Naked in the Future Anyway

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened, stunned.
How could he let her see such a shocking sight early in the morning¡
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart beat wildly as though there were two kittens in her heart scratching each other. It felt a little itchy.
She swallowed.
This scene was too bright¡
She suddenly had a strong desire to touch his muscles. What was going on?
Heavens! She must be going mad!
Mu Xiaoxiao felt her face turn hot. She quickly pulled up the nket, and lifting it up, she covered her head with it.
The sound of footsteps became closer.
Yin Shaojie looked at her ostrich-like disy amusedly, his maic voice ringing out, ¡°I don¡¯t have any clothes to change into; what do I do?¡±
¡°Why did you shower when you don¡¯t have clothes to change into then!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s voice came out from under the nket.
Yin Shaojie tugged at the nket. ¡°Come on out. What are you doing in there? Trying to imitate an ostrich? Hurry up and get me a shirt.¡±
¡°Why should it be me who gets you a shirt. Think of how to get it yourself!¡±
She just didn¡¯t want toe out.
Who knew if he was going to fool around with her again if she did.
Yin Shaojie looked at his body. ¡°How am I supposed to find a shirt like this? Doesn¡¯t this cruise have a mall? Buy a shirt for me.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little stuffy from being under the nket. Unable to take it any longer, she lifted it up.
However, she still used the nket to block her view.
¡°Then¡ I¡¯ll think of a way. I don¡¯t know if I can buy one using the iPad. Wait.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao got off the bed but kept the nket up with her hands.
¡°Is that really necessary? I¡¯m your husband, and you¡¯ll see me naked in the future anyway.¡± Yin Shaojie tugged at the nket bullyingly and pulled it away.
¡°You shameless creature! Who wants to see you naked!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao ridiculed before running out.
Behind her, Yin Shaojie was grinning widely.
She didn¡¯t want to see him naked, huh?
We¡¯ll see.
Mu Xiaoxiao swiped through the software on the iPad and discovered there were only applications for ordering food, not clothes. Helpless, she could only rely on William.
Before ten minutes was up, someone sent over two sets of clothes.
After Yin Shaojie changed into his clothes, he looked at what he had on. The ck cks and the beige micro neck tee made his figure look even taller and more slender.
He stuck a hand in one pocket while the other snaked around Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s waist. ¡°You should be hungry, yeah?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him. ¡°I¡¯m starving to death, all right.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go have breakfast then.¡±
In a Chinese restaurant.
Ever since Mu Xiaoxiao had the Cantonese-style morning tea, she didn¡¯t want to have Western-style breakfasts anymore. She thought that thetter¡¯s variety was too simplistic, and it only had the same few types of food. As expected, Chinese food had the most variety!
Once she found a ce to sit, a smiling waiter came up to her. ¡°Miss, are you dining alone?¡±
¡°No, I¡¯m dining with another person.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. She looked to her side and discovered that Yin Shaojie was gone.
Where was he?
Where did he go?
Why didn¡¯t he inform her that he wanted to go off?
The waiter nodded. ¡°Okay, two people then. This is the menu. Please look at what you would like to order.¡±
¡°Hang on.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t take the menu but pushed her chair away as she stood up. ¡°Hang on for a bit; I¡¯ll check out where my friend has gone to.¡±
She walked out, wondering if she had been separated from Yin Shaojie.
Unexpectedly, she saw his silhouette near the Chinese restaurant. He was with a girl and they were talking merrily.
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. Wasn¡¯t that Betty? He knew Betty?
Chapter 400 - She Did It On Purpose
Chapter 400: She Did It On Purpose
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
It would be eptable if she was any other girl. What made it hard to swallow was ¡ª how could Yin Shaojie know Betty?
Could it be that his flirtatious side had emerged when he saw how pretty Betty was and was now trying to hit on her ?
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to admit it, Betty was actually a very pretty girl by Western standards. Her features shined with an enigmatic beauty. She had a coy and coquettish gaze, and her wavy hair entuated her sexy figure.
Western girls were normally more well-endowed, and they were less afraid to show it.
Betty was not an exception. She liked to wear revealing clothes, especially those that had a low V-neckline. It was as if she would suffocate if she didn¡¯t show her chest off.
In addition, Betty¡¯s family background made her a goddess in many of the boys¡¯ hearts in school.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s gaze fell to Betty¡¯s chest involuntarily and noticed that she kept moving her chest towards Yin Shaojie on purpose and that she also had a seductive gaze.
As she looked down at her own chest, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but think about how men were stereotypically visual beings and thus liked big boobs.
So, could Yin Shaojie be attracted by Betty?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart surged with an unhappy emotion, and she wanted to rush over right at the next second.
However, just then, Yin Shaojie smiled significantly as he said something to Betty, which made him look not only sinister but also even more mesmerizing. This wild and devilish type of smile had a killer attractiveness that especially appealed to girls.
Betty was swept away by that smile of his as she talked to him, and her eyes lit up with fascination involuntarily.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao halted her movement and decided not to stay put.
She narrowed her eyes and stared at Yin Shaojie¡¯s smile, reaching an internal conclusion of some sort.
With her understanding of him, that smile of his was definitely one of scheming, not a flirtatious one.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao was still feeling very doubtful. How did Yin Shaojie and Betty know each other?
However, she didn¡¯t act rashly this time but crossed her arms and observed the situation calmly.
Just then, Betty turned her gaze towards her and found Mu Xiaoxiao there. She grinned, pleased, before leaning forward and hugging Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm.
Betty then touched Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm coyly and gave him a saucy nce before leaving.
Yin Shaojie stuck a hand into his pocket, looking madly handsome.
After seeing Betty off, he turned his gaze behind and looked at Xiaoxiao, seeming as though he already knew that she was there
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her chin and red at him before harrumphing. She then rushed into the Chinese restaurant without even interrogating him.
Yin Shaojie was stunned and hurried over to catch up with her.
¡°Xiaoxiao,¡± he called out from behind her.
Mu Xiaoxiao pretended that she hadn¡¯t heard anything. She walked towards her earlier seat and sat down.
The waiter was already waiting for them and came over to pour some water for her. ¡°Miss, are the both of you ready? What would you like to order?¡± she smiled as she asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t look at Yin Shaojie but said to the waiter directly, ¡°I¡¯m now alone. Please ask this man to leave. I don¡¯t like to fight over tables.¡±
Stuck in an awkward spot, the waiter looked towards Yin Shaojie.
It was obvious that the pair was bickering, so the waiter didn¡¯t know if he shouldply or not.
Yin Shaojie looked calm as he asked the waiter to bring the menu, and he quickly ordered the food.
Chapter 401 - He Likes How She Looks When Shes Jealous

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Also, the dishes he ordered were those that Xiaoxiao liked to eat.
The waiter had been a little worried, but luckily, Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t object to this.
¡°That¡¯ll be all.¡± Yin Shaojie closed the menu and gave it back to the waiter.
The waiter left immediately after receiving it.
Yin Shaojie looked at Mu Xiaoxiao. His very handsome face looked amused as he leaned closer to her and reached out to touch her hand.
¡°Are you jealous? Aren¡¯t you going to interrogate me and ask what I was talking to her about?¡± His dark eyes observed her as he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao puffed her cheeks out and finally looked at him. ¡°How do you know her? Did you know her before today, or did you just get to know her? Have you dated her before? Don¡¯t tell me anything; I don¡¯t want to hear what you talked about!¡± she huffed angrily.
She didn¡¯t want to know what kind of things he said to other girls to make them happy.
Upon thinking about this, and even knowing that there was a possibility that he was plotting something against Betty, Mu Xiaoxiao still felt unhappy.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s smile deepened. It looked as though this girl got jealous really easily.
However, he liked how she looked when she was jealous.
It made him feel that she cared a lot for him.
However, it should still be moderated, as too much jealousy would backfire on their rtionship.
If he made her really unhappy, his heart would ache.
Yin Shaojie said helplessly, ¡°I don¡¯t know her. She was the one who suddenly hit on me.¡±
¡°Did you have to flirt back when she hit on you then?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t that angry initially, but her anger was now increasing as she spoke, and she even pushed his arm away shamelessly, ignoring all the eyes on them.
¡°I have my reasons,¡± Yin Shaojie exined hastily.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t give him a chance to speak. Before he could finish talking, she interrupted, ¡°Don¡¯t you know we don¡¯t see eye to eye with each other? Yet, you were talking so merrily with her earlier! You really¡ are the death of me!¡±
If she had known about this, she wouldn¡¯t have forgiven him so quickly.
¡°I know that you don¡¯t see eye to eye with her. Can you listen to me before getting angry?¡± Yin Shaojie said to her as he realized that she was really angry, his heart aching.
¡°You knew?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised. ¡°How did you know?¡± she asked.
Yin Shaojie hung an arm around the back of her chair while leaning towards her. Using a whisper that only the both of them could hear, he said, ¡°During the ball yesterday, I noticed her after I¡¯d found you. I saw that she had been staring at you maliciously and was even whispering about something mysterious with her friends, looking like she wanted to hurt you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. She didn¡¯t know that things were like that. ¡°Then?¡± she asked hurriedly.
Yin Shaojie smirked, and his gaze looked pleased as he said, ¡°Then the lights went off. I saw her sneaking over to you furtively, and then I¡ just so happened to kick her into the water.¡±
Just happened to¡ kick her?
Mu Xiaoxiao sniggered.
So Betty had fallen into the pool because he had kicked her?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s gloomy mood lifted immediately, reced by a happy one. She nced at his expression, which was begging for praise, but ignored it deliberately as she asked, ¡°Why did you pay attention to her then? Couldn¡¯t you have ignored her? Aren¡¯t you making her satisfied by letting her flirt with you?¡±
She understood now.
Betty was deliberately trying to seduce Yin Shaojie.

Betty must have seen her with Yin Shaojie, so she tried to hit on him.
It was just like when Mu Xiaoxiao was studying in America. Every time a boy confessed to Mu Xiaoxiao, Betty would immediately seduce the boy and make him be her admirer.
Betty was keenly aware of everything that was Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s and felt a need to snatch it away.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s smile became even more sinister. ¡°Don¡¯t you think that bringing her hopes up high before letting it all crash down would make her even more pathetic?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao immediately understood.
She cupped her chin with a hand and nced at him sideways. Her obsidian eyes looked as if there was a little devil shining in them.
¡°So you want to punish her and take revenge for me?¡±
Even though she still didn¡¯t know what his n was, she already felt that this was going to be interesting.
Thinking about being able to punish Betty even once made Mu Xiaoxiao feel like setting off firecrackers to celebrate.
¡°There¡¯s also another thing. Actually, I met her one other time and she was full of insults for China. It was really angering.¡± Yin Shaojie gritted his teeth as he mentioned the incident, and he really looked angry.
Upon hearing him mention this, Mu Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously and agreed. ¡°I know, right? She can hate me all she wants, but how could she attack everything about China just because of me? Sometimes, when I hear her say those things, I get so angry that I want to just¡ stuff sh*t into her mouth!¡±
Yin Shaojie held up a hand.
Mu Xiaoxiao understood his gesture and both of them high-fived.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face looked regretful. He sighed as he said, ¡°It¡¯s too bad that this is a high-ss cruise and we can¡¯t find such a dirty thing. If not¡ heheh¡¡±
He chuckled darkly, his gaze vicious.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at his expression and didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. ¡°Would you really do that?¡±
She had been too angry and had only said it out of anger.
However, from his gaze, it seemed as though he would really do it if the circumstances allowed for it.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s lips curled unapprovingly. He harrumphed, ¡°She won¡¯t die from eating sh*t!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Ahem, he made sense!
She thought about it and realized that it was true that she wouldn¡¯t die. Imagining Betty¡¯s mouth filled with sh*it was¡ Mu Xiaoxiao felt really satisfied.
Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed internally. It wasn¡¯t that she was too evil; it was that her country¡¯s sanctity was something that shouldn¡¯t be vited!
If Betty only insulted her, she would endure what she could, and when she couldn¡¯t, she could retort back.
Because she was William¡¯s cousin, Mu Xiaoxiao normally didn¡¯t bicker with her if she could help it. She tried to be magnanimous, not wanting to bother with arguing with a fool.
However, it was different this time. She couldn¡¯t forgive her for insulting her country!
Also, Betty¡¯s attitude was too despicable anyway. For example, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but punch her even though she was a normally even-tempered person.
It was Yin Shaojie¡¯s turn this time.
Great Master Yin was infamous for his bad temper. Whoever incurred his wrath could only pray to the gods that they wouldn¡¯t die too horrible a death.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him and asked curiously, ¡°How are you going to punish her then? Hurry up and tell me!¡±
Just then, the ordered food came.
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Eat your breakfast first. Didn¡¯t you say that you were hungry? I¡¯ll tell you after you¡¯re full.¡±
¡°You can tell me while we eat!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s curiosity was aroused, and she didn¡¯t want to be kept in suspense.

Mu Xiaoxiao felt that even if this breakfast was extremely delicious, she would get indigestion if she ate it.
¡°Alright then, I n to¡¡±
Yin Shaojie was about to start talking about his n when Mu Xiaoxiao saw William walking over. She pped his hand immediately. ¡°Don¡¯t say it yet! Don¡¯t say it yet!¡±
Yin Shaojie looked in the direction she was gazing. Upon seeing that it was William, his brows furrowed.
A particr demon looked unweing, and he didn¡¯t bother to hide it.
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him, signaling for him to act nicer.
William smiled meaningfully as he walked over. Sitting down on the other side of Mu Xiaoxiao, he asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you call me to eat breakfast with you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the time. It was already past ten, so how was this breakfast? It was almost lunch already.
She answered, ¡°I didn¡¯t know if you were busy or not.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not that busy. Also, even if I were, I have to make some time for my baby, right? Baby?¡± William smiled his sexy smile, looking as though he was gazing at Mu Xiaoxiao tenderly.
¡°m ¡ª ¡± Someone hit the table unhappily.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression was frosty and severe. He pointed a long finger at William and gritted his teeth as he warned, ¡°Let me tell you this. Xiaoxiao is MY baby, not yours! Don¡¯t let me hear you call her ¡®baby¡¯ anymore, or else¡¡±
Even if he came from a family that shouldn¡¯t be offended, Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t afraid at all!
William rubbed his nose as he grinned at Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°That stench of jealousy is strong! Xiaoxiao, baby, do you smell it?¡±
He had told him not to call her baby, but he still did.
¡°You ¡ª ¡± This time, Yin Shaojie mmed on the table and rose, his fists curling. A vein protruded from his temple.
Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedly pulled Yin Shaojie down. ¡°Don¡¯t be rash! William is only joking with you! Why are you jealous when there¡¯s nothing to be jealous about? You idiot!¡±
William lifted the teacup in front of her and took a drink. ¡°Your man¡¯s interesting. He¡¯s like Chinese firecrackers ¡ª exploding immediately when lit, unlike my family¡¯s¡¡±
William sighed and shook his head as he seemed to think of something.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s anger lessened as he heard himself addressed as ¡°Xiaoxiao¡¯s man,¡± but his sharp gaze was still fixated on William¡¯s face as though he was scrutinizing his rtionship with Xiaoxiao.
It looked as though William didn¡¯t like Xiaoxiao in that way.
If not, he wouldn¡¯t have such a rxed attitude.
And also, who was he referring to in hisst sentence?
Did it mean that he already had someone?
Upon thinking of this, Yin Shaojie¡¯s retracted some of his hostility towards the other man.
William looked at him teasingly, his mouth curling into a smirk as he said, ¡°What? You don¡¯t like Xiaoxiao anymore? Are you in love with me now?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked like he wanted to vomit. He snorted. ¡°You¡¯re shameless!¡±
¡°Thanks for thepliment.¡± William didn¡¯t lose his cool but maintained his elegant and smiling expression.
Mu Xiaoxiao knocked on the table. ¡°Alright, alright. I¡¯ll make the introductions. This is Yin Shaojie, my¡ fianc¨¦; this is William, my good friend from America. He¡¯s a really, really good friend.¡±
She even red at Yin Shaojie when she mentioned thest sentence.
It seemed to say: You see, girls and guys can be friends too!
¡°Fianc¨¦?¡± William was puzzled. He looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, ¡°So you went back to China suddenly to get engaged?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly. ¡°It is a long story¡¡±

Hearing the introduction she made for him, he was very pleased, and he bossily pulled her into his embrace.
He red at William and said, ¡°Even though you are Xiaoxiao¡¯s friend, I am her fianc¨¦, and I don¡¯t like to hear people calling my fianc¨¦e ¡®baby.¡¯ You should understand that, right?¡±
William smiled and retorted Yin Shaojie, ¡°I call her ¡®baby¡¯ as a term of endearment. Even if you are Xiaoxiao¡¯s fianc¨¦, I don¡¯t think that you have any right to intervene in this, do you? Don¡¯t worry; I¡¯m won¡¯t be a threat to you. If that were not the case¡¡±
He turned his head slightly, ncing at Mu Xiaoxiao.
It was as if he was telling Yin Shaojie that if he had any desires toward Xiaoxiao, she would have already been his.
Yin Shaojie smiled with pursed lips, but rage burned in his eyes.
The other party¡¯s confidence had riled him up. If not for Xiaoxiao, he would have already gone up to him to give him a beating.
Yin Shaojie noticed that Mu Xiaoxiao was not making a sound, and he turned to look at her. And he found that the wretch was actually eating something! She hadpletely neglected to see the undercurrent hostility between him and William.
¡°This prawn dumpling is not bad, yummy! I didn¡¯t expect the Cantonese-style morning tea here to be quite authentic. It¡¯s pretty close to what we had in China. Eh, are you guys hungry? Hurry up and dig in.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao could not be bothered by the confrontation between the two. She was already starving. Eating was still the priority!
Seeing the look of her chugging down food like that, the stiffened expression on Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face instantly wore a gentle smile.
¡°Slow down. Don¡¯t choke.¡±
Just when he warned her, Mu Xiaoxiao choked, patting her chest while trying to swallow the food.
Yin Shaojie quickly passed the teacup to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao gulped down the drink in one breath. Fortunately, the food went down sessfully.
¡°You jinx!¡± She red at Yin Shaojie, displeased.
Yin Shaojie raised his eyebrows. ¡°You¡¯re ming me? Who asked you to eat so quickly? People who don¡¯t know better might think that you had just escaped from a refugee camp.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him angrily. ¡°You¡¯re the one who came from a refugee camp! How can an elegantdy like me be a refugee!¡±
¡°That¡¯s what you looked like when you were eating just now. If you don¡¯t believe me, take a look at yourself in the mirror.¡±
¡°Yin Shaojie! Do you want to sleep on the sofa tonight?¡±
¡°¡ I knew you would use this to threaten me. Can¡¯t you try a different trick?¡±
¡°This is the only trick I need. Why do I need another?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at her, speechless.
But seeing as Mu Xiaoxiao was coughing, he ced his hand on her back to help calm her down.
At the same time as William was eating, he watched from the amusing bickering between the two from the side.
¡
Initially, William had wanted to find Mu Xiaoxiao in order to take her around the cruise to have fun like a good host should. However, with the bossy Yin Shaojie around, Mu Xiaoxiao naturally wouldn¡¯t go with him.
In the end, Yin Shaojie found an opportunity and ditched William.
Holding Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand, the two strolled around the cruise, and they ended up outside the cinema.
Looking up the screening schedule, Mu Xiaoxiao saw that one of the movies was actually going to hit the screens in all big movie theaters in America only in a few days time. Little did she expect to be able to watch it first on the cruise.
She pointed at the poster on the wall and said, ¡°Jie, let¡¯s watch a movie!¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at where she was pointing. Seeing the title of the movie, he wrung his brows and said, ¡°You want to watch this?¡±
Little Mermaid.
Isn¡¯t this the live action movie adapted from the fairy tale?
Chapter 405 - Couldn’t Bear to Wake Him Up
Chapter 405: Couldn¡¯t Bear to Wake Him Up
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°Yeah. I just wanted to watch this. I am a loyal Disney fan, have you forgotten?¡±
Yin Shaojie thought for a moment. Indeed, the wretch had always liked fairy tales and Disney princess stories. She was a little princess heavily influenced by fairy tales.
¡°Okay, we¡¯ll watch it if you like,¡± Yin Shaojie said, and he then went to buy the tickets. He even bought her popcorn and c.
As the movie was just about to start, the two quickly got into the cinema.
Perhaps it was because it was noon that the guests on the cruise had all gone to lunch, or perhaps it was because this kind of movies didn¡¯t interest them. Thus, there were very few people in the cinema.
Shortly as the opening titles were running, Yin Shaojie began to feel sleepy.
Mu Xiaoxiao nced at him, and suddenly, she reached her hand and pressed his head on her shoulder.
¡°If you don¡¯t want to watch it, then just lean on me and sleep for a while.¡±
He had been sick allst night, so he must be really tired.
Though he appeared to have gotten better from his illness when he woke up in the morning, it was impossible for his energy to recover so quickly.
Yin Shaojie gazed at her side profile, and he could not help but think of something. Could this wretch have purposely chosen toe to the cinema?
However, as he leaned on her small shoulder, his breath was filled with her youthful womanly scent. It smelled so pleasant, and it allowed him to slowly rx and close his eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows. When the full weight of him started to press down on her, she then realized she had overestimated herself.
He¡¯s so heavy!
In barely more than ten seconds, she was starting to feel like she could not hold him anymore, being on the verge of copse.
With his eyes closed, Yin Shaojie smirked.
Though he had his eyes closed, he could feel her shoulder trembling, and he could guess how she must be feeling.
This girl was so petite; how could she hold up his weight?
Yin Shaojie was silently waiting for how she would react.
Would she bear to wake him up?
Or would she keep toughing it out?
Little did Yin Shaojie expect that Mu Xiaoxiao had brains too. She saw that there was an armrest between them that could be put up.
Then, she quickly up down the armrest, and there was no longer anything separating between them.
¡°Hey, you cany down.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said softly by his ear, and with both hands, she lowered his head, allowing him to slowly slide down andy on her thighs.
Yin Shaojie shifted himself about on her thigh and found afortable position.
Mu Xiaoxiao held his head lest he fell down.
Seeing that his eyebrows were no longer tensed, she smiled and continued to watch her movie.
The story of the little mermaid should be a plot that everyone was familiar with. There was nothing surprising, but the live action was pretty good in that it allowed her to immerse herself into the movie easily.
Especially¡
Though it was the little mermaid who had to save the prince, the princess from another country had stepped in, reaping the reward that she had not sown. The prince mistakenly believed that it was the princess who had saved him, and he then married her.
On the night when they got married, the little mermaid did not wish to kill the prince as she would rather be turned into foam instead¡
Watching the scene as the little mermaid turned into foam, Mu Xiaoxiao could not help but tear up.
She had carelessly put herself into the story.
The foreign princess was An Zhixin, and Mu Xiaoxiao was the little mermaid. Seven years ago, when she was clearly the one to have performed artificial respiration on Yin Shaojie, Yin Shaojie had instead seen An Zhixin when he regained consciousness and believed her to be the one who had kissed him.
Chapter 406 - What If He Had Not Kissed Her
Chapter 406: What If He Had Not Kissed Her
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Yin Shaojie had then kept her dearly in his memory for the next seven years.
Mu Xiaoxiao could not help but think that if Yin Shaojie had not kissed her, would he have continued to be mistaken such that after he met An Zhixin again, he would then kiss her in order to confirm his feelings for her?
The mere thought of this had Mu Xiaoxiao in pain, feeling like someone was wringing her heart.
She could not restrain herself as continued to imagine: What if Yin Shaojie and An Zhixin had tried dating? Yin Shaojie might have some feelings for An Zhixin because of the kiss seven years ago. And slowly, he might really fall for her. Then they would start loving each other and get married¡
Tears fell from her watery eyes before she could stop it.
The screen was showing the scene of the prince marrying the foreign princess. They were dancing with blissful smiles, not knowing that it was the little mermaid who had given them blessings as she then turned into foam.
The next scene was showing the sisters of the little mermaid left grieving.
They cried and said, ¡°Sister, how could you be so foolish¡¡±
Under the influence of the movie¡¯s atmosphere, her tears fell faster, and she could not help but let out suppressed sobs.
Even though she knew that she was not the little mermaid and that it was all a made up story, once she entered an emotional state, it was hard for her to pull herself out from it.
Mu Xiaoxiao used her the back of her hand to wipe away the tears from her eyes, but the tears were too much, and she was afraid that they would fall onto Yin Shaojie¡¯s face and wake him. So she lifted her head to allow her tears to fall down the sides of her face.
¡°Dummy, what are you crying about?¡± a maic and deep voice suddenly came from below her.
The weight on her thigh became lighter all of a sudden.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled and looked down at Yin Shaojie.
She sniffed, still sobbing as she said, ¡°Did¡ Did I wake you?¡±
Yin Shaojie did not reply. With both hands holding her cheeks, he wiped gently wiped away her tears with his fingertips.
But her tears were like an open tap that seemed to run endlessly.
Yin Shaojie frowned and asked quizzically, ¡°How can you cry to this kind of movie?¡±
¡°That¡¯s none of your business!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pouted, and she tried to swat away his hands.
But Yin Shaojie was unmoved. He turned to look at the screen to see the scene that was currently ying.
His gaze returned to her and locked on her little face as if he was trying to figure out the reason that made the little girl cry to such an extent.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt embarrassed as he was watching her so closely and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine now.¡±
After all, she couldn¡¯t tell him that she had imagined herself as the little mermaid in the story: He would end up with An Zhixin in the end, leaving her to watch their blissfulness from the sidelines and ending up¡
Her heart ached again, and tears fell again.
Yin Shaojie sighed as his handsome face closed in, his lips pressing on her eyes, and he stuck out his tongue as he kissed away her tears.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt his gentleness.
She looked up and just happened to meet his eyes, which looked like the starry night sky.
He looked like he did not know what to do to help her, but even more so, his expression was filled with his strong passion toward her.
For a moment, Mu Xiaoxiao felt a rush of warmth over her. All the sadness that she had imagined was thrown to the wind, and all that was left was the look of him gazing back at her.

She smiled, and then with open arms, she threw herself into his embrace.
¡°Yin Shaojie¡¡±
I like you so much.
How is it that I can like you so much!
Yin Shaojie seemed responsive to it as he lowered his head to look at her little face, his hand stroking her hair, and he asked, ¡°Did you say something?¡±
He seemed to have heard more than just ¡°Yin Shaojie.¡±
In his embrace, Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head, smiling with pursed lips, her dimples showing.
¡°So secretive. Tell me, what is it that you said?¡± Yin Shaojie could not help but question her closely. He had a faint feeling that it was something very important to him, and he absolutely must know!
Mu Xiaoxiao did not answer. She stuck her face at his chest with her hands looping around his neck.
Yin Shaojie felt that she was just like a coquettish little kitty, and his heart melted.
The two continued hugging each other for some time.
Finally, Mu Xiaoxiao let go of her hand, and she lifted her head from his chest, smiling as she said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. The movie ended.¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled and said, ¡°Look at you,ughing and crying. How is it that this kind of fairy tale adapted movie can move you so easily?¡±
The little mermaid was the type of story used to cheat little girls. How could it make her cry like this? It simply bewildered him.
Mu Xiaoxiao was definitely not going to tell him what went through her mind earlier.
Now that she hade back to her senses, she also felt that she was really silly. Why would she want to fantasize herself in such a story? That was incredibly silly!
The two held hands as they walked out of the cinema.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt that her eyes were really dry. Worried that her eyes might be too red from crying, she said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°I¡¯ll go to the washroom for a bit. Wait for me here.¡±
¡°Yeah, go ahead.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao then went into the washroom. She checked herself in the mirror, and her eyes were indeed very red!
If she were to walk around like that, wouldn¡¯t it be very embarrassing?
Luckily, she had remembered; otherwise, it would have been really embarrassing.
Mu Xiaoxiao opened the tap. She used both hands to catch the water and sshed it onto her face.
After several sshes, her eyes were feeling better.
When she opened her eyes again, the person in the mirror gave her a fright.
¡°Ah¡ª¡± she screamed.
Betty was startled by her scream and retreated a step. Then, she shouted furiously, ¡°What are you screaming about!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao took a good look at her and saw that it was just Betty. Then, she stopped screaming.
Displeased, she red at Betty. ¡°Why were you scaring me, pretending to be a ghost?¡±
Hearing that, Betty retorted angrily, ¡°You¡¯re saying that I look like a ghost?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shot her a nce before facing the mirror again to turn off the tap. Then, she looked at Betty through the mirror and roasted her, saying, ¡°You didn¡¯t even make a sound. What are you if not a ghost? Moreover, your face is as white as a ghost¡¯s. Anyone would get frightened.¡±
Right. Actually, Betty was white, so her face was naturally whiter. Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao wasughing inside.
Betty was so mad that she was going to blow her top.
Just as she was thinking of how to retort, she noticed that Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes were red as if she had been crying earlier.
Betty suddenly smiled with delight, and she pretended to be surprised. ¡°Aw, were you crying? What? Did some guy dump you, so you came to hide in the washroom to cry?¡±
¡°You¡¯re the one who was dumped!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao red at her indignantly.
But Betty was pleased. She thought that Mu Xiaoxiao was trying to cover up for herself, and she rejoiced in her misfortune, saying, ¡°But what can you do? You¡¯re going to dumped soon.¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her with chilly eyes. ¡°What do you mean by that?¡±
Betty smiled, looking as if she had suddenly remembered something, and she pretended to be concerned as she said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°There is something that I don¡¯t know if I should tell you.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t tell me then.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao put on a look of indifference; it was obvious that she wouldn¡¯t be saying anything nice.
Smiling charmingly, Betty said deliberately, ¡°I think it¡¯s better that I tell you. That is, the handsome guy who was with you today asked me out. ¡±
¡°Oh?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows.
Seeing her reaction, Betty smiled even more delightedly. ¡°You don¡¯t believe me? Hey, it¡¯s no wonder since you are always so naive! Unfortunately, men are all cut from the same cloth! Once they see a beautiful girl, they be like souls that get hooked away. It¡¯s not your fault.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked speechless.
Like souls that get hooked away?
Is she talking about Yin Shaojie?
Mu Xiaoxiao really wanted to rebuke her and let her know that the man that she was speaking about was her man! And, he would definitely not get hooked away upon looking at some other girl.
It wasn¡¯t that Mu Xiaoxiao had much confidence in Yin Shaojie¡¯s male instincts.
However, she wasn¡¯t stupid. Being a young mastering from an extremely wealthy family, Yin Shaojie had met all kinds of beautiful girls ever since he was young. Though Betty was pretty, she was not pretty enough to impress him, not to mention make him like a soul that had gotten hooked away.
Such shameless words could only be spoken thanks to Betty¡¯s thick skin.
Mu Xiaoxiao pulled off the paper towel and wiped her hand. She then nced at her and said, ¡°It¡¯s better not to dream in a ce like the toilet because¡ it will be a stinky daydream.¡±
She threw the paper towel into the garbage basket, waggling her fingers at Betty in a cool manner as she said, ¡°I¡¯m leaving, goodbye!¡±
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao! You don¡¯t believe me? Fine! I will prove to you that your man¡¯s heart is with me now!¡± Betty squawked from behind her.
Mu Xiaoxiao went back to Yin Shaojie. A pair of dark eyes looked quizzically at her as if he was examining something.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Yin Shaojie asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao folded her hands at her chest and asked him, ¡°What were you talking about to Betty in the morning?¡±
He asked Betty out?
Although she did not believe in what Betty had said, she remembered that Yin Shaojie had said that he would like to punk Betty, so it was no guarantee that he didn¡¯t actually ask Betty out.
Yin Shaojie nced in the direction of the bathroom, and he had happened to see Betty walking out from there.
Noticing his gaze, Betty returned him a lovely smile, and she had even pouted and sent him a flying kiss.
When Mu Xiaoxiao turned back to catch sight of that scene, her little face grew dark.
Yin Shaojie put his arm around Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s shoulders. As if he had figured something out, he smiled and said jokingly, ¡°Were you fighting with her in there? Did you win?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nudged him with her elbow. ¡°Duh! I won, of course! Don¡¯t change the subject. Tell me! What were you talking about with her earlier? Did you ask her out?¡±
¡°Ask her out? No, it was just a simple chat. Actually, she was the one who was talking mostly, and I was just pretending to go along with her.¡± Yin Shaojie expressed his innocence.
Staring at her frowning face, Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes and said with displeasure in his tone, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t believe me?¡±
If she chose to believe that woman instead of him, then she really deserved a good spanking!

¡°I didn¡¯t say that I don¡¯t trust you.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao leaned into his embrace and pouted as she looked in the direction that Betty had disappeared to. ¡°Tell me then; what n do you have up your sleeve? How are you going to punish her?¡± she asked, displeased.
Yin Shaojie stroked the hair at her temples and said, ¡°I wasn¡¯t nning to keep this from you. Let¡¯s find a ce to talk.¡±
He held her hand, and they left the cinema.
¡ª¡ª¡ª-
At the counter of a luxury brand of a shopping mall on the cruise ship.
When Yin Shaojie¡¯s tall silhouette appeared, Betty smiled beautifully and raised her hand to wave him over.
¡°Why are you so slow? I waited for you for so long, and I thought that the waiter hadn¡¯t conveyed my message to you.¡± Betty walked towards him, and her arms snaked around his.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s looked elegant and calm as he let her hug her arm.
¡°I apologize for the wait,¡± his maic voice said.
Upon hearing his mesmerizing, subwoofer-like voice, her eyes zed over with infatuation. ¡°It wasn¡¯t long. It¡¯ll never be long if you¡¯re the one I¡¯m waiting for.¡±
¡°What are you looking at?¡± Yin Shaojie followed her to the counter.
There were a few jewelry cases on the ss counter, and in them wererge diamond nes.
The shop assistant smiled amodatingly. ¡°Miss Betty would like to pick out a new ne for tonight¡¯s banquet.¡±
Betty asked him deliberately, ¡°You¡¯re going to tonight¡¯s banquet, right? Do you already have a partner?¡±
She ogled seductively at Yin Shaojie as she said this.
Yin Shaojie smiled lightly and replied as she wished, ¡°Not yet; how about you? Do you have a partner already? If not¡¡±
Betty was delighted as though she had been waiting for him to reply like this.
Thus, she nodded immediately. ¡°No, no. How could I already have a partner? Say, don¡¯t you think we¡¯re really fated? It¡¯s just as well that I don¡¯t have a partner, and neither do you. How about¡¡±
She pretended to look shy and stopped talking at the end.
Of course, Yin Shaojie amodated her desires and continued, ¡°Then, are you willing to be my partner?¡±
¡°I¡¯m very honored,¡± Betty said as she looked into his eyes and smiled.
Yin Shaojie said generously, ¡°Pick out any ne then. Take it as my gift to you.¡±
¡°Oh, how could I?¡±
Even though she uttered this, Betty had already turned her head around and was already picking out her ne impatiently, and she was even picking out those with the most gigantic diamonds.
Thus, she failed to notice Yin Shaojie¡¯s scheming smile behind her
Soon, Betty picked out a few nes that she liked. However, the diamonds from this brand was too expensive.
Even though she was a rich missy and also William¡¯s cousin, she didn¡¯t have that much money.
Whenpared to other people, Betty¡¯s allowance was considered really big, at about tens of thousands of American dors.
However, her expenditure was huge, and she always had to go for the big brands. Thus, her monthly allowance was always not enough.
She actually had a lot of boyfriends and was always scheming about how to get them to buy all kinds of things for her.
However, a normal diamond ne from this brand cost hundreds of thousands. Moreover, she liked a few of them, and with each costing hundreds of thousands, she obviously couldn¡¯t afford them!
Betty was extremely excited, for she had never imagined Yin Shaojie to be so rich and generous.

At the same time, she was jealous of Mu Xiaoxiao. How did she find such a good man!
However¡ the corner of Betty¡¯s lips curled up. Such a good man was about to be hers soon.
Just as Betty was reveling in delight, a petite silhouette entered the shop. ¡°I want all of these nes!¡± the silhouette said tyrannically.
Betty was shocked. She focused on the silhouette and realized that it was Mu Xiaoxiao!
¡°You ¡ª I saw these first! How can you be so shameless!¡± She was so angry that she started scolding her.
Mu Xiaoxiao smirked. ¡°Oh, sorry, I bought these first, so they¡¯re now mine.¡±
She took out a card with a natural motion as she said this.
Betty saw the ck card in her hand. That card was the limited edition ck card that only the most elite of the rich had. She turned mad with jealousy at that instant.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao! Where did you steal that card from?¡±
It couldn¡¯t be!
How could Mu Xiaoxiao own such a ck card!
Mu Xiaoxiao red at her. ¡°Why should you care? It isn¡¯t yours anyway.¡±
The shop assistant was a practical person. Upon seeing the limited edition ck card in her hand, her attitude immediately became respectful and obsequious.
¡°Miss, I¡¯ll wrap them up for you immediately!¡±
Betty roared at the shop assistant angrily, ¡°HEY! I saw these first!¡±
Betty would let it go if she didn¡¯t have to money to buy it, but now that there was someone who was going to buy it for her, those were hers now from her point of view. Thus, now that she had been thwarted by Mu Xiaoxiao, she was even more furious.
The shop assistant looked at her apologetically. ¡°Sorry, Miss Betty. Thisdy has already purchased the nes. How about¡ choosing other nes? There are other designs too, and they are also part of thetest collection.¡±
Betty had originally wanted to plead with Yin Shaojie coyly. However, when she turned to look at him, he had already somehow moved to be beside Mu Xiaoxiao. The pair didn¡¯t speak, but they looked like they were speaking romantically to each other with their eyes.
She stomped her feet in anger. ¡°Young Master Jie, didn¡¯t you say that you were going to gift me some nes? Now what? They¡¯ve been bought by her,¡± she said in a cutesy voice.
¡°Pick out something else then.¡± This time, Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice sounded a little cold.
Betty felt a little ufortable.
She noticed how soft and tender his gaze was when he looked at Mu Xiaoxiao. Why did it change immediately when it was turned to her?
Wasn¡¯t he so gentle with her earlier?
Could it be because Mu Xiaoxiao was here, making him scared that she would be angry?
Betty wanted to reach out and hug his arm to unt to Mu Xiaoxiao.
Unexpectedly, when her arm shot out, Mu Xiaoxiao shot a fierce nce at her. ¡°Betty, what are you trying to do?¡±
Betty lifted her chin and said in a proud manner, ¡°This is none of your business. What do you need so many nes for? Young Master Jie has already asked me to be his partner for tonight. Take the nes and stare at them in your room!¡±
¡°Oh?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s gaze shifted to Yin Shaojie. ¡°Is that so?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked into her eyes, his smile tender as he replied, ¡°Of course not.¡±
Betty¡¯s face turned to stone.
H-He had obviously said earlier that¡
Mu Xiaoxiao asked Yin Shaojie again, ¡°Then do I have a use for these nes that I bought?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes were still brimming with tenderness as he said adoringly, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if they¡¯re useless. You can wear them or y with them; whatever suits you fancy.¡±
Betty¡¯s face was a little pale.
¡°You¡¡±
What did he mean by this?
Could it be¡
Betty¡¯s gazended on the ck card in her hand.

Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to know what she was thinking. She smiled a bright smile purposely and replied, ¡°Betty, didn¡¯t you ask where I got this card from? He gave it to me.¡±
Betty was stunned. ¡°You¡¡±
What was your rtionship?
If she was the subject of his pursuit and they were just girlfriend and boyfriend, how could he give her such an important ck card to use?
Mu Xiaoxiao shot a look at Yin Shaojie. Using a tone like that of a Mistress, shemanded, ¡°You tell her.¡±
Yin Shaojie looped an arm around Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s shoulders intimately. His lips curled up, smiling sexily as he said to Betty, ¡°She¡¯s my fianc¨¦e.¡±
Betty¡¯s face turned green instantly.
Her eyes widened so much that they looked like they were going to fall out.
Mu Xiaoxiao wasughing internally. She almost wanted to take out her phone and take a photo of Betty¡¯s pathetic expression.
Betty was still in denial. Gritting her teeth, she said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°Why were you so good to me then! Y-You like me, don¡¯t you? If I told you that I was willing to let you be my boyfriend so long as you called off your engagement with her, would you be willing to?¡±
Yin Shaojieughed mockingly as he looked at her. ¡°NO!¡± he said directly.
Betty staggered and almost fell. She looked at him with hatred.
She understood that she had been had by the both of them!
Yin Shaojie pretended to realize something. The corner of his lips curled up in mockery as he said, ¡°I think you¡¯re mistaken. There are many like you who have no sense of shame and throw themselves at me. I have no interest in you at all, and I will never do anything to betray my fianc¨¦e. Save your vixen behavior!¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t!¡± Betty denied loudly.
However, it was toote. Yin Shaojie¡¯s words were really loud, and with such a situation, Betty was the third party in the eyes of the crowd!
In addition, many here knew Betty¡¯s identity. Thus, Betty¡¯s actions were despised and looked at contemptuously by the crowd.
The third party was someone people called out for others to beat up whether they were in China or America.
Also, the pair was not just girlfriend and boyfriend. They had already been engaged, which was akin to marriage overseas. Thus, Betty¡¯s reputation was even more tarnished now.
¡°I can¡¯t believe that Betty¡¯s actually the third party. This is too scandalous.¡±
¡°How is this surprising? Look at her vixen-like looks. She¡¯s the slutty type that¡¯s specially used to seducing men.
¡°I¡¯ve heard that she¡¯s very promiscuous and is dating several guys at once.¡±
¡°Could she have AIDS then? We should keep our distance next time!¡±
Upon hearing the crowd around her whispering and not even bothering to hide their mockery, Betty was so upset that her face turned pale. She pushed past everyone hastily and dashed out.
Mu Xiaoxiao was enjoying this sight with her arms crossed, happiness on her face.
¡°There¡¯s something even more interesting still,¡± Yin Shaojie suddenly said as he looped an arm over her and followed Betty.
¡°There¡¯s more?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was curious.
On the other side, Betty was rushing out of the shopping center, trying to return to her room. Just as she walked to the end of a hallway, a basin of something suddenly spilled down on her, causing her to be soaked from head to toe.
¡°Ah ¡ª ¡± The people beside her screamed as they tried to avoid it.
Mu Xiaoxiao took in Betty¡¯s state quickly. She was momentarily stunned, but the smile on her face grew wider.
¡°My goodness!¡± She put her hand over her mouth in disbelief and hurriedly took a few steps back.

In another moment, a pungent stench wafted over.
People who were still slow on the uptake could also smell the odor and looked in Betty¡¯s direction.
Betty looked as though she was in a stop-motion movie, with her hands outspread and held up in a daze.
She was drenched in urine, and it dyed her in that color.
She finally came back to her senses after a few seconds and roared deafeningly, ¡°AH ¡ª¡±
She then ran off.
However, because the floor was still wet with urine, she fell to the ground pathetically.
However, Betty couldn¡¯t care about it. She quickly crawled up and dashed off swiftly.
¡°Hahahahaha¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiaoughed till her sides split as she held on to Yin Shaojie.
And of course, the people who were present allughed.
Also, all of them wereughing dramatically. Thus,pared to them, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯sughter wasn¡¯t that dramatic.
¡°Happy?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s maic voice rang beside her ear.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she nodded. ¡°I¡¯m happy! Super happy!¡±
Really, she had never seen Betty look so pathetic since meeting her for the first time.
Mu Xiaoxiao said a little regretfully, ¡°If only I could¡¯ve recorded it and sent it to my friends. When they see Betty in such a state, they are going to die ofughter too!¡±
Betty did not have a good reputation in school, so there were a lot of people who didn¡¯t like her, especially Xiaoxiao¡¯s friends. However, it was only because of William that they didn¡¯t get back at Betty.
Yin Shaojie snapped his fingers. A person walked out from a corner and proffered a mini video camera with both hands.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. ¡°Could it be that¡ you recorded it?¡±
Yin Shaojie ced the camera into her hand. ¡°It smells in here. Let¡¯s watch it when we get back.¡±
He looped an arm around her and led her back.
¡
Night fell.
Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to leave the cruise once she had dinner with William.
However, William waste and looked like he had hurried here. He apologized when he sat down.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at his frowning face and asked, ¡°Is it because the Betty incident¡ troubled you in some way?¡±
William lifted his gaze and looked at her. He smiled and shook his head. ¡°No, I don¡¯t care about what happened to Betty. She¡¯s got an attitude problem and getting this done to her is just her desserts.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had never imagined that he would criticize his cousin like this, and she didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry.
However, upon knowing that he didn¡¯t me her for anything, Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little more rxed.
¡°But she¡¯s still your cousin. Wouldn¡¯t it be detrimental to your family¡¯s reputation if she gets into such a scandal?¡±
William replied, ¡°How would that be? She¡¯s only my cousin, just like you¡¯ve mentioned. I can¡¯t control what she does, and because that was the product of her own actions, she should bear it herself.¡±
There were many discerning people in elite society, and everyone knew what kind of person Betty was.
¡°Actually, your punishment was good. It¡¯s akin to helping her family educate her to observe propriety,¡± William said nonchntly.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°I hope she learns how to respect people in the future. If not, she may even suffer a worse fate if the next person she disrespects is not me.¡±
Chinese people were ubiquitous in all corners of the. If Betty didn¡¯t learn to filter her words, she would get into a big scrape sooner orter.
Upon thinking about how she was about to leave already, Mu Xiaoxiao felt really grateful to William. Thus, when she saw how deeply he was frowning, she felt a little worried.
Thus, she asked, ¡°It¡¯s rare to see you frown. Are you troubled by a difficult problem?¡±

William sighed and crossed his hands under his chin.
He looked at her and chuckled bitterly. ¡°I¡¯ve got something I need your help with,¡± he said.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was a little puzzled. William was a person she thought as almost omnipotent. How could he have something that he needed her help with? It should be something really difficult then!
No matter what, however, since William had been so nice to her and helped her so much, she would definitely agree to help him in whatever he requested, no matter its difficulty.
William shook his head helplessly. ¡°Annie¡ seems to have gone to China to look for you,¡± he said.
¡°Really?!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao eximed and her eyes widened in surprise.
She asked worriedly, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Are you sure? W-Why¡ did she go to China to look for me?¡±
William nodded as he said, ¡°It¡¯s true. Annie already felt like she couldn¡¯t let you go when you went back to China previously. Also, she likes China a lot and wanted to go over for fun. However, I¡¯ve been busy, so I wasn¡¯t able to take her there. That¡¯s why she ran away stubbornly two days ago without telling me or anyone.¡±
William rubbed his forehead as he spoke of his sister. He looked like he was at his wits end with her, but his gaze was still tender.
Mu Xiaoxiao was of course aware of how much William loved Annie. Annie could be considered the precious baby of their family.
Now that Annie was missing after running off to a foreign country, it was hard for William not to worry about her.
However, William wasn¡¯t familiar with China. Moreover, China was a huge ce, and trying to find a person there was akin to looking for a needle in a haystack.
No matter how influential William¡¯s family was in America, his family¡¯s influence wouldn¡¯t be able to help them in China.
Thus, he could only turn to Mu Xiaoxiao for help.
William said, ¡°Luckily, she¡¯s still got some sense, and she¡¯s been texting me these two days to tell me that she¡¯s safe. However, today¡ it¡¯s already sote, but I haven¡¯t received any message from her.
Mu Xiaoxiao hurried tofort him. ¡°It might be because of the difference in time zones. It¡¯s still morning in China, so she might still be asleep. But don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m going back to China immediately and will track her down ASAP.¡±
¡°Okay, I¡¯ll leave it to you then.¡±
After the dinner, Yin Shaojie ordered for the ne to be prepared.
They were going to leave the cruise ship and return to the Mu residence.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at William as she stood outside of the ne¡¯snding pad. She walked over to hug him, and she said softly, ¡°Thank you, William.¡±
William returned her hug and patted her on the back. ¡°After you get back to China, be more careful. Don¡¯t let your man lead you by your nose all the time.¡±
¡°Since when has that happened? It¡¯s always been me who leads him by his nose,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said proudly as she lifted her chin.
William smiled as he pointed to the hickeys on her chest and neck.
¡°Haven¡¯t you noticed? You¡¯ve been wearing this ring of hickeys around all day long.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked and touched her neck. ¡°Hickeys? What hickeys?¡±
She immediately understood from William¡¯s suggestive gaze and remembered how she had woken up to see Yin Shaojie sucking at her neck in the morning.
¡°Yin Shaojie, you jerk!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao walked over angrily, wanting to hit Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie looked over at William and pulled her close with one long arm before leaning downwards and sealing her lips with his.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned.
Yin Shaojie then released her. He was smiling merrily as he said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, wifey. We¡¯re going home.¡±

The pair settled themselves on the helicopter. Its des spun faster and faster, causing strong gusts in the surroundings.
The helicopter then flew up slowly.
Behind the window, Mu Xiaoxiao was waving to William non-stop. It was only when the helicopter was high in the sky that she finally retracted her hand reluctantly.
Yin Shaojie looked at her little face and asked jealously, ¡°Can¡¯t bear to part with him that much?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t realize his displeasure and nodded. ¡°Yeah¡ I really can¡¯t bear to part with him.¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s forehead twitched.
Couldn¡¯t she look at his face to see how he was feeling?
Just then, a helicopter flew towards them.
The nes flew past each other.
Yin Shaojie nced at it inadvertently and noticed that there was a man in the helicopter. He looked powerful and as deep and silent as the lord of darkness.
Just as he was eying the man up and trying to determine what his status was, the little girl beside him eximed, ¡°Ah! It¡¯s Reiter!¡±
¡°You know him?¡± Yin Shaojie turned to look at her and asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was practically stuck onto the window pane, her gaze following the helicopter¡¯s flight.
It was obvious that the helicopter was flying towards the cruise.
Yin Shaojie frowned. ¡°Is he your friend too?¡±
Why did she have so many guy friends in America?
And also, they were all influential and powerful people.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned to look at him. She shook her head once before nodding again as though she wasn¡¯t sure.
Yin Shaojie asked her directly, ¡°Who is he, exactly?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pointed in the direction of that ne, and she blinked as she said, ¡°He¡¯s William¡¯s boyfriend.¡±
Yin Shaojie was speechless.
He couldn¡¯t express how he was feeling then.
So William¡¯s¡ love interest was actually a man?
Yin Shaojie instantly felt that all the jealousy from before had been in vain!
He muttered, ¡°No wonder you¡¯re such good friends with him¡¡±
Now that he thought about it, William didn¡¯t have any romantic behavior towards Xiaoxiao while interacting with her. When he gazed at Xiaoxiao, it was with the eyes of looking at a sister ¡ª there was only a sibling tenderness and no romantic adoration.
¡°What did you say?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao blinked and asked curiously.
Because the propeller was noisy, she couldn¡¯t hear what he had said.
Yin Shaojieughed and pulled her into his embrace. ¡°Nothing.¡±
¡°What did you say?¡±
¡°I said you¡¯re stupid.¡±
¡°Hey! I told you not to call me stupid, you jerk!¡±
The helicopter flew into the night sky. There were many stars above their heads, and they looked extremely beautiful.
¡
They flew directly to the elite neighborhood where the Mu¡¯s vi was andnded on anding pad.
Yin Shaojie carried Mu Xiaoxiao down the ne.
Because they had flown over here immediately without taking a break, the flight had been a little long, and the girl had dozed off.
The chauffeur who had already been waiting came up to them swiftly and greeted respectfully, ¡°Young Master Jie.¡±
The chauffeur then ran to where the car door was and opened it for him.
Yin Shaojie looked at the asphalt road ahead of them and asked the driver, ¡°How long does it take to get to the Mu¡¯s residence?¡±
The chauffeur was stunned. ¡°Ah? Driving takes up¡¡±
Yin Shaojie rephrased his words. ¡°How long to walk,¡± he asked.
The chauffeur froze for a moment before eying Mu Xiaoxiao on his back. He answered swiftly, ¡°To walk takes about¡ twenty minutes.¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded at him and said, ¡°Follow behind us but don¡¯t have to get too close. Also, don¡¯t make any noise.¡±

The chauffeur was speechless.
How was it possible not to make any noise when driving?
But he knew that he could only obey Young Master Jie¡¯s orders and not have any objections.
Thus, Yin Shaojie carried Mu Xiaoxiao, who was sound asleep, and he slowly walked toward Mu residence.
The girl seemed totally oblivious. Her face was pressedfortably against his warm back as she smacked her lips, sleeping very soundly.
Walking under the moonlight, they finally returned to the Mu residence.
Since it was not toote yet, there were still helpers at the door. When the helpers saw them, they quickly called for Butler Qi.
Butler Qi stood at the door. He looked at Yin Shaojie, startled. Then upon seeing the person on his back, he said, ¡°Miss?¡±
Yin Shaojie said to him with a smile, ¡°Uncle Qi, we got together again.¡±
¡
In the room.
Yin Shaojie gently ced the sleeping Mu Xiaoxiao on the bed, and he then covered her nicely with a nket.
He simply sat on the carpet, leaning forward on the bed from the side as he stared at her.
At this time, Mu Zhengbo walked in, looking dignified as he made a gesture to him.
Yin Shaojie quickly stood up, nodded to him, and then followed him out.
¡°Father-inw.¡± Yin Shaojie called Mu Zhengbo.
Mu Zhengbo nced at him and said, ¡°Take back what you just said. Xiaoxiao told me earlier that she wanted to cancel her engagement with you¡¡±
Yin Shaojie said anxiously, ¡°I will not cancel my engagement with Xiaoxiao! You can see that we have already resolved the misunderstanding between us. There¡¯s no problem now.¡±
Mu Zhengbo¡¯s expression was still cold as he said in a dignified manner, ¡°But what about the next time? How can you guarantee that you won¡¯t break her heart again?¡±
Yin Shaojie knitted his eyebrows, looking resolute as he said to him, ¡°Father-inw, I am serious about Xiaoxiao. I will not break her heart again.¡±
ring at him for a long while, Mu Zhengbo finally nodded. ¡°Okay, I will give you another chance.¡±
Just as Yin Shaojie was about to let out a breath of relief, he heard Mu Zhengbo say, ¡°Youe with me.¡±
Mu Zhengbo took Yin Shaojie into a room.
This room was veryrge, and there was some martial arts equipment by the sides. Then, about a dozen capable men came and surrounded Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression turned serious, and he understood what it meant.
This was a test from Mu Zhengbo to see if he had the capabilities to protect Xiaoxiao.
Yin Shaojie smiled very confidently, and he inserted one hand into his trouser pocket, taking a cool side stance as he said to the bunch of men, ¡°Come at me!¡±
The men came all together in a wave to attack him.
Just from looking at their expressions, one could tell that these guys were experts.
However, Yin Shaojie did not even have a shred of fear. He responded confidently, his form like a demon¡¯s.
Then, in less than twenty minutes, he defeated all of them.
Mu Zhengbo was astonished. For his age, he had such incredibly fearsome skills¡
Then, he took Yin Shaojie to drink some wine and chat about some things regarding Xiaoxiao.
When it was veryte, Mu Zhengbo waved his hand and said to him, ¡°Okay, now go and get some rest.¡±
Yin Shaohao bid him good night, and he followed behind the helper as she took him to the guest room.
Originally, Yin Shaojie had wanted to go to Xiaoxiao¡¯s room, but then he thought that he should leave a good impression on his father-inw, so he obediently stayed in the guest room.
Just after the helper left, someone came in.
When Yin Shaojie turned back, he saw a woman with a hot body smiling enchantingly at him while taking her clothes off.
Suddenly, Yin Shaojie felt a strange fiery sensation surging through his body.
Dammit!
He had been drugged!
This time, was his father-inw trying to test his ability to resist temptation, or was he trying to test how resolute his love was for Xiaoxiao?

Chapter 416: You Can Do Whatever You Want to Me

The woman before her was especially foxy. Her hair was wavy and brown, and her eyes were light colored. Most men would probably be charmed by her.
Moreover, she seemed to know the ways of seduction well.
She didn¡¯t take off all of her clothes at once. Instead, she first took off herce shawl, revealing her ck lingerie that contrasted against her white skin, making her all the more alluring.
If it were just any other man, they probably would have already thrown themselves at her, not being able to hold themselves back.
However, Yin Shaojie was unmoved. He had only shot a nce at the woman, an impassioned nce.
Even if she was very alluring, her charm seemed to have no effect on him.
The woman was surprised. How could it be?
She had never failed to seduce any man!
When she first entered through the door, the youth before her was so handsome, radiating the aura of a king, making her mesmerized. His textured ck hair was soft yet dashing and charming, bringing out the wildness in his personality.
It was this wildness that indicated to women the domineering alpha qualities in him. To women, those were fatally attractive traits.
With the thought of being able to have sex with such a premium quality handsome man, the woman¡¯s eyes burned with greater passion as if she could not wait to immediately devour him.
Her lips parted slightly, and she said in an enchanting voice, ¡°Master, I am yours tonight. You can do to me whatever you want.¡±
She walked to his side and was going to lean onto him.
But Yin Shaojie moved to the side, passing her as he strode out the door.
Though he knew that if Mu Zhengbo was going to trick him like this, it was unlikely that he would allow him to escape. But that did not stop him from testing it out.
He walked to the door and pulled on the handle.
Just as he expected, the door was locked.
He then walked to the window. It was even more ridiculous. They were irreversibly sealed. He had left him with absolutely no chance of escape.
Seeing as he was ignoring her, the woman pouted resentfully, and she stubbornly followed him and said, ¡°Master, why won¡¯t you look at me? Am I not beautiful?¡±
She was very confident of herself, with many men in the past who had fallen prey to her.
And there were countless men who were crazy over her.
The woman had enough confidence that as long as Yin Shaojie did it with her once, he would be addicted to her skills in bed.
She walked up to Yin Shaojie, forcing him to look at her.
Then, she bit her bottom lip seductively, her fingers caressing her face and her bosom, attempting to rouse his lust for her.
Resisting the strong effect of the drug, he forced out the words through his gritted teeth, ¡°Go away!¡±
Though he was feeling hot from the effects of the drug, his expression was cold, and his mind was clear. Even if he was staring at the woman, his heart was unmoved.
He knew who he wanted.
Even if an extraordinarily beautiful woman was standing before him, he would be unmoved.
The drug could affect his body.
But it could not move him.
Whatever posture that the women put herself in before him was as good as a dead object in his eyes.
As the woman twisted her hips flexibly like a snake and stroked her hair coquettishly, Yin Shaojie felt more disgusted instead.
Yin Shaojie took a nce at the erotic ckce see-through lingerie that she was wearing.
It made him furrow his brows.
She can really pick!
The woman just had to wear the ckce lingerie that he had always wished for Xiaoxiao to wear.

Such alluring attire, yet it could not even rouse his interest.
Yin Shaojie looked around the room.
He already knew that it was impossible to get out of there.
Mu Zhengbo had arranged it all in order to test his resistance to temptation.
Mu Zhengbo would not let him out until morning.
Yin Shaojie suddenly gritted his teeth as cold sweat formed on his forehead.
The fire that was causing turmoil in him was getting more intense. It increased the desires of the flesh, and the body was sending signals to his brain, rousing his cravings.
Seeing him like this, the woman¡¯s smile deepened as she walked up before him and began to slowly take off thest few pieces of her clothing.
Her well-developed bosom and jutting butt were slowly revealed to him¡
Yin Shaojie¡¯s brows were tightly knitted. Then, he snickered, and he lunged himself at the woman.
The woman beamed with delight, thinking that he finally could not resist her any longer.
¡°Master¡ Ah!¡±
Just as her hand was going to touch him, Yin Shaojie gave her a karate chop that put her unconscious.
He was even reluctant to move her since he didn¡¯t want to touch her.
Yin Shaojie walked to the window and pulled down the curtain, and he threw it over the woman to cover her unsightly look.
What he couldn¡¯t see couldn¡¯t hurt him.
Every breath that he breathed out seemed to be burning hot.
Yin Shaojie threw himself onto the bed. He closed his eyes trying to make himself just sleep through it.
But the drug was not so easily suppressed, and its effects instead became stronger and stronger.
Yin Shaojie pressed his head into the pillow in agony, letting out a deep howl akin to that of a lion.
Dammit!
Dammit!
Mu Xiaoxiao floated uncontrobly into his mind.
Her beautiful physique, her slender waist, and her well-developed soft bosom¡
Though Mu Xiaoxiao was petite, the proportions of her figure were perfect.
She could be said to have an angel¡¯s face and a devil¡¯s figure.
Yin Shaojie remembered that every time he hugged her, she would always seem cute and helpless as she cuddled in his embrace. But her body was soft and smelled nice. It felt especially good hugging her, and it made it hard for him to let go.
Just the thought of having her pressing against his body, so cute, pleasant-smelling, and soft, being able to do anything he wanted to her¡
The part of him in his lower body was getting harder until it even felt painful.
Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao¡
I want her so badly! I want so badly to eat her up!
Yin Shaojie was slowly losing the self-control that he was supposed to have.
The desire was rampaging in him, almost breaking out of him.
In his mind, he portrayed Mu Xiaoxiao in an alluring posture, and he then reached his hand into his trousers¡
He fantasized the tasty look of Xiaoxiao as he ced her on the bed to strike an embarrassing posture.
Then he lowered his head and kissed her starting from her delicate corbone and going downward.
He wanted to kiss every part of her body.
Then he wanted to wrap her fair and slender legs around his waist as he dug himself in between her legs, pressing close to her with not a single gap between them.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s fantasy was getting more and more inappropriate for children to see.
And the look of him grew more and more excited.
Finally, he shouted, releasing it all out.
Yin Shaojie seemed as if he just came out from the water, his whole body drenched in sweat. Even his clothes were wet.
He grabbed a pillow and hugged it.
Imagining the pillow to be Xiaoxiao, he stroked his face against it. As his earlier desires were relieved, his voice was low and husky as he said, ¡°Xiaoxiao¡¡±
How great it would be if you were here with me.

The next morning.
Yin Shaojie, who was lying on the bed, heard some movements and suddenly woke up.
He looked down from the bed and saw that the helper was carrying the woman out.
Mu Zhengbo nced at the woman and turned his eyes back to Yin Shaojie. He snorted and said, ¡°That was pretty heavy-handed.¡±
Seeing that the woman was still in aa after the whole night, it was apparent that Yin Shaojie had dealt her quite a heavy handst night.
Given Yin Shaojie¡¯s skill, he should have already held back his force.
Otherwise¡
Mu Zhengbo¡¯s eyes were filled with admiration of how Yin Shaojie could just take away the woman¡¯s life in a single stroke.
He looked at Yin Shaojie and said, ¡°Since you¡¯re up,e and have breakfast then. Xiaoxiao should be waking up soon.¡±
¡°Yes, Father-inw.¡± Yin Shaojie shouted confidently this time as he sat up from the bed, smiling proudly.
Although his shirt was messy, it contrasted with his wild and imposing manner, his every gesture like that of a king.
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Zhengbo wore a smile, actually responding to him before he turned around and walked out.
Behind him, Butler Qi was all smiles as he looked at Yin Shaojie and said, ¡°Young Master Jie, your toiletries have already been prepared. Is there anything else I can do for you?¡±
Yin Shaojie lifted the nket and got down off the bed.
He looked down at his clothes that were practically wrinkled in a bunch. It reminded him of what happenedst night, and it was a pain in his sight.
¡°Uncle Qi, help me find some clothes to change out of, thank you.¡±
Butler Qi gestured to the helper behind him, and he said with a smile, ¡°Master had already informed us to prepare them.¡±
The two helpers came over. One of them carrying his clothes and the other was carrying his new toiletries.
Without waiting for Yin Shaojie to ask, Butler Qi said, ¡°You can use the toilet in the next room.¡±
¡°Well, thank you Uncle Qi,¡± Yin Shaojie said as he nodded before heading out.
The two helpers then carried the things as they followed him.
About ten minutester.
Yin Shaojie had put on clean clothes, and he came out from the guest room.
A helper waited at the door and bowed reverently, and he said, ¡°Young Master Jie, this way please.¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at the helper and asked, ¡°Where is Miss? Has she woken up?¡±
The helper smiled and answered, ¡°Miss is still not awake, but Lisa has already gone to wait for her at her door.¡±
¡°Where is Miss¡¯s room?¡± Yin Shaojie did not walk toward the stairs but walked further down instead.
He guessed that the Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s room should be there.
The helper was startled. ¡°Miss¡¯s room¡ is just after a right turn in front.¡±
¡°Okay, you go can go back to your work. You don¡¯t need to follow me.¡±
Sure enough, it was just as he had guessed.
Yin Shaojie smiled delightfully, feeling as if he had an inexplicable telepathic connection with Mu Xiaoxiao. It was as if he would be able to find Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s room even if the helper did not tell him.
Although Yin Shaojie had been to Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s roomst night, the Mu¡¯s vi was just too big and was just like a castle. Moreover, he had been taken consecutively to a few roomsst night where the average person would have already gotten lost.
The reason why the butler had helpers waiting on Yin Shaojie was to show him the way around.
The helper was hesitant. After all, this was the order given to him by the butler. However, given the stern and imposing look of Yin Shaojie, the helper didn¡¯t dare to continue following him.
Yin Shaojie continued walking for a while before sessfully finding Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s room.
At the door was standing the helper who had brought clothes for her. Clearly, it was Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s personal helper.
Seeing the appearance of the handsome Yin Shaojie, Lisa was startled for a moment.

Coming back to her senses, she bent down ceremonially and said, ¡°Young Master Jie, good morning. Miss is still sleeping¡¡±
Before she could finish speaking, Yin Shaojie had walked past her and pushed the door open.
¡°Young Master Jie!¡± Lisa called out anxiously, attempting to stop him from entering.
Yin Shaojie ced his slender finger on his sexy thin lips and made a shush gesture to her. He then smiled and said in a maic voice, ¡°Don¡¯te in.¡±
Lisa was rooted to the ground, startled. The moment felt as if he had cast a spell on her with his voice, and she could only stare nkly at his handsome face.
The tall Yin Shaojie went straight toward the bedside.
On therge pink bedid a sleeping beauty, still sleeping soundly.
Yin Shaojie was leaned forward against the side of the bed, and his dark eyes were fixated upon Mu Xiaoxiao.
He remembered the torment he had sufferedst night, and his eyes seemed to sh with a demonic light.
He reached out his hand and squeezed Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s nose, and he groaned like a tyrant. ¡°Little pig, you sure are sleeping well. I was tormented to deathst night.¡±
¡°Yeah¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao could not stand the disturbance, as she wrinkled her nose and waved her hand, attempting to swat away the fly that was disturbing her sleep.
Yin Shaojie suddenly acted with yfulness as he sat up on the bed, both hands pinching her cheeks on both sides.
The delicate and tender cheeks felt like jelly, soft and bouncy.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt ufortable, and she was finally awakened.
Her long, curled eyshes fluttered like a butterfly wing ready to fly.
When Mu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, something covered her mouth before she had the chance to make out what was happening.
¡°Hey¡ª¡±
She was shocked, and her eyes widened instantly.
Right in front of her was the close up of Yin Shaohao handsome face. Under the clear sunlight, his devilish handsomeness was like that of the god Apollo, so good-looking that it could take one¡¯s breath away.
She then calmed down from the shock.
What a bastard! Why would he scare her so early in the morning!
Mu Xiaoxiao raised her little hand and beat on his chest.
Seeing that Mu Xiaoxiao was awake, Yin Shaojie smiled naughtily.
He slightly rxed the pinching on her cheeks, loosening her little mouth, and in a low voice, hemanded her, ¡°Xiaoxiao, touch me.¡±

Chapter 420: She Didn¡¯t Know What to Do with Him
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao snapped out of it, but she then found herself lost in his eyes.
His eyes were as deep as the night sky, and it was easy to be absorbed upon looking into them.
Her face had be slightly hot, perhaps because she could sense his affection toward her.
Being so close to him, her breath was filled with his manly scent that wouldn¡¯t dissipate.
This guy¡ So early in the morning¡
She didn¡¯t know what to do with him.
Knowing him for so many years ever since she was young, she had never known that he was this kind of a person.
However, she felt reluctant to disappoint the anticipation in him that could be seen from his eyes. Thus, despite her bashfulness, she did not retract her hand, but she hugged him tightly instead.
She nervously opened her small palm and ced it on his chest. Beneath her palm, his heart was beating rapidly and strongly.
The frequency of his heartbeat was like the beating of the drum.
Yin Shaojie felt that no matter how near to him she was, it wouldn¡¯t be enough for him.
Although Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s movements were very awkward, Yin Shaojie was feeling her in his embrace, and her skin was exquisite and fragrant. It was too wonderful for words, and he became absorbed in it.
His desire was like arge hole. It could even bepared to a ck hole that couldn¡¯t be filled. And he couldn¡¯t have enough of it.
The effects of the drug fromst night had clearly gone away. But in that moment, he was feeling a fire in his body just like how he had feltst night, and he desperately needed her to quench that fire in him.
Lisa stood at the door, her body rigid and her face turning red as she watched the situation inside.
She couldn¡¯t to go in and stop them, nor could she just stand and do nothing. It was truly awkward.
But was she just going to continue watching like this?
Well, of course, she couldn¡¯t do that too.
Just at this moment, Yin Shaojie seemed to have be oblivious to the people around him. Not only did he not realize that Lisa was present, but he had gotten even hornier.
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him and said, ¡°Hey, Jie¡ What are you doing?¡±
Has he had enough? Seriously!
She thought that he just wanted to flirt with her lightly with just kisses, and she had not expected that he would be making further advances at her.
Just as expected, this guy simply doesn¡¯t understand what it means to ¡®stop when you are ahead.¡¯
Evidently, the only idiom in his dictionary is ¡®to take a foot when given an inch.¡¯
Even though it was clear that the two had feelings for each other, Mu Xiaoxiao felt that it was going too fast. She wasn¡¯t ready for it!
It was fine if he had stopped at kissing her.
But how could he just skip all the process and go straight to home base?
Yin Shaojie met her eyes, and his good-looking face suddenly drooped. The usual unfettered and bossy handsome face of his became wretched as he stared at her pitifully.
¡°Wifey, I feel so ufortable¡¡±
Though Mu Xiaoxiao was criticizing him inside, her face was red and her heart was beating faster, and she couldn¡¯t help but go soft on him.
She asked, ¡°What¡¯s¡ the matter?¡±
Yin Shaojie made a pitiful utterance and said with a whimper, ¡°I¡¯m ufortable¡ Xiaoxiao, wifey. I¡¯m ufortable¡ so ufortable¡¡±
At first, she thought he was only pretending, but after looking into his eyes, she felt instead that it didn¡¯t seem like he was pretending.
Sigh. So is he pretending or not!
She was hoping that he was actually pretending.
But¡ he really seems like he is ufortable.
If this is an act, then his acting is just too good.
Seeing his deeply wrinkled brows and the ufortable expression that seemed to be calling for help, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but be worried as she asked again, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Tell me. If you don¡¯t tell me¡ how can I help you?¡±
Not thinking before she spoke, she immediately regretted it.
Chapter 421 - How Should She Respond to His Excessive Demands?
Chapter 421: How Should She Respond to His Excessive Demands?
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao paused, her face getting hotter, and her heart was beating wildly as if a motor had been installed in it.
Goodness gracious!
What have I said?
I only needed to console him. Why did I tell him that I would help him?
God knows if his brain is loaded with perverted things¡
Yin Shaojie stared at her fretful face. Suddenly, he smiled, and he closed up to her to give her a peck on her lips.
¡°Silly girl!¡± he smiled and said, his eyes filled with affection for her.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him, not saying anything for fear that she would say something that she would regret.
So what is he thinking about?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart was racing, and her face was flushed as she guessed what perverted demands he might ask of her.
What should I do then?
Must I keep to my word earlier and do whatever he says?
Boo hoo, someone give me medicine to ease my regret!
Just when Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart was suspended in trepidation, Yin Shaojie withdrew his hand from under her clothes.
He had even helped her to arrange her messy bangs, then he kissed her on her mouth and said, ¡°Okay, I was just kidding. Come on, get up.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled, ¡°Uh¡ What?¡±
He was just kidding?
But the way he looked earlier¡ it didn¡¯t seem like he was just kidding.
Yin Shaojie smiled bitterly and pointed to Lisa, who was standing at the door. ¡°There¡¯s someone watching us. How could I have really done anything to you? Aren¡¯t you silly!¡±
With that said, he scratched her little nose with his finger.
However, he had nearly given in to his impulse. Luckily, he had restrained himself.
He didn¡¯t want to be intimate with her under the watchful eye of others. This would be disrespectful to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted her mouth and pped his hand. ¡°Bastard!¡±
She was trying to get up, but Yin Shaojie reached out and hugged her.
He sighed and groaned. ¡°Wife, let me hug you again.¡±
Hubby has troubles, but Hubby can¡¯t share it with you!
Regarding the incidentst night, although he had not touched the woman, the matter was between him and his father-inw, and he felt that it was better not to let Xiaoxiao know about it.
Firstly, he was unsure if Xiaoxiao might get jealous.
Secondly, he was unsure if she might get angry at his father-inw for taking such measures.
Since he had passed the test and what happened had already happened, he just wanted to move on from it.
Then, Lisa, who was standing at the door, coughed and lowered her voice as she warned them, ¡°Miss, Young Master Jie, Master ising¡¡±
But Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t rmed as she simply pushed Yin Shaojie to have him let go of her.
However, Yin Shaojie suddenly jumped up and hurried to get out of bed as he said, ¡°I¡¯m going to the washroom.¡±
Luckily, there was a washroom in her room; otherwise, it would have been troublesome.
¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. He didn¡¯t seem so urgent earlier. Why did he have to go to the washroom just when her father wasing?
Yin Shaojie looked like he was putting up a front as he said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing, I¡¯m just going to the toilet.¡±
Didn¡¯t this girl notice it?
During the hugging and kissing earlier, he had indeed gotten aroused.
So his body had been reacting to it¡
Though this silly girl hadn¡¯t notice it, but that didn¡¯t mean that the Father-inw wouldn¡¯t notice it.
Thus, Yin Shaojie hurried into the toilet.
A few momentster, Mu Zhengbo came into the room. ncing at the bathroom, he asked, ¡°Is Shaojie inside?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao got out of bed, wore her slippers, and walked over to her father with a big smile on her face.

She went up, hugged Mu Zhengbo, and shouted sweetly, ¡°Papa, good morning!¡±
Mu Zhengbo returned the hug with one hand and touched her head, his eyes filled with love for her.
He said, ¡°You and Shaojie have decided to leave today?¡±
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao looked reluctant to part as she leaned the head on Mu Zhengbo¡¯s shoulder.
¡°Or I can ask him to stay for a few days¡¡±
She was also reluctant to part with the father.
When she was hurt, the first thought she had was to go home.
Coming back to this home made her feel a lot of warmth.
And her father had also given her lots of warmth and a safe harbor that could provide shelter for her whenever she was met with hardships in life.
Mu Zhengbo smiled. ¡°Silly girl, you are a student now. You have already skipped sses for the past few days. It isn¡¯t good to continue skipping sses. Well anyways, you can stille back during winter vacation.¡±
¡°Winter vacation? That will still be a long time from now.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and twisted about, acting like a spoiled child in her father¡¯s arms.
¡°No, winter vacation is too far from now. Christmas then, Papa. I¡¯lle back to see you on Christmas, alright?¡±
There was also more of a celebratory atmosphere outside of China for Christmas.
Moreover, at that time, she could also call Qiqing and a few of the gang, and they could go overseas together to y. It was interesting just thinking about it!
Mu Zhengbo nodded. ¡°Christmas it is then.¡±
He sighed in his heart.
His ck eyes were distant as he stared at his baby. Of course, he was not willing to part with her. He wished for her stay with him for the rest of his life so that he could provide her with the best protection.
However, she was no longer a child, and she needed to grow up.
Thus, he couldn¡¯t keep her tied down, and even more so, he couldn¡¯t overly pamper her.
He wanted her to go out and experience all kinds of things.
What was most important was for her to find someone who was meant to be her other half.
¡
When one was reluctant to part, time passed faster instead.
In the end, Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie boarded the ne that took them back to China.
Just like when they came, they returned to China in their private nes.
Originally, Mu Zhengbo was going to arrange Mu family¡¯s private ne to send them back to China, but for some reasons, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to and insisted on taking the Yin family¡¯s ne.
Finally, after saying goodbye to her father, Yin Shaojie held Mu Xiaoxiao as they boarded the Yin family¡¯s private ne.
Actually, Yin family¡¯s private ne was not quite the same as the Mu¡¯s.
Previously, when Mu Xiaoxiao took the ne to America, because the flight duration had been too long, Mu Zhengbo had made some modifications to the ne in order to make her feel morefortable.
It was equivalent to saying that the private ne had been modified into a special ne just for Mu Xiaoxiao.
All facilities and decor were prepared ording to her likings.
Mu Zhengbo wanted her to feelfortable on the ne just like how she felt at home.
On the Yin family¡¯s ne.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked around. The ne was decorated with a very elegant style. Although it was different from her special ne, it was still veryfortable.
Before long, the ne finally took off.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked outside the window at the airport and runway below as it gradually shrunk in her sight.
Yin Shaojie sat just next to her, and he held her little hand.
He thought she was reluctant to part with Mu Zhengbo, so he rubbed the back of her hand in an effort to console her and said, ¡°Whenever you want toe back, I wille with you.¡±
Although it was pretty troublesome to have to fly for more than a dozen hours from China to the States, these troubles could notpare to the longings for home.
After this incident, Yin Shaojie had understood one thing.
Chapter 423 - He Felt So Sorry
Chapter 423: He Felt So Sorry
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
To Mu Xiaoxiao, her home was in the States, perhaps it was because she had stayed there for four years, or perhaps it was because her father was in the States. Wherever her family was, that was where her home was.
That was the reason why she returned to the States when she got hurt.
In fact, people were all like this.
Whenever they were down and hurt, the first thought was to return home.
Returning to the ce where they could feel the most secure.
Yin Shaojie was feeling guilty that he did not make her feel secure, not to mention making her feel that the Yin residence was not her real home.
The Yin residence was her second home, and she coulde and go at her own pleasure. When she was at Yin residence, she was also rxed andfortable just like in her own home.
But it turned out that it was not the same.
Her home in the States, where her father was, and it was the ce that she held most dear. It was also the ce that made her feel most secure.
Yin Shaojie swore that he must ease her slowly into using the Yin residence as her home so that whenever she encountered any troubles, the first thought would be to go back to the Yin residence instead of running back to the States thousands of miles away.
Yin Shaojie felt sorry for her as he ran his fingers through her messy hair at her temples.
Has this girl gotten a lot thinner?
It seemed like she had eaten quite a bit just a few days ago.
But in just a few days, she seems to have lost a lot of weight.
In the end, it¡¯s all my fault!
Yin Shaojie cursed himself inside, and the eyes that stared at her were full of regret.
The ne was already at a high altitude, but Mu Xiaoxiao was still looking out of the window, not even turning away as if she was daydreaming.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t realize that her expression had changed. She was no longer smiling, looking mncholic and lost in her thoughts.
¡°Xiaoxiao? Xiaoxiao?¡±
When she heard him calling, Mu Xiaoxiao snapped out of it, but before she could cover up the expression of hers, Yin Shaojie caught sight of it.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Yin Shaojie was shocked, holding her little face, feeling sorry for her, studying carefully the mncholy in her eyes.
Why is it that all of a sudden, her mood has be¡
¡°If you really can¡¯t bear to leave your Papa, we can stay for a few more days.¡±
Looking at her like this, he felt extremely sorry for her.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and shook her head as she said, ¡°It¡¯s not because I can¡¯t bear to leave Papa¡ but I am¡¡±
Her ck and bright eyes seemed to have gone dull all of a sudden, and she became shrouded in a fog of mncholy.
Yin Shaojie furrowed his brows, feeling worried for her yet still confounded. ¡°Then, what¡¯s the matter? Can you tell me?¡±
Just what do I have to do to remove the dullness in her eyes and let her smile again?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s nose was tingling, and her eyes quickly became watery.
She leaned over and hugged Yin Shaojie.
Her voice was choking as she said, ¡°I, I just¡ I thought about the day I went back to the States. I was alone on the ne¡ I kept crying and crying¡ I felt so sad as if I was going to die¡¡±
That was probably the darkest and saddest day of her life.
It was as if her world had been destroyed.
It was as if she had been abandoned, and the only thing that was left was herself and her loneliness.
The heart had been empty, and she had been at a loss.
The most terrible thing was that her tears just wouldn¡¯t stop. She wanted to sleep for a while, then perhaps she would feel better after her sleep.
But she just couldn¡¯t sleep, and her mind couldn¡¯t be controlled as it kept picturing the image of him and An Zhixin¡
In the end, in order to be able to fall asleep and no longer think about the matter regarding him and An Zhixin, to no longer feel sad and cry, she had no other choice but to take sleeping pills.

Chapter 424: Can¡¯t Stand The Pain Of Losing You
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Yin Shaojie listened as she told her story with intermittent pauses in between. When he heard that she had to take sleeping pills in order to fall asleep, his heart seemed as if someone had ruthlessly pulled on it a few times, tore it open, and sprinkled salt onto it.
The pain seemed to have sent his heart into convulsions.
At this moment, he felt so guilty he could kill himself!
Dammit!
How could he have let her suffer so much pain?
She was clearly the person he had the least intention of hurting. She was the treasure that he wanted to hold in his hand and take good care of.
But he was also the one who had hurt her the deepest.
If she hadn¡¯t been extremely hurt, how could it still have left such a great trauma in her that just by sitting on the ne, it would cause her to remember all the pain from before?
Yin Shaojie lifted up her face and carefully nted a kiss on it.
¡°Sorry¡ Sorry¡ Sorry¡¡±
Besides those three words, he didn¡¯t know what else to say.
Mu Xiaoxiao was kissed on her lips.
This time, the kiss was very gentle. There was only love and concern for her without a single shred of lust involved.
Her heart, which was initially tainted with sadness, was slowly filled with warmth.
She hugged him, pressing against his back tightly as she sobbed and said. ¡°From now onward¡ You¡¯re not allowed to cause me so much sadness again¡¡±
She was afraid of it, and she didn¡¯t want to go through it a second time.
¡°Yeah, I won¡¯t do that again, ever. I promise.¡± Yin Shaojie kissed her lips lovingly, then he kissed her nose, and he carefully kissed almost every part of her face.
The two embraced each other tightly.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s said in a deep voice, ¡°If¡ I ever hurt you again, you can beat me, yell at me, and even kill me, but you absolutely can¡¯t leave me like before, alright?¡±
You can¡¯t bear this kind of heartache. Likewise, how can I bear the despair of losing you?
¡
The nended.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie once again set foot on China.
The two walked out of the VIP passageway, and from afar, they saw Song Shijun.
¡°Qiqing¡ª¡± Mu Xiaoxiao ran over with open arms, but she hugged nothing as she didn¡¯t see Han Qiqing around.
Song Shijun thought that she was going to hug him, and he had even opened his arms to receive her.
Little did he expect that the Great Mistress Mu wouldpletely ignore him, leaving him with his arms open like a fool.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked around and asked him, ¡°Where¡¯s Qiqing?¡±
Song Shijun put down his arms and said to her, ¡°Qiqing didn¡¯te. I¡¯m the only one here to pick you guys up.¡±
Therefore, I¡¯m the one who is acting the most like a true friend. Is she not intending to give me a warm hug?
The son of the mayor expressed his sadness.
Mu Xiaoxiao asked uprehendingly, ¡°Why didn¡¯t shee?¡±
On the ne, she had already thought about how she would get a warm hug from Qiqing, then Qiqing would get mad at her about how she could just return to the States without a word, and then she would have to exin the matter to Qiqing¡
But Qiqing didn¡¯te!
The Great Mistress Mu expressed that she was a little saddened by this.
Song Shijun snorted and said, ¡°Oh, her. She went to apany Lu Yichen. Today, Lu Yichen¡¯s Mama is getting discharged, so she went to help. The girl values her dates over her mates. She only cares about Lu Yichen, not for us.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised, her eyes widened as she asked curiously, ¡°Eh? When did Qiqing be so close with Lu Yichen? And is Auntie Lu all right? Can she be discharged already?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know. You can ask her when you see her,¡± Song Shijun said, looking like he could not be bothered to exin.

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help butugh, and she joked. ¡°You¡¯re not jealous, are you?¡±
However, she was very curious.
She remembered that before she left, Lu Yichen had still been acting pretty coldly toward Qiqing, almost not paying any attention at all to her. It was only Qiqing who was feeling hot for him.
Little did she expect that there would be such a huge change in only a few days.
Mu Xiaoxiao grew interested. She wanted to quickly call Qiqing to know all about it!
Yin Shaojie¡¯s long arm wrapped around her shoulder as he walked her out. ¡°Okay, you can talk more in the carter¡±
¡°Alright, let¡¯s head back first then,¡± Song Shijun said.
He was always good at studying faces. Thus, when he saw the look on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face, he knew that she was not feeling too good and needed to quickly go back and rest.
After saying goodbye to Song Shijun.
When the car was about to reach their luxurious condominium, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly told the driver stop the car.
Mu Xiaoxiao, who had beenining about wanting to go back to sleep and quite listless when she got off the ne, tugged on Yin Shaojie and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go to the supermarket and buy something!¡± she said while pointing at a big supermarket.
¡°What do you want to buy?¡± Yin Shaojie looked at her and asked.
¡°We have been away for a few days, so the food in the refrigerator should have gotten bad, right? I want to buy some food,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said as she pulled his hand bossily, opened the door, and got out the car.
¡°We don¡¯t have to go. Just get someone to help us buy it.¡± Though Yin Shaojie was saying that, he went along with her to the supermarket.
¡°I want to go shopping myself. There is something that I want to buy,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, her tone sounding something like a spoiled child.
Curious, Yin Shaojie smiled at her and asked, ¡°What do you want to buy?¡±
¡°You¡¯ll knowter!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao deliberately kept him in suspense, smiling very sweetly.
Thus, with one hand in his trouser pocket, Yin Shaojie maintained his dashing look as she dragged him into the supermarket.
Apparently, Mu Xiaoxiao really had something she was looking for. She took him directly to the section for kitchen appliances.
Yin Shaojie looked confused. What could she want to buy here?
Then, he saw Mu Xiaoxiao walking around and finally stopping in front a bathroom cup. She kept a serious expression as she carefully made her selection.
¡°You came here just to buy this?¡± Yin Shaojie looked perplexed.
He thought that she was going to buy something special. But it was just a bathroom cup?
But Mu Xiaoxiao was smiling very sweetly. After deliberating for a while, she finally selected two cups of the same model but of different colors.
¡°This is yours, and this is mine.¡± She handed the blue one to him and held the pink one in front of herself, smiling gleefully.
Yin Shaojieughed as he finally understood.
Couples cups!
This girl is really acting on a whim. She has only juste back, yet she is so eager to buy couples cup.
Then, Mu Xiaoxiao went to choose a drinking mug, bowls, chopsticks, towels, etc.¡ªa whole series that were made for couples.
After only a short while of shopping, their shopping cart was already full.
¡°It seems like we¡¯re not missing anything¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stared at the shopping cart as she muttered.
Seeing that she was clearly so tired yet still hanging on, Yin Shaojie put his arm around her shoulders and said, ¡°Okay, let¡¯s buy these first. When you remember what else it is you want to buy, then we¡¯lle again, okay?¡±
¡°Okay then.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao made a big yawn as she nodded.
Thus, the two pushed the shopping cart to the checkout counter.
However, they saw An Zhixin and Wang Shiyu from afar, and they seemed to be arguing with the cashier.
¡°So you¡¯re bullying us because we are poor, huh?!¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised. What¡¯s happening?
As she nced at Yin Shaojie beside her, there was something in her expression¡
Yin Shaojie stared at her and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao deliberately pointed to the checkout counter with her chin, and she said sourly, ¡°Why won¡¯t you go help them?¡±
¡°What¡¯s there to help?¡± Yin Shaojie made a puzzled face.
Mu Xiaoxiao snorted. ¡°You know what I am talking about.¡±
Yin Shaojie chuckled. He hooked his strong long arm around her neck, and he abruptly gave her a peck on the face. Then, his deep, dark eyes gazed at her.
The maic voice said, ¡°Wifey, now, you are the only one I see. I don¡¯t see anyone else.¡±
Their previous misunderstanding was all because of An Zhixin; Yin Shaojie was not stupid enough to repeat the same mistakes.
Because of an unimportant person, he had instead hurt the person he loved dearly.
This was definitely the stupidest thing that he had ever done in his life!
He was the great Yin Shaojie. How could he allow himself to be so stupid again?
Mu Xiaoxiao was indeed delighted to hear him say that.
Her mood almost immediately became bright and splendid.
She smiled and pulled him to hide in a corner, intending to watch themotion first.
If she were to let An Zhixin catch sight of Yin Shaojie, she was afraid that An Zhixin would get herself involved with him again and force him to help her.
Although Yin Shaojie had already made clear that he would no longer care about An Zhixin, Mu Xiaoxiao still did not want to see such a scene happening.
The argument was bing more and more intense over there.
Wang Shiyu threw something onto the checkout counter. With arms at her waist, she was like a shrew as she pointed at the cashier and shouted, ¡°This is robbery, don¡¯t you know! Just a bottle and it costs more than ten yuan. Don¡¯t you have any shame? This is absolutely shameless!¡±
They were in a wealthy neighborhood.
Thus, this supermarket was targeting mostly wealthy people, and their employees had also received professional training before they were put to work.
The cashier simply smiled in response to Wang Shiyu¡¯s attitude toward her, and she exined with a cordial manner, ¡°Miss, the bottle that you have selected was imported from overseas, so the price is a bit more expensive.¡±
Wang Shiyu sneered and said, ¡°What¡¯s so good about a foreign-imported drink? How could it be so expensive, costing more than ten yuan! At the store near my house, a bottle only costs about one to two yuan. The price is about ten times higher here, you know that!¡±
Facing such unreasonable behavior, the cashier was still smiling, and her manner was still cordial as she pointed to the beverage area. ¡°Miss, we also have other drinks that you can choose from.¡±
Wang Shiyu looked gloomy and cold as she took a photo of the checkout counter and said, ¡°What¡¯s this attitude of yours! You¡¯re just bullying us for being poor and not being able to afford this drink, aren¡¯t you?¡±
The cashier smiled and said nothing.
Isn¡¯t it obvious?
This is a wealthy neighborhood. Among those who cane to this supermarket, who can¡¯t afford a drink that costs about ten yuan?
The cashier had been working here for many years, and this was the first time that he had encountered such a difficult and unreasonable guest.
It wasn¡¯t a crime that they couldn¡¯t afford it.
But to be making amotion there just because they couldn¡¯t afford the drink that was a little more than ten yuan made for an ugly scene.
Gradually, more and more onlookers gathered there.
Feeling pressured, An Zhixin looked embarrassed, and she tugged on the hem of Wang Shiyu¡¯s t-shirt as she said, ¡°Shiyu¡¡±
It wasn¡¯t like they had to buy that drink. She didn¡¯t understand why Wang Shiyu would cause such amotion.
Chapter 427 - I Only Have Eyes For You (2)
Chapter 427: I Only Have Eyes For You (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
They were poor. But, if they couldn¡¯t afford it, they could just not buy it.
There was no need to scold the people who were selling the things.
But Wang Shiyu shook off her hand, pointing at the cashier as she said, ¡°I want to make aint! I¡¯m telling you, you are discriminating against me, against the poor! Is it wrong to be poor? Can¡¯t we enjoy expensive things just because we¡¯re poor? Why the hell not?¡±
The cashier was not intimidated, and he kept smiling as he said, ¡°Of course not, Miss. Then, would you want to buy this drink? If so, I will check out the item for you.¡±
¡°Check what out! You just want to cheat me, don¡¯t you?¡± Wang Shiyu continued to cause trouble.
She folded her arms at her chest, raised her eyebrows as she stared at the cashier, and said, ¡°I¡¯m telling you, get your manager here now! Now, even if you were to give it to me for free, I¡¯m still not just going to let it slide! You are insulting my character! What¡¯s wrong with being poor? Do poor people deserve to be treated like this just because we can¡¯t afford things?¡±
Actually, there was a pretty obvious implication in her words.
However, even if the cashier understood her implication, he waspletely unmoved, pretending not to have heard a thing.
A girl, who was waiting for the checkout behind them, finally couldn¡¯t stand it any longer.
Bang! She threw the shopping basket on the checkout counter.
The girl red at Wang Shiyu scornfully and scolded her, ¡°Poor schmuck! Hehe, I have never seen anyone who is so poor and so proud about it!¡±
¡°Who are you talking about? You think you are such a big deal just because you are rich? So you look down on the poor?¡± Wang Shiyu was so mad that steam was blowing from her nose, and she immediately snapped back at her.
The girl folded her arms at her chest. She was well-dressed, wearing clothes from famous brands, and at first nce, she looked like a ssy missy from a wealthy family.
She red at Wang Shiyu from the side of her eyes and said, ¡°I don¡¯t look down on poor people, but I look down on poor people like you! Does being poor make you right? You¡¯re the shameless one!¡±
Wang Shiyu was green with rage, ¡°Rich people like you only know how to talk. How could you understand the plight of us poor people! If you¡¯re so rich, why don¡¯t you give me some of your money? Would you dare? Humph, all talk!¡±
The girl sneered. ¡°That¡¯s funny, why should I give you money? My family¡¯s money is hard earned. Why should I give it to a stranger like you?¡±
Apparently, Wang Shiyu¡¯s shamelessness was beyond what the girl had imagined.
Even the onlookers were also shaking their heads as they watched Wang Shiyu with a look of disdain.
Many people in the crows were whispering.
How does she even have the cheek to say this?
Even if her family is poor, her clothes, though not of a famous brand, is still very clean and tidy. It doesn¡¯t look like she is so poor that she doesn¡¯t have ten yuan though?
She is even going as far as to ask for money in public.
Isn¡¯t this what a beggar does?
The onlookers were curious as to how her parents had educated her.
Just then, the supermarket manager came over.
An Zhixin looked extremely embarrassing. This time, she forcefully tugged on Wang Shiyu¡¯s clothes and motioned for her to go.
However, Wang Shiyu was already blind with anger, and she could not give it up.
After surveying the scene, the manager then asked the cashier, ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡±
The cashier looked at Wang Shiyu as if he didn¡¯t know what to say.
Seeing the manager¡¯s arrival, Wang Shiyu pointed to the bag of items on the checkout counter, and she said boisterously, ¡°Your staff was rude to me. She insulted me! Manager, I won¡¯t pay for this bag of things!¡±
The manager leaned over to the cashier, and he listened as the cashier said a few words to him.
Chapter 428 - I Only Have Eyes For You (3)
Chapter 428: I Only Have Eyes For You (3)

Then, the manager took down the bag and put it in the empty basket behind the cashier. He then looked coldly at Wang Shiyu and said, ¡°Miss, if you don¡¯t need to check out, please step aside because the customers behind will need to check out.¡±
After he finished speaking, the manager immediately walked away.
¡°You¡ª¡± Wang Shiyu pointed her finger at the manager¡¯s back. She was so angry that her neck became swollen.
¡°p, p, p¡¡±
There was a round of apuse from the side.
The girl from earlier squeezed Wang Shiyu aside and said with a sneer, ¡°If you buy something, you need to spend money. You can¡¯t go arguing about it just because you are poor and expect everyone to give you things for free.¡±
¡°You¡ª¡± Wang Shiyu was so mad that her eyes were red, and it was as if she was going to explode and beat someone.
An Zhixin really couldn¡¯t stand hanging around any longer.
She used all her strength and dragged Wang Shiyu from that embarrassing ce.
When the two were far away, Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie then came out of the corner.
Having witnessed the situation earlier, Mu Xiaoxiao was simply stunned.
Dumbfounded, she looked at Yin Shaojie and asked, ¡°What¡ is this logic?¡±
She still couldn¡¯t understand why Wang Shiyu would cause such a fuss over this.
Even if the drink was really expensive, she could just not buy it. Why cause such a big fuss?
Yin Shaojie sneered. ¡°Some people are probably too used to freeloading that they have even lost their manners.¡±
¡
On the way back to the apartment.
Wang Shiyu was still angry about what had happened earlier. She was cursing incessantly at the girl, the cashier, and the manager.
Along the way, An Zhixin was quiet, and her face was pale.
Wang Shiyu said, ¡°These rich people are really stingy! That bag of things was only two or three hundred yuan, yet they refuse to give it to me for free. Damn it, I wasted so much saliva.¡±
An Zhixin looked at her hesitantly and said, ¡°Shiyu¡ Don¡¯t you think that that was too unsightly? It¡¯s not like we couldn¡¯t afford it.¡±
Even if we couldn¡¯t bear to buy two or three hundred yuan at a time, we don¡¯t have to buy so much. We could just buy the items that we needed.
Originally, they had thought of going to the supermarket just to buy some female products and some snacks.
But when they reached the supermarket, they found that many of the items sold were high-end goods.
But of course, there were also many goods for ordinary people.
Take beverages for example. There was c that they were used to drinking, and the price was the same as outside.
But when Wang Shiyu saw those foreign-imported drinks, she just had to buy them.
But she was unwilling to pay for it, so she tried to make a fuss and cheat her way to a free purchase.
Wang Shiyu still believed that she was right as she said, ¡°I tried this method in other supermarkets, and I seeded many times! Those managers are afraid of people causing troubles and affecting other customers, so they will choose to keep the peace. Who would have thought that the manager of this supermarket would be so mean! How dare he treat me like this! It¡¯s maddening!¡±
She was even feeling proud as she thought of her previous sesses.
One hundred yuan to two hundred yuan every time, and that was equivalent to her saving thousands of yuan!
An Zhixin sighed as she didn¡¯t know how to respond to her.
Sometimes, An Zhixin would find herself getting influenced when she listened to too much of Wang Shiyu¡¯s logic.
It seemed that she would unconsciously start to believe that they were poor people and that others should rightfully help them and amodate their needs.
In the darkness of the night, An Zhixin couldn¡¯t help but reflect.
They had not realized that Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie were following not far behind them and that they had overheard their conversation.
Chapter 429 - I Only Have Eyes For You (4)
Chapter 429: I Only Have Eyes For You (4)

Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head with a look of disbelief.
¡°How can there be such a¡ shameless person in this world?¡±
That was an eye-opener for her!
Yin Shaojie wrapped his arm around her shoulder, and in his other hand, he carried arge shopping bag filled with a bunch of couples items that she had bought fervently earlier.
Watching the expression on her face, he smiled disapprovingly and said, ¡°In this world, there are all kinds of people. It¡¯s just that you have never met them.¡±
This girl¡¯s world was still a bit too naive and clean.
There were actually many people like Wang Shiyu.
But even among the poor, there were poor people who had backbone and would not think about getting something for nothing.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him from her peripheral vision and said, ¡°Then, did you notice An Zhixin? From start to finish, she seemed to look embarrassed. And from what we heard her say just now, she doesn¡¯t seem to agree with her friend¡¯s way of doing things. What do you think of her character then?¡±
It seemed like she wanted to see what he thought about An Zhixin.
However, the scene earlier had made Mu Xiaoxiao feel that An Zhixin was not too bad a person.
But upon recalling back to what happened the previous night, Mu Xiaoxiao just couldn¡¯t feel good about her.
Yin Shaojie said tepidly, ¡°I didn¡¯t notice her.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t believe it. ¡°Are you lying? You have been watching the whole time. How could you not have noticed?¡±
¡°Do I need to notice her?¡± He suddenly stared at her, his eyes seeming like they were seeking her opinion.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook his little head. ¡°Of course¡ not!¡±
¡°That¡¯s why. It¡¯s not someone important. We were just inly watching a show just now.¡±
As the two were talking, they kept a distance from An Zhixin and Wang Shiyu, who were in front.
Waiting until An Zhixin and Wang Shiyu entered the elevator, Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie then got on the other elevator.
As the elevator was going up, Mu Xiaoxiao had been ncing at Yin Shaojie, looking as if there was something that she wanted to say but just couldn¡¯t say outright.
Yin Shaojie turned his head to meet her eyes, smiling through his eyes as he said, ¡°Is there something you want to say?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao purposely shook his head, but the look on her face was clearly implying for him to ¡®Go figure it out.¡¯
Yin Shaojie suddenly turned around, reaching out his arms as he pinned her to the wall.
The handsome face closed up to her, and he said with a sexy and deep voice, ¡°Are you trying to ask me¡ when I am intending to eat you up?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little face was red, and she pushed his face away. ¡°Shameless! I wasn¡¯t thinking of that!¡±
¡°Then, what are you thinking about? Can¡¯t you tell me?¡± Yin Shaojie deliberately lowered his voice as if he was pleading her.
It¡¯s hard to guess what a girl could be thinking about, alright?
Ding! The elevator had reached. Mu Xiaoxiao got out from under his arm. Then, she turned and stared at him, and she said as if she was dissatisfied, ¡°Are you intending to let An Zhixin stay here forever?¡±
He had clearly known that there was still a knot in her heart.
Yet, he was still letting An Zhixin hang around in front of her?
Yin Shaojie had a faint smile. So this is what this wretch was referring to.
But he could only me himself. He had thought that he would solve it by himself first, so he had not told her about it.
Yin Shaojie stepped out of the elevator, held her hand, and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about this. How can I let something that you don¡¯t like show up in front of you?¡±
As for An Zhixin, it was a problem for him too as he didn¡¯t feel like seeing her.
He had been busy chasing Xiaoxiao previously, and he hadn¡¯t thought about how to deal with An Zhixin.
But of course, the first thing to deal with now was to make An Zhixin leave and get out of Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s sight.
Chapter 430 - I Only Have Eyes For You (5)
Chapter 430: I Only Have Eyes For You (5)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Upon hearing his answer, Mu Xiaoxiao was satisfied and didn¡¯t continue questioning any further.
Actually, she wanted to see how Yin Shaojie would deal with An Zhixin without her intervention.
If it is unsatisfactory¡
Mu Xiaoxiao snorted to herself.
After entering the palm-print for authentication, the two entered the apartment.
¡°Aiyoh¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao threw herself on the sofa like she did every time.
She grabbed a pillow, hugged it in her arms, and sniffed the smell of it.
It was very familiar andfortable.
It smelled just like home, and it roused sentimental feelings in Mu Xiaoxiao.
If Yin Shaojie had known what she was thinking, he would definitely be overjoyed.
Yin Shaojie ced the things that Mu Xiaoxiao had bought on the table, walked over to the sofa, and pulled her up.
¡°There is something I want to show you.¡± Looking mysterious, he smiled with pursed lips as if he was waiting for her praise.
Mu Xiaoxiao understood. Had he prepared some surprise for her?
She was beaming with joy as she was pulled up by him, and they walked into the bedroom.
¡°What is this?¡±
Oh yeah!
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered.
On the cruise ship, he had bought the strawberry-shaped diamond ne from the auction, which he had not given her yet.
Could that be the surprise that he is referring to?
Mu Xiaoxiao could not stop smiling.
However, when she was brought into the cloakroom by Yin Shaojie, she was confused.
Shouldn¡¯t he be choosing a more romantic ce to give me the diamond ne?
For example, somewhere like the balcony.
What are we going to do in the cloakroom?
Yin Shaojie took her to the front of the wardrobe located at the farthest end.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, her eyes looking gloomy as she stared at the wardrobe in front of her.
It wasn¡¯t long ago that she opened the wardrobe and found it empty. The clothes that he had bought for her were all gone.
And those clothes had even appeared on An Zhixin¡
Mu Xiaoxiao turned and stared at him, looking aggrieved. ¡°Do you finally realize your mistake?¡±
She had wanted to be more forgiving about the matter regarding the clothes, but she just couldn¡¯t do it.
She was just too concerned about it!
Recalling the matter, Mu Xiaoxiao became moody, and she beat him in a fit of anger.
¡°Bastard! I¡¯m telling you, if you dare to do this again, I won¡¯t ¡ I won¡¯t want you anymore!¡±
Yin Shaojie furrowed his eyebrows, stunned by her strange behavior, and he asked quizzically, ¡°What have I done wrong?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pointed at the wardrobe and said in a huff, ¡°The clothes that you gave me!¡±
Yin Shaojie then noticed something wrong. ¡°You¡ opened the wardrobe?¡±
¡°Yes! I also know that you gave those clothes to An Zhixin! You¡¯re really going to be the death of me!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao hit him again, and she hit him harder this time.
Yin Shaojie was speechless.
He was unsure whether tough, cry, or feel sorry for her.
So that was how she had misunderstood¡
He turned and opened the wardrobe behind him, and that was the wardrobe where he had transferred the ckce clothes to.
¡°The clothes are here!¡±
Looking at the wardrobe full of ckce clothes, Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly.
She hurriedly went over and counted the clothes.
Indeed, there was not a single piece missing!
Yin Shaojie smiled devilishly, hugging her slender waist from behind her. His sexy pursed lips was brought beside her ear, and he said in a low voice, ¡°So you care that much about the clothes I gave you eh?¡±
¡°Of course not!¡± she said smugly.
Yin Shaojie chuckled and kissed her ear, and he said in a low voice, ¡°Would you¡ like to try it once so that I can see?¡±
Chapter 431 - Can’t You Be Gentler?
Chapter 431: Can¡¯t You Be Gentler?
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao was red to her ears as she nudged him with her elbow.
¡°Why should I wear it for you to see? I¡¯m not gonna do it!¡±
She turned and escaped from his arms lest the bastard said something shameful again.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned to look at him. Her face was red as sheined to him, ¡°Weren¡¯t these clothes in my wardrobe? How did it end up in your wardrobe? Give me a clear exnation! What¡¯s going on!¡±
If it hadn¡¯t happened, she wouldn¡¯t have thought that he had given those clothes to An Zhixin.
Then she wouldn¡¯t have felt so stifled for so long.
The more she thought, the more angry Mu Xiaoxiao became, and she gave Yin Shaojie a flurry of punch and kicks.
Of course, that was just an act. How could she actuallynd any hits on Yin Shaojie?
Yin Shaojie reached out his hand and caught her little fist. In a skillful motion, he pulled her toward him and hugged her from behind.
He sighed and said, ¡°me me, me me! It¡¯s all my fault!¡±
Having heard her, it immediately became clear to him what was going on.
He exined, ¡°I had instructed the assistant to buy those clothes for her, and they were just randomly picked. After all, she lived in the apartment I gave her. I can¡¯t be letting her dress so shabbily, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted her mouth and said resentfully, ¡°How did he just end up buying a simr looking skirt¡¡±
Was all the jealousy that she had for nothing?
Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face pressed against the side of her face, and he said to her, almost in a coaxing manner, ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s all the assistant¡¯s fault! I¡¯ll go and deduct his sryter!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao calmed down, and her anger slowly subsided.
She said, ¡°Forget it¡ your assistant didn¡¯t do it intentionally¡¡±
Actually, she med herself for not seeing clearly the clothes or the brand of the clothes that An Zhixin had been wearing.
Seeing the unhappy look on her face, his heart ached a little.
Thinking about all the grievances and pain she had gone through, he did not know how to make it up to her.
Yin Shaojie kissed the side of her face, and he said in a gentle, maic voice, ¡°Wifey, don¡¯t be angry. It¡¯s just a misunderstanding. Can you forgive me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nced at him through the corner of her eyes. ¡°It¡¯s not your fault either¡ But why did you move my clothes into your wardrobe?¡±
If the clothes hadn¡¯t been transferred, she wouldn¡¯t misunderstood!
Thinking about it, it seemed like it was his fault again.
He was hugging her tightly, and she couldn¡¯tnd any hits on him. Thus, in a fit of anger, she stepped on his foot.
¡°Let go of me!¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled bitterly and released her. ¡°Can¡¯t you be gentler?¡±
She actually still stepped on his foot!
Mu Xiaoxiao folded her arms at her chest and red at him. ¡°Tell me quickly! Why did you do that!¡±
Yin Shaojie sighed. ¡°I was trying to do something good, but I ended up doing something bad¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him with a puzzled look.
¡°Come have a look and you¡¯ll know.¡± Yin Shaojie wanted to wrap his arms around her shoulder, but he hadn¡¯t expected that she would actually dodge him. The Great Master Yin felt bad as he walked over to open her wardrobe.
Mu Xiaoxiao took a nce at it, and her eyes instantly widened.
¡°Wasn¡¯t¡ Wasn¡¯t this empty?¡±
She gasped. Her mood was totally uplifted.
When she had opened the empty wardrobe previously, there had not been a single piece of clothing. But now, though she didn¡¯t know when it had happened, the wardrobe had been all filled up.
Comparing to thest time when she had opened the wardrobe, her current mood was theplete opposite!
Chapter 432 - Give Me A Little Reward
Chapter 432: Give Me A Little Reward
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Unlike the clothes in the other wardrobe, which were all ckce with only a single color, the clothes inside came in lots of different colors! There were brighter ones and more elegant ones!
¡°This dress is so beautiful¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was all fascinated looking at it.
What should she do?
She absolutely liked it!
It felt as if she was on cloud nine.
Yin Shaojie took the chance to loop his arm around her waist from behind her and said proudly, ¡°Like it? There¡¯s still another surprise¡¡±
As he was saying, he pulled out thebels from inside the clothes out so that she could have a clear look.
¡°M? What brand is this?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Yin Shaojie said with a smile, ¡°Mu. M. What do you think it means?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly for a moment, and she took a serious look at the brand, M, carefully. The word ¡®M¡¯ was very gorgeous and looked particrly original and chic.
¡°You¡ just tell me what it means! Why do you have to make me guess!¡±
Although Mu Xiaoxiao could guess what it was, she still couldn¡¯t believe it, so she dared not say it.
¡°Come on, it¡¯ll be more fun to guess. So what¡¯s your guess?¡± Yin Shaojie asked.
Seeing the lovely smile on her face, it felt radiant and beautiful to him.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. ¡°I¡¯m not guessing! Hurry up and tell me!¡±
Her eyes seemed like they could not look away, and her hands were rummaging through the clothes inside as if she wanted to see every single piece of clothing.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice became lower as he said beside her ear. ¡°If I told you¡ and it surprises you, should you be giving me a little something as a reward?¡±
¡°What reward?¡±
¡°For example¡¡± Yin Shaojie smirked sinisterly. ¡°I pick one of these clothes, and you try it on for me to see. How about that?¡±
Just trying it on? Mu Xiaoxiao was suspicious, feeling as if she smelled a hint of his scheme.
She took another nce at the clothes inside. They were not like the sexy ckce clothings, but they had a bit more of a smart, cute, and clean style to them.
So she thought, It won¡¯t be a problem if she only tried them on, right?
She nodded and said, ¡°Alright! Then, tell me quickly!¡±
After getting a satisfactory answer, Yin Shaojie smiled widely.
He then made the introduction, ¡°This ¡®M¡¯ is, of course, your name. So this is your brand! Of course, if you like ¡®XX,¡¯ you can change it too since the brand has not been made official yet.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled even more brilliantly, and her eyes were beaming. ¡°My brand? And what do you mean when you say that it has not been official? Will this brand be hitting the stores?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Yin Shaojie nodded. ¡°If you don¡¯t want it to be sold publicly, it¡¯s fine too. Then this brand will just be for your personal use.¡±
He was only thinking about letting the whole world know that the brand belongs to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was curious. ¡°Is it an independent brand? How would be sold then? Actually¡ I don¡¯t mind!¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled and said, ¡°You should know about the Queen brand, right? Originally, the brand has been targeting upper-ss women. This time, your M brand, which is operating under the Queen brand, would be targeting the younger female market.¡±
Chapter 433 - Then Let Me Help You Change
Chapter 433: Then Let Me Help You Change
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
As for the fact that he had already bought shares in the Queen brand, he didn¡¯t feel the need to tell her that.
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. It was actually under such a huge brand name¡
¡°Go ahead with whatever you want then¡ It doesn¡¯t matter to me.¡± Though she said that, she could not keep her glee from showing on her face.
Holding her with one arm, Yin Shaojie¡¯s slender fingers slipped through the clothes, reached for the corner of the wardrobe, and pulled out a clothes hanger.
¡°Then¡ you can try this one.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled as she stared at what was in his hand: whitece¡ pajamas?
It had little material, looking slightly translucent as if it was meant to show a little skin.
She smiled bitterly. ¡°This pajamas¡ is for girls?¡±
Is he joking!
Yin Shaojie smirked and said with a bad boy tone, ¡°This is something that I had someone specially design, and only you have it. How is it? Do you like it?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Like it, yeah right!
Yin Shaojie handed her the pajamas to her and rushed her, saying, ¡°Hurry up and get changed!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao immediately put the hanger back into the wardrobe and then mmed the door of the wardrobe close.
¡°Okay, okay, I¡¯ve seen the surprise. Let¡¯s go out then. I¡¯m a little hungry. I feel like eating something. After eating, I gotta go to sleep¡¡± she said as she walked out.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes narrowed. He grabbed the back of her cor and said in a sinister voice, ¡°You just promised me earlier. You can¡¯t go back on your promise!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao turned back and batted her eyes innocently. ¡°Have I promised you anything? No, you must have heard incorrectly!¡±
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°So you¡¯re going to be dishonest, huh?¡±
¡°Bingo!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s brows were raised in delight as a little devil shed in her dark eyes. ¡°You¡¯re right!¡±
When she finished saying, she broke into a run toward the exit.
But she could not be faster than Yin Shaojie. Almost as if a shadow flew past, she was caught in his arms.
¡°Ah¡ªwhat do you trying to do!¡±
In a sh, she was picked up into the air.
¡°What do you think?¡± Yin Shaojie deliberately said in an alluring voice, and he breathed suggestively beside her ear.
¡°Stop messing around¡ let me down!¡±
¡°I¡¯m not letting you down! I¡¯ll let you down onto the bed.¡±
Putting me on the bed¡ What is he nning to do!
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was blushing as she shouted at him, ¡°Who wants to go to bed with you! Hooligan! Pervert!¡±
¡°You can say whatever you want. In any case, I want my reward. If you don¡¯t want to change, then I will help you change.¡±
¡°No, don¡¯t!¡±
Just when the two were bickering.
Ding-Dong! Suddenly, doorbell interrupted their conversation.
¡°Who is it?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
¡°Don¡¯t worry about it!¡± Yin Shaojie said as he was about to throw her onto the bed.
Hearing the doorbell still ringing, Mu Xiaoxiao quickly pressed against his chest, pushing him as she said, ¡°Go and see!¡±
Yin Shaojie looked unhappy, but nevertheless, he put her down and went out.
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled. She then adjusted her clothes before following behind him.
It¡¯s already nighttime. Who could havee at this time?
At the door.
Upon opening the door, Yin Shaojie saw An Zhixin outside, holding a te in her hand.
An Zhixin seemed as if she hadn¡¯t expect someone would open the door. Her eyes widened in surprise as she said happily to Yin Shaojie, ¡°You¡¯re back?¡±
Yin Shaojie was looking slightly indifferent. ¡°Is there any problem?¡±
An Zhixin looked like she was flurry as she raised the te on her hand and said ufortably, ¡°Well¡ I made some C chicken wings and was thinking of letting you try them.¡±

Actually, she hade up every night to ring the doorbell. Some days, she woulde up a few times just to see if he hade back.
But every time before this, she had returned disappointed. She had even waited for ten minutes to half an hour at times.
The more she waited expectantly, the more she longed to see him.
An Zhixin was gazing fixedly at him, and she couldn¡¯t hide the fascination in her eyes.
Only a few days without seeing him, and she was feeling like she was going crazy thinking about him.
Now that she had seen him, she could only feel her heart thumping madly and restlessly. It felt like she was going to float into the air.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t even take a nce at what was in her hand before saying tepidly, ¡°No thanks. We¡¯re not eating.¡±
We?
An Zhixin¡¯s heart suddenly stopped for a moment. She felt stifled like her heart was being pressed down by a stone¡
As she suddenly understood, she still kept a smile on her face and said, ¡°Is Xiaoxiao at home too? Maybe she wants to eat it. Why don¡¯t you just take it then? This is¡ also my regards.¡±
She insisted on handing him the te.
In this kind of situations, some people would feelpelled and ept it out of courtesy.
But Yin Shaojie was not going to do that, and he didn¡¯t even lift his hand.
An Zhixin was then left in an awkward posture with her hand extended.
Her eyes gradually became misty, and her smile faded as she said with pain in her voice, ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡ I know you may hate me, but it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to bother you guys. I just¡ I just want to thank you. You can rest assured that I was mistaken before, and I will won¡¯t be carried away by my wishful thinking anymore.¡±
¡°Okay¡± Yin Shaojie responded tepidly, telling her that he had heard her.
An Zhixin knew that she should leave and not be a bother in front of him.
But what could she do, she just couldn¡¯t bear to leave!
She hadn¡¯t seen him for a few days, and she wanted to look at him for awhile more, even if it was only a few seconds¡
At this moment, there was a silvery voice that came from behind Yin Shaojie.
¡°Who is it?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s delicate face poked out from behind. When she saw it was An Zhixin, her smile died.
¡°Oh, it¡¯s you, is anything the problem?¡±
Although An Zhixin didn¡¯t want to see Mu Xiaoxiao, she still put on a friendly smile and handed the te to her. ¡°Nothing, I just made some c chicken wings, and I wanted to let you guys try it. It¡¯s very delicious, I promise! Our friends all say that I have good skills¡¡±
¡°Stop!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao raised a hand to stop her from continuing.
She had never seen anyone who boasted about their own skills.
Mu Xiaoxiao still couldn¡¯t bring herself to be as rude as to drive somebody away. After all, she was a wealthy young missy who was used to the upper ss etiquettes.
So she smiled and said, ¡°No, we don¡¯t eat chicken, especially chicken that is delivered to the door.¡±
Hearing that, An Zhixin¡¯s face turned white.
She looked pitifully at Yin Shaojie as if she was waiting for him to say something.
However, Yin Shaojie, who had just been looking indifferent, smiled upon hearing Mu Xiaoxiao say that.
And that smile¡ seemed like it came from his indulgence toward her.
¡°Yeah, indeed we don¡¯t eat that,¡± he smiled and echoed.
An Zhixin felt her heart ache as if someone was gripping her heart and twisting it very painfully.
How she had hoped that the person whom he was watching so attentively was herself¡
Pale-faced, An Zhixin made an awkward smile and said, ¡°Never mind then¡ It¡¯s my bad. I made something that you don¡¯t like. I¡¯m sorry to have bothered you sote at night.¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao yawned as she ced a hand on Yin Shaojie¡¯s chest. ¡°Oh yeah, we¡¯ve just returned from abroad, so we¡¯re tired. We were nning to turn in early; you should get some rest too,¡± she said deliberately.
An Zhixin¡¯s gaze shook.
So they had gone overseas for fun¡
An Zhixin had never been overseas or even anywhere outside her province. She had previously lived in City B with her mom, but she had remarried. Not wanting to be burdened by her, her mom abandoned her to her dad in City A.
Her gaze was obviously envious and even¡ showed a little jealousy.
It was fun to be able to go overseas to y!
However, going overseas for fun seemed like a normal thing to Mu Xiaoxiao from her tone.
It must be great to have money!
Mu Xiaoxiao was only trying to hint to An Zhixin that she and Yin Shaojie were actually about to sleep together and how they were on intimate terms, but An Zhixin thought she was trying to boast about being overseas.
Upon seeing that the door was about to close, An Zhixin hurriedly blocked it.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her and asked, ¡°Is anything else the matter?¡±
An Zhixin was a little flurried, but she tried hard to calm herself down.
She looked towards Yin Shaojie as though she was waiting for a reaction from him.
Even simply a pitiful nce from him would do¡
However, there was none.
¡°That¡¡± An Zhixin¡¯s thoughts were running a little wild. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just wanted to say goodnight.¡±
¡°Oh, goodnight,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao answered politely.
An Zhixin took two steps back.
The door in front of her shut mercilessly.
Her face was somber as she trudged to the lift.
As she watched the lift descend level by level, she reyed the scene where Mu Xiaoxiao had implied that she was throwing herself at him. The more she thought about it, the angrier she felt.
An Zhixin¡¯s gaze burned with fury.
She threw everything in her hands ¡ª even the te ¡ª into the rubbish bin.
The lift arrived at the top floor with a chime.
As An Zhixin walked in, she couldn¡¯t help but turn to look at the door.
This unit was way betterpared to the one she had been living in before, and even the door lock was technologically advanced.
An Zhixin had fantasized about Yin Shaojie countless times. If she could only move in to her own ce and live together with Yin Shaojie, that would be perfect¡
She was obviously aware that this wasn¡¯t right.
Yin Shaojie was already very good to her. He let her have such a luxurious condominium to stay in and had bought her so many new clothes. He had already treated her so well by giving her ess to this ce.
It was only that he didn¡¯t like her. He liked Mu Xiaoxiao¡
An Zhixin knew all of this and that she stood no chance with him.
However¡ she just couldn¡¯t give up!
The lift doors closed slowly.
An Zhixin leaned against the wall and covered her face with her hand.
Like that, no one would be able to see her gloomy expression.
An Zhixin walked back to the condominium.
Wang Shiyu wasying on the sofa and eating some fruit. Upon seeing her sad expression, she sat up and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Has Young Master Jie returned?¡±
Previously, even though Zhixin looked disappointed when she returned, she had never looked¡ so sad as though she had lost her soul like today.
An Zhixin walked over to sit down beside her. Suddenly, she leaned over and hugged her.
She sobbed as she said, ¡°Shiyu¡ what should I do? I really, really like him!¡±
Chapter 436 - She Must Be Crazy
Chapter 436: She Must Be Crazy
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Wang Shiyu hugged her back and patted her reassuringly.
It was obvious from her expression that Yin Shaojie had returned and that something unhappy had happened.
Wang Shiyu asked gently, ¡°Zhixin, tell me; what happened?¡±
It was only then that An Zhixin lifted her head to look at her. Her eyes were red, and she sniffed as she said, ¡°He was so cold towards me¡ but he was so gentle and affectionate towards Mu Xiaoxiao. It turns out that they had gone overseas to y the past few days, and I¡¯ve been such a fool to wait at his door every day¡¡±
Wang Shiyu looked indignant at her friends¡¯s suffering and said angrily, ¡°Is he blind? How can he fall in love with Mu Xiaoxiao but not even consider you? If only he gave you a chance; he would know how good you are, how much you like him, and how you¡¯re the best person for him.
She was smart and knew what An Zhixin wanted to hear.
As expected, An Zhixin nodded at her words, and even more tears fell from her eyes.
Her voice choked up as she said, ¡°That¡¯s right¡ If only he could give me a chance and give us a go¡¡±
Humans are the same: They obsess over something that they can¡¯t get, but once they obtain it, they will do such and such.
Wang Shiyu narrowed her shrewd eyes in thought.
After a while, she pped the sofa, her gaze sharp as she said to An Zhixin, ¡°Zhixin, you should either just give up or go through with it to the end!¡±
¡°What?¡± Sensing that her friend had an idea, her face lit up with a glimmer of hope.
Wang Shiyu smirked, pleased. ¡°Isn¡¯t it simple? Men are simple creatures. If you give your body to him, he won¡¯t be able to push you away. Once he has tasted you once, he will want to do so again. By then, Mu Xiaoxiao will be pushed to the back of his mind!¡±
Which mistress didn¡¯t get her position through sex?
¡°But¡ I don¡¯t know how to do that¡¡± An Zhixin felt a little shy, and she blushed.
Wang Shiyu grinned at her. ¡°I¡¯ll help you. Just choose a date and find an excuse for him toe here. When he arrives, leap into his embrace¡¡±
Thest few words made An Zhixin remember how Mu Xiaoxiao had said that she was throwing herself at him. Her face paled.
However, Wang Shiyu was still pouring out advice with satisfaction. ¡°How about this; you can prepare a table of food and pretend to ask him toe here for a meal. Better yet ¡ª drug his dishes and wear something sexy to seduce him. I won¡¯t believe that he can control himself under these circumstances!¡±
¡°But¡¡±
Wang Shiyu thought that she was afraid that Mu Xiaoxiao would interfere and said, ¡°I¡¯ll handle Mu Xiaoxiao for you!¡±
After listening to this n, An Zhixin felt more and more uninspired to carry it out.
Based on logic, this sort of trick was old school but effective. If she seeded, she could get what she wanted.
However, as she thought about Yin Shaojie¡¯s cold expression earlier, An Zhixin inexplicably felt that it wouldn¡¯t seed¡
If such a trick could work on him, countless women would have already pounced on him, given how illustrious his background was.
An Zhixin folded a leg on the sofa and held her forehead in her hands, trying to think of what to do.
Wang Shiyu thought she was thinking the n through and continued to jabber on.
An Zhixin chuckled bitterly the more she thought about it.
She felt that she must be going mad.
Her heart beat wildly every time she thought about Yin Shaojie.

She was now listening to Wang Shiyu¡¯s descriptions. However, when she thought about Yin Shaojie rejecting the temptation, she wasn¡¯t disappointed and fell even more in love.
A man who could resist temptation was alluring!
Of course, she wanted to be the object of devotion¡
An Zhixin bit her fingernails. She looked deep in thought, and there was a light in her gaze.
¡
It was morning, and the sunlight was bright and clear.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie walked out from their home together and prepared to head to school.
¡°Can we eat breakfast nearby? I¡¯m hungry, and I can¡¯tst till we reach school.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked as if she was still half-asleep. Her eyes were not fully opened, and she covered her mouth as she yawned.
It couldn¡¯t be helped. She had been waking up naturally for the past few days.
She wasn¡¯t used to getting up early so suddenly.
Mu Xiaoxiao walked in front and yawned a few times. When she touched the handle of the door, she felt something weird.
¡°What¡¯s this?¡± She was puzzled at finding a card at the door.
Yin Shaojie had finished putting on his shoes and walked out, looping an arm over her shoulders out of habit.
¡°What¡¯s up?¡± His maic voice rang beside her ear.
Mu Xiaoxiao moved away from him. Having already been surprised before, she couldn¡¯t take his low tones.
Her heart started to beat wildly.
¡°Stop saying things beside my ear!¡± she said with disgust deliberately to hide her blush.
Yin Shaojie saw the card in her hand and asked, ¡°What¡¯s this?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged. Taking up the card, she opened it causally.
There were a few lines of graceful handwriting, and it was obvious that it had been written by a girl.
After she read it, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s gaze instantly became alert.
Her lips curled downwards. ¡°It¡¯s An Zhixin¡¯s writing.¡±
She threw the card at him as she said that, and she tugged at his hand before making her way to the lift abruptly.
Yin Shaojie skimmed through the contents of the card and began to take off for Xiaoxiao, his expression unreadable.
When they reached the lift, he threw the card into the bin.
Mu Xiaoxiao cast a side nce at him. With her arms crossed, she said icily, ¡°Aren¡¯t you worried for her?¡±
The card was written by An Zhixin, and it said that she was going to move out of the condominium. She was grateful for Yin Shaojie¡¯s care during this period, but she had to move on and face her own life, and she was going to do so now.
It was some very touching prose~
If it had been some other guy who was just a little bit more soft-hearted, he would have feltpassion towards An Zhixin and thought that she was a resilient girl.
Mu Xiaoxiao would have thought this way too before.
However, after experiencing the events of the past few days, she couldn¡¯t bring herself to think of someone so naively any longer.
Especially when there was the scheming Wang Shiyu by An Zhixin¡¯s side.
The lift arrived, and the doors opened.
Mu Xiaoxiao entered first. Yin Shaojie held the lift door for her before following her in.
He drawled, ¡°I¡¯m worried?¡±
Upon hearing his answer, Mu Xiaoxiao red at him. ¡°What did you say?¡±
How dare this jerk say that he was worried for that An Zhixin?!
Mu Xiaoxiao hit him with her bag in anger.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s lips curled into a smile as he grinned and blocked her attacks, pulling her into his embrace once more. ¡°I haven¡¯t finished speaking yet. I¡¯m worried that she¡¯s plotting something; I¡¯m not worried for her welfare.¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
That was more like it. Mu Xiaoxiao paused and replied, ¡°Do you think she¡¯s plotting something based on her telling us that she¡¯s leaving?¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t think so. He rapped a finger against her skull and said in a carefree manner, ¡°Why are you thinking so much about it? Whatever they do is their own business; why should we care?¡±
If he constantly ruminated over all the women who tried to plot something involving him, wouldn¡¯t he be overwhelmed?
The lift reached the garage below quickly.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t walk out but stood there firmly as she looked at him admiringly and pped like a seal. ¡°Yin Shaojie, how philosophical you sound! That¡¯s a surprise.¡±
¡°What do you mean by ¡®surprise¡¯?¡± Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes as he pulled her out of the lift.
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled but didn¡¯t reply.
When they reached the sports car, Yin Shaojie opened the car door remotely and settled her in.
However, he didn¡¯t walk over to the driver¡¯s side but bent over and stuck his head into her space.
Mu Xiaoxiao backed up. Puzzled, she asked, ¡°What are you doing?¡±
¡°Helping you put on your seatbelt,¡± Yin Shaojie said seriously as he reached out a long arm and pulled the seatbelt across her and locked it in ce.
Just as Mu Xiaoxiao rxed, he suddenly leaned in and pecked her on the lips.
¡°Give my a kiss too, wifey.¡± Yin Shaojie was smiling devilishly.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was a little red. She red at him shyly and said, ¡°Stop fooling around! We¡¯re running behind and we¡¯re going to bete!¡±
She hadn¡¯t been to school for a few days now, and it would be even worse if she were to bete.
¡°Since I¡¯ve given you a kiss, shouldn¡¯t you give me one in return?¡± Yin Shaojie was relentless, however, and leaned his lips onto her face.
He looked as though he wouldn¡¯t budge unless he got a kiss.
Mu Xiaoxiao was helpless in this situation. Humoring him, she kissed his cheek. ¡°Is this okay now?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at her unhappily. ¡°What do you think?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. Her gaze fell onto his lips, and she felt her heart beat faster.
¡°Okay¡ But you have to close your eyes!¡±
¡°Why should I?¡± Yin Shaojie smiled, delight in his dark gaze.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°S-Shouldn¡¯t kissing be done when your eyes are closed? Do you have nomon sense?¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Yin Shaojie nodded and closed his eyes obediently.
Mu Xiaoxiao leaned forward hurriedly, intending to only give a brush on his lips.
Unexpectedly, just as she touched his lips, this demon, who had been closing his eyes yet seemed as if he could still see, hooked a hand to the back of her head.
He pried her mouth open, and his hot, wet tongue slithered in, exploring her mouth.
Mu Xiaoxiao was pressed against her seat and could only push against his chest weakly.
She could feel his strong heartbeat under her palm.
The pair forgot their surroundings as they kissed. Little did they know that there was a video camera recording them at a corner of the car park.
¡
At Shangde High.
When the silver Lamborghini appeared in front of the school gates, everyone¡¯s attention was immediately captured by it.
¡°My goodness! Isn¡¯t this the limited-edition car that will only be avable on the market next season?¡±
What¡¯s so surprising about this? There are so many unnoticed rich people in our school, so it¡¯s probably another one of those rich young masters who got his hands on it.¡±
¡°Are you referring to Young Master Jie? He hasn¡¯t been to school these past few days, and I miss him to death.¡±

¡°It would be so great if it was him! I feel like my entire being is about to wilt soon because of Young Master Jie¡¯s absence¡¡±
Under the whispers of the crowd, the sports car drove into the parking lot reserved for the Student Union.
Everyone¡¯s attention was on the person in the driver¡¯s seat.
All the girls looked expectant.
There were many who were even sure that the person in the driver¡¯s seat would be Young Master Jie!
Just then, the door to the driver¡¯s seat opened.
The girls clenched their fists in excitement and prepared to scream Young Master Jie¡¯s title.
In the next second, a pair of fair, slim legs stepped out, causing the screams that almost erupted to be stuck in these girls¡¯ throats.
No one had expected this situation.
The driver was a girl?
Everyone¡¯s jaws dropped.
As the crowd witnessed Mu Xiaoxiao exit from the driver¡¯s side, their eyeballs looked as if they were about to pop out.
NANI?!
How could it be Mu Xiaoxiao!
Mu Xiaoxiao shut the door with a bang as she looked satisfactorily at Yin Shaojie, who was exiting from the passenger seat. She lifted up her chin as she said, ¡°How¡¯s this? My driving skills aren¡¯t bad, huh?¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled but said nothing.
The rest of the girls came out of their shock. When they saw Yin Shaojie, they immediately started screaming infatuatedly.
¡°Young Master Jie! Young Master Jie, you¡¯re finally back!¡±
¡°Young Master Jie, we missed you so much! Don¡¯t leave us for so long next time, okay?¡±
¡°Ah ~ Why do I feel like Young Master Jie¡¯s looking even more handsome now? No, I can¡¯t take this any longer!¡±
The infatuated screams of the girls came in waves.
Mu Xiaoxiao could hear them even as she tried to block it out. She shook her head, intending to get out of here as soon as possible.
¡°Let¡¯s hurry; ss is about to start soon in a few minutes!¡± she said anxiously, not even sparing a nce at Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s brows furrowed, and he chased after her in long strides.
He then scooped up her little hand with his big one.
The crowd let out another shriek.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned at the loudness and tried to shake his hand off. ¡°Stop tugging at me.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Yin Shaojie let go and looped an arm around her shoulders instead.
The shrieking grew even louder.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t take this anymore and rushed him. ¡°Hurry up! I¡¯ll go deaf soon if I stay here any longer.¡±
It was certainly scary when one was faced with a bunch of infatuated girls!
They were almost at Year One¡¯s block now.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought he would release her, but unexpectedly, he didn¡¯t and even apanied her as she continued walking.
¡°Are you going to sit in my ss again? Stop fooling around!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled bitterly as she said.¡±
¡°No,¡± Yin Shaojie replied, but he still had her in his arms as they made their way up.
On the way, they caught the attention of almost everyone.
When they reached Year One¡¯s ss S, he stopped and didn¡¯t follow her in.
Mu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief. She didn¡¯t want this guy to sit in again as it made her feel as though she had no freedom.
Did that mean that he was apanying her to her ssroom specially?
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled to herself.
¡°Alright, I¡¯m here now. You should go to your ss too; ss is about to start,¡± she said to him as she smiled.
Yin Shaojie put a hand in his pocket. He looked very handsome as he smiled and pinched her cheek, instructing, ¡°Yeah, pay attention in ss, and don¡¯t speak to other guys, you hear? I¡¯ll see you in the afternoon.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to agree to such an absurdly tyrannical request. She waved her fingers at him. ¡°Bye bye.¡±
It was only then that Yin Shaojie left.
The surround crowd parted automatically for him, and they even saw him off with their gazes.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t even cast a second nce at his departure and turned around immediately to enter the ssroom.

She walked to her seat and sat down, smiling and waving to Yu Zhe. ¡°Morning! It¡¯s been a while. Did you miss me?¡± she said casually.
Yu Zhe turned around, his gaze seemingly locked on her face.
Hearing her bright and energetic voice made his lips curl into a smile. ¡°Yeah,¡± he replied.
He missed her a lot.
He really, really missed her.
Mu Xiaoxiao, of course, was joking with him. She nodded satisfactorily at his ying along.
Yu Zhe ced his arms on her desk and asked curiously, ¡°I heard you came to school in a car? You don¡¯t have a license, do you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry as she said, ¡°Can gossip travel slower?¡±
It had only been a few minutes since she parked the car and entered the ssroom, hadn¡¯t it?
She had to admit that the speed of gossip in Shangde was even faster than the speed of light!
Yu Zhe smiled. Taking out his phone, he went to WeChat¡¯s ¡°Moments¡± page and showed it to her.
¡°See it for yourself. This was sent out a few minutes ago, and it¡¯s already spread around the entire school.
His Moments were filled with many simr posts from different people.
Looking at the phone, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know what to say.
There were indeed videos of her parking and getting off the car earlier!
Yu Zhe saw that she was in a daze, and he reminded goodheartedly, ¡°You don¡¯t have a driver¡¯s license, right? It isn¡¯t a good thing to be videoed like that then.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly. ¡°I only drove for a little bit¡¡±
What happened was: She had been bickering with Yin Shaojie as they were reaching the school gates, and wanting to prove that she could drive, she swapped ces with Yin Shaojie.
She really only drove for a little bit, and the distance was only from the school¡¯s entrance to the carpark.
She only dared to attempt it as there were only about ten minutes left to ss then, and there weren¡¯t many people around.
She stuck her tongue out at Yu Zhe¡¯s reminder and realized that her behavior wasn¡¯t good.
She frowned, worried. ¡°Will the police arrest me?¡±
Actually, she could drive.
When she was in America, she would sometimes drive her friends¡¯ cars.
Just like other people who were learning to drive, she would take a car from home or borrow her friends¡¯ cars to practice in an empty area, so it wasn¡¯t considered as breaking anyws.
It was only when one was on the road without a license that it would vite traffic rules.
Upon hearing Yu Zhe¡¯s exnation, Mu Xiaoxiao patted her chest in relief. ¡°That was lucky.¡±
Yu Zhe replied, ¡°However, you should still be careful next time.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded hastily. ¡°I get it now. I won¡¯t be fooling around next time!¡±
The atmosphere calmed down once they finished the topic.
Mu Xiaoxiao took out her textbook from her drawer and looked at the time. ss was about to start.
She thought that Yu Zhe was going to turn back to his seat once they finished talking.
However, she heard his voice ring out. ¡°Xiaoxiao, where¡ have you been recently?¡± he asked hesitantly.
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head and looked at him. ¡°That¡ I had some family issues¡ so I returned to America for a while.¡±
Yu Zhe was shocked. ¡°Eh? Your home¡¯s in America? Didn¡¯t you live here but go to America to study?¡±
¡°Nope.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t think that this was something that she shouldn¡¯t talk about.
However, she didn¡¯t want to borate on her family matters.
Just then, the bell rang for the start of ss.
Mu Xiaoxiao said to him hurriedly, ¡°It¡¯s time for ss; you should turn back.¡±
Yu Zhe still wanted to question her further, but he turned around reluctantly.

The English teacher walked in to the sound of the bell.
Upon seeing that it was the English teacher, Mu Xiaoxiao moaned and put her head on the desk.
Why was the first lesson English!
When the teacher¡¯s gazended on Mu Xiaoxiao, his brows furrowed, and he looked displeased.
The English teacher stood at the podium and hit the table with his teaching baton. ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, do you know you¡¯ve been ying truant for the past few days?¡± he said severely as he looked at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°I know.¡±
¡°¡¡± The corner of the English teacher¡¯s mouth twitched. He probably hadn¡¯t seen a student who was unrepentant about skipping ss.
Mu Xiaoxiao cupped her chin with both hands and said as she looked at the teacher, ¡°Teacher, do you want me to give you a letter of absence? I can go to the Principal¡¯s office to get one for you after ss.¡±
The English teacher was speechless.
Was she trying to use the Principal¡¯s name to put pressure on him?
However, Mu Xiaoxiao had no intention of doing so. To her, seeing the Principal was like seeing any other teacher, and it felt normal to her.
The teacher probably considered her connection with Young Master Jie, and so he only gave her a nce before replying, ¡°No need. It¡¯s good that you¡¯re back in ss now. Don¡¯t skip ss again.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded.
The teacher then turned his attention away from her, and he took out a ream of test papers from his file. ¡°We¡¯re taking a test this lesson. Prepare yourselves,¡± he said to the entire ss.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Test?¡±
The English teacher heard her exmation and looked at her. He smirked and said pointedly, ¡°Yes, we¡¯re taking a test now. Even if your oral skills are great during ss, it doesn¡¯t mean that you¡¯ll be able to do well in written tests, but thetter is the only thing that matters.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t even need to guess to know that he was talking about her.
Was the teacher not putting the cart before the horse?
The main purpose of learning English was tomunicate, not to test well.
However, marks seemed like everything in a ssroom setting.
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly.
Yu Zhe thought she was worried about the test, and he turned his head around slightly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. If you¡¯re able to understand the contents, you won¡¯t score too badly,¡± he whispered to her.
¡°Okay, I got it,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao whispered back.
The test papers were distributed quickly.
There weren¡¯t many tests in America. There was only one exam at the end of the term and almost none for the rest of the term. Even then, the term exams didn¡¯t have such an anxious atmosphere.
However, things were different in China. She saw how serious everyone was and how anxious they had looked when they got their papers, and it made her nervous as well.
It seemed like the results of this test might affect something.
Everyone started to read the paper upon receiving it.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s reaction time was slower. When she finally decided to look through the questions, the teacher had already started the listeningprehension exam, which made her flustered for a moment.
Luckily, English was like a mother tongue to her, which made the listeningprehension exam not difficult.
She finished the exam easily.
Mu Xiaoxiao read on. She realized the questions weren¡¯t hard, and she could understand all of them.
Just like what Yu Zhe had said, she wouldn¡¯t do that badly if she understood what was on the paper.
However, perhaps she was affected by the people around her, but Mu Xiaoxiao lost herself in the paper. It was only when she finished the paper and lifted her head that she realized how fast time had flown by.
After handing in her papers, Mu Xiaoxiao was still in a daze.
Yu Zhe turned around to look at her. ¡°How did you do?¡± he asked concernedly.

¡°It was¡ okay,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao jabbed her pen on a book and said uncertainly. Anyway, she hadpleted the paper and understood everything.
Yu Zhe looked at her expression and saw that she didn¡¯t look too bad. He smiled and said, ¡°You should be fine then.¡±
¡°How about you?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked him.
Yu Zhe sighed and smiled bitterly. ¡°My English is okay¡ but I¡¯ll pass barely.¡±
It always seemed that time flew whenever they had ss.
The next lesson was Chinese.
Upon seeing the Chinese teacher enter the ss with test papers, all the students groaned at once.
The Chinese teacher smiled as he said, ¡°Groaning won¡¯t help you at all. There¡¯s going to be a test for every subject today, so good luck.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. ¡°Another test?¡±
And for every subject too?
She plopped on the table lethargically and moaned tragically. ¡°Why couldn¡¯t I havee backter? Why!¡±
She could have avoided the tests like that!
Why must she undergo testing on her first day back in ss?
And they were even even back to back!
Mu Xiaoxiao felt as though she was going to go mad¡
She felt as though the heavens were trying to torture her because they thought her life was too easy.
On the other hand, Yu Zhe looked rxed. ¡°Tests are really normal. You¡¯ll get used to it soon.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao whined like a puppy. ¡°I don¡¯t want to get used to it; I don¡¯t want to get used to tests!¡±
Yu Zhe was amused by her behavior
However, no matter how much she protested, she still had to take the tests.
The Chinese teacher distributed the papers swiftly, and the bell signaling the start of ss rang.
¡°You may begin the test.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao chewed on her pen as she read the paper.
She was acquainted with all the words on the paper, but why was it that she couldn¡¯t understand a thing when they were ced together?
What was this ¡°filling in the nks for the poetry¡± about?
She had never memorized this poem before!
There was ssical Chinese writing too¡ Mu Xiaoxiao felt like she was looking at an aliennguage.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked through the questions gravely and finished looking at all the questions quickly.
She realized¡ She didn¡¯t know how to answer most of them.
What now?!
She couldn¡¯t hand in a nk paper and score zero.
Mu Xiaoxiao had pride. She couldn¡¯t get a zero for the paper! It would look so bad for her!
She tried to squeeze some Chinese knowledge from her brain and wrote down the answers to the questions she could do.
She couldn¡¯t change how many marks she would be able to get now.
This period felt as if it was an entire year to Mu Xiaoxiao.
In contrast to her suffering, Yu Zhe looked very rxed. He was writing very swiftly.
The test took up two periods.
After handing in her paper, Mu Xiaoxiao looked as though she was going to copse, and she plopped on her table.
Yu Zhe turned back to look at her and couldn¡¯t help butugh.
¡°Do you need to be so exaggerated?¡± he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t even have the strength to lift up her eyelids and said intively, ¡°Tests are so tough. Who was the one who invented such things? Come out here; I promise I won¡¯t beat you to death!¡±
Yu Zhe seemed to think about something and asked, ¡°Did you grow up overseas? Did you not learn a lot of Chinese?
Mu Xiaoxiao only shook her head. She had no energy left to speak.
Because ss was over, her ssmates were leaving the ssroom in a flurry.
Seeing how she was plopped there, unmoving, Yu Zhe asked concernedly, ¡°Xiaoxiao, are you okay? How much longer are you going to rest? We should go and eat already.¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao only shook her head. She looked gloomy and her voice was weak as she murmured, ¡°I don¡¯t feel like eating anymore¡ Not hungry¡¡±
It had only been two tests, and it had already expended all her energy.
She wanted nothing more than to plop there like a boneless creature and not move.
Thus, she stayed like that quietly, daydreaming and resting.
She was trying to empty her mind and not think of the test questions anymore.
Her mind was filled with words floating around. Sometimes they were poetic phrases and sometimes they were ssical writings.
Help!
What could she do to empty her mind?
Yu Zhe turned around and plopped on her desk with her. He looked into her eyes as he said, ¡°Do you want me to get some takeout and bring it back to eat with you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head again. She turned to the side and looked outside.
Just then, a silhouette appeared.
The corner of her mouth curled up in a smile, and life returned to her eyes.
Yu Zhe was shocked by the change.
¡°Someone¡¯s here to get me.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao sat up and gave azy stretch.
Yu Zhe¡¯s face froze for a moment. He knew who it was without her telling him.
He sat up hurriedly.
In the next second, Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome figure appeared in the ssroom. His dark gaze looked at Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯szy form and asked, puzzled, ¡°What happened? Why do you look so tired?¡±
Seeing that he had walked over, Mu Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand coyly so that he could pull her to her feet.
She thenined, ¡°It¡¯s been tests all morning, and I¡¯m about to copse¡¡±
Yin Shaojie was amused by her tone and asked, ¡°Did you do badly?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was practically leaning on him, and he had to hold up her entire weight. She looked like azy little cat.
¡°English was okay, but Chinese¡ Was! So! Hard!¡±
Yin Shaojie snaked an arm around her waist to make her morefortable.
He understood her and smiled. ¡°Your Chinese has always been at the elementary school level, so it¡¯s normal that you find it hard.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted unhappily. ¡°You¡¯re the elementary school kid! I didn¡¯t have the chance to study the middle school sybus. If I did, I wouldn¡¯t have done so badly!¡±
Her Chinese results in elementary school were good.
It was just thatnguage had to be cultivated. It was normal that she couldn¡¯t do the Chinese test, for she didn¡¯t get to study the high school sybus or learn those poetry and ssical writings before.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s maic voice was full of amusement as he said, ¡°Alright, I know. I remember your Chinese being quite good when you were in elementary school, right?¡±
¡°Of course,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, pleased.
The pair were practically flirting as though there was no one else around.
Although the ssroom could be considered empty, Yu Zhe was still there.
Yu Zhe could only maintain an awkward smile. His gaze was a little sad as he observed their flirting.
Yin Shaojie smoothened out the loose hair on her temples as he asked, ¡°Are you hungry?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, like a little chick pecking at grains. ¡°I¡¯m hungry, I¡¯m hungry.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go and eat then. Can you stand properly? Or do you want me to carry you?¡± Yin Shaojie looked at herzy posture and couldn¡¯t help but smile.
Mu Xiaoxiao stood up straight and hooked her arm through his. ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯m starving to death.¡±
Before she left, she even remembered to wave a goodbye to Yu Zhe.
¡°Bye bye,¡± Yu Zhe replied.
After the pair left, he was left alone in the empty ssroom.

Chapter 444: What¡¯s Her Password? (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
At the Student Union building.
This was practically the gathering ce for Yin Shaojie and his friends.
On the first level of the lobby, dishes from a five-star restaurant had just arrived. Before all of them were even ced on the table, a smiling Song Shijun had already pushed the door in and entered.
¡°It smells so good! Those are dishes from Yu¡¯s Kitchen, right? Their dongpo pork is my favorite!¡±
Someone had invited himself and even sat down shamelessly.
Yin Shaojie looked at him. ¡°I don¡¯t recall inviting you here, hm?¡±
Song Shijun picked up a pair of chopsticks and swung them around. He wagged his eyebrows yfully as he said, ¡°Why would you need to inform me? This means we have mutual affinity~¡±
Song Shijun had been really lonely these few days. When Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao had left, Han Qiqing had hung around Lu Yichen all day long.
Even though he had other friends who also belonged to the upper sses, their rtionships weren¡¯t the same.
¡°Hey! You can¡¯t take this!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shouted suddenly and used her chopsticks to prevent his action.
Song Shijun paused in the middle of grabbing the lobster. He pushed the te and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t there another here?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him. ¡°There are only two of them! They are for me and Jie to eat.¡±
Upon hearing this, Song Shijun quickly bypassed her chopsticks. Picking up the lobster and putting it into his bowl, he took a bite of it.
His words were muffled as he said, ¡°It¡¯s more romantic if both of you share one, don¡¯t you think?¡±
¡°You¡¯re such a hungry ghost,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed.
Yin Shaojie looked at the both of them, and he suddenly shot Song Shijun a cold re.
Song Shijun hurriedly smiled at Mu Xiaoxiao obsequiously and said, ¡°Okay, okay, it¡¯ll be my treat next time to make up to both of you; how about that?
As the mayor¡¯s son, there were many in school who ttered and sucked up to him.
However, he was a little masochistic and liked to hang out with these people.
Song Shijun knew that it was because Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s statuses were different that they treated him like a normal person.
Song Shijun liked this about them.
In Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes, he wasn¡¯t the mayor¡¯s son but Song Shijun, their friend.
¡°Oh yeah.¡± Song Shijun seemed to remember something and searched his pockets, presenting something to Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°What¡¯s this?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao received the item and realized that it was a paper box containing a SIM card.
Song Shijun looked at Yin Shaojie in the eyes and said, ¡°This is the card you used here. I¡¯ve gotten a new one for you; put it in your phone to test it out.¡±
If not for his reminder, Mu Xiaoxiao would have almost forgotten about this.
Her phone still had an American SIM card, and she had long thrown away her Chinese one.
Yin Shaojie suddenly reached out and snatched the SIM card. ¡°Give me your phone,¡± he said as he spread his hand out.
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao thought that he wanted to help her put the SIM card in, and gave him her phone.
Having help was always a good thing.
Hehe, now she was free to indulge in eating.
Mu Xiaoxiao picked up thest lobster hurriedly and put it in her bowl. She picked it up with her fingers swiftly and lowering her head, taking a bite.
Her little face was full of satisfaction as she said, ¡°It¡¯s delicious!¡±
Song Shijun nodded in agreement. ¡°I know, right? I love their lobster too.¡±
After Yin Shaojie put the SIM card in to the phone and turned it on, he was confronted by an unexpected lock screen.
He frowned. His dark eyes was glued to the screen, and the gears in his brain turned. What was her password?
Chapter 445 - What’s Her Password? (2)
Chapter 445: What¡¯s Her Password? (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
This girl was very easy to read, and her password should be her birthday or something.
Yin Shaojie tried that, but it was wrong.
He tried her lunar birthday, but that was wrong too.
His frown deepened.
Could it be his birthday?
Yin Shaojie input his birth dates into her phone, but both were wrong too.
He was left with onest chance.
If the password was input incorrectly five time, it would be two hours before anyone could enter the password again.
Yin Shaojie cast a sideways nce at Mu Xiaoxiao. That girl was happily eating and gnawing at the lobster.
When she finally finished, Mu Xiaoxiao wiped her fingers with a wet tissue and looked towards Yin Shaojie. ¡°Are you done?¡±
Why was he so slow? She had even finished her food already.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked over and found that her phone was already turned on, which meant that the SIM card was already put in.
She realized that Yin Shaojie had a weird expression on his face and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is there a problem with the SIM card?¡±
¡°There shouldn¡¯t be a problem. Take a look yourself.¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze seemed a little detached as he handed the phone back to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao threw the wet tissue aside. She received the phone and input her password quickly.
She had no idea that a particr demon was sneaking a nce at her inputting her password.
Yin Shaojie frowned.
What was the meaning of this password? What was its significance?
He didn¡¯t ask her, biding his time.
Upon seeing the home screen appear, he reached out a long arm and snatched her phone away.
Mu Xiaoxiao eximed, ¡°What are you doing?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll help you check,¡± Yin Shaojie said, giving a random excuse. His fingers swiped the screen swiftly and pressed on the messages application.
He turned away from Mu Xiaoxiao so that she couldn¡¯t see the screen and know what he was doing.
He then quickly deleted some messages.
¡°I can check it myself! I don¡¯t need your help! Return my phone to me now!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao finally realized that something was up. She leapt towards him and tried to snatch the phone away.
Yin Shaojie teased on purpose. ¡°I¡¯m only looking through your phone. It¡¯s nothing much. Or does your phone contain things that can¡¯t be shown to people?¡±
¡°Yin Shaojie! Return my phone to me NOW!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao hollered at him. He still didn¡¯t want to give it back to her, and was still looking through her phone.
In a moment of panic, she grabbed his arm and delivered a big bite to it.
Song Shijun, who witnessed the scene, flinched. It looked really painful!
Yin Shaojie also bit down his teeth in pain and turned to look at her.
This girl was merciless.
Wasn¡¯t she afraid of biting his flesh off with the amount of force she had used?
Mu Xiaoxiao maintained her pose as she looked up to re at him. She held her hand out to him and said, ¡°Are you going to return my phone?¡±
She prepared to bite down again.
Yin Shaojie wagged his brows. ¡°Continue biting, just continue biting.¡±
Just then, he tensed his muscles, and they bulged out.
Mu Xiaoxiao bit down in anger, but her teeth were unexpectedly hurt by his strong muscles.
She released her bite. With a crying expression, she used, ¡°You bully!¡±
So what if he was muscr?!
Jerk! Bullying her just because he had muscles!
Yin Shaojie smirked. ¡°It was you who wanted to bite me, and I¡¯m not stopping you either. Are you going to continue biting me?¡±
He tense his muscles as he said again.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. As she stared at his steel-like arm, her eyes lit up with an idea.
Her gaze fell on his neck. ¡°I¡¯ll bite you here!¡±
She didn¡¯t believe that his neck would be muscr too!

However, Mu Xiaoxiao paused.
The neck was a little vulnerable. What if she injured him identally? No, she couldn¡¯t do that.
She suddenly had another idea.
She could bite his face!
Hahaha, she really was smart!
Mu Xiaoxiao leapt towards him with her ws out and mouth open. She grabbed his handsome face and bared her teeth, preparing to bite his cheek.
Yin Shaojie got a shock and avoided her teeth swiftly.
¡°F*ck, you¡¯re ruthless!¡±
This girl was really born in the year of the dog, huh?
Or born in the year of the rabbit!
Yin Shaojie held up her phone and put on a face of surrender. ¡°Okay, I give up. I¡¯ll give your phone back to you, okay? Aren¡¯t you afraid that you¡¯llmit matricide?¡±
¡°It was your fault!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao snatched her phone back and harrumphed.
She searched through her phone, trying to see what he had done.
Yin Shaojie leaned his handsome face over and teased, ¡°Do you really have things you can¡¯t show people in there? Could it be that you take pictures of yourself while you¡¯re showering¡¡±
¡°You¡¯re the only one narcissistic enough to do that!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pushed his face away with her little hand disgustedly.
Yin Shaojie had already aplished his objective and thus looked calm, not bothering to fool around anymore. He picked up his chopsticks and proceeded to eat.
However, his gaze kept returning to her to see what she was up to.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked everywhere in her phone, but she couldn¡¯t find any trace of what he had done.
She used her peripheral vision to look at him.
She thought to herself, He should¡¯ve only looked through her albums or something simr, right? He couldn¡¯t have gone through her Weibo, could he?
Didn¡¯t she register for a new Weibo recently?
She had posted a lot ofints of him there.
She didn¡¯t want him to see her new ount. It was one thing to see what she hadined about him, but those words also implied how much she cared about him. If he saw them, she would feel really embarrassed.
However, his expression didn¡¯t seem to have changed. He probably didn¡¯t see them, right?
As Mu Xiaoxiao was about to put her phone down and continue to eat, she clicked on her messages application absentmindedly.
Eh?
There were so many unread messages.
She looked at the sender. It was Lu Yichen.
She opened it hurriedly. Lu Yichen¡¯s first message asked if she had arrived in America safely and to tell him if she had.
There were about twenty messages in total, and they were all filled with concern for her. They also urged her to take care of herself and not be too upset.
It was obvious from the messages that Lu Yichen didn¡¯t send messages often, for they were a little formal.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao felt really touched as she read every message.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s dark gaze turned to her as he ate. He saw that she was smiling gently.
¡°What are you looking at?¡± he asked.
¡°Nothing,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said casually and exited her messages application.
She thought for a while and pressed on the backup folder, intending to back these messages up.
However, it was then that she saw a message with Yin Shaojie¡¯s name in the autosave document backup folder.
Could it be that he had sent her messages?
A thought shed in her mind.
She smiled.
When he had snatched her phone earlier and done something to it, was he trying to delete these messages?
However, Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t know that her phone had a automatic backup software.
Thus, even if messages or photos were deleted, she could still recover them from the backup.
Mu Xiaoxiao tapped on the folder expectantly.
Chapter 447 - Exposed
Chapter 447: Exposed
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
As expected, all the messages Yin Shaojie had deleted earlier were from him.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s reaction was a little slow, and it took her a while to see how many messages there were.
She couldn¡¯t help but be shocked, and she froze.
More than a¡ thousand messages?!
Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes. She thought she was seeing things.
Was it not a hundred?
How could it be more than a thousand!
However, no matter how many times she looked, there were more than a thousand messages. She wasn¡¯t seeing things.
She even counted it countless times like a kid. One, two, three, four. There were four digits all right! There were really over a thousand messages there!
Beside her, Yin Shaojie was observing her expression and thought she was behaving weirdly. He felt a mysterious sense of unease.
Could it be that he hadn¡¯t deleted all the messages and had left out some?
¡°Xiaoxiao, what are you looking at? You should be eating,¡± Yin Shaojie said as he leaned over deliberately, trying to sneak a peek at what she was doing.
Mu Xiaoxiao was really sensitive to her surroundings this time, and she turned off her phone screen very quickly, cing it face down on the table.
¡°Let¡¯s eat, let¡¯s eat.¡± Her expression held no clue as to what she had been doing.
However, Yin Shaojie observed that the corner of this girl¡¯s lips kept curling up, and she looked like she was obviously trying to suppress a smile.
What had she been looking at? What was making her so happy?
Song Shijun ignored the both of them, and he was engaged in stuffing himself.
Just then, the door opened with a bang.
¡°Why didn¡¯t you wait for me!¡± Han Qiqing looked unhappy as sheined to them.
She walked over to Song Shijun and nted herself beside him.
Mu Xiaoxiao picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth. She looked at her and said deliberately, ¡°Someone valued their crushes over their friends, so we thought that she¡¯d forgotten about us and didn¡¯t invite her.¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s face was a little red. ¡°Xiaoxiao! What are you talking about! I haven¡¯t even asked you why you suddenly ran off to America. We almost flipped all of City A upside down trying to find you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao used her chopsticks to point at her. ¡°Don¡¯t change the subject. I¡¯m talking about you, not me.¡±
Han Qiqing smiled as she said, ¡°What¡¯s so interesting about me? Nothing much happened to me, but the story between you and Yin Shaojie must be really spicy! Hurry up and tell me how you fought and how he won you back! What¡¯s been happening for the the past few days? Tell me the truth; I really want to know!¡±
Song Shijun couldn¡¯t help but agree. His expression was full of curiosity as he craned his neck and looked at Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°Oh right, oh right, what have you guys been up to these few days? Hurry up and tell us.¡±
¡°Tell you, my a**! Hurry up and eat!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and ignored them.
Since Han Qiqing was able to change the subject, she didn¡¯t pursue it any further and started to eat.
After lunch.
Mu Xiaoxiao pulled Han Qiqing to a nearby sofa and started to interrogate her mercilessly.
¡°So, ording to Shijun, you¡¯ve been hanging out with Lu Yichen recently? How¡¯s your progress?¡±
¡°It¡¯s¡ just like that. We¡¯re just friends.¡± Even though Han Qiqing said this, her eyes still sparkled with happiness.
Mu Xiaoxiao nudged her suggestively. ¡°It looks like you have hope then. You¡¯ll be able to bag our top student soon.¡±
Upon hearing this, Han Qiqing sighed. ¡°It¡¯s still too early. He¡¯s only been epting my help, but he still¡ treats me like a normal friend and is still a little distant.¡±
Thus, she really didn¡¯t how how long it would take to conquer Lu Yichen.
Mu Xiaoxiao pumped her fists and encouraged her, saying, ¡°When there¡¯s a will, there¡¯s a way!¡±
Chapter 448 - Someone Values Love Over Friendship

Han Qiqing smiled until her eyes resembled crescents. She hugged Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s arm and said affectionately, ¡°Thanks Xiaoxiao, I¡¯ll do my best~¡±
¡°I¡¯ll help you too!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled along with her.
The two girls were giggling as they continued to talk about best-friend things.
Yin Shaojie and Song Shijun were on the other side of the room.
Song Shijun was lying on an armchair ying with his phone.
Yin Shaojie, on the other hand, was sitting on another armchair and looking at Han Qiqing displeasedly.
Song Shijun lifted his head and saw the scene. Understanding the situation immediately, he got up from the sofa.
¡°Qiqing, since we¡¯re done with eating, let¡¯s go and talk a walk.¡±
He tried to pull Han Qiqing up as he said.
Han Qiqing shook him off. ¡°Who wants to take walks with you? I don¡¯t, and I want to rest here.¡±
Song Shijun wagged his eyebrows at her, trying to signal that the Great Master Yin was displeased and to read the situation and stop being a gooseberry.
¡°We can rest at the recreation room too. The air here is saturated with the smell of food, and it¡¯s not a good ce to sleep. Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go.¡±
He then tried to pull her out of the room forcefully.
¡°Oi, oi, oi, wait!¡± Han Qiqing stood firm. She turned her head and said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Xiaoxiao, Lu Yichen has a basketballpetitionter in the afternoon. Do you want to watch him? He still doesn¡¯t know that you¡¯re back.¡±
Song Shijun sneered. ¡°How could he not know that? Didn¡¯t you see that video of Xiaoxiao getting out of the car this morning? That was so cool! Anyone who has a phone would have already seen it and would know that Xiaoxiao is back. Well, unless Lu Yichen is a primitive human and doesn¡¯t even have a phone.¡±
Han Qiqing red at him in displeasure and elbowed him in the chest. ¡°You¡¯re the primitive human then!¡±
Song Shijun rubbed his chest in pain and said a little aggrievedly, ¡°Could you use a little less force? It hurts, you know? You really value love more than your friends, don¡¯t you? You¡¯ve thrown me to the back of your mind now that you have Lu Yichen.¡±
Han Qiqing was not shy at all and even stuck her tongue out at him. ¡°Why do you care! Who let you insult him? I dare you to say that again.¡±
She raised her elbow threateningly as she said that.
Song Shijun raised both hands in surrender and said awkwardly, ¡°You fierce woman¡¡±
Han Qiqing smiled suddenly and reached out to hook an arm through his. ¡°Okay, stop being jealous. Let¡¯s go and get some ice cream; my treat!¡±
¡°Who¡¯s jealous! I¡¯m not having it!¡± Song Shijun huffed.
Han Qiqing pulled him out of there forcefully. ¡°Just take it. Consider it as apanying me, okay?¡±
She was at fault too. She had only been concerned with hanging around Lu Yichen recently, and she had neglected Song Shijun.
Now that she thought about it this way, it really seemed like she had been choosing love over friendship.
Han Qiqing felt a little guilty. She and Song Shijun usually hung out and went around together. It was natural that Song Shijun wasining.
In the end, Song Shijun couldn¡¯t fight her and was dragged away by her.
The room was now only upied by Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie stood up. He reached out and held Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand as he said, ¡°Let¡¯s go upstairs to rest.¡±
Just like Song Shijun had said, this ce smelled like the food that they had just eaten.
Mu Xiaoxiao gave azy stretch. ¡°I¡¯m tired too¡¡±
However, she felt a little weird as though she had forgotten something important.
However, she was still thrown off by the tests in the morning, and she couldn¡¯t think properly.
Never mind, she¡¯d remember it in due time!

Mu Xiaoxiao was feeling reallyzy and leaned her whole weight on Yin Shaojie. In a coquettish voice, she said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to walk anymore. Carry me.¡±
Of course, Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t refuse her.
He squatted down in front of her.
Mu Xiaoxiao grinned at him as she leaned on his back and let him carry her.
¡
In the afternoon.
It was test time again.
In the ssroom, Mu Xiaoxiao whined.
It was math in the afternoon, and there was another test after that.
Mu Xiaoxiao was only able to do English, and the rest¡ was up to the heavens!
After going through four consecutive periods of tests, Mu Xiaoxiao plopped on the table lethargically. She looked even more miserable than she had in the morning, and it was as if all the life had been sucked out of her.
Yu Zhe turned around to look at her. His gaze held a little heartache towards her plight as he asked hurriedly, ¡°Is math difficult for you too?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and sniffled pitifully. ¡°It¡¯s difficult, of course it¡¯s difficult¡ Even though I learned math in America, why is the math in China so hard? I don¡¯t even understand what it¡¯s talking about!¡±
Yu Zhe smiled. ¡°I know that our math sybus is way more challenging than overseas.¡±
But also, what had she been doing doing ss time usually?
Actually, this wasn¡¯t really Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s fault.
She hade here with the mindset that she would be returning to America to study, so she ignored the sybus here and didn¡¯t bother to listen carefully in ss.
Mu Xiaoxiao really regretted her actions now!
She thought that she was smart and that she was at least not stupid. If she listened in ss, she could probably understand some of the questions.
Now that the exam was done, she didn¡¯t know if she had gotten even a single question correct.
When she thought about her potential results¡
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s exquisite face clouded over with gloom.
¡°Boohoo¡ what do I do? Yu Zhe, will I score zero for this exam? I don¡¯t want to, boohoo¡¡±
It would look so bad if she got a zero!
Yu Zhe didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. ¡°This¡ I don¡¯t know though. I don¡¯t think anyone has ever scored a zero.¡±
Would she be the first one then?
Yu Zhe thought that such a fate seemed pretty miserable.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought about her social standing.
She was Yin Shaojie¡¯s fianc¨¦e, and he was the subject of school-wide attention. If she really scored a zero, wouldn¡¯t she be theughingstock of the entire school?
At this thought, Mu Xiaoxiao felt like there was no point to living anymore and plopped on the table.
¡°Papa, China is too scary, I want to go back to America¡¡±
Just then, the students in the ss suddenly quietened down.
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head in curiosity and saw the English teacher walk up to the podium with the test papers.
¡°I will be returning your papers now. ss President and Vice ss President, please help to distribute the papers. Compare your answers with your ssmates and see where you went wrong. Exnations will be provided tomorrow.¡±
The English teacher handed the papers to the ss President and the Vice ss President as he said this.
Mu Xiaoxiao crossed her fingers and cupped her chin with her hands as she watched them give out the papers.
Her paper was handed to her.
Yu Zhe snatched it away. He looked astonished as he eximed, ¡°Xiaoxiao, you got the highest score!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao said in a muffled voice, ¡°You haven¡¯t even seen anyone else¡¯s score; how do you know that I¡¯ve scored the highest?¡±
She was very confident in English, and she knew that she wouldn¡¯t score too badly.
Yu Zhe grinned. He pped the paper down and showed her her marks. ¡°You got a hundred marks. Can anyone else score higher than this?

Mu Xiaoxiao sat up with a jolt. Her eyes widened as she gaped and asked disbelievingly, ¡°A hundred? Is it real?¡±
She had already seen the hundred on her paper but was still in disbelief. She snatched the paper over and flipped through it.
Goodness gracious!
She really scored a hundred!
Yu Zhe pointed at her essay at the back and tutted enviously. ¡°You didn¡¯t even get any marks deducted for your essay. You¡¯re terrifying.¡±
Upon hearing this news, the rest of her ssmates shouted in astonishment.
¡°A hundred? Mu Xiaoxiao got a hundred!¡±
¡°How can that be? Shouldn¡¯t there be at least one or two marks deducted for the essay at the back? How can she get a perfect score?¡±
¡°Is it real? She¡¯s too pro!¡±
It wasmon in elementary school to see perfect scores, but they were much rarer in middle school, and a person who got perfect scores in high school was simply at god-level.
Of course, someone like Lu Yichen, who was an extraordinary academic, was another story.
Her ssmates were all really curious, and they flocked over to Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s side.
This was an official test, so it was a little more difficult than usua;. Even the top student in the ss only scored 90 marks.
How awesome was Mu Xiaoxiao to be able to score a perfect score?
The English teacher didn¡¯t look too good at the shouting andmotion below the podium.
The papers had all been marked, and the highest scorer in Year One was in his ss.
However, he was not happy at all.
This was because the person with the highest score just had to be the student he disliked and the one who opposed him the most ¡ª Mu Xiaoxiao.
Also, he had even hinted and mocked that Mu Xiaoxiao, who was good at oralmunication, may not score well in written examinations.
Now that she had scored a perfect score, wasn¡¯t it a huge p to his face?
How could he be happy about it?
The English teacher¡¯s face turned sour as he saw the numerous people surrounding Mu Xiaoxiao. He rapped on the table and said, ¡°Stop the noise! Hurry up and distribute the papers, and remember to check where you went wrong!¡±
After that, he walked out, his expression severe.
Just then, another teacher brushed past him.
This time, the Chinese teacher walked up to the podium with the papers.
A ssmate eximed, ¡°Teacher, you¡¯ve also finished marking the papers? That¡¯s fast!¡±
In contrast to the English teacher, the Chinese teacher¡¯s expression was much gentler. He smiled and said, ¡°Yes. ss President, pleasee up here and help me distribute the papers. Remember to look through where you¡¯ve gone wrong at home tonight, got it?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao, who had looked extremely happy, now looked really somber when after she heard that the papers were going to be given out.
She had a premonition that her score would be really bad!
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little anxious, and she was scared that her other ssmates would see her marks.
She stared at the papers in the ss President¡¯s hand and hesitated. Should she go up and snatch her paper? Should she rummage through the stack for her paper first? Like that, no one would be able to see her score then!
Yes! She would do it!
Just as Mu Xiaoxiao was about to execute her n, the Chinese teacher walked to her desk with a friendly smile.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, work harder next time, okay?¡± the Chinese teacher said in a low voice as he handed over her paper, which had been folded.
Mu Xiaoxiao was delighted and hurriedly pressed her paper firmly onto her desk.
She looked at the Chinese teacher, visibly moved. ¡°Thank you, teacher!¡±
Boohoo, the Chinese teacher was a really good person!

Compared to the English teacher, the Chinese teacher was an angel!
Mu Xiaoxiao felt really touched.
She looked really cute, and the Chinese teacher really wanted to ruffle her hair, but he suppressed the urge. Smiling, he said, ¡°Actually, your thought process andprehension skills are good. You just have to read more books and memorize more texts. After that, you¡¯ll be fine.¡±
It seemed like the Chinese teacher knew that she had just returned from America and was thus a little deficient in Chinese. He understood her situation.
Mu Xiaoxiao was so touched that she literally wanted to leap forward and hug the teacher. She nodded vigorously and said, ¡°Yes, teacher! I will study hard next time!¡±
She swore to herself that she would pay attention in Chinese ss next time!
The Chinese teacher nodded and left.
Yu Zhe looked towards her and touched the paper she was mping down on. ¡°Let me see how you did.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao hid her paper hurriedly. ¡°No!¡±
¡°I¡¯ll let you see mine first then, okay?¡± Yu Zhe showed her his marks. He had a score of 89, which was considered high.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head resolutely. ¡°No! It¡¯s for my eyes only.¡±
She lowered her head and put her paper in her drawer before carefully lifting up a corner.
After seeing her score, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s expression froze.
Even though she had already known that she would score poorly, it still made her feel sad to look at her actual score.
She scored a mere 39 marks!
Alright, 39 was considered quite high for her knowledge level.
Mu Xiaoxiao flipped through her paper and skimmed through it. She found that she had scored the most in readingprehension,position, and some other questions that she had gotten lucky on.
The rest of the paper was littered with red crosses.
Bright red crosses!!
It felt as though each of these crosses were a stab to her chest, and it made her heart run cold.
She was very grateful to the Chinese teacher at this moment.
The teacher was really considerate. He knew that her score was bad, and because he had been afraid of other people seeing it, he had specially picked out her paper from the pile and given it to her personally, even covering her score for her.
Yu Zhe leaned his head forward surreptitiously to peek at her score again.
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to sense it. She lifted her head up and red at him, harrumphing, ¡°Don¡¯t you dare look! I¡¯ll hit you!¡±
Yu Zhe rubbed his nose and smiled. ¡°Okay, okay. How badly did you do to want to hide your score so vehemently?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pretended that she didn¡¯t really care and said, ¡°It¡¯s not that bad. It¡¯s better that I imagined.¡±
Just then, she heard shrieking from outside the door.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t even need to lift her head to know that she it was Yin Shaojie. She stuffed her paper into her bag quickly.
¡°Yu Zhe, bye bye!¡±
The infatuated screams of girls could be heard from outside the door, as expected.
Before Yin Shaojie could enter the ss, Mu Xiaoxiao had already sprinted out. Both of them almost collided with each other.
¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Yin Shaojie asked, puzzled.
¡°Apany me somewhere!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao dragged him along as she ran.
Yin Shaojie asked uprehendingly, ¡°What are you trying to do?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head around and roared rudely, ¡°I already told you to just follow me! Don¡¯t ask anymore! Shut up!¡±
The crowd inhaled as they heard her words.
Mu Xiaoxiao dared to shout at Young Master Jie?!
Was she mad?
Did she think that she could be so arrogant just because Young Master Jie liked and adored her?
The girls stared at Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s silhouette and became riled up. They felt like punishing her for Young Master Jie.

However, what made everyone¡¯s jaw drop was that Yin Shaojie was not angered by her rude remarks at all.
His handsome face even held¡ an adoring smile?
The people around them looked as though they had seen Arabian Nights, and they looked very shocked.
Was this person in front of them the self-centred and tyrannical Young Master Jie?
Yin Shaojie said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Okay, okay, okay, let¡¯s go. Walk a little slower; don¡¯t fall.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to bete! Hurry up!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao dragged him, and the pair were whisked away down the stairs like the wind.
The crowd was left there, stunned.
All of them were dumbfounded.
It was one thing for Young Master Jie to not be upset at Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s rudeness. However, it was another thing for him to concern himself over her safety.
It was really unheard of for Young Master Jie to be so amodating and indulgent towards another person.
The crowd¡¯s jaws were practically on the floor.
Meanwhile.
Mu Xiaoxiao rushed to the teacher¡¯s building as she dragged Yin Shaojie along. She found the office of the math teacher.
Luckily, the math teacher was still there, and he looked like he was tidying up the test papers.
Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedly nudged Yin Shaojie and whispered, ¡°Go there and ask the teacher to take my paper out, mark it, and give it to me now.¡±
Yin Shaojie cocked a brow and looked at her, amused. ¡°Why? Are you scared that you¡¯ll do badly?¡±
¡°It¡¯s worse than bad¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked unhappy.
She had already scored so badly for Chinese, let alone math. She couldn¡¯t even understand the questions and made wild guesses for almost everything. She was really afraid that she hadn¡¯t gotten even a single mark, scoring a zero.
Yin Shaojie was used to seeing her mischievous and full of life. This was his first time seeing her look so unconfident, and it felt a little weird.
He asked seriously, ¡°Did you really do that badly?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her head gloomily. ¡°Math in China is too difficult. There are still a lot of things that haven¡¯t been taught overseas.¡±
Also, she hadn¡¯t been paying attention in ss for the past month that she had returned.
If she had known this was going to happen, she would have paid more attention in ss to avoid it.
Yin Shaojie looked at her sullen expression. He rubbed her head with hisrge hands.
¡°Got it. I¡¯ll help you.¡±
No one liked to be made a fool of, and she was no exception.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes lit up at his promise. She smiled widely. ¡°Okay! Hurry up and do it!¡±
She pushed him closer to the teacher as she said this.
Yin Shaojie turned over. With one hand in his pocket, he looked handsome as he strode slowly over to the teacher.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want the teacher to see her. She hid outside he room and only peeked inside with herrge dark eyes.
Only a few minutes passes before Yin Shaojie walked out with a paper.
Mu Xiaoxiao reached out to grab at it. This was really her paper!
However, it had not been marked or scored.
She asked, puzzled, ¡°Did you not have the teacher mark it?¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled as he said, ¡°Why should it be? Do you really want to know how much you scored?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head hurriedly. ¡°No!¡±
Since she already knew that she was going to score badly, why would she want to know the score?
Mu Xiaoxiao hugged Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm and smiled brightly. ¡°Thanks! I really owe it to you this time, or I¡¯d have lost face.¡±
This was why they said that having special privileges were very useful.

Yin Shaojie looped an arm around her shoulders and led her up the stairs.
He said, ¡°I told the teacher that your academic progress overseas is not up to China¡¯s standard and that she should give you some more time for tutoring.¡±
Upon hearing that she needed tutoring, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but whine. ¡°Do I really need tuition? Can I not? I¡¯ll pay attention in ss in the future; is that enough?¡±
She really didn¡¯t like tutoring. She hated it!
Mu Xiaoxiao felt like going back to America right there and then¡
Yin Shaojie gazed at her with his dark eyes. He looked as if he knew what she was thinking, and said, ¡°What are you thinking about? Are you thinking of going back to America to study?¡±
Thus exposed, Mu Xiaoxiao pouted gloomily. ¡°Actually, I feel that having an overseas education is beneficial¡ It¡¯s just that China¡¯s education attaches too much importance to exams and scores and neglects many other things.¡±
Shangde High actually had a wide range of courses to develop students more holistically.
However, four years of Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s adolescence were spent in America, and she was already used to that type of lifestyle.
Yin Shaojie said to her, ¡°Every education system has its pros and cons. I remember that you were excellent in your studies when we were in elementary school and scored fantastically for every single subject. You¡¯ll be able to score well if you just study hard.¡±
¡°Do I have to?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao frowned and looked at him with herrge, pitiful eyes.
Yin Shaojie looked at her and said, ¡°Don¡¯t you know?¡±
¡°Know what?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled.
Yin Shaojie said a little severely, ¡°Even though ss S is made up of the Year¡¯s students from both the best backgrounds and top scorers, you¡¯ll be kicked out of ss S if your results are too bad, no matter what your background is.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Really?¡±
She recalled the painful 39 marks she had scored and the scoreless math paper.
Even though she had gotten a perfect score for English, the difference in her scores was toorge. Her overall score, when added up, still looked abysmal.
Actually, Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t a person with a lot of pride, and she didn¡¯t feel the need to stay in ss S.
However, as she thought about how she couldn¡¯t be in the same ss as Yu Zhe to talk to or gossip with, she felt a little unhappy.
Also, she didn¡¯t even need to imagine it to know how much the girls in the other sses hated her.
She would probably die if she transferred to another ss.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought of something else and eximed, ¡°Will I be transferred to ss F because of my results?¡±
Yin Shaojie seemed very serious as he said, ¡°It¡¯s a possibility.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened in fright. ¡°I don¡¯t want that! I don¡¯t want to go to ss F!¡±
She didn¡¯t care that ss F was the ss with the worst reputation, but she was worried about the students inside.
They said that ss F consisted of students who didn¡¯t like to study, had bad personal habits, and had vile attitudes. They were all from nouveau riche backgrounds and had been able to obtain a ce here through money.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to go to a ss like that!
Yin Shaojie smirked as he ced his arms around her neck. ¡°You should study hard then. If you don¡¯t score well for the next tests¡ I won¡¯t be able to help you,¡± he said frighteningly.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. ¡°Then do I¡ look for the teacher for tutoring?¡±
Her eyes lit up suddenly, and she snapped her fingers. ¡°Oh yeah! I can look for Lu Yichen! He¡¯s the top student, so he should have some secret form for studying¡¡±

She felt a threatening gaze on her before she could finish her sentence.
¡°Who did you say you wanted to look for?¡± a particr demon asked frostily with his pretty lips right beside her ear.
Mu Xiaoxiao shrank back. She had the feeling that he was going to bite her ear.
¡°Who do you suggest I look for then¡¡±
Yin Shaojie pointed to himself and said a single word, ¡°Me.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused before she erupted inughter and pushed his chest with a finger mockingly.
¡°You? Forget it! How good are your results? Don¡¯t think that I haven¡¯t guessed what you¡¯re nning!¡±
This jerk must be using the excuse of trying to teach her tuition to fool around with her, right?
She wasn¡¯t going to fall for it!
Yin Shaojie gathered her into his arms and pulled her close. His dark eyes narrowed and looked unhappy as he said, ¡°Why? Do you really think that my results are that bad? That I¡¯m not even qualified to tutor you?¡±
She could feel the demon about to rage.
Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedughed and said, ¡°Of course not¡ I didn¡¯t say that! I just feel that¡ there¡¯s no need to trouble you. Anyway, even if your results are good, it doesn¡¯t guarantee that you¡¯ll be able to teach well. Also, I don¡¯t want a person whocks patience to tuition me.¡±
If she wasn¡¯t able to understand the material taught and he didn¡¯t have enough patience, what would happen if she got scolded?
Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to avoid this. She didn¡¯t want the both of them to fight and be upset with each other.
Most importantly, she didn¡¯t want to expose all her ws in front of him!
¡°Humph, this isn¡¯t something that¡¯s up to you!¡± Yin Shaojie said bullyingly as he led her to the carpark, not allowing her the chance to reject him.
Just as Mu Xiaoxiao was about to enter the car, she paused suddenly.
Eh?
Why did she feel like she had forgotten something?
¡°What¡¯s up? Sit down!¡± Yin Shaojie had already settled into the driver¡¯s seat and was looking at her and hurrying her.
¡°No, wait¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao, who already had one foot in the car, stepped out again.
She cupped her chin with her right hand and held her right arm with her left hand as she thought hard about what she had forgotten.
Yin Shaojie came out from the car, frowning. ¡°What are you doing? Hurry up and get in!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao spread her arms out. ¡°Stop shouting! I¡¯m about to remember it¡¡±
Just then, her phone rang.
Mu Xiaoxiao dug out her phone from her bag swiftly and saw that the caller was Han Qiqing.
She had a suddenly revtion. ¡°I remember now! I agreed to watch Lu Yichen¡¯s match with Qiqing!¡±
Upon hearing this, Yin Shaojie cursed softly under his breath, ¡°Sh*t!¡±
He had originally wanted to take her home directly while she was still in a daze.
Mu Xiaoxiao ignored him and picked up the call.
Han Qiqing¡¯s voice rang out from her phone in a worried tone. ¡°Xiaoxiao? Hasn¡¯t your ss been released? Hurry up; the match is about to start!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao answered, ¡°Okay, okay, okay, I¡¯ming right now!¡±
Yin Shaojie was frowning even deeper now. He mmed the car door shut and walked to her side.
¡°Are you really going to watch that fellow¡¯s match?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him. ¡°I¡¯ve already promised Qiqing that I would in the afternoon. Anyway¡ I¡¯m only going there to cheer a friend on, and nothing¡¯s going to happen. Do you really have to be jealous about something like this too?¡±
Also, she remembered that she owed Lu Yichen once when she didn¡¯t turn up for his match previously, and so she agreed to watch him this time round.

Yin Shaojie was silent, but his expression looked even darker.
Mu Xiaoxiao clung to his side hurriedly and hugged his arm. ¡°How about youe too? Don¡¯t guys usually like to watch basketball matches? You can take this chance to cheer Yichen on too.¡±
¡°Who wants to cheer him on? I won¡¯t go!¡± Yin Shaojie was obviously upset now and shook her hand off.
Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed. ¡°Never mind if you don¡¯t go then! I¡¯ll just go there myself!¡±
She turned to leave as she said this, ignoring him.
Yin Shaojie stood at his original spot and didn¡¯t chase after her.
However, his dark, severe gaze were locked on her disappearing figure.
He watched her walk away happily into the distance.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s fury finally erupted, and he kicked the tire of his sports car.
¡°D*mn it!¡±
¡
At the basketball stadium.
The crowd inside was positively buzzing.
A nce showed a sea of human heads. The crowd was immense.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked all over the ce but only ended up feeling dizzy and was unable to locate where Han Qiqing was.
Shoot, she had forgotten to ask Qiqing where she was.
There were so many people here that she didn¡¯t know who to ask for help.
More importantly, girls made up the majority here. Mu Xiaoxiao knew that as the girl¡¯s Public Enemy No.1, none of them would be willing to tell her the information even if she asked.
She had no choice but to call Han Qiqing again.
Her phone emitted a nice holding tune while she waited¡
However, Han Qiqing was still not picking up even after the tune had ended.
The phone disconnected after being unable to reach her.
¡°Qiqing, what are you doing! Pick up your phone!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao had heard an announcement that was announcing the start of the match, so she was really anxious now.
The cheerleaders nearby had already started to wave their pom-poms around to cheer Lu Yichen on.
Helpless, Mu Xiaoxiao could only send Qiqing a voice message.
On the other hand, in the holding room of the stadium.
Han Qiqing was together with Lu Yichen. They were talking as they walked towards the benches.
A boy from the basketball team said to Han Qiqing respectfully, ¡°Miss Qiqing, your phone was ringing earlier on.¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s bag was on the bench. She had been looking for Lu Yichen hastily before and had dumped her phone in there.
She suddenly remembered something. ¡°It must be Xiaoxiao, but she doesn¡¯t know where we are.¡±
Upon hearing her words, Lu Yichen¡¯s eyes lit up a little. ¡°Xiaoxiao¡¯s here?¡±
Han Qiqing nodded. ¡°Yeah, I called her just now. She said she wasing.¡±
Lu Yichen looked at his teammates. ¡°You can go out first; I¡¯ll be going out and wille back soon.¡±
He rushed out, not even bothering to bid Han Qiqing goodbye.
¡°Oi! Yichen, wait for me! I¡¯ming with you too!¡±
However, when Han Qiqing started to chase after him, she was already way behind him as he had longer legs and she had shorter ones.
Therge stadium seemed to be packed with people.
They were ying a basketball match against Second High this time. Thus, there were Shangde students sitting on one side and Second High students sitting on the other.
Lu Yichen swept his gaze across the stadium and locked in on its entrance.
He didn¡¯t seem to stop as he walked to the entrance directly.
It looked as if there was something leading him there.
Meanwhile, Mu Xiaoxiao was still waiting for Han Qiqing¡¯s reply at the entrance of the stadium. Her eyes roved around the ce as she studied it.
However, there was just too much traffic.

Even though Mu Xiaoxiao had tried to stand along the walls, she still almost collided into someone.
Luckily, a pair of muscr arms stabilized her when she was caught off guard.
¡°Sorry, sorry.¡± The person who knocked into her rushed past as though they had something important to do and disappeared right after apologizing.
¡°Are you okay?¡± A low, calm voice rang beside her ear.
Mu Xiaoxiao froze. She lifted her gaze and met Lu Yichen¡¯s eyes.
¡°This is great!¡± She came back to her senses and jumped up and down.
Afraid that she would fall from this vigorous action, he stuck an arm out into the space beside her. ¡°What¡¯s great?¡± he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao grinned broadly. She thought that Qiqing had asked Lu Yichen to look for her after she had heard her WeChat message.
¡°You found me!¡± She said happily.
Lu Yichen usually cold gaze looked amused now. ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ve found you.¡±
Just then, there was a re of trumpets, signaling the start of the match.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him worriedly. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to y soon? Hurry up and go!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go. Be careful.¡±
Lu Yichen urged her with concern. He walked in front of her, and she followed behind him.
The girls who on the stadium seats and the cheerleaders nearby all saw Mu Xiaoxiao and Lu Yichen together.
They all red at Mu Xiaoxiao with hatred.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao is too much! She already has Young Master Jie but is still trying to seduce Senior Yichen.¡±
¡°I know, right? How slutty can she get?¡±
¡°I¡¯m so mad! I feel so angry just looking at her. Look, Senior Yichen treats her so well, and he looks like he¡¯s going to bring her to a front seat.¡±
Suddenly, under all the pushing and shoving, someone threw an object at Mu Xiaoxiao.
When Lu Yichen was bringing Mu Xiaoxiao over to her seat, his peripheral vision caught the flying object.
The unknown object was immediately hit away by him.
¡°Who threw that!¡± he bellowed.
The crowd, who had been noisy, suddenly quietened down.
All the girls tried to look innocent. They shook their heads to show that it wasn¡¯t them.
No one was willing to admit to this, of course.
There were even some people who wanted to join in upon seeing that someone had already thrown something at Mu Xiaoxiao. They thought that since there were so many people, no one would know who had thrown the objects even if they hit Mu Xiaoxiao.
However, no one dared to do it under such circumstances.
This was especially so for Lu Yichen¡¯s fans. Even though they were very familiar with him, they had never seen him act so coldly and harshly before, and they were so scared by him that they were frozen to the spot.
Han Qiqing ran over as well. Standing beside Mu Xiaoxiao, she swept a nce across all the girls on the seats.
¡°Who threw that! Come out this instant! So you dare to throw it but won¡¯t admit to it, huh?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao tugged at her sleeve hastily. ¡°Alright, enough. Thepetition is about to start; let¡¯s not hinder it. They won¡¯t dare to do it again.¡±
Han Qiqing tutted coldly. She warned the girls, ¡°Let me tell you something. Don¡¯t think that you¡¯ll be able to get away scot-free just because you didn¡¯t admit to it. Do you see what¡¯s there?¡±
She pointed towards a camera at the corner of the stadium.
The girls inhaled. They had obviously forgotten that there were cameras in the basketball stadium.
Han Qiqing spread her arms wide as she looked at them with contempt. ¡°When thepetition ends, I¡¯ll be extracting the video feed. I will catch the culprit!¡±

Amongst the crowd, someone¡¯s face paled instantly.
Mu Xiaoxiao tugged on Han Qiqing¡¯s hand and pulled her down to their seats.
¡°Alright, we¡¯ll talk about this after thepetition.¡±
She was angry too, of course.
Anyone would be if they were the subject of someone else¡¯s plot.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to hinder the performance and tarnish Shangde¡¯s reputation.
It was only then that Han Qiqing looked away. However, she still said indignantly, ¡°Those girls are too much! Xiaoxiao, did you see what the person threw? Take a look yourself!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked in the direction where she was pointing. She paused.
It was a power bank!
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart ran cold.
If that had hit her head then¡ she didn¡¯t what would happen to her!
Han Qiqing said angrily, ¡°Let her wait! I¡¯ll extract the video feed once thepetition ends. I¡¯ll definitely find out who did this!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to think of something suddenly and stood up abruptly. She then sprinted over to where Lu Yichen was and held his hand up anxiously.
¡°Is your hand okay?¡±
Lu Yichen smiled a little and withdrew his hand. He didn¡¯t mind blocking the object for her at all. ¡°I¡¯m okay,¡± he said.
¡°Are you really okay? Wasn¡¯t the object that was flying over heavy?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was still worried. She wanted to examine his arm, but Lu Yichen put it behind his back.
He shook his head as he said, ¡°I¡¯m really alright. Stay here and watch the match. I need to report for the game now.¡±
He turned to leave after that.
Han Qiqing was a little slow on the uptake. She was so worried for Mu Xiaoxiao earlier that she had forgotten to see if Lu Yichen had been hurt.
¡°How is he? Is he injured?¡± Han Qiqing asked after Mu Xiaoxiao came back.
Mu Xiaoxiao was frowning and looked as if she wasn¡¯tpletely at ease.
However, she shook her head at Han Qiqing as she said, ¡°He said he¡¯s fine, so I guess he¡¯s fine.¡±
Han Qiqing became worried too. ¡°Oh yeah! I saw that he used his right hand to block it just now¡ would it affect thepetition?¡±
¡°I hope not,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao replied. Her gaze was fixated on Lu Yichen¡¯s worriedly. If something happened to him, she wanted to be the first one to know it.
Thepetition began soon after.
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t usually interested in basketball, she could still understand the game.
Moreover, this was a match between her school and another school, and it was inevitable that she would be engrossed in the game and hope that her school woulde out victorious.
Ten minutes passed, and both teams were ying a very intense game.
However, a conflicted gradually developed between the both sides.
Beside her, Han Qiqing said angrily, ¡°The Second High team are ying dirty! How could they shove people like that!¡±
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t that against the rules?¡±
¡°It¡¯s hard to say. It doesn¡¯t count if the referee doesn¡¯t see it,¡± Han Qiqing said gloomily.
Apparently, the referee didn¡¯t see it, and thus there wasn¡¯t any penalty dealt.
These conflicts,bined with the youthful vigor of the boys, were intolerable.
Gradually, the conflicts worsened.
At the end of the first half, Second High took the lead at 5 points, but Second High had yers who were red-carded and sent off the court.
The Second High team were indignant. They surrounded the referee to try to get him to rethink his decision. They were really fierce and made a huge mor, but it was useless.
The boys from the teams were sitting on the resting area right in front of the girls. They were sweating buckets and looked really tired.

In contrast, Lu Yichen, with his cool countenance, still looked fresh and clean even though he had sweat till the back of his shirt was soaked.
Han Qiqing stood up. She held onto the railing and peeked out, looking at Lu Yichen worriedly.
However, the basketball coach was holding a meeting with the team, and she didn¡¯t dare to interrupt them.
After the coach had finished speaking, he let the team go back in to rest.
Anyway, there was a 15-minute break between the halves.
As the team trickled back in, Han Qiqing hurriedly leaned outwards and shouted to Lu Yichen, ¡°Lu Yichen, are you alright?¡±
Lu Yichen¡¯s teammate elbowed him teasingly. ¡°Someone¡¯s concerned about you.¡±
Lu Yichen was wiping his face with a towel as he looked up at her. ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± he answered mildly.
After that, he turned his gaze to Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled at him and pumped a fist into the air. ¡°All the best!¡±
Lu Yichen smiled and nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±
The next half of the match was even more intense.
Han Qiqing looked at Mu Xiaoxiao, her face displeased. ¡°Look at those people from Second High. They all look so fierce. They look like they¡¯re out to fight, not y.¡±
¡°Yeah, I think so too.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement.
While the both of them were talking, they didn¡¯t realize the Second High team members looking over at them.
Everyone had witnessed how Lu Yichen had protect Mu Xiaoxiao earlier.
Thus, they knew that Mu Xiaoxiao must be someone who was really important to him.
The students from Second High were oblivious to her rtionship with Yin Shaojie and naturally just assumed that Mu Xiaoxiao was probably Lu Yichen¡¯s girlfriend.
On the court, the two teams were engaged in a fervent match.
The team from Second High exchanged nces with one another. When the basketball shot up, a person suddenly jumped up and hit it out of the court forcefully.
Lu Yichen¡¯s gaze had always been on the ball. When he realized who the ball was heading towards, his gaze wavered.
¡°Xiaoxiao ¡ª ¡±
However, it was toote.
Han Qiqing was frozen to the spot in fear. She grasped Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand tightly and could only watch as the basketball flew towards Mu Xiaoxiao at lightning speed.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at the basketball. She was so scared that she only had time to close her eyes.
¡°m!¡± A booming noise resounded.
Just as the entire stadium was holding their breath, the basketball was hit back to the court and bounced on the ground.
¡°Wa ¡ª It¡¯s Young Master Jie!¡±
The pain Mu Xiaoxiao had expected didn¡¯te to her, but instead, she heard this shout. She opened her eyes suddenly and was greeted by Yin Shaojie¡¯s face right in front of hers.
Uh¡ He looked very displeased.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t only look displeased but green with fury!
Mu Xiaoxiao met his dark gaze and felt safe and protected. It was only then that she felt her fear, and a wet film began to form in her eyes.
¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you weren¡¯ting?¡± she said aggressively as though she wasining about him.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s lips twitched as he sneered. ¡°May I note just because I said that I wouldn¡¯t? Does your family own this stadium?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted in response.
Yeah, yeah, she knew his family owned this stadium.
She reached out and tried to pull him to her, but he seemed to avoid her hand purposely, causing her to grasp at air.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt even worse. ¡°Are you angry?¡±
¡°No,¡± Yin Shaojie replied quickly, but he seemed really cold.

There was not a hint of a smile that could be seen on the fine-looking face of his.
And he said that he wasn¡¯t angry. Yeah right.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and apologized, ¡°Okay, it¡¯s my fault¡¡±
Actually, it was only a game; the two could talk nicely about it.
Though Yin Shaojie tended to be quite bossy, he would usually amodate her. And if she would only plead him a little more or butter him up, he would still give in to her in the end.
Yin Shaojie snorted through his nose, and he pinched her face. ¡°Do you really feel that you were at fault?¡±
Though it was clearly written on her expression: ¡°It¡¯s your fault too. I¡¯m not the only one to me.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pulled a big smile, and she suddenly threw herself at him, hugging his waist.
¡°I¡¯m sorry. So are we good now?¡±
Suddenly, there was quarreling on the basketball court.
¡°Second High is too despicable!¡± Shangde¡¯s basketball team shouted angrily.
But the people of Second Highughed, acting flippantly as if it wasn¡¯t a big deal.
¡°That¡¯s to be expected, right? After all, the ball has no eyes. Do you think that I can control where it flies?¡±
¡°Exactly, if we could control it, then we would make it fly directly into the basket. What game would there be left to y then, funny!¡±
¡°If she were to be hit, then it¡¯s just her bad luck, who are you gonna me?¡±
¡°Ha ha ha ha, exactly!¡±
The students from Second High had even broke out intoughter shamelessly.
These words angered the people from Shangde. One of them was so angry that he wanted to rush over to hit them, but he was held back by his teammates.
However, Lu Yichen walked over with a somber face.
Right in front of the puzzled audience, his fist swiftly swung toward the man who had just sent the ball flying at Mu Xiaoxiao.
The man fell to the ground from the hit. He even spitted out blood.
The members of the Shangde basketball team were shocked and looked at Lu Yichen incredulously.
No one had expected that he would suddenly hit someone.
Because he is Lu Yichen!
The calmest and mostposed Lu Yichen!
Thus, when they saw him walking toward the Second High team, the yers did not even think about stopping him because everyone knew that he was the mostposed and would not act impulsively.
Little did they expect that the mostposed person would actually hit someone impulsively!
Although the yers felt that the punch was cathartic, after they recovered from their shock, they still quickly went up to pull back Lu Yichen.
A whistle sounded, and the referee gave Lu Yichen a red card.
Shangde¡¯s yers were in a state of disarray as they quickly held the referee in an attempt to appeal for Lu Yichen.
But Lu Yichen shook his head at them. ¡°Forget it.¡±
Obviously, when he struck the other person, he had already imagined things would end up like this.
¡°y well. You must win!¡± Lu Yichen patted the shoulders of the yers.
At this moment, suddenly a haughty voice came from the side. ¡°I want toe down and y. Is that okay?¡±
The crowd looked over to Yin Shaojie in amazement.
NANI?!
Young Master Jie ising to y basketball?!
Yin Shaojie patted Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s small head, taking a good look at her stunned expression before he stepped forward and flipped himself over from the railing.
He walked up to Lu Yichen. With an unbridled smile and a serious gaze, he said, ¡°Lend me a jersey.¡±
With that said, he crossed his arms and took off his shirt, revealing his strong chest muscles.
¡°Ah¡ª¡±
The girls on the seats shrieked.
Chapter 460 - Strong Possessiveness
Chapter 460: Strong Possessiveness
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Though Yin Shaojie had been in Shangde for so many years, he had never once exposed his body.
But in spite of this, just by looking at him with his clothes on, those infatuated girls could still fantasize about how he would look like with his clothes off.
However, whatever their fantasies were, they could not bepared to seeing it with their own eyes.
The girls were practically mad!
It didn¡¯t matter that most of those girls hade to see Lu Yichen.
But upon seeing Yin Shaojie¡¯s perfect model-like figure, his strong arms, pectorals, abs, and his wonderful skin color¡
The girls almost turned into wolves as they could hardly stop themselves from throwing themselves at him to lick him!
Even the girls from Second High were turning their heads in fascination. They were love-struck as they stared at Yin Shaojie, refusing to even blink.
Holding his t-shirt, Yin Shaojie smiled as he walked to the railing. He threw the t-shirt, and itnded right on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s head.
¡°Hold on to it for me,¡± he said with his maic voice.
At this moment, his every move was so dashing and charming, rousing a wave of screams from the girls.
Seeing that he had actually thrown the shirt to Mu Xiaoxiao, the girls were envious and hateful.
Young Master Jie¡¯s clothes!
How they wished they could get it too!
The girls were obsessed from just the thought of being able to smell Yin Shaojie¡¯s scent, and they stared at Mu Xiaoxiao with greater resentment.
Mu Xiaoxiao pulled the T-shirt from her face, revealing her serious face.
She red angrily at Yin Shaojie.
She pouted and grumbled, ¡°Get on the court if you want, but why do you have to take off your clothes¡ Only caring about acting cool. Bastard!¡±
Han Qiqing grinned when she heard her muttering. ¡°Xiaoxiao, are you jealous?¡±
¡°Why would I be jealous!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shot back at her.
But in that moment, she wished she could cover up all the girls¡¯ eyes so that they could not see Yin Shaojie¡¯s naked upper body.
Mu Xiaoxiao was feeling more and more sour inside.
She hadn¡¯t known that her possessiveness toward Yin Shaojie had already grown so strong.
Just seeing other girls looking at his body made her so mad.
¡°Qiqing, don¡¯t look at it!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said in a huff as she reached out her hand to cover Han Qiqing¡¯s eyes.
Han Qiqing joked, ¡°You¡¯re not jealous of me too, are you?¡±
¡°If you want to look, look at Lu Yichen then, don¡¯t you like him?¡±
Hearing this, Han Qiqing sighed and said, ¡°I want to, but he¡¯s not going to take off his clothes for me to see. What can I do¡¡±
As they were talking, the excited voicesing from other girls behind them were simply unbearable.
¡°My God! It was totally worth iting today! I actually got to see Young Master Jie¡¯s body! I¡¯m going crazy! I¡¯m going crazy!¡±
¡°Young Master Jie has such a nice body. What should I do? I want to go up and lick him!¡±
¡°Hurry up, take a photo with your mobile phone. Then, you can stare at it every night, and you might even dream of Young Master Jie.¡±
¡°Ahhh! I want! I want! I want to lick him even if it¡¯s in a dream!¡±
Upon hearing these words, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s re fixated on Yin Shaojie with even greater rage.
She stood up, ran along the railings, and called out to Yin Shaojie, ¡°Hey! Yin Shaojie!¡±
Just as Yin Shaojie came to a stand still, he saw his t-shirt being thrown back to him.
¡°Put that on! Do you hear me?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao yelled at him in a huff.

Seeing her ck and bright eyes burning with fury, Yin Shaojie¡¯s smile widened.
He picked up the T-shirt, and in a swift motion, he put it on.
¡°Argh¡ª¡±
The girls made sounds of disappointment.
After Yin Shaojie put on his t-shirt, he ran his fingers through his disheveled ck hair, looking uninhibited and wild.
¡°Ah¡ª¡±
The shrill screams of the girls almost overturned the roof of the basketball stadium.
Seeing Yin Shaojie like this, Mu Xiaoxiao was finally satisfied, and she said to him with a raised fist, ¡°You must win, okay! Teach them a lesson!¡±
Yin Shaojie gave a confident smile as if to say that that was precisely the reason that made him decide to get onto the court.
He pressed his finger on his lip and sent her a flying kiss.
The girls behind Mu Xiaoxiao were screaming madly as if the kiss were meant for them.
Yin Shaojie followed Lu Yichen into the lounge to change clothes.
When Mu Xiaoxiao returned to her seat, Han Qiqing hugged her arms and joked, ¡°If it isn¡¯t our Xiaoxiao. Only you can order Yin Shaojie like that.¡±
On the court, the game continued.
Without a good yer like Lu Yichen, the other team chased up to Shangde¡¯s score within a few minutes.
The Second High team were screaming smugly as if they have already won.
A girl from Shangde started shouting, ¡°Just you wait! When Young Master Jie gets on the court, he will definitely beat you into a pulp!¡±
¡°Into a pulp!¡± the girls shouted in unison.
Second High¡¯s cheerleading girls would not be outdone as they shouted in unison, ¡°Second High, Second High, mighty domineering! Team supreme!¡±
At this moment, amongst the Second High crowd, An Zhixin was not looking at the boys from her school, but her eyes were watching closely in the direction wherethat Yin Shaojie had left as if she was awaiting his appearance.
The girl beside her pped her hands and said excitedly, ¡°Zhixin! Did you see that? That is the Young Master Jie of Shangde High. He¡¯s totally handsome! I didn¡¯t expect to get such a wonderful surpriseing to this game! It¡¯s so lucky we came, right?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± An Zhixin nodded absently. All the while, her gaze had not even left the entrance to the lounge.
The girl did not find her acting weird as she continued, saying, ¡°Look, Han Yun¡¯er is here too. Young Master Jie was with her for a while previously, but he got rid of her shortly after. Do you think Han Yun¡¯er is here to rekindle her old me with Young Master Jie?¡±
The girl sitting on her other side said, ¡°Did you not see it? Young Master Jie was acting so intimate with the girl just now. She must be his current girlfriend. There¡¯s no chance for Han Yun¡¯er anymore!¡±
¡°Yeah, I heard that Young Master Jie never goes back to his previous girlfriends. Moreover, he was only ying with Han Yun¡¯er; he didn¡¯t really like her.¡±
¡°The way I see it, Young Master Jie¡¯s current girlfriend is a hundred times better than Han Yun¡¯er! Just look at how pretty that girl is. She exudes ssiness from head to toe. If she can study at Shangde, she must be a wealthy family¡¯s rich young missy. How can Han Yun¡¯er hold a candle to her?¡±
¡°Exactly, Han Yun¡¯er wears such heavy makeup, and she¡¯s the school beauty? If it wasn¡¯t for her rtionship with Young Master Jie, how could she even be Second High¡¯s school beauty?¡±
An Zhixin reminded them, ¡°Quiet down, Han Yun¡¯er is looking over here.¡±
The girls sitting next to her were frightened and immediately shut up, looking timidly in Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s direction.

Just then, the people on the seats roared with excitement.
It turned out that Yin Shaojie hade out in his jersey.
So dashing!
It was even a first for the girls at Shangde to see Young Master Jie wearing a basketball jersey. All of them seemed like they were crazy as they took photos incessantly with their phones.
Sitting at the front, Mu Xiaoxiao heard the harsh screams of the girls behind her, and she could not help but pick her ears.
She couldn¡¯t refrain from criticizing them, saying, ¡°Haven¡¯t these girls ever seen a man? Do they have to exaggerate so much?¡±
Though she also felt that Yin Shaojie was very handsome in in the jersey, it had a different feel to it than usual.
How so?
It was a little more wild and mboyant, making his charm even more deadly.
Han Qiqing joked, ¡°It¡¯s not that I haven¡¯t seen a man, but I have never seen such a handsome man. What can I do? Yin Shaojie is just a devil. You will have to get used to it gradually.¡±
Honestly, even Han Qiqing, who often joked, had to admit that Yin Shaojie looked really handsome. It was a kind of willful and unbridled handsomeness.
At this time, the score on the court changed.
Second High led by two points.
Though it was only two points, half the time had already passed in the second half of the match.
No one knew what the final result would be.
Shangde shouted for a time out to substitute Yin Shaojie with one of the forwards.
As soon as Yin Shaojie was seen getting onto the court, the girls on the seats started screaming again, and the cheerleaders in the front row also spared no effort in their cheers.
¡°Let¡¯s go, Young Master Jie! You gotta beat them!¡±
Just when the Shangde was growing impassioned, a voice suddenly rang from the side of Second High.
¡°¡ªYin Shaojie!¡±
Because it was more abrupt, it attracted everyone¡¯s attention in an instant.
Of course, it caught Yin Shaojie¡¯s attention too.
Looking in the direction of the sound, Yin Shaojie did not expect that he would see An Zhixin.
An Zhixin couldn¡¯t be bothered with how the others from Second High were staring at her as she stood against the railing, leaning her body over.
Seeing Yin Shaojie looking at her, she couldn¡¯t refrain herself from beaming. It was as if in this moment, there was only Yin Shaojie and her in the whole stadium, just like in the TV dramas.
Her heart felt as though there was a cat scratching it, jolting, and thumping wildly.
¡°Shaojie! Come on!¡± An Zhixin was all smiles as she strained her voice shouting.
However, Yin Shaojie looked away only after a short nce at her.
But this time, An Zhixin didn¡¯t take it to heart. It was as if the fleeting nce that they had exchanged was already enough to satisfy her.
Just as she sat back into her seat, the girl next to her grabbed her hand.
¡°Zhixin, do you know Young Master Jie?¡± the girl asked in amazement.
An Zhixin pursed her lips, smiling proudly as she said. ¡°I know him. He is my friend.¡±
As soon as this was said, several girls in the same ss as her gasped; they were all stupefied.
¡°Zhixin, you¡¯re amazing! How did you know Young Master Jie? Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡±
An Zhixin lowered her head and said embarrassedly, ¡°I don¡¯t want to be too high-profile¡ We¡¯re just ordinary friends. We¡¯re not boyfriend and girlfriend.¡±
¡°It¡¯s already amazing to be ordinary friends!¡±
¡°Yeah! That is Young Master Jie. THE Young Master Jie of Shangde! Many people who want to curry favor with him don¡¯t even have a chance to.¡±
¡°Zhixin, just how did you get to know him? I also want to get to know Young Master Jie. Can you introduce me? It¡¯s fine even if it is only to get acquainted with him.¡±

An Zhixin nced shyly at the girl as she swept a piece of hair from her temple to the back of her ear. She paused before saying, ¡°This¡ I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s possible. Can we wait until he finishes the game?¡±
¡°Hehe, I¡¯ll take that as a promise then!¡±
From then on, those girls paid the match no attention and instead badgered An Zhixin with questions about Yin Shaojie.
Upon hearing how convincing An Zhixin was, their belief that An Zhixin and Yin Shaojie were friends grew even stronger.
An Zhixin was enjoying the ttering and ingratiating attitudes of her ssmates, which she had never experienced before.
It was at this moment that she understood how Han Yun¡¯er had felt.
She couldn¡¯t help but think that if this was the treatment orded to her when she was seen as Yin Shaojie¡¯s friend, how would she be treated if he was his girlfriend then? Wouldn¡¯t she be¡
An Zhixin couldn¡¯t help but to feel on cloud nine as she thought about how everyone would go out of their way to please her.
Her heated and infatuated gaze fell on Yin Shaojie and was locked upon his figure once more.
Meanwhile, directly opposite An Zhixin.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked unhappy. She had never imagined that An Zhixin would be here.
Han Qiqingined, ¡°Why is this girl in our school? Is she a student at Second High? She¡¯s absolutely shameless! Did you hear how she called Yin Shaojie ¡°Shaojie¡± just now? I got goosebumps just hearing it!¡±
Han Qiqing was a few sentences in before she saw the odd look on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face.
¡°Xiaoxiao?¡± She nudged Mu Xiaoxiao and looked at her worriedly. ¡°Are you okay? Don¡¯t mind her. How effective can her schemes be, anyway? Look, even Yin Shaojie is ignoring her.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned and said a little angrily, ¡°I¡¯m only unhappy at how she acted earlier.¡±
She had acted as if she was very familiar with Yin Shaojie, going so far as to scream Yin Shaojie¡¯s name to cheer for him in front of so many people.
Yin Shaojie had ignored An Zhixin then.
However, other people would mistake the rtionship between her and Yin Shaojie.
Han Qiqing didn¡¯t know what to say to her. She could only hug her arm, and she replied, ¡°Let¡¯s watch the match first; it¡¯s what¡¯s more important now. Ignore the irrelevant things.¡±
Yeah! She would be able to distract herself and stop thinking about unhappy things if she focused on watching the game.
¡°Xiaoxiao, watch the match and don¡¯t think of anything else anymore!¡±
The match was really intense at that moment.
The team from Second High originally paid Yin Shaojie no mind when he first entered the court.
All of them thought that Yin Shaojie was probably a rich young scion who did nothing but enjoy the pleasures of life everyday. How good could he be at basketball?
However, they were proven wrong in less than a minute.
The ball was in the possession a Second High team member when the match started again. However, Yin Shaojie seemed like a ghost as he managed to steal the ball sessfully from him after only hovering in front of him for two seconds.
Yin Shaojie then sprinted to the hoop in a sh as though there was no one else but him.
He jumped up coolly, and with a push of his elegant fingers, the orange basketball made a beautiful arc though the air.
The basketball then went right into the hoop!
¡°Woah ¡ª ¡± The entire stadium was in an uproar. The girls were screaming excitedly, and they couldn¡¯t believe their eyes.
More importantly, that was a three-pointer!
Thus, this one shot not only evened out their score with Second High but also put them one point ahead of thetter.
The people who were originally worried for the Shangde team looked at one another before beaming excitedly.
They had never known that Young Master Jie was this good!
How could they lose with him around?
The spirits of their team were raised, and the match continued even more intensely.
Shangde kept scoring, and Second High kept falling behind.
Chapter 464 - Young Master Jie, the Lord of Darkness
Chapter 464: Young Master Jie, the Lord of Darkness
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
As long as the ball was in Yin Shaojie¡¯s hands, he was able to score easily, no matter how many people surrounded him.
Thus, the majority of Shangde¡¯s score was contributed by Yin Shaojie.
Did Yin Shaojie get into the court just to score points for his school?
Of course not!
Yin Shaojie looked up. A team member from Second High wanted to tackle him when the ball was rebounding. However, Yin Shaojie not only avoided the attack miraculously, but he also used the momentum to take the both of them to the floor, and he also gave a heavy knee to his opponent¡¯s abdomen.
The person grunted and almost fainted from the pain, seeing stars.
To others, this scene looked like an ident because Yin Shaojie had been unable to control his body when he fell.
Yeah, it was only an ident!
Thus, even if Second Highined, the referee didn¡¯t give Yin Shaojie a penalty.
During a basketball match, it wasmon for bodies to knock against each other. This was especially so when yers tried to catch a ball that was rebounding, which would increase the chance of this happening.
To the referee, Second High had failed to prevent the rebounding ball from being caught, causing both of them to fall.
The whistle blew, and the match continued.
The Second High team were furious and red daggers at Yin Shaojie. They looked as if they didn¡¯t care about anything else ¡ª the match wasn¡¯t important anymore; they must destroy him!
Yin Shaojie stood there, proud and smirking, ring at them disdainfully.
His attitude angered the Second High team even more.
They exchanged nces with one another, nning to attack Yin Shaojie together.
At this moment, they didn¡¯t care whether they would break the rules anymore.
Even if one of them got a red card, it would be worth it if they could injure Yin Shaojie!
Fury had clouded their judgment.
This time, Shangde kicked off the match with the ball. Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t the one who was handling the ball, but the Second High team focused all their attention on him.
Yin Shaojie looked at them scornfully. With his eyes, he signaled his teammate to pass the ball to him.
His teammate looked a little hesitant, but under Yin Shaojie¡¯s frosty gaze, he had no choice but to pass the ball over.
When the Second High team saw that the ball was now in his hands, they rushed over madly.
Yin Shaojie dodged the first person miraculously.
In front of him, there was someone who wanted to trip him up.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s dark eyes shed coldly. He didn¡¯t hesitate to step on his opponent¡¯s foot as he jumped up into the air.
The person screamed in pain and hugged his injured foot in a fetal position.
¡°You ¡ª I will kill you!¡± the Second High team roared. They didn¡¯t look like they were only going to snatch the ball now; it looked like they were out to fight him.
However, Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t stop. Even thought= someone was injured, the match was still going since the referee didn¡¯t blow his whistle.
He didn¡¯t even nce at the people who came towards him with their fists out. He stepped aside, sprinted to the hoop, and threw the ball in.
¡°AH ¡ª¡±
The voices of the girls resounded throughout the stadium once more.
After that, no matter how fierce or aggressive the Second High team was towards Yin Shaojie, he always had a way to get back at them that was within the rules, and at the same time, he would score points.
The scoreboard kept changing but only on Shangde¡¯s side. The score for Second High remained stagnant.
There was only one minute left to the match, but the scores for both teams were already double the difference!
At this moment, Yin Shaojie stood proudly in the court like a king as he gazed at the Second High team disdainfully.
The girls in the spectator¡¯s seats were going crazy over Yin Shaojie, who looked like a lord of darkness.

No one knew who started it.
The Shangde students started to chant enthusiastically.
¡°Yin Shaojie! Yin Shaojie! Yin Shaojie! Yin Shaojie!¡±
These three words echoed around the entire stadium like a magic chant.
On the other hand.
The Second High team had long lost their spirit, and everyone was injured in some way or another.
They had never imagined that someone would beat them at their dirty game and be better at it too!
The Second High team looked like dogs with their tails between their legs.
In thest minute, Yin Shaojie scored two more times effortlessly as though he was ying at home.
The time was up, and the match ended!
The referee stood in the middle of the court and announced, ¡°Shangde High is the winner of thispetition!¡±
The Shangde side of the stadium stood up and pped excitedly.
The coach and Lu Yichen looked at Yin Shaojie from the side before looking at each other with a tacit understanding.
The coach knew that what he was going to suggest was impossible, but he couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°If Young Master Jie were willing to join the basketball team, we will probably be able to win nationals¡¡±
Lu Yichen smiled lightly as he looked at his coach. ¡°You know that that¡¯s impossible.¡±
Who could convince someone such as Young Master Jie to do anything?
However, this incident surprised Lu Yichen. He had never known that Yin Shaojie was that good at basketball.
Lu Yichen¡¯s opinion towards Yin Shaojie was changing.
The coach sighed a little ruefully even though he already knew that it was impossible. He patted Lu Yichen¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Good work.¡±
In the middle of the court, the other Shangde teammates were whooping in delight.
If he was any other person, Yin Shaojie, as the person who had the most credit for the team¡¯s victory, would have been lifted up by everyone while they hollered their victory.
However, he was Yin Shaojie! No one dared to do that to him.
Instead, his teammates only surrounded him and praised him to high heavens.
Han Qiqing dragged Mu Xiaoxiao down from the spectator seats. She stood beside Lu Yichen and smiled at him. ¡°Lu Yichen, congrattions!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s gaze was on Yin Shaojie, who was surrounded by his teammates. Her mouth twitched as she hesitated whether she should go over.
Just then, Yin Shaojie pushed the crowd around him away and walked towards her.
He smirked bewitchingly and smoothed his sweaty bangs. ¡°I¡¯ve won. Do you not have anything to tell me?¡± he said to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked over at An Zhixin¡¯s direction. She noticed that An Zhixin had alsoe down from the spectator seats and was walking towards them.
She felt a little upset again.
Was An Zhixin trying toe over to congratte Yin Shaojie?
Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed. ¡°So what if you win then?¡±
Yin Shaojie hadn¡¯t see what was going on behind him, but he had already noticed that his girl seemed a little unhappy.
¡°What? I¡¯ve already won, but you¡¯re still unhappy?¡±
¡°No, I¡¯m happy,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao mumbled gloomily.
However, her little face didn¡¯t look happy.
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes and suddenly remembered the existence of An Zhixin. He remembered Mu Xiaoxiao looking behind him, and he understood what happened as he connected the dots.
Was this girl jealous?
Yin Shaojie was extremely happy. His sexy lips curled up in a smile.
¡°Come over. I want my reward.¡± Yin Shaojie beckoned to her, his gaze and manner deathly mesmerizing.
Even though thepetition was already over, the girls on the spectator seats were still not leaving. Their gazes were all on Yin Shaojie, unwilling to look away.

After all, it was really rare for them to be able to see this side of Young Master Jie. How could they bear to leave!
Thus, when they saw Young Master Jie beckoning, they began to shriek again.
Beckoning was against the rules!
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him uprehendingly. ¡°What reward?¡±
Seeing that she wasn¡¯t obeying his words, Yin Shaojie began to walk towards her.
He lowered his head, his dark obsidian eyes fixed upon her little face. Suddenly, he reached out with his elegant fingers and touched her cheek with them.
¡°The reward I want is this.¡±
He cupped her face with his palm now and pulled it closer to him.
Before Mu Xiaoxiao could react, she saw his face get closer and something soft pressed onto her lips.
He kissed her.
The entire stadium was silent as though everything had paused there and then.
Everyone saw the scene.
Young Master Jie was kissing Mu Xiaoxiao!
Young Master Jie was kissing Mu Xiaoxiao in front of everyone!
Even though Yin Shaojie was a well-known flirt and everyone knew he had countless of women around him, they had never seen him kiss a single girl.
May we request a pie chart of thedies¡¯ psychological trauma?
After Mu Xiaoxiao came to her senses, she pushed Yin Shaojie away, face burning. She was afraid that he would kiss her even more intensely because there were spectators.
However, Yin Shaojie only wanted a little kiss. He didn¡¯t want anyone else to see her being kissed deeply.
He wanted to be the only person to be able to admire her moved expression when he kissed her.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was red, and her heart was beating wildly. Her dark eyes red at him as she said, ¡°What are you doing!¡±
Yin Shaojie was smiling devilishly. ¡°I said that this was my reward.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao hit his chest with her fist. ¡°Jerk! If you do this next time, you¡¯ll¡ you¡¯ll pay for it!¡±
¡°How am I going to pay for it, hm?¡± Yin Shaojie looped an arm around her shoulders andughed carefreely by her ear.
Mu Xiaoxiao elbowed him. ¡°Say that again?¡± she threatened.
Yin Shaojie shrugged, but he stopped teasing her and dragged her to the holding room.
¡°I¡¯m sticky and sweaty all over. I¡¯m going to take a shower, and you¡¯reing with me. No running off.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to! Why should I apany you to the shower!¡±
They pair bickered noisily as they walked away, leaving everyone else behind.
No one cared about the obviously heartbroken-looking girls in the spectator seats.
The basketball team looked at one another. Someone said in a low voice, ¡°It looks like Young Master Jie is serious this time.¡±
¡°Yeah, I think so too.¡±
¡°I think Mu Xiaoxiao is a good choice. Young Master Jie seems very different when he¡¯s with her¡ If it were me, I would date Mu Xiaoxiao too.¡±
¡°Shush! Don¡¯t say that so casually; Young Master Jie might hear you!¡±
Thus frightened, the person shut up immediately.
¡°Let¡¯s go back and take a shower too. It was so exhrating winning today!¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t you see Young Master Jie take Mu Xiaoxiao to the shower? Are you going to be gooseberries there? I wouldn¡¯t dare.¡±
¡°We can always go to the other shower room! Idiot!¡±
Thus, the basketball team walked towards the other holding room.
Luckily, the team from Second High high lost terribly and had no face to stay. They left in a disgrace hurriedly, thus vacating the other holding room.
After the rest of the team left, Lu Yichen and Han Qiqing were the only ones left by the court.
Han Qiqing turned around to observe Lu Yichen¡¯s expression as though she wanted to see if there were any clues revealed on his face.
He¡ probably liked Xiaoxiao, right?

Chapter 467: She Would Rather Cheat Herself
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
It was said that female intuition was very urate.
Lu Yichen liked Xiaoxiao, and this thought had been lingering on Han Qiqing¡¯s mind. She had always wanted to find evidence to refute herself and prove that she was wrong, proving that Lu Yichen had only treated Xiaoxiao as a friend.
But she¡ had not been able to find such evidence.
However, she also could not find any clear evidence that proved that Lu Yichen liked Xiaoxiao, even if Lu Yichen had fought with Yin Shaojie because of Xiaoxiao.
Like earlier, when Lu Yichen lost hisposure and hit the guy from Second High because of Xiaoxiao.
Even if¡ Lu Yichen would stare nkly at his phone from time to time when Xiaoxiao had returned to the United States during those few days.
Han Qiqing would rather cheat herself that those things were all only because Lu Yichen was treating Xiaoxiao as a friend and not because he liked her.
It might be because he didn¡¯t have many friends that he would especially treasure a friend like Xiaoxiao.
Female intuition had always been very urate.
Though Han Qiqing didn¡¯t know what Lu Yichen was looking at when he stared nkly at his phone, her intuition told her that it had something to do with Xiaoxiao.
In fact, it wasn¡¯t difficult to guess, right?
Xiaoxiao had just had a conflict with Yin Shaojie, and she returned to the States, deeply hurt.
Lu Yichen had seen Xiaoxiao before she left. Something might had happened between them¡
Han Qiqing shook her head to prevent herself from furthering that thought.
She was afraid that she would fall into this obsessive trap again.
Seeing the mixed expression on Han Qiqing, Lu Yichen was smart enough to see that she had something to say to him.
But he chose not to ask.
He said tepidly to her, ¡°I¡¯ll go and take a shower first then. Will you be waiting outside for Xiaoxiao? If not, then you should go back first. It¡¯s all boys inside. It¡¯s not convenient for you to go in.¡±
Hearing that, Han Qiqing was havingplex feelings.
In the past, he rarely spoke to her, so she thought that she would be very happy if they could have a longer conversation.
Now she had achieved it.
However, Han Qiqing found herself bing greedy.
She had her wish for him to speak in a longer conversation with her. But she did not honor her wish that she would be satisfied if he only did that; she felt that it was not enough. It was extremely insufficient.
She wanted more. She wanted him to look at her. She wanted him to care for her. She wanted his¡
Seeing that she wasn¡¯t replying, Lu Yichen did not interrupt her in her thoughts.
He treated it as if she had already heard him, so he walked in the direction of the lounge.
Han Qiqing looked up and stared fixedly at his tall, serious figure.
She realized that he was heading to the lounge on the right, but his eyes seemed to be looking toward the left side, which was the lounge that Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie had just gone to.
Something was tugging at Han Qiqing¡¯s heart, and suddenly, she couldn¡¯t control herself.
¡°Lu Yichen!¡±
She blurted out, wanting to stop him.
Lu Yichen stopped and turned to look at her, and he said calmly, ¡°What is it?¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s hands were hung beside her as she nervously clenched her fists.
She walked slowly toward him until she was very close to him.
Lu Yichen was waiting for her to say something. From the look of her expression, it seemed so grave as if there was something very important she wanted to talk about.
But after a long while, she just looked at him, not saying a word.
Lu Yichen said thoughtfully, ¡°If you are not in a hurry, tell me when Ie back out?¡±
Han Qiqing shook his head forcefully.
Taking a deep breath, she finally plucked up the courage to look at his eyes.
¡°Lu Yichen, do you like Xiaoxiao?¡± she finally asked.

She finally spoke out about what she had kept bottled in her heart for so long.
Though she said it out loud, she did not feel rxed.
At this moment, the air seemed to have solidified.
Han Qiqing was even feeling as if she could hardly breathe. Her heartbeat plummeted, and she suddenly wanted to escape.
She didn¡¯t want to hear the answer.
Lu Yichen was silent. He stared back at her with a cool and deep gaze that made it hard for anyone to make out his emotions.
¡°If you don¡¯t want to answer¡¡± Han Qiqing smiled bitterly, trying to give herself an excuse.
Although if he really chose not to answer, it would seem that she would then know what the answer was.
That was thest thing she wanted to face.
Lu Yichen¡¯s gaze, which was locked on her, shifted slightly, and he finally uttered, ¡°No.¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s mood was in a veryplicated state. In the middle of her internal conflict, she suddenly heard his answer.
No?
She was startled. She looked straight into his eyes and said, ¡°No as in¡ you don¡¯t want to answer, or¡¡±
Thinking of that answer, Han Qiqing¡¯s heart was thumping incessantly.
Lu Yichen calmly looked straight into her eyes, not at all trying to avoid it as he said, ¡°I don¡¯t like Xiaoxiao.¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s mood was suddenly lifted, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
I¡ didn¡¯t hear wrong, right?
He said that he didn¡¯t like Xiaoxiao?
Han Qiqing observed his eyes and his expression as though she wanted to find any clues to see if he was lying.
But Lu Yichen looked too calm as if he was only discussing the weather with her. She could not even see any shaking in his eyes.
At this time, another voice told Han Qiqing.
Lu Yichen does not need to lie at all. Moreover, with his personality, he does not like to lie.
Why would he even deny liking someone?
So, was he telling the truth?
In that instant, Han Qiqing¡¯s mood could be said to be ecstatic.
More importantly, the huge stone that had been weighing in her heart had vanished.
She had never dared to face this matter because Xiaoxiao was her best and closest sister ever since she was young.
If Lu Yichen really liked Xiaoxiao, what would happen to her?
Would she hate Xiaoxiao then?
Han Qiqing wanted to say with certainty that she would not hate Xiaoxiao because Xiaoxiao was her best sister.
But she knew deep inside that she could not be certain.
It because she was not a saint. Regarding her emotions, she was just an ordinary person. There would be times when she would feel joy and sorrow, resentment and hate.
So now, after hearing Lu Yichen¡¯s answer, Han Qiqing felt that her repressed emotions had suddenly been relieved!
He doesn¡¯t like Xiaoxiao.
Wonderful.
Absolutely wonderful!
Han Qiqing was looking slightly nervous as she stared at Lu Yichen and asked, ¡°So, do you only treat Xiaoxiao as a friend?¡±
Though the way that he treated Xiaoxiao was different than how he treated others, who ever said that one could not treat a friend like that?
He didn¡¯t have many friends. Since it was so rare for him to have a friend, of course he would cherish her.
Han Qiqing had always used this point to convince herself, but now that she had found evidence, she was happy..
Upon hearing this, Lu Yichen¡¯s gaze seemed distant in thought as he smiled. Then, he nodded and said, ¡°Yes, she is a¡ very important friend to me.¡±
She was so important that he didn¡¯t want to hurt her.
So important that he didn¡¯t want to bring any trouble to her life.

Han Qiqing¡¯s face was like blossoming flowers as she smiled brightly. ¡°Then, you¡¡±
How do you feel toward me?
Do you like me?
She really wanted to ask about that, but it seemed to be more difficult to say than the previous question.
Hesitating for a while, Han Qiqing still dared not ask.
Lu Yichen¡¯s cool and deep voice rang in her head, ¡°If you¡¯re done asking, then I¡¯ll go and take a shower first.¡±
Although Han Qiqing was reluctant to move on from this moment when she had a chance to hang out alone with him, she was already very happy and satisfied even if they were only looking at each other and chatting.
But she also felt that there was no reason to keep him. He had just finished ying basketball and was all sweaty. He must be feeling ufortable and would probably like to take a shower soon, right?
Thus, with a gentle expression on her face, she nodded and said, ¡°Okay! Go ahead. I¡¯ll be here waiting for you. See youter!¡±
¡°Okay, see youter.¡±
Upon replying, Lu Yichen turned and left.
Han Qiqing was pacing in circles happily looking as if she was a fool. If Song Shijun was there, he would definitely have mocked her.
Luckily, the people from the stadium had already gone; she was the only one left.
Seeing that there was no one around, Han Qiqing spread her arms like a child, imagining herself as an airne, circling in the middle of the court and even happily skipping about.
¡
In the first lounge.
¡°Would you like to take a shower together?¡± Yin Shaojie smirked sinisterly and said to Mu Xiaoxiao while he took off his shirt.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head to the side as soon as she saw that he had taken off his clothes.
Her little face had some signs of redness.
¡°I¡¯m not going! Why should I take a shower with you?¡±
The bastard was trying to take liberties with her again.
She ignored him. The more she cared, the more shameless he would be.
¡°You really don¡¯t want to?¡± Yin Shaojie put down his clothes, walked over to her, and he suddenly leaned over, the sinister and charming face of his closed in beside her ear.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. Thinking that he wanted to kiss her, she shrank back her neck.
Yin Shaojie only sniffed and teased her, saying, ¡°What are you hiding away for? Did you think I was going to kiss you? I was just sniffing the smell of your body. You are also sweaty. You really don¡¯t want to take a shower together?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao violently turned her head and stared at him. ¡°You are very annoying! How am I supposed to take a shower here? I have no clothes to change into! Hurry up and go take a shower, and we¡¯ll go right after. Keep dilly-dallying, and I will head back first.¡±
But Yin Shaojie replied, ¡°Ain¡¯t that simple? I¡¯ll just make a call, and someone will send it here. When you¡¯re done showering, you¡¯ll immediately have new clothes to change into. Is that okay for you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She thought he was only kidding when he had asked her to take a shower together. She had not expected him to think it through so thoroughly.
So, did he really want to take a shower together with her?
Imagining the two standing stark naked as they showered¡ the girl¡¯s face flushed and started to heat up.
Mu Xiaoxiao deliberately straightened her face, extended her finger toward him, and warned him, ¡°I will give you onest minute. If you are still not going to take a shower, I will leave.¡±
Yin Shaojie grabbed her finger. ¡°Okay then, I¡¯ll go and take a shower. Wait for me here. You are not allowed to run around, do you hear me?¡±
Luckily, those basketball team members did not follow them in.
At least they were smart enough to know not to disturb them.
¡°I got it! Hurry up and go!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pushed him.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t tease her anymore. He was sticky with perspiration, and he was getting annoyed by it.

As Yin Shaojie entered the shower stall, Mu Xiaoxiao was sitting on the bench, looking around curiously with her big, ck eyes.
She picked up her phone and fiddled with it, and suddenly, she remembered those text messages.
Oh yeah. She hadn¡¯t read the text messages that had been deleted by Yin Shaojie, and she wondered what he had texted her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was extremely curious.
Given Yin Shaojie¡¯s character, he would probably have asked her furiously where she was going and thenmanded her tyrannically to return home quickly and stop being at loggerheads with him.
Mu Xiaoxiao snorted twice through her nose. Boys are all like this. They don¡¯t understand what girls are thinking.
She opened the messages application and was about to start checking her messages.
Suddenly she heard Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice shouting, ¡°Hey!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned motionless.
He couldn¡¯t have found out what she was doing, could he?
Quickly exiting the messages application, she pretended to be oblivious as she asked, ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice was apanied with the sound of water. ¡°There¡¯s no shower gel inside. See if there is any outside.¡±
¡°You¡¯re so troublesome.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him, irritated, but she still obediently got up and went looking for it.
¡°I don¡¯t want any used ones. Get one that is unopened,¡± a particr demon emphasized.
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him.
This Great Young Master is really hard to please!
Fortunately, this was the elite Shangde High, where even the basketball stadium was built luxuriously. Thus, these toiletries were naturally in good supply.
Soon, Mu Xiaoxiao found a cab filled with toiletries and new towels.
Looking around, Mu Xiaoxiao then took out shower gel, shampoo, and a new towel.
She went in front of the bathroom stall where Yin Shaojie was in, where there was only a shower curtain that separated them.
The sound of water could be heard from inside, and water was sshing out.
¡°There, for you!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao passed the things to him through a gap in the shower curtain, turning her eyes away.
Yin Shaojie took the new towel first and then the shower gel.
¡°Quite attentive, aren¡¯t you?¡± he said humorously.
Mu Xiaoxiao was displeased as she stared at the shower curtain. She was getting irritated at how he was taking his sweet time. Can¡¯t he just hurry up and take them? Is he doing this on purpose?
Just as she was criticizing him inside, Yin Shaojie finally took the shampoo.
Just as Mu Xiaoxiao was about to withdraw her hand, Yin Shaojie suddenly grabbed her wrist.
¡°Hey, what are you doing? Let go!¡±
As he touched her with his wet hands, there was a strange feeling as if their skin was going to stick together.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart skipped a beat.
Yin Shaojie yanked at her hand, causing her to stagger and almost fall forward toward him.
¡°Hey¡ª!¡± she shouted unhappily.
A particr demon said sinisterly, ¡°If if I pulled you in, what would you do?¡±
Red-faced, Mu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and said, ¡°I would bite you to death! Just try it!¡±
This bastard actually wanted to pull her in when he¡¯s not wearing a stitch of clothing?
She didn¡¯t want to see him naked!
Even so, she was already starting to imagine his strong chest muscles, his well-defined abs and then his sexy V-line¡
Stop! Stop!
Can¡¯t get carried away!
Feeling the heat from his palm that seemed to be spreading to her body, she was even starting to feel the air bing hotter.
¡°The shower is veryfortable. You really don¡¯t want to shower together?¡± a particr demon said seductively.

¡°I don¡¯t want to! Not even a bit!¡±
Putting on a firm expression, Mu Xiaoxiao refused resolutely, but her heartbeat was already in disarray.
She was anxious to retract her hand, but the demon did not give her a chance, grabbing her tightly like a chain that wouldn¡¯t budge.
¡°Yin Shaojie!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao screamed his name.
¡°Hubby is here¡ª¡± he teased her in his frivolous, sinister tone.
Mu Xiaoxiao was so angry that she wanted to hit him. ¡°Let go of me!¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm suddenly tightened, and he pulled her inside.
¡°Ah¡ª¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shrieked, covering her eyes with her hands.
This bastard!
The shower head was still on, and the drops of water sprayed onto her.
Just when Mu Xiaoxiao was feeling a bit cold, she felt a hot body leaning against her.
¡°Why are you closing your eyes? Open them.¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice seemed to havee from right in front of her, his low and husky voice entuating his charm.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heartbeat skipped a beat as she covered her eyes tightly.
She was not going to open her eyes even if she would be dragged to her grave!
He wasn¡¯t wearing anything¡
How could he tell her to open her eyes!
This rogue!
¡°You¡¯reme, I¡¯m going out.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao turned around to escape.
But how could Yin Shaojie let her go that easily after he had pulled her in?
His strong arm pressed her against the wet porcin wall, holding her cheek in his hand and forcing her to face him squarely.
He looked down and stared at her chest.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s clothes had already been soaked by the water from the shower head. Her thin t-shirt was sticking onto her body, outlining her graceful curves, her small waist, the protruding shape of her breasts, and even the wrinkles on her shirt¡
In an instant, his gaze seemed to be scorching with mes in his eyes.
His Adam¡¯s apple was rolled up and down. In that small wet space, his breathing was also getting hotter.
¡°Xiaoxiao¡¡±
How could this wretch have such a hot body?
Mu Xiaoxiao was still oblivious of her exposed body because she was busy keeping her eyes closed, so she wouldn¡¯t see his lower body¡
But that¡¯s how people were. The more she tried not to look, the more it bothered her.
She could not help herself from picturing that image.
Hearing him call her name, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t notice the suggestiveness in his voice, and she pouted, saying, ¡°What, have you yed enough?¡±
¡°ying? I¡¯m not ying¡¡±
Yin Shaojie struggled and looked away from her chest, but then his gaze became locked on her lips instead.
The look of her pouting was really cute.
And her tender lips were simply alluring as if they were inviting him to kiss them.
Well, he wouldn¡¯t stand on ceremony then!
Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze deepened. Just when she parted her mouth slightly as she was going to say something, he pressed against her little mouth.
Then very quickly, his hot tongue stuck into her mouth.
Mu Xiaoxiao moaned as she pressed her small palm on his chest.
His wet and strong chest muscles beneath her palm revealed his absolute manly dominance.
Seeing that she was still unwilling to open her eyes, Yin Shaojie smirked sinisterly, taking her little hand and hooking it on his neck.
The tip of his tongue was even more wanton inside of her mouth as he sucked the sweet taste of her.

He was overbearing as he kept working her tongue, and she could only pander to his demands awkwardly.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt that the kiss was so hot that it was causing her body temperature to rise as well.
Though the water spraying from the shower head from above her was warm, the tiles on her back were slightly cold.
It was just like thebination of ice and fire.
But what was most unbearable was how his lips kept sucking her incessantly as if they were going melt her with their heat.
¡°Xiaoxiao¡¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice was huskier.
After letting go of her lips, he kissed her chin, and he continued going downward.
Mu Xiaoxiao could only tilt her head back as he worked his lips down her neck, and his hot tongue licked her delicate and alluring vicle.
When she noticed that he was going down even further, Mu Xiaoxiao quickly hugged his hand embarrassedly.
¡°Don¡¯t¡¡±
Oh my heavens!
Where else does he want to kiss!
If he goes further down, that would be¡
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face looked totally like a red apple as she bit her lip, afraid that she would moan out embarrassingly again.
But Yin Shaojie was very naughty, pretending to not have heard her protest as he deliberately licked her at the center.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s body trembled sensitively, and she called out, ¡°Yin Shaojie¡¡±
However, her voice had be soft unlike before.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s slender fingers pulled down her cor deliberately to reveal the fair skin color underneath, and he lowered his head and sucked forcefully, printing a strawberry on her skin.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a slight ticklish sensation, but she didn¡¯t dare to look down.
Yin Shaojie stared seriously at his work of art.
Okay, a bright strawberry.
Printed on her fair and tender skin, it was really beautiful.
Feeling a surge of heat gathering at his abdomen, Yin Shaojie could hardly contain himself.
But looking around at the environment, he gritted his teeth and endured it.
His long arms wrapped around her thin waist, lowered himself close to her, and pressed his chin on her shoulder.
He breathed suggestively beside her ear.
¡°Wifey, when will you be prepared?¡±
Prepared to let me eat you up.
Yin Shaojie never knew that his desire would be so intense that his mind would only be filled with the thought of the person in front of him.
The thought of eating her, kissing every part of her, and leaving his mark on her snow white skin¡
There were too many things that he wanted to do to her.
But then again, he was afraid of scaring her.
Yin Shaojie scrutinized Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face from up close. Her facial features were so delicate and beautiful that it was as if she was heaven¡¯s greatest masterpiece.
He thought that the heavens must be biased for putting all the good things on her.
Feeling his warm breath just in front of her, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyshes trembled before she slowly opened her eyes.
Her ck eyes had a sparkle, looking pitiful as though he had just bullied her.
¡°What, what preparation?¡± she asked shyly.
Although she had already guessed what it meant, she felt that she should talk to him about this topic.
Lest he¡ kept taking liberties with her like that.
Yin Shaojie said in a deep, sexy voice beside her ear, ¡°Prepare for our consummation.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was blushing. ¡°Who wants to consummate with you!¡±
¡°We are already engaged and living together. All that¡¯s left is the consummation,¡± Yin Shaojie said as he smiled

Mu Xiaoxiao also felt that it was reasonable. After all, they were already together, and sooner orter, they would have to move on to this step
However¡
Thinking of this, her heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was going to pop out.
Puh-lease!
She had only just gotten a taste of love. How could she jump so quickly to thest step?
No, no, of course not!
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°You wish! I haven¡¯t thought about it yet. In the future, who knows¡¡±
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes dangerously. ¡°You haven¡¯t thought about what? Who knows what? Mu Xiaoxiao, I dare you to keep talking! Are you still looking to try dating another man? Let me tell you, don¡¯t even think about it!¡±
He was her first love, and he would be herst!
She could only be his!
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted, saying softly, ¡°Who knows what will happen in the future¡¡±
Maybe he will have a change of heart?
The mere thought of this caused her heart to ache, and it was like someone was pricking at it with a needle.
Suddenly, she reached out her hand and hugged his neck, leaning entirely in his embrace.
¡°Yin Shaojie¡ Will you have a change of heart? Will you¡ like me forever?¡±
Actually, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t be med for thinking about the possibility of a short-lived rtionship.
When she was studying in the States, she had seen too many people in such situations. Couples, who clearly used to be so intimate and madly in love with each other, ended up breaking up.
Then, they would get new partners, but when they met, they would greet each other with hellos.
This was something that Mu Xiaoxiao could not understand.
If they had really been in love, how could they still be friends when separated?
Perhaps, it was because she had seen enough of these things that she wouldn¡¯t naively believe that being together meant that people could be partners forever.
Noticing the uncertainty in her voice, he held the back of her head and kissed her on her cheek.
¡°Silly girl, how did youe to bear such a notion? I worked so hard to get you back, why would I have a change of heart?¡±
Had this girl forgotten?
All along, she was the only person in his heart.
He didn¡¯t have any feelings toward other girls, only her.
She was the only one he wanted to kiss and the only one he wanted to be intimate with.
¡°But¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated as she said this, her face wrinkled in a grimace.
But, this world had too many temptations and too many fine girls.
In fact, Mu Xiaoxiao had never once felt that she was the best.
She also had the shorings that most girls had.
For example, she would throw tempers, be at loggerheads with him over trivial matters, and there were times when she was just unreasonable.
Perhaps it was because she knew that he would always amodate and indulge her, that no matter what, he wouldn¡¯t abandon her.
Thus, she dared to treat him how she pleased.
If it was any other boy, Mu Xiaoxiao knew that she wouldn¡¯t be like this.
It was only because he was Yin Shaojie, the one who grew up with her, the one who had treated her well ever since they were young, and the one who had always pampered her dearly, that she acted like this.
Just like when she was still young, no matter what she did wrong, he would always be the strongest rampart that protected her.
As Mu Xiaoxiao ruminated, her eyes gradually became watery.
She hugged his neck tightly as though she was afraid that he would leave her.
Her voice choked and she said, ¡°Yin Shaojie¡ You¡¯re forbidden to have a change of heart. You¡¯re forbidden to not like me, do you hear?¡±

With just the thought of them separating, of him falling for other girls and never being intimate with her ever again, Mu Xiaoxiao felt that she could hardly breathe.
She couldn¡¯t imagine that scene as she felt she would go crazy from it.
At this moment, she clearly felt that she couldn¡¯t lose Yin Shaojie. If she lost him, where should she go and find someone who would pamper and indulge her so dearly?
Yin Shaojie kissed her on her lips and said to her solemnly, ¡°Okay, I hear you.¡±
Pushing him, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes was watery, and she looked bashful as she said, ¡°Well¡ about this thing¡ let me prepare myself first¡¡±
Yin Shaojie stared nkly for a moment. It took him a second to react and understand what she meant about making preparations.
His face was ovee with joy.
He couldn¡¯t help but feel like kissing her again.
But Mu Xiaoxiao shyly pushed his chest away. ¡°Okay, you continue taking your shower then. I am going out!¡±
¡°Wifey, let¡¯s take a shower together! You¡¯re already wet anyways.¡±
¡°No!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was eager to escape the small space. As she rxed herself, her eyes looked down subconsciously.
When she had reacted to it in the next second, it was already toote as she tried to cover her eyes from the fright.
But¡ ¡°Eh?¡±
It turned out that his lower body was wrapped in a towel!
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little mad from the humiliation, and she hit him. ¡°Were you trying to scare me on purpose?¡±
Scaring her into thinking that he was really naked.
Yin Shaojie smirked and jokingly said, ¡°If you want to see it, I don¡¯t mind.¡±
With that said, he went to pull down the towel.
¡°No! Disgusting!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shouted at him.
¡°Disgusting? What¡¯s disgusting?¡± Yin Shaojie raised his eyebrows, displeased. Then, his long arm leaned against the wall behind her. ¡°You haven¡¯t seen it yet. How would you know that it is disgusting?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao covered her ears and shouted loudly, ¡°Ah, ah, ah, ah! I don¡¯t want to see it! Stop talking about it!¡±
So shameless!
At this moment, Yin Shaojie¡¯s ear twitched slightly, looking the corner of his eyes as he noticed a faint sounding from outside.
¡°Who¡¯s outside!¡± he suddenly shouted and gestured to Mu Xiaoxiao to be quiet.
Mu Xiaoxiao immediately paused motionless, staring at him with her wide eyes.
Wu Hao¡¯s voice came from outside. ¡°Young Master Jie, it¡¯s me¡ you asked me to send clothes.¡±
When Wu Hao came in, he had noticed the sounds from the shower stall and didn¡¯t dare to disturb Young Master Jie¡¯s good mood, so he was nning to leave the clothes and leave stealthily.
Little did he expect that Young Master Jie would even notice him when he was already walking so softly.
Wu Hao could¡¯t understand. Wasn¡¯t there still the sound of water in the shower stall? How did Young Master Jie hear his footsteps?
The more he thought, the more he felt that Young Master Jie was too incredible!
Then, Yin Shaojie voice came out quickly from inside. ¡°Alright then. Put the clothes down, go outside, and stand guard. Don¡¯t let anyonee in.¡±
¡°Got it, I will go out right away!¡± Wu Hao answered deferentially and went out hurriedly.
After confirming that the other party was gone, Mu Xiaoxiao, who was in the shower stall, let out a breath of relief.
She was holding her breath earlier for fear that Wu Hao would find out that she was inside.
¡°He shouldn¡¯t know I am here, right?¡± she still asked Yin Shaojie worriedly.
Yin Shaojie poked out his head to have a look before smiling at her, saying, ¡°He probably knows.¡±
¡°Ah? For real?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked mad as if she wanted to catch Wu Hao and wipe clean his memory.

Yin Shaojie scratched her nose with his finger. ¡°He should have heard your voice when he came in. Besides, I asked him to send over clothes. He could have guessed it himself. Why would he even need to ask?¡±
In all of Shangde High, who didn¡¯t know that Mu Xiaoxiao was his woman?
It waspletely normal for her to be with him.
Besides, the news of him kissing her in public after he won the game should have already spread throughout the school.
Recalling what she had just said to him, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face immediately blushed.
She hit him embarrassedly. ¡°It¡¯s all your fault! Why did you have to talk to me about that dirty stuff!¡±
She hit him in a huff and was about to walk out.
Then, Yin Shaojie grabbed her arm. ¡°Wait!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to shake off his hand. ¡°What? You still want more?¡±
¡°No.¡± Yin Shaojie stared at her with his eyes that were ck like ink. ¡°Don¡¯t go out. Just stay here, and I will go out and get the clothes for you.¡±
Hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao stopped moving,plying with him.
At least he was considerate.
Yin Shaojie turned off the shower head. After going out, he quickly came back carrying a bag in his hand, and he handed it to her.
¡°Since you are here, take a shower then,¡± he said.
Mu Xiaoxiao took the items pulled back the shower curtain to cover him and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to take a shower.¡±
There¡¯s only one shower curtain here. It¡¯s too unsafe!
Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice could be heard from outside. ¡°Why? Are you afraid that I will barge in?¡±
¡°Yes!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said bluntly.
¡°I¡¯m telling you, if you dare to mess around, I will get angry! I¡¯m going to change my clothes now. You aren¡¯t allowed to peek, and you aren¡¯t allowed toe in, do you hear me?¡±
Yin Shaojie chuckled and then walked away.
cing her ear beside the curtain, Mu Xiaoxiao heard the sound of him walking away, and she then felt reassured.
She took off her wet clothes until she was only in her underwear. She paused for a moment and was upset as she stared at her own body.
My underwear is all wet¡
What should I do?
She picked up the bag and looked at the clothes inside. It turned out that there were a pair of panties and a bra!
Mu Xiaoxiao looked embarrassed. How could Yin Shaojie have been so thorough to even think of this?
She took a nce outside and then quickly changed into the clothes.
However, her hair was still wet, and it was ufortable as it draped over her shoulders.
Mu Xiaoxiao ran her hand through her hair and went out.
Yin Shaojie took a clean new towel and went up to her to help her dry her hair.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted, her face red, and she then sounded displeased as she said, ¡°The clothes inside¡ Did you ask Wu Hao to buy them?¡±
Doesn¡¯t that mean that Wu Hao had touched them before?
Suddenly, the thought made Mu Xiaoxiao felt ufortable all over.
Yin Shaojie seemed to have seen through her thoughts and exined, ¡°It¡¯s not him who bought it. I called a store and asked their store assistant to deliver it. Wu Hao only went to receive it and then brought it here.¡±
This girl had no idea that there was no way he would let other guys buy or touch her underwear.
Mu Xiaoxiao then felt relieved.
¡°Okay, let me dry it myself. Your movements are so rough.¡± She patted away his hand and tried to take the towel from him.
But Yin Shaojie wouldn¡¯t give it to her as he took her to the bench and made her sit down.
¡°Yours truly is willing to even help you dry your hair, and you dare toin? Noining!¡±
Usually, it was others who waited on him. When had he ever waited on someone else?
She was the only one. He had waited on her from since they were young, yet she just took it for granted.
Chapter 476 - Can’t You Be Gentler
Chapter 476: Can¡¯t You Be Gentler
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Can¡¯t you be gentler!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shouted.
Yin Shaojie was forced to be more gentle. ¡°Is this okay?¡±
¡°That¡¯s better¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she nodded before closing her eyes to enjoy his service.
Usually, Yin Shaojie would take a short time to dry his hair because male hair was shorter. Sometimes he wouldn¡¯t even need a minute.
But even after he dried her hair for a few minutes, it was still wet.
He furrowed his brow. ¡°Female hair is really troublesome. You gotta take so long to dry it. Don¡¯t you get tired when you dry it yourself?¡±
¡°Of course, it¡¯s the same when blow drying the hair. My hands get all tired,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao replied, her head swaying together with his movements, which made her look like a kitten.
Yin Shaojie suddenly felt that it was a pretty good idea to dry her hair to be able to see such a lovely side of her.
¡°It won¡¯t get dry if we do it like this, will it?¡± he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao touched her hair. Because she had longer hair, it would still feel wet even after drying it for so long.
¡°That¡¯s just the way it is. If only we had a hair dryer.¡±
¡°Wait here for a while then. I¡¯ll go out and ask if they have any.¡± Yin Shaojie handed the towel to her and went out.
After all, the basketball team consisted of only boys, and because they only needed to dry for awhile after showering, it was normal for them to not use hairdryers.
Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao said hurriedly, ¡°No need for that! Since we¡¯re already dismissed from lessons, let¡¯s just go home directly.¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at her and said disapprovingly, ¡°The weather is getting cold now. What if you catch a cold?¡±
He didn¡¯t forget how frail her body was. When she was young, she could easily catch a cold after being exposed to cold wind.
¡°Aiyoh, how can it be so easy to catch a cold! You¡¯ve seen it yourself. I have been back for so long, and I haven¡¯t caught a cold.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao casually wiped her hair with the towel and then threw it aside.
Yin Shaojie pinched his eyebrows. ¡°Take back those words and say it properly!¡±
Seeing him like this, she sniggered as she hugged his hand and said, ¡°Why are you talking like this? Hrious!¡±
Weren¡¯t these superstitious words something that only their mothers¡¯ and grandmothers¡¯ generation would say?
Yin Shaojie pinched her cheek and said, ¡°You only know to annoy me. Don¡¯t you know that it is all for you own good?¡±
But then, you never can never be too sure with these kind of things.
¡°Alright, alright, I promise, I won¡¯t catch a cold, okay?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, not taking it seriously, and she tugged on him as they walked out together.
¡°Alright, let¡¯s go home then! I¡¯m famished.¡±
After almost an hour for the game and all the fuss in the shower, it was probably evening already.
¡
Outside the basketball stadium.
An Zhixin¡¯s ssmates were waiting impatiently.
One of the girls said to An Zhixin, displeased, ¡°We have already waited so long, why isn¡¯t he out yet? Zhixin, are you lying to us? You don¡¯t know Young Master Jie at all, do you?¡±
An Zhixin looked nervous and looked anxiously at her phone.
Another girl looked at her and asked suspiciously, ¡°Zhixin, do you really have Young Master Jie¡¯s phone number? Then, why don¡¯t you dare to call him? Just call him again!¡±
An Zhixin had already dialed his phone earlier, but she didn¡¯t dare to be too much of a bother to Yin Shaojie, so she didn¡¯t dare to call him again.
They didn¡¯t see Yin Shaojieing out, so they stood at the door and waited.
An Zhixin was already sweating through her palms as she smiled and said to them, ¡°Do you think there may be a second exit here? Perhaps¡ they already left from the back exit after showering?¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
After all, this was an elite school, and for such a big and beautiful basketball stadium, it shouldn¡¯t be surprising for it to have multiple exits, right?
Upon hearing that, the girls looked dejected. ¡°It can¡¯t be, right?¡±
They had waited for so long, yet it was all for nothing.
An Zhixin smiled and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go back then,e on. I¡¯ll treat you to noodles back in school, okay?¡±
She started to feel guilty.
All because of a moment of vanity.
Just when An Zhixin was just getting them to turn around, one of the girls suddenly eximed, ¡°Young Master Jie is out!¡±
The few girls instantly turned to look.
It was indeed Yin Shaojie!
The girls nudged An Zhixin said excitedly, ¡°Quickly, take us to him!¡±
The thought of meeting Shangde High¡¯s famous Young Master Jie was like a dream to these girls who came from an ordinary school.
An Zhixin felt awkward, especially when she saw Yin Shaojie with his arm around Mu Xiaoxiao as they came out. The two were looking intimate together, talking andughing with each other.
But that sweet scene was like a knife that stabbed at her heart.
¡°Look at Young Master Jie. His girlfriend¡¯s hair is still wet. Do you think¡ they might have had some wet fun in the lounge just now?¡± the girl who was holding An Zhixin¡¯s left hand said suggestively.
An Zhixin¡¯s lips were pale as she smiled awkwardly, wishing she could cover the girl¡¯s mouth to shut her up.
As the girls crowded around her, An Zhixin was forced to walk up to Yin Shaojie.
¡°Hey Shaojie! Congrattions on winning the game!¡± An Zhixin took great efforts to disy an amiable and lovely smile.
Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao stopped walking and looked toward An Zhixin at the same time.
An Zhixin had a feeling that she was unwee. She was so awkward that she didn¡¯t know what to do with her hands and legs.
She felt like a clown.
Yin Shaojie said nothing.
The difort An Zhixin was feeling became only more unbearable as she stared pitifully at him.
Seeing that An Zhixin had greeted Young Master Jie, the girls at the side were all excited.
¡°Young Master Jie! We are friends of Zhixin! Your reputation precedes you, so we have been waiting for a long time just toe say hello to you!¡±
¡°Young Master Jie, how did youe to be friends with Zhixin? Well then¡ may we have the honor to get to know you?¡±
¡°Yeah, yeah. Young Master Jie, can I have your cell phone number? You can rest assured that I will only keep it and won¡¯t bother you.¡±
¡°Young Master Jie, can I take a photo with you?¡±
These girls surrounded Yin Shaojie and jabbered on and on as though they had not seen the cold look on Yin Shaojie.
Just then, Mu Xiaoxiao, who was hugging Yin Shaojie by his arm, suddenly let go of him.
Mu Xiaoxiao shot a re at An Zhixin, curling her lip contemptibly.
An Zhixin turned pale and grim as she felt as if Mu Xiaoxiao had seen through her.
Her hands trembled as they hung by her side.
Mu Xiaoxiao said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°You can stay and entertain them then, I¡¯ll be going home first.¡±
Just as she was going to take her first step, Yin Shaojie pulled her back with his long arm, pinning her in his embrace.
¡°Let¡¯s go together,¡± Yin Shaojie said to her with a smile, and when he turned back to look at An Zhixin, his expression was cold and detached.
He parted his lips slightly as he said to An Zhixin, caring not for saving her face, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t know you.¡±
Those words were undoubtedly a p in the face for An Zhixin.

Chapter 478: Her Unrequited Feelings
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
An Zhixin was rooted to the ground. Broken-hearted, her eyes widened as she had never expected Yin Shaojie to say something like that!
How could he hurt her feelings like that¡
An Zhixin¡¯s eyes became watery, looking like she was about to cry as she stared at Yin Shaojie pitifully.
If it was anyone else who was a little more soft-hearted, he would have probably feel that he had spoken too harshly upon seeing the pitiful look on her face.
However, Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t feel that. After saying that, he turned his head and looked away from An Zhixin.
He reached out, put his arm around Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s shoulder, and said to her, ¡°Let¡¯s go home then.¡±
Ditching An Zhixin and the girls who came with her, he left with Mu Xiaoxiao.
An Zhixin stood in the same spot, like someone who was abandoned, watching stupidly at the two of them walking away.
She bit her lower lip tightly, but her tears could not be held back as they rolled down her cheeks.
There was a girl who couldn¡¯t stand the sight of it, and she snorted and mocked, ¡°Hmm, who is she crying to show?¡± So somebody was not even acquainted with Young Master Jie at all but still had the cheek to say that she was. Where did she even get the cheek to say that? F*ck! Making me look like a fool and wasting my time standing outside for so long. I¡¯m going home!¡±
The rest of the girls looked at each other in dismay, and they then followed the girl.
As they left, they couldn¡¯t help but talk about what happened.
¡°What¡¯s wrong with Zhixin today? If she isn¡¯t acquainted with Young Master Jie, why would she say that she is? I have never see her act so vainly normally.¡±
¡°The way I see it, she might have really met with Young Master Jie before, but it¡¯s just that Young Master Jie doesn¡¯t give a rat¡¯s ass about her. Yet, she still deluded herself into thinking that she was friends with Young Master Jie. Humph, what a joke.¡±
¡°Yes, that is probably the case. I guess Zhixin must have been charmed by that Young Master Jie, right? The way she was staring at him¡¡±
¡°Wishful thinking! She should take a good look at where she stands. With her family background and that kind of appearance, do you think Young Master Jie would really fancy her? As if sparrows could really turn into phoenixes¡¡±
¡°Exactly! Young Master Jie¡¯s girlfriend was so pretty and ssy! I can tell from one look that she is a wealthy young missy. Only with that kind of status could she be worthy of Young Master Jie.¡±
As the sun set, the orange in the horizon gradually faded, and thend became dark.
Hearing the sound of her ssmates gradually fading away, An Zhixin was motionless as she stood in the same spot without any reaction.
Her heart seemed to have became chilly all of a sudden.
The tears on her face were blown dry by the wind, and she looked like she had lost her spirit.
What¡ was she doing?
¡
The luxury sports car was parked in therge underground parking lot.
Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao returned to the condominium as quickly as possible.
Standing in the elevator, Mu Xiaoxiao inadvertently nced at the floor that An Zhixin lived on.
Yin Shaojie seemed to have noticed her small action, and he touched her hand and said, ¡°Wanna check if she had moved out already? If not¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head as she fiddled with her wet hair. ¡°No need. Let¡¯s give her two days to move.¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Yin Shaojie only responded tepidly.
Watching him in the elevator, she hesitated for a moment, but she still asked, ¡°Earlier, why did you say that you didn¡¯t know her?¡±
Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao were looking at each other through the mirror on the elevator door. Yin Shaojie was still looking aloof as if he was not concerned about what had happened earlier.
¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you? I won¡¯t do anything for unimportant people who make you unhappy.¡±
Chapter 479 - Would You Give Yourself to Me?
Chapter 479: Would You Give Yourself to Me?
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
It didn¡¯t matter to him if people were to say that he was selfish.
A selfish person was just who he was. He only wanted the people whom he cared about to be happy, and it didn¡¯t matter to him how anyone else felt.
Although he used to treat An Zhixin as a friend, at least an old friend, what An Zhixin had done could not be tolerated.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him fixedly as she could not help but feel deeply moved by him.
She had thought that he would still be at least a little soft-hearted toward An Zhixin because of what happened seven years ago, ¡
Yin Shaojie¡¯s slender fingers lifted her chin as he stared at her with a sinister smile. ¡°So moved, are you? Then, how would you like to¡ give yourself to me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him bashfully, reaching out and grabbing his arm, her heart fluttering.
Suddenly, she wanted to throw herself at him and kiss him.
But she inadvertently looked up and saw that there was a surveince camera in the elevator.
Remembering that their every move would be scrutinized by other people, Mu Xiaoxiao dispelled the thought.
She leaned forward and put her little head on his chest.
¡°When I heard you say that earlier¡ I felt so happy. Was that bad of me?¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled disapprovingly. Lowering his elegant face and gazing at her ear, he couldn¡¯t help but pinch and y with it.
¡°You call that bad? To put it bluntly, she asked for it.¡±
As he said that, there was a sardonic look in his eyes.
How could he not see through what An Zhixin was thinking. She could only be doing that out of vanity.
She was just like the girls he had dated in the past, who seemed so eager to let the whole world know that he was their boyfriend.
Some girls had even tried to be clever, deliberately bringing him to their friends to show off.
Yin Shaojie had seen enough of the little tricks that girls yed.
After the recent events, he hade to an understanding of the type of person that An Zhixin was.
Ding! The elevator finally arrived.
Yin Shaojie held her hand as they walked out and said, ¡°In any case, if you don¡¯t want to see her, then I will make her move away.¡±
Besides, thinking about how the misunderstanding between him and Xiaoxiao had been caused by An Zhixin, Yin Shaojie could hardly keep a good opinion of An Zhixin.
Mu Xiaoxiao went up to the door and opened it using her fingerprint, and she turned to ask him, ¡°Do you think that she has already moved out?¡±
Yin Shaojie curled his lips and said, ¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. She sighed and said, ¡°I hope she understands and moves out soon.¡±
Otherwise, given Yin Shaojie¡¯s personality, she didn¡¯t know what ugly things he might do to her.
Although Yin Shaojie would not hit girls, it didn¡¯t mean that he wouldn¡¯t punish them severely.
Mu Xiaoxiao remembered seeing it for herself back when she was young.
Yin Shaojie was so annoyed because the little girls in kindergarten were pestering him. Then, he made the little girls cry and warned them sternly that they were not allowed to follow him.
He was only concerned for the people he cared about. He could give a damn whether other people were unhappy!
As she walked into the apartment, she sniggered at the thought of something.
Yin Shaojie looked up and stared at her with a curious look.
Mu Xiaoxiao changed into slippers, smiling as she looked back at him and said, ¡°Remember when we were in kindergarten? There was a little girl who liked you and told everyone that you were her boyfriend and that she wanted to marry you and have your baby when she grew up.¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Yin Shaojie thought about it and nodded. ¡°I remember some of that. What made you suddenly think about this?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled and said, ¡°Later, didn¡¯t you scold her in front of all the children, saying that you were not her boyfriend so that she wouldn¡¯t act so smitten everyday because it was unsightly or something. I still remember how bad she cried at the time.¡±
Yin Shaojie changed into his slippers and walked into the living room with her.
He looked like he recalled something as he narrowed his eyes and said, ¡°I remember it. At that time, there seemed to be several boys vying to marry you and take you for their bride. How is it now, are you still staying in contact with any of them?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao sniffed as she felt that there was jealousy in the air..
She smiled and said deliberately, ¡°Was there such a thing? I wonder if they have grown up to be handsome? Why not we have a kindergarten ss reunion next time? It will be very interesting!¡±
¡°Very interesting?¡± Yin Shaojie blocked her path and folded his arms at his chest as he stared at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao flung her wet hair and said to him, ¡°Move away! My hair feels so ufortable, I need to get it blow-dried.¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes suddenly shed with a glimmer of light, and he said, ¡°We can do your idea. Why not have our engagement party again? We¡¯ll invite the people you want, how about that?¡±
¡°No!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao quickly refused, her eyes widening.
¡°Why not?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face was somewhat unhappy.
She refused so quickly as if she hadn¡¯t thought about it at all.
¡°No means no. An engagement party isn¡¯t fun, and it¡¯s so tiring. I don¡¯t want to do it again.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pushed him away, walked over to the drawer to take the hairdryer, and went to the sofa to sit down.
Yin Shaojie followed, sitting beside her. ¡°You really don¡¯t want to?¡±
¡°Absolutely not!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said with great certainty and began to blow her hair.
Yin Shaojie leaned himself on the sofa, thinking about something.
Seeing that he didn¡¯t insist about the matter, she was relieved and continued to blow her hair.
Her stomach was rumbling.
¡°Hey, didn¡¯t you order food? When will it be arriving? Call them to hurry it up, I am so hungry.¡±
Yin Shaojie nced at her, got down from the sofa, walked over to the fridge, and took out something from inside.
He came back and handed an apple to her.
¡°Eat an apple first, lest you feel hungry.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao showed him the hair dryer in her hand and curled her lips, saying, ¡°I¡¯ve got my hands full. Put it aside, and I¡¯ll eat it after I¡¯m done drying my hair.¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned. ¡°Why don¡¯t you cut your hair short?¡±
With such long hair, it would be very troublesome to dry her hair every time.
Moreover¡
He suddenly wanted to see how she would look with short hair.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t happy when she heard this and grimaced disdainfully. ¡°No! If I were to cut my hair short¡ I¡¯ll look very ugly! I won¡¯t do it even if you kill me!¡±
In fact, she had tried a short haircut when she was in the States. Seeing her sisters looking sharp in their short hair, she had also wanted to try it.
Little did she expect¡
What happened in the past was better forgotten!
She recalled how she looked with her short hair. She was always mistaken as an elementary school student. Even when she went to the cinema to watch a movie, the ticket seller gave her a child¡¯s price without her asking for it.
After that, she vowed that she would never cut her hair short ever again!

Seeing her big reaction, Yin Shaojie was curious. ¡°Why? Short hairstyles are cute too.¡±
With a face like an egg and facial features that were so delicate, this girl should look cute no matter what hairstyle she had.
¡°No means no!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao disdainfully waved her hand at him.
Yin Shaojie grabbed her hand, snatched away the hairdryer, and stuffed the apple into her hand.
¡°Eat it. I¡¯ll dry your hair for you.¡±
As he said, he turned her body around, her back facing him.
Seeing that someone was going to provide a service for her, of course she did not reject it.
She took a bite of the apple and asked him, ¡°Don¡¯t you think that I look better with long hair?¡±
Her hair ended with a little natural curl that looked like it was permed, so she thought that it looked good.
She could do many styles with long hair, but she couldn¡¯t do them with short hair.
Therefore, she could only conclude that long hair was still better.
Yin Shaojie looked pensive, and he said deliberately in a maic voice, ¡°I think you will look cuter with short hair.¡±
Notice that he said ¡®cuter¡¯ and not ¡®better.¡¯
The more the girl resisted, the more he wanted to see her with a short haircut.
Yin Shaojie blew her hair and ran his long fingers through her hair at the same time. Her hair was silky, smooth, and very soft.
He couldn¡¯t help but imagine how would she look like with short hair.
Mu Xiaoxiao was happy listening to him ttering her. It was rare for him not tough at her.
However, she didn¡¯t want to continue talking about this topic, so she didn¡¯t reply to him.
Apparently, she had been really hungry, as Mu Xiaoxiao finished the apple in a few bites, put what was left of the apple on the coffee table, and took out her phone.
¡°After taking exams all day, I¡¯m all disoriented. Give me a massage after drying my hair.¡±
Yin Shaojie red at her darkly.
This wretch seemed to be getting veryfortable giving him orders, huh?
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t see the look on him, so she took it that he had agreed.
As she was ying with her phone, she muttered, ¡°Weird, I keep feeling like I forgot something today¡¡±
However, her brain was hardly working after taking exams, and she couldn¡¯t remember anything.
Even at noon when Han Qiqing had told her to see the game, she had also forgotten it the moment she turned away.
After a while, Yin Shaojie was done drying her hair.
He put down the hairdryer, and he actually started to give her a massage.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled, closing her eyes as she enjoyed his service.
¡°What did you say you forgot?¡± Yin Shaojie asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao gently shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t remember what I forgot. How troubling. I keep having the feeling like it was something very important. Or, perhaps you can help me recall what it was?¡±
Yin Shaojie could not help butugh as he said, ¡°How can I help you remember?¡±
It was not like he was a parasite living in her.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you very smart? Then, think of some way to help me recall it¡±
Normally, she wouldn¡¯t care much if she had forgotten something. If she had forgotten, she would just let it be as she would just naturally recall it in due time.
But it was weird that she had forgotten something that she had thought of as especially important, something that she couldn¡¯t forget.
Yin Shaojie put her fingers on her crown and gently pressed her acupuncture points.
Mu Xiaoxiao moanedfortably. ¡°Uhh¡ Feels good¡ Use a little more force¡ Yes, that¡¯s the spot¡ Uhh¡¡±

Little did she know how her moans sounded to Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes were burning up.
Mu Xiaoxiao simply leaned backfortably on Yin Shaojie¡¯s chest.
¡°Are you thinking of how to help me?¡± she asked.
Yin Shaojie lowered his head and could see her eyes closed. She looked sofortable that it was exactly the opposite to the burning feeling he had in his entire body, making him want to pull her up and give her a spanking.
¡°I¡¯m thinking.¡± His maic voice was slightly husky.
Mu Xiaoxiao rushed him, saying, ¡°Think quickly!¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face couldn¡¯t help but bend down to face her, his deep eyes gazing upon her little pink mouth.
It looked puffy like jelly.
It made him want to kiss it.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt something pressing her, and she instinctively opened her eyes and saw the handsome face right in her face.
¡°Hey! What are you doing? You¡¯re trying to¡ steal a kiss from me again, aren¡¯t you?¡±
Yin Shaojie drew himself back, and the corner of his mouth turned up in a smile. ¡°I¡¯ve thought of a way to help you recall it.¡±
Sure enough, Mu Xiaoxiao could not care anymore about enjoying his massage as she turned her attention away. She turned to face him, grabbed his arm, and asked, ¡°What way? Help me quickly!¡±
The harder she tried to recall what it was, the more it eluded her, but she felt that it was something really important. Thus, she felt so stifled that it was as if something was blocking her chest, a stuffy feeling that she couldn¡¯t let go of.
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed. ¡°If I can¡¯t remember it, I definitely won¡¯t be able to sleep tonight!¡±
She didn¡¯t want to lose sleep!
Yin Shaojie beckoned to her with his finger in a hooking motion. ¡°Come here. I¡¯ll tell you what the method is.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was unsuspecting as she obediently closed up to him.
Yin Shaojie did not move but only said, ¡°Raise your hands.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao raised her hands very obediently.
¡°Put them on my shoulders.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao followed his instructions.
¡°Then,ce your fingers together.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao continued toply.
¡°Then¡¡± Yin Shaojie said with his deep voice, sounding a little amused as he leaned his forehead forward, pressing it against hers. ¡°Just maintain this position.¡±
So Mu Xiaoxiao remained in that position, with her arms around his neck and her forehead touching his.
Since he was not taking liberties with her, she had really believed him, thinking that this posture would really help her recall what she had forgotten.
She batted her eyes and asked, ¡°And then?¡±
¡°Keep it like this and stop talking.¡± Yin Shaojie said as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
The two were very close, looking into each other¡¯s eyes.
It seemed as if the person opposite was the only one in their world.
After a while, Mu Xiaoxiao said gloomily, ¡°I still don¡¯t remember it.¡±
¡°You¡¯re not focusing,¡± Yin Shaojie furrowed his brows and reproached her.
¡°I was focused!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said.
Yin Shaojie was speechless.
I am letting you focus on looking at me so that I will be the only one you see and feel, not make you think about whatever that you had forgotten.
It was Yin Shaojie¡¯s turn to be gloomy.
How rare for him to have created such a romantic scenario, yet she still didn¡¯t get it?
Yin Shaojie suddenly cradled the back of her head with one hand, letting their lipse closer. His warm breathnded over her face, and he said in a deep, husky voice, ¡°How about this?¡±

Their lips were very close as if they were going to kiss.
But Yin Shaojie was very naughty. As if it was meant deliberately, he brushed his lips past hers very slightly, but they never really touched.
This gave Mu Xiaoxiao a fuzzy feeling instead.
Seriously!
Just when she thought he wasn¡¯t going to take liberties with her, he immediately did otherwise.
Mu Xiaoxiao pretended to be calm as she stared at his eyes and asked, ¡°Just what are you trying to do?¡±
Yin Shaojie only smiled and didn¡¯t answer her as if he wanted her to figure it out herself.
Mu Xiaoxiao really couldn¡¯t understand what this rascal was up to.
In such a suggestive atmosphere, he would normally have already pounced on her, eaten her little mouth, kissed her, and hugged her, wouldn¡¯t he?
However¡
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lower lip. She felt that it was actually quitefortable. Pressing their foreheads together reminded her of how they were always inseparable when they were young. Even if they were sitting and ying on the carpet, they would always be close to each other.
She smiled faintly and felt his warmth.
¡°Your forehead seems a bit cool. Did you catch a cold?¡±
Yin Shaojie saw that she had finally focused on him and said satisfactorily, ¡°It¡¯s not my forehead that is cold, it is yours that is hot. It¡¯s hotter because you just blew your hair.¡±
¡°Oh yeah, I forgot.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue.
She forgot that the two were close, and the small tongue that stuck out identally brushed past Yin Shaojie¡¯s thin lips.
Yin Shaojie teased her in a husky voice, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, are you seducing me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little face flushed a little, and she strongly denied it. ¡°No! That was just idental¡¡±
This rascal really had a dirty mind.
Yin Shaojie seemed amused. ¡°Then, repeat that ident.¡±
He watched her expression.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heartbeat elerated and suddenly felt that the air between them was very hot, so she subconsciously wanted to distance herself from him.
But Yin Shaojie seemed as if he knew what she wanted to do upon noticing her small movement, and he immediately pulled her little waist in tightly and prevented her from escaping.
¡°Where are you trying to run. You¡¯re not allowed to run!¡±
She always ran away at the slightest embarrassment. He ought to rectify this shoring of hers.
Mu Xiaoxiao pressed her forehead against his and pouted. ¡°Are you done messing around?¡±
Yin Shaojie replied confidently, ¡°No! You¡¯re not even cooperating.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or cry. ¡°Yin Shaojie, why am I only finding out now that you are¡¡±
So childish!
However, thinking about how he wanted to be close to her, Mu Xiaoxiao was still very happy and thought it was very sweet.
¡°Well, how about this?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, hugging tighter on his neck, and they got closer again, more than before with only a little gap between them.
Yin Shaojie said satisfactorily, ¡°Not bad, but you can still get closer.¡±
Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao moved in a little closer.
¡°Closer.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shifted in closer again.
Their lips, like before, seemed like they were touching each other.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart thumped madly as if there was a little deer ramming it randomly from inside.
At such a close distance, Yin Shaojie could almost see the skin on her small face as if there were no pores, and her eyshes were long and curled, like a pair of butterflies about to dance.
Perhaps it was because his gaze was too direct and too scorching.

Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little face was getting hotter, feeling as if she was about to be sucked into his jet ck pupils.
¡°A little closer,¡± Yin Shaojie said in a deep and bewitching voice.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused. ¡°Your face is so hot¡¡±
The corner of his mouth turned up. ¡°Dummy, it¡¯s your face that is getting hot.¡±
She must be oblivious as to how red her face looked. It was simply¡ Well, it was simply tastier than a fresh strawberry.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stubborn and just wouldn¡¯t admit that she was the one who was blushing.
¡°No! It¡¯s clearly you¡¡±
With a sly look, she mocked him, ¡°Yin Shaojie, you¡¯re not having a fever again, are you? You¡¯re really useless. You¡¯re so weak.¡±
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes.
Does this wretch know what she is talking about?
She actually told a man that he was weak?
Doesn¡¯t she know that in these kinds of situations, men will use women as a proving ground that their body wasn¡¯t weak?
Yin Shaojie grabbed her little hand and ced it on his elegant face.
¡°Feel it. See if it¡¯s mine that is hot or yours that is hot.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao really went to feel it.
Actually, this was the first time that she had touched his face like this, his tall nose and sexy thin lips¡
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered the night on the cruise ship when he had a fever and was so clingy that he wouldn¡¯t let her go.
And his body was really hot then, so when he kissed her, it was hot too.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened suddenly.
The cruise¡
William¡
Annie!
As though she had woke up from a daze, she suddenly pushed Yin Shaojie away, almost jumping up in excitement. ¡°I remembered! I remembered!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue and knocked her fist against her head.
¡°I actually forgot such an important thing.¡±
Yin Shaojie was baffled as he saw her knocking on her own head, and he grabbed her wrist.
¡°Okay, so you remembered, but you don¡¯t have to hit yourself. What did you forget?¡±
It made him very curious. What exactly could have been so important to her?
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly. ¡°It¡¯s William¡¯s sister. She came to China to find me, but William was worried and wanted me to find her soon¡¡±
She hadn¡¯t forgotten about the matter before. But it was only until the exam today that came so suddenly, which made her flustered and turned her brain into paste, that she had actually forgotten such an important thing.
Yin Shaojie frowned. ¡°His sister came to China to find you? Are you close friends with her sister?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°In fact, Annie is about the same age as me. If I¡¯m not wrong, she was¡ a few months younger than me.¡±
Upon remembering the matter, Mu Xiaoxiao quickly called William with her phone.
Seeing her ignore him, Yin Shaojie felt awkward, but there was nothing he could do about it.
He got down from the sofa and went to the washroom.
¡°Where are you going?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked casually.
¡°Shower.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t understand him. ¡°Didn¡¯t you take a shower at the basketball stadium?¡±
¡°I¡¯m taking a cold shower,¡± Yin Shaojie gave a detailed reply this time with implied meaning in his words.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled and looked at him surprised. ¡°Why were you going to take a cold shower? The weather is cold now, don¡¯t¡¡±
Before she could finish speaking, the phone just happened to get connected.
¡°Xiaoxiao?¡± William¡¯s voice came through the phone.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t pay attention to Yin Shaojie anymore, so she put aside the question about cold shower.
Yin Shaojie red at her before turning into the washroom.

¡°William, has Annie contacted you? I¡¯m sorry, I suddenly had an exam right after I came back. The exams today got me so dizzy that I forgot you told me about this,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao apologized to William.
Originally, she had prepared to find Song Shijun in school today to help her with this matter.
After all, Song Shijun¡¯s father was the mayor, and he should be able to help.
William¡¯s voice was a little hoarse like he had just woken up. ¡°Oh¡ it¡¯s okay, she contacted me, saying that she had forgotten to make contact. She seemed to have gone to some old town to y, and she said that it was very pretty there.¡±
¡°Old town¡ China has many of those. Then, did she say whether she came to City A, my hometown?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to get some useful information from him.
Though Annie had already contacted William, he must still worry about her, so Mu Xiaoxiao knew that she still had to find Annie.
¡°Let me think. She seemed to have mentioned it¡ Hey! Stop messing around!¡±
As he was speaking, his tone seemed to be weirder.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. ¡°Uh¡ Are you with Reiter?¡±
Had she interrupted them?
Then, there was some rustling sound over the phone. The two seems to be scuffling?
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to havee to a standstill.
She didn¡¯t dare to speak.
William¡¯s voice gasped and said, ¡°Don¡¯t mind him. Where were we? Yes, Annie said that she was ying near the periphery of City A, but¡ I don¡¯t quite believe her. So Xiaoxiao, can you please find her as soon as possible? I will feel much more at ease if you were with her.¡±
¡°Okay, I got it! I have a lot of friends here. I will contact them now and ask them to help me find her,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said hurriedly, wanting to hang up the phone soon.
Because she had encountered this type of situation before, she knew the next thing that happened would be¡
The next second, William moaned, ¡°Bastard! I told you to stop it. I¡¯m talking to Xiaoxiao¡ mmmh¡ uhh! Damn it, when will you learn to stop getting jealous of Xiaoxiao?¡±
Gradually, William¡¯s voice seemed to be getting weirder and weirder.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked as though she had expected it because she had encountered this type of situation more than once.
Although Reiter always seemed to have a cold demeanor, he was extremely possessive of William.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly said, ¡°Well uh¡ I won¡¯t bother you then. I will contact you again when there is news, goodbye!¡±
Like a puff of smoke, she hung up the phone without waiting for William to respond.
Mu Xiaoxiao patted her chest and heaved a sigh of relief.
No wonder she had felt so odd about how William¡¯s voice was so hoarse when she had just picked up the phone.
Evidently, he was being tormented by Reiter again¡
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face became red.
She had already known what went on between William and Reiter, and she would only feel a little embarrassed from it usually.
However, this time¡ it reminded her of herself.
¡°Hey, you were only making a call. What¡¯s with that expression?¡± Yin Shaojie said suddenly, clearly displeased.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled for a moment and snapped out of it before looking up at him. ¡°You¡¯re done showering already?¡±
Yin Shaojie had already changed into his pajamas, pinching his eyebrows as he walked up to her. Then, he lifted her chin as if he was interrogating her. ¡°What were you talking to him about just now? What¡¯s¡ with the bashful look?¡±
Chapter 486 - He Must Have Done It On Purpose!
Chapter 486: He Must Have Done It On Purpose!
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
When he was finished speaking, displeasure and jealousy was written all over his face.
Mu Xiaoxiao swatted away his hand, avoiding his gaze as she said, ¡°When was I bashful? I was just talking to William about some serious matter. It was a serious matter! Do you understand?¡±
¡°What serious matter?¡± Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes as he stared at her and continued to probe, looking intent to get to the bottom of things.
¡°Didn¡¯t I just tell you? It¡¯s Annie. It¡¯s regarding his sister¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was just about to tell him about the matter with Annie.
Ding-Dong! Ding-Dong!
Then, the doorbell rang.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s jet-ck eyes turned to nce at the door impatiently.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°It should be food delivery. Let¡¯s eat first, and I¡¯ll tell you while we eat, okay?¡±
Seeing him grim-faced, she dared not let him go out to face people lest he scared the delivery man.
So Mu Xiaoxiao went over and opened the door.
Sure enough, it was a food deliveryman.
Mu Xiaoxiao instructed him to put the food on the table. Then, she gave him a tip and let him leave quickly.
When she turned back, Yin Shaojie was still standing at the same spot.
Mu Xiaoxiao walked over to him, hugged his arm, and pulled him over.
She suddenly remembered what William said earlier and couldn¡¯t help but smile and say to him, ¡°I told you, William is just my friend. Moreover, he has a boyfriend. When will you learn not to get jealous of him?¡±
Yin Shaojie snorted and said with great conviction, ¡°When I¡¯m dead!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She didn¡¯t know how to reply to him, unsure whether tough or cry as she thought that he looked cute when he was jealous.
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed and said, ¡°Even if I like William, this is hypothetically speaking! Do you know how scary Reiter is? Give me a hundred guts, and I still won¡¯t dare to steal his boyfriend!¡±
Sometimes, just looking at Reiter¡¯s cold expression would send shivers down her spine.
When she was reminded of who Reiter really was¡ the more she didn¡¯t dare to approach him.
If it weren¡¯t for William, she would have ran away the moment she saw Reiter.
Yin Shaojie seemed to have understood her as his expression began to ease up, and he sat down and said, ¡°You still haven¡¯t answered the question. Why were you blushing if you were talking to him about a serious matter?¡±
¡°Sigh, it¡¯s just¡¡± Upon bringing up the topic, Mu Xiaoxiao was reminded of the sounds that she heard earlier, and her face flushed again.
Yin Shaojie was observing her keenly. ¡°Look! You dare to say that you weren¡¯t blushing!¡±
¡°¡¡± Caught red-handed, Mu Xiaoxiao looked helpless.
¡°Fine, I¡¯ll tell, okay?¡± She finally didn¡¯t know what else to do with him. Although it was interesting at times to see him jealous, he shouldn¡¯t be getting jealous at everything!
She gave in and said evasively, ¡°Well¡ When I was talking to William about the matter, Reiter seemed to be beside him¡ and then¡ William seemed to have just woke up, and¡ Aiyah, they are a couple; you should get it!¡±
Must she spell it out for him to make him understand?
Yin Shaojie stunned for a moment. Obviously, given his intellect, it was natural that he would understand.
But there was mischief in his eyes as he pretended to be puzzled and said deliberately, ¡°I don¡¯t get it.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She thought he was saying that on purpose.
He¡¯s saying that on purpose!
He was clearly a smart guy, and she had already given very obvious hints. How could he not get it!

Chapter 487: Polluted With That Kind Of Thoughts
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him and said, ¡°Are you kidding me? How can you not get it? Don¡¯t you spend all your time thinking about¡ that kind of thing? Don¡¯t you boys think about that kind of thing all the time? How can you not get it!¡±
Yin Shaojie shrugged his shoulders and said innocently, ¡°What are you talking about? What kind of thing is that? Can you make yourself clear? You obviously weren¡¯t exining it clearly, so how do you expect me to understand what you are saying? Can¡¯t you just be more direct about it?¡±
¡°You¡ You¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pointed at him. He was going to be the death of her!
¡°You already know it anyways! I¡¯m not talking about it anymore! I¡¯m starving, and I want to eat! I¡¯m not talking to you anymore!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to argue with him anymore, so she simply picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
Because she had always been eating at five-star restaurants, she was getting tired of it and suddenly had a craving for spicy food today, so she asked him to order from a Hunan cuisine restaurant.
Mu Xiaoxiao picked a piece of poached sliced fish in chili oil and couldn¡¯t help but exim, ¡°China¡¯s delicacies are still the best! I haven¡¯t eaten it in a long time. It¡¯s really delicious!¡±
Though spicy food made her feel high, after eating a few mouthfuls, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t stand it and started sniffing.
Yin Shaojie cast a nce at her, then turned around, stood up, and walked over the fridge to get a bottle of mineral water. Then, he unscrewed the cap and handed it to her.
¡°Thanks,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao took it and gulped down the water.
Yin Shaojie seemed displeased as he stared at her and said, ¡°So what were you talking to him about when you were talking about his sister?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was chewing the boiled beef in her mouth as she said unclearly, ¡°Well, I was just telling him that I will help him find her. Oh yeah, you gotta help, okay? I can¡¯t do much by myself, so I have to count on you. Although Annie hasn¡¯t gotten into any trouble yet, I¡¯m still worried about her.¡±
When she said it herself, she thought that it was quite surprising.
A pretty girl like Annieing to a foreign country, how did she not get into trouble?
It¡¯s not that she wanted to curse Annie, but Annie was often caught up in problems with boys back in the States.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt more worried the more she thought about it. She started to eat faster as well, nning to make a phone call to Song Shijun after eating to ask him for help finding Annie.
Yin Shaojie frowned and stared at her. ¡°Slow down. Also, aren¡¯t you afraid of getting a stomach ache at night if you eat so much spicy food?¡±
¡°Pooh! Are you cursing me?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao red at him, and she finished her meal in a few mouthfuls.
She put down the chopsticks, quickly went to get her phone, and called Song Shijun.
¡°Shijun, I am looking for you for help¡¡±
Then, she exined the matter of finding Annie to Song Shijun.
¡°Is there a photo?¡± Song Shijun asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat cross-legged on the sofa and nodded. ¡°Yes! Gimme a minute. I¡¯ll go find it, and I¡¯ll send it to youter.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao hung up the phone and began to search through the photos in her phone, but her phone was bought before she returned to China. The photos she had taken with Annie before were saved on theputer in her home in the States, so it wasn¡¯t on her phone.
¡°What should I do¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was worried.
Yin Shaojie had also finished his meal. After quickly clearing up the garbage, he walked over to sit next to her and snatched away her phone in one swoop.
¡°It¡¯s veryte. Go take a shower and go to sleep. You can talk again tomorrow.¡±
¡°But¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao reached out her hand trying to snatch back the phone.
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°I have a way to find people even without photos. Does that make you feel better now?¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him in disbelief. ¡°Really? How do you find someone without a photo?¡±
Yin Shaojie reached out his hand and squeezed her cheek. ¡°Are you dense! Since she came to China, she must have an immigration record, right? She must have stayed at a hotel, right? We¡¯ll just start searching from there, and very quickly, perhaps when you wake up tomorrow, we will have found her already. So you can hurry up and and go take a shower.¡±
¡°Wow, you are amazing! Yin Shaojie, you were that awesome?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was about to have a whole new level of respect for him.
Yin Shaojie liked to see the look of her admiring him, he smiled and said, ¡°Did you just realized that now?¡±
With his power, it wasn¡¯t difficult to find someone in City A.
Unless that person was deliberately hidden from him.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly sped her stomach, and she furrowed her brows.
Yin Shaojie seemed to be able to notice very quickly every little thing that was off about her as he looked at her worriedly. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? See, you are getting a stomach ache now, aren¡¯t you? Didn¡¯t I tell you not to order such spicy dishes, yet you still ordered the most spicy one!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao yelled at him unhappily, ¡°It¡¯s all your fault!¡±
Yin Shaojie was puzzled. ¡°Why is it my fault? You were the one who ordered that dish, and you were the one who ate it. Now you are getting a stomach ache, and you are ming me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her abdomen. Feeling fine already, she put down her hands.
¡°Of course, I have to me you! I was fine initially, then you said it, and then it happened just like you said!¡±
Yin Shaojie was speechless.
She¡¯s ming me for this?
Mu Xiaoxiao stood up and said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯m not talking to you anymore. I¡¯m going to take a shower! I¡¯m really exhausted today. Why are exams so tiring? Students in China really have it tough.¡±
She walked to the room as shemented.
Yin Shaojie sat on the sofa and watched her take out her pajamas from the room and walk into the bathroom.
He picked up his phone and called people to investigate into Annie¡¯s matter.
¡¡
On a certain floor in the condominium downstairs.
When An Zhixin returned to the condominium, it was alreadyte. She looked dazed and listless. Even when she saw Wang Shiyuing out from the shower, she didn¡¯t say hello.
Wang Shiyu looked at her and asked curiously, ¡°Zhixin, why are you back sote? Shouldn¡¯t the basketball game have ended early?¡±
An Zhixin walked into the bathroom and washed her face before she came out.
Wang Shiyu didn¡¯t seem to notice something wrong with her. She followed An Zhixin and said suggestively, ¡°You didn¡¯t meet with Young Master Jie, did you? What did you do with him to have came back sote? Zhixin, tell me quickly. Don¡¯t put me in suspense!¡±
She thought that An Zhixin was deliberately pretending to be very unhappy and feeling ecstatic inside.
An Zhixin frowned and found her annoying, so she went to the sofa and sat down as she didn¡¯t want to be bothered by Wang Shiyu.
Wang Shiyu followed and sat next to her, egging on An Zhixin to talk to her, ¡°Zhixin, tell me! Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know. You don¡¯t like watching basketball usually. This time, you went to be cheerleaders at Shangde to find Young Master Jie, right? I know what you were trying to do; you can¡¯t deceive me.¡±
Actually, Wang Shiyu had also wanted to follow her.
Even if she wouldn¡¯t go there for Young Master Jie, in such an elite school like Shangde, perhaps there was chance for her to meet some rich young master?

However, Wang Shiyu had a date with a man, and because it didn¡¯t seem good to cancel it, she couldn¡¯t follow her.
¡°Zhixin, tell me. Did you meet with Young Master Jie?¡±
An Zhixin sighed and said, ¡°I met with him¡¡±
However, she might as well not have met with him.
Wang Shiyu appeared pleasantly surprised with a meaningful look on her face, and she pped her hands and said, ¡°So how did he treat you? Oh Zhixin, you should be more proactive. You should also have seen how big and beautiful Shangde is, right? Don¡¯t you envy the people who study there? I¡¯m so envious! I wish I could study at Shangde.¡±
¡°Zhixin, you have the chance now. Think about it. If you be Young Master Jie¡¯s woman, you just need to act coquettishly with him, and who knows, he might just help you transfer to Shangde! I heard that Shangde was opened by Young Master Jie¡¯s family, so he has great authority in Shangde. As long as he says the word, it would not be a problem!¡±
Wang Shiyu¡¯s fantasies became increasingly wonderful.
Perhaps, as a friend of An Zhixin, she could even get some benefits?
When the time came, she could let An Zhixin tell Young Master Jie that she couldn¡¯t bear parting with her good friend and let Young Master Jie have her also transferred to Shangde. How wonderful would that be!
If this was the old An Zhixin, she would have felt moved upon hearing those words.
However, it was not the same today. After what An Zhixin had experienced in that earlier incident, she felt dejected.
She already knew what she meant to Yin Shaojie.
She was nothing to him!
Perhaps, at the beginning, Yin Shaojie had regarded her as a childhood friend, so he had cared for her and treated her well.
But now, he obviously hated her.
Therefore, those fantasies that Wang Shiyu were talking about would nevere true!
An Zhixin continued to ruminate, her knees bent before her chest, and she couldn¡¯t help but grab her hair.
Wang Shiyu continued to prattle on..
¡°So Zhixin, you must hold on to Young Master Jie! You can¡¯t let go of such a good man! Eh, oh yeah, what about that matter? How did Young Master Jie react after hearing that you are moving away? Did he try to make you stay?¡±
Of course, they didn¡¯t really wanted to move.
It was only a scheme that they came up with, betting that Yin Shaojie would definitely make An Zhixin stay, so they purposely wrote a letter saying that they would be moving today.
Hearing the mention of this, An Zhixin miserably forced a smile and said, ¡°No¡ he didn¡¯t ask me to stay¡¡±
Not only did he not make me stay.
He even said that he didn¡¯t know me.
Just remembering the words that Yin Shaojie said and his look of indifference, An Zhixin was deeply hurt as if someone had torn open her heart and then put ice in it, making her feel so cold inside.
She already knew that what she did was wrong¡
But why couldn¡¯t he amodate her?
She couldn¡¯t help but remember the way that Yin Shaojie would look at Mu Xiaoxiao. It seemed that no matter what Mu Xiaoxiao did, he would still be tolerant and amodating of her.
An intense wave of jealousy surged within her..
Why!
Why is Mu Xiaoxiao so lucky to be able to have everything!
But she had nothing!
An Zhixin had never felt such hatred toward the heavens before. Why was her fate so pathetic and Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s so perfect.
It¡¯s not fair!
Compared to Mu Xiaoxiao, she had a greater need for someone to show concern for her. She had a greater need for someone to care for her. She had a greater need for someone to be her safe harbor.
The more she thought, the worse she felt, and her tears couldn¡¯t be held back as they rushed out in a torrent.

Chapter 490: Stubbornly Refusing To Leave

Seeing her break into tears after saying that, Wang Shiyu was startled..
¡°Zhixin, what¡¯s the matter? Don¡¯t be sad! How is it possible for Young Master Jie not to ask you to stay? Maybe it¡¯s because he didn¡¯t see the letter? Yeah, he must have not seen it! He didn¡¯t know that you will be moving and didn¡¯t ask you to stay.¡±
At this moment, Wang Shiyu also started to panic.
How is it possible that Young Master Jie didn¡¯t ask her to stay? How could he not ask her to stay!
They were only pretending and never really intended to move away.
If he really didn¡¯t ask her to stay, then what should they do?
Wang Shiyu didn¡¯t want to move away!
Having lived in such a luxurious condominium for the first time in her life, she felt like she was enjoying a rich person¡¯s lifestyle.
Oftentimes when she had nothing to do in the apartment, she couldn¡¯t help but imagine herself as the daughter of a rich family and that this was her own apartment.
Even if she knew it was a fantasy, she still wanted to continue dreaming!
An Zhixin shook her head and looked up at the ceiling, letting the tears roll down her cheeks.
She sobbed and said to Wang Shiyu, ¡°Shiyu¡ let¡¯s move out tomorrow¡¡±
¡°Tomorrow?¡± Wang Shiyu was astonished.
But she didn¡¯t want to move out!
She wanted to live here for the rest of her life!
Wang Shiyu was so anxious that she quickly advised An Zhixin, ¡°No, let¡¯s not move away, okay? Zhixin, talk to Young Master Jie again and tell him to let us stay for a while more, okay? Anyways, his family is so rich and must have a lot of apartments; they won¡¯t be missing this one!¡±
However, An Zhixin was very firm with her decision this time.
She said, ¡°No, I have already decided. We must move out.¡±
¡°Why!¡± Wang Shiyu couldn¡¯t understand and was even more unwilling to ept it, her eyes widening in rage.
¡°So what if Young Master Jie really didn¡¯t ask us to stay? If we refuse to leave, he can¡¯t just drive us away, can he? Given his social status, he can¡¯t resort to do such an embarrassing thing! Having lived here for so long, he should also be afraid of others gossiping about him, so he definitely won¡¯t drive us away!¡±
Wang Shiyu tried hard to convince her.
¡°Zhixin, think about it. If you leave here, then you are finished! How do you expect to still chase after Young Master Jie? You won¡¯t even have the chance to see him! If you move out of here, you will bepletely distant from him, you know that? Are you sure want to end it like this?¡±
Wang Shiyu had already made up her mind that she would not leave.
She wouldn¡¯t believe it. Don¡¯t all rich people like Young Master Jie value their reputation?
If Young Master Jie were to really drive her away, then she would make amotion out of it, and she would see just who would be the one losing face in the end!
Wang Shiyu¡¯s ideas became more and more extreme.
She had even thought about changing the lock so that Young Master Jie wouldn¡¯t be able to take back the apartment.
Hearing what Wang Shiyu said, An Zhixin¡¯s expression grew pale and grim.
She simply couldn¡¯t believe it!
How could Wang Shiyu still believe that she was in the right? As if they could just stay in another person¡¯s apartment with a clear conscience.
An Zhixin was very determined this time.
She wiped her tears and said to Wang Shiyu very seriously. ¡°Shiyu, I know that you¡¯re doing this for my own good. But think about it. He already has a bad impression of me now. If I said that I was going to move out and I don¡¯t move out and stubbornly refuse to leave, then wouldn¡¯t he have a worse impression of me?¡±

If it were to continue like this, then she would even lose her one in ten thousand chance of being with Yin Shaojie!
¡°Even if this is the case, you don¡¯t have to move out! In any case, I don¡¯t agree. I definitely won¡¯t move out!¡±
Wang Shiyu had bepletely unreasonable.
She wouldn¡¯t listen to a word that An Zhixin said. As long as it was anything about moving out, she refused to listen.
An Zhixin smiled bitterly. ¡°Shiyu¡ This isn¡¯t our apartment! He only lent it temporarily out of pity for me so that I could stay here. I will have to leave sooner orter. From the beginning, I¡¯ve¡ never belonged here.¡±
As she said, An Zhixin couldn¡¯t help but look around the apartment, her eyes filled with the unwillingness to leave.
Why would she want to move away¡
Who wouldn¡¯t want to live in such a fine apartment?
Could she even afford to live in such an luxurious condominium even if she worked her entire lifetime?
An Zhixin lowered her head and couldn¡¯t help but feel the sofa made of genuine leather. It was very soft andfortable.
She could still remember how she would lie on the sofa to watch TV and then fall asleep unknowingly.
And when she woke up just as the sun was setting, she could look out from the French window and see the orange-red sunset outside.
It was truly beautiful.
An Zhixin turned her gaze toward the French window.
It had already gotten dark, so there was no afterglow, but the view was great. She could see the endless stream of cars and neon lights in the city.
The scenery at night was also as beautiful.
How could she bear to leave this ce?
An Zhixin¡¯s eyes became watery again, and tears couldn¡¯t stop falling.
Wang Shiyu was no longer caring about whether she was crying and said angrily, ¡°Zhixin, why won¡¯t you understand? If you still want Young Master Jie, then you shouldn¡¯t move out! You can use other ways to leave a good impression of yourself. It¡¯s not like moving out is the only way! Aren¡¯t you silly! You¡¯re really going to be the death of me! What exactly is going on in that head of yours?¡±
Wang Shiyu grew angrier as she talked, and she even went over and poked An Zhixin¡¯s head with her finger as if she was trying to wake her up and change her mind.
An Zhixin frowned and brushed her hand off. ¡°I am very clear-headed!¡±
It was because she was clear-headed that she had to leave this ce.
Wang Shiyu rebutted loudly, ¡°You are not clear-headed! You are not at all clear-headed! Repeat after me. ¡®We won¡¯t move! We definitely won¡¯t move!¡¯ Do you hear me!¡±
An Zhixin stared at her in disbelief as if she had never seen her so shameless before.
¡°We will move! We have to move! No matter what you say, I have already decided that we will move out tomorrow!¡±
An Zhixin had no intention to continue arguing with her.
She got up from the sofa, went into her room, and mmed the door.
Maddened, Wang Shiyu ran over and banged on the door. ¡°Do you think you can shut me up by closing the door? I won¡¯t move out! I just refuse to leave this ce! I¡¯ll see what he can do to me!¡±
Inside the room.
An Zhixin leaned back against the door and slid down, sitting on the floor and running her fingers through her hair in frustration.
Outside the room.
Not getting a response from her, Wang Shiyu kicked the door in a fit of rage.
¡°You idiot! I have seen stupid people, but I haven¡¯t seen anyone as stupid as you!¡±
¡
In the apartment on the top floor of the condominium.
The two figures hugged each other as they slept. Outside the window, bright stars filled the dark night sky.
It was alreadyte at night, and hardly any cars were shing across the bridge in the distance.
However, in this moment in the middle of the night.
Yin Shaojie was originally sleeping soundly, but he suddenly felt someone in his embrace tossing and turning as if she was feeling very ufortable.

Chapter 492: How Could He Just Leave Her Alone?
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
In the darkness, Yin Shaojie opened his eyes to look at the person in his arms.
The room was silent as if the drop of a needle could be clearly heard.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s long arm reached over to grab Mu Xiaoxiao, trying to find out what was up with her.
However, when he touched her hand, he was shocked.
Why is her hand so cold!
He could even feel her trembling.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s sleepy feeling was dispelled at once, and he realized that Mu Xiaoxiao was shaking all over.
¡°Xiaoxiao? What¡¯s the matter?¡± he asked in a low voice.
His big hand touched her forehead to check if she had gotten a fever.
Little did he expect that he only felt cold from the touch!
This time, Yin Shaojie was really frightened. He turned over and switched on the bedsidemp. He turned over the person in his arms to check on her anxiously.
¡°Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao. Are you not feeling well?¡±
Seeing her eyes closed looking like she was asleep, Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t afford to worry about that as he shook her to wake her up.
He was afraid that the lights were too ring, so he turned the bedsidemp to its lowest brightness.
He brushed his hand across her forehead, and cold sweat was all over his hand.
Yin Shaojie looked down at her and saw that Mu Xiaoxiao was curled up, her hands wrapping her stomach.
He frowned. Had he really prophesied it to happen?
¡°Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, wake up. Are you having a stomachache?¡±
She was already feeling so ufortable; how could she still continue sleeping?
Finally, after calling her for two times, Mu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and said with a hoarse voice, ¡°I¡¯m not having a stomachache¡ Never mind, I¡¯m fine. Go to sleep.¡±
The wrinkle in Yin Shaojie¡¯s brows became deeper as he felt that there was something wrong with her.
He thought that she was sleeping so soundly that she hadn¡¯t even realized that she was ufortable.
But seeing at her like this, it seemed like she was aware that she was feeling ufortable, and she probably even knew where she was feeling ufortable, but she had chosen to endure it.
¡°Where exactly are you feeling ufortable?¡± Yin Shaojie was frantic with worry.
Wouldn¡¯t this wretch realize that he wouldn¡¯t just leave her alone like that?
Watching her breaking out in cold sweat and sleeping so poorly, how could he sleep!
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed very hesitant. Her face was stuck on the pillow, and she seemed to have mumbled something but it wasn¡¯t clear.
¡°Tell me! Are you trying to drive me up the wall!¡±
Yin Shaojie finally couldn¡¯t help but rebuke angrily.
Seeing her feeling so ufortable like this and not telling him, had she not considered how worried he would be?
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and raised her voice, saying, ¡°It¡¯s¡ Aunt Flo 1 came to visit, so it¡¯s fine. I will endure it for a while, and it¡¯ll be fine when I fall asleep. Let¡¯s talk when we wake up.¡±
It was already sote, and he was also sleeping so soundly, so she didn¡¯t want to wake him.
Yin Shaojie still thought she was having a stomachache and didn¡¯t expect to hear this answer.
He stared nkly and said, ¡°Aunt¡ Flo?¡±
Who¡¯s that?
Mu Xiaoxiao exined awkwardly, ¡°That is¡ the thing thates every month for girls! You are so annoying! You don¡¯t know anything about this. I know what¡¯s going on. I¡¯ll be fine. I just need to go to sleep.¡±
Yin Shaojie finally realized. It was the thing the that came every month for girls.
He frowned as he watched her grimace, her hands wrapping her abdomen and cold sweat gradually forming on her forehead again.
¡°Do you¡ feel so ufortable every time ites?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked pained as she said, ¡°No¡ I don¡¯t know why it¡¯s so ufortable this time¡¡±

Yin Shaojie thought something was not right and asked quizzically, ¡°Haven¡¯t you returned to China for more than a month? Doesn¡¯t this thinge once a month? It¡¯s quite punctual, right? Why didn¡¯t I see you like this before?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him. ¡°Must I tell you every time Aunt Floes? I told you, it¡¯s not so ufortable usually, so you wouldn¡¯t notice it.¡±
Girls had the ability to secretly dispose of their used sanitary pads without others knowing.
How could she let him notice it?
That would be so awkward!
Yin Shaojie frowned and asked, ¡°Then, why is it so ufortable this time? I thought that you were having a stomachache from eating spicy food.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
How could she have the cheek to say that she didn¡¯t have a stomachache? Though, her difort was mostly because of the spicy Hunan dishes.
If she were to say that, then he would definitely scold her again.
¡°Ah!¡±
Suddenly, a surge of pain shot through her body, and Mu Xiaoxiao bit her lip and let out a cry, her petite body curling up even more.
Yin Shaojie looked at her anxiously. ¡°Is it very painful? What should I do? There must be something I can do, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, ¡°Help me boil some hot water¡¡±
Isn¡¯t that what they tell people to do on the Inte?
When the girlfriend¡¯s Aunt Floes to visit, the boyfriend will urge her to drink more hot water.
But it was mainly because Mu Xiaoxiao had never felt so much pain before, so she had no experience of how she should relieve the pain.
¡°Oh yeah, is there brown sugar at home?¡±
She suddenly thought about this.
Don¡¯t they say that drinking water with brown sugar can ease the pain?
Yin Shaojie helped her wipe off the cold sweat and then came down from the bed. ¡°I¡¯ll go out to look for it. Wait here for me. Bear with it for awhile.¡±
Seeing her in difort and hearing her voice so weak, he felt sorry for her.
After Yin Shaojie went out, he boiled water in the kitchen before searching around for brown sugar.
But he found that they seemed to have no brown sugar.
Because they rarely cooked in the apartment, it was normal for them not to have such ingredients.
What should I do then?
Yin Shaojie nced at the kettle. Will it work with only hot water?
Right now, every second spent waiting was torturous.
Yin Shaojie suddenly remembered something and hurriedly walked back to the room. He grabbed his phone and began to search for relevant information.
Mu Xiaoxiao still maintained her curled up posture as she watched him.
Yin Shaojie reached out his hand to help her to wipe away the cold sweat and asked her, ¡°It says here that you can take painkillers. Are you feeling a lot of pain right now?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was really feeling unwell, so she didn¡¯t lie and nodded pitifully.
Yin Shaojie had just found on the Inte that she had be like this because she ate those spicy Hunan dishes.
But how could he have the heart to me her, seeing her in great difort as she almost curled up into a ball.
¡°I am already boiling some water, but there is no brown sugar at home. I will go out now and try to find if there are any painkillers. You just lie in bed and don¡¯t move around, okay?¡± he said softly to her before leaving the bed and walking out.
Mu Xiaoxiao watched as he walked away. Although her abdomen was in pain, her heart felt warm.
Especially when he told her everything that he was going to do, she didn¡¯t have to guess what he was doing.
Yin Shaojie went out to search the medicine box but found no painkillers.
Frowning as he stared at the medicine box, he couldn¡¯t help but look back at the method found online.

Having only hot water without brown sugar water or painkillers, he didn¡¯t seem to be of much help.
It seemed that he had to go out to buy something.
Yin Shaojie did some searching on the Inte again before putting his phone into his pocket.
He didn¡¯t enter the bedroom. Instead, he went into the bathroom. When he came out, he was carrying a steaming towel in his hand.
He went to the kitchen and found a storage bag. Then, he ced the hot towel in the storage bag beforeing out of the kitchen.
Finally, he went to the bedroom.
¡°Come, put this in your stomach to keep it warm. There is no hot-water bag at home, so let¡¯s make do with this first.¡±
Yin Shaojie handed it to her and went into the changing room.
Mu Xiaoxiao obediently did as he said, putting the hot towel wrapped in the storage bag on her stomach, and she then saw Yin Shaojieing out after changing his clothes.
Surprised, she asked, ¡°Are you going out?¡±
Yin Shaojie walked over to the bed, bent down to kiss her on the lips, and said, ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m going out to buy some medicine for you, then I¡¯ll be back soon. Be good and stay at home. Call me immediately if anything happens.¡±
¡°Oh, okay. Come back soon then.¡± She didn¡¯t want to be alone sote at night.
¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be quick.¡±
Yin Shaojie adjusted the bedsidemp a little brighter so that it wouldn¡¯t be too dark for her at home. Then, he left.
Mu Xiaoxiaoid in bed, watching eagerly as he walked away.
¡
It was alreadyte at night.
The pharmacy nearby had already closed.
With no other options, Yin Shaojie drove his car to find a pharmacy that was still open.
Fortunately, it didn¡¯t take him a long time before he found a pharmacy that was still open.
He quickly parked his car on the side of the road and walked in quickly.
¡°Hello, may I ask¡ when a girl is having the thing thates every month and is in great pain, what medicine can she take to ease it?¡± Though Yin Shaojie felt quite embarrassed, for Xiaoxiao¡¯s sake, he asked the middle-aged female physician behind the counter these questions.
The female doctor nced at him and asked, ¡°Is your girlfriend having severe pains?¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded. ¡°Yes, she feels so much pain that she can¡¯t sleep, and she has been exuding cold sweat profusely. Can she take painkillers? Is there anything that can stop the pain?¡±
¡°The painkiller can only stop the pain temporarily, but if she feels so much pain every time ites, then it means that there is something wrong with her body. It is best to bring her here so that we can have a better look at her situation and prescribe some medicine for her,¡± the female physician put her hands on the counter as she said to him.
Yin Shaojie shook his head and said, ¡°She said that she doesn¡¯t feel so much difort normally. It should be because of the spicy Hunan dishes that she ate today.¡±
Hearing that, the female physician frowned. ¡°Since you know that she¡¯s having her period, why did you still let her eat spicy things? This is very bad for her health.¡±
¡°I know. I will pay more attention in the future. Can you give me some medicine first? If she can use painkillers, then I¡¯ll take some painkillers.¡± Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t want to hear her continue to lecture him.
He was worried about Mu Xiaoxiao and just wanted to go home quickly.
The female physician turned around and to search within the ss cab. Then, she took out a box of painkillers and handed it to him.
¡°This painkiller is used more specifically for this condition. In addition to taking the medicine, you can also make some brown sugar water for her to drink to warm her uterus. When this thinges for girls, they will be most afraid of getting cold. If she catches a cold, there will also be implications.¡±
As he listened to her exnation, Yin Shaojie suddenly recalled the afternoon at the basketball stadium.

He had pulled Mu Xiaoxiao into the shower stall and gotten her drenched.
What¡¯s more, the weather had be coolertely. Could she have caught a cold?
Having caught a cold and eaten spicy food, it was no wonder that Xiaoxiao would end up in this state.
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help but me himself. If he had known earlier, he wouldn¡¯t have messed around with her.
He asked, ¡°If she had caught a cold¡ and taken spicy food, should she take some other medicine?¡±
Hearing this, the female doctor stared at him as if she was ming him. ¡°Seriously¡ First, stop the pain. Then, bring her here tomorrow to let me examine her. If there are any problems, I¡¯ll then prescribe some Chinese medicine for her.¡±
¡°Thank you, Doctor.¡± Yin Shaojie took the medicine and was about to take it to the cashier to pay for it.
The female physician suddenly stopped him and said, ¡°There is one more thing, and it is very important.¡±
When he heard that it was something important, he quickly turned to look at her and said, ¡°Please continue.¡±
The female physician said bluntly, ¡°When this thinges for a girl, she must absolutely not bump bellies, you got it?¡±
Yin Shaojie was startled.
Bump¡ bellies?
He looked awkward and embarrassed as he coughed. ¡°I got it¡¡±
Seeing that he was receptive to her instructions, the female physician nodded and said, ¡°Before you do that thing usually, it is best that you take the appropriate measures. Seeing as you love your girlfriend very much, you should cherish her, you got it?¡±
Yin Shaojie replied awkwardly, ¡°Alright.¡±
The female doctor was willing to talk more to him because she could tell that he loved his girlfriend very much from how he was willing toe out and buy medicine for his girlfriend in the middle of the night.
¡°Also, whenever you do it, it¡¯s best to let her feelfortable first. Don¡¯t just care about your own pleasure, do a lot of forey before entering; otherwise, the girl will feel ufortable. This kind of thing is only meaningful when both of you are pleasured at the same time.¡±
Yin Shaojie was speechless.
He felt that if he didn¡¯t leave, the other party would continue to lecture him.
But¡ Cough! He also wanted to know more about this.
So he was hesitant. Should he leave or stay and continue to listen to her?
The female physician saw that he wasn¡¯t intending to leave, so she smiled and continued saying, ¡°And after you¡¯re done, don¡¯t just fall asleep. You need to show some affection and be nicer to the one you love, and she will love you more for it. Okay then, you should go and pay for the items. Your girlfriend is waiting for you to go back.¡±
Yin Shaojie was no longer awkward like he was before, and he nodded and said, ¡°Okay, thank you.¡±
When he was about to go, he suddenly paused, turned back again, and said to the female physician, ¡°She¡¯s not my girlfriend. She¡¯s my wife.¡±
¡
At the apartment.
Mu Xiaoxiao covered the hot towel over her stomach and seemed to be feeling much better, but she would still feel an intermittent pulsing pain from that area.
Alone in the middle of the night, she felt especially lonely.
Every second and every minute felt unbearable.
Though it was clear that Shaojie hadn¡¯t left for a very long time, Mu Xiaoxiao still felt that it had been quite a while.
She finally understood what it meant when they said ¡®time crawls when one is wretched.¡¯
The hot towel slowly cooled down. Mu Xiaoxiao then picked it up and put it on the nightstand, and she just happened to see her phone on the nightstand.
Why not make a call and ask him when he would return?
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that she didn¡¯t want any medicine anymore, wanting only for Yin Shaojie toe back to her.
Picking up her phone and checking the time, she then realized that it was already past three in the morning.
Her finger pressed open the messages page as if it had a mind of its own.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly.
The one thousand text messages that she had previously forgotten¡
She still hadn¡¯t seen them yet!

Chapter 496: One Thousand Text Messages
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Although Yin Shaojie had deleted the text messages before, because she had software that automatically created backups, she had been able to restore it at the time, but she hadn¡¯t had the time to look at it.
It was mainly because Yin Shaojie was always by her side, so she couldn¡¯t find the opportunity to read these text messages.
But now¡
Mu Xiaoxiao nced at the door. At this moment, she was instead hoping that Yin Shaojie would note back so soon.
She was also not going to call and ask when Yin Shaojie would be returning. Seizing the opportunity while Yin Shaojie was still not back yet, she quickly opened the messages to check them.
More than a thousand text messages filled her phone.
The first message that she saw, which was also thetest message, said: ¡°I really miss you¡±.
Holding her phone and seeing those words, her heart paused for half a beat before it started racing.
That guy had actually sent her such a message?
Mu Xiaoxiao was totally pleasantly surprised, and the smile on his face was just like a blooming flower and could not be more brilliant.
Scrolling up, it was mostly messages that contained the same few words with some messages in between asking her what he could do to get her attention.
Mu Xiaoxiao simply jumped to the earliest message and started reading from there.
The first message. Sure enough, it was the tone that she was familiar with.
¡ª¡ªHey, where did you go? Call me back once you read this.
¡ª¡ªYou¡¯re an idiot! Don¡¯t you know that it¡¯s dangerous outside? It¡¯s sote and you¡¯re still not back yet! Hurry up and get back home!
¡ª¡ªWhere are you? I¡¯ll go and pick you up.
¡ª¡ªAre you throwing a tantrum! Can¡¯t you just talk to me? Must you disappear like that?
¡ª¡ªMu Xiaoxiao! I¡¯m giving you one minute to reply me and tell me where you are now; otherwise, when I find you, I¡¯m gonna spank your butt!
The next few dozens of messages were almost filled with the same displeased and arrogant tone and the asional threats.
Slowly, the messages were taking a different turn.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s tone had begun to change.
¡ª¡ªDummy, where in the world are you? Do you know that I am very worried about you? Call me back soon.
¡ª¡ªIf you are unhappy, can you just tell me? I¡¯m just going to stand and wait for your call, okay? Stop ying the disappearing act.
¡ª¡ªI¡¯ll sleep on the sofa tonight, alright? You can do whatever you want, OK? Come back first.
¡ª¡ªDo you know that the whole world is going mad looking for you? At least return a message to let me know if you are safe, okay?
¡ª¡ªHurry up and text me. Anything. Even a word will do.
In the next message, Yin Shaojie seemed to have confirmed that she had returned to the States.
¡ª¡ªWhy did you go back to the States without even telling me? Don¡¯t you know you are being very petnt?
¡ª¡ªI¡¯m going to find you now. Wait for me!
¡ª¡ªMu Xiaoxiao, I¡¯m telling you, you are so dead. Just wait until I catch you. I will definitely give you a spanking.
¡ª¡ªYou never act like this even when we bickered in the past. Why didn¡¯t youe looking for me first? It¡¯d be fine even if you were to scold me! Leaving without saying goodbye, what¡¯s the meaning of that?
There were many messages after that.
Yin Shaojie began to exin his story with An Zhixin and asked if she had witnessed anything. He said that there was nothing between him and An Zhixin, that he also didn¡¯t kiss An Zhixin, and that everything was only a misunderstanding.
The timestamps of the messages were when Yin Shaojie arrived in America.
Yin Shaojie had rambled a lot again. It was all about telling Mu Xiaoxiao to give him a response, even if it was just a squeak.
¡ª¡ªDo you know how many text messages I have sent you? You won¡¯t even give me a single reply, making me look like a fool. Damn it, I am a fool!

¡ª¡ªOkay then, don¡¯t you always forbid me from saying that you¡¯re dumb or stupid? Now, I¡¯m giving you the chance to tell me that I am a fool. Aren¡¯t you going to tell me now?
¡ª¡ªI¡¯m a fool, okay?
¡ª¡ªI¡¯m a fool.
¡ª¡ªI¡¯m a fool.
Later, he sent a lot of messages mocking himself for how foolish he was.
Upon seeing this, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but snigger, holding her hand over her mouth in disbelief.
¡ª¡ªI am a fool who knows exactly who is the most important person in my heart, yet I hurt her heart for some other unimportant person.
¡ª¡ªNow the fool is promising you that he won¡¯t do this kind of stupid thing in the future anymore, okay?
¡ª¡ªI won¡¯t make you sad again for unimportant people.
¡ª¡ªCan you forgive me this time?
Not expecting Yin Shaojie to have gotten off his high horse, Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and smiled, her mood uplifted.
Looking further down¡
¡ª¡ªXiaoxiao, I¡¯m really going crazy soon. I really want to see you.
Unprepared, Mu Xiaoxiao caught sight of that message, and it startled her.
She couldn¡¯t imagine the kind of expression Yin Shaojie had when he typed that message.
For a moment, her heart seemed to be filled with something.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes seemed to be unable to turn away from the message, gazing fixedly without even blinking.
Just then, she heard the sound of the door opening.
Mu Xiaoxiao took a few seconds to snap out of it.
Bang! It was the sound of the door closing.
Yin Shaojie was back!
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. Though she had clearly hoped that he woulde back earlier, now that he had returned, she panicked and closed the messages page in a flurry and clumsily hid the cell phone beneath the nket.
Later, she thought that shouldn¡¯t hide it under the nket and quickly took it out, putting it back on the nightstand.
She covered herself with the nket again and curled herself up just like her earlier posture.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoxiao noticed that her menstrual pain wasn¡¯t so painful anymore.
However, just as the thought came to her, she felt a stinging pain from her abdomen.
Mu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and groaned out in pain, her face in a grimace.
Why didn¡¯t she feel pain when she had been reading those text messages just now?
She must have been too engrossed in it!
Just then, Yin Shaojie came in and seemed to have heard her cry as he ran to the bed inrge strides.
He asked worriedly, ¡°Is it still very painful?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at his handsome face, remembering the text messages she had just read, and the feelings she had toward him suddenly swelled, making her feel warm and very¡ full, as if her heart waspletely filled up by him.
¡°Yeah, it hurts,¡± she nodded weakly and groaned.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s big hand caressed her little face, his usual bossy voice became so unimaginably gentle.
¡°Bear with it for a while. I¡¯ll go pour some water and let you take the painkillers. It¡¯ll stop hurting very quickly.¡±
¡°Okay,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and replied.
Yin Shaojie then went out and quickly poured a cup of warm water.
He put the cup and pill on the nightstand, then reached out his hands to hold her, trying to help her sit up.
Mu Xiaoxiao had been lying all this while with a faint odd feeling.
When he started to sit her up, she then felt clearly a sticky feeling on her butt.
She suddenly froze. ¡°Wait!¡±
Just when she just moved earlier, something flowed out, and she didn¡¯t dared to make another move.
Chapter 498 - You Don’t Understand!
Chapter 498: You Don¡¯t Understand!
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
At this time, she then remembered what was below her butt was definitely¡ a mess.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt unbearably awkward, and her face reddened.
Because she had been feeling pain the entire time earlier, she hadn¡¯t thought about anything else. She could only feel pain, and the rest of the time was spent thinking about how to relieve the pain.
Because of this, she had forgotten that her pajama pants would have gotten wet with something.
She didn¡¯t even have to guess that the thing must have stained the bed sheets.
Mu Xiaoxiao was looking fretful again. What should I do now¡
How would Yin Shaojie have known what was troubling her? Seeing her remaining motionless after crying out, he thought she was feeling the pains again.
¡°Are you feeling the pain again? Bear with it first. Take the painkiller quickly, and it will be fine.¡±
He was trying to lift her up with both arms as he said.
¡°Wait¡± Mu Xiaoxiao anxiously shouted and pushed his hands away with both hands.
Yin Shaojie furrowed his eyebrows inexplicably as he totally did not understand what was wrong with her, and he asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter with you? Can you tell me if you are feeling difort anywhere?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was embarrassed with a red face. ¡°You¡ I¡ You don¡¯t understand!¡±
¡°If I don¡¯t understand, then can¡¯t you tell me?¡± Yin Shaojie sighed and said helplessly.
Mu Xiaoxiao cast a nce at him. Then, she supported herself using the bed as she sat up.
Afraid that he would see the blood stains on the sheets, she quickly pulled the nket to cover her lower body.
Yin Shaojie found her acting very weird.
However, what he was worried about now was her pain, so he urged her to take the medicine first.
¡°Take the medicine first. Then, I¡¯ll go make the brown sugar water for you.¡±
¡°Okay,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao responded cutely, the little face still revealing her embarrassment. She held the cup and found that the temperature of the water was just right, a little hotter than lukewarm but not too hot.
Yin Shaojie took out the medicine and ced it on her palm. ¡°Come on, eat it.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao picked up the pill with her fingers and put it in her mouth. Then, she frowned and quickly gulped it down with water.
Warm water flowed from her throat to inside of her stomach, warming her up along the gut.
¡°How do you feel now?¡± Yin Shaojie asked her as he watched her expression.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled. ¡°How can it act so quickly! I will lie down for a while, and the drug should soon take effect. Didn¡¯t you say you were going to get brown sugar water for me?¡±
¡°Yeah, I¡¯ll go get it now.
Seeing that she wasn¡¯t frowning like before, he felt a more relieved and went out.
Once she saw that he had gone out, Mu Xiaoxiao quickly lifted the nket and lightly stepped off the bed.
Although the drug had not taken effect and her lower abdomen was feeling some pulsing pain, she couldn¡¯t be bothered about those things.
She had to seize this opportunity.
Mu Xiaoxiao sped her stomach and tiptoed into the changing room.
She didn¡¯t dare to make a sound. Very gently, she opened the wardrobe and took out a new pair of pajama pants. Of course, she also took off her panties and changed into a fresh set of clothes.
She was too anxious as she changed her pants. In a moment¡¯s loss of bnce, she mmed into the wardrobe and made some noise.
Yin Shaojie always had a sharp ear, and naturally, he heard the sound.
Worried about what might have happened to Mu Xiaoxiao, he quickly walked back.
¡°Xiaoxiao?¡±
Hearing his call, Mu Xiaoxiao instantly grew even more anxious.
She had already put on one side of her pajama pants, and she was just about to put on the other side¡

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
However, his voice rmed her, and she lost her bnce and screamed as she fell to the ground.
¡°Xiaoxiao!¡± Yin Shaojie went into the bedroom and didn¡¯t see her on the bed, so he quickly followed her sound into the changing room.
Then, he saw her on the ground, looking wretched with her pants not worn properly.
¡°Ah¡ªdon¡¯te in! Get out!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao felt extremely embarrassed as she screamed.
Yin Shaojie was quick to notice the pajama pants and panties that she had changed out of were stained with blood.
He suddenly understood why she was acting so weird earlier.
It turned out that this girl was acting out of embarrassment!
Yin Shaojie walked over with his long legs. He didn¡¯t look amused but kept a calm expression..
First, he lifted her up, and he then helped her to pull up her pajama pants.
Mu Xiaoxiao was so embarrassed that her face was red.
Watching how she was red to her neck and ears, Yin Shaojie could tell how embarrassed she felt.
He smiled, and with his finger in a hook-shape, he scratched her nose.
¡°What¡¯s there to be shy about?¡±
With that said, he lifted her up by her waist.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned, but she could only go along with him as she hugged his neck.
Yin Shaojie then carried her out of the changing room.
When he was about to put her on the bed, Mu Xiaoxiao cried out. ¡°Eh! Don¡¯t put me on the bed!¡±
Yin Shaojie turned to look and saw from a corner of the bed that was not covered by the nket that there were blood stains on the sheets.
It turned out that the bedsheets were also stained. No wonder she kept trying to cover it with the nket just now.
Yin Shaojie turned around, carried her to the sofa, and let her sit on it.
He told her, ¡°Be good and sit down. Stop moving around again, and I¡¯ll go out and get the brown sugar water for you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s appeared awkward, but she still obediently nodded.
Within just about ten seconds, Yin Shaojie went and came back with the brown sugar water. He put it in her hand and said, ¡°Try drinking it.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao held the ss and slowly drank two mouthfuls.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t say anything to disturb her, but he ced his palm on the armrest of the armchair as he looked down at her little face.
After Mu Xiaoxiao finished half the ss, her originally paleplexion seemed to have regained some healthy color.
She looked up and nced at him, saying, ¡°It seems¡ the effect of the drug has taken effect. It¡¯s not so painful anymore.¡±
Actually, he didn¡¯t know if it was the painkillers or the brown sugar water that helped. It was fine as long as she stopped hurting.
¡°Really?¡± Yin Shaojie asked, still worrying about her. He reached out his hand and touched her forehead to feel her temperature.
Fortunately, it was no longer as cold as it was before, and she was no longer exuding cold sweat.
Her face seemed to be looking rosier.
Yin Shaojie could finally put down the huge stone that was weighing on him.
He said to her, ¡°Finish drinking the brown sugar water, and I¡¯ll go and change the bedsheets.¡±
Upon the mention of the bedsheets, Mu Xiaoxiao felt embarrassed again as she nodded.
Yin Shaojie wanted to kiss her, but he was sitting too high and it was not convenient to do it from his position. If he were to bend down, it would seem too unnatural, so he thought it was better to forget it.
He walked over to the bed and pulled out the dirty bed sheets.
Holding the ss of brown sugar water, Mu Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly as she watched Yin Shaojie.
She had never thought that there would be a day when the tyrannical and unyielding Yin Shaojie would do such things for her.
Just after finishing the remaining brown sugar water, Mu Xiaoxiao felt something oozing out from below, and her expression froze.
She had only changed her panties and pajama pants just now, but she hadn¡¯t put on her sanitary pad.
Chapter 500 - Slow Down
Chapter 500: Slow Down
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Because the sanitary pads were ced in the washroom, she would be seen by Yin Shaojie if she were to go out just now, so she just went to the changing room instead.
Mu Xiaoxiao stood up impatiently and said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°I am going to the washroom!¡±
Then she ran out.
Yin Shaojie frowned as he watched her and said, ¡°Slow down. Don¡¯t run.¡±
But Mu Xiaoxiao had already run out and gone all the way to the washroom.
After closing the door, Mu Xiaoxiao finally heaved a breath of relief.
She quickly searched for the sanitary pads in the cupboard. They were bought during herst period, and there were still a few left.
It not, then she would have to ask Yin Shaojie to go out and buy some because Yin Shaojie would definitely not let her go out and buy them.
She was embarrassed just imagining that scene!
Fortunately, she had responded quickly enough, so the stain wasn¡¯t toorge.
When Mu Xiaoxiao was done, Yin Shaojie was already waiting in the living room.
¡°Are you alright?¡± he asked in a maic voice.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little face was reddish as she awkwardly fiddled with the hair on her temples. ¡°Uh¡ It¡¯ste already, let¡¯s go to sleep.¡±
¡°Do you want me to sleep on the sofa tonight?¡± Yin Shaojie asked, still looking worried about her.
Mu Xiaoxiao immediately shook her head. ¡°No need¡ it won¡¯t affect anything.¡±
Unless he minded.
But of course, Yin Shaojie certainly wouldn¡¯t mind sleeping with her. It was just that he didn¡¯t know if girls would have any demands, such as wanting to sleep alone when this thing came for them.
But he also worried if anything might happen to her in the middle of the night.
Hearing her say that it would not affect her, he then felt reassured.
The two then returned to the bed.
The bedsheets had been reced with fresh ones. When Mu Xiaoxiao thought about what just happened, she looked embarrassed again.
Mu Xiaoxiaoid sideways and turned to look at Yin Shaojie. She saw that his eyes were closed, and with the lights off, only the moonlight from outside shined in andnded on his well-sculpted facial features.
Her little head moved closer to him.
Perhaps he was worried that she might be ufortable, so he didn¡¯t hug her like he would normally.
Although Mu Xiaoxiao understood that he was being thoughtful, she still couldn¡¯t help but feel slightly dejected, wondering if he might be avoiding her.
She rolled her eyes at herself.
Are you dumb!
He had done so much for her, how could he dislike her over this?
When Aunt Flo came to visit, girls¡¯ emotions would tend to be quite unstable.
After Mu Xiaoxiao got over it, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
¡
The next day.
In the apartment where An Zhixin lived.
It was the weekend, so she didn¡¯t have to go to ss.
At about eight o¡¯clock, Wang Shiyu had been sleeping very soundly when she was awakened by a rustling noise. She had initially wanted to sleep in on the weekend.
Wang Shiyu stretched herself, opened her eyes, and stared at An Zhixin. Puzzled, she asked, ¡°Zhixin, what are you doing?¡±
She stroke her hands on the pillows and nket that were soft as silk, and she couldn¡¯t help but sigh at how luxurious the things that rich people used were and howfortable she felt sleeping.
Wang Shiyu was sure that the best sleep she had ever had were while living in this apartment.
An Zhixin was taking the clothes out of the wardrobe and folding them into her luggage bag.
She said very calmly, ¡°I am packing my luggage. You should hurry up and pack up too.¡±
Chapter 501 - Yes, I Am Dumb.
Chapter 501: Yes, I Am Dumb.
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Wang Shiyu was stunned for a moment, then she sat up abruptly from the bed and shouted at her, ¡°Packing your luggage? Zhixin, are you dumb? Are you really going to move out?¡±
She thought that An Zhixin had only said those things because she had been throwing a temper tantrumst night, and Wang Shiyu had thought that An Zhixin would change her mind after waking up.
After all, who would want to leave such a luxurious condominium!
However, Wang Shiyu hadn¡¯t expected to see An Zhixin still looking so determined today as if she would absolutely leave today.
She can¡¯t do that!
¡°Yes, I am dumb. No matter what, I must move out. You should get up soon.¡±
Wang Shiyu said angrily, ¡°I¡¯m not getting up! I told you, I will never move. If you want to move, then move out yourself!¡±
She simplyid back and covered herself with the nket up to her neck.
Seeing her like this, An Zhixin felt powerless, but she still continued to pack her things.
Half an hourter.
An Zhixin closed the luggage bag, and she looked around as if she was thinking whether she had missed anything, yet she also looked a little reluctant to leave.
After leaving this ce, she would no longer have a chance toe back.
At nine o¡¯clock, Wang Shiyu then got out of bed slowly, washed her face, and brushed her teeth beforeing out.
She didn¡¯t want to get up so early, but she was hungry, and the breakfast that An Zhixin had made was so fragrant that she was forced to get up.
¡°Zhixin, what breakfast did you make? Wow! What a sumptuous breakfast today!¡±
An Zhixin nodded. ¡°Yeah, because today is ourst breakfast here, I specially made a more sumptuous one.¡±
¡°What a wet nket!¡± Wang Shiyu shot a re at her unhappily, and she reiterated, ¡°In any case, I won¡¯t move out.¡±
After An Zhixin moved away, she could then have the apartment all to herself¡ªjust what she wanted.
On that thought, Wang Shiyu didn¡¯t care anymore about An Zhixin moving away.
The two didn¡¯t talk, keeping to themselves as they ate breakfast.
After Wang Shiyu finished breakfast, she walked over to sofa,id down, and turned on the TV.
An Zhixin packed up the tableware, washed her hands, and walked over to her side. ¡°Shiyu, you should hurry up and pack up. I¡¯ll be waiting for you here, and we¡¯ll leave together.¡±
Wang Shiyu seemed indifferent as she cast her a nce and asked, ¡°If you don¡¯t stay here, where are you going to stay? Going back to that home?¡±
An Zhixin looked mncholic and said, ¡°No, I¡¯m going to the school¡¯s dormitory. Don¡¯t you still have an empty bed in the dormitory where you lived? I¡¯ll sleep in that bed temporarily, and I will go to the school and apply to stay at the dormitoryter.¡±
Wang Shiyu said, ¡°Sleep in my bed then, since it¡¯s empty anyways.¡±
Hearing that, An Zhixin immediately understood that she was refusing to move.
¡°Shiyu¡¡±
Just when she wanted to continue persuading her, she heard the doorbell ring.
¡°Who is it so early in the morning?¡± Wang Shiyu wondered. Suddenly her eyes lit up. ¡°Could it be Young Master Jie? He must havee to make you stay! Hurry up and go open the door, Zhixin!¡±
An Zhixin wasn¡¯t as optimistic as her, but she still went to open the door.
It wasn¡¯t Yin Shaojie at the door but a few men in suits.
The man standing in front entered, nced at both of them, and said, ¡°Are the two of you done packing up your luggage?¡±
An Zhixin stared nkly for a moment, and she quickly understood.
They were the people Yin Shaojie had sent¡
Wang Shiyu jumped from the sofa in shock, and she asked incredulously, ¡°What do you mean? Did Young Master Jie¡ sent you to drive us away? How¡¯s that possible!¡±
Chapter 502 - Driven Out Of The Apartment
Chapter 502: Driven Out Of The Apartment
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The man nced at the luggage bag next to him. With a strictly businesslike manner, he said in an unsympathetic tone.
¡°It is indeed Young Master Jie who sent us. I will ask again. Are you two done packing up your luggage? Is this it?¡±
An Zhixin replied, ¡°This is my luggage; my friend hasn¡¯t packed up yet.¡±
Wang Shiyu wasn¡¯t sopliant. Her arms akimbo, Wang Shiyu shouted in front of the man, ¡°I won¡¯t pack it! I¡¯d like to see if you will really drive me away.¡±
The man nced at his watch and said, ¡°I¡¯ll give you ten minutes to pack up.¡±
The message was clear. If she didn¡¯t pack her belongings in ten minutes¡¯ time, they would have to take forceful measures.
Wang Shiyu met his eyes, and she couldn¡¯t help but feel somewhat afraid, and her air of confidence seemed to shrink back.
She was feeling very uneasy.
They couldn¡¯t really drive her out forcefully, right?
An Zhixin said anxiously to Wang Shiyu, ¡°Shiyu, hurry up and pack up! Come on, I will help you!¡±
Wang Shiyu brushed her hand off and said willfully, ¡°No! I won¡¯t move out! I won¡¯t move out even if you kill me!¡±
With that said, she actually went back to the sofa andid therezily.
¡°Shiyu!¡± An Zhixin was mad, but she didn¡¯t know what to do with Wang Shiyu.
An Zhixin couldn¡¯t just leave her alone, so she could only stand by and wait for her.
Time passed.
Ten minutes was already up.
¡°Time is up.¡± The man put down his hand and made a gesture to his subordinates behind him.
Then, two men put on their gloves and walked into the room.
Two men walked toward Wang Shiyu. One on each side, they simply carried her up from the sofa.
¡°What are you trying to do? If you don¡¯t let me down, I¡¯m going to shout! Sexual assault! Help! They¡¯re raping me!¡±
Wang Shiyu was finally shaken as she twisted about trying to struggle free.
But the two men¡¯s arms gripped her like a chain, so she couldn¡¯t break free.
¡°Zhixin! Save me! Tell them to put me down! I don¡¯t want to go! I won¡¯t go even if you kill me!¡±
An Zhixin¡¯s face was a little pale. She didn¡¯t go up to stop them, but she dragged her luggage and followed them.
Wang Shiyu was carried into the elevator, down to the lobby on the first floor, and then they threw her out.
¡°Aiyoh! You people are too despicable! I want to call the police!¡±
With that said, she took out her phone angrily and seemed like she was really going to start dialing.
¡°Shiyu!¡± An Zhixin quickly went up to stop her and said, ¡°Can you stop messing around?¡±
The condominium they lived in was part of Yin Shaojie¡¯s business, so it¡¯d be useless even if they called the police.
But Wang Shiyu was just incensed!
When a man carrying a duffel bag threw it in front of her, Wang Shiyu grew even more furious.
She said regretfully, ¡°If I knew this would happen, I would have sold everything in the apartment! At least I could have made a little bit of money! Damn it!¡±
An Zhixin didn¡¯t expect that she would still say this and looked at her incredulously.
¡°Oh, yes!¡± Wang Shiyu suddenly smiled. She said delightedly, ¡°Don¡¯t we still have the key? Let¡¯s wait for them to go first, go back to the apartment, and then sell everything in the apartment!¡±
Because everything in the apartment were of high-end brands that they could sell for quite a bit of money, Wang Shiyuughed even more delightedly because she would be able to get back at Yin Shaojie.

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
An Zhixin frowned and said, ¡°This isn¡¯t good¡ Don¡¯t do it, Shiyu.¡±
Not even caring about the duffel bag, Wang Shiyu went straight into the condominium.
Little did she expect that just as they entered the lobby on the first floor, she was stopped by the security guard.
Security guard gave no quarter and said, ¡°Sorry, you aren¡¯t a resident here. You can¡¯t go in.¡±
Wang Shiyu exploded, ¡°Who says that I¡¯m not a resident here! You obviously remember me. I lived here! Why won¡¯t you let me in!¡±
¡°Young Master Jie has already instructed me. The apartment he loaned to you has been reimed, so you are no longer living here. Please leave.¡±
An Zhixin quickly pulled Wang Shiyu away, lest she lose even more face.
¡°Shiyu, it has alreadye to this state. Forget it then.¡±
Wang Shiyu was so angry that she kicked her duffel bag. ¡°Damn! How could they treat me like this!¡±
An Zhixin sighed and said to her, ¡°Come on. Let¡¯s go back to school.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not going! I¡¯m not going even if you kill me!¡±
Seeing her like this, An Zhixin shook her head helplessly, and she dragged her luggage and turned to leave.
¡°Zhixin¡¡±
Wang Shiyu¡¯s pitiful voice came from behind her.
Hearing the footsteps of Wang Shiyu following behind her, An Zhixin quickly stopped and waited for Wang Shiyu.
Seeing her strenuously carrying the duffel bag, An Zhixin said to her, ¡°Hand me the bag.¡±
Then, An Zhixin put the duffel bag on her luggage bag.
¡°Zhixin, you are so nice.¡± Wang Shiyu felt moved as she hugged her arm. However, she didn¡¯t help to pull it, only letting An Zhixin pull the heavy luggage herself.
¡°Zhixin, then what will you do in the future? Are you¡ really going to give up Young Master Jie?¡±
An Zhixin smiled faintly. ¡°I didn¡¯t say that I gave up on him! Although¡ he already has someone he likes, I still can¡¯t give up. I will try harder to make him fall for me!¡±
Wang Shiyu patted her shoulder and gave encouragement, ¡°That¡¯s the spirit! That Mu Xiaoxiao is at most one of Young Master Jie¡¯s girlfriends. What¡¯s so great about her! Zhixin, I have confidence in you! Go get ¡¯em!¡±
¡
Meanwhile at the top floor of the condominium.
Because of the incident in the middle ofst night, Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie slept veryte, so the two didn¡¯t wake up until veryte today.
Fortunately, it was a weekend, so there was no need to worry about ss.
When Yin Shaojie woke up and opened his eyes, he was still not used the feeling of not hugging anything, but there was a delicate little face in front of him that looked lovely as she slept, putting a smile on his face.
He reached out his hand and touched Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s forehead.
The temperature was normal, and there was no cold sweat. She seemed like she was sleeping well.
Yin Shaojie was relieved.
He rolled over and got down from the bed. Just when he was about to walk out of the bedroom, he paused, staring at the door to the changing room, which was open.
On the floor of the changing room was the pajama pants and panties that Mu Xiaoxiao had changed out ofst night.
Yin Shaojie knitted his brows, cast a nce at the person on the bed, and walked into the changing room¡
In the washroom.
Yin Shaojie ced the pajama pants and the panties separately.
The panties was ced in the sink. He opened the faucet, filled the sink with water, and poured some detergent into the water.
However, he hesitated as he didn¡¯t know how to go about it.
The bedsheets and clothes could be taken to theundry service outside, but such intimate, personal items like her panties should definitely not be washed by other people. It didn¡¯t seem like a good idea even if it was done by a machine.
Chapter 504 - What Are You Doing?
Chapter 504: What Are You Doing?
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
As Yin Shaojie recalled the look Mu Xiaoxiao had from the painst night, he wondered if she might be the same today.
He never knew that the thing that came every month for girls could be so dreadful.
Staring at the panties in the sink, Yin Shaojie took a deep breath and finally braced himself to do it.
He tried not to think that the thing in his hands was Xiaoxiao¡¯s panties, the clothing that was worn right next to her most private part¡
But the more he tried not thinking about it, the more he couldn¡¯t help but picture her in this pair of panties.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s face became unnaturally red.
His hand movements elerated as he quickly washed them.
Just as he was almost done, a soft voice mumbled from behind him, ¡°Jie, what are you doing?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had also woken up. Rubbing her bleary eyes, Mu Xiaoxiao looked puzzled as she stared at him from behind.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s broad back instantly froze, and cold sweat came out of his forehead.
Did he actually fail to hear her footsteps approaching?
Yin Shaojieughed bitterly inside.
Just how focused was he in imagining that picture of her?
He had been so engrossed that he hadn¡¯t even noticed the situation behind him.
This was something that hardly ever happened to Yin Shaojie, who had undergone intense training since childhood.
Mu Xiaoxiao walked into the bathroom. Then, she saw the thing that he was holding his hands.
Isn¡¯t this¡ my¡ panties?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened as she suspected if she might be in a dream.
Her little face slowly grew red as she muttered, ¡°What are you¡¡±
Yin Shaojie curled his sexy lips and pretended to beposed as he cast a nce at her and said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you d that I¡¯m washing it for you?¡±
Hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face became even redder.
¡°Who asked you to wash it for me!¡± She stamped her feet bashfully and quickly walked to him.
But Yin Shaojie dodged her hand and held the panties up high.
¡°Give it to me!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao tiptoed and desperately tried to get it, but she was too short. If Yin Shaojie wouldn¡¯t give it to her, she had no chance of taking it back herself.
Yin Shaojie smirked and said, ¡°I¡¯m almost done. Why are you disturbing me?¡±
As he was saying that, he spread his arms open with the panties in his hand.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face instantly glowed red.
How, how could he do this!
¡°You¡¯re perverted! Pervert! My pan¡ Hurry up and give it back to me!¡± Ignoring her weak condition, Mu Xiaoxiao jumped to snatch it.
Yin Shaojie evenmented on the panties in his hand, saying, ¡°This style is pretty cute, but I still like ckce ones. Oh yeah, didn¡¯t you promise me that you would let me see you wearing clothing that I picked for you? Mu Xiaoxiao, don¡¯t get fat from eating your words.¡±
¡°Yin Shaojie!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t stand it as she yelled at him.
How could she stand having her intimate, personal underwear being yed in his hands?
Yin Shaojie took the chance and said, ¡°Then, will you still honor your promise fromst time?¡±
¡°Okay, okay, okay! Whatever you say! First, give me back the thing!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t even pay attention to what he had just said as she was only focused on the thing in his hand.
Yin Shaojie was satisfied after getting the answer that he wanted.
He only needed her to make the promise. Even if she were to go back on her word, he would have a way to make her fulfill her promise.
Yin Shaojie smiled sinisterly with his eyes as he ran through his thoughts.

He held out the panties in front of her.
With a red face, Mu Xiaoxiao snatched it back and drove him out. ¡°Go out!¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face suddenly came close to her, almost right in her face, and he said, ¡°Since I helped you to wash your underwear, you will be helping to wash mine next time, right?¡±
¡°No!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao immediately refused as she blushed up to her ears.
¡°Hey, this is called returning a courtesy. You can¡¯t refuse,¡± Yin Shaojie said to her with a serious face.
Actually, he suddenly had the urge to see how she would look like washing his underwear.
Mm~~ That would be an interesting sight!
¡°No. No. No, no, no¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao said repeatedly as she pushed him outside.
¡°Remember, you have to wash it for me next time,¡± Yin Shaojie said.
¡°I said no!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pushed him out and mmed the door close.
¡
At night, at the luxurious clubhouse.
Because Mu Xiaoxiao needed to find Annie, she invited Song Shijun and a few others to eat and talk about the matter in detail.
The moment Song Shijun sat down, he didn¡¯t stand on ceremony.
He picked up the menu and ordered multiple dishes in one shot.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t have any objections at first, but when he heard Song Shijun order a spicy dish, he frowned and said to the waiter, ¡°We don¡¯t want the spicy shrimp!¡±
Song Shijun looked at him puzzled. ¡°Why not? Spicy shrimps are delicious! And Xiaoxiao likes to eat them too!¡±
Yin Shaojie shot him a stern re. ¡°My stomach doesn¡¯t feel well today, so I don¡¯t want to eat spicy dishes. Is that fine with you?¡±
Song Shijun was speechless.
Bro, you don¡¯t want to eat them, we want to eat them!
Grim-faced, he quickly asked Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Xiaoxiao, you like to eat spicy shrimps too, right? Shall we order this?¡±
He knew that as long as Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, Yin Shaojie wouldn¡¯t refuse her.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao obviously knew that Yin Shaojie did it for her, so she smiled and said, ¡°Nah, I don¡¯t feel like eating shrimp today.¡±
Song Shijun looked dispirited. ¡°Okay then¡¡±
Yin Shaojie stared at Song Shijun to make sure he would hear him, and he said, ¡°Remember, don¡¯t order spicy food!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s delicate face had an unnatural blush as she bumped Yin Shaojie hand beneath the table, telling him not to act too conspicuously.
Was he trying to let everyone know that Aunt Flo came to visit her?
But being a guy, Song Shijun didn¡¯t notice anything wrong.
Besides, he was already used to Great Master Yin¡¯s usual tyrannical ways.
But it was a different case with Han Qiqing. As a girl, of course she was more experienced in this area. Upon seeing the look on Mu Xiaoxiao, she immediately understood.
She nced at Song Shijun and said, ¡°For soup, let¡¯s just order the ck-boned chicken soup.¡±
Song Shijun gave a disgusted look. ¡°Why do we want to drink this kind of soup?¡±
Han Qiqing red at him. ¡°I feel like drinking it. Can¡¯t I?¡±
Song Shijun nodded quickly. ¡°Sure, sure, sure. Of course you can have it.¡±
After ordering the dishes, it was time to talk business.
Song Shijun said eagerly to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Did you bring the photo for the girl you are looking for?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°I brought it. I¡¯ll send it to your phone.¡±
She had made a call to her butler in the States to help her find the photo from herputer.
After Song Shijun received the photo and saw the picture of Annie, Song Shijun said in amazement, ¡°Wow¡ªso cute!¡±
The person on the photo was as cute as a doll. She had a pair of bright eyes that looked as innocent as an angel¡¯s.

Chapter 506: Do You Like Annie?
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Song Shijun totally looked like he was enthralled, his eyes not even blinking.
Seriously, the girl in the photo was just too delicate and pretty!
Her skin was white like snow and soft like a baby¡¯s skin. Her face was small and exquisite as if it was crafted perfectly by the heavens.
Song Shijun totally couldn¡¯te up with the words to describe her.
Watching the look of him, Han Qiqing seemed to think otherwise. ¡°Is she really that pretty?¡±
She poked her head over to take a look. And indeed, she was surprised.
Even as a girl, she felt that the girl in the photo was too cute and pretty.
Han Qiqing looked up at Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that her name was Annie? I thought that was a Western girl¡¯s name. Why is it that she looks¡ a bit Chinese?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, ¡°Because their family has Chinese bloodlines. It¡¯s quite a coincidence that Annie seems to have inherited a lot from their Chinese bloodlines, which is just the opposite of her brother.¡±
At first nce, Annie didn¡¯t look mixed-race, but upon closer scrutiny, one could then see the dark blue color of her pupils. Under the sunlight, it would appear as a particrly beautiful shade of blue.
But in the typical setting, it would look ck.
Plus Annie¡¯s hair color was dark brown, so it gave people the impression that she was an oriental girl.
Upon hearing what Mu Xiaoxiao said, Song Shijun asked eagerly, ¡°Is she mixed-race? Is she Chinese-American?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, then she said, ¡°I remember William saying that their family has bloodlines from many different countries¡ In any case, it¡¯s probably more than four races. I don¡¯t remember it very well now.¡±
¡°Xiaoxiao!¡± Song Shijun called Mu Xiaoxiao in a very serious tone, his eyes glimmering as he looked at her.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him puzzled as she ate the dish in front of her.
Song Shijun stared at her and expressed his dissatisfaction, saying, ¡°That¡¯s not very sisterly of you! Knowing such a beautiful girl, how could you not introduce her to me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or to cry. ¡°So do you like Annie?¡±
Song Shijun nodded and said with a look of fascination, ¡°She ispletely my type! It seems like she has a pretty good figure too¡¡±
¡°Pervert!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao threw a wet towel and red at him derisively through the corner of her eyes.
Song Shijun touched his nose, then he chuckled and said, ¡°Just kidding, but she is really my type. Didn¡¯t you say that she¡¯s also in China? Can you introduce her to me?¡±
Tut. Mu Xiaoxiao scoffed at him.
How could she not have guessed?
Boys are all the same!
Ogling at her face and her figure.
Just kidding? He meant exactly what he said.
Han Qiqing snorted and said, ¡°She only came to China for vacation. She will probably go back in a few days. Are you going to chase her all the way to the States?¡±
Song Shijun spread open his hands and said, ¡°This isn¡¯t impossible!¡±
If it was true love, chasing her to the States wouldn¡¯t be difficult task.
Didn¡¯t Yin Shaojie also chase Xiaoxiao to the States and bring her back sessfully?
Han Qiqing stared at him again and said, ¡°Are you very good at English? If people speak English, how would youmunicate with them?¡±
¡°Who told you my English is bad?¡± Song Shijun retorted back.
Watching the two bickering, Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and exined, ¡°This isn¡¯t a problem. Annie knows Chinese.¡±
Song Shijun was pleasantly surprised. ¡°She knows Chinese! Could this be my fate?¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Han Qiqing rolled her eyes at him. ¡°So anyone who knows Chinese is fated to be your soulmate? Are you shameless?¡±
Holding her chin as she smiled and watched the two bickering, Mu Xiaoxiao teased Song Shijun, saying, ¡°Shijun, I thought you liked Qiqing. Am I wrong?¡±
Upon hearing that, Song Shijun, who was originally bickering with Han Qiqing, seemed as if someone stepped on his tail. ¡°How is that possible! Why would I like her?¡±
Han Qiqing was very displeased with his disgusted look. ¡°Aiyah, what¡¯s this look on your face? Do you hate me that much? Like I care, I don¡¯t even like you!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t like you either!¡± Song Shijun obviously had to retort and maintain his self-esteem as a man.
¡°I don¡¯t like you even more!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t like you the most!¡±
The two men began to bicker again. Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head, unsure whether tough or cry. She had the feeling that the two were verypatible, just like a pair of jokers.
Mu Xiaoxiao moved closer beside Yin Shaojie and nudged him with her elbow. And she whispered in his ear, ¡°Do you think it¡¯s possible for Shijun and Qiqing to be together?¡±
Although she knew that Qiqing liked Lu Yichen, one-sided love was a torment.
Moreover, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t tell how much Lu Yichen liked Qiqing.
Although Lu Yichen had now allowed Qiqing to get closer to him and the two seemed to have be friends, when Mu Xiaoxiao saw them together, there was an inexplicable feeling¡ that they weren¡¯tpatible with each other.
Perhaps it was because Lu Yichen had never seriously paid attention to Qiqing?
Girls were always very sensitive in this aspect. From observing the eyes and the attitudes of a boy, they could tell whether a boy liked a girl.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that Han Qiqing and Song Shijun were not bad a match. The two had known each other since young, and by now, they understood each other very well.
Hearing her question, Yin Shaojie smiled and said, ¡°That depends on them. We can¡¯t interfere.¡±
Matters of love weren¡¯t things that outsiders could interfere with.
Agreeing with him, Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, ¡°Let¡¯s have nature take its course then.¡±
In any case, no matter who Qiqing ended up with, it¡¯d be good as long as she was happy about it.
¡¡
After dinner, the group walked out of the luxurious clubhouse. Mu Xiaoxiao remembered something and asked Song Shijun, ¡°Where¡¯s Sijue? Wasn¡¯t he also invited to dinner? Why isn¡¯t he here?¡±
Cough¡ªthey only remembered it when dinner was over.
Song Shijun said, ¡°Oh, him. He had an appointment today. It¡¯s at a hotel nearby.¡±
Ye Sijue was different from them. He had been involved in his family¡¯s business early on, so he would usually have to meet with clients.
Han Qiqing said, ¡°Sijue seems to be very busy recently. I don¡¯t think he can find the time to help you in your search. Actually, you don¡¯t need him. You already have them. They are more than enough to find someone in City A.¡±
She pointed to Yin Shaojie and Song Shijun in front of her..
One is the young master of the Yin family of the Big Four Families. The other is the son of the mayor. No matter how big City A was, it¡¯d be no problem to find someone with the power of those two.
Song Shijun smiled and said, ¡°Exactly. It won¡¯t be too difficult to find someone, unless¡ someone is hiding her.
Mu Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment and was slightly worried, but still, she said, ¡°That¡¯s unlikely, right?¡±

Song Shijun shrugged his shoulders. ¡°This is hard to say. She is so cute. It won¡¯t be a surprise if someone kidnapped her.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him. ¡°Can¡¯t you say something nice?¡±
She reached out her hand and hit his arm.
Saying only ominous things was as good as asking for a beating!
Song Shijun dodged and hid behind Han Qiqing, saying, ¡°I was only just guessing. But it makes sense.¡±
However, Great Mistress Mu was unhappy and wanted to beat someone, so he had no choice but to take the beating.
They were standing at the door.
Soon, the clubhouse¡¯s valet drove their car to them.
Under the gloom of the night, the lights of myriad colors along the entertainment district were dazzling.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s legs suddenly became jelly, and she fell toward Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie grabbed her waist in time, held her in her arms, and let her lean on his chest.
¡°What¡¯s the matter? Are you not feeling well?¡± he whispered in her ear.
Mu Xiaoxiao blushed as she nodded. ¡°I¡¯m still feeling some¡ pain.¡±
She wouldn¡¯t dare to eat spicy dishes any more in the future. This was an experience that she could never forget as it had left her with some trauma.
Song Shijun looked at them together and joked, ¡°Hey, if you want to do that lovey-dovey stuff, go home and do it. Don¡¯t do it in front of us, okay? Consider the feelings of us lonely people, okay? Qiqing, don¡¯t you agree?¡±
As he was speaking, he reached out and wrapped his arm around Han Qiqing¡¯s shoulder, indicating that the two were a group standing in opposition to the couple, Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao.
Han Qiqing elbowed him. ¡°Who do you mean ¡®us?¡¯ You are the lonely one. I¡¯m not. Speak for yourself!¡±
Song Shijun was startled and said, ¡°Are you saying¡ that you and Lu Yichen are together now? That can¡¯t be, right? How could he fall for you!¡±
Han Qiqing looked totally peeved, and she yelled at him, ¡°What did you say? What do you mean that he won¡¯t fall for me? Why won¡¯t he fall for me? I dare you to say it again!¡±
She was so angry that she tried to strangle Song Shijun, but Song Shijun was too tall at 1.8 meters while she was only 1.6 meters, so it was hard for her to do it to Song Shijun sessfully.
Song Shijun brushed her hand away easily. ¡°Sigh, won¡¯t you stop dreaming about him? Really, Qiqing, you are notpatible with him.¡±
Hisst sentence was said in all seriousness.
¡°Who says we aren¡¯tpatible! Song Shijun, you are dead today!¡± He had touched a nerve.
Han Qiqing threw herself toward Song Shijun to hit him.
¡°My deardy, can¡¯t I tell the truth? Stop hitting me! If you hit me again, I won¡¯t send you home!¡±
Han Qiqing hade in his car and didn¡¯t call her family¡¯s chauffeur, so it was natural that he would be the one to send her home.
¡°Humph! Big deal, I can walk!¡±
Han Qiqing seemed to be really angry with him. She swung her bag at him multiple times and then turned around in a huff.
Before she left, she waved and said to Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°I will go first, goodbye!¡±
Then, Han Qiqing walked toward the road junction.
Song Shijun stared nkly as if he was still processing what had just happened. Was she really not going to take his car?
¡°Hey! Qiqing! I apologize, okay?¡±
As a friend, he was eager to help here to her senses, but he had made her angry instead.
Girls are really impervious to reason!
But no matter how he shouted, Han Qiqing didn¡¯t look back and continued walking away.

Seeing that, Mu Xiaoxiao immediately said to Song Shijun, ¡°Hurry up and chase her! Are you really gonna let her take the bus home? Song Shijun, do you feel no shame?¡±
Sigh! Song Shijun scratched his head in frustration. ¡°Okay, I got it! I¡¯ll go chase after her now and send her home. You guys can go back first, goodbye!¡±
Then, he quickly opened the door, sat in his car, and drove off to chase Han Qiqing.
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed a little worried as she looked at Yin Shaojie and asked, ¡°They won¡¯t quarrel, will they?¡±
Yin Shaojie shrugged shoulders. ¡°It¡¯s hard to say. But don¡¯t worry, we have all been friends for so many years, and quarreling is no big deal. They¡¯ll get over it soon.¡±
Didn¡¯t he and Xiaoxiao also quarrel often? It didn¡¯t affect their rtionship.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, and suddenly he carried her up by the waist.
¡°What are you doing?¡± She was shocked. Afraid that she would fall, she had no choice but to go along with him and hug his neck.
¡°Aren¡¯t you feeling unwell?¡± Yin Shaojie pointed his eyes at her abdomen.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face blushed. ¡°I¡¯m only feeling unwell. It¡¯s not that I can¡¯t walk.¡±
¡°If you move around, you¡¯ll probably feel worse, right?¡± Yin Shaojie said as he carried her to the sports car.
Amidst the sea of neon lights before him, there seemed to be a light shing.
Yin Shaojie squinted sensitively and swept his sharp gaze to a certain direction.
In the distance, the man, who was secretly taking photos in the dark, was shocked and quickly hid away, scared that he might be discovered.
However, Yin Shaojie felt that it was too difficult to keep track of the person when staring at all the LED lights.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao noticed that he had stopped moving, and she saw him frowning and staring into the distance.
Yin Shaojie shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±
Then, he put her on the seat and helped her buckle the seat belt.
¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded as she sat on the front passenger seat, her hand grabbing the seat belt.
Suddenly, she thought of something and eximed, ¡°Oh! I forgot to tell them!¡±
Yin Shaojie got to the other side of the car, sat in the driver¡¯s seat, buckled his seat belt, and asked her, ¡°Forgot to tell them what?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°I forgot to say that Annie has a Chinese name. Maybe she will use her Chinese name in China.¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t think it was surprising for Annie to have a Chinese name since she had Chinese bloodlines.
¡°What is her Chinese name?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to have recalled something. Then, she smiled and said, ¡°Originally, when she picked her name, she wanted to take my surname. However, when we first met, which was three years ago, her Chinese wasn¡¯t very good, so she couldn¡¯t pronounce the word ¡®Mu¡¯ and pronounced it as ¡®Mo¡¯ instead. Then, I helped her pick her name. Since I thought she looked very cute, I called her Little Mengmeng, so her Chinese name is Mo Xiaomeng!¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled. He couldn¡¯t help but imagine how Mu Xiaoxiao, who looked so cute and sweet herself, would praise the other girl for being cute.
That was quite a funny picture.
Two little cuties meeting each other and bing good friends.
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Mo Xiaomeng¡ You came up with that name? It¡¯s pretty cute, I can almost imagine what kind of person she is from her name.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nced at him and said deliberately, ¡°What? Are you also interested in Annie? Do you think she is really cute? Do you want me to introduce her to you too?¡±

Yin Shaojie¡¯s jet-ck eyes stared at her, amused. ¡°Are you being jealous again? I haven¡¯t even seen her photos yet. How would I know how she looks?¡±
¡°Then I will show you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao took out her phone, opened Annie¡¯s photo, and showed it to him.
Yin Shaojie was going to start the car, but suddenly his view was blocked by the phone. Then, he grudgingly looked at the phone screen in her hand.
The girl in the photo was indeed very pretty. She was the kind that looked innocent and the kind where you couldn¡¯t find faults.
He then understood why Song Shijun would just stare at her with such fascination earlier.
¡°What do you think? She¡¯s cute, right? You don¡¯t even know how many guys want to woo my Little Mengmeng in school. They could queue up several streets long,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said proudly.
¡°She is pretty cute, but I have seen people who are cuter than her,¡± Yin Shaojie said as he shifted her hand away and started the engine.
¡°Who is she?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes. This time, she was really jealous.
The sexy corner of his mouth lifted in a smile as he turned to look at her and said teasingly, ¡°She¡¯s right under my nose.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that he was referring to herself, and her heart thumped in joy.
¡°You¡¯re really¡¡±
Fine then. She would let him slide with this sweet talk.
Yin Shaojie dashingly grabbed the steering wheel with one hand, and the other hand reached over and touched her little face. ¡°Let¡¯s go home, my big cutie.¡±
¡°Big cutie my ass!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, but she was smiling very sweetly.
The cool sports car slowly started and drove off from the front of the luxury clubhouse.
But meanwhile.
Behind the sports car, a fine-looking girl carrying a small LV bag brushed past Mu Xiaoxiao.
The girl looked exactly like the one in the photo from Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s phone.
¡
Mo Xiaomeng held the strap of her bag in one hand and took out her phone in the other hand. Looking at the content on the screen, shepared it to the shop in front of her.
¡°Okay, this is the ce! Looks pretty high-end, and it is overflowing with good reviews on the Inte. It should have good service.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng smiled as she walked into the spa salon.
She was pretty exhausted after visiting an old town nearby, so she wanted to find a spa salon to get a massage. But she wasn¡¯t familiar with the ce, so she had to seek help from the Inte.
Fortunately, she could understand Chinese, so it was easy to find this spa salon.
However, what she didn¡¯t know was that a lot of information on the Inte couldn¡¯t be trusted, especially the ones that only had good reviews and no bad reviews.
Upon entering the salon, a receptionistdy came forward with a smile to greet Mo Xiaomeng.
¡°Hello Miss, are you here for beauty services? What kind of beauty service would you like? We have everything here.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng nodded and said, ¡°Well, let me see first.¡±
The receptionist took her to the front of the counter and introduced her to the beauty services avable.
¡°Miss, is this your first time here? You look very cute and a bit mixed-raced. Your ent sounds unusual. Are you from City A?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng replied unsuspectingly, ¡°No, I came for vacation.¡±
There was a slight change in the receptionist¡¯s eyes, but she still maintained a cordial smile as she said, ¡°Oh, then do you mind if I ask if you came with friends?¡±

Mo Xiaomeng replied, ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m here alone. I¡¯ll do this then.¡±
She was referring to the cheapest service with only massage.
Because she only needed a massage, and it was almost 9 o¡¯clock already, she didn¡¯t want to finish toote.
Although Mo Xiaomeng was staying at a five-star hotel just nearby, she knew that it wasn¡¯t safe outside at night, so she nned to return to the hotel after finishing with the spa.
As soon as the receptionistdy saw her choose the cheapest option, her expression changed again.
¡°Pleasee with me.¡±
After taking Mo Xiaomeng into the room, the receptionistdy went out and paged for the supervisor.
The supervisor was a woman in her thirties.
The receptionistdy said, ¡°Sister Mei, this wretch is pretty good, and she came alone from overseas. She don¡¯t seem toe from a rich family. She seems pretty poor since she chose our cheapest option.¡±
The supervisor nodded. ¡°Yeah, indeed she looks very pretty. She should be able to fetch a high price. Did I see her carrying an LV bag?¡±
The receptionistdy said with a look of contempt, ¡°What LV bag! I¡¯ve never seen this model. It must be fake!¡±
However, what she didn¡¯t know was that the LV bag Mo Xiaomeng was carrying was the next season¡¯s new model. It wasn¡¯t yet on the market and definitely wasn¡¯t avable for sale outside.
The supervisor analyzed the situation and didn¡¯t notice anything suspicious.
Besides, she was a rare, quality good. Moreover, she came alone from overseas like amb that was delivered right to their doorstep. How could they just let her go?
Such a pretty wretch could be worth a lot of money!
The supervisor instructed her, ¡°Send people inter and do it immediately. We have a client tonight who needs people. Once she has fainted, send her directly to the hotel.¡±
¡°Understood!¡± the receptionistdy replied. As she thought about the share that she could get, her smile could not be any brighter.
¡
In the booth at the bar.
This was the world of adults that was filled with a sinful atmosphere.
A group of bosses were sitting together, and almost every one of them had each an alluring woman in their arms. The only exception was Ye Sijue, who sat in the middle.
Manager Li kissed the beautiful woman in his arms and whispered to the person next to him, ¡°I heard that Young Master Ye keeps his distance with women. I thought it was just fake news. Do you think he could be gay?¡±
The man was smiled and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you send him someone to find out?¡±
¡°That can work!¡± the men beside concurred.
Then, someone opened the door and went to Manager Li¡¯s ear and said a few words.
Manager Li¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Really that pretty?¡±
The other party nodded and said with a fawning smile, ¡°Manager Li, this time, we guarantee that you will be pleasantly surprised by the goods!¡±
When the people next to them heard their conversation, they understood what it meant. They shouted to Manager Li, ¡°Old Li, that¡¯s not very generous of you. You always enjoy the goods yourself and don¡¯t share them with us.¡±
¡°Okay, okay, I¡¯ll share,¡± Manager Li replied albeit looking reluctant.
Then, someone suddenly said, ¡°Oh yeah, didn¡¯t you say you were going to send a girl for Young Master Ye to have a taste? Manager Li, why don¡¯t you part with your treasure this time and give it to Young Master Ye?¡±
¡°Well¡¡± Manager Li hesitated. ncing at Ye Sijue, who closed his eyes to rest, Manager Li nodded and agreed. ¡°Okay, okay.¡±

Though Ye Sijue had a high tolerance, he had drunk too much today. The bosses were ingratiating themselves to him and toasting to him incessantly, so he had no choice but to drink.
An alluring woman swayed her hips as she walked to Ye Sijue¡¯s side. ¡°Young Master Ye¡¡±
Her finger was just about to touch his chest.
Ye Sijue, who had his eyes closed for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes. The pair of eagle eyes shot a sharp gaze that was very intimidating.
¡°Don¡¯t touch me!¡±
The alluring woman felt strangely afraid as she retreated two steps and exined timidly, ¡°Young Master Ye, I wasn¡¯t going to do anything. I only wanted to ask you if I should help you go up and rest.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t need you,¡± Ye Sijue said coldly, the devilishly handsome face of his seemed even more sexy under the suggestive lightings.
Even with his cold attitude just now, the woman still became fascinated by his kingly presence.
¡°Young Master Ye¡¡±
If she could sleep with him once, even just once¡ she would be willing to die for it.
How does such a sexy man exist in our world?
What was even more unbelievable was that he was not a lecher!
This made every woman enthralled by Ye Sijue feel like taking a bite out of him.
As the others motioned him, Manager Li then said to his assistant, ¡°Young Master Ye is drunk. Send Young Master Ye up to rest.¡±
¡°Yes, Manager Li.¡±
Ye Sijue waved his hand and refused, ¡°No need, I¡¯m fine. Enjoy yourselves. I will be leaving first.¡±
¡°Young Master Ye, you really don¡¯t need anyone to help you up?¡±
Ye Sijue didn¡¯t reply again but only shook his head coldly.
Manager Li and the others stopped talking.
When Ye Sijue left, Manager Li instructed the person who hade in earlier, ¡°Send the person to the Young Master Ye¡¯s room.¡±
¡°Understood, Manager Li.¡±
Others immediatelyughed. ¡°How about a bet? Do you think that Young Master Ye will ept this ¡®gift¡¯?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll bet that he will!¡±
¡°Then I¡¯ll bet that he won¡¯t!¡±
¡
At the presidential suite at the top floor of the hotel.
Ye Sijue entered the suite. He was apparently very familiar with this ce, not even needing the lights as he walked straight to the French window.
Looking down from therge French window, it seemed as though everything in the city could be seen from there.
A splitting headache came suddenly that made Ye Sijue furrow his eyebrows.
He unbuttoned his shirt and took off his clothes before walking naked into the bathroom.
In the dark, he didn¡¯t notice that there was a lump on the bed.
When Ye Sijue entered the bathroom, the person on the bed rolled over and moaned.
After less than ten minutes.
Ye Sijue took a shower and only came out wrapped with only a bath towel.
He still dripped water from his chest as he walked over to the bar, opened the fridge, and poured himself a ss of red wine.
When he was downstairs, he had only been drinking all the white wines that the old codgers had brought.
He didn¡¯t like white wine, so he was now using red wine to dilute the taste of white wine in his mouth.
After a few drinks, he finally stopped.
Stepping over to the bed, his tall body fell directly into the soft bed.
However, he suddenly caught a whiff of a nice scent.
Ye Sijue was still thinking about where the smell came from when the thing bumped into his chest.
¡°Ungh¡¡± The little thing on his chest moaned suggestively.
Ye Sijue froze. His big hand felt something exquisitely smooth and soft, just like an egg that had just been peeled.
In the past, he would definitely have pushed away the woman from him.

What was strange today was that his first reaction wasn¡¯t to do that, but he moved closer to have a sniff as though he was curious how this youthful womanly scent could smell so nice.
It was a very pure and fresh scent that was very pleasant to smell.
Mo Xiaomeng was in a dazed state because she was drugged. She could only feel the unbearable heat in her.
She pulled on her cor as though trying to dissipate some of the heat.
Her soft mouth mumbled, ¡°It¡¯s so hot¡ Hey, who turned off the air conditioner¡¡±
Someone hurry up and turn on the air conditioner. It¡¯s so hot.
Just as she mentioned the heat, her body temperature began to climb again, and she seemed to feel even hotter.
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s movement became more exaggerated as she pulled on her cor as if she was itching to take her clothes off.
Then, her little hand touched Ye Sijue¡¯s chest.
Eh?
It feels cool!
Ye Sijue just took a shower, so his body was naturally cooler. It felt extremelyfortable beneath Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s hands.
Mo Xiaomeng leaned her whole body onto it.
¡°Oh, sofortable¡¡± ( Boxno vel. co m )
So cooling andfortable.
Because Ye Sijue wasn¡¯t wearing clothes and there was only a bath towel around his waist, he was half-naked as she was touching him.
Rubbing her hands up and down, it felt so good!
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s little hand brushed past a little pea-like thing on his chest. Seeming quite curious, she pinched it with her thumb and forefinger and kneaded it.
Ye Sijue gritted his teeth and gasped.
D*mmit!
Then, he came back to his sense.
Ye Sijue only then realized that he was actually in a daze!
He wondered if he had been bewitched. Otherwise, why didn¡¯t he feel the urge to push away the little thing at his chest.
The room was very dark, and although there was lighting in through the French window that made the room notpletely dark, he couldn¡¯t see anything.
Ye Sijue was just about to push away the little thing on him and get up to turn on the lights.
Just as he stretched out his hand, in the darkness, he just happened toe across something soft.
That soft sensation¡
Ye Sijue breathed heavily and narrowed his eyes.
He didn¡¯t need to guess. He knew that the thing he touched was the little thing¡¯s¡ chest.
She wasn¡¯t wearing underwear underneath!
Ye Sijue was just a moment too slow to push her away as Mo Xiaomeng grabbed his hand and pressed his hand on her chest.
¡°Feel it¡ It¡¯s so ufortable¡¡±
Mo Xiaomeng only felt that there was something screaming in her body that made her feel very unbearable.
When the hand that suddenly appeared touched her, it gave her a pleasurable feeling that couldn¡¯t be put into words.
So in the instant that she felt the hand retreating, she quickly grabbed it with both her hands and pressed it hard against herself.
Ye Sijue¡¯s palm could not hide as it directly touched the skin on her chest.
It¡¯s hot¡
He furrowed his brows. How could she be so hot!
Ye Sijue then understood. The little thing on him had been drugged.
¡°Let go for awhile,¡± he said in a low, husky voice.
¡°Don¡¯t¡ It¡¯s feels good like this¡¡± Mo Xiaomeng pouted and refused, but the soft tone of her voice seemed like she was being whiny.
Ye Sijue was surprised to find that he didn¡¯t feel a single bit disgusted!
What the hell was going on with him?
Was he drunk?
But Ye Sijue was aware that although he was indeed a little drunk, he wasn¡¯t so drunk that he wouldn¡¯t be able to discern things.
He had to at least figure out the identity of the little thing on him.

Ye Sijue turned a serious face, forcibly grabbing the hand of the little thing that was caressing his chest.
Despite not being able to see anything in the darkness, his sense of touch became more sensitive.
He could clearly feel how small and supple the hand that he was holding was, and it was as though it had no bones.
He could even grab both of her hands with his one hand.
Finally catching a break, Ye Sijue sat up and turned on the bedsidemps.
When the light was turned on, the little thing, who had already adjusted to the darkness, felt that the light was too ring and let out an unhappy groan.
The voice sounded aggrieved as she said, ¡°Turn off the lights. It¡¯s so ufortable¡¡±
When Ye Sijue looked down and saw the little thing before him, he couldn¡¯t help but be stunned.
What a fine-looking girl!
Given his status, he had seen countless beautiful women since he was a child, but this was the first time that he had seen such an absolutely beautiful, fine-looking girl. She looked just like a doll. Her facial features were wless.
¡°Who¡ are you?¡± he asked in his maic voice.
He put her hands on the top of her head so she couldn¡¯t move around again.
Mo Xiaomeng twisted her slender waist ufortably, and her eyes staring at him in daze as if she still wasn¡¯t sober.
¡°Uhh-huhh, what are you doing¡¡±
Hearing her soft voice, Ye Sijue only felt his heart going soft.
¡°Tell me! Who the hell are you? Who let you in?¡± he interrogated her, his deep gaze locked on her fine-looking face as if he would wanted to watch every single nuance in her expression to see through her act.
However, the little thing seemed to bepletely ignorant of what he was talking about, and she whimpered andined, ¡°It hurts¡ Let me go¡ uhh-huhh¡ I¡¯m so hot¡¡±
Why would he turn off the air conditioner?
Why did this persone out of nowhere and pin my hands on my head?
This posture is so ufortable.
Because of the drug, Mo Xiaomeng was totally not clear-headed. She was only acting on instinct.
Her instinct was that when she felt pain, she would resist, and when she felt hot, she would want to undress herself.
No matter how he asked, she would not answer. The little pink mouth kept muttering unclearly, and he was getting quite frustrated.
Of course, he didn¡¯t want to admit that the biggest reason for getting frustrated was¡
Ye Sijue seemed to be bewitched, and his gaze became uncontrobly riveted on her pink mouth.
That little mouth was parted slightly as if it was inviting him to have a taste of it.
Sh*t!
Ye Sijue cursed under his breath. He had originally wanted to reach for his phone only to remember that his clothes were on the ground.
With no other choice, he picked up the phone on the nightstand.
Fortunately, he had an excellent memory and sessfully dialed his assistant¡¯s number.
¡°Help me check¡¡±
After hearing what he said, the assistant was startled. ¡°A woman? Young Master Ye, do you mean to say¡ that there is a woman in your room? Then¡ do you want me to go up and help you deal with it?¡±
In the past, Ye Sijue would definitely have let hime up and take the woman away.
But this time, he hesitated for a moment. He could not help but look at the little thing beneath him.
Ye Sijue then realized that this little thing might as well not be wearing anything!
A thin ck muslin covered her graceful body. Her figure was inly visible, and the heart-stopping areas seemed faintly discernible¡
The snow white lumps on her chest became especially attractive and riveting as they were set in contrast against the ck muslin.

Presented with such a view, Ye Sijue cursed under his breath.
¡°Ye, Young Master Ye?¡± Even though he was on the other side of the phone, the assistant seemed to still be able to feel his terrifying presence, so the assistant lowered his voice instinctively, afraid of being implicated by Ye Sijue¡¯s anger.
Ye Sijue knitted his brows and said, ¡°You don¡¯t have toe up! Investigate the matter first and find out who sent her! Also, this woman¡¯s identity¡ Find it out!¡±
With that said, he turned his gaze toward the little thing again.
That doll-like, fine-looking, little face shaped like a goose egg was smaller than his one hand, and the skin was as tender as a baby¡¯s.
This woman was actually just a young girl.
Ye Sijue was even doubtful. Is this little girl even 14 years old? She¡¯s didn¡¯t just graduate from elementary school, right?
This doll-face looked tender from every angle.
But he also understood that if she was really so young, then the people behind the scenes wouldn¡¯t have sent her to him.
Unless¡ they were people who wanted to get him into trouble.
Ye Sijue¡¯s gaze uncontrobly scanned the little thing and again denied the idea that she was underage. ( Boxno vel. co m )
With this figure¡ how could she be an elementary school student!
She must be at least¡ 15 or 16 years old?
Ye Sijue urately determined Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s age.
He was seldom so frustrated, but every second of waiting now felt like torment. It was torment that he had never experienced before.
After a few minutes of putting down the phone, his assistant called back and reported the results of the investigation.
¡°It¡¯s Manager Li who sent someone to your room. He said that the woman is still a virgin. She¡¯s fresh goods from over from Seduction Spa. ording to my knowledge¡¡±
After listening to the report, Ye Sijue didn¡¯t look any less grave.
He said, ¡°I got it. That¡¯s all for now.¡±
His tone was slightly impatient.
The assistant was startled. ¡°Then, then uh, Young Master Ye¡ you really don¡¯t need me to go up there and deal with it?¡±
¡°No need,¡± he replied coldly and immediately hung up the phone.
At the other end of the phone, the assistant held onto his phone and stared nkly for a long while.
Young Master Ye can¡¯t be thinking of¡
Having her hands trapped for quite a while, the inability to move was making Mo Xiaomeng very ufortable. The heat that she was feeling added to her difort.
She desperately struggled, trying to break free of the thing that locked her hands.
Thus, Ye Sijue watched her, and his pretty blue eyes narrowed.
He had to admit that the person who sent her up had good taste. The little thing before him was indeed really pretty and pleasing to watch.
Her innocent and fine-looking absolute beauty of a face looked as pure as an angel¡¯s.
But many people would like to snap the angel¡¯s wings and pull the angel into the devil¡¯s purgatory because deep inside everyone¡¯s heart, there was evil.
Mo Xiaomeng felt that her mouth was very dry.
She licked her lips and mumbled, ¡°Water¡ I¡¯m thirsty¡ I want to drink water¡¡±
Just then, a finger touched her lips.
In a daze, Mo Xiaomeng thought that someone was giving her something yummy, so she bit it.
Ye Sijue narrowed his eyes and withdrew his hand in pain.
¡°I want¡ I want water.¡±.
The little thing¡¯s soft voice seemed coquettish but also seemed to beining pitifully. It softened the heart of anyone who heard it.
Ye Sijue¡¯s gaze deepened. He liked to listen to her voice for it was as pleasing as the sounds of nature.
¡°What do you want?¡± he whispered in his attractive voice.
He lowered his head and leaned closer to her.

At such a close distance, her skin was so tender that he couldn¡¯t see any pores.
Moreover, her bodily scent was like a seductive poison entering his nose, trying to tempt him.
His manly instinct led him to take a deep breath.
In an instant, the scent of her seemed to have engulfed him.
Ye Sijue narrowed his eyes. Given his status, it wasmon for him to be surrounded by beautiful women.
He wasn¡¯t obsessed over women and even felt ack of passion toward them, and out of all the countless women that he had seen, none could capture his attention, let alone stir his passions.
However, this little thing before him seemed to be able to do it so easily.
He was surprised himself. He actually liked the smell of her body, and he was actually reluctant to look away from her delicate face.
This was something that had never happened before.
If Song Shijun and others saw this, their jaws would probably drop in amazement.
For some inexplicable reason, Ye Sijue suddenly had a vile idea.
His fingers were well-defined and beautiful. They were the type that were very suitable for ying piano. He reached out his hand closer to her and touched her nose with his finger. Then suddenly, he pinched her nose.
¡°Uhngh¡¡± Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s instincts caused her to struggle under the feeling of suffocation.
Then, she clenched her small fist from the difort and threw her fist forward, hitting his chest.
However, what she hit was something as hard as a wall.
Mo Xiaomeng felt hurt and let out muffled sounds.
She was going to suffocate¡
Watching her cute movements, Ye Sijue couldn¡¯t help but look amused.
This little thing was really interesting.
He wondered if it was because she was too stupid that she was abducted and sold, not knowing what had even happened.
Ye Sijue didn¡¯t have the answer himself. Then, he grew a bit of pity for this little thing.
He released his hand, and she could finally breathe. She sobbed and grumbled, ¡°Uhh huhh¡ who are you? Why are you bullying me? Uhh uhh¡ You¡¯re all bullying me¡¡±
Ye Sijue lifted her chin.
Mo Xiaomeng was forced to tilt her head back, revealing her neck that was as fair and pretty as a white swan¡¯s.
Ye Sijue gazed at her attentively with a pair of deep blue eyes that captured her every expression.
This posture was making Mo Xiaomeng a little ufortable. She fidgeted with her neck at a loss, trying to break free from him.
The big and pretty eyes were misty as if tears could fall at any time.
Finally, she couldn¡¯t bear it, and the tears fell.
¡°¡¡± she cried and said something.
Ye Sijue lowered his head with the strong urge of doing something when he heard her voice, and suddenly his movement slowed. With furrowed brows, he looked up and locked his gaze on her little face. ¡°Whose name did you just call?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng continued sobbing, and her soft lips parted looking like she mumbled something.
Ye Sijue heard her much clearer this time.
She was indeed calling someone¡¯s name, and it was obvious that it was also a man¡¯s name!
He suddenly felt as if he was being sshed with cold water.
In an instant, all his passions subsided, and he regained hisposure.
Ye Sijue propped up his solid upper body, his eyes staring seriously at the little thing underneath him. Then, very quickly, he stood up and left her side..
Without the weight pressing on her, though Mo Xiaomeng felt morefortable, she then remembered the difort she felt earlier.
¡°Uhh-huhh¡ Don¡¯t go¡ I want to drink water¡¡±
She didn¡¯t know why but she just felt very thirsty.
She felt pitiful. Why won¡¯t this person give me water to drink?

It was only a thin piece of fabric. How could it withstand her rough movements?
The soft white lumps on her chest were almost fully revealed¡
Ye Sijue took a deep breath and got down of bed. Suddenly, he reached out and carried her off the bed.
¡°¡ What are you doing? Un-uhh, let me go¡¡±
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s body was weakened, and her struggle almost had about the same strength like a mosquito.
¡°Shut up!¡± Ye Sijue said coldly.
Mo Xiaomeng pouted as she was carried into the bathroom and ced in the bathtub.
The next second, a stream of water sprinkled from the above her head.
Mo Xiaomeng had been feeling hot all over her body when she was suddenly sshed with cold water, and she couldn¡¯t help but tremble from the chill.
¡°It¡¯s so cold! It¡¯s so cold!¡±
Ye Sijue pinched her chin and forced her to tilt her head back, ruthlessly sprinkling the cold water on her little face to wake her up.
Fortunately, those people didn¡¯t give her too strong a drug, perhaps on ount of her young age.
Otherwise¡
Ye Sijue¡¯s expression turned grave.
¡°Wake up. Have you woken up?¡± Keeping a stern face, Ye Sijue patted her cheek.
Her face had already been tender and white, and because of the chilly water, it became even whiter.
¡°It¡¯s cold¡ So cold¡¡± Mo Xiaomeng hugged herself with her hands and shivered vigorously.
However, the heat in her body seemed to be slowly extinguished.
Ye Sijue drenched her for another minute before turning off the water.
He wrung his eyebrows and watched the little thing sitting in the bathtub in a daze.
The bathtub was full with water, and her graceful body was sitting inside. The light muslin fabric floated on the surface of the water, making the beautiful scenery beneath it faintly indiscernible, leaving room for one¡¯s imagination.
Mo Xiaomeng hugged her knees and seemed aggrieved as she buried her head in her knees.
After a while, she looked up at Ye Sijue, her eyes looking much more sober.
Mo Xiaomeng was apparently awake.
Startled, her eyes widened, and she gasped. She stared at Ye Sijue and shouted, ¡°Who are you? Why are you in my room?!¡±
She was about to stand up and drive him out.
Suddenly, she looked down and realized that the clothes she was wearing was so¡ translucent!
Goodness gracious! What the heck am I wearing?
Mo Xiaomeng was shocked and sat back into the water.
But the water was transparent and didn¡¯t provide much cover.
She blushed and yelled at Ye Sijue, ¡°You¡¯re a pervert! Get out! Go out now!¡±
Seeing that she was sober, Ye Sijue turned around and left the bathroom.
Mo Xiaomeng heaved a breath of relief.
Looking around, the fine-looking little face seemed totally confused as though she didn¡¯t know where she was.
This¡ is not my room!
In other words, the man earlier didn¡¯t break into my room.
Instead, I broke into someone¡¯s room?!
Mo Xiaomeng wasn¡¯t an idiot, and she quickly straightened out her thoughts.
But she couldn¡¯t believe it. She grasped her head, hoping that it was actually a dream and that she could quickly wake up from it!
¡°You are dreaming. You are dreaming. You must be dreaming¡¡±
She closed her eyes and silently recited this sentence as if this would turn all that was happening into a dream.
Mo Xiaomeng couldn¡¯t help but think of the man¡¯s face.
She had to admit. He¡¯s so handsome¡
Mo Xiaomeng touched her face, and it was a bit feverish but cold at the sides. Perhaps it was because she was soaking in cold water.
Right, I must be dreaming!

Otherwise, how could such a handsome guy appear before her in such a suggestive setting?
However, Mo Xiaomeng sat in the bathtub and was lost in her thought for a long while.
But, she still couldn¡¯t wake up from her dream because she wasn¡¯t even dreaming in the first ce.
Knock, knock!
Suddenly, there was the sound of knocking of the door.
Mo Xiaomeng was startled. She lifted her head from her knees, looked up, and just happened to meet Ye Sijue¡¯s deep gaze.
His eyes shined blue under the lights.
Eh¡ he has blue pupils?
Could he also be mixed-raced?
Perhaps it was because he was also mixed-race that Mo Xiaomeng lost the animosity toward him and even started to feel closer to him.
( Boxno vel. co m ) Ye Sijue stared at her, his eyebrows lightly knitted, and his voice was low and a little stern as he said to her, ¡°Are you sure you want to keep soaking in the bathtub?¡±
Didn¡¯t this little thing notice that her lips had turned white?
He didn¡¯t want to be nosy at first.
But after waiting outside for about ten minutes and not hearing any movement from inside, he wondered if she might still be sitting in the cold water the whole time.
But, no one would be that stupid, right?
The bathtub was filled with cold water. Even if the room had air conditioning and the weather was cold, wasn¡¯t she afraid of getting sick from staying in the cold water for so long?
Of course, whether she would get sick or not had nothing to do with him!
Thus, Ye Sijue hadn¡¯t intended on going in.
However¡ he waited for another five minutes, and there was still no movement from inside.
Ye Sijue felt restless. He couldn¡¯t just let someone die in his room, could he?.
Then, he finally went in. Little did he expect that upon opening the door to look, this little thing was really stupid enough to be still sitting in the cold water!
Doesn¡¯t she feel cold?
Stupid!
Hearing the harsh tone of his voice, Mo Xiaomeng came back to her senses.
She whimpered and sniffed.
¡°Uwwh¡ So it¡¯s not a dream¡ ¡± Why wasn¡¯t it a dream!
She finally confirmed her reality.
Ye Sijue had excellent hearing, so he clearly heard the words she said, and the corner of his mouth lightly tugged upwards.
Mo Xiaomeng wanted to stand up, but she found that her hands and feet couldn¡¯t move as she intended.
She made a grimace again.
Was she out of it? How did she end up sitting in the cold water the whole time!
No wonder he sounded so scornful just now.
Mo Xiaomeng felt so stupid. How could she have sat in cold water the whole time? Did she lose her brain earlier?
¡°Uhhh¡ I can¡¯t get up¡¡±
She had tears in her eyes as she looked at him pitifully. The beautiful yet fragile-looking eyes seemed to be calling for help.
Ye Sijue folded his arms at her chest as he stared at her and asked, ¡°Do you want me to help you?¡±
What else? Mo Xiaomeng stared at him.
Seeing that he wasn¡¯t moving, Mo Xiaomeng cursed him in her heart for how cold-blooded he was.
She deliberately said, ¡°If you¡¯re not going to help, then let me die here¡¡±
From the looks of it, she thought that they should be at a hotel, so she didn¡¯t believe that he would really just let her die here.
¡°Ah-choo!¡± she sneezed.
Ye Sijue furrowed his brows. Finally, he started to move as he walked towards her.
¡°Wait a second!¡± He was just going to reach out his hands when Mo Xiaomeng stopped him. She gestured with a nce at the bathrobe on the wall, and she looked awkward as she said, ¡°Can you¡ take that so that I can cover myself?¡±
The muslin clothing she was wearing was almost as good as not wearing anything.

But Ye Sijue didn¡¯t turn to get the bathrobe.
Mo Xiaomeng pouted unhappily, cursing him for being a pervert. He must have wanted to see her body, so he refused to take the bathrobe to cover her up.
However, when Ye Sijue went to her, he didn¡¯t carry her up immediately; he bent down and pressed a button at the corner of the bathtub.
Mo Xiaomeng batted her eyes and looked at him, perplexed.
Ye Sijue met her eyes and said only one word, ¡°Stupid.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng pouted. ¡°What¡¯s that for¡¡±
Just about she was about to retort at him, her cold body started to feel a gush of warmth.
Huh? Mo Xiaomeng stared nkly for a moment.
Then, she quickly realized that the water in the bathtub had changed temperature.
Feeling a current flowing below, she came to a realization.
So¡
She stared nkly at him. He pressed the button just now to fill the bathtub with hot water!
Mo Xiaomeng really had to admit that he had made the right choice.
Her body was feeling cold, and the quickest way to warm her up was to let her soak in warm water for a while.
In less than a few minutes, the water in the bathtub became warm.
However, the temperature seemed to still be rising.
Mo Xiaomeng quickly said, ¡°Okay, okay, it¡¯s too hot!¡±
Ye Sijue still remained expressionless. He didn¡¯t move or press any buttons..
Mo Xiaomeng was irritated and shouted at him, ¡°Hey! Are you trying to cook me? I don¡¯t taste good!¡±
Hearing that, Ye Sijue, who was keeping a cold expression, suddenly let out a faint smile.
Don¡¯t taste good?
He thought about how he wanted to kiss her earlier¡ She seemed so soft, sweet, and absolutely delicious. How could she not taste good?
He finally said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t cook you. You were too cold just now, so you may feel that the temperature is too hot, but you¡¯ll get used to it slowly.¡±
¡°Really?¡± Mo Xiaomeng still had some doubts.
Ye Sijue didn¡¯t reply to her. He turned around, took the bathrobe from the shelf, and ced it on the handrail next to the bathtub.
Mo Xiaomeng watched him.
Ye Sijue only shot her a nce before walking out without saying a word.
Watching him leave, Mo Xiaomeng was in a daze as if she was still processing in her mind the things that had happened.
He¡¯s, he¡¯s just leaving like this?
She was just thinking that he was a pervert who wanted to peek at her body. Now that he had ignored her like that, Mo Xiaomeng felt like she had just taken a p to the face.
Could he actually be a proper gentleman?
Mo Xiaomeng sat in the bathtub, her head tilted to the side as she recalled what had happened.
When she had woken up, he didn¡¯t seem to have done anything lecherous to her.
As for the things that happened before she had woken up¡ she had totally no memory of it.
However, if he really wanted to assault her, he wouldn¡¯t have needed to wake her up with cold water.
Mo Xiaomeng finally reached a conclusion: He was a proper gentleman!
However, it was onlyter that Mo Xiaomeng realized that she was wrong!
What proper gentleman? This guy is an animal! An animal!
¡
In the bathroom, Mo Xiaomeng, who was wrapped in a bathrobe, poked out her little head from inside and carefully surveyed the surroundings. When she found that there was no one in sight, she then quietly tiptoed out.
Just as she walked out, she saw Ye Sijueying on the bed, looking at something on his phone.
¡°Hey,¡± Mo Xiaomeng called to him, bashfully holding tightly on the cor of the bathrobe, but Ye Sijue didn¡¯t respond or even look up.
Mo Xiaomeng pouted. Then, she increased her volume as she shouted at him, ¡°Hey!¡±
Ye Sijue then shifted up his gaze slightly and stared at her.
*****
A little exnation: The difference between Ye Sijue and Young Master Jie is that most of the time, Ye Sijue has a cold and detached attitude towards other people, and his mischievous side is only shown to people who are closer to him.

He didn¡¯t even ask her what was up but only said to her, ¡°You can go now.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng was stunned as she stared nkly.
¡°You, you¡¯re letting me go?¡±
How could she go out wearing this!
Ye Sijue stared at her and said, ¡°You don¡¯t want to go? Do you still want to stay here?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng didn¡¯t understood why, but she thought his eyes were so¡ devilishly charming, that her heartbeat started to race when he stared at her.
¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to go¡¡± Mo Xiaomeng said slightly angrily. ¡°How do you expect me to go! How can I go out dressed like this?¡±
¡°This is your problem, not my problem,¡± Ye Sijue said indifferently as if it didn¡¯t concern him.
( Boxno vel. co m ) Mo Xiaomeng was usually pampered dearly by her family. Even the boys around her would treat her like a princess, giving her all kinds of nice treatment.
So, the aloof attitude that Ye Sijue was giving her made her feel a little ufortable.
Mo Xiaomeng took two steps forward, stared at him, and asked, ¡°Then, at least tell me. Why am I here? Are you staying in this ce? Why would I be in this ce you¡¯re staying at? And¡ what just¡ happened to me earlier?¡±
In this moment, she noticed the kingly presence of the man before her that she couldn¡¯t ignore.
His long figure as he satying on the bed looked so graceful and ssy as though he was a medieval prince.
Mo Xiaomeng had been seen enough big shots ever she since was young, so from a single nce, she could tell that the man in front of her was no ordinary person!
She could even be sure that he must have a super high social status.
Ye Sijue replied concisely, ¡°You were drugged.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng was shocked. ¡°Me? Why was I drugged? Oh yeah, who are you? Can you tell me who you are?¡±
She didn¡¯t know why, but she suddenly wanted to know his name.
¡°You don¡¯t need to know.¡± Ye Sijue still gave the same cold reply.
Mo Xiaomeng took two steps forward again, closing the distance between the two, and she asked uprehendingly, ¡°Why? I want to know! Can you tell me? At least let me know¡ who saved me.¡±
¡°Save?¡± Ye Sijue recalled how their bodies were intertwined earlier.
He almost devoured her. If she knew that, would she still be saying this?
Mo Xiaomeng patted her head as if she had finally remembered something, and her eyes widened. ¡°I remember now! I was clearly in a spa salon¡ How did I end up here?¡±
¡°You were sold,¡± Ye Sijue reminded her in a moment of rare kindness.
¡°¡ Sold?!¡± Mo Xiaomeng gasped as she sped at her chest. Her mouth trembled as she said, ¡°Then¡ Then was I¡ was I¡ you-know-what!¡±
He said indifferently, ¡°No.¡± But, almost.
Ye Sijue knitted his brows as he recalled how she was brought here.
She should have originally been sent to Manager Li¡¯s room.
If it wasn¡¯t for Manager Li¡¯sst minute change of mind, they would have sent her to him. Then by now, she should have been¡
As he considered the possibility, Ye Sijue¡¯s brow furrowed together, and his expression turned cold and threatening.
Looking at the fine-looking little girl, her eyes were clear and pure as though she hadn¡¯t seen the evils of the world, looking as if everything was only sunshine and rainbows.
Fortunately, those things didn¡¯t happen.
Upon hearing his answer, Mo Xiaomeng let out breath of relief and patted herself on the chest to calm her nerves.

However, she also felt that there wasn¡¯t much that had changed with her body.
At least from hearing her friends¡¯ experiences, their first time would hurt!
She only felt exhausted and didn¡¯t seem to be feeling any pain.
So she shouldn¡¯t have you-know-what, right?
Lucky¡
Mo Xiaomeng was feeling scared after the event.
Although she didn¡¯t know how Ye Sijue had saved her, she was very grateful that he had at least woken her up.
So, Mo Xiaomeng said to him, ¡°Although I don¡¯t know what your name is¡¡±
( Boxno vel. co m ) ¡°Ye Sijue,¡± he said suddenly in his low voice.
Mo Xiaomeng was stunned for a moment as she thought she had heard wrong. ¡°What¡¯s¡ your name?¡±
Didn¡¯t he refuse to tell her earlier?
Why the sudden change of mind?
Ye Sijue frowned, looking a little regretful.
He didn¡¯t know why, but when he saw her looking lost, he blurted his name in a moment of impulse.
But since he had already said it, and he wasn¡¯t petty person, he said again, ¡°My name is Ye Sijue.¡±
¡°Ye¡ Si¡ Jue.¡± Mo Xiaomeng said his name word by word as if she was admiring it. A smile appeared on her face after knowing his name.
Ye Sijue stared at her, ¡°What about you?¡±
¡°My name is¡¡± Mo Xiaomeng paused for a while. Just as she was about to say ¡®Annie,¡¯ she swallowed it back and said, ¡°My name is Mo Xiaomeng.¡±
¡°Mo Xiaomeng,¡± Ye Sijue said, sounding amused as if her name was very interesting.
He had to admit that this name was quite suitable for her.
Hearing him say her name in his low, sexy voice, she felt it was oddly pleasant to hear.
Suddenly, she felt her head spinning, and she staggered a little.
With his sharp eye, Ye Sijue immediately noticed that her body was swaying.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± he asked, sounding unwittingly concerned.
Mo Xiaomeng suddenly squatted down and held her forehead with her palm. Then she said weakly, ¡°I¡¯m not feeling very well¡¡±
The moment she finished saying, she coughed and then retched.
With a long stride, Ye Sijue came down from the bed and quickly walked to her side.
Then, he realized that she had cold sweat on her forehead. After soaking in warm water, the rosy color that was restored on her lips had gone pale again.
¡°I think I¡¯m¡ Sick.¡±
Before she could finish speaking, Mo Xiaomeng fell toward the side.
Ye Sijue extended his arms and caught her in time into his embrace.
The warm big hand touched her cheek and patted it. ¡°Hey, what¡¯s the matter?¡±
However, the skin that he felt beneath his palm was slightly hot.
Ye Sijue furrowed his brows. He ced his palm on her forehead and checked her temperature.
D*mmit!
She has a fever!
He quickly carried her up horizontally, put her on the bed, and covered her with a nket.
Grim-faced, Mo Xiaomeng opened her eyes slightly and sped at her chest. Looking at Ye Sijue, she said, ¡°I feel so ufortable¡¡±
¡°Bear with it for awhile. I¡¯ll get the doctor.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng whimpered just like a small injured pet.
She had rarely been sick. Even if she had been sick, she had never felt this ufortable. It was as if there was both a hot and a cold current intertwining throughout her body.
Ye Sijue picked up his phone from the side and kept a cold expression as he dialed his assistant¡¯s phone number.

Just when the phone was connected, without even letting his assistant speak, he immediately ordered, ¡°Call a doctor up here!¡±
The assistant was startled, ¡°Ah? Young Master Ye, are you injured?¡±
Ye Sijue didn¡¯t want to exin and said coldly, ¡°I told you to call him, so hurry up and call him! Immediately. Right now! Tell him toe at the fastest speed!¡±
¡°Uh, oh, oh! Understood!¡± the assistant quickly replied.
Ye Sijue hung up the phone.
In less than five minutes, the assistant came up with a doctor.
Ye Sijue went to open the door.
As soon as the assistant entered the door, he anxiously looked up and down at Ye Sijue and asked, ¡°Young Master Ye, is there a problem with the woman? Did she attack you? Where are you injured?¡±
The doctor stood by the side deferentially. Apparently, he knew of Ye Sijue status, so he acted carefully in front of him.
Ye Sijue could not be bothered with the assistant, and he said to the doctor, ¡°Come here.¡±
( Boxno vel. co m ) The assistant also followed him. When he saw the person on the bed, he was so shocked that his eyes were about to fall out.
Oh my God!
What kind of situation is this?!
Then, he saw that the girl was only wearing a bathrobe¡ he gasped again.
Oh my God!
Has¡ Young Master Ye¡ broken his fast? !
¡
The next day.
Because of Aunt Flo, Mu Xiaoxiao had been feeling quitezy the past two days and had woken upter in the day.
After waking up and having breakfast, Mu Xiaoxiao nned to go with Yin Shaojie to find Annie¡¯s whereabouts.
It was also the weekend, and she didn¡¯t want to be alone at home.
However, Yin Shaojie picked up a call and had a serious look on his face. After hanging up the phone, he told her to stay at home and not go anywhere. He had something important to he had to go out and deal with, but he would also ask someone to investigate Annie¡¯s whereabouts. And once there was any news, she would be notified immediately.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted unhappily. She wondered what exactly could be so important?
However, Yin Shaojie left very quickly and didn¡¯t even leave her a chance to ask him.
This made Mu Xiaoxiao even more unhappy.
Once he left, Mu Xiaoxiao then called Han Qiqing.
¡°Don¡¯t you think he is too much? He didn¡¯t even tell me what he was going out to do and just left in a hurry. We already said yesterday that we were going to find Annie today! He¡¯s not keeping his word!¡±
Han Qiqing smiled and said, ¡°This is normal. Don¡¯t be so paranoid.¡±
¡°What? You call this normal? He didn¡¯t tell me anything as if he had something to hide from me. You call this normal? This is absolutely not normal!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao grew more agitated as she talked. She was also feeling more and more suspicious about just what urgent matter Yin Shaojie had to attend to.
Han Qiqing was unsure whether tough or cry. ¡°Don¡¯t get so agitated¡ Why is it that you are acting so¡ moody today? Oh yeah, Aunt Flo visited, right? No wonder.¡±
¡°What! That¡¯s not it!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said sulkily
Han Qiqing said with some hesitation, ¡°You¡ don¡¯t know? About what Yin Shaojie has been doing privately?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly asked, ¡°Something he¡¯s been doing privately? What do you mean? You know about it? Why is it that you know but I don¡¯t?¡±
Upon learning of this, the little bit of unhappiness in her turned into a gigantic unhappiness.
Sure enough, there were many things that Yin Shaojie hadn¡¯t told her!
Han Qiqing said, ¡°Well¡ I¡¯ve only heard him talk about it to Sijue a few times. It seems to be about a partnership between the two of them where they are investing in some business or something. I don¡¯t know what it is specifically. In any case, it¡¯s about making money. I seem to have told you about this before, right?¡±

¡°You¡¯re right¡ but I forgot¡ I have no memory of it,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said gloomily like a deted balloon.
Han Qiqing thought for a moment and said, ¡°You seem to be quite moody today. Is it because of Aunt Flo?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao only felt that she was getting more and more restless.
¡°It must be! Actually, there are times when I¡¯m like this too. When I feel like that, I feel extremely restless and even feel like hitting people. There was once when Shijun got on my nerves, so I bit him.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled. Then she remembered something and asked, ¡°How was it yesterday? Did he send you home?¡±
¡°Yeah, he did. Oh yeah, don¡¯t stay at home alone. Come to my ce. Just likest time, we can do some aromatherapy, alright? Then we¡¯ll get the kitchen to cook up something nice.¡±
¡°Oh, okay then. Then I¡¯ll go over right away.¡±
Holding her phone, Mu Xiaoxiao got down from the sofa.
Since Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t at home, she didn¡¯t want to stay alone at home.
Han Qiqing asked, ¡°Do you want me to call the chauffeur to pick you up?¡±
¡°No need. I¡¯ll call a cab myself since it isn¡¯t that far anyways. It¡¯d be too slow for the chauffeur to go back and forth.¡±
¡°Okay, thene over soon.¡±
Hanging up the phone, Mu Xiaoxiao went into the room to change her clothes and left home while carrying her bag.
In the cab.
Just when Mu Xiaoxiao was thinking of whether to call Yin Shaojie to inform him, her phone rang.
It turned out that it wasn¡¯t Yin Shaojie who had called her.
The caller ID indicated someone else.
Mu Xiaoxiao answered the call.
¡°Yu Zhe? Is anything the matter?¡±
¡
At the Han residence.
Han Qiqing was eating snacks in the garden on the second floor, waiting for Mu Xiaoxiao to arrive.
However, an hour passed, and she still didn¡¯t see Xiaoxiao.
¡°Why is she so slow?¡± Han Qiqing muttered.
ording to the expected travel time, she should have gotten here by now.
Laying in the chair, Han Qiqing grabbed the phone next to her and gave Xiaoxiao a call.
The pleasant ringtone kept ringing until it ended, but no one answered.
¡°Why aren¡¯t you answering the phone?¡± Han Qiqing was puzzled. She dialed again, but this time, the phone on the other end was off.
She was stunned.
Han Qiqing suddenly stood up from the chair looking shocked. ¡°Why is it turned off?¡±
Did her phone run out of battery?
Or¡
A vague premonition came to her, and Han Qiqing¡¯s heart suddenly sunk and felt chilly.
Xiaoxiao¡ couldn¡¯t have gotten into an ident, could she?
Han Qiqing quickly shook her head. ¡°No, no, it can¡¯t be. It¡¯s probably just that her phone went out of battery.¡±
But the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Pacing around, she was very anxious and didn¡¯t know what to do.
If only she had known that this would happen, she would have gotten the chauffeur to pick up Xiaoxiao!
Han Qiqing hit herself on the head and chastised herself.
What should I do?
What should I do?
What should I do now?!
Should I wait a while more? Maybe Xiaoxiao¡¯s phone really ran out of battery and she is still on her way?
But a hazy sense of anxiety came over Han Qiqing, and because she couldn¡¯t stand to worry so much anymore, she immediately called Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie seemed to be busy as the dialing tone was about to be cut off before he finally answered the call.
¡°Yin Shaojie! We got a problem! I can¡¯t get through to Xiaoxiao¡¯s phone. What should I do?¡±
Yin Shaojie asked, ¡°What do you mean?¡±
Han Qiqing quickly told him about what had happened.
Then, she heard Yin Shaojie sounding tense as he said, ¡°It¡¯s not possible that her phone ran out of battery. She only charged it this morning!¡±
Han Qiqing suddenly trembled with the phone in her hand.

When Mu Xiaoxiao woke up, her skull felt sore. She could only see darkness, and there was something tightened on her face.
She was stunned for a while before she realized that she was blindfolded.
What¡¯s happening¡
She instinctively tried to raise her hand to remove the cloth covering her eyes, but then she found that she couldn¡¯t move.
She was tied to a chair.
She tried to budge forcefully, and the chair made a sound in the quiet room.
Chug! Just then, it sounded like a door opened.
Mu Xiaoxiao pricked up her ears in alert, and she said in a shaky voice, ¡°Who are you? Why did you kidnap me?¡±
There was no answer but only the sound of slowly approaching footsteps.
p!
Without warning, Mu Xiaoxiao was totally defenseless as she took a p to the face, her face nting to the side.
¡°Hahahaha¡¡± a womanughed.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. She didn¡¯t know why but she seemed to have heard this voice from somewhere.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed her hair.
A cocky voice of the woman sounded from beside her, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao oh Mu Xiaoxiao. You finally fell into my hands!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. ¡°Han, Han Xue¡¯er? It¡¯s you?!¡±
¡°Yes, it is me.¡±
Han Xue¡¯er didn¡¯t try to hide and simply admitted to it as she tugged Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hair in a rough manner.
Her scalp was bing numb from pulling her hair. Mu Xiaoxiao could clearly feel Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s hatred toward her.
She tried to feel her out, saying, ¡°Han Xue¡¯er, what do you want to do with me? Aren¡¯t you afraid¡ that Yin Shaojie would find out? If he knew¡¡±
p¡ª¡ª!
Another p came rudely to Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face.
Han Xue¡¯er eyes reddened as she stared at Mu Xiaoxiao angrily. ¡°Shut up! Mu Xiaoxiao, you are already near your deathbed, and you still want to use Young Master Jie to threaten me? Save your breath!¡±
Upon hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao was shaken.
Near¡ my deathbed?
Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s voice was full of hate. ¡°If you hadn¡¯t seduced Young Master Jie, would Young Master Jie have treated me so cruelly? It¡¯s all your fault! Mu Xiaoxiao, it¡¯s all your slutty fault that I was driven out of Shangde. Now, I have no choice but to go to a second-rate school! I don¡¯t want to stay at that rubbish school. Why the hell do you get to be happy and carefree in Shangde? Why!¡±
As sheshed out in rage, she gave Mu Xiaoxiao a couple of ps to the face.
Mu Xiaoxiao had never been beaten like this. Her mind was a buzz as she felt a little disoriented.
A nauseating sensation came over her, and Mu Xiaoxiao retched.
Han Xue¡¯er suddenly stopped moving as she stared deathly at Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face, her widened eyes looked terrifying.
¡°You slut¡ You¡¯re not pregnant with Young Master Jie¡¯s child, are you? You slut!¡±
This spection pushed Han Xue¡¯er over the edge.
Anyways, she had never intended to let Mu Xiaoxiao to leave in one piece when she had captured her.
She¡¯ll be made handicapped or dead!
Han Xue¡¯er was infuriated. She gritted her teeth and was just about to kick Mu Xiaoxiao.
Suddenly, a person behind her held her back.
Han Xue¡¯er looked back at the person and shouted, ¡°Why are you pulling me! What? You can¡¯t bear it? Oh yeah, I almost forgot. You like her, right?¡±
The man didn¡¯t reply but only grabbed her as she kept struggling, refusing to let go.
Han Xue¡¯er shot a nce at Mu Xiaoxiao, snorted coldly at him, and said, ¡°Yu Zhe, take a close look! She is now pregnant with Young Master Jie¡¯s child. Do you still like her now?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was jolted!
Yu Zhe?!

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t believe what she had just heard. Did Han Xue¡¯er really just call out Yu Zhe¡¯s name?
No!
Impossible!
How could it be Yu Zhe!
Her body trembled slightly, and she couldn¡¯t help but listen closely to the man who was speaking to Han Xue¡¯er.
Was it really Yu Zhe?
Maybe it¡¯s someone else whose name sounds the same?
Mu Xiaoxiao carried her hopes up as she chanted to herself, ¡°It¡¯s not Yu Zhe. It¡¯s not Yu Zhe¡¡±
But her heart slowly turned chilly.
Having heard her chanting, Han Xue¡¯er smiled wickedly and deliberately dashed her hopes. ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, you are really stupid! Have you forgotten? Before you were brought here, who called you on your phone? If it wasn¡¯t for Yu Zhe luring you out, how could we have gotten a chance to get you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly froze.
Han Xue¡¯erughed, ¡°What? You still don¡¯t believe that he betrayed you?¡±
Suddenly, the cloth on her face was pulled down.
¡°See for yourself!¡±
But Mu Xiaoxiao kept her eyes closed. Her lips turned pale as she bit tightly on her lips.
No, she didn¡¯t want to see¡
A tear fell from the corner of her eye, and her lips quivered even more vigorously.
Someone couldn¡¯t stand watching anymore, and he turned to leave.
Then, Han Xue¡¯er held him and said viciously, ¡°Where are you going? Let her see you. Let her know who betrayed her!¡±
¡°Enough!¡± a voice shouted angrily.
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s whole body trembled.
She finally opened her eyes.
The man who was stopped by Han Xue¡¯er right before her couldn¡¯t be anyone else but Yu Zhe.
The tears in her eyes quickly blurred her vision.
Mu Xiaoxiao said as she suppressed her sobs, ¡°Why¡¡±
Yu Zhe, why is it you?
Why is it you!
Hearing Mu Xiaoxiao sobbing, Yu Zhe was stiff from head to toe, and he didn¡¯t even dare to turn her head to look at her.
Han Xue¡¯er signaled to the bodyguard at the door to close the door to stop Yu Zhe from going out.
She then walked up to Mu Xiaoxiao and happily admired the look of sorrow on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, I¡¯ll be kind and let you in on something. You probably don¡¯t know, right? When the photo of you and Lu Yichen was posted on the bulletin board and the school¡¯s forum, do you know who was the one who did it?¡±
Han Xue¡¯er looked as if she had just won a lottery, grinning from ear to ear as she pointed her finger at Yu Zhe.
¡°It¡¯s your dear friend who sits in front of you in ss! He has also done a lot of things you have no idea about, you know? Look at these photos. He gave them to me!¡±
Han Xue¡¯er picked up the photos from the table beside her and showed them to Mu Xiaoxiao.
The photos were all pictures of Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie.
They were photos of them in the condominium¡¯s underground parking lot, at the entrance of the luxurious clubhouse¡
When Han Xue¡¯er saw the photos, rage rushed to her head as she suddenly smacked the photos onto Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face.
¡°Betrayed by someone you trust. How about that? Hahahaha¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t stop feeling the pain in her heart, and her tears couldn¡¯t stop flowing.
She remembered the first day when she had just returned to China and came to Shangde.
She entered ss S, and the first one to greet her was Yu Zhe.
She still remembered the first thing that he had said to her.
He said, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, you don¡¯t have your textbooks yet. I can lend you mine.¡±
She still remembered the fawning smile he showed her¡
Mu Xiaoxiao cried in a hoarse voice, ¡°Yu Zhe. Why, why¡¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Yu Zhe stood rooted to the ground as he heard her cries, too afraid to even turn to look at Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face.
His arms drooped by his sides as he clenched his fist, and his nails were almost embedded into the palm of his hand.
¡°Xiaoxiao, I¡¯m sorry¡ I¡¯m sorry¡¡±
Yu Zhe closed his eyes with a painful expression on him.
Han Xue¡¯er looked overjoyed at the side as if she was enjoying a show. She admired Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s painful expression and felt that she had never been so happy before.
At this moment, she felt like a queen who had Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s fate in the palm of her hands.
If she wanted Mu Xiaoxiao to suffer, then Mu Xiaoxiao would suffer.
If she wanted Mu Xiaoxiao to die, then Mu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to die!
This feeling was just too exhrating!
Han Xue¡¯er grinned and gestured to the man behind him. The man stepped forward and handed her a knife.
She slowly pulled out the de and stared at the cool light reflected from the sharp de.
It was as if she was thinking, ¡®How would it feel if this de were to cut into her flesh?¡¯
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, aren¡¯t you very proud of your pretty face? Tsk-tsk. Oh, isn¡¯t it because of your face that so many boys like you? I think Young Master Jie likes you because of your face too, right? Oh, and your hot body.¡±
Han Xue¡¯er walked up to Mu Xiaoxiao and deliberately used the de to draw strokes in front of Mu Xiaoxiao to scare her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was deeply saddened, and she wasn¡¯t in the mood to care about her perverted behavior.
She felt that Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s eyes were particrly terrifying, like a lunatic who hadpletely lost her mind.
Han Xue¡¯er pointed the tip of the de at Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s chest.
She said unhurriedly, ¡°Do you think, if I were to cut a hole here, or if I were to cut off those ample breasts of yours¡ that Young Master Jie would still like your body?¡±
Then, the de moved closer to Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s cheek.
¡°How many cuts should I make on this face?¡±
The atmosphere was tense as the cool light of the de was set in contrast against Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s fair and tender face.
Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s eyes slowly narrowed, and her eyes gradually turned scarlet red as she burned with greater hatred.
Mu Xiaoxiao could feel the coldness of the knife on her face.
She didn¡¯t dare to move, but her body trembled.
She didn¡¯t even dare to say anything that might agitate Han Xue¡¯er because she knew that Han Xue¡¯er would actually do it because Han Xue¡¯er had apparently waited for this moment for a long time.
Mu Xiaoxiao held her breath. She had almost resigned herself to her fate and given up on all hope.
She closed her eyes and waited for the pain toe.
Looking malevolently, Han Xue¡¯er watched Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s expression and shouted resentfully, ¡°Cry! Beg me! Mu Xiaoxiao, humbly beg me, and I will consider letting you go!¡±
No!
This wasn¡¯t the result she wanted.
What she wanted was to stomp on Mu Xiaoxiao beneath her feet like rubbish.
Mu Xiaoxiao should be screaming in fear, so afraid and lost that she would cry and beg to be let go.
Not like this¡ so peacefully and quickly resolved!
Han Xue¡¯er hated Mu Xiaoxiao to the core.
With the de on her face, why isn¡¯t she afraid! Why isn¡¯t she screaming!
¡°Cry! Scream! Do you hear me!¡±
Han Xue¡¯er pulled Mu Xiaoxiao angrily, wanting her to follow her script.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao stared at her through the corner of her eyes. There were still tears in her eyes, but this didn¡¯t make her look weak. Her eyes were resolute. Even though her body was shaking, she wore a scornful look as she stared at the other party.

¡°Han Xue¡¯er, give it up. I won¡¯t beg you!¡±
Han Xue¡¯er was enraged. ¡°Do you think I won¡¯t dare to do anything to you because you have Young Master Jie¡¯s support? Okay, then I will show you! I will cut your face now! Let¡¯s see if Young Master Jie will still like you!¡±
She lifted her knife and her arm was just about to fall when Mu Xiaoxiao suddenlyughed.
¡°What are youughing at? What are youughing at!¡± Han Xue¡¯er was irritated by her.
Without a de ced against her face, Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head and looked at her proudly. She smiled and said confidently, ¡°I just want to tell you that whether I am disfigured or not or if my body looks different, I am sorry, but Yin Shaojie will still like me. He just likes me. I will be the only one he likes in this lifetime!¡±
From the crazy look on Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s face, she knew that she might not be able to live through it this time.
So, she couldn¡¯t care anymore!
Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t intentionally provoking Han Xue¡¯er.
She was only expressing her true feelings.
She just wanted Han Xue¡¯er to know how much Yin Shaojie liked her. He liked her not because of her appearance but because she was Mu Xiaoxiao!
Only because she was Mu Xiaoxiao!
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled derisively and said, ¡°Han Xue¡¯er, even if you did stic surgery and had my pretty face and hot body, Yin Shaojie would still not like you. In his heart, other women are nothing. He only likes me! Until forever!¡±
¡°No! That¡¯s wrong! Shut up! You shut your mouth!¡±
Like a lunatic, Han Xue¡¯er hit Mu Xiaoxiao out of nowhere.
Mu Xiaoxiao leaned her head to the side. With nowhere to escape, she had no choice but to eat her fist.
¡°If you didn¡¯t exist, Young Master Jie would definitely like me! Mu Xiaoxiao, you slut. How can you say that Young Master Jie will only like you! It¡¯s not possible that he will only like you alone! Go to hell!¡±
Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s eyes grew even redder. She grasped tightly the de in her hand, pointed it at Mu Xiaoxiao, and went to stab her.
Mu Xiaoxiao closed her eyes tightly.
The sharp, cold de stopped above her neck.
Someone stopped Han Xue¡¯er. She turned her head back in annoyance and said to Yu Zhe, ¡°Why are you stopping me! Let go! Why do you still like this filth! Why do you still like this filth, that so many men have slept with and ridden! I can easily find you a hundred or a thousand women like her!¡±
Seeing that even Yu Zhe wanted to protect Mu Xiaoxiao, Han Xue¡¯er grew even angrier.
Anger had flushed her face red as if she could explode at any time.
Yu Zhe said coldly, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you wouldn¡¯t let her die so quickly? You still have to torture her slowly and make her beg for death. If you kill her now, it¡¯d just be easy for her.¡±
Hearing this, Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s expression froze, and she nodded her head in a daze.
¡°Yes¡ I can¡¯t let her get off so easily. I still have things that I have prepared for her¡¡±
Yu Zhe gestured to the Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s bodyguards with a look. Then the man came over and said to Han Xue¡¯er, ¡°Miss, the people you called for areing right away.¡±
¡°Good! Excellent! Hahahahaha!¡± Han Xue¡¯er seemed to have remembered something as sheughed out loud.
She put down the knife in her hand and said delightedly to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°I have prepared for you¡ many, many men. They are all hobos, all dirty and stinky. I will let them rape you. I will let each one of them rape you. Let¡¯s see if you can still feel proud of yourself! Slut!¡±

Upon hearing this, the redness of Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s cheeks faded as she turned pale in horror.
Han Xue¡¯er suddenly remembered something. ¡°Oh, right! I forgot to ask them to prepare a camera. For such an exciting scene, surely we have to capture it and let Young Master Jie admire it, don¡¯t you think so?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and said nothing.
Han Xue¡¯er used a knife to lift up her chin, forcing Mu Xiaoxiao to look at her, and she shouted, ¡°I asked you a question? Answer me!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao snorted, refusing to speak to a lunatic.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoxiao was a hundred percent certain that Han Xue¡¯er had gone crazy.
¡°Slut!¡± Han Xue¡¯er pped her again, turning Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face to the side.
¡°Just wait and enjoy itter!¡± Han Xue¡¯er said as she gritted her teeth.
She then strutted toward the door and told the bodyguard, ¡°Go get a camera right away. I want to film the whole process of her being raped!¡±
The bodyguard was stunned for a moment but still replied respectfully, ¡°I understand. I will send someone to bring it right away.¡±
¡°Go quickly! I have a show to watch. And bring those hobos over here quickly.¡±
¡°Understood, Miss. I¡¯ll go make the call to rush them.¡±
The two went out.
Only Mu Xiaoxiao and Yu Zhe were left in the room.
Yu Zhe¡¯s gaze seemed to be locked on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t look at him, but she maintained her posture with her face turned to the side.
The quiet atmosphere started to feel awkward.
Suddenly, a raspy voice called in front of her.
¡°Xiaoxiao¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao jolted slightly, and her nose tingled with sourness.
She wanted to say: Yu Zhe, don¡¯t say my name. We aren¡¯t friends anymore.
From the moment you betrayed me, we were no longer friends.
Mu Xiaoxiao liked to make friends. When she was studying at the States, she had many friends, both male and female. She had received a lot of warmth and joy from her friends, and she always tried her best to help her friends.
This was the first time that she had ever experienced the feeling of being betrayed by a friend.
It turned out to be¡ so painful!
Gradually, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes became watery again. Tears blurred her vision, and they rolled down her cheeks and fell onto herp.
¡°Xiaoxiao¡¡± Yu Zhe¡¯s called her name in a lower, raspy voice.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned a deaf ear and didn¡¯t respond.
Yu Zhe squatted in front of her, reached out his hand, and turned her face toward him as if he couldn¡¯t stand her cold treatment.
He apologized, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up and confronted his gaze.
Yu Zhe¡¯s gaze seemed veryplicated, filled with sorriness, worry, guilt, remorse, and many conflicted feelings.
As her tears continued to fall, she asked in a sobbing tone, ¡°Why? Yu Zhe, tell me why?¡±
Why are you helping Han Xue¡¯er?
Why did you betray me?
You must have your reasons, right?
Even if Yu Zhe had betrayed her, Mu Xiaoxiao still carried some hope as she couldn¡¯t believe that Yu Zhe, who had been so nice to her, would be such a deceitful and evil person.
She would rather believe that he didn¡¯t want it to happen but was forced into it.
Yu Zhe didn¡¯t give her an exnation but only said repeatedly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±
His hand gently stroked her cheek. Seeing her face red and swollen from the multiple ps Han Xue¡¯er had dealt her, sorrow flitted across his eyes.

Feeling the soreness, Mu Xiaoxiao frowned and instinctively shrank away from his touch.
He was startled for a moment, and he asked, ¡°Is it very painful?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao eyes revealed a bitter sneer. Han Xue¡¯er was merciless and heavy-handed with her every hit. How could it not hurt?
Wasn¡¯t he watching from the side, allowing it to happen?
She couldn¡¯t help but think that if Yin Shaojie was her, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have let her endure this pain.
As the thought flitted across her mind, Mu Xiaoxiao immediately began to miss Yin Shaojie!
She sniffed and asked Yu Zhe with a pitiful voice, ¡°Yu Zhe¡ Can you help me? Only you can help me now, okay? Help me call Yin Shaojie and tell him toe save me.¡±
No one would want to die if there was still hope.
She didn¡¯t want to die either!
( B oxnovel.c om ) She had only just been together with Yin Shaojie, and their blissful times had yet toe. In the future, there was still lots of happy times that they had yet to experience together, so she really didn¡¯t want to die. She wanted to live on and spend the rest of her life with Yin Shaojie.
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhe froze for a moment, and he put down his finger.
¡°No, I can¡¯t help you,¡± he said coldly.
Mu Xiaoxiao asked grievously, ¡°Why? Yu Zhe, do you want me to die? Have you really never treated me as a friend?¡±
He had obviously been so good to her. He even remembered her tastes and would even prepare strawberry milk and sandwiches for her.
Why would he suddenly treat her like this?
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t wrap her head around this!
Even if it was just as Han Xue¡¯er had said, that he liked her, had his love turned into hatred?
But she didn¡¯t believe that Yu Zhe was this kind of a person!
Suddenly, she remembered what he had said to Han Xue¡¯er earlier¡
In an instant, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s blood seemed to regurgitate, her heart turning chilly.
So, he knew about the terrible things that Han Xue¡¯er was going to do to her, right?
Yet, he still chose to help Han Xue¡¯er.
Why?
She really couldn¡¯t understand why!
In this moment, all the hopes that she was carrying instantly shattered.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him in anguish and said, ¡°Why are you doing this to me?¡±
Although she had never done anything for him, she had always regarded him as a friend!
Yu Zhe took a deep breath as if he was restraining himself as he stared at her with aplicated expression on his face.
( B oxnovel.c om ) He didn¡¯t say anything but only stared at her with a look of yearning and attachment as if to engrave her into the depths of his memory.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s tears continued to fall, and she stopped appealing to him.
She had already given up all hopes on him.
Tears blurred her vision, so she couldn¡¯t make out Yu Zhe¡¯s expression as he stared at her.
After some time, Yu Zhe finally stood up.
Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t looking at him. She seemed to be very tired, staring into the distance as if she wasn¡¯t here in spirit.
Yu Zhe slowly walked out.
Standing at the door, he said in a raspy voice, ¡°Yes, I¡ have treated you as a friend.¡±
He paused for a while as though he was waiting for her reaction.
However, after a few minutes, there was no sound from Mu Xiaoxiao as if she had fallen asleep.
Emotions flitted across Yu Zhe¡¯s eyes, and he left the room.
Mu Xiaoxiao heard what he had said, but she had no response because it was all meaningless.
The point was no longer about whether he had treated her as a friend before but that he had betrayed her.
Betrayal could not be forgiven.

Upon receiving Han Qiqing¡¯s call, Yin Shaojie set aside the important matter he was dealing with and rushed back to the condominium.
Han Qiqing was also worried about Xiaoxiao, so when she rushed to the condominium, she met with Yin Shaojie.
¡°How is it? Did you manage to contact Xiaoxiao?¡± Han Qiqing hurriedly asked Yin Shaojie as she entered the apartment.
Yin Shaojie maintained a cold expression and said nothing.
He went into every room to check if there were any clues.
Very quickly, he walked out of the room with no clues in hand. Then he looked at Han Qiqing and asked, ¡°When did you first find out that she was gone?¡±
Han Qiqing quickly replied, ¡°Just an hour ago after you went out. Xiaoxiao was in a bad mood, so she called to chat with me. Then¡ I suggested¡¡±
She was a little scared as she took a peek at Yin Shaojie¡¯s elegant face.
The look on his face was too terrifying as if he could kill someone any time now.
Then, she took a deep breath, plucked up her courage, and continued to speak.
¡°I suggested that shee to my house since she was feeling restless at home alone.¡±
She didn¡¯t dare to say more. Then, she stared at Yin Shaojie timidly.
¡°And then?¡± Yin Shaojie asked coldly.
¡°Then¡ After an hour, I realized that she still hasn¡¯t reached my house yet, so I called her. But after the first unsessful call, her phone was then turned off. Then I quickly called you. Uh¡ Xiaoxiao shouldn¡¯t be in trouble, right?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s chest was rising and falling vigorously as if he was restraining his emotions.
He needed to calm himself down.
He must stay calm!
Han Qiqing looked at him anxiously, ¡°What should we do now?¡±
Yin Shaojie held his forehead, looking as if he was about to blow his top, his face ashen with anger.
Instead of answering Han Qiqing, he took out his phone and called Ye Sijue.
Just then.
Ye Sijue was in the hotel¡¯s presidential suite.
Mo Xiaomeng had a high fever throughout the whole night. At six o¡¯clock in the morning, her fever finally subsided, and she slowly fell asleep.
The doctor had just left.
After taking a few phone calls, Ye Sijue was catching up on his sleep. Before he could rest for long, he was woken up by Yin Shaojie¡¯s phone call.
Anyone would get irritable after a whole night without sleep.
So Ye Sijue sounded irritated as he answered, ¡°What¡¯s up? Can¡¯t you handle it on your side?¡±
¡°Where are you? Xiaoxiao is missing,¡± Yin Shaojie said, cutting straight to the point.
Ye Sijue¡¯s eyes suddenly widened as he sat up from the sofa. ¡°Xiaoxiao is missing? What do you mean?¡±
Yin Shaojie said irritably, ¡°She¡¯s just missing! Literally! Hurry up and help me find her. No matter how much resources or whichever method you use, find her in the fastest time!¡±
¡°Your baby is really¡¡±
Before Ye Sijue could finish speaking, Yin Shaojie rebuked him, ¡°Stop talking! I really feel like killing someone right now. Stop angering me, and don¡¯t say another word of that kind of talk!¡±
Ye Sijue replied, ¡°Okay, don¡¯t worry. Xiaoxiao is very blessed. All her misfortunes will turn into blessings.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s hope so!¡±
With that said, Yin Shaojie hung up the phone.
Ye Sijue held his head, which was hurting because ofck of sleep, his brows deeply knitted.
He got up and walked into the washroom.
After a few minutes, Ye Sijue looked bright-eyed without a hint of bleariness after washing his face.
He called someone on his phone as he walked out of the suite.

Bang¡ªthe door closed.
The person on the bed moved about and rolled over. Her face was toward the window as the sunlight shined on her little face.
Dazzled by the sun¡¯s rays, she finally couldn¡¯t help but open her eyes and lift her palms to block the rays.
¡°Ungh uh¡¡±
She moaned and turned her body over to the other side.
She was tired all over as if all her strength had been sucked out of her, and she just wanted to sleep well.
Mo Xiaomeng stretched herself and touched the soft pillow with her little hand.
This bed is so big and sofortable¡
She couldn¡¯t help but roll back and forth on the bed happily.
She sighed in contentment, pressed her lips together, and was ready to continue sleeping.
However, her stomach began to grumble.
Mo Xiaomeng slept for a few more minutes, but then she couldn¡¯t stand the grumbling of her stomach, so she had no choice but to open her eyes.
¡°So hungry¡¡±
Why do I feel so hungry?
She used to wake upte, but she had never felt so hungry before, and it was as if she hadn¡¯t eaten all day and night.
Mo Xiaomeng was so hungry that she finally sat up.
She tried to reach for the phone at the side, thinking about calling the hotel to have them send breakfast.
However, this bed was too big, and because her hand was too short, she couldn¡¯t reach the nightstand.
Mo Xiaomeng sighed. She had no choice but to shift her body to reach it.
Suddenly, she froze, and her eyes widened.
Eh!
This room wasn¡¯t the one she had been staying at!
The memory suddenly returned like a tide, reminding her of what happenedst night.
Oh yeah!
She was sold by the bad guys and then saved by a handsome guy¡
Mo Xiaomeng looked around but didn¡¯t find Ye Sijue anywhere.
Muddled-headed, she even wondered if what happened was all a dream.
But after taking another look around, she confirmed that this wasn¡¯t the room that she had booked. Because the memory of the previous night matched this ce, she knew that it wasn¡¯t a dream.
It seems that he has gone out?
Mo Xiaomeng lifted the nket and got up. Just when she was worried about finding clothes to wear, she saw the skirt ced on the armchair.
This was women¡¯s clothing. It should have been prepared for her, right?
It can¡¯t be for himself, right?
Wearing a smile on her face, Mo Xiaomeng walked over to pick up the skirt. The skirt was light purple, which was a color she liked.
That handsome guy is surprisingly thoughtful.
Mo Xiaomeng quickly changed her clothes and left the room.
¡
In a hidden house on the outskirts.
After Han Xue¡¯er was done beating Mu Xiaoxiao, she was in a good mood as she walked out of the living room and reclined on the sofa.
As she was waiting for the bodyguard to set things up, she called Han Yun¡¯er.
¡°Where did you go? If you are still not going toe, you¡¯ll miss the show.¡±
Whenever Han Xue¡¯er imagined the things that would happen to Mu Xiaoxiaoter, she couldn¡¯t feel any happier. Even the tone of her voice as she was talking to Han Yun¡¯er sounded more pleasant.
¡°I was just about to go over, but I was dyed by a little situation. How is it? Are things going smoothly? What are you going to do with Mu Xiaoxiao?¡± Han Yun¡¯er asked.
But what was actually happening was that Han Yun¡¯er was at the Han residence, sitting on the sofa as she answered the phone.
She had an eerie smirk.
Han Xue¡¯er wasughing over the phone as she said delightedly, ¡°It¡¯s something that you definitely can¡¯t have thought of! I sent someone to to find a bunch of dirty, stinky hobos. They are nauseating from top to bottom. Then, I¡¯ll give them money and have them rape Mu Xiaoxiao! Hahahahaha!¡±

Hearing that, Han Yun¡¯er smiled coldly, but she still said in a cheerful tone, ¡°This is not a bad idea! Wait for me then. I¡¯m in the car now. I¡¯ll go over right away.¡±
Though she said that, she had no intention of getting up from the sofa.
Han Xue¡¯er snorted, ¡°Who¡¯s gonna wait for you! You¡¯re so slow. I¡¯m not gonna wait for you. When those hobos are brought here, the game will officially begin! But don¡¯t you worry because I still have lots of ways to torture Xiaoxiao. You can still catch theter part of the show if you hurry here.¡±
¡°When are those hobosing?¡± Han Yun¡¯er probed.
Han Xue¡¯er was also quite anxious as she turned to the bodyguard and shouted. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you had already arranged for those people toe? Why aren¡¯t they here yet? Just how long is it going to take!¡±
The bodyguard replied, ¡°It may take about another ten minutes.¡±
Han Xue¡¯er scolded him angrily, ¡°It¡¯s still gonna take that long!? What a bunch of worthless shits!¡±
She didn¡¯t want to wait for another ten minutes.
Her patience was running out, and she wanted to see Mu Xiaoxiao being abused immediately. ( B oxnovel.c om )
¡°Tell them to drive faster!¡±
¡°Yes, Miss,¡± the bodyguard nodded and replied. Then, he took out his phone to make the call.
Han Xue¡¯er said to Han Yun¡¯er, ¡°It¡¯s still going to take about ten minutes more. Come over quickly, and you may still be able to watch the show.¡±
¡°Okay, got it,¡± Han Yun¡¯er said.
¡°Enough talk. This is getting on my nerves, I have to go in and vent my anger on her,¡± Han Xue¡¯er said, and she hung up the phone.
Staring at the phone screen, Han Yun¡¯er tugged at the corner of her mouth.
She cleared her throat, organized her thoughts, and dialed Yin Shaojie¡¯s phone number.
Thinking that the call might be answered quickly after a short ring, Han Yun¡¯er was already mentally prepared. However, Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t even answer, immediately rejecting the call.
Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s expression stiffened, and anger seethed in her eyes. However, she quickly calmed herself down.
It was more important that she followed through with her ns!
She was afraid that Yin Shaojie had cklisted her, so she very quickly wrote a text message and sent it to him.
Just as she intended, Yin Shaojie immediately returned the call after seeing the text message.
Although she knew that he was calling because of news of Mu Xiaoxiao, Han Yun¡¯er couldn¡¯t help but feel excited when she saw his name in the caller ID.
After clearing her throat, she quickly answered the call.
¡°Young Master Jie,¡± she said in a gentle voice.
Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t going to dawdle with her, so he said sternly, ¡°Do you know Xiaoxiao¡¯s whereabouts? Where is she?¡±
Han Yun¡¯er was somewhat discontent.
Why didn¡¯t he ask her how she knew?
He was only concerned about Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s whereabouts!
Han Yun¡¯er had only paused for two seconds before Yin Shaojie exploded and shouted, ¡°Tell me now!¡±
Han Yun¡¯er was shocked. Even though he was talking on the phone, it seemed like she could still feel Yin Shaojie¡¯s ruthlessness.
She had never seen Young Master Jiebe so terrifying¡
( B oxnovel.c om ) She quickly replied, ¡°It¡¯s Han Xue¡¯er! Actually, she is my half-sister, who has the same father but different mothers. When I returned home today, I just happened to see her going out. I overheard her talking over the phone about kidnapping Mu Xiaoxiao. I wasn¡¯t sure if I heard right. I just called her to check and found that she went to a house near our district, so I suspect that she has kidnapped Mu Xiaoxiao and taken her there.¡±
¡°Tell me the address!¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t want to care about anything but to quickly find Mu Xiaoxiao.

Han Yun¡¯er was not done saying what she wanted to say.
She had to let Yin Shaojie know that she was a good person and make him feel that he owed her a favor.
¡°Young Master Jie, do you really believe what I said? I thought you wouldn¡¯t believe me. Although I had some disagreements with Mu Xiaoxiao in the past, I can¡¯t bear to see anything happen to her. I also hope that she¡¡±
¡°Tell me the address!¡± Yin Shaojie gritted his teeth as he interrupted her.
Having stayed with him for a week, Han Yun¡¯er knew how to take cues from his mood, so she cut the chatter and gave him the address of the house.
Yin Shaojie said a thank you and hung up.
Han Yun¡¯er smirked delightedly, picked up the cup of scented tea from the coffee table, and slowly sipped from it.
Han Xue¡¯er oh Han Xue¡¯er, you definitely wouldn¡¯t have guessed that I would be the one to inform Young Master Jie, would you?
After she put down the cup, she stood up and went outside.
How could she miss such an exciting show!
Thinking about how she would be able to kill two birds with one stone, Han Yun¡¯er couldn¡¯t help but feel impressed with herself.
Although she also hated Mu Xiaoxiao, Han Xue¡¯er was the person she hated the most.
Moreover, she wasn¡¯t in a hurry to deal with Mu Xiaoxiao.
She would rather use this opportunity to get close with Yin Shaojie, pretending to be a good person to him and make a favorable impression of herself.
Han Yun¡¯er understood her situation very well. Given her position now, even if Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t have Mu Xiaoxiao by his side, she would still not be able to take Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ce.
Therefore, she had to get close to Yin Shaojie using another method.
Of course, the best thing for her was if she could be a friend to him and Mu Xiaoxiao and step into their circle.
Han Yun¡¯er narrowed her eyes as she thought of such an ending. She felt that this wasn¡¯t merely a situation of killing two birds with one stone; there were simply too many benefits in store for her.
If Young Master Jie were to catch Han Xue¡¯er red-handed this time, then Han Yun¡¯er would obviously rise in status in the Han family.
Perhaps she could even use this incident to be the legitimate Han family¡¯s young missy?
With that thought, Han Yun¡¯er smiled even more delightedly.
¡
In that hidden house in the outskirts.
When Han Xue¡¯er saw Yu Zheing out, she couldn¡¯t help but scoff at him. ¡°How is it? Those hobos areing soon. Since you like her so much, would you like to get a taste of her before she bes spoiled?¡±
Yu Zhe ignored her words. He kept a cold expression as he walked over to the armchair and sat down quietly.
Han Xue¡¯er walked up to him in her high heels, stared down at him, and said, ¡°Yu Zhe, I just don¡¯t understand. Didn¡¯t you betray her to get your hands on her? Now that you have the chance, why aren¡¯t you doing it? Or do you like sloppy seconds? Hahaha, your taste is so unique!¡±
Yu Zhe looked up and red at her coldly. ¡°Can you shut up?¡±
Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s ego was hurt. Her mood, which had just gotten better, instantly turned sour.
¡°Who are you telling to shut up? Who are you? How dare you tell me to shut up?!¡±
She red heatedly at Yu Zhe.
But Yu Zhe didn¡¯t even a shit about her. When she finished speaking, he supported his forehead with his palm and retreated into his own world.
Seeing how dispirited he looked, Han Xue¡¯er curled her lips derisively, bing even more jealous and hateful of Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s charm.
Why does every man fall head over heels in love with her!
Her face was contorted as she smiled. ¡°Fine¡ you are all so infatuated with her, right?¡±

Han Xue¡¯er suddenly ordered the bodyguard, ¡°Drag that slut out here!¡±
Yu Zhe froze for a moment. With knitted brows, he looked up at her, gritted his teeth, and said indignantly, ¡°What are you trying to do now?!¡±
Han Xue¡¯er deliberately smiled and said nothing as she watched how anxious he looked.
Shortly, the bodyguard brought Mu Xiaoxiao out.
Han Xue¡¯er red at the bodyguard and shouted, ¡°I told you to drag her out! Drag her! Do you understand? Idiot!¡±
The bodyguard was startled, then immediately released Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked wretched. The moment the bodyguard let go of her, she fell to the carpet.
Han Xue¡¯er red at the bodyguard. ¡°Drag!¡±
Bodyguard nced at Mu Xiaoxiao on the ground and had no choice but to grab one of her hands and drag her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was in great difort. She felt like standing up to walk, but she couldn¡¯t do it.
And since there was a lot of friction against the carpet, it was harder to drag her.
The only good thing to be happy about in this situation was that she wasn¡¯t far from Han Xue¡¯er, so she didn¡¯t need to be dragged over a longer distance.
However, Han Xue¡¯er had gotten some perverse satisfaction.
When Mu Xiaoxiao was dragged in front of her, Han Xue¡¯er sat on the sofa, posturing herself like she was a queen as she stared down at Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°Little slut, have you considered it yet? Do you want to beg me? If you beg me, who knows if I may grow soft-hearted.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao lowered her head and leaned over her upper body on the carpet. She didn¡¯t look up or retort her.
Yu Zhe, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa, suddenly felt that something was wrong as he stared fixedly at Mu Xiaoxiao.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s head was lowered so that no one could see her expression.
¡°Hey! I¡¯m talking to you. Do you hear me?¡±
Han Xue¡¯er waited for a while without getting a reply before she grew impatient.
She gestured to the bodyguard with a look.
The bodyguard squatted down and rudely lifted up Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face.
The redness on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s cheeks seemed to have faded entirely. Looking wretched, she gritted her teeth as cold sweat formed on her forehead.
Seeing this scene, Yu Zhe look startled, and his hand, which was ced on the sofa, clenched into a fist.
What¡¯s wrong with her?
But it was Han Xue¡¯er who asked instead, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with her?¡±
Bodyguard shook his head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know. When I went in just now, she was already like this.¡±
Han Xue¡¯er snorted scornfully, ¡°Are you pretending to be dead? Do you think I¡¯ll just let you go like this? You wish!¡±
She stood up angrily, walked up to Mu Xiaoxiao, and suddenly gave Mu Xiaoxiao a kick.
Laying on the carpet, Mu Xiaoxiao kept exuding cold sweat as she sped her stomach with her hands.
Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s eyes glowed red as she stared at her hands.
She¡¯s covering her stomach?
Han Xue¡¯er sneered and said, ¡°You¡¯re really pregnant, aren¡¯t you? Good, then I¡¯ll just kill this baby. Let¡¯s see whatcha gonna do about it!¡±
As she said, she kicked Mu Xiaoxiao in the stomach.
¡°No¡ don¡¯t¡¡±
After not responding the whole time just now, Mu Xiaoxiao finally called out weakly.
She curled her body, trying to avoid Han Xue¡¯er kicking her in the stomach.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know what Han Xue¡¯er was saying.
What was it about her being pregnant?
The furthest that she had went with Yin Shaojie was only kissing. They hadn¡¯t even done it yet. How could she be pregnant?
Besides, Aunt Flo was just visiting!
It was for this reason that she was feeling so ufortable.
When she was in that room, she had been tied to a chair, and because the windows were open, the cold air had kepting in.

She was tied up and couldn¡¯t move her hands, so she had no choice but to endure the cold wind and had gotten a cold. Her lower abdomen began to hurt. Then, the pain became more and more intense, causing her to turn pale.
Sometimes, pain could be truly unbearable!
However, Han Xue¡¯er wasn¡¯t aware of this and continued to believe that Mu Xiaoxiao was pregnant.
If this is Young Master Jie¡¯s child, then it must not be born! She wanted Mu Xiaoxiao to lose the baby!
Thus, Han Xue¡¯er had no intention of stopping.
Sitting by the side, Yu Zhe watched as Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little face was so pale as if she was about to die.
His heart ached painfully.
Finally, he couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. He quickly rushed up and pulled Han Xue¡¯er away.
¡°Enough! Stop kicking her!¡± Yu Zhe yelled at Han Xue¡¯er.
Is she trying to kick Xiaoxiao to death!
Yu Zhe red fiercely at Han Xue¡¯er with reddened eyes.
Han Xue¡¯er sneered and said, ¡°What? Feeling sorry for her? You have already betrayed her. What¡¯s the point of feeling sorry for her now? Do you think she will still see you as a good person?¡±
( .c om ) She walked over to the bodyguard and spread open her hand. The bodyguard put a knife in her hand.
Han Xue¡¯er pulled out the de and thrust it toward Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°Stop!¡± Yu Zhe couldn¡¯t control himself. He was already in front of Mu Xiaoxiao to shield her, his eyes seething with anger as he stared face to face with Han Xue¡¯er.
Han Xue¡¯er mocked him, saying, ¡°Do you think that if you block me that I won¡¯t dare to stab you? I¡¯m telling you, Yu Zhe. If you are not going to move away, then I will really stab you. Let¡¯s see if you love her enough to take a knife for her!¡±
In her perspective, everyone loved oneself the most. However much they liked another person, they would never take a knife for them.
This was just the opportune moment to experiment and let Yu Zhe see for himself that his feelings for Mu Xiaoxiao only amounted to that!
Upon doling out her threats, she shot a re at Yu Zhe.
But Yu Zhe wasn¡¯t moving away.
Han Xue¡¯er curled her lips scornfully, lifted up her hand, and was really going to stab him.
¡°Yu Zhe! Go away!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedly shouted.
She tried to push him away, but Yu Zhe was standing firmly. Moreover, she was in a weakened state, so she couldn¡¯t even budge him.
¡°Yu Zhe¡ª¡ª¡±
Right before her eyes, the sharp de stabbed straight into Yu Zhe¡¯s shoulder.
¡°Ugh!¡± Yu Zhe groaned in pain, but he didn¡¯t move away.
It was as if he knew that if he were to move away, the knife would stab into Mu Xiaoxiao.
At this time, Yu Zhe wasn¡¯t thinking about the pain of the wound but Lu Yichen instead¡
He remembered the previous incident when Lu Yichen took a knife for Mu Xiaoxiao like the hero saving the damsel in distress.
Then, Yu Zhe was oddly filled with joy.
This time, it was he who had taken a knife for Xiaoxiao!
( .c om ) Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly.
Yu Zhe¡ Didn¡¯t he betray me?
Then why is he still protecting me!
Even Han Xue¡¯er couldn¡¯t understand this. Her eyes were widened in astonishment as she shouted furiously, ¡°Why did you take the knife for her? Why!¡±
With that said, she pulled up the de madly and stabbed him again.
¡°No¡ª¡ª¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s pupil shrunk as she cried out loud to stop Han Xue¡¯er.
She even endured the pain in her body as she tried to get up, but Yu Zhe pressed his hand backward on her leg to stop her from getting up.
The second stab went into Yu Zhe¡¯s shoulder again, piercing a second bloody hole in him.

Yu Zhe clenched his teeth and endured the terrible pain. He was covered in cold sweat all over as he shivered.
However, he stood firmly and stared straight into Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s eyes.
He squeezed some words through gritted teeth, ¡°So¡ are you happy now?¡±
How could Han Xue¡¯er possibly be satisfied!
This wasn¡¯t the result that she wanted!
Han Xue¡¯er pulled out the knife in a huff again, and the bright red blood sprayed out of the wound. Because the wound was deeper this time around, Yu Zhe¡¯s left shoulder was quickly stained with blood.
The bright red blood gurgled out of the wound and stained the left side of his shirt.
¡°You! You¡ª¡ª¡± Han Xue¡¯er was so furious that she couldn¡¯te up with words to say. Her eyes were blind with anger and filled with killing intent.
She pulled out the knife intending to stab him again.
This time, she wanted to kill Yu Zhe!
She didn¡¯t want to see any man willingly sacrifice his life for Mu Xiaoxiao.
Why!
How could Mu Xiaoxiao make others act so selflessly for her sake!
¡°Don¡¯t!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao noticed her killing intent, and she screamed, ¡°Han Xue¡¯er! Stop it! I¡¯m the one you want to kill, not him! Stop taking it out on him! If you want to kill, then kill me!¡±
¡°No¡ª¡ª¡± Yu Zhe gritted his teeth to endure the pain, but he could only shout out a word.
He tried to stand up, but he lost his strength and fell on the carpet.
¡°Yu Zhe! Are you okay? Yu Zhe!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was extremely worried, and she didn¡¯t care for her own pain as she kept by his side to check on his situation.
Blood¡ There¡¯s so much blood¡
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked by the scene before her eyes.
Yu Zhe shielded her just now, so she couldn¡¯t see his injury and didn¡¯t know how much blood he had lost.
Upon seeing it, she was dumbfounded.
Why¡ Why is there so much blood¡
It was even more frightening than the time Lu Yichen had helped her.
Fresh blood had even spilled onto the carpet and stained it red.
¡°Yu, Yu Zhe¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was frightened out of her wits and didn¡¯t know what to do.
Yu Zhe had two bright red bloody wounds on his shoulders. Blood was gurgling out, looking like it was draining him dry.
What should I do¡
What should I do¡
Just what should I do?
Mu Xiaoxiao tried to look for any cloth around, but she couldn¡¯t find any around her.
Then, she snapped out of it, quickly took off her jacket, and pressed it on Yu Zhe¡¯s wound with shaky hands.
¡°Yu Zhe, hold on! You¡¯ll be alright, you¡¯ll be alright¡¡±
Han Xue¡¯er red fiercely at Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°He has already betrayed you. Why do you still care so much for him? Why don¡¯t you just let him die?!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes were scarlet red as she turned to her and shouted, ¡°Shut up! You lunatic! He¡¯s not going to die! You should die! When you die, then we¡¯ll finally have peace!¡±
¡°You want me to die? The person who is going to die now is you!¡±
Han Xue¡¯er had lost her mind.
I have already tried to kill one person anyways. Killing another makes no difference!
She thrust the knife toward Mu Xiaoxiao.
Bang! The door was kicked open and mmed into the wall.
¡°Han Xue¡¯er!!¡± A chilly voice that seemed to havee from hell howled loudly.
Han Xue¡¯er froze, looking at the people who had barged in disbelief, and her legs went jelly.
¡°Jie, Young Master Jie?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Yin Shaojie in pleasant surprise. ¡°You¡¯re here!¡±
Yin Shaojie first scanned to see if Mu Xiaoxiao had been hurt anywhere. After confirming that she was fine, he could finally put down the worry weighing on his heart.

He also scanned Yu Zhe, and he furrowed his brows.
Isn¡¯t this the guy sitting in front of Xiaoxiao in ss?
Why is he here?
At this time, what was important wasn¡¯t these things anymore but¡
Yin Shaojie red at Han Xue¡¯er with eyes as terrifying as Yama¡¯s, the king of hell. His voice was icy cold as he said, ¡°Han Xue¡¯er, who gave you the guts?!¡±
¡°I, I¡¡±
Han Xue¡¯er had never seen Yin Shaojie like this before. Panic-stricken, she fell and sat on the ground, and her body trembled.
The bodyguards she had with her were totally useless. Seeing Yin Shaojie¡¯s fearsome look, they didn¡¯t even dare to go up to him.
Mu Xiaoxiao shouted, ¡°Jie! Come here quickly! I¡¯m so scared! Come here and help, quickly!¡±
Yin Shaojie pointed to Han Xue¡¯er and said, ¡°Just wait!¡±
He then walked up to Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°Jie, quickly, save¡¡±
Before Mu Xiaoxiao could finish speaking, Yin Shaojie embraced her tightly.
Yin Shaojie kissed her hair, and there was a slight trembling in his low, husky voice as he said, ¡°You¡¯re alright. It¡¯s good that you¡¯re alright¡ You scared me, you know?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to return the hug, but she couldn¡¯t move her hand or Yu Zhe¡¯s blood would start flowing out again.
She could only press herself tightly in his embrace.
In his warm embrace, surrounded by the air of his exclusive dedication, she felt very secure, and it allowed her to calm her fear.
Though she was pped in the face and kicked multiple times by that crazy Han Xue¡¯er, Mu Xiaoxiao eased his worries, saying, ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±
At the thought of this, she was extremely angry.
But now, she wasn¡¯t afraid anymore for her guardian had arrived!
With Yin Shaojie, she wasn¡¯t afraid of anyone!
Meanwhile, Han Xue¡¯er nervously nced at Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao, then toward the door. She knew that that was her only chance of escape.
She couldn¡¯t stop the trembling throughout her body as she dragged her jelly legs toward the door.
But just then, a few figures appeared at the door.
It was Ye Sijue, Han Qiqing, and Song Shijun.
¡°Xiaoxiao!¡± Han Qiqing shouted as soon as she entered the room and anxiously rushed up to Mu Xiaoxiao.
Song Shijun folded her arms at his chest, standing in front of Han Xue¡¯er to obstruct her as he scoffed, ¡°Trying to run?¡±
Han Xue¡¯er wasn¡¯t so afraid of him, but when she was confronted with Ye Sijue¡¯s gaze, her legs instantly became jelly again.
The next moment, a group of policemen poured into the room.
Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s body then turned limp as she was ovee withplete despair.
¡°Ah! Why is he like this!¡± Han Qiqing screamed when she saw the Yu Zhe, who was covered in blood.
She quickly recognized Yu Zhe and asked curiously, ¡°Xiaoxiao, isn¡¯t this the guy who sits in front of you in ss? Why is he here?¡±
Han Qiqing squatted beside Mu Xiaoxiao, scanned her, and seemed to have confirmed that she was okay.
But she still asked, ¡°Xiaoxiao, are you okay? Did that bitch, Han Xue¡¯er, do anything to you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment then shook her head and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine¡¡±
¡°Really?¡± Han Qiqing was still worried. She went to touch all over Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s body as if to physically check that she was fine before she could finally stop worrying
But when Han Qiqing touched Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s stomach, Mu Xiaoxiao gasped.
¡°Are you hurting here?¡± Han Qiqing touched her stomach worriedly.
Mu Xiaoxiao instinctively tried to avoid her touch, but she was still touched again and immediately gasped.
¡°Stop touching it¡¡±

Yin Shaojie pushed Han Qiqing away. It was only then that he let go of Mu Xiaoxiao and looked at her stomach. His brows furrowed as he asked, ¡°She kicked you?¡±
Knowing that she couldn¡¯t hide the fact anymore, Mu Xiaoxiao nodded in assent.
Even if she didn¡¯t admit this now, Yin Shaojie would have checked her entire body once they got home out of worry./updated by ReadNovelFull
Yin Shaojie gritted his teeth. His gaze was now ferociously deadly, and he clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
¡°You deserve to die, woman!¡± ( .c om )
Ye Sijue walked over and he looked at the scene with his blue eyes before saying, ¡°She deserves more than death.¡±
Yin Shaojie and Han Qiqing looked up at him.
Ye Sijue walked over to the window and pulled the deep red curtains aside, letting the bright sunlight in.
¡°Look at Xiaoxiao¡¯s face,¡± he said.
Yin Shaojie and Han Qiqing turned around to look and sucked in their breaths.
There were obvious p marks on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face. It was evident that she must have been pped really hard.
Han Qiqing stood up in fury and roared at Han Xue¡¯er, ¡°You slut! How dare you treat Xiaoxiao like this? You motherf*cker! I will kill you today, or I swear I¡¯m not Han Qiqing!¡±
She rushed towards her after her speech.
Han Xue¡¯er saw Han Qiqing¡¯s ping and tried to dodge it.
Han Qiqing was boiling mad and shouted at Song Shijun, ¡°Come over and hold her down! I must p her until her skin splits and her flesh bursts out!¡±
Song Shijun didn¡¯t want to do it. He shot a look at the policeman beside him and said, ¡°Go over and help her.¡±
The policeman dared not defy him, for he was the mayor¡¯s son!
He could only thicken his skin and hold Han Xue¡¯er down.
Han Xue¡¯er screamed loudly, ¡°Let me go! You¡¯re the police! How can you help them! Just arrest me! Hurry up and arrest me!¡±
Her heart ran cold, and she started to tremble at the thought of Young Master Jie¡¯s gaze earlier.
She would rather be arrested by the police right now!
The policemen looked at each other and chose to ignore her unanimously.
Han Qiqing smirked as she walked towards Han Xue¡¯er, contempt in her gaze.
She lifted her hand up high and let it swoop down in a heavy motion.
p¡ª¡ª!
The sound rang out, resonant.
Even Song Shijun jumped in fright. How could a p ring out so loudly? This was his first time experiencing such a thing!
The force of the blow made Han Xue¡¯er nt to one side. In mere seconds, her face reddened, and there was even blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
¡°Han Qiqing, you slu¡ª¡±
Before she could finish her insult, another pnded on her face.
p¡ª¡ª!
This time, the force of the p almost caused Han Xue¡¯er to fall to the ground.
Han Qiqing shook her hand. Her palm felt numb, for she had used up almost all her strength just now.
¡°How many times did you hit Xiaoxiao? Three times? Five times? Anyway, I don¡¯t care. I¡¯ll take it as five times, and I¡¯ll return you double what you did to Xiaoxiao!¡± ( .c om )
With that said, she threw another p at her.
After pping the right side of her face, she had to be pped on the left side to bnce things out.
If her hand didn¡¯t hurt from this, Han Qiqing would have pped her more than ten times. She really wanted to bash Han Xue¡¯er up until she looked like a pig¡¯s head!
After being hit ten times, Han Xue¡¯er felt her entire head go fuzzy.
Unable to bnce on her feet, she fell to the ground in a terrible mess.
After taking revenge for Mu Xiaoxiao, Han Qiqing dusted her hands and returned to Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s side.
She sounded as if she took all the credit for the work as she said, ¡°Is that enough? If not, I¡¯m okay with expending some more effort to p her a few more times.¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡±
The image of Han Xue¡¯er trying to crawl up but failing because she was too dizzy was already pretty good at dissipating her anger.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s abdomen twinged in pain, and she rubbed it involuntarily.
However, she identally touched the part that Han Xue¡¯er had kicked her.
Other than her first kick, Han Xue¡¯er didn¡¯t manage to kick her stomach in her subsequent kicks as she had curled up and protected it with both hands.
The pain she was experiencing now came from her period cramps.
Her abdomen had already felt ufortable, but the pain was intensified by Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s kick.
However, she didn¡¯t care about her injury. She hurriedly tugged at Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm and said to him, ¡°I¡¯m fine, don¡¯t worry about me. Hurry up and save Yu Zhe first¡¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t want to care about anyone else. Right now, she was the most important person.
¡°Let me see the injury on your abdomen first, ¡± he said, his gaze fixated on her.
¡°I¡¯m really okay¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head as she pushed his hand away.
Yin Shaojie red at her, his tone forceful as he said, ¡°I want to see your injury first! I don¡¯t care if he¡¯s dead or alive!¡±
Unable to persuade him, Mu Xiaoxiao could only pull her shirt up.
Yin Shaojie stopped her hand. ¡°Wait.¡±
He then turned around and ordered the policeman tyrannically, ¡°Turn around, all of you!¡±
The policemen looked at each other before following the order obediently.
Yin Shaojie then rxed, and pulled Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s shirt up himself, checking her injury.
Luckily, it wasn¡¯t very serious, as she had said.
Mu Xiaoxiao said helplessly, ¡°Do you finally believe me now? Hurry up and save Yu Zhe.¡±
To one side, Han Qiqing was squatting down and examining Yu Zhe lying on the ground. Puzzled, she asked, ¡°Xiaoxiao, why is the person who sits in front of you here? Is he involved in this also?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
How was she supposed to answer this question?
She swept an awkward nce across Yin Shaojie. She knew that if Yin Shaojie knew the truth, he would never save Yu Zhe.
Just then, a policeman ran in and reported, ¡°We¡¯ve arrested a few people outside. They brought tramps, and it looked like they were going to use them tomit crime.¡±
The policeman¡¯s gaze fell on Han Xue¡¯er as he spoke.
Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s face turned pale instantly. She felt fearful under Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze.
She looked at the policemen in fright. ¡°Hurry up and take me away! Hurry up!¡±
However, Yin Shaojie was already walking towards her.
Han Xue¡¯er was kicked to the floor. She groaned in pain and crawled up.
However, she looked as if she was mad as she grinned insanely and said to him, ¡°Young Master Jie, you don¡¯t hit women. I know you don¡¯t hit women!¡±
¡°Yes, I don¡¯t hit women,¡± Yin Shaojie said, but his tone was so cold it felt like frost of a thousand years.
Suddenly, Yin Shaojie snatched a gun off a policeman.
He pointed the muzzle at Han Xue¡¯er and gestured at the balcony. In a ruthless tone, he said to her, ¡°You, jump down from there yourself.¡±
Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s eyes widened in panic.
This was the third floor. Even though she might not die from jumping from here, there was still a possibility of death!
Also, even if she didn¡¯t die, who knew if she might be paralyzed from the fall?
Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s face was white. She shook her head, ¡°No¡ I don¡¯t want to¡¡±
¡°You don¡¯t want to?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s lips quirked up in a sinister smile.
Bang¡ª¡ª
A gunshot rang out, and the bullet hit Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s shin.

¡°Ah¡ª¡ª¡± Han Xue¡¯er shrieked in pain. As a rich young missy, she had been pampered and well-taken care of, and no one dared to do anything to her usually, much less inflict so much pain on her.
There was a bloody hole in her shin now, and it looked horrifying.
¡°No, no¡¡± Han Xue¡¯er cried out, her tears flowing everywhere instantly.
She fell onto the carpet and moved to the side, terrified, trying to avoid Yin Shaojie. However, Yin Shaojie¡¯s gun was locked onto her and followed her closely.
Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s cried became even more hysterical. She shouted at the police in fear, ¡°Policemen! Hurry up and save me! Can¡¯t you see that he¡¯s trying to kill me? Hurry up and save me!¡±
The policemen were also shocked by Yin Shaojie¡¯s actions, for they had never seen someone act so cruelly.
Even though they knew that Han Xue¡¯er had gone overboard, his method of fighting evil with evil was¡ horrific.
Upon hearing Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s words, the policemen looked at each other before all turning away with tacit understanding. Their backs were faced towards the scene and they pretended that they didn¡¯t exist.
Yin Shaojie took a step forward towards Han Xue¡¯er.
¡°Now, yes, or no?¡± He stressed each syble of the word, his gaze cold as frost.
Meanwhile.
Han Yun¡¯er was sitting in a car as she watched the video feed from a tablet. Her eyes widened at the unfolding scene.
She had arranged everything properly before this and ced many video cameras around so that she could enjoy the sight of Han Xue¡¯er suffering.
Even though she really wanted to view the proceedings live, she couldn¡¯t, for she was one of the aplices.
Thus, to protect herself, she could only install the video cameras and use this method to watch Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s downfall.
However, Han Yun¡¯er hadn¡¯t imagined that Yin Shaojie would use such a terrifying method to avenge Mu Xiaoxiao!
The interior of the car was warm, but Han Yun¡¯er couldn¡¯t help but tremble from the chill as she saw Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze then.
She suddenly felt very uneasy.
With Yin Shaojie like this, what would happen to her if he knew that this was her n?
Suddenly, Han Yun¡¯er didn¡¯t want to think about this anymore.
¡
In the house.
The atmosphere was chilly and cryptic. No one dared to make any noise, and the only sound that could be heard was Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s sobbing.
Yin Shaojie was obviously impatient and didn¡¯t want to give her any time to rest.
¡°Bang¡ª¡ª¡± The second bullet brushed past Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s face, and a streak of blood appeared on her cheek instantly.
Just a little more and it would have hit Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s face!
This demonstrated the uracy of Yin Shaojie¡¯s gunmanship!
Han Xue¡¯er looked like she had turned to stone. She didn¡¯t dare to move, and a coldness gush down from the top of her head. She was dazed for a while before she felt the pain from her cheek.
¡°AH¡ª¡ª¡± Han Xue¡¯er shrieked shrilly as she cupped her face. When she removed her hand, her palm and fingers were stained with blood, even though it was very littlepared to the amount of blood soaking Yu Zhe¡¯s entire body.
However, as a rich young missy, Han Xue¡¯er had never been injured like this. Moreover, she cared about her face the most and couldn¡¯t ept the fact that her face had been injured.
Nevertheless, Han Qiqing, who was standing at one side suddenly voiced out cruelly, ¡°Yin Shaojie! Why did you miss! Can¡¯t you aim more properly? Shoot at her face directly so that her flesh explodes out! Humph, let¡¯s see if she still dares to bully our Xiaoxiao after that.¡±

Our Xiaoxiao.
Our Xiaoxiao.
It was always ¡°our Xiaoxiao¡±!
Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s gaze brimmed with fanatic jealousy.
Whether it was Han Qiqing or any one of them, why did they all address Mu Xiaoxiao so intimately!
What right did Mu Xiaoxiao have! What right did she have!
Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s eyes were zing red as she wed the air with her bloody fingers and cursed Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao! Even if I die, I will be a ghost and haunt you! I hate you! I will never let you go even as a ghost!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. She didn¡¯t understand why Han Xue¡¯er hated her so much.
Was it just because Yin Shaojie liked her?
To Mu Xiaoxiao, if someone didn¡¯t like her, she would either give up or crush on the person secretly, and there was no need to do anything extreme.
The world was big, and one could still meet so many different people. Who knew if one would be able to find someone more suitable? ¨C .c om
Thus, she really didn¡¯t understand why Han Xue¡¯er would act so crazily.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked towards Yin Shaojie. Her voice sounded uneasy as she said, ¡°Jie, can we just let it go¡¡±
She didn¡¯t want him to kill anyone.
Even though other people may think that she only said this because she was afraid of Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s threat, that wasn¡¯t the case. She just didn¡¯t want to see Yin Shaojie kill someone because of her.
However, Han Qiqingined, ¡°How can you let it go like that? This slut is so malicious! Luckily, we arrived in time, or else you would have been¡ No! We cannot let her go so easily!¡±
Han Qiqing remembered what the policeman had said earlier and what the tramps could have done to Xiaoxiao.
As a girl, she was unable to fathom the consequences of that.
She shuddered in horror at the mere thought of that.
Thus, how could they let the culprit, Han Xue¡¯er, off so easily!
Absolutely not!
Yin Shaojie¡¯s gun was still pointed at Han Xue¡¯er, but he turned his head towards Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°So? She hit you on your left cheek and you still want her to hit you on your right cheek? Are you a fool?¡±
¡°Since when did I want that?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao retorted unhappily at being called an idiot.
She really hated Han Xue¡¯er and wanted revenge. She really wanted Han Xue¡¯er to get the punishment she deserved!
She felt so averse towards her that she never wanted to see her ever again!
¡°If you dont, then shut up!¡± Yin Shaojie said harshly.
Feeling aggrieved, Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. However, she could tell that Yin Shaojie was not only really angry but boiling mad.
She was unable to stop him from doing anything right now.
Thus, she gave up.
Han Xue¡¯er was originally feeling delighted that Mu Xiaoxiao was trying to save her and even thought that she was very stupid for trying to save someone who wanted to harm her. She couldn¡¯t believe that someone so stupid existed in the world.
However, upon seeing Mu Xiaoxiao back off from stopping Yin Shaojie, Han Xue¡¯er started to panic.
So?
What now!
Now? Yin Shaojie was currentlyughing coldly. His icy re returned to Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s figure and his pair of deep, dark abysmal eyes stared at her as though he was a demon from hell.
¡°Which hand did you use to hit her just now?¡±
Han Xue¡¯er shivered and looked at her right hand subconsciously.
¡°Bang¡ª¡ª¡± A gunshot took her by surprise.
Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s pupils constricted as she saw a bloody hole in the palm of her right hand. Cupping her palm, she wailed in pain, ¡°AHHH¡ª¡ª¡±
It was so painful, so painful!!- .c om

Chapter 542: After the Jump=
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°I will ask you onest time. Are you jumping or not?¡± Yin Shaojie no longer wanted to drag this out with her.
His gaze was telling her that if she didn¡¯t jump, the next bullet would enter her brain directly.
Han Xue¡¯er trembled as she shook her head. No¡ she didn¡¯t want to die!
If she was hit by the bullet, she would definitely die.
If she jumped down from here, there was a chance that she would survive.
Han Xue¡¯er felt like she had no choice anymore. She could only drag herself on her injured leg to the balcony. Leaning on it weakly, she looked down.
Three floors wasn¡¯t that high a height.
However, it felt strangely high when she looked down today.
Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s heart ran cold. She was trembling like a sieve.
No¡ She couldn¡¯t do it¡
Han Xue¡¯er was a person who was afraid of death. She was scared of being killed, much less killing her own self.
Who knew what would happen if she jumped down from here.
If she didn¡¯t die, what if she became a vegetable?
Or became paralyzed?
Or hit her head and turned into a fool?
There were so many possibilities, and it was especially now that Han Xue¡¯er could imagine more and more scary scenarios.
Every scenario was frightening to her.
To a person who was afraid of death, there was no situation scarier than this!
Han Xue¡¯er held onto the balcony¡¯s edge and slid down to the floor numbly as she shook her head and cried.
She couldn¡¯t do it. She really couldn¡¯t do it.
She was so, so scared. She didn¡¯t want to jump down; she didn¡¯t!
Suddenly, Han Xue¡¯er had an idea. She faced the handrail on the balcony and hit her head against it.
Under the shocked gaze of the crowd, Han Xue¡¯er copsed feebly onto the ground as though she had fainted. ¨C .c om
Han Qiqing shouted indignantly, ¡°She must be acting!¡±
How could someone who was so afraid of death like Han Xue¡¯er really hit her head like that?
Mu Xiaoxiao was very worried that Han Xue¡¯er would really jump.
Even though she really hated Han Xue¡¯er and wouldn¡¯t feel sorry for her death, she didn¡¯t want Yin Shaojie to kill anyone!
Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief at this result.
Afraid that Yin Shaojie would continue his actions, she shouted at him, ¡°Yin Shaojie! Hurry up ande over! Yu Zhe¡¯s about to die. Can we save him first before worrying about other things?¡±
Yin Shaojie harrumphed as he returned the gun to the policeman. ¡°Take this woman away!¡± he ordered the policemen.
The policemen looked at him respectfully and nodded a little fearfully. ¡°Yes.¡±
The squad of policemen cleared the scene swiftly and took Han Xue¡¯er and her bodyguards away.
Yin Shaojie walked towards Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head towards Yu Zhe, who was lying on the ground, and said worriedly, ¡°Hurry and call the ambnce!¡±
Yin Shaojie regarded Yu Zhe with a cold gaze as he said, ¡°He¡¯ll live.¡±
It was only his shoulder that was stabbed. Judging by the wound, none of his internal organs seemed to be hurt, and the most he would suffer from was an excessive loss of blood.
However, an excessive loss of blood could still lead to death.
He looked at Mu Xiaoxiao as he asked, ¡°Why is this fellow here?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Yin Shaojie sneered coldly. ¡°I dare you to not answer me! Do you think that I won¡¯t be able to guess the truth if you don¡¯t tell me? He¡¯s an aplice, right? Or rather¡ he lured you here, didn¡¯t he?¡±
The look on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face seemed to confirm his suspicions.
Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t imagine this, and her eyes widened in shock. ¡°How can that be? Isn¡¯t he your friend? It seemed that you had a good rtionship with him.¡±

Song Shijun walked over and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t it obvious? It¡¯s a hatred that stemmed from love! I could tell early on that this guy liked Xiaoxiao. He sits in front of Xiaoxiao and interacts with Xiaoxiao everyday; it would be weird if he didn¡¯t like her.¡±
Yu Zhe was lying on the carpet. His blood kept on flowing, causing his brain to be a little fuzzy.
Even though he couldn¡¯t move, he could still hear their conversation clearly.
In his haze, he felt a wisp of indescribable¡ happiness?
Hehe, at this moment, he didn¡¯t even think about his injury or whether he would die, but rather, he was feeling happy? If he told this to anyone, there would probably be no one who would believe him.
However, it was a fact.
In front of him were Yin Shaojie, Ye Sijue, and Han Qiqing¡ªthree out of the Big Four Families were here. The mayor¡¯s son, Song Shijun, was here too.
In Shangde, almost everyone wanted to enter their circle with a fanatic passion, as this represented the ultimate honor, and it came with many, many benefits too.
Yu Zhe was also one of these people. He had thirsted after entering their clique and wouldn¡¯t even mind if he was an assistant.
However, with his status and power, that was impossible.
Thus, he had never imagined that there would be a day where these people would remember his existence even though he knew that it was because of Xiaoxiao that he was remembered by these people.
However, this had already fulfilled his dream.
Yu Zhe couldn¡¯t help butugh.
Upon seeing a movement from him, Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedly came closer. ¡°Yu Zhe, how are you? Wait just a little more; the ambnce is arriving soon.¡±
Yu Zhe¡¯s gaze focused on her little face with difficulty.
He suddenly wanted to lift his hand up and touch her.
However, his arm seemed heavy as lead, and he couldn¡¯t lift it up.
¡°Xiaoxiao¡ I¡¯m sorry¡¡±
Also, thank you.
Yu Zhe¡¯s world darkened, and his head fell to one side.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened in shock as she called out, her voice trembling, ¡°Y-Yu Zhe? W-What¡¯s wrong¡¡±
Her tears leaped out instantly, and she was so afraid that she dared not to touch Yu Zhe.
Was he dead?
Yin Shaojie frowned as he kneeled down and felt Yu Zhe¡¯s pulse on his neck.
He tutted and said, ¡°Rx, he¡¯s only fainted because he lost too much blood. He¡¯s not dead yet.¡±
The rest looked at him. Did he sound disappointed by that?
Mu Xiaoxiao jolted. There were still tears at the corners of her eyes and she sniffed. ¡°R-Really? He¡¯s fine?¡±
Yin Shaojie said unpleasantly, ¡°I don¡¯t know if anything bad will happen to him, but he¡¯s not dead yet.¡±
It was only then that Mu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon seeing that she still had tears in the corners of her eyes, Yin Shaojie instantly became mad. ¡°Get rid of those tears right now!¡± he said, displeased.
Motherf*cking h*ll. He became very displeased upon seeing her cry for another man.
If Yu Zhe hadn¡¯t fainted, he would have absolutely beaten this fellow up for sure.
Meanwhile.
Han Yun¡¯er was at the back door of this house. Upon seeing this development, she instructed the chauffeur to leave quickly.
Han Yun¡¯er¡¯s lips curled up at the sess of her scheme as she thought of Han Xue¡¯er being taken away by the police.
This was great!
¡
Yu Zhe was hastily sent to the hospital.
Luckily, just like Yin Shaojie had said, he only lost an excessive amount of blood and didn¡¯t catch an infection.
After a blood transfusion and some treatment, Yu Zhe woke up soon after.

He opened his eyes, and the sight of the hospital¡¯s ceiling greeted him. He was dazed by the white ceiling for a while, unable to fathom where he was.
¡°Yu Zhe? How do you feel?¡±
A familiar voice rang out beside his ear.
Yu Zhe turned his head to the source of the voice and saw Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s worried face looking at him.
He nked out for a while, but his memories quickly returned.
He remembered what had happened.
¡°Xiaoxiao¡¡± He wanted to speak, but what came out of his throat was very hoarse, and he felt an intense thirst.
The nurse near them said, ¡°Even though the patient has already woken up, he has lost a lot of blood. He needs a bit of water to moisten his throat and lips to speak properly.
¡°Oh, oh, okay!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao poured out a ss of water in a hurry.
Just then, Yin Shaojie walked in. Upon seeing this scene, he stopped her swiftly. ¡°Why are you pouring the water? You, pour the water and feed it to him!¡± hemanded the nurse.
/ . / The nurse bowed hastily and said, ¡°Yes.¡±
Yin Shaojie tugged on Mu Xiaoxiao and pulled her to his side, frowning at her. ¡°Why are you being so nice to this fellow who betrayed you? It¡¯s already good enough that he hasn¡¯t died.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned too. ¡°Don¡¯t say that! Yu Zhe saved me too.¡±
Yin Shaojie snorted coldly. ¡°He saved you? Does he think that that will make up for everything else?¡±
¡°But¡ I feel that he has his own difficulties. Can¡¯t you let me ask him about it first?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked him earnestly.
Yin Shaojie spat uncaringly, ¡°I don¡¯t care!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him. ¡°But I want to know!¡±
Yin Shaojie replied tyrannically, ¡°You don¡¯t have to know either!¡±
Given her personality, if that fellow had really been put in a spot, he knew that Mu Xiaoxiao would definitely forgive him.
Humph! A traitor should never be forgiven!
Mu Xiaoxiao quietened down. She looked at him with herrge eyes and said, ¡°I just want to know.¡±
She also didn¡¯t know if she would be able to forgive Yu Zhe.
Either way, she still wanted to know why Yu Zhe wanted to betray her.
He must have had his own difficulties.
If not, why would he put his life on the line to save her in the end?
¡°I really don¡¯t know what to do with you.¡± Yin Shaojie sighed and pinched her cheek.
He sent the nurse away upon seeing that she was done feeding Yu Zhe.
Mu Xiaoxiao nudged him. ¡°You should go out too.¡±
Yin Shaojie shot a nce at her. ¡°Why should I go out? I want to listen too.¡±
Helpless, Mu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to allow him to stay.
She pulled a chair over and sat by the bed. Looking at Yu Zhe as hey on the bed, she asked concernedly, ¡°How are you feeling right now?¡±
Yin Shaojie kicked the leg of her chair. ¡°Get to the point!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao cast a sideways look at him.
Yu Zhe slowly regained his consciousness and recalled all that had happened before. Frankly speaking, his life had been spared by Yin Shaojie, and if Yin Shaojie hadn¡¯t arrived in time, he would have died of blood loss.
He looked at Xiaoxiao quietly, and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°Xiaoxiao¡ I¡¯m sorry.¡±
His first words were still full of apology.
/ . / Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him fixedly. ¡°I ept your apology.¡±
He did owe an apology to her.
Yu Zhe pursed his lower lip before continuing, ¡°I¡ won¡¯t try to deny my wrongdoing. I really did betray you.¡±

He seemed to recall something, and the corner of his lips curled up in self-mockery.
¡°The picture of you and Lu Yichen was posted onto the school forum and pasted onto the bulletin boards by me. At that time¡ I was blinded by jealousy.¡±
At that time, his only thought was to destroy the rtionship between Yin Shaojie and her so that they wouldn¡¯t hang out together anymore.
However, he was unaware of how intimate their rtionship was, and he hadn¡¯t known that it was something that couldn¡¯t be town apart by his weak schemes.
¡°Yu Zhe¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s gaze on him wasplicated.
She remembered something Han Xue¡¯er had said. Yu Zhe¡ liked her?
However, could liking someone cause them to hurt the person?
How was he different from Han Xue¡¯er?
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiao felt as though she had never understood Yu Zhe.
She had thought he treated her as a friend.
At least, she had thought of him as a friend.
Nearby, Yin Shaojie furrowed his brows. He went straight to the point and asked, ¡°Have you been stalking Xiaoxiao? If not, how did you get so many pictures of her?¡±
In that house, the policemen had found photos of him and him and Xiaoxiao together.
He had also noticed that many of the photos were taken in their condominium.
Logically speaking, Yu Zhe couldn¡¯t have known where his condominium was, right?
Yu Zhe was silent for a moment before lifting his head. He looked at them, his gazeplicated, as he said, ¡°Actually, those photos were given to me by someone. You may not believe me though¡¡±
Anyone would think that he was saying this to push the me off himself.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°I believe you. Tell me then, who gave the pictures to you?¡±
Yu Zhe looked at her, stunned. He stammered, ¡°You¡ really believe me?¡±
He had betrayed her before.
He might even tell her that he was in a difficult position to soften her heart.
Had she not thought about this before?
Mu Xiaoxiao looked into his eyes and said earnestly, ¡°Because I believe your words.¡±
Because I believe that you aren¡¯t this evil.
Yu Zhe¡¯s heart was shocked. His gaze was fixed on her, and his pupils wavered with a well of feelings.
Yin Shaojie was very displeased by their disy and said, spoiling the moment, ¡°She believes you, but I still don¡¯t. Get on with it; who gave the photos to you?¡±
Yu Zhe paused before he shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t know¡ he only gave them to me, but he has never revealed his face before.¡±
Yin Shaojie ced both his hands on his hips and interrogated, ¡°What about afterwards then? Why did you help Han Xue¡¯er? Did you approach her to kidnap Xiaoxiao?¡±
¡°No, it was that person who gave me the photograph. He contacted Han Xue¡¯er and me. This n was arranged by that person, so to put it bluntly, Han Xue¡¯er and I were only pawns in the n.¡±
Then, Yu Zhe exined his actions.
Actually, he didn¡¯t want to do this, but the person somehow knew about his family¡¯s situation. He had needed a lot of money, and if not, his father wouldn¡¯t be able to fill the hole in their funds. They would then be cast out by their family, and their family of three would be chased out of the Yu family.
Yin Shaojie pinched his eyebrows. ¡°So how much did the person promise you? How much money?¡±
Yu Zhe paused before he answered, ¡°50 million¡¡±
Yin Shaojie chuckled coldly, ¡°50 million is a lot of money. That person asked you to do just that one thing for so much money?¡±

Chapter 546: Your Betrayal, Bought For A Million Yuan
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Yu Zhe looked like he had been punched. His expression looked bad as though he had been humiliated.
After being lectured by Yin Shaojie, he thought carefully about it and felt that this was a little ridiculous. 50 million was arge sum. Would the person really honor his promise and pay the money after he had done his part?
However, what if the person didn¡¯t pay up?
Suddenly, Yu Zhe felt a flush of terror entering his heart!
He looked at Mu Xiaoxiao in shock as shivers went through his body and his heart ran cold.
Luckily, she was fine¡
If anything had happened to her, he didn¡¯t dare to imagine the consequences.
However¡
Yu Zhe lowered his head and descended into silence. His eyes held an undispeble shadow and pain.
However, if he didn¡¯t have that sum of money, his mom and dad would be chased out of the Yus¡
He clenched both his fists, which were lying by his side.
However, what if he could really get that sum of money?
If someone had asked him if he regretted his actions¡ If he had regretted saving Xiaoxiao¡ If he hadn¡¯t saved Xiaoxiao, would the n have seeded? The original n of the mysterious person was only to torture Xiaoxiao.
He wouldn¡¯t regret it.
Yin Shaojie released his hands and came back to his senses. He said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°That person gave me an advance of one million. Even though it¡¯s only a drop in a bucket, I was¡ indeed taken in by him.¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at him in disdain. ¡°One million? One million to take you in? A mere one million could buy your betrayal? That¡¯s cheap!¡±
If he had known earlier, he would have given this guy a million to stay away from Xiaoxiao!
Yu Zhe¡¯s head hung lower and lower, consumed by shame.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of a chair scraping against the floor.
Yu Zhe knew that Mu Xiaoxiao had stood up. He was a little nervous, and even though he felt like he had no face to look at her, he still lifted his head and looked at her in anticipation.
Would she¡ forgive him?
Even though he didn¡¯t dare to expect her forgive him, since he did betray her, but¡
Yu Zhe knew that he was really shameless, but his heart still hoped that she could forgive him.
¡°Xiaoxiao¡¡± He looked at her and called out.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him. Her face was calm as she said, ¡°Thank you for telling me this. I got the answers I wanted.¡±
I know why you betrayed me now.
However¡
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s gaze was a little cold as she said, ¡°However, this doesn¡¯t mean that I will forgive you. I will never forgive you, ever.¡±
Because betrayal could never be forgiven.
The stone had been set the moment he chose to betray her.
I can understand your difficulties, but I apologize for not being able to ept your betrayal.
Upon hearing her words, Yu Zhe¡¯s expression became stiff, and there was an unspeakable sorrow in his eyes.
She said¡ that she would never be able to forgive him.
Mu Xiaoxiao inhaled deeply and lifted her head as thought she didn¡¯t want to reveal her feelings on her face. She said, ¡°Take care of your wounds. I¡¯m leaving.¡±
After that, she left the room with lingering words of concern.
Even though Yin Shaojie still had some things that he wanted to interrogate him on, he was a little worried about Mu Xiaoxiao. Thus, he only shot a cold re at Yin Shaojie and followed her out hastily.
Yu Zhe was left alone on the bed, in the empty room.
He felt really¡ fearful, as though he had lost something important.
Yu Zhe blinked and looked around, unable to control his emotions and the tears in his eyes.
Tears slid down his face.

On the way home, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t say a word, only staring out of the car silently.
Once they reached the condominium, she didn¡¯t throw herself onto the sofa as usual but walked to the room, closed the door, set herself down on the bed, and hugged a pillow to herself.
Yin Shaojie opened the door and walked in, and he heard the sound of muffled crying.
He looked unhappy as he walked to the bed, reached out a hand, and pulled her up. He stared at her wet little face and said, displeased, ¡°I already told you that I don¡¯t like seeing you cry over another man.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao sobbed as she leapt forward to hug his neck.
¡°Jie¡ boohoo¡¡±
Even though she knew and understood that Yu Zhe¡¯s betrayal arose out of his difficult circumstances, she still felt really, really sad.
Yin Shaojie hugged her head tightly and sighed. ¡°I already told you to not get too close to such people. Why didn¡¯t you listen?¡±
Yu Zhe hadn¡¯t known her real identity, but once he did, their friendship would change.
It was only a matter of time.
Mu Xiaoxiao only continued to cry, ignoring his question.
Yin Shaojie knew that she was upset and let her cry a little so that she wouldn¡¯t bottle it up.
However, a few minutes had passed¡
Yet, this girl had no intention of stopping.
Yin Shaojie frowned. The saying that ¡°women were made of water¡± was really true, it seemed.
He lifted his head helplessly and stared into her eyes with his inky ck ones. ¡°Are you done crying? You can cry for a while, but why are you crying so much for him?¡±
¡°i¡¯m not crying for him¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s voice was husky as she retorted.
She was crying for herself and her betrayal by a friend.
A helpless Yin Shaojie observed her tears, gushing as though they had no intention of stopping.
¡°It looks like we have to do something to distract you then.¡±
It was the only way to make her stop thinking about the betrayal and stop crying.
¡°What thing?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him, puzzled.
Yin Shaojie cupped her little face with his two hands instead. His handsome face got closer, the suggestive aura sting right in her face.
¡°For example, something that we both like to do.¡±
Something that we like to do?
What was it?
Before Mu Xiaoxiao could react, the gorgeous face in front of her face magnified, and her lips were taken into his.
She was shocked but didn¡¯t push him away.
She closed her eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s body jolted as though she was shocked by electricity.
Even though she had been kissed many times already, she still felt¡ an indescribable tingling sensation sparking through her heart.
At first, Mu Xiaoxiao enjoyed the kiss, but she was unable to hold up soon after from his passionate kisses.
Yin Shaojie only released Mu Xiaoxiao after she was almost unable to breathe.
He pressed her onto the bed. His pair of soft lips didn¡¯t stop but continued to kiss her chin, and he made his way down to her neck.
Mu Xiaoxiao was breathing hard, and her chest was heaving heavily.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s hot kissesnded on the fair skin on her chest, kissing her delicate corbone.

He seemed like he wanted to leave his mark on her.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a ticklish pain. Frowning uncontrobly, she looked down at his head.
She said, displeased, ¡°What are you doing?¡±
Yin Shaojie was nting hickeys on her chest and sucked really hard to create a fresh one.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face reddened and noticed that there was a hickey appearing right in the middle of her chest.
¡°You¡ How am I supposed to go out like this now!¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s dark gaze became serious as his husky voice said, ¡°Then don¡¯t go out anymore. Do you know what I¡¯m thinking about right now?¡±
¡°What?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao thought that his gaze looked weird and couldn¡¯t help but answer.
¡°I¡¯m thinking of¡¡± Yin Shaojie said in a low voice as he kissed her intermittently, ¡°Shutting you in a room and forbidding you to go out so that you will nevere across danger again.¡±
I won¡¯t have to worry and fear for you again.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s heart was still clenched from thinking about the previous panic and fear he felt.
He really wished that he could put her in his pocket and bring her around every day so that she would never be out of his sight.
Mu Xiaoxiao had never imagined that he would say this. It sounded no different from love talk.
However, she could hear the tremor in his voice.
This made her heart ache.
She knew that he must have been searching for her in a state of panic when she had disappeared.
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her arms and hugged his head tight.
¡°I¡¯m sorry that I made you worry again, I¡¯m sorry¡¡±
Yin Shaojie pulled her hands off and leaned forward, nting a gentle kiss on her lips.
¡°Fool, why are you apologizing? It wasn¡¯t your fault.¡±
The person at fault was actually him. He shouldn¡¯t have left her alone at home.
He had read on the inte that girls may be moody on their periods and would feel bored and frustrated alone at home, having wild thoughts.
That¡¯s why she wanted to look for Han Qiqing to y, right?
But who could have thought that she would have been betrayed by a friend, even with the utmost caution? This was something that she could never guard against.
This time, the person who was injured was her, and he didn¡¯t have the heart to hear her take the me.
Mu Xiaoxiao cupped his handsome face and shook her head, her tears falling again.
Her voice was choked as she said, ¡°No¡ I¡¯m also sorry for some other things. You almost¡ killed someone because of me.¡±
Even though Han Xue¡¯er might not have died from jumping from a three story building, she still felt a lingering trepidation.
She was really d that Han Xue¡¯er hadn¡¯t jumped.
It was not that she had a good heart and thought that that would be too cruel.
Han Xue¡¯er was so evil that she wouldn¡¯t feel any pity for her however she died.
However¡
Mu Xiaoxiao fixed her gaze onto Yin Shaojie, her eyes brimming with tears as she said, ¡°Jie, next time¡ no matter what happens, you have to promise me not to kill anyone, okay?¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned. ¡°You¡¯re too kind and softhearted. She deserved to die.¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s not like that. Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and exined agitatedly, ¡°I¡¯m not softhearted! I just¡ don¡¯t want blood on your hands!¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s dark pupils wavered.
Mu Xiaoxiao cried as she said, ¡°I don¡¯t want you to kill anyone¡ It¡¯s scary¡ I don¡¯t want you to do it¡¡±
Killing someone was easier said than done. However, after killing a person, anyone would feel uneasy and terrified.
She didn¡¯t care for Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s words at all, but she didn¡¯t want Yin Shaojie¡¯s hands to be stained with blood.

Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes suddenly felt wet, and they reddened slowly. He tried to hold back his emotions, and he reached out to cup Xiaoxiao¡¯s face in his hands.
His voice trembled a little as he said, ¡°You idiot¡¡±
With misty eyes, Xiaoxiao looked at him and said, ¡°Promise me, okay?¡±
Yin Shaojie stared into her eyes and sighed. He felt a little helpless and put on the spot.
¡°Foolish girl. Rx, I won¡¯t kill recklessly because I don¡¯t like to kill people as well.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t hear the underlying implication in his words, but she said stubbornly, ¡°Don¡¯t ever kill anyone, even if it¡¯s for me! Okay?¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t want to continue this discussion with her, for he couldn¡¯t promise her anything. Who knew what would happen in the future? What if someone else hurt her again? How could he make such a promise to her then?
He wasn¡¯t afraid of getting blood on his hands.
Right now, there was only one thing he was afraid of¡ªlosing her.
¡°Shh, let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. All of this isn¡¯t important, and the only important thing is this¡¡± With that, Yin Shaojie took her mouth in his so that she couldn¡¯t continue this conversation anymore.
¡°Ungh uh¡¡± A little displeased, Mu Xiaoxiao hit his shoulder, trying to get him to let go of her.
Yin Shaojie ignored her and sucked on her lips tightly, causing her to emit adorable moaning noises.
Her hands, which were roving around his body, were captured by him and pulled towards his chest. He then slid them under his shirt so that she could feel his body.
Mu Xiaoxiao froze for a second. She could feel his muscles and steadily beating heart under her palms.
This, in addition to the passionate kissing, caused her to lose her mind for a while.
Yin Shaojie liked to observe her when she looked spellbound.
This was something exclusive to him; he was the only one who got to see this.
The pair¡¯s bodies were entwined on the bed, and the temperature in the room seemed to rise with their passion.
¡
Grand Luxury Hotel.
After finding Mu Xiaoxiao, Ye Sijue was supposed to return to the Ye residence. However, he curiously headed back to the hotel.
He went to the presidential suite to see if that little girl had woken.
To his surprise, the bed was empty.
Ye Sijue frowned, and his blue eyes scanned the entire room before he saw the bathrobe on the floor. The dress beside it was gone too.
This meant that that little girl had woken up and left already.
He didn¡¯t know why, but he felt a little unhappy at that.
He had already predicted that this would happen¡ªhow could she stay here after encountering such a thing? She must have hurried home.
Ye Sijue sighed.
He didn¡¯t know what hade over him and why he hade back here.
Ye Sijue walked out of the room and closed the door.
Meanwhile, in the restaurant of the hotel¡¯s second floor, Mo Xiaomeng was tucking in to a great number of delicacies. Once she was full, she raised her hand to pay.
A waitress walked over. Her eyes held a little jealousy as she took a nce at Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s beauty, but she maintained a smile on her face as she said, ¡°Miss, that¡¯s a total of 288 yuan.¡±
¡°Okay,¡± Mo Xiaomeng replied. She reached to her side before noticing that she had lost her bag earlier.
Worse still, she had no money on her at all!
Mo Xiaomeng looked a little awkward as she put on an act of searching her dress for money. However, there were no pockets on her dress at all, so there was no chance of any money there.
She had been so hungry that she had left the room only thinking of satisfying her hunger ASAP, so she had forgotten that she had no money on her.

The smile vanished from the waitress¡¯ face instantly. Her tone turned sour as she looked displeased and said, ¡°Miss, do you have enough money to pay? If not, you can ask your friend to help you settle the bill.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t have any¡¡± She didn¡¯t have anything on her, not even her phone.
Her little face looked worried. What should she do?
The waitress¡¯ expression frosted over. ¡°So were you nning to dine and dash?¡±
¡°That, I¡¡±
Mo Xiaomeng was about to say that she was staying in this hotel, but to her surprise, the waitress suddenly shouted to someone, ¡°Manager, someone over here was nning to dine and dash!¡±
The other diner¡¯s gazes turned towards her instantly.
Mo Xiaomeng felt so distressed!
Suddenly, she turned so anxious that she didn¡¯t know what to do anymore. She hurriedly exined, ¡°I wasn¡¯t nning to dine and dash; I merely have no money on me!¡±
The waitress chuckled coldly. ¡°Isn¡¯t having no money to pay a sign of dining and dashing?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng froze.
Eh?
That sounded right!
Wasn¡¯t it a dine and dash if she ate but didn¡¯t pay up?
She was unable to rebut this, and she stood there on the spot, stunned.
The manager brought a few people over swiftly. They stood around Mo Xiaomeng, surrounding her petite figure.
Under the circumstances, Mo Xiaomeng felt like she was being judged and was flooded by an oppressive feeling.
The male waiters were shocked by Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s beauty, and their fierce demeanor softened instantly.
The manager, whose expression had been icy, changed instantly when he saw Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s face. He smiled as he asked, ¡°Miss, is there a problem? Why were you trying to dine and dash?¡±
¡°I wasn¡¯t deliberately trying to dine and dash; my bag was stolen¡¡± Mo Xiaomeng exined, drooping her head.
She had never encountered such a situation before and didn¡¯t know what to do, and she could only look around her helplessly.
The manager said, ¡°Miss, if you really¡¡±
Just then, a man walked over and interrupted the manager. He looked towards Mo Xiaomeng and said, ¡°She¡¯s my girlfriend. Let me help her foot the bill.¡±
The grabbed the bill over as he spoke, and seeing the amount on it, pulled out threerge notes from his wallet and gave it to the waitress.
The waitress had not expected anyone to step forward to help her and looked a little annoyed.
Even though the manager looked a little reluctant, he still told the man, ¡°Thank you, sir.¡±
Suddenly, the man looped an arm over Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s shoulders and smiled. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng felt a little ufortable and tried to get out of his grasp. ¡°About that¡ thank you for your help. However, can you please let go of me? I¡¯m not used to being so close with male strangers¡¡±
The man smiled and said, ¡°What nonsense are you sprouting? I¡¯m your boyfriend, how can I be a stranger?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s eyes widened. She asked, puzzled, ¡°Boyfriend? You¡¯re not my boyfriend!¡±
She thought that he had only pretended that she was his girlfriend so as to get her out of her difficult situation.
However, it turned out that he had an ulterior motive?
¡°Alright baby, stop being angry; can we make up and stop fighting?¡± the man cajoled and moved over as if he was going to kiss Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s face.
Mo Xiaomeng jumped in fright and used her arms to distance herself from him. She raised her voice as she said, ¡°What are you doing? I don¡¯t know you!¡±
¡°Baby, can you stop your nonsense?¡± the man said on purpose.

Upon seeing how she was about to escape after getting out of his grasp, he reached out and clutched her hand.
¡°Dear, I know that it¡¯s my fault. I shouldn¡¯t have forgotten that it was your birthday. Can we go back to our room to celebrate? Please don¡¯t be angry with me anymore.¡±
The man said this with much feeling, and the crowd believed him.
Mo Xiaomeng was astonished. She looked at his acting in shock, a little stunned.
If she was a passerby, she would likely have believed this man¡¯s words.
She returned to her senses and shook her hand off from his grasp hurriedly. ¡°Y-You, let go! Let go of me! Help, I¡¯m not his girlfriend, I¡¯m really not his girlfriend!¡± she eximed.
Mo Xiaomeng started to panic. She was smart enough to realize that she was in danger. This man was about to kidnap her! Such situations weremonly reported in American news!
The man was still cajoling her. ¡°Dear, can you stop this? You¡¯ll make me very sad.¡±
He tried to force her into his embrace as he said this.
¡°I REALLY DON¡¯T KNOW YOU!¡± Mo Xiaomeng roared at him. She was about to break down in panic.
By this time, she had already been dragged to the door of the restaurant by him.
However, the people in the restaurant didn¡¯t seem like they were going to step forward to help her. They only looked on as though they were witnessing a couple¡¯s fight.
Mo Xiaomeng continued to scream helplessly, ¡°HELP! I REALLY DON¡¯T KNOW HIM! I¡¯M REALLY NOT HIS GIRLFRIEND!¡±
¡°Be good; we¡¯ll talk slowly after we return to our room, okay? Stop shouting; there are a lot of people here.¡±
The man continued to speak. He was now about to drag her out of the door, where there was an elevator. Once he brought her into the elevator, there would be no one to save her anymore.
Mo Xiaomeng was in such a panic that her tears had fallen out of her eyes.
Suddenly, as the man was dragging her, he bumped onto an iing person.
¡°You¡¯re here?¡± A cool, maic voice rang out.
Mo Xiaomeng froze. Finding the voice familiar, she lifted her gaze and met Ye Sijue¡¯s eyes.
She looked as though she had found a saviour and her eyes widened in delight. She shouted at him, ¡°Please save me! I don¡¯t know him, but he wants to kidnap me! Please save me!¡±
The man thought that Ye Sijue was a busybody, and his expression turned cold. ¡°She¡¯s my girlfriend! No one has the right to interfere with our business!¡±
However, when the man turned his head and saw and felt Ye Sijue¡¯s impressive stature and aura, he froze.
Anyone who had sense could tell that this cool and handsome guy was not someone to be trifled with.
As a patron of this five-star hotel, this man was, of course, someone who could read situations.
However¡
The man was hesitant. He looked at Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s beautiful face. Meeting such a beauty was a rare opportunity!
He still wanted to push his luck. He had observed that Mo Xiaomeng didn¡¯t seem very close to Ye Sijue from her interaction with him.
Thus, the man summoned his courage, and puffing out his chest, said to Ye Sijue, ¡°This is between me and my girlfriend, and it¡¯s none of your business! You¡¯d better not stick your nose in!¡±
Ye Sijue¡¯s gorgeous phoenix eyes took in Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s helpless face, and he smirked. ¡°Your girlfriend? Do you have evidence to prove that she¡¯s your girlfriend?¡±
He reached out suddenly as he said that. Mysteriously, the man only felt his hand go limp and realized that the little beauty had disappeared from his ws.

Mo Xiaomeng was pulled to Ye Sijue¡¯s side.
She seemed to have found a sense of safety and grabbed onto Ye Sijue¡¯s arm with her hands.
The man roared at Mo Xiaomeng angrily, ¡°Even if you¡¯re angry at me, you shouldn¡¯t take it out on me using another man! Do you know how much you¡¯re hurting me?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng was stunned. Why was this man still acting? Was he addicted to acting?
A seed of suspicion was nted in her heart.
Could this person be an actor? How else would he act so well?
Ye Sijue looked down at the man as his thin, sexy lips said, ¡°Excuse me, you¡¯ve gotten the wrong person. She¡¯s my girlfriend, not yours!¡±
The man was shocked, and he looked as though he was a dog whose tail had been stepped on as he stomped on his feet and said, ¡°What right do you have to im that my girlfriend is yours! Alright, very well, tell me, what evidence do you have to prove that she¡¯s your girlfriend!¡±
He parroted Ye Sijue¡¯s words back at him.
¡°Evidence?¡± Ye Sijue¡¯s blue eyes narrowed. He looked down towards Mo Xiaomeng.
Mo Xiaomeng blinked her pair of attractiverge eyes. She was curious: How was he going to prove it?
Suddenly, Ye Sijue¡¯s long, slender fingers cupped her chin and lifted it up in one swift motion.
He then lowered his handsome face and nted a kiss on her little lips.
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s eyes widened in surprise, and she could only stare, stunned at his handsome face, which was magnified in her field of vision.
From this distance, she felt that he was deathly good-looking!
Because of this scene, the entire restaurant fell silent. Almost everyone was looking over, and they were all shocked.
The sight of a handsome boy and a beautiful girl kissing was obviously a feast for the eyes!
The crowd looked over at the other man. He looked like a nondescript person ¡ª how could he be worthy of such a delicate and alluring beauty!
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s face reddened in an instant. When she came back to her senses, she pushed Ye Sijue away.
¡°Why did you have to kiss me like that!¡± Her little face was ming red, and she looked ashamed as she pped Ye Sijue¡¯s chest
To the crowd, this looked like the perfect example of flirting between a young couple.
Ye Sijue hooked an arm around her waist and turned to look at the man. Cocking his eyebrows, he said, ¡°What other evidence do you need?¡±
Upon hearing the muted discussion of the crowd, the man knew that all hope was lost, and he slinked away despondently.
Ye Sijue looked down towards Mo Xiaomeng and guided her out. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±
Perhaps it was because he had saved her, or perhaps her senses hadn¡¯t returned from the kiss, but she followed him in a daze.
They arrived back at the penthouse presidential suite.
Ye Sijue closed the door and kabedonned her suddenly. He leaned his face towards her and narrowed his mesmerizing phoenix eyes as he looked at her and said, ¡°Why did you follow me so obediently? Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll do something to you?¡±
This little thing had no sense of danger!
No wonder she had almost been kidnapped by that man.
Mo Xiaomeng beamed brightly. ¡°I know you won¡¯t.¡±
If he wanted to, he would have done something to herst night and not have waited till now to do it.
Mo Xiaomeng was not as stupid as she looked. She knew how to analyze the situation and definitely hadn¡¯t followed him just because he was handsome.
¡°Are you really sure?¡± Ye Sijue lowered his voice and injected a little suggestiveness into it.
He drew his handsome face nearer so that it was mere centimeters away from hers.
The pair¡¯s breaths seemed to blend together in that small space, and they were so close that they could feel each other¡¯s breathing.

Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s face was a little warm as she thought about the earlier kiss. She stammered, ¡°That¡ You¡¯re a good guy; didn¡¯t you save mest night? Of course I shouldn¡¯t be suspicious of you, right?¡±
Even though she said this, she tried to move her face to the side discreetly so as to get out of the suggestive atmosphere.
She couldn¡¯t take it anymore.
Her heartbeat felt very fast as though it was about to jump out from her throat.
She was feeling too bashful.
This was because she had never felt this way before.
Up till now, she had never been so¡ close to a man in such a suggestive position before.
¡°Last night?¡± Ye Sijue seemed to smirk subtly.
His pair of stunning blue eyes narrowed, and he couldn¡¯t help but think about the gorgeous sight that he had seen the night before.
Her beautiful body had been disyed before him so charmingly, her skin fair and soft and her figure exquisite.
She had a tiny waist, and her skin was as smooth as butter¡
Also, her eyes seemed to have a constant innocent glow, and it made one feel uncontrobly possessive of her.
It was like what those bosses had said. Ye Sijue rarely flirted with girls, so he hadn¡¯t felt that way with girls before.
Strangely, Ye Sijue felt a different feeling when faced with this little thing right in front of him.
She seemed to be able to¡ move his heart?
Ye Sijue suddenly felt like testing something.
In one swift motion, he took her chin with his slender fingers and forced her to look at him.
After that, he leaned forward and touched his forehead to hers.
The pair¡¯s eyes, nose, and lips were parallel to one another¡
Mo Xiaomeng was shocked by this sudden movement and could only looked into his eyes, stunned.
The pair¡¯s breaths mingled together¡
Mo Xiaomeng looked down involuntarily, and her gazended on his alluring, sexy lips. They made her think of something, and her cheeks bloomed pink.
¡°W-What are you doing¡¡± she asked shyly.
Ye Sijue realized that he liked the sound of her voice. It was clear and sweet, and it was even soft when she was shy. It made him feel good just listening to it.
Her cute and innocent look made one want to bully her.
Men were inherently sinister, and Ye Sijue was an exception to the point that one could say that he was devilish.
Suddenly, he said in a low voice, ¡°Actually, you were wrong.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng was a little stunned. ¡°Ah? What was I wrong about?¡±
That¡ Could he not lean so close?
Couldn¡¯t they sit down first if they wanted to talk?
This posture was too intimate.
Mo Xiaomeng felt really bashful.
Even though there was still a little gap between the pair¡¯s lips, it was going to shorten if they spoke at such a distance.
She didn¡¯t know if she was feeling confused by the heat of his body or jolted by his bass vocals.
Not only was Mo Xiaomeng blushing madly and her heart thumping wildly, her tongue also felt mysteriously dry.
Her gaze involuntarily fell onto his lips again.
Ye Sijue¡¯s muscr arms circled her slender waist before his mesmerizing voice rang out, ¡°You¡¯re wrong; I¡¯m not a good person.¡±
Even though he did save herst night, he had taken advantage of her before doing so.
Mo Xiaomeng was stunned and confused. ¡°Ah? Why do you say that?¡±
¡°Because¡ I did something bad to youst night,¡± he said as his fingers caressed her waist gently.
Mo Xiaomeng felt a jolt to her heart, and it was as though there was something banging around inside.

She blushed as she asked, ¡°Then¡ What bad things did you do to me?¡±
She had absolutely no recollection of what had happenedst night. She could only remember a few hazy impressions, but she couldn¡¯t piece them together.
Mo Xiaomeng was a person who didn¡¯t like to think too deeply. Since she was fine, she had thrown the events ofst nights to the back of her mind.
Ye Sijue gazed into her beautiful jewel-like eyes and said in a maic voice, ¡°Let me reenact it for you then?¡±
With that said, he suddenly took her up by her waist.
Mo Xiaomeng got a big shock and circled her arms around his neck subconsciously. She stammered, ¡°W-What are you trying to do?¡±
Ye Sijue¡¯s long legs only traveled a few steps before reaching the bed, and he ced her onto it.
¡°Hey!¡± Mo Xiaomeng tried to get up hastily.
However, Ye Sijue¡¯s impressive frame was already pressing down on her. She could onlyy t on the bed and look at him withrge, helpless eyes.
¡°W-What are you reenacting?¡± Due to their intimate postures, the only thing that entered her nose as she breathed was his masculine aura, which caused Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s heart to pump wildly.
The man in front of her practically seemed like a demon, and a single nce from him could make anyone fall for his charms.
He was like a deadly opium poppy.
¡°Yesterday, I did this to you¡¡± Ye Sijue lowered his voice on purpose. He sounded sinister as he narrowed his eyes and moved his gaze downwards.
He hadn¡¯t touched her at all, but Mo Xiaomeng felt as if his gaze was an invisible hand touching her body as he moved.
¡°W-What did you do to me exactly?¡± Mo Xiaomeng tried to hold in her bashfulness as she asked.
She had checked over her body but hadn¡¯t found anything off.
So¡ He probably hadn¡¯t done anything immoral with her, right?
Ye Sijue couldn¡¯t help but smile at her adorkable expression.
This little thing¡¯s reactions were so cute, just as he had expected!
¡°I did this.¡± His slender fingers held her chin as he spoke, and his gorgeous lips pressed down onto hers.
When the soft lips touched her own, Mo Xiaomeng froze for a second before realizing that there was a mysterious warmth in her heart.
The pairs lips ground together. It felt a little ticklish, but there was also an indescribablefortableness.
Ye Sijue applied a little pressure with his fingers and forced her mouth opened.
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s body jolted, and she tried to push his chest away in panic and shyness.
¡°No¡ª¡ª¡±
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s face was ming red now.
T-This was too much¡
The touching of their lips felt pure, which made her feel moved andfortable.
But French kissing¡
She couldn¡¯t take it, and she felt as though her heart was about to explode from beating so fast.
A-Also¡ Weren¡¯t they freshly acquainted? Weren¡¯t they not close to each other?
How could he do such intimate things with her repeatedly?
This was something that only couples should do!
Mo Xiaomeng became a little angry at the thought of this and stared at him huffily. ¡°Can you stop doing this to me! I-I don¡¯t like it¡¡±
However, she didn¡¯t seem threatening because of her blushing face.
Ye Sijue frowned and said a little displeased, ¡°You don¡¯t like it?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng felt his frosty aura and corrected hurriedly, ¡°I-It¡¯s something I¡¯m not familiar with¡ I¡¯ve never done this with anyone before¡¡±

Ye Sijue looked pleased at her reply.
This meant that this little thing hadn¡¯t been touched by any other person and that he was her first man.
This thought made him feel abnormally ted.
Ye Sijue looked towards her anxious little face. He reached out and caressed her cheek with his slender fingers. It felt soft and smooth under his touch.
¡°I was kidding with you. Alright, get up.¡±
He moved hisrge frame away and extended a hand to pull her up as well.
¡°Ah? Kidding?¡± Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s reflexes weregging because of his kiss.
Ye Sijue said, ¡°You can rx. I only kissed you and did nothing else.¡±
He really wanted to continue bullying her because her reactions were so interesting.
Mo Xiaomeng got off from the bed hurriedly as she muttered, ¡°That was my first kiss¡¡±
So, it turned out that he had already kissed her the night before.
That was her first kiss, but she has absolutely no impression of it.
With that thought, Mo Xiaomeng looked disappointed because she had always hoped for a romantic first kiss.
She had never imagined that not only would it be unromantic, but worse still, that she would have no memory of it at all!
¡°What did you say?¡± Ye Sijue seemed to have heard her mutter something but couldn¡¯t hear it clearly. However, he saw her puff out her cheeks and guessed that she was angry about something.
Mo Xiaomeng shook her head and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±
Ye Sijue shot a nce at her and asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you return home after leaving this room? Why did you go to the restaurant to eat instead?¡±
¡°Because I was hungry, and also I¡¡±
Mo Xiaomeng had wanted to tell him that she was staying in this hotel too, but she stopped as she seemed to recall something.
¡°And what?¡± Ye Sijue didn¡¯t like it when she didn¡¯tplete her sentences.
¡°Nothing. I wanted to return after eating at the restaurant, but I¡¯d forgotten that my bag had been stolen,¡± Mo Xiaomeng said gloomily. She thought about how much she liked that bag and felt a little sad that it had been stolen just like that.
Suddenly, her eyes widened. ¡°Ah! My credentials! And my wallet is in there too!¡±
It was only then that she reacted to the situation properly, and her face instantly drooped.
¡°What do I do? My card¡¯s in there too! Everything¡¯s inside!¡±
Ye Sijue conjectured, ¡°It must have been stolen by that person in the store. Your credentials and card can be reissued, but are there any other prized possessions inside?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng made a crying face and squatted down. ¡°My credentials and card are my most prized possessions¡¡± she said sadly.
What could she do without her credentials and card?
¡°Boohoo¡ My keycard was in my bag too! Without my key card, I won¡¯t be able to return to my room, and I won¡¯t have anywhere to sleep¡¡±
¡°Key card?¡± Ye Sijue narrowed his eyes. ¡°So you¡¯re staying in this hotel? You¡¯re not from City A?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng didn¡¯t have the energy to lie to him by this point. She nodded. ¡°I came here for fun¡¡±
Ye Sijue squatted down and looked into her eyes. ¡°You¡¯re so blur, and you still dare to go out on your own for fun? No wonder you were almost tricked into being sold off!¡± he said in disbelief.
Ye Sijue felt a little concerned as he thought about the events ofst night.
If she hadn¡¯t been delivered to him, she would really have been defiled.
Ye Sijue¡¯s gaze turned a little frosty as he thought about this possibility.

¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± he said as he stood up suddenly.
¡°Go? Where are we going?¡± Mo Xiaomeng wiped her tears.
Ye Sijue pulled her up as he held her hand and walked her out. ¡°Fool! We¡¯re going to help you im your things back, and also¡ take revenge for you!¡±
Mo Xiaomeng was stunned. Take revenge for her?
However, she felt a trickle of sweetness and warmth in her heart as she gazed at his handsome side profile.
¡
That spa salon wasn¡¯t far from the hotel.
At the door.
¡°Is this the ce?¡± Holding her hand, Ye Sijue asked.
¡°Yeah.¡± Mo Xiaomeng nodded.
Ye Sijue gestured towards the people behind him, and the men in ck rushed in.
Mo Xiaomeng was used to seeing such men, so she wasn¡¯t surprised.
Ye Sijue couldn¡¯t help but shoot a look at her as he noticed it.
It seemed like she was a rich young missy?
However, this felt normal as he thought about it. This little thing was exquisitely beautiful. She must have been brought up with bejeweled nectar, for her skin was smooth as butter, and her hair was soft as silk ¡ª she was practically wless-looking.
Her little hand felt so soft as he held it that it seemed almost boneless, and it was as though it could be broken if he used just a little more force.
After a short wait, a man walked out and gave a slight nod to Ye Sijue.
It was only then that Ye Sijue dragged Mo Xiaomeng in.
The people inside were already under control.
Mo Xiaomeng recognized the woman who had served her previously. She pointed to her and eximed, ¡°That¡¯s her!¡±
That woman was forcefully restrained and presented in front of Mo Xiaomeng.
From the moment Mo Xiaomeng entered, the woman had recognized her, and her eyes went wide from disbelief.
¡°T-This miss¡¡± The woman¡¯s voice trembled as she spoke.
Mo Xiaomeng red at her huffily. ¡°Hurry up and return my bag to me!¡±
Under Ye Sijue¡¯s sharp deterring nce, the woman did not dare to lie but hastily said, ¡°Your bag has been taken away by the manager!¡±
She pointed at the manager and hurriedly outed him.
Ye Sijue¡¯s underlings forced the manager to the front without needing any prompting from him.
The manager was worldly and had recognized Ye Sijue early on. Trembling, she knelt on the floor and pleaded, ¡°Y-Young Master Ye¡ I a-apologize! I apologize! We did not know that this miss was rted to you!¡±
She hastened to get someone to retrieve Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s bag.
After Mo Xiaomeng received her bag, she beamed with delight as she hugged Ye Sijue¡¯s arm. ¡°Let¡¯s go then.¡±
Ye Sijue looked at her, a little amused. ¡°You¡¯re letting it go just like that? Are you not going to investigate further?¡±
This little fool. She had almost been sold and defiled by a random man.
Had she not thought of the consequences?
It was only then that Mo Xiaomeng came to a realization. ¡°Oh yeah! They¡¯re so evil! Who knows if they¡¯ll continue to scam countless girls! We can¡¯t let them off like this! But¡ what can we do?¡±
Ye Sijue frowned and seemed a displeased as he said, ¡°What can we do? You seem to be questioning my power.¡±
He knew that with his influence in City A, he could do whatever he wanted with such illegal stores.
Mo Xiaomeng hastened to shake her head. ¡°I wasn¡¯t!¡±
¡°Tell me what you want then. If you can say it, I can do it,¡± Ye Sijue said confidently, surrounded by the aura of a king. I was as though there was nothing in the world that he couldn¡¯t do if he wanted.

Mo Xiaomeng was curious. ¡°Really?¡±
¡°Really,¡± Ye Sijue answered.
Mo Xiaomeng hugged her bag. Tapping her lip with a finger she took a nce around the entire store before saying, ¡°I want this ce¡ to never be able to scam anyone ever again! Is that possible?¡±
These people were too evil. Who knew how many girls they had cheated in the past?
Upon thinking about the possible fate of these girls, Mo Xiaomeng felt sad for them.
¡°Yes.¡± Ye Sijue smile and nodded at her. When he turned to the uniformed men, his expression turned to one as majestic as a king as hemanded, ¡°Do as she requests.¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Ye Sijue pulled Mo Xiaomeng out of the store.
Mo Xiaomeng was confused. ¡°Just like that?¡±
Ye Sijue stuffed her into the car and said mildly, ¡°The ensuing scene isn¡¯t suitable for your eyes. Do you want to check your bag to see if you¡¯ve lost anything?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng made a noise of agreement. Lowering her head, she began to check through her bag.
Luckily, everything was still present.
She patted her chest in relief. ¡°Luckily, there¡¯s nothing I lost. If I had known that that would have happened, I would have put these things in my luggage.¡±
Ye Sijue started the engine of the sports car and asked, ¡°Which hotel are you staying at? I¡¯ll drive you there.¡±
¡°It¡¯s the one that we just came out of,¡± Mo Xiaomeng replied.
Such a coincidence!
Ye Sijue looked at her. ¡°Which room are you staying in?¡±
¡°Room 1808.¡± Mo Xiaomeng revealed her room number without a second thought.
The 18th floor? Ye Sijue knew that that floor was full of luxurious suites, and it was just a little less superior to a presidential suite. However, the price for staying a night was something that amoner couldn¡¯t imagine.
Ye Sijue smirked in amusement. It seemed like she had an umon status.
Mo Xiaomeng?
Which family of Mos did she belong to?
Ye Sijue was now deep in thought, trying to match her to a Mo family.
He probed, ¡°Did youe to City A to y or to look for a friend?¡±
Even though City A was an international hub, it was not an interesting ce to tour to a wealthy person.
¡°To look¡¡± Mo Xiaomeng almost revealed her motives but luckily stopped in time.
She felt a little hesitant and didn¡¯t know if she should tell him.
It seemed that he might know about Xiaoxiao since he looked like he had a lot of power and influence in City A.
However¡
Mo Xiaomeng started to fret.
Actually, she had other reasons for escaping from America. If she found Xiaoxiao, she was afraid that she would reveal where she was to her brother.
She didn¡¯t want to go back to America temporarily¡
Taking advantage of their red light, Ye Sijue put a hand on the steering wheel dashingly and turned around to ask her, ¡°Who are you looking for? Why did you stop?¡±
He was harboring some suspicions.
He remembered how he seemed to have heard her call out a man¡¯s name when he had been kissing her the previous night.
Could it be that she was here to look for that man?
Was that man important to her?
Ye Sijue¡¯s gaze turned a little stern as he thought about this possibility.
Mo Xiaomeng shook her head. I didn¡¯t say I was trying to find someone. You could say that¡ I¡¯m here for fun and trying to find something casually too. You can think of it this way.¡±
She nced at him furtively. Would he believe such a lie?
The light turned green, and the sports car started back up.
Mo Xiaomeng breathed a sigh of relief as she noticed that Ye Sijue showed no indication of suspicion nor interrogation.

When they reached the hotel, Mo Xiaomeng came out from the car and wanted to wave him thanks and goodbye.
Unexpectedly, he held her hand and pulled her into the hotel.
Mo Xiaomeng said, stunned, ¡°Eh¡ about that¡ you don¡¯t have to apany me upstairs. I can manage it myself.¡±
Ye Sijue didn¡¯t say a word, only pulling her into the lift and went up to the 18th floor.
Once they reached room 1808, he looked at her and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s your key card?¡±
The pair were now standing outside the hotel room. However, with that strange attitude of his, Mo Xiaomeng wasn¡¯t just about to hand her key card over to him no matter how stupid she was.
She hid her bag behind her and asked him warily, ¡°What are you trying to do?¡±
Upon seeing how anxious she looked, Ye Sijue chuckled.
Luckily, this little thing wasn¡¯t hopelessly stupid, and he knew that she should be wary of people.
He stuck a hand into his pocket as he looked at her with his blue eyes and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that I would have done something to you if I wanted tost night and that I had no reason to wait till now?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng thought for a while. He made sense.
¡°Why do you want to go into my room then?¡± she asked, puzzled, as she rummaged through her bag for the key card. With a beep, the door unlocked.
Ye Sijue said mildly, ¡°I want to take something.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng was confused.
He wanted to take something?
This was her room. What did he want to take from it?
Once the door was open, Ye Sijue took her hand and pulled her into the room.
He swept a nce at the wardrobe and the table. ¡°Are these your things?¡± he asked.
Mo Xiaomeng nodded. ¡°Yeah.¡±
It was only then that Ye Sijue released her hand. ¡°Pack everything up.¡±
He was opening the wardrobe as he said this. Grabbing her suitcase, he proceeded to stuff her clothes into it.
Mo Xiaomeng had hung some lingerie there as well. Upon seeing him reach out to grab them, she blushed and tried to stop him quickly.
¡°Why are you taking my clothes?¡±
However, Ye Sijue pointed to the things on the table and said, ¡°Pack those up.¡±
¡°Why must I pack them?¡± She looked puzzled.
After packing the clothes, he then looked at her and said, ¡°Because you¡¯re not going to stay here anymore.¡±
¡°Why?¡± Mo Xiaomeng was a little surprised and thought that something might have happened.
Under his urging, she had no choice but to pack her things into her suitcase hastily.
Ye Sijue dragged the suitcase out of the door and closed it before pulling her into the lift.
Mo Xiaomeng questioned closely, ¡°Hey! You haven¡¯t told me: Why can¡¯t I stay here anymore?¡±
Could it be that the backer of the store wasn¡¯t someone to be trifled with and that they might take revenge on her?
The lift arrived, and Ye Sijue dragged her out.
He turned back to look at her, and his tone was like a bully¡¯s as he said, ¡°Because I forbid it.¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Mo Xiaomeng was stunned by this answer.
H-He forbid it?
What¡¯s that supposed to mean?
Mo Xiaomeng was dragged out to reception to return her key card and then dragged out by him and stuffed into his car.
¡°Then¡ where am I supposed to stay?¡± Mo Xiaomeng finally came back to her senses and asked in shock.
A devilishly charming Ye Sijue smirked. ¡°My home.¡±
¡
In ss on Monday.
In the morning, Mu Xiaoxiao nced over at Yu Zhe¡¯s desk involuntarily when she walked in to ss.
The seat was empty and there was no one in it.
She had already predicted that this would happen.
She didn¡¯t know if he had been discharged, and she wasn¡¯t nning to care too.
Even if he had been discharged, he would feel too ashamed to appear right in front of her, right?

An expressionless Mu Xiaoxiao walked to her desk and sat down.
Usually, right about now, Yu Zhe would have turned around to talk to her and share thetest gossip with her.
However, it was particrly quiet today.
Mu Xiaoxiao plopped onto her desk. She wanted some peace and quiet.
Suddenly, she heard her ssmates nearby discussion something.
¡°I heard that Yu Zhe dropped out. Did you know that?¡±
¡°That can¡¯t be! What did he do? Was he expelled or did he drop out?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know. It seemed like his family came over to withdraw him. Look, his drawer is empty.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly lifted his head and looked at those ssmates with annoyance.
¡°Can you stop being so noisy? It¡¯s d*mn annoying!¡±
There was silence instantly.
Now that everyone was aware that Yin Shaojie had Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s back, no one dared to incur her wrath.
Thus, no one dared to speak after her outburst.
Soon, it was time for ss.
The first lesson was Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s most hated ss, English. Because she was feeling unhappy, she couldn¡¯t be bothered to listen in ss but continued to put her head on her table and look out of the window.
The English teacher suddenly walked over and rapped his teaching baton on her desk.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, get up.¡±
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head, looking annoyed.
The English teacher teacher was shocked. He didn¡¯t expect such bad attitude from her, for she had always been smiley and respectful no matter how hard he came down on her every time.
What was the matter with her today?
How dare she show such attitude to a teacher?
The English teacher sneered to himself.
So you¡¯ve be arrogant now that you¡¯re favored by Young Master Jie!
The English teacher said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you score a hundred marks on the previous test? Get up and read your essay to everyone, and exin your writing ideas to us too.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t even take her textbook out. She was in no mood to read any essays.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I don¡¯t feel like reading it,¡± she rejected immediately.
The English teacher didn¡¯t look too good, and it was as if he had been pped.
How dare a student refuse to read something a teacher asks of them?
¡°Why not? Mu Xiaoxiao, can you stop being so selfish? Since you scored so well, can¡¯t you help your ssmates improve as well?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao held her anger back, her chest heaving. ¡°I just don¡¯t feel like reading it, and I only mean what I just said. You can invite another ssmate to read it.¡±
The English teacher mmed on her table. ring at her with fury, he said, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao! What kind of attitude is this! Are you not taking a teacher seriously anymore just because you have Young Master Jie as a backer?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had already disliked him since a long time ago, but she hadn¡¯t retaliated because she felt that she should respect teachers and the ss.
Her gaze swept past the table in front of her casually.
She had remembered once¡
She had also been deliberately put in a spot by the English teacher. However, Yu Zhe had helped her out, and he came up with a sessful scheme to embarrass him.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mood turned even more sour when she thought about Yu Zhe.
The English teacher was waving his baton in front of her, which made her even angrier.
¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± she roared.
The English teacher jolted and turned red from having the tables turned on him and being roared at by a student. ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao! Are you forgetting the respect towards a teacher!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao sneered coldly. ¡°Respect towards you? I¡¯ve endured you for so long because I tried to respect you. However, you don¡¯t seem to deserve respect!¡±

The English teacher shook with rage, pointed his lecture baton outside, and said, ¡°You¡ you. Stand outside as punishment!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao curled her lips derisively, her attitude bing haughty like a princess¡¯.
¡°You dare to ask me to stand outside? Let me tell you, you aren¡¯t even qualified to tell me that!¡±
¡°You¡ª¡ª¡± the English teacher pointed at her with a lecture baton.
¡°Shut up!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t give him a chance to talk, pped away the lecture baton, and scoffed at him, ¡°I will give you one chance to apologize to me. Otherwise, you can try and test me and see if I have the power to make you disappear from Shangde High!¡±
These words were just too impudent!
The teacher wasn¡¯t the only one who was shocked; the students were as well.
The English teacher recovered his senses and said with a slightly shaky voice, ¡°Don¡¯t think that by relying on Young Master Jie¡ª¡ª¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao interrupted him again, raising her eyebrows as she said, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Are you scared? If you are scared, then apologize to me!¡±
The English teacher paused for a moment, looking a little uneasy.
He thought that since it was obvious how much Yin Shaojie protected Mu Xiaoxiao now, if she were to let Young Master Jie help her, then he would probably not stand a chance against her.
Although the teachers who could teach ss S were either the best at teaching or came from an impressive background, even if they came from an impressive background, they could not be more impressive than Young Master Jie!
But he would rather die than apologize to a silly little girl.
He put a bold face on as he said, ¡°Why should I, as a teacher, apologize to a student! Go find Young Master Jie then. Since justice is on my side, I¡¯m not afraid of you!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao sneered and said, ¡°Justice?¡±
The English teacher felt that her smile was strangely horrifying as he felt a chill down his spine.
He started to panic and quickly found himself a way out of the embarrassing situation.
¡°Okay, okay. I know that you girls have a temper for some days in the month, so I¡¯m not going to argue with you. If you don¡¯t want to read, then so be it.¡±
He looked a little gloomy as he left Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s seat and returned to the podium.
Mu Xiaoxiao shot him a cold re before looking away andying back on her desk.
In the two periods of lessons, the English teacher no longer went to her looking for trouble.
In the music ss.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t go to the ssroom for music lessons like everyone else but stayed in the ssroom.
She was alone in the ssroom.
Mu Xiaoxiao continuedying on her desk, listening to the rustling sound of the leaves outside and asional chirping of the birds.
Suddenly. Knock, knock.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. She clearly felt that her table was vibrating, but she wondered if she was just imagining things.
Knock, knock. Someone knocked on her table twice again at the spot above her head.
The realization jolted her.
Someone was sitting in front of her¡
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up and saw Han Qiqing smiling.
Han Qiqing¡¯s hands were ced one on top of the other, almost in exactly the same posture as Mu Xiaoxiao. Her chin was resting on her arm as she stared at Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°Xiaoxiao, why are you goofing off and not going to ss?¡±
As Mu Xiaoxiao staring back at her, the bright sun rays through the window seemed very clear and beautiful.
Her mood instantly got better.
¡°Why did youe to find me?¡± she asked Qiqing.
Han Qiqing shifted the positioning of her hands, pressed her lips together, then exined, ¡°We think that it is better to tell you.¡±
¡°About what?¡±
¡°About this person.¡± Han Qiqing pointed at where she was sitting.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked stunned for a moment.
Watching her, Han Qiqing said, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to hear it, then I won¡¯t say it.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pressed her lips together and tugged her lips into a smile. ¡°Tell me then.¡±
¡°It was Shijun who discovered it. It turned out that the guy who sits in front of you had a family situation¡¡±
As Mu Xiaoxiao listened, it was in fact the same as what Yu Zhe had told her yesterday, but Qiqing talked about it in greater detail, including how Yu Zhe was in a difficult position in the Yu family.
Han Qiqing sighed and said, ¡°Though outsiders see how well-off rich kids are, they all have their burdens to bear.¡±
Wealthy families, frankly speaking, were ces where people would fight over self-interest.
The mutual deception in wealthy families depicted in TV dramas were only the tip of the iceberg.
Mu Xiaoxiao said with a nk expression, ¡°Do you mean that I should forgive him?¡±
Han Qiqing shook her head. ¡°Of course not! If you want to forgive him, that is your own decision. I won¡¯t interfere.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao said firmly, ¡°Betrayal cannot be forgiven.¡±
Thus, she wouldn¡¯t forgive him.
Seeing the look on her face, Han Qiqing¡¯s heart jolted and became tense for a moment.
¡°Xiaoxiao¡ If a particrly good friend betrayed you because of some secret troubles, would you also¡ feel the same way?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked into her eyes and said, ¡°From the moment he chose to betray me, he already didn¡¯t regard me as a friend. Why should I even consider his friendship?¡±
Rtionships were already fractured the moment betrayal happened.
It was an answer that was hard to rebut against.
Words were stuck in her throat as Han Qiqing nodded and said, ¡°Yeah¡ you¡¯re right¡¡±
She just didn¡¯t expect Xiaoxiao to be so resolute.
Perhaps it was because there were no gray zones in Xiaoxiao¡¯s world; her world was ck and white.
Han Qiqing sighed and said, ¡°Xiaoxiao, then you should stop being sad since Yu Zhe chose his family over you.¡±
At least in the end, in order to save Xiaoxiao, he was willing to give up his life, which indicated that Xiaoxiao was a very important person to him.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment.
Hearing what Han Qiqing had said, Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to have felt an instant relief.
Yeah, Yu Zhe only chose to protect his family, although he did it in a way that hurt his friend.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt rxed as the knot in her heart seemed to have disappeared.
She smiled and said to Qiqing, ¡°Yeah, I won¡¯t be sad anymore.¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s eyes rolled craftily, and she said, ¡°Let¡¯s go out for a walk? We¡¯ll get depressed staying here!¡±
¡°Alright!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao agreed instantly without thinking.
The next second, her little face drooped, and she shook her head and said, ¡°No, I can¡¯t. I promised Jie that I wouldn¡¯t wander around again. If I go anywhere, he must be there to apany me.¡±
Han Qiqing tut-tutted, but she didn¡¯t dare to say that the Great Master Yin was acting too tense. After all, it was normal for Yin Shaojie to be worried for Xiaoxiao after this incident.
She said to Xiaoxiao, ¡°What should we do? I feel so bored, and I don¡¯t want to go to ss! Didn¡¯t we say that we would go camping thest time? The weather is getting colder now. If you don¡¯t go now, it¡¯d be winter soon!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go camping then.¡±
¡°Really?¡± Han Qiqing was about to rejoice when she realized Xiaoxiao was not the one who said that.
The two girls turned their heads at the same time and saw Yin Shaojie leaning dashingly against the wall beside the door and wearing a charming smile.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him amusedly. ¡°Why are you here also? Don¡¯t you two have sses to attend? Why are youing to my ss?¡±
¡°Someone reported to me that you didn¡¯t go to music ss, so I came to check if you were skipping sses again,¡± Yin Shaojie said as he strolled over.
Mu Xiaoxiao snorted at him. ¡°You nted a spy near me?¡±
Didn¡¯t that mean that she was being monitored?
Yin Shaojie walked up to her and chose to sit in the seat opposite of her.
¡°I also know that you rebelled bravely against the English teacher in thest lesson. I heard that he has been targeting you all the time?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao supported her chin with her left hand and said indifferently. ¡°I¡¯m an eyesore to him, and he¡¯s an eyesore to me too.¡±
Just like the incident earlier, on the surface, the teacher was asking her to read her essay and share her experience, but with his character, he would definitely be picking faults with her and looking for opportunities to ridicule her.
She was upset and didn¡¯t want to give him any chance to criticize her.
Han Qiqing asked curiously, ¡°Which teacher is that?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao said with no anger, ¡°It¡¯s Zheng Yong. Every time hees to ss, he will always try to target me. He just has to mock me every time. Ever since I first attended his ss and made him lose face, I¡¯ve be an eyesore to him.¡±
Hearing this, Yin Shaojie arced his brow. ¡°Always? Does he act like this in every ss?¡±
¡°Almost. Anyways, even in ss, he will always shoot me an asional nce. I don¡¯t think I need to tell you more about what kind of nces he gives me.¡±
Luckily, her English was good enough; otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t even feel like learning English with a teacher like this.
¡°How could he do this!¡± Han Qiqing smacked the table angrily.
Yin Shaojie said disapprovingly, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡±
¡°What¡¯s there to tell?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him. She couldn¡¯t just report every little problem, could she? What would that make her?
Seeing the look on Yin Shaojie¡¯s face, Mu Xiaoxiao seemed as if she knew what he was thinking and said, ¡°I¡¯m telling you, don¡¯t interfere. This is something between me and him. I will deal with it.¡±
Han Qiqing said, ¡°Xiaoxiao, you are just too good of a¡¡±
¡°Hold it!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stopped her and corrected, ¡°Don¡¯t say that I¡¯m a pushover! I just don¡¯t think it¡¯s necessary to make such a big fuss out of many things. Anyways, I don¡¯t care how he sees me. I¡¯ll just ignore it.¡±
Yin Shaojie said sternly, ¡°But haven¡¯t you considered this? By ignoring him, others will see that you are a pushover.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She pouted and said dejectedly, ¡°I know now, okay¡¡±
Han Qiqing frowned and said, ¡°Teachers like him are inappropriate in their conduct. How can he be allowed to continue teaching?¡±
Even if he didn¡¯t treat everyone equally, wasn¡¯t he acting a bit too petty as a teacher?
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that what she said made sense, so she nodded and said, ¡°I think so too, and I see that the other students don¡¯t like him very much either.¡±
Han Qiqing pped her hands once and said excitedly, ¡°Isn¡¯t that all you need? Just go and tell that to the principal and let him fire him!¡±
¡°We can put this off for now¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shifted the subject, looked at Yin Shaojie, and said, ¡°Jie, did you just say that we are going camping? Really? When?¡±
It was only Monday. It seemed like such a long wait until it was the weekend.

Yin Shaojie looked at her, and their eyes met. With obvious tenderness in his eyes, he said in his subwoofer-like voice, ¡°We¡¯ll go whenever you want to.¡±
Han Qiqing had a feeling that she was an unnecessary presence, so she quickly stood up and said, ¡°I won¡¯t be a third wheel then. You guys have a nice chat and let me know about your decision!¡±
With that said, she quickly slipped out of the ssroom.
Mu Xiaoxiao watched Qiqing with a funny smile. However, when she turned back, her cheeks felt a soft object against them.
She didn¡¯t know when it happened, but Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face was found right in her face.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face reddened, and she pushed him away. ¡°What are you doing!¡±
Qiqing had only just left, and this guy was already trying to get frivolous with her?
¡°Can¡¯t I even kiss you?¡± Yin Shaojie said with a smirk, his ck eyes looking naughty.
His upper body leaned toward her, almost pressing himself against her.
Smiling as she stared at him, Mu Xiaoxiao deliberately shook her head and said, ¡°No.¡±
Yin Shaojie raise his eyebrows. ¡°It was the same yesterday too¡ You kicked me down when we were in the middle of it. Don¡¯t you know it will hurt men if our desires are not satisfied?¡±
Thinking about their intimacy yesterday, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little face was even redder, and she yelled, ¡°Who said you could get handsy with me?¡±
Why won¡¯t he just kiss like normal!
But his hands and feet were restless, and his hands wandered until they touched her chest.
Yin Shaojie stared at her and said seriously, ¡°Why can¡¯t I get handsy with you?¡±
Did she want to stay in the kissing phase for the rest of her life?
How could he allow that!
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°Bastard! Is your brain only filled with those things?!¡±
¡°Yes!¡± Yin Shaojie replied shamelessly.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Yin Shaojie looked at her iprehensibly and said, ¡°It would be abnormal if I didn¡¯t want to be intimate with you, wouldn¡¯t it? Me wanting to kiss you, touch you, and hug you shows that I like you!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao blushed, and her heartbeat raced wildly.
He, he can¡¯t do that!
How could he suddenly say such a thing¡
Mu Xiaoxiao then realized that Yin Shaojie had never told her that he liked her.
¡°Say it again,¡± she said with an expectant look, her cheeks red.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s ck pupils seemed to contain his amusement. As if he understood what she meant, his good-looking thin lips arced into a smile
¡°Dummy, I said¡ I like you.¡±
Thest word disappeared into the gaps between their lips.
As Yin Shaojie was saying this, he reached out his long arm behind her head and pressed her head toward him.
With her little mouth taken in his, he stroked against her cherry lips.
Mu Xiaoxiao liked his tender kiss and couldn¡¯t help but reach out and hug his neck.
Going deeper into the kiss, his hot tongue intertwined with hers, inviting her into a mutual dance, unwilling to part.
Mu Xiaoxiao still had her wits about her and worried that someone might barge in.
She seemed to have heard an abrupt sound, and she quickly pushed his chest away.
¡°There¡¯s someone¡¡±
Yin Shaojie reluctantly released her little mouth and looked back.
¡°There¡¯s no one there. Don¡¯t be so nervous. Rx.¡±
With that said, his big hand held her cheek as he tried to kiss her again.
Mu Xiaoxiao blushed and blocked him with her hand. Her little mouth, which had be wet from the kiss, said, ¡°No more!¡±
¡°Why not?¡± Yin Shaojie obviously hadn¡¯t had his fill. Even if he couldn¡¯t eat her up, shouldn¡¯t he at least get a good taste of her?

Not allowing him to kiss her after that short of a kiss was simply torture for him!
Yin Shaojie adjusted his breathing, stared at her, and said unhappily, ¡°Do you not like me very much? Why do you always refuse me?¡±
He had never heard her confess to him.
The Great Master Yin, who had always been confident and proud of himself, was starting to have doubts about his charm.
Or was it because he had hurt her feelings before, so she now still had reservations about him and had notpletely opened herself up to him?
At the thought of this, Yin Shaojie¡¯s brows wrinkled deeper.
D*mmit!
What exactly did he have to do to erase the wounds in her heart?
He couldn¡¯t stand how she was having reservations about him as if she still didn¡¯t regard him as a lifelong partner.
If another man appeared who could attract her, would she simply leave him for the other man?
Yin Shaojie felt something tugging at his heart, and a ruthless air came over him.
He wouldn¡¯t allow it.
He would never allow such a thing to happen!
Even the thought of how she had reservations about him was already driving him crazy.
Upon hearing his words, Mu Xiaoxiao was startled, and she noticed that his handsome face had turned grim.
She knew that he was probably thinking too much again.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly said, ¡°No! I don¡¯t dislike you¡ It¡¯s just¡¡±
Yin Shaojie grabbed her hands tightly, his ck eyes staring at her as he said tyrannically, ¡°Say it then! Say you like me! Hurry up! Say you love me!¡±
I love you¡
Mu Xiaoxiao was embarrassed. How could she say these words out loud!
¡°I like you, okay! I like you, you big bastard. Will this do?¡±
¡°How much do you like me?¡± A particr demon still seemed unsatisfied as he continued to question her.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that he was very childish, but it caused ripples in her heart.
She had no choice but to say, ¡°I like you so, so much!¡±
¡°Then why did you refuse me? Why don¡¯t you let me hug you?¡± Yin Shaojie asked her iprehensibly.
Even if she was shy and didn¡¯t want to take it to the final step so quickly, she could still take it slowly. But every time, she would very quickly brush away his hands.
¡°I¡ I¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stuttered, looking gloomy as she pouted. She drooped her head and muttered, ¡°I feel¡ very awkward¡¡±
Maybe it was because the two had known each other too well?
Growing up together, they had been very close to each other. It was normal for them to even sleep together.
She also felt veryfortable when she kissed.
But when it came to the next step¡ she felt that it was so strange. She felt awkward and uneasy in every cell of her body!
Aiyoh, how could she describe that feeling!
Anyways, it was just weird and very awkward!
Yin Shaojie stared at her expression and asked with his brows furrowed, ¡°When I touched you, do you feel awkward? Do you not feelfortable?¡±
Hearing hisst sentence, Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to feel a small electric current running through her body, making her feel slightly fuzzy.
How could he ask this question!
Whether she feltfortable or not¡
Mu Xiaoxiao was blushing. She turned away in embarrassment, afraid to look at his eyes.
Yin Shaojie continued to question her as though he had to know the answer. ¡°Tell me. Do I make you ufortable?¡±
He wouldn¡¯t allow her to escape.
Such an important matter concerning their future sexual well-being must be resolved as soon as possible.
As he continued to question her closely, Mu Xiaoxiao felt quite embarrassed and didn¡¯t know how to answer him.

He could he have the cheek to ask such an embarrassing question?
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t find the words to describe how she felt, but she just wanted to escape and find a hole to hide in!
¡°No! Can you stop asking? Don¡¯t you think¡ it¡¯s weird?¡±
¡°How is it weird?¡± Yin Shaojie looked at her and asked very seriously.
Mu Xiaoxiao appeared very awkward, and she didn¡¯t know how to describe it. ¡°It¡¯s just¡ aiyoh! I don¡¯t know how to say it! Stop forcing me to!¡±
She couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, so she simply covered her ears with both hands and closed her eyes.
Staring at her for a few moments, Yin Shaojie then sighed and said, ¡°Okay then.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was silent for a few seconds.
She slowly let go of her ears, but her eyes were still closed.
She didn¡¯t hear any sounds around her.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart went pit-a-pat as she started to feel uneasy.
He couldn¡¯t have walked away in a huff, right?
Mu Xiaoxiao became flustered at the thought of that, so she quickly opened her eyes to look at where Yin Shaojie was just sitting.
Caught off guard, she was met with his deep gaze.
It was like a bright starry sky that could take one¡¯s breath away with its splendor.
He said nothing and only watched her quietly, his gaze locked on her.
So he didn¡¯t walk away¡
This realization allowed Mu Xiaoxiao to rx. Her fluster had subsided, but there was still some lingering fear.
She was afraid that he was really angry.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that she also made mistakes. If there was a problem, she needed to talk about it so that they could solve it together instead of saying nothing as this would only worsen their disagreements.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want things to end up like that.
Her expression softened as her bright, ck eyes stared at him.
The two looked at each other for a while.
Mu Xiaoxiao then said in a soft voice, ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡¡±
Yin Shaojie reached out his hand to stroke her cheek and said in a maic voice, ¡°Dummy, why are you saying sorry?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pressed her lips together and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to not talk about it. It¡¯s just¡ I really don¡¯t know how to say it. It seems that I haven¡¯t gotten used to¡ our current rtionship.¡±
Although, after they had gotten together, there didn¡¯t seem to be any changes in their rtionship, and they were still as close as they used to be.
When he kissed her, she enjoyed it very much.
But if they were to take it a step further, then she would really find it hard to get used to.
Being close in a rtionship was one thing, but being physically intimate in a rtionship was another matter.
She never had a boyfriend before, and neither did she engage in any physical intimacy with other people.
Yin Shaojie was the first person she liked and the first person to have kissed her.
His sudden desire to engage in physical intimacy with her was something that she just couldn¡¯t get used to in such a short time.
So she felt that it was weird!
It¡¯s not that she didn¡¯t want to do it, but that was just how her body reacted.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s jet-ck eyes watched her fixedly. The pretty face seemed to be in deep distress. Apparently, she wasn¡¯t lying.
He sighed and said in a low voice, ¡°Okay, I know. I understand what you mean.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up at his eyes. ¡°Do you really¡ understand what I mean?¡±
She was afraid that he didn¡¯t understand!
Because she didn¡¯t want him to be angry and misunderstand her.
Yin Shaojie tugged at his sexy thin lips into a smile, and suddenly his hands stretched over to both sides of her cheeks and pinched them.

He said, ¡°If I can¡¯t even understand this, then all the years that we have known each other would have been in vain.¡±
Perhaps¡ this was also a drawback of being childhood friends.
Knowing each other too well had instead be an obstacle.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked worried as she said, ¡°What should we do then?¡±
Yin Shaojie also thought that this problem was quite a headache. But the matter didn¡¯t seem urgent, so he had to properly think of a good way to allow her to adapt to their current rtionship.
However, he asked curiously, ¡°Then why don¡¯t I feel not used to it?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. Then a thought came to her, and she rolled her eyes at him,.¡±Because you are dirty-minded!¡±
All he thought about was how to eat her up.
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes and said, ¡°This shouldn¡¯t be the reason, right?¡±
Okay, okay, okay. I admit I¡¯m dirty-minded, okay?
Is there a man who is not dirty-minded when faced with his beloved woman?
Besides, he was young and hot-blooded, so whenever he touched her, he would inevitably be a bit too eager.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes unconsciously nced toward the ssroom door. She didn¡¯t know why, but she kept feeling as if there was someone outside.
Thinking about how she had just kissed Yin Shaojie, she felt bashful as she wondered if anybody had seen them.
She pushed him and said, ¡°Okay, go back to ss then. If there¡¯s anything else, we can talk again in the afternoon.¡±
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°I¡¯ll apany you here lest you be in a bad mood and start thinking about needless things.¡±
¡°No! Hurry up and get lost! Who wants you to apany me!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao red at him and said.
Having just kissed her, who knew if he might try to get handsy with her again?
Yin Shaojie seemed to know her thoughts as he said, ¡°I promise you that I will be here to apany you, and I won¡¯t do anything. I won¡¯t kiss you or touch you, OK?¡±
He just wanted to stay with her and didn¡¯t want to go anywhere else.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know what to do with him, so she could only go along with him.
¡°Okay then. When the other studentse back, then you have to leave, alright?¡±
¡°Yeah,¡± Yin Shaojie nodded and then shifted himself to the seat in front of her just like Han Qiqing, looking at her face-to-face.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him amusedly.
The two supported their chins as they stared at each other. They then slowly started to smile.
A bright idea shed through Yin Shaojie¡¯s mind, and he said, ¡°I got it!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. ¡°What did you get?¡±
Yin Shaojie said with a smile, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you couldn¡¯t get used to it? That¡¯s because our rtionship has evolved too quickly. Therefore, we should take it slowly and start with dating first.¡±
By allowing her to adapt slowly, she will then get into the groove.
By then¡ when the conditions are right, I will be able to eat her up sessfully.
Yin Shaojie visualized the ending in his mind, imagining her lying beneath him and looking shy yet alluring¡
¡°Why do I feel like there¡¯s evil in your eyes!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said suddenly, pointing at his eyes.
Yin Shaojie grabbed her finger and denied it, saying, ¡°No, you saw wrong.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little face flushed a little redder. ¡°What dating¡¡±
Using that word on themselves made her feel awkward and embarrassed.
Perhaps it was also because this was her first time dating someone?
Something was seen from the corner of her eye again, and Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s gaze once again turned toward the door.
Is someone outside?
She stood up and said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°You can carry on thinking then. I¡¯ll go to the toilet for awhile.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll go with you?¡± Yin Shaojie said as he grabbed her hand, looking amused.

Mu Xiaoxiao brushed his hand off and stuck her tongue out at him, then she smiled and said, ¡°No!¡±
She tookrge steps as she strode out of the ssroom.
Upon reaching the door, she looked around but there was no one there.
That¡¯s strange. There¡¯s no one?
Looking puzzled, Mu Xiaoxiao walked to the toilet.
As she walked to the stairs, a figure suddenly jumped out and scared her.
¡°Mu, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¡± a timid voice said from in front of her.
Mu Xiaoxiao patted herself on her chest in fright and looked at the girl who was blocking her path.
She asked, ¡°Who are you?¡±
Looking at the frailness of the other party, she¡¯s probably not looking for trouble, right?
Although Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t very strong herself, she believed that she could handle this girl, who looked weak at first nce.
The girl seemed very panicky as she looked left and right along both sides of the corridor.
She then reached out her hand to grab Mu Xiaoxiao.
With a quick reaction, Mu Xiaoxiao withdrew her hand, wringing her eyebrows at the girl in front of him. ¡°Who are you? What do you want?¡±
The girl rubbed her hands nervously and pushed up the sses on her face.
She said in a small voice, ¡°I¡ I¡¯m your ssmate. There¡¯s something I want to tell you¡ It¡¯s about, Teacher Zheng¡¡±
Teacher Zheng?
Zheng Yong?
That was the English teacher.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. Then staring at the girl¡¯s face, she finally recognized her. She seemed to recall that she was her ssmate from ss S.
Because the other party had her head lowered earlier, she couldn¡¯t get a good look at her face.
¡°Something about him? I don¡¯t want to know! You¡¯re not trying to help him, are you?¡±
Upon hearing what Mu Xiaoxiao said, the girl shook her head vigorously.
Mu Xiaoxiao was very curious, so she went with her to a secluded corner.
The girl took out something and proffered it to her¡
¡
Inside the ssroom.
Since Mu Xiaoxiao was away, Yin Shaojie was feeling bored, so he looked around, and his gaze unconsciously fell upon the desk that he was sitting at.
So is this the seat in front of Xiaoxiao?
That traitor¡¯s seat.
Yin Shaojie noticed at the bottom left corner of the table, that someone had carved a ¡°Yu¡± word with a knife or something and then colored it with a ck pen.
He curled his lips derisively and scoffed, ¡°Childish!¡±
How old was he already, yet he still carved his name on the table.
Yin Shaojie got annoyed from the sight of it. Then he had an idea, so he made a phone call.
When he was done with the call, Mu Xiaoxiao also just happened toe back.
Yin Shaojie noticed that she wasn¡¯t looking too good and might even be looking very grim.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± he asked as he put away his phone.
Pulling a long face, Mu Xiaoxiao went to the drawer and took out her phone. She opened the video that she had received and yed it in front of him. She was furious as she said, ¡°It turns out that Zheng Yong is scum!¡±
This video was just what the girl had shown her earlier. She sent it to her phone using the girl¡¯s phone.
Yin Shaojie frowned. ¡°What happened?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was so angry that it was as if she was going to spurt fire, and she said, ¡°Just watch and you¡¯ll understand! That damn Zheng Yong used his own authority to actually threaten a girl and¡ molested her!¡±
The video from the phone was ying, and the camera was shaking a lot as though it was ced in a hidden location to secretly capture the footage.
It could be seen that the person was called to the teacher¡¯s office by Zheng Yong.

Chapter 568: It Looks Irksome

From their dialogue, it could be made out that the person involved was a girl with a timid and frightful voice, whereas Zheng Yong sounded very lecherous and suggestive in the way that he talked. He would also touch the girl¡¯s hands and even her thighs from time to time.
His hand wandered up from below her skirt and even made the girl cry out in fear.
At theter part of the video, it got worse.
Mu Xiaoxiao had already seen it, and she couldn¡¯t stand watching it again this time, so she turned her head to the side.
With furrowed brows, Yin Shaojie took the phone so that she wouldn¡¯t see it.
But the sound wasn¡¯t off, so Mu Xiaoxiao could still hear it.
Mu Xiaoxiao clenched her fists, her hand shaking as if she wanted to beat someone up.
She recalled how the girl had plucked up her courage just to be able to ask her for help. She kept begging, asking her to help report Zheng Yong.
Without even watching the full video, Yin Shaojie turned it off.
He was ashen-faced. He had never expected such a rotten apple to be found in Shangde.
And he¡¯s supposed to be a role model for students. He deserves to f*cking die!
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him, angrily hammered the table, and said, ¡°This scum! We must not let him continue to harm others! People like him are not fit to be teachers!¡±
Originally, though she didn¡¯t like the teacher, it wasn¡¯t to the extent that she would pull strings to make the principal fire him.
And she was also worried that if she did, then others would think that it was Yin Shaojie who used coercive means, which wouldn¡¯t give others a good impression of the Yin family. You¡¯re reading on B oxnovel.c om .Tks!
Actually, what Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know was that there was a reason why Zheng Yong dared to act so impudently in ss S. Even if the principal wanted to listen to Yin Shaojie, it wouldn¡¯t be so easy for the principal to just fire Zheng Yong without any valid reason.
But now, the situation had changed. The video in Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hands was the best evidence they could get.
It wouldn¡¯t be a problem to make this scum disappear from the academic circles, let alone just firing him from Shangde because there was not a single school that would ept teachers who had such a bad record.
Yin Shaojie nodded and said, ¡°Leave it to me.¡±
He sent a copy of the video to his phone.
The two chatted for a while before seeing that the ss was going to end soon.
Mu Xiaoxiao said to him, ¡°Can you go now?¡±
Yin Shaojie nced outside and said, ¡°Wait a while more.¡±
¡°What are you waiting for? The ss is ending soon. Hurry up and go!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao rushed him. She didn¡¯t want the students to return and see that he was there. Then they might start spreading rumors again.
Just then, two men appeared at the door and called out, ¡°Young Master Jie, the stuff has arrived.¡±
¡°Okay, move it here,¡± Yin Shaojie looked out and instructed them.
Hearing the noises, Mu Xiaoxiao looked puzzledly in the direction. She saw two people, one carrying a desk and one carrying a chair.
¡°What did you bring these things here for?¡±
Yin Shaojie stood up, pointed to Yu Zhe¡¯s seat, and said, ¡°To rece this.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment before realizing what he was going to do.
Standing beside her, Yin Shaojie said, ¡°It looks irksome.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
The two men were swift as they moved Yu Zhe¡¯s desk and chair away and reced them with a new table and chair.
Mu Xiaoxiao held her chin and looked in front.
Then Yin Shaojie leaned over and said with a maic voice beside her ear, ¡°With this, you won¡¯t think about him, will you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao cast him a sidelong nce and said in amusement, ¡°Did you have to go to this extent?¡±
¡°I do,¡± Yin Shaojie replied without the slightest bit of shame.
Chapter 569 - You Are the Savior of Class S
Chapter 569: You Are the Savior of ss S

Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know what to do with him.
The two men carried Yu Zhe¡¯s desk and chair and left.
Yin Shaojie nced around. With no one around, he pecked her on the face. ¡°Okay, ss is ending soon. I¡¯m going. I¡¯ll find you after school.¡±
¡°No need for that! I¡¯ll just see you at the Student Union building. Don¡¯te over here lest you attract attention again.¡±
Yin Shaojie put one hand in his pocket and waved his hand as he walked out.
¡°See you after school.¡±
Watching his dashing figure as he left, her face lit up with a smile unwittingly.
Soon, the bell rang for the end of ss.
The students came into the ssroom one after another.
Mu Xiaoxiao saw that the girl who gave her the video was following behind the crowd as she entered the ssroom with her head lowered, looking like she was hardly there. Then, she walked towards the back.
So she sits in the back?
Suddenly, someone knocked on her desk and called out, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up and saw two girls wearing clothing from famous brands standing around her. They looked curious and lowered their heads, asking in a whisper, ¡°You didn¡¯t go to music ss. Did you go and find Young Master Jie to help you deal with Teacher Zheng?¡±
¡°No,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said. ¡°I was resting in the ssroom and just didn¡¯t want to go to ss.¡±
The two girls were immediately disappointed and said, ¡°Why?!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao felt that they were acting quite weirdly and asked, ¡°Do you want me to deal with him that badly?¡±
¡°Of course!¡± the two girls said at the same time. Realizing that they had been too loud, they lowered their voices again and said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Many of us in our ss don¡¯t like him.¡±
Although they tried to be quiet, the people next to them were pricking up their ears to eavesdrop on the conversation, and they heard them.
Then someone echoed, ¡°Yeah! Mu Xiaoxiao, if you can get him reced, then that would be a great deed! You would then be the savior of our ss!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or cry. She hadn¡¯t expected things to turn out this way.
However, this also showed how unpopr Zheng Yong was, that so many students in the ss hated him.
From the looks of it, she would be ridding the students of the public scourge.
As soon as this topic was started, everyone began whispering among themselves.
¡°But I heard that Teacher Zheng is the principal¡¯s rtive. That¡¯s why he was allowed to teach us ss S.¡±
¡°It¡¯s no wonder then! Didn¡¯t someone go to the teaching director previously to request that the English teacher be changed? But in the end, nothing was done still, so it¡¯s because he is the principal¡¯s rtive.¡±
¡°I hope that Mu Xiaoxiao can get it done this time. I really don¡¯t want to take his sses anymore. They¡¯re really boring, and I feel disgusted from just seeing him.¡±
¡°It shouldn¡¯t be a problem, right? Young Master Jie is stepping in on the matter!¡±
¡°I want to change to a female English teacher. I hope she will be pretty and have a good figure¡¡±
¡°I think ss A¡¯s English teacher is not bad, and it turns out that ss A obtained a high average score for this exam.¡±
Then, in the afternoon, Zheng Yong was not only dismissed by the school but also taken away by policemen.
Soon, information about his use of his authority to molest a female student spread throughout the school.
Mu Xiaoxiao walked into the ssroom and saw from afar that her desk was piled full of snacks and gifts.
Puzzled, she frowned and said, ¡°Whose stuff is thi¡¡±
Before she could finish speaking¡ªPop! Pop! Pop! Countless streamers sprayed onto her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked, looking stupefied as she heard the voices of students calling out continuously.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao! You¡¯re too badass!¡±
Chapter 570 - Did They Really Get the Wrong Person?
Chapter 570: Did They Really Get the Wrong Person?
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, it¡¯s all thanks to you that we won¡¯t have to face that scummy teacher ever again! Awesome!¡±
¡°Exactly, so it turns out that he has even done so many awful things. Mu Xiaoxiao, it¡¯s fortunate that you punished him; otherwise, who knows who else would have suffered because of him.¡±
All of a sudden, the students crowded around Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly for a moment, then she snapped out of it. Her eyes rolled in puzzlement as she said, ¡°What are you guys talking about? Did you guys think that I was the one who reported Zheng Yong?¡±
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, weren¡¯t you the one?¡± someone asked.
Everyone looked as if they had already confirmed that she was the one who had punished Zheng Yong.
Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged her shoulders, spread her hands open, and said, ¡°It¡¯s not me. You got the wrong person! How could I have known about him molesting female students?¡±
The students, who were discussing noisily, suddenly quieted down, looked at Mu Xiaoxiao in astonishment, and then looked at each other.
So, they really got the wrong person?
¡°Then why didn¡¯t you say that earlier!¡± said a girl standing in front as she walked over and took a gift from Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s desk.
¡°Exactly! You got everyone thinking that it was you who purged the scourge. If you aren¡¯t the one, then you should have said it earlier, seriously!¡±
Another person came and took a gift from the table.
Then, one after another, the others came to take their gifts back.
Mu Xiaoxiao just smiled and kept quiet, choosing not to tell the truth.
She wasn¡¯t very concerned about the gift anyways.
However, she did think that her ssmates were unexpectedly cute.
¡°Do you have to be so materialistic? How can you take back the gifts that you had already given like this?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao deliberatelyined.
One of the girls said, ¡°Everyone thought that it was you who did it, so we gave you gifts. But since you said that it wasn¡¯t you, of course we took them back. How can we still allow you to keep them?¡±
Another girl said, ¡°Yeah! I like this bag very much. I can¡¯t even bear to buy it for myself. But now, I don¡¯t need to give it to you anymore, and I can use it myself. Hehe!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nced at the bag. It was a small backpack from Chanel, which was thetest limited edition model, and it wasn¡¯t cheap!
She was suddenly felt a little moved. She hadn¡¯t expected her ssmates to be willing to spend so much money to buy her a gift.
However, even if this matter was really to her credit, she didn¡¯t want to receive their gifts, so this was good for her too.
¡°This bag is not bad. It looks very nice,¡± she casually praised.
Holding the bag in her arms as though it was a baby, the girl said proudly, ¡°Of course! It¡¯s a bag that I picked out. How can it not be beautiful!¡±
There was also someone who gave her Italian handmade chocte, and he took it out to eat on the spot.
Pointing at the boy, Mu Xiaoxiaoughed, ¡°Do you have to do that? Not only did you take back the gift, but you¡¯re even eating it on the spot for everyone to see and not share it with the ss. That¡¯s too unloving toward your ssmates!¡±
The other¡¯s eyes instantly turned to look and said in unison, ¡°Yeah, Mr. Stingy! Let us have some!¡±
With that said, the students who were more familiar with the boy threw themselves at him to snatch it.
The atmosphere in the ssroom was incredibly harmonious as if they were celebrating something. Everyone was enjoying themselves.
Mu Xiaoxiao liked this very much. This was probably the best the atmosphere had been in ss since she came to ss S.
She sat down at her desk. Without the gifts, the table had restored its tidiness.
Mu Xiaoxiao took off her bag, and when she tried to stuff the bag into the drawer, she felt something inside.
Chapter 571 - Who Wants to Eat Your Saliva?
Chapter 571: Who Wants to Eat Your Saliva?
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Eh? she reached in and felt a stic box.
She took it out for a look, and it was actually a piece of strawberry cake!
Mu Xiaoxiao hadn¡¯t eaten strawberry cake in a while, so her eyes immediately lit up the moment she saw it, and the smile on her face became even brighter.
Someone noticed and asked, ¡°Who hasn¡¯t taken it back yet?¡±
No one answered.
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to know who had sent it as her gaze instinctively turned toward the girl in the back. Sure enough, her head was lowered, but she was smiling.
But what gave Mu Xiaoxiao a pleasant surprise was that she hadn¡¯t expected that ssmate to know her tastes. Perhaps that meant that she had always been paying attention to her?
Knowing that this was a gift of thanks, she epted it magnanimously.
¡°If no one wants to take it back, then they don¡¯t mind if I dig in,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said as she opened the cake box, picked up a fork, and took a bite.
There was a girl who shouted, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, how can you do this? Maybe the person hasn¡¯t returned yet, yet you actually stole and ate her cake.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao heard that she had no ill intent in her words but was only joking.
So she alsoughed and said, ¡°I don¡¯t care. In any case, since it¡¯s in my drawer, it means that it is meant for me. Any of you want to eat? I can be generous and share some with you since you guys seem to be drooling. Aiyoh, it¡¯s really good. How can it taste so good!¡±
¡°Who wants to eat your saliva! It¡¯s only strawberry cake; it is not as if no one has ever eaten it before.¡±
¡°But¡ it seems really tasty.¡±
¡°Yeah, you¡¯re making me feel like eating it. Who is the one who bought this? Which store did you buy it from? Someone tell me!¡±
¡°You want to buy it? Then I want one too. Buy one for me then.¡±
¡°Me too! Me too!¡±
Listening to their ruckus, it felt pleasant to her ears, putting her in a good mood. Even the cake she was eating tasted particrly sweet.
Soon after she finished eating, she packed up the box, and her gaze unwittingly fell upon the desk in front of her again.
The table had been reced with a new one.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled, feeling really relieved. She was no longer that troubled anymore.
¡
At night.
In the GG Bar was a scene of feasting, revelry, and people singing into the night.
When a customer left, An Zhixin walked over to clear up the table and wipe it clean with a cloth.
Actually, she didn¡¯t want to work part-time in the bar since the bar was quite a debauched ce. But, she couldn¡¯t find other part-time jobs, so she had no choice but to take this one, and it was even Wang Shiyu who had introduced the job to her. The hourly sry was also rtively higher.
Just as she finished wiping the table, her phone rang in her pocket.
She thought it was the supervisor looking for her, so she hurriedly picked it up, but little did she expect to hear her father¡¯s voice.
¡°Xinxin, will you agree to Papa¡¯s request? Papa promises you that I will never let you do something that you don¡¯t like. It¡¯s just to apany a few scions for some drinks. This is very normal. I¡¯m not asking you to sleep with them.¡±
Feeling helpless and dejected, An Zhixin took a deep breath and said, ¡°Pa! I really don¡¯t want to. I don¡¯t want to do that kind of thing!¡±
¡°But Papa has already promised someone. Juste once. Just once! Xinxin, Papa said before, when Papa earns money, I¡¯ll buy a big house for you to live in. You should also stop staying at that dormitory. Come back home.¡±
¡°Pa, I¡¯m very busy right now. I¡¯m hanging up,¡± An Zhixin didn¡¯t want to continue talking to him, so she hung up immediately.

After hanging up the phone, she was feeling in the dumps, and her eyes gradually became wet.
An Zhixin tilted back her head to prevent her tears from falling.
Why did she have such a father?
She missed her childhood when she lived with her mother. Although they didn¡¯t have much, at least it hadn¡¯t been so draining.
As she ruminated, she couldn¡¯t help but think about Mu Xiaoxiao.
Fate was really unfair. Extremely unfair!
An Zhixin wiped her tears with the back of her hand and cleared the sses onto the tray. Just when she was about to leave, someone suddenly appeared and grabbed her hand.
It was a drunkard, and he stared at hersciviously.
¡°I recognize you¡ You are An Furen¡¯s daughter, right? I thought you looked familiar! Come, I will buy you for one night.¡±
With that said, his pair of disgusting hands reached out to touch An Zhixin.
Afraid to drop the tray, An Zhixin didn¡¯t dare to struggle too much, and she had no choice but to timidly hide away from the guy¡¯s hand.
¡°I don¡¯t know you, and I¡¯m not An Furen¡¯s daughter. You have the wrong person!¡±
She was anxious to leave, but the drunkard grabbed her hand and pulled her back. ¡°Don¡¯t go! I want you to apany me!¡±
Staggering on her feet, the tray on her hand nted, and the sses all fell and broke on the ground.
An Zhixin¡¯s face instantly turned white.
She had to pay for all these broken sses!
A day¡¯s sry in her part-time job wasn¡¯t even enough to pay for these sses!
¡°How, how can you do this¡¡± she cried out and used the drunkard with tears in her eyes.
Seeing her sobbing and looking pitiful, it only fueled the drunkard¡¯s lust as he grabbed her to kiss her.
¡°Little beauty,e apany me for tonight. I¡¯ll give you money. I¡¯ll give you money.¡±
¡°No! You let me go! Let me go! Help!¡±
An Zhixin cried out. There were a lot of onlookers around, but not a single person came up to save her.
This was just an ordinary bar. One could easily imagine the quality of security and the guests it had.
There were even men who were shouting noisily, wanting the man to deal with her right on the spot.
An Zhixin was extremely flustered, afraid that she would really lose her innocence just like this!
She was weak and didn¡¯t have the strength to break free from him as she was pinned to the ground, his hands feeling her up and down.
Rip! The man tore her clothes.
¡°Help!¡± An Zhixin broke out in frightful tears.
Just as she had given up hope, the weight on her suddenly disappeared, and she then heard the drunkard screaming.
Feeling someone putting clothes over her body, An Zhixin¡¯s eyshes fluttered, and she opened her eyes.
The scene before her eyes scared her.
A group of men in suits and leather shoes looking like bodyguards protected her.
The man who had just given her the clothes knelt in front of her and called out respectfully, ¡°Miss An Zhixin.¡±
The onlookers crowding around were taken aback. Those who weren¡¯t in the know might even have thought that she was a wealthy young missy.
An Zhixin recovered her senses. ¡°I, I¡¯m¡¡±
Why did he know her? Were these people specially here to help her?
Then, An Zhixin followed the man in a state of bewilderment.
She was taken to a super luxurious vi in a wealthy district.
What happened next, for An Zhixin, waspletely like a dream.
She was served by a lot of maids and taken to shower. When she came out, her skin was soft and her body fragrant.
She changed out of the lousy clothes she was wearing and put on a skirt from a famous brand.

There were also people specially appointed to dress her up and do her hairstyle.
Standing in front of the mirror, An Zhixin covered her face, feeling as if she was a princess.
Goodness gracious!
She had never felt so beautiful before!
Knock knock.
Someone knocked on the door.
At first, An Zhixin was waiting for the person toe in, but she suddenly came back to her senses and quickly called out, ¡°Pleasee in.¡±
A man who looked like a butler came in, bowed to her, and said deferentially, ¡°Miss An Zhixin, pleasee with me.¡±
An Zhixin stared nkly for a moment and replied absentmindedly, ¡°Oh¡ alright.¡±
She thought: It should be the owner of this house who wants to see me, right?
She was also very curious.
Why did this person save her?
Why did that person bring her here?
Why dress her like a wealthy young missy?
And most importantly¡ Who was this person?
An Zhixin followed butler into a room where everything wasvish, and it was a very mboyant type ofvishness.
¡°Pleasee in,¡± the butler let her in and went out himself.
An Zhixin walked in slowly, and the room¡¯s lighting seemed to be deliberately dimmed to give a mysterious atmosphere.
Just in front, there was a ck figure sitting proudly on a gorgeous European-styled chair.
Standing firmly, An Zhixin looked at the person¡¯s face and asked in curious amazement, ¡°Excuse me, you are¡¡±
The man said, ¡°You don¡¯t need to know who I am. You only need to know that, starting from today, you will be the rich missy here!¡±
An Zhixin seemed as if she could hardly believe it as her eyes widened in shock.
Her voice was shaky as she said, ¡°Are, are you for real?¡±
Was she going to be the rich missy of this ce?
The man proudly smiled and said, ¡°You don¡¯t need to doubt it. From now on, you will live here and enjoy everything here without worry.¡±
Although An Zhixin longed for all of this, she was not silly enough to believe that pies would just drop from the sky.
Gripping her hands nervously, she asked, ¡°Then what do I need to do for you?¡±
The man seemed to appreciate her shrewdness andughed.
¡°You only need to¡¡±
¡
The next day.
At the gates of Shangde High.
A ck Bentley slowly came to a stop. A chauffeur wearing white gloves got out of the car and opened the door to the back seat.
¡°Miss, we¡¯re here.¡±
Thedy sitting inside got out of the car.
The students passing by the school gate turned to look at them.
The girl who got out of the car was wearing a skirt from an international renowned brand, and the bag she was carrying in her hand was also thetest LV model.
¡°Eh? Who¡¯s this girl? I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve seen her before?¡±
¡°She must be the daughter of a rich family. Did you see that Bentley? It costs tens of millions! This girl must have a very high status.¡±
Thisment caught everyone¡¯s attention.
Under the scrutiny of the crowd, An Zhixin¡¯s hand, which was holding tightly onto the bag, nervously broke out in cold sweat.
The chauffeur bowed to her deferentially and whispered, ¡°Miss, you don¡¯t have to be nervous. Remember that from today onward, you are a rich missy.¡±
An Zhixin paused as she remembered what the etiquette teacher had taught herst night.
She hurriedly straightened her back, lifted up her chin slightly, and adjusted the sunsses with her finger.
¡°Okay, I got it.¡±
The chauffeur then said, ¡°Miss, have a good time. I will pick you up after school.¡±
An Zhixin nodded, looking at the school gate in front as she slowly walked over.
Basking in the limelight, she kept a confident posture as she walked through Shangde High¡¯s gate.
This was a scene that An Zhixin couldn¡¯t even have dreamed of. She used to be so crazy abouting to Shangde High. This moment was totally a dreame true for her.

And not only did she be a student of Shangde, but she even entered in such a morous manner. It waspletely like a dream.
She took great efforts to calm herself down so that she wouldn¡¯t scream out boorishly.
Yes, now that she was a rich missy, she should appear ssy and natural!
An Zhixin slowly hypnotized herself, and her expression gradually became more confident.
¡
Year One¡¯s ss S.
A few minutes before ss started, Mu Xiaoxiao was a little bored sitting at her seat. With nothing else to do, she took out her phone and browsed Weibo to check if there was any gossip to read.
Little did she expect to see a new Weibo post from Shangde Gossip Society.
The attached picture was a girl¡¯s side profile, wearing clothes from famous brands and being finely-dressed. She could tell from a single look that the girl was a rich missy.
It said, ¡°This beautiful girl isn¡¯t a student of Shangde but probably a transfer student. Which ss of which year will she be ced in?¡±
There were a fewments below from boys all calling her ¡®pretty girl¡¯ and hoping that she would join their ss.
One personmented that the pretty girl was seen arriving to school in a Bentley that cost tens of millions and that she was probably super rich, so she might be entering ss S.
So, the people below were guessing which year¡¯s ss would she be ced in?
One person analyzed that she was likely to be going to Year Two¡¯s ss S. She might havee just for Young Master Jie!
This was because this kind of thing wasn¡¯t new in Shangde. There were quite a few daughters from famous families who had evene from other provinces to City A to study, taking great pains to enter Shangde just to get close to Young Master Jie.
You¡¯re reading on Thanks!
This spection received a lot of responses.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but squint. Could this really be the case?
She simply took a screenshot of thements and sent it to Yin Shaojie via WeChat.
Let¡¯s see how he will answer!
Unexpectedly, Yin Shaojie replied practically in the next second. Instead of exining what happened in the past, he asked directly, ¡°What is your Weibo?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
How could she tell him!
Mu Xiaoxiao sent him a stuck-out-tongue emoji and said, ¡°Not telling you!¡±
Yin Shaojie snorted and said, ¡°Just watch. I will find it.¡±
Recalling that he had almost magical abilities, she couldn¡¯t help but feel worried. He wouldn¡¯t really be able to find her Weibo, could he?
She was using the alternate ount that she had registeredter. There were still Weibo posts of her scolding him when he broke her heart..
If she were to let him see it¡
Mu Xiaoxiao was scared. Thinking that it was a bad idea, she quickly unfollowed the Shangde Gossip Society lest Yin Shaojie traced her from the fans list.
She wondered: I haven¡¯t made anyments or given any likes in the Shangde Gossip Society, right?
So there shouldn¡¯t be anything that could be traced back to me, right?
Just when she was in a fluster, she overheard the conversation between the two boys in front, mentioning Yu Zhe¡¯s name.
Unwittingly, she turned her attention toward them.
¡°What? Yu Zhe was looking for you to borrow money? He also came to borrow from me¡ but I really can¡¯t help him. I spent all my money buying a car previously.¡±
¡°Me too. We usually spend money the moment we get it. How could we still have any left?¡±
¡°Besides, it¡¯s a huge amount that he wants to borrow this time. I really can¡¯t help him.¡±
¡°Yeah, it¡¯s not just a matter of a few hundred thousand yuan. But he sounded very anxious. On ount that we are brothers, if I had the money, I would really want to help him out.¡±

¡°Aish, I heard that there seemed to be some big problems in his family, and they needed a lot of money to settle it or else¡ something terrible will happen.¡±
¡°No wonder he dropped out from school.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had already let Yu Zhe¡¯s betrayal go from her mind, but she felt a little disturbed.
Just then, the bell rang for the start of ss.
Mu Xiaoxiao was still daydreaming and thus didn¡¯t notice the Chinese teacher leading a girl in.
It caused a stir amongst her ssmates.
¡°Isn¡¯t this the girl from earlier in the morning? So she¡¯s transferring to our ss?¡±
¡°There were guesses on Weibo that she must havee because of Young Master Jie and would be transferred to Year Two¡¯s ss S. Looks like they were wrong.¡±
¡°Wow! She looks hot! Which wealthy family is she from? The parade in the morning was quite extravagant, and that Bentley¡¯s expensive!¡±
The Chinese teacher interrupted everyone¡¯s mutterings and said, ¡°This is our new transfer student. She¡¯ll be introducing herself to everyone.¡±
After that, a voice as sweet as an oriole¡¯s song said, ¡°Hello everyone, I¡¯m An Zhixin. I¡¯ll be a member of ss S from now on, so please take care of me.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao, who had been lost in her daydreams, suddenly got a shock.
An Zhixin?
She lifted her head suddenly and looked towards the podium.
Coincidentally, An Zhixin looked over at her as well, and their gazes met.
An Zhixin looked unruffled. She gave her a smile and nodded her head as a greeting.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned and quickly stopped her shocked expression.
So An Zhixin was the girl in that picture?
How could she have transferred to Shangde!
Mu Xiaoxiao was well-aware of An Zhixin¡¯s family background. Even if her dad won the lottery, she still wouldn¡¯t be able to enter, much less ss S!
Mu Xiaoxiao thus felt that this turn of events was really unimaginably strange.
The Chinese teacher swept her gaze across the room. Pointing at the empty seat in front of Mu Xiaoxiao, she said, ¡°An Zhixin, you may take a seat there.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She eyed the table in front of her. That was once Yu Zhe¡¯s seat, and the new table and chair had been ced there under Yin Shaojie¡¯s orders. How could it be so coincidental that An Zhixin was going to sit here?
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to admit it, she felt a little unhappy about this.
An Zhixin¡¯s gaze had been fixated on Mu Xiaoxiao the entire time. She then walked over slowly and sat in the seat in front of her.
The Chinese teacher rapped on the podium. ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll now begin ss. The new student doesn¡¯t have a textbook, so may her deskmate care for her and share his textbook?¡±
An Zhixin¡¯s deskmate was a boy, and he was, of course, very willing to do so. He pushed his textbook over hurriedly in front of An Zhixin.
¡°May I call you Zhixin? Your name sounds so pretty. Since we¡¯ll be deskmates from today onwards, you can ask me for help if you don¡¯t understand anything!¡±
An Zhixin¡¯s smile was friendly as she nodded her head and said, ¡°Sure. I¡¯m not very familiar with Shangde, so please take care of me in the future.¡±
The boy looked like he had been hypnotized by her as he remarked, ¡°Zhixin, you¡¯re so gentle¡ I¡¯ve never met a girl as gentle as you.¡±
An Zhixin smiled as she said, ¡°You¡¯re exaggerating. Alright, let¡¯s stop talking or we¡¯ll disrupt the ss.¡±
¡°Okay! Let¡¯s pay attention; we¡¯ll talk after ss.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting right behind them, heard the entirety of their conversation.

Chapter 576: Mu Xiaoxiao, You¡¯re Undeserving!
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
She frowned, feeling like this current An Zhixin didn¡¯t seem like the one she knew from before.
If their gazes hadn¡¯t met from before, Mu Xiaoxiao would have thought that this An Zhixin was only simr in name and appearance to the An Zhixin she had known.
Because of this unexpected matter, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t focus in ss and started to daydream about other things.
Suddenly, the person in front of her stood up.
Mu Xiaoxiao got a shock and thought that ss had ended. However, she didn¡¯t see anyone else move, only An Zhixin walking to the podium alone.
What was going on?
It turned out that An Zhixin had been called upon to answer a question on the board.
An Zhixin¡¯s penmanship was decent. Even though it wasn¡¯t beautiful, it was regr and precise, which made the viewer feel good looking at it.
She looked a little shy. After answering the question, she even nodded to the teacher respectfully.
Her attitude elevated her in the eyes of her ssmates.
The Chinese teacher studied her answer and nodded satisfactorily. ¡°It looks like our new student¡¯s grasp of Chinese isn¡¯t bad.¡±
When An Zhixin walked back to her seat, her gaze shot to Mu Xiaoxiao again.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know why, but she felt as though her gaze was a little provocative and pleased.
When An Zhixin returned to her seat, she used her peripheral vision to nce at Xiaoxiao.
Internally, she sneered and said: Mu Xiaoxiao, you only have a pretty face. Your academics suck so much ¡ª what right do you have to stay by Yin Shaojie¡¯s side? You¡¯re totally undeserving of him!
She had heard from that person about Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s results. Apart from excelling in English, she was really, really bad at all her other subjects to the point where she didn¡¯t even pass.
Even though An Zhixin¡¯s academics were no match for the top-ranked students who were academically inclined, they were still considered outstanding.
With Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s bad grades in mind, An Zhixin felt even more strongly that Mu Xiaoxiao was only an ornamental girlfriend who used her looks and figure to win Yin Shaojie¡¯s affections.
¡
The ss ended.
The students who were curious about An Zhixin clustered around her swiftly, firing questions at her rapidly.
However, there were more boys in this group of people, of course.
An Zhixin maintained her friendly smile throughout.
This made the boys think that she was an easygoing person, which gained her some more points from them.
The girls were mostly there to probe about An Zhixin¡¯s background. However, seeing as she was keeping mum about it, they became disinterested and left.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought the surroundings a little noisy. Just as she got out of her seat, some of the other female ssmates called out her name.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, are you going to the washroom? Let¡¯s go together.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little shocked. She had been in ss S for quite a while already, but these girls had always seemed to harbor some hostility towards her. This was their first time voluntarily making contact with her.
She shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m only going out for some fresh air.¡±
The girls seemed a little disappointed. ¡°Oh¡ We¡¯ll be going then. We can go together next time.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled. ¡°Sure.¡±
She took her phone and went out. Standing at the hallway, she looked down at the scenery below.
She then heard the ssmates behind her discussing about her.
¡°It turns out that Mu Xiaoxiao is a friendly person. She didn¡¯t seem as haughty as I expected.¡±
¡°Wasn¡¯t she like that from the start? I always thought of her as quite a nice person.¡±
¡°Hindsight is 20/20! You spoke badly of her before.¡±
¡°Hey! Can we not talk about this anymore? She might hear us.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and couldn¡¯t help but smile a little. It looked like these people had changed their minds about her after the incident regarding Zheng Yong.

Even though she had denied that she had anything to do with it, some people had their own theories and thought that she must have had something to do with it.
Engrossed in eavesdropping, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t realize that someone was walking towards her.
The phone in her hand started to vibrate.
She looked down. Yin Shaojie was requesting a video call.
What did he want?
Even though she didn¡¯t understand why, she still epted the call.
¡°Oi, why did you video call me?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Yin Shaojie curiously through her phone.
Yin Shaojie was smiling carefreely to the point where his dark eyes resembled crescents. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just wanted you to guess where I am right now.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao examined her phone carefully and realized that he was walking along a hallway while video-chatting her.
This hallway looked a little familiar.
Mu Xiaoxiao had a sudden realization and whipped her head around. As expected, she saw Yin Shaojie.
He had his phone in one hand and ced his other hand in his pocket dashingly. He smiled as he gazed upon her, his dark eyes inspiring emotion within her.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but smile, but she acted disdainful towards him. ¡°Do you know how childish you are? How is this fun?¡±
Yin Shaojie hung up the phone and walked towards her in big strides.
It was as though he was a natural-born superstar who could attract the attention of everyone. The students in the ss even ran out.
An Zhixin was no exception. Upon hearing of Yin Shaojie¡¯s presence outside, she couldn¡¯t remain seated and went out excitedly.
However, An Zhixin¡¯s expression froze when she saw the scene before her.
Yin Shaojie had already reached Mu Xiaoxiao, and he seemed to only have eyes for her, ignoring the rest of the crowd.
He didn¡¯t even seem to realize that An Zhixin, who was standing by the door, was here.
He was not speaking, but Mu Xiaoxiao saw a smirk on his handsome face. ¡°Why did youe and look for me?¡± she couldn¡¯t help but ask.
He was so mysterious.
Yin Shaojie crossed his arms and leaned close to her. In a low maic voice, he said, ¡°I found it.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. Her thoughts paused for a moment before she quickly understood him.
She stammered a little anxiously, ¡°You f-found it?¡±
How could it be!
Was he lying?!
Yin Shaojie smirked sinisterly. There was an indescribable pride in his inky dark eyes, and his roguish expression could inspire insanity in girls.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart started beating really quickly. She had a feeling that he seemed to have found her Weibo.
Wouldn¡¯t he have seen what she had written on Weibo then?
Help!
She really wanted to find a hole to hide in.
She felt so embarrassed!
It was so d*mned embarrassing!!
¡°That¡ Nature¡¯s calling me suddenly; I¡¯m going to the toilet!¡± She turned around and tried to make a quick escape.
However, how could Yin Shaojie just let her go like that?
It was as though he could see what she wanted to do just as she turned around. He quickly grabbed onto her wrist.
After that, he loomed over her with his tall figure and trapped her against the railing with both arms.
He leaned his handsome face closer and narrowed his obsidian eyes dangerously. ¡°Did it feel good when you were scolding me?¡± he said.
Mu Xiaoxiao giggled and yed innocent. ¡°What are you talking about? Since when have I scolded you?¡±
¡°Have you never?¡± The sexy pair of lips closed in a little more.
¡°Oi!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pressed onto his chest with both her hands to prevent him from moving closer.
There were so many people watching!
However, their lovey-doveyness had long blinded the single dogs [5. single dog is a term used to describe single people] in the crowd.
Hello?! 110?! There are people abusing dogs here!

Yin Shaojie chuckled sinisterly as he said, ¡°It looks like I¡¯ll have to extract a confession by torture then.¡±
Upon hearing the sinister tone in hisughter, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heartbeat quickened uncontrobly.
Her cheeks became slightly pink as she tugged on the cor of his shirt with her little hands and said in a small voice, ¡°Can we not talk here? There are so many people. We can talk about this after school. ss is about to start so you¡¡±
Before she could finish her words, Yin Shaojie moved away. Ignoring the stares of the crowd, he grabbed her hand in one swift motion and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go then. We¡¯ll talk elsewhere.¡±
There were indeed too many people here, making speech inconvenient.
Also, he had no intention of kissing her in front of so many people from the start.
He didn¡¯t want any of the other boys to see her bashfulness.
¡°But I need to go to ss¡¡±
The bell for ss rang just as Mu Xiaoxiao finished her words.
The other students returned to their senses as well. Realizing that Yin Shaojie was walking over, they quickly moved aside and cleared a path for him.
Yin Shaojie seemed to be deaf to the sound of the bell and pulled her in the direction of the stairs.
He remarked, ¡°Why should you go to ss? Don¡¯t you like skipping?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Someone had once warned her to pay attention in ss and not skip often.
This person was now instigating her to skip ss!
At the door of the ssroom, An Zhixin looked stormy as she looked at their disappearing silhouettes. Her fists by her side were clenched in a vice-like grip.
The students beside her discussed the earlier scene as they filed back into ss.
¡°Did you see that? Young Master Jie was looking at Mu Xiaoxiao with such a gentle and adoring look!¡±
¡°I know, right? Young Master Jie would never have done that to his exes. It seems as though he is serious about Mu Xiaoxiao this time.¡±
¡°Boohoo¡ How is Mu Xiaoxiao so lucky to be able to receive true love from Young Master Jie? I¡¯m so jealous and envious!¡±
An Zhixin stood rooted to the spot, her eyes brimming with indignation.
¡
At the Student Union building.
A helpless Mu Xiaoxiao was dragged up the stairs into the Presidential Office.
Yin Shaojie led her directly to his desk. He sat down before sitting her down on his thighs and turning on theputer.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him curiously, puzzled at what he was doing.
The gears in her head turned and she said, ¡°Hey! Did you really not see it, or were you pretending not to see it?¡±
¡°See what?¡± Yin Shaojie looked at her as he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and pushed his shoulder. ¡°An Zhixin! Don¡¯t tell me that you really didn¡¯t see her.¡±
How could he have missed arge human being standing right outside the ssroom?
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°I really didn¡¯t see her. Why is she at Shangde?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao believed him upon hearing his words. Her heart flooded with joy as she realized that this meant that there was no ce for An Zhixin in his heart. If not, how could he have missed such a big silhouette?
She shook her head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on either. She was mysteriously transferred to our ss today. Also, I heard that she arrived to school in a luxury car this morning as though she¡¯s now a rich missy.¡±
Upon hearing these words, Yin Shaojie finally frowned. ¡°There¡¯s such a thing?¡±
Both of them were aware of An Zhixin¡¯s family background. She couldn¡¯t have transferred to Shangde, let alone entered ss S.
This matter was a little strange.
Mu Xiaoxiao picked up her phone and opened Weibo. She found the Weibo of Shangde¡¯s Gossip Society and showed it to him.
¡°See for yourself then. This Weibo has hundreds of replies, and it looks like she¡¯s the subject of everyone¡¯s attention.¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Yin Shaojie took a look at her phone. Even though it was only a side profile, he could tell that the girl was An Zhixin.
The Bentley behind her¡ wasn¡¯t something that a normal wealthy person could afford.
He narrowed his eyes.
What the h*ll was going on?
After sweeping two nces at it, Yin Shaojie took away her phone.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that he was trying to examine the picture further, but he put it aside unexpectedly and held her hand instead.
He said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s ignore unimportant people and get back to business.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. It was apparent that she hadn¡¯te around to things.
Business? What business?
She then saw him reach out for the mouse, open a web page, and enter Weibo.
Mu Xiaoxiao instantly remembered, and her eyes widened.
¡°That¡ I need to go to ss. I won¡¯t disturb you any longer.¡±
She needed to escape quickly!
However, Yin Shaojie hooked onto her little waist, not giving her a chance to escape.
¡°Do you really think that you can escape?¡± His sexy lips curled up as he looked at her while his eyes brimmed with sinister amusement.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted gloomily. Puzzled, she asked, ¡°How did you find out?¡±
She had clearly unfollowed Shangde¡¯s Gossip Society.
How did he find her Weibo?
Mu Xiaoxiao was still in disbelief.
However, Yin Shaojie¡¯s next course of action stunned her to the core.
He entered the login page and actually¡ actually¡
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened in shock as she observed him typing her username and password in.
Was this real or fake?
He clicked on ¡°log in.¡±
It was sessful.
Mu Xiaoxiao inhaled a cold breath of air. He really logged in to her Weibo!
She rubbed her eyes incredulously as though she was seeing the Arabian Nightse to life.
How was this possible?
How did he do it!
Mu Xiaoxiao stammered as she looked at Yin Shaojie in astonishment, ¡°H-How did you know my username and password¡¡±
It was one thing to find her alternate ount, but how did he find out her username and password?
This was something that should be impossible!
Yin Shaojie waggled his eyebrows sinisterly. ¡°Just like that; it isn¡¯t hard.¡±
With his hacking skills, finding out such a thing wasn¡¯t a hard task at all.
However, it was obvious that Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know that he possessed such skill. She was stunned, and her mouth was wide with shock.
¡°Come, let¡¯s read it together.¡±
Yin Shaojie moved the mouse and opened up her Weibo.
Mu Xiaoxiao reacted instantly and tried to stop him hastily. ¡°You can¡¯t look! You can¡¯t look!¡±
She hastened to snatch the mouse away in a flurry.
How could she let him see the contents of her Weibo!
There were not only words of anger directed towards him but also things that should only remain private to herself. They were¡
Mu Xiaoxiao panicked a little. She had already forgotten what she had written.
But they were absolutely not for his eyes!
She had an impression that she had written words like ¡°I like you so much that I¡¯m going insane¡±.
Goodness gracious! Goodness gracious!
She really was going to go insane right now!
How could she let him see such embarrassing derations!
¡°Stop looking! Stop looking stop looking! Yin Shaojie! You¡¯re the worst! How could you casually read through someone else¡¯s Weibo? This is an invasion of privacy, do you understand? Privacy!¡±
¡°I¡¯m not doing it casually; I¡¯m doing it seriously.¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze deepened a little as he looked at her.
Didn¡¯t this girl know that she was sitting on his thighs?
And she actually dared to shake about so much?

His breathing was slightly erratic due to her movements. His maic voice was a little low as he said, ¡°Alright, can you stop moving about already? Let¡¯s look at this together.¡±
If she continued to move about like that, he would lose control soon¡
Didn¡¯t she know that men shouldn¡¯t be teased like this?
¡°No! You¡¯re not allowed to look!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao would only let him look at them over her dead body.
Out of instinct, she snatched the mouse and threw it to one side. She then pushed him against the chair backrest with her two hands.
Yin Shaojie stifled a smile as he observed her, looking like he was enjoying the sight of her floundering.
He didn¡¯t tell her that he had already read everything on her Weibo, not missing a single thing.
He said purposely, ¡°Nothing will happen even if I read it. What have you written that can¡¯t be shown to anyone?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao remembered some of the things she wrote on Weibo.
She especially recalled the things that were only for her eyes, which contained expressions brimming with love and longing for him. She felt deathly embarrassed just thinking about it.
¡°Anyway, you can¡¯t look at them! Don¡¯t you know how to respect people¡¯s privacy?¡± Pushing against his chest, Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him huffily.
A shameless Yin Shaojie replied, ¡°You¡¯re my wife, so why can¡¯t I read it? Also, the things you¡¯ve written there are about me, aren¡¯t they?¡±
His gaze made her heart beat wildly.
Mu Xiaoxiao started to suspect if he had already read them.
She felt as though she was going to go crazy soon.
How could he have ended up reading them?
If she had known this would have happened, she would have deleted the ount!
Yin Shaojie made a move as though to take the mouse, but Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedly grabbed onto his hand, preventing his movement.
She red at him.
The pair¡¯s eyes met. One of them looked calm, collected, and roguish, and the other looked flustered and was blushing.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s head felt muddled. She couldn¡¯t think about anything else other than trying to prevent him from reading her Weibo.
Thus, she leaned forward instinctively and took his mouth into hers.
¡®If she did something else to distract his attention, he would forget about reading her Weibo, right?¡¯ Mu Xiaoxiao thought.
She had only wanted to give him a peck on the lips.
Good, she had now thrown herself into her own trap.
When her lips touched his, Yin Shaojie¡¯s breath hitched. In the next second, his big hands had hooked behind her head, and he pressed forward into a fierce kiss.
¡°Mmph¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was a little shocked. However, her little lips had already been locked in the kiss, and she had no choice but to endure his intense kissing.
Great Master Yin was breathing heavily as though he was dissatisfied.
He picked her up suddenly, and with one sweep of his long arm, he pushed all the things on the table to the floor and ced her on the table.
¡°Hey, you¡¡±
Before Mu Xiaoxiao could speak properly, her mouth was once again taken in his.
The kiss this time was even more intense than before.
Goodness gracious!

Mu Xiaoxiao used her little hands to push against his chest, beating on him anxiously.
It was only then that Yin Shaojie came to his senses and gradually loosened his hold on her lips. His breathing was wild and heavy as he asked in a low voice, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was scrunched up as sheined, ¡°The table¡¯s hard, and I¡¯m really ufortable from being pressed onto it.¡±
Yin Shaojie looked behind her. Picking her up again, he pulled her into his embrace and returned to sitting down on the chair.
¡°Is it okay now?¡± He leaned back onto the backrest. With one hand behind her head, he pressed her lips close to his.
The pair¡¯s lips met again.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was really red, but she didn¡¯t reject his advances. She let him kiss her obediently and sometimes even reciprocated shyly.
This kisssted for a very long time.
Mu Xiaoxiao realized that Yin Shaojie was different this time.
She racked her fuzzy brain.
She thought for a long while before she realized what it was.
Oh yeah, he wasn¡¯t touching her anywhere this time.
Previously, when they were in the middle of an intense kiss, his hands would definitely travel under her clothes subconsciously and touch her body.
This time, however, he didn¡¯t do that. Instead, they were only pressing on her back this time, not going out of bounds.
Mu Xiaoxiao was in a little disbelief.
Had the devil turned good?
Just as she was thinking about it, Yin Shaojie released her little mouth. Their foreheads were touching, and they looked into each other¡¯s eyes.
The pair¡¯s breathing was erratic.
Suddenly, Yin Shaojie took his hands off her. cing them on his chest, he slowly undid the buttons on his shirt.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened. She didn¡¯t know what he was doing.
W-Was he trying to take off his clothes now?
She had a raging blush on her face, but did not stop him, of course, and only looked on at his actions while blushing.
After undoing all of the buttons on his shirt, Yin Shaojie grabbed her little hand and ced it on his muscr chest.
¡°Touch me,¡± he growled in a sexily low voice as thoughmanding her.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡°T-Touch you?¡±
Yin Shaojie smirked and held tightly to her little hand, which she had been about to retract, and ced her palm on his chest.
¡°Didn¡¯t you say that it was ufortable when I touched you? You can touch me instead, and we can take things slowly.¡±
He really couldn¡¯t wait to eat her up right now.
However, upon careful thinking, it seemed like it would be an interesting process if he conditioned her slowly.
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao felt really bashful, she couldn¡¯t control her own curiosity and emotions, and her little hands caressed his body.
¡°You can touch me here too,¡± Yin Shaojie said as he moved her hand downwards.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s gaze looked down naturally andnded on his distinct eight-pack.
She swallowed unconsciously.
S-So hot¡
Yin Shaojie took in her little expressions. ¡°Are you satisfied?¡± he asked in a sinisterly charming voice.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s blush had already spread to her neck and the tips of her ears, and she didn¡¯t answer him.
Even though she had no basis forparison, she had to admit that this guy was¡ incredibly sexy.
She could feel his warmth clearly from under her palm and thetent strength from his muscles.
Yin Shaojie was enjoying her worshipping gaze. He couldn¡¯t help but cup her face in his hand and pull her in, delivering a kiss onto her lips again.
Her touching felt inexperienced and sloppy as though she was doing this flippantly.
However, this made his urges burn even more fervently.
He shifted his lower body unobtrusively.
The pair kissed for a long time. Even though they didn¡¯t do anything further, the atmosphere was warm and sweet, totally the picture of passionate love.

¡°Alright.¡±
The first person to surrender was surprisingly the Great Master Yin. He pushed her away a little, and his voice was heavy from suppression.
Mu Xiaoxiao had been enjoying the kiss, and her dark eyes red at him confusedly as though they were asking him why he had stopped.
Yin Shaojie chuckled bitterly. This girl was enjoying herself, but he was about to explode.
She liked to kiss him, which made him happy.
However, kissing with no chance of doing anything further was a torturous thing for any man.
Yin Shaojie lifted her up. He then got off the chair sat her on it.
¡°Be good and sit here.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. She grabbed onto his arm, reluctant to let him part. ¡°Where are you going?¡±
They were kissing so nicely, and she was enjoying herself a lot. Why was he leaving?
Yin Shaojie reached out and pinched her cheek. ¡°Dumbass, I¡¯m not going anywhere; I¡¯m just going to take a shower. Let¡¯s go on a dateter.¡±
Shower? Date?
These words floated around in Mu Xiaoxiao, but she still didn¡¯t register what was happening.
Yin Shaojie looked at her cute expression and her lips that were red from his kisses. She looked so delicious that he wanted to lunge over and knock her down.
The thing below his abdomen stirred once more.
Yin Shaojie gritted his teeth and controlled himself.
¡°Alright, be a good girl and sit here. Don¡¯t run off,¡± he said as he left quickly and entered the washroom.
Mu Xiaoxiao was dazed for a while. Upon hearing the sounds of the water from inside, she then came to a realization.
This realization turned her face even redder.
Goodness gracious!
So what he meant by showering was¡
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t dare to think further. She plopped herself onto the table bashfully and hid her face in her arms.
After ten minutes, Yin Shaojie finally walked out and changed into a new set of clothes.
Upon seeing her with her head on the table, he wondered if she had fallen asleep.
However, when he got closer, Mu Xiaoxiao jolted up like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on.
Her face was red as she looked at him and stammered, ¡°Y-You¡¯re done showering¡¡±
She could feel the coolness from his body from his proximity.
Mu Xiaoxiao reached out subconsciously and touched his arm.
As expected, it was cold.
He had taken a cold shower.
This made her feel a little guilty. She couldn¡¯t help but think: Was it bad for his body if he kept on enduring it?
After all, the weather was now beginning to turn chilly, and he might catch a cold from taking cold showers.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiao wondered if she was being too unconventional.
Since they were lovers, it should be natural for them to be intimate with their bodies, right?
Yin Shaojie had an unobstructed view of the emotions that were practically written all over her face.
Yin Shaojie bent over and nted a kiss on her lips.
¡°Alright, stop thinking about weird things. Let¡¯s go.¡±
He took up her little hand.
¡°Jie¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him guiltily. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m being too¡ unconventional?¡±
¡°Unconventional? I don¡¯t. Why would you think so?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at her as he led her out.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s expression was gloomy as she said, ¡°I¡ don¡¯t let you touch me andin that I¡¯m not used to it¡ My friends didn¡¯t seem to have such a problem when they were dating. I really don¡¯t know why I¡¯m like this¡ Is it because I¡¯m too unconventional?¡±
¡°No, you¡¯re not,¡± Yin Shaojie said earnestly this time.
Mu Xiaoxiao stopped in her tracks and looked at him.

Yin Shaojie sighed as he caressed her little hand and said, ¡°What nonsense are you thinking about? How is this unconventional? You¡¯re only telling me your honest, innermost thoughts. It¡¯s only a matter of being used to it or not; why should you be forbidden from feeling it? Why do you have to be the same as other people? They are them and you are you.¡±
And what I only care about are your feelings.
It¡¯s okay if you¡¯re not used to it. We can take things slow and make you get used to my touch over time.
Mu Xiaoxiao was convinced by his words and beamed.
Yin Shaojie also smiled mesmerizingly. Holding her little hand tight, he said, ¡°Let¡¯s go on our date.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was dragged along by him. ¡°Why are we going on a date?¡± she asked.
Excuse him!
Wasn¡¯t it ss time right now?
Yin Shaojie¡¯s charming eyes folded into crescents. ¡°Weren¡¯t youining about me breaking my promise about taking you to the amusement park to y?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned.
W-Wasn¡¯t this something that she had written on Weibo?
It turned out that he had already looked through her Weibo!
¡°Why did you read my Weibo!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao puffed out her cheeks as she said. ¡°How did you find my Weibo?¡±
Yin Shaojie turned around to look at her, his eyes gleaming with a mysterious luster. ¡°Because I¡¯m¡ omnipotent!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Yin Shaojie dragged her out of the Student Union building and headed to the carpark.
When they arrived at the sports car, he settled her in and even put on her seat belt for her, stealing a kiss in the process.
He pressed his hand against the backrest and, looking into her eyes, said, ¡°Also, didn¡¯t I say it before? Since we¡¯re going to date each other, we have to go out on dates.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s lips curled up in a sweet smile. ¡°Have you made the preparations then? Where are we going for our date?¡±
Did he do this on the spur of the moment, or had he already thought about the location and made preparations for it?
¡°You¡¯ll find outter.¡± Heyered on the suspense deliberately. Straightening up, he shut her side of the door before going over to the driver¡¯s side and getting in.
The sports car left the school swaggeringly.
In no time, the news that Young Master Jie had taken Mu Xiaoxiao out to skip ss had spread to the entire school.
Of course, Shangde¡¯s Gossip Society sent out a Weibo at the earliest moment.
Even though it was still ss time, there were already over a hundred replies within a minute.
Before ss had begun, the Year One students had seen Young Master Jie go to ss S to look for Mu Xiaoxiao. They had been acting all lovey-dovey and even kabedonned.
They had now driven out of school in a car. Where were they going?
This was something that everyone at Shangde was curious about.
Many of them didn¡¯t pay attention to ss. Instead, they hid their phones in their drawers and made guesses on Weibo, analyzing where they could have gone to.
Someone replied, ¡°Could they have gone to a hotel?¡±
This reply received a lot of likes, and many people agreed with it.
¡°That¡¯s a real possibility! You guys weren¡¯t there, but when Young Master Jie came to look for Mu Xiaoxiao in Year One¡¯s ss S during break, they were so lovey-dovey that they looked like they were passionately in love!¡±
¡°I also saw Young Master Jie taking Mu Xiaoxiao into the Student Union building in a hurry. Do you think they¡ you know!¡±
¡°Boohoo, I don¡¯t want to hear it! I believe Young Master Jie isn¡¯t like that!¡±
¡°It looks like Mu Xiaoxiao really is Young Master Jie¡¯s true love¡ I¡¯m so heartbroken; what should I do! Boohoo, this is so painful! But I still can¡¯t bear to forget Young Master Jie!¡±
A furious An Zhixin looked at the discussion. Her fist was clenched so tightly onto her phone that her knuckles were exposed.

In the sports car.
Mu Xiaoxiao was thirsty and got Yin Shaojie to buy some water for her to drink. Right now, she was sitting in the car, surfing Weibo on her phone.
She didn¡¯t know what it was, but she kept feeling that she was forgetting something, but she couldn¡¯t remember it.
She stared at the contents of her Weibo and sighed.
Should she delete it?
Even though Yin Shaojie might have already read all of it, she still felt really embarrassed.
This alternative ount was created for her to vent her emotions about him. Thus, everything on there mentioned him whether it was about scolding him or about her feelings for him.
Mu Xiaoxiao hit her head with her phone gloomily.
Why did he have to see such an embarrassing thing?
If she had known that this would have happened, she would not have sent the screenshot of Shangde¡¯s Gossip Society to Yin Shaojie, exposing herself.
Mu Xiaoxiao regretted this a lot!
Yin Shaojie quickly bought some water back for her. Upon entering the car, he passed the bottle to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao twisted the cap but couldn¡¯t open it.
She gritted her teeth and used all her strength to twist the cap, but it didn¡¯t budge.
Yin Shaojie looked at her in amusement and reached out to grab the bottle. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Can¡¯t even twist open a bottle cap?¡±
He twisted the cap once and it opened. He handed the bottle to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted andined, ¡°There must have been a problem with the water you bought! It was so hard to open.¡±
Yin Shaojie nced at her phone in her hand. His gaze was amused as he said, ¡°Did you not see it when you were ying around with Weibo?¡±
¡°See what?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pressed her phone against her chest so that he couldn¡¯t see the screen.
Yin Shaojie started the sports car as he smirked and said, ¡°They say that once a girl gets a boyfriend, all their capabilities regress, and they won¡¯t even be able to open a water bottle.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused. She understood what he had implied. He was saying that she was trying to act coquettish by purposely being unable to open the bottle?
She hastily denied, ¡°I¡¯m not like that! The problem lies with the bottle you bought.¡±
Yin Shaojie cast a side nce at her. ¡°I didn¡¯t say that you were like that. Why did you make your own assumptions?¡±
¡°You!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was angered by him. If he wasn¡¯t driving, she would have hit him.
She harrumphed, stopped talking to him, and started to drink the opened bottle of spring water.
She surfed Weibo as she drank the water.
She chanced upon Shangde¡¯s Gossip Societytest Weibo questioning where they went and talking about her and Yin Shaojie skipping ss.
Mu Xiaoxiao clicked on thements. The first thing she saw was thement that had received the most likes.
¡°Pfft!¡± The water in her mouth sprayed onto the ss of the car window in front of her.
¡°Cough, cough, cough¡¡±
Her face was red, and she was choking.
Yin Shaojie looked at her in confusion. Because they were at a red light, he stopped and asked worriedly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is there a problem with the water?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. She was blushing as she said, ¡°The students in school are ridiculous. We¡¯re only skipping ss, yet they said¡¡±
She trailed off, not wanting to read on.
¡°What did they say?¡± Yin Shaojie asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and refused to tell him.
Yin Shaojie grabbed her phone away and cast a re at it. Suddenly, he smiled. ¡°Get a room? That¡¯s a good suggestion. Let¡¯s go get a room then!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him, her blush reaching her ears. ¡°Hey! Who wants to get a room with you!¡±
¡°Which hotel do you want to go to? Do you remember the hotel that we went to before?¡± Yin Shaojie asked, seeming to be deaf to her objections.

Mu Xiaoxiao remembered it. She had gotten into a fight with him right after she hade back home. She then ran off to stay in a hotel, but he had found her there in the end, and they had spent the night there together.
Her heart beat wildly as she threatened him, ¡°I said no! Try it, and I¡¯ll get out the car right here.¡±
The light turned green, and Yin Shaojie drove again.
A little bummed, he said, ¡°Okay, do you have any ce you want to go then?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to use her phone anymore]. She looked at him and said, ¡°No. Have you not arranged something already?¡±
He replied, ¡°I wanted to see if you had anywhere you wanted to go in mind.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°No, I don¡¯t have anywhere I want to go in particr.¡±
¡°How about a movie?¡± he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked like she disliked the idea. ¡°No, there doesn¡¯t seem like there¡¯s anything good to watch these days.¡±
Anyway, hadn¡¯t they already watched a movie on the cruise ship back in America?
¡°Alright, let¡¯s head to the amusement park then!¡± Yin Shaojie said.
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded as she grinned happily at him.
She didn¡¯t really care about where they went as long as they went there together.
The new amusement park was located in a more suburban area, so it took a little longer to get there.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Mu Xiaoxiao was so tired that she took a nap.
¡°We¡¯re here.¡± Suddenly, she heard a maic voice.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyshes stirred, but she didn¡¯t open her eyes.
Yin Shaojie leaned his handsome face close as he stared at her little face. In a devilish voice, he said into her ear, ¡°Are you Sleeping Beauty? Do you need a kiss from this prince to wake up?¡±
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiao felt a strong masculine aura envelop her.
She opened her eyes hurriedly and saw Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face magnified before her eyes.
¡°You¡¯re trying to take advantage of me again!¡± Her voice sounded husky from sleep.
Yin Shaojie caught her chin and gave her a peck on her little lips. ¡°This isn¡¯t taking advantage of you if I¡¯m doing it out in the open,¡± he responded.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked a little bashful as she turned her head away. Coincidentally, she saw the entrance to the amusement park.
¡°Is this it? This doesn¡¯t look like the one we visited before,¡± she said.
¡°Yeah, this opened only two years ago. You haven¡¯t visited this ce before, right?¡±
Yin Shaojie parked the car in the car park before gesturing for her to get out of the car.
The both of them emerged from the car. Yin Shaojie went over to her side and took her little hand in his.
¡°Let¡¯s go. Luckily, its school hours right now, so there are fewer people here.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to be thinking about something. She looked at him as she asked sourly, ¡°Do youe here often?¡±
¡°Why would I? Do you think I would like to hang out here?¡± Yin Shaojie looked back at her as he answered.
If it wasn¡¯t to apany her, he would have no interest ining to such ces.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Then¡ Have you been here with any of your exes?¡±
It was only then that Yin Shaojie realized that she was jealous. He stopped in his tracks and reached out to pinch her cheek. ¡°What do you think?¡±
He had already told her that he didn¡¯t like toe to such ces. Why would he apany anyone here then?
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. ¡°How am I supposed to know? You have so many exes that you might have apanied them here before, just that you have forgotten about it.¡±
Suddenly, Yin Shaojie reached out with both his hands and pinched both her cheeks.
He said earnestly, ¡°Don¡¯t mention those things ever again in the future, alright?¡±
Even though he kind of liked to see her jealous, he felt guilty whenever she spoke about his past in that tone.

If he had known that she was that person from her childhood, he would never have dated all those girls.
Mu Xiaoxiao pped hisnd away lightly. ¡°Stop pinching me! Yeah, yeah, I won¡¯t mention it again.¡±
She actually didn¡¯t like bringing it up, but she felt ufortable whenever she remembered how many girls he had dated before.
¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Yin Shaojie tugged on her and walked in.
After purchasing their tickets, the pair entered the amusement park.
¡°What do you want to y?¡± he asked.
Actually, Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t really that interested in amusement parks as she had already been to Disnend several times when she had first gone to America four years ago.
She tapped her lip as she thought. ¡°Let¡¯s just walk around and see what they have first.¡±
She didn¡¯t really like things like roller-coasters or pirate ship rides because they were too exciting.
Yin Shaojie pointed to the highest structure. ¡°Want to go for that?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up just as someone jumped down from it, their shrieks as clear as day even from a distance.
She was shocked. Shaking her head, she said, ¡°No, no, I absolutely don¡¯t want to go on that!¡±
She was already scared stiff just by looking at such stimting attractions.
Yin Shaojie looked a little disappointed as he said, ¡°The bungee jumping height is quite low here anyway. It¡¯s not exciting enough.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
How could he call that low?
The person who had jumped down looked as tiny as a little bird, okay?
Oh yeah, she had almost forgotten that this guy liked extreme sports. The more exciting it was the more he liked it, which was why he liked racing.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°Go and try it if you like it. I¡¯ll apany you there.¡±
¡°It isn¡¯t exciting enough anyway. Let¡¯s go and see what other stuff they have and find what you want to do.¡±
Yin Shaojie pulled her along as he walked in another direction.
However, he hadn¡¯t imagined that Mu Xiaoxiao would insist on getting into bumper cars when she saw them.
Thus, the pair went on the most childish ride of the amusement park, the bumper cars.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked delighted and even roared withughter continuously.
Aftering out from their round of bumper cars, she looked reluctant to part with them.
Yin Shaojie patted her head. ¡°You like it that much, huh? Do you want to ride it again then?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the long queue and shook her head. ¡°No, let¡¯s y something else,¡± she said.
Even though it was still currently school time, making it so that there were fewer tourists in the amusement park, the queue for the bumper cars was still very long as it was an extremely popr attraction.
¡°Okay.¡± Yin Shaojie led the way as he guided her around the park.
The pair were now at the games area. Mu Xiaoxiao saw a particr plushie there and tugged at him as she said, ¡°I want that one! That one!¡±
The owner of the stall knew how to read the mood and said while smiling, ¡°Little girl,e and y. Let your boyfriend win you a plushie.¡±
The stall housed a shooting game. If the target was hit at least five times out of ten, there would be corresponding rewards.
The first prize was a giant teddy bear almost two meters tall.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao had taken a fancy to the second prize. It was a strawberry-shaped plushie that was very cute and girlish.
Even though she hadn¡¯t said anything, Yin Shaojie only took a single nce to know what she wanted.
¡°Do you want it?¡± he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao hugged his arm and nodded, her eyes sparkling. ¡°Yes!¡±
Actually, such a plushie was easily purchasable outside, and Yin Shaojie could get her however many she wanted with his finances.
However, she felt that it would be more significant if it was won through a game!

Yin Shaojie¡¯s sexy lips quirked up. With an arm around her, he walked up to the stall and handed the owner arge note.
A hundred dors could buy two rounds of y, with ten bullets for each round.
The owner knew instantly that he was a wealthy young master from his bearing. Internally, he was delighted ¡ª a big fish had been hooked, and he was going to reap in tons of money.
He smiled slyly as he took out a problematic gun from his store. cing it in front of Yin Shaojie, he exined the rules.
¡°There are ten bullets, and so long as five hit the target, you¡¯ll get a prize. You can see which prize your girlfriend wants.¡±
Standing beside Yin Shaojie, Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the strawberry plushie. It was the second prize, and to win it, there had to be nine hits.
She tugged at his hand and asked softly, ¡°Can you do it?¡±
It couldn¡¯t be easy to have nine hits out of ten, right?
If it was that easy, the stall owner would have been bankrupt long ago.
Yin Shaojie looked a little hesitant as though he was unsure. His maic voice said tentatively, ¡°I don¡¯t know if I can.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had thought that he was really confident and was momentarily stunned. ¡°You can¡¯t?¡±
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes a little. With his lips by her ear, he chastised, ¡°Don¡¯t you dare say ¡®you can¡¯t¡¯ to me ever again. Got that?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled teasingly. ¡°We¡¯ll decide after you win.¡±
¡°Sure,¡± Yin Shaojie said as he nodded. He made her stand a little further before holding up the gun and aiming for the hole in the board.
There were ten holes, and every hole was a different size. Behind the hole was a balloon, and a hit was only counted if the balloon bursts.
¡°Bang ¡ª Bang ¡ª Bang ¡ª¡±
The gun cracked a few shots softly, but only three balloons were burst behind the board.
Mu Xiaoxiao cupped her lips as sheughed and leaned against his arm. ¡°Hahaha¡ are you sure you can do this? You didn¡¯t even hit five!¡±
She thought that he had looked formidable from his starting stance!
Yin Shaojie looked at the gun in his hand.
Nearby, the stall owner was full of smiles as he said, ¡°To have such results in your first try isn¡¯t bad at all! Come, let me refill your bullets for you. You¡¯ll get it after a few more tries.¡±
Yin Shaojie ced the gun on the table. The stall owner picked it up swiftly and looked generous as he refilled the bullets.
Mu Xiaoxiao pushed past Yin Shaojie and said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t look that hard; let me try!¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t fight with her but allowed her to try it.
Mu Xiaoxiao held up the gun. Luckily, it was quite light and wasn¡¯t considered heavy. She shut an eye and aimed for the closest hole.
¡°Bang ¡ª ¡± The gun went.
Surprisingly, the shot went through the hole beside it and burst the balloon.
Mu Xiaoxiao was delighted. Even though it didn¡¯t hit the one she had aimed at, it had hit another balloon sessfully.
Could she actually be a genius sharpshooter?
This instantly filled her with confidence!
She looked at Yin Shaojie proudly and chuckled. ¡°Watch my performance.¡±
However, the second shot was a miss.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked bummed. However, a thought came into her mind ¡ª she didn¡¯t need to get five hits so long she could beat Yin Shaojie¡¯s score.
Thus, she was really serious from then on. However, she only got two hits.
¡°This is so hard¡¡± she said gloomily as she eyed the strawberry plushie again.
There had to be nine hits out of ten to get that plushie. How was that possible!
She tugged at Yin Shaojie¡¯s hand as she said, ¡°Let¡¯s not y anymore. It¡¯s too hard; it¡¯s only going to be a waste of money.¡±
The stall owner was now a little anxious. He had thought that they were rich people who would have spent at least a few hundred or a thousand on his store. Why were they leaving prematurely?

The stall owner said hurriedly, ¡°It¡¯s normal for girls to miss a lot. Let your boyfriend shoot instead; who knows if he¡¯ll hit enough to win something the next round. It¡¯s actually not as hard as you think. Maybe the gun has a problem; I¡¯ll change it for you.¡±
He tried to take away the gun as he said, intending to switch it out for a gun with a better aim.
¡°There¡¯s no need to,¡± Yin Shaojie said. He took out anotherrge bill from his wallet and gave it to the owner. ¡°There¡¯s no need to change the gun. Just refilling the bullets will do.¡±
The stall owner was in a dilemma. ¡°Are you sure? Your aim may improve if the gun is switched. The problem may lie with the feel of the gun sometimes.¡±
¡°Yeah, it¡¯s okay. There¡¯s no need.¡± Yin Shaojie looked nonchnt.
Unable to argue back, the stall owner could only refill his bullets.
Yin Shaojie took up the gun and extended his arm. His dark eyes looked ahead as though he was trying to find his aim.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t understand the purpose of his actions. She didn¡¯t realize that his posture was urate, only thinking that his stance while holding the gun was very dashing, and she couldn¡¯t help but feel some momentary infatuation.
She encouraged him, saying, ¡°All the best!¡±
Anyway, it only cost 50 dors per round if they lost. Since they were out here to y, it was okay if they spent some money.
Yin Shaojie smiled at her, but he broke his stance. He looked at her and said, ¡°Why not make a bet to motivate me?¡±
¡°A bet?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t realize that she had already been caught in a particr demon¡¯s trap.
Yin Shaojie nodded as he smiled and exined, ¡°Isn¡¯t it more interesting if we make a bet?¡±
¡°What do you want to bet then?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that this sounded fun and fell into the trap.
Yin Shaojie pretended to think for a while before saying, ¡°If we¡¯re going to bet, we¡¯ll have to bet on something valuable. How about this: If I can win the plushie you want in ten rounds, you¡¯ll have toply with an order from me. If I can¡¯t win in ten rounds, I¡¯ll have to listen to an order from you. Deal?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao did have some caution and wondered if he was trying to trick her.
However, he had said that he would need ten rounds. Didn¡¯t that mean that he wasn¡¯t very confident?
If he was confident of getting hits, he would have said one round, not ten with that pride of this.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes shed cunningly, and she epted the gamble.
She replied, ¡°Okay! I¡¯ll bet with you!¡±
She thought, ¡®It¡¯ll be interesting to order the Great Master Yin to do something he doesn¡¯t like to do, right? Heheh!¡¯
Yin Shaojie extended his pinky in front of her. ¡°Pinky promise.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was amused as she said, ¡°Pinky promise? We aren¡¯t kindergarten kids.¡±
However, she still smiled as she hooked her pinky with his.
After the ritual wasplete, a darkness shed into Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes.
¡°We¡¯ve pinky promised. If you lose, you can¡¯t turn back on your promise.¡±
He had only done it so that she wouldn¡¯t be able to turn back on her word. Even though it was childish, so be it.
Mu Xiaoxiao snorted as she challenged, ¡°You might not win, so it¡¯s you who shouldn¡¯t break your promise!¡±
The gears in her little brain had already started to turn.
Whatmand should she give him after she won?
Heheheh!
Yin Shaojie smiled. ¡°Do you wish for me to lose? Don¡¯t you want the strawberry plushie anymore?
Mu Xiaoxiao spread her hands out. ¡°I think it¡¯s more important for me to win now. Hurry up and begin!¡±
If she won, she could give him an order. This was so much more fun than getting a strawberry plushie!

¡°Sure.¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s charming lips curled up confidently.
He turned back around and looked at the holes in the board. His gaze changed astonishingly to a sharp and cold one.
Upon hearing that they were going to y ten rounds, the stall owner was really happy. Ten rounds equated to 500 dors!
However, upon meeting Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze, the stall owner¡¯s heart hitched, and he was flooded with a sense of foreboding.
Mu Xiaoxiao also realized now that Yin Shaojie¡¯s aura was different from before.
Just as she was feeling puzzled, she heard the consecutive shots of a gun.
This time, there seemed to be no pause between Yin Shaojie¡¯s shots.
The sound of balloons bursting apanied every shot.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the board, stunned.
Only a few seconds had passed, but all the balloons behind the board had already been burst except for one.
And Yin Shaojie had only fired nine times.
This meant that he had scored every hit!
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mouth was agape, and she was unable to believe her eyes. It was as though everything before her was a fantasy.
¡°J-Just now, you¡¡±
It was only then that she realized that she had fallen into his trap!
The first time, he had onlynded three hits.
However, this time, he had scored every hit even though he did it so fast!
What did this mean?
This meant that he had hid his actual skill!
Mu Xiaoxiao was angry and walked over to punch him. ¡°You lied! You¡¯re a sharpshooter; were you pretending just now?¡±
This guy was too despicable!
Yin Shaojieput down the gun in his hand. He smirked devilishly as he said, ¡°No, I wasn¡¯t pretending the first time round. This gun has a bit of a problem, and I had to get used to it first.¡±
This was the reason he didn¡¯t want the stall owner to change the gun. He had already found his feel for the gun, and if it was changed, he would have to get used to the feel of the new gun again.
Mu Xiaoxiao was gloomy. She used her little hand to hit his arm. ¡°I don¡¯t care! You tricked me!¡±
¡°Are you thinking of going back on your word?¡± Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes as he said this.
Mu Xiaoxiao huffed but didn¡¯t want to admit that she felt like doing so.
She had already pinky promised!
Even though she could still go back on a pinky promise¡
The gears in her brain turned, and she faced him and said, ¡°You still have one shot left. Shoot it and let¡¯s see if you can score a hit first.¡±
If he scored a hit sessfully, it would be ten sessful hits and they would win the grand prize.
However, what they had agreed upon was for him to win the strawberry plushie, which was the second prize.
Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to provoke him on purpose so that he would score ten hits.
Yin Shaojie could see through her tricks, however. Smirking, he shot the gun without looking at the board.
It was a miss!
An angry Mu Xiaoxiao pped his back as she red at him and said, ¡°You missed deliberately!¡±
¡°Of course, didn¡¯t you want the second prize?¡± Yin Shaojie said as a matter of course.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Yin Shaojie took the strawberry plushie from the reluctant clutches of the stall owner and gestured for him to keep the change. Sliding an arm around Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s neck, he led her away from the stall.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, don¡¯t be a sore loser,¡± he said into her ear in a low voice.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face fell, and she looked really gloomy.
She knew that he was going to order her to do something unpleasant just by the look of his sinister gaze!
¡°Hey! D-Don¡¯t you dare go overboard.¡±
¡°Overboard? Yin Shaojie smiled, his voice deathly mesmerizing. ¡°What if that¡¯s exactly what I want?¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him with a red face. ¡°You dare!¡±
If he were to use this order to make her do that thing¡
Yin Shaojie smiled naughtily. He didn¡¯t say anything more as they walked, his arm around her.
On the contrary, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t calm herself down, wondering what order he would give her, and she could no longer focus on having fun anymore.
No. Either way, I¡¯d still have to go through it.
Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao simply grabbed him and asked, ¡°Tell me now, what do you want to do?¡±
He had probably been scheming against her from the beginning, so he should have also thought about what order he would be giving her, right?
Yin Shaojie touched his lower lip and looked very troubled. ¡°Well, I haven¡¯t decided yet.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t believe you! You must have already decided!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that he must be pretending, realizing now what a ck-bellied guy he was!
Yin Shaojie shook his head. ¡°I really haven¡¯t decided yet, but hearing you say that, I think I got it.¡±
¡°What?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao quickly pricked up her ears.
The corner of his mouth turned up. ¡°You haven¡¯t forgotten, have you? You promised me that you would wear the clothes I picked for you to let me see. You haven¡¯t fulfilled that promise yet. Mu Xiaoxiao, aren¡¯t you afraid that your nose will grow longer? How many times have you not kept your word?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Could she pretend not to know what he was saying?
Ugh, it seemed like it wasn¡¯t possible anymore.
¡°Alright¡ I¡¯ll fulfill the promise, okay? What do you want then?¡± Hugging the strawberry plushie, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but give it a punch.
It¡¯s all because of this strawberry plushie. If not for it, she wouldn¡¯t have yed into this demon¡¯s hands.
Yin Shaojie smiled and pinched her cheek. ¡°You said this yourself. If you don¡¯t keep your word again¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smacked away his hand and shot a sidelong nce at him, saying, ¡°I told you I will! Hurry up and tell me what the order is then.¡±
¡°I really haven¡¯t decided yet. Okay, talk about it when we get back. Let¡¯s go y something else then. How about this?¡± Yin Shaojie said, changing the subject.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked over, and her expression was stiff. ¡°Haunted, haunted house? No! Not even if you kill me!¡±
She got scared easily, okay?
Especially of ghosts!
Seeing her refuse to go, Yin Shaojie became even more interested, the corner of his mouth revealing his sinister thoughts. He held her as they walked to that ce. ¡°Come on. I want to y. Just treat it as if you are apanying me. You¡¯ll find it fun once you do it.¡±
¡°How can it be? It won¡¯t be!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao quickly opposed him.
Haunted houses wouldn¡¯t be fun even if you yed them a hundred times or a thousand times, alright?!
¡°Why are you so scared? It won¡¯t eat you. These things are fake. What¡¯s there to be scared of?¡±
¡°You¡¯re not scared, but I am!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao kept shrinking back, looking really scared.
However, the more she showed her dread, the more he wanted to take her in.
Mu Xiaoxiao brushed his hand off and beat him with the plushie. ¡°Are you doing this on purpose? You know that I¡¯m scared, yet you¡¯re still trying to take me in!¡±
Yin Shaojieughed, ¡°You¡¯re mistaken then. Haunted houses are only fun when people are scared. It¡¯d be meaningless if they weren¡¯t scared.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused. What he said seemed to make sense.
But what did this have to do with her?
In any case, she was not going in!
As he pulled Mu Xiaoxiao to the entrance, all kinds of screams could be heard from inside, and she couldn¡¯t stop her hair from standing on end.
Inside¡ Could it really be that horrifying inside?

¡°Jie¡ can we not go in? Let¡¯s not do this, alright? Let¡¯s do something else. There are still many attractions we can go to!¡±
This bastard. He just had to go for the attractions that she was scared of. So mean of him!
¡°But I just want to y this. Just treat it as if you are apanying me, alright?¡± Yin Shaojie was obstinate. Suddenly, he took the plushie from her hands and handed it to the staff for safekeeping.
¡°Hey, hey. Why are you taking my plushie? I want to hold it!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao protested. At least she would feel some sense of security if she had something to hold on to.
But how could Yin Shaojie let her have any other source of security. He alone was enough for her.
¡°If you want to hold on to something, hold on to me,¡± he said, smiling.
Staring at him, Mu Xiaoxiao snorted. ¡°Is that your motive?¡±
Yin Shaojieughed without saying a word, held her hand, and led her into the haunted house.
Just as they went through the entrance, Mu Xiaoxiao felt a chilliness assault her face, and she rubbed her arm.
¡°You, you walk in front!¡± she pushed him, her little hand hugging his arm, holding on to it like it was thest straw she could clutch at, and it was as if she was not going to let anyone try to separate them.
There were two paths ahead to choose from.
Yin Shaojie asked, ¡°You choose which way to go.¡±
Troubled, Mu Xiaoxiao looked left and right. ¡°Which way is faster?¡±
¡°How would I know?¡± Yin Shaojieughed, watching her little face. It was rare to see her being so dependent on him. It really made him feel good.
¡°Um¡ well¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao tapped her finger on her lips uneasily as she hummed and hawed.
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Just choose one randomly. It should be about the same.¡±
¡°Then, then let¡¯s go by the left,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said before changing her mind immediately, ¡°Right! Right, right side!¡±
Though that was what she said, her feet still didn¡¯t move.
Yin Shaojie looked at her funny. ¡°So is it left or right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shot a re at him. ¡°I¡¯m confused! I was trying hard to make a decision, okay! Why don¡¯t you choose then! You choose!¡±
¡°Then I choose the left side,¡± Yin Shaojie said simply.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao deliberately took a different position against him, saying, ¡°Let¡¯s go to the right then!¡±
As she said that, she pulled him to right side path lest he resist.
In the first ce, it didn¡¯t matter to Yin Shaojie which way they went, so he just went along with her.
Just as they walked away, another couple entered behind them.
The boy subconsciously went to the right but the girl stopped her. ¡°Don¡¯t go to the right, the right side is super scary! I was scared to death when I was halfway through it thest time I tried. I heard that there were only a few people who managed to exit taking the right side. Let¡¯s just take the left side, alright?¡±
The boys asked quizzically, ¡°But if you¡¯reing to a haunted house for fun, isn¡¯t it more interesting the scarier it is?¡±
The girl scolded him, ¡°Are you dumb! We¡¯re just here for casual entertainment. If we happened to get traumatized, we¡¯ll have nightmares! Thest time I went through the right side, I had nightmares for a few nights. I¡¯m not going to the right side again. If you want to, then go yourself.¡±
With that said, she abandoned her boyfriend.
The boy nced at the path on the right. It was so dark that it seemed like he couldn¡¯t see anything inside.
Suddenly, he felt a chill crawl up his back, causing him to shudder unknowingly.
He quickly caught up to his girlfriend and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. ¡°Wait for me. I didn¡¯t say I was definitely going to go that side. Of course, I have toe with you.¡±
The girl happily hugged his waist. ¡°Only a fool would take the other route. It¡¯s horrifying. Let¡¯s just go this way.¡±

Then, deep along the path on the right.
When Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie came to the end of the path, they found a door and pushed it open.
Unexpectedly, it seemed like a dpidated hospital. It was very eerie all around and gave off a particrly scary vibe.
Mu Xiaoxiao trembled, her legs bing jelly almost immediately, and she frantically tugged on Yin Shaojie. ¡°Let, let¡¯s not go here. Let¡¯s go back to the path on the left!¡±
She couldn¡¯t take it anymore!
This scene was already enough to scare her.
If any more horrible characters were to appear, she was afraid that she would go delirious.
The more she ruminated the more afraid she felt as she tugged Yin Shaojie toward the path of retreat.
Yin Shaojie looked around. The scene was indeed quite terrifying. It was no wonder she would be scared.
Just as the two retreated a few steps, they suddenly heard some strange music ying.
¡°Ah!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was so scared that she hugged Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm tightly and said in a fluster, ¡°I don¡¯t want to be here! I want to go out. I want to go out!¡±
Feeling something soft pressing against his arm, he was startled for a moment.
But Mu Xiaoxiao was oblivious to it. She hugged his arm even tighter and kept moving about nervously.
Then, Yin Shaojie could even more clearly feel her chest rubbing against him.
That sensation was just killing!
How could he even entertain the thought of whatever scary atmosphere they were in? His mind was filled with perverted thought bubbles.
His maic voice was a little husky as he said, ¡°I told you this was all fake. It¡¯s not real. Don¡¯t scare yourself.¡±
¡°Uh-huhhh, I¡¯m afraid!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stomped her feet and protested.
Even if he wasn¡¯t scared, couldn¡¯t he allow others to be scared?
Mu Xiaoxiao stubbornly pulled him toward the door from which they came in.
However, when she reached her hand out to open the door, she couldn¡¯t pull it. The door seemed to be locked.
Her expression instantly became stiff, and her voice shook as she said, ¡°The door, the door won¡¯t open¡¡±
Yin Shaojie went to pull the door, but it really couldn¡¯t be opened.
¡°Then we have no choice but to go forward.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked like she was about to cry. ¡°I don¡¯t want to! I don¡¯t want to go forward!¡±
Yin Shaojie wrapped his long arm around her shoulders and patted her to calm her down. ¡°Close your eyes then. Don¡¯t look, and you won¡¯t be afraid. I will take you out.¡±
Seeing that she was really frightened, shivering throughout her body, he felt a little regretful. He wouldn¡¯t have gone so far if he knew she would be like this.
It was just that he had never guessed that the haunted house could be so horrifying. He thought that it would just be the typical level of horror.
Mu Xiaoxiao had no other choice. She couldn¡¯t go back from whence she came. If she didn¡¯t go forward, then she would have to stay in the same spot. Wouldn¡¯t that be more terrifying?
So upon considering, she nodded and walked with him calmly.
Luckily, she had him by his side.
Mu Xiaoxiao had never felt that Yin Shaojie was so important as in this particr moment.
Heeding his words, she closed her eyes as he led her forward.
It seemed like something was running toward them!
Mu Xiaoxiao was frightened from just the sound of footsteps, but she still closed her eyes tightly, refusing to open them. She gripped Yin Shaojie with even greater force as if she was itching to grow herself on his body.
After walking two steps, a strange noise was heard again.
Mu Xiaoxiao shuddered. Then, Yin Shaojie covered her ears with his hand.
¡°Don¡¯t be afraid,¡± he said to calm her.

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao stretched her arms out to hug his waist.
She said in a soft voice, ¡°It doesn¡¯t seem that scary.¡±
Hearing this, Yin Shaojie smiled. Not scary? If she were to open her eyes and see the scene in front of her, she probably wouldn¡¯t have said this.
Fortunately, he was tough enough mentally to be able to remain unperturbed.
He had to admit that this was really the wrong path to take.
It was obvious that the path on the right was the upgraded version.
Given Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s timidity, they should have chosen the path on the left.
Yin Shaojie was quite regretful. He hadn¡¯t expected her to be so afraid. He thought that at most some of the haunted house crew would dress up as some scary characters to jump out and scare them.
Mu Xiaoxiao muttered softly again, ¡°When are we getting out? Why does it feel like we¡¯ve been walking for a long time?¡±
¡°We should be getting to the end soon,¡± Yin Shaojie said.
There was another door ahead. He wasn¡¯t afraid, so he reached out his hand to push open the door.
The lights behind the door flickered, and Yin Shaojie said subconsciously, ¡°Walk carefully¡¡±
Before he could finish talking, a group of zombies suddenly came running from the side, and their makeup was quite realistic.
Mu Xiaoxiao was frightened from the sound of hurried footsteps. ¡°What¡¯s happening? What¡¯s happening? Did some monster appear?¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go quickly!¡± Yin Shaojie looked grave as he quickly led her away.
¡°Wait a minute¡ª¡ªah!¡± Something suddenly grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand.
¡°Xiaoxiao!¡±
Just then, the lights went off, and all he could see was darkness.
Yin Shaojie stood rooted in ce as he tried to locate Mu Xiaoxiao.
Then he heard Mu Xiaoxiao shouting in fright, ¡°Jie! Where are you? Where are you? I¡¯m so scared! I¡¯m so scared! I¡¯m so scared! Ah!¡±
Hearing her screaming, his heart became tense.
He said calmly, ¡°Stay where you are and don¡¯t move. I will go and find you right now.¡±
However, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly became silent, and he could only hear the sound of rapid breathing.
Yin Shaojie had sharp hearing. However, all he heard was the zombies¡¯ messy footsteps behind him.
¡°Xiaoxiao?¡± he called out.
Then Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly screamed, ¡°Ah¡ª¡ªJie! Save me! Help!¡±
A sharp shriek. Then it was silent again.
Yin Shaojie frowned as he walked along the direction where her scream came from. ¡°Xiaoxiao? What¡¯s the matter?¡±
However, no one replied to him.
Yin Shaojie only felt a chill in his heart. An indescribable feeling gripped him.
Dammit!
What a shitty haunted house!
Just then, the lights turned on. Yin Shaojie raised his hand to block out the re and quickly adapted to the brightness.
The lights returned to its previous flickering state.
Yin Shaojie looked around but didn¡¯t see Mu Xiaoxiao anywhere.
He clenched his fist and shouted sternly, ¡°Xiaoxiao? Where are you?¡±
But no one responded to him in the empty space.
Yin Shaojie suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness. Did something happen to her?
Even if it was a haunted house, they couldn¡¯t grab away the guests, could they?
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t care about all this anymore, his heart beating in a fluster, feeling deeply regretful.
Damned! They shouldn¡¯t have gone into the haunted house!
After turning the corner, it was only a small space with nowhere to hide. Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t know where Mu Xiaoxiao could have gone. He thought for a moment, and he decided to hurry out of the haunted house and contact the staff.

He had to check if something had gone wrong in the haunted house. If not, how could people just disappear for no reason?
Along theter half of the route, Yin Shaojie looked grave. He didn¡¯t stop for even a moment as he quickly passed through the haunted house. Any monsters that jumped out couldn¡¯t scare him. Some were even scared from the look that he was giving.
Finallying out of the haunted house.
Compared to the gloomy darkness inside, the sunlight outside was very bright and refreshing.
Just as Yin Shaojie was about to find the staff for help, he saw Mu Xiaoxiao smiled delightedly, standing before him with her arms open.
The staff member next to her pped his hands and said with a smile, ¡°Congrattions! Ever since our haunted house opened, not many people have managed to walk out from taking the path on the right. You are the fastest one toplete it.¡±
The others around him also apuded.
But Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t care about these people and went straight for Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao opened her arms, awaiting his hug.
Yin Shaojie frowned with a slightly cold and serious look in his eyes.
When he walked up to her, Mu Xiaoxiao smiled cockily and said, ¡°You don¡¯t know how I came out, right? Were you scared? You thought I was grabbed by the monster? I punked you!¡±
Looking grave, his long arms stretched out and pulled her into his embrace.
Very tightly, he hugged her.
Mu Xiaoxiao also hugged him back, but she soon realized that he was using a lot of force. She then frowned ufortably, patted his back, and said, ¡°You¡¯re hugging too tightly. Loosen up a little.¡±
But Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t loosen his grip and increased the forced instead as if he was trying to press her into his body.
Dammit!
He cursed again and again in his heart.
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled when she saw his contorted expression. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Are you angry?¡±
Looking gloomy, Yin Shaojie put one hand down used it to smack her butt forcefully.
¡°Yes!¡± he replied bluntly.
Not knowing that she was in trouble, Mu Xiaoxiao still smiled and said, ¡°Hahahaha, my acting was very realistic, right? You really believed it? You¡¯re killing me! Yin Shaojie, when did you be so easy to trick?¡±
Yin Shaojie was so mad that he smacked her butt a few more times.
Did this wretch know just how worried he was?
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes as he stared at her and said, ¡°Very good. You¡¯re very happy, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stoppedughing. She felt that his eyes were looking very dangerous.
¡°Uh¡ I was just kidding. Don¡¯t be so serious. Gimme a smile! Gimme a smile!¡±
She grinned at him, trying to elicit a smile from him.
But Yin Shaojie just wouldn¡¯t smile, and his handsome face still remained stiff.
Mu Xiaoxiao then realized that she had gone over the top, so she quickly lowered her head and apologized, ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡ Don¡¯t be angry, okay?¡±
Yin Shaojie scanned at those onlookers crowding around. Perhaps he felt that they were in the way, so he pulled her as they went forward.
¡°Hey! Wait up! I haven¡¯t taken my plushie yet!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pointed in the distance where the staff were gesturing to her about the plushie.
Upon seeing the plushie, Yin Shaojie held her as they went back to take the plushie, and off they went again.
Mu Xiaoxiao cast a furtive nce to his expression. He was still looking grim. Was he really angry?
She said, ¡°Don¡¯t you want to know how I got out of there? Actually, the ce I hid turned out to be an exit halfway down the route. I heard the staff saying that they set up an exit in the middle because many people couldn¡¯t manage to get out taking this route. Who knew I would be so lucky to find it and escape from there.¡±

Actually, it was because there was a fluorescent sign in the corner.
In order to scare Yin Shaojie and prevent him from noticing that she had already gone out, she even covered the fluorescent sign with something.
Seeing that he was still keeping silent, she pouted and grumbled, ¡°I only did it because you tricked me before! So I just¡ wanted to scare you. Don¡¯t be angry, okay?¡±
¡°Not okay,¡± Yin Shaojie replied bluntly.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Did he need to answer so bluntly!
She looked at him gloomily, thinking, ¡®What should I do next in order to humor him?¡¯
But, where was he taking her?
Mu Xiaoxiao noticed that he seemed to be looking for somece as he kept scanning left and right.
Puzzled, she asked, ¡°Where are you taking me?¡±
He replied, ¡°Somece¡±
Somece where he could spend some time alone with her without anyone else around.
¡°Where are you looking for?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao felt that his tone was strange.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t reply again. He held her as they walked up to the Ferris wheel.
¡°You should like this ride, right?¡± he suddenly said.
Mu Xiaoxiao nced at the towering Ferris wheel, nodded, and said, ¡°I do.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s take this then,¡± Yin Shaojie said as he took her up to it.
Perhaps they were just lucky as there was no one was waiting in line, and the Ferris wheel was just ending its previous run.
Mu Xiaoxiao gazed at his handsome face. ¡°Do you like the Ferris wheel too?¡±
It should be her turn to humor him now. Why was he picking the one that she wanted to do?
She suddenly felt that she couldn¡¯t understand him.
He obviously looked angry, yet he still took her to the Ferris wheel. She really didn¡¯t know what he was thinking.
The staff smiled and said to them, ¡°You can go up now.¡±
Yin Shaojie took her up and went into the cabin.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him gloomily and said, ¡°Are you nning to give me the silent treatment?¡±
¡°No.¡±
He still dared to say no! He was being so cold toward her.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and red at him. ¡°If you talk like this again, I¡¯m going to get angry. I don¡¯t like the way you are talking to me.¡±
He seemed like he was just being half-hearted with her, his attitude so indifferent as he only responded with curt answers.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mood instantly turned sour.
¡°I don¡¯t like you cheating me like that either. Do you know how worried I was at that time? Do you know!¡± Yin Shaojie said in a heavier tone.
Mu Xiaoxiao also felt guilty as her mouth shriveled, and she said in a pitiful tone, ¡°You were the one who insisted on taking me into the haunted house! I already told you that I didn¡¯t want to go, yet you still insisted. I told you I was afraid!¡±
So did he specially took her up to the Ferris wheel only to quarrel with her?
Mu Xiaoxiao was very upset. She didn¡¯t wish to quarrel with him!
Were they going to quarrel after only being together for such a short while?
She didn¡¯t like quarreling!
Yin Shaojie breathed heavily, his ck eyes locked onto her little face as he watched her dark eyes slowly be watery.
In the first ce, he was already a mess of emotions.
He regretted taking her into the haunted house that made her so frightened. He thought that something bad had happened to her, his body in a frightful chill from the thought of it. Then, he realized that it was this wretch who had punked him. In the same moment that he felt relief, he couldn¡¯t help but get angry over how she had tricked him.
Of course he knew that he was wrong¡
¡°No crying!¡± he shouted at her.
He just didn¡¯t wish to see her cry. Trying to stop her from crying, his voice turned out harsh again as he was unable to hold himself back in time.

With that shout, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s tears fell.
Yin Shaojie sighed. He reached out to hold her face while his other hand grasped her waist and pulled her up to him, his head bending down to kiss her lips.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled for a moment. His kiss felt as if it carriedforting and apologetic sentiments and also some impatience.
She closed her eyes, reached out her hands, and hugged his back.
Yin Shaojie licked her lips with his tongue as if he was outlining the shape of her lips, and then his hot tongue slipped into her little mouth.
As Mu Xiaoxiao felt pain from his forceful caressing motion, she wed at his back.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze deepened, and he sucked directly on her little tongue.
¡°Oh¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao let out a sweet moan.
The mood was getting sultry. Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes seemed unfocused, then her eyes unconsciously looked to the side and saw that their cabin had already risen up.
They were about to reach the top.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly pushed him away hurriedly.
Passionate mes were still burning in Yin Shaojie¡¯s ck pupils. Apparently, he still had not kissed enough of her.
He stared at her, puzzled.
Mu Xiaoxiao was blushing, her breathing in a mess because of him. She adjusted herself and took another look outside.
After confirming that the Ferris wheel cabin had reached the highest point, she put her hands on his handsome face, and her little face took on a very serious look as she said. ¡°Yin Shaojie, I like you!¡±
I like you so, so much.
With that said, she took the initiative to go up to him and kiss his sexy thin lips.
Although Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t understand what she was doing, he was very cooperative. As she kissed him, he smoothly wrapped his arms around her slender waist and deepened the kiss.
The two resumed their passionate kiss.
Unwittingly, the Ferris wheel cabin was already reaching its end, so Yin Shaojie released her, looking as if he hadn¡¯t had his fill.
A staff member stood outside smiling, ready to open the door for him.
Yin Shaojie kept Xiaoxiao close by his side lest others saw how intoxicated she looked after the kiss.
He shot a sharp instructive nce to the staff member, gesturing to him that they were not going down and were going again.
The staff memberwas in a difficult position. But after seeing Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression, they paused and finally nodded.
In Yin Shaojie¡¯s arms, Mu Xiaoxiao recovered her senses, and her little face, which was hiding behind him, poked out to have a look.
Then she saw that the Ferris wheel starting to move again.
She asked, ¡°Are we not getting off?¡±
¡°We¡¯ll sit for another round.¡±
Because of the kiss, Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice was a little husky and very sexy.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt d. Luckily, the staff member was a male. If he was a woman, she wouldn¡¯t be too happy letting her hear his sexy voice.
She snuggled into his warm embrace, leaning on his sturdy chest and listening to his strong heartbeat.
As the cabin slowly rose, they watched the distant scenery.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t continue the hot kiss but gave a warm kiss to her temple to allow her to recover slowly.
He asked in his deep voice, ¡°Was there any special meaning to what you did earlier?¡±
With a certain thought in mind, Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, ¡°Oh, that. Haven¡¯t you heard about the legend of the Ferris wheel?¡±
¡°What legend?¡± His arms tightened, hugging her closer.
Mu Xiaoxiao liked to lean onto him, listening to the sound of his subwoofer-like voice by her ear. It felt veryforting.

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°The legend of the Ferris wheel is that when the cabin reaches the highest point, if the couple confess their love and kiss, they will be together forever.¡±
And they would never be apart.
Although Mu Xiaoxiao knew that the legend was very childish, as long as she thought there was even the remote possibility that she could be with him forever because of this wish, she was willing to be silly for once.
Yin Shaojie looked down at her silly smile, and his heart throbbed faintly.
So was that how much she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him?
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up at his contemtive expression and asked, ¡°You¡¯re not angry anymore, right?¡±
Yin Shaojie propped his chin on her shoulder, arching the corner of his mouth, and he deliberately said, ¡°I¡¯m still quite angry.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and said gloomily, ¡°Why are you still angry? I¡¯m not even angry anymore from thest time that you tricked me.¡±
¡°You¡¯re really not angry now?¡± he asked.
¡°Mm! Mm!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded.
Yin Shaojie pretended to contemte and said, ¡°Okay then. Then I won¡¯t be angry anymore too.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao burst into a smile.
¡°However¡¡± he deliberately left her hanging, his eyes narrowing as he looked down at her and said, ¡°You scared me, so I¡¯m feeling a little depressed now.¡±
¡°I scared you?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. Wasn¡¯t she clearly the one who was scared?
Looking up at his eyes, she then understood why he said that he was scared.
So he was very worried about her¡
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt guilty again.
She leaned over to hug his neck and said in a helpless manner, ¡°Then what should I do to calm your frightened little heart?¡±
She had just taken the initiative to confess to him and kiss him. What else did he want her to do!
Yin Shaojie took a look at their current altitude and said, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you in a while.¡±
¡°Why do we have to wait?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
Yin Shaojie shushed her and removed her from his arms so that the two sat face to face.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him.
Yin Shaojie smiled faintly, paying attention to the height of their cabin.
¡°Reaching.¡±
What was reaching? Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t able to process it yet.
Finally, the cabin had reached the highest point. Yin Shaojie held her cheeks in his hands, his eyes staring at hers with deep sincerity and affection. ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, I love you.¡±
A strong jolt shook Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart.
He said¡ love!
After saying those words, Yin Shaojie bent his head and kissed her.
Mu Xiaoxiao finally realized that he was doing what she had done earlier.
Her heart instantly felt a surge of warmth. So just like her, he wanted to be together with her forever.
Mu Xiaoxiao reached out and sped his head.
This time, their kiss was very warm and sweet.
However, Yin Shaojie only kissed her for a short moment before releasing her.
But Mu Xiaoxiao felt that it was enough, so she looked at him with a puzzled expression as if she was asking him why he wanted to stop.
The Ferris wheel wasn¡¯ting to a stop yet.
Yin Shaojie said with a smile, ¡°Let¡¯s continue this at the hotel.¡±
They had already taken their second ride. They couldn¡¯t keep doing it.
He wanted to give her some time to recover lest other people saw how she looked after kissing.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded in a daze. ¡°Okay¡¡±
Then, she suddenly realized what he had said. ¡°Hotel?¡±
What did he mean by continuing at the hotel?
¡°Yeah.¡± The corner of his mouth turned up in a wicked smile, his finger suggestively stroking her delicate cheeks. ¡°You still owe me an order, and my order is: Let¡¯s get a room!¡±
¡°Huh?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him stupidly.

¡°You¡ you¡¡± She stared nkly for a while and couldn¡¯t find the words to say, feeling as if the cat had gotten her tongue.
Yin Shaojie pinched her cheek wickedly. ¡°You said that you would honor the promise this time. No going back on your word!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
How did he know that she wanted to go back on her word?
Her guts had already turned green from regret, alright?!
How, how could he propose such an¡ outrageous order!
The cabin had just reached the ground. The staff opened the door from outside, looked at them with a smile, and said, ¡°Please be careful.¡±
¡°Thank you,¡± Yin Shaojie said mildly, holding Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand as they walked out.
They got off the Ferris wheel.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly halted. Her face was red as she asked, ¡°A-are we going now?¡±
Wasn¡¯t it too early now?
Did he need to be rush it!
A-and, she hadn¡¯t found an excuse yet. No, she must find an excuse to make him forget this matter.
The corner of his mouth lifted. He stared attentively at her with his obsidian-like eyes and asked, ¡°Are you in a hurry? If you want to go now, then I¡¯m¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly shook her head, waved her hand, and said, ¡°Of course not!¡±
¡°No? Really? We¡¯ll have more time left if we were to go now.¡± He analyzed it very seriously.
Almost immediately, Mu Xiaoxiao understood what he was implying, and her face became redder.
What he was saying about having more time¡
¡°No, I-I haven¡¯t yed enough yet!¡± she said, pointing to the attractions around her. ¡°Look at that and over there. There¡¯s still the underwater world. I also want to see dolphins. Yeah. And penguins. They¡¯re my favorite!¡±
Her top priority right now was to first stall for time.
Then, she had to run through her smart little head what excuses she could possiblye up with so that they wouldn¡¯t get a room at the hotel.
Yin Shaojie stared at her fixedly.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes was shaking faintly with nervousness as though she was worried that he would discover her n.
¡°N-now, it¡¯s still early. Do you need to be in such a rush¡¡±
Yin Shaojieughed, ¡°Me? In a rush? When did I say that I was going to get a room right now? You¡¯re the one imagining things, right? Why, are you eagerly looking forward to it already?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little face getting hot as she rebutted, ¡°I¡¯m not eagerly looking forward to it!¡±
Though that was what she said, his words had evoked a fantasy in her mind¡ªthe scene of him showing his well-built upper body¡
Her heart thumped, and she even swallowed her saliva unwittingly.
¡°You¡¯re really not eagerly looking forward to it?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s deep ck eyes seemed prating, the ck-bellied smile from the corner of his mouth made it seem like he already knew what she was thinking.
Mu Xiaoxiao hurried ahead, attempting to avoid his stare.
If she allowed him to keep staring at her like this, she felt like she was going to burn up.
¡°Okay, let¡¯s go quickly then! Let¡¯s go to the underwater world. I want to see the penguins.¡±
With a single hand in his pocket, Yin Shaojie walked two steps forward with his long legs and caught up to her.
He wrapped his arm around her neck and said in his maic voice beside her ear. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m not in that much of a rush. We¡¯ll go there at night. I¡¯ll give you some time to prepare yourself mentally.¡±
¡°You¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him blushingly, and her mouth shriveled as she mumbled, ¡°Do we really have to go¡¡±
He clearly said that he wouldn¡¯t force her and that he would let her slowly get used to it.
Then, why would he suddenly want to get a room?
He was really¡ Humph! He didn¡¯t keep his word! He couldn¡¯t be trusted!

Yin Shaojie¡¯s warm breath wafted pass her cheeks intermittently as he said in a deep voice, ¡°Do you think¡ I want to eat you up?¡±
¡°What else?¡± she looked at him bashfully.
Yin Shaojie smiled. ¡°Of course not, but it is simr.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him puzzled.
It was not, but it was simr. What exactly did that mean?
She mumbled, ¡°What exactly does that mean?¡±
Yin Shaojie sorted out the thoughts in his mind, figuring out a way to tell her in a way that wouldn¡¯t scare her.
Doesn¡¯t this wretch know? Even if they weren¡¯t going for the full course, there were still a lot of things that couples could do in bed.
He did say that he would let her slowly adapt to his physical intimacy, but he didn¡¯t say that he would just do nothing.
He was a man of action. Of course, he had to use his own means to get things in motion.
Yin Shaojie was already visualizing it in his mind.
When they get a room tonight, he would this and that to her¡
He pulled her toward him, his thin lips speaking beside her ear, describing simply in a few sentences what he nned to do with her.
Mu Xiaoxiao listened, and then she stared nkly.
She pushed him away forcefully, blushed, and feigned her anger coquettishly. ¡°Dirty!¡±
¡°You call that dirty? I haven¡¯t mentioned the details yet.¡± Yin Shaojie looking flippant and shameless with his arms around her shoulder.
¡°You can¡¯t say it!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao yelled. Thinking about what he had just said, her heartbeat was going crazy.
Yin Shaojie smiled. ¡°Okay, I won¡¯t say it. I¡¯ll do it with you at night.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao elbowed him. ¡°Who¡¯s doing these things with you! You rogue!¡±
Yin Shaojie stared at her and said with dissatisfaction, ¡°Hey, Mu Xiaoxiao, are you really not afraid that your nose will grow longer? Are you going to go back on your word again? Also, I¡¯m telling you, you will be fulfilling the promise to wear the clothes I pick for you tonight.¡±
He thought that this idea was not bad.
He imagined the look of her wearing sexyce pajamas, lying on the bed waiting for him.
He suddenly felt dry in the mouth and throat. He almost couldn¡¯t wait until night time.
Hearing him say that to her, Mu Xiaoxiao stopped her bawling, only drooping her face looking gloomy.
Though they weren¡¯t going for the full course¡
But upon thinking about the things he mentioned, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t stop her heart from beating faster.
Goodness gracious!
Did she really have to obey everything he said and allow him to do those things to her?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face puckered, starting to rack her brains. What possible excuse could shee up with so that they wouldn¡¯t have to get a room at the hotel?
How agonizing! Why couldn¡¯t she think of an excuse!
Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face looked serious as he said deliberately, ¡°If you really don¡¯t want me to touch you, then forget it¡¡±
Then, he released her hand.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt something tugging at her heart, and she hugged his arm and said appeasingly, ¡°Aiyoh! That¡¯s not what I meant! I¡¯m just¡ embarrassed.¡±
Yin Shaojie gazed fixedly on her little face, then went up to kiss her.
¡°Aren¡¯t you silly? It¡¯s normal to be embarrassed. That¡¯s why you need more physical interactions so that you can get used to it. If you are always going to remain embarrassed and not try to adapt to it, then are you nning on not letting me touch you forever?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
What he said seemed to make a lot of sense!
It did make sense¡
If she were to only dwell in that embarrassment and not try to change, then they couldn¡¯t just stay in that kissing phase forever, could they? They would have to take the next step sooner orter.
So she needed to ovee herself.

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, ¡°Okay¡ I get it now.¡±
¡°Good girl.¡± Yin Shaojie guided her to the sea aquarium. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Didn¡¯t you want to look at the penguins? What else do you want to do? I¡¯ll apany you.¡±
After having enough fun and bing tired, we¡¯ll do that at night! Heheheh!
Mu Xiaoxiao was pulled around by him. However, the gears in her head still turned as though she still wasn¡¯t going to give up finding excuses.
The pair had fun till evening.
Originally, if Yin Shaojie hadn¡¯t arranged ns for the night, he would have wanted to apany Xiaoxiao to watch the parade and fireworks, as the amusement park at night had exciting attractions as well.
However, it was alright. They could do those another day.
Yin Shaojie drove Mu Xiaoxiao out of the amusement park to a high-end Japanese restaurant.
This restaurant¡¯s decor was superb, and it made one feel as though there had been transported to Japan.
They sat on tatami mats. Outside, there was a bamboo water fountain. When the bamboo was filled with water, it dropped down and knocked against the stone pleasantly.
Mu Xiaoxiao had been gazing at the scenery outside. It was now sunset and orange-gold light dyed the night horizon, painting a really beautiful picture of the sky.
¡°This is so pretty andfortable¡¡±
She cupped her chin with her hands and sighed deeply.
The evening breeze seeped in from the wooden door and caressed her face. It was cool andfortable.
The Japanese cuisine they had ordered was delivered to them swiftly.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the table full of food, and her appetite instantly roared.
Yin Shaojie put some noodles into a small bowl and ced it in front of her. ¡°Have some noodle and soup first.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her head. She took her bowl and started to eat from it, but her dark eyes were scanning the table, looking like a fine example of eyeing the pot while still eating from the bowl.
Yin Shaojie chuckled as he picked up a piece of salmon.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked in the direction of his chopsticks and happened to see¡ fresh oysters beside it.
She was stunned and couldn¡¯t help but recall what oysters did to men.
Noticing that weird look on her face, Yin Shaojie looked in the direction of her gaze. Seeing the oysters, he immediately understood what this girl was thinking about in that little brain of hers.
He waved his chopsticks in front of her and cut through her vision.
¡°Did you think I ordered that deliberately?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed, ¡°What else can it be? Did the restaurant gift this to us then?¡±
Yin Shaojie cocked a brow and said frankly, ¡°Do you really think I need this?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Her little face had a dust of pink on it, and she said a little awkwardly, ¡°H-How am I supposed to know whether you need it or not!¡±
¡°You¡¯ll know tonight,¡± Yin Shaojie said.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Why did she feel as though she had dug a hold for herself and jumped into it?
She said hurriedly, ¡°I wasn¡¯t trying to question¡ your prowess in that area! You were the one who ordered these dishes, and I-I only happened to see it. Is that my fault?¡±
Yin Shaojie exined, ¡°They were in the meal set. I didn¡¯t order them specially.¡±
¡°How was I supposed to know!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to bother with him anymore, for there was no point in continuing their argument. Thus, she lowered her head and continued to eat her noodles, deciding not to reply to this conversation anymore.
However, Yin Shaojie maintained his silence.
It was only after Mu Xiaoxiao finished her noodles and lifted her head that she noticed him frowning with a weird expression as he looked outside.
Subconsciously, she asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is there someone outside?¡±
She looked out as well.

There was no one. There was only a beautiful scenery with no sign of anyone else.
¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Yin Shaojie turned his attention away and his expression returned to normal as he picked up a piece of grilled eel for her.
Mu Xiaoxiao pushed his chopsticks away. ¡°I don¡¯t want this. I want some sushi.¡±
There was amusement in Yin Shaojie¡¯s face. He said pointedly, ¡°You should eat more and fill yourself up, because you¡¯ll be using up a lot of energy tonight.¡±
¡°¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao refused to answer, but her ears turned red, clearly understanding his meaning.
When she was eating, Yin Shaojie darted a look outside again.
Just then, Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to recall something and lifted her head suddenly.
¡°Aiya! I¡¯ve forgotten again!¡±
¡°What have you forgotten?¡± Yin Shaojie asked.
Vexed, Mu Xiaoxiao knocked on her head and said gloomily, ¡°News of Annie! Aish, why do I keep forgetting things recently? How could I have forgotten something so important? Oh yeah, is there any news from the people you¡¯ve asked to investigate this?¡±
It was evident that Yin Shaojie had not forgotten this as he said mildly, ¡°I think so.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to locate an excuse and said anxiously, ¡°What do you mean by that? It¡¯s been so many days already and I still don¡¯t know how she is. I¡¯m really worried for her!¡±
Yin Shaojie shot a look at her and smirked. ¡°Are you sure you¡¯re really worried about her?¡±
If she was really worried, she wouldn¡¯t have forgotten about it so many times, right?
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
He had seen through her again¡
Yin Shaojie looked at her as he tore off a piece of meat from a king crab and ced it into her bowl. ¡°You¡¯ve been forgetting about it everyday. Do you really have the face to say that you¡¯re really worried for her?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao lowered her head and pushed her fingers together guiltily.
She said ashamedly, ¡°There were too many things going on the past few days¡¡±
She seemed to hear a snort ofughter from Yin Shaojie.
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head and red at him huffily.
¡°Hurry up and eat.¡± Yin Shaojie pointed at the crab meat in her bowl.
This was something she liked to eat. Without standing on ceremony, Mu Xiaoxiao picked it up and ate it. The deliciousness flooded her tastebuds and she calmed down.
She chewed on her chopsticks as she looked at him and said, ¡°Actually, I¡¯m really worried about Annie, just that you don¡¯t know it. On the other hand, however, I¡¯m actually quite at ease regarding her, because I know nothing bad will happen to her.¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at her, puzzled. He asked, ¡°What do you mean? Isn¡¯t she here in China alone? She¡¯s a girl alone in a foreign country, and it isn¡¯t exactly safe in our country because there are a lot of bad people out there. How can you be so sure that nothing will happen to her?¡±
¡°How do I put this¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked up at the ceiling and thought for a while.
She then said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll put it this way. Annie has a really miraculous quality.¡±
Miraculous quality?
Yin Shaojie looked at her curiously and gestured for her to continue.
Mu Xiaoxiao bit her lip and continued, ¡°Um¡ for example, everyone will experience bad luck, right? However, for some inexplicable reason, any unlucky thing that happens to her will be averted. I remember that someone wanted to kidnap her once, but the kidnapper somehow drove to the police station himself, turned himself in, and was arrested just like that. Weird, huh?¡±
Yin Shaojie was speechless.
This time, it was him who had such an expression on his face.
¡°It¡¯s that miraculous? Could it be just a coincidence?¡± he asked a little dubiously.
Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged. ¡°You could say that it¡¯s a coincidence. It could be considered¡ good luck? Having Heaven¡¯s favor? Anyway, the people around Annie speak of her in this way, saying that she must be loved and cared for by the Heavens.¡±
Chapter 602 - We Did Get a Room
Chapter 602: We Did Get a Room
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Also, it wasn¡¯t a one off incident that happened only during the kidnapping, but a few times where Annie had luckily avoided everything unlucky. Oh yeah, I remember there was one such incident on a rainy day. We were all standing by the roadside in a row waiting for the bus to arrive. There was an iing car which sshed us all with water from head to toe, but Annie was the only one who didn¡¯t get wet at all. It really does seem like she¡¯s favored by the Heavens, don¡¯t you think?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao started to gush and ramble as she broached this topic.
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help but smile at the miraculousness of the events.
Mu Xiaoxiao said a little jealously, ¡°Say, isn¡¯t this girl¡¯s luck really good?¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded. ¡°Yep.¡±
However, Mu Xiaoxiao still rubbed her nose guiltily. ¡°Even so, I should have worried about her. After all, she¡¯s unacquainted with everyone and everything over here, and I don¡¯t know if her luck will still be in effect.¡±
¡°Yeah. I¡¯ll make a call to ask about how their investigations are going.¡±
Yin Shaojie said as he took out his phone and made a call.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiao had no appetite. She set her chopsticks down.
Suddenly, she had a good idea. ¡°Oh yeah! I can call and ask Shijun about it too. Maybe he has some news for me.¡±
Thus, she took out her phone hurriedly and dialed Song Shijun¡¯s number.
To her surprise, he picked up the call after only two rings.
¡°Xiaoxiao, what¡¯s the matter? Where are you and Young Master Jie?¡± Song Shijun sounded teasing.
Mu Xiaoxiao replied, ¡°We¡¯re eating outside. By the way, do you have any news on the friend I asked you to locate?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡±
¡°Eh, there¡¯s news? Why didn¡¯t you tell me about it then?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, displeased. She had instructed him to tell her immediately if there was any news.
Song Shijun teased, ¡°I had wanted to tell you when we got together for lunch in the afternoon, but unexpectedly¡ you and Young Master Jie went to get a room. So, being a person who knows how to read situations, I wouldn¡¯t dare to disturb the both of you.¡±
¡°W-Who told you that we were going to get a room? You¡¯d even believe the rumors on Weibo? Song Shijun, are you dumb?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said unconfidently.
She red at Yin Shaojie gloomily.
If he hadn¡¯t suggested that he had wanted to get a room with her, she wouldn¡¯t have felt like this right then.
Song Shijun asked instead, ¡°Where have you gone then? Did you really not get a room?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°W-We went to the amusement park to y!¡±
Song Shijun didn¡¯t believe her. ¡°Are you trying to lie to a three-year-old? Did you really skip ss just to go on a date at the amusement park? Do you think I¡¯ll believe you?¡±
It was up to him whether to believe it or not!
Mu Xiaoxiao was toozy to argue with him any longer. ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk to you about this anymore! Hurry up and tell me what you¡¯ve found; I¡¯m really worried about my friend! Stop being so garrulous.¡±
Opposite her, Yin Shaojie had already put down his phone and was watching her arguing noisily into her phone.
It was evident that she lost the bickering battle with Song Shijun and was now looking gloomy.
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes. Stretching out a long arm, he snatched her phone away.
¡°Oi, what are you doing?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him in surprise.
Yin Shaojie ced the phone by his ear and said, ¡°We did go and get a room. Any objections?¡±
On the other side of the phone, Song Shijun paused when he heard these words and said in an embarrassed tone, ¡°I¡¯ve got no objections at all; I wouldn¡¯t dare to. Have fun.¡±
¡°We are having fun,¡±Yin Shaojie replied.
Song Shijun chuckled as he said, ¡°That¡¯s good, that¡¯s good.¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Opposite him, Mu Xiaoxiao was waving her hands about, signalling him to give her phone back to her.
After Yin Shaojie was done with his speech, he offered the phone to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao took her phone. Before Song Shijun could say anything, she said, ¡°Hurry up and tell me what you¡¯ve found about Annie! Stop pulling other things into the conversation; you¡¯re so garrulous that it¡¯s going to be the death of me!¡±
Song Shijun felt aggrieved.
He had been about to tell her, but the Great Master Yin had snatched her phone away and even showed off his love on the other side of the phone. He had been miserably abused as a single dog but he didn¡¯t evenin!
Mu Xiaoxiao rushed him, ¡°You don¡¯t have to tell me anything else, only where she is right now.¡±
¡°Where she is right now? I don¡¯t know about that!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned as she asked, confused, ¡°What do you mean? Didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯ve found her?¡±
Song Shijun sighed. ¡°I did find out the hotel she stayed in previously, but she had already checked out of her room on Sunday. I don¡¯t know where she went after that, and I didn¡¯t manage to find out whether she¡¯s staying in another hotel or not.¡±
¡°Which hotel was she staying in previously?¡±
¡°Grand Luxury Hotel.¡±
¡
In the car, Mu Xiaoxiao urged Yin Shaojie to drive faster.
Yin Shaojie looked at her as he said, ¡°Grand Luxury? That hotel¡¯s not bad either. How about we stay the night there then?¡±
A blush flooded Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face as she said anxiously, ¡°You¡¯re still thinking about getting a room? The most important thing now is to find her!¡±
Yin Shaojie handed his phone to her.
¡°Here¡¯s the information about where she¡¯s been after she arrived in China.¡±
So he had indeed found something.
It was only then that Mu Xiaoxiao regained her senses. She took the phone from him and looked through the information.
She gave the few pages a rough scan and finished reading it.
Annie had been to some of the older towns in City A for fun. Thest piece of information stated that she had checked out of her room at Grand Luxury Hotel, and that was herst known location before they lost track of her.
It was only upon reading the words ¡°lost track of her¡± that Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a sense of unease.
She looked towards Yin Shaojie and asked anxiously, ¡°Do you think¡ something¡¯s happened to Annie?¡±
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that she had superb luck? Nothing¡¯s probably happened to her. Maybe she¡¯s even met her Prince Charming already.¡±
They arrived at Grand Luxury Hotel in no time.
Mu Xiaoxiao rushed to the front desk and asked anxiously, ¡°My friend checked out of her room two days ago, but I don¡¯t know where she is now; I want to ask if¡¡±
Thedy at the front desk was a little stunned by her. Courteously, she said, ¡°Miss, please calm down and tell me about it slowly, alright?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao also felt that she had been incoherent, and that it was thus normal for the other party to not understand her.
¡°It¡¯s like this: I¡¯ve got a friend, her name¡¯s Annie. She arrived in City A and two days ago she¡¡±
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw the hotel manager walk over swiftly and stand in front of them. Nodding respectfully and deferentially, he said, ¡°Hello, Young Master Yin. Is there anything we can help you with?¡±
Yin Shaojiemanded like a king, ¡°I want to check the surveince feed for Sunday.¡±
The hotel manager instantly agreed to his demand, of course, and brought the two of them into the surveince room.
Yin Shaojie told the manager about Annie, and he enquired the front desk immediately and got Annie¡¯s check-out time.
In the surveince room.
The manager ordered his employees to extract the feed corresponding to Annie¡¯s check-out time.
Mu Xiaoxiao was really anxious. She pounced forward and watched the feed on the screen.
¡°Eh? Why is there a man beside Annie? She¡¯s being pulled by a man¡¡±
After getting a clear view of the man¡¯s face, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mouth fell open in surprise.
Ye Sijue?!
Chapter 604 - Who Was the Person Behind the Scenes (1)
Chapter 604: Who Was the Person Behind the Scenes (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao cupped a hand over her mouth in disbelief before rubbing her eyes forcefully, wondering if she was hallucinating.
She pointed at the man in the feed and looked at Yin Shaojie in shock. ¡°Is this¡ Is this person Ye Sijue? I haven¡¯t identified him wrongly, have I?¡±
Even Yin Shaojie was shocked. He replied, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s him. How does he know your friend?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. ¡°How am I supposed to know!¡±
Who am I supposed to ask if you ask me?
Shouldn¡¯t she be the one who was more curious to find out the answer?
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the screen. Ye Sijue had handed the key card to the front desk as though he was doing the paperwork to check Mo Xiaomeng out. Mo Xiaomeng, on the other hand, looked stunned, as though she hadn¡¯t processed what had happened, and could only follow Ye Sijue wherever hemanded.
After checking her out, Ye Sijue dragged Mo Xiaomeng out of the hotel.
The pair disappeared from the surveince feed.
Yin Shaojie told the hotel employee, ¡°Show us the feed of the entrance.¡±
After ten seconds, the feed of the entrance showed up on the screen, and they saw Mo Xiaomeng get into Ye Sijue¡¯s car.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes were wide again. ¡°C-Could it be that¡¡±
Annie had been brought away by Ye Sijue?
That was why she hadn¡¯t checked in to any other hotel.
Now that they knew where Annie was, Yin Shaojie held Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±
¡°Are we going to look for Sijue?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Hang on. There¡¯s something we still have to do.¡±
¡°What is it?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled.
The manager followed them out respectfully to see them off.
However, when they arrived at the lobby of the hotel, Yin Shaojie suddenly stopped, and his sharp eyes scanned the surroundings.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled.
Shouldn¡¯t they be rushing to look for Ye Sijue now that they knew that Annie had been brought away by Ye Sijue?
¡°Oh yeah, should we call Sijue and ask him about it first? If not, if we rushed to his house so suddenly, it might be a little¡¡±
Before she could finish her words, a new situation appeared in front of them.
A man d in ck was hauling a battered-looking man to Yin Shaojie, and threw him down onto the floor in front of him.
¡°Young master, this is the man.¡±
Yin Shaojie regarded the man on the floor icily. ¡°Who sent you to follow me?¡± he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned.
Someone had been following them?
It was only then that she peered closely at the man on the floor and found the camera around his neck.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart jolted and she couldn¡¯t help but recall something.
When she had been kidnapped by Han Xue¡¯er, the photos that the girl had shown her were all secret shots of her and Yin Shaojie together.
Could it be that¡ this man was the one who took the photos?
With an innocent expression on his face, the man said, ¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about. I wasn¡¯t following you at all! I was only taking photos around the area. I really wasn¡¯t following you; you can¡¯t casually use me of wrongdoing like that!¡±
Yin Shaojie sneered coldly. He had already felt that something was off from the time they were at the Japanese restaurant.
After they had arrived at the hotel, he realized that there was a car which had followed them here, and had even seen the sh of a camera through his peripheral vision.
Yin Shaojie gave a look to his bodyguard.
The bodyguard snatched the man¡¯s camera away and looked through the photos inside.
rmed, the man shouted anxiously, ¡°Why did you take my camera away! It¡¯s expensive! Hurry up and give it back!¡±
The bodyguard looked through it twice before walking over to Yin Shaojie. ¡°There¡¯s nothing inside.¡±
Chapter 605 - Who Was the Person Behind the Scenes (2)

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Nothing?¡± Yin Shaojie knitted his brows and took the camera.
Indeed, there was really not a single photo in the memory.
Seeing this, the man opportunistically chastised them, ¡°See, I didn¡¯t even take any secret photos of you. You used a good person! You think you are so great just because you are rich? Who wants to stalk you? Who do you think you are?¡±
Yin Shaojie sneered, raised the camera, stared at the man and shot back at him, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you were taking pictures nearby? And you didn¡¯t take a single photo?¡±
The man paused, then he quickly found an excuse, saying, ¡°I haven¡¯t started taking any photos. Why, is there anything wrong with that? Or maybe I took a photo, and then I deleted it because it wasn¡¯t satisfactory. Couldn¡¯t I do that? Why should I exin it to you? In any case, there isn¡¯t any photo of you inside, so I wasn¡¯t taking photos of you secretly!¡±
Yin Shaojie said haughtily, ¡°Do you think that just because you have deleted the photos, I would have no other way?¡±
The man was still insisting that he wasn¡¯t secretly taking photos.
In any case, the photo was already gone, so there was no more evidence. Plus, they were out in public, so he didn¡¯t believe that Yin Shaojie would dare to do anything to him.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes shed with amusement as he said to the bodyguard, ¡°Take him to the police station. I want to sue him.¡±
The man, unwilling to give up, continued to say, ¡°You, You. What are you suing me for? What grounds do you have to sue me? Where is the evidence?¡±
¡°Evidence? You tell the policemen.¡± Yin Shaojie said indifferently.
¡°Give me back the camera!¡± The man suddenly became worried, wanting to snatch back his phone¡¯s camera, but he was already pinned by the bodyguard.
After the manager reported to the police, the police took the man away in front of everyone.
This avoided some gossip.
Yin Shaojie temporarily passed the camera to the bodyguard and asked him to take it home.
Mu Xiaoxiao went up to hug his arm, saying worriedly, ¡°Was he the one who secretly took those photos thest time?¡±
¡°Probably,¡± Yin Shaojie said, wrapped his arms around her shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll get to the bottom of it.¡±
His eyes narrowed, having a nagging feeling that things would not be quite that simple.
Who was the person behind the scenes?
¡
Ye residence.
When Ye Sijue came home, he instinctively went into the guest room where Mo Xiaomeng was staying at, but she was nowhere to be seen.
He frowned, stopped a helper and asked, ¡°Where is she?¡±
The helper was startled, and quickly nodded and replied, ¡°Young master, Mo¡ªMiss Mo, she was ying in the yard earlier. But I don¡¯t know where she went after that¡¡±
Though there were more than a hundred domestic helpers in Ye residence, everyone had their own duties.
And with howrge Ye residence was, it was impossible for someone to be keeping watch of Mo Xiaomeng all day.
Ye Sijue didn¡¯t question further and decided to look for her himself.
When he was walking through the corridor, about to go to the yard, he passed by the study and saw that the door of the study was half open, and he stopped.
Lightly pushing the door, Ye Sijue walked into the study.
Beside the simple and elegant European bookshelf in the study, a person in a white skirtid on the dark wooden floor. The face, almost the size of a palm, was covered with an open book such that even the ears could not be seen.
He walked over slowly, in very light steps that he had never once taken before as if he was afraid of rming the butterfly fairy and letting her fly away.
No, she should be an angel instead.
Ye Sijue walked to Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s side, half squatted, and watched her fixedly.
In a pure white skirt, with her slender limbs and skin as fair as snow, in the scene of the cream-colored curtains gently stirring in the light breeze, she really looked like an angel.
Even the air was filled with purity.

Ye Sijue never felt a greater urge to look at a person¡¯s face, so even when he knew it might rm her, he still reached out and removed the book covering her little face.
Sure enough, Mo Xiaomeng was rmed, and the long, curled eyshes fanned like a butterfly.
Ye Sijue sat down and gazed at her, unblinking, as if waiting for the butterfly to flutter.
However, Mo Xiaomeng only stirred in her expression before continuing to sleep.
His palm on the floor, Ye Sijue noticed that the floor was a bit cold.
Looking again, this little thing was lying directly on the floor without any carpet whatsoever beneath.
He wrinkled his brows.
It¡¯d be easy to catch a cold like this.
With hardly any hesitation, his arms reached out to lift her up in a manner so gentle that he didn¡¯t even realize it.
Feeling slight difort from being moved, Mo Xiaomeng was like a kitten, shifting about in his arms. Then she turned over to face his chest, her hands curled up, and she dug her face into his chest.
As though she had finally found afortable position, her movements came to a rest.
Ye Sijue bent his head, gazing deeply at her fair cheeks. It was so soft and inviting for a kiss.
He suddenly remembered how her cherry lips felt¡ªsoft and more delicious than any desserts he had ever eaten.
When Ye Sijue walked out of the study room with Mo Xiaomeng, a girl came up to him from in front and called out warmly to him, ¡°Brother Sijue!¡±
When Yang Zixuan saw the person in his arms, her face drooped.
¡°Why are you carrying her? Doesn¡¯t she have legs to walk by herself?¡±
Ye Sijue shushed at her to be quiet.
Yang Zixuan pouted in dissatisfaction, but she didn¡¯t dare to disobey his orders, so she could only keep silent sullenly.
Seeing him carry the person to the guest room, she followed him.
Ye Sijue carried Mo Xiaomeng into the room and gently ced her on the bed. When she hadid down, he covered her with a nket.
But instead of leaving immediately, he bent at his waist, and stared deeply at Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s face for quite a while.
Unhappy with the suggestive and affectionate atmosphere, she couldn¡¯t help but disrupt it.
¡°Why are you¡¡±
Ye Sijue turned back to shoot her a look.
Yang Zixuan bit her lower lip, sulking. She couldn¡¯t refrain from looking at Mo Xiaomeng lying in bed, her eyes filled with resentment.
Ye Sijue then stood straightened and gestured to her with a look to leave the room with him.
The door closed.
Then he asked, ¡°Why are you here again?¡±
Yang Zixuan pouted and said in a coquettishly angry manner, ¡°Can¡¯t Ie? Brother Sijue, do you not wee me?¡±
¡°No,¡± Ye Sijue replied mildly.
Yang Zixuan happily went up to hug his arm and said, ¡°I tell you, I¡¯ll be moving here to stay for a while starting today. Are you happy?¡±
Ye Sijue frowned. ¡°Moving here? Why?¡±
¡°Because¡ my parents have left for distant ces, so there is no one in the family to take care of me. So I told them to let me stay at Auntie Pei¡¯s ce for a while, and Auntie Pei agreed!¡±
Yang Zixuan was lying through her teeth.
Not to mention how her parents did not leave for distant ces, but even if her parents were not at home, there were still many helpers at home that could take care of her.
Ye Sijue didn¡¯t question further on this matter because it didn¡¯t matter to him.
The Ye mansion was so big. With so many friends of the family in their rich and powerful circle, it was normal for a few people to stay here once in a while.

It was just like how Yang Zixuan, who was the daughter of Mama Ye¡¯s long time friend, woulde to Ye residence from time to time because she liked being close to Ye Sijue.
It was only that Yang Zixuan had juste on Sunday, and two dayster, she came again. Her visits were a bit too frequent.
What Ye Sijue didn¡¯t know was that it was because she had seen him bring Mo Xiaomeng home on Sunday night that Yang Zixuan did not feelfortable with it, so she had been begging her parents at home for two days before she could finally stay at the Ye residence. .
¡°Oh,¡± he responded indifferently, looking as though he was not interested in the details.
Yang Zixuan had initially prepared a lot of lies, but who knew that he wouldn¡¯t continue questioning her, leaving her with no room to utilize them. Though it was a breeze for her, she felt quite dejected.
¡°Brother Sijue, is she your girlfriend? Why¡ are you treating her so nicely? Does she not have a family? Why is she staying at your house?¡±
Ye Sijue had no intention of replying as he simply walk toward his room.
Yang Zixuan stomped her feet and caught up to him coquettishly. ¡°Brother Sijue¡ Why don¡¯t you reply to me? I¡¯m just curious about your rtionship with her.¡±
From what she remembered, Ye Sijue seemed to have never taken a girl back home before, so the only exnation she coulde up with was that Mo Xiaomeng was his girlfriend.
Ye Sijue stood at the door of his room, stared at her and said, ¡°What you should be doing is to go and pick a room and unpack your luggage. Alright, I¡¯m going to change clothes. See you at dinner.¡±
¡°Si¡¡±
Before Yang Zixuan could finish calling out his name, the door closed in front of her.
Although she really wanted to wait at the door for him toe out, she was afraid that he might find her too annoying, so she could only leave resentfully to her guest room.
The guest room that Mo Xiaomeng was staying at just happened to be along the way to her guest room.
So Yang Zixuan stood at the door to Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s room, red at it, kicked the door angrily with a bang.
A helper, who happened to pass by, stared at her in shock. ¡°Miss Zixuan¡±
Yang Zixuan shot a re at her, ¡°What are you looking at!¡±
The helper quickly bowed her head and said to her, ¡°Miss Zixuan, your luggage has been put into the guest room. Should I unpack it for you into the wardrobe?¡±
¡°Of course! Do you even need me to tell you?¡±
The helper lowered her head without saying anything, and she followed behind Yang Zixuan into the room.
Meanwhile, in the other room.
Lying on the bed, Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s eyshes fluttered, her face wrinkled, and she opened her eyes.
She was awakened by the sound of someone kicking the door.
¡°Who is it? So loud¡¡± she mumbled, her mouth pouting in displeasure. Her right leg turned over, and she hugged the nket.
And in that position, she was facing the balcony, so she could see the weather outside.
The sun had set, and the sky was painted with vermilion, which was especially beautiful.
She stared outside for a while, her little face rubbing against the soft nket, and she then spread open her arms to stretch herself, sighing.
Well, it was evening already¡ªtime to eat.
In the middle of that thought, a maic and alluring voice came suddenly came from behind her, ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng didn¡¯t notice the sound of him opening the door, and she turned around in shock.
Upon seeing that it was Ye Sijue, she rxed.
She saidzily, ¡°You¡¯re back?¡±
Ye Sijue narrowed his eyes. He had a strange feeling as though her tone was one of a little wife waiting for the return of her husband.

Knowing that it was him, Mo Xiaomeng turned her head back, continued to admire the sunset outside, and she even reached out to the nightstand to get her phone to take a picture.
But she couldn¡¯t find it on the nightstand. Her little hand felt around the pillow and still couldn¡¯t find it.
¡°Eh, where¡¯s my phone?¡±
Ye Sijue walked over, sat on the bed and stared at her. ¡°Do you remember where you were sleeping earlier?¡±
Hearing that, Mo Xiaomeng suddenly remembered.¡±Aiyah! The phone is in the study! Eh? Who carried me back to this room?¡±
Her slender finger pointed at his handsome face, ¡°You?¡±
Ye Sijue wrapped her finger with his big hand and said, ¡°Who else could it be?¡±
Did she want someone else to carry her?
Besides, in this household, no one could do such a thing for her without his permission.
In a smooth motion, Ye Sijue pulled her toward him, and his tall body pinned her onto the bed.
¡°Hey, why are you¡ ngh!¡±
Before Mo Xiaomeng could finish speaking, he stoppered her mouth with a kiss.
She closed her eyes immediately, her eyshes twitched slightly, and the little hand instinctively grasped the shirt on his chest.
This again¡
Ever since the time together at the hotel and he brought her home, he would just kiss her from time to time.
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s little face was suffused with an alluring red tinge.
She was a little dazed.
What¡ was their rtionship?
They had clearly only just met a few days ago, but why was he kissing her so naturally as if she were his girlfriend?
Mo Xiaomeng couldn¡¯t stop the fevering on her face, and neither could she stop the wild beating of her heart.
Ye Sijue¡¯s thin lips rubbed against hers for a while. Seeming like he was still unsatisfied, he tried to deepen the kiss.
His fiery tongue attempted to pry open her teeth and charge in.
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s body trembled, and her little hand pushed him, suggesting for him to not go overboard.
Ye Sijue was quite acquiescent today, and he actually retreated some.
¡°Get u¡¡± Mo Xiaomeng wanted to ask him to get up, but in the next second, his devilishly beautiful face magnified before her again.
This time, it was too much as he directly drove it in.
¡°Ungh¡¡± Mo Xiaomeng was licked at a sensitive spot, and she moaned unconsciously.
Just when Ye Sijue was in the middle of the fiery kiss, knocks on the door were heard.
Mo Xiaomeng instantly froze.
Ye Sijue frowned irritatedly and stopped the kissing.
¡°Miss Mo?¡± the helper¡¯s voice came from outside.
Embarrassed, Mo Xiaomeng pped Ye Sijue¡¯s shoulder forcefully, motioning him to release her.
She didn¡¯t even know if he had closed the door when he came in. If the door wasn¡¯t closed, then what would happen if the helper came in and saw them like this?
What made Mo Xiaomeng feel at ease was that the helpers here were very polite and wouldn¡¯t barge in without first obtaining permission.
Ye Sijue¡¯s eyes shed with evil as his warm big hand suddenly touched her waist.
Mo Xiaomeng felt herself going weak and nearly let out a moan.
Just when she loosened her mouth, he took the chance and drilled in deeper.
Mo Xiaomeng felt that he was really too evil, and she red at him as she pounded against his back bashfully.
Someone was calling her, and yet he was still ying!
The helper¡¯s voice was heard again, ¡°Miss Mo? Are you awake?¡±
Hearing the sound of the door handle turning, Mo Xiaomeng froze again.
Then, Ye Sijue released her little mouth and said, ¡°Don¡¯te in. Is anything the matter?¡±

The person outside seemed surprised that he was inside. Startled for a moment, she said, ¡°Young master, so you¡¯re inside. It¡¯s Madam. She said dinner is about to be served, and she wanted me to inform Miss Mo.¡±
Ye Sijue¡¯s voice was slightly husky as he said, ¡°Okay, got it. We¡¯ll be downstairs in a while.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± The helper left.
Blushing, Mo Xiaomeng clenched her fist and pounded on his chest. ¡°Why did you answer like that? Others will think that we were together in the room¡ doing ¡®that kind of thing¡¯!¡±
The corner of Ye Sijue¡¯s mouth arched up sinisterly, ¡°Weren¡¯t we just doing ¡®that kind of thing¡¯?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng didn¡¯t dare to look into his eyes. The devilish charm of his eyes seemed as though it could steal her soul.
She turned her face away and said, ¡°Stop joking, will you?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not joking,¡± Ye Sijue said very seriously.
In fact, he didn¡¯t even know what had gotten over him.
He had clearly always kept a distance from women, but with her, he would always lose restraint and want to get close and intimate with her.
It was a very fantastic feeling. He couldn¡¯t understand it, so he could only indulge himself and go along with his desires.
After sleeping and kissing, Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s shirt was quite messy.
Ye Sijue looked down and saw her snow-white semi-circles. How tempting¡
His throat worked up and down, feeling dry in the mouth.
Mo Xiaomeng pushed him again. ¡°Hurry and get up! We¡¯re going to eat.¡±
She knew that her face must be very red now, so she had to wash her face and dissipate the heat first.
Ye Sijue¡¯s gaze deepened as he got up from on top of her.
Mo Xiaomeng quickly rolled over and ran into the washroom.
A few minutester, when she washed her face and came out, Ye Sijue was nowhere to be found.
She cast her little face to her side and said, ¡°Hmph! Running off after eating mytofu 1 !¡±
Mo Xiaomeng adjusted her clothes before walking out of the guest room.
Suddenly, she remembered that her phone was still in the study, so she went to the study.
Unexpectedly, when she approached the room, he heard Ye Sijue and Mama Ye¡¯s voices.
As a good-mannered person, Mo Xiaomeng didn¡¯t want to eavesdrop on other people¡¯s conversations. Just when she was about to go, she heard what Mama Ye said.
¡°Ah Jue, is Xiaomeng is your girlfriend? You can at least tell Mom.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng, who just a second ago thought she was a person with good manners, stopped and pricked her ears up to listen.
Cough! She wasn¡¯t deliberately eavesdropping, but she was just curious about Ye Sijue¡¯s answer.
How¡ would he exin his rtionship with her?
However, after waiting for a while without hearing Ye Sijue¡¯s answer, Mo Xiaomeng was somewhat disappointed.
Mama Ye said with some regrets, ¡°I originally wanted you to be with Xiaoxiao¡¡±
Thest part of what she was saying was quite unclear, so Mo Xiaomeng leaned forward a little.
Ye Sijue really knew Xiaoxiao then?
Mo Xiaomeng had already guessed such a possibility, so she was not surprised to hear that now.
After all, from looking at both Xiaoxiao¡¯s family and the Ye family, it was only normal that they would know each other.
But what she didn¡¯t expect was that, listening to the tone of Mama Ye¡¯s voice, the Ye family seemed to be rather close with Xiaoxiao¡¯s family.
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s ear went closer and closer, and finally she heard Mama Ye¡¯s voice again.
¡°It¡¯s a pity. You like Xiaoxiao so much, and I also like Xiaoxiao, hoping that she could marry into our family¡¡±
Then Mo Xiaomeng froze. Blood seemed to flow backwards throughout her body.
Ye Sijue¡ liked Xiaoxiao?

Mo Xiaomeng couldn¡¯t articte what she was feeling. Her heart felt a little stuffy and ufortable, and she was even a little angry.
Why did he kiss her if he liked Xiaoxiao?
She bit her lip, and a mist came over her eyes and there was grievance and sorrow in them.
So it turned out that this guy was a jerk who yed with the feelings of other people!
She had even¡
Mo Xiaomeng shook her head. She didn¡¯t want to think about this anymore.
Not wanting to eavesdrop any longer, she turned to leave.
In the study.
Upon hearing his mother¡¯s words, Ye Sijue¡¯s handsome features looked amused. ¡°Mom, what are you talking about! Since when have I said that I liked Xiaoxiao? Also, don¡¯t go around sprouting such things. It wouldn¡¯t be good if the Yins or Xiaoxiao and her friends hear of it.¡±
Mama Ye looked stubborn as she said, ¡°Don¡¯t lie to me. Don¡¯t you have a box of things hiding all the things that Xiaoxiao gave you? You also liked to look for Xiaoxiao when you were a kid. You smiled much more when you were with her too. If you don¡¯t like her, then what else can it be?¡±
Ye Sijue didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. ¡°What box? Are you talking about those things that I hid when I was young? Mom! That box contains not only stuff Xiaoxiao had gifted, but also Shaojie and the rest. Your view is only clouded because you really want Xiaoxiao to marry into our family.¡±
He had indeed yed with Xiaoxiao a lot when they were little, but Yin Shaojie and the rest were also there, so he didn¡¯t hang out with only Xiaoxiao.
Frankly speaking, he went to the Yins to find Shaojie, not Xiaoxiao.
However, the adults simply liked to match their kids together as they watched them y.
Mama Ye frowned. Upon hearing his exnation, she was a little shocked, as though she had an inkling that her judgement was wrong, but still didn¡¯t believe it.
¡°Is it really? Don¡¯t lie to your mom! You really don¡¯t like Xiaoxiao?¡±
Ye Sijue thought for a moment before saying, ¡°I do like her, but not in the way that you think. Also, Shaojie and Xiaoxiao are now engaged, and their rtionship with each other is really good, so you should get rid of your false notions.¡±
Mama Ye sighed. She still looked really regretful. ¡°But I really want Xiaoxiao to marry into our family¡¡±
Ye Sijueughed as he said, ¡°You¡¯re aiming for the Mus fortune? You want to expand our family¡¯s influence using a marriage to the Mus?¡±
After all, Xiaoxiao¡¯s background was really special, and could not bepared to anyone else¡¯s.
Mama Ye red at him. She sounded unhappy as she said, ¡°So you think that your mom is such a person? I¡¯m only thinking this way because I like Xiaoxiao, and you were friends since you were little with a good rtionship!¡±
Of course, it couldn¡¯t be denied that the Mus were really influential. Anyone who was acquainted with the Mus and knew of the existence of this rich young mistress would have thought about a union with them.
Ye Sijue walked towards his mother and stood by her side. He rubbed her shoulders to pacify her as he smiled and said, ¡°I was only kidding. I know how much you like Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao¡¯s so cute that there wasn¡¯t one elder who didn¡¯t like her and pamper her when she was growing up. Even if she didn¡¯te from her background, there are still many people who want her to marry into their family.¡±
Mama Ye nodded as she said, ¡°That¡¯s true. Everyone said that they like Xiaoxiao, and wanted her to be their daughter-inw at our sisters¡¯ gathering.¡±
The Hans and the Songs were no exception.

However, these things could not be forced.
Now, the Yins have taken Xiaoxiao away, but everyone felt that this was fair. After all, the Yins were the first family to be acquainted with the Mus, and Xiaoxiao and Shaojie were intimate from their childhood days, and had the best rtionship with each other. Thus, it seemed that it was natural for them to get together in the end.¡±
Mama Ye brushed his arms off and stood up. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll not mention this matter anymore. Are you serious towards Miss Mo? By the way, you haven¡¯t answered me: Is she your girlfriend?¡±
Ye Sijue smiled mysteriously, ¡°Strictly speaking, she isn¡¯t at the moment, but I think she will be eventually.¡±
¡°What do you mean by ¡®eventually¡¯? So it does seem like you like this girl, huh? Yeah, I actually think that this girl¡¯s not bad. You can tell how pure she is from her gaze, and that she¡¯s an innocent girl. Do you need mom to give you some pointers on chasing girls?¡±
Upon mentioning this subject, Mama Ye¡¯s eyes sparkled. It was as though she had found a daughter-inw, and couldn¡¯t wait for them to be engaged.
¡°Do youck confidence in your son¡¯s charms?¡± Also, he still needed to ascertain his feelings for Mo Xiaomeng.
Even though Ye Sijue looked like a licentious person, he was actually a person who was very serious about feeligs.
The mother and son walked to the living room as they conversed.
In the living room, Mo Xiaomeng and Yang Zixuan were sitting opposite each other, each not acknowledging the other¡¯s presence.
Mo Xiaomeng wasn¡¯t trying to do so deliberately. She was thinking deeply about some matters, and thus forgot about chitchatting with other people.
However, Yang Zixuan didn¡¯t want to talk to her at all, even though she cast provocative nces at her from time to time out of the corner of her eye.
Upon Mama Ye¡¯s arrival, both the girls stood up in unison.
Mo Xiaomeng was born from a family with breeding. Her manners were really good, her actions mirrored her excellent breeding, and her smile was sweet and warm.
Yang Zixuan, on the other hand lept forward directly, and hugged Mama Ye¡¯s arm. She said affectionately, ¡°Auntie Pei, now that I¡¯m living here for a while, I¡¯ll be able to hang out with you every day! I¡¯m so happy!¡±
Her words were so, but her smiling face was directed towards Ye Sijue, and her gaze held a maiden¡¯s shyness.
She was being so obvious that Mama Ye picked up on it.
However, Mama Ye knew in her heart that Ye Sijue had no feelings for Yang Zixuan at all. Whenever Yang Zixuan came over to y, and tried to stick close to Ye Sijue, Ye Sijue not only ignored herpletely, but never thought of amodating himself to her when he didn¡¯t feel like entertaining her.
She couldn¡¯t help but to look at Mo Xiaomeng.
Even though she didn¡¯t know this girl¡¯s status, there was no need to imagine that she came from a good family and grew up with good breeding from her bearing and her clear gaze.
At that time, Mama Ye thought that Mo Xiaomeng was from City A, and thus never imagined how shocking her real identity would be.
Mama Ye called them to sit down for food.
Originally, Yang Zixuan had wanted to sit in the seat beside Ye Sijue after he had sat down.
However, Ye Sijue pulled Mo Xiaomeng and sat her down beside him. There was no other seat beside Ye Sijue.
Mama Ye smiled gently as she let Yang Zixuan sit beside her.
Yang Zixuan red at Mo Xiaomeng. Her heart was filled with rage, for she felt like the other girl was stealing the seat that was supposed to be hers.
Just then, a domestic helper came over with the dishes, and a sh of maliciousness gleamed in her eyes.
¡°Auntie Gui, let me help you with the dishes. Be careful.¡± She smiled pleasantly, acting like a mature girl from next door, and stood up as if to help serve the soup.

¡°It¡¯s not a good idea, Miss Yang. The soup¡¯s hot, so I¡¯ll serve it.¡± Auntie Gui didn¡¯t dare to let her serve the soup, but she still snatched it away.
Yang Zixuan served Mama Ye a bowl of soup before her gazended onto Mo Xiaomeng. She smirked.
¡°You¡¯re a guest, so I¡¯ll have to serve you first.¡±
She sounded like she was a host in her own home.
Yang Zixuan¡¯s eyes were cold as she schemed about how to ssh the soup at the girl in a natural manner so that no one would find out that she did it deliberately.
Mo Xiaomeng was daydreaming about something.
Yang Zixuan thought that the moment was ripe and pretended to have tripped over her own feet.
¡°Aiyah ¡ª¡±
Her whole body hurtled forward.
Inexplicably, her legs were suddenly hindered by something. Her hands retracted in a panic.
The soup, which was supposed to have sshed outwards, sshed onto her hands instead.
¡°Ah¡ª¡± Scalded by the hot soup, Yang Zixuan shrieked.
Frightened by her, Mo Xiaomeng returned to her senses. She looked at her dazedly, as though she was puzzled at what was happening.
She saw Yang Zixuan, who had wanted to hurt her, jumping about in agony, her face contorting with pain.
Mo Xiaomeng was stunned. ¡°Did you scald yourself?¡±
Yang Zixuan red at her viciously. She really wanted to squash her dead. ¡°Shut up!¡± she roared.
Mama Ye frowned and chastised, ¡°Zixuan! Mind your manners! Auntie Gui had warned you that the soup was hot, and told you not to touch it. You were the one who insisted on helping.¡±
She gestured to the domestic helper to bring a doctor over. Meanwhile, the domestic helpers were administering first aid to Yang Zixuan in a panic.
Ye Sijue sat in his seat, unmoving.
He had seen everything that Yang Zixuan did.
However, she had already gotten her just desserts before he could prevent the ident.
Ye Sijue thought this whole identical, and couldn¡¯t help but smirk.
Upon hearing Mama Ye¡¯s rebuke and unable to bear the grievance, Yang Zixuan¡¯s eyes reddened. ¡°Auntie Pei¡ I only wanted to help.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng looked dumbfounded, as though she didn¡¯t understand what was going on.
She leaned towards Ye Sijue and asked in a small voice, ¡°How did she burn herself? She¡¯s so careless.¡±
Ye Sijue looked into her eyes. This girl didn¡¯t know that she had almost been hurt. If it wasn¡¯t for this ident, the burning hot soup would havended on her.
Upon thinking of this possibility, his gaze turned frosty as he looked at Yang Zixuan.
Yang Zixuan felt that the spots where she had been scalded were really hot, but suddenly felt a wave of coldness. She looked up subconsciously and met Ye Sijue¡¯s eyes.
She froze. She had a feeling that she had been exposed, and started to panic.
¡°B-Brother Sijue¡ I¡¯m hurting!¡± Quickly, she used a pitiful voice and acted coy towards him so that he could be aware that she was a victim who needed some care and concern.
Ye Sijue smirked slightly and said pointedly, ¡°The pain will ensure you never forget your lesson.¡±
Yang Zixuan paused, and her face fell. She looked really aggrieved.
The family doctor arrived in no time and brought her to one side for treatment.
Mama Ye was worried, and followed along.
Just as Mo Xiaomeng was about to stand up, Ye Sijue said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to go. Sit down and eat.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng looked as if she was put in a spot. ¡°How can I eat like this? We should wait.¡±
Her manners decreed that she was unable to sit and eat calmly in such a situation.
It wasn¡¯t that she was worried about Yang Zixuan, but that she simply couldn¡¯t sit down and eat as a guest when even Mama Ye had gotten up from the table.

However, Ye Sijue was bossy. ¡°Eat. Ignore her, she¡¯s only been scalded a little; it¡¯s not serious.¡±
He said this as he cooled the soup in his bowl before cing it in front of her.
¡°Have some soup first.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng hesitated. However, she had no choice but to drink the soup under Ye Sijue¡¯s insistent gaze.
The temperature of the soup was just right. It was a little hot, but felt warm to her stomach when she swallowed it.
Also, the soup was delicious.
Actually, Mo Xiaomeng was already hungry since a long time ago. Her stomach had grumbled a few times after she had sat down. Perhaps it was because she hadn¡¯t had much for lunch, and had stayed in the study the entire afternoon and fell asleep while reading a book.
After finishing the bowl of soup, Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s stomach felt much better and didn¡¯t grumble anymore.
She looked up at him.
She thought to herself whether he had been so caring and let her eat first because he had heard her stomach grumble.
She asked, ¡°Where¡¯s your dad? Aren¡¯t we going to wait for him to eat with us?¡±
Ye Sijue replied, ¡°He¡¯s gone to Germany on a business trip earlier in the morning, and he¡¯ll be back ain a few days¡±
Yang Zixuan was treated quickly. Medicine was applied to her scalded right hand and bandaged.
When she walked over, she spotted the empty soup bowl in front of Mo Xiaomeng.
She also saw that the bowl in front of Ye Sijue was missing.
It was evident that Ye Sijue must have given his soup to Mo Xiaomeng.
An already fuming Yang Zixuan was now even more furious and she red at Mo Xiaomeng while gritting her teeth.
¡°Where are your manners? As a guest, you should have waited for the host before starting your meal.¡±
She said angrily, and tried to hit Mo Xiaomeng the next instant.
Unexpectedly, her right hand flung back involuntarily as she swung her left hand, causing the former to hit the back of the chair.
¡°Aiyoh!¡± Her features were contorted with pain.
Mama Ye asked concernedly, ¡°Zixuan, why are you so careless? Are you alright?¡±
Yang Zixuan cupped her right hand andined, teary-eyed, ¡°Auntie Pei, look at her. She¡¯s still sitting there at ease and eating while I¡¯m hurt and injured. How can a human being be so heartless!¡±
Mama Ye looked over.
Ye Sijue red at Yang Zixuan coldly and said to his mother, ¡°Xiaomeng was hungry, so I let her have some soup first to calm her stomach.¡±
Mama Ye had no intention to berate her from the start and nodded. She looked towards Mo Xiaomeng with a smile and said, ¡°Treat this as your own home, Xiaomeng. You can eat first if you¡¯re hungry; there¡¯s no need to wait for us.¡±
¡°Auntie Pei!¡± Yang Zixuan was displeased upon hearing her words.
¡°Alright Zixuan, sit down and eat.¡±
Yang Zixuan sat down reluctantly. She then looked at her hand which had been hurt yet again aggrievedly, before ring at Mo Xiaomeng angrily.
It was all this woman¡¯s fault!
Yang Zixuan was vexed. Why was it that she suffered whenever she tried to hurt this girl?
This was really strange!
She pouted and looked coy as she said to Ye Sijue, ¡°Brother Sijue, I can¡¯t hold my chopsticks because my right hand¡¯s hurt. Can you take some food for me?¡±
¡°Use a fork,¡± Ye Sijue replied, gesturing to a domestic helper to bring a fork for her.
Yang Zixuan¡¯s face fell again.
Mo Xiaomeng wasn¡¯t a fool. She could feel the hostility from Yang Zixuan, and thus kept quiet and ate her meal with her head lowered.
Just then, the butler walked over and announced, ¡°Young Master, Madam, Young Master Yin and Miss Mu have arrived.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng was stunned.
Miss Mu? Was that Mu Xiaoxiao?
Ye Sijue was puzzled, ¡°Why are they visiting out of the blue?¡±

Mama Ye said, ¡°What do you mean? They are still wee to visit even if they have no business with us. Butler, invite them in; Ah Xia, get two sets of cutlery out, and instruct the kitchen to prepare two more dishes. Oh yeah, doesn¡¯t Xiaoxiao like simmer-fried eggnt?¡±
Herst sentence was directed to Ye Sijue.
Ye Sijue replied, ¡°Yeah, probably.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng cast a nce at him involuntarily.
He must really like Xiaoxiao if he even remembered what she liked to eat.
Also, Mama Ye must like Xiaoxiao a lot to even specially instruct the kitchen to prepare Xiaoxiao¡¯s favorite dishes.
The butler led two people in soon after.
Before they could even see Mu Xiaoxiao, they already heard her voice. ¡°Ye Sijue! I have something to ask you!¡±
Ye Sijue put his chopsticks down and saw Mu Xiaoxiao and Ye Sijue walking in.
¡°Come over and eat with us too.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng stood up and greeted Mu Xiaoxiao personally. ¡°Xiaoxiao, I missed you so much. Why didn¡¯t youe and visit after you returned to China?¡± she said as she hugged Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°Auntie Pei!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly and hugged Mama Ye enthusiastically.
Mama Ye felt a surge of affection as she looked at her cute expression. She sighed internally as she thought about how she couldn¡¯t be her daughter-inw.
Yin Shaojie nodded and greeted, ¡°Auntie Pei.¡±
Mama Ye nodded back. ¡°Shaojie¡¯s looking more handsome day by day too.¡±
Because Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s back was facing the entrance, she could only see Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s back and not her face when she first entered.
Mo Xiaomeng pushed her chair out and walked over. ¡°Xiaoxiao!¡± her clear voice called out.
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head from Mama Ye¡¯s embrace. Upon seeing Mo Xiaomeng, she shouted delightedly, ¡°Annie!¡±
She was really here!
The girls hugged each other happily and jumped around like two little rabbits.
Apart from Yin Shaojie, the rest looked on in surprise.
Mo Xiaomeng knew Mu Xiaoxiao?
Mama Ye was puzzled. ¡°This¡ Xiaoxiao, both of you know each other?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao released Mo Xiaomeng and nodded, her smile radiant. ¡°Yeah! She¡¯s my good friend from America.¡±
Lowering her head, Mo Xiaomeng exined in an embarrassed tone, ¡°Actually, I came to China to look for Xiaoxiao.¡±
Mama Ye looked surprised, ¡°What a coincidence!¡±
Naturally, Ye Sijue was unable to sit still as well. He stood up and looked at Mo Xiaomeng and asked, ¡°The friend you tried to look for in City A is Xiaoxiao?¡±
So she wasn¡¯t trying to find a man?
¡°Yeah.¡± Mo Xiaomeng nodded.
Mama Ye smiled and called to them. ¡°Alright, alright. We continue the conversation while sitting down. Xiaoxiao, Shaojie, have you eaten? Let¡¯s eat together.¡±
¡°We¡¯ve eaten.¡±
Even though this was their reply, they still sat down at the table.
Upon hearing that they had eaten, Mama Ye didn¡¯t force them to eat, but asked a helper to bring them some soup.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hands were on the table, her fingers crossed. She looked probingly at Ye Sijue and asked, ¡°Ye Sijue, how did you meet Annie?¡±
¡°Annie?¡± Ye Sijue repeated as he cast a deep, questioning look at Mo Xiaomeng.
So her real name wasn¡¯t Mo Xiaomeng?
Mo Xiaomeng exined hurriedly, ¡°Annie is my English name, and Mo Xiaomeng is my Chinese name.¡±
She hadn¡¯t lied to him!
Mu Xiaoxiao agreed, ¡°Yeah. Annie¡¯s Chinese name is Mo Xiaomeng, and it was given to her by me! Isn¡¯t it cute and suited for her?¡±
She looked really pleased as she mentioned this.

Upon hearing this, Ye Sijue smiled. His gaze fell on Mo Xiaomeng and his maic, devilish voice said earnestly, ¡°Indeed.¡±
It was really cute and suited her very well.
Mo Xiaomeng looked up subconsciously and met his gaze.
Ye Sijue smiled as he looked at her.
Mo Xiaomeng blushed inexplicably and lowered her head.
Nearby, Mama Ye smiled. She said in agreement, ¡°It¡¯s cute and reminiscent of Xiaoxiao¡¯s style. I remember that you liked to christen your dolls with cute names such as ¡®Little Flower¡¯ and ¡®Little Bean¡¯ when you were little.¡±
¡°Auntie Pei, you still remember that?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue.
The row of people conversed about the past as they ate, and Mu Xiaoxiao forgot about asking how Mo Xiaomeng and Ye Sijue met.
After the meal.
Naturally, Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to bring Mo Xiaomeng along with her. She couldn¡¯t, in good conscience, let a lone girl stay in someone else¡¯s house.
After informing Mama Ye, she prepared to enter the room and pack Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s stuff.
Unexpectedly, Ye Sijue frowned and said suddenly, ¡°Doesn¡¯t your condo only have one bedroom? How can you host someone else? Let Xiaomeng stay over here. We have so many rooms anyway.¡±
Mama Ye, who had felt that it would be too embarrassing to ask Mo Xiaomeng to stay, hurriedly chimed in to support her son now that he had said something. ¡°That¡¯s right. You¡¯re staying together as a couple, and it would be inconvenient for someone else to stay with you. It would be better for Xiaomeng to live with us. Anyway, our meeting seems predestined and I would like it if she stays here, too.¡±
Most importantly, she was her son¡¯s chosen significant other, and Mama Ye was not going to let her go, of course.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she said, ¡°There¡¯s no need. It¡¯s more convenient for Xiaomeng to stay with us. It won¡¯t bother us much¡¡±
She had been about to say that she and Yin Shaojie could move back to the Yin residence temporarily, so that they would be able to apany Mo Xiaomeng like that.
After all, Mo Xiaomeng hade to China to look for her, and she had also promised William that she would take care of Mo Xiaomeng properly. How could she abandon Mo Xiaomeng at someone¡¯s home?
Mu Xiaoxiao thought, If William knew that Xiaoxiao was staying in a man¡¯s house, wouldn¡¯t he fly over here ASAP?
However, before Mu Xiaoxiao could finish her sentence, Yin Shaojie interrupted suddenly, ¡°It¡¯s alreadyte though, so it won¡¯t be very convenient to move her things over. Let Xiaomeng stay here tonight and we¡¯ll continue discussing this tomorrow.¡±
¡°But¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to continue speaking, but Yin Shaojie held her hand.
¡°Alright, don¡¯t we still have something to do? Let¡¯s go home first and we¡¯lle back here tomorrow.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao saw his gaze and read the message behind it. She had no choice but topromise.
¡°Okay then¡¡±
Unexpectedly, Mo Xiaomeng suddenly said, ¡°Xiaoxiao! Let me go back with you!¡±
Ye Sijue frowned deeply. He couldn¡¯t understand why she was like that. Was it that she didn¡¯t want to stay by his side?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng could feel a hot gaze on her, but she made an effort to not look at Ye Sijue.
She smiled at Mama Ye as she said, ¡°Thank you for your hospitality, Auntie Ye, but I still think¡¡±
Ye Sijue grabbed onto her wrist in one swift motion. His devilishly handsome face had a heavy look on it as he said sharply, ¡°I forbid you from leaving!¡±
Mo Xiaomeng was stunned. She tried to shake his hand off, but he held on even tighter.
It was as though he was really afraid that she would leave, just like that.
¡°W-What are you doing? Let me go!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao and Mama Ye looked at them, stunned. Only Yin Shaojie, who seemed to have predicted it, looked unperturbed as his lips smirked in a meaningful smile.

When Mama Ye regained her senses, she frowned at Ye Sijue and said, ¡°Ah Jue, if you want to keep Xiaomeng, can¡¯t you use a gentler method?¡±
Ye Sijue looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°You should go back first. We¡¯ll talk about this tomorrow.¡±
He then said to Mo Xiaomeng, ¡°Come with me. I have something to say to you.¡±
With that said, he pulled Mo Xiaomeng in the direction of the room.
Yang Zixuan looked like a forgotten figure as she stood in the corner and red angrily at Mo Xiaomeng, as though she was trying to burn a hole in her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked and wanted to rush forward to protect Mo Xiaomeng involuntarily. ¡°Eh¡¡±
Yin Shaojie grabbed onto her. ¡°Alright, let them have their conversation. Xiaoxiao, let¡¯s go home first.¡±
Beside them, Mama Ye sighed and said apologetically. ¡°Sorry about that poor disy. Ah, Jue probably couldn¡¯t bear to let Xiaomeng leave.¡±
Yin Shaojie gave her a respectful nod. ¡°Auntie Pei, we¡¯ll be going first then. See you tomorrow.¡±
¡°Alright, take care.¡±
Yin Shaojie dragged Mu Xiaoxiao away and left.
Mu Xiaoxiao, annoyed, said, ¡°Why did you take me away? You should have let me ask about what was going on between Annie and Sijue.¡±
¡°Rx, Sijue won¡¯t hurt her.¡±
¡
In the bedroom.
Mo Xiaomeng looked downcast. In front of her, Ye Sijue was regarding her deeply.
The pair stood there facing each other in silence.
Mo Xiaomeng didn¡¯t like the atmosphere. She felt really stifled and ufortable.
Thus, her lips moved as she said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll sleep here tonight and tomorrow I¡¯ll¡¡±
¡°You¡¯re not allowed to leave tomorrow either!¡± Ye Sijue said sharply.
¡°You ¡ª¡± Mo Xiaomeng lifted her head and stared at him. Displeased at his bossiness, she said, ¡°What right do you have to prevent me from leaving? You and I are only¡ How do I put this¡ acquaintances by chance? Also, I came to China to look for Xiaoxiao. Now that we¡¯ve met, isn¡¯t it natural for me to stay with her?¡±
Frankly speaking, she had only known him for a few days. They couldn¡¯t even be considered friends, right?
Ye Sijue knew that what she said was true, but he didn¡¯t want her to leave.
His face looked heavy as he asked, ¡°You seemed a little weird when we were eating. Did something happen?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng paused. She didn¡¯t expect him to catch on to her emotions.
She had concealed her feelings. How did he see through that?
Ye Sijue saw her avert her gaze and frowned. His long and slender fingers lifted her chin, forcing her to look at him. ¡°Tell me,¡± he repeated.
Mo Xiaomeng remembered his liking of Xiaoxiao and her eyes brimmed with unhappiness.
¡°Stop pinching me like that, it¡¯s ufortable!¡± She tried to move away from his hand.
She had never been treated this way before, even when she was little. She felt as if she was under his control.
She didn¡¯t like it.
¡°Look into my eyes.¡± Upon hearing that she was ufortable, Ye Sijue let go, but intensified themanding tone in his voice.
I¡¯ll look into your eyes then! Who¡¯s afraid of you!
Mo Xiaomeng opened her eyes wide and met his gaze.
Ye Sijue looked at her heavily and said, ¡°You were okay in the study¡ Were you unhappy because of Zixuan¡¯s attitude towards you?¡±
Yang Zixuan¡¯s hostility towards her was way too obvious.
Mo Xiaomeng shook her head. ¡°No, she didn¡¯t do anything to me. I¡¯m really okay. It¡¯s just that I¡¯m happy I met Xiaoxiao, and I feel bad for intruding into your space.¡±Comment (1)Inar

The corner of Ye Sijue¡¯s lip curled down.
Her gaze looked guilty no matter how she shifted it and she called this okay?
¡°Are you going to tell me or not?¡± he asked coldly.
Mo Xiaomeng paused.
A little frustrated, she red at him, ¡°What do you want me to say? You¡¯re really bossy, you know that? We¡¯re nothing to each other, and we¡¯ve only known each other for a few days. What right do you have to treat me like this?¡±
Ye Sijue¡¯s gaze was heavy. ¡°Continue.¡±
Their interaction had been so positive in the room previously, but now she looked like she disliked him deeply.
Mo Xiaomeng thought for a while.
That¡¯s right. They didn¡¯t have a special rtionship. He had¡ yed her. Why should she bear it in silence? She should expose him and give him a scolding to vent her anger.
Mo Xiaomeng inhaled deeply. With both hands on her hips, she rebuked him angrily, ¡°Why did you do such intimate things with me when you obviously like Xiaoxiao? Do you think I¡¯m a loose woman? Let me tell you that I¡¯m not! I don¡¯t like to y such games, and I¡¯m making it clear to you. Happy now?¡±
He would let her go after all that she had revealed, right?
The gears in Ye Sijue¡¯s head turned and he understood things now.
No wonder.
Her expression had been weird ever since he walked into the living room, as if she had been angry. He had originally thought that she was feeling shy, but it seemed like his intuition was right now.
He said frankly, ¡°Were you outside the study eavesdropping on my conversation with my mom?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng crossed her arms and admitted to it straightforwardly, ¡°So what if I was?¡±
Ye Sijue smirked and walked closer to her. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you finish eavesdropping, then? You¡¯re only having such nonsensical thoughts because you only heard half the conversation.¡±
What? What did he mean by nonsensical thoughts?
Mo Xiaomeng looked at him and realized that his expression had changed. It no longer looked fierce and was reced with a joyful smile.
What kind of reaction was this?
Suddenly, Mo Xiaomeng was unable to understand him.
Why was he smiling when she had exposed the fact that he liked Xiaoxiao?
Ye Sijue seemed to see through her thoughts as he looked into her eyes. He said, a little helplessly, ¡°If you heard it, you should have known that my mom was the one who said I liked Xiaoxiao, not me. If you heard what I had said after that, you¡¯d have known that I don¡¯t like Xiaoxiao the way you think I do.¡±
¡°You don¡¯t like Xiaoxiao the way I think you do? Doesn¡¯t that still mean¡ that you like Xiaoxiao?¡± Mo Xiaomeng said.
Ye Sijue pinched his forehead as though he had a headache. ¡°Why do you girls like to find fault with word choices? Do you want me to say that I don¡¯t like Xiaoxiao? I¡¯ve known her since we were little and we have a good rtionship, but I only like her as a friend. That doesn¡¯t count as liking her romantically, right?¡±
He didn¡¯t really have many friends in his circle. He had only Yin Shaojie, Xiaoxiao and a few others as friends and thus treasured them. Was there a problem with that?
Mo Xiaomeng pouted as she mumbled, ¡°Then¡ you really don¡¯t have feelings for Xiaoxiao? Romantic feelings.¡±
¡°No,¡± Ye Sijue replied.
Mo Xiaomeng looked into his eyes. She was still confused, but she could see his earnestness from his eyes and thus trusted his words a little more.
Her heart, which had previously felt stifled, now felt more rxed.
Ye Sijue smiled as he reached out hisrge hand and cupped her cheek with it. His devilishly gorgeous face leaned in and his warm, masculine aura enveloped her face.

His devilish voice sounded in front of her, ¡°So, am I understanding right, that you are jealous?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng started, her little face showing signs of redness as she bashfully and instinctively replied, ¡°I¡¯m not! What are you talking about!¡±
Puh-lease!
She had only known him for a few days, and they had only gone so far as kissing a few times. It wasn¡¯t like they were in that kind of boy-girl rtionship. Why would she be jealous of him?
Ye Sijue¡¯s eyes curved as he said to her, ¡°I¡¯ll phrase that in another way then. Are you angry because you think that I have yed with your feelings?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not angry. When did I say that I was angry?¡± Mo Xiaomeng denied it.
Ye Sijue could tell from her expression, but he didn¡¯t question any further.
Now that he knew what the problem was, it was enough for him.
He said, ¡°Then are you willing to stay here now?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng wasn¡¯t angry with him anymore, and her voice softened as she said, ¡°It¡¯s not appropriate, is it? I think it¡¯s better if I stay with Xiaoxiao.¡±
She wanted to hang around with Xiaoxiao.
Ye Sijue muttered to himself. For some reason, he actually didn¡¯t force her to stay, and he said in a low voice, ¡°Okay then, have a good night¡¯s sleep here. I will contact Xiaoxiao tomorrow and then send you to her ce.¡±
Not expecting for him to agree with her, she stared at him with slight surprise.
Clearly¡ she was the one who suggested it. But when he yielded to her suggestion, Mo Xiaomeng felt strangely dejected.
Wasn¡¯t he going to urge her to stay?
¡
Mu Xiaoxiao returned to the condominium. As usual, she threw herself onto the sofa and grabbed a pillow into her arms.
¡°I¡¯m thirsty. I want water¡¡±
Looking up at the ceiling, herzy voice seemed to be speaking to the air.
A few secondster, a bottle of mineral water was brought before her.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat up with a smile, took the mineral water and found that the bottle cap had been opened.
And some of the water had also been drunk by him.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t mind as she drank from the bottle. Then she saw Yin Shaojie holding the camera that had been used to secretly take photos of them.
¡°Didn¡¯t you say that the photos were deleted? What¡¯s the use in bringing it back?¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled with dazzling sparkles in his eyes, ¡°Just because they have been deleted doesn¡¯t mean that there will be nothing left.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him uprehendingly.
If they had been deleted, then wouldn¡¯t there be nothing left? Why did he say it didn¡¯t mean that there would be nothing left? What was he saying?
Yin Shaojie put down the camera, went to the study, and brought out aptop.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat down cross-legged and watched him.
Yin Shaojie put the notebook on the coffee table and sat on the armchair next to it, connected the camera to theptop, and then his slender fingers began tapping furiously across the keyboard.
Mu Xiaoxiao was dumbstruck. It was the first time she saw someone typing so fast.
What was he doing?
Although she was very curious, she didn¡¯t disturb him but only drank the water as she watched his fingers dance.
Hugging the pillow, the corner of her mouth curled up in a smitten smile.
This version of Yin Shaojie looked super dashing!
After about ten minutes, Yin Shaojie finally stopped and stared at theputer screen.
¡°What is it? Is it done?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao poked her head over to look. From the edge of the screen, she could vaguely see something like a photo.
Yin Shaojie looked up at her and nodded. ¡°It¡¯s done.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled, her eyes widening in disbelief, and she waved her little hand and said, ¡°Really? Show me!¡±

Yin Shaojie turned theptop to face her.
Mu Xiaoxiao saw them. There were a lot of photos in the folder. Opening any random photo would show Yin Shaojie and her together, and there were even photos from a long time ago.
Astonished, she said, ¡°Is he really the one who secretly took photos of us?¡±
¡°Yeah,¡± Yin Shaojie replied.
Mu Xiaoxiao skipped to thest photo which was the photo that was secretly taken today.
She looked at Yin Shaojie and asked incredulously, ¡°So¡ you restored the photos that was deleted? You can do that?¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled, confidence brimming in his eyes. ¡°It¡¯s not difficult.¡±
bbergasted, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t keep her mouth closed.
It still wasn¡¯t difficult?
Embarrassed, she said, ¡°When did you be so good withputers? I didn¡¯t even know¡¡±
Once again, she felt as if she didn¡¯t know him as well as she had thought.
Yin Shaojie onlyughed without answering her.
During her four years in the States, there were many things that had happened around him and most of them were inconvenient for her to know.
He said, ¡°Alright, you should go take a shower now.¡±
Seeing that he didn¡¯t want to talk about it, she didn¡¯t force him and got up from the sofa. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go take a shower first. You can take your time with that then.¡±
Seeing her walk into the bathroom, Yin Shaojie then picked up his phone and made a phone call.
At the end of the call, he said, ¡°You can let him out now.¡±
The man who had been taking photos secretly was being interrogated in the police station, but he was unwilling to talk. Since there were no photos in the camera, he insisted on his position that he had not taken any secret photos.
However, now that Yin Shaojie had evidence, he didn¡¯t take it to the police.
When the police station received the call, they immediately released that man.
That man still thought that it was his boss who was helping him behind the scenes as he proudly walked out of the police station.
However, less than a minute after he left the police station, a car came and seized him.
When Yin Shaojie received report from his subordinates, he gave a few instructions and hung up.
He stared contemtively at the photos on theputer.
Although many of them were pictures of him and Xiaoxiao together, upon careful inspection, he found that, except for those showing him with Xiaoxiao, the rest were pictures of Xiaoxiao with some other people or pictures of Xiaoxiao alone.
In short, they all had Xiaoxiao in them.
Yin Shaojie wrung his brows. This meant that the other party¡¯s target was Xiaoxiao!
¡°Jie¡ª¡ª¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s voice came from the bathroom, drawing back his attention.
¡°What is it?¡± he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao sounded slightly embarrassed as she said, ¡°Juste here!¡±
Yin Shaojie got up from the sofa and walked to the bathroom door. His fingers curled up and knocked on the door. ¡°What is it?¡±
The sound of water from inside faded. Then Mu Xiaoxiao said ashamedly, ¡°Erm¡ I forgot to bring my pajamas in. Can you help me get them?¡±
¡°Pajamas? Oh, okay,¡± Yin Shaojie replied.
He went to the changing room in the bedroom, opened Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s wardrobe and scanned inside.
Vague amusement flitted across his eyes. His hand went in and picked, not the pajamas that she usually wore, but the one he bought¡ªthece pajamas. The material was thin, and the fabric was very soft and smooth and looked especially sexy.
Yin Shaojie went back to the bathroom door, knocked, and said, ¡°Open the door.¡±
Wrapped in a bath towel, Mu Xiaoxiao went behind the door, paused and then warned him, ¡°No shenanigans, do you hear me?¡±
¡°Do you want it or not?¡± Yin Shaojie asked straightforwardly.

¡°I want it!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, opening the door slightly. ¡°Pass it through here!¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled. He didn¡¯t do anything out of line as he obediently passed the pajamas to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly extended her little ws, grabbed the pajamas, and mmed the door shut.
Yin Shaojie leaned back against the wall and faced the bathroom door.
Just as he expected, the next second came her screaming from inside, ¡°Yin Shaojie! I told you to get my pajamas. What is this that you got me?¡±
In the bathroom, Mu Xiaoxiao was stupefied as she held the ckce pajamas in her hands.
In a fit of anger, she red at the door as though she wanted to shoot her re through it and at the bastard outside.
Yin Shaojie said slowly, ¡°Do you still remember what you promised me today?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She thought she had sessfully avoided getting a room, but she didn¡¯t expect him to remember.
Yin Shaojie said regrettably, ¡°We¡¯ll make it upter. The thing about getting a room, I mean.¡±
In a pleading voice, Mu Xiaoxiao asked, ¡°Then¡ can we also make up for this next time? Get me my pajamas, please!¡±
¡°No!¡± Yin Shaojie simply refused her.
¡°You bastard!¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled very happily. ¡°You can continue to scold me. Whatever you say to me, I will make ite trueter.¡±
Bastard, sloppy, perverted, and whatnot.
Later, he would demonstrate what each of these terms meant.
Knowing what he meant, Mu Xiaoxiao certainly didn¡¯t dare to continue scolding him.
She whimpered, ¡°It¡¯s so cold. Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll catch a cold? How can you be so heartless!¡±
¡°Can you hurry it up ande out of there?¡± Yin Shaojie said.
There were rustling noisesing from inside which sounded like clothes being put on.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know what else to do. She knew that he wouldn¡¯t be willing to go and get her pajamas. So she could only put on the ckce pajamas and then wrap a bath towel over it.
Yin Shaojie was still there, waiting for her toe out.
The person inside suddenly sneezed, and continued sneezing a few times consecutively.
Mu Xiaoxiao said pitifully, ¡°Uhuhuh, I think I really caught a cold! It¡¯s so cold, Jie. Can you go and help me make some ginger tea?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s thin lips lifted slightly in smile, and he replied, ¡°Okay.¡±
¡°Go quickly then!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said to him.
Yin Shaojie walked away from the wall, leaving the area, but when he turned the corner, he leaned against the wall.
Listening to the footsteps outside, Mu Xiaoxiao waited for a few more seconds.
Then she quietly opened the door, carefully scanned the coast, and found that Yin Shaojie was really not in sight.
She chuckled smugly, quickly pulled open the door, and ran out in slippers.
Yin Shaojie, who was hiding behind the wall, smirked, turned around and walked out to see her sneaking away.
Seeing as she was about to sneak back into the room, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a pair of arms hugging her thin waist from behind her.
¡°Ah! Why are you¡ Bastard, you tricked me!¡±
She then realized she was tricked. He hadn¡¯t gone to the kitchen, but he was only hiding and waiting to entrap her.
Yin Shaojie picked her up and reached the bed in only a few steps, before throwing her onto the bed.
Mu Xiaoxiao bounced on mattress. Before she could steady herself, she was already pinned down by Yin Shaojie¡¯s tall body.
¡°Take off the bath towel and let me see,¡± Yin Shaojie said in a sexy, husky voice, his eyes loitering on her exposed shoulders.
Fair and smooth shoulders, delicate and alluring vicle¡

The fresh smelling out of the showerbined with her girlish scent caused a stirring below his abdomen.
No man could endure such a beautiful view.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s throat worked up and down. His gaze deepened as it started from her neck and wandered down as if he was browsing a stunning piece of art.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt that his gaze was like fire.
Her face blushed as she clutched the bath towel around her chest tightly. ¡°Take it off? I don¡¯t want to! Why should I take it off!¡±
Yin Shaojie chuckled. ¡°If you don¡¯t take it off, how am I going to see how you look in those pajamas? You already put it on. Quickly, let me see it.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was very much at a loss as she hesitated.
But being pinned down by him, she had nowhere to run.
Then she gave in and tried to negotiate, saying, ¡°Then¡ you have to promise me you can only watch and you can¡¯t do anything else, okay?¡±
How could Yin Shaojie agree to something so impossible?
His eyes narrowed as he said menacingly, ¡°If you don¡¯t take it off, then I will do it myself.¡±
With that said, the demonic ws reached toward her.
¡°Hey!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao quickly pped away his hand, her ears red. Running through her thoughts again, she continued the negotiation, ¡°Y-you¡¯re very dirty, okay? Don¡¯t touch me! Go and take a shower. Go and take a shower a shower first, then we¡¯ll talk.¡±
Yin Shaojie thought for a moment and tried to reach apromise, saying, ¡°Then take it off first and let me see how you look. Then, I¡¯ll go take a shower.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked into his eyes and said, ¡°Those are your words, okay? You¡¯ll go take a shower after you see it.¡±
¡°Yeah,¡± Yin Shaojie nodded.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little hand clutched the bath towel tightly, then slowly took off, revealing the ckce pajamas underneath.
She felt so embarrassed, turning her eyes away. She didn¡¯t dare look at him.
Yin Shaojie stared down at her, his eyes riveted on her beautiful figure.
Her skin, contrasted against the ckce, looked even smoother and whiter like milk. It tempted him to worship every inch of her skin with his lips and taste the tenderness in all of her parts.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s breath became heavy.
Mu Xiaoxiao reached out her hand and pushed his chest. ¡°Are you done? Now go and take a shower!¡±
Yin Shaojie said in a husky voice, ¡°Then be good and wait for me in bed. I¡¯m telling you no changing out of it! Otherwise¡ I¡¯ll put it on you myself. Is that clear?¡±
¡°How can you do that!¡± she protested.
Yin Shaojie got up, his tone sinister and threatening as he said, ¡°I mean what I say. You can test me.¡±
He seemed to be looking forward for her doing this. He would be able to help her put it on.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help himself as he bent down and kissed her mouth. His voice was sexy and husky as he said, ¡°Be good and wait for me toe back.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was red to her ears as she pulled up the nket to cover herself.
¡°Hurry up and go already!¡±
Yin Shaojie smirked and finally he got off the bed. He went to the changing room, took his pajamas, and then walked out in a pleasant mood.
Ding dong! Just as he was about to enter the bathroom, the doorbell was heard from the living room.
It was the notification for an iing text message on his phone.
Yin Shaojie nced at the phone on the coffee table. It was already sote. Wondering if someone might be looking for him to report on any urgent matters, he thought for a moment before walking to it.
Picking up the phone, the contents of the new text message were disyed on the screen.
¡ª¡ªI¡¯ming back to China, and I¡¯ll be arriving at eight o¡¯clock tomorrow night. Can you pick me up at the airport?
After seeing the name of the sender, Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression became grave and he immediately deleted the text message.

After taking a shower Yin Shaojie went to the bedroom.
When the person on the bed heard the footsteps, she was startled. She quickly grabbed the nket and wrapped herself up with it.
Yin Shaojie entered the room and closed the door. Seeing the protruding lump on the bed, the corner of his mouth curled up in a sexy smile.
He strolled to the side of the bed and sat down.
Mu Xiaoxiao was curled up at the other side of the bed, pretending to be asleep, but she was chanting in her heart, ¡°Don¡¯te over. Don¡¯te over.¡±
In the next second, an arm reached over, grabbed her ankle, and dragged her toward him.
Shocked, Mu Xiaoxiao tried to struggle and kick away his hand.
But Yin Shaojie lifted the nket in a swish.
¡°Ah¡ª¡ª¡± Mu Xiaoxiao tried to snatch it back, but it was toote.
Yin Shaojie scanned her body and nodded satisfactorily. ¡°Not bad. Very obedient.¡±
She hadn¡¯t changed out of thece pajamas.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked down at her chest and crossed her hands to cover it, her face getting slightly hot.
¡°Can you stop looking? No sense of shame!¡±
This roguish look of his made her wish she could dig a hole and hide in it.
Just thinking about what he might do next, her heartbeat raced faster and faster. And there was a feeling as if there was something in her heart, filling it up, a feeling that she couldn¡¯t articte.
Yin Shaojie deliberately adjusted the room¡¯s lighting to a warm color. It was a light yellowish orange, not too yellow, and not too dim.
At least, he could then clearly see her beauty, her every frown and every smile, and the shy look on her face.
Stop looking?
How could he bear to do that?
Looking almost as though he was itching to engrave the image of her into his head, he gazed at her figure.
¡°How can I not look?¡± Yin Shaojie smiled in a very naughty and devilish manner. ¡°You are so beautiful. If I don¡¯t look, then wouldn¡¯t it be a waste?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t expect him to say such mushy words, and her face became even redder.
¡°You¡ go to sleep! I¡¯m sleepy, so don¡¯t bother me! I¡¯m going to sleep!¡± She quickly found an excuse.
However, Yin Shaojie actually went along with her and replied, ¡°Okay, let¡¯s sleep then.¡±
Another evil thought came to him, and he couldn¡¯t be happier. The tall body went down and enveloped her.
Seeing hime closer, she was a little nervous. Her little hand felt around by the side to see if there was anything that could be used to cover her.
Oh yeah!
Pillow!
Just when she thought of this, before she had even reached out her hand, he suddenly gripped her wrist.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face magnified before her eyes.
His warm breaths drew closer and mixed with hers.
She was so close to him that she could see her reflection from his eyes.
His deep eyes were filled with a clear view of herself.
Mu Xiaoxiao trembled slightly at her chest and instinctively closed her eyes.
¡°Xiaoxiao, open your eyes.¡±
There was a maic and husky voice beside her ear as though it was charming her.
Open her eyes?
¡°Be good,¡± he said again.
Not being able to refuse, she really obeyed his instructions.
Yin Shaojie seemed very pleased, his slender fingers stroked her soft cheeks, caressing affectionately, his eyes also filled with tender affection.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt herself blushing and her heartbeat elerating. Her little hand pressed against his chest and grasped the cor of his pajamas.
Her heart was beating so fast it might just pop out of her chest.
¡°What¡ are you doing?¡± she asked.
¡°I want to kiss you,¡± he said. Then, he acted on it.

Today, Yin Shaojie¡¯s kisses were really gentle.
However, that was only the start. Slowly, his nature began to rear its ugly head, and unable to control himself, he kissed her more and more passionately, as though he wished that he could swallow her up.
As he kissed her, he looked down at the sight of her body below.
Her fair and slender legs were writhing from the intensity of his kiss, causing thece on her thighs to ride upwards.
This fabric wasn¡¯t long in the first ce and had barely covered half her thighs.
If it was riding up her thighs that was great¡
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a cooling sensation below. Shocked, she opened her eyes suddenly.
¡°Hey!¡± She tried to stop him hurriedly, but one of her hands was currently held by him. She could only use the other hand to pull the hem of her skirt down.
Yin Shaojie released her lips and looked downwards. Suddenly, his gaze turned very hot.
Her breasts¡
Her posture had caused her chest to bepressed together, revealing an attractive cleavage.
However, there was something even more arousing!
Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze darkened.
D*mmit, she wasn¡¯t wearing a bra!
Mu Xiaoxiao had also realized this when she felt the cooling sensation below.
Previously, her thoughts had been running wild as she was curled up in the sheets while he was showering. She had debated whether to change into another set of pajamas.
Of course, she had really wanted to change into them. This was the first time she had been so scantily d and it felt really unnatural. However, when she recalled his gaze before she left, she was really certain that he would do something to her if she did!
She remembered his threat then.
If she had dared to change out of this outfit, he would help her change back into it.
This threat was a little scary. However, she couldn¡¯t make up her mind and didn¡¯t change out of it in the end.
Moreover, being covered by her sheets felt a little suffocating, and feeling her thoughts be muddled, she could only poke her head out to breathe first.
Unexpectedly, he hade back suddenly after she had stuck her head out for only a little, and her instinct was to duck back into the sheets.
Thus¡
She hadpletely forgotten that he had brought her pajamas to her without her underwear. She couldn¡¯t wear her soiled underwear from before and thus, she had nothing on under this set of pajamas.
The rm bells in Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s head started ringing.
If she didn¡¯t even have her underwear as ast line of defense, then wouldn¡¯t he get his way with her and be able to do whatever he wanted?
¡°Y-You¡ Wait! Can you let me¡¡±
Let her put on some underwear?
Yin Shaojie would never agree to this, of course!
His eyes narrowed and he lowered his handsome face right in front of hers. The pair¡¯s faces were less than one centimeter apart and he looked as if he could kiss her any second.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused. She gazed into his eyes, dark and bright as stars, and saw the fire that had been lit inside.
Her heart started to beat wildly again.
Yin Shaojie pecked at her lips. His voice sounded dark as he said, ¡°Rx. I promised you that I won¡¯t go all the way¡¡±
Even though he really wanted to eat her up right now¡
Mu Xiaoxiao jolted. She didn¡¯t feel as anxious now that she had heard his promise. However, she was still naturally bashful, and when hisrge hand touched her thigh, the atmosphere intensified.
¡°Y-You¡¡± In her anxiety, she was at a loss for words.
¡°Really, I¡¯m only going to touch you. Don¡¯t be nervous, rx a bit more,¡± Yin Shaojie coaxed her with his sexy voice, kissing the corner of her lips and her cheek before his lipsnded on her earlobe.

The low voice right by her ear moved her even more.
¡°Just enjoy it and don¡¯t think about anything. Be a good girl and close your eyes¡¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s hand lingered on her thigh. The soft and delicate skin there was exquisite to the touch, and it made him reluctant to move his hand.
Upon seeing his hand move further up her thigh, Mu Xiaoxiao used her little hands to push against his chest.
Yin Shaojie released her earlobe and lifted his eyes and met her eyes.
She red at him, but her misty eyes didn¡¯t seem threatening at all.
Yin Shaojie smirked as he admired this coquettish image of her.
¡°Can¡¯t handle it already? There are other more exciting thingsing up¡¡± His voice was so low that it made her heart speed up.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him bashfully. O-Other more exciting things?
What else was he going to do!
Yin Shaojie kissed the tip of her nose. In a tone that sounded both fervent and adoring, he said, ¡°Did you think that you can only do those things on a bed? There are many other things you can do, and I can teach you tonight.¡±
¡°Who wants your instruction¡ I¡¯m not learning.¡± The voice that came out of Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mouth was now slightly hoarse.
She didn¡¯t even need to think to know that wicked things were going toe out of his mouth.
¡°That¡¯s not up to you to decide. It¡¯s no big deal if you don¡¯t want to learn. Just watch how I do it obediently.¡± He smiled. His lips traveled downwards from her lips in a trail of kisses.
The wetness spread from her jaw to her neck.
Mu Xiaoxiao was forced to throw her head back, to let him pepper her fair neck with dense kisses.
Then, his lips traveled down and kissed her corbone.
Evidently, Yin Shaojie took a special liking to this spot, and his lips lingered around the area.
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to recall something suddenly and said hastily, ¡°B-Be careful¡ Don¡¯t leave any more marks again¡¡±
She had to go to ss tomorrow and this was a spot that was easily exposed. What if people saw it?
Yin Shaojie¡¯s low voice was tinged with amusement as he said, ¡°Yes, ma¡¯am.¡±
Narrowing his eyes, he thought about it for a while. The weather would get colder soon, and she would be able to wear high-cored fur coats. He would then be able to leave many marks at this spot, and she could go to ss with them.
This was an unsavory addiction of boys.
His gaze deepened. If he couldn¡¯t kiss her here now, he would then¡
He smirked. He could leave a mark where her skin was covered by her clothes, and it would be hidden then.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt his kiss travel even more downwards, and his sucking intensifying.
¡°Stop fooling around¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t move around. Be more obedient.¡±
It was still early. They still had two hours to make out on the bed before going to sleep.
¡°Ah, Yin Shaojie, I told you not to kiss me there!¡±
¡°Why can¡¯t I kiss you there? No one will be able to see this. Rx, I¡¯ll be very careful.¡±
¡°Ungh uh¡¡±
In the room, the sounds of pleasureing out from Mu Xiaoxiao could be heard intermittently.
¡
Mu Xiaoxiao woke up reallyte because ofst night¡¯s events. She didn¡¯t feel like getting up and she wanted to loll on her bed.
However, Yin Shaojie was really bossy and tried to carry her out of the bed by force.
¡°You jerk! You did that to mest night¡ and you¡¯re still not letting me sleep!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and pummeled her little fists on his chest.
¡°You¡¯re going to bete if you don¡¯t get up for school soon.¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao struggled, trying to get down. ¡°Don¡¯t carry me out. I want to change clothes! I want to change my clothes first!¡±
Lowering her head and seeing her current outfit made her recall the events of the previous night.
He had indeed fulfilled his promise and didn¡¯t go all the way.
However, the things he did¡
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face became redder as she thought about it. She pushed him away forcefully and ran into the cloakroom, shutting the door with a bang.
Yin Shaojie stood at the door. It was obvious that he was really happy, and his handsome face was all smiles.
He knocked on the door. ¡°Hurry up with the changing then, or we¡¯ll bete.¡±
¡°I know!¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at the door and smiled before exiting the bedroom and entering the shower.
In the cloakroom, Mu Xiaoxiao stood with her back against the door, as though trying to prevent him from forcing his way in.
She cupped her cheeks and could feel a feverish hotness.
She took a few breaths before walking over to choose her clothes.
When she walked past the mirror, she stopped and stared at her reflection.
The ckce pajamas were very rumpled. They revealed the top of her round and tender breasts and they looked attractive from every angle.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused and her gaze fell onto her chest.
She went closer to the mirror and pulled the fabric down. Her chest was densely covered in hickeys.
Goodness gracious!
She knew what he had done the night before, but didn¡¯t know that it had been so overboard.
¡°Yin Shaojie, you jerk!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao scolded while blushing.
She stood up straight. Mysterious, she felt that her chest had again¡
The blush on her face deepened.
It must have been caused by his actionsst night¡
Mu Xiaoxiao used her hands to fan her face. She couldn¡¯t take it anymore. She must forget the events ofst night. If not, she was going to explode if she continued to think about it.
She pushed the thought to the back of her mind hurriedly before walking over to her wardrobe to pick out her clothes.
She chose to wear dark colors because of what went through her mind.
After changing her clothes, she walked out of the cloakroom only to bump into Yin Shaojie.
With a hand in his pocket, he studied her dressing while smiling and said, ¡°Changing your style today?¡±
She usually liked to wear light-colored clothing.
Mu Xiaoxiao blushed. She felt like his gaze was mocking her and pushed him away. ¡°Why do you care! Didn¡¯t you say that we¡¯re about to bete? Hurry up and change then!¡±
She rushed out of the room and jumped into the shower.
Behind her, Yin Shaojie looked at her silhouette. He started to whistle a happy little tune and entered the cloakroom to find some clothes.
After washing up anding out of the shower, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t see him and thought that he might still be in the room.
She walked to the living room and her stomach started to grumble.
She sniffed the air, smelling something delicious.
She looked toward the dining table and saw that there was a variety of breakfast foods on the table.
Eh? There was breakfast!
When did this guy purchase breakfast?
Mu Xiaoxiao walked over quickly and sat down. She realized that they were all her favorite breakfast foods, all of them still warm.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s tall figure walked out from the kitchen. His handsome face was smiling as he handed her a cup.
¡°Have some warm milk first.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thumbed her nose at him. ¡°Milk? Are you trying to treat me like a kid?¡±
Yin Shaojie sat down opposite to her. His eyes were smiling as he said, ¡°I¡¯m offering it to you so you might as well drink it to warm up your stomach before you eat anything else.¡±
Even though he had been the one who was busyst night, she had also lost energy, and must have been hungry for a while now.

Chapter 626: As Long As You Can Be With Me
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
This girl was a big eater and alwaysined that she was hungry before mealtimes.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that what he had said sounded logical. She stopped arguing with him and drank the milk.
Yin Shaojie ate his breakfast. Suddenly, he said, ¡°Didn¡¯t we say that we were going camping previously? How about going somewhere else instead?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao gulped the entire ss of milk down and blinked at his words. ¡°Going somewhere else? Where to?¡±
¡°I¡¯m still thinking about it. I¡¯ll tell you when I think of something. Or do you have anywhere you want to go?¡±
He smiled, looking a little mysterious.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said casually, ¡°Anything¡¯s fine.¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded. Looking into her eyes, he smiled as he said, ¡°I know what you¡¯re trying to say ¡ª so long as we¡¯re together, it doesn¡¯t matter where we go?¡±
¡°You¡¯re shameless! Since when did I say that!¡± She rolled her eyes at his cheekiness.
The pair had been bickering all throughout breakfast and thought they were going to bete. Yin Shaojie drove at top speed, and when they arrived at Shangde, there were still students walking into school.
¡°Luckily we aren¡¯tte!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked out, and chanced upon An Zhixin¡¯s figure.
An Zhixin was with a boy. The two of them were talking happily as they emerged from a shop.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned, and she recognized the boy as An Zhixin¡¯s table mate.
They were on such good terms even though they¡¯ve only known each other for one day?
She couldn¡¯t help but to think about Yu Zhe. The both of them had gone to eat in the cafeteria together on their first day of knowing each other.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Yin Shaojie beside her subconsciously.
Oh yeah, they had met Yin Shaojie in the cafeteria that one time. She had been jealous that he was with another girl, and had pretended to be intimate with Yu Zhe to provoke him.
Yin Shaojie looked at her and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
She had been staring in An Zhixin¡¯s direction with a weird expression.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±
It seemed as though she had used Yu Zhe a few times. However, not only had he not gotten angry at her, he had also tolerated it.
Yin Shaojie drove into the campus and parked his car in the parking lot.
Mu Xiaoxiao continued to think. She hadn¡¯t treated Yu Zhe very well, and he had helped her out more than she helped him. She was also stubborn, and had forced him to amodate her without considering his feelings.
When the English teacher had attacked her, he was also the one who helped her out.
He thought that she had some kind of rtionship with Yin Shaojie, and worrying that she would be hurt by a big flirt such as him, had cautioned and fretted over her.
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed and leaned against the car door.
After Yin Shaojie parked the car, he said, ¡°It¡¯s parked.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. She looked a little off as she got off the car slower than usual.
Yin Shaojie walked over and embraced her. He patted her head and said, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Are you feeling ill? What are you thinking about? You look so dazed.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him faintly and said, ¡°I suddenly feel like I¡¯m a bad person.¡±
¡°Why do you say that?¡±
¡°I thought that I had been a really good person, and thought that I had been a good friend to Yu Zhe. Now that I think about it, it seems as though he had been the one who had taken care of me and amodated my behavior.¡±
Yin Shaojie stopped in his tracks. ¡°So you mean that you¡¯re going to forgive him?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head, ¡°Of course not.¡±
She had already said that she wouldn¡¯t forgive him.
¡°Oh yeah, what happened to Han Xue¡¯er in the end?¡± She had not taken the initiative to ask about how the incident ended, but she had expected him to take the initiative to tell her first. Perhaps he didn¡¯t because he was afraid that she would be unhappy.

However, she was okay now. Even if she thought about Yu Zhe¡¯s betrayal, she felt as if she had already gotten over it.
¡°It¡¯s been passed to the police to take care of. She has to be sentenced because she kidnapped you.¡±
He didn¡¯t n to tell her how long her sentence would be, however.
This was because he had involved himself in it.
Originally, Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s family had been pulling strings to reduce Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s sentence. If they had been sessful, she would only need to be jailed for a few months before being released.
However, with Yin Shaojie¡¯s interference, her sentence had increased, and she was now to be jailed for ten years.
Yin Shaojie felt like ten years was still too short for Han Xue¡¯er.
However, he didn¡¯t have the magnanimity to let Han Xue¡¯er go just like this. She wasn¡¯t going to live a good life in jail either.
With the knowledge of this result, Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her head and understood enough.
She didn¡¯t want to know anything more.
¡°Alright, you can stop apanying me and you don¡¯t have to chaperon me upstairs.¡± Upon seeing that they were about to arrive at her building, she stopped him hurriedly.
Yin Shaojie stopped in his tracks and stuck a hand into his pocket. ¡°Alright.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him. He clearly had no intention of moving because he was still looking at her.
¡°Why aren¡¯t you leaving? Hurry up and go. It¡¯s almost ss time, so you should hurry to your ss.¡±
Yin Shaojie pursed his lips. ¡°You haven¡¯t given it to me.¡±
¡°Given you what?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled.
He pointed at his cheek, and moved his handsome face forwards.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at his face and her lips curled up into a smirk gradually. ¡°So you were referring to this? Alright, I¡¯ll give it to you.¡±
She stretched her palm t just as she finished speaking and pressed it to his face, pushing it away from hers.
She then ran into the building while roaring withughter.
Behind her, Yin Shaojie shook his head, smiling as he looked at her.
¡
In the ssroom.
Mu Xiaoxiao walked into ss happily.
Just as she sat on her seat, a girl from across the aisle turned around. Smiling, the girl greeted, ¡°Good morning, Mu Xiaoxiao.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little shocked, but smiled back politely, ¡°Good morning.¡±
¡°Have you had breakfast? I bought a lot of Tianjin-style jianbing. Do you want some? They¡¯re delicious.¡±
Tianjin-style jianbing?
Originally, Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to rejected her. However, upon hearing these words, she paused.
They didn¡¯t sell Tianjin-style jianbing overseas. She saw them on Weibo frequently, but was unable to get her hands on them even though she had wanted some and had developed a craving for them for a while.
She said a little bashfully, ¡°May I really?¡±
The girl smiled at her reply and offered the food to her immediately. ¡°Of course you may! I wasn¡¯t just being polite.¡±
¡°Thanks.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao took it. She could smell its delicious aroma.
She was already full from breakfast at home, but her gluttony was rearing its head again.
Just then, another girl asked, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, do you want something to drink? I¡¯ve got extra here.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her table. She thought that she would be thirsty after having the Tianjin-style jianbing, and would feel a little ufortable if she had nothing to drink.
Seeing that the girl was being genuine, she nodded. ¡°Okay, thanks.¡±
After that, a few other ssmates greeted her voluntarily.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt as though she was experiencing something for the first time. What was going on now? Why were all her ssmates suddenly trying to get close to her?
When An Zhixin walked into ss she saw Mu Xiaoxiao surrounded by ssmates. Mu Xiaoxiao appeared to be very popr with her ssmates and all of them seemed to be really warm and friendly towards her.
She stopped in her tracks and a wave of jealousy shed across her eyes.
Why was Mu Xiaoxiao so blessed? She had everything!

Puzzled, the boy behind her looked at An Zhixin, tapped her, and asked, ¡°Zhixin, what¡¯s the matter?¡±
¡°Nothing, ¡± An Zhixin snapped out of it and said sullenly. And she stomped over and sat down at her seat.
Mu Xiaoxiao, who was eating, paused, and out of habit, looked up at the seat in front.
Even though she knew that Yu Zhe had dropped out of school and wouldn¡¯t appear again, when she saw An Zhixin she still felt a little unustomed as her eyebrows wrinkled.
An Zhixin looked sullen as though she was angry with someone. She turned her head and shot a look at Mu Xiaoxiao from the corner of her eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt the unfriendliness in her nce, but she wasn¡¯t too bothered about it since they weren¡¯t very close to start with.
That boy, the one who sat at the same desk as An Zhixin, had also returned to his seat. Concerned, he asked An Zhixin, ¡°Zhixin, are you feeling unwell? Was there a problem with the breakfast just now?¡±
¡°No, I¡¯m fine.¡± An Zhixin replied casually.
When the other students overheard their conversation, they knew that the two had breakfast together, and they all gave suggestive looks.
Seeing as the ss was going to start soon, Mu Xiaoxiao sped up her eating. The crepe was simply too tasty and hot. She didn¡¯t want to save half of it to eat after ss because it wouln¡¯t be as good.
When she had just finished eating, the teacher entered the ssroom.
Today there was an English ss. Just as the male students had wished, the new teacher was a female. She was quite young and appeared to have a good personality.
In an instant, the male students in the ss all turned into wolves, howling in ss and apuding like it was some huge event.
The female teacher was very happy as she kept smiling.
Mu Xiaoxiao propped up her chin with one hand as she watched the scene before her. It was a really nice, warm and harmonious sight.
She carelessly looked at An Zhixin¡¯s seat again, wondering if Yu Zhe would be happy if could see this scene. After all, he also hated the previous English teacher.
During the ss.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt very bored as sheid herself on the table. When Yu Zhe was still around, he would share all kinds of gossip with her. Ten minutes in ss would pass in the blink of an eye, but now it seemed so long.
The boy in front turned back and whispered to the person sharing a desk with An Zhixin, ¡°Which school did Yu Zhe transfer to?¡±
¡°How would I know? He probably still hasn¡¯t transferred yet. He still hasn¡¯t settled the situation at home. He probably won¡¯t be going to school for the time being.¡±
¡°Sigh, without that guy, it feels like there¡¯s less energy around here. I don¡¯t even get to hear gossip anymore. Is the situation with his family that troublesome?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not just troublesome¡ Sigh. Anyways, it¡¯s not something that we can help with. He¡¯s pretty miserable right now.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at her phone, deep in her thoughts.
She grabbed her phone and stood up to walk out.
Unfortunately, An Zhixin suddenly stretched out her leg and almost tripped Mu Xiaoxiao. Though Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t fall, her elbow hit the other table and it hurt badly.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, are you okay?¡± the girl sitting opposite asked worriedly, seeing the look of her holding her elbow, her face all puckered up.
Frowning, Mu Xiaoxiao still shook her head and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±
The girl looked angrily at An Zhixin and said, ¡°You did that intentionally, right?¡±
The girl sitting beside her also echoed, ¡°Exactly, Mu Xiaoxiao was just going to walk over, and she stretched out her leg. What is it if not intentional? This person is too much. We¡¯re all ssmates here. Is there a need to hurt others like this?¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
An Zhixin¡¯s face turned green, and she argued, ¡°I didn¡¯t mean it! How could I know that she was just going out? I was just trying to stretch my legs, and she didn¡¯t watch where she was walking. How can you me me for this? Be reasonable!¡±
The other girls said, ¡°What do you mean she didn¡¯t watch where she was walking? If you suddenly stretch out your leg, how could she have seen it?¡±
¡°Exactly, you did it intentionally. Who could have guarded against that?¡±
¡°I think she must be jealous of Mu Xiaoxiao. Wasn¡¯t it mentioned on Weibo that she only transferred to Shangde because of Young Master Jie? And since Mu Xiaoxiao is Young Master Jie¡¯s girlfriend, how could An Zhixin not be resentful?¡±
Many people followed the Shangde Gossip Society, so they all knew about the discussion on Weibo and agreed with thisment.
An Zhixin shouted angrily, ¡°Who says I¡¯m jealous of her? I¡¯m not!¡±
¡°Humph, I have clearly seen it many times, the way that she looked at Mu Xiaoxiao with her unfriendly stares. Whichever way you look at her, you can tell she¡¯s jealous, and yet she still refuses to admit it.¡±
¡°What¡¯s so hard about admitting to jealousy? Even I dare to admit how damned jealous I am of Mu Xiaoxiao.¡±
An Zhixin said angrily, ¡°Who would be jealous of her! What¡¯s there to be jealous about? Her grades are so bad. If it wasn¡¯t for Young Master Jie, would she have entered ss S!¡±
In a fit of anger, she blurted out her hidden thoughts.
The students in the ss suddenly felt that the sight of her was disgusting.
The person sharing An Zhixin¡¯s desk felt awkward as he looked at everyone and said, ¡°Alright, we¡¯re all ssmates, don¡¯t quarrel. Zhixin didn¡¯t do it intentionally and only identally stretched out her leg.¡±
¡°So she didn¡¯t do it intentionally just because you said so?¡±
¡°Yeah, I think she must have done it intentionally.¡±
Watching and hearing how these people were all voluntarily protecting Mu Xiaoxiao, An Zhixin felt stifled.
She turned to re at Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°I don¡¯t care whether you believe it or not! In any case, I didn¡¯t do it intentionally!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had just been rubbing her elbow. After soothing the pain, she said, ¡°Never mind.¡±
She didn¡¯t believe it was just a coincidence at first, but after seeing how An Zhixin denied so vehemently, she didn¡¯t want to pursue the matter any further.
Next time, she just had to be more careful.
The other students said, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, don¡¯t be so kind. If you forgive her once, she will hurt you again.¡±
¡°Yeah, you should tell Young Master Jie and let him do you justice. I really don¡¯t believe she didn¡¯t do it intentionally.¡±
¡°You¡¡± An Zhixin wanted to refute them, but she was not very skilled in this aspect. It used to be Wang Shiyu who would help her with these. Now that she needed these skills, she missed Shiyu.
The person sharing her desk said, ¡°Alright, Mu Xiaoxiao has already magnanimously dismissed the matter, so let¡¯s just forget it.¡±
An Zhixin thought that he would defend her, but she didn¡¯t expect to hear such a sentence.
Mu Xiaoxiao, magnanimous?
Wasn¡¯t that indirectly saying that it was her fault?
Then, her deskmate tugged at her clothes and whispered beside her, ¡°Why not apologize to Mu Xiaoxiao? After all, she is Young Master Jie¡¯s girlfriend. It doesn¡¯t do you good to provoke her.¡±
An Zhixin¡¯s face became swollen with anger. ¡°It wasn¡¯t intentional. Why should I apologize?¡±
The atmosphere was exactly the opposite when she had arrived yesterday and she found it hard to take it all in.
These boys were still fawning over her yesterday.
Why didn¡¯t they help her instead of Mu Xiaoxiao?

Chapter 630: He¡¯s My Man (3)

An Zhixin never expected these people¡¯s attitudes to have changed so much in just a day¡¯s time.
Mu Xiaoxiao said indifferently, ¡°No need to apologize. Just be careful next time.¡±
The break was going to end soon and she had something urgent to do so she went out of the ssroom after saying this.
After Mu Xiaoxiao left, An Zhixin was put in a more difficult spot, receiving the res of everyone in the room. Thus, she couldn¡¯t stay any longer and furiously rushed out of the ssroom.
An Zhixin hid in a secluded corner and stamped her foot angrily as though Mu Xiaoxiao was beneath her feet.
A few momentster, she heard footsteps approaching and also the sound of boys in the middle of a discussion.
¡°This An Zhixin is really overestimating herself. She actually dared to do that to Mu Xiaoxiao in such a brazen manner. I have seen stupid, but not this stupid.¡±
¡°In this entire school, who doesn¡¯t know how much Young Master Jie pampers Mu Xiaoxiao? Anyone who dares to provoke Mu Xiaoxiao is just asking for death.¡±
¡°Sigh, do you think shees from a powerful family? How else would she dare to do this and not fear Young Master Jie¡¯s revenge?¡±
¡°Heheh, powerful family? Don¡¯t you know? Someone has already exposed her on the Inte. She¡¯s not some rich missy. She used to study at Second High, so she¡¯s just a poor person.¡±
¡°Eh? Then why did she suddenly transfer to our school and enter ss S?¡±
¡°Who knows? Maybe someone is just using her as a toy for fun. I¡¯ll tell you an inside story. I heard that she used to cling around Young Master Jie and even said that she was Young Master Jie¡¯s friend. Then, she got exposed and the truth pped her face. This is what I heard from her own friend.¡±
¡°Wow, how shameless is that? Who does she think she is, saying that she is a friend of Young Master Jie? Does she think it¡¯s so easy to be friends with Young Master Jie?¡±
¡°Hey, why aren¡¯t you talking? Don¡¯t tell me you really like that An Zhixin?¡±
¡°No, what are you driveling about?¡±
An Zhixin¡¯s heart stopped for a moment as she recognized that this voice was her deskmate¡¯s.
The other person teased him, ¡°Aren¡¯t you very close to her? You even had breakfast with her. I thought you wanted to woo her.¡±
¡°You must be kidding. Why would I woo her, a poor person? If you knew about these things, you should have told me earlier. I actually thought that she was some rich family¡¯s daughter. What a waste of my feelings.¡±
Hearing this, An Zhixin felt her heart drop and a chilly feeling inside.
¡°You should be careful yourself. If she wants to provoke Mu Xiaoxiao, let her seek her death. Stop speaking up for her.¡±
¡°I know. I don¡¯t want to get on Young Master Jie¡¯s bad side.¡±
Then, the ss bell rang, and the boys left and went back to the ssroom.
But An Zhixin didn¡¯t move, staring vacantly at the wall in front of her, a mess of awful emotions in her heart.
So it turned out that she had already been seen through¡
It was no wonder that the ssmates had a 180 degrees change in their attitude toward her.
Suddenly, the image of Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face and how he protected Mu Xiaoxiao surfaced in her mind.
If she had been Yin Shaojie¡¯s girlfriend instead¡
Everything those people said ran through her head. Every sentence implied Yin Shaojie¡¯s supreme status in this school.
An Zhixin gripped her hand tightly.
As long as she could be Yin Shaojie¡¯s girlfriend, everything would be different then, right?
Then she wouldn¡¯t be despised, right?
¡
It was another ss break.
Mu Xiaoxiao went to the toilet. When she came out of the cubicle, she saw An Zhixin unexpectedly.
Chapter 631 - He’s My Man (4)
Chapter 631: He¡¯s My Man (4)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
An Zhixin looked straight at her as though she was waiting for her, her expression looking as though she had been wronged.
Mu Xiaoxiao darted her gaze away as if she couldn¡¯t see her and walked over to wash her hands.
An Zhixin called out to her, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t feel like being bothered by her. After washing her hands, she shook the water off her hands and started to leave.
An Zhixin blocked her path, bit her lip, and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to do it just now!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at her and thought it was funny.
So that aggrieved expression of hers was to tell her that she had wrongly used her?
¡°I told you. It doesn¡¯t matter.¡±
It was not that she was magnanimous, but that she was toozy to pursue the matter lest An Zhixin would continue to pester her about it.
Perhaps she really didn¡¯t mean for it to happen.
Seeing how kind she was, An Zhixin was angered instead. What a good actress! Was this what Yin Shaojie liked about her?
Was it because she was too straightforward and not pretentious enough that Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t like her?
Mu Xiaoxiao thought her expression looked quite funny too.
An Zhixin didn¡¯t look like she was here to apologize to her but only looking for her out of resentment.
¡°An Zhixin, I don¡¯t know why you are in Shangde. I hope you didn¡¯te for Yin Shaojie, because you have to understand something¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared straight at her with a sharp gaze and announced, ¡°He¡¯s my man! I don¡¯t like other people coveting my man. Do you understand me?¡±
An Zhixin was paralyzed by the look in her eyes, and she couldn¡¯t help but feel fearful as though Mu Xiaoxiao had really intimidated her.
H-how dare she say this!
This is just too arrogant!
Pale-faced, An Zhixin retorted, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, aren¡¯t you being too arrogant? How can you say this! Everyone knows that Young Master Jie changes his girlfriends often. How long do you think you canst?¡±
¡°How long?¡± Mu Xiaoxiaoughed. Her bright, ck eyes were brimming with confidence, and she slowly said, ¡°Forever.¡±
She added, ¡°And he is mine alone.¡±
¡°You¡ª¡ª¡± An Zhixin looked at her furiously.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°An Zhixin, stop daydreaming and wake up.¡±
Having said that, she didn¡¯t want to waste any more breath on her, and she was going to walk past An Zhixin.
But in a moment¡¯s impulse, An Zhixin reached out and grabbed her clothes, her neck swollen as she shouted, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, you are the one who is daydreaming!¡±
She had initially intended to re at Mu Xiaoxiao, but when she instinctively shifted her gaze down, her eyes froze.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked down at the cor of her shirt that was pulled open, revealing the semicircle of her chest and the love bites printed on it.
Even those who had no experience with romantic rtionships would understand what these things were.
¡°You¡¡± An Zhixin¡¯s hand trembled, her eyes shaking like earthquakes.
Mu Xiaoxiao swatted her hand away and adjusted her clothes.
¡°Remember what I just said.¡±
With that said, she walked out of the washroom.
¡
In the afternoon after school, Yin Shaojie personally came to Year One¡¯s ss S to pick up Mu Xiaoxiao.
When An Zhixin saw him, her body stiffened, and she couldn¡¯t control herself as she watched him with smitten eyes.
He¡ was still so handsome, shining with boundless radiance as if he was born to be in the limelight.
She just watched as he walked toward her dashingly, with one hand in his pocket.
This scene yed slowly in An Zhixin¡¯s mind as though he hade especially for her.
Her thoughts were a flustered mess, wondering how she should greet him. If he were to ask why she was here, how should she answer him?

However, as though he didn¡¯t see her, Yin Shaojie walked past her and stood at Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s desk.
Yin Shaojie smiled flippantly, leaned over on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s desk and said, ¡°Let¡¯s eat at a different ce today. It¡¯s getting tiring eating at the same restaurants all the time.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°Okay. Where are we going to eat?¡±
¡°Where do you want to go?¡±
¡°I¡¯m fine with anywhere,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said as she packed her things.
Yin Shaojie also helped her to pack up and said, ¡°Would you like to eat other cuisines? Japanese, Korean, Thai, or German?¡±
¡°We had Japanese food that day. Let¡¯s have something else today.¡±
¡°Korean?¡±
¡°Okay, sure,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao replied, but immediately changed her mind, saying, ¡°I don¡¯t want Korean. Thai style then. I suddenly feel like eating Thai dishes.¡±
¡°Okay, we¡¯ll eat Thai cuisine then. Let¡¯s go.¡± Yin Shaojie waited for her to carry the bag, held her little hand, and the two went out together.
The few girls, who had started to talk to Mu Xiaoxiao, waved and said goodbye to her.
An Zhixin stared nkly with a stiff expression, watching their backs and tears started to gather in her eyes.
How could he treat her like this¡
An Zhixin knew that Yin Shaojie must have seen her, but he pretended not to know her as though she was just an insignificant passerby.
Remembering how he had once saved her and treated her well,pared to how indifferent he was toward her now, An Zhixin¡¯s heart was hurting.
The girls on the sideline watched her scornfully.
¡°Some people ought to really look at themselves in the mirror. Does she really think that by wearing big brand name clothes, she would be a rich missy? A sparrow will always remain a sparrow. It won¡¯t ever turn into a phoenix.¡±
¡°Aiyoh, I¡¯m really envious. Young Master Jie is so gentle and thoughtful toward Mu Xiaoxiao. I have never seen Young Master Jie treating any of his previous girlfriends so well before. He pampers her so much that I can¡¯t even.¡±
¡°That¡¯s why I say Young Master Jie really loves Mu Xiaoxiao. It¡¯s real love, understand?¡±
The few girls casted contemptuous nces at An Zhixin and walked out of the ssroom haughtily.
As though she was sshed with cold water, An Zhixin felt cold as she sat and stared nkly.
The deskmate, who had eaten breakfast with her in the morning, made ns and went off with the other boys as if he hadn¡¯t seen her nk expression.
¡
Yin Shaojie and friends drove to a Thai-style restaurant. Just when he sat down, his phone rang.
He said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°It¡¯s Sijue.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened, and she quickly shifted herself closer to Yin Shaojie to listen in on the conversation.
Yin Shaojie smiled and answered the phone.
Song Shijun and Han Qiqing looked at them strangely.
As Yin Shaojie answered the phone, he passed the iPad over to Song Shijun to have him order the dishes.
Song Shijun flipped through the menu on the iPad and asked, ¡°Great Mistress Mu, what do you want to eat?¡±
¡°I¡¯m fine with anything,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was focused not on the food, but on Mo Xiaomeng.
Song Shijun shifted the iPad over slightly to let Han Qiqing have a look and asked her what she wanted to eat.
On one side, the two were ordering food.
And on the other side, the other two were listening on the phone.
Ye Sijue asked on the phone, ¡°Are you dismissed from school already? Where are you eating? I¡¯ll head over now.¡±
Yin Shaojie nced at Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°We are eating outside. Are youing by yourself, or¡ together with Mo Xiaomeng?¡±
¡°With her,¡± Ye Sijue simply replied.
Chapter 633 - Hes My Man (6)
Chapter 633: He¡¯s My Man (6)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t hear this and her entire little face was almost touching Yin Shaojie¡¯s.
Seeing her like this made Song Shijun want to tease her. However, upon realizing what Yin Shaojie had said, his eyes widened.
When Yin Shaojie hung up, he interrogated him immediately.
¡°Young Master Jie, did you mention someone called Mo Xiaomeng? That¡¯s a girl¡¯s name, isn¡¯t it? Sijue¡¯s with a girl? Since when did he get a girlfriend? Why don¡¯t I know about this!¡±
Yin Shaojie smirked. He met Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s gaze and said, ¡°I think¡ she¡¯s not his girlfriend.¡±
At least, she wasn¡¯t his girlfriend yet, based on the current situation.
Song Shijun said, ¡°You think? I think she is! I¡¯ve never seen Sijue get intimate with any girl before. There are even rumors that he doesn¡¯t even get close to girls! Now he¡¯s hanging out with a girl, and that girl¡¯s not his girlfriend? That¡¯s nonsense!¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled. ¡°You can ask him about it when heester.¡±
¡°He¡¯sing? Is he bringing the girl for us to see?¡± Song Shijun was suddenly very excited.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered Song Shijun¡¯s expression when he had seen Annie¡¯s photograph previously. If he knew that Mo Xiaomeng was Annie, what kind of expression would he make?
Hehe, she was looking forward to this. She felt that this was going to be a good show!
It was only then that Mu Xiaoxiao became concerned with the food. She asked, ¡°What did you order just now?¡±
She held out her hand to Song Shijun, gesturing for him to give her the iPad.
Taking it, she looked through the dishes that he had selected and frowned. ¡°Did you not order fried crab with curry? That¡¯s my favorite. Also, I want to eat some dessert¡¡±
Please, Great Mistress Mu, you were the one who asked me to order whatever I wanted. How am I supposed to know what you like to eat? I¡¯m not your¡¡± Song Shijun looked at Yin Shaojie. ¡°I¡¯m not your Great Master Yin.¡±
Upon hearing these words, Yin Shaojie smiled.
Mu Xiaoxiao thumbed her nose at Song Shijun. ¡°I¡¯ll order myself then.¡±
Twenty minutester the dishes arrived and Ye Sijue walked over with someone.
Mu Xiaoxiao was about to take a piece of curry crab when she saw Mo Xiaomeng. Excited, she stood up and dashed over.
¡°Xiaomeng!¡± She hugged Mo Xiaomeng.
Mo Xiaomeng smiled happily and hugged her back. ¡°Xiaoxiao!¡±
The prawn in Song Shijun¡¯s chopsticks slid down and he stared at Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s face with his mouth agape.
¡°I-Isn¡¯t she¡¡±
Han Qiqing recognized the girl too. She looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and waited for her to introduce her.
Mu Xiaoxiao wrapped an arm around Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s shoulders and brought her closer to them. She smiled as she said, ¡°This is Annie, the person whom I asked you to look for. Her Chinese name is Mo Xiaomeng.¡±
She then told Mo Xiaomeng, ¡°They¡¯re my good friends from China. He¡¯s Song Shijun, and she¡¯s Han Qiqing.
Mo Xiaomeng smiled and nodded at them in greeting. ¡°Hello.¡±
Song Shijun fell in love with her sweet voice and smile instantly. His eyes were fixed on her as he extended his hand and said excitedly, ¡°Hello, you¡¯re even prettier in real lifepared to your picture! And your name is really cute and pretty too!¡±
However, before his hand could touch Mo Xiaomeng, a heavy-faced Ye Sijue walked over and grabbed Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s hand away. He pulled her over to sit down, and he sat down beside her.
Song Shijun¡¯s pitiful hand hung in the air a little awkwardly.
Han Qiqing was shocked. ¡°What¡¯s this situation?¡±
She seemed to have seen¡ possessiveness in Ye Sijue¡¯s eyes?

Song Shijun turned to Ye Sijue with the expression of a hurt puppy, and scolded him internally for being so cruel. He retracted his hand, embarrassed, and sat down.
¡°Qiqing¡¡± A particr person wanted to beforted.
Han Qiqing ignored him. She turned to Mu Xiaoxiao curiously and asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t she your friend? Why is she with Sijue? Didn¡¯t you say that she had juste from America? Then why is Sijue¡¡±
The only exnation could be that Mo Xiaomeng and Ye Sijue had known each other from before and that Mu Xiaoxiao was unaware of it.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked as if she didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. She was actually quite clueless about the situation.
Logically, Mo Xiaomeng and Ye Sijue shouldn¡¯t be acquainted. Mo Xiaomeng had only arrived in China for a few days, and even if she had just known Ye Sijue, Ye Sijue didn¡¯t seem like he would fall in love with a girl so quickly.
So¡
Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged to show that she didn¡¯t know either.
Song Shijun was really curious too. He turned to Ye Sijue hurriedly and asked, ¡°Sijue, how did you and Xiaoxiao¡¯s friend meet? Is she your girlfriend? Why haven¡¯t you told us that you¡¯ve got a girlfriend?¡±
Girlfriend?
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s eyes bulged. She turned around and looked at Ye Sijue to see what he would say.
Ye Sijue only lifted his lips slightly. He looked at Song Shijun and said, ¡°What do you think?¡±
His posture, with one hand on the back of Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s chair, and his strong aura of possessiveness, had already rified everything.
Song Shijun looked a little disappointed and whimpered, ¡°The prettydy that I liked turned out to have been imed by you already¡¡±
His heart had turned gray, and he felt as if he would never love again.
Song Shijun looked very pitiful as he said this and he even ced a hand on his chest in an act of pretend-sorrow.
Han Qiqing rolled her eyes at him. ¡°Stop talking and start eating!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was hungry as well and said, ¡°The dishes are here. Let¡¯s eat first and we can talk as we dine.¡±
Ye Sijue leaned down to Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s ear and asked, ¡°Can you eat these? Do you want to order something else?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng shook her head, ¡°There¡¯s no need. These are fine.¡±
It was only then that Mu Xiaoxiao recalled something and she turned to Mo Xiaomeng and said, ¡°Oh yeah, Xiaomeng, you can¡¯t handle spice, right? Most of these Thai dishes are spicy. You should order some non-spicy dishes.¡±
Before Mu Xiaoxiao could take action, Ye Sijue had already raised his hand and gestured for Yin Shaojie to pass the iPad over.
Mo Xiaomeng said, ¡°There¡¯s really no need to. There should be one or two dishes that aren¡¯t spicy here. I¡¯ll just eat something from there.¡±
Ye Sijue frowned. ¡°How is this okay? Just order whatever you want to eat.¡±
He sought out the menu from the iPad. Pushing her cutlery aside, he ced the iPad in front of her bossily.
Unable to protest, Mo Xiaomeng could only lower her head and order some dishes.
Song Shijun and Han Qiqing cast a look at each other as they ate.
Even though they were both curious as to how Ye Sijue and Mo Xiaomeng had met, they could only swallow their curiosity since the subject in question didn¡¯t want to reveal it.
Never mind, they would just continue eating then!
After waiting for Mo Xiaomeng to finish ordering her dishes, he rang the service bell and requested for the dishes to be brought out.
After the meal.
Ye Sijue called to Yin Shaojie suddenly, and the pair stood to one side and talked.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s exquisite face was awash with curiosity. She leaned close towards Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s ear and asked, ¡°What are they being so mysterious about?¡±
Chapter 635 - Knowing Mu Xiaoxiao’s Identity (2)

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mo Xiaomeng wiped her lips. She shook her head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao recalled the events of the previous night. Staring at her, she asked, ¡°Xiaomeng, wasn¡¯t he adamant that you shouldn¡¯t move out yesterday? Why did he bring you out to eat with us today then?¡±
¡°He¡¯s agreed to it now,¡± Mo Xiaomeng said. However, she didn¡¯t look very happy.
She still felt a little upset when she mentioned this. At first, she had thought that Ye Sijue might have agreed only because he wanted to pacify her, but today he helped her pack up her suitcase. Her suitcase was now in his car, and he had said that they would be going to the condominium where Mu Xiaoxiao was staying.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little shocked. ¡°He agreed? He agreed to let you move to my ce to stay? Why did he do that suddenly?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng smiled bitterly. ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on either. Yesterday¡ we talked for a bit and he agreed to let me stay at your ce suddenly.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was confused. She didn¡¯t know what Ye Sijue¡¯s behavior meant.
He had been so reluctant to let Mo Xiaomeng leave the previous night. Why had he changed his tune all of a sudden? However, he had been possessive of Mo Xiaomeng earlier. This was strange.
Meanwhile.
Yin Shaojie heard Ye Sijue¡¯s words and frowned. ¡°You want me to sell you the unit next to me? Why?¡±
Ye Sijue¡¯s eyes shed to Mo Xiaomeng and he said, ¡°I promised Xiaomeng that she could live with Xiaoxiao. Or do you wish to have¡ a gooseberry in your house?¡±
Yin Shaojie was speechless.
That was obvious! Of course he didn¡¯t want that!
Also, their condo only had a single bedroom. If Mo Xiaomeng came to live with them, it was evident that the two girls were going to take the bedroom and he could only sleep on the sofa.
If not, he could only arrange for Mo Xiaomeng to stay over at the Yin residence. However, Mu Xiaoxiao would request for the both of them to move to the Yin residence as she wouldn¡¯t be able to abandon her friend.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t want to move back to the Yin residence. How was he going to make out with Xiaoxiao when there were so many gooseberries there?
Also, there was now some preliminary progress in their rtionship.
Yin Shaojie remembered what he had done to Xiaoxiaost night and his eyes narrowed. He had nned to ¡®revise¡¯ what he did tonight so that Xiaoxiao could gradually get used to his touches.
If Mo Xiaomeng came to live with them in the condo right now, he wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything!
Yin Shaojie smiled at Ye Sijue. ¡°So you mean you want to buy the unit next to me for Mo Xiaomeng to live there?¡±
If Mo Xiaomeng stayed right beside them, Xiaoxiao would feel more at ease as well.
¡°Yeah.¡± Ye Sijue nodded his head. ¡°I n to move out for a while.¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled. He understood what he meant by that.
He patted Ye Sijue on the shoulder. ¡°Good job.¡±
Ye Sijue said, ¡°So you agree to it?¡±
¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to buy it from me. Since we¡¯re brothers, I¡¯ll lend the unit to you for a while. Anyway, you won¡¯t be staying there for long, am I right?¡± Yin Shaojie could see through his expression and was smiling suggestively.
Ye Sijue shook his head. ¡°I¡¯ll still buy it. I like to stay in my own ce. Also¡ I think that your condominium¡¯s not bad now. If I had known this earlier, I would have bought a few units from the start.¡±
The condominium that Yin Shaojie was living in had now be an icondmark. The unit prices had soared, making them a sure profit in trading.
¡°It¡¯s really pricey right now though. Are you really going to buy it? I¡¯m not going to put myself at a disadvantage,¡± Yin Shaojie said as he smiled.

¡°Of course, I will pay you an extra 50% on top of the market price. Is that enough?¡± Ye Sijue wasn¡¯t a person to take advantage of his friends. Also, he wouldn¡¯t be at a loss in the future even if he bought the unit at such a price.
¡°Sure. It¡¯s a deal!¡± Yin Shaojie was really agreeable too. Even though he didn¡¯t need the money, he viewed Ye Sijue as a brother and if a brother needed help, he would oblige him readily.
Considering his rtionship with Ye Sijue ¡ª their families had known each other for a long time, and they often coborated with each other ¡ª it wouldn¡¯t have been a problem even if he just gave the condominium away.
The two of them talked about other rted matters before walking to where the rest were.
¡°Alright, it¡¯s gettingte. Let¡¯s go.¡±
Yin Shaojie held Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand and told Song Shijun, ¡°You should return to school with Qiqing first. We still have some business to settle.¡±
Song Shijun had seen him having a private conversation with Ye Sijue earlier, and showed his displeasure. ¡°Are the both of you trying to exclude us? How can you do this to a friend!¡±
He reached out to wrap an arm around Han Qiqing¡¯s shoulders as heined.
Han Qiqing cast a sideways look at him and elbowed him off. ¡°You canin all you want, but don¡¯t represent me casually like that. Let¡¯s go, I feel like going back. I¡¯m so tired. I think I¡¯m going to sleep for a while or I won¡¯t be able to attend lessons in the afternoon.¡±
¡°Qiqing, we¡¯re supposed to be a united front.¡± Song Shijun looked at her.
¡°Who wants to have a united front with you?¡±
A group of people exited the restaurant, and they went their separate ways at the entrance.
Song Shijun drove his car over. Han Qiqing got in, and noticed that he was still staring in the direction of the rest of the four others.
¡°Curiosity killed the cat,¡± she cautioned kindly.
Even though she was curious as well, she knew her ce. Since the subject in question didn¡¯t want to tell them anything, they were the only ones who would suffer if they continued to be curious about it.
Song Shijun drummed his fingers on the dashboard. ¡°Did you notice it? Sijue seemed to have really fallen hard. When we were eating, and even when he was talking to Young Master Jie privately earlier, his gaze never left Mo Xiaomeng.¡±
Han Qiqing rolled her eyes at him. ¡°I¡¯m not blind.¡±
Ye Sijue¡¯s behavior had been so obvious. She couldn¡¯t have missed it.
Han Qiqing urged, ¡°Alright, stop looking. Hurry up and drive; I want to go back to the Student Union building for a nap.¡±
She was in a fooda now that she was full.
Song Shijun looked at the four of them. They were in pairs, and he instantly felt a little upset.
He sighed. Looking at Han Qiqing, he said suddenly, ¡°Qiqing, what do you think about getting together? We can be a pair. Or else, we¡¯ll go blind from seeing them being lovey-dovey towards each other all day.¡±
Han Qiqing paused. She looked at him with disgust and rejected him unhesitatingly, ¡°No, thank you!¡±
Song Shijun¡¯s face fell. He said sadly, ¡°Don¡¯t you want to consider at the very least? Can you not reject me so hastily? You¡¯re hurting my heart!¡±
¡°Stop joking around and drive. ¡°Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t be bothered with him. She lowered her seat andy down, closing her eyes.
Song Shijun sighed again and said, ¡°Even though I can¡¯t bepared to Young Master Jie and Sijue, I¡¯m handsome too. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s been masked by their splendor¡¡±
Han Qiqing reached out and pointed a finger at him. She didn¡¯t even open her eyes as she said, ¡°Shut up and drive!¡±
Song Shijun schooled his expression and could only start driving obediently.
¡
The four of them returned to the condominium.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked puzzled. She had really thought that Mo Xiaomeng was going to stay with her and had been thinking of their sleeping arrangements during the ride.

In the lift, she tugged at Yin Shaojie¡¯s sleeve and whispered into his ear, ¡°How about moving back to the mansion? We only have one bedroom here and it would be inconvenient for Xiaomeng to live here.¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s pretty eyebrows moved. It was just as he had expected ¡ª Xiaoxiao¡¯s solution was to move back to the Yin residence.
Upon seeing that he wasn¡¯t replying, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s expression turned gloomy. ¡°It¡¯s the only way¡ since you don¡¯t like to sleep on the sofa.¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled. He snaked an arm around her waist. If there was no one else around, he would have kissed her.
He felt blessed to have such an understanding and concerned wife!
He patted her head and moving his lips close to her ear, replied, ¡°Rx, your friend isn¡¯t going to live with us.¡±
¡°She¡¯s not? Why isn¡¯t she?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him in confusion.
¡°You¡¯ll understandter.¡±
Just then, the lift arrived. With his arm still around Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s waist, he guided her out of the lift. Behind them came, Ye Sijue holding Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s hand and her suitcase.
However, Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t return to their unit, but walked to the unit beside theirs.
¡°Our house is¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was about to speak, before she saw Yin Shaojie using his fingerprint to unlock the door.
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°It won¡¯t be in the future.¡±
What did he mean?
Yin Shaojie led her in.
The ce was clean and there was not a speck of dust to be seen. It had been cleaned regrly by a cleaner so it was ready for anyone to move in anytime.
Behind them, Ye Sijue brought Mo Xiaomeng in. He looked around the house and nodded satisfactorily.
¡°Xiaoxiao, may I trouble you to show Xiaomeng her room and unpack her suitcase?¡± said Ye Sijue.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Yin Shaojie. At his sign, she pulled Mo Xiaomeng into the bedroom.
When the two girls were out of sight, Ye Sijue and Yin Shaojie walked to the door.
Ye Sijue said, ¡°Reset the passcode, and don¡¯t leave your fingerprint there.¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled and teased, ¡°Why? Scared that I¡¯ll enter the wrong house?¡±
Ye Sijue didn¡¯t reply.
Yin Shaojie reset the passcode. Ye Sijue then registered his fingerprint, and changed some of the lock¡¯s settings.
After a few minutes, Yin Shaojie received a call and said to him, ¡°Thewyer¡¯s here.¡±
Ye Sijue looked in the direction of the bedroom and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go out to talk.¡±
It was just a matter of signing some papers and it didn¡¯t take long.
After transferring the ownership of the house and returning to the living room, the two girls were still nowhere to be seen.
Yin Shaojie walked towards the bedroom door. He leaned an arm on the door frame and said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°We should get going.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao and Mo Xiaomeng had been talking and thus had only a small portion of thetter¡¯s suitcase.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t feel like going. ¡°How about¡ skipping the afternoon¡¯s sses?¡±
It wouldn¡¯t be their first time skipping ss.
Yin Shaojie was of course in disagreement.
Even if he did agree, Ye Sijue would not have agreed to let Mu Xiaoxiao staying as a gooseberry.
He said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. You can see her after school ends since you¡¯re neighbors now.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao could only follow him obediently. She waved to Mo Xiaomeng as she said, ¡°I¡¯ll go back to school for ss then. We¡¯ll have dinner togetherter.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng nodded. ¡°Yeah! See you at night!¡±
When Mu Xiaoxiao left, she continued to unpack her suitcase.
She didn¡¯t actually have a lot of things in her suitcase so she finished unpacking quickly.

Mo Xiaomeng dusted her hands off. Looking up, she saw Ye Sijue leaning on the door frame. His blue eyes were smiling as he looked at her.
Mo Xiaomeng thought that his gaze looked a little mocking.
¡°Why are you still here? You didn¡¯t go off with them?¡±
Ye Sijue smiled, ¡°Why should I leave?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t you¡ Aren¡¯t you busy? It¡¯s okay, you don¡¯t have to keep mepany. You should get on with your business,¡± Mo Xiaomeng said considerately.
¡°I¡¯m not busy. I¡¯ll keep youpany for the entirety of today,¡± Ye Sijue said as he walked over to her.
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s ears reddened. She pouted as she thought internally, Wanting me to move here, but also subtly saying such sweet things. How am I supposed to feel about you?
Ye Sijue looked at the bed before him. Suddenly, he said, ¡°Let¡¯s go and buy some stuff.¡±
¡°What are we buying? We have everything here. There¡¯s no need to buy anything.¡±
The corners of Ye Sijue¡¯s mouth turned down. He tugged at her hand as he said, ¡°We¡¯re going to buy a bed.¡±
He didn¡¯t like to sleep in beds that had been used.
¡°Buy a bed?¡± Mo Xiaomeng was even more confused now, but she was still dragged out by him.
The shopping mall wasn¡¯t far from where they lived, and it only took ten minutes to get there.
As Ye Sijue dragged her around the mall, he said, ¡°If there is any furniture that you don¡¯t like in that house, we¡¯ll buy it here. You can browse for any furniture you like.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng said, ¡°There¡¯s no need. I¡¯m only staying there for a short period of time, and I won¡¯t be hanging around for long.¡±
Ye Sijue halted. His stared at her as he said, ¡°Even if you don¡¯t stay here for long, you should still be happy for the period you¡¯re staying. I don¡¯t like to put up with things reluctantly.¡±
How do you not liking to put up with anything reluctantly have anything to do with me?
Mo Xiaomeng looked a little gloomily at him as she was dragged to the area that sold beds.
¡°Which one do you like?¡± he asked.
The original bed in the condominium was already a good one and there was no need to buy a new one.
Mo Xiaomeng said, ¡°I really don¡¯t mind it. The house is good enough and the furniture is quite new. There¡¯s really no need to purchase anything new.¡±
Wasn¡¯t she only staying for a short period of time? There was no need to buy a new bed.
She didn¡¯t get what he was thinking.
Why hadn¡¯t he done all this when she had been staying at his house?
His actions were so unexpectedly entric.
¡°I want it,¡± Ye Sijue said.
Mo Xiaomeng was speechless. She said, ¡°I¡¯m the one sleeping on the bed, not you.¡±
Ye Sijue looked at her as he said, ¡°Who told you that you¡¯re the only one sleeping on the bed?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng was stunned. ¡°Ah?¡±
Ye Sijue smirked. ¡°It¡¯s not very safe for you to live alone since you¡¯re a girl, so I¡¯m going to move in and stay with you too.¡±
¡°What?!¡± Mo Xiaomeng eximed in surprise. She looked at him dazedly, as if she couldn¡¯t believe what he had just said.
His gaze looked earnest and irrefutable.
Mo Xiaomeng blushed. ¡°T-Then¡ you can buy your own bed. There¡¯s no need to change the bed in my room.¡±
Ye Sijue looked at her little face with interest. He said, ¡°My bed will be your bed, because¡ we¡¯re sleeping in the same room.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s eyes widened. Stammering, she said, ¡°S-Sleeping in the same room? Why? Aren¡¯t there two rooms?¡±
Ye Sijue said cheekily, ¡°Yeah. There were supposed to be two rooms, but I have another purpose for it ¡ª I¡¯m going to refurbish it into a gym, so there¡¯ll only be one bedroom left.¡±
¡°Doesn¡¯t the house belong to someone else? Why are you renovating someone else¡¯s house? Isn¡¯t that a bad move?¡± Mo Xiaomeng said hastily.

Ye Sijue smiled. ¡°Who told you it was someone else¡¯s house? It¡¯s my house.¡±
Thus, he could change whatever he wanted to change, as long as he was happy.
Mo Xiaomeng was unable to argue over him. Her entire face was flooded with red as she said, ¡°I won¡¯t stay, then.¡±
¡°Dare you?¡± Ye Sijue drawled these two words leisurely, his tone threatening.
Mo Xiaomeng was vexed. ¡°You¡¯re a rascal!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Ye Sijue smiled devilishly.
¡
Evening, at the Yu¡¯s.
Yu Zhe actually didn¡¯t want to return home. However, upon receiving an emergency call from home, he had no choice but to return home, smelling like alcohol.
Mama Yu rushed forward to greet him just as he stepped through the door. Upon smelling the scent of alcohol on him, she said worriedly, ¡°Ah Zhe, what were you doing outside?¡±
Yu Zhe shook his head weakly, ¡°Nothing much. I was just having a meal with my friends.¡±
However, those so-called ¡°friends¡± all found some excuse or the other and left when they heard that he wanted to borrow some money. In the end, he was left alone facing a table full of dishes. He ate alone, and drank a lot of alcohol.
To be rebuffed like that was a daily urrence nowadays. Yu Zhe thought that he had gotten used to it already, but apparently not ¡ª he still felt really sad and disappointed.
Fair-weather friends, fair weather friends. Sure enough, they were only his friends when things looked good.
Mama Yu asked, ¡°Do you want some food then?¡±
Yu Zhe shook his head and said, ¡°No, it¡¯s okay. I¡¯m still full from earlier. I¡¯ll go take a shower first.¡±
He dragged his feet towards his room as he said this.
Behind him, Mama Yu called out, ¡°Wait, don¡¯t shower first. I¡¯ll get a helper to make you some hangover tea. Drink some before you shower.¡±
¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Yu Zhe waved his hand.
Just then, his father walked over to him, smiling.¡±Ah Zhe, don¡¯t be in such a rush to shower. Papa¡¯s got a piece of good news for you!¡±
Yu Zhe felt a little puzzled. The atmosphere in the house had been miserable and gloomy recently because of the funding problem and no one had smiled.
¡°What¡¯s the good news?¡± He looked at his father a little hopefully. Could it be that the funding problem had been solved?¡±
Papa Yu patted his back and sighed. ¡°My son, these days have been hard on you. Papa knows that you¡¯re feeling miserable and knows that you really want to help, but now, you don¡¯t have to worry anymore.¡±
Yu Zhe jolted and his hands trembled a little. ¡°I don¡¯t have to worry¡ Has the funding¡¡±
Papa Yu smiled as he nodded. ¡°Yes. Also, thatrge project doesn¡¯t have to be suspended. It can continue.¡±
Perhaps it was the good news, or perhaps it was because he was drunk from all that alcohol, but Yu Zhe¡¯s legs turned to jelly and he fell to the ground.
¡°Ah Zhe!¡± Mama Yu called out worriedly.
Papa Yu said, ¡°Is he overjoyed?¡±
Yu Zhe was overjoyed. Lifting his head, he looked at his father and interrogated, ¡°Pa, what¡¯s going on? What happened all of a sudden?¡±
Papa Yu squatted down. Leveling his gaze with his, he exined, ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t get it either. This afternoon, I got a call from Murong Corporation. They were keen to coborate with us on this project and promised to invest arge sum of money into it.¡±
¡°Will they¡¡±
Papa Yu knew what Yu Zhe was worried about and shook his head. ¡°No, they won¡¯t. Murong Corporation¡¯s reputation is really good from what I hear, and I could feel their sincerity. They will be sending someone over to thepany to discuss the project.¡±
¡°Murong Corporation? Why are they helping us?¡±
Papa Yu had a mysterious expression on his face as he said, ¡°I¡¯ve got a piece of news that¡¯s even more shocking. My old friend tells me it¡¯s very possible that Murong Corporation¡¯s owner¡ might just be that Mu family.¡±
Yu Zhe was stunned. ¡°The Mu Family? Could it be¡¡±
Could it be the fabled Mus?!

Mama Yu looked at their postures and shook her head. ¡°Get up, don¡¯t sit on the floor. Ah Zhe, you can take a shower first and we can continue during dinner.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not showering yet.¡± Yu Zhe didn¡¯t feel like showering anymore. He had always been very curious about the mysterious Mus.
There wasn¡¯t anyone who wasn¡¯t curious at the mention of ¡°the fabled Mus¡±.
However, there was too little information on the Mu Family, and no one could dig up any information about them.
Yu Zhe stood up and dusted his shorts off.
Papa Yu stood up as well. Patting his back, he smiled as he said, ¡°Let¡¯s have some food then. Papa¡¯ll tell you as we eat.¡±
Thus, the family of three moved to the dining table.
Mama Yu scooped some soup for the father and son.
Yu Zhe was very impatient and interrogated his father, ¡°Pa, hurry up and tell me! Why did he say that the owner of Murong Corporation is the Mu Family? Is his information reliable?¡±
A curious Mama Yu asked as she scooped some soup for her husband, ¡°Is the Mu Family you¡¯re talking about really powerful?¡±
Papa Yu shook his head and sighed deeply. ¡°They¡¯re more than powerful! It could be said that no one knows how powerful the Mus really are.¡±
¡°Pa, you haven¡¯t answered my question!¡± Yu Zhe looked at his father very eagerly.
Papa Yu smiled as he said, ¡°Alright, alright, don¡¯t be so impatient. Let Papa gather his thoughts. I think this insider information is extremely reliable, because this old friend of mine has numerous dealings with the Big Four Families. Also, since the Murong Corporation has always been very mysterious, this prediction has been made since a long time ago.¡±
Murong Corporation was the strongestpany in the trading world apart from the Big Four Families. However, they were very discreet in their dealings, and never attended any tradingworking exchanges.
What was even more curious was that there wasn¡¯t any powerful Murong lineage in City A. Thus, everyone guessed that the Murongs may be a wealthy family from another area.
After scooping the soup, Mama Yu sat down and asked, ¡°Why are they helping us then?¡±
This was something that also stumped Papa Yu. He shook his head as he said, ¡°I don¡¯t know either.¡±
Even though this project of theirs wasrge, such a project was insignificant to arge-scale multinationalpany such as the Murong Corporation.
Yu Zhe picked up his chopsticks and yed with the food in his soup. His gaze was heavy and he was deep in thought.
The fabled Mus.
Even though he had only heard his father mention them once or twice in the past, he had a strong impression that the Mu¡¯s power and influence were not below that of the Big Four Families. However, they were very discreet and hid themselves well. If not, there may very well be a ¡°Big Five Families¡± instead.
No one knew how powerful the Mus were, for the only people who could interact with the Mus were the elite of the elite and this made the Mus existence even more mysterious.
Mama Yu thought that Papa Yu might have known someone from the Mus, but was unaware about it.
However, Papa Yu turned to Yu Zhe and asked, ¡°Ah Zhe, do you know anyone from your school with the surname ¡®Mu¡¯?¡±
Someone with the surname ¡°Mu¡±? Yu Zhe jolted. ¡°W-Why do you ask?¡±
Papa Yu exined, ¡°Because my old friend told me that the Young Mistress from the Mus seemed to have returned to China, and that she was the close childhood friend of Yin Shaojie, Han Qiqing and the rest of them. I¡¯m guessing that she might have gone to your school, and that you might actually know her.¡±
Someone who was close to Yin Shaojie, Han Qiqing, and was their childhood friend¡
A discreet person¡
With the surname ¡°Mu¡±¡
Yu Zhe¡¯s chopsticks fell down with a tter. His heart trembled and his pupils widened abruptly.
Mu Xiaoxiao!

Mama Yu and Papa Yu were startled as they stared at Yu Zhe.
Surprised, Mama Yu asked, ¡°Ah Zhe, why are you crying¡¡±
Yu Zhe covered his face with both hands as tears streamed, his voice mournful as he sobbed and said, ¡°Pa, Ma, you don¡¯t know what a stupid thing I have done!¡±
He cried like a child who had lost his whole world.
¡
The expensive sports car drove into the underground parking lot.
In the car.
¡°What? Sijue wants to live with Xiaomeng? How can that be eptable!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was almost going to jump up upon hearing the news.
But the car hadn¡¯t stopped yet, otherwise she would have already rushed upstairs to find Ye Sijue to deal with him.
Yin Shaojie calmed her down as he stopped the car, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t get so agitated. Calm down.¡±
However, when the car stopped Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedly opened the door and went to the elevator of the condominium.
Yin Shaojie frowned. ¡°Wait!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was too angry, and she turned back and yelled at him. ¡°You already knew that since the afternoon? Why didn¡¯t you tell me? But you¡¯re only telling me now! You¡¯re really¡ taking the side of the evildoer!¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s tall figure quickly got out of the car, and with his long legs, he quickly caught up to her and grabbed her wrist.
¡°If I told you, then you wouldn¡¯t have gone to ss in the afternoon. Anyways, it¡¯s the same as telling you now.¡±
¡°How is it the same! If you told me earlier, I wouldn¡¯t have let Xiaomeng stay there! Sijue, this jerk is too much. He had only known Xiaomeng for how long? And yet he intends to stay together with her.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao twisted his hand, wanting to break free of him, but Yin Shaojie¡¯s hand was like a pair of iron pincers, grabbing her rigidly.
Dissatisfied, she red at him, ¡°Yin Shaojie, let go! Don¡¯t you know you¡¯re hurting me, you bastard!¡±
The more she thought the more angry she became, and she even tried to kick him.
Yin Shaojie dodged her kick nimbly, released her hand, but he stretched out and wrapped his arm over her shoulders.
¡°Can we talk nicely? You know how Sijue is. He won¡¯t bully your friend.¡±
¡°Of course you would say that. You¡¯re jackals of the same tribe! What do you mean he won¡¯t bully her? He deliberately set it up so that they would be staying together, and you don¡¯t call that bullying? Do you have to wait until he eats up Xiaomeng?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao struggled to keep his hands away as she didn¡¯t want him touching her.
Yin Shaojie smiled, as he took her into the elevator. ¡°That probably won¡¯t happen. Sijue knows how to behave with decorum. He would at least cultivate their feelings for each other and wait till the time is right, right?¡±
It was in order to cultivate their feelings that they had to stay together. This was the fastest way to catalyze their chemistry.
Thus, Yin Shaojie could understand why Ye Sijue would do it this way.
When the two entered the elevator Mu Xiaoxiao stop struggling. But she still red at him unhappily, ¡°What if Xiaomeng isn¡¯t willing? Xiaomeng doesn¡¯t even know that Sijue intends to stay there too, right? If she knew, she wouldn¡¯t have stayed.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly regretted bringing Mo Xiaomeng to the condominium in the afternoon. It was because Mu Xiaoxiao was there that Mo Xiaomeng would trust herpletely and so she agreed to stay there.
This made Mu Xiaoxiao feel guilty as if she had sent her good friend to be eaten by wolves.
Yin Shaojie smiled, his jet-ck eyes looking amused as he stared at her and said, ¡°How do you know that she doesn¡¯t want to? If she really doesn¡¯t want to stay with Sijue, she can totally bring it up and say that she refuses to stay there. With you around, I don¡¯t think anyone could force her.¡±

¡°But¡ Sijue is such a tyrant. When we went to his house that day, wasn¡¯t he forbidding Xiaomeng to go just like a tyrant?¡± The more Mu Xiaoxiao thought, the odder it seemed to be. ¡°How did Sijuee to fancy Xiaomeng? Haven¡¯t they only met for a few days? This is just too strange!¡±
Yin Shaojie disagreed. ¡°What¡¯s so strange about that? As long as he likes her, it doesn¡¯t matter how long it took.¡±
In this world, there was the type of love that developed over time and the type of love that bloomed at first sight. There was nothing strange about these things.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°Don¡¯t you notice? Sijue seems to have changed. He seems to be different from before.¡±
¡°That¡¯s just because you don¡¯t understand him. After all, you don¡¯t spend a lot of time with him, and you haven¡¯t seen every side of him, that¡¯s why you would feel this way,¡± Yin Shaojie analyzed it for her rationally.
Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged her shoulders, ¡°Maybe¡¡±
Seeing that the elevator was arriving soon, Yin Shaojie said to her, ¡°Alright, that is their business. Stop thinking about it and let their rtionship go down its natural course.¡±
Though Mu Xiaoxiao had also thought that Ye Sijue was a friend that she knew well, if he was really trying to get together with Mo Xiaomeng, it wouldn¡¯t seem like much of a problem.
Only that¡
The elevator stopped.
Mu Xiaoxiao pulled off Yin Shaojie¡¯s hand and walked to the apartment.
She pressed the doorbell.
¡°They should be here, right?¡±
It was getting dark already, and she and Yin Shaojie hade back after having dinner.
Mu Xiaoxiao red at Yin Shaojie again and snorted. ¡°No wonder you didn¡¯t let me eat dinner with Xiaomeng. So you wanted to give them alone time.¡±
Originally, she had wanted toe back and have dinner with Mo Xiaomeng after school, but Yin Shaojie said that Mo Xiaomeng should have already eaten with Ye Sijue, so they only came back after he took her to dinner.
The more Mu Xiaoxiao thought, the more it seemed to her that Yin Shaojie and Ye Sijue were jackals of the same tribe!
Yin Shaojie stood at one side, smiling quite helplessly.
¡°They just moved in and needed time to sort things out. Plus, Sijue needs to talk to your friend about the situation, right? We have to give them some space.¡±
¡°No, I have to ask Xiaomeng if she really wants it,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was very persistent about this.
After all, Mo Xiaomeng was her good friend, and she came to China to visit her. Naturally, she had to be responsible for Mo Xiaomeng.
Then, the door opened.
Mu Xiaoxiao was just about to enter when she saw the way Ye Sijue looked, and suddenly her eyes widened, and she pointed at him.
¡°You¡ª¡ª¡±
Ye Sijue was actually wearing a bathrobe!
What was the meaning of this?
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him with a burning gaze and shouted at him, ¡°Ye Sijue! What have you done to Xiaomeng? If you dare to force Xiaomeng into anything, even if you are my friend, I won¡¯t¡¡±
Before she could finish her sentence, Mo Xiaomeng came out from inside. Upon seeing Mu Xiaoxiao, Mo Xiaomeng skipped cheerfully to her, ¡°Xiaoxiao! What brings you here? Did school endte?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao rushed to Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s side, grabbed her shoulder, and looked up and down at her worriedly, saying, ¡°Xiaomeng, are you okay? Did he do anything to you¡¡±
¡°What? Who did what to me?¡± Mo Xiaomeng blinking her eyes with a puzzled look on her face.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused, and then she noticed that Mo Xiaomeng was still wearing the same attire from this morning.
She looked at Ye Sijue, annoyed, and said, ¡°Why do you shower at this time!¡±
If he didn¡¯t, then she wouldn¡¯t have misunderstood!

It gave her the false impression that he might have said those embarrassing things to Mo Xiaomeng before taking a shower.
But seeing Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s look of innocence, it didn¡¯t seem like they had done that kind of thing, so it probably didn¡¯t happen.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a burden lifted from her heart.
Ye Sijue curled his lips, red at Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°Do I need to report to you whenever I take a shower?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng didn¡¯t want them to quarrel, so she exined to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°We were doing some things in the room. He worked up a sweat while he was at it, so he took a shower after that. Nothing else happened.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao asked, ¡°You were doing some things in the room? What were you doing?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng looked embarrassed, ¡°Um, well¡¡±
Seeing her like this, Mu Xiaoxiao felt that it was fishy. ¡°What exactly were you doing? Something you can¡¯t talk about?¡±
¡°No¡¡± Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s face became slightly red, and she said timidly, ¡°We were¡ moving the bed. Don¡¯t get the wrong idea! It¡¯s a new bed.¡±
¡°A new bed? Isn¡¯t there a bed in the room? Why do you need to buy a new one?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled.
¡°Um, this¡¡± Mo Xiaomeng didn¡¯t know how to exin it. She couldn¡¯t just repeat what Ye Sijue said, could she?
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of something, and her eyes widened. ¡°Could it be¡¡±
She noticed Yin Shaojie and Ye Sijue to the side and didn¡¯t finish her sentence, but she took Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s hand as they went into the apartment.
When they entered the room, sure enough, they saw a king-size bed.
With such a big bed, anyone could guess that it couldn¡¯t be for Mo Xiaomeng to sleep on alone.
Just as she had guessed.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face darkened as she asked Mo Xiaomeng, ¡°Did Ye Sijue tell you that he is going to stay with you?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng nervously brushed back the hair from her temples, and nodded. ¡°Yeah, he told me¡¡±
¡°And you agreed to it?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao questioned further.
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s little face blushed a little, and she quickly said, ¡°Of course not! But he¡¡±
¡°Alright, since you didn¡¯t agree to it,e. Pack your stuff and stay at my ce!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said as she took her hand and went to the wardrobe.
But Mo Xiaomeng halted and said, ¡°No need. I don¡¯t want to be a bother to you and your boyfriend.¡±
¡°You won¡¯t be a bother.¡±
¡°I know there is only one room at your ce. Actually, I don¡¯t mind it. It¡¯s pretty good living next door to you. We can be neighbors!¡± Mo Xiaomeng even looked happy as she said it.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned back to see her smiling face, and she reached out her hand and pushed her forehead. ¡°You dummy! You won¡¯t even know when he eats you up.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng seemed slightly bashful as she said, ¡°He won¡¯t¡¡±
How would Mu Xiaoxiao not understand her?
Just as Yin Shaojie said, if Mo Xiaomeng wasn¡¯t willing, then she definitely wouldn¡¯t stay.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at her, and asked, ¡°Xiaomeng, do you like Ye Sijue?¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Mo Xiaomeng didn¡¯t expect her to suddenly ask this, and it startled her, her face turning red.
Then she stuttered, ¡°I-I don¡¯t know¡¡±
She had only known Ye Sijue for a short time. Based on this, she probably wouldn¡¯t fall for him so quickly.
However¡ she felt quite happy with him. There was a feeling that she couldn¡¯t quite articte. It was something she had never experienced before.
Could she really have fallen for him?
She had never fallen for anyone before, so she couldn¡¯t know!

Hearing her answer, Mu Xiaoxiao somehow recalled the time when Han Qiqing asked her the same question. Did she have the same expression as then?
¡°You should be careful then. I should remind you that men are all hungry wolves. You need to be careful around him. Don¡¯t let him eat you up, do you understand?¡±
If Mo Xiaomeng was really¡
Mu Xiaoxiao thought about William. If William found out about it, he would definitely fly over immediately to kill Ye Sijue and shred him into pieces!
Her words reminded Mo Xiaomeng of the intimate affair she had with Ye Sijue, and her face flushed red.
Mo Xiaomeng nodded, ¡°Okay, I got it.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao said strictly to her, ¡°You must not tell your brother about this matter, okay?¡±
¡°Of course, I¡¯m not stupid,¡± Mo Xiaomeng stuck out her tongue cutely.
She suddenly remembered something. ¡°Oh yeah, Xiaoxiao! I have something I need your help with. It¡¯s this thing.¡±
¡°This thing? What thing?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked. Now that Mo Xiaomeng had be her responsibility, no matter what problems Mo Xiaomeng faced, she would try her best to help.
¡°That is¡¡± Mo Xiaomeng looked worried. ¡°Brother asked me where I¡¯m staying now. I don¡¯t know what to tell him.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. ¡°This is indeed a problem¡ Why don¡¯t you lie to him and say that you are staying at a hotel.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng quickly shook her head. ¡°No, my brother is good at this. He¡¯ll find out. If he finds out that I lied to him about staying at a hotel I¡¯m doomed. Xiaoxiao, you gotta help me.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was troubled as well. ¡°How can I help you? I can¡¯t say that you¡¯re staying with me, right?¡±
¡°Yes!¡± Mo Xiaomeng nodded. ¡°You can tell him that you have found me, and that I¡¯m staying at your ce.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Now it was her turn to be worried.
¡°But I don¡¯t want to lie to William!¡±
She didn¡¯t want to lie to her good friend. Moreover, once this lie was exposed, how would she face William in the future?
Mo Xiaomeng shook her hand. ¡°What should we do then?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed. ¡°Let me go back and think about it.¡±
With that said, she took another look at therge bed in front of her, gripped Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s hand tightly and advised her, ¡°Did he buy this bed because he wants to share this room with you? I¡¯m telling you, you can¡¯t let him get his way, okay?¡±
When they stayed at the same house, their rtionship had progressed very quickly. If they were to sleep in the same bed¡
Thinking about Yin Shaojie and her, Mu Xiaoxiao sighed as she shook her head.
Their rtionship progress had made leaps and bounds!
Mo Xiaomeng nodded her head, embarrassed. ¡°Okay¡¡±
Then, Ye Sijue¡¯s slender figure appeared by the door, and he knocked on the door, saying, ¡°Are you girls done talking?¡±
As he said, his gaze turned toward where Mu Xiaoxiao was sitting at.
He frowned and said, ¡°Don¡¯t sit on the bed.¡±
He didn¡¯t like others sitting on his bed.
Mu Xiaoxiao sneered at him, ¡°This is Xiaomeng¡¯s bed. Why can¡¯t I sit? I¡¯m even going to roll around on it!¡±
With that said, sheid back down and really rolled herself around.
To the left I roll. To the right I roll.
Ye Sijue drew back the corner of his mouth, baring his teeth, but he said nothing.
Then he waved at Mo Xiaomeng and signaled her toe over.
After hanging around him for the past few days, Mo Xiaomeng couldpletely read his gestures. Before she even thought about it, she instinctively went up to him.
¡°What is it?¡± she asked.
Chapter 645 - Men Are All Hungry Wolves (5)
Chapter 645: Men Are All Hungry Wolves (5)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Ye Sijue put one hand on her shoulder, his face went up close to hers, and he said softly, ¡°You should tell Xiaoxiao to let her go back to her ce for now. Yin Shaojie is already waiting impatiently, but it won¡¯t be convenient for him to say it, don¡¯t you think so?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng thought it made sense and said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll tell her.¡±
Ye Sijue gave a faint smile as he touched the back of her neck. His pretty blue eyes seemed as though it was praising her for being a good girl.
Mo Xiaomeng pushed his hand as she didn¡¯t dare to continue looking into his eyes.
¡°Go outside then.¡±
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wait for you outside.¡±
A few minutester, Mu Xiaoxiao finally came out reluctantly, holding Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s hand. Only after giving countless pieces of advice did she decide to leave.
When Mu Xiaoxiao left, Ye Sijue walked into the room.
Mo Xiaomeng was curious what he was going to do, so she followed behind him.
Then¡
She saw Ye Sijue took out a new set of bedsheet from wardrobe and started changing the bedsheet.
Mo Xiaomeng was rooted to the spot, looking quite awkward.
If Mu Xiaoxiao were to see this¡ would she flip out?
Was Ye Sijue treating Xiaoxiao like a virus? She had only rolled around on the bed, and yet, he actually felt the need to change the bedsheet.
Mo Xiaomeng said awkwardly, ¡°You don¡¯t have to change it, right¡¡±
Ye Sijue was very quick to change out the bedsheet. When he was done, he said to her, ¡°I don¡¯t like the smell of other people on my bed.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng was startled. What about herself?
Ye Sijue sat on the bed with his long legs crossed, his charming eyes staring at her, and he suddenly hooked his finger, beckoning to her. ¡°Come here.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng was speechless.
Could she not go over?
From the way he looked, his body was emanating potent pheromones that seemed to bewitch her.
Mo Xiaomeng felt some danger. How could she dare to go over?
One room, one man, one bed¡
No!
This was too dangerous!
Mo Xiaomeng quickly turned around to leave, excusing herself, ¡°I have to go take a shower!¡±
However, before she could get out of the room, a force from behind pulled her back..
¡°Hey, you¡¡±
The next second, she was pinned onto the bed.
Ye Sijue stared at her. Contrasted against the dark blue bedsheet that he had just changed, the color of her skin looked as fair as snow.
His handsome face lowered slowly, and the warm breaths brushed past her cheeks.
The sinister, maic voice had a deadly, manly charm that could easily steal a girl¡¯s heartbeat.
He said in a deep voice, ¡°Let¡¯s try this bed and see if it¡¯s good for sleeping.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng blushed as she looked at him, her gaze shifting away furtively, and she said feebly, ¡°Didn¡¯t you¡ try it when you bought it?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not the same,¡± Ye Sijue gave a faintugh.
Mo Xiaomeng swallowed her saliva, ¡°H-how is it different?¡±
¡°That was just testing the springiness with our hands. Of course, you have to lie on the bed in order to try it out. What do you think? Is itfortable lying down?¡±
How could Mo Xiaomeng feel if she wasfortable?
All her attention had been riveted on this man before her.
His charming voice, and his manly scent¡ had been stirring her inside that she could hardly think about other things.
¡°It¡¯s veryfortable,¡± she said quickly.
Now that she said it, she could get up, right?
However¡
Ye Sijue said, ¡°It¡¯s thatfortable? Then I will try it too.¡±
After saying that, hey beside her.
Just as Mo Xiaomeng was about to get up, his arm hooked her waist and pulled her back.

The pairy down facing each other. Their faces were close and their breaths intermingled.
¡°It is indeedfortable,¡± Ye Sijue¡¯s devilish voice remarked as he leaned his handsome face closer.
Mo Xiaomeng thought he was about to kiss her, and her heart beat faster.
She pressed her palms against his chest. ¡°Don¡¯t¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t what? I wasn¡¯t about to do anything.¡±
Ye Sijueughed and his chest shook.
Mo Xiaomeng felt the vibrations traveling from the palm of her hands to her heart.
Now that they were the only ones in the room, a single boy and a lone girl, and the atmosphere seemed really suggestive.
Mo Xiaomeng felt as if something might happen and remembered Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s warning earlier. Gathering up her courage, she pushed him away forcefully and got up.
¡°I think I¡¯d better sleep on the sofa instead!¡±
Ye Sijue got up immediately and looked at her. ¡°Why are you going to sleep on the sofa? Didn¡¯t you say that the bed was veryfortable?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng tugged at the hair at her temples. She stared at him bashfully and said, ¡°You can take the sofa then! Anyway¡ I can¡¯t sleep with you.¡±
¡°Did Xiaoxiao say that?¡± Ye Sijue¡¯s gaze was discerning.
Mo Xiaomeng denied this, of course. ¡°No, of course not! It¡¯s just that I don¡¯t¡ Don¡¯t you think that¡ this is too weird?¡±
¡°Weird? It¡¯s not our first time sleeping together anyway.¡± Ye Sijue sounded nonchnt, as though he was behaving righteously.
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s ears turned red. ¡°That was an ident! W-We¡¯ve only known each other for a few days¡ Sleeping together seems really weird.¡±
Ye Sijue looked at her little face and stood up. ¡°Alright.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng thought that he was going to argue on, and had not expected him to give in. She looked at him, stunned.
¡°You can sleep in the room and I¡¯ll take the sofa then,¡± Ye Sijue said as he walked out.
Mo Xiaomeng looked at his handsome figure as he walked out, and only regained her senses after a while.
Was¡ he really that easy to persuade?
Mo Xiaomeng was naturally in doubtful disbelief.
She wasn¡¯t stupid. She thought of how he had agreed for her to move over here but still had something up his sleeve afterwards.
So, what was he scheming this time around?
¡
In the adjacent unit.
Mu Xiaoxiao had taken a shower first. She now sat cross-legged on the sofa thinking. Her eyes were dazed and she looked a little out of it.
Yin Shaojie had juste out of the shower. Walking over to her, he found that she had even forgotten to blink.
How out of it was she?
He took a look at the time. It was almost ten o¡¯clock.
It was still a little early to sleep but it wasn¡¯t impossible.
Yin Shaojie sat beside her. He reached out a long arm and pulled her close so that she was leaning on his body.
He kissed her forehead gently and murmured in a low voice, ¡°Xiaoxiao, we should head to sleep now.¡±
He could also revise what they had done the previous night before sleeping and it would be just the right time to do so.
Mu Xiaoxiao was still worrying over how to exin things to William, and thus didn¡¯t react to the suggestiveness and hinting in his voice.
¡°Yeah, I¡¯ll sleep in a bit.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s sleep now,¡± Yin Shaojie said as he kissed her ear, and sucked at her earlobe, toying with it using his tongue.
Mu Xiaoxiao shivered sensitively. It was impossible to be unaware of what he meant now.
¡°Oi! I¡¯m thinking about something! What are you trying to do?¡± Because of his teasing, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ears were now red.
¡°Didn¡¯t I say this already? We¡¯re going to sleep and¡ revising what we didst night. What do you think?¡±
What did they dost night?
Mu Xiaoxiaos mind was suddenly flooded with the fiery passion of the previous night, and the hickeys he nted on her chest¡

¡°How about no!¡± She rejected, her face red as she red at him. ¡°Can¡¯t you have healthier thoughts? Your brain¡¯s full of those¡ dirty things!¡±
¡°That¡¯s not right. How is this unhealthy?¡± Yin Shaojie looked at her with a serious expression as he said.
¡°How is this healthy!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao gave him a shove and retorted.
Yin Shaojie chuckled and looked as if he was giving her an educational lecture as he said, ¡°We¡¯re engaged, right? Everything¡¯s legitimate and proper, isn¡¯t it? Isn¡¯t it healthy for husband and wife to do intimate things? Xiaoxiao, I¡¯ve only just realized that your thinking is¡ quite conservative.¡±
His pair of dark eyes seemed to tease her as he continued, ¡°You¡¯ve been in America for four years. Haven¡¯t you been culturally edified over there?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless and was momentarily at a loss for words.
Yin Shaojie tugged at her hand. His handsome face looked serious as he exined the pop-science of his behavior to her. ¡°Also, this behavior is healthy from the perspective of science. It can relieve stress, rx your body and mind, help one attain a high state of pleasure, and can even improve intimacy between husband and wife. Most importantly, if no one did this, how would we be able to reproduce and ensure that there are generations toe? Thus, doing intimate things like that can¡¯t bebelled as ¡®unhealthy¡¯, got it?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
His words made too much sense, and they were impossible to refute.
It was a while before Mu Xiaoxiao regained her voice. She stammered, ¡°B-But then you can¡¯t do it so¡ often, too!¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at her and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t that your fault?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned, and her eyes widened in surprise. ¡°My fault? How is this my fault? I¡¯m not the one letting you do this!¡±
Please, the person who was horny was so obviously him. How could he turn it around and me her?
Could he be more of a rascal than that?
Yin Shaojie held up her hand and kissed it. He then licked his hot and wet tongue across her palm and towards her fingers.
¡°You¡¡± A sensitive Mu Xiaoxiao retracted her hand and looked at his gorgeous face as her eyes misted over.
Couldn¡¯t they just have a proper conversation? Why was he acting like this again?
Yin Shaojie lifted his gaze to meet hers. ¡°Didn¡¯t you promise me before that you were going to get used to my touch gradually? If you don¡¯t give me any chance to touch you, how are you going to get used to it? I think doing some intimate things every day, and gradually increasing the level of intimacy would be the best method. In this way, you¡¯ll be able to get used to it really fast.¡±
However, her body was unnaturally sensitive. To a man, such sensitivity was a deadly turn on.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She was, once again, unable to rebut him.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that she couldn¡¯t win in a battle of wits against him.
This guy had reason after reason he could spew out. She could only be led by her nose.
With her hand still in his, Yin Shaojie pulled her closer gently as he said these.
Their distance narrowed.
¡°How about it? Have you thought of how to rebut me?¡± He chuckled lightly and there was a devilish look in his eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao simply said, ¡°I¡¯m not going to argue anymore! I can¡¯t win against you anyway!¡±
She turned around and leaned back onto his muscr chest.
However, he was really right. They were already engaged, and they were getting married in the future and thus she should get used to it.
Yin Shaojie was relishing the fact that she had thrown herself against him. He circled his arms around her waist so that she could settle into a morefortable posture.
Entwined in each other¡¯s embrace, they gazed out of the window and enjoyed this sweet moment together.

It was a dimly lit night and the moon had just risen, casting a soft silver glow.
Faced with such a beautiful sight, Mu Xiaoxiao felt that she should throw away her worries temporarily and think about them the next day!
She turned her head a little and looked at Yin Shaojie with her peripheral vision. ¡°You were so bad today, pretending that you didn¡¯t see An Zhixin when you came to my ss. I think she¡¯s probably feeling very upset,¡± she said.
However, when she recalled how stunned An Zhixin had looked, she felt quite amused.
¡°Why? Are you concerned about whether she¡¯s upset?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s brows cocked, pleased, and his tone sounded a little dandiacal now.
Mu Xiaoxiao hugged his arm. ¡°Why should I care about her? I¡¯m talking about you.¡±
¡°What about me?¡± Yin Shaojie perched his head atop her shoulders and pressed his face against hers.
Feeling her smooth skin, he lingered there and rubbed his face against it.
It felt reallyfortable doing this, and he didn¡¯t feel like letting her go.
So this was how it felt like to have supple skin and a delightful fragrance.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed and said, ¡°I¡¯m saying that you were really brutal!¡±
¡°You¡¯re calling me brutal just because of this?¡± His tone was voiced his objection.
¡°Anyway, shouldn¡¯t you be secretly gleeful over the fact that I¡¯m cruel to other girls? Are you trying to chide me for hurting the hearts of these girls now?¡±
¡°That¡¯s not what I meant!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head as she said.
¡°I¡¯m just curious ¡ª weren¡¯t you so concerned about her back then? You even remembered her for seven years after a single chance encounter, recognized her in one nce and even helped her out so much. Why did you change?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao got up from his embrace suddenly and turned around to look at him. ¡°Will you treat me like that if you don¡¯t like me anymore?¡±
Upon hearing these words of hers, Yin Shaojie frowned and thought seriously.
After thinking about it for a while, he rubbed his chin and nodded. ¡°Maybe.¡±
¡°What did you say?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s voice rose and she red at him huffily. ¡°Say that again!¡±
Yin Shaojie smirked as his dark eyes stirred with emotion. He said, ¡°Your premise was me not liking you anymore. Think about it: was there ever a point when I didn¡¯t like you from the moment you were born?¡±
He had been one when she was born.
Even though he couldn¡¯t remember what had happened then, their elders had said that he was able to walk on his own then, and when none of the adults were looking, he would wobble over to the baby cot and stare at her without blinking, evenughing to himself happily, and refused to be carried away by the adults.
Thus, the elders had always teased that he had chosen her as his bride from the time she had been born ever since he was a little kid.
Even though this was all said by the elders jokingly, it seemed quite true now that he thought about it.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao looked into his deep gaze. Her heart seemed to be trembling slightly, as though something was expanding inside, and it felt warm.
¡°You¡¯re really¡¡±
This dude was way too good at saying sweet nothings!
Mu Xiaoxiao lept forward and hugged his neck. She said bossily, ¡°These are your words, okay? That you didn¡¯t dislike me from the time I was born and won¡¯t dislike me from now on ¡ª not even for one second!¡±
Yin Shaojie hugged her neck back with hisrge hands. His thin lips moist with tenderness, he said in a low voice, ¡°Yes.¡±
Actually, this was something that was out of his control.
Liking her seemed like a matter of course.
To continue to like her seemed like a matter of course as well.
Even if he wanted to change it, it wouldn¡¯t change.
Chapter 649 - Could It Be His Ex-Girlfriend? (3)

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
And of course, he didn¡¯t want it to change.
The girl in his arms had long been raised to the apex of his heart.
As the days passed into years, his feelings only grew and they never faded.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyelids lowered and he kissed her fair neck. ¡°I should be the one who¡¯s worried,¡± he said.
He was the insecure one then, okay?
From when he was young till now, he had always been good to her amodated to and indulged in her every need.
However, she hadn¡¯t contacted him frequently voluntarily when she had gone to America for four years. It made him wonder if she had had so much fun there that she had forgotten about him, her childhood friend.
¡°What¡¯re you worried about?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao lifted his head and blinked at him.
Yin Shaojie reached out and pinched her nose. ¡°What else can I be worried about? I¡¯m worried that you¡¯ll see a handsome guy that¡¯s more capable than me and run away with him.¡±
He had already figured out her personality when she arrived back in China.
She would befriend people like Lu Yichen, who was not only a top student, but also handsome, voluntarily.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him for a while. Suddenly, she burst out inughter and even pped the sofa exaggeratedly.
¡°Yin Shaojie, so you do have moments when you¡¯re insecure?¡± Haven¡¯t you always been narcissistic and thought of yourself as the best? Haha, to think that you¡¯d say something like this!¡±
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes and stared at her. ¡°You dare to continueughing?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao noticed the threat in his expression and schooled herself. She coughed and rubbed her chin, thinking for a while before saying, ¡°About this¡ I don¡¯t know either. I¡¯ll only know the answer if it happens for real.¡±
¡°Are you for real?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze darkened.
Mu Xiaoxiao giggled, ¡°Of course I¡¯m not for real!¡±
She hugged his arm, trying to please him. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. Can you cook some noodles for me? I¡¯m hungry.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s call for delivery.¡± Yin Shaojie was not interested in cooking.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. ¡°No, I don¡¯t feel like eating delivery, and it takes so long to arrive. Cook something for me; anything will do. Pasta? Or¡ instant noodles are fine as well!¡±
¡°Instant noodles? That¡¯s too unhealthy. I¡¯ll cook some noodles for you.¡± Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t know what else to do about her.
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled. Internally, she did a victory sign.
She was sessful in changing the topic!
¡°Actually, instant noodles are pretty delicious too. I haven¡¯t eaten instant noodles in a while already.¡±
¡°Pasta is also delicious. I¡¯ll go and see what ingredients we have in the fridge.¡± Yin Shaojie rose and walked over to the kitchen.
A cross-legged Mu Xiaoxiao scratched her shin. She sat there obediently looking at him.
Yin Shaojie was studying the ingredients they had left. He remarked, ¡°We don¡¯t have pasta anymore; there¡¯s only normal noodles.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll take normal noodles then!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said.
She waited for Yin Shaojie to cook the noodles.
The gears in Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s head turned. She was about to pick up her phone and surf Weibo but her gaze happened tond on Yin Shaojie¡¯s phone on the coffee table.
She snuck a peek at the kitchen. Yin Shaojie¡¯s back was towards her.
She turned around and picked up the phone on the coffee table.
However, it was locked by a password.
Mu Xiaoxiao cocked her head and thought. What could his password be?
Her eyes lit up. Could it be her birthday?
She typed in her birthday.
It was wrong.
She thought for a while and typed in her lunar birthday.

It wasn¡¯t right either.
Could it be his birthday?
However, she felt like Yin Shaojie was smart enough not to use his own birthday as a passcode.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao still tried it. As expected, it was wrong.
Her face fell. If these weren¡¯t the passcodes, she didn¡¯t know what else it could be.
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t have used his parent¡¯s birthday as a passcode, right?
She felt that his password wouldn¡¯t be easy to guess with that personality of his.
Just then, the phone chirped with a notification, causing Mu Xiaoxiao to jump in fright.
Yin Shaojie noticed it and looked over. Hastily, she hid the phone and took up her own phone, pretending that it was her phone which had made the noise.
She only took out the phone again after Yin Shaojie turned back around.
It was a message.
Even though the phone was still locked, the screen showed the contents of the message.
¡ª¡ª The ne has been dyed. Are youing to fetch me? I¡¯ll wait for you.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused. Subconsciously, she looked at who the sender was, but discovered that it was an unsaved number.
Could it be a wrong number?
However, she felt that things couldn¡¯t be so coincidental. How could someone send a message to the wrong number?
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little bothered by the message and really wanted to unlock his phone and read it. If there were other messages apart from this message, it would mean that it wasn¡¯t a wrong number, but that Yin Shaojie had not saved it.
It would be a huge red g if he hadn¡¯t saved the number!
ording to her women¡¯s intuition, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s first instinct was that it was a female sender as she read the contents of the message repeatedly.
They needed someone to fetch them from the airport? Of course they must be a girl!
Could they be¡ one of Yin Shaojie¡¯s ex-girlfriends?
He was such a big flirt that this was a very real possibility.
However, why didn¡¯t he save the number?
Could it be that Yin Shaojie had deleted her number after breaking up with her?
The more Mu Xiaoxiao thought about it, the more she felt that it must be one of his exes, and her heart welled up with jealousy.
Why were they still in contact even though they had already broken up?
It seemed as though their rtionship had been really good when they had been dating!
The jealousy in her heart boiled over and Mu Xiaoxiao really wanted to smash his phone.
On purpose, she looked towards Yin Shaojie and shouted, ¡°Yin Shaojie! You¡¯ve got a message from an unsaved number, it¡¯s from 138xxx¡¡±
¡°Okay, got it,¡± Yin Shaojie said mildly, looking disinterested.
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. Had her guess been wrong?
Just then, Yin Shaojie walked over. Holding out his hand, he indicated for her to pass his phone to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t give him his phone, but said, ¡°What¡¯s your password?¡±
Yin Shaojie smirked. ¡°What? You¡¯ve been in deep thought for so long and you haven¡¯t guessed it?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
So he had known that she had been peeking at his phone.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and threw his phone to him. ¡°I¡¯m not guessing anymore! It¡¯s not my birthday anyway.¡±
Yin Shaojie sat down. Smiling at her, he said, ¡°Do you want to know my password? I can enter it once for you to see, but I don¡¯t think you can remember it.¡±
¡°And what if I do?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was motivated now. Wasn¡¯t it just a few numbers? How could she not remember it?
Mu Xiaoxiao was proud of her eyesight.
She smiled slyly. ¡°If I remember it, you¡¯ll have to let me y with your phone. Deal?¡±
¡°Deal,¡± Yin Shaojie replied.
Mu Xiaoxiao shifted her body close to his and fixed her attention on his hands.

Yin Shaojie shot a look at her. He looked a little proud as he entered his password single-handedly.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s gaze became a blur.
He was too fast!
Also, he didn¡¯t just enter a few numbers, but many of them. Because of his speed, they were entered in a matter of seconds.
The screen unlocked and showed the home screen.
Mu Xiaoxiao still looked a little stunned. She lifted her gaze and looked at his face.
¡°How¡ How many numbers are there in your password?¡±
Yin Shaojie chucked devilishly. ¡°About 30 or so. How¡¯s that? Did you manage tomit it to memory?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
What the f*ck! How was she supposed to remember that!
Even if he had written it out for her, she still wouldn¡¯t be able to memorize it!
She ridiculed, ¡°Why did you set such a long password? Don¡¯t you find it troublesome? You have to enter it every time and it wastes so much time. Time wasted is life wasted!¡±
¡°It¡¯s not troublesome. I can unlock my phone with my fingerprint too,¡± Yin Shaojie said as he showed her.
The reason for setting a password was to prevent people from looking through the contents of his phone.
Mu Xiaoxiao responded, ¡°¡ Okay, you win.¡±
She won¡¯t look through his phone then!
Humph!
Even though she said so, Mu Xiaoxiao was still bothered by that message she had seen earlier. Her dark eyes gazed upon him intively.
Yin Shaojie noticed her expression, of course. His eyes were smiling as he said, ¡°Do you really want to look through my phone?¡±
¡°Not anymore!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao huffed.
Yin Shaojie smiled as he said, ¡°How about this: Let¡¯s do things fairly and exchange phones. I¡¯ll let you look through my phone, but you¡¯ll have to let me look through yours in turn. Deal?¡±
¡°Sure! There¡¯s nothing in my phone that you can¡¯t see anyway¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao agreed immediately, but she recalled the thousand or so messages still lying in her phone!
If he took her phone, wouldn¡¯t he know that she had seen those messages then?
No way!
Mu Xiaoxiao looked a little embarrassed. ¡°Actually, never mind¡¡±
Also, he had so generously offered to let her look through his phone, which meant that there wasn¡¯t anything that he would feel guilty about inside.
Inparison, wouldn¡¯t she be the one at a loss then?
¡°Are you really not going to look through my phone?¡± Yin Shaojie said on purpose as he swung his phone in front of her.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°You should read the message first.¡±
She only wanted to know what the sender of the text was anyway.
However, Yin Shaojie stood up suddenly and said, ¡°The water¡¯s boiling. I¡¯ll go and put the noodles in.¡±
¡°Hey!¡± Why did she feel as though he had done that deliberately?
Also, he had taken his phone away, as though he had a guilty conscience.
Mu Xiaoxiao asked, ¡°Why did you take your phone away? Are you really that afraid that I¡¯ll y around with your phone?¡±
Yin Shaojie had already walked back into the kitchen. He lifted the lid of the pan before turning around to look at her. Holding up his phone, he said, ¡°I need to look at the recipe or I wouldn¡¯t know how to prepare the noodles.¡±
Oh, so that¡¯s why.
Mu Xiaoxiao jumped down from the sofa and walked over.
¡°How are you cooking this? Just prepare something simple. It shouldn¡¯t be hard, right?¡±
Wasn¡¯t the process of cooking noodles just putting the noodles in and then dumping the sliced ingredients after that?
¡°I¡¯m not a good cook, so it¡¯ll be better if I look at the recipe. Also, I¡¯m eating as well.¡±
Thus, the cooking mustn¡¯t be too horrible.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed. ¡°Oh yeah, you¡¯re a very picky eater.¡±
He refused to eat unptable food.
Yin Shaojie quickly finished cooking the noodles. Using a dishcloth as a makeshift mitten, he brought the pot over.
¡°Be careful.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao sat at the dining table, looking as though she was waiting to be fed.
Yin Shaojie shot a look at her. ¡°Why are you sitting there? Go and bring the bowls and chopsticks.¡±
Chapter 652 - Could It Be His Ex-Girlfriend? (6)

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Okay!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao rose to get the bowls and chopsticks.
The pot of the lid was lifted and the aromatic fragrance entered their noses.
Mu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and her eyes sparkled.
Yin Shaojie scooped some noodles into her bowl and ced it in front of her. ¡°Eat.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao feasted happily. She didn¡¯t expect the taste to be so good, and she ate two bowls of noodles until she was full.
¡°So full¡¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry at her. ¡°It¡¯s almost time for bed. Why are you eating so much?¡±
¡°Because it¡¯s delicious,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said as she ced both her palms on the table and grinned at him. ¡°Yin Shaojie, I think you have a talent for cooking. Wanna learn to cook some more dishes? We¡¯ll be able to eat at home then!¡±
She actually like to eat home cooked food, but since both of them didn¡¯t know how to cook, they could only eat out or call for delivery.
Yin Shaojie looked at her and harrumphed. ¡°Dream on!¡±
It was already good enough that a young master such as him was cooking some noodles for her, but she still wanted him to cook for her everyday?
Did she not know that he was a very busy man?
¡°Aiyoh, why not? It¡¯s not just cooking for me, you¡¯re also cooking for yourself.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao tried to persuade him. If they weren¡¯t sitting apart, she would have hugged his arm and acted coy.
¡°I don¡¯t like to cook.¡±
Yin Shaojie ced the pot and cutlery into the kitchen sink before beckoning to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know the reason for it and thus walked over.
Yin Shaojie pointed to the things in the sink and said, ¡°Since I cooked the noodles, you¡¯ll wash the dishes.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. ¡°Can I not? I don¡¯t like to wash dishes¡¡±
Yin Shaojie leaned his tall, handsome frame against a surface. Crossing his arms, he looked at her and said, ¡°Baby, have you heard of the phrase, ¡®do to others as they would do to you¡¯?
He then added, ¡°I don¡¯t like dishwashing either.¡±
Probably no one in the entire world liked to clean dishes, right?
At first, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t get what he meant. The gears in her head turned for a while and she then understood him.
She neither knew how to cook or liked to do it, but had ordered him to cook. If she wanted him to also wash the dishes, wouldn¡¯t it be imposing on him what she didn¡¯t like to do?
Mu Xiaoxiao caved. ¡°Alright¡¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded satisfactorily and rubbed her little head. ¡°Good girl.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao started at the dishes. Thinking about something, she sighed and said, ¡°I¡¯m really stupid.¡±
Yin Shaojie chuckled. ¡°Why are you calling yourself stupid all of a sudden?¡±
She usually got riled up when he called her stupid.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him and said gloomily, ¡°I just realized that we can¡¯t really cook ourselves. Cooking takes up a lot of time, and we still have to get ingredients. We¡¯re still students, so we don¡¯t have so much time to spare.¡±
Also, Yin Shaojie seemed to be opening apany together with Ye Sijue. He still had to manage his business, and he¡¯d have even less time to spare.
She thought that her sudden idea had been really dumb!
Luckily, Yin Shaojie was practical and didn¡¯t agree to it.
Yin Shaojie hugged her from behind and helped her with the dishes. He nted a kiss on her cheek as a reward and said amusedly in a low voice, ¡°If you want, we can hire an auntie to cook for us.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need to.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. She was starting to think of things from his perspective now and realized that it would be quite inconvenient if there was a stranger in their home.
Suddenly, she looked towards him and said, ¡°Oh yeah, I¡¯ve got something to ask you.¡±
¡°Ask away.¡± Yin Shaojie was a little addicted to kissing her and his lips lingered around her ear.
¡°You¡¯ve¡ dated so many girls. Is any one of them more special to you?¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ear was naturally sensitive. His kissing was making it itch and she kept jolting away.
Yin Shaojie paused. His dark eyes were fixed on her as he asked, ¡°Why are you asking this suddenly? Are you jealous?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed. ¡°Can¡¯t you use another term? You always ask me if I¡¯m feeling jealous. I can ask something like this whether or not I¡¯m jealous, right? Hurry up and tell me, and don¡¯t change the topic!¡±
She was very focused this time, and determined not to let him change the subject. She had to get an answer to this question today.
There wasn¡¯t much to wash up anyway, and she was almost done with the dishes even with Yin Shaojie¡¯s interference.
Mu Xiaoxiao ced the cleaned dishes onto the rack and turned around to look at him.
¡°So, have you thought of how to answer me?¡±
Yin Shaojie made a gesture and rinsed the dishes with water. After putting them in their ce, he held her hand and led her out of the kitchen.
They walked past the kitchen and arrived at the balcony.
¡°Let me warn you: don¡¯t try to trick me.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was feeling jealous and her tone sounded more imposing.
Yin Shaojie let her stand by the balcony while he embraced her from behind.
¡°Haven¡¯t I told you the answer to this before, long ago?¡±
¡°When? Why don¡¯t I remember it?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned and turned her head to look at him.
Yin Shaojie nted a kiss on her cheek and slowly trailed down and kissed the corner of her mouth.
That pair of soft and delicate lips were as delicious as jelly, and he could never have enough no matter how much he tasted them.
¡°This one.¡± He kissed her adoringly for a while before looking up and meeting her gaze with his dark ones, and uttered with tenderness.
¡°This one?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was confused and looked into his eyes dazedly.
Her eyes were misty from his kiss earlier, and she looked especially delicious and mesmerizing.
The pair gazed at each other in the dim balcony.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze was powerful and deep. It was devoid of his usual flippancy, reced by a dashing and steady one.
¡°This one. My kiss tells all.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was dazed for a while as her dark eyes looked into his deep ones. Suddenly, she understood.
His kiss¡
So what he meant was that she was the only one that he had kissed. Didn¡¯t this mean that all of his exes were insignificant to him? If there had been any who were special to him, they would have gotten his kiss already.
Warmth flooded Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart. She turned around to hug him, pressing her face against his chest.
The night breeze was a little cool, but she wasfortable in his warm embrace. She wanted to hug him like this forever and wished that nothing would ever change in the future.
Yin Shaojie kissed the top of her head. His muscr arms wrapped around her tightly.
The two stood there hugging each other for some time.
With lowered eyelids, Yin Shaojie finally said in a whisper, ¡°Alright, it¡¯s gettingte. We should sleep now. Have the noodles been digested?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her little head and looked at him. She then chortled mischievously and said, ¡°I don¡¯t think so?¡±
If she had known that this would have happened, she wouldn¡¯t have eaten so much. She still felt a little bloated.
However his cooking had been so good. If she had only eaten one bowl, it would have been a waste.
Mu Xiaoxiao pressed her face against his chest again and rubbed against it like a little kitty. She sounded a little coquettish as she said, ¡°When you¡¯re free again, do you mind cooking for me again?¡±

She wasn¡¯t requesting for him to cook for her everyday, but cooking for her once in a while should be fine, right?
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t reject her, of course. However, he thought for a little while and said, ¡°I don¡¯t mind at all, but I have a suggestion though. Want to hear it?¡±
¡°What¡¯s your suggestion?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head, puzzledt.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes smiled. ¡°Let¡¯s cook together next time, how about that? We can do it on a weekend.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes lit up and she nodded. ¡°Sure! Let¡¯s do it this weekend, then. We can invite Xiaomeng and the rest to eat with us too while the two of us cook. How does it sound?¡±
Yin Shaojie felt a little gloomy. He wanted them to have some alone time and didn¡¯t want an extra two gooseberries.
Did this girl not know how to read the mood?
¡°That¡¯s a discussion for another time,¡± he said. Suddenly, he carried her by the waist. ¡°Now, we have to go to sleep.¡±
It was already 11 o¡¯clock. If she stayed up anyter, she would have trouble getting up for school the next day.
Mu Xiaoxiao hooked her arms around his neck and said, ¡°But I¡¯m still feeling really full. How am I supposed to sleep when my food is not digested yet?¡±
¡°Let¡¯s do our favorite exercises on the bed before that to aid digestion, then.¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled sinisterly, his long legs carrying them towards the room.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was a little hot, but she didn¡¯t reject him this time.
The pair returned to the bedroom. Yin Shaojie ced her onto the bed. Leaning over her body, he looked at her.
The light in the bedroom was a soft orange, and there was a hazy beauty about it.
Upon seeing that she wasn¡¯t protesting, he was slightly surprised. His sexy lips quirked as heughed and said, ¡°Why are you being so obedient?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao grabbed the cor of his pajamas and pouted. ¡°Why? You don¡¯t like it? I¡¯ll start rebelling then.¡±
She lifted a leg and pushed him onto the bed just as the words left her mouth.
¡°Hehe.¡± She wasughing queerly. She knelt over him and pushed onto him with both her hands, as if trying to hold him down.
¡°Don¡¯t move. Be a good boy, you hear?¡±
Her manner was like that of a queen, as though she was in a drama and flirting with a handsome man.
Yin Shaojie was very cooperative. He smirked and held still as his starry eyes stared at her little face, trying to take in every cute expression she made.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked pleased. She nodded and said, ¡°Good boy.¡±
As if rewarding him, she lowered her head and nted a kiss on his face.
¡°That¡¯s it?¡± Yin Shaojie was now displeased and he narrowed his eyes.
Couldn¡¯t she have kissed his lips instead?
¡°We¡¯re doing this slowly; don¡¯t be impatient.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao coughed and smiled till her eyes resembled crescents.
Yin Shaojie looked at her and waited for her next move. ¡°May I ask your majesty what she ns to do to me?¡±
He thought, I must interact with her and guide her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was sitting on his waist and tugging at his cor. She looked at him, ¡°What I n to do? Of course I¡¯m not going to tell you!¡±
It was a surprise?
It was something that he wouldn¡¯t be able to guess!
¡°May I make a guess then?¡± Yin Shaojie said deliberately.
Mu Xiaoxiao patted his chest. ¡°Nope!¡±
He was too smart; he could probably guess what she wanted to do in a few guesses, and it wouldn¡¯t be fun anymore.
No, she must hurry and do it before he guesses anything!
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiao tugged at his pajamas and pulled it apart forcefully like a gangster.
¡°Pop, pop, pop¡¡±
The sound of his pajamas buttons being ripped off by her rang out.

His naked muscr chest was disyed right before her eyes in an instant.
Mu Xiaoxiao grinned satisfactorily. He couldn¡¯t have imagined that, could he?
Yin Shaojie cocked his brows and smiled, but remained silent. His dark eyes watched her, as if waiting for her next move.
After admiring his expression, she lowered her head. Her red lips pressed onto his chest and then she¡ wiped her saliva onto him.
She recalled that he had done it like this, right?
Her actions were really clumsy, as though she was ying house, but it made him jolt violently.
One of Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hands were on his chest, so she could feel his increasing heartbeat and the heaving of his chest.
Hehe!
Her pleasure rose by the second.
He had been aroused by her!
This was the first time she was looking at this part of him so seriously.
Goodness, it was just an ordinary human body, but why did she feel as though it was¡ so mesmerizing and sexy!
Mu Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva and her heart thumped.
She suddenly remembered the hickeys on her body, and pouting her lips, she started to suck on his corbone, hard.
Not bad, not bad. Mu Xiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction.
However, how was one enough?
He had nted so many hickeys on her body yesterday night!
Thus, she was going to ¡°get revenge¡± tonight and give him a taste of his own medicine!
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes were shed cunningly. Her lips moved to a different position on the side.
Yin Shaojie looked down. Upon seeing her delight in her own game, he became a little displeased.
¡°What are you ying over there? I¡¯m about to fall asleep from boredom,¡± he said, pretending to be disgusted. He even put his hands on the back of his head and looked at her, bored.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused. ¡°Just wait! I¡¯ve only done two.¡±
She recalled that he had nted at least ten hickeys on her, right? How could she lose to him?
Yin Shaojie guided her, ¡°Can you choose another location then? Do it a little lower so that it¡¯s not all in this area.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought, Oh, right.
Thus, she subconsciously moved her butt downwards and lowered her body again.
Yin Shaojie grunted.
Mu Xiaoxiao was delighted. He had been excited by her, right?
Don¡¯t think that she was easily bullied just because she had no experience. She was a fast learner, okay?
Thus, she put more enthusiasm in her kissing, as though she couldn¡¯t wait to wipe her saliva all over his chest.
His chest was very muscr and felt firm under her touch. Thus, it was a little hard for her to put a hickey on it.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t a person who gave up easily.
She had already determined that she would ¡°get revenge¡± and nt more than ten hickeys on his body!
Yin Shaojie¡¯s husky voice rang out from above her head. ¡°Go a little lower.¡±
Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao did as he instructed and moved her butt.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s breathing became heavier, and his voice sounded even huskier now. ¡°Go a little higher.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him, a little frustrated. ¡°Why should I listen to you! You¡¯re not allowed to speak!¡±
Yin Shaojie gritted his teeth as his body jolted.

Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. Her little hand touched his chest and she could feel the strong throbbing of his chest like the beating of a drum.
Also, his body temperature seemed to have gone up?
What was going on?
¡°Are you having a fever?¡± She was a little worried, so she reached out her hand to feel the temperature on his forehead. But her hand was too short, and she couldn¡¯t reach it, so she moved forward.
¡°I¡¯m fine¡ Okay! Stop!¡± Yin Shaojie suddenly shouted, his voice couldn¡¯t be more dreary.
As the pair of ck pupils gazed fixedly at her, even the temperature of the air seemed to have risen.
He appeared to be really sick.
Was he really having a fever?
¡°What¡¯s wrong? What¡¯s the matter with you? Tell me,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him worriedly. He really seemed to be in great difort as he tookrge breaths, his chest rising and falling vigorously.
She ced her hand on his chest. Thumping sensations pulsated from beneath her palm as if there was a drum hidden inside. The wild beating rhythm of the heart felt incredible and overwhelming.
Holding her thin waist with his big hands, Yin Shaojie took a deep breath before saying in a huff, ¡°You¡¯re really killing me!¡±
What?
Mu Xiaoxiao gave a stupid expression, apparently unable to understand what he said.
Why did he say that?
What did she do?
She didn¡¯t do anything!
Seeing that she actually hadn¡¯t noticed it yet, Yin Shaojie sighed helplessly, and he grabbed her hand to let her feel it.
Mu Xiaoxiao finally understood what he meant as she flushed red instantly.
¡°You¡ you¡¯re such a rogue!¡± she shouted bashfully.
Yin Shaojie snorted and retorted in a husky voice, ¡°Weren¡¯t you the one acting roguish just now, grinding on me like that? I¡¯m not dead, you know!¡±
It was not just a fever. He was burning up so much he could burst into mes.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was getting hot hearing him say that, and she quickly got off him bashfully.
¡°Um¡ okay, I think I¡¯m pretty much done with the digestion. Time to sleep¡ ah!¡±
Before her feet could touch the ground, the arm from behind her pulled her back.
Then, he turned the tables, and she was pinned down on the bed.
¡°Hey!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hands pressed up against his chest, her bright eyes red at him shyly, and she even exerted great force behind her hands, trying to push him away.
But it was to no avail. This guy was just like a mountain. He wouldn¡¯t budge, let alone be pushed away.
Although she knew that men and women were disparate in strength, the difference couldn¡¯t be thatrge, right?
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes seemed aze, narrowing his eyes to stare at her as though he was using her of her crimes.
After starting a fever in him, she was trying to run away?
Not a chance!
¡°You have eaten so much. How is this bit of exercise enough? Let¡¯s do a more intense exercise,¡± Yin Shaojie said, and he bent his head down to kiss her.
¡°Ah!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao dodged frightfully.
Yin Shaojie chuckled and turned her face back to face him.
Goodness gracious!
Mu Xiaoxiao drew back her breath, her face burning hot.
Yin Shaojie pinched her soft and cute cheeks.
¡°Wifey, that¡¯s more like it. You were too slow just now. You still have much more to learn.¡±
His voice was deep and sexy and though he said those naughty things he was still able to cause a stirring in her heart.
¡°Stop¡ Are you done?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said as she blushed.
¡°Am I done?¡± Yin Shaojie squinted. Was she looking down on him?

The next morning.
Although they had slepttest night, when Mu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes the sky was still dark outside.
ncing at Yin Shaojie beside her, she thumbed her nose and snorted at him.
Recalling the intensity fromst night, Mu Xiaoxiao frowned as she rubbed her aching wrist.
Why was he so naughty!
He actually got her to help him¡
At the thought ofst night¡¯s events, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heartbeat elerated and her face became red from embarrassment. Though she had only touched him over the clothing, the thought of him using her hands to help him do that made her wish she could crawl into a hole and hide.
How shameful!
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a great urge to punch the demon that was sound asleep.
But then she held back her hand as a thought came to her. She quietly went to the nightstand at his side of the bed and took the phone resting on top of it.
Afraid that he might wake up, she quickly slipped back into bed..
But how could she unlock it?
She certainly couldn¡¯t remember the long password fromst night.
Since that was the case¡
Mu Xiaoxiaoid down and turned to face him. The little hand slowly and gently reached over to him, lifted his index finger and pressed it down onto the phone¡¯s fingerprint scanner.
Unlocked!
Heheh! She snickered and put his hand back very slowly.
Then she quickly turned around, back facing him, and hid under the nket.
First, she opened up the messages, searching for the message fromst night.
However, that message couldn¡¯t be found.
Yin Shaojie had deleted it.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. He deleted it, which meant something must be up!
She felt dejected. If the text message hadn¡¯t been deleted, she could still have written down the phone number and made a call to find out who the other party was.
But now without even the phone number, she didn¡¯t know what to do.
Vexed, she swiped down the page and saw several unknown numbers. She opened those up, but there were only what seemed to be meaningless numbers in it. She had no idea what it meant.
¡°What the hell¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao muttered as she got more dejected.
Why did it feel like his phone contained an astronomical number ofl numbers? She couldn¡¯t make sense of it even after sneaking off with his phone.
She swiped down again, and her finger suddenly stopped.
It was hers¡
When she opened it up, the thousand text messages that he had sent to her before was still there, undeleted.
The corner of her mouth turned up in a smile, her mood instantly uplifted.
After browsing through a few of the messages, she almost felt like going through the whole bunch of messages again.
No, no, there was no time. She couldn¡¯t waste time on these since a particr demon could just wake up at any moment now.
The gears in her head turned, and then her eyes became locked on the photo album.
Her eyes curved into a mischievous arc. Could he be such a narcissist that he would take his own nude photos?
Cupping her hand over her mouth, sheughed up her sleeve.
Or could he have some photos secretly taken of her in his phone that he took out to look whenever he missed her?
She opened the photo album, excited.
However¡ there was not a single photo inside!
He didn¡¯t even have a photo of her, let alone any of himself.
Not a single one!
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted sulkily. Didn¡¯t he say how much he liked her? Yet, he didn¡¯t even have a single photo of her in his phone.
Humph! Outrageous!
Suddenly, she had a great urge to smash the phone.
What the heck was he using his phone for if not to take pictures of his girlfriend?
Suddenly, there was a scorching sensation on her back and a deep, husky voice said beside her ear, ¡°Peeping at my phone?¡±

¡°I¡¯m not!¡± In a conditioned reflex, Mu Xiaoxiao quickly hid the phone by her chest.
¡°No?¡± Yin Shaojie squinted. Because he had just woken up, his voice was slightly hoarse, but it was even deeper and more beguiling now.
Hearing him speaking right beside her ear, she could only feel the fuzziness in her ear.
The next second, a pair of warm, big hands slid into her shirt.
¡°Hey! Where are you touching?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao undted like a snake.
Her phone was only in front of her chest. She wasn¡¯t hiding it in her clothes. Why did he slide his hand into her clothes?
¡°I¡¯m looking for treasure,¡± Yin Shaojie said with a chuckle.
The heat from him seemed to have burned her because Mu Xiaoxiao trembled, her voice as she protested couldn¡¯t be weaker. ¡°Hey¡¡±
Sensing that his fingers were starting to do naughty things, she quickly said, ¡°Okay, okay, I¡¯ll give you back your phone! I¡¯ll stop looking, alright?¡±
¡°No,¡± Yin Shaojie naughtily denied her. ¡°Bad girl, you need to be punished.¡±
Fortunately, they rose early today, so they were not in a rush to head to school.
Thus, a particr demon took Mu Xiaoxiao through some morning exercises, working out their fingers and their mouths.
¡
In the physical education ss, she heard that they had to do a 800 meter run today.
Wearing the sports attire, Mu Xiaoxiao looked down at her neckline. Was it enough to cover the hickeys? Could they be seen?
Just as she was in the middle of worrying, she felt a pair of eyes staring at her. She looked up and saw An Zhixin.
Judging from the way Mu Xiaoxiao was behaving, she seemed to realize what Mu Xiaoxiao was doing and her face instantly turned grim.
Mu Xiaoxiao pretended to be fanning herself using the cor.
The girl next to her asked quizzically, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, are you feeling hot?¡±
Now that the weather was getting colder, the physical education ss hadn¡¯t started yet and they hadn¡¯t even done any warm ups, how could she be feeling hot?
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly and said, ¡°It¡¯s a bit hot.¡±
The girl said, ¡°Then take a break for now. Wait for the next round.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nced at An Zhixin. An Zhixin was in the first group, so she nodded, ¡°Okay.¡±
Over there, the whistle sounded and the first group started running.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t go and watch the runners. She sat on the stairs deep in her thoughts with her head lowered.
Suddenly, the girls at the side broke out inughter.
¡°Look at An Zhixin! Looks like they¡¯re messing with her!¡±
¡°She deserves it. What¡¯s a poor person like her acting like a rich missy for? When she got exposed she should have expected that things would turn out like this.
Startled, Mu Xiaoxiao looked up at the track.
She scanned around and saw An Zhixin.
An Zhixin was surrounded by several girls.
She looked just like a mouse being toyed with by cats. The girlsughed as they pushed her around.
An Zhixin staggered and almost fell down but she gritted her teeth, steadied herself, and continued to run.
But in the next second, a fat girl, in an outrageous fashion, mmed into An Zhixin. This time, An Zhixin fell to the ground.
¡°Hahahahahahaha¡¡± the othersughed.
¡°Did you see that? How that tiny body fell to the ground? It killed me! If she had been mmed a little harder, do you think she would have flown out of the track?¡±
¡°I think she will fly to the seats. Hahaha!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. Although she didn¡¯t like An Zhixin and was actually quite disgusted by her, she didn¡¯t feel good seeing a girl being bullied by so many people.

Chapter 659: I¡¯ll Apany You (1)

Those girls did not exercise any restraint in their words at all. An Zhixin was not even far from them. How could she not have heard them?
She stood up, pretending that she was fine and continued to run. But tears were already welling up in her eyes.
An Zhixin recalled the first day when she came to Shangde. It was so morous that the students did all kinds of things to ingratiate themselves with her. But only after a few days, it ended up like this?
Not being a wealthy missy means that I should be bullied by the likes of you?
Even she wished that she was a real rich missy!
However, even at this moment, An Zhixin did not have the slightest desire of giving up.
Even if she seemed so out of ce, she still didn¡¯t want to leave this ce that every girl dreamed ofing to.
This was Shangde!
It was the most famous college for the elite!
After experiencing how high-end, elegant, and ssy this ce was, An Zhixin was even more reluctant to return to her previous life.
This was her only chance to reach the world of the wealthy and she didn¡¯t want to give up.
She was never going to give up.
An Zhixin gritted her teeth and continued to run, enduring the pain in her legs.
The girls still continued to run beside her, shooting icy res at her and knocking into her from time to time.
An Zhixin remained unperturbed and she just wanted to concentrate onpleting the run.
But the more she acted this way, the more brazen the other party¡¯s behavior became. Someone even pulled on her hair.
¡°Let go¡¡± An Zhixin said painfully.
The girl called her a slut. Then, another girl tripped An Zhixin while she was distracted.
This time, An Zhixin fell harder on the track. Even the sight of it was painful.
¡°It hurts!¡± She held her leg that was grazed and curled up in a ball.
Tears gushed out instantly. She was indignant and resentful. All of her negative emotions broke out.
¡°How can you bully people like this! Did I ever provoke you?¡±
Looking to the side with her teary eyes, the deskmate who had eaten breakfast with her was ignoring her and the other boys didn¡¯t look like they were intending on helping her either.
What¡¯s worse was that the other girls who stood around were stillughing as if they were watching a clown. And the words that came out of their mouths were full of ridicule.
The girls grew even more delighted, believing that they had taken down the public scourge.
¡°Pooh! An Zhixin, do you know how disgusting you are? You think you¡¯re so good because you got good grades?¡±
In the past two days, in order to show off that her grades was better than Mu Xiaoxiao, An Zhixin had very eagerly raised her hand to answer the teacher¡¯s questions in every ss.
Every time she was done answering the question and obtained the teacher¡¯s praise, she would shoot Mu Xiaoxiao a provocative look.
However, what An Zhixin had neglected was that her behavior toward Mu Xiaoxiao had annoyed the other girls.
This was one of the reasons why these girls were bullying her.
To put it bluntly, if she had known her ce, even if everyone knew about how poor she really was, they would at most make some scornfulments and not take it this far.
¡°Aren¡¯t you a poor person? A poor person should act like a poor person. You think you¡¯re very pretty, always giving boys the amorous nces? What a slut!¡±
One of the girls grew increasingly furious as she talked about her. On the first day that An Zhixin came to ss S, her boyfriend had went to ingratiate himself with An Zhixin, ttering her for her good looks, her nice personality, and everything about her. From then on, it was as if a bomb had been nted in her heart.

¡°Ah¡ª¡ª¡± An Zhixin screamed out in pain as someone pulled her hair, her scalp instantly burning with numbness.
Other girls blocked An Zhixin so that the physical education teacher would not be able to see the situation. Given also that they were quite far away from the teacher, unless An Zhixin cried out loudly, the teacher wouldn¡¯t find out.
But they wouldn¡¯t give her the chance.
The girl holding An Zhixin¡¯s hair snorted, raised her hand, and swung it at An Zhixin.
Pah!.A crisp-sounding p.
Seeing that, Mu Xiaoxiao finally couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. This scene reminded how Lu Yichen¡¯s fans had ganged up on her when she had just came to Shangde.
The feeling of helplessness could only be understood by people who had experienced it.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly went over to them and shouted, ¡°Stop it!¡±
The girl felt good from the first hit and was going to go for the second, but someone had grabbed her wrist unexpectedly.
She turned back to look. ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao? Why are you stopping me?¡±
In contrast to how that girl treated An Zhixin, the girl didn¡¯t dare to yell at Mu Xiaoxiao as she lowered her voice when speaking to her.
Puzzled, another girl said, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, you hate her too, right? We know this slut likes Young Master Jie, and she treats you with hostility. Let me help you teach her a lesson!¡±
¡°No need.¡± Staring at the few of them, Mu Xiaoxiao exuded her imposing aura and said, ¡°Though indeed I don¡¯t like her, I don¡¯t need you to teach her a lesson for me.¡±
They were clearly the ones who wanted to hurt An Zhixin, yet they wanted to push the responsibility to her?
¡°Then don¡¯t intervene. This is between us and her.¡±
They just didn¡¯t like An Zhixin and wanted her to see her suffer.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to intervene, but you have gone out of line. How is this different from bullying?¡±
¡°We¡¡± The girls were stunned.
Bullying?
Was that so serious!
One girl said, in an embarrassed tone, ¡°We are just teaching her to be a good person. We¡¯re not hurting her. This can¡¯t count as bullying, right?¡±
¡°Yeah, we didn¡¯t beat her. She fell down on her own. We only helped her up in kind. To say that we are bullying her is quite an exaggeration.¡±
¡°This isn¡¯t bullying! It¡¯s just a joke we¡¯re ying between ssmates. Mu Xiaoxiao, stop exaggerating!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao tugged at the corner of her mouth. Then she took out her phone from her pocket and pointed the camera at them.
¡°Alright, you can continue. I will record what you girls are doing and put it online. We¡¯ll let theizens judge if this is bullying, okay?¡±
The few girls stared at each other and grew scared. They didn¡¯t say anything more and let go of An Zhixin and walked away.
An Zhixin stood up and gave Mu Xiaoxiao a cold stare. ¡°I won¡¯t thank you.¡±
She was certain that Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t helping her out of kindness, but only because she wanted to act like a good person in front of others, establishing a noble image so that Yin Shaojie would grow to like her even more.
An Zhixin couldn¡¯t help but be suspicious of the whole affair.
Did Mu Xiaoxiao instruct these girls to do this?
If not, then why did those girls stop ganging up on her the moment Mu Xiaoxiao showed herself, as if they were scared of her?
That must be the case!
An Zhixin red at Mu Xiaoxiao hatefully.
Was it because she wasn¡¯t more vicious and underhanded like Xiaoxiao that Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t like her?
If she could be as scheming as Mu Xiaoxiao, could she then¡ have the chance to be with Yin Shaojie?
In the end, An Zhixin came to a conclusion that it was because she was too kind and too naive in her ways that she had no chance with Yin Shaojie.

Chapter 661: I¡¯ll Apany You (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
With a look of disapproval, Mu Xiaoxiao said indifferently. ¡°Oh, I never asked for your thanks.¡±
It was just that she couldn¡¯t stand watching them anymore, not that she was trying to act the part of a good person.
Mu Xiaoxiao nced down at the bruise on her leg, which seemed quite serious, and she said tepidly, ¡°You should go to the infirmary.¡±
¡°Mind your own business!¡± An Zhixin said angrily as she grew increasingly resentful toward Mu Xiaoxiao.
This world was too unfair!
How could girls, who were scheming like Mu Xiaoxiao, be able to be Yin Shaojie¡¯s girlfriend?
And she, who was too kind, would be bullied with no one willing to help her.
Was this the cruel reality?
Why wasn¡¯t there a male protagonist, who would appear in the nick of time just like in the novels to save the damsel in distress?
Her anguish grew as she ruminated, resenting the heavens for being unfair toward her.
Mu Xiaoxiao could enjoy all the good things, but she could only bear the suffering from all the bad things.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt that she had interfered enough. She didn¡¯t want to go the whole mile in helping her and taking her to the infirmary.
So she shrugged shoulders and said, ¡°If that¡¯s what you want.¡±
An Zhixin snorted and limped out of the track.
She went up to the physical education teacher to report her injuries. The teacher was understanding of her situation, probably after catching sight of what happened earlier, so she told An Zhixin not to run anymore and quickly head to the infirmary.
The teacher saw her bruise and gestured to the boys, saying, ¡°Can anyone send your ssmate to the infirmary?¡±
The boys hurriedly dodged nces. Several of them went to the track saying that it was their turn to run.
The teacher hesitated, and said helplessly, ¡°An Zhixin, I¡¯ll take you there, alright?¡±
An Zhixin shook her head. ¡°No thanks, Teacher. I¡¯ll go by myself.¡±
Seeing how the boys had reacted, An Zhixin¡¯s heart ached as she was ovee with sadness, tears filling her eyes.
She clearly hadn¡¯t done anything. Why should she be treated like this?
The teacher looked at her and nodded. ¡°Be careful then¡±
An Zhixin walked to the hallway hesitantly.
She kept her head down as she didn¡¯t want others to see the wretched look of her.
Suddenly, an unknown object came flying out of nowhere. ¡°Dodge it!¡± shouted the boy, but the object hit directly on her head.
Struck by it, An Zhixin fell back to the ground on her butt, her head immediately buzzing with dizziness.
¡°Are you okay?¡± said a pleasant, refreshing voice from in front of her.
An Zhixin stared vacantly. The voice seemed extremely pleasant.
She looked up was greeted with a handsome, elegant face. This view that waspletely unexpected stupefied her.
I-Isn¡¯t he¡ Lu Yichen?!
Although An Zhixin had only been in Shangde for a few days, she knew the famous Lu Yichen, and also remembered seeing him at the basketball game.
He was the genius top student. Not only was he handsome, but she had also heard that he was a devoted lover. Unlike how fickle Yin Shaojie could be, Lu Yichen had rejected countless girls. She heard that he already had a girlfriend that he had been dating for many years. Thus, if even a pretty and wealthy girl came to confess to him, he would remain unmoved.
Oh yeah!
An Zhixin remembered that Lu Yichen didn¡¯te from a very good family, just like her.
So they were alike.
Because of this, Lu Yichen felt familiar to her. Even if he was looking at her with that stern expression, it didn¡¯t matter to her.
¡°Thank you.¡± She held her hand out to him and waited for him to pull her up.
Chapter 662 - I’ll Accompany You (4)
Chapter 662: I¡¯ll Apany You (4)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Lu Yichen frowned and stared at her apathetically.
He wasn¡¯t the one who sent the ball flying to her, but his teammate. It was only because he was standing in front that he instinctively asked her if she was alright.
That teammate who had smashed the ball at her certainly understood Lu Yichen¡¯s personality, so he quickly went up to pull up An Zhixin.
The boy said apologetically, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. It slipped out of my hand. You¡¯re not hurt, are you?¡±
An Zhixin totally ignored him, her eyes still riveted on Lu Yichen¡¯s face. ¡°I¡ I¡¯m a little dizzy. Can you help me to the infirmary?¡±
Staring at how cool he looked, An Zhixin couldn¡¯t stop her heart from racing.
In contrast to how wild and unrestrained Yin Shaojie was, Lu Yichen was proud and aloof. He had a different kind of charm, but he was still able to charm girls like Yin Shaojie nheless.
An Zhixin felt that she was too lucky. This was practically a scene out of an idol drama.
Then, she heard girls eximing at the side.
¡°Oh my, Senior Yichen actually talked to her! That¡¯s infuriating. Why is An Zhixin is so lucky to have Senior Yichen show concern for her?¡±
¡°I¡¯m so jealous. I wish I was the one who got hit by the ball.¡±
An Zhixin was gleeful.
And she was even happier when Lu Yichen showed a soft smile after hearing what she said.
His cold demeanor seemed to have melted in an instant.
An Zhixin felt a sudden rush of joy, imagining how he felt toward her¡
However, Lu Yichen simply went past her and called out in a gentle voice, ¡°Xiaoxiao!¡±
An Zhixin was rooted to the ground, frozen.
H-he was calling Mu Xiaoxiao?
As though to deal her a second blow, Lu Yichen said, ¡°Xiaoxiao, are you also having physical education ss now?¡±
An Zhixin¡¯s heart, that was only gleeful moments ago, fell apart like a smashed mirror.
It turned out that Lu Yichen knew Mu Xiaoxiao¡ and they even seemed to be pretty close.
So was it only because he saw Mu Xiaoxiao that he gave that smile just now?
The boy beside her saw her paleness and asked worriedly, ¡°Junior, are you okay? You don¡¯t have a concussion, do you? Why don¡¯t I take you to the infirmary first?¡±
An Zhixin avoided his hands contemptuously and said, ¡°No!¡±
I don¡¯t want you!
She had initially thought that she would be able to have the famous Lu Yichen take her to the infirmary. Suddenlyparing this guy to Lu Yichen, she didn¡¯t want to ept him and her attitude toward this Year Three senior worsened.
She waited for a while, thinking that Lu Yichen had just asked her if she was alright, which meant that he was concerned about her. Seeing as she wasn¡¯t willing to head to the infirmary, he would probablye back to show concern again, right?
However, he didn¡¯t.
Upon seeing Mu Xiaoxiao, Lu Yichen immediately went up to Mu Xiaoxiao without even saying anything to An Zhixin, as if he hadpletely forgotten that An Zhixin existed.
An Zhixin became impatient, so she turned back and saw that Lu Yichen had already walked far away, chatting happily with Mu Xiaoxiao, not sparing even a single nce at her.
H-how could he do this?
He had shown concern for her just now. Wasn¡¯t taking her to the infirmary the chivalrous thing to do?
Infuriated, An Zhixin felt like a child abandoned by the world.
Why would the heavens treat her like this?
Didn¡¯t anyone care about her?
After being hit on the head, she was a little dizzy. Just as she started walking, her body swayed unsteadily.
Chapter 663 - I’ll Accompany You (5)
Chapter 663: I¡¯ll Apany You (5)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The Year Three boys immediately hooted, ¡°Ah Li, the junior is gonna faint. What are you standing around for? Hurry up and take her to the infirmary. You¡¯re the one who hit her. You gotta take responsibility!¡±
¡°Ugh, I got it!¡± the boy said, looking at An Zhixin anxiously, ¡°Will you let me send you to the infirmary? Otherwise if anything happens to you, it¡¯d be trouble for me too.¡±
An Zhixin was too dizzy, so she could only agree to let him help her to the infirmary.
Then a girl shouted, ¡°Pretentious. How disgusting!¡±
An Zhixin was hurt by thement, and her face turned even whiter.
Meanwhile.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t expect to see Lu Yichen during physical education ss, so she asked curiously, ¡°How is it that I¡¯ve never seen you during ss before?¡±
Lu Yichen smiled and exined, ¡°We¡¯re in year three. Sometimes the physical education ss is taken up by other sses. Even if we do attend the physical education ss, most of the time the ss is held in the gym, so that¡¯s why we never bumped into each other. It happens.¡±
The two found an empty space to sit and chat.
It turned out that Lu Yichen and his ssmates just happened to be going to the basketball court when he bumped into Mu Xiaoxiao.
Lu Yichen looked at her and said, ¡°I just happened to have something to tell you.¡±
¡°Oh, what is it?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was curious. What did he want to talk about?
Lu Yichen¡¯s expression changed slightly, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, and he said, ¡°In a few days, I will take Mama overseas for treatment.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. Worried, she asked, ¡°Is Auntie¡¯s condition¡¡±
Lu Yichen shook his head. Then he smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s not getting worse. But the doctor said we should not dy treatment for Mama¡¯s condition. Getting a donor in China takes a long time. He said that if we have the money, we could try our luck overseas. If she happens to get a sessful match then she can start the transnt surgery.¡±
However, it would be twice as expensive.
Lu Yichen remembered the money that Mu Xiaoxiao had given him.
He stared at her broodingly and said, ¡°If the operation is sessful, the full cost may be more than a million yuan. So thank you, Xiaoxiao.¡±
Initially when she made him take the two million yuan, he felt a strong urge to say something. But because she was very sad at the time, he couldn¡¯t bring himself to refuse her. He didn¡¯t want her to be even more upset so he could only keep it for the time being.
At that time, he didn¡¯t intend to use the money.
However, as if it was really fated for him to use it, his mother had to go overseas for treatment this time and the cost was at least one million yuan. So this two million yuan that he received was truly a lifesaver.
His mother was his only rtive, so he couldn¡¯t lose his mother.
At first, he thought that he would at least have to spend a long time struggling with the thought of having taken the money from her.
However, when he remembered what she had said to him that night as she cried, suddenly it didn¡¯t seem that hard to ept it.
It wouldn¡¯t be hard unless he didn¡¯t regard her as a friend.
When he epted it, did it mean that they were really friends?
Even if it was only a simple friendship, it made him really happy.
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao was relieved, her eyes smiling. ¡°That¡¯s great! I hope all goes well and Auntie can recover smoothly! But if the conservative estimate is more than one million, then two million may not be enough. If it¡¯s not enough¡¡±
Lu Yichenughed. ¡°You still want to lend me more money? Aren¡¯t you afraid that I may not be able to pay you back?¡±
Chapter 664 - I’ll Accompany You (6)
Chapter 664: I¡¯ll Apany You (6)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°You will pay me back.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao beamed brightly as she said this.
Lu Yichen¡¯s heart softened as he remembered that she said she was sure that he would get ahead in life.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiao offered a hand to him. ¡°Do you have some money on you? Lend it to me.¡±
Even though Lu Yichen didn¡¯t know what she wanted the money for, he still took it out from his pocket and put it in her palm. ¡°I only have this much. Are you thinking of buying something to eat?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao held up the money in her hand and asked, ¡°Is this all you have on you?¡±
¡°Yeah, this is all I have. If it isn¡¯t enough, I can help you borrow money from someone else.¡±
However, Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and smiled. ¡°Look, you¡¯re willing to part with all the money you have on you. So, me lending you some money isn¡¯t a big deal at all.¡±
Lu Yichen was stuck between whether tough or to cry. ¡°How¡¯s that the same?¡±
How could 50 dors and two million bepared?
¡°They¡¯re the same.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her head matter-of-factly. She lowered her voice and whispered into his ear, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you something: My family is really rich, so this sum of money to me is the same as the sum of money you have now to you.¡±
If he were anyone else, he would have thought that she was boasting about how rich her family was.
However, she knew that Lu Yichen wouldn¡¯t think like that.
Lu Yichen looked at her a little uprehendingly. So two million to her was like 50 dors to him? How rich was she, exactly?
Even the girls in ss S may not be able to hand out two million so easily.
However, because Lu Yichen didn¡¯t know about ¡°the legendary Mus¡±, he naturally didn¡¯t think about how Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s real identity was actually very shocking.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and patted his shoulder. ¡°If you really run out of money in the future, you mustn¡¯t hesitate to ask me, okay? Oh yeah, which country are you going?¡±
¡°America,¡± Lu Yichen answered. He didn¡¯t argue with her previous sentence, which meant that he had already epted it in his heart.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes lit up and she said, happily, ¡°America? That¡¯s my territory! I¡¯ll help you put things in order when the timees so that Auntie¡¯s treatment will be sessful.¡±
Upon seeing that he was about to reply, Mu Xiaoxiao stopped him hastily. Pointing a finger at his nose, she threatened, ¡°Let me tell you this: You can¡¯t say no! You can¡¯t reject me! If not, I¡¯ll not be your friend anymore, you hear? Tell me you hear me right now!¡±
Lu Yichen smiled helplessly and nodded. ¡°I hear you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded satisfactorily. ¡°Good boy.¡±
Just then, a girl walked over and said, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re the only one who hasn¡¯t run yet!¡±
It was only then that Mu Xiaoxiao remembered that she still had to run 800 meters. Her beaming face fell instantly.
¡°I¡¯m the only one left? Have all the others ran already?¡±
¡°Yeah, you should hurry up and do it. The teacher wants to record your time.¡± The girl looked at Lu Yichen intermittently after she said this and she was blushing every time she looked away.
Mu Xiaoxiao stood up and dusted her shorts off. ¡°Alright, I can¡¯t talk with you anymore. I¡¯m going to run now. Remember to tell me before you go to America.¡±
Lu Yichen stood up as well and looked towards the empty running tracks.
Mu Xiaoxiao walked to the starting line. She signaled to the teacher and started running at the blow of a whistle.
However, she was the only one on the running tracks. It was a little awkward!
Just then, a handsome figure appeared beside her and ran parallel to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Yichen, stunned. ¡°What¡¯re you doing?¡±
¡°Warming up before basketball,¡± Lu Yichen said, smiling.
Chapter 665 - Love Rivals (1)
Chapter 665: Love Rivals (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao could tell that he must have seen that she was awkward running alone and hade to apany her.
¡°I¡¯m alright being alone. It¡¯s not as though I haven¡¯t been gawked at before so you don¡¯t have to run with me. Hurry and go y basketball with your friends.¡±
¡°I said I¡¯m warming up,¡± Lu Yichen said simply.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t change his mind and thus decided to keep quiet.
The two ran together like this.
They were the only ones who were on the track. The rest of the students who were resting beside it had their attention captured by them involuntarily.
A handsome boy with a pretty girl ¡ª they made a fine pair. The scene before them looked very picturesque.
Someone took out his phone and took a snap of the scene.
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao had quite good stamina, she didn¡¯t usually run and thus was panting after that.
However, perhaps it was because Lu Yichen had run with her that she felt as if her run was done in a short time.
¡°Xiaoxiao, how are you feeling?¡± Lu Yichen asked, concerned.
One should walk ahead slowly after a run and not sit down immediately.
Mu Xiaoxiao held her waist and shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±
However, she looked a little weak.
Seeing that she was licking her lips incessantly, Lu Yichen looked up and called out to his ssmates at the nearby basketball court. A bottle of water was swiftly delivered to them.
He unscrewed the bottle and gave it to her.
¡°Drink some water.¡±
¡°Thanks.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao took the bottle from him. Lifting her head, she gulped down a big mouthful of water.
Lu Yichenughed as he looked at how fast she was trying to drink the water. ¡°Slow down, no one¡¯s fighting you for the water.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao gulped down another mouthful of water. ¡°I¡¯m thirsty. Do you want some?¡±
She held the bottle to him subconsciously before pausing suddenly, realizing that this might be inappropriate.
Wasn¡¯t it indirect kissing if the two shared a bottle of water?
Actually, she had done things like this in America frequently and thus thought nothing of it since they were all good friends. Most people wouldn¡¯t touch the lip of the container, but just poured the water into their mouths directly without their lips touching it.
However, things were different now.
She had a fianc¨¦ now and thus had to behave with more propriety.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know how to take back the words that she had already said, and thus looked a little awkward.
Lu Yichen only smiled mildly and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯m not thirsty. You should drink it. I have water over there.¡±
She didn¡¯t know if he had seen her expression.
Mu Xiaoxiao teased deliberately, ¡°I was only asking. Did you really think that I¡¯d let you drink? I¡¯m so thirsty that I don¡¯t think one bottle is enough for me.¡±
She put the bottle to her lips again and started gulping the water down.
She finished the entire bottle of bottle swiftly.
She belched after she was done.
Lu Yichen looked at her, ¡°Do you want some more water? I¡¯ll go get one for you.¡±
¡°No, no.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao waved hurriedly. Perhaps it was because she had chugged the water down so rapidly, but she felt a little full after drinking.
¡°Go y basketball. You don¡¯t have to apany me anymore.¡±
If he continued to hang out with her the period was going to end before he had a chance to y basketball with his friends.
Lu Yichen nodded. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be going now then.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao waved, ¡°Bye bye.¡±
She belched again and looked a little embarrassed.
Lu Yichen was tickled by her again.
After he had gone for a distance, a few girls walked over and surrounded Mu Xiaoxiao. They sighed, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, I¡¯m so envious of you. You¡¯re not only dating Young Master Jie, but also on such good terms with Senior Yichen.¡±

¡°I know, right? I¡¯ve never seen Senior Yichen being so nice to anyone before. Mu Xiaoxiao, does he like you?¡±
¡°It must be so! Mu Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re so lucky. There are so many handsome guys who like you. You¡¯re also close to Song Shijun and your rtionship looks really close. Does he like you too?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled bitterly. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about! They don¡¯t like me. We¡¯re just friends.¡±
¡°Really?¡± The girls were in disbelief.
Mu Xiaoxiao said helplessly, ¡°Can¡¯t girls and guys just be friends? Qiqing and Shijun hang out together frequently so do they have to like each other romantically?¡±
¡°But¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was tired from finishing her run. She didn¡¯t want to debate with them and thus waved a hand to interrupt the girls¡¯ words.
¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. We¡¯re really just friends. If you like Lu Yichen, you can try to get closer to him. I¡¯m so tired and I want to sit down.¡±
¡°Sit here. I¡¯ll hold you.¡±
This time, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t reject them. Her legs felt a little weak and being held made things feel a little morefortable.
Some of the girls followed her and sat down around her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little unused to the sudden friendliness shown to her.
¡°You can go and y. I can rest here alone.¡±
One of the girls stammered, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao¡ about that, how about we go over there to see Senior Yichen y basketball?¡±
¡°You can go there by yourselves. I¡¯m not going.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t very interested in basketball. Also, it was a little more sunny there than here
¡°But¡¡± The girls looked at each other. ¡°If you don¡¯t go, there isn¡¯t any point in us going there.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao understood them instantly. They wanted to use her to interact with Lu Yichen.
She thought for a while and stood up. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go and watch him, then.¡±
The girls by her side hugged her arms as they beamed. ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re such a good person!¡±
When Mu Xiaoxiao was in America, her good friends would often hug her arms like this as well. However, she wasn¡¯t close to these girls, and thus felt that such an intimate gesture was a little¡ weird.
However, she didn¡¯t shake them off out of politeness.
Thus, a bunch of girls headed to the side of the basketball court.
There was arge tree at the corner of the basketball court that provided shade. The girls chose to sit there.
In the court, Lu Yichen was ying basketball with his ssmates.
Because there weren¡¯t a lot of people, they yed a three-on-three match, with a boy at the side keeping score for them.
Upon seeing Mu Xiaoxiao walk over, Lu Yichen nced over and waved to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and waved back.
However, the girls beside her were shrieking.
¡°AH ¡ª!! Senior Yichen¡¯s waving at us!¡±
¡°Ah,ah! I¡¯m going to faint from happiness. Senior Yichen is so handsome!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao dug at her ears, smiling bitterly with regret.
She wouldn¡¯t havee if she had known this would happen.
In the past she had only heard these infatuated screams from a distance. Now however, they were right beside her and the screams seemed as if they were going to burst her eardrums.
She practically asked for this!
However, upon seeing the girls¡¯ happy and excited faces she couldn¡¯t bear to tell them that she wanted to leave.
Alright! She would stay and follow through with her actions.
The basketball match was intense. Lu Yichen wasn¡¯t calm as usual and yed a little more aggressively.
Chapter 667 - Love Rivals (3)

He didn¡¯t usually show off like this when he yed. Even if he was able to score, he would give his teammates a chance and not dominate the entire match.
However, it might be because they were ying three-on-three or that¡ there was a certain someone watching him.
Thus, Lu Yichen practically dominated the entire match.
Another beautiful rebound score.
The girls by the side screamed fanatically.
¡°So handsome! So handsome! I can¡¯t take it anymore! I¡¯m about to faint! Did you see that? Senior Yichen¡¯s scoring looked so handsome!¡±
¡°We saw it, we saw it! He¡¯s freaking handsome!¡±
¡°Did you notice? After Senior Yichen scored, he looked over here. He even smiled and it looked so gorgeous!¡±
¡°Of course I saw it! If I had known he would do that, I would have snapped a picture of it with my phone. I¡¯ll take it out every night and look at it and imagine that he¡¯s smiling at me. I¡¯ll have beautiful dreams every night.¡±
¡°Beautiful dreams? I think you mean wet dreams!¡±
¡°You¡¯re the one having wet dreams!¡±
The girls were having a lively conversation. Between them, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes were half closed and her gaze was unfocused as she looked dazedly at the floor in front of her.
There was a slight breeze and it caressed her body and face. The cooling sensation was veryfortable.
Perhaps it was because she had been tired from running, and thus she felt like sleeping now that she was resting.
Mu Xiaoxiao yawned and her little head nodded.
The noise from the crowd became a luby.
She closed her eyes slowly¡
Her little head dropped onto a shoulder beside her.
The girl was stunned. Upon seeing Mu Xiaoxiao leaning against her shoulder and sleeping, she looked at the rest in shock. ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao is asleep, what do we do?¡± she whispered.
The rest whispered back, ¡°Don¡¯t wake her, let her sleep a little bit. Endure this for a while.¡±
The girl made a bitter face but didn¡¯t protest.
On the court, Lu Yichen saw Mu Xiaoxiao leaning on someone sleeping the next time he swept his gaze over there.
A few minutester.
That girl was a petite person and was buckling under the weight of Mu Xiaoxiao. Her little face was frowning and she moved her shoulder away little by little.
¡°Hey! What are you doing? Won¡¯t Mu Xiaoxiao fall over if you move away like that?¡± Another girl noticed, and she hurriedly voiced out.
¡°But¡ My shoulder is aching.¡±
¡°How about we wake her up?¡± someone suggested.
The girls looked at each other and thought that it was a good idea. They were about to wake Mu Xiaoxiao.
Just then, Lu Yichen threw the ball to the ssmate who was by the side of the court and gestured for him to take his ce. He then walked over to the girls.
¡°Don¡¯t wake her.¡± His deep, cool voice stopped the girls¡¯ actions.
It was only then that the girls realized that he had walked over and they looked very excited.
¡°Senior Yichen¡¡±
Lu Yichen made a shushing gesture at them.
The girls hurriedly swallowed their words and looked at him with infatuation.
Goodness gracious, this was their first time seeing his face up close.
He was so handsome! So freaking handsome!
¡
¡°Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was woken by the sound of the bell. She opened her eyes hazily and was confused about where she was for a moment.
Her neck felt ufortable. She lifted her head and rubbed it.
The breeze wasforting to her face.
¡°You¡¯ve woken?¡± There was a deep, pleasant voice by her ear.
Shocked, Mu Xiaoxiao turned to the speaker.
Chapter 668 - Love Rivals (4)
Chapter 668: Love Rivals (4)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Lu Yichen? Why are you¡¡±
She looked around her.
It was only then that she remembered that she was on the basketball court¡¯s spectator seats¡
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Yichen awkwardly and said, embarrassed, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Why are you here though? Where are my ssmates?¡±
She remembered clearly that she had been sitting with her female ssmates.
She then leaned on a ssmate¡¯s shoulder because she had been too tired.
At first, she only wanted to take a nap but had fallen into a deep sleep instead.
Lu Yichen said mildly. ¡°The period ended and they returned to the ssroom.¡±
He didn¡¯t tell her that he had already exchanged ces with her female ssmates before the period had ended.
Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her temples. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you wake me up?¡±
Lu Yichen was silent.
Just then, the bell rang again.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a lot more awake and asked, ¡°Did ss just end?¡±
Why wasn¡¯t there anyone around them? Did everyone rush off?
¡°No, it¡¯s lesson time.¡±
Thus, the bell before was the one that signaled the students to prepare for lessons, while the bell now was the bell that signaled the start of lessons.
Mu Xiaoxiao stood up hurriedly. ¡°I¡¯ll be going back to ss then.¡±
Upon seeing that she was a little dizzy, Lu Yichen reached out to hold her arm. In a gentle voice, he said, ¡°Slow down. You should rest for a little bit.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she said, ¡°I¡¯m already awake. I¡¯m fine.¡±
Lu Yichen stood up as well. ¡°Let¡¯s go then.¡±
The two of them left the basketball court. Lu Yichen apanied her to the Year One building before leaving.
When he returned to Year Three ss S, the teacher had long begun ss.
However, the teacher¡¯s attitude was pleasant because it was him. He was only told to sit down.
Just as Lu Yichen sat down, the boy who was in front of him, who was also one of the boys he yed basketball with earlier, turned around. Smiling suggestively, he said, ¡°Is the junior awake?¡±
Lu Yichen cast an indifferent gaze at him. ¡°Don¡¯t spout nonsense. Pay attention.¡±
¡°Do you like her?¡± his ssmate pursued.
Mu Xiaoxiao was Young Master Jie¡¯s girlfriend and everyone knew that.
Lu Yichen looked at him and advised kindly, ¡°The teacher¡¯s looking at you.¡±
The boy was shocked and turned around hurriedly. He whispered, ¡°I¡¯ll talk to you after ss.¡±
Even though Lu Yichen was a distant person, he still conducted himself well, and was a member of the basketball team. Thus, he had a harmonious rtionship with the boys in his ss even though he still did things alone, unlike the other boys who often grouped together.
However, the boys in his ss found that he had changed a little recently. He agreed when they asked him to y ball and didn¡¯t reject them when they walked together with him. He would even answer a little when they talked to him.
In short, his poprity increased!
After ss.
The boys who had payed basketball earlier crowded around Lu Yichen¡¯s desk.
¡°Oi, oi, Lu Yichen, what¡¯s up now?¡±
¡°Do you¡ like her?¡±
¡°Lu Yichen, we lost because you chose a girl over your bros. Who¡¯s going to treat us now?¡±
Lu Yichen said lightly, avoiding the other questions, ¡°It¡¯ll be my treat then.¡±
¡°Your treat?¡± The boys were shocked.
Someone said awkwardly, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I think we should let Ah Li and the rest treat us instead. Aren¡¯t you¡¡±
Everyone knew that his family¡¯s finances weren¡¯t very good. Thus, when they suggested that the loser treat them to a meal, they did so with the fact that Lu Yichen would definitely win in mind, so that they would have an excuse to treat him to a meal.

However, no one had expected Lu Yichen to leave halfway during the match just so that he could let Mu Xiaoxiao lie on him and sleep.
The guys sighed involuntarily as they recalled the scene from before.
Lu Yichen was not only a top student with excellent grades but he was also thoughtful and caring towards girls. It was no wonder that there were so many girls who were secretly crushing on him.
Sadly¡ Mu Xiaoxiao was already taken.
No matter how they looked at it, Lu Yichen looked like he was the supporting lead who fell in love with the female protagonist.
The boys thought of this at the same time and looked at one another. They patted Lu Yichen on his shoulder sympathetically.
One of them recalled something suddenly and asked, ¡°Oh yeah, Lu Yichen, didn¡¯t you say that you have a girlfriend? Then what¡¯s with you and Mu Xiaoxiao¡¡±
Lu Yichen shot a look at him. ¡°I already said that we¡¯re only friends. Can you stop spouting nonsense? If you say any more of such things I¡¯ll retract my treat.¡±
The boys changed the subject tacitly.
¡°Alright, alright, alright, we¡¯ll stop talking about it. Let¡¯s talk about where we¡¯re going to eat after school then.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s have grilled fish. I don¡¯t mind having hotpot either.¡±
¡°Grilled fish it is. Hotpot is a little too expensive¡ Let¡¯s have that next time. I feel like grilled fish today.¡±
¡°Grilled fish it is.¡±
The rest of the boys agreed.
They were making a racket, and Lu Yichen turned to look out of the window.
The image of Mu Xiaoxiao sleeping on his shoulder suddenly came to mind. Her peaceful little face looked beautiful, and her soft and smooth skin looked as though it had no pores at all andit was as delicate as baby¡¯s skin.
At such a close range, her youthful fragrance had lingered in his nose.
Even when he closed his eyes now, he felt as though her scent was still around him.
His heart throbbed involuntarily.
He would have liked that moment tost forever if it was possible.
Lu Yichen¡¯s gaze dimmed.
¡
The bell rang for the end of school.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s head was on the table and she didn¡¯t want to move.
Even though she had only run 800 meters, she felt as though her legs had be paralyzed and softened into mud for she could not lift them up.
A girl said, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, why are you lying there? School¡¯s out. Do you want to head out together?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head slightly and waved them off. ¡°You guys go ahead. I want to rest for a bit.¡±
A boy teased, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, how can you be so tired when you¡¯ve only run 800 meters? Are you legit? Would you like one of us to carry you downstairs?¡±
¡°No!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao snorted and rejected his offer.
Another girl said deliberately, ¡°Even if Mu Xiaoxiao wants someone to carry her she would choose Young Master Jie. It wouldn¡¯t be you.¡±
¡°Right, you wouldn¡¯t dare to carry her even if she let you. Shouldn¡¯t you be afraid of Young Master Jie¡¯s jealousy if he sees you?¡±
These words made all the other boys shut up and rub their noses, embarrassed.
¡°Alright, school¡¯s out. Let¡¯s go home.¡±
After her ssmates trailed out, Mu Xiaoxiao was finally left in peace. She put her head on the table, unmoving, but her eyes kept flickering to her phone in her drawer.
Why hadn¡¯t Yin Shaojie called her yet?
A few minutester, most of the people had already gone out of the ssroom.
Just as Mu Xiaoxiao was about to lift her head, she heard a mocking voice.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re so scheming towards the boys. Do you mind teaching me how to get so many guys to like me, too?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao cupped her chin in her hand and gazed at An Zhixin in front of her coldly.
¡°What did you say? Say that again.¡±
Her gaze clearly challenged An Zhixin to repeat her words if she dared.
Chapter 670 - Love Rivals (6)
Chapter 670: Love Rivals (6)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao had nothing else to say to her. She had been kind and had helped her out during their Physical Education ss, and it was one thing for An Zhixin to not feel grateful for it for Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t expect her to be anyway, but it was another thing to provoke her again. Was this not abnormal?
Mu Xiaoxiao really suspected if there was something wrong with An Zhixin.
Something wrong with her mental state!
At first, An Zhixin wasn¡¯t afraid of her. She wanted to say it once more out of anger, but Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s gaze gave her pause.
Mu Xiaoxiao had an unexpectedly¡ icy gaze.
Mu Xiaoxiao leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms as though she was waiting for something. She goaded again, ¡°What? You don¡¯t dare to repeat it? An Zhixin, are you as cowardly as a mouse?¡±
An Zhixin looked a little shocked and she stammered, ¡°Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know you¡¯re going to tell Young Master Jie about this so that he can get back at me. I¡¯m not so stupid as to give you that chance to! Humph!¡±
She packed her stuff hurriedly as she spoke and dashed out of the ss as though she were making an escape.
Mu Xiaoxiao tutted boredly. She had wanted to tease An Zhixin, but had not expected her to be smart enough to make up an excuse and run off upon realizing that she couldn¡¯t win.
Now she was the only one left in the ssroom.
Mu Xiaoxiao then took out her phone from her drawer and called Yin Shaojie.
Unexpectedly, the phone rang for a while. However, no one picked up and the call cut off automatically.
She frowned. What was going on?
School had been out for quite a while already. She could ept that he didn¡¯t call her, but how could he not pick up her call?
Mu Xiaoxiao dialed his number once more. This time the call was picked up after ringing twice.
¡°Oi! Yin Shaojie! What were you busy with? I¡¯m in the ssroom now. My legs are tired from running 800 meters today and I don¡¯t want to move. Come here and carry me.¡±
She had waited for all her ssmates to leave before making this call so that she could ask him to carry her without their scrutiny.
Unexpectedly, the voice that came from the other side of the phone was a girl¡¯s gentle but charming voice. ¡°Are you Xiaoxiao? Shaojie¡¯s at a meeting right now but he¡¯ll be freeter.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked and she frowned. ¡°Who are you?¡±
The other person paused for a few seconds before replying. It belonged to the same girl, but it had hardened. ¡°Who I am? Xiaoxiao, stop pretending. You don¡¯t know who I am?¡±
A furious Mu Xiaoxiao said sharply, ¡°Stop your nonsense! Who are you? Why do you have Yin Shaojie¡¯s phone? Never mind, return his phone to him! I want him to exin this to me himself!¡±
Dammit!
What the heck was Yin Shaojie doing?
Why had he handed his phone to another girl to answer?
Who was he with?
The girlughed lightly and exined, ¡°Haven¡¯t I already told you? He¡¯s in a meeting.¡±
¡°Why is he in a meeting!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was a little agitated and her thoughts started to run wild. Could Yin Shaojie be meeting up with one of his exes?
The other girl replied, ¡°He¡¯s at a Student Union meeting. Aiyoh, Xiaoxiao, since when have you be so vulgar? By the way, do you really not recognize me? Xiaoxiao, I¡¯m so sad!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was feeling impatient. ¡°Who are you? Should I know who you are?¡±
She didn¡¯t know why but she felt upset when she heard the girl¡¯s gentle and soothing voice.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao calmed down a little.
From the perspective of the other party, it seemed as though she should know her.
Who could she be?
The girl from the other side of the phone said in a gentle and lovely voice, ¡°Xiaoxiao, I just came back to China and I want to have a reunion with everyone. Let¡¯s have dinner together tonight.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned and her eyes widened.
Just came back to China?
She suddenly remembered the message Yin Shaojie had received about fetching someone at the airport¡
Chapter 671 - Who’s That Girl? (1)
Chapter 671: Who¡¯s That Girl? (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth. Her voice sounded hard as she asked, ¡°Are you in Yin Shaojie¡¯s office right now?¡±
She deduced that Yin Shaojie might have left his phone in his office if he was at a meeting, and thus let this girl take the call.
If not¡
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes burned with rage.
If Yin Shaojie had given his phone to this girl voluntarily, he should await death!
The girl didn¡¯t answer, but instead said, ¡°Are youing?¡±
¡°You wait!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao hung up the phone after she spat these two words.
She didn¡¯t want to hear another word from this girl and felt as though her rage was about to burst out from her.
Yin Shaojie, that jerk!
Why were there always so many women by his side that tried toe up with every possible method to make her feel angry and jealous?
Mu Xiaoxiao felt suffocated.
She called Han Qiqing, for she remembered that Qiqing was a member of the Student Union as well and that she must surely be there if there was a meeting.
Sure enough, the call was picked up after it rang a few times.
In the Student Union building¡¯s meeting room.
Han Qiqing was listening to the meeting and yawning when her phone rang, causing her to jump.
She noticed the cold gaze that Yin Shaojie threw in her direction and she smiled apologetically. She took out her phone hurriedly and was about to hang up when she saw Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s number. She caught Yin Shaojie¡¯s eye and showed her screen to him before bending over to take the call.
Upon seeing that the call was from Mu Xiaoxiao, Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t prevent her from taking it but he continued the meeting.
¡°Hello, Xiaoxiao, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Han Qiqing asked, whispering.
Mu Xiaoxiao asked, ¡°Are you having a Student Union meeting right now?¡±
¡°Yeah, how did you know?¡± Han Qiqing was a little surprised. She guessed that Mu Xiaoxiao was looking for Yin Shaojie, and thus lifted her head to look at him.
Yin Shaojie felt her gaze and turned to nce at her.
Han Qiqing said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Are you waiting for Yin Shaojie? We¡¯re almost done with our meeting. You cane over to the Student Union building first.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was about to agree, but her legs wobbled when she tried to stand up.
She could still make it if she endured it but she suddenly felt her nose sting and she felt a little aggrieved. Thus, she sat down and decided not to move.
She asked Han Qiqing, ¡°There¡¯s a girl in Yin Shaojie¡¯s office and she even took his phone. Do you know who it is?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t deduce who the girl was, and thus thought it was a good idea to ask Han Qiqing directly. She should know who it was, right?
¡°Ah? A girl? What girl?¡± Han Qiqing was stunned and a little confused. She eximed, ¡°There¡¯s a girl in Yin Shaojie¡¯s office?¡±
Her volume this time was slightly louder, and the people at the table looked at her curiously.
There was a girl hidden in Young Master Jie¡¯s office?
Who could it be?
It couldn¡¯t be Mu Xiaoxiao, for Mu Xiaoxiao was the one who called her.
What was happening now? Was Mu Xiaoxiao trying to catch a cheater?
No one dared to gossip about President Yin¡¯s private life in front of him but this conversation was happening in front of their gazes.
Yin Shaojie shot Han Qiqing a warning gaze before knocking on the table. ¡°Is there anything else anyone would like to add to this meeting?¡±
The leaders of each department looked stunned.
Anything they would like to add to the meeting?
Wait, wait! Didn¡¯t they only go through half of the meeting¡¯s agenda? They haven¡¯t even finished discussing the previous topic! How did they suddenly arrive at this stage?
Chapter 672 - Who’s That Girl? (2)
Chapter 672: Who¡¯s That Girl? (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
However, no one dared to voice their concerns upon seeing the look on President Yin¡¯s face. They didn¡¯t even dare to exhale, and only waited for the king to issue his nextmand.
Yin Shaojie nodded. ¡°Since there is nothing else to add, this meeting is over.¡±
Everyone was speechless.
You¡¯re the President and the meeting ends when you decide it ends. We don¡¯t have any objections. We wouldn¡¯t dare to have any objections!
Thus, everyone tacitly packed up and left the meeting room hurriedly.
Han Qiqing was still holding onto her phone, stunned. She had forgotten to reply to Mu Xiaoxiao.
Yin Shaojie turned his chair around and held out his hand. With an expression of a master on his face, he said, ¡°Give me the phone.¡±
Han Qiqing still wanted to gossip with Mu Xiaoxiao about what happened but she took in the sight of his outstretched hand and the slightly angry face of Great Master Yin.
She weighed her options. Which was more important: gossip or her life?
She chose her life.
She passed her phone reluctantly to Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie held the phone between his fingers and ced it beside his ear, and was sted by Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s angry voice.
¡°I don¡¯t care if he did it deliberately or not. I called him, but it was a girl who picked up. How do you think I felt? I¡¯m so pissed! Qiqing, do you think I should punish him? For example, I can start a cold war with him for a few days and let him sleep on the sofa, or¡¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned and the vein in his temple jumped. ¡°I forbid that!¡± he spat.
On the other side of the phone, Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She knew instantly that it was him, and her voice became more intive as she asked, ¡°Yin Shaojie! Tell me who that girl is! Why did she take your phone? You¡¯d better give me a good exnation!¡±
¡°What girl?¡± Yin Shaojie asked. It seemed as though he didn¡¯t know what was going on either.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed coldly. ¡°What girl? The one who¡¯s in your office holding on to your phone and who helped you take a call from your fianc¨¦e! Her voice sounds so good and I bet she¡¯s also really pretty, huh?¡±
Yin Shaojie pushed his chair away and stood up. His frown deepened and he exined, ¡°I don¡¯t know any girl. I put my phone in the office to charge and my office was locked as well. There can¡¯t be anyone inside.¡±
¡°Hehe, so you¡¯re saying that I¡¯m lying to frame you? Or that the person who answered my call is a ghost? You have a ghost in your office? Mu Xiaoxiao said sarcastically.
Yin Shaojie pinched his brows together and swallowed his anger. He didn¡¯t want to fight with her.
The most important thing right now was to make sense of what was going on.
He said in a gentler tone, ¡°I didn¡¯t say that you were lying. Come over and we¡¯ll figure out what¡¯s going on together.¡±
In the ssroom, Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her aching legs and pouted intively, ¡°I¡¯m noting over.¡±
¡°Why?¡± Yin Shaojie asked as he walked over to his office and pushed open the door.
His gaze turned cold.
The door was unlocked.
He strode into the office. One look at his spacious office showed him the person who was sitting behind his desk.
¡°It¡¯s you?¡± He sounded displeased.
Mu Xiaoxiao heard his voice from the phone and guessed what was going on on his side.
It¡¯s you?
This meant that he was acquainted with this person!
Also, his first reaction hadn¡¯t been anger but surprise when he found out that someone had broken into his office and taken his phone?
A wave of fury rushed through Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s head and she hung up on him in anger.
Chapter 673 - Who’s That Girl? (3)

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Han Qiqing, who had been following Yin Shaojie, saw the person too. Her eyes widened and she eximed, ¡°Su Lin, its you?!¡±
Behind the office table sat a beautiful and charming girl. Her long curly hair looked as pretty as begonias and she looked exquisitely dressed as her oval face beamed.
¡°Hello, isn¡¯t it a surprise to see me?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked down and saw that he had been hung up on. He returned the phone to Han Qiqing and strode over to his table and took his phone.
He frowned as he looked at Su Lin. ¡°How did you get in?¡±
He clearly recalled having locked the door.
Su Lin shrugged. ¡°You didn¡¯t lock the door. I just walked in.¡±
Yin Shaojie was a hundred percent sure that he had locked the door.
Could it be that she had a copy of his office key?
Su Lin looked at the phone in his hand. Without waiting for his exnation, she volunteered, ¡°Xiaoxiao called just now. I thought that she might have been looking for you urgently, and so I took the call for you. However, it seemed like Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t recognize my voice and she seemed really angry, and hung up on me before I could finish speaking.¡±
¡°Xiaoxiao¡¯s temper seems to have gotten worse these few years while I was apart from her,¡± she said in a joking manner.
However, no oneughed with her.
Han Qiqing was a little displeased. ¡°Whatever it is, you can¡¯t just take someone¡¯s calls without permission!¡±
She was a little worried that Xiaoxiao would misunderstand Yin Shaojie.
She had even said that Yin Shaojie had hidden a girl in his office, and she knew that Xiaoxiao was angry from her voice.
Su Lin was apologetic. ¡°I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. I was happy when I saw it was Xiaoxiao, and I wanted to tell her that we haven¡¯t seen each other for a while. I wanted to talk to her for a bit and have dinner together tonight. Oh yeah, let¡¯s have a wee home dinner together tonight for me. Shaojie, what do you say?¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t answer, but turned around and walked over. He dialed Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s number as he walked.
In the ssroom.
Mu Xiaoxiao hung up the phone in anger, waiting for him to call back. Unexpectedly, not only did he not call back as soon as possible, he didn¡¯t even call her even after she waited for a few minutes.
Mu Xiaoxiao put her head on the table huffily.
Just then, her cell phone rang.
Mu Xiaoxiao jolted up instantly. She saw from the caller ID that it was Yin Shaojie.
Had he gotten his phone back?
Or¡ was it the girl who was calling?
She paused, but didn¡¯t pick it up immediately. Instead, she harrumphed and hung up on him deliberately.
Yin Shaojie looked at the rejected call and frowned. He thought of smacking her butt for not letting him exin and continuing to be angry at him.
He exercised patience and called once more.
It was only Mu Xiaoxiao who received such special treatment. If she were someone else, Yin Shaojie wouldn¡¯t have called back.
This time, the phone rang for a long while.
Upon seeing that he had called back in only a few seconds, she smiled.
However, she didn¡¯t pick it up immediately. cing the phone in front of her, she cupped her chin and looked at the name that was showing on the phone and listened to the connecting tone.
She waited for a long while before swiping her screen to pick up the call.
¡°Hello,¡± she said emotionlessly.
A low, maic voice rang out from the other side of the phone. ¡°The matter has been cleared up. Do you want to hear me out?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed and pouted. She still sounded a little intive as she answered, ¡°Yes.¡±
Yin Shaojie kept up his gentle tone and said, ¡°Do you want me to tell you over the phone or in person?¡±

Chapter 674: Who¡¯s That Girl? (4)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Tell me in person, of course!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao quickly replied.
Because she had wanted to see him quickly.
Yin Shaojie asked, ¡°Where are you now?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted, and showed no restraint as she ordered him, ¡°In the ssroom. I want you toe and carry me. I ran 800 meters today and my legs are jelly. I can¡¯t walk.¡±
¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go there now. Wait for me.¡± Hearing how coquettishly helpless she sounded, his stern expression finally showed signs of softening.
If she was willing to be coquettish with him, then it would mean that she had not misunderstood him.
¡°Be quick,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said.
Yin Shaojie hung up the phone, turned to look at Han Qiqing, and said, ¡°Wait here. I¡¯ll go pick her up.¡±
Han Qiqing looked perplexed. ¡°Pick her up?¡±
Wow. Was that even necessary?
It would take less than ten minutes to walk from the Year One¡¯s block to the Student Union building.
Wouldn¡¯t it be a waste of time for him to go back and forth like this?
Seeing how much he pampered Xiaoxiao, Han Qiqing felt her hair standing up in anger! Was there a limit to his pampering? Did he even care about how the single dogs felt?
However, it was apparent that Great Master Yin didn¡¯t need to care about how she felt as he had already left.
¡
Mu Xiaoxiaoid on the desk again as she yed games on her cell phone.
Upon hearing some footsteps, her ears twitched like a kitten¡¯s.
The little head looked up at the door.
Sure enough, the extraordinarily elegant figure of Yin Shaojie appeared.
The corner of Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mouth turned up, but upon remembering that she should still be angry with him, she forced herself to draw back the smile, making a serious face.
¡°What took you so long!¡± she deliberately grumbled to express her dissatisfaction with him.
Yin Shaojie went up to her, panting slightly. ¡°I ran here.¡±
Seeing the sweat on his forehead, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart softened.
¡°Who told you to run? Can¡¯t you walk? It¡¯s not that far. Why do you need to run? You deserve it!¡±
Yin Shaojie squatted down, supporting himself as he held the edge of the table. His eyes were level with hers as he said, ¡°You¡¯re not angry anymore?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao snorted and pouted. ¡°Who says that I¡¯m not angry anymore? You can exin to me now. Who was that girl? Why was she holding onto your cell phone? Is she your ex?¡±
Yin Shaojie said sinctly, ¡°My phone ran out of battery, so I put it in the office. The office was locked but I don¡¯t know how she was able to get in.¡±
Thinking back, he really ought to have the locks to the office changed.
Mu Xiaoxiao grudgingly epted his exnation, and she eased her expression.
But there was still something she didn¡¯t understand.
¡°From the way she talked, she seemed like she knew me. Who exactly is she?¡±
Yin Shaojie regarded her and said calmly, ¡°Su Lin.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly for a moment, then she almost stood up from her seat as she said, ¡°Su Lin? It was her?!¡±
Curses raced through her mind.
Yin Shaojie stood up and said, ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go back first. You can ask me anything you want to know along the way.¡±
¡°Humph! It¡¯s an interrogation!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao corrected him.
Yin Shaojieughed and went along with her, saying, ¡°Okay, okay, okay. It¡¯s an interrogation.¡±
Posing like a queen, Mu Xiaoxiao tilted up her chin and said, ¡°Then hurry up and carry me. My legs are jelly, and I can¡¯t walk.¡±
Actually, she was much better now, but she still insisted that he carry her, refusing to walk.
Yin Shaojie walked up beside her and squatted down, his back facing her.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled happily as sheid herself on his back and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Chapter 675 - Who’s That Girl? (5)
Chapter 675: Who¡¯s That Girl? (5)

Yin Shaojie carried her and walked out of the ssroom.
Mu Xiaoxiao remembered the text message and asked by his ear, ¡°Hey. Was she the one who sent the messagest night, the one about telling you to pick her up at the airport? When did you be so close with her?¡±
Why did it seem like there was so much jealousy in her tone?
Although the Su family wasn¡¯t one of the Big Four Families, it was still a famous family nheless. They were also very influential. It could be said that they were second only to the Big Four Families, but the Su family didn¡¯te from City A and had only moved here after some time.
Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao and the gang became acquainted with Su Lin only when they were in elementary school, so they weren¡¯t too close with each other.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Su Lin seemed ipatible from birth. When they were young, they were like sworn enemies. They would sh and quarrel almost every time they met.
However, they were still kids then. Quarreling among kids didn¡¯t seem like a big deal to the adults. Some of them had evenughed it off, saying that they would probably be friends when they grew up.
After going to the States for these past few years, Mu Xiaoxiao had almost forgotten that Su Lin even existed.
Even after her return to China, she had never once thought about her.
So when Su Lin suddenly appeared, and in such an unpleasant manner, her animosity toward Su Lin from when she was younger surfaced again.
In any case, she just didn¡¯t like her. She hated her!
Listening to her childlikeints, Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help but smirk and say deliberately, ¡°Since a particr someone went away for four years, leaving me in China without even being the least bit concerned about me, I had no choice but to go out with other girls.¡±
¡°Hey!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smacked his head irritatedly.
He clearly knew that Su Lin had been her enemy since they were young.
Yin Shaojie red at her and pretended to threaten her, ¡°Hit me again and I will drop you.¡±
¡°You dare?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao scoffed, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck as though she was going to strangle him.
Yin Shaojie sighed and said, ¡°You beat me every time you get angry. Su Lin was right. Your temper is getting worse.¡±
¡°She said this about me?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao huffed, ¡°Who¡¯s the one with the bad temper? I¡¯m not even close with her. On what basis could she say this about me? As if she knows me!¡±
Not everyone would get the same treatment from her.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at the back of his head. It was only because it was him that she would act so impudently. It was because this was how they had always acted around each other ever since they were kids. They didn¡¯t need to be put up a facade or to withhold their true feelings from each other.
She liked the way they were and she had no intention of changing it.
Even if she hit him it would only be an act, and she wouldn¡¯t really intend to hurt him.
This was how they had always gotten along with each other ever since they were kids. One minute, they would be quarreling and the next minute, they would make up with each other lovingly again.
Yin Shaojieughed and said, ¡°Indeed, she doesn¡¯t know you well. You don¡¯t have a huge temper. You¡¯re barbaric.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was still happy listening to him up until thest part. Her arms tightened around him. ¡°What did you say? Yin Shaojie, I beg your pardon!¡±
¡°Let me finish. Barbaric means to have a wild personality, and it can be pretty cute,¡± Yin Shaojie quickly exined.
It was still eptable, so Mu Xiaoxiao let him off.
¡°At least you¡¯re not stupid.¡±
The girl had beenpletely oblivious to how he had just escaped her questioning about the earlier matter.
It was only a short distance to begin with.
Although Yin Shaojie was carrying Mu Xiaoxiao, Yin Shaojie was fleet-footed like usual, as though there was only a feather on his back.

When they reached the Student Union building, Han Qiqing was waiting on the terrace.
She saw them from afar and waved to them.
Yin Shaojie carried Mu Xiaoxiao into the lounge area on the first floor. Just when he put her down on the sofa, Han Qiqing came rushing in.
¡°Xiaoxiao, what¡¯s the matter? Did you injure your leg?¡± Han Qiqing ran up to her and asked worriedly.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s expression was awkward. If she were to admit that she didn¡¯t want to walk and made Yin Shaojie carry her, would she be looked down on?
She pondered for a moment and decided not to tell Han Qiqing the truth.
However, Yin Shaojie, beside her, said, ¡°She ran 800 meters and her legs were tired so she didn¡¯t want to walk.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She red at him gloomily. Why did he have to say it!
Han Qiqing faintly rolled her eyes at Mu Xiaoxiao, and suddenly, she gave her a thumbs up. ¡°Great Mistress Mu, you¡¯re good!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. ¡°My legs were really tired, and I couldn¡¯t walk.¡±
¡°Okay, okay. Please stop doing this lovey-dovey stuff already!¡±
Couldn¡¯t she show some consideration for the single dogs?
Han Qiqing ruminated pitiably. God knows when she would be able to have Lu Yichen reciprocate her feelings for him. Seeing these two lovey-dovey all the time only made her envious!
Boohoo, why was her life so hard!
Su Lin had also came down and was standing at the door. Listening to their conversations, her eyes seemed to hide some emotions.
¡°Xiaoxiao.¡± She smiled as she walked in.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked in the direction of her voice and saw her. Su Lin was also very pretty when she was young. Now that her facial features had been properly developed, in addition to her fine makeup, she was more attractive. She was a beauty.
¡°You are?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao clearly knew that she was Su Lin, but she pretended not to know.
Inwardly, she pulled a face and snorted.
I¡¯ll piss you off!
Su Lin froze for a moment in her expression. But she still did not reveal any anger as sheughed and said, ¡°Xiaoxiao, are you doing this on purpose? I don¡¯t think I have changed much. Even if you can¡¯t recognize me from my voice, how could you not recognize me after seeing me? Besides, Shaojie should have already mentioned me on your way here, right? Haha, you still enjoy teasing people like when you were young!¡±
Hearing her say the name ¡°Shaojie¡±, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s brows wrinkled.
She felt a great urge to forbid her from addressing Yin Shaojie like that, but Mu Xiaoxiao also knew that it would make her appear deliberately provocative.
Mu Xiaoxiao gave an innocent expression as she shook her head and said, ¡°No. When Jie carried me here we were talking about our own things. We didn¡¯t talk about anyone else. So, who are you?¡±
Su Lin¡¯s mouth seemed to twitch a little, but she still kept her smile and said, ¡°It¡¯s me, Su Lin.¡±
¡°Su Lin?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao tilted her head to the side as though she was seriously trying to recall. She batted her eyes, stared at the ceiling, and then turning toward Yin Shaojie, she asked, ¡°Who¡¯s Su Lin?¡±
Su Lin¡¯s smile finally cracked, and she couldn¡¯t keep up the gentle poise anymore. ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao! You dare say that you don¡¯t remember me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao gave a perplexed look, her hands spread out, saying, ¡°Do I need to remember you? It¡¯s not like you are some super hot dude, right? Why should I remember you? I¡¯m no lesbian.¡±
Han Qiqing, who was enjoying the show, puffed out augh.
It seemed that even after so many years, Su Lin was still no match for Xiaoxiao!

Su Lin¡¯s face turned green and her hands were clenched into fists. ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, you¡ª¡±
Seeing that she had annoyed her enough, Mu Xiaoxiaoughed and said, ¡°Okay, I was only joking with you. Not seeing you for so many years, you haven¡¯t changed. You still can¡¯t take a joke.¡±
Su Lin¡¯s face darkened, her mouth twitching. But in order not to be pissed off by Xiaoxiao, she contained her anger, and forced herself to smile again.
¡°I knew it. How could you have forgotten me, Xiaoxiao? You¡¯re really mischievous!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed sarcastically to herself. Just then, her stomach felt hungry.
Maybe it was because she had ran earlier that she had gotten hungry so early.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes were crafty as she stood up and said, ¡°Aren¡¯t we going to have a weing meal for you? Let¡¯s go eat. I¡¯m hungry too. It¡¯ll be my treat today!¡±
Han Qiqing didn¡¯t know what Mu Xiaoxiao was thinking as she stared at her curiously.
Xiaoxiao actually took the initiative to ask Su Lin out to a weing meal?
Was the sun rising from the west today?
Although she said it was a weing meal for Su Lin, Mu Xiaoxiao turned to Han Qiqing instead and said excitedly, ¡°Qiqing, what do you think about eating Hunan cuisine today? I suddenly have a craving for spicy food!¡±
Han Qiqing nodded. ¡°Okay, I haven¡¯t had spicy food for quite a while.¡±
Su Lin was speechless.
Suddenly, a thought seemed to hit Mu Xiaoxiao. She smiled at Su Lin and said, ¡°If I haven¡¯t remembered wrong, you like spicy food, right?¡±
Su Lin twitched at her mouth. ¡°You remembered it wrong. I don¡¯t like spicy food¡¡±
She wondered if Mu Xiaoxiao was doing this on purpose.
Actually, Su Lin was only over-thinking it. Mu Xiaoxiao had no desire to remember her preferences. It was only because she wanted to eat spicy food that she said that.
Mu Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment and said, ¡°How about seafood then?¡±
Thinking about the spicy crayfish and fried crab, she gulped down her saliva.
Han Qiqing nodded. ¡°Okay. Let¡¯s go to where we went thest time. That restaurant¡¯s Lobster Thermidor is pretty good.¡±
Su Lin was speechless.
She tried to sustain her smile as she said, ¡°Have you forgotten? I¡¯m allergic to seafood¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing looked at her at the same time as though they were annoyed by her.
¡°Why are you so picky¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, shaking her head helplessly. ¡°Forget it, then let¡¯s go to the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant to eat then. Are you okay with that?¡±
Su Lin said nothing this time, but she nodded in agreement.
And since the start, Yin Shaojie had been standing by the side, saying nothing. He had only been containing his amusement in the corner of his mouth as though he had paid no attention to the discussion.
Mu Xiaoxiao stretched and looked around, only realizing then that there seemed to be some people missing.
She asked Han Qiqing, ¡°Where¡¯s Shijun? Isn¡¯t he also in the Student Union? Didn¡¯t you attend the meeting with you?¡±
Han Qiqing waved her hand and said, ¡°That guy came up with excuses at the mention of the meeting. I don¡¯t know where he went.¡±
¡°Call him then and see if he wants to have a meal together.¡±
Just when Han Qiqing took out her cell phone to make the phone call, she heard Song Shijun¡¯s voiceing from outside.
¡°There¡¯s something I need to tell you! Big news!¡± Song Shijun rushed in,ughing mischievously at Han Qiqing and Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°Guess who came back?¡±
Han Qiqing and Mu Xiaoxiao passed understanding nces at each other and they said in unison, ¡°I don¡¯t want to know!¡±
Song Shijun was dejected. ¡°You girls don¡¯t want to know who came back?¡±
Chapter 678 - The Wife Likes Something More Intense (2)
Chapter 678: The Wife Likes Something More Intense (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Both Han Qiqing and Mu Xiaoxiao paused, smiled and asked deliberately, ¡°Who came back?¡±
Song Shijun announced, ¡°Su Lin hase back to China! I just saw it on Weibo. Someone sent a photo of hering to school. She is the one who got out of the car. I didn¡¯t expect her to return home suddenly. Shaojie, did shee to find you?¡±
He directed thest sentence at Yin Shaojie with a meaningful nce.
Yin Shaojie returned a stern re back at him.
Knowing what that meant, Song Shijun stopped talking and continued to look at Han Qiqing and Mu Xiaoxiao.
Then¡ he saw them waist bent inughter.
What was the meaning of that?
Song Shijun looked at them uprehendingly. ¡°Su Lin is back, Why are you so happy?¡±
This wasn¡¯t normal!
This didn¡¯t make sense!
From what he remembered, weren¡¯t Xiaoxiao and Su Lin arch enemies? Why were they so happy upon hearing of Su Lin¡¯s return?
Han Qiqing walked over to him, one hand on her chest as sheughed. She patted his shoulder and pointed. ¡°First, take a look. Who is that?¡±
Song Shijun only realized then that there was someone else in the room.
Uh¡ wasn¡¯t that Su Lin!
He finally understood why these two girls wereughing like this. It turned out that he was the blind one who made a fool out of himself.
Su Lin was grim-faced.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed until she cried tears. Then sheughed at Song Shijun, ¡°Even if her presence is hardly felt here, you don¡¯t have to bully her like this! She has been so obviously standing here. Are you blind? Shijun, I suggest you go to see the ophthalmologist.¡±
Su Lin was speechless.
Her face darkened again.
Su Lin was always unting herself as a head-turner. No matter where she was, she would always be the first thing that people would notice. However, Song Shijun¡¯s blindness was practically a p to her face.
Of course she would be upset.
Extremely upset!
Song Shijun smiled awkwardly, put his hands together in a praying gesture as he said to Su Lin, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I was excited just now and didn¡¯t see you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao hadughed her fill, so she said, ¡°Okay, everyone¡¯s here. Let¡¯s go eat.¡±
She waved at Yin Shaojie. Yin Shaojie then extended his arm to let her hug it.
¡°Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s go,¡± she said as she happily hooked her arms around Yin Shaojie and left the room together.
Han Qiqing followed beside her and teased her, ¡°What? Your legs aren¡¯t jelly anymore? You don¡¯t want Great Master Yin to carry you anymore?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao swung her arm at Han Qiqing, but Han Qiqing avoided it.
¡°I want to walk now. What? Can¡¯t I walk?¡±
¡°Sure, sure, sure,¡± Han Qiqing said in a deliberatelymenting manner, ¡°It¡¯s good having someone to pamper you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pointed to Song Shijun and said to her, ¡°If you are envious, let Shijun carry you then.¡±
Before Han Qiqing could even say anything, Song Shijun jumped to the side and said derisively, ¡°I¡¯m not gonna carry her. She¡¯s so heavy!¡±
¡°Who are you talking about!¡± Han Qiqing roared as she stood with arms akimbo.
Song Shijun fled while Han Qiqing chased after him and they ran circles around Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao pinched her eyebrows and said gloomily, ¡°Stop, stop, stop. Stop going round and round. You¡¯re making me dizzy.¡±
Song Shijun sensed the change in Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression and couldn¡¯t help but slow down.
Then, Han Qiqing caught him.
¡°Who did you say was heavy? Who were you talking about? Say that again.¡±
Han Qiqing beat and shook him, forcing him to spit it out.

Song Shijun quickly fawned over her, saying, ¡°My deardy, I was wrong, okay? You are very light. You are the lightest. You¡¯re just like a feather! Your weight is negligible!¡±
Han Qiqing was satisfied so she let him go.
Su Lin followed behind them and watched them having fun and getting along with each other.
As they were walking along the hallway, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly said, ¡°Why don¡¯t we have apetition?¡±
Song Shijun, who was always fun-loving, became interested at the idea, ¡°Whatpetition?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed mischievously and said, ¡°Jie carries me, and you carry Qiqing. We will run to the parking lot. Whoever loses will be treating. How about that?¡±
Song Shijun grumbled, ¡°This isn¡¯t fair! Shaojie is such a fast runner, and Qiqing is so heavy. Won¡¯t I be bound to lose?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. ¡°Why don¡¯t you carry me then?¡±
¡°This is even worse!¡± He didn¡¯t want to make Great Master Yin jealous and ask for a beating.
Mu Xiaoxiao shot a nce and goaded him, ¡°Song Shijun, we haven¡¯t even started and you already decided that you will lose? You¡¯re really useless! Are you even a man?¡±
¡°Okay okay okay. We¡¯ll y.¡± Song Shijun nodded. He agreed because of his dignity as a man was at stake, and also because it was a game that at worst, he would just have to treat them.
Mu Xiaoxiao tugged at Yin Shaojie. ¡°Carry me quickly!¡±
Yin Shaojie squatted down before her to let her climb up on his back.
He stood up with ease, carrying her on his back.
Mu Xiaoxiao leaned herself over by his ear and whispered something to him.
Han Qiqing appeared reluctant as she climbed onto Song Shijun¡¯s back. She red at him and said, ¡°Don¡¯t run too fast. If I fall I will kill you.¡±
For some reason, Song Shijun didn¡¯t reply to her. Perhaps he pretended not to hear, or that he deliberately refused to reply her.
He turned to look at Su Lin, who was standing behind them, and said, ¡°Su Lin, you be the one to shout when to start.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao also smiled at her and said, ¡°We¡¯ll be going ahead. You can run behind us.¡±
Su Lin smiled awkwardly and said, ¡°Nah, I¡¯ll walk.¡±
She didn¡¯t want to run. Wouldn¡¯t she look stupid running behind them?
¡°You call out when to start then.¡±
The two pairs stood in a line.
Su Lin¡¯s eyes unconsciously rested on Yin Shaojie¡¯s elegant face. He didn¡¯t usually do such childish things, but he didn¡¯t seem to have any objections to it and looked perfectly happy to go along with them.
She snapped out of it, and shouted to start.
The two pairs broke into a run.
Without having to watch, Su Lin knew that Yin Shaojie would definitely win. He was good at whatever he did and never once did he lose. He was strong-minded. He wouldn¡¯t allow himself to lose in everything that he did.
However, what she would never have expected was that Song Shijun had outpaced Yin Shaojie, and at a fast speed. The distance between them gradually becamerger.
Su Lin was startled, ¡°How could it be?¡±
How could Yin Shaojie lose?
What was even surprising to her was that Yin Shaojie, who was alwayspetitive, didn¡¯t seem to care at all. He was even chatting happily with Mu Xiaoxiao as they gradually slowed down to a walk.
Without anyone walking with them, it seemed like they were strolling on a date.
He carried her, and she wrapped her arms around his neck. They look happy talking about something.
The picture of them was beautiful and romantic in every way.
Watching how intimate they were, Su Lin was upset.
¡
When the three finally reached the parking lot, Song Shijun and Han Qiqing were waiting there.
Chapter 680 - The Wife Likes Something More Intense (4)

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Song Shijun immediately expressed his unhappiness. ¡°Xiaoxiao, were you toying with me? Didn¡¯t you say it was apetition? Why did you let me win?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao said innocently, ¡°Who let you win? I just can¡¯t bear to see Jie tiring himself out.¡±
She had already said that she would treat, so she never wanted to win in the first ce.
Song Shijun had been resting for a while but he was still panting. And his back was also sweaty. Seeing how rxed Yin Shaojie looked, he thought he had been pranked.
Mu Xiaoxiao waved her hand and said, ¡°Okay, let¡¯s get in the car. I¡¯m starving. Let¡¯s go eat!¡±
When she turned back, preparing to go to Yin Shaojie¡¯s car, she saw that Su Lin was already standing at the front passenger seat¡¯s door, smiling as she waited for Yin Shaojie toe.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes narrowed. How did Su Lin know that that was Yin Shaojie¡¯s car?
And what was the meaning of her waltzing up so naturally to the front passenger seat?
Su Lin was behaving too matter-of-factly. If Mu Xiaoxiao went over and tell her to step aside, it would seem very ungraceful of her.
Mu Xiaoxiao stood at the same spot as she red at Yin Shaojie.
The thought of her sitting in the back seat while watching Su Lin and Yin Shaojie sitting in front of her had an unpleasant effect on her.
Holding Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand, Yin Shaojie looked in the direction of her gaze and also noticed where Su Lin was standing.
His eyes gleamed, and suddenly he held her hand as he turned them around.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him uprehendingly.
Just when Song Shijun was about to get in the car, Yin Shaojie pulled him back.
¡°Haven¡¯t you always wanted to drive my car? I¡¯m letting you drive. Give me your keys.¡±
Song Shijun was puzzled. Before he could process what was happening, Yin Shaojie had already taken the key from his hand.
Yin Shaojie tossed his car key to him. Song Shijun then recovered his senses and was just barely able to catch it.
¡°What the heck?¡± he murmured.
Yin Shaojie had already taken Mu Xiaoxiao into the car, went around to the driver¡¯s seat and got in the car.
Without choice, Song Shijun shook the key in his hand as he headed toward the cool looking Lamborghini.
The limited edition Lamborghini K7, although not thetest model, had been very popr for some time and many people couldn¡¯t even get the chance to buy it.
Song Shijun whistled happily as he admired the cool, streamlined car.
Han Qiqing was much smarter than him. Seeing what was happening, she immediately understood what was going on. She pondered for a moment, and then she went to Yin Shaojie¡¯s car.
She was also graceful, not wishing topete with Su Lin to ride shotgun, as she took the back seat.
And she said, ¡°Su Lin, get in the car.¡±
Looking up at Song Shijun standing outside, her attitude changed as she said in a louder voice, ¡°Song Shijun! What are you doing? Get in the car!¡±
¡°Okay!¡± Song Shijun was in a good mood and didn¡¯t argue with her. The remote controlled door opened automatically and he got in the car.
Su Lin cast a nce at the other car before she getting in the car with an emotionless expression.
Yin Shaojie had already started the car.
Song Shijun was still taking his sweet time. Only after Han Qiqing rushed him did he hurry to start the car.
However, when they had arrived at Imperial Cuisine Restaurant, Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie were nowhere to be found.
When the three of them walked in, the manager greeted them and said, ¡°Miss Han, Young Master Song, Miss Su. Young Master Yin has already reserved a room. Pleasee this way.¡±
Song Shijun asked, ¡°They¡¯re here already?¡±
The manager replied, ¡°No, Young Master Yin made a phone call to reserve a room. He said that he will be hereter and that you should order the dishes first.¡±

Song Shijun looked to Han Qiqing and said, ¡°What the hell are they doing?¡±
Han Qiqing shrugged her shoulders, casting a nce at Su Lin as she deliberately scoffed, ¡°Who knows? Maybe they went to do lovey-dovey stuff again. Don¡¯t worry about them. Let¡¯s order the dishes first.¡±
Then, the three followed the manager to the reserved room.
Meanwhile.
After hanging up the call, Yin Shaojie threw his cell phone into the storagepartment. ncing outside, he turned the car into an alley.
Mu Xiaoxiao asked quizzically, ¡°Why do you have to wait a while before heading there? Isn¡¯t the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant just up ahead¡ Hey!¡±
Before she could finish, the car had just stopped by the side. Yin Shaojie turned around and in a swift motion, pinched her chin and pressed his sexy lips on hers.
Mu Xiaoxiao was caught up in the pleasure of the kiss, and she didn¡¯t care about her questions anymore.
Suddenly, a car suddenly drove past them.
It startled her. She was reminded that they were still in public, so she quickly pushed him away.
However, Yin Shaojie grabbed her little hand, pulled it back and looped her arm around him, pressing their chests against each other.
There wasn¡¯t a lot of space in the car, so Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯tfortable with how she had to twist her head.
After kissing for a while, she beat him with her small fist in protest.
Yin Shaojie finally let go of her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was panting slightly. Her face was very soft, and it looked especially delicious.
Yin Shaojie stroked her cheek with his fingers, enjoying the exquisite sensation.
¡°What are you doing?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked with a reddish face.
Did he park the car here out of nowhere just to kiss her?
Was he feeling that eager?
Though looking perplexed as if she just couldn¡¯t understand him, Mu Xiaoxiao was still smiling through her eyes.
The corner of Yin Shaojie¡¯s mouth turned up in a smile. And heughed flippantly and said, ¡°I¡¯mforting my wife. How is it? Do you feel better now?¡±
¡°I wasn¡¯t in a bad mood.¡±
¡°Oh, you don¡¯t need me tofort you anymore? Okay then, let¡¯s go eat.¡±
¡°Hey!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pressed her hand above his hand on the steering wheel.
The thought of going back to see Su Lin upset her.
Although she was the one who had proposed to treat Su Lin to the weing meal, she hadn¡¯t had much consideration at that time since she was only looking for opportunities to get back at Su Lin.
Yin Shaojie turned his head to the side, his eyes curved, and he said with a sinister smile, ¡°What now? Does my dear wife need me tofort her?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded.
If someone wanted tofort her, of course she should assent to it.
Yin Shaojie kept one hand on the steering wheel as he stared at her and asked, ¡°How does my dear wife want me tofort her?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao wrinkled her nose at him, saying, ¡°You should be the one thinking. Why do I need to think about this?¡±
He suddenly moved his face up in front of hers. Then he lightly pecked her on her lips.
Mu Xiaoxiao raised her brows, and said, dissatisfied, ¡°That¡¯s it?¡±
That wasforting?
That was too insincere!
The lush line of Yin Shaojie¡¯s lips curved in a smile, his eyes containing his amusement as heughed, ¡°It seems that my dear wife doesn¡¯t like the light innocent way. Do you perhaps want something more¡ intense?
¡°I didn¡¯t¡ hey! What are you doing!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was still trying to retort him. However, he reached out his hand, looped her waist, and then pulled her toward him.
She was then sitting on his thighs.

Mu Xiaoxiao instinctively rose, but her head bumped against the roof of the car.
¡°Ow¡ it hurts!¡±
Her little face puckered up like a small bao.
Yin Shaojie felt sorry for her, his warm hand gently rubbing rubbing the part where she got hurt.
¡°You should be careful.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. ¡°This car is too small!¡±
Wasn¡¯t he to me?
Why did he have to suddenly pull her over to him?
There wasn¡¯t much space in the car in the first ce. When they sat together on the same seat, it became even more cramped.
She fidgeted about, wanting to get back to the passenger seat.
She had probably guessed what he was trying to do, but they were in public! Even if they were in an alley, there could still be people passing by anytime, right?
What would happen if someone caught them doing these things in the car?
Perhaps it was because of his good massage technique, or maybe it was because of the warmth of his hand that somehow the pain she had felt on her head quickly dissipated.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s hand on her head slowly slid down to the back of her head. Clutching her head, he pressed her toward his lips.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s moist eyes like a deer¡¯s watched his alluring thin lips, her mind taken over by the soft sensation and the burst of heat whenever their lips touched.
Her heart pounded wildly and she could only feel the warmth in her chest.
Finally, she couldn¡¯t stand anymore of his bewitching, so she went along with his flow. Putting her arms around his neck, their lips touched and pressed tightly against each other.
¡
In the room.
Han Qiqing had already ordered the dishes and they would likely be served soon.
Finally, Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie arrived.
When Han Qiqing saw theming in, she quickly asked, ¡°Where have you two been? What took you so long?¡±
Song Shijun watched them gossip.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t even try to conceal the amusement showing in his eyes as he took Mu Xiaoxiao to the side, saying, ¡°Nowhere.¡±
He wanted to pull out the chair for Mu Xiaoxiao, he didn¡¯t expect that Mu Xiaoxiao would choose to sit next to Su Lin instead. He pulled out a chair for himself and sat down.
¡°Nowhere, really?¡±
Han Qiqing smiled suggestively and stared at Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hair pensively.
She clearly remembered that Xiaoxiao had been wearing a high ponytail before, but her current ponytail was lowered quite a bit.
Upon exchanging nces with Han Qiqing, Song Shijun then teased Mu Xiaoxiao, saying, ¡°Xiaoxiao, did Shaojie take you out to eat behind our backs? Look at your mouth. It¡¯s all red. You must have eaten something¡ hot, huh?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao felt herself being caught red-handed, so she quickly picked up the cup of tea to drink, trying to hide her little mouth as she shot a re at Yin Shaojie.
It was all because of this beast!
Why did he have to be so intense, kissing and biting her? Now her lips were all red. Anyone could have guessed what they had been doing.
Despite being caught red-handed, Mu Xiaoxiao still yed dumb and quickly changed the subject.
¡°What dishes have you ordered? Did you order any dishes that I like to eat?¡±
Han Qiqing held her chin as she joked, ¡°Haven¡¯t you already eaten your favorite dish?¡±

Han Qiqing held her chin as she joked, ¡°Haven¡¯t you already eaten your favorite dish?¡±
¡°Hey!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao red at her with a red face. How could she not understand what she was alluding to?
Yin Shaojie also broke out inughter.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned her re toward him and said, ¡°Noughing!¡±
The damned culprit. How dare heugh?
If it wasn¡¯t for him pulling her into a make out session, Han Qiqing wouldn¡¯t be teasing her like this.
Yin Shaojie rested his hand casually on the back of her chair and smiled flippantly as he said, ¡°She¡¯s right.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pushed him. ¡°Enough already!¡±
Yin Shaojie gestured to Song Shijun. Then Song Shijun handed him the menu.
He took a look at it first. Then, he passed it to Mu Xiaoxiao to have a look, saying, ¡°See what else you would like to eat.¡±
She had already told the manager what dishes she wanted to eat when they booked the reservation.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t take the menu but only looked at it as he held it.
Han Qiqingughed and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Xiaoxiao. How can we not remember your preferences? We ordered those dishes for you already.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was delighted. Then she was reminded of Su Lin and said, ¡°This is our weing meal for Su Lin. You should ask her what she likes to eat.¡±
Han Qiqing shrugged her shoulders and said, ¡°She said she¡¯s fine with the order.¡±
Song Shijun said, ¡°Su Lin said that she doesn¡¯t eat spicy food, so most of the dishes aren¡¯t spicy.¡±
Su Lin sat at one side, keeping her elegant smile appropriate of a wealthy missy.
As she watched them chatting andughing together, she felt like an outsider who didn¡¯t fit in.
Then, the door opened and a waiter served the dishes.
Casting a furtive nce at Su Lin, Mu Xiaoxiao coughed and said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°I want to eat the prawn.¡±
The te of prawns just happened to be ced in front of Han Qiqing, so Han Qiqing thoughtfully picked up a big prawn to give her.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t receive it, but she gave her a wink instead.
Han Qiqing didn¡¯t understand her.
Yin Shaojie smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯ll do it.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Han Qiqing then put the prawn into her own bowl and watched them curiously.
Then, she saw Yin Shaojie put a prawn into his bowl and peeled the shell before putting the prawn into Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s bowl.
He said, ¡°Dig in.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t satisfied with that. She didn¡¯t move her hands as she opened her mouth and said, ¡°Ah.¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled helplessly, picked up the prawn again, and put it in her mouth.
Mu Xiaoxiao was finally satisfied as she chewed happily.
Han Qiqing was dumbfounded, and she exchanged nces with Song Shijun.
Song Shijun was quicker to grasp the situation as he immediately understood that it was Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s deliberate attempt. Then he returned a meaningful nce to Han Qiqing that they should just sit back and enjoy the show.
Meanwhile, Su Lin tensed her hand that was holding the chopsticks.
She turned her eyes away and stopped looking at Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie.
However, her movements when she picked up the dishes were very sluggish, and her expression was very stiff as if she was eating wax.
Then, Mu Xiaoxiao smiled at her and asked, ¡°Su Lin, are the dishes here not to your liking?
Su Lin eyes started. She drew a deep breath, forced a smile, and said, ¡°No, maybe it¡¯s because I just came back to China, and I¡¯m still adjusting to the timezone. I don¡¯t really feel like eating.¡±
¡°That¡¯s a real pity,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said sympathetically.
But she was acting like a queen instead. Whenever she wanted to eat something, she would tell Yin Shaojie and he would feed it to her.

Su Lin couldn¡¯t stand watching them anymore and the look on her face hardened as she mmed down her chopsticks.
She bent down her head, pulled out her cell phone, and pretended to take a call.
Then she smiled and said to everyone, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Something came up at home. I have to head back.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her surprised and said, ¡°So early? We just started eating. Why don¡¯t you finish the meal before you go?¡±
¡°No thanks.¡± Su Lin shook her head and said apologetically, ¡°I really have to go back now. Next time then. It¡¯ll be my treat next time.¡±
If she continued to eat, she might just get indigestion.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t make her stay, so she waved goodbye.
Su Lin carried her bag as she walked out, her eyes ncing at Yin Shaojie.
When she went to the door, she stopped, looked back at Yin Shaojie, and said to him with a slightly intive manner, ¡°Shaojie, can you take me home?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused in her chewing, shot a nce at Yin Shaojie, and said weirdly, ¡°Yeah, since you¡¯re so close to her, why don¡¯t you take her home, lest she be stuck here.¡±
This time, she didn¡¯t need Yin Shaojie to pick the food for her. She picked up the chopsticks in a very calm manner as if the matter wasn¡¯t any of her concern, and she didn¡¯t spare Su Lin a look.
Han Qiqing had a faint smile as she continued enjoying the show, waiting to hear Yin Shaojie¡¯s answer.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s face leaned closer toward Mu Xiaoxiao, and he said, ¡°Do you really want me to take her home?¡±
His expression seemed to say that if she really wanted it, then he would have no choice but to obey her.
Mu Xiaoxiao shot him a furious re.
You dare!
The corner of Yin Shaojie¡¯s mouth turned up in a smile, and he looked up at Song Shijun, saying, ¡°You take her home then. I haven¡¯t eaten anything. I¡¯m starving.¡±
Because he had been serving the Great Mistress Mu just now, he had not even had a single bite
Song Shijun reluctantly put down the chopsticks, staring at the abalone in the middle of the table as though he was afraid someone might take it.
Su Lin stamped her feet angrily. ¡°No need! I¡¯ll call for a cab myself!¡±
Then she left the room.
Bang! The door was mmed shut.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing looked at each other, and both of them broke out intoughter at the same time, like two kids who had just seeded in a prank.
Yin Shaojie wiped his hands with a hot towel, and he shook his head at them as he picked up the chopsticks to start eating.
Song Shijun sat down happily and quickly went for the abalone that he had targeted.
However, another pair of chopsticks was extended over his and mped down on his chopsticks.
He looked up and saw the smug little face of Mu Xiaoxiao. She said, ¡°I saw it first!¡±
¡°I was the one who saw it first! I saw it the moment it was served!¡±
Then, the two fought with their chopsticks.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t step in to help and simply watched their childish behavior.
Finally, Mu Xiaoxiao magnanimously gave him the big piece and went for the smaller piece of abalone.
With the abalone in his mouth, Song Shijun looked to Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, ¡°Xiaoxiao, after all these years, why are you still enemies with Su Lin?¡±
¡°Why shouldn¡¯t I be enemies with her?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao had abalone sauce all over her mouth.
Han Qiqing also curiously asked, ¡°Xiaoxiao, I¡¯ve always found it strange, You two seem to have been like this ever since you were young. Did something happen between the two of you?¡±
She knew that Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t the kind of person who would hate someone for no valid reason. Su Lin must have done something to her.

Mu Xiaoxiao said innocently, ¡°She was the one who started treating me with hostility!¡±
Desire for gossip was written all over Song Shijun¡¯s face as he hurried to ask, ¡°How was she hostile toward you? Tell us!¡±
When Mu Xiaoxiao finished the abalone, Yin Shaojie handed her a tissue.
She wiped her mouth clean and recalled what happened when she was younger. Then she said angrily, ¡°It was when she was in the fifth year of elementary school, she locked me in the toilet, so I was trapped there for one period of ss until someone let me out at the end of the ss.
At that time, when she was trapped for close to an hour, she was horrified. She cried out and couldn¡¯t get any response. She could still feel the trauma from then.
Astonished, Han Qiqing said, ¡°I think I remember this, but.. didn¡¯t she say that it wasn¡¯t her who did it?¡±
¡°Humph. She said she wasn¡¯t the one and you believe her?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s expression was a little cold. ¡°I suspected her from the beginning and I heard her bragging about it to otherster on.¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned as he looked at her and asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged her shoulders and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t I get back at her afterward? After having my revenge there¡¯s nothing left to say.¡±
Han Qiqing remembered something, and then she mmed the tableughed out loud, ¡°I remember! You put a cockroach in her cake. And she ate the cake unknowingly, only to see half of the dead cockroach. And she really had a good puke afterward!¡±
Recalling the how miserable Su Lin was, sheughed until she cried.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°In any case, she had never been nice to me before. Why should I treat her kindly?¡±
In any case, she lived by the principle: To those who treat her kindly, she would treat kindly, and to those who cross her, she would pay them back doubly!
Han Qiqing gave an understanding nod and said, ¡°It¡¯s not your fault for being rude to her. Some of the things she says are obviously aimed at you.¡±
Song Shijun tut-tutted and said, ¡°I thought you two simply found each other irritating and bicker because of it.¡±
¡°Nothing happens without a reason,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said logically. Suddenly, she remembered something and asked them, ¡°Oh yeah, Su Lin, why did shee back now? Was she also studying abroad?¡±
Han Qiqing replied, ¡°No, she studies in Shangde too, but for some reason she went overseas without notifying anyone.¡±
¡°She¡¯s in Shangde too¡ Eh? Then which ss is she in?!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked as she was reminded of how she shared the same ss with Su Lin in elementary school. Wouldn¡¯t that mean that¡ Su Lin was also in Year One¡¯s ss S?
However, she heard Han Qiqing say, ¡°She¡¯s in Year Two ss S.¡±
¡°Why is she in second year? Isn¡¯t she in the same grade as me?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao eximed.
Han Qiqing nced at Yin Shaojie before saying, ¡°Because she wanted to be in the same ss as a certain someone. She pestered the principal to help her change to Year Two¡¯s ss S and even promised that she would definitely keep up with the grades. Little did she know¡ heheh.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao said gloomily, ¡°You¡¯re in year two. She¡¯s in year two. You¡¯re all in Year Two, I¡¯m the only one in year one. This isn¡¯t fair! I want to skip a year too!¡±
Yin Shaojie stared at her, not giving face as he said, ¡°You want to skip a year? With your grades? Try passing the exams first.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pressed her lips together and said, ¡°I haven¡¯t been studying the curriculum in China for four years. It¡¯s normal not to get a good grade!¡±

It wasn¡¯t like she learned ssical Chinese poetry or Literary Chinese in the States. Although she had also learned mathematics in the States, the learning progression was slower in the States, unlike in China where they had already went into more advanced topics.
Any random year one student from the States wouldn¡¯t have done any better than her here!
Han Qiqing said to her sympathetically, ¡°The school is very strict now, and they won¡¯t let you jump a year so easily. You should just stay in Year One.¡±
This made Mu Xiaoxiao even gloomier!
After dinner, the four separated and went home.
In the car, Yin Shaojie looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, ¡°Did Su Lin give you trouble afterward?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed, ¡°Please, am I that stupid? Why would I allow her to give me trouble knowing clearly that she doesn¡¯t like me?¡±
In retrospect, what happened when they were younger was a trivial matter.
She wondered what kind of person Su Lin had be.
¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me about the enmity between you two?¡± Yin Shaojie said discontentedly.
¡°It¡¯s not an enmity, is it? Who hasn¡¯t had people they didn¡¯t like when they are younger? Actually, if she started treating me right I wouldn¡¯t bump heads with her. But it was only when she treated me with hostility and made causticments at me that I would pay it back to her.
At the thought of this, Mu Xiaoxiao shot him a re.
They stopped at a red light. Yin Shaojie noticed her expression and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±
Jealousy written all over her face, Mu Xiaoxiao snorted and said, ¡°She seems to like you very much. She even got into the same ss as you. When I was away, were you two very close? When she returned to China, she even told you to pick her up.¡±
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Didn¡¯t I not go? It¡¯s her freedom to send messages. It¡¯s not something I can control.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao scrutinized his expression as though she wanted to find any hints of anything he was hiding from her.
However, she didn¡¯t find any.
It was almost nine o¡¯clock when the two returned to the condominium.
Uponing out of the elevator, Mu Xiaoxiao went to the next door. But after ringing the doorbell a few times no one came to open the door.
Was Mo Xiaomeng not at home?
Yin Shaojie ced her arms on her shoulder and pulled her back. ¡°They may have gone out and are still not back yet.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had even wanted to give Mo Xiaomeng a call, but Yin Shaojie pulled her into their apartment.
¡°Okay, it¡¯s my turn to interrogate you now.¡± Yin Shaojie pinned her against the wall at the entrance. His elegant face lowered, and his eyes gazed deeply at her.
¡°Interrogate me?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes, puzzled.
¡°Yes.¡± Yin Shaojie nodded, his eyes narrowed. He took out the cell phone from his pocket, yed a video and held it in front of her to let her watch it.
Those pretty thin lips of his spat out, ¡°Exin!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao watched the video. She and Lu Yichen appeared in the video.
It had captured them running in the field.
She quickly raised her hands up in a gesture of surrender, exining herself, ¡°This is just a coincidence. I happened to have a physical education ss in the same period, so we happened to bump into each other. And didn¡¯t I tell you that I ran 800 meters today? He just happened to be running too. So we ran together. That¡¯s all!¡±
She must never say that Lu Yichen specially chose to run with her, otherwise this guy would get jealous again.
Yin Shaojie twitched at his mouth. ¡°So the 800 meters that you ran was with him? No wonder your legs became jelly.¡±
She shouted, ¡°What do you mean by that? You¡¯re not being rational! Do you think my legs wouldn¡¯t have be jelly if I didn¡¯t run with him?¡±
Yin Shaojie snorted.

Mu Xiaoxiao gave a sweet smile as she hugged his waist in an attempt to appease him and said, ¡°Well, let¡¯s not talk about other people now. Let¡¯s talk about something else. Didn¡¯t you say you wanted to go camping this weekend? Have you chosen a ce?¡±
Staring down at her little face, Yin Shaojie pinched her tender cheeks, letting her off the hook.
Then he said, ¡°We may have to postpone the camping.¡±
¡°Why?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled.
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Because this Friday, the school is going to the autumn excursion until Saturday. The meeting just now was to discuss the location for the autumn excursion.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face drooped, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say earlier then? I already told Xiaomeng about it. Won¡¯t she be disappointed if I tell her we can¡¯t go now?¡±
He pondered for a moment. ¡°How about this then? You can ask Sijue to see if he would like to take Xiaomeng to the autumn excursion. Then I will choose a ce for camping at night after we separate from the main group.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes instantly lit up, and she nodded happily. ¡°Alright!¡±
Yin Shaojie stroked her little head and said, ¡°Okay. Off to the shower then.¡±
Just when Mu Xiaoxiao was going to go, he grabbed her by the waist and lifted her.
¡°Hey, what are you doing?¡±
Yin Shaojieughed sinisterly, ¡°Didn¡¯t I say? Off to the shower!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face blushed. ¡°You go take a shower first then. I will showerter.¡±
But apparently, the Great Master Yin was intending to take a shower together.
¡°It¡¯d be faster if we take a shower together. We¡¯ll save water too.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Then, an idea hit her. She stopped struggling and even hugged his neck and said, ¡°Then¡ carry me inside to get my pajamas.¡±
Yin Shaojie was of course happy to do it, so he carried her into the cloakroom.
Mu Xiaoxiao spent a while at the wardrobe, and she suddenly said, ¡°Yin Shaojie, wasn¡¯t there still a fewce pajamas? Why aren¡¯t they here?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyebrows rose. Lace pajamas?
His expression changed immediately.
¡°I remember there were several colors of the same outfit and some other ones. How could they all have disappeared?¡±
¡°But I really can¡¯t find it. Are they in another wardrobe?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pretended as she opened the other wardrobe.
But Yin Shaojie quickly found them in the first wardrobe that she had looked in. ¡°Do you want the pink one, or¡¡±
A flurry of footsteps.
Yin Shaojie turned to look, only to see a certain wretch running away. Bang! The door to the bathroom was mmed shut.
Holding the wardrobe frame, Yin Shaojie smiled.
How could it be so easy for him to simply eat this much of her tofu?
¡ª¡ª¡ª
During recess.
Mu Xiaoxiao snuck off to the corridor with the posters. When she was there, Lu Yichen¡¯snky figure was leaning against the pir, his back facing her.
She smiled, walked over to him, and pped him heavily on the shoulder.
Thinking it would have scared him, she never expected that his expression would remain totally unperturbed.
The fun mood seemed to vanish immediately. ¡°How did you know that I wasing?¡±
Lu Yichenughed, ¡°I heard your footsteps.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao went in front of him, leaned against the wall and the two met face-to-face.
She poked her head out to survey the surroundings as though she was afraid to be found out by other people.
She couldn¡¯t help it. The students in Shangde were too gossipy. If they happened to take a photo of her and Lu Yichen together, the photo would definitely get uploaded online again.
She was clearly just an ordinary student. Why did she have the feeling that like she was a celebrity hiding from the paparazzi?

Lu Yichen saw her odd behavior and looked amused. But he didn¡¯t ask her what she was doing, cutting straight to the point.
¡°So what did you want to talk about?¡±
¡°Well¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao responded vaguely and said with a fawning smile, ¡°I have a favor to ask of you.¡±
¡°Okay, shoot,¡± Lu Yichen said very casually as though he would help no matter what she asked of him.
She had been a great help to him after all.
So he would try his best to help her no matter the difficulty as long as she asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s bright eyes curved. ¡°Since you have such impressive grades, you should have notes, right? Can you lend me your Year One notes?¡±
¡°You want to use it to study?¡± Lu Yichen immediately picked up on her intention.
¡°Yeah!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded unashamedly, scratching her head as she said, ¡°Since I studied overseas, I¡¯m not familiar with the sybus taught in China. So for thest exam¡ I got lousy grades. It¡¯s not that I¡¯m stupid! I¡¯ve had good grades during elementary school! So.. I wanted to get some tuition for the Year One¡¯s sybus so that I can get better grades on the next exam.¡±
An Zhixin¡¯s provocations had actually been sessful. Every time she saw An Zhixin unting herself as an excellent student, Mu Xiaoxiao would get irritated, and so she swore that she would definitely improve her grades!
Lu Yichen pondered for a moment and asked, ¡°You¡¯re very good at English, so you don¡¯t have to make up for that. The subjects you are bad at are Mathematics and Chinese?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised. ¡°How do you know that my English is good?¡±
Lu Yichen said, smiling, ¡°Didn¡¯t you get full marks for it? The teachers have been talking about it. Even Year Three¡¯s English teacher use your essays as models.¡±
Upon hearing thest sentence, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mouth formed an ¡°O¡± and she asked in amazement, ¡°Is that true? The Year Threes are using my essays as models?¡±
¡°Yeah, you write very well.¡± Lu Yichen praised her and continued saying, ¡°As for Mathematics and Chinese, you should have studied Mathematics overseas, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°Yes, but the progression isn¡¯t the same. I¡¯ve looked through the textbook. Actually, I could still understand the earlier part of the book. But theter part of it bes quite a bit harder, so I need more time to understand it.¡±
Hearing that, Lu Yichen could immediately tell the level of her knowledge. It seemed that she was indeed a smart girl.
He said, ¡°As for Chinese, you don¡¯t have to make up for what was taught in junior high. As long as you are familiar with Year One¡¯s material, it won¡¯t be too hard to get a good grade.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled, ¡°That¡¯s what I thought too! But, ssical Chinese is so difficult. I can¡¯t even understand a word of it¡ Oh, that doesn¡¯t sound right! I meant that I can understand the words individually, but not when they are put together. And some of the words are so rarely seen, I don¡¯t even know what they mean.¡±
¡°If this is the case¡¡± Lu Yichen was about to continue saying.
Suddenly, a bunch of excited girly shrieks interrupted him.
¡°Ah! Young Master Jie! Is Young Master Jie in physical education ss now? Young Master Jie looks so dashing wearing a jersey!¡±
¡°Yeah! Oh my gosh! I still remember how Young Master Jie took off his shirt thest time he went up to join in the basketball game!¡±
¡°Me too! Me too!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s smile stiffened.
The shrieks drew closer and closer.
She abruptly pulled Lu Yichen to hide behind the pirs.
¡°Shh!¡± She nervously raised up a finger to shush Lu Yichen .
Lu Yichen knitted his brows. ¡°Are you so afraid of letting him see you?¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao touched her nose with a guilty conscience and said, ¡°Not really, but¡ that guy is very prone to getting jealous.¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Lu Yichen didn¡¯t want to probe deeper, and his expression returned to normal as he said to her, ¡°ss is starting soon. You should head back to the ssroom. About the notes, I will go find them and sort them out, and then I¡¯ll give them to you in a few days.¡±
¡°Thank you!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled gratefully, waved at him, and quickly left the ce.
But before she had ran far, she heard someone mentioning Su Lin.
¡°Wow! Isn¡¯t that Miss Su Lin? Since when did shee back to China?¡±
¡°Who is Miss Su Lin? She looks so beautiful and dazzling. Could she be Young Master Jie¡¯s new girlfriend? Did Mu Xiaoxiao get dumped?¡±
¡°You are from Year One, no wonder you don¡¯t know Miss Su Lin. Miss Su Lin is the wealthy daughter of the famous Su family. She¡¯s Shangde¡¯s school beauty!¡±
¡°I think she¡¯s much morepatible with Young Master Jie. How does that Mu Xiaoxiao even deserve Young Master Jie? Humph! She¡¯s not as good looking as Miss Su.¡±
Then, a boy interrupted and said, ¡°You¡¯re looking at it from a girl¡¯s perspective. From a guy¡¯s perspective, Mu Xiaoxiao and Su Lin each have their own merits. Su Lin has that morous type of beauty. While Mu Xiaoxiao has that natural beauty and an attractive personality. For me, I prefer girls like Mu Xiaoxiao.¡±
Another boy disagreed, saying, ¡°Of course, it is Miss Su Lin who is more beautiful! Although Mu Xiaoxiao is also very beautiful, I still prefer Miss Su Lin. She is dazzling like a natural superstar.¡±
¡°Who cares who you like? We only want to know who Young Master Jie likes!¡±
¡°I remember that Miss Su Lin was often hanging out with Young Master Jie before she went abroad. They also seemed to be quite close to each other. Young Master Jie does pamper Mu Xiaoxiao quite a bit, but now that Miss Su Lin is back, who knows what will happen?¡±
¡°I think Mu Xiaoxiao is the mistress, and Miss Su Lin is his official wife. Now that she is back, Mu Xiaoxiao has lost her standing!¡±
¡°Going by family background and looks, of course, Miss Su Lin is morepatible with Young Master Jie. No matter how much Young Master Jie pampers Mu Xiaoxiao, she will only be his ything. He won¡¯t be serious about her. In the end, he will definitely choose to be with Miss Su Lin¡±
Standing not far behind them, Mu Xiaoxiao heard these words, and her eyes turned severe.
They actually dared to say that she was the mistress?
And Su Lin was the official wife?
What a load of bull!
Her eyes narrowed as she told herself that it was normal for Yin Shaojie and Su Lin to attend the same physical education ss together since they were in the same ss after all.
Sheforted herself and slowly calmed the rage in her heart.
Just then, her cell phone rang.
Mu Xiaoxiao retreated a few steps and hid behind a tree. Then she took out her cell phone.
It was Yin Shaojie calling.
Mu Xiaoxiao immediately grew irritated as she picked up the phone and said in an unpleasant tone, ¡°What!¡±
¡°What ss are you having next?¡± Yin Shaojie asked, not bothered by her tone.
Mu Xiaoxiao kicked the leaves on the ground and said gloomily, ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t care what ss you are taking. Come to the basketball stadium now.¡±
¡°What would I be going there for?¡±
Yin Shaojie said humorously, ¡°I¡¯m going to y basketball in the physical education ss in this period. You are my fianc¨¦e. Aren¡¯t you going toe and support me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was reminded that Su Lin was there too, and she said sourly, ¡°Even if I don¡¯t go, you won¡¯t becking any cheerleaders, would you? You don¡¯t need me.¡±
Chapter 690 - More Exalted Than A Princess (2)
Chapter 690: More Exalted Than A Princess (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Who says that I don¡¯t need you? You are my only wife. If you don¡¯te, who will give me support? Come quickly! If you don¡¯te, I¡¯m gonna spank you when we get home, do you hear me?¡± Yin Shaojie said in a menacing tone.
Mu Xiaoxiao actually smiled. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go right away.¡±
She hung up the call and chuckled. From where she was, she could see Yin Shaojie walking toward the basketball stadium, and Su Lin was walking beside him. Of course, there were other boys beside him also wearing jerseys.
Mu Xiaoxiao stealthily slipped behind him, nning to give Yin Shaojie a scare.
Suddenly, she jumped in front of him and shouted, ¡°WAA!¡±.
But Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t frightened. Instead, it was Su Lin beside him whose eyes widened in horror as she sped at her chest.
¡°Xiaoxiao, do you think you are a ghost?¡± she said unhappily.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s long arm hooked and pulled Mu Xiaoxiao to his side. With his arm around her shoulder, he asked, ¡°How did you get here so fast? Were you secretly watching me from somewhere?¡±
He reached out his hand and pinched her nose as he said.
Mu Xiaoxiao swatted his hand away like a fly, saying, ¡°Why should I watch you secretly. I just happened to be¡ passing by.¡±
Wherever he went, he was just like a superstar, surrounded by spirited discussions and the incessant screams from girls. It would be hard for her not to notice him.
¡°So coincidental?¡± Yin Shaojie went up closer in her face.
Mu Xiaoxiao tutted and pushed his face away irritatedly. ¡°Can¡¯t you behave yourself? Don¡¯t you feel ashamed having so many people watching you?¡±
Yin Shaojie said matter-of-factly, ¡°What¡¯s there to be ashamed of? Why should I be ashamed of hugging my wife?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Although she felt helpless about his shamelessness, she couldn¡¯t help but smile.
The people who had been talking about her being dumped by Yin Shaojie would probably feel a p to the face after seeing them together like this, huh?
The two enjoyed each other¡¯spany whilepletely ignoring Su Lin beside them.
However grim she had appeared, Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao remained oblivious to it.
At the basketball stadium.
Because Yin Shaojie was there, the stadium was filled with people, almost all girls. People not in the know might have even thought it was some majorpetition.
Apparently some people had even skipped sses in order to watch Yin Shaojie.
Su Lin went to sit on the bench in a very natural manner. It was the seat closest to the yers.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her and asked Yin Shaojie, ¡°Where are Qiqing and Shijun? Why aren¡¯t they here?¡±
¡°Shijun is busy with the Student Union. As for Qiqing¡ She is probably sleeping somewhere, I guess?¡± Yin Shaojieughed. It was because Song Shijun had missed out on thest meeting that Yin Shaojie punished him, making him responsible for the autumn excursion.
Mu Xiaoxiao remembered how Qiqing, thatzy pig, would head to the infirmary or the Student Union to sleep whenever she wanted to skip sses.
Su Lin smiled and waved to her, ¡°Xiaoxiao,e sit here.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. Then she patted Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm and said, ¡°y well. Don¡¯t make me lose face.¡±
Yin Shaojieughed.
They were only ying a casual game in their physical education ss. It wasn¡¯t an actual game. But since there were so many girls spectating, some of the boys had gotten nervous.
In contrast, Yin Shaojie had already gotten used to the ardent stares from the girls, and he paid no attention to them.
Chapter 691 - More Exalted Than A Princess (3)
Chapter 691: More Exalted Than A Princess (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
It didn¡¯t take more than a few minutes before he scored a few consecutive shots easily, with two of them being three-pointers.
The girls on the spectator seats were going wild and screamed Yin Shaojie¡¯s name.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao only yawned. She started to y with her phone out of boredom, not paying any attention to the court at all.
If she had known that the game was going to be so boring, she would have nevere.
But Su Lin was here so she had toe.
In contrast to hernguid attitude, Su Lin was really engrossed, her eyes glued to Yin Shaojie¡¯s figure. Her posture was erect, her fists were curled into balls and she shouted out encouragement intermittently.
Mu Xiaoxiao shot a look at her. She had some good acting skills.
She yawned again. Suddenly, she thought about Han Qiqing and felt really envious of her. She really wanted to find a spot to nap too.
Just then, Yin Shaojie got off the court and another boy took his ce.
He walked towards the substitute¡¯s bench. A wave of girls¡¯ screams rolled over and the girls that surrounded him rushed over with towels and water.
¡°Young Master Jie, have some water!¡±
¡°Young Master Jie, please use my towel!¡±
However, Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t take them. His dark eyes looked towards Mu Xiaoxiao and noticed that she was sitting still. Not only was she not giving him water and a towel, she was happily ying with her phone and had probably thrown him to the back of her mind a long time ago.
Yin Shaojie frowned and walked over.
Su Lin had been sitting elegantly at her seat from the start of the match to its finish. Upon seeing him walk close, she took up a bottle of spring water beside her, unscrewed the cap, and stood up to offer it to him.
¡°Shaojie, have some water.¡±
Yin Shaojie galred at Mu Xiaoxiao again, pursing his lips unhappily.
Suddenly, his leg shot out and kicked the chair she was sitting on.
Mu Xiaoxiao jolted and jumped in fright. She lifted her head suddenly and snapped, ¡°What!¡±
Yin Shaojie looked towards Su Lin and received the bottle she was offering. ¡°Thanks,¡± he acknowledged.
Su Lin was very happy. She bent over to take a towel and stood to one side, intending to give it to him after he finished the water.
In contrast, Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed and held out her hand to Yin Shaojie suddenly. ¡°I¡¯m thirsty.¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s sexy lips curled up in a smile and he gave her the bottle he had only taken two gulps out of.
Mu Xiaoxiao received the bottle and started drinking from it with no shame.
There was a sharp intake of air from behind them. Su Lin had a heavy expression on her face as she watched Mu Xiaoxiao and she squeezed the towel in her hand tightly.
Yin Shaojie looked towards Su Lin and reached out a long arm to grab the towel from her hands. ¡°Thanks,¡± he acknowledged again.
However, he didn¡¯t wipe is own sweat after spreading the towel open, but bent over and wiped Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mouth with it.
¡°Drink slower, there¡¯s no one fighting you for it.¡±
She drank like a little kid, and the water even flowed down to her shirt.
Mu Xiaoxiao gulped down the rest of the water in one shot before she realized something after she looked at the empty bottle, ¡°Aiyah, do you still need water?¡±
Yin Shaojie joked, ¡°Are you going to vomit it out for me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao reached out her hand to Su Lin. ¡°Su Lin, give me another bottle.¡±
Su Lin looked a little displeased. Was shemanding her like a servant now?
Mu Xiaoxiao teased, ¡°Su Lin, hurry up and give a bottle to me. Or could it be that you¡¯re only willing to hand one to Jie but not to me?¡±
Su Lin squeezed out a smile and said, ¡°Of course not, I just wanted to ask if you wanted a vored drink or spring water.¡±
¡°Spring water will do. Thanks.¡±
Su Lin held out a bottle of spring water.
Mu Xiaoxiao took it in her hands and offered it to Yin Shaojie.
However, Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t take it, but signaled something to her with his dark eyes.

Mu Xiaoxiao understood then. She shook her head at him helplessly before unscrewing the cap and offering him the bottle. ¡°How¡¯s this, then? You¡¯re sozy!¡±
However, Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t take the bottle. Instead, he sat beside her and drank from her hand so that she could feed the water to him.
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him with disgust, she still fed him the water.
Upon seeing their disy of intimacy, the crowd was dumbstruck. The spectator stand was silent, as though there was no one there.
Yin Shaojie finished half a bottle before taking her hand and moving it away.
He took one nce at her hand before pouring the rest of the water in his hand and wiping away the dirt on her hands.
¡°Why is your hand so dirty? What did you touch just now?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao turned to look at her hand. It was only then that she realized that her palm had been dirtied by some dust somewhere, and that it was the type of dust that could only be washed away with water.
She shook her head, puzzled. ¡°I don¡¯t know how I got so dirty.¡±
She looked at the chair. It was clean, and thus it couldn¡¯t have been from there.
Could it be¡ from her leaning against the wall when she was walking along the corridor of the ckboard bulletin?
Yin Shaojie helped her to wash her hands clean and took up the towel to wipe it dry.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled involuntarily as she looked at his handsome face that was looking down at her hand.
Upon finishing his deed, Yin Shaojie lifted his head and met her gaze. Smirking, he said, ¡°What are you looking at unblinkingly? Are you realizing that you¡¯re even more mesmerized by me now?¡±
¡°F*ck you!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao gave his chest a shove.
Yin Shaojie used the momentum to grab her little hand. With her hand in hisrge one, he rested them on the chair.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t shake him off, but allowed him to do whatever he wanted.
They were now in their own world and had forgotten about Su Lin nearby.
Mu Xiaoxiao asked, ¡°Has the location for the autumn outing been decided?¡±
¡°Yeah, it¡¯ll be at a resort in City C. The valley there is even bigger and more beautiful than the one we went to previously, and there¡¯s even a waterfall. Also, you like strawberries, right? They have an even bigger strawberry garden there, and also a blueberry garden, et cetera, and there are a lot of things to y with there.¡±
The objective of the autumn outing was to let the students have fun as a group so as to cultivate rtionships and bonds between students as well as to create good memories for everyone.
Mu Xiaoxiao sniggered. She whispered near his ear, ¡°Why do I feel like you¡¯re using your public office for private gain?¡±
Did he not choose the location based on her preferences?
Yin Shaojie flicked her forehead with his fingers. ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much! Do you think you¡¯re the only person who likes this? There are other people who like this too. The entire Student Union voted for it and it wasn¡¯t something that only I decided upon.¡±
Of course, he did emphasize his approval of the location.
¡°Humph.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao thumbed her nose at him. Would he die if he just cooperated and said some sweet nothings to her? What an annoying guy!
¡
In the middle of the night.
The light in Lu Yichen¡¯s room was still on. He was crouching over the table, engrossed in writing something, to the point where he didn¡¯t even realize that someone had pushed his door open and entered.
It was only when Lu Qian walked up right behind him and paused when she lifted her hand to tap him on his shoulder that Lu Yichen returned to his senses and turned around to look at her.
¡°Mom, why are you up?¡±
Lu Yichen looked at the time. It was already past one o¡¯clock.
¡°Yichen, are there examsing up? Why are you still up studying sote?¡± Lu Qian said, worried. Sweeping a nce at the table, she realized that the books open on the table were Year One books, not Year Three.
Chapter 693 - More Exalted Than A Princess (5)

She looked at him, confused.
Lu Yichen didn¡¯t really want to exin this and tried to change the topic. ¡°Mom, your body is weak so you should go and rest. I know my limits and I¡¯ll be sleeping in a while.¡±
Lu Qian sighed and asked, ¡°Are you tutoring Year One students to earn money?¡±
She knew that her illness required a lot of money to treat and she was scared of burdening her son with it.
¡°No¡¡± Lu Yichen knew that his mother would not go back to sleep if he didn¡¯t exin himself properly. Helpless, he said, ¡°This is for Xiaoxiao. She asked me for my Year One notes so that she can study it. I¡¯m just trying to tidy them up for her.¡±
Lu Qian looked at the table again. There was a brand new notebook right beside the textbook and she instantly understood the situation.
¡°Are you rewriting new notes for her? How long are you going to take?¡±
Lu Yichen smiled indifferently. ¡°It¡¯s okay, it won¡¯t take long. My notes aren¡¯t suitable for her to digest, so I¡¯m trying to make a cleaner version for her. I can also revisit my Year One knowledge, which is a good thing.¡±
Lu Qian didn¡¯t object because he was trying to help Mu Xiaoxiao. Moreover, she was really d that he could help Xiaoxiao out, since Xiaoxiao was a good child who lent two million for her treatment. She would remember this act of kindness forever.
However, Lu Qian¡¯s heart still ached for her son. He was only 18 but had to support the family. It was tough on him.
What made her even more sad was¡
Lu Qian sighed. She said, guiltily, ¡°If you had a better background, you¡¯d be able to let go and chase Xiaoxiao.¡±
In the past, she had advised him not to get into a rtionship early, but Xiaoxiao was a rare gem of a girl, and she really liked that her.
Also, she was not oblivious to how her son felt about Xiaoxiao. However, pitiably, Xiaoxiao¡¯s family background was too good. They couldn¡¯t entertain such wild wishes with their current situation.
Recently, she couldn¡¯t help but think¡ if she told Yichen about his father and he took on the Gu name, would Yichen have a chance with Xiaoxiao?
Lu Yichen pursed his lips and stood up. Wrapping an arm around her shoulder, he walked her out of his room as he said, ¡°Alright, don¡¯t let your thoughts run wild. Hurry up and sleep. I¡¯m about to sleep soon.¡±
Lu Qian didn¡¯t say anything else for she didn¡¯t want to hurt his heart. She advised, ¡°Sleep early and don¡¯t stay up all night, okay?¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
After apanying his mother to her room and watching her settle on her bed, he then turned off the lights and walked out.
Upon returning to his room, he sat before his table. Looking at the notes in front of him, his gaze deepened as he thought about something.
It was a long time before he returned to his senses and continued to write notes.
¡
On a Friday morning.
At an eco-resort in City C.
All the students arrived in a deluxe coach but the Great Master Yin stubbornly drove Mu Xiaoxiao and the rest there in amercial vehicle.
Upon their arrival, the students exited the coach and carried their luggage into the great hall.
There were no teachers supervising Shangde¡¯s autumn outing, and it was managed entirely by the members of the Student Union. This was to cultivate the leadership skills of the members of the Student Union, for the ones who could enter the club were the best people from the best families.
The great hall was packed with students trying to decide their rooms.
Mu Xiaoxiao and the rest had arrived earlier and they sat on a nearby sofa to rest.
ording to convention, Shangde booked the entire resort again. This was to ensure the safety of the students and also to enjoy themselves to the fullest.
Chapter 694 - More Exalted Than A Princess (6)
Chapter 694: More Exalted Than A Princess (6)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Yin Shaojie and his clique had long been assigned to the most superior detached cottage in the resort.
This was a top-grade eco-resort. Besides itsrge area and natural scenery, their romantic-looking cottages was another selling point. Most of the students were staying there with only a few students assigned to the hotel.
However, the view from the hotel was also unique. One was able to admire the natural beauty of the scenery, making it a delightful experience.
On the sofa, Mu Xiaoxiao, Han Qiqing and Mo Xiaomeng sat together and chit-chatted happily.
Yin Shaojie and his two other make friends sat on individual armchairs nearby.
Just then, the television above them started to y entertainment news. It was some gossip fromst night ¡ª the hottest star from America, Burt, was dating Princess Chanel from Country F now.
The discussion of the girls on the sofa next to them could be heard intermittently and their tone was full of envy and jealousy.
¡°It would be so nice if I were a princess because I¡¯d be able to have Burt as my hubby.¡±
¡°Dream on. Do you think it¡¯s easy to be a princess? This is called winning the reincarnation game. She already became a noble princess the moment she was born and she¡¯s able to enjoy the most extravagant things in the world.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t say anymore! I¡¯m about to die from jealousy! What right does a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl have to be able to date Burt while we can only be Burt¡¯s fans?¡±
¡°That¡¯s simple ¡ª because she¡¯s a noble and esteemed princess; what about you? You¡¯re only a rich girl from a small enterprising family. How can youpare to her. Of course Burt will choose to date a princess.¡±
The voices behind them were full of admiration for the princess¡¯ beauty, the bags she carried and the clothes she wore, et cetera¡ They analyzed all the information about her.
Upon hearing these, Mo Xiaomeng couldn¡¯t help but to cover her mouth andugh. She leaned towards Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ear and said something.
Because their surroundings were noisy, Han Qiqing was unable to catch what they were talking about.
She moved her ear closer. ¡°Hey, what are you talking about? Tell me about it too.¡±
It was only then that Mo Xiaomeng realized that she had neglected Han Qiqing. She shot an apologetic look at her, leaned closer, and said, ¡°I was betting with Xiaoxiao on how long Chanel will date this Burt guy. I¡¯m betting that they¡¯llst a month.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed as she wagged a finger. ¡°I¡¯m sure they¡¯ll onlyst half a month.¡±
Han Qiqing asked, puzzled, ¡°Do you¡ know this Princess Chanel?¡±
They seemed to know her based on their tone.
Mo Xiaomeng nodded. ¡°We know her. Don¡¯t be fooled by her appearance; Chanel actually has a savage personality. However, she doesn¡¯t dare to go overboard in front of Xiaoxiao.¡±
¡°She doesn¡¯t dare to go overboard in front of Xiaoxiao? Why?¡± Han Qiqing¡¯s eyes lit up at the possibility of gossip.
That was the Princess of Country F!
It would be natural for an esteemed princess to be coddled by the people around her, but why act differently when she was in front of Xiaoxiao?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng seemed to recall something and said to Han Qiqing, ¡°There was this time that she tried to please Xiaoxiao and even sent her a whole bunch of gifts. However, they were all shy but impractical things. Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t like them, and sent them back. Chanel panicked, thinking that Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t like her, and spent the next few days following Xiaoxiao around trying to get her to promise to be her friend.¡±
Han Qiqing was shocked and looked at Mu Xiaoxiao, stunned.
Wait a minute! What kind of situation was this?
Why did Xiaoxiao seem more esteemed than this princess from Country F?
If not, why would this Princess Chanel want to please Xiaoxiao?
Chapter 695 - A Prince Tried to Woo Her (1)

Han Qiqing asked hurriedly, ¡°What happened next? Did Xiaoxiao care about her?¡±
¡°Of course she¡¡± Mo Xiaomeng was about to continue, but was elbowed by Mu Xiaoxiao who looked at her and said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk about other people¡¯s business. I have a kinda good rtionship with Chanel.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng smiled with her lips and didn¡¯t continue.
This caused Han Qiqing to be extremely curious. Lunging forward, she hugged Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s neck and shook her. ¡°Xiaoxiao, just tell me what¡¯s going on. You¡¯ve only been in America for a few years. How did you get to know a princess? Did you meet a prince as well? Like an elder or younger brother of the princess? Is he handsome?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng remembered something and sheughed with a hand over her mouth, ¡°Of course she knows a prince. Prince Dick from Country L tried to woo Xiaoxiao before, and also that¡¡±
Once these words were said, they were of course heard by a particr demon.
Mu Xiaoxiao reached out to stop Mo Xiaomeng from continuing hurriedly. Shemented, ¡°Xiaomeng, are you trying to disclose everything about me today? I shouldn¡¯t have brought you here if I had known.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng stuck her tongue out and made a cross on her lips to indicate that she wouldn¡¯t say anymore.
However, Yin Shaojie raised his eyebrow and said, ¡°Since you¡¯re preventing someone else from telling the story, you can tell it yourself. Xiaoxiao, who are all these princes?¡±
It seemed like she had enjoyed herself immensely during those four years in America. No wonder she had forgotten her childhood friend after she had gone there.
Han Qiqing¡¯s curiosity was aroused and she was really impatient. She swung Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand even more violently and said, ¡°Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, hurry up and tell us the facts! How many princes have wooed you before? Are they handsome? Do you have any photos? I want to see them!¡±
Nearby, Song Shijun sighed. He shook his head at her and teased, ¡°Qiqing, the only thing you care about is whether they¡¯re handsome or not? You¡¯re so shallow!¡±
¡°Why do you care! So what if I¡¯m shallow!¡± Han Qiqing stuck her tongue out at him and harrumphed.
So what if she was obsessed with looks?
Song Shijun smirked and heughed. ¡°So you like Lu Yichen because he¡¯s handsome?¡±
Upon hearing his, Mu Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled, ¡°Oh yeah, why don¡¯t I see Year Threes here? There seems to be only Year Ones and Year Twos here. Isn¡¯t this supposed to be a school-wide autumn outing?¡±
¡°They were supposed toe. However, there turned out to be a monthly examination next week. In order to not distract them, they¡¯ll have a Year Three autumn outing after their monthly examination,¡± Song Shijun exined, and he seemed to shoot a look at Yin Shaojie as he did so.
Yin Shaojie cared more about the previous topic and wanted to bring the conversation around again. Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to have predicted this and stood up suddenly. ¡°Alright, alright, we should go to our rooms too!¡± she shouted.
She looked at Song Shijun and asked, ¡°How many rooms are there in the cottage? How many people can fit in there? How are our rooms assigned?¡±
Song Shijun said, ¡°There are three floors and four or five rooms on each floor. It¡¯s possible for us to take one room each, but you..¡±
You will definitely be rooming with the Great Master Yin.
He didn¡¯t get the chance to finish his words.
Mu Xiaoxiao hooked an arm around Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s neck. Beaming, she said, ¡°I¡¯m rooming with Xiaomeng, of course! Xiaomeng, do you want to room with me?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng nodded happily and pped excitedly like a seal. ¡°Yeah okay!¡±

Han Qiqing hastily stood up and said, ¡°What about me? I want to stay together too! Can we three share a room?¡±
¡°Won¡¯t that be crowded?¡±
Disgruntled, Han Qiqing said, ¡°Xiaoxiao, now that you have Xiaomeng, you don¡¯t want me anymore? I don¡¯t care. I don¡¯t want you two to abandon me.¡±
The ones to be truly disgruntled, however, were Yin Shaojie and Ye Sijue.
Yin Shaojie and Ye Sijue looked at each other andmunicated something through their nces.
Oblivious of what was brewing in the dark, Mu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to nod and say to Han Qiqing, ¡°Okay okay. We won¡¯t abandon you. Let¡¯s go there first and see if the bed is big enough and then decide how to split the beds, okay?¡±
If it was big enough for the three of them could sleep together.
This was what she had nned, but she didn¡¯t expect¡
The bed would be big enough, not enough for the three of them, but it would be enough for her to do you-know-what on the bed with a certain demon.
Yin Shaojie got up and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go then.¡±
A group of six left the hotel lobby with their luggage.
If anyone had paid attention, they would have noticed that among the six people there, there were only four people¡¯s worth of luggage. Yin Shaojie was pushing a suitcase, which apparently contained both his and Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s belongings. And Ye Sijue was pushing another, which of course, contained both his and Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s belongings. And Shaojie and Han Qiqing were both carrying their individual luggage.
Because it was a two days and one night autumn excursion, they didn¡¯t bring a lot.
But they nned to camp in the valley at night, so they also had tents in the car.
As they came to the entrance, a multi-purpose vehicle drove by and stopped right in front of them.
The door opened, a fair, slender leg, wearing a pair of beautiful rose-colored high heels, stepped out.
In that moment, all the boys were enthralled. Their eyes, unblinking, were riveted by the beautiful legs.
When everyone was wondering who it was, Su Lin stepped out. Wearing a fine, pretty short skirt, a wide-brimmed sun hat, and sunsses, she appeared with an air of elegance.
¡°Wow! It¡¯s Miss Su Lin! So beautiful!¡±
¡°Yes yes. She¡¯s my goddess, alright. What a morous entrance.¡±
Su Lin smiled at Yin Shaojie and friends and apologized, ¡°I¡¯m sorry I¡¯mte. I was afraid you guys wouldn¡¯t wait for me.¡±
Han Qiqing twitched at her mouth. Saying as if they had been specially waiting for her. How shameless could she be?
Then, the door on the other side opened. A helper got out of the car, dragging a big suitcase, and stood next to Su Lin.
Mu Xiaoxiao squinted. ¡°Su Lin, you brought your helper for this autumn excursion?¡±
And she had also brought such a huge suitcase. People not in the know might even think that she was nning to travel around the world.
Su Lin smiled gently and said, ¡°No, she¡¯s just helping me with my luggage. She¡¯ll be heading backter. Oh yeah, which vi are we staying in?¡±
¡°We?¡± Han Qiqing asked, noticing something odd in her question.
Su Lin replied, ¡°Yeah, we¡¯re all good friends. Of course we have to stay together. There are several rooms in this vi. We can share the rooms. Two to a room. It¡¯d be enough for all of us.¡±
Han Qiqing stared at her. The problem is: who is willing to share a room with you?
In any case, she wasn¡¯t going to be the one. Absolutely not!
Standing beside Mu Xiaoxiao, Han Qiqing rubbed her shoulders against Mu Xiaoxiao, and batted her eyes at her, expressing her intentions.

Mu Xiaoxiao stared at Su Lin suspiciously, always having the vague feeling that she was up to something.
Good friends?
I¡¯m not your good friend!
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s expression remained unchanged, smiling brightly as she asked, ¡°Then who do you want to share a room with?¡±
Su Lin returned the smile, saying, ¡°Xiaoxiao, why don¡¯t we share a room then? Since there are some misunderstandings between us, let¡¯s use this chance to hang out, get to know more about each other, and talk things out.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to refuse her. If she were to sleep with Su Lin, then she wouldn¡¯t dream of being able to have a peaceful sleep.
But before she even started speaking, Yin Shaojie grabbed her arm.
She asked, ¡°What are you doing?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked into her eyes and said, ¡°The sun is quite hot here. Let¡¯s head to the vi first and talkter.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao noticed he was hinting through his eyes, so she stopped talking.
Oh yeah, how could she forget?
They were going to camp outside at night. They weren¡¯t going to sleep in the room anyways. Who cared who she was going to share a room with!
¡°Alright, let¡¯s go.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao waved to everyone, and the group got on the electric car.
Su Lin wanted to go along with them as well, however the six seats of the electric car had already been taken.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I guess you need to take another one.¡±
Su Lin¡¯s lips were pursed. ¡°That¡¯s no problem. Drive slower. I don¡¯t know the way around here.¡±
She said nothing more and got into the electric car behind.
The helperboriously loaded the huge suitcase in the car and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
As the other students watched them leave, they couldn¡¯t help but start whispering among themselves.
As the crowd dissipated, An Zhixin was left filled with envy as she watched the cars drive away into the distance.
Along the way.
The group of six at the front chatted happily. There wasughter and asional singing as well.
Initially, it was Han Qiqing who had started it whimsically, but she couldn¡¯t sing well. After being mocked by Song Shijun, Han Qiqing dragged in Mu Xiaoxiao to help her, and Mu Xiaoxiao then dragged in Mo Xiaomeng instead.
¡°Xiaomeng is very good at singing. Let Xiaomeng sing!¡±
Suddenly, Mo Xiaomeng was bashful and helpless as she shook her head, ¡°No, don¡¯t. I can¡¯t sing.¡±
¡°Who says you can¡¯t sing? Xiaomeng, show Qiqing what it means to sing and not wail like a ghost!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao also couldn¡¯t help butugh at Han Qiqing¡¯s tone deafness.
Han Qiqing shouted, ¡°Hey! Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re on my side! How can you side with Song Shijun?¡±
However, Han Qiqing and Song Shijun were sitting in thest row while Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie were sitting in the first row. And In the middle row sat Mo Xiaomeng and Ye Sijue, so even if Han Qiqing wanted to hit Mu Xiaoxiao, she couldn¡¯t reach her.
Why did her hands have to be so short!
Mo Xiaomeng wasughing happily at their banter.
Gazing deeply at her, Ye Sijue suddenly ced hisrge hand over her little soft hand. Then, his elegant face went up beside her ear and said in a devilish voice, ¡°Will you sing for me? I haven¡¯t heard you sing before.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng blushed as his warm breath tickled her, and she shrunk back bashfully, saying, ¡°No, I¡¯m not singing. It¡¯s weird singing in public.¡±
There were other people in the electric cars that were passing by, so she was embarrassed to sing.
Ye Sijue smirked, and his voice became lower but more beguiling.
¡°Then tonight, sing for me.¡±
This idea seemed even better to him.

¡°No!¡± Mo Xiaomeng said, her face blushing as she turned away.
¡°Why not?¡± Ye Sijue¡¯s fine blue eyes narrowed and his devilish face was almost touching hers.
Han Qiqing bawled from behind. ¡°Stop it, you two. That¡¯s enough. Sijue, stop bullying Xiaomeng. She¡¯s almost about to fall out.¡±
As soon as she finished, Ye Sijue stretched his arms and pulled back Mo Xiaomeng who was leaning out of the car.
¡°Thanks for the reminder,¡± he said, holding Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s hand, not intending of letting go.
Han Qiqing sighed and grumbled softly to Song Shijun, ¡°Is it really good for us single dogs to keep watching these couples? It¡¯s inhumane how they keep abusing us dogs!¡±
Song Shijun pondered for a moment and said seriously, ¡°I have a solution.¡±
¡°What solution?¡±
Upon asking the question, Song Shijun wrapped his arm around her shoulders, smiling smugly as he went close to her ear and say, ¡°We¡¯ll pretend to be couples, then we won¡¯t be single dogs anymore. Now, we won¡¯t be victims of their abuse anymore, will we?¡± Ain¡¯t I clever?¡±
Han Qiqing rolled her eyes at him and speared him away with her elbow. ¡°Lame!¡±
Song Shijun rubbed his wounded chest and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go find Su Lin then. And you¡¯ll be the only single dog left to bear three times the abuse! You¡¯d better think carefully!¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s eyes widened. Then her two fingers were pointed at his eyes as she threatened him, ¡°You dare!¡±
¡°Heheh, you can¡¯t just leave me, huh?¡± Song Shijunughed cunningly as he tried to put his arms around her again.
Han Qiqing flung his hand away, nced at Su Lin in the car behind them, and she lowered her voice as she said to him, ¡°Who cares about you? I¡¯m just reminding you that Su Lin is not one of us. You can¡¯t have really taken a fancy to her, right?¡±
Song Shijun quickly replied, ¡°Of course not! How could I like her?¡±
Han Qiqing was relieved. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡±
In the middle of their chatter, they unknowingly arrived at the vi.
At the entrance to the vi stood an attendant. Seeing them arrive, he smiled, bowing deferentially, and went to open the door for them.
Yin Shaojie moved the luggage with one hand and held Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand with the other as they entered first.
Mu Xiaoxiao was enamored with the decor as she looked around the ce. She turned to Mo Xiaomeng and said, ¡°Xiaomeng, let¡¯s go upstairs and pick a room.¡±
¡°Oka¡¡± Before Mo Xiaomeng could even finish saying the word, Ye Sijue held her in his arms,pelling her to go upstairs with him.
Amazed, Mu Xiaoxiao stared at Ye Sijue as she said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°What¡¯s the meaning of that?¡±
¡°He couldn¡¯t be wanting to¡¡±
The thought shed in her mind, and she immediately started toward them. However, Yin Shaojie held her back.
He said slowly, ¡°Slow down. Don¡¯t be so anxious.¡±
It was already a foregone conclusion anyways. It wouldn¡¯t matter even if she were to oppose it.
¡°But¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked worried. How was she going to exin to William about this?
Yin Shaojie looked at her and said, ¡°If Sijue wanted to do anything to Xiaomeng, he would have already done it since they¡¯re living together. Would he have to wait until now? Just let them go about their natural course.¡±
He tapped on the luggage and said, ¡°You should help carry this too. It¡¯s too heavy. What the heck did you put inside?¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t put a lot of things! It¡¯s just some¡ Let me think¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pondered as she carried the luggage upstairs.
Chapter 699 - A Prince Tried to Woo Her (5)

Seeing this scene, Song Shijun teased Yin Shaojie, ¡°I say, Great Master Yin, are you still a man? You¡¯re actually making Xiaoxiao move the luggage upstairs.¡±
Yin Shaojie smirked and said smugly, ¡°People like you who don¡¯t have a wife wouldn¡¯t understand.¡±
Of course he wouldn¡¯t appreciate the fun in it.
Song Shijun whimpered and looked pitifully to Han Qiqing. ¡°Qiqing, he bullied me!¡±
But Han Qiqing disregarded him, tapped on his shoulders and ordered him, ¡°Hurry up and bring up my luggage first. Xiaoxiao, I¡¯ll go up and pick a room first, the biggest one for the three of us!¡±
With that said, she went upstairs.
Song Shijun had no choice but to bring up her luggage.
¡°Sigh. Just like they say, nice guys always gets bullied. I¡¯m just too nice~~¡±
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao almost let the suitcase go, but fortunately, Yin Shaojie was able to catch it from behind.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted, ¡°It¡¯s all Song Shijun¡¯s fault!¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded in agreement. ¡°Yes. He is too shameless. Let¡¯s continue and ignore him.¡±
Song Shijun was speechless.
In a clumsy effort, Mu Xiaoxiao finally brought the luggage up to the second floor.
Song Shijun had already carried up his and Han Qiqing¡¯s luggage, and he looked disdainfully upon Mu Xiaoxiao, saying, ¡°Xiaoxiao, you are too weak. It¡¯s just like thest time when your legs turned to jelly after running 800 meters. This is not eptable. Your fitness is crucial to your sex¡¡±
Before he could say ¡°life¡±, Mu Xiaoxiao kicked him.
Yin Shaojie grabbed her. ¡°Come on. Let¡¯s go to the third floor.¡±
Without much consideration, Mu Xiaoxiao simply continued upstairs, and she even made a face at Song Shijun.
Reaching the third floor, she looked back and found that Yin Shaojie was holding her hand and carrying luggage with the other hand.
She said gloomily, ¡°You can carry it yourself, can¡¯t you? Then why did you tell me to carry it just now?¡±
She was dead-tired!
¡°It¡¯s mostly your stuff inside, isn¡¯t it? Then it¡¯s only right that you should carry it, don¡¯t you think?¡± Yin Shaojie said matter-of-factly, but there seemed to be evil in his smile as if he was plotting something.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t refute him. What was done was done anyways. She couldn¡¯t turn back time.
¡°Which room do you want to stay in?¡±
After a brief browse, she found that the vi had three floors, two rooms on each of the second and third floor and one room on the first floor.
Yin Shaojie looked around. ¡°You choose.¡±
She thought that he was asking her to help choose a room for him, so she entered the room on the left, and took a look at it. ¡°The view from here is pretty good. I¡¯ll go check out the other room.¡±
The rooms on the highest floor were pretty good as they had better view of the scenery than those on the second floor.
However, Yin Shaojie grabbed her hand and said, ¡°No need. Sijue has taken that room. This will do.¡±
¡°Alright, you stay here, and Sijue will stay in the next room. Me, Qiqing and Xiaomeng, will see which one of the other rooms are bigger and share it. Do you think that the room on the first floor will be bigger?¡±
There would be two rooms remaining, just enough for Song Shijun and Su Lin, one for each of them.
As Mu Xiaoxiao was thinking about these things, she didn¡¯t realize that Yin Shaojie had already closed and locked the door.
She went to the balcony and admired the scenery outside, her little fist tapping on her shoulders.
¡°Are you aching?¡± Yin Shaojie said as he stood behind her, his fingers gripped and kneaded her shoulders.
Mu Xiaoxiao closed her eyes to enjoy the massage.
Yin Shaojie took her inside the room, saying in a maic voice as he coaxed her, ¡°Lay on the bed. I¡¯ll give you a massage.¡±
Chapter 700 - A Prince Tried to Woo Her (6)

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. She went along with him andid on the bed.
A soft caressing breeze entered from the balcony. The force applied on her shoulders was just right, putting her into afortable and sleepy state.
¡°Ungh¡ that¡¯s it. Harder¡ yes. Ungh uh¡ Yeah¡¡±
Closing her eyes in enjoyment, she didn¡¯t realize that something was brewing deep in the eyes of the demon above her.
His hand, started at her shoulders, slowly going down, kneading her back, and then it reached her waist.
¡°A bit to the middle¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao directed him.
¡°Here?¡± Yin Shaojie asked in his husky voice. But his broad palms were not listening to themands as they moved down to her waist, lifted up the tail of her shirt, his hot palms feeling next to her skin.
¡°Hey.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao noticed and called out to stop him.
¡°This way of massage is more effective. Massaging over the clothes is not very precise.¡± Yin Shaojie pulled one over her, his hands pushing up her shirt, revealing her slender and fair waist.
His gaze deepened as it rested upon her exquisite dimples of Venus.
He wasn¡¯t stopping. After a brief hesitation, she didn¡¯t stop him anymore.
Indeed, massaging directly over the skin was very different to massaging over the clothes.
Mu Xiaoxiao was veryfortable, so she stopped worrying about him and continued to enjoy the massage.
However, as Yin Shaojie massaged upward, suddenly he undid her strap, and it startled her.
¡°What are you doing?¡± She quickly pressed herself against the bed and covered her chest with her hands.
¡°I¡¯m giving you a massage.¡± Yin Shaojie was still speaking matter-of-factly, but his voice had be huskier.
Feeling his hot palms stroking her, her face grew feverish as she said, ¡°You can massage my shoulders and my waist, but not my back. It isn¡¯t aching.¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t reply to her but he continued. The broad, hot palms stroked her back in swirling motions, and the force applied was just right as he pressed on her acupuncture point.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a slight pain and moaned.
However, the pain was quickly followed by pleasure.
Yin Shaojie then said, ¡°Did that Prince Dick and those other princes, who Xiaomeng was talking about earlier, really woo you? How did they try to woo you?¡±
Picking up on the jealousy in his tone, Mu Xiaoxiao shook withughter.
¡°Those are all in the past. Dick and the rest were just ying. They tried to woo me but I didn¡¯t give them a response so nothing else happened after that.¡±
¡°So are you saying that they weren¡¯t sincere enough? If they had tried harder to pursue you, you would have agreed?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s back was facing him. So she could only hear his deep voice and could not see his dangerous, narrowed eyes.
So she deliberately said, ¡°Maybe. Dick happens to be the type that I like, the wild, dashing type. He charmed countless girls! Even Chanel fancied him before. She tried to pursue him but Dick ignored her.¡±
Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t interested in hearing herplimenting other men.
Maybe?
She was getting quite bold, wasn¡¯t she? She actually dared to let him hear her saying this.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes deepened, and his palms slid down from her side.
¡°Hey!¡± rmed, she blushed as her hands tried to stop his dirty hands.
However, as her body was lifted above the bed, it had given him an opening instead.
With a sinister smile, his eyes narrowed, and heughed mischievously, ¡°Now, it is time for the formal interrogation.¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao was anxiously protecting her breasts with one hand and trying to push him away with her elbow.
¡°Yin Shaojie! What are you doing. Stop fooling around!¡±
However, the more she tried to stop him, the dirtier he got. He even tried to¡ squeeze her.
This jerk!
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ears were so red that they could start bleeding. The indescribable sensation at her breasts seemed to shoot through her like an electric current. It was so unbearable and yet so pleasurable at the same time.
It was very odd. When he had first touched her, it was an awkward feeling. But now it was different. With the way that he was touching her, the first thing she felt was no longer awkwardness, but¡ a hot and swelling sensation from within her chest.
Seeing that she was trying to get up, how could Yin Shaojie just let her? Then, he simplyid himself on top of her, his big body stopped her from getting up.
And his hands became even more wanton as though he was fiddling with some interesting toy, so much that he could hardly stop himself.
Mu Xiaoxiao nearly slipped out a moan, but she bit her lip and resisted the convulsing sensation.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s elegant face came down beside her ear, and he put her earlobe in his mouth.
The soft, wet tip of his tongue licked her ear.
Mu Xiaoxiao tilted back in her neck, feeling as if she was about to go crazy.
For a moment, her defenses came down, her mouth loosened as she slipped out a moan, ¡°Ungh¡¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes, bright and ck, glistened like stars shining in the night sky.
¡°My dear wife, you¡¯d better be honest with me.¡±
He let go of her earlobe, his deep, husky voice said erotically beside her ear.
The voice seemed to have traveled directly into her heart.
Flushed with excitement, Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°C-can you stop first?¡±
Just what did he want her to confess?
But his hand kept messing with her that she couldn¡¯t even think!
Yin Shaojie kissed her behind her neck. ¡°But, it doesn¡¯t want to stop. You can answer the question first and when I¡¯m satisfied I¡¯ll make it stop, yeah?¡±
Thest ¡°yeah¡± was a deadly turn-on. Mu Xiaoxiao convulsed, her heart thumping wildly.
¡°What is it then!¡± She squeezed out these words from her tightly pursed lips.
Yin Shaojie actually liked her earlobe. It was small and cute like the prettiest pendant in the world. He felt like he could kiss it and suck it forever.
Then he finally said, ¡°How many people have tried to woo you besides that Prince Dick?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said gloomily, ¡°There are too many to count!¡±
Didn¡¯t he also have countless girls that tried to go out with him?
Why did he have to ask her such a difficult question?
It was clearly just an excuse for him to eat her tofu!
Yin Shaojie snorted. ¡°It seems my wife is pretty popr in the States, huh? There must be at least a few dozen of them who tried to woo you, if not more, right?¡±
¡°T-there aren¡¯t that many!¡±
Damned, could he stop with his hands!
Yin Shaojie squinted. ¡°Well alright. I¡¯ll ask you. Have you ever felt anything toward that Prince Dick, even if it was just for a moment? Have you ever thought about going out with him? Tell me!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
It was only a few seconds without any replies when Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyebrows rose and danger loomed in his voice.

Her silence meant that it was a positive answer, right?
Dammit!
Yin Shaojie mysteriously felt as though he had shot himself in the foot. He was a fool! Why had he asked such a sadistic question! He was a fool!
¡°I¡¯ve never!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao answered only after she paused for a moment, hastily denying it.
Yin Shaojie harrumphed. It was obvious that she was lying.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s breathing was a little erratic. ¡°Can you stop¡ rubbing with your hands?¡±
She was about to melt from his touch. She couldn¡¯t think properly, and she had to think for a while after listening to his question before she got what he meant.
Yin Shaojie asked again, ¡°You said that you had one boyfriend before. How many boys have you liked before then? No matter whether you liked them openly or liked them in sec¡ª¡±
Before he could say the word ¡°secret,¡± there was a knock on the door.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face was displeased as he yelled, ¡°Who is it!¡±
Who was so dense as toe and disturb him at this time?
There was a pause outside before Su Lin¡¯s voice rang out. ¡°Shaojie? Did you choose this room?¡±
¡°Yes! Go choose another room!¡± hemanded.
However, Su Lin was either dense or pretending to be dense as she stood outside. She didn¡¯t leave, and even said, ¡°Shaojie, can you open the door? I want to go in to take a look.¡±
¡°There¡¯s nothing here for you to see!¡± His voice now sounded impatient and tactless.
Su Lin spoke in a gentler voice, ¡°I like this room and I want to take a look at it. Is that okay?¡±
Yin Shaojie was about to say something when Mu Xiaoxiao elbowed him.
¡°Let go of me first,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao whispered to him.
Yin Shaojie was very reluctant to do so. However, the situation was like this and Su Lin didn¡¯t seem to be a person who he could get rid of easily. He tutted, frustrated, and got up, releasing her.
Mu Xiaoxiao got up hurriedly. Pulling up the nket around her, she hid inside as she hooked her bra properly.
The mood had been spoiled and Yin Shaojie looked a little displeased.
He got down from the bed and walked towards the door. In a sharp voice, he said to the person outside, ¡°I¡¯ve already chosen this room. Go away!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao rearranged her clothing speedily. She then got off the bed and fled into the bathroom.
She only walked out when the blush from her face faded after washing it.
However, Su Lin was still outside, unyielding, insisting oning in.
Mu Xiaoxiao said ¡°Let her in. Her actual intention isn¡¯t toe in to see the room.¡±
She obviously had some other motive.
She walked over to the door and was about to open the door when Yin Shaojie grabbed her wrist and kabedonned her.
He leaned his gorgeous face so close that his nose was almost touching hers.
He narrowed his ck eyes. She could almost breathe in the heat emanating from his body as he said in a low maic voice, ¡°Do you think I¡¯m fit to see her in my current state right now?¡±
He pressed the lower part of his body against her as he said this.
Having had experience before, Mu Xiaoxiao obviously understood what he meant and she blushed.
¡°What do we do then? It doesn¡¯t seem like she will leave if she can¡¯te in.¡±
They couldn¡¯t let Su Lin stay outside knocking on the door right?
This was so annoying!
Yin Shaojie frowned and ground his teeth with his hot dark gaze still fixed on her.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and caressed his chest. ¡°How about¡ you go to the toilet for a while? To calm down?¡±
Chapter 703 - Vying With Her Insistently (3)
Chapter 703: Vying With Her Insistently (3)Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Yin Shaojie suddenly lowered his head, kissing her passionately before releasing her and turning around to go into the bathroom.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s tongue stung from his violent actions and she red at him from behind.
She then walked over to open the door. Su Lin had not stopped knocking on the door and it almost hit her. Luckily, Mu Xiaoxiao managed to dodge it.
Upon seeing her, Su Lin looked shocked. She asked, ¡°Xiaoxiao, why are you here? Where¡¯s Shaojie?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao sneered inwardly.
She must have known that she was inside, or she wouldn¡¯t have been so noisy and insisted oning in, right?
¡°He went to the toilet. What¡¯s the matter?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stood right in front of her without any intention of letting her in.
However, Su Lin walked around her and went inside as though she owned the room. She looked around and nodded. ¡°This room has a really nice view. I like it. Xiaoxiao, did you or Shaojie choose the room? Can I have it?¡±
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t really need to have this room, she felt a little unwilling to let Su Lin have it given her attitude.
¡°Jie was the one who chose the room. You should ask him yourself.¡±
Su Lin smiled. She looked around at the room and seemed to look more and more satisfied as she did so. Walking to the bed, she even made a move to sit on it.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned and reached out a hand to stop her. ¡°What are you doing? The room isn¡¯t yours. Isn¡¯t it rude to sit on another person¡¯s bed? Sit on a chair.¡±
She had just made out with Yin Shaojie on this bed. How could she let Su Lin sit on it?
Just then, Mu Xiaoxiao felt unwilling to let this room go. No matter what Yin Shaojie wanted, she didn¡¯t want to give this room up to Su Lin.
Thus, she simply said to Su Lin, ¡°Aren¡¯t we only going to stay for one night? Go downstairs and pick another room.¡±
¡°No, I want this room. I like it here,¡± Su Lin said stubbornly. After shooting a look at Mu Xiaoxiao, she walked over to the balcony and ced both her arms on the railing, breathing in the fresh air in a manner of enjoyment.
Mu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth. She sat on the bed with her arms crossed, waiting for Yin Shaojie toe out.
It wasn¡¯t long before Yin Shaojie walked out and nced over at Su Lin by the balcony.
¡°Why hasn¡¯t she left?¡± he asked Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao said coolly, ¡°She insists on having this room, and wants you to give it to her.¡±
Su Lin seemed to hear the noise and knew that Yin Shaojie hade out of the toilet. She turned around immediately, smiling charmingly.
¡°Shaojie, I really like this room. Can you give it to me? Pretty please.¡±
Thest two words of her sentence sounded like she was trying to act coy.
Mu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth.
Yin Shaojie bent over and reach out to hold Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand in his. He looked at Su Lin and said, ¡°Sorry, but this room is mine and Xiaoxiao¡¯s. You should choose another room.¡±
The expression on Su Lin¡¯s face froze. She looked stunned, ¡°Yours¡ and Xiaoxiao¡¯s? You¡¯re staying in the same room?¡±
Yin Shaojie pulled Xiaoxiao into his embrace. His sexy lips were smiling as he said, ¡°Have you not noticed it?¡±
¡°Noticed what?¡± Su Lin asked, uprehending.
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°My rtionship with Xiaoxiao.¡±
Su Lin looked a little unhappy. She forced a smile as she said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you always so close with Xiaoxiao? Even so, you don¡¯t have to share a room, right? You¡¯re not kids anymore¡¡±
¡°Xiaoxiao and I are already engaged,¡± Yin Shaojie said bluntly.
Chapter 704 - Vying With Her Insistently (4)
Chapter 704: Vying With Her Insistently (4)Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Engaged? Y-You¡¯re kidding, right?¡± Su Lin looked incredulous. Her body swayed a little as she red at Xiaoxiao.
¡°How did you get engaged out of the blue? It¡¯s impossible, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed as she said, ¡°It¡¯s a pity we¡¯re only engaged and have no engagement certificate.¡±
Of course, she only said this in jest. Even if there was one, she wouldn¡¯t take it out to show anyone just to prove it to them.
She didn¡¯t care whether anyone believed her or not.
Just as the atmosphere in the room was getting weird, Han Qiqing walked in as well. ¡°Xiaoxiao, which room do you like more? Eh, this room doesn¡¯t seem bad.¡±
Su Lin turned around and stared at Han Qiqing. ¡°I saw this room first.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s lip curled downwards and she decided not to care about Su Lin anymore. She said to Han Qiqing, ¡°I¡¯ve already chosen this room together with Jie. You should choose another.¡±
¡°You and¡ Yin Shaojie?¡± Han Qiqing¡¯s gaze was suggestive as she teased, ¡°You¡¯re already cohabiting and staying together everyday. Surely there¡¯s no need for you to stay together when you¡¯re out for fun too, right? It¡¯s not like you two are attached at the hip.¡±
¡°It¡¯s none of your business. Hurry up and get out and pick your room. It¡¯s going to be gathering time soon.¡±
Han Qiqing saw her gaze and grabbed onto Su Lin conveniently. She said, ¡°Su Lin, don¡¯t disturb the couple already. If you don¡¯t go downstairs to choose, there won¡¯t be any more rooms for you.¡±
Actually, Song Shijun had no other room to choose anymore. This was because Song Shijun had already chosen a room on the second floor and Han Qiqing would naturally choose a room on the second floor as well.
Thus, Su Lin could only take a room on the first floor.
Su Lin was a little reluctant to be dragged out by her. ¡°Let me go. Don¡¯t touch me.¡±
Han Qiqing was practically dragging her against her will and eventually got Su Lin out.
Mu Xiaoxiao threw herself onto the bed and sighed. ¡°Why must we stay in the same cottage as her? It¡¯s annoying.¡±
It was originally a happy thing that everyone coulde out to y together but a wet nket had to appear to ruin the fun.
Yin Shaojiey beside her with an arm around her waist. ¡°Just ignore her.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. Turning around, she pressed her face into his chest.
¡°I¡¯ll take a short nap. Wake me up when it¡¯s time to gather.¡±
¡
On the second floor.
Han Qiqing snuck into the adjacent room after putting her luggage in her room.
¡°Haha, you missed a good show upstairs just now. When Su Lin found out that Xiaoxiao and Shaojie were engaged, her expression was so freaking funny!¡±
Song Shijun, who had been ying with his phone on his bed, sat up.
¡°She only knows about it now?¡± Song Shijun said uprehendingly. ¡°I thought she¡¯d known for ages. Isn¡¯t that why she returned here.¡±
Han Qiqing shrugged. ¡°I don¡¯t know. Maybe she¡¯s only pretending to not know? I feel that Su Lin¡¯s a little¡ weird. Don¡¯t you think so?¡±
¡°No?¡±
¡°Yes!¡± She nodded surely.
Song Shijun said, ¡°Even if she is, the most she¡¯ll do is feel some resentment, and she won¡¯t do anything else.¡±
¡°I hope so. I just feel that hering back isn¡¯t a good thing,¡± Han Qiqing said,ying on his bed. Watching the ceiling, she sighed.
Song Shijuny down as well. He asked, ¡°Have you girls chosen your rooms?¡±
Han Qiqing said gloomily, ¡°Choose, your head! Xiaoxiao¡¯s been dragged off to a room with Yin Shaojie, and Xiaomeng¡¯s probably rooming with Ye Sijue, so I¡¯m all alone¡¡±

She looked sad as she said, ¡°They even said that we were going to room together, but they abandoned me in the end, valuing sex over friendship!¡±
Song Shijun smiled, ¡°I predicted this long ago.¡±
¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me about it then! I was looking forward to it¡¡± Han Qiqing turned around and red at him.
¡°You¡¯re just stupid. You can¡¯t even think of this? By the way, which room did Shaojie and Xiaoxiao choose?¡±
¡°The room right above yours.¡±
Song Shijun¡¯s face froze. ¡°The room right above¡ this?¡±
He sat up suddenly. Smiling at her pleasantly, he said, ¡°Qiqing, can we exchange rooms?¡±
¡°No!¡± Han Qiqing rejected him immediately. Even though she didn¡¯t know why he wanted to switch rooms with her, her subconscious told her that it wasn¡¯t a good thing and she naturally declined.
Song Shijun¡¯s face fell as he tugged at her. ¡°Let¡¯s switch rooms, please, Qiqing. Take it as helping me out this once and exchange rooms with me, okay?¡±
The gears in Han Qiqing¡¯s head turned. She sat up and asked, ¡°Tell me why you want to switch rooms first. If I find your reasoning reasonable, I¡¯ll consider switching rooms with you.¡±
Song Shijun sighed as he pointed upstairs. ¡°Say, they¡¯re both right above me. If they do¡ it at night, and create a huge fuss, how am I supposed to endure it as a guy?¡±
At first, Han Qiqing didn¡¯t understand and she froze. Once she did, her face turned an unnatural shade of red.
¡°Won¡¯t it be even more awkward for me as a girl? No way! I¡¯m not switching rooms!¡±
¡°Qiqing, are you going to leave me for the dead?¡±
Han Qiqing jumped up from his bed hurriedly and tired to run for her room. ¡°The first rule of saving someone is to make sure you don¡¯t perish while doing it!¡±
However, Song Shijun grabbed her, preventing her from escaping and pressed her against his bed.
¡°Then¡ can I go to your room to sleep with you? I just don¡¯t want to sleep in this room!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t even think about it!¡±
¡°Qiqing, you¡¯re the best, please help me out.¡±
¡°No!¡±
When they were bickering, they didn¡¯t notice that Su Lin had been passing by their room.
She looked as if she was about to raise her hand to knock, but upon seeing the scene in the room, her hand froze in mid air and she didn¡¯t knock.
There was a couple upstairs and here was another pair. She was the only one alone¡
Su Lin looked unhappy. She shot a re at the two figures on the bed and turned around to leave.
Suddenly, Han Qiqing shouted. In one swift motion, she pushed Song Shijun away and sat up.
She red at him. ¡°Are you dumb?¡±
¡°What!¡± Song Shijun didn¡¯t know why he had been scolded.
Han Qiqing rolled her eyes at him. ¡°Aren¡¯t we going over to the valley to camp tonight? We¡¯re not going to sleep in the rooms. Why are you worrying about this? Idiot!¡±
She pushed his head with her head in disdain.
Song Shijun saw the light. ¡°Oh right! We¡¯re camping at night! Wait, how are they going to split the tents?¡±
The two of them looked at each other.
It was obvious that Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao were going to sleep in a tent and that Mo Xiaomeng would definitely be dragged off to a tent by Ye Sijue. Thus, the two of them were leftovers.
Song Shijun pursed his lips, trying not tough. ¡°Qiqing, aren¡¯t you afraid of ghosts? Do you dare to sleep in a tent alone?¡±
Han Qiqing frowned and pped his arm. ¡°Don¡¯t say that word!¡±
¡°It¡¯s broad daylight now, what are you scared of?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t say it even in daylight!¡± Han Qiqing felt scared at the mere mention of the word ¡°ghost¡±.
However, the question that he had proposed was something really problematic for her!

Han Qiqing frowned and said pitifully, ¡°What are we going to do then?¡±
She didn¡¯t dare to sleep on her own in a tent while they were out camping!
It was scary to think about it, okay?
What if something ran into her tent in the middle of the night?
Her hairs stood on end as she imagined the scene.
Song Shijun shrugged. ¡°How am I supposed to know? Just do as you see fit~¡±
Han Qiqing sighed and threw herself back onto the bed.
What should she do¡
She looked over at Song Shijun. Must she really sleep with this guy in the same tent?
¡ª¡ª¡ª
The crowd gathered on the spaciouswn ording to their sses. They were addressed by the Student Union in front of them.
¡°The first activity for our autumn outing is ¡ª Real Life Counter-Strike! Everyone can form their own teams, no matter your ss or Year. However, there can be no more than five people per team. The team that wins in the end will get a special reward!¡±
This was the first highlight of the autumn outing!
The Year Two students asked excitedly, ¡°What¡¯s the reward?¡±
The Year Ones were confused as to why the Year Twos were so excited. Someone from the former group went over to ask them about it.
They then knew that the reward was something extraordinary!
The reward wasn¡¯t an ordinary gift or prize money. It was a reward that could not be bought with money.
A bold Year Two girl shouted, ¡°Can the prize this time be Young Master Jie¡¯s kiss?¡±
Once this sentence was out, the crowd became excited.
¡°A dinner with Young Master Jie, a candlelit dinner!¡±
¡°An all-day date with Young Master Jie!¡±
¡°A request for Young Master Jie!¡±
The reason everyone was so daring might be because¡ Yin Shaojie was the President of the Student Union and he might very well agree to give out such rewards.
Upon hearing these words, Yin Shaojie smirked and walked out. The crowd quieted as he lifted a hand.
He looked towards Mu Xiaoxiao before addressing the crowd, ¡°I don¡¯t mind, but¡ I already have a girlfriend and in order for me to not get punished when I return at night, I¡¯m unable to grant all these requests.
The crowd grumbled with pity, and there were more than a few girls who red at Mu Xiaoxiao with resentment.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked helpless. She had mysteriously be the target of public criticism.
Just then, the boys used this opportunity to shout, ¡°We want a kiss from Miss Su Lin!¡±
¡°Yes! We want an all-day date with Miss Su Lin!¡±
¡°We hope to have dinner with Miss Su Lin!¡±
The girls shushed the boys. Copying their words ¡ª what ack of creativity!
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s kiss!¡±
A person suddenly shouted.
The boisterous crowd suddenly quietened in an instant.
The crowd all turned to look at the person who spoke.
The person had only said that in the middle of his excitement as a joke. He had not thought that he would be the center of attention and he looked stunned.
In front of them, Yin Shaojie¡¯s cold gaze shot to him. ¡°What did you say? Say that again!¡±
The boy trembled and shook his head and waved his hands hurriedly, ¡°N-Nothing, Young Master Jie, I was only joking.¡±
His forehead broke out in cold sweat and he was panicking really badly. He was going to be punished badly!
¡°You¡¯re using my woman to joke around?¡± The Great Master Yin smiled, but his gaze turned even more dangerous.
The boy practically shrank into a microorganism, and his head looked as if it was about to fall off from shaking so much. ¡°N-No, n-no, I wouldn¡¯t dare!¡±
The students around him looked as though they were watching a good show.
After all, Young Master Jie was not someone who should be provoked. Offending him was akin to courting death!

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
In contrast, the rest looked solemn and didn¡¯t dare to speak for fear of provoking the Great Master Yin again.
On the other hand, Mo Xiaomeng, who was beside Mu Xiaoxiao, wasughing to the point where she copsed in Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s embrace.
She thought this was so interesting! It was too amusing!
Han Qiqing was originally supposed to be at the Year Two¡¯s area, but she was beside Mo Xiaomeng. With three pretty girls sitting together, they naturally formed a beautiful scene.
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s tinklingughter attracted the attention of the boys.
There were more than a few boys who craned their necks and stared at the three of them. They were such eye candy! It would be a waste not to look at them as much as possible.
They whispered to each other in low tones.
¡°Who¡¯s that beside Mu Xiaoxiao? She¡¯s so exquisite looking, like a doll! She¡¯s so beautiful!¡±
¡°I noticed her long ago. That girl is really close to Young Master Ye. Could she be his cousin?¡±
¡°But why does she seem so close with Mu Xiaoxiao? They look like they have a good rtionship. Wow, she looks so cute when she¡¯s smiling! I really want to carry her home!¡±
¡°Actually, Mu Xiaoxiao is pretty too¡¡±
¡°Shush! Do you not want to live? Do you really dare to covet Young Master Jie¡¯s girl? Are you trying to follow in that other guy¡¯s footsteps?¡±
Thus, no one dared to discuss Mu Xiaoxiao anymore, but turned their conversation towards Mo Xiaomeng.
Everyone was waiting to see how Young Master Jie would handle this boy.
Yin Shaojie lifted his head and looked over to Mu Xiaoxiao. He realized that the girls were not focused in the present moment, but we¡¯re instead talking about something else andughing hysterically.
His anger simmered down at little at this sight.
However, it didn¡¯t mean that he was going to let this go.
He looked over the crowd. They read the mood, stopped talking, and looked towards him.
¡°Since this student gave his suggestion so enthusiastically, let¡¯s make him the reward.¡±
The crowd was stunned. What did he mean?
Make that boy the reward?
No one wanted his kiss or a date with him!
This wasn¡¯t a reward; it was more like a punishment!
Yin Shaojie¡¯s gorgeous lips smirked and his dark eyes shone with scheming as he said, ¡°The reward this time is this: The winning team will get to have this ssmate as the team¡¯s ve for one day. What does everyone think? Isn¡¯t it interesting?¡±
The crowd was speechless.
Even if no one found that interesting, no one would dare to say so!
Thus, everyone said obsequiously, ¡°It is!¡±
The boy looked as if he was about to cry, but didn¡¯t dare to object.
Yin Shaojie nodded satisfactorily. ¡°It¡¯s decided then. This reward is actually something extra. The reward that the Student Union is giving out is that the winning team will be given a chance to join the Student Union.¡±
After these words were said, the crowd was in an uproar.
¡°Really? Can we really get into the Student Union?¡±
What did it mean to be in Shangde¡¯s Student Union?
The Student Union was a gathering of students from the most influential backgrounds. More importantly, entering the Student Union meant that there were more chances to interact with the cream of the crop of the wealthy families!
Thus, this piece of news got everyone fired up. Everyone¡¯s fighting spirit rose up for they wanted to win so that they could get the highly coveted Student Union membership.
After Yin Shaojie finished his speech, he walked over to where Mu Xiaoxiao was.
However, someone was faster than him and had already appeared before Mu Xiaoxiao and called out to her. ¡°Xiaoxiao, are you interested in a match with me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head when she heard the voice, and realized it was Su Lin speaking.
¡°A match?¡±
Chapter 708 - She Hasn’t Given Up
Chapter 708: She Hasn¡¯t Given Up
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Su Lin smiled gently, as though she meant no harm at all. She said, ¡°You and I will lead one team each, and regardless of who emerges victorious in thepetition, Ii¡¯s just a match between you and I to see who wins in the end. How does that sound?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao dusted her pants off and stood up from the grass. Looking at her, she said, ¡°Okay, that sounds interesting. Are you going to propose to add something like a bet?¡±
It was as if she had seen through Su Lin¡¯s intentions as she grinned, her eyes shining with the craftiness of a fox.
Su Lin¡¯s smile deepened and she showed no distress if her motive had been exposed. She even agreed, saying, ¡°A bet sounds good. It¡¯s more exciting this way. What shall we bet on?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao crossed her arms as she observed her act. ¡°Have you not already thought of it? Just spit it out. What do you want to bet on?¡±
Su Lin had a penchant for snatching away what was hers ever since they were young.
No one else knew about this but Mu Xiaoxiao had felt this way a little.
Su Lin was a good actress. She was always smiling, so that no one could tell what her motives were.
Su Linughed as she said, ¡°Xiaoxiao, there¡¯s no need to look so serious. We¡¯re only ying. As for the bet¡ it doesn¡¯t need to be something big. How about this: If I win, you will give me the room that I want. If you win, the room will be yours. What do you say?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s lips curled downwards.
She still hadn¡¯t given up on the room?
Also, she delivered her words cleverly by saying that the room was something that she had taken a fancy to. If anyone heard her, they would think that she was a really generous person for letting her have the room.
Han Qiqing stood by Mu Xiaoxiao and tugged at her arm. She whispered into her ear, ¡°Don¡¯t bet with her. She seems to have prepared for this.¡±
Anyone would think that the odds were in Su Lin¡¯s favor upon seeing her confident expression.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s favorite thing to do right now was¡ putting people to shame.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded. ¡°Sure, let¡¯s bet.¡±
Han Qiqing looked at her worriedly. ¡°Xiaoxiao! Why are you¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao waved her concern off, and Han Qiqing stopped talking.
Su Lin smiled as she got the answer she wanted. ¡°It¡¯s a bet then. However, there¡¯s a catch. Since Shaojie is the President of the Student Union, he can¡¯t help you to make things fair.¡±
So what if he was the President of the Student Union?
Did it imply that he would be a pro at this then?
Mu Xiaoxiao sneered unhappily internally, but still nodded. She said deliberately, ¡°Sure. I wasn¡¯t nning to get him to interfere. It¡¯s only you I have to deal with, so me going against you is enough. There¡¯s no need for him.¡±
Su Lin scowled.
There was electricity in the air as they red at each other.
Nearby, An Zhixin looked on this scene. Her emotions wereplicated and so was her gaze.
The girls in front of her said mockingly, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao is so arrogant! How dare she get into a match with Miss Su Lin? Look at her status and then look at Miss Su Lin¡¯s status! If she wasn¡¯t Young Master Jie¡¯s girlfriend, she wouldn¡¯t even have the right to talk to Miss Su Lin!¡±
¡°I know, right? Mu Xiaoxiao thinks that she¡¯s turned from a sparrow to a phoenix just because she has Young Master Jie¡¯s adoration, and she even dared to raise a mour with Miss Su Lin! She¡¯s courting death and biting off more than she can chew!¡±
¡°Hehe, let¡¯s watch how she makes a fool of herself!¡±
An Zhixin¡¯s mind was in a trance after listening to these.
Was this really true?

Chapter 709: Not Any Less Imposing Than Her
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
She looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and Su Lin in front of her. Both of them were looking at each other. Mu Xiaoxiao was still grinning and showed no signs of retreating. Her dark, bright eyes were sparkling brightly as though this was a very amusing situation.
An Zhixin¡¯s emotions welled up within her and she was ovee by jealousy.
Why?
Why was Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s manner not any less imposing when she was against a rich young missy such as Su Lin?
Were the girls who werementing blind? Couldn¡¯t they see this?
Since when did Mu Xiaoxiao look like she was biting off more than she could chew?
She looked totally confident!
Why?
What right did she have?!
Why did Mu Xiaoxiao not feel inferior by her difference in status with Su Lin?
An Zhixin¡¯s thoughts were confused. She held her head with her hands and squatted down.
¡
Because there were many people, the area for the activity was bigger as well. The activity was set tost for two hours.
Without Yin Shaojie on her team, there were five of her friends left. She didn¡¯t dare to trust anyone else either for fear that Su Lin had already bribed them to be on her side, and thus she formed a team with her friends.
Originally, Ye Sijue didn¡¯t want to be involved in a bet between two girls but Mo Xiaomeng had looked very excited and wanted to participate, even saying that she wanted to help Xiaoxiao win thepetition. He frowned as he looked at her slim arms and legs and decided to help instead.
Beside him, Han Qiqing said, ¡°Sijue, we¡¯re counting on you, so you can¡¯t leave! Our team will lose half our battle strength without you.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng looked at Ye Sijue, puzzled. ¡°Why? Do you not want to y? This seems fun. Let¡¯s y together!¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t say that I wasn¡¯t ying.¡± He could only say this as he looked at her hopeful face.
Mo Xiaomeng was delighted. She pumped a fist in the air and said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Xiaoxiao, we will win this!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao returned her smile. ¡°Of course!¡±
Yin Shaojie was helping her with her outfit and he turned her head around bossily. Looking at her with his ck eyes, he nagged, ¡°The most important thing is to protect yourself first. Even though the bullets won¡¯t hurt if they hit you, you have to be careful not to let them hit your eye. Also, don¡¯t be too focused on shooting at people. You have to pay attention to your defences because it¡¯s only if you don¡¯t die that you¡¯ll¡¡±
¡°Aiyoh, stop nagging at me. My head is hurting. I know all of this already.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked indifferent.
Yin Shaojie harrumphed at her. After he was done helping her, he hit her head with a curled finger and said, ¡°Have you yed this before? Do you even know how to y this? You agreed to this bet without thinking things through. Be careful that you¡¯re not stirring a ho¡¯s nest!¡±
Did she really think that she could win without his help?
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled as her pink lips curled up, but she didn¡¯t tell him that she had indeed yed this before.
It was interesting to see him worry over her and she wanted to continue looking at this expression.
She pursed her lips and said deliberately, ¡°What can I do? She¡¯s already issued the challenge. Should I have retreated? That¡¯s not my style! That¡¯d be her win! And so what if I lose? I¡¯ll just give her that room since she likes it so much. We¡¯re going camping at night anyway, and not sleeping in our rooms.¡±
Did Su Lin think that it meant something if she snatched that room away?
It was hrious!
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes shed with a devilish glint as she smiled. ¡°Say, how will she feel if she doesn¡¯t see use back tonight, and realizes that she has to sleep alone in the cottage?¡±
Chapter 710 - Not An Ordinary Kind of Handsome!
Chapter 710: Not An Ordinary Kind of Handsome!
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°You ah~¡± Yin Shaojie pinched her smooth little cheek.
Mu Xiaoxiao pulled his hand off and said brightly, ¡°This is the time when you tell me to rx and that¡¯s it¡¯s just a game and so I should enjoy myself! Why should I care if I win or lose?¡±
Yin Shaojie was tickled pinked by her words. He didn¡¯t expect himself to be lectured by this little girl.
However, what she said made sense. Having fun was most important.
¡°Alright, so long as you¡¯re having fun.¡± He ruffled her hair.
¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled joyfully as she leapt towards him and gave him a hug.
The pair swayed as they hugged.
After Song Shijun got his equipment on, he lifted his gun in what he thought was a dashing pose and said to Han Qiqing, ¡°How¡¯s this? Handsome, huh?¡±
¡°Yes, very!¡± Han Qiqing nodded, but her gaze was on Ye Sijue.
She had to admit that Ye Sijue didn¡¯t look like an ordinary handsome guy when he was outfitted in Counter-Strike battlegear!
He had a naturally devilish aura, and his almond eyes always held a cool gaze. When he wore such a uniform, his masculine aura was even more prominent.
Han Qiqing sighed a little ruefully andined, ¡°Why didn¡¯t the Year Threese? I really want to see how Lu Yichen looks like in this uniform!¡±
She was about to go crazy with infatuation at the mere thought of it!
Song Shijun looked at her with displeasure as he said, ¡°Han Qiqing, can¡¯t you look at me too? I¡¯m also very handsome!¡±
Please, even though he was no match for Yin Shaojie and Ye Sijue, he was still a hunk, okay?
Han Qiqing turned around and shot him a look, nodding perfunctorily. ¡°Very handsome, very handsome.¡±
Song Shijun blocked her view with his gun. ¡°Help me take a picture if I¡¯m handsome. Hurry!¡±
Annoyed by him, Han Qiqing had no other choice but to take his phone from him and snap a few photos of him.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she looked at them. ¡°Oh yeah, let¡¯s take a group photo!¡±
¡°Sure, sure.¡±
Thus, they got a student to help out and the six of them stood together.
Mu Xiaoxiao beamed sweetly as she wrapped an arm around Yin Shaojie¡¯s waist.
Ye Sijue wrapped Mo Xiaomeng in his embrace, looking possessive.
Han Qiqing and Song Shijun were back to back, posing like the best pair of partners in crime.
Snap!
The phone captured this warm and sweet moment.
In the distant future they would smile as they looked at this photo and recall the memories of their youth when they had a reunion.
Nothing beats the good memories of youth.
Nearby, a properly outfitted Su Lin clenched her fists, gaze darkening as she watched this scene.
When Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t around, she had been a member of their clique. However, she now felt as if she was an outsider.
The game would start in five minutes.
Before that, the teams needed to find a ce to hide.
Mu Xiaoxiao said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll be going now. Wait for our victorious return!¡±
She was about to turn around when Yin Shaojie pulled her back.
Then, something soft pressed against her lips.
Yin Shaojie had given her a quick kiss before releasing her. He smiled proudly as he said, ¡°My great wifey, you have to win! If you do, I¡¯ll give you a special reward tonight.¡±
¡°I will!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and shed him an ¡°OK¡± sign.
Mu Xiaoxiao then led her team into the woods.
Yin Shaojie patted Ye Sijue on his shoulder. ¡°I¡¯m counting on you.¡±
There were only two boys, Ye Sijue and Song Shijun, on their team, so their victory would depend on these two.

Ye Sijue smirked. He looked at Mu Xiaoxiao in front and said, ¡°I don¡¯t think you need to worry.¡±
With that said, he tugged Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s hand and pulled her along.
Yin Shaojie stood behind them and watched them leave.
Five minutes passed and the game began.
Su Lin was very smart. She had already picked out four impressive boys from either the basketball or taekwondo team. They were all agile and had excellent reflexes.
¡°Remember, our target is Mu Xiaoxiao. The most important thing is to defeat her, understood?¡±
¡°Understood!¡±
¡°Good, now let¡¯s go find her!¡±
Even though they met other people on the way, Su Lin didn¡¯t have to do anything as she was protected by the four boys around her who took care of them.
However, perhaps it was due to bad luck, but they didn¡¯t manage to bump into Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s team.
Meanwhile.
A team walked cautiously across the forest. Unexpectedly, bullets came out from nowhere and shots were fired, annihting the team.
¡°Hahahaha¡¡± the air rang out with tinklingughter.
The team was stunned and didn¡¯t know who had killed them.
¡°What¡¯re you still doing here? Hurry up and go away if you¡¯re dead! Are you nning to y dead on the ground? The air rang out with a girl¡¯s voice.
Someone recognized it and eximed, ¡°It sounds like Mu Xiaoxiao!¡±
¡°Really? Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s that pro?¡±
¡°We¡¯ve been ambushed! That¡¯s crafty!¡±
Even though they were reluctant to, this team could only leave for their campsite while feeling down in the dumps.
Coincidentally, Su Lin heard about how they had been ambushed by Mu Xiaoxiao as theyined about it angrily on their way back.
Su Lin looked towards the front and narrowed her eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao, I¡¯ve finally found you.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s right in front. We¡¯ll go in stealthily. Don¡¯t let them see us.¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
On the other hand, Mu Xiaoxiao was unaware of the approaching danger and had just gotten down from the tree, dusting her hands.
¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you? This method is tried and tested,¡± she announced proudly.
Two of the five people on the team had been shot down by her.
Song Shijun gave her a thumbs up. ¡°Pro!¡±
Actually, what surprised him the most was the uracy of Xiaoxiao¡¯s aim.
¡°Say, Xiaoxiao, did you y this in America frequently? Why are you such a good shot?¡±
Han Qiqing rest an arm on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s shoulder and asked curiously, ¡°I¡¯ve yed this a few time before too, but had a hard time aiming properly. Why do I feel like you hit your target so true even though you¡¯re not aiming properly?¡±
Mo Xiaomengughed her heart out. She said in a proud tone as though she wasplimenting her, ¡°That¡¯s because Xiaoxiao¡¯s above them, so it¡¯s easier to aim properly. Also, those people didn¡¯t have any defences and they didn¡¯t dodge, so wasn¡¯t hard to hit shots.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao snapped her fingers and pointed to her little head. She said proudly, ¡°The most important thing when ying such games isn¡¯t the uracy of the aim, but the¡ strategy! Do you understand?¡±
With five to a team, and so many Year Ones and Twos, there would be tens of teams. Thus, they had to have a strategy if they wanted to win this game.
Strategy, such as their ambush earlier, was how they annihted three teams.
¡°Alright, let¡¯s change our locat¡ª¡±
Before Mu Xiaoxiao could speak, she heard a gunshot and a bullet flew towards her.
And before anyone could react the bullet hit Han Qiqing who was right in front of Xiaoxiao.

Han Qiqing was stunned. Looking at her shoulder where she had been hit, there was some powder in a circr shape indicating that she had been hit.
She said dejectedly, ¡°I won¡¯t die if I¡¯m only hit in the shoulder, right?¡±
Ye Sijue frowned and shouted sharply, ¡°Hide quickly!¡±
The few of them quickly hid behind a tree trunk and a box.
Only Han Qiqing was left standing idly in the same ce.
Bang! Bang! She was hit in the back.
Han Qiqing turned back and howled angrily, ¡°I¡¯m already dead! And you¡¯re still shooting! Have you no moral sensibility! Don¡¯t you know how to respect the ¡®dead¡¯?¡±
The other party didn¡¯t answer as if no one was there.
Han Qiqing cursed under her breath, ¡°Cowards!¡±
She brushed away the powder on her shoulders and walked to the side. Looking reluctant at Mu Xiaoxiao and the rest, she said, ¡°You must avenge me, alright?¡±
Song Shijun gave her an OK gesture while Mu Xiaoxiao and Mo Xiaomeng nodded.
But Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t bear to leave, wanting to continue watching them.
Argh, f*ck it!
She would rather lie on the ground as a corpse than walk off now!
Thus, she found a tree, leaned against it and sat, pretending to be a corpse.
As long as she didn¡¯t say anything, didn¡¯t interrupt the game, and observed as an audience, it should be fine, right?
There were no voices. The air was silent, and only the sound of the rustling leaves could be heard.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s team looked at each other. Because it wasn¡¯t convenient to talk as they were afraid that the other parties would hear, so they could only use simple hand gestures.
However¡ Song Shijun couldn¡¯t understand what she meant, and he mouthed¡ª¡±What?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him, ignored him, and shifted her gaze toward Ye Sijue.
Then, footfalls drew near.
Upon noticing them, she squatted down. Then, a powder bullet sshed onto the tree trunk where she had been just a moment ago.
She patted her chest frightfully. She had almost ¡®died¡¯.
An idea struck her, and she shouted out, ¡°Su Lin, is that you? Let¡¯s y honorably. Tell me if you¡¯re there. Is there any fun in hiding and scheming against me?¡±
A few secondster, Su Lin¡¯s voice was heard.
¡°Weren¡¯t you scheming up on other people just now? How do you like the taste of being schemed against? Isn¡¯t it fun?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth. It was her!
What should she do then?
She looked to Ye Sijue anxiously.
Ye Sijue shook his head at her, telling her to wait patiently. Based on the sounds he picked up on, it seemed that there were quite a few enemies, numbering more than five.
It meant that Su Lin had also roped in other teams to help her.
However, Su Lin was very shrewd. She didn¡¯t want to give them the opportunity to think up countermeasures, so she signaled the boys to attack.
Mu Xiaoxiao cursed as soon as she saw the number of enemies approaching.
Ridiculous. There were so many of them!
¡°Su Lin, you cheated!¡±
Su Linughed, ¡°Heheh. It¡¯s not against the rules. We¡¯re only cooperating.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao knew that she had miscalcted. She had been ying too recklessly just now, forgetting to think up a n to deal with Su Lin. Now, she was in trouble. She was surrounded.
Ye Sijue protected Mo Xiaomeng and let her hide in the corner behind the tree trunk and the wooden box.
He eliminated several people with precise shots.
But there were still too many enemies.
Just when Mu Xiaoxiao though it was helpless she heard a few clean gunshots. Then powder scattered in the air as four people were taken out.
One of the boys raged. ¡°Who shot me!¡±
There was a flurry of gunshots, but they didn¡¯t find the person who was shooting at them. With each passing moment more and more of them were being knocked out of them game.

Then, Ye Sijue shot a look to Song Shijun, and the two took the opportunity to take out a few more of the enemies.
Seeing how things were ying out, Su Lin was beginning to get anxious. ¡°Don¡¯t bother with that other person! The priority is to take out Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s team!¡±
She checked herself and continued to say in a gentler voice, ¡°But be careful. Don¡¯t get taken out. Go get ¡¯em. We must win!¡±
Her words ignited the boys¡¯ fighting spirit.
Miss Su Lin was their goddess. To be selected by their goddess, and be together in battle, was something that they could never have dreamed of
And Su Lin had also promised them that if they were to win the game, they would be treated to dinner, and she would thank each of them individually. She would even pick three among them go on a date with her.
Thest item she had promised was the real reason behind their ardor.
¡°Got it! Miss Su Lin, we¡¯ll definitely win! We must win!¡±
¡°Yes! Win!¡±
The boys shouted in unison. Suddenly, they seemed menacing.
Some of these people often y this type of games, so they were familiar with the typical tactics and knew how toe up with tactics themselves.
They split themselves into two teams, one team to defend against the mysterious person and one team to attack Mu Xiaoxiao.
Song Shijun saw that the situation had be more unfavorable for them. Then he looked to Ye Sijue anxiously and asked in a whisper, ¡°What should we do now? We have been hiding here, and sooner orter we will be caught like a turtle in a jar.¡±
Ye Sijue replied, ¡°We can only take them out one by one.¡±
Fortunately, because of the confusion, the enemies had gone down in number, taking some pressure off of them.
Ye Sijue closed his eyes and listened carefully in the wind as if he was attempting to pick up on something.
He made a gesture to Mu Xiaoxiao, indicating that there were about a dozen enemies split into roughly three teams.
Mu Xiaoxiao calcted. If there were about fifteen enemies and only four on their side, plus the mysterious person, making five, it was five versus fifteen! It was too dangerous!
And was the mysterious person really helping her? Would he betray her in the end?
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t dare to trust anyone other than the people on her team.
Just as the three were exchanging signaling nces, a gunshot sounded near Ye Sijue.
An enemy closing up on him was taken out.
The three looked to Mo Xiaomeng in unison.
Song Shijun was dumbfounded. ¡°You¡¡±
This doll-like, pretty girl was actually so good with guns?
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s sweet voice was lowered, but she said fearlessly, ¡°We can¡¯t stay here and wait to die. We must be on the attack! We¡¯ll hit them until they don¡¯t even dare toe near us!¡±
Song Shijun puffed out augh, and he nodded vigorously. ¡°Yea yea yea! Let¡¯s do this!¡±
So what if they were trapped like turtles in a jar?
As long as they could hit the enemies so hard that they would not even dare to approach them, that¡¯d be good enough, right?
If they were to continue this deadlock and reduce the enemies one by one the enemy would soon lose their advantage.
Ye Sijue gazed at Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s little face and ruffled her hair, amused.
¡°Don¡¯t mess up my hair,¡± Mo Xiaomeng protested softly.
However, something came over Ye Sijue as his eyes darkened and his gaze fixed on her soft lips.
I¡¯ll make you into a messter at night.
Images of passion flitted through his mind and he couldn¡¯t stop himself from smirking

Mo Xiaomeng didn¡¯t notice the dark change in his eyes, not to mention how close his tall body was to her, so much so that his manly scent had been engulfing her.
Her focus was on the enemies. As she peered out from the gap between the wooden box and the tree trunk, she said to him, ¡°They¡¯re getting closer!¡±
Song Shijun was closer to Mu Xiaoxiao and asked curiously. ¡°Xiaoxiao, why is Xiaomeng so urate? It seems like she¡¯s even better than you!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him.
The enemies wereing, and he still had time for this?
She thought for a moment and replied perfunctorily, ¡°She yed more of these games so she¡¯s more experienced.¡±
She couldn¡¯t simply tell him that Mo Xiaomeng had yed with more guns then he had shot bullets, could she?
Moreover, the ones that Mo Xiaomeng yed with were real guns, unlike these powder bullets that wouldn¡¯t even hurt when hit.
It wasn¡¯t convenient for her to talk about Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s family.
It was a dire situation. They were outnumbered. However urate they were, there was still a chance of being hit by stray shots.
She had to admit that Su Lin was pretty smart indeed. Though the rules said that there should be five to a team, there were no rules against cooperating. They definitely had a better chance of winning by forming alliances with other teams.
The gun battle continued. The enemies didn¡¯t dare to get too close, and both sides fired through the cover.
But they couldn¡¯t just continue like this.
Su Lin calcted, then she leaned close to a boy and told him to quietly take about three people and attack from behind Mu Xiaoxiao so that they could attack them on all four fronts.
In the middle of the deadlock, the boys finally crept up behind Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s location.
They took the initiative and shot at Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°Be careful!¡± Song Shijun just happened to catch sight of enemies behind him and quickly warned Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao dodged the first and second shot, but she couldn¡¯t dodge the third shot.
Seeing that she was about to be shot, Song Shijun threw himself in front of her, resolutely taking a bullet for her.
Song Shijun, OUT!
¡°Xiaoxiao, here!¡± Ye Sijue shouted.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t had the time to thank Song Shijun.
She ran over and huddled with Mo Xiaomeng.
Though it was a good position, the enemies were attacking on all sides and they had nowhere else to run.
¡°I don¡¯t want to die!¡± Song Shijun wailed as he spread his hands andid down.
The boys kept shooting from behind Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s position to no avail.
Then, out of nowhere, bullets flew and hit them urately.
It all happened in a few seconds but three enemies were taken out.
The three boys were all stunned as they looked at each other. They were all bewildered. Where did those shotse from?
And what was most incredible was that there were no bulletsnding beside them. There were only three shots fired.
Three shots killed three people!
That was just too urate!
One of the boys gasped at the notion, ¡°Could that be¡ Young Master Jie?¡±
¡°That¡¯s not possible, right? Wasn¡¯t he not supposed to join in the game?¡±
¡°If it¡¯s not him, who do you think would be able to shoot so urately?¡±
Although Ye Sijue was also very strong, he couldn¡¯t have made those shots from his position so it couldn¡¯t be Ye Sijue.
So¡ Who was the person secretly helping Mu Xiaoxiao?
After taking out the enemies who came from the back, Mu Xiaoxiao heaved a breath of relief. But it was only temporary as the crisis wasn¡¯t over yet.
Song Shijun climbed up grudgingly and walked over to Han Qiqing, copying her as he leaned against the tree trunk.

Chapter 715: You¡¯re Not A Spy, Are You?Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
He also didn¡¯t want to leave. He wanted to y dead and watch the game.
Han Qiqing was utterly curious, her eyes darting around as she whispered to him, ¡°Shijun, who¡¯s helping us?¡±
Song Shijun shrugged. ¡°How would I know? It can¡¯t be Shaojie, can it?¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s eyes were like radar as she scanned the surroundings.
She seemed to have an intuition that the person was hiding in the trees. Thus, from the start, she had been looking up to scan every tree.
Finally, she saw something, excitedly tapped on Song Shijun and couldn¡¯t stop herself from eximing, ¡°He¡¯s up there!¡±
In that instant, everyone turned to look at the direction where she was pointing.
Song Shijun could not cover her mouth in time.
He rolled his eyes at her. ¡°Han Qiqing, you¡¯re not a spy sent here by Su Lin, are you?¡±
She actually leaked such important information!
Han Qiqing stared nkly for a moment. Finally, she realized the stupid thing she had done and looked at him in a panic. ¡°I didn¡¯t mean it! What should I do? Oh yeah, I¡¯m already dead, right? So even if they hear what I said, they have to pretend not to hear, right? It can¡¯t count!¡±
Song Shijun unsure whether tough or cry, ¡°What do you think?¡±
¡°What should we do?¡± Han Qiqing looked sullen.
What else could they do?
Now that the position of the mysterious person had been given away, their chances of turning the tables on the enemy had dropped seriously!
Sure enough, Su Lin immediately ordered an attack on the position where Han Qiqing had revealed. Even if they were random shots, they had to take out the person secretly helping them.
Without this mysterious person, there would only be three people left on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s side. Then it would be a simple turkey shoot!
But Ye Sijue wouldn¡¯t simply sit around and wait to die. Just when the enemies were concentrating their fire on the mysterious person, he signaled Mu Xiaoxiao and Mo Xiaomeng to shoot at them.
Then, it was another round of firefights.
Perhaps it was luck, or heaven¡¯s protection, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s team had not taken a single casualty. Whereas for Su Lin, the people on her side had been taken out one by one. Finally, there were only a few boys left who were protecting her.
¡°Miss Su Lin, what now?¡±
Su Lin couldn¡¯t maintain her elegant poise anymore, and she said anxiously, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about others. Just take out Mu Xiaoxiao!¡±
¡°But¡¡±
They couldn¡¯t reach Mu Xiaoxiao!
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s position was just too much of an advantage. With triangr shaped cover provided by the wooden box and the tree trunk, they couldn¡¯t hit anyone even after shooting the wooden box full of holes.
A boy calmly proposed, ¡°We no longer have the advantage in numbers. We should withdraw first and bring more people to our side.¡±
Su Lin still had her wits about her. It was not a time for them to simply go up against them. Mu Xiaoxiao still had Ye Sijue and that mysterious person. She knew that her guys weren¡¯t that good with guns, and they would only lose if they were to simply continue going up against Mu Xiaoxiao.
Then, after some time of consideration, she agreed to the proposal.
¡°Let¡¯s go then!¡±
Su Lin got up slightly and stepped back, preparing to leave the battlefield.
However, a gunshot broke the silence, and a bulletnded on her shoulder!
The boys next to her were stunned. And they eximed, ¡°Miss Su Lin!¡±
However, it was already toote.
Su Lin was out!
It was incredulous! How did the person do it? How did he shoot her from this angle? That was just creepy!
Su Lin¡¯s face was darkened in anger.
What made her even more furious was the smug voice of Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°Haha, Su Lin, you lost! Sijue, Xiaomeng, let¡¯s charge!¡±
Chapter 716 - How Could It Be Him?
Chapter 716: How Could It Be Him?Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The tables had turned. It was their turn to attack!
The agile Ye Sijue took the lead, and Mu Xiaoxiao followed behind him while Mo Xiaomeng covered their backs.
Han Qiqing and Song Shijun, who were watching the battle, were so excited that they couldn¡¯t help but shout out, ¡°Xiaoxiao, Sijue, Xiaomeng! Go get ¡¯em!¡±
The remaining boys tried to put up a resistance but the final victory still went to Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s team.
After taking out all the other teams.
Mu Xiaoxiao stood proudly in front of Su Lin,ughing provocatively, ¡°Su Lin, I won!¡±
Su Lin gritted her teeth and said unhappily, ¡°It¡¯s not fair! The rules said that Young Master Jie couldn¡¯t join the game, but he was secretly helping you! This isn¡¯t fair! So it isn¡¯t counted!¡±
Then, Ye Sijue said, ¡°The person who helped us isn¡¯t Shaojie.¡±
Su Lin stared vacantly. She shook her head and said, ¡°Impossible, it must be Shaojie! Otherwise, how can that person be so urate!¡±
If it wasn¡¯t Yin Shaojie, then why would such a strong person help Mu Xiaoxiao?
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Ye Sijue puzzled, and she asked, ¡°Do you know that person? Who is he?¡±
She was also eager to find out who had been helping them.
If it wasn¡¯t for that person, the winner might have been Su Lin instead.
Ye Sijue said, ¡°I don¡¯t know. We¡¯ll go there and see.¡±
Leaving Su Lin aside, Mu Xiaoxiao took Mo Xiaomeng and ran to that tree.
The group of people stood under the tree looking up.
The tree was veryrge and the branches and leaves provided very dense cover. It was a great choice for a hiding spot.
They couldn¡¯t see anyone even as they looked. It was a wonder how Han Qiqing discovered the person. She must have had good eyesight.
¡°Who are you? Show yourself quickly!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shouted upward.
The crowd waited for a while, and the boys who had been taken out also came to watch. They were all dying to know who that powerful person was.
Finally, there were some rustling sounds, and a figure came into sight.
Everyone was shocked. No wonder they couldn¡¯t find that person. That person had been hiding at the very top!
However, wasn¡¯t that a bit too high? Was that person not afraid at all of falling down from that height?
Before the person climbed down, someone recognized him and eximed, ¡°Yu Zhe! So it¡¯s you! Wow, I was wondering who else could be that urate!¡±
The person who spoke just happened to be in Year One¡¯s ss S, and he was good friends with Yu Zhe, so he knew that Yu Zhe often yed Real Life Counter-Strike and that he was a master at it.
Hearing his name, Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned.
Yu¡ Zhe?
How could it be him?
However, when Yu Zhe finally came down and stood in front of her, Mu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to ept the fact.
It was really him!
¡°Why are you here?¡± her eyes widened as she asked.
She had never expected that the person who had been helping her was actually Yu Zhe!
Then, a boy bawled unhappily, ¡°Yu Zhe, didn¡¯t you drop out of school? You are not a Shangde student anymore! You can¡¯t join the game!¡±
Soon, realizing this, the other boys agreed and said, ¡°Yeah, you aren¡¯t a student of Shangde, so your participation is invalid. All of us who had been taken out by you shouldn¡¯t be counted!¡±
¡°Yeah! We are not out of the game yet!¡±
Su Lin¡¯s face sparkled a glimmer of hope. ¡°If this is the case, then I haven¡¯t lost, right?¡±
She had also been taken out by Yu Zhe.

Mu Xiaoxiao had no way to argue. It was true that Yu Zhe dropped out of school after all¡
¡°Who says that I¡¯m not a student of Shangde?¡± Yu Zhe said with a smile.
Everyone was stunned.
¡°Didn¡¯t you drop out of school?¡± someone asked.
Yu Zhe hung the gun on his shoulder, spread his hands open at them, and he said with an innocent smile, ¡°Who told you that I dropped out?¡±
Seeing that Mu Xiaoxiao was also confused. He turned to look calmly at Mu Xiaoxiao and exined, ¡°Earlier, my family came to the school, not to arrange that I be dropped out of school, but only that I be suspended for a while. It was initially nned for me to find a new school first and be transferred.¡±
Dropping out of Shangde was a very serious matter that might affect the family¡¯s reputation when people start wagging tongues. Thus, his family definitely couldn¡¯t just let him drop out, so they could only allow him to be suspended for awhile.
Therefore, he was still a student of Shangde and was eligible to participate in this autumn outing game.
The boys who still thought they had a chance to go on a date with Su Lin were all disappointed, and some of them even shot Yu Zhe furious res.
Su Lin was of course looking angry as well.
Yu Zhe didn¡¯t even spare anyone else a nce as he only stared at Mu Xiaoxiao. It was as if she was the only one in his eyes, and no one else existed.
He said seriously, ¡°The game isn¡¯t over yet. Let¡¯s continue. I¡¯ll help you win.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know how to respond.
She had already said that she wouldn¡¯t forgive his betrayal.
So, should she refuse his help?
Han Qiqing remembered how this person had betrayed Xiaoxiao. She stared at Xiaoxiao worriedly, fearing that she would feel down again so she quickly said, ¡°No need! We can win by ourselves. We don¡¯t need your help!¡±
Yu Zhe pretended not to hear as though he was only interested in Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s answer.
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed, looked at him and said, ¡°Yeah. No need. Thank you.¡±
The hopeful expression on Yu Zhe immediately stiffened and his eyes dulled.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to say anything more to him so she turned and said to Ye Sijue and Mo Xiaomeng, ¡°Let¡¯s continue then.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng didn¡¯t understand the situation, so she looked to Xiaoxiao uprehendingly. But she could also tell that the atmosphere was a bit strange, so she kept quiet even though she was curious about it.
When the matter was settled, the others gradually scattered.
Although both Han Qiqing and Song Shijun wanted to follow them, they were already out of the game. It was already quite improper for them to loiter on the battlefield so they couldn¡¯t return with them again.
Han Qiqing shouted to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Xiaoxiao, go get ¡¯em!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t look back, but she only raised her hand to return an OK gesture.
Han Qiqing felt that her pose was too cool. She quickly took out her cell phone and took a photo of it. Then, a thought came to her and she sent the photo to Yin Shaojie.
¡ª¡ªWe beat Su Lin! Yay!
Captioning the photo, she added a victory hand emoji at the end.
After a few seconds, Yin Shaojie returned the message.
¡°My wife is so cool!¡± He even appended an love-struck emoji at the end.
Han Qiqing¡¯s body nted defeatedly, and she gave Song Shijun a look.
Song Shijun peeked over and saw the contents of the message on WeChat. He showed the same expression as her and patted her shoulders sympathetically.
¡°You just had to give him the opportunity to express his love, huh?¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s expression was regretful.
¡ª¡ª-
Shortly, the event was over.
Mu Xiaoxiao and gang returned to the meeting ce. There was a person following behind her, maintaining distance, not too far or too close, but at a distance where Mu Xiaoxiao would not be disturbed.

The news about Yu Zhe helping Mu Xiaoxiao had spread.
As soon as people saw him, they whispered to each other.
¡°It¡¯s really Yu Zhe!¡±
¡°So who won in the end? Is it Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s team?¡±
¡°I heard that Yu Zhe is very good at shooting. With him helping Mu Xiaoxiao of course Mu Xiaoxiao will win.¡±
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao is too lucky, isn¡¯t she? Even without Young Master Jie, Yu Zhe appeared out of nowhere to help her. Didn¡¯t Yu Zhe stoping to school? Why did hee to this autumn outing?¡±
¡°Who knows, maybe he came specially for Mu Xiaoxiao.¡±
Though Yu Zhe was hearing the gossip, there was no emotion in his expression.
But someone had guessed it right. He dide for Xiaoxiao. Initially, he had only wanted to hide and watch her from the sidelines. Even if he wanted to help her, he didn¡¯t want her to know.
He knew that he was no longer qualified to stand by her side.
But he couldn¡¯t control his desire to see her. Even if he was only just looking at her from a distance, to catch a few glimpses of her was enough to satisfy him.
He didn¡¯t dare to make unreasonable demands of her, to go back to be on talking terms with her, or to be her friend again
He knew that he was not worthy.
However¡ in that moment when he met her eyes and talked to her, he realized just how crazy he was about her, his heart almost about to pop out.
God knew how much restraint it took for him to make himself appear calm and not act inappropriately in front of her.
When she told him that he didn¡¯t need his help, he was indeed upset. However, he knew that he deserved it. His past actions had consequences that he should bear.
Although he was rejected, he still secretly followed her and secretly took out some people for her.
Fortunately, she didn¡¯t force him to leave. It was as if she had tacitly epted his behavior.
Even if these were his only own subjective ideas, he was already filled with joy.
In front, Yin Shaojie was like a proud king, standing on a wooden observation deck. Someone from the Student Union went up to him and said something into his ear.
His smirked and announced to everyone, ¡°In the first ce is¡ªMu Xiaoxiao¡¯s team!¡±
The crowd had already guessed the result. They looked at each other, and the few sparse ps grew in the apuse.
Han Qiqing ran over and hugged Mu Xiaoxiao, shouting excitedly. ¡°We won, we won!¡±
Then she pulled Mo Xiaomeng over, and the three girls jumped happily and even spun in circles.
¡°Ah, stop turning, my head is dizzy.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stopped her.
¡°I¡¯m happy!¡± Han Qiqingughed foolishly.
Mu Xiaoxiao hadn¡¯t felt so dizzy before. A thought came to her, and she looked back at Yu Zhe behind her.
Yu Zhe didn¡¯t expect that she would look at him, and it startled him.
Mu Xiaoxiao gave him a smile as though to thank him.
In any case, it was really thanks to Yu Zhe¡¯s help that they were able to win against Su Lin.
Yu Zhe was exhrated. It felt like he was floating in the clouds. It felt unreal.
He took a deep breath as though to brace himself, and he walked toward her.
The onlookers could all see how serious he was looking, the focus in his eyes. In that instance, not one person said a word as they curiously watched him.
Yu Zhe walked up to Mu Xiaoxiao.
Then, as the crowd watched, he suddenly fell on a knee.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. The crowd looked stupefied. What was this about?
Yu Zhe took her hand and kissed solemnly on the back of her hand as if he were a medieval knight offering his loyalty to the Queen.

Chapter 719: His Goddess
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The students crowding around were almost all stupefied. Those who knew Yu Zhe personally looked at him in even greater disbelief.
Yu Zhe was a student of Year One¡¯s ss S. Though not as strong as the Big Four Families, the Yu family was quite powerful. At least within all of Shangde, the Yu family was considered one of the better ones.
However, Yu Zhe, bent the knee in front of Mu Xiaoxiao and kissed the back of her hand as if she was his queen.
Because of how far the crowd was to Yu Zhe and Mu Xiaoxiao, they didn¡¯t hear what Yu Zhe said to her.
But his expression was likened to the most devout believer.
And Mu Xiaoxiao was like his goddess.
Some people snapped out of it and continued the whispers, curious as to what they were doing. Why would Yu Zhe act this way toward Mu Xiaoxiao? Wasn¡¯t Mu Xiaoxiao a civilian? Why was Yu Zhe acting as if she was a person of high status, that he would submit himself to her?
It¡¯s all too weird!
¡°They¡¯re not acting, are they? Acting just for us to watch.¡±
¡°It doesn¡¯t look like it. But why did Yu Zhe suddenly appear? Didn¡¯t he drop out of school? Who told him toe?¡±
¡°I heard that he likes Mu Xiaoxiao. Could it be that Young Master Jie was jealous and forced Yu Zhe to drop out of school?¡±
¡°If this is the case, then how can he show up here? Just look at how dark Young Master Jie¡¯s face is! Yu Zhe¡¯s gonna get it this time!¡±
Watching this scene, Yin Shaojie was indeed very unhappy.
If it wasn¡¯t theplete sincerity in Yu Zhe¡¯s expression, he would have beat him up already.
However, it was only natural that he didn¡¯t look happy. After watching for a few more seconds, he finally couldn¡¯t restrain himself anymore and strode over with his long legs.
Yu Zhe had good judgment. Before Yin Shaojie reached them, he released her hand and retreated to one side.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly at him. Batting her eyes, Yin Shaojie¡¯s dashing and proud figure appeared in front of her.
¡°What are you doing?¡± he said indignantly.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly and said, ¡°How would I know¡¡±
She really didn¡¯t know why Yu Zhe would suddenly do that.
Yin Shaojie snorted and said with jealousy in his tone, ¡°Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know. You must have helped him, right? Now, he knows who you really are?¡±
As he was saying this, Yin Shaojie shot Yu Zhe a sharp re as a stern warning.
Seeing the look of him, Yu Zhe kept silent as if to make known his standpoint.
Mu Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue and made noments lest she say something wrong again.
Yin Shaojie took her hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go then. You must be hungry, right? Let¡¯s go eat.¡±
After saying that, he gestured to Ye Sijue and the others with a nce.
After watching the show, Han Qiqing was still dumbfounded. Before she could recover her senses, Song Shijun took her away.
The main characters had all left. The others looked at each other at a loss until the members of the Student Union reminded them to leave and so they scattered.
Still remaining in the same ce stood Su Lin and a few boys around her.
There was also An Zhixin, who was standing in the crowd, looking confused at Mu Xiaoxiao walking into the distance.
The scene had shocked her.
Just what kind of charm did Mu Xiaoxiao possess? It could make a boy from a rich family act in that manner toward her as if he was treating her as his exalted goddess.

An Zhixin brought a fist to her chest. Looking fierce, her eyes were green with jealousy.
She was resentful!
Why was Mu Xiaoxiao the one to have all of this?
She clearly had already a perfect boyfriend like Young Master Jie. How could she still enjoy all of these incredible treatments?
Her chest swelling with sourness, she was agonized and confused.
An Zhixin¡¯s eyes darted randomly, and inadvertently exchanged nces with Su Lin, who was not far away from her, and she was stunned.
The higher ss Miss Su Lin red at her contemptuously.
An Zhixin felt as if Su Lin had read her sinful thoughts. She quickly avoided her gaze, turned, and scurried away.
¡
In the cafeteria.
Yin Shaojie held Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand as he washed them in the sink. Afterthering the soap in his big hands, he rubbed her little hands, and even washed underneath her fingernails as if she was really dirty.
Mu Xiaoxiao, unsure whether tough or cry, said ¡°Is that enough? How many more times do you need to wash it?¡±
This was already the third wash. Seeing how he was still intent on washing it a few more times, she had to stop him or else her hands would get damaged.
¡°You¡¯re dirty!¡± Yin Shaojie said in a distasteful tone and he even shot her a re.
Mu Xiaoxiao red back at him. If he wasn¡¯t grabbing her hand, she would definitely hit him on the head.
¡°Who did you say is dirty?¡± she said unhappily.
Yin Shaojie looked at her. ¡°I¡¯m not talking about you, of course. I meant that guy. Why did you let him kiss you? Aren¡¯t you afraid of viruses from his saliva?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
It was only the back of her hand that had been kissed. Was it so serious?
¡°Okay, stop washing it. I¡¯m hungry. I wanna eat.¡± Seeing that he was almost done washing her hand, she quickly withdrew her little hand.
Yin Shaojie reached and grabbed her hand, ced her little hand by his lips and kissed it. He even bit it, leaving a shallow teeth mark on her hand, as if to say that it was his territory and no one was to touch it.
Mu Xiaoxiao joked, ¡°Are there any viruses in your saliva?¡±
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes. ¡°I have no viruses in my saliva. Don¡¯t you know?¡±
¡°What?¡± She wondered, and suddenly the handsome face went up close and pecked her lips.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was slightly red and her other hand pushed against his chest. ¡°Hey! Someone¡¯s here.¡±
It was a public ce, and there were people passing by from time to time.
Yin Shaojie tutted and said, ¡°If there weren¡¯t any people around I wouldn¡¯t stop there.¡±
There were many more things that he wanted to do to her.
Seeing that his hand was about to reach for her, Mu Xiaoxiao shifted to the side, and held his hand as she said, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go. Qiqing and the others are waiting for us.¡±
If she were to keep staying there, she didn¡¯t know what else he might try to do.
Yin Shaojie smiled as he allowed her to pull him as they return to the dining room together.
As soon as they saw them arrive, Han Qiqing teased, ¡°Where were you guys doing that lovey-dovey stuff again?¡±
The table was already full with served dishes.
Mo Xiaomeng said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Xiaoxiao, didn¡¯t you say that you were very hungry? Hurry up and dig in.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao said movingly, ¡°Xiaomeng, you are the best! You care that I¡¯m hungry unlike some people who only care about gossip.¡±
The two sat down, and Han Qiqing picked a prawn and gave it to Xiaoxiao. ¡°Eat, eat. Don¡¯t say I don¡¯t care that you are hungry.¡±

Meanwhile, Ye Sijue ced the soup, which had cooled down while sitting in front of him, before Mo Xiaomeng and said, ¡°Have some soup first.¡±
Everyone else had already started eating, except for this little thing who kept insisting on waiting for Xiaoxiao to join them before starting.
Mo Xiaomeng didn¡¯t have the habit of drinking soup before meals, but since he was the one who passed her the soup, she drank it reluctantly.
Seeing her obediently finishing the bowl of soup, Ye Sijue was pleased, and he put some food into her bowl. ¡°Eat these.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng pouted and said, ¡°I¡¯m not a child. I can get them myself.¡±
¡°Eat.¡± Ye Sijue said bossily, putting another piece of meat into her bowl.
Mo Xiaomeng sighed helplessly. People might have thought he was feeding a pig if they didn¡¯t know any better.
On the other side, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to peel the prawn shell, so she put the prawns in Yin Shaojie¡¯s bowl. She said nothing but only gestured to him with a nce.
Yin Shaojie tugged at the corner of his mouth. He could only help her to peel the shell and put the peeled prawns back into her bowl.
¡°What else do you want to eat?¡± he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°I still want prawns!¡±
Yin Shaojie continued to peel the prawn shells for her. Before long, the small bowl next to Mu Xiaoxiao was piled with peeled prawns.
Han Qiqing poked the chopsticks at the rice in her bowl, staring gloomily at the two couples and how they hadpletely forgotten themselves as they indulged in each other.
Han Qiqing reached for the red braised pork, but her hand was too short to reach it. Mu Xiaoxiao was also picking the food so Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t simply turn the Lazy Susan to shift the dishes to her.
She nudged Song Shijun with her elbow. ¡°Help me get a piece of that.¡±
Song Shijun was fighting for the remaining prawns with Mu Xiaoxiao as he looked at her bowl and said, ¡°Don¡¯t you still have food? Finish it first before you get more.¡±
Han Qiqing snorted at him.
As Mu Xiaoxiao fought with Song Shijun over the food, she identally got the sauce on the back of her hand.
She instinctively brought her hand to her lips. But she suddenly paused. Reminded of something, she burst out intoughter.
Everyone was dumbfounded as they looked to her.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed and fell into Yin Shaojie¡¯s arms, went up to his ear and said in a voice that only they could hear ¡°You kissed the back of my hand just now. Does that mean that you kissed Yu Zhe indirectly?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s face darkened.
¡ª¡ª-
Before the sun set, the group took a tent and drove an electric car to the valley.
Fortunately, Su Lin wasn¡¯t with them otherwise it would have been hard for them to leave her.
Along the way, the three girls chatted happily, and their cheerful voices could be heard from the small shaded path.
When they finally reached the selected camping site, the three boys were responsible for setting up tents, while the girls prepared utensils for barbecues.
Not far away, the sun set, filling the sky with red and orange.
Han Qiqing took the opportunity to ck off and enjoyed herself as she took pictures here and there with the camera.
Soon, the tent was set up, and the three boys went to take over the barbecuing.
Han Qiqing went a little farther and took a panoramic view of the tent against its backdrop.
She came back and asked, ¡°Why are there four tents?¡±
Song Shijun shook his head and rolled his eyes at her. ¡°Idiot!¡±
Yin Shaojieughed and made noments while Ye Sijuepletely turned a deaf ear.
Han Qiqing figured it out and she red at Song Shijun, jabbed his arm with her finger, and said, ¡°I¡¯m telling you. Even if I¡¯m scared of ghosts, I won¡¯t sleep together with you!¡±
Yin Shaojie was even more amused.
Song Shijun sighed as he held his forehead andughed, ¡°When did I say I want to sleep with you?¡±
¡°Well¡¡± Han Qiqing was quite embarrassed.

Song Shijun pulled her over and hinted to her about Ye Sijue, whispering, ¡°Do you still need to ask? Sijue is sleeping with Xiaomeng in a tent. You never thought of that? You¡¯re too stupid!¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s eyes widened in shock, ¡°T-they¡¡±
¡°Shh!¡± Song Shijun stopped her from talking. Some things didn¡¯t need to be said.
Han Qiqing gasped, ¡°They¡¯re progressing too fast¡¡±
She suddenly thought of something, left Song Shijun, and hurriedly ran to Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao was taking Mo Xiaomeng next to the stream, and they each sat on arge rock, admiring the beauty of the setting sun.
Han Qiqing flew to Mu Xiaoxiao, and she almost knocked Mu Xiaoxiao into the water.
¡°Qiqing, what are you doing!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao patted her chest frightfully.
Han Qiqing huddled with her on a stone and whispered into her ear, ¡°Xiaoxiao, tell me honestly.¡±
¡°What?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked confused.
Han Qiqing raised her eyebrows suggestively and said, ¡°Which stage have you and Yin Shaojie progressed to? Be honest! Did you guys¡ do that thing already?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, not expecting her to ask this question. Her face blushed and then she stood up.
¡°Xiaomeng! There seems to be a fish over there. Let¡¯s go there and check it out, alright?¡±
How could Han Qiqing let her escape? Han Qiqing grabbed her hand, and waved to Mo Xiaomeng. ¡°Xiaomeng,e here.¡±
Good. Now she could ask them together.
¡°Tell me quickly! I¡¯m telling you. You have to tell me honestly!¡± She was about to die of curiosity. If they would not tell her, she wouldn¡¯t be able to stop thinking about it and she wouldn¡¯t be able to sleep at night!
Mu Xiaoxiao unsure whether tough or cry, asked, ¡°Why do you need to know?¡±
How could she not be embarrassed to talk about these things!
Unsuspecting, Mo Xiaomeng also got up on therge rock.
So the three girls were huddled as they sat together.
Han Qiqing hugged the two of them as she said, smiling, ¡°Be honest, you two. How far have you progressed?¡±
¡°What progress?¡± Mo Xiaomeng was puzzled.
Han Qiqing said, ¡°I¡¯ll ask youter. Let¡¯s first ask Xiaoxiao together. Talk, quickly!¡±
Helpless, Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged and said, ¡°We¡¯re¡ haven¡¯t reached that stage yet.¡±
¡°Not yet?¡± Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t believe it. ¡°Yin Shaojie sucks! After so long, and he hasn¡¯t eaten you yet?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Yin Shaojie must definitely not hear this. If he did, he would definitely try his best to prove that he didn¡¯t suck.
Han Qiqing narrowed her eyes as she stared at her and said, ¡°Are you lying to me? You two love each other and you even live together. Something must have happened. I don¡¯t believe Yin Shaojie is such a decent gentleman. How can he not have done anything to you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pretended not to understand.
She couldn¡¯t just tell her that they had done other intimate things and were only missing the final step, right?
How could she talk about such embarrassing things!
Han Qiqing shook her. ¡°Tell me! He¡¯s not really that much of a decent gentleman, is he?¡±
Decent gentleman, my ass!
Recalling Yin Shaojie¡¯s unruly behavior, the passionate images surfaced in her mind. She was red to her ears.
Han Qiqingughed mischievously and stared at her. ¡°I smell shenanigans. Could it be that you two have already done everything and are only missing the final step?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng still didn¡¯t understand what they were talking about. ¡°What do you mean doing everything? What has Xiaoxiao done?¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Han Qiqing hooked her arms around her neck and chuckled. ¡°The same thing that you have done with Ye Sijue. You two did it, right? Stop being embarrassed. We¡¯re all sisters. Share with me.¡±
Although she knew what sex was, she had never experienced it! So she really wanted to know what it felt like, alright?
¡°What I did with Ye Sijue¡¡± Mo Xiaomeng was startled. ¡°We only kissed each other.¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t believe it. ¡°You two only kissed? For real?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng nodded. ¡°For real.¡±
Han Qiqing said uprehendingly, ¡°Xiaomeng, aren¡¯t you an American? Aren¡¯t you more open-minded about these things? When I watch those American dramas, the men and women start rolling in the sheets the moment they catch each other¡¯s fancies. Why are you so innocent?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nudged her, rolling her eyes at her as she said, ¡°Don¡¯t tell Xiaomeng these things!¡±
¡°What¡¯s the problem? At this age, it is time that we should understand the physiology of these things.¡± Han Qiqing said forcibly out of a sense of righteousness. Actually, she was also ayman. She only learned about these from novels and never experienced it first hand.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed, ¡°Qiqing, you seem very eager to experience it yourself. Are you that¡ thirsty?¡±
¡°Who¡¯s thirsty! I¡¯m just¡ curious! I¡¯m only curious! We¡¯re not elementary school students anymore. We¡¯ll be adults in a few years. It¡¯s only normal to be curious about these things.¡± Han Qiqing quickly defending herself.
Mo Xiaomeng asked curiously, ¡°Qiqing, do you have any boys you like?¡±
¡°Yes,¡± Han Qiqing answered very naturally.
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s eyes lit up, smiling sweetly as she asked. ¡°Is it Song Shijun? Are you two together?¡±
Han Qiqing almost choked on her saliva. ¡°How could it be him! I like another person, but unfortunately he didn¡¯te today.¡±
She felt gloomy upon being reminded of this.
Lu Yichen was already in Year Three. She thought she coulde to the autumn outing with him and create wonderful memories together.
Mo Xiaomeng said regretfully, ¡°I see that Song Shijun seems to like you very much. and he treats you well. I thought you two were a pair¡¡±
¡°Who¡¯s a pair with him! I¡¯m telling you. The person that I like, is excellent, a hundred times better than Song Shijun!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded.
But upon thinking about it, she still defended Song Shijun, ¡°Qiqing, don¡¯t talk about Shijun like that. Shijun has his merits. To say more urately¡ they both have their merits!¡±
Mo Xiaomeng nodded in agreement. ¡°Yeah, I think he is pretty good.¡±
Within the group, Han Qiqing was closest to Song Shijun. Han Qiqing certainly knew what kind of person Song Shijun was. Though she spoke about him in distaste, it was only a habit of joking about him.
After all, Song Shijun was the mayor¡¯s son. Although he always appears to not be serious, he wasn¡¯t a superficial person. It was only that his merits tended to be overshadowed by Yin Shaojie.
Han Qiqing waved her hand and said, ¡°Okay okay. Let¡¯s not talk about him. Back to the topic. Xiaoxiao, you and Yin Shaojie¡¡±
Hearing her circling back to the topic, Mu Xiaoxiao was getting a headache, and she quickly tried to escape.
¡°Aiyoh! I¡¯m hungry. I wonder if they are done. I want to eat barbecue soon¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t try to escape!¡±
The three girls chatted happily on therge rock and almost slipped from the rock several times but they still continuedughing about it. Then, the three boys saw them.

Chapter 724: Aren¡¯t You Shameful!
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Ye Sijue heard Mo Xiaomeng crying out, followed by Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing¡¯s voice crying out at the same time.
¡°Xiaomeng!¡±
Thinking that something happened to them, the three boys rushed over.
It turned out that Mo Xiaomeng only fell into the water. It was a valley and the water was very shallow, only up to the ankles. Even if they sat down, they wouldn¡¯t be able to drown.
Ye Sijue frowned as he nced at the clothes Mo Xiaomeng was wearing. They were slowly starting to be see through.
He quickly took off his jacket and put it on her.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°Xiaomeng, your clothes are all wet. Go to the tent and change your clothes quickly, lest you catch a cold.¡±
It¡¯s autumn now, and the wind was cool at night.
When Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s voice faded, Ye Sijue had already bent over and carried Mo Xiaomeng by her waist.
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s face was blushing faintly. ¡°I can walk.¡±
It was only her clothes that were wet. Her legs were fine.
Ye Sijue pretended not to hear as he quickly carried her to the tent.
At this time, the sun had already set, leaving only a line on the horizon and the sky was almost dark.
Needless to say, the tent was naturally very dark.
Fortunately, they didn¡¯t use that type of small tent but the more high-quality tents. They were divided into two areas, just like the living room and the bedroom.
Mo Xiaomeng stood in the outer area and pushed Ye Sijue¡¯s arm, saying, ¡°You go out then. I have to change clothes.¡±
Ye Sijue said nothing as he pulled a towel out of the luggage and wiped her dry.
Her hair was also a bit wet.
Just as he was thinking whether he should find a hairdryer, Mo Xiaomeng pushed him again, this time saying forcibly, ¡°Go out!¡±
¡°Okay.¡± He replied softly, stuffed the towel into her hand, and then turned and walked out.
Mo Xiaomeng heaved a sigh of relief, and went to the luggage to find her clothes.
Outside, Ye Sijue stood at the door of the tent waiting.
He subconsciously looked back and his eyes squinted.
Because the sky was dark, and there was light from inside the tent, it projected her pretty figure onto the tent.
He could clearly see that she had found the clothes, her hands crossed at her chest as she was preparing to undress¡
¡°Ahem.¡± Someone coughed beside him.
Ye Sijue red at Song Shijun.
Yin Shaojie had already taken Mu Xiaoxiao to somewhere else, and they were not in the vicinity.
Song Shijun held up the mini hairdryer, his eyes not even daring to look at the tent as he said awkwardly, ¡°Qiqing told me to bring this¡¡±
¡°Turn your head away.¡± Ye Sijue ordered, taking it from him and he quickly turned and entered the tent.
The next second, Mo Xiaomeng cried out in surprise and then the lights went out.
Noticing that the lights were turned off, Song Shijun turned his head and watched the tent with great interest, his ears pricked up, wanting to eavesdrop.
Suddenly, a hand pinched his ear.
¡°Aren¡¯t you shameful!¡± Han Qiqing howled at him.
Song Shijun quickly surrendered and said, ¡°I¡¯m shameful! I¡¯m shameful!¡±
¡°Go!¡± Han Qiqing took him away.
Meanwhile.
The tent was pitch-ck inside. Mo Xiaomeng had just taken off her shirt. Just as she was checking to see if her bra was wet and whether she should change it, Ye Sijue barged in unexpectedly and then the lights went out.
She shyly held her hands in front of her, not knowing where Ye Sijue was.
What she was oblivious to was that in the darkness, there was a pair of scorching eyes staring at her.

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°W-why did youe in?¡± Mo Xiaomeng asked weakly. For a moment, her eyes had not adapted to the darkness, so she couldn¡¯t tell where he was and she could only stare blindly to the front.
Ye Sijue¡¯s deep voice was a little husky as he softly exined, ¡°Don¡¯t turn on the lights. You can see the shadows from outside.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng stared nkly for a moment and then she realized what he meant.
¡°Then¡ how do I change my clothes?¡±
¡°Just change it like this.¡± Ye Sijue said calmly as if his standing inside the tent wasn¡¯t awkward at all.
Mo Xiaomeng said, ¡°Go out then.¡±
Ye Sijue seemed amused as he said, ¡°I¡¯m here to protect you. You can change now. It¡¯s so dark anyways, I can¡¯t see anything.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng pouted. She was only changing clothes, why did she need him to protect her?
Moreover, it was clearly only more dangerous with him around.
But apparently, he wasn¡¯t intending to go out.
Feeling helpless, her body was feeling cold, and she might just get a cold if she kept it up. With no other choice, she just wanted to quickly change into the clean clothes. Looking around, it was indeed dark. She couldn¡¯t see his face clearly. Surely, he also wouldn¡¯t be able to see her, right?
She then felt more at ease.
¡°You turn around then.¡±
With that said, she turned around and fumbled to find the clothes, put them in at a ce where she could reach, and then her hands went behind her to undo her bra strap.
She had no choice. The bra was wet, and she could only change it.
However, the more she tried to rush, the clumsier she got. Mo Xiaomeng couldn¡¯t buckle the strap of the bra, and she suddenly felt anxious.
Was God teasing her? It just had to happen at this time.
As if God was really meant to tease her, her hands were aching from holding it up for so long, but she still couldn¡¯t get it strapped.
Looking gloomy, Mo Xiaomeng sighed, thinking of resting her hands for awhile before continuing.
However, suddenly a pair of warm palms touched her.
It was clearly the typical human body temperature, but she felt that the hands were so hot!
Startled, before she even had time to react, the hands had already strapped the bra for her.
¡°Done.¡± Ye Sijue said in the dark.
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s face was hot as if someone were baking her face.
How could he do this!
Her cheeks were red, and her heartbeat was also in a state of disarray. It seemed that there were countless little people beating drums inside of it. The sound of her heartbeat in the quiet space embarrassed her.
Her throat was dry. She coughed and pretended to be calm as she said, ¡°Thanks¡¡±
Then she groped around and picked up the shirt in front of her and she quickly put it on, not caring if she put it on the wrong way.
Fortunately, her eyes had already adapted to the dark. Even if she couldn¡¯t see his expression, she could still see his silhouette.
She pressed against her wildly pounding chest and said, ¡°I don¡¯t need you help anymore. Just stand still.¡±
¡°Okay,¡± Ye Sijue replied. His tone seemed to contain his amusement.
Mo Xiaomeng felt regret. She should have just changed into a dress, so that she didn¡¯t have to change her clothes in two steps.
The longer they spent inside, the more suggestive the atmosphere became.
Though she clearly couldn¡¯t see his expression, but she always had a feeling as though there was a pair of scorching eyes behind her.
Mo Xiaomeng tried to calm herself down. She fumbled about in the dark and changed lower garments.
The corner of Ye Sijue¡¯s mouth faintly turned up in a smile.
If she knew that he had excellent night vision, how would she react?
After changing her clothes, Mo Xiaomeng finally heaved a breath of relief.

She packed her wet clothes, got up, and was going to ask him to turn the lights on.
Suddenly, there was a warm body leaned over behind her, and it was almost in full contact with her back. Then, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her thin waist.
¡°You¡¡± Before she could speak, her chin was pinched, her head turned to the side, her lips were taken into his.
At first, it was a light affectionate caressing. But how could he restrain himself? Soon, it became a feverish kiss, gobbling up the sweetness of her mouth.
Mo Xiaomeng moaned. Because of how she was postured, she couldn¡¯t push him away even if she wanted to and she had no choice but to be helplessly kissed by him.
His fiery tongue plunged into her little mouth, sweeping around wantonly, his big hands restlessly stroking her body.
Just as the temperature in the air was rising, suddenly a glimmer of light shone in the darkness, and it was followed by the sound of pleasant music.
Mo Xiaomeng was out of it for a few seconds before she realized that it was her phone that was ringing.
It was only at this moment that she realized his tongue had invaded her little mouth. The two were almost inseparable in the extremely passionate atmosphere.
She snapped out of it, hastily pushed him away, and found her cell phone lying by the side.
Luckily, she didn¡¯t bring the cell phone out earlier, otherwise the cell phone would have dropped into the water.
As soon as she saw the caller ID she tensed up.
Not feeling like answering the call, she bit her lip as she listened to the music for a few seconds. Then, she finally answered.
¡°Brother¡¡± she called softly.
Initially seeing something odd in her expression, he was thinking if it might be some guy who had called. Upon hearing her call out ¡°brother¡±, his serious expression eased up.
The tent was so quiet that it seemed like he could hear the conversation over the phone.
¡°Are you with Xiaoxiao?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Mo Xiaomeng replied faintly. She nced at Ye Sijue before walking out of the tent.
Exiting the tent, she walked to a distance where no one else could hear her.
Mo Xiaomeng exined to her brother, ¡°Xiaoxiao¡¯s school is having an autumn outing, so she brought me along.¡±
¡°Are you having fun?¡± William asked.
Mo Xiaomeng smiled and nodded. ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m having fun. We will spend a night here and go back tomorrow afternoon. We are camping in tents next to a valley. I heard that in the evening we¡¯ll be able to see lots of stars. Xiaoxiao even brought an astronomical telescope.¡±
¡°As long as you¡¯re happy.¡±
Hearing her silvery voice, William knew that she was having a great time.
However¡
His voice became deeper as he said seriously, ¡°I know about that matter.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng paused, her expression quiteplicated and she didn¡¯t give any replies.
William continued, ¡°You ran to China because you didn¡¯t want to be engaged with Chris?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng looked slightly aggrieved, tugging at the corner of her mouth, but she quickly smiled and said, ¡°How should I express it¡ It just felt too sudden.¡±
William said calmly, ¡°Well, you grew up with Chris since young, and you two knew each other very well, so the family made a decision for you to be engaged with him. Though¡ there were other factors involved, but what is most important is how you are feeling.¡±
Listening to his brother¡¯s gentle voice, Mo Xiaomeng knew that he cared a lot about her, and her nose felt slightly sour.
Of course, she knew that her engagement with Chris wasn¡¯t such a simple affair that she could stop it by just saying that she didn¡¯t want to.

Mo Xiaomeng nodded and said, ¡°Yeah, I know. I didn¡¯te to China for this matter. I really missed Xiaoxiao and wanted to visit China, so I came back. I¡¯ll probably¡ stay for another half a month and have fun before I go back.¡±
¡°When youe back, I will talk to you in more detail. You should have fun first. Don¡¯t think about other things. Just enjoy yourself.¡±
¡°I am. I¡¯m enjoying myself every day.¡± Mo Xiaomeng said cheerfully as she didn¡¯t want her brother to worry about herself.
But as she was saying that, she thought of Ye Sijue, and she couldn¡¯t help but look to him.
Ye Sijue had exited the tent after her and was now working with Yin Shaojie to prepare the barbecue food.
It seemed that it was ready as Mu Xiaoxiao was waving to her, telling her toe over.
¡°Brother, we¡¯ll talk next time. I have to go eat.¡±
After hanging up the phone, Mo Xiaomeng put on a smile as if nothing happened and ran over to the others.
¡°Smells great!¡±
Hearing her praise, Song Shijun proudly raised his head. ¡°I barbecued this. Here, Xiaomeng, do you like chicken wings? I specially grilled this. You can have it.¡±
¡°Thanks.¡± Mo Xiaomeng reached for it. However, Ye Sijue snatched it, taking a bite from the chicken wing, he red at Song Shijun and said, ¡°It¡¯s too sweet. Did you put in a whole jar of honey?¡±
Song Shijun said, ¡°No! I only put a little. If you don¡¯t like it, why did you snatch it?¡±
¡°I guess you should let Qiqing enjoy your cooking.¡± Ye Sijue didn¡¯t care about him anymore as he turned to at Mo Xiaomeng and said. ¡°If you say things your teeth will rot. Don¡¯t eat his. I¡¯ll cook it for you. Do you want to eat spicy or not? Do you want to add cumin?¡±
Song Shijun snorted, ¡°Fine then.¡±
Then he smugly went to Han Qiqing and said, smiling, ¡°Qiqing, I¡¯ll grill some chicken wings for you. I guarantee it¡¯ll taste good!¡±
Han Qiqing gave him a look, held up the chicken wings in her hand and said, ¡°No need. I¡¯m eating already. Yin Shaojie made very tasty ones.¡±
In any case, the look of hers was just doubtful that he could barbecue anything good at all.
Song Shijun sped at his chest, looking very hurt as he said, ¡°Sijue turned away from me. You¡¯re turning away from me too? Why don¡¯t you taste one that I grilled?¡±
Not knowing what to do with him, Han Qiqing shifted aside to make space for him, letting him sit beside her. ¡°Go barbecue then. But I¡¯m telling you, if it¡¯s not good, I won¡¯t force myself to eat it, and you¡¯ll have to finish it yourself.¡±
¡°Fine! I¡¯m telling you, I haven¡¯t used my trump card yet. It¡¯d be so good you don¡¯t even want to stop eating!¡± Song Shijun said, very eager to get into action.
After about ten minutes, Song Shijun grilled six chicken wings, looking proud.
Han Qiqing only took a bite before she red at him distastefully. ¡°You should just eat it yourself.¡±
Staring at the six chicken wings in front of him, he looked miserable. ¡°Is it really that bad? Xiaoxiao, can you try it for me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly refused, waving her hand as she said, ¡°No, I¡¯m already full.¡±
Seeing that she was done eating, Yin Shaojie handed her a wet tissue.
The two wiped their hands clean. Yin Shaojie stood up, took her hand, and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go take a walk.¡±
After eating, they should of course go for a walk to aid digestion.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, ¡°Alright!¡±
Then she waved to others and said, ¡°Enjoy your meal, we¡¯ll be going for a walk.¡±
With a hand in his pocket, Yin Shaojie held her hand as the two walked sweetly toward the shaded path.

Even though they were in the valley, it was still within the resort¡¯s grounds and thus had streetlights. The mild yellow lighting brought out the romantic atmosphere in the night.
They looked as though they were traveling further and further away.
Mu Xiaoxiao tugged at his hand and said, ¡°Should we go back? We¡¯ll be too far out if we continue to walk.¡±
They would have to walk back in the end too, which sounded very tiring.
¡°Let¡¯s walk a little further ahead,¡± Yin Shaojie said, smiling. His gaze had a mysterious quality about it.
¡°Why?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao cockec her head as she looked at him. He seemed to be acting weird.
¡°You¡¯ll understandter.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled. ¡°Is it the surprise that you¡¯ve been nning for me?¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled but said nothing.
Thinking that she had guessed correctly, Mu Xiaoxiao swung his hand like a little kid as she held it. ¡°Where is it? How long are we going to walk? What exactly is the surprise that you¡¯ve prepared for me?¡±
¡°Shush, lower your voice or you¡¯ll scare them away,¡± Yin Shaojie said, pretending to be mysterious about it all.
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. ¡°What? What will I scare off?¡±
Scare off?
Was the surprise that he had been nning some kind of animal?
They arrived at arge clearing. Yin Shaojie stopped and ceased walking to indicate that they had arrived.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her surroundings uprehendingly.
There was nothing here. What was the surprise he had been talking about?
¡°Where¡¯s the thing?¡±
¡°It¡¯s right here.¡± Yin Shaojie pulled her into his embrace. Hugging her from behind, he pointed to the front so that she could try to see it clearer.
Mu Xiaoxiao put all her effort into scrutinizing the thing he was pointing at and stared fixedly into space.
¡°There¡¯s nothing¡¡±
Just then, something changed in the grass right in front of them. Lights appeared from there, shing like little stars.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the sight before her in awe. ¡°It¡¯s so pretty¡ What is it?¡±
¡°Fireflies.¡± Yin Shaojie kissed her cheek, his handsome face smiling.
¡°Fireflies? It can¡¯t be.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at him, and Yin Shaojie took the chance to give her a peck on her lips.
He chuckled, ¡°They aren¡¯t actually real fireflies. It¡¯s hard to find fireflies nowadays. This is only a simtion, but don¡¯t you think it looks quite real?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao snickered. ¡°If I told you no, would you punch me?¡±
She thought his expression said: This is something I spent effort on. Tell me no if you dare!¡±
Yin Shaojie looked into her eyes and put on an air of seriousness, ¡°Yes. I won¡¯t punch you though, but I¡¯ll punish you using another method.¡±
¡°Such as?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao eyes narrowed into crescents.
¡°Such as¡ this.¡± Yin Shaojie pinched her jaw and the pair¡¯s lips locked together. His tongue darted into her little mouth easily and twisted around her flexible little one.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a sweetness flow into her heart as they kissed under such beautiful scenery.
The pair only parted after kissing for quite a while.
Mu Xiaoxiao was panting a little.
Yin Shaojie tightened his embrace and buried his face in her neck, breathing in her scent.
He had originally been aroused a little by their kiss earlier, but now, he wanted to hug her and do the most intimate things to her to make her his.
His blood rushed to a certain region as he thought about the image.
¡°Wifey¡¡± he whined intively, ¡°I¡¯m feeling ufortable.¡±
¡°Why?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled.
She liked how he was pressing against her.
¡°It¡¯s ufortable here¡¡± Yin Shaojie said huskily as he scooped up her little hand and used it to cover a certain protruding member.

Mu Xiaoxiao blushed. She wanted to retract her little hand as though it had been burnt, but it was held down by him.
¡°Hey!¡± She red at him.
Yin Shaojieughed and his chest vibrated against her back. Nibbling on her earlobe, he asked in a low, sexy voice, ¡°When are you finally going to give it to me?¡±
This made Mu Xiaoxiao feel embarrassed and she shrank back, not wanting to answer him.
Who in the world would ask that so directly!
She thought for a while before saying, ¡°Don¡¯t think I¡¯ll do¡ that just because you made a romantic atmosphere with some fireflies. I¡¯m telling you it¡¯s of no use. I¡¯m not that partial towards fireflies.¡±
However, the scenery before her was pretty. It would always be one where she would treasure in her memories.
Yin Shaojie asked uprehendingly, ¡°Don¡¯t you girls like fireflies and things like that?¡±
He still didn¡¯t understand why girls hated bugs but liked fireflies. Was it just because their butt lit up?
However, he didn¡¯t mind doing these so-called ¡°romantic things¡± so long she liked it.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed. ¡°That was because I was young and naive. I thought they looked really pretty when I saw them in fairy tales or cartoons, but once I knew that they were actually bugs, the illusion faded and I decided it would be best to view them from afar. If I were to go amongst them, I would be frightened to death.¡±
They did look like pretty little stars, but once she used her imagination, these little stars were all bugs which not only circled around people but also rested on their heads.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt goosebumps just thinking about this.
She was still very afraid of bugs.
Yin Shaojie felt lucky that he hadn¡¯t been able to find real fireflies and instead used these lights to create such an atmosphere.
¡°Don¡¯t you think you¡¯re spoiling the mood like this?¡± he said, pretending to be displeased.
He had spent so much effort to make this romantic, but here she was, trying to analyze the real nature of fireflies with him.
Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged. ¡°You have to be reasonable when you¡¯re trying to be romantic too.¡±
He couldn¡¯t help butugh, ¡°Alright, alright, alright. I¡¯ll take note of this in the future.¡±
This girl was very hard to please.
However, no one had told him to like her. He was willing to do this for her, so long as she was happy.
Even though it was a little bit of a failure, trying to create a romantic atmosphere should be something interesting to reminisce about in the future, right?
After the pair had enough of being romantic, they prepared to go back to the campsite.
As they walked on the pavement, Yin Shaojie¡¯s ears pricked and he looked into the darkness of the forest.
¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled, as she noticed him stop in his tracks.
¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Yin Shaojie looked away. Holding her little hand tight, he walked on with her.
They could already see the tents and a bonfire from a distance.
Suddenly, Yin Shaojie stopped in his tracks, bent over, and picked up a stone.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him curiously.
Yin Shaojie smirked at her. With a flick of his wrist, he sent the stone flying into the forest.
¡°Aiyoh,¡± came a shriek from within.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened. Alert, she called out, ¡°Who¡¯s there!¡±
Yin Shaojie seemed to know who it was. His lips curled downwards and hemanded coldly, ¡°Come out.¡±
There was silence in the forest for a few seconds before a ck silhouette stood up and walked out, rustling the foliage as he did so.
Before the silhouette got close to them, the streetlights illuminated his face and Mu Xiaoxiao saw who he was.
¡°Yu Zhe? You¡¯re following us again?¡±
Yu Zhe didn¡¯t speak, but lowered his head like a puppy who had done something wrong, looking a little pitiful.

As Mu Xiaoxiao recalled Yu Zhe kissing the back of her hand publicly earlier, she looked towards Yin Shaojie beside her, worried that he would re up.
She advised Yu Zhe, ¡°You should go. Don¡¯t follow us anymore. This guy doesn¡¯t have a good temper. If you continue following us, he might beat the crap out of you!¡±
Yu Zhe whispered apologetically, ¡°Sorry¡ I wasn¡¯t hiding properly. I wasn¡¯t intending to disturb you. I just¡¡±
I just wanted to look at you from afar.
This was his purpose foring to the autumn outing.
He didn¡¯t dare to expect forgiveness, and only wanted to look at her from afar. In this way, he could amass many memories of her, which would allow him to reminisce about her for a very, very long time.
Mu Xiaoxiao was very soft-hearted. Upon seeing Yu Zhe like this, she didn¡¯t have the heart to chase him away.
She looked towards Yin Shaojie and tugged at his hand.
Yin Shaojie sneered, ¡°Do whatever you want.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao beamed. ¡°Really?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at her with his dark eyes, looking as if he was at his wits¡¯ end, though his gaze did hold more pampering than that. ¡°Do whatever you want.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao then looked at Yu Zhe and asked, ¡°Do you have a roomed assigned?¡±
Yu Zhe paused before he shook his head. ¡°No¡¡±
He hadn¡¯te here with everyone else, and thus the members of the Student Union hadn¡¯t assigned a room to him.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. ¡°Have you tried searching for a ce to sleep instead of following me around?¡±
Yu Zhe was silent.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless. She sighed and said, ¡°Come with me.¡±
Yu Zhe looked shocked, and he thought he had heard her wrong.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t repeat her words. Holding Yin Shaojie¡¯s hand, she walked towards the tents.
Yu Zhe paused for a while before following silently.
When they returned, Mu Xiaoxiao asked, ¡°Did anyone bring an extra tent or sleeping bag?¡±
Song Shijun had good eyesight and seemed to understand what was going on when he saw Yu Zhe behind her.
He raised his hand. ¡°I have a sleeping bag. I don¡¯t mind not using it, so let him have it.¡±
¡°Thanks,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, before gesturing to Yu Zhe to sit with them.
Yu Zhe found an empty spot and sat down. His gaze was a little shocked, as though he still hadn¡¯t returned to his senses.
He had never thought that he would be able to sit with this bunch of people¡
Just then, Yin Shaojie carried a disposable te over. In it were some leftover wings and drumsticks.
He sat beside Mu Xiaoxiao and offered the te to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao understood what he was trying to do and smiled at him approvingly. She then gave the te to Yu Zhe and said, ¡°For you.¡±
He had been hiding by the side all this while. He couldn¡¯t have eaten yet, right?
Mu Xiaoxiao was totally speechless at his behavior.
Yu Zhe took the te. It was only then that he returned to his senses and he said, ¡°Thank you. Am I disturbing you?¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she said. ¡°The more the merrier. Everyone here knows you anyway and you¡¯ve helped us before.¡±
Yu Zhe only rxed after feeling the kindness of the rest.
He even felt as though he was in a dream, and that all of this was very surreal.
In front of him were the people everyone at Shangde High wanted to get close to: the Big Four Families, the son of the mayor, and also¡ the legendary Mu family.
When he thought about thest bit, he couldn¡¯t help but look at Mu Xiaoxiao, his eyes brimming with an indescribable emotion.
Yu Zhe took up a wing and took a bite of it silently.
A sharp spiciness pierced his tongue and mouth instantly and rushed through his head. In less than two seconds, his forehead was sweating from the spice.
Beside him, Yin Shaojie smirked.

Chapter 731: Never Ever Forget
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Yu Zhe¡¯s expression looked a little stiff. However, he tried hard not to show it and continued to take a bite from it. After chewing a few times, he forced himself to swallow it.
This chicken wing had been rubbed in some chilli that made it extremely spicy, which made his mouth feel like it was on fire.
Luckily, the bonfire that was reflected on his face was also red, so no one could tell that his face was red.
Yin Shaojie offered a bottle of coke to Mu Xiaoxiao and gestured towards Yu Zhe.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. She had worried that he would be angry, but he was turning out to be so caring, to the point of offering Yu Zhe a drink.
She turned around and offered the bottle to Yu Zhe.
Yu Zhe¡¯s hand paused, but still received the bottle.
He already had a premonition about this. As expected, he found that the bottle had been opened before when he unscrewed the cap, which meant that something had been put into it.
However, faced with Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s smiling face, he toughened his scalp and took a small sip¡
It had been spiked with chilli powder!
Yu Zhe almost choked. However, he pursed his lips and forced himself to swallow it down.
No one else noticed anything amiss other than Ye Sijue. It only took one nce from him before he seemed to realize what was up. He smirked, but didn¡¯t say anything.
Han Qiqing used a little stick to prod at the firewood. Anxiously, she asked, ¡°Are the sweet potatoes ready? How long do we have to roast them?¡±
Song Shijun said, ¡°Chill, it¡¯s not going to take that long. If it¡¯s only half-cooked, you might get diarrhea.¡±
Han Qiqing looked at him. ¡°Can¡¯t sweet potatoes be eaten raw? Even if they¡¯re only half-cooked, you shouldn¡¯t get diarrhea, right?¡±
¡°You can try.¡±
Han Qiqing didn¡¯t want to try. What if she really got diarrhea?¡±
Song Shijun smiled sinisterly and suddenly suggested, ¡°It¡¯s a must to tell ghost stories at this time, right? Who¡¯s telling them? If no one¡¯s going to, then I¡¯ll tell one to all of you.¡±
Han Qiqing panicked at his words. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to tell ghost stories! They¡¯re some! We can y other games. Oh yeah, let¡¯s y Truth or Dare. I¡¯ll grab the poker cards.¡±
¡°Truth or Dare again? We¡¯ve yed that so often it¡¯s boring now. Let¡¯s y something else.¡±
¡°What do you think would be interesting to y then?¡±
As they were arguing, Yin Shaojie stood up and pulled Mu Xiaoxiao up too. ¡°You can y by yourselves. We¡¯re going to look at the stars now,¡± he said to them.
The sky had turnedpletely dark now, and the stars shone in the dark sky.
Han Qiqing whined and looked towards Ye Sijue, ¡°Sijue, what do you want to y then?¡±
¡°You can y anything you want. We¡¯re not ying.¡± Ye Sijue pulled Mo Xiaomeng up after his speech and walked off in the opposite direction.
Song Shijun looked at the sweet couples and could only shrug at Qiqing. ¡°It looks like it¡¯s just the two of us left. How about some ghost stories?¡±
¡°Ghost stories, your head!¡± Han Qiqing threw the stick at him.
Nearby, Yu Zhe felt a lot more rxed as he observed them.
In the past, he thought that these people were out of his league. Now that he was interacting with them at such close quarters it felt a little different.
Yu Zhe looked up and gazed at the stars that hade out. It was a beautiful sparkling sight.
He thought that he would never forget this night.
¡
The next morning.
After Mu Xiaoxiao woke, she realized that Yin Shaojie was no longer by her side. She rubbed her eyes, stretched, and got up.
After grooming herself, she wrapped a thin coat around herself before heading out of the tent.
Unexpectedly, she saw Yin Shaojie about to do something bad.
There was a snake in his hands, and he was about to put it around Yu Zhe¡¯s neck.

Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened in shock. In a hurry, she shouted at him, ¡°Yin Shaojie!¡±
Yin Shaojie paused in his movement and turned around to look at her. He tutted, as if unhappy that he had been caught red-handed.
Mu Xiaoxiao hurried over, but didn¡¯t dare to go close. Pointing to the thing in his hand, she asked, ¡°Where did you find that snake? Is it venomous?¡±
¡°Rx, it isn¡¯t.¡± Yin Shaojie looked at the sleeping Yu Zhe, as though he was still thinking about his n.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°Even if it isn¡¯t venomous, it can bite, right? Hurry up and throw it away!¡±
¡°I spent a lot of effort trying to catch it.¡± Yin Shaojie seemed reluctant, but now that he had been found out by her, he couldn¡¯t continue his n to give Yu Zhe a hard time.
¡°Still ying with such things? Are you a three-year-old kid? Hurry up and throw it away!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao took a few steps back on purpose, looking as if she wouldn¡¯t go close to him if he didn¡¯t throw it away.
Yin Shaojieughed. ¡°Tell me which three-year-old ys with snakes then?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him vexedly, ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of being bitten?¡±
He looked leisurely and unhurried, and as though he was ying with a toy as he pinched the snake¡¯s head.
Yin Shaojie gestured to her. ¡°Come over and apany me while I put this away.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head, ¡°No, I don¡¯t dare to! Go yourself!¡±
Yin Shaojie red at her. ¡°If you don¡¯t apany me, I¡¯ll just throw it here.¡±
He made a move as if it throw it onto Yu Zhe as he said this.
Mu Xiaoxiao stopped him hastily and gave in. ¡°Okay, okay okay, I¡¯ll apany you! Really, why would you want to y with snakes out of nowhere¡¡±
Yin Shaojie was satisfied. He held out a hand to her so that she could hold his hand.
Because he had touched a snake before, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to touch him. Thus, she didn¡¯t hold her hand out, but only walked to his side and stood by him.
¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go.¡± She pushed his shoulder.
The pair walked to a spot far away before returning the snake back to the forest.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little worried. ¡°Would it remember you and bring it¡¯s family for revenge? I think we¡¯d better hurry back to the vi!¡±
Yin Shaojie was tickled by her words and reached out to hold her hand.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao avoided his hand and said disgustedly, ¡°Don¡¯t hold my hand! You haven¡¯t washed your hands!¡±
Yin Shaojie raised his brows. He took her little hand in his bossily, not allowing her to break free.
¡°You¡¯re not allowed to be disgusted by me, you hear?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. ¡°But you just touched a snake¡ I didn¡¯t forbid you from holding my hand, but can¡¯t you wash your hands before doing it?¡±
¡°No! We¡¯re going to wash our hands together.¡± Yin Shaojie smirked as he dragged her to the stream.
The pair squatted on a rock. He cupped some water up to help her wash her hands and then washed his too.
¡°Is this okay now?¡±
The pair¡¯s hands were now sparkling clean.
He shifted his grip and intertwined their fingers.
¡
Because there were still activities in the morning, the clique packed up their tents and returned to the vi.
Han Qiqing was in urgent need of the toilet and thus ran out in front. Unexpectedly, she saw a boy standing in the living room just as she entered, and she got a shock.
¡°Who are you? Why are you here?¡±
Han Qiqing looked puzzled. She thought about how Su Lin was the only one in this vi the night before. Now that there was an additional boy here, could she have¡
The boy looked a little embarrassed, but he still bowed respectfully to her and exined awkwardly, ¡°Miss Qiqing, I¡¯m the¡ I¡¯m the reward for your team¡¯s win¡ to be your servant for a day¡¡±

Han Qiqing suddenly recognized who the boy was. ¡°So it¡¯s you!¡±
Song Shijun also came in, dragging two luggages, and he asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Who¡¯s he?¡±
¡°He is our ve. Why didn¡¯t we see himst night?¡± Han Qiqing said as she pointed at the person.
Song Shijun chuckled and pulled Han Qiqing aside and whispered a few words in her ear.
Han Qiqing broke out intoughter.
¡°So that¡¯s why. You guys are too naughty.¡±
It turned out that they had deliberately left the boy in the vi. When Su Lin found that they were not in the vi, and she couldn¡¯t find them, she had no choice but to stay in the vi alone with this boy.
Han Qiqing then took a proper look at the boy¡¯s face. His face had lots of e¡
When Su Lin woke up in the middle of the night to see him did she get scared to death?
However, in this case, it was apparently difficult for her to get a good sleep!
Han Qiqing hurried to the toilet, then went to the room on the first floor, and knocked on the door.
¡°Su Lin? Are you still sleeping? It¡¯s already quitete now.¡±
After a while, the door opened. Su Lin came out with a gloomy face, looking very listless.
¡°Where did you guys gost night?¡± she asked.
Han Qiqing made an innocent expression, shrugged her shoulders, and said, ¡°Nowhere, we just camped in the valley.¡±
Su Lin¡¯s mouth twitched. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡±
¡°Oh, we forgot¡± Han Qiqing said, batting her eyes.
Then, Song Shijun called her from the living room, ¡°Qiqing, time for breakfast!¡±
¡°I¡¯ming!¡± Han Qiqing replied. Brushing aside Su Lin, Han Qiqing cheerfully skipped her way over, leaving behind the ashen-faced Su Lin.
¡
There was another group activity this morning. This time, they were grouped by ss as they participated in a weird ry race.
After the game was over, it was lunch time.
The Student Union¡¯s n was that after dinner, the students would have free time at the resort, and then at four o¡¯clock in the afternoon, the transport would pick them up to leave the resort.
After the meal, Mu Xiaoxiao was feeling sweaty after participating in the ry race, so she wanted to head back to the vi to take a shower.
Yin Shaojie originally wanted to apany her, but he was stopped by someone from the Student Union to go for a meeting.
Mu Xiaoxiao waved to him and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go back on my own. You go to the meeting.¡±
Yin Shaojie said worriedly, ¡°Where¡¯s Shijun and the others? Let them go back with you.¡±
¡°Okay, I got it. I¡¯ll going to find them. Go to the meeting then.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao replied casually.
Yin Shaojie ruffled her hair before he left.
Mu Xiaoxiao walked out. She initially wanted to give Mo Xiaomeng a call, but she remembered that Ye Sijue had taken Mu Xiaoxiao somewhere after the meal, probably to a date.
So she called Han Qiqing.
¡°I¡¯m assigning some work. Give me a minute.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was then reminded that Qiqing was also a member of the Student Union. She was probably busy with Student Union matters.
¡°No need. I will take the tour bus back. I¡¯ll find you after I take a shower.¡±
¡°Okay. Then call me after you shower.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao hung up the phone and looked up to see Yu Zhe not far away.
She went over. ¡°Are you going back today too?¡±
Yu Zhe looked reluctant to part, saying, ¡°I¡¯m going back now. Something came up at home¡ Xiaoxiao, thank you.¡±
Hisst sentence came out of nowhere. Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly for a moment before understanding what he meant.

She smiled and said, ¡°No need.¡±
Yu Zhe didn¡¯t mention anything about the matter of forgiving him. He knew that he wasn¡¯t qualified for that. He knew that he wasn¡¯t even qualified to be her friend, so he still needed to work hard.
For her to be willing to talk to him like this was already like a dream to him. He was already satisfied.
Then, a car arrived and stopped beside Yu Zhe. The chauffeur got out of the car and said respectfully to him, ¡°Young master.¡±
Then he went to open the back door to the back seats.
Yu Zhe said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°I¡¯m leaving.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded.
Yu Zhe wasn¡¯t moving, his eyes staring at her with reluctance, as if he wanted to imprint the look of her in his heart.
¡°I¡ may be going abroad to study soon.¡± He seemed agonized as he said.
Thus, he plucked up his courage toe to this autumn outing just to see her for thest time.
Initially, he had only wanted to hide in the shadows and look at her from afar so that he could imprint her into his memory. Thus, when he went abroad, he would be able to think about her and even imagine that they hade together for this autumn outing. He could then weave this into a beautiful memory that he was also a part of.
However, he didn¡¯t expect to be discovered, and she had treated him so well. This autumn outing really turned into a memory where he was also a part of.
He imagined that after going abroad, he could reminisce about this for many years toe.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. ¡°Abroad?¡±
¡°Yeah, I¡¯m going there to study to get into an overseas university.¡± He asked eagerly. ¡°What about you? Will you go to university in China, or abroad? Which school do you want to go to?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled, shaking her head. ¡°I haven¡¯t thought about that yet.¡±
Yu Zhe was slightly disappointed, but he didn¡¯t dare to continue asking further.
How he had hoped that he could know which school she wanted to go to, then he would do his best to get into that same school even if it killed him.
Even if he wouldn¡¯t be able to get close to her, but only to look at her from afar and to know what she was doing every day, he would be contented.
Mu Xiaoxiao nced at the chauffeur and said to him, ¡°You should go back then, goodbye.¡±
Yu Zhe was reluctant, but he had no choice but to leave.
After watching the car drive into the distance, Mu Xiaoxiao retracted her gaze. She was rxed, and she even hummed some leisurely tunes.
She took the tour bus back to the vi.
After taking a shower, thinking that they would be going backter, she packed her luggage.
They didn¡¯te here by taking the bus with their ssmates. In fact, they didn¡¯t have to wait for the bus and they could go back anytime they wanted to.
Thinking that it would take about two or three hours get back, it would be better if they returned earlier.
Yin Shaojie and her haven¡¯t been to the Yin residence for a while. So she wanted to head back to Yin residence straight, be in time for dinner, and spend a night at the Yin residence with Mama Yin and Papa Yin.
After packing the luggage, she was about to bring it out and give Yin Shaojie a call to see if he was done with the meeting.
However, she heard footsteps at the door.
They were very light as though whoever was making them was moving in a deliberate manner.
rmed, Mu Xiaoxiao just happened to see the ashtray on the table, so she walked to the side of the door with the ashtray in hand.
Then, the door was opened and a little head poked out.
¡°Ah! It¡¯s me!¡± Han Qiqing quickly yelled, seeing something about to drop on her.
Mu Xiaoxiao put down the ashtray and grumbled, ¡°Why are you trying to scare me?¡±
She was scared, thinking it was some evil dude.
Han Qiqingughed mischievously and said, embarrassed, ¡°I was only trying to scare you.¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her, puzzled, and asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you were busy? You¡¯re done already?¡±
Han Qiqing sneered, ¡°It¡¯s all because that young master of yours. After hearing that you were going back to the vi alone, he was afraid that something might happen to you, so he let me and Song Shijune over to apany you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help butugh. ¡°I¡¯m not a child anymore.¡±
After all the things that had happened, she was now very vignt.
Han Qiqing teased, ¡°But to the Great Master Yin you are his sweetheart. What would he do if anything happened to you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly changed the subject. ¡°Good that you two are here. Pack up quickly. Let¡¯s go back earlier.¡±
Han Qiqing didn¡¯t understand. ¡°Going back so early? It¡¯s only noon. Let¡¯s chill some more. There are still lots of ces and sceneries we haven¡¯t visited. Let¡¯s go take some pretty pictures~¡±
¡°No more visiting. We can take some photos, but we should head back before two o¡¯clock. I want to go visit Mama Yin.¡±
With that said, Han Qiqing certainly had no objections.
¡°Okay then.¡±
Han Qiqing helped her to bring the luggage out together, and she called Song Shijun toe and carry the luggage.
Song Shijun asked, ¡°Going back so fast?¡±
Han Qiqing kicked him. ¡°Hurry up and go pack up. And call Sijue and ask if he wants to go back together.¡±
¡°Why am I doing all the work? What will you be doing then?¡±
¡°I have to pack things up too.¡±
Song Shijun didn¡¯t know what to do with her, so he quickly carried the heavy luggage and brought it downstairs.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. ¡°Shijun, isn¡¯t it heavy?¡±
¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Song Shijun answered casually, carrying the luggage as if they weren¡¯t heavy.
Han Qiqing asked Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Is your luggage that heavy?¡±
¡°It¡¯s very heavy.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and looked back at Song Shijun. Staring at his arm, she didn¡¯t expect to see how tight his muscles were. The lines of his arms looked strong and manly and didn¡¯t look weak in the slightest.
Mu Xiaoxiao had a whole new level of respect for him. She tapped Han Qiqing and said, ¡°It seems like Shijun works out. Hey, what do you think? He seems to be in a pretty good shape!¡±
Han Qiqing disapproved and joked about it as usual. ¡°I don¡¯t think so! That chicken of a guy is in good shape? You¡¯d better not let the Great Master Yin hear of this. He will probably get jealous.¡±
Come to speak of it, Song Shijun was after all the mayor¡¯s son. He grew up in the military district. When he was younger, his family pushed him into the troops for training. Growing up, he trained even more intensely. It was just that whenever he was hanging out with them, he was always the yful guy.
Song Shijun took the luggage down, but he saw Su Lin returning unexpectedly.
Su Lin seemed to recognize that it was Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s luggage immediately, and she asked, ¡°Are you guys going back?¡±
Song Shijunughed and replied as if he was solving a big issue with little effort, ¡°No, we¡¯re just packing up early. Qiqing said that she still wanted to go take some pictures. When she¡¯s done, we can grab the luggage and go back.¡±
Su Lin nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll go and pack my luggage too then.¡±
Song Shijun waited for her to enter the room before he went to a corner, took out his cell phone and called Ye Sijue to ask him if he would go back together.
Hearing that Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie were going back to the Yin residence, he then said that he wouldn¡¯t be going back with them. He would return with Mo Xiaomengter.
Song Shijun hung up the phone and went upstairs to pack his stuff.
Behind him, Su Lin came out of the room and stared upstairs.

Not long after, Mu Xiaoxiao finished helping Han Qiqing pack up her things. She put the luggage upstairs for Song Shijun to move it, and the two went down.
¡°I¡¯m thirsty. I¡¯ll go get some water, Qiqing, what would you like to drink?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was just about to go to the fridge when she noticed Su Lin standing to the side, and their eyes met.
Seeing Su Lin giving her a friendly smile, Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned.
Was Su Lin possessed?
Su Lin followed her to the bridge and even helped her take out a drink, and then casually said, ¡°I just overheard Shijun talking to Ye Sijue over the phone that Ye Sijue won¡¯t be going back with you guys. Since there¡¯s still space in the car, can you give me a lift?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused and stared at her. ¡°Isn¡¯t your caring as well?¡±
Su Lin looked dejected as she said, ¡°It¡¯s going to take two or three hours to get. It¡¯s more fun to go back together. Sitting alone in the car is too boring. I don¡¯t even have anyone I can chat with.¡±
Then, she stared at Mu Xiaoxiao with pleading eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao confirmed that Su Lin must have been possessed by spirits!
Otherwise, why would she be talking to her like this?
Mu Xiaoxiao felt awkward. Though she didn¡¯t want to approve of Su Lining along, she felt that Su Lin had humbled herself, and it wouldn¡¯t seem very nice for her to reject Su Lin.
Han Qiqing, who was sitting on the sofa, overheard the conversation. She made eyes at Mu Xiaoxiao, telling her not to agree with Su Lin.
¡°This¡ Let¡¯s discuss this againter. I don¡¯t know what the situation is right now. Let me ask if Sijue really isn¡¯t going back with us.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao found an excuse to temporarily brush aside the matter.
Su Lin said naturally, ¡°Well, okay then. If he isn¡¯t going back with you guys, then you¡¯ll give me a lift in your car?¡±
Luckily, Song Shijun appeared.
¡°I¡¯ll tell you againter.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, and then she walked to Song Shijun with the drink in her hand.
¡°Alright,¡± Su Lin replied with a smile as though she was very happy. She then turned and went back to pack her luggage.
¡ª¡ª-
The other students were having fun, cheering andughing.
Under the shadow of a tree, An Zhixin was looking grave as she answered a phone call.
¡°But¡ I don¡¯t know how to do it¡ Do I just need to do this? But¡ I got it¡ Alright, I¡¯ll do it.¡±
Hanging up the phone, An Zhixin¡¯s eyes were quite flustered as she looked up at Mu Xiaoxiao not far away.
Mu Xiaoxiao was taking photos with Han Qiqing. The two beautiful girls were smiling cheerfully, basking in the beautiful sunshine.
The person who was taking pictures of them was Song Shijun.
An Zhixin only used to know about Yin Shaojie. Aftering to Shangde, she learned about who these other people were.
Song Shijun. He was the mayor¡¯s son¡
But even with his powerful status, which countless people tried to ingratiate themselves to, he was still being ordered around by Mu Xiaoxiao.
An Zhixin clenched her fists as she thought about the person¡¯s order. If she didn¡¯t do as mentioned, she would then lose everything that she had now.
She didn¡¯t want to be beaten back into how she was before!
Even if she knew clearly that this was all phony, that it was only a temporary enjoyment, and it would be taken back sooner orter.
But she¡ still chose to live a short-lived dream.
Because she knew that if it wasn¡¯t for that person giving her all of this, she wouldn¡¯t have been able to enter Shangde however hard she tried. She wouldn¡¯t have been able to live in such a luxurious vi, wear name-brand clothes every day costing tens of thousands yuan. She wouldn¡¯t be able to make contact with this world of the rich.
And she wouldn¡¯t be able to experience the life a wealthy young missy.
Chapter 737 - Don’t You Want To Know?
Chapter 737: Don¡¯t You Want To Know?
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
She thought it would be good even if it was just one more day. She would be happy being a wealthy missy even if was just for one more day!
An Zhixin gazed at Mu Xiaoxiao again. The arms drooping by her side trembled faintly. Then, her fists tightened even more.
Finally, after a few minutes, as though she had made up her mind, her expression changed. She took a deep breath and walked over to Mu Xiaoxiao.
After taking the photos, Mu Xiaoxiao was checking out the photos in the camera with Han Qiqing.
She seemed to have sensed someoneing. She instinctively looked up and saw An Zhixin.
An Zhixinpressed her lower lip and raised her chin as she walked up to Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, there is something I want to tell you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked away from her and said indifferently, ¡°I don¡¯t feel like hearing it.¡±
An Zhixin¡¯s eyes widened momentarily, and the hands hanging by her side clenched itself.
She tried to calm herself down and not be affected by Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s attitude, and then she smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t you want to know who let me into Shangde? This is something that concerns you. You really don¡¯t want to know about it?¡±
Upon hearing that the matter concerned her, Mu Xiaoxiao then properly faced her.
¡°Who is it?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had to admit that she was really curious about this. Who was it that made An Zhixin into a wealthy missy and allowed her to enter ss S?
Now she had gotten more information, that the person behind the scenes was targeting her.
So, who was the other party?
An Zhixin looked at Han Qiqing and Song Shijun and said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°This is a big secret. I can only tell you alone.¡±
Just as Han Qiqing was about to speak, Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her hand to stop her.
Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t so gullible. She stared suspiciously at An Zhixin, asking. ¡°Why are you telling me about this?¡±
The person behind the scenes gave An Zhixin all of this and made her into a wealthy young missy. It seemed like she was living quitefortably now.
Thus, there was no reason for her to betray that person.
An Zhixin looked down, her hands ced before herself gripping tightly. She looked nervous as she said, ¡°Because I don¡¯t want to be made use of and live in fear everyday. I can tell you who she is, but¡ I have a request.¡±
She looked up at Mu Xiaoxiao with a pleading gaze.
¡°Oh? What request?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao decided to hear her out and see what she could be up to.
An Zhixin paused, took a deep breath, and then she said, ¡°My request is very simple. I want to stay in Shangde. I don¡¯t have to stay in ss S. I can go to any other ss, as long as I can really be a student of Shangde. I know that this request is definitely not a problem at all for Young Master Jie.¡±
To be honest, Mu Xiaoxiao really didn¡¯t like to see her in ss S, especially when she was sitting in front of her. Every time she looked up, she would see An Zhixin. It was really affecting her mood.
Listening to An Zhixin¡¯s request, Mu Xiaoxiao thought that she seemed to be telling the truth.
So she nodded and said, ¡°Okay, then tell me all that you know.¡±
If the information that An Zhixin had was useful to her, then this request would indeed be reasonable.
An Zhixin hesitated as she looked around. Then she motioned her to the nearby bamboo pavilion and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go there and talk.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao then went with her.
Han Qiqing and Song Shijun exchanged nces, but they didn¡¯t follow behind them, only keeping eyes on them.
Suddenly, without warning, a hand came out from behind and tapped Han Qiqing¡¯s shoulder.
Chapter 738 - Whos That Person
Chapter 738: Who¡¯s That Person
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Han Qiqing jumped up in fright, almost shrieking out loud.
She turned around and saw Su Lin.
Han Qiqing schooled her expression andined unhappily, ¡°Why did you touch my back!¡±
F*ck, why was she even close to her!
Didn¡¯t she know that people can die of fright?
Su Lin looked as if she didn¡¯t expect her reaction to be so big and looked at her, surprised. She then said, ¡°Oh, sorry. What¡¯re you looking at so intently that you didn¡¯t even notice me?¡±
Han Qiqing was a little angry at her. She didn¡¯t really want to talk to her, and said flippantly. ¡°Nothing. Why are you here?¡±
Su Lin¡¯s lips curled down as she dragged her suitcase in front of her and said a little grumblingly, ¡°I couldn¡¯t find you guys after packing, and I thought you¡¯d left without me. Why didn¡¯t you wait for me?¡±
Han Qiqing mumbled, ¡°We¡¯d have gotten out of here faster if we¡¯d known.¡±
However, Yin Shaojie was still in the middle of his meeting, and they couldn¡¯t leave immediately even if they wanted to.
Song Shijun took up the role of a mediator. ¡°Alright, that¡¯s not important. What¡¯s more important is what¡¯s happening to Xiaoxiao over there.¡±
Su Lin looked over in the direction he was pointing. Puzzled, she asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±
¡°Shush, let¡¯s see what¡¯s going on first.¡± Song Shijun made a shushing motion at her.
Su Lin stayed with them to let herself in on the gossip too.
However, because of their distance, they couldn¡¯t hear what the two girls were talking about from where they were.
Han Qiqing elbowed Song Shijun and asked, ¡°Shijun, didn¡¯t you undergo physical training in the troops before? Do you know how to lip-read?¡±
Song Shijun didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. ¡°The troop training is physical. Why would they teach that?¡±
If he was able to get in the special forces, that could be possible.
However, lip reading wasn¡¯t something that could be learned easily, and it required a long period of time before it could be learned.
Han Qiqing was a little bummed. ¡°How can we find out what they¡¯re talking about then? This is boring!¡±
They couldn¡¯t tell what was going on based on just their expressions.
Su Lin couldn¡¯t help but to interrupt, ¡°Who¡¯s that girl? Oh yeah, I remember I¡¯ve seen her before. She¡¯s from the same ss as Xiaoxiao, right? I saw how weirdly she looks at Xiaoxiao, and it looks as though she hates her.¡±
Han Qiqing was a little surprised. ¡°You noticed that?¡±
It looked like Su Lin really paid a lot of attention to Xiaoxiao.
If she didn¡¯t know that she liked Yin Shaojie, she would have suspected her of liking Xiaoxiao.
Su Lin didn¡¯t reply, but continued to ask, ¡°She knows Xiaoxiao? Do they have any beef with each other?¡±
Han Qiqing shrugged purposely. ¡°I¡¯m not sure.¡±
Even if she knew, she wouldn¡¯t tell Su Lin.
On the other hand, in the bamboo pavilion.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to waste time with An Zhixin and cut to the chase. ¡°Can you tell me now? Who¡¯s that person?¡±
An Zhixin looked around, as though she was looking for someone.
When she saw Han Qiqing, her expression froze suddenly and she looked away hurriedly.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned as she observed her weird actions and waited for her reply.
An Zhixin took a step back and pointed over there, stammering, ¡°It¡¯s that¡ person.¡±
¡°Who? Can you be more specific?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s gaze was fixed on her face, and she felt that she was looking more and more suspicious.
An Zhixin looked hesitant for a little while before blurting, ¡°It¡¯s that Su Lin!¡±
Chapter 739 - I Don’t Want to be Used by Her
Chapter 739: I Don¡¯t Want to be Used by Her
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. ¡°You¡¯re saying it¡¯s her?¡±
It was as though An Zhixin was afraid that she wouldn¡¯t believe her as she nodded vigorously and said resolutely, ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s her! I didn¡¯t see her in the beginning, only the person she sent to contact me. After she came to Shangde, I identally saw her chauffeur and realized that it was her.¡±
She even told a lie to increase her credibility.
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t have a good rtionship with Su Lin, she still maintained her suspicious attitude and asked, ¡°Since you said you¡¯ve never seen her, how can you determine that it¡¯s her based off a chauffeur? How do you know it¡¯s not her chauffeur who¡¯s colluding with someone else?¡±
¡°I¡¡± An Zhixin was rendered speechless by her interrogation and could only say anxiously, ¡°It¡¯s really her! Can you trust me? She¡¯s really the one who bribed me and wants to harm you!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao crossed her arms, looking amused as she asked, ¡°Tell me then, how does the person who bribed you intend to harm me?¡±
An Zhixin lowered her gaze surreptitiously and looked at the watch on her wrist.
There was one minute left¡
She endured the cold sweat on her forehead and pointed to where Su Lin was, saying agitatedly, ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can ask her in person! She didn¡¯t tell me how she was going to hurt you, but she said that she was going to do it soon so I¡¯m really scared. I don¡¯t want to be used by her. I don¡¯t want to harm anyone¡¡±
The three people noticed An Zhixin pointing at them repeatedly, of course.
Han Qiqing and Song Shijun looked at each other.
Han Qiqing asked, ¡°Is she pointing at me?¡±
Song Shijun was puzzled as well. ¡°I don¡¯t think she¡¯s pointing at me. If she¡¯s not pointing at you, then she must be pointing at¡¡±
He looked at Su Lin beside him.
The corner of Su Lin¡¯s lips turned downwards. She sneered, ¡°I think she¡¯s pointing at me!¡±
She threw down her suitcase and walked towards the bamboo pavilion.
¡°Eh!¡± Han Qiqing wanted to stop her, but she couldn¡¯t do so in time. She looked at Song Shijun, shocked. ¡°What¡¯s the matter now?¡±
Song Shijun shrugged. ¡°If you ask me, who am I going to ask?¡±
Now that Su Lin had gone one, Han Qiqing whispered a suggestion, ¡°Should we go closer?¡±
Song Shijun nodded. ¡°Sure!¡±
Thus, the two of them crept over slowly.
Su Lin wasn¡¯t a person who could take criticism from others, and thus walked really fast, her face dark. Abandoning all restraint, she rushed up and red at An Zhixin. ¡°Were you pointing at me?¡± she asked.
An Zhixin jumped in fright and shifted away, trying to hide.
She then looked down at the time again hurriedly, and seemed to receive another shock. Her face was pale as she shuffled outwards slowly. She was now standing at the edge of the bamboo pavilion.
Su Lin looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, ¡°What did she say to you? Was she talking ill about me?¡±
¡°No, we weren¡¯t talking about you,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao replied her dismissively, all the while staring at An Zhixin¡¯s weird expression.
An Zhixin was tense all over. She looked very anxious as she shuffled outwards, as if she wanted to get the f*ck out of there.
Su Lin looked at An Zhixin. ¡°You really weren¡¯t talking about me?¡±
¡°Alright, get out of here. I¡¯ve got something to talk to her about.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao wanted Su Lin to leave so that she could continue asking An Zhixin some questions.
Just then, the pir nearby exploded.
An Zhixin¡¯s pupils contracted.
It was as though she had prepared for this. Within a second of the explosion, she had already made a mad dash out of the bamboo pavilion to somewhere far away.
Chapter 740 - Giving Her a Push
Chapter 740: Giving Her a Push
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao and Su Lin had no time to react as the other three pirs exploded after it.
Within about a second, the ceiling of the bamboo pavilion swayed and was going to crash down.
¡°Run¡ª¡ª!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shouted to Su Lin.
Su Lin was standing further inside. Pale-faced as she saw the ceiling about toe crashing down, Su Lin suddenly reached out and pushed Mu Xiaoxiao.
Falling out of the bamboo pavilion, Mu Xiaoxiao heard the loud crash behind her apanied by Su Lin¡¯s shriek.
¡°Su Lin!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao screamed anxiously.
Han Qiqing and Song Shijun had reacted immediately following the first explosion.
Unfortunately, when they ran over, it was already toote. They could only witness the scene of Su Lin disappearing under the sea of bamboo.
The other students who were ying nearby were also frightened by the crashing noises, and they turned to look.
Everyone was shocked at the sight of the copsed bamboo pavilion.
Han Qiqing rushed to the Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s and asked worriedly, ¡°Xiaoxiao, are you okay?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stood up and said anxiously, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Save Su Lin quickly! She is buried inside!¡±
Putting aside his usual yfulness, Song Shijun¡¯s expression was strict as he instructed Han Qiqing, ¡°Hurry up and call the resort¡¯s staff!¡±
Then he quickly went forward to remove the toppled bamboos.
¡°Okay!¡± Han Qiqing was a little slow in her reply, her hand trembled as she took out her cell phone to make the call.
No one ever expected that the autumn outing would end in such a way.
¡ª¡ª-
Su Lin was sent to the nearest hospital by emergency evacuation.
Although bamboo was light, the weight of the bamboo when added up was not to be taken lightly.
Fortunately, she was standing in the middle of the pavilion, and the top of the pavilion was concave, so it didn¡¯t crash onto her head, only crushing her foot. It could be said to be a fortunate event in the midst of all the tragedy.
¡°The damage on the lower leg is more serious. There are some fractures. It would take at least half a month of recuperation¡¡±
After giving some instructions, the doctor assigned nurses to take care of her, and nodded at them before he left the ward.
After the anesthetic had worn off, Su Lin, who was lying on the sickbed, was in so much pain that she kept gasping heavily.
At the side, Yin Shaojie was holding Mu Xiaoxiao tightly as he watched Su Lin. Thinking that Xiaoxiao could very well have been the one lying there in pain instead, his hands tensed as he kissed Mu Xiaoxiao on her forehead.
After the doctor left, Mu Xiaoxiao looked a little grave. She pushed Yin Shaojie away lightly and went to sit by the bed. Then, she stared at Su Lin and said, ¡°How are you feeling now?¡±
Su Lin was exuding cold sweat from the pain and bit her lower lip. She asked in reply, ¡°What do you think?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed. ¡°The doctor said that you have to wait for the anesthetic to wear off before you can take painkillers. Bear with it for awhile.¡±
¡°You don¡¯t say?¡± Su Lin¡¯s tone wasn¡¯t very pleasant.
No one would be in a good mood if they were in this painful situation.
It was rare that Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t try to argue with her. Thinking about what happened earlier, she wore aplicated expression as she stared at Su Lin. Then, she finally asked Su Lin, ¡°Why¡ Why did help me earlier?¡±
If it wasn¡¯t for Su Lin who pushed her away, with how fast things happened and how close she was, she probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to escape from the bamboo pavilion.
In other words, she might also have been caught in the copse, and she probably would have taken greater injuries than Su Lin.
But what she could hardly believe was that Su Lin actually chose to push her away under those circumstances.
Chapter 741 - Not Such a Bad Person
Chapter 741: Not Such a Bad Person
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Su Lin curled her lower lip, and she said in a rough tone, ¡°Don¡¯t ask me. I don¡¯t know either¡±
With that said, she faced away, looking as though she didn¡¯t want to see Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t continue to probe. She was reminded of something else, and she said awkwardly, ¡°I called Su Uncle and Su Auntie, but they weren¡¯t in China, so they couldn¡¯te. But they have sent the butler.¡±
Su Lin¡¯s head hung down, looking slightly dejected. She suddenlyid down and pulled up the nket to cover herself, and she said gloomily, ¡°I know.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nced at Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie walked over to her side and said to Su Lin, ¡°It¡¯ste. We¡¯ll go back now ande see you again tomorrow.¡±
¡°Go then,¡± Su Lin said coldly.
Han Qiqing, who had been quietly standing at one side, then said, ¡°Su Lin, have a good rest.¡±
Then, the group left the ward.
After a certain distance, Song Shijun couldn¡¯t help but marvel and said, ¡°If I hadn¡¯t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn¡¯t have believed that it actually happened! Su Lin actually saved Xiaoxiao? Xiaoxiao, aren¡¯t you two enemies? Could it be that you have developed a bond with her after squabbling with her all this time?¡±
Han Qiqing rubbed her chin, looking serious in analysis as she said, ¡°Actually, when we used to interact with Su Lin, we didn¡¯t think that she was such a bad person. But for some reason, Su Lin and Xiaoxiao just couldn¡¯t seem to get along. They would start quarreling the moment theye into contact. Perhaps it is their birth charts that are ipatible?¡±
Then, Han Qiqing and Song Shijun both turned to look at Yin Shaojie at the same time.
They were both thinking the same thing.
Perhaps Yin Shaojie was the biggest reason why Su Lin and Mu Xiaoxiao weren¡¯t getting along.
Su Lin liked Yin Shaojie, but Yin Shaojie was closest and most intimate toward Xiaoxiao. It was only natural that Su Lin would feel enmity toward Xiaoxiao.
Han Qiqing recalled that in the four years when Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t around and Su Lin was hanging out with them, she was not a bad person. She wouldn¡¯t be quarreling with them. During their birthdays, she would even take the initiative to prepare gifts for them.
Perhaps if it wasn¡¯t because of Xiaoxiao, Han Qiqing wouldn¡¯t even be hating on Su Lin.
Song Shijun mimicked Qiqing, rubbing his chin and ruminating as he said, ¡°Did Su Lin push Xiaoxiao on instinct, or was it because she actually cared for Xiaoxiao?¡±
Han Qiqing recalled the scene that she saw at the time and analyzed, saying, ¡°At that time¡ I remember that Su Lin was standing further inside. Given how far she was, it was impossible for her to run out in time. Was it because of this that she chose to help Xiaoxiao? Since she wouldn¡¯t be able to escape anyways.¡±
Song Shijun shook his fingers and disagreed, saying, ¡°It was such a desperate situation. How could she have time to consider so much? It was probably an instinctive reaction.¡±
Han Qiqing stared at him. ¡°So what you are saying, that Su Lin is still a kind person?¡±
Song Shijun spread his hands open and said very impartially, ¡°I don¡¯t think she has done anything wrong except quarrel with Xiaoxiao, right?¡±
¡°Seems like it. Su Lin is only against Xiaoxiao.¡±
¡°Sigh. When love rivals meet, their eyes ze with hatred. It¡¯s only normal.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao kept silent as she listened to the two talking.
Yin Shaojie held her hand. Without saying anything, he only wrapped his big hand over her little hand, warming her hand with the heat from his.

The four came out from the hospital. As usual, Song Shijun was the one to send Han Qiqing home.
In the car.
Yin Shaojie looked to Mu Xiaoxiao, who was still in a daze, and he leaned over to help her buckle her seat belt.
Mu Xiaoxiao instinctively tried to get up from her seat, but suddenly, her pinched her chin. Then his sexy lips pressed against her.
She was stunned, and her hand reached out to push Yin Shaojie.
¡°I¡¯m not in the mood¡¡±
Yin Shaojie pecked on her lips and stared at her, and he said in a bossy tone, ¡°I don¡¯t like you thinking about other people, even if it¡¯s a woman!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked into his eyes. His ck eyes were like the star-filled night sky. They seemed magicallyforting as she slowly calmed down.
Her little hand, still on his chest, felt the steady heartbeat beneath her palm.
Mu Xiaoxiao spread her arms at his waist and embraced him.
She ced her ear next to his chest as she listened to his strong heartbeat.
Yin Shaojie stroked her head as he kissed her hair repeatedly.
¡°This isn¡¯t your fault. You don¡¯t have to me yourself.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her little head. ¡°I¡¯m just confused¡¡±
She had a vague feeling that the matter wasn¡¯t that simple.
An Zhixin didn¡¯te to surrender to her, right? It was all just a trap.
Actually, she was already suspicious of what An Zhixin said from the start. Or perhaps she didn¡¯t even believe her at all.
However, she was still too curious to know who was manipting An Zhixin, so she wanted to get some clues by questioning An Zhixin.
She had thought nothing would happen when so many people were watching. But she never expected things to turn out like this.
Yin Shaojie looked down and saw her eyebrows knitted tightly.
He held her slightly farther, holding her little face in his hands, his thin lipsnded on her brows. Gently kissing in an assertive yet gentle manner, he soothed her anxiousness.
¡°Alright, if you¡¯re confused then stop thinking. Let your brain rest a bit.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted slightly, and she said gloomily, ¡°It¡¯s not like I can control what I think¡¡±
¡°I have a way.¡±
Yin Shaojie said in a low voice, his kiss shifted down to her nose, to the tip of her nose, to the corner of her lips, and then it urately imprinted itself on her little mouth.
Yin Shaojie said in a low voice, his kissnded on the bridge of her nose, to the tip of her nose, to the corner of her lips, and then it urately imprinted itself on her little mouth.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t withstand the hot kisses, even her breathing had be irregr as she could only swallow the air that he was breathing unto her.
Her little hand grasped tightly at his shirt like a drowning man holding onto driftwood.
Her mind, originally a lump of confusion, was suddenly clear.
When she was about to suffocate, Yin Shaojie finally released her.
Mu Xiaoxiao gasped heavily, her chest rising and falling vigorously. Her little hand was still tightly gripping his shirt as she stared at him stupidly.
Yin Shaojie stared at her cheeks that were red from arousal.
Their breaths intertwined, and the air inside the car seemed to be getting hotter.
He chuckled faintly, ¡°How is it? Is it effective?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was tickled, and she gave a smile.
She had to admit. It was really effective!
His slender fingers helped to tidy her hair, then he sat back in his seat. He stared at her sinisterly, his voice husky as he said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go home then. If you feel confused again, just tell me. I still have a lot of ways to help you clear your head.¡±

Knowing what he meant, Mu Xiaoxiao reacted immediately. Her face reddened and she pushed his hand away, blushing. ¡°Hurry up and drive. I¡¯m a little hungry, can you cook some noodles for me when we get back?¡± she said.
¡°Okay.¡± Yin Shaojie smiled and nodded, starting the car.
Originally, they had nned to return to the Yin residence in the afternoon, but because of Su Lin, they couldn¡¯t go there temporarily, and had no choice but to return to the condominium.
After reaching home, Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little tired and took a shower first. Yin Shaojie, on the other hand, went over to the study, musing to himself.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s bath took quite a while as shey in the bathtub daydreaming.
Suddenly, she heard knocking on the door. It was only then that she returned to her senses.
¡°Xiaoxiao, are you not done yet?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice came from outside, sounding worried.
Mu Xiaoxiao tried to get up, but her foot slipped. Her entire body slid into the bathtub and the water almost went into her nose. Luckily, she quickly grabbed onto the side of the bathtub.
After cleaning off the water from her face, she coughed before answering, ¡°I¡¯m done. I¡¯ll being out soon.¡±
It was only then that she realized that the water in the bathtub had already cooled.
Standing up, she sneezed once. She then hurriedly used a towel to cover herself and felt her body warm up a little.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice rang out again, obviously still standing outside.
¡°Nothing,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao replied, but she sneezed in the following second again.
Could she have caught a cold?
She was a little annoyed. She shouldn¡¯t have daydreamed in the bathtub.
After changing into her pajamas, she dried her hair with a towel before opening the door and walking out.
As expected, Yin Shaojie was leaning against the wall opposite the door, waiting for her.
¡°Why did you take so long in the shower today?¡± he asked as he reached out and snatched the towel from the hands. He used his warmrge hands to help her dry her wet hair.
¡°I didn¡¯t take very long, did I? I¡¯m too tired today, so I took a bath.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao tried to reach out to snatch her towel back as she exined. ¡°Be gentle, aiyoh, you don¡¯t have to dry my hair for me; I¡¯ll do it myself. You¡¯re making me dizzy from shaking my head so much.¡±
Yin Shaojie cast a look at her. How dare she feel unappreciative of him drying her hair for her?
¡°Come over here and sit down,¡± he said, as he led her over to the sofa and settled her down. His hand motions became gentler.
With her back to him, Mu Xiaoxiao sat crossed legged on the sofa, and had no choice but to submit to his ¡°vition¡± of her head.
Before half a minute of this had passed, she started to daydream again.
Yin Shaojie looked at the food on the table and said to her, ¡°Do you not smell anything?¡±
She was a glutton and would usually notice good food immediately. However, even though the smell of food permeated the entire room, she was still sitting there indifferently.
¡°Ah? What?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and asked, a little stunned.
Yin Shaojie reached out a long arm and turned her around to face him.
¡°Are you thinking about what happened today again? Didn¡¯t I tell you not to dwell on it unproductively anymore? Empty your mind first. Some things will smoothen themselves out when you wake up tomorrow.¡±
¡°How¡¯s that easy to do?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. Sighing, she said, ¡°However, I don¡¯t think I¡¯m able to figure out why this happened with my level of intellect. Say, don¡¯t you think the incident wasn¡¯t an ident?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not an ident,¡± Yin Shaojie said surely.
¡°I¡¯ve already sent someone to do a check on that bamboo pavilion. It¡¯s impossible for it to be an ident from the damage caused, so it must have been deliberately engineered by someone.¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s lips pursed into a thin line. She said faintly, ¡°I was thinking it¡¯d be good if An Zhixin really gave up, even though I still have my suspicions. But I really hope she turns over a new leaf and bes a good person¡¡±
Yin Shaojie dried the ends of her hair as he lowered his head and gave her a peck on her lips. ¡°Stop thinking about it already, and let me think about these troublesome things instead. Are you not hungry? I bought a lot of your favorite food. You have to finish them, you hear?¡±
It was only then that Mu Xiaoxiao turned her gaze towards the dining table, and she stared at the sheer amount of food on it.
¡°You want me to finish all of that? Do you want me to get fat?¡±
Yin Shaojie chuckled lightly as he touched her cheek with his long and slender fingers. ¡°I¡¯d like you to be a little fatter so that you¡¯ll feel fluffy when I hug you. It¡¯d be veryfortable.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao puckered her lips and pped his fingers away. ¡°I don¡¯t want to be fat! My current figure is on point. Why, you don¡¯t like it?¡±
Yin Shaojie narrowed his dark eyes, as though he was scrutinizing her figure from head to toe.
His gazended on her chest and he nodded. ¡°I like it, I like it very much.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao knew what he was referring to, of course, and reached out to hit him on his head.
¡°Pervert!¡±
¡°You¡¯re calling me a pervert just because I looked at it?¡± Yin Shaojie cocked his brows in disagreement. His dark eyes misted over sinisterly, and he smirked a little, making his entire aura devilish.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that this roguish look of him was very handsome. It was a handsomeness that pierced straight through a girl¡¯s heart and made her want to shriek.
¡°Where¡¯s the hairdryer? I want to blow-dry my hair. The food will get cold if we don¡¯t eat it soon.¡± She hurriedly changed the subject, trying not to look at him for she felt as though she was about to be bewitched.
Yin Shaojie found the hairdryer from the drawer. Plugging it into an outlet, he gave it to her to blow dry her hair.
Now that they could only hear the st of the hairdryer by their ears, the pair was silent.
However, the atmosphere was still warm and sweet.
After blow-drying her hair, Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go and eat something so that you don¡¯t get hungry.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smoothed her hair with her fingers before hugging his arm and beaming. ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go and have some food!¡±
It was only then that she finally smelled the aroma of the food.
¡°Wow! My favorite BBQ wings! And strawberry cake!¡±
Sure enough, it was the best thing to have a good meal when one was troubled by things, for it helped one throw these troubles to the back of one¡¯s head quickly.
There was nothing a good meal couldn¡¯t solve. If there was, then one should have two good meals!
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t even wear her gloves, but took up a BBQ wing directly using her fingers and started to wolf down the meat.
Beside her, Yin Shaojie admired the way she ate as he ate some egg noodles and felt his appetite increase.
His phone rang only after two mouthfuls of food.
Yin Shaojie took his phone out. He looked thoughtful as he saw who the caller was.
He gestured to Mu Xiaoxiao to continue eating while he stood up and took the call near the balcony.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± His voice sounded cid.
The person on the other side paused for two seconds before Su Lin¡¯s voice rang out. It sounded a little lonely and aggrieved as she said, ¡°I¡¯m just¡ Being alone in a hospital is so lonely. My leg hurts too, and I feel like crying all the time. My mood is very bad. Sorry, I know I shouldn¡¯t have called you, but I couldn¡¯t control myself and I wanted to hear your voice.¡±
¡°Shaojie, I only wanted to hear your voice. Please don¡¯t be angry, okay?¡±
Chapter 745 - Thinking About You Uncontrollably (3)

Yin Shaojie¡¯s face was emotionless as he said, ¡°I¡¯m not angry. You don¡¯t have to do this either; you can tell the doctor if you¡¯re in pain. The anesthetic should have worn off already, so you can take some painkillers.¡±
Su Lin sniffed and her voice sounded a little choked as she said, ¡°Can you not use such a cold tone of voice to talk to me? I can¡¯t take it. It hurts me so, so much.¡±
Any boy who heard such an aggrieved voice would have been moved.
However, Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t moved by it at all. His attention had been fixed on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eating figure. That girl was not curious about who he was talking to at all, only caring about eating her BBQ wings. She even licked her lips after finishing it. It was a childish gesture that made her look like a little kid.
Yin Shaojieughed lightly.
Su Lin was silent for a while and didn¡¯t continue talking anymore.
¡°Rest well,¡± Yin Shaojie said, preparing to hang up.
Su Lin stopped him hurriedly, ¡°Wait, I still have something to say.¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t feel like listening to anything else she might want to say, but he recalled that she had not only saved Xiaoxiao today, but was also lying in the hospital injured, and thus didn¡¯t hang up instantly, but maintained the call.
¡°Speak.¡±
He was going to let her speak everything in one shot, so that she couldn¡¯t bother him in the future.
Su Lin said faintly, ¡°Do you still remember what you promised me before?¡±
¡°What?¡± Yin Shaojie frowned.
What had he promised her before? He had no recollection of it at all.
Su Lin was upset. Her voice sounded aggrieved as she said, ¡°You¡¯ve forgotten, haven¡¯t you? Try to recall it yourself. I¡¯m not going to remind you. You promised, so you can¡¯t go back on your word.¡±
¡°Just tell me directly ¡ª what have I promised you?¡± He didn¡¯t want to y games of ¡°push-and-pull¡± with her.
Just then, Mu Xiaoxiao lifted up her head and looked towards him.
Mysteriously, Yin Shaojie actually felt a little guilty. He averted his gaze and even turned around, pretending to look at the night sky outside.
Mu Xiaoxiao blinked confusedly. Pushing her chair away, she stood up.
Yin Shaojie heard the sound of the chair against the floor and his heart jolted. He thought that Mu Xiaoxiao was walking over because she thought that he was acting weird.
He turned around a little anxiously, but only saw Mu Xiaoxiao enter the kitchen and wash her hands.
It was only then that he released the breath that he had been holding slowly.
On the phone, Su Lin¡¯s stubborn voice rang out as she said, ¡°I won¡¯t tell you. I want you to remember it yourself, because you owe it to me. You must do what you promised to. I know that you aren¡¯t a person who fails to keep promises.¡±
Yin Shaojie gritted his teeth slightly and said a little impatiently, ¡°What have I promised you? Tell me straight up if you want, if not, you can pretend that it never happened!¡±
¡°How can you do this¡¡± Su Lin sounded like she was crying as sheined.
Yin Shaojie pinched the space between his brows. He regretted picking her call up.
He was clearly aware of how she was like. It was only bypletely shattering her delusions that she wouldn¡¯t bother him anymore.
After washing her hands and walking out, Mu Xiaoxiao looked over at him involuntarily.
Yin Shaojie smiled at her calmly.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t suspect anything. She walked back, sat down, and started to eat her favorite strawberry cake.
¡°Alright, it¡¯ste. You should rest.¡± Yin Shaojie thought that he should give a good think over this matter and recall what he had promised Su Lin.
This was because he knew that Su Lin wouldn¡¯t reveal it to him easily, so that she could use it as a chance to create more interactions with him.

Su Lin read the mood and didn¡¯t interrogate him further. She said in a hopeful, earnest voice, ¡°Can you bid me goodnight?¡±
Yin Shaojie obviously didn¡¯t do so, but only said a mild goodbye to her before hanging up.
When he walked over to Mu Xiaoxiao, his expression had returned to normal. He sat down, resting on arm over the back of Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s chair.
If she asked what he had been talking about earlier, should he tell the truth, or¡
Unexpectedly, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t pay any attention to him. She was focused on the good food in front of her, stuffing her mouth full like a little hamster.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s originally low mood was now remedied by her. Amused, he reached out and poked her puffy cheeks.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, you must have been starving in your past life!¡±
Before this, she had said that she shouldn¡¯t eat too much at night or she would put on weight and be fat. Now, she was filling herself with delicacies without stopping at all.
Mu Xiaoxiao pierced a fishball. She grinned as she held it up to his mouth and even said, ¡°Ah¡ª¡±
It was rare for Yin Shaojie to be able to be served by her and he was very willing to do it. He opened his mouth to let her feed him.
¡°Is it delicious?¡± There was a devilish glint in Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes as she asked him.
Yin Shaojie felt a pungent odor attacking his nose fiercely right as he closed his mouth.
The color of his face changed and he looked at her with his dark eyes.
This girl had actually put mustard on it!
Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression was deceptively calm. He smiled as he chewed the food in his mouth. Swallowing, he said, ¡°It¡¯s delicious.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. Did he not feel choked by the pungent vor?
¡°The mustard on it was a little too little,¡± Yin Shaojie drawled. He pierced a fishball and dipped it into a lot of mustard.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him, shocked.
So much mustard! Was he not afraid that he would be choked by the pungent odor?
Yin Shaojie made a move as if to put the fishball into his mouth before looking at her and saying, ¡°There¡¯s something on your mouth.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that there was some cream from the cake, and poked her tongue out to lick her lips.
¡°Also,¡± Yin Shaojie said as he put the fishball into his mouth and chewed. Suddenly, he leaned his handsome face close.
In a swift motion, he took her chin in his hands. His dark eyes stared at her and he was smiling a little sinisterly.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused before she realized what he was about to do. She hastily pushed against his chest with her two hands to prevent his lips froming close.
¡°Boohoo, I know I was in the wrong. Can you let me off?¡±
Yin Shaojie spat the fishball out. Cupping her little face, he pressed down and took her mouth in his.
At first, Mu Xiaoxiao was worried that he had mustard in his mouth, and she scrunched up her face.
However, she breathed a sigh of relief quickly.
Nevertheless, his mouth smelled like curry fishball¡
¡
The next day.
An Zhixin got out from the car and the chauffeur drove off without saying a word.
She clutched her bag a little anxiously. Perhaps her thoughts were going wild because she was afraid, but she felt like the chauffeur was acting cold towards her today, and he hadn¡¯t even greeted her when previously, he would greet her with ¡°Miss¡± or something.
An Zhixin shook her head. She must be reading too much into this.
However, the unease she was feeling grew and grew, and she didn¡¯t dare to walk into Shangde anymore.
What should she do?
Would Mu Xiaoxiao suspect her?
ording to the situation then, no one should connect her with the incident. If she hadn¡¯t run off so fast, she might have been hit.
Yes, with her good acting, no one would suspect her.
An Zhixinforted herself internally.

However, she also thought about what she would say if Mu Xiaoxiao came over to interrogate her.
She was so deep in thought that she didn¡¯t hesitate when walking into the school.
She didn¡¯t even realize that the students beside her were looking at her weirdly.
Just then, something hit her and drew her attention back to the present.
¡°What is¡¡±
Before she could finish her sentence, another thingnded on her head and broke open instantly, causing her head to be covered in a viscous liquid.
It was a raw egg!
An Zhixin was stunned. She touched the egg-liquid on her head, confused by what was going on.
¡°An Zhixin, you slut! Get out of Shangde!¡±
¡°You¡¯re so vicious, trying to plot to hurt Miss Su Lin and Mu Xiaoxiao like that. We should call the police and make them arrest her!¡±
¡°Right! Arrest this bad egg!¡±
The people around her were all very angry and threw whatever they could at her.
The person who had thrown an egg even gave the eggs that he had gotten from somewhere to other people around him so that they could throw them at her too.
An Zhixin waspletely stunned.
She didn¡¯t know what was going on. How did she incur the wrath of the crowd?
More and more people crowded around her and scolded her. Every one of them looked fierce. An Zhixin heard them mention Mu Xiaoxiao and Su Lin¡¯s names, and they all used her of hurting Su Lin.
An Zhixin shook her head and waved her hands. ¡°It wasn¡¯t me. It¡¯s not rted to me!¡±
However, no one listened to her. It was as if they had already determined that she was the one behind the ident.
An Zhixin had been feeling guilty from the start, scared that people would know that she was an aplice. Thus, she was absolutely panicking right now and ran off as if she was escaping.
On the way, she could feel everyone gesticting at her.
When An Zhixin walked to the Year One building, she heard someone mention Weibo. She took out her phone hurriedly and logged in to Weibo, checking out the Shangde Gossip Society page that she often surfed through.
She saw thetest Weibo. It was a video.
Her hand was shaking as she clicked on the video to view it.
The video had been taken from the time when she walked over to Mu Xiaoxiao until the time when the explosion happened. It showed her escaping in panic before the bamboo pavilion copsed in the next second, and Su Lin pushing Mu Xiaoxiao away, causing the former to be buried underneath.
The entire process had been clearly shown. Anyone who had eyes could see how weirdly she had been acting.
In thements, a Year One ss S student testified that An Zhixin had been targeting Mu Xiaoxiao in ss and that their rtionship didn¡¯t look too good. Thus, he deduced that An Zhixin must have tried to harm Xiaoxiao, but Su Lin appeared unexpectedly and saved Mu Xiaoxiao.
There were manyments from the boys in the discussion. Their hearts were aching for their Miss Su Lin, and they eximed that they wanted to take revenge for Miss Su Lin by chasing An Zhixin out of the school.
¡ª¡ª We mustn¡¯t let such a vicious woman stay in Shangde!
¡ª¡ª Chase her out of Shangde!
¡ª¡ª How dare she hurt my female goddess! I will kill her if I see her!
Someone also voiced their puzzlement, ¡°An Zhixin was only an ordinary girl from Second High, and her family was very poor too. How did she get into our school? Doesn¡¯t anyone find it weird?
Upon seeing thisment, An Zhixin was flooded with apprehension. She was panic-stricken, and had the feeling of fear associated with being exposed.
What should she do?
What was going on? How did things get to this stage!

An Zhixin¡¯s legs went a little soft, and she almost couldn¡¯t stand up properly anymore.
¡°Look here quick, it¡¯s An Zhixin!¡±
¡°An Zhixin, you still have the shame toe to school? Malicious people like you should go to h*ll!¡±
Someone shouted from behind her suddenly.
Before An Zhixin could turn around in time, someone grabbed her ponytail and pulled.
Her scalp felt as though it was about to be pulled off from her head and she exhaled in pain.
¡°L-Let go of me!¡± An Zhixin used her bag to hit the person behind her, and took the chance to dash off towards her ssroom when the person let go briefly.
She thought that she would be fine once she reached her ss. However, before she could even step into ss, the girls from her ss had already blocked the door.
The leading girl crossed her arms and looked at her with disdain. ¡°An Zhixin, trash like you doesn¡¯t deserve to be in ss S. Hurry up and scram!¡±
¡°It¡¯d be too easy on her if we only told her to scram. We should punish her for Mu Xiaoxiao and Sister Su Lin before hauling her to jail to be locked up!¡±
¡°How can there be such a vicious person in ss S! We should submit a petition to the principal to request that she be kicked out of ss S!¡±
¡°She should get the f*ck out of Shangde!¡±
¡°Get out of Shangde!¡±
An Zhixin was forced into a corner and she stared at them helplessly, exining in a panic, ¡°I didn¡¯t cause them harm! It was an ident, it was really an ident! I¡¯m also a victim! I only ran off a little faster. You can¡¯t frame me as the perpetrator just because of that! I¡¯m innocent, I¡¯m really innocent!¡±
The girl in fron spat at her and said angrily, ¡°Who are you lying to! Do you think we¡¯re all idiots? You behave so badly towards Mu Xiaoxiao usually and suddenly you call Mu Xiaoxiao to talk, led her to that particr bamboo pavilion, and now you¡¯re saying it wasn¡¯t your n? Do you think we¡¯re all idiots like you?¡±
Then, the rest of the girls pointed to her suspicious behavior in the video as if they were detectives.
For example, she had checked her watch frequently and her face was taut, as though she knew that there was going to be an ident.
Saying she was innocent?
No one believed that!
¡°Also, the management of the resort had already checked the site out. They said that it wasn¡¯t an ident, but deliberately engineered by someone!¡±
¡°If Mu Xiaoxiao and Sister Su Lin weren¡¯t lucky, they would have been killed by you! How dare you act pitiful here? We will never believe you!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t waste your words on her. Sister Su Lin¡¯s still lying in the hospital. I heard that her leg was injured so badly it needs half a month to recover, and there may be some lingering effects. Sister Su Lin is so miserable ¡ª we must take revenge for her!¡±
Just then, someone emptied a bottle of water at An Zhixin.
The rest rushed up to teach her a lesson.
An Zhixin¡¯s hair had been messed up from being pulled earlier and she was now being pushed and pulled everywhere. She had something dirty sshed on her, and she looked as unkempt as a drowned rat.
¡°Stop it!¡± a voice shouted and pushed the crowd apart.
Someone turned around and eximed, ¡°Miss Qiqing? Why are you here?¡±
Everyone else stopped what they were doing and turned back to look at Han Qiqing, puzzled by her appearance. Also, why did she stop them?
A girl from ss S walked up and exined, ¡°Sister Qiqing, we were helping Mu Xiaoxiao and Sister Su Lin take revenge by punishing this vicious woman.¡±
¡°I¡¯m going to take her away now,¡± Han Qiqing said with no offer of exnation. She gestured to the girls she hade with to pull An Zhixin up and take her away.
The crowd was puzzled.
Why was Han Qiqing helping An Zhixin?
Chapter 749 - Xiaoxiao is Sick
Chapter 749: Xiaoxiao is Sick

At the Student Union building.
Han Qiqing brought An Zhixin into the President¡¯s Office and sent the others out.
Then, Yin Shaojie emerged from the adjacent lounge and closed the door slowly. He looked at the unkempt An Zhixin.
An Zhixin felt distressed and bunched up her clothes helplessly.
She started to panic.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze made her feel as though she had been exposed and she felt terrified. Did he know that she was involved in the incident?
After bringing An Zhixin in, Han Qiqing threw her aside and asked Yin Shaojie worriedly, ¡°How¡¯s Xiaoxiao?¡±
¡°She¡¯s eaten her cold medicine and is resting inside now.¡±
Yin Shaojie felt a little helpless. He had already discovered that Xiaoxiao had fallen sick in the morning, and advised her to stay at home and not attend school. However, she didn¡¯t want to listen to him. Unexpectedly, she had started toin about a headache once she arrived in school and she was so ufortable that he brought her over to the Student Union first for medicine and rest to see if she would get better.
Actually, he would be worried if he had left her alone in the condominium. It was better for her to be right by her side.
Han Qiqing asked, ¡°How did she catch a cold out of nowhere? She seemed fine at the campsitest night. Was it because she got a fright? Should we bring her to the hospital for a checkup?¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s just an ordinary cold,¡± Yin Shaojie said mildly. He guessed that Xiaoxiao had caught her cold from being in the bath too long.
Upon hearing how sure he was, Han Qiqing rxed a little. She red at An Zhixin and said, ¡°I¡¯ve brought the person. What are you going to do with her?¡±
An Zhixin trembled a little as she heard herself mentioned and she looked at Yin Shaojie timidly.
Just then, the door to the office was pushed open.
¡°Found it.¡± Song Shijun entered hurriedly, a pile of papers clutched in his hand as he walked to Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie walked over to the sofa. His entire aura felt powerful, as though he were a king.
An Zhixin only felt her panic rise. She had a feeling that she was about to be put on trial.
Yin Shaojie looked through the stack of papers and threw them onto the coffee table. With a fierce gaze, he looked at An Zhixin and said, ¡°This is your recent call log. The person you¡¯ve been contacting the most since the day you arrived at Shangde was also the person you contacted yesterday at 1:43 p.m, a few minutes before the bamboo pavilion copsed. After that, you went to look for Xiaoxiao and brought her to the bamboo pavilion to talk.¡±
He said this with a narrative air and not a questioning one.
An Zhixin felt her hands and feet turn cold. She was so anxious that she was about to die, and she didn¡¯t even know how she was going to defend herself.
This was because she felt as though she had been stripped naked and presented in front of him as though all her secrets were known to him.
Yin Shaojie scary cold gaze was fixated on her as his sexy lips curled up in a light smirk. He asked, ¡°Who is that person?¡±
Who is the person who bribed you to hurt Mu Xiaoxiao?
An Zhixin seemed to hear his gaze ask.
Her whole body was trembling like a sieve, and the corners of her lips were white. ¡°I-I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about¡ That number is my friend¡¯s.¡±
A silhouette shed in front of her and gave her a resounding p.
An Zhixin¡¯s face was pushed to one side by the force of the impact.
Han Qiqing had no restrain as she grabbed onto her clothes and said ferociously, ¡°You¡¯re about to die and you still won¡¯t admit it? I should have let those girls kill you and saved my energy! Are you going to spill it? Who is the person who bribed you! Spit it out!¡±

The more she said, the angrier she became. Han Qiqing shook her so forcefully in rage as though she was trying to pop off An Zhixin¡¯s head.
¡°I¡ I¡¡± An Zhixin¡¯s face turned pale. She was in a fluster as if she had lost her direction.
Song Shijun pulled Han Qiqing aside and said softly, ¡°Alright, be gentler to girls.¡±
Han Qiqing red fiercely at him.
Song Shijun chuckled lightly and walked over to An Zhixin. He said in a gentle tone, ¡°An Zhixin, I don¡¯t think you are stupid. But if you at least have some sense in you, you will understand how the current situation is for you. Do you think that the person behind the scene can still protect you? Oh, or should I say, will he even choose to protect you?¡±
An Zhixin¡¯s pupils magnified as she stared at him.
¡°Do you understand? You are already the other party¡¯s sacrificial piece, of no more value. Do you think we won¡¯t be able to find anything if you just keep quiet? It¡¯s only a matter of time. You are the only one who can save yourself now. As for whether you will want to take this chance, that all depends on you, got it?¡±
Being born into a political family, Song Shijun was well-versed inmunication skills.
His words stirred An Zhixin greatly.
An Zhixin¡¯s eyes looked defeated as she suddenly fell sitting on the ground.
¡°I¡¯ll talk¡ What do you want to know? I¡¯ll tell you everything! I only ask for one thing¡¡±
Song Shijun gave her a look of approval, ¡°Good girl!¡±
Han Qiqing curled her lips derisively. ¡°You¡¯re still demanding things?¡±
An Zhixin looked to Yin Shaojie, her lips trembling.
Sitting on the sofa, he was cool and proud, so aloof and out of reach.
In this moment, she was deeply aware of how far she was from him. It was a distance she would never be able to cross.
She finally knew how ridiculous her delusions were.
She wanted to be with someone like Yin Shaojie? It wouldn¡¯t even be possible to dream of it!
But she still didn¡¯t give up. She braced herself and said, ¡°Y-Young Master Jie, I only have one request. That is, I want to stay in Shangde, even if I am to be in ss F!¡±
Yin Shaojie stared at her in a cold gaze and said simply. ¡°Impossible.¡±
Since Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t like having An Zhixin in Shangde, he wouldn¡¯t provide her any possibility of staying.
Han Qiqing scoffed, ¡°Humph! You still want to stay in Shangde? Why don¡¯t you go look at yourself in the mirror? Are you even worthy? Don¡¯t think that you are somebody after acting like a rich missy for a few days. I¡¯m telling you, even if you¡¯re really a rich missy, you won¡¯t even be qualified to carry Xiaoxiao¡¯s shoes!¡±
A jolt shot through An Zhixin¡¯s chest and her face turned ashen.
The scene of the first day of the autumn outing flitted into her mind. When Mu Xiaoxiao and Su Lin confronted each other, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t appear any weaker than Su Lin. In fact, she seemed even stronger than Su Lin.
And now, after hearing what Han Qiqing just said¡
Even if An Zhixin was stupid, she knew that Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t just an ordinary person.
Right, how could she have thought that Mu Xiaoxiao was only an ordinary person?
Yin Shaojie liked Mu Xiaoxiao so much that he would be docile toward her, and they even lived together.
Even Han Qiqing and Ye Sijue, from the Big Four Families, were friends who had been close with Mu Xiaoxiao for many years. And Song Shijun, who was the son of the mayor, was even being ordered around by Mu Xiaoxiao..
Then¡ who exactly was Mu Xiaoxiao, to be able to have all of these things?
An Zhixin suddenly couldn¡¯t bear to continue thinking about it, and her heart felt chilly.

After living in confusion for so long, she finally woke up.
In this moment, even An Zhixin found herself veryughable. How ridiculous. How did a single obsession of hers bring herself to such a state?
Yin Shaojie said coldly, ¡°I will help you transfer back to Second High. You can go back to your previous life.¡±
An Zhixin looked like she had lost all her energy, paralyzed down from her shoulders.
Her eyes stared forward vacantly. She knew that she had no choice but to ept it. Otherwise she wouldn¡¯t even have the chance to continue studying.
Thus, she narrated to them in full detail everything that had happened.
After sending An Zhixin out.
Han Qiqing said uprehendingly, ¡°Are we just letting her go like this? Even if she isn¡¯t the mastermind, she is still the aplice. If it had been any more unfortunate, Xiaoxiao could have been killed! How can she be let go so easily!¡±
Song Shijun smiled, but his eyes were cruel as he said. ¡°Do you think she will have a good life back in Second High? For someone like her, putting her through life¡¯s sufferings is the greatest punishment for her.¡±
It was easy to ruin her, but what would be more terrifying was to let her be slowly tortured by her current life.
After hearing what Song Shijun said, Han Qiqing understood the intention behind it. Considering what An Zhixin would have to face upon returning to Second High, she suddenly felt that this punishment was the most terrifying.
Looking to Yin Shaojie, who was deep in thought, Han Qiqing asked, ¡°Yin Shaojie, will the information that An Zhixin provided be useful? Can you find the person behind all of this? I have the feeling that this person is very cunning and will not be easy to deal with. ¡±
Song Shijun nced at her. ¡°You don¡¯t say. For this person to think of using An Zhixin shows that this person knows about what happened between Shaojie and An Zhixin. From this point, it can be seen that the person has been watching Shaojie for a long time already.¡±
Suddenly being reminded of something, he turned to Yin Shaojie and said. ¡°Shaojie, do you remember? Could the person who ordered photos secretly taken of you and Xiaoxiao during the incident involving Han Xue¡¯er, and the person who used Yu Zhe, be the same person who used An Zhixin?¡±
It was really scary now that he said it!
It meant that the person behind the scenes had been plotting from very early on.
Yin Shaojie eyes were as sharp as a knife¡¯s edge as he said tepidly, ¡°I know.¡±
Han Qiqing had not thought so deeply of the matter. Upon hearing that, she eximed, ¡°This matter is thisplicated? This is too scary!¡±
Song Shijun knitted his brows tightly, rubbing his chin as he pondered before saying, ¡°This person¡ after having done so many things hasn¡¯t shown himself yet. And he didn¡¯t even leave any evidence. Finding him won¡¯t be an easy task.¡±
Han Qiqing was worried. ¡°What should we do then? Doesn¡¯t this mean that Xiaoxiao may still be in danger?¡±
¡°Who knows what this behind-the-scenes boss would do if we don¡¯t catch him?¡± Song Shijun¡¯s expression was also quite grave.
But what was most frustrating was that even if An Zhixin had spilled the beans, ording to the information she had given, they still might not be able to find out the identity of the person behind the scenes.
Since the mastermind dared to openly let An Zhixin stay in the vi, it meant that they wouldn¡¯t be able to find any information from the vi.
The chauffeur could have been just a random hire and the car might also have been a rental.
Having made so many traps, the person was apparently very meticulous. It was impossible that he would leave behind clues that could be easily found.
Han Qiqing grew anxious upon hearing that. After all that they had done, they still couldn¡¯t find out who the person was? Not even a single suspect?

¡°What should we do then! Yin Shaojie, aren¡¯t you very good at this? Don¡¯t you have a clue yet?¡±
Han Qiqing was so flustered that she felt like pouring scorn on them.
But then Yin Shaojie replied, ¡°Yes.¡±
Han Qiqing and Song Shijun looked to Yin Shaojie at the same time, astonished.
¡°Yes? You said you have a clue?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes were bright as he nodded as though he was in deep contemtion, his eyes hard to read from.
¡°I have had someone in my mind for quite a while already, but I didn¡¯t have the evidence.¡±
Han Qiqing asked in surprise. ¡°Someone in mind? Who? Just who exactly is it! Tell us!¡±
It would be good even if it was only a suspect!
She was confounded, with no clue of who might have the motive tomit these crimes.
This time, Han Qiqing finally admitted that her brain wasn¡¯t very useful, unlike Yin Shaojie and Song Shijun who seemed to always be able to think deeper into the problem.
This time, even Song Shijun was a little surprised and asked, ¡°Who do you suspect?¡±
¡°This matter¡¡±
Ka cha! The door opened behind them.
The three instinctively turned to look at the same time and saw Mu Xiaoxiaoing from the lounge.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s lips were a bit pale and the eyes that had always been radiant were looking quite lifeless. She wasn¡¯t looking very well.
She asked, ¡°What are you guys talking about?¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned as he got up from the sofa. He walked over to her quickly and wrapped his arms around her shoulders, letting her lean onto him.
¡°Why did youe out? Why don¡¯t you sleep a while more?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°I can¡¯t sleep.¡±
Song Shijunined to Han Qiqing, ¡°It¡¯s all your fault. Why were you talking so loudly? You even woke up Xiaoxiao!¡±
Han Qiqing looked innocent, originally intending to shoot back at him, but then again, she was indeed the one who had been speaking the loudest. Though Yin Shaojie had been calm, every word he said seemed to burn, and though Song Shijun was speaking gently, he was pressuring with every sentence he spoke.
She was the only one who seemed to be using the threatening method.
Why did it seem like there was such a huge gap between them?
Han Qiqing said apologetically to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Xiaoxiao. I woke you up. Are you feeling better now? Are you still feeling unwell?¡±
Although Mu Xiaoxiao smiled she still seemed to be low energy. Her brows were still knitted together.
She held her forehead and said, ¡°My head feels heavy and dizzy. It¡¯s quite ufortable, but I can¡¯t sleep. Oh yeah, did I just hear An Zhixin¡¯s voice? What¡¯s the matter?¡±
¡°That is¡¡± Han Qiqing was going to say something, but Yin Shaojie shot a nce at her and she shut up.
Yin Shaojie took Mu Xiaoxiao to sit on the sofa.
He gave her a cup of hot water and let her have a few sips.
Then he said, ¡°We only brought her here to ask some questions. She told us everything. Someone was indeed bribing her. I will investigate this matter. You don¡¯t have to worry. Rest first. When you have recovered I¡¯ll tell you in detail.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her head assuredly and leaned her head against his shoulder.
The smell of his manly scent was very pleasant, and it seemed to soothe her difort.
Yin Shaojie reached out and touched her forehead, and his brow wrinkled. ¡°You seem to be burning a little.¡±
Although he knew she only had a cold, it would indeed be quite dreadful if it became serious.
Seeing her be like a deted balloon instead of the usual ball of energy that she was made his heart ache.

Mu Xiaoxiao snuggled into his chest as though she wanted to worm her way into his chest.
Yin Shaojie noticed that her lips were dry. She had just had water, and they had dried up so quickly. He took up the ss again and motioned for her to drink up once more.
Han Qiqing had been sick before as well and she knew how ufortable it was. She said to Yin Shaojie hurriedly, ¡°You should bring her to the hospital. She should get better soon once she¡¯s ced on a drip.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to be ced on a drip¡¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at them and replied, ¡°We¡¯re not going to the hospital. I¡¯ll bring her home and have the family doctor see her.¡±
No one liked the smell of the hospital. Also, for a minor sickness such as a cold, there was no difference in having a family doctore over to examine her.
¡°Hurry and bring her back then.¡±
Yin Shaojie turned his head to the side and looked at Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°Can you still walk?¡± he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t feel like walking. Can you carry me?¡±
Yin Shaojie would not reject her, of course. Even if she wanted him to pluck a star out of the sky for her, he would try his very best to do it.
Thus, he got up and squatted in front of her, letting her lean herself onto his back.
After carrying her up, he gestured to Han Qiqing and Song Shijun before walking out of the office.
Han Qiqing looked at their silhouette and couldn¡¯t help but sigh with emotion. ¡°I want a boyfriend who treats me so well too.¡±
She was sometimes really envious of Mu Xiaoxiao who had such a beautiful and sweet romance.
Even though she felt that Yin Shaojie was sometimes a little too bossy, he still had his merits. To Mu Xiaoxiao, Yin Shaojie was totally devoted to her.
What was the most blessed thing in the world?
Experiencing reciprocated true love was a rare thing indeed.
Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t help but to think of Lu Yichen as she thought about this.
She had gone for the autumn outing and had been busy with this and that for the past few days and had gone by without seeing him. She missed him!
Han Qiqing was a person of action. Since she missed him, it was imperative for her to go and look for him. Even if she could only speak two sentences with him, it would solve the suffering of her lovesickness.
Song Shijun heard what she said and teased, ¡°You should train up your eyesight. Not only are you chasing after someone who doesn¡¯t like you, you¡¯re also thinking of¡¡±
Han Qiqing walked out and waved goodbye to him before he could finish his sentence. ¡°I¡¯m going off now. Remember to lock the door. Bye!¡±
She then disappeared like smoke.
Song Shijun shook his head helplessly. ¡°You¡¯ll regret it if you don¡¯t listen to me.¡±
¡
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t bring Mu Xiaoxiao back to the condominium, but to the Yin residence.
He would feel worried if he left her alone in the condominium.
Even though he wanted to stay by her side and take care of her, he had to take care of some matters, so the best course of action was to send her back to the Yin residence. There were people there to take care of her, which was more reassuring.
He arrived at the Yin residence. Papa Yin was at thepany while Mama Yin was at home. Upon hearing that Xiaoxiao was sick, her heart ached for her.
Mama Yin said to the butler hastily, ¡°Hurry and get the doctor here!¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need to. I¡¯ve already called the doctor on the way here. He¡¯ll be here soon,¡± Yin Shaojie said as he carried Xiaoxiao upstairs. Entering their room, he ced her on the bed.
Mu Xiaoxiaoy on the mattress. Surrounded by familiar smells, a wave of sleepiness overcame her.
Mama Yin asked, ¡°Have you eaten breakfast? Should we make something for Xiaoxiao to eat? Aiyoh, why is she sick? And you, how could you not have taken care of Xiaoxiao properly?¡±
Chapter 754 - The Person You Like is Me
Chapter 754: The Person You Like is Me
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Yin Shaojie was already used to his mom being biased towards Xiaoxiao. It had been the case ever since he was little. Whenever something happened to Xiaoxiao, he would be the one held ountable for it.
However, he was also very d to see Xiaoxiao being pampered by the elders.
¡°We¡¯ve eaten breakfast,¡± he replied.
Mama Yin said, ¡°How can the food you ordered from outside be better than food cooked at home? I¡¯ll get someone to boil some soup for Xiaoxiao to drink. I¡¯ve already told you to move back home to live where people can look after you so that you don¡¯t have to eat out everyday. That¡¯s too unhealthy.¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry, but now wasn¡¯t a good time to rebut his mother either.
Luckily, the doctor arrived very soon. After examining Mu Xiaoxiao, he said that it was a severe cold, and it was better for her to be ced on an intravenous drip.
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and wanted to protest, she had topromise as Mama Yin was there to persuade her.
After being ced on the drip, the rest of the people went out.
Yin Shaojie sat by the bed, helping her wipe the cold sweat that beaded her forehead.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him and said, ¡°Jie, you should visit Su Lin at the hospital in the afternoon. I don¡¯t think I can go.¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s hand paused. His dark eyes looked at her as he said, ¡°You want me to visit her?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and sighed. ¡°Her mom and dad aren¡¯t in the country, and she¡¯s alone in the hospital with no one to apany her so she should be very lonely. Also, we¡¯ve agreed to visit herst night, and we can¡¯t break that promise, can we?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze was deep and indescribable.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at his expression. Even though she couldn¡¯t really tell how his face looked like from her lying down at this angle, she could feel that he was unwilling to do it.
She used her other hand to tug at his sleeve and said, ¡°Alright, just take it that you¡¯re representing me and go visit her.¡±
¡°You¡¯re really¡¡± Yin Shaojie felt a little helpless. ¡°Do you really trust me to visit her?¡±
¡°Why should I not trust you?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled. ¡°The person you like is me.¡±
If he liked Su Lin, they would have gotten together in the four years that she wasn¡¯t there.
Thus, she was naturally not worried about this.
Yin Shaojie pinched her little nose with his fingers and said displeasedly, ¡°You really trust me, don¡¯t you?
¡°It¡¯s just visiting a patient, and it¡¯s not like you¡¯re doing anything for her. It¡¯s just staying there for a while.¡±
She would of course be unhappy if he stayed there for a long time, however.
In the end, Yin Shaojie could do nothing but agree.
He stayed by her side and waited for her to fall asleep before he left the Yin residence.
After an indeterminate amount of time.
After Mu Xiaoxiao woke up and opened her eyes slowly, she felt a wave of feebleness, but she didn¡¯t feel as ufortable as before.
A helper realized that she was awake and called Mrs. Yin over. Mrs. Yin even fed her some soup personally.
After she was full, Mrs. Yin went out and let her sleep again.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t fall back asleep. Now that her energy was back, she didn¡¯t feel like sleeping anymore.
She reached out and picked up her phone, wanting to tell Yin Shaojie that she was feeling better before surfing Weibo or something.
However, she saw a new friend request once she entered WeChat.
It was Su Lin.
Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated for two seconds before she epted it.
Su Lin must have been so bored at the hospital that she thought of adding her as a friend.
She looked at the time. It was already afternoon, and she wondered if Yin Shaojie had already been to the hospital to see her.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought this as she clicked onto Su Lin¡¯s ¡°Moments¡±.
Upon seeing hertest status, she was stunned.
¡ª¡ª Should I not have called you? I know that you have her by your side, but I still can¡¯t control myself. I miss you so much.
Could this be referring to¡ Yin Shaojie?
Chapter 755 - Yin Shaojie, You Liar! (1)
Chapter 755: Yin Shaojie, You Liar! (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao looked that the time the ¡°Moments¡± was posted. It wasst night.
Then, she couldn¡¯t help but to recall, didn¡¯t Yin Shaojie answer a call when she was eating BBQ wings?
Could that phone call have been from Su Lin?
And why did Yin Shaojie not tell her about this?
When Mu Xiaoxiao came back to her senses, she realized that her thoughts were running wild again. She shook her head hurriedly and tried to banish those negative thoughts.
He must have a reason for not telling her about it.
It was like when she went to look for Lu Yichen. Didn¡¯t she also not tell him about it? It wasn¡¯t that she had something going on between Lu Yichen and her, but that she felt like there was no need for her to tell him about it as it would only worry him.
Yeah, that must be it!
Even though logic told her not to continue reading, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t control herself and scrolled down, reading every one of Su Lin¡¯s ¡°Moments¡±.
They were practically¡ all about feelings.
Even though she hadn¡¯t revealed the name of the person, it was undeniably Yin Shaojie when she made theparison.
It was because there was a status where Su Lin sounded sorrowful as she wanted Yin Shaojie to receive her at the airport when she returned to China, but he didn¡¯t do so.
If the person who she was talking about wasn¡¯t Yin Shaojie, Mu Xiaoxiao would probably sympathize with her.
However, Yin Shaojie was hers!
How could she let another person pine for her boyfriend!
Mu Xiaoxiao was extremely angry. She wondered if Su Lin had added her on purpose so that she would see all these.
She had already not liked Su Lin from the start, but had changed her opinion a little because she saved her this time.
However, the usually innocent Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help bute up with some conspiracy theories upon seeing all these.
The more she wanted herself not to look, the more she had to look.
She wanted to see how Su Lin had badgered Yin Shaojie before if she had done so.
Her finger scrolled down the page and stopped suddenly.
This ¡°Moments¡± had been written half a month ago. Su Lin was at an amusement park overseas.
¡ª¡ª I¡¯m thinking of you again. I remember the amusement park that we went to. Even though it¡¯s not as big and pretty as this one, it will still be my favorite amusement park forever because you were by my side.
What made Mu Xiaoxiao pause was not the words written by Su Lin, but¡ the photo that she had posted along with the words.
Su Lin and Yin Shaojie were in the photo together.
Su Lin was hugging Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm. The pair were leaning into each other, looking very intimate. She was smiling very happily with the sweetness of a little woman.
Behind them was a gigantic ferris wheel.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that it looked familiar. Wasn¡¯t this the amusement park that Yin Shaojie had brought her to previously?
She suddenly felt panic.
He had lied to her?
On the day that he had brought her to the amusement park to y, he had told her that he had never bought any other girl there before!
No¡
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed bitterly.
She remembered now. Yin Shaojie had not given her a proper answer on that day. She had asked him if he had brought any other girl there, and his reply was, ¡°What do you think?¡±. He was so crafty to use such an easy reply which avoided her question cleverly to avoid a big issue.
She med herself for not thinking deeper into it and believing that he wouldn¡¯t lie to her, and that his answer must have meant that he had never brought any other girl there.
It was because of that that she was so angry right now, right?
Not only had he lied to her, he had also breached her trust in him.
Did he think that she was a petty person?
Even if he had admitted to it, she would only be jealous for a little while at most, and should let it go really quickly.
However, was he trying to avoid making her angry by lying to her?
Chapter 756 - Yin Shaojie, You Liar! (2)
Chapter 756: Yin Shaojie, You Liar! (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Even if he had good intentions, she would only feel upset when she found out the truth!
It was especially so because¡ he had gone there with Su Lin before!
The more Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the intimate photograph, the more offended she got. She wished for it to be destroyed but it was part of someone else¡¯s ¡°Moments¡± and she had no way to delete it.
Her heart felt more and more stifled and ufortable and her eyes teared up.
Not wanting to look at it anymore, Mu Xiaoxiao exited WeChat hurriedly and threw her phone aside.
She pulled up the nket and covered her head with it.
¡
Yin Shaojie only went to visit Su Lin in the afternoon, together with Han Qiqing and Song Shijun. The purpose of their presence was so that someone would avoid behaving weirdly.
As expected, Su Lin didn¡¯t dare to be too unrestrained with others around. She behaved naturally, unlike the way she had talked to Yin Shaojie over the phone.
She looked at Yin Shaojie with a bitter gaze asionally, but he turned a blind eye to them.
¡°Su Lin, rest well. We¡¯ll stop disturbing you now. See you next time.¡±
This was spoken by Han Qiqing.
They had stayed for about 20 minutes, and the three of them were about to leave.
Su Lin wanted to talk to Yin Shaojie, but Han Qiqing, either deliberately or identally, kept blocking her view of him and even rushed to say the necessary parting words.
Upon receiving a resentful nce back, Han Qiqing smiled to herself while maintaining a caring expression on her face.
¡°Alright Su Lin, you don¡¯t have to send us off. Remember to sleep early tonight; the most important thing now is to heal your body.¡±
A foxy smile tugged at Su Lin¡¯s lips as she said, ¡°Okay then, but can you visit daily to talk to me? I¡¯m so bored being alone at the hospital.¡±
¡°This¡¡± Han Qiqing wanted to make up an excuse.
Su Lin said hurriedly, ¡°I know I¡¯m being troublesome. You don¡¯t have toe all together. You cane separately. Shaojie, is that okay?¡±
It was obvious that she was directing her words to Yin Shaojie, hoping that he would visit her at the hospital everyday.
Han Qiqing looked at Yin Shaojie a little worriedly, afraid that he would just agree to her request.
After all, they were friends with Su Lin, and Su Lin was only injured this time because she helped Xiaoxiao. ording to sense and sensibility, they shouldn¡¯t abandon her in the hospital to be bored and lonely.
She hurriedly made eyes at Song Shijun, wanting him to help here up with an excuse.
Just then, Yin Shaojie spoke.
¡°I can¡¯t visit these few days, Xiaoxiao is sick and I need to take care of her, so let Shijune and visit you in the next few days.¡±
Song Shijun, whose name had been offered, looked stunned. Why was all the responsibility being pushed onto him?
Han Qiqing rxed once she heard this. She elbowed Song Shijun and echoed, ¡°Shijun¡¯s very free, he¡¯s really very free! He doesn¡¯t need to manage any of the Student Union affairs, unlike me. I¡¯m busy with many things recently, and I still have to visit Xiaoxiao when I¡¯m free, so let Shijun apany you. This guy¡¯s the best at making girlsugh and he¡¯s got so many jokes that they can entertain you for months.¡±
Song Shijun knew that he had been sacrificed. He had no choice but tough dryly and nod, ¡°No problem. I¡¯lle over to visit you everyday after school.¡±
Su Lin didn¡¯t look too happy, but she still tucked away her disappointment and smiled. ¡°Sure.¡±
After, the three of them walked out of the ward.
In the hallway, Han Qiqing looped an arm around Song Shijun andughed uncontrobly while patting his back. ¡°Shijun, thanks for your hard work. We will remember your sacrifice for righteousness!¡±
Chapter 757 - Yin Shaojie, You Liar! (3)

Song Shijun¡¯s expression soured and he pushed her hand away. ring at her, he said, ¡°You¡¯reughing? You¡¯re stillughing? Is there anyone who treats their friends like this? There¡¯s only Xiaoxiao and no me in your heart, right? I knew it, I knew it!¡±
He sounded so injured!
Han Qiqing hurriedly hugged his arm andforted him. ¡°Aiyoh, since when am I like that? You do have a ce in my heart! There¡¯s no other person but you for this job. If I do it, I¡¯ll go against her everyday, and she won¡¯t have the chance to get better soon.¡±
¡°Treat me to foodter then.¡± Song Shijun saw an opportunity to fleece her.
¡°No problem!¡± Han Qiqing patted her chest and agreed readily.
¡°I want to eat at Imperial Cuisine Restaurant.¡±
Han Qiqing was speechless.
She loosened her grip immediately.
Imperial Cuisine Restaurant was very expensive, okay!
Song Shijun pointed at her nose and said, ¡°You promised. Don¡¯t you dare go back on your word, ahem, ahem.¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s lips curled downwards. ¡°But I¡¯m poor¡¡±
¡°Are you taking me for a naive three-year-old?¡± Comining about poverty as a rich missy of one of the Big Four Families? No one would believe her if she said that!
¡°Isn¡¯t it all my brother¡¯s fault for docking my allowance¡ Boohoo!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t care.¡±
The three of them walked out of the hospital while talking andughing.
In the ward building, a lone figure stood by the window and watched them leave in a car. He then turned around and looked at Su Lin on the bed with a smile that belied his emotions.
¡°Linlin, is it worth it to sacrifice so much just for these people?¡±
Su Lin was sitting up and leaning on the headboard of the bed. She looked at him with his arms crossed and lifting her chin proudly, said firmly, ¡°Of course it¡¯s worth it. I love you.¡±
Feng Shengyang narrowed his eyes. Walking over to her bed, he sat down and pinched her chin. ¡°Baby, why must you say such things to hurt my heart?¡±
Su Lin¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change at all as she pped his hand away and said, ¡°Shengyang, I¡¯ve said this multiple times. I don¡¯t love you, I only love him.¡±
Feng Shengyang¡¯s lips turned down lightly and he said a little displeasedly, ¡°I don¡¯t understand what Yin Shaojie has that¡¯s making you so infatuated. Is it just because he¡¯s part of the Big Four Families?¡±
¡°It¡¯s because you don¡¯t understand love,¡± Su Lin said while looking into his eyes.
Feng Shengyangughed sexily as his pair of mesmerizing almond eyes locked onto her own. He said lovingly, ¡°You¡¯re obviously aware that I love you, and you still dare to say that I don¡¯t understand love?¡±
It had to be said that Feng Shengyang¡¯s current romantic and elegant demeanor was very handsome, and it could win the hearts of countless girls.
However, there was ultimately only one person in Su Lin¡¯s heart, so no matter how much charm he had, she seemed not to be able to notice. She grinned and said, ¡°But I can¡¯t feel how much you love me.¡±
¡°Oh? How do you want to feel then?¡± Feng Shengyang said as he leaned his handsome face closer, and a suggestive aura enveloped her face.
Su Lin¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t help but skip a beat at the closeness of a face that could mesmerize all living creatures.
Feng Shengyang was the hottest superstar for the past two years. He had fans not only in China, but also internationally, and there were tens of millions of them.
Additionally, he was the Fengs sessor. His identity as an idol was something that he was just toying with at the moment.
Feng Shengyang looked romantic, but he looked at her with a devoted gaze.
Su Lin was enjoying this, enjoying how much he liked her, no matter how many times she had told him that she wouldn¡¯t like him back and would never be in a rtionship with him.

How could any girl not enjoy having a handsome guy admiring her and treating her well in every possible way?
Especially when it was this handsome guy in particr who attracted the wild admiration of countless girls.
Su Lin lifted her hand, her movement charming as she ced her hand on his chest, tempting him as she drew circles on it. Her voice softened as she said, ¡°Sheng Yang, are you really willing to do anything for me, even if it is something bad?¡±
¡°Of course.¡± Feng Shengyang smiled softly. Then he held up her hand gracefully and kissed it.
Enjoying the vanity of the moment, Su Lin felt like a princess.
If she hadn¡¯t fallen in love with Yin Shaojie from early on and obsessively refuse to let him go, she might have fallen in love with Feng Shengyang instead.
Because Feng Shengyang was really a great lover.
Feng Shengyang looked into her eyes and asked, ¡°What do you want me to do for you then? Oh, let me guess. I can always guess what you are thinking, can¡¯t I?¡±
Su Lin smiled happily. ¡°Alright, guess then.¡±
How satisfying it felt to have someone who could read her.
The corner of Feng Shengyang¡¯s lips turned up in a smile as he pretended to be thinking for a while. Then he reached out and tapped her on her lips, saying, ¡°Do you want me to chase that Mu Xiaoxiao? Even if I can¡¯t obtain her, messing up those two¡¯s rtionship is not bad too, right?¡±
Su Lin¡¯s eyes started. She didn¡¯t expect him to actually guess right what she wanted to say.
Her heart rippled with an indescribable joy.
¡°So, are you willing?¡± she asked, her eyes shaking slightly in a pitiful manner as she stared at him.
Feng Shengyang¡¯s finger left her lips and tapped on his lips in an affectionate and suggestive manner, as though he was recalling fondly her vor.
Su Lin was quite disoriented by his behavior, her heart skipping a beat.
If she didn¡¯t know from early on that he was such a loose flirt, he would have already won her heart.
It was no wonder that the girls around him were crazy enough to give him everything.
Except for her.
Perhaps this was the reason why he was so persistent with her? Because he couldn¡¯t obtain her, he was even more resolved to get her?
Feng Shengyang smiled faintly, his eyes looking as though he hadints about her.
¡°You are so bad, but I still like it. I told you. I¡¯m willing to do anything for you, even if it is this. Even if it will make me sad, I will still do it for you. Are you contented?¡±
¡°Really?¡± Su Lin stared at him with widened eyes.
This man was truly too slick in his flirting that it was hard to guard against it.
¡°Really.¡± Feng Shengyang¡¯s long arm propped himself up as his handsome face went up close to hers. ¡°If I do that how are you going to reward me?¡±
Not withholding herself, Su Lin hooked her arms around his neck, full of smiles as she said, ¡°What reward do you want then?¡±
Feng Shengyang seemed to be gazing at her lips.
His voice was gentle like water as he said, ¡°Whatever you want. I will ept whatever you give me.¡±
Su Lin stroked the curves of his handsome face with her fingers. ¡°Then¡ I will think about it and give you a satisfying reward.¡±
¡°Okay then.¡±
Feng Shengyang smiled as he went back to his seat. Then he picked up the orange next to him, peeled it for her, and brought the peeled orange to her mouth.
Su Lin ate the orange from his hand and curiously asked, ¡°So what method are you going to use to get close to her?¡±

Chapter 759: Yin Shaojie, You Liar! (5)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
After all, Mu Xiaoxiao has Yin Shaojie, that extremely jealousy-prone guy beside her, so getting close to her would not be an easy task.
Feng Shengyang put a piece of orange in his mouth, his eyes narrowed, and his voice said in a beguiling tone.
¡°The legendary Mu family, huh¡ Interesting.¡±
¡
At the Yin residence.
The afterglow of sunset was still lingering over the sky. Yin Shaojie rushed back to the house, and when he entered the door, he hurriedly greeted his mother before rushing to the room.
Mama Yinughed as she watched from behind him, ¡°This kid is forgetting his mother now that he has a wife.¡±
Then she turned around and told the helper to prepare to serve the meals.
Uponing to the door, Yin Shaojie¡¯s footsteps slowed down and he opened the door lightly.
The lights in the room were off, and it was dark.
Just when he was thinking if he should turn on the lights without waking her up, he heard Xiaoxiao¡¯s voice saying, ¡°You¡¯re back?¡±
¡°Yeah. Do you feel better?¡± Yin Shaojie nodded as he walked to the bed in a few long strides.
Then, he turned on the bedsidemp and adjusted it to the lowest brightness, so as not to make her feel the re.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to get up from the bed, her head turned to the side as she looked at him with some annoyance.
Sitting at the edge of the bed, Yin Shaojie reached out and touched her forehead to check her temperature.
It seemed that it was no longer hot.
He then felt a huge relief.
¡°Have you been lying like this the whole day? Did you get up at noon for lunch? Are you hungry now?¡± he asked a few questions consecutively with an affectionate gaze.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat herself up. Yin Shaojie erected the pillow so she could lean against it.
¡°Have you seen Su Lin?¡± she asked, her expression wasplex.
Yin Shaojie smiled, squeezed her nose, and heughed, ¡°What? You¡¯re only getting jealous now?¡±
¡°I thought¡ you might have something to tell me.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stared at his eyes to observe his expression.
If at this moment, he showed even a tinge of guilt¡
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart grew heavy. There was a conflicting tug-of-war in her mind.
Should she ask him directly to rify the matter or should she wait for him to tell her honestly about it?
Although she was quite impatient, she wanted to sort things out immediately whenever things came along¡
¡ if he would only be forting about things after she questioned him every time, what would be the point of that?
If he couldn¡¯t take the initiative to be forting with her, how could this rtionshipst?
After some thought, she decided to endure it for a while and wait to see how he would act.
If it was not satisfactory¡
Mu Xiaoxiao snorted inwardly.
Yin Shaojie thought she was talking about the matter of visiting Su Lin, so he exined to her, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I didn¡¯t go to the hospital alone. Shijun and Qiqing were there too. And we have agreed that I have to take care of you for these few days, so I won¡¯t be going to visit. Shijun will be responsible for representing us, going to the hospital every day to visit Su Lin and relieve her boredom.¡±
His expression seemed to be saying: ¡°Are you satisfied now? Don¡¯t be jealous.¡±
How could Mu Xiaoxiao be satisfied? She only thought he was trying to avoid talking about the matter she was actually concerned about!
She probed, ¡°Then?¡±
¡°Then? Then we all went home separately. I rushed back to see you.¡± Yin Shaojie held up her hand and kissed it. ¡°You seem to be looking much better now. That¡¯s a load off my mind.¡±
¡°You really¡¡± You have nothing else to say to me?
Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to give him another chance, but then, the helper knocked on the door and said from outside, ¡°Young master, Miss, Madam asked if you would like the meal to be served now?¡±
Chapter 760 - Yin Shaojie, You Liar! (6)
Chapter 760: Yin Shaojie, You Liar! (6)

Yin Shaojie turned to her and said, ¡°Okay, serve the meal then.¡±
They would usually have meals after school ended. So he thought that Xiaoxiao would be hungry at this timing which waster than usual.
Mu Xiaoxiao clicked her tongue directed at the back of his skull, sulking.
Yin Shaojie, you liar!
Bastard!
You lied to me, yet you still won¡¯t be honest with me. I gave you a chance, yet you didn¡¯t take it. Or were you just deliberately pretending not to understand what I was hinting at?
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that with his usual sharp discernment, he should be able to read the nuances in her expression.
Why couldn¡¯t he pick up on the frustration in her eyes today?
The more she thought, the more gloomy she became. And Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but reach out her hand to p him on the head.
Yin Shaojie looked back at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao said in a huff, ¡°Hurry up and help me up!¡±
¡°Yes, my dear wife!¡± Yin Shaojieughed. He lookedpletely helpless and yet pampering toward her.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart softened again. The deep affection for her in his eyes didn¡¯t seem contrived.
At least she could be a hundred percent certain that Yin Shaojie loved her.
Although he lied to her and kept many things from her¡
¡ there was no doubt about how much he loved and pampered her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was regretting losing her temper just now. Whenever she faced him, she would seem to be easily agitated. She wouldn¡¯t hold back no matter how much anger she had, but instead, she would vent it all out even more exaggeratedly.
She knew that this was because he had always amodated her and spoiled her since they were young such that she would not put up a front whenever she was with him.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart jolted.
It was because of this¡ that in front of him, she was herself. Thus, the feelings she had toward him was unique.
He was someone to her that no one could ever rece.
What about her?
Did she mean the same to him as he did to her?
Yin Shaojie bent down, putting his hand on her face, he smiled charmingly as if to bewitch her. He took the chance, lowering his head and lightly pecking on her lips. Then, he pulled her up with his big hand around her waist.
¡°Do you want me to carry you down?¡± he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand wrapped around his neck out of habit. Their eyes met, and their reflections could be seen in their pupils.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s gazed deepened. He felt a great urge to put her on the bed, pin her down, and do some naughty things to her.
Then Mu Xiaoxiao leaned up and pressed her face against his, and she heaved a breath.
She said faintly, ¡°I missed you so much.¡±
Though she was mad at him, she also pined for him.
¡°I miss you too.¡± Yin Shaojie replied and pulled her closer to him.
The two hugged for a while. Then, Mu Xiaoxiao looked up and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go eat then. I¡¯m so hungry.¡±
Yin Shaojie was going to carry her.
But Mu Xiaoxiao pushed his hand away, ¡°Stop it.¡±
They were at Yin residence. With so many helpers looking, how could she let him carry her downstairs. She was only down with a cold. People not in the know might even misconstrue that she was paralyzed in her lower body to need him to carry her downstairs.
Yin Shaojie obediently let her down and held her hand, saying, ¡°Is this fine now?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, and the two went downstairs.
After eating, she was forced to take medicine.
¡°I¡¯ll eatter.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao tried to excuse herself for as long as she could.
Then, Han Qiqing¡¯s clear voice came from the door. ¡°Xiaoxiao! I¡¯m here to see you!¡±
It was as if Mu Xiaoxiao had seen her savior. Springing up from the sofa, she ran over to receive Han Qiqing. ¡°What brings you here?¡±
Han Qiqing batted her eyes at Mu Xiaoxiao, hinting that there was something secretive she had to pass to her.

Picking up on the hint immediately, Mu Xiaoxiao went up to hug Han Qiqing. ¡°Qiqing, I¡¯m so happy that you¡¯re here. Come, let¡¯s go to the room.¡±
Just as she was going to take Qiqing away, she heard Yin Shaojie saying mildly, ¡°Take your medicine first.¡±
That look of his was quite bossy.
Mu Xiaoxiao ttened her mouth, hesitated for a moment as she nced at Han Qiqing beside her before reluctantly going to take the medicine.
Han Qiqing smiled and greeted Mama Yin sweetly, ¡°Auntie, how are you? I¡¯m here to visit Xiaoxiao. She¡¯s looking much better now.¡±
Mama Yin smiled warmly and asked, ¡°Have you had your meal, Little Qing?¡±
Han Qiqing was very lovable to the elders. She nodded and said, ¡°Yeah,I have eaten already, and so I thought ofing to see Xiaoxiao, wondering if she may be getting any better. But I¡¯m relieved now to see her looking much better.¡±
Then, the helper carried the fruits over,and Mama Yin called out, ¡°Little Qing, have a seat and have some fruits too. It¡¯s rare for you toe here. If there¡¯s anything you would like to eat, tell Auntie.¡±
¡°Alright, Auntie. I won¡¯t stand on ceremony then.¡± Han Qiqing was about to go over and have a seat.
After swallowing the medicine, Mu Xiaoxiao turned around and grabbed her hand, and she said to Mama Yin, ¡°Mama Yin, Qiqing and I will be in the room to have a private chat. You don¡¯t have to wait for us. We¡¯ll eatter.¡±
Mama Yin smiled. ¡°What private chat? Even I¡¯m not allowed to listen?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nced at Yin Shaoje, smiling yfully as she said, ¡°We¡¯re saying bad things about him, so Mama Yin can¡¯t listen. We¡¯re going in now.¡±
¡°Okay. I will send a helper to bring fruits for you two to eat in the room then.
¡°Okay! Thanks Mama Yin!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao took Han Qiqing as they scurried into the room.
Han Qiqing looked at her. ¡°You can still skip and jump so lively. It seems that you are pretty much recovered.¡±
¡°I haven¡¯t fully recovered, but I am feeling more energetic. Now, if only I didn¡¯t have to take medicine.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao took her to sit on the sofa, her gaze resting upon on the bag she was carrying in her hand.
¡°Is this for me? What is it?¡±
Han Qiqing sat next to her, put the bag on the coffee table, and said, ¡°Lu Yichen told me to give you this. He knows that you are sick, so it¡¯s not convenient for him to visit you.¡±
¡°Him?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. She opened the bag and saw a few notebooks inside.
Han Qiqing poked her head over to look, and she asked, ¡°What is this?¡±
Although she was very curious about what Lu Yichen wanted to give to Xiaoxiao, she didn¡¯t open it up to check since it wasn¡¯t right to do so.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s a notebook. I totally forgot about this matter. I asked if I could borrow his notebook since he has such good grades so that I may be able to get some study shortcuts.¡±
After all, no one wanted to rank at the bottom of the list. Not only did she fail her tests, she was far from the passing scores.
In Year One, they only had tests with a maximum of 100 marks. In Year Two, they would be taking tests with a maximum of 150 marks. With more questions as they progress, if she were to continue scoring in the 30 marks to 40 marks range that¡¯d be really shameful!
Although Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t such a super schr like Lu Yichen, her grades were not bad. Ever since she was young, she had always been one of the better performing students.
She took pride in herself too. How could she allow herself to score so badly all the time?
¡°Notes?¡± Han Qiqing looked surprised as she picked up a notebook to browse it.
From the condition of the paper and the writing in it, it was obvious that this was a newly bought notebook.
Chapter 762 - The Painstaking Effort He Spent for Her (2)
Chapter 762: The Painstaking Effort He Spent for Her (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Han Qiqing nced at Mu Xiaoxiao dismally, her mouth moved, but she said nothing.
She had already guessed that Lu Yichen must have written these notes specially for Xiaoxiao.
Looking at the simple and clear organization and the easy-to-understand learning methods, it was easy to see how meticulous the author was.
This was a notebook made to fit Xiaoxiao to a T.
Chinese, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry¡ except for English and Politics, there were seven notebooks.
And almost everyone of the notebook was at least half-filled.
Han Qiqing sounded quite awkward as she asked Xiaoxiao, ¡°When did you¡ ask to borrow his notes?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. ¡°Justst week.¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s face paused. There was bitterness in her mouth.
Within a week¡¯s time, he had finished seven notebooks and he had even spent so much effort on it.
It was obvious that to him, Xiaoxiao¡
Han Qiqing didn¡¯t want to think about it anymore. She was upset, the pain was tugging at her inside.
Mu Xiaoxiao was also flipping through the notes as shemented, ¡°No wonder he¡¯s a super schr! What a neat set of notes! And he even kept it in such a good condition. People not in the know might even think that these are new notebooks. Seems like Lu Yichen is pretty fastidious, huh? Qiqing, don¡¯t you think so?¡±
Han Qiqing nodded quite absentmindedly. ¡°Yeah¡¡±
Actually, she would very much like to cheat herself and tell herself that these were Lu Yichen¡¯s notes that he had used for himself, and not ones that he had newly written.
But she remembered that when she was secretly watching Lu Yichen, she saw him taking notes. Though his notes were also quite neat, some words could only be legible to himself. There were also lots of remarks at the side that filled up the pages.
They were unlike the notes that she was seeing now. In order to make it less tiring to read through the notes, there weren¡¯t a lot of words per page. It was clean andfortable to look at.
Mu Xiaoxiao flipped open the History notes. She became engrossed as she looked through it, totally neglecting Qiqing¡¯s odd behavior.
¡°Actually, history is pretty simple. Why is it that when I read the book, it seemed so much moreplex and so hard to remember. It¡¯s no wonder that Lu Yichen is a super schr. He can extract all the main points. He¡¯s really good. And with the style of his notes, I can easily memorize these things now.¡±
With Lu Yichen¡¯s notes, she felt that as long as she studied it well, she definitely wouldn¡¯t score so badly again in the next examination.
Mu Xiaoxiao was ecstatic. Laughing cheerfully, she seemed to have recovered her usual high spirits.
Then, her cell phone received a message notification from WeChat.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused. For some reason, she was reminded of Su Lin, who she had just added earlier today.
Could she have sent her a message?
Mu Xiaoxiao was looking a little sulky. After forgetting all her frustrations and feeling happy for a moment, why did Su Lin have toe disturb her again?
It seemed like Su Lin and her were really born enemies, and they would never have a day where they could just get along.
Although she was reluctant, she still opened WeChat as she was also curious to see what Su Lin would say to her.
However, upon checking the message, the person who sent WeChat wasn¡¯t Su Lin, but Lu Yichen.
¡°Are you feeling better? I¡¯m about to board the ne for the flight tonight, and I thought I would let you know since I did promise to tell you. I hope to see you healthy when Ie back.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled. At least you keep your promises.
She replied, ¡°I have received the notes. They are very useful. I will study hard and not smear your reputation as a super schr. I wish you and Auntie all the best.¡±

After a short while, Lu Yichen replied, but with the same question again, ¡°So are you feeling better?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused, realizing that she didn¡¯t answer his question just now, so he asked again.
So she replied, ¡°Yeah, much better. I should be recovered by tomorrow.¡±
¡°That¡¯s good then. I¡¯m gonna board the ne.¡±
¡°Okay, let me know when you reach the States.¡±
After exchanging messages, Mu Xiaoxiao pressed on the back button and saw the profile photo of Su Lin, who she had added earlier.
Just the sight of it was quite tiresome.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought about whether she should just delete her. Otherwise she would get irritated every time she saw her.
But as she ruminated, she thoughtlessly opened up Su Lin¡¯s Moments to check if she had anything new posted.
Indeed, there was.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s pupils constricted as she saw a picture of two hands holding.
The text above said: ¡°Thank you foring.¡±
It could be clearly seen that the hand that was covering Su Lin¡¯s hand was a man¡¯s hand.
So, was Su Lin hinting that this was Yin Shaojie¡¯s hand?
This time, it was hard for Mu Xiaoxiao not to be annoyed.
She could pretend that the photo taken at the amusement park was a thing of the past. But this was a very current photo. The background is the white bedsheet of the sickbed. This photo was depicting how caring he was toward Su Lin. How could she still remain calm?
Yin Shaojie, you a**hole!
Mu Xiaoxiao was so furious that she wanted to rush downstairs and give Yin Shaojie a rough beating.
She allowed him to visit Su Lin at the hospital, not to let him share sweet moments with her!
What was the meaning of him doing this?
Han Qiqing came back to her senses and noticed something wrong in Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s expression. The anger emanating from her was aze.
Han Qiqing saw that Mu Xiaoxiao was staring at her phone, so she curiously poked her head over to look.
¡°What¡¯s the matter? Whose Moments is this?¡±
Why was Xiaoxiao so angry?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s attention was pulled back as she said in a huff, ¡°This is Su Lin¡¯s Moments. Didn¡¯t you add her?¡±
¡°I have added her, but this doesn¡¯t seem like her¡¡± Han Qiqing looked confounded. She checked the profile photo in the Moments and confirmed, saying, ¡°This really isn¡¯t her.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. ¡°This isn¡¯t Su Lin¡¯s WeChat? But¡ when she added me it showed her name.¡±
Han Qiqing took out the cell phone from her pocket, opened up her Moments and found Su Lin¡¯s WeChat. Then she showed it in front of her.
¡°Look, this is her. Their profile photos arepletely different.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She lowered her head and muttered to herself. Then she thought of a possibility. ¡°Could she have used another WeChat ID to add me?¡±
¡°Are you sure that is Su Lin? Strange, isn¡¯t she enemies with you? Why would she suddenly think of adding you? Is it because of this incident that she feels that she can reconcile with you?¡±
Han Qiqing was naive in her line of thought, not venturing into the darker possibilities.
¡°It should be her. No one else knows my WeChat ID¡ Eh? Oh yeah, then how did she know my WeChat ID?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t have many people in her WeChat ID. It was mostly her close friends and family. She wouldn¡¯t add other people because she thought that WeChat was quite private to her.
Han Qiqing also suddenly realized it, and she asked uprehendingly, ¡°Oh yeah, how did she know your WeChat ID?¡±
At this moment, she realized that there seemed to be something amiss.
¡°Xiaoxiao, let me see.¡±
Chapter 764 - What They Had Between Them (2)
Chapter 764: What They Had Between Them (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao handed her phone to her.
Han Qiqing looked at the content in front. When she saw the part about greeting her at the airport, she understood immediately and rolled her eyes.
¡°Su Lin¡¯s doing this on purpose. Xiaoxiao, don¡¯t you feel that she¡¯s letting you see this deliberately? I¡¯m guessing that she only added you and no one else with this WeChat ID.¡±
¡°Could it be that this isn¡¯t her?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao suggested a possibility.
¡°That¡¯s possible too. However, I don¡¯t know why the person would want you to see this if it isn¡¯t her. Why is the person trying to lie to you?¡± Han Qiqing felt as though her brain was not useful enough.
She scrolled to thetest status and read it.
Han Qiqing asked, puzzled, ¡°Wait, what does she mean by this?¡±
¡°What? Which one?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao craned her neck and realized that she was talking about the picture she was bothered by earlier.
Han Qiqing then reacted. She couldn¡¯t help but to scold, ¡°This Su Lin is too crafty! Yin Shaojie did go to the hospital to see her but he never went near the bed. How could she have such a photograph?¡±
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao paused. She then remembered that Han Qiqing had gone to the hospital earlier as well, so she definitely knew if Yin Shaojie did such a thing or not.
¡°Qiqing, you¡¯re¡ not lying to me, right?¡±
¡°Why should I lie to you! Are you thinking that I¡¯m lying to you because I¡¯m scared of hurting you? Of course not!¡± Han Qiqing said said firmly, ¡°You can ask Shijun too. The three of us were in the ward together for about twenty minutes, and Yin Shaojie never went near the bed at all. How could he have held Su Lin¡¯s hand? Su Lin¡¯s really good at cooking up things and spreading them around.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought about it for a while. ¡°It might be possible that we¡¯re reading this wrongly. She didn¡¯t say that this person was Yin Shaojie.¡±
Yeah, she had inferred this herself.
The content in front had made her subconsciously think that the person Su Lin was referring to was Yin Shaojie.
Han Qiqing was angry for her. She said furiously, ¡°I think Su Lin¡¯s doing this on purpose so that you¡¯ll mistake the person in the photo for Yin Shaojie and feel distressed, or cause a conflict between you and Yin Shaojie.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed bitterly and exhaled the pent-up frustration in her heart.
She was lucky that Qiqing was around to unravel this misunderstanding or she would feel really depressed for a long time.
¡°Xiaoxiao,¡± Han Qiqing called out suddenly. ¡°Do you not trust Yin Shaojie?¡±
¡°No!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao replied, feeling a little shocked.
How could she not trust Yin Shaojie? It was just that¡
Han Qiqing sighed. ¡°It can¡¯t be med on you actually. The thoughts of anyone in your position would run wild. We can only me the enemy for being too crafty and setting up such a trap for you. Ignore her ¡°Moments.¡± She¡¯s just letting you see all of this deliberately so that you¡¯ll feel depressed. Don¡¯t fall into her trap.¡±
¡°I know.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, but she was still thinking about what she posted and the photo in the amusement park.
Today¡¯s photo was staged, but the photo in the amusement park showed Yin Shaojie clearly. It couldn¡¯t have been faked, could it?
At the very least, the truth was that Yin Shaojie had lied to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head and looked at Han Qiqing. Sucking in a deep breath, she asked, ¡°Qiqing, can you tell me something? Before I came back, did Yin Shaojie and Su Lin¡ was there¡ anything between them?¡±
Chapter 765 - What They Had Between Them (3)
Chapter 765: What They Had Between Them (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°There¡¯s¡ nothing? I don¡¯t think there was anything between them. Don¡¯t think too much.¡± Han Qiqing sounded a little evasive.
She actually remembered that there was a period of time when Yin Shaojie and Su Lin had interacted more often. They had looked quite intimate and were often seen together.
However, she thought that it was better for her not to tell this to Xiaoxiao since that was a thing of the past. The person whom Yin Shaojie liked now was Xiaoxiao and he treated her so well, so that period should just be treated as something that happened in passing.
Han Qiqing continued, ¡°Anyway, think about it. Yin Shaojie¡¯s not bothering with her anymore. How could there be something between them? You¡¯re just thinking too much so don¡¯t think about it anymore. You¡¯re sick now and you should be resting.¡±
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao felt like she had indeed been thinking too much.
Thus, she nodded her head and said, ¡°Yeah, I know.¡±
The pair chatted for a while more. Seeing that it was gettingte, Han Qiqing said she should be going.
Mu Xiaoxiao sent her down.
¡°Alright, you don¡¯t have to send me anymore. You should go back to your room. Get well soon, okay?¡± Han Qiqing reached out to hug her and left.
Mu Xiaoxiao watched her leave before turning around and walking back. Yin Shaojie was obviously sitting in the living room but she pretended she couldn¡¯t see him.
She didn¡¯t feel like talking to him right now.
Unless he confessed to her first.
Yin Shaojie followed her up. However when he reached the room, he was blocked by Mu Xiaoxiao right outside the door.
¡°Don¡¯te in here. Go sleep in some other room tonight,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said.
Yin Shaojie was puzzled. ¡°Why?¡± he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao made up an excuse. ¡°Because¡ I have a cold! What if I spread it to you? You can¡¯t be thinking of sleeping with me when I¡¯m having a cold right? I won¡¯t allow that. You should go and sleep in another room, and we¡¯ll see about it after I¡¯ve recovered.¡±
She already tried her best to sound good-natured and not let him notice that she was angry at him.
¡°I¡¯m alright.¡± Yin Shaojie held a hand against the door frame and tried to push the door open.
¡°No!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao held the door firmly with a vice-like grip, preventing him from entering. She even said, ¡°Stop your nonsense. I¡¯m feeling ufortable and you¡¯re still pestering me. I don¡¯t want to spread it to you.¡±
Yin Shaojie looked into her eyes.
Just then, Mama Yin walked over from nearby and said, ¡°Xiaoxiao¡¯s right. She¡¯s having a cold right now so it¡¯s best for you to sleep separately. She needs a good rest and I¡¯ve already gotten someone to prepare a room for you. You¡¯ll sleep in the guest room.¡±
His mother having thus spoken, Yin Shaojie had no choice but to give in. ¡°Okay then.¡±
¡°Goodnight!¡± Behind him, Mu Xiaoxiao closed her door with a bang.
Yin Shaojie frowned. His dark eyes surveyed the door.
This girl was acting weird.
¡
America, Washington International Airport.
After flying for more than ten hours, they had finally arrived.
Lu Yichen supported his mother as they walked out from the passenger boarding bridge. It was now nighttime in America but the airport was brightly lit and there were many tourists around too.
This was a strangend and they were surrounded by strange foreigners.
They had different skin colors and spoke in different tongues. This made Lu Qian feel helpless, and she clutched her son¡¯s arm tightly.
¡°Yichen, what do we do now? Where do we go to take a taxi?¡±
Lu Qian was very worried. She had never been out of the country nor had her son. The pair were in a foreignnd now, and she didn¡¯t know what was going to happen.
Lu Yichen was very calm and collected. He exined to his mother, ¡°I¡¯ve already booked a hotel online. We can hail a taxi to get there directly.¡±

¡°Hail a taxi? Is that going to be expensive?¡± Lu Qian asked anxiously. Her illness needed a lot of money to treat, so it would be best if they were thriftier all-round as she didn¡¯t want to be a burden on her son.
Even though she was already being a burden right now.
Lu Qian¡¯s heart sank. She looked at her calm and steady son. Anyone who went to a strangend would feel as though they didn¡¯t know what to do or feel helpless. However, he was not like that and he looked very calm.
On the one hand, she was proud that her son was outstanding. On the other hand, she couldn¡¯t help but to think what kind of giant among men her son would be if he had grown up in a better environment.
Lu Qian¡¯s gaze darkened. She felt as though she had burdened her son. If he had grown up by his father¡¯s side¡
Lu Yichen was looking at his surroundings to find his way and he didn¡¯t notice his mother muttering.
¡°We¡¯re not familiar with the transport system here so hailing a taxi would be more convenient. Mom, you can rx. We have enough money so you don¡¯t have to worry about that.¡±
Lu Qian sighed again. ¡°The money is borrowed from Xiaoxiao. I don¡¯t know when we will be able to return such a huge sum of money¡¡±
¡°Mom, there¡¯s still me. I¡¯ll earn lots and lots of money in the future and I¡¯ll return it to Xiaoxiao with interest.¡± Lu Yichen looked at his mother resolutely. His steady gaze had the power tofort people.
Lu Qian believed him, of course. He had been outstanding since he was little, so outstanding that his own mother didn¡¯t dare to believe it.
¡°Okay, okay, okay, Mom knows that you can do it.¡±
Lu Yichen smiled before he looked up to continue finding the exit for taxis.
Just then, a foreigner rushed over hurriedly and knocked into him.
The person wasn¡¯t speaking English but some othernguage. Lu Yichen didn¡¯t understand him, but guessed that he was probably apologizing.
He looked at the person¡¯s features. He didn¡¯t look like an American, but an East European.
Lu Yichen grunted and furrowed his brow.
The person had not given him time to react. After apologizing, her walked past him hurriedly, looking rushed, as though he was pressed for time.
Lu Qian said a little displeased, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with this person? The airport is so big, and he can still knock into someone.¡±
Lu Yichen paused. It was then that he came to his senses and touched his pockets anxiously.
D*mmit!
His wallet had been stolen!
He recalled something. There had been reports in international news that America had received some refugees from Eastern Europe and that they were known for thievery. This resulted in many Americans disliking them.
Lu Yichen¡¯s face paled. His wallet contained his identification and bank card, both things that couldn¡¯t be lost.
¡°Mom, wait here for me. I¡¯ll be back soon! Don¡¯t go anywhere, you hear? Wait here for me!¡±
Lu Yichen left her with these words before he dashed off to chase after the person.
However, the airport was very big and there was too much human traffic. The thief had nned this and had long disappeared.
What should he do now?
This was Lu Yichen¡¯s first time panicking so badly. After all, he was just an 18 year-old youth, and his external calmness was an act he put on for his mother because he didn¡¯t want her to worry. He could endure the stress in his heart alone and that was enough.
After looking around unsessfully, Lu Yichen got worried about his mother and returned to the original spot where she had been.
However¡
The spot where she had been standing was empty. There was no one there!
¡°Mom?¡± The color drained from his face.

His calm expression fell to pieces. Lu Yichen only felt his hands and legs run cold, and he lost his sense of bearing.
¡°MOM¡ª¡± he shouted. He didn¡¯t know where he should start looking for her.
He didn¡¯t care about anything else right then. He looked around helplessly, trying to find any trace of his mother.
His mother might have gone to the toilet. She must have. Nothing must have happened to her, thought Lu Yichen.
Lu Yichen¡¯s heart tightened. He didn¡¯t dare to imagine whether his mother had lost her way or had been kidnapped¡
His blood turned colder and colder.
He tried to calm himself down to formte the best n to find his mother.
However, he was unable to calm his anxiety and was a mess.
Not only had his mom not gone out of the country before, she had also never been outside of City A.
How scared must she be feeling now?
Lu Yichen¡¯s eyes were red now. He gritted his teeth, enduring his anxiety as he tried to find that familiar figure in the mass of people.
I hope nothing¡¯s wrong, I hope nothing¡¯s wrong, I hope nothing¡¯s wrong¡
He had never felt himself so weak and helpless before.
He seemed to not be able to do anything other than pray now.
¡°MOM¡ª WHERE ARE YOU!¡± He screamed in a heart-wrenching voice.
¡°Yichen¡¡±
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out from behind him.
Lu Yichen turned around anxiously and almost slipped and fell. His pupils dted as he looked at the person before him.
It was his mother.
His only kin.
She was standing in front of him, unscathed.
Lu Yichen¡¯s legs went a little weak. Luckily, he was able to hold himself up and didn¡¯t make himself look like more of a mess.
¡°Where¡ have you been?¡± His voice was hoarse and dry as he asked, but it was not reprimanding.
It was his fault for leaving his mother alone.
Lu Qian looked at her sweaty son and the lingering panic in his eyes guiltily.
She heart ached immensely and she understood what had happened.
¡°Sorry, mom made you worry. I only saw that person¡ Did that man steal your wallet just now? I saw him and went to chase after him¡¡±
But I asked you to stand here to wait for me!
Lu Yichen breathed in deeply and closed his eyes, keeping the rebuke that wanted toe out of his mouth in.
¡°Mom, your health isn¡¯t good so you couldn¡¯t have caught up to him. It¡¯s okay if my wallet is gone.¡±
¡°But¡¡±
¡°Where¡¯s our luggage?¡± Lu Yichen looked at her hands and it was only then that she realized that there wasn¡¯t anything beside her. Their luggage was nowhere to be seen too.
He suddenly had a bad feeling.
Could it be that the luggage had also been stolen?
Lu Qian looked as though she could see his worry and shook her head hurriedly, ¡°No, it¡¯s not lost. That young man there is holding on to it for us and they¡¯ve gone to chase after that guy.¡±
¡°What young man?¡± Lu Yichen had to stay vignt. After all, this was not China. There were all sorts of people out here and no one could tell if they were really being good-hearted or had bad intentions.
However, he couldn¡¯t me his mother for not being vignt.
Lu Qian looked behind him and smiled. ¡°Those young men over there. They¡¯ve caught the person.¡±
Lu Yichen turned around and saw three men in western suits. One of the men had their luggage in his hand, and the other two were holding on to the East European who had stolen his wallet.
The person with their luggage in tow walked up to them and said to Lu Qian respectfully in Mandarin, ¡°Madam, is this your wallet?¡±
Lu Yichen looked at it. It was indeed his wallet. He took it and nodded. ¡°Thank you.¡±
Even though he believed that there were good people in this world, he still maintained a skeptical attitude and looked at the men in front of him guardedly.

These three men didn¡¯t seem like normal working-ss men.
Also, their attitude was overly respectful which was abnormal.
Lu Qian wanted to take her luggage back, but the man smiled gently and gestured that he would hold it for her.
After that, he looked towards Lu Yichen and asked, ¡°May I ask if you are Lu Yichen?¡±
Lu Yichen was shocked, but still replied, ¡°I am. May I know who you are? How do you know me?¡±
The man in front of him looked a little Eastern, and was probably had mixed Chinese and American blood. Lu Yichen noticed that the man¡¯s Mandarin pronunciation was good.
The man smiled warmly and said, ¡°I was sent by the miss to receive you so you need not worry. We are not bad guys.¡±
The man took out his phone and tapped on a voice message as he said this.
Lu Yichen was shocked for Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s voice rang out of it.
¡°Yichen, these people are whom I asked my Papa to meet you at the airport because you¡¯re foreign to thend over there and I was afraid that you¡¯dget into trouble. They¡¯ll arrange everything for you and you can safely travel with them. Don¡¯t stand on ceremony with me, okay? What¡¯s most important right now is Auntie¡¯s health, right?¡±
Lu Yichen¡¯s throat seemed to be choked by something.
She was really thorough in her preparations. Knowing that he didn¡¯t trust people easily, she had even made this recording so that he would have peace of mind.
It was lucky that she had arranged for these people, for they had caught the wallet-stealer just in time so that he wasn¡¯t stuck in a spot where he couldn¡¯t bring his mother anywhere.
Lu Yichen breathed deeply, but was unable to stop his eyes from reddening.
She had helped him once more when he was helpless.
Lu Qian recognized Xiaoxiao¡¯s vocie as well. She looked at the man in front of her with surprise. Moved, she said, ¡°Did Xiaoxiao¡ send you here?¡±
¡°Yes, Madam,¡± the man answered respectfully, maintaining the smile on his face. Because he had also helped them, Lu Qian felt a friendliness towards them instantly.
Lu Qian sighed with emotion, ¡°Xiaoxiao is such a considerate child.¡±
The man looked at Lu Yichen and pointed to the East European man. ¡°Mr. Lu, may I ask how you would like to handle this man?¡±
¡°Bring him to the police,¡± Lu Yichen said mildly.
The man nodded and said something in English to the other two men. The person was then brought away.
¡°Madam, Mr. Lu, the car is waiting outside.¡±
Lu Qian looked towards Lu Yichen, evidently waiting for his decision.
¡°Thank you,¡± Lu Yichen replied, nodding politely before supporting his mother and walking in the specified direction.
The man walked in front as a guide while dragging their luggage.
There was a ck saloon car outside. It looked discreet and not extravagant.
However, Lu Yichen saw its icon. It was a Bentley.
After entering the car, it was even more obvious that this car was expensive.
They were sent to a luxurious condominium. The man told them that the hospital was nearby and that there were some hired helpers who woulde over to cook and clean.
After handing the key to them and leaving somements, the man left so that they could rest.
It was already in the middle of the night after settling his mom down.
Lu Yichen stood in the spacious balcony and gazed at the lights below, the expression on his face indescribable.
This was the world¡¯s most prosperous city¡ª Washington.
He remembered something and took out his phone. His gaze was deep as he sought out Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s number. He paused as he hovered over it, but still pressed down to call her.
He had promised that he would tell her when he¡¯d arrived.
He was originally only going to send a message.
However, he couldn¡¯t control himself right now and wanted to hear her voice

During ss.
It was bright outside. Han Qiqingid herself on the desk, holding a fist under her chin with one hand writing something on the nk graph paper.
A shadow crept over her, but she was unaware, looking very absorbed.
Song Shijun sat down at the seat in front of her desk. Catching her unprepared, he snatched away the paper she was writing on.
¡°What are you writing?¡±
Han Qiqing finally reacted to him, looking at him surprised. Then she reached for the paper to get it back. ¡°Hey, what are you doing! Give it back to me!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s see what you have written.¡± Song Shijun looked amused. His hands were much longer than her. Just by raising his hand was enough to keep it out of her reach.
Damned little stub of a hand!
¡°Song Shijun!¡± Han Qiqing called out his name as she red at him, and she threatened, ¡°Give it to me quickly!¡±
¡°Or what? You¡¯ll bite me?¡± Song Shijun jokingly proffered his hand to her, thinking she wouldn¡¯t dare to bite him.
Han Qiqing curled her lips and ground her teeth as she stared at his hand.
¡°You think I won¡¯t bite you?¡±
Then I¡¯ll show you!
With that said, she grabbed his hand with both her hands, and ruthlessly bit him.
¡°Ow!¡± Song Shijun screamed and quickly pulled his hand back. ¡°You really bit me? Qiqing, were you born in the year of the dog?¡±
On the back of his hand was arge bite mark.
Han Qiqing ground her teeth angrily as she said, ¡°Are you going to return it now?¡±
Given their differences in height and arm length, it was hard for her to take it back herself.
Song Shijun suddenly smiled mischievously. His handsome face leaned close to her, and he deliberately said, ¡°I just went to the bathroom and didn¡¯t wash my hands.¡±
Han Qiqing paused. Then her face turned ashen as the thought came to her.
¡°Song! Shi! Jun!¡±
Then she spat her saliva about as though she was really afraid ofing into contact with something foul.
Thinking about how he went to the washroom earlier and not wash his hands after touching his thing¡
Han Qiqing was enraged with disgust!
¡°Song Shijun, I¡¯m going to kill you!¡± She stood up immediately and threw herself at him, trying to strangle his neck.
Song Shijun quicklyughed, ¡°I was just kidding! Just look. You bit my left hand, okay? When we go to the toilet, we usually use the¡¡±
¡°Shut up! One more word from you, and I will throw you down from here!¡± Han Qiqing was red as she shouted at him.
Song Shijun raised his hand to surrender, and then he zipped up his mouth.
¡°Humph!¡± Han Qiqing sat down, her eyes still ring at him.
She searched at her desk but there wasn¡¯t any water around.
¡°Do you have water?¡±
Song Shijun nodded obediently.
Han Qiqing pointed to his desk and said, ¡°Go and get it for me!¡±
That resembled a master ordering about her dog.
The puppy, Song Shijun ??was very obedient. He quickly went to get the water and even tried to get on her good side by helping her to unscrew the cap.
¡°You don¡¯t need to open it! Off with your dirty hands!¡± Han Qiqing shouted at him.
Song Shijun stopped opening the bottle, and proffered it with both hands to her.
Han Qiqing unscrewed the cap and drank it as though to rinse her mouth. Her anger subsided a little
However, she vowed to herself that she would never bite his hand again. Just the thought of this was traumatic.
Seeing that she had calmed down, Song Shijun then went back to his jovial manner as he looked at the paper in his hand.
There were only two words written on the paper. It was someone¡¯s name.
Lu Yichen.
Song Shijun sighed inwardly and returned her paper.

He folded his hands on her desk, his neck craned over, and he said softly in a voice that only both of them could hear, ¡°Qiqing, why torture yourself?¡±
Han Qiqing knew that he had seen what was written on the paper, so she didn¡¯t want to say more to him.
How could this guy understand her feelings?
Liking someone was not something that she had control over.
Moreover, she enjoyed liking Lu Yichen. She was very happy, although she would still feel sad asionally.
Han Qiqing drank half of the water, took the piece of paper back, and put it in the drawer. Then, she asked him to leave, ¡°Go back to your seat and stop disturbing me.¡±
Song Shijun looked hesitant. ¡°Sigh. I actually came here to show you something¡ but now I don¡¯t know whether I should show it to you or not.¡±
However, even if he didn¡¯t show her, she would soon find out from somewhere else.
¡°What is it?¡± Han Qiqing didn¡¯t seem very interested.
Song Shijun pondered for a moment and decided to show it to her himself. If she were to be saddened after watching it, at least he could stillfort her.
He took out the cell phone, opened a video, and yed it in front of her.
¡°It¡¯s this. It was uploaded this morning. People have already been spreading it everywhere.¡±
Han Qiqing took the cell phone and looked closer.
It was an edited video. The picture was edited to look romantic with a breath of youthfulness to it.
The male and female in the video were Lu Yichen and Xiaoxiao!
At the beginning, Lu Yichen was apanying Xiaoxiao in her run. Han Qiqing remembered this scene because she had seen the picture before. However, she didn¡¯t expect that someone had also captured a video of it.
In the video, the dashing boy and the sweet, fresh-looking girl were verypatible.
They ran side by side, asionally looking at each other and exchanging words. At other times, they ran quietly. But with romantic background music to go with, it actually turned out to be a very sweet scene.
The next scene was the two standing at the corridor with the ckboard bulletin. They were face-to-face talking about something with each other. Xiaoxiao had a yful and cute expression whereas Lu Yichen was smiling faintly, and there seemed to be some pampering in his eyes.
The next scene, Lu Yichen was ying basketball and Mu Xiaoxiao was sitting at the seats watching.
Soon, the next scene came about. There was only the two of them left on the basketball court. Mu Xiaoxiao leaned against his shoulder and fell asleep. Lu Yichen turned his head to watch her, his gaze was gentle like water. It was a heart-warming scene.
The video was actually very short, but the editing and background music were very apt. It looked totally like a trailer for one of those teenage dramas.
Someone shouted in thements section, ¡°What is this film? Tell me the name of it! I beg you!¡±
¡°Oh my, this is too much! A beautiful girl and a handsome guy. What a match! This is not good. My dog food is almost finished. I have to buy more!¡±
¡°Wait for me, I have to buy dog ??food too! This is too much dog abuse!¡±
¡°Original poster, quickly give us the actual film. Don¡¯t fool us with this trailer! We have to watch the full version!¡±
¡°Yeah, yeah. Are there any kissing scenes? Are there any bed scenes? I want to see more!¡±
Han Qiqing read thements silently, her face was grim.
¡°Stop reading it.¡± Song Shijun grabbed her hand to prevent her from reading it and took back his cell phone.
Han Qiqing looked at him uprehendingly. ¡°Who¡ who posted this?¡±
How did this person capture this footage?

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
But there was at least one thing clear. Things did happen between Lu Yichen and Mu Xiaoxiao, which allowed someone to capture them.
For some reason, Han Qiqing thought of Su Lin, and her eyes widened. ¡°Could she be the one behind it?¡±
¡°Who?¡± Song Shijun looked at her, and then he exined, ¡°This was posted by a boy from our school. He¡¯s quite famous on the Inte. He usually likes to make some videos, or create some short skits that are quite popr online. He said on Weibo he just happened to capture this on video. At first, he was just being gossipy. Butter, he had an inspiration and came up with this edited video, not expecting to get such good reviews. ¡±
¡°At least he was honest in saying that those two in the video are not lovers but only friends.¡±
Song Shijun saw the number of shares on Weibo had already reached 20000. He suddenly had a bad feeling about it.
If Yin Shaojie were to see this video¡
Song Shijun shuddered unknowingly, feeling a little chilly.
Although they all knew that Xiaoxiao was only treating Lu Yichen as a friend, unlike the earlier scenes, theter one where Xiaoxiao leaned against Lu Yichen¡¯s shoulder¡ that was a bit too intimate.
He could imagine how Yin Shaojie would definitely explode upon seeing this.
But now, he was more worried about Han Qiqing.
¡°Hey, are you okay?¡± Song Shijun observed Han Qiqing¡¯s expression.
Han Qiqing¡¯s smile was bitter as she muttered softly, ¡°I¡¯ve always known¡¡±
She had always known that Lu Yichen liked Xiaoxiao.
It was just that there was a side to him when he liked someone, that she had never known.
Though he was cold and indifferent most of the time, he could also look at someone with such gentleness.
Unfortunately, the person he was looking at wasn¡¯t her.
Han Qiqing buried her head in her arms and said mournfully, ¡°What should I do? I¡¯m jealous of Xiaoxiao¡¡±
She said it in a very soft voice, thinking that no one else would be able to hear her.
However, Song Shijun was trained in the troops. He had a very sharp hearing. What she said was crystal clear to him.
He touched her head. ¡°Cry out if you want. And forget him. How many times have I told you? Why do you have to like him?¡±
I told you that you will regret it.
It was still not toote to turn back. He was afraid that if she were to continue like this, she would fall so deeply into it that she wouldn¡¯t be able to extricate herself.
He didn¡¯t want to see her end up like that.
Han Qiqingid for a while. Suddenly, she raised her head, smacked his hand away, and said distastefully, ¡°Don¡¯t mess up my hair!¡±
How kind of him tofort her, yet instead of being grateful, she was annoyed.
Song Shijun stared at her reddened eyes without saying anything.
He knew that she was just changing the subject.
Han Qiqing frowned and said worriedly, ¡°Yin Shaojie must definitely not see this. With his temper, he will definitely explode! What do you think we should do?¡±
Even at this time, she wasn¡¯t attending to her sadness, but she was worried about how it would affect Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie.
Song Shijun gazed pensively. He hoped that her rtionship with Xiaoxiao wouldn¡¯t be affected because of Lu Yichen.
He shrugged, ¡°What can we do? The video is already being shared around so quickly. Shaojie will definitely see it. It is only a matter of time.¡±
¡°Then hurry up and think of a solution!¡±
Han Qiqing thought of something and said hurriedly, ¡°Oh yeah, don¡¯t you know the person who made this video? We can find him and tell him to delete it!¡±

¡°It¡¯s useless. Some people have also posted it in other ces. It¡¯s toote to delete it now.¡±
¡°What should we do? We can¡¯t just do nothing, can we?¡±
Song Shijun stared at her contemtively, ¡°Unless¡ we delete all of the uploaded videos.¡±
¡°¡ Can this be done?¡± Han Qiqing looked at him curiously.
Right, wouldn¡¯t it solve the problem once they have deleted all of the uploaded videos?
Song Shijun squinted at her. ¡°What do you think? How can it be that easy!¡±
Han Qiqing rolled her eyes at him. ¡°Then why the heck did you mention it! Hurry and think of another way.¡±
She suddenly stood up and pulled him out. ¡°Come, let¡¯s go and find the one who made the video. Which ss is he in?¡±
¡°Why do you want to look for him?¡±
¡°I want to rify some things with him!¡± And see if he may be someone sent by Su Lin.
¡
At the Yin residence.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s cold was subsiding but she still didn¡¯t want to go to ss, taking the opportunity to ck off at home.
After azy sleep, she took Lu Yichen¡¯s notes to study, sitting at the bedhead.
Just as she was starting to focus, the cell phone suddenly sounded with a WeChat notification, startling her.
She picked up the cell phone and opened WeChat to check.
It was sent by Han Qiqing. There were more than ten messages.
Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised. Within a minute, she had sent so many messages. Just what could be so urgent?
Upon opening her messages, the first few messages were Han Qiqing asking her if she was there. In theter messages, Han Qiqing had sent a video.
She was puzzled and replied, ¡°I¡¯m here. What¡¯s this?¡±
Just after sending the message, her cell phone rang.
It was Han Qiqing calling.
Mu Xiaoxiao answered it, and immediately, Han Qiqing¡¯s voice was booming over the phone.
¡°Xiaoxiao! Have you seen the video? What should we do!¡±
¡°Video? I haven¡¯t seen it yet. What¡¯s the matter?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was feeling more puzzled, as though something big had just happened.
Han Qiqing said anxiously, ¡°The video was¡ taken of you and Lu Yichen. Wasn¡¯t there a time when you fell asleep leaning against his shoulder? There was also that time when you two were running together, and¡ in short, you two were portrayed as a very sweet couple. This video has been spreading all over the Inte. Has Yin Shaojie seen it yet? Did he look for you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She then picked up on the situation. ¡°How did this¡ happen? Who is the one who posted the video?¡±
¡°It is someone from our school. He said that he just happened toe across you guys and captured the footage. I initially suspected that it was Su Lin who instructed him to do that. Later, I went to ask him some questions. It didn¡¯t seem to be so. It seems to be a coincidence. He just happened to have physical education ss in the same period as you.
Mu Xiaoxiao was initially in a good mood. But this news was a downer.
¡°Okay, I got it. I¡¯ll take a look at this video first.¡±
She quickly hung up the phone and yed the video sent by Han Qiqing.
The video was only about a few minutes long, so she was done watching it very quickly.
Mu Xiaoxiao held her forehead, looking distressed.
Thest scene was even more distressing, where she fell asleep on Lu Yichen¡¯s shoulders. Would Yin Shaojie burst out angrily upon seeing this?
She had to exin herself quickly!
It didn¡¯t matter whether Yin Shaojie had already seen it or not. Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to resolve the situation only when he came looking for her demanding an exnation.
She anxiously dialed a call to him.
The call was cut off after only a few rings.
Chapter 773 - How Much He Cared For Her (2)

It meant that he had hung up on her call.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand froze and her heart sank.
Had he already seen the video, and now he was angry? So he didn¡¯t want to pick up her call?
Time and time again, they had quarreled because of Lu Yichen. This time, Lu Yichen and her had allowed this video to spread about. Given his character, how could he not get mad?
Mu Xiaoxiao was so anxious that her eyes were wet.
Even if he was angry, couldn¡¯t he just hear her out first?
How could he do this!
Mu Xiaoxiao leaned on the bedhead, hugging her curled up legs, her head buried between her knees. She was despondent and pained.
Just then, her cell phone rang.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up at the caller ID. It was Yin Shaojie.
Initially, her eyes were watery, and tears rolled down from her eyes. This time, a tear rolled down her cheek.
She quickly answered the phone and said, sobbing, ¡°Hello¡¡±
¡°I was busy just now,¡± Yin Shaojie exined.
Mu Xiaoxiao listened to the sound of his voice. It was very steady. It didn¡¯t seem like he was angry.
Could it be that he hadn¡¯t seen the video yet? Was he really busy just now, so he hung up the call?
Yeah, didn¡¯t he call her back immediately?
The tugging feeling in her heart finally eased up.
However, her voice was still a little aggrieved as she said, ¡°Are you still busy now? Can youe back for a while?¡±
She didn¡¯t want to tell him over the phone, but in person. So even if he were to have any reactions to it, she would be able to see it clearly, instead of having to guess his facial expression over the cell phone.
¡°Okay, I¡¯lle right away,¡± Yin Shaojie replied without asking her if it was anything important.
The way he was treating her felt nice but it also made her more worried.
To him, any problems that she faced would always be of top priority.
Just this alone was enough to show how much he liked and cared about her.
So how angry would he be after seeing the video showing how intimate Lu Yichen and her were acting?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s nose felt sour again. Her heart was aching.
¡°Come back quickly¡¡± she said, sobbing.
Yin Shaojie heard something amiss in her tone, he didn¡¯t ask about it, only saying, ¡°I¡¯ll be back very quickly.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao reluctantly hung up the phone.
The wait was filled with anxiety and turmoil.
She was afraid that someone might inform him about the video on his way back. And upon seeing the video, he would return and question her fiercely without even waiting for her to exin herself.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, she finally heard footsteps.
¡°Xiaoxiao, I¡¯m back.¡±
His maic voice was heard from the door.
Mu Xiaoxiao never felt so anxious to see him. She couldn¡¯t even wait for him to walk a few more steps. Before even wearing her slippers, she jumped out of bed and ran barefoot to him.
Yin Shaojie had just opened the door. Before he could even enter, a petite figure rushed into his arms and hugged him tightly.
He hugged her back, looked down at her little face, andughed, ¡°What? Do you miss me so much?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up and stared into his eyes, which were like the starry night sky.
Seeing that he was still joking light-heartedly with her, it meant that he hadn¡¯t watched the video.
Her anxious heart finally rxed a little.
¡°Yeah!¡± she nodded.
Yin Shaojie thought it was very odd. It was rare to see her so obedient.
He stared at her suspiciously. ¡°Really? Or have you done something to let me down?¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face stiffened.
Yin Shaojie squinted and said, ¡°You did something to let me down?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face dropped, her arms wrapped around his waist, and she pressed her face pressed against his chest. She listened to his steady heartbeat as if to calm her own anxiety.
¡°If I say yes¡ will you be angry? Can you hear me out first?¡± She said softly, in a pleading tone.
Yin Shaojie stroked her head. ¡°Tell me then. I¡¯ll hear you out. But whether I get angry or not depends on what you¡¯re going to tell me.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused as she contemted how she should go about telling him about it.
She let go of him, hugged his arm, and pulled him to the bed.
¡°Well¡ You know that time when Lu Yichen was running together with me? You have seen the photos. It was just a coincidence. Someone just happened to capture it on video, and together with some other videos he captured, he edited it into a¡¡±
She didn¡¯t dare to finish her sentence, but she opened the video on her cell phone to let him watch it.
¡°There is something I didn¡¯t tell you thest time. I was dragged by some ssmates to watch him y basketball. Maybe I was too tired after running but somehow I fell asleep. I was leaning against a ssmate initially, but I don¡¯t know why¡ I woke up leaning on him instead¡¡±
As she said that, her voice became softer and softer, and she was even afraid to look into his eyes.
But even then, she could still feel that a terrifying pressure exuded by the person beside her.
Mu Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva.
¡°What about this?¡± Yin Shaojie asked coldly.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart trembled. Looking at the video, it was the scene of them at the ckboard bulletin corridor.
She lowered her head and said, ¡°This is¡ when I went to look for him to borrow his notes¡ We only exchanged a few words, and nothing else happened. I don¡¯t know how that person just happened to capture it on video.¡±
She didn¡¯t want this to happen either!
It was too unsafe. She would get caught on camera everywhere she went.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes were locked on her little face as he asked, ¡°You went to look for him to borrow his notes?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was afraid that he wouldn¡¯t believe her, so she quickly went to retrieve the notes at the nightstand. She proffered the notes to him with both hands. ¡°It¡¯s true. I wasn¡¯t lying to you. Since he has excellent grades, I thought he may have some good study tips, so I borrowed his notes¡¡±
¡°I was reading it at home earlier. It is really useful. I feel like I learn much more than I do in ss.¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t take the notes from her to check, only giving it a nce.
His gaze then shifted back to the video.
The video was reyed.
Mu Xiaoxiao was anxious to death. Why was he viewing it again! It seemed like the chilly air he was giving out would only be worse if he were to view it again.
¡°Don¡¯t be angry, okay? There¡¯s really nothing between him and I! Don¡¯t you know me? If I really liked him, I wouldn¡¯t be with you!¡±
As Yin Shaojie kept silent, Mu Xiaoxiao grew even more anxious.
¡°I hate this as well. Why would some people take videos of us and make them into this video? I just saw this video and looked for you immediately. I was afraid that you¡¯ll be angry. You don¡¯t know how hurt I felt when you didn¡¯t pick up my call just now. I thought you had already seen the video, gotten mad, and were ignoring me.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t just stay silent, okay? Say something, even if you¡¯re going to scold me¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was so bothered that she was about to cry. Tears welled up in her eyes as she hugged his arm tightly.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s face was serious. His hand held the back of her head and he looked into her eyes.
Containing his anger, he gritted his teeth and said, ¡°I¡¯m very angry.¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao pressed her forehead against his, her two slender, fair hands wrapped around his neck, and she said in a fawning manner, ¡°Stop being angry then.¡±
She was also pained to see how angry he was.
Yin Shaojie looked into her eyes and took a few deep breaths as though he was calming himself down. Recalling the video he had just seen felt like a thorn in his eyes. If it wasn¡¯t for her good attitude, he would have already exploded.
¡°How can I not get angry upon seeing this video?¡± he asked her coldly.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little face dropped, and she said awkwardly, ¡°I don¡¯t think you can¡¡±
It was only normal for him to be angry. If he didn¡¯t get angry, then it would be odd.
Looking pitiful, Mu Xiaoxiao whimpered like a small animal and said, ¡°What will it take for you to stop being angry then? I have already been honest in exining to you. Shouldn¡¯t you be more lenient? And I¡¯ve been keeping a good attitude¡¡±
¡°You call this good?¡± Yin Shaojie red at her disapprovingly.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought worriedly. If her attitude wasn¡¯t good enough, then what else did she have to do?
¡°I have already eaten my humble pie. What more do you want!¡±
She was at her wit¡¯s end and couldn¡¯t think of any better solutions.
Yin Shaojie pushed her onto the bed, his tall body came down on her, his strong arm pressed down beside her ear. ¡°I¡¯m angry. You need to let me vent, then I can properly hear you out.¡±
Vent?
Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly as she had not caught up on what he was referring to.
The next second, his elegant, charming face leaned close to her and the thin lips pressed against her little mouth.
As though he was ovee with a heated anger, he kissed her in a rough manner as if he was really going to devour her little mouth.
Her little tongue, unable to escape from him as he kissed and sucked domineeringly, started to feel numb at the tip.
How impetuous he was that she couldn¡¯t guard herself.
But just when she was about to push him away instinctively, she remembered what he said.
You have to let me vent¡
She stopped her hands and instead wrapped them around his neck, allowing him to upy the inside of her mouth.
The kiss was too intense that Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mind was going nk.
When she felt a sudden cooling sensation at her chest, she recovered her senses.
Her shirt was lifted up slightly, and a big hand intruded from beneath, unrestrained as itid against her tenderness.
Her ample size couldn¡¯t be palmed in his hands. His fingers kneaded it wantonly. That sensation as soft as tofu darkened his eyes, and his breathing grew heavier.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s knitted her brows and called out in pain. The watery, bright eyes gazed into his as though she was being bullied pitifully.
Her intive eyes seemed to call out for him to be gentler. However, little did she know that that look of hers would only arouse a man¡¯s beastly nature, feeding his urge to bully her with greater force to make her feel the pain.
If she didn¡¯t feel the pain, how would she remember? And how could it be considered a punishment?
However, Yin Shaojie knew where to stop, so he wasn¡¯t too rough on her. It was just that Mu Xiaoxiao had never had someone y with her chest before. That slight pain and shame aroused a strange, indescribable feeling inside as her whole body tensed up.
Yin Shaojie watched the little face of hers aroused. His eyes, like the starry night sky, narrowed slightly as he released her from his lips. Then, he spoke into her ear and asked if she felt good.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head, but nodded again. She seemed disoriented, wondering what was up with herself.

¡°This was meant to help me vent. You can¡¯t be the only one feeling good,¡± he said in a deep and husky voice.
His words seemed to hint at something else.
His gaze seemed to scorch as it fell upon the area where his palms were ying at. And as though in a deliberate manner, his fingers pinched the frontmost parts.
Mu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth abruptly and let out a moan. The petite body was even more tensed as she gasped heavily and there seemed to be a swelling feeling in her chest.
¡°Ughhuh, stop bullying me¡¡± sheined, her voice could not be raspier.
¡°This isn¡¯t bullying,¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes were devilish. He didn¡¯t look as nonchnt as he tried to appear, staring at her in a fiery gaze.
He was really angry. The only thing he wanted to do now was to leave his scent and mark on her so that other men wouldn¡¯t get close to her.
¡°Jie¡¡± With arms around his neck, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s watery, bright eyes stared at him coquettishly.
¡°This is not enough.¡± How could he vent away the burning anger inside him with only this?
Mu Xiaoxiao whimpered again, hers voice raspy as she said, ¡°Then what else do you want to do¡¡±
Restraining her movements, he said tyrannically, ¡°You have to go along with whatever I want to do and you can¡¯t resist, do you hear me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
His eyes gave her the vague feeling as though he was going to eat her up. He couldn¡¯t be up to anything good. She already wanted to resist him now, okay?
¡°W-we can use other means to help you vent, something a bit more cultured¡¡± Before she could finish speaking, her mouth was smothered again.
Objection overruled!
His big hand seemed to burn as it yed wantonly at her chest, forcing her body to react to his every movement.
As though it wasn¡¯t enough, after kissing her till she was almost out of air, those alluring yet frustrating thin lips took the position of his fingers, and took into his mouth the frontal part of that snow-white roundness. His hot tongue and teeth acted in unison as he bullied her.
Unable to bear the intense sensations, Mu Xiaoxiao bit her lip, and she could only let out whimpering moans as tears rolled out from the corner of her eyes.
His lips loitered at the snow-white breasts as though he was tasting a delicacy, leaving behind his marks.
After some time, he finally stopped, his gaze locked on her watery eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao was breathing faintly. She looked down and met his eyes. Those eyes seemed so dark and deep that she felt like sinking into them.
Through the passionate exchange, fine droplets of sweat formed densely on her fair, tender skin, intensifying her youthful womanly scent.
Yin Shaojie suddenly lowered his head and buried his face in her neck, their necks criss-crossing like a pair of swans.
He breathed the air that was filled with her sweet scent. It smelled so good.
Mu Xiaoxiao could feel his heavy breathing and the vigorous rise and fall of his chest as itid on hers. It was as if there was a beast inside it that was about to jump out.
Was he¡ done with the bullying?
Initially thinking there was still more toe, she finally heaved a breath of relief upon seeing hime to a stop.
Luckily, though he had been a little perverted, it was still easy to coax him.
However, remembering his wanton behavior towards her breasts, her face continued to blush.
Mu Xiaoxiao gently beat her fist on his back and said softly, ¡°Can you get up? You¡¯re so heavy.¡±

¡°You don¡¯t think that¡¯s the end of it, do you?¡± he said in a husky, charming voice into her ear. The deep subwoofer-like voice sent her heart fluttering.
Huh?
Did he mean¡
This certainly wasn¡¯t enough for Yin Shaojie to vent himself. He was only slowing himself down, lest his beastly nature scare her.
His eyes darkened in a deep gaze that seemed like it could swallow everything.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little hand slid down from his shoulder to his chest. Temperature rose beneath those sturdy pectorals, and the thumping sound was stronger than before.
The chest was undting as if it was umting energy before bursting into action.
Yin Shaojie nced to the side, grabbed the nket with his long arms, turned over, and wrapped them both inside it.
Under the nket, their bodies pressed closely against each other, leaving no gaps between them.
Mu Xiaoxiao then clearly felt a reaction arising from a part of him as it pressed itself against her thigh. The next second, he grabbed her little hand and led it down to cover that burning part of him.
Her eyes closed in fright. She instinctively attempted to withdraw her hand, but he bullishly clutched her hand tightly. He even bit her earlobe and said in a demonic voice, ¡°You dare to run?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused in her movement. Her mouth ttened, and she opened her eyes, meeting his dark eyes. Those eyes that wanted to swallow her whole seemed like he could just take advantage of the situation and devour her right then. However, there was also forbearance in those eyes, that even though he was so deeply maddened, he still gave thought to her feelings.
Her nose felt tingly, and her heart softened as she stared at him quietly, and she went up to kiss him on his thin lips. It meant that she would stop running. Then she allowed him to lead her little hand as it went beneath the fabric.
This was too shameful for Mu Xiaoxiao. She had never experienced it before and never dared to do it. When he forced her to do itst time, she froze like a puppet, allowing him to move her hands. But this time, she took the initiative instead just so she could please him.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s breathing was heavy and erratic, his eyes were filled with pleasant surprise, and once again he took her little mouth into his.
Covered by the nket, they appeared sweet outside, but underneath the nket¡ passions went wild.
After some time.
Relieved, Yin Shaojie wrapped her in his arms, affectionately kissing her cheek, and lingered at her fair neck, forgetting himself.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to do it again. Her hand was already sore and tired.
She nudged him. ¡°You¡¯re done venting, right¡¡±
¡°Two more times would be even better.¡± Someone was still demanding for a foot after being given an inch. How rare it was to see her taking the initiative. It had only made him more eager. Just thinking about when they would finally take it to thest step and if she could continue to be so proactive and lovely in her reactions, that would be¡
No more thinking about that. Yin Shaojie stopped the imagesing into his mind lest his beastly nature unleashed itself on her right then.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. ¡°Hey, that¡¯s going too far!¡±
He didn¡¯t seem that angry anymore with that relieved look of his. He should be vented now, right?
Sigh, men¡
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head disapprovingly in her mind. Sure enough, men were really driven by their lower parts.
Yin Shaojie touched her hair with his fingers. Lookingnguid and sexy, his voice was deep and beguiling as he said, ¡°Continue with your exnation then. Are you still hiding any other asions when you hung out with him alone?¡±

¡°That was all! Think about it, I¡¯m around you every day. How much time do I have to look for him.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao sulkily puffed up her cheeks. ¡°It¡¯s all that person¡¯s fault. Does he not know the meaning of privacy, taking videos of others and uploading it online? Outrageous.¡±
Then she noticed his hand, feeling its way to her lips, and he bent his head to give her a peck.
¡°Okay, stop kissing already.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao blushed and pped his hand away. Then she was reminded that she was still in his arms, covered by a nket that was hiding a lewd smell, and her face burned up again.
¡°I¡¯m going to¡ wash my hands.¡±
She quickly jumped out of bed and ran out as though she was escaping from something.
¡°Wait.¡± Yin Shaojie quickly grabbed her lest she run out and be seen by others. Anyone experienced in this could surely tell they have been doing ¡°it¡± in the room.
He adjusted his clothes and took her to the sofa.
Fortunately, there were wet tissues on the table. He took some and wiped her little hands clean.
Staring at his handsome face, she was reminded of what they had just done. Her hand was stained with his fluids¡
Not wanting to look at him, she closed her eyes, embarrassed, and allowed him to wipe her clean.
¡°It¡¯s done,¡± he said.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly stood up, ran to the bed, and picked up the cell phone she dropped on the floor.
The bed, the nket and the bedsheets were in a mess, again reminding her of what they had been doing earlier.
She murmured, ¡°How am I gonna sleep tonight?¡±
Most importantly, this must not be seen by people in the Yin residence, or they would definitely know what they had done.
Yin Shaojie walked over to her, put his arms around her shoulder, and said, ¡°You don¡¯t have a cold anymore. Sleep at my ce tonight then.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She had the feeling that he wasn¡¯t that well-intentioned. He must have an ulterior motive!
¡°No need. Actually, I¡¯m notpletely recovered yet. I¡¯m still a little sick,¡± she quickly found herself an excuse.
Yin Shaojie turned her around, and the two faced each other. Smiling, he squinted at her and said, ¡°We have already mixed together like water and milk just now. If I was going to catch a cold from you, I would have already caught it. Why even worry about sleeping together?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
It seemed to make a lot of sense. She had no way to refute him.
She picked up the cell phone and saw the video that Qiqing sent to her. Then she deleted it.
¡°Why did you delete it? Aren¡¯t you going to keep it as a memento?¡± Yin Shaojie said sourly.
Mu Xiaoxiao shot a look at him. ¡°I told you Lu Yichen and I are just friends. I also feel awkward seeing this video, alright? Sigh, although Qiqing has made the creator of that video delete his post, manymercial ounts and websites have already been spreading it around. It¡¯s impossible to delete them all.¡±
With that said, she opened up Weibo to check. On her front page, there were many people sharing this video, and the number of shares were in the thousands.
She grumbled, ¡°What should we do? Is there any way to remove them all?¡±
¡°Yes,¡± Someone said in her ear as his arms wrapped around her waist.
Amazed, Mu Xiaoxiao looked to him and asked, ¡°There is? You have a way?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not too widely spread now. So it¡¯s not impossible to delete them all,¡± Yin Shaojie said logically. He didn¡¯t seem like he was joking.
¡°Can it really be done?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said as she turned around and clutched his arm.
¡°It is theoretically possible,¡± Yin Shaojie nodded and said.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t quite understand. ¡°Theoretically? What does that mean? In any case, it just means that it can be deleted, right? So how do we go about doing it?¡±

Yin Shaojie released her hand and said, ¡°It¡¯s almost time for food. You should go change and go down and eat. I¡¯ll be making a call first.¡±
¡°Why should I change?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. At his words, she felt her stomach rumble.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s gazended on her clothes. ¡°Are you sure you don¡¯t want to change?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked down. There was a moistness on her shorts and it was his¡
Her face reddened instantly and she reached out to hit him. ¡°It¡¯s your fault! You still dare to mention it!¡±
¡°Being aggressive towards me again? Where has the pleasing attitude gone to?¡± Yin Shaojie caught her wrist and said, raising his eyebrows.
¡°Since when was anyone trying to please you? It wasn¡¯t me!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stuck her tongue out at him and denied the facts.
She pushed him away. ¡°I¡¯m going to change. Hurry up and make your call!¡±
She then ran into the cloakroom as though she were trying to escape.
Yin Shaojie looked down andughed. He then took his phone out and made a call, walking to the balcony as he did so.
After a short while, Mu Xiaoxiao came out, outfitted in a new set of clothes.
Just then, a helper knocked on the door.
¡°Miss Mu, would you like to have lunch now?¡±
Yin Shaojie had already finished his call and he walked over to her side. He said to the person outside, ¡°Yes, and I¡¯m having lunch as well.¡±
¡°The Young Master is back? Alright, I will tell the kitchen to begin preparations.¡±
Yin Shaojie swept a nce at the bed and said to the helper, ¡°Wait, get someone up here to tidy the room.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
After the helper replied, he left swiftly.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared as she thought of something. She looked at the messy nkets and bedsheets on the bed anxiously and said, ¡°W-What about this?¡±
Yin Shaojie said nonchntly, ¡°Just let them take care of it. It¡¯s not a big deal.¡±
How was this not a big deal!
She wasn¡¯t as thick-skinned as him.
¡°No way, what if they find out what happened? Hurry up and think of something, quick!¡±
They had to destroy the evidence, but they couldn¡¯t just hide the bedsheets and nkets.
Oh yeah!
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes lit up as she thought of a good idea.
She hurriedly pulled off the bedsheets and nkets. Bunching them up together into a bundle, she threw them onto the floor before jumping up onto the bed and stepping on it with her slippers on.
Step! Step! Step!
Just then, the door to the room opened. The helper who was about toe in saw her actions and was stunned.
What kind of situation was this?!
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little tired from her activity and was panting. She said to the helper, ¡°These nkets and bedsheets are dirty. We don¡¯t want them anymore, so help us change them.¡±
¡°¡ Alright,¡± the helper replied and turned around to get new ones.
Mu Xiaoxiao carried the bundle and walked out of the room.
Yin Shaojie followed behind, his handsome face smiling uncontrobly.
Mu Xiaoxiao walked outside and threw the bundle into the rubbish bin. Thus relieved, she dusted her hands. ¡°It¡¯s done!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s hurry up and go eat some food,¡± Yin Shaojie said as he held her hand and walked into the house.
There were already dishes prepared for them in the dining room.
The pair sat down and started to eat.
In the meantime, Yin Shaojie answered a few calls in a way that Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t understand.
After the meal, Yin Shaojie put his chopsticks down before telling her, ¡°The video¡¯s almost fully wiped out.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. ¡°That fast?¡±
She had only eaten a single meal!
Yin Shaojie looked at her. ¡°How many people do you want to see the video?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head hurriedly, ¡°I don¡¯t want anyone to! How did you do it? Shijun said that it was hard.¡±
He didn¡¯t deny the difficulty as he said, ¡°It is hard but it wasn¡¯t at a level where it was impossible to do it.¡±

There weren¡¯t any things that he couldn¡¯t aplish, only things that he didn¡¯t want to aplish.
¡°Is there really nothing left? It¡¯s gone from the entire web?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao still couldn¡¯t believe it and took out her phone hurriedly and entered Weibo.
There were many people sharing the video on the home page previously, and now there were none.
She thought for a while and did a search. She didn¡¯t find any rted results on Weibo as well.
¡°It¡¯s really gone!¡± She widened her eyes in surprise and looked at him.
Just then, Han Qiqing sent an excited WeChat over. ¡°Xiaoxiao, the video¡¯s been deleted off the whole web, and there are no websites hosting it anymore! Did Yin Shaojie intervene?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao sent a smiley face to her and replied, ¡°Yes~¡±.
Han Qiqing sent a thumb back. ¡°That¡¯s the Great Master Yin for you. He¡¯s freaking awesome!¡±
¡°Has it really been deleted off every website?¡±
¡°Yeah, I saw them on many websites earlier. Once I saw that there were none on Weibo, I did a search on other websites and it was gone. You can¡¯t even search it up on Baidu anymore.¡±
¡°That¡¯s awesome!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao felt relieved then.
She put down her phone and asked Yin Shaojie curiously, ¡°How did you do it?¡±
It had only been a short half-hour!¡±
Yin Shaojie stood up. Holding her hand, he walked upstairs. ¡°It¡¯s not done yet.¡±
¡°Ah? Wasn¡¯t it all deleted already?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled and followed him obediently.
The websites in China have already taken it down, but it¡¯s difficult for it not to have been uploaded to international sites.¡± Before that could happen, they must destroy the evidence at its source.¡±
¡°It¡¯s been circted to international sites? It can¡¯t be that ridiculous, can it?¡±
Yin Shaojie shot a look at her. ¡°What do you think?¡±
The web was very advanced now. If anyone found anything interesting online, it could be spread very easily.
He pulled her into the study and sat her on the sofa.
¡°You¡¯re not allowed to go anywhere and you¡¯re to stay here and apany me,¡± he ordered as he looked down at her while resting his arms on both sides of the sofa.
¡°Can¡¯t I go over there to see what you¡¯re doing?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pointed towards theputer.
¡°No, you won¡¯t understand it anyway. Just sit here.¡±
Yin Shaojie said as he pinched her nose before walking over to theputer and sitting down.
After a few minutes, the keyboard clicked away furiously as though they were piano keys.
Mu Xiaoxiao cupped her chin with a hand as she looked at his dancing fingers, feeling a little shocked.
Wasn¡¯t his typing speed a little too fast?
¡
In a certain condominium.
A person opened the door and walked in.
The space here was huge and the decor was weird. Upon walking through the door, one was greeted by ornaments in strange shapes, and stepping in further revealed a mural painted in the style of Picasso.
After passing through a vestibule and a hallway, one could see a hollowed-out spiral staircase going upwards. This was a duplex condominium.
¡°Young Master Feng,¡± the manager greeted respectfully as he walked over and stood by the side of the sofa.
Feng Shengyang looked like a prodigal son as he sat there and held a beer in his long, slender fingers. Picking up a phone from the coffee table, he threw it at him.
The manager caught it fumblingly. Even though he had been long used to his unpredictable ways, he was still unable to react to it in time asionally.
¡°What is this, Young Master Feng?¡±
¡°Take a look at this video,¡± Feng Shengyang said.
The manager opened the video and watched it. Itsted only a few minutes, and he was soon done with it.
Before he could open his mouth to ask, Feng Shengyang smirked as he said, ¡°Shoot the MV for this round¡¯s title track like this. Also, I¡¯m nning to have this girl be the female lead of the MV.¡±
Astonishingly, the video on the phone was the one taken of Mu Xiaoxiao and Lu Yichen.

¡°This¡¡± The manager was stuck between a rock and a hard ce. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t a meeting be held at thepany first since the MV for the title track is an important matter? The director has also said that he had some ideas¡¡±
Because of Feng Shengyang¡¯s superstar fame, the female lead who was to be featured in his MV would shoot to fame overnight. Thepany was thus choosing one of its own female artistes carefully for this chance.
Because of this, there were more than a few managers who tried to cozy up to him, trying to snatch the position of the MV¡¯s female lead by all means possible.
But now, Feng Shengyang was actually trying to give away such a coveted position so flippantly to a high-school girl?
This was outrageous!
Even if him, as the manager, could not call the shots, thepany would never allow this to happen.
However¡
Feng Shengyang only narrowed the corner of his eyes and said haughtily, ¡°I¡¯ll call the shots for my own MV and I don¡¯t have to call for a meeting with anyone. Also, I¡¯m not soliciting for your opinion right now, got it?¡±
The manager¡¯s face froze. Even though he was his manager, he was merely a subordinate in Feng Shengyang¡¯s eyes.
¡°Yes.¡± He nodded hurriedly and didn¡¯t dare to continue on the topic.
Feng Shengyang rest his legs on the coffee table. After thinking for a while, he said, ¡°Before that, arrange a fan meet-up for me first. Make it happen in Shangde High during the next two days.¡±
¡°Yes¡¡± The manager wanted to reply before he suddenly remembered something. He looked at him worriedly and said, ¡°Young Master Feng, you¡¯re supposed to fly to Paris to shoot an ambassadorial advertisement. It¡¯s going to take at least a week, and you won¡¯t be able toe back in two days. How about postponing the fan meeting to after the shooting?¡±
¡°Cancel it,¡± Feng Shengyang said bluntly, his tone as though he was only discussing how nice the weather was.
¡°Ah? Cancel it? Cancel what?¡± The manager couldn¡¯t react in time.
Feng Shengyang shot a look at him and frowned unhappily. ¡°If you can¡¯t keep up with my thought processes, don¡¯t understand my words, and have to ask after every single thing I say, I should start considering another man for your job.¡±
The manager panicked in an instant and his forehead beaded in cold sweat. ¡°No, no, it wasn¡¯t that I didn¡¯t understand; I only wanted to confirm¡ so you¡¯re saying to cancel the ambassadorship? But this is an ambassadorship for France¡¯s luxury brand! It can¡¯t be canceled. The contract has already been signed¡¡±
¡°Just break the contract if it can¡¯t be canceled.¡± Feng Shengyang shrugged nonchntly.
The manager froze. This was France¡¯s luxury brand, and it was a major ambassadorship. There were many stars who dreamed of this ambassadorship, but it was something that could be flippantly rejected in Feng Shengyang¡¯s eyes.
Feng Shengyang said, ¡°Also, clear my schedule for the near future and don¡¯t ept any new jobs. Just concentrate on shooting this time¡¯s MV.¡±
When thest words came out of his mouth, he seemed to think of something and his lips quirked interestedly.
¡°About the interview scheduled in the afternoon¡¡± the manager said hesitantly.
¡°Cancel it too.¡± Feng Shengyang looked away from him and got rid of him unceremoniously. ¡°Alright, you can leave now.¡±
The manager smiled bitterly. He had taken care of may artistes, but there was none that was as self-important as Feng Shengyang. However, what could he do? He had the right to be self-important.
In order to do whatever he wanted, Feng Shengyang bought more than half of thepany¡¯s shares. That meant that as thepany¡¯s currentrgest shareholder, he could do whatever he wanted and no one had the right to control him.

Also, he was just a mere manager.
Feng Shengyang could fire him if he was displeased and get a superior manager if he wanted.
¡°Young Master Feng, I¡¯ll cancel all of your appointments these few days then. I¡¯ll be leaving now,¡± the manager said. He bowed to Feng Shengyang before walking out.
After the manager left, Feng Shengyang then took his phone and made a call.
¡°Linlin, did you miss me?¡±
Su Linughed softly. In a charming voice, she asked, ¡°What about you? Did you miss me?¡±
¡°Yes,¡± Feng Shengyang said fondly, but there wasn¡¯t much change in his expression, merely looking at the sunlight outside the window mildly.
¡°How much did you miss me?¡±
¡°I¡¯m thinking of you so much that I can¡¯t even fall asleep. How much do you think I miss you?¡±
Su Lin was obviously pleased by this and her smile became sweeter than before. ¡°Since you miss me so much, why don¡¯t youe visit? I¡¯ve been so bored at the hospital alone with no one to talk to.¡±
¡°I¡¯m very busy. I¡¯ll go visit you when I¡¯m free. Are you not discharging soon?¡± Feng Shengyang asked casually. Su Lin¡¯s injuries weren¡¯t actually as serious as the doctor had said, but she had bribed the doctor so that she could use her injuries to win others¡¯ confidence.
However, her scheme had evidently failed. Yin Shaojie had shown nopassion towards her and had not gone to the hospital to visit her frequently, making her stay in the hospital meaningless.
Also, with Su Lin¡¯s personality, she couldn¡¯t stand being in the hospital and was probably aching to go home for a while now.
Upon him mentioning her discharge, Su Lin grumbled, ¡°I hate staying in the hospital. I¡¯ve wanted to go home for a long while, but I still can¡¯t, for now¡¡±
Can¡¯t for now?
Feng Shengyang could tell that she was probably nning something, and thus didn¡¯t ask any further.
Heughed and said, ¡°I¡¯ve got an idea on how to get close to Mu Xiaoxiao already. Do you want to know what it is?¡±
Su Lin was a little surprised. ¡°That¡¯s fast. Hurry up and get closer to her then. It¡¯s just nice that I¡¯ve got ns too and once they¡¯re both in motion I don¡¯t believe that they won¡¯te into conflict.¡±
¡°I really like how you sound when you¡¯re scheming something.¡± Feng Shengyang lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth. In a sexy voice, he said, ¡°I can only imagine that you must look very, very beautiful right now.¡±
Su Lin was pleased by his words and her mood was now extraordinarily good. She turned up the charm in her voice a few notches and said, ¡°Are youing over tonight then? Can you eat dinner with me? I suddenly miss you a lot and really want to see you.¡±
To any girl, it was a delightful thing to have someone who liked her and pleased her.
Feng Shengyang said apologetically, ¡°I might not be able to. There¡¯s an interview I¡¯ve got to do in the afternoon and I may be busy untilte at night. How about tomorrow? I¡¯ll bring you a bramble and ask you for forgiveness tomorrow, how about that?¡±
Su Lin seemed a little sorry and sounded unhappy, ¡°Okay then¡ Oh yeah, didn¡¯t you say that you have an idea to get close to Mu Xiaoxiao? Tell me about it. I can give you some advice too.¡±
After all, she had known Mu Xiaoxiao for many years. Even though they had not interacted for four years, it didn¡¯t hinder her from being able to understand Mu Xiaoxiao.¡±
Feng Shengyang blew a puff of smoke out before summarizing his n to her.
After Su Lin finished listening, she said, surprised,¡±You want her to be the female lead of your MV?¡±
Her tone was obviously dripping with jealousy.
Feng Shengyang was currently the most popr superstar in China, and his poprity even extended overseas, gaining him much influence.

If Mu Xiaoxiao were to y the female lead for his MV, wouldn¡¯t Mu Xiaoxiao get the chance to be famous?
At the thought of this, Su Lin couldn¡¯t restrain herself as she said to Feng Shengyang unhappily, ¡°Don¡¯t do that. Do you have to go that far? You could just¡e up with some excuse, like going to Shangde to shoot an MV to find an opportunity to approach her. Why does she need to be the female lead!¡±
She couldn¡¯t help but mutter to herself, ¡°Might as well choose me.¡±
Feng Shengyang chuckled, ¡°It¡¯s just a thought. It¡¯s not a definite must to make her the female lead. But won¡¯t it be good if she could take the bait using this method and have more time to spend with me?¡±
Su Lin snorted. ¡°It¡¯s not a bad idea. But you miscalcted something.¡±
¡°Oh? Where did I miscalcte?¡±
Su Lin said, ¡°Maybe, you think that girls won¡¯t be able to resist the temptation of vanity, but have you forgotten? Why is the Mu family called the legendary Mu family? It¡¯s because they are very low-profiled. They don¡¯t like to disy themselves ostentatiously. Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s personality is very much like that. So it¡¯s unlikely that she would take the bait as the female lead for your MV.¡±
Feng Shengyang held the cigarette as he puffed out smoke, his handsome face looking evil behind the smoke.
¡°How will we know if we don¡¯t try?¡±
The harder the challenge, the more interesting it was for him.
Seeing that he wasn¡¯t heeding her words, Su Lin said with a slight frustration in her tone, ¡°Whatever you want then! Don¡¯te looking for me when you get rejected and lose face.¡±
¡°Linlin baby, don¡¯t you believe in my charm? It makes me very sad. Okay, baby, don¡¯t be angry. What do you want to eat at night? I¡¯ll get someone to buy it for you, okay?¡±
Su Lin curled her lips and grumbled, ¡°You¡¯re not going to apany me. What¡¯s the point if I¡¯m going to be eating alone? Can¡¯t you finish your things earlier? Even if it¡¯ster in the night, you can still apany me to have supper. Come on. You said that you miss me, right? Don¡¯t you want to see me?¡±
¡°Of course, why won¡¯t I? Okay, I¡¯ll try to finish up as soon as I can, but don¡¯t wait for me, alright?¡±
The two talked for a while more before hanging up.
In the ward.
Su Lin was lost in thought for quite a while as she held her phone.
When she snapped out of it, she realized that she had been thinking about Feng Shengyang.
She couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly. She had to admit that Feng Shengyang was too good with girls. She had clearly guarded herself but he still led her by the nose.
Now, she really wanted to see him badly¡
With his skill in flirting with girls, handling the naive Mu Xiaoxiao shoulde with no difficulty, right?
As she thought unpleasant thoughts came to her strangely.
She didn¡¯t want Feng Shengyang to use his ways of pleasing her on Mu Xiaoxiao.
Just the thought of it was upsetting.
¡ª¡ª¡ª
In the luxury condominium.
Mo Xiaomeng held a bunny pillow in her hands, her face looking worried. ¡°So Xiaoxiao was ill. She hasn¡¯te back yet. I have been waiting for her toe back sincest night to go to have supper with her. Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier?¡±
Ye Sijue poured a ss of water, walked over to the sofa, sat down, and handed the water to her.
Mo Xiaomeng took it and held it in the palm of her hand. The water was slightly hot.
The temperature was just right, not too hot.
They just came back from outside. It was quite windy today so her hand was a little chilly. Unexpectedly, he noticed it and poured a cup of hot water to warm her hands.

¡°You¡¯re not a doctor. There is no point in telling you. Would you be able to treat her?¡± Ye Sijueughed.
Snatching the pillow from her hands, he pulled her over to him and let her lean on his chest.
Bashful, Mo Xiaomeng was unable to free herself from him. Toozy to break free, she went along and leaned on him.
It was prettyfortable anyways.
Living with him for the past few days, she was almost used to his quiet bossiness.
¡°Is she very sick? Which hospital is she at? Take me there.¡± Mo Xiaomeng sat up, looked to him, and shook his hand in a pleading manner.
¡°She just had a bad cold. It¡¯s not a big deal. She didn¡¯t need to be hospitalized. But Shaojie was worried that she would have no one to take care of her so he took her back to the Yin residence.
Ye Sijue exined while ying with her soft little hands.
Her fingers were like scallions, slender and white, and the bones were small. They werevery cute.
They were very clean and pretty little hands. One could tell that she lived a pampered lifestyle and was brought up like a princess.
However, what Ye Sijue didn¡¯t expect was that the girl in his arms was an actual little princess.
¡°Yin residence¡ Isn¡¯t that Yin Shaojie¡¯s home? Is it inconvenient to go there? What should we do? I want to see Xiaoxiao. She is sick and must be feeling awful.¡± Mo Xiaomeng could empathize with the dread of being sick, so she felt concerned for Xiaoxiao.
¡°It¡¯s not inconvenient. Do you really want to go?¡± He looked into her eyes.
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s little head nodded, and she said seriously, ¡°Yes!¡±
Although she wasn¡¯t very good with dealing with the elders, she wanted to give Xiaoxiao some support as she thought about how bad she must be feeling now.
Moreover¡
Mo Xiaomeng looked down.
She might have to leave soon, so she wanted to spend more time with Xiaoxiao.
From the looks of the situation now, Xiaoxiao shouldn¡¯t be returning to the States anytime soon so she wouldn¡¯t be able to see Xiaoxiao for a long time.
The thought of this made her sad.
Most of all¡
Mo Xiaomeng suddenly straightened herself, went forward, and threw herself into Ye Sijue¡¯s arms, hugging him tightly.
She wouldn¡¯t be able to see Ye Sijue anymore after going away, right?
The thought of this also made her sad.
¡°Ye Sijue, thank you for taking me around for these few days. I had a lot of fun. I like China even more now.¡± She said sentimentally as she thought about him working busily in the study at night.
In order to apany her, he put down his work and then stayed upte at night to catch up on it.
It must have been tough on him.
Mo Xiaomeng looked up, her little hands holding his charming face, her dark blue eyes seemed like it was carving every bit of him into her memory so that when she went back to America, she wouldn¡¯t forget him.
She looked at his eyes empathetically. ¡°You look like you have dark circles.¡±
With that said, the little mouth went up and kissed him on his eye.
Just as she was about to withdraw herself, he suddenly grabbed her wrist, and pulled her in a single motion into his embrace. Turning around, he pinned her against the sofa backrest.
Following that, his hot lips pressed against her little mouth, taking her tender lips into his as if he was going to swallow her.
His kiss was always so fierce as if he was going to eat her up.
¡°Ungh¡ Ye Sijue. Be gentler¡¡± Mo Xiaomeng couldn¡¯t help but push his chest to make him ease up a little.

Ye Sijue chuckled softly, deliberately preventing her from protesting.
Mo Xiaomeng blushed, tugging at his clothes, she beat her fist on her shoulder.
But he was so tall and she was so petite. Inparison, her little fist should hurt even less than an ant, right?
He was totally unperturbed.
¡°You¡¡± Blushing, she pushed him a few times hurriedly. ¡°Not so much, okay? You¡¯re always like this¡¡±
Was this his motive in telling her that they were going to visit Xiaoxiao?
Ye Sijue looked up and stared at her little face in a devilish, uninhibited gaze. His manly scent surrounded her, intoxicating her like a rich wine.
Mo Xiaomeng was almost tipsy from the gaze directed at her. She was absorbed into it.
His said in a husky, deep voice, ¡°Is this too much? Then what¡¯s not too much?¡±
He deliberately lowered his voice as though he were bewitching her.
Given Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s status, she had seen many kinds of handsome guys, but she had never known a man as charming as him.
Her heart beat seemed to havee to a crawl.
¡°Too much! You are always too much! Alright, stop ying already.¡± Mo Xiaomeng was blushing with shame. Her bright, watery eyes red at him, but she didn¡¯t seem scary at all. In fact, she seemed even cuter.
Ye Sijue¡¯s gaze deepened.
He didn¡¯t understand it himself. He had clearly only met this little thing for a short while, but looking at her gave him a swelling feeling in his heart, a feeling that was hard to describe.
It was strange.
He suddenly remembered Song Shijun¡¯s teasing, saying that perhaps he and Mo Xiaomeng were destined to be soulmates? Otherwise, how could sparks fly so soon?
Probably so?
Actually, Ye Sijue was not one who believed in fate. He believed that man could conquer nature and people controlled their fates.
But this time, he was moved. And he couldn¡¯t even oppose it, so he had no choice but toe to terms with it.
Gazing at her intensely, Ye Sijue suddenly let go of her, got off the sofa, and went to the washroom.
Mo Xiaomeng watched him and worried that he might have gotten angry.
She pondered for a moment before quickly chasing him.
However, the door was closed in front of her.
Mo Xiaomeng tapped on the door and asked bluntly, ¡°Ye Sijue, are you angry?¡±
¡°No.¡± His voice came out in a deep voice. ¡°I¡¯m going to take a shower and take you to Yin residenceter. You can go and change your clothes.¡±
It seemed that there wasn¡¯t anything wrong with his voice. He didn¡¯t seem angry.
She was then relieved, ¡°Oh, I¡¯ll change my clothes then.¡±
She scurried back to the room. Thinking that she might be meeting elders at the Yin residence, she picked respectable-lookingdy¡¯s clothes.
Just when she was done changing her clothes, he came out after a shower. He walked into the room, wrapped only in a bath towel.
The man, just showered, exuded a strong manly air from every part of him.
Mo Xiaomeng felt for a moment she was absorbed by it.
¡°Why haven¡¯t you worn your shoes?¡± Ye Sijue frowned, walked over to her, took her to the bed, and let her sit down.
¡°Wait for me here.¡±
With that said, he went out.
Mo Xiaomeng just stared stupidly at his back. His broad back felt very reliable. It made one want to lean onto it.
She suddenly remembered back when they were at the autumn outing at the resort, Xiaoxiao also had Yin Shaojie carry her several times.
Chapter 786 - Imagination Going Wild (2)

Xiaoxiao liked to put her face Yin Shaojie¡¯s back.
At that time, she only thought it to be a warm and loving scene.
But now, she felt like doing what Xiaoxiao did, to let Ye Sijue carry her on his back. She also wanted to put her face on his back just like Xiaoxiao.
After a while, Ye Sijue came back with her indoor slippers in his hand.
He walked up to her, squatted down and helped her put the slippers on.
From this point of view, Mo Xiaomeng could just faintly see inside of the bath towel, something rod-shaped at his thighs¡
Her face burned hot, realizing which part of him she had just seen and she quickly turned her gaze away when he wasn¡¯t looking.
Luckily, she didn¡¯t see it clearly!
After putting on her slippers, he took her little hand and got her down from the bed.
¡°You changed your clothes?¡± He looked at her outfit up and down and nodded as though he was very pleased with it.
Mo Xiaomeng suddenly had the feeling that they seemed like husband and wife¡
¡°Yeah. Is this outfit okay?¡± She was a little ufortable and wanted to shift the subject.
However, why did this topic also seem like something that came up between couples?
Ye Sijue nodded. ¡°It¡¯s very nice.¡±
He took her little hand as they walked to the cloakroom. ¡°Come and help me pick one. See which one I should wear.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng was stunned. Why did this topic still seem like something for a couple?
¡°I don¡¯t know how to choose. Choose it yourself.¡±
Ye Sijue opened the closet, took out a shirt and asked her, ¡°How¡¯s this?¡±
¡°It¡¯s nice,¡± she said casually.
Ye Sijue nced at her dress, his eyes containing his amusement. ¡°This one then.¡±
With that said, he released her hand and immediately changed right in front of her.
His strong arm stretched out and in a smooth motion, he put on the shirt.
Mo Xiaomeng stared nkly for a moment. She felt that the way he wore his shirt was very dashing. Her heart skipped a beat.
¡°I¡¯ll just wear these pants then.¡± Ye Sijue took out another piece of clothing from the closet.
Recovering her senses, Mo Xiaomeng anxiously retreated a couple of steps, stuttering as she said, ¡°G-go and change then! I¡¯ll go out first!¡±
Then she escaped.
She was afraid that he would just take off the towel covering his lower body and change into the pants right in front of her.
That scene was just too¡
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s face was red and steam was almost blowing from her crown. She fanned herself with her hands in desperation to relieve the heat from her face.
She nced to the washroom and went in quickly to wash her face.
After a few minutes, Ye Sijue had changed his clothes and came out.
¡°Are we going now?¡± she asked, sitting on the sofa feeling a little ill at ease. Her gaze unconsciously fell upon his trousers, and her mind was filled with the thought of him putting on her slippers for her and her imagination of him taking off his towel and wearing the pants in front of her¡
Stop thinking! Stop thinking!
Mo Xiaomeng puffed up her cheeks and breathed out.
She felt that she was too odd. She clearly wouldn¡¯t think about these things in the past. Why was she thinking about these things now?
In America, people were open about sex. When she was in middle school, many of her female ssmates already had boyfriends and lost their virginities. Some of them, though without boyfriends, still had a sexual rtionship with many boys.
Her ssmates often made dirty jokes, and sometimes when Mo Xiaomeng didn¡¯t understand them, she became the joke instead.
But even when she understood them, she wasn¡¯t very interested in these things.
Oh yeah, when she yed at the beach, she also saw lots of boys baring their upper bodies. They were in very good shape, but why didn¡¯t her imagination run wild like now?

Just when her imagination was running wild, a pair of long legs came into her view.
¡°Why is your face so red? Are you having a fever?¡± A big, warm hand covered her forehead.
Mo Xiaomeng looked up, meeting Ye Sijue¡¯s alluring blue eyes. They were even more beautiful than the world¡¯s most expensive sapphire.
She clearly heard the sound of her heart beating.
Ba-dub. Ba-dub. It was beating very fast.
Ye Sijue looked at her, frowning with worry. ¡°You seem a little feverish. Are you okay?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng snapped out of her nk stare, pulled down his hand and shook her head, saying, ¡°No, I don¡¯t feel unwell. Maybe it¡¯s¡¡±
With that said, she patted her cheeks with both hands, and then smiled at him.
¡°Heat from friction.¡±
Was this kind of lie enough to fool him? Ye Sijue scrutinized her with rapt attention as if to see if she was really feeling unwell.
However, she seemed to be glowing with vigor. It didn¡¯t look like she was unwell.
He asked, ¡°Do you still want to go, then? Do you want to go see the doctor first?¡±
¡°Of course, I¡¯m going!¡± Mo Xiaomeng jumped up from the sofa, afraid that he would change his mind. She quickly went out, changed into her shoes, and rushed him, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go.¡±
Ye Sijue pondered for a moment. ¡°Let¡¯s go then. We¡¯ll have dinner there.¡±
¡°Great!¡± She also wanted to have dinner with Xiaoxiao.
Leaving the apartment.
Mo Xiaomeng was just about to go and call for the elevator when Ye Sijue took her little hand.
With his cell phone in one hand, his other hand naturally held hers as they went to the elevator.
Mo Xiaomeng looked down at their hands. A warm feeling came over her.
Upon reaching the door of the elevator, he pressed the button to call for the elevator.
The call on his phone also connected.
¡°Xiaomeng and I are going over to your ce to visit Xiaoxiao¡ Is the family doctor there? Can you get him? Xiaomeng may be feeling a little unwell. Have him take a look. Alright, that¡¯s all. We¡¯ll talk moreter.¡±
He hung up the phone after exchanging a few words.
The elevator also just arrived. He led her in and pressed the button to go to the underground parking lot.
Mo Xiaomeng looked at him dumbly.
He¡ Did he just call Yin Shaojie, to have their family doctor check up on her?
Noticed her expression, Ye Sijue stared at her, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±
¡°You¡ I¡¯m really not sick,¡± Mo Xiaomeng exined, but she couldn¡¯t just say that she was only blushing.
¡°If there¡¯s nothing wrong, it won¡¯t hurt to have the doctor take a look, right? Plus, weren¡¯t you coughing yesterday?¡± He said, looking at her in a deep gaze. His kingly air made it hard for anyone to refuse him.
Mo Xiaomeng paused. She only coughed two timesst night. He even noticed that?
¡°Yeah, okay.¡±
He wasn¡¯t wrong.
It was just letting the doctor check up on her. It would be best if there was nothing wrong with her, but if she was sick then it would also be good to treat her quickly.
They soon arrived at the Yin residence.
Originally, Mo Xiaomeng was a little uneasy because she was afraid to meet the elders, however, Mama Yin had a date with her sister, and she went out. Mo Xiaomeng was relieved.
Hearing that Mo Xiaomeng was here, Mu Xiaoxiao quickly scurried downstairs.
¡°Xiaomeng!¡± Mo Xiaoxiao happily ran and hugged her.
Mo Xiaomengughed, ¡°You look good. Are you recovered already?¡±
Just when Mu Xiaoxiao was going to say that she had already recovered, she was reminded of howfortable she had beenzing around at home recently. She still wanted to ck off for a few days, so she changed her tune and said, ¡°It¡¯s a lot better, but I¡¯m still not fully recovered.¡±
Chapter 788 - Hurry up and Let Him Eat You Already (2)
Chapter 788: Hurry up and Let Him Eat You Already (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Then, a helper brought someone in and bowed to her, saying, ¡°Miss Mu, the doctor is here.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao became gloomy the moment she saw the doctor, her face wrinkled as she said, ¡°I¡¯m almost recovered. I don¡¯t need the doctor, right? I don¡¯t want to take another injection¡¡±
She didn¡¯t want to go on the drip any more. Moreover, she was taking medicine every day, so much that her mouth tasted like medicine. Everything she ate tasted bad, and even her favorite strawberry milk had a different taste.
Ye Sijue said, ¡°I asked Shaojie to call doctor and check up on Xiaomeng¡±
¡°Xiaomeng, are you sick?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Xiaomeng worriedly.
Xiaomeng shook her head and said fretfully, ¡°No, it¡¯s just a little cough. He just wanted to have a doctor check on me. I don¡¯t really need to see a doctor.¡±
She also didn¡¯t like seeing doctors.
¡°You should. If you are feeling unwell of course you should see the doctor. You don¡¯t want it to get serious.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao also joined in to persuade her when she was clearly refusing to see the doctor a moment ago.
Mo Xiaomeng was always very trusting towards her so she obediently sat down on the sofa and had the doctor examine her.
After a while when the doctor was done examining, the doctor looked hesitantly to Ye Sijue and Mu Xiaoxiao, as if he didn¡¯t know who he should be reporting to.
Ye Sijue said mildly, ¡°How is her situation?¡±
The doctor then replied, ¡°The throat is a little sore. She¡¯s probably suffering from excessive internal heat. But it¡¯s not that serious for now. She just has to take some medicine to treat the heat. If it gets serious, inmmation may ur.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao hugged Mo Xiaomeng, looking distressed. ¡°How did you get so hot? See, that¡¯s why you should see the doctor.¡±
Hearing what the doctor said, Mo Xiaomeng felt her throat itchy, and she couldn¡¯t help but coughed.
Ye Sijue frowned slightly, looked at her, and said to the doctor, ¡°Prescribe some medicine then.¡±
The doctor nodded at Ye Sijue, and he then went to the medicine box to take out the medicine.
Mu Xiaoxiao gestured to the helpers to serve some water. She patted on Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s back, and said sadly, ¡°I was thinking of doing a barbecue tonight since you are here, but now let¡¯s forget it.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng took her hand and shook her head, saying, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. Let¡¯s barbecue then. It¡¯s only a little cough. I¡¯m not feeling too unwell. At most¡ I¡¯ll eat something else.¡±
Ye Sijue squinted at Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°Barbecue? You just got better, and now you want to have a barbecue? Did Shaojie allow you to do this?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao snorted and said, ¡°Who cares if he allows or not! Can¡¯t I eat barbecue if I want to?¡±
She had been eating non-greasy food recently since she was sick. It was porridge after porridge. Everything was so nd. She wouldn¡¯t be able to stand it anymore if she didn¡¯t eat something nice.
And perhaps the biggest reason was that when she was in America, she would have barbecue quite often with friends to the point where it became a habit.
¡°No,¡± Ye Sijue categorically refused.
Xiaomeng already had too much internal heat. She must definitely not eat barbecue. Even if she wasn¡¯t eating and only watching from the side, he didn¡¯t want to see that happening.
Mu Xiaoxiao ttened her mouth, thinking that Yin Shaojie would probably also have the same bossy reaction, she stopped insisting on it.
¡°Okay then, I was only thinking about Xiaomeng. Let¡¯s not eat barbecue and have something else then.¡±
Ye Sijue said, ¡°Eat something healthy.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She just didn¡¯t want to eat healthy stuff again!
¡°It¡¯s okay as long as she doesn¡¯t eat anything hot, right?¡± She came to apromise as she held Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s hand.
Mu Xiaoxiao was thinking of the things she wanted to eat.
Chapter 789 - Hurry up and Let Him Eat You Already (3)

Then she realized¡ all were hot foods! They were all fried, stir-fried, or super spicy foods.
None of them were suitable for Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s consumption.
Just then, after finishing up his business, Yin Shaojie came downstairs and asked, ¡°What are you guys talking about?¡±
¡°We are discussing what to eat for dinner,¡± Ye Sijue said, ncing at Mu Xiaoxiao.
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Eat something that is not hot.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng also nodded. ¡°Alright then. Xiaoxiao, didn¡¯t you say that you haven¡¯t fully recovered?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
It was three versus one. She lost.
Mu Xiaoxiao totally felt like crying. She just wanted to eat something nice. Why was it so difficult!
She red at Yin Shaojie intively.
Yin Shaojie walked up to her and stroked her little head. ¡°When you arepletely recovered, you can eat whatever you want.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a great urge to say that she was alreadypletely recovered!
However, since Mo Xiaomeng was having excessive internal heat and couldn¡¯t eat things that were too hot, she couldn¡¯t just eat while she watched, right? She certainly couldn¡¯t do that.
¡
Han Qiqing came straight to the Yin residence after school.
She came in with Song Shijun. Smelling the fragrance in the air, they happily went to the dining room.
¡°Smells good! What¡¯s there to eat?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao rushed them, saying, ¡°We are all starved to death waiting for you guys. Hurry up and sit down.¡±
Forgetting about Song Shijun, Han Qiqing quickly took a seat, picked up the chopsticks and was prepared to grab some food. But after taking a look at the dishes, the hands paused.
¡°Why¡ are they all light dishes?¡±
She was also someone who preferred stronger vors, so upon seeing all the lighter dishes, her appetite was halved.
Mu Xiaoxiao sniggered. You¡¯re here to suffer with me!
¡°Come on. Have some soup first.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao gestured to the helper to serve soup for everyone.
Han Qiqing took a sip of the rich herbal chicken soup. It tasted nice, but¡
¡°Xiaoxiao, why do I have the feeling that you asked me to join you only to make me suffer?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao grinned. Though she didn¡¯t nod, her expression had already said everything.
She quickly pushed the me to Shaojie, pointing at him as she said, ¡°It¡¯s all this young master¡¯s fault. At first, I wanted to have barbecue so I invited you two here as well. But then, he told us that we can¡¯t barbecue.¡±
Han Qiqing wailed in anguish, ¡°Argh, stop talking about barbecuing. Mentioning it is making me want to eat it!¡±
Because of the limitations at the previous barbecue when they were camping, it wasn¡¯t quite satisfying. So they had agreed to find some time to have a barbecue again at her ce.
Mo Xiaomeng said apologetically, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, it¡¯s because I¡¯m getting too hot that Xiaoxiao tried to amodate me and¡¡±
¡°You¡¯re getting hot?¡± Han Qiqing asked with concern.
Mo Xiaomeng nodded. ¡°It¡¯s just a little bit. It¡¯s not very serious.¡±
Han Qiqing was relieved. ¡°That¡¯s good then. Perhaps you are still not limatized. After all, we have a different diet here in China. If you are only affected a little by the food here, you should consider yourself lucky.¡±
¡°Yeah, I think so too,¡± Mo Xiaomengughed. After these few days of hanging out together, she had grown fond of Han Qiqing. Han Qiqing was a straightforward and cheerful girl, one who cared about her friends, and one worth making friends with..
¡°When Xiaoxiao and you are both recovered, let¡¯s go barbecue again then, at my house! My family has a big garden. We¡¯ll have a barbecue there, alright?¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Han Qiqing stoppedining about the dishes, and the group happily enjoyed the meal.

After the meal.
Song Shijun asked Yin Shaojie why his parents didn¡¯te back to have dinner.
Yin Shaojie chuckled and exined, saying that his parents were spending romantic time together.
Actually, it was because they knew that their friends wereing, and they didn¡¯t want to be a bother to them, so they decided toe back hometer, also taking the chance to relive the feeling of dating when they were young.
Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t help butment how loving the Yin couple were.
Looking again at Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao, being so in love with each other, she shook her head inwardly. It seemed that loving affection was something that could be inherited.
After the meal, they went into Yin Shaojie¡¯s room.
Song Shijun was excited hearing that his parents weren¡¯t home and he mored for games.
Yin Shaojie hadn¡¯t yed for a long time. Hearing from Song Shijun that there were a lot of new games released recently, Yin Shaojie was intrigued. The two sat in front of the TV and yed some console games.
Ye Sijue sat at the side to watch, his eyes asionally turning to Mo Xiaomeng.
The three girls were sitting on the sofa and chatting happily.
Suddenly, Han Qiqing seemed to have noticed something, and she had nudged Mu Xiaoxiao with her elbow.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her and gave her a questioning nce.
Han Qiqing gestured to her own neck, and stealthily pointed at Mo Xiaomeng.
Mu Xiaoxiao understood her meaning, and her eyes quietly turned to Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s neck.
On the fair skin on her neck was printed a suggestive red mark.
Originally, Mo Xiaomeng was wearing a thin scarf. But perhaps she was feeling too hot, so she took it off andpletely forgot to cover the thing on her neck.
Han Qiqing coughed and said deliberately, ¡°Xiaoxiao, let¡¯s go look at your clothes. I really want to try the skirt you hadst time.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao immediately caught on and joined in the act. ¡°Okay, Xiaomeng,e with us.¡±
So the two led Xiaomeng into the cloakroom.
They closed and locked the door.
In order not to let the boys outside hear their voices, they took Mo Xiaomeng to the end on the room and began to interrogate her.
¡°Xiaomeng, what is this?¡± Han Qiqing teased, pointing at her neck.
¡°This¡¡± It finally urred to Mo Xiaomeng as she bashfully covered that spot. But it was toote. They had already seen everything.
Han Qiqing pointed to the two of them and said, ¡°You two are the same, nting strawberries everywhere. Haven¡¯t you taken into consideration how a single dog like me would feel?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng blushed and apologized, ¡°I didn¡¯t mean it¡¡±
But Mu Xiaoxiao shot back at her, ¡°Ask Shijun to nt it for you then!¡±
¡°Him? What the heck! Who wants him to nt strawberries? If I want to nt strawberries, I¡¯ll ask Lu¡¡± Han Qiqing blushed and was too embarrassed to finish her sentence. But her mind had uncontrobly yed a scene of Lu Yichen nting strawberries on her body, and her cheeks burned even hotter.
¡°Lu Yichen?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao teased, filling up the nks for her.
¡°I wasn¡¯t talking about him!¡± Han Qiqing quickly shot back at her not letting her continue talking.
Mo Xiaomeng was puzzled. ¡°Who is Lu Yichen? Qiqing, aren¡¯t you and Song Shijun together?¡±
Han Qiqing tilted her head back and groaned, ¡°Xiaomeng, what do you think? Who gave you that impression? How could we be a pair!¡±
She remembered that she had clearly exined it several times!
Mo Xiaomeng scratched her head. ¡°But¡ I think you two look like a couple. You two are verypatible. Why aren¡¯t you together?¡±

¡°STOP!¡± Han Qiqing crossed her arms. ¡°He and I, we are just good friends. Do you understand?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t understand.¡± Mo Xiaomeng shook her head.
¡°In any case! He is not the one I like¡¡±
¡°Then who do you like?¡± Mo Xiaomeng curiously batted her eyes, looking very interested.
¡°The one I like¡ You won¡¯t even know if I tell you!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she watched the two. She opened a photo from her cell phone and showed it to Mo Xiaomeng, saying, ¡°Look. This is the guy he likes.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng held the cell phone, her eyes sparkling. ¡°Wow, what a handsome guy! Qiqing, you sure have a good taste.¡±
Even if Lu Yichen wasn¡¯t wearing name-brand clothes, but his air made him stand out. His facial features were also elegant, coupled with his cool andposed attitude, he was definitely handsome. Girls could totally fall for him at first nce.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed, ¡°He is also a genius. His brain is too powerful. He always gets first in exams. He¡¯s just really good. So our Qiqing is so charmed¡ unnggh!¡±
Han Qiqing quickly stoppered her mouth, preventing her from continuing to talk. Her face was almost fully red, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao raised her hands in surrender, telling her that she would shut up from now.
Han Qiqing then let go of her.
However, Mo Xiaomeng had already understood what Mu Xiaoxiao was trying to say.
Mo Xiaomengughed, ¡°Qiqing, he¡¯s such a good catch. No wonder you like him. He seems to be the type that if he happens to like someone, he will continue liking that person unwaveringly.¡±
Upon hearing this sentence, Han Qiqing froze for a moment, her expression became stiff.
She cast a surreptitious nce at Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t notice anything wrong with her, and she even echoed Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s sentiments.
¡°Yeah, I also think that Lu Yichen is this type of person. He is serious when ites to love. Once he gets serious about someone, he won¡¯t waver easily. So he is definitely a good man.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng held Han Qiqing¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Qiqing, you must cherish your chance with him! He looks verypatible with you. You two will definitely be an enviable couple.¡±
Han Qiqing lifted the corner of her mouth. She wanted to smile, but her eyes revealed her sadness.
She looked down to conceal her emotions.
¡°Alright, enough about this. Tell us about this hickey first!¡± She quickly shifted the topic andughed exaggeratedly, ¡°Hurry up and tell us. This hickey is still so red. It must be quite fresh, right?¡± ¡±
Mo Xiaomeng became bashful again. ¡°Why are we talking about me again!¡±
Han Qiqing held her hand, giggling as she said, ¡°Xiaomeng, you don¡¯t have to be embarrassed. We¡¯re all girls. It¡¯s okay to talk about these kinds of things. Your rtionship with Ye Sijue is developing so quickly. Why do I feel that¡ you two will be faster in getting to do you-know-what than a certain someone?¡±
She even cast a meaningful nce at Mu Xiaoxiao.
Han Qiqingmented deliberately. ¡°I really sympathize with Yin Shaojie. He keeps hugging this person everyday, but he just can¡¯t eat her. Gotta admit he¡¯s pretty good at enduring. But, if he keeps enduring this way, will he be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle 1 ?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng was teased into a chuckle.
She asked uprehendingly, ¡°Why would he be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?¡±
Han Qiqing waved her hand. ¡°Your Chinese is not good enough. It¡¯s okay that you don¡¯t understand it just as long as a certain someone understands it.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao went up and grabbed her, pretending to be in a fit of anger as she said, ¡°You traitor! Are you helping him or helping me? Do you want me to be eaten by him that badly?¡±

¡°The earlier he eats you up, the faster you can confirm your rtionship with him, right? I¡¯m anxious for you, okay?¡±
Han Qiqing sighed. She was just like a eunuch worrying for his emperor in vain.
Didn¡¯t Xiaoxiao get it?
No matter for men or for women, their first time would always be the most memorable.
Of course they must take away each other¡¯s first times so that their rtionship could be steadier.
Always stringing him along like that, wouldn¡¯t she worry if someday¡ something happened?
Han Qiqing put her arms around Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s shoulder and kindly reminded her, ¡°There are so many girls who like Yin Shaojie and they are so crazily obsessed with him. Aren¡¯t you afraid that some girl might y Yin Shaojie into her hands, drugging him¡ When the timees, you¡¯ll regret!¡±
¡°Drug him? Then what?¡± Mo Xiaomeng asked uprehendingly.
But Mu Xiaoxiao understood her, and she chuckled bitterly. ¡°This thing¡ If it really happened, then it doesn¡¯t matter anymore whether we did it together or not.¡±
Han Qiqing was stunned for a moment. Then she asked: ¡°If¡ I mean hypothetically. If this thing happened, what would you do?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged, ¡°What else can I do? I¡¯ll break up with him?¡±
¡°If he didn¡¯t do it voluntarily, but he was schemed by someone else, then will you¡¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded seriously, the smile on her face slowly faded.
She had already begun to imagine what she would do if it were to really happen. Would she grow soft because of Yin Shaojie?
Her heart felt a pang.
Mo Xiaomeng finally understood what they were talking about. She also looked serious, saying, ¡°Me too. In any case, I won¡¯t tolerate my boyfriend being intimate with other women. It doesn¡¯t matter what specifically happens. I will be so upset. So it¡¯s definitely uneptable for me. I¡¯ll definitely break up with him.¡±
Han Qiqing sighed. ¡°You¡¯re right. No matter how much you love someone, you can¡¯t tolerate something like this. Or perhaps it is because you love someone too dearly that you won¡¯t be able to tolerate a single fault.¡±
The originally jovial atmosphere became gloomy.
Han Qiqing was thinking how she should cheer them up again when she identally caught sight of the phone in Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s hand. Because it was Lu Yichen¡¯s image on the screen, her eyes were fixated on it for a moment longer.
Then she came to realize that it was a photo she had never seen before.
¡°Xiaomeng, let me see.¡± She took the cell phone from Mo Xiaomeng.
She initially thought that Mu Xiaoxiao had found a photo of Lu Yichen from the school forum.
But not this photo.
Han Qiqing studied the photo of Lu Yichen. It seemed to be taken in a ward.
She looked at Mu Xiaoxiao puzzled. ¡°Xiaoxiao, did you take this photo? When did you take it?¡±
Did Xiaoxiao take this photo when Mama Lu was hospitalized?
However, why would Xiaoxiao save photos of Lu Yichen?
Han Qiqing¡¯s heart tensed as some unpleasant guesses came to her.
Could it be that Xiaoxiao still cared for Lu Yichen?
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned by her question. ¡°Ah? Photo?¡±
She then caught on to what Han Qiqing was saying. The photo was sent to her by her bodyguard in America. She initially only wanted to be updated on Lu Qian¡¯s situation, so she had her bodyguard send some photos to her. But she didn¡¯t expect the bodyguard to have taken much more than what she needed, even including some of Lu Yichen.
¡°This is¡¡± She didn¡¯t know how to answer.
She didn¡¯t know if Lu Yichen had told Qiqing of him taking his mother to America to treat her illness.
If he hadn¡¯t told Qiqing about this, would it be inappropriate if she were to tell her?

But¡ how was she going to exin to Qiqing?
¡°It wasn¡¯t me who took this¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao answered the first question, and stalled for a while without saying anything.
Just then, the boys¡¯ voice came from outside. It seemed that they were ying the game pretty intensely.
Han Qiqing suddenly smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I was only curious. Okay, it¡¯s quitete already. I have to go back.¡±
¡°So fast?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked, snapping out from her contemtion.
It was only seven o¡¯clock, still pretty early.
She had been thinking about how to exin to Qiqing because she didn¡¯t want to lie to Qiqing. And since Qiqing liked Lu Yichen, it was only normal that she would worry about him and want to know about his situation. It¡¯d be stranger if she were to say nothing about it.
If she were to keep news of Lu Yichen from Qiqing, knowing clearly that Qiqing liked Lu Yichen, she would be a shitty friend.
Actually, Mu Xiaoxiao had already decided to tell her about it, but was looking for a way to say it right.
But when Han Qiqing changed the subject, she then thought that it might be fine to ask Lu Yichen first before telling Qiqing about it.
Han Qiqing helped Mo Xiaomeng adjust her clothes before going out.
¡°I have something to attend to so I¡¯ll go first. You two can continue ying.¡±
Walking to the room, Yin Shaojie and gang were still ying. They seemed very enthralled by the game.
Mu Xiaoxiao went over and said, ¡°Qiqing is going back. Shijun, see her off.¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Song Shijun was holding onto the game controller as he turned around, looking like he hadn¡¯t caught on to what she was saying.
Han Qiqing saw that he was so happy and didn¡¯t want to be the wet nket.
So she said, ¡°No need. You can have the Yin residence¡¯s chauffeur send me back instead. Let him continue ying.¡±
Song Shijun finally caught on and looked up. ¡°I think it will be better if I see you off instead. Gimme a moment. Let me finish this round.¡±
With that said, he quickly turned his eyes back onto the game.
Yin Shaojieughed, ¡°You should just leave now. You¡¯re gonna lose anyways. Even if I give you the whole night, you won¡¯t be able to beat me.¡±
¡°Who says? Just you wait! I will beat you.¡± Boys¡ They were all verypetitive especially when it involved the things that they liked. They couldn¡¯t just simply admit defeat.
Han Qiqing rolled her eyes at him and said, ¡°You can keep ying your game. I don¡¯t need you to see me off. I¡¯m afraid you might even mistake the steering wheel for the game controller when you drive.¡±
With that said, she walked out.
¡°How is this possible! Eh, Qiqing? You really don¡¯t need me?¡±
Song Shijun¡¯s voice rang from behind her, but Han Qiqing ignored him and had already left the room.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Mo Xiaomeng followed behind her to see her off.
Mu Xiaoxiao said disappointedly, ¡°I was hoping you could stay overnight. Then the three of us can sleep together in a room and have some heart-to-heart talk.¡±
She also wanted to ask Qiqing about how she was doing with Lu Yichen.
Han Qiqingughed, ¡°Do you think that is possible? Even if Ye Sijue and I are okay with it, your Great Master Yin won¡¯t be okay with it.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao gestured to the helper to have someone prepare the car.
After sending her to the car and watching the car leaving through the gate, Mu Xiaoxiao and Mo Xiaomeng went back into the house.
It was seven o¡¯clock, and the sky was dark.
The streetmps lit up throughout the whole city.
Han Qiqing watched the busy traffic outside the window and people everywhere on the streets. She wore a gloomy expression. Taking down the facade of happiness, her eyes were left with loneliness.

On the way home she was silent and her face expressionless.
When she was about to reach home, she had the chauffeur stop at the intersection, and she got out of the car.
When the Yin family¡¯s car left, she went to sit on the nearby bench, took out her cell phone, stared gravely at the phone for sometime. Then she could not help herself and finally dialed Lu Yichen¡¯s phone.
She didn¡¯t even know why she was calling him.
In the past, she would always think up the conversation topic before calling him lest she make the atmosphere awkward without saying anything.
Now, her head was a mess and she hadn¡¯t thought about what she was going to say to him.
She just¡ wanted to hear his voice.
After dialing the number, Han Qiqing was nervous. Her mind was a mess. What was she going to say to him if he picked up?
And in the next second, a female voice was heard over the phone, saying, ¡°The phone you just dialed has been turned off, please try againter¡¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s face was nk.
He¡ turned off his phone.
How timely.
Her mind, which was frantically looking for a conversation topic, instantly became a nk.
An indescribable feeling of despondence came over her.
Above her, yellowish withered leaves were carried by the wind and fell by her side and on her shoulders, showing in contrast the paleness of her face.
A ck Bentley silently stopped in front of her.
¡°Qingqing?¡±
Han Qiqing was brought back to her senses by the cold voice. The night breeze brushed against her face, and she felt a sudden coldness. She instinctively rubbed her face, realizing that she had been crying.
Her face was covered with tears, feeling slightly sticky.
She quickly wiped away the traces with both hands, afraid that someone might see them.
However, it was apparent that the person who just called her had already seen them, and the voice was chilly as it asked, ¡°What happened?¡±
Han Qiqing looked up, through the lowered window, and she forced a smile, saying, ¡°Brother, you just got off work?¡±
The man frowned, opened the door and got out of the car. Then he walked up and stared at her.
Han Qiqing lowered her head, afraid to look at him. With her eyes red after crying, looking at him would be as good as admitting that she was crying.
The next moment, a zer was draped over her, still warm.
Han Qiqing shivered, realizing that her hands was cold.
She didn¡¯t know how long she had been sitting there and crying.
She thought that he would scold her. On such a cold night, why wasn¡¯t she wearing a jacket, and why was she sitting here exposed to the wind instead of going back home?
However, this was just her own delusions. The person before her was her brother, who had the personality of an iceberg. How could it be possible that he would talk that much? If he talked that much, that he wouldn¡¯t be an iceberg anymore.
Sure enough, he said nothing. He only grabbed her and stuffed her into the car.
¡°Why are you crying?¡± He cut to the chase, asking in his chilly voice, without even giving her some time of peace.
Han Qiqing shook her head and smiled. ¡°I¡¯m not crying. It¡¯s really nothing. No biggie. Brother, you¡¯re off work early today. You don¡¯t need to work overtime today?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± His answer was still so brief.
Han Qiqing pursed up her lips. Sometimes she really felt that her father was right when he said that her mother had passed all their cheerfulness to her when giving birth to them. Thus, he was the one with the cold personality, always looking expressionless and taciturn.
¡°So have you eaten yet?¡± she asked since she wasn¡¯t expecting her iceberg of a brother to be the one initiating the conversation.
Chapter 795 - Approaching Mu Xiaoxiao (3)
Chapter 795: Approaching Mu Xiaoxiao (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°No.¡±
¡°You didn¡¯t eat again. Even if you are busy with work, you have to eat regrly. You had some stomach trouble thest time, yet you¡¯re still not eating right. Later, I will watch you and make sure you eat.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
One kept bbering while the other was sparing with his words. And so they chatted along the way home.
Fortunately, it was a short journey, otherwise Han Qiqing would tire of talking.
Upon reaching home, the helpers had already prepared the dishes.
Whiffing the smell of her favorite dishes, the glutton in her awoke.
She hadn¡¯t eaten much at the Yin residence because most of the dishes were too light, so she was still quite hungry.
¡°Brother, I will eat with you!¡±
After satiating herself and belching, Han Qiqing felt better than before.
Just when she sat down on the sofa, that icy brother of hers came over and gave her something.
¡°A client gave me this.¡±
Han Qiqing took a look at it. It was actually her favorite German chocte, and she instantly smiled till her eyes curved into crescents.
¡°Thanks brother!¡±
If it wasn¡¯t for the cold expression on Brother Iceberg, she would have jumped and kissed him.
¡°Yeah.¡± He replied indifferently before heading upstairs.
Han Qiqing knew that he was going to work in the study again.
She sat on the sofa, holding the chocte in her arms, the usual bright smile returning to her face.
Sure enough, home was still the best ce for her. Her family treated the best.
¡
At Shangde High.
¡°Ah chooo¡ª¡ª¡±
During lesson time in Year Two ss S, Song Shijun sneezed again after multiple sessive sneezes.
He rubbed his nose and muttered. What¡¯s happening? Is someone talking bad about me?
Meanwhile, in the field, Year One¡¯s ss S was having their physical education ss.
Mu Xiaoxiao stood among the rest, wearing a sulky face as her pink mouth cursed Song Shijun.
It¡¯s all Song Shijun¡¯s fault!
Originally, she had wanted toze around at home for two more days making use of her sick leave. However, because Song Shijun came to the Yin residence to y games yesterday, she got excited, joined in, and ended up glowing with energy as she yed.
Thus, the Great Master Yin said that since she was already recovered she should definitely return to school.
It would have been fine if she only had normal lessons, but she just had to have physical education ss today.
The most frustrating thing was that they were going to be running again today!
Mu Xiaoxiao immediately thought of skipping ss upon hearing the physical education teacher say that. But it was only just a thought. She had already gotten into the formation for ss. How could she still escape?
The physical education teacher said, ¡°You can all go and do some exercises first. In ten minutes we¡¯ll start running. The first three people from the first column, go to the equipment room and take the equipment. The rest may disperse.¡±
The person next to Mu Xiaoxiao tugged at her, ¡°Let¡¯s go then.¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao then realized that she was the third person in the first column.
So, she had no choice but to follow the two students to the equipment room.
Standing in the equipment room, she couldn¡¯t help but be reminded of thest time Lu Yichen brought her here when they skipped ss.
Her eyes instinctively turned to the door behind her.
Through the door and toward the aisle at the end was the best spot to escape.
Were there other people also skipping sses at this time?
When she was still daydreaming, the two ssmates had already gone out with the equipment.
Mu Xiaoxiao then remembered that she was supposed to be helping them. Just as she turned around, she heard a strange sound from the side.
Could it be¡ that someone else was here?
Her legs unconsciously led her in that direction.
Chapter 796 - Approaching Mu Xiaoxiao (4)

In the corner, behind the tall equipment, a dark figure could be vaguely seen in the dim lighting.
¡°Who are you? I saw you. Stop hiding. Come out!¡± she demanded.
She thought it was probably some student preparing to skip ss, so she instantly felt like teasing the person.
As if he had heard her, the dark figure stood up, but he was wearing a cap that hid his face from her view.
Mu Xiaoxiao folded her arms at her chest, smiling mischievously as she said, ¡°Which ss are you from? Tell me your name. Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know that you are trying to skip sses. As a student, how is it right to try to skip sses all the time?¡±
A certain someone who was just contemting about skipping sses was not even embarrassed lecturing someone else now.
That person walked to her side.
Mu Xiaoxiao then realized that he was so tall, at least 1.8 meters, about as tall as Yin Shaojie.
Just then, footsteps were heard from the door.
Mu Xiaoxiao instinctively turned back to look.
Little did she expect that the guy lunged at her when her defenses were down, covering her mouth and dragging her backward.
Her eyes widened in horror, but she sensed that he wasn¡¯t too rough in his actions, so she wasn¡¯t too afraid. Perhaps, he just didn¡¯t want people to find him?
Sure enough, a pleasant male voice spoke into her ear, ¡°Shh, keep quiet.¡±
The next second, the door was opened, and two boys came in. They were talking as they took some things before quickly leaving again.
Mu Xiaoxiao knocked herself into that guy behind her, cuing him to release her.
Fortunately, this person really let go of her.
Mu Xiaoxiao retreated a few steps. From this perspective, she was able to get a clear look at the person.
Wow, a handsome guy!
Mu Xiaoxiao was quite surprised. She didn¡¯t expect to encounter such a handsome guy in this kind of ce. Judging from his stylish attire and the ssy air about him, she knew he must be some rich kid.
However, most of the students studying at Shangde were rich kids, so this was not umon.
This person seemed quite familiar to her. She seemed to have seen him from somewhere before but she couldn¡¯t remember exactly.
If he was a student of Shangde, given how handsome he was, she would have definitely remembered him if she had seen him before. She would at least put him and Yin Shaojie together forparison.
Seriously, this handsome guy right in front of her had the looks on par with the school hunks, and he could actuallypete with Yin Shaojie in the looks department.
So it felt odd to her. If she had seen this person in Shangde, there was no reason she would not remember him.
Then there was only one other possibility: She had seen this person, but not in school.
He wasn¡¯t a student of Shangde.
¡°Who are you?¡± she asked, not appearing guarded.
He didn¡¯t hurt her just now. This meant that he wasn¡¯t a bad guy.
The handsome guy chuckled and squinted as if he could hardly believe her, saying, ¡°You don¡¯t know me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and returned him with a question, ¡°I don¡¯t know you. Should I know you?¡±
She scoffed inwardly. This guy loved himself that much, huh? Did he really think that the whole world should know who he was because he was handsome?
The handsome guy took off his cap and his hood, revealing his fine-looking facial features.
¡°Are you sure you don¡¯t know me?¡± he asked again with a smirk, his eyes staring interestedly into hers.
¡°Oh¡ª¡ª¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked like she had a sudden realization. Then her little face straightened, and she said indifferently, ¡°Nope.¡±
¡°Hahaha¡ª¡ª¡± He was tickled intoughter as if she had just made a funny joke.
Chapter 797 - Approaching Mu Xiaoxiao (5)

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him weirdly.
Was this guy mentally ill?
A handsome guy with mental illness?
What a pity that would be!
With light shining through the gap in the window, it could be clearly seen that this person was wearing an F-shaped earring on his right ear. It was hard to ignore it as it dazzled with the reflected light.
If some other girl were present, they would immediately realize from his earrings that the person before her was the current hottest idol superstar¡ªFeng Shengyang!
Feng Shengyang folded his arms, staring at her intently. It was as though he was trying to guess if she really meant what she said.
He had always been very confident, and it was true that he was popr among women. He had even once asserted that aside from those older women, not a single younger girl would not know about him.
However, from the looks of things now, did he just get pped in the face?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes were very clear and pure. It seemed like she was absolutely telling the truth.
It was really quite embarrassing for him.
But the strange thing was that given his personality, he should be upset, but he wasn¡¯t at all upset. Instead he thought it was¡ interesting.
It seemed more interesting than he had thought!
¡°Okay, it¡¯s normal for you not to know me, because I¡¯m just an ordinary passerby,¡± he shrugged and joked bitterly.
Mu Xiaoxiao heard the whistle from outside and remembered that she was in the middle of the physical education ss and had to go out quickly.
So she didn¡¯t bother with guessing who he was and casually said, ¡°If you want to skip sses, just go that way then.¡±
Pointing at the door behind, she was going to leave.
When she turned around, he grabbed her hand again and spun her back skilfully.
Mu Xiaoxiao spun around like a spinning top, feeling a little dizzy.
¡°You¡¡±
Just when she was going to swear, he led her toward the backdoor.
¡°I don¡¯t know how to go out. Since you¡¯re helping already, help me through the whole mile then,¡± he said,pletely ignoring her personal wishes as she took her toward the backdoor.
Before Mu Xiaoxiao could react, she was already led through the back door.
¡°Here?¡± Feng Shengyang pointed to the only passage behind.
¡°Yeah.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. Since she was already here now, she might as well help him out.
However, she was simply not ustomed any guys holding her hands besides Yin Shaojie. Thus, she was ufortable, trying to free her hand from his.
As though Feng Shengyang didn¡¯t sense her unwillingness, he grabbed her hand even tighter as he took her into the passageway.
¡°It¡¯s here!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao quickly reminded him, seeing as he was about to continue walking down the path.
Feng Shengyang stopped. ¡°Here?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him and said, ¡°Get adder and climb out from here. Haven¡¯t you escaped ss before? Why were you hiding there?¡±
She frowned. This time, she didn¡¯t care about how he felt and wrung her hand free from his grasp.
Feng Shengyang looked at her, pretending as though he had only realized how rude he was, and he apologized, saying, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t notice.¡±
Seeing that he apologized, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to be petty about it as well.
¡°Thedder is over there. After you climb up, the wall beyond this is very short. You can just jump straight down from there.¡±
She took a look at him. ¡°With your height, it¡¯ll be easy.¡±
¡°Where is thedder?¡± he asked, pretending to be muddle-headed.
¡°It¡¯s there!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pointed at thedder at the corner, feeling a great urge to twist his head in that direction.
¡°Oh,¡± Feng Shengyang said, and he went and brought thedder back.
Just as she was about to leave, he grabbed her again unexpectedly.

Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head around grudgingly, flung his hand away and asked, ¡°What more do you want?¡±
Feng Shengyang furrowed his brows and said quizzically, ¡°Thedder isn¡¯t high enough. How am I supposed to climb it?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao took a look at thedder. The top of thedder didn¡¯t reach the top of the wall. It was still about an arm¡¯s distance away. It was indeed hard for some people to climb it.
But¡ she nced at the height of him.
With his height, wouldn¡¯t it be easy?
She couldn¡¯t help but scoff, ¡°Is that height wasted on you?¡±
Feng Shengyang shrugged andughed bitterly, ¡°I really don¡¯t know how to do it. I¡¯ve never climbed before. Help me, okay? Please!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao squinted at him as if she was trying to tell if he was lying.
But it was to no avail. Feng Shengyang was a master actor. It was impossible to see through his act. Especially when such a handsome guy was looking at her with those pleading eyes, it was tough to keep her heart hardened.
Besides, Mu Xiaoxiao was the type of person that was amenable to coaxing but not coercion.
If you tried to push her, she would shove you back. But if you softly plead with her, her heart would easily soften and she wouldn¡¯t be able to refuse you.
Looking at the top of thedder, an impulse surged in her.
She was only gonna demonstrate it! She wouldn¡¯t skip ss like him!
¡°Alright, I will climb up first and pull you up.¡±
¡°Thank you!¡± Feng Shengyang gave an absolutely charming smile.
Most girls who saw that would definitely be charmed and scream wildly for him.
However, this move was ineffective on Mu Xiaoxiao.
There was nothing he could do about it since she was spoiled with seeing Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsomeness everyday.
Mu Xiaoxiaopletely ignored his charm. She stepped on thedder to test its steadiness before climbing up and reaching the top of the wall quickly.
¡°Saw that? You have long limbs. Just climb up as I did. You don¡¯t even need me to pull you.¡±
Sitting on the wall, her gaze unconsciously turned to look outside.
Because they were still in the middle of ss, there were fewer people outside, so there shouldn¡¯t be anyone noticing her at the wall, right?
¡°Hurry up!¡± she rushed him impatiently.
As the wind brushed past her, she was jolted to her senses. She was feeling gloomy. Why did she end up helping this strange person?
It was too weird!
It felt like she was bewitched. How did she end up being led by the nose by him?
How was it her business that he didn¡¯t know how to climb?
Mu Xiaoxiao felt her brain was addled.
She had better send this person off quickly. She had to return to the physical education ss.
However, at the thought of having to run, she felt the dread to return again¡
¡°Stop dawdling. Hurry up!¡± Seeing him still hesitant as if it was really his first time climbing and being especially careful at every step, she was getting annoyed.
So when Feng Shengyang reached the top of thedder, he extended his hand to her and said, ¡°Gimme a pull.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao then reached out to pull him.
Finally, he was also sitting on the wall.
¡°Okay, you can jump off here. I¡¯m leaving.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was about to go down when he grabbed her again.
¡°Wait, can you¡¡±
¡°God are you annoying!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shouted back at him. However, she suddenly lost her bnce, the world spin before her as she fell outside.
Mu Xiaoxiao shrunk in fright, closing her eyes as she waited for the pain toe.
Bang! The two fell together behind the wall.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt something soft beneath her, and she immediately realized that he had cushioned hernding.

¡°Are you okay?¡± she asked anxiously as she looked down at him.
Before she could see his face, she heard him exim, ¡°Ow, I¡¯m okay¡¡±
Falling down from so high and being crushed under her weight. How could he be okay?
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly got up, his hand pushing her up by her waist.
¡°Are you really okay?¡± She asked worriedly as she pulled him up.
Feng Shengyang shook his head and brushed the dirt off his clothes. He swiftly put on his hood and his cap and looked around.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that his behavior was strange as though he was hiding from someone, but she felt that she shouldn¡¯t be too nosy and ask him about it.
Seeing that he was really okay, she was relieved.
However, this was a good time to reproach him.
¡°Dammit. Why did you have to pull me? I wouldn¡¯t have fallen down if not for you.¡±
Feng Shengyang joked, ¡°Okay okay, it¡¯s my fault. Didn¡¯t I let yound on me already? You didn¡¯t fall to the ground. I¡¯m the one who is injured.¡±
He was rubbing his shoulder as he talked. It seemed like he was really injured.
¡°And you still said that you are okay? If you are injured, let me take you to the hospital.¡± Although he was in the wrong, at least he was good enough to protect her during the fall.
Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t an ungrateful person.
¡°This injury is nothing and the wall wasn¡¯t too high.¡± Feng Shengyang said nonchntly. After some twisting of his shoulders, he seemed to be alright.
Mu Xiaoxiao nced at the wall beside her. It was not very high, but it was at least taller than her. It would still be quite painful to fall from that height.
This reminded her. This wall seemed to have a grievance with her. When she skipped sses with Lu Yichenst time, it also wasn¡¯t quite a smooth run as she nearly fell.
This time, she fell. But luckily, someone was there to cushion hernding.
It seemed that she shouldn¡¯t go by this wall in the future since this wall didn¡¯t seem to go well with her.
Feng Shengyang scanned the surroundings. Then he suddenly grabbed her hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±
¡°Huh? Go?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. ¡°I¡¯m not going with you. I don¡¯t wanna skip ss! I was pushed down by you. I¡¯m going back to ss now.¡±
¡°What¡¯s the big deal about skipping sses? Moreover, it is a physical education ss. It doesn¡¯t matter whether you go or not, right? Hurry up, lest someone sees us.¡± Feng Shengyang was grasping her hand tightly, as if he was chaining her wrists preventing her from wringing herself free.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at his side profile puzzled. ¡°Why are you so afraid of being seen? You¡¯re not a wanted criminal, are you?¡±
Feng Shengyang stopped in his tracks, drawing back the corners of his mouth as he stared at her disagreeably, ¡°Wanted criminal? Have you ever seen such a handsome wanted criminal? Can¡¯t you make a better guess? Also, are you acting? You really don¡¯t recognize me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao snorted. ¡°Why can¡¯t a wanted criminal be handsome? What nonsense. Also, aren¡¯t you too narcissistic? That¡¯s a disorder. Go treat it!¡±
Watching her looking serious as she roasted him, Feng Shengyang couldn¡¯t help butugh.
She was the first person to say such things to him.
The two had only stopped for a few seconds, but someone had already noticed them, perhaps because they were wearing bright clothes.
¡°Eh? Doesn¡¯t that person look like Feng Shengyang?¡±
¡°That can¡¯t be, right? How can Feng Shengyang be here? But from his appearance, his body figure looks like him, and his side profile also looks like him¡ Seems like it¡¯s really him!¡±
Those people talked among themselves as they slowly approached them.

Feng Shengyang¡¯s eyes darted sharply and he suddenly grasped Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand.
¡°We may have to run.¡±
¡°What?¡±
Why did they have to run?
Before Mu Xiaoxiao could catch on, he had already led her running.
Behind them, the girls instantly screamed out and they also shouted a name.
But because of the whistling sound in her ear, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t hear them clearly.
Feng Shengyang was running very fast, leading her into an alley with a ck luxury car parked by the side.
¡°Get in the car!¡±
Before Mu Xiaoxiao could catch her breath, he had already stuffed her into the car.
¡°Eh! Can you be gentler? I¡¯m human, not an object!¡± She protested as she fell back into the seat.
¡°Sorry,¡± Feng Shengyang said before he quickly went over to the driver¡¯s seat.
He started the car and drove out of the alley.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at his face, her brain turning on as she asked, ¡°You¡¯re not a celebrity, are you?¡±
Otherwise, why would girls be chasing him?
That could be the only reason.
Moreover, he had repeatedly asked her earlier if she really didn¡¯t recognize him. So he must have thought himself to be some famous person.
¡°What do you think?¡± Feng Shengyang gave her a sinister smile and drove the car onto the main road.
Because the car was ck and had quite a typical look, it wouldn¡¯t attract unnecessary attention, so they were able to sessfully ditch those girls.
Mu Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes in thought and took out her cell phone from her pocket.
¡°Look here,¡± she said to him.
Feng Shengyang instinctively turned his head, and she took a photo of him.
He smirked. ¡°You only thought of taking a picture now?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao curled her lips. ¡°It seems that you really are a celebrity. No wonder I thought you looked familiar.¡±
However, she still didn¡¯t who he was, so she took a photo and searched for it online.
Very quickly, she found him.
¡°Feng¡ Shengyang! So it¡¯s you!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao had a sh of realization.
Feng Shengyang controlled the steering wheel with one hand in a dashing pose as he turned to face her. He smiled and joked self-deprecatingly. ¡°Oh, so you do know me? I thought my poprity dropped.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°It¡¯s hard not to know who you are.¡±
The main reason was that this person was just too popr now. She had heard about him even when she was back in America and there were also a few foreign girls who were crazy about him.
However, she had never been one to chase after celebrities, so she hardly followed them. She had only seen some pictures of him incidentally, so she had some inkling of who he was.
Even so, she had also heard some rumors about him.
Rumors said that he came from a wealthy family and entered the entertainment industry only for the fun of it, so he was known to be brash and disdainful of others.
At least the other celebrities would try to win over their fans and show concern for them. But he wouldn¡¯t. He would tend to get annoyed and act indifferently.
But that was also the reason why he had so many loyal fans.
What his fans loved was his realistic and uninhibited way of life. No one could keep him on a leash.
This was probably what most people sought after.
¡°Well Mr. Celebrity, how did you end up hiding in our school¡¯s equipment room?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked curiously as she turned to look at him, propping up her chin with her little hand.
He wasn¡¯t a student of Shangde. Then why was he in Shangde? And he was even hiding in the equipment room. This was just too odd.
The car stopped as it came to a red light.
Feng Shengyang smiled charmingly as he looked to her and replied, ¡°If I tell you that I came to meet you, would you believe me?¡±
Chapter 801 - I Came to Meet You (3)
Chapter 801: I Came to Meet You (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned.
However, after staying in America for four years, she was already immune to all kinds of pickup lines.
As she thought back to his personality and the rumors that he was a yboy involved in lots of scandals, she took it that he was only humoring her.
Men of his type could easilye up with all kinds of smooth talk.
She shrugged and said, ¡°If you¡¯re not going to tell, then forget it.¡±
The light turned green. Feng Shengyang started the car, smiling as he said, ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, there¡¯s nothing I can do about it.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao turned to look out the window, not interested in entertaining him.
When she was in America, lots of guys had tried to court her. The most annoying were the smooth talkers like him who would flirt with any girl. They were truly indecent.
Looking at the front, she said, ¡°Drop me at the intersection up ahead.¡±
For some inexplicable reason, he took her out of school. It wasn¡¯t her intention to skip sses with him, so she had to get back to school quickly.
Feng Shengyang pretended not to hear and continued straight, missing the intersection.
¡°Hey! What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was unhappy.
Feng Shengyang nced at her and said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll stop messing with you. I¡¯m telling the truth, alright? Some fans saw me, so I fled and somehow ended up there. Then, I met you. Will this exnation do?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded as she thought that this exnation was more reasonable.
¡°Then what were you doing at our school?¡± she asked again.
Feng Shengyang smiled with pursed lips as he looked at her through the corner of his eyes.
I told you I came for you, but you didn¡¯t believe me.
He said casually, ¡°I was there for work. I was supposed to have a meet-and-greet with the fans at your school today.¡±
¡°Then you escaped and abandoned your fans? That¡¯s too willful of you!¡± Sure enough, just as the rumors said, this person was so unruly and just did things however he pleased.
Feng Shengyang humorouslyughed and said, ¡°Disrupting the rhythm and changing the trajectory of our lives asionally may give us some pleasant surprise sometimes. Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s interesting this way?¡±
¡°Then don¡¯t you not want to let down your fans?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao held her chin as she stared at him, feeling sympathetic for his fans.
For someone to act self-important so tantly was quite unheard of.
He shrugged and said, ¡°It¡¯s not the first time. They should be used to it already.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or cry. She was bing even more sympathetic of those fans who were crazy for him.
How did such a willful celebrity exist?
As they chatted, the car had stopped in front of arge building, with restaurants on the ground floor.
¡°Is there anything you would like to eat?¡± Feng Shengyang asked her while he parked the car.
Seeing as she was already so far, she cast aside the thought of returning to school. Coincidentally, she saw a bakery at the side and said, ¡°I want to eat strawberry cake.¡±
Feng Shengyang took out his wallet and pulled out a few notes and handed it to her. ¡°Go and buy it yourself. It¡¯s not very convenient for me to go.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed. ¡°No need. I have money.¡±
She didn¡¯t want to be spending money from other boys.
Even when he insisted on giving it to her, Mu Xiaoxiao still refused as she turned to get out of the car, heading toward the bakery.
A few minutester, she came out carrying a bag in her hand. She seemed to have bought quite a few things.
¡°Oh yeah, I forget to ask what you wanted to eat, so I just randomly bought some for you.¡±

Feng Shengyang motioned to her that she didn¡¯t need to get in the car as he got out of the car as well, pointing to a shop upstairs.
Mu Xiaoxiao saw that it was a high-end club, so she followed him there.
Feng Shengyang was apparently a frequent customer here.
When he came in, before he even took off his cap, the receptionist had already recognized him, smiling as she led them into a booth.
The receptionistdy bowed, and docile manner she asked, ¡°Young Master Feng, should I call Ah Qi to join you?¡±
¡°Call him,¡± Young Master Feng nodded.
The receptionistdy then left.
It was a billiard room with two tables in the middle, and chairs, sofa, and a TV by the side. It was quite spacious, and it even had a bar. The whole decor was very unique.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t feel a bit ufortable. She took a seat, opened her bag, and took out the strawberry cake.
Time to eat!
Feng Shengyang walked over and sat down opposite her, staring at her amusingly. ¡°Do you girls like to eat cakes that much?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao passed another matcha cake to him and asked, ¡°Do you guys hate sweet stuff so much? Why?¡±
However, at the mention of strawberry cakes, she was reminded of someone.
Lu Yichen.
He was the one out of all the boys she knew who had the same taste as her.
Mu Xiaoxiao propped up her chin and picked up the strawberry on the cake with a fork. As she ate, she wondered how Lu Yichen and her mother were doing and whether the results for her mother¡¯s condition were out.
Then, she remembered that she had forgotten something.
She was going to call Lu Yichenst night to see if she could tell Qiqing about his matter lest Qiqing worry herself to death over him.
But she had had too much fun ying the game with Song Shijunst night that she forgot about it.
Looking at the time now, it appeared to be night time in America. It wasn¡¯t a good time to call him.
It seemed that she should wait to call him at night.
Seeing that she was apparently lost in her thoughts, Feng Shengyang¡¯s eyes narrowed discontentedly.
There hadn¡¯t been a girl who was so inattentive when hanging out with him.
With such a handsome guy right in front of her, was she just going to remain so aloof?
Feng Shengyang¡¯s self-confidence was dealt quite a blow.
Feng Shengyang tapped his fingers on the table as he gazed deeply at her little face.
Absorbed in her own thoughts, Mu Xiaoxiao failed to notice his predatory eyes.
After a while, someone entered through the door.
¡°Young Master Feng.¡± The two good-looking, tall men came in and greeted Feng Shengyang.
Feng Shengyang stood up, nced at Mu Xiaoxiao, and tapped his knuckles on the table.
The sound brought Mu Xiaoxiao back to her senses. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±
¡°Are you ying?¡± He pointed to the billiard table.
¡°You y then. I¡¯ll eat.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao continued to eat her strawberry cake. She was not going to divert her attention away from her strawberry cake for the time being.
¡°Okay.¡± Feng Shengyang didn¡¯t force her. Then he took off his cap and hood, revealing his handsome face.
One of the guys passed him his personal cue stick.
The other guy went to set up the billiards table.
Mu Xiaoxiao darted a nce at them and realized that he was going to y snooker, which used 22 balls and was more difficult than other billiard games.
It seemed that this guy was good at this.
Sure enough, Feng Shengyang made the break and scattered the balls. Then came time for him to perform as he dashingly potted one in.
Chapter 803 - I Came to Meet You (5)
Chapter 803: I Came to Meet You (5)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Feng Shengyang potted one beautifully. Leaning over the table, he cast a sidelong nce at Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t stingy with her praise as she gave him a thumbs up.
Feng Shengyang chuckled.
At the end of the round, Feng Shengyang had the higher score. The two men kissed up to him, saying, ¡°Young Master Feng, your skills are bing more and more impressive.¡±
¡°Even Ah Qi, who went into the top three in the nationalpetition is no match for you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but snigger.
She pointed her fork at the man named Ah Qi, ¡°Really? You won a prize?¡±
Ah Qiughed modestly and said, ¡°I only got third ce.¡±
Coming in third ce in the national snooker tournament was impressive enough!
Mu Xiaoxiao suspected that they might be deliberately letting Feng Shengyang win. After all, Feng Shengyang was their moneybag. How could they let the moneybag lose, and embarrass him?
As if he had read her, Feng Shengyang squinted at her. ¡°So you think that I¡¯m lousy?¡±
¡°No, you seem pretty good.¡±
¡°Come and y. I¡¯ll teach you.¡±
Seeing that she had finished eating the cake, he went to her and pulled her over.
The other guy read the situation, went to pick a suitable cue stick for girls, and handed it over respectfully.
Mu Xiaoxiao took the cue stick confidently and tried out the stick with a stance.
Feng Shengyang pulled her over and made her stand in front of him. He stood behind her, putting hisrge hand on her little slender, and fair hand motioning her to bend down.
Wasn¡¯t this posture a little too intimate?
It was just like how the male and female leads in TV dramas made use of teaching the other person as an excuse to create an ambiguous atmosphere.
Now that Mu Xiaoxiao already belonged to someone, she didn¡¯t want to get into an ambiguous rtionship with any other guys.
She put her elbow between her and Feng Shengyang so that he wouldn¡¯t be able to cling himself on her back.
Sheughed and said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to teach me. I know how to y.¡±
¡°Oh?¡± Feng Shengyang let go of his hand, stepped aside, and folded his arms at her chest as he watched her.
Eyeing the white ball in front of her, her little hand shoved the stick and sent the white ball rolling. The white ball hit a blue ball, which was just next to a hole, and the blue ball was potted.
The two men at the side instantly apuded, their eyes filled with approval. ¡°Nice shot!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao certainly knew the limits of her own skills, and she smiled and said modestly, ¡°It¡¯s alright, not that good.¡±
Feng Shengyang also pped his hands as he stared at the petite girl before him.
He didn¡¯t expect that this innocent-looking bright-eyed little girl could actually still y this.
Actually, it was because William and his friends liked ying this, so Mu Xiaoxiao had learned something from the time she hung around them. Moreover, William was a master at this. Mu Xiaoxiao could already perform quite decently after being casually taught by him.
Feng Shengyang was looking even more interested as he looked to Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t we y a game?¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao also became interested, and she smiled at him and said, ¡°However, since you are so good, aren¡¯t you being a bully by asking me to y with you?¡±
Feng Shengyang smiled and said naughtily, ¡°I kinda like bullying people.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao snorted at him. She was not going to be bullied by him!
The only person who could bully her was that bastard, Yin Shaojie.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes narrowed craftily as she pondered for a moment and said, ¡°How about this¡¡±
Chapter 804 - I Came to Meet You (6)
Chapter 804: I Came to Meet You (6)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Let¡¯s make it fair. Three balls for me, and fifteen balls for you. Whoever reaches their respective number of points first wins, alright? How¡¯s that?¡±
Feng Shengyang raised his eyebrows. ¡°This is fair?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°I think it¡¯s very fair! Don¡¯t you guys think so?¡±
The two guys couldn¡¯t say no to her and they just smiled awkwardly.
Mu Xiaoxiao said shamelessly, ¡°Look, they agreed. So that¡¯s settled then. You¡¯re not scared that I might win, are you?¡±
Feng Shengyangughed, ¡°No, I¡¯m just wondering if I¡¯m bullying too much.¡±
Burned by hiseback, Mu Xiaoxiao red at him.
Just you watch!
Before Feng Shengyang gave any instructions, that guy read the situation and went up to set up the game.
Feng Shengyang gestured to Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°Ladies first.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t stand on ceremony as she chalked the cue stick and made the opening shot.
Unfortunately, it was a bad shot.
Feng Shengyang potted six balls in the first round.
Mu Xiaoxiao was getting worried.
Feng Shengyang turned to cast a nce at her. Perhaps it was a deliberate move. The ball grazed the pocket and rolled to the side.
Mu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief.
¡°It¡¯s my turn.¡± She confidently stepped forward and potted a ball.
Feng Shengyang narrowed his eyes. Although scoring from this angle wasn¡¯t too difficult, it wasn¡¯t too bad for a girl either.
It seemed that this wretch really had some skills.
After Mu Xiaoxiao potted another one, she was getting conceited. ¡°Hehe, I¡¯ll win if I pot another one.¡±
Perhaps the heavens didn¡¯t like seeing her happy. Unfortunately, her cue stick slipped, and she missed.
Mu Xiaoxiao was vexed.
Feng Shengyang walked over, nced at the balls on the table, then looked at her and teased her, saying, ¡°Do you think I should allow you another turn?¡±
He looked confident that he could pot all the balls he needed.
Mu Xiaoxiao folded her arms at her chest and said provocatively, ¡°Tell me that after you pot in some balls, stop talking big.¡±
Talking big?
Feng Shengyang showed her with action instead that he wasn¡¯t talking big.
Eight consecutive balls were potted in.
A total of fourteen balls. This meant that he was only one ball away from winning.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly got anxious. This guy was too good!
Seeing that he was going to score, her eyes darted as a weird thought came to her, and she suddenly walked beside him and yelled at his ear.
¡°Ahhh¡ª¡ª¡±
The white ball went off its intended trajectory, and he missed.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed. ¡°Hahahaha¡ you missed! I still have a chance!¡±
¡°You cheated.¡± Feng Shengyang stared at her.
¡°All is fair in war.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao cheekily stuck out her tongue at him.
Feng Shengyang smiled. Seeing her cute expression, he was amused.
Actually, he had a bad temper and especially hated when people resorted to cheating him. But she didn¡¯t make him feel a single bit of disgust. He even thought that this wretch was pretty interesting.
Mu Xiaoxiao had only to pot thest ball before she could win. So she was very serious and took a while as she aimed.
Just when the cue stick was shoved forward, a figure came toward her.
She had been distracted, and the ball that was shot traveled down the wrong line and didn¡¯t even graze the yellow ball.
¡°You¡ª¡ª¡± She red at the man who had interrupted her.
The man apologized, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I slipped.¡±
Feng Shengyang was very smart. Without dirtying his hand, he shot a look and made the other guy interrupt her.
¡°It¡¯s my turn. It¡¯ll decide the game.¡± Feng Shengyangughed. He picked a position and made a stance. But he didn¡¯t even look at the ball as his scorching gaze fell upon Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°Oh yeah. Did we forget to set the stakes?¡±
Chapter 805 - Going For His Girl? (1)
Chapter 805: Going For His Girl? (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Wager?¡± Mu Xiaoxiaoughed.
Judging from the game, he was probably going to win. Why would she agree to any wager? She wasn¡¯t stupid.
Besides, the game was almost over. Wasn¡¯t it toote to be setting wagers?
She folded her arms at her chest and said, ¡°Just take this as a warm-up. Finish the game first.¡±
Feng Shengyang¡¯s eyes were curved as he smiled. His eyes were still not looking at the table, but he casually shoved the cue stick.
The ball went into the hole.
Mu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. ¡°If you¡¯re that good, who¡¯s gonna bet anything against you?¡±
She had three balls to pot while he had fifteen. Yet, he still won.
If she hadn¡¯t cheated earlier, she would have lost much earlier.
She was now a bit suspicious. Did he throw his first turn on purpose? Otherwise, with his skills, he probably could have easily cleared all the balls, ending the game right then.
She already knew that she wasn¡¯t good at snooker. She only knew the basic techniques. She was far from being able to beat him.
Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t someone who would continue trying to prove herself even when she knew she would lose.
¡°I¡¯m a little tired. So I¡¯m gonna pass on the next round¡¡±
While she was still speaking, the door was suddenly burst open.
A brash voice was heard. ¡°Darling, I will help you win it back!¡±
Hearing this familiar voice, Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned as she looked at Yin Shaojie in disbelief, and eximed, ¡°Why are you here!¡±
Yin Shaojie strode over to her with his long legs. His hot eyes narrowed as he gazed at her. Standing in front of her, he intimately scratched her little nose with his finger.
¡°You¡¯re getting bold, aren¡¯t you? The first day of going back to school and you are already skipping ss and you didn¡¯t even tell me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue. ¡°I didn¡¯t want to skip ss. It¡¯s all¡¡±
She turned her head and red at Feng Shengyang, suggesting that she was innocent and was forced to skip ss. It wasn¡¯t her intention to do it.
¡°Oh yeah. How do you know that I¡¯m here?¡±
She was puzzled. She didn¡¯t even know where she was. How did he find her?
Could it be that he had been tracking her location?
It seemed like the only way to exin it.
¡°I¡¯ll tell you when we get home,¡± Yin Shaojie whispered into her ear.
Mu Xiaoxiao understood and nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±
Yin Shaojie then directed his gaze to Feng Shengyang, standing at the side. Their eyes met as lightning and thunder seemed to fill the atmosphere.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that the atmosphere was odd and worried that Yin Shaojie might be jealous.
She quickly grabbed Yin Shaojie¡¯s hand and said to him, ¡°Do you know this person? He is the hottest idol celebrity currently. His name is Feng Shengyang. I met him at school and was identally taken by him. I guess it¡¯s just some dumb fate!¡±
Fate?
Yin Shaojie was not pleased to hear the mention of that word. When he found out from the bodyguard that followed her that she had skipped ss and that she had left with a handsome guy, he was already boiling with anger. Now, she was even talking about fate, and he was getting even more annoyed.
Why was this wretch always attracting guys?
Feng Shengyang squinted as he watched thempletely ignoring him as they act so lovey-dovey with each other. Though he looked calm and expressionless, his eyes had a certain rageful light in it as if he had his prey had just been snatched away from him.
He said unhurriedly, ¡°Are you Young Master Jie? I¡¯ve been looking forward to meeting you for a long time, but it¡¯s unfortunate we haven¡¯t had the chance to meet.¡±

Yin Shaojie smiled provocatively. ¡°Oh, and who might you be?¡±
Though Mu Xiaoxiao had clearly introduced him just now, but he just wanted to put on a proud front as if he didn¡¯t want to know who he was.
Feng Shengyang¡¯s mouth twitched, and his eyes became dangerous.
Their eyes locked on each other. They were both smart. Needless to say, they both felt hostilitying from each other.
Feng Shengyang deliberately neglected to answer him and said, ¡°Since Young Master Jie is here, why don¡¯t you y a game with me?¡±
¡°Okay, how do you want to y?¡± Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t n to just take Mu Xiaoxiao and leave.
¡°Normal rules with a wager. What do you think?¡±
They exchanged words as if they were crossing swords.
Mu Xiaoxiao watched them curiously from the side.
What kind of situation was this?
She tugged at Yin Shaojie¡¯s hand and whispered in his ear. ¡°He is very good. You really want to y him? What if you lose?¡±
When she finished saying that, Yin Shaojie pinched her cheek punitively.
¡°Ow!¡± She pped his hand away.
¡°Are you looking down on your husband? Me? Lose?¡± Yin Shaojie waggled his brows annoyingly as he red at her, pretending to be angry.
Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her cheek. ¡°But he¡¯s really good¡ I don¡¯t want you¡¡±
To lose face.
Under the re of his eyes, she certainly couldn¡¯t say those words out loud lest the bastard use that as an excuse to punish her again.
¡°Don¡¯t worry. When have you ever seen me lose?¡± Yin Shaojie smiled confidently.
He was her man. How could he lose in front of her?
Besides, with his temper, he would never allow himself to lose to other guys.
Mu Xiaoxiao held his hand nervously. ¡°Can you really win? If you can win, then let¡¯s increase the stakes!¡±
Since he could win, they certainly didn¡¯t need to be scared of the stakes.
¡°What do you want?¡± He looked at her, having a vague feeling that there was a little demon shing in her eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao covered her mouth as she sniggered, not wanting Feng Shengyang to see her evilugh.
She pulled Yin Shaojie aside and said very softly to him, ¡°I have a few friends in the States who are really crazy over him. Don¡¯t we have him here now? If you win, I¡¯ll make him record a few videos, and I¡¯ll send those videos to my friends as a gift. Isn¡¯t Christmasing in about a month¡¯s time? If I send it to them now, they¡¯ll get them just in time, and they definitely be overjoyed!¡±
Yin Shaojieughed, ¡°So you want to use him to do favors without costing yourself, huh?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nudged him with her shoulder and muttered, ¡°Don¡¯t put it that crudely. My friends like him, so they¡¯ll be surprised when they get the gift.¡±
Yin Shaojie now understood why was this wretch had made so many friends in America.
She was the kind of person who cared a lot for her friends. Although she wouldn¡¯t talk about her friends all the time, she always carried them in her heart. Whenever she had something good, she would want to share it with her friends.
She was unlike most people who would only remember their friends when they were lonely or in need of help.
With how sincerely she treated her friends, it was no wonder that her friends would also treat her so well. William was one example.
Actually, that was how people worked. People would be able to sense your sincerity toward them and would naturally reciprocate.
Yin Shaojie stroked her head and said, ¡°Okay, I will work hard for the win, to get gifts for your friends.¡±

¡°Go get ¡¯em!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao waved her fist to cheer on him.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes grew with delight.
Her behavior was indicative that Feng Shengyang wasn¡¯t anyone to her, at most a brief acquaintance
Fortunately, this girl was loyal and wouldn¡¯t easily cheated with other guys.
However, given how unguarded she had been to be so easily brought out of school, he had to give her a spanking when they returned home.
Watching their interaction, Feng Shengyang felt thorns in his eyes.
He didn¡¯t want to continue watching them, so he said, ¡°Young Master Jie, shall we begin? I can¡¯t wait to get started.¡±
Yin Shaojie went over and picked a cue stick. Then he smiled at him and said, ¡°Before we start, shouldn¡¯t we discuss the stakes?¡±
Feng Shengyang didn¡¯t think that he would lose, so he didn¡¯t said bluntly, ¡°Young Master Jie, what would you like to bet then? Actually, I¡¯m simple guy. Money or whatever is too tacky. How about a request?¡±
¡°Whoever wins will be able to request something from the other party? Is that what you mean?¡± Yin Shaojie rified.
¡°Yes, it¡¯s that simple. And the request should be appropriate. Of course, it can¡¯t be something that the other party can¡¯t do.¡±
Feng Shengyang said as he surreptitiously nced at Mu Xiaoxiao.
Yin Shaojie was watching him. ncing to Mu Xiaoxiao at the side, he could pretty much guess who he was targeting.
The corner of his mouth turned chilly.
He dared to set his sights on his girl?
Son of a bitch. Did he wish to court death?
Yin Shaojie nodded, ¡°Alright, that¡¯s settled then. Anyway, it¡¯s just a casual game. Don¡¯t take it too seriously.¡±
As he said this, he deliberately stood in front of Mu Xiaoxiao, preventing Feng Shengyang from seeing her.
Asshole. You¡¯re not gonna catch another glimpse of my girl.
Mu Xiaoxiao was bummed out when he stood in front of her. How could she miss such an exciting duel!
Stop blocking me.
Just as she reached out her hands to push him away, Yin Shaojie countered and grabbed her wrist. Then he led her to the chairs.
Sitting her down in the chair, he grabbed the armrests on both sides, leaned down and gazed at her. ¡°You just sit here and cheer me on, got it?¡±
With that said, he ignored everyone else at the scene and bent down to peck her on her lips.
Mu Xiaoxiao blushed with shame. Red-faced, she pushed his chest and said, ¡°What are you doing? Jeez!¡±
Yin Shaojieughed sinisterly and said, ¡°This is how you cheer me on. If you see that I¡¯m about to lose, remember toe and kiss me. This way, I¡¯ll be rejuvenated, got it?¡±
What kind of reasoning¡
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him funnily.
Yin Shaojie just liked seeing the way she looked at him with those crystal, bright eyes. He could see his reflection in her eyes.
There could only be one person in her eyes.
He liked it this way.
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help but feel like kissing her again though he didn¡¯t really want to kiss her in front of others and let them catch a glimpse of how demure and cute she looked after being kissed.
Just when his thin lips were about to reach her, Mu Xiaoxiao bashfully blocked him with her palm.
¡°Alright. Go and y already. Win the game first.¡±
Yin Shaojie seemed slightly disappointed but he held up her hand and kissed it. ¡°Okay then. When I win remember to give me a big, big reward.¡±
The way he said ¡®reward¡¯ sounded quite suggestive.

His eyes were also curved slightly. It was obvious as to what they were hinting at.
Now that she had recovered, could shepensate him for feeling ignored by her for these few days?
Mu Xiaoxiao was afraid the others would pick up on his innuendos, and she quickly pushed him and said, ¡°Okay! Finish the game first!¡±
Anyways, even if she didn¡¯t nod in assent, how could she do anything to resist him if he wanted to do anything to her at night in bed?
Why else would he want to work for a reward if it was not to have her to take the initiative?
Recalling thest time she had taken the initiative, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but blush.
Yin Shaojie smiled and got up. Mu Xiaoxiao fanned her cheek with her palm to dissipate the heat.
A guy who came to y with Feng Shengyang read the situation and asked, ¡°Miss, you just yed a game. Are you thirsty? Would you like to order some drinks?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t expect that she could ce orders, so she nodded and said, ¡°Okay, is there a menu? Let me see.¡±
How could she not have some popcorn to go with the exciting uing showdown!
¡°Is there popcorn?¡± she asked.
The man paused, and he looked awkward as he said, ¡°Popcorn? I don¡¯t think so¡¡±
It wasn¡¯t a movie theater. Why would there be popcorn?
But her expression was too easy to read. She was totally looking like she was there to watch a show, and the man¡¯s mouth twitched.
He held up the menu in his hands and said sycophantically, ¡°You can just tell me what you would like to order.¡±
¡°Okay, thank you!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked up and saw that the duel was about to start. Not wasting anytime, she randomly flipped through the menu and ordered some drinks and snacks.
When she returned the menu, the game started.
Unlike the previous game she yed, the two were ying using regr snooker rules this time.
Mu Xiaoxiao cracked melon seeds as she watched the ultimate showdown.
It was really no exaggeration to call it an ultimate showdown.
Even Ah Qi, the third-ranked nationalpetitor at the side was enthralled as he watched the table unblinkingly.
As the number of balls on the table decreased, Mu Xiaoxiao was also getting nervous just spectating, and she didn¡¯t even have the mind to eat the melon seeds or potato chips anymore.
The other guy was counting the scores at one side.
There were still three balls left. Whoever could pot in two would win.
It was now Yin Shaojie¡¯s turn.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, so she ran up to cheer him on. ¡°You must win!¡±
Watching as she held up her small fist, he smirked and gestured to her, ¡°Give me a piece.¡±
What?
Mu Xiaoxiao looked in the direction of his gaze and saw the potato chips in her hand. Did he want to have some chips?
¡°Do you want this?¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded.
Mu Xiaoxiao took a piece and brought it to his mouth.
Yin Shaojie took the piece into his mouth and even licked her finger.
As if she was shocked by electricity, she abruptly withdrew her hand, and she red at him bashfully.
The two men by the side coughed awkwardly at the sight of this scene.
However, Feng Shengyang¡¯s eyes were looking grave.
Yin Shaojieughed faintly at her. ¡°I¡¯m thirsty.¡±
¡°Oh!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao quickly turned around to get him water.
Then she heard the sound of colliding balls followed by the sound of a ball entering the pocket.
When she turned back, he had already potted a ball.
In other words, he would win if he scored the next one?!
Chapter 809 - Going For His Girl? (5)
Chapter 809: Going For His Girl? (5)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao eagerly took the drink to him and cheered him on, ¡°Your water¡¯s here. Drink it quickly and go get ¡¯em!¡±
Haha, one more ball and they would win!
He was definitely worthy of being her man!
She watched Feng Shengyang gleefully, looking absolutely delighted.
On the other hand, Feng Shengyang wasn¡¯t looking too happy. He had always been a proud one, and he took great pride in the games he yed as he hardly lost to anyone. However, they were quite an even match. Yin Shaojie was indeed a strong opponent.
Moreover¡ He watched the both of them before him.
After Yin Shaojie had arrived, Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to only have eyes for Yin Shaojie. She didn¡¯t even spared him a nce.
Feng Shengyang had never been so neglected by any girls before. It was like she had totally disregarded him.
Yin Shaojie shot Feng Shengyang a nce, smiling as he said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Hold it for me to drink.¡±
Of course, Mu Xiaoxiao wouldn¡¯t refuse him, and she went up to serve him, holding the water for him to drink.
¡°Very good,¡± Yin Shaojiemended her and patted her head.
¡°You must win, okay!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao eyes sparkled as she cheered him on.
Smiling, Yin Shaojie moved to a different position and bent over. He shoved the cue stick with precision, and the ball was potted!
¡°Yay! We win! We win!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao cheered and ran up to hug him.
Yin Shaojiebed her bangs, and hisrge hand wrapping her slender waist.
¡°I¡¯ll let you have the next shot.¡±
Yin Shaojie said it confidently. He threw the cue stick to one side, and with arms around her, he walked Mu Xiaoxiao to the chair.
Feng Shengyang¡¯s face turned ashen upon hearing his deration.
He was going to let him?
Feng Shengyang had never been looked down before!
¡°I¡¯ve lost this game.¡± he said, after calming himself down, as if it did not matter. He seemed like he still wanted another match to take his revenge.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly said, ¡°You lost. Should you be holding up your end of the bet?¡±
Feng Shengyang stuck a hand in his pocket, maintaining the cool pose as he asked her, ¡°So what do you want me to do?¡±
This was the first time he took a proper look at the girl before him.
She was bursting with energy, her ck eyes were shining brightly with joy. It entuated her beautiful face, and made it hard for him to look away. He just wanted to watch her quietly as though it she could infect him with her happiness.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled mischievously and said, ¡°It¡¯s very simple. I have a few friends who are your fans. You can help me record a few videos and send it to them individually. That¡¯s it.¡±
Feng Shengyang didn¡¯t expect her request to be so simple, and he even stared nkly for a moment. ¡°That¡¯s all?¡±
¡°Yes!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, smiling brightly as though she was especially happy.
As Feng Shengyang watched her eyes, he couldn¡¯t help but look down andugh.
Who would have thought that the daughter of the legendary Mu family would be contented with such a simple request.
He nodded and said, ¡°Okay. You can tell me their names. Then I will record for each one of them.¡±
¡°Thanks then!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled, her eyes turning into crescents.
Feng Shengyang couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Are you very close friends with them? If you want, you can ask them out and I can meet them.¡±
With his personality, he had never even assented to any richdies paying high prices to ask him out for a meal.
She was the first to make him so servile.
¡°That¡¯s not necessary. They aren¡¯t in China, so it¡¯s not very convenient.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled, waving her hand to decline his offer.
Chapter 810 - Going For His Girl? (6)

But she knew that if she were to tell her friends in America about this, they would probably be d to take a ne here just to meet him.
After Feng Shengyang came down from his high horse and offered to do these things for her, she actually rejected him. His face was ashen.
How many crazy fans of his would dly take a flight from overseas just to attend his meet-and-greet sessions.
To hide his darkened expression from her, Feng Shengyang quickly adjusted himself.
¡°That¡¯s quite a pity. Next time then.¡±
¡°Yeah! Okay!¡±
Feng Shengyang looked at her and said, ¡°Why not add me to your WeChat? Then you can send me the names of your friends lest I forget.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought it was reasonable, and she was just about to nod her head.
But when Yin Shaojie heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he interrupted, saying, ¡°That¡¯s not necessary, is it? It¡¯s only a few names. For a big celebrity like you who always need to remember lyrics and what have you, remembering a few names shouldn¡¯t be a problem, right? ¡±
¡°Actually, it¡¯s only three names.¡± However, with Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s line of thought, she had no problems with adding him on WeChat.
However, she knew, of course, that Yin Shaojie must be jealous, and he didn¡¯t want her to have another guy¡¯s WeChat.
If she were him, she also wouldn¡¯t want him to be adding other girls on WeChat.
So after some thought, she said to Feng Shengyang, ¡°Let¡¯s not use WeChat then. I¡¯ll write down the names for you.¡±
Feng Shengyang nodded with a fake smile. ¡°Sure, but if you don¡¯t give me a way to contact you, how am I supposed to send you the videos?¡±
¡°Oh, yeah¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao thought he made sense, and she got annoyed as she looked to Yin Shaojie for a solution.
Yin Shaojie bit his lower lip. ¡°Add mine then.¡±
In any case, this wretch must not be allowed to add this ill-intentioned guy.
¡°Sure.¡± Feng Shengyang didn¡¯t say anything more this time.
So the two added each other as friends.
After adding friends, Feng Shengyang could tell that Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t want to y another game. Any smart person would not allow the other party a chance to make aeback.
He smiled and said, ¡°I have always heard that Young Master Jie is very good with racing. Why don¡¯t we pick a day to have a race?¡±
He could not restrain himself from getting fired up upon meeting a strong opponent.
Yin Shaojie smirked. ¡°Another time maybe. I¡¯m sorry, we have to go now. Enjoy your games.¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Feng Shengyang said magnanimously. ¡°Take care.¡±
Yin Shaojie left the booth with his arms around Mu Xiaoxiao.
As soon as the door closed, Feng Shengyang¡¯s face turned grim and he kicked the table leg.
¡°Yin Shaojie¡¡±
It seemed that he had really met an opponent that he couldn¡¯t underestimate this time.
Feng Shengyang furrowed his brows in contemtion. Even Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to be unaffected by his flirtations. To a master flirt like him, it waspletely uneptable.
He finally understood what Su Lin meant.
Mu Xiaoxiao was sure enough not an ordinary girl¡
Feng Shengyang smiled enigmatically.
But wouldn¡¯t the game be more interesting like this?
Just then, his cell phone rang.
Su Lin¡¯s name appeared on the screen.
After letting the cell phone rang for a while, he slowly answered the call.
¡°Hello, Linlin. Do you miss me?¡± He said in a frivolous and flirtatious manner as if he had said the same thing to many girls.
¡°Have you been to Shangde to find Mu Xiaoxiao? What did you do to her?¡± Su Lin asked. There was jealousy in her tone.
Chapter 811 - Wanting to Be Pacified (1)

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Feng Shengyangughed, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you already? What? Now you¡¯re jealous?¡±
Su Lin was silent for a moment. ¡°Then¡ are you with her now? How is it going?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not going well.¡± Feng Shengyang simply sat on the billiard table, took out a cigarette from his pocket and held it in his mouth. As he recalled what happened earlier, his eyes narrowed dangerously.
It was much more troublesome than he had first expected.
However¡
Feng Shengyang smirked. It was more interesting than he had expected.
It had been a long time since he came across something so interesting that it made him excited.
From his tone, it seemed like Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t matter much to him. Thus, Su Lin felt relieved to hear that. Then her voice returned to the usual charming manner as she said, ¡°I told you Mu Xiaoxiao isn¡¯t so easy to seduce. Seems like you still need to work on your charm.¡±
¡°Yeah. What am I supposed to do? I¡¯m so sad now. Linlin, can youfort me?¡± Feng Shengyang said in a humorous, self-deprecating manner, and he even tried to flirt with her.
Su Lin seemed to hesitate for a while. ¡°Well¡e and visit me then. You said you were going toe and visit me thest time, but you didn¡¯te. I thought you were only thinking of Mu Xiaoxiao and had forgotten about me.¡±
¡°How is that possible? Of course, you are the only one I care about. She¡¯s nothing to me.¡± Feng Shengyang casually said some moving words.
But it was quite effective on Su Lin, as she said delightedly, ¡°Come over now then. You can also join me for lunch, okay?¡±
¡°Okay, but¡ I think I should remind you. What are you gonna do about the n? Yin Shaojie has just taken Mu Xiaoxiao back. From the looks of them, they will probably have an intimate ¡®exchange¡¯ soon. Should you consider for a moment if this is the time to strike?¡± Feng Shengyang pretended to be thoughtful as he reminded her.
Sure enough, Su Lin contemted for some time. ¡°Well okay then¡ I¡¯ll see what I can do.¡±
Feng Shengyang puffed out a mouthful of smoke as he stared out the window. Then he said softly, ¡°Linlin, have you ever thought about giving up on Yin Shaojie? They seem verypatible and don¡¯t look like a pair that you can just tear apart. Seeing how invested you are¡ I¡¯m afraid that you may get hurt. It will ache my heart.¡±
After some thought, he added, ¡°But, I guess I can understand why you feel this way. When I met Yin Shaojie today, he was indeed a powerful man. Even I lost to him. It is no wonder you are so fascinated by him.¡±
¡°You¡ You lost to him?¡± Su Lin asked surprisingly.
¡°Yeah, hees from a better family background. He¡¯s better than me in all aspects. And he¡¯s even faithful in love. So I don¡¯t me you for being so fond of him and choosing him instead of me,¡± Feng Shengyang continued saying as he wore an enigmatic smile.
Su Lin hesitated for a moment, ¡°T-that¡¯s not how it is¡ I don¡¯t like him because of all that. I only like him as a person. You¡¯re great too. Don¡¯t say things like that. It aches my heart.¡±
¡°Okay, I¡¯ll stop talking. I¡¯ll be waiting for your good news.¡±
Feng Shengyang then hung up the phone, his eyes narrowed behind the veil of smoke, looking crafty.
The two men at the side watched him in wonder. They only felt that this person was tooplicated and too hard to read.
Why would hepliment his love rival?
Was he deliberately giving up the girl he fancied to the other party?

Girls were all vain to some degree. If you told a girl that you were inferior to your love rival, she would of course be interested in your rival.
The two men exchanged nces.
Feng Shengyang motioned to one of them to arrange the balls on the table, and he said to them, ¡°Okay, you guys can go out.¡±
¡°Okay, Young Master Feng.¡±
The two went out.
Outside of the room.
¡°What do you think this Young Master Feng is up to?¡± Having seen all kinds of people, Young Master Feng was the hardest person to read.
¡°Who knows. But think about it, Young Master Feng is such a yer. Have you ever seen him get serious about any girl? The more he tters a girl with sweet words, the less serious he is with her.¡±
¡°Indeed, Young Master Feng is not someone we can understand.¡±
¡
Meanwhile.
Mu Xiaoxiao got into Yin Shaojie¡¯s car. She thought she was going back to school, but it seemed like they were headed back for the condominium instead.
¡°Aren¡¯t we going back to school?¡± she turned to ask him.
Yin Shaojie gave her a meaningful look. ¡°What for? Don¡¯t you like skipping sses? Then I shall skip sses with you lest you find other men to skip sses with.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or cry, ¡°I really had no intention of skipping sses this time¡¡±
Although she didn¡¯t want to run, she really hadn¡¯t been nning on skipping sses. She was only forced into doing it!
¡°Aiyoh, I don¡¯t even know how to exin this to you. It¡¯s all so weird. Didn¡¯t I tell you that I met Feng Shengyang in the equipment room? For some reason, he just led me by the nose and I took him to that ce we used for escaping. Then¡ I was dragged down by him. We bumped into his fans, and then¡¡±
She didn¡¯t want him to misunderstand, so she talked about how it all happened so that he would understand that she was really innocent.
At the red light, with one hand on the steering wheel, Yin Shaojie turned to look at her, reached out and pinched her cheek before asking, ¡°So you just went into his car obediently? Didn¡¯t you think for a moment that he might sell you off?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought it was funny. ¡°How is that possible! I know that he isn¡¯t a bad person.¡±
¡°You know?¡± Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you only found out his true identity when you got in his car? How do you know that he isn¡¯t a bad person?¡±
Besides, would a bad guy be so kind to write ¡®Bad Guy¡¯ on his own face?
Mu Xiaoxiao tapped on her lips as she thought before saying, ¡°How should I put it? It¡¯s just an intuition. I don¡¯t think he is a bad person and I knew that he wouldn¡¯t hurt me. Otherwise, why would I just follow a stranger?¡±
Displeased, Yin Shaojie red at her, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that you also did this back in America?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled and raised her eyebrows as if she had remembered something.
¡°I guess I did¡ I have some friends whom I met in some unexpected circumstances, and we became good friends afterwards. Don¡¯t worry, my instincts are very urate!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t care if it¡¯s urate!¡± Yin Shaojie really wanted to hit her little head.
¡°Aiyoh, stop treating me like a three-year-old. I know how to differentiate a good guy from a bad guy.¡±
The light turned green. Before starting off the car, Yin Shaojie shot her a look and said, ¡°So you think that Feng Shengyang is a good person?¡±
It seemed to him that Feng Shengyang was quite an odd person. He didn¡¯t look like a good person.
¡°Probably. At least he isn¡¯t a bad person,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged and said.
Yin Shaojie said helplessly, ¡°Even if you think that the guy isn¡¯t a bad person, you can¡¯t just go with a stranger. I¡¯ll be worried.¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or cry, ¡°I really had no intention of skipping sses this time¡¡±
Although she didn¡¯t want to run, she really hadn¡¯t been nning on skipping sses. She was only forced into doing it!
¡°Aiyoh, I don¡¯t even know how to exin this to you. It¡¯s all so weird. Didn¡¯t I tell you that I met Feng Shengyang in the equipment room? For some reason, he just led me by the nose and I took him to that ce we used for escaping. Then¡ I was dragged down by him. We bumped into his fans, and then¡¡±
She didn¡¯t want him to misunderstand, so she talked about how it all happened so that he would understand that she was really innocent.
At the red light, with one hand on the steering wheel, Yin Shaojie turned to look at her, reached out and pinched her cheek before asking, ¡°So you just went into his car obediently? Didn¡¯t you think for a moment that he might sell you off?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought it was funny. ¡°How is that possible! I know that he isn¡¯t a bad person.¡±
¡°You know?¡± Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you only found out his true identity when you got in his car? How do you know that he isn¡¯t a bad person?¡±
Besides, would a bad guy be so kind to write ¡®Bad Guy¡¯ on his own face?
Mu Xiaoxiao tapped on her lips as she thought before saying, ¡°How should I put it? It¡¯s just an intuition. I don¡¯t think he is a bad person and I knew that he wouldn¡¯t hurt me. Otherwise, why would I just follow a stranger?¡±
Displeased, Yin Shaojie red at her, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that you also did this back in America?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled and raised her eyebrows as if she had remembered something.
¡°I guess I did¡ I have some friends whom I met in some unexpected circumstances, and we became good friends afterwards. Don¡¯t worry, my instincts are very urate!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t care if it¡¯s urate!¡± Yin Shaojie really wanted to hit her little head.
¡°Aiyoh, stop treating me like a three-year-old. I know how to differentiate a good guy from a bad guy.¡±
The light turned green. Before starting off the car, Yin Shaojie shot her a look and said, ¡°So you think that Feng Shengyang is a good person?¡±
It seemed to him that Feng Shengyang was quite an odd person. He didn¡¯t look like a good person.
¡°Probably. At least he isn¡¯t a bad person,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged and said.
Yin Shaojie said helplessly, ¡°Even if you think that the guy isn¡¯t a bad person, you can¡¯t just go with a stranger. I¡¯ll be worried.¡±

If it wasn¡¯t for him secretly following her, worried that she might get caught up in something bad, he wouldn¡¯t have found out that she had been taken away.
Did this wretch have no interest in her own safety?
Mu Xiaoxiao saw from the look of him that he was angry with her. She was going retort at him at first, but then realizing she was indeed at fault, she said, ¡°Okay, okay, I was wrong. Don¡¯t be angry, okay?¡±
Plus, wasn¡¯t it quite interesting that they met a celebrity so coincidentally?
Yin Shaojie nced at her. ¡°When we get back, I¡¯m going to spank your little ass! I must teach you a lesson, otherwise, you¡¯ll never remember it.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was red. ¡°You¡¯re mental! I¡¯m not a child, why do you have to spank¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry. After I spank you, I¡¯ll give you a massage and kiss you,¡± he joked.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but picture the scene as he described, and her face burned red.
¡°Mental! Don¡¯t think about it! I don¡¯t want to go home. Hurry and send me back to school. I want to go back to ss!¡±
She decided that she would rather be a good student!
Yin Shaojie snorted at her, saying, ¡°You went in someone else¡¯s car and obediently went along with him. But now that you¡¯re in my car, you wanna get out?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She realized that this childish guy was just being angry with her.
She pursed her lips as she thought about how she should pacify him.
Just then, Yin Shaojie¡¯s phone rang.
He took a look, then his eyes stopped for a moment, and he hung up the call.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t see who called, so she couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Why did you hang up the call?¡±
¡°Am I not driving? It¡¯s not convenient to answer the phone. Sit back into your seat! Be good!¡± Seeing her head leaning toward him, he shouted at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao ttened her mouth and sat back in her seat. Reminded of something, she said, ¡°Since it¡¯s almost school dismissal time, why don¡¯t we go for a meal outside before going back home?¡±
There wasn¡¯t any food back in their apartment. They would have to call for takeout again.
She watched as he said nothing, only looking ahead.
Mu Xiaoxiao sped at her stomach, looking pitiful as she said. ¡°Jie, I¡¯m starving. I wanna eat something.¡±
Yin Shaojie finally cast her a nce and said helplessly, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go eat, you good-for-nothing chowhound!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled mischievously. She nned how she was going to pacify himter at the meal so that he wouldn¡¯t spank her when they got back home.
In order to facilitate her n, she chose to go to a luxury restaurant with private rooms.
¡
In the private room of the restaurant.
After cing the orders, the waiter went out.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly stood up and went to lock the door.
Yin Shaojie squinted at her as though he was guessing what she was up to.
However, he was looking calm as though he didn¡¯t notice the crafty look in her eyes.
The corner of his mouth turned up stealthily in a smile.
Just what was this wretch trying to do?
He waited expectantly. Then he watched as she walked up to him, cing her slender little hand on his shoulder, and as if in a deliberately manner, it slid down and gently stroked his chest.
Yin Shaojie raised his brows. Was this wretch trying to seduce him? In a ce like this?
He quietly watched how she would proceed.
Walking behind him, Mu Xiaoxiao wrapped her arms around his shoulder, her hands at his chest.
¡°You haven¡¯t told me yet, how did you find me at that ce? Are you tracking my location using my cell phone? Tell me now!¡± She blew air at his ear.

Yin Shaojie faced forward, not looking at her. Calm and unruffled, Yin Shaojie picked up the cup and slowly sipped from it. Then he said, ¡°Why would I do it if not to keep you safe? I was afraid that you may get kidnapped again like you did thest time.¡±
He had been tracking her location using her phone. But if her cell phone was destroyed or lost, it would be useless. So this wasn¡¯t a very safe method.
As to him sending someone to secretly follow her, he chose to tell her now lest this girl be upset again.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that it was unfair. ¡°What about you? You can find out my location, but I can¡¯t find out about yours. Isn¡¯t this unfair?¡±
With that said, her little hand spread open in front of him.
¡°Hand over the cell phone, I want to set up location tracking on your cell phone.¡±
Now she would also be able to find out the ces he went.
Yin Shaojie chuckled, and he took out the cell phone in an easy manner and put it in her hand.
Mu Xiaoxiao fiddled with the cell phone, but she had no idea how to set up the location tracking. She was instantly frustrated and shot him a look, ¡°How do I do it? You do it!¡±
Yin Shaojie shrugged, ¡°You wanted to do it. Of course, you should be the one to do it.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pped his chest in a huff. ¡°Do you not want me to know the ces you go?¡±
¡°Am I not letting you set up the tracking thing now? Why are you ming me if you don¡¯t know how to do it?¡± Yin Shaojie said flippantly without even looking at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him from the side, wondering if he was still mad at her.
Otherwise, he would usually help her with whatever she wanted to do. He wouldn¡¯t be acting like this.
¡°Then can you install it for me?¡± She took a gentler approach and was just reminded that she had intended to pacify him.
Yin Shaojie then cast a sidelong nce at her and hinted to her, saying, ¡°It depends on your performance.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused and immediately picked up on his hint.
Did he want her to¡
She puffed up her cheeks, bent her head down and ced her face right next to his. She rubbed her face beside his before kissing him on the face, sticking to him like a little pet.
¡°We are out in public¡¡± she whispered in his ear.
Yin Shaojie touched her little hand, smirking as he said, ¡°This is how I can tell if you¡¯re sincere, right?¡±
If she wanted to pacify him how could she do it without sincerity?
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. Then, impetuously, she went in front of him and straddled him.
Her little hands held his elegant face, and she leaned forward, their nose pressing against each other.
Yin Shaojie wore a sexy smile, keeping still as he waited for her to make the move.
Mu Xiaoxiao leaned her body on his, striking a posture to kiss him.
However, Yin Shaojie deliberately leaned backward and she missed.
¡°What are you doing?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him annoyed. She was already taking the initiative, but he actually dodged her?
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes, not quite contented as he said, ¡°That¡¯s it?¡±
He didn¡¯t want just a little kiss on the mouth.
Mu Xiaoxiao curled her lips. ¡°Then what do you want?¡±
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, how can you still im to be a smart student? Don¡¯t you know how to apply what you learned?¡± He pulled her in, hooking her waist with one hand, he breathed warm breaths in her ear. And he said in a deep, husky voice, ¡°Can¡¯t you just do to me whatever I did on you before?¡±
Hugging his shoulders, Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly.
Whatever that he had done¡ on her?

Shameful images flitted through her mind, and her cheeks suffused with red tint.
¡°We¡¯re in public!¡± She pped his chest.
Although she had locked the door, what if the waiter had the keys to enter and serve the food?
Yin Shaojie pretended he was hurting and groaned as he sped at his chest. ¡°You¡¯re not even sincere. Forget it. Get down.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him as she massaged his chest with her little hand.
¡°Why are you so mean¡¡±
Though she wasining, her hand wasn¡¯t stopping. After kneading the spot where he was hit, her little hand went down to the hem of his shirt and quietly slid beneath it.
cing her palm on his well-defined abs, the chunks of hardness sent Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart into eleration.
This bastard¡¯s body was really quite exceptional.
The mere thought of seeing it in the nude strangely made her feel dry in the throat.
Suddenly¡ there was a great urge to kiss his body.
Realizing what she was thinking, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart beat frantically, and her cheeks felt even hotter.
Oh goodness, she was really getting corrupted by his wicked thoughts!
But the more corrupted she became, the impulse in her grew stronger.
Her little hand continued upward as if with its own mind as she imagined his body, his seductive V-line, and his sturdy¡
She swallowed her saliva.
Yin Shaojie looked at her amused. The look of her enthralled with him had an effect on him.
It seemed that his body was arousing her¡ lust?
A good sign!
Yin Shaojie saw that she was touching him quite awkwardly, and he kindly reminded her, saying, ¡°You can unbutton my shirt. It¡¯ll be convenient.¡±
Moreover, she couldn¡¯t just stop at touching it, right?
Mu Xiaoxiao paused, her head looking down, as she didn¡¯t dare to look into his eyes.
But her hand obediently unbuttoned his shirt.
One button. Two buttons. Three buttons¡
His strong and muscr chest was exposed before her.
Mu Xiaoxiao leaned forward unthinkingly as she could only feel the air filled with his manly scent. The richness of his scent sent her heart racing.
Yin Shaojie looked down at her, his eyes gazing deeply.
If he wasn¡¯t holding himself back, he would probably have pressed her head down so she could stop dawdling and kiss him already.
This girl was just too slow!
It was truly tormenting.
Seeing that she was still not moving, Yin Shaojie said in a low, husky voice to rush her, ¡°Quickly.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. She finally leaned closer to him and her moist mouth pressed itself on his chest. And her tongue stroked his corbone as if she were trying a delicacy.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s throat was tense as it worked itself up and down. His gaze was grew deeper as he watched her.
He finally understood what a tsundere was!
Mu Xiaoxiao could feel his body trembling, and his strong chest muscles tensing up. Somehow, it was quite fascinating for her.
In the spur of the moment, she loitered over his body, leaving multiple watery marks on him.
Her hands even scratched him as she felt his waist.
Yin Shaojie fidgeted from the painful scratches, and he grabbed her offending hands, forbidding her to do that.
¡°Be serious,¡± he said huskily.
Mu Xiaoxiao snorted, but her mouth was still working, moving down from his cor bone, to his chest muscles, and just as it was going to his mouth¡
Knock knock! Just then, someone suddenly knocked at the door.

Mu Xiaoxiao stopped and looked bashfully at him. ¡°What now?¡±
¡°Continue, ignore her!¡± Yin Shaojie ordered her impatiently.
However, there was knocking again, and the waiter said, ¡°Dear guests, the food is here.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao instinctively stood up from him.
But Yin Shaojie pressed her down, his eyes scorching as he stared at her. ¡°No! Continue.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao curled her lips, and with a pointed nce to the door, she said, ¡°How can I continue? Let them serve the dishes first, alright? Otherwise, if we let them wait like this¡ won¡¯t they then know what we are doing?¡±
She quickly pushed his hand away and got down from him.
Yin Shaojie red at her, his eyes grudging and angry.
Mu Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue and thoughtfully buttoned up his shirt as she said, ¡°I told you we are in public. It¡¯s inconvenient.¡±
They couldn¡¯t just keep them outside the whole time, right?
Impatiently biting his lip, Yin Shaojie pinched her chin and aggressively leaned in to kiss her. He went a whole round, licking the innards of her mouth before letting her go.
¡°Just you wait!¡±
After the waiter served the dishes, no one would be able to bother them anymore.
When he released her, Mu Xiaoxiao quickly got down from him and hurried to the door. She eased off the heat from her face before opening the door for the waiter.
Looking oblivious, the waiter kept a professional smile on his face, bent his head and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry to disturb.¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine You can serve the dishes.¡±
Waiter nodded and continued to serve up the dishes.
Sitting opposite of Yin Shaojie, Mu Xiaoxiao grabbed the food one after another just as they were served up and ate happily.
When the dishes were served, and the waiters exited, she still continued to eat as if she had forgotten what just happened.
Yin Shaojie propped up his chin in one hand and stared at her, and he knocked meaningfully on the table. ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up at him. ¡°I¡¯m hungry. Let me eat first, alright? If not, I won¡¯t have the strength.¡±
Seeing her eat like a glutton as though she was really hungry, he stopped bothering her and allowed her to continue eating.
After a while, Mu Xiaoxiao nced at him again and said quizzically, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you eating? Aren¡¯t you hungry?¡±
¡°I am.¡± Yin Shaojie replied, his eyes locked on to hers.
¡°Then why aren¡¯t you eating?¡±
Yin Shaojie smirked and said, ¡°I¡¯m waiting for you to feed me.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Yin Shaojie took a sip of water and said unhurriedly, ¡°You should have eaten your fill, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then she got up and walked over to him. She picked the food with his chopsticks and delivered it into his mouth.
¡°That¡¯s it?¡± Yin Shaojie squinted, looking dissatisfied. With a stretch of his arms, he pulled her toward him and made her sit on hisp. ¡°That¡¯s better.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or cry. ¡°Don¡¯t you care if the food drops on you?¡±
¡°That¡¯s why you can¡¯t feed me like this. You gotta do it like this.¡± Yin Shaojie stroked her lips with his finger, hinting very obviously.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. Did he want her to feed him with her mouth?
This is just too¡
¡°That¡¯s too unhygienic!¡± she retorted.
¡°How is it unhygienic? It¡¯s not like you haven¡¯t eaten my saliva before.¡± Yin Shaojie snorted. Then he took the chopsticks from her hand, picked up a piece of fish. Holding it with his mouth, he brought the fish to her mouth to do a demonstration.
Mu Xiaoxiao was amused from the way he was acting. ¡°You look like a dog. Haha!¡±
Chapter 817 - Not Officially Broken Up (1)
Chapter 817: Not Officially Broken Up (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Like a dog?¡± Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t too happy hearing that.
This wretch dared to say he looked like a dog?
Was there a dog in this world that was as handsome as him?
Seeing that she wasn¡¯t going to receive the piece of fish from him, he felt the need to punish her. He put the piece of fish in his mouth, and pressed his lips on hers.
¡°Hey¡ªUmmhh!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was fed by him, her mouth tasted like fish. Though the fish had already been cooked and wasn¡¯t too fishy, it still tasted weird.
¡°Why did you have to pick the fish!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was forced to swallow the fish. She red at him angrily, making a fist with her little hand before pounding his chest.
¡°The fish was just there. So what do you want to eat? No, it should be your turn to feed me now.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t wanna feed you like this.¡±
¡°Then how do you want to feed me?¡±
The two were ying in the room. Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t really want to do anything to her here. After all, they were in public, and he didn¡¯t want to be interrupted like just now.
Mu Xiaoxiao pushed him. ¡°Alright, enough of this. I¡¯m gonna go eat.¡±
With that said, she jumped down from hisp and was going to go back to her seat.
¡°You can sit here.¡± Yin Shaojie grabbed her hand, refusing to let her go.
Mu Xiaoxiao just went along with it and sat beside him.
Just then, Yin Shaojie¡¯s phone rang. The screen lit up, and a new message appeared on the screen.
Yin Shaojie nced at it instinctively. There was no identification to it but he remembered who the number belonged to.
It was Su Lin.
The message said¡
Yin Shaojie furrowed his brows slightly. Just then, another message was received.
He reached out and put the cell phone in his pocket. Then he stood up.
¡°Wait for me here. I¡¯ll go out for a while.¡± He stroked Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s head catingly before heading out from the room.
Mu Xiaoxiao watched as he left, feeling puzzled. Then she turned back and continued eating.
Outside the room, Yin Shaojie went to a corner and dialed a number.
A few minutester, he returned to the room and walked to Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s side. He kissed her forehead and said, ¡°I have to go somewhere now. It¡¯s quite urgent. I will spare you for now, but I¡¯ll punish youter at night. Just finish your meal, and I will get someone to send you back to school.¡±
He also told her to not to go anywhere in the school, but to stay with Han Qiqing and the others at the Student Union building.
Mu Xiaoxiao grabbed his arm and asked quizzically, ¡°Are you leaving now?¡±
He had not even eaten with her yet. What could be so urgent?
¡°You can take your time to enjoy your meal. I¡¯ll pay for the bill on my way out. You can go after eating your fill.¡± Yin Shaojie said, holding her hand before leaving.
Though it seemed quite odd to her, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t give it a second thought.
When Yin Shaojie had left for some time, Mu Xiaoxiao, who had been eating happily, seemed like she didn¡¯t want to eat anymore. She fiddled with the dishes with her chopsticks, slowlying to a rest.
Actually, she hadn¡¯t eaten her fill yet. She had a big appetite earlier. But now that Yin Shaojie was suddenly gone, her appetite was somehow vanishing.
Perhaps she was ustomed to having meals with him. So now that she was eating alone, she felt lonely instead.
Mu Xiaoxiao seldom experienced such ack of appetite. She really didn¡¯t want to force herself to continue eating, and so she put down the chopsticks.
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
¡°Come in,¡± she said, thinking it was a waiter.
Chapter 818 - Not Officially Broken Up (2)
Chapter 818: Not Officially Broken Up (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
If it was Yin Shaojie, he wouldn¡¯t have knocked so politely.
Sure enough, it was the waiter who entered to serve the fruits and desserts.
But Mu Xiaoxiao seemed apathetic, looking listless even when she saw her favorite strawberries.
¡°What a coincidence, seems like fate likes to bring us together,¡± a pleasant male voice said.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head and saw Feng Shengyang.
She was surprised. ¡°Why are you here?¡±
Feng Shengyang smiled as he went to sit opposite of her. ¡°I¡¯m here to eat, of course.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao then realized that a man, who looked like his manager, followed behind him. But with a gesture from Feng Shengyang, the man left the room.
Feng Shengyang took a look at the dishes on the table and said in amazement, ¡°You eat this much alone? Where is Young Master Jie? Isn¡¯t he with you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao squinted at him and said jokingly, ¡°Why does it feel like you are more interested in him?¡±
Feng Shengyang actually nodded.
¡°Yeah, I¡¯m interested in him.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was going to eat the piece of watermelon she had just grabbed when she was startled by his response. The watermelon sttered onto the table.
She looked at him incredulously. ¡°You¡ You¡¯re not¡¡±
He didn¡¯t like men, did he?
Feng Shengyang knew that she had misunderstood him, but he deliberately neglected to correct her, and he evenmented, ¡°This is also the first time I have lost to somebody. Young Master Jie is really as strong as the rumors say.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Having a good look at Feng Shengyang¡¯s demonic air of charm, he seemed very likely to have preferences for men.
Feng Shengyang asked, ¡°Is Young Master Jie your boyfriend? When did you start dating?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled slyly without answering him.
She didn¡¯t like to tell others about her personal life. Moreover, they weren¡¯t very close friends, were they?
After mistaking what he meant, it seemed even more likely to her that he was deliberately inquiring about Yin Shaojie.
The thought that someone was thinking about her own boyfriend was a¡
Seeing that she had not answered him, he didn¡¯t press the issue.
He said, ¡°Can I eat with you? It¡¯s quite boring to eat alone.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought, Didn¡¯t your managere with you?
Was he going to just leave the manager outside?
But seeing that there were so many dishes on my table that hadn¡¯t been touched, it seemed quite wasteful so she didn¡¯t refuse him.
¡°If you don¡¯t mind,¡± she smiled and said, but she didn¡¯t seem very enthusiastic about it.
For some reason, after Yin Shaojie had left, she was somewhat ill at ease.
Looking up at Feng Shengyang, Mu Xiaoxiao had a thought again. Would Yin Shaojie get jealous if she saw her eating with this person?
It seemed wrong to do it, so she thought of taking her leave.
Although, she had already eaten quite a bit.
¡°Well¡ I have to go back to school, so¡¡± She gathered her words to articte herself.
Feng Shengyang stopped moving the chopsticks, smiled at her and said, ¡°I¡¯m going back too. I¡¯ll send you back after eating.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned, ¡°You¡¯re going back?¡±
Feng Shengyang smiled at her. ¡°Didn¡¯t you lecture me that I should treat the fans well? I decided to go to meet-and-greet with the fans. It¡¯ll be in the afternoon. Oh yeah, would you like toe over?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly shook her head. ¡°No, thanks.¡±
Chapter 819 - Not Officially Broken Up (3)
Chapter 819: Not Officially Broken Up (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
She wasn¡¯t even a fan. Why should she go for it?
Moreover¡ given how popr he was and how popr she was in school, if she were to appear together with him, wouldn¡¯t it create a stir throughout Shangde?
With such a great stir, Yin Shaojie would definitely find out about it.
Mu Xiaoxiao held her chin as her thoughts wandered again. What could he be busy with? He left so urgently without eating the meal.
She wondered, he didn¡¯t eat much. Was he full already?
Noticing that she wasn¡¯t talking to him, Feng Shengyang looked at her and found that she was in her thoughts again.
He pressed his lips together.
This girl had totally forgotten that his existence several times already.
Mu Xiaoxiao took out the cell phone and suddenly felt a great urge to call Yin Shaojie and find out where he was.
But her finger halted and didn¡¯t send out the call.
Feng Shengyang looked at her and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Did you have a squabble with Young Master Jie?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shot him a re. ¡°Of course not! What nonsense! Hurry up and eat. I need to go soon.¡±
She wanted to go back to school now.
She¡¯d be happier hanging out with Qiqing and the others than with this big celebrity.
Feng Shengyang was stunned as he felt that she was brushing him off.
She was¡ actually telling him off?
He had to admit that this was quite a unique experience.
He was THE Feng Shengyang. How many girls had gone crazy over him? Having lived so long, no one had brushed him off like this before.
Mu Xiaoxiao paid no attention to his expression. She looked down at her phone, thinking about something
Just then, the cell phone rang.
Mu Xiaoxiao saw that it was Yin Shaojie calling. The sullen look of her suddenly beamed with joy like exploding fireworks.
She quickly answered the call.
¡°Hello.¡±
¡°You¡¯re still not done eating yet? The chauffeur is waiting for you outside. When youe out, just get in the car and go back to school. Don¡¯t go anywhere else, got it?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had initially wanted to ask him where he was, but she didn¡¯t want to bother him with his work. So after some hesitation, she decided not to ask.
Since he had called her, this meant that he was thinking about her. This was enough for her.
¡°Okay, I got it,¡± she replied.
Yin Shaojie then hung up.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly stood up and said to Feng Shengyang, ¡°Sorry, my chauffeur is here. So I have to go now.¡±
Feng Shengyang¡¯s mouth twitched. ¡°Well, okay then. Go on, I will pay for the bill.¡±
¡°No need. He paid for it when he left. I¡¯m going then. Bye bye.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao cut the chatter and left the room after saying goodbye.
Feng Shengyang only watched broodingly as she walked out.
And he kept watching until the door closed.
¡
Mu Xiaoxiao took the car and returned to Shangde. Then she arrived at the Student Union building.
When she reached lounge on the first floor, Han Qiqing was already inside, lying leisurely, waving her hand to her, saying, ¡°Xiaoxiao, where have you been? Have you eaten yet?¡±
Song Shijun was also sitting on the sofa, staring at his cell phone, as if he was ying games.
Upon seeing them, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mood immediately brightened.
For some reason, when she was hanging out with Feng Shengyang, she had a vaguely odd and ufortable feeling.
She thought that perhaps it was because she didn¡¯t want Yin Shaojie to be jealous again.
¡°I already ate,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said as she walked up to Han Qiqing and sat down with her.
Chapter 820 - Not Officially Broken Up (4)
Chapter 820: Not Officially Broken Up (4)

Han Qiqing draped her arm around Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s shoulders and brought her cell phone in front of Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°Look, the Gossip Society said, someone who looked like Feng Shengyang appeared in school today. Many people said that they saw him, but unfortunately only a few people took photos.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao cast a sidelong nce at her. ¡°Do you like him too?¡±
Han Qiqing shrugged. ¡°He¡¯s alright, though he looks quite handsome.¡±
She thought, he is handsome, but not as handsome as Lu Yichen.
Song Shijun, who seemed focused on ying his game, suddenly snorted. ¡°Celebrities are handsome only through their packaging, unlike us, who are naturally handsome!¡±
Han Qiqing made a vomiting face. ¡°Enough. I¡¯ve just eaten. Don¡¯t make me throw up.¡±
Song Shijun pretended not to hear, turning his attention back to his cell phone game.
Mu Xiaoxiao had already seen Feng Shengyang in person earlier, so she wasn¡¯t very interested in this topic.
She asked casually, ¡°What other gossip is there?¡±
After the meal, it was interesting listening to some gossip to pass the time.
Han Qiqing flipped through her Weibo. ¡°It says here that¡ the reason for Feng Shengyanging to our school for a meet-and-greet with the fans was so that he could pick a female lead for his new song¡¯s music video. Wow! A female lead!¡±
Song Shijun said softly, ¡°You can forget about being the female lead. But perhaps you can be the female pig.¡±
¡°You shut up!¡± Han Qiqing threw a pillow at him.
Without even looking up, Song Shijun caught the pillow and ced it at his back for support.
Han Qiqing was mad, holding out her hand as she said to him, ¡°Give me back the pillow!¡±
She regretted throwing it. Now she was sitting quite ufortably.
Song Shijun pondered for a moment before grabbing the pillow from behind him and throwing it back to her.
Han Qiqing was appeased.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t have much interest in this female lead for the music video. Hugging the pillow, her eyes were half-opened looking dreary.
She couldn¡¯t help it, after all, she had just had her meal.
Then, Song Shijun casually asked, ¡°Where¡¯s Shaojie? Where did he go?¡±
Upon hearing Yin Shaojie¡¯s name, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes opened. ¡°I don¡¯t know¡ When I was eating just now, he suddenly left. I wonder what urgent matter he¡¯s attending to.¡±
Han Qiqing suddenly sat up straight. ¡°He left during the meal? He didn¡¯t tell you what he was going to do?¡±
¡°He didn¡¯t tell me.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head, her head leaning on the pillow as she was ready to fall asleep.
Han Qiqing tapped her. ¡°Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re pretty calm about it. Why didn¡¯t you ask him where he was going?¡±
¡°What¡¯s there to ask?¡± Her voice was getting softer and softer.
Song Shijun said, ¡°Yeah, men don¡¯t like to be asked questions when busy. Qiqing, you should learn more from Xiaoxiao.¡±
Han Qiqing didn¡¯t know how to articte what was bothering her, so she only sighed.
Seeing that Mu Xiaoxiao was really sleepy, she stopped talking.
Typically, Mu Xiaoxiao would sleep in Yin Shaojie¡¯s office, but today she was toozy to even go up there, falling asleep on the sofa here.
Song Shijun continued ying games. It was making some noises, but luckily it wasn¡¯t loud.
The small rays of light shone through the curtains, and the light breeze brushed past.
It was a tranquil moment.
Dong! When Han Qiqing was about to take an afternoon nap, a noise was heard.
Something fell to the floor.
She poked her head out from the sofa and saw a cell phone on the floor. It had fallen out of Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s pocket.

Han Qiqing got down from the sofa and picked up the cell phone. Just as she was going to put it onto the coffee table, a thought suddenly came to her.
Song Shijun looked up from his phone and saw her sneakily unlocking the phone using Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s finger. Then she took the cell phone and nestled back on the sofa.
He whispered, ¡°Why are you snooping through her cell phone?¡±
Han Qiqing shot him a re, shushing him with her finger at her lips, then pointed to Mu Xiaoxiao, telling him to be quiet lest he wake up Xiaoxiao.
Song Shijun frowned. Although they were friends, it wasn¡¯t appropriate for them to snoop through each other¡¯s phones.
He put down his phone and walked over to her.
Just when he was going to grab the cell phone from Han Qiqing, Han Qiqing pped his hand away. ¡°I¡¯m not trying to snoop through Xiaoxiao¡¯s private stuff. Jeez. You cane and look too.¡±
Song Shijun didn¡¯t want to follow her bad example, so he told her that he was one with high morals and would definitely not do these sneaky things.
Han Qiqing rolled eyes at him and waved the phone at him.
She whispered, ¡°I want to see Su Lin¡¯s Moments!¡±
Thest time Xiaoxiao let her see it, she only saw the front portion of Su Lin¡¯s friend circle. Recently, she was having some suspicions, so she thought of checking through it more thoroughly this time to confirm her suspicions.
¡°Su Lin¡¯s Moments?¡± Song Shijun was puzzled, this time he stretched his neck to look.
Han Qiqing asked, ¡°Do you have her WeChat?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡±
¡°Show me your phone.¡±
Song Shijun took out his cell phone obediently and brought it in front of her.
Han Qiqing rolled her eyes at him. ¡°Unlock it!¡±
Song Shijun quickly unlocked his phone and searched for Su Lin in WeChat, but he found an oddity. ¡°Why are the profile photos different?¡±
¡°As I expected, the ount she used to add us is different from the ount she used to add Xiaoxiao on WeChat. Do you think she might be up to something?¡± Han Qiqing held her chin, her eyes harboring suspicions.
¡°Why would she do this?¡± Song Shijun asked, frowning. He suddenly had a bad feeling about this.
¡°Why do you think?¡± Han Qiqing pointed to Su Lin¡¯s Moments and let him see what was written there.
Song Shijun had long known that Su Lin liked Yin Shaojie, but he didn¡¯t know she liked him this much. Her Moments was full of stuff rted to Yin Shaojie.
Han Qiqing said, ¡°She is very smart. Though she didn¡¯t explicitly mention Yin Shaojie in her posts, from Xiaoxiao¡¯s point of view, it is easy to guess that she is referring to Yin Shaojie.¡±
Song Shijun couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue in disapproval. ¡°Su Lin is too cunning!¡±
¡°Do you think this is all?¡± Han Qiqing implied that he didn¡¯t understand girls well enough.
She skipped to theter parts because the middle was filled with sentimental nonsense about how she missed Yin Shaojie. She could hardly stand those mushy and pretentious posts.
People not in the know might even be misled into thinking they shared a deep love rtionship.
Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t help but scoff. ¡°Do you think Su Lin has mythomania?¡±
Song Shijun asked curiously, ¡°Just what what are you looking for?¡±
¡°Looking for evidence! Look. Other than the photo at the amusement park, there¡¯s a few photos with Yin Shaojie inside, and some others where you can¡¯t make out who it is, showing only parts of someone¡¯s body.¡±
¡°So what? What are you going to do with the evidence?¡± Song Shijun stared at her puzzled. ¡°No, what evidence are you looking for?¡±
Han Qiqing paused for a moment, looked at him and said, ¡°Don¡¯t you remember? There was a time when Yin Shaojie and Su Lin were close and they hung out together quite often, so I¡¯m thinking¡ were they dating?¡±

Chapter 822: Not Officially Broken Up (6)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Song Shijun was startled. ¡°They¡ dated? No way?¡±
Han Qiqing pointed frustratingly at the cell phone. ¡°Then tell me, why else would Su Lin write these things? The things she wrote here definitely refer to Yin Shaojie. Even if they may not be real, perhaps there¡¯s at least some truth in it?¡±
Song Shijun didn¡¯t counter her because he also thought this was the case.
¡°But¡ if they really dated, we should know, right? They couldn¡¯t have dated secretly without our knowledge, could they?¡± Wouldn¡¯t that be even stranger?
Moreover, Yin Shaojie had so many girlfriends before. Even if he really dated with Su Lin, he didn¡¯t need to hide from them.
ncing at Mu Xiaoxiao, who was sleeping sweetly on the sofa, Han Qiqing frowned worriedly.
She pulled up Song Shijun and took him to a corner lest they allowed Xiaoxiao to hear their conversation.
The two squatted at the corner and whispered.
¡°Do you think it¡¯s likely that they dated?¡± Han Qiqing asked him seriously.
Song Shijun initially wanted to say that it wasn¡¯t likely. But upon hearing her mention that period, he was reminded of the time when Yin Shaojie and Su Lin were indeed close, and he had even seen Yin Shaojie drive Su Lin around.
So, had they really once dated?
At the thought of this, Song Shijun also looked toward Mu Xiaoxiao worriedly.
¡°Even if it is true, we can¡¯t do anything.¡± He sighed.
Han Qiqing said with some indignation, ¡°Actually it¡¯s not a big deal even if they dated before. Before Yin Shaojie got together with Xiaoxiao, didn¡¯t he have many girlfriends? As long as Yin Shaojie is upfront with Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao shouldn¡¯t get too angry about it. But Yin Shaojie¡ It seems that he hasn¡¯t told Xiaoxiao about this before. This is what¡¯s odd about it.¡±
She nudged Song Shijun with her elbow, leaned closer to his ear and whispered worriedly, ¡°Do you think we should tell Xiaoxiao about this matter? If she finds out, will they start a fight?¡±
She didn¡¯t want to see that happening! She didn¡¯t want to see Xiaoxiao being hurt.
Song Shijun was also quite conflicted as he scratched his head. ¡°Let¡¯s¡ not tell her about this for now. Let me find a chance to see what I can find out from Shaojie! I can see that he is serious about Xiaoxiao. Even if there is something that he is hiding from Xiaoxiao, it¡¯s probably because he doesn¡¯t want her to feel hurt.¡±
Han Qiqing said disapprovingly, ¡°You guys are all like this! Do you think it¡¯s good to keep her in the dark? But have you ever thought that Xiaoxiao will only be doubly upset when the matter is brought to light!¡±
Song Shijun looked innocent. ¡°Don¡¯t scold me. It¡¯s not even my fault.¡±
Han Qiqing stamped her foot and cursed Yin Shaojie in her heart.
¡
Meanwhile, in the hospital.
Yin Shaojie stood in front of the bed, looking at Su Lin, his gaze was cold as he said, ¡°You¡¯re using this to threaten me?¡±
As he gripped the phone in his hands, veins could be seen popped up.
Su Lin sat herself up on the bed, leaning against the headboard as she looked at him, and she smiled and said, ¡°A threat? But it¡¯s a fact that we dated before. Can you call this a threat?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes seethed with anger. ¡°You know bloody well why we dated! I didn¡¯t date you because I liked you!¡±
¡°So what? It doesn¡¯t change the fact that we dated.¡± Su Lin smiled gleefully, as if she was reminiscing about good times, his eyes quietly watching him.
¡°Shaojie¡ Actually we didn¡¯t officially break up, did we?¡±
Chapter 823 - She Is the Mistress

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Shaojie¡ Actually we didn¡¯t officially break up, did we?¡±
Upon hearing this, Yin Shaojie wrinkled his brow.
Seeing the change in his expression, she thought she had touched a nerve, and she smiled even wider.
She squinted at him and said, ¡°So strictly speaking, Xiaoxiao is a¡ mistress? I think, given Xiaoxiao¡¯s personality, if she found out that she has be a mistress, she will probably break down, won¡¯t she?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s chest was filled with anger and his dark eyes stared icily at her. He seemed to have squeezed out the words through his gritted teeth as he pointed his finger at her and said, ¡°Su Lin, you dare!¡±
¡°Why won¡¯t I dare?¡± Su Lin tilted up her chin like a haughty queen. ¡°We haven¡¯t broken up yet, so you still belong to me and she is the mistress. Am I wrong? This is the truth! Why wouldn¡¯t I dare to say it?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s hands hanging by his side clenched into fists, and his eyes became red with anger.
He couldn¡¯t calm down with the thought of Xiaoxiao possibly getting hurt.
Thus, every word Su Lin said had touched his sore spot.
Su Lin tried to get down from the bed, but her legs were wrapped in a thick cast and it was difficult to move, so she could only scoot herself over to the edge of the bed. Quietly looking to Yin Shaojie, she said softly, ¡°Shaojie, can you help me up?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes were contemtive, sorting out his own emotions. He only looked at her, but he had not intended to go up to her.
Making a hurtful expression, Su Lin sighed and said, ¡°Do you have to hurt me like this? Back when we were together¡¡±
¡°Enough!¡± Yin Shaojie suddenly sneered at her. ¡°I think you¡¯re mistaken.¡±
¡°What?¡± Su Lin wanted to see how he would rebut her.
Yin Shaojieughed icily and said, ¡°You say that we dated, but strictly speaking, we never dated before, have we? Without officially dating, how can there be an official break up?¡±
¡°You¡ªHow can you say that! We were clearly¡¡± Su Lin was anxious to rebut him.
¡°No! We have never dated.¡± Yin Shaojie said confidently as he stared at her in a chilly gaze.
¡°You say that we have dated. So tell me, have I ever confessed to you? Did I ever say that we were dating? I don¡¯t think so.¡±
Su Lin¡¯s expression became stiff, and something changed in her eyes. ¡°That¡¯s because¡ we were in love with each other, so we didn¡¯t have to¡
¡°In love with each other?¡± Yin Shaojie seemed to have heard a joke. ¡°Su Lin, you knew from the beginning that I didn¡¯t like you. The reason why I hung out with you in that period was because you¡ In any case, we both know the reason!¡±
Su Lin shook her head and resolutely disagreed, ¡°No¡ you like me. How can you not like me! When we were together¡ you were so good to me. You treated me differently from how you treat other girls. So I¡¯m your true love. I¡¯m the one!¡±
¡°No, you¡¯re not.¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes glistened as he stared at her. ¡°You never were!¡±
¡°So you think¡ Mu Xiaoxiao is your true love?¡± Su Lin smiled awkwardly, the corner of her eyes contorted.
¡°Yes!¡± Yin Shaojie answered immediately without a moment¡¯s thought in a serious and resolute manner.
Su Lin suddenly broke out intoughter, and she struggled to get out down from the bed, paying no regard to her injury.
However, she stumbled to the ground and screamed out in pain.

¡°Shaojie, it hurts! Help me up¡ I fell¡¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned. He wasn¡¯t too willing to have close physical interaction with her. But seeing the pitiful look on her face as she fell to the ground, he capitted in the end as he walked up to her and reached for her arm.
Su Lin grabbed his arm and climbed up to his neck.
¡°Shaojie¡ Shaojie¡ I know you like me. I know you can¡¯t bear to see me in pain¡¡±
She took the opportunity to hug him tightly as if she didn¡¯t want to let go.
¡°Let go!¡± Yin Shaojie tried to pry her hands off. He was ufortable as the two were tangled up.
He was repelling her both psychologically and physically.
In the past, he had been quite a careless attitude toward girls. He would be quite nonchnt about having physical contact with other girls. But now that he had Xiaoxiao, he didn¡¯t like any kind of physical contact with other girls anymore.
¡°I¡¯m not letting go! I don¡¯t want to let go! It¡¯s all my fault for letting you go then. I thought that after I returned, we would still be like before. But in just a short few months, things changed! Shaojie, why did you change? Why weren¡¯t you faithful!¡±
Su Lin cried, her hands bound him like a shackle, refusing to let go.
Yin Shaojie knitted his brows in frustration, feeling as if talking to her would only be in vain.
They weren¡¯t talking in the same frequency. There was no way for him to talk to her.
He was unfaithful?
He had never liked her. How could he even be unfaithful?
No longer caring to be gentle on her, Yin Shaojie forcefully pulled her hand, but Su Lin seemed to have gone crazy as she seized him even tighter that even her fingers were hooked onto him.
¡°Don¡¯t go, Shaojie. Don¡¯t leave me! I can¡¯t live without you!¡±
Yin Shaojie took a deep breath. He had almost wanted to just break her fingers.
But he still ended up restraining himself.
¡°Su Lin, calm down. Let¡¯s talk it out, okay?¡± he said with a gentler tone as he looked at her calmly without the obvious resentment he was showing earlier.
He was trying to cate her.
He didn¡¯t know where she had gotten her strength that he couldn¡¯t peel her away from him.
Although he could totally use brute force, it would hurt her. After all, she was still a girl, and their families had many years of rtionship, so he decided to use a softer approach.
Su Lin slowly calmed down after hearing his gentle voice, gazing at him deeply, as if she wanted to engrave him into her memory.
Yin Shaojie sighed as he remembered what happened in the past. He didn¡¯t know what to do seeing the infatuated look of her, so he agreed to hang out with her for a few days.
It was just that he had never expected trouble toe from the moment his heart softened.
Yin Shaojie pulled her up and Su Lin stood up acquiescently as if allowing him to control her.
He ced her on the sickbed. ¡°Sit down first.¡±
Su Lin sat down obediently, but her hands refused to let go, clinging at his waist.
She even pressed her face against his chest, smiling as if she was already contented.
¡°Do you know? When I was in America, I missed you every day. No! Every moment, I thought abouting back to your side.¡±
Yin Shaojie bent his head down, frowning as he watched her behave. He wanted to push her away, but he held himself back temporarily.
He thought that if Xiaoxiao were to see this scene, she would go mad.
¡°Can we return to how things were, without Mu Xiaoxiao or anyone else, just the two of us?¡±

Su Lin indulged in her own blissful fantasies as she said to him.
Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t totally not paying attention to what she was saying as he surreptitiously pried off her hands.
¡°Go back to the bed, okay?¡± he said softly.
¡°No.¡± Su Lin shook her head and hugged his waist unrelentingly.
¡°Be good. Your leg hasn¡¯t healed yet. Getting out of bed like this will cause another injury. Don¡¯t you want to get better soon?¡± he said, pacifying her.
Su Lin stopped. Then she sat back on the bed.
Yin Shaojie lifted her foot that was wrapped in a cast and ced it onto the bed, putting her back into a lying position.
¡°Shaojie, don¡¯t leave!¡± She anxiously grabbed him.
¡°Okay, I won¡¯t go.¡± Yin Shaojie pulled a chair and sat down beside the bed. He looked at her and said, ¡°I told you, right? We¡¯ll talk. I also have something to ask you.¡±
¡°Okay, what do you want to ask?¡± Su Lin reached out to grab his hand, but Yin Shaojie skillfully dodged her hand.
Yin Shaojie ced his hand on hisp very naturally, gently smiling as he said to her, ¡°You said that I promised you something, but I have forgotten what it is. Can you tell me what it is?¡±
Su Lin gave him a look of reproach. ¡°Why did you forget? You promised me a birthday present¡¡±
Hearing that, Yin Shaojie came to a realization. ¡°So it¡¯s about the birthday present.¡±
Now that she mentioned it, he did casually promise to give her a birthday present.
Yin Shaojie had a headache. We could be irresponsible with the food that we eat but not with the words that we speak! And we must especially not make casual promises.
¡°Is there anything else?¡± He continued probing.
Su Lin didn¡¯t answer his question, but she replied, ¡°Shaojie, when are you going to give me the birthday present? I want a special birthday present, okay?¡±
¡°I promised you, so I will get you something.¡± Yin Shaojie nodded. ncing at the time, he decided to leave.
He stood up and said, ¡°Alright then, it¡¯s time for your afternoon nap. I¡¯m not going to disturb your rest. I have to go back to school.¡±
Su Lin looked at him reluctantly. ¡°Can¡¯t you stay with me?¡±
¡°I have to go back to school now.¡± Yin Shaojie repeated himself, and he took a look at her before leaving.
After closing the door to the ward, his eyes were contemtive.
When he got back to the car, he took out the cell phone and made a call.
¡°Do a check for me and tell me what Su Lin did when she was in America¡¡±
¡
In the afternoon after school.
Upon learning that Feng Shengyang was going to hold the fans¡¯ meet-and-greet at Shangde, the girls flocked out of the ssrooms to the meet-and-greet venue.
Less than half a minute after dismissal, Mu Xiaoxiao was the only girl left in the ssroom.
Watching the girls rushing over in a craze, the boys in the ssroom couldn¡¯t help butugh. ¡°This is just like a zombie movie!¡±
¡°Look, only Mu Xiaoxiao is staying. She¡¯s the only one not crazy over the big celebrity.¡±
¡°How can she be the same as the others? Mu Xiaoxiao has Young Master Jie, and Young Master Jie is not lousier than that Feng Shengyang.¡±
¡°I think Young Master Jie is more handsome than him!¡±
¡°Feng Shengyang and Young Master Jie are different kinds of handsome. Girls are all judging by the looks, so it is hard to say. Just watch. I think Mu Xiaoxiao is only pretending, she will definitely go to the fan meet-and-greet.¡±
¡°No way? How could Young Master Jie allow her to go?¡±
¡°How can any girl resist a handsome guy¡¯s charm? I¡¯m also betting that Mu Xiaoxiao will go to the meet-and-greet.¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao listened to their conversation and couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. Just when she was going to tell them that she had no ns of going, WeChat notification sound was heard from her phone.
She thought it was Yin Shaojie, so she opened WeChat to see check, but she didn¡¯t expect to see that it was Su Lin instead.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked stunned for a moment.
This was the first time Su Lin had sent her a message ever since Su Lin added her a while ago.
Opening the message, Su Lin had sent her a few photos. In the photo, a man and a woman were intimately embracing each other¡
Without opening the image to see it full screen, Mu Xiaoxiao could already tell that the guy in the photo was Yin Shaojie.
But she still opened it.
The photo was magnified and clearly disyed.
Yin Shaojie and Su Lin were in a tight embrace and they were in the hospital ward.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a sting in her eyes as she recognized that the shirt was the same as what Yin Shaojie was wearing today¡
So the urgent business he had to attend to was to visit Su Lin at the hospital?
He left her in the middle of their meal just to see Su Lin?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes quickly turned red and her nose sour. She was morose.
After sending the photos, Su Lin sent another message.
Mu Xiaoxiao, he¡¯s mine.
Her tone seemed like she was dering her ownership.
As if there were thorns in her eyes, Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to smash the cell phone.
But she was still sane as she gripped the phone tightly.
Just as she took a deep breath to calm herself, the cell phone rang.
The bastard Yin Shaojie just happened to call.
Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a while, biting her lower lip. Then she answered the call.
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Are you in the ssroom? I¡¯m going to pick you up now. Wait for me.¡±
His voice was just as usual in that casual tone and slightly happy tone. It didn¡¯t seem odd.
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao only replied with a word before hanging up the phone, but her hand that was gripping the phone was trembling.
She sneered as she thought. She didn¡¯t think he would be able to put up such a good act. If it wasn¡¯t for Su Lin who sent her those photos, she wouldn¡¯t have suspected anything.
Carrying her bag, she stood up and walked out of the ssroom looking emotionless.
At the door, Yin Shaojie was walking toward her.
Mu Xiaoxiao stopped in her steps. Forcing a smile, she stood there and waved her hand, beckoning to him.
Yin Shaojie smiled as he walked toward her, and he was about to say something.
But Mu Xiaoxiao withdrew her smile into an icy expression and she pped his face.
Pah! A crisp sound stunned every student nearby.
What¡¯s happening?
Mu Xiaoxiao pped Young Master Jie?
Even the people in the ssroom all rushed out to watch themotion.
Everyone thought that Young Master Jie was going to be angry and that Mu Xiaoxiao was going to be in for something bad. But they never expected that Yin Shaojie would not get angry. His brows twitched and he said innocently, ¡°What was that for?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, took out the cell phone, and showed him the photo, saying angrily, ¡°What do you think? How do you exin this!¡±
When he saw the photo, Yin Shaojie¡¯s brows wrinkled.
¡°Exin this!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shouted, her little hand was clenched into a fist, and sheunched it at him.
¡°Don¡¯t hurt yourself.¡± Yin Shaojie caught her little hand in his, worrying that she may get hurt. He sighed and said, ¡°I¡¯ll exin, okay?¡±
He took out the cell phone and showed it to her.
¡°I had someone look this up. I only just received it.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t understand. What did this have to do with his exnation?
But upon seeing the contents on the screen, her eyes widened in shock.
It said that Su Lin went to America a few months ago to¡ treat her mental illness?!

¡°W-what is this¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao could hardly believe it.
Why was Su Lin suddenly mentally ill?
Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression wasplicated. ¡°I also never thought it would be like this.¡±
He had thought it was odd when Su Lin suddenly went to America without saying what she was going there for.
Yin Shaojie swept a nce at the crowd of onlooking students. He held Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s continue our talk when we get back.¡±
It wasn¡¯t convenient to talk about this matter with so many people watching.
Initially, he wanted to tell her about it when they returned home, but he never expected that she would receive such a photo. So he had no choice but to clear up the misunderstanding first lest she imagined things.
As Mu Xiaoxiao was led away, she seemed beside herself.
The onlookers were stupefied. They reconciled so quickly? What exactly did Young Master Jie let Mu Xiaoxiao see? They wanted to know!
However, the involved party obviously wouldn¡¯t give them the answer they sought for.
Mu Xiaoxiao had got in the car.
When they had left Shangde¡¯s campus, she turned to Yin Shaojie and asked. ¡°Just what exactly is going on? Why is Su Lin mentally ill? Is it serious?¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded. ¡°It should be quite serious, otherwise her family wouldn¡¯t have taken her to America for treatment.¡±
¡°So is she recovered now?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. Mental illness wasn¡¯t something that one could recover fully from, right? It could only be temporarily controlled and there was still the chance of rpse in the future.
She sighed to herself. She never expected Su Lin to be mentally ill. Su Lin seemed like a healthy person.
Yin Shaojie paused for a moment and said, ¡°The report didn¡¯t say whether she has recovered, but I went to see her today and thought she was odd, so I had someone check for me.¡±
He had only found out after the investigation the reason for her behavior.
Being reminded of this matter, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face straightened up and she questioned him, ¡°You left in the middle of our meal just to see her? Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at her. He didn¡¯t quite know how to exin himself.
He didn¡¯t want to hide what happened between him and Su Lin. But there were some things that he felt that it was better to not let her know, so it was an awkward position to be in.
After some thought, Yin Shaojie said, ¡°I didn¡¯t want to hide from you. But it was just that she has been bugging me. I didn¡¯t want to get you involved in this mess, so I thought I should resolve the problem myself.¡±
They stopped at a red light. He turned to look into her eyes and asked, ¡°Do you trust me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a stir in her heart. She pressed her lips together and said, ¡°Of course I trust you¡¡±
If she didn¡¯t trust him, she wouldn¡¯t have gone to him looking for an exnation.
Yin Shaojie smiled. His big hand suddenly grabbed the back of her head, in a motion to kiss her.
Mu Xiaoxiao bashfully pushed him away. Then she saw the palm print on his elegant face. Although it wasn¡¯t obvious, it was still visible.
She was really angry earlier. So she wasn¡¯t pretending when she pped him.
She touched his cheek. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Does it still hurt?¡±
Yin Shaojie held her little hand to his lips and kissed it. He shook his head and said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt. It¡¯s nothing. In fact, I¡¯m very happy.¡±
¡°You¡¯re still happy after I pped you?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked bemused, as if he was also mental.
Yin Shaojie smirked andughed. ¡°Because you want to hit me, it means that you still trust me, unlike thest time¡ when you left abruptly.¡±

He didn¡¯t want to experience again the time when she left him and how he was driven into a mad search for her.
So it actually felt good when she pped him. At least the first thing that she would think about when she was faced with such an upsetting event was to find him for an exnation instead of leaving him abruptly.
Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or cry. ¡°I¡¯m not hopelessly dumb. It¡¯s only a photo. It doesn¡¯t tell me the whole story, does it?¡±
However, it was indeed because she trusted in him that she knew he wouldn¡¯t betray her.
After having gone through these few events, they had be steadier in their rtionship.
Yin Shaojie kissed her palm again. Then the light turned green, and he put down her hand and started the car.
Then he exined, ¡°I went to the hospital to visit her at noon. She wanted to use you to threaten me. Of course, I didn¡¯t fall for her trick, so I got into a dispute with her. Later, she seemed to have gotten quite mentally unstable, refusing to let go as she hugged me. I had no choice but to pacify her. So that¡¯s how the photo came about.¡±
¡°She used me to threaten you? What did she threaten you about?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao caught on the important point.
Yin Shaojie paused for a moment and said, ¡°That¡¯s not important. What¡¯s important is that it didn¡¯t work.¡±
Looking at her, he quickly shifted the subject and said, ¡°Actually, I suspect that she had orchestrated her own injury.¡±
¡°Huh?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was startled, ¡°How is that possible? It was clearly An Zhixin¡¡±
Yin Shaojie wrung his eyebrows. ¡°This matter is quiteplicated. In any case, Su Lin isn¡¯t as simple as you think she is. I have suspected her since the beginning.¡±
With so many incidents that happened, they know that there was a mastermind behind the events, but it was just that they didn¡¯t have clear evidence pointing to a suspect.
He had some suspicions but he hadn¡¯t told her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little confused. She couldn¡¯t grasp the whole situation.
¡°So you mean that Su Lin¡ is rted to An Zhixin in some way? In other words, the one who was controlling An Zhixin was Su Lin?!¡±
The final conclusion shocked Mu Xiaoxiao because it was something she never could have imagined.
How could An Zhixin have anything to do with Su Lin?
This was an outrageous thought!
Yin Shaojie nodded attentively. ¡°This is just my own guess¡ I think it is very likely, but there is no solid proof that it is Su Lin.¡±
He could only say that Su Lin was too smart. Everything she did was done through other people¡¯s hands so there was no clue that could be traced back to her. She was putpletely outside of those incidents. Whether the ns would seed or fail, it would still have nothing to do with her.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned and said, ¡°So, the person who transferred An Zhixin to Shangde is also Su Lin? What is her purpose?¡±
She realized that she couldn¡¯t guess what Su Lin was trying to do.
Yin Shaojie looked at her and said gravely, ¡°You or me.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or cry. ¡°She transferred An Zhixin to Shangde so that she could be the third party that benefits from our shing?¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t reply to her this time.
He didn¡¯t quite understand how girls thought. Moreover, Su Lin was mentally unstable. He was even less likely to understand her, and he also didn¡¯t want to understand her.
After a while, he said, ¡°In any case, don¡¯t go near Su Lin for the time being. I will send people to watch her closely and see what she does next. No matter what she says or does to you, don¡¯t believe her, alright?¡±
¡°Alright,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao replied.

Chapter 829: Why Must She Be Treated Like This?
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
At Second High.
When An Zhixin returned to Second High, life wasn¡¯t very peachy, because many people knew that she had transferred to Shangde before and even became a rich missy. So when she returned to Second High, she often heard peopleughing at her behind her back.
Actually, An Zhixin could tolerate these things, but what was most upsetting was that Wang Shiyu was not in the least concerned about her.
After school.
Because thest lesson was a physical education ss, some students left straight from ss without returning to the ssroom.
When An Zhixin went back to the ssroom to pack her stuff, there were not many students in the ssroom.
As she was packing her items into her bag and thinking of ns for dinner, she heard someone kicking the desk near the door.
An Zhixin was shocked. There was a sense of uneasiness as she looked up at the door.
She saw a few girls looking unfriendly walking toward her.
¡°Yo An Zhixin, didn¡¯t you go to Shangde to be a rich missy? Why are you back here in Second High? How can Second High amodate such an exalted person like you?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t say that. She¡¯s now be a stray dog, beaten back into her original form! Hahahaha!¡±
¡°An Zhixin, tell us. How does it feel like being a student at Shangde? Does it feel good? We also heard that when you were in Shangde, many boys were attracted to you, is that right? Everything is different when you be a rich missy, huh?¡±
¡°Unfortunately, we aren¡¯t so lucky, to be able to have a taste of being a rich missy.¡±
They walked up to An Zhixin¡¯s desk while they talked.
An Zhixin grasped her bag tightly in her hands and nced at them surreptitiously. Seeing that they didn¡¯t look friendly, she thought if she should better run.
She got up from her seat, her head lowered silently as she tried to walk past them.
But how could these girls just let her go like that?
The girl, who was leading the group, grabbed An Zhixin¡¯s shirt rudely.
¡°I¡¯m talking to you? Answer me! You think you can just ignore us after a few days of being a rich missy?¡±
¡°I heard that this slut even tried to seduce Young Master Jie when she was in Shangde. Who does she think she is? It¡¯s a pipe dream!¡±
¡°Exactly. You think a perfect guy like Young Master Jie is someone you can even dream about?¡±
¡°I¡¯m pissed from just looking at her. Sister Qin, let her have it!¡±
An Zhixin suddenly pushed the girl¡¯s hand away, trembling as she retreated two steps back, staring at them timidly. ¡°I-I didn¡¯t do anything to you¡ Why do you want to beat me?¡±
¡°Acting pitiful? Disgusting!¡± The girl on the right spit at her.
An Zhixin clenched her fists unbearably, her body shaking. ¡°I don¡¯t even know you people¡¡±
¡°We don¡¯t like the sight of you. We¡¯re gonna teach you a lesson. Do we need your approval?¡±
The three girls looked at each other andughed out loud.
¡°I¡¯m telling you. You¡¯re a slut, a trash! Even if we beat you up, no one will even bat an eye!¡±
With that said, the girl on the left threw a kick at her.
An Zhixin shrunk back in fright, mming into the desk and almost fell to the ground.
She shook her head in horror, tears turning in her eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t hit me, don¡¯t hit me¡¡±
She felt so wronged. She didn¡¯t do anything. Why would these people treat her like this?
The girl, who was leading the group, violently snatched An Zhixin¡¯s bag, threw it to the ground and stomped it under her feet.
Just then, someone came in, saw what was happening, and stared nkly.
Noticing that someone had appeared, hope was roused as An Zhixin anxiously called out for help.

¡°Help me! They¡¯re gonna beat me up. Help, get the teacher here quickly¡¡±
¡°Get the teacher? You dare to get the teacher?¡±
The three girls gave her threatening res.
Taking a p to the face, An Zhixin sped her face and looked to the person, who had entered the ssroom, with pleading eyes. It was only then that she realized that it was Wang Shiyu.
Her eyes immediately reddened, ¡°Shiyu¡ help me¡¡±
However, Wang Shiyu seemed to have curled her lips before turning to leave.
An Zhixin¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief as she called out, ¡°Shiyu!¡±
However, Wang Shiyu seemed to have not heard her as she simply turned around and left the ssroom.
¡°Enough talk with this slut! Rough her up!¡±
They pushed An Zhixin to the corner and dealt her a flurry of punches and kicks.
When they stopped beating her, An Zhixin thought that the torment was over. However, in the next second, a basin of water was poured over her head.
The girlsughed in front of her.
¡°Hahaha, a disgusting person like her goes well with the dirty water!¡±
They made fun of her as they recorded a video with their cell phones.
¡°That felt good! Let¡¯s go!¡±
The three girls left An Zhixin and walked out of the ssroom.
An Zhixin huddled up in the corner, her face pale as she hugged herself. She looked innocent yet humiliated.
Why did she have to suffer such treatment¡
What she didn¡¯t know was that not long after the girls had left, they went to a secluded corner and sent the video to someone.
¡°Boss, do you like this? If not, we¡¯ll go back and teach her another lesson.¡±
After a few minutes, the person told them that it was good enough and went on to transfer a sum of money to them.
After receiving the money, the three girls screamed excitedly.
They said ingratiatingly, ¡°Boss, you can call us again when you have another job for us.¡±
They could earn a few thousand yuan just by beating someone up. This was just too awesome a job!
Moreover, An Zhixin had already been an eyesore to them from the start.
Shortly, the other party replied, ¡°y with her again tomorrow but, this time, in front of the other students. I don¡¯t care how you do it as long as you torment her.¡±
Their eyes instantly lit up. ¡°Yes yes! We¡¯ll definitely do it per your request!¡±
Great! Now they could get a few thousand yuan again!
The three girls discussed in excitement how to torment An Zhixin as they walked down the stairs.
¡°Why not we pour feces on her tomorrow? Just the thought of it is disgusting, hahaha!¡±
¡°I think we can tear her skirt. It¡¯ll be super embarrassing.¡±
¡°We have to do a good job. Maybe we could even get another chance to do this again! This is totally good money!¡±
¡°Anyways, since everyone in Second High hates An Zhixin now, I¡¯m sure people will love it.¡±
Meanwhile, in the hospital.
Su Lin watched the video on her cell phone of An Zhixin being humiliated. Her mouth turned up in a creepy smirk.
¡°An Zhixin, you slut. You dare to covet my man? You¡¯re not even qualified to clean his shoe!¡±
Because of this, Su Lin deliberately turned An Zhixin into a rich missy. When she was raised into a phoenix and fell back to the ground, she would understand that he was not someone that she could covet!
Mama Su stood by the side, watching her daughter, and she asked worriedly, ¡°Linlin, are you okay? Are you rpsing again?¡±
¡°I¡¯m alright, and I¡¯m in a very good mood!¡± Su Lin smiled brightly.

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
However, the happier Su Lin appeared, the more fearful Mama Su became. It reminded her of the time in America during the peak of her illness, Su Lin also seemed to be in a very good mood.
¡°Linlin¡¡±
She was going to talk, but Su Lin interrupted her impatiently.
Annoyed, Su Lin said to her mother, ¡°Who told you toe visit me? Didn¡¯t I tell you already? Act like you¡¯re not in China! Do you want Shaojie and the rest to find out that I lied? I don¡¯t need you around. He is the only one I need!¡±
Hearing that, Mama Su grew even more worried. Her intuition was telling her that Su Lin had rpsed again as she looked anxiously to her husband.
Papa Su surreptitiously shook his head to her, and he went to calm Su Lin down before the two left the ward together.
Outside of the ward, Mama Su said worriedly, ¡°What should we do now? Linlin¡¯s condition is so unstable. We shouldn¡¯t have allowed her to return to China. Her condition would be much more stable if we had kept her on treatment in America.¡±
Su¡¯s father shook his head and said, ¡°You think you can stop her? The only thing on her mind now is Yin Shaojie. Even if you don¡¯t let here back, given her personality, she would still do whatever it takes to get back here!¡±
Mama Su grew sadder with each thought, and her eyes became watery. ¡°What do you think we should do then? I don¡¯t want to see my daughter turning into¡ Oh, my baby! Hurry and think of something! She¡¯s the only daughter we have!¡±
No parent could bear to watch their own child be a mental case.
Papa Su also had a heavy heart.
He thought for a moment and said, ¡°Linlin¡¯s condition is mainly because of Yin Shaojie¡ It¡¯s all your fault. Why do you have to keep indulging her! Now we can¡¯t let her continue causing trouble. It seems that we have to have discussion with Shaojie and see how he can help us.¡±
¡°Him¡ Is he willing to? If he was willing to stay with Linlin, the doctor said that this would help to stabilize Linlin¡¯s illness. But I¡¯m afraid¡ Shaojie won¡¯t want to do it. Isn¡¯t he dating the Mu family¡¯s daughter now?¡± Mama Su wiped her tears, feeling sad for her daughter.
Papa Su sighed and said, ¡°Even if he is not willing to, we have to find a way to make him! He¡¯s the only one who can save our daughter now¡¡±
He stared quietly into the distance.
¡
Back at the condominium.
Mu Xiaoxiao threw herself onto the sofa as usual. cing a pillow behind her head, her hands sping around her neck, she stared at the ceiling in a daze.
Twisting her neck, she felt strangely tired, as if a lot of things happened in the day.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yin Shaojie came over and looked down at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t reply to him as she kneaded her neck.
¡°Let me massage it for you,¡± Yin Shaojie said, motioning her to turn around.
It was quite tiring massaging herself. Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hands were feeling sore, so she turned around to let him help.
She turned around andid against the pillow. Yin Shaojie¡¯s big hands kneaded her shoulders. It was just the right amount of force for her.
She simply closed her eyes and enjoyed his service.
After a while, she said, ¡°What are you going to do about Su Lin?¡±
While giving her a massage, Yin Shaojie said, ¡°What do you want to do about it?¡±
¡°Me?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, looking forward. ¡°Actually¡ she¡¯s pretty sad too. Is it because of her illness that she is being so antagonistic toward me? And the incident with An Zhixin is already over. It doesn¡¯t affect me anymore.

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Yin Shaojie looked at her from behind. ¡°So you mean that you¡¯re just going to let her be?¡±
Obviously, this wretch had still not straightened out her thoughts.
It wasn¡¯t just the incident involving An Zhixin. Bribing Yu Zhe, assisting Han Xue¡¯er, and secretly photographing them in the past few incidents could all be Su Lin¡¯s doing.
She only thought that Su Lin was behind the incident involving An Zhixin and never thought about how the past incidents could be linked to Su Lin.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression darkened.
If Su Lin was behind all those previous incidents, then Su Lin would be a very dangerous person now.
No one knew what she would try to do next given her current condition.
You could never be on the same frequency of thought as someone mentally unstable.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know¡ I feel so tired.¡±
It was actually tiring to be in a constant war with someone.
She couldn¡¯t get it. Wouldn¡¯t Su Lin get tired constantly setting herself against her?
Yin Shaojie¡¯s fingers yed with her earlobe and said, ¡°If you are tired, then stop thinking so much. Anyways, you don¡¯t need to do anything with me here. I will handle it. You just stay by my side like a good girl. Don¡¯t do anything, and don¡¯t get too close with other guys.¡±
Recalling what went down today, he pinched her hard, his tone full of jealousy.
Pinched at her earlobe, she turned around painfully, and swatted his hand away. ¡°Okay, stop pinching me.¡±
¡°Okay, no more pinching. I¡¯ll kiss it instead, okay?¡± Yin Shaojie joked. He pulled her up, letting her lean in his arms. His thin lips leaned over her and he really kissed her on her earlobe.
His manly scent wafted over her. Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart beat faster, her face glowing red.
Yin Shaojie liked seeing her aroused reaction. He always thought it was especially cute, and it made him want to tease her even more.
Mu Xiaoxiao clutched his shirt. Her voice softened pleasantly like cotton candynding on one¡¯s tongue.
¡°Stop it¡¡±
Yin Shaojie thought about what she did to him in the restaurant today and felt like teasing her again.
He lifted her up to make her sit on hisp.
Mu Xiaoxiao pushed his chest, her watery eyes ck and bright, and she feigned anger coquettishly. ¡°Stop thinking about¡ all these things!¡±
¡°What things?¡± Yin Shaojie smiled teasingly. ¡°I¡¯m just teasing you. Can¡¯t I do that? Or do you think I was trying to do something else? Quickly, own up.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and pressed herself away from his sturdy chest, she hit him and said, ¡°Tease your damn head!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯m gonna tease your damn head.¡± Yin Shaojie retorted. He lowered his head and stoppered her little mouth.
Swamped by his kisses, the two frolicked on the sofa.
After a while, Yin Shaojie¡¯s breathing was bing a little hot.
He hugged her, pressing her tightly into his chest.
¡°Alright. No more ying.¡±
If they continued, he was afraid that he wouldn¡¯t be able to get a hold of himself.
This wretch was really a wildcat. She had always been one to not give up easily ever since they were kids. Even when he was kissing him, she would keep resisting him when he wanted to go deeper. How she kept fighting back was turning him on too much.
Pinned down on the sofa, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was red. She exuded a wondrous womanly scent and seemed so appetizing.

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Yin Shaojie buried his head between her neck as he breathed in her womanly scent.
The smell of her calmed his frustration.
All thoseplicated matters were no longer important. What mattered was that she was now by his side.
He ruffled her hair and whispered in her ear in a husky voice. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you were going to make it up to me? Let¡¯s take a shower togetherter.¡±
Blushing, Mu Xiaoxiao retorted. ¡°No! I didn¡¯t agree to that.¡±
¡°You¡¯re misbehaving! Are you asking for a spanking?¡± Yin Shaojie gave her a fierce look and pped the side of her butt.
Reminded that he had gone to see Su Lin behind her back, Mu Xiaoxiao snorted. ¡°You¡¯re the one who misbehaving. Did something happen between you and Su Lin that you haven¡¯t told me yet?¡±
Yin Shaojie was stunned, and he said guiltily, ¡°No!¡±
¡°No?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao immediately pushed him away, sat up, and took out her cell phone. She opened up the amusement park photo and showed it to him, ring at him angrily.
¡°What is this then? Tell me, is this picture photoshopped?¡±
Yin Shaojie sat on the sofa, grabbed her cell phone and seriously checked the photo.
Mu Xiaoxiao asked again, ¡°Tell me, is this picture photoshopped or not?¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t answer her. With furrowed brows, he tried to recall exactly when this photo was taken. But one thing he was certain of was that this picture wasn¡¯t photoshopped.
¡°When you took me to the amusement park previously, I asked you, didn¡¯t I?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pped his shoulder angrily. ¡°I asked if you had taken other girls there with you before. So you tricked me and made me think that you really haven¡¯t been there with anyone else? It turns out that you already went there with Su Lin¡¡±
¡°No!¡± Yin Shaojie caught her little hand that was hitting him.
¡°No what?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. ¡°Own up to the facts. When did you go there with Su Lin? Why did you have to go with her? During my absence from China did you be very close with her?¡±
Yin Shaojieughed bitterly. ¡°Of course not! This is¡ Let me think. I think it¡¯s from the time when we went together for an activity organized by the Student Union. So many people went there, not just the two of us.¡±
It was such an unimportant event that he had almost forgotten.
He had even almost forgotten if he had even been there with Su Lin as in the photo.
However, from what he could tell, this photo was indeed not photoshopped.
Mu Xiaoxiao pointed at his nose. ¡°Really? Don¡¯t lie to me. Don¡¯t forget, Qiqing and Shijun are from the Student Union. I can ask them, and they¡¯ll tell me if this event really happened.¡±
He could try to lie to her if he dared!
¡°You reminded me of something,¡± Yin Shaojie said as he took out his cell phone and called Song Shijun.
Looking at Mu Xiaoxiao, he said, ¡°Let¡¯s ask Shijun. He can prove whether what I said is true, alright?¡±
To prove that he was innocent, he turned on the loudspeaker.
Shortly, the call was then connected.
Song Shijun¡¯s voice was heard from the phone. ¡°Shaojie! I just happened to have something to tell you.¡±
¡°What is it?¡± Yin Shaojie asked casually.
Song Shijun said hurriedly, ¡°In the afternoon, when we were in the lounge of the Student Union, Qiqing snooped through Xiaoxiao¡¯s phone when she fell asleep and then we found out¡¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Before he could finish speaking, Mu Xiaoxiao eximed, ¡°You guys snooped through my phone?¡±
Song Shijun was silent for a moment. ¡°Uh¡ Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re there too?¡±
He had initially wanted to check if Yin Shaojie had dated Su Lin in the past, but he didn¡¯t expect Mu Xiaoxiao to be with Him. Thus, he couldn¡¯t bring himself to ask the question.
Song Shijun hastily exined to her, ¡°Qiqing didn¡¯t snoop through your private stuff. She was only looking through Su Lin¡¯s Moments. She was worried about you and she wanted to see if Su Lin was¡¡±
¡°She only checked through Su Lin¡¯s Moments?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was worried that the reason Qiqing looked through her phone was because of Lu Yichen.
¡°Yeah, I was there. So I can assure you that she only looked through Su Lin¡¯s Moments.¡±
¡°Why did you guys want to look through Su Lin¡¯s Moments? What did you find?¡±
¡°We did find something. It¡¯s just¡¡± Song Shijun hesitated.
Yin Shaojie suddenly interjected, ¡°Did you guys also find something off with Su Lin? I¡¯ve only just found out that the reason she went to America was to treat her mental illness.¡±
Song Shijun was startled. ¡°What? Su Lin has a mental illness?¡±
¡°Yeah. When I went to the hospital to see her today she was acting quite off, so I got someone to investigate. Never did I expect this. You can tell Qiqing about this matter, but don¡¯t tell anyone else.¡±
¡°Got it. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not one to gossip. It¡¯s no wonder, when I looked through her Moments with Qiqing, I thought some of her posts were a bit strange. So that¡¯s why¡¡± Song Shijunmented.
Yin Shaojie changed the subject. ¡°We¡¯ll talk more about this next time. Now I have to ask you something. When Su Lin was in China, our Student Union organized trip to a new amusement park. Do you remember that?¡±
¡°I remember,¡± Song Shijun replied without a second¡¯s thought.
Yin Shaojie smiled at Mu Xiaoxiao, his eyes seemed to say: ¡°See I didn¡¯t lie to you.¡±
After hanging up the phone, he said to Xiaoxiao, ¡°Is there anything else you want to ask?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged and was going to say no when she a thought suddenly came to her. She pointed to him and said, ¡°Tell me clearly now. Have you been to the amusement park alone with other girls?¡±
Yin Shaojie wrapped her finger in big hands and said seriously, ¡°No. I swear I didn¡¯t!¡±
¡°Really?¡±
¡°Really! When did I ever lie to you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao muttered, ¡°You lied to me many times.¡±
¡°On what asion?¡± Yin Shaojie implied that he had never lied.
Mu Xiaoxiao snorted and said. ¡°You often lied to me when we were young. You even told me that you were going to take me and leave home, but you didn¡¯t do it. Isn¡¯t that a lie?¡±
Yin Shaojie was unsure whether tough or cry, ¡°That counts?¡±
This was obviously him trying to pacify her when she was having disputes with her family.
Mu Xiaoxiaomented. ¡°I really wanted to experience what it feels like to run away from home. It¡¯s all your fault! You didn¡¯t keep your promises!¡±
¡°Okay then. I¡¯ll take you to leave home next time, alright?¡±
¡°But it feels different¡¡±
As the two bantered, Yin Shaojie¡¯s cell phone rang.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She looked at him and said, ¡°It¡¯s not Su Lin calling, is it?¡±
When Yin Shaojie saw the caller ID, it seemed strange.
¡°It¡¯s not Su Lin but her father..¡±
He had deleted Su Lin¡¯s contact. But since Papa Su was an elder, he didn¡¯t delete him from his contacts.
Chapter 835 - She Was Targeting Him
Chapter 835: She Was Targeting Him
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao looked puzzled. ¡°Why is her father calling you?¡±
After all, it was a call from an elder. It wouldn¡¯t be appropriate for him to not answer the call. Thus, he answered the phone and hung up after a short talk.
Mu Xiaoxiao watched from beside him.
Yin Shaojie turned to her and said, ¡°Uncle Su asked to meet me tomorrow to talk about something important.¡±
¡°Could it have¡ something to do with Su Lin¡¯s problem?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao made a guess.
Su Lin is the only precious daughter in their family, so Papa Su and Mama Su were particrly loving of Su Lin. They would indulge her ever since she was young, thus resulting in Su Lin¡¯s bossy personality.
Yin Shaojie nodded and said, ¡°Probably.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t Su Lin say that her parents are not in China?¡±
¡°Little dummy!¡± Yin Shaojie reached out and pinched her little nose as heughed, ¡°You¡¯re so gullible. Did you not even have any suspicion that she might be lying?¡±
¡°Ah? So you mean that Su Lin lied to us? Her parents have always been around in China, but.. why did she have to lie?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao wrinkled her forehead, feeling at a loss. She felt that she was getting even further from understanding Su Lin¡¯s thought pattern.
Yin Shaojie looked into her eyes and asked in turn, ¡°Why? If her parents were not around, and she had gotten her injuries because of you, would you feel bad for her? Would that make you feel like visiting her more? That¡¯s what she¡¯s targeting.¡±
To put it simply, she was targeting him.
However, since he was suspicious of Su Lin from the start, he didn¡¯t allow himself to be led along ording to her n.
¡°Oh, so that¡¯s what she¡¯s doing¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao sighed as she leaned her head against his shoulder.
Yin Shaojie touched her hair and said, ¡°Sigh. Don¡¯t be so gullible next time. I keep having the feeling that you might get abducted someday.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao ttened her mouth. ¡°It¡¯s very tiring having to be wary of everything that people say.¡±
Hearing that, Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help butugh, ¡°So, you¡¯re actually justzy? You¡¯re toozy to be wary of others, so you choose to trust them?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not so bad. It¡¯s not like I will lose a piece of flesh if I trusted them,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said indifferently.
Yin Shaojie stared at her. ¡°So you haven¡¯t thought about what happens if I wasn¡¯t wary of Su Lin, and you let visit her every day and spend time alone with her in the ward? Aren¡¯t you afraid something may happen between us?¡±
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao sulked for a while.
She thought that she would lose a piece of flesh. A huge piece of flesh!
¡°Okay¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said weakly. ¡°I¡¯ll be more careful and not be so trusting of what other people say.¡±
¡°Yeah, good girl.¡± Yin Shaojie kissed her on her cheek.
Huddling close to each other, the two sat on the sofa for a while before Yin Shaojie said softly. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. Should we go take a shower?¡±
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao quickly got up and hurriedly got down the sofa to put on her slippers.
¡°I need to go find Xiaomeng for something. You go shower first then!¡±
Like a wisp of smoke, she ran out of the apartment.
Yin Shaojie smiled helplessly as he watched her.
Mu Xiaoxiao ran next door and pressed the doorbell. Thinking that someone woulde to open the door quickly, she didn¡¯t expect not to even hear a single sound from inside.
Were Xiaomeng and Ye Sijue still not back from their meal outside?
Mu Xiaoxiao tapped on the door, ¡°Xiaomeng, Ye Sijue, are you there?¡±
However, there was still no response.

¡°Seems like they¡¯re not in¡¡± If Xiaomeng was in, she would have answered the door so they should be outside.
Mu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to shuffle in her slippers back to their apartment.
Unexpectedly, Yin Shaojie was standing at the entrance, arms folded at his chest, looking as if he had already guessed it, and he asked, ¡°What? They¡¯re not home?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°Yeah, maybe they went out to eat and are still not back yet.¡±
The corner of Yin Shaojie¡¯s mouth turned up in a smile, and he proffered his hands to her. ¡°Well, let¡¯s go take a shower then.¡±
A couple¡¯s shower!
His eyes seemed to sh these words.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked stunned. She went under his arms and past him. ¡°I told you to go take a shower first. I¡¯m a little worried for Xiaoxiao. I¡¯ll go make a call!¡±
Then, like a wisp of smoke, she ran into the room and mmed the door.
Yin Shaojie followed. He stood by the door and knocked on the door.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s voice came from inside. ¡°Stop ying already! Go take a shower yourself!¡±
Yin Shaojie knew that she was shy, so he didn¡¯t press her. He chuckled and said, ¡°If you want me to go take a shower, you gotta let me get my pajamas, right? How am I supposed to get my pajamas when you close the door like this?¡±
In the room, Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated and wanted to open the door, but she was worried that he might be up to some trickery.
If she opened the door, would he drag her to the bathroom to take a shower together?
It still seemed like a trap!
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°Pajamas, right? I will help you get them. Wait there!¡±
With that said, she ran into the cloakroom, opened his wardrobe, fished out his pajamas and carried them out.
Cracking open the door, she threw the pajamas to him and mmed the door again.
Outside, Yin Shaojie held his pajamas. Looking down, he smiled bitterly. Then he knocked on the door again.
¡°What now?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°I¡¯m missing a piece.¡±
¡°No, I gave it all to you, didn¡¯t I?¡± She clearly took out a set of pajamas.
¡°Let me go in and get it.¡±
¡°Tell me what you¡¯re missing. I¡¯ll get it for you.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao insisted that he stayed outside. The more he behaved like this, the more she thought he was up to something.
Putting a hand on the door, Yin Shaojie¡¯s smile was suggestive as he said, ¡°You didn¡¯t get my underwear¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao froze.
U-under¡
She caught herself before her thoughts continued picturing him only wearing underwear¡ Stop! Stop!
¡°W-will you die if you don¡¯t wear it?¡± she said as her face blushed.
Yin Shaojie replied her, ¡°What do you think?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know what else to do. Hesitating for a moment, she then ran to the cloakroom.
Looking through the wardrobe, it wasn¡¯t at the top. Her eyes turned to the drawer at the bottom. They should be here, right?
Pulling open the drawer, sure enough, she saw his under¡ wear.
Mu Xiaoxiao blushed. Her little hand reached out and drew back. It reached out again and drew back. She just didn¡¯t have the courage to pick it up.
Finally, she gave in.
Forget it. She would let hime in and take it himself!
Maybe, she was worrying for nothing? Perhaps he was just teasing her and was not going to force her to take a couple¡¯s shower?
After some thought, she went back to the door and pulled the door wide open.
She didn¡¯t dare to look at his eyes. She looked away and said, ¡°Go and get it yourself.¡±
Yin Shaojie walked in, his eyes filled with amusement, and the manly scent wafted up right in front of her.
¡°Why didn¡¯t you help me?¡± he asked, his elegant face looking puzzled.

Mu Xiaoxiao knew that he was only mocking her, so she retreated a step. ¡°It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t have hands. Why should I help you?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s warm breath wafted closer to her, following her like a shadow.
¡°You were the one who said that you wanted to help me.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to take it for you now! Hurry up and go get it!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pushed him, not letting him get closer.
The room was so big. Why must he stand so close to talk to her?
He was deliberately teasing her!
Yin Shaojie shrugged his shoulders and walked into the cloakroom.
After some thought, Mu Xiaoxiao took her cell phone and went to the balcony, trying to avoid him.
However, Yin Shaojie appeared behind her shortly, hugging her slender waist.
¡°Hurry up and go shower,¡± she said, embarrassed.
¡°I want to hold you for a while,¡± Yin Shaojie said in a deep, maic voice beside her ear; it was like the most captivating sounds of a piano.
Mu Xiaoxiao was still as she let him hold her.
After a minute, she said, ¡°Is ¡®a while¡¯ over now?¡±
She looked at her phone and thought about making a phone call. But it was inconvenient with him sticking close to her like that.
¡°Why so anxious? It¡¯s still early. The shower won¡¯t take too long.¡± But there wasn¡¯t always time for romance.
Mu Xiaoxiao said funnily, ¡°Who was the one who said it waste just now?¡±
¡°What I meant was that if we take a shower together, we could save more time than if we took showers one at a time.¡± Yin Shaojie said, looking serious. He kissed her on her cheek.
Mu Xiaoxiao nudged him with her elbow.
¡°Hurry up and go shower. I have to call Xiaomeng to check where she is now.¡±
¡°She has Sijue with her. She¡¯ll be alright¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao muttered, ¡°It¡¯s precisely because he¡¯s there that I¡¯m worried. It feels like I¡¯m putting the little sheep next to the big bad wolf.¡±
Yin Shaojie tightened his hold on her and asked in a sexy voice beside her ear, ¡°You really¡ don¡¯t want to take a shower together?¡±
¡°No, I don¡¯t!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and rejected him.
Yin Shaojie pretended to disappointed. Then suddenly, he picked her up.
¡°Let¡¯s go shower!¡±
¡°No, stop! Put me down!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao struggled as the two frolicked.
Actually, if Yin Shaojie really wanted to, she would already be in the bathroom by now.
Just then, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s cell phone rang.
¡°The phone! The phone!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shouted as she looked at the phone that was dropped onto the carpet.
Grudgingly, Yin Shaojie let go of her.
Mu Xiaoxiao leaned down to get the phone. The caller ID indicated that it was Qiqing calling.
¡°It¡¯s Qiqing calling,¡± she reported to him, and then she waved to him, ¡°You go take a shower!¡±
Then she answered the phone and went to sit on the sofa, ignoring him.
Yin Shaojie watched her awkwardly. He still wanted to y a little longer with her. But Qiqing just had to pick the wrong time to call!
He picked up the clothes on the chair and walked out of the room.
Mu Xiaoxiao watched as he left while talking to Han Qiqing.
¡°Xiaoxiao, I heard Shijun say that Su Lin is really mental ill?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was hugging a pillow, leaning back against the sofa, holding the cell phone in her hand, her expressionplicated as she said, ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s true. Jie sent people to investigate the reason she went to America, and he found out that she went there to treat her mental illness.¡±

Chapter 838: They Dated
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Han Qiqing said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect her to have this illness¡ She always seemed normal. But I seem to remember a period before she went to America when she was acting quite strange.¡±
¡°Oh? What was strange about her?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was curious.
Could it be that something happened to Su Lin that resulted in her current condition?
After all, why would a healthy person, who showed no signs of mental disorder, suddenly be ill with it?
She still could hardly believe it. She thought that mental illness was only something that was seen on TV and in novels. It felt unreal to be witnessing a real case of it in her life.
Although mental illness wasn¡¯t a fatal illness, people typically could not be fully cured. Even if the patient¡¯s condition became stable, it might still recur again in the future. This was what made the illness so troublesome.
Han Qiqing seemed to be recalling the incident for a while. Then, she said, ¡°How do I put it¡ Actually, I didn¡¯t hang out with her much in that period. It was just that I saw her a few times and thought she was quite strange. But since I wasn¡¯t too closer to her, I didn¡¯t give it much thought.¡±
¡°Did she go to ss normally then? Did you see her every day?¡±
¡°No, I think she skipped school quite often then. When I saw her, we weren¡¯t in school, but outside. Oh yeah! During that period she had some bodyguards following her. It seemed like they were protecting her.¡±
¡°Bodyguards? Could she have been¡ kidnapped?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao spected. It was the first thought that came to her mind.
Han Qiqing said, ¡°I don¡¯t know about that. I never heard anything about this.¡±
Judging from their families¡¯ rtionships, if Su Lin was kidnapped, their families would have heard of it.
¡°Actually, I¡¯m thinking¡¡± Han Qiqing hesitated and said, ¡°Could Su Lin¡¯s condition have something to do with Yin Shaojie?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment as she was reminded of Uncle Su¡¯s call earlier.
Could Su Lin¡¯s condition really have something to do with Yin Shaojie? And Uncle Su called Yin Shaojie because of this?
The elders seldom hang out with the younger ones like them. They would at most exchange brief greetings when they met each other.
If it wasn¡¯t for Su Lin, why would Uncle Su personallye looking for Yin Shaojie?
Han Qiqing analyzed and said, ¡°Think about it. Su Lin¡¯s Moments is filled with stuff about Yin Shaojie. It seems like she is really¡¡±
She hesitated, unsure whether she should describe her as being obsessed or infatuated with Yin Shaojie.
But no matter which term she used, Xiaoxiao probably wouldn¡¯t be too happy hearing that, so in the end, she chose not to finish her sentence.
Han Qiqing continued, ¡°And did you notice this? The posts on her Moments, on the ount that she added you with, was all made during her time in America. In other words, she posted all those things when she was mentally ill.¡±
¡°So you snoop through my phone to look at these things.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao changed the subject, seeing as the mood was getting too serious.
¡°Actually it¡¯s because¡¡± Han Qiqing hesitated for a moment, and she continued saying, ¡°I guess I can tell you now. Initially, I suspected that Yin Shaojie had dated her. But from the looks of it now, we can¡¯t really believe the things that she posted on her Moments since she is mentally ill. It must have been delusions she had when she was ill.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. ¡°What did you say? They¡ dated?¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°No! I didn¡¯t say that. I said I suspected it. I was only suspecting it! But since we know that Su Lin is mentally ill, we don¡¯t need to suspect it anymore, do we?¡± It was because of this that she dared to bring up the topic to Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes shook a little, and she asked, ¡°Then there must be some reason that led you to suspect this, right?¡±
Han Qiqing was silent for a moment. She was beginning to regret saying what she said. Xiaoxiao¡¯s tone seemed like she didn¡¯t receive it very well.
She quickly replied to her, ¡°No! Didn¡¯t I.. snoop through your cell phone? That was what gave me that suspicion. Think about it. Given Yin Shaojie¡¯s personality, how could he have dated Su Lin? He isn¡¯t someone who shits where he eats. If he knew that Su Lin liked him so much, unless he really likes Su Lin, he wouldn¡¯t date her, would he? Otherwise, when ites time to break up with her, he couldn¡¯t just casually ditch her like he could do with other girls, right?¡±
Han Qiqing felt like she could hardly understand herself, hoping that Xiaoxiao could understand and stop suspecting.
She didn¡¯t even know if this actually happened or not. It was only her guess. If it didn¡¯t happen, she didn¡¯t want to cause a dispute between Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie.
This was also why she didn¡¯t bring it up to Xiaoxiao earlier. She was afraid that Xiaoxiao would let her imaginations run wild and worry for nothing.
Now that they knew Su Lin was mentally ill, wouldn¡¯t it clear things up?
Besides, those were all in the past. Now that Yin Shaojie loved Xiaoxiao, even if there was anything going on between him and Su Lin, it was not important anymore.
Mu Xiaoxiao pondered over her words and thought Qiqing did make sense.
But for some reason, something felt amiss.
But she couldn¡¯t tell what it was. Perhaps, the day had been too eventful that her head was all in a mess.
Hearing that she was silent, Qiqing continued saying, ¡°Sigh. Stop being so suspicious of Yin Shaojie. He¡¯s been so good to you. Don¡¯t you know how he feels about you?¡±
¡°Yeah, okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao finally said something.
Hearing no more gloominess in her voice, Han Qiqing was relieved.
¡°In any case, you two being happy together is all that matters. Don¡¯t let yourself be unhappy because of others. It¡¯s not worth it, don¡¯t you think so?¡±
The corner of her mouth turned up in a smile. ¡°Yeah, you¡¯re right.¡±
She never expected Qiqing to be able to say such profound stuff.
¡°Okay, don¡¯t think about it and go sleep. We¡¯ll see each other tomorrow. Just forget about Su Lin¡¯s problem for now.¡±
¡°Okay, good night.¡±
After hanging up the phone, Mu Xiaoxiao looked up at the night sky outside, mulling over what Qiqing had said.
She was right. It was not worth it to let others make them unhappy!
She only needed to trust that Yin Shaojie was true to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao breathed deeply. Then she wore a genuine smile.
Oh yeah!
She had forgotten to call Mo Xiaomeng. It was already sote. She wondered if Mo Xiaomeng was back already.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned cheerful, smiling as she dialed Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s number.
It rang for a while before the call was answered.
¡°Hello, Xiaoxiao.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao asked, ¡°Where are you? Aren¡¯t you back yet? I just went over to find you, but you aren¡¯t there.¡±
¡°Oh¡ I¡¯m outside. Maybe, I won¡¯t be going back today,¡± Mo Xiaomeng replied in a crisp voice, sounding like she was in a good mood.

Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. ¡°You¡¯re noting back? Why?¡±
¡°Ah? Because we went out. We¡¯re staying somewhere else. Maybe¡ we¡¯ll go back in two days time. Xiaoxiao, are you feeling better already?¡±
Staying somewhere else?
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. Just when she was going to ask her where they were now, she heard Mo Xiaomeng moaning.
¡°Stop¡ don¡¯t touch that¡ gentler¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stupefied. What was happening?
Xiaomeng¡ Why was she making this kind of sound!
Mu Xiaoxiao was immediately reminded of the time when she was being yed by Yin Shaojie, she seemed to have also made the same¡ moaning sound.
And from her sound of her conversation, it seemed very fishy!
She asked anxiously, ¡°Xiaomeng? Just where exactly are you? What are you doing now?¡±
¡°We are¡ Ah! No¡¡± Mo Xiaomeng screamed, and she even made a furtive gasping sound.
Mu Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded, and she quickly asked, ¡°Tell me quickly!¡±
Why would she say ¡®no¡¯?
And what was that about being gentler?
They were not getting¡ intimate, were they?
Listening to Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s moaning, she could only feel her ears getting hot as well.
Mo Xiaomeng said, ¡°We are in¡ Sijue, what is the name of this ce? I forgot. Geez, stop that. It hurts.¡±
In the next second, Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to have heard vaguely Ye Sijue¡¯s voice.
¡°You have to endure the pain. It¡¯ll feel better soon.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s brain began spinning fantasies. All kinds of naughty scenes came into her mind.
Just when she was so absorbed in it, suddenly an arm tapped on her shoulder.
¡°Still on the phone?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao jolted. In a very big reaction, she turned her head to look.
Yin Shaojie looked at her inexplicably. ¡°Why is your face so red? Are you having a fever?¡±
Then he reached out to check her temperature.
Her forehead wasn¡¯t hot, but her cheeks¡ seemed quite hot.
Looking at her watery eyes, Yin Shaojie seemed to realize something from the color of her eyes. Heughed. ¡°Who are you talking to? Mo Xiaomeng? Could they be¡¡±
Given his smarts, he instantly figured out what she was thinking about.
Mu Xiaoxiao coughed awkwardly. ¡°I also don¡¯t know what¡¯s happening there¡¡±
It was only a phone call. Why did it feel like she was listening to pornography?
Then, Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s voice was heard over the phone. ¡°Xiaoxiao, I asked him! This ce is called Nanxiang Old Town. It¡¯s just beside City A. Sijue brought me here on a trip. He said that there is a Water Lantern Festival tonight. There¡¯s lots ofnterns. It¡¯s beautiful! Xiaoxiao, do you want toe over too?¡±
Hearing that she was starting to sound normal again, she asked again, ¡°What¡ were you two doing just now? Why did I hear you¡ scream?¡±
Actually, she meant to ask why she moaned, but she was embarrassed to use this word.
Mo Xiaomeng exined, ¡°Was it so bad? It¡¯s because when I was making the waterntern, I identally hurt my fingers. Sijue was applying ointment over it. It hurts a bit.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
So that was what they were doing¡
Sigh. That was totally different from what she had been guessing!
¡°I thought you guys were¡¡±
¡°You thought we were what?¡± Mo Xiaomeng asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that this subject was too awkward to discuss, so she quickly changed the subject, saying, ¡°Oh, it¡¯s nothing. Are you having fun? Water Lantern Festival, hmm. I think I did go for it once when I was young, but I haven¡¯t gone for it after that time. It should be quite fun, right?¡±

¡°Yeah, it¡¯s interesting! Very fun!¡± Mo Xiaomengughed happily.
¡°Xiaoxiao, it¡¯s a pity that you have sses. Otherwise, I would really like toe here with you.¡±
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help feeling moved. She was itching so badly to head over there right then.
But it was already sote.
Mu Xiaoxiao nced at Yin Shaojie beside her, who was looking sulky.
With a puzzled expression, Yin Shaojie gave her a questioning look, as though he was asking her if something was up with Mo Xiaomeng.
Mo Xiaomeng continued saying, ¡°Oh yeah. Sijue said that this Water Lantern Festival will be held for three days, and the third day just happens to be a Friday. Xiaoxiao, see if you cane here on Friday? Xiaoxiao, having stayed in China for so long already, you still haven¡¯t spent much time with me¡ I really want to have more wonderful memories together with you.¡±
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little guilty.
Mo Xiaomeng came to China to visit and spend time with her, but she hadn¡¯t been able to find the time to hang out with Xiaomeng. She was feeling quite guilty.
Moreover, Mu Xiaoxiao also wanted to go for the Water Lantern Festival, so she promised her, saying, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go. Enjoy your time with Sijue for now. Wait for me. I¡¯ll see when I can head down there.¡±
¡°Really? That¡¯s great!¡± Mo Xiaomeng eximed like an excited little bird.
Infected by her high spirits, Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said. ¡°Enjoy yourself then. I¡¯ll see you then.¡±
¡°Mm, alright. We¡¯ll chat again next time. We¡¯ll go and release thenterns now.¡±
¡°Alright then. Bye bye.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao hung up the phone, and her little brows wrinkled.
Yin Shaojie crept himself up to her from behind, his arms around her, he asked beside her ear, ¡°What happened?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao snorted at him. ¡°See how romantic Sijue is. He took Xiaomeng to the Water Lantern Festival. What did you do?¡±
Yin Shaojieughed. So that was what she was grumbling about.
¡°Did you tell Xiaomeng when you will go and meet her?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not telling you! I will go there myself when the timees!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao deliberately looked away from him.
¡°You want to go there by yourself? You really don¡¯t want me to go with you?¡± With his strong arms, Yin Shaojie tightened his hold on her. His elegant face pressing against her delicate cheeks, his voice became deeper and sounded more alluring.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. ¡°You only know how to make me angry and upset! You can go look for Su Lin. I¡¯ll find someone else to go with to the Water Lantern Festival.¡±
The Water Lantern Festival was also to some people a Valentine¡¯s Day, where couples would make a waterntern together and release it onto the water to make their wish to be together forever.
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes. ¡°Who are you going to ask? That Feng Shengyang?¡±
At the mention of that person¡¯s name, he sounded quite jealous.
Mu Xiaoxiao tilted up her chin like a queen and snorted. ¡°With my charm, I can find a handsome guy easily. I don¡¯t need you!¡±
He wasn¡¯t the only one who could charm many. Back when she was in America, lots of people tried to court her, okay?
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes turned dangerous. ¡°You would rather find someone else then to take me there with you?¡±
¡°Aren¡¯t you meeting Uncle Su tomorrow? Uncle Su must be looking for your help. How would you have time to go for this thing.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said gloomily as she leaned back into his arms.
Her head tilted to the side, cing her ear right at his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat.
Of course, she hoped that he would be the one to apany her.
Yin Shaojie held up her little hand and put it in his. cing his lips at her ear, he said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll go with you. No matter where you want to go, I¡¯ll go with you. Don¡¯t even think about finding some other guy to go with you, do you hear?¡±

For the first time, Mu Xiaoxiao liked how domineering he sounded. She turned around and wrapped her little hands around his neck.
With ck, bright eyes, she stared at him. ¡°Really? No matter where I want to go, you¡¯ll go with me?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Yin Shaojie nodded.
A smile spread across her face. ¡°Let¡¯s go tomorrow then!¡±
Yin Shaojie squinted at her, as if he had seen through her motive. ¡°You are trying to skip sses, aren¡¯t you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted, ¡°Better to take action than to sit on it, right? If we wait another day, we¡¯ll lose our enthusiasm. You have no idea how how much I¡¯ve restrained myself. I could have gone there tonight!¡±
She was just the kind of excitable person. Whenever she felt like doing something, she must immediately put it into action. She didn¡¯t want to wait.
Yin Shaojie pinched her nose. ¡°Alright! Tomorrow it is. After I meet Uncle Su tomorrow and see what he wants to talk to me about, I¡¯ll go there with you, alright?¡±
¡°Hehe. Okay! Anyways, since we are not going to school, then let¡¯s go earlier so I can still spend half a day over there, then head over to the Water Lantern Festival in the evening. Oh yeah. What time is Uncle Su meeting you?¡± With her arms around his neck, Mu Xiaoxiao was just like a kitty nestling in his arms.
Yin Shaojie looked down at the happy look of her.
Compared to how she was earlier, she looked really happy and filled with energy. She had returned to her old self.
He liked seeing her like this and not how she was in the afternoon, where he could see negativity written all over her face.
Yin Shaojie tightened his hold on her and sighed inwardly.
He swore that he must protect her happiness so that she could continue to be as carefree as before and live every day happily.
¡°He asked to meet in the afternoon, but I will tell him tomorrow to meet in the morning.¡± He replied and made a gentle kiss behind her neck.
¡°Geez, stop it. It¡¯s ticklish!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao giggled as she hooked onto his neck.
Yin Shaojie suddenly ced her on the sofa, and then his thin lips started to suck heavily on her neck.
¡°What are you doing?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked inexplicably.
Yin Shaojie sucked and left a red mark on her. Satisfied, he replied her, ¡°nting a strawberry.¡±
With that said, he bent down and sucked at her neck again.
Mu Xiaoxiao snapped out of it and quickly tried to break free from him, screaming, ¡°Stop it! How am I going to go out in public tomorrow if you nt it at such a visible spot!¡±
Yin Shaojie snorted.
It was precisely that he want others to know she already belonged to him that he branded her with his mark!
As she continued to resist him, Yin Shaojie only managed to nt two strawberries.
However, two were enough.
Yin Shaojie was very pleased as he admired his own handiwork.
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him and hit him. ¡°Geez! Why do I have the feeling that you¡¯re the strawberry lover? All you think about is nting strawberries¡¡±
And he was nting strawberries on her, without even regarding her wishes. He was too despicable!
Yin Shaojie leaned over her, pressing himself against her petite body.
Heughed mischievously. Admitting shamelessly, he nodded and said. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m now a strawberry maniac. I don¡¯t just like to nt strawberries, I also like to eat them!¡±
¡°Since you don¡¯t like me nting it on your neck, I¡¯ll nt it somewhere else then¡¡± With that said, he stared with a perverted gaze at her chest.
¡°Pervert!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao blushed.

Chapter 843: A Little Too Impatient

Yin Shaojie looked up into her eyes with mischief in his smirk as he asked, ¡°Where do you want me to nt it? Here? Or here?¡±
Fingers slid across her corbone suggestively, and then downward between her breasts.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ears turned red from his bewitching gaze, and her heartbeat raced uncontrobly.
She pushed him. ¡°I don¡¯t like it. Don¡¯t nt it anymore!¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯srge body didn¡¯t even budge, as if her strength was only as strong as a mosquito.
He asked again, ¡°We¡¯ll do it differently then. Which part of my body would you like to nt the strawberry?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly halted. She touched his elegant face, she grinned and said, ¡°I want to nt it here¡¡±
With that said, she pulled his pajamas to one side, brought her mouth to his shoulder, opened her mouth and bit down on it.
Releasing after a few seconds, a bite mark covered with saliva was printed.
However, the bite wasn¡¯t deep enough, so the bite mark wasn¡¯t very clear.
Yin Shaojie turned to the side to look at the mark, and he said funnily, ¡°You can bite a little harder. This bite mark won¡¯tst till tomorrow.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t bear to really bite him, so she only made a shallow bite and was contented just being able to see the bite mark.
But since he said that, her eyebrows raised as she wanted to bite again to deepen the bite mark.
However, when she looked at his muscles, she gave up.
¡°Never mind. I¡¯m not biting anymore¡±
Though he might not find it painful, she didn¡¯t want to get a toothache.
When he was distracted, Mu Xiaoxiao took the chance to quickly push him away and slipped away from under him.
¡°I have to go take a shower!¡±
Like a wisp of smoke, she ran into the bathroom.
Yin Shaojie was pushed down onto the sofa, lying on his side. He watched her little petite figure as she ran out of the bathroom to the bedroom to take her pajamas, then running back to the bathroom again.
He chuckled and sighed helplessly.
¡°Little girl, little girl, please grow up quickly. Do you think that I only wanted to nt strawberries?¡±
He also wanted to do other things besides nting strawberries.
But she was unwilling, and he couldn¡¯t force her.
However,e to think of it, he was indeed a bit too impatient. She was only sixteen years old, still a young and ignorant girl who just fell in love. To suddenly expect her to roll under the bedsheets with him was perhaps too fast for her.
Yin Shaojie couldn only console himself to take it easy. Since this little girl was his anyways, no one could take her away from him, he could keep her and wait till she became ripe for him to pick her and eat her up.
Sometimes, though results were important, the process could also be quite wonderful by itself.
¡
When Mu Xiaoxiao came out of the shower, Yin Shaojie was talking on the phone.
¡°I¡¯m won¡¯t be going. It¡¯s already sote. Yes, I¡¯m apanying my wife. It¡¯s none of your business, is it? Enjoy yourselves. I¡¯m busytely. Next time then. God, are you annoying?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao went over and sat down beside him, tidying her hair as she asked, ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±
Yin Shaojie covered the cell phone, his elegant face leaned close to her, and he said, ¡°They told me to go racing. Haven¡¯t I been keeping youpany recently? I haven¡¯t even been out having fun, am I good or not?¡±
As though demanding a reward, he pecked a kiss on her cheek.
Although he covered the phone¡¯s microphone, the people on the other side were smart. How could they not know what was going on at their side?
Suddenly, there were hooting heard over the phone.
¡°Young Master Jie, who¡¯s your wife? Have we met her? Bring her out sometime and let us see her! Young Master Jie actually has a wife. How rare!¡±

¡°Cut the crap. Why would I even show you guys.¡±
¡°Aw, Young Master Jie. It¡¯s only for a little while. We can race just onep. It¡¯s not even ten o¡¯ clock now. It¡¯s still early!¡±
Yin Shaojie spoke into the phone, ¡°I told you I¡¯m not going. You all lost to me. What¡¯s the fun of racing you guys? I¡¯m gonna win anyways. It¡¯s not gonna change even if I go this time.¡±
¡°Young Master Jie, you¡¯ll find out when you get here. There¡¯s a strong challenger here today! Didn¡¯t some strong kid appear in East City recently? He hase to our territory to wreck us. We all lost to him.¡±
Yin Shaojie scoffed. ¡°That¡¯s the reason you¡¯re asking me to go there? You all lost? That bad?¡±
On the other side of the phone, the person said embarrassedly, ¡°That kid is really strong¡ totally ruthless. We just can¡¯t win him. Young Master Jie, you¡¯re our only hope now!¡±
¡°Tsk. I told you I¡¯m going to keep my wifepany. It is already ten o¡¯clock. It¡¯ll be after midnight already after I go there ande back. We still have things to do tomorrow.¡± Though Yin Shaojie was intrigued, he still declined after ncing at Mu Xiaoxiao.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenlye up to him, tapped on his hand, vigorously nodding her head as she said, ¡°Go, go!¡±
Seeing the glimmer in her eyes, Yin Shaojie thought it must not be anything good.
He frowned and asked, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that you want to go?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°Yeah, didn¡¯t you take me there before? It¡¯s quite interesting. Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. Anyways, it¡¯s still early. We can just treat it as going for a spin.¡±
The thought of Mo Xiaomeng ying waternterns in Nanxiang Old Town while she had nothing to do at home was just upsetting!
Anyways, since she was still quite energetic and wasn¡¯t feeling sleepy, she might as well go out for a while.
The person over the phone probably heard the voice of Mu Xiaoxiao, and he also persuaded Yin Shaojie, saying, ¡°Yeah, Young Master Jie,e for a while. It¡¯s a rare opportunity today. You don¡¯t know how arrogant the kid from East City was acting! You must help us to break his spirit!¡±
Squinting as he watched Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s shaking his hand, Yin Shaojie finally responded. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go.¡±
It sounded like many people were cheering over the phone.
Yin Shaojie hung up the phone and threw the cell phone aside. He grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s shoulder with both hands and solemnly said to her, ¡°I can take you there, but on three conditions.¡±
¡°Three conditions? What three conditions?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao batted her eyes, her long eyshes fluttering.
¡°First, you¡¯re not allowed to join in the race like thest time. Second, you¡¯re not allowed to look at other men. And third, you¡¯re not allowed to speak to other men!¡± Yin Shaojie said bossily.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°¡ You might as well make me stay at home!¡±
Yin Shaojie grinned and said, ¡°I think so too.¡±
He didn¡¯t want to take her out to meet those fair-weather friends of his.
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him, jumped up from the sofa and said, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go. Everyone is waiting for us. Come on, let¡¯s go ande back early. We still have to go find Xiaomeng tomorrow!¡±
She had no doubt that he would win since she saw how good he was at racing thest time. That was why those guys were so in a hurry to get him to help save their lost faces.
So she would just treat it as going for a spin ande back after he won the race.
¡°Oh yeah, there should be betting, right? I remember thatst time the stakes were very high. Now that there is a strong challenger, the stakes should be even higher, right?¡±

When ites to bets, Mu Xiaoxiao grew excited.
¡°Probably, we¡¯ll find out when we get there.¡± Yin Shaojie took her hand as the two walked to the entrance, wore their shoes and went out.
Yin Shaojie picked a silver Bugatti and drove off from the condominium.
Along the way, Mu Xiaoxiao had him open the roof to the convertible. It was really like taking a leisurely ride, basking in the night breeze as they headed unhurriedly to Mt. Akima.
However, Yin Shaojie suddenly changed direction midway.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him puzzled. ¡°What¡¯s up? Aren¡¯t we going in that direction?¡±
Yin Shaojieughed. ¡°We¡¯ll go and buy something. We¡¯ll head over there afterwards. No rush.¡±
¡°What are we buying?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. Then she watched as he turned the car into a night market street.
The car was parked in the shadows by the roadside, which was not a very noticeable spot.
Yin Shaojie turned to her and said, ¡°We¡¯ll buy something to eat there lest you get hungry.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or cry, ¡°People are all waiting for you. Yet you¡¯re still bring me here to buy food?¡±
Yin Shaojie shrugged andughed arrogantly. ¡°Let them wait then.¡±
As the star of the final battle, he couldn¡¯t be expected to arrive punctually, right? Of course, he had to arriveter. Once they get anxious waiting, he would then make a dazzling appearance and look cool!
¡°Come on, get out of the car. You can take your time shopping.¡± Yin Shaojie got out of the car. Seeing as she had not opened the door, he walked over to the other side of the car, opened the door for her and pulled her out. ¡°What are you so worried about? That ce is very near. We can reach there in about ten minutes. They won¡¯t be waiting long.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him and said, ¡°I just realized how bad you can be!¡±
¡°Hehe, thanks for thepliment.¡± Yin Shaojie was unashamed, but felt proud of himself instead.
He took her little hand as they went into the night market.
This was the most famous night market street in City A. At about this time was when the crowd was the heaviest, so the whole street was full of people.
In order not to let people bump into her, Yin Shaojie walked in front of her.
¡°See what you want to eat,¡± he said.
Mu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, and her eyes lit up. ¡°Smells good!¡±
She remembered that she had been to this night market when she was younger. She hadn¡¯te back here ever since she went to America, but the ce had already changed quite a bit.
It should be expected since development in the city happened very fast. There could be many changes in one year, let alone four years.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but look at Yin Shaojie in front of him. His tall and broad figure protected her well behind him.
What would the two¡¯s rtionship be in a year¡¯s time?
What she thought she could imagine for the future was hard to imagine now. Many more things could happen now.
But at least, she believed they would have a good future.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled.
Walking past a Chinese crepe stall, Yin Shaojie looked back at her. ¡°What do you want to eat? Why are you keeping quiet?¡±
¡°There¡¯s so many nice food here. My eyes are dazzled. I was too busy admiring the food to talk,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said as she looked around. Everything seemed appetizing. The glutton in her was awaken.
She suddenly saw something and tugged at his hand.
¡°Wow! This one! The small sausage inrge sausage. I¡¯ve tried this before. It¡¯s very nice!¡±
Looking at those oily food, Yin Shaojie¡¯s furrowed his brows. ¡°Isn¡¯t this too greasy? Are you sure you want to eat greasy food sote at night?¡±

¡°I just feel like eating this! Didn¡¯t you say that I can eat anything I want? Hurry and buy this for me!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao ordered him out of habit. After making him buy it for her, she pointed at the desert at the other side, making him buy that too.
Within a few minutes, her hands was filled with food. She ate as they continued walking through the crowd.
Apparently, with the allure of all those delicacies, she had forgotten that there were still people waiting for them.
Yin Shaojie took a look at the bag in his hand. ¡°There¡¯s so much. It should be enough for you already, right? It¡¯s not good to eat so much sote at night.¡±
Seeing her puffed up cheeks, which was just like a hamster¡¯s, he thought it was very cute and funny.
Yin Shaojie wanted to wipe her mouth, but he didn¡¯t have anymore tissues. Looking around, there was no convenience store they could get it from, so he took her hand to go back.
¡°Hey! Let¡¯s continue up ahead, I¡¯m not done shopping yet. There are still lots of good food up ahead.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said unclearly as her mouth was stuffed with food. She tugged at his hand, resisting as he tried to take her back.
Yin Shaojie held up the bag in his hand for her to see. ¡°You¡¯ve got so much already, and you still want more?¡±
¡°I want to eat¡¡± Before she could finish her sentence, someone bumped into Mu Xiaoxiao. That person was totally running when she bumped into her, so in that forceful collision, the two lost their bnce.
Yin Shaojie was quick as he reached out and grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao, pulling her back into his arms, and she leaned against his chest.
However, the other person who wasn¡¯t so lucky. She stumbled and knocked onto one of the store¡¯s rubbish bin from the force of the collision.
Dirtied by the garbage, that person didn¡¯t seem to care at all. As if she was being chased by a ghost, she frantically climbed to his feet.
¡°An Zhixin?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao eximed. She never expected such a coincidence to be meeting An Zhixin in this ce.
Moreover, she didn¡¯t expect to be seeing her in such a sorry state.
Hearing someone call her name, An Zhixin turned to look at the person she had just bumped into. She never expected to be bumping into Mu Xiaoxiao. She was shocked. Then she saw also Yin Shaojie standing beside Mu Xiaoxiao, and again, she was startled.
W-why are they here¡
¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Watch where you¡¯re going!¡±
¡°Dammit. What luck. My leg¡¯s all covered in garbage¡±
¡°F*ck! You dirtied my shirt. You gotta pay me. This is a name-brand shirt. It¡¯s very expensive!¡±
An Zhixin was brought back to her senses as people cursed at her. She realized the situation she was in and how dirty and stinky she was. Compared to the two good looking figures in front of her, she was totally the most lowly among them them.
An Zhixin clenched her fist embarrassedly.
Thest thing she wanted in her life was to be so humiliated in front of Yin Shaojie.
An Zhixin had never felt so dejected. Her eyes uncontrobly filled with tears. But she didn¡¯t dare to shed a tear, afraid that she would only appear uglier in Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes.
She turned to leave, wanting to flee far away, away from the res of these two.
However, she couldn¡¯t leave. A middle-aged man held her back, shouting angrily at her. ¡°I want you topensate me for my clothes! Do you hear me? Trying to run? Not a chance!¡±
An Zhixin tried to free herself from his grip, her face turning pale. ¡°I have no money to pay you¡¡±
Please, let me go!
Her eyes was watery. How she wished there was a hole she would hide herself in.

Knowing Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao were watching, she was even more embarrassed. She just wanted to leave as soon as she could.
¡°You gotta pay even if you are broke!¡± The middle-aged man fiercely tugged at her hand, and even tried to lift her up.
An Zhixin was feeling pain from his tugging. The tears in her eyes fell and she looked pitiful.
It was crowded in the night market. Some onlookers couldn¡¯t stand to watching anymore and said, ¡°Stop touching her. Let¡¯s talk nicely. Look. You made the little girl cry. It¡¯s only a shirt. How expensive can it be! This girl doesn¡¯t look like shees from a wealthy family. Don¡¯t make it so difficult for her, alright?¡±
The middle-aged man said unhappily, ¡°I¡¯m making things difficult for her? She was the one who bumped into me and soiled my clothes. Of course she has to pay! This shirt is a name-brand one. It¡¯s very expensive, okay! Who cares if she has money. Is being poor an excuse to not pay up? I¡¯m telling you, mind your own business.¡±
Hearing that, that woman didn¡¯t dare to say more and she walked away awkwardly. After all, she didn¡¯t want to be caught up in the dispute.
An Zhixin cried and said, ¡°I really have no money. Please, let me go¡ I-I¡¯m in a rush somewhere. My ssmate has been abducted. I have to call the police now. Please, let me go, okay¡¡±
¡°Call the police? Don¡¯t think that I¡¯ll get scared at the mention of the police. I don¡¯t care if the emperor or even Lao Tze is on his way here. You soiled my clothes, so you gotta pay for it!¡± The middle-aged man shouted without regard for her feelings, his voice getting louder as he shouted.
The onlookers walked away, fearing that they might get involved in the trouble. No one dared to speak up An Zhixin.
An Zhixin was helpless.
Beside her, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s brows wrinkled as she watched the scene.
She thought that upon seeing the two of them, especially Yin Shaojie, An Zhixin would ask Yin Shaojie for help, but she never expected that she would pretend not to know them at all.
Yin Shaojie watched with calm eyes. It was as if he was just any other stranger in the crowd, without any intention of going up to help her.
He remembered how he once helped An Zhixin but it ended up causing a misunderstanding between him and Xiaoxiao.
He would not repeat the same mistake again.
¡°Let¡¯s go. Enough watching,¡± he said tepidly to Mu Xiaoxiao, grabbing her little hand to lead her away from here.
Knowing that this wretch was soft-hearted, if she were to continue watching, she might feel the urge to help An Zhixin.
Sure enough, Mu Xiaoxiao stood still and wouldn¡¯t leave. She even tugged at his hand, her ck eyes staring at him. Her intention was clear.
Yin Shaojie looked at her and said, ¡°You can help her if you want, but I¡¯m not helping.¡±
If he were to help, An Zhixin would only misinterpret it.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled. Though she was afraid of the loud middle-aged man, who lookedpletely unreasonable, she had him by her side. Yin Shaojie wouldn¡¯t let anyone bully her.
Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao let go of Yin Shaojie¡¯s hand and stepped forward.
She made a stance and shouted, ¡°Stop it!¡±
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment. An Zhixin was also shocked. Even the onlookers turned to look at Mu Xiaoxiao curiously. Seeing that she was only a little girl, they all seemed worried for her.
Some people even advised her, ¡°Little girl, don¡¯t intervene, alright? You don¡¯t want to get into trouble.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said to the man, ¡°It¡¯s alright. I¡¯m not afraid of him. If everyone were to just mind their own businesses when seeing others in trouble this society would be too apathetic. It can just as well happen to anyone of us, right?¡±

¡°Do you want to have no oneing to your aid when you meet with such a helpless situation yourself?
The person was left speechless and he even looked ashamed.
The onlookers also fell silent because of what she said, their eyes filled with emotion. Their expressions began to change.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t care what they thought as she looked at the middle-aged man, folded her arms at her chest and said, ¡°Actually, you are right. She was the one who bumped into you and soiled your clothes. She¡¯s in the wrong, and she should pay up.¡±
The middle-aged man was prepared tosh out at her, but he was startled upon hearing that.
Recovering from his surprise, he smiled and nodded. ¡°Yeah! This little girl is reasonable. She is in the wrong. It¡¯s not wrong for me to demandpensation from her, right?¡±
With that said, hecently looked around at the onlookers.
The onlookers were dumbfounded. They were puzzled as to why Mu Xiaoxiao would suddenly change her tune and speak up for the man.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, ¡°However, your shirt¡ is not too dirty, is it? It¡¯s only a little stain. You can take it home to wash it.¡±
The middle-aged man frowned, knowing that she was going to speak up for An Zhixin, his tone became unfriendly as he said, ¡°But this is a name-brand shirt! It¡¯s very expensive! Who knows if I can wash it clean when I get home? What if I can¡¯t wash it away? By then, she would have ran away. Who should I look forpensation then? Run along now. Go and mind your own business, little girl.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao snorted, tilting her chin up as she said, ¡°I¡¯m telling you. I¡¯m gonna be minding this business! You! Let go of her hand! Are you trying to be rough with her? Treating a little girl roughly, do you have any sense of shame?¡±
The onlookers recovered their senses and parroted her, saying, ¡°Yeah! No sense of shame! You can talk calmly. Why do you have to be rough with the little girl?¡±
¡°This little girl must be crying because she¡¯s hurting from your grip.¡±
¡°Let go of her already¡±
¡°Are you gonna let go of her or not! Let go or we¡¯ll call the police!¡±
The middle-aged man was not afraid of Mu Xiaoxiao alone. But he didn¡¯t expect Mu Xiaoxiao to have stirred the onlookers. With so many people opposing him, he had no choice but to let go of her.
¡°I-I don¡¯t care! In any case, she soiled my clothes, so she mustpensate me! If you want to help her, then pool your money and pay up!¡±
Someone asked, ¡°How much is your shirt then?¡±
The middle-aged man held up his chin and said, ¡°15000 yuan!¡±
The crowd roared in protest. ¡°That¡¯s daylight robbery!¡±
¡°Exactly. This material doesn¡¯t seem very fancy. How could it be so expensive? You¡¯re just extorting money, aren¡¯t you?¡±
The middle-aged man pulled up the corner of his jacket and snorted. ¡°This was made by Brand G. It¡¯s an international brand, got it? That¡¯s how much it cost! If you don¡¯t believe me, you can check it online. 15000 yuan is cheap enough! ¡±
An Zhixin, who was stunned by Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s intervention, recovered her senses, and eximed, ¡°F-fifteen thousand yuan? I don¡¯t have that much money!¡±
¡°Yes, fifteen thousand! Not one cent less!¡± said the middle-aged man.
The onlookers were all wagging their tongues, criticizing him, but he seemed shameless as if he was going for broke.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly sniggered andughed out loud. ¡°Hahahaha! Brand G?¡±
She stepped forward and felt the material of the middle-aged man¡¯s jacket, and she shook her head.

Just when everyone looked at her, wondering why she wasughing, Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°Call the police then!¡±
The middle-aged man was startled. ¡°Call the police?¡±
The onlookers also stared at Mu Xiaoxiao, puzzled.
¡°Yeah, call the police. Unless you want her to pay the 15000 yuan, call the police.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was like a proud queen. Although she wasn¡¯t as tall that guy, she didn¡¯t lose in terms of her presence. ¡°But, I¡¯ll be the one reporting you!¡±
Everyone was shocked.
Reporting him? What was the meaning of this?
The middle-aged man was startled. ¡°What the heck did I do!¡±
An Zhixin didn¡¯t expect that things would turn out like this. She watched Mu Xiaoxiao curiously, wondering why she would say that.
Mu Xiaoxiao pointed at the man and said fiercely, ¡°I¡¯ll report you for extortion!¡±
The middle-aged man bared his teeth in a fierce look, he pointed to himself and said, ¡°Report me for extortion? When did I extort her? I¡¯m the victim! Fine, call the police! I¡¯m not scared. I¡¯m telling you. Even if you call the police, the police won¡¯t be able to step in!¡±
¡°Why not?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao spread open her hand as if he had made a joke. ¡°You¡¯re extorting 15000 yuan from her. This is a big amount. It makes for a valid case. The police won¡¯t just let it be.¡±
Feeling the pressure, the middle-aged man was losing confidence. Frustrated, he cursed Mu Xiaoxiao with a slew of profanities.
When he was done, he said, ¡°Why are you reporting me for extortion? She¡¯s the one who soiled my clothes! I only asked forpensation. You call this extortion? Do you even understand thew!¡±
¡°You¡¯re the one who don¡¯t understand!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao scoffed.
¡°What did you say? You want to talkw? You still smell of your mother¡¯s milk!¡±
Hearing that, Yin Shaojie, who had been standing behind Mu Xiaoxiao all this while, couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. When the man started to swear at her, his face had already started turning grim.
How could he allow this person to spew such dirty words at Xiaoxiao!
Yin Shaojie walked up to Mu Xiaoxiao, stared at the man icily and berated him, ¡°Shut your dirty mouth! Try saying another dirty word if you dare.¡±
Noticing the imposing manner of Yin Shaojie, the middle-aged man shrunk back instinctively.
¡°D-don¡¯t think I¡¯ll be afraid of you just because you have many people on your side! Call the police then! Call them! Call the police!¡±
Though he shouted that, his expression didn¡¯t seem confident at all.
He was sure that Mu Xiaoxiao was only scaring him and that she wouldn¡¯t really dare to call the police.
With Yin Shaojie supporting her, Mu Xiaoxiao was, of course, even less afraid of him. She smiled haughtily and said, ¡°Okay, you asked for it. Everyone heard you. We¡¯ll call the police then! Oh yeah, I haven¡¯t answered your question just now. Why am I reporting you for extortion?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pointed at his clothes in distaste. ¡°A name-brand shirt using this kind of material? Let me tell you. This is a fake! Let me put it simply. It¡¯s not even a Brand G product. This is a knockoff! You say that this cost 15000 yuan? I don¡¯t think it¡¯s even worth a hundred! What do you call this if not extortion?¡±
¡°You¡ What does a little girl like you know about name-brands? On what basis do you use me of wearing knockoffs?¡± the middle-aged man yelled at her, his face and neck red with anger.
Mu Xiaoxiao was amused. ¡°It¡¯s only a name-brand. It¡¯s not like no one has ever worn it before! Oh, my mistake. I think you haven¡¯t worn one before, have you? I bet you must be wearing knockoffs from head to toe.¡±

Just then, within the crowd, a girl noticed something on Mu Xiaoxiao, sped her mouth and shouted out, ¡°The little furry ball on her bag is not from that brand, is it? Oh my! That little thing is expensive! Just that little furry ball costs nearly ten thousand yuan! It¡¯s not something anyone can afford.¡±
Surprised, someone said, ¡°For real? Just that little furry ball on her bag? It costs that much?¡±
Another woman, who was dressed fashionably and seemed knowledgeable about these things, said convincingly, ¡°This little girl is wearing name-brand apparel and essories from head to toe, and it¡¯s all from international brands. They¡¯re those really expensive types. You wouldn¡¯t even be able to imagine the price of a shirt from any of them.¡±
The onlookers instantly broke out in an uproar, their eyes turning to Mu Xiaoxiao, staring at her clothes, as if to see what brand she was wearing.
Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or cry, feeling as though she had turned into a monkey in the zoo.
The middle-aged man shouted shamelessly. ¡°Wearing name-brand clothing at such a young age, you don¡¯t look like any decent character! I¡¯ll bet you must be¡ hmm!¡±
With that said, he nced at Yin Shaojie, who was standing beside Mu Xiaoxiao, and his implication was obvious.
But the bystanders could see how ssy Mu Xiaoxiao was and that she must be a rich missy. So they scoffed disdainfully at the middle-aged men¡¯s vicious words.
¡°Little girl, report him! We support you!¡± someone said to An Zhixin.
¡°Yeah! A shameless person like him trying to con and extort a little girl must be reported to the police!¡±
¡°You must call the police! Don¡¯t be afraid, girl. With so many of us on your side, we won¡¯t let him bully you.¡±
Seeing that the crowd was against him, the middle-aged man looked embarrassed, and he was even starting to stutter as he said, ¡°E-even if I¡¯m not wearing name-brand clothing, she soiled my clothes and she still has topensate me!¡±
This sentence instantly raised a furor in the crowd.
¡°Still trying to extort money from her? I¡¯ll bet that he deliberately bumped into the little girl just to extort her of money!¡±
¡°I think so too. And he doesn¡¯t even dare to call the police. He must have a guilty conscience. Otherwise, he would have just called the police and let the policemen to deal with it.¡±
The middle-aged man finally felt like he couldn¡¯t stand his ground anymore. He red at An Zhixin and said, ¡°Count yourself lucky! I¡¯ll let you off, alright!¡±
With that said, he quickly pushed through the crowd and fled.
The bystanders cheered, and quite a few people apuded for Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°Little girl, you¡¯re a good person!¡±
¡°Good job!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thanked them. Then she turned to ask An Zhixin, ¡°Are you injured?¡±
Although the matter was resolved, and the crowd gradually dispersed, some people came over and offered An Zhixin wet tissues to let her wipe her face and body of dirt. Someone even offered his jacket to An Zhixin.
But An Zhixin refused the jacket. Her eyes filled with tears, she said gratefully, ¡°Thank you. Thank you, everyone.¡±
¡°You should thank this little girl. She¡¯s the one who had the courage to help you.¡±
Hearing that, An Zhixin wiped her eyes and looked at Mu Xiaoxiao. Her expression was quite awkward as she said, ¡°Thank you¡ I¡¯m alright. I¡¯m not hurt.¡±
¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re okay,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said and nodded.
An Zhixin¡¯s eyes unconsciously turned to nce at Yin Shaojie beside Mu Xiaoxiao.
This man was still as handsome and charming as ever.
The way he had protected Mu Xiaoxiao earlier was especially admiring.

Chapter 851: She Must Not Continue To Be Obsessed

However, An Zhixin only stared for a moment before looking away. She didn¡¯t dare to continue looking at him.
She knew that she could no longer continue to obsess over Yin Shaojie.
They were people of two different worlds. Their meeting was only an ident. If she continued to obsess over him, she would only be hurt.
At this moment, An Zhixin was clear-headed. She was no longer obstinate in her own way.
Just then, Mu Xiaoxiao was reminded of something and asked, ¡°Oh yeah, you mentioned that your ssmates were abducted, and you wanted to call the police. What happened?¡±
At first, she didn¡¯t want to get involved with An Zhixin. But seeing from An Zhixin¡¯s behavior that she had no ill-intentions and that she was going to call the police, she wondered if someone¡¯s life might be in danger.
Hearing that, An Zhixin was reminded of the matter, and she became panicky and scared.
¡°No. I gotta call the police!¡±
She instinctively avoided bothering Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao, so she didn¡¯t ask them for help. The only thing on her mind was to get the police.
An Zhixin was about to leave, but she staggered and almost fell.
Fortunately, Mu Xiaoxiao caught her in time.
An Zhixin realized that she was so afraid during the incident earlier that her legs had turned to jelly, so she had yet to recover from it.
¡°You can talk to me. You look very anxious. What happened?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
An Zhixin looked at her hesitantly, her eyes were red, and she finally whimpered and said, ¡°Shiyu and I¡ were kidnapped just now.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly, thinking she had misheard her. ¡°Kidnapped?¡±
She didn¡¯t recall that An Zhixin and her ssmate, Wang Shiyu came from wealthy families. They¡¯re weren¡¯t even well-off. Why would they be kidnapped?
¡°They forced me to pay 100,000 yuan in ransom to get Shiyu back¡ otherwise they will sell Shiyu into prostitution. After that, they will also kidnap me¡¡± An Zhixin said as tears fell.
Initially, An Zhixin was very upset when Wang Shiyu simply ignored her after seeing her being bullied by the few girls in school.
But An Zhixin had always treated Wang Shiyu as her good friend. So when Wang Shiyu came to apologize to An Zhixin, saying that she was too scared to help her, An Zhixin forgave her.
Reconciled, they held hands as they went to night market together happily.
Wang Shiyu said that she wanted to check out the newly opened bar. However, when they entered the bar, they were targeted. Two men lured them into a booth where they tied them up.
Hearing her story, Mu Xiaoxiao looked to Yin Shaojie to ask him what he thought of it.
Of course, she wouldn¡¯t simply believe what An Zhixin said. After all, An Zhixin had past convictions. It could very well be another scheme.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s hand reached out and held hers.
Watching as they held hands, An Zhixin¡¯s eyes darkened. She sniffed and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to bother you guys. I will go to the police myself.¡±
She wouldn¡¯t be able to fork over 100,000 yuan, so she really had no choice but to go to the police.
However¡
She remembered how those people threatened her, saying that if she went to the police, they would kill Wang Shiyu and she could only go back to pick up her corpse.
So An Zhixin was conflicted. She didn¡¯t know if she should call the police or not.
However, what else could she do besides call the police?
An Zhixin¡¯s eyes were lifeless as she looked down at the ground.

Just then, the ring tone for an iing call startled her. She looked up in a jolt and realized that it was Yin Shaojie¡¯s cell phone that was ringing.
¡°Young Master Jie, are you here yet? Don¡¯t stand me up, alright! There¡¯s many people here waiting for you!¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at the time and realized they were quitete. No wonder the guys were impatient.
¡°Okay, I¡¯m on my way.¡±
¡°Hurry up! We¡¯ll have another race first, and you¡¯ll be on time for the next one.¡±
¡°Alright, see you then.¡± Yin Shaojie hung up the phone, cast a sharp nce at An Zhixin and said, ¡°Come on, take us to these people.¡±
He knew that Mu Xiaoxiao was going to intervene, so he had no choice but to settle the matter quickly. If they were to call the police and wait for them toe, it would take ages.
An Zhixin looked at him stupefied. ¡°You want to¡¡±
You want to help me?
His eyes werepletely emotionless as though he were looking at a stranger, and he said impatiently, ¡°Quickly! I¡¯m in a rush!¡±
How could An Zhixin still delude herself into thinking that he had feelings for her? Obviously, he would only help her because of Mu Xiaoxiao.
As she stared at Mu Xiaoxiao, her eyes were filled with envy but not resentment.
¡°Thank you¡¡± she gratefully bowed and thanked them. Then she led them to the opposite side of the street, which was where she had came running from.
¡
Meanwhile, in the room.
Wang Shiyu sat on the sofa in the room. There was a man with dyed blond hair tying her hands with a rope.
Perhaps it was because the rope was too tight but Wang Shiyu grumbled, ¡°Gentler! Why are you being so forceful? You don¡¯t have to tie it so tightly. Just do one for show.¡±
Beside them was a man with scene-styled hair, looking impatient as he said, ¡°Little Yu, shall we just forget the tying? Anyways, I don¡¯t think that ssmate of yours will dare to do anything. Why can¡¯t we just split the money when she returns with it? Why do we have to go through all this trouble!¡±
The blond-haired guy tied it sloppily and said, ¡°We still have act like it, otherwise how are we gonna convince anyone? But Little Yu, are you sure that your ssmate can get so much money? She doesn¡¯t look rich. What if she doesn¡¯t have that much money? All our hard work will be for nothing.¡±
Wang Shiyu tested the tightness of the rope, and leaned back leisurely on the sofa, staring at them.
She said confidently, ¡°Why would I lie to you? Of course, she has money! Didn¡¯t I tell you? She transferred to Shangde High. It¡¯s Shangde High, okay? You know, that school for the rich. All the students there are rich. Though I don¡¯t know who helped her, but she must have a financial backer. So she must have gotten some money from them.¡±
She even thought 100,000 yuan was going easy on An Zhixin!
But it was alright. They could take it slow. This time, they would ask for 100,000 yuan to test just how much money An Zhixin had. Next time, they would do it again but with more.
Wang Shiyu schemed delightedly.
Hearing that, the two men felt relieved. The scene guy puffed his cigarette, his eyes narrowed as he enjoyed it. But upon thinking of the 100,000 yuan that he was going to get soon, he felt sick of the cheap cigarette he was smoking and he put it out at the ashtray.
He watched the door impatiently. ¡°Your friend has been gone for quite a while, right? Why isn¡¯t she back yet? Could she have run away?¡±
Hearing that, the blond-haired guy asked worriedly. ¡°Yeah, could she have abandoned you and run away, leaving you to die?¡±
Chapter 853 - Don’t You Like It When I’m Rough?

¡°No, she wouldn¡¯t do that. I know her personality thoroughly and I¡¯m her most important friend. She wouldn¡¯t abandon me,¡± Wang Shiyu said confidently.
She gestured to the blonde man to feed her the snacks on the table.
Is waiting the only thing we can do?¡± The punk kicked the table. In an impatient tone, he said to the blonde man, ¡°Go outside and see if she¡¯se back.¡±
¡°No way. What¡¯re you so anxious for? You have to wait even if you want the money.¡±
The blonde man kissed Wang Shiyu¡¯s mouth as he fed her food. His hands were roving wantonly over her thighs, trying to get underneath her skirt.
Wang Shiyu red at him. ¡°Stop fooling around! You can do that after we get the money. What will we do if shees back?¡±
The blonde manughed. It was an obsceneugh. ¡°So what if she sees? We can act out a rape scene for her then. Just cooperate with me. Let¡¯s have a rehearsal right now.¡±
He used his other hand to touch Wang Shiyu¡¯s chest as he said this, and even fondled her breasts deliberately.
Wang Shiyu became sensitive to his touch and her voice turned a little husky. ¡°You¡¯re so¡ Be gentler. You¡¯re always so rough.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t you like it when I¡¯m rough? Want to see where I¡¯m hard?¡± the blonde man talked dirty as his hands roved all over her body.
¡
Just then, An Zhixin, apanied by Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie, arrived.
They walked in from the back door of the bar and walked to the first room along the hallway.
¡°It¡¯s right here¡¡± An Zhixin stood before the door and looked at them uneasily.
Yin Shaojie looked for escape routes just in case of emergencies before reaching out and knocking on the door.
In the room.
The blonde man ordered the punk, ¡°Go and open the door!¡±
The punk was more concerned about the money and thus went to open the door. He thought that An Zhixin hade back with the money, and to this surprise, he saw three people.
He frowned, displeased, and red at An Zhixin. ¡°You¡¯ve brought others?¡±
¡°Where is my ssmate?¡± An Zhixin was worried about Wang Shiyu¡¯s safety and walked into the room anxiously. She then saw Wang Shiyu being pinned onto the sofa and vited, and her face turned pale instantly.
¡°How could you do this!¡± She screamed at the punk.
The punk knew that she had misunderstood immediately, but didn¡¯t offer an exnation. It wasn¡¯t his business that she had fallen for the trick, and said to her viciously, ¡°Why were you so slow in getting the money? Where is it? Don¡¯t think that you don¡¯t have to pay up just because you brought two others here. Let me tell you that this is my territory and I can call up ten others here anytime. Don¡¯t even think about leaving if you don¡¯t give me the money!¡±
The blonde man realized what was happening and continued to pretend that he was viting Wang Shiyu. Heughed vulgarly and said, ¡°If you don¡¯t hand over the money, I¡¯ll force myself into her right now!¡±
¡°No! Zhixin, save me!¡± Wang Shiyu kept up the act and screamed out, looking as though she was about to cry.
¡°Shiyu! Hurry up and let go of her!¡± An Zhixin was extremely terrified and was afraid that Shiyu would really be defiled by them.
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao really hated Wang Shiyu, she couldn¡¯t just stand by and watch a girl get raped by someone right in front of her. She stepped forward to confront the man.
Unexpectedly, Yin Shaojie grabbed her hand in one motion and said, ¡°Don¡¯t go over.¡±
His eyes had been fixated on the two people on the sofa like a hawk and the corners of his mouth lifted up in a smirk.
An Zhixin was in a panic. She had no money at all. What could she do?
Chapter 854 - Stop It
Chapter 854: Stop It
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
She could only look back towards Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie anxiously. In a helpless tone, she said, ¡°What should I do now?¡±
Yin Shaojie observed that her expression was real and not forced.
He told An Zhixin, ¡°Don¡¯t go over. Come back here first.¡±
An Zhixin paused. Even though she didn¡¯t know what he meant by that, she still walked over to their side obediently.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s lips curled as he said, ¡°You guys can continue. We¡¯re leaving.¡±
He then told An Zhixin a sentence, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±
An Zhixin was shocked. She looked over to Wang Shiyu and remained rooted in her spot.
Upon hearing this, the punk became furious. He looked at Yin Shaojie angrily as he said, ¡°What do you mean by this? Are you not paying up?¡±
¡°Why should we pay up?¡± Yin Shaojie sneered as he looked at him.
Unfortunately, because the light in the room was dim, the punk was unable to see his stern gaze right then. If not, he would never dare to stand off against such a dominant, lordly person.
The punk spat and swore, ¡°F*ck! Are you trying to y me? If you¡¯re not going to hand over a hundred thousand dors, don¡¯t dream about leaving this ce!¡±
He revealed a thirty-centimeter-long knife from under the sofa and brandished it as he said those words.
On the sofa, the blonde man realized that something was amiss. Letting go of Wang Shiyu, he took out a knife from under the sofa as well.
Both men faced Yin Shaojie, waving their knives.
Yin Shaojie was calm and collected, as though he couldn¡¯t see the bright reflections of the sharp knives under the light.
Wang Shiyu struggled to sit up, and it was only then that she realized that the person An Zhixin had brought along with her was Yin Shaojie!
Her eyes widened in shock. ¡°Z-Zhixin¡ why have you brought Young Master Jie?¡±
Goodness gracious!
It was actually Young Master Jie!
A sense of unease rose up in Wang Shiyu¡¯s heart. However, she couldn¡¯t warn the others right now. If she opened her mouth to speak, An Zhixin and the rest would know that she was working with the kidnappers.
Upon hearing her words, the punk narrowed his eyes and said, ¡°Young Master Jie?¡±
His nce swept Yin Shaojie from top to toe and he asked, ¡°Could this guy be a rich young master?¡±
Wang Shiyu could only think of one other way to warn them. She shouted at them, ¡°Stop it! He¡¯s from one of the Big Four Families, and the heir to the Yin family! He¡¯s not someone you want to offend! Hurry up and release us!¡±
¡°What kind of nonsense is the Big Four Families? Heir? That means that he¡¯s a rich young master, right?¡± the punk said, taking no heed of her warning. His eyes gleamed with greed.
To small fry like him, the Big Four Families belonged in a world they couldn¡¯t reach.
They were only concerned with eating and drinking their days away and acting out in violence. So long as they had something to eat, some girl to y with, and some money to spend, they were content. They didn¡¯t care about who the Big Four Families were. Weren¡¯t they just people with money?¡±
The punk pointed the tip of his knife at Yin Shaojie and ordered arrogantly. ¡°You there, give me a few hundred thousand dors to spend, you hear? If not, I¡¯ll chop your hand off!¡±
¡°Chop my hand off? How?¡± Yin Shaojie sounded carefree and uncaring, as though he was merely telling a joke.
The punk, thus provoked, rushed forth with his knife. ¡°Just like this ¡ª AH!¡±
Yin Shaojie leaned to one side and swung his leg towards his opponent¡¯s chest dashingly, causing him to hit the ground.
He picked up the knife that had fallen to the ground. Walking over, he squatted down and with a gaze that could rival the King of Hell¡¯s. ¡°Is this how you would chop off my hand?¡±
Chapter 855 - Simply Too Embarrassing
Chapter 855: Simply Too Embarrassing

He looked as though he was about to demonstrate it as he spoke, and swung the knife swiftly towards the punk¡¯s hand.
¡°AH ¡ª NO!¡± The punk wet his pants in fear, a dark stain appearing at the crotch of his pants instantly.
Wang Shiyu and the blonde man sucked in a terrified breath.
The knife made contact with the ground with a m instead of slicing through the punk¡¯s hand. It only grazed his hand as it came down. A scare tactic.
Behind them, Mu Xiaoxiaoughed till her sides split as she observed how Yin Shaojie was scaring them.
She knew that Yin Shaojie wouldn¡¯t have really chopped off the guy¡¯s hand.
She was there, and he would never let her see such a bloody sight.
Yin Shaojie red at them disdainfully. ¡°Are little gangsters like you nowadays so ssless? How can you even kidnap people with such weak fighting power?¡±
He stood up and took a few steps back to prevent the punk¡¯s urine from getting on his shoes.
He then threw the knife aside and red at the blonde man as he said, ¡°Do you still want a turn? If not, we¡¯ll be leaving now. We¡¯re very busy.¡±
The blonde man was a little dazed, and he looked at Yin Shaojie in disbelief.
When Yin Shaojieunched his kick earlier, he couldn¡¯t see it happen clearly at all. Thus, he could only imagine how powerful his opponent was.
A wave of numbness hit his hand and he almost dropped his knife.
Wang Shiyu looked at him worriedly.
Just then, the blonde man seemed to have an idea. In one swift motion, he grabbed Wang Shiyu and held the knife against her throat.
He threatened Yin Shaojie, ¡°Bring me the money if you don¡¯t want her to die! If not, I¡¯ll cut her throat right now!¡±
An Zhixin, who had thought that this matter was over and had just breathed a sigh of relief, panicked at the sight of this.
¡°No! Please don¡¯t kill her! I beg you!¡± She told the blonde man hastily. She held her trembling hands up, wanting to pacify the man so that he wouldn¡¯t hurt Wang Shiyu identally in excitement.
Upon seeing how panicked she was, the blonde man thought that his trick was sessful. Heughedcently and ordered, ¡°Hurry up and bring us a hundred thousand dors! And you ¡ª five hundred thousand dors!¡±
He gestured towards Yin Shaojie with his chin.
Mu Xiaoxiao walked over to Yin Shaojie¡¯s side and hugged his arm. ¡°What now?¡±
Yin Shaojie pocketed a hand in his pants, still looking rxed and unconcerned.
¡°There¡¯s no time to dawdle anymore, and we¡¯ve wasted enough time here. Let¡¯s go.¡±
Upon seeing that they were about to leave, An Zhixin cried out in panic, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao! Young Master Jie! Please, I beg of you, please save Shiyu! Please save her!¡±
She was not asking Yin Shaojie to fork over so much money, of course, but only to think of how to save Shiyu.
She knew that he must have some ideas.
No one would be able to stand it if their friend had a knife to their throat and was in danger of losing their life any second.
Yin Shaojie said coldly, ¡°She isn¡¯t my friend. Why should I save her?¡±
An Zhixin froze.
She knew, of course, that her request was unreasonable and shameless. However, she had no other choice now. She couldn¡¯t just watch Wang Shiyu get killed, right?
The gears in An Zhixin¡¯s head turned, and she suddenly got down onto her knees with a m.
With teary eyes, she kowtowed to Yin Shaojie and said, ¡°Young Master Jie, I know that you don¡¯t have to save us, but¡ this is a human life! Shiyu is my best friend! I can¡¯t just watch something happen to her! Please, take it as me begging you, alright? Please save her!¡±

Wang Shiyu had never imagined that An Zhixin would do such a thing and she looked at her in shock. ¡°Zhixin¡¡±
An Zhixin had actually kneeled down to beg someone humbly to save her.
Anyone who saw such a sight would feel something.
Wang Shiyu gritted her teeth and used her gaze to hint to the blonde man not to exaggerate his actions and tone it down.
The blonde man was a little hesitant. Just then, the punk endured his pain and stood up, bellowing, ¡°Let me tell you this! I¡¯ll give you ten minutes to bring the money here. If not, you¡¯ll need to pay up a hundred thousand dors for every minute that has passed after that! Do you hear me?¡±
The tears kept flowing from An Zhixin¡¯s eyes as she looked at the punk while still kneeling weakly.
This time, she turned towards Mu Xiaoxiao and begged helplessly, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, I know that I¡¯ve done many wrong things in the past, but can you let Young Master Jie help us?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t bear to reject her. Hugging Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm, she looked at him.
Yin Shaojie looked at the time. They were really going to bete now.
Suddenly, his lips curled as he said, ¡°Alright,e with us.¡±
An Zhixin looked at him gratefully. Standing up, she walked out with him.
The punk reminded them as they left, ¡°Remember ¡ª ten minutes! Or we¡¯ll chop off one of her hands!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless. She said in a whisper to Yin Shaojie, ¡°Why does this person like to chop off people¡¯s hands?¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled and patted her head. ¡°Let¡¯s hurry up and go. We¡¯re really going to bete.¡±
¡°Eh, didn¡¯t you say¡¡± She had thought that he was going to think of something to save Wang Shiyu. However she knew that he wouldn¡¯t hand the money over obediently with his personality.
However, she had never imagined that he was just going to leave like that.
An Zhixin looked at Yin Shaojie, shocked. It was as though she was mute, for she couldn¡¯t say a word, but only stared at him with a sad and hurt look in her eyes.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t even look at An Zhixin, but only looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and exined, ¡°They¡¯re all in it together, so you don¡¯t have to worry. Nothing¡¯s going to happen to that girl.¡±
An Zhixin¡¯s heart thundered. Her face was a little pale as she asked, ¡°You mean¡ Shiyu was working with them?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t understand it either. ¡°Yeah, how are they in it together? How could you tell?¡±
She wasn¡¯t in disbelief at his words, but was just curious about how he had deduced this.
Yin Shaojie chuckled and said, ¡°Weren¡¯t the two on the sofa making out when we had just entered? Yes, they were making out like a pair of lovers. That girl didn¡¯t look like she had been vited and she looked like she was enjoying herself instead.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. ¡°You even noticed that?¡±
It was so dim in the room, but yet he could see that clearly?
An Zhixin was quiet for a while. She then asked, ¡°Young Master Jie, is what you¡¯re saying true? Is it really true?¡±
She seemed as though she didn¡¯t want to believe this fact, and repeated question a couple of times.
Yin Shaojie nodded. ¡°I¡¯m sure of it. You don¡¯t have to go back there. Just go home. Your friend will be fine.¡±
¡°But¡¡± An Zhixin was still a little worried. After all, the scene from before had left her feeling apprehensive.
Mu Xiaoxiao said gleefully, ¡°I wonder what kind of expression they will make when they realize we¡¯re noting back with the money.¡±
Yin Shaojie hooked an arm around her shoulders andughed jovially as well. ¡°I think it¡¯d be an ugly one. It¡¯s something we¡¯re better off not seeing.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nced at An Zhixin. She then reached out for Yin Shaojie¡¯s wallet, took out a note, and offered it to her.
Chapter 857 - He Did It For Mu Xiaoxiao
Chapter 857: He Did It For Mu Xiaoxiao
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
She looked towards An Zhixin and said, ¡°Just trust him. Whatever he says is the truth. Take a taxi home, take a shower, and go to sleep. Nothing bad will happen.¡±
Originally, she didn¡¯t have any good feelings towards An Zhixin. However, she felt moved upon seeing how far An Zhixin would go to help a friend out.¡±
However, it was a pity that Wang Shiyu was so malicious as to scheme against a friend like that.
Compared to the sacrifices An Zhixin had made for their friendship, Wang Shiyu had nothing to give and had even tried to hurt her.
The money felt as though it burned in An Zhixin¡¯s hand. She didn¡¯t want to ept Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s money, even if it was just a hundred dors, for it still felt as though she owed her something.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao had just helped her. With that, she had alreadye into her debt greatly.
She knew that she had no money right now, and if she didn¡¯t take the hundred dors, she could only walk home.
An Zhixin squeezed the cash in her hand tightly. Her eyes kept wandering to the road behind them, and in her gaze stilly an uncertainty towards Wang Shiyu¡
Were Wang Shiyu and the two men really in cahoots?
She didn¡¯t want to believe it.
However, she knew that Yin Shaojie wouldn¡¯t lie to her. He had no reason nor need to do so.
An Zhixin felt tortured and conflicted, as though her feelings were as messy as a hemp ball. She had no idea what she was supposed to do next.
Yin Shaojie held Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand and made as though he was about to leave.
¡°Let¡¯s hurry, or they¡¯ll call again and bother us.¡±
¡°Yeah,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. She then turned to An Zhixin and said, ¡°Don¡¯t go back. Your friend will be fine. You¡¯re only going to get hurt if you go back again.¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t want to bother with An Zhixin anymore but at Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s urging, said mildly to An Zhixin, ¡°You should go home first. I¡¯ll send you news in an hour, how about that?¡±
This was so that the girl wouldn¡¯t go back like a fool.
An Zhixin froze. Her eyes misted over as she looked at him. ¡°I understand. Thank you both.¡±
Had he seen through her thoughts, and was thus being so considerate?
How could anyone not fall in love with such a man?
However¡
An Zhixin now understood very clearly that she had no right to do so. Also, Yin Shaojie was only being this considerate because of Mu Xiaoxiao, not her.
She looked towards Mu Xiaoxiao, and felt a mix of emotions. She had used to dislike and hate Mu Xiaoxiao.
However, she felt all kinds of emotions right now, but mostly envy.
She really envied her.
If it were possible to exchange her fate with someone else, she wished that she could be Mu Xiaoxiao and be the object of Yin Shaojie¡¯s affection.
However, this was a wild wish that was impossible to be fulfilled.
She didn¡¯t know how she was insane enough to believe that she could have reced Mu Xiaoxiao in the past.
It was tooughable.
An Zhixin stood fixed to the spot as she watched Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao walk away hand in hand.
She could feel a wave of indescribable sweetness and tenderness just by observing their silhouettes. It hurt her single heart.
The pair walked out of the night market street. There was a sports car parked at a spot in the dark. Yin Shaojie opened the car door for Mu Xiaoxiao, and ced a protective hand over her head as she got in.
Yin Shaojie then walked over to the driver¡¯s seat and got into the car.
After a short while, the car left.
An Zhixin watched the morous and cool sports car disappear from her sight slowly with an indescribable emptiness in her heart.
Chapter 858 - He’s A Madman!
Chapter 858: He¡¯s A Madman!
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
How envious she was.
How could anyone not envy this kind of life? It was only reasonable that she was envious, right?
An Zhixin brooded bitterly.
¡
The sports car drove up Mt. Akima.
It was already quitete at night, so the sky was very dark. Though there were street lights along the mountain road, the darkness of the night still shrouded the whole mountain.
¡°Do you think we should tell Qiqing and the rest about us going to Nanxiang Old Town tomorrow? Maybe they might want to go too. If we don¡¯t tell Qiqing, she may get angry.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of the problem.
Yin Shaojie watched the road ahead, and his long armnguidly controlling the steering wheel. ¡°Then I guess you should tell her. With her personality, if she finds out that you went on a trip without telling her she¡¯ll definitely get angry with you¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought he made sense, so she took out her cell phone and sent a WeChat message to Qiqing.
Sure enough, Qiqing replied shortly.
¡ª¡ªI want to go too! I want to go too! What time are you guys going tomorrow? Shall we go together?
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled at Yin Shaojie, ¡°As expected, Qiqing said she wants toe along.¡±
¡°Tell Shijun also then.¡± Since they were going in pairs, if Song Shijun didn¡¯t go, Qiqing would be alone watching the two couples in love.
¡°Alright!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao answered in a silvery voice.
Just when she was about to look down and start typing her reply, a bright re from the front suddenly stung her eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao blocked the re with her hand. ¡°What¡¯s that?¡±
Yin Shaojie was very calm, ¡°It¡¯s the caring from the other direction.¡±
Although his eyes also felt the harshness of the re, he only squinted and grasped the steering wheel tightly.
The next second, two sports cars were seening from the front at an extremely fast speed.
Judging from their speed, they were obviously the cars that were racing downhill.
Typically in these types of situations, when encountering a car on the mountain road, the racing cars would slow down to ensure safety, or the racing cars would take a line and continue the race only after passing by the car.
However, the tailing car chose to elerate at this juncture, attempting to overtake the car in front.
Yin Shaojie knitted his brows gravely.
That¡¯s dangerous!
Because the mountain road wasn¡¯t very wide, it was very hard to amodate three cars. A single mistake and the car in the outerne could crash through the railing and fall down into the ravine below.
Yin Shaojie wrung his brows tightly, lowered the speed, and tried to keep as close toward the inner wall as possible.
Just then, the cool, modified Lamborghini was overtaken. In this situation, it was very likely to collide into Yin Shaojie¡¯s car.
Yin Shaojie cursed under his breath. Who the heck was driving that car? Was he insane?
The car didn¡¯t slow down but instead elerated.
But this madman won the gamble. The car that was overtaken slowed down upon seeing the dangerous situation.
The Lamborghini took a cool swerve passing between the two cars. It was followed by the roaring of the engine and the wild screams of the madman as he drove off without a care for the cars left behind.
Curses were heard from the car following behind. ¡°F*ck. He¡¯s a madman!¡±
Then the driver stepped on the throttle rushing to catch up to him.
From the look of things, Yin Shaojie could tell that it was impossible to catch up now.
In the car, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened, sped and tapped at her chest in trepidation. ¡°That was so scary¡¡±
She thought they were going to crash!
Chapter 859 - Waited Till The Flowers Withered
Chapter 859: Waited Till The Flowers Withered
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
What a scare.
She looked to Yin Shaojie and said frightfully, ¡°It¡¯s only a race. Do they have to drive so dangerously? Do you guys drive like that too?¡±
Though she didn¡¯t know much about cars, she could tell that given the speed of that car just now, if they bumped into them, both cars would definitely get wrecked!
They were only racing. Was there a need to put their lives on the line?
Yin Shaojie squinted as he was reminded of what his friend had mentioned over the phone earlier that the East City kid raced in a totally reckless manner.
Was he driving that Lamborghini just now?
Having driven on this mountain path for so long, he had never seen a person who raced in such a crazy manner.
There were many corners on the mountain road and many opportunities for overtaking other cars. There was no need to choose such a dangerous ce to pass by.
It seemed that that person wasn¡¯t just concerned about passing, but he deliberately chose such a dangerous juncture to overtake.
Indeed, he was a madman!
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression and found that he was actually smiling in a very excited manner.
She asked inexplicably, ¡°Why are you smiling like this? You seem¡ excited?¡±
Yin Shaojie smirked. ¡°I think I have met my match this time.¡±
Thus, his blood was boiling with excitement.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him, brows furrowed as she said quite regretfully, ¡°I shouldn¡¯t havee. Don¡¯t get excited just because you met your match. It¡¯s so dangerous!¡±
She didn¡¯t dare to think what would have happen if the cars had collided.
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll be careful.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was still worried as she said to him, ¡°Just one race, okay? We¡¯ll go back home whether you win or lose. It¡¯s already sote.¡±
¡°Whether I win or lose?¡± Yin Shaojie was not too happy hearing that as he cast a sidelong nce at her, ¡°Are you saying I¡¯ll lose?¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t say that!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao quickly denied it lest someone petty was finding a chance to punish her again.
¡°I will win.¡± Yin Shaojie was as confident as always.
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled, leaning her little face over to him and she said, ¡°What if you really lose?¡±
If he really went against that guy just now, it was hard to tell if he could really win. That person seemed really wild and skilled.
¡°Me? Lose?¡± Yin Shaojie nced at her through the corner of his eyes, visibly displeased with her words.
¡°Geez, I meant what if. Anything can happen, right? You might let him win for some reason or whatnot. I don¡¯t care, even if you lose you can¡¯t race again. Only one race and we¡¯ll go back home after that!¡±
Racing was too intense for her, especially when the challengers were evenly matched. She thought that one round was enough. If they were to go for two rounds, she was afraid her heart wouldn¡¯t be able to take it.
Yin Shaojie smirked haughtily. ¡°Not a chance!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao gave him a speechless look.
¡°Then I will wait and see!¡±
Finally, the car drove up to the top of the mountain only to see a dense pack of heads in front.
As soon as they saw Yin Shaojieing, the crowd cheered excitedly.
¡°Young Master Jie! Young Master Jie is here!¡±
¡°Is it really Young Master Jie? Wow. What a cool car!¡±
¡°Young Master Jie, could youe anyter? The flowers we brought for you are dying!¡±
When the car stopped, a man came to Yin Shaojie¡¯s car window and grumbled.

Yin Shaojie squinted at him. ¡°It¡¯s autumn now. It¡¯s only normal for the flowers to wither. Don¡¯t me a natural phenomenon on me.¡±
The man opened the door sycophantically. ¡°Young Master Jie, we¡¯re waiting for you to save the show. The kid won three races in a row tonight and he¡¯s too damned arrogant! Hearing the reports from the people up ahead, he has probably won this round with a huge lead.¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s long leg stepped out of the car, and his tall and slender figure instantly became the focus of attention.
He asked, ¡°Is it that modified Lamborghini?¡±
¡°Yes! Did you see it when you came up?¡± The man nodded and guessed.
¡°Yeah, it¡¯s pretty good.¡±
Yin Shaojie walked over to the front passenger seat and opened the door for Mu Xiaoxiao.
The man ran over, smiling sycophantically as he said, ¡°Young Master Jie, this must be Sister-inw, right? Eh¡ have I seen her before? She¡¯s the one that Young Master Jie¡¡±
Yin Shaojie wrapped his arm around Mu Xiaoxiao, his chin tilted up as though he were very proud as he said, ¡°Yes, she is my wife.¡±
¡°So, in the future¡¡± There won¡¯t be anymore changes?
But he didn¡¯t dare finish his sentence as he looked at Mu Xiaoxiao ingratiatingly and called out, ¡°Hello, Sister-inw!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao felt awkward. Being addressed like that felt somewhat ufortable.
¡°I think you¡¯d better not address me that way.¡±
¡°Then¡¡± How should he address her? By her name? How would he even dare! The man wiped his sweat timidly.
Yin Shaojie said bossily, ¡°Just call her that!¡±
That person was speechless.
So who should he listen to?
Mu Xiaoxiao pushed Yin Shaojie away so he couldn¡¯t put his arm around her. With so many people looking at them, she didn¡¯t like the feeling of having other people see her as his essory.
She red at the man and said, ¡°Call me that if you dare.¡±
She was only sixteen years old, okay?
What Sister-inw? That made her sound so old.
The man scratched his head awkwardly and asked, ¡°Then how should I address you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao raised her chin, ring at him as she said, ¡°My surname is Mu.¡±
That man quickly replied ingratiatingly, ¡°Miss Mu.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was now satisfied. It sounded more pleasing to the ear.
However, Yin Shaojie raised his eyebrows and pinched her cheek. ¡°Do you hate being called Sister-inw that much?¡±
But he liked it a lot. This way, everyone would know that she was his woman.
¡°It¡¯s sounds weird as thought we are some triad. I don¡¯t like it,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, pouting her mouth.
As usual, Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t know what to do with her. Though he could bossy at times, he would never do things against her will. He wouldn¡¯t do things that she was heavily opposed to.
As the two were talking, the crowd had gathered around them and kept calling for Young Master Jie.
Yin Shaojie knew that Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t like it and said to them, ¡°Alright, stop gathering around us. Shoo, shoo.¡±
Those people had no choice but to walk away grudgingly, leaving only a few rich kids who were close with Yin Shaojie.
¡°Young Master Jie, I heard that you are starting to be faithful now. Your haven¡¯t changed girlfriends in a while. This is so unlike you!¡±
¡°Exactly. Young Master Jie is a charmer. With so many girlsing at you, do you know how many of them are crying themselves to death upon hearing that you¡¯re not fickle anymore?¡±
¡°Young Master Jie, aren¡¯t you going to introduce her to us?¡±
Someone nudged the person who was speaking andughed, ¡°Why were you absent thest time? We¡¯ve all seen her before. I never expected Young Master Jie to have dated her for so long. They even look really close.¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Yeah. It seems like this is the longest you¡¯ve ever dated someone? Usually, it onlysts about two to three days, at most a week. Now it seems to have gone on for¡ a month already?¡±
Yin Shaojie cast a look at them. ¡°Enough nonsense. I¡¯m telling you, this will be myst. I won¡¯t change for another again!¡±
With that, those rich kids were all stunned.
¡°Wow, for real? Young Master Jie, you¡¯re not going to y the field anymore? You¡¯re not under some kind of spell, are you?¡±
¡°I say, Young Master Jie, the life of sensual pleasures can be so wonderful. Can you really bear to let it go?¡±
¡°Young Master Jie, are you sure you aren¡¯t kidding us?¡±
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao looked at them funnily, and her eyes gave Yin Shaojie a mocking nce.
She broke free from him and was ready to leave.
She really didn¡¯t want to hear these people talk.
Yin Shaojie clutched her little hand and prevented her from leaving. He tutted and said to them coldly, ¡°Enough! No more mentioning my past from now on!¡±
The rich kids were suddenly silent.
They looked at each other as if they were guessing whether Yin Shaojie really meant what he said?
Reading the situation, one of them quickly shifted the topic and said, ¡°Okay okay okay, we¡¯ll stop mentioning it. Let¡¯s talk about the race, alright? Young Master Jie, you have to be careful of the kid. The kid can be very cunning. At the start of the race, he deliberatelygs behind and as if to toy with the opponent, he keeps overtaking them again and again. Doesn¡¯t it rile you up?¡±
This person had lost to him earlier, so he was very angry.
These people liked racing. Although they weren¡¯t as good as Yin Shaojie, they had decent skills.
When Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t there, they won their races so they were still confident of their skills.
After getting ridiculed by the kid from East City, how could anyone not get angry?
Yin Shaojie joked, ¡°That¡¯s because your skills are subpar! If you guys were any better, you should have left him in the dust when you were in the lead, so he wouldn¡¯t be able to overtake you if he wanted.¡±
Being roasted like that, those guys touched their noses, embarassed.
Frankly speaking, they were really not as skilled as that guy.
There weren¡¯t many rules to their racing in the first ce. They could do anything to win. Though that kid¡¯s behavior was quite infuriating, it meant that he had the skills to be so arrogant.
¡°Young Master Jie, you gotta leave him in the dustter so that he can¡¯t even see your taillights!¡± someone said with gritted teeth.
¡°Young Master Jie, you¡¯re the only one who can beat him now. Don¡¯t give him any chances. Don¡¯t give him any mercy. We¡¯re counting on you to save our faces!¡±
Yin Shaojie waggled his brows. ¡°How do you n to repay me when I save your faces?¡±
Those people looked at each other and said, ¡°What does Young Master Jie want?¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t answer, turning to look at Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°What do you think?¡±
The rich kids were stunned. They never expected him to let Mu Xiaoxiao make the decision.
Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged, ¡°I don¡¯t know how you guys usually y this. What¡¯s the bet?¡±
That man, who was good at reading the situation, exined, ¡°It¡¯s a fierce battle today, so the bets arerger.¡±
Pondering for a moment, Mu Xiaoxiao looked around at them and said, ¡°How about this? All the winnings of the bet will go to us, is there any problem with that?¡±
The bunch of them were speechless.
This prettydy must be oblivious to how much the total winnings would be, right?
Yin Shaojie smirked and said in concert, ¡°Alright then! Any objections?¡±

How would they dare to refuse him. They could only look at each other in dismay, nodding as they said, ¡°Okay then¡¡±
Just then, someone in the distance shouted, ¡°The cars areing up!¡±
It seemed like the race was going to be over soon.
Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao turned to look. Very quickly, from the dark mountain road, a beam of light shed past. Like an arrow leaving the bow, it flew over the crowd.
The other group cheered and crowded around. ¡°We won! Second Young Master is still the bomb!¡±
The Lamborghini shot past the finish line but didn¡¯t slow down. Instead, it drifted nearby creating a harsh skidding sound.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned ufortably, sping her ear as she said annoyingly, ¡°It¡¯s so noisy! What¡¯s wrong with this guy?¡±
But those people thought differently. They cheered excitedly and chanted for the Second Young Master.
Yin Shaojie looked at someone, and the man exined, ¡°Second Young Master is the kid from East City. He seems to be the second son in his family, so he is called Second Young Master.¡±
Obviously, the people cheering for him were his friends.
Shortly after, the second car appeared and hurried through the finish line.
The car stopped beside Yin Shaojie, and the person in the driver¡¯s seat walked out. Looking infuriated, he threw something to the ground.
¡°This kid is too disgusting! I really feel like killing him!¡±
The few rich kids went up to console him.
¡°I told you, right? This kid is disgusting and I told you to be more careful. Why did you let him overtake you?¡±
¡°Like Young Master Jie said, your skills are subpar!¡±
¡°I say, you might as well just let him take the lead. It¡¯s better than being toyed with like a mouse.¡±
¡°Why don¡¯t we find some people and give him a thrashing? I¡¯m pissed! Look how arrogant he is. I really want to punch that face! F*ck!¡±
The more they talked, the angrier they became, their eyes filled with vicious currents.
Just then, a group of people came walking over to them.
¡°You are Yin Shaojie?¡± an arrogant voice said.
Yin Shaojie turned to look.
There was a handsome kid in the crowd. The kid looked arrogant and domineering. He waggled his brows contemptuously. Sweeping a nce at the few rich kids, he thenid his eyes on Yin Shaojie.
Meeting Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes, the kid smiled, his attitude bing less contemptuous and more excited.
¡°It seems that they¡¯re not mistaken. You are qualified to be my opponent!¡±
The kid had a bright smile and looked young and fearless. He held out his hand to Yin Shaojie and said, ¡°My name is Feng Tianqi. Everyone calls me Second Young Master. I¡¯m from East City. You should know that, right? I heard you¡¯re Mt. Akima¡¯s best racer?¡±
Yin Shaojie pocketed a hand in his pants, his hawk-like eyes ncing at his hand, and the corner of his mouth turned up in a smirk.
After a few seconds, he finally reached out to shake his hand.
Feng Tianqi knew that he was establishing an imposing air for himself, but he didn¡¯t mind. He smiled and said, ¡°I really wanted to race you, but I¡¯m quite tired after racing three rounds consecutively.¡±
¡°Oh?¡± Yin Shaojie raised his eyebrows.
However, it was true that the opponent had already raced three rounds. Even if he won the race, it wouldn¡¯t be glorious.
¡°It just so happens that my brother wants to race you. He¡¯s at least as good as me. You won¡¯t mind, right?¡± Feng Tianqi said as he pointed to a BMW parked at the side.

Because of his words, everyone¡¯s gaze followed the direction he was pointing at and stared.
His brother? Who could that be? Was he as skilled as him? And was he as arrogant as him as well?
These were the questions running through everyone¡¯s minds.
Yin Shaojie looked over. The darkness of the night was only illuminated by the car¡¯s headlights.
No one was able to see who was in the car.
However, he felt a gaze upon him.
The car drove over. The car door opened and a handsome figure got out. He looked at Mu Xiaoxiao smilingly and said, ¡°We meet again. What a coincidence.¡±
¡°Feng Shengyang?!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised. Why was he here?
On the other hand, Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t surprised, but he frowned.
Feng Tianqi walked over and stood by Feng Shengyang¡¯s side. Patting his shoulder, he said, ¡°Brother, you can¡¯t lose or you¡¯ll make me lose face.¡±
Feng Shengyang looked down and shot him a look. Feng Tianqi looked as though he was a little afraid of his brother as he rubbed his nose and discontinued his speech.
There was silence for a second before the crowd burst out with the sound of girls screaming.
¡°AH ¡ª It¡¯s Feng Shengyang! It¡¯s actually Feng Shengyang!¡±
¡°My goodness! This is my Young Master Feng! He¡¯s so handsome! He¡¯s so freaking handsome!¡±
The girls were thoroughly stirred. Every single one of them looked infatuated from seeing their idol, and some of them even tried to squeeze past the crowd to get an autograph from him.
Inparison, the girls by Feng Tianqi¡¯s side were evidently aware that Feng Shengyang was Feng Tianqi¡¯s brother. They didn¡¯t look shocked, but only looked at Feng Shengyang with adoration in their gazes.
They red at the other girls disdainfully. ¡°Can you shut up a little? Why are you being so noisy? Our Brother Shengyang doesn¡¯t like noise.¡±
A beauty with a hot figure had managed to travel to Feng Shengyang¡¯s side and she tried to hug his arm.
Unexpectedly, Feng Shengyang pushed her hands off and gestured to her not to touch him.
The beauty was a little sad, but not daring to anger him, moved backwards to a spot behind him. She was content as long as she could stand in a spot as close to him.
Feng Tianqi¡¯s eyebrows were raised as he smiled. In an arrogant tone, he said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°How¡¯s this? Or do you want to race me?¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t look at him, but turned his gaze to Feng Shengyang.
The answer was already very obvious.
Feng Shengyangughed. ¡°It seems as though we have affinity. I¡¯d just said I wanted to race with you int the morning, and the opportunity has presented itself so early.¡±
¡°Is affinity something that can be relied upon?¡± Yin Shaojie said sarcastically. He looked as though he had seen through the other boy¡¯s ruse.
Affinity was something that happened by coincidence. It wasn¡¯t affinity if a situation was orchestrated by someone.
Upon hearing that they were going to race, Mu Xiaoxiao let out a sigh of relief instead.
Feng Tianqi seemed like a lunatic, and she was worried that something would happen to Yin Shaojie.
Feng Shengyang seemed like he was a little more normal than him.
However, it would be ages before Mu Xiaoxiao understood Feng Shengyang¡¯s character and realized how naive she was!
Feng Shengyang, normal?
It was ridiculous!
None of the people in the Feng family were normal!
Yes, they were all ¡°feng 1 ¡± just like their surname suggested!
Mu Xiaoxiao tugged at Yin Shaojie¡¯s shirt. Leaning forward and speaking into his ear, she said, ¡°Hurry up and race him. It¡¯ste. Let¡¯s head home after the race.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Yin Shaojie nodded as he looked askance at Feng Shengyang.
In the next instant, his lips curled and he blew a puff of breath into Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ear.

Mu Xiaoxiao quivered and a shock went through her body.
Her ear was a sensitive spot, and she couldn¡¯t take such treatment.
¡°What¡¯re you doing!¡± She grumbled flirtatiously.
Yin Shaojie pretended toin, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to give me a kiss to cheer me on?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao obviously didn¡¯t mind giving him a kiss, but¡ there were so many people surrounding them when she looked about. The whole crowd looked as though there were 50 or 60 people there.
¡°Hurry up!¡± Yin Shaojie urged in a whisper.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. ¡°You¡¯re really troublesome.¡±
Even though those were the words that came out of her mouth, she still leaned forward and nted a kiss on his handsome face.
¡°Muack.¡± After the kiss, she said to him, ¡°All the best. Don¡¯t lose!¡±
She knew that he didn¡¯t want to lose to Feng Shengyang at all.
¡°Idiot! You should have said ¡®Hubby, you¡¯ll definitely win!¡¯¡± Yin Shaojie reached out and pinched her cheek.
Mu Xiaoxiao pushed his arm away bashfully. ¡°Okay, hurry up and go race! You must win. You will win. Is that okay now?¡±
At a gesture from Yin Shaojie, the rest of the people dispersed to make preparations.
Feng Shengyang had originally wanted to speak a few words to Mu Xiaoxiao. However, Yin Shaojie had prevented him from essing her and thus he could only smile and get into his own car.
Feng Tianqi walked over to the door of the car. Leaning on the window, he said, ¡°Brother, I think he¡¯s very skilled, so don¡¯t underestimate him.¡±
¡°Yeah,¡± Feng Shengyang replied. His gaze stared beyond the window of the car and rested on the figure of Mu Xiaoxiao.
Feng Tianqi followed his gaze and looked at Mu Xiaoxiao too.
¡°Is she your current target? She looks as cute as a doll. I like her eyes.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes were as clear as a spring and as perfect as ck pearls, and theyforted their observers.
Feng Tianqi was different from Feng Shengyang. The former liked extreme sports, and wasn¡¯t very interested in girls. Even though there were many pretty girls around him who came on to him voluntarily, he disliked and avoided them, for he thought that girls were very troublesome.
Thus, this was his first time having a favorable impression of a girl.
Feng Shengyang looked away. A meaningful smile passed over his eyes as he said, ¡°She is indeed very cute.¡±
Both her looks and personality were cute.
A puzzled Feng Tianqi asked, ¡°Weren¡¯t you chasing that Su Lin previously? You haven¡¯t gotten her yet, right? Brother, it isn¡¯t like you at all to change your target before you win a girl over. Or you¡¯ve hit a wall with her and are nning to give up?¡±
He sounded a little teasing as he said thest sentence.
After all, his brother was a skilled yer. He never gave up!
Feng Tianqi thought for a while. He had never seen his brother fail in anything from the time he was a child till now. This was especially so with women, whom he was really good at seducing. He could do whatever he wanted with them, and whichever girl he chose offered him her heart without fail.
Upon hearing this, Feng Shengyang shot a look at him and said, ¡°Who told you that I was giving up? Me, Feng Shengyang, unable to seduce a woman? That¡¯s a joke!¡±
¡°So?¡± Feng Tianqi interrogated curiously.
¡°Just wait and see.¡±
Feng Tianqi realized that his gaze had be fixated on Mu Xiaoxiao involuntarily again. He asked, a little puzzled, ¡°Brother, why do I feel like you¡¯re abnormally interested in Yin Shaojie¡¯s woman?¡±
He didn¡¯t understand one thing: Even though his brother was a flirt, he still had a principle of not going after other people¡¯s girlfriends.
Chapter 865 - Dead or Alive (3)
Chapter 865: Dead or Alive (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Feng Shengyang didn¡¯t reply. He only said indifferently, ¡°You don¡¯t have to care about this.¡±
As he knew that asking about something he didn¡¯t want to talk about was useless, Feng Tianqi only patted his shoulder and teased, ¡°Good luck then, Brother. That Yin Shaojie looks like he¡¯s very skilled, so don¡¯t lose to him. It would be ugly, given your superstar status.¡±
¡°Do you think that I¡¯ll lose?¡± Feng Shengyang smirked confidently, his eyes shing as he gazed upon the nearby Mu Xiaoxiao.
He was nning to use this match to show off in front of Mu Xiaoxiao, to show her that he was more talented than Yin Shaojie.
Thus, he could not, and must not lose.
Feng Tianqi snickered and said, ¡°I don¡¯t wish for you to lose, of course. However, Yin Shaojie is a highly skilled opponent. I felt it when I met his eyes earlier, and I felt like having a match with him, though it looks like I¡¯ll have to wait.¡±
However, if his brother beat Yin Shaojie in this round, it would mean that Yin Shaojie was not skilled enough. It wouldn¡¯t carry significance even if he beat Yin Shaojie after that.
In Feng Tianqi¡¯s own words, it wouldn¡¯t be a cool victory!
¡°Just wait and see.¡± Feng Shengyang pushed the cars he had ced on the car window and lowered them.
Meanwhile.
After assigning someone to take care of Mu Xiaoxiao, Yin Shaojie drove the sports car over to the start line.
The two of them were the only onespeting in this match.
There were people shrieking all around them. Some of them cheered for Yin Shaojie while others cheered for Feng Shengyang. Public opinion seemed to be divided evenly.
The two dazzling sports cars were lined up at the start line, their engines roaring deafeningly.
A lithe and graceful girl stood between the cars. Raising a g, she waved it twice with a practiced motion before announcing smilingly, ¡°Start!¡±
A shot rang out from the re gun.
The two cars seemed to fly past simultaneously, whizzing ahead side by side.
The crows rushed forward while screaming both their names.
Mu Xiaoxiao, who was standing at the side, felt her neck craning involuntarily. She saw how the two cars seemed to fly along the roads and disappear from the crowd¡¯s sight.
It was alreadyte at night, and it was really quiet up here on the mountain.
Even though the cars had already gone, faint engine sounds and that of rubber tires grinding against the road could still be heard.
After the cars had gone, someone yed songs from their car¡¯s stereo. All the boys and girls started to dance, as though they had just entered a nightclub.
Finding the stereo to be noisy, Mu Xiaoxiao took a step back.
Just then, Feng Tianqi walked to her side, resting his arrogant gaze on her.
He looked interested as he asked, ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±
Upon seeing his approach, the rich boy in charge of taking care of Mu Xiaoxiao frowned and heard him ask this just as he was trying to think of how to get rid of him.
Did this guy not want to live anymore? How dare he try to seduce Young Master Jie¡¯s girlfriend!
¡°You¡¯re not wee here. Are you looking to be beaten up?¡±
Upon hearing that, Feng Tianqi¡¯s eyebrows shot up. He clenched his fist and cracked his neck. ¡°A fight? I like fight! Come at me!¡±
The person rolled his eyes at him and muttered, ¡°He¡¯s a lunatic, all right.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao red at Feng Tianqi and said unceremoniously, ¡°You¡¯re noisy.¡±
Feng Tianqi paused, as though he didn¡¯t expect her first words to be that. He frowned and said, ¡°What did you say?¡±
Chapter 866 - Dead or Alive (4)
Chapter 866: Dead or Alive (4)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°I said, you¡¯re noisy. I don¡¯t know you, so why should I tell you my name?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t like him very much, and thus wasn¡¯t very polite when speaking to him.
She thought about how this person had almost crashed into their car when they were going up the mountain and she just couldn¡¯t make herself like this person.
The rich boy thought that Feng Tianqi was going to get angry and was about to block him from Mu Xiaoxiao so that she wouldn¡¯t get hurt.
However, Feng Tianqi onlyughed. ¡°Are you not spouting nonsense? I want to know your name precisely because I don¡¯t know you. Or is it that¡ your name¡¯s so ugly sounding that you don¡¯t want to tell it to me?¡±
Thest sentence seemed like he was trying to goad her into telling him her name.
Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t going to fall for his trick of course and she crossed her arms and looked at him.
Sheughed too, and her crescent-shaped eyes shed as though there was a little devil in them. ¡°I don¡¯t want to tell you. Bite me. Did you forget something? We¡¯re enemies! Why should I cooperate with an enemy?¡±
Feng Tianqi gritted his teeth. Grinding them deliberately, he said to her, ¡°I really want to bite you. Are you inviting me to bite you?¡±
He just realized how soft and smooth her skin was from this distance. It really made him want to kiss and bite her.
¡°Why should I let you bite me? I¡¯m not an idiot!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked as him as though he was an idiot and even snorted through her nose.
Feeling that bantering with her was fun, Feng Tianqi decided not to leave.
¡°You don¡¯t look very smart.¡±
¡°You¡¯re the one who doesn¡¯t look smart! You look like a willful guy.¡±
The rich boy near them was anxious. Why was the conversation between these two getting longer? Also, Feng Tianqi didn¡¯t look like he was about to leave, and had an air of trying to loiter around.
¡°That¡ Should we focus on how the match is going right now?¡± He spoke out and interrupted their conversation.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused. It was only then that she realized that she had been led around by the nose by Feng Tianqi.
How could she have conversed with an enemy?
She turned her gaze away. Ignoring Feng Tianqi, she asked the boy, ¡°Who¡¯s in the lead now?¡±
Feng Tianqi touched her shoulder. ¡°What¡¯re you so worried for? They¡¯ve just started, and it isn¡¯t important who¡¯s in the lead now, but who wins in the end.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked as though she had been disgusted by something filthy and jumped to one side.
She red at him as she said, ¡°Are you not interested in having a hand?¡±
If Yin Shaojie knew that he had touched her, he need only wait to see if his hand would still be attached to his arm!
Feng Tianqi was about to say that no one would dare to touch him. However, upon looking at her face, he recalled how deterrent Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze had felt when their gazes met, and knew that her threat wasn¡¯t an empty one.
With nothing else to say, he replied, ¡°Nothing will happen even if I touch you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao said disgustedly, ¡°I don¡¯t like it when other men touch me! I dare you to try that again!¡±
Feng Tianqi didn¡¯t like to lose. ¡°Game on!¡±
He reached out to try to touch her again as he said this.
Mu Xiaoxiao dodged it, of course. How could she let someone touch her just because they wanted to?
She hid behind the boy¡¯s back so that Feng Tianqi wouldn¡¯t be able to touch her. ¡°Are you nuts! Why would you want to touch me!¡±
¡°You were the one who challenged me to try. You won¡¯t lose a piece of your flesh even if I touch you. Stop hiding ande out here if you have the guts!¡±
¡°Only an idiot wille out!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stuck her tongue out at him mischievously.
¡°You¡¯re an idiot!¡±
¡°It¡¯s you who¡¯s the idiot! You¡¯re a big idiot!¡±
The rich boy who was being used as a shield looked at them, not knowing if he shouldugh or cry. Didn¡¯t they say that they were enemies?

Why did they look llike two childish little kids instead?
At this point, he waved a person over and asked, ¡°How¡¯s the situation now?¡±
Holding a walkie-talkie in his hands, the person reported, ¡°Young Master Jie has been in the lead for a while, but the other guy caught up. It seems that the two cars are side by side, and no one¡¯s in the lead.¡±
Upon hearing this, Feng Tianqi tutted. Shaking his head, he said deliberately, ¡°It seems like my brother isn¡¯t that capable! How could he not have left hispetitor in the dust yet?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her chin and said proudly, ¡°Our Jie is superior, of course! He just hasen¡¯t unleashed his full power yet, but he¡¯ll definitely leave your brother in the dust in the end!¡±
Feng Tianqi didn¡¯t believe that his brother would lose, of course. He had only been teasing as per habit earlier, but she had taken it unexpectedly seriously.
He red at her and said, ¡°The person who¡¯ll win will be my brother!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stuck her tongue out at him. ¡°Dream on! The winner will be from our side!¡±
The boy near them was speechless.
Those who didn¡¯t know better would have thought they had arrived at a kindergarten.
Just then, the walkie-talkie buzzed noisily, and someone¡¯s voice came out intermittently.
¡°Something bad has happened!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao and the people around her paused, unsure of what they just heard.
The rich boy took the walkie-talkie and asked the person on the other side, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? What¡¯s the situation currently? Did someone get overtaken?¡±
Again, the walkie-talkie buzzed roughly, and transmitted someone¡¯s heavy breathing over.
¡°There¡¯s an ident! The cars have got into an ident!¡± The person on the other side of the walkie-talkie shouted in panic.
This time, all the people heard it clearly.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Feng Tianqi practically pounced forward at the same time, trying to snatch the walkie-talkie away.
The rich boy was calmer, and asked hurriedly, ¡°What happened? Tell me!¡±
At the same time, he gestured to someone to make a call to the person on the walkie-talkie. It simply had to have bad cell reception at this time, and it was made the people around them worried.
The call was epted by the other side.
The person on the other side of the phone reported in a terrified tone, ¡°The cars passed Road C4, but a little kid s-suddenly dashed forward. To prevent the kid from being hit, Young Master Jie hit the steering wheel and crashed into the other car. Both cars destroyed the railing and dropped down below¡¡±
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao felt as though the blood in her body was draining away. A chill stole over her fingers.
¡°Dropped down? What does that mean!¡± She reached out, snatched the phone away, and roared at the person on the other end.
¡°How are the people now! Are they alright?¡±
¡°I-I don¡¯t know¡ It¡¯s dark down there, and if it¡¯s a cliff¡ then the people¡¡± The person was so scared that he dared not continue.
There was a buzzing in Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s head, and her whole scalp tingled.
¡°It can¡¯t be¡ it can¡¯t be¡¡±
Feng Tianqi looked like he was in disbelief as well, and ran over to his own sports car frantically.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at his silhouette and sprinted over.
¡°Can you take me there too?¡± She grabbed his hand in one swift motion. Her hand was trembling.
Feng Tianqi looked at her and realized the tears running down her face. He couldn¡¯t reject her even if he wanted to.
¡°Hurry up and get in!¡± He was also very worried about his brother right now.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t even think to thanking him as she rushed over to the passenger seat, opened the door and got into the car.
Feng Tianqi¡¯s sports car left the crowd in the dust before the rest of the crowd had realized what had happened.
¡°I heard there¡¯s been an ident!¡±
¡°An ident? Did their cars crash?¡±

¡°I think they said that the two cars have fallen down the cliff. It seems unlikely that they¡¯ll live¡¡±
The crowd rose to a mor as they talked about what happened, spreading the news of the event.
Some of the rich kids stared at them and shouted, ¡°Shut up! Enough of that nonsense! We don¡¯t know what the situation is. We won¡¯t let off anyone who starts a rumor!¡±
With that, the crowd went silent.
Those few rich kids hurried to their cars and drove toward where the incident happened.
¡
Mu Xiaoxiao had never felt so cold. Her whole body was shivering unceasingly.
Her head was a mess, and countless possibilities shed through her mind.
Feng Tianqi sped the car up to 200 miles per hour.
But Mu Xiaoxiao still felt it was too slow. She only wanted to rush to Yin Shaojie¡¯s side to confirm that he was alright!
¡°Please be okay. Please be okay. You must be okay¡¡± she muttered quietly.
Feng Tianqi kept a straight face, looking worried, without the domineering and arrogant attitude from before.
¡°Brother, please be okay!¡± he shouted.
Finally, they rushed to the scene as quickly as possible.
The subordinate was already scared to death. His face turned white as he looked at the car that had just appeared, and he pointed at the broken railing with a nk expression and stuttered, ¡°T-this is the ce¡¡±
Without even waiting for the car to stop, Mu Xiaoxiao opened the door in a hurry and ran out.
Feng Tianqi couldn¡¯t stop her dangerous action. He stopped the car casually along the road, not caring if it was blocking any cars, and he followed behind her.
Even though she was right at the scene of the incident, Mu Xiaoxiao still couldn¡¯t believe that this actually happened.
It had only been a few minutes¡
She stood unsteadily by the broken railing and looked down at the pitch ck below. She had no idea where Yin Shaojie¡¯s car had fallen to.
¡°Jie! Where are you! Answer me!¡± she screamed, her voice straining and forlorn.
¡°You¡¯re fine, right? Hurry up and answer me!¡±
¡°Jie! Answer me!¡±
She called out to him, but there was no response.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart felt even more chilly as though it had been frozen for a thousand years and she quivered uncontrobly.
The subordinate¡¯s hand trembled as he said, ¡°Young Master Jie¡¯s car and the other car were traveling very fast¡ so they couldn¡¯t brake in time. In an instant, they flew out. Now, we have no idea if they are¡¡±
Dead or alive.
He naturally didn¡¯t dare to say those words.
But what were the chances of surviving such a fall from the cliff? It was obvious to anyone.
Feng Tianqi clenched his jaw, his teeth gritted angrily as he suddenly pulled the man¡¯s cor and punched him. He berated, ¡°How did you guys even set this ce up! How could such a thing happen! You¡¯re all useless! Useless!¡±
The subordinate could only take the beating. He didn¡¯t dare resist, let alone fight back.
Typically, Mu Xiaoxiao would have stopped Feng Tianqi. If he kept going, the subordinate might die from Feng Tianqi¡¯s beating.
But now, she could only worry about Yin Shaojie¡¯s safety and had no time to care for others.
Feng Tianqi howled at the man, ¡°What are you waiting for! Call the ambnce!¡±
¡°I-I have already called them¡¡±
Just then, the others also arrived.
¡°Young Master Jie! How¡¯s Young Master Jie! What happened to them!¡±

Feng Tianqi stared at the rich kids before him and said with a cold voice, ¡°You¡¯re worried about your friend? What about my brother! I¡¯m telling you, if something happens to my brother, I¡¯ll bury you with him!¡±
The rich kids looked at each other, having no choice but to bite their lips at his threat. After all, it wasn¡¯t time for quarrel.
¡°Lives are at stake! We gotta find a way to save them first.¡±
¡°But, it¡¯s so dark down there. We have no idea what the situation is down there. We can only wait for the rescue team toe. Has anyone called the ambnce?¡±
¡°In this kind of situation, use whatever help you can get! Get more people here! We can¡¯t let anything happen to them!¡±
They couldn¡¯t let anything happen to Yin Shaojie or Feng Shengyang. They were both important people. Both of them must be safe. Not a single mishap muste to them!
¡°Who has a shlight? Anyone have a shlight!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t have one. Who carries a shlight nowadays? And even if you have a shlight, you probably won¡¯t be able to see down below.¡±
¡°There seems to be a slope here. Do you think there could be a chance it¡¯s not a sheet drop? Don¡¯t they show tree branches catching cars in the movies?¡±
¡°This isn¡¯t a movie. This is real life. The way I see it, there isn¡¯t much hope¡
¡°Shh! Don¡¯t say that!¡±
The crowd was noisy. Some were anxiously thinking of ways to save them while others thought that the situation was quite hopeless.
However, as the crowd stood by the broken railing and looked down, no one dared to get too close to the edge.
After all, the winds were quite strong in the mountains. What would they do if a gust of wind suddenly pushed them down?
Only two people dared to stand in front, almost leaning their bodies out over the edge.
They were Mu Xiaoxiao and Feng Tianqi.
One of the rich kids saw that it was very dangerous for Mu Xiaoxiao, and he said softly, ¡°Sister-inw, don¡¯t stand too close. Stand further from the edge. The rescue team will be arriving soon.¡±
The rescue team was arriving soon?
They were on the mountain, and Mt. Akima was quite remotely located. Even the nearest rescue team would take at least twenty to thirty minutes to get here.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t believe those reassuring words.
At this moment, every second of waiting was torture.
She couldn¡¯t restrain herself from imagining all the things that could happen.
Perhaps Yin Shaojie¡¯s car was stopped by something? Perhaps he wasn¡¯t in critical condition, but if they were to continue dying the rescue, could he continue falling down the cliff and die horribly?
The most scary thought was that the car could have already fallen down the cliff and they had already¡
Mu Xiaoxiao sped her mouth, whimpering as tears fell. The feeling gripping her at her chest was suffocating her and driving her crazy.
She couldn¡¯t wait any longer. She was going crazy.
She must find out immediately if Yin Shaojie was still alive!
Mu Xiaoxiao wiped off the tears with the back of her hand. Taking a few deep breaths, she opened her phone¡¯s shlight and shined it down below.
Although there was a slope, the slope was very steep. Even if it was daytime, no one would dare to go down from here.
However, the others watched as Mu Xiaoxiao shone light on the ground and moved as if about to go down.
Shocked, Feng Tianqi quickly grabbed her hand in time and shouted. ¡°Are you crazy?!¡±
It was pitch ck below. And no one knew what the terrain was like. What if she were to misstep and fall down?

Just what was she thinking?
Although he was as anxious as her, the best and safest thing they could do now was wait for the rescue team toe.
Mu Xiaoxiao knitted her brows and tried to forcefully twist her hand free from his. ¡°Let go!¡±
She stared at him angrily, gritting her teeth as she said, ¡°Let go, do you hear? Go away!¡±
Of course, she knew that it was very dangerous down below. But was she supposed to just wait here and do nothing?
No. She couldn¡¯t do that.
Although her rational mind was telling her that the safest way was to wait for the rescue team toe, she really couldn¡¯t restrain herself. She was flustered, shaking incessantly with fear. She had to do something, something that she could do. Otherwise, she really couldn¡¯t stand it.
Tears rolled down her cheeks and fell in heavy drops to the ground.
Her voice sobbed and shouted, ¡°Let me go! Who the heck are you? Who put you in charge of me? Let go!¡±
¡°You¡¯re only asking for death!¡± Feng Tianqi gritted his teeth, refusing to let her go.
¡°Even if I¡¯m asking for death, it¡¯s none of your business!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t tolerate him any longer. She pulled his hand and bit him.
Feng Tianqi had no choice but to let go of her.
Making use of the chance, Mu Xiaoxiao sat on the grass and slid down. But because the slope was really steep ¨C not even twenty degrees ¨C and she was unfamiliar with the terrain below, she was scared and didn¡¯t dare to go too fast.
After confirming that Feng Tianqi wouldn¡¯t catch her, she slowed down. Holding a cell phone in one hand to light the way, she slowed herself down with a hand on the ground.
Fortunately, when she was in America, she often went out with William and friends for outdoor activities, so she was no stranger to this.
Although the slope was indeed steep, her small figure and light weight helped her.
Seeing her go down the mountain, Feng Tianqi didn¡¯t know what to do with her as he could only watch her worriedly.
Someone eximed, ¡°She went down!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t go down! It¡¯s very dangerous!¡±
¡°Oh my heavens. Just how bold is she? Forget how dark it is and not being able to see what¡¯s down there, with such strong wind, what if she gets pushed down by the wind? Is she stupid?¡±
The rich kids also looked horrified and anxiously tried calling out to stop her.
¡°Hey! Don¡¯t go down! This is too dangerous! Come back up here! The rescue team is arriving soon. Young Master Jie will definitely be okay!¡±
¡°Hurry up and think of something! Tell her to get up. How can we just let her go down? If anything happens to her, Young Master Jie will kill us!¡±
¡°But¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao simply ignored their shouting. Her expression was resolute as she carefully slid down the path.
But the slope was still too steep. She continued to slide down without stopping. Her hands were too tired and she was losing strength.
Suddenly, upon stepping on something, she slipped down abruptly and screamed out.
Hearing that, the people above sucked in a breath, thinking that she fell.
¡°God! Is she really looking for death!¡±
¡°I can¡¯t stand it anymore. I don¡¯t dare to look down. It¡¯s terrible!¡±
Just when everyone was kept in suspense, they saw Mu Xiaoxiao stabilize herself and continue to move down at a constant speed. Again, they tensed up.
God! She still wanted to continue going down?

One of the rich kids pounded his fist, sighed helplessly, and said to everyone, ¡°Turn on all your cell phone shlights and help shine some light.¡±
Everyone turned on their shlights and helped to illuminate Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s path.
But the effect was minimal. The shlights from the cell phones were weak so they could do little to illuminate the path.
Shortly, Mu Xiaoxiao slipped into the darkness. They had no choice but to watch as the glimmer of light continued downward into the darkness.
¡°Where is she now? She can¡¯t have gotten into a mishap, right?¡±
¡°She seems to have slid quite far down. It seems like it¡¯s not a cliff down there. But could there be things like snakes?¡±
¡°Yeah. It¡¯s so dark. I¡¯m scared just thinking about it. She¡¯s too bold. Isn¡¯t she afraid?¡±
¡°True sentiments are seen in hard times! Tell me, if your boyfriend fell down would you dare to go down?¡±
¡°I won¡¯t dare to do it¡ My life is still more important.¡±
¡ª¡ª-
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know how long she had been descending. But at the moment, her mind didn¡¯t care about any danger as she single-mindedly searched for Yin Shaojie¡¯s car.
Her arms were tired, and she could hardly hear the sounds of people above.
Finally, something reflected the light from her phone.
It was a license te!
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t even get excited. She quickly sped up to the car.
Sure enough, it was Yin Shaojie¡¯s car!
It seemed to have hit something and was stuck.
Mu Xiaoxiao held onto the car as she stood up and walked to the driver¡¯s seat. Shining light inside, she found Yin Shaojie.
He was leaning against the inted airbag and looked like he had fainted.
He wasn¡¯t hurt, was he?
Mu Xiaoxiao was anxious as she tapped on the window and shouted loudly. ¡°Jie! Jie! Are you okay? Wake up!¡±
However, her hands had lost their strength. Her strength wasn¡¯t enough for her to wake him up.
What should she do?
Unsure if they were safe yet, she had to wake him up quickly and check if he was injured.
Mu Xiaoxiao shone the light around and she found a stone bigger than the palm of her hand.
She pondered for a moment and put the phone in her pocket, allowing the shlight to poke out above the pocket.
Then she bent down and felt around for the stone. She lifted it up with difficulty and hit it against the window.
She originally wanted to use the stone to break the window but either she wasn¡¯t strong enough or that the window was too sturdy for she couldn¡¯t break it. The window didn¡¯t show any signs of breaking.
Mu Xiaoxiao was so flustered she was going to cry. She continued to hit the rock on the window as she shouted to Yin Shaojie, ¡°Yin Shaojie! Wake up! You bastard! Hurry and wake up! Bastard Yin Shaojie! Idiot Yin Shaojie! I¡¯m telling you to wake up! Do you hear me!¡±
Her voice didn¡¯t wake up Yin Shaojie, but it woke up another person instead.
Just behind Mu Xiaoxiao there was another overturned car.
Feng Shengyang woke up to a splitting headache. He opened his eyes to see a faint shaking light.
He quickly remembered the crash. And it seemed that he had not been killed in it.
Before he could figure out what happened to him, he heard Mu Xiaoxiao crying outside.
She had been yelling non-stop, calling Yin Shaojie¡¯s name.

Chapter 872: Dead or Alive (10)

Judging from the faint light and knocking sound, Feng Shengyang could tell that she was using a stone to smash the window.
But she was also pretty dumb. Expensive luxury sports cars not only had high performance and cool designs but were also very sturdy. If other cars fell down the mountain and hit something, it would probably be wrecked, and there would be little chance of survival for anyone inside.
But their cars were different. The sturdiness of eachponent were the best.
Breaking the window would be no easy task. Moreover, she was a girl. It would be a miracle if she broke it given her strength.
Feng Shengyang wanted to sit up straight, but his head was very dizzy. Everything seemed to be spinning. He suspected that he might have a concussion.
Moreover, his left arm was very painful and couldn¡¯t be lifted up.
So he could only lean on the airbag and watch Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s every move.
After watching for some time, he found it weird. Why was she alone?
Where were the others?
Where was Feng Tianqi?
Could it be¡
Feng Shengyang thought of a possibility. His pupils suddenly erged as he stared fixedly at Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s blurry figure. Just how much strength did she have in that petite body of hers. She continued to shout, her voice already hoarse.
He recalled the ce where he and Yin Shaojie had collided. It was very steep. Fortunately, it wasn¡¯t a cliff, or they would surely have died.
However, they were still not safe. On such a steep slope they could still slip and roll down.
Did she¡ climb down alone?
Was she asking for death?
Feng Shengyang took a deep breath. For some reason, he suddenly smiled, his eyes gazing deeply at the petite figure outside.
Mu Xiaoxiao continued to hit the window, but it still didn¡¯t budge.
She had hardly any strength left in her. Panting heavily, she still refused to give up.
Just when she was about to continue, she heard a faint voice. ¡°Stop hitting¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao froze. She dropped the stone, the strength of her arms were almost exhausted. She didn¡¯t even have the strength to pick up her cell phone with one hand. She had no choice but to lift the cell phone with both her hands as she shone light into the car. .
¡°Jie, are you awake? Answer me again!¡±
Sure enough, she saw the figure in the car lifting his head.
She heard the familiar, deep voice. ¡°I¡¯m awake¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes became watery, and tears trickled down.
Sticking her face against the window, she sobbing and said in her hoarse voice, ¡°You scared me¡ Boohoo. Do you know you scared me! I thought¡ I thought¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t cry. I¡¯m fine,¡± Yin Shaojie said, finally lifting up his hand and lowering the window.
Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedly opened the door and rushed up to hug him.
¡°Boohoo¡¡± She burst into tears, as if she was going to vent out all her panic and fear so that he would know how scared she had been.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s head was hurting badly.
But in that moment, his heart was hurting even more.
His heart was broken at her crying.
¡°Don¡¯t cry. Don¡¯t cry, alright?¡± He pressed his lips on her forehead and asked gently, holding and caressing her head.
Mu Xiaoxiao was crying as her breath hitched. ¡°I¡¯m so, I¡¯m so scared. I thought you were going to¡ Boo hoo¡¡±
¡°Am I not fine now? I¡¯m really fine. Don¡¯t cry. I feel bad.¡± Yin Shaojie had recovered slightly, Holding her face in both hands, his lips rested on her eyes

He slowly kissed away her tears.
How could Yin Shaojie not guess from the hoarseness of her voice that she must have been crying for a long time?
Silly girl.
After embracing each other for a while, Yin Shaojie looked around and noticed that something was wrong.
The car was not level and it was dark all around. It didn¡¯t look like they were being saved by the rescue teams.
Then¡
Yin Shaojie looked down at the silly wretch buried in her arms. How did she get here? Where were the others?
He wanted to push her away to ask her what was going on.
But when he pushed her a little, the wretch hugged him even tighter, as though she couldn¡¯t be without him, her arms still sped tightly around him.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t know what else to do, so he let her continue embracing him.
Just then, a voice came from above, ¡°Brother¡¡±
Yin Shaojie raised his head a little and saw a ray of light and Feng Tianqi as he ran to the door of Feng Shengyang¡¯s car.
Feng Shengyang had been watching the two embracing each other. Little did he expect to hear Feng Tianqi¡¯s voice and a ck figure blocking his view.
Feng Tianqi tried to open the door, but it couldn¡¯t be opened, so he banged on the window.
¡°Brother! Are you okay?¡±
Feng Shengyang seemed a little happy seeing him, and with difficulty, he raised his right hand to open the door.
The door was quickly opened and Feng Tianqi got into the front passenger seat, shining the phone¡¯s shlight at him. He asked worriedly, ¡°Brother, are you injured?¡±
Feng Shengyang shook his head. He wanted to get up, but he noticed that his left arm was numb and his legs seemed to be stuck. He couldn¡¯t muster up any strength.
So he simply gave up.
¡°What took you so long?¡± There seemed to be some grievance in his tone.
Feng Tianqi touched his nose in embarrassment. If he didn¡¯t see Mu Xiaoxiao make her way down safely, he wouldn¡¯t have dared to slide his way down.
¡°Have you called for rescue?¡±
Judging from the current situation, he wouldn¡¯t be able to get out himself and could only wait for the rescue team to get him out of there.
Feng Tianqi nodded. ¡°Yeah, we called them. They¡¯ll be here soon. Brother, bear with it a little longer. Are you feeling difort anywhere?¡±
¡°Quiet a little. My head hurts.¡± Feng Shengyang frowned as he interrupted him lest he kept on nagging. Although his left hand couldn¡¯t move, he suspected that it was a nerve issue. What was of greatest concern was that his brain might have suffered a concussion.
And the rascal Feng Tianqi was talking so loudly beside him that it was making his head hurt even more.
Hearing that, Feng Tianqi shut his mouth.
¡°T-then, I¡¯ll go outside to check up on the situation.¡±
With that said, Feng Tianqi climbed out of the car. Just when he wanted to check up on Mu Xiaoxiao, he saw the silhouette of the two embracing each otherband he paused.
He just happened to exchange nces with Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie asked, ¡°Why are only the two of you here? Where are the rest?¡±
Feng Tianqi looked at Mu Xiaoxiao, who was buried in his embrace, with great respect as he exined, ¡°Only the two of us came down. The rest are still up there. They didn¡¯t dare toe down.¡±
Yin Shaojie sighed and sped the person in his arms even tighter.
Although he had expected as much, upon hearing confirmation from him he felt a gripping sensation in his heart.
Dammit, this wretch¡ Why did she do such a dangerous thing¡
However, it also made him feel warm inside.
It was evident how important he was to her.
Chapter 874 - She’s a Mu (2)
Chapter 874: She¡¯s a Mu (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
He could sympathize with her. If she was the one to be in danger he would also anxiously do everything he could to confirm that she was safe.
Watching them being intimate with each other, he felt like a third wheel standing there.
So he turned around and returned to the car.
Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t someone who liked to wait. Especially in this situation, he didn¡¯t want to just sit there and wait helplessly. So he fumbled about to find his cell phone.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt him moving. She looked up at him and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is my hugging making you ufortable?¡±
¡°No, I like that you¡¯re holding me. I¡¯m just looking for my cell phone.¡±
The sports car wasn¡¯t too spacious from the start. Now that she squeezed in, it was even more crowded.
It was really quite difficult finding his cell phone.
With her finger, Mu Xiaoxiao wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said in a hoarse voice. ¡°Stop moving. I¡¯ll help you find it.¡±
She stepped back a little, illuminating the car¡¯s interior with the cell phone¡¯s shlight. Then she finally found the cell phone at his feet.
¡°I wonder if it¡¯s broken from the fall.¡± She bent down, reached out and felt the cell phone.
Fortunately, the phone had a phone cover so it wasn¡¯t broken.
Mu Xiaoxiao handed him the cell phone and continued hugging him.
Yin Shaojie chuckled at her behavior. It was rare to see her so fondly attached to him.
He took the cell phone and dialed a number.
The call was answered on the other end, and the person said joyfully, ¡°Young Master Jie? Are you okay? You scared us!¡±
¡°Yeah, I¡¯m alright. How long will it take for the rescue team to arrive?¡±
¡°They should be here in about ten minutes. I¡¯ll get someone to rush them again. Young Master Jie, that¡ Is Sister-inw there with you? We wanted to stop her, but we couldn¡¯t manage to hold her back. She just wanted to get to you. So we didn¡¯t know what else to do¡¡± That man knew that Yin Shaojie might get angry because of this, so he quickly exined lest he had to carry the me.
¡°I know. She is right beside me now,¡± Yin Shaojie said calmly as he watched the petite figure in his arms, his fingers gently caressing her beautiful hair.
After confirming that Mu Xiaoxiao was fine, the man heaved a breath of relief. He couldn¡¯t help but praise how brave and selfless Mu Xiaoxiao was.
¡°Young Master Jie, you are so blessed to have found such a good woman¡¡±
Though Yin Shaojie liked hearing that, his head was still hurting so he hung up the call as he didn¡¯t want to talk anymore.
He lowered his head, held Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face, and kissed her.
But he said sternly, ¡°From now on, you can¡¯t do something like this again.¡±
It was too dangerous after all. What if it was a cliff below and she slipped down?
But Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head pigheadedly in his arms.
If this were to happen again she would still choose toe down.
She couldn¡¯t stay up there and wait helplessly for news. Every second waiting would be torture.
With only the light from the cell phone, Yin Shaojie gazed deeply at her face from the side. His heart filled with warmth and sympathy for her as he pressed his thin lips against her forehead.
Ten minutester, the rescue team and the ambnce arrived together.
Yin Shaojie was feeling much better. Although his head still hurts a little, he didn¡¯t feel anything wrong in his body. But Mu Xiaoxiao insisted that he go to the hospital for an examination. The ambnce staff also said that it was better that he go for a check-up.
Chapter 875 - : She’s a Mu (3)
Chapter 875: She¡¯s a Mu (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
He didn¡¯t know how to reject her, so the two went up the ambnce together.
Feng Shengyang was also rescued. His injury seemed to be more serious than Yin Shaojie. His left arm was numb and couldn¡¯t be moved. His legs were caught in the car, but fortunately the sports car was built study enough that his legs weren¡¯t crushed.
The ambnce staff asked him toy on the stretcher, but Feng Shengyang resisted. He had Feng Tianqi helped him up the ambnce and sit him opposite Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao.
Feng Tianqi said, ¡°Brother, I¡¯ll drive and follow behind the ambnce.¡±
Although the ambnce could amodate the four of them, he couldn¡¯t just leave his car at the mountain, nor did he want others driving his car.
Feng Shengyang nodded and urged him. ¡°You can¡¯t tell anyone in our family that I¡¯m injured, not a single one. Do you hear me?¡±
¡°Alright,¡± Feng Tianqi replied. He jumped down from the ambnce and went to drive his own car.
In the ambnce.
Mu Xiaoxiao was like a clingy kitty as she huddled with Yin Shaojie. She looked at him worriedly and asked, ¡°Do you want to lie down?¡±
¡°No need. I told you it¡¯s not serious.¡± Yin Shaojie pressed her little head against his shoulder, letting her lean on him.
Obviously, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t really believe that he was fine, but she also didn¡¯t know what to do with him.
ming herself, she said, ¡°It¡¯s my fault. I shouldn¡¯t have asked you toe. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t have turned out like this.¡±
He had clearly told her that he didn¡¯t want toe, but she had insisted.
Ruminating over the possibility of not being able to see him again had they been a little less fortunate, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes turned red, and she sniffed through her tingly nose.
¡°You dummy, how can you me yourself for this? No one expected something like this would happen.¡± Yin Shaojie sighed, stroking her head with his big hand so she would stop worrying so much.
Man¡¯s fate was as uncertain as the weather. This ident wasn¡¯t something that they could have predicted.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted gloomily and said, ¡°But if we had stayed at home, nothing would have happened.¡±
¡°Okay, stop thinking this way. If we were to go by your reasoning, then from now onward, should we just stay at home forever then?¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t want her to me herself. There was no use crying over spilled milk.
No one wanted this to happen.
¡°But¡¡±
¡°You¡¯re not allowed to talk anymore. My brain hurts so let me rest for awhile.¡± Though Yin Shaojie sounded bossy saying that, he was also very gentle.
Seeing his furrowed brows, Mu Xiaoxiao stopped talking. She just held his arm tightly and snuggled up to him.
The nurse on the ambnce smiled as she watched the two.
The nurse performed a basic blood pressure test on Yin Shaojie. Upon finishing the test, she joked, ¡°Your girlfriend is worried about you.¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded, indicating that he knew that. Then, he corrected her, saying, ¡°She¡¯s not my girlfriend.¡±
The nurse was stunned. She wasn¡¯t his girlfriend?
The two were so intimate together. How could she not be his girlfriend?
Yin Shaojie squinted at Fei Shengyang, who was sitting across from him, smiling as he said, ¡°She is my fianc¨¦e.¡±
This was actually directed at that guy sitting opposite him.
Feng Shengyang pursed his lips. His expression didn¡¯t change upon hearing that. His eyes were still fixated on Mu Xiaoxiao.
Even the nurse felt that his gaze was weird.
She was someone else¡¯s girlfriend. No, she was someone else¡¯s fianc¨¦e. How could he stare at her like that?

However, Feng Shengyang had always been one to do things his own way. He didn¡¯t care what other people thought about him.
The nurse was a woman in her thirties. She wasn¡¯t one who closely followed the entertainment industry, so she didn¡¯t recognize that he was the hottest celebrity in the industry.
Although she felt that Feng Shengyang¡¯s staring was quite inappropriate, she thought that he might be feeling unwell, so she didn¡¯t ask about it.
The nurse went to sit on the other side to take his blood pressure.
But Feng Shengyang made a gesture, indicating that he didn¡¯t need it.
The nurse said worriedly, ¡°Your injury is more serious, and you have a concussion. We should perform the basic examination first so that when you arrive at the hospital we can proceed with other tests as soon as possible.¡±
Moreover, by doing a basic examination in the ambnce, they could avoid overlooking anything that might put his life in immediate danger on the way to the hospital.
Feng Shengyang didn¡¯t respond to the nurse as he kept staring at Mu Xiaoxiao.
Under normal circumstances, anyone who was being stared at in this manner would at least sense his eyes on them and they might even feel ufortable about it.
But Mu Xiaoxiao seemed oblivious to it. She was focused only on Yin Shaojie and didn¡¯t spare another nce at anything and anyone else, even when Feng Shengyang was also injured.
Yin Shaojie knitted his eyebrows. He red sharply at Feng Shengyang, and he warned him sternly, ¡°Stop staring!¡±
No man would like having another man staring at his woman like that.
If not for Feng Shengyang being more seriously injured than him, and that he was the one who caused them both to fall off the edge when he tried to dodge the child, Yin Shaojie would definitely beat him up.
Feng Shengyang smirked, his eyes finally turning away.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up from Yin Shaojie¡¯s arms. She seemed to have finally noticed Feng Shengyang and she said in a hoarse voice, ¡°Feng Shengyang? Are you okay?¡±
She was only concerned about him now?
Feng Shengyang seemed displeased though he didn¡¯t know why he was feeling that way.
When he was staring at her just now, it seemed as if he had been waiting for her to return a nce. Now that she had finally noticed him, somehow, he wasn¡¯t quite satisfied with it.
The nurse reminded him, saying, ¡°Look at you. Your lips are so pale. You must be feeling pretty bad, right? Why don¡¯t you let me examine you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao went along with the nurse and said, ¡°Feng Shengyang, if you¡¯re feeling unwell, let the nurse examine you. What if it¡¯s something serious?¡±
Staring at her, Feng Shengyang lifted his right hand and extended it to the nurse.
The nurse couldn¡¯t help but look at him and then look back at Mu Xiaoxiao again. She seemed to have figured something out as she shook her head slightly.
This time it was Yin Shaojie who was displeased as he provocatively stared at Feng Shengyang.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s big hand covered Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes as he said, ¡°Close your eyes and rest for now until we get to the hospital.¡±
He didn¡¯t want to see her eyes meeting with Feng Shengyang¡¯s.
Mu Xiaoxiao was exhausted. She nodded feebly before leaning against his arm and closing her eyes.
It was suddenly quiet in the ambnce.
After examining Feng Shengyang, the nurse was going to tell him the result of the examination when Feng Shengyang made a shush gesture.
The nurse looked where he was looking and saw Mu Xiaoxiao with her eyes closed, looking as if she were asleep.
Was he afraid that she might be woken up?
The nurse chuckled helplessly and kept quiet as he intended.
The ambnce was very quiet along the way to the hospital.
Both Yin Shaojie and Feng Shengyang never averted their eyes from Mu Xiaoxiao the whole time.

Fortunately, it was a short journey to the hospital.
When the nurse got out of the ambnce, she was relieved. The mood was really awkward in the ambnce.
Because of Yin Shaojie¡¯s and Feng Shengyang¡¯s special status, they were ced in the VIP ward.
Yin Shaojie underwent a series of tests and confirmed that there was no injury besides a slight concussion. It was rmended that he stayed in the hospital overnight where his condition would be monitored.
¡°I don¡¯t need to be hospitalized. I know I¡¯m fine,¡± Yin Shaojie said, wanting the nurse to go through with the discharge procedures.
It was already veryte. He thought that Mu Xiaoxiao was very tired and he wanted to take her home to rest.
But Mu Xiaoxiao made a straight face and said to him, ¡°Who says you don¡¯t need to be hospitalized? You must be hospitalized! The doctor said the concussion may or may not be serious, so you have to stay the night in the hospital to be monitored. If everything¡¯s fine, then you can be discharged. Can¡¯t you do what you¡¯re told?¡±
With arms akimbo, she said without consulting him, ¡°Alright then. Nurse, you can go through with the hospitalization procedures!¡±
Yin Shaojie could only look at her helplessly. ¡°If I stay in the hospital, what would you do?¡±
He wouldn¡¯t feel at ease letting her go home by herself.
¡°Of course I¡¯ll be staying here with you.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said seriously.
Yin Shaojieughed, ¡°Don¡¯t you hate hospitals? Won¡¯t you feel bad staying overnight in the hospital?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged, ¡°Since you¡¯re here, what other choice do I have but to stay here.¡±
Yin Shaojie reached out his hand to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao walked over to the bed and held his hand.
Seeing the little couple being intimate, the nurse knew what she should do and went out of the ward.
Yin Shaojie looked down at her hand. Her hand was slightly hurt with broken skin. Although ointment was applied, he felt pain when he saw her criss-crossed scars.
Imagining how she must have felt when she was smashing the window with the stone, he felt a gripping pain inside.
¡°It¡¯ste. You must be sleepy, right? Go and sleep.¡± He let go of her and motioned for her to sleep on the bed beside his.
It¡¯s already two in the morning. If she didn¡¯t sleep she would be tired the next day.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and leaned her head on his shoulders.
¡°I want to sleep with you.¡±
Yin Shaojie looked down at her delicate cheek. This wretch was very clingy tonight.
¡°Okay,e up then.¡± He couldn¡¯t refuse her request.
Mu Xiaoxiao took off her shoes, andid on the bed with him, and she pressed her face onto his chest.
Listening to his steady heartbeat, she confirmed that he was alive and was still by her side.
Mu Xiaoxiao finally rxed, and the sleepiness came over her.
She made a big yawn.
Yin Shaojie knew that she was very tired. Holding the back of her head in his big hand, he let hery on him, and in a gentle voice, he said, ¡°Go to sleep.¡±
¡°Yeah¡ you go to sleep too¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s voice was bing unclear, and her eyelids open and close as she tried hard to keep her eyes open with a tiny gap.
Seeing that she was still not going to sleep, heid his hands on her eyelids and forced her to close her eyes.
¡°Go to sleep. Stop opening your eyes.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded in his embrace, her hands wrapped around his waist. She finally closed her eyes peacefully and very quickly fell asleep.
Yin Shaojie looked down at her little face. It was quite dirty. He didn¡¯t even have the time to let her wash her face.
Chapter 878 - She’s a Mu (6)

He knew that she was only worried about him. She didn¡¯t even notice the injury on her hand, much less the dirt on her face. It was a nurse who had noticed the injury.
Though it was a frightening ident, Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t feel any lingering fear as he was only thinking about how much Mu Xiaoxiao cared about him.
This girl had always seemed as if she didn¡¯t understand what it meant for them to have confirmed their feelings for each other. Their interactions seemed the same as before.
But it turned out that there was some change in their interactions after all.
¡
In the other ward.
Feng Shengyang¡¯s concussion was more serious. Not only did it require that he be monitored overnight, but he also needed to be hospitalized for two or three days for the numbness in his left hand and the injury on his leg.
¡°Brother, I bought some food that you like!¡± Feng Tianqi entered the ward, with the food in his hands, he walked over to the bed and put the food on the table.
¡°Hurry up and dig in. Don¡¯t you also need to take medicine?¡±
It was rare to see his brother being so sensible. He actually bought food for him.
However, he said, ¡°I have no appetite. You can eat it yourself.¡±
This guy was quite an idiot to have bought all oily food instead of something milder like porridge or whatnot.
Actually, Feng Tianqi had intended to eat some of the food, like his favorite drumsticks, for himself.
As he gnawed on the drumsticks, he said, ¡°But Brother, don¡¯t you need to take your medicine? Can you take it without food?¡±
Feng Shengyang rolled his eyes at him, ¡°I¡¯ve already taken the medicine. Should I have waited for you?¡±
Feng Tianqi kept quiet, as he munched on his drumsticks. He even had pizza after that, looking as though he were starving.
Feng Shengyang didn¡¯t feel like eating at first, but seeing as how his brother was eating so heartily and how the food¡¯s fragrance was assaulting his nose, he couldn¡¯t help but feel himself salivating.
Feng Shengyang didn¡¯t care about whether it would be bad for his condition or not. After all, the doctor didn¡¯t even tell him to watch his diet.
So he reached for a piece of pizza and ate with his brother.
Feng Tianqi grinned as if he had expected that his brother wouldn¡¯t be able to help himself.
¡°Brother, it¡¯s good, right? I love the pizzas from this restaurant. I even drove quite far to buy it.¡±
So that was why he left his brother alone at the hospital. Feng Shengyang rolled his eyes at him again.
After having that piece of pizza, he didn¡¯t n on eating anymore, so he picked up the wet towel next to him and wiped his hand. He said to Feng Tianqi, ¡°Go back home after you¡¯ve eaten. Remember, don¡¯t tell anyone in the family that I¡¯m hospitalized.¡±
With food still in his mouth, he mumbled, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be careful.¡±
He¡¯d be careful?
How could Feng Shengyang actually believe that, knowing his brother? He didn¡¯t even want to expend the energy in criticizing him.
His head hurt so he put down the pillow andid down.
Feng Tianqi was sitting by the side and eating when he suddenly thought of something, and he asked, ¡°Brother, do you think I should buy some food and bring it to them?¡±
Feng Shengyang turned his eyes to him and asked strangely, ¡°When did you be so thoughtful?¡±
Was he very close with those two? He actually wanted to buy food for them?
This was unlike Feng Tianqi.
Feng Tianqi said, ¡°I just admire the girl. You know, I rarely admire anyone. She is really courageous. I didn¡¯t think about going down the ravine but she dared to venture down to that pitch-ck ce. Wasn¡¯t she afraid of getting herself into danger? No one was as brave as her.¡±

Feng Shengyang didn¡¯t want to listen to this talk. For some reason I irritated him.
¡°Okay, can you shut up? I¡¯m concussed now and need a quiet ce to rest. You should finish your food quickly and go back.¡±
Feng Tianqi didn¡¯t even feel like eating anymore. He put the rest of the food into the bag and threw it into the trash can.
He went to the washroom to wash his hands. Then he came out and asked, ¡°Brother, you must know her name, right? Can you tell me?¡±
¡°What? Are you interested in her?¡± Feng Shengyang raised his eyebrow.
His younger brother, had always been uninterested in girls ever since he was young. He even felt that girls were very troublesome.
But most importantly, Mu Xiaoxiao was his target. How could he let his brother be interested in her?
Feng Tianqi joked, ¡°I just think she would make a pretty good friend. She is very interesting, and she seems like a very loyal person.¡±
He liked making friends, especially with people he liked, and this was definitely something he had inmon with Mu Xiaoxiao.
Resting his head on his hands, Feng Shengyang seemed as if he was thinking about whether he should tell his brother or not.
After a long while, he finally said, ¡°Her name is Mu Xiaoxiao.¡±
But he wouldn¡¯t tell him who Mu Xiaoxiao really was.
Because if he were to say it, Feng Tianqi would only be more interested in Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao¡¡± Feng Tianqi muttered, his dashing face looked amused. ¡°It¡¯s a cute name, very fitting for her! Is she a rich missy also? She doesn¡¯t carry herself like an ordinary girl, and Yin Shaojie seemed very intimate with her.¡±
¡°Yeah,¡± Feng Shengyang gave a curt response.
A thought came to him and he smirked.
He thought, If I were to let you know that she is from that legendary Mu family, you¡¯ll probably be shocked to death, huh?
Come to think of it, it was thanks to Su Lin that he had found out about Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s background.
After all, not many people had contact with the Mu family. Some people even thought that the legendary Mu family probably didn¡¯t even exist or that they had allready declined. Otherwise, how could such a great family keep such a low profile?
Vain people would never understand why some people like to keep a low profile.
Feng Shengyang had learned from very early on about the Mus from his family. His father had been one of the few people who happened to have contact with the Mus. Though the Mus weren¡¯t close with him, his father couldn¡¯t stop praising the Mus after some chance meetings with them.
So when Feng Shengyang learned that Mu Xiaoxiao was one of the Mus, there was an indescribable excitement coursing through his veins.
It was as if someone he had been waiting for had finally appeared.
¡°Then which family is she from?¡± Feng Tianqi probed further.
But Feng Shengyang didn¡¯t want to talk to him. He said irritatedly, ¡°If you are done eating, then hurry up and begone. Or do you want to stay here with me?¡±
Feng Tianqi abruptly got up from the chair. ¡°I don¡¯t want to stay in the hospital!¡±
He particrly hated the smell of hospitals. It would be a huge torment for him to stay and look after him.
¡°Brother, the doctor said that your condition isn¡¯t that serious so you don¡¯t need me to stay with you, right? It¡¯ste and I¡¯m sleepy. I¡¯m going home then! Bye! I¡¯lle see you tomorrow!¡±
Like a puff of smoke, Feng Tianqi quickly left after saying that.

Feng Shengyang shook his head in amusement as he watched him leave.
He retracted his gaze, turning to look at the white ceiling. His mind was somehow picturing a certain someone¡¯s little face followed by the helpless sound of her calling out a certain guy¡¯s name.
Unfortunately, it wasn¡¯t his name that she was calling¡
Feng Shengyang eyes were brooding.
¡
In the luxurious ward, wind blew in through the open curtains, flicking up the curtain¡¯s edge. And the clear sunlight lit up the floor in a golden splendor.
The two people slept sweetly and soundly in each other¡¯s arms.
Just then, the cell phone on the table rang, its noise disturbing their sleep.
Mu Xiaoxiao moved in Yin Shaojie¡¯s arms. Finally, she could not stand it anymore. She opened her eyes slightly and her little hand stretched out to get the cell phone.
But her hand was too short. She couldn¡¯t reach the phone.
Pouting gloomily, Mu Xiaoxiao groaned.
Just then, a long arm went past her, grabbed the cell phone from the table, and stuffed it into her hand.
Yin Shaojie had also woken up. But after taking the cell phone, his body slid down, his hands wrapping around Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s slender waist, and he pressed his elegant face against her chest.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t notice anything fishy with his position, and she looked at the caller ID in a daze.
It was Qiqing.
She answered the phone and her voice was hoarse. ¡°Hey¡¡±
In contrast, Han Qiqing¡¯s voice was particrly sunny and energetic. ¡°Xiaoxiao! You¡¯re not up yet? Aren¡¯t we going to Nanxiang Old Town today? I have already packed my stuff. I¡¯m ready to go out now. I¡¯ll meet you at your condo, okay?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao blinked, and she was finally feeling more awake.
However, because of the stressful eventst night, she felt particrly tired after loosening up.
Even after sleeping, she still felt listless.
She yawned and said to Qiqing, ¡°I¡¯m not at the condo now. Don¡¯te over yet. Where¡¯s Shijun? Is he with you now?¡±
¡°You¡¯re not at the condo? Oh, I know, you¡¯re at the Yin residence, right? No, he is still at home. I just called him and he only just woke up. I don¡¯t care about him. I want to meet up with you first. Should I¡¯ll go to the Yin residence now?¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s voice was as crisp as a bird¡¯s. As she was still in a daze, her voice sounded harsh to her.
She muttered, ¡°Can you speak softly¡ my head hurts.¡±
¡°What¡¯s the matter? Are you not feeling well?¡± Han Qiqing lowered her voice and asked worriedly.
¡°Yeah. I¡¯m feeling a bit unwell.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao sounded gloomy in her reply.
Han Qiqing said, ¡°So are you still going to Nanxiang Old Town? Are you sick again? Why don¡¯t you stay at home to rest instead?¡±
Although she really wanted to go, Xiaoxiao¡¯s health was still more important than that.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s okay. But perhaps we¡¯ll go a littleter. We still have something we need to do. I¡¯ll tell you about itter. You can meet up with Shijun first. I¡¯ll call you againter.¡±
¡°Alright then. But if you are really feeling unwell then don¡¯t be stubborn and it¡¯ll be better for you to take a pass on this trip,¡± Han Qiqing said worriedly.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed. Her friend showing concern for her was making her feel much better.
¡°I¡¯m really fine.¡±
¡°Okay then. I¡¯ll go meet up with Shijun first. I¡¯ll wait for your call, alright?¡±
Chapter 881 - : She’s a Mu (9)

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Yeah.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao hung up the call. She instinctively turned to look at Yin Shaojie, but he was gone.
She looked down and saw a big head buried it in her chest.
¡°Are you feeling better?¡± she asked.
The doctor saidst night that he only had a mild concussion and it wasn¡¯t serious. If after one night there were no symptoms, then he would be as good as normal.
So was this him acting abnormally?
¡°I want to sleep for a while longer¡ but I¡¯m feeling slightly unwell¡¡± A maic voice came from her chest, but his voice was low, so she didn¡¯t hear it very clearly.
But she did hear thest part of what he said.
¡°What did you say? Where are you feeling unwell?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked worriedly.
His arms around her, suddenly his hand snuck up her back.
¡°What are you doing?¡± She looked at his head inexplicably.
Yin Shaojie kept his head at her chest, not looking up, so she couldn¡¯t see his expression but only his face.
¡°If you¡¯re not feeling well we¡¯ll call the doctor¡ Ah!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was trying to persuade him when she felt his hand touching her bra, and then he actually unstrapped it!
What was this guy trying to do!
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly realized something.
However, her reaction was slower as she had only just woken up, so when Yin Shaojie snatched away her bra, she was caught unprepared and could only scream, ¡°What are you doing!¡±
What the heck was he doing?
Why was he suddenly stealing her bra?
Mu Xiaoxiao flushed red. She thought he was acting weird. Could he be under the effects of the concussion?
Yin Shaojie pressed his elegant face against her chest. Now, he was satisfied. ¡°It¡¯s so much morefortable now¡ Don¡¯t talk and sleep with me for a while.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked down and finally understood.
Usually she would sleep without her bra because it wasn¡¯t good sleeping with it on.
But she was too sleepyst night. She couldn¡¯t be bothered about anything so she went to sleep without taking off her bra.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him pressing himself against her chest, his hands wrapping tightly around her, pushing them so came together.
She felt warm fuzzies inside.
In the past, she would definitely have pushed his head away. But when she recalled what happenedst night, how could she bear to do that? What if he still had a concussion? What if something happened if she pushed him?
Mu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to let him rest on her.
However, this bastard seemed to be sleeping pretty soundly.
She wasn¡¯t feeling sofortable with it though. She kept worrying about a nurse or doctor popping in at anytime. What if they saw the bra thrown by the bedside?
Just the thought of it was embarrassing.
Her hands stretched out behind her to get her bra. She wanted to hide the bra under the nket. At least it would not to be seen then.
However, when she stretched back her hand, her chest leaned forward.
The person at her chest suddenly felt restless.
But Mu Xiaoxiao was still unaware. She was only thinking of feeling for her bra and hiding it to prevent awkward scenes from happening.
The pervert¡¯s hand quietly snuck around her waist and caressed her back.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt ticklish and she trembled unconsciously.
¡°Don¡¯t touch me. It¡¯s ticklish¡¡± she grumbled.
Yin Shaojie smirked. Looking up slightly, her chest was right in front of his eyes.

Her shirt cor was messed up because he had been resting his head on her.
It was always easier for men to get aroused in the morning.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s breaths were hot as theynded on the skin of her chest.
Mu Xiaoxiao then realized that her chest was out as though she was offering herself to him, waiting for him to get a taste of her. Her face reddened and she quickly withdrew her hand.
But it was toote. This pervert had already lowered his head and kissed her delicate corbone.
¡°Stop it¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao moaned and hugged his head.
¡°Stop clutching my head. It¡¯ll hurt,¡± Yin Shaojie said.
Mu Xiaoxiao was taken aback and she quickly released her hand.
She wanted to push his head away, but she didn¡¯t dare touch him so she had no choice but to remind him softly, ¡°We¡¯re in the hospital, alright!¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay. It¡¯s still early. They won¡¯te in.¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice was a little husky, maybe because he had just woken up or because he was already aroused.
Feeling the tenseness in her body, he looked up, his eyes like water as he stared at her and tried to persuade her, saying, ¡°Let me kiss you, alright?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was blushing, but she couldn¡¯t bear to reject him.
¡°Just¡ a little kiss?¡±
Yin Shaojie wore a charming smile. He couldn¡¯t help but peck her on her lips.
Reminded that she hadn¡¯t brushed her teeth yet, Mu Xiaoxiao blocked him with her hand. ¡°Don¡¯t kiss.¡±
Yin Shaojie could guess why she was doing that, so he only gave her a peck before shifting himself back to her chest.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t dare to look down. She closed her eyes bashfully, letting him do whatever he wanted.
¡°Rx. Don¡¯t be so tense. This is something that should feel good. It¡¯s not meant to punish you,¡± Yin Shaojie joked.
Just like he said, Mu Xiaoxiao rxed a little and said softly, ¡°I¡¯m afraid that someone wille in¡¡±
She didn¡¯t know whether the door was locked or not and what time the nurse woulde to inspect him.
She couldn¡¯t rx with those worries in mind.
Yin Shaojie looked up at the door lock, but he was also unsure if it was locked.
Although this was a more premium ward where the nurses and doctors would knock before they entered, he didn¡¯t like being interrupted just when he was getting intimate with her.
But¡ Yin Shaojie shifted his gaze back to her breasts that were as tender as snow. He¡¯d hate to let her off like this.
If he couldn¡¯t eat her whole, he could also eat some of her tofu to satisfy some of his hunger.
Mu Xiaoxiao sensed that he had stopped for a moment. She looked down at him, and their eyes met.
She could feel the heat in his eyes.
¡°You¡¡±
She wanted to tell him to hold it in, but seeing the look on his face, she couldn¡¯t bear to tell him that.
¡°Well¡ quickly then¡¡± She blushed as she finally uttered those words.
Yin Shaojie was stunned for a moment. He thought that she would take the chance to escape. He didn¡¯t expect her to say that.
The part of him that wanted to let her off was suddenly filled with passion.
He sighed and said, ¡°You can¡¯t indulge me like this.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was expressing her innocence. He was the one being perverted, and now he was ming her?
¡°Well, you should stop then.¡±
¡°How can I do that?¡± Yin Shaojie disagreed.

His expression was as if he was saying, ¡°Since you¡¯re letting me continue, how can I disappoint you?
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt as though she was smashing a rock on her own foot.
She said helplessly, ¡°Be quick then¡¡±
¡°How can we rush these kind of things? Also, you shouldn¡¯t say ¡®quick¡¯ to a guy, do you understand?¡± Yin Shaojie took the chance to educate her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Should I be telling you to take your time instead?
She looked at him and asked, ¡°Your head isn¡¯t hurting anymore?¡±
¡°It¡¯s only a mild concussion. It¡¯s not serious. I only needed a night¡¯s rest. I told you not to worry about it. I don¡¯t even need to be hospitalized and monitored.¡±
Actually Yin Shaojie was also very happy.
Fortunately, he had driven the modified sports car, which had the best hardware that could withstand heavy collisions.
Otherwise, his current injury would probably have been worse than Feng Shengyang¡¯s.
Mu Xiaoxiao continued to ask, ¡°In other words, you¡¯re okay then? So we can leave the hospital? Aren¡¯t we going to Nanxiang Old Town today? Qiqing called me just now about that.¡±
She looked at the time, and it was already eight o¡¯clock. If they left soon they would reach Nanxiang Old Town at around noon. Actually, they could then meet up with Xiaomeng and the rest there for lunch at noon and walk around after that with more time in the afternoon.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered something.
She asked Yin Shaojie. ¡°Aren¡¯t you meeting with Uncle Su today? How are you going to talk to him in this state? Why not tell him that you¡¯ll meet himter? We¡¯ll go to Nanxiang Old Town first and you can meet with Uncle Su again when we return.¡±
Now that she mentioned it, Yin Shaojie was reminded of the matter. He muttered, ¡°It¡¯s just that he sounded like it was very urgent. I¡¯m not sure if he can wait.¡±
¡°What should we do then? We can¡¯t go after you meet him at noon, right? It¡¯ll be evening already when we reach Nanxiang Old Town.¡± Thinking that Mo Xiaomeng was still waiting for them, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to get there sote.
If they were to go there sote they would have dinner immediately upon arriving and after the Water Lantern Festival the day would feel like it passed too quickly.
After all, Xiaomeng hade to China to find her, so she wanted to go there earlier and spend more time with her. However, she wasn¡¯t being a very good friend, always leaving her in Ye Sijue¡¯s hands.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t want to talk about this topic no. He was feeling the mood earlier, but the mention of this topic killed it.
Knock knock knock! Someone knocked on the door.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. She quickly pushed him away, turned around to find her bra, and she hurriedly ran into the washroom.
Knowing that his hopes for sexy time were dashed, he gritted his teeth angrily and said to the person outside, ¡°Come in.¡±
The doctor came in with the nurse, and he asked warmly. ¡°Young Master Yin, are you feeling better today? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?¡±
Yin Shaojie wanted to say, ¡°If you didn¡¯te to disturb, I would be feeling extremely good.¡±
But he just looked at the doctor and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Can I be discharged?¡±
¡°It¡¯ll be better if we examine you again.¡± The doctor gestured to the nurse, and the nurse walked over and did some basic tests on Yin Shaojie.
After about ten minutes, the tests were done.
¡°Young Master Yin, you don¡¯t look like you have any problems. You can be discharged.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao heard that as she came out of the washroom.

She walked over excitedly and asked the doctor, ¡°He¡¯s alright?¡±
Hearing that, the doctor turned his head and smiled at her. He nodded and said, ¡°He¡¯s fine. Young Master Yin had only mild injuries. We just want to be cautious. Now, it¡¯s confirmed that he¡¯s alright.¡±
The doctor also said that it was all thanks to the sports car¡¯s toughness, otherwise, his life could have been endangered.
A normal car would have been deformed after falling from such a height,pressing the person inside.
After leaving some instructions, the doctor left with the nurse.
Mu Xiaoxiao patted her chest with a sigh of relief, and she said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°So it turns out it¡¯s all thanks to your car. Looks like you didn¡¯t waste that few million yuan.¡±
If a few million yuan could save a life, it was well worth it.
Yin Shaojie chuckled inwardly. The car he drovest night definitely cost more than a few million, but he didn¡¯t feel the need to get into the details.
Shortly, the nurse who processed his discharge from the hospital came over.
Mu Xiaoxiao made a phone call to Qiqing to talk about when to meet.
¡°I¡¯m going out to Shijun¡¯s home now. Why not we meet at his ce? Have you eaten breakfast yet?¡± Han Qiqing asked. She was lounging with her legs up on the sofa, eating fruit.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°I haven¡¯t eaten yet. Alright then, we¡¯ll meet at Shijun¡¯s ce. Tell him to prepare breakfast for us.¡±
¡°Alright then.¡±
After agreeing on the meeting, they hung up the call.
Meanwhile, Yin Shaojie had gone through with the discharge process and he reached out to hold her hand.
¡°Let¡¯s go. Back to the condo first?¡± he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and looked down at herself. Her little face puckered, and she said, ¡°I have to go back to take a bath and pack my stuff.¡±
Since it would be the weekend soon so they could simply stay in Nanxiang Old Town for a few days.
Yin Shaojie nodded. Actually, he was sweaty all over because of what happenedst night, so he really wanted to take a shower.
So the two returned to the apartment.
¡
At Han¡¯s residence.
Han Qiqing was lying on the sofa, propping her legs up. She yed with her iPad and asionally stuffed a fruit into her mouth.
¡°Yeah! Got it!¡± Finally being able toplete the level, she could put down the tablet.
She reached for the cell phone on the coffee table and sent a voice message to Song Shijun.
¡°It has been many five minutes already. Are you up yet? Youzy pig!¡±
Initially, she called Xiaoxiao when she was prepared to set off, but Xiaoxiao said that she wasn¡¯t at the condominium, and Xiaoxiao told her to meet up with Song Shijun first. But Song Shijun was still sleepingzily and refused to get up so he kept asking to sleep for five more minutes.
At her wit¡¯s end, she yed games at home to pass the time.
After one minute of waiting without seeing Song Shijun¡¯s reply, Han Qiqing knew that he must have continued sleeping like a pig.
Han Qiqing sighed. She didn¡¯t know if she should be going out right away.
Why were they all acting like this?
She had gotten up early in the morning and happily packed her luggage but it turned out she shouldn¡¯t have gotten prepared so early.
Ding-Dong. Just then, her cell made a notification sound.
Song Shijun finally replied.
¡°I¡¯m up. I¡¯m up. I¡¯m up now. What did Xiaoxiao say? When are we meeting?¡±
His voice was husky and deep like he had just woken up.
Chapter 885 - Don’t Do That Kind of Thing Too Prematurely (3)
Chapter 885: Don¡¯t Do That Kind of Thing Too Prematurely (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Han Qiqing quickly said to him, ¡°We agreed to meet at your ce. Oh yeah, Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie haven¡¯t eaten breakfast yet. Prepare some breakfast for them.¡±
Song Shijun nced outside the window and said, ¡°Are you sure it¡¯s breakfast and not lunch? It¡¯ll be noon when they reach my ce.¡±
¡°Why no just meet at noon then? We can have lunch at my ce before setting off.¡± Song Shijun yawned andid back to the pillow.
How could she not know what he was trying to do? He must be trying to go back to sleep again.
She howled over the cell phone, ¡°Wake up! Don¡¯t even think about going back to sleep! If you like to sleep so much, why did you decide to go on this trip? We¡¯ll go there without you.¡±
¡°No, don¡¯t leave me alone. I¡¯m up. I¡¯ve really gotten up. So did Xiaoxiao say when they areing to my ce?¡± Song Shijun did a kip-up on the bed and he started to sound more awake.
¡°She didn¡¯t say but it shouldn¡¯t be toote. I¡¯ll go over to your ce now then.¡±
¡°Alright, you cane over.¡±
¡°No more sleeping. If you are still in bed when I get there you better watch out cause I will pour ice water over you, do you hear me?¡± Han Qiqing threatened him.
Song Shijun felt a great urge to retort, saying, ¡°I¡¯m not afraid of some ice water. I used to get drenched in ice water all the time during my time in special training, alright?¡±
However, hearing her threatening tone, he could only say, ¡°Okay. I¡¯m up now. I¡¯m getting off the bed. Is that good enough?¡±
¡°That¡¯s more like it! I¡¯m going out now. See youter.¡±
With that said, Han Qiqing hung up the phone.
¡°Yeah,¡± Song Shijun replied. He didn¡¯t get down from the bed like he told her, but he fell back onto the bed again.
He picked up the cell phone and looked at the time. He estimated that it would probably take about twenty minutes for Han Qiqing to reach his ce.
¡°Another ten minutes of sleep then!¡±
He set the rm clock and covered the nket over his head.
¡
Han Qiqing jumped down from the sofa, washed her hands, and was going to go upstairs to get her luggage.
However, a tall figure came walking down from upstairs.
It was her Brother Iceberg.
Eh? It¡¯s already sote. Why hadn¡¯t he gone to his office yet?
She rarely talked to her brother in the past because she was quite afraid of him. But after thest incident, she felt that he cared about her. So recently, she would even start conversations with him.
¡°Brother, you¡¯re going to the office sote today?¡±
He nodded. His tone seemed tock warmth as usual as he only gave a terse reply, ¡°Yeah.¡±
Han Qiqing asked again, ¡°Have you had breakfast yet?¡±
¡°Not yet.¡± This time, he said two words.
¡°Hurry up and have breakfast then. I¡¯m going upstairs.¡± Han Qiqing said in a crisp and clear voice.
¡°Yeah,¡± he replied with a word again.
Such a miser with words.
Han Qiqing roasted him in her mind then she waved to him before scurrying upstairs.
She went into the room and came out with a backpack.
Because they were only going for two days, and it was the nearby Nanxiang Old Town, there was no need to carry luggage around.
She hummed a song as she skipped downstairs.
Passing by the dining room, she instinctively waved to her Brother.
¡°I¡¯m going out now!¡±
¡°Hold up.¡± The icy voice stopped her.
Han Qiqing stopped in her tracks, and she stared at him puzzled. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±
¡°Where are you going?¡± he asked, his eyes turning to the bag behind her.
Chapter 886 - Don’t Do That Kind of Thing Too Prematurely (4)
Chapter 886: Don¡¯t Do That Kind of Thing Too Prematurely (4)

Han Qiqing was stunned because she hadn¡¯t told her parents that she was going on a trip to Nanxiang Old Town. She was going to call and tell her mother after school ended so that her mother wouldn¡¯t ask if she was skipping sses.
Her eyes rolled around as she tried toe up with a lie, but upon seeing those cold eyes of his, she knew that she wouldn¡¯t be able to fool him.
Her hands holding the shoulder straps, she owned up and said, ¡°I¡¯m going with Xiaoxiao to Nanxiang Old Town. There¡¯s a Water Lantern Festival being held there, right? You know Xiaoxiao has been in America for the past four years. She wanted to take a trip there. So today, we¡¯re¡¡±
She didn¡¯t dare to say that they were skipping sses as she felt the sharpness in his gaze.
However, even without her saying, he already understood her.
Han Qiqing put on a pitiful act, with her palms together, she pleaded with him, saying, ¡°Brother, please don¡¯t tell Pa and Ma, okay? It¡¯s only for today. We¡¯re only skipping sses for one day. It¡¯s not a big deal. It¡¯s not like I won¡¯t be able to catch up with the course, right?¡±
He slowly finished his coffee and stood up. Staring at her with cold eyes, he said, ¡°I¡¯ll send you there.¡±
Han Qiqing stared nkly for a moment, and she suddenly realized what he was saying. Was he approving her skipping sses?
She wanted to cheer and scream, but upon considering that she shouldn¡¯t get too carried away she swallowed her excitement.
Of course, she didn¡¯t refuse his offer to send her although she seemed to have not received such treatment from him before.
But then again, Song¡¯s residence and his office seemed to be on a simr route.
Han Qiqing looked at the coffee on the table and said, ¡°You¡¯re only having coffee? Aren¡¯t you going to have breakfast?¡±
¡°No time,¡± he said tepidly. Then he took the zer from the helper, put it on, and went out.
Han Qiqing followed behind him, and said earnestly, ¡°How can you not eat anything for breakfast? And it¡¯s not good to have coffee with an empty stomach, right?¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine.¡±
Of course, Han Qiqing knew that she couldn¡¯t persuade him, but she still had to get it off her chest.
¡°If there¡¯s still time, you should still have a little breakfast. Otherwise, it¡¯ll really be bad for your body in the long run.¡±
¡°Yeah.¡±
Han Qiqing followed behind him as they went out.
Outside the gate, the family¡¯s car was already waiting for them.
Watching the twoe out together, the chauffeur broke out in an odd expression which he quickly hid away.
The chauffeur pulled open the door for her.
Han Qiqing was busy talking and forgot to lower her head and she almost hit her head against the door. Fortunately, a palm appeared in time to protect her forehead from the bump.
The chauffeur was shocked and bent at his waist to apologize, ¡°Sorry. Miss, I¡¯m sorry. Young master, I¡¯m sorry.¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay. It¡¯s no big deal.¡± Han Qiqing thought that it was her fault, but when she nced at her brother his expression seemed cold.
She quickly said to him, ¡°I¡¯m fine, really. Don¡¯t me him.¡±
¡°Get in,¡± he uttered, but his hand was still on the door.
Han Qiqing nodded and got in the car.
The chauffeur was still apologizing, ¡°I¡¯m sorry Young Master. I¡¯ll be more careful next time.¡±
Actually, this was not a mistake that he should be making.
Just being red at by the young master felt like it had frozen his heart.
Han Qiqing was worried that he would rebuke the chauffeur, so she poked out her little head and said, ¡°Brother, get in. Aren¡¯t you rushing to the office?¡±
Chapter 887 - Don’t Do That Kind of Thing Too Prematurely (5)
Chapter 887: Don¡¯t Do That Kind of Thing Too Prematurely (5)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Without saying anything, he bent over and got in the car.
The chauffeur wiped away his cold sweat.
The car drove off from the Han family mansion, and the chauffeur asked deferentially, ¡°Young Master, are we going to the office?¡±
The chauffeur also heard what the Miss had said earlier, but he still asked like he usually did.
However, the young master said another address instead.
Han Qiqing was stunned. Wasn¡¯t that Xiaoxiao¡¯s condominium?
She knew that he had misunderstood and quickly corrected him, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t go to Xiaoxiao¡¯s ce, we are meeting at Shijun¡¯s ce.¡±
He looked at her before saying to the chauffeur, ¡°Go to the Song¡¯s residence.¡±
¡°Understood, Young Master,¡± the chauffeur replied.
Han Qiqing then thought something was odd as her gaze unconsciously turned toward her brother.
Didn¡¯t he say that he had no time?
Xiaoxiao¡¯s condominium was clearly in the other direction. If he was rushing to his office, why would he want to send her there?
Perhaps it was because she was staring at him too obviously, but he turned and met her eyes, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±
Han Qiqing snapped out of it, shook her head and said, ¡°Nothing.¡±
She suddenly thought of something and she asked, ¡°Did you sleep verytest night? Were you very busy with work?¡±
She remembered that when she got out of bed in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, she noticed the light in the study was still on.
It was around¡ two or three o¡¯clock in the morning?
No wonder he drank coffee first thing in the morning. Who knows what time he slept?
No, wait. Did he even sleep?
Sometimes, Han Qiqing was amazed at how her Brother Iceberg was just like Superman. It seemed like he didn¡¯t even need to eat or sleep.
And he was still so effective at work.
She remembered hearing her father say that ever since her brother had taken over the family business, he had made dazzling improvements to thepany.
She remembered that her father used to get worried about work. But after her brother took over thepany her father didn¡¯t get as worried anymore.
¡°Yeah,¡± he answered in a terse manner again.
Han Qiqing looked at him worriedly. ¡°Brother, will your body be able to take it? Actually, our family business is already doing very well. You can take it easy. We don¡¯t have to expand too quickly.¡±
His eyes focused on her and he reached out to ruffle her hair and say, ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡±
For some reason, Han Qiqing felt like he was hiding something from her.
¡°Thepany¡ is not facing any problems, is it?¡±
Otherwise, as the chairman of thepany, he didn¡¯t need to be so busy, right?
Typically, wouldn¡¯t the highest management in thepany delegate the jobs to those at the lower rungs?
Of course, Han Qiqing didn¡¯t really know much about running a business, but that was what she read on the Inte, and wasn¡¯t this how novels always describe them to be? The male protagonist, a chairman, would simply give orders to his subordinates to handle stuff.
Or was it different from how things worked in reality?
Han Qiqing suddenly thought that after her brother had taken over thepany, her father had rarely dealt with the family¡¯s business. Her father had practically given the wholepany for her brother to manage, but recently her father had been going to the office on quite a few asions.
Could thepany really be facing some problems?
The more she thought, the more she felt something was amiss. The thought of thepany facing bankruptcy just like in the novels quickly struck her.
Suddenly, a hand stretched out to her and kneaded her brows.
¡°Stop imagining things,¡± the cold voice said beside her ear.
Han Qiqing realized that her brows were puckered up as she was lost in her wild imaginations.
She looked into his eyes and asked, ¡°Is thepany really okay?¡±
He raised his eyebrows and suddenly reached out to knock her on the forehead. ¡°I told you. Stop imagining things.¡±

Han Qiqing pouted. ¡°Alright.¡±
Their home wasn¡¯t far from the Song¡¯s residence, so it only took a short while before they arrived.
Han Qiqing said goodbye to her brother and got out of the car. Someone from behind tapped her shoulder.
She was shocked. ¡°Who¡¯s that!¡±
Song Shijun smiled mischievously, as his handsome face popped up in front of her.
Panting with rage, Han Qiqing flung her fist at him.
¡°I came out to receive you, and you¡¯re beating me? Han Qiqing, do you still have a conscience?¡± Song Shijun said as he dodged her little fist.
¡°Who asked you to scare me! You¡¯re asking for a beating!¡±
Han Qiqing showed no mercy as her little fist pounded on his head.
¡°Ow, not the head! What if I go retarded? Are you gonna take care of me forever?¡±
¡°Why do I have to take care of you? I¡¯ll take care of dogs and pigs before I take care of you! Humph!¡±
Song Shijun was displeased. ¡°What do you mean by that? I¡¯m less than dogs and pigs?¡±
Her arms akimbo, Han Qiqing chuckled and said, ¡°That¡¯s exactly what I meant!¡±
¡°Han Qiqing, you¡¯re too much!¡±
Would they still be able to get along if she said that to him?
¡°That¡¯s how much I am. What? Are you gonna bite me?¡± Han Qiqing stuck out her tongue.
¡°Okay, I¡¯ll bite you!¡± Song Shijun suddenly grabbed her shoulders with both hands, his eyes narrowed dangerously as he pretended to lower his head¡
At that moment, he became keenly aware of frightening, cold eyes ring at him.
Song Shijun paused for a moment and he quickly found out where that re wasing from.
Just when he was wondering who it was, he exchanged looks with that person in the car.
Recognizing that it was Han Qiqing¡¯s brother, Song Shijun quickly retracted his hand, showed him a fawning smile and greeted him.
He nudged Han Qiqing with his elbow, and heined to her without moving his lips. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say that your brother sent you here?¡±
Not everyone could withstand the re of her Brother Iceberg.
Han Qiqing batted her eyes innocently. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you?¡±
Song Shijun gritted his teeth. ¡°No, you didn¡¯t!¡±
Han Qiqing chuckled. ¡°I forgot. Serves you right for bullying me.¡±
It seemed like the first time she had felt her brother protecting her, so no one would dare to make her unhappy.
She turned around and said to her brother, ¡°You¡¯re rushing to the office, right? You can go now. Remember to get the assistant to buy some food for you.¡±
He gave her a faint nod of the head, his icy gaze turned toward Song Shijun again before he told the chauffeur to drive off.
When the Bentley left, Song Shijun finally felt the pressure lift.
Putting his hand on Han Qiqing¡¯s shoulder, he curiously asked, ¡°You brother actually sent you? When did you be so¡ close?¡±
¡°Get lost! We¡¯ve always had a good rtionship!¡± Han Qiqing elbowed him.
Song Shijun tutted. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t have believed that in the past, but now¡ a little. Speaking of which, he doesn¡¯t have a sisterplex does he?¡±
¡°Sisterplex, my ass!¡± Han Qiqing hit him again.
¡°I was just guessing. Why do you have to hit me? Han Qiqing, can you be any rougher?¡± Song Shijun expressed his displeasure.
Han Qiqing looked out and shouted, ¡°Hey! Brother, why are you back?¡±
Song Shijun was startled, and he turned to look.
No one was there. He knew he was tricked by this wretch.
Han Qiqing was amused upon seeing his reaction, ¡°Haha!¡±
Song Shijun rolled his eyes at her. ¡°Is that fun?¡±

¡°It is fun!¡± Han Qiqing nodded.
Song Shijun clenched his fist, and jabbed it right in front of her face. Han Qiqing was startled as he reflexively shrunk back her neck.
¡°Is that fun?¡± It was Han Qiqing¡¯s turn to re at him.
¡°It is fun.¡± Song Shijun used her words to annoy her.
¡°Bastard!¡± Han Qiqing lifted her foot and held up her bag in a pose, threatening to kick him.
Song Shijun rushed into the house. ¡°I shouldn¡¯t havee out to receive you. How thankless!¡±
¡°You came out to annoy me!¡± Han Qiqing chased him.
However, Song Shijun had long legs. Although Han Qiqing wasn¡¯t short for a girl she was still shortpared to Song Shijun and it was hard to catch up to him.
Chasing him up to the main door, Han Qiqing changed her attitude immediately, losing the tomboyish behavior as she smiled sweetly.
¡°Pretentious!¡± Song Shijun roasted her.
Han Qiqing red at him. ¡°This is called being courteous to the elders.¡±
The helper opened the door for them, bowed and greeted Han Qiqing, ¡°Miss Qiqing.¡±
Mama Song, who was busy in the kitchen, immediately wiped her hand dry and went to the door. Seeing Han Qiqing, she smiled and walked up to her. ¡°Qiqing, you¡¯re here?¡±
Han Qiqing smiled pleasantly, holding her hands before her in adylike manner she bowed and said, ¡°Auntie Song, good morning!¡±
¡°Qiqing,e here and let me have a good look at you. I haven¡¯t seen you for several months, have I? You¡¯re really bing more and more beautiful. Looking so slender and elegant, you must have lots of boys chasing you in school, right? Have you gotten a boyfriend?¡± Mama Song asked her many questions as she warmly waved her hands at her.
Han Qiqing was a little embarrassed. Why was she suddenly asking about whether she got a boyfriend?
But she went up to Mama Song and held her arms lovingly, ¡°No, I haven¡¯t. Since we¡¯re still students our priority is to study. It¡¯s no rush for me to find a boyfriend.¡±
Mama Song smiled and patted her hand. ¡°Qiqing, you¡¯re such a good girl unlike other girls who started having boyfriends even in middle school. I have a close friend whose son actually has a girlfriend in elementary school. I say, our society is bing less conservative than it used to be.¡±
Han Qiqing apanied Mama Song as they walked over the sofa to sit down, and she gave her opinion. ¡°Well, times are changing. Dating in elementary school is a bit too early. Dating in middle school is still fine as long as it doesn¡¯t affect their studies.¡±
¡°You¡¯re right. Actually, Auntie isn¡¯t so old-fashioned. It¡¯s good to date someone at your age. The passion with which you date someone is pure when you¡¯re younger. When you¡¯re older, it¡¯ll feel different.¡± Mama Song said ass she shot a nce at Song Shijun.
Song Shijun, who had been neglected for a moment, crossed his hands behind his head as he stood at one side. Noticing his mother¡¯s meaningful nce, Song Shijun was unsure whether tough or cry.
He quickly shifted the topic and said, ¡°Ma, aren¡¯t you cooking something good in the kitchen? Are you done already?¡±
Mama Song was suddenly reminded and she stood up quickly. ¡°Qiqing, Auntie heard that you wereing so I cooked some bird¡¯s nest. It¡¯s especially nourishing for girls. You should have more of it.¡±
Han Qiqing smiled gently. ¡°Yeah, thanks Auntie!¡±
¡°Wait here while I go check the kitchen.¡± Mama Song walked to the kitchen and gestured to Song Shijun with a nce.

Song Shijun sighed as he walked over and sat beside Han Qiqing. Leaning his neck back onto the sofa, he said to her, ¡°Don¡¯t take what she said too seriously. Recently, she hasn¡¯t been¡ quite normal.¡±
Han Qiqing raised her hand in a pose, threatening to hit him. But since she was in his house, she only did it to scare him.
She rolled her eyes at him. ¡°How can you say that about your mom? You unfilial son!¡±
¡°Why do you sound like my mom?¡± Song Shijun gasped as he leaned further back on the sofa.
Han Qiqing pushed him. ¡°Am I wrong? What kind of son says that his mother is not normal?¡±
Song Shijun sat up straight, sighed and said. ¡°Actually¡ it¡¯s my fault.¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Han Qiqing thought his expression looked a bit dramatic, she was immediately intrigued.
Looking over to where his mother was, Song Shijun leaned his elegant face closer to Han Qiqing and said quietly, ¡°Because I have been hanging out with a bro recently and he stayed for a few days at my house so my mom thought¡¡±
Poooof! Han Qiqing almost spat out saliva, but fortunately covered her mouth in time, or it would have been ugly.
Her eyes were in crescents as she asked quietly, ¡°So, your mom was afraid that you may be¡ gay? Hahahahaha!¡±
Seeing herughing so impetuously, Song Shijun snorted and said, ¡°It¡¯s all your fault!¡±
¡°My fault? What has it got to do with me?¡± Han Qiqing pointed to herself looking dumbfounded.
Seeing that his mother wasing, Song Shijun turned to her and roasted her. ¡°Because¡ you¡¯re stupid!¡±
¡°Hey!¡± Han Qiqing raised her hand in a striking stance when she heard Mama Song saying, ¡°What are you guys talking about, looking so happy?¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s hand paused for a moment, and she let it down and scratched her neck.
¡°It¡¯s nothing, Shijun was telling me a joke.¡±
Mama Song came over with a te and ced it on the coffee table. Looking interested, she asked, ¡°What joke? Let me hear it.¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s eyes darted craftily as she lied through her teeth.
¡°Shijun was saying that¡ he used to fancy a girl because she had fair skin and slender legs, and only when he got to know her more, he found out that she was a¡¡±
Guy!
Before she could finish her sentence, Song Shijun seemed to have expected what nonsense she was going to spout, so he quickly went up to stopper her mouth.
¡°That girl had gone through stic surgery!¡± he replied wittily.
Upon hearing of stic surgery, Mama Song frowned and shook her head, saying, ¡°stic surgery is bad. Although the technology in stic surgery is quite advanced now, it is still risky and their genes will still affect their children next time.¡±
Song Shijun concurred, looking as though he was very serious. ¡°Exactly, so I don¡¯t like stic surgery. I prefer it natural.¡±
As Song Shijun covered her mouth, Han Qiqing could only let out muffled screams. Finally, she pried open his hand and bit down on his purlicue.
¡°Sss!¡± Song Shijun withdrew his hand painfully and red at her. ¡°Why did you bite me!¡±
¡°You were covering my mouth! Can¡¯t we have a polite conversation?¡± Han Qiqing red back ruthlessly at him.
Seeing them looking yful, Mama Song¡¯s gentle eyes looked amused.
¡°So, a good, pretty girl like Qiqing is hard to find nowadays, right?

Moreover, Qiqing had a good personality and was well-liked with elders. She seemed like a good girl from every perspective.
Song Shijun deliberately pulled the rug from under Han Qiqing as he stared disdainfully at her. ¡°She¡¯s pretty? I think Xiaoxiao is prettier! Oh yeah, and there¡¯s that good friend of Xiaoxiao¡¯s, Xiaomeng. Mom, you should have seen her. She¡¯s mixed and she looks just like a doll. She¡¯s really pretty!¡±
Mama Song tutted and rebuked him, ¡°How can you say that about Qiqing? Qiqing is very pretty! Of course, Xiaoxiao is also very pretty. As for Xiaoxiao¡¯s friend that you mentioned, I haven¡¯t seen her before, but I don¡¯t like mixed girls very much. I still prefer pure Chinese. Foreigners aren¡¯t as good-looking as our Chinese.¡±
¡°Auntie, you¡¯re the best.¡± Han Qiqing held Mama Song¡¯s arm, snuggled up to her, andined, saying, ¡°Shijun always say that I¡¯m ugly. He¡¯s so irritating. Auntie, you have to help me teach him a lesson. How can he say that about a girl?¡±
Mama Song hugged her as she joked, ¡°Ah Jun is just saying that, but that¡¯s not what he really feels.¡±
Han Qiqing nodded seriously, ¡°I think so too. He is just jealous that I look better than him!¡±
Song Shijun couldn¡¯t stand listening to her anymore, and he shook his head helplessly. ¡°Ma, why are you siding with her? Are you still my Ma? Why does it feel like it is Qiqing who is your child?¡±
¡°I¡¯ve watched Qiqing grow up over the years. Qiqing is almost like a daughter to me.¡± Mama Song smiled lovingly.
Han Qiqing leaned her little face over to Mama Song and said, ¡°Daughter? We¡¯re obviously sisters. If Auntie walks on the streets with me, other people will definitely mistake us for sisters.¡±
¡°You¡¯re so sweet.¡± Mama Songughed happily as she held Han Qiqing¡¯s hand very affectionately.
Song Shijun gave Qiqing a thumbs up.
After about an hour of waiting at Song residence, Mu Xiaoxiao finally arrived.
Han Qiqing came out to receive her, however, she was her alone. Han Qiqing asked curiously, ¡°Where¡¯s Yin Shaojie? Why are you here by yourself?¡±
¡°He still has some business to attend to and he told us to go first. He will go overter tonight,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao exined as she dragged her suitcase and walked over with her.
Initially they had nned for Yin Shaojie to meet Uncle Su after they returned from Nanxiang Old Town.
However, right after they showered back in their apartment and were about to head out, they got a call from Uncle Su.
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t ignore him, so he told her to head over the Song residence first. He would meet up with them at Nanxiang Old Town after meeting with Uncle Su.
In the house.
Song Shijun went into his room to pack his luggage when his mother came in.
¡°Ma, you don¡¯t need to help. It¡¯s just a trip for a day or two. There¡¯s no need to bring too many things.¡± He thought that his mother had came in to help him pack up.
However, his mother tugged his hand and said to him, ¡°So what¡¯s the situation now with you and Qiqing? When did you two start dating?¡±
Song Shijun was unsure whether tough or cry. ¡°Who said anything about dating? Stop driveling!¡±
Mama Song grumbled, ¡°Can¡¯t you make good use of this chance? Qiqing is such a nice girl. She¡¯s pretty and has a good personality and her body is still developing, so she¡¯ll look better in the future.¡±
This wasn¡¯t the first time Song Shijun had listened to this talk. He was already quite immune to it.
So he decided to turn a deaf ear and continued picking clothes from the closet.

Mama Song continued saying, ¡°Since you are going on a trip to Nanxiang Old Town, you have to make good use of this chance. With that said, I don¡¯t think you guys should do¡ those kinds of things too prematurely! Alright? As a guy, you need to know how to protect girls. You can¡¯t just be thinking about¡¡±
Song Shijun was stunned. He totally didn¡¯t expect his mother to say this.
Embarrassed, even his ears were red. ¡°Ma, stop going on about this drivel!¡±
¡°Geez, Ma, stop rushing me. You just have to go with the flow with these kind of things! Right? Okay, okay, stop disturbing me while I¡¯m packing up. Isn¡¯t Xiaoxiao here already? You should go and entertain our guests.¡±
Song Shijun pushed his mother out of the room and closed the door.
Mama Song still wouldn¡¯t give up, and she said behind the door, ¡°You always act like this whenever I talk to you about serious stuff.¡±
¡°Ma, you can¡¯t just leave the guests downstairs, right? Go and entertain them!¡±
Mama Song clicked her tongue at the door, and she grudgingly went downstairs.
¡
In an inn at Nanxiang Old Town..
Bright rays shone in through the windows and lit up the wooden floor with a golden glow.
Mo Xiaomeng was lying on the bed as she slowly woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw the clear sunshine outside as though it could cleanse away all the dust and it felt very peaceful.
She stretched herself and felt a little hungry. Thinking of the delicacies at the old town, she couldn¡¯t help but lick her lips.
Just as she was about to get up, she suddenly felt a force grab her slender waist and pull her back.
¡°Ah!¡± Mo Xiaomeng was startled.
Then, she felt warmth from behind her ears, and a deep maic voice said beside her ear. ¡°It¡¯s me. Don¡¯t be scared.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng stopped when she heard the voice. Looking back and seeing that it was Ye Sijue, she heaved a breath of relief.
She grumbled, ¡°Why are you scaring me?¡±
She suddenly found something odd and eximed, ¡°Why are you in bed? Aren¡¯t you¡¡±
Wasn¡¯t he sleeping on the sofa?
Why had he gotten onto the bed?
¡°The sofa is very hard¡ I can¡¯t sleep.¡± Ye Sijue sounded naughty. His arms tightened around her, pressing her back against his chest.
¡°It¡¯s still early. Let¡¯s sleep for a while more.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng could feel his warm body against her back and the strong thumping of his heart.
Her face was flushed red, and she muttered. ¡°Early? It¡¯s not early now.¡±
To put it bluntly, he was trying to stay in bed.
To put it even more bluntly, he wanted to stay in bed with her.
Mo Xiaomeng was a goody two shoes. She would always keep her sleeping schedule. She wouldn¡¯t stay in bedter than usual in the morning like Mu Xiaoxiao. When she woke up, she typically wouldn¡¯t want to go back to sleep again.
Moreover¡ she was quite hungry now.
She tried to get rid of his hand and said softly, ¡°Let go. Let me get up.¡±
Ye Sijue¡¯s arm didn¡¯t even budge. It was as if a pair of iron pincers were holding her waist.
¡°What are you doing?¡± His voice sounded husky like he had just woken up, but there was also some sexiness to it.
She didn¡¯t know if he was doing it purposely as he talked to her right beside her ear.
His subwoofer-like voice was making her heart race.
Honestly, to be able to listen to such a pleasant voice upon waking up in the morning was really¡ particrly pleasurable.
She pressed her lips together and said, ¡°I¡¯m quite hungry.¡±
¡°Hungry?¡± Hearing that, Ye Sijue slightly rxed his grip on her.

Mo Xiaomeng thought that he was going to let go of her, however, a big hand touched the skin of her belly.
Her delicate and soft belly felt so good that Ye Sijue couldn¡¯t bear to part his hands with it.
¡°Hey, what are you doing!¡± Mo Xiaomeng protested softly, her delicate little face looking shy and annoyed, feeling as if he was treating her like a toy.
What was the meaning of him caressing her belly like this!
¡°I¡¯m checking if you are really hungry.¡± Ye Sijue said with a straight face as his hand caressed her belly.
Feeling ticklish, Mo Xiaomeng wriggled on the bed. ¡°Stop touching! Hahahaha! It¡¯s ticklish! Stop touching my belly!¡±
¡°This is ticklish? What about this?¡± Ye Sijue shifted his hands, his warms palms slowly feeling upward.
Mo Xiaomeng could only feel as if an electric current traveled through the skin of her chest. She quickly stopped his hands, and with a red face, she protested. ¡°Where are you trying to touch me?¡±
Why was he acting like this? He was getting naughtier and naughtier with his hands.
¡°I¡¯m really hungry. Let me go eat, alright?¡± she pleaded to him in a lower voice.
Ye Sijue liked listening to her soft voice. It was as if she was being coquettish with him
¡°Give me a kiss first, then I¡¯ll make a call for you and ask the inn to prepare breakfast for us.¡±
They were living in the best inn in Nanxiang Old Town. It was as good as a five-star hotel. It was called an inn because it was located in the old town.
Not only was the inn vintage, it also offered five-star services.
There were two restaurants in the inn. They only need to make a call to the service desk order meals, and the inn would send the meal as soon as possible to ensure that their guests would have a pleasant dining experience.
Ye Sijue turned Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s body over and the two faced each other.
The golden rays of light shone in. As the curtains were left slightly open, rings of light were cast on Ye Sijue¡¯s devilishly elegant face.
Mo Xiaomeng had always thought that he was very handsome. But in that moment, his fine, crisp hair made for quite a messy and more of a boyish look than usual, stirring her.
¡°You¡¡± How could you be so good-looking?
Unaware of her own actions, Mo Xiaomeng touched his cheek, as if tracing his facial features.
She remembered a time during a sketching ss in school the teacher got a good-looking boy to be the model and the Caucasian students all had well-defined facial features. Since they were sketching portraits, the models¡¯ facial features were carefully scrutinized.
But she felt that the Ye Sijue¡¯s facial features looked even better than those of the handsome models. He was so good-looking that she wanted to hide him and not share him with anyone else.
Ye Sijue liked the way she was looking at him. He was also not in a hurry to kiss her as he let her touch his face however she wanted.
Actually, he didn¡¯t like other people touching him like this.
But the strange thing was that he enjoyed it when she was touching him.
Her little hands were fair and slender. Her every finger was like an exquisite art piece. Her hand went from his fine-looking eyebrows to his eyes, then to his high-bridged nose, to his sexy thin lips¡
When her little hand reached his lips, Ye Sijue didn¡¯t restrain himself as he instinctively took her finger into his mouth.

Mo Xiaomeng froze for a moment and her face reddened.
The corner of his mouth turned up in a smile as Ye Sijue gazed at her beguilingly. His warm, soft tongue entwined with her finger as though he were tasting a delicacy as he slowly licked and sucked on her fingers.
Mo Xiaomeng never knew that her fingers were so weak to tickles.
The fingers were naturally sensitive parts of the body, so she could clearly feel the warmth and softness of his tongue.
Her hand quivered, and she instinctively tried to pull out her finger.
Ye Sijue didn¡¯t stop her. When she pulled out her finger, hisrge hand reached out, clutched her little head, and pressed her toward him.
His lips rested on her cherry lips.
Two pretty pairs of lips came together.
Unhurriedly, he started with a slow caress, as though showering her with affection.
The clear morning sunshine made everything so beautiful so Mo Xiaomeng didn¡¯t put up any resistance and only relished it.
As he kissed her, his hot tongue drove itself into her little mouth, pried open her teeth, and ventured deeper¡
¡°Ungh uh¡¡± Mo Xiaomeng trembled sensitively and moaned.
Ye Sijue¡¯s gaze deepened as his clutched her slender waist firmly, pressing her even closer to him.
When his hand was about to sneak under her shirt¡
Suddenly, someone noisily smacked on the door and shouted, ¡°Fire! Fire! Open the door! Fire! Come out now, if not you¡¯ll die! Come out quickly! There¡¯s a fire!¡±
The two on the bed immediately paused.
Mo Xiaomeng opened her eyes. At first, she didn¡¯t catch what that person was saying. But when she heard it she began to panic.
¡°Fire?¡±
On the other hand, Ye Sijue was very calm, apparently not even a little worried about what was happening. He even pulled her back as she tried to get up. ¡°There¡¯s no fire. She¡¯s bluffing.¡±
¡°But¡¡± Mo Xiaomeng looked outside, puzzled.
That woman outside was still shouting and screaming her lungs out.
If there wasn¡¯t a fire, why would she be shouting so loudly?
Since the inn was built from wood, the sound instion was rtively less effective and so it was hard not to hear her when she was shouting so loudly.
Mo Xiaomeng was still worried as she tried to get up. ¡°I think we should go out and check it out. What if there¡¯s really a fire?¡±
She looked around the room worriedly. The room was all made of wood. If there was really a fire, how would they escape safely?
Just then, the noise outside grew louder.
Because that person was shouting fire, the guests heard it and came out. It seemed as though he was quarreling with that woman.
¡°You¡¯re crazy! There¡¯s no fire? What in the world were you shouting for!¡±
¡°Fire! Fire! Fire!¡± The woman continued shouting herself hoarse and smacking on the door, ignoring the guest.
Even Mo Xiaomeng thought it was strange.
¡°Why is she only pping on our door?¡±
This was an inn that hadprehensive range of facilities. If there was a fire, there should be a public notice. They wouldn¡¯t need to resort to using people to shout and inform the guests of fire, would they? If they were to go to every room and shout like that, the fire would have burnt down most of the inn already.
Ye Sijue frowned. He looked annoyed as he said, ¡°It¡¯s a troublesome person.¡±
¡°Is she someone you know?¡± Mo Xiaomeng guessed.
¡°Yeah,¡± Ye Sijue replied. He knew that they wouldn¡¯t be able to continue making out anymore.

They couldn¡¯t just let the person outside continue shouting like that, could they?
Not only was it disturbing them, it was also disturbing the other guests.
Ye Sijue let go of Mo Xiaomeng, pulled her up, and the two walked to the door together.
They opened the door.
Caught off guard, the person outside fell forward. But Ye Sijue, who was standing in front, didn¡¯t catch her, and simply allowed her to fall t on her face in front of them both.
Yang Zixuan groaned, only realizing then that the door was opened. She instinctively tried to get up, but when she looked up and saw Ye Sijue¡¯s legs, she remained t on the ground.
¡°Boohoo, Brother Sijue¡¡± she cried, sounding very pitiful.
Mo Xiaomeng looked at the girl before her in astonishment. She didn¡¯t expect it to be her. Mo Xiaomeng remembered seeing her at the Ye residence.
No wonder Ye Sijue didn¡¯t panic upon hearing her.
Apparently, he had recognized Yang Zixuan¡¯s voice and knew that she was bluffing.
However¡
Mo Xiaomeng asked inexplicably. ¡°Why did you lie about the fire? Don¡¯t you know that this is not very nice? What if someone hears you and really believed that there was a fire?¡±
She thought that this girl was too willful. How could she mislead people like that?
If other guests had heard her it would definitely scare them.
Yang Zixuan said unhappily, ¡°It¡¯s none of your business! You¡¯re not my mother!¡±
Mo Xiaomeng frowned. ¡°Must I be your mother to correct you when you¡¯re wrong? You¡¯re disturbing other guests and you disturbed us too.¡±
Yang Zixuan snorted at her obstinately. But when she turned to face Ye Sijue, she gave him a pitiful look.
¡°Brother Sijue¡ it hurts¡¡±
She had already hinted so clearly. Why wasn¡¯t he helping her up?
Yang Zixuan didn¡¯t get the response she wanted and she grew resentful.
And she med all of her resentment on Mo Xiaomeng. If it wasn¡¯t for this woman seducing her Brother Sijue he wouldn¡¯t be so unfeeling toward her!
¡°Boohoo, Brother Sijue, I can¡¯t get up. Can you help me up?¡±
Finally, she asked straightforwardly.
He couldn¡¯t ignore her now, would he?
Sure enough, a hand reached out to Yang Zixuan. In a moment¡¯s excitement, she didn¡¯t realize that it was a thin hand that didn¡¯t look like a man¡¯s hand at all.
She grabbed that hand gleefully, and as she got up, she threw herself onto Ye Sijue.
However, she was looking at Mo Xiaomeng instead.
Ye Sijue didn¡¯t even budge. It was Mo Xiaomeng who couldn¡¯t stand watching her and reached out her hand to help her as she thought she was quite pitiful.
Mo Xiaomeng was still asking her worriedly, ¡°Are you okay?¡±
Yang Zixuan angrily flung her hand away and scoffed, ¡°Who said you could touch me! Get lost!¡±
Petite and unguarded, Mo Xiaomeng stumbled backward from the force and almost fell.
Fortunately, Ye Sijue¡¯s long arm safely caught her by her waist.
Watching as Ye Sijue held her, Yang Zixuan fumed with rage.
¡°Slut!¡± she cussed inwardly.
Ye Sijue pulled Mo Xiaomeng away from Yang Zixuan, and he looked at Yang Zixuan and said, ¡°Why are you here?¡±
There were other guests unhappy with Yang Zixuan¡¯s screaming and cursing outside.
The inn¡¯s manager came and was updated on the situation. But seeing as Yang Zixuan and Ye Sijue seemed to know each other, it didn¡¯t seem appropriate to rebuke her.
Chapter 896 - Applying Ointment on the Shameful Area (4)
Chapter 896: Applying Ointment on the Shameful Area (4)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Ye Sijue said to him, ¡°Sorry, it¡¯s our fault.¡±
The inn manager quickly said, ¡°It¡¯s alright. It¡¯s only a misunderstanding. I¡¯ll answer to the other guests, however¡¡±
Ye Sijue nodded. ¡°This won¡¯t happen again.¡±
The inn manager was very grateful for his understanding and he even closed the door as he went out.
There were three people left in the room.
After the inn manager went to cate the guests, the guests stopped theirining and returned to their rooms, and it finally quieted down outside.
Ye Sijue stared at Yang Zixuan sternly. ¡°Do you see what you have done?¡±
Yang Zixuan ttened her mouth and she was about to hug his arm to gain his pity.
But Ye Sijue took a step back, held Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s hand, and they walked to the living room.
Yang Zixuan red at Mo Xiaomeng. She had no choice but to follow behind them.
Ye Sijue told Mo Xiaomeng to go freshen up while he made a call to have breakfast served.
Yang Zixuan came beside him and said pitifully by his ear, ¡°Brother Sijue, I haven¡¯t eaten breakfast yet¡¡±
Ye Sijue didn¡¯t spare her a nce as if she didn¡¯t exist as he went into another washroom.
Undeterred, Yang Zixuan stood outside and waited.
¡°Brother Sijue, don¡¯t be angry with me, okay? I missed you¡ Do you know that you haven¡¯t been home for several days? How can you note home just because of a woman? Don¡¯t you find it inappropriate?¡±
Yang Zixuan kept talking outside until Ye Sijue came out and she followed him again.
¡°Yang Zixuan, enough!¡± Ye Sijue turned back and gave her a sharp stare and he said irritated, ¡°Haven¡¯t you done enough? Go home!¡±
Yang Zixuan pouted, stamped her feet willfully and said, ¡°No! I don¡¯t wanna go back! I want to stay here also.¡±
Ye Sijue squinted at her and asked, ¡°How did you know that I was here?¡±
Yang Zixuan paused for a moment. Then she snorted and said, ¡°I just know, okay? If you have nothing to hide why would you be scared of letting me know? Or, are you doing shady things with her? Who the heck is she? Why have you been hanging around hertely? You hardly ever go back to the office or home anymore.¡±
¡°It¡¯s none of your business, isn¡¯t it?¡± Ye Sijue stared at her indifferently.
Yang Zixuan¡¯s little face dropped. Tears were forming in her eyes, tottering, as she sobbed and said, ¡°Can¡¯t I be concerned about you? Brother Sijue, why are you acting like this?¡±
Ye Sijue was really toozy to exin to her. He had always hated when women made a fuss unreasonably and it was one of the reasons why he kept his distance from women.
Women were unreasonable creatures.
Of course, his Mo Xiaomeng wasn¡¯t like them so he liked to be with Mo Xiaomeng.
Ye Sijue thought that Yang Zixuan¡¯s appearance was ruining his vacation Xiaomeng.
¡°Ah!¡± Suddenly, a voice was heard from the washroom of the master bedroom.
It was Mo Xiaomeng!
Ye Sijue was frightened as he ran over quickly.
The door of the washroom was closed. He knocked on the door as he asked, ¡°Xiaomeng, what¡¯s the matter?¡±
¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Mo Xiaomeng said in her soft and sweet voice from inside.
Yeah right.
Ye Sijue didn¡¯t believe her, and he knocked on the door again and said, ¡°Thene out and let me see.¡±
Sure enough, she was silent for a moment before saying, as if she was trying to hide something, ¡°I¡¯m really okay!¡±
Ye Sijue couldn¡¯t help but chuckle at her bad lie.
Chapter 897 - Applying Ointment on the Shameful Area (5)

¡°Are you going to stay inside forever? Come on out and let me see what¡¯s up.¡±
Yang Zixuan stood to the side, looking resentful.
Having known Ye Sijue for so many years, this was the first time she had seen him being so patient and kind with¡ a woman.
Yang Zixuan red hatefully at the door, as if trying to pierce the door with her gaze.
Just how exactly was Mo Xiaomeng deserving of special treatment from Brother Sijue?
She snorted and said to Ye Sijue, ¡°Brother Sijue, don¡¯t let her trick you! She¡¯s perfectly fine. She¡¯s only trying to get your attention. That¡¯s just too cunning of her! I¡¯ve never seen such a calcting woman before! Brother Sijue, why do you fancy her?¡±
Ye Sijue could forgive her for doing those ridiculous things, but he couldn¡¯t pardon her for saying those things about Mo Xiaomeng.
¡°Yang Zixuan,¡± he said her name coldly.
Yang Zixuan was stunned as she felt a chill run down her spine. He didn¡¯t even say anything except for her name but Yang Zixuan was strangely feeling uneasy.
¡°Brother Sijue¡¡± She could only feign innocence.
Ye Sijue red at her and said, ¡°You can either leave now or shut up. I don¡¯t like to hear anything that is hurtful to her. Do you hear me?¡±
Yang Zixuan felt hurt by how cold he was treating her.
However, the more he protected Mo Xiaomeng, the more jealous Yang Zixuan became.
Just what exactly must she do to receive the same protective and indulging manner?
Yang Zixuan knew that he was serious, so she didn¡¯t dare to protest. She had no choice but to make a temporarypromise.
¡°Alright, I won¡¯t talk about her. Don¡¯t drive me away, okay?¡±
Ye Sijue pointed outside and said, ¡°Go to the living room and sit down. Stop being a nuisance.¡±
Yang Zixuan puffed up her cheeks and walked out of the room reluctantly.
Just then, the doorbell rang. It was probably the breakfast that was being delivered.
Ye Sijue went out to open the door.
Just after he turned to walk away, there was a sound of the washroom¡¯s door opening behind him.
Ye Sijue asked the service staff to bring in the breakfast. After giving the staff a tip, and telling Yang Zixuan to dig in first. Then he went back into the room.
Yang Zixuan sat on the sofa, staring at the breakfast on the table. She ate some of every dish.
If it wasn¡¯t for Ye Sijue, she would have finished all the food so Mo Xiaomeng would have nothing to eat!
When Ye Sijue returned to the room, he saw that Mo Xiaomeng was hiding at one corner of the sofa and it was unclear what she was doing.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± He noticed that her hair was wet.
He clearly remembered her washing her hairst night.
Apparently, Mo Xiaomeng didn¡¯t expect him toe back so quickly, as she was startled upon hearing his voice. And she seemed to have felt pain as she grimaced and gasped.
Ye Sijue frowned as he walked over to her.
Mo Xiaomeng then hid her hands behind her, and it was inly obvious that she had something to hide from him.
Ye Sijue was angry but thought it was funny at the same time. He walked over to her and grabbed her little hand.
Her wound from the previous night was open again and blood flowed from her finger.
¡°How did the wound open?¡± he asked.
Mo Xiaomeng felt awkward. She looked down and said, ¡°It was an ident¡¡±
In her hand was the ster fromst night and there were a few used tissues under the arm rest, all stained with blood, which she had apparently used to wipe it off.
Chapter 898 - Applying Ointment on the Shameful Area (6)
Chapter 898: Applying Ointment on the Shameful Area (6)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°How did you get hurt?¡± He continued to ask. He held up her finger.
Mo Xiaomeng watched as he brought her finger to his thin lips, blowing it gently as though he wereforting a child.
She was absorbed as she stared at his elegant and perfect face from the side.
¡°Is it still hurting?¡± he asked as he looked into her eyes.
Mo Xiaomeng recovered her senses. She shook her head and nodded in the next moment. ¡°Actually¡ it still hurts a little.¡±
¡°How did you hurt yourself?¡± He had bandaged the woundst night. As long as she didn¡¯t move it around too much, it wouldn¡¯t be bleeding.
Mo Xiaomeng drooped her head, looking as if she was guilty of something.
¡°I just¡ identally¡ slipped and fell in the shower. I saw that the ster was wet, so I peeled it to have a look. But I identally tore open the wound again¡¡±
Hearing how careless she was, Ye Sijue stared at her as if he didn¡¯t know what to do with her.
Mo Xiaomeng sighed and said, ¡°I feel so unlucky today¡ Will I choke while drinking water too?¡±
She had always been very lucky. Why was she so down on her luck today?
Ye Sijue chuckled faintly and said, ¡°I don¡¯t think you¡¯ll be that unlucky. Did you hurt yourself from the fall?¡±
¡°I¡¯m¡ alright.¡± Mo Xiaomeng wasn¡¯t good at lying, so she gave a neutral reply.
Ye Sijue could tell just from the look of her that she was lying. It must have hurt pretty badly.
¡°What did yound on? On your butt?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng was speechless.
She looked down and her head was almost touching her chest.
Ye Sijue could see that her ear was slightly reddish.
The corner of his mouth turned up in a smile.
¡°If you¡¯re injure you need to apply some ointment. Sit here and wait. Let me see if there¡¯s anything we can use from the medicine box.¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Mo Xiaomeng was stunned.
A-apply ointment?
Why did she need to apply ointment?
Confused, Mo Xiaomeng looked at the wound on her finger. Was he talking about applying ointment on her finger?
On second thought, it didn¡¯t seem right¡
Very quickly, Ye Sijue came back carrying ointment, iodine, cotton balls, sters, and other things.
After putting the ster on to stop the bleeding on her finger, he took the ointment and said, ¡°We¡¯re going to apply the ointment now.¡±
Looking at her finger that was already stered, she didn¡¯t get him. ¡°How are we going to apply it?¡±
¡°Lie down,¡± he said.
Mo Xiaomeng still didn¡¯t understand, but she still did as he said.
When sheid down she saw Ye Sijue¡¯s hand touching her skirt.
Seeing that he was about to pull down her skirt, she was startled and quickly turned around. ¡°What are you doing!¡±
However, she felt pain in her butt as she furrowed her brows.
¡°It hurts, right? You¡¯ll feel better after applying some ointment¡± Ye Sijue said with a straight face.
Mo Xiaomeng blushed, holding on to her skirt as though her life depended on it.
She realized that when he said he was going to apply ointment, he was referring to this part of her body¡
Though her buttocks really hurt, how could she let him apply the ointment on that area!
She was ashamed just thinking about it.
She wouldn¡¯t show her butt to him even if it killed her.
Over her dead body!
¡°If you don¡¯t apply it, you¡¯ll keep hurting for the rest of the day and it will bruise tomorrow. Are you sure you want that?¡± Ye Sijue said.
Mo Xiaomeng hesitated as she felt a dull pain in her buttocks.
¡°Then¡ I¡¯ll apply it myself,¡± she said with a red face,ing up with ast resort.
In any case, she mustn¡¯t let him apply the ointment for her!

¡°What¡¯s there to be scared of? It¡¯s not like I haven¡¯t seen it before,¡± Ye Sijue said, his eyes looking amused as he was suddenly reminded of the time when they first met where he had almost seen her entire body
Mo Xiaomeng stuttered, ¡°W-when did you see it¡ I just don¡¯t want to!¡±
Even if he had seen it, that only happened when she was intoxicated.
Now that she was sober how could she let him rub the ointment on her butt¡
Mo Xiaomeng extended her soft, little hand to him. ¡°Give me the ointment. I will rub it myself.¡±
¡°You really don¡¯t want me to help?¡± asked Ye Sijue.
¡°No!¡±
¡°You can do it yourself?¡±
¡°Of course I can!¡±
Just then, Yang Zixuan, who was outside, shouted, ¡°Brother Sijue! Are youing out soon? The breakfast is getting cold!¡±
Then Mo Xiaomeng said, ¡°You should go and have breakfast! It¡¯s getting cold already. I¡¯ll apply it myself and go out to eat once I¡¯m done.¡±
¡°You definitely can¡¯t apply it yourself. You wouldn¡¯t dare to use force when applying the ointment.¡± Ye Sijue seemed to have seen through her. If she were to apply it on the surface and not allow the ointment to be applied warmly, it wouldn¡¯t be very effective.
He said bossily, ¡°Lie down, and I¡¯ll apply it for you quickly!¡±
¡°What? Didn¡¯t I say I¡¯m going to do it myself? How can you just decide to do it without my permission!¡±
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s protest was in vain as he pressed her down onto his sofa with his big hand and pulled down her skirt.
¡°Ah¡ª¡ª!¡± Mo Xiaomeng struggled and screamed in horror.
No! No!
How could he do this!
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s face was so red it looked as though blood was going to drip from her face. Her ears and neck were red as well.
¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± Ye Sijue spanked her butt to discipline her.
Feeling the pain, Mo Xiaomeng dared not wriggle anymore.
Hearing the scream from outside, Yang Zixuan asked, ¡°Brother Sijue, what happened?¡±
¡°Nothing!¡± Ye Sijue replied, he lowered his head and whispered to Mo Xiaomeng, ¡°Do you want her to see you like this?¡±
Embarrassed, Mo Xiaomeng kept still and stopped moving.
Seeing that she was being obedient, Ye Sijue smirked. He slowly squeezed the ointment into his hand, rubbed it in his palms to warm it up, and then heid his hands on her buttocks that were half exposed.
It was truly a sight for sore eyes.
Ye Sijue felt that she was particrly lovely at this moment. If he wasn¡¯t afraid that she might get angry, he would have thought of doing some naughty things.
¡°Is it painful here?¡± He rubbed at the top of her butt.
¡°Yeah¡¡± Mo Xiaomeng answered with a whimper.
¡°How about a little lower?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡±
¡°A little lower?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t go any lower!¡± Mo Xiaomeng stopped him bashfully.
¡°So it¡¯s only until this spot?¡±
¡°Yeah¡ Hurry it up!¡± Mo Xiaomeng gritted her teeth as she rushed him. Her face was all red as she closed her eyes in embarrassment.
Ye Sijue was finally done with the application of the ointment and he pulled up her skirt.
Mo Xiaomeng had been tensed up the whole time, holding her breath. Finally, she rxed.
But she didn¡¯t look up. She buried her face in the sofa as if she were an ostrich burying its head in the sand.
Seeing her ear fully reddened, he lowered his elegant face down. With warm breaths brushing past her ear, he asked gently. ¡°Does it feel better?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng was speechless.
However, her butt was indeed feeling a cool sensation and it didn¡¯t seem to ache that much now.
It seemed that this ointment was working well.
But she didn¡¯t want to answer him as though she was still angry with him.

Ye Sijue added, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you were hungry? If we keep dawdling, breakfast will get cold. It won¡¯t taste good when it¡¯s cold.¡±
Now that the weather was getting colder, it wouldn¡¯t feel good eating cold food.
Upon hearing of food, Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s stomach grumbled.
Mo Xiaomeng squirmed and she finally raised her head reluctantly.
Seeing her bright red cheeks, Ye Sijue couldn¡¯t help but squeeze her chin and lean down to kiss her.
Mo Xiaomeng was stunned. Why was he still¡
Ye Sijue¡¯s tongue went one round in her little mouth before slipping out.
¡°Oh, I forgot to praise you just now.¡±
Praise her?
Puzzled, Mo Xiaomeng batted her eyes.
Ye Sijue gave a devilish smirk, and he whispered, ¡°Your butt¡¯s pretty bouncy.¡±
¡°Hey!¡± Mo Xiaomeng was peeved as she clenched her little fist and hit him.
Ye Sijue didn¡¯t stop her since her little strength was nothing to him.
Perhaps the muscles on his chest and shoulders were too solid or maybe she was too weak. Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s hand was aching instead.
¡°I¡¯m gonna ignore you!¡± Mo Xiaomeng snorted at him, came down from the sofa, and hurried out of the room.
Ye Sijue smiled as he followed behind her.
In the living room.
Mo Xiaomeng followed the smell to the sofa and saw that the table was aplete mess.
Much of the breakfast had already been eaten, with only a little food left on the two tes.
Yang Zixuan snorted at her. She held the two tes and said to Ye Sijue, ¡°Brother Sijue, these are for you.¡±
Ye Sijue looked at the mess on the table and he wrinkled his brows.
The food had been enough for the three of them. But Yang Zixuan was wasteful. She took only a bite of some of the food before throwing it away.
She didn¡¯t want to leave anything for Mo Xiaomeng.
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s stomach grumbled again as she stared at the two tes of food.
Yang Zixuan said delightedly with her chin up, ¡°This is what I left for Brother Sijue. There¡¯s none for you! If you want to eat, go make a call and order it yourself.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s eyes met with hers as she said angrily, ¡°Even if you give me your leftovers, I¡¯m wouldn¡¯t eat them!¡±
She had a temper too!
Mo Xiaomeng was panting angrily. After shooting a re at Ye Sijue, she went back to the room, picked up her cell phone and her bag, and walked toward the door.
Yang Zixuan wrinkled her nose at her. ¡°All the better!¡±
She wanted to make Mo Xiaomeng angry and hopefully drive her away so she wouldn¡¯t hang around her Brother Sijue any longer.
¡°Xiaomeng!¡± Ye Sijue wanted to chase after her, but he looked to Yang Zixuan.
¡°You areing out too!¡± he shouted at her.
Yang Zixuan said unhappily, ¡°If she wants to leave, let her. I¡¯m not leaving. Why are you driving me away? She was the one throwing a tantrum, not me.¡±
Ye Sijue went to get his cell phone and jacket and he said to her coldly, ¡°Are youing out or not?¡±
Yang Zixuan was very scared of the look he gave her, so she had no choice but to follow him out.
Ye Sijue didn¡¯t want to dawdle, fearing that Mo Xiaomeng would run off. When he came out of the room and locked the door, he didn¡¯t care about Yang Zixuan as he chased after Mo Xiaomeng in a hurry.
¡°Brother Sijue! Where are you going? Wait for me!¡±
Yang Zixuan continued to follow him like a haunting spirit.
However, seeing Mo Xiaomeng quarrel with Ye Sijue made she smile delightedly.

At City A¡¯s hospital.
Because Su Lin was not in a healthy mental state recently, Mama Su suspected that her illness had rpsed, so she gave her some medicine to calm her down.
However, Su Lin wouldn¡¯t take the medicine.
¡°I¡¯m not sick. Why are you giving me medicine? I don¡¯t want to take medicine! Take it away!¡±
With that said, she pushed Mama Su¡¯s hand away and angrily threw the cup in her hand onto the ground.
It made a loud noise as the cup smashed into pieces.
Mama Su was scared pale. Seeing her daughter¡¯s mental state bing worse, it was as if they were back in America for her treatment.
Mama Su was worried that if this were to keep up, her daughter¡¯s condition would reach a dire stage.
¡°Linlin, don¡¯t be angry, okay? If you don¡¯t want to take the medicine, then don¡¯t take it. Actually, this is only some vitamins. It¡¯s not medicine. Since you¡¯ve been staying in the hospital recently, Mama is worried that you might not be properly nourished, so I asked the nursedy to give you some vitamins.¡±
Mama Su pacified her, but as soon as she went closer to the bed, Su Lin reacted dramatically.
¡°Go away! Didn¡¯t I tell you to pretend that you are not in China? What if Shaojie were to suddenlye visit? Ma, why can¡¯t you listen? I don¡¯t want to see you. Go away!¡± Su Lin pulled a long face as she drove her mother away and she even looked like she was going to throw some things.
Mama Su dared not approach her anymore. She nodded and said, ¡°Okay okay okay, I¡¯m going home. Calm down. Don¡¯t be angry, baby. Mama will go home now.¡±
¡°Get going! Shaojie will being to see me soon.¡±
Mama Su looked worried, but she had no choice but to leave the ward first.
Sure enough, when she left the ward, it became quiet in the room.
She waited for a while, and when the nurse came out, she quickly grabbed the nurse and asked, ¡°Has my daughter¡¯s condition stabilized?¡±
The nursedy was feeling quite frightened after seeing what happened. She forced a smile and said, ¡°Miss Su is much better now. After Madam came out, she stopped being noisy and was even willing to take the medicine.¡±
¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Mama Su felt a little relief. At least the medicine would be able to help calm her illness.
But she was still very worried. She was considering sending Su Lin to America.
However, judging by Su Lin¡¯s current situation, she was afraid that she wouldn¡¯t go with them to America.
After some thought, Mama Su gave a call to her husband to ask him about how his talk with Yin Shaojie went.
¡°You must definitely convince Shaojie. If he is to apany Linlin, Linlin will definitely go to America with him. Otherwise, Linlin won¡¯t be able to get treated and her condition would only get worse.¡±
¡°I know, I know. I have already made an appointment with Shaojie, and I¡¯m rushing over now. We¡¯ll talk againter.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t care how you do it. Even if you have to beg him, you must get Shaojie to agree to help us, do you hear me!¡±
¡°Alright. I¡¯m hanging up.¡±
Mama Su looked at the cell phone and sighed helplessly.
In the ward.
After telling the nurse to go out, Su Lin grabbed her cell phone from the bedside table. She first made a call to Yin Shaojie, however, there was only a short ring before the call disconnected.
Su Lin froze for a moment. Her eyes immediately turned red as though blood had rushed to her eyes and her expression exuded malevolence.
She red at the cell phone, as if she was going to eat it up. The look on her was terrifying.
¡°Maybe he¡¯s busy¡ I shouldn¡¯t bother him. I shouldn¡¯t bother him¡¡±

¡°Yeah. He¡¯s just too busy¡ That must be why¡¡±
She muttered quietly. The scarlet in her eyes then slowly dissipated and she looked cated.
Holding the cell phone for a while, she made a call to another number.
This time, the call was quickly answered.
¡°Hello.¡± It was a voice that sounded as pleasant as violin.
Upon hearing his voice, Su Lin immediately grumbled, ¡°Shengyang, why haven¡¯t youe to see metely? Is it because you don¡¯t like me anymore after chasing Mu Xiaoxiao?¡±
¡°No¡¡± Feng Shengyang replied unhurriedly, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be honest. I¡¯m injured so I can¡¯t go and see you. Stop imagining things, alright?¡± How can I possibly not like you?¡±
Su Lin became worried. ¡°Are you hurt? Is it very serious? I¡¯ll go visit you!¡±
¡°It¡¯s not very serious. It¡¯s only some concussions and a bit of injuries on my arm and leg, and I have to be hospitalized for a few days.¡± He deliberately yed down his injuries as if they were really not serious.
¡°How is a concussion not serious? How did you get concussed?¡±
¡°It¡¯s only a car ident.¡± He was not even taking it seriously when he said it, as if it wasn¡¯t a fall.
Su Lin was shocked upon hearing of a car ident. ¡°Car ident? That¡¯s serious! How can you still say it¡¯s not? You must be very hurt, right? Otherwise, you would havee to see me.¡±
At that moment, Feng Shengyang said gently, ¡°Linlin, I miss you.¡±
Just when Su Lin was still worried about his injury, her heart was jolted upon hearing that.
She was able to resist his flirtation in the past, but now, she seemed to have fallen for it.
¡°I¡ I miss you too. Where are you? I¡¯ll go and visit you.¡± Su Lin unconsciously became gentler in her tone.
¡°It¡¯s not convenient for you to. Don¡¯te, alright? I¡¯ll go visit you when I get better.¡±
¡°No, I want to see you now,¡± Su Lin said coyly.
Feng Shengyang seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, ¡°Alright then.¡±
Su Lin chuckled. She knew that he would give in to her. ¡°Tell me which hospital you are staying at and I¡¯ll go find you.¡±
Before she could finish talking he hung up.
Su Lin was startled.
However, in the next second, the cell phone rang again. This time, it was a video call.
Su Lin was surprised, and she quickly answered the call.
Feng Shengyang¡¯s uninhibited and elegant figure was seen on the screen, and he waved to her and said, ¡°See? I didn¡¯t lie to you, right?¡±
He raised his hand to let her see the bandage on it.
In the background were the hospital¡¯s white bedsheets and the white walls, and it was just like how it looked like on her side.
Su Lin felt sorry as she looked at him. ¡°How did you get into a car ident? Are you feeling better now?¡±
¡°I¡¯m much better now. It¡¯s an ident. It couldn¡¯t be avoided. As long as we¡¯re still fine, it¡¯s all good. I may not be able to visit you for some time. Promise me that you¡¯ll take good care of yourself, okay?¡± Feng Shengyang said very affectionately.
Su Lin¡¯s heart instantly melted, ¡°Okay¡¡±
After exchanging a few more words, Feng Shengyang said that he had to go for an examination and he hung up.
Su Lin stared at the phone for a long time.
The video seemed to have stopped.
When she recovered her senses, she suddenly made a call to Yin Shaojie again. But the call still wasn¡¯t picked up.
Su Lin¡¯s eyes reddened, and she threw the cell phone.

At a western restaurant.
Although Papa Su had already prepared what he wanted to say, he still didn¡¯t know how to go about saying it as he faced Yin Shaojie.
His hands were on the table, and he anxiously rubbed his hands.
¡°Shaojie¡¡± There was a long silence, and he finally managed to say it. ¡°You know about Linlin¡¯s feelings for you, right?¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded slightly, treating his elder with due respect, he said tepidly, ¡°I know. But, I¡¯m very sorry, Uncle Su. Su Lin and I¡¡±
¡°I know. Of course I know. You are now engaged with Xiaoxiao. Actually, I shouldn¡¯t be bothering you. It¡¯s just that, because of you, Linlin¡¡± Papa Su sighed, and he came clean about Su Lin¡¯s condition.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t appear shocked.
Papa Su was surprised, ¡°Do you already know?¡±
¡°I only found out about it recently,¡± Yin Shaojie replied honestly.
Papa Su sighed and said, ¡°She was resentful toward me, saying that I didn¡¯t even let her tell you about it before taking her to America.¡±
Yin Shaojie paused for a moment, and he said to him, ¡°Uncle Su, I think you are mistaken. I have never dated Su Lin.¡±
Papa Su was stunned. ¡°You¡ Weren¡¯t you two dating for a period of time? I still remember that Linlin was very happy every day in that period. And she even told us that you two were together.¡±
So how could they not have dated!
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t want to waste time, so he said straightforwardly, ¡°This is what happened. There was one time when I met with some ident and it was Su Lin who helped me. Later, I agreed to hang out with her for a few days, but I didn¡¯t expect that she would treat it as though we were dating.¡±
Papa Su stared nkly. ¡°So that¡¯s what happened¡ But, if you knew that she liked you, why would you agree to a request like this?¡±
Yin Shaojie admitted that he was wrong. ¡°You¡¯re right. It was thoughtless of me.¡±
By spending time together with someone, one knew whether they werepatible with the other person.
He thought that by letting Su Lin realize that he would never like her, she would give up. But little did he know it would only make it worse.
This was one of his miscalctions.
Papa Su sighed. ¡°What¡¯s done is done. What¡¯s most important now is how we solve it. There is something I think I should tell you.¡±
At that moment, Papa Su¡¯s expression turned grave.
Yin Shaojie looked at him and nodded. ¡°Please tell. I also wish to resolve this problem.¡±
Papa Su covered his face with his hands, and he said solemnly. ¡°Do you know¡ why Linlin became like this?¡±
¡°Did something happen?¡± Yin Shaojie had also questioned if something had happened to Su Lin that led to her to having a mental disorder.
There seemed to be pain in Papa Su¡¯s eyes. ¡°It was during¡ the period when Su Lin thought you two were dating. One night, she said that she had a date with you, but you couldn¡¯t make it. When she called back¡ she cried so miserably and said that she was¡ raped.¡±
He said thest few words with great difficulty, his eyes turning red immediately after.
Yin Shaojie was jolted, and his pupils erged, ¡°How did¡¡±
Papa Su said gravely, ¡°It¡¯s true. I¡¯m not lying to you.¡±
¡°No, I didn¡¯t say that I don¡¯t believe you. It¡¯s just¡ Why?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression wasplicated. How could he not have guessed? There was no sign of it so he didn¡¯t even think about it.
Looking anguished, it was apparent that Papa Su didn¡¯t want to recall this incident.

¡°When she went to school, she seemed alright. But when she got home, she would be very moody. Sometimes she would smash things at home. Later¡ we felt something was odd with her, so we took her to see the doctor. The doctor said that her condition was quite serious, and he suggested that we send her to America for treatment. On that night, Linlin almost mutted herself. We were all shocked, so we quickly sent her to America.¡±
¡°Self-harm¡¡± Yin Shaojie sighed.
Papa Su¡¯s eyes were watery, and there was whimpering in his voice. ¡°It was a really difficult time back in the States. We thought that it was a hopeless situation. But Linlin slowly got better. It¡¯s just that sometimes, she would still say some strange things and give a scary smile. But we held onto our hope that she would recover.¡±
Seeing his smile, Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help but feel sad.
It wasn¡¯t easy being a parent.
Recalling his investigations, if Su Lin was the one responsible for all those previous incidents, then it would coincide with her time when she was mentally unstable in America.
He looked to Papa Su and asked, ¡°After she started to improve, did the doctor say that she could return to China?¡±
Papa Su nodded. ¡°Yeah. We were very happy at that time, thinking that she was getting better, although the doctor had also said that her illness could return and that it is difficult topletely recover from mental illnesses. The doctor didn¡¯t approve of bringing her back to China, but Linlin kept pleading with us, so her mother and I became softhearted. We agreed to bring her back for a while, but we didn¡¯t expect¡¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes were deeply contemtive.
He thought that Su Lin¡¯s condition didn¡¯t actually get better. But it was just that she became smarter and learned to hide her illness. As long as she didn¡¯t go crazy, her family would believe that she was getting better and go along with her every request. .
Then, Su Lin nned to return to China.
Whether she hade back for him or for Xiaoxiao was a question that only Su Lin could answer.
Yin Shaojie felt that Su Lin wasn¡¯t actually so fond of him, but she was just overly obsessed with getting what she could not have.
Arge part of how Su Lin had developed this kind of personality was because of her family environment. Her parents spoiled her too much, giving her whatever she wanted. Gradually, Su Lin started to think that she could get whatever she wanted.
So she was even willing to use underhanded means to get what she wanted.
After talking for so long, Papa Su finally got to the main point.
¡°Shaojie¡ I know this is a huge favor Uncle is asking of you. But we really have no choice. So I hope you will agree to help us, okay?¡± Papa Su stared at him with anticipation.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t have to ask as he could probably guess what he was going to say.
As if he didn¡¯t want Yin Shaojie to refuse him, Papa Su quickly said, ¡°We¡¯re not asking you to really be together with Linlin. We just¡ want you to act the part, okay? Just like what you did thest time, apany her and make her happy. We want to send her back to America to continue her treatment, so you just need to coax her into going back to America.¡±
Yin Shaojie was silent. He didn¡¯t agree or refuse.
Papa Su¡¯s eyes were red as he said, ¡°Although we can¡¯t me you for her getting raped¡ shouldn¡¯t you be taking some responsibility for this too?¡±

Yin Shaojie clenched his jaw and pressed his lips into a straight line.

¡
At Nanxiang Old Town.
Mo Xiaomeng ran out in a huff. Looking back a few times, she didn¡¯t see Ye Sijue chasing after her, and she grew even angrier.
She wasn¡¯t even walking very fast, and his legs were longer than hers. How could he not catch up to her?
It showed that he didn¡¯t want to get her.
Mo Xiaomeng felt a tense, aching pain in her chest as if someone had thrown several punches at her chest.
She had never felt this way before, so much that her eyes were feeling sore.
When it rained, it poured. Her stomach was rumbling again. She was so hungry and tired of walking. She looked around to see if there was anything to eat.
Because Nanxiang Old Town was holding the Water Lantern Festival, it was tourist season. Tourists were everywhere with many walking through the various shops.
Mo Xiaomeng was reminded about the noodles that Ye Sijue took her to eat yesterday. It was particrly tasty. They were supposed to join a long queue for the food, but somehow, Ye Sijue did something, and they are without queuing.
Suddenly, she felt a great craving for the noodles. But at the thought of Ye Sijue, she became irritated again and didn¡¯t want to eat anymore.
Rubbing her belly, she decided that she should still fill up her tummy first.
It was very crowded. Mo Xiaomeng was afraid of being bumped into, so she walked along the sides.
Just when she turned, she saw Ye Sijue running out of the inn, looking anxious to find her.
The corner of her mouth unconsciously turned up in a smile.
But she stubbornly refused to call out to him as she wanted him to continue looking for her.
She wanted to see if he could find her among this sea of people.
She was feeling happier at the thought of her n. Afraid that he would see her, she bent down and went into a small alley.
¡°Miss, do you want to eat nian gao? These are our hand-made nian gao. They are really good. It is a Nanxiang Old Town specialty snack. You must try this if you¡¯re here to visit,¡± the olddy, full of wrinkles on her face, smiled and said to her.
Staring at the white, sticky nian gao, Mo Xiaomeng licked her lower lip and said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll buy. Give me¡ two!¡±
The olddy enthusiastically packed two pieces for her. After receiving the money, she was still full of praises about how many good her nian gao tasted.
Mo Xiaomeng took a bite. It was sweet but not too sweet. She liked it.
She smiled and said, ¡°Yeah! It¡¯s really good. Thank you, Ma¡¯am.¡±
Afraid that Ye Sijue would find her there, she quickly said goodbye to the olddy and headed for the crowded area.
Along the way, Mo Xiaomeng had quite a few snacks and finally satiated herself.
Actually, she was pretty happy being alone.
Though that was what Mo Xiaomeng said to herself, but she still couldn¡¯t stop herself from thinking about Ye Sijue. Where was he looking for her now, or had he already given up looking for her?
But thinking about how well Ye Sijue had treated her in China, she didn¡¯t think he would do that.
How could he not be looking for her when she ran out like that?
As she kept walking and saw couples walking together, Mo Xiaomeng suddenly felt lonely, and thoughts of Ye Sijue began to fill her head.
Where was he now¡
Mo Xiaomeng took out the cell phone that had been vibrating, looked at the name on the screen, and she refused the call.
Then, she saw that Ye Sijue had made a total of 67 calls to her.
She already missed him and upon seeing his name, she missed him even more.
Chapter 906 - He Stood Her Up (4)
Chapter 906: He Stood Her Up (4)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mo Xiaomeng thought this feeling was too weird.
It was hardly even thirty minutes since they parted. Why did she miss him so much already?
Where could he be now¡
The crowd was bustling, but when she looked around, there was not one familiar figure in sight. In the middle of all those people, she felt even more lonely.
She looked at the cell phone and thought that if he called her again she would pick up the call.
Thus, Mo Xiaomeng stared at the cell phone screen with eyes wide open.
Sure enough, in less than a few moments, the cell phone rang again.
Mo Xiaomeng smiled like the bright and beautiful sun.
¡°I knew you would call!¡±
Hehe, yay!
Just when she was about to answer the call, someone suddenly bumped her from behind.
¡°Sorry, sorry.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng instinctively turned back to look at the man who bumped into her. He wore sses and looked well-mannered. And since he also apologized sincerely, she couldn¡¯t get angry at him.
¡°It¡¯s okay,¡± she smiled and said.
The well-mannered man was stunned for a moment. He pointed at her hand and said, ¡°Your cell phone¡ that person took your cell phone!¡±
Mo Xiaomeng was startled, and she looked down at her hand.
The cell phone, that was in her hand, had vanished!
How did she not even sense her phone being stolen?!
Goodness gracious!
Mo Xiaomeng never imagined such a thing could happen. How could a phone that was held in her hand be stolen from her?
No. This was more like a snatch theft!
Before she had time to react, the well-mannered man was already feeling anxious for her. ¡°Aren¡¯t you gonna chase him? Hurry up and chase him already!¡±
Mo Xiaomeng then snapped out of it.
With her power, she had pretty much given up on the idea of getting back the stolen phone.
But now without her phone, how was she going to keep in contact with Ye Sijue!
Mo Xiaomeng started to panic. ¡°My cell phone, my cell phone! What should I do!¡±
¡°Chase him! I¡¯ll help you chase him!¡± said the well-mannered man.
¡°Thank you.¡±
Thus, under the guidance of the well-mannered man, the two chased after the thief.
However, there were a lot of small paths here like a maze and Mo Xiaomeng started to get dizzy. She also didn¡¯t realize that there were gradually fewer people around them.
¡°I can¡¯t do it. I can¡¯t run anymore.¡± Mo Xiaomeng stopped and held herself against the railing by the river.
There was a small river running through Nanxiang Old Town, so one of the distinguishing features of the town were the many old bridges that could be found here.
The well-mannered man looked around and said to her, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. I know where those thieves are. I¡¯ll take you there. I¡¯ll definitely help you get your cell phone back.¡±
¡°Thank you,¡± Mo Xiaomeng said gratefully, unaware that she was walking into danger.
¡°Don¡¯t thank me. It¡¯s my fault that your cell phone was stolen. So, I¡¯m to me.¡± the well-mannered manughed amiably,ing across as a good person.
¡°Bumped into you¡±¡
Mo Xiaomeng was catching her breath when she stopped. A video that she had seen on the Inte two days ago flitted across her mind.
Thieves typically worked in a team. One person would be responsible for distracting the target¡¯s attention while the other was responsible for the stealing.
One clear example from the video was when someone taps on your shoulder to distract you, and you turn your head to look, opening yourself up for an aplice to steal your belongings.
In apse, Mo Xiaomeng couldn¡¯t help but recall everything that had just happened.
The well-mannered man tapped on her shoulder, and after that, her cell phone was stolen.
If they were really acting in a group they had already seeded. Why were they still continuing the act?
Chapter 907 - He Stood Her Up (5)

The well-mannered man sensed that she was acting differently, so he tried to feel her out. ¡°Miss, is anything the matter? Let¡¯s not rest too much and continue chasing him. Otherwise, your cell phone may be sold off very quickly.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng watched him.
Why are you so clear about the whole process?
Isn¡¯t that strange?
And about what he said earlier about knowing where the thieves were¡ how would he know that?
But Mo Xiaomeng wasn¡¯t stupid enough to blurt out her thoughts. Wouldn¡¯t that be telling him that she had noticed things were off?
Mo Xiaomeng looked up at the sky. She grimaced and pretended to be feeling unwell.
¡°After running for so long, my head is a little dizzy¡ let me rest for a while more.¡±
When she lowered her head, she looked around with her peripheral vision to see if there was anyone that could help her.
But to her dismay, there was no one around except for one or two people passing by, but they were a little too far away, and even if she shouted, it wouldn¡¯t be very helpful.
What should she do then?
Mo Xiaomeng panicked andmbasted herself for being so stupid that she came to a remote ce with a stranger.
¡°Miss, if you are feeling unwell, why don¡¯t I take you to the doctor?¡±
The well-mannered man walked over to her.
The closer he came to her, the more panicked Mo Xiaomeng became.
What could she do!!
In a moment¡¯s helplessness, Mo Xiaomeng didn¡¯t had time to think of a better idea, and she broke into a run.
The well-mannered man was already prepared, and he immediately chased after her.
Mo Xiaomeng had never run so fast before and the well-mannered man was quite annoyed, as though he had underestimated her strength.
Seeing that she was about to reach the more popted area, the well-mannered man gritted his teeth and sped up.
¡°Help!¡± Mo Xiaomeng shouted, her voice hoarse.
In the next second, the well-mannered man caught her hand from behind.
¡°Where are you going!¡± the well-mannered man shouted coldly at her.
Mo Xiaomeng shook with fear, and she continued shouting herself hoarse, ¡°Help! Help!¡±
Just then, perhaps by a stroke of luck, a group of people just happened to pass by, and they quickly came up to her upon hearing her shouting for help.
Just when Mo Xiaomeng was feeling d and was going to ask them for help¡
The well-mannered man was even faster than her, and he suddenly grabbed her and said, ¡°Sister, hurry up ande home with me!¡±
Upon hearing this, the group of people thought that they were siblings quarreling and they started walking away.
Mo Xiaomeng quickly shouted, ¡°I don¡¯t know him! This person is trying to get me! I¡¯m not his sister. He wants to abduct me! Please help me!¡±
Perhaps it was because she was too good-looking and looking so pitiful that the boys in the group couldn¡¯t bear to ignore her, so they surrounded them.
The well-mannered man quickly said, ¡°She is really my sister. I¡¯m not lying to you. She¡¯s trying to run away from home. Some guy is ying her but she wants to take her money and elope with him. You be the judge. How can I just let her go?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s eyes widened in amazement.
She had never seen such a terrifying person. How could he lie through his teeth like that!
Just then, someone urged her, ¡°Little girl, you should listen to your brother. Don¡¯t run away with the man or you will regret itter. Go home with brother.¡±
¡°He is really not my brother!¡± Mo Xiaomeng was about to cry from the panic.
Flustered, she looked around, hoping to find Ye Sijue.
Where was he?
Then someone noticed something, ¡°Eh? Does this girl look mixed-race?¡±

¡°There¡¯s something you don¡¯t know then. There¡¯s an ethnic minority here in Nanxiang Old Town, so looking like that is very normal.¡±
¡°But there¡¯s something wrong here¡ Her eyes look like they¡¯re a deep blue color!¡±
¡°Eh! That seems to be the case!¡±
The tables had turned.
Mo Xiaomeng nodded her head hurriedly. ¡°Yeah, yeah, I¡¯m mixed blood. I¡¯m actually not Chinese, but a foreigner.¡±
This time, it was the gentleman¡¯s turn to be anxious. ¡°She¡¯s really my sister! Don¡¯t be foolish! If she runs away with a man and something happens to her, will you be able to shoulder the responsibility?¡±
These words stopped some people in their tracks.
As the saying goes, ¡°One shouldn¡¯t be afraid that bad guys that act gangster, but should when they are cultured!¡±
Upon seeing that some of the people¡¯s attitudes have changed, Mo Xiaomeng became angry and anxious. ¡°I¡¯m really not his sister! I came out to y with my boyfriend, and we¡¯re staying in the seaside inn. Can you help me make a call? My phone has been stolen by them, and I can¡¯t contact my boyfriend now.¡±
Upon hearing the words ¡°seaside inn¡±, someone eximed, ¡°That inn¡¯s expensive. That means she¡¯s rich.¡±
¡°She was deceived by a rich man¡ª Ugh! Cough, cough¡¡±
The gentleman wanted to continue fabricating his story, but his neck was suddenly choked by someone, and his face turned pale.
The crowd looked at the sudden appearance of a new man in shock.
What was happening?
Mo Xiaomeng was released and staggered two steps forward. Turning around, she met Ye Sijue¡¯s gaze.
Her nose twinged instantly and she said aggrievedly, ¡°Why are you only here now¡¡±
Ye Sijue looked at her, his heart aching. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±
The gentleman was stunned as he understood that both of them knew each other.
The crowd started to murmur. Could it be that this handsome man was this little beauty¡¯s boyfriend? They looked like a couple, a perfect match!
The gentleman wanted to run away, but couldn¡¯t. In the next second his hand was twisted behind his back and he was shrieking in pain.
The crowd seemed to almost hear the sound of bones cracking and looked at Ye Sijue in fear.
Ye Sijue looked like a demon in the dark as he threw the gentleman onto the ground. Pinning him down with his foot, he asked, his gaze icy, ¡°Where is her phone?¡±
¡°It¡¯s¡ It¡¯s with mypanions¡ Please, let me go¡¡±
The gentleman pleaded weakly.
His words made the crowd realize that he had been lying all along!
¡°So he¡¯s a human trafficker? It¡¯s lucky that we didn¡¯t trust him or this littledy would have suffered disastrously.¡±
¡°Human traffickers are the worst! We have to call the police! Yes, call the police!¡±
Upon hearing this, the gentleman¡¯s spirits lifted. He felt that he would at least live if the police were called!
Ye Sijue increased the pressure of his foot and shot him a cold re. ¡°I¡¯ll give you five minutes to return her phone.¡±
¡°Okay, okay¡ I-I¡¯ll go and retrieve it¡ Ah! No, no, I won¡¯t go back. I¡¯ll make a call, I¡¯ll make a call to get them to send it over here¡¡±
The gentleman took out his phone to make a call.
Ye Sijue then released his foot.
The gentleman crawled up with difficulty and coughed a few times. He looked at Ye Sijue in fear.
After a few minutes someone brought the phone over. It was a woman. She was small and thin, and looked at them timidly.
¡°Could this be a person who was kidnapped by them?¡±
¡°I¡¯m eighty percent sure of it!¡±
¡°What do you mean eighty percent? I think it is ny-nine percent! These human traffickers should die!¡±

Once the woman came over, the gentleman snatched the phone away roughly before offering it back to Mo Xiaomeng with both hands.
After taking back her phone, Mo Xiaomeng red at him angrily.
Ye Sijue pulled her to his side. Looping an arm around her, he patted her as he said, ¡°How do you want to punish him?¡±
The crowd around them suggested, ¡°Call the police! Little miss, you shouldn¡¯t let them go. These human traffickers are the worst, and will never turn over a new leaf.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, they should be locked up!¡±
Mo Xiaomeng thought that this sounded right. ¡°Call the police then.¡±
Upon hearing that the police were going to be called, the gentleman didn¡¯t look very scared.
The corner of Ye Sijue¡¯s mouth twitched darkly.
After a while, the policemen arrived and took both the gentleman and the thin woman away.
The crowd even reminded the policemen kindheartedly that the thin woman may have been kidnapped, and wished that they could investigate it properly and send her home.
The policemen agreed wholeheartedly that they would do so.
However, once the police car was a ways away, it stopped at a road. The gentleman got out, dragging the thin woman with him.
¡
The crowd dispersed.
Mo Xiaomeng hugged Ye Sijue¡¯s arm. She still had some lingering fears as she thought about what had happened earlier.
Her face was frowning as she said softly, ¡°Why are the bad guys nowadays so scary¡¡±
Ye Sijue lifted her chin so that she could look at him.
¡°Now that you know how scary it is out there, do you still want to run away?¡±
¡°I know I¡¯m in the wrong now¡¡± Mo Xiaomeng pouted and moved closer, burying her head in his chest. She listened to his calm and steady heartbeat and the fear in her heart seemed to be reced by peace.
Ye Sijue kissed the top of her head. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go and get you some food.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng shook her head. ¡°I ate earlier.¡±
He replied mildly, ¡°I haven¡¯t eaten.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng paused. Lifting her head, she looked at him guiltily. ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡¡±
Ye Sijue looked into her eyes and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. Don¡¯t do this again next time, alright? I¡¯ll worry.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Mo Xiaomeng nodded.
The pair went into the nearest restaurant.
After ordering their dishes, Ye Sijue made a call.
Mo Xiaomeng looked at him and asked, ¡°Is Xiaoxiao and the rest arriving?¡±
¡°No,¡± Ye Sijue exined, ¡°I¡¯m calling the police. Some people tend to swerve from their line of duty and they need to be under supervision.¡±
Swerve from their line of duty? Mo Xiaomeng didn¡¯t get the meaning behind those words.
Ye Sijue didn¡¯t want her to know about the bad things that were happening and thus didn¡¯t provide any further exnation.
That gentleman was evidently in cahoots with the police. He wouldn¡¯t be taken to the police station but released along the way.
His call was to the head of the police bureau here to casually remind him of this matter. If the head still wanted to keep his post, he would know what to do.
Just then, Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s phone rang.
She was delighted by the caller ID. ¡°It¡¯s Xiaoxiao!¡±
After her call, Mo Xiaomeng said to Ye Sijue happily, ¡°Xiaoxiao says that they¡¯re arriving! Oh yeah, they said that they want us to move over to where they¡¯re staying so that we can all be together.¡±
Nanxiang Old Town was experiencing a tourist boom because of the Water Lantern Festival. The inns here were almost fully booked, and it would have been very difficult to book a reservation for a room if they just arrived.
Ye Sijue asked, ¡°What inn have they booked?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know. Xiaoxiao says that she¡¯ll send us the address so that we can go there directly.¡±
Chapter 910 - He Stood Her Up (8)
Chapter 910: He Stood Her Up (8)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Just as she finished speaking, she heard a notification tone from her phone. The address had been sent to her.
Ye Sijue took the phone. Looking at it, he couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. ¡°So it turns out this is the ce¡¡±
¡°What?¡± Mo Xiaomeng asked.
¡°It¡¯s nothing. We¡¯ll head over after we eat.¡±
¡°What about our luggage?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll get the inn to send it over.¡±
Like this, he could avoid Yang Zixuan.
Mo Xiaomeng had also thought about this point. With the knowledge that she didn¡¯t need to see Yang Zixuan, she became quite happy and her little face beamed with joy instantly.
¡ª-
Twenty minutester.
The group of them met up in a courtyard house.
Upon seeing Mu Xiaoxiao, Mo Xiaomeng lunged forward and hugged her warmly, as though she hadn¡¯t seen her in a very long time.
Beside them, Han Qiqing looked jealous as she said, ¡°What about me?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng and Mu Xiaoxiao thenughed. Reaching out, they took her in their arms too.
The three of them did a group hug and even turned circles around the area happily.
After their moment of joy they decided on their rooms.
Han Qiqing walked back to the courtyard and looked around at the courtyard house. Curious, she asked, ¡°Is this also an inn? How was it booked?¡±
Song Shijun smiled and said, ¡°This isn¡¯t an inn, but it epted your booking.¡±
¡°Why?¡± Han Qiqing was puzzled.
Song Shijun leaned towards her ear furtively as he said, ¡°Because I bought this house.¡±
Han Qiqing was shocked. ¡°This is yours?¡±
Song Shijun nodded. ¡°It¡¯s not bad, right? I¡¯m thinking of making this ce into an inn in the future.¡±
¡°Nice thinking. I didn¡¯t expect you to have such a petit bourgeois-like dream. I support you.¡± Han Qiqing patted his shoulder.
¡°Who says that this is my dream? My dream is to earn lots of money in the future! I want to be the richest person!¡±
¡°Cheh!¡± Han Qiqing teased.
Mu Xiaoxiao walked out from a room and said, ¡°Okay, since our rooms have been settled, should we go out and sightsee or eat some snacks?¡±
Han Qiqingughed and said, ¡°Are you not going to wait for Yin Shaojie toe back before going out?¡±
¡°Let¡¯s not wait for him. Who knows when he¡¯lle? I want to go eat something!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao walked over and tugged at Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s hand. The pair looked like kindergarten kids as they swung their hands.
Song Shijun asked curiously, ¡°What is Shaojie doing? We¡¯re already here, but there¡¯s not even a call from him. Xiaoxiao, shouldn¡¯t you tell him if he¡¯s going toe? Wouldn¡¯t he arrive veryte if he hasn¡¯t set off yet?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know. Let¡¯s wait until he¡¯s done with his stuff.¡±
In a serious tone, Song Shijun said, ¡°I have a feeling that he will stand you up!¡±
¡°Shut your mouth and stop jinxing things!¡± Han Qiqing tried to whack the back of his head, but Song Shijun dodged her attack.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said confidently, ¡°He won¡¯t. He¡¯ll arrivete at most, but he definitely won¡¯t stand me up.¡±
Since forever, Yin Shaojie had always aplished the things that he had promised to do.
¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. We¡¯re going out!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao waved Han Qiqing over.
Thus, with one arm around Mo Xiaomeng, and one arm around Han Qiqing, she walked out of the courtyard house.
Behind them followed Ye Sijue and Song Shijun, their two bodyguards.
The girls ate and yed as they explored the streets, and forgot about time quickly.
They only noticed it when the sun was about to set.
Suddenly, Han Qiqing remembered something. ¡°Ah! Didn¡¯t we want to make waternterns? We haven¡¯t bought them yet!¡±
Chapter 911 - He Stood Her Up (9)

¡°We should have dinner first,¡± Song Shijun suggested. He suddenly remembered something and looked at Mu Xiaoxiao, asking, ¡°Xiaoxiao, why is Shaojie not here yet? Do you want to call him and ask where he is right now?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was also curious about why Yin Shaojie was still absent and thus made the call.
However, the cold voice of a woman rang out from the phone.
¡°The phone you have just dialed has been switched off. Please try againter¡¡±
She became gloomy. ¡°He¡¯s shut off his phone.¡±
¡°Could it be that his phone is out of battery?¡± Song Shijun tried to help his friend exin it away.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought about it. It seemed possible, for her phone had run out of battery on the way here and she had to charge it in the car.
They had slept in the hospital the night before and not charged their phones. Their batteries were low, and his phone could have shut down easily from that.
However, Han Qiqing said, ¡°If he¡¯s driving over, he can charge it up in the car.¡±
Song Shijun spread his hands out and said, ¡°It means that he¡¯s not driving over here!¡±
¡°How can he not notice that?¡± Han Qiqing asked.
Song Shijun teased, ¡°Do you think that everyone¡¯s memory is as bad as yours? Also, Shaojie will definitely call Xiaoxiao if he¡¯s on the way. How can he let his phone be shut off? This means that he¡¯s still busy, to the point when he isn¡¯t aware that his phone has been shut off.¡±
¡°What matter can be more important than Xiaoxiao?¡± Han Qiqing said unhappily.
Their conversation only made Mu Xiaoxiao feel more frustrated.
Mo Xiaomeng noticed Xiaoxiao¡¯s expression and said hurriedly, ¡°Alright, stop guessing. Didn¡¯t we want to make waternterns? Shall we go get the materials?¡±
Ye Sijue added, ¡°Doesn¡¯t the courtyard have a table? Let¡¯s order some food. We can eat and make the waternterns at the same time.¡±
¡°This is a good idea!¡± Han Qiqing was the first one to agree.
Thus, the group bought some snacks, materials for making waternterns, and ordered a few dishes from a grand hotel on the way back.
The materials for making waternterns were simple and ready-made. Once the materials were assembled together, all that was left to do was to write a wish on it.
In the courtyard, after the buying trip.
Song Shijun took out somenterns from somewhere and scattered them around, which made the atmosphere good.
Han Qiqingughed till she was leaning on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Haha, those who don¡¯t know better will think that it¡¯s Lunar New Year¡¯s! Look at those rednterns! My goodness, where did you get them from, Shijun?¡±
Song Shijun rolled his eyes at her. ¡°You just don¡¯t know how to appreciate them! Don¡¯t thenterns look simple and unadorned? This gives off such a Chinese feel!¡±
¡°That¡¯s why I said it really looks like¡ New Year¡¯s!¡± Han Qiqing rose from Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s shoulder. Cupping a fist with a hand, she said to him, ¡°May you have a prosperous New Year! Give me a red packet!¡±
Song Shijun whacked her hands away. ¡°Here¡¯s your spicy hot big red packet!¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s hands were numb from his whack. She jumped up in a huff and said, ¡°You jerk! You¡¯re going to die today! Stop right there!¡±
Thus, the two of them chased each other around the courtyard.
Mu Xiaoxiao and the other two looked at them andughed, as though they were watching an entertainment show.
An hourter, the dishes arrived and the sun had finally set.
Song Shijun ced thenterns around carefully, creating a nice atmosphere in the courtyard house.
This was Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s first experience with traditional culture. She liked it so much that she took lots of pictures, making Song Shijun very happy.

After the meal, it was now past eight o¡¯clock and Yin Shaojie was still nowhere to be seen.
Han Qiqing pulled Song Shijun aside stealthily and whispered, ¡°Do you have any other methods to contact Yin Shaojie? It¡¯s sote already. Is he really trying to stand Xiaoxiao up?¡±
They had agreed to release their waternterns together. It was one thing for Yin Shaojie to note, but not calling them at all felt a little off.
Based on how importantly Yin Shaojie treated Xiaoxiao, doing this was abnormal.
Song Shijun snuck a peek at Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°How do you think Xiaoxiao is feeling right now? Why do I feel as though¡ she seems to be okay?¡±
Han Qiqing red at him. ¡°Must she disy her unhappiness if she¡¯s unhappy? Xiaoxiao doesn¡¯t want our moods to be affected, so she will of course keep it bottled up in her heart.¡±
They were all out here for fun. She couldn¡¯t sour everyone¡¯s mood just because of her, right?
Song Shijun thought about it and agreed. ¡°What do we do now then? What can we do?¡±
¡°Let¡¯s help Xiaoxiao finish making antern first. You can make a call to City A and ask if anyone has any news about Yin Shaojie. I¡¯m afraid¡ he¡¯s gotten himself into trouble.¡± Han Qiqing voiced her concerns.
¡°Shut your jinxing mouth! You¡¯re the jinx here!¡± This time, it was Song Shijun who was ring at her.
¡°Tell me then, what¡¯s he so busy with that he¡¯s even ignoring his date with Xiaoxiao?¡± Han Qiqing couldn¡¯tprehend this.
Releasing their waternterns was something important that couples did, where they wished to be together forever.
However, now that Yin Shaojie was noting, wouldn¡¯t Xiaoxiao be left alone?
How could they release the waternterns like this?
Han Qiqing didn¡¯t feel like releasing waternterns now.
Song Shijun sighed and said, ¡°Shaojie has a reason for whatever he does. Even if we worry now, there¡¯s nothing we can do but wait. I personally feel that since he¡¯s already promised Xiaoxiao, he wouldn¡¯t stand her up.¡±
Han Qiqing chuckled coldly and pointed at the time on her phone to him. ¡°Look at what time it is now. If he¡¯s already on the way, he can still arrive before 12 o¡¯clock. However, he¡¯s not on the road right now! It would be meaningless if he arrives tomorrow.¡±
Today was thest day of the Water Lantern Festival.
Song Shijun didn¡¯t know how to exin things to her. ¡°Anyway, I trust Shaojie. It¡¯s called brotherly trust!¡±
¡°Scram!¡± Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t argue with him anymore, and aimed a kick towards him.
Han Qiqing walked over to Xiaoxiao¡¯s side and watched her make her waterntern. She looked serious that Qiqing didn¡¯t have the heart to disturb her.
After hesitating for a while, Han Qiqing decided to keep quiet and lowered her head and continued with her ownntern making.
Because Mo Xiaomeng had hurt her hand the night before, Ye Sijue didn¡¯t let her make her own, but made two himself.
Song Shijun held up the waterntern he had made and looked around proudly. In a boasting manner, he said, ¡°I didn¡¯t realize that not only am I handsome, I¡¯m also a genius at crafts!¡±
Han Qiqing made a vomiting expression.
¡°I think you should write what you¡¯ve just said on it as your wish. That way, you might be able to grant this impossible wish.¡±
Han Qiqing realized that Mu Xiaoxiao was not listening to her as she spoke. Afraid that she was feeling sad, she looked over to see what she was writing.
She saw that Mu Xiaoxiao had written ¡°I wish Yin Shaojie will be blessed with good health and a long life.¡±
Han Qiqing was stunned. ¡°Xiaoxiao, why did you¡¡±
She had written a wish for Yin Shaojie, but not herself.

Upon hearing her voice, Mu Xiaoxiao turned to look at her. Puzzled, she asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±
She turned back to look at her own words and frowned. In a gloomy tone, she asked, ¡°Is it that my handwriting¡¯s ugly?¡±
Because the words were written a little bigger, she couldn¡¯t really control her writing. Also, she hadn¡¯t written in Mandarin in a while.
Han Qiqing shook her head. ¡°No, it¡¯s not that. It looks nice, and anyway, we¡¯re not having a handwriting contest. Oh yeah, why did you write these?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed as she recited what she had wrote. ¡°¡®Good health and a long life¡¯ sounds somon, right?¡±
¡°Not really¡¡± Han Qiqing was trying to think of what to say.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t seem to mind. Her eyes were smiling as she exined, ¡°I think having good health and being safe is the most important thing right now, don¡¯t you think?¡±
If that person wasn¡¯t here, how long would she, as a person who was used to falling asleep in his arms, need to take to get used to her new situation?
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head and gazed at the dark night sky.
Even though the incident from the previous night had already passed, and Yin Shaojie was safe, she still remembered how she feltst night clearly.
There was nothing scarier than losing a loved one.
Thus, her biggest wish now was for him to be in good health and be safe, and never have such a thing happen to him ever again.
Han Qiqing nodded and agreed, ¡°Of course!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao turned back and continued with herntern making.
Han Qiqing looked at her smile. It didn¡¯t seem forced and she felt a little less worried.
She thought that maybe Xiaoxiao was stronger and more optimistic than she thought, and wouldn¡¯t let such a small matter affect her mood.
The waterntern wasn¡¯t difficult to make. Under everyone¡¯s noise, they finished theirnterns in half an hour.
They looked at each other, and Han Qiqing asked, ¡°Then¡ when shall we release our waternterns?¡±
She wasn¡¯t sure if Yin Shaojie was going toe.
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to think of this too. She lowered her head in silence for a while before saying, ¡°I¡¯ll go and make a call.¡±
She turned around and made the call, but it didn¡¯t get through like before.
Mu Xiaoxiao squeezed her phone.
Mo Xiaomeng looked at her and said a little worriedly, ¡°Xiaoxiao, how about¡ Let¡¯s stay here and wait. Yin Shaojie will arrive soon.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Shaojie wouldn¡¯t stand you up. I believe that he¡¯ll some. Let¡¯s wait some more,¡± Song Shijun said as well.
Han Qiqing added, ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s still early now anyway. Releasing a waterntern doesn¡¯t take that long, right? Also, there must be many people who are releasing their waternterns by the river right now. Let¡¯s not fight with the crowd but go after most of them have released their waternterns.¡±
Ye Sijue nodded slightly too. ¡°It¡¯s still early.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao knew that everyone was doing this for her. She smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay if we don¡¯t wait for him. He might be busy right now. Let¡¯s go to the river. It¡¯s more fun when there¡¯s a crowd.¡±
Many people gathered during the Water Lantern Festival mostly because there was hype. The Chinese loved hype.
Mu Xiaoxiao was sad but she didn¡¯t want her situation to ruin the mood.
She couldn¡¯t help but think of how happy the six of them had been while camping by the valley during the autumn outing.

It would be nice if all of them were together, even if they weren¡¯t doing anything.
However, there were only five of them now.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head to clear it so that she wouldn¡¯t feel even sadder.
She lifted the two waternterns that she had made and beamed at everyone, ¡°Let¡¯s go to the river now. There should be the most people there right now.¡±
The rest looked at each other. Now that she had spoken they couldn¡¯t contest it.
The bunch of them walked out of the courtyard house.
The courtyard house was actually very close to the most bustling area of Nanxiang Old Town. Thus, it only took a few steps to see the excited crowd.
Everyone in the crowd seemed to be holding a waterntern. Some of them were cute, while others looked traditional, and they were all distinctive and unique.
Mo Xiaomeng let out an exmation, and her mouth was open so wide an egg could fit in it.
¡°There are even more people than yesterday night!¡±
Han Qiqing said, ¡°It¡¯s because it¡¯s Friday today. Everyone¡¯s on break and have hurried over, so that¡¯s why the crowd is so huge.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng was a little shocked. She looked around and asked, ¡°Where should we go then? The riverside seems to be filled with people and it doesn¡¯t look like there¡¯s any space left.¡±
They could only see a mass of darkness in front of them. It was made up of people¡¯s heads and the group couldn¡¯t even see individual humans and waternterns.
Song Shijun said, ¡°There¡¯s no rush to release thenterns. Let¡¯s hang around to absorb the hype and we¡¯ll release them after some of the people have left.
Everyone agreed on this. Thus, they all walked into the heart of the crowd.
Even though this was an old town, there were a few modern buildings added in the past few years. There was arge square built in the middle of the river.
¡°Someone¡¯s releasing Kong Ming Lanterns! Should we buy some and release them too? There are people ying with fireworks too! I feel like ying with them too,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said happily as she pointed at her surroundings, her eyes sparkling with joy.
Han Qiqing and Song Shijun shot each other a look. They were both a little worried about Xiaoxiao.
Han Qiqing leaned close to Song Shijun¡¯s ear and said, ¡°Is Xiaoxiao trying to force herself to be happy? How can she still smile when Yin Shaojie isn¡¯t around?¡±
Song Shijun replied, ¡°Do you really have to ask this? Of course she¡¯s forcing herself to smile. Let¡¯s not confront her and let her smile. It¡¯s better than seeing her look sad.¡±
¡°Yeah, you¡¯re right!¡± Han Qiqing agreed and walked up to hold Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand.
¡°Alright, Xiaoxiao, I feel like releasing Kong Ming Lanterns too. I remember how a huge crowd released Kong Ming Lanterns together when I came herest year. That sight was magnificent! I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s going to happen this year too.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she said, ¡°I don¡¯t know, but I hope it happens. I¡¯ve never seen such a sight. It really does seem magnificent when I think about it.¡±
Han Qiqing turned to look at Song Shijun. ¡°Oi, do you have any ideas to get more people to release Kong Ming Lanterns?¡±
¡°Hmm, what can I do?¡± Song Shijun scratched his head and said. ¡°Unless¡ we buy all the Kong Ming Lanterns, gift them to passersby and ask them to release them all at the same time. That¡¯s a possibility.¡±
Upon hearing this suggestion, Han Qiqing¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Wow, how many Kong Ming Lanterns would that be?¡±
Kong Ming Lanterns were actually very cheap if bought online, but their price was inted more than tenfold in the hands of the street vendors.
It wasn¡¯t that they didn¡¯t have the money to buy them, but buying them all at such a price was just wasteful!

Upon hearing their conversation, Mo Xiaomeng looked around the gigantic square. It was a really humongous square that could hold thousands of people.
If thousands of people released Kong Ming Lanternsat the same time¡
She thought about it. That scene would be magnificent!
Ye Sijue looked at her expression. He thought that her slightly opened mouth and her sparkling eyes looked cute and asked, ¡°Do you want to see it?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng returned to her senses. ¡°See what?¡±
¡°Kong Ming Lanterns.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng understood what he was trying to say and shook her head quickly. ¡°There¡¯s no need! Actually, we can just buy a few each and release them. It wouldn¡¯t be good for the environment if so many people released them, right?¡±
And it was so expensive!
It would cost tens of thousands of dors just to release some Kong Ming Lanterns once. It seemed wasteful.
Ye Sijue replied, ¡°Releasing Kong Ming Lanterns does have a little impact on the environment, but since this is a traditional activity here in Nanxiang Old Town, the relevant authorities have set up precautionary measures, so it won¡¯t be a problem. Whatever makes people happy goes.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng continued to shake her head. She was afraid that if she relented he would really spend money to buy all the Kong Ming Lanterns so that everyone could release them.
It would be a beautiful sight, but she thought about it and decided to pass.
¡°Aish, this square is a little too big, isn¡¯t it? We¡¯ve been walking for a while now so why haven¡¯t we reached the end?¡± Han Qiqingined.
Song Shijun said, ¡°How can it fit so many people if its not big?¡±
¡°Can¡¯t I do that? Go away, I don¡¯t want to talk to you!¡± Han Qiqing gave him a disgusted look and even aimed a kick at him so that he wouldn¡¯t be able to go near her and Xiaoxiao and could only keep his distance.
Song Shijun looked aggrieved.
With her arm around Xiaoxiao¡¯s, Han Qiqing took tworge steps forward and left him behind.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at them, amused.
She suddenly thought of something. Looking at Han Qiqing, she leaned close to her ear and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, ¡°Qiqing, there¡¯s something that I should have told you. I¡¯m sorry it took so long for me to.¡±
¡°What is it?¡± Han Qiqing blinked and looked at her, puzzled.
Mu Xiaoxiao tightened her hold on her hand and paused before saying, ¡°It¡¯s about Lu Yichen¡¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s expression underwent a change instantly.
¡°Xiaoxiao, you don¡¯t actually have to force yourself. You don¡¯t have to tell me about it. I¡¯m not rted to him, and I don¡¯t have to know about whatever he does and where he is now,¡± Han Qiqing was smiling as she said this, but her eyes were trying to hide her pain.
Mu Xiaoxiao said directly, ¡°He¡¯s gone to America with his mother for her treatment.¡±
Han Qiqing was shocked. ¡°Ah? What happened?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t feel like she should talk about Mama Mu¡¯s illness, so she only said, ¡°I didn¡¯t tell you about this before because I thought that this was between Lu Yichen and I. Later, I called him and asked about it, and he said that I could tell you. Afterwards I tried to find you in school to tell you, but some stuff happened and I let it drag until now. Sorry, Qiqing.¡±
¡°Oh, so that¡¯s it¡¡± Han Qiqing smiled at her. ¡°It¡¯s okay, what you did was right. How¡¯s his mum¡¯s condition right now? Is it serious?¡±
She had to go to America to treat her illness, so it should be very serious, right?
Mu Xiaoxiao hadn¡¯t been contacting Lu Yichen these past few days and thus didn¡¯t know the specifics.
¡°It¡¯s not serious at the moment, so she wouldn¡¯t be undergoing an operation so soon. I haven¡¯t heard from him recently either. I¡¯ll ask about it in a few days.¡±

¡°Yeah, I hope his mom gets well soon.¡±
Han Qiqing remembered what Xiaoxiao had written as her wish earlier. Looking around, she said, ¡°I want to buy a ready-made waterntern.¡±
She wanted to write a wish for Lu Yichen¡¯s mom to get well soon.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled, as though she knew what Han Qiqing was thinking.
They had just arrived at the middle of the square.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked around, trying to help her find one. Pointing to a store that was far away, she said, ¡°They should sell it, right? But it¡¯s so far away. How about we find a street vendor? They should sell waternterns.¡±
Han Qiqing replied, ¡°But the ones they sell don¡¯t look very nice. The ones the stores sell are nicer.¡±
The street vendors sold goods of an inferior quality, and the stores sold goods of good quality, which meant that thetter had higher prices.
¡°What should we do¡¡±
When the pair were thinking about their dilemma, someone shouted suddenly, ¡°What¡¯s that? Is that a ne?¡±
Tremors passed through the crowd.
¡°It¡¯s a ne! It¡¯s a helicopter!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao and the rest also heard the loud whirring. It wasing from the helicopter des.
Han Qiqing looked up excitedly. ¡°Why is there a helicopter?¡±
The rest of them looked up towards the night sky as well.
It was indeed a helicopter, and it was flying closer.
Han Qiqing widened her eyes in disbelief and eximed, ¡°It¡¯s really a helicopter! What¡¯s happening?¡±
There were many people in the square. Because the helicopter was too eye-catching, almost everyone looked up at it.
The helicopter neared them very quickly.
Everyone thought that this helicopter was just passing by them.
However, the helicopter hovered above the square.
The crowd was dumbstruck.
Can you imagine it? The sight of a few thousand people being stunned at the same time looked quite spectacr.
Just then, Ye Sijue noticed something and his lips curled into a smile. He looked at Song Shijun beside him and asked, ¡°Have you seen it?¡±
Song Shijun turned his head. He had a simr smile as Ye Sijue¡¯s smile on his face and nodded. ¡°I¡¯ve seen it.¡±
There was an insignia on the helicopter¡¯s body.
Both of them knew who the person on the ne was instantly.
Mo Xiaomeng looked at them curiously and asked, puzzled, ¡°What have you seen?¡±
Song Shijun gave a sudden shout, ¡°Everyone¡¯s here!¡±
His voice made Han Qiqing turn to look at him. ¡°What did you say?¡±
Song Shijun walked over to her side smugly and pointed to the helicopter above as he smiled mysteriously. ¡°I¡¯ll bet you that the helicopter willnd here.¡±
¡°Land here?! What kind of joke is that!¡± Han Qiqing was shocked.
Song Shijun said, ¡°Why can¡¯t it? This square is so big that it has more than enough room to spare. Wanna bet?¡±
Han Qiqing looked at him suspiciously. ¡°Do you know something I don¡¯t?¡±
Song Shijun was going to tease her for a bit more, but he saw Xiaoxiao, who was beside her. Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes looked a little sad.
He couldn¡¯t bear to go on with his ns, and instead said suggestively, ¡°Guess who¡¯s on that helicopter?¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s eyes widened and she realized something from Song Shijun¡¯s gaze.
A thought shed across her brain.
¡°Could it be¡¡±
Song Shijun elbowed her to stop her from saying it. He said in a mysterious voice, ¡°Let¡¯s give someone a surprise.¡±
Chapter 917 - Wishing to Give Herself to Him (5)

Han Qiqing wasn¡¯t sure if what he had said was true. She was afraid that if he was wrong, Xiaoxiao would be disappointed again.
Song Shijun walked towards Mu Xiaoxiao and told her, ¡°Xiaoxiao, give me the waterntern.¡±
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little confused, she still passed the waterntern to him. ¡°What are you doing?¡±
¡°Helping you carry it,¡± Song Shijun smiled as he said.
Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to get it back. ¡°It¡¯s okay, I can carry it myself.¡±
¡°You won¡¯t be able to carry it yourselfter,¡± Song Shijun said, his wordsden with meaning.
Just then, the helicopter descended gradually near them.
The helicopter des were noisy, and the huge gusts of wind generated forced many people back, so arge space was created in an instant.
Quickly, someone else noticed that the helicopter was about tond.
¡°The helicopter is about tond! Everyone make way!¡±
¡°Goodness, how can theynd here?¡±
¡°Who¡¯s up there? They have such style! It¡¯s so cool!¡±
Some people were afraid, and squeezed through the crowd to get away.
There were more people who were curious, however, and they wanted to know who the person in the helicopter was, how they flew a helicopter over, and why they wouldnd on the square.
Even for the locals of Nanxiang Old Town it was their first time seeing such a sight.
The people from inside the stores in the square also ran out to see what the hype was all about.
The helicopter gradually descended under the gaze of the crowd. After itnded, its des did not stop, but continued spinning.
Made ufortable by the rapid gusts of wind, Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to take two steps back.
However, Song Shijun pushed her to the front.
¡°Stand closer!¡± he urged.
¡°Why¡¡±
Just as Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled, Han Qiqing hit her hand a few times, and began shouting excitedly.
¡°Its Yin Shaojie! Yin Shaojie! That jerk! He¡¯s finally arrived!¡±
And he even arrived in such a cool and mboyant manner.
Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t help but to give Yin Shaojie two big thumbs up in her heart.
It was simply too cool!
Upon hearing these three words, Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked and stood rooted to the spot.
She looked towards the helicopter anxiously.
As expected, a tall and straight silhouette jumped out from the helicopter. He seemed to know where she was standing and his gaze was locked on her figure.
It was really him¡
He came. He didn¡¯t stand her up.
Looking at Yin Shaojie, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes teared up.
She ignored how ufortable the gusts of wind from the des were making her feel, and took off at a sprint towards him.
Yin Shaojie had only taken two steps when he saw her charge over. He smiled and ran over to her.
The pair collided into each other. Mu Xiaoxiao leapt into his embrace eagerly and hugged his waist tightly.
Her voice sounded choked as she said, ¡°You came¡¡±
She had already cast off her expectations and thought that he wouldn¡¯te.
It was really unexpected that he would arrive in such a manner.
Yin Shaojie wrapped his arms tightly around her and pressed her into his embrace. His low, maic voice apologized into her ear, ¡°Sorry, I¡¯mte. You¡¯ve been waiting for me, haven¡¯t you?¡±
Because he had almost stood her up, Mu Xiaoxiao had forced herself to be strong. When she heard hisst sentence, her tears finally began to spill from her eyes.
She buried her head into his embrace and shook her little head. In a tearful voice, she said, ¡°You¡¯re notte¡¡±
You¡¯re here, and that¡¯s enough.

She thought that everything else was unimportant now.
So long he was by her side nothing was important anymore.
Mu Xiaoxiao pressed her face into his shirt and wiped her tears on it. Feeling his body heat and listening to his steady heartbeat made her empty heart fill up instantly.
The helicopter beside them rose up into the air gradually and left the square.
Han Qiqing and the rest ran over.
Han Qiqing grumbled at Yin Shaojie, ¡°Yin Shaojie, why¡¯re you only here now? Really, we thought that you were going to stand us up. Do you know how long Xiaoxiao and the rest of us have been waiting for you?¡±
Song Shijun elbowed her to stop her rant. ¡°He¡¯s here now, right? There¡¯s still time left.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao, who was leaning into Yin Shaojie¡¯s embrace, turned around and said, ¡°Yeah, him being here is good enough.¡±
Song Shijun looked at Yin Shaojie and couldn¡¯t help but tease, ¡°Bro, can you not use such a cool method of arrival? It¡¯s over the top!¡±
Those who didn¡¯t know better would think that he was shooting some kind of American blockbuster.
Yin Shaojie looped an arm around Mu Xiaoxiao and exined smilingly, ¡°Driving over would take too long.¡±
¡°What a speed demon!¡± Song Shijun shook his head as he sighed.
The crowd around them had not yete back to their senses.
How did such a handsome fellowe down from the helicopter?
There was even an elegant and refined beauty who ran over and lept into the handsome man¡¯s arms. Their embracing posture was a little too sweet, no?
There were even people who were wondering if they were shooting an idol show. What a bunch of beautiful and gorgeous people!
There was way too much attention on them, and Mo Xiaomeng felt a little ufortable. She tugged at Ye Sijue¡¯s shirt surreptitiously, and leaning into his ear she said, ¡°There are so many people looking at us. Let¡¯s go.¡±
Han Qiqing heard what she had said. Even though Qiqing was used to getting lots of attention in school, there were too many people giving them attention this time.
She said, ¡°It¡¯s almost time, and we¡¯re all here now. Let¡¯s go and release the waternterns.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao finally beamed her brightest smile of the night. ¡°Sure! Let¡¯s go and release the waternterns!¡±
¡°Oh yeah, oh yeah, we still have to release Kong Ming Lanterns!¡±
Thus, the bunch of people walked towards the river.
¡°Xiaoxiao, here are your waternterns.¡± Song Shijun handed her the waternterns in his hand.
Yin Shaojie reached out to take them. Smiling at Mu Xiaoxiao, he said, ¡°Is one of them mine?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thumbed her nose at him and harrumphed. ¡°None of them are yours! Everyone made their own. There¡¯s none for you, because that¡¯s what you get for being absent!¡±
¡°What am I supposed to do then?¡± Yin Shaojie tightened his grip and pulled her close. He leaned his head forward and looked as though he was about to kiss her.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face reddened a little and she put a hand against his chest. Frowning, she looked at him and said, ¡°What are you doing? Trying to seduce me?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Yin Shaojie lowered his head and gave her a rewarding peck on the lips.
¡°Oi!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pushed him away. She red at him to stop his nonsense ¡ª there were a lot of people around.
Yin Shaojie looked at her with his dark eyes and said pitifully, ¡°Are you going to give one to me? If you don¡¯t I won¡¯t have any waternterns to release. What would be the point of meing here?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him with displeasure. ¡°Oh? So you came here just to release the waternterns?¡±
And not for her?
Chapter 919 - Wishing to Give Herself to Him (7)
Chapter 919: Wishing to Give Herself to Him (7)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Yin Shaojie held up one of her little hands. Smiling, he said, ¡°Didn¡¯t wee here to release waternterns together? If I don¡¯t have a waterntern, what can I do? It would be time-consuming if I were to make a new one right now.¡±
Even though he could buy a ready-made one, making one himself would have more meaning.
The tradition in Nanxiang Old Town was to release one¡¯s own handmade waterntern. This showed more sincerity in the wish-making, which meant that one¡¯s wishes would be granted.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned her face away and hinted softly, ¡°Can you beg me? Just beg me to give one to you.¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s smiled deepened. So that was what the girl was trying to say.
He walked behind her and embraced her with his muscr arms. Leaning his lips close to her ear, he said in a mesmerizing tone, ¡°My great wifey, oh please I beg of you, please give me a waterntern, alright?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao then smiled, pleased.
The smile on her pursed lips almost reached her ear. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll give you a waterntern on ount of you pleading so pitifully for it.¡±
¡°Thank you, great wifey, for the reward!¡± Yin Shaojie said, and even gave her a peck on her fair cheek.
Song Shijun couldn¡¯t watch anymore and said deliberately, ¡°Are you done? You should also know your limits when abusing single dogs. If you continue, I¡¯ll call the police!¡±
Han Qiqing rolled her eyes at him and squeezed between them as per habit, forcing Song Shijun to one side.
¡°You should light yours first. I don¡¯t even know if you can light yours with the way you made it. I told you to make it wider.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie ignored them.
Yin Shaojie received the pen to write his wish on the waterntern.
Mu Xiaoxiao stood next to him, trying to see what he was going to write.
¡°What did you write?¡± Yin Shaojie asked her and gestured for her to show her waterntern to him.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and held up her waterntern.
Yin Shaojie saw the line of words and his gaze trembled. He looked at her.
It was because ofst night¡¯s ident, right?
This was why she wrote that she wished him to be blessed with good health and a long life.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze softened and he really wanted to kiss her. However, he didn¡¯t do it. He still had an opportunity at night and it would be no different than giving her some tender loving careter.
His smile deepened and he lowered his head to write on the waterntern.
¡°What are you going to write?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao craned her neck over.
Yin Shaojie wrote very quickly. His handwriting looked way nicerpared to Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s, and his strokes were so nimble that he was done in a sh.
¡°Hurry up and show me. What did you write?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was extremely curious.
¡°Don¡¯t rush, I¡¯ll show you.¡± Yin Shaojie wrapped a hand around her slim waist to prevent her from falling into the river from over-excitement.
He showed her the waterntern.
Mu Xiaoxiao read the natural and unrestrained handwriting.
On one side were both their names, and on the other side was written: ¡°To grow old together and be together eternally.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled till her eyes resembled crescents. ¡°Be together eternally? You sound so greedy.¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded seriously, ¡°Humans should be a little greedy.¡±
He didn¡¯t just want to stay with her for his entire life. To him, one lifetime was too few. If reincarnation was real he would want to be with her for every single one of his lifetimes.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she read the written words, ¡°¡®Grow old together¡¯¡ Isn¡¯t this wish a little toomon? We¡¯re still so young and you¡¯re already writing for so far into the future.¡±
Chapter 920 - Wishing to Give Herself to Him (8)
Chapter 920: Wishing to Give Herself to Him (8)

Yin Shaojie had an arm around her. They stood so close together that there was no gap between them.
He said, ¡°Isn¡¯t it all because of what you wrote? If I live a long life, won¡¯t you live a long life too if I write ¡®Grow old together?¡¯ Isn¡¯t that a good thing?¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t say that was a bad thing!¡± Mu Xiaoxiaoughed happily.
This time, it was Han Qiqing who couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. She walked towards Song Shijun and stood beside him to escape the sparkling couple in love.
¡°Alright, alright, let¡¯s release the waternterns!¡±
There were already many waternterns in the river, and it looked beautiful.
The group bent down and ced their waternterns on the water.
Song Shijun said anxiously, ¡°Wait for me, I haven¡¯t lit mine!¡±
Han Qiqing looked at him speechlessly. ¡°You¡¯re so troublesome! Let me help you with that. If you open this up won¡¯t it fix the problem?¡±
Han Qiqing lit up his waterntern as she spoke.
Song Shijun put the waterntern into the water hurriedly and stood together with them.
Their sixnterns floated towards the middle of the river together, just like how the six of them were a clique that would never separate.
There were many waternterns of all sorts floating on the river¡¯s surface and the sight was really pretty.
Even though Mo Xiaomeng had already seen this the day before, she was still moved by the sight. Her liking for China increased a little more.
She took out her phone hurriedly and took a picture for a memento.
Like that, she would be able to look at this picture and reminisce about the good memories she had in China when she returned to America.
Mo Xiaomeng looked at Ye Sijue beside her. Stealthily, she moved her phone away a little while moving closer to him at the same time, and took a picture at a suitable angle.
It was then that Ye Sijue noticed that something was up and turned around.
Mo Xiaomeng couldn¡¯t retract her hand fast enough and was caught by him.
She stuck out her tongue internally. She had tried to take the photo in secret because Ye Sijue didn¡¯t look like type to like photos.
¡°You want to take photos?¡± he asked softly.
¡°Yeah.¡± Mo Xiaomeng noticed that he didn¡¯t seem to mind and nodded.
¡°Just take however many you like to. I didn¡¯t say you couldn¡¯t take any.¡± Ye Sijue smiled at her and even wrapped an arm around her so that they leaned against each other intimately.
Mo Xiaomeng quickly raised her phone and took a picture.
¡°Let¡¯s take another one,¡± Ye Sijue said. Before she could react, he moved his handsome face close while reaching out to cup her chin silently and turning it towards him.
His pretty lips pressed a kiss on her soft, pink ones.
Mo Xiaomeng was shocked, but still pressed her finger down on the camera and took a picture of it by habit.
Thus, the moment was recorded like this.
After Mo Xiaomeng returned to America in the future, she would look at the picture everyday involuntarily and think about him.
Beside them, Song Shijun sighed heavily.
The couples were abusing single dogs on either side, and Han Qiqing and he were the poor things that were stuck in the middle!
He reached out and held Han Qiqing,ining, ¡°Qiqing, let¡¯s call the police!¡±
¡°Scram!¡± Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t be bothered with him and elbowed his chest.
¡°Qiqing¡¡± Unexpectedly, Song Shijun tightened his grip and even leaned his head against her shoulder.
Han Qiqing rolled her eyes at him. ¡°What are you trying to do?¡±
¡°I think we should hug each other and stand up to them!¡± Song Shijun said righteously.
Han Qiqing replied, ¡°¡ Would you believe me if I said I¡¯m going to kick you into the river?¡±
Song Shijun believed that she was capable of doing such a thing and nodded his head.

¡°Let go,¡± Han Qiqingmanded.
Song Shijun let go obediently.
Beside them, Mu Xiaoxiao wasughing. ¡°Let¡¯s get someone to help us take a group photo. How does that sound?¡±
¡°Sure!¡± Han Qiqing was the first one to raise her hands and agree.
The ability to take photographs was one of the greatest advances in technology. It could take a snapshot of a moment in time for people to look at and reminisce about in the future.
Mu Xiaoxiao found a passerby to help them take photos.
The six of them stood in a row. Behind them were the waternterns they had released and beyond that was arge batch of releasednterns that looked very pretty.
The camera clicked.
The beauty of the moment was captured.
¡
Because Yin Shaojie had not yet eaten, the group went to eat supper.
After supper, it was already 11 o¡¯clock when they came out to take a walk.
However, there were still many people in the square.
Han Qiqing had on a cryptic expression as she smiled and said, ¡°Walk on, walk on, let¡¯s go and release Kong Ming Lanterns!¡±
¡°It¡¯s sote already. Shouldn¡¯t we go back to sleep?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao yawned. She leaned her face against Yin Shaojie, looking tired.
Han Qiqing urged, ¡°We can go and sleep after releasing thenterns. It¡¯s thest day of Water Lantern Festival today. How can we not release Kong Ming Lanterns? And look, there are so many people releasing thenterns.¡±
Kong Ming Lanterns floated up to the sky intermittently, lighting up the night sky.
¡°Alright, let¡¯s do it then.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to spoil the mood and she saw that Xiaomeng looked like she was interested in it too.
Han Qiqing said deliberately, ¡°It¡¯s a pity that we won¡¯t be able to see how spectacr it is when a few thousand people release Kong Ming Lanterns.¡±
Just then, Mu Xiaoxiao realized something. She looked towards a person in the near distance curiously, and said, ¡°Is that person giving out Kong Ming Lanterns?¡±
Han Qiqing looked at the time and shouted excitedly, ¡°It¡¯s almost 11 o¡¯clock!¡±
What¡¯s up with 11 o¡¯clock?
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her, puzzled, before realizing that Qiqing was up to something.
¡°The Kong Ming Lanterns are here.¡± Song Shijun took a few Kong Ming Lanterns and distributed it to the rest.
Han Qiqing urged anxiously, ¡°Hurry, hurry! Hurry up and light them up! it¡¯s almost 11 o¡¯clock!¡±
¡°What¡¯s up with 11 o¡¯clock?¡± Song Shijun asked. He was puzzled as well.
They had one Kong Ming Lantern to two people each. Mu Xiaoxiao obviously shared one with Yin Shaojie, while Mo Xiaomeng and Ye Sijue shared one, leaving the rest to pair up.
Mo Xiaomeng said, ¡°I saw other people write their wishes on it. Should we do that too?¡±
¡°Yeah!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said and nodded.
Han Qiqing was the only one who was concerned about the time and urged them to hurry, ¡°Hurry up and write.¡±
¡°What about you? Are you not writing anything?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her.
¡°I¡¯ve already done that for the waterntern. I don¡¯t have to do it again, right?¡± Han Qiqing was indifferent to it. What she was concerned about was the scene that was going toe next.
¡°Alright, I¡¯m done.¡±
Under Han Qiqing¡¯s urging, the rest wrote down their wishes quickly.
Han Qiqing shouted, ¡°Shijun, light the fire!¡±
¡°Roger!¡± Song Shijun lit everyntern.
They held up the Kong Ming Lanterns in their pairs. Thenterns heated up and rose up into the night sky.
¡°It¡¯s 11 o¡¯clock!¡± Han Qiqing shouted excitedly, ¡°Let go, everyone!¡±
The six of them released their Kong Ming Lanterns, and they floated up to the skyzily.
Mu Xiaoxiao realized that there were a lot of people on the square who were releasing Kong Ming Lanterns at the same time.
Thus, countless Kong Ming Lanterns floated up to the sky in unison.
People who hadn¡¯t seen this sight in person wouldn¡¯t never understand how beautiful the sight was.

¡°It¡¯s pretty¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked up and admired the beautiful sight. Her pupils were dted and she didn¡¯t even want to blink, staring fixedly at the spectacr sight.
Yin Shaojie, who had an arm around her, pressed his lips against her hair and said, ¡°It is pretty.¡±
However, the most beautiful thing right now is still you.
The corners of his mouth held a soft smile.
On the other hand, Han Qiqing was jumping around excitedly. ¡°It¡¯s so, so beautiful! It¡¯s simply too beautiful!¡±
She even held onto Song Shijun¡¯s arm and shook it violently.
Song Shijun was unable to take her torture and chuckled bitterly. ¡°Stop shaking me!¡±
¡°It¡¯s too beautiful! Don¡¯t you think it¡¯ beautiful?¡±
¡°It is, of course it is. But you can¡¯t just shake me around like this.¡±
Song Shijun looked at the night sky, now resplendent with bright lights.
He admitted that the sight was shockingly beautiful.
Mo Xiaomeng was also stunned. Her hands were inteced below her chin and she stared at this incredibly beautiful sight in shock.
The crowd in the square also eximed in amazement as well. They were all looking up and recording the sky with their phones.
After a short while, the Kong Ming Lanterns floated far away.
It was now veryte and the crowd began to disperse.
A satisfied Han Qiqing said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go back and sleep!¡±
Song Shijun walked beside her. cing a hand on her shoulder, he whispered, ¡°You¡¯re so sly. You tricked Shaojie into spending money so that your selfish desires could be fulfilled.¡±
That¡¯s right. Someone had bought thousands of Kong Ming Lanterns for everyone so that all of them could be released at the same time.
Han Qiqing shot him a re. ¡°I¡¯m doing this to teach him how to make Xiaoxiao happy!¡±
Song Shijun nodded. ¡°But that was worth it.¡±
Once anyone had seen such a beautiful sight, it would remain in their hearts forever. It was something that was hard to forget.
Han Qiqing gave azy stretch. ¡°I¡¯m so tired. Let¡¯s go home and sleep!¡±
It had been such a happy day!
The six of them talked andughed as they returned to the courtyard house.
¡
In the room.
Mu Xiaoxiao was about to take her clothes out from her luggage and take a shower, but Yin Shaojie pulled her aside. ¡°I have something to talk to you about.¡±
¡°What?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him uprehendingly.
¡°It¡¯s about Su Lin.¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze was a little heavy.
Upon seeing him like this, Mu Xiaoxiao understood that things weren¡¯t looking good. She guessed, ¡°You arrived sote because of Su Lin?¡±
Yin Shaojie paused momentarily. He didn¡¯t answer her question, but walked her over to the nearby sofa.
Mu Xiaoxiao was curious about another thing. ¡°Where¡¯s your phone? Why was your phone switched off? I tried to call you so many times.¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled bitterly. He took out his phone from his pocket and showed it to her.
¡°Didn¡¯t we stay in the hospital yesterday? I didn¡¯t charge my phone so it ran out of battery really soon.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded to show that she knew. Her phone had also ran out of battery, and she had only managed to charge it in the car.
He hade in a helicopter, and it seemed like he hadn¡¯t been able to charge his phone up there.
¡°What did you and Uncle Su talk about when you met?¡± She knew that was what he wanted to talk about, and thus took the initiative to ask.
Yin Shaojie seemed to be deliberating over what to say.
If he wanted to be honest, he had to tell her what had happened between Su Lin and him in the past.
Actually, he had never intended to keep this from her.
Even if he and Su Lin had dated before, he didn¡¯t feel like it was something that he should hide for it was in the past.
He only hid it from her not because he was afraid that she wouldn¡¯t be happy.
It was because¡

Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze became heavy and there was an indescribable emotion in his eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat cross-legged on the sofa, looking like an attentive primary school student who was waiting for him to give an exnation.
¡°This incident is a littleplicated. I¡¯ll tell you about it slowly¡¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice was grave.
In a concise manner he told her why Su Lin was mentally unsound and how it was rted to him.
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. ¡°How did this happen¡ Su Lin was actually¡¡±
Raped? As a girl, she couldn¡¯t imagine what would happen if something like that happened to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart tightened involuntarily, and she felt sympathetic towards Su Lin.
¡°No wonder she became mentally ill. She must have encountered something scary. It¡¯s just that¡ Why do you say that this incident is rted to you?
Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression was serious. He reached out and held her little hand, wrapping it in his huge ones tightly as he ced it in front of him.
¡°There¡¯s something I want to tell you. Can you not be angry at me? I wasn¡¯t trying to hide it from you.¡±
¡°What is it? Tell me about it honestly.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart was lifted by his attitude. She couldn¡¯t promise not to be angry because she still didn¡¯t know what it was. However, if it challenged her limits she couldn¡¯t guarantee that she wouldn¡¯t be angry.
So¡ Did he do something that was unforgivable to her?
Yin Shaojie looked into her eyes and said, ¡°Su Lin thinks¡ that I¡¯ve dated her for a few days, but that isn¡¯t true. I only apanied her for a few days because of some reasons. I thought that she would understand my attitude, know that I didn¡¯t like her, and give up. But I had never imagined that¡ the opposite would happen.
¡°You¡ dated her before?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s expression was frozen.
Perhaps it was because she had guessed so before, but she didn¡¯t feel like it was something that she couldn¡¯t ept without difficulty. It didn¡¯t challenge her limits, at least.
¡°It doesn¡¯t count as dating!¡± Yin Shaojie denied this stubbornly. ¡°Anyway, can you believe me? I had never thought about dating her, even if I had¡ fooled around in the past. You know the reason for that too, right? I could dump those girls whenever I wanted, but Su Lin can be considered a friend that I know and I don¡¯t even like her. How could I have dated her? Xiaoxiao, you won¡¯t be angry, right?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not angry.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao blinked. She felt likeughing at his anxiety from trying to rify his actions.
¡°You¡¯re really not angry?¡± Yin Shaojie stared fixedly into her eyes, as though he was trying to see through her.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and took his hand into hers. ¡°I¡¯m really not angry. What happened next? Continue the story.¡±
Upon seeing that she didn¡¯t pursue the reasons for it, Yin Shaojie let out a sigh of relief and proceeded to tell her about Uncle Su¡¯s request.
This time, Mu Xiaoxiao was silent, and her face didn¡¯t look very happy.
¡°What did you say? Did you agree?¡±
She felt a little frustrated.
Even though he wasn¡¯t the direct cause of Su Lin bing like this, he was still partially responsible for it. Also, this was a request from an elder, and she knew that with Yin Shaojie¡¯s personality he wouldn¡¯t reject him tly.
However¡
She didn¡¯t like it!
Why should her man pretend to be together with Su Lin? Why should he pacify another woman like that? She didn¡¯t want that to happen!
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao knew that this was only being done as ast resort, she was still unhappy about this.

Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face crumpled. She thought, Am I being too selfish by thinking like this?
Yin Shaojie looked at her sad little face and his heart ached. He inteced both their hands together, palm to palm, transferring the feelings he had for her.
He said, ¡°I told him¡¡±
He repeated his answer to her verbatim.
At that time.
He told Uncle Su, ¡°I can promise you that¡ but Uncle Su, have you thought about it before? If you do this, you will only hurt Su Lin and it¡¯s not going to help her illness. If you want her to get better, you should get her to let me go and not make me amodate her or she¡¯ll be even more obsessed with me.¡±
Upon hearing this, Uncle Su was rooted to the spot for a long time, as though he had been shocked by his words.
¡°But¡ she doesn¡¯t want to go to America now! We really have no other choice! If she stays in China her illness will only get worse and we don¡¯t know what else to do.
If it was not as ast resort why would he bow down and beg a junior like this?
Yin Shaojie inteced his fingers on the table and looked at him gravely, ¡°Uncle Su, I can help you, but you have to do it my way. Are you willing to cooperate with me?¡±
Uncle Su was stunned as he looked at the youth before him.
Somehow, somewhere along the line, the youngsters had all grown up and lost their childishness. They had be as steady and reliable as an adult.
After a pause, Uncle Su looked down and sighed. ¡°Shaojie, I¡¯ll trouble you then.¡±
¡
After hearing Yin Shaojie¡¯s words, Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. ¡°So, you didn¡¯t promise him? Have you thought about how Su Lin can be cured?¡±
However, with this answer, the difort in her heart had disappeared.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. ¡°I¡¯m not a doctor, so how am I supposed to cure her? Actually, what Uncle Su wants is just to send her to America. It¡¯s just that both he and his wife love Su Lin too much that they don¡¯t dare to force her to go there. Since they can¡¯t do that, I¡¯ll take over for them.¡±
¡°Ah? So your method is to get her to America by force? But¡ what if she rebels?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was a little worried about this and she felt that this method wasn¡¯t really risk-free.
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Not like that, of course. Actually, I haven¡¯t thought about it either.¡±
¡°You promised him without thinking it through?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. She wondered if this responsibility was too burdensome.
He seemed to know what she was thinking about. Smiling easily, he said, ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not thatplicated. Think about it another way. If Su Lin continues this what will happen if she goes crazy and does something bad to you? To us, she¡¯s ultimately a time bomb. Now that I have her parents¡¯ cooperation, my methods for dealing with her are more numerous and she wouldn¡¯t be able to threaten you, at least.¡±
Her safety was of the utmost concern to him, not Su Lin¡¯s illness.
If not for Xiaoxiao, he wouldn¡¯t offer his help. He wasn¡¯t the Holy Father. He was just a selfish man. He would never upset his own beloved woman for another woman.
Thus, he would never had agreed to Uncle Su¡¯s request.
He wasn¡¯t a fool!

How could he agree to pretend to be together with another woman just because of a little bit of responsibility? What would Xiaoxiao think if she knew? How would she feel?
Even though Xiaoxiao was extremely kind and generous, she would never ept it.
Why should he hurt his rtionship with Xiaoxiao over someone who was unrted to him?
That was hrious!
Mu Xiaoxiao understood in an instant. ¡°That sounds right too¡¡±
Yin Shaojie sat up straight and told her, ¡°Alright, that¡¯s all. What else do you want to know about?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s thoughts were a little messy and she couldn¡¯t think of anything momentarily. Shaking her head, she leaned forward and reached out to grab hug him, burying herself in his embrace.
With an ear to his heart, she listened to his steady heartbeat.
Yin Shaojie stroked her hair gently, as though he were petting a little cat.
The pair leaned on each other quietly.
After a while, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly lifted her head from his chest. Their gazes met.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed suddenly and hooked her hands around his neck, offering her pink lips voluntarily.
Yin Shaojie was a little stunned, for this girl rarely took initiative, and she was so¡ seductive!
Her little lips pressed onto his. At first, her kisses were gentle, as though she was a little kitten acting coy. Afterwards, she suddenly stuck out her tongue, trying to enter his mouth.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s body turned hot instantly and his gaze deepened.
However, he didn¡¯t move. He wanted to see what she was going to do next.
Mu Xiaoxiao entered with her wet and soft tongue. At first, she only licked him from inside, before mimicking how he did it ¡ª she pushed her tongue inwards and touched his tongue with hers.
She pressed her hands against his chest, moving them under his shirt as she kissed him.
Under her palms she felt his strong, powerful muscles. They were very defined, and exuded a very masculine aura under her touch.
Mu Xiaoxiao only felt her breathing grow erratic. Her chest heaved, and her heart began to beat wildly.
Her eyes narrowed and her lips curved into an enchanting smirk. Her hands then slid downwards naughtily.
Yin Shaojie was stunned and used hisrge hands to stop her roving hands.
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. Was she doing something wrong?
He seemed to want to do this every time he was making out with her.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression changed. He smiled a little devilishly as he said, ¡°Since you were touching me all over the ce just now, it¡¯s now time for me to do the same to you.¡±
Upon saying that, he jumped onto her andy her on the sofa. He then snuck his hot hands under her shirt and touched her soft skin.
That soft touch was like touching a baby¡¯s soft skin. It was so unimaginably smooth.
Usually, he would do it slowly and capture her little by little.
However, he was very straightforward today. Hisrge hands snuck underneath in an instant and caressed her soft breasts.
In the past, Mu Xiaoxiao would have struggled out of shyness.
Today was a little weird. She only blushed and turned to one side, letting him do what he wanted.
¡°I¡¯m going to fool around, okay?¡± Yin Shaojie said deliberately.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked very nervous. Her chest was heaving and she turned her little face to look at him. Her dark eyes were watery and anyone who looked at her would feel like bullying her.
¡°You¡¡± She bit her lip, seeming to want to say something, but looked too shy to say it.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Yin Shaojie asked. It felt like she was acting weird.
Mu Xiaoxiao pushed him away with her hands and said shyly, ¡°I want to take a shower.¡±
Chapter 926 - Wishing to Give Herself to Him (14)

Yin Shaojie got up. He didn¡¯t try to force her to stay unlike all the other times, but said considerately, ¡°Go take your shower then.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao got up from the sofa. Originally, she wanted to take her pajamas from her luggage. However, seeming to think of something, she retracted her little hand and dashed into the shower directly.
She closed the door but didn¡¯t lock it.
Mu Xiaoxiao leaned against the door. Her face reddened even more.
She balled her hands into fists and gave herself a pep talk. ¡°Don¡¯t be scared. This is a step that we¡¯ll take eventually. I must be braver!¡±
She pressed her ear against the door, trying to listen for movement outside.
She thought that Yin Shaojie would want to take a shower with her and take a couple bath or something, as per usual.
However, why was he so mild-mannered today?
Was he not going toe?
She had even not locked it deliberately so that he could barge in.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought about her intentions and her heartbeat increased. She walked over to the mirro and looked at herself.
Her face had the blush of a young virgin.
Was she being too obvious like this?
Actually, she didn¡¯t know what had happened to her. In the past, she would protest against going all the way with him, but today¡ she wanted to.
She was suddenly enlightened. All her worries and concerns seemed to melt away instantly.
Since they were already deeply in love and couldn¡¯t live without each other, doing it was a matter of time.
He had always wanted her badly.
Thinking about how she always rejected him made Mu Xiaoxiao feel apologetic. Enduring it must have been tough for him, right?
The two of them slept together everyday and every night he would hug her and asionally kiss or touch her.
However, she had prevented him from continuing every time.
Actually, she had felt something from his ¡®down below¡¯ when she woke up in the morning sometimes, erect against her thigh.
He would hug her and kiss her, and when he was feeling horny, he would touch her. However, he endured it in the end and would go into the toilet to take care of it.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked apologetic. If a man endured for too long, it was bad for them, right?
She ced a hand on her chest and tried to calm her wildly beating heart.
She felt that she should be braver.
Was it that she hadn¡¯t hinted strongly enough, and so he didn¡¯t understand it?
She was so willing to give herself to him already. He was so astute and clever usually, so how could he miss the hints this time?
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a while. Walking to the door she pretended that she had been careless and addressed the outside, ¡°Jie! I¡¯ve forgotten to take my pajamas. Can you¡ help me bring it over? I¡¯ve already taken off clothes.¡±
He woulde over now, right?
He was so perverted and sly, so he couldn¡¯t miss this opportunity to take advantage of her.
She waited for a while, but didn¡¯t hear any reply.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but to shout, ¡°Jie? Are you listening? Are you outside?¡±
However, there was no reaction from outside.
Could he have gone out?
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. Opening the door, she stuck her little head out and looked around.
¡°Jie?¡± she called out in a louder voice.
There was really no one in the room anymore. He had probably gone out.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and kicked at the floor gloomily. Why did he go out right now? What was he doing outside?
She suddenly thought about a possibility and her ears reddened.
Could it be that¡ he had understood her hint and had gone out to buy¡ condoms?
Chapter 927 - Wishing to Give Herself to Him (15)
Chapter 927: Wishing to Give Herself to Him (15)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Upon thinking of such a possibility, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face reddened in an instant.
Yin Shaojie seemed like the type to do that the more she thought about it.
He must have slipped out to buy condoms when she was showering. When she finished her shower he woulde on to her again and carry her to the bed to do things.
Eh, no, he hadn¡¯t taken a shower!
Thus, he might be rushing out to buy condoms thening back quickly before she was done with her shower and rushing in to take a shower with her. They would then do that in the shower¡
Mu Xiaoxiao felt as though her face was about to burn up.
Goodness gracious!
What was she thinking about!
How could she imagine such¡ dirty thoughts?
Mu Xiaoxiao fanned the top of her head as though trying to get rid of the x-rated images in her mind.
She should just hurry up with her shower!
However¡ should she shower faster, or slower, so that they could shower together when he came back?
Mu Xiaoxiao cupped her head. She felt her entire body was heating up.
Thinking about what was about to happenter, she ran to where her luggage was. Opening it, she found her undergarments.
Were these undergarments sexy enough? Would he like them?
But wasn¡¯t she not going to need to wear thister?
Mu Xiaoxiao felt like she was going to go crazy. Why were her thoughts full of these things!
She cupped her reddened cheeks and tried to calm herself down.
Just then, her phone rang.
Who was calling at this hour?
Mu Xiaoxiao walked over and picked up her phone. It was a foreign number.
She looked at the time. It was almost 12 o¡¯clock. Who was calling her at this hour?
Was it a scamming agency?
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t hesitate to decline the call. Her brain was full of thoughts about earlier, and she couldn¡¯t be bothered with anything else.
However, her phone rang again just as she was about to put it down.
It was the same number from before.
It couldn¡¯t be from a scammer then. If a scammer had called and gotten their call cut, they would probably would have given up.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a while and decided to take the call.
¡°Hello,¡± she said.
There wasughter from the other side of the call before a familiar voice said, ¡°It¡¯s me. You¡¯re not asleep yet?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused for a while. The voice sounded really familiar, but she couldn¡¯t ce the person.
¡°Who are you?¡± she asked simply.
The other side paused for two seconds before
chuckling bitterly. In a hurt voice, he said, ¡°You¡¯ve forgotten me so quickly? Isn¡¯t that hurtful?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t take the bait. Thinking about how Yin Shaojie might be returning soon, she said impatiently, ¡°Who are you? Hurry up and tell me, or I¡¯ll end this call right now.¡±
To call in the middle of the night and not state who they were ¡ª this person was crazy!
Admitting defeat, the person said helplessly, ¡°I¡¯m Feng Shengyang.¡±
¡°Eh? It¡¯s you?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. ¡°How did you get my number?¡±
She hadn¡¯t ever given her number to him, right?
¡°When there¡¯s a will, there¡¯s a way,¡± Feng Shengyang said. He then said intively, ¡°Say, y¡¯all left the hospital just like that? Without even paying me a visit?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao remembered how his injuries had been worse than Yin Shaojie¡¯s and asked, ¡°How¡¯re you now? Are you feeling better? Do you still need to be hospitalized?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not well,¡± Feng Shengyang said.
Mu Xiaoxiao asked uprehendingly, ¡°Tell the doctor if you¡¯re not feeling well. Telling that to me is useless. Also, it¡¯s sote. Why are you calling me?¡±
Chapter 928 - Wishing to Give Herself to Him (16)
Chapter 928: Wishing to Give Herself to Him (16)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°I don¡¯t know either. I just¡ missed you suddenly.¡± Feng Shengyang¡¯s voice sounded a little heavy as he said this.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked stunned. What the heck was he up to?
She asked suspiciously, ¡°Feng Shengyang, did you call the wrong number? Are you drunk?¡±
However, he didn¡¯t sound drunk from his voice.
No, everyone was different when they were drunk. Maybe he was like this when he was drunk?
Feng Shengyang chuckled bitterly and said, ¡°I¡¯m not drunk. I¡¯m in the hospital.¡±
¡°What nonsense are you talking about then?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao thought that he was acting weird. Anyway, she wasn¡¯t going to believe his words.
In her mind, Feng Shengyang was a weirdo. Maybe he was ying some sort of game?
Who could he have mistaken her for? Someone he liked?
¡°You don¡¯t believe it when I say that I miss you?¡± Feng Shengyang said, sounding like he didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°I don¡¯t believe it, of course. Feng Shengyang, you¡¯re acting weird. Are you feeling unhappy? You must be bored in the hospital. Sorry, but Shaojie and I had things to do, so we had to get out of the hospital early and we forgot that you were in the hospital. I¡¯ll see if I have time tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to visit you. How are your injuries? What did the doctor say?¡±
After all, the ident had been caused by Yin Shaojie, and he had been implicated.
Thus, it was only right that they visit him.
¡°Are you concerned about me now?¡± Feng Shengyangughed lightly. There was a hint of romantic suggestiveness in hisughter.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t a girl who liked to be teased like that, and thus didn¡¯t react to his hints.
She said matter-of-factly, ¡°Of course I¡¯m concerned about you. It would be good if nothing happens to you.¡±
If anything happened to him, wouldn¡¯t Yin Shaojie need to shoulder the me?
That was uneptable!
Yin Shaojie was busy with so many things right now and he shouldn¡¯t be burdened with another one.
Feng Shengyang didn¡¯t know how to respond to such a matter-of-fact answer from her.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked towards the door, afraid that Yin Shaojie was about to return. If Yin Shaojie knew that Feng Shengyang had called her, he would be mad.
She said hurriedly, ¡°It¡¯ste. You should get some rest and sleep early. Goodnight.¡±
She then hung up hastily before hearing his reply. Putting down her phone, she went into the shower.
At the same time, in the hospital.
Feng Shengyang was lying on the bed looking at the phone in his hands and smiling helplessly. ¡°I said I missed you, really you¡¡±
Heheh, was this revenge?
In the past, whenever he told a girl that he missed them or liked them casually, the girls would believe him easily. This was the only time that he had meant it, but the girl didn¡¯t believe him.
Actually, he didn¡¯t know what had gotten over him.
In the quiet of the night, in this empty bedroom, he was already supposed to be sleeping. However, he just couldn¡¯t fall asleep.
The image of her smashing the car window and screamed herself hoarse had been appearing in his mind subconsciously these past two days.
However, it couldn¡¯t be waved away. Instead, it became clearer.
Thinking about it made him miss her suddenly. When he had finallye back to his senses, he had found that he had already dialed her number.
He thought about what she had said earlier. She didn¡¯t believe him, and also said that she cared about him so matter-of-factly.
The corner of Feng Shengyang¡¯s lips curved up in an involuntary smile.
Interacting with her brought him an indescribable joy.

In the courtyard house, in one of the rooms of the main house.
Yin Shaojie was sitting on a bamboo chair. Cold sweat beaded his forehead. He turned his gaze back as he tried to unwrap a bandage around his hip bone.
¡°Shaojie, you¡¯re hurt?¡± Song Shijun pushed the door open and entered. Upon seeing him in this state, he understood immediately.
Yin Shaojie lifted his gaze and looked at him. ¡°Come help me.¡±
Song Shijun hurried over and helped him take the bandage off. After seeing the wound, he frowned and asked, ¡°What happened?¡±
It didn¡¯t look like a knife wound or a gunshot. It just looked like a horrifyingly bloody mess.
¡°Don¡¯t ask, just hurry!¡± Yin Shaojie said anxiously. He was counting the time internally. Xiaoxiao needed at least ten minutes to shower. He had to hurry up and settle this so that he could return before she came out so that she wouldn¡¯t get suspicious.
Song Shijun didn¡¯t say anything else, but dealt with his wound with a practiced hand.
After taking off the bloody bandage, Yin Shaojie ordered, ¡°Apply some antidote.¡±
Song Shijun was shocked. ¡°Poison? You¡¯ve been poisoned?¡±
The blood on the bandage looked mostly bright red, and only a little bit of it was ck. That meant that the wound had been mostly cleared of the poison.
However, precaution should still be taken with an antidote.
Song Shijun rummaged through the first aid kit for a special antidote. After applying this antidote onto Yin Shaojie, he would apply anotheryer of medicine to promote wound healing.
When he was about to apply this special antidote, Yin Shaojie stopped him. ¡°Don¡¯t apply this.¡±
¡°Why? This is a painkiller. Aren¡¯t you in a lot of pain right now?¡± Song Shijun asked uprehendingly. Upon thinking about the wound that he had seen earlier, his heart shivered in fright.
Yin Shaojie shook his head resolutely. ¡°I can¡¯t put this on. It smells too strongly, and Xiaoxiao would smell it.¡±
Song Shijun understood instantly that his main concern was for Xiaoxiao not to know about this.
There was no choice but to not use this antidote. However, he thought for a while and found an antidote that didn¡¯t smell. Even though it weren¡¯t very potent, it was better than nothing.
He bandaged the wound for him and stuck an adhesive over it.
The adhesive was used to hide the wound not only so that it couldn¡¯t be spotted at first nce, but also so that it wouldn¡¯t feel like there was a wound even if the area was touched.
Song Shijun asked, ¡°What happened? Did you arrive sote because you were hurt? Why couldn¡¯t we reach your phone?¡±
¡°My phone was dead.¡± Yin Shaojie only answered this question. Looking down, he confirmed that the wound had been bandaged properly and pulled his shirt back down.
He was about to leave when Song Shijun took ahold of him.
¡°Don¡¯t leave first. I¡¯ll brew something for you or you won¡¯t be able to endure it.¡±
Yin Shaojie knew what he meant but he shook his head. ¡°There¡¯s no need. I have to hurry back before Xiaoxiao knows that I came out.¡±
¡°What¡¯s that got to do with anything? Just tell her that you came out to find me. If you don¡¯t know how to exin it, just tell her that I asked you out for something and that will do. Look at how pale your face is. You don¡¯t want Xiaoxiao to see that, right? Sit here and wait for a few minutes.¡±
With that said, Song Shijun walked out of the room.
Yin Shaojie had no choice but to listen. He was indeed in great pain right now and he was afraid that he would expose himself if it was not relieved.
After a few minutes, Song Shijun returned. He offered a cup to Yin Shaojie.
¡°It¡¯s already been cooled down a bit. Drink it up.¡±
Chapter 930 - Wishing to Give Herself to Him (18)
Chapter 930: Wishing to Give Herself to Him (18)

Yin Shaojie lifted his head and drank it in one shot. Even though he had taken painkillers earlier, it wasn¡¯t as effective as Song Shijun¡¯s medicine.
Song Shijun couldn¡¯t help but exim, ¡°You¡¯re not bad. You looked like you were normal, and I couldn¡¯t tell that you were injured.¡±
Yin Shaojie finished even the dregs at the bottom of the cup and put the cup to one side.
¡°Sit down here for a while. You¡¯re still looking pale,¡± Song Shijun said as he pulled a chair over and sat in front of him, preparing to extract what had happened to him.
¡°Hurry up and tell me ¡ª what happened?¡±
Yin Shaojie shot him a re. ¡°It just happened like this. I¡¯m toozy to exin.¡±
Just then, another person pushed the door open and entered.
¡°What happened?¡± Ye Sijue asked.
Song Shijun pointed to Yin Shaojie. ¡°This guy¡¯s hurt and it¡¯s quite serious. He has been enduring the pain for a while and none of us could tell.¡±
¡°Are you okay?¡± Ye Sijue¡¯s words were directed to Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie nodded. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±
Song Shijun said, ¡°He refuses to say why he¡¯s hurt.¡±
Ye Sijue wasn¡¯t like him, who needed to know anything that had happened. He walked over to the first aid kit and took out some medicine.
¡°Don¡¯t bother him. He has his own discretions.¡± With that, Ye Sijue walked out of the room.
Actually, they hade to this courtyard house before and it was somewhat like a secret base to them. Thus, when Ye Sijue saw the address earlier, he knew that they were going toe here.
Song Shijun didn¡¯t expect Ye Sijue to leave so fast after arriving here.
Yin Shaojie stood up and patted Song Shijun¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Alright, you should go and sleep too.¡±
Song Shijun had no choice but to walk out with him. Turning around he closed the door.
¡°If you need to reapply medicine tomorrow, call me.¡±
¡°Yeah.¡±
The two of them went their separate ways at the corridor.
Ye Sijue was about to walk to his room when he met Ye Sijue on the way. He knew that he had been waiting for him.
With tacit understanding, the two of them walked to a dark corner.
Ye Sijue looked at him and asked, ¡°Are you going to hide your identity from Xiaoxiao forever?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Yin Shaojie nodded gravely.
Ye Sijue meditated for a while before saying, ¡°You can¡¯t hid it forever.¡±
They were now together and they would only be more intimate when they got married in the future. Such a thing could not be kept in the dark like this.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s dark eyes looked deeply into the distance. ¡°I know, but I can¡¯t tell her now.¡±
At least, he absolutely couldn¡¯t tell her about it right now.
Actually, the incident between him and Su Lin tied into this, and he didn¡¯t want to tell her only because he didn¡¯t Xiaoxiao to be suspicious, not because he was afraid that she would be unhappy if he told her about it.
A few months ago, he had been involved in a fight with a person in the dark. He had underestimated his opponent¡¯s treacherousness, and had almost fallen into his trap and exposed his real identity.
It was then that Su Lin appeared. Using her, he tricked the other person sessfully. It would have been very troublesome if his real identity was exposed.
However, he had worried that Su Lin might suspect something out of this incident. Thus, he tried to test Su Lin, agreeing to apany her for a few days so that not only could she observe that he didn¡¯t like her and give up, but also to shift her attention elsewhere.
Ye Sijue looked at him and nodded. ¡°Do as you see fit. Don¡¯t let Xiaoxiao suspect you. The Inte says that girls are like Sherlock Holmes. Once there¡¯s something slightly off about you, they can detect it. Don¡¯t let it affect your rtionship.¡±

Yin Shaojie smiled and said, ¡°Rx, I know. I can¡¯t say for others, but the trust between Xiaoxiao and I is different from what others have.¡±
After all, they had grown up together and had an extremely close rtionship with each other. Their trust in each other was deeply rooted.
This was something that other people wouldn¡¯t understand.
Upon hearing his words, Ye Sijue¡¯s eyes smiled as he said, ¡°I suggest that you don¡¯t sleep with Xiaoxiao tonight. Make up an excuse and sleep on the sofa.¡±
After that, he waved and went back to him own room.
Yin Shaojie stood at his spot and sighed. This matter was something that was so sweet, yet so torturous.
He was in a spot. He felt like Xiaoxiao had been taking so much initiative tonight. What if she tried to continue to be intimate with him after he returned? How should he reject her?
¡
Upon returning to the room, Ye Sijue saw a bundle bulging up from the bed.
Upon hearing the door close, the little bundle squirmed and began to shift towards the corner of the bed.
Ye Sijue¡¯s long legs took him over to the little bundle quickly and caught it in time just as it was about to fall off from the bed.
¡°Be careful,¡± his sexy voice came through the bedsheets into her ear.
Mo Xiaomeng felt really stuffy in there and started to struggle.
Ye Sijue couldn¡¯t help but to be tickled by her antics. He reached out arge hand and pull the bedsheets off her. ¡°Why did you wrap yourself up? Are you trying to cosy?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s face was red from being cooped up for so long. Upon emerging, she took in air in huge gulps, looking like a fish out of the water.
Ye Sijue looked at her flushed face. It looked like a peach and it made him want to take a bite.
He was someone who never shortchanged himself. Thus, he cupped her face and kissed her cheek.
Mo Xiaomeng was stunned. She wanted to struggle, but couldn¡¯t do so due to her weird posture. Thus, she could only let Ye Sijue chew her face off.
What was he trying to do?
Just as she was pondering over this, his lips moved and leaned towards her pink ones and prepared to kiss her.
¡°Ugh ¡ª ¡± She was pressed down onto the bed, and she tried to hit his shoulder with her fists.
Ye Sijue didn¡¯t explore her mouth, but only tasted her sweetness lightly before releasing her.
¡°Come, it¡¯s time for you to apply medicine.¡± His voice sounded as maic and pleasing as a piano.
However, Mo Xiaomeng seemed to have been shocked by lightning. She jumped up in fright and tried to escape.
No!
She didn¡¯t want to apply medicine!
You want to escape?
Ye Sijue¡¯s pretty lips were smiling. With a stretch of his long arm, he caught her ankle and pulled her back.
Mo Xiaomeng struggled on the bed and hit him with her palms. Sobbing she said, ¡°I¡¯m already recovered! I don¡¯t need to apply medicine!¡±
How could he do this!
She knew it. He was doing this deliberately because it was fun to tease her, right?
Did he think it hrious when she applied medicine?
This jerk!
Mo Xiaomeng pouted and looked at him unhappily. ¡°You can¡¯t do this.¡±
¡°Can¡¯t do what?¡± Ye Sijue looked at her smilingly and countered with a rhetorical question.
Mo Xiaomeng was speechless.
How could she tell him that?
¡°Y-You¡¯re too¡ too¡¡± She stammered. Her little brain didn¡¯t really have much Mandarin vocabry in it in the first ce and it froze up at this moment.
¡°Too what?¡± Ye Sijue continued to ask.
¡°You¡¯re too perverted!¡± Mo Xiaomeng blurted.
Ye Sijue¡¯s brows shot up. ¡°Too perverted?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s face grew redder and redder, and she nodded as if she was a little chick pecking at grains. ¡°Yeah, you¡¯re too perverted! Y-You obviously know that the wound on my b-butt has already healed and doesn¡¯t hurt anymore, so why are you trying to help me apply medicine?¡±

She had hidden under the covers in fright precisely because she had heard that he was going to get medicine for her to apply. Now, she was feeling a little dizzy because of the stuffiness.
Mo Xiaomeng felt a little ufortable and she frowned.
Upon seeing her frown, Ye Sijue understood that she was feeling ufortable. Reaching out, he ced a hand on her forehead and asked softly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
Still peeved, Mo Xiaomeng pushed his hand away. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡±
Ye Sijue¡¯s brows knitted and his handsome face turned cold. He looked a little severe as he said, ¡°Tell me where you¡¯re feeling ufortable.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng had never seen him don such an expression in the time that they were together.
He was usually very gentle towards her. Why was he making such a scary expression suddenly?
She pursed her lips and said in a whisper, ¡°I¡¯m feeling a little dizzy¡¡±
Even though she said it softly, Ye Sijue heard it clearly, for his hearing was sharper than a usual person¡¯s.
He had felt her body temperature earlier and knew that she wasn¡¯t having a fever. He rxed a little.
¡°Who told you to hide under the covers?¡± He looked at her and said.
Mo Xiaomeng harrumphed. ring at him, she said, ¡°Isn¡¯t it because of you? You talked about applying medicine, so I¡¡±
She felt like an idiot too. Did she think that she was still at home? At home, it meant that she was unwilling to do something when she hid under the covers. The rest of the people at home would then try to pacify her and do whatever she wanted.¡±
However, even though the person right in front of her pampered her, he didn¡¯t seem like he would let her have her way all the time.
¡°What¡¯s wrong with applying medicine? Ye Sijue pulled her up and sat her down in front of him so that they were facing each other.
He crossed his arms and looked at her. In a steady tone, he asked, ¡°Tell me, what¡¯s wrong with applying medicine? What¡¯s the problem with it?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng remembered how she had been pressed down by him while the medicine was being applied and blushed again.
¡°I already said that I don¡¯t hurt anymore¡ Why must I be forced to apply medicine? You¡¯re clearly trying to take advantage of people¡¡±
Ye Sijue¡¯s lips held a smile. ¡°Take advantage of you? Since when have I taken advantage of you? Tell me.¡±
¡°You ¡ª ¡± Mo Xiaomeng looked at him huffily. ¡°You have the shame to want me to tell you about it? This morning you pressed down on me and you had to¡ touch my butt! If this is not taking advantage of me, what is it?¡±
What was even worse was that she had already recovered, but he still wanted to apply medicine on her. Wasn¡¯t that on purpose? He was trying to find an excuse to take advantage of her!
¡°I was trying to apply medicine for you in the morning,¡± he said in a righteous tone, but the image of her fair butt had already shed across his mind.
He really wanted to take advantage of her like he had in the morning, but¡
He said directly, ¡°Even though I¡¯m applying medicine for you again, it¡¯s on a different part of the body.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng was stunned. ¡°A different part?¡±
Ye Sijue had teased her enough and smiled as he exined, ¡°This medicine that I took isn¡¯t to be applied on the¡ behind, but somewhere else.¡±
¡°Somewhere else?¡± Mo Xiaomeng looked down at herself, puzzled. ¡°I¡¯m not injured anywhere else.¡±
¡°Oh? So, you still want to apply it to¡¡± He looked towards her butt.
Mo Xiaomeng shouted bashingly, ¡°Don¡¯t apply it!¡±
She tried to jump backwards after her protest.
Ye Sijue¡¯s reflexes were fast, and he reached out and grabbed her ankle, pulling her back.
This time, he pulled her to face him.
He showed the little tin box with the medicine in it to her and exined, ¡°This is for your foot.¡±
¡°My foot?¡± Mo Xiaomeng was puzzled. She then saw him uncover the sheets and reveal the soles of her fair feet.
He said that he was going to apply medicine, but he touched her slim calf.
Mo Xiaomeng shivered sensitively.

¡°D-Don¡¯t touch me¡¡±
Didn¡¯t he say that he was going to apply medicine on her foot? Why was he touching her leg? And his motion was so¡
Mo Xiaomeng couldn¡¯t stand the numb feeling and retracted her leg.
Ye Sijue grabbed her ankle with a collected expression. His handsome face looked serious as he said, ¡°You¡¯ve walked so much today that your heel has turned red.¡±
He ced a finger on the reddened part of her foot as he spoke.
It was only then that Mo Xiaomeng felt some pain and she frowned. ¡°How did you tell?¡±
She didn¡¯t even notice it herself.
Ye Sijue kept quiet and put some medicine cream on his finger before massaging it onto the reddened part.
Mo Xiaomeng felt a warm sensation and it felt nice gradually.
The pair was silent.
After finishing his task, Ye Sijue moved his fingers forward and caught her calf.
¡°What are you doing?¡± Mo Xiaomeng was enjoying herself when she was shocked by him. She looked at him warily, afraid that he would do unspeakable things to her.
¡°You¡¯re red here, too. Were you cut by something?¡± he said calmly. He put some medicine cream on a long finger and applied it in a circr motion.
Mo Xiaomeng looked down and realized that there were indeed some red marks on her calf which she didn¡¯t remember getting.
Seeing as he didn¡¯t do anything surprising, she let him apply medicine obediently.
Finally, medicine was applied to both her legs.
A wave of sleepiness hit Mo Xiaomeng. Her gaze zed over and she gave a big yawn.
Ye Sijue looked at her and said, ¡°Go to sleep if you¡¯re tired.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng became dazed if she was tired and only nodded. Crawling over to the pillow shey down and fell asleep.
Ye Sijue chuckled. Putting the medicine aside, he went into the bathroom and took a shower.
After a short while, he came out from his shower. Putting on a set of pajamas, he climbed onto the bed andy down beside her.
Mo Xiaomeng, whom he had thought was asleep, lifted her head and eyelids. She looked at him with her blurry gaze and shuffled over.
Ye Sijue watched as she moved into his embrace and bent her arm. Content, she then felt asleep.
His gaze deepened as he watched her sleeping face.
After a while, he lowered his head and nted a kiss on her forehead.
After turning off the light in the room, the clear moonlight streamed through the windows, and the silhouette of a pair of figures in each other¡¯s embrace could be seen on the bed.
¡ª¡ª
In the next room.
In the shower, Mu Xiaoxiao was caught in a dilemma.
She was already in this dilemma from the moment she came in. She was deliberating over whether she should shower faster or slower.
In the end, Mu Xiaoxiao took an unexpected one hour long shower.
Thinking that she was going to do a bashful thingter, she washed herself down very thoroughly. After that, she thought about how her hair might smell because of how much fun she had today, and thus went to wash her hair. Luckily, there was a hairdryer in the bathroom, and she dried her hair with that.
Considering how much time she had wasted deliberating, taking an hour-long shower wasn¡¯t that long, actually.
After her shower, she realized a problem ¡ª why wasn¡¯t Yin Shaojie back yet?
Because she had been taking a shower in the bathroom, she didn¡¯t know how much time had passed, but she did feel that quite a bit of time bad passed.
Why wasn¡¯t he back from buying a single thing even after so long?
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t bring her pajamas into the bathroom and thus had to go out in a towel.
Unexpectedly, she saw right away that Yin Shaojie was lying on the bed, seemingly asleep.
Chapter 934 - Wishing to Give Herself to Him (22)
Chapter 934: Wishing to Give Herself to Him (22)

So he had already returned.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought about how sly he usually was. She suspected that he wasn¡¯t really asleep, but was pretending to sleep so that he could catch her off guard and do things to herter on.
She grew more and more curious. Walking in her slippers, she snuck over to the bedside.
However, she didn¡¯t dare to get too close to the bed, maintaining a distance away in case he was pretending to sleep. That way, if he lunged up and grabbed her she still had space to escape.
However, as she got closer and closer to him, she realized that he really did look like he was sleeping.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little dejected. Had she been imagining things? Maybe he didn¡¯t understand her hints?
ording to his personality, he wouldn¡¯t be able to fall asleep if he had gotten her hints.
Mu Xiaoxiao crawled up the bed andy beside him. Moving her head close, she observed his handsome face at close quarters.
He really was asleep.
Also, she realized that he was frowning as he slept, looking as if he were troubled by many things.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s instinct was to lean forward and smoothen his brow. However, she didn¡¯t want to wake him up from his sleep and thus decided not to.
Turning around, she switched the lights off and leaned her head close to his.
She could smell him in every breath she took.
Gradually, her eyelids closed and fell asleep with him.
¡ª¡ª
When Mu Xiaoxiao woke up the next morning, she found a nket over herself. She stretchednguidly and kicked the nket away out of habit.
The nket slid off to reveal her chest.
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. With a stunned expression on her face she pulled up the covers quickly and covered her chest up.
She blinked dazedly. It was then that she remembered that she hadn¡¯t brought her pajamas into the bathroomst night and thus had onlye out in a towel. This meant that she had fallen asleep with only a towel around herself.
Upon thinking about her sleeping posture¡
Mu Xiaoxiao covered her face with both hands bashfully.
Goodness gracious! It was too shameful!
She snuck a peek at the space beside her and realized that Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t there anymore. She didn¡¯t know where he went.
She didn¡¯t even need to use her brain to think to know that he must have seen how ugly her sleeping posture was in the morning after waking up and cing a nket over her.
Wouldn¡¯t her body have been fully exposed to him?
Goodness gracious!
What the h*ll!
Mu Xiaoxiao screamed silently as she kicked her limbs about under the covers, wishing that she could beat herself up.
She had never slept naked before and this was the first time feeling sheets against her bare skin. It felt a little¡ weird.
Mu Xiaoxiao blushed and pulled the nket up to her eyes.
Her bright, dark eyes looked around the room and fixed on the bathroom door eventually.
Was Yin Shaojie in the bathroom?
Should she rush over to the luggage and put on clothes while he was in the bathroom?
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for two seconds before springing into action. She didn¡¯t want Yin Shaojie to suddenly emerge from the bathroom.
Mu Xiaoxiao wrapped the nket around herself and rushed to her luggage, searching for her clothes.
It would be the fastest to don her pajamas, for it was the first set of clothes that greeted her.
However, upon thinking about how she still had to change out of her pajamas after that, she would rather take out her clothes to put on.
Just as she was about to do so, she heard Han Qiqing¡¯s voice ring out from the outside.
¡°Xiaoxiao! Are you awake? It¡¯s time for breakfast!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao froze. Perhaps it was because she just woke up, or that she was in this situation, but her reflexes were a little slow.
In the next second, the door handle turned and Han Qiqing¡¯s voice rang out clearer, ¡°Xiaoxiao, you ¡ª¡±
Chapter 935 - Wishing to Give Herself to Him (23)
Chapter 935: Wishing to Give Herself to Him (23)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
It was obvious that Han Qiqing had already entered and seen Xiaoxiao in her current state.
Han Qiqing¡¯s eyes widened and she eximed in surprise, ¡°Xiaoxiao, you ¡ª¡±
Goodness! She was wrapped in a nket!
What did this mean?
In television, such a scene meant that¡
Han Qiqing eximed, ¡°Last night, you and Yin Shaojie¡¡±
Both of you did it?!
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked by her. Rushing over, she put a hand over Qiqing¡¯s mouth so that she wouldn¡¯t be able to announce it to the entire world.
¡°Don¡¯t sprout nonsense! Han Qiqing, why didn¡¯t you knock beforeing in!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedly went to close, no, lock the door as she spoke.
Han Qiqing¡¯s gaze was suggestive as she wagged her brows and said, ¡°I knocked, but you ignored me and that¡¯s why I came in. Heheh, you¡¯ve finally done¡ that?¡±
¡°We haven¡¯t!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao denied blushingly.
¡°You haven¡¯t? You¡¯re already in this state and you¡¯re still denying it? Do you think I¡¯ve never watched television before?¡± Han Qiqing pointed to the nket on her andughed devilishly.
She could tell that she wasn¡¯t wearing anything under the nket by her bare shoulders!
You¡¯re in this state and you still dare to say that you haven¡¯t done ¡°that¡±st night?
¡°Aiyoh! We really didn¡¯t do that!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao finally understood the phrase ¡°finding it had to defend oneself despite being able to speak.¡± It was hard to deny things when she had been caught in such a situation.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt helpless.
If she were Qiqing, she would also have the same thoughts as she did.
However¡ She really never did anything with Yin Shaojie!
Boohoo, even though she had wanted it¡
She had finally thought things through and wanted to give herself to him, and not reject him anymore, but it turned out to be unsessful.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little puzzled too. Usually, Yin Shaojie would think of all sorts of tricks to make out with her and take advantage of her from time to time. Why was he so obedient and doing nothing the previous night?
However, after thinking about it carefully, she realized that he had been busy with many things the previous day and had even rushed over in a helicopter. He might have been very tired without the heart to think about such matters.
Additionally, he still had to take care of Su Lin¡¯s matters which was probably giving him stress.
He probably didn¡¯t want her to worry with him and thus didn¡¯t show it.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought about how he had fallen asleep so quickly the night before and her heart ached for him.
Han Qiqing walked over to Mu Xiaoxiao curiously and inspected her neck. Puzzled, she said, ¡°Why aren¡¯t there any hickeys? Were the books lying? Or was Yin Shaojie too gentle?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shot a re at her. ¡°I said nothing happened!¡±
Han Qiqing felt a little apologetic. ¡°Really? I thought that¡ Yin Shaojie had finally taken you.¡±
¡°I also wish for that¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao muttered weakly.
¡°What did you say?¡±
¡°Nothing!¡± Trying to evict her from the room, Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°Alright, hurry up and get out. I want to change.¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s eyebrows shot up and she didn¡¯t move back, but moved closer instead. Using a voice that only the both of them could hear, she asked, ¡°Xiaoxiao, are you not even wearing your¡ underwear below the nket? And why not?¡±
Wasn¡¯t that strange?
If they hadn¡¯t done anything, why was Xiaoxiao naked under the nket?
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Han Qiqing¡¯s face was full of curiosity as he eyes sparkled. ¡°Xiaoxiao, tell me! What did you and Yin Shaojie¡ dost night?¡±
Chapter 936 - Wishing to Give Herself to Him (24)
Chapter 936: Wishing to Give Herself to Him (24)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Even if they didn¡¯t go all the way, they must have done other things, right?
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She grabbed Han Qiqing¡¯s shoulder and pushing her out of the room, saying, ¡°Hurry up and get out!¡±
Han Qiqingughed suggestively. ¡°Okay, I know you¡¯re shy so I won¡¯t ask you about it anymore. Anyway, I already know what happened~¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry.
¡°Hurry up and change. Breakfast has already been bought and it¡¯ll get cold if you don¡¯te out and eat it,¡± Han Qiqing urged as she walked out of the room.
¡°Got it. You should eat first. I¡¯ll go after changing,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, wishing to close the door as fast as possible.
Just then, Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s voice rang out this time, ¡°Xiaoxiao?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want Mo Xiaomeng to see her in this state. Before she could see her, she shut the door hurriedly.
Mo Xiaomeng walked over but the door already closed before she could see Xiaoxiao. She looked confused.
Han Qiqing reached out and wrapped an arm around Mo Xiaomeng, ¡°She needs to change. Let¡¯s go and eat first.¡±
¡°Okay,¡± Mo Xiaomeng answered without suspecting anything.
Han Qiqing started to make small talk with her. ¡°Xiaomeng, you¡¯ve been in China for a while now, right? Don¡¯t you need to go back to attend sses?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng answered, ¡°Yeah, but it¡¯s fine to miss ss for a while.¡±
Han Qiqing suddenly thought of a question. She looked at her and asked, ¡°When are you going back to America then?¡±
¡°Soon. I told my brother that I¡¯ll go back after celebrating Xiaoxiao¡¯s birthday.¡± On this subject Mo Xiaomeng couldn¡¯t help but think about Ye Sijue. Shouldn¡¯t she tell him about her going back to America?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng rarely procrastinated, but this was her first time feeling conflicted about something.
She didn¡¯t know why but she was a little afraid of telling Ye Sijue about this and she felt uneasy.
Han Qiqing pped her hands in revtion. ¡°Oh yeah, it¡¯s almost Xiaoxiao¡¯s birthday! I would have forgotten about it if you hadn¡¯t reminded me.¡±
Living in City A, their tradition had been to celebrate their lunar birthdays and thus sometimes slipped their minds.
Even for Qiqing, her mom had to remind her about her birthday often before her birthday before she knew that it was approaching soon.
Han Qiqing suddenly looked at Mo Xiaomeng. Puzzled, she asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you an American? How did you know about China celebrating lunar birthdays?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng smiled and said, ¡°Xiaoxiao told me before. I thought that it was special and thus remembered it. I even looked it up online before I came to China.¡±
Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t help but to be touched and said, ¡°You¡¯re so nice to Xiaoxiao.¡±
Such attention wasn¡¯t something that most friends possessed.
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s smiled was soft and bright. ¡°Because I like Xiaoxiao!¡±
Han Qiqing had a feeling that she had lost at something and covered it up by saying, ¡°I like Xiaoxiao too! She¡¯s my best friend!¡±
¡°Me too!¡± Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s eyes lit up as she said this.
In the past, Han Qiqing had liked Mo Xiaomeng mostly because she was Xiaoxiao¡¯s friend. However, in this moment, her affection for Mo Xiaomeng had trulye from her heart.
Also, it had to be said that Xiaomeng had a good personality and she valued her rtionships.
Han Qiqing patted her shoulder and said, ¡°We¡¯re good friends from now on.¡±
¡°Yeah!¡± Mo Xiaomeng nodded earnestly. She also looked at Qiqing, who was cheerful and interesting.
¡°Oh yeah, have you thought about what present to give Xiaoxiao?¡±
Chapter 937 - Wishing to Give Herself to Him (25)
Chapter 937: Wishing to Give Herself to Him (25)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mo Xiaomeng nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯m prepared.¡±
¡°Aish, what do I do? I haven¡¯t thought of one yet.¡± Han Qiqing began to worry. She counted the years and realized that she still owed Xiaoxiao four years of birthday presents! Thus, she had to prepare a birthday present that was very awesome and surprising so that Xiaoxiao would be over the moon.¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay. There¡¯s still time so you can think about it when we get back.¡±
¡°Xiaomeng, you know what Xiaoxiao likes currently, right? You have to help me think.¡±
¡°Sure, I¡¯ll help you!¡±
The two girls walked into the courtyard with their arms around each other. The image of them talking andughing made Song Shijun look puzzled. ¡°Since when did you be such good friends?¡±
Han Qiqing looked at him and pulled Mo Xiaomeng closer. ¡°We¡¯ve always been good friends! Right, Xiaomeng?¡±
¡°Right!¡± Mo Xiaomeng nodded, a sweet smile blooming on her exquisite face.
Song Shijun didn¡¯t understand girl friendships and instead asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you go and ask Xiaoxiao to have breakfast? Where is she?¡±
¡°She¡¯ll be here soon,¡± Han Qiqing said and lead Xiaomeng to sit down with her.
Song Shijun sat down as well. Just as he was about to touch his chopsticks, Han Qiqing pped his hand away.
¡°Wait for Xiaoxiao to eat together!¡±
Song Shijun was puzzled. ¡°Why? We don¡¯t do this usually either. I¡¯m hungry, so can you let me have something to eat first?¡±
¡°No! Xiaoxiao¡¯s about toe out. Will you die if you wait for a while more?¡± Han Qiqing red at him.
Song Shijun nodded firmly. ¡°Yes, I will die! I¡¯m about to die from hunger! Let me have one thing. Can¡¯t I just have a single bun?¡±
¡°No!¡± Han Qiqing was as stubborn as before.
Helpless, Song Shijun could only put his chopsticks down.
He cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted into the house, ¡°Xiaoxiao! Hurry up! The whole world is waiting for you!¡±
Han Qiqing rolled her eyes at him. ¡°Sijue and Yin Shaojie haven¡¯t arrived yet. What are you shouting that for?¡±
Song Shijun pointed to the main door with his chin and said, ¡°They¡¯ve already gone out. They¡¯re not eating, so it¡¯s just us four.¡±
¡°What did they go out for?¡±
¡°Beats me! They didn¡¯t even tell me.¡± Song Shijun shrugged.
With Han Qiqing¡¯s attention on the main door, he grabbed a steamed dumpling and threw it into his mouth in one swift motion.
Han Qiqing noticed it immediately. ¡°You¡¯re too much! Spit it out!¡±
Song Shijun chewed as he spoke in a muffled voice, ¡°How can I spit out something I¡¯ve already eaten? Aiyoh, why should we wait when everyone is already so familiar with each other?¡±
Beside them, Mo Xiaomeng said, ¡°Actually¡ we don¡¯t have to wait for Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao won¡¯t mind if we start without her.¡±
Song Shijun looked at her gratefully and agreed, ¡°That¡¯s right, our Great Mistress Mu is a generous and considerate person. Why would she mind such a thing? Xiaomeng, you should just ignore her; she¡¯s just trying to pick a fight with me.¡±
His gaze paused andnded onto Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s neck. ¡°Xiaomeng, what happened to your neck? Did you get bitten by a mosquito?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng touched her own neck and asked uprehendingly, ¡°Where?¡±
Song Shijun smiled suggestively, ¡°I know you were bitten by a giant mosquito. Let me guess, is the surname of the mosquito Ye?¡±
It was only then that Mo Xiaomeng realized what he was talking about. She blushed, and her gaze became bashful.
She remembered that Ye Sijue had indeed done things to her when she had woken up in the morning¡
Chapter 938 - Wishing to Give Herself to Him (26)

¡°Ah!¡± Song Shijun shrieked in pain. He turned around to look at Han Qiqing, who had stepped on his foot.
Han Qiqing whistled. Reaching out, she grabbed a bun and stuffed it into his mouth. ¡°Come on, aren¡¯t you hungry? Have some more food.¡±
She grabbed another bun and prepared to stuff it in while she spoke.
Song Shijun pushed her hand away. His mouth wasn¡¯t that of a hippo. How could it be stuffed with so many buns!
Han Qiqing looked at him threateningly, warning him not to tease Xiaomeng like that anymore.
It was one thing for girls to talk about such thing, but it was wrong for him, as a boy, to say that to someone else¡¯s girlfriend. He deserved to be punched!
Han Qiqing leaned close to his ear and said, ¡°You¡¯re lucky that Sijue isn¡¯t here, or you¡¯ll¡¡±
She made a cutting motion across her throat.
Song Shijun swallowed and made a zipping motion across his lips to signal his surrender. ¡°Alright, alright, alright, I¡¯ll not talk about it anymore.¡±
He hadn¡¯t even said it explicitly and was only trying to tease her.
¡°It smells so good! What¡¯s good to eat?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s voice rang out from behind them. When she approached them she stood between Qiqing and Xiaoxiao, and wrapped her arms around their shoulders.
¡°The whole table is filled with good food, Great Mistress Mu. We were just waiting for you.¡± Upon seeing that she had finally arrived, Song Shijun started to pick out food with his chopsticks instantly.
¡°You didn¡¯t have to wait for me first. You could have just started eating first.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao sat down beside Xiaomeng. She looked around and noting Yin Shaojie¡¯s absence, said, ¡°Where¡¯s Jie and Sijue? Where did they go?¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s mouth was filled with food, and she pointed at Song Shijun.
Song Shijun swallowed the food in his mouth reluctantly and exined, ¡°They¡¯ve gone out and said that it¡¯d be a while so we should eat by ourselves. Hurry up and eat, the food¡¯s getting cold.¡±
¡°Have they had breakfast then?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was still worried about Yin Shaojie.
¡°They aren¡¯t little kids, so they¡¯ll find something to eat if they¡¯re hungry. You don¡¯t have to worry about them.¡±
Just as the words left his mouth, Ye Sijue and Yin Shaojie entered.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked over happily. ¡°You¡¯re back? Hurry ande have breakfast.¡±
Ye Sijue and Yin Shaojie smiled as they walked over.
Yin Shaojie pulled Mu Xiaoxiao up and led her to another seat so that Ye Sijue could sit beside Mo Xiaomeng.
Ye Sijue nodded. ¡°Thanks.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shot a look at Yin Shaojie wordlessly and said, ¡°Where did you go so early in the morning? I didn¡¯t see you when I woke up in the morning.¡±
She didn¡¯t like that feeling.
Usually, she could see him when she opened her eyes when they slept together.
Even if she couldn¡¯t see him when she woke up in the past she didn¡¯t really mind it. However, it felt very different today, for she felt an indescribable feeling of loss.
Yin Shaojie held her little hand. His gaze was smiling as he said, ¡°I went out because of something and I didn¡¯t wake you up because you were sleeping so soundly.¡±
Upon hearing him say the words ¡®sleeping so soundly¡¯, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but to remember her nakedness in the morning and felt as though she had heard some teasing in his tone.
She decided not to pursue the subject so that he couldn¡¯t say anything more.
¡°Hurry up and eat.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao took up a bun and put it in his mouth.
¡°I want to eat that.¡± Yin Shaojie pointed to a box with his chopsticks.
¡°Can¡¯t you pick it up yourself?¡± He had long arms, and he could definitely reach it.
Yin Shaojie pursed his lips and looked at her. There was a faint smile in the corners of his lips as he said, ¡°But I think that it¡¯ll taste better if you pick it up. Feed me and I¡¯ll test if this is true.¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao smiled happily as a result of his sweet talk.
However, she still said, ¡°There¡¯s nothing I can do about you, huh. Eat more, eat more, youzy pig!¡±
Beside them, Ye Sijue wasn¡¯t really eating, but was instead piling food into Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s bowl, as though he were trying to fatten her up.
Song Shijun looked at them. Grinning, he picked up a fried dumpling for Qiqing. ¡°Qiqing, here¡¯s something you like.¡±
¡°Oh, thanks.¡± Han Qiqing continued to eat but realized that Song Shijun was staring at her. ¡°What?¡±
Song Shijun¡¯s eyes made crescent shapes as he smiled. His gaze floated over to the steamed cake that he liked and he smiled at her, hinting.
However, Han Qiqing didn¡¯t understand what he was trying to say. ¡°What do you want?¡±
Song Shijun felt a little sad and said bluntly, ¡°Don¡¯t you know how to return the favor?¡±
Have you not seen the two couples around us trying to feed each other?
Was she going to die if she picked something up for him?
Han Qiqing said, ¡°You have a pair of hands, so you can take whatever you want to eat yourself.¡±
Song Shijun harrumphed and said, peeved, ¡°Return that fried dumpling to me!¡±
Han Qiqing was silent for a while before picking up a steamed dumpling for him. ¡°Is this okay now?¡±
Song Shijun saw that it was something that he liked to eat and was satisfied. It seemed as though she still knew his preferences.
¡°I want another one.¡± A particr someone tried to push her limits.
Han Qiqing could only take another for him.
¡°Another one.¡±
Han Qiqing inhaled deeply and ced the entire te right in front of him instinctively. ¡°You can have them all since you like them so much.¡±
¡
After breakfast, the bunch of them packed their luggage and put it in the car, nning to drive around near Nanxiang Old Town before heading back to City A directly.
Yin Shaojie hadn¡¯t driven here and thus rode in Song Shijun¡¯s car.
¡°Let¡¯s go to Muhe Bay. We can do bamboo rafting there. Xiaomeng hasn¡¯t done it before, right?¡± Han Qiqing suggested.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°Sure, I¡¯ve never done it before either. Let¡¯s go!¡±
Just as the pair were talking, they suddenly saw Ye Sijue¡¯s car stop in front of the group of people who had gathered in its path.
¡°What¡¯s happening?¡±
Song Shijun surveyed the situation. His eyes narrowed as he said, ¡°It seems as though someone is looking for trouble.¡±
Ye Sijue¡¯s car was in front and some distance from theirs. The people who blocked his car were evidently unaware that the car behind his was with him, and there were even some hoodlums who waved Song Shijun away, indicating that they should leave the area.
A gang of people surrounded Ye Sijue¡¯s car aggressively.
¡°Get out! You, get out!¡±
Someoneunched the first attack and kicked the door of the car fiercely. He even hollered loudly as a threat.
Ye Sijue frowned. Reaching out, he held Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s hand and said softly, ¡°Don¡¯t be scared.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng recognized a person from the group and pointed at him in surprise. ¡°It¡¯s him!¡±
It was the gentleman who tried to kidnap her yesterday.
It seemed as though this person was still displeased about what had happened yesterday and called up people to take revenge on them.
Ye Sijue swept an icy nce across this gang of people.
There were over ten people and every one of them was an unfriendly-looking gangster. A normal citizen would have been scared stiff long ago and would have caved in to their demands.
However, these people were unlucky, for they met Ye Sijue and his clique.
Upon seeing how Ye Sijue wasn¡¯t reacting, the person thought that he was too afraid to get out of the car. He gave the car a few more rampant kicks and roared arrogantly, ¡°I told you to get out! Did you hear me? Get the f*** out of the car!¡±
Chapter 940 - Wishing to Give Herself to Him (28)

Ye Sijue retracted his gaze and said to Mo Xiaomeng gently, ¡°Don¡¯te out from the car. I¡¯ll go out for a while to deal with it. Close your eyes and don¡¯t peak.¡±
He even turned on the music in the car as he spoke.
Mo Xiaomeng grabbed his hands worriedly. ¡°Be careful.¡±
Ye Sijue smiled lightly. Holding up her little hand, he kissed the back of it and petted her head. ¡°Be good and stay in the car.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng nodded obediently. ¡°Okay.¡±
Ye Sijue opened the door and got out of the car before locking it with the remote.
Upon seeing hime out, the gentleman walked up, pleased, a cigarette in his mouth. ¡°Handsome boy, this car isn¡¯t bad. Looks like you¡¯re rich.¡±
Ye Sijue didn¡¯t utter a word and looked at him icily.
The gentleman became riled up by his coolness.
How dare you act cool in front of me!
I¡¯ll make you kneel on the floor and scream for your parents!
The gentleman guffawed arrogantly. ¡°Are you surprised to see me? Did you think I was locked up in the police station? Boy, let me tell you that Nanxiang Old Town is my territory!¡±
In a provoking tone, he said, ¡°Do you know who I am?¡±
Song Shijun smiled carefreely as he walked up and put an arm on Ye Sijue¡¯s shoulder. He surveyed the gentleman with disdain.
He said to Ye Sijue, ¡°Why are you wasting time with these cockroaches? Just start fighting already. This guy right here hasn¡¯t had a fight in a very long time and this is a good practice opportunity.¡±
¡°Who are you calling a cockroach, boy!¡± Their opponent scolded the two and the entire gang was instantly riled up.
Song Shijun was still grinning, as though he wasn¡¯t aware of the danger he was in.
He turned back and looked at Yin Shaojie, saying, ¡°You¡¯ll be the damsel protector today. I¡¯ll take care of this myself today. Don¡¯t steal my limelight. Let me have my moment.¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled. He knew that Song Shijun was concerned about his wound.
¡°Alright, I won¡¯t steal your limelight.¡±
Song Shijun had been trained in the military since he was young. Taking on ten people wasn¡¯t difficult for him.
Sure enough, Song Shijun pinched his fingers and walked up.
¡°Don¡¯t fight me one by one bute at me all at once. We¡¯re very busy and we have no time to waste on you. Hurry up and fight me. I¡¯ll make this a quick victory!¡±
Upon seeing that he was going to fight them, Ye Sijue decided not to interfere. Putting his hands into his pockets, he watched the show from the side.
The hoodlums were angered by Song Shijun¡¯s provocation and leaped forward one by one.
Song Shijun rose to the asion and tackled every one of them in order.
It was no use whether these people had any weapons on them for they seemed to be just for decoration.
After kicking one person away, he suddenly remembered something and turned his head back towards Ye Sijue. ¡°How did you offend these people? They¡¯re so trash. Why didn¡¯t you take care of them before?¡±
¡°The one who¡¯s wearing sses is a human trafficker. He wanted to kidnap Xiaomeng,¡± Ye Sijue exined coldly as he cast a sidelong nce at the gentleman.
It was a sunny day, and the temperature wasn¡¯t cold, but the gentleman got the chills.
He then saw the men he had brought sprawled on the floor after a single punch.
Song Shijun said to Ye Sijue, ¡°I¡¯ll let you have this one?¡±
Ye Sijue nodded. His long legs moved and walked over like he was Satan arriving at the scene.
The gentleman only felt his heart run cold. Without even thinking, he whipped out his handgun. Trembling, he pointed it at him before he changed his mind and pointed it at Mo Xiaomeng.
¡°Don¡¯te closer!¡±

¡°Don¡¯te closer!¡±
The gentleman thought that brandishing a gun would scare them, and even startedughingcently.
However, Song Shijun sneered. In a disdainful tone, he said, ¡°VK2? My goodness, that¡¯s a gun that¡¯s been in production for a few years already. Come on man, how can you even have the shame to show off this trashy gun?¡±
The gentleman was stunned. He looked at the gun in his hands.
W-What VK2? How did he know what this gun was? He¡¯d bought it heedlessly! Isn¡¯t it awesome enough that he had a gun?
¡°I¡¯m warning you! Shut the f*** up! Don¡¯t say a word and don¡¯te near me! Or else¡ I¡¯ll kill prettydy in one shot!¡±
F***!
The girl was too pretty. He really wanted to kidnap her, for she could fetch him a pretty price, and thus he had brought this gang of people to block them.
However, their gang was entirely annihted by a single man.
Who were these people?
They were f***ing monsters!
Luckily, he had the smarts to bring a gun here. Now that they were faced with a gun, he didn¡¯t believe that they¡¯d¡
Song Shijun didn¡¯t take his threat to heart at all. He snickered, ¡°Look at how your hands are trembling! Those who don¡¯t know better will think that you have Parkinson¡¯s!¡±
The gentleman swore abundantly. ¡°Shut up! Shut up, you hear? Don¡¯t think that I won¡¯t do it!¡±
The guys may not be afraid of death, but weren¡¯t they scared of him harming the girls?
The gentleman didn¡¯t think they weren¡¯t so. Provoked, he fired his gun towards Mo Xiaomeng.
¡°BANG! BANG!¡±
He fired two consecutive rounds.
Mo Xiaomeng shrieked and ducked in fear.
However, the windshield in front of the car didn¡¯t suffer any damage at all.
The gentleman was shocked. What was happening?
Could he have bought a fake gun?
However, there was obviously recoil when he fired the gun!
¡°Sijue!¡± Song Shijun shouted. He flicked a piece of stone with the toe of his shoe and kicked it out.
The stone hit the gentleman¡¯s hand squarely. His hand went numb from the pain and the gun fell from his hand.
Ye Sijue strode up to the man when he heard the shout. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before the gentleman like a ghost and grabbed his cor.
It was only then that the gentleman understood the strength disparity and was scared witless, peeing his pants. ¡°I¡¯m in the wrong, I¡¯m in the wrong! Masters, I failed to recognize your greatness. Please spare me!¡±
Ye Sijue pressed his fingers against his neck, his gaze so cold as though they held ten thousands of years of frost.
The gentleman¡¯s heart shivered. He had the feeling that he was about to be killed. He was consumed by fear and cold sweat broke out on his entire body.
¡°Don¡¯t kill me¡ cough, cough, cough. Don¡¯t kill me¡ I really didn¡¯t know I was wrong¡
Because of their height difference, the gentleman was lifted off the ground. However, he was still being suffocated, his entire face was red and he looked like he was about to be choked.
Just then, police sirens rang out.
The gentleman was ted and thought he was going to be saved.
¡°Cough, cough, cough, let go of me! Murder is a crime!¡±
Ye Sijue was not going to kill him, of course. Mo Xiaomeng and the two other girls were watching, and he didn¡¯t want to let them see anything horrible.
He threw the gentleman onto the ground. In the next second, he kicked the gentleman more than a meter away in a single motion.

The gentleman could only feel extreme pain in his abdomen as though his internals were ruptured. It was so painful that he could only lie on the floor gasping for breath.
The police car arrived quickly and stopped right in front of the gentleman.
Upon seeing the person who came out of the car, the gentleman looked as though he had seen his savior. Ignoring his pain, he shouted, ¡°Save me, Brother Zhang. Save me, they¡¯re going to kill me!¡±
The person who had been addressed as Brother Zhang looked stormy. Walking over, he nced at him icily and ordered his subordinates, ¡°Arrest this human trafficker! Arrest all the hoodlums as well!¡±
The gentleman looked stunned.
W-What kind of situation was this?
Was this all an act for the outsiders?
Thus, he didn¡¯t protest as he was hauled up, stunned.
The person called Brother Zhang turned to Ye Sijue and the rest. Immediately, his expression changed to an ingratiating smile and he said, ¡°Are you Young Master Ye? Sorry about giving you trouble. Rest assured, this time, we¡¯ll deal with him ording to thew!¡±
Ye Sijue¡¯s expression was cold. ¡°Did the head of the police bureau dispatch you to capture him? Why is it that you¡¯ve only done so now?¡±
He was evidently criticizing his work efficiency.
Brother Zhang wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said innocently, ¡°Young Master Ye, isn¡¯t it the tourist season for Nanxiang Old Town? There are too many tourists, so it wasn¡¯t really convenient. We didn¡¯t want to scare the tourists and make them think that something big was happening.¡±
Upon realizing the situation, the gentleman was stunned. ¡°B-Brother Zhang¡¡±
Brother Zhang gave him a p across the cheek and scolded furiously, ¡°Shut up! Who are you? I don¡¯t know you! Don¡¯t think that I¡¯ll let you off just because you¡¯re acting intimate with me! Tell you what, that¡¯s not happening! This is a direct order from the Head of the Police Bureau and neither Heaven nor the Emperor can shield you! Get it?¡±
The gentleman understood immediately. He was cutting off their ties!
¡°D-Don¡¯t you dare drop your benefactor as soon as you don¡¯t need him! You only care about your own survival, and you¡¯re pushing me to death! AH!¡±
In order to prevent him from speaking, Brother Zhang gave him two more ps. He then grabbed his chin threateningly and red at him, warning, ¡°I dare you to sprout more nonsense!¡±
The gentleman was panicking, but could only make sobbing noises from his throat, not daring to say anything in protest.
¡°Bring him into the car!¡±
¡°Yes sir!¡± His subordinates carried out his orders hurriedly and were even smart enough to cover his mouth to prevent him from revealing anything more.
Brother Zhang turned to Ye Sijue and said ingratiatingly, ¡°Young Master Ye, rest assured! We will keep you updated about this. This will never happen again.¡±
Ye Sijue didn¡¯t say a word but his silent icy stare was enough to make Brother Zhang¡¯s heart run cold.
Just then, a grinning Song Shijun said, ¡°Since we still have time, let¡¯s go to the police station to see what goes on, how about that?¡±
¡°Sure!¡± Han Qiqing was the first one to raise her hands and agree.
The rest didn¡¯t have any objections. Anyone could tell that these people were up to something fishy.
Thus, the six of them got into their cars and followed the police car to the police station.
Upon hearing the news, the Head of the Police Bureau even came down personally.
However, he was stunned when he saw the people in front of them.
¡°I-Isn¡¯t this the mayor¡¯s son? Also this is¡ Goodness! Young Master Yin, and¡ Young Master Ye¡ you¡¯vee here together?¡±
It was then that cold sweat started to pour off the Head of the Police Bureau¡¯s forehead as if he were in a sauna.
Chapter 943 - Wishing to Give Herself to Him (31)

Upon hearing this, Brother Zhang was very shocked.
So these kids had a lot of influence!
However, when he thought about Ye Sijue¡¯s gaze, he felt a mysterious sense of terror.
The Head of the Police Bureau hailed them hurriedly, ¡°Let¡¯s go up and talk in my office. Wee, wee!¡±
He led the six of them upstairs and instructed someone to prepare some drinks.
Brother Zhang stood rooted to his spot, not even bothering to wipe away the cold sweat that had formed on his forehead. He only looked at the gentleman, as he burned with regret.
The gentleman was still trying to catch his eye. Upon seeing that the rest of the people were gone, he spoke hastily, ¡°Brother Zhang, you have to save me!¡±
¡°Save you? You¡¯re charged with illegal possession of firearms and you even attempted murder earlier. Do you think I¡¯m still able to shield you?¡±
Also, factoring in the human trafficking, he would have to go to jail for at least ten years, and this was only a casual estimate!
There was no color in the gentleman¡¯s face. He knew that he was now powerless to save himself.
¡°Bring him in! Lock him up in a single cell!¡± Brother Zhang ordered.
The gentleman¡¯s expression changed. In a snitching tone of voice, he said, ¡°If you don¡¯t help me, I¡¯ll tell on you. If I¡¯m going to die, we¡¯ll die together!¡±
Brother Zhang swore. He dragged the prisoner to a dark little room forcefully and unleashed a beating on him.
In the end, the gentleman, who had copsed and was unable to stand, was dragged out by someone.
After ten minutes, the Head of the Police Bureau apanied them down and sent them off good-naturedly.
He swept a nce across the room and not seeing Brother Zhang, called his deputy over. With his face dark, he lowered his head and spoke to him for a while.
After a few minutes, Brother Zhang was locked up together with the gentleman.
A few dayster, Nanxiang Old Town¡¯s police station announced that they had uncovered an enormous human trafficking ring.
¡ª¡ª-
Yin Shaojie and the rest got back on schedule and went on a self-driving tour, having fun along the way back to City A.
After dinner, Yin Shaojie drove Mu Xiaoxiao home to the Yin residence.
Because it was the weekend, Mama Yin had called and said that she missed Xiaoxiao incredibly, saying that she wanted them to go back and stay a night.
Originally, Mama Yin had wanted them toe back for dinner. However, they had stumbled upon a quaint little farm along the way and they had eaten there so that Xiaomeng could try their food.
When they had reached the Yin residence, it was already past eight o¡¯clock.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked lethargic. She was extremely exhausted and didn¡¯t feel like walking anymore, leaning almost half her body on Yin Shaojie, letting him hold her as he walked.
Upon entering the house, they saw Mama Yin carrying something over. ¡°You¡¯re home?¡±
Upon seeing Mu Xiaoxiao, Mama Yin eximed, ¡°Aiyoh, baby, where have you been? Why are you so tired?¡±
¡°Mama Yin¡¡± Mama Yin walked over and hugged her coquettishly, cing her chin on Mama Yin¡¯s shoulder like a little kid.
Mama Yin rubbed her back gently. ¡°You¡¯re very tired, huh? I¡¯ve asked the kitchen to boil some soup for you. Both of you should drink some before showering.¡±
¡°Thank you, Mama Yin!¡± Mu Xiaoxiaoughed sweetly and gave Mama Yin a peck on her cheek.
Mama Yin was overjoyed. Holding her hand, she led her over to the dining table.
¡°Ah Jie, you especially,e over and drink too. You must have two extra bowls, okay?¡±
Yin Shaojie followed them. He sat down and held up the bowl in his hand. Just as he was about to drink the soup, he smelt the ingredients in it and paused.
¡°This soup¡¡± He looked at his mother with his eyebrows cocked.
Mama Yin gave him a meaningful smile, and even used her eyes to gesture to Mu Xiaoxiao, hinting, ¡°Hurry up and drink it. Mama boiled it with a lot of effort.¡±
Chapter 944 - Wishing to Give Herself to Him (32)

¡°This soup is so delicious!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao eximed as she took a sip.
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t stop her. He didn¡¯t want to drink it and was thinking how he should refuse it.
Just then, Papa Yin came back.
¡°You two are back? You¡¯re only having dinner now?¡± Papa Yin smiled as he walked over.
Mu Xiaoxiao put down the bowl and walked over to hold his hand and said, ¡°Papa Yin,e and have some soup. Mama Yin made the soup. It¡¯s really good!¡±
Mama Yin¡¯s expression showed some awkwardness as she said, ¡°He doesn¡¯t need to drink it. He always gets to drink the soup that I make. These bowls of soup are for you two. You two should drink more of it.¡±
In a difficult spot, Yin Shaojie sighed and said, ¡°Mom, I may not be able to drink it.¡±
¡°Why?¡± Mama Yin asked.
¡°Because¡¡± Yin Shaojie smiled bitterly, and he said, ¡°Well, alright. I was actually not going to tell you this because I didn¡¯t want you to worry. I had a little car identst night and got a little concussion. I already went to the hospital and it¡¯s all fine. The doctor said that I shouldn¡¯t eat food that is too greasy, especially tonic soups.¡±
With a stern countenance, Mama Yin said, ¡°Seriously, a car ident is a big deal. Why didn¡¯t you tell us about it? Are you hurt? Concussion is not a trivial matter. Have you gotten it properly checked out?¡±
¡°I¡¯m alright. It¡¯s because I¡¯m alright that I dare to tell you about it now, right?¡± Yin Shaojie quickly calmed her down lest she continued to worry.
¡°That said, it was only a little car ident. I was hit by a drink driver. It¡¯s not that serious. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can ask Xiaoxiao. Right, Xiaoxiao?¡± He directed her question to Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and shot him a look. Was he getting her to lie for him?
How was it a little car ident!
She thought back to that night and remembered how she had gone down the ravine, desperately looking for Yin Shaojie while fearing the worst. She gave him another disapproving look.
But since they were talking to an elder, she still had no choice but to go along with him. She smiled at Mama Yin and said, ¡°Yeah, he¡¯s alright now. We wouldn¡¯t have gone to Nanxiang Old Town if he wasn¡¯t fine. Don¡¯t you think so too, Mama Yin?¡±
Mama Yin was slightly relieved upon hearing that.
Yin Shaojie stood up and apologized, ¡°Mom, unfortunately I can¡¯t enjoy your soup today. Next time, alright? Next time when I¡¯m back, make another one for me. We can let Pa enjoy the soup tonight.¡±
With that said, he put the bowl of soup in front of Papa Yin.
Then he patted his father¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Ma spent a long time making this soup. You should have more helpings so as not to waste Mama¡¯s good intentions.¡±
¡°Then I gotta have more too!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said.
Although she felt that Yin Shaojie was acting a little fishy, she also didn¡¯t want to disappoint Mama Yin.
Besides, even if there was something fishy about the soup, Mama Yin would never harm her. She had no doubt about that.
Yin Shaojie furrowed his brows slightly as he stared at her bowl, thinking if this soup might have any effect on her.
Mama Yin was very happy to hear her say that. A smile spread across her face, and she said, ¡°Xiaoxiao is still the best. After you¡¯re done with this bowl, I will bring another helping for you. This soup is good for girls¡¯ health too.¡±
Looking regretful, Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°Yeah! If we haven¡¯t already eaten, I would definitely have finished the whole pot of soup! Oh, no. I meant half of it. The other half is for Papa Yin.¡±
Thus, she happily took Papa Yin to sit down and drink the soup together.

Mama Yin cast a nce at her husband with a look of resignation.
But Yin Shaojie sniggered secretly instead.
After finishing the soup, Yin Shaojie took Mu Xiaoxiao into his room.
He stared at her little face and asked, ¡°Do you feel anything?¡±
¡°Feel anything?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao batted her eyes, held her face in her hands and rubbed it. Then she grinned and said, ¡°It seems like my skin is smoother now?¡±
Puzzled, she asked, ¡°The soup was pretty good. Why did youe up with excuses to not drink it?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s elegant face showed awkwardness, and he coughed as though he didn¡¯t want to exin himself.
He pinched her nose and said, ¡°In any case¡ this soup isn¡¯t good for me. It¡¯s better that I don¡¯t drink it. It¡¯s for your own good too!¡±
¡°For my own good?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was even more puzzled.
How did it matter to her whether he drank the soup or not?
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t want to discuss this topic with her, so he nudged her and said, ¡°Go take a shower first. You¡¯re all sweaty. You¡¯re also tired from today. You should rest early.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and turned around to get her clothes.
Indeed, she did also want to quickly get into the shower.
When she entered the bathroom, Yin Shaojie took his pajamas from the closet, wrapped the ointment, gauze and the other stuff in his pajamas. Then he went out of the room and into another room to take a shower.
When Mu Xiaoxiao came out after a shower, he was nowhere to be seen.
Could he have gone to the study?
Usually when they were at the Yin residence, Yin Shaojie would either be in the room or busy in the study.
In the shower, the more Mu Xiaoxiao thought, the more she felt that his behavior earlier was very strange. So she still wanted to ask him about why he refused to drink the soup.
Thus, she went out of the room and into the study.
However she noticed that the door was ajar.
Two figures were standing together in the study. Then, Mu Xiaoxiao heard Mama Yin and Papa Yin¡¯s voices.
But she felt that it was strange. Why did Mama Yin sound like she was¡ panting?
Instinctively, she was going to push open the door when suddenly a hand grabbed her wrist.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. She turned around to see Yin Shaojie and was relieved.
¡°What are you¡¡±
Before she could finish speaking, Yin Shaojie made a shush gesture at her.
Puzzled, Mu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to lower her voice and ask, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±
Why were they acting so secretively?
Yin Shaojie heard the sounds in the study, and he gave her a mirthlessugh. ¡°You can¡¯t tell from the sound of what they are doing inside?¡±
¡°They are inside¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly for a moment. Suddenly, the sounds from the study seemed even more suggestive.
Red-faced, she gulped down saliva as she immediately understood what they were doing!
No wonder she thought the conversation between Mama Yin and Papa Yin was a bit strange earlier.
It turned out that they were¡
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little face slowly grew even redder, and she quickly grabbed Yin Shaojie¡¯s hand, and they fled the scene.
Returning to their room, Mu Xiaoxiao closed the door, and finally felt less awkward.
God! This was the first time she had ran into parents having an intimate moment. It was so awkward!
Mu Xiaoxiao patted her chest and heaved a breath of relief. She smiled in embarrassment and asked, ¡°Mama Yin and Papa Yin are still so loving? Have you encountered this many times before?¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled helplessly, and he reached out his hand and pushed her forehead.
¡°Now you know why I don¡¯t want to drink that soup?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment. Then, she suddenly figured it out. ¡°So that soup is¡ So that¡¯s what it is!¡±
No wonder he asked her how she felt after drinking the soup!

Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little resigned at the thought of how Mama Yin had plotted to bring them together.
Her little face looking bitter, she pped his shoulder and said, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you stop me back then? I had two bowls! Then will I also¡¡±
Yin Shaojie exined, ¡°Actually, the ingredients will help in this area, but it isn¡¯t harmful to the body. So you don¡¯t have to worry.¡±
Actually, this ingredient was also a tonic, which had some benefits on men. Women could take it too as a supplement.
Mu Xiaoxiao was relieved upon hearing that.
However¡
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him unhappily, pouting.
Strange. Usually, he would try all kinds of ways to be intimate with her. Wasn¡¯t this a great opportunity for him to get intimate with her?
Why was he being so upright today?
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little gloomy. But on the other hand, she thought that maybe she was thinking too much.
After all, they were now at the Yin residence and his parents were around. So perhaps that was why he didn¡¯t dare to act so wantonly.
And they had went driving around today so they were exhausted.
Seeing that her little face was red, Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help but reach out and ce his hand on her forehead and asked, ¡°It¡¯s not having an effect on you now, is it? Do you feel a little hot?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pulled down his hand, her eyes blinked, and she said, ¡°Maybe. It¡¯s only my face that¡¯s a little hot.¡±
Suddenly, she went up to hug him, and ced her little face against his chest.
It seemed like a deliberate attempt to tease him.
¡°You¡ Isn¡¯t there anything you want to do to me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was slightly hot. She just didn¡¯t have the courage to say that to him.
She clearly wasn¡¯t that kind of girl.
But upon falling in love, girls became a different person.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yin Shaojie felt that she was like a kitty trying to gain his affection.
Although he liked it very much, it was a sweet torment at this point in time.
Yin Shaojie gave a mirthless smile.
Why didn¡¯t he get this kind of good treatment when he wasn¡¯t injured?
At this time, he didn¡¯t suspect that Xiaoxiao had a different intention. He only thought that she was being so clingy with him because of the car ident.
However, this was good too. If she clung to him, didn¡¯t that mean that she cared about him?
Mu Xiaoxiao buried her face in his neck, her warm breaths were like feathers as they caressed his skin.
If she wasn¡¯t so shy, she would¡¯ve done something that was even more obvious, but she didn¡¯t dare to do it.
Oh, how frustrating!
She was frustrated at the thought of it. Was she being too anxious?
It wasn¡¯t like she wanted something to happen immediately.
Suddenly, she felt quite ridiculous.
Thoughts running through her mind, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but sigh at him.
Yin Shaojie chuckled and stroked her little head with his big hand. He secretly repressed his passions, pretending to be flippant as he teased her, ¡°If you are feeling ufortable, why don¡¯t you go take a cold shower?¡±
He had taken many cold showers before. This time, it should be her turn, right?
Yin Shaojie grinned.
Mu Xiaoxiao snorted at him, opened her mouth, and bit his chest.
But his solid muscles were a bit too hard to bite so she had to change spots. She bit his shoulder, but it was still too hard!
She punched him in frustration. ¡°Why are you so hard?¡±
Yin Shaojie raised his eyebrows, his dark eyes growing with intrigue, his voice slightly deep as he chuckled and asked, ¡°Which part is hard?¡±
Chapter 947 - Wishing to Give Herself to Him (35)

Mu Xiaoxiao poked his shoulder with her finger. ¡°Here! It¡¯s hard! I don¡¯t see you exercising usually. How can you be so fit?¡±
¡°Stop poking. If you keep poking, other parts will get hard.¡± Yin Shaojie stared at her with a deep gaze. His deep voice seemed to have turned up a notch in sexiness.
¡°Where?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t get the hint, and she said angrily, ¡°Which part of your body isn¡¯t hard? Besides your face. Where else?¡±
Yin Shaojie gritted his teeth. ¡°There¡¯s a ce that is not hard at first. But it¡¯s getting hard now with the way you¡¯re talking.¡±
¡°Where?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was curious this time.
Amused, Yin Shaojie watched her. ¡°Why don¡¯t you make a guess?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue. ¡°Your tongue? No, that¡¯s not right. Which other part is soft at first andter bes hard¡¡±
With that said, her little face froze.
Yin Shaojie knew that she should have figured it out. The elegant face wore a sinister smile as he grabbed her little hand and ced it over a certain part of him below.
¡°Did you guess right?¡± he said, lowering his voice.
As though she were scalded, Mu Xiaoxiao quickly retracted her little hand, her face red.
¡°You¡¯re too perverted!¡±
Yin Shaojie wrapped her in his arms, and said yfully, ¡°I¡¯m only perverted towards you. You would be worried if I wasn¡¯t perverted, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao felt like she was surrounded by his manly scent.
She couldn¡¯t stand the intense pheromones and felt that her heart was about to explode.
She quickly bent over, snuck out from under his arm, and quickly escaped to the bed.
However, the moment she hid under the nket, she regretted it.
He had finally made his move, but she retreated. How could she be so useless!
Mu Xiaoxiao thought about whether she should take the initiative. Should she hint to him that he shoulde over?
But how should she tell him?
Just when she was at a loss, she heard Yin Shaojie¡¯s footsteps approaching.
Mu Xiaoxiao rejoiced, thinking that he was going to continue what he was doing. She was nervous yet also looking forward to it as she gripped the nket.
In the next second, the nket was pulled away. Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice came above her, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t smother yourself under the nket. You should go to sleep first. I still have some things to do.¡±
With that said, he pulled the nket over her and was about to walk out.
¡°Where are you going?!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao sat up quickly and stopped him.
Yin Shaojie was reminded that the study was upied. He turned back and took theptop from the drawer of the table before saying to her, ¡°¡®l¡¯ll be busy in the living room. You have a rest here.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want him to go out. She pouted and said, ¡°You can stay in the room. Don¡¯t go out.¡±
¡°It¡¯ll be noisy,¡± he said.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°I won¡¯t find it noisy. And it¡¯s still quite early. I can¡¯t sleep.¡±
Yin Shaojie agreed to her demand, ¡°Okay then.¡±
He took theputer to the sofa and ced it on the coffee table. Yin Shaojie sat on the carpet.
Mu Xiaoxiao got down from the bed and walked over to him.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t even look up as he reminded her. ¡°Wear your slippers.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue and put on her slippers. Then she walked over to him and sat with him on the carpet.
Then, she watched as his fingers typed speedily on the keyboard as though they were flying.
Although she was curious, she didn¡¯t want to bother him.
She lifted her hand, took a pillow from the sofa, and hugged it. She just silently sat there as she watched him tapping on the keyboard, with no idea what he was doing.

Yin Shaojie knew that she didn¡¯t understand, so he didn¡¯t need to worry that she was looking.
After watching for some time Mu Xiaoxiao yawned.
Yin Shaojie said tepidly, ¡°If you are sleepy, go to bed.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°I want to keep youpany.¡±
Yin Shaojie chuckled, reached out, and touched her head. Then his hand stopped. He picked up the house phone on the coffee table and called the helper to bring him a cup of hot milk and a cup of water.
Seeing that he had stopped, Mu Xiaoxiao asked curiously, ¡°What are you doing? I don¡¯t understand.¡±
¡°Checking some information.¡± Yin Shaojie thought for a moment and exined to her, ¡°Didn¡¯t we suspect that Su Lin was behind the previous incidents? I¡¯m looking for evidence. The guy who used to sit in front of you gave us some clues. I started with the clues he gave us to see if there was anything that would point us to Su Lin.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly understood it from his simple exnation, ¡°Is this called proving by contradiction?¡±
¡°Smart!¡± Yin Shaojie gave her a smile of approval.
Just then, the helper brought in hot milk and water before leaving.
Yin Shaojie put the hot milk in front of her. ¡°Drink it. You¡¯ll sleep better.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao yawned and refused the hot milk. She wasn¡¯t a three-year-old child anymore. Why would she need to drink milk?
¡°I don¡¯t need it. I¡¯m quite sleepy now.¡±
¡°Yes. Hurry up and drink it. Be good.¡± Yin Shaojie urged her. Actually, he wanted to let her sleep early. With her by his side, there were some things that were inconvenient to do.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. ¡°Okay then¡¡±
She picked up the hot milk and drank it slowly.
Yin Shaojie leaned over and kissed her cheek. ¡°That¡¯s more like it. If you feel sleepy, go to bed, alright?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and put the cup back on the coffee table. Then she continued to ask, ¡°So have you found anything?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression was a bitplicated. ¡°I found something. Let me do a thorough investigation and I¡¯ll report it to you in detail, okay? Go and sleep.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry about me. Keep going,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said. She was not nning to go back to bed and just wanted to stay with him.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t know what to do with her, so he let her be.
He continued to tapping on the keyboard.
After some time he felt thirsty. When he picked up the cup to drink, a window appeared on the screen, and there was an English sentence.
¡ª¡ªJ, I heard that you were injured?
Yin Shaojie was stunned for a moment and he quickly minimized the dialog box.
Reminded that Xiaoxiao was sitting next to him, he quickly nced at her, afraid she might have seen the sentence.
However, he saw Xiaoxiao holding the pillow, her little head lying above it. She had fallen asleep without him knowing.
Yin Shaojie breathed a sigh of relief and couldn¡¯t help but chuckle.
He stood up and walked to the other side of the room, gently picked her up, and walked over to the bed.
When he ced Mu Xiaoxiao on the bed, she still hugged his arm as though she depended on it and didn¡¯t want him to go.
Yin Shaojie lowered his head and his thin lips kissed the corners of her mouth before she could let go of his hand.
He covered her properly with the nket and dimmed the light in the room before he walked back to the coffee table.
On theputer screen, the dialog box popped up again with a new line of English.
¡ª¡ªWas the other party too powerful or were you too weak?
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes narrowed, looking annoyed, as he quickly typed the words.
¡ª¡ªMe, weak? Who was the one who fell for the honeytrap,ter found out that the beauty was actually a man, and almost went to bed with him?

The other party¡¯s message appeared quickly.
¡ª¡ª F***! I told you not to mention this incident ever again! Never mention it again! Forget all of it!
Yin Shaojie was sessful in his provocation and he smiled as he replied him.
¡ª¡ª That¡¯s a little difficult. After all, the process was too exciting. I heard that you met that person again?
The other person, provoked by him, didn¡¯t reply butunched on attack on hisputer.
Yin Shaojie dealt with it easily, fingers flying across his keyboard.
After a few rounds, the two of them seemed to be tied, as none of them were able to infiltrate the other¡¯sputer.
In the middle of this, Yin Shaojie got worried that the sound of his typing would wake Xiaoxiao up and so looked up to check on her a few times. Upon making sure that she was sound asleep, he rxed.
After another round, the other person sent another message.
¡ª¡ª F***! I¡¯ve found that guy¡¯s trail. I¡¯ll stop messing with you and go offline. Oh yeah, by the way, you have toe over next week.
Yin Shaojie looked at the date and frowned.
¡ª¡ª Change the date.
¡ª¡ªWhy?
¡ª¡ª It¡¯s my wife¡¯s birthday. I¡¯m busy.
¡ª¡ª¡ If you show off your love it¡¯ll die fast!
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyebrows rose. Ignoring the fact that the other person had said that he had something and had to leave, heunched an attack on him. After dealing with it, the other person went offline hurriedly.
Do you think I won¡¯t be able tounch an attack just because you¡¯re offline?
The corner of Yin Shaojie¡¯s lips curled up in a wicked smile and his long fingers flew across the keyboard.
¡
In the city hospital.
After staying in the hospital for so long, Su Lin was almost at her limits. Yin Shaojie hadn¡¯t visited her for the past few days and she felt as though she had been forgotten.
This feeling made her feel unhappy and she smashed things in the ward after having dinner.
The nurses were scared of her and no one dared to go near her ward.
¡°I¡¯m fine, don¡¯t listen to the nonsense that the nurse is telling you. I don¡¯t want you toe over. Let me tell the both of you: you¡¯re not allowed toe here, you hear? I¡¯m well and I don¡¯t need you toe and visit me! If you dare toe over, I¡¯ll run out immediately!¡± Su Lin screamed into her phone with a ferocious look on her face.
On the other side of the phone, Mama Su was helpless and tried to pacify her. ¡°Okay, okay, okay. We won¡¯t go to the hospital. Be good. Mama will go visit you tomorrow, okay? Sleep early tonight.¡±
¡°I know. That¡¯s all. Don¡¯t call me again. I don¡¯t want to listen to you.¡± Su Lin looked furious and she simply hung up.
However, with no one to talk to, she alone and this made her feel even worse.
¡°I want to be discharged! I don¡¯t want to stay in the hospital anymore!¡±
Su Lin lifted her covers and got off the bed impatiently.
The cast on her leg had already been taken off and her injuries were not as serious as the doctor had said. So long as she didn¡¯t do any vigorous exercise and took care of herself she could carry on with her life as usual.
Su Lin¡¯s patience was on the verge of exhaustion.
Not only had Yin Shaojie not visited her, Feng Shengyang was also nowhere to be seen.
Feng Shengyang had been so warm towards her in the past. However, even though he still whispered sweet nothings to her on the phone, his behavior towards her recently seemed considerably colder.
Su Lin had been used to being spoiled since she was young, and couldn¡¯t stand to be given the cold shoulder.
She was a little annoyed. She called Feng Shengyang out of habit, wanting him toe to the hospital to apany her. Even if he was busy, she would insist upon himing over.
She didn¡¯t care. She had to be the most important person!
However, her call didn¡¯t seem to be able to connect, as though there was a weak signal.
Su Lin frowned. Didn¡¯t he say that he was in the hospital?

Why couldn¡¯t she get through to him? Was he lying to her?
She felt more and more restless now, especially as she thought about how Feng Shengyang had been painstakingly trying to get close to Mu Xiaoxiao recently.
Wait!
Could he have fallen in love with Mu Xiaoxiao?
Was that why he was so cold to her now?
She hadn¡¯t seen him at all and he had only been calling her recently, and no matter how much he sweet talked her it couldn¡¯t pacify her.
Su Lin felt extremely vexed. Suddenly, a thought urred to her and she went to change. Making use of the fact that no nurse dared to get close to her ward, she snuck out of the hospital.
¡
In another hospital.
Afterpleting his checkup, Feng Shengyang didn¡¯t feel like returning to the ward so early. Thus, he sat on a long bench overlooking the yard, observing the scenery and the human traffic outside.
¡°Brother?¡± Feng Tianqi walked closer and sat down by his side. Puzzled, he asked, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you going back to your room? Have you not finished your checkup?¡±
¡°The checkup is done. Why are you here?¡± Feng Shengyang shot a look at him. He seemed very lethargic, but his eyes betrayed nothing.
¡°I¡¯m worried about you, okay? When are you going to be discharged?¡± Feng Tianqi loathed hospitals and didn¡¯t want to stay a second longer than he needed to. Thus, he thought that his brother would also want to get out of the hospital as soon as possible.
Actually, he was confused. ording to the situation, his brother¡¯s concussion wasn¡¯t that big of a problem now, and he could get discharged any time. Why was he not out yet?
Feng Shengyang nodded and said, ¡°I can be discharged.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s get you out of the hospital tonight then,¡± Feng Tianqi said. In his perspective, no one would want to stay in the hospital if they could be discharged as it wasn¡¯t afortable ce.
Feng Shengyang drummed his fingers against the back of the long bench. There was a mysterious smile in the corner of his lips as he said, ¡°I¡¯m not going to get out of the hospital. We¡¯ll see about it tomorrow.¡±
¡°Why?¡± Feng Tianqi was confused.
¡°I¡¯m waiting for someone toe. I think she¡¯lle tomorrow. She said she would,¡± Feng Shengyang said mildly, but his tone sounded like it had a hint of hopefulness.
At first, Feng Tianqi wondered about this person¡¯s identity, but a sh of understanding went through him. He snapped his fingers and said, ¡°Could it be Mu Xiaoxiao?!¡±
Feng Shengyang only smiled and remained silent.
¡°Brother, your smile is a little weird. I also know that you¡¯ve gotten someone to do a check on her, right? Are you so interested in her? Oh yeah, what about Su Lin? Are you going to give up just like that?¡± Feng Tianqi couldn¡¯t help but start thinking about this.
¡°Su Lin¡¡± Feng Shengyang narrowed his eyes and he reached out to pat his brother on the shoulder. ¡°It looks like you¡¯re right.¡±
¡°Ah? What am I right about?¡± Are you really going to fight with Yin Shaojie over his woman?¡±
Feng Tianqi was puzzled, but what made him even more surprised was that his brother had never been one to chase girls with boyfriends!
This Mu Xiaoxiao¡ how mesmerizing was she?
Feng Shengyangughed lightly. ¡°I¡¯m not talking about this. What did you say earlier? That I¡¯ve never given up before I¡¯ve gotten a girl?¡±
¡°So you¡¯re giving up on Su Lin?¡±
Feng Shengyang¡¯s lips curled. He looked like his interest had waned as he said, ¡°I felt that she was challenging at first, but now, she¡¯s not¡ interesting anymore.¡±
He felt that Mu Xiaoxiao was more interesting.
Why should he make things difficult for himself and continue a challenge that didn¡¯t interest him?
In a dark corner nearby stood Su Lin, who had speciallye to the hospital to look for Feng Shengyang. After hearing his words, her eyes turned a terrifying red.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao¡ Why must you snatch everything from me¡¡±

At night, near midnight.
Feng Shengyangy on the bed. He turned his phone around in his hand, a faint smile on his lips.
He looked at his phone and felt a sense of longing. He wanted to call Mu Xiaoxiao.
Even if they just exchanged a few words, to be able to hear her lively voice and suffer her mockery was more than enough.
It was close to 11 o¡¯clock. She probably wasn¡¯t asleep yet, right?
Also, today was the weekend and most girls wouldn¡¯t be sleeping yet.
Feng Shengyang rarely hesitated. He was someone who did anything he wanted to. He was used to getting his own way.
However, he hesitated now, worried that he would be disturb her sleep.
Never mind, he¡¯ll call her first!
Aftering to this decision, the smile in his eyes became deeper. Just as he was about to call Mu Xiaoxiao, a call came in.
A name shed across the screen: Su Lin.
Feng Shengyang¡¯s finger paused before he answered the call.
¡°Hello?¡± His voice lost the warmth and intimacy it had before.
Su Lin was a sensitive person and she could tell he was different now. However, she pretended that she had not noticed anything and giggled as she said, ¡°Shengyang, you¡¯re still awake? Do you miss me?¡±
¡°Yeah, are you not asleep yet? Girls should sleep early,¡± Feng Shengyang replied mildly. In the past, he would have used this chance to tease her a little and say that she had called him just as he was thinking about her and other sweet nonsense.
However, he wasn¡¯t nning to say such things now.
The corner of Su Lin¡¯s mouth turned downwards, but the charm in her voice was still present as she said, ¡°I missed you. We seem to be empathetic souls. Are you feeling better now? I really want to go and see you, but my family doesn¡¯t want to let me be discharged.¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay, I should be getting out of the hospital tomorrow. ¡°Feng Shengyang¡¯s gaze floated over outside the window. He drummed his left hand¡¯s fingers against the bed, thinking of how to end this phone call.
This was the first time he was giving up before he could get the girl, and thus hadn¡¯t thought of how to distance himself from Su Lin.
However, Su Lin originally kept him at arms¡¯ length. To put it bluntly, she was ying hard to get.
In this game of hooking up, neither of them were actually sincere.
Su Linughed lightly and said, ¡°Tomorrow? Coincidentally, I have ns. Tomorrow, I¡¯m thinking of¡¡±
Feng Shengyang interrupted her, ¡°You don¡¯t have to tell me anymore.¡±
¡°Oh, you really don¡¯t want to know about it? My n is with regards to¡ the scheme against Mu Xiaoxiao. Aren¡¯t you trying to get close to her? I know her very well, so I want you to team up with me. I¡¯ll help you get her, and you¡¯ll help me get Yin Shaojie, how about that? I thought you would be really interested in this n,¡± Su Lin deliberately said this in a regretful tone, but still revealed the n.
Upon hearing that it was a scheme against Mu Xiaoxiao, Feng Shengyang had a different reaction, as expected.
¡°Oh? Tell me then, what¡¯s your n?¡±
Su Lin said coyly, ¡°Promise me first then, you¡¯ll have to team up with me. Like this, we can both get what we want.¡±
Get what we want¡
Upon hearing this, Feng Shengyang couldn¡¯t help but to think of Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s elegant, refined face, and her firm, clear gaze.
His heart rippled with an indescribable feeling.

It had to be said that he was a little convinced.
Because right now, with how great Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie¡¯s rtionship was, there was no leeway for him to butt in at all.
Also, even trying to make friends with Mu Xiaoxiao to get close to her seemed impossible
He couldn¡¯t me Yin Shaojie for his hostility towards him, though.
If their positions had been reversed, and Mu Xiaoxiao had been his woman, he would never allow an excellent man such as Yin Shaojie to get close to her.
For the past two days in the hospital, Feng Shengyang was also thinking of all sorts of ways to try to get close to Mu Xiaoxiao in the most natural way possible, so that she would at least change her attitude towards him and not keep her distance from him.
He nodded and said, ¡°Sure, I promise you. What are you going to do?¡±
Upon getting his consent, Su Lin seemed very happy as she said, ¡°I can¡¯t tell you about it now. How about tomorrow? I¡¯ll go to the hospital to look for you tomorrow. Rx, I won¡¯t let Mu Xiaoxiao see me. See you tomorrow then.¡±
¡°Okay, see you tomorrow.¡±
Feng Shengyang was about to hang up when he heard Su Lin say, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to give me a byebye-kiss?¡±
She even made a bubbling sound at the phone after her words.
Feng Shengyang frowned. It was only then that he realized that she was acting weird. However, he didn¡¯t care about her anymore, and thus didn¡¯t want to investigate why she was acting weird.
After giving her the bye bye-kiss she wanted, Feng Shengyang hung up.
He looked at Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s number on his screen that he had searched out. Just looking at the words ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao¡± made his emotions change.
In the end, he didn¡¯t call her.
¡°I¡¯ll call you tomorrow,¡± he said, smiling.
¡
The next day.
Mu Xiaoxiao woke up slowly. Her first reaction after opening her drowsy-eyes was to look beside her, and she saw Yin Shaojie sleeping right by her side.
Being able to see him when she opened her eyes made her feel satisfied and her mood was uplifted.
She snuggled closer to the point where the tip of her nose was right in front of Yin Shaojie¡¯s. If she moved just a little closer, their noses would touch.
She looked at his iparably handsome face at this close distance, and this gorgeous, umon features. Why did he look more handsome the more she stared?
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt as though she would never get tired of looking at his face.
Her gaze was warm as it roamed over his face.
From his pretty eyebrows, to his tall nose, to his sexy lips¡
She couldn¡¯t help but to think of the feeling of them kissing. Her throat and mouth felt mysteriously dry, and her heart swelled.
She felt like kissing his lips uncontrobly.
Mu Xiaoxiao giggled. Could he also be thinking the same way when he wanted to make out with her usually?
She felt as though she had been infected with his ¡°perverseness.¡± Now, when she was with him, she couldn¡¯t help but to think dirty thoughts.
He sleeping face was cute. Usually, he was so unruly and bossy, but he gained a childlike quality when he was sleeping which reminded her of when he was a kid.
At that moment, the four years that they had been separated seemed to not exist.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help herself. She moved her little face closer so that both their faces were facing each other.
She pouted and gave his lips a shy peck.
His lips were a little dry in the morning, and it made her lips feel a little ticklish.
Chapter 953 - Wishing to Give Herself to Him (41)

She liked it better when their lips were moist and soft when they kissed. When their lips were deeply entwined, there would be a sticky feeling, as if they were going to melt into one.
As though she had disturbed him, Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyshes moved.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that he should be awake. He was just pretending to sleep, right?
She deliberately tapped his nose with her finger.
¡°Sleeping beauty, oh sleeping beauty. Are you awake?¡± she whispered.
Yin Shaojie only turned over. His eyes didn¡¯t open and he continued to sleep.
Was he really sleeping so soundly?
She had been deep in her sleep since she dozed offst night. She had no idea what time he had fallen asleep.
Could he have been busyte into the night and slept veryte? Perhaps he was still in deep sleep.
Mu Xiaoxiao retracted her neck, feeling a tinge of guilt. She decided not to disturb his sleep.
She wondered if he had found a solution to the problem regarding Su Lin.
Mu Xiaoxiao shifted back a little. Without disturbing him, she stared at his elegant face for a long time.
After some time, Yin Shaojie seemed to have woken up. He opened his eyes slightly and saw a pair of big eyes staring at him.
Yin Shaojie was shocked.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and said, ¡°Hey, what¡¯s the meaning of that? You don¡¯t like waking up to the sight of me?¡±
¡°Of course not. But can you not¡¡± Put your face right in front of him?
Her eyes were already big. From such a close distance, and with her eyes widened as she stared at him, how could it not have scared him?
And usually when he woke up, the wretch would still be sleeping, so he would usually see her sleeping instead.
Yin Shaojieughed bitterly, ¡°You are leaning so close. How do you expect me to react?¡±
Everyone¡¯s brain works slower when just waking up.
Of course, Mu Xiaoxiao was not really angry with him. Her little face went up to him, and she took the initiative and kissed his thin lips.
¡°Did you sleeptest night? You seemed to be in a deep sleep.¡±
She had been awake and staring at him for a long time already. He didn¡¯t feel it?
Of course, Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t tell her that he had taken medicine before going to bed. The medicine had some effect that would help put one to sleep, so he was in a deeper sleep. This was also to ensure that he would fall asleep.
He reached out and pulled her into his arms as usual. In a husky voice, he said, ¡°A littlete.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. ¡°Don¡¯t sleep sote. Staying upte is bad for your health. You can still investigate those things in the morning.¡±
¡°It¡¯s not just about investigating those things. There¡¯s also other stuff.¡± Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t borate about that.
America and China were in different time zones. When it was midnight in China, it was morning in America. He had tomand some people over in America for some things, so he had no choice but to stay upte.
Mu Xiaoxiao pressed her face against his chest, and her small hands crossing and propping up her chin. ¡°Did youe to any conclusions?¡±
¡°Yeah, I did,¡± Yin Shaojie said. He reached out his hand, using his long fingers as ab as he helped her smoothen her messy, long hair.
He said, ¡°What Uncle Su said is true. Su Lin was really¡ so that was why she became mentally unstable. However, Uncle Su kept one thing from me. Perhaps, he might have thought it wasn¡¯t important, so he didn¡¯t say it.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up in surprise. ¡°What is it?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes were brooding as he said, ¡°Su Lin isn¡¯t simply mentally unstable. She also has schizophrenia¡¡±

¡°The report of her treatment in America stated that she exhibited strange symptoms during her treatment.¡±
¡°What strange symptoms? What does that mean?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t fully understand.
Yin Shaojie exined inly, ¡°To put it simply, she doesn¡¯t have a good grip on reality. However, this wasn¡¯t clearly confirmed in the report though I think it¡¯s possible.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought about it for a moment. ¡°But wouldn¡¯t anyone with mental illness act like that? Sometimes it can seem like they have be another person so much so that other people wouldn¡¯t recognize them.¡±
¡°Yeah. Perhaps it is because of this that there is no clear distinction, so the doctor also couldn¡¯t confirm it,¡± Yin Shaojie nodded and replied.
Though Mu Xiaoxiao had some smarts, but this kind ofplicated topic was giving her a headache.
She groaned, ¡°Can we not talk about such aplicated topic so early in the morning?¡±
Suddenly, her legs stepped over him as she almost climbed up on him.
Yin Shaojie chuckled, the corner of his mouth turning up in a smile. He furtively turned his body slightly lest she squashed his wound.
¡°Sleep in!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said in a righteous manner,ying her head on his chest. Like a kitten, she rubbed herself against him, their necks snarled up together.
Forget how her upper body was moving haphazardly, that shapely butt of hers was actually rubbing against the part of him below his waist. Who knew if she was doing it intentionally or not.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s body froze for a moment. Guys were easily aroused in the morning, yet she still did this kind of thing.
He¡¯s breathing became slightly erratic and his gaze deepened.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and grumbled, ¡°Is your entire body made of muscle? It¡¯s so hard. I can¡¯t sleepfortably.¡±
¡°Then do you still want to sleep,ying on me?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s maic voice was a little husky.
Mu Xiaoxiao was bummed.
She had already gone to this extent. Did he still not get the hint?
Must she say, ¡°I want to give myself to you. Come eat me,¡± to make him understand?
This idiot!
He was always so smart. Why did he be so dense now?
Maddening! Maddening!
Mu Xiaoxiao said in a huff, ¡°I just like leaning on you.¡±
¡°Of course you can. I¡¯m all yours. You can sleep however you want,¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes were amused as he said, his tone was as yful and suggestive as usual.
¡°You¡¯re all mine?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrow. Hearing that, her little face sparked with vigor as her clear big eyes stared at his.
¡°Yes. Do you have doubts about that?¡± Yin Shaojie reached out and pushed the loose hair in her face behind her ears.
Mu Xiaoxiao said slowly, ¡°So¡ if you¡¯re all mine, does that mean that I can do anything I want to you?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes narrowed, and his smile was quite sinister. ¡°What do you want to do, my dearest wife?¡±
Having not heard him call her this way for some time, Mu Xiaoxiao was ovee with sweetness.
¡°Call me that again,¡± she ordered.
Yin Shaojieughed, and he deliberately prolonged thest syble. ¡°My dearest wife~¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled and she sat up on his waist. Like a viin, her eyes narrowed as she stared at him and rubbed her hands together.
¡°I want to some indescribable things to you~~¡±

¡°Indescribable?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes were intrigued. ¡°How indescribable?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao snorted at him in a tsundere manner, her little hand reaching over, and her fair fingers slowly unbuttoned his pajamas.
Yin Shaojie squinted. Seeing that she was undoing his pajamas halfway, he was about to stop her lest she saw his injury when she stopped.
He didn¡¯t move, waiting to see what she was going to do next. Frankly, he was quite looking forward to it.
He was vexed. Why did he have to be hurt at this time?
Given that it was so rare to see her take the initiative, it was a shame that he couldn¡¯t just eat her up.
How lovely and thoughtful of her. It was really making him¡
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little hand stroked his sturdy chest muscles. She pursed her lips, leaned down over him, about to go in for a kiss.
With a deep gaze, Yin Shaojie watched her move, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Unfortunately, a ringtone interrupted them.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned, and she turned to look at the cell phone on the nightstand.
It was her cell phone that rang.
Yin Shaojie was waiting for her next move. Although he couldn¡¯t eat her up, he could at least have a taste of her but he never expected to be interrupted by a ringtone.
Talk about bad timing! Why now?
¡°Don¡¯t pick it up!¡± he said, annoyed.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed. She held his elegant face with both hands, bent down and kissed him. ¡°Let me see who it is.¡±
She wondered if it might be Qiqing, So she thought she should answer it lest Qiqing would pester her with questions afterwards.
She climbed off of him and reached for the cell phone. Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help but be disappointed. Just the thought of being intimate with Xiaoxiao made him feel hot.
Unfortunately, he was injured now, it wasn¡¯t convenient for her to get handsy with him. If not, even if he couldn¡¯t eat her up, they could still kiss and pet each other, and he could let her use her hands on him likest time¡
Yin Shaojie shook his head. He didn¡¯t dare to continue fantasizing. A certain part of him was beginning to rouse.
To be able to see but not eat was really a torment!
Mu Xiaoxiao picked up the cell phone. The caller ID showed a number that was unknown.
But she seemed to recall seeing this number. It was Feng Shengyang¡¯s number.
She couldn¡¯t help but frown slightly. Why did he call her so early in the morning?
Just when Yin Shaojie wanted to conceal a certain part of him and get out of bed to go to the washroom, Mu Xiaoxiao crawled back to him.
¡°It¡¯s Feng Shengyang,¡± she reported to him before answering the call.
She wanted to know what exactly Feng Shengyang wanted.
But she knew that if she answered the Feng Shengyang¡¯s call, Yin Shaojie would be jealous, so she answered the call in front of him, with the speaker turned on.
Hearing that it was Feng Shengyang who called, Yin Shaojie¡¯s face turned grim. He didn¡¯t get off the bed. He reached for her and pulled her toward him.
¡°Hello,¡± she said.
Feng Shengyang said in a sweet and amused tone. ¡°Morning, have you gotten out of bed yet?¡±
¡°Not yet. You called so early. Don¡¯t you think you might disturb someone sleeping?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said bluntly.
Feng Shengyang wasn¡¯t angry, but he joked instead, ¡°It seems that you love to sleep in. But from the sound of your voice, I don¡¯t think I have woken you up. You have been awake for some time. Am I right?¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t expect his hearing to be so keen.
¡°Is anything the matter?¡± She changed the subject because the arm she holding her became tense. It was Yin Shaojie telling her to hang up the call and he even struck a pose, wanting to snatch the phone away from her.
Mu Xiaoxiao made a shush gesture to him, and wanted him to listen to what Feng Shengyang was trying to do.
Feng Shengyang¡¯s tone became somewhat serious as he said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you wouldle to see me today? If you don¡¯te to see me, I will be discharged soon. In order for you to show me sincerity, I¡¯m waiting for you toe see me before I get discharged. ¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused. She nced at a particr demon beside her. Sure enough, his expression grew dark as he red at her.
She spread open her hand and said to Feng Shengyang, ¡°If you can be discharged from the hospital that means your condition is fine, right?¡±
So she didn¡¯t have to visit him at the hospital anymore?
¡°My condition is fine¡ but now there is a big problem. Initially, I wanted to ask you not toe to hospital, since I don¡¯t want you to anything to happen to you. But then again, I think you¡¯d bettere. You can see with your own eyes the true colors of the people close to you.¡± Feng Shengyang¡¯s tone was odd when he said that.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t understand him. ¡°What do you mean by that?¡±
Feng Shengyang sighed and said in a mocking tone, ¡°Sigh. You are so innocent-minded that I don¡¯t know what to say. Are you going to help someone count his money after he has cheated you?¡±
¡°Hey! Are you calling me dumb?¡± He made little sense earlier. It was only normal that she didn¡¯t understand him, right?
¡°I know Su Lin,¡± Feng Shengyang suddenly said.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled, ¡°Ah? What? You know Su Lin?¡±
She and Yin Shaojie exchanged nces.
Yin Shaojie eyes narrowed.
Feng Shengyang said in a serious tone, ¡°Last night, she called me to ask me for a favor. Initially, I didn¡¯t want to help, but because the matter involved you, I told her that I would help so I could hear her n.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
This was a development she hadn¡¯t expected.
¡°So what is your¡ rtionship with her?¡± she asked.
Feng Shengyang coughed over the phone. ¡°Don¡¯t misunderstand. I don¡¯t have that kind of rtionship with her. She and I¡ are friends, I guess? I had a filming job a while ago, so I stayed in America for half a month and I met her there. She told me that her good friend had stolen her boyfriend from her¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t tell me that she was referring to me?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao thought it wasughable.
¡°Yes,¡± Feng Shengyang replied.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed from a fit of anger. ¡°What did she say? What is she going to do to me this time?¡±
He said seriously, ¡°She didn¡¯t tell me the entire n, but she knows that you areing to the hospital to see me today and she wanted me to go along with her. Initially, I was going to tell you not toe, but she won¡¯t be able to carry out her n this time so she will still target you next time. I thought I might as well tell you everything¡¡±
Telling them about her n was as good as turning to their side to work against Su Lin.
After listening to his words, Mu Xiaoxiao was silent for some time before saying, ¡°Give me some time to think. I¡¯ll call you againter.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Feng Shengyang hung up.
In the hospital, lying on the bed, there was deep amusement in the corner of his mouth.
He thought about what Su Lin saidst night.
¡°Though the two of them are together, they haven¡¯t had sex yet, so I want to take Shaojie¡¯s first¡¡±
Chapter 957 - Wishing to Give Herself to Him (45)

At that moment, Feng Shengyang smiled mildly and said, ¡°Even if you wish to give yourself to him, it still depends on whether he¡¯ll want you or not, right? Are you confident that he will want you? Or do you intend to drug him?¡±
What¡¯s the point of taking him by force? If it was possible, that is.
However, Feng Shengyang didn¡¯t remind her about that. He only continued to listen to her so-called n as he continued to wear a mild smile.
Su Lin tried to test him. ¡°So, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s first time is still avable, if you are interested in her¡¡±
¡°I already knew that.¡± Feng Shengyang didn¡¯t give her the answer she wanted.
Su Lin chuckled. ¡°So you admit to it? You are interested in Mu Xiaoxiao, right? No wonder you have been cold to me recently. Fortunately, I was smart to not agreed to date you. Otherwise, I would be broken-hearted now.¡±
What she wanted to hear was his retort. He wanted him to talk sweetly to her like he did before.
However, Feng Shengyang had no intention of sweet-talking to make her happy anymore. He only smiled and said, ¡°Have you forgotten? You were the one who wanted me to get close to her.¡±
Su Lin only felt more upset. She felt as though she had given him freely to Mu Xiaoxiao.
Feng Shengyang didn¡¯t want her finding out about his actual thoughts, so he changed the subject back to her n.
But at that moment, he was already thinking of something else.
¡
After hanging up the phone, Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Yin Shaojie and asked, ¡°Do you think he was telling the truth?¡±
She felt it was quite unbelievable. It turned out that Su Lin and Feng Shengyang actually knew each other?
¡°It¡¯s more likely that he was telling the truth,¡± Yin Shaojie analyzed and said, ¡°However, Feng Shengyang is an odd person. Don¡¯t be too trusting of the things he says.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao felt that things were way over her head now. ¡°What should we do then? Do I have to go to hospital as he said? Or should I just stay away from Su Lin?¡±
Yin Shaojie thought about it. ¡°Do as he said. He might know about the things about Su Lin, so I think we can cooperate with him for the time being to see if we can get something out of him.¡±
Although he wasn¡¯t happy letting Xiaoxiao approach Feng Shengyang, the most important thing they had to deal with was the threat that was Su Lin.
Su Lin was mentally unstable. Who knew what she might do next.
As for why Feng Shengyang changed sides, they could think about thatter.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked into his eyes and pouted. ¡°You don¡¯t want me to go to the hospital alone, do you? I¡¯m scared¡¡±
The thought of Su Lin hiding in some dark spot and not knowing what she might do to her was worrying Mu Xiaoxiao.
She wasn¡¯t scared of Su Lin in the past. But now that she knew that Su Lin wasn¡¯t normal and she that might even have split personalities, just the thought of running into her was scaring her, not to mention how Su Lin would react if the two did meet.
Yin Shaojie stroked her head and said, ¡°Of course, I won¡¯t let you go alone. However, if I go with you, Su Lin may not carry out her n. But don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll get someone to protect you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed and leaned her little head on his shoulder. ¡°I don¡¯t feel very good about this¡¡±
Yin Shaojie bent down his head and stared at her crown with his dark eyes. He thought for a moment and said, ¡°If you are really scared¡¡±
He didn¡¯t want her to be burdened with all these scary things either.

Mu Xiaoxiao quickly shook her head. ¡°Don¡¯t mind it. Just like you said, we have to solve this problem. We can¡¯t just let Su Lin go on like this, right?¡±
The feeling of having someone constantly watching you and could hurt you anytime was even worse.
Yin Shaojie kissed her forehead and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t let anything happen to you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up, smiled as he looked in his eyes. ¡°I know.¡±
Yin Shaojie bent down pecked her on her little mouth.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but hook her arms around his neck, as their lips and tongues wrapped around each other.
¡
Mu Xiaoxiao went to the hospital ording to their appointment.
A few meters behind her were a few people secretly protecting her.
Upon entering the ward, she saw Feng Shengyang in his casual attire. He didn¡¯t look like a patient at all as he leaned against the sofa.
Seeing that she had arrived, he greeted her with a romantic smile, reached out his hand like a gentleman to hold up Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand, ready to kiss it.
Mu Xiaoxiao retracted her hand immediately.
¡°What are you doing?¡± She shot a look at him.
Feng Shengyang joked, ¡°It¡¯s gentlemanly etiquette. Come sit down. Do you want to eat fruits? During my hospital stay, that rascal Tianqi brought me a lot of fruits. I simply can¡¯t finish them.¡±
Actually, most of the fruits were sent by rich kids as an apology. But they were afraid to face him, so they had Feng Tianqi bring them to him instead.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, ¡°I just ate breakfast. So no thanks. You can eat it yourself.¡±
She looked around at the room. Perhaps it was because of the things he said that were making her paranoid, but she felt as if something was watching her.
Su Lin couldn¡¯t be hiding in some room watching her, could she?
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but shudder.
¡°Let¡¯s get right down to it. How much do you know about Su Lin?¡± She tried to worm facts out of him.
Feng Shengyang, who had a high IQ, did not get what she was trying to do.
However, he was very frank and said bluntly, ¡°Actually, I know about a lot of things that she did.¡±
¡°A lot? For example?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao continued to ask.
Feng Shengyang walked over to the sofa and sat down. He patted the seat beside him, telling her toe sit next to him.
But of course Mu Xiaoxiao wouldn¡¯t sit so close to him, and she chose to sit in the armchair.
Seeing her guarded behavior, Feng Shengyang¡¯s smile didn¡¯t seem very happy. He suddenly said, ¡°Do you know why I decided to be honest with you?¡±
¡°Why?¡± Actually, she was more interested in continuing the previous topic, to know what were the things Su Lin did.
Feng Shengyang said to her in a sincere manner, ¡°Because¡ I want to be friends with you. To be precise, I think it¡¯s worth it to be friends with you and Yin Shaojie.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao said with amazement, ¡°I thought¡ you knew that Su Lin was mentally ill, so you chose to help us¡¡±
After all, mental illness wasn¡¯t an ordinary illness. Any normal person would know which side to choose.
Upon hearing that, Feng Shengyang gave a startled expression that was very rare of him.
¡°What did you say? She¡¯s mentally ill?!¡±
This time, his expression wasn¡¯t faked at all. He was really shocked.
Mu Xiaoxiao asked curiously. ¡°Didn¡¯t you know? Didn¡¯t you meet her in America? The reason she went to America was to treat her illness.¡±
Feng Shengyang was speechless.
His expression was saying, ¡°You¡¯re breaking my balls!¡±!

His expression was simply too funny. Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but to cover her mouth and giggle.
Feng Shengyang shot a look at her. The corner of his mouth twitched and he said displeasedly, ¡°You think that¡¯s funny?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded sincerely. ¡°Pfft, yeah¡¡±
Feng Shengyang held his forehead, as though he had been shocked by this truth. He didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry as he repeated, ¡°She has a mental illness? But she didn¡¯t tell me!¡±
¡°Pfft!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but tough again. This time, herughter was even more outrageous.
¡°Are you dumb? How can she tell you that she¡¯s got a mental illness? Have you never watched television dramas? All the people who have mental illnesses will say that they don¡¯t have it, and are normal people! No one will admit to having a mental illness!¡±
Feng Shengyang bit his lip and looked at her. Suddenly, he asked, ¡°Do you have a mental illness then?¡±
¡°Of course not!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said.
Feng Shengyang widened his eyes pointed a finger at her. ¡°See, you¡¯re not admitting that you have a mental illness. You just said that people who have mental illness won¡¯t admit that they do.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had been outsmarted by him and waved his finger away. ¡°You¡¯re some!¡±
¡°You were the one whoughed at me first.¡± Feng Shengyang harrumphed.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt as though he was very childish and felt likeughing.
Perhaps it was that all guys had a childish side?
It was whether or not he was willing to show it to you.
Mysteriously, Mu Xiaoxiao felt as though she had be a little closer to Feng Shengyang, and wasn¡¯t as guarded towards him as before.
She coughed. ¡°Can we continue what we were talking about? Can you tell me what Su Lin did in the past?¡±
¡°I was nning to tell you this by asking you toe here.¡± This time, Feng Shengyang was very generous and told her everything directly.
It seemed as though Su Lin had arranged for someone to take pictures of her and Yin Shaojie secretly way back in the past, and even bribed her ssmate, Yu Zhe, and a person called Han Xue¡¯er to make her the instrument of crime.
Feng Shengyang couldn¡¯t help but sigh deeply. ¡°Actually, she¡¯s quite capable. Even though she¡¯s in America, she could still manipte people to do so many things.¡±
Upon hearing his words, Mu Xiaoxiao went quiet.
So it seemed that Su Lin was the mastermind behind all these things.
What was unforgivable to Xiaoxiao was that Su Lin used Yu Zhe¡¯s weakness so that he would betray her!
Mu Xiaoxiao balled her fists angrily. ¡°How could she do this¡ Does she hate me that much!¡±
Feng Shengyang observed her expression and said, ¡°When I hung out with her, she kept scolding you for taking her man away, and other sorts of things¡ anyway, it doesn¡¯t sound good, and I think it¡¯s better that you don¡¯t know about it.¡±
¡°I thought¡ she only loathed me at most, and wanted to pit herself against me¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao really couldn¡¯t understand why Su Lin was so vicious.
Feng Shengyang looked at her and said suddenly, ¡°You¡¯re just going to believe what I say? Do you trust people this easily?¡±
Or rather, is it because it¡¯s me that you believe what I¡¯m saying?
He wished that this was the case.
Mu Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and looked into her eyes. Shaking her head, she said, ¡°Of course not! I can discern things, okay? We¡¯ve suspected Su Lin for a long time, but just had no evidence.¡±
¡°My words can¡¯t be treated as evidence as well,¡± Feng Shengyang stated bluntly.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°I know, but you¡¯ve at least let me confirm that those things were really carried out by her. Aish¡¡±

When she thought about it, it did seem quite scary for someone to have tried to hurt her by all manner of means.
¡°What are you nning to do?¡± he asked. Now that he knew that Su Lin was ill, he knew he had chosen well.
¡°What else can we do? Uncle Su hase to beg us for help¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao sighed deeply. Her heart was heavy.
Even though she didn¡¯t have a close rtionship with the Su family because she and Su Lin were enemies, Uncle and Auntie Su were quite nice to her whenever they met. Also, she could tell that they really loved Su Lin.
It might be because Su Lin was the child they had longed for for a long time.
The Su¡¯s had Su Lin when they were older, so they treated her as if she were a jewel, never wanting her to suffer anything at all.
This could be why Su Lin was rude and unreasonable.
Feng Shengyang seemed to be able to tell what she was thinking. His gaze deepened as he looked at her and said, ¡°You¡¯re too kind.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and denied. ¡°I¡¯m not¡ I¡¯m also very, very angry.¡±
Su Lin caused her to endure a friend¡¯s betrayal, and even caused her to be in danger over and over again. Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t forgive her.
¡°But¡ I don¡¯t know what to do¡¡±
She thought about Uncle Su, who had begged them desperately.
Parental love seemed like a pitiful thing.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought about her own parents. Every parent was willing to sacrifice anything for their children.
Uncle Su was the same. Even if he had to lower his pride and beg his juniors humbly for help, he only wanted nothing more than his child to be well.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Feng Shengyang. Smiling bitterly, she said, ¡°What do you think I should do? I can¡¯t do whatever she did to me to her as revenge, right? If I do that, how am I different from her?¡±
Feng Shengyang stared at her, an unspeakable emotion churning in his heart.
Suddenly, he felt like protecting the girl right in front of him.
Mu Xiaoxiao wiped her face and said, ¡°I want to make a call. May I?¡±
Upon hearing this, Feng Shengyang guessed that she was going to call Yin Shaojie. His gaze became a little heavy but he still said, ¡°Sure.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao took her phone out. Walking two steps to the side, she made a call to Yin Shaojie.
The phone didn¡¯t even ring twice before Yin Shaojie picked up.
¡°Jie¡¡± She called out softly, a dependency in her voice that she herself couldn¡¯t hear.
Feng Shengyang¡¯s gaze shifted slightly. He stared at her little face, observing every expression she was making.
These expressions were made only for Yin Shaojie.
Mu Xiaoxiao told Yin Shaojie what Feng Shengyang had told her verbatim. ¡°It¡¯s like what you had said. Su Lin is the mastermind. What do we do now? Jie, I¡¯m confused. Whenever I think of Uncle Su¡ I can¡¯t bring myself to do it, but I loathe Su Lin too.¡±
¡°You don¡¯t have to think about anything. I¡¯m right here, and I¡¯ll settle everything.¡± Yin Shaojieforted her.
After hanging up.
Yin Shaojie looked at Su Lin, his gaze heavy.
Su Lin smiled beautifully. ¡°Xiaoxiao was the one who called, right? What did she tell you? I¡¯m so jealous of her¡ do you know that? The tone of voice you use to talk to her is different from when you talk to anyone else. When we were kids, I always thought that it would be so nice if you could use that tone of voice to talk to me as well.¡±
¡°Shaojie¡¡± Her gaze was tainted with a little madness as she looked at him and said, ¡°Do you know how much I like you? I like you, I like you so much that¡ I am willing to do anything for you. This is something that Mu Xiaoxiao cannot do.¡±

Originally, Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze was very icy. However, it softened as he seemed to think of someone.
He looked at her and said, ¡°I don¡¯t need Xiaoxiao to do anything for me. All she needs to do is to stay by my side.¡±
He only cared about how it felt when the two of them were together, and not because of what she could do for him.
Su Lin didn¡¯t expect him to say this and was stunned for a while before bursting intoughter. Unable to believe his words, she said, ¡°How can that be¡ How can you like her when she doesn¡¯t sacrifice anything for you!¡±
¡°Her being able to sacrifice anything for me doesn¡¯t determine my feelings towards her. I just like her.¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression seemed to say that this was something she wouldn¡¯t be able to understand, and his eyes returned to their original iciness.
There were standing at the side entrance of the hospital right now.
The night sky was dark outside. The handful of passersby who walked past would look over at them instinctively, but could only see two opposing silhouettes.
Su Lin was practically gritting her teeth as she said, ¡°Do you really like Xiaoxiao that much? So you like her that much? Why? Why can¡¯t it be me!¡±
Just then, her expression became malevolent, and she looked emotionally unstable.
¡°Why should I like you?¡± Yin Shaojie sneered. cing a hand in his pocket, he gazed upon her like a king.
¡°Why don¡¯t you like me? I love you more than Xiaoxiao does! I¡¯m better than her at everything. I¡¯m prettier than her and I know how to have more fun. I can amodate to you and make you happy. I can make you the center of everything, and I would do anything for you. Why don¡¯t you like me? WHY?!¡± Su Lin roared at him agitatedly. Her loud voice attracted the stares of passersby.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze was indifferent and icy cold, as though he was looking at a stranger. In a mild voice, he said, ¡°What you said is only from your own perspective.¡±
Su Lin seemed to not be listening to him, for she had sunk into her own world.
¡°I don¡¯t want much. I only want you¡ But you only have Mu Xiaoxiao in your eyes. Why won¡¯t you look at me? If you would just look at me, you would discover that I¡¯m the one who love you the most, and I¡¯m the woman who¡¯s the most suited to you. Why are you covering your eyes and only willing to look at Mu Xiaoxiao?¡±
¡°Do you know that when I was little, I fell in love with you at first sight? I thought that you were the most handsome boy that I had everid my eyes upon. Also, you¡¯re good at everything. I only had eyes for you wherever you appeared, and my eyes could only hold you¡¡±
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao is so bad. She¡¯s stubborn and likes to throw tantrums. She¡¯s always bantering with you and likes to roast you, but why do you always like to y with her? I wanted to let you see her bad side, but you still chose her when you saw it. Why? WHY?!¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned. He realized that she couldn¡¯t be controlled anymore.
He had consulted the psychologist earlier. It would be dangerous if the patient enters into such a state. He had to think of a way to calm her down, or else they would have to use a stabilizer on her.
¡°Su Lin¡¡±
Before he could speak, Su Lin suddenly turned around and met his eyes. Her eyes looked as though they were dyed red.
¡°HAHAHA, this is why I hate Mu Xiaoxiao. I hate her to death! I really wish that she would hurry up and die. It¡¯d be best if she died! Why does Mu Xiaoxiao exist in this world?¡±

She gritted her teeth andughed coldly, ¡°However¡ Soon, she will disappear from this world. She will disappear forever. It¡¯s great, it¡¯s really great!¡±
¡°What do you mean?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s lower jaw clenched tightly as he looked at her sharply.
Su Lin suddenly smiled happily. Pointing at the building that Feng Shengyang was staying in, she whispered furtively, ¡°Let me tell you something. I¡¯m only telling this to you. I¡¯ve installed a bomb up there. It¡¯s a bomb. Boom ¡ª ! A big explosion! Mu Xiaoxiao will disappear, and nothing will be left of her!¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze was chilly. ¡°Are you crazy! Do you know how many people are up there?!¡±
There were at least a hundred doctors and nursesbined in that building, not to mention the hundreds of patients.
Su Lin shrugged andughed heartily. ¡°Of course I¡¯m crazy! Don¡¯t you know that already? You even wanted to trick my parents to cooperate with you and send me to America for treatment, right? Let me tell all of you that I don¡¯t want to go to that hellish ce! Don¡¯t even think of bringing me back to that hellish ce!¡±
Yin Shaojie clenched his fists. Softening his tone, he said, ¡°Tell me, where did you put the bomb? Be good and tell me.¡±
Su Lin looked towards a room in the hospital. It was the room that Feng Shengyang was staying in.
¡°Feng Shengyang has had a change of heart. He actually fell in love with Mu Xiaoxiao¡ Mu Xiaoxiao shouldn¡¯t be able to have the things that I can¡¯t have! I¡¯ll just let them die together!¡±
¡°How much time is left on the timer? Tell me.¡± Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t distracted by her change in topic, but pressed on and asked.
Su Lin said leisurely, ¡°I¡¯m not really sure. Five minutes? One minute? Hahaha¡ soon, this entire building will ¡®Boom ¡ª¡¯ and explode right in front of us! How spectacr will that be?¡±
She looked at him lovingly, and continued, ¡°Look at how nice I am to you. I didn¡¯t want you to die with Mu Xiaoxiao, so I stopped you and let you admire this spectacr sight with me. Are you happy?¡±
Yin Shaojie gazed at her chillingly. It was evident that she hadpletely descended into madness, or perhaps she was not suppressing herself anymore, and was letting her emotions out.
She had lost control, and even her own will could not control her crazed persona.
However, he had never thought that she would be able to do such a scary thing!
If she had really nted a bomb in the building just like she said¡
She had already be an extremely dangerous threat.
Such a person couldn¡¯t be allowed to have ¡°freedom¡± anymore.
Even if everyone was safe this time, what about the next time?
Given her current craziness, no one knew what kind of terrifying things she would do if given a second chance.
¡°Su Lin!¡± Yin Shaojie roused her attention. Meeting her eyes, he injected seriousness into his tone and said, ¡°Tell me, is there really a bomb? How much time does the timer have left? Can you tell me?¡±
Su Lin shook her head and smiled. ¡°No! I¡¯m not telling you! Unless¡ you answer a question from me seriously.¡±
¡°Okay, ask away.¡± Yin Shaojie nodded.
She crossed her arms in front of her chest. Looking at him expectantly, she asked, ¡°Will you take me if I give myself to you? I¡¯m being serious. Will you? You can¡¯t lie to me, and you must answer honestly. You will take me, right?¡±

Chapter 963: Whether He Wanted Her
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
She was very hung up on what Feng Shengyang had said, that even if she gave herself to Yin Shaojie, he would never want her.
Thus, she wanted to prove that Feng Shengyang was wrong!
Yin Shaojie frowned as he stared at Su Lin¡¯s expression, trying to guess at her emotions.
She was not normal anymore and was in an insane state. Thus, his answer would affect her greatly.
It was obvious that she would be provoked further and be more violent if he said no.
So should he amodate to her and pacify her?
However¡ He didn¡¯t feel like saying such a thing, even if it was false and only to pacify her.
Just then, the hidden earphone in Yin Shaojie¡¯s ear buzzed.
He pressed it against his ear to hear it clearer.
After listening to the person¡¯s report, the corners of his lips curled up.
He looked at Su Lin and said, ¡°Did you nt three bombs?¡±
Su Lin looked at him, stunned. ¡°How did you know?¡±
Yin Shaojie rxed and ordered the person on the other side, ¡°Check the entire building and its surroundings for any other signs of bombs.¡±
¡°Your people already found the bombs? How can that be!¡± Su Lin red at him in disbelief.
Yin Shaojie¡¯a lips curled into a smile. ¡°Not only have they found them, they¡¯ve also disarmed them.¡±
He had not rushed in immediately but had attempted to stall her earlier instead so his people could search for the bombs.
Su Lin staggered two steps backwards and shook her head in disbelief. ¡°It¡¯s impossible¡ How can it be! That bomb isn¡¯t something that can be disarmed so quickly. How can your people do it so fast! You¡¯re lying, right?¡±
¡°How is it impossible?¡± Yin Shaojieughed confidently, as though he were an emperor whose hand could cover the entire sky.
It was only then that Su Lin realized that she had fallen for his stalling strategy.
She could only me hercency for thinking that she would seed so long as she got Mu Xiaoxiao to go into the hospital.
Yin Shaojie stared at her coldly. ¡°Su Lin, I will now answer your question. Frankly, and without any lying ¡ª I will not want you! I, Yin Shaojie, will only want one person in my entire life, and that person is Xiaoxiao!¡±
¡°Shut up! Don¡¯t say another word! Shut up!¡± Su Lin shouted at him as she used her hands to cover her ears as her entire body staggered onto the floor.
Just then, Mu Xiaoxiao and Feng Shengyang appeared.
Behind them were two people who had evidently escorted them down.
¡°Jie, why are you here?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him uprehendingly and rushed over.
On the ground, the fallen Su Lin looked at the nearby Mu Xiaoxiao, and the expression on her face turned vicious.
A memory of her childhood rose in her mind¡¯s eye.
All of the images were of Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao being friendly. Their rtionship was so good that the people around them were envious of it.
Her eyes reddened as she stared at Mu Xiaoxiao. Suddenly, she looked at Yin Shaojie and chuckled coldly. ¡°You haven¡¯t won.¡±
Afterwards, she stood up and ran towards Mu Xiaoxiao.
Yin Shaojie frowned. When his reflexes had caught up with him, he had already missed the chance to grab at her.
¡°Su Lin, what are you doing?¡± He wanted to chase up to her.
However, Su Lin was faster. Additionally, since Mu Xiaoxiao had already ran over, the two of them were now face to face.
Even Feng Shengyang felt that something was wrong, and shouted to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Be careful of her! She¡¯s acting weird!¡±
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, I hate you! Why do you exist in this world!¡±
Su Lin looked at Mu Xiaoxiao with hatred, her expression scarily malevolent.

Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s danger senses were already going off before Su Lin ran at her. However, her reflexes were a little slow, and her wrist was caught by Su Lin.
Mu Xiaoxiao put all her effort into trying to shake her hand off. ¡°Su Lin, what are you doing!¡±
Su Linughed a curiousugh. ¡°What? I want you to die together with me. Do you want to?¡±
Everyone¡¯s eyes widened.
They saw Su Lin take something out of her pocket, and she ced her finger on the thing that was now in her hand.
¡°This is a mini bomb. The radius of the bomb spans five meters, so Mu Xiaoxiao, you can¡¯t run.¡± Su Linughed, pleased with herself. She had prepared this for something else, but she had never expected to use it here.
Mu Xiaoxiao was terrified. Her face was pale as she shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t want to¡¡±
She didn¡¯t want to die like this!
Not to mention that she didn¡¯t want to die together with Su Lin!
Yin Shaojie and Feng Shengyang tensed up as well.
Yin Shaojie attempted to walk closer. He said to Su Lin in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t do anything rash!¡±
The gears in Feng Shengyang¡¯s head turned. He softened his voice hastily, and used the tone that he usually used to sweet talk Su Lin and said, ¡°Su Lin, don¡¯t be like that. I will be very sad if you die. Don¡¯t do this, okay? Put down the bomb.¡±
However, Su Lin no longer trusted him, and would of course not listen to his sweet talk at this time.
¡°Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know that you¡¯re trying to save her.¡± Shengyang red at Feng Shengyang angrily.
Feng Shengyanguged and shook his head. ¡°How can that be? I¡¯m doing this for you, Linlin. I really, really don¡¯t want you to die.¡±
¡°Shut up! I don¡¯t want to hear anything else you have to say! Shut up, shut up, shut up!¡±
Su Lin became more agitated.
The two of them looked at her finger anxiously, worried that she would press the button.
Yin Shaojie strode towards her, getting close to her slowly. In order to not agitate her, he softened his voice as well and said, ¡°Rx. You don¡¯t have to do this, yeah? Su Lin, think about it. We¡¯ve known each other for so many years, and our families are friends. Xiaoxiao aside, you and I are friends too, right? I can¡¯t bear to watch you like this.¡±
Su Lin¡¯s gaze wavered as she looked at him, and tears sprung into her eyes. ¡°Shaojie¡ You still care about me, right? But¡ why don¡¯t you love me? Why?¡±
Yin Shaojie knew that she was obsessed with this point, and so knew that he couldn¡¯t continue this topic with her.
He changed the topic and said, ¡°Actually, there are a lot of choices in life, right? And your current choice is the worst one. If you die, there will be nothing left. Su Lin, don¡¯t you want your family anymore? Your dad and mom love you so much. Are you willing to put them through the tragedy of sending off their young child? Think about it!¡±
Sure enough, Su Lin¡¯s expression rxed a little. ¡°Papa, Mama¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t say anything more!¡± She suddenly red at Yin Shaojie before shouting at Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to die, then follow me! Walk!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was really scared, but could only follow her.
Yin Shaojie and Feng Shengyang followed after them.
Su Lin roared at then, ¡°Don¡¯t follow us. If not, I¡¯ll make her die together with me right now!¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s footsteps came to a halt, and he gave Feng Shengyang a look.
Feng Shengyang was also looking at Mu Xiaoxiao worriedly, but he still stood still.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze pierced through Su Lin and noticed a silhouette behind her.

The two of them used their mere gaze to express their thoughts.
¡°Su Lin, I have something to say to you.¡± Yin Shaojie tried to divert her attention, and also gestured to Feng Shengyang with his eyes.
Feng Shengyang was smart. He understood his gaze the moment he saw it and nodded slightly.
Yin Shaojie continued, ¡°Su Lin, actually, I was moved by the words you said earlier. I had never imagined that there would be someone who likes me this much. Thank you.¡±
Su Lin looked at him, a little surprised, as though he had finally felt her feelings.
¡°Shaojie¡ I like you really, really much. I really love you so much!¡±
Just then, Feng Shengyang suddenly said, ¡°Linlin, what about me? Have you ever liked me?¡±
Su Lin looked at him a little angrily. ¡°Feng Shengyang, I don¡¯t want to see you. Go away! I knew that you were only ying with me from the start, but¡ a few days ago, I couldn¡¯t help but think of you, but you¡ kept brushing me off. You said that you were going to visit me, but you never did! How can you do this to me! Just you wait, you¡¯ll get retribution for ying with girls¡¯ feelings!¡±
Feng Shengyang¡¯s gaze was gentle as he looked at her. In a tone that sounded incredibly sincere, he said, ¡°You¡¯re mistaken. I really like you. Every word that I¡¯ve spoken to you hase from my heart. Couldn¡¯t you tell?¡±
Su Lin was tricked by his acting, and her eyes looked bewildered.
¡°You¡ really, really liked me?¡±
If this was the case, she would feel so much better. This meant that Mu Xiaoxiao at least had not snatched Feng Shengyang away, in her perspective.
Feng Shengyang nodded. ¡°I was being sincere. Couldn¡¯t you tell? If you couldn¡¯t, then it just means that I wasn¡¯t good enough.¡±
While they were talking, Yin Shaojie was using his gaze tomunicate with the person behind Su Lin.
Just then, Yin Shaojie spoke to rouse her attention. ¡°Su Lin, Xiaoxiao was actually really concerned about you.When you were hospitalized and said that your parents weren¡¯t in the country, her heart ached for you and she was afraid that you would be lonely in the hospital. At that time, she was sick with a high fever, but still wanted to go to the hospital to see you.¡±
¡°You¡¯re lying!¡± Su Lin shouted suddenly.
¡°I¡¯m not lying.¡± Yin Shaojie met her gaze with his squarely.
Su Lin looked towards Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her nervously. ¡°Su Lin, please don¡¯t do this, okay? We¡¯re all alright, and we¡¯ll help you ovee your illness. Wouldn¡¯t that be good? We can help you.¡±
Su Lin¡¯s gaze, which had originally changed, suddenly became icy again. She shouted at her, ¡°Why are you pretending to be nice! Haha, you¡¯re doing it again ¡ª you love to act kind. Yeah, yeah, you¡¯re a good person and I¡¯m the bad one, right? Do I need you to give me redemption?¡±
It was time!
Yin Shaojie gave the person behind a look. That person had already closed in behind Su Lin soundlessly.
At hismand, the person leaped forward and tried to snatch the bomb away from Su Lin¡¯s hands.
However, no one expected Su Lin¡¯s reflexes to be so quick in the second that her wrist had been caught.
¡°What are you doing!¡± She turned around and roared.
Seeing her chance, Mu Xiaoxiao tore her hand off and bolted to where Yin Shaojie was.
¡°You all lied to me!¡± Su Lin said furiously. She pressed the button on the bomb and threw it towards Mu Xiaoxiao.
That person tried to stop it. The bomb deviated from its original course and rolled under a car.
¡°Xiaoxiao¡ª ¡± Yin Shaojie rushed forward and tried to protect Xiaoxiao.
The bomb detonated.

¡°BOOM ¡ª¡± Arge sound rang out. It was far more powerful than anyone had expected.
The shockwave threw the group back.
The loud bang caused the nearby buildings to shake. Many curious people were confused and rushed over to see what had happened.
Luckily, this was the hospital and many people realized that an explosion had happened. Upon seeing that there were people injured, the hospital¡¯s rescue workers rushed over hastily.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s ears were ringing from the st. The first second after he regained his senses he started looking for Xiaoxiao.
However, Xiaoxiao was lying on the ground, unmoving.
¡°Xiaoxiao¡ Xiaoxiao¡ª¡± He staggered to his feet and ran towards her.
Feng Shengyang regained his senses after that. Upon hearing his cries, he looked over. He was still dizzy from the st, and he wobbled as he tried to stand. However, he still pressed on and walked over.
¡°How is she?¡¯ He asked Yin Shaojie weakly.
Yin Shaojie held Xiaoxiao up. He checked her breathing first, and after ascertaining that she was still breathing the clenching in his heart rxed a little.
He hugged her lithe frame tightly. His voice was trembling as he shouted, ¡°Xiaoxiao, wake up, wake up.¡±
¡°Yin Shaojie¡¡± Feng Shengyang¡¯s voice was stiff as he said, ¡°Is that¡ Xiaoxiao¡¯s blood on your hands?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked down. It was only then that he realized that they were wet. Because of theck of light he couldn¡¯t see what it was at first nce.
However, Yin Shaojie felt it. It was blood¡
It was warm.
It was Xiaoxiao¡¯s¡
His heart clenched violently and his eyes reddened. In a choked voice, he said, ¡°Xiaoxiao¡ Xiaoxiao, you¡¯ll be alright¡¡±
Upon seeing the rescuerse over, Feng Shengyang shouted hastily, ¡°Hurry over and save this person!¡±
The rescuer was shocked. At first, he wanted to tend to the person lying on the ground, but hurried over due to his shout.
Yin Shaojie wanted to carry Xiaoxiao, but the rescuer said, ¡°Her head has been injured and it¡¯s best not to move her. Hang on for a while; there will be a bed being pushed over shortly.¡±
In a few seconds, the mobile bed was pushed over. Yin Shaojie carried Xiaoxiao and after cing her on the bed he followed the rescuer.
Feng Shengyang wanted to follow them, but suddenly thought of Su Lin.
He turned his head to look and saw Su Lin lying on the ground lifelessly.
Was she¡ dead?
From the point of view of the explosion, Su Lin was the closer one. Also there were debris flying over when the car exploded, and there was a huge piece of that by her side.
Very quickly, the other rescuers rushed over.
¡
The early morning sunlight sshed across the floor. A slight breeze caressed the curtains, making the light ripple across the walls.
On the bed, Mu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes slowly. She tried to move her hand but it remained motionless.
She turned her head and saw a tall and handsome boy asleep by the bed.
Her hand was wrapped tightly in both his hands.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. She wanted to draw her hand back, but this motion woke the boy.
The boy lifted his head and his features of unparalleled beauty were disyed right before her, causing her to widen her eyes in awe.
What a handsome boy!
¡°Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re awake? Do you feel ufortable anywhere?¡± He asked worriedly.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned and blinked adorably. ¡°Who¡ are you?¡±
Yin Shaojie froze.

Yin Shaojie stared at her for a few seconds, frowning. he then hugged her and said, ¡°Xiaoxiao, what¡¯s wrong? Stop fooling around.¡±
His grip was a little tight, and Mu Xiaoxiao struggled ufortably. ¡°Stop fooling around? I really don¡¯t know who you are. Do I know you?¡±
Yin Shaojie met her gaze. It didn¡¯t feel like she was joking with him, and he felt stunned.
She had¡ lost her memory?
What kind of joke was this!
He put a serious expression and warned her strictly, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re not allowed to joke around like this, you hear?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not joking. You¡¯re hurting me. Can you let go? Can we talk civilly?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao red at him with displeasure, moving her shoulders to try to shake him off.
Yin Shaojie calmed himself down. Upon seeing how she was frowning in difort, he realized that he was using too much force and released her hurriedly.
He was a little confused. Pointing to himself, he asked her, ¡°Do you really not know who I am? You don¡¯t remember who I am?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. Her dark eyes were a little misty as she said, ¡°I¡ really don¡¯t remember. I can¡¯t remember.¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay, we¡¯ll think about it slowly. Look at me really, really earnestly. You¡¯ll remember slowly, alright? We¡¯ll take this slowly.¡± Yin Shaojie held her hand lightly, his maic voice pacifying her gently.
Perhaps it was because his cation was working, or that his voice was very pleasant to listen to, Mu Xiaoxiao met his eyes calmly.
She listened to him and looked into his handsome face, trying to search for an answer there.
Even though she still couldn¡¯t think of anything, she was involuntarily mesmerized by his gorgeous features.
How could there exist such a handsome boy in this world?
His features were prominent and attractive with no traces of ws. His eyes were as ck as the gxy, which made her feel like she was falling into them.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him in awe unblinkingly.
After quite a while, his low voice called out softly, ¡°Xiaoxiao?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao returned to her senses before realizing that she had been staring at him, and her ears warmed up.
¡°Do you still not remember?¡± Yin Shaojie could already guess from her expression.
Originally, he thought that the injury to her brain had disordered her mind for a while, which made her unable to recall who he was.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and looked at him apologetically. ¡°Sorry, I really don¡¯t remember¡¡±
¡°What else do you remember, then? Anyone or anything will do so long as you remember something,¡± Yin Shaojie said gently, as though he was afraid of scaring her.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a while, her face scrunched up like a dumpling. Shaking her head, she said, ¡°I can¡¯t¡ I can¡¯t remember anything¡ My brain feels empty, and I can¡¯t even recall my own name. What did you call me just now? Xiaoxiao? Is that my name?¡±
Yin Shaojie inhaled deeply to calm himself down.
¡°Yeah, you¡¯re called Xiaoxiao, Mu Xiaoxiao. It¡¯s okay, don¡¯t be scared. Just try to remember slowly if you can¡¯t recall anything.¡±
He pressed the call button on the headboard of the bed as he spoke.
¡°Can you tell me something, then? Who are you? What¡¯s our rtionship?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled.
She looked into his eyes. She was no longer unnerved.
Even though she couldn¡¯t recall who he was, her instincts told her that he was someone who would never hurt her.

Yin Shaojie wrapped hisrge hands around her small ones. Gazing into her eyes, he said, ¡°I¡¯m your fianc¨¦. We¡¯re already engaged.¡±
¡°Fianc¨¦?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened and an indescribable joy bloomed in her heart.
This incredibly handsome boy turned out to be her fianc¨¦?
She had thought that at most, he would be her boyfriend or someone like that.
She hadn¡¯t imagined that they were already engaged.
Yin Shaojie looked at the sparkle in her eyes. He didn¡¯t know why, but the clenching in his heart rxed.
He held up her little hand and kissed the back of it. ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m your fianc¨¦. Also, we were childhood friends who grew up together. I¡¯ve known you since you were born.¡±
¡°Wow¡ª¡± Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t believe this. ¡°Our rtionship is that close!¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded and continued, ¡°Also, we¡¯ve been living together ever since we were engaged.¡±
¡°Living together? T-Then, have we¡¡± A slight blush spread across her little face. Had they already done it?
Just then, the doctor and nurse pushed the door and walked in. In a respectful tone, the doctor said, ¡°Young Master Yin, is there something wrong with the patient?¡±
Yin Shaojie turned to look at the doctor coldly. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that her injuries were not serious? Why can¡¯t she remember anything?!¡±
The doctor was stunned. ¡°Ah? She can¡¯t remember anything? Let me see.¡±
He hurried over.
Yin Shaojie moved aside so that the doctor could check up on Mu Xiaoxiao.
The doctor hesitated before saying to him, ¡°This¡ may be due to Miss Mu¡¯s brain receiving trauma. There¡¯s a blood clot in there which caused this situation. She needs to undergo a thorough brain checkup as a safety precaution.¡±
¡°Hurry up and arrange one then!¡± Yin Shaojie red at him sternly.
The doctor wiped the cold sweat beading on his head. Lowering his head, he said, ¡°Yes, Young Master Yin. Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll arrange one now.¡±
The doctor gave the nurse a few instructions before departing first.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at his angry face. She reached out and ced her hand on the back of his instinctively, frowning as she said, ¡°Don¡¯t shout at the doctor.¡±
The nurse walked up cautiously and said, ¡°Young Master Yin, let¡¯s bring Miss Mu to her checkup then.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pushed the nket aside to get off the bed. Yin Shaojie helped her off, and even bent over and put her shoes on for her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. She looked down at the sight of him helping her with her shoes.
¡°Alright, do you want me to carry you there?¡± Yin Shaojie lifted his head to look at her and asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head, afraid that he was really going to carry her. She said hurriedly, ¡°There¡¯s no need. I can walk there myself.¡±
It wasn¡¯t like she couldn¡¯t walk. Why should she let him carry her?
Yin Shaojie hooked a hand onto her arm and said gently, ¡°Walk slowly then.¡±
Beside them, the nurse wanted to speak up, but stopped herself. She wanted to tell this Young Master Yin that since the patient only had a head injury, her legs were fine and she could walk perfectly by herself.
However, she didn¡¯t dare to speak.
The night before, she remembered how this Young Master Yin had stood outside when the patient, head covered in blood, had been wheeled into the operating theater. He had seemed as though he were the Devil and he had emanated a terrifying aura that kept everyone away.
Also, upon being aware of Young Master Yin¡¯s identity, everyone else was more respectful and deferential, afraid that they would slip-up.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Yin Shaojie wordlessly before twisting her wrist. She couldn¡¯t help but to say, ¡°Can you let go? I can walk by myself.¡±

Could he stop treating her as though she were a three-year-old?
¡°Are you sure you can walk?¡± Yin Shaojie asked seriously.
¡°Of course. Let go. I¡¯ll walk by myself.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shook her arm to make him let go.
Yin Shaojie had no choice but to let go so that she would stop struggling.
Mu Xiaoxiao took a step forward. Unexpectedly, her shirt caught onto something, causing her to stumble forward.
Yin Shaojie seemed to have prepared for this. His long arms reached out and scooped her into his embrace.
Her little face was smushed against his muscr chest. Her breathing space was now filled with the aura of his manliness, and it made her heart skip a beat.
He smelled so nice¡
In the next second, an arm pushed against her knees and carried her up by her waist.
¡°Oi, I said I can walk by myself!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was slightly red as she said.
¡°I gave you a chance earlier. Nothing you say will work now!¡± A tyrannical voice said from above her head.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused. She didn¡¯t know why a wave of feeling passed through her heart, as though a familiar sentiment had just flooded it.
She looked up and saw the overbearing expression on his handsome face.
The nurse fell in love with this forceful bridal-style hold, and followed them with an infatuated expression on her face.
¡
In the office.
The doctor looked at the results of the checkup and reported to Yin Shaojie, ¡°Young Master Yin, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s memory loss should be caused by a blood clot in her brain. However, you can rx. This blood clot is quite small and doesn¡¯t require surgery. An intravenous infusion is all that is needed to dissolve it. When it disappears, Miss Mu should regain her memory.
¡°How long will that take?¡± Yin Shaojie asked in a low voice as he turned his gaze towards Mu Xiaoxiao.
The doctor didn¡¯t dare to state a precise date for when memories would return wasn¡¯t something that could be determined urately as the brain was the body¡¯s mostplicated organ.
Yin Shaojie turned his gaze back and looked at him. He said, ¡°Doctor, just tell me your prognosis. I won¡¯t me you.¡±
The doctor thought about it for a while before saying, ¡°There was a case simr to Miss Mu¡¯s, and the patient recovered their memories after a few days.¡±
Just then, Mu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting by them, couldn¡¯t help but to interrupt, ¡°What¡¯s the worst case scenario then? Will I never be able to regain my memories?¡±
¡°This¡¡± Naturally, the doctor didn¡¯t dare to answer this question, for anything could happen.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t ask further. Standing up, he held Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand in his and nodded to the doctor before taking her out of there.
Back in the ward.
Mama Yin and Papa Yin were present. Mama Yin walked over worriedly and said, ¡°Xiaoxiao¡¯s lost her memories? Is it serious? How long will it take for her to remember? Will she¡¡±
¡°Mom, you don¡¯t have to worry. The doctor has done a checkup and found a blood clot in Xiaoxiao¡¯s brain, but it¡¯s not serious. There¡¯s no need for surgery, and it will go away soon. If it happens fast, she will regain her memory in a few days,¡± Yin Shaojie told his parents what the doctor had said.
Mama Yin looked at Mu Xiaoxiao, her heart aching. Hugging her, she said, ¡°My poor little baby. Don¡¯t be scared, you¡¯ll regain your memories soon. Don¡¯t be scared, baby.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao blinked. When she released her, she greeted them politely, ¡°Hello, Uncle and Auntie.¡±
¡°Uncle and Auntie?¡± Mama Yin looked at her husband. Her expression became sad and she looked like she was about to cry.
Papa Yin stepped forward and hugged her wife by her shoulders. ¡°Xiaoxiao is only calling us like that because she can¡¯t remember. Don¡¯t be sad. We¡¯ll treat her and make her well again.¡±

Upon seeing Mama Yin in this state, Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little guilty.
She tugged at Yin Shaojie¡¯s shirt. Moving closer to him, she asked in a soft voice, ¡°How do I usually address your parents?¡±
Yin Shaojie whispered the answer in her ear.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. She then smiled at Mama Yin and said anew, ¡°Mama Yin, Papa Yin, I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯ve addressed you wrongly by ident, so don¡¯t be sad anymore, okay? I¡¯m just unable to remember temporarily, but I believe that I¡¯ll remember things soon enough!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was one to trust her own instincts, no matter whether she had lost her memories or not.
She liked Mama Yin and Papa Yin when she first saw them. She felt an indescribable intimacy with them.
Upon seeing how lovable Xiaoxiao was, Mama Yin¡¯s eyes reddened with tears.
¡°Look at how our baby Xiaoxiao is so obedient. Why must something like this happen to her? Heaven is really cruel¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao tugged at Yin Shaojie¡¯s shirt again. With her eyes she asked, What do I do? It seems like I haven¡¯t seeded inforting them.
¡°Didn¡¯t you want to go to the toilet? Go now. I¡¯ll talk to them,¡± Yin Shaojie said.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know what to do and thus listened to him and went into the toilet.
She emerged after ten minutes, but didn¡¯t see Mama Yin and Papa Yin.
Yin Shaojie was calling someone. Upon seeing here out, he ended the call after two more sentences.
¡°Where are your parents?¡± she asked uprehendingly.
¡°I¡¯ve asked them to go back first,¡± Yin Shaojie said. Picking up the clothes on the bed, he handed them to her. ¡°Change into this. We¡¯ll be getting out of the hospital and going home.¡±
¡°Aren¡¯t I staying in the hospital? Don¡¯t I need to go through an intravenous transfusion?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled.
Yin Shaojie exined, ¡°You don¡¯t have to. You don¡¯t like to stay in the hospital, so we¡¯ll go back home. You can do the intravenous transfusion at home too. We¡¯ll just let the doctor and nursee over.¡±
He walked up to her and caressed her smooth cheek with his long fingers. He looked at her with his dark eyes and said as though he was making a promise, ¡°Rx, I¡¯ll do whatever it takes for you to regain your memory.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and she assured him, ¡°Actually¡ you don¡¯t have to feel so pressured. Let things just take its course.¡±
She didn¡¯t know why but she wasn¡¯t very worried.
Perhaps it was because he was the first person she saw when she woke. He exuded a feeling of safety, making her feel like she didn¡¯t need to be afraid of anything so long she was around him.
Yin Shaojie cupped her cheek with his hands and asked her earnestly, ¡°Do you not want to remember me?¡±
¡°I want to.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°But I don¡¯t want you to be unhappy.¡±
She felt a little bad when she saw the hint of mncholy in his eyes.
Yin Shaojie looked at her resolutely. He couldn¡¯t help but to lower his head and nt a kiss on her lips.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t feel repulsed by it, and even moved forward to meet his lips instinctively.
Yin Shaojie only gave her a chaste kiss, his sexy lips massaging hers.
He released her after a while. ¡°Shall we go home?¡±
¡°Yeah!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she nodded.
On the way home, Mu Xiaoxiao realized that her phone was ringing. She held it up, puzzled, and read the name on the screen.
¡°Qiqing¡ Who¡¯s that? Is that my friend?¡± She turned to look at Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie looked at her and said, ¡°Yeah. Don¡¯t pick it up. I¡¯ll give her a call after we get back.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao ended the call. However, her phone started ringing again after a few seconds.

However, this time, it was from WeChat.
She checked her phone, and it was still the one who was called Qiqing.
¡ª¡ªXiaoxiao, you¡¯re not still asleep are you? What time is it? Why haven¡¯t you and Yin Shaojiee to school yet?
Mu Xiaoxiao read the message to Yin Shaojie and asked, ¡°Should I reply to her? She seems worried about me.¡±
¡°Reply to her and tell her you¡¯re not going today.¡±
¡°And not tell her about my memory loss?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t mention it since it¡¯s hard for you to exin to her. I¡¯ll tell them about it next time.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t remember the things before she had lost her memory, so it was difficult for her to exin everything.
¡°Geez, she replied again, asking me why I¡¯m not going to school. Is it because I¡¯m sick, or¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She didn¡¯t read thest part of the message as her little face turned ufortably to look out the window.
Just as she finished saying, the traffic light turned red, and they stopped.
Yin Shaojie turned to look at her and asked, ¡°Or what?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t answer the question but only shook her head and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. So should I still reply to her?¡±
¡°Let me see,¡± Yin Shaojie reached for the cell phone.
Mu Xiaoxiao guarded the cell phone from him, red at him and said, ¡°I¡¯m not showing you! Y-you should be driving. Why are you trying to look at my phone? Drive carefully, and don¡¯t get distracted! My precious life is in your hands!¡±
Thest sentence almost seemed to blurt out by itself.
With that said, she was stunned.
¡°Eh¡ Why does it feel like I have said this before?¡±
Yin Shaojie also thought that it sounded quite familiar, as if he had indeed heard her say that before. He couldn¡¯t help but stare at her eyes and ask, ¡°Did you recall something?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook his head in a daze. ¡°No¡ My brain is still pretty much a nk.¡±
As she stared at him, she found that the image of him seemed to be the only thing in her nk mind.
Yin Shaojie thought of something. He opened the drawer, took out a pair of sunsses, and handed it to her. ¡°Put this on.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao put it on the sunsses. The sunsses were a little big. She used pushed the bridge of the sunsses up and down yfully.
¡°Why did you ask me to put this on?¡± she asked.
Yin Shaojie saw the same action that she had once did before, and finally, his mouth broke out in a smile.
Although her brain couldn¡¯t remember, her body remembered.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t return to the Yin residence, but he took Mu Xiaoxiao back to the condominium.
¡°Does it feel familiar?¡± he asked her as they entered through the door.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked around. Her head nted, she replied honestly. ¡°No¡ It doesn¡¯t feel familiar. But it doesn¡¯t feel unfamiliar either. I don¡¯t know how to describe it.¡±
She put on her slippers, walked over the sofa, and threw herself onto it.
¡°I¡¯m thirsty. I want to drink water¡¡± she said, looking at the ceiling.
Yin Shaojie walked over the fridge, took a bottle of water, went to the sofa, and uncapped the bottle before handing it to her.
¡°Thank you!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao sat up with her legs crossed, reached for the water, and drank from the bottle.
She rubbed her stomach, her little mouth ttened as she said to him, ¡°I¡¯m hungry¡¡±
Although she had eaten some food at the hospital, she didn¡¯t like to eat the food there so she didn¡¯t eat much of it.
¡°What do you want to eat then?¡± Yin Shaojie asked as he sat next to her.
Tapping her finger on her lips, Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. Then, she smiled and said, ¡°Do you cook? Why don¡¯t you cook for me!¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t mind cooking for her, but there were no ingredients he could use in the fridge.
Chapter 972 - Memory Loss (6)

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
If they were going to cook, he would have no choice but to go to the supermarket to buy ingredients, and the trip would take some time.
Since that was the case, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t ept it. ¡°Let¡¯s order some takeout then. What¡¯s good?¡±
¡°You choose.¡± Yin Shaojie brought the tablet over and opened the takeout menu for her to have a look.
¡°Order whatever you want. I¡¯ll go in and get something.¡±
¡°Okay,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao replied obediently, and she looked through the menu on the tablet.
Yin Shaojie walked into the study and quickly turned on theputer. He typed speedily, calling for someone.
Someone responded very quickly. But it was not the person he was looking for.
¡ª¡ªI don¡¯t know where that guy has been recently. I can¡¯t find him at all. Do you need to find him urgently?
¡ª¡ªYeah. It¡¯s very urgent. Is there any way to contact him?
Just as he was waiting for the other party to respond, he heard a sweet voiceing from the door.
¡°I have already made the order. What do you want to eat? I¡¯ll help you order it.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought he was a bit strange, so she walked over to him.
With a single keystroke, Yin Shaojie hid away the chat window that was used specially by hackers.
He stood up, stretched his arm around her waist and took her out of the study.
¡°I¡¯ll eat whatever you order for me. Order anything you want.¡±
¡°Oh yeah, I just received another call, but I didn¡¯t pick it up since there was no name to the number,¡± she told him.
No name to the number?
Yin Shaojie walked over to the sofa to pick up her cell phone. At a nce, the number seemed like it was Feng Shengyang¡¯s. Was it because he found out about Xiaoxiao losing her memory?
¡°Ignore him. It¡¯s just some unimportant person.¡± He conveniently cklisted the number.
¡°Oh, okay.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa, crossing her legs out of habit. ¡°You said to order anything, so I¡¯ll just order anything then.¡±
Her eyes were crescents, as she happily grabbed the cell phone from his hand, called the number shown on the tablet, and made the orders.
When Yin Shaojie heard her orders, he couldn¡¯t help but stare nkly.
These were all the things he liked to eat¡
She actually didn¡¯t even order a single dish that she liked to eat.
¡°Why did you¡ choose to order these?¡± His voice was slightly husky as he asked her.
Mu Xiaoxiao batted her eyes. ¡°Well¡ I saw them and felt like ordering them. Why, do you not like eating these?¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled as he felt a surge of warmthing over him.
¡°No, I like them.¡±
¡°That¡¯s good then!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao replied.
Suddenly, she felt that his gaze directed at her was quite sizzling, which made her dry in the mouth, so she reached for the water on the coffee table.
However, she drank too fast for some water on her shirt.
¡°Ah¡ª¡ªWhat should I do! It¡¯s all wet¡¡±
Upon entering the apartment, she had taken off her jacket, so she was only wearing a white shirt. Now that it was wet, her bra could be seen beneath it.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ears flushed red. She covered her chest with her hands. ¡°I-I¡¯m going to change!¡±
As though she was escaping something, she tried to make a break toward the bedroom.
However, her wrist was caught.
¡°You don¡¯t have to change,¡± Yin Shaojie said in a maic voice.
¡°Ah? Why not?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him uprehendingly.
Yin Shaojie chuckled. ¡°It¡¯s only a little wet. Just dry it with a hair dryer.¡±
A hair dryer?
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. Then, she saw Yin Shaojie take out a hair dryer from the drawer. He then pulled her to him, between his legs.
He was facing her chest.
Beneath the white top, the pink bra was faintly discernible.

The two were clearly some distance apart, but Mu Xiaoxiao felt like there was a warm breath gushing at her chest, arousing the sensitivity of her chest as her skin turned slightly pink.
She instinctively stepped back. Blushing, she said, ¡°No need. I¡¯ll do it myself!¡±
With him staring at her chest like this, it felt so weird.
¡°Can¡¯t I just help you blow dry it? What¡¯s there to be embarrassed about?¡± Yin Shaojie stretched out his arms and pulled her back.
¡°I told you I¡¯ll do it myself!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao panicked and pushed his head.
¡°Weren¡¯t you very obedient just now?¡± Yin Shaojie stared at her, his brows furrowed as he looked at her puzzled.
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao subconsciously retorted, ¡°Why do I want to be obedient! I don¡¯t want to be obedient. Give me the hair dryer.¡±
Yin Shaojie thought what he heard sounded quite familiar, and he couldn¡¯t help but narrow his eyes. ¡°Are you remembering something again?¡±
He had a vague feeling that she would unwittingly say the same thing that she had said in the past.
Could it be that she was faking her memory loss?
Although Yin Shaojie thought that it was unlikely, he really wished that she was only faking the memory loss.
So he felt that he should test her.
¡°No.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. When his hand was not moving, Mu Xiaoxiao quickly snatched the hair dryer, went to one side, and turned her back to him as she blow-dried the cor of her shirt.
Yin Shaojie folded his arms, squinting as he watched her.
When Mu Xiaoxiao was done drying her clothes and turned back, she saw him sitting on one corner of the sofa with a sad look. He was looking down, his gaze unfocused as he seemed to be thinking about something.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± She thought something was off about him, so she asked him instinctively.
Yin Shaojie shook his head and said indifferently, ¡°Nothing.¡±
¡°There must be something. Don¡¯t try to lie to me!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao thought that he was lying to her. Irritated, she went and sat next to him.
¡°Tell me. What¡¯s wrong? Didn¡¯t you say that you are my fianc¨¦? We are so close. What is it that you can¡¯t tell me?¡±
Seeing him like this, she felt an ache in her heart. The aching feeling could not be described.
Yin Shaojie pretended to sigh sadly. Then, he looked up at her and mumbled, ¡°I¡¯m just¡ very sad.¡±
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked sternly at him and asked worriedly.
He was clearly fine just a while ago.
Yin Shaojie reached out and ced his palm against her cheek. His gaze locked on her with deep emotions as he said, ¡°Do you know? You used to call me hubby, but after your memory loss, you stopped calling me that. So I¡¯m feeling sad. Very sad.¡±
With that said, he looked away in grief. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I shouldn¡¯t be telling you this.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused. Her little face was looking awkward as she asked, ¡°Did I¡ really call you that?¡±
Hubby?
Did she actually call him that?
Yin Shaojie turned back and looked at her eyes. He nodded very seriously and said. ¡°Yeah, have you forgotten? That was how you used to call me. Do you want to try it once? Maybe you¡¯ll start to feel it? And remember it?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. She thought that what he said did make some sense, so she hummed and hawed as she said, ¡°Hub, hubby¡¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Call me that again,¡± he urged her as a faint smile appeared on his elegant face, his eyes filled with amusement and delight.
¡°Hubby,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said as she looked at him bashfully.
The corner of his mouth curled up. ¡°Call me that again. This time, do it like you¡¯re trying to please me.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t suspect anything as she continued to go along with him. ¡°Hubby~¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded happily and said, ¡°That¡¯s the way! How do you feel? Does it feel familiar? Are you remembering something?¡±
Her head tilted as she thought for a moment. Then she said, ¡°There¡¯s¡ some feeling?¡±
She didn¡¯t know if it was a feeling of familiarity, but when she shouted out ¡®hubby¡¯, she felt so embarrassed. Her chest felt a little fuzzy.
She had no idea. Was that counted as a feeling?
It should¡ count, right?
Yin Shaojie said to her in an earnest manner, ¡°Seems like it. Didn¡¯t the doctor say it before? We can try to do more things that we have done in the past. It may help you remember some things, and it¡¯ll help to bring back your memory. What do you think?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and agreed, ¡°Yes, let¡¯s try this then!¡±
Of course, she wanted to quickly restore her memory too.
Yin Shaojie held her little hand and said with a serious manner, ¡°We¡¯ll do it like this then. I¡¯ll tell you how we used to interact and you just follow me, alright?¡±
He had been observing her expression very carefully and realized that she really wasn¡¯t faking it.
Just like he said, she had always called him hubby. Although she was a little surprised and bashful about it, she didn¡¯t seem angry.
This refuted his earlier suspicion. She really lost her memory, and she wasn¡¯t faking it.
Although he had expected this, he was still quite disappointed about it. He would have preferred if she were pretending.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, ¡°Okay.¡±
Just then, Yin Shaojie¡¯s cell phone made a strange noise and vibrated intensely.
He stopped. Then he picked up his cell phone to have a look.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao thought it was strange. When she poked her head over to look, she saw in the middle of the ck screen was written in uppercase, ¡°URGENT¡±.
¡°Urgent? Urgent? What happened?¡± she asked curiously.
After Yin Shaojie pressed a button, and the text disappeared. He smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s just a notification.¡±
A notification?
Mu Xiaoxiao found it odd. Was there any notification that looked like this?
However, just when her brain was starting to work, her stomach grumbled.
¡°I¡¯m hungry¡¡± she ttened her mouth as she said.
Yin Shaojie pondered for a moment and said, ¡°There should still be some biscuits at home. You can go and find them in the cab in the kitchen.¡±
Hugging the pillow, Mu Xiaoxiao feltzy. She shook her head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to go get it. Help me get it, alright? I don¡¯t even know where it is.¡±
Yin Shaojie cast a nce at her. ¡°You littlezy pig. Go and get it yourself. And try to see if you can recall anything.¡±
¡°Okay¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. She had no choice but to go.
Yin Shaojie watched as she entered the kitchen, then he quietly got up and went to the study.
He went in front of theputer and quickly typed something.
Very quickly, a secret chat window popped up on the screen.
¡ª¡ªI have contacted L for you. You¡¯d better have something urgent for him. Otherwise¡ the consequences will be serious!
Chapter 975 - To listen to her husband (3)
Chapter 975: To listen to her husband (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
With that said, he exined.
¡ª¡ªI dug him out when he was in theb. He seemed to be doing a new experiment in seclusion, so I couldn¡¯t find him. So you¡¯d better have something urgent or he¡¯s going to get angry. When that guy gets angry, it won¡¯t be the typical kind of scary.
Finally, he found the person he was looking for. Yin Shaojie heaved a sigh of relief, and his fingers quickly typed back a reply.
¡ª¡ªI know. I have a very important and urgent matter that I need his help with.
¡ª¡ªWhat could be so urgent? Are you seriously hurt? I heard that the guy who you went up against was fond of ying with poison. Were you badly poisoned?
¡ª¡ªNo. It¡¯s my wife who got into an ident.
The other party was inactive for a few seconds. Then he replied with a set of dots.
¡ª¡ªYou¡¯re in trouble now. You actually looked for L just because of a woman. He won¡¯t help you! It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know him. The way he is with women¡ In any case, he¡¯ll being up soon. You¡¯re on your own then. Good luck.
The other party went offline.
Within less than a minute of waiting, L was seen online just as expected.
¡ª¡ªWhat¡¯s up?
Yin Shaojie briefly exined his situation. And sure enough, just as that other person had said, when ites to matters regarding women, L was unwilling to help.
¡ª¡ªI¡¯m not helping!
With ack of options, Yin Shaojie quickly appealed to his emotions and even promised him certain things.
Finally, L gave in. He said he would only do it this once, and never again. Then he told Yin Shaojie to send him all the medical reports to him, especially the X-rays.
¡ª¡ªGive me some time.
With that said, L disappeared.
Seeing that he was willing to help, Yin Shaojie was relieved because L was a medical genius, who had even saved someone from the brink of death. Now, that person was still alive and kicking. Compared to that, Xiaoxiao¡¯s problem would be child¡¯s y to him.
Yin Shaojie was afraid that Mu Xiaoxiao woulde in again, so he went out.
Mu Xiaoxiao was still searching through the cab in the kitchen, and she hadn¡¯t realized that he had been gone for a while.
He walked into the kitchen. ¡°You haven¡¯t found it yet?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him resentfully. ¡°I couldn¡¯t find it! I have rummaged through every cab. I told you to help me find it. You didn¡¯t help me, and now I don¡¯t have anything to eat. I¡¯m so hungry¡¡±
Yin Shaojie thought that she looked cute when she was angry. It was as if she hadn¡¯t lose her memory.
He really wanted to reach out and stroke her head, but he held himself back.
After helping to search through the cab himself, he found that there really were no biscuits left.
¡°Strange¡ I remembered there were a few packets of biscuits left.¡±
¡°You see. There were no biscuits! You tricked me, right?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao used him as she red at him.
Yin Shaojieughed helplessly. ¡°I didn¡¯t trick you. I remembered we had some, but¡ Oh yeah. You didn¡¯t secretly eat them all, did you?¡±
In any case, he wasn¡¯t the one who ate them.
They were the only two living in this apartment. So the only person who could havemitted the crime was her.
However, she had lost her memory. How could she still remember whether she had eaten them without his knowing?
¡°I ate them secretly? Don¡¯t try to frame me!¡± Even if Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t remember, she couldn¡¯t just let him turn the usation toward her.
¡°Okay okay okay. Then let¡¯s just say that they were stolen by a mouse, alright? Bear with it for a while more. Why don¡¯t you eat fruits. We have fruits. The takeout will be arriving soon.¡±
Yin Shaojie took her little hand as they walked over to the fridge.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and was upset. ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat fruits¡¡±
Chapter 976 - Listen to Your Husband (4)

¡°What do you want to do then?¡± Yin Shaojie looked at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed at him as she grabbed his arm and bit down. ¡°I want to eat you!¡±
She bit down with her little mouth, and she could feel his arm muscles bulging.
So hard¡
Mu Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue and licked his arm subconsciously.
Her soft and wet tongue glided past Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm, causing him to shiver.
¡°How do you want to eat me?¡± he teased, his tone darkening.
Mu Xiaoxiao threw his arm down and said, ¡°You¡¯re too hard. It¡¯s not nice to eat you.¡±
¡°You want to eat something soft? It¡¯s soft here. Taste this.¡± Yin Shaojie bent down. He pointed to his lips and pouted, making it more convenient for her to ¡°taste¡±.
The tips of Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ears grew hot and she reached out to push his face away. ¡°What¡¯re you fooling around for!¡±
¡°You call this fooling around?¡± Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes and moved his handsome face a little closer so that the suggestive atmosphere was right in her face. ¡°Do you want me to show you what fooling around really is? If you want to see it¡¡±
¡°No! I don¡¯t want to see it!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao rejected him hastily before he could even finish his sentence. Covering her red ears, she escaped from the kitchen.
Yin Shaojieughed and followed her.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
¡°That should be the delivery.¡± He was about to walk over and open the door, but she was faster than him, whizzing past him in an instant to unlock the door.
¡°Wait!¡± Yin Shaojie prevented her from opening the door, and his long legs caught up with her in three strides.
¡°What?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him uprehendingly, but didn¡¯t open the door obediently and waited for him to do so.
Yin Shaojie petted her head and said in a low voice, ¡°It¡¯s nothing, but I just don¡¯t want anything to happen to you again.¡±
Even though they had used this delivery service countless times, he was still afraid that something might happen, so it was safer for him to open the door.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart warmed as she heard his low voice, and she took two steps back.
Yin Shaojie opened the door to a familiar delivery man. He smiled and said, ¡°Young Master Yin, your delivery is here.¡±
¡°Bring it in.¡± Yin Shaojie gestured. He held Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little hands and moved her to stand behind him.
The delivery man carried the bags in and ced the food on top of the dining table as usual. After taking the money, he left.
Mu Xiaoxiao stood behind Yin Shaojie. Looking at his broad and reliable back, she leaned on it involuntarily and hugged him by his waist.
¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Yin Shaojie asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her face against his back and shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just felt like hugging you.¡±
Yin Shaojieughed lightly. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you were hungry? Why don¡¯t you hurry and eat now that the food has arrived?¡±
¡°Ok!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao beamed and released him.
¡°Go wash your hands first,¡± Yin Shaojie said.
Mu Xiaoxiao went into the bathroom.
On the other hand, Yin Shaojie went into the study. Sitting in his chair hurriedly, he checked if L had replied.
He had already sent a reply a while ago, a minute right after he sent Xiaoxiao¡¯s checkup results over.
¡ª¡ª The f***? Why are you asking me about such a small matter? You can just ask a random doctor about it. What a time-waster!
Even though Yin Shaojie had been scolded, he didn¡¯t take it to heart for he knew that this dude had a temper, and he was concerned about Xiaoxiao¡¯s situation despite his tone.
The other party¡¯s reply swept away all the worries that burdened his heart.

He typed a question to the person.
¡ª¡ª Is it really a small problem? Will she lose her memory permanently? Or will she never recover her memories?
The other party became displeased.
¡ª¡ª Don¡¯t look for me if you don¡¯t trust me! I¡¯m busy!
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry.
¡ª¡ª I¡¯m only consulting you because I trust you. When will my wife¡¯s memory return? Do you have any methods that can make her recover them faster?
¡ª¡ª Yes, but I¡¯m busy and I¡¯ve got no time right now. I¡¯ll tell you when I¡¯m done with this.
Yin Shaojie remembered that he was conducting an experiment, and knew that this Crazy King of Experiments was already being a good friend by putting his experiment aside and going online to talk to him.
¡ª¡ª Alright, get on with your work first.
The other party went offline.
Upon receiving such an answer, Yin Shaojie¡¯s heart lightened greatly. Turning off hisputer, he walked out of the room, smiling.
At the dining table, Mu Xiaoxiao was taking the food out from the bags. Upon seeing hime out, she waved to him. ¡°I was just about to call you! Hurry ande eat!¡±
Yin Shaojie walked over and hugged her waist from behind.
¡°Wifey~¡± He said coyly.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt as though her ears were going to shrink, and her voice became involuntarily gentle. ¡°What are you doing? It¡¯s time to eat. Why¡¯re you hugging me?¡±
¡°I just want to hug you.¡± Yin Shaojie hugged her and even rocked her.
His arm rubbed against Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s neck. Even though it felt nice, she was really hungry. Thus, she frowned and said to him, ¡°Let go of me. I wanna eat. If you want to hug me can you do it after we¡¯ve finished eating?¡±
¡°Sure!¡± Yin Shaojie nodded. His eyes wereden with meaning as he smiled. ¡°You said so yourself that you¡¯re going to let me hug you.¡±
He sounded suggestive as he said the word ¡°hug¡±.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t notice it. Right now, she was only concerned about eating, and wanted to fill her stomach with food.
¡°Got it, got it.¡± She brushed him aside.
Yin Shaojie then released her, and the two of them sat down to eat.
Mu Xiaoxiao practically wolfed her food down. Afraid that she would identally swallow a fish bone when she ate the fish, Yin Shaojie helped her pick out the meat.
After the meal.
Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her stomach as she leaned against her chair. Instinctively, she ordered, ¡°Clear this up.¡±
She prepared to leave as she spoke.
¡°Wait,¡± Yin Shaojie called out to her. Crossing his arms, he looked at her. ¡°Do you still remember what I said earlier?¡±
¡°Huh? What?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao blinked. However, seeing his earnest expression, she could only sit back down.
Yin Shaojieughed. Knocking his finger against the surface of the table, he reminded, ¡°Didn¡¯t we already talk about this? You have to listen to me to help regain your memory faster. We¡¯ll do things like we used to do.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao realized this. ¡°Oh, right, I almost forgot! Tell me then, what should I do?¡±
Yin Shaojie ced a hand on the back of the chair. With the manner of a Master, he pointed a finger at the things on the table and said, ¡°Clear this up.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pointed to herself. ¡°Me? Why must I clear this up!¡±
¡°Because you were the one who used to do it,¡± Yin Shaojie lied with a straight face.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted a little gloomily and looked at him a little unbelievingly. ¡°Really? Was I the one cleaning up usually?¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded surely and said, ¡°Of course. Why would I lie to you? I also want your memories to return faster, right? So I can¡¯t be lying to you.¡±
Even though she felt like something was off, his words made her unable to retort back.

He seemed very intent on trying to get her memory back as soon as possible, so he can¡¯t be lying to her, right?
Yin Shaojie looked at her and put on an expression of heartache. Sighing, he said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll clean it up if you don¡¯t want to. Even though I really want you to regain your memory, such things can¡¯t be hurried. It can¡¯t be helped if you don¡¯t want to¡¡±
¡°Okay, okay. I¡¯ll clear it up, I¡¯ll clear it up!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t stand the way he was talking. It made her feel like someone who had been condemned by history, as though she didn¡¯t want to recover her memory.
¡°You really don¡¯t have to force yourself.¡± He looked at her, and even his gaze was gentle.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart softened. ¡°I¡¯m not forcing myself. I want to get my memory back faster too.¡±
Thus, she cleared up the trash on the table.
After clearing up, she went to wash her hands. On the sofa, Yin Shaojie waved, gesturing for her to go over.
Mu Xiaoxiao walked to where he was, and he hugged her by her waist.
¡°What are you doing?¡± She looked at him, amused. He looked like a big faithful dog who was trying to act coy towards its owner.
¡°You said that you were going to let me hug you after dinner earlier.¡± Yin Shaojie leaned onto her as he spoke.
With him being in a sitting posture, and her in a standing one, his headnded right on her chest.
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao felt bashful, she had made a promise, and thus let him hug her like that.
Upon seeing her behaving so obediently, Yin Shaojie¡¯s lips curled up in a devilish smile.
While Mu Xiaoxiao was thinking about how long he was going to hug her, she felt a naughty hand sneak under her clothes and caress her back.
She twisted her hips. ¡°Hey, what are you doing with your hands?¡±
¡°Let¡¯s make out,¡± he said bluntly, not beating about the bush.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was a little red. ¡°M-Make out?¡±
He lifted his head and looked into her eyes. In a serious tone, he said, ¡°Yeah. I was just thinking that since we¡¯re going to do the usual things that we¡¯ve been doing, we can¡¯t skip making out.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was bashful and nervous. ¡°I don¡¯t know how to do that¡¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. If you don¡¯t remember how to do it, just be good and let me do it while you think about it, hm?¡±
Thest word he said sounded so sexy that it made her melt.
His dark obsidian eyes were especially mesmerizing at this distance. When both of their eyes met, she felt as though she was going to be sucked in by him.
Unable to reject him, Mu Xiaoxiao could only nod.
Upon seeing how she was so obedient, Yin Shaojie felt an uncontroble urge to hurry up and make out with her.
He cupped her face with hisrge hands and moved his handsome face closer, nting a kiss on her soft lips.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt the softness of his lips as his masculine aura surrounded her, making her heartbeat fly.
As Yin Shaojie kissed her, his other hand caressed her back gently. Moving upwards, his hand touched the hook of her bra.
Could he be thinking of¡
Upon realizing what he was about to do with his hands, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s back straightened stiffly. She wanted to move away instinctively, but remembering his words, she stopped herself.
Yin Shaojie seemed to have seen her struggle. He gave her a rewarding suck on her lips before diving straight into her mouth and entwining his tongue with her soft and wet one.
The hand that had been on her back unhooked her bra nimbly.
Mu Xiaoxiao was very nervous. Her hands were balled into fists by her side, and she didn¡¯t dare move.
Her face was super red, as though it were a ripe apple.
Mm, it was ripe for plucking!

Just as Yin Shaojie¡¯s hands were about to move forward, Mu Xiaoxiao stopped him.
¡°What are you doing? Don¡¯t.¡± She looked at him, her eyes watery.
She felt as though her heart was beating so fast that it would explode.
She had never felt this way before. This made her feel anxious, but there was another feeling passing through her heart.
However, Yin Shaojie said seriously, ¡°It¡¯s normal for us to do this. Don¡¯t be scared and don¡¯t try to resist it. Just enjoy the feeling.¡±
Because she was shy, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes were watery. It made her look like a muddle headed kitten, inspiring the feeling to give her tender loving care.
She blinked and met his eyes, as though trying to examine if he was lying to her.
Was it really normal for them to do this?
Her mind was full of questions. It seemed normal enough, but it also seemed like he was lying to her as well.
Yin Shaojie leaned forward and caressed his cheek with his long fingers. ¡°How do you feel when I touch you? Do you hate it?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao cocked her head and thought. She could feel the warmth of his hand, and she seemed to be able to feel his heartbeat too.
Badump, badump, badump¡
It was beating at the same frequency as hers.
¡°Do you hate it?¡± Seeing that she wasn¡¯t answering, he asked again.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°No, I don¡¯t hate it.¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled. ¡°It¡¯s good that you don¡¯t hate it. Do you like me then? Do you like me?¡±
His tone sounded lighthearted, but his gaze was deep, as though he was looking for affection.
Mu Xiaoxiao almost sank into the dark depths of his dark eyes.
The palm of her hand was ced against his chest. Under her hand was a strong and powerful heartbeat.
Badump, badump, badump, badump, badump¡
It was even clearer now than before.
She suddenly realized that his heartbeat seemed to be faster than hers.
So¡
He wasn¡¯t as calm andposed as he looked to be?
Upon understanding this, Mu Xiaoxiao felt an inexpressible joy in her heart. Her chest seemed to be filled with an indescribable warmth.
She didn¡¯t know when it happened, but he had moved closer and there seemed to be no distance between them now.
His handsome face was very close. His high, straight nose, his sexy lips, and his pair of adoring eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him, and a strangely familiar feeling arose spontaneously.
Suddenly, it felt as though everything he had said was true.
¡°Yeah,¡± she said in a soft voice and nodded.
Yin Shaojieughed lightly. He liked to touch her, and he cupped her face with his big hands and pulled her towards himself.
¡°So, you like me? Right?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice seemed to have a bewitching power. A light smile yed across his lips and it had a hint of devilishness.
He looked dangerously sexy.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt as though she were about to die. There seemed to be a little deer jumping around in her heart, unable to escape.
Yin Shaojie leaned his forehead against hers. In a low but mesmerizing voice not unlike when he was sweet-talking her, he said, ¡°Look at me. Look into my eyes. Don¡¯t be scared. I won¡¯t hurt you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart melted. Her watery eyes met his, and like an obedient kitten, she nodded.
¡°Good girl~¡± Yin Shaojie smiled, and lowering his head, he gave her a reward.

In fact, he was only trying to test if she was really going to cooperate with and listen to him, and recover her memory by doing the things they used to do.
He had never imagined that she would cooperate with him even though she looked as though she didn¡¯t trust him. This made Yin Shaojie feel happy.
From another perspective, it seemed that she still trusted him, even though she had lost her memory.
Mu Xiaoxiao saw that he was going to kiss her again, and she moved backwards blushing. She asked softly, ¡°Will this really make me remember?¡±
But¡ when she was kissing him, she only felt her mind bing muddled. She could only react towards whatever he was doing to her, and she couldn¡¯t think of anything else.
¡°What, what have you remembered?¡± he asked, his dark eyes gazing into hers gently.
Meeting his eyes, Mu Xiaoxiao felt an inexpressible softness in her heart.
She liked how he looked at her. It was very attentive and affectionate, as though his eyes were only for her and nothing else.
She shook her head honestly. ¡°No, I can¡¯t think of anything. So¡ can we stop?¡±
However, Yin Shaojie frowned and shook his head. ¡°No.¡±
¡°Why not?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao puffed her cheeks out. Upon thinking about how she had to continue doing such shameful things, her heart shrank again.
Yin Shaojie said earnestly, ¡°If you still can¡¯t think of anything it just means that we haven¡¯t done enough. I think we should do more to recall your memory.¡±
D-Do more?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ears were thoroughly red. ¡°H-how do we do more?¡±
They were already like this now, so doing more would mean¡
She shook her head. ¡°No way.¡±
¡°Why not?¡± Yin Shaojie asked seriously on purpose. However, his pursed lips were trying to hold hisughter in, because her serious little face was too amusing. He almostughed out loud.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him bashfully. ¡°We can¡¯t do¡¡±
¡°What can¡¯t we do?¡± He smirked devilishly. He obviously understood what she meant, but still wanted to get a clear answer.
Do¡ the words were too shameful. Mu Xiaoxiao really couldn¡¯t say them aloud, and she could only re at him as she pouted coquettishly.
¡°Anyway, we just can¡¯t do it!¡±
Yin Shaojie pretended that she was giving him a headache. Frowning, he said, ¡°What can we do then? How about this: let¡¯s have a little taste and see how far you can go. How about that?¡±
¡°For example¡ like this?¡± This demon matched his actions to his words. Without even obtaining her consent, he started to caress her chest naughtily.
Mu Xiaoxiao sputtered, ¡°Be gentler,¡± before using her reddened watery eyes to re at him, as though she were trying to stop him from his evil deeds.
¡°Oops, sorry. Was I using too much force? I¡¯ll be gentler this time, then,¡± Yin Shaojie said this in a softer voice. Releasing her from his ws, he ced his hands on her waist. Crossing his legs, he moved her forward and sat her down so that she was now a little higher.
Mu Xiaoxiao was wondering about what he was doing when he suddenly lowered his head and met her chest.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s sensitive skin was shocked, making her little face blush red. She was so bashful that she could not stop shaking and her heart felt so small that it was numb. Her little feet curled up on the sofa.

How could he do this? Mu Xiaoxiao was confused. She felt as though she was going to go mad, as though something hot in her brain was about to explode.
¡°Stop fooling around!¡± She pushed at him, trying to resist the impulse of kicking him away.
¡°Wifey¡¡± Yin Shaojie lifted his deep dark eyes to look at her. It held much affection, and his usually maic voice now sounded coy.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt as though she was about to fall into his gctic eyes.
His coy tone made her heart melt.
He was breaking the rules, right?
Yes, he was breaking rules!
Yin Shaojie moved closer to her, his lips curling upwards into a faint smile.
Taking a deep breath, all he smelled was the fresh sweetness of her youth.
¡°Wifey, you smell so good.¡± He didn¡¯t know when her scent became a drug for him.
Mu Xiaoxiao put a hand against his shoulder. Her sleepy eyes met his, and her little face was pretty with blush. In an embarrassed tone, she said, ¡°I don¡¯t¡ I smell like the hospital.¡±
Even though she had left the hospital hours ago, she could still smell the disinfectant from the hospital.
She hated that smell the most.
She believed that no one liked the smell of hospitals.
¡°Do you? Let me smell you again.¡± Yin Shaojie smiled and took the chance to bury his head into her neck. He sniffed her, and even rubbed the tip of his nose against her neck, as though he were a child with a new toy.
¡°Hey!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was ticklish from his touch and giggled. She then hugged his head so that he could stop fooling around.
¡°Stop fooling around! it¡¯s ticklish,l! hahaha¡¡±
Yin Shaojie liked the sound of herughter and continued to fool around with her.
However, he stopped very soon, for he knew that his self-control in front of her was just an act.
He had never seen such an obedient Mu Xiaoxiao. She believed whatever he said, and did not reject whatever he wanted her to do.
Faced with such a Mu Xiaoxiao, the gears in a dark corner of Yon Shaojie¡¯s mind began to turn.
Upon feeling his movement, Mu Xiaoxiao called out, ¡°Ah, what are you doing? Don¡¯t bite me! I¡¯m not some duck¡¯s neck.¡±
He was so bad. Was he pretending that she was duck neck?
Yin Shaojie lifted his head and looked into his eyes. Smiling with his mouth open, he revealed his monster-like fangs and said, ¡°You¡¯re not duck neck, because I¡¯m a vampire.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. ¡°Right, and I¡¯m a mermaid.¡±
Yin Shaojie said seriously, ¡°Yes, you¡¯re my mermaid.¡±
¡°Then you¡¯re my prince.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao hooked her arms around his neck and lit up with happiness.
Yin Shaojie held her chin and said, ¡°No. I¡¯m your husband. Call me ¡®hubby¡¯.¡±
He liked to hear her call him ¡°hubby¡±.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt bashful and responded evasively, ¡°Hubb¡ª¡±
Yin Shaojie waited. He then heard her say it softly. Even though he wasn¡¯t too happy with it, she looked really cute, and he thus let her off.
The two of them continued to fool around.
Finally, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t take it anymore and said in a low voice, ¡°Enough, enough¡¡±
Yin Shaojie still wanted to continue taking advantage of her, but found that she was frowning, and had a weird expression on her face.
He asked hurriedly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you feeling ufortable?¡±
Originally, Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to keep it from him, but upon thinking about it, nodded. ¡°My heart hurts a little¡¡±
Yin Shaojie was instantly worried. He held her little head up anxiously and looked at her.

He quickly got her down from hisp and had her sit on the sofa. He leaned over to her and asked, ¡°Does it hurt a lot? How does it hurt?¡±
Seeing that he was so worried about herself, Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, ¡°It¡¯s not very painful. It¡¯s just feels a little¡ swollen.¡±
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help but feel guilty. ¡°Is it because I was too¡¡±
She had only injured her headst night and wasn¡¯t fully recovered, yet he was making her endure such stimtion. He was scared that her brain wouldn¡¯t be able to stand the burden.
¡°Probably not.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao bashfully adjusted her shirt. She hugged a pillow, covering her chest before saying, ¡°I just need a break.¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at her worriedly and asked again, ¡°Are you okay?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m really fine.¡±
ncing through the corner of her eyes at the underwear that was thrown to the corner of the sofa, she felt so embarrassed.
How should she clean up?
Wracking her brains, she looked around and identally saw a very prominent bulge at his crotch.
Was this¡
Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly. She quickly realized what it was as her little face snapped to one side.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yin Shaojie asked worriedly upon noticing that she was acting weird, thinking that she might be feeling unwell.
¡°N-nothing¡ You, you, you¡¡± She kept stuttering but was too embarrassed to say it.
What should she do if he said he was going to continue what they were doing earlier after seeing that she was okay?
Her brain quickly came up with an idea, and she said hurriedly, ¡°I, I, I¡ I suddenly feel so ufortable. I want to go into the room to rest.¡±
Yin Shaojie was more worried about the headache that she mentioned. He was afraid that it might affect recovery.
The doctor said that there was a blood clot in her head. If she felt a headache, could the blood clot have worsened?
¡°Where are you feeling ufortable? Is your head still hurting badly?¡±
Seeing that he was really worried about her, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t bear seeing him feel worse, so she said slowly, ¡°It¡¯s not painful anymore. I¡¯m just feeling some difort somewhere else. I have to go back to the room to sleep for a while.¡±
With that said, she quickly got off of the sofa.
But Yin Shaojie reached out and stopped her, ¡°I¡¯ll carry you.¡±
¡°Hey, I don¡¯t need it!¡±
But her protests didn¡¯t work as he had already swept her off her feet like a groom carrying a bride.
¡°If you¡¯re feeling unwell don¡¯t push yourself. Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier?¡± He frowned and looked at her sternly.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
What should she do! Now, she was feeling even more guilty!
Yin Shaojie med himself as he said, ¡°If only I had known earlier, I wouldn¡¯t have fooled around with you. I should have waited. I was too impatient.¡±
Although he hadn¡¯t intended to make out with her to this extent and was only trying to test whether she would really obey his orders, he never thought that things would escte so quickly.
However, he was indeed to be med. He couldn¡¯t help being aroused the moment he touched her. His mind was all filled with dirty thoughts and what he was going to do to her.
Yin Shaojie carried her into the bedroom, put her on the bed, let her lie down, and then covered her with a nket.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly paused. She pulled the nket up to her nose to sniff it.
¡°This smell¡¡±
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yin Shaojie looked down at her.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed and said, ¡°This smells familiar. Does this mean that I have remembered something?¡±
If she said that she remembered something would it make him happier?

She said earnestly to him, ¡°I¡¯ll do my best to remember!¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes softened as he rubbed her head. ¡°Silly girl.¡±
¡°Okay, I¡¯m going to sleep. You can go out now and don¡¯t disturb me.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao tucked her neck back beneath the nket as she drove him out.
After saying that, her gaze unconsciously shifted to his crotch. It was still bulging. Blushing, she pulled up the nket to cover herself.
Yin Shaojie noticed where she was looking. He instinctively looked down and couldn¡¯t help but give a bitterugh.
He hadn¡¯t expected her to notice it.
No wonder she suddenly mored to rest.
But knowing that she wasn¡¯t really feeling unwell was a relief for him as well.
He patted the nket and said, ¡°Don¡¯t smother yourself. I¡¯ll go out now. Have a good rest.¡±
¡°Yeah!¡± Her voice came from beneath the nket.
Yin Shaojie went out toward the bathroom.
He silently sighed as he had to go take a cold shower.
When would he be able to start living the blissful life?
¡
Initially, Mu Xiaoxiao was only looking for an excuse to go back to the room to avoid the awkwardness. However, she really fell asleep. Perhaps it was because she was toofortable under the nket, or perhaps it was the smell of the bed that made her feel very at ease.
When she opened her eyes, she noticed that it wasn¡¯t bright outside anymore. It seemed like the sun was going to set.
¡°Jie¡¡± she instinctively called out.
Mu Xiaoxiao was in a daze upon waking up. Slowly recovering her senses, she forgot what she had just called out.
She stretched, feeling more sober. Then she opened her eyes and looked around the room.
Where was she?
Oh. She remembered. She lost her memory¡
As Mu Xiaoxiao slowly recalled what happened, she got down from the bed and walked toward the changing room.
Shortly, she came out wearing a skirt and a white undershirt. A see-through ckce top with a butterfly design was worn above, and ckce stockings covering and entuating her legs.
A ringing sound was heard. She went out to check only to find that it was her cell phone that was ringing.
She looked around. Where was Yin Shaojie?
Looking at the caller ID which showed an unsaved number, she didn¡¯t know much about it and answered the call.
¡°Hello?¡± She sat on the sofa and hugged a pillow.
¡°Xiaoxiao?¡± A very pleasant male voice was heard over the cell phone, sounding strangely charming.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know who the other person was, and she said, ¡°I¡¯m Xiaoxiao, who are you?¡±
¡°It¡¯s Feng Shengyang.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao batted her eyes. Who was Feng Shengyang? Was it her friend?
However, if he was her friend, why wasn¡¯t his number saved in her cell phone?
She suddenly remembered that Yin Shaojie had warned her not to answer calls from people she didn¡¯t know about! And that she should not tell anyone about her memory loss.
She hesitated for a while. Then she pretended to remember and said, ¡°Oh, Feng Shengyang. what¡¯s the matter? I¡¯m a little busy now, so¡¡±
Feng Shengyang interrupted her and said bluntly, ¡°Did you lose your memory?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stupefied. How did he know about her memory loss?
But she was still kept her guard up and didn¡¯t admit it. She returned him with a question. ¡°No. Why would you think that? Who told you that I lost my memory?¡±
¡°Have you forgotten? We were both injuredst night. I was going to visit you at the ward today only to find that you were discharged from the hospital. I asked around and found out about your memory loss.¡± Feng Shengyang sounded quite gloomy.

Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know if he was a good or bad person. Could he just be trying to worm information out of her?
¡°I didn¡¯t lose my memory. You were fooled.¡± She still continued to lie.
¡°Really? You really didn¡¯t lose your memory?¡± She couldn¡¯t pick up on his emotions through his voice, but there was a littleugh.
Heughed. Did that mean that he was happy? So he was her friend?
When she was in her thoughts, Feng Shengyang didn¡¯t mind her being quiet as heughed and said, ¡°If you¡¯re saying that you didn¡¯t lose your memory, then let me test you.¡±
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao thought she was in trouble. She should have given an excuse to hang up.
But if she hung up now, wouldn¡¯t she be running away from him?
Then that would be as good as admitting that she had lost her memory!
Mu Xiaoxiao looked sullen. What should she do? With her memory lost, she couldn¡¯t remember anything! How could she possibly pass his test?
Feng Shengyang didn¡¯t wait for her to reply and continued saying, ¡°I¡¯ll ask you. What is my horoscope sign?¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. How would she know what his horoscope sign was!
The gears in Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s head turned, and she chided him, ¡°You¡¯re weird! You¡¯re not even my boyfriend. Why would I know what your horoscope sign is?¡±
¡°OK, you pass.¡± Feng Shengyang sounded a little happier.
Mu Xiaoxiao was again stupefied. She passed just like that?
Then, Feng Shengyang was still not letting her off as he continued to ask, ¡°Second question. When I raced with Yin Shaojie, who won?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
It was even more unlikely that she would know that!
Her fingers touching her lips, she pondered for a while before betting on her answer. ¡°Yin Shaojie!¡±
Feng Shengyang sighed as though he were disappointed and said, ¡°You got it right again!¡±
Pleasantly surprised, Mu Xiaoxiao covered her mouth as she secretlyughed. She actually got it right? She was too smart!
¡°Okay. If you answer the third question correctly, then I¡¯ll believe that you didn¡¯t lose your memory.¡±
¡°Ask away then.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao seemed as though she were totally prepared.
¡°Do you know where I am now?¡± His voice suddenly became a little withdrawn.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. ¡°What kind of question is this? How would I know where you are now?¡±
¡°Make a guess.¡± Feng Shengyang seemed very persistent.
Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to draw some clues from her nk memory, but it was too difficult because she couldn¡¯t recall anything about this person called Feng Shengyang.
¡°I don¡¯t have a guess. I¡¯m not guessing anymore,¡± she said gloomily.
What kind of question was this? This had nothing to do with her memory loss, right?
Feng Shengyang said unhurriedly, ¡°I¡¯m somewhere¡ near you.¡±
¡°Somewhere near me?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t understand him. Then she suddenly thought of something. She turned to look at the door and eximed, ¡°You¡¯re not¡ at my doorstep, are you?¡±
She rushed down from the sofa, ran to the entrance, and peeked out of the peephole.
She didn¡¯t see anyone outside.
Just as she was about to turn away, a tall figure appeared in the peephole, scaring her.
¡°You¡¯re right.¡± Feng Shengyang spoke into the cell phone, as if he knew that she was looking through the peephole. He even smiled and waved at it.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She answered all three questions correctly. ording to their agreement, she should have proven that she didn¡¯t lose her memory.
But why did she feel as if she had been duped?

Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. Walking away from the entrance, she spoke into the cell phone, ¡°Why are you at my door? Alright, I have no time to chat with you. I have important things to do. That¡¯s all for now.¡±
Just when she was going to say goodbye, Feng Shengyang interrupted her, ¡°You really lost your memory, huh.¡±
It wasn¡¯t a question but an affirmative statement.
¡°Why are you so¡ so unreasonable? Didn¡¯t we agree earlier? If I answered three questions correctly, then you¡¯d believe that I didn¡¯t lose my memory. I really didn¡¯t lose my memory!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was determined as she carried on her lie.
This time, Feng Shengyang was obviouslyughing as he said, ¡°Are you dumb? I was trying to loosen your tongue. You couldn¡¯t even catch that? And you still have the cheek to say that you didn¡¯t lose your memory?¡±
If Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t lose her memory she would have known what kind of person he was and wouldn¡¯t have fallen for his trick.
She was led along obediently by him, proving that she really did lose her memory.
Moreover, the race between him and Yin Shaojie didn¡¯te to a conclusion. If she hadn¡¯t lost her memory, she wouldn¡¯t have answered them incorrectly.
Recalling how obedient she was when she answered his questions, Feng Shengyang only thought that she was cute, so much so that he could hardly stand it.
They were only separated by the door, yet he was already itching to see her.
Was this the first time he had ever felt like this?
The feeling of wanting to see someone quickly.
Mu Xiaoxiao was silent for a while.
She was certain now that she was indeed fooled by him.
She was a little angry and she said in a huff, ¡°You¡ How is it any of your business whether I lost my memory or not?¡±
¡°Of course it is my business,¡± Feng Shengyang replied.
Mu Xiaoxiao snorted and said, ¡°Then tell me, how is it your business?¡±
Although she didn¡¯t remember how Feng Shengyang was rted to her, she now felt that they were not friends!
This time, it was Feng Shengyang¡¯s turn to be silent.
Outside, Feng Shengyang rubbed his neck. In the past, he could have easily answered her, ¡°Because I care about you and want to know how you¡¯re doing¡±.
But now, for some reason, it was as if his throat was pinched.
He unconsciously restrained himself from his usualck of seriousness.
After a pause, he knocked on the door and said in a pitiful tone, ¡°I¡¯m already at your doorstep. Is this the way you treat a guest? At least let me in?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao could hear the sound of knocking on the door over the cell phone and she couldn¡¯t help but imagine him knocking sadly. Was he acting just like how they do in the movies, leaning and beating against the door, calling out pitifully?
Pfft! For some reason, her imagination brought her toughter.
¡°You¡¯re stillughing?¡± Feng Shengyang was actually keen enough to catch that shortughter over the phone.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly denied, ¡°I didn¡¯tugh!¡±
¡°You clearly did. You thought I couldn¡¯t hear it?¡± Feng Shengyang used her.
¡°You heard wrongly.¡±
Feng Shengyang scoffed, ¡°Open the door. I¡¯ll let you hear the recording of our conversation.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
This guy was recording their conversation. That was bloody odd, wasn¡¯t it?
¡°Xiaoxiao? Who are you talking to?¡± A new maic voice was heard.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned to look and saw Yin Shaojieing out from the study. His elegant face was puzzled as he stared at the cell phone by her ear.

¡°He¡ Ah, I forgot his name! This guy is horrible. He tricked me into saying things.¡± She ran to Yin Shaojie¡¯s side with dainty steps.
Hearing this, he took the cell phone from her hand and nced at the Caller ID.
It was an unsaved number.
He was reminded of Feng Shengyang¡¯s number which he had cklisted.
Anyone with a brain would know that even if the number was cklisted, they could still reach her using a different number.
Yin Shaojie was almost certain that Feng Shengyang was the one calling.
Holding the cell phone at his ear, he said bluntly in his deep voice, ¡°Feng Shengyang, is there a problem?¡±
Feng Shengyang clenched his teeth and tightened his grip on his phone.
This was the first time he had been cklisted.
When his calls were unable to get through, though he was smart, he first thought it was because the cellr signal was problematic on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s end. He even thought that perhaps Yin Shaojie had taken her out to the countryside.
But after a few hours of still not getting through with the calls, he then realized that he was cklisted.
He was actually cklisted!
Having realized this, Feng Shengyang was quite upset. He was always the one cklisting others. No one had cklisted him before. He was infuriated.
Feng Shengyang taunted, ¡°Yin Shaojie, are you scared of me?¡±
¡°Scared of you? Are you joking? Why should I be scared of you?¡± Yin Shaojieughed as if he had heard a joke.
¡°You don¡¯t dare to let Xiaoxiaoe close to me. You¡¯re afraid that I will snatch her, aren¡¯t you?¡± Feng Shengyang said haughtily.
Yin Shaojie scoffed, ¡°You think too much. Do you think you can snatch her from me?¡±
Feng Shengyangughed, ¡°How would you know if you don¡¯t try?¡±
Yin Shaojie chuckled. ¡°That¡¯s funny. Why should I let you try? Do you know how many people like my Xiaoxiao? If everyone got a try we¡¯d waste a lot of time with irrelevant people!¡±
What an irrelevant guy!
Although Feng Shengyang understood this, he was especially annoyed at being called ¡°irrelevant,¡± as if he had no history with Xiaoxiao.
Feng Shengyang knew he couldn¡¯t go up directly against him, so he eased up his tone as he said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m only here to see Xiaoxiao this time. I heard that she lost her memory. Is it serious?¡±
¡°Who told you that she lost her memory?¡± Yin Shaojie retorted with a question.
Feng Shengyang didn¡¯t beat around the bush as he said straightforwardly, ¡°You don¡¯t have to bluff. I have already confirmed that she has lost her memory.¡±
Yin Shaojie seemed displeased as his mouth twitched and he looked to Mu Xiaoxiao beside him. He reached out and pulled her into his arms.
¡°You told him that you lost your memory?¡± he whispered in her ear.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly shook her head, pointing at the cell phone indignantly and whispered, ¡°He tricked me. This guy is too horrible. Just who is he? What has this guy got to do with me? Why did he say that my business is his concern?¡±
¡°He¡¯s only a fly,¡± Yin Shaojie said casually.
His eyes rolled in thought, and he said in her ear, ¡°Call me in a sweet, coquettish way.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao immediately caught on as she looked at the cell phone.
Then she clung to Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm and called out in a sweet voice, ¡°Hubby~~ Just who is this guy? I don¡¯t even remember him.¡±

What a way to call him.
Her voice was heart-melting.
Normal guys would be provoked by Yin Shaojie, but Feng Shengyang was unpredictable. The way he thought was different from a normal person.
He was imagining the scene of Xiaoxiao calling him ¡®hubby¡¯ in the same tone of voice.
It gave him a fuzzy feeling. It felt really nice!
Feng Shengyang seemed unaffected. He said jokingly, ¡°Young Master Yin, is this your way of treating a guest? To just let a guest stand in the wind at your doorstep?¡±
It was also his first time being locked out and rejected at the door.
It had to be said that the feeling was particrly unpleasant!
Hearing that, Yin Shaojie raised his eyebrow. He looked to the door. ¡°You¡¯re at our doorstep? Just what do you want?¡±
This person came uninvited, and he still expected to receive a grand wee?
Dream on!
¡°I told you I only want to visit Xiaoxiao.¡± Feng Shengyang sounded very sincere.
Yin Shaojie said indifferently, ¡°My home isn¡¯t a zoo. You can¡¯t juste and visit anyone as you please.¡±
Feng Shengyang said, ¡°Xiaoxiao and I are friends, aren¡¯t we? Yin Shaojie, you don¡¯t have to be so guarded toward me. I have no ill intentions for Xiaoxiao. Although you are her fianc¨¦, shouldn¡¯t you consult her and ask if she would be willing to see me?¡±
In the apartment, Mu Xiaoxiao was in Yin Shaojie¡¯s arms. Her ears unconsciously pricked up to eavesdrop on their conversation.
But Yin Yinjie was too tall. Even if she stood on her toes, she still wouldn¡¯t be able to hear anything.
¡°What are you guys talking about?¡± She couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously, especially when Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression darkened.
It appeared that the two weren¡¯t having a very pleasant conversation.
Yin Shaojie looked down at her and asked, ¡°Do you want to see him?¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao batted her eyes uprehendingly. ¡°Why should I see him?¡±
Yin Shaojie smirked and said to Feng Shengyang over the cell phone. ¡°Hear that? She doesn¡¯t want to see you.¡±
Feng Shengyangughed bitterly outside. He had also heard what Mu Xiaoxiao said.
¡°Can you let me ask her personally?¡±
Yin Shaojie wanted to say no. But he suddenly wanted to know what Xiaoxiao thought of Feng Shengyang after losing her memory.
After interacting with her for half a day, he had the feeling that Xiaoxiao was treating people in the most candid manner.
So, would he then be able to see how she truly felt about Feng Shengyang?
With the idea in mind, Yin Shaojie agreed to Feng Shengyang¡¯s request and passed the cell phone to Xiaoxiao.
¡°What are you giving it to me for?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled, but she still took the phone.
Feng Shengyang said something to her. Then she nodded and said, ¡°Alright then. I¡¯ll see you.¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes narrowed. She was willing to see Feng Shengyang? What kind of situation was this?
Mu Xiaoxiao hugged his arm and walked him over to the entrance.
¡°Come and open the door with me.¡±
Although he was quite unhappy about it, Yin Shaojie still went to open the door with her. If he were to let her open the door alone, he would have been even more unwilling.
At the door, Feng Shengyang stood outside wearing an annoying smile as he said hello to them, ¡°Hello.¡±
¡°Come in, guest.¡± Yin Shaojie shot a nce at him.
Why did she agreed to see him?

Feng Shengyang smiled at Yin Shaojie. His smile had a hint of provocation as he got back at him for provoking him earlier.
Just as he came into the entranceway, Mu Xiaoxiao pointed at his feet, and bluntly instructed him, ¡°Remember to take off your shoes.¡±
Feng Shengyang paused for a moment, obediently took off his shoes, put on slippers, and followed behind her.
Yin Shaojie closed the door behind them. With a hand in his pocket, he watched them.
Feng Shengyang looked around the house. As though it was his own home, he sat on the sofa, throwing his arms over the back of the sofa. He smiled and said, ¡°This ce is pretty good. I wanted to buy a unit when it was put on the market, but the deals were already cut. The Great Master Yin is pretty impressive to have the right connections.¡±
¡°It¡¯s not just one unit. This entire block is mine.¡± Yin Shaojie smirked proudly, sounding as if he was showing off.
This was something he would never do. But today, he couldn¡¯t help it.
Hearing that, Feng Shengyang¡¯s eyes narrowed, and he asked with some disbelief, ¡°You¡¯re saying that this whole block is yours?¡±
The luxury condominium was currently one of the most expensive in the whole of City A. There were rumors that when someone wanted to buy a unit no one was willing to sell even if the offer was thirty million yuan because the units had be a status symbol.
Moreover, the unit that Yin Shaojie was staying in was on the highest floor with the best view.
Feng Shengyang knew that Yin family was one of the Big Four Families, but he had always scorned the reputation of the rich and powerful. But he had never thought that Yin Shaojie could be so well-off, and it was even harder to imagine how powerful the rest of the Yin Family was.
Yin Shaojie sat on the armchair, acting as a host. He asked, ¡°Would you like something to drink?¡±
Since he had already allowed the guest to enter, he should still show the necessary courtesy.
Feng Shengyang waved his hand, ¡°No need.¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°Wifey, I want to drink something. The guest said that he doesn¡¯t need any. Just get some drinks for us.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. Then she nodded and said, ¡°Oh, I¡¯ll get it!¡±
When she went to the fridge, Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression changed. He looked at Feng Shengyang, his thin lips making a fake smile as he said, ¡°The sun is about to set soon. Doesn¡¯t Young Master Feng have to rush home for dinner?¡± ¡±
Feng Shengyang smiled deliberately and said, ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t mind having dinner here.¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression turned icy. I mind!
Feng Shengyang nced over at the kitchen and smirked.
¡°But you guys don¡¯t cook much, right? How about we go out for dinner tonight? My treat.¡±
¡°No need. We¡¯re going to eat at home.¡± Yin Shaojie refused him immediately.
Just then, Mu Xiaoxiao brought Yin Shaojie¡¯s drink.
Feng Shengyang subconsciously wanted to receive it only to find that she didn¡¯t bring a drink for him.
He looked up at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯ll only be staying for a short chat?¡±
Feng Shengyang was speechless.
Must she drive him away so obviously?
The corner of Yin Shaojie¡¯s mouth curled up. So that was what he said to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat on the armrest of the armchair Yin Shaojie was sitting in. She looked at Feng Shengyang and asked, ¡°Just what are you here for? To confirm if I lost my memory?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Of course, that was not the only reason but Feng Shengyang didn¡¯t intend to talk about the other reasons.
Mu Xiaoxiao spread open her hands and said, ¡°Alright then. I¡¯ll admit that I really did lose my memory. Is that good enough?¡±

¡°Then, what¡¡± Feng Shengyang looked towards Yin Shaojie as he asked her, ¡°Do you remember? Or have you forgotten about everyone and everything?¡±
Before Mu Xiaoxiao could answer, Yin Shaojie held her little hand and smiled at Feng Shengyang. ¡°Xiaoxiao has indeed forgotten a few people and things. However, she does remember me, which is enough.¡±
Feng Shengyang¡¯s gaze looked as though he didn¡¯t quite believe him.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Yin Shaojie and smiled. She nodded at Feng Shengyang and said, ¡°Yeah, I only remember my husband and no one else, so I don¡¯t remember you. Can you tell me who you are? How are we rted?¡±
¡°I¡¯m Feng Shengyang¡¡±
¡°I know that. What else?¡±
Feng Shengyang looked as though he were having a headache. It would be a little weird if he said that he was a superstar, for he was more used to people being the one to praise how happening he was.
¡°If you want to know more, you can do a search on the Inte. There¡¯s a lot of information out there about me.¡± Through that, she would also be able to know how hot he was, and could understand him more too.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned lightly. ¡°And then? We¡¯re friends?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Feng Shengyang nodded.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help butugh. ¡°That¡¯s weird. If we¡¯re friends, why don¡¯t you tell me about yourself instead of asking me to look it up online?¡±
Feng Shengyang was stunned for a second.
¡°Do you still remember how we first met? You did the same thing and used my photo to do an online search before you remembered who I was.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao saw the light. She looked at Yin Shaojie and said, ¡°It¡¯s this trick again? To get me to do the things I¡¯ve done before so that I¡¯ll remember them?¡±
Yin Shaojie gave a guilty cough.
Mu Xiaoxiao stood up suddenly and said to Feng Shengyang, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ve gotten what I wanted to know, and you¡¯ve already seen me. You can leave now, right?¡±
Feng Shengyangughed. Was she really ordering him to get out so unceremoniously?
Yin Shaojie also looked at Xiaoxiao, a little surprised.
¡°If you¡¯re my friend and you¡¯re concerned about me, thank you. I¡¯m quite well now. Even though I don¡¯t remember anything, I¡¯m not troubled by anything currently,¡± she said to Feng Shengyang.
Since her attitude was already crystal clear, Feng Shengyang couldn¡¯t stay any longer. Generously, he said, ¡°I¡¯m relieved to hear you say that. Remember to tell me when you¡¯ve gained your memory back.¡±
¡°Oh, okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded.
Feng Shengyang looked at Yin Shaojie as he proffered his hand towards her. ¡°Can you give me your phone for a while?¡±
¡°Why?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
¡°You seem to have identally cklisted my number.¡±
¡°Am I that careless?¡± Mu Xiaoxiaoughed before she said teasingly, ¡°I¡¯ll think about whether to unblock you after I remember who you are. Did you make me unhappy in some way to make me cklist you?¡±
Feng Shengyang said mildly, ¡°It¡¯s the opposite, actually. I want to do things that make you happy.¡±
However, it seemed like he had already been kicked out of the arena.
Feng Shengyang was a proud person. He couldn¡¯t possibly prolong his stay since she had already asked him to get out so unceremoniously.
He rose and left.
After sending him off, Mu Xiaoxiao closed the door. Cocking her head to one side, she thought.
Arge and warm figure came to hug her from behind. The particr someone buried his face in her neck and rubbed his face against it tenderly.

¡°What are you doing?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she asked.
Yin Shaojie kissed her neck lingeringly as he said in a sexy tone, ¡°Wifey, I¡¯m really happy¡¡±
He felt immense joy when he saw how she treated Feng Shengyang like a stranger.
This meant that she had only seen Feng Shengyang as a normal friend before she had lost her memory.
¡°What¡¯re you happy about?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao did get what he was trying to say.
¡°Anyway, I¡¯m just very happy.¡± Yin Shaojie was still kissing her.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s neck was feeling ticklish from his actions. She shrunk from him and called out, ¡°Stop kissing me! It¡¯s ticklish!¡±
She was about to run off, but Yin Shaojie held her in his embrace securely, preventing her from doing so.
He brought her over to the top of the sofa and pressed her against it.
¡°Hey! Don¡¯t press down on me!¡± She remembered the shameful things they had done earlier in the morning and the tips of her ears reddened. She subconsciously felt that he was going to try those dirty things on her again, and tried to push him away hurriedly.
¡°Stop moving, I just want to hug you.¡±
¡°You¡¯re really only going to hug me?¡±
¡°Yeah¡ and also kiss you.¡± He nted a kiss on her cheek rewardingly as he spoke.
¡°You¡¯re really only going to kiss me?¡±
Yin Shaojie smirked and a sinister glint came into his gaze. ¡°I also want to¡ touch you again¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t think about it!¡±
¡°I¡¯ve already touched it. It¡¯s so soft and cottony.¡± Hisrge hands were roving about naughtily and he moved his lips close to her ear suggestively, saying this in a mesmerizingly low voice, before licking her sensitive earlobe.
¡°Ah~ Stop it! Why are you doing this? You only said that you¡¯re going to hug and kiss me! You¡¯re a liar!¡±
¡°Yeah, I¡¯m a liar.¡±
¡°Ah~ Be gentler, you¡ Stop¡¡± She could only bite her lip and try to stop herself from moaning from the movements of his fingers.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s dark gaze was deep as he looked at her and said in a low voice, ¡°Wifey, what should I do? I don¡¯t feel like eating anymore. The only thing I want to eat is you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao blushed and averted her gaze.
In the past she would have told him off and refuse to let him eat her.
However, she only blushed now. Was she silently agreeing to him?
¡°I¡¯m really going to eat you,¡± he repeated.
Mu Xiaoxiao bit her lip. Her face was practically burning, but she didn¡¯t utter any words of rejection.
She didn¡¯t know what was up with herself.
She felt as though she was put in a spot, and really wanted to find a hole to hide in, but¡ there was a voice in her heart that was saying that she shouldn¡¯t reject him, that she had to give herself to him.
Yin Shaojie lunged forward when he saw this reaction.
His breathing was hot and he looked at her with a burning gaze.
Was she¡ agreeing to this?
Suddenly, Yin Shaojie was afraid that he was wrong. He had guessed earlier that her actions after she lost her memory expressed her innermost thoughts.
So, was it still the same?
Yin Shaojie swallowed impatiently. Mu Xiaoxiao saw his Adam¡¯s apple move, and thought it was sexy.
Her little hand trembled lightly as she reached out to hug his neck, burying her face in it.
Yin Shaojie caressed her hair, trying hard to restrain himself, trying to calm the emotions that she had stirred up.
He looked down. It was only then that he realized that the dress she was wearing looked a little familiar.
Wasn¡¯t this from the batch ofce clothing that he had bought for her in the past?

Wasn¡¯t this from the batch ofce clothing that he had bought for her in the past?
She had not liked them and wouldn¡¯t wear them even if she were dead.
Why was she wearing them now?
Yin Shaojie stared at her. A wave of warmth passed through his heart.
The pink bubbles of romance floated in the air¡ and just then, a ringing phone from somewhere shattered the sweet calmness.
Mu Xiaoxiao moved. ¡°I think my phone is ringing¡¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s that guy who¡¯s calling?¡±
This Feng Shengyang seemed like an evil presence who wouldn¡¯t stop lingering!
Even though Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t feel like letting go of her, he still let her go after thinking about it. He nned to cklist Feng Shengyang¡¯s new number. No matter how many numbers he changed, Yin Shaojie would cklist every single one!
He reached out to take the phone as Mu Xiaoxiao looked over. ¡°It¡¯s Qiqing.¡±
He couldn¡¯t cklist it if it was Qiqing.
Yin Shaojie knew that Xiaoxiao¡¯s memory loss was something he couldn¡¯t conceal, and that it wasn¡¯t inconvenient even if Qiqing and the rest knew about it.
Thus, he answered the call.
¡°Xiaoxiao! Let¡¯s have dinner together. Where are you now? Are you at the condo or at the Yin residence? We¡¯lle to you.¡± Qiqing¡¯s voice rang out from the phone.
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°We¡¯re at the condo. We¡¯ve got something to tell you too, so let¡¯s find a ce to eat.¡±
Qiqing asked, puzzled, ¡°Where¡¯s Xiaoxiao? Why are you picking up her call?¡±
¡°She¡¯s right beside me. I¡¯ll tell you what happenedter. Let¡¯s go to the Imperial clubhouse to eat.¡±
¡°Sure, see youter.¡±
¡
At the Imperial Clubhouse.
¡°What? Xiaoxiao lost her memory?!¡± Han Qiqing¡¯s booming voice was so loud that it could tear the roof of the ce off.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes were half closed as she covered her ears and jumped aside.
Han Qiqing ran over to Xiaoxiao and caught her by the shoulders. With a crying expression, she asked, ¡°Xiaoxiao, don¡¯t you remember me? I¡¯m Qiqing, your best friend!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at her face for a few seconds before shaking her head, ¡°No, I don¡¯t.¡±
Han Qiqing looked at her face, hear heart aching. ¡°My poor Xiaoxiao. You must be feeling so helpless, right? Don¡¯t be scared. We¡¯re here for you! We¡¯ll help you get your memory back!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little ufortable from her touch and dodged her hands. Not knowing whether tough or to cry, she said, ¡°Actually¡ I feel okay.¡±
She didn¡¯t feel helpless!
Even though she had lost her memory, she strangely didn¡¯t feel as though there was anything to be afraid or scared of.
¡°Xiaoxiao, we¡¯re all your good friends, so you don¡¯t have to pretend you aren¡¯t scared in front of us. Being scared is normal. We can all understand you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao tugged at Yin Shaojie¡¯s hands for help. ¡°I¡¯m hungry. I want to eat.¡±
Yin Shaojie help to separate Qiqing from her. ¡°Alright, she said she¡¯s fine. And she¡¯s got me.¡±
The dishes came quickly. Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t stand their interrogation, and thus lowered her head to focus on eating.
Han Qiqing turned her head towards Song Shijun and conversed with him in a whisper.
¡°Say, do you think Xiaoxiao is faking her memory loss? I¡¯ve never seen someone so calm after losing their memory.¡±
Song Shijun always liked to disagree with her, and thus looked at her and said, ¡°How do you think Xiaoxiao should behave? Look panicked? Or look shocked? She¡¯ll look like she¡¯s mentally ill.¡±

At the mention of ¡°mental illness¡± Han Qiqing suddenly remembered something. She asked Yin Shaojie hurriedly, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that Su Lin was there as well? What happened to her?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression froze for a second.
He looked at Xiaoxiao beside him and noticed that she was focused on eating, looking as if she wasn¡¯t paying attention.
Song Shijun read the mood and elbowed Han Qiqing, hinting to her not to mention it anymore.
Han Qiqing was confused. Frowning, she moved close to Song Shijun¡¯s ear and whispered, ¡°Could it be that Su Lin is¡ dead?¡±
Even though she didn¡¯t have a close friendship with Su Lin, they could still be considered friends, for their families had been acquainted for many years and they had interacted with each other on a daily basis.
Thus, upon hearing such grievous news, Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t help but feel a little sad.
Song Shijun seemed to guess the same thing as she did, and said in a low voice, ¡°It might be. After all, Su Lin got into an ident in front of Xiaoxiao¡ Even though she doesn¡¯t remember it anymore, it¡¯s best for her to not know about it.¡±
Even though they were already whispering softly, Yin Shaojie still seemed to hear it as he looked over at them.
Han Qiqing and Song Shijun were concerned that Xiaoxiao might have heard and thus stopped talking, resuming their dinner.
After dinner, Han Qiqing suggested that they go shopping. As usual, she went up to hug Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s arm.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment.
Qiqing smiled at her and said, ¡°Xiaoxiao, let¡¯s go shop! We¡¯ll do it like how we did before. Maybe you¡¯ll be able to remember things!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao walked two steps forward, but kept looking back repeatedly.
Finally, she pushed Qiqing¡¯s hand away and said, ¡°Sorry, I don¡¯t really feel like shopping.¡±
Under Qiqing¡¯s astonished gaze, she then walked to the back and hugged Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm.
¡°What¡¯s wrong? You don¡¯t want to shop?¡± Yin Shaojie looked at her and asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t know what happened to her. She had been good friends with Qiqing before her memory loss. Could it be that she actually didn¡¯t consider Qiqing a good friend?
He thought that it was impossible. Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t someone who liked to pretend. If she didn¡¯t like Qiqing, she wouldn¡¯t have be such good friends with her.
Could it be that¡ he had guessed wrong?
Even though he was feeling puzzled, Yin Shaojie still put Xiaoxiao¡¯s feelings first. Since she didn¡¯t want to shop anymore, they wouldn¡¯t continue.
¡°Shijun, you can apany Qiqing. Xiaoxiao might be tired, so I¡¯ll bring her home first.¡±
Yin Shaojie took Xiaoxiao away after he spoke.
Han Qiqing stood behind them. She looked a little sad as she looked towards Song Shijun and said, ¡°Does Xiaoxiao not want to y with me because she doesn¡¯t remember me?¡±
Song Shijunforted her. ¡°I think you¡¯re thinking too much. Xiaoxiao must feel uneasy because of her memory loss. Or it could be that¡ she doesn¡¯t feel afraid when she¡¯s with Shaojie.¡±
¡°Is this really true?¡±
¡°Of course! Who do you think is more important in Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart? You, or Shaojie?¡± Song Shijun looked at her and asked.
Han Qiqing was speechless.
Need this question be asked?
¡
Yin Shaojie brought Xiaoxiao along the road. Originally, he wanted to go and get his car, but Xiaoxiao suddenly said, ¡°Let¡¯s go shop over there. I don¡¯t feel like going home yet.¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t you not want to shop earlier?¡± Yin Shaojie looked at her, amused.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and kept silent.
Yin Shaojie asked tentatively, ¡°You don¡¯t want to shop with Qiqing and the rest?¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head subconsciously before pausing and nodding again.
¡°Do you hate Qiqing?¡± Yin Shaojie asked, a little surprised.
This time, Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head earnestly.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s heart quivered a little and his dark eyes locked onto her little face.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little guilty and looked down at the ground.
¡°So it¡¯s not that you don¡¯t like Qiqing, but that you just want to be together with me?¡± he asked in a low voice.
Mu Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip softly and turned her head away.
Even though she didn¡¯t say it out loud, she had silently agreed.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s lips curled up in delight. So it was like this. Even though she didn¡¯t remember anyone, she still wanted to stay with him subconsciously.
Mu Xiaoxiao changed the subject hastily. Pointing forward, she said, ¡°That shopping center looks a little familiar. Have I been there with you before?¡±
Yin Shaojie lifted his head and looked over. He remembered that he had indeed been there with her before.
¡°You remember now?¡± he asked, his dark eyes attentive on her little face.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused and thought for a while. ¡°I feel¡ something, but I don¡¯t remember anything.¡±
She just felt as though she had been there with him before, but there weren¡¯t any corresponding memories in her mind.
Yin Shaojie reached out and touched her cheek. Its smoothness and softness was veryfortable.
¡°It¡¯s okay. Didn¡¯t I already say? Just let ite naturally to you. There¡¯s no rush to remember.¡±
Yin Shaojie held her hand and guided her forward.
¡°We¡¯ll walk around here for fun. I¡¯ll bring you to anywhere that interests you, okay?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled. ¡°Okay!¡±
Thus, the two of them held hands and walked around the shops like a normal couple.
After walking around, they came back empty-handed.
¡°Didn¡¯t you like that incense? Why didn¡¯t you buy it?¡± Yin Shaojie looked at her uprehendingly. He knew that she had liked those things before. When they were shopping earlier, she had noticed the uniqueness of its appearance, and couldn¡¯t take her eyes off it. However, when he said that he wanted to get it for her, she refused.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°I like it a lot, but I don¡¯t feel like buying it.¡±
¡°Why?¡± Yin Shaojie suddenly stopped and stared at her as he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked distressed. She couldn¡¯t answer why, but knew that she didn¡¯t want to buy it subconsciously.
Yin Shaojie looked at her, wanting to hear what she had to say.
Actually, he knew that she didn¡¯t buy it because he didn¡¯t like these things.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a little while but still couldn¡¯t think why. Giving up, she said, ¡°Aiyoh, I just don¡¯t feel like buying it! It can¡¯t be eaten anyway, so it doesn¡¯t matter whether I buy it or not.¡±
She didn¡¯t want to think about it anymore, for her brain was starting to hurt.
¡°We¡¯ve been shopping for so long. Don¡¯t you have anything that you want to buy?¡± He remembered that she would buy a lot of things, to the point where she couldn¡¯t carry them with both hands, when she shopped with Qiqing in the past.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. Her expression was ordinary as she said, ¡°I don¡¯t really feel like buying anything. It¡¯s not a must to buy things when out shopping anyway.¡±
Yin Shaojie took her little hand and nted a sudden kiss on it. There was delight in his deep, dark eyes as he said, ¡°So, you only felt like shopping with me?¡±
Buying things weren¡¯t important. Only who he was with was important.
¡°Let¡¯s stop standing around and go. Let¡¯s go home.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said.

Yin Shaojie only smiled. He was silent as he let himself be pulled along by her.
At the carpark, in the car.
Only then did he lean forward, a hand on the steering wheel and another on the back of the passenger seat, moving his handsome face in front of her.
¡°I think I get it now,¡± he said, looking as though he had discovered a big secret.
Mu Xiaoxiao asked uprehendingly, ¡°What?¡±
Yin Shaojie smirked and moved his gorgeous face even closer. In a maic voice, he said, ¡°You don¡¯t want anything because having me is enough. Right?¡±
A blush spread across Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s cheeks. ¡°What are you talking about! I never said that!¡±
¡°I just know it.¡± Yin Shaojieughed cleverly. He didn¡¯t want to listen to her denials, and turned back to the front and started the car.
He suddenly slowed down when he reached a certain street.
¡°Look there at that food street. Do you remember anything?¡± He pointed over and stopped his car by the road instinctively.
Food street?
Upon hearing these words, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes seemed to light up. She looked over to where he was pointing and saw that there was indeed a food street. It was bustling with activity and looked very exciting.
¡°Wanna take a look?¡± he asked. ¡°I wanna look, I wanna look¡± was written on her gaze, and preventing her from going would seem immoral.
¡°Yes!¡± As expected, she nodded quickly.
Even though they had already had dinner, the shopping earlier had digested some of their food, so they could have some snacks for supper.
Yin Shaojie thought that she might even remember something. He found a spot to park his car, took her little hand, and exited the car together.
The food street was extremely crowded at this hourl.
¡°Look!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao hugged his arm as she smiled and said, ¡°Why is there a group of people there? Are they on a tour?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know. Be careful, don¡¯t bump into other people.¡± Yin Shaojie protected her cautiously. The crowd grew in size the further in they walked.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was full of excitement. She wanted to buy and eat everything she saw.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. ¡°Alright, I take back my words earlier.¡±
This girl was evidently a glutton. Perhaps she might even be sessfully abducted with food.
¡°What did you say?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to have heard his voice, but not what he said, for it was noisy.
¡°Nothing. What do you want to buy? Hurry up and queue. There are a lot of people.¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t like the crowd. It was only some food. Was there a need to want it so badly?
However, he wanted to make her happy, and thus he endured it.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned her pretty eyebrows. ¡°Why do I feel like there are more and more people? Why are there so many people here?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked around, using his height as an advantage. ¡°That group of people you saw earlier is squeezing over too.¡±
The group of people were wearing the same clothes. Even though they weren¡¯t part of the tour, they seemed like an organization who were here for food after the end of their activity.¡±
¡°What do we do? I haven¡¯t gotten my strawberry fried ice cream.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the store owner¡¯s moving hands eagerly.
¡°It¡¯s okay, just continue waiting. Wait over here We¡¯ll get something elseter,¡± Yin Shaojie said as he looked towards the crowd.
A wave of people squeezed over, and bumping into other people became inevitable.
Yin Shaojie gathered Mu Xiaoxiao into his embrace and protected her with his broad back. She stood there safely, looking at the wave of people.

Finally, Mu Xiaoxiao received her strawberry fried ice cream from the stall vendor. Her face beamed with a sweet smile, sweeter than that of the strawberry fried ice cream in her hand.
She ate a mouthful and tasted it before asking him hesitantly, ¡°Do you want to try some?¡±
Yin Shaojieughed. ¡°You look like you don¡¯t really want me to taste it.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. She scooped a mouthful for him and offered it to him. ¡°No, I don¡¯t. Here, have some.¡±
Yin Shaojie was actually more interested in tasting the ice cream in her mouth. However, there were too many people around and kissing her wasn¡¯t convenient here.
Sighing, he leaned forward and ate the fried ice cream on her spoon.
¡°Why? Was that too little?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao saw him sigh and hurriedly scooped a big spoon and offered it to him.
Yin Shaojie smiled, ¡°Eat it yourself.¡±
¡°You really don¡¯t want it? You don¡¯t like it?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him.
He pinched her cheek and said, ¡°It¡¯s delicious, and that¡¯s precisely why I don¡¯t want to snatch it away from you. Let¡¯s go. Aren¡¯t we going to buy more things?¡±
¡°I wanna buy that¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pointed to a stall that was a little farther away.
The both of them had previously been holding hands, but now Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hands were busy with her fried ice cream. Thus, Yin Shaojie could only stand behind her to protect her.
Suddenly the crowd pushed forward.
Mu Xiaoxiao was carried forward by the wave but she didn¡¯t notice the movement as it was very subtle.
When she came back to her senses, she realized that Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t around anymore.
Where was he?
Mu Xiaoxiao panicked in an instant, and looked around.
¡°Yin Shaojie!¡± She shouted his name anxiously. However, as luck would have it, the stall beside her was sting music, which drowned out her voice.
Mu Xiaoxiao shouted two more times and felt herself going hoarse.
In front of her was a thick crowd, but there was no one she knew.
A wave of helplessness and fear clutched at her heart. Turning back, she ran, but still couldn¡¯t find Yin Shaojie.
Where was he? Where was he?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s teary eyes held an uneasiness, her gaze at a loss as she searched for that familiar figure.
The only familiar figure to her.
¡°Little girl, what¡¯s the matter?¡± A shifty-eyed man saw her abnormal behavior and leaned over to ask.
Mu Xiaoxiao was so anxious she forgot to keep her guard up. She only wanted to hurry up and find Yin Shaojie.
¡°Yin Shaojie, where are you¡¡±
Her voice sounded faintly sobbing, and her voice was hoarse.
That man saw how she was about to cry from anxiety and reached out to pull her in. ¡°Little girl, don¡¯t worry. Are you separated from your parents? Don¡¯t be afraid. Uncle will help you. Come, there are a lot of people in the middle of the road. Let¡¯s stand here by the side so that people won¡¯t bump into you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao felt disgusted by his touch and used all her effort to shake his hand off.
¡°Let go of me! Who are you? I don¡¯t know you!¡±
¡°Little girl, I am a good person. I only want to help you.¡± That man attempted tofort her, by putting his arms around her.
However, at the next second, arge hand seized his fingers and folded them back forcefully.
¡°Ah¡ª It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!¡± The man shrieked.
¡°What are you doing?¡± A cold voice asked.
When Mu Xiaoxiao heard this voice, her little face froze and she turned her head towards it violently. Upon seeing that it was Yin Shaojie, she flung her little body onto his instantly and hugged him tightly.
Her voice was choked as she said, ¡°I thought I lost you, boohoo¡ Just now, I tried but c-couldn¡¯t find you at all¡¡±

Yin Shaojie held her back with one hand and grabbed the man¡¯s arm with another. His gaze was frosty when he looked at the man, but filled with heartache and tenderness when he turned to look at her.
¡°It¡¯s alright now. It¡¯s my fault for losing you.¡± After the crowd had squeezed in and separated them, he had started to look for her instantly, but was still a little slow.
Upon realizing that they were lovers, the man became timid. He stammered, ¡°H-Handsome boy¡ I really am not a bad guy. I saw this little girl looking lost and I only wanted to help. I really have no ulterior motives!¡±
He even tried to look upright as he spoke.
However, no matter how anyone looked, this person looked really shifty and didn¡¯t look like a good person.
Moreover, how could he possibly cheat Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes? When Yin Shaojie had rushed over, he had already seen bad intentions in his gaze.
How dare he still say he was a good person?
Yin Shaojie chuckled as he bent his fingers backwards even more to the point where they were about to break.
¡°AH, AH, AH¡ª It¡¯s b-breaking, it¡¯s going to break!¡± the man shrieked, practically kneeling on the floor right now. He hurriedly begged the nearby crowd for help. ¡°Help! This man is crazy. I¡¯m obviously a good guy, but he says that I¡¯m the bad guy! You¡¯re trying to nder me, right?¡±
Just then, the vendor from the nearby stall recognized Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°Eh, isn¡¯t this girl the heroine who saved people before? I remember now. This is her boyfriend.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s her! I recognize her now. I think this man thought that she looked pretty and wanted to take advantage of her. Now, he¡¯s been exposed by her boyfriend. Serves him right!¡±
¡°Weren¡¯t there rumors of a molester going around molesting girls? I think it must be him! Girl, don¡¯t be afraid to call the police. We will be your witnesses!¡±
A few voices rang out, and it slowly became the crowd judging the man.
The man indeed had bad intentions originally. Upon being scolded by so many people and hearing that the police were going to be called, he was so scared that his legs went numb.
¡°I-I¡¯m not¡ I really am not a bad guy! I really only wanted to help this little girl just now¡¡±
A person sneered, ¡°This girl is so grown up already. She isn¡¯t a three-year-old who needs your help.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t let him get away! Hurry up and call the police!¡±
Yin Shaojie was holding Xiaoxiao in his arms and he could feel her trembling.
Mu Xiaoxiao grasped his shirt tightly and pressed himself close to him, as though she were afraid of him disappearing again.
Yin Shaojie frowned. He didn¡¯t want to interact with the man any further, but didn¡¯t want to let him go easy. He aimed a kick at his balls and threw him to the ground.
The man shrieked painfully as he clutched his jewels and rolled about on the ground.
Upon handing him over to the crowd to hand over to the police, Yin Shaojie left with Mu Xiaoxiao.
Normally, most people didn¡¯t like to care about other people¡¯s business and would rather not bother themselves with unnecessary trouble. Thus, perhaps it was Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s past heroism which made the stall vendors behave righteously and staunchly dere that they would definitely hand this pervert over to the police.
Yin Shaojie brought Mu Xiaoxiao back to the car. He wanted her to get in, but Mu Xiaoxiao still held him and refused to let go.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± he asked gently, as though he were trying to pacify a child.
Mu Xiaoxiao buried her head in his chest and breathed in his scent deeply, whimpering but not answering.

Yin Shaojie held her with one hand and held her little hand with the other, trying to ease her trembling.
¡°What¡¯s wrong? Can you tell me about it? Did the person do something to you¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head.
¡°Then¡¡± Yin Shaojie was about to question her further, but suddenly understood. She was so scared because she had been separated from him, right?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s arms were wrapped around him.
Yin Shaojie kissed her forehead and cajoled, ¡°Aren¡¯t I here now? We won¡¯te here anymore. Something always happens when wee here.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was about to nod but paused. In a tiny voice, she said, ¡°No¡¡±
¡°No?¡± Yin Shaojie thought he had heard wrongly. ¡°Why not?¡±
It was only then that Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head. Her eyes were still wet as she said, ¡°The food here is delicious¡¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. He lowered his head to give her on the tip of her little red nose. ¡°You¡¯re such a glutton! Let¡¯s go, we¡¯re going home.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± She nodded.
¡ª¡ª¡ª
Back at the condominium.
As per usual, Mu Xiaoxiao threw herself onto the sofa andy therefortably with a cushion in her arms.
¡°Jie, I want to drink fruit juice!¡± she hollered casually.
Yin Shaojie, who was about to put the keys on the stand, paused. Looking at her, he asked, ¡°What did you call me earlier?¡±
Did she remember something?
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. ¡°Earlier? I don¡¯t remember anymore¡¡±
She only spoke out casually. She then forgot what she had said after she had spoken.
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes. Walking to her side, he leaned down and trapped her between his arms. ¡°What did you call me earlier?¡± he asked again.
The gears in Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s head turned. Had she addressed him incorrectly?
She hastily smiled fawningly and hugged his neck with her hands. In a sweet voice, she called, ¡°Hubby~ Is that right?¡±
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t stop smiling.
He had only wanted to ask her what she had remembered.
But expectedly, she¡
He pretended to look serious and leaned down to bite her nose in mock anger before saying, ¡°You have to address me like that in the future. Got it?¡±
¡°Got it¡¡± Unexpectedly, Mu Xiaoxiao agreed obediently, but released the hands which had been hugging him.
She pushed his chest as she said, ¡°Get off. I want to take a shower. I¡¯m sweaty and the stickiness is bothering me.¡±
Also, it was already time for bed.
Mu Xiaoxiao stretchedzily, feeling a little tired.
A shower?
Yin Shaojie smirked devilishly. ¡°Yeah, me too. I¡¯m sweaty all over, and I smell like the oils from the food street. I want to shower too, so let¡¯s take a shower together.¡±
Ah?!
Take a shower t-together? Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened exaggeratedly.
¡°This¡¡±
She wanted to shower by herself!
She didn¡¯t say that she wanted to shower with him!
Yin Shaojie looked serious as he said, ¡°Yeah, we¡¯ll shower together. Is there a problem? Oh, you¡¯ve forgotten. We shower together frequently.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Why did she not believe those words?
¡°Is that true? You¡¯re lying, right?¡± She looked incredulous as she looked at him, her ears warm.
Yin Shaojie maintained his serious expression as he looked at her and said, ¡°Of course it¡¯s true. Aren¡¯t we doing the things we normally do to trigger your memories?¡±
Chapter 998 - You’re the Only One I Want Too (6)

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
He smiled and said, ¡°Then we¡¯ll do like we used to do.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s dainty brows wrinkled as she continued to doubt him. ¡°Are you serious¡¡±
But on second thought, they hadn¡¯t been engaged for very long. Still having the hots for each other, cohabiting, being glued to each other, and wanting to get intimate together were reasonable, right?
Mu Xiaoxiao felt embarrassed and conflicted. But thinking that it could help her to regain her memory, she gritted her teeth and nodded.
Yin Shaojie looked at her in astonishment. ¡°You¡ nodded. Does that mean you are agreeing to showering together?¡±
He felt as if he were dreaming.
Usually when he tried to lure her into taking a bath together as a couple, it had been harder than reaching heaven, but it actually went so smoothly today!
Mu Xiaoxiao blushed, pushed him away, and slipped away from under his arm.
¡°I didn¡¯t say that!¡± she shouted bashfully before rushing to the bathroom.
¡°But you just nodded!¡± Yin Shaojie quickly chased up behind her. Just when she was about to close the door, he quickly held back the door and prevented her from closing it.
Afraid that she might smash his hand, she didn¡¯t dare to close the door forcefully. But she didn¡¯t want him toe in either, so she had no choice but to confront him.
¡°I didn¡¯t nod. You¡¯re mistaken.¡± She hurriedly denied, biting her lower lip bashfully, wondering why she nodded.
Seeing his reaction, her nodding seemed like a surprise to him.
Though Mu Xiaoxiao lost her memory, she didn¡¯t lose her intelligence. Immediately, she could tell that when he said that they often bathed together, he must have been lying to her!
¡°I¡¯m mistaken?¡± Yin Shaojieughed. He suddenly curled his finger and knocked on the door.
He even started to sing, ¡°Little rabbit, be good and open up the door¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao broke out inughter. ¡°What are you doing?¡±
She was caught off guard when he suddenly started singing and she forgot about stopping Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie eyes were amused as he said, ¡°I¡¯m appealing to enter. You said that I was mistaken, so I¡¯m asking again, alright?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a stirring upon seeing his gaze. She wanted to refuse him, but for some reason, she couldn¡¯t say the words.
There seemed to be a voice deep in her mind telling her, ¡°Don¡¯t refuse him. Give yourself to him.¡±
¡°My dear wifey~~ can I enter?¡± Yin Shaojie actually tried to act coquettishly with her.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt her heart bing soft.
Yin Shaojie pushed the door forcefully and entered through the gap.
¡°Hey! You can¡¯te in here!¡±
¡°I¡¯m already in. Haha. The big bad wolf has entered!¡±
¡°Bastard, get out¡¡±
¡°No, the big bad wolf is going to eat the little white rabbit.¡±
Sounds of yful frolicking were heard from the bathroom.
¡ª¡ª-
In the bathroom, mist filled the room.
Two bodies stood under the showerhead as warm water sprayed down upon them.
Yin Shaojie pressed Mu Xiaoxiao against the tiles, kissing her impatiently. His hot tongue invaded her little mouth, insatiably sucking up the sweetness within her.
Although the two were still wearing clothes, the clothes were drenched, clinging onto their skin.
Mu Xiaoxiao was being overwhelmed by his kisses.
Behind her, the tiles felt slightly cold, but in front of her, was a ball of fire burning her up.
His kiss was more intense than before, as if he was going to swallow her.
¡°Ungh uh¡¡±
Chapter 999 - You’re the Only One I Want Too (7)
Chapter 999: You¡¯re the Only One I Want Too (7)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Ungh mhm¡¡± She wanted to protest, but her little mouth was tightly sealed.
Mu Xiaoxiao simply couldn¡¯t bear the intensity. Feeling short of oxygen, her little hand pushed against his chest.
Yin Shaojie was a little out of control, but he released her slightly so that she could breathe.
His voice was husky as heughed, ¡°We already kissed so many times. You still haven¡¯t figured out how to breathe?¡±
She was definitely the worst student in this area.
With that said, Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help but bend down to lick the corner of her lips.
And his hand began to move. He tugged at her clothes, attempting to take them off.
Mu Xiaoxiao calmed down for a while, and her breathing returned to normal. When she realized what he was doing, her skirt had already fallen to the floor.
¡°Hey¡¡± She feigned anger as she red at him coquettishly.
Yin Shaojie raised his brow. ¡°Hey? Did you forget what you should be calling me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao bit her lip and didn¡¯t reply to him.
¡°Tell me. What should you be calling me?¡± Yin Shaojie suddenly quite impatient as he wanted to hear her call him ¡®hubby¡¯.
Mu Xiaoxiao just wouldn¡¯t y along with him.
She could only feel her heart beating so quickly that it was about to burst out.
¡°Say it. Say it for me, alright? I want to hear it.¡± This time, he switched to a gentle and cating tone.
He knew that this wretch was amenable to coaxing but not coercion.
Yin Shaojie bent down and kissed her cute, dainty earlobe. As if he were tasting a delicacy, he licked it, took it into his mouth, and sucked on it.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt fuzzy inside and her skin quivered.
¡°Come on!¡± He finally couldn¡¯t help it as he said tyrannically.
Finally, a soft, shy voice called to him by his ear, ¡°Hubby¡¡±
¡°Say that again.¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice was so husky that it was even more imbued with fatal charm than usual.
¡°Hubby¡¡±
¡°Good!¡± Yin Shaojie was very satisfied. His thin lips kissed her from her ear downward, tasting her delicate skin.
When his hand pressed against the tile, he then realized that it was cold.
He quickly pulled her away from the tile, bowing down to kiss her forehead.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, feigning anger coquettishly as she said, ¡°It¡¯s bloody cold¡¡±
Yin Shaojie felt a little guilty. ¡°Sorry, I didn¡¯t realize that. Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up, and their eyes met. She seemed to have shot a re at him, but her eyes like limpid autumn waters seemed seductive however he looked at them.
If it wasn¡¯t for him grabbing and kissing her so intensely, how could she find any chance to voice her protest?
Yin Shaojie felt guilty. He drew her into his arms, snuggling her against his body.
Clinging onto his solid chest, Mu Xiaoxiao felt like he was a stove, constantly emitting heat.
Suddenly, everything turned as he switched her position.
This time, he leaned himself against the tiles.
¡°It¡¯s cold¡¡± she quickly said.
Was he dumb?
He knew that it was cold yet he still leaned on them.
Yin Shaojie made a pitiful look, bent his head down, his dark eyes focusing on her little face as he said, ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s cold. So my dear wifey, shouldn¡¯t you be thinking of ways to warm me up?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Should she pretend that she didn¡¯t understand him?
Chapter 1000 - You’re the Only One I Want Too (8)
Chapter 1000: You¡¯re the Only One I Want Too (8)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Obviously not. He wouldn¡¯t allow it.
Yin Shaojie bossily held up her little hand and ced it on his chest.
Mu Xiaoxiao could feel the growing power under his chest muscles. She could feel the strong thumping of his heart under her hand.
He spread open his arms and said, ¡°Come on. Warm me up.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help butugh at the look of him.
Seeing that she wasn¡¯t moving, Yin Shaojie made eyes and hinted at her.
¡°Come on.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pretended not to understand him. ¡°What? Can¡¯t you just turn on the hot water?¡±
¡°But I want the warmthing from you. Why are you so stingy?¡± Yin Shaojie raised his eyebrow, looking discontented.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
For some reason, she had the feeling that he had ulterior motives.
If she were to do as he said, would it be equivalent to falling into his trap? Did he have tricks up his sleeve?
Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice was bewitching. ¡°Come on. Are you forgetting again? You always listen to me, but now you¡¯re not.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was dumbstruck.
Was he making use of her losing her memory?
She pretended to be calm. ¡°Aren¡¯t you cold? Go take a shower. Don¡¯t catch a cold. I¡¯ll go out first then¡¡±
With that said, she wanted to walk away from under the showerhead.
If she continued staying there, it seemed like it would only be more dangerous for her!
However, how could she escape? With an outstretched arm, Yin Shaojie pulled her back and hugged her.
¡°Why are you so disobedient? I only asked you to hug me, and you¡¯re not even willing to do that. How are we going to do other things then?¡± He sounded mournful, and he bit on her earlobe.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ear turned red.
There. He let slip that there was more to what he wanted to do with her than just a simple hug.
She mustn¡¯t be fooled.
¡°This isn¡¯t about whether I¡¯m obedient or not. Hurry up. Go turn on the hot water and take a shower. That¡¯s more important. What if you catch a cold?¡± She refused to be fooled and led by the nose as she changed the subject.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes narrowed. It seemed as though she had recovered.
She seemed like she could resist him now. Great.
It was more fun this way.
¡°No. If you don¡¯t hug me, I¡¯m not going to turn on the hot water. I¡¯ll just catch a cold.¡± He simply became unreasonable.
Mu Xiaoxiao bitterly smiled as she stared at him. It felt funny, but she also felt unwilling.
In the confrontation, she finally made apromise.
It was only a hug, right? Must he act like this!
Mu Xiaoxiao went up to hug him, providing him with the heat from her body.
¡°Are you satisfied now? Turn on the hot water and take a shower then.¡±
The corner of Yin Shaojie¡¯s mouth curled. ¡°Okay, but¡ before taking a shower we have to take off our clothes, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned.
Yin Shaojie chuckled. As though the idea were perfectly natural, he said, ¡°How can you take a shower without taking off your clothes? Don¡¯t be shy. It¡¯s not like I haven¡¯t seen you naked.¡±
In reality he hadn¡¯t seen her naked yet.
A certain someone seemed very calm as he continued to trick her. He was even smiling sinisterly, looking as though it was effortless to him.
¡°Ah¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded. She wished she could find a hole to hide in.
Her eyes darted around as she wondered what she should do.
Yin Shaojieughed. He didn¡¯t want to pressure her. Since he had managed to trick her this time, he could take it one step at a time and not rush things.
¡°Okay, since you¡¯re scared, forget it.¡±

If it wasn¡¯t because he was reluctant to pressure her, he would have¡
Yin Shaojie felt as if his body was about to lose control just by fantasizing it.
He took a few deep breaths and said, ¡°Don¡¯t take off your clothes. Just shower like this.¡±
With that said, he grabbed the shower gel from the shelf and squeezed it into his hand. Afterthering the gel, he applied it to her delicate skin.
Although Mu Xiaoxiao had kept herst line of defense, she still felt exposed.
She was especially embarrassed upon feeling his scorching gaze.
She just wanted to end this ¡°torture¡± quickly.
¡°Come. Wash for me as well.¡± Yin Shaojie said in a husky voice, drawing her attention again. He put hisrge hand over her little hand, passed the foam to her, and ced her hand to his chest.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t avoid it, so she had no choice but to help wash him. Her little hands moved very quickly lest her imagination ran wild and thought of dirty stuff.
Yin Shaojie chuckled. ¡°My back too.¡±
His hands were moving too, but unlike her, he was enjoying the feeling of touching her because her skin was too smooth and tender just like the skin of a baby. The sensation felt so good that he was so absorbed in it.
His back?
Mu Xiaoxiao paused. Unwittingly, she tried to reach her hands behind him. But when she did that, her chest would press against his, and her ample bosom would then rub against his body.
Her body felt as if it was electrified. She trembled and felt fuzzy in her heart.
She immediately leaned back and distanced herself from him.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes grew dark as he stared at her little face, and he said huskily, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you continuing?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao blushed. ¡°You¡ Turn around.¡±
¡°Can¡¯t you just do it like just now?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice became even huskier. He started to fantasize some very naughty scenes like having her give him a rub with her body. As he fantasized, a certain part of him was started to ache. His gaze seemed very deep and scary, as if he were going to pounce on her and eat her up.
Fortunately, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t dare to look into his eyes. So she didn¡¯t realize how intense and scary his eyes were at the moment.
¡°No. Hurry up and turn around! Quick!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was getting anxious, and the tone of her voice unwittingly sounded harsher. Since her arms were short, she had to press herself onto him in order to reach behind him. And now that she was exposed, wouldn¡¯t she have to¡ she was simply too embarrassed to do it.
Hearing the tone of her voice, Yin Shaojie felt like he was seeing the Mu Xiaoxiao who didn¡¯t lose her memory.
He felt an aching feeling inside, a feeling that he could hardly describe.
He wondered if he were a masochist. Rather than having her being obedient to him, he seemed to prefer her ordering him around and being dominant toward him.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes grew dark. He reached out and hugged her, locking her tightly in his arms.
Mu Xiaoxiao was fully focused on the area where their chest were in contact. She hit him bashfully. ¡°Bastard, I knew you were doing this on purpose. Let me go!¡±
¡°I¡¯m not letting go.¡± He sounded as if he were choking on something.
His thin lips beside her ear, he was unable to restrain himself as he confessed. ¡°Xiaoxiao, we are the same. You¡¯re the only one that I want. You are the only one that I need.¡±
His words moved her so heavily and deeply.
Mu Xiaoxiao stopped hitting him. She couldn¡¯t help but wrap her arms around him and hug him tightly.

The bathroom was still filled with mist, and some faint moans could be heard from inside.
The water in the bathtub swayed gently.
In the water, two bodies were tangled up in each other.
Mu Xiaoxiao wasying at one end of the bathtub. Yin Shaojie was afraid that she might feel ufortable so he put his hand at the back of her head to shield her from the difort.
Coming at her was his intense, passionate kiss.
Mu Xiaoxiao tilted her head back as he kissed her and ced her soft hands on his waist
Yin Shaojie¡¯s other hand was in the water doing something, making waves on the water.
Initially, the bathtub was full of water, but a lot had spilled onto the floor.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s hand reached out, holding something small, and he threw it aside.
Mu Xiaoxiao was so embarrassed that her toes were curling up, especially when his hand went under the water again. She couldn¡¯t help but moan. Even though she was gritting her teeth, trying to endure it, she still couldn¡¯t stand his teasing.
Goodness gracious, what was he doing¡ Mu Xiaoxiao only felt like her brain was mush. She couldn¡¯t think anymore. All that she could sense was the movement of his hands.
She couldn¡¯t bear the intensity. She shouted for mercy and told him to stop, but Yin Shaojie refused to let her go and instead ventured deeper to explore her insides.
Yin Shaojie, who was typically talkative, didn¡¯t even say a word at the moment but only watched her little face with his deepened gaze.
He lowered his head and fervently kissed the corner of her mouth. Their breaths encircled each other. She could feel that his every breath was heavy and hot.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little hand gripped his arm, her fingers tensed up as if she were going to dig them into his arms.
As Yin Shaojie kissed her little mouth, his tongue entered and twisted around her little tongue, trying to divert her attention and keep her from being so tense.
The water in the bathtub overflowed again due to her struggling.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t take it anymore. Her voice became like a whimper, as though he had made her cry, as she told him to stop.
Just then, Yin Shaojie suddenly released her.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mind turned nk instantly as she stared at him in a daze.
Yin Shaojie stared at her soft, jelly-like lips, and his husky voice sounded as if he couldn¡¯t bear it any longer. ¡°We¡¯re done bathing. Let¡¯s go out then.¡±
Then, he carried her out of the bathtub.
Mu Xiaoxiao buried her face in his neck. She was embarrassed, afraid to look at him and even more afraid to see how she looked at that moment.
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. Although there was only a short distance from the bathroom to the bedroom, he was afraid that she would catch a cold and fall ill, so he thoughtfully took off his bath towel and wrapped her with it before carrying her out of the bathroom and to the bedroom.
He impatiently walked into the bedroom and pulled the door closed with his foot.
Walking up to the bed, immediately after cing her down onto the soft bed, his hot body pinned down over her sweet-smelling, tender body.
Immediately after, his kiss fell on her lips. He left a hot trail from her lips to her chest.
Mu Xiaoxiao was recovering her senses. Feeling the force in his kiss, she could tell just how intensely he wanted her at that moment.
Knowing what he was going to do next, her heart pounded madly. The two voices in her head were in conflict. Finally, the voice deep within her gained the upper hand.
The voice deep inside kept telling her to give herself to him, to not resist or reject him.
Her watery eyes looked down at him. Watching as he pleased her to help her rx, her heart grew soft.

Yin Shaojie kissed her body, reluctant to part from it.
His thin lips left many marks on her chest.
Finally, he could no longer restrain himself.
He looked up. His dark, scorching gaze was deeply locked onto her eyes, and he said in a husky, heavy voice, ¡°Xiaoxiao, I can¡¯t bear it anymore¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes were watery and red. Their eyes met, but she kept quiet. For a while, it was as if only the sound of hearts beating could be heard.
The two looked at each other. Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help but leaned closer to her and took her little mouth in his.
Mu Xiaoxiao wrapped little hands around his neck.
His hand carried a burning heat as it brushed past her body. It seemed to have lit fire in every part of her body, causing Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s body to burn up along with his.
The two were already entranced in their passions.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s forehead was covered in sweat as he waited patiently so that she would be able to adjust to the heat. If it wasn¡¯t for the shred of rationality left in him, he would have been quick to eat her up.
The corner of her eyes were red. She was bashful and nervous as she grabbed his arm, not daring to look at him.
¡°Xiaoxiao¡¡± he called her name in a husky voice. He was prepared to enter her.
¡°H-hubby¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao replied in a whimper.
Yin Shaojie froze.
He didn¡¯t know why, but he felt an aching at his chest.
Yin Shaojie looked up. With one hand, he held Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s cheek, his eyes locked on hers as he said huskily, ¡°Xiaoxiao, is that you¡¡±
She was clearly the person in his arms, but why did he feel¡
¡°Yes, it¡¯s me¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao replied softly, her face flushed as she saw light reflecting off his watery eyes.
However, she wasn¡¯t familiar with this kind of light from him.
He was clearly like a drawn arrow on a bowstring, but his eyes suddenly darkened. He turned over, got off her, and quickly walked out of the bedroom.
Lying on the bed, Mu Xiaoxiao watched in bewilderment as he left.
Bang! Yin Shaojie entered the bathroom.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stupefied. She pulled the nket and wrapped it around herself, staring at the door in a daze, feeling indignant but also dejected.
Why did he suddenly stop?
Did he not want her anymore?
After some time, Yin Shaojie finally came out with a towel wrapped around his waist. He went straight into the changing room upon entering the bedroom.
Shortly, he came out wearing pajamas and carrying another set of pajamas in his hand.
On the bed, Mu Xiaoxiao was curled up in a ball. The corner of her mouth drooped, and her eyes became misty.
¡°Sorry, I shouldn¡¯t have acted like that¡¡± Yin Shaojie apologized gently, kissed her on her forehead, and ced the pajamas next to her. ¡°Change into the pajamas.¡±
But Mu Xiaoxiao swung her arm and flung the pajamas away. She willfully pursed her lips. ¡°Go away.¡±
Yin Shaojie sighed and apologized again. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Don¡¯t be angry, alright? It¡¯s all my fault. I shouldn¡¯t have¡¡±
¡°I told you go away!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly howled at him.
She pulled up the nket and covered her head.
Yin Shaojie was stunned, realizing then that she had really gotten angry.
She had never shouted so loudly when they quarreled in the past.
In that instant, he was at a loss. He didn¡¯t know what else to do but to go down on his knee on the bed, motionless.
In that quiet atmosphere, sobs were heard.

Yin Shaojie opened his eyes. Outstretching his long arms, he lifted the nket. Feeling guilty and sorry, he said, ¡°Don¡¯t cry¡¡±
The thing he was most afraid of were her tears.
Mu Xiaoxiao wrapped the nket around her body and buried her face in the pillow, purposely refusing to look at him.
Flustered, Yin Shaojie held her up, forcing her to turn and look at him.
¡°Xiaoxiao, don¡¯t get angry, okay? I¡¯m the bastard. I shouldn¡¯t have made taken advantage of you losing your memory to do this to you¡¡±
He wanted so badly to give himself two ps in the face.
He was inhuman!
He had endured it for so long. Why couldn¡¯t he endure it for a couple more days?
Knowing that she had lost her memory, how could he want her at this time?
Yin Shaojie was very d that he had stopped just in time earlier. He couldn¡¯t imagine how he would be able to face Xiaoxiao when she recovered her memory.
Moreover, their first time should be a beautiful one.
With a tear-stained little face, Mu Xiaoxiao looked up, threw herself toward him, wrapping her arms around his neck.
She sobbed and said, ¡°I thought¡ you didn¡¯t want me¡¡±
It turned out he just didn¡¯t want to have her at this time when she had memory loss. After learning his true thoughts, she felt much better.
Yin Shaojie was unsure whether tough or cry. Hisrge hand touched her neck as he sighed and said, ¡°Are you a dummy? My body was going to explode, you know that? How can I possibly not want you.¡±
This wretch would probably never know how much he yearned for her.
Only the heavens knew the amount of restraint he needed to endure his desire for her.
He was already at the final step. It would be impossible for any other man to stop himself at such a time, but he had managed to restrain himself.
Because he loved her deeply, he knew that she would want their first time to be a beautiful one.
And that was what he wanted too. He wanted to give her a warm, beautiful first time.
So how could he want to have her at this time?
Yin Shaojie gazed deeply at Mu Xiaoxiao before him. Though she was still Mu Xiaoxiao, he clearly knew that she wasn¡¯t the Mu Xiaoxiao he wanted.
He wanted the Mu Xiaoxiao that had recovered her memory, the Mu Xiaoxiao who shared memories with him.
Although the Xiaoxiao who had lost her memory was very cute and fun when he teased her¡
They were different¡
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes darkened as he held Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face and kissed her on her forehead.
¡°Xiaoxiao, you must remember that you¡¯re the only one I want. There will never be a time where I won¡¯t want you.¡±
There was only one Mu Xiaoxiao in this world. How could he not want this unique Mu Xiaoxiao?
Mu Xiaoxiao ced her face on his neck and nodded, her hands tightly wrapped around his back.
Yin Shaojie looked down and could see her exposed back that was fair and as alluring as a jade carving, making it hard for him to look away from it.
Heughed mirthlessly, feeling the desire he had calmed with the cold water earlier returning again.
Dammit! This wretch was too tempting.
Just looking at her exposed body made his mind picture all of the positions he wanted to try with her.
¡°Okay, hurry up and change into these clothes. Stop testing my self-control again.¡± He pulled her up, picked up the nket, and wrapped her tightly with it. Seeing a little bit of her exposed, fair skin, he turned to get down from the bed, and prepared to go to the bathroom again.

It seemed that he was still far away from the days where he wouldn¡¯t need to take a cold shower.
But just as he was about to leave, she grabbed his arm.
¡°Don¡¯t go¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him with watery eyes.
Yin Shaojie turned back to look. She was wrapped in a nket, revealing her pretty shoulders and her slender ankles. Her fair, little hands were grabbing him tightly, showing her stubbornness.
¡°Xiaoxiao, don¡¯t torment me,¡± he said, pretending to look pitiful.
Mu Xiaoxiao bit her lip, blushing as she cast her gaze away from him and said softly, ¡°I can¡¡±
Thest part of her sentence was spoken in a very soft voice, but his hearing was very sharp.
Yin Shaojie stared nkly. He thought he had misheard.
¡°What did you say?¡±
Did he mishear?
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him, looking annoyed. Her little hand tugged at him and in an assertive manner, she said, ¡°Get over here!¡±
Upon hearing her order, Yin Shaojie felt like she saw the Xiaoxiao who had not lost her memories, and he went back to her obediently.
Mu Xiaoxiao told him to get onto the bed, and he did as he was told.
She said in her tiny voice, ¡°Even if¡ We can use other methods.¡±
Heaven only knew how much courage it took for her to say that.
Yin Shaojie looked at her with a deep gaze. He couldn¡¯t help but hold her cheeks, pull her closer toward him. He longingly kissed her the corner of her mouth.
¡°Silly girl.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that he didn¡¯t want that, and she became anxious and stuttered. ¡°I-I remembered something earlier. W-we d-did¡¡±
Before she could finish speaking, the tall figure pounced on her and pinned her to the bed.
¡°You remembered? Really?¡± he asked in a husky voice, eager and excited.
Mu Xiaoxiao said bashfully, ¡°A little¡¡±
She was too embarrassed to tell him that she recalled the scene when they were being intimate. Although it was only just a sh, she did remember a little.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s slender fingers touched her delicate face and slid down to her dainty chin, as if he were tracing out her delicate, beautiful facial features.
Mu Xiaoxiao batted her eyes as if she didn¡¯t understand what he was doing.
His movement was very light and slow. But Mu Xiaoxiao felt like ants were crawling wherever his fingers went, bringing about a fuzzy sensation.
¡°Hey, do you want to or not!¡± She suddenly said, pouting and patting him.
It was because his body was cold. Knowing that he had just taken a cold shower, she felt bad for him.
The weather was cold now, yet he still took a cold shower. She wondered if he might catch a cold.
Moreover¡ wasn¡¯t it unhealthy for the body?
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes darkened, and in a deep, husky voice, he said, ¡°I want it.¡±
He pinched her chin and his thin lips fell on her cheek.
Mu Xiaoxiao hugged him, their chests pressed tightly together. They could feel each other¡¯s heartbeats.
Badump, badump, badump¡
She thought that her heart was beating very quickly, but it turned out that his was even faster.
Their heartbeats seemed to have synchronized.
¡°T-then¡ I¡¯ll help you¡¡±
¡°No need.¡±
¡°But¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was anxious. Didn¡¯t she say that she would help him? Why was he going back on the agreement?
She thought that he didn¡¯t want her to help him anymore.

Was he going to wait till he was heated up and go take a cold shower to cool himself down again?
That wouldn¡¯t be healthy, right?
Yin Shaojie¡¯s lip curled slightly, his eyes showing a hint of naughtiness. His voice was sexy as he said, ¡°I want to try another method.¡±
Another method?
Mu Xiaoxiao was confused. She was slow and couldn¡¯t keep up with what he was thinking.
Then, Yin Shaojie started kissing her slowly.
His hands touched her everywhere.
Mu Xiaoxiao was enjoying the kiss, her thoughts put aside.
She simply allowed him to do as he pleased¡
However, Yin Shaojie¡¯s behavior was bing more and more brazen. He was making Mu Xiaoxiao go soft, almost turning her into a puddle of water beneath him.
Mu Xiaoxiao never knew that a person¡¯s hand could do so many incredible things. His hand was like magic, giving her a taste of what it was like to be lost in her senses.
She finally couldn¡¯t withstand the surging passions, shouting for him to stop, but he didn¡¯t. He said to her beside her ear, telling her to enjoy it. Then he sucked on her sensitive earlobe. .
Yin Shaojie suddenly made her change positions. Mu Xiaoxiaoid on the bed. Her mind was nk and had no idea what he was trying to do, but in a dazed state, she obediently went along with him.
He bit her earlobe and ordered her to close her legs in his deep, maic voice. Then he ced himself between her legs, his stiff member rubbing against her delicate inner thighs.
Mu Xiaoxiao recovered her senses. Finally, she realized what he meant by the other method. So that was what he meant¡
She buried her face in the pillow. Behind her was his hot body nestled up against her. His manly waist was moving very slowly at the start. Then, as though he couldn¡¯t restrain himself any longer, he lost control in the end. The smell of passion instantly filled the room.
¡
After the release, Yin Shaojie was breathing heavily. His strong arms wrapped around her thin waist. Turning himself over, heid down and let hery on his chest.
Mu Xiaoxiao leaned against his chest and could hear very clearly his heart beating like a drum.
Bump bump bump¡ she thought that it was the most pleasant sound that she had ever heard.
Though she wasn¡¯t the one who had expended lots of energy, Mu Xiaoxiao was also breathing a little heavily, her ck, bright eyes watery from the passionate session earlier.
As Yin Shaojie fiddled with her hair using his long fingers, he kissed her forehead intimately. Unlike the tender sentiments he showed in the past, this kiss was more of a stubborn, longing one.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and grumbled softly, ¡°I¡¯m dirty now. I gotta take a shower again¡¡±
Yin Shaojie chuckled, his chest shaking.
¡°Later, we¡¯ll go take a shower together,¡± he said in his deep, husky voice. His hands around her became restless again as they wandered about her shapely body. He got up, pinned her onto the bed, and suddenly sealed her little mouth with a kiss again.
His kiss was hot. Seeming as though he were going to eat her up, he sucked on her little tongue and didn¡¯t let go.
Mu Xiaoxiao could sense that his hands were up to their old antics again.
She immediately blushed and pushed his chest. ¡°I don¡¯t want it anymore.¡±
¡°I want it. Let¡¯s do it again.¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice was even more masculine than usual as he emanated a manly air about him so sexy it was messing her up.
Not allowing her to refuse him, he tasted her delicate skin with his sexy thin lips, kissed the roundness of her that he loved the most, leaving a wet mark on it.

Mu Xiaoxiao moaned and said with a whimper, ¡°No¡ I¡¯m tired.¡±
But how could the man who had gotten the sweet taste of her stop now?
In the end, Mu Xiaoxiao was tormented by him again, tired and drenched in sweat. She almost wanted to lie down and sleep, but her body was so sticky and ufortable that she couldn¡¯t sleep.
¡°Boohoo¡ I want to take a shower,¡± she muttered half-consciously.
A particr demon that was satiated carried her from the bed and into the bathroom.
Although he really wanted to do it again in the bathroom, she was going to fall asleep, so he had no choice but to let her off. They took a quick shower before he carried her back to the bedroom.
Mu Xiaoxiao was lying on the bed refreshed. She sighedfortably, her little head rubbing against the pillow as she shifted into afortable position before falling asleep.
Yin Shaojieid beside her, reached his arms around her waist, and pressed her back against his chest.
Two hearts beat together.
¡
¡°It hurts¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao sat on the toilet bowl. She looked down at her inner thighs and saw that her fair, tender skin had be a shocking red and seemed swollen.
Thinking about what happenedst night, her ears reddened too.
¡°Bastard,¡± she cursed under her breath. She was sulking as she touched the slightly red, swollen area. It still hurt.
Just then, there was knocking at the door.
Yin Shaojie said in an obviously delighted tone, ¡°You have been inside for quite awhile. What¡¯s the matter?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao red at the door. Isn¡¯t it all your fault!
She said gloomily, ¡°I¡¯m fine¡ Don¡¯t bother me and go buy breakfast.¡±
She had looked around the washroom earlier but she hadn¡¯t found anything she could use. Initially, she wanted to apply toothpaste to reduce the swelling, but the toothpaste was not cool enough.
There was knocking on the door again.
¡°Are you done? I want to use to the toilet,¡± Yin Shaojie said again.
Mu Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment. She slowly pulled up her pajama pants, but she still ended up grazing the reddened area. The numb, prickly pain felt so bad that her eyes stung.
She cursed him inwardly. Then, pretending as though every were fine, she opened the door.
¡°Okay, you can use it now.¡±
Just as she was about to walk past him, the demon suddenly grabbed her unexpectedly, pinning her against the door frame. His elegant face came up to her, ck, ink-like eyes narrowed as he gave her a scrutinizing stare. ¡°You seem odd.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao snorted and pushed him. ¡°I¡¯m not gonna be bothered with you!¡±
Yin Shaojie lips curled up. ¡°Why don¡¯t you want to be bothered with me? You enjoyed itst night. When I touched you down there¡¡±
¡°Hey!!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was embarrassed, anxiously shouting at him so that he would not finish his sentence.
Yin Shaojie once again felt that he really was a masochist. Upon hearing her shouting at him, he actually liked it so much and felt happy.
¡°Okay. Tell me then. Where did I do badlyst night? I can improve.¡±
Red-faced, Mu Xiaoxiao red at him, ¡°That¡¯s not necessary!¡±
What¡¯s the point of improving? Wouldn¡¯t all the methods be used on her in the end?
She felt so regretful. Why did she have to go soft and agree to help him solve his problem?
Yin Shaojieughed naughtily, ¡°Does that mean that you are very satisfied with my performance?¡±
¡°No!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t bear to hear him talk anymore.
Shameless bastard. How could he discuss such a shameful topic so openly?

Reminded of his ¡°bad deeds,¡± she cursed him inwardly again.
¡°Aren¡¯t you in a hurry? Go!¡± She pushed him inside and escaped from his evil clutches.
The door to the washroom closed.
Mu Xiaoxiao then crept into the living room to find the medicine box.
Perhaps it was because she still had some of her memory or because she was lucky, she managed to find the medicine box. Searching around, she just happened to find an anti-inmmatory cream.
This will work, right?
Screw it.
I¡¯ll just apply it!
She ran into the bedroom, wanting to use the cream while he was not around to quickly apply it for her.
Sitting on the sofa, she then realized that it wasn¡¯t very convenient to apply the medicine while wearing pajamas. She had to take them off before she could apply the medicine, but she didn¡¯t have time to change.
She had no choice but to squeeze the cream onto her hand, reach into her pajama pants, and feel her way while applying it.
Yin Shaojie entered the room, seeing her, his eyes couldn¡¯t help but narrow.
¡°What are you doing?
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled from the sound of his voice. She looked up, saw him, and panicked. ¡°W-why are you so fast?¡±
¡°What are you doing so sneakily behind my back?¡± Yin Shaojie strode toward her with his long legs, staring at her suspiciously.
¡°N-nothing!¡± She was in such a panic that she only remembered to take her hand out at that moment.
Goodness gracious!
Did he catch her with her hands in her pants?
He didn¡¯t know she was applying medicine. Would he think that she was¡
Mu Xiaoxiao flushed red. She just wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it.
¡°Don¡¯t get the wrong idea! I¡¯m not doing anything!¡±
She was totally the guilty person conspicuously protesting her innocence.
Yin Shaojie was of course not dumb. He nced at the medicine cream on the coffee table and realized what she was doing.
¡°Let me see,¡± he said as he walked up to her.
¡°Ah?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shrank back and instinctively wanted to escape.
But the escaping kitten was grabbed by the big bad wolf and brought into his arms.
¡°Be good. Let me see it,¡± he coaxed her.
Embarrassed, Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°No, I¡¯m really fine¡¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes narrowed. His voice grew deep and menacing. ¡°It seems like you want me to use force?¡±
¡°You, you dare!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao puffed up her cheeks, retorting him in the same threatening manner.
Yin Shaojieughed mischievously, ¡°I certainly do¡¡±
His hands attacked the unguarded sides of her waist, tickling her.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned to jelly and was pinned down onto the sofa.
¡°Haha, stop it¡ It tickles! Knock it off! Ah, it hurts!¡±
She couldn¡¯t stand the tickling, and her legs shook. The chafing was affecting the swollen, red area again.
Seeing her frowning from the pain, Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help but worry. ¡°Is it very bad?¡±
He stopped teasing her, quickly held her down, and slowly pulled down her pajama pants with one hand.
Seeing that she couldn¡¯t hide any longer, she hit her head in a huff. ¡°It¡¯s all your fault!¡±
Yin Shaojie looked down and was stunned. He didn¡¯t expect it would turn out like this. There was a big patch of red between her legs. The contrast against her white skin made it quite shocking.
¡°Is it bad?¡± he asked worriedly, feeling very guilty. The yful expression vanished from his elegant face.
He felt so bad for her, bending down to kiss her in that spot.
¡°Stop¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao blushed.

Yin Shaojie gently stroked the area with his fingertip and asked worriedly, ¡°Is this painful?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to shake her head, but on second thought, she nodded honestly. ¡°There¡¯s a bit of a prickly pain¡¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned. He looked down seriously and quickly realized that her skin was too soft, plus he was a bit roughst night. Maybe he had been too rough
He felt a twinge of guilt. He held up her little hand and kissed it. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s my fault. I¡¯ll help you apply it.¡±
¡°No need¡ I can apply it myself.¡± Hearing that he wanted to apply the medicine, Mu Xiaoxiao tried to get up.
¡°No getting up.¡± Yin Shaojie said bossily as he pressed her down, preventing her from getting up.
¡°Be good and lie down. I¡¯ll go get another medicine. This anti-inmmatory medicine is not very good. Don¡¯t run away, do you hear me?¡± Watching as she tried to use the chance to get up again, Yin Shaojie shot her a re, grabbed a pillow, and put it in her arms.
He then walked away from the sofa and entered the room.
Hugging the pillow, Mu Xiaoxiao covered her panties with the pillow. Her face was all red, but she didn¡¯t dare to disobey him.
The look that he gave her before he left was quite threatening. It was as if he would take extreme measures if she didn¡¯t cooperate.
Mulling over it, she decided to obey him lest he seized the opportunity to show his skills.
In less than a minute, Yin Shaojie came out of the room with another small box of cream.
¡°This is better,¡± he said, sitting on the edge of the sofa, letting her sit farther inside.
Mu Xiaoxiao saw that the small box seemed ordinary. There was no name orbel. She couldn¡¯t tell which brand it came from.
He unscrewed the lid. And for a moment, a fresh, pleasant smell wafted into her nose.
¡°This smells good.¡± She asked curiously, ¡°What is this cream? It smells like¡ grass?¡±
Yin Shaojie chuckled and said, ¡°This is what a friend of mine made. You can¡¯t buy it anywhere. It doesn¡¯t have a name but it works very well. If there is a bruise, it will quickly be reduce the swelling.¡±
¡°It¡¯s that good?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, holding out her little hand. Looking at him as she pouted, she said, ¡°Give it to me. I¡¯ll apply it myself.¡±
It wasn¡¯t like she couldn¡¯t reach it. Why should he apply it for her?
Applying cream shouldn¡¯t be a big deal, but she was hurt in that area¡ It was too shameful. How could she let him apply the cream for her?
Yin Shaojie pushed her little hand, his eyebrows raised as he said, ¡°Who am I? I¡¯m your hubby. It¡¯s only right that I apply the medicine for you. You can¡¯t deprive me of my right. Do you understand?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
There was a right for this kind of thing?
It was her body. When did it be his right?
Yin Shaojie reached out to grab the pillow she was using to cover herself. He smirked and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be shy. I saw itst night. I touched it, and I even kissed¡¡±
¡°Stop! Stop!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao hit him with another pillow, embarrassed.
It was daytime now. With such a good lighting, how was it the same?
However, her objection was useless, and she had no choice but to let him apply the medicine.

Yin Shaojie took out something else from the medicine box. It was a spray, and he sprayed it onto the red, swollen area.
Tch! Mu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth.
¡°Pain?¡± he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and hugged the pillow awkwardly below her nose as she said softly, ¡°It¡¯s not pain. It¡¯s a cooling feeling¡¡±
¡°Yeah. This is for pain relief so that when I apply the medicine, you won¡¯t feel that it¡¯s very painful. Okay, I¡¯m going to apply the medicine. Be good and don¡¯t move about.¡± He exined as he put the cream onto his hand. Then, with his long fingers, he carefully applied the medicine for her.
Mu Xiaoxiao simply didn¡¯t know what to do with him, so she had no choice but to endure it.
However, just like he said, when he applied the medicine, it really didn¡¯t hurt. It only felt a little numb.
After ten minutes, Mu Xiaoxiao was getting a little impatient. ¡°Are you done?¡±
Wasn¡¯t this taking a bit too long?
Was his finger not tired?
¡°That¡¯s how you use this medicine. You have to slowly massage it and let the medicine be absorbed. This way, it¡¯ll get better faster. Bear with it for a little longer,¡± Yin Shaojie said as he very patiently continued to apply the medicine for her.
Mu Xiaoxiao initially felt that there was a burning sensation. She wondered if it was the medicine taking effect. It feltfortable. As shey there, she almost fell asleep.
Yin Shaojie finally was done applying the medicine. He looked up and saw her in a daze.
He chuckled. Putting the medicine cream back onto the coffee table, his elegant face went up to her as lightly caressed her lips.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyelids lifted, and she looked at him in a dazed state.
¡°Jie¡¡±
Hearing her calling him, his body jolted. He eagerly grabbed her shoulder and asked, ¡°What did you call me?¡±
Was she regaining her memory?
When her memory was lost, she never called him in that.
Yin Shaojie jaw tightened as he stared at her little face eagerly. He shook her again and said, ¡°Xiaoxiao, wake up. Can you call me again?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes blinked drowsily, and she muttered in a hoarse voice. ¡°Jie¡ I¡¯m thirsty. I want to drink water¡¡±
With that said, she rolled over andid on her side, hugging a pillow in her arms and between her legs.
This was her usual habit. She liked to hug things when she slept.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s heart trembled. ¡°You¡¯re thirsty? I¡¯ll go get some water for you. Wait here.¡±
He thought as he walked. Was the blood clot in her brain slowly going away?
He got a little excited just thinking about it, quickly poured some water, and went back to her.
¡°Here. Drink some water,¡± he said, wanting to help her up.
But Mu Xiaoxiao closed her eyes again, her face rubbing against the sofa.
The morning sun rays were bright and pleasant. Moreover, she had been tormented by himst night and was very tired. She was forced to wake up because of the difort at her inner thigh. Now that she wasn¡¯t hurting anymore, fatigue came over her, so she wanted to continue sleeping.
As he watched her, he felt as though he didn¡¯t know what to do with her, yet he still longed for her to call him ¡°Joe¡± again. Pondering for a moment, he then brought the cup to his lips, took a sip of water, lowered his head, and put his lips on her little mouth.
Their lips fit tightly together, and he passed the water to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao almost choked. Her throat moved up and down as she reflexively swallowed the water.
After drinking the water, her eyes opened slightly and looked at him again.

Yin Shaojie touched her forehead.
¡°Xiaoxiao, call me that again, alright?¡± he coaxed her.
Mu Xiaoxiao batted her eyes in a daze as though she didn¡¯t understand what he was saying.
She opened her eyes to look at him and called out, ¡°Hubby?¡±
It wasn¡¯t what he wanted to hear. Yin Shaojie¡¯s spirit fell.
It seemed like she hadn¡¯t fully regained her memory. Perhaps it was only her habitual response when she was in a dazed state?
Mu Xiaoxiao noticed hisck of spirits. She sat up, looked into his eyes, and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±
Why did it feel as though he didn¡¯t like her calling him that?
He was clearly the one who told her that was the way she usually called him.
Could there be a problem?
¡°Nothing.¡± Yin Shaojie forced a smile. He reached out to stroke her hair and said, ¡°Okay, go brush your teeth and wash your face. The breakfast should be here soon.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes were still doubtful. But seeing as he didn¡¯t seem to want to continue talking about this topic, she didn¡¯t ask him further.
However, the more he tried to evade the issue, the more worried she felt.
What happened just now?
Just then, the doorbell rang. Yin Shaojie said that the breakfast was here and he went to open the door.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa, staring into space, thinking about something.
¡°The breakfast is here. Have you brushed your teeth and washed your face?¡± he asked her as he stood at the entrance.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°No, I¡¯m going now.¡±
In the washroom.
Facing the mirror, she brushed her teeth and stared at herself. She unconsciously reached out her hand to touch the mirror.
For some reason, she heard his voice in her head, a deep, husky voice saying, ¡°Xiaoxiao, is that you¡¡±
Caught off guard, she felt a jolt in her heart.
Bewildered, she stared at herself in the mirror and muttered, ¡°Am I not Xiaoxiao?¡±
Otherwise, why would he ask her that?
¡
When Mu Xiaoxiao came out of the washroom, she saw Yin Shaojie talking over the phone. Noticing that she wasing, he waved at her.
She went up to the seat in front of him and sat down. He pushed a bowl of porridge to her and motioned for her to eat.
¡°I¡¯ll be there. Later.¡± Yin Shaojie hung up the call.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up at him, and she asked anxiously, ¡°Where are you going?¡±
Was he going to leave her alone at home?
She became gloomy at the thought of that.
¡°I¡¯m going to school,¡± he replied and told her to eat quickly.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. She ate sluggishly and seemed listless.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± he asked her upon noticing how she was acting.
Mu Xiaoxiao snorted. ¡°Are you going to leave me alone at home? If you¡¯re going out, I¡¯ll go out too.¡±
Yin Shaojie chuckled. ¡°When did I say that I¡¯m going to leave you behind? I¡¯m going to school. Of course you¡¯reing too.¡±
Now that she had lost her memory, she would never let him leave her side.
Mu Xiaoxiao was happy upon hearing that. It turned out that he didn¡¯t want to leave her behind.
Yin Shaojie exined, ¡°I didn¡¯t want to go at first, but there is something I have to personally deal with, so I have to go. If you don¡¯t like it, then I¡¯lle get you after I¡¯m done settling the business.¡±
¡°No! I want to go out,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, shaking her head. Her eyes were lit as she smiled gleefully.

¡°Hm?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao thought he was acting a little weird. Why was he staring into her eyes unblinkingly? She held out a hand and waved it in front of his face. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you frozen?¡±
¡°AH!¡± he shouted at her suddenly, shocking her.
¡°You¡¯re so bad!¡± A huffy Mu Xiaoxiao reached out to hit him, but she couldn¡¯t reach him because of the table¡¯s width.
Yin Shaojieughed. ¡°Alright, hurry up and eat. It¡¯s time for us to get out of the house.¡±
Afraid that he wouldn¡¯t bring her along, Mu Xiaoxiao ate hurriedly.
¡°Don¡¯t choke,¡± Yin Shaojie said. Just as his voice died, Mu Xiaoxiao choked on the water she had been drinking. She looked up at him and said, ¡°You jinx.¡±
¡°You¡¯re ming me?¡± He didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry.
Finally, the pair finished their breakfast and got out. Actually, it was quitete already, past the time for ss.
Seeing that it was Yin Shaojie¡¯s car, the guard in school let them pass through.
Mu Xiaoxiao gazed at the pretty and gorgeous school. It neither felt strange nor familiar.
¡°Do you remember anything?¡± Yin Shaojie looked towards her and asked as he parked his car in a parking spot.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused and her gaze turned dull.
She didn¡¯t answer, but only looked around at her surroundings as though trying to find something that was familiar to her.
However, there were none. She had no recollection of anything at all.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Yin Shaojie thought she looked a little weird.
¡°Nothing.¡± She shook her head, her tone gloomy.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t believe her, of course. He ced one hand on the steering wheel and turned to look at her. In a soft voice, he said, ¡°Turn around and let me look at you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t move.
Yin Shaojie remembered what had happenedst night, and though that she might be trying to be difficult again.
¡°Are you thinking nonsense again?¡± he asked, sighing.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused for two seconds before she turned her head and met his inky dark eyes.
His eyes were deep and mesmerizing. She looked at him, and it gave her the feeling of being pulled into them.
¡°Are you¡ very anxious for me to regain my memory?¡± she asked, her face looking a little perplexed and gloomy.
Yin Shaojie reached out and sped her little hand in his, wrapping it in his big ones.
¡°Of course,¡± he answered unhesitatingly.
He looked into her eyes and asked in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t you want to regain your memory?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head, but there was aplicated emotion in her gaze. ¡°No¡ I¡¯m just thinking¡ What if I¡¯m not me¡ What would you do¡¡±
She was a little confused herself, and her speech was disorderly.
¡°What do you mean?¡± You aren¡¯t you?¡± Yin Shaojie asked uprehendingly. Even though he understood her words, he didn¡¯t understand what she meant.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused before looking at him and saying, ¡°Last night¡ Didn¡¯t you ask me if I was Xiaoxiao? Are you suspecting that I¡¯m not Xiaoxiao?¡±
However, if she wasn¡¯t Xiaoxiao, then who was she?
Upon thinking of this, her nk mind started to be fric.
He had told her that she was Mu Xiaoxiao, his fianc¨¦e, from the moment she woke up.
If she wasn¡¯t Mu Xiaoxiao, then who was she?
Yin Shaojie paused and remember what he had said. However, he didn¡¯t mean it that way.
He pulled her over so that the both of them were closer.
¡°Actually¡ those words don¡¯t mean what you think they mean¡¡± He thought for a while, trying to think of how to word his thoughts to her.

¡°What do they mean then?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked, grabbing onto his shirt.
Her little face looked tense.
She was really scared. What if she wasn¡¯t his Mu Xiaoxiao?
Yin Shaojie reached out to touch her cheek, as though he knew what she was afraid and worried about. He chuckled. ¡°Foolish girl. How can you not be you? You¡¯re yourself, of course. You¡¯ve only lost your memory.¡±
¡°But¡¡± She wanted to say that there were other possibilities. She couldn¡¯t even remember whether she was Mu Xiaoxiao. How could he be sure that she was Mu Xiaoxiao?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mind started to imagine nonsense again identally, and it got more absurd the more she thought.
Yin Shaojie knocked a curled index finger on her skull. ¡°There are no buts.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao touched the ce where he had knocked and pouted as she looked at him. ¡°But how are you so sure that I¡¯m Mu Xiaoxiao?¡±
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help butugh.
He reached out, and cupping her exquisite face in his hands, stared into her eyes earnestly.
¡°Foolish girl! How can I mistake my girl for someone else?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to have been frozen as she looked back into his inky dark eyes.
This pair of dark eyes looked as dazzling as the stars in the sky, but also looked like a ck hole that could suck someone¡¯s soul away.
Her nose twinged mysteriously.
¡°But¡ I¡¯ve lost my memory. What if I don¡¯t regain my memory and can¡¯t remember what happened in the past? I won¡¯t know what we have experienced in the past. I don¡¯t want that to happen.¡±
Yin Shaojieughed, and squished her soft cheeks into a weird shape mischievously.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. ¡°I¡¯m being serious here!¡±
¡°I was worried about this at the start too, but rx, you will remember. I promise.¡± He would help her regain her memory even if he exhausted all methods.
He wouldn¡¯t let her forget more than a decade¡¯s worth of memories together.
¡°You promise?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was, however, a little worried at his assuredness. ¡°What¡ What if I can¡¯t remember anything? Will you¡¡±
His attitude seemed to show that he was very concerned whether she had remembered anything. What if she just couldn¡¯t remember? Then, their rtionship¡
¡°Silly girl, stop thinking. There are no buts, got it?¡± Yin Shaojie shook her little face from left to right, as though he was trying to shake the bad thoughts from her little head out.
However, the more he insisted, the more anxious she got.
¡°Stop shaking me. I¡¯m going to faint.¡± Finally, she couldn¡¯t take it anymore and pushed his hands away.
Yin Shaojieughed as he reached over to unbuckle her seat belt for her. ¡°Alright, we should get out of the car now. If we don¡¯t, the Student Union bunch will call to hurry us.¡±
¡°Student Union? You were talking about the Student Union when you mentioned settling things?¡±
¡°Yeah. Isn¡¯t it November now? There are a lot of activities in December that need my attention.¡±
Speaking of December, her birthday wasing up soon as well.
Yin Shaojie looked at her face, a little worried about whether she could regain her memory before her birthday.
Her seventeenth birthday would be the first birthday that they celebrated together as a couple, so he wanted to give her an unforgettable experience.
She would be eighteen the next year¡
Yin Shaojie smirked. By then, he wouldn¡¯t need to n anything. His mother would probably urge them to get married, right?

He got out of the car and walked to the passenger side. Holding her hand, he brought her to the Student Union building.
¡°Don¡¯t you need to go to ss? Don¡¯t I need to go to ss?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao voiced her questions on the way there.
¡°Don¡¯t you like to skip ss? This is just what you like.¡±
Yin Shaojie teased her.
¡°Since when do I do that? I think I¡¯m an excellent student who never ys truant. Are my grades good? Am I an academic genius?¡±
¡°Academic genius? You¡¯re thinking too much! Look like your memory loss is a good thing. Because of it you can proim yourself an academic genius shamelessly.¡±
¡°Hey!¡±
¡°This is the truth! Why are you hitting me?¡±
¡°I just want to!¡±
The pair talked and bantered merrily as they walked to the Student Union building.
Upon their entrance, the people who looked over were shocked.
Was this guy who was bantering with a girl with a childish grin on his face Yin Shaojie? Was he really the Yin Shaojie they knew?
Yin Shaojie swept a nce across them. ¡°Isn¡¯t there supposed to be a meeting now? Why are you all sitting downstairs?¡±
The bunch of people regained their senses and hurried upstairs.
¡°Young Master Jie, we are about to go up.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao tugged at his hand as she moved her little face by his ear and asked, ¡°If you¡¯re going to a meeting, what should I do?¡±
¡°You¡¯reing in too. I¡¯ll make a special exception for you and let you listen in.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t wanna! Meetings are too boring.¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned. He didn¡¯t want her to leave his sight. ¡°No way, I¡¯ll be worried if you¡¯re left on your own.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. ¡°But I don¡¯t want to watch your meeting. I¡¯ll be bored to death.¡±
Yin Shaojie thought for a while. ¡°How about this. Come with me.¡±
Luckily, they were a school for the wealthy and elite. Not only was their meeting room big, there was an adjoining room too.
Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao stayed in the adjoining room while the Student Union had their meeting outside.
Afraid that she would be bored, Yin Shaojie even gave her an iPad.
When the meeting was in session, Yin Shaojie would nce at her intermittently while talking to the Student Union body.
The people who were there were a little dumbfounded.
In the middle of the meeting, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt thirsty. She remembered that there was a fridge when they went to his office earlier. There should be some delicious food there, right?
The image of ice cream materialized above her head, causing her to salivate.
She took a look at the people outside. She thought for a while before walking over furtively, whispering, ¡°you can¡¯t see me, you can¡¯t see me¡±, pretending as if she didn¡¯t exist as she tried to slip past behind Yin Shaojie.
Unexpectedly, he seemed to have eyes on his back, for he found her out.
¡°Where are you going?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s tone changed as he stopped what he was saying mid-sentence and turned to look at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused and pointed outside awkwardly. She confessed honestly, ¡°I wanted to go to your office to see if there¡¯s any food.¡±
¡°Meeting adjourned for two minutes,¡± Yin Shaojie told the crowd as he stood up, took her little hand, and left the office.
The Student Union members looked at each other, their faces the picture of dumbfoundedness.
He really brought back his ¡°little kid¡± in two minutes like he had said.
The meeting continued.
However, after a while, a crunching noisee from the adjoining room. It was the sound of chips being eaten.
The people at the meeting couldn¡¯t help but swallow their saliva.
Sweeping a nce across them, Yin Shaojie smirked. He called out to Mu Xiaoxiao inside and said, ¡°Give me some. I want to have some too.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused before agreeing. She walked over and held up a chip for him.
He ate it from her hand.
The crowd was speechless.
Dogs shouldn¡¯t be abused like this!
Chapter 1015 - If He Loves You (1)
Chapter 1015: If He Loves You (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
It was one thing for Great Master Yin to eat the chip, but another thing to lick the crumbs off Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s finger.
The pair looked at each other and Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s exquisite face reddened.
These people were outrightly flirting as though there was no one else around them!
The crowd was speechless.
No, they were really going to call the police!
Yin Shaojie turned around and swept a nce at them. ¡°Continue. Why are you looking at me nkly?¡±
¡°¡¡± The crowd wanted to cry but had no tears. Do you think we want to be abused by you?!
It was only then that Mu Xiaoxiao realized everyone¡¯s gazes were a little awkward and suggestive. She retracted her finger quickly andughed dryly. ¡°Sorry for disturbing you. Please continue.¡±
She retreated into the adjoining room. To avoid their gazes, she walked over to the balcony and pretended to admire the view.
It was because of this that she chanced upon a weird scene.
¡°Eh!¡± Her eyes widened suddenly as she pointed to outside the window and eximed, ¡°T-There! It looks like someone is going to jump?¡±
She dropped everything and rushed out of the room, past the meeting room, and ran outside.
¡°Xiaoxiao? What¡¯s wrong?¡± Yin Shaojie frowned as he got up and followed her hurriedly.
The crowd left behind looked at each other.
¡°What did Mu Xiaoxiao shout just now?¡±
¡°I think I heard her say that someone wanted to jump from a building? Right? I didn¡¯t hear wrongly, right?¡±
¡°What? Someone is going to jump?¡±
These words stirred up all the people in the room. A bunch of them ran into the next room, wanting to see what Mu Xiaoxiao had seen.
¡°Eh! There! There¡¯s a girl sitting on the roof. Is she really going to jump?¡±
¡°Are you spouting nonsense? Her legs are over the edge. Do you really think she¡¯s just admiring the view? Hurry up and go save her!¡±
Even though Shangde was a prestigious school for the wealthy and elite, it would still be very troublesome if someone lost their life here, for it would tarnish the school¡¯s reputation.
Also, this concerned a human life. No one wanted to see such a thing happen at their own school.
A bunch of people ran out hastily.
Meanwhile.
This was Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s first time running so fast. Yin Shaojie¡¯s long legs weren¡¯t able to catch up to her before she reached the building. It was only when she entered the lift hurriedly that Yin Shaojie caught up with her. Blocking the lift door with his hand, he entered the lift as well.
Yin Shaojie had heard what she had shouted as well. Even though he didn¡¯t know what was going on, it looked like an emergency by her anxious expression.
He reached out to hold her little hand andforted her. ¡°It¡¯s going to be alright.¡±
¡°I hope so¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. She was extremely anxious, wondering why this lift was so slow.
Finally, when they reached the top floor, the pair went up to the roof together.
The roof was really big and Mu Xiaoxiao only found the girl after searching the entire area.
She was about to rush over instinctively when she paused. Reaching out, she seized Yin Shaojie and shook her head at him. Whispering, she said, ¡°Hide yourself and don¡¯t let her see you. I¡¯ll talk to her first.¡±
Yin Shaojie thought for a while and agreed. Holding her hand, he urged, ¡°Be careful and don¡¯t push too much. Got it?¡±
He hid behind a wall, but his eyes never left her figure.
Mu Xiaoxiao calmed herself down before she walked over slowly.
¡°H-Hello.¡± She couldn¡¯t think of what to say at that moment, and so blurted this out.
The girl started violently, shocked that someone had appeared.
Chapter 1016 - If He Loves You (2)

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
She turned around to look and was shocked. She eximed, ¡°You¡¯re¡ Mu Xiaoxiao?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao made a noise of surprise. ¡°You know me? Are we friends?¡±
Perhaps it was because she felt that Mu Xiaoxiao was acting a little weird, because the girl wasn¡¯t wary of her, but instead said, deeply suspicious, ¡°You¡¯re so popr in school, so it¡¯s natural for me to know you. You wouldn¡¯t know me, of course. I¡¯m different from you¡ª I¡¯m only a nameless nobody.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao gave her a friendly smile, her face innocent as she moved closer to her gradually. ¡°Sorry, I lost my memory recently.¡±
¡°You lost your memory?¡± As expected, these words attracted the attention of the girl and prevented her from noticing that Mu Xiaoxiao was nearing her.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°Yeah. I¡¯m not lying to you.¡±
The girl saw the light. ¡°No wonder¡ You and Young Master Jie haven¡¯t been appearing in school because you lost your memory?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t remember this either. I only lost my memory two days ago. When I woke up, I realized that I couldn¡¯t remember anything at all. My mind was nk.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao walked to her side and rested her hand on the railing.
¡°Memory loss¡ It would be great if I had memory loss,¡± the girl sighed, her eyes deep with sorrow.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused for a while before she came up with a n. She asked, ¡°C-Can you chat with me? It seems a little dangerous for you to be sitting up there. Can youe down first?¡±
The girl paused, her gaze dimming. ¡°Actually, you¡¯ve already guessed, right? I want to jump down.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t expect her to admit it and came up with a im. ¡°I wanted toe up here to enjoy the breeze, and I didn¡¯t expect to see you here. D-Do you have something that¡¯s bothering you? You can tell me. I was wanting some conversation anyway.¡±
The girl¡¯s eyes were red. Looking down, she touched her abdomen. In a choked voice, she said, ¡°I¡ don¡¯t know what to do. I was thinking that if living is so painful, I should just die.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao observed her beforeing to a realization. ¡°You¡¯re¡ pregnant? Did the father of the child break your heart?¡±
The girl didn¡¯t speak, but her tears dripped down incessantly.
Mu Xiaoxiao searched herself but realized that she didn¡¯t have tissue. She felt at a loss of what to do.
¡°Sorry¡ I don¡¯t have any tissues on me,¡± she said apologetically.
The girl shook her head and cried louder at the top of her lungs.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t help but ache for her as she listened to her cries.
¡°At first, at first¡¡± the girl stuttered as she sobbed, ¡°I didn¡¯t want to jump¡ I-I only wanted to scare him so that he would take responsibility. I¡¯m a fool, I¡¯m such a fool. Why am I so foolish?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was really afraid that she would jump down as she cried, and so ced her hands on her back protectively.
The girl continued to cry as she said, ¡°I called him but he wouldn¡¯t pick up. I sent him messages and he read them but didn¡¯t reply¡ How can he be so heartless? His expression changed when I told him I was pregnant, and he started to avoid me since then¡ Yesterday, I saw him together with another girl¡ Does he not want me anymore?¡±
Thest question was directed to Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little angry upon listening to her. This man was scum!

She said, ¡°Why are you still thinking of whether he wants you or not? You should be thinking if you should keep him or not instead!¡±
The girl wiped her tears, her gaze sad and sorrowful, but shook her head. ¡°But¡ But¡ I can¡¯t let him go. I love him so much¡ I don¡¯t want to break up with him. H-He promised that he would only love me forever. Why, why did he change so quickly?¡±
She turned to Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, ¡°Is it because I¡¯m pregnant? Because he isn¡¯t ready to be a father? Do you think so? Also with regards to that girl¡ª there are a lot of people who like him. I know that. He¡¯d rejected a lot of confessions from girls when he was with me, so it can¡¯t be that he¡¯s had a change of heart. It must be because that girl is pestering him, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s expression froze. She thought that the girl was being silly, but after thinking for a while, she nodded. ¡°Yeah, it must be so! Give him a bit of time. If he really loves you, he¡¯ll think it through clearly.¡±
The girlughed destely. ¡°Don¡¯t lie to me¡ I know that he¡¯s had a change of heart and doesn¡¯t want me anymore. I was trying to lie to myself by thinking like that, but I just can¡¯t.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her, her gaze heavy. ¡°Why are you doing something as foolish as wanting to jump down from a building if you already understand this? You know that he¡¯s not worth it.¡±
Perhaps she touched a sore point in the girl¡¯s sadness, for she started to cry again.
¡°I don¡¯t know what else to do¡ I wanted to abort the baby initially, but the doctor told me¡ there¡¯s a problem with my womb. If I undergo the operation, there is a possibility that I won¡¯t be able to have children in the future, and it would be life-threatening too¡¡±
¡°What do you think I should do? Give birth to him? But my mom and dad¡¡±
¡°No, I can¡¯t give birth to him. How am I supposed to raise him if I give birth to him? I¡¯m still a student. My life in the future¡ I don¡¯t dare to imagine it. I¡¯m so scared. I think I have lost hope in living. Is there a meaning to living so miserably? That¡¯s not the kind of life I want!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart ached for the girl as she listened to her cry.
How was a high school student supposed to raise a child without a lover or parents to rely on? This was a cruel and real problem.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s throat felt choked up. She didn¡¯t know how tofort her, and could only say in a soft voice, ¡°Don¡¯t cry¡ No one knows what will happen in the future. It might be different from what youimagined.¡±
The girl shook her head. ¡°No¡ Miracles don¡¯t happen often. I am very aware of how cruel society is.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao observed her clothing and understood that she didn¡¯te from a wealthy background. She could have entered Shangde through her academics.
However, not every student who entered the school could receive arge amount of money through schrship like Lu Yichen. Some of them still had to pay for their own school fees, which created a lot of pressure for non-wealthy families.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know how to respond to this.
The two of them became silent, and the atmosphere was a little down.
The members of the Student Union had already arrived by the door, but were blocked by Yin Shaojie, who gestured for them to keep silent.
Suddenly, the girl turned to look at Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°You¡¯ve probably done it with Young Master Jie already, right?¡±
Upon hearing this, the members of the Student Union turned their gazes towards Yin Shaojie.

Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze was frosty as it swept across them.
The members of the Student Union then averted their nces hurriedly.
However, every one of their ears stood up on end like an antenna, waiting for Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s reply.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t expect the girls to ask this suddenly and paused. ¡°Ah? This¡¡±
She couldn¡¯t help but think about what had happened the previous night.
She couldn¡¯t help but to ask the girl, ¡°If a guy doesn¡¯t want to have you, does it mean that he doesn¡¯t love you?¡±
The girl asked, puzzled, ¡°You haven¡¯t¡ done it with Young Master Jie?¡±
¡°No¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s expression was a little troubled and disappointed. ¡°He suddenly¡ stopped at thest minute.¡±
By the door, the heads of the Student Union members whipped to look at Yin Shaojie again, their eyes wide.
He stopped at thest minute?
Was his self control that strong or was it that¡ he couldn¡¯t get it up?
The girl sighed. She said enviously to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°This means that he really, really loves you! He didn¡¯t do it because he cherishes you. Men are all creatures controlled by their lower half. They won¡¯t stop once they get onto the bed. Mu Xiaoxiao, it¡¯s no wonder that the entire school is jealous and envious of you.¡±
Anyone would feel jealous and envious if they were the subject of such a perfect man¡¯s love.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked a little embarrassed. ¡°Is that so¡¡±
The girl¡¯s lips turned down in self-pity as she said scornfully, ¡°Which guy nowadays won¡¯t try to coax a girl to let him bed her? They¡¯ll hold you and tell you that they¡¯ll go slow and not enter, but what happens in the end? They don¡¯t even wear a condom when they do it and cajole you by saying that it won¡¯t be that easy to get pregnant and that they will take responsibility if anything happens. And in the end? They¡¯re all just lies!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know how to respond to her again.
The girl became more and more furious as she spoke. She grabbed her hand and advised, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, remember this. Any guy who refuses to wear a condom when doing it with you is a b*stard! Regardless of whether he takes responsibility, we are still students, so he shouldn¡¯t let you get pregnant now. Guys who don¡¯t use condoms are irresponsible! They only think of themselves. Abortion is really harmful to girls. Even if the child is born, we¡¯re still in high school right now¡ª it¡¯s not suitable for us to raise a child right now. If a guy is responsible, he would never get you pregnant now.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and agreed with her. ¡°Yeah.¡±
The guys by the door lowered their heads in guilt as they heard.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression changed a little as well. His heart clenched and he was once again d that he had stopped just in time the night before.
Xiaoxiao¡¯s memory loss aside.
He couldn¡¯t imagine what would happen if he had done it with Xiaoxiao without a condom and caused her to be pregnant.
His back broke out in a cold sweat just by imagining it.
However, they were still young, just like what the girl had said. They weren¡¯t suited to have children right now.
How could he strip Xiaoxiao of the joy that was her youth?
It was then that Yin Shaojie started to think deeply about this and his future with Xiaoxiao.

Just as everyone thought that Xiaoxiao was about to persuade the girl sessfully, the girl¡¯s expression underwent a violent change. Calm before, it was now twisted and ferocious.
The girl snatched the phone beside her and aimed it at something downstairs.
¡°Du Jun, you jerk!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She followed her gaze and looked down. There was a couple walking together, and the girl was hugging the guy¡¯s arm. No matter how one looked at it, they were close.
Also, because there was no one near them, the pair were a little unrestrained, and the guy took the opportunity to kiss the girl¡¯s face.
Was this guy that b*stard?
The girl was now crying dismally. ¡°Go to h*ll, Du Jun! I am indeed a big fool. I had even hoped that you weren¡¯t really two-timing¡¡±
Now that she was confronted with reality, there was no point in lying to herself anymore.
¡°Du Jun! Du Jun!¡± The girl hollered at the top of her lungs, as though she wanted to show him the situation she was in right now.
However, the building was tall. No matter how she shouted, it was impossible to hear her from below.
The girl was too forceful in screaming, and her voice quickly became hoarse after a few shouts. She was now crying even more pitifully and dismally.
¡°How can you do this to me, how can you¡ Boohoo, Du Jun, you jerk! You liar! You said that you loved me, so how could you do this¡ Boohoo¡¡±
The girl clutched her chest as she bawled.
Realizing that the pair was about to walk out of sight, the girl panicked. In her rm, she shifted forward and her hand slipped from the handrail she had been holding, causing her to fall forward.
¡°Be careful!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s pupils constricted violently, moving forward hastily to hold her.
However, her movements were still a little slow, and she was only able to catch the girl¡¯s shirt.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart ran cold from fear. Was she really going to watch as the girl fell down?
No¡
She didn¡¯t want to!
However, she was helpless. She could only feel her hands and feet turn cold, unable to do anything.
Her mind was nk as well.
At the same time, a dark silhouette rushed over and leapt forward, catching the falling girl¡¯s hand in time.
¡°AH, AH¡ª SAVE ME! Boohoo, I don¡¯t want to die, I don¡¯t want to die!¡± the girl screamed.
A righteous voice bellowed, ¡°Stop screaming! Shut up if you don¡¯t want to die!¡±
This voice brought Mu Xiaoxiao back to her senses. Opening her eyes, she saw Yin Shaojie¡¯s face close to hers.
The vein on his temple had risen and practically half his body was over the railing.
¡°Jie¡¡± she called, dazed.
¡°It¡¯s dangerous here. Move back a little.¡± Yin Shaojie gritted his teeth as he said to her gravely.
Luckily, he had noticed something wrong with the girl¡¯s emotions and had moved closer stealthily.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned and didn¡¯t follow his instructions, but instead moved forward to hug his waist, trying to drag him back with all her might.
Yin Shaojie only sighed at her determination. He tightened his grip on the girl, causing the veins on his arm to pop.
The girl was suspended in the air with more than ten floors between her and the ground. Even if she didn¡¯t break any bones, there was no chance of her surviving the fall.
It was only then that the girl understood how scary death was. Her entire face was white with fright.
Because of Yin Shaojie¡¯s shout earlier, she didn¡¯t dare to scream anymore, but only fixed her pleading eyes on Yin Shaojie, her thirst for life evident in her gaze.

In this moment, she only wanted to live. All the difficulties in her life disappeared from her mind.
If she died, she wouldn¡¯t have anything left.
She didn¡¯t want to die.
She still had a lot of things she wanted to do!
The situation above quickly attracted the attention of the passers-by below, who started to shout. The guy named Du Jun looked up and saw it too and he was so afraid that he was at a loss of what to do.
However, after a few seconds of panic, he quickly dragged the girl with him and ran off.
Meanwhile, on the roof, the members of the Student Union saw how dire the situation was and rushed over as well.
However, Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t need their help, and hauled the girl up on his own.
The people who were present were shocked.
Young Master Jie was so formidable!
Young Master Jie was simply too handsome!
Everyone was unanimous on this point.
After the girl was rescued, she fell onto the ground limply. Her face was as white as the paint on the wall and her entire body trembled violently.
A coldness passed through his eyes and he suddenly gave her a p.
p¡ª¡ª!
The p was resounding, shocking the present crowd once more.
Yin Shaojie looked at the girl frostily and scoffed, ¡°Get the h*ll away from here if you want to die! Don¡¯t die in Shangde!¡±
The Student Union all inhaled at the same time, disbelief in their eyes.
This was the first time they saw Young Master Jie hit a girl.
However, Yin Shaojie¡¯s entire being was emanating fury and the crowd around him didn¡¯t dare to say a word.
The girl¡¯s head had been turned to one side by the p.
She lowered her head in apology. In a sobbing voice, she said hoarsely, ¡°Sorry¡¡±
Yin Shaojie stood up straight. Pulling up Mu Xiaoxiao, who had copsed on the ground weakly as well, he left expressionlessly.
¡°Wait¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was about to say something, but his strides were too quick and trying to catch up to him made her pant.
It was only after Yin Shaojie¡¯s figure disappeared down the stairwell that the Student Union members breathed a sigh of relief.
What had happened to the air around them earlier?
It was as though they had been suffocated. It was too scary!
¡
Mu Xiaoxiao was pulled down the stairs by force, and her short little legs almost couldn¡¯t keep up.
¡°Wait, where are you bringing me? I still want to teach that cheater a lesson!¡±
She was beyond furious!
That cheater deserved to die. He had obviously seen his girlfriend hanging in mid-air, but still ran off with his side-chick.
Mu Xiaoxiao cursed internally.
Even if she wasn¡¯t trying to im justice for the girl, she still wanted to beat the cheater up.
Yin Shaojie brought her downstairs. Looking around, he then kicked a random room open and brought her in.
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. Why did he bring her here?
He turned her around. When she finally regained her senses he pinned her against the wall.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, the person you should be caring about right now is me!¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice was low and hoarse, as though he were trying to hide his emotions.
Mu Xiaoxiao blinked uprehending. ¡°Why? Are you hurt?¡±
She was worried, and tried to see where he was hurt.
However, when she touched his body he caught her little hand and pinned it against the wall.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face moved closer. His breathing was heavy and warmer than normal as it brushed against her face.
He gritted his teeth as he hollered at her, ¡°Do you know how dangerous that was earlier!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. It was only then that she noticed his heaving chest. The hand that was holding hers also seemed to be shaking.
He¡

Mu Xiaoxiao leaned forward and hugged his waist. Pressing her little face against his chest, she said softly, ¡°I¡¯ll take care of myself.¡±
¡°You¡¯re really¡¡± Helpless, Yin Shaojie could only sigh and kiss the side of her face.
Afterwards, his long and slender fingers lifted her chin, and he suddenly kissed her violently.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s entire mouth was engulfed by his.
She didn¡¯t think of resisting, but even amodated him, opening her mouth a little wider when he wanted to burrow his tongue inside.
The pair made out for a while. It was only when Mu Xiaoxiao was about to be unable to breathe that he let go of her.
Yin Shaojie tapped on her little nose and said, ¡°We¡¯ve kissed so many times already. Why haven¡¯t you learned how to breathe.¡±
The taste of her was too sweet and he was loathe to let her go. He wanted to keep kissing her until the heaven and earth aged.
Mu Xiaoxiao beamed and hugged him tightly.
They had already kissed for quite a while. Was heining that it still wasn¡¯t enough?
He was so greedy!
The pair continued to make out in the room for a while before Mu Xiaoxiao lifted up her head ands said to him, ¡°Let¡¯s go and see how the girl is doing. You were so fierce earlier.¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s lips turned downwards and he harrumphed. ¡°She¡¯s a fool. Scolding her was a waste of breath.¡±
However, as the President of the Student Union, he couldn¡¯t let someone die under his watch.
It was especially so if a student wanted to jump from a building andmit suicide. This was something that would affect any school¡¯s image adversely.
Mu Xiaoxiao hugged his arm and pacified him, ¡°Alright, alright. She¡¯s quite pitiful to have met such a scummy guy. She wouldn¡¯t have wanted something like that to happen. Let¡¯s help her, okay?¡±
Her sense of righteousness was emerging again.
Yin Shaojie looked at her sparkling eyes. It felt as though she had regained her memories.
Even if Xiaoxiao hadn¡¯t lost her memory, she would stille to the aid of someone suffering from injustice.
He asked, ¡°How do you want to punish him then?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao tapped her chin with a finger. ¡°I think¡ Since he¡¯s such a scumbag, we have to denounce his wrongdoing publicly. If not, he may continue to dupe other girls.¡±
Yin Shaojiemented, ¡°But if we do this, the girl will be hurt badly too. I don¡¯t think she wants anyone else to know that she¡¯s pregnant.¡±
After all, this was high school. Having a premarital pregnancy sounded unpleasant, and it would invite a lot of criticism.
A teenager wouldn¡¯t be able to bear too much pressure from public opinion.
¡°I know. That¡¯s why we have to think of some other way to expose this scumbag¡¯s true colors, but protect the girl¡¯s secret at the same time. Do you think¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked into his eyes worriedly. ¡°Would it be better for her to leave Shangde, considering her current situation? After all, her abdomen will grow bigger gradually¡ She can¡¯t hide that.¡±
Upon speaking Mu Xiaoxiao sighed deeply. ¡°I don¡¯t dare to imagine how much pressure she¡¯s carrying¡ She¡¯s only in high school. What can she do now that she¡¯s pregnant? Not only must she stop studying, she must hide and not let anyone else know that she¡¯s pregnant. She has to hide for the length of the pregnancy. Just thinking about it makes me feel¡ aish.¡±
Wasn¡¯t high school when one was at the prime of their youth? This was the time when one should enjoy the beauty of youth, not shoulder such burdens and distress.

Yin Shaojie gaze deepened as he stroked her hair, seeming as though he were thinking about something.
Holding her little face and gazing at her, he said, ¡°In any case, she chose to walk down this wrong path. We can¡¯t help her with everything. She still has to deal with some of it herself.¡±
He knew that she was kind hearted, but he didn¡¯t like having her worry about a stranger.
Mu Xiaoxiao also thought that he was right. She nodded and said, ¡°We¡¯ll just do what we can to help.¡±
They had to teach that guy a lesson.
Hearing the footsteps outside, she tugged at his clothes and said, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go out.¡±
Yin Shaojie hugged her. He shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t want to go. Stay with me for a while more.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled. It seemed as though he were acting like a spoiled child toward her.
She couldn¡¯t bear to reject him, and her heart softened as she said, ¡°Okay, we¡¯ll stay for a while then.¡±
Anyways, the girl should be fine with the Student Union members around.
So, the two people hugged lovingly in this secret room for some time and also discussed how they would teach that cheater a lesson .
¡
In the car.
Upon learning of Xiaoxiao¡¯s memory loss, Mo Xiaomeng was anxious to see her.
¡°How did she lose her memory? Is it very serious? What if she can never recover her memory? Where is Xiaoxiao now? Can you take me to see her?¡±
Ye Sijue, who was driving, turned his head toward her and calmed her down. ¡°I asked Shaojie. He said that it was only a temporary memory loss, and it should recover quickly, so you don¡¯t have to worry so much.¡±
¡°How can I not worry!¡± Mo Xiaomeng frowned, her little hands clutched tightly by her side. ¡°Does she not even remember who I am now?¡±
Ye Sijue nodded. ¡°It seems like she doesn¡¯t remember anyone now, so it¡¯s useless even if you go now. It¡¯ll only make things moreplicated for Xiaoxiao. Yesterday, Qiqing and the others went to see Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao seemed to only want to be with Shaojie, so it¡¯d be better if you don¡¯t go lest you be a bother to them. Let¡¯s see how things go when Xiaoxiao regains her memory.¡±
¡°But¡¡± Mo Xiaomeng was simply worried. Her good friend had lost her memory. Of course she would want to personally check to see how she was doing.
¡°No ¡®buts¡¯. You want Xiaoxiao to regain her memory sooner, right? With Shaojie by her side, you really don¡¯t have to worry. I believe that Xiaoxiao will soon regain her memory.¡± Ye Sijue consoled her as he turned the steering wheel and watched the front.
Finally, they reached the Ye Corporation building.
Ye Sijue drove the car into the underground parking lot. After parking the car, he leaned over to help her undo her seat belt.
¡°I¡¯ll undo it myself.¡± His elegant face leaned so close to her, less than a few centimeters away. Surrounded by his manly scent, Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s heartbeat raced uncontrobly, her face blushing.
Fortunately, it was dim in the parking lot. Perhaps, he didn¡¯t notice it?
Mo Xiaomeng didn¡¯t know what was the matter with her. She seemed to feel a much greater sense of longing toward him¡
Perhaps it was because she was going to leave soon?
Initially, she wanted to celebrate Xiaoxiao¡¯s birthday with her before leaving, but calls from back home had urged her to return as soon as possible.
As she watched Ye Sijue¡¯s elegant face, her eyes became unconsciously filled with emotions.
¡°Why are you looking at me like this?¡± Ye Sijue noticed her gaze. With a faint smile, his blue eyes seemed amused.
But Mo Xiaomeng only felt an aching feeling inside.
Dwelling on her departure away from him, there was¡ an indescribable pain in her heart.
Chapter 1023 - More Important Than Him? (3)

¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Ye Sijue said in a pleasant voice as he reached out to brush her messy bangs to the side.
Snapping out of it, Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s soft, cherry lips pursed and smiled. She shook her head and said, ¡°Nothing. I just thought that you were¡ very handsome, and I can¡¯t help but to take a few more looks at you.¡±
Indeed, he was really handsome. Even if she had seen so many handsome guys of all kinds ever since she was young, she still thought that he was very handsome. He was so handsome that it stirred her heart.
Ye Sijue¡¯s eyebrow raised slightly. Looking skeptical, he looked into her eyes and said, ¡°You¡¯re suddenlyplimenting me. Do you have something you want to ask me to help you with?¡±
¡°Nope.¡± Mo Xiaomeng shook her head. What else could she ask for? During the time she had been staying with him, he had been perfect in nning everything for her, letting her have a pleasant and enjoyable time.
Her experiences in China were something she would never forget.
Ye Sijue suddenly turned to her and said, ¡°But there is something I would like you to help with.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng stared nkly. Puzzled, she asked, ¡°Ah? How can you have something you need my help with?¡±
Ever since she met him, she thought that there was nothing that he couldn¡¯t aplish. How could he have something he needed her help with?
Ye Sijue looked down, grabbed her fair, little hand in hisrge hand, holding it tightly.
He said, ¡°I have to go overseas for a business trip tonight. I want you to apany me.¡±
He would not be at ease leaving her behind alone. Even if Xiaoxiao hadn¡¯t lost her memory, he still wouldn¡¯t have left her in someone else¡¯s hands. He wanted to take her along with him and take care of her himself.
Somewhere along the line, he had already taken her to be someone he was responsible for.
¡°A business trip? Where are you going for your business trip?¡± Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed, looking troubled.
She was going to leave in a few days¡¯ time¡
However, she still hadn¡¯t thought about how she should broach the matter with him. Every time she wanted to talk about it, her throat felt as though it were choked by something, and she wasn¡¯t able toe out with it.
Moreover, she was only thinking of going back for a few days this time. She woulde back to China again in time for Xiaoxiao¡¯s birthday, so she would just be leaving for a few days.
However, after Xiaoxiao¡¯s birthday, she would still have to go back home, and she wouldn¡¯t being back to China.
It was this matter that she didn¡¯t know how to tell him.
Ye Sijue replied, ¡°I¡¯m going to America.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s eyes were startled, ¡°America?¡±
What a coincidence?
She was also nning on returning to America. If this was the case, then wouldn¡¯t that mean she was immediately going back home?
Ye Sijue could see that she was somewhat unwilling, probably because she was reluctant to part with Xiaoxiao so he exined, ¡°It¡¯ll only be for two or three days. No more than one week. When wee back, Xiaoxiao should have her memories back.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng wasn¡¯t worried about this but how she should be telling him about her needing to go back home.
Seeing that she was still hesitating, his stern brows furrowed, and he said upromisingly, ¡°Even if you don¡¯t want to go, I have already had someone book your ticket, so you have to apany me.¡±
Why was she so unwilling to apany him?
Or could it be that in her heart, Mu Xiaoxiao had always been more important than him?
Thinking about this, Ye Sijue felt unpleasant inside though he knew that it was quite ridiculous for him to be jealous of Xiaoxiao.
Chapter 1024 - More Important Than Him? (4)

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mo Xiaomeng could tell that he was angry. She shook her head and said, ¡°No. I didn¡¯t say that I¡¯m not going.¡±
She was too absorbed in her thoughts just now, so she was slow to reply to him.
¡°So you are willing to apany me on this business trip?¡± Ye Sijue asked seriously as his blue eyes stared fixedly at her. It was as if whether she was willing or not meant a lot to him.
If she was willing, then it would mean that he still had a ce in her heart.
Mo Xiaomeng nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯m willing.¡±
She thought that since she would have to return to America anyways, she could keep himpany for a few days and then find a way to tell him that she would have to go back home.
Ye Sijue held up her little hand to his lips, and he gave her a light bite.
¡°Why are you biting me?¡± Mo Xiaomeng felt a little pain as she looked at him, puzzled. She tried to retract her hand, but he caught her in a tight grip.
Her delicate, fair palm had a faint arc of teeth marks.
The corner of his lips curled up faintly, and his stern expression vanished. Sounding as though he were punishing her, he said, ¡°Why did you have to hesitate then? Are you thinking of staying here to apany Xiaoxiao? Am I, your boyfriend, or is she, your good friend, more important to you?¡±
Although it was quite childish to be jealous, he couldn¡¯t help it.
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s cheeks blushed. She stuttered, ¡°W-who said that you are my boyfriend?¡±
When did he be her boyfriend?
Ye Sijue¡¯s eyes narrowed. ¡°You were the one who said it, did you forget? When you were in Nanxiang Old Town, that was what you said to the human trafficker.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng stared nkly. She just remembered that.
¡°T-that is¡ only something I said without much thought to trick him. I thought I could scare him with that.¡±
¡°Something said without thinking the matter through tends to be spoken from the heart.¡± Ye Sijue insisted, wanting her to admit that he was her boyfriend.
Mo Xiaomeng snorted. She pouted unhappily and said, ¡°You¡¯re unreasonable! It¡¯s not like we¡¡±
He didn¡¯t even confess to her, and he wanted to be her boyfriend?
Heh heh. Did he even ask for her approval?
There was a strange light in Ye Sijue¡¯s blue eyes as if he had thought of something, his smile enigmatic.
He knew what she was going to say.
And he was also nning to give her a pleasant surprise¡
Pretending not to understand, Ye Sijue said deliberately in a bossy manner, ¡°In any case, since you have already said that I¡¯m your boyfriend, you can¡¯t go back on your word.¡±
¡°H-how is this going back on my word? I don¡¯t want to talk to you anymore.¡± Mo Xiaomeng couldn¡¯t beat him in the argument. She quickly pushed open the door and got out of the car.
Ye Sijue chuckled. Instead of replying to her, he got out of the car, went to the other side of the car, and grabbed her little hand.
¡°You¡¯re not familiar with this ce. Don¡¯t wander around. Follow me.¡±
With that said, he led her to the elevator.
Upon reaching the top floor, he held her hand as they walked out of the elevator. The workers at the scene were all stupefied when they saw the two of them.
What was this about?
Young Master Ye brought his girlfriend to the office?
Young Master Ye actually had a girlfriend!
Very soon, the news spread throughout Ye Corporation.
Though Mo Xiaomeng had long been ustomed to other people staring at her, this time it was a bit different. The way that these people were staring at her was too¡ weird! They were a bit too brazen.
¡°Hey¡¡± She tugged at Ye Sijue¡¯s hand.
Ye Sijue swept a cold gaze at those people and said sternly, ¡°Whoever continues to stare shall resign!¡±

Everyone panicked and quickly averted their eyes, not even daring to peek using the corner of their eyes.
Ye Sijue held Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s little hand as he took her into his own office.
Although they weren¡¯t staring at her anymore, Mo Xiaomeng felt that the atmosphere was even weirder now.
After entering the office, Mo Xiaomeng couldn¡¯t help but grumble, ¡°I knew I shouldn¡¯t havee here with you.¡±
She felt like she were a monkey put on exhibition.
¡°Where else would you want to go?¡± Ye Sijue took her to the sofa, sat her down, and patted her head as though she were a pet.
¡°Stay here. I¡¯ll go for a meeting and will be done soon.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng waved her hand. ¡°Go ahead then.¡±
She took out her cell phone, looking down as she yed with it.
Ye Sijue took a look at her. He picked up a pillow from the side, leaned close to her, held her up slightly, and thoughtfully ced the pillow behind her back.
Just then, a secretary came in and just happened to see them. She couldn¡¯t help but be stunned.
Was this affectionate person the Young Master Ye they knew?
Being the president of Ye Corporation, Ye Sijue was supposed to be addressed as President Ye. But since his father was also addressed as President Ye and because Ye Sijue had been around in thepany since he was very young, everyone was ustomed to addressing him as Young Master Ye, and they continued to address him in that manner.
The secretary knocked on the door to interrupt before saying, ¡°Young Master Ye, we are waiting for you in the conference room.¡±
¡°Yeah. I got it. Leave us for now,¡± Ye Sijue said indifferently.
The secretary couldn¡¯t help but nce at Mo Xiaomeng. She wasn¡¯t around earlier. When she came back, she heard from her colleagues that Young Master Ye had brought a beautiful girl to the office. Everyone was discussing whether this beautiful girl was Young Master Ye¡¯s girlfriend.
Even the secretary, who was used to being around events with lots of important people, was stunned.
What a beautiful girl!
An absolute beauty. It was as if she were heaven¡¯s most perfect masterpiece. She couldn¡¯t find any ws on her.
Her skin made the secretary envious. It was so fair and delicate as if there were no pores. Her skin was as smooth as butter and her face was as fair as white jade.
The secretary could not help but take a few more looks, and she noticed that the fine-looking girl looked mixed-race.
Now that she thought about it¡
The secretary shifted her gaze to Ye Sijue. It was said that Ye family also had bloodlines tracing back to other nationalities, and that was why Young Master Ye¡¯s eyes were blue.
It had to be said that the two standing together seemed like a perfect pair.
Noticing Young Master Ye looking over to her, the secretary snapped out of it, realizing that she had forgotten herself. She coughed and said, ¡°Young Master Ye, there is one more thing I want to report. It¡¯s about the trip to America¡¡±
Ye Sijue raised his hand and said, ¡°We¡¯ll talk about this after the meeting.¡±
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll excuse myself then.¡± The secretary bowed before turning to leave.
Mo Xiaomeng said to Ye Sijue, ¡°Go. Don¡¯t worry about me. I¡¯ll just sit here.¡±
¡°Are you thirsty? Is there anything you want to eat?¡± Ye Sijue asked as he walked to his desk. He pulled out a drawer, took out an iPad, and walked back over to her.
Handing the iPad to her, he bent down and stroked her little face with his long fingers and said, ¡°If you are bored you can y some games. This meeting may take a while.¡±

Mo Xiaomeng nodded. ¡°Alright. You can go now.¡±
Ye Sijue still wasn¡¯t reassured. He called for the secretary using the office phone.
In less than a minute, a beautiful, shapely woman dressed in red high heels came in.
¡°Young Master Ye, do you have any instructions for me?¡±
Her voice was so gentle and lovely that it could make a man weak in his bones.
Even Mo Xiaomeng, a girl, felt a stirring in her heart, and she instinctively turned to look.
The gorgeous woman seemed to be in her twenties. She was youthful, beautiful, and was very well dressed. Her every gesture seemed charming.
Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s gaze fell upon her chest.
Her cleavage was clearly visible and very alluring!
As if she had noticed eyes watching her, the secretary gave a confident smile and stood with her chest out.
However, upon seeing Mo Xiaomeng, she was stunned.
She had thought that Young Master Ye had brought a girl who still smelled of her mother¡¯s milk. So what if she were pretty? Did she have a good figure? But as soon as she saw Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s bust, the morous secretary pursed her lips.
Smelling of her mother¡¯s milk? Her figure¡
The morous secretary didn¡¯t want to admit that Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s beautiful face and body would charm many guys.
Ye Sijue said, ¡°Give her a cup of milk tea. Bring her some desserts and snacks. If she needs anything, help her get it.¡±
This was the first time that the morous secretary ever saw Young Master Ye treating a girl so thoughtfully.
Although she felt a little bitter, she still nodded and said dutifully, ¡°I got it, Young Master Ye.¡±
¡°Leave us then.¡±
The morous secretary¡¯s mouth twitched, seeming unwilling as she left.
Mo Xiaomeng nudged Ye Sijue and said, ¡°Are you going now? Go quickly. They are waiting for you.¡±
He had prepared the iPad, dessert, and everything else for her. Did he still not want to go?
Ye Sijue smiled. Instead of leaving as she wished, he bent down and trapped her on the sofa between his arms.
¡°There is still one more thing that I haven¡¯t done yet.¡± He deliberately deepened his voice, sounding more alluring.
¡°What is it?¡± Mo Xiaomeng didn¡¯t get him, batting her big eyes that were as blue as a sapphire.
However, he was leaning so close to her. Was he¡ trying to do naughty things to her?
Sure enough, Ye Sijue¡¯s elegant face went up close to her and he said, ¡°This.¡±
Then, he lowered his head and gave her a light peck on her little mouth.
Mo Xiaomeng nced at the door bashfully, fearing that someone woulde in.
He didn¡¯t even lock the door. What was he doing!
She thought he was only teasing her. But she never expected him to actually do it.
¡°Stop it. Hurry up and go! Go! Go!¡± This time, she pushed him forcefully.
¡°Alright then. Be good and don¡¯t wander around, okay? Wait for me toe back.¡± Ye Sijue couldn¡¯t help but kiss her soft cheek before getting up.
Mo Xiaomeng picked up the iPad to cover her little face. Hearing the sound of footsteps walking out, she then held the iPad aside and looked around the office.
He was really gone.
Mo Xiaomeng immediately felt bored. She took the iPad and started looking for games.
Just then, the morous secretary came over with the milk tea. Casting a nce at Mo Xiaomeng, her eyes flitted with viciousness.
She walked over to the coffee table in her high heels, smirking secretly.
Suddenly, she pretended to trip. The hot milk tea in her hands spilled¡

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
She had already calcted for the boiling hot milk tea to ssh onto the pretty girl in front of her.
However, no one could imagine what happened next. The morous secretary was careless as she lunged forward, causing her knee to hit the coffee table and she let go of the cup due to the pain.
The cupnded on a paper box, which caused it to rebound and the milk tea sshed backwards.
¡°AH¡ª!¡± The morous secretary shrieked in pain, for the milk tea had sshed onto her thigh. Even though there was fabric between her skin and the drink, it was still piping hot, and it was so painful that she jumped.
Mo Xiaomeng was shocked by the scream. Looking up in surprise, she saw the state of the morous secretary.
¡°Be careful. Are you okay?¡±
She even showed concern to the secretary, unaware that she was trying to hurt her.
The morous secretary red at her ferociously. Too choked with anger to speak, she turned around and left hastily.
Mo Xiaomeng was rooted in her original spot, stunned, looking at her.
She was half a momentte in speaking up. ¡°Do you¡ want to put some medicine on?¡±
However, the person had already left, and didn¡¯t look back.
Mo Xiaomeng felt puzzled. However, she felt bad for the person had been serving the milk tea to her.
She thought for a while before standing up and walking out, trying to see if the secretary was okay.
When she walked out, she couldn¡¯t find the secretary. She asked someone nearby, ¡°Where¡¯s the person who just passed through? The secretary who¡ just came out from this room.¡±
The person whom she was questioning was surprised and answered deferentially, ¡°You mean Secretary Tian? I think she went to the restroom. She looked like she had been scalded.¡±
The person sized Mo Xiaomeng up as he spoke.
Observing Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s exquisite and beautiful face up close made her sigh involuntarily. ¡°Miss, you¡¯re really pretty. Um¡ May I ask you something? What kind of rtionship do you have with our Young Master Ye?¡±
Afraid that someone would hear herst question, she lowered his voice and asked softly.
Mo Xiaomeng was surprised by the question and she was unable to answer temporarily.
Was she supposed to say that Ye Sijue was her boyfriend?
Mo Xiaomeng blushed. She would feel embarrassed if she told her that, and anyway, that would seem a little weird.
They were clearly not lovers¡
Upon seeing how she was put in a spot, the person helped her out of the difficult situation. ¡°Alright, I get it now. You have that kind of rtionship with Young Master Ye, and you¡¯re too embarrassed to talk about it, right? Let me tell you something: you¡¯re the first girl that our Young Master Ye has brought to thepany.¡±
Ye Sijue was someone who separated his public duties from his private interests. He was very strict, especially in thepany, and he was very serious and never careless about his work.
Thus, no one had imagined that he would bring his girlfriend to thepany.
This was indeed a spectacle!
Mo Xiaomengughed awkwardly, ¡°That¡¯s not it¡¡±
How should she put this?
Her regret intensified the more she thought. She wouldn¡¯t havee if she had known she would attract so much attention.
She quickly brought the original subject back, ¡°Can you tell me where the toilet is then? The secretary seemed to be scalded, and I want to see if she¡¯s alright.¡±
¡°Aiyoh, you¡¯re such a kind-hearted person. Of course I¡¯ll tell you. Walk straight and turn left¡ Actually, let me just bring you there. Ourpany is really big and I¡¯m worried that you might get lost. Oh, by the way Miss, may I ask your name?¡±
Chapter 1028 - How Much He Doted On Her (2)
Chapter 1028: How Much He Doted On Her (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The person perked up her ears, looking as though she were digging for gossip.
Mo Xiaomeng made up an excuse hurriedly, ¡°It¡¯s alright, I¡¯ll look for it myself. Thank you. I won¡¯t keep you from your work any longer.¡±
She then walked straight ahead hastily.
Walk straight and turn left, right?
Mo Xiaomeng thought that even if thepany was big, she could still ask someone for directions.
However, perhaps it was because she didn¡¯t have a good sense of direction, or that the person had pointed the wrong way to her, she didn¡¯t find the restroom and instead walked into a pantry.
She heard some voices inside and was thinking of asking them where the toilet was when she heard them conversing.
¡°Didn¡¯t Young Master Ye have someone he was going to be engaged to? Could this pretty girl be Young Master Ye¡¯s fianc¨¦e?¡±
¡°I¡¯m eighty percent sure of it. Young Master Ye isn¡¯t a yboy, and I¡¯ve never seen him get close to a girl before. It¡¯s impossible for him to find a girl on his own, and that¡¯s why the Ye¡¯s are so worried. I even heard that the Ye¡¯s are afraid that he¡¯s¡ that!¡±
¡°What¡¯s ¡®that¡¯?¡±
¡°You still don¡¯t get it? ¡®That¡¯ is¡ not liking girls! That¡¯s why the Ye¡¯s are hastily trying to find him a girl to be engaged with so that they can develop feelings.¡±
¡°Oh, I see! But the girl is really pretty. She looks so sparkly and refreshing. I wonder which rich family shees from. I¡¯ve only looked at her twice but I¡¯m already mesmerized. If she¡¯s my girlfriend, I would definitely hide her at home and not let anyone see her!¡±
¡°Be careful with your words. Didn¡¯t you see how Young Master Ye acted earlier? You shouldn¡¯t be looking at her let alone thinking of such nonsense. Be careful, or you¡¯ll be¡¡± The person who was speaking made a slicing motion at his throat.
¡°Okay, okay, let¡¯s stop talking and get back to work.¡±
Upon hearing the sounds of the people emerging from inside, Mo Xiaomeng hurriedly hid herself. It would be awkward if she bumped into them.
Her expression was a little gloomy.
Ye Sijue had a person that he was to be engaged to¡ Who was that girl?
She continued to walk as she thought, and arrived at the door to the restroom coincidentally.
Mo Xiaomeng looked up at the restroom and chuckled bitterly.
The world was a strange ce. She couldn¡¯t find what she was looking for when she searched for it carefully, but found it unexpectedly when she was careless.
Were humans like that too?
Then, Ye Sijue and her¡
Mo Xiaomeng didn¡¯t know when it started, but her mind was filled with a particr someone, and she would think about things rted to him at any time and ce.
Walking into the restroom, she saw the morous secretary in front of the sink hitching up her dress and sshing water on the scalded part of her thigh.
¡°Are you alright?¡± she asked instinctively.
The morous secretary looked up violently. She hadn¡¯t expected Xiaomeng to appear Her expression was thus surprised, but she looked angry for a split second.
Mo Xiaomeng was so shocked by her expression that she took a step backwards.
The morous secretary rearranged her expression hurriedly and squeezed out a smile. ¡°I¡¯m alright. I¡¯m just scalded slightly.¡±
¡°Do you have any creams? It¡¯s better to put some on.¡± Mo Xiaomeng didn¡¯t take her displeasure to heart for anyone would feel unhappy if they were hurt.
The morous secretary looked askance at her as she sneered internally, What are you pretending to be a good person for!
However, she maintained the smile on her face before sighing pitifully and saying, ¡°I¡¯m actually used to it. It¡¯s not my first time being scalded.¡±
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiaomeng couldn¡¯t help but sympathize with her.
Mo Xiaomeng walked closer, and noticed that arge part of her thigh was red.

She started in spite of herself. ¡°It¡¯s that serious? I think it¡¯d be better if you visited a doctor.¡±
The gears turned in the morous secretary¡¯s head. Turning to her, she requested, ¡°No, I can¡¯t go to the doctor¡¯s. May¡ May I ask you for something?¡±
¡°What is it?¡±
Upon seeing how it was easy to trick her, the morous secretary became very satisfied. Making her expression pitiful, she said, ¡°It¡¯s like this: Young Master Ye needs to bring a secretary for his business trip to America this time. I¡ I would like to go, but if he knows that my thigh is scalded, he won¡¯t choose me.¡±
Actually, she was a newbie who had only been in thepany for a few months. Even ording to the standards of selection, she wouldn¡¯t be considered at all.
After all, Young Master Ye was going to America to discuss arge-scale project, and he naturally needed a capable secretary to go with him.
Normally, the secretary with the most experience, the head of the Secretarial Department would be selected. However, Young Master Ye had passed a lot of work to his subordinates toplete recently, which meant the head of the Secretarial Department was very busy, and he still had a lot of important things to follow up on.
Thus, a secretary from the Secretarial Department would be selected to apany Young Master Ye this time.
Upon getting this news, the morous secretary, Tian Yunxin, thought that this was a good opportunity for herself. She had to think of a way to fight for this spot.
Perhaps she could use this girl in front of her?
Tian Yunxin said to Mo Xiaomeng pleadingly, ¡°Take it as though I¡¯m begging you. Can you please not tell anyone that I¡¯ve been scalded? This is a rare opportunity to go to America, and I really want to go because it¡¯ll be a great thing for my career. Please, I beg of you.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng was someone who couldn¡¯t refuse someone else¡¯s pleading and nodded. ¡°Of course. But¡ are you really alright?¡±
Tian Yunxin shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m really alright. It¡¯s not serious. I¡¯ll just buy some medicer and put it on.¡±
Even though she said this, she had been scalded quite badly, for the milk tea had been made with boiling water, and it was thus equivalent of being scalded with boiling water. It was actually really painful.
She thought hatefully about why she had been so careless as to scald herself!
She even pretended to look gratefully at Mo Xiaomeng and said, ¡°Thank you, you¡¯re such a good person.¡±
However, she was scolding Mo Xiaomeng in her heart.
Mo Xiaomeng could tell that she was trying to endure the pain, for she had been scalded before as well and knew how painful it could be.
¡°Is there a first aid kit in the office? Do you want me to help you get it?¡± she asked.
Tian Yunxin replied, ¡°There is, but¡ you wouldn¡¯t know where it is.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll ask around. Wait here for me.¡± Mo Xiaomeng felt sympathetic towards her and thus wanted to help her.
Mo Xiaomeng didn¡¯t wait for Tian Yunxin to reply before exiting.
Tian Yunxin ¡®s lips curled downwards as she looked at her retreating figure. ¡°Cheh, pretending to be a good person, huh? Disgusting!¡±
After more than ten minutes, Tian Yunxin got impatient, for Xiaomeng had not returned.
Finally, Mo Xiaomeng came back. She was sweating profusely as she ran in with a cream.
¡°I got it. They said this was good. Try it on.¡±
Tian Yunxin received the cream. Upon seeing that it wasn¡¯t branded, she became displeased. ¡°How am I supposed to use this? I don¡¯t want to use this.¡±
She then threw it back to her with loathing.
Mo Xiaomeng urged, ¡°Just try it. I¡¯m not very familiar with this medicine, but they said that it was good.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want it.¡± Tian Yunxin looked impatient as she pushed her hand away forcefully.
Mo Xiaomeng staggered and fell backwards onto the ground

¡°AH¡ª¡± Mo Xiaomeng shouted as shended on the floor. It was damp, making her skirt wet.
Upon seeing this, Tian Yunxin realized that the situation was turning bad. She quickly erased the loathing on her face and reached out to pull her up. ¡± Are you alright? I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t do it on purpose.¡±
Not on purpose?
Mo Xiaomeng wasn¡¯t a petty person and didn¡¯t argue with her. After standing up, she pushed her hand away. ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡±
Just then, someone entered upon hearing the scream. ¡°What happened?¡±
When she saw Mo Xiaomeng she was stunned. ¡°Aren¡¯t you the one Young Master Ye brought over¡ What happened to you? Why is your skirt like that?¡±
Upon seeing that someone else was there, Tian Yunxin¡¯s brows furrowed. Afraid that Mo Xiaomeng would reveal that she had pushed her, she hastened to push the me on someone else. ¡°What is the cleaner doing? The ce is so damp because she didn¡¯t mop it properly. She slipped and fell because of that. It must have been painful!¡±
¡°Does it hurt? Are you alright?¡± The person asked Mo Xiaomeng, concerned.
Mo Xiaomeng was about to shake her head and say she was fine when she heard a familiar voice ring out from outside.
¡°Xiaomeng?¡±
Upon hearing Ye Sijue¡¯s voice, Mo Xiaomeng, who was already feeling pain from the fall, teared up, her eyes reddening.
The Head Secretary ran in. Realizing that she was indeed inside, she said hastily, ¡°Young Master Ye has been looking for you all this while.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng remembered that Ye Sijue had instructed her not to wander around.
She calmed her emotions and walked out.
Ye Sijue was right outside the door and upon seeing a slightly battered Mo Xiaomeng walking out with a weird posture he rushed to her.
His sharp eyes surveyed her and realized that her skirt was wet.
¡°Did you fall?¡± he asked.
Because of his question, Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s nose twinged again.
If there weren¡¯t so many people watching, she would have leapt forward, hugging him and telling him that she was hurt from falling.
However, she could only stay strong and shake her little head. ¡°I¡¯m okay¡¡±
Seeing her like this made Ye Sijue¡¯s heart ache.
¡°You call this okay?¡± He could clearly see the tears in her eyes. She looked like she was about to cry. She was not okay, no matter how he looked at her.
However, Mo Xiaomeng only shook her head, refusing to say anything.
Just then, Tian Yunxin walked out, trembling. She tried to cover up and pretend that she wasn¡¯t feeling guilty as though she had nothing to do with this.
The female colleague who had entered the restroom also stood at the door. Upon seeing how frosty Ye Sijue was,no one dared to say a word.
Ye Sijue swept a nce across them and asked sharply, ¡°What happened earlier? How did she fall?¡±
Tian Yunxin originally nned to push the question to the female colleague to answer, but she realized that Ye Sijue was staring at her. She could only answer resentfully, ¡°The floor¡ was too wet¡¡±
She trembled as she said this, looking at Mo Xiaomeng worriedly, afraid that she would expose her lie.
The crowd was growing and Mo Xiaomeng felt ufortable. Stepping towards Ye Sijue, she tugged at his sleeve and said in a small voice, ¡°Let¡¯s go back to the office first.¡±
Ye Sijue turned back to look at her. His gaze was one of heartache and gentleness.
He took off his coat and put it around her.
He asked, ¡°Who made you fall? Tell me.¡±
The people who were present were shocked.
They weren¡¯t seeing things, right?
Chapter 1031 - How Much He Doted On Her (5)
Chapter 1031: How Much He Doted On Her (5)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The Young Master Ye was immensely caring! His tone was overflowing with love.
They couldn¡¯t help but start to wonder how doting Young Master Ye was towards this girl.
If she revealed the perpetrator, how would Young Master Ye deal with them?
¡°Let¡¯s go back to the office first.¡± Mo Xiaomeng was about to pull him away, but he bent down unexpectedly and carried her princess-style.
¡°You¡¡±
What was he trying to do?
Ye Sijue looked at her, as though warning her not to move. He then carried her away, ignoring the gaze of the crowd.
The crowd was shocked.
This princess-style carry was too romantic, right?
It practically looked like a scene from a celebrity show!
My goodness, Young Master Ye, how much do you care for her?
Upon arriving at the office, Ye Sijue put Mo Xiaomeng on the sofa gently.
When Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s bottom touched the sofa, she shut her eyes in pain.
His long and slender fingers caressed her little face, his gaze a little stern. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you not to wander about?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng pouted and made up an excuse, ¡°I wanted to go to the restroom¡¡±
¡°Is there something wrong with your kidneys? You went to the restroom beforeing here. You needed the restroom again?¡± Ye Sijue obviously did not believe her.
¡°Are you going to tell me who made you fall?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng knew that she couldn¡¯t lie and thus lowered her head and kept silent.
Ye Sijue pointed at the broken cup on the floor and asked instead, ¡°Who broke this?¡±
¡°Not me.¡± Mo Xiaomeng shook her head.
¡°I know it wasn¡¯t you, of course. Who was it? Secretary Tian?¡± he asked insistently. However, judging from the tone of his voice, he already seemed to know the answer.
Mo Xiaomeng nodded. It was only then that she looked into his eyes and said, ¡°She was being careless, and she also¡¡±
She was about to reveal that Secretary Tian was scalded, but remembering that she had promised not to say anything about it, she swallowed the next half of her words.
However, Ye Sijue saw through her and said, ¡°I heard from some people that you asked where their first aid kit was? Was it you or Secretary Tian who was scalded?¡±
Mo Xiaomeng looked at him and kept silent.
Why was he still asking her if he already knew the answer?
Mo Xiaomeng frowned. ¡°Why do I feel as though you¡¯re interrogating me? I didn¡¯t do anything wrong.¡±
¡°I told you not to wander around, but you did. And you¡¯re saying you did nothing wrong?¡± Ye Sijue looked at her. He then took his phone out and made a call to get someone to fetch a fresh set of clothes for her.
Mo Xiaomeng asked, ¡°What if I really needed to go to the restroom? Was I supposed to just wet myself?¡±
Ye Sijue said, ¡°Then you have to ask for my permission.¡±
Just then, the Head Secretary knocked and stood at the door. ¡°Young Master Ye, the meeting¡¡±
Ye Sijue nodded mildly. ¡°Got it. Get them to wait five more minutes.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng then realized that he had left his meeting.
¡°Weren¡¯t you in a meeting? How did you know that I wasn¡¯t in the office?¡±
Ye Sijue looked at her and harrumphed. ¡°I have my ways.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng took his coat off and pushed it to him. ¡°Hurry up and get to your meeting then.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll wait for the clothes to arrive first,¡± he said.
¡°It¡¯ll take more than five minutes for them to arrive, right?¡±
She had seen a mall on the way here so it wouldn¡¯t take that long to buy the clothes.
Ye Sijue said matter-of-factly, ¡°Let them wait even if it takes more than five minutes.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng was speechless.
However, his subordinates were efficient in their task and brought the clothes over within five minutes.

Mo Xiaomeng changed into the clothes in the room, and realized that the clothes were just the right size.
After walking out, she smiled as she said to him, ¡°I want to ask you for permission.¡±
Ye Sijue looked at her and asked, ¡°Permission for?¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t you say earlier? I have to get permission from you if I want to go somewhere. Can I go downstairs to take a walk?¡± She didn¡¯t want to stay up here any longer.
Ye Sijue looked at the time. Seeing that it was almost noon, he agreed, but instructed her not to leave this building.
Mo Xiaomeng promised him as she pushed him out of the office.
He headed to the meeting while she went downstairs via the elevator.
Originally, she only wanted to sit in the cafe on the first floor and have some cake, but she saw Tian Yunxin unexpectedly.
Tian Yunxin was talking to someone on the phone, so Mo Xiaomeng didn¡¯t go up and greet her, instead deciding to sit to the side of the cafe. The two were close enough that Mo Xiaomeng could hear what Tian Yunxin was talking about.
However, she didn¡¯t expect Tian Yunxin to be talking about her.
¡°You wouldn¡¯t believe it even if I told you about this. This is the first time that I¡¯ve met such a stupid girl. My goodness, she believes whatever I tell her. Haha, I wonder if she¡¯s just graduated from kindergarten seeing how she¡¯s so easy to fool.¡±
¡°Yeah, I wanted to ssh it onto her, but it somehow got onto me instead.¡±
¡°My thigh is still hurting like mad. It feels like it¡¯s on fire, and it¡¯s so ufortable.¡±
¡°She even ran over and pretended to see if I was okay. I¡¯m so disgusted. I almost couldn¡¯t control myself and wanted to get a cup of boiling water and ssh it onto her so that she could experience my pain. Humph!¡±
Upon hearing these malicious words, Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s eyes widened in shock.
This woman was scary!
So she had wanted to ssh the milk tea onto her right from the start. It wasn¡¯t an ident.
Upon knowing the truth, Mo Xiaomeng felt nauseated. She wanted to leave this ce and get further away from this vicious woman.
Just then, she heard Tian Yunxin voice again.
¡°A girl like that who¡¯s still wet behind her ears is of no significance to me. Just wait and see. When I go on the business trip with Young Master Ye, hehe, I don¡¯t believe he wouldn¡¯t bed me once I seduce him. Men are so easy to trick.¡±
Mo Xiaomeng was stunned. She had never expected her target to be Ye Sijue!
The words that came out of Tian Yunxin¡¯s mouth next were extremely licentious, describing how she would seduce Ye Sijue. Mo Xiaomeng couldn¡¯t stand to listen any further and rose to leave the cafe.
She rejoiced internally for not greeting her earlier, or she wouldn¡¯t have seen Tian Yunxin¡¯s true colors.
Mo Xiaomeng felt a little unhappy. No one would feel happy if something like this happened to them.
Luckily, she hadn¡¯t told Ye Sijue the person who had pushed her.
There were not many instances where Mo Xiaomeng felt unhappy. As she walked, she left the Ye Building subconsciously.
Suddenly, a dark silhouette enveloped her from behind.
Someone tapped her shoulder and called, ¡°Annie.¡±
Upon hearing this voice, Mo Xiaomeng turned around and looked at the person, stunned. ¡°You¡¡±
Half an hourter.
In the meeting room, Ye Sijue was thinking about where to bring Mo Xiaomeng for lunch instead of paying attention to the meeting.
Just then, his phone rang.
Upon seeing that it was Mo Xiaomeng who was calling, his lips curled into a joyful smile. ¡°Hello.¡±
However, after hearing her words, his eyebrows furrowed deeply and an icy aura emanated from his entire being.
The people in the meeting were shocked. Had something happened?
¡°Ye Sijue, I¡¯m sorry. I have to go home now. Bye.¡±
Those were the only words Mo Xiaomeng uttered before hanging up.

The temperature of the entire meeting room plunged to freeing point. The crowd looked at one another, silent, and even slowed their breathing, for fear of disturbing Young Master Ye.
What was the matter with Young Master Ye?
Did something major happen?
Was thepany going bankrupt?
While the crows were making wild guesses, Ye Sijue only frowned and called the number back.
However, it didn¡¯t get through. An emotionless woman¡¯s voice rang out, ¡°The phone you are trying to reach has been turned off. Please try againter¡¡±
Ye Sijue¡¯s gaze turned cold, and he clenched his fists tightly, as though trying to crush the phone in his hands.
He got up suddenly and walked out of the meeting room without a word.
The crowd didn¡¯t dare to breathe under the intensely dreadful atmosphere.
Ye Sijue looked grave as he hurried over to the surveince room and got someone to extract video feeds rting to Mo Xiaomeng.
She had still been in the ground lobby half an hour ago.
He noticed her tantly unhappy expression as she walked out of the building slowly.
D*mmit, didn¡¯t he tell her not to leave the building?
His expression was dark as he mmed a fist on the table, shocking the people around him. They stopped breathing, for fear of angering him.
There was no more video surveince after Mo Xiaomeng left the building. No one knew where she went.
What made her leave so suddenly?
Back at the office.
Ye Sijue dialed Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s number once more, but her phone was still switched off.
There was rage in his eyes, and it took some endurance to not smash his phone.
He took a few deep breaths before he called Yin Shaojie.
Luckily, the call was picked up very soon.
¡°Hello,¡± said Yin Shaojie.
Ye Sijue¡¯s voice sounded choked because of his suppression as he asked, ¡°How is Xiaoxiao? Has she remembered anything yet?¡±
¡°No, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Yin Shaojie realized that he sounded a little off.
Ye Sijue paused. His voice was stiff as he continued, ¡°Xiaomeng¡ is missing.¡±
¡°How did that happen? How did she go missing?¡± Yin Shaojie asked in a low voice.
Ye Sijue paced around frustratedly and pinched the space between his eyebrows as he exined, ¡°She was alright just now. I brought her to mypany and she disappeared while I was in a meeting. She then called me and said that she was going home before hanging up.¡±
His normally intelligent mind was now in a mess.
He didn¡¯t know what had happened to cause this.
She was clearly fine just a while ago!
With a down expression on his face, Ye Sijue kicked the coffee table. ¡°D*mmit! I shouldn¡¯t have let her wander about!¡±
However, no one could stop Mo Xiaomeng if she received a call and left of her own will.
Upon thinking of this, Ye Sijue¡¯s mood fell abysmally.
Even if she wanted to go off and go home, why had she told him so abruptly?
Ye Sijue chuckled coldly.
Was she trying to reassure him that she wasn¡¯t being kidnapped? Was she leaving out of her own volition?
Rage clouded Ye Sijue¡¯s eyes.
Did she not loathe to part with him?
Even though they were separated by their phones, Yin Shaojie seemed to be able to feel his emotions. He suggested, ¡°How abouting over to the condominium? We can think of what to do together.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll head over now.¡± Ye Sijue ended the call.

When he walked over to get his coat, his hand froze as he remembered that Mo Xiaomeng had been wrapped in it earlier.
He couldn¡¯t help but to lift the coat up to his nose for a sniff, and it seemed as though there was still a trace of her scent on it.
Gloom spread across Ye Sijue¡¯s gaze.
¡
Yin Shaojie opened the door for him when he arrived at the condominium, and made a shushing noise at him.
¡°Xiaoxiao is sleeping.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was tired from the incident that had happened at school.
Yin Shaojie then gestured to him to enter the study so they could talk.
Ye Sijue¡¯s patience as already at its limits. Frowning deeply, he asked anxiously, ¡°Has Xiaoxiao told you about Xiaomeng¡¯s home life?¡±
He hadn¡¯t been worried about Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s family situation before for he felt that there was no hurry to know about it, since she was Xiaoxiao¡¯s good friend and would likely know everything about it.
However, it was unlucky that Xiaoxiao had lost her memory at this moment.
It was Yin Shaojie¡¯s first time seeing Ye Sijue so ruffled. He remembered how he himself had been an uncollected, absolute mess when Xiaoxiao ran back to America because he had hurt her.
However, Ye Sijue¡¯s situation was different from his. He had known where Xiaoxiao would be, and thus could go and look for her immediately.
But Ye Sijue¡
Yin Shaojie sighed and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know anything. Xiaoxiao never talked to me about it. I only know that Xiaomeng was Xiaoxiao¡¯s friend in America, but I don¡¯t know any details about her family background.
Yin Shaojie asked, ¡°Is her phone unreachable? She might already be on a ne.¡±
The flight from China to America took more than ten hours. He still needed to wait for more than ten hours for Mo Xiaomeng to turn on her phone to call her.
Ye Sijue looked at Ye Sijue. He knew how tormenting the ten hours would be, for he had experienced it before. He knew that the wait could drive one crazy.
He thought deeply for a while before going to hisputer. Turning it on, he typed furiously on the keyboard.
Ye Sijue knew about his capabilities and thus knew that he was searching things up for him.
He said, ¡°I got someone to check the flights to America before I came over. There was a flight past eleven o¡¯clock, but Xiaomeng¡¯s name was not there.¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned but his fingers didn¡¯t stop. He said, ¡°There¡¯s a possibility that she¡¯s still in the country then. Or she could have taken a flight to another city. That¡¯s another possibility too.¡±
Lifting his dark eyes to look at Ye Sijue, he said in a low voice, ¡°The person who took her away has a private ne.¡±
Ye Sijue¡¯s calmness returned and he analyzed the situation logically.
He wished that Mo Xiaomeng hadn¡¯t left and was still in the country, for that would make locating her easy.
Yin Shaojie infiltrated the airport¡¯s system sessfully, but what he found made his frown deeper.
Shaking his head, he said, ¡°I can¡¯t find it. The information has been deleted.¡±
Even if a private jet was used, it still had a flight route because it was an international flight. Thus, such nes had to call the airport for its passengers to board before it took flight.
However, he was unable to find any data about it.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s words were on the verge of shattering the calm that Ye Sijue had regained earlier.
He asked in a low voice, ¡°Xiaomeng¡ Who is she, really?¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t reply, for he was concentrating on hacking into another system, the airport¡¯s surveince feeds.

Finally, he located Mo Xiaomeng after searching for more than ten minutes.
¡°See for yourself,¡± Yin Shaojie said in a low voice as he pinched the space between his brows, which were hurting from fatigue.
In the video, Mo Xiaomeng was holding the hand of a brown-haired boy. Even though she looked unhappy, the two of them were clearly familiar with each other, and judging from their bodynguage they were close.
When they walked past the camera, the boy even put an arm around Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s shoulder.
Ye Sijue¡¯s gaze was down as he stared at the screen.
Yin Shaojie observed him and said, ¡°At least we don¡¯t have to anxious about her safety. She¡¯s safe right now,and that should be a person she¡¯s familiar with who¡¯se to look for her and bring her back.¡±
However, it was unclear whether this person she was familiar with was family or someone whom she was intimate with.
Ye Sijue was silent.
Yin Shaojie stood up and patted his shoulder. ¡°Rx. Xiaoxiao¡¯s memory loss will right itself soon. I¡¯ll try to help her regain her memory as fast as possible. When she remembers, she¡¯ll be able to tell you how to look for Xiaomeng.
Ye Sijue looked at him then, his gaze indescribable.
He asked in a low voice, ¡°Xiaomeng¡¯s home is in America, right?¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded. ¡°It should be. However, America is very big. Even if you go there to look for her it wouldn¡¯t be an easy task.¡±
Frankly speaking, he wasn¡¯t really acquainted with Mo Xiaomeng. Additionally, Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s status was extraordinary, and thus couldn¡¯t be unearthed by random private detectives.
¡°I know.¡± Ye Sijue stood up, evidently having arrived at a decision.
He wasn¡¯t going to wait.
It wasn¡¯t because he didn¡¯t know when Xiaoxiao was going to regain her memory.
It was because he wasn¡¯t able to wait.
Ye Sijue took his phone out and dialed someone in hispany.
He then prepared to leave.
When Yin Shaojie sent him out, he suddenly remembered a lead and spoke hurriedly, ¡°Oh yeah, I met a man named William when I went to America to look for Xiaoxiao. He¡¯s Xiaomeng¡¯s brother. I was on a cruise ship with Xiaoxiao, and I remember her saying that the ship was named after Xiaomeng. It¡¯s called Princess Annie. That¡¯s the only lead I have.¡±
¡°Yeah, thanks.¡± Ye Sijue nodded and turned to leave.
Back in the car.
Ye Sijue sat in the back seat, cupping his chin with his right hand as he looked outside, deep in thought.
Princess Annie¡
It was obvious that Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s family background wasn¡¯t ordinary. No ordinary family would have a cruise ship named after one of their daughters.
Even though he had guessed that she was from a wealthy family, he hadn¡¯t expected for her family to be that wealthy.
His gaze turned gloomy.
Xiaomeng, what do I have to do to find you?
Back at thepany.
The secretary had already arranged matters ording to his instructions.
¡°Young Master Ye, the person who will be apanying you to America this time will be Secretary Tian from the Secretarial Department. Even though she¡¯s only been in thepany for a short while, she has been studying in America since high school and is more familiar with America. Thus¡¡±
Ye Sijue raised a hand to interrupt her words. ¡°Alright. Let it be so.¡±
The secretary asked, puzzled, ¡°Young Master Ye, you mentioned that you wanted to go ahead of time, so should I change your ne ticket for you?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need. I¡¯ve arranged for a private jet to go there.¡± He didn¡¯t want to wait a moment longer.
Tian Yunxin stood by the side meekly with her head lowered, but the corner of her lips turned up in a secret smirk.

At night, at a bar district.
¡°What¡¯s the matter? You¡¯ve been acting a little weird since afternoon.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao poked around in her cup with her straw as she looked at Yin Shaojie and asked, puzzled.
The pair were sitting in a pub, looking out of the window.
Yin Shaojie looked at her and reached out. Caressing her cheek with his long, slender fingers, his maic voice asked, ¡°When will you regain your memory?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s lips curled down and she asked uprehendingly. ¡°I don¡¯t know either¡ Why are you asking this out of the blue?¡±
He hadn¡¯t been so anxious when urging her to regain her memories in the past.
Yin Shaojie smiled. ¡°It¡¯s not me who¡¯s anxious. It¡¯s someone else.¡±
He was worried about Ye Sijue.
Only Xiaoxiao knew where Mo Xiaomeng¡¯s house was. If she regained her memory, she could help Ye Sijue.
As brothers, Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t bear to see Ye Sijue look down in the dumps.
Mu Xiaoxiao asked curiously, ¡°Who is it?¡±
Yin Shaojie replied, ¡°A good friend of ours. He needs your help urgently, but you won¡¯t be able to help him if you don¡¯t remember anything.¡±
¡°Needs my help? How can I help?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pointed to herself, as though doubting how she could provide help.
Yin Shaojie was thinking of whether he should tell her that Mo Xiaomeng had returned to America.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly turned back, tapped his arm and called out as she looked to the front, ¡°That guy¡¯s here!¡±
They were trying to ambush a guy named Du Jun.
As expected, the guy named Du Jun was walking over from the bar district. There was even a group of friends with him.
Mu Xiaoxiao threw the question she had to the back of her head, only thinking of punishing Du Jun.
¡°Move as nned!¡± She pressed a finger to her earpiece and instructed the person on the phone.
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help but to pet her head as he saw her excited expression.
Mu Xiaoxiao hugged his arm ¡°Let¡¯s go and follow him too.¡±
It was very crowded in the bar district right now. Thus, there was a lot of traffic outside, and they didn¡¯t have to worry about Du Jun noticing them.
Mu Xiaoxiao was evidently inexperienced in this. Afraid that Du Jun would leave her sight, she kept close to him subconsciously. There were a few times that Yin Shaojie had to pull her back and remind her to be careful not to be spotted.
After walking for a distance, Du Jun suddenly looked back and looked around, perhaps because he might have sensed something.
Surprised, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mind couldn¡¯t react in time and she simply kabedonned Yin Shaojie against the wall.
Yin Shaojie grinned at her. ¡°What are you doing?¡±
¡°Shh! He¡¯s looking over.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao ced a finger on his lips and gestured.
A helpless Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Don¡¯t you think you¡¯re being more obvious like that? Just rx a bit and pretend that we¡¯re passersby. He won¡¯t notice us.¡±
Her actions made them more suspicious. Even if he didn¡¯t discover their plot, he would notice them.
¡°What should we do then?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s lips curled down.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s pupils looked around mischievously and he pretended to stall. ¡°Oh¡ Let me see. Since you¡¯re already doing this, we have to act realistically so that he wouldn¡¯t suspect a thing.¡±
Upon noticing that she was going to look at the front again, he quickly cupped her face with his two hands and turned her head around to him so that she met his gaze.
He then moved his handsome face close. ¡°Don¡¯t look at where he is. Just focus on me.¡±
Chapter 1037 - He’s Mine (2)
Chapter 1037: He¡¯s Mine (2)

Mu Xiaoxiao was getting anxious. ¡°¡±How are we supposed to know if he¡¯s looking over here then? What if he gets away?¡±
¡°Rx, there are other people tailing him. He won¡¯t get away,¡± Yin Shaojieughed as he said. He held her chin with his long, slender fingers and put on a show of lifting her head up and giving her a little peck on her lips.
Mu Xiaoxiao blushed and pursed her lips in embarrassment. ¡°What are you doing?¡±
How could he do this! They were out in public!
¡°What are you afraid of? You¡¯ve already kabedonned me. Let¡¯s kiss a little more. That would be a logical development, right?¡± Yin Shaojie said in a carefree tone,ughing devilishly as he wrapped an arm around her waist. He looked like a mesmerizing yboy.
There were a few women who walked past them and they couldn¡¯t help but stare at them unblinkingly. They even smiled infatuatedly.
Upon hearing them call out how handsome he was, Mu Xiaoxiao felt very pleased.
She reached out and wrapped her arms around Yin Shaojie¡¯s waist and pressed her face against his chest, as though she were announcing: ¡°He¡¯s mine!¡±
Yin Shaojie kissed her forehead and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±
It was only then that Mu Xiaoxiao remembered about Du Jun. When she looked over, the scumbag was gone.
¡°Where did he go?¡± she asked anxiously.
Yin Shaojie swept a gaze in front and said, ¡°He should have entered that bar. Ask the tails.¡±
There were some Student Union members who joined them on this exercise. They had seen the girl about to jump from the building earlier in the morning and, feeling indignant at the scumbag, volunteered to join in.
Mu Xiaoxiao asked about it in WeChat. As expected someone replied shortly.
¡°The scumbag has entered a bar called Stray. Ah Jia has already followed him in.¡±
Yin Shaojie located the bar quickly, and holding onto Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand, went in.
Just as they entered the bar, a heavy duty motorbike roared past them.
The inside of the bar was thick with the smell of cigarettes and alcohol, making Mu Xiaoxiao frown in difort.
Yin Shaojie looked at her and said, ¡°See, you don¡¯t like this kind of environment. Do you want to go outside and wait?¡±
¡°No!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was determined. She had to see the n in motion with her own eyes.
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t do anything about her. He surveyed the entire lobby, and finding Du Jun, pulled her to a table in the corner. There were not a lot of people here, but it offered a good view of Du Jun¡¯s table.
The waiter was all smiles as he came up to them and put the menu down. ¡°May I know what you two would like to drink? Our bar is most famous for our homemade cocktails. We can customize it ording to your tastes. Would you like to try¡¡±
Yin Shaojie interrupted him before he could finish his words. ¡°Give me a ss of warm water and a clean hot towel.¡±
The waiter¡¯s expression froze. ¡°Just that?¡±
Yin Shaojie cast a look at him. ¡°Can we wait to order?¡±
The waiter was shocked by his frosty demeanor and quickly reverted to his friendly smile. ¡°Customer, if you¡¯re afraid that the girl cannot handle alcohol, our bar also has snacks that go well with the alcohol which are catered to girls¡¯ tastes.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was not happy that the waiter was blocking her view. She quickly picked up the menu and flipped it open to a random page. ¡°I¡¯ll have one of these, then,¡± she said to him.
However, Yin Shaojie reached out his hand, closed the menu, and said to the waiter, ¡°Give me one of every dish.¡±
Chapter 1038 - He’s Mine (3)
Chapter 1038: He¡¯s Mine (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The waiter was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled very happily and gave Mu Xiaoxiao an enthusiastic introduction again. ¡°Miss, if you don¡¯t like to drink cocktails, we have juices and other beverages, which are specially provided for those who don¡¯t drink alcohol.¡± ¡±
¡°I told you to just give her a ss of water.¡± Yin Shaojie stared at him coldly.
The waiter trembled unwittingly, feeling as though the air conditioning was too cold. He took away the menu, embarrassed. ¡°Alright sir, we will serve the items very quickly.¡±
Finally, with the waiter gone, Mu Xiaoxiao could now see Du Jun at his table.
The moment she looked over, her face made a disgusted expression. ¡°This cheater is really too¡ disgusting!¡±
At that table, Du Jun¡¯spanions were at first all guys. But for some reason, a fewdies joined them. They were sitting very close together and behaving very suggestively.
Mu Xiaoxiao, from this distance, could see that his hand was touching the woman¡¯s chest, moving about underneath the woman¡¯s clothes.
¡°Are these women¡¡± she asked.
Yin Shaojie nodded and said tepidly, ¡°They should be the hostesses.¡±
Frowning, he reached out to cover Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes, turning her little face toward him. ¡°Stop looking. It¡¯s not suitable for your viewing.¡±
He then realized that the atmosphere in this bar seemed off.
Although most bars were ces of decadence where people came to indulge and get high, people would not be too brazen in public and would at most kiss and hug.
However, this bar was a little excessive. There were quite a few tables where men and women were sitting together doing some baffling things.
He shouldn¡¯t have brought Mu Xiaoxiao in.
Mu Xiaoxiao pulled down his hand disapprovingly. ¡°So what? It¡¯s not like they would do it on the spot¡¡±
Before she could finish her sentence, a table at the corner caught her eye.
A man and woman were at the table. The woman was sitting on the man¡¯sp. Their expressions were frenzied as their bodies pressed closely together.
Realizing what they were doing, Mu Xiaoxiao quickly turned back, her little face showing feverish signs.
Goodness gracious, this bar was too¡
She couldn¡¯t find the adjectives to describe it.
At that moment, she really wanted to escape. But if she were to run now and be seen by the people from the Student Union it would be embarrassing.
Thus, she pretended to sit calmly, not looking anywhere else but where Du Jun was.
Tilting her head, she went closer beside Yin Shaojie and said, ¡°Tell them to get started quickly. I don¡¯t want to stay here for much longer.¡±
She felt extremely ufortable here.
¡°Yeah,¡± Yin Shaojie replied, and he notified the Student Union over the cell phone.
Just then, the waiter came over to serve the items, putting a ss of water, the hot towel, and two tes of snacks on the table.
Mu Xiaoxiao fanned her face with her hand. Upon seeing that the water was here, she reached for the water.
¡°Enjoy. There are still other items on the way.¡± The waiter smiled and left.
He suddenly stopped her. ¡°Wait a second.¡±
She stopped upon hearing him, her lips on the ss. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±
¡°Give me the ss,¡± he said, frowning. His gaze was fixed on the ss. It seemed as if there was something weird inside.
Chapter 1039 - He’s Mine (4)
Chapter 1039: He¡¯s Mine (4)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled, but she still handed the ss over to him.
Yin Shaojie brought the ss to his nose and sniffed the water. The smell of alcohol and tobo in the bar was very strong, and the water had almost no smell, so it was hard for him to sniff out anything.
He tried a sip and his expression immediately changed.
¡°Is there something wrong with the water?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao went up to his ear to ask him, having noticed that his brows were furrowed.
Yin Shaojie expression was grave. He nodded and said, ¡°Yes, there¡¯s some¡ aphrodisiac inside.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She hugged his arm and grumbled, ¡°Then why did you drink it! Are you okay? Spit it out quickly!¡±
Yin Shaojie chuckled, pulled down her hand, and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. It¡¯s only a small amount. Drinking a little won¡¯t be a problem.¡±
His gaze fell upon the snacks on the table. They likely contained some as well.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s deep, ck eyes surveyed the ce. He seemed to understand what was going on.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked irritatedly at the hot towel. She pouted and asked, ¡°Is it on the towel also?¡±
She was thinking of using it to wipe her hands.
¡°I don¡¯t think so. You can use it,¡± Yin Shaojie said.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. Underwhelmed, she said, ¡°I think I¡¯ll pass.¡±
Having heard him, how would she dare touch anything here?
¡°How does this kind of bar even exist? It¡¯s too disgusting,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. She red at Du Jun again. If it weren¡¯t for him, she wouldn¡¯te to this ce.
Although she wasn¡¯t so naive as to think that the world was without faults and knew that there would always be some ces that were very dirty, she wasn¡¯t used to these kind of ces.
Mu Xiaoxiao only felt that the air there was making her feel nauseous. She really wanted to get out of there immediately.
Seeing that she wasn¡¯t looking very good, he reached out and touched her cheek. ¡°Why is your face icy? If you feel ufortable here, let¡¯s leave.¡±
¡°I can still endure it.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to make herself appear useless.
But Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t approve. Suddenly, he thought of something, frowning as he said, ¡°I don¡¯t know if there are any problems with the air here, so it¡¯s best that you don¡¯t stay here. I¡¯ll take you out.¡±
¡°What about you? Are you going to be here alone? I don¡¯t want that.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. She didn¡¯t want him to be alone.
He was the president of the Student Union, so this operation was directed by him. Of course he had to keep watch.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t know what to do with her. ¡°Stay here for a while more then. If you really feel ufortable we¡¯ll leave, okay?¡±
¡°Yeah!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded.
Yin Shaojie pondered for a moment. He picked up the cell phone to get someone to send a bottle of mineral water in. But he realized that the signal wasn¡¯t good here. He couldn¡¯t send a message, let alone make calls.
Was this a problem with the location, or was there something that was interfering with the signal?
¡°Sit here. Don¡¯t wander around. The signal isn¡¯t good here. I¡¯ll go make a call outside.¡± Yin Shaojie said beside her ear, showing her the cell phone.
Mu Xiaoxiao obediently replied, ¡°I got it. I¡¯ll sit here and go nowhere. If someone bades along, I won¡¯t go with him. You can rest assured.¡±

Seeing her wacky smile, he chuckled, got up, and went to the side.
Finally, he could get signal. He made a call and got someone to send in a bottle of mineral water and manage the operation.
Under the colorful lights, an enchanting woman shook her hips like a snake as she sashayed up behind Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie had been observant of her approach.
¡°Okay, that¡¯s all.¡± He hung up the call.
The woman leaned on him from behind. Her soft hands touched his back, caressing him seductively.
¡°Hey handsome, is this your first time here? I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve seen you before.¡±
Although it was dim in the corner, it was enough for her to notice an unusually handsome man like Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie had caught the attention of many women when he first came in.
After all, a man like him who looked so handsome, whose every gesture seemed like that of a ssy, rich person, was a rare sight in bars. He was like a rare animal.
However, seeing that he had a femalepanion, some of them gave up the idea of ?ing on to him.
But some of the women weren¡¯t bothered.. Seeing as he was now alone, they took the chance to seduce him.
Yin Shaojie stepped sideways skillfully, escaping her hands.
A regretful expression appeared on the woman. Although she touched him, she was enthralled upon feeling the warmth and the texture of his muscles beneath her palms.
She was already imagining being in bed with him.
When Yin Shaojie turned to face her at that moment, she could clearly see his elegant face that was the envy of men and gods, and she was immediately stunned, her eyes wide.
He was even more handsome up close!
¡°Handsome¡ may I know your name?¡± the woman said softly, her eyes enticing Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes narrowed, thoughts running through his mind.
Then he smiled gentlemanly and said,¡±Oh, I¡¯m more interested in your name. May I have the honor?¡±
The woman was pleasantly surprised. Not expecting that he would bother with her, she was so excited and eager to answer, ¡°My name is Manman. What about you?¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t answer and continued to ask, ¡°You are a regr at this bar, right? It¡¯s my first time here, so I don¡¯t know what there is to do for fun here. Can you give me the introductions?¡±
¡°Of course! Of course I can!¡± The woman could hardly wait to throw herself at him.
Sitting at the other side, Mu Xiaoxiao kept looking in his direction. When she saw a woman approaching him, she thought that he would drive her away.
But he didn¡¯t. He was talking very happily with this woman.
Mu Xiaoxiao bit her lip unhappily. ¡°What the hell is he doing?¡±
Her eyes slowly oozed with jealousy.
Seeing that the woman was trying to hug his arm, Mu Xiaoxiao finally couldn¡¯t sit still any longer. She immediately stood up and walked over to him quickly.
¡°Who is she?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked, looking serious.
Yin Shaojie smiled and said to her, ¡°She¡¯s a friend I just met.¡±
The woman cast a nce at Mu Xiaoxiao. Seeing that Mu Xiaoxiao was still a young girl, she snorted. Then she pushed her chest out and twisted her hips charmingly like a snake.
¡°Who is this little girl to you? Is she your sister? Is it a good idea to bring her to this kind of ce?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao red at her and shouted, ¡°Who¡¯s a little girl!¡±

She went beside Yin Shaojie, hugging his arm possessively as she said to the woman, ¡°He¡¯s my man! Get it?¡±
He was hers! He was hers!!
Was this woman blind to not get something so obvious?
The woman folded her arms, in an ¡®I don¡¯t believe you¡¯ attitude, deliberately making Mu Xiaoxiao mad.
So what if they were really a couple?
The woman curled her lips disdainfully. She had seen this type of situation many times. Men with girlfriends who still came out to y. So what if they were a couple?
Mu Xiaoxiao was agitated. She tugged at Yin Shaojie, huffy as she said. ¡°You tell her. Who am I to you!¡±
Yin Shaojieughed, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say it already? I¡¯m your man.¡±
Seeing her so eager to im ownership of him made him overjoyed.
Mu Xiaoxiao proudly held her chin up and taunted the woman, ¡°Hear that?¡±
She hugged him even tighter. Her bodynguage was saying fervently, ¡°He is mine!¡±
The womanughed and said, ¡°Okay then. But¡ can you be sure that he will always be yours?¡±
¡°Of course!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao replied proudly.
¡°Heh.¡± The woman¡¯sugh seemed contemptuous. She stopped arguing with Mu Xiaoxiao, turning to Yin Shaojie with coquettish eyes. ¡°Remember, you¡¯re gonna treat me to a drink.¡±
¡°Of course,¡± Yin Shaojie said.
The woman got the answer she wanted and she threw an amorous nce at him before leaving.
Mu Xiaoxiao curled her lips unhappily, looked up at Yin Shaojie and asked, ¡°What did you just say to her just now? Why do you have to treat her to a drink?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked down at her. His lips curled up in a yful smile and his finger poked at her soft cheek.
¡°I can smell it from here. Your pouty little mouth is filled with jealousy.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. She swatted away his finger unhappily and said, ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to change the subject! Answer me quickly. What did you talk to her about just now? Why do you have to treat her to a drink?¡±
He was really going to be the death of her!
Just a moment ago, he was being so nice to her. Why did he, all of a sudden, get involved with some other woman?
Yin Shaojie ced his finger on his lips and shushed her.
¡°Don¡¯t be so loud. Don¡¯t get so agitated. Let¡¯s go back and sit down, and I¡¯ll exin it to you slowly, okay?¡±
¡°No!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao retorted in a huff.
¡°Come on. Let¡¯s go back, take a seat, and enjoy the show.¡± Yin Shaojie held her little hand, forcefully leading her back to their seats.
Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to wring her hand free of his, but she failed.
¡°Shh. Let¡¯s forget this for now. Take a look.¡± Yin Shaojie said as he pointed to the direction of Du Jun after sitting down.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused what she was doing. Finally, she looked over reluctantly.
Then she saw that woman from earlier charmingly walking up to Du Jun. She smiled at him and sat down.
Du Jun obviously looked happy from being ttered, his eyes fixed on the woman as though he couldn¡¯t bear to look away.
The two talked. Then the woman stood up and curled her finger at Du Jun, beckoning to him, Just like a dog Du Jun followed her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled, ¡°You told her to¡¡±
She wasn¡¯t dumb. She realized it after seeing that, but¡ upon thinking back to what she saw earlier, she still felt a little upset inside.

Yin Shaojie smiled and said, ¡°I was only using her. Seems like she wasn¡¯t lying. She is really popr around here.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao turned to re at him.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yin Shaojie looked at her. Didn¡¯t he exin to her already?
¡°Humph! But I¡¯m still angry!¡± She pouted and turned away in a huff.
Smiling, Yin Shaojie put his arm over her shoulder. ¡°Are you still jealous?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pushed his hand away and said stubbornly, ¡°Who¡¯s jealous? I¡¯m angry, not jealous!¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at her. Jealousy was written all over her face. And she was still insisting that she wasn¡¯t jealous?
¡°You¡¯re really not jealous? Really?¡± He pressed her, as if he had to make her admit it.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to talk to him anymore. She pointed to Du Jun and said, ¡°Look over there. Don¡¯t look at me. There are beauties there.¡±
¡°I¡¯m looking at a beauty, the most beautiful girl in the world.¡± Yin Shaojie gazed at her with his inky ck eyes.
Immediately realizing that he was referring to her, Mu Xiaoxiao finally broke out in a smile.
Yin Shaojie nced from the corner of his eyes and saw the woman walking with Du Jun down the corridor toward the private rooms.
He tapped on her nose and said, ¡°Okay, we¡¯ll carry onter. Now it¡¯s time to work. Didn¡¯t you want to punish the cheater?¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go then!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao also thought that it was meaningless to quarrel with him so she followed him.
They went down the corridor and met with some of the boys from the Student Union.
¡°President, they have entered the room.¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded and said, ¡°Alright. Go and watch the surveince cameras. Remember to capture it clearly.¡±
¡°Understood.¡± The few boys then went back into their room.
Mu Xiaoxiao batted herrge eyes and asked, ¡°What are you going to capture?¡±
He told the woman to bring Du Jun into the room and that had a pinhole camera installed in the room?
Yin Shaojie patted her head. He smiled and asked. ¡°Are you sure you want to know that much? Or do you want to see what they are recording?¡±
¡°No.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said as she quickly shook her head. Even she knew that it would be dirty stuff that they would be recording.
Moreover, seeing himugh with ill-intentions, she knew that he was teasing her.
Yin Shaojie pushed open the door to the next room and looked around. ¡°The decor isn¡¯t too bad. Let¡¯s go in.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. ¡°What are we doing inside?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at her eyes and smiled naughtily. ¡°We¡¯re going in so I can eat you up. Are you scared?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She had given herself to him thest time, but he had held himself back at the critical moment.
Yin Shaojie took her little hand. ¡°Come on. Sing me a song.¡±
¡°Singing? Aren¡¯t we going to¡¡±
¡°Not so fast. We can¡¯t just stand outside and wait, right?¡±
However, just when he was about to take her in, there was suddenly amotion outside. Then came some shouting and screaming.
¡°What¡¯s happening?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stupefied. Immediately realizing that the situation was off, she felt a little scared. ¡°What¡¯s happening outside?¡±
They couldn¡¯t see the situation in the lounge from here and could only hear the noise and screams. There was also someone shouting loudly for people to stop. Just listening to it was scary.
¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Yin Shaojie grabbed her hand tightly.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked around worriedly. ¡°Is there a fight outside? Should we go in and hide?¡±
However, the next second was even more dramatic as an rm began ring.

This time, Mu Xiaoxiao dug herself into Yin Shaojie¡¯s arms. ¡°What¡¯s this about?¡±
Looking at the shing red light above, Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression seemed to rx a little, and he guessed, ¡°It¡¯s very likely that¡ the police areing.¡±
Just then, the door to the other room opened and the boys from the Student Union rushed out.
¡°President, what happened?¡±
Yin Shaojie asked them, ¡°Did you capture it?¡±
One of the boys was still calm. He nodded and said, ¡°We got a little. It should be enough. When we put this on the Inte the cheater¡¯s reputation will be ruined.¡±
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Good job. Pack up quickly. Let¡¯s go.¡±
The few boys then went into the room to pack up.
Just then, a string of people ran toward them in a panic as though they were fleeing from something. Panic and fear were all over their faces.
Yin Shaojie pulled Mu Xiaoxiao aside and protected her lest these people bumped into her.
Mu Xiaoxiao heard the people who were running shouting about the policeing.
She looked at Yin Shaojie admiringly. ¡°It¡¯s really the police who areing. How did you guess that?¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t have the time to answer her. Immediately came a group of policemen, chasing after those who fled, and some went into the rooms to conduct checks on people.
¡°You two! Stop!¡± There was a policemen who shouted at them.
Yin Shaojie looked directly at him. ¡°We¡¯re not running.¡±
The policemen came over and said in a lecturing manner, ¡°You two look so young, but you came here to y? And you, little girl, you¡¯re still a student, right? What school are you from?¡±
¡°We¡¯re not here to y.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao felt that this policemen was being quite fierce, so she instinctively exined to him.
The policeman smiled disdainfully. ¡°You¡¯re not here to y? Are you here to do your homework then?¡±
He pointed to Yin Shaojie and said, ¡°Come on. Come with us to the police station. You can tell whatever lies when we record your statement.¡±
Displeased, Yin Shaojie wrung his eyebrows as though he were about to blow his top.
Suddenly, Du Jun ran out of the room, bumped into a policeman and ran towards the back.
The policeman who had gone into his room ran out and shouted, ¡°This guy has drugs on him! Get him!¡±
The policemen couldn¡¯t care about Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao anymore, and he warned them, ¡°Be good and stay here. If you try to run, your punishment will be more severe. Are we clear?¡±
Then he followed after the other policemen and hastily chased after Du Jun.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. ¡°That cheater actually possessed¡ drugs?¡±
Yin Shaojie analyzed, ¡°He may be a dealer, so he has a lot of the drugs on him. If he gets caught by the police¡ Hehe¡ He¡¯ll definitely go to jail.¡±
¡°So what do we do now?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked up and asked him.
They weren¡¯t just going to stand there obediently and wait for the fierce policeman to take them back to the police station were they?
She didn¡¯t want to go to the police station!
¡°Come on. Ignore him. We didn¡¯t do anything bad.¡± Yin Shaojie held her little hand and pondered for a moment before heading toward the back door.
There were probably a lot of police by the door and it was likely that the media would arrive soon.
The students from Student Union poked their heads out from the room and asked worriedly, ¡°President, what should we do now?¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go, or do you want to go to the police station?¡±
The few boys shook their heads and said in unison, ¡°No!¡±
Who would want to go to the police station?

Although they didn¡¯t do anything bad, even if they went to the police station and were released without any transgressions, it would affect them emotionally.
Thus, they went toward the back door.
Upon exiting from the back door and breathing the fresh air outside, the nervousness on their faces disappeared, and they couldn¡¯t help butment,¡±The air outside is good. The foul air in that bar was dreadful.¡±
Although many boys loved to spend time at bars, the bars that they frequented were decent ones, not dirty ones.
Just as they were about to go, suddenly a group of people bumped into them from behind. They were like fiends. Even after bumping into them, they shouted, ¡°F*cking sh*ts! Get lost! Stop blocking the way!¡±
This group of people was followed by policemen, apparently chasing after them.
Seeing that the situation wasn¡¯t good, they tried to grab Mu Xiaoxiao. But Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression turned icy, and he pulled Xiaoxiao behind him.
¡°You punk! Tch!¡± The leader grabbed Yin Shaojie¡¯s cor with his thick, strong arm, and pressed a cold gun against his head.
He howled, ¡°You want to protect my girlfriend, right? Come then!¡±
In a sh, the policemen caught up. They squeezed out from the back door and aimed their guns at the group.
¡°Surrender!¡±
Yin Shaojie wrung his brows and pushed Mu Xiaoxiao to the side, telling her to step back.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little face was tense. She was panic-stricken as she stared at the gun pressed against his head. She shook her head and refused to leave.
¡°Go!¡± Yin Shaojie shouted.
Did she want them both to fall into the hands of these people?
These people were obviously bad guys. The police probably swept the bar this time to catch them people.
¡°Trying to run?¡± One of the men with a big beardughed. Taking one more hostage would be beneficial to them. How could they let the girl run away?
Just when his hands reached out to grab Mu Xiaoxiao, the roaring sound of an engine filled the dark alleyway.
¡°What¡¯s that?¡±
Everyone was confused. Then a beam of light shone on them.
Dazzled by the light, everyone instinctively closed their eyes and some of them blocked the light with their hands.
The roaring sound suddenly came closer, and a heavy motorcycle sped from behind them.
The big bearded man, who was trying to grab Mu Xiaoxiao heard the sound of the engine drawing toward him. In that instant, his heart shrank, but before he could react, the motorcycle knocked into him and he flew forward. Falling painfully onto the ground, he fainted quickly.
Not only were the students from the Student Union stupefied at the sight of that, even the policemen looked surprised.
What was this about?
Was this heavy motorcycle here to save someone?
However, before everyone had the time to react, Mu Xiaoxiao stepped back in fright and almost fell down when the man in ck on the heavy motorcycle outstretched his arm to catch her in time.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled as she stared at the person before her. The person was wearing a helmet, and she couldn¡¯t see his face. But from behind helmet visor, she seemed to feel a chilly re.
After she regained her bnce, the man looked back. He elerated fiercely, turned the vehicle around, and shot toward the gang¡¯s boss who had a gun pointed at Yin Shaojie.

The situation looked too terrifying. And the gang boss¡¯s instinctive reaction was to step backward.
The heavy motorcycle ran into the wall, and the person riding it jumped away, his legs flying toward the boss.
Everything happened so quickly that it was too much to take it. It felt like they were watching an action movie. They were so shocked that they stood rooted to the ground, their eyes widening as they watched.
Yin Shaojie was the fastest to react. Together with the owner of the motorcycle, he attacked the gang of bad guys.
It was a fantastic fighting scene. Yin Shaojie and the owner of the motorcycle were like actors from the movies. Their skills were extraordinary. There was power in every attack, so cool that it was breathtaking.
It was also the first time that the few boys from the Student Union saw their president in a fight. They were dumbfounded but they couldn¡¯t utter a sound.
Finally, someone eximed.
¡°Wow. Young Master Jie is¡ so amazing!¡±
¡°That man is also very strong!¡±
All guys like action movies. Seeing it in the movies was already very exciting. Now that they could see it in real life up close, it sent their blood burning with excitement.
Even the policemen beside them were only watching in a daze, their eyes unblinking.
Within a few minutes, Yin Shaojie and the owner of the motorcycle were done subduing the bad guys.
However, suddenly there was a loud bang.
¡°Be careful! There¡¯s someone up there!¡± A chilly voice came from under the helmet as he warned everyone.
Bang¡ª¡ªBang!
Two gunshots were heard. The owner of the motorcycle and Yin Shaojie dodged to the side at the same time, avoiding the bullets.
As the policemen snapped out of their trance they raised their guns anxiously to fire back at the person hiding above¡
¡ a sound was heard¡ª¡ª
Bang! This one sounded softer than a normal gunshot.
Immediately, the person who had been hiding on the upper floor fell down andy motionless on the ground.
Everyone was shocked. They turned to look at the owner of the motorcycle in unison and saw that he was holding a ck gun in his hand that seemed to havee from of nowhere.
The policemen were stunned. Though the man had just helped to subdue the group of drug dealers, they still pointed their guns at him.
¡°Put the gun down!¡±
The owner of the motorcycle cast a nce at them. Instead of obeying their instructions, he put away the gun.
Yin Shaojie wrung his eyebrows as he watched him.
After the fighting, he could sense that this person¡¯s skill was exceptional. It was not a level that ordinary people could reach.
Who was this person? He was also curious to know.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t care less about the strange situation as she rushed to Yin Shaojie and threw herself into his arms. She asked worriedly. ¡°How are you? You¡¯re not hurt, are you?¡±
Holding her with one arm, his other arm stroked her head to calm her down. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±
Meanwhile, the policemen watched the man guardedly, slowly approaching him. But they weren¡¯t too cocky as they said, ¡°Remove your helmet.¡±
This time, the owner of the motorcycleplied with their request and took off his helmet.
Mu Xiaoxiao watched curiously.
His face just happened to be well-lit by the light on the alley wall, so people could see the deep outlines of his face. He had a very handsome face. Set on his well-defined facial features were a pair of cold eyes like the dark gxy.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened in astonishment, her mouth slightly open. It was clearly written on her face: ¡®So handsome!¡¯
Yin Shaojie shot a look at her unhappily, his eyes filled with jealousy.
Stretching out hisrge hand, he blocked her view.

¡°Hey! What are you doing?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao flicked his hand away as though she were shooing away an annoying fly.
Yin Shaojie curled his lips, gritted his teeth, and said. ¡°I should be the one asking you that. Stop looking.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao then realized what he meant. She turned to him, grinned, andughed. ¡°Aw, I was only taking a look. Don¡¯t be jealous.¡±
¡°Humph. The problem is that your eyes were almost falling out as you looked. Is he that handsome?¡± But he had to admit that the guy was really quite handsome, especially after seeing his skills.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed foolishly, ¡°He¡¯s very handsome¡ Of course, you are the handsomest, but his handsomeness isn¡¯t the same as yours.¡±
¡°Stop looking. Let¡¯s go!¡± Yin Shaojie grabbed her and was prepared to leave.
Otherwise, he would be drowned in jealousy.
For some reason, there was an indescribable feeling of concern when he saw Mu Xiaoxiao looking at that guy.
Meanwhile, the policemen and others were also quite shocked upon seeing this person¡¯s appearance. On one hand, they were surprised at how handsome this person was. On the other hand, they never expected the helmeted man to be a youngster.
The policemen then turned to look at Yin Shaojie. They were green with envy.
Were youngsters all so impressive now?
Though they were shocked, the policeman still remembered to do their duty and said to the youngster, ¡°Please take your gun out. Where did you acquire your gun?¡±
The youngster looked at him indifferently. Instead of taking out the gun, he took out a wallet from his trouser pocket, took a notebook out from the wallet, and handed it over to him.
The policeman was startled. After taking it and ncing at it, his expression changed. Then he coughed and returned it to him. ¡°Well¡ It¡¯s okay now. You may go.¡±
The youngster didn¡¯t say a thing as he walked over to the heavy motorcycle, lifted it up, and straddled his long leg over the seat. The engine roared again, and the heavy motorcycle sped away.
The few boys from the Student Union were startled. ¡°What is this? What is that notebook? It¡¯s that useful?¡±
That was a gun, a real gun!
Not a water gun or a stic gun.
Even if it wasn¡¯t a real gun, it was still illegal to use a replica.
But they were sure that was definitely a real gun!
Yet the policemen just let him off like that?
They were very curious. What exactly was in the notebook that could be so useful?
Yin Shaojie was also slightly surprised. Drawing back his gaze, he said to them, ¡°He probably has a gun license.¡±
In other words, the youngster¡¯s gun was legal. Otherwise, the police wouldn¡¯t have let him off.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s mouth twitched, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Just who was this person?
He was actually able to obtain a gun license in China where carrying guns is illegal. It was most definitely not a license that ordinary people could obtain.
The boys from the Student Union were all astonished. ¡°What? A gun license? There¡¯s such a thing? Where can you get it?¡±
Yin Shaojie rolled his eyes at them. ¡°You can¡¯t get it even with lots of money. You guys can forget about getting one.¡±
ncing at policeman beside him, he took out his cell phone and asked them. ¡°Which district do you belong to?¡±
Seeing as he was going to make a call, the policeman seemed to have realized something as his attitude became more pleasant and he told him the name of their district.
Chapter 1047 - Memory Slowly Regained (6)
Chapter 1047: Memory Slowly Regained (6)
Yin Shaojie called, ¡°Is this Chief Zhang¡¡±
Upon hearing the name, the policeman¡¯s eyelids shook. Could he be calling¡
A few minutester, the chiefmander of their mission rushed over. Upon seeing Yin Shaojie, he said deferentially, ¡°Young Master Jie, I¡¯m sorry¡¡±
The policeman¡¯s eyelids trembled even more, and he gulped down saliva stressfully.
Fortunately, Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t going to make things difficult for anyone. He only said that he was very busy and could not give his statement.
The Chief Commander of course understood what he meant, quickly instructed his subordinates to let him go, and personally sent off Yin Shaojie¡¯s group.
The policemen were left looking at each other, dumbfounded.
Just what kind of powerful people had they encountered?
¡
Yin Shaojie and the others went to get their cars.
One of the boys from the Student Union rubbed his chin as he pondered, and he suddenly said, ¡°I have a feeling that I¡¯ve seen that the handsome guy somewhere before. Do any of you remember? Isn¡¯t he a student at St. Maria Institute?¡±
Hearing talk about the handsome guy, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ears pricked up unwittingly as she quietly moved closer to the boys.
Catching sight of her from the corner of his eye, Yin Shaojie reached out an arm and pulled her in, locking her in his grasp tightly. ¡°Our car is over there.¡±
¡°Hey! Wait!¡± She still wanted to continue listening.
The boys from the Student Union said goodbye to Yin Shaojie and went to their car.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t give her a chance to talk. He opened the door, stuffed her in, and fastened her seatbelt.
He mmed the door, went to the driver¡¯s seat, and drove off without saying a word.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes quietly turned to peek at him and her lips could hardly contain her smile. ¡°Are you still jealous?¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t say anything, concentrating on his driving.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and said, ¡°Are you mad at me?¡±
Yin Shaojie still didn¡¯t say a thing.
Mu Xiaoxiao tried to pacify him as she said, ¡°Don¡¯t be angry. I was only looking at that handsome guy for little lbit. Must you be so mad? Okay, okay. Next time, I won¡¯t look.¡±
However, she couldn¡¯t help but recall earlier when that guy rode off in his heavy motorcycle. The look of him from behind as he rode away was just too dashing!
However, Yin Shaojie still kept an emotionless expression.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips.
She wrapped her head in her arms and groaned, ¡°It hurts¡ My head hurts¡¡±
Yin Shaojie immediately turned to look at her. But thinking that she was feigning it, he snorted disdainfully at her for using such means.
He wasn¡¯t going to be fooled.
¡°It hurts¡ head¡ It really hurts! My head hurts!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao held her forehead tightly in her hand, her face grimacing in pain.
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help but look at her again. His brows furrowed, but he was still not fooled. ¡°Continue pretending. I¡¯m almost enjoying it.¡±
¡°Boohoo¡ It hurts for real¡ It hurts¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao cried out, holding her head in her hands.
Countless images flooded her mind, making her dizzy, and her temples stung painfully.
When Yin Shaojie saw her tears, he realized that something was wrong, and quickly pulled the car up to one side.
¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why is it suddenly hurting?¡± He looked at her, at a loss of what to do.
Under the streetlight, he could clearly see that her forehead was damp with cold sweat.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s heart was tense, especially as he wondered if it might have to do with her memory loss.
Chapter 1048 - Memory Slowly Regained (7)

Mu Xiaoxiao threw herself into his arms, her head pressing against him, whimpering as she said repeatedly, ¡°My head hurts¡ It hurts¡¡±
Yin Shaojie held her. When hisrge hand touched her face, his palm was covered in her cold sweat.
His hands became tense as he hugged her. He kissed her on her head and said, ¡°It¡¯s alright. I¡¯ll send you to the hospital right away.¡±
She was clearly fine just a moment ago. How did it turn out like this so suddenly?
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t have the time to think about it. After sitting her up straight, he started the car and drove to the hospital.
Fortunately, they weren¡¯t far from the hospital. But this journey, which usually took about a quick ten minutes of travel, felt like ages to him.
¡
In the ward, Mu Xiaoxiaoid on the white hospital bed. Her usual pink lips were pale.
Yin Shaojie sat on the side of the bed, holding her little hand, watching her worriedly as though he were afraid that she wouldn¡¯t wake up again.
The doctors words still rang in his ears.
¡°The situation doesn¡¯t look too good. The blood clot in the brain was initially dissipating. But now that she suddenly had a headache, there could be manyplications. Presently, we¡¯re not able to quickly examine it. It is hard to say whether it will have any effect on her condition. Perhaps, it might¡¡±
¡°Perhaps, it might what?¡± At that moment, his heart tensed up and he couldn¡¯t breathe.
¡°Perhaps¡ she might lose her memory again. A second memory loss. The memory that she had after the first incident may be lost, so you should be prepared.¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes darkened as he stared fixedly at Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little face. She was sleeping so soundly.
However, would she still remember him when she woke up?
At that moment, he only felt suffocated and tired inside.
Why did it suddenly turn out this way?
Everything seemed fine today. Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t hit her head. There was no reason for this to happen.
Could it be the foul air in the bar that agitated her brain?
He wanted to beat something with his fist but he was afraid of disturbing Mu Xiaoxiao so he could only clench his fist, his nails digging into his palms.
Just then, the cell phone in his pocket vibrated.
He quickly picked up the phone. It was Song Shijun.
Yin Shaojie was in a very depressed mood. After answering the call, he told Song Shijun the location of the ward.
Shortly, Song Shijun pushed open the door to the ward with something in his hand. He saw Mu Xiaoxiao lying on the hospital bed.
¡°Xiaoxiao. She¡¯s¡¡± Song Shijun¡¯s eyes were filled with worry as he asked, handing theptop over to him.
Song Shijun had received a sudden call from him to bring hisptop from the Yin residence.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t want to leave Xiaoxiao for even a second, and the condominium where he lived required his fingerprint for entry. Since hisptop was very important, he couldn¡¯t let anyone take it, so he had no choice but to call Song Shijun for help.
Yin Shaojie took theptop and put it aside. His tone was a little heavy as he said, ¡°Xiaoxiao isn¡¯t in good condition now. But don¡¯t tell Qiqing about this.¡±
¡°I got it¡¡± Song Shijun paused for a moment. He scratched his forehead, in a quandary as he said, ¡°But if Qiqing finds out that I¡¯m keeping things from her, she¡¯ll kill me!¡±
He knew how worried Qiqing was about Xiaoxiao¡¯s condition. Now that something happened to Xiaoxiao, it was okay if he didn¡¯t know, but if he hid it from Qiqing knowingly, Qiqing would definitely be mad when she found out about it. And he would be the first to bear the brunt of her anger.

Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Don¡¯t tell her about it for now. I¡¯ll think of something. She¡¯ll be fine.¡±
He spoke thest sentence to himself.
He took hisptop out from his bag and ced it on hisp.
Song Shijun looked around. Realizing that it was already quitete, he said, ¡°Shaojie, are you hungry? I¡¯ll go and get some food for you.¡±
He didn¡¯t need to think to know that since something had happened to Xiaoxiao, Yin Shaojie wouldn¡¯t leave her alone and would watch over her.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s fingers flew over the keyboard. After a few seconds, he looked up at Xiaoxiao and answered mildly, ¡°Okay.¡±
Even though Song Shijun didn¡¯t know what he was busy with, he guessed that it was probably due to Xiaoxiao. Not wanting to disturb him, he left.
Yin Shaojie wanted to look for L, but didn¡¯t get a reply, instead getting a response from another person.
¡ª¡ªL is at a critical juncture at this moment and has blocked off allmunication channels. Even I can¡¯t contact him. Just wait for two more days.
Yin Shaojie frowned and his gaze became heavy.
¡ª¡ªIt¡¯s urgent. Something has happened to my wife and I need his help.
Even though the brain doctor from this hospital was the best in the entire country, he still trusted his friend, L, more, for he knew how capable L was.
However, what could he do now that he couldn¡¯t contact him?
The other person sounded helpless.
¡ª¡ªThere¡¯s no helping it. With this guy¡¯s personality, even if the sky falls and the world ends, he won¡¯t be distracted when his experiment is at a critical juncture. Even if you were able to contact him now, he wouldn¡¯t leave hisb.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s heart sank.
Even if he wanted to, bringing Xiaoxiao to L¡¯s country wasn¡¯t a possibility. Moreover, Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t in a state to be moved right now.
Was waiting the only thing he could do?
Yin Shaojie pinched the space between his eyebrows in anguish, and a helplessness overcame him.
Was he really unable to do anything?
He lifted his dark eyes and looked at Mu Xiaoxiao on the bed with a downcast gaze, watching her sleeping face.
In contrast to his anxiety, she looked peaceful.
Unable to help himself, he reached out and touched her cheek. The soft sensation felt good.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze was full of misery.
He was unable to imagine what would happen if she woke up and asked him, ¡°Who are you?¡± again.
This memory loss episode, however, made him realize that even though she had forgotten him, her love for him had already sunk within her subconscious.
Even though she had lost her memory, she was still Mu Xiaoxiao, and she still liked him.
However¡
A sh of pain passed through Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes. He really didn¡¯t want to go through this again. The feeling of being forgotten by someone one he loved was too painful and terrible.
He ced hisptop to the side, reached out to hold her hand, and kissed it.
He called out her name softly.
¡°Xiaoxiao¡ Xiaoxiao¡ You have to remember me. Don¡¯t forget me again, understand?¡±
¡°You must never, never forget me again. I won¡¯t allow it, do you hear?¡±
¡°Xiaoxiao¡¡±
¡
¡°Xiaoxiao? Where are you?¡±
In the little garden in the vi, there was someone calling her name.
The little girl ran towards a particr direction and her little figure disappeared quickly, causing the person looking for her to be unable to see her.
She saw a little boy squatting on the ground doing something as she walked to a corner.
The little girl ran over, giggling. Bending her little legs, she squatted beside him.

¡°What are you doing?¡± she asked in a soft voice.
The little boy lifted his head. His handsome face looked happily surprised as he asked, ¡°Xiaoxiao, how did you know I was here?¡±
¡°Hehe, I guessed it! What are you doing?¡± The little girl craned her neck and looked at what was in front of him. However, there was nothing there other than grass.
Could he be plucking the grass?
But what was so fun about grass?
The little girl blinked herrge eyes uprehendingly.
The little boy¡¯s gaze was mysterious. ¡°I can¡¯t tell you that. I¡¯ll give it to you once I find it.¡±
The girl¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Eh! You¡¯re gifting it to me?¡±
The little boy realized that he had exposed himself. ¡°Aiyoh, can you pretend that you don¡¯t know? We¡¯ll talk about it after I find it.¡±
¡°No! What is it? Since you¡¯re going to give it to me just tell me.¡± The little girl¡¯s curiosity was piqued. Her cute little arms wrapped around his and shook him cutely.
Helpless, the little boy said, ¡°Okay, okay, I¡¯ll tell you.¡±
He pointed to the grass in front and said, ¡°I¡¯m looking for a four-leaf clover.¡±
¡°Four-leaf clover? What¡¯s that? Can it be eaten?¡± The little girl asked as she touched her fingers to her touch, looking like a little glutton.
The little boyughed, amused. He shook his head and said, ¡°You¡¯re so dumb. Of course it can¡¯t be eaten. You¡¯re not a littlemb. I saw on TV that if you find this four-leaf clover, you can make a wish and it wille true.¡±
¡°Wow! It¡¯s that powerful? Can it grant any wish?¡± the little girl asked delightedly, her little fingers searching the ground.
¡°Where is it? Where is the four-leaf clover? I want to look for it too. What does it look like?¡±
The little boy picked a three-leaf clover and showed it to her. ¡°It looks like this, but the four-leaf clover has four leaves and this only has three leaves, so it doesn¡¯t count. Only one with four leaves is a four-leaf clover.¡±
¡°Got it! I¡¯ll look for it with you then!¡± the little girl beamed as she said. She started to pick the grass, trying to find a four-leaf clover.
The little boy stopped her hurriedly. ¡°You can¡¯t do that!¡±
The little girl¡¯s eyes shed with innocence. ¡°What did I do wrong?¡±
The little boy said, ¡°You can¡¯t pick the other grass. It¡¯s not good. Let¡¯s spot the four-leaf clover before picking it.¡±
¡°Oh, got it!¡± The little girl nodded as she answered. Imitating him, she squatted down low, her little pink and chubby cheeks almost touching the grass.
The pair searched for an indeterminate length of time. They still couldn¡¯t find any when the sun started to set.
The little girl was tired. nting her butt on the ground, she said, ¡°I¡¯m so tired. Why can¡¯t we find any?¡±
The little boy sat by her side, his handsome face a little dejected. ¡°The TV said that four-leaf clovers are very hard to find and can only be found if it is destined by fate.¡±
¡°Oh, I see. Should we stop trying to find it since it¡¯s so hard to find? I¡¯m hungry¡¡± The little girl pursed her lips. Even though she really wanted to find four-leaf clovers to make wishes¡ª she had many, many things she wanted to wish for¡ª she was now hungry. Her desire for food took priority, and thus the only thing she thought about was eating.
The little boy shook his head, his handsome face determined as he said, ¡°I want to keep looking. You can go and eat. I¡¯ll look for it myself.¡±

The little girl asked curiously, ¡°Why must you find it? Can¡¯t you do it next time?¡±
¡°Because¡¡± The little boy looked at her. ¡°I want to make a wish.¡±
¡°What wish?¡± The little girl looked at him with herrge eyes.
¡°My wish is ¡¡± The little boy paused and pursed his lips before saying, ¡°I want you to be happy. Weren¡¯t you unhappy today? You even cried. I don¡¯t want to see you cry. I want to make a wish so you will never cry and will be happy every day.¡±
Upon hearing this answer, the little girl beamed happily and leapt forward, wrapping her arms around his neck.
¡°You¡¯re so good to me!¡±
The little boynded, sitting on the ground. Afraid that she would fall, he hugged her with his hands.
The little girl giggled and said to him, ¡°I¡¯m really happy! I¡¯m super happy! So, we don¡¯t have to look for the four-leaf clover anymore. Let¡¯s go eat!¡±
Rising, she held his little hand and pulled him forward.
¡°Are you really happy?¡± he still asked as he turned his handsome face back towards the patch of three-leaf clovers hesitantly.
The little girl nodded vigorously. ¡°Yeah, yeah! I¡¯m super, super happy! I like to hang out with you the most, so of course I¡¯m happy.¡±
The sun was setting and the orange-red sunlight made long shadows of their two little figures.
¡°Eh?¡± The little girl stopped just as they were about to walk towards the vi. Her grape-like pupils looked at him confused as she said, ¡°That¡ What¡¯s your name? I seem to have forgotten.¡±
The little boy looked at her, looking unhappy as he frowned. ¡°How could you forget my name?¡±
The little girl apologized hurriedly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Can you tell me your name? I keep having the feeling that I¡¯m forgetting something important. So hurry up and tell me! What¡¯s your name?¡±
¡°I¡¯m¡ ¡± The little boy opened his mouth slightly.
¡ª¡ª-
In the ward.
On the bed, Mu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes suddenly.
Her gaze was a little confused, and her brow furrowed because of the pain in her head.
She felt as though she had been dreaming for a very long dream¡
There were many scenes filling her mind. Because there were so many, her brain couldn¡¯t load all of them, and now that she was awake she forgot what she had dreamt.
Her vision was fuzzy. Turning her head instinctively, she saw a handsome face close by.
This handsome face looked very familiar.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at this face steadily and called out unconsciously, ¡°Yin Shaojie¡¡±
This greeting seemed to restore all her memories.
Her eyes lit up and she called out in a hoarse voice again, ¡°Yin Shaojie.¡±
Yin Shaojie, who was lying prone by the bed, woke violently, and lifted his head instantly.
The pair¡¯s gaze met and they stared steadily at each other.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled, looking like a flower which had freshly bloomed in spring. ¡°Yin Shaojie, I¡¯m hungry. I want to eat.¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s pupils quivered. ¡°You¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. ¡°What¡¯s the time now? Why am I so hungry? Aiyoh, I¡¯m going to die of hunger. Hurry up and make me something to eat.¡±
She looked around, and it was only then that she realized that she was in the hospital. Puzzled, she asked, ¡°Eh? Why am I here?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s dark eyes were locked on her face, as though he were afraid that he was in a dream.
He wasn¡¯t dreaming, was he?
She was really¡

Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. She thought his gaze looked weird. Why was he looking at her like this? His eyes looked really¡
Her heart quivered as she asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice was stuck in his throat. Reaching out, he touched her face before pulling her close suddenly and nting a firm kiss on her lips.
Mu Xiaoxiao pushed him away with a p. ring at him, she said, ¡°Hey, why did you kiss me suddenly?¡±
However, Yin Shaojieughed at her familiar tone and enveloped her in his long arms.
¡°You¡¯re finally back¡¡±
¡°Why?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao let him hug her but didn¡¯t push him away. Looking around their surroundings, she asked, ¡°Jie, how did I end up in the hospital?¡±
Yin Shaojie now felt a happiness as intense as his previous sorrow. He continued to hug her, swaying side by side, evidently overjoyed.
¡°Hey, tell me!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pped his back. However, she couldn¡¯t help but smile at his happiness as well.
It was only then that Yin Shaojie released her. Smiling, he asked, ¡°You don¡¯t remember?¡±
Seeing her like this made him wonder if she had already forgotten about the things that happened after her memory loss.
It didn¡¯t matter, however. What was important was that her memory was back.
Mu Xiaoxiao cocked her head and thought. Shaking her head, she said, ¡°I can¡¯t remember¡ What happened? Aish, why can¡¯t I remember anything? I don¡¯t remember how I ended up here at the hospital.¡±
She frowned as she propped her forehead with her hand and thought hard, feeling as though she had lost an important part of her memory.
Yin Shaojie hugged her head, his heart aching for her. Kissing her forehead, he said gently, ¡°It¡¯s okay if you can¡¯t remember. There wasn¡¯t anything serious that happened anyway. The most important thing is that you¡¯re awake and okay.¡±
He continued kissing her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was thinking of things and didn¡¯t have time to make out with him and thus put out a hand to block him.
¡°Stop kissing. I¡¯m thinking about things. I feel like I¡¯ve forgotten a very important thing¡¡±
¡°Stop thinking about it. I¡¯m the most important to you, so there¡¯s no point in thinking about other things. I forbid you from thinking!¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s tyrannical attitude had returned. Reaching out, he cupped her little cheeks and lifted her head up to look at him.
He lowered his head at the same time and leaned forward to give her a peck on her lips.
The two smiled as they looked at each other.
Mu Xiaoxiao gave him a helpless gaze. ¡°Tell me how I got into the hospital then. Was I hurt? Or was I sick?¡±
Actually, it wasn¡¯t that she couldn¡¯t remember anything, but that there were too many images in her head. She couldn¡¯t arrange them clearly for a moment, and thus couldn¡¯t recall any urate images.
Before she had woken up¡ What had happened?
Mu Xiaoxiao sunk into deep thought again.
Suddenly, she remembered something.
¡°Ah! I remember now! Su Lin! Did Su Lin¡ I remember there was an explosion¡ So I got hurt? Where am I hurt?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao remembered this suddenly and lowered her head, touching herself and trying to find where she had been hurt.
Yin Shaojie tugged at her hand. ¡°Your body is fine, but¡ you were hurt here.¡±
He pointed to her head with his finger.
Mu Xiaoxiao touched a hand to her head. ¡°No wonder¡ it feels like there¡¯s a mild pain in my head. Was I hurt badly?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression froze. With a serious face, he said, ¡°It was quite serious.¡±
She had lost her memory. Not only had she forgotten him, she also forgot about everything that had happened between them for the past ten years. How was that not serious?

Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face fell and she asked worriedly, ¡°What will happen now? Will it affect my intelligence?¡±
She didn¡¯t want it to!
She didn¡¯t want to be dumb.
Yin Shaojie put on a grave expression. Sighing, he nodded slightly and said, ¡°That might happen. However, you don¡¯t have to worry about that because you didn¡¯t have much to begin with.¡±
¡°Hey!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao reacted this time and reached out to hit him. ¡°I dare you to say it again!¡±
Yin Shaojie sniggered devilishly, which caused Mu Xiaoxiao to hit him once more.
He wrapped herrge hand in his and pacified her. ¡°I¡¯m in the wrong, I¡¯m in the wrong, happy? You¡¯re the smartest. Our Xiaoxiao is the smartest of all.¡±
He even pulled her hand towards his lips and gave it a little kiss as he said this.
Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t used to this kind of behavior from him. She felt a little grossed out and pulled her hand back, looking a little embarrassed.
She asked, ¡°What about Su Lin and Feng Shengyang? Are they okay?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked unhappy at her mention of Feng Shengyang. ¡°Are you concerned about him?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. ¡°I was just asking. Su Lin was standing closer to the explosion than I did. I wonder if she¡¯s okay.¡±
Upon knowing that she was more concerned about Su Lin, Yin Shaojie¡¯s jealousy faded.
¡°Su Lin¡¯s injuries were worse. She was still in the hospital when you were already discharged. However, she should be in Ennd now.¡± He only gave a brief answer without much detail.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t take in the part about being discharged. She had just awoken so when did she get out of the hospital? Her attention was on thest sentence.
¡°Ennd? Is she there for treatment? Or¡¡±
Yin Shaojie looked into her eyes. After pondering for a while, he grasped her hand tightly and exined to her, ¡°I arranged for her to go there. Didn¡¯t we originally want to send her to America? But I thought of how your home is in America, so it seemed better to send her to another country. Her injuries are not healed yet, and I told Uncle Su and the rest to send her there before she wakes up. I¡¯ve also arranged a mental hospital to treat her.¡±
Of course, Su Lin was now a dangerous person and couldn¡¯t undergo the same treatment as before. She could only remain in that country and couldn¡¯t leave it unless permitted by him.
Mu Xiaoxiao remembered Su Lin¡¯s madness and felt a lingering fear in her heart.
Just then, her stomach growled.
She reached out to touch her stomach. After throwing her thoughts of other people to the back of her head, she told Yin Shaojie, ¡°I¡¯m so hungry. Is there anything to eat?¡±
She looked at the time and it was only then that she realized that it was past three in the morning.
How was there still food at this time?
Yin Shaojie rxed, feeling hungry as well.
However, he didn¡¯t want to leave her side.
After thinking about it, he asked, ¡°What do you want to eat? I¡¯ll get someone to cook it.¡±
¡°Get someone to cook?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. Were they not going to order food?
Yin Shaojie chuckled and said, ¡°I¡¯ll get the cook at home to whip something up and send it over. What do you want to eat?¡±
¡°Surely we don¡¯t have to trouble them?¡±
¡°It won¡¯t be troublesome. Hurry up and tell me what you want to eat. I¡¯m very hungry too.¡±
Upon hearing the word ¡°hungry,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s stomach growled again. She then named a few dishes she wanted to have.
After calling the Yin Shaojie residence he stood up to pour her a cup of water.

When he returned to Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s bedside, he saw her staring into space, not even blinking his eyes.
¡°What are you thinking about?¡± he asked. He felt a little beleaguered now and upon noticing that she was acting slightly off, he became afraid that the blood clot in her brain had not disappeared entirely. Was she going to lose her memory again?
Even though they had hung out together and had plenty of sweet moments during the period of time that she had lost her memory, he really didn¡¯t want to experience it all over again.
Mu Xiaoxiao tutted, evidently frustrated.
She frowned as she said, ¡°I don¡¯t know why but I keep having the feeling that I¡¯ve forgotten something important. Oh yeah, did anything happen when I was unconscious?¡±
Yin Shaojie was speechless.
He deliberated for a while before hedging, ¡°When you were unconscious¡ Nothing happened.¡±
Yin Shaojie felt a little conflicted. He didn¡¯t know if he should tell her about her memory loss.
If she remembered what he had done to her during the period of her memory loss¡
With his understanding of her personality she would definitely be angry.
However, what he said was true anyway. Nothing happened during the time when she was unconscious and the memory loss incident only happened after she regained consciousness, so he hadn¡¯t lied. Yin Shaojieforted himself with this.
¡
The next day.
Worried that there might still be traces of the blood clot in Xiaoxiao¡¯s brain, Yin Shaojie let the hospital do another thorough check. It was only after ascertaining that she was alright that he took her out of the hospital.
Mu Xiaoxiao hated the smell of the hospital, and didn¡¯t want to stay there for a second longer.
Mama Yin wanted him to bring Xiaoxiao back to the Yin residence so that Xiaoxiao could be taken care of. She could also make good food for Xiaoxiao and nurse her.
However, since Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s head felt dizzy and heavy, and she felt like going home to sleep so they went back to the condominium directly.
Upon returning to the condominium, Mu Xiaoxiao breathed in its familiar smell. After changing into slippers, she walked towards the sofa and threw herself onto it as usual.
Shey t on the sofa, feelingzy.
¡°I¡¯m thirsty. I want to drink something,¡± her voice called out.
Yin Shaojie looked at the girl, who was lying down like a princess. He then walked over to the fridge, took out the water, and ced it on the coffee table.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao took one look at it and pouted. ¡°I don¡¯t want to drink mineral water. I want to drink fruit juice.¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s mood was extraordinarily good today and he didn¡¯t argue with her. He went to get a can of fruit juice for her.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat up, grinning. She hugged a cushion with one hand and reached out to drink the fruit juice with the other.
After drinking two mouthfuls of it, she didn¡¯t feel like having any more. Putting it down, she sighed, ¡°Home is the mostfortable ce.¡±
Her pupils darted around. ¡°I¡¯m still sick, so can I stay at home to rest and skip school for a few days?¡±
Yin Shaojie knew that her memory loss was something that he couldn¡¯t conceal from her and he had been thinking of how he would break it to her.
Upon hearing this, he simply said, ¡°You can stay at home and rest if you want to.¡±
She had just recovered and her head still hurt asionally. He wouldn¡¯t let her go to school even if she wanted to.
Mu Xiaoxiao beamed as she whooped, ¡°Yeah! I¡¯ll take a few rest days then!¡±
She groaned as she lifted her hands and stretched, before getting off the sofa and walking towards the bedroom.
¡°I¡¯ll go take a shower first. I smell like the hospital and it¡¯s gross. After showering I¡¯ll take a good nap!¡±
She wanted to jump onto the bed after her arrival at home. However, she smelled like the hospital and didn¡¯t want to transfer the smell to the bed.

Sitting on the sofa, Yin Shaojie put his arm across the back of the sofa and he asked her, ¡°What do you want to eat for lunch? I¡¯ll inform them in advance so that they can bring it here on time.¡±
¡°Anything,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said casually because she was toozy to think about it.
Anyways, he knew her preferences.
Mu Xiaoxiao entered the cloakroom, took her pajamas, and walked into the washroom.
A few minutester.
Yin Shaojie was holding his cell phone, looking as if he was ying games or doing something else when he suddenly heard Xiaoxiao¡¯s screaming from the bathroom.
He was immediately thrown into a state of worry as he quickly rushed over, banging on the door, asking, ¡°Xiaoxiao? What¡¯s the matter? What happened?¡±
It was quiet inside. Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t answer him.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s heart became even more tensed up, afraid that she might have fallen down in the shower. What if she hit her head and lost her memory again?
He banged on the door even more forcefully. ¡°Xiaoxiao? Talk to me! Are you okay? Whether you¡¯re okay or not, talk to me!¡±
After a while, the door opened.
Yin Shaojie instinctively leaned forward. Unexpectedly, a little hand grabbed his cor.
¡°Yin Shaojie!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little face was serious as she howled at him.
Yin Shaojie was stunned. Studying her expression, he guessed what was going on.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face flushed as she red at him, her other hand hitting him in a huff, ¡°You perverted liar! I remember everything. When I lost my memory, you lied and told me¡ you told me¡¡±
She couldn¡¯t finish the sentence as her little face became even redder.
When she was taking a shower in the misty bathroom, she applied the shower gel onto her body. As she rubbed her hands over her body, embarrassing images surfaced in her mind.
Then, she was stunned as memories from after she had lost her memory slowly came back to her little by little.
She recalled that he had tricked her, saying that she had always called him hubby and that they often showered together.
When they were showering together, he had persuaded her into helping him wash¡
Mu Xiaoxiao simply couldn¡¯t dwell on it anymore as her ears were all red.
Hearing that, Yin Shaojie knew that she had remembered and was unsure whether tough or to cry. ¡°Do you remember?¡±
If that was the case, he wouldn¡¯t need to think about how he should broach this matter to her then.
Mu Xiaoxiao clenched her little fist, gripping his cor as she red at him.
However, the difference in height made her less scary.
Yin Shaojieughed, spreading his hands open as he said roguishly, ¡°I didn¡¯t trick you, did I? I am your husband and you did call me ¡®hubby¡¯, didn¡¯t you? And about the shower¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t talk about the shower!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao howled to him, embarrassed.
At the mention of showers, the memory of what they did that day clearly surfaced in her mind. The two were even naked in the bathtub¡
Stop thinking! Stop thinking!
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little face was very red. ring at Yin Shaojie, her eyes were bright and ck.
Yin Shaojie only thought that she looked very cute this way.
His lips curled up in a sinister smile. His arm stretched out and kabedonned her against the door frame. ¡°Did you recall what we did in the bathroom that day? And what we did in the bathtub¡¡±
And after that, they were on the bed and almost took thest step.
Although they didn¡¯t go through with it, they used another method¡
As Yin Shaojie thought about those moments his gaze became hot as he stared at her little face. His sexy throat worked up and down, and he said in a husky voice, ¡°Why don¡¯t we wash ourselves again?¡±
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Everyone!!! ?? ?? ?? ??

Mu Xiaoxiao was embarrassed upon hearing those words.
She lowered herself and escaped from his kabedon. Then she tried to push him out, snapping at him, ¡°You wish! You think I¡¯m so easily fooled? Go away!¡±
She couldn¡¯t push away Yin Shaojie, especially when he didn¡¯t want to be pushed away.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t get him to budge no matter how hard she tried.
¡°Didn¡¯t you forget everything when you woke up in the hospital? How did you suddenly remember?¡± he asked as he watched her curiously.
It was just like when she recovered her memory. She seemed to regain her memory without showing any prior signs.
¡°How would I know? I was just going to take a shower when I suddenly recalled it.¡± She curled her lips, her finger pointing at him as she said, ¡°I¡¯m telling you Yin Shaojie. I remember now the things that you have done to me. Don¡¯t think I will let you off for tricking me like that! Humph!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stepped back, pulled the door and red at him. ¡°Go away. I¡¯m closing the door. I don¡¯t want to see you.¡±
It was because of him that she had to pause her shower. Now she had to resume her shower.
Yin Shaojie looked at her, feeling resigned. He had no choice but to retreat.
¡°Then¡¡±
Just when he was about to say something, the door mmed shut before him.
Yin Shaojie touched the dust on his nose and sighed.
This wretch seemed really angry. What should he do to cate her?
He thought for a moment. The first thought that came to mind was Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s favorite strawberry cake.
This wretch was a good-for-nothing chowhound. She would definitely feel better after he bought nice food for her to eat especially if it was her favorite strawberry cake. That would make it easier to cate her, right?
As he mulled over that idea, Yin Shaojie looked at the door before turning back to the living room.
He picked up the wallet and left the apartment.
About ten minutester.
Yin Shaojie came back carrying a box of cake, put on his slippers, and went to the living room but there was no one around.
Could it be that Xiaoxiao was still showering?
He ced the cake on the coffee table and went to the washroom but he realized that the door was open. There was no one inside.
He went to the bedroom. Again, no one.
Then, his brows furrowed. He quickly searched through the other rooms but he still couldn¡¯t find Xiaoxiao anywhere. He then realized that there was a problem.
He returned to the living room, picked up his cell phone, and called Mu Xiaoxiao.
It rang once before the call was disconnected.
He called again. This time, his call was cklisted.
Damn! He cried inwardly. It seemed that she was really angry. She actually took the chance to run away when he was not around.
He stared at the time. Then he suddenly ran out.
He had only been out for ten minutes. She could not have gone far.
He was always the one to drive her when they went out. People who could afford to live here in one of the most expensive districts of City A all had cars, so very few taxis appear around here.
As he calcted, Yin Shaojie quickly reached the first floor, and he even questioned the security guard about her.
Sure enough, Mu Xiaoxiao had only just left. She probably took the elevator down just as he was going up on the other elevator.
Yin Shaojie ran out as soon as he got his answer.
The weather was very fine today. The sun was bright and beautiful.
He determined the likely direction that Mu Xiaoxiao could have gone in. As he ran in that direction, he looked to the left and right, not letting any trace of her slip by him.

After running past a patch of grass, Yin Shaojie suddenly stopped in his tracks. He looked around earnestly, as though he had felt something, his sharp dark eyes darting around, searching for any clues.
However, he could still find no sign of Mu Xiaoxiao in the end and thus could only continue running.
Just then, a little head popped out from the grass and it stared at Yin Shaojie in the distance with its dark, bright eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao patted her chest guiltily. ¡°Good thing I ran fast.¡±
She hunched over, preparing to walk away in the opposite direction.
However, she paused suddenly, an idea appearing in her head. She looked in the direction Yin Shaojie went in.
After thinking for a while, she followed him in secret.
She tried to keep her distance as she followed him such that she would be able to see Yin Shaojie but he wouldn¡¯t be able to notice that she was following him.
Seeing Yin Shaojie so anxious made Mu Xiaoxiao chuckle. She was quite happy that he was so worried about her.
There was a sudden disturbance in front.
A crowd of people were squeezed together in a circle.
Yin Shaojie stopped in his tracks and he heard the voices in front.
¡°This driver isn¡¯t human at all! How could he do a hit-and-run?¡±
¡°I know, right? Has someone called the police already? Get an ambnce too. This kid is bleeding very profusely and I don¡¯t know if she¡¯ll survive. Does anyone want to go up and check if she¡¯s still breathing?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t dare to. There¡¯s so much blood on the ground that it¡¯s scary.¡±
¡°She¡¯s too pitiful. This child is so pretty, but she looks like that now¡ Is her leg¡ broken? Her face is ruined too. Her injuries look serious.¡±
Upon hearing this, Yin Shaojie felt the blood in his body drain.
Could that be Xiaoxiao¡
His heart seemed as though it were being gripped tightly, to the point where even breathing hurt.
¡°It isn¡¯t her¡ It isn¡¯t her¡¡± He muttered, his handsome face a little pale.
However, he still walked over. Pushing the crowd away, he looked at the person on the ground.
After looking at her clearly, Yin Shaojie closed his eyes, the tightness in his chest rxing.
Luckily, it wasn¡¯t Xiaoxiao.
He squeezed out of the crowd, but the color in his face was still pale and he looked as if he were sick.
When she saw his face, Mu Xiaoxiao, who had been hiding behind a tree, realized that he had mistaken the person on the ground as her.
Her nose twinged and she pursed her lips.
¡°This idiot¡¡±
Looking at his face made her suddenly feel bad. She wanted to go out and tell him that she was perfectly fine.
Yin Shaojie borrowed a phone from a passerby and called her again.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s phone rang and she jumped. She was afraid that he would hear the ring tone and discover her hiding spot.
She was about to end the call before her finger froze and she decided to answer the call.
¡°Hey! Mu Xiaoxiao, where are you?¡± Yin Shaojie was panting as he asked anxiously.
Mu Xiaoxiao leaned against the tree. Eyes darting around, she thought for a while and finally spoke, ¡°I¡¯m okay, I¡¯m fine. I just want to have some alone time. Don¡¯t look for me, okay?¡±
On the other side of the phone Yin Shaojie seemed to have realized something because he looked around, trying to find something.
However, he didn¡¯t expose her, but said gently, ¡°Sure. Where are you going? Can you tell me? Can you at least let me see that you¡¯re safe? If not, I¡¯ll be worried to death.¡±
Upon hearing thest sentence, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart almost softened.

It was only because she was clenching her fist that she didn¡¯te out. She stammered, ¡°I¡ I can tell you, but you can¡¯te look for me.¡±
¡°Okay,¡± Yin Shaojie replied.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a while. She hadn¡¯t been thinking when she had ran out, so she hadn¡¯t thought of where to run.
¡°I¡ might be going to Qiqing¡¯s house. I¡¯ll tell you when I arrive.¡±
Just then, a car drove past her. Because the crowd surrounding the scene of the ident was blocking the road, the driver sounded his horn.
He heard the sound of the horn from his phone.
Yin Shaojie looked up immediately and stared at a tree in front of him.
He walked towards it with his long legs.
¡°Alright. Are you in the car already? Be careful. I¡¯m worried that your head might hurt again.¡±
He closed in on the tree as he spoke.
Finally, he arrived at the tree. However, when he reached the back of the tree, Mu Xiaoxiao was nowhere to be found.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze sank.
Could it be that he had guessed incorrectly?
That was impossible. Yin Shaojie was confident in his analyzing skills and intuition.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao was hiding behind a tree opposite the road. Upon noticing that Yin Shaojie was walking over, she hid on the other side of the tree so that he wouldn¡¯t be able to see her.
It was lucky that she was quick-witted. Afraid that his sharp eyes would find her, she had walked to the opposite side of the road.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t dare to peek out from behind the tree for fear that he would find her.
She said hurriedly, ¡°I¡¯m going to hang up. I¡¯m getting into the car.¡±
She was about to end the call when she heard Yin Shaojie shout, ¡°Wait! I still have something to tell you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, but still didn¡¯t have the heart to hang up. ¡°What?¡± she asked.
¡°Are you really angry?¡± Yin Shaojie asked.
He nced to the left and right of the road, trying to see where she could be hiding.
The passersby by the road noticed this handsome boy. His features were already eye-catching and now that he was acting weird, there were plenty of people who were looking at him.
Two courageous girls walked up to him. ¡°Are you looking for something?¡± they whispered.
Yin Shaojie was waiting for Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s answer, and nodded to the girls politely.
Upon receiving his acknowledgment, the girls became even more infatuated and they stomped on the ground excitedly.
¡°We can help you. Do you want our help?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao heard the voices of the girls through her phone and couldn¡¯t help but peek out from behind the tree. She saw two girls dressed in youthful attire. They looked like they were from the nearby middle school judging by their uniforms.
She admitted a little jealousy, ¡°I¡¯m angry, I¡¯m really angry! Humph!¡±
Suddenly, she couldn¡¯t tell what she was angry about.
Was she angry about him lying to her when she had memory loss or because he was being hit on by girls now.
Yin Shaojie turned around and almost saw Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s head peeking out from behind the tree. Luckily, a car drove past her, blocking his view.
He muffled his phone and whispered to the two girls, ¡°I¡¯m looking for my girlfriend who¡¯s angry at me. Can you help me search for her?¡±
Even though the girls looked a little sorry, they still nodded enthusiastically.
¡°Sure. What does your friend look like?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes were gentle as he said to them, ¡°She¡¯s really pretty. Her height¡ is about here. Anyway, she¡¯s really beautiful. If you see a beautiful girl, it¡¯s her.¡±
¡°Okay, we¡¯ll help you look for her.¡±
Thus, the girls split up and started their search.

Chapter 1059: Yin Shaojie, You¡¯re Dead Meat! (8)
Yin Shaojie stopped covering the cell phone and said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Can you tell me why are you angry?¡±
¡°You don¡¯t even know why I¡¯m angry?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said gloomily.
Yin Shaojie asked, ¡°Are you angry at me for tricking you when you lost your memory?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was silent.
Looking grave, Yin Shaojie suddenly realized that the reason that she had gotten angry didn¡¯t seem to be so simple.
¡°What else?¡± he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mood turned sour as she said gloomily, ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk to you. Stop looking for me, okay?¡±
Yin Shaojie sighed. No longer pretending, he asked her bluntly, ¡°You¡¯re near me, right? You know that I ran out to find you, right? Where are you?¡±
The two girls went around to look but couldn¡¯t find her, so they came back to report to him.
Yin Shaojie thanked them with a nod.
Just then, one of the girls tugged at the other girl and said, ¡°Could she be over there?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked up across the road and noticed a street sweeper looking curiously behind a tree.
Was that wretch hiding there?
He said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°It¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t answer me. I¡¯m going to you now.¡±
With that said, he strode forward.
The girl behind him shouted anxiously, ¡°It¡¯s a red light! There¡¯s lots of cars. Don¡¯t cross!¡±
Behind the tree, Mu Xiaoxiao heard her amidst the noises of traffic behind her. Her heart suddenly became tense. She finally couldn¡¯t hide anymore and ran out worriedly.
Sure enough, she saw Yin Shaojieing towards her, simply ignoring the cars passing by him.
¡°Watch the cars! What are you doing?!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao anxiously shouted at him, looking very worried.
On several asions cars passed by Yin Shaojie, missing him by a hair¡¯s breadth.
But Yin Shaojie¡¯s countenance was calm as the pair of inky ck eyes stared at her, totally ignoring the passing traffic.
Mu Xiaoxiao was infuriated and she strained her voice as she scolded him, ¡°Yin Shaojie, are you crazy? This is very dangerous!¡±
Finally, Yin Shaojie walked up to her.
He was unscathed.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes turned red. Flustered and exasperated, she scolded him, ¡°What the hell are you doing! What if you get hit by a car! Are you an idiot? Did water get into your brain?¡±
She became more infuriated as she scolded him and she beat her little fist against his sturdy chest.
Yin Shaojie looked at her fixedly. There was no smile on his face. ¡°What about you? You ran out without telling me. Have you ever thought about how I feel?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s chest rose and fell, his ck eyes riveted to her little face as he said, ¡°There was a car ident earlier. You saw that, right? Do you know how I felt when I thought that you had been killed?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao said nothing. Biting her lip, she looked away but her eyes were red.
¡°You can be angry. It¡¯s not that I won¡¯t let you be angry. But even if you¡¯re angry, you can¡¯t act like this. Can¡¯t you just talk to me? If you¡¯re angry, you can hit me and berate me. When have I ever fought back?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s tone became softer.
Chapter 1060 - Yin Shaojie, You’re Dead Meat! (9)
Chapter 1060: Yin Shaojie, You¡¯re Dead Meat! (9)
Mu Xiaoxiao hung her head, perhaps because she knew that she had done wrong.
Yin Shaojie knew that she tended to be obstinate. He reached out and held her in his arms tightly. The nice curve of his thin lips pressed against her ear, and he said in a deep voice, ¡°Alright. Let¡¯s go home. You can talk to me if there¡¯s anything you¡¯re angry about, okay?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pressed her cheek against his chest. She could clearly feel the rise and fall of his chest and the sound of his heartbeat.
The sound of his heartbeat was her favorite thing to listen to.
Listening to it, she felt much calmer.
However, her little head still shook in his arms as she said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to go home¡¡±
¡°Where do you want to go then?¡± Yin Shaojie went along with her. It was as if he would apany her no matter where she wanted to go.
Across the road, the two girls watched as they embraced each other and they were green with envy.
¡°How romantic. How great it would be if only I had such a handsome and loving boyfriend.¡±
¡°Exactly. What should we do? I feel like snatching him. But he loves his girlfriend so much. I don¡¯t think there¡¯s any chance for anyone else.¡±
¡°Come to think of it, it feels like I¡¯ve seen him somewhere before.¡±
¡°Yeah, I think so too. But I just can¡¯t rem¡ Ah! I remember now! He¡¯s Shangde¡¯s school hunk. Shangde High¡¯s school hunk! Gosh! He¡¯s really handsome in person!¡±
¡°Ah ah ah! Right, right, right! And he¡¯s also the heir to one of the Big Four Families. That¡¯s odd. I clearly remember reading on the Inte that he was a yboy, and had lots of girlfriends. Why¡ does he feel different?¡±
¡°Maybe he met his true love! I envy this girl¡¡±
¡°Aw. I want to enter Shangde too.¡±
¡°Me too.¡±
There were already some people crowding around to watch. But upon hearing their conversation, the gossiper in these onlookers came to life as they started talking amongst themselves. Some of them lived nearby and had seen Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao before.
¡°They seem to be living together. I used to think that they were siblings. They¡¯re only in high school, yet they are already living together. Kids nowadays¡¡±
¡°The rich are just different. Is this a case of having a magnificent house to keep a beloved woman in?¡±
¡°This girl is really beautiful. She would definitely be more popr than the current female celebrities if she became famous. And she seems like a natural born beauty. To be so pretty without putting on makeup is a rare sight.¡±
¡°Look at how bad the girl is crying. The guy isn¡¯t bullying her, is he? Or could she be pregnant, and the boy doesn¡¯t want to be responsible for it?¡±
¡°Not necessarily. The boy is so handsome. He must be quite a yer. Perhaps he¡¯s cheating on her. Otherwise, why would his girlfriend cry like that?¡±
¡°Oh my. Or could he have been caught in the act? He brought a mistress home and was caught by his girlfriend?¡±
The noisy crowd had differing opinions. The more they talked, the more exaggerated the stories became. All kinds of interpretations were made.
Mu Xiaoxiao was thin-skinned and couldn¡¯t bear listening to them anymore.
Could their imaginations be any wilder?
She wondered about the kinds of story lines she might start hearing if they were to continue.
In his arms, Mu Xiaoxiao raised her hand and tugged at his clothes, embarrassed, and she said softly, ¡°Let¡¯s go. This is too embarrassing.¡±
Their behavior was too conspicuous. Moreover, with their looks, they were the focus of attention wherever they went

Yin Shaojie nodded, hisrge hand holding her little one as they walked in the direction of the condominium.
Some of the onlookers were quite over the top. Seeing the two walked away, they followed the couple.
Mu Xiaoxiao tugged at him, wanting to increase their pace so as to ditch the onlookers.
Why were these people so annoying?
They were leaving, yet they still followed. What was wrong with them?
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly swung her hips, almost spraining her ankle.
Yin Shaojie frowned. ¡°Are you alright?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Let¡¯s go quickly and lose them.¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s elegant face was grim. Instead of doing as she said, he stopped. ¡°Wait here. I¡¯ll deal with them.¡±
¡°No¡¡±
Just as she was about to finish her sentence, Yin Shaojie had already turned back. In a sharp gaze, he had the air of a king as he red at the people.
Suddenly, he shouted, ¡°Are you done following us?!¡±
The two were not celebrities. They didn¡¯t need to endure such harassment.
The group of people halted. Pretending not to hear him, they looked around as though they were just passersby.
Yin Shaojie curled his lips coldly and said, ¡°I¡¯m warning you. Stop following, or I won¡¯t be so kind!¡±
His threats sent a chill to their hearts, causing them to tremble unwittingly.
With that said, Yin Shaojie took Mu Xiaoxiao and left.
This time, they looked at each other, no one daring to follow them.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes were just too intimidating and that they thought he was really going to do as he said.
Although they were gossipy, their lives were still more important to them.
¡
In front of the condominium.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly tugged at him, her little face looking serious as she said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to go back.¡±
¡°Why?¡± Yin Shaojie asked her as he saw defiance in her eyes.
He didn¡¯t understand why she would feel this way.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked sullen. ¡°In any case¡ I just don¡¯t want to go back, okay? Didn¡¯t you ask me where I want to go? I want to see Qiqing. Either you send me there, or¡ I will go there myself.¡±
¡°Why do you want to go see Qiqing?¡± Yin Shaojie continued to ask.
Mu Xiaoxiao said evasively, ¡°I-I just want to go see her! Can¡¯t I? I¡¯m in a bad mood. Can¡¯t I go find a good friend to chat with?¡±
¡°You¡¯re in a bad mood?¡± Yin Shaojie thought something. ¡°Oh yeah. You haven¡¯t told me what you are angry about?¡±
¡°Humph. I don¡¯t want to tell you!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stubbornly averted her eyes.
¡°Why don¡¯t you want to tell me?¡± Yin Shaojie walked to where she was facing so that she could see him.
¡°I just don¡¯t want to. If you can¡¯t tell what I¡¯m angry with, that¡¯s your problem. Why should I tell you? You should go and think about what you did wrong that made me angry.¡±
It was hard to refute Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s sudden logicalment.
This was the first time Yin Shaojie felt like she shut him up.
He finallypromised. ¡°Alright. I can send you to Qiqing, but you have to tell me why you are angry.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±
So the two went to the underground parking lot.
A sports car slowly drove out into the driveway.
¡°Can you tell me now?¡± Yin Shaojie turned to ask her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was silent for a while. It was as if she were deliberating how she shoulde out with it. Then when she looked up, she was huffy as she red at him.

¡°Let me ask you something. How did you feel when I didn¡¯t have my memories?¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t understand what she meant, but still answered seriously, ¡°I was worried about you, of course. Do you know how sad I was when you lost your memory and couldn¡¯t recognize me?¡±
¡°Humph.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao snorted. ¡°You seemed very happy.¡±
¡°Very happy?¡± Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. ¡°How was I happy? Must I sniffle and cry in front of you in order to show you I¡¯m sad?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked askance at him. ¡°You¡¯re still denying it? You were clearly having a lot of fun with the me who had memory loss. I remember everything now. Are you still trying to lie to me?¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned. He thought her words were a little strange.
¡°Having a lot of fun with the you who had memory loss?¡±
Just then, the traffic light turned red and they stopped.
Yin Shaojie turned to look at her, his expression a little bewildered. ¡°Is there a problem with that? Is it wrong to have fun with you? Or are you trying to say that I should have acted like I was suffering?¡±
¡°You weren¡¯t having fun with me. You were having fun with the me who had memory loss!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao retorted, her little face looking a little angry.
¡°Are you and the you who had memory loss the same person?¡± He now understood the meaning in her words.
¡°We¡¯re different!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shouted.
Yin Shaojie was speechless.
The light was about to turn green.
He looked at her with his lips quirked up slightly and asked incredulously, ¡°Are you actually jealous at yourself?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused. Her pupils darted around and her expression looked a little unnatural as she said, ¡°What are you talking about! I just¡ I just felt¡¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes smiled. ¡°Take your time to exin. I¡¯m listening.¡±
So this was what she was angry about.
He didn¡¯t imagine that this would be the reason.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked forward, unhappy. ¡°I just felt like you liked to hang out with the me who had memory loss more¡¡±
She was obviously herself, but she felt as though she had somehow turned into another person when she had lost her memory.¡±
Yin Shaojie felt a little helpless. ¡°Of course not. Why would you think that?¡±
Goodness, what was she thinking in that little head of hers?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s gaze looked downcast. ¡°Anyway¡ I¡¯m feeling very confused right now, and I don¡¯t know how to exin it.¡±
She didn¡¯t want to return to the condominium because it reminded her of when she lost her memories.
She didn¡¯t know why, but she minded it a lot.
The her who had memory loss was obviously still her. However, the intimate images that floated around in her mind showed a different side of herself and she felt a little weird, as though she wasn¡¯t herself.
She was just¡ a girl who had her face.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s heart ached from seeing her like this. After driving for a distance, he turned around and looked at her. In a pitiful voice, he said, ¡°How long are you going to be angry at me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. She actually didn¡¯t want to be angry with him and she was quite puzzled with herself.
They came to a red light and stopped again.
Yin Shaojie turned and looked at her. Reaching out, he petted her head and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, just be angry if you want to. You still need to tell me how to make you cool down, though. You can¡¯t stay angry at me forever, right? Let¡¯s think of how to solve this, okay?¡±
Chapter 1063 - Yin Shaojie, You’re Dead Meat! (12)
Chapter 1063: Yin Shaojie, You¡¯re Dead Meat! (12)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
He knew that she was also feeling ufortable.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked into his eyes. There was a quivering light in her eyes, and her heart was moved by his words as well.
¡°Okay,¡± she answered, her voice cracking.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t want to see her cry and so he smiled and said to her, ¡°That¡¯s right. We should try to solve our problems by talking with each other. Isn¡¯t that good?¡±
They were going to be together forever and they wouldn¡¯t have perfect days for the rest of their lives, for there was bound to be quarrels or misunderstandings.
Thus, they had to learn how tomunicate effectively and not just keep silent when problems arise, for that wouldn¡¯t solve anything, but serve to deepen misunderstandings.
Hearing hisughter lifted Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mood.
The green light came on and Yin Shaojie started the car.
¡°Alright, now think about what I should do to cool your anger.¡±
He looked like he would do anything she said.
Snorting, Mu Xiaoxiaoined, ¡°Do you know how bad you were? You lied to me while I had memory loss. Didn¡¯t you feel weird when you faced me then?¡±
Yin Shaojie thought for a while before saying, ¡°My heart ached. Aiyoh, you wouldn¡¯t understand even if I told you. The feeling is veryplex andplicated and it¡¯s hard for people who have never experienced it to imagine it.¡±
It was a terrible feeling. If he could, he would never want to go through it again.
Mu Xiaoxiao said gloomily, ¡°You wouldn¡¯t be able to understand how I felt then. Even though the girl who lost her memory is me, I still feel like she isn¡¯t me¡¡±
Yin Shaojieughed. ¡°Who is she if she isn¡¯t you? Or do you think you were possessed?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had an epiphany. ¡°Oh yeah! What if it was like that? How can you be so sure that that was me? If she wasn¡¯t me would you still have been so intimate with her?¡±
His words made her realize this possibility and she felt very unhappy.
¡°I¡¯m sure it was you, of course!¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s tone sounded serious.
¡°How can you be so sure? I¡¯d already lost my memory and didn¡¯t remember anything, so how are you so sure that it was me?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pressed.
Yin Shaojie stopped the car and ced a single hand on the steering wheel suavely. His sexy lips smiled at her as he pointed to his heart and said, ¡°This here told me.¡±
This silly girl probably hadn¡¯t noticed the details. The day she lost her memory and returned to the condominium, she had ordered the things he liked to eat when she said she was hungry and wanted delivery.
How could he not be sure after this?
Also, when she had looked for clothes to wear in the morning, she picked the ckce dress that he had bought for her, of all things.
What did this mean?
This meant that the girl¡¯s heart was his, just that she didn¡¯t show it outwardly.
Thus, she did all of these things subconsciously when she lost her memory.
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help but feel a little rueful. If it wasn¡¯t for her memory loss this time, he wouldn¡¯t have known that she had already engraved him in the deepest recesses of her heart.
He pulled her little hand towards him and pressed it against his heart.
¡°Can you hear what it says?¡± He looked at her deeply and asked in a low voice.
Mu Xiaoxiao could feel his heart beating. Badump, badump, badump. It was strong and steady, as though it were saying something.
She shook her head.
¡°It¡¯s saying three words. Can you guess what they are?¡±
His expression was gentle.
Chapter 1064 - Sleeping Alone (1)

Three words¡
What could they be?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face heated up slightly. Her gaze was a little bashful and delighted as her lips curled up. She pretended to not know what he was talking about as she blinked and said, ¡°What three words?¡±
¡°You don¡¯t know? Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes. His gaze seemed to say: ¡°You little liar.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes and lips were smiling. She said, ¡°There are so many phrases with three words. For example, there¡¯s ¡®sorry¡¯ and ¡®you¡¯re beautiful.¡¯ There are so many possibilities. I¡¯m not a roundworm in your stomach, so how would I know?¡±
Yin Shaojie knew that she was doing this deliberately, of course. The gears in his head turned and he asked, ¡°Which three words would you like to hear most, then?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused. She didn¡¯t expect him toe up with this.
She continued to y innocent and shook her head. ¡°I can¡¯t think of them at the moment. What about you? What are the three words you want to tell me the most?¡±
Both of them wanted the other to say the three words first.
Yin Shaojie smirked. This girl was bing smarter. She had thrown the ball back into his court.
He leaned over and moved his handsome face really close. With his warm breath brushing against her face, he said in a maic tone, ¡°You obviously know what I want to say to you.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao spread her hands.
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°I¡¯ll give you three guesses.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t feel like guessing. Just tell me.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shook his hand.
Yin Shaojie seemed to have thought of something. Light shed in his eyes as he beckoned at her. ¡°Move here.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that he had something nned, but still leaned forward. ¡°What for?¡±
¡°Come a little closer, ¡°Yin Shaojie continued. His sexy lips curled up mesmerizingly. If it were any other girl who saw this expression, they would probably have burrowed into him.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao had grown up with him and had some immunity to his charms.
However, she still leaned forward obediently.
They were so close her lips would meet his if she moved a little closer.
¡°What are you trying to do?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ears burned, and her heart started to beat faster unwittingly.
She could feel herself being enveloped by his masculine aura entirely, and all she could smell was him.
Her heart quivered instantly.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s deep dark eyes were locked onto hers, as though she were the only thing they could see.
The only thing that Mu Xiaoxiao could see was her own reflection in his inky dark eyes.
His long and slender fingers brushed her cheek as he said in a low husky voice, ¡°Do you really not know what I¡¯m about to do?¡±
Was he making her guess again?
Mu Xiaoxiao had an inkling of what he wanted to do, of course, but she was also afraid that he would mess with her, and thus didn¡¯t answer.
She felt as though she were about to be sucked into his gaze, and thus looked away instinctively. Unexpectedly, she saw someone¡¯s silhouette outside the car window.
She jumped and pushed him away. ¡°There¡¯s someone outside!¡±
It was only then that she realized that the car had been stopped for quite a while.
Upon hearing her words, Yin Shaojie frowned as he turned to look outside the car window. There was indeed a person outside, but he was standing a few steps away from the car. He looked guilty as he looked at them.
Upon realizing that he had been discovered, he nodded hastily and called out, ¡°Young Master Jie, Miss Mu.¡±
He turned out to be a helper from the Hans, who was about to step forward to open Yin Shaojie¡¯s car when he saw it.

However, he was met with the scene of them flirting, and happened to be spotted by Mu Xiaoxiao just as he was about to leave.
Upon hearing this greeting, Mu Xiaoxiao paused and blushed madly.
Goodness gracious!
Their flirting had been observed by the helpers.
The helper read the situation. Pretending that he hadn¡¯t seen anything, he retreated, not wanting them to disturb them.
Mu Xiaoxiao hit Yin Shaojie¡¯s shoulder bashfully. ¡°When did we arrive? Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡±
¡± Stop ming me for something that you didn¡¯t notice,¡± Yin Shaojie said, amused. Wanting to tease her further, he reached out and pulled her closer, saying carefreely, ¡°What are you so shy about? We¡¯re already engaged, and it¡¯s not like they don¡¯t know about it. So what if they see us? Come, let me kiss you.¡±
¡°Kiss, your head!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pushed his handsome face away with her hands, not falling for his tricks.
She turned around and prepared to get out of the car. ¡°I¡¯m getting out. I¡¯ll be sleeping over at Qiqing¡¯s tonight.¡±
Yin Shaojie stopped her hastily. His handsome face was unhappy as he said, ¡°How could you!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao crossed her arms as she looked at him. ¡°Do you remember what you said earlier?¡±
¡°What did I say? I never said that I¡¯d let you stay over at Qiqing¡¯s tonight, did I?¡± Was she going to abandon him and make him sleep alone? Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t going to allow that, of course.
Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask me what you could do to cool my anger earlier? I¡¯m going to stay over at Qiqing¡¯s house.¡±
Yin Shaojie paused and looked like he regretted his words.
However, words that had been said were like water that had already been thrown out: they couldn¡¯t be taken back.
Also, he wasn¡¯t someone to go back on his word.
He pursed his lips and said reluctantly, ¡°It¡¯s still early right now. You can y with Qiqing until nightes. You don¡¯t have to stay over, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and grumbled, ¡°And you still said that you¡¯d do anything for me¡ You¡¯re not trustworthy at all.¡±
She didn¡¯t feel like going back to the condominium.
She also wanted to think about this problem for a little while.
Sometimes, she felt as though he always led her by her nose, never letting her think for herself.
Yin Shaojie sighed helplessly and could only saypromisingly, ¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯ll let you sleep over at the Hans, okay? Mu Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re so heartless. How could you have the heart to let me sleep in the room alone?¡±
How was he supposed to go through the night without her?
Upon hearing the words ¡®sleep in the room alone,¡¯ Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s expression froze.
She thought for a while before saying suddenly, ¡°You can¡¯t sleep in the condo either.¡±
¡°Why?¡± Yin Shaojie looked confused at her order.
¡°You just can¡¯t!¡± This time, it was Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s turn to be tyrannical. She red at him with wide eyes, as though she were warning him: I dare you to not listen to me!
She didn¡¯t feel like staying in the condominium not because she minded the things that had happened between him and her when she had memory loss.
Was she going to just leave him alone in the condominium?
Would he think about memory loss-her at night then?
Mu Xiaoxiao felt jealous just thinking about it.
Not happening!
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. ¡°Where should I sleep then? Or do you mean that we¡¯re going to stay over at Qiqing¡¯s house together.¡±
¡°Of course not.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want him to be there, of course. She wouldn¡¯t be able to think clearly if he were there.
¡°What should I do then? Tell me.¡± Yin Shaojie made his handsome face look downcast deliberately, pretending to look pitiful.

Seeing his expression made Mu Xiaoxiao angry.
If he couldn¡¯t sleep in the condominium, didn¡¯t it cross his mind to sleep over at the Yin residence?
And he still asked her this!
She red at him and retorted angrily, ¡°You can sleep on the streets.¡±
¡°Sleep on the streets?¡± Yin Shaojie was surprised. He had never imagined that she would give him such an answer. He had expected her to let him stay at the Han¡¯s.
How could this girl act so heartlessly towards him!
¡°Yes, sleep on the streets.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of something. ring at him, she said, ¡°Don¡¯t you forget that I haven¡¯t punished you yet. You lied to me like that when I lost my memories. Tell me, don¡¯t you deserve to be punished?¡±
¡°Yeah, yeah, yeah, I deserve to be punished. How are you going to punish me then, your Majesty?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s attitude became gentle, holding her little hand as a knight would.
He thought that it was alright so long as she didn¡¯t make him sleep on the sofa.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked into his eyes. The gears in her head turned as she said, ¡°You must be thinking that I was going to order you to sleep on the sofa as your punishment, right? Of course not! How is sleeping on the sofa a punishment? You are going to¡ I haven¡¯t thought of it yet. I¡¯ll tell you once I think of it.¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression was one of surrender and he nodded. ¡°Alright, tell me when you¡¯ve thought of it. You can punish me however you want. Satisfied?¡±
As long as she was happy.
He knew that she wouldn¡¯t really act heartlessly towards him anyway.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and sneered internally. Yin Shaojie, you said these words yourself. You¡¯re dead meat!
She had to think of a really severe punishment.
¡°Alright, I¡¯m getting out of the car now. You can go back.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao turned around to open the car door.
Yin Shaojie reached out with his long arm and caught her arm.
¡°Wifey, I won¡¯t be able to see you for almost a day. Shouldn¡¯t you give me somepensation?¡± He wanted to kiss her.
Initially, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to amodate him, but her heart softened.
¡°I really don¡¯t know what to do with you.¡± She moved forward and give him a peck on his cheeks.
¡°Done.¡±
¡°That¡¯s it?¡± Yin Shaojie showed his displeasure.
¡°There are people around. What else do you want?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him. She had been embarrassed enough already.
Oh, she knew it now. He was doing this deliberately so that she couldn¡¯t stay over at the Hans, right?
This scheming boy!
¡°I don¡¯t care, I want to kiss you on the lips,¡± Yin Shaojie insisted tyrannically as he looked at her.
A kiss on the cheek could no longer satisfy him.
Enveloping her with his long arm, he trapped her in the back of her seat and leaned hisrge figure close.
His handsome face drew nearer, about to kiss her.
Han Qiqing emerged from the Han¡¯s gate. She shouted happily as she ran over, ¡°Xiaoxiao! Xiaoxiao!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pushed him back and his dark eyes red unhappily at Han Qiqing, who had disrupted his ns.
Why did shee right now of all times?
Couldn¡¯t she have waited for a few more minutes?
F*ck!
Han Qiqing didn¡¯t notice anything weird going on between them and ran over to the passenger seat happily. Looking at Mu Xiaoxiao through the window, she tapped on the window as she shouted, ¡°Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao! Have you regained your memory?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao ignored Yin Shaojie and opened the car door. Beaming happily, she leapt up to hug Qiqing.
¡°Qiqing!¡±
Upon hearing her shout her name, Qiqing knew that her memories had returned and she instantly jumped up and whooped jubntly.

¡°Xiaoxiao, you really remember me now? You¡¯ve really regained your memory? That¡¯s wonderful!¡±
The pair hugged and twirled around on the spot, and they even jumped like two little happy sparrows.
Yin Shaojie rested his elbow on the steering wheel and cupped his chin with his hand. He couldn¡¯t help but be influenced by their happy mood and his lips quirked into a smile.
Sometimes, girl rtionships were simple and good.
Mu Xiaoxiao looped an arm around Han Qiqing and said, ¡°Let¡¯s talk more after we go inside.¡±
She then waved to Yin Shaojie in the car, gesturing that he could leave.
Han Qiqing looked at Yin Shaojie uprehendingly. ¡°What about him? Isn¡¯t heing in?¡±
Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie were usually inseparable.
This was especially so after they got together. Yin Shaojie was sure to be where Xiaoxiao was.
Thus, she felt this was weird. Why was Yin Shaojie noting too?
¡°Why should I let him in?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s voice was weird, as though she were repulsed by Yin Shaojie. ¡°I¡¯m not letting him tag along today. It¡¯ll just be the two of us! I¡¯m also going to stay over tonight. I¡¯m not going back today.¡±
¡°Eh? Really?!¡± Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t believe what she was hearing.
She wasn¡¯t hearing things, right?
Ever since they got together, the tyrannical Yin Shaojie dominated Xiaoxiao, refusing to let her sleep over at her house.
Girls usually liked to sleep together and have heart-to-heart talks.
Han Qiqing had wanted to sleep with Xiaoxiao for a very long time already. She wanted to lie on the same bed as her, just the two of them together to have heart-to-heart talks, just like when they were young.
However, this wasn¡¯t an idea that she could entertain with Yin Shaojie in the picture.
Han Qiqing held up Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand and ced it onto her face. ¡°Xiaoxiao, pinch me. Am I dreaming?¡±
What made her surprised was how Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t retort or protest when Xiaoxiao said this. What a spectacle it was!
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed and even pinched her face.
However, she only pinched her lightly, as though she were pinching a little kid.
¡°Can you not be so exaggerated?¡± she said, amused.
¡°I have to be!¡± Han Qiqing said seriously. ¡°Since when did Yin Shaojie be so open-minded as to allow you to stay over at my ce? Is he going to sleep alone?¡±
Upon hearing the words ¡°sleep alone¡± again, Mu Xiaoxiao was dumbstruck.
Were they really viewed by others as inseparable?
Mu Xiaoxiao leaned close to Qiqing¡¯s ear and said, ¡°I¡¯m currently angry with him, so he¡¯s naturally going to listen to me obediently.¡±
¡°Angry with him? What happened?¡± Han Qiqing asked curiously, her eyes shing with interest at potential gossip.
¡°Is it something rted with your memory loss? Oh yeah, Xiaoxiao, how did your memory return? Did something happen?¡±
She suddenly felt envious of Xiaoxiao. She felt like her life was so interesting! There was something exciting happening everyday!
Compared to her¡
Han Qiqing thought about Lu Yichen and felt a little downcast. However, she didn¡¯t let Xiaoxiao see this.
Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed. ¡°He took advantage of me! He did some weird things to me when I had memory loss. Don¡¯t you think I deserve to be angry?¡±
¡°¡ Weird things?¡± Han Qiqing¡¯s attention was drawn towards this. ¡°What weird things?¡±
She was really curious about the details!

Mu Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed to say it. ¡°I¡¯ll tell you about it at night.¡±
¡°So you¡¯re punishing him?¡± Han Qiqing cupped her hand over her mouth as sheughed. Her shoulders shook with mirth as she saw Yin Shaojie looking beaten in the car.
She remembered that when they were kids, Yin Shaojie suffered when Xiaoxiao got really angry.
Mu Xiaoxiao grabbed her hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll talk when we¡¯re inside.
Yin Shaojie stared at her all this while. There was resentment in his gaze, as though he were a little puppy which had been abandoned.
She couldn¡¯t stand to see him any longer. She was afraid that if she continued to look, her heart would soften.
Han Qiqing nced towards Yin Shaojie on purpose before holding Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand and entering her house.
Yin Shaojie sat in the car, watching them enter the house.
His car was stationary for a long time.
After a while, the butler rushed out. He had a surprised look on his face as he walked towards the car, and knocking on its window, he said respectfully, ¡°Young Master Jie¡¡±
Yin Shaojie did a shushing gesture before lowering his window and saying something to him.
The butler nodded as he listened.
¡
At night.
After Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing showered, they donned simr pajamas andy on the bed, looking up at the ceiling.
The pair conversed casually, and then spoke about their childhood.
Han Qiqing turned over, cupping her face with a hand. Looking at Mu Xiaoxiao, she asked, ¡°Xiaoxiao, are you really angry at Yin Shaojie this time?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and said, ¡°Not really¡¡±
Han Qiqing smiled suddenly. ¡°I remember when we were young, there was this time when you were really angry with him. You ignored him for a few days and even pretended not to know him. Whenever he came to look for you, you would ask him who he was on purpose while you yed with the other ssmates happily. It were as though you had forgotten him, and it caused him to be so furious. It¡¯s very amusing whenever I recall it.¡±
Actually, she felt more envious than amused.
She was envious that she had a person that she could be a get with.
Upon hearing her words, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mind was cast back to when she was a child, and she felt that her behavior was childish.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and said uprehendingly, ¡°I think that my personality is good. But whenever I meet Yin Shaojie, I just be¡ How do I say this, easily angered?¡±
Han Qiqing smiled as she cast a sideways nce and teased, ¡°Isn¡¯t this called ¡®making trouble without reason¡¯?¡±
Actually, calling it ¡®making trouble without reason¡¯ was a little excessive. Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t a person who caused trouble without any basis. Her had her reasons, even if she only got a little angry.
Mu Xiaoxiao knew that she was joking and threw a pillow at her.
¡°I don¡¯t make trouble without reason! I obviously have my own justifications!¡±
Han Qiqing said suggestively, ¡°Yeah, yeah, yeah. Aren¡¯t you really reliant on Yin Shaojie¡¯s pampering?¡±
¡°Since when has he pampered me? He was always bantering with me and liked to oppose whatever I said. Since when has he pampered me?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was unhappy at these words. Things were obviously not like that!
Han Qiqing¡¯s eyes were narrowed halfway. ¡°You call this not pampering you? My goodness, Xiaoxiao, do you have a heart?¡±
¡°What! You¡¯re only seeing what happens on the surface. You don¡¯t know how we interact with each other when we¡¯re alone. So you know how much Yin Shaojie likes to provoke me?¡±
¡°He just likes to tease you because he likes to see you angery because of him.¡± Han Qiqingid the situation bare with these words.

Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°¡ Isn¡¯t that called ¡®trying to piss me off?¡¯¡±
Han Qiqing didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. ¡°Isn¡¯t that a different thing?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao waved a hand as though she were swatting a fly and said, ¡°Aiyoh, let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. It¡¯s all in the past now.¡±
¡°Yeah, what¡¯s important is the present. So¡¡± Han Qiqing¡¯s eyes darted around and she looked at her curiously. ¡°What did Yin Shaojie do this time to make you so angry?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s original purpose in looking for her was to find someone who could help her analyze the situation.
Thus, she told her thoughts and what Yin Shaojie had done to her.
After listening to her, Han Qiqing¡¯s eyes looked at her dazedly. She then replied, not knowing whether tough or to cry, ¡°So¡ you¡¯re jealous at yourself? My goodness, Xiaoxiao, your brain is really¡ I really don¡¯t know what to tell you. People with memory loss usually don¡¯t behave the way you do after they regain their memories! Even if you¡¯ve lost your memories, you¡¯re still you! How could you think that you¡¯re someone else¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m just¡ Aiyoh, how do I say this¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was feeling really troubled too. ¡°I just feel like I¡¯m¡ But I just can¡¯t control it. The moment I think of the things that Yin Shaojie did to me when I had memory loss, I just feel¡ so angry.¡±
Han Qiqing rubbed her chin as she thought. Suddenly, she looked at her meaningfully.
¡°What?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, how could you not realize this problem when you¡¯re already jealous of yourself?¡± Han Qiqing smiled mysteriously, as though she had discovered something huge.
¡°What problem?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised.
Han Qiqing leaned towards her and spoke into her ear, ¡°You just love Yin Shaojie too much! That¡¯s why you can¡¯t tolerate it and even get jealous at yourself.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused and looked a little bashful. ¡°What are you talking about! I¡¯m not like that.¡±
¡°Really?¡± Han Qiqing looked at her amusedly and asked on purpose, ¡°So do you not love Yin Shaojie, or do you love Yon Shaojie?¡±
¡°I¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was about to open her mouth to speak before Han Qiqing interrupted her.
Han Qiqing¡¯s gaze was earnest as she looked at her and asked, ¡°Seriously, Xiaoxiao, we can all see how much Yin Shaojie loves you. What about you? How much do you love Yin Shaojie? Or¡ are your feelings towards him just out of habit?¡±
¡°Of course not!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao retorted hastily after hearing this. Her face looked serious and even looked a little angry.
Was her disy of affection towards Yin Shaojie that unsatisfactory?
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little downcast.
Han Qiqing smiled and said, ¡°So my analysis is correct. The reason why you¡¯re so hung up about the things that happened with Yin Shaojie during your memory loss is because you love him too much, to the extent that you¡¯re even jealous at yourself.¡±
¡°Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re still you, no matter whether you have memory loss or not! How is anything different? Even though it¡¯s a little wrong for Yin Shaojie to lie to you like that, he¡¯s only doing it because he loves you.¡±
¡°The things that both of you have experienced are ultimately still your memories, right?¡±
As Mu Xiaoxiao listened to Qiqing¡¯s analysis, her eyes became dazed and she sank into deep thought.
She had to admit that Qiqing was really making a lot of sense. The little knot in her heart had loosened.
Chapter 1070 - How Much Do You Love Him (3)
Chapter 1070: How Much Do You Love Him (3)

Han Qiqing had already said what she wanted to say. Shifting back to her side, she looked up at the ceiling, and said faintly, ¡°Xiaoxiao, do you know how much I envy you? Although you have some conflicts with Yin Shaojie, they aren¡¯t huge problems. Your feelings for each other won¡¯t be affected because of that, unlike other couples who can turn their small conflicts into big ones.¡±
Even an observer like her understood that the trust that Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie had in each other was extraordinary.
Their rtionship was really enviable.
Han Qiqing suddenly thought of something. She had a weird smile as she leaned her head on Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°Xiaoxiao suppose therees a time when Yin Shaojie tells you that he likes another girl. What would be your first thought?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll kick him!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao replied without even thinking.
Han Qiqing spread open her hands, giving her a sidelong look.
¡°So?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked, not understanding her.
¡°You don¡¯t understand? If it were any other girls, they would say outwardly that they trust in their boyfriends, but in their hearts they would be suspicious. They won¡¯t feel happy about it, but what about you? To you, it¡¯spletely a joke. What does that mean? It means you trust that he won¡¯t betray you.¡±
Han Qiqing analysis was very logical.
Although no one could guarantee that Yin Shaojie wouldn¡¯t have a change of heart, he would never hurt Xiaoxiao.
Of course, the chances that Yin Shaojie would have a change of heart were still very small, almost negligible.
Han Qiqing thought that if even Yin Shaojie had a change of heart she would never believe in love anymore.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly turned and sat up. Sitting cross-legged, she looked at Han Qiqing and said, ¡°I can¡¯t sleep.¡±
She felt enlightened upon listening to Qiqing.
Although she had always known that she liked Yin Shaojie, she never thought about how deeply she felt for Yin Shaojie. She had never thought about things like whether they might break up in the future.
Perhaps it was because she knew that they wouldn¡¯t break up.
Or maybe it was her belief that they wouldn¡¯t break up.
Han Qiqing sat up as well. ¡°I can¡¯t sleep too. Why don¡¯t we go to the kitchen to cook something? We¡¯ll go sit on the balcony to watch the moon, eat, and chat, alright?¡±
Looking at Xiaoxiao¡¯s expression, she knew that she was no longer being troubled by that issue.
¡°Mm, okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao gave a warm smile.
She wanted to say, ¡°Thank you, Qiqing¡±.
But she hesitated as she wondered if it would be too formal since they were best friends.
Sometimes, a smile was all that was needed to express thanks.
Then, the two moved to the balcony. Admiring the starry night sky, the two looked at each other and smiled.
¡°I haven¡¯t seen such a beautiful night sky for a long time,¡± Qiqingmented.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement. ¡°Yeah. It¡¯s really beautiful.¡±
Looking at Qiqing, there was warmth in her smile. It felt great having a heart-to-heart chat with a good friend. That wonderful kind of feeling was hard to put into words.
¡°Oh yeah,¡± Han Qiqing asked. ¡°If you¡¯re not allowing Yin Shaojie to sleep at the condominium, then where will he be sleeping tonight?¡±
¡°He¡¯s probably going back to the Yin residence, I guess? Who would be so stupid to sleep outside when he has a home to return to?¡±

Besides, she forbade him, but who knew if he would really do as she said.
If he¡
Mu Xiaoxiao inadvertently caught sight of a car. It was hidden in the darkness, with some trees blocking it from view. If she hadn¡¯t been looking, she wouldn¡¯t have known that there was a car over there.
A car¡ Mu Xiaoxiao thought it looked very familiar.
Her heart got excited for a moment as she thought of something.
She abruptly turned around, ran to the nightstand, picked up her cell phone, and ran back to the balcony.
Then, staring at the well-hidden car, she made a call to Yin Shaojie.
In the darkness, a light shed from within the car.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. It was really him?
¡°What¡¯s the matter? Are you calling Yin Shaojie? Trying to reconcile with him?¡± Han Qiqingughed, and she sighed deliberately and said, ¡°Must you be so impatient? At least wait till tomor-¡±
Before she could finish her sentence, Mu Xiaoxiao walked out.
¡°Where are you going?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s voice was odd as she said, ¡°Going down to find him.¡±
Going down to find him?
Han Qiqing then realized what she was saying. She followed behind her. ¡°You mean to say Yin Shaojie is outside?¡±
Although it wasn¡¯t veryte at night, it waste. Looking at the time, it was past eleven o¡¯clock.
Mu Xiaoxiao walked very quickly, looking very anxious.
¡°This guy. Could it be that he didn¡¯t even leave?¡±
Hearing that, Han Qiqing said in astonishment, ¡°You mean that after Yin Shaojie sent you here, he stayed outside all this time? Wow, must he be so¡¡±
She simply couldn¡¯t find an apt adjective, but her admiration for the Great Master Yin was endless.
¡°Is he dumb? He¡¯s really¡ going to be the death of me!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, her pace increasing. Following behind her, Han Qiqing was worried that she might fall, especially when they were going down the stairs.
Han Qiqingmented, ¡°This is called being loving, not dumb, right?¡±
If a guy was willing to care so much about her, she would definitely be over the moon.
However, not everyone was like Yin Shaojie.
However, Qiqing could tell that Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t really mean what she said a d instead felt bad for Yin Shaojie.
Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t just feeling bad, she was dying from the aching she felt!
The scene reminded her of the time when Yin Shaojie went to America to bring her back.
He had also waited outside the gate for her overnight then.
This bastard. Did he like to do these things that much?
When Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing went down to the living room, they didn¡¯t expect to bump into the butler.
¡°Miss Mu? Miss?¡± the butler saw them walking so quickly and asked curiously, ¡°Misses, you are in a rush¡¡±
Han Qiqing suddenly thought of something and asked the butler. ¡°When did Yin Shaojie¡¯s car arrive? Is he outside now?¡±
Butler stared nkly for a moment. Then he finally let out a breath and said, ¡°You finally saw Young Master Jie¡¯s car?¡±
¡°Finally?¡± Han Qiqing caught the keyword.
Mu Xiaoxiao also stopped upon hearing that. She stared at the butler.
The butler said awkwardly, ¡°Young Master Jie has not left since he came. Seeing him outside, I was afraid that I wasn¡¯t treating the guest well, so I went out to chat with Young Master Jie. At first, Young Master Jie forbade me to tell Miss about this¡¡±
¡°He¡ has been outside for that long? He¡¯s really¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was so angry that she didn¡¯t say anything, but her eyes became watery.

The butler nodded and continued to say something, but Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t take in his words anymore. Immediately, she broke into a run and rushed outside.
Han Qiqing was about to follow her when she noticed the odd expression on the butler. She paused, looking at the butler and asking, ¡°Is there something you¡¯re hiding from me?¡±
The butler was startled. He shook his head and said, ¡°Of course not, Miss, how can you suspect me?¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s eyes narrowed as she stared at him as though she were interrogating a criminal.
¡°You said that you went to talk to Yin Shaojie. What did you talk about?¡±
Looking in the direction Mu Xiaoxiao ran towards, he said, ¡°I know that Young Master Jie was worried about Miss Mu, so I asked if there was any way I could help him. Then¡ Young Master Jie said he didn¡¯t need help.¡±
The butler coughed. His expression was a little weird.
¡°What did he say?¡± Of course, Han Qiqing had to get to the bottom of this gossip. After all, this could affect her best friend.
The butler said, ¡°Young Master Jie said that¡ he wanted to get his wife back by himself. He doesn¡¯t want anyone to intervene.¡±
Han Qiqing felt embarrassed upon hearing that. Yin Shaojie was seriously¡ When did he be such a smooth romantic?
She was suddenly very curious about the romantic things he said to Xiaoxiao.
The butler continued saying, ¡°Young Master Jie also said that he would wait outside. He didn¡¯t want Miss Mu to worry and just wanted her to be happy. So he told me not to intervene and he even told me hide it from you and Miss Mu.¡±
Han Qiqing was speechless.
Why did she have the feeling that she was an abused dog?
¡
Outside the gate.
Xiaoxiao had always been afraid of the dark, but she didn¡¯t care about that at the moment as she rushed into the darkness to Yin Shaojie.
But Yin Shaojie¡¯s car wasn¡¯t there.
There was only the shadow of the tree branches swaying along with the night breeze.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt her pajamas¡¯s pockets. Nothing. She had forgotten her phone. She cursed herself inwardly.
She shouted into the darkness, ¡°Jie¡ Jie! You¡¯re hiding around here, right?¡±
They liked to y hide and go seek when they were young. They would hide and let the other person find them before suddenly jumping out and scaring whoever was searching.
He must have realized that he had been detected and run to hide.
Yeah!
That must be it!
Mu Xiaoxiao was confident of it. She didn¡¯t want to believe that Yin Shaojie had left.
He had been waiting outside for so long. Why would he leave at a time like this?
Mu Xiaoxiao was filled withplex feelings. She felt bad for him, but she was also upset. She strained her voice as she shouted, ¡°Come out! Jie! Yin Shaojie! You bastard! You¡¯re hiding, right? Show yourself!¡±
However, in the darkness, there was nothing besides the leaves and branches.
The night breeze was very cold. Although she was wearing long pajamas, it was a skirt, and her fair, slender legs were exposed.
As a breeze brushed past her, she naturally felt the chill.
However, what was even colder was the feeling in her heart.
Could Yin Shaojie really have left?
How could he do this?
Strangely, she started to feel aggrieved.
Mu Xiaoxiao asked herself. Was he waiting for her to find him?
Chapter 1073 - How Much Do You Love Him (6)
Chapter 1073: How Much Do You Love Him (6)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Maybe he left because he thought Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to find him.
As Mu Xiaoxiao thought back to that day in America, she only felt bitter inside.
¡°Jie¡¡±
Did you lose patience because I went too far?
Her eyes were forlorn and misty.
Suddenly, a tall ck shadow shrouded her from behind. A strong warm chest came up against her from behind, pressed against her back, and a pair of long arms caught her.
¡°Dummy. You ran in the wrong direction. I wasn¡¯t over there,¡± said the familiar voice from behind her ear.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s body was stunned and she swayed. The moisture in her eyes welled up, and tears fell.
¡°You¡ I¡¡± She whimpered, but she couldn¡¯t finish aplete sentence.
Stroking her hair with his broad hand, Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Take your time. No rush. Is it the butler who told you that I was outside? I clearly told him not to tell you.¡±
He had specifically parked the car in a dark ce to avoid being noticed.
He never expected her to notice it.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head, a tear staining her cheek.
She suddenly turned and hugged him, her face pressed snuggly against his chest.
¡°I thought you¡ went back¡ I¡ just noticed¡ and, and I rushed out¡ How could you¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao sniffed as she said intermittently.
Yin Shaojie felt sorry for her, yet he was also amused by her.
This wretch was so cute even when she looked like that.
¡°Okay, let¡¯s talkter after we get you warmed up.¡± Hisrge hand rubbed against her back.
But Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and insisted on saying what she wanted to say.
¡°Just, just now¡ Qiqing analyzed it with me. She said that¡ I was jealous of myself¡ because¡ I love you too much¡ Actually¡ I don¡¯t want to be angry with you¡ Sorry¡ I should control myself¡¡±
Although she didn¡¯t speak very clearly with pauses in between, Yin Shaojie understood her very well.
Caught unexpected, he held her up, his hands holding her shoulders as he asked, ¡°What did you just say? You love me too much?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°Yes¡ That was why I¡¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s lips curled up. What she said at the end was not important. He wanted to hear what she had said earlier. Then he urged her, ¡°Say that again.¡±
¡°Ah? What?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao still hadn¡¯t caught up to what he meant. Staring nkly, she seemed even more adorable and cute.
Yin Shaojie¡¯srge hands shifted and cupped her little face in his hands.
Then he realized how cold her cheeks were.
He immediately frowned. ¡°Why are you so cold?¡±
He looked down and realized that she was only wearing pajamas. Her slender legs were exposed. More importantly, her pajamas weren¡¯t meant for keeping warm. She would feel colder if the cold air entered from below.
Without thinking, Yin Shaojie quickly took off his coat and draped it over her.
But this was still not enough. He quickly carried her and went towards the car.
Carried in his arms, Mu Xiaoxiao hooked her arms around his neck out of habit. Staring at his elegant face up close, his anxiousness and worries were obvious.
She suddenly moved closer and gave him a deep, loving kiss.

Yin Shaojie was stunned for a moment. He looked down at her, but he didn¡¯t stop walking towards the car.
¡°What are you doing?¡± he asked with a husky voice. There was obvious eagerness in his voice as if he were looking forward to her answer.
She still hasn¡¯t said what he wanted her to say.
¡°Yin Shaojie,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao called his name.
¡°Yeah, I¡¯m him,¡± Yin Shaojie replied softly, smiling faintly.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt that she could hardly find the words to describe that smile of his. She could only say that his smile would definitely charm most girls.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s arms tightened as she pulled down Yin Shaojie¡¯s head. Then she said to him, ¡°Jie, actually, I¡ love you so, so much. Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t love you, okay?¡±
She was afraid that he would think she didn¡¯t love him enough.
In retrospect, it was true that she didn¡¯t disy it often. Otherwise, Qiqing wouldn¡¯t have told her about it.
That was because she thought that as long as the two were together, it was enough. And everything else was of lesser importance.
Besides, would he not be able to sense her feelings for him unless she tell him so?
Initially, Yin Shaojie only wanted to hear her say, ¡®I love you¡¯, but he never expected Xiaoxiao to be so generous.
The power of her words were too great. It jolted him, leaving a fuzzy feeling at his chest.
I love you so, so much¡
He wouldn¡¯t be tired of listening to her confession even if he were hearing it for the millionth time. Even if he were to hear it until he was a hundred years old, he would never get tired of it.
Just then, he suddenly regretted. Why didn¡¯t he record it?
He wished that he could rey the things that she said. He wished he could imprint her expression as she confessed to him in his mind.
¡°Dummy¡¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s throat tightened. He reached for her cheek and caressed it. Then he smiled and said, ¡°When did I say that I thought you didn¡¯t love me? You¡¯re such a dummy. Are you going to believe everything other people say? Am I blind or am I stupid? How can I not sense your feelings for me?¡±
Even if others couldn¡¯t see it, her feelings couldn¡¯t be any clearer to him.
¡°No, it¡¯s me¡¡±
¡°Okay,¡± Yin Shaojie interrupted her and said in resignation, ¡°No more ¡®buts¡¯. I don¡¯t care for whatever reason or excuse, I will never think that you don¡¯t love me.¡±
¡°Stop crying. Keep crying and you¡¯ll be ugly.¡± He wanted to make herugh, so he used everything he had to do it.
Shortly, Yin Shaojie carried Mu Xiaoxiao into the car.
The heater in the car was turned on, making the carfortably warm.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked out the window, checking their position. Sure enough, she had run in the wrong direction, scaring herself into thinking that he was gone.
She bit her lip and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to be ugly. Isn¡¯t it all your fault¡¡±
As she grumbled at the end, her voice died down into a whisper.
However, Yin Shaojie still heard her. Containing his amusement, he said deliberately, ¡°Okay okay okay, it¡¯s all my fault.¡±
Yin Shaojie sat back in the driver¡¯s seat, reached out, and grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little hand, wrapping it in his warm,rge palm.
When he looked up, he noticed that she was staring at him as though she were afraid he would disappear.
¡°Blink a little,¡± Yin Shaojie said to her gently. Waving his hand in front of her, he reminded her to blink and not just stare at him. It wouldn¡¯t be good for her eyes if she did that.

Mu Xiaoxiao finally blinked. Her bright, ck eyes were wet, glittering as she stared at him.
Yin Shaojie liked her eyes. Like ck gems, they were so beautiful and striking.
His lips curled up. Holding up her little hand, he kissed it and praised her, ¡°Good girl!¡±
His hand shifted to the back of her head, pressing her little face forward so he could kiss her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was slightly stunned at his sudden gesture. But instead of avoiding her, she tilted her head back to meet with his kiss.
Their lips came together, and it seemed like lightning shed and fire spit out from the earth.
Before she could react, his fiery hot tongue took over her mouth in a moment of passion.
Her hands were stunned for a moment before she reached out and hugged his arm.
Meanwhile, Han Qiqing caught up. Seeing the scene in the car, sheughed and did not disturb them.
Seeing that there were helpers walking up to them, she quickly said, ¡°Go back. You¡¯re not needed here. Go back to sleep.¡±
The helpers looked at each other before leaving the scene.
Han Qiqing realized that she shouldn¡¯t peep on the couple, so she also went back to the house.
It seemed that she wouldn¡¯t be able to sleep with Xiaoxiao again tonight.
When she walked to the sofa in the living room, a helper came rushing down from upstairs.
¡°Miss, Miss Mu¡¯s cell phone has been ringing.¡±
The helper held the cell phone in her hand and proffered it to her.
Han Qiqing unwittingly took a look and saw the name on the caller ID.
Lu Yichen?
Her expression froze for a moment. Before she could think about it, her hand had already taken the cell phone from the helper.
Holding the cell phone, she looked at the name of the caller ID.
Han Qiqing only felt a feeling of longing surging inside her, and her eyes immediately turned watery. She had not seen him in a long time.
She wondered how he was doing.
However, the painful fact was that whether he was fine or not, he wouldn¡¯te to look for her. He would look for Xiaoxiao instead.
In her daze, she didn¡¯t realize that the phone had stopped ringing.
However, after a few seconds, the cell phone rang again.
It was still Lu Yichen.
Han Qiqing repressed the feelings in her heart. She wondered if something had happened over in America.
Given Lu Yichen¡¯s personality and his current position, it was unusual for him to be looking for Xiaoxiao.
So the remaining possibility was that something had happened to him.
Holding the cell phone in her hand, Han Qiqing stood up immediately. She was about to go out to find Xiaoxiao, but she only stared nkly for a moment.
Xiaoxiao was now in the middle of an intimate moment with Young Master Jie. Should she be interrupting Xiaoxiao at this time?
Moreover, Yin Shaojie could be super jealous. If he were to see Lu Yichen calling Xiaoxiao at this time, he would definitely get angry.
Han Qiqing was at a loss. Should she pass the phone to Xiaoxiao or not?
She had also thought about answering the call, but decided against it as a bad idea. Although Xiaoxiao wouldn¡¯t have minded it, she couldn¡¯t do it. This was a matter of personal privacy.
That was what she thought. But when Lu Yichen made a third call, Qiqing couldn¡¯t help but answer the call.
She was going to say that Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t avable, and if there was anything urgent, she would deliver the message.
Comforting herself, she answered the phone.
¡°Xiaoxiao.¡± Lu Yichen¡¯s voice was heard over the cell phone.
Han Qiqing¡¯s eyes turned watery, tears churning, upon hearing his voice.
Chapter 1076 - How Much Do You Love Him (9)
Chapter 1076: How Much Do You Love Him (9)

She missed him so, so much.
When Lu Yichen was in China, she hadn¡¯t felt this way. Even when he went to America, she also hadn¡¯t felt this way.
Han Qiqing didn¡¯t know what was wrong with her. Her eyes were watery upon hearing his voice, her heart filled withplex feelings.
¡°Xiaoxiao?¡± Lu Yichen said again. There was a little worry in his tone.
Han Qiqing was silent.
After a few seconds of silence, she finally said, ¡°I¡¯m not Xiaoxiao. It¡¯s me¡¡±
Lu Yichen said, ¡°Qiqing, it¡¯s you?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Should she be happy that he could recognize her voice?
She exined tepidly, ¡°Xiaoxiao¡¯s cell phone is with me. I thought that you might be in a hurry to reach her, so I answered the call for her. Is¡ there something you¡¯re calling Xiaoxiao for?¡±
¡°Is she not near you?¡±
Hearing that, Han Qiqing was stunned. He really only wanted to speak with Xiaoxiao?
Han Qiqing nced at the door. She didn¡¯t know if Xiaoxiao had gone back with Yin Shaojie, so she said, ¡°She isn¡¯t here at the moment. She went out. If you¡ Well. Why don¡¯t I inform you when she¡¯s back so that you can call her again.¡±
Initially, she wanted to ask him if there was something urgent he wanted to tell Xiaoxiao, so that she could deliver the message to her. But on second thought, Lu Yichen might not have only wanted to talk to Xiaoxiao personally, so she swallowed her words and didn¡¯te out with it.
Just then, Lu Yichen¡¯s calm voice was heard over the cell phone. ¡°Actually, it¡¯ll be no different if I asked you.¡±
Just upon hearing that, Han Qiqing¡¯s heart skipped a beat.
It would be no different if he were to ask her?
Could she fantasize just for one moment that she and Xiaoxiao had equal standing in his heart?
Han Qiqing immediately gripped the cell phone anxiously. ¡°Um¡ you can ask away. What do you want to ask?¡±
Lu Yichen paused for a moment before saying, ¡°I heard¡ that Xiaoxiao lost her memory. Is this true? How is she? How did she suddenly lose her memory? Did something happen to her?¡±
Even a dense person could tell how worried he was from the flurry of questions.
Han Qiqing¡¯s spirit fell.
¡°How¡ did youe to know about it?¡±
She tried to present herself normally as if answering a friend¡¯s question.
But¡ her acting was quite pathetic.
At that moment, she could only taste bitterness in her mouth, more bitter than the Chinese medicine she had been fed as a child.
The cell phone was silent for a few seconds. Perhaps Lu Yichen had noticed her mood.
Within those few seconds, Han Qiqing¡¯s heart felt like it were suspended as if she were afraid that he would notice how she felt toward him.
She tried to find a topic to divert his attention.
But Lu Yichen said, ¡°Actually, I know a friend in the Student Union. He was the one who told me about it. Qiqing, can you tell me? What happened to Xiaoxiao? How could she have lost her memory? Was she hurt in the head? Is it serious?¡±
He asked the important questions so quickly that she didn¡¯t know how to answer him.
She paused for a few seconds before hearing Lu Yichen urging her over the cell phone. ¡°Qiqing, please tell me, okay? I want to know about Xiaoxiao¡¯s situation.¡±
¡°Are you very worried about her?¡± Han Qiqing asked. Her eyes were gloomy, and her smile looked odd because it was too forced.
Chapter 1077 - How Much Do You Love Him (10)
Chapter 1077: How Much Do You Love Him (10)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
She thought that he wouldn¡¯t answer her or evade the subject.
However, she then heard him say in a low voice, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m very worried about her.¡±
Han Qiqing didn¡¯t expect him to admit it so openly. Her heart jolted and felt awful as if it were being clutched tightly.
There was silence for a while. She said nothing, and Lu Yichen didn¡¯t continue to ask questions.
Han Qiqing finally snapped out of it, and she said in an awkward cadence, ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry now. Xiaoxiao seems to have recovered her memory. She is not injured. All is well.¡±
¡°Lu Yichen,¡± she suddenly called.
He said, ¡°Okay, it¡¯s good that she¡¯s alright. It¡¯s not convenient for me to go back and visit her now. If you see Xiaoxiao, say hello to her for me. Thanks.¡±
But she might not have been listening as she called his name again, ¡°Lu Yichen¡¡±
This time, Lu Yichen took notice. ¡°Is anything the matter?¡±
¡°You¡¡± Han Qiqing mumbled, suddenly nervous, wondering whether she should continue talking to him.
¡°If there¡¯s anything you want to talk about, go ahead,¡± he said thoughtfully.
Initially, Han Qiqing had only wanted to say his name. She only wanted to say his name and have him respond to her. That was all she wanted.
But Han Qiqing hesitated and said, ¡°How¡ are you doing in America? And how is Auntie? When¡¡±
When will you being back?
She was afraid to finish the sentence.
Lu Yichen replied tepidly, ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m fine. My mother¡¯s situation is also pretty good. Thank you. Well, it¡¯s alreadyte. I don¡¯t want to disturb your rest any longer. See you.¡±
¡°Wait!¡± Han Qiqing quickly called out. She didn¡¯t want him to hang up so soon.
She hadn¡¯t seen him for a while. Even if she could only hear his voice, it was already enough to satisfy her longing for him.
Luckily, Lu Yichen heard her and didn¡¯t hang up, asking ¡°Is there anything else you want to talk about?¡±
¡°I¡¡± Han Qiqing¡¯s eyes darted as she frantically searched for an excuse to chat with him longer.
¡°Didn¡¯t you ask me how Xiaoxiao lost her memory? It¡¯s because¡¡±
Although she didn¡¯t know the details of what happened, she had a general idea. When it came to Su Lin¡¯s crazy behavior, she recounted it very vividly.
¡°Though Xiaoxiao lost her memory, she didn¡¯t seem very different from before. It¡¯s just that she didn¡¯t remember us.¡±
¡°Come to think of it, it¡¯s strange how Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t remember any of us, but she only remembered Yin Shaojie. Do you think¡ it¡¯s because of true love?¡±
¡°However, Xiaoxiao was at loggerheads with Yin Shaojie today, so she came to find me and confided in me¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t you think she is silly? She doesn¡¯t even know if she loves Yin Shaojie. The way I see it, she seems like she can¡¯t do without Yin Shaojie.¡±
¡°They have been very close since they were young. No matter what others tried to get between them, it always failed.¡±
Han Qiqing rambled on. When she stopped, she realized that there was no sound on the other end.
Could he have gotten impatient and hung up already?
Han Qiqing felt a little dejected. She said into the phone, ¡°Lu Yichen, are you still there?¡±
Lu Yichen said with a calm and pleasant voice, ¡°Yeah. Do you still want to continue? If there¡¯s nothing else, then I have to attend to some things.¡±
Chapter 1078 - : I Miss You So, So Much (1)
Chapter 1078: I Miss You So, So Much (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Okay, okay, okay, you go do your thing then. Sorry for bothering you. You won¡¯t be angry with me, right?¡± Han Qiqing asked worriedly.
¡°No. I¡¯ll hang up then. Good night.¡±
Lu Yichen¡¯s voice sounded very calm as though what she had just said had absolutely no effect on him.
It was silent over the phone.
Staring at the cell phone, Han Qiqing was, on the contrary, stirred inside.
Was¡ she too mean?
She clearly knew that Lu Yichen liked Xiaoxiao, yet she deliberately said those things to him.
Though what she said was the truth, Han Qiqing suddenly felt uneasy.
She thought that she had taken it too far.
She was restless as she wondered how upset and dejected Lu Yichen might feel.
This was something she had experienced before. Unrequited love was very unpleasant.
Moreover, Lu Yichen was so smart. How could he not have understood the implied meanings of what she said?
Han Qiqing sighed. She raised her hand and hit herself on the head, scolding herself in a soft voice, ¡°You¡¯re a dumbass. How could you do that!¡±
However, her words were like sshed water: she could never take it back.
But if Lu Yichen gave up on Xiaoxiao because of this, wouldn¡¯t it be a good thing?
Han Qiqing had never once thought about benefiting herself by causing a rift between them. She hoped that no one woulde between Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie. Of course, Lu Yichen was doing well as he had never expressed his feelings towards Xiaoxiao nor did he approach Xiaoxiao on his own initiative. This indicated that he was already well aware of where he stood.
However, as Han Qiqing continued to ponder over it, she became more upset.
If Lu Yichen still cared for Xiaoxiao, it would also mean that he was a sentimental person. It was only normal for him to find it hard to move on.
But he had already returned to his position as her friend and didn¡¯t interfere with Xiaoxiao¡¯s love life. This was something that he had handled well enough.
But for her¡ Han Qiqing felt very embarrassed. Why did she say all those things earlier?
Even if Lu Yichen hadn¡¯t intended to take Xiaoxiao away from Yin Shaojie, he still had feelings for Xiaoxiao. How upset would he be after hearing how much Xiaoxiao loved Yiin Shaojie?
Han Qiqing was distressed and restless.
She got up from the sofa, her eyes darting quickly as she thought.
She called the butler over and instructed him to arrange a flight to America tomorrow.
The butler was startled. He asked, ¡°Miss¡ What are you going to America for?¡±
Of course, Han Qiqing wouldn¡¯t tell him the truth. She casually lied, saying, ¡°I¡¯m going to find my mother. Is there a problem with that?¡±
The butler coughed, ¡°But¡ Madam isn¡¯t in America. Madam is in France, so¡ I¡¯ll book a flight to France tomorrow.¡±
¡°No! I¡¯m going to America, not France.¡± Lu Yichen was not in France. Why would she go there?
The butler exined carefully, ¡°Miss, didn¡¯t you say that you were going to look for Madam? Madam is Franc¡¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t say I wanted to go to France! Anyways, just get me a ticket for a flight tomorrow to America, the sooner the better. Understood?¡± Why did she have to exin him? She should have said nothing. Dumbass.
For the first time, Han Qiqing realized just how dumb she was.
Chapter 1079 - I Miss You So, So Much (2)
Chapter 1079: I Miss You So, So Much (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Okay, a flight to America, right? I got it.¡± The butler bowed to her before continuing with his errand.
¡°Who¡¯s going to America tomorrow?¡±
Just then, Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie came walking in together. Mu Xiaoxiao was the one who had asked the question.
Han Qiqing was startled. How could she dare to say that she was going to America to see Lu Yichen?
She hesitated for a moment. Her brain churned out a lie, and she said, ¡°Um¡ I have a friend who will be engaged in a couple of days. He is in America, so I n to¡ go over there and congratte him.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. It seemed like there was no such person within their group of mutual friends?
So she asked, ¡°Is your friend someone I know?¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s expression was stiff. ¡°You¡ don¡¯t know him. Okay, this isn¡¯t the point.¡±
¡°What is the point?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t understand.
¡°It¡¯s nothing important¡ Anyways, I¡¯ll be taking a flight to America tomorrow, okay?¡± Han Qiqing said vaguely.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked confused. ¡°Is that the point?¡±
Han Qiqing looked at Yin Shaojie and grumbled, ¡°Can you watch over your baby? She has to get to the bottom of things.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao gave an innocent look. ¡°I was only asking out of curiosity.¡±
Oh yeah, why didn¡¯t Qiqing mention this when they were having a heart-to-heart talk?
She had only been gone for a little while and Qiqing was acting strange.
Seeing that Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t continue to ask questions, Han Qiqing tried to change the subject.
¡°Have you two made up?¡± she smiled and asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao coughed awkwardly, her eyes didn¡¯t dare to look at Qiqing as she nodded.
Han Qiqing¡¯s eyes squinted suggestively. Were the two doing something in the car earlier?
Needless to say, it definitely wouldn¡¯t be something appropriate for children¡¯s to see.
Han Qiqing asked Xiaoxiao. ¡°Then, now that you two are made up, are you going to go back with him? You¡¯re not going to sleep with me tonight?¡±
¡°Yeah, of course I¡¯m sleeping with you!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao let go of Yin Shaojie, walked over to Qiqing, and hooked her arm around hers.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes narrowed. ¡°What am I to do then?¡±
¡°You¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked around, and her gaze fell upon the sofa in the living room. Initially, she wanted to tell him to sleep on the sofa, but now that they were in the Han¡¯s residence, she couldn¡¯t just do anything she wanted to.
Moreover, there were so many guest rooms in the Han residence and Yin Shaojie was a friend of the Han family so they would likely arrange a room for him.
On the side, the butler said, ¡°Young Master Jie, I have already arranged a guest room for you.¡±
The butler had arranged it, predicting this would happen.
Han Qiqing hugged Xiaoxiao¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Forget him. As long as we can sleep together, all is well.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or to cry. She had the feeling that things weren¡¯t so simple.
Just then, she suddenly noticed Han Qiqing holding her cell phone.
¡°Are you bringing me my cell phone?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
Han Qiqing almost dropped the phone from shock.
She said hesitatingly, ¡°Well¡ your cell phone rang and the helper brought your cell phone to me. I saw that you were still outside with Shaojie¡¡±
¡°Who called me?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was curious. She took the cell phone.
Shockingly, thetest entry was Lu Yichen name.
Yin Shaojie saw it too. His eyes narrowed slightly. There seemed to be a storm brewing behind his ck pupils.

¡°You¡¯re not allowed to return the call,¡± the Great Master Yin said to Mu Xiaoxiao bossily.
¡°Come on. Maybe Lu Yichen has something urgent to find me for. I shouldn¡¯t let him wait,¡± she said.
She thought that something might have happened to Lu Yichen¡¯s mother.
Because Lu Yichen wasn¡¯t someone who wanted to trouble others, he wouldn¡¯t have contacted her if there wasn¡¯t something urgent.
So she thought that perhaps something big had happened.
Hearing that, Yin Shaojie only snorted but he said nothing afterward.
Han Qiqing was watching Mu Xiaoxiao nervously from beside her, thinking about something.
If Xiaoxiao knew that she had picked up her phone without her permission, would she get angry?
Though Xiaoxiao hardly showed her bad temper to her friends, Xiaoxiao was a very principled person. If anyone were to cross her, they would not be able to remain friends anymore.
Yu Zhe was a case in point.
When Han Qiqing saw that she was about to make the call, she suddenly called out, ¡°Xiaoxiao, I¡¯m sorry!¡±
She decided toe out with the truth so that things would not escte.
¡°Sorry for what?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao waspletely puzzled. She was startled when Qiqing suddenly called out to her.
Han Qiqing was very guilty, her head hanging as she said, ¡°Just now¡ I saw Lu Yichen calling you on your phone, so I answered it¡¡±
She would only be making excuses if she were to say that she had been worried that Lu Yichen had something urgent to say to Xiaoxiao.
It was only her selfish desire to hear Lu Yichen¡¯s voice and to find out what he wanted to say to Xiaoxiao that motivated her picking up the call.
She thought that Xiaoxiao would get angry with her.
But Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t. Xiaoxiao simply smiled and said, ¡°Oh, is that so? What did he say to you? Did he have something important that he was calling me for? Did something happen to his mother?¡±
¡°That¡¯s not it.¡± Han Qiqing nced at Yin Shaojie and hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°Lu Yichen knew about the incident of your memory loss, so he called to ask about it. I already told him that you have regained your memory and he hung up after that without saying much.¡±
Actually, she was the one who was talking toward the end of the call. Lu Yichen was only there listening.
Qiqing¡¯s heart throbbed a little.
Although Lu Yichen had a cold demeanor and was aloof with girls, he was indeed an attentive and thoughtful person.
She had been so long-winded because she wanted to have a longer chat with him. She was happy to feel his presence even when he didn¡¯t say anything. Despite all that, he didn¡¯t get impatient with her and had quietly listened to her.
But what about her?
Unlike him, she used Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie to provoke him.
The more Han Qiqing thought, the more depressed she became.
As long as Lu Yichen was in the picture, she would be flustered.
¡°Oh, I see.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. ¡°How did he know that I lost my memory?¡±
¡°He said that someone told him about it. There is someone he knows from the Student Union. Maybe it is¡¡± Han Qiqing said as she cast a furtive nce at Yin Shaojie.
Smiling casually, Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes seemed icy instead.
¡°So what you¡¯re saying is that there is a traitor in our Student Union?¡±
Chapter 1081 - I Miss You So, So Much (4)
Chapter 1081: I Miss You So, So Much (4)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Han Qiqing coughed. ¡°Mr President, perhaps ¡®traitor¡¯¡ is too harsh.¡±
It was not like they were in a spy movie.
Besides, even if people knew about Xiaoxiao¡¯s memory loss, they didn¡¯t know that it was supposed to be a secret, so it was only normal that many people knew.
Yin Shaojie red at Han Qiqing. ¡°What do you suggest I call this person then?¡±
Unlike Mu Xiaoxiao, Han Qiqing wasn¡¯t so bold as to argue with President Yin.
So she didn¡¯t answer him and only smiled awkwardly.
Ignoring them, Mu Xiaoxiao stepped aside to call Lu Yichen.
By the time Yin Shaojie noticed, Mu Xiaoxiao had already talked quite a bit before saying goodbye.
¡°Do you care about him so much?¡± Yin Shaojie said, overtly disyed his jealousy.
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him. ¡°You know about his mother¡¯s situation. Of course I have to care about it until it gets resolved. Or do you expect that I give up halfway?¡±
Even if it wasn¡¯t Lu Yichen¡¯s mother, but a random stranger¡¯s mother, as long as she decided to intervene, she would not give up halfway.
Yin Shaojie snorted, ¡°What did you just say to him? Or did something happen to his mother?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned and shook her head, her brows looking worried.
¡°He didn¡¯t say much besides that he wanted to ask about my situation after hearing about my memory loss. Now that I¡¯m okay, he¡¯s relieved. Then he said that he had something to attend to and hung up.¡±
She instinctively told Yin Shaojie everything lest this jealous fellow say that she was hiding things from him again.
¡°But¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nced at Han Qiqing. ¡°Qiqing, when you talked to him earlier, did you notice anything off about him? I have the feeling that his tone was different.¡±
She really hoped that it was only needless worry.
However, when Han Qiqing heard that, she nodded vigorously and said, ¡°Yeah. That¡¯s what I thought earlier. That was why I¡¡±
Yin Shaojie suddenly came to a realization. ¡°So when you said that you were going to America, you wanted to go there to find this guy?¡±
The Great Master Yin scorned her.
Han Qiqing was silent.
In contrast, Mu Xiaoxiao was very understanding of what she was going through.
She remembered when flying back to America, she kept saying that she didn¡¯t want to think about Yin Shaojie anymore. She didn¡¯t want to have anything to do with him anymore. But in her mind, she couldn¡¯t control her longing to see him.
So she thought that Qiqing was probably going through the same thing.
It was a longing that couldn¡¯t be controlled, even if they had to take a half-day flight to another city.
Actually, it hardly mattered to them whether they were to travel within China or overseas.
Mu Xiaoxiao was also quite at a loss. She asked Qiqing, ¡°Do you really want to go to America? You know that Lu Yichen doesn¡¯t like this¡ Qiqing, I know you are worried about him, but if you do something that he doesn¡¯t like, given his personality, he may get angry.¡±
Hearing that, there was obvious hesitation on Han Qiqing¡¯s face.
But¡ she really wanted to go!
Before Han Qiqing could reply, Yin Shaojie reached out and took Xiaoxiao¡¯s shoulder into his arms very tightly as though he were going to knead Xiaoxiao into his body.
¡°You really know him well.¡± He looked down, giving her a fake smile.

Hearing her manner of speaking as though it were saying ¡®I know him,¡¯ Yin Shaojie seemed to have been filled with jealousy as everything he said smelled of jealousy. It was as though he were drowning in it.
Just then, Yin Shaojie¡¯s brooding, dark eyes suddenly turned to Qiqing as he said, ¡°Why don¡¯t we all go together to America? We have our own business there as well. We can look out for each other.¡±
If they were going as a group, Han Qiqing¡¯s mother would feel much more reassured.
¡°¡®We?¡¯ Who are you going with?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojieughed and hugged her shoulder. If it wasn¡¯t for Han Qiqing and other helpers being around, he would have kissed her.
¡°Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re still so dumb after regaining your memory!¡±
¡°What the heck, saying that I¡¯m dumb again?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao red at him.
Yin Shaojie stroked his finger on her soft cheek, and joked, ¡°¡®We¡¯ of course means you and me. Do you even need to ask?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned and put her palm to her forehead, saying, ¡°Maybe my reaction is a little slow because I only just regained my memory, okay?¡±
¡°You call this ¡®a little slower¡¯? You¡¯re obviously just slow!¡±
¡°You¡¯re the slow one! My brain hasn¡¯t been used for a few days, so I have to try using it again. That makes sense, right?¡±
Listening to them teasing each other, Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t bear to continue watching.
Couldn¡¯t they just disy their affection for each other at home?
Must they do it in front of her? Had they never considered how sad and lonely she felt?
Comparing herself to them, she was sad and weary. All that was left for her was to give up.
¡°Okay, let¡¯s get back on topic.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao chose to let him off for now.
She asked, ¡°Qiqing, are you really going to America to find Lu Yichen?¡±
Han Qiqing hesitated for a moment. Thinking that it was useless to lie to Xiaoxiao, she nodded and said honestly, ¡°Yes. I just happen to be free, and there is something I need to do overseas, so I thought to visit Lu Yichen and see how his mother is doing.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, ¡°Okay, go ahead then!¡±
¡°Xiaoxiao, you really think I should go?¡± Han Qiqing was joyous as though she had heard some great news.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed, ¡°It¡¯s your own legs. I can¡¯t stop you if you want to go. If you wanna go, then go.¡±
However, she looked at Yin Shaojie, puzzled. ¡°You said that we¡¯re going to America as well. What do you mean by that? Why are we going to America?¡±
Ah! Could it be that he wanted to take her home?
Mu Xiaoxiao hadn¡¯t been home for a while. She probably hadn¡¯t made any calls to her father.
Although her father was reassured that the Yin family would take good care of her, she still enjoyed the feeling of telling her family that she was okay.
Yin Shaojie looked at her and asked, ¡°Don¡¯t you realize that there is someone missing amongst us? I haven¡¯t seen this person in the past few days.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly. Because she had only recently gotten back her memory , it was hard to sort out all her thoughts so quickly.
She thought for about ten seconds but still didn¡¯t get it, so she looked to Yin Shaojie for an answer.

Just then, Han Qiqing snapped her fingers loudly, and she asked Yin Shaojie. ¡°Are you talking about Xiaomeng? Oh yeah, it seems like Xiaomeng doesn¡¯t know that you lost your memory. But, Xiaoxiao, now that your memory is back, you don¡¯t need to tell her that, right?¡±
Xiaomeng cared so much about Xiaoxiao as a friend. If she knew that Xiaoxiao had lost her memory, she would probably be very worried.
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao then realized. ¡°Oh yeah, where¡¯s Xiaomeng? It seems like I haven¡¯t seen Xiaomeng or Ye Sijue around recently.¡±
Could the two be secretly doing something?
Mu Xiaoxiao looked to Yin Shaojie and asked, ¡°You know something, don¡¯t you? Tell me!¡±
She didn¡¯t like people leaving her hanging.
She was easily excitable and really couldn¡¯t stand it when people did that.
Yin Shaojie sighed and said, ¡°When you lost your memory, Xiaomeng¡ was taken away by a man.¡±
Before he could finish saying, Han Qiqing and Xiaoxiao both screamed at the same time.
¡°What! Xiaomeng was taken away by a man?¡±
¡°What? Xiaomeng was taken away by a man!¡±
Xiaoxiao looked at Yin Shaojie curiously, grabbing and shaking his arm. ¡°What happened? Tell us what happened exactly!¡±
Yin Shaojie thought for a moment how he should say it.
¡°So, it happened like this. Xiaomeng called Sijue strangely and said that she was leaving. After she hung up, she was no longer contactable. Don¡¯t you find it strange?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°It¡¯s quite strange¡ Why would Xiaomeng suddenly leave? You said that a man took her away. Who is the man?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s brow wrinkled as he said, ¡°I don¡¯t know who the man is either. He is a foreigner. I couldn¡¯t see his face from the surveince camera. But from the way he was interacting with Xiaomeng, he could be an acquaintance of hers.¡±
¡°An acquaintance¡ Who could he be?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her chin as she pondered.
A terrible thought struck Han Qiqing, and she eximed, ¡°Could it be Xiaomeng¡¯s boyfriend from America that she was forced to leave?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t think Xiaomeng had a boyfriend in America, did she?¡±
She thought for a moment, but still wasn¡¯t too sure about it.
After all, in America, girls like Xiaomeng would have had a lot of boyfriends at her age.
It would be weird if someone like Xiaomeng didn¡¯t have a boyfriend.
Han Qiqing said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter! Anyways, we are sure that Xiaomeng went back to America, right? Xiaoxiao, you and Xiaomeng have known each other for so long. You should know her address, right? Let¡¯s fly to America and visit Lu Yichen, and then we¡¯ll look for Xiaomeng!¡±
For some inexplicable reason, they began forming a group.
Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°Okay! That¡¯s settled then. I think it¡¯s pretty interesting. Jie, what do you think? Don¡¯t you hate Lu Yichen? And William is also¡ I think it¡¯s better that you don¡¯t go.¡±
Was she joking?
Even if they were not looking for Lu Yichen, he couldn¡¯t just let two girls go somewhere like America by themselves.
Yin Shaojie red at her and said, ¡°I¡¯m going!¡±
She dared to leave him behind!

Mu Xiaoxiao pondered. She thought she¡¯d better give William a call. Perhaps he would know where Xiaomeng was.
The ringtone rang for a while before the call was connected.
William¡¯s voice was unclear, and hoarse, sounding as though he hadn¡¯t woken up yet.
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. Shouldn¡¯t it be noon in America at this time? Why was he still sleeping?
¡°William, it¡¯s me, Xiaoxiao. Is it convenient to talk now?¡± she asked.
¡°Xiaoxiao? What¡¯s up?¡± William¡¯s voice had a heavy nasally sound. He seemed to be talking to someone else in a soft voice.
Mu Xiaoxiao heard another male voice.
¡°You¡¯re still at it? Stop leaning over here. Go away!¡±
William¡¯s voice seemed a little unpleasant. There were noises of bodies pping together. People not in the know might even think that there might be some fighting going on.
Mu Xiaoxiao almost immediately realized who he was with. She coughed awkwardly, put the cell phone further from her ear as she didn¡¯t want to eavesdrop on their ¡®restricted¡¯ conversation.
Yin Shaojie and Han Qiqing watched her behavior with a puzzled look.
After a while, William seemed to be done with his situation. His voice was clearer. As he drank water, he talked to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°I¡¯m okay now. What¡¯s up?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao asked him directly. ¡°You should know about Annie returning to America, right? Did you send someone to get her?¡±
William was silent for a moment, and he said bluntly, ¡°It wasn¡¯t me. But I know a little about her returning to America.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. ¡°Who was the one who took her? She went in such a rush that we didn¡¯t even have the time to say goodbye.¡±
William said, ¡°Chris. Besides me, only Chris would bring her back to America.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned, and she quickly asked, ¡°Who is Chris?¡±
She seemed to have heard this name from somewhere before.
Had Annie mentioned it to her before?
¡°He¡¯s Annie¡¯s fianc¨¦, don¡¯t you know?¡± Williamughed.
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a while. Then she eximed, ¡°What? Annie¡¯s fianc¨¦? Annie¡ When did she get engaged? Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡±
¡°They are not officially engaged yet, but they will be very soon. Xiaoxiao, do you want toe over?¡± William asked her. From his tone, he seemed quite pleased with her sister¡¯s soon-to-be fianc¨¦.
Knowing him for so many years, Mu Xiaoxiao knew how much William cared for his sister, Annie.
If he felt so at ease giving her sister to that man, it must mean that Chris was a remarkable person.
Mu Xiaoxiao was worried for Ye Sijue.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, nodded, and said, ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m going.¡±
William replied, ¡°Okay, then. Let me know when you have booked a flight so that I can make the arrangements.¡±
¡°Alright, see you then.¡±
Just then, another man¡¯s voice was heard over the phone. In a thick, deep, and bossy voice, he said, ¡°Alright, no more chatting.¡±
Before Mu Xiaoxiao could react to it, the call was disconnected.
She was left staring nkly at her cell phone.
A question floated in her mind: ¡°If Xiaomeng is going to be engaged, then what about Ye Sijue?¡±
**
Meanwhile, in America.
Ye Sijue wore his suit. With a tie in his hand, the doorbell rang just as he was about to tie it.
He went over to the door, looked through the peephole, and opened the door.
The person who came in was Tian Yunxin.
She looked around the presidential suite and was stunned. The suite was heavenpared to the suite that had been arranged for her.
Chapter 1085 - I Miss You So, So Much (8)

So that¡¯s why it was great to have money!
Tian Yunxin schemed internally. Even though she wasn¡¯t born with a silver spoon in her mouth, she could still be the wife of a CEO!
The Ye¡¯s only had one child and thus the entire family fortune would belong to him in the future.
Tian Yunxin was building castles in the air now. Her brain was already thinking: Wouldn¡¯t the Ye fortune be all hers after Ye Sijue and her got married?
She daydreamed about this for a while, for she still had her duties as secretary to fulfil.
Everyone in thepany knew that Young Master Ye hated people who couldn¡¯t keep their public and private affairs separated. If anyone vited this, Young Master Ye would not hesitate to send the person packing.
Tian Yunxin stood to the side and gave a short summary of the next day¡¯s schedule.
There was actually a schedule to be followed today, but Ye Sijue suddenly cleared it without stating any reasons.
Tian Yunxin looked at the suit he was wearing and started to make guesses. Could Young Master Ye be attending some sort of function at night? With his status, it wouldn¡¯t be surprising to hear that he had been invited to some elite banquet for the wealthy.
With her scheme in mind, she smiled charmingly as she walked over and touched his necktie, trying to help him.
Ye Sijue¡¯s expression was cold as he said, ¡°There¡¯s no need for that.¡±
Tian Yunxin paused. She felt that it was really unfair.
Why was he so gentle towards the girl named Xiaomeng, but so frosty towards her?
She watched him tie his necktie.
Young Master Ye looked mesmerizingly handsome when she was dressed formally.
Tian Yunxin hesitated before speaking, ¡°Then¡ Young Master Ye, are you going to a banquet? Do you need me as your femalepanion? I brought the appropriate attire¡¡±
Ye Sijue interrupted her before she could finish speaking.
¡°There¡¯s no need.¡±
Tian Yunxin looked a little unhappy, but still wanted to persuade him. Thus, she thickened her skin and said, ¡°Young Master Ye, do you mind bringing me there? I can guarantee that I won¡¯t cause you any trouble. Also, isn¡¯t it the norm to bring a femalepanion to such events? Young Master Ye, you can treat it like you¡¯re bringing me out to see the world.¡±
Upon seeing that she was about to touch his shoulder, Ye Sijue dodged her smoothly.
Tian Yunxin touched air and could only stare at him, surprised.
Ye Sijue¡¯s attitude was very clear. He didn¡¯t even say a single word to her.
If she continued to pester him, the only person who would be embarrassed was her.
Tian Yunxin didn¡¯t dare to continue her antics. She had heard of Ye Sijue making the Human Resources Department fire a secretary who had tagged along on a business trip because she had done something wrong.
She didn¡¯t want to follow in that person¡¯s footsteps.
However, this didn¡¯t mean that she was going to give up, of course.
Being able to be alone with Young Master Ye was such a rare opportunity, and she had to hold it by its reins.
Tian Yunxin smirked, as though she had thought of an idea.
Ye Sijue was going out now.
Tian Yunxin¡¯s pasted an ¡°on-duty¡± look and followed him out.
She then saw a Rolls-Royce in front of her and was shocked.
She was just wondering who the owner of the car could be when she saw Ye Sijue walking closer to it. She then saw the chauffeur open the door for him and he got in.
Tian Yunxin watched them leave before she looked away, internally affirming her goal even more¡ª to be the wife of a CEO!
The gears in her head turned and she began to scheme.
¡
In the car.
Ye Sijue looked at the scenery and neon lights passing by him through the window.
He was repeating Xiaomeng¡¯s name in his heart.
Where are you¡
They hadn¡¯t been apart for very long, but he missed her already.
Chapter 1086 - I Miss You So, So Much (9)

He had never been fearful of anything, but he was scared now.
He was scared that he would never be able to find her.
Ye Sijue¡¯s eyes were downcast. The memories of him and Xiaomeng together rose in his mind. He had never smiled more in his entire life.
It was her who taught him what it meant to be touched in the heart.
It was her who made him understand what missing someone was like.
However, she was so cruel. She left after saying she wouldn¡¯t, and didn¡¯t even show her face onest time.
Ye Sijue had never imagined that there would be a day that he would read someone wrong.
He had thought that Mo Xiaomeng was a soft girl, and that it would be too easy to employ his methods on her to get her to stay by his side. It was supposed to be effortless.
However, right now, he had been pped across the face.
She was too cruel.
Was he really that unimportant in her heart?
She could have abandoned him at any moment. A ruthlessness overcame Ye Sijue¡¯s face. He looked away from the window, closed his eyes, and ced his arm against them.
He arrived at the event venue after a short drive.
The ce was lit brilliantly and it looked gorgeous. The men donned Western suits, while the women wore exquisite evening dresses.
After showing his invitation letter for inspection, he entered. Cups of wine were being freely passed around.
However, one nce was all it took to realize that everyone here was an American bigshot.
There were some whom Ye Sijue had seen before and others who Ye Sijue only knew the name of but had never met.
The host today was Duke Berg who was very famous in America. One didn¡¯t have to think about how much of a big shot this Duke Berg was from all the big shots attending this banquet today.
Ye Sijue scooped up a ss of champagne with his fingers and strolled around slowly.
In this country it was a must to bring apanion to attend banquets. It showed how much one respected the event.
Looking across the room, everyone had brought a female or malepanion with them.
Ye Sijue was the only one who hade alone.
When he entered, all the women couldn¡¯t help but to look at him, partially because he was too gorgeous-looking and partially because he hadn¡¯t brought a femalepanion.
How could someone as handsome and elegant as him not bring a femalepanion?
The crowd was perplexed no matter how hard they thought about it.
However, this was good news to the singledies who were around Ye Sijue¡¯s age.
There were already people checking out Ye Sijue¡¯s discreetly.
Some of the girls were a little more dramatic. They took out their phones and took photos of him secretly, posting his picture on Facebook hurriedly as they cupped a hand over their infatuated smiles.
Ye Sijue was long used to this kind of attention, even though today¡¯s event was different.
Even so, Ye Sijue wasn¡¯t inferior to them in any aspect. His aura was noble yet leisurely, and he walked around slowly.
Just then, at the door.
A taxi stopped and Tian Yunxin, wearing a short purple dress, got out. From her Chanel bag, she took out a note and handed it to the driver.
She walked closer to the building. Her heart rose with excitement as she observed the gorgeous clubhouse.
She noticed the people in front with theirpanions, entering after showing their invitations.
However, Tian Yuxin did not have an invitations. There was no way she was getting in unless there was someone who brought her in.

She looked around. She saw a man who had arge beer belly.
The man didn¡¯t have a femalepanion with him.
Tian Yunxin puffed her chest out to show off the generous cleavage her V-neck dress was showing off. She smiled charmingly and walked over.
She was really smart and didn¡¯t start the conversation with him first. Instead, she walked towards him, and proceeded to pretend to twist her ankle, falling towards him.
The man reached out to hold her instinctively, of course.
Tian Yunxin pressed against his chest on purpose and caressed his neck suggestively. In a pitiful voice, she said, ¡°Dear sir, do you think you can help me with something? My boyfriend has already gone in and abandoned me here and I can¡¯t get in without an invitation. Can you help me out and bring me inside? Please, please.¡±
Her pleading voice touched the man¡¯s heart and he nodded without thinking. ¡°Sure, of course.¡±
¡°Really? Thank you so much!¡± Tian Yunxin said as she walked to his side and hugged his arm intimately, even rubbing her chest against it.
The man swallowed his saliva as he teased her. His wife was long thrown to the back of his mind.
¡°Shall we go in?¡± Tian Yunxin urged him gently. It was better for them to enter as soon as possible to avoid any further trouble.
The man returned to his senses. It was only then that he seemed to remember something and looked away to a group of women close by.
One of them was his wife.
Since his wife was with the rich women, she didn¡¯t have to enter with an invitation.
The man looked away and turned to Tian Yunxin. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go in,¡± he said.
Tian Yunxin sashayed gracefully as she held his arm and entered the hall.
She was stunned by the splendor of the hall. Until the man¡¯s arm snaked around her waist and leaned forward to kiss her, anyway. Luckily, her reflexes were fast enough and she avoided his advances with a smile.
In order to prevent him from bing angry, she leaned forward and gave him a peck on his cheek.
¡°Thank you. I¡¯m going to look for that scumbag first. I¡¯ll contact you if I¡¯m free.¡±
¡°Do you want me to punish him for you?¡± The man smiled as he said. His arm was still secure around her waist, and he was looking at her pervertedly.
¡°It¡¯s alright. I think I should try to understand the situation first. What if¡ I was the one who misunderstood him? Don¡¯t you think?¡± Tian Yunxin pretended to be understanding and open-minded.
This worked wonders with the man as expected and he praised her, ¡°You¡¯re such a good woman. Tell me if he bullies you. I¡¯ll help you.¡±
After that, he pulled her close by her waist and leaned his fat, piggy lips into her face.
Tian Yunxin was stupefied and almost lost control and pushed him away.
Luckily, the man saw his wifeing in and released her quickly. However, he still leered at her. Whispering into her ear, he said, ¡°Baby, I¡¯ll talk to youter.¡±
After he walked away, Tian Yunxin wiped the ce he had kissed.
This banquet hall was simply toorge. Ye Sijue couldn¡¯t be found in the crowd just by looking around.
It was only after she walked for a while that she noticed a figure surrounded by a huge group of girls.
Tian Yunxin focused her gaze on the figure and her face lit up with delight. Was this Young Master Ye?

Tian Yunxin tugged at her one-shouldered dress and revealed her sexy shoulders. She then stepped forward, sashaying as she walked.
¡°Excuse me, sorry.¡±
Tian Yunxin pried the crowd apart and walked to its center.
She only needed one look to tell how annoyed Ye Sijue was. She instantly felt delighted. Ye Sijue would be really grateful towards her for her help this time, right? Their rtionship would have the chance to progress further.
¡°So it turns out you¡¯re here, Young Master Ye. I have been looking all over for you,¡± she called out charmingly as she walked over. She was about to hug his arm, but remembering that he didn¡¯t like it, suppressed the urge and only walked over to his side.
She shot a repelling gaze at the women around them as she smiled charmingly and said, ¡°Do you all have something to discuss with my malepanion?¡±
Some of the rich missies saw her arrival and left quickly, disappointed.
Some of the rich missies looked at Tian Yunxin in disbelief.
¡°Who are you? I saw him entering alone just now. How can you be his femalepanion?¡±
¡°Right, I don¡¯t believe it either. Don¡¯t try to scam your way in.¡±
¡°What evidence do you have to prove that you¡¯re his femalepanion? Prove it to us!¡±
Tian Yunxin smiled confidently as she looked at Ye Sijue. Whispering in Chinese, she said, ¡°Cooperate with me, Young Master Ye. This will prevent them from harassing you further.¡±
Ye Sijue¡¯s grave gazended on her as he asked, ¡°Why are you here?¡±
¡°Uh¡ I came here with a friend. He was short a femalepanion. I never imagined that I would be attending the same banquet as you, Young Master Ye.¡±
Ye Sijue didn¡¯t show any sign of investigating any further. He was uninterested in other people¡¯s businesses. So long his secretary did her job, he didn¡¯t care what she did off-work.
Tian Yunxin urged hastily, ¡°Young Master Ye, you wouldn¡¯t want these women to bother you, right? They will stop if you just tell them that you already have a femalepanion.¡±
Western girls had a lot of initiative. When they saw someone they liked, they would go all out and chase a person until they got him.
Ye Sijue wasn¡¯t really interested in women. Thus, he was unhappy and irritated to be surrounded by so many women.
He thought about Tian Yunxin¡¯s suggestion for two seconds and decided that it was the best course of action.
Thus, he reached out and wrapped an arm around Tian Yunxin and told the girls in front, ¡°Yes, she is my femalepanion.¡±
Upon hearing this, the girls dispersed quickly, feeling sorry for themselves.
Ye Sijue released his hands the next second.
However, Tian Yunxin immediately hugged his arms right after. Upon seeing that he was about to struggle instinctively, she said hurriedly, ¡°Young Master Ye, please don¡¯t push me away so hurriedly or they¡¯ll see through us. Just pretend that I¡¯m out here with you on a business trip. It¡¯s one of my secretarial duties, anyway.¡±
Ye Sijue shot a cold gaze around him and realized that the women who had surrounded him were still eyeing him covetously.
He frowned involuntarily. He was indeed feeling a little vexed from the Western girls¡¯ over-enthusiastic advances.
Also, this wasn¡¯t a usual function, and it wouldn¡¯t be good to disy an attitude of outright rejection.
Thus, after thinking for a while, he agreed to Tian Yunxin¡¯s suggestion.

Upon seeing that he didn¡¯t reject her, Tian Yunxin was over the moon. She held his arm, basking in the crowd¡¯s envious gazes as she strutted alongside him.
It was then that her vanity reached its peak. She swore to herself that she would snag Young Master Ye and be the wife of the future CEO of the Ye Corporation!
Tian Yunxin¡¯s chin lifted as she thought about this, confidence glowing brightly on her exquisitely powdered face.
Meanwhile.
A worldwide limited edition Lincoln drove up and stopped at the entrance.
A stunning Western man got out of the car and walked over to the passenger seat.
He opened the car door and offered his hand in a gentlemanly fashion.
A little hand as fair as white jade ced itself on his hand. A pair of fair and slender legs then emerged, her feet encased in exquisite heels studded with diamonds.
The attention of the crowd seemed to be seized by the sight, and their gazes all turned towards them.
They saw an angelic girl step out of the car. Her exquisite little face looked as though it was God¡¯s most perfect creation.
Some people recognized the gentleman beside her, and they started to converse spiritedly.
¡°Isn¡¯t that Prince Chris? Who is that girl beside him? She¡¯s so pretty!¡±
¡°I hear that Prince Chris is about to be engaged. That¡¯s probably his fianc¨¦e, right? They look so well-matched.¡±
¡°Given his background, Prince Chris¡¯s fianc¨¦e must be something.¡±
Annie couldn¡¯t help but hear the voices discussing them when she stepped out of the car.
Her attention slipped a little, and the high-heel beneath her foot wobbled, almost twisting her ankle.
Chris caught her by the waist adroitly and pulled her into his embrace without missing a beat.
¡°Annie, you¡¯re distracted again,¡± he smiled as he said. Even though his tone was admonishing, his eyes held a gentle smile.
Annie stabilized herself and moved back a little so that he would release the hand that he was holding her with.
She pouted as she exined, ¡°These shoes are a little too tall. I haven¡¯t worn high-heels in a while, so I¡¯m not used to them.¡±
She was referring to the time when she had been in China. She hadn¡¯t worn high-heels during that period as she didn¡¯t need to attend any banquets.
Chris lifted his elbow so that she could hold on to him. This way, she could use him for support.
Annie was wearing a strapless champagne-colored gown tonight. All her clothes were specially made designer exclusives, and they were one of a kind which meant that her outfit would never sh with someone else¡¯s.
Their arrival attracted the crowd¡¯s attention.
It was partly due to their pleasant appearances which made others want to steal more nces at them.
Even the host of the banquet, Duke Berg, came over to greet them when he got wind of their arrival.
Annie sustained a smile on her face, her manners perfect.
She was used to these types of functions. Thus, she didn¡¯t feel nervous and was natural in her etiquette.
However, she didn¡¯t know why she was feeling awkward today.
She suddenly felt that functions like these were really boring, and that it was much more meaningful to hang out with Xiaoxiao and the rest.
Thinking about Xiaoxiao made her think of Ye Sijue involuntarily.

Was he angry when she suddenly left?
Chris was entertaining some important people when he turned to look at her. She had an odd expression on her face so he excused himself to check on her.
He pulled Annie as they walked forward. Annie then snapped out of her thoughts, puzzled as she asked him, ¡°You¡¯re done talking already?¡±
¡°Yeah. There¡¯s nothing much to talk about. What¡¯s the matter with you? Are you unwell? You don¡¯t look too good,¡± Chris asked her worriedly.
Annie shook her head and said, ¡°No.¡±
Chris wouldn¡¯t just let her bluff her way out of this so easily. He pointed to her nose and said, ¡°You¡¯re still denying? You were in a daze just now. What were you thinking about? Annie, ever since you came back, you have been lost in thought. You didn¡¯t do this in the past.¡±
Annie was puzzled. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with being lost in thought? It¡¯s boring, so I lose myself in my thoughts.¡±
¡°Boring?¡± Chris stared at her little face, his voice sounding hurt as he said, ¡°Do you feel bored when you¡¯re with me? What you say makes me sad.¡±
¡°It¡¯s not like that¡¡± Annie hurriedly dismissed it.
¡°Okay then. It¡¯s my fault. I should have found a way for you to be happy, otherwise you wouldn¡¯t be bored.¡± Chris took the me for it.
After all, he was about to be her fianc¨¦, making her happy was part of his duties.
Annie looked up at the bright crystalmp above her, which brought out the ssiness of the banquet hall.
Though she had already gotten used to the scene here, her mind was distracted in the moment as she pictured Ye Sijue and all the beautiful scenery she had seen back when she was in China.
She realized that she preferred the life she had back in China.
Unfortunately, she couldn¡¯t return to that anymore.
Those wonderful days were gone forever.
As Annie thought about Ye Sijue, she couldn¡¯t help but feel dejected.
Their paths wouldn¡¯t cross again, would they?
Chris arranged the hair near her temples. Bring his mouth to her ear, he said thoughtfully, ¡°Let¡¯s go take a walk in the courtyard, shall we? Maybe this will help you feel better.¡±
¡°Mm, okay,¡± Annie agreed.
Thus, she took Chris¡¯s arm as they walked to the courtyard that was connected to the banquet hall.
The breeze caressed them. The air temperature was not too low, and the wind wasn¡¯t strong.
But Chris, in a gentlemanly manner, took off his coat and draped it over her shoulder.
¡°No need. You wear it.¡± Annie shook her head at him.
¡°No can do. You are my precious. If you catch a cold, I will be very distressed.¡± Chris said with a smile, insisting that she put on the coat.
Annie didn¡¯t know what to do with him, so she just left it on.
The two found a ce to sit. Annie looked up at the pitch-ck, night sky, her heart stirring.
She asked Chris in a soft voice, ¡°We see the same moon no matter which country we¡¯re in, right?¡±
Ye Sijue, are you watching the moon right now?
If you are watching, then we are looking at the same moon.
Chris gazed deeply at her little face as if he could see her emotions, and he asked, ¡°Are you thinking about someone?¡±
It didn¡¯t feel right to shake or nod her head, so she kept silent instead.

Chris said, ¡°Are you not going to share what happened in China with me? Annie, we grew up together. If you have something on your mind, do you think you can hide it from me?¡±
Annie looked up at him. ¡°You can tell?¡±
¡°Yeah. I¡¯m a man. If I can¡¯t tell when you¡¯re by my side and distracted, then I¡¯m a failure.¡± Chris said in a soft tone.
Annie hesitated for a moment and said, ¡°I just¡ miss the friends that I met in China.¡±
Actually, those were heartfelt words.
She really couldn¡¯t bear leaving the friends she had known in China, friends like Qiqing, Song Shijun, and others. Hanging out with them made her feel very happy.
Of course, the person that she was even more reluctant to leave was¡ Ye Sijue.
Chris asked jokingly, ¡°Is there a man in the group of people that you can¡¯t bear to part with?¡±
Although he personally went to China to bring her back, he only used her location to find her. He did not know the people she had met when she was in China.
Of course, it wouldn¡¯t be difficult if he wanted to know.
But he respected her privacy, so he hadn¡¯t investigated it as he wanted to hear it directly from her.
Annie paused for a moment. Then she nodded and said, ¡°Yes.¡±
She thought for a moment and added, ¡°There are a few of them. They are all Xiaoxiao¡¯s friends. They are very interesting people.¡±
It was not the first time that Chris had heard her mentioning Xiaoxiao¡¯s name. Heughed, ¡°It seems like Xiaoxiao is an important friend to you. I want to meet her if it¡¯s possible. Of course, I don¡¯t want to overstep my bounds. I¡¯m just curious as to what kind of girl she is.¡±
He raised his hands jokingly and said, ¡°Geez. Okay then. I admit that I¡¯m jealous.¡±
Annie was amused by him. ¡°Why are you jealous of Xiaoxiao?¡±
Chris suddenly thought of something. ¡°Oh yeah, our engagement is in a couple of days time. Why don¡¯t you invite these friends from China toe?¡±
¡°Well¡¡± Annie hesitated. Ye Sijue emerged in her mind.
Inviting Ye Sijue to her engagement dinner?
She thought that this was an extremely bad suggestion.
She couldn¡¯t imagine that situation at all.
Thus, she shook her head and said, ¡°I think we¡¯d better not. Xiaoxiao doesn¡¯t likeing to these kinds of events. Her family is very low-key. Moreover, this is only an engagement, not the wedding.¡±
Actually, if she were to tell him about Xiaoxiao¡¯s background, Chris would definitely know about it.
¡°We¡¯ll invite them to the wedding then,¡± Chris said. Noticing that the wind was getting stronger, he helped to gather her coat around her.
Looking at him only wearing a shirt, she said, ¡°I think we¡¯d better go in.¡±
Chrisughed, ¡°Are you feeling bad for me? Afraid that I¡¯ll catch a cold?¡±
¡°Yeah. If you get sick, then we¡¯ll have to change the star of the show at the engagement dinner.¡± Annie lightened up and cracked a joke.
Thus, the two got up and went to the ballroom.
Annie was going to take off the coat and return it to him, but Chris declined and told her to get to the ballroom first.
However, just as they reached the door, Annie halted. A pair of gem-like, dark blue eyes widened in astonishment.
Up ahead, Ye Sijue was holding hands with a beautiful and alluring woman.

Chapter 1092: He Was Angry (1)

Annie stared nkly. There was astonishment on her little face. Her eyes blinked as she wondered if she were hallucinating.
How could Ye Sijue be here?
However, no matter how many times she blinked her eyes, the person before her was clearly Ye Sijue.
And wasn¡¯t his femalepanion the mean Secretary Tian?
What Annie had not expected was that Ye Sijue actually brought the secretary along on him on his business trip here in America.
¡°Annie? What¡¯s the matter?¡± Chris asked upon noticing that she was acting oddly.
He was about look where she was looking when Annie grabbed him and they retreated a few steps.
¡°Nothing.¡± Annie¡¯s voice was trembling slightly as she said this.
At this moment, her thoughts were chaotic. She didn¡¯t know if she was happy or angry.
Ever since she returned to America, she couldn¡¯t help but think about Ye Sijue everyday. She wanted to see him. She wanted to hear his voice. She wanted to touch him.
However, when she saw him so unexpectedly, she was nonplussed. She didn¡¯t know if she should meet him.
Just then, a few wealthy missies walked out from the banquet hall, and when they saw Annie, they called out excitedly, ¡°Annie! You¡¯re here?¡±
Hearing that, Ye Sijue, who was walking to a corner, stopped in his tracks and turned to look in the direction the sound came from.
However, he only saw a few well-dressed wealthy women gathered in a group. Mo Xiaomeng was nowhere to be seen.
In that moment, disappointment came over his elegant face.
It wasn¡¯t her.
¡°Young Master Ye?¡± Tian Yunxin tugged at his arm. Seeing something off in his expression, her womanly instinct was telling her that he was thinking of some other woman.
The banquet tonight was not the usual kind. The people attending all had a certain level of status and influence in America, so it had gathered lots of wealthy missies from big families.
Although Tian Yunxin believed that she was very attractive, she had hardly any status to speak of. Compared with these wealthy missies, she was an individual with no power. She had no chance of winning.
No. I mustn¡¯t let Young Master Ye be stolen from me.
Tian Yunxin schemed in her mind.
Walking out of sight of those woman, Ye Sijue then tried to free Tian Yunxin¡¯s hand from his arm.
Although Tian Yunxin was very reluctant to let go, she knew that she couldn¡¯t be too clingy. In order to capture, one must let loose. Thus, she let go of Ye Sijue¡¯s hand magnanimously.
¡°Young Master Ye, what do you want to drink? I¡¯ll go get it,¡± she asked in a gentle voice.
¡°No need.¡± Ye Sijue replied indifferently. He was still looking in the same direction.
Tian Yunxin noticed that there were several wealthy young women gathered there. All of them were very young, pretty, and ssy.
Could Young Master Ye really have taken a liking to one of them?
It seemed like it.
Otherwise, a man wouldn¡¯t be staring so steadily at a woman.
Tian Yunxin was jealous. Just who was this girl?
In the courtyard.
Upon hearing someone calling her name, Annie was like a startled bird. She took Chris and they ran quickly to hide in a secluded location.
Chris looked at her funnily and curiously. ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve seen you run so fast. What¡¯s wrong?¡±

¡°Wait¡ Ah!¡± Annie only meant to avoid a certain someone but in a moment of carelessness, she stepped on the tail of her dress. Her body tilted, and she almost fell.
Chris caught her into his arms in time and saved her from the fall.
Annie rested in his arms and panted.
¡°Scared me,¡± she said, her beautiful eyes ncing at the door of the banquet hall. Realizing that Ye Sijue didn¡¯t follow her, she heaved a breath of relief, her little hand sped over her chest.
Chris looked at her. ¡°Hey, just who did you see that¡¯s making you so scared?¡±
¡°I¡¡± Annie looked up and met his eyes. Realizing that their pose was quite suggestive, she quickly pushed him away and steadied herself.
She brushed away the hair near her ear and said hesitantly, ¡°Nothing¡ Stop asking me.¡±
¡°Why can¡¯t I ask?¡± Chris frowned, staring at her eyes. He didn¡¯t seem so easy to fool.
Annie looked down. ¡°Because I don¡¯t want to tell.¡±
She didn¡¯t even fully understand what was going on between her and Ye Sijue, so how could she tell him?
Chris gaze deepened. He suddenly reached out and cupped her little face in his hands, forcing her to look up to face him.
¡°What exactly happened in China? You have been absent-minded every day since you came back. You don¡¯t even want to answer me when I ask about it. Annie, when did we star keeping secrets?¡±
¡°I¡¡± Annie eyes were apologetic.
Chris¡¯s gaze was burning as he asked her bluntly, ¡°Did you meet a man you like in China?¡±
Annie pursed her lips and didn¡¯t answer.
Chris said, ¡°Do you remember our agreement?¡±
¡°Yeah?¡± Annie¡¯s brain was a bit dazed, and she didn¡¯t realize what he was referring to.
Chris gazed at her eyes deeply. ¡°Our marriage was arranged by our families. I asked you if you really wanted to marry me, and you said you didn¡¯t know. So we agreed that if we ever met someone that we liked, we would cancel the marriage. Do you remember?¡±
Annie nodded. ¡°I remember.¡±
¡°So tell me. Did you meet a man in China that interested you?¡± Chris¡¯s eyes were looking deep into her heart.
She lowered her head. Thinking of something, the little face that had always been so innocent grew serious.
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter anymore,¡± she mumbled.
¡°Why not? This is very important. Annie, this is what you want, so it is very important,¡± Chris grabbed her shoulders as he said in a serious tone.
Annie pushed his hand away, her little face at a loss. ¡°Chris, I don¡¯t want to talk about this now, okay?¡±
She was flustered.
Her mind was filled with images of Ye Sijue and Secretary Tian.
She felt stifled inside.
Why did Ye Sijue bring the mean secretary to America for his business trip? Of all the secretaries he could have chosen, he had chosen Secretary Tian.
Chris never wanted to see her unhappy, so he had no choice but to give in and raise his arms in surrender.
¡°Okay, okay, okay. Will you tell me when you¡¯re ready?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Annie nodded distractedly.
¡°Now, do you want to continue strolling through the courtyard, or shall we enter the banquet hall?¡±

Annie didn¡¯t want to bump into Ye Sijue because she didn¡¯t know how to face him, so she didn¡¯t want to go in for the time being.
So she came up with a very dumb lie.
¡°I want to gaze at the moon.¡±
Chris couldn¡¯t help butugh. Pointing his finger at the dark night sky, he said, ¡°Dear, take a look yourself.¡±
Annie looked up uprehendingly and found that there was arge ck cloud floating across the night sky that covered the moon. Even the stars could hardly be seen.
She couldn¡¯t help butugh. ¡°Okay then, I can¡¯t see the moon. What should I do then?¡±
Chris pointed to himself andughed, ¡°If you don¡¯t mind, there is a handsome guy right here for you to admire.¡±
Annie was tickled intoughter as she shoved him with her little hand.
¡°You? I can see you every day. There¡¯s nothing new.¡±
Chris waggled his eyebrows. ¡°When you were in China, you didn¡¯t get to see me, right? Didn¡¯t you miss me?¡±
Annie rubbed her chin, her little face looking as if she were seriously thinking about it. Then she suddenly said, ¡°Oh yeah. I really didn¡¯t miss you!¡±
¡°What did you say? You really didn¡¯t think about me? I¡¯m really sad. Fancy that I thought about you everyday. I was also worried that you might be bullied in China and that you might not be used to the food there. But you, wow. You¡¯re heartless. You didn¡¯t even miss me.¡±
Chris looked bitter.
Annie coughed. Then she changed her tune and said. ¡°Actually, I did miss you a little.¡±
¡°Only a little?¡± Chris was still not satisfied.
¡°Well¡ a little more?¡± Annie gestured with her fingers.
Chris said, ¡°I want more, this much.¡±
¡°You¡¯re greedy!¡±
¡°I¡¯m not asking you to think about me all the time, so it¡¯s not greedy.¡±
The two chatted happily in the courtyard, and time flew.
Just then, Chris¡¯s cell phone rang.
He answered it. He nodded and said, ¡°We¡¯re in the courtyard. Okay, we¡¯ll go over now.¡±
After hanging up the phone, he said to Annie, ¡°Let¡¯s go in. Boole is looking for us.¡±
Boole was the son of Duke Berg, and a good friend of Chris¡¯s.
He held Annie¡¯s hand as they entered the ballroom.
She carefully looked around and didn¡¯t see Ye Sijue anywhere. She thought that he might have left, so she was relieved but felt a little mncholic.
When she saw Boole, Boole got up. He smiled as he walked up to her and kissed her hand.
¡°Princess Annie, you look even more beautiful now. Wow, I¡¯m really jealous of Chris.¡±
Chrisughed yfully, ¡°I ept your jealousy.¡±
He pulled out a chair and let Annie sit down.
Annie smiled at them. She kept quiet while listening to their yful banter.
Chris waved to a helper to bring some desserts and juices that she liked.
After the jokes, Boole said to Chris in a serious manner, ¡°I have a friend to introduce to you, the one I mentioned to you before. He just happened to be in America, so I invited him to the party. ¡±
Annie was a little hungry. She lowered her head to eat tiramisu.
Just then, a ck shadow stopped at the table.
A scorching gaze fell on her, but she was oblivious to it.
Chapter 1095 - He Was Angry (4)
Chapter 1095: He Was Angry (4)

She continued to be oblivious until Boole stood up, smiled, and made the introduction. ¡°Chris, let me introduce you to someone. This is Ye Sijue.¡±
Hearing that name, Annie jolted, and the fork she held in her hand fell onto the porcin te.
Her neck seemed to be frozen as she raised her head in a stiff manner and looked at the person standing in front of Boole.
Meanwhile, Boole continued with the introductions. ¡°Ye, this is Prince Chris, and the pretty little princess beside him is his fianc¨¦e, Annie.¡±
As soon as he finished saying that, Annie¡¯s gaze met with a pair of deep, chilly, blue eyes.
Ye Sijue stood before her.
His face was grave and stern, and the air around him was frosty as he looked at her.
¡°Hello.¡± Chris smiled. He held out and shook hands with Ye Sijue.
As Ye Sijue shook his hand, he nodded very courteously and said, ¡°Hello, Prince Chris.¡±
Looking at Tian Yunxin, who was standing beside Ye Sijue, Chrisughed, ¡°Mr. Ye, aren¡¯t you going to introduce yourpanion? How can you withhold the name of such a beautifuldy?¡±
Tian Yunxin had studied abroad in America, and she knew that guys over here would always say ttering things out of courtesy. But as she faced this unusually handsome prince, she was ted upon hearing him say that about her.
¡°I¡¯m¡¡± She was going to say that she was Ye Sijue¡¯s secretary.
However, Ye Sijue interrupted her. Suddenly, he put his arm around her waist and said with a smile, ¡°She is mypanion, Miss Tian Yunxin.¡±
¡®Companion¡¯ seemed to mean ¡®girlfriend¡¯ to the others.
Tian Yunxin was startled, but it was littlepared to how happy she felt.
However, being a sensitive person, she quickly noticed something off in Ye Sijue¡¯s eyes.
Although Young Master Ye was a man who didn¡¯t like to be involved with women, he would usually be indifferent toward them. He rarely acted like how he was acting now. There was an indescribable chilliness about him, so much so that she could feel the cold as she stood beside him.
Although Ye Sijue wasn¡¯t looking in any specific direction, Tian Yunxin¡¯s intuition led her to nce at the person beside Chris, the prince¡¯s fianc¨¦e.
When she first approached them, she didn¡¯t dare to cast wild nces at people as she maintained her good manners.
Thus, it was only then that she stared and had a clear look at Annie.
Immediately, Tian Yunxin¡¯s eyes widened in amazement. ¡°You¡¡±
Wasn¡¯t the prince¡¯s fianc¨¦e the same woman that Young Master Ye had brought to thepany?!
She wondered if her eyes were ying tricks on her.
How could Young Master Ye¡¯s woman be Prince Chris¡¯s fianc¨¦e?
Tian Yunxin¡¯s expression that was too conspicuous. Boole smirked in amusement. Looking at the two, heughed and asked, ¡°Miss Tian, ??have you met our little Princess Annie before?¡±
¡°Little princess?¡± Tian Yunxin couldn¡¯t believe what she heard. This little girl actually had a noble background? How could it be!
Ye Sijue¡¯s brows furrowed upon hearing that.
But it was because Boole used the word ¡®our¡¯ when referring to Annie as though they were really close to her. A tinge of displeasure grew in him. It wasn¡¯t knowing about her identity that made him feel this way.
He had already expected that Annie would have such a background, so he wasn¡¯t surprised.
But he had never expected that the two of them would meet again under such circumstances.
Ye Sijue¡¯s gaze deepened.
He had never heard her mention anything about her fianc¨¦.
Chapter 1096 - He Was Angry (5)

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Ye Sijue put away his stern expression, smiling a little. Though it wasn¡¯t a genuine smile, it made him look less grave.
He nced at Annie and turned to look at Chris and said, ¡°Did Princess Annie return from China recently?¡±
Chris looked at him with a smile. ¡°Yeah, did you meet our Annie in China?¡±
¡®Our¡¯ Annie again. Ye Sijue forced a smile again, enduring it.
Ye Sijue had never been an impulsive brat, but at that moment the anger that had been umting in his chest was about to erupt.
On the surface, however, he still maintained a graceful smile as he said, ¡°We didn¡¯t just met. Princess Annie¡¯s good friend in China happened to be a long-time friend, so when she was in China we hung out asionally. I just didn¡¯t expect to meet her here. Princess Annie used her Chinese name in China. I only found outter that her English name is Annie.¡±
Hearing that, Boole raised his eyebrows and asked, ¡°Annie actually has a Chinese name? What is it?¡±
Ye Sijue didn¡¯t answer immediately, naturally, but he looked to Annie as though he were seeking her opinion.
Annie had a vague feeling that the way he was looking at her was quite weird, so she didn¡¯t dare to look at him.
Chris turned to look at her and asked curiously, ¡°Annie, when did you have a Chinese Name? Why didn¡¯t I know about this?¡±
Sheughed and said, ¡°It was Xiaoxiao who gave me the Chinese Name. I found it interesting, so I used it.¡±
¡°You didn¡¯t tell me about it. You ought to be punished.¡± Chris put his arm over the her back of her chair, his body facing her with a teasing smile.
Boole also asked, ¡°Annie, what is your Chinese Name? Tell us.¡±
Annie hesitated. She didn¡¯t seem like she wanted to tell them about it.
¡°You won¡¯t even know what it means even if I tell you.¡±
¡°Why don¡¯t you exin to us then?¡±
¡°Well¡¡±
Just then, the music suddenly stopped. The host of the banquet, Duke Berg, appeared before everyone.
Boole tutted. ¡°Why does it have to be now? Annie, baby, you must tell me your Chinese name next time, okay? I have to go now. Please make yourselves at home.¡±
With that said, Boole bowed and apologized to them before he left.
The four people who were left wore different expressions.
Annie had been afraid to meet Ye Sijue¡¯s eyes while Ye Sijue was looking at her.
Chris¡¯s eyes were smiling, but it was hard to guess what he was thinking about.
Tian Yunxin could be disregarded since no one cared about her.
Because the banquet host had something to say, everyone stood up and looked to the center of the ballroom.
Annie stood up as well, but she was perhaps slightly flustered because she yanked her skirt that was caught by the chair.
¡°Careful,¡± Chris said softly, his arm around her slender waist as he helped free her skirt. He carefully smoothed it, and lifted it up in a beautiful arc.
He extended his arm to her.
Annie was slow to respond as she reached out to hold his arm.
Chris smiled, nodding courteously to Ye Sijue as he left the table with Annie.

Ye Sijue watched Annie leave, his courteous smiling face turning grave all of a sudden.
He followed after them immediately.
Tian Yunxin was left behind.
It wasn¡¯t until Duke Berg finished speaking and the music started ying again that she regained her senses.
When she instinctively located Ye Sijue, she could clearly see Ye Sijue¡¯s gaze riveted on Annie.
For some reason, Tian Yunxin trembled unconsciously as she felt an indescribable loneliness.
She instinctively retreated a step, afraid to go up to him.
At the center of the banquet hall, guests danced together in pairs.
Annie stood to the side of the dance floor. She could clearly feel a scorching, yet chilly gaze staring at her from behind.
Her heart trembled. Her little hand tugged at Chris¡¯s shirt as she leaned over to him.
¡°Chris, I¡¯m a bit¡¡±
She wanted to say that she was a little unwell and wanted to leave first.
But in the next second, a figure with a strong presence came up to her, extending a hand as he said, ¡°Princess Annie, may I dance with you?¡±
Ye Sijue¡¯s deep blue eyes stared into her eyes.
Annie paused for a moment. She wanted to refuse him, but the etiquette training she received ever since she was young made her unable to refuse him.
¡°I¡¡±
¡°I just happen to have something to tell you. Let¡¯s just treat it as¡ reminiscing about the past, okay?¡± Ye Sijue smiled, but the air about him was quite odd.
Annie¡¯s heart was beating very quickly. Ye Sijue had already reached out to grab her little hand in a very assertive manner as he took her to the dance floor.
In a moment¡¯s panic, she looked to Chris as though she were calling for help.
Ye Sijue wrung his brows in a chilly manner. He turned her around to prevent her from looking at her so-called fianc¨¦.
¡°I don¡¯t want you to look at him!¡± He said in a cold, bossy manner beside her ear.
Annie¡¯s back suddenly stiffened.
He said very softly so that only the two of them could hear it, but the sudden forcefulness made her flinch.
¡°You¡¡± Words were stuck in her throat.
Ye Sijue¡¯s big hand sped her slender waist, drawing her closer. He took her to the middle of the dance floor, where Chris couldn¡¯t see her.
Annie became more nervous, wanting to escape.
For some reason, she felt that the current Ye Sijue was scary.
She clearly understood that he wasn¡¯t just angry but very angry.
Back when she was with him in China, she had never seen him so angry before.
She didn¡¯t know what to do to deal with his anger.
¡°Mo Xiaomeng¡, or should I call you Princess Annie? What, don¡¯t you recognize me now that you¡¯re a different person?¡± Ye Sijue seemed to have uttered those words through his gritted teeth.
His voice was chilly. It was as if a thousand years of ice was sttered on her cheeks.
Annie didn¡¯t dare to look into his eyes. She kept looking down, thinking about something.
Was she thinking about how to escape from him?
Ye Sijue¡¯s gaze was chilly.
He continued to stare at her little face, keeping quiet just like her.
The two seemed to bepeting to see who would be the first to give in.

He gripped her hands tightly as they danced.. Finally, she couldn¡¯t stand the force anymore as she wrinkled her delicate brows.
¡°It hurts¡¡± she said softly in protest.
Ye Sijue didn¡¯t reply to her. He was waiting for her to look up at him before he would ease up on the grip.
This was the first time that Annie felt this side of him and was quite helpless. She finally looked up in resignation, sounding defiant as she said to him, ¡°Ye Sijue, can you be gentler? You¡¯re gripping me too tightly. It hurts.¡±
Ye Sijue¡¯s gaze was deeper than usual as he stared at her. He said in his low voice, ¡°It hurts? Have you ever thought about how I feel?¡±
She didn¡¯t expect him to say this.
¡°I¡¡± She hesitated. She wanted to exin, but she didn¡¯t know what to say.
What should she say?
Should she have told him that her fianc¨¦ came to pick her up, so she had to go home?
She knew that if she had told him that, he would never have let her go.
But she had to go.
Annie looked down. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I had to go home at that time, so¡ I didn¡¯t have the time to say goodbye to you.¡±
Ye Sijue had a scornful smile, and he sounded as though he were interrogating her as he asked, ¡°You had to go home? Go home and do what? Get engaged?¡±
Annie paused for a moment and shook her head.
She wanted to say that it was because Chris¡¯s grandmother was not in good health so she had to go back.
But she didn¡¯t know what he would think about it.
Although it was Chris¡¯s grandmother, because his grandmother who watched over them as she and Chris grew up, she was quite close with his grandmother.
The dance music ended very quickly.
For the first time, Annie felt as though she were about to suffocate being around Ye Sijue. The way he looked at her was too pressurizing, as if it were going to strangle her.
So when the song ended, she felt like leaving.
But Ye Sijue wasn¡¯t done talking.
Annie frowned, twisting her wrist as she said, ¡°Ye Sijue, let me go.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not letting go,¡± Ye Sijue said, looking stern.
Just then, someone came over withrge strides, and in a skillful manner, tried to take Annie away from Ye Sijue.
Ye Sijue¡¯s gaze became severe as his eyes met with Chris¡¯s eyes and their hands exchanged quick strokes.
Finally, each of them was grabbing onto one of Annie¡¯s hands.
Chris smiled faintly, looked at Annie in a calm andposed manner as he said, ¡°Annie,e over here to me.¡±
Ye Sijue¡¯s eyes narrowed, and he said in a low voice, ¡°Xiaomeng,e over here to me.¡±
His eyes seemed to be begging for her toe back to him.
Annie¡¯s heart stirred. She watched the two in a dilemma. Suddenly, she seemed like a lost littlemb.
¡°You guys¡ Can you let me go first?¡±
Feeling the res from other people, she felt embarrassed.
Chris shot Ye Sijue a look.
The two released her at the same time.
Ye Sijue looked at Annie with a scorching gaze as he said again, ¡°Come here to me. We aren¡¯t done talking.¡±
On the other hand, Chris was very calm, smiling as he said, ¡°Annie, it¡¯ste
We should go. Grandma is still waiting for us.¡±

Chapter 1099 He Was Angry (8)
At first, Annie was hesitant. But upon hearing thest sentence, her feet instinctively went toward Chris.
Ye Sijue¡¯s eyes twitched.
¡°Mo Xiaomeng!¡± he called out.
Annie stopped. She was afraid to look back at him.
Her voice trembled as she said, ¡°Sorry, I have nothing to talk to you about.¡±
Ye Sijue looked at her as though she were a stranger.
Although the two hadn¡¯t known each other for a long time, he had always thought that she was a girl who could be easily understood.
But in this moment, he felt that he couldn¡¯t understand her.
Why would she treat him like this?
Things were going so well between them and they were quite close. How did she change so quickly.
Chris smiled elegantly and beckoned to Annie with his well-defined fingers. ¡°Annie,e over here.¡±
Annie seemed to hesitate for two seconds before she finally walked toward Chris.
Ye Sijue¡¯s fists were clenched tightly as his arms hung by his
side.
When Annie walked up to him, Chris took her into his arms as though he were dering something as he said to Ye Sijue, ¡°Mr. Ye, it¡¯s been great meeting you tonight, but Annie and I can¡¯t stay toote. We have to go.¡±
With that said, Chris ceremonially nodded, holding Annie as they turned and walked toward Duke Berg.
Before they could leave they had to inform the host of the banquet first.
Annie¡¯s back was stiff. She could clearly feel Ye Sijue¡¯s gaze burning as he watched her from behind.
Chris leaned close to her ear. He smiled and said, ¡°Rx. Don¡¯t be so tense. People not in the know might misunderstand and think that I did something to you.¡±
His hand was stroking her back to calm her down.
¡°Chris¡¡± Annie looked at him worriedly. Had he already figured it out?
Chris¡¯s smiled faintly, shushed her, and said, ¡°Let¡¯s talk when we get back.¡±
Annie felt uneasy and instinctively turned back to look.
She saw Tian Yunxin walked up to Ye Sijue. Ye Sijue¡¯s eyes were fixed on her. He didn¡¯t look away. He reached out and put his arm over Tian Yunxin¡¯s shoulder.
Tian Yunxin looked overwhelmed by the favor she was receiving.
Ye Sijue lowered his elegant face to her ear in a devilish manner and whispered something to her.
Tian Yunxin bashfully snuggled up to him.
From the beginning, Ye Sijue¡¯s eyes had always been riveted on Annie. It was as if everything that he did was meant for her to
see.
He was doing it deliberately.
But even if she knew that, seeing him holding another woman like that made Annie upset.
Ye Sijue¡¯s eyes seemed to be telling her that if she dared to go with Chris, then he would¡
What would he do?
Would he allow Secretary Tian to seduce him?
Annie remembered what Tian Yunxin had said with so much confidence, that if she was given the chance she would be able to make Ye Sijue surrender to her charm.
¡°Annie? What¡¯s the matter?¡± Chris noticed something different with her. They stopped, and he looked at her worriedly. ¡°Why do you look so pale? Are you feeling ill?¡±
Was she feeling ill?
Annie looked at Chris in a daze, her eyes were a little red.
She was feeling ill inside, very ill.
Chapter 1100 - He Was Angry (9)
Chapter 1100 He Was Angry (9)
She couldn¡¯t help but turn back to look at Ye Sijue.
However, Ye Sijue was no longer there.
Where did he go?
Annie suddenly panicked. Could Ye Sijue have gone with the secretary? They couldn¡¯t be¡
She instinctively freed herself from Chris¡¯s hand as she wanted to find Ye Sijue.
However, Chris easily grabbed her hand again. ¡°Annie, what¡¯s the matter with you?¡±
¡°He¡ I want to look for him¡¡± Annie sounded like she were crying
Chris frowned, ¡°Him? That Ye Sijue?¡±
He looked up and around the banquet hall. He saw Ye Sijue holding his secretary as they headed upstairs.
Looking in the same direction, Annie caught sight of Ye Sijue.
Why was he going upstairs?
¡°Chris, I¡ I have something to tell him.¡± She gave Chris an appealing look.
Chris sighed. He looked into her eyes and asked, ¡°What is your rtionship with him? When you were in China, were you guys a thing?¡±
Annie paused for a moment, ¡°I¡¡±
She didn¡¯t know how to answer him.
They seemed to have been a thing.
However, they had never confirmed their rtionship. So even she didn¡¯t know what their rtionship was.
Chris had never seen her so anxious before.
His gaze deepened as he looked at her. ¡°If you want to go to him, then I¡¯ll take you to him, but you need to be clear about this, Annie.¡±
Be clear about this?
Annie realized what he meant as she looked at him.
¡°I¡¡±
Chrisughed bitterly. ¡°Sigh. You can¡¯t always rely on others to make decisions for you. There are many things that you need to decide on your own.¡±
Annie¡¯s little head drooped down.
She knew Chris was right. She wasn¡¯t as decisive or as brave as Xiaoxiao.
She was always confused.
Ever since she was young, people had always nned things for her.
In the past, she had never thought about doing anything of her own free will. She had never thought that having others do everything for her was wrong.
However, after meeting Xiaoxiao, she realized that it was wrong.
Xiaoxiao was always so energetic, bold-spirited, and weird. Xiaoxiao always had her own original way of looking at things.
Instead, she was¡
God knew how much courage it took for her to finally decide to go to China to find Xiaoxiao, because she wanted something to change for once.
Chris looked into her eyes and asked, ¡°Tell me now. Do you want to go to him?¡±
Annie nodded. ¡°I want to.¡±
¡°Well, then I¡¯ll take you to him.¡± Chrisughed and held her little hand as he took her to the stairs.
In therge banquet hall, the second floor had a circr corridor that allowed people to overlook the whole hall. There was also some open lounges for guests to rest or talk privately.
Currently there weren¡¯t too many people on the second floor.
When Chris took Annie upstairs, they didn¡¯t see Ye Sijue and his secretary anywhere.
Annie¡¯s heart was tense as she looked around. ¡°Could they have entered the room?¡±
Would Ye Sijue really do that?
The look that he gave her earlier seemed to imply that he would do the exact opposite of what she expected him to do.
Chapter 1101 - He Was Angry (10)
Chapter 1101: He Was Angry (10)

The entire length of the second floor corridor was visible with a single nce.
There was no sign of Ye Sijue and his secretary, which meant that they had entered a room.
Chris frowned as he looked at Annie and asked, ¡°Are you going to look in every room?¡±
Annie seemed to be dumbstruck.
He was well aware that Ye Sijue had lured her here deliberately.
¡°What now?¡± Annie looked at him, her gaze a little anxious. The only thing that was on her mind right now was finding Ye Sijue.
Chris didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. Sighing, he ruffled her fringe and said, ¡°Did he also lead you by the nose like this when you were in China?¡±
Even though Annie didn¡¯t know why he asked her this question, she still shook her head honestly. ¡°No, he¡ was very good to me.¡±
She tugged at his sleeve. ¡°Lets go. I want to look for him.¡±
She was unable to dispel the image of Ye Sijue holding Secretary Tian in her mind. The sight of it offended her eyes and caused her heart to feel stifled and ufortable.
This was especially so when she thought about how Ye Sijue could be doing something intimate with her right now.
She felt even worse now.
Her heart felt as though someone were pounding on it with a fist.
Chris looked around in front of him before tugging her hand and saying, ¡°Let¡¯s walk.¡±
Annie followed him.
The banquet hall was a really huge ce. The second floor alone had countless rooms and it would be really difficult to search them one by one.
Ye Sijue seemed to be ying hide-and-seek with her.
Annie suspected that she had imagined things. Had he note up to the second floor?
Chris stopped in his tracks. He didn¡¯t like searching for people this way. It shed with his wise personality.
He thought for a while and smirked.
He then said to Annie, ¡°Let¡¯s split up to search. I¡¯ll take this side and you¡¯ll take the other. We¡¯ll meet back here after one round of searching. We¡¯ll just head back downstairs if we still can¡¯t find him.¡±
He pushed Annie forward before turning around and walking down the path on the left.
¡°Ah?¡± Annie¡¯s reaction was a little slow, but she still followed his instructions and walked down the path to the right.
She walked past a door after turning the corner.
Suddenly, the door opened and an arm grasped Annie¡¯s hand, pulling her into the room.
Annie¡¯s eyes widened in surprise.
The world spun in the next second.
She was then kabedonned against the door.
She then felt a familiar male aura, his male hormones enveloping her intensely.
¡°Ye¡¡± She opened her mouth and spoke instinctively.
However, before she could finish calling his name, therge figure in front of her had already pressed down on her. His long and slender fingers held her chin and forced her to look up into a pair of blue eyes. They were cold but burning with an intense anger.
The pair only met each other¡¯s gaze for a moment before Ye Sijue lowered his head and kissed her aggressively.
He used a lot of strength as he kissed, as though he were punishing her.
This wasn¡¯t Annie¡¯s first time being kissed by him, but this was his first time treating her so roughly, and she wasn¡¯t used to it. It felt as though she were kissing someone else, which made her feel ufortable so she struggled.
¡°Mmph, you¡. don¡¯t¡¡± She struggled, trying to push him away. She wanted to ask him not to be so rough.
However, Ye Sijue became incensed by her struggling. He thought that she was trying to reject him, which caused him to be even more rough. He snaked a hand underneath her clothes.

¡°No!¡± Annie was shocked and pushed him away forcefully.
Because she was wearing a strapless dress, his actions caused her dress to slip down.
Annie held her dress against her chest, embarrassed.
¡°How could you do this!¡± she criticized him, ring at him furiously.
Ye Sijue was a usually calm person and had never behaved so rashly before. But now all he wanted to do was leave his mark on her body to show that fianc¨¦ of hers who she really belonged to!
He looked at her stiffly as he held her chin and met her eyes. ¡°What about you? Why are you like this? How did this fianc¨¦ pop out of nowhere?¡±
¡°Pop out of nowhere? Chris is originally my¡¡± Annie¡¯s first instinct was to rebut him, but her desire to exin the situation to him was stronger.
However, Ye Sijue became displeased after hearing the first half of her exnation. He chuckled coldly and said, ¡°He¡¯s originally your fianc¨¦? So, you already had a fianc¨¦ before you came to China? But you still got together with me? Who am I to you?¡±
Had he misjudged her?
He had thought she was a girl who was as pure as white paper. Was she really a masterful yer who had been ying with his emotions?
¡°No¡¡± Annie was so anxious that she didn¡¯t know how to exin to him momentarily. She fumbled as she said, ¡°How do I put this? Chris isn¡¯t considered my fianc¨¦ yet. We didn¡¯t really get engaged. It was only¡ arranged by our families.¡±
Upon hearing that she wasn¡¯t really engaged, the frost in his eyes melted a little.
Unexpectedly, he heard Annie say in the next moment, ¡°However¡ we¡¯ll be officially engaged in two days.¡±
Ye Sijue¡¯s gaze turned icy once more, but heughed out loud this time. ¡°Mo Xiaomeng, what about me? Who am I to you?¡±
Was he just a passing visitor in her life?
Was she only ying around before she got engaged?
¡°I¡¡± Annie looked into his eyes, wishing to speak but she stopped.
The words in his gaze stabbed at her heart.
He had never looked at her with such disdain. It was as though he were disgusted with her.
A painful stab passed through Annie¡¯s heart again and her eyes filled with tears.
How should she say this?
Before she met him, she hadn¡¯t opposed her engagement with Chris.
However, after meeting him, there were many times when she considered if she still wanted the engagement to continue.
She had no romantic feelings towards Chris, of course. The two of them grew up together, and thus they did have a solid rtionship. However, it was not love. She had never felt her heart beat wildly when around Chris.
However, Chris was a very important person to her, for he was akin to family.
Just as she was thinking about rejecting the engagement, Chris arrived in China to bring her back to see his Grandma.
Grandma¡¯s health wasn¡¯t too good, and she wished to see them be engaged as soon as possible. Annie couldn¡¯t reject the grandma who had always loved her since she was little and thus had to go through with the engagement.
Tears swirled around in Annie¡¯s eyes. She grasped Ye Sijue¡¯s shirt with her little hand, her nose red. She looked really sad.
In a choked voice she said, ¡°Ye Sijue¡ What about me? Don¡¯t you also¡¡±
Didn¡¯t he also have a fianc¨¦e?

He had kept this from her too.
How could he use her so righteously?
Furthermore, he had never told her that he liked her before. What were they?
¡°Don¡¯t I also? Alright, we¡¯ll talk everything out today.¡± Ye Sijue grasped her shoulder and looked at her resolutely.
No matter what the end result was, they would clear the air between them.
Ye Sijue was a person who had never liked to do things slovenly.
If she really wanted to go back to that Prince Chris and be engaged to him¡
The lines around Ye Sijue¡¯s mouth hardened.
He wouldn¡¯t stop her, but there was no way he was going to beg for her toe back to him.
Annie wiped her tears away with her fingers. She looked around the room and asked him, ¡°Where is your¡ secretary?¡±
She was going to clear the air too.
Ye Sijue didn¡¯t understand why she was asking about someone so irrelevant. He only said mildly, ¡°Do you want me to be together with her?¡±
He was only using Tian Yunxin to lure her. Now that he had aplished what he wanted, she was naturally thrown aside.
Annie shook her head. ¡°Of course not!¡±
Ye Sijue thought that her pouty expression looked as though she were jealous. His gaze softened and he asked, ¡°What about your fiance? He seems like a very opened-minded person to let youe and look for me alone.¡±
Ye Sijue knew that Prince Chris wasn¡¯t a simple person when their gazes met.
At that moment Chris understood that Ye Sijue had a special rtionship with Annie.
This man was a deep thinker.
Ye Sijue didn¡¯t think that Chris would fall for his scheme.
¡°Chris saw that I was unhappy so he let me¡¡± Annie saw that he seemed to be hostile towards Chris and thus wanted to exin the situation.
Ye Sijue didn¡¯t want to hear her speak another man¡¯s name, especially not when she was praising him.
His face was frosty as he interrupted her. ¡°Enough, stop telling me about him. I can see that he really cares for you and that you have a close rtionship.¡±
Could this girl not see that he was jealous? Why was she bringing her fiance up now?
Annie paused before saying, ¡°You were the one who asked about it¡¡±
The confrontational atmosphere seemed to disappear instantly, and the pair returned to how they interacted in China.
Ye Sijue leaned close and ced a hand on the door behind her, as though he were pinning her between the door and himself.
He could smell her perfume from this distance and it was very pleasant.
He didn¡¯t know when he had started to yearn for this aroma.
¡°Don¡¯t you have anything to say to me?¡± he asked in a low voice.
Annie felt as though she were enveloped by his aura. It was the most familiar feeling she had felt in a while and it steadied her.
If it wasn¡¯t for the inappropriate atmosphere between them, she would have leaned forward and hugged him before cing her head on his chest.
Annie lifted her gaze and looked at him. She nodded. ¡°I do.¡±
¡°What is it? Tell me.¡± Ye Sijue lifted a strand of her hair and hooked it behind her ear.
Annie seemed to remember something unhappy. She pouted andined, ¡°Why did you bring that Secretary Tian on your business trip?¡±
There were so many secretaries in hispany. Why did he have to choose her?
¡°Are you jealous?¡± Heughed.
Annie frowned. ¡°I¡¯m not jealous! I don¡¯t like her.¡±
Chapter 1104 - Who Am I to You? (3)
Chapter 1104: Who Am I to You? (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Why do you not like her?¡± He felt puzzled.
¡°She¡ S-She¡¯s scheming!¡± Annie tried to form her sentences. In the end, she just condensed everything into a single sentence. ¡°She¡¯s got ulterior motives towards you!¡±
Ye Sijue wasn¡¯t surprised by this. The women in thepany all had some kind of motive towards him, for it was a grand dream of any beautiful woman to transform from a sparrow to a phoenix.
However, the motives of some were hidden in their heart and the motives of others were disyed prominently.
Ye Sijue touched Annie¡¯s cheek andughed. ¡°Silly fool, you¡¯re jealous! You don¡¯t have to bother with her. She¡¯s only a secretary to me.¡±
¡°It¡¯s not that, there¡¯s still¡¡± Annie didn¡¯t really like to snitch on other people, and thus she didn¡¯t want to tell him about how Tian Yunxin had plotted against her in thepany building.
However, she had no choice now.
After listening to her, Ye Sijue narrowed his eyes. There was a sharpness in his gaze as he said, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me about this earlier?¡±
¡°I only knew about it after I eavesdropped on her conversation. After that¡ Chris appeared and brought me back here. Also¡¡± She didn¡¯t like to talk about these things, for it wasn¡¯t anything urgent to her.
Ye Sijue sighed. He looked into her eyes and said, ¡°You¡¯re really¡ You didn¡¯t even know that you were being bullied and you didn¡¯t tell me about it.¡±
Annie shook her head adorably. ¡°I didn¡¯t think it was anything.¡±
She thought that it was a minor matter.
She was more concerned about Tian Yunxin trying to seduce him than what she had said in that phone call.
Thus, when she saw him bring Tian Yunxin, her heart felt a little stifled.
Ye Sijue¡¯s gaze was dark and cold. He touched her hand with his fingers, ying with her tiny hand as he said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. I¡¯ll take care of this matter.¡±
Anyone who dared to bully her would pay.
Ye Sijue lowered his head and ced her forehead against hers. ¡°I¡¯m going back next week. Come back with me?¡±
Annie paused for a while, her expression wavering. ¡°I¡¡±
She hadn¡¯t told him that she would go back with him, right?
If she told him right now that she was going to proceed with her engagement with Chris, how angry would he get?
She didn¡¯t dare to think about it.
Ye Sijue held her little hand and inteced his hands with hers.
He looked into her eyes and coaxed gently, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯re not engaged to him yet? Don¡¯t get engaged to him, okay?¡±
He would not let her get engaged to another man.
Annie¡¯s expression froze.
¡°I¡¯m sor¡ª¡±
Before she could finish her words, a knock sounded on the door she was leaning on.
Knock knock.
After that, Chris¡¯ voice came through the door, ¡°Annie, are you done speaking with him? We should get going soon.¡±
Annie came back to her senses and pushed Ye Sijue away with her hands.
However, she was unsessful.
Ye Sijue pressed himself against her palms and looked deeply into her eyes, looking as though he wasn¡¯t willing to let her go.
Annie felt put in the spot. ¡°Ye Sijue, don¡¯t be like this. I¡ have some things that I can¡¯t aplish.¡±
Ye Sijue seemed to understand what she was implying and his handsome face frosted over.
Chapter 1105 - Who Am I to You? (4)
Chapter 1105: Who Am I to You? (4)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°You mean you¡¯re still going to proceed with your engagement to him?¡±
Annie lowered her gaze, not daring to look into his eyes.
¡°Look at me! Answer me! Are you really going to proceed with your engagement to him? Why? Do you like him?¡± Ye Sijue gritted his teeth as he said thest sentence for he couldn¡¯t ept that she could have another man in her heart.
No, that was impossible.
She was absolutely not a girl who did things half-heartedly.
He could tell from her eyes that he had a ce in her heart.
There was no sign of infatuation when she mentioned Chris.
Annie frowned and twisted her hand, trying to break from his grasp.
¡°Can you release me first? You¡¯re hurting me.¡±
Chris was knocking on the door outside and he called out worriedly, ¡°Annie? Are you alright?¡±
¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Annie replied quickly.
She turned around, wanting to open the door. However, Ye Sijue pressed a hand against the door and pulled her by the waist into his chest with his other hand.
¡°You¡¯re not allowed to open the door!¡±
Annie looked at the time and said anxiously, ¡°I really have to leave now. I¡¯m sorry, Ye Sijue.¡±
Ye Sijue¡¯s expression was cold as he said, ¡°Don¡¯t apologize to me. Did you talk to me so amicably earlier just to stab me in the heart? Must you really proceed with your engagement to him? Why? Give me a reason. Is it that you like him better than me or that you have some other reasons?¡±
He had never been a person to meddle with someone¡¯s affairs but if it was Annie he would meddle as much as he could.
Before Annie could speak, the handle on the door turned.
Chris had obtained a key from somewhere and opened the door. Luckily, Annie was already in Ye Sijue¡¯s embrace or she would have been hit by the door.
¡°Are you done with your conversation?¡± Chris looked at the two figures in front of him, taking in the sight of Ye Sijue holding Annie¡¯s hand.
Annie looked at Ye Sijue and tried to leave his embrace, but he wasn¡¯t willing to let her go.
Ye Sijue held her as he looked into Chris¡¯ eyes and asked, ¡°Rumor has it that you¡¯re about to be engaged?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Chrisughed lightly. He seemed to think of something and said, ¡°Since you¡¯re a friend of Annie¡¯s, let¡¯s do this. Do you want to stay in our house? You¡¯ll be able to attend our engagement too. How does that sound?¡±
Ye Sijue looked at the person in front of him. This was his first time being unable to see through someone.
Chris obviously knew that he had a special rtionship with Annie, but his gaze didn¡¯t hold any hostility towards him.
And he was even inviting him to go to their engagement at this time?
What was this person thinking?
Chris extended a hand towards Annie. Annie took a nce at Ye Sijue before leaving his embrace and walking to Chris¡¯ side.
This time, Ye Sijue didn¡¯t force her to stay.
Chris lifted his arm so that Annie could hold onto it.
He then smiled as he said to Ye Sijue, ¡°I knew you were a friend worth making when I firstid my eyes on you. No wonder Boole introduced you to me. So, I want to invite you to stay at my house as a guest, and I hope you won¡¯t reject my offer.¡±
Ye Sijue peeled his gaze away from Annie and looked at him. A smile formed on his lips as he said, ¡°Sure.¡±
He really wanted to find out: was this person friend or foe?
Even though Chris was smiling at him with a friendly gaze in his eyes, Ye Sijue had a strange feeling that the person standing in front of him wasn¡¯t really that amicable.

City A, the Han residence.
Han Qiqing held her phone in one hand and rummaged through her room.
¡°I remember keeping my passport here in this drawer, but why is it missing? Xiaoxiao, what do I do? I really can¡¯t find my passport! What do I do?¡± Han Qiqing¡¯s anxiety was written all over her face, and she looked like she wished she could turn her entire room upside down to search.
There were other domestic helpers in her room helping her to look for her passport, but none of them could find it.
¡°Boohoo, okay,e over to my house first then. We¡¯ll go together after I¡¯ve found my passport. Yeah.¡±
Han Qiqing hung up and threw her phone onto the bed, continuing to search for the passport which had somehow grown legs and run off.
The domestic helpers looked at each other, but didn¡¯t dare to stop their actions, searching the same ce repeatedly.
It wasn¡¯t long before Mu Xiaoxiao and the rest arrived at the Han residence.
Han Qiqing sat on the carpet tearfully. She hung her head, crestfallen, looking as though she were about to cry.
The butler walked up to her and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Miss. I¡¯ve already asked all the helpers to look for it. It might be in another room. We¡¯ll find it in no time.¡±
Han Qiqing got up from the carpet and shook her head. She didn¡¯t know why, but she had the feeling that she wouldn¡¯t be able to find it.
Perhaps the Heaven¡¯s did not want her to go to America.
If not, why would her passport, which had always been in the drawer, be missing?
It was not Han Qiqing¡¯s first going overseas and she had never encountered such a situation before.
She walked past the butler and walked downstairs.
In the living room below, Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie were sitting on the sofa. Upon seeing that Qiqing was now downstairs, Mu Xiaoxiao stood up and walked over to greet her.
¡°Qiqing, did you find your passport?¡±
However, one look at Han Qiqing¡¯s expression told her the answer.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her a little worried, andforted her by saying, ¡°Qiqing, don¡¯t be anxious. Look for it again. You didn¡¯t bring it anywhere, so it must still be at home.¡±
Han Qiqing held her head and howled in anguish, ¡°But I can¡¯t find it. I¡¯ve already searched every corner of my room. What can¡¯t be found can¡¯t be found.¡±
She looked at the clock on the wall reflexively.
There were still two hours before the flight, but they were already supposed to be at the airport by now.
The other domestic helpers stood by them and looked apologetically at Han Qiqing. ¡°Sorry Miss, we couldn¡¯t find your passport either.¡±
Han Qiqing hugged Mu Xiaoxiao dejectedly.
¡°Xiaoxiao, maybe the Heavens don¡¯t want me to go to America. I think I¡¯m not going anymore.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart ached for her as she hugged her and patted her on the back.
¡°It¡¯s okay. It¡¯s like that sometimes. The more anxious you are to find something, the harder it is to find it. It¡¯ll appear when you¡¯re not anxious about looking for it. How about this: We¡¯ll head over to America first and you can join us when you¡¯ve found your passport.¡±
¡°That¡¯s the only thing to be done now. But¡¡± Han Qiqing sighed heavily once more. ¡°I think I probably won¡¯t be able to find my passport. I don¡¯t think I¡¯ll be going to America.¡±
Just then, Song Shijun arrived.
¡°Qiqing, what the heck are you doing? Did you hide your passport on purpose? How can you not locate it?¡± Song Shijun walked into the room.

Han Qiqing red at him. ¡°You¡¯re the one who¡¯s doing things on purpose. Why would I hide my passport? You¡¯re an idiot!¡±
Song Shijun shrugged and said pointedly, ¡°I thought you got cold feet at thest minute.¡±
Han Qiqing didn¡¯t want to continue this conversation and rolled her eyes at him.
Song Shijun was actually trying to liven the atmosphere, but upon seeing that her eyes were red, realized that she was really upset and kept quiet.
He looked towards Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, ¡°What do we do now? If we don¡¯t hurry to the airport we¡¯ll miss our flight.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Qiqing hesitantly. ¡°But you can¡¯t go now¡¡±
¡°What can I do? I¡¯ll just not go. Just go ahead without me. If I find my passport, I¡¯ll take fly over tomorrow,¡± Han Qiqing said as she patted her back and tried to force a smile.
¡°But¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her, worried. She knew that Han Qiqing wanted to go to America to see Lu Yichen.
Song Shijun said, ¡°That¡¯s the only thing we can do, then. Xiaoxiao, Shaojie, you should go to the airport first. I¡¯ll stay here to search with Qiqing.¡±
Han Qiqing looked at him and said, ¡°Who asked you to stay? I don¡¯t need your help. I¡¯ll just look for it myself. It¡¯s okay if I don¡¯t find it.¡±
Song Shijun threw himself on the sofa and rested his arms on its back. He said leisurely, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if I go. Now that you aren¡¯t going, why should I go and be a gooseberry? Aiyoh, I haven¡¯t even eaten breakfast. Butler, get someone to make breakfast for me. I want to have spaghetti.¡±
The butler smiled and nodded. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll get someone to make some now, Young Master Song. Please wait.¡±
Han Qiqing looked helplessly at him before pulling Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand and walking forward. ¡°Xiaoxiao, hurry and head to the airport. You¡¯re going to miss your flight,¡± she said.
Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a while, but she could only nod. ¡°Alright then.¡±
She looked at the people around her before bending over and whispering into Qiqing¡¯s ear, ¡°Do you have anything you want me to ry to Lu Yichen?¡±
Han Qiqing paused for a while before smiling bitterly and shaking her head. ¡°Nothing. Just ask if his mom is doing well.¡±
¡°Yeah, I will. Then¡ we¡¯ll get going first.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao hugged Qiqing before leaving the Han residence with Yin Shaojie.
Song Shijun was still sitting on the sofa. He waved Han Qiqing over and patted the spot beside him, gesturing for her to sit.
Han Qiqing walked over and sat by his side. ¡°What?¡±
Song Shijun looked at her with suspicion on his face. He leaned close and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, ¡°You¡ really didn¡¯t hide your passport?¡±
Han Qiqing rolled her eyes at him, grabbed a cushion, and threw it at him.
¡°You¡¯re crazy!¡±
Song Shijun tutted. ¡°That¡¯s really weird. If you didn¡¯t hide your passport, where did it go? It couldn¡¯t have grown legs and run off, right?¡±
Han Qiqing suddenly narrowed her eyes and pointed a finger at his nose. Huffing with anger, she said, ¡°Tell me! Was it you?¡±
¡°Me?¡± Upon hearing this, Song Shijun pointed at himself. In a tone of disbelief, he said, ¡°Are you suspecting me of hiding your passport? Please! How would I know where you put your passport?¡±

He continued, ¡°Also, even if I knew where it was, how would I get ahold of it? I¡¯m not a master thief and there are so many people in your house. If I came over to steal your passport I would get caught.¡±
Han Qiqing thought that he was right and put her finger down. She said dispiritedly, ¡°That means that¡ it¡¯s fate.¡±
Song Shijun also felt that the situation was a little inauspicious and nodded. ¡°It might be. This doesn¡¯t usually happen.¡±
Han Qiqing was unhappy. She didn¡¯t feel like talking anymore so she sat silently.
Song Shijun was originally thinking about how to make her happy, but upon seeing that she wasn¡¯t in the mood he decided against it.
Ten minutester, the kitchen finished preparing his breakfast.
He bumped Qiqing¡¯s arm as he said, ¡°Let¡¯s go and have breakfast.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t feel like eating.¡± Han Qiqing shook her head, her entire face expressionless.
Song Shijun tutted and pulled her arm up. ¡°You still have to eat even if you don¡¯t want to. You skipped breakfast just to look for your passport. Come on, even if you don¡¯t want to eat you can at least talk with me.¡±
Upon hearing this, the butler nodded.
¡°Look at what time it is already. How can you not eat?¡± Song Shijun wouldn¡¯t let her mistreat herself.
Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t argue against his stubbornness so she stood up and went to the dining with him.
A helper came over with their breakfast.
Han Qiqing held her fork in her hand, poking at the spaghetti absentmindedly with no intention of eating it.
¡°Are you going to eat or not?¡± Song Shijun looked at her. He even threatened, ¡°If you¡¯re not going to eat it, I¡¯ll feed you after I finish mine.¡±
Han Qiqing then lifted her gaze and red at him. ¡°You¡¯re so annoying! Why does it matter to you whether I eat or not?¡±
She knew in her heart that he cared about her, of course.
However, she was feeling really frustrated. She was on the verge of breaking down and she really wanted to vent her anger.
Song Shijun was indifferent to her words and did not get angry at all.
¡°If you want to be angry at me, you have to eat your breakfast or you¡¯ll have no energy to do it. Hurry up and eat. If you don¡¯t like it get the kitchen to cook something else for you.¡±
Song Shijun thought for a while and asked the butler to get the cooks to prepare food that was more appetizing such as porridge.
Upon hearing this, Han Qiqing countered, ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat porridge!¡±
¡°What do you want to eat then?¡± Song Shijun looked at her and asked.
Han Qiqing harrumphed and puffed her cheeks out. ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat anything.¡±
Song Shijun ignored her and said to the butler, ¡°Get the cooks to make some porridge. It¡¯s more convenient. I¡¯ll just pour it down her throat if she doesn¡¯t eat it.¡±
The butler was speechless.
Was this a good idea?
Song Shijun waved him away. ¡°Hurry up!¡±
¡°Oh, yes¡¡± The butler paused before going into the kitchen and instructing the cooks.
Han Qiqing red at Song Shijun gloomily. She crossed her arms and said angrily, ¡°You¡¯re going to pour it down my throat? You¡¯re crazy. It¡¯s my business whether to eat breakfast or not. Your stomach isn¡¯t the one starving.¡±
Song Shijun twirled the spaghetti around his fork and ced it in his mouth elegantly.
He looked at her as he said, ¡°Oh, so you know that my stomach isn¡¯t the one starving? Han Qiqing, how immature are you? You¡¯re not eating because of a man. I¡¯m looking down at you!¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s expression froze and she looked a little aggrieved.

Song Shijun took another bite of spaghetti and gestured to the helpers to pour him some water.
He was a boy and had a big appetite so he finished his te of spaghetti very quickly.
Song Shijun¡¯s gazended on the te in front of Han Qiqing. He reached out a hand and said, ¡°Are you going to eat that?¡±
Han Qiqing returned to her senses. Swatting his hand away, she rolled her eyes at him and grabbed her fork. ¡°Who said I didn¡¯t want to eat?¡±
She lowered her head, twirled the spaghetti around her fork, and ced the food in her mouth.
Upon seeing that she was willing to eat, Song Shijun smiled. He then gestured to the helpers to prepare a sandwich for him.
Even though Han Qiqing didn¡¯t have much of an appetite, she forced herself to finish one-third of the spaghetti and a bowl of porridge.
After their meal, Song Shijun stretchedzily and looked at the time.
¡°Shaojie and Xiaoxiao must be on the ne already.¡±
Upon hearing this, Han Qiqing remembered her missing passport. Pushing her chair away, she went upstairs.
Song Shijun looked at her and followed.
Han Qiqing walked into her room, sat in front of her dresser, and rummaged through her drawers.
Song Shijun looked around her room before walking to her bed and sitting down on it. He rested his hands on the soft bed and looked upwards, turning his head to look at what she was doing.
¡°D*mmit!¡± Han Qiqing still couldn¡¯t find it. Tears rose to her eyes and she mmed the drawer shut before giving the cab a kick.
Song Shijun lifted a leg and kicked it too.
¡°Why did you kick my table!¡± Han Qiqing turned to look at him, howling angrily.
Song Shijun yed innocent. ¡°I¡¯m venting your anger for you.¡±
¡°Who asked you to? What if you damage my table?¡±
¡°Just buy another. I¡¯ll pay you.¡±
¡°Who wants your money? Do you think I don¡¯t have the money to buy it myself?¡±
Han Qiqing stood up and walked up to him. She grabbed his cor and red at him.
Song Shijun smiled and spread his arms out. ¡°Are you venting your anger? Come at me! Ravage me! Torture me!¡±
You¡¯reme!¡± Han Qiqing released her hand and tossed him onto the bed.
Song Shijuny on the bed and looked up at the ceiling. ¡°It¡¯s a good thing that you¡¯re not going to America anymore.¡±
¡°Why do you say that?¡± Han Qiqing was puzzled. She sat beside him andy down, imitating him.
The two of themy perpendicr to each other.
Song Shijun turned and looked at her. ¡°I told you long ago that Lu Yichen doesn¡¯t suit you. Nothing is going to happen no matter how much you like him, so it¡¯s that you give up. Your passport going missing is Heaven¡¯s answer to you.
Han Qiqing stayed silent, sadness on her little face.
Song Shijun continued, ¡°I really don¡¯t understand why you have to like him. What is so good about him other than his test scores? His personality doesn¡¯t match yours. If you get together with him, you¡¯re going to be the one initiating everything. Do you think you¡¯re going to be happy like that?¡±
Han Qiqing felt unhappy after hearing this. Frowning, she turned her head to look at him and said, ¡°Don¡¯t talk about Lu Yichen like that. What do you mean he doesn¡¯t have any good points other than his results? He has a lot of good qualities. Are you jealous of him?¡±
Song Shijun turned his nose up and said, ¡°Why would I be jealous of him? You must be joking!¡±
Please! He was the son of the mayor! He didn¡¯t need to be jealous of anyone!

Song Shijun sat up and looked down at her. ¡°Anyone with eyes can see that Lu Yichen likes Xiaoxiao. He¡¯s the stubborn type who never gives up on someone he loves. Why do you¡¡±
What she was doing now would only hurt her in the end.
Han Qiqing¡¯s gaze darkened. ¡°I know¡ but¡¡±
But she couldn¡¯t control her feelings.
She couldn¡¯t help but fantasize about how nice it would be if she were the person Lu Yichen liked.
Humans were like that. Even though there was only a sliver of hope, they clung to it no matter how slim the chances were.
Song Shijun tutted and leaned forward, knocking a curled finger on her head.
¡°Han Qiqing, you know this is self-abuse, right?¡±
Han Qiqing pursed her lips and rubbed the spot where he had hit her, looking gloomy.
¡°If you like a person but you let them go, is that really liking them?¡±
Liking someone was something one couldn¡¯t help but do.
Song Shijun looked at her but didn¡¯t reply.
He flipped over andy back on the bed once more.
The twoy on the bed silently for a few moments.
After a while, Han Qiqing turned her head to look at him. Tapping him with her hand, she asked hesitantly, ¡°I want to ask you something.¡±
¡°I¡¯m all ears,¡± Song Shijun said, opening his eyes.
¡°I¡¡± Han Qiqing deliberated over her words for a moment.
¡°I¡ am I a bad person for telling Lu Yichen that Xiaoxiao loves Yin Shaojie?¡±
Song Shijun turned his head to look into her eyes andughed. ¡°You think you¡¯re a bad person for telling him that Xiaoxiao has eyes only for Yin Shaojie? You¡¯re so silly.¡±
¡°What do you mean?¡± Han Qiqing didn¡¯t seem to understand.
After saying those words, she felt like she had wronged Xiaoxiao, and felt uneasy, as though she were a bad person.
Song Shijun shuffled closer to her before saying, ¡°If you look at it from another point of view, you¡¯re helping him see that there¡¯s no hope in him harboring feelings for Xiaoxiao and that the sooner he gives up, the better. Of course, you had other reasons for doing it but we all have our own selfish reasons for doing things.¡±
Han Qiqing cocked her head and listened to his words attentively. Their heads had somehow gotten close together.
Song Shijun said, ¡°We all know that the feelings between Xiaoxiao and Shaojie aren¡¯t something that anyone can damage, no matter who it is. It¡¯s better that Lu Yichen learn that sooner rather thanter.¡±
Han Qiqing agreed and nodded. ¡°Yeah, Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie are inseparable. Their feelings for each other run really deep.¡±
Song Shijun reached out to pat her head and said, ¡°So, you should let go of your feelings for Lu Yichen, too.¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s eyelids drooped and she didn¡¯t answer.
¡°You¡¯re really¡¡± Song Shijun pinched her chin between his fingers and was about to lecture her.
Just then, the door to the room opened and a cold voice rang out, ¡°What are you doing?¡±
Song Shijun felt an obvious sharp, chilly gaze ring daggers at him.

He lifted his head quickly and saw Han Qiqing¡¯s brother standing by the door, staring at him coldly.
Song Shijun froze before realizing that his pose with Han Qiqing was very intimate and suggestive.
He retracted his hand quickly.
The two of them sat up.
Han Qiqing was shocked as well. She looked fearfully at her brother standing by the door, and called out in a soft, embarrassed voice, ¡°Brother¡ Um, didn¡¯t you already set off for the office?¡±
It was already sote and her brother should have gone to the office by now. Why was he still at home?
¡°There was a video conference in the morning that just ended,¡± her older brother said, turning his gaze away from Song Shijun.
Song Shijun breathed a sigh of relief as the scary stifling feeling disappeared.
He had been caught ¡°in bed¡± with someone else¡¯s younger sister, which was quite embarrassing.
He came down from the bed quickly and said awkwardly, ¡°Then¡ I should get going.¡±
After saying a hasty goodbye, he didn¡¯t even wait for his host to send him to the door before leaving.
Han Qiqing was left alone in the room with her brother.
The gears in Han Qiqing¡¯s head turned and she walked over to her brother¡¯s side, smiling as she exined, ¡°Shijun and I were only chatting. We weren¡¯t doing anything¡¡±
¡°You don¡¯t have to chat on the bed,¡± her brother lectured her coldly.
Han Qiqing felt even more awkward and hung her head, not daring to retort.
¡°You¡¯re not allowed to do that again,¡± her brother said unsympathetically.
¡°Okay, got it.¡± Han Qiqing nodded obediently.
Her brother seemed satisfied. His tone was a little gentler as he said, ¡°Let¡¯s eat.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve already eaten.¡± Han Qiqing still didn¡¯t dare to lift her head.
¡°I haven¡¯t.¡±
Han Qiqing was silent.
She could only follow him obediently and apany him.
¡
On the ne, in the first ss cabin.
Just as Mu Xiaoxiao found her seat and was about to sit down, a head in front of her turned around and beamed at her.
¡°Hello! What a coincidence,¡± a bright voice said.
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head in surprise and saw a familiar looking boy take off his sunsses. His handsome face was roguish as he smiled at her.
¡°You¡¯re¡¡± She couldn¡¯t recall his name.
Feng Tianqi cocked a brow in displeasure. ¡°You don¡¯t remember me? You really don¡¯t remember me? This is the first time a girl has forgotten me. Are you doing this on purpose to pique my attention?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. She had encountered narcissistic people before, but never one like this.
¡°Sorry, this miss has seen too many handsome boys before. Since you¡¯re not one of them, it¡¯s very natural for me to forget you.¡±
Feng Tianqi looked into her face, as though he were trying to guess if she was telling the truth.
¡°I asked around afterwards and found that you¡¯re from Shangde High. I heard that Shangde High has a lot of handsome boys, but, frankly speaking, how many boys are more handsome than my brother?¡±
¡°Your brother?¡± Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered him. Realizing who he was, she said, ¡°Oh, I remember now. You¡¯re Feng Shengyang¡¯s younger brother?¡±
¡°Bingo! It¡¯s just like I said, how can you forget such a handsome face as mine?¡± Feng Tianqi smiled, looking full of vigor.
Mu Xiaoxiao had to admit that it was her first time seeing a boy beam so brightly.
A boy like him was someone that she couldn¡¯t dislike.

Feng Tianqi turned around in his seat and faced her.
He leaned forward, closing the distance between them and smiled as he asked, ¡°Are you going to America too? Why are you headed there?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t very close to him and thus didn¡¯t want to tell him the truth.
She shrugged and said, ¡°Can¡¯t I go there for fun?¡±
Feng Tianqi could feel her distancing herself from him. However, instead of being angry, he felt she though were interesting.
He was rarely interested in girls.
He had always disliked interacting with girls. He left that girls were practically aliens who were on a different channel from him.
However, he felt a strange feeling, as though he had found a peer, when facing Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°Do you have a ce to stay in America? If you don¡¯t, I have a big vi there and you can stay with me. There¡¯s even a butler and chauffeur, which makes things really convenient.¡± Feng Tianqi disyed a rare moment of enthusiasm towards Mu Xiaoxiao.
If his family or friends saw this scene, they would be shocked, for he had never been so warm towards a girl ever since he was a kid.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and rejected him. ¡°There¡¯s no need. I have a ce to stay.¡±
That was funny. Even though she had only stayed in America for four years, her home was there. How could she not have a ce to stay?
Even if she didn¡¯t go back home to stay, William would arrange amodation for her.
Thinking of home made her miss her papa a lot suddenly.
There were so many things that had happened in her life recently, in addition to the memory loss. She hadn¡¯t called her papa in a while. Her papa must be missing her a lot too, right?
If she weren¡¯t on the ne she would have called him right then and there.
Fen Tianqi waved a hand in front of Xiaoxiao¡¯s face.
Feng Tianqi was unhappy that her attention was elsewhere. ¡°Are you daydreaming? You¡¯re so weird. I was talking to you but you¡¯re daydreaming. This is the first time I¡¯ve met a girl like you.¡±
There was no girl who could resist his handsome face.
However, she didn¡¯t care for his handsome face. It was as though she couldn¡¯t see him as her eyes never rested on his face.
This was the first time that he doubted his charm.
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her gaze to look at him. She stared at him as she cupped her chin with her right hand and said, ¡°How is me daydreaming any of your business? Can¡¯t you just turn around?¡±
The seats in the first ss cabin could rotate 360 degrees much to her chagrin.
¡°I don¡¯t feel like turning around. I want to talk to you.¡± Feng Tianqi looked into her eyes as he spoke, feeling no sense of rejection.
Mu Xiaoxiao was amused and she rubbed her forehead. ¡°You¡¯re such a weird person.¡±
Feng Tianqi spread his arms out and said, ¡°You¡¯re not the first person to say that.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao could tell that Feng Tianqi was an unconventional person.
¡°Alright, what do you want to talk to me about?¡± She smiled at him, pushing aside the fact that he was Feng Shengyang¡¯s younger brother.
She was happy to make friends with him for she liked to make friends with interesting people.
Upon seeing her smile at him, Feng Tianqi felt that her attitude towards him had changed.
He extended his long legs and ced both hands on his knees, facing her.
His eyes shone brightly like stars as he smiled and said to her, ¡°I like you a lot. If I had known you were a Shangde student, I wouldn¡¯t have run off when my mom sent me to Shangde.¡±

It wasn¡¯t Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s first time being confessed to, especially by someone she barely knew.
She had stayed in America for four years and the boys there were very direct They had a lot of initiative and would hit on someone if they liked them.
In addition, she was pretty and her exquisite Eastern features looked very unique to the American boys.
It wasn¡¯t an exaggeration to say that there were a lot of people who chased her when she studied in America.
However, when Feng Tianqi said that he liked her, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t feel as though she was being confessed to for Feng Tianqi¡¯s tone didn¡¯t sound romantic at all. It sounded like he was saying he liked her tonically.
Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao gave him a heartfelt smile when she heard this.
She thought for a while before saying, ¡°I think it¡¯s best if you don¡¯te to Shangde.¡±
¡°Why?¡± Feng Tianqi asked, puzzled. This made him feel a little unhappy.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she said, ¡°Because there is a very jealous guy by my side who doesn¡¯t like other males hanging around me.¡±
¡°Who is he? Why are you so obedient to him?¡± Feng Tianqi cocked his brows as he asked.
¡°He¡¯s me!¡±
Suddenly, a strong voice barged into their conversation.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s seat was rotated by someone.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s face was low and leaned towards hers, looking at her unhappily with cocked brows.
¡°I thought you had forgotten my existence from the sounds of your happy conversation.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao coughed awkwardly, not daring to say that she had indeed forgotten about him.
Yin Shaojie looped an arm around her shoulders possessively and looked up at Feng Tianqi. ¡°The person whom she was talking about is me. Do you have any objections?¡±
Feng Tianqi remembered him now. ¡°So it¡¯s you! You¡¯re her boyfriend, right?¡±
¡°No!¡± Yin Shaojie sneered and lifted his chin roguishly as he looked at him with the gaze of a king. He announced, ¡°I¡¯m her husband!¡±
Feng Tianqi looked incredulous. ¡°You¡¯re lying!¡±
Yin Shaojie smirked and saidcently, ¡°I¡¯m her husband, and it¡¯s up to you whether to believe it or not!¡±
Feng Tianqi smirked. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m ignorant? Both of you haven¡¯t reached China¡¯s legal age for marriage. How can you be considered her husband when you aren¡¯t married yet?¡±
¡°We¡¯re engaged!¡± Yin Shaojie said proudly.
Feng Tianqi made a noise of contempt and said dismissively, ¡°It¡¯s only an engagement. You¡¯re only her fianc¨¦, not her husband. Where¡¯s yourmon sense?¡±
He surveyed Yin Shaojie from head to toe and shook his head. ¡°I think you don¡¯t deserve her. My brother is a better match.¡±
¡°What did you say?¡± Yin Shaojie was angry now. He released Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s shoulders and looked as though he were about to grab his cor.
Mu Xiaoxiao held his arm back. ¡°What are you doing?¡±
Luckily, the ne¡¯s inte announced that the ne was about to fly and the pilot asked the passengers to sit down.
¡°Hurry up and sit down. The ne¡¯s about to take off.¡± She pulled him back, for his seat was right behind hers.
Feng Tianqi wasn¡¯t afraid of him. He was called the ¡°Fight King¡± for a reason. He wasn¡¯t afraid of anyone except his older brother.
Tugging his sleeves up, he faced Yin Shaojie and said, ¡°Come on, I¡¯ve been wanting to beat you up for a long while. If it wasn¡¯t for you that time, my brother wouldn¡¯t have been in an ident! He¡¯s still recuperating at home!¡±
Chapter 1114 - But She’s Scared Now (2)

Even though he said that his brother was recuperating, it was just his mom¡¯s excuse to make him stay in the house for a few more days. His wounds had healed long ago.
Upon hearing this Mu Xiaoxiao turned around and asked anxiously, ¡°Feng Shengyang¡¯s recuperating at home? Is he alright?¡±
Feng Tianqi red at Yin Shaojie and sneered, ¡°Thanks to your boyfriend my brother got into his first car ident.¡±
The mention of the ident made Yin Shaojie feel a little guilty. The car ident was indeed his fault and he thus couldn¡¯t retort.
Just then, the air stewardess, who had been put in a difficult spot, walked over to remind them that they should sit down before take off.
Mu Xiaoxiao pulled Yin Shaojie back and sat him down.
¡°Hurry up and sit down. You can discuss thister.¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at her. He then stood up to put her seatbelt on for her before returning to his seat.
After the ne had stabilized¡
Yin Shaojie turned her around and made her face him.
Behind him, Feng Tianqi was unhappy. He tapped on the back of Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s chair. ¡°Turn back. I want to talk to you.¡±
Stuck between Feng Tianqi and Yin Shaojie, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry.
She raised her hand and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk anymore. I want to rest. Don¡¯t disturb me.¡±
She reclined her seat with that said and even asked the air stewardess for a nket. She ced it over herself and closed her eyes.
If they bickered like this throughout their ten-hour flight, she would be annoyed to death.
As expected, Feng Tianqi and Yin Shaojie stopped talking when they saw her resting. She had originally nned to pretend to be asleep but the warm nket and the ambient noise of the ne started to lull her to sleep. As she drifted off she suddenly heard Feng Tianqi speak.
Feng Tianqi looked at Yin Shaojie and said, ¡°Hey, are you going to America to take part in thepetition this time? This is a good opportunity. I couldn¡¯t race against you thest time, so we can do it this time. If I win, you have to promise me something.¡±
¡°Whatpetition?¡± asked Yin Shaojie. He lifted his gaze up a little and looked at him.
Feng Tianqi looked at him with disdain. ¡°A racingpetition, duh. It¡¯s an annual event, and the participants are pros from all over the world. How can you not know about this? And you call yourself a racer?¡±
Yin Shaojie thought for a while before remembering that there was indeed apetition like that in America. He had thought of joining it before, but had missed it the past two years. Also, racing was only a hobby to him and he thus didn¡¯t really care aboutpetitions.
¡°Oh, I remember now,¡± he said mildly, looking indifferent.
Feng Tianqi saw his expression and sneered. ¡°It looks like you don¡¯t have any intention to participate at all. Oh right, only pros can join the event. If you go there you¡¯ll only embarrass yourself.¡±
Yin Shaojie was a proud person and his temper was riled up by this provocation.
However, he didn¡¯t disy his emotions, but instead stared at Feng Tianqi expressionlessly. He smirked as he said, ¡°Oh, so you must be a pro. But the winner ofst year¡¯spetition was English, wasn¡¯t it? Or could it be that you¡¯re English and not Chinese?¡±
¡°I!¡± This was Feng Tianqi¡¯s first time being unable to rebut a person and he stared at Yin Shaojie with fury.
Mu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes furtively and they met Yin Shaojie¡¯s dark ones coincidentally.

Yin Shaojie even winked at her delightedly, which caused her tough involuntarily.
Mu Xiaoxiao used her eyes to signal to him to stop provoking Feng Tianqi.
Yin Shaojie smiled but didn¡¯t acknowledge it.
Feng Tianqi regained his senses and goaded Yin Shaojie, ¡°Do you dare participate? Let¡¯s make a wager. The loser has to promise to do something for the winner, how about that? Dare you take on this challenge?¡±
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and red at Yin Shaojie, her eyes full of annoyance. She shook her head vigorously at him, signaling that he should reject Feng Tianqi.
They had to aplish a lot of things in America. They didn¡¯t have time to attend a racing event.
Before Yin Shaojie could reply, Feng Tianqiughed mockingly, ¡°You don¡¯t dare to, right? You look to me like you don¡¯t! Yin Shaojie, you can¡¯t beat my brother, and don¡¯t even think you can beat me. It must be because you know you¡¯re going to lose that you don¡¯t dare to ept my challenge, right?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyebrows shot up.
It was one thing to goad him, but another thing to bring up Feng Shengyang¡¯s name. Who said he couldn¡¯t beat Feng Shengyang? He was really annoyed by these words!
¡°Sure, let¡¯s race!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip and red at him furiously. She even gave him a kick.
What the heck are you doing! Why did you agree to it!
He was going to be the death of her!
Yin Shaojie turned his gaze away and pretended he didn¡¯t understand what her look meant.
Upon getting the answer he wanted, Feng Tianqi smiled. ¡°It¡¯s on then! You¡¯re a little dog if you don¡¯t turn up! If you do, I¡¯ll go to Shangde and distribute leaflets so that everyone knows you backed outst minute!¡±
Yin Shaojie rolled his eyes at him, looking like he had enough.
Mu Xiaoxiao was furious and tried to kick him again.
Yin Shaojie saw it from his peripheral vision and caught her leg between his.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t move her leg and could only re at him.
She no longer pretended to sleep. Rising, she leaned forward, pointed to his nose, and said furiously, ¡°You¡¯ll be going alone if you want to race. I¡¯m not apanying you!¡±
Yin Shaojie caught her fingers and said a little helplessly, ¡°He¡¯s already thrown his glove. I can¡¯t just reject him.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao snorted and shook his hand off. ¡°We aren¡¯t going to America to race! We have a lot of things to do there and we¡¯re going to be really busy! Tell me, which is more important: Xiaomeng and Ye Sijue or your race with him?¡±
Yin Shaojie lifted his gaze and said, ¡°We can amend our itinerary. If we don¡¯t visit that fellow at the hospital we¡¯ll have some time.
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him.
It was obvious that ¡°that fellow¡± was referring to Lu Yichen.
Yin Shaojie continued to persuade her. ¡°It was Qiqing who originally wanted to visit him anyway, not me. Now that she isn¡¯t here, we don¡¯t have to go anymore.¡±
He didn¡¯t want her to visit Lu Yichen.
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him. She thought of a solution and said, ¡°Sure, you don¡¯t have to go if you don¡¯t want to. Let¡¯s do this then. You can go to your race while I go to the hospital.¡±
¡°You can¡¯t do that!¡± Yin Shaojie disapproved of the idea immediately.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to talk to him anymore. Shey back down in her seat and pulled the nket up.
Yin Shaojie leaned forward quickly and tugged at the nket. His brows furrowed as he said in a stern voice, ¡°Hey, are you listening? I didn¡¯t agree to this!¡±

He paused before adjusting his tone. ¡°You can go to the hospital, but you can¡¯t go alone. I¡¯ll apany you, okay? We¡¯ll go to the hospital before going to the race and we¡¯ll look for Sijue too. Okay?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao tried to pull the nket back forcefully, but she couldn¡¯t beat his strength no matter how hard she tried and thus could only give up on the tug-of-war against him.
She lifted her head. ring at him angrily, she said, ¡°I¡¯ve already said that we don¡¯t have that much time! Have you forgotten? Xiaomeng is about to be engaged! Are you going to wait until Xiaomeng finalizes her engagement before bringing Ye Sijue to look for her? Everything will be toote by then!¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned. He thought of apromise and said, ¡°Let¡¯s not go to the hospital to visit that fellow, then. Okay, okay, okay, how about this: we can settle Sijue and Xiaomeng¡¯s matter first before going to the hospital. Is that okay?¡±
¡°No!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao rejected hm huffily.
Yin Shaojie looked at her uprehendingly. The solution he proposed was the best one so far. Why was she still rejecting him?
¡°I let you visit that fellow already. What more do you want?¡±
He had already promised Feng Tianqi that he would show up to the race. He couldn¡¯t just back out now.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked away. In a gloomy voice, she said, ¡°Anyway, I¡¯ll go to the hospital to visit Lu Yichen first before going to look for Xiaomeng. If you want to race, you¡¯ll have to go on your own. I don¡¯t care.¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned. He was a little angry at her response.
¡°Do you really have to visit that fellow first? Can¡¯t you go a littleter?¡±
He dared her to say yes!
¡°Yes!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao replied stubbornly.
His expression changed in an instant and he looked at her, furious. ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao! I dare you to say that again!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. Her eyes were red with tears and she was silent.
It wasn¡¯t that she couldn¡¯t tell that he was angry. She was angry too!
The atmosphere turned icy in an instant.
Luckily, there was no one else except the three of them in the first-ss cabin.
Feng Tianqi turned around to look at them. After thinking for a while, he decided tofort Xiaoxiao, ¡°It¡¯s just like I said. He¡¯s not suitable to be your boyfriend. It¡¯s lucky that you¡¯re only engaged. You should cancel the engagement as soon as possible. My brother is so much better than him. Do you want to date my brother and see?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at him and said coldly, ¡°Shut up! This is a family matter. What has it got to do with you?¡±
¡°What do you mean what does it have to do with me?¡± Feng Tianqiughed. ¡°When you¡¯ve broken up with her and she gets together with my brother, it¡¯ll be my business. Oh, it won¡¯t be any of your business then, right?¡±
¡°What did you say?¡± Yin Shaojie red daggers at him.
Mu Xiaoxiao realized that things were going south and said, ¡°Can the two of you stop fighting?¡±
She reached out to pull Yin Shaojie down to prevent him from fighting Feng Tianqi.
Upon seeing that she was acknowledging him again, Yin Shaojie¡¯s tone softened.
¡®What do you want? Tell me.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him. Her eyes were a little red and her gaze shook a little as she bit her lip. She then said, aggrieved, ¡°I don¡¯t want you to race, get it? Are you not scared from the ident the other time?¡±
¡°Why should I be scared?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s face showed no fear as he answered carefreely.
However, he realized quickly as he met her reddened eyes.
He may not be scared, but she was.
Chapter 1117 - Having Someone to Pamper Her (1)
Chapter 1117: Having Someone to Pamper Her (1)
Yin Shaojie remembered what had happened during the ident. Even though his life hadn¡¯t been in danger, it was the dire situation he had encountered until then.
His heart softened involuntarily.
Yin Shaojie leaned over and caressed her cheek with his warm,rge hands. His maic voice coaxed gently, ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t go to the race. Is this okay now?¡±
¡°You said it yourself.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said. Her dark eyes were still a little teary as she looked into his.
Yin Shaojie used his fingers to caress her face. Nodding, he said, ¡°Since when have I broken a promise to you?¡±
They looked at each other and smiled.
Beside them, Feng Tianqi was hopping mad when he heard this. He pointed at Yin Shaojie and said, ¡°Hey! How can you go back on your word? Didn¡¯t you say that you weren¡¯t going to back out? You¡¯re not a man of your word!¡±
Before Yin Shaojie could reply, Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head swiftly. ring at Feng Tianqi, she said tyrannically, ¡°He¡¯s my man. Nothing he promises you counts before he obtains my permission.¡±
It was Feng Tianqi¡¯s first time encountering such a situation, and he was stunned by how matter-of-factly she stated it. It made him temporarily speechless.
Mu Xiaoxiao crossed her arms as she looked at him and asked, ¡°Do you still want to be my friend?¡±
Feng Tianqi nodded. ¡°Yes¡¡±
¡°If so, give me some face, okay?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said amicably.
Feng Tianqi looked at Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression. Like him, he reached apromise with Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°Okay.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled at him. ¡°Thanks!¡±
¡°So are we friends now?¡± Feng Tianqi smiled. He thought for a while before saying, ¡°I¡¯ll transfer to Shangde after I return home from this race, okay? Which ss are you in? I forgot what ss my mom ced me in previously.¡±
¡°I¡¯m in¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was about to speak when Yin Shaojie cupped his hands over her mouth, giving her a look of displeasure.
She changed her tune immediately and said to Feng Tianqi, ¡°It¡¯s very troublesome to transfer schools, so I don¡¯t think you should. We don¡¯t have to go to the same school to be friends, right?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not troublesome at all. My mom wanted me to study at Shangde anyway. She even tricked me into going there at the start of school but I escaped. I keep having the feeling that she has some kind of scheme up her sleeve, so I keep trying to foil her ns,¡± Feng Tianqi said. He seemed to talk about his mom like she were his enemy.
¡°If you transfer to Shangde again wouldn¡¯t it be in line with your mom¡¯s wishes?¡±
She thought that he had an interesting rtionship with his mom which she admired.
Upon hearing this, Feng Tianqi felt a little conflicted. ¡°Oh yeah, wouldn¡¯t I fall into her trap? But I still haven¡¯t figured out what she¡¯s nning.¡±
¡°Why are you so sure that your mom has ulterior motives?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
¡°She just does! I can tell from one nce. She can¡¯t trick me,¡± Feng Tianqi said with a determined look on his face.
This roused Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s curiosity. She suddenly wanted to know what his mom was nning for him.
¡°I suddenly feel like getting to know your mom. She must be a very interesting person.¡±
¡°Come over to my house after you return to China. My mom will like you a lot.¡± Feng Tianqi extended a warm invitation to her.
Chapter 1118 - Having Someone to Pamper Her (2)
Chapter 1118: Having Someone to Pamper Her (2)
Mu Xiaoxiao was about to agree when Yin Shaojie pinched her cheek.
She turned to look at Yin Shaojie, holding the ce where he had pinched her.
Yin Shaojie smiled a smile that did not reach his eyes as he looked at her. ¡°Aren¡¯t you making friends a little too fast?¡±
They had just be friends, so why were they setting up a meeting with his parents so soon?
Did she consider how her fianc¨¦ would feel?
Mu Xiaoxiao came to her senses quickly and stuck her tongue out internally.
She had originally only wanted to distract Feng Tianqi but became engrossed in their conversation as it progressed.
¡°Let¡¯s talk about this after I return.¡± She waved at Feng Tianqi, indicating that their conversation was now over. She then stretched and saidnguidly, ¡°I want to sleep now. Don¡¯t disturb me.¡±
Thus, she pretended to sleep again.
After ten hours they finally arrived in America.
In order to avoid talking to Feng Tianqi, Mu Xiaoxiao slept on the ne for most of the flight, aside from mealtimes. Thus, she felt a little dizzy after she got off the ne, as though she were disoriented.
Yin Shaojie held her with one arm and pushed their luggage cart with his other hand as they walked out.
Feng Tianqi followed them from behind. ¡°Where are you going? I have a car. I can give you a ride.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need.¡± Yin Shaojie rejected him. Taking out a cell phone, he made a call.
After a few moments someone came up swiftly and called out respectfully, ¡°Young Master Yin.¡±
Yin Shaojie passed the luggage to this person before bending over and letting Mu Xiaoxiao lean on his back.
She seemed to instinctively reach out and hug his neck, leaning herself onto his back so that he could carry her.
Feng Tianqi watched the loving couple leave the airport.
¡ª¡ª-
The temperature in America was a lot colder than in China.
Mu Xiaoxiao leaned onto Yin Shaojie¡¯s cosy back. She was warmed by his body heat and jacket as she closed her eyes in the car seat.
Mu Xiaoxiao leaned against the back of her seat. Feeling ufortable, she tried to look for him with her eyes still half-closed.
Yin Shaojie entered the car. He then pulled her close with his long arm, letting her lean into his embrace.
Mu Xiaoxiao closed her eyes once she felt his warmth again.
¡°Alright, continue sleeping.¡± Yin Shaojie caressed her head lightly and said to her in a low voice.
Mu Xiaoxiao then buried her little head into his muscr chest and continued her slumber.
Yin Shaojie gestured to the chauffeur to drive.
Just then, her phone started ringing.
Mu Xiaoxiao squirmed like a little animal. She reached around for her phone but couldn¡¯t find it. Yin Shaojie helped her find her phone, pulling her moving head back into his chest.
¡°I¡¯ll take the call,¡± he said.
It was a call from William. He said that he had sent someone to meet her at the airport but they had missed her.
Yin Shaojie lowered his voice as he replied, ¡°I¡¯m Yin Shaojie. We¡¯ve already left the airport. I¡¯ll get her to call you once she wakes up.¡±
William acknowledged his words and was about to hang up before he paused and said, ¡°Ye Sijue is your friend, right?¡±
¡°Yeah. What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yin Shaojie felt as though William wouldn¡¯t mention Ye Sijue for no reason.
¡°Your friend is now at Chris¡¯s house as a guest. Chris is Annie¡¯s fianc¨¦. Tell Xiaoxiao about this once she wakes up. Go to Chris¡¯ house directly.¡±
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes. What kind of situation was this?
¡°Alright, I got it. I¡¯ll tell Xiaoxiao about it.¡±
Chapter 1119 - Having Someone to Pamper Her (3)

It looked like he couldn¡¯t just let Xiaoxiao sleep. They had to meet up with Ye Sijue.
¡°Also,¡± William¡¯s tone was a little stern as he continued talking. ¡°There¡¯s something that I feel I have to tell you. Annie and Chris¡¯s engagement isn¡¯t a simple one. It affects not just my and Chris¡¯s families. I can¡¯t divulge any details but their engagement cannot be broken. I hope you¡¯ll be able to understand this.¡±
Yin Shaojie was silent for a while before replying, ¡°I understand.¡±
William then ended the call.
Yin Shaojie put the phone away. He looked down at Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s peaceful sleeping face.
He couldn¡¯t help but think about Ye Sijue¡¯s current situation.
How would he feel if My Xiaoxiao were secretly engaged to someone else?
He was unable to imagine how wretched he would feel.
Ye Sijue was one of his best buddies. He had to help.
But the situation¡
William was Xiaoxiao¡¯s good friend. He already told them not to break Annie and Chris¡¯s engagement. Xiaoxiao would be put on the spot.
Yin Shaojie sighed again. Lowering his head, he kissed Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s head softly and gently.
He was lucky that his rtionship with Xiaoxiao was rtively steady.
He felt that growing up with Xiaoxiaoid a solid foundation for their feelings and that their love ran so deep that their rtionship indestructible.
No one in the world could snatch Xiaoxiao away from him.
¡
Chris¡¯s castle was beautiful. It was built in the European medieval style, which made visitors feel as though they had traveled centuries through time.
Sunlight glittered across therge bed.
Annie opened her drowsy eyes. She felt a little disorientated.
She felt that she was still in China.
She was obviously in a very beautiful castle right now,ying on a gorgeous European-style bed. There was nothing around her that had anything to do with China.
However, she was still thinking of her condominium in City A. She particrly missed the bed that she had slept on for only a few days and the living room in which she had chased Ye Sijue around.
Annie turned to the side and hugged a pillow to her chest as she looked out the window. She didn¡¯t know why but she sighed a little.
She then flipped over, sat up, and got out of bed, putting on her slippers.
After washing up, a female helper walked in and went into the cloakroom to help her pick out her clothes. A dazzling line of clothes in all sorts of styles awaited her. Chris had specially ordered them for her.
After changing, Annie walked down to an enormous living room.
She hadn¡¯t expected Tian Yunxin to already be there.
Tian Yunxin looked like she was enjoying herself. She was sitting on an European-style three-seater sofa as she drank coffee from an elegant porcin cup with a floral design. From where Annie was, she looked like a princess.
It couldn¡¯t be helped. Anyone living within the gorgeous castle walls could easily be mistaken for nobility.
¡°Morning.¡± Tian Yunxin lifted her gaze and smirked a little as she greeted Annie.
Annie frowned slightly at her attitude.
Chapter 1120 - Having Someone to Pamper Her (4)
Chapter 1120: Having Someone to Pamper Her (4)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The wondrous mood she been enjoying prior was ruined.
She really didn¡¯t want to see Tian Yunxin.
In that moment, she was quite angry with Chris. Why did he even invite this woman to be a guest at the castle?
It was enough that he invited Ye Sijue!
Annie really couldn¡¯t understand what was up with Chris. He wasn¡¯t the type to do such a thing.
The maid beside her asked, ¡°Miss Annie, what would you like to have for breakfast?¡±
Annie had no appetite. She shook her head and said, ¡°No need. I don¡¯t feel like eating now.¡±
The maid looked awkward. ¡°But¡ His Highness said not to let Miss go hungry. Would you like to have a Western or Chinese breakfast?¡±
¡°Chinese breakfast, please,¡± Annie said, remembering the food that she had eaten with Ye Sijue.
The maid nodded. ¡°Alright, Miss, we¡¯ll go prepare breakfast.¡±
Sitting on the sofa, Tian Yunxin raised her brows as she stared at Annie, sounding sarcastic as she said, ¡°I really envy you. Having such a nice fianc¨¦ to pamper you must be nice. If I were you, I¡¯d choose him. No wonder you would¡¡±
She deliberately stopped at herst sentence.
Annie was a very simple and straightforward person. Whenever she met someone she didn¡¯t like, she wouldn¡¯t even bother to look at them, much less talk to them.
So she didn¡¯t respond to Tian Yunxin as she turned and walked into the dining room.
Tian Yunxin stood up, put down the cup that she was holding, and signaled for the maid to get it before following Annie into the dining room.
She purposely sat down opposite of Annie, her right hand touching her face as she gave Annie a provocative smile. Then she said to the maid, ¡°I suddenly feel like eating breakfast. Make one for me too.¡±
Annie looked at her. Annoyed, she asked, ¡°Why are you following me?¡±
Was she a copycat, following her all around?
Tian Yunxin chuckled. ¡°I¡¯m a guest here. I have the freedom to go wherever I want to, right? It¡¯s not like I¡¯m obstructing you.¡±
She was carelessly acrid in her manner of speech so much so that even the maids standing to the side frowned upon hearing that.
Annie wasn¡¯t a girl who liked to lose her temper. She was typically an easy-going person. But around people like Tian Yunxin, who was clearly a bad person and had schemed against her before, Annie couldn¡¯t possibly treat her nicely.
Folding her arms at her chest, Annie looked at Tian Yunxin and said bluntly, ¡°I really hate seeing you. Do you believe that I will drive you out of here?¡±
Tian Yunxin was startled. She didn¡¯t expect her to be so direct. She thought Annie was a little meek sheep from their encounter in China.
Just then, a pleasant voice said, ¡°Good morning! What are you two talking about?¡±
Chris walked into the room, smiling. In a casual manner, his hand rested on the back of Annie¡¯s chair.
He lowered his head and kissed Annie on her soft cheek.
¡°Morning, Annie. Did you sleep wellst night?¡±
The gentleness in his voice was indescribable.
Watching the two interact, Tian Yunxin¡¯s eyes were filled with jealousy, and her hands were clenched.
She smiled, casting a charming eye at Chris as she said, ¡°Your Highness, aren¡¯t you going to say good morning to me?¡±
Chapter 1121 - I Am the One She Likes (1)

Chris ignored her. He didn¡¯t even turn as his gaze was fixed on Annie, his long, fair fingers brushing the hair near Annie¡¯s ears.
He then turned his head slightly to look at the breakfast on the table. He smiled mildly and said, ¡°You haven¡¯t eaten breakfast yet? Great, I just woke up and haven¡¯t eaten either. Let¡¯s eat together.¡±
Annie looked at him strangely.
Why did he not respond to Tian Yunxin?
He invited Tian Yunxin to be a guest at the castle, but he acted like she didn¡¯t exist. What was the meaning of that?
¡°Why are you looking at me like that?¡± Chris sat next to her. His elegant face turned to the side. With a bright expression, he looked into her eyes.
Annie propped her chin up with her hand, and she pointed a finger at him with the other hand, saying softly, ¡°You¡¯re acting weird.¡±
Chrisughed. His head shifted closer to her, and he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, ¡°Make a guess, then. What do you think I want to do?¡±
¡°How would I know? I¡¯m not a worm in your stomach,¡± Annie said as she shrugged her shoulders.
Chris looked at her unhappily. ¡°Annie, we grew up together. How could you not know me? You¡¯re making me sad.¡±
Annie nced at Tian Yunxin, who sat opposite of her.
Chris reached out and pushed the Chinese breakfast to her while taking a Western-style breakfast for himself. ¡°Eat this.¡±
¡°How did you know that I wanted to eat this?¡± Annie was still thinking about which breakfast she wanted to have. Now that he decided for her, she realized that she had indeed wanted to have the Chinese breakfast.
Chrisughed, ¡°Because I¡¯m a worm in your stomach.¡±
Because Chris ignored her, Tian Yunxin was looking glum.
Since Prince Chris invited her to be a guest at his castle, she had thought that he was interested in her, but now it seemed that this wasn¡¯t the case at all.
Tian Yunxin had always thought that she was good at understanding men.
Men were all visual creatures. They all talked about being interested in pure and simple girls, but which of them weren¡¯t attracted to seductive beauties?
Men were especially attracted the kind of women who could let themselves loose in bed.
Tian Yunxin snorted. She refused to believe it.
She thought that Chris was only putting on a show for Annie. She wanted to seduce him when they were alone so that he could reveal his true colors.
Tian Yunxin smiled confidently, raising her eyebrows as she looked at Annie. Then she looked down to eat her breakfast.
While she was eating the two sitting opposite her began to act even more intimately, even sharing their breakfasts.
Chris put down his fork and looked around. He looked to one of the maids he asked, ¡°Where is Mr. Ye? Is he still in bed?¡±
Hearing the name, Annie froze for a moment. Biting the chopsticks, her big eyes couldn¡¯t help but looked to the stairs.
¡°Mr. Ye is¡¡±
Just when the helper was about to answer, footsteps were heard from the stairs.
Everyone turned to look.
A pair of long legs slowly and gracefully walked down the stairs. Then appeared a tall, handsome figure in a ck casual attire. Ye Yejue looked like a prince in the dark.
¡°Morning,¡± he said, his voice sounding as sweet as a violin. Smiling faintly, his blue eyes looked around and finally his gaze rested upon Annie.
Chapter 1122 - I Am the One She Likes (2)

Annie felt inexplicably nervous, her jaw instinctively tightening.
¡°Ah.¡± She bite the chopsticks and identally hurt her lips.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Chris turned to her and asked worriedly, pinching her chin and lifting her head up so that she would look at him.
The two were in an intimate position.
As Ye Sijue approached and saw the scene, his pupils constricted.
Annie shook her head and pushed Chris¡¯s hand away nervously. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I just identally bit myself.¡±
¡°Did you hurt your lips?¡± Chris¡¯s hand touched her cheek again.
¡°No, they¡¯re fine. Eat your breakfast.¡± Annie forced a smile, then she bent her head down and ate her breakfast, avoiding eye contact with Ye Sijue.
Ye Sijue went and sat down next to her.
The atmosphere immediately turned awkward.
Annie was like a surrounded by moons. She was apanied by two men while Tian Yunxin was just the opposite. Sitting alone, she looked like a pitiful, lonely soul.
Though Tian Yunxin was smiling, she was secretly gritting her teeth. The hand holding the fork was clenched tightly as she red at Annie.
However, no one noticed her expression because no one cared about her.
¡°Morning. What would you like to have for breakfast?¡± Chris asked Ye Sijue.
Ye Sijue nced at the food in front of Annie before saying, ¡°Chinese food.¡±
Chris gestured to the helper.
Annie suddenly put down her chopsticks, looked at Chris, and said, ¡°I¡¯m full. Take your time and enjoy your breakfast.¡±
She ceremoniously nodded at everyone and stood up.
Chris grasped her little hand.
He smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m also full. I¡¯ll go out and take a walk with you.¡±
With that said, he smiled politely at Ye Sijue and Tian Yunxin before holding Annie¡¯s little hand as they left the dining table.
With two fewer people at the dining table, the atmosphere was quiet and cheerless.
Tian Yunxin looked up as the two walked away. She deliberately sighed and said in an envious tone, ¡°Young Master Ye, don¡¯t you think that they are good match? It¡¯s just like in a fairy tale where the prince walks with the princess. My god, it¡¯s too sweet! You weren¡¯t here just now, so you didn¡¯t see how well Chris was treating Annie. I have never seen such a perfect man. Annie is truly blessed.¡±
¡°Oh really?¡± Ye Sijue said indifferently.
¡°However¡¡± Tian Yunxin looked at him with disappointment as she continued talking, ¡°Young Master Ye, I think that Annie seems to be happier when she¡¯s with you. It seems as though she¡¯s a girl in love. But when she¡¯s with Chris, though it¡¯s sweet, it seems more like they are a family.¡±
Upon hearing this, Ye Sijue finally looked up at her.
Tian Yunxin smiled, d that that her words had caught his attention.
¡°I¡¯m also a girl, so I can tell that Annie definitely likes you more.¡±
She leaned forward, her hand open to the side, hiding her mouth as she whispered to him, ¡°Young Master Ye, do you want to know Annie¡¯s true feelings? I can help you.¡±
Chapter 1123 - I Am the One She Likes (3)

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°You can help me? How?¡± Ye Sijue rested his hands on the table, his fingersced together as he stared at her contemtively.
Tian Yunxin said, ¡°You must be aching to know whether Annie likes you or Chris, right?¡±
Ye Sijue stared at her. He was silent for a few seconds before saying confidently, ¡°I know she likes me.¡±
Tian Yunxin paused for a moment. Then she chuckled and said, ¡°Of course¡¡±
¡°You haven¡¯t told me yet. You said that you can help me. How can you help?¡± Ye Sijue interrupted her, not wanting to hear her drivel.
Tian Yunxin¡¯s eyes rolled craftily. She smiled charmingly and said, ¡°Young Master Ye, of course girls would know best regarding girls. You should make her examine her feelings.¡±
¡°Oh? Continue.¡± Ye Sijue seemed interested in hearing about it.
¡°We¡¯ll talk more when we go outter¡¡±
¡
There was a meadow in front of the castle. The grass from spring had withered since it was winter.
It hadn¡¯t started snowing yet. Though the weather was cold, walking under the bright sunshine still brought warmth.
Ye Sijue and Tian Yunxin were whispering in each other¡¯s ears as they walked. Not too far in the distance, Annie was ying with an skan dog and smiling happily. Chris stood by and watched her with gentle eyes.
The corner of Tian Yunxin¡¯s mouth curled up in a dark smile as she put her arms around Ye Sijue¡¯s and whispered to him, ¡°Young Master Ye, let¡¯s go over there.¡±
Ye Sijue¡¯s gaze was locked on Annie.
The two went over together.
Annie was using the ball to y with the skan dog. The dog chased the ball around, making herugh happily.
¡°Woof woof!¡± The skan dog suddenly started barking in a certain direction.
Annie turned to look and saw Ye Sijue and Tian Yunxin. Her gaze fell upon seeing that they were holding of each other¡¯s arms.
Tian Yunxin gave an amiable smile. ¡°Wow, this dog is so beautiful. What is its name?¡±
She reached out her hand to pet the dog, but the skan dog barked at her. It didn¡¯t look friendly at all.
Tian Yunxin was shocked. She almost couldn¡¯t keep up her feigned friendliness. Her brows wrinkled and revealed a tinge of annoyance.
The skan dog barked even louder, as if Tian Yunxi was a bad person.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Annie squatted down and hugged the skan dog¡¯s neck, her hand brushing its fur. She said softly to calm it down, ¡°It¡¯s okay, she¡¯s not a bad person.¡±
She felt somewhat ufortable saying that because she was telling a lie.
Tian Yunxin usually hated dogs, but in order to implement the n she had concocted with Ye Sijue earlier, she had to force herself to get close to it. Forcing a smile, she said to Annie, ¡°I love dogs. Can I y with it?¡±
With that said, she reached for Annie¡¯s ball.
Annie didn¡¯t seem very willing to give it to her. Holding onto the ball, she continued to pacify the skan dog.
Chris looked at Tian Yunxin. A thought came to him, and he said to Annie, ¡°Since Miss Tian wants to y with it, let her have the ball.¡±
Annie was surprised, and she looked up at him.
Chris smiled at her, his smile enigmatic.
Annie handed the ball to Tian Yunxin.
Chapter 1124 - I Am the One She Likes (4)
Chapter 1124: I Am the One She Likes (4)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Tian Yunxin was felt peeved. She didn¡¯t want to touch the ball that the dog had put in its mouth. Thinking about the dog¡¯s saliva on the ball and the dirty bacteria that came with it, she couldn¡¯t help but be disgusted as she held the dog toy.
But she still kept up her smile and pretended to like the dog.
¡°Doggy, isn¡¯t this ball cute?¡±
She waved the ball in front of the skan dog before throwing it far away.
However, the dog, which had always liked ying fetch with the ball, didn¡¯t chase after it. It simply sat beside Annie, motionless. It didn¡¯t even bother to look at the ball.
Tian Yunxin was quite angry because she thought that the dog wasn¡¯t showing her respect.
She feigned a smile as she said, ¡°Does it not like to y with strangers? It seems very shy.¡±
Chris patted the dog on its back. The dog looked at him. It ran and fetched the ball and ced it in front of Annie. The dog opened its mouth while facing her, looking pure and cute.
The dog was making Annie happy, and she couldn¡¯t help but stroke its little head, praising it, ¡°Baby is so good.¡±
Tian Yunxin¡¯s expression was dark.
How was her n going to work now?
Just then, a bird flew to the central pond. It was arge bird with beautiful white feathers.
As soon as the skan dog saw the bird its eyes glimmered. It chased after the bird.
Seeing that, Tian Yunxin took the chance to act. She cheered as she followed after it. ¡°Wow, it¡¯s a bird. So beautiful! What bird is this?¡±
Annie was also curious so she went over.
Ye Sijue and Chris followed beside her.
Upon taking a close look at the bird, Annie was very curious. She turned and asked, ¡°What kind of bird is this? It¡¯s winter already! How can there still be birds around?¡±
When she realized that the person she was asking was Ye Sijue, she was stunned. She turned her head awkwardly to Chris, who was on her left, and she asked, ¡°What bird is this?¡±
¡°It¡¯s a swan.¡± Ye Sijue¡¯s deep voice came from her right.
Annie forgot about the awkwardness. Surprised, she asked, ¡°A swan? Why is there a swan here?¡±
It was winter, and the birds were all flying south. Swans were a rare sight during the winter.
Chris nodded. ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s a swan.¡±
Tian Yunxin, who was in front, turned with a look of surprise on her face. ¡°It¡¯s actually a swan? A white swan?¡±
She beckoned to Annie. ¡°Annie,e over here quickly. Come closer and look. It¡¯s really beautiful. Look at the feathers. They¡¯re too beautiful!¡±
Annie didn¡¯t give it much thought as she walked up beside her. Her eyes were filled with wonder, fixed upon the white swan.
¡°Did it get left behind?¡±
The skan dog also seemed to like the white swan. It was barking cheerfully at the swan and seemed like it wanted to jump into the water to catch it.
Although it hadn¡¯t snowed, the weather was very chilly, and the water in the pond was very cold.
Annie was afraid that it would jump in, so she went to pull it back.
Tian Yunxin¡¯s eyes glimmered faintly and the corner of her mouth curled up darkly. Looking worried, she said, ¡°Annie, be careful. Don¡¯t fall¡ªAh!¡±
Looking as though she tried to pull Annie back, she actually pushed Annie instead.
Annie lost her bnce and fell into the pond.
¡°Woof!¡± The skan dog ran up and pounced onto Tian Yunxin, causing her to fall into the pond as well.

Although Ye Sijue had been watching Tian Yunxin closely, everything happened too fast. He was too slow to grab Annie in time.
When Annie fell into the pond, Ye Sijue¡¯s expression changed. Without a moment¡¯s thought, he ran over and jumped into the pond.
Almost at the same time, Tian Yunxin was pushed into the pond by the skan dog.
The pond was very deep, enough to keep their heads submerged while standing.
¡°Ah! Help!¡± Tian Yunxin struggled anxiously, her hands iling around and sshing the water.
Standing beside the pond, Chris looked at her coldly but had no intention of saving her.
He only spared Tian Yunxin a nce before turning his eyes back to Annie, looking very worried.
¡°Bring her up quickly!¡± he shouted to Ye Sijue.
It was obvious how cold the pond was.
Annie¡¯s lips were pale. Her face was already very fair but now she was dangerously pale.
Ye Sijue held her as he quickly swam to the edge of the pond.
Chris reached out to pull her up. Then he quickly took off his jacket and wrapped it over her.
He hugged her, rubbed his warm palm on her arm to generate heat for her.
Annie was trembling all over, shaking like a leaf. She stared at Ye Sijue, her voice shaking as she shouted at him, ¡°W-why did you jump in? I can swim!¡±
Unbeknown to them, the sun had set already. The sky was gloomy and ice seemed to be floating in the wind.
Staring at Ye Sijue¡¯s freezing, pale lips, Annie felt an indescribable aching inside.
Watching the two of them, Chris frowned and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go back to the house first.¡±
Annie was going to stand up, but Ye Sijue kept a stern look as he approached. With his long arm he snatched her from Chris¡¯s arms and carried her by the waist.
¡°Puh¡ Save me! Help!¡± Tian Yunxin¡¯s screams were heard from the pond. She was still sshing about in the water, looking like she was about to sink.
Annie noticed her. Turning her attention away from Ye Sijue, she looked at Tian Yunxin and told them, ¡°Hurry up and save her.¡±
Chris said seriously, ¡°You two head back first.¡±
Carrying Annie, Ye Sijue quickly ran back to the castle. On the way back, a helper hurriedly brought a nket to her and wrapped it over Annie.
Tian Yunxin was still floundering in the pond and shouting for help.
Chris stuck his hand in his pocket and stared at her.
Tian Yunxin stretched her arms out to him for help, shouting in a hoarse voice, ¡°Help¡ Prince Chris, please save me¡¡±
There was a strong helper who rushed over. She looked at the prince in confusion. She hesitated and wondered if she should save the secretary.
Chris stepped forward and stood on arge rock by the pond.
Looking down at Tian Yunxin, he scoffed, ¡°You can swim, can¡¯t you?¡±
In the water, Tian Yunxin was startled, her expression unpleasant. But unknowingly, her actions had exposed her.
Chris said, ¡°Someone who can swim reacts differently than someone who can¡¯t swim when they fall into the water. You¡¯re not smart enough to fool me.¡±
Tian Yunxin was so hard-pressed that she was going to keep up the act, but upon hearing how he was ridiculing her, she was flustered. If she were to keep up the act she would only embarrass herself further

She finally stopped struggling. She swam toward the edge of the pond.
The pond was too cold. It felt like she was going numb and she wanted to quickly get out of the water.
However, when she swam to the edge of the pond, Chris pressed down on Tian Yunxin¡¯s head with his foot.
Glub! Glub!
She panicked and struggled, her hands pping and sshing water on Chris¡¯s shoes and trousers.
Chris looked down at his wet shoes and trousers, his devilish brows showing a hint of displeasure.
The helper at the side didn¡¯t dare to speak out or step forward. She lowered her head, apparently not surprised by the prince¡¯s behavior.
Tian Yunxin was greatly shocked. She had never thought that the gentle and cultured Prince Chris would treat her like this. The pond was already so icy, and now she was even more frightened because she was afraid that he was going to kill her.
After being forced to drink a few mouthfuls of water, her head was finally released.
Though Tian Yunxin knew how to swim, she no longer had the strength anymore. She could only rely on herst ounce of willpower to live.
Chris released her and he shot an icy look at her as if he were looking at some trash.
He said coldly to the helper standing at the side, ¡°Pull her up and call the police!¡±
With that said, he turned and walked toward the castle.
After hearing his instructions, the helper went to pull up Tian Yunxin.
Tian Yunxin shivered violently. Sheid down on the ground and curled up in a ball.
The helper didn¡¯t dare cover her with a nket but upon considering that she might freeze to death, the helper had no choice but to carry her back to the castle with other helpers.
Along the way back, the cold wind made Tian Yunxin so cold that the helpers carrying her thought that she had already died.
She had always lived a pampered life since she was young. She never needed to experience hunger or cold so she never knew that freezing to death was such a frightening experience.
However, she was about to experience even more frightening thingster on.
¡
In the castle.
Ye Sijue carried Annie inside. The helpers responded quickly. They had already prepared hot water so that he could put Annie in.
Anniey in the hot water and felt a lot better. Her delicate little face regained its color.
She looked up at Ye Sijue and said hoarsely, ¡°I¡¯m feeling much better. Go and change your clothes. Your clothes are still wet.¡±
¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Ye Sijue gazed deeply into her eyes and said in a deep voice, ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡ It¡¯s my fault.¡±
Annie shook her head. ¡°This isn¡¯t your fault. It¡¯s hers¡¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s my fault.¡± Ye Sijue took a deep breath, his eyes carrying guilt. ¡°I knew that she was going to do something bad to you, but I didn¡¯t do a good job of guarding you.¡±
This wasn¡¯t the n that Tian Yunxin had initially talked about but Ye Sijue had never intended to cooperate with her.
Everything happened so fast that he couldn¡¯t protect Annie in time.
He thought that everything was his fault.
If he had told Tian Yunxin not to hurt Annie none of this would have happened.
Chapter 1127 - Do You Blame Me (3)
Chapter 1127: Do You me Me (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Therefore, it was his fault.
Annie still shook her head and reached out to touch his face. ¡°It¡¯s my fault. I knew that she was a bad person, but I didn¡¯t keep my guard up.¡±
She didn¡¯t expect Tian Yunxin to push her into theke.
Did Tian Yunxin think that Chris and Ye Sijue would believe her if she said that it wasn¡¯t intentional?
As Annie touched his face, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and she eximed, ¡°Your face¡ Why is it so hot!¡±
She cupped Ye Sijue¡¯s face in her hands and felt a burning sensation.
¡°Do you have a fever? Quickly change out of your wet clothes! Hurry up! Prepare hot water for him,¡± Annie anxiously instructed the helpers.
¡°I¡¯m fine¡¡± Ye Sijue put his hand over hers. Hisrge palm was very hot as he held her little hand.
They were only holding hands but it was enough to make her heart tremble.
Ye Sijue¡¯s face came up to hers. His eyes, as beautiful as a gem, gazed deeply and fixedly into her eyes.
He said with a deep, husky voice, ¡°Xiaomeng¡ Do you me me for not having said those words to you?¡±
Annie was choking as she said, ¡°Which words?¡±
¡°I like¡¡±
Before he could finish saying talking, his head drooped and he fainted.
¡°Ye Sijue!¡± Annie hugged his head in a panic, holding his head in her arms. ¡°Ye Sijue, wake up, wake up!¡±
Ye Sijue fell softly to the floor, his head in her arms.
¡°Ye Sijue, don¡¯t scare me! Don¡¯t scare me!¡±
Annie whimpered as she shouted and held his face in her little hands. She was frightened by his high temperature.
She had always known him to be a tall and mighty person who could do anything. She had never seen him so vulnerable.
Looking at his pale, lifeless, elegant face, she felt pain in her heart.
She was suddenly scared.
If this person were to disappear from her world, what would she do?
¡
Tian Yunxi was in a daze and she looked half dead.
She thought that she was already miserable enough.
But the truth was that there was more toe.
She was carried back to the castle and after a helper helped her change into a clean set of clothes, she was taken to the living room.
The police were waiting for her.
Chris had reported her for intentional assault.
Tian Yunxin¡¯s muddle headed brain still hadn¡¯t caught on to what was happening and she was taken away by the policemen.
This was her first time sitting in a police car. Soon she was sitting in a cell.
Tian Yunxin got up from the ground weakly. She hit the door and cried out, ¡°Get me a doctor! I¡¯m so cold¡¡±
Tap tap tap. Footsteps approached.
A policeman came over and squatted down to look at her.
¡°Save your energy. Orders are not to get you a doctor so that you can keep suffering. But don¡¯t worry, you won¡¯t die. When you are about to die, a doctor will be called for you.¡±
Tian Yunxin looked at him in disbelief.

Her voice trembled as she said, ¡°Y-you can¡¯t do this! I will sue you! Cough cough! I-I want awyer! Let me make a phone call. I want awyer!¡±
At first, she was agitated and angry, but slowly, her voice got weaker and weaker as her coughing got worse.
¡°Be quiet. There¡¯s no point shouting.¡± The policeman snorted. He hit the door to scare her.
The policeman stood up and left.
Her throat dry and hoarse, Tian Yunxin continued to shout, but no one cared about her.
She curled upon on the ground. She was so, so cold, feeling as if she was about to die.
Just then, she realized that everything was Chris¡¯s n. He was doing this for Annie, retaliating for her.
Tian Yunxin had never felt so much regret. She had provoked the ire of a frightening person.
That prince, who looked so gentle, elegant, and ssy initially, was actually a frightening person.
Tian Yunxin wasn¡¯t an inexperienced person. She had hurt others before, and she had used vicious means as well.
But for the first time, she felt fear. Deep fear!
¡
New York Pce Hotel.
¡°Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao¡¡± A maic voice was whispering in her ear.
Mu Xiaoxiao was awakened and she felt dizzy.
When she opened her eyes, it was still misty so she couldn¡¯t clearly see the face of the person before her.
Then a familiar manly scent wafted toward her, followed by a kiss on her lips.
¡°Are you awake now, my sleeping beauty?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes andnguidly hooked her arms around Yin Shaojie¡¯s neck. ¡°How long have I been sleeping? It feels like I have been sleeping for a long time¡¡±
Yin Shaojie tapped his finger on her little nose, ¡°Sigh. You slept on the ne and you slept again for two hours after you got off the ne. Initially, I didn¡¯t want to wake you up, but now it¡¯s time to eat. You didn¡¯t eat much on the ne, so I was afraid that you might be hungry.¡±
Although she usually loved to sleep in on the weekends, she had slept too much today. He was afraid that she wouldn¡¯t feel good after sleeping for so long, so he had no choice but to wake her up.
¡°Hmm¡ Seems like I¡¯ve slept for pretty long.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shook her little head, feeling strange as though her head wasn¡¯t hers.
¡°Stop shaking. That will only make you feel more ufortable.¡± Yin Shaojie quickly stopped her, holding her little head in her hands to stop her from shaking.
She was already feeling dizzy. If she were to keep shaking her head wouldn¡¯t she feel even more ufortable? What a little dummy.
Mu Xiaoxiao stretched her arms into the air, her voice sounding like a kid as she ordered him, ¡°Pull me up.¡±
Yin Shaojieughed. He sat down on the bed before reaching out his arms to lift her up.
After sitting her up, he put a pillow behind her back.
¡°Sit here. I¡¯ll pour you a ss of water. You¡¯re still in a daze.¡±
With that said, he got off the bed and went to the living room.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked around the room. It was a luxurious presidential suite. Through the French window, she could see the whole of New York.
She suddenly wanted to go to the toilet, so she lifted the nket and was about to get off the bed.
However, she didn¡¯t get a solid footing and almost fell down into a warm embrace.
¡°What are you trying to do?¡± Yin Shaojie asked in a pampering tone.
¡°I want to¡ go to the toilet.¡±
He carried her over to the toilet.

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Ah!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. She didn¡¯t expect him to suddenly carry her, so she reflexively hooked her arms around his neck.
Staring at her, Yin Shaojie said in a disapproving manner, ¡°After sleeping for so long of course you wouldn¡¯t be able to stand if you suddenly get off the bed. Can¡¯t you be more careful? What if you fall? How will you survive of I¡¯m not around?¡±
How had she had survived four years in America? Did someone taking care of her every day?
Suddenly, he thought of William. Jealousy surged inside him.
Though he knew that she and William shared no romantic feelings, he couldn¡¯t help but feel jealous at the thought of another guy being close to her.
What if there were other guys besides William?
Oh yeah! Didn¡¯t she say that she and her first boyfriend were pretty close?
Now that they were in America, Yin Shaojie suddenly felt a strong urge to find her so-called boyfriend. Although she had said that they didn¡¯t really date, but he couldn¡¯t help but wonder.
He had a feeling that her boyfriend definitely liked Xiaoxiao.
¡°What¡¯s the matter? Your expression is odd.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao noticed something. She looked up at him, curiously scrutinizing his elegant face.
¡°Nothing.¡± Yin Shaojie changed his expression immediately to mask himself. He carried her to the washroom and put her down.
¡°Didn¡¯t you want to go to the toilet? Go on. Or do you want me to stay and help?¡± he smiled sinisterly, his hand against the wall as he looked down at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him funnily, pointed outside, and said, ¡°Get lost!¡±
Yin Shaojieughed, turned around, and left.
Before closing the door, he turned to look at her and said jokingly, ¡°I¡¯m at the door. If anything happens to you, shout for me and I wille in and save you.¡±
¡°Puh-lease! What could possibly happen?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao thought that he was beingme.
Yin Shaojieughed, ¡°You might slip when taking a shower or your clothes might get wet.¡±
¡°Stop jinxing it! Close the door!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pressed him.
Yin Shaojie made a hand gesture and smiled very dashingly before closing the door.
He went out and picked up the telephone to order delivery.
Unexpectedly, the doorbell rang only a few minutes after the call ended.
Wasn¡¯t the delivery a bit too quick?
Yin Shaojie was curious. He walked up to the door and opened it. A waiter was at the door pushing a meal cart.
¡°Sir, your meal has arrived.¡±
¡°Bring it in,¡± he said. He took a quick nce at the food on the dining car. It really was what he had ordered. Even if it was Western food, it wasn¡¯t possible for it to be prepared so quickly.
¡°Yes, sir.¡± Waiter nodded deferentially and pushed the meal cart in.
Yin Shaojie crossed his arms after closing the door, watching the waiter.
The waiter pushed the cart into the living room, then he took out the food and put it on the coffee table.
Yin Shaojie went up and stared sharply at his face.
The waiter was very at ease as if he weren¡¯t aware that he was being stared at as he continued his work.

Yin Shaojieughed instead. In a teasing voice, he said, ¡°You¡¯ve discovered me!¡±
No one had ever met his gaze so calmly, especially not amoner.
This could only mean that he wasn¡¯t an ordinary person.
However, the waiter still did not react, as if he hadn¡¯t heard his words.
¡°Who are you?¡± Yin Shaojie reached out suddenly and grabbed the shoulder of the waiter.
The waiter was stunned. Lowering his head, he said timidly, ¡°Sir, what are you talking about?¡±
Yin Shaojieughed a little mockingly as he said, ¡°Your acting skills really suck, do you know that? Or are you¡ doing this deliberately? Are you afraid that I can¡¯t tell?¡±
The attendant paused for less than a second before choosing to continue his act. ying innocent, he said, ¡°Sir, I really don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about. Would you like any other service?¡±
¡°Service? I need it!¡±
Yin Shaojie looked around. He sat on the sofa and ced his hands behind his head like a master.
The waiter turned around. Bowing slightly, he asked, ¡°So, sir, what kind of service would you like?¡±
Yin Shaojie ced both his feet onto the coffee table. ¡°My legs are a little numb. Massage them for me.¡±
The waiter paused for two seconds. He looked awkward as he apologized, ¡°Sorry, sir. Our hotel doesn¡¯t provide such services¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t be dirty-minded. I don¡¯t want that kind of service. I only want you to help me massage my legs. It¡¯s as simple as that. You don¡¯t want to help a guest whose feet are numb? Looks like I have to call up the manager for your lousy attitude,¡± Yin Shaojie said, grinning.
The waiter hesitated for a while before reaching for Yin Shaojie¡¯s long legs.
He paused for two seconds before starting his massage.
Yin Shaojie looked as though he were enjoying himself. He lifted his head, closed his eyes, and ordered, ¡°Use more strength, no, move up a little. Are you a man? Can¡¯t you use more strength?¡±
¡°Yes, sir,¡± If one listened to his words closely, they would have hear him gnashing his teeth.
¡°Do the soles of my feet, too,¡± Yin Shaojie said as he opened one eye.
The attendant stopped his movements and didn¡¯t continue.
Yin Shaojie opened his eyes and leaned his handsome face forward. Staring at him, he said, ¡°Continue. Why are you stopping? Your disguise is pretty good. It¡¯s a pity you can¡¯t fool me.¡±
The waiter finally dropped his act and pushed Yin Shaojie¡¯s legs away with a p.
He sat on the coffee table ostentatiously. Meeting Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes, heughed as he said confidently, ¡°Isn¡¯t it because I didn¡¯t have time to prepare? If I had, you wouldn¡¯t have been able to tell.¡±
Yin Shaojie leaned back and looked at him as he asked, ¡°Who are you?¡±
¡°Guess.¡± The other partyughed delightedly as he shook a finger at him. ¡°If you can¡¯t get it right you¡¯ll have to promise me something.¡±
Promise him something?
His words reminded him of Feng Tianqi.
However, he didn¡¯t think that Feng Tianqi was capable of something like this.
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes. His dark eyes stared at the other person¡¯s face as he examined it thoroughly, his intelligent brain processing what he was seeing.
¡°Someone who loves to y with disguises, and who¡¯s coincidentally in New York right now. You¡¯re-¡±
The other person smiled as he waited for his answer.
Suddenly Mu Xiaoxiao shrieked from the bathroom.

¡°Yin Shaojie!¡±
Yin Shaojie was shocked and he jumped up from the sofa. Running over to the bathroom door, he asked, ¡°Xiaoxiao, what¡¯s wrong?¡±
The loud sound of water from inside drowned out Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s voice so he couldn¡¯t hear what she was saying.
¡°Xiaoxiao? Are you okay?¡± he asked anxiously.
He saw the ¡°waiter¡± walk leisurely into the master bedroom from his peripheral vision.
Could it be that he was the one who engineered the ident in the bathroom as a distraction?
The water in the bathroom stopped quickly. Mu Xiaoxiao sounded a little battered as she spoke from inside, ¡°I¡¯m okay now!¡±
¡°What happened just now?¡± he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao said a little gloomily, ¡°I don¡¯t know what happened earlier but the water from both the tap and the showerhead started gushing out and it scared me.¡±
That was strange. Yin Shaojie frowned.
Just then, the stranger walked out from the master bedroom.
He walked up to Yin Shaojie. ¡°Where is the thing? Is it on you?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes widened.
He pointed at the person. ¡°Nimo! What are you doing here?¡±
¡°So you finally saw through my disguise. You¡¯re really pro, Jie.¡± The other partyughed. His tone had changed to one that waspletely different from before. His English ent was now lyrical, elegant, and pleasant to listen to.
Nimo leaned against the wall opposite the bathroom. He spread his hands out and said, ¡°I¡¯m not doing anything. I just made a bet with the other guys to see if I can steal that thing of yours. I heard that¡¡±
He gestured to the bathroom with his chin. ¡°I heard your wife was here and I was curious. What kind of woman can make you fall so head over heels for her?¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned slightly. Looking towards the bathroom, he pulled Nimo¡¯s cor and dragged him away.
When they were in the living room, he whispered, ¡°She doesn¡¯t know my other identity.¡±
Nimo crossed his arms as he looked at him. ¡°I think you just don¡¯t want me to meet her. Rx, I won¡¯t take any pictures. I just want to see her. Everyone¡¯s curious what your true love looks like.¡±
¡°You¡¯re all some!¡± Yin Shaojie rolled his eyes.
Unexpectedly, Nimo nodded and said, ¡°We are a little bored these days. It¡¯s okay even if you don¡¯t want to let her know about your other identity. You can just introduce me to her as a normal friend.¡±
¡°Haha, I¡¯ll pass on a guy like you.¡± Yin Shaojie turned his nose up at him.
Nimo was unhappy now. ¡°Hey! What do you mean? Are you looking for a fight? Come on! My hands are feeling itchy recently and I haven¡¯t done any moves for a while. Hurry up! Let¡¯s fight!¡±
¡°I can¡¯t be bothered with you! Hurry up and leave and don¡¯t let her see you.¡± Yin Shaojie pointed to the door, wanting him to get out.
¡°I¡¯m not leaving!¡±
Yin Shaojie was about to kick him. ¡°Are you leaving or not?¡±
Nimo got into a fighting stance. ¡°Come on, I¡¯ll leave after a round of fighting.
The two of them looked into each other¡¯s eyes, the tension between building.
Just then, the door to the bathroom opened and a petite figure emerged.
¡°Jie, what are you doing outside. I¡¯ve been calling you. Couldn¡¯t you hear?¡±
A coldness passed through Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes and he red daggers at Nimo. He mouthed silently, ¡°Go!¡±
Chapter 1132 - His Other Identity (4)

Nimo moved back while looking in the direction of the bathroom. Smiling a little slyly, he did an ¡°okay¡± sign and disappeared.
Yin Shaojie breathed a sigh of relief as Nimo left.
He looked at Mu Xiaoxiao, who was walking over, and exined, ¡°What did you call me for? I was taking a call, so I didn¡¯t hear you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao realized there were things on the coffee table. ¡°Eh? Did you call for food?¡±
¡°Yeah. How did you get your hair wet?¡± Yin Shaojie walked over. He brought her over to the sofa to sit.
She was wearing a bathrobe and her hair was wet.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and said gloomily, ¡°Is this really a five-star hotel? Why is it so bad? The water was spraying everywhere. I¡¯m so angry.¡±
Yin Shaojie took a towel and helped her dry her hair. ¡°Dry your hair first or you¡¯ll get sick.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao let him dry her hair while she sat down. Picking up a piece of fruit from the sd, she started eating.
¡°Are you hungry?¡± he asked.
¡°Yeah.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, her eyes sparkling. ¡°I want to eat sushi!¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned uprehendingly. ¡°Sushi? Why do you want to have sushi suddenly?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled. ¡°I saw a sushi shop on the ground floor earlier when we came. It looked good.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t you want to sleep anymore?¡± he teased.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°I¡¯ve slept enough for now. I¡¯m feeling hungry now.¡±
She had wanted to take a shower to freshen up, but the showerhead had spoiled her ns.
However, she did feel more awake now.
¡°Oh yeah, were you talking to someone on the phone just now? Why did I seem to hear you talking to someone else?¡± Xiaoxiao remembered hearing two different voices.
¡°It was the waiter who delivered the food,¡± Yin Shaojie answered naturally.
¡°Oh.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao believed him without suspicion.
After Yin Shaojie dried her hair, Mu Xiaoxiao went to change her clothes. Afterwards the two of them went down to eat sushi.
When they arrived at the door of the sushi ce, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered something. ¡°Oh yeah, did my phone ring while I was in the car?¡±
¡°Yeah. William called and I answered for you.¡±
¡°What did he say?¡±
Yin Shaojie thought about how to tell her.
The pair went into the sushi ce and a waiter brought them to their seats.
¡°Order first. I¡¯ll tell youter,¡± he said.
Mu Xiaoxiao picked up the menu and looked at the dishes listed.
The menu contained pictures of all the menu items. The dishes looked very abundant, which piqued Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s gluttonous side.
¡°Everything looks so delicious here. I want this, and this, and¡¡±
She unknowingly ordered a lot of dishes.
Beside her, Yin Shaojie looked amused. ¡°Hey, why are you still ordering? Can you finish all of it?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao held the menu vertically as she grinned. ¡°Even if I can¡¯t finish it, you¡¯re here! I¡¯ll sample everything and the rest will be yours!¡±
¡°Are you taking me for a trash can?¡± Yin Shaojie asked, smiling.
¡°Rx, even if you¡¯re a trash can, you¡¯re still a handsome trash can,¡± Mu Xiaoxiaoforted him kindly.
One of the customers spit out their water, upon hearing her.
¡°Excuse me,¡± said a handsome foreign boy sitting near Mu Xiaoxiao.

Mu Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly before switching to Mandarin and saying to Yin Shaojie, ¡°I think we should talk in Mandarin. Anyone listening in on us will think we¡¯re weird.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had been speaking in English ever since they arrived in America. Thankfully, Yin Shaojie was perfectly fluent in English so there were no problemsmunicating.
Yin Shaojie turned around and saw Nimo raising a ss in toast, a wide grin on his face.
Yin Shaojie threw a nce at him before turning around to Mu Xiaoxiao and saying, ¡°Ignore him.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and thought he was being jealous. ¡°Okay, okay, okay, I¡¯ll ignore him even if he¡¯s pretty handsome. Seeing him from here warms my heart and delights my eyes.¡±
¡°Does the sight of me not warm your heart and delight your eyes?¡± Yin Shaojie frowned, gesturing for her to only look at him.
Mu Xiaoxiao teased deliberately, ¡°Aiyoh, I¡¯ll get bored if I see the same thing over and over. It¡¯s not a bad thing to look at other handsome boys once in a while.¡±
¡°Tired?¡± Yin Shaojie smirked as he crossed his fingers in front of him. He looked away and his gaze fell on a blonde beauty that had just stepped in. He smiled a little romantically as he said, ¡°That¡¯s right, it gets tiring after a while. Looking at other girls for eye candy isn¡¯t a bad idea.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked over. The blonde woman was wearing a revealing, low v-neck dress. She was well endowed and judging from the staringing from many of the men in the restaurant, she had caught many people¡¯s attention.
Her jealousy rose at once and she waved a hand in front of his face, blocking his vision. ¡°Hey! Why are you still looking! Stop looking!¡±
She was only kidding earlier. Couldn¡¯t he tell?
That b*stard!
As expected, men were perverts!
Yin Shaojie smiled and even reached out to push her hand away. ¡°Why shouldn¡¯t I look? Like you said, it warms my heart and delights my eyes. See for yourself. Western girls are just so different. Their skin is so white and their behind¡¡±
This guy was too much. He was even describing her! Mu Xiaoxiao was angry as she grabbed her napkin and threw it in his direction. ¡°I said stop looking! Why are you still looking! Yin Shaojie!¡±
It was only then that Yin Shaojie turned his gaze back. In a patronizing tone, he said, ¡°Okay, okay, okay, I¡¯ll stop looking. I was only teasing you. How can that girl be prettier than you?¡±
However, he looked over at the girl again as he said this.
¡°Yin Shaojie!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and almost mmed the table.
Yin Shaojie finally dropped his act. Smiling, he held her little hand andforted her. ¡°Okay, I¡¯m not going to look anymore. There¡¯s nothing to see anyway.¡±
¡°I saw your eyes looking dumbstruck just now. What do you mean by ¡®nothing to see¡¯?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao crossed her arms. Her tone was sour and her jealousy was so evident that he could smell it in the air.
Yin Shaojie spread her fingers out and inteced his fingers with hers.
¡°I just like to tease you. Can¡¯t you tell?¡± He thought she looked serious so he exined his reasoning hastily.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s tone softened. ¡°Who told you to make me angry on purpose?¡±
¡°Wasn¡¯t it you who started it?¡± Yin Shaojie said amusedly.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted as she said, ¡°I was only¡ joking. Couldn¡¯t you tell?¡±
¡°You said that so seriously earlier, though. Also,¡± Yin Shaojie looked behind him and pointed to Nimo and said, ¡°Don¡¯t think I didn¡¯t notice you looking past me every now and then. Who are you looking at if not him?¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao coughed a little awkwardly.
She couldn¡¯t just say that the foreign boy was handsome, right? He was also a special kind of handsome, something Xiaoxiao rarely saw.
Even though she had stayed in America for four years, she rarely saw handsome boys who were that handsome, and she thus she couldn¡¯t help but take a couple more nces at him.
Also, another reason was because the handsome boy kept staring at her. How was she supposed to be unaffected?
Yin Shaojie saw that she was ncing at him again. He frowned and rose. ¡°I¡¯ll switch ces with you.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was very obedient and knew that doing what he said was for the best.
Just then, Yin Shaojie¡¯s phone rang unexpectedly.
He looked down at the caller ID and his expression froze. Lowering his head, he said to her, ¡°I have to take this.¡±
He then walked over to the side of the restaurant with his phone.
¡°Why does he have to go somewhere else to take the call? Can¡¯t he take it in front of me? Who¡¯s calling anyway?¡±
A dark silhouette walked to her side and sat on the seat opposite hers as Mu Xiaoxiao muttered.
¡°Hello! Might I have the honor of getting to know you, enchantingdy?¡± Nimo smiled and rearranged his cor. He looked dapper and dashing.
Mu Xiaoxiao was long used to being hit on by Western men and was thus unmoved. She smiled as she said, ¡°What if I say no?¡±
She wasn¡¯t surprised by Nimoing to speak with her. He had been giving her very intense gazes the entire time. He looked to be very interested in her.
Nimo seemed surprised by her answer. sping a hand to his chest, he said, ¡°I¡¯ve been rejected. This is too sad. I think I¡¯ll never forget your answer for my entire life.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was immune to such exaggerated expressions and thus didn¡¯t believe his words.
¡°I think it¡¯s pretty good to be an unforgettable part of your memory.¡±
Nimoughed a little slyly as he looked at her and said, ¡°I, too, would like to be an unforgettable part of your memory. What do you think I should do?¡±
¡°What has that got to do with me?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged. She looked towards where Yin Shaojie was and thought about calling out to him.
¡°Are you rejecting me?¡± Nimo cocked an eyebrow as he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled a smile that didn¡¯t reach her eyes. ¡°I¡¯m d you can tell. Sorry, but I already have a boyfriend.¡±
¡°You aren¡¯t married yet. Even if you already have a boyfriend, I can stillpete with him, right? So long as you give me a chance, that is.¡± Nimo¡¯s gaze was mesmerizing.
If she were a normal girl she would have found it difficult to resist his gaze. Nimo was proficient in psychology and he was great at disguises. Not only that, he also had the powerful ability of hypnosis.
Thus, whenever he wanted to seduce a woman, his gaze took on a mesmerizing quality that no one could resist.
Nimo was very confident.
However, he realized that Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t look into his eyes as though she were indifferent to his existence.
He didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry as he said, ¡°Can¡¯t you look at me even once?¡±
How was he supposed to hypnotize her if she didn¡¯t look at him?
¡°You should hurry up and leave. If my boyfriendes back and finds you here, he¡¯ll beat you up for certain. I won¡¯t be able to stop him.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, still averting her eyes.

¡°Alright.¡± Nimo nodded. He really stood up just as she instructed and adjusted his cor.
Then he walked over beside her and bent over, revealing a gun hidden in his jacket. It was pointed at her.
¡°Now, you should be willing toe with me, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a chill. She nervously looked around for Yin Shaojie, but he was no longer where he was earlier.
What was he doing? Where did he go?
Why did he have to go missing now!
Mu Xiaoxiao thought it was incredulous. Wasn¡¯t this all too coincidental?
Could it be that someone had nned this?
Mu Xiaoxiao guardedly watched the handsome guy before her.
She had no choice but to stand up slowly.
¡°Walk.¡± Nimo motioned to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, anxiously looking around for Yin Shaojie, but she just couldn¡¯t find him anywhere.
If she were to really go along with this person, Yin Shaojie would definitely be worried to death.
What should she do?
However, Nimo had a gun, so she had to go with him.
Nimo walked up to her side and reached out to grab her waist. The muzzle was still pointed at her from inside his jacket.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t dare to act rashly. She was afraid to die. Life was so beautiful. She didn¡¯t want to die!
¡°Walk,¡± Nimo ordered her again.
The muzzle poked her, and Mu Xiaoxiao could only obey him, walking toward the exit.
A taxi was parked outside. Nimo called for the taxi and he walked Mu Xiaoxiao over to it.
¡°Get in the car,¡± he said.
This time, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t move. She looked back anxiously, hoping that Yin Shaojie would appear to save her.
If she were to get in the car there was no telling what would happen so she refused to get in the car.
Nimo looked at her with great interest as if he were eager to see how she would respond.
¡°I told you to get in the car. Did you hear me? Do you want to find out if this gun is real?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly, nodding as she said, ¡°I don¡¯t doubt that your gun is real.¡±
In America real guns were moremon than fake guns!
Watching her, Nimo grinned, ¡°Are you trying to stall for time? You¡¯re pretty smart, aren¡¯t you? It¡¯s a pity you only have little tricks.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was peeved upon hearing that. ¡°Hey! Kidnap me if you want, but who said you could belittle me? You are pointing a gun at me. What can I do about it? You don¡¯t think I¡¯m still going to save myself, do you? Are you crazy!¡±
Nimo was speechless.
This was the first time he had ever seen a kidnap victim resist so fiercely.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao!¡± A shout was heard from behind.
Hearing Mandarin, she thought that Yin Shaojie wasing to rescue her. However, it was Feng Tianqi, not Yin Shaojie, who rushed over, looking furious. He was ring at Nimo¡¯s hand on her wrist.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, I never thought you¡¯d be like this!¡± Feng Tianqi pointed to her nose as he shouted, suddenly he was speaking English.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. ¡°Why are you here?¡±
Chapter 1136 - His Other Identity (8)
Chapter 1136: His Other Identity (8)

Didn¡¯t they part ways at the airport?
Feng Tianqi pointed at the hotel, and he said an unfriendly manner, ¡°I¡¯m staying here. Is there a problem with that? Where is Yin Shaojie? Aren¡¯t you too brazen? You just arrived in America and you are already acting lovey-dovey with some other guy behind Yin Shaojie¡¯s back. Mu Xiaoxiao, I really misjudged you!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao then realized that he misunderstood the situation.
She was unsure whether tough or cry. She was being wrongly used!
With a sudden bright idea, Mu Xiaoxiao pretended to quarrel with him and pushed his hand, ¡°You¡ It¡¯s none of your business! Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know you¡¯re following me on purpose! Otherwise, how could you happen to be staying at the same hotel as me?¡±
¡°Following you? Aren¡¯t you a narcissist! If it wasn¡¯t for my brother fancying you, I wouldn¡¯t want to even look at you! Yes, I should let my brother see your true colors!¡± Feng Tianqi said as he pulled out his cell phone and took pictures of her.
¡°Why are you taking pictures! Stop it!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pretended to be furious. She walked up two steps, waving her hand as she blocked the camera.
¡°Are you two done acting?¡± Nimo said behind them.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Feng Tianqi were both startled.
¡°The teamwork is good, but unfortunately the performance is lousy,¡± Nimo said.
Feng Tianqi suddenly pounced forward and grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°Run!¡±
¡°I can¡¯t run! He has a gun!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and said, stopping Feng Tianqi.
Just then, the taxi driver drove off in fright, distracting Nimo for a split second.
Feng Tianqi turned to Nimo and gave him a roundhouse kick.
Nimo¡¯s eyes narrowed, smirking excitedly as he stepped back. After securing his gun, he started fighting with Feng Tianqi.
The two fought fiercely, back and forth in the open space.
When passers-by saw them they watched curiously. Even foreigners couldn¡¯t help being nosy, especially when two handsome guys were fighting over a pretty girl. Moreover, it was even more intriguing since Mu Xiaoxiao and Feng Tianqi were Asians.
¡°They¡¯re not filming, are they?¡± asked a passer-by.
Nimo threw a very strong kick.
Feng Tianqi blocked it with his arms and he staggered a few steps back.
Feng Tianqi loved to fight since childhood and it had been a while since he fought such a formidable opponent.
And¡ he had a feeling that the other party wasn¡¯t taking the fight seriously.
Feng Tianqi was infuriated. What was the meaning of this? Was he ying with him? Dammit!
Meanwhile, Mu Xiaoxiao was very anxious.
Initially, she was thinking about whether she should head back in to look for Yin Shaojie.l, but upon seeing Feng Tianqi at a disadvantage she was afraid to go. She was afraid that Feng Tianqi would get in trouble because of her.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao! Are you dumb? Run!¡± Feng Tianqi turned back and howled at her.
¡°I can¡¯t just leave you here!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said.
Feng Tianqi rolled his eyes at her and said to her furiously, ¡°This isn¡¯t the time to be considerate! You staying here will only affect me. Go quickly. I¡¯ll hold him here! Quickly!¡±
Nimo was about to throw a kick when he suddenly stopped. He broke out inughter, looking at them as he said, ¡°How touching.¡±

Although Nimo had stopped attaching, Feng Tianqil didn¡¯t let his guard down as he watched him.
Just then, a patrolling police man came over, pushing through the crowd. ¡°What¡¯s happening here?¡±
Feng Tianqi immediately raised his hands and pointed to Nimo, ¡°Police! This person just tried to kidnap my friend!¡±
However, Nimo was not panicked at all, smiling as if nothing were wrong.
The policemen came over in a grave manner and looked at the three of them.
Feng Tianqi reached out and pulled Mu Xiaoxiao behind him, as though he was her protector.
Nimo continued to look at him with his amused smile.
For some reason, Feng Tianqi suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness.
He pointed to Nimo and said again, ¡°He has a gun! I just saw him use it to threaten my friend! Search him!¡±
Hearing that, the policeman looked at Nimo and said, ¡°Sir, I¡¯m going to search you. I hope you will cooperate.¡±
Nimo raised his hands and let the policeman search him.
The policeman did a quick search but they found nothing. Then he looked at Feng Tianqi as if he were suspicious of what Feng Tianqi had just said.
¡°How is it possible?¡± Feng Tianqi couldn¡¯t believe it. He had clearly seen a gun hidden in Mimi¡¯s jacket.
He turned back and asked Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Did he point a gun at you just now?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and was astonished. She also saw him securing his gun. Why couldn¡¯t they find it?
Although the police were here, for some reason Mu Xiaoxiao still felt uneasy. She had a vague feeling that Nimo wasn¡¯t someone the police could subdue, especially after witnessing his skills. Though Feng Tianqi seemed formidable, he still couldn¡¯t beat him.
She stressed to the policeman, ¡°He really has a gun. Please search him again. He definitely hid it.¡±
Hearing what the two said, the policeman searched him again.
But still nothing.
Feng Tianqi and Mu Xiaoxiao exchanged startled nces.
This person was clearly hiding a gun, but why couldn¡¯t the policeman find it? Where did he hide it?
Nimo raised his hand,ughing innocently and telling the policeman, ¡°I was just ying with them. Perhaps my behavior scared thisdy, but I really did not have any ill intent.¡±
¡°Sir, I¡¯m going to have to ask you to stop harassing thisdy.¡± the policeman said.
Seeing that the police couldn¡¯t do anything about Nimo, Feng Tianqi was ready to take Mu Xiaoxiao and walk away. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±
My Xiaoxiao stopped him and said, ¡°No, Yin Shaojie is still in the restaurant. I want to go back.¡±
¡°Why are you going back? The bad guy is still here. Aren¡¯t you afraid that he will kidnap you?¡±
Feng Tianqi thought that was either unafraid of death or a fool.
Shouldn¡¯t they be leaving the scene as quickly as possible?
¡°I¡¯m not a bad person!¡± shouted Nimo.
Both Feng Tianqi and Mu Xiaoxiao turned to look at him, their expressions saying, ¡°Do you think we¡¯ll believe you just because you said that?¡¯
How could someone who tried to kidnap her not be a bad person?

The policeman was about to leave, but he hesitated, looking at Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°Ma¡¯am, if you are worried that he will continue to harass you, I¡¯ll take him back to the police station to question him.¡±
Hearing that, Nimo frowned and said unhappily, ¡°I don¡¯t like going to the police station.¡±
His expression darkened as he thought about how to get rid of this policemen.
¡°Sir, you¡¯d better take him away and keep him locked up for a few days. I really don¡¯t want to see him,¡± said someone from behind them.
As soon as Mu Xiaoxiao heard the voice she turned around excitedly and called out, ¡°Jie!¡±
She freed herself from Feng Tianqi and ran to Yin Shaojie. She threw a little fist onto his chest and grumbled. ¡°Where have you been? I was almost kidnapped, you know that?¡±
Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t usually so careless.
¡°You fell for the trick of ¡®luring the tiger off its mountainir.¡¯¡± Yin Shaojie cast a nce at Nimo, his big hand grasping her little hand as he exined in resignation. ¡°He¡¯s not a bad person. He¡¯s a friend of mine.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised. ¡°What? He¡¯s your friend?!¡±
Feng Tianqi was also quite dumbfounded.
Nimo walked over and suddenly reached his arm out over Feng Tianqi¡¯s shoulders in a friendly gesture as he said, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you already? I was just ying with you.¡±
Feng Tianqi jerked his shoulder to get Nimo¡¯s hand off him, annoyed.
¡°Get lost! Who said you could my lean on my shoulder? Do I know you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Yin Shaojie, puzzled, and she asked, ¡°Is he really your friend?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Yin Shaojie nodded. Then he exined to the policeman and told him that everything was fine.
The policeman then left.
¡°Let¡¯s go in and talk.¡± Yin Shaojie said. The four entered the restaurant together.
Mu Xiaoxiao still had her guard up around Nimo. She said with discontent, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say he was your friend beforehand? He pointed a gun at me out of nowhere, wanting to kidnap me. What the heck was he trying to do?¡±
¡°That¡¯s the way he is. He¡¯s just ying with you. He won¡¯t hurt you,¡± Yin Shaojie exined briefly without saying too much.
But indeed, Nimo wouldn¡¯t hurt Xiaoxiao.
Earlier, it was because Nimo was around that Yin Shaojie felt free to walk away. However, he hadn¡¯t expected Nimo to be so dramatic.
After sitting down, Feng Tianqi couldn¡¯t help but ask Nimo, ¡°I clearly saw you hide your gun earlier, so why didn¡¯t the policeman find it?¡±
Nimo¡¯s smile was enigmatic. ¡°If I don¡¯t want him to find it, he won¡¯t find it.¡±
It was Nimo¡¯s property. How could he let any policeman take it?
Feng Tianqi wasn¡¯t satisfied with his answer. He pointed at him and said, ¡°You moved the gun somece else, right? How could he not have found it otherwise?¡±
¡°Some other ce? What ce? Here?¡± Nimo said to him, suddenly reaching his hand out toward him. As if by magic, he reached behind Feng Tianqi¡¯s neck and pulled out his gun.
Feng Tianqi and Mu Xiaoxiao were both shocked.
Yin Shaojie watched, amused. He had seen Nimo perform the trick many times.
¡°What the heck are you¡ Are you a magician?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
Nimoughed, ¡°Magician? You could say that.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nudged Yin Shaojie with her elbow, ¡°Hey, is he for real? Is your friend a magician?¡±

Yin Shaojie certainly couldn¡¯t reveal Nimo¡¯s true identity so he brushed her off, saying, ¡°Yeah you could say that.¡±
Feng Tianqi didn¡¯t quite believe it, staring suspiciously at Nimo. ¡°Magician? I don¡¯t think so? You don¡¯t look like one.¡±
Nimoughed care-freely. ¡°So what do you think I look like, then?¡± Nimo said in a deeper voice, his handsome, well-defined face leaning in.
Feng Tianqi frowned, thinking that he was weird as he leaned back a little. ¡°How would I know! You¡¯re very strange. Why are you leaning so close?¡±
Just then, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s food was served. She had ordered a lot of food earlier but now that there were four people it was the perfect amount.
Mu Xiaoxiao said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°You haven¡¯t introduced your friend yet.¡±
Yin Shaojie was speechless.
He deliberately skipped introducing Nimo because he didn¡¯t want to introduce him. He didn¡¯t expect her to bring it up.
¡°He is just an ordinary friend that I just happened to bump into. You don¡¯t have to be concerned about him.¡± Yin Shaojie said thest sentence in Mandarin.
Although Nimo couldn¡¯t understand it, he still raised his brow and said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°Can you speak English? Please be considerate of your foreign friends.¡±
Yin Shaojie teased him. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯ve been studying Chinese? How much have you learned?¡±
¡°Mandarin is too hard to learn!¡± Nimo shook his head.
Despite Nimo¡¯s extraordinary talent fornguages he still sucked at Chinese. It was embarrassing to even talk about it.
¡°I heard people say that Chinese is the hardestnguage to learn in the world but I didn¡¯t believe them. It seems I have underestimated Chinese,¡± Nimomented.
Yin Shaojieughed at him. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you could learn it in a month?¡±
Nimo raised his hand in surrender. ¡°I take that back. Even if you gave me a hundred years I wouldn¡¯t be able to learn it!¡±
Feng Tianqi took the opportunity to interrupt, mocking him. ¡°If you can¡¯t learn it in a hundred years does that make you a retard?¡±
¡°My IQ is higher than 180. What about you?¡± Nimo turned to look at him.
Feng Tianqi scoffed, ¡°What¡¯s so great about 180? Mine is definitely higher than yours!¡±
¡°Why don¡¯t you take the test? I¡¯m pretty curious.¡± Nimo goaded him.
An IQ of 180 was considered super high IQ. Only a few people in the world had such a high IQ.
¡°Do I know you very well? Why do I need to satisfy your curiosity?¡±
Feng Tianqi rolled his eyes at him and didn¡¯t ept his challenge.
He knew at least how rare an IQ of 180 was. If he fell short it would be very embarrassing.
Listening to their conversation, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly became curious. She nudged Yin Shaojie, leaned close to him, and asked, ¡°Have you tested your IQ? How much is yours?¡±
Yin Shaojieughed enigmatically. Casting a nce at Nimo, he reached out and pulled her toward him before whispering in her ear, ¡°It¡¯s a little bit higher than his. Don¡¯t say it out loud, though. My friend is very petty. He¡¯s always trying to beat me.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was happy to hear this. ¡°Really? So your IQ is that high. Why didn¡¯t I know about it?¡±
¡°There¡¯s lots of things that you don¡¯t know about! You have to get to know me more, okay?¡± Yin Shaojie smiled and tapped her nose.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted, ¡°Really? You still have a lot of things I don¡¯t know about? How many? You have to tell me!¡±

After all, they had been separated for four long years.
People constantly changed. It wasn¡¯t possible for things to stay the same forever.
Mu Xiaoxiao was d that even after four years their rtionship was still going strong.
Yin Shaojieughed, ¡°Of course I can¡¯t be the one to tell you. You have to find out.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao snorted, ncing at Nimo as she said unhappily, ¡°How did youe to know Nimo? You say that he is an ordinary friend, but you¡¯re pretty close with him. You are very close friends, right? He doesn¡¯t understand Chinese, so you two didn¡¯t meet in China, right?¡±
He never expected her to be so sharp. Yin Shaojie was surprised.
He coughed, pretending to be nonchnt as he said, ¡°We¡¯re not that close. Isn¡¯t that how all foreigners interact with each other? They act as if they are very close friends when they have only just met. They¡¯re quite easy-going when ites to making friends, unlike us Chinese who are more particr about it.¡±
¡°Are they?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t seem like she believed it.
After spending four years in America, she had grown familiar with the ways Americans treated each other.
¡°Well, let¡¯s eat first, alright? Aren¡¯t you hungry?¡± Yin Shaojie patted her head and told her not to dwell so much on that thought. If she kept asking he had the feeling that she would get more suspicious.
Although he was very good at hiding things, he didn¡¯t like to lie to her. Furthermore, the more lies he had toe up with, the harder it would be to interact with her. It was a feeling that he didn¡¯t like.
Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t someone who would give up so easily. While she was eating, she turned to ask Nimo, ¡°Nimo, how long have you known Jie?¡±
Nimo¡¯s eyes were amused. He looked to Yin Shaojie and said to her, ¡°How long have I known him¡ It¡¯s been quite a while. Do you wanna know how Jie and I met?¡±
¡°Yeah, yeah!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded like a little chick pecking rice.
Yin Shaojie gave Nimo a look of warning.
Although he knew that Nimo wasn¡¯t the kind of person who would do things that were improper, it was strange of him to cause amotion like earlier.
Nimo met his gaze, pretending to be obtuse. He thought for a moment before saying to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Let me think. I met him¡ I think it was at a casino in Las Vegas. How did we meet¡ It was very exciting andplicated. Do you really want to hear about it?¡±
She nodded quickly. ¡°Yes! Tell me!¡±
¡°Hey!¡± Seeing that things weren¡¯t going the right way, Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help but warn Nimo.
¡°You¡¯re afraid of her knowing? What¡¯s there to be afraid of?¡± Nimoughed mischievously.
Yin Shaojie said helplessly, ¡°Can you stop it?¡±
Nimo seemed like he was going to tell Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted, staring at Yin Shaojie. In a quick-witted manner, she said, ¡°You seem like you don¡¯t want me to know. Why is that? Did you do something unspeakable? He said that you two have known each other for a long time. How old were you a few years ago? And you actually went to the casino? Who took you there?¡±

Yin Shaojieughed and rolled his eyes at Nimo, saying, ¡°What unspeakable things? I only went to the casino with some friends and just happened to run into you. Now that I think about it, it¡¯s a really ill-fated rtionship.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was intrigued by what he said. ¡°Then tell me quickly how you two met. I really wanna know!¡±
Yin Shaojie pushed her nose, deliberately changing the subject, saying, ¡°Did you forget our reason foring to America? Hurry up and eat. We don¡¯t have much time left.¡±
¡°What do you mean we don¡¯t have much time?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
Annoyed, Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Have you forgotten? When William called earlier, he said something very important. If we don¡¯t hurry up our trip here will be wasted. ¡±
¡°What important thing?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked before remembering Ye Sijue and Mo Xiaomeng. ¡°Oh, right!¡±
Her friend was her priority. In any case, she could just find some other time to interrogate Yin Shaojie.
¡°Hurry up and eat. Once you¡¯re done, I¡¯ll tell you when we go back to the room,¡± said Him Shaojie.
¡°Okay!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. Hearing that, she began to eat quickly.
Feng Tianqi wanted to ask them what they were up to but he decided against it.
Nimo gave Yin Shaojie a furtive thumbs up.
Impressive. His cover was about to be blown wide open, but he still managed to stop it.
Mu Xiaoxiao was worried about Xiaomeng, so she ate very quickly. After a few minutes she said that she was full.
Yin Shaojie raised his hand, signalling to the waiter that they were ready for the bill.
Nimo chuckled and said, ¡°Let me treat. At least let me be a good host.¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded and did not bother with exchanging courtesies. ¡°Thank you. There¡¯s something we have to attend to. See.you¡±
There was no time to rebuke Nimo for scaring Xiaoxiao. He would deal with him next time.
However, Nimo was not one to give up so easily.
Nimo called for the bill and said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°Are you guys going somewhereter? Do you need my help?¡±
¡°No need. This matter is regarding another friend,¡± Yin Shaojie said, giving him a look. Then he got up with Mu Xiaoxiao to leave.
Yin Shaojie paused for a moment. He looked to Feng Tianqi and warned him, ¡°Be careful of him.¡±
¡°What do you mean by that?¡± Feng Tianqi didn¡¯t understand him.
Nimo was using his card to pay the bill with the waiter.
Yin Shaojie said in a low voice, ¡°He is bi.¡±
With that said, he took Mu Xiaoxiao and left.
Bi?
Who was he referring to?
Feng Tianqi was stunned for a moment before catching on. He looked at Nimo sitting next to him, who had just finished paying the bill, and turned back. Nimo smiled at him and asked, ¡°What about you? Where are you going? Should I give you a lift?¡±
Feng Tianqi shuddered. He immediately realized why he had felt that sense of uneasiness earlier.
¡°No need!¡± he said quickly. He bolted out of the restaurant as if he were afraid of catching some terrible virus.
Nimo smiled as he watched Feng Tianqi leave.

Meanwhile, in the castle.
The doctor examined Ye Sijue and checked his body temperature. His fever was up to 41 degrees Celsius. The fever remained even after injecting with an antipyretic.
Annie was worried to death. She was afraid Ye Sijue would burn up so she was almost never more than an inch away from him as hey in bed.
The doctor tried his best and the fever subsided a little, but it was anyone guess as to when it would go away.
¡°If this keeps up, it¡¯ll be very dangerous¡¡± the doctor was troubled as he spoke.
¡°What should we do? Is there no other way?¡± Annie asked worriedly.
¡°We have already tried everything we can. The only thing we can do now is wait. Please do not disturb him while he rests. Fevers can be exacerbated by things such as mood and stress,¡± the doctor said.
Hearing that, Annie¡¯s expression was stunned.
Stress? Mood?
Could it be because she was getting engaged¡
Annie sat at the side of the bed, holding Ye Sijue¡¯s hand tightly. She ced the back of his hand against her face and she could clearly feel the heat emanating from his body.
She whimpered and asked the doctor, ¡°So? What should we do now? Didn¡¯t you say that it is dangerous for his fever to continue like this? Is it very dangerous? What¡¯s the danger?¡±
¡°Well¡¡± Seeing the way she was acting, the doctor knew he shouldn¡¯t just tell her the truth.
Chris stepped forward, putting his hand on her shoulder to calm her down.
¡°Annie, don¡¯t worry. The doctor will do his best to treat him. It¡¯s just a fever. He¡¯ll be fine.¡±
The doctor kept silent.
Anyone withmon sense would know that a serious high fever could be life-threatening, especially ones above 41 degrees. A high fever was fatal.
Chris bent over and tried to hold Annie¡¯s hand, as he said softly, ¡°I had them prepare a hot soup. It¡¯ll keep him warm. You also fell into the water so you should be careful too. It would be bad if you got sick too. Come on, go drink some hot soup.¡±
Annie avoided his hand and shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t want to drink it. I¡¯m really fine.¡±
She didn¡¯t want to go anywhere if it meant leaving Ye Sijue.
Just then, a maid brought a fresh towel for Ye Sijue.
Annie reached out her hand and said, ¡°Let me do it.¡±
The maid gave her the towel.
Annie went up to him. With the towel, she wiped the cold sweat on Ye Sijue¡¯s face.
Her eyes followed her hand from his dashing eyebrows, to his tall nose, and then to his thin, sexy lips. She could feel new tears rising as looked down at him.
Even though she had known Ye Sijue for so long, she hadn¡¯t scrutinized his facial features so carefully before.
When Annie wiped his mouth, she couldn¡¯t help but remember how he had kissed her when they were in China.

His cold expression toward her gradually softened and now when he looked at her, Annie could feel the warmth from his gaze.
Wait, wait. Snap out of it!
Annie stared nkly. When her finger touched his lips, she noticed that his lips opened and closed as if he were saying something.
¡°Ye Sijue, what are you trying to say?¡± She lowered her head to listen.
However, she heard nothing.
He seemed to be only moving his mouth without making any sounds.
However, she had the feeling that he had something to say.
The scene of him saying something to her shed in her mind.
He said, ¡°Do you me me for not having said those words to you?¡±
Those words¡
Annie pursed her lips and dried her tears.
She reached out and touched Ye Sijue¡¯s cheek, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t you have something to say to me? Ye Sijue, can you wake up? I want to hear from you say those words. I want to hear them now. Stop sleeping, okay?¡±
Chris¡¯s expression was heavy. He turned to the doctor and gestured to him.
The doctor thought for a moment. Then he pretended to have a sudden realization, saying, ¡°There is one more way to cool him down. Go and prepare alcohol, the more the better.¡±
After giving instructions to the helpers, the doctor walked over to Annie and said to her, ¡°Miss Annie, you may need to leave for a while.¡±
¡°Why?¡± Annie looked up..
¡°Well¡ I have to wipe the patient¡¯s body with alcohol, so I have to strip his clothes. Miss, it¡¯s not very convenient if you stay here¡¡±
¡°I¡¡± Annie was going to say that she didn¡¯t mind it, but her etiquette training stopped her.
Chris coaxed her, ¡°Be good. Let the doctor treat him. If you¡¯re here, it will only hinder the doctor. Don¡¯t you want him to get better soon? If his fever continues he might get pneumonia. It¡¯ll be very serious.¡±
Even if Annie was reluctant, she had no choice but to leave upon hearing him say that.
¡°Come on. You can go and drink hot soup. He wouldn¡¯t want to see you sick when he wakes up.¡± Chris held her shoulder and led her out.
Annie turned back to look repeatedly. Even with her hesitation, she still ended up leaving the room with Chris.
She went downstairs and the door closed behind her.
Chris held her as they entered the dining room downstairs. He pulled out a chair for to her to sit in. Then he gestured to the helper to serve her the hot soup.
Annie had no appetite at all. She shook her head and said, ¡°I really don¡¯t want to drink it.¡±
Ye Sijue was still unconscious. She was worried to death. How could she eat at a time like this?
¡°Drink a little. Drink with me, alright?¡± Chris¡¯s voice was gentle but he was unyielding as though he wouldn¡¯t ept rejection. He raised his hand and gestured to the helper to serve it.
Annie looked down at the bowl. The soup was steaming and looked very warm.
¡°Annie,e on. Do you want me to feed you?¡± Chris said, his eyes fixed on her, as though he would really do it if she didn¡¯t obey him.
Annie knew his personality. Chris was gentle but he also had amanding side of him.
She hesitated for two seconds before picking up the bowl and drinking from it slowly.
Watching her finish the soup, Chris was finally satisfied.

¡°Good girl,¡± he said.
Annie looked upstairs, her eyes obviously filled with worry as she asked, ¡°Can I go up now?¡±
¡°No.¡± Chris sat in a dignified manner, picked up the bowl, and gracefully drank the soup.
¡°Why?¡± Annie frowned.
Chris looked at her and said, ¡°You have to go back to the room and rest. I¡¯ll get people to take good care of him. After all, he is your friend and a guest. I can¡¯t let anything happen to him.¡±
Annie still felt very worried. She wanted to take care of Ye Sijue personally.
If she couldn¡¯t see him, she would feel anxious.
¡°But I¡¡±
She was about to say something when Chris interrupted her, ¡°No ¡®buts,¡¯ Annie. Be good and listen to me.¡±
But Annie shook her head and said stubbornly, ¡°No, I want to go up and see him.¡±
With that said, she pushed the chair out and went upstairs.
But when she reached the door to the room and tried to open the door, the door was locked.
¡°Open the door!¡± She hit the door anxiously.
But no one replied to her as if no one were inside.
¡°Open the door! Open the door!¡± Annie was getting even more anxious, hitting the door forecfully. Bang! Bang! Bang!
¡°Annie!¡± came Chris¡¯s voice from downstairs.
Chris grabbed her hand. He frowned and looked at her reproachfully. ¡°Why are you hitting the door so hard? Look at your hands, they¡¯re red! No more hitting the door. Come back to the room with me. You need to rest.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t need to rest.¡± Annie wanted to withdraw her hand from him but he was grasping it tightly.
Chris softened his voice as he said, ¡°I don¡¯t want you to be sick, do you understand?¡±
¡°I won¡¯t be sick. I told you, I¡¯m fine,¡± Annie exined. Though she had fallen into the water, she had always been very healthy. She waspletely fine. Why was he so sure that she would get sick?
¡°I didn¡¯t say that you will get sick. I¡¯m just worried that you might get sick. You¡¯ve been afraid of being sick your whole life.¡± Chris tried appealing to her emotions.
She always wondered if she was going to be sick after a single sneeze.
Annie took his hand, acting like a child as she persuaded him, ¡°Chris, believe me, okay? I really won¡¯t get sick. Let me in to see him, alright? I¡¯m really worried about him.¡±
Ye Sijue must really need her by his side.
So she didn¡¯t want to leave him.
¡°It¡¯s only a fever. It¡¯s not a serious illness. And with so many helpers here, he will be well taken care of. What¡¯s there to be worried about? You should go and rest first. I¡¯ll let you see him when his fever subsides.¡± This time, Chris looked like he wouldn¡¯t ept a ¡°no¡± for an answer.
¡°I don¡¯t want to.¡± Annie puffed up her cheeks and red at him. ¡°Why won¡¯t you let me in to see him? You purposely sent me away earlier, right? How can you do this!¡±
¡°Why can¡¯t I?¡± Chris asked, looking straight into her eyes.
Annie was startled, not expecting him to respond that way. ¡°You¡ Of course you can¡¯t!¡±
Chris grabbed her wrist, and stared deep into her eyes.
¡°Annie, I¡¯m your fianc¨¦. Tell me, why can¡¯t I stop you from taking care of another man?¡±
Chapter 1145 - I Like You (1)
Chapter 1145: I Like You (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Annie was dumbstruck and unable to reply him.
Chris looked at her seriously and asked, ¡°Tell me, do you like him?¡±
¡°I¡¡± Annie¡¯s eyes darted about nervously, her hands balled up into fists.
Chris was about to take her away but the door to the room opened, and the doctor came out excitedly, not expecting to see them. He said quickly, ¡°Your Highness, the patient is awake!¡±
Startled, Annie then pushed the doctor away and went into the room.
Sure enough, Ye Sijue, who had been unconscious, was sitting at the head of the bed. Hearing the sound, he turned to look at her.
Their eyes met.
Although he was awake, he seemed like he couldn¡¯t see clearly and his face was very red.
¡°Xiaomeng¡¡± he called her in a hoarse voice.
Annie walked over to the bed. Looking at him worriedly, she asked, ¡°Are you still feeling unwell?¡±
Behind her, the doctor said, ¡°Although the patient is awake, the fever has not subsided yet.¡±
The doctor thought it was a medical miracle. The fever hadn¡¯t subsided yet but the patient had woken up anyway.
Ye Sijue lifted his hand, looking like he was trying to grab Annie.
Seeing his hand, Annie¡¯s eyes reddened and she instinctively walked over to hold his hand.
Ye Sijue grasped her hand tightly.
Annie reached out and touched his face. His face was still hot. No wonder it was so red.
Chris walked in. With an enigmatic expression, he nced at the doctor and said. ¡°Is his condition improving now that he¡¯s awake? Is there any other way to help reduce his fever?¡±
The doctor thought about it for a moment and said, ¡°Eating would help him. When he gains energy he¡¯ll be able to recover faster.¡±
Chris turned to the helper and instructed them to prepare food.
Annie thought of something, and she called a helper, saying, ¡°Make him porridge! Something like a simple lean meat porridge will do.¡±
¡°Porridge?¡± Chris was puzzled, but realizing that it was probably a Chinese custom, he told the helpers to prepare it.
¡°Oh yeah, bring the soup to tide him over for now.¡±
The helper went down. It didn¡¯t take long for her to bring up the bowl of soup. It was the soup that Annie had eaten downstairs.
Annie took the bowl and sat on the bed to feed Ye Sijue.
Chris nced at her, but he didn¡¯t make anyments.
Ye Sijue had never let anyone feed him ever since he was young. But seeing that it was Annie, he didn¡¯t refuse. Like a docile dog, he allowed Annie to feed him.
¡°After eating he should take some antipyretic and cool down. The fever should subside soon afterwards.¡±
Ye Sijue finished eating the soup.
Just as Annie put down the bowl, Chris grabbed her wrist.
¡°Come with me for a while.¡± Chris¡¯s expression was not gentle but a little severe. ¡°I need to talk to you.¡¯
¡°But¡¡± Annie looked at Ye Sijue.
Annie hesitated. When Chris pulled her up, Ye Sijue grabbed her other arm.
He held her forcefully, as if he were afraid that she would leave.
¡°I also have something to say to you.¡± Ye Sijue¡¯s voice was hoarse.
Chapter 1146 - I Like You (2)
Chapter 1146: I Like You (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Chris smiled, but it wasn¡¯t a genuine smile. He said to Ye Sijue, ¡°Mr. Ye, you¡¯re still unwell. I think you should rest more. If there is anything you want to talk about, you can talk about it after you have recovered. Annie and I¡¡±
He looked at Annie, his smile befitting that of a prince, before saying, ¡°We are getting engaged the day after tomorrow, so we still have many things to discuss.¡±
Ye Sijue¡¯s eyes darkened, his face stiff as he looked up and met Chris¡¯s gaze.
In that moment, their eyes seemed to be crossing swords.
¡°Chris¡¡± Annie said, breaking free of Chris¡¯s grip as she stared at him. ¡°Let me¡ talk to him alone for a while, okay? I¡¯ll go meet youter.¡±
There was no obvious anger in Chris¡¯s behavior as he stepped back, bowing graciously.
¡°Okay, I just happened to have something to do as well. I¡¯ll wait for you in the study.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Annie nodded.
Chris then walked out of the room.
Annie¡¯s gaze was fixed on him as he left.
Suddenly, a hand reached out and bossily pinched her chin to make her face forward.
¡°Stop looking at him,¡± Ye Sijue said in a hoarse voice, looking visibly jealous.
Annie was startled. ncing at the person beside her, she instructed the helpers to leave them.
Reading the situation, the doctor left the antipyretic and went out with the helpers.
Only the two of them were left.
¡°Xiaomeng¡¡± Ye Sijue said, cing his other hand over hers.
Annie looked at him, her eyes evasive. Before he could finish, she interrupted, ¡°You¡¯re sweating a lot. Let me wipe you.¡±
She picked up the towel by the side, leaned over, and ced the towel on his forehead.
However, Ye Sijue grabbed her other hand as well.
¡°Don¡¯t do anything. Just be quiet and listen to me, okay?¡± Ye Sijue¡¯s voice was not as hoarse as it was earlier, perhaps due to the soup he ate.
¡°What do you want to tell me?¡± Annie asked, her eyes wide.
Ye Sijue¡¯s blue eyes were very beautiful. Even though he was sick at the moment, his eyes still shone like sapphires.
Ever since she knew him, Annie had been very curious to know how his eyes were blue and beautiful.
His eyes were the prettiest that she had ever seen.
¡°Do you still remember what I said to you before you fainted?¡± Ye Sijue¡¯s grip tightened as he said very seriously.
Annie pursed her lips but did not answer.
Ye Sijue was very perceptive.
She had looked very happy when he said what he had said to her before falling in theke.
But now, why did it seem like her expression was different?
¡°Y-you say it then,¡± Annie stuttered.
As Ye Sijue thought about how to express himself, he lifted her little hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed it.
¡°I don¡¯t quite know how to express this¡¡± He was a little embarrassed, as though he were an inexperienced boy confessing for the first time, ¡°But I really want you to know.¡±

¡°Have you been ming me for not saying those words to you?¡±
¡°Actually, I thought that you would know even if I didn¡¯t tell you. But perhaps I was wrong. Girls like to hear those words, so I should have told you earlier.¡±
Annie pursed her lips. She could tell that the next thing he said would be the most important part.
But she seemed more nervous than she was eager and the conflicting feelings showed in her eyes.
Ye Sijue brought his face closer to her, his gaze scorching as he stared at her. He said in a deep voice, ¡°Xiaomeng, I like you. I really like you so, so much.¡±
Annie froze.
Although she had already guessed what he was going to say and prepared herself for it, when she heard him say it, waves surged and pounded against her heart and new year¡¯s sprang forth.
¡°Why¡ Why did you wait till now to say it?¡±
Ye Sijue heard her whimper. He thought she was moved. Upon being confessed to, it was normal for girls to be moved.
¡°Don¡¯t cry. I¡¯ll feel bad.¡± Ye Sijue wasn¡¯t used to saying romantic words, but the words that came out from his mouth seemed so natural.
It had nothing to do with whether one was used to it or not.
When one got into the mood, the words came naturally.
Not words of love but one¡¯s honest feelings.
His lips curled up at the corner and deep emotions came over his eyes as he looked to her and said, ¡°I want you to always be by my side, okay?¡±
Xiaomeng kept quiet again. But the adorable look on her face was really cute.
Ye Sijue couldn¡¯t help himself. Leaning forward, he wanted to kiss her.
However, Annie suddenly pushed him away.
¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± She sobbed as she said. ¡°I-I¡¯m getting engaged, so¡ I can¡¯t be with you.¡±
With that, her tears fell.
Annie quickly wiped away the tears, looking as if she couldn¡¯t take it anymore. She instinctively tried to escape.
But Ye Sijue grabbed her and stopped her from leaving.
His expression was solemn, his big hand grabbing her little hand. He never thought that she would reject him.
It was a huge blow for him. He tried to control his feelings and stop himself from an outburst.
But as he endured it, his lips looked pale, and his condition seemed to worsen.
¡°Why?¡± He said in a husky voice that seemed to havee from his chest.
He loosened the grip on her hand so as not to hurt her.
¡°You like me too. You can¡¯t lie to me.¡±
He sounded very certain as if he were trying to prove something.
Annie took a deep breath, wiped her tears with her back of her hand, and said to him, ¡°So what?¡±
¡°So what?¡± Ye Sijue¡¯s face was dark, as if he hadn¡¯t expected her to say that.
¡°Yeah? E-even if I like you, I don¡¯t have to be with you, a-and I¡¯ll be getting engaged soon. C-Chris and I are really close. I can¡¯t break the engagement because of you.¡±
Annie tried to calm herself down but she couldn¡¯t stop stammering.
¡°Then why are you crying?¡± Ye Sijue looked at her sharply.
Chapter 1148 - I Like You (4)
Chapter 1148: I Like You (4)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
After she said that, her tears came gushing down from her eyes.
If those were her genuine feelings, why was she crying?
Ye Sijue was no fool. He could still see through her with a single nce.
¡°I really can¡¯t¡ Ye Sijue, I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m really sorry.¡± Large drops of tears fell from her eyes.
Annie twisted her hand and tried to break free of him.
But Ye Sijue grabbed her tightly. It didn¡¯t hurt her, but it didn¡¯t allow her to break free either.
Even if it hurt her, he still wouldn¡¯t let her leave him.
¡°Can you let go of me?¡± Annie was a little scared of the look that he was giving her.
¡°Let you go? If I were to let go, would I lose you to someone else? I don¡¯t want to let go of you.¡± Ye Sijue¡¯s eyes darkened.
If he let go of her, would she go to Chris?
At the thought of her marrying Chris made Ye Sijue¡¯s blood boil.
¡°Annie, I don¡¯t understand. Can you tell me? Why do you have to be engaged to him? Can¡¯t you cancel the engagement? If there is any trouble, I will help you with it.¡±
As long as he didn¡¯t have to let her go.
Annie stared at him nkly, shook her head, and said, ¡°I can¡¯t¡ We have already told people about the engagement. It can¡¯t be canceled!¡±
¡°Not even for me?¡± Ye Sijue stared fixedly at her eyes.
Annie stared back at him and the two locked eyes for a while.
Suddenly, she bent down and bit his arm in an attempt to make him release her. However, Ye Sijue didn¡¯t even flinch. Bite marks could be seen on Ye Sijue¡¯s skin.
Annie felt an aching in her heart.
She suddenly snapped out of it and pulled her hand back, not caring about the possibility of injury.
Ye Sijue looked at her solemnly. Seeing her resolute expression, he suddenly let go of her hand.
Annie staggered backwards, her little face startled as if she hadn¡¯t expected him to let go of her so suddenly.
She retreated quickly, putting some distance between the two of them.
¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± she apologized, weeping as she ran out.
Watching her run away, Ye Sijue clenched his fist and punched the bed.
Dizziness came over him, and his vision went dark.
Ye Sijue propped up his forehead with his fist and tried to stay awake but he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Later, he woke up again.
Two familiar faces stood beside the bed.
Upon seeing him open his eyes, a petite figure came up to him. ¡°Ye Sijue! You¡¯re finally awake? You really scared us. We thought you would¡ Let¡¯s not talk about those things! It¡¯s good that you¡¯re awake now.¡±
Ye Sijue frowned. He wanted to get up but found himself totally weak.
¡°Xiaoxiao?¡± His voice was very rough as he said that.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie were standing in front of him.
¡°Do you want to ask us what are we doing here?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked. Without waiting for his response, she continued, saying, ¡°We came here because of the thing between you and Annie, but¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face looked sad. ¡°It seems like you and Annie are not destined to be together.¡±

Ye Sijue looked down and recalled what happened before he passed out.
His voice as rough and dry as he said, ¡°Annie¡ No, she is Mo Xiaomeng to me¡¡±
¡°Annie. She¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him, wanting to say something but hesitated.
¡°Where is she now?¡± Ye Sijue sat up and looked around the room. He didn¡¯t see the person that he wanted to see, and his expression darkened slightly.
Mu Xiaoxiao exchanged nces with Yin Shaojie. Then she told Ye Sijue the truth. ¡°The dress has just been delivered and she is trying out the dress in the room.¡±
With that said, the air seemed to get colder.
Mu Xiaoxiao was afraid of this type of mood.
And when she saw Ye Sijue¡¯s expression, it didn¡¯t seem fine. This was the first time that she had seen him with such an expression and she couldn¡¯t bear it.
One of them was her close sister, and the other was a good friend whom she had known since she was young. What was she going to do about this!
There was silence for some time.
Mu Xiaoxiao finally couldn¡¯t help it anymore. ¡°Ye Sijue! I don¡¯t know why Annie would insist on getting engaged. She may have her difficulties, but I can tell that she likes you. If you do like her, then you have to fight for her! You can¡¯t let her get engaged!¡±
She really didn¡¯t want to see things go down like this.
The two clearly liked each other, why should they separate?
Yin Shaojie tugged at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that he wanted to stop her and she brushed his hand off and said angrily, ¡°I know! William said that I can¡¯t ruin this engagement, but I can¡¯t stand this. I don¡¯t understand. Even if the family is big, people don¡¯t live for the family. One should live for oneself! Moreover, I don¡¯t want to see Annie unhappy. They were really happy in China! Look at her now. Has she had a genuineugh ever since she came back here? I don¡¯t feel good watching this!¡±
Yin Shaojie tugged at her again.
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him angrily. ¡°Stop tugging me! Of course, I know that this is an awkward position for me to be in. William is such a good friend to me and I shouldn¡¯t be saying these things, but¡ª¡ª¡±
She stared resolutely at Ye Sijue and asked him, ¡°Ye Sijue, do you like Annie or not? If you have a heart that would do anything for her, then you won¡¯t stand by and watch her go and get engaged with another guy!!¡±
She didn¡¯t want to think about the misgivings or her responsibilities. She only knew that one should be together with the person that one liked so that they could build a life together.
Ye Sijue had an expressionless look as he stared at her.
¡°Xiaoxiao, if she had half of your bravery, that would be great,¡± He said.
When he first met her, he felt that Xiaoxiao and Xiaomeng had a lot of simrities, but the more they hung out with each other, the obvious it became that they were different.
Xiaomeng had a soft personality and tended to go along with others without expressing too much of her own opinions.
But Xiaoxiao was very independent and original in her thoughts and she abided by her own principles, doing the things that she wanted to do. No matter whether it was right or wrong, she wouldn¡¯t be influenced by others.
That was the way that Mu Xiaoxiao was. You could say that she was willful. She only did what she wanted to do.
People should live freely and be at ease. There was not a single thing wrong with that.

However, not many people could do that.
Hearing Ye Sijue say that, Mu Xiaoxiao sympathized with him. She sighed and said, ¡°That¡¯s just how Annie is¡ If she insists on giving up love for the family, then it¡¯ll be really difficult to convince her otherwise.¡±
Unlike her willful self, Annie was the kind of person who cares about the big picture.
Mu Xiaoxiao still remembered hearing a couple of times when Annie said that she envied her.
She didn¡¯t understand at first why Annie would envy her when she had such a good family and a good brother like William.
Later, she began to understand.
Annie was more envious of her personality, of how she could be so happy doing whatever she wanted to despite her telling Annie that she could do the same too.
But with Annie thought about the people she cared about out of habit and thus she couldn¡¯t be like Xiaoxiao.
Then, Yin Shaojie said, ¡°I think it can be done.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao gave him a curious look, ¡°I thought that you wanted to stop us. Just now didn¡¯t you-¡±
He tugged at her a couple of times.
Yin Shaojie reached out to pinch her chin, annoyed as he said, ¡°I tugged at you so that you would be quiet. Don¡¯t forget that we are still in other people¡¯s turf, okay? How can you snatch someone¡¯s bride when you¡¯re being so loud and obvious about it? Mu Xiaoxiao, do you have a brain?¡±
With that said, he poked her little head with his finger.
¡°You¡¯re the one without a brain! I thought¡ On the way here, you kept telling me that I should keep in mind what William said, so of course I would think that¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stopped talking. Considering Yin Shaojie¡¯s personality, he was unlikely to budge on his stance.
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Of course we have to take into consideration what William said. This way, we can then find the right way to solve the problem!¡±
¡°Then what should we do now?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pouted, looking quite disappointed as she said, ¡°Initially, I was thinking that we could secretly take Annie back to China and hide her. Or we can go to some other country. As long as we stop them from reaching or finding Annie, we can find ways to slowly persuade Annie¡ In any case, we just can¡¯t let her engagement go on!¡±
¡°That¡¯s a bad n,¡± Yin Shaojie said but he didn¡¯t oppose her intentions.
Mu Xiaoxiao was displeased that he thought her n wasn¡¯t good enough, ¡°Tell me then. What is a good n?¡±
Yin Shaojie shrugged. ¡°I haven¡¯t thought of it yet.¡±
¡°Annie will be getting engaged very soon! If we cannot find a way, and Annie¡¯s fianc¨¦ catches onto our n, what will we do?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
¡°Shh!¡± Yin Shaojie covered her mouth with his hand. ¡°Quiet down. Do you want everyone to hear you?¡±
There were lots of helpers in the castle walking around in the corridors. Who knew what would happen if someone overheard their conversation.
Realizing that, Mu Xiaoxiao quickly covered her mouth.
She lowered her voice and said, ¡°So let¡¯s find a solution now!¡±
Finally, Ye Sijue, who had been listening in to the conversation, said, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you consult my opinion first?¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you want to see Annie get engaged to Chris? In any case, our goal is the same: to prevent this marriage from happening!¡±
Ye Sijue kneaded his temples, looking as though he were having a headache.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him. ¡°Hey, you don¡¯t really¡ You don¡¯t really want to see Annie get engaged, do you? You don¡¯t want to fight? Do your feelings for Annie only amount to this?¡±
She had always thought that if the fondness was deep enough, one would never allow one¡¯s love to be taken by someone else.
One shouldn¡¯t concede in matters of love.
One could only concede if the love wasn¡¯t strong enough.
Looking into her eyes, Ye Sijue said broodingly, ¡°Have you considered what she might think about this n? What if she doesn¡¯t want this engagement to be ruined?¡±
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned and at a loss of words.
¡°But I think¡¡±
Ye Sijue interrupted her, ¡°That¡¯s just what you think, not what she thinks. Like you said, if she likes me that much, then she will have the heart to do anything for me, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao fell silent.
After a while, Mu Xiaoxiao finally found her voice again and said to him angrily, ¡°So do you want to give up? Just because she is disregarding everything for your sake, are you going to watch as she gets engaged to Chris? Haven¡¯t you ever considered that perhaps she¡¯s just not brave enough? She¡¯s just, she¡¯s just¡ unsure if she¡¯s brave enough to express herself!¡±
¡°Alright.¡± Yin Shaojie stepped in lest she start quarreling with Ye Sijue.
¡°Since this is the case, let¡¯s see how Annie feels.¡±
Both Ye Sijue and Mu Xiaoxiao turned to look at him.
Mu Xiaoxiao asked, ¡°So how are we going to do that?¡±
Yin Shaojie folded his arms at his chest, his long fingers rubbing his chin as he contemted. ¡°Well¡ I gotta think about this.¡±
Knock knock.
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Come in.¡±
A maid came in. Seeing Ye Sijue awake, she smiled and said, ¡°Mr. Ye, I¡¯m d that you¡¯re awake.¡±
Then she looked politely at Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao and said in a gentle and deferential manner, ¡°Miss Mu and Mr. Yin, His Highness has prepared dinner and invited the three of you to join him.¡±
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Okay, we¡¯ll be there.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± The maid smiled and left.
Noticing that Yin Shaojie watched the maid leave, Mu Xiaoxiao said jealously, ¡°Hey! Stop looking! Even if the maid is pretty, you can¡¯t keep staring like that!¡±
Humph! Had he thought about how she felt?
The maids in the castle were very pretty.
She couldn¡¯t help but wonder if Prince Chris chose his maids based on how beautiful they were.
Yin Shaojie turned back, amused as he rubbed her head.
¡°I wasn¡¯t looking at the maid. Okay, I was looking, but not because of her. I was just thinking that their helpers are trained well, don¡¯t you think?¡±
¡°Are they?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao lowered her head as she thought. It seemed that he was right. Not only were the maids pretty, they were also very capable. If they weren¡¯t dressed in maid attire, one might not have guessed that they were maids.

She snorted and said, ¡°You¡¯re not thinking of taking a few of them back to be your maids, are you?¡±
¡°If I could, I would. But I doubt they¡¯d let me.¡± Yin Shaojie thought out loud, pretending to consider it seriously.
¡°You dare!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao red at him.
¡°Just kidding.¡± Yin Shaojieughed, putting his arm over her shoulders.
¡°I don¡¯t think you¡¯re joking. You¡¯re really considering it, aren¡¯t you?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pouted, looking jealous.
Ye Sijue coughed a couple of times and nced at his friends, saying, ¡°Are you here to help me or to bicker?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to talk to you anymore! I¡¯m hungry. Let¡¯s go eat!¡±
Though Mu Xiaoxiao said that, she pulled away, flicking her hair before leaving the room.
Yin Shaojie was about to go and pacify her but someone grabbed ahold of him.
¡°Hey, are you forgetting that I¡¯m a sick person?¡± Ye Sijue reminded him.
¡°Wait here. I¡¯ll go out and ask two maids toe in and help you up.¡± Being the Great Master Yin, what would he know about caring for people? Moreover, the maids here were well trained, gentle, and meticulous. Wouldn¡¯t it be better to let them take care of him?
¡°No need!¡± Ye Sijue red at him.
¡°I must.¡± Yin Shaojieughed. He quickly went out and beckoned for two maids toe in.
Ye Sijue had just gotten woken up. He drank a bowl of soup before he passed out, but it was already night time, and he was feeling hungry.
The maids were very attentive. Upon learning that he had woken up, the maids served porridge for him.
At first, the maids had wanted to feed him, but Ye Sijue refused.
After tasting the porridge, Ye Sijue was quite surprised.
This porridge was very thick and tasted the same as what he ate at home.
Beside him, the maid asked, ¡°Mr. Ye, is this porridge to your liking?¡±
¡°Yeah, it¡¯s very good.¡± Ye Sijue nodded and asked, ¡°Do you have a Chinese chef here too?¡±
The maid shook her head. ¡°No, we don¡¯t.¡±
Ye Sijue didn¡¯t expect the foreign chefs to be able to capture such an authentic taste.
The maid seemed to have noticed his interest because she smiled and exined, ¡°Actually, this is Miss Annie¡¯s doing. She found a recipe and guided the chef. She even did several taste tests before serving it. Perhaps Miss Annie was hoping that you would be able to eat something that you were used to.¡±
Ye Sijue was startled and there was a stirring in his eyes.
He said nothing more but only lowered his head to eat the porridge.
In the living room on the first floor.
Yin Shaojie chased Mu Xiaoxiao down the stairs. She was surprisingly fast for someone with short legs.
Catching up to her, he saw Mu Xiaoxiao standing in a daze.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± He walked over and patted her on the shoulder.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned back and looked at him. Her ck, bright eyes had a disbelieving look as her slender finger pointed in a certain direction.
¡°Why is that guy here?¡±
That guy?
Yin Shaojie looked at the direction where she pointed and realized who she was talking about.
Nimo sat on the European-style sofa, smiling as he waved at them. ¡°Hello, we meet again! What a coincidence!¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s brows furrowed.
Coincidence?
Obviously not!

Obviously, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t like Nimo very much. She leaned over to Yin Shaojie and whispered to him, ¡°Why is this guy here?¡±
More importantly, this wasn¡¯t any ordinary ce.
It wasn¡¯t as if the castle was his own private castle where he coulde and go whenever he pleased.
Soon the answer of how he got in was out.
Sitting opposite of Nimo, Chris turned to look at them, seeming slightly surprised as he asked, ¡°You¡¯ve met?¡±
Nimoughed, ¡°Yeah, we¡¯re friends. I didn¡¯t expect to meet them again after meeting them earlier today.¡±
Chris gave Nimo an odd look. Apparently, he also couldn¡¯t believe it.
He stood up and said, ¡°Come and have your meals then we can chat.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie went over.
After all, they had to be respectful to the host.
The four sat at the dining table.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked around and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s Annie? Isn¡¯t she going to eat?¡±
¡°She ate a bit while she was trying the dress but she said that she¡¯s not hungry, so I¡¯ll have someone prepare something for herter,¡± Chris exined, his hand extended as he gracefully gestured. ¡°Miss Mu, Mr. Yin, please enjoy your meal.¡±
Upon sniffing the sweet smell of the food, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s stomach rumbled uncontrobly.
She then realized that the maids had specially provided them with Chinese dishes.
She had to admit that Prince Chris was a hospitable host. He had even taken into ount their eating habits.
In front of Nimo was a steak.
ncing around, Nimo noticed that Chris was also having a Chinese dish.
He put down the knife and fork and signaled to the helper. ¡°Prepare a fresh set of cutlery for me.¡±
The cutlery was quickly delivered, and he instructed the helper to remove the steak so that he could also have some Chinese cuisine.
Seeing that Chris and Nimo were using forks and knives to eat Chinese food, Mu Xiaoxiao couldnt help but giggle inside.
While dining, Nimo talked a little with Chris. It was obvious that they were not close friends.
Mu Xiaoxiao went up to Yin Shaojie¡¯s ear and asked curiously, ¡°Why is your friend acquainted with Prince Chris? Who the heck is he?¡±
Without a certain family background, how could he have be such good friend with a prince?
¡°He makes lots of friends. I¡¯m not too sure either,¡± Yin Shaojie justughed it off.
Just then, Nimo raised his ss and gestured to him. ¡°Jie, we haven¡¯t drank together for a long time. It just so happens that Chris has a lot of good wine. Shall we drink to our hearts¡¯ content tonight?¡±
Chris shot him a look. Then in a mocking tone, he said, ¡°Who said you could have my wine? Every time youe, you drink my wine. I think you should stoping here.¡±
¡°Puh-lease, wine isn¡¯t for collecting. It¡¯s for drinking. If I don¡¯t help you drink the wine in your cer, you¡¯ll never finish it, not even in a hundred years. And you don¡¯t even like drinking so why did you even buy so much wine?¡± Nimo shook the wine ss and smiled in an annoying manner.
Chris said, ¡°Can you say something different? I have heard that a hundred times.¡±
¡°Why change?¡± Nimoughed even more annoyingly. ¡°Some things are worth repeating, am I wrong?¡±
Chapter 1154 - What About Xiaoxiao’s Background? (2)

He even said mischievously to Yin Shaojie, ¡°We¡¯ll help him finish some wine tonight. It¡¯s good that you¡¯re here. He is very kind to the guests.¡±
Yin Shaojie also wanted to figure out what Nimo guy was up to. He was acting strangely in the morning. Now that he appeared at the castle, there had to be something fishy going on.
Thus, he nodded and said, ¡°Okay.¡±
Nimo happily snapped his fingers. ¡°It¡¯s settled then! Chris, you too. You two are my good brothers and I¡¯ve been thinking of introducing you guys to each other for some time now.¡±
Chris thought for a moment and agreed.
After the meal, Chris took Nimo into the study.
¡°Who is he?¡± Chris sat in a leather chair and asked him bluntly.
Standing in front of the luxurious desk, Nimo picked up a pen and yed with it. He smiled and said, ¡°Are you referring to Yin Shaojie? I thought that you would¡¯ve done a check on him before he came here.¡±
¡°That¡¯s only superficial, right?¡± Chris looked directly in his eyes.
Being the heir to the Yin family of China seemed impressive.
But given what he knew about Nimo, Nimo would not make friends based on their status but their capability. In other words, he could only acknowledge you as a friend if he admired your capabilities.
From the earlier interactions, Chris could tell that Nimo and Yin Shaojie were close.
At the very least he thought that Yin Shaojie knew Nimo¡¯s secret identity.
Nimo smiled and didn¡¯t deny it.
He said, ¡°I don¡¯t know if you still remember. It was about¡ Let me recall. Three and a half years ago? He was the guy who caused me to fail for the first time. Because of that we became friends.¡±
Chris looked astonished. He furrowed his brows and said, ¡°He¡¯s the one? But judging from his current age, how old was he three and a half years ago? He actually caused you to fail?¡±
Obviously, he knew what Nimo was capable of. Stopping him from aplishing his mission would have required someone who was truly exceptional.
Nimo shrugged, pursing his lips as if thinking about the past.
¡°He was a little devil at that time. I never expected to be made a fool of by him. Now that I think about it¡ Perhaps, this is fate?¡± Nimo said.
Chris inteced his fingers, looking at him as he said, ¡°No wonder you ran to me crying, telling me that your reputation as the greatest thief was ruined. Actually, I was thinking that it was about time someone came to humble you.¡±
¡°Hey! When did I cry? Stop spouting nonsense!¡± Nimo said unhappily.
However, considering that he was the twenty seventh heir to a family of master thieves, a prodigy that was always very brash and never once known failure, it was certainly hard to ept that he had lost to a little devil two years younger.
¡°That¡¯s not the point. You still haven¡¯t answered my question.¡± Chris looked at him and went back to the main point.
¡°This, I can¡¯t tell you.¡± Nimo said.
Although Chris was curious, he wasn¡¯t someone who would insist on getting to the bottom of things. He was respectful of his friends. Seeing that Nimo didn¡¯t want toe forth with it, he didn¡¯t ask any further.

Moreover, it could be deduced from the conversation that Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t a simple person, otherwise Nimo wouldn¡¯t have made friends with him.
Nimo curiously rubbed his chin and said, ¡°So the one who was snatching your wife from you was Yin Shaojie¡¯s friend? A difficult position to put me in. Should I be standing by your side or his side?¡±
¡°Whatever. I don¡¯t think anyone cares about this point,¡± Chris said indifferently.
Nimoughed oddly, sitting on the desk.
¡°Sometimes, I really don¡¯t know what you are thinking. Tell me, okay?¡± he said.
¡°Oh? Didn¡¯t you im to be able read people like a book?¡± Chrisughed.
¡°You¡¯re joking. You are such aplicated person. If I could read you, I¡¯d be God.¡±
Chris¡¯s folded his legs and told him to leave. ¡°The conversation is over. You can leave now.¡±
Nimo nodded. ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll go out. I¡¯ll go and finish your wine for you.¡±
¡°Please, do as you wish if you¡¯re not afraid to die drunk.¡± Although the cer had a lock, Chris knew that any lock in the world was as good as nothing to Nimo.
¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go drink then. I still haven¡¯t had the collector¡¯s edition that you bought previously.¡± Reminded of the wine, Nimo looked excited as he hurried out.
¡
Nimo took Yin Shaojie to the underground cer.
On the door was a sophisticated password lock.
Yin Shaojie watched as Nimo unlocked it despite not knowing the code.
Fortunately, Yin Shaojie was no stranger to his these things.
¡°I¡¯m never inviting you to my house again,¡± Yin Shaojie said, showing no regard for him.
Nimoughed without saying anything, an entered the cer.
Yin Shaojie followed behind him.
Nimo sniffed the air. As though he knew where it was hidden all along, he went to an unmarked crate where he found the collector¡¯s edition wine.
¡°This is¡¡± Yin Shaojie squinted. The wine seemed familiar. He searched through his mind and quickly recognized it. ¡°This was the wine that was on auction for more than a million US dors three months ago, right? And you¡¯re just going to drink it?¡±
¡°Hey hey, aren¡¯t I a good brother? You don¡¯t have to be so touched that I¡¯m treating you to such good wine.¡± Nimo patted his chest before taking the wine to the table set at the door. He took wine sses from the cab and poured a ss for each of them.
Yin Shaojie shook his head, unsure whether tough or cry. ¡°You¡¯re using someone else¡¯s wine to treat me?¡±
¡°Rx. Chris is not that petty.¡± Nimo handed the ss to him.
Although Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t obsessed about wine, he knew his wine so he didn¡¯t refuse. He picked up the ss of wine and took a sip. The special fragrance of the wine circted in his mouth, and he narrowed his eyes.
¡°Not bad, right?¡± Nimo drank it as well, looking very pleased.
Nimo raised the ss and the two clinked sses.
After finishing the ss of wine in one gulp, Yin Shaojie put down the ss, nced at him, and asked, ¡°Tell me. You¡¯ve been following me today. What is the meaning of this? When you tried to kidnap Xiaoxiao, what was that for? I didn¡¯t have time to ask you earlier. Don¡¯t think I¡¯m gonna let you off for that.¡±
Nimo smiled, spreading open a hand and saying, ¡°I was just¡ testing her.¡±
Chapter 1156 - What about Xiaoxiao’s Background? (4)
Chapter 1156: What about Xiaoxiao¡¯s Background? (4)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Test her? Why test her?¡± Yin Shaojie red at him. Looking displeased, he said, ¡°Lucky for you my Xiaoxiao is brave, otherwise you¡¯d have scared her and I¡¯d never forgive you for that!¡±
¡°Tsk tsk. Your Xiaoxiao. Hearing that is really¡ My teeth feel sour. I told you. Meeting you this time, I felt that you were strange and now I finally know why!¡± Nimo seemed to have a sh of realization. He pped his thigh, pointed at Yin Shaojie, looking disgusted as he said, ¡°You have the foul, acrid smell of love!¡±
¡°That¡¯s none of your business.¡± Yin Shaojie rolled his eyes at him.
Nimoughed, ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so nervous. I won¡¯t do anything to your baby. I just wanted to get close to her.¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned slightly, looking quite unhappy as he said, ¡°Why do you want to get close to her?¡±
¡°Well¡¡± Nimo¡¯s tapped his fingers on the table haphazardly, his head tilted as he thought for a moment. Then he looked at him and said, ¡°I heard that you had a wife so I was curious and did a check. I didn¡¯t expect her background to be so interesting. So I have gotten quite interested in her. Now that you¡¯re in America, I thought I would take the time to get to know her! Geez, don¡¯t be nervous. I¡¯m not trying to bepetition.¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s elegant face said: ¡°If you dare, I¡¯ll kill you!¡±
¡°What about Xiaoxiao¡¯s background?¡± Yin Shaojie stopped ring and asked him.
Nimo was a little surprised. ¡°You don¡¯t know? The Mu family isn¡¯t as simple as it seems on the surface. In short, it¡¯s a bitplicated. In any case, your wife¡¯s family is formidable!¡±
Nimo suddenlyughed, ¡°I guess that even Chris doesn¡¯t know her background, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t have treated her like that.¡±
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes. ¡°What the hell are you talking about? Back to your old habits, I see. Can¡¯t you just say it inly? You just have to leave me hanging, don¡¯t you? Stop acting mysterious!¡±
¡°It¡¯s not that I want to leave you hanging, it¡¯s just that your wife¡¯s family background is mysterious!¡± Nimo rubbed his chin, sighed, and said, ¡°Honestly, I was just curious and¡ wanted to get to know your wife.¡±
With his family secrets and capability, there were only some things that he couldn¡¯t investigate. If even he couldn¡¯t investigate it, then it meant that the person of interest was someone remarkable.
Yin Shaojie took a deep breath, ring at him impatiently. ¡°What the hell are you talking about? If you don¡¯t make it clear, I¡¯m leaving. I don¡¯t wanna stay here with you any longer.¡±
No one liked to be left hanging especially when Nimo wasughing so annoyingly. Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and was afraid that he would beat Nimo up.
¡°Okay, then let me ask you. Do you know about your wife¡¯s family?¡± Nimo went straight to the point.
Yin Shaojie had never cared about this kind of thing as he had grown up with Xiaoxiao. They knew each other very well so there was no need to think about their family background.
¡°The Mu family¡¡± Yin Shaojie said, but he paused.
Indeed, he really didn¡¯t know much about the Mu family.
He also recalled that when he was young and his elders talked about the Mus, the mood changed.

Nimo pointed at him and chuckled. Holding up the ss he swirled the contents, saying, ¡°From the look on your face, it seems like you don¡¯t know. But since the Mu family¡¯s power is not based in China, it¡¯s natural for you to not know them very well.¡±
¡°Can you cut to the point?¡± Yin Shaojie stared at him, his tone bing impatient.
¡°You want me to tell you, but I don¡¯t know where to even start¡¡± Nimo thought, his brows wrinkled.
Yin Shaojie raised his ss in a pose as though he were going to strike him with it.
Nimo said hastily, ¡°Okay, okay, okay, I¡¯ll tell you! The Mu family is reallyplicated. In short, the Mu family has a long history in America. You could say that they are the most influential Chinese family in America. But they keep a low profile. They¡¯replete mysteries to outsiders.¡±
¡°In America, they are not called the Mus, but rather the Muirs family. After over a hundred years of growth, they have be a veryrge family. No one knows how big the family is or how rich it is. Some people say that the family¡¯s riches can rival that of the nation¡¯s. Some even joke that several countries have borrowed money from the Muirs.¡±
¡°In short, the Muirs family is an old and mysterious family in America. It is said that presidents have to acquaint themselves with the Muirs family to be considered legitimate.¡±
¡°Also¡¡±
Hearing this information, it was hard for Yin Shaojie to digest. His brows wrinkled deeper.
¡°Are you telling a story?¡± He looked at Nimo in disbelief.
He couldn¡¯t imagine Xiaoxiao¡¯s family being that powerful. Was he joking?
Nimo¡¯s mouth was getting dry from talking, so he took a sip of wine.
As though he had already expected Yin Shaojie to react this way, he raised his eyebrow as he looked to Yin Shaojie and said, ¡°Right? You find it hard to believe too, don¡¯t you? I was surprised when I first found out about it. You¡¯re too lucky! You actually found someone from the Muirs family to be your wife. Do you know what means? It is rumored that the people of this family are particrly united, and that is why they can develop themselves to such an extent.¡±
Yin Shaojie was still in shock.
After finishing the ss of wine, Nimo poured another ss for himself. Rubbing his nose, Nimo said, ¡°I¡¯ll be honest, your wife is my type. If she wasn¡¯t your wife, I would really take her for myself!¡±
Because of Nimo¡¯s family background he was able to meet many beautiful people, upper-ssdies, and royal princesses, but very few of them could make him feel such an urge to be acquainted with a person.
Puh-lease! How could those upper-ssdies or princessespare with a daughter of the Muirs family?
Princesses meant little to Nimo!
With so many countries in the world, there were many princesses around.
But how many families in this world were like the Muirs?
Hearing that, Yin Shaojie red daggers at Nimo. ¡°Don¡¯t get any ideas unless you don¡¯t want to see the light of dawn!¡±
¡°Rx, if I really wanted to steal her, would I tell you?¡± Nimo shook his head and finished his drink, still looking as though he were regretful.
Yin Shaojie snorted and said confidently, ¡°Even if you wanted to steal her, you won¡¯t be able to. My rtionship with Xiaoxiao is not something that anyone can shake!¡±

¡°Really? I don¡¯t believe it!¡± Nimo spread open his hands and said, ¡°In this world, there is no such thing as feelings that won¡¯t change. People¡¯s hearts, especially women¡¯s hearts, will change.¡±
Nimo tut-tutted.
Yin Shaojie took a sip of wine and felt the rich, mellow taste lingering in his mouth before he swallowed it.
He nced at Nimo as though he were tired of entertaining him, and said, ¡°You wouldn¡¯t understand our rtionship even if I told you about it.¡±
Nimo shook his head. ¡°Hearing you say that, I¡¯m quite envious.¡±
To have a rtionship that you could be so confident in.
Nimo suddenly squinted at him. ¡°But¡ one day, if her feelings for you started to make you doubt your rtionship, what would you do? Would you break down?¡±
Yin Shaojie red at him, ¡°Shut up! That will never ever happen!¡±
¡°Hehe, you are too confident. Nothing is absolute in this world.¡± Nimo was a realist, so he didn¡¯t quite agree with Yin Shaojie.
¡°You¡¯ve never been in love so why I should I listen to you?¡± Yin Shaojie said disdainfully.
¡°Okay.¡± Nimo nodded perfunctorily, raised his ss, and said to him, ¡°I wish that your dream woulde true. I wish for you and your wife to be together forever.¡±
¡°Dreame true? Get lost!¡±
He actually described their rtionship as a dream. He was really asking for a beating. If there weren¡¯t a table separating them, Yin Shaojie would have given him a kick.
Nimo suddenly thought of something, put down the ss, and said excitedly, ¡°If you do get married, remember to invite me, okay? I might get a chance to see people from her family! I¡¯m so excited! Why don¡¯t you get married soon! How about this year?¡±
¡°How old are we? Get married? You¡¯re thinking too much.¡± Yin Shaojie shook his head.
¡°Since you love her so much, why don¡¯t you make her yours sooner? But then again, she could still divorce you. If she doesn¡¯t love you anymore, a marriage won¡¯t be able to bind her. And from the looks of it, your wife doesn¡¯t seem like the type of woman who can be tied up by marriage. If she doesn¡¯t love you nothing will bind her,¡± Nimo said, rubbing his chin.
Yin Shaojie grew extremely annoyed.
She was his wife. No other men needed to understand her!
Seeing that Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t answering him and had an odd expression on his face, Nimo leaned closer. ¡°I have a question. Did you and your wife¡ have sex yet?¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t expect him to ask directly, and he immediately spat out his wine.
Nimo could tell from his expression and he expressed his disdain.
¡°I knew it! Seeing how you two behave around each other, I predicted as much. You better be quick about it!¡± He reached out and patted Yin Shaojie¡¯s shoulder.
Yin Shaojie wrung his brows and shot a look at him. ¡°You¡¯re too filthy! You have to take things one step at a time when ites to things like this. Xiaoxiao and I fell in love¡¡±
Nimo looked at him andughed, ¡°You¡¯re useless. You can¡¯t even get a girl in bed with you. Don¡¯t tell anyone that I know you.¡±
Hearing that, Yin Shaojie felt a great urge to beat him up.
Yin Shaojie rolled his eyes at him, gulped down the rest of the wine, and ced the ss loudly on the table.

Yin Shaojie walked out. ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk to you anymore.¡±
¡°Hey! We only drank two sses. Let¡¯s continue!¡± Nimo wanted to stop him, but Yin Shaojie was too fast.
¡°I¡¯m going to find my wife. I don¡¯t feel safe leaving her alone.¡±
¡°Hoes before bros?¡±
¡°Why do you care? Why don¡¯t you go find a wife and then we¡¯ll see what you¡¯d do¡±
¡°I wish. Why don¡¯t you ask your wife if she has any sisters in her family that she can introduce to me?¡±
Yin Shaojie was walking out of the wine cer when he suddenly stopped.
Turning around, he put his finger on his lips and said to Nimo, ¡°Tell no one about my wife, you got it?¡±
The news was too shocking that he was still trying to digest it.
Although he knew that Nimo wasn¡¯t one who would leak information, news about the Mu family was very likely to be true and the fact that it was true made it hard for Yin Shaojie to digest it.
He suddenly wondered if his parents knew this about the Mu family?
Perhaps not.
If his parents knew about them, they would have told him.
Now that he thought about it, it was no wonder that the Mu family was called the legendary Mu family. They were low-key and mysterious and had power that no one could properly gauge. Even the Big Four Families couldn¡¯t properly grasp them.
Yin Shaojie could understand now why the elders spoke of the Mu family in a different tone.
He was quite curious to know how the elders would react if they were to know the truth about the Mu family.
But he also knew that Xiaoxiao¡¯s background was not something that he could casually talk about.
The old and mysterious Muirs family¡
Yin Shaojie walked out of the wine cer. Staring at the night sky through the French window, he took a deep breath.
¡
In the bedroom.
Annie looked at herself in the mirror. The dress was very beautiful.
She knew that Chris would never let her down in this aspect. He would surprise her from time to time.
But this time, Annie realized that she was not happy at all.
She looked really beautiful in the mirror.
Her hair was drawn up in two locks falling down by her temples. It framed her dainty face well and she looked very refined.
While Annie was lost in her thoughts, looking at the mirror, someone knocked at the door behind her.
¡°Come in,¡± she said tepidly, thinking it was a helper who had came to serve dinner.
Ka cha¡ª¡ª
The door opened and a tall figure came up behind her, his elegant face appeareding in the mirror.
Annie was unaware. She was looking at the mirror, but her eyes were unfocused.
¡°Are you thinking about me?¡± Suddenly a hoarse voice said by her ear.
Annie hadn¡¯t regained her senses yet, but his words stirred her heart.
¡°Why is it you¡¡±
She looked up abruptly and met Ye Sijue¡¯s gaze in the mirror.
Seeing his pale face, sadness flitted across her eyes.
¡°Are you awake? Are you feeling¡ any better?¡± she asked, not realizing that her tone was very gentle.
Her hands on herp clenched nervously.
¡°No,¡± Ye Sijue said.
Annie was stunned for a moment. It were as if she understood the implied meaning when she looked into his eyes.
He wasn¡¯t referring to his body being unwell, but rather his heart¡

Annie was suddenly flustered, and she instinctively avoided his gaze.
His gaze seemed to peer straight into the depths of her heart, and she couldn¡¯t help but be flustered.
¡°You¡ If you¡¯re unwell, why don¡¯t you rest in the room? You should be resting. Oh yeah, how long have you been sleeping? Have you eaten since you woke up? Did they send the porridge to you?¡±
¡°Yes,¡± Ye Sijue interrupted her, his hand raised as if he were going to put it on her shoulder, but upon a second thought, his fingers curled, and he drew back his hand.
¡°I heard them say that tasted this porridge many times¡¡±
¡°No!¡± This time, it was Annie who interrupted him. She awkwardly arranged her hair by her ear, pursed her lips, and said, ¡°After all, you¡ got sick because you saved me. I want you to get better soon, so I¡ That¡¯s why. So don¡¯t¡¡±
¡°I know that you still care about me.¡± Ye Sijue¡¯s gaze was fixed on her.
¡°You are my friend, of course¡¡± Annie wanted to make an excuse.
¡°Just a friend? I don¡¯t think so. You know very well that we are not friends. We are¡¡±
Lovers.
Ye Sijue wanted to say that, but he knew that it was not his ce to say it.
He was very remorseful.
He had given it a lot of thought. If he had mad his feelings to her known when they were in China, would they be happy right now?
¡°Can I ask you something?¡± He coughed suddenly.
Annie was going to refuse him instinctively, but seeing him like this, she couldn¡¯t bear it. ¡°What do you want to ask?¡±
¡°If,¡± Ye Sijue met her eyes through the mirror. Despite his sickly look, his gaze was scorching. ¡°If I had confessed to you in China, would you have stille back to get engaged?¡±
Annie¡¯s hands shook.
¡°I want you to hear the truth.¡± Ye Sijue wouldn¡¯t let her escape.
Annie¡¯s eyes became misty, and she said with a whimper, ¡°It¡¯s meaningless to talk about this now¡¡±
¡°But I want to know the answer. Tell me. Tell me the truth, okay?¡±
This time, Ye Sijue said it in a pleading manner.
Seeing him like this, she could only feel as though her heart were being crushed under a heavy stone.
She pursed her lips and finally said, ¡°No¡¡±
Although they lived together in China, kissed many times, did other intimate things, and seemed like a couple on the outside, Annie had never been sure if he really liked her.
Annie had never been in love. She wasn¡¯t sure if she even liked him.
No. More urately, she knew that she liked him, but she wasn¡¯t sure how deep her love was.
Was it just a one-time romance in a foreign country or was it deep love that would bind them together for a lifetime?
And what about him?
What was she to him?
Annie knew that she wasn¡¯t a very smart girl. She wasn¡¯t as smart as Xiaoxiao
Sometimes she was clumsy.
On the other hand, she was a very paranoid person.
If he didn¡¯t tell her very resolutely that he liked her and needed her to stay, she wouldn¡¯t be able to confirm his feelings for her.

Hearing Annie¡¯s answer, Ye Sijue¡¯s expression changed slightly and he took a deep breath.
Although he had expected her answer, he still felt an aching in his heart.
From her tone, he could tell that the answer was already meaningless.
Annie didn¡¯t dare to look into his eyes through the mirror. She looked down, and she said gloomily, ¡°Can you leave? I have to change my clothes.¡±
Ye Sijue¡¯s throat rolled up and down, and his gaze fell upon her bare, fair shoulders.
They reminded him of the first time they met, in the hotel room, on the bed.
At that time, they almost did ¡°that.¡±
Ye Sijue stepped forward and he wrapped his arms around her petite figure.
¡°Really? Is it really impossible for us to go back?¡± he asked in a husky voice.
He knew that she liked him and he liked her. They both liked each other. Why wouldn¡¯t she be brave for him and refuse the engagement?
His body temperature warmed her.
She realized how much she missed her time in China.
It was only a few days ago but why did she feel as if it were a lifetime ago?
¡°I¡¯m sorry¡¡± she had no choice but to answer him that way.
Ye Sijue¡¯s face closed in to her cheek and he couldn¡¯t help but kiss her beside her ear.
If she wasn¡¯t facing away from him, he would have kissed her on the lips.
However, he no longer had the right to do that.
There was a voice telling him that she was someone else¡¯s woman now and he needed to let go of her.
But he couldn¡¯t let go of her.
He was very selfish and wanted to take her away so that she would have no choice but to stay by his side. He had to have her.
Ye Sijue had never felt such a strong desire to possess anything since he was a child.
Annie felt that their position wasn¡¯t very appropriate, so she opened her hands and tried to break free from him.
However, he used more force and held her tighter instead.
¡°Ye Sijue¡¡± she said.
The sound of footsteps alerted Ye Sijue. Ye Sijue could tell that the sound wasing towards them. Perhaps it was a maid.
He hesitated for a moment and finally let go of her.
However, Annie didn¡¯t feel relieved. Instead, she felt a dull ache in her heart.
¡°Annie,¡± said a familiar voice.
Annie and Ye Sijue looked up at the same time. They saw Mu Xiaoxiaoing in.
Mu Xiaoxiao caught onto the mood and she looked at them, embarrassed.
¡°You two¡ Ye Sijue, why are you here?¡±
¡°I have something to say to Xiaomeng,¡± Ye Sijue exined tepidly. Then he looked at Annie¡¯s face again.
Mu Xiaoxiao realized that she was interrupting them and she prepared to leave. ¡°Oh, you two talk, then. I¡¯ll¡¡±
¡°Xiaoxiao!¡± Annie called her and stood up, her little hand grasping her dress as she stopped her from leaving.
¡°Don¡¯t leave. I was just going to look for you. Can you help me check this dress?¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was startled and she instinctively nced at Ye Sijue. Sure enough, he didn¡¯t look happy.
Annie seemed as though she really didn¡¯t want her to leave and she went over to grab Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand. Sounding like a child, she pleaded with her. ¡°Xiaoxiao, stay with me, alright?¡±

How could Mu Xiaoxiao not see that she didn¡¯t want to be alone with Ye Sijue?
When she first entered, she had felt that the atmosphere was a little odd. She wondered what they could have been talking about.
She had no choice but to let Ye Sijue down.
¡°Okay, then. Your dress is very beautiful and it fits well. It looks really good on you. That guy¡ Chris has good taste.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her up and down and gave her sincere opinion.
Ye Sijue moved forward, almost touching Annie¡¯s ear as he said, ¡°You look really beautiful.¡±
With that said, he stepped out.
Annie was startled. Her ears still felt quite fuzzy, warmed by his breath.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Annie then at Ye Sijue, and she said, embarrassed, ¡°Should I not havee?¡±
She was worried that Annie might start imagining things if she were alone in her room, so she thought she shoulde and apany her.
However, she had never expected to see Ye Sijue as well.
Annie¡¯s eyes were a little gloomy, but she forced a smile, shaking her head as she said, ¡°No, I¡¯ve been waiting for you. Have you eaten your meal?¡±
¡°Yeah. You haven¡¯t eaten, right? Why didn¡¯t you eat with us?¡±
Seeing that Ye Sijue had left, she didn¡¯t want to talk about him so she changed the subject.
¡°I¡¯m not hungry,¡± Annie said.
¡°You have to eat even if you¡¯re not hungry. It¡¯d be merrier if we dine together.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head, taking the chance to lecture her. But she knew that Annie was in a bad mood and had no appetite.
Mu Xiaoxiao walked to the dressing table and saw a crown in a box. It was dazzling, a crown fit for a princess.
¡°This is so beautiful!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes glimmered. She went to touch it, almost wanting to try it on.
The crown had a stylish, ssic design.
Annie exined, ¡°It¡¯s an heirloom. Chris said it was given to me by my grandma so that I can wear it at the engagement party.¡±
¡°Grandma? His grandma or your grandma?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
¡°It¡¯s his grandmother. But when we grew up together, I had a close rtionship with his grandmother. My other¡ She died when I was very young, so I have always regarded his grandmother as mine. Moreover, grandma also treats me as if I were her biological granddaughter.¡± As Annie talked about her grandma, her eyes were filled with warmth and affection.
¡°However¡ Grandma¡¯s hasn¡¯t been very healthy recently,¡± Annie said. ¡°Grandma used to say that I¡¯m her little princess. She hopes that I¡¯ll be married one day. It must be very beautiful and romantic. She wants me to be the happiest little princess in the world.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao held her hand tofort her.
She wanted to cheer her up, but she couldn¡¯t tell her: ¡®You¡¯ll have a blissful life.¡¯
It was obvious that Annie liked Ye Sijue. How could she be happy if she married someone she didn¡¯t like?
¡°Is it because¡ of his grandmother that you insisted on not canceling the engagement?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was quick to figure it out.
Annie was stunned for a moment. Then she slowly nodded her head.

Mu Xiaoxiao gave a sympathetic look. ¡°But¡ If your grandma really loves you, she would understand if you chose someone that you love over her grandson.¡±
Happiness woulde when you are with the person that you love.
Mu Xiaoxiao grabbed her hand and said seriously, ¡°Annie, there¡¯s still time for you to reconsider.¡±
Annie¡¯s eyes stirred as she looked at her.
However¡ the invitations for the engagement had been sent. If they were to cancel the engagement now, wouldn¡¯t that damage the reputations of both families?
Annie was someone who loved her family. She couldn¡¯t do anything that would shame the family.
As Annie was distraught with anxiety, Yin Shaojie found them. ¡°Xiaoxiaoe here. I have something to talk to you about.¡±
¡°What? Can¡¯t you see that I¡¯m chatting with Annie? Gimme a minute!¡± Seeing as she was about to convince Annie, how could Mu Xiaoxiao leave her now?
Yin Shaojie stood at the door dashingly with his hand stuck in his trouser pocket. He beckoned to Mu Xiaoxiao with a finger, urging her. ¡°Come here! Quickly¡±
Annie was very confused. She pushed Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°Go ahead. I¡¯d like some time to think.¡±
¡°Alright, remember, your happiness is the most important thing. The person you love will also wish for your happiness. Do you understand?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
Annie nodded, ¡°Okay.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao walked up to Yin Shaojie reluctantly.
Yin Shaojie gave Annie a nod. Then he grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand and took her away.
¡°Weren¡¯t you drinking with Nimo? How are you done so quickly?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked. She leaned closer to sniff him. He smelled of alcohol.
They reached the guest room where Yin Shaojie was staying.
He pulled her in quietly, closed the door, and pinned her against the door.
¡°Were you drinking? You don¡¯t smell like it¡¡±
Before Mu Xiaoxiao could finish saying, he sealed her little mouth with his own.
Yin Shaojie sucked her tender lips before breaking away from her. Then in a hot voice, he said, ¡°Open your mouth.¡±
¡°What are you doing?¡±
After many times of getting intimate with him, how could Xiaoxiao not know what he was trying to do.
What she meant was why was he suddenly doing this?
Yin Shaojie pressed himself against her forehead, and he could clearly smell her youthful, womanly scent, a smell he was obsessed with.
¡°I want to kiss you. Can¡¯t I?¡±
Actually, it was because what Nimo said had triggered him, so now he wanted to prove himself.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed and hit him. ¡°You¡¯re strange. You suddenly pulled me away from Annie just for this?¡±
¡°Can¡¯t I?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s elegant face moved closer to her, almost one centimeter away from her face.
His manly scent encircled her.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart skipped a few beats. For some reason, she thought it was so hot when he went into that sexy mode.
His deep subwoofer-like voice was especially entrancing.

Mu Xiaoxiao had never felt this way about a guy before.
But with Yin Shaojie, not only was she not tired of seeing the same handsome face for 16 years, she felt that he was getting more and more handsome the more she looked at him. It was incredible.
¡°You¡¯re getting distracted. I won¡¯t allow you to think about someone else.¡± Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes as he said bossily. Then he pressed forward and forcibly sealed her little mouth.
He wanted her to think only about him whether it be physically or emotionally.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but smile.
Noticing an opening, Yin Shaojie craftily drilled his hot tongue into her mouth.
He was intoxicated by her sweet and warm little mouth.
The two kissed fiercely. Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help but press his body against hers, his other hand sping her thin waist, as if he were going to knead her into his body.
Their tongues were tangled in her mouth. His tongue rolled about, kissing, and sucking in her sweetness.
As their tongues slid around each other more intensely, Mu Xiaoxiao heard a sound from the door behind her and she was startled, pushing him away.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t want to be interrupted at this time and he kept kissing her.
¡°Ungh mhm!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao tapped his shoulder.
Because her tapping was quite forceful, Yin Shaojie reluctantly pulled away.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s cheeks were red as she said bashfully, ¡°I don¡¯t want to be here.¡±
The helpers often walked around. If they heard sounds at the door, it¡¯d be easy to guess what they were doing in the room.
She didn¡¯t want that!
¡°Let¡¯s go somewhere else, then?¡± Because of the intense kissing, Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice was deep and husky, sounding even more entrancing.
Before she could respond, he had already swept her into his arms and turned around.
Mu Xiaoxiao was kabedonned against the wall and she stared at him, dumbstruck. ¡°You call this somewhere else?¡±
Yin Shaojie smirked devilishly and said, ¡°You¡¯re just afraid that people might hear noises from the door. The wall won¡¯t make noises, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
¡°But¡¡± She was about to say something when Yin Shaojie¡¯s thin lips pressed down lightly against hers, and he said in a deep voice, ¡°Shh. You just need to close your eyes now.¡±
Immediately after saying that Yin Shaojie ced a hot kiss on her lips.
He sucked her lips and the tip of his tongue slid in once again.
Overwhelmed by the heat wave entering her, Mu Xiaoxiao was stupefied. She had even forgotten what she had wanted to say earlier.
This time, Yin Shaojie seemed to be particrly patient as their lips and tongue caressed each other for some time.
Just as Mu Xiaoxiao started enjoying herself, she suddenly felt a breeze near her chest, followed by a surge of warmth.
She couldn¡¯t help but let out a sweet moan.
Yin Shaojie wanted to hear her moan so he reluctantly released her lips.
¡°Xiaoxiao, I want it¡¡±
His maic voice, his eyes as ck as outer space, and the heat that was emanating from him as he pressed himself against her all overwhelming Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s senses. Because of him, she began sinking into depravity.

Mu Xiaoxiao blushed as she looked at him, her bashful eyes watery.
What was this guy talking about?
¡°Hey, your hand¡¡± She gave him a look. The redness had spread to her neck.
Yin Shaojieughed mischievously. ¡°I didn¡¯t finish talking. I want it¡ I want to hear you moan like just now. Don¡¯t restrain yourself.¡±
¡°Bastard!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao knew that he was teasing her and she hit him bashfully.
However, he mped down on her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
¡°Be good,¡± He pacified her, drowning her in the tenderness of his maic voice.
Mu Xiaoxiao buried her head in his neck. Every breath she took was filled with his manly scent.
¡°Don¡¯t. We don¡¯t even know if the soundproofing is good here.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao squirmed. It would be alright if they were at home but they were in someone else¡¯s home. Moreover, there were helpers walking around all the time. They didn¡¯t know how good the soundproofing was in this castle. If they were to be heard, it¡¯d be damn shameful!
¡°You¡¯re really¡ Can¡¯t you be more cooperative?¡± Yin Shaojie was disappointed, arranging the hair near her temples with his long fingers.
Although he was really aching to do something, he was still clear-headed enough to know that they were in someone else¡¯s ce.
How could their first time happen here?
Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head and pecked him on the neck, saying coquettishly, ¡°Be good, okay? We still haven¡¯t settled the matter regarding Annie and Sijue. How can I be in the mood for this? Aren¡¯t you not worried for them?¡±
¡°What¡¯s the point of worrying? I told you. We should just take Annie away. If I were him, I¡¯d do that!¡± Yin Shaojie said disdainfully about Ye Sijue.
Who could watch one¡¯s beloved get engaged with another?
Forget if she said that she didn¡¯t like him, but they clearly liked each other.
Mu Xiaoxiao poked his chest with her finger. ¡°Sigh. I think you are more roguish than Ye Sijue!¡±
¡°Hehe, you don¡¯t know that guy well enough. You think he¡¯s a good person? He just wants to confirm Annie¡¯s feelings first. Perhaps that is what¡¯s most important to him.¡± Yin Shaojie caught her finger and brought it to his lips and kissed it.
¡°It tickles. Stop kissing! And remove that hand of yours!¡± His hand was still wantonly feeling Mu Xiaoxiao under her shirt, throwing her breathing into disarray.
Yin Shaojie raised his eyebrow, looked down at her, and said, ¡°No. It feels so good. Why should I take it out?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was red. ¡°You dirty pervert! What are you saying! Take it out! Let¡¯s leave. I thought of a solution.¡±
¡°Why? I want to stay here with you. Let¡¯s talk about other things tomorrow.¡± With that said, Yin Shaojie held her tightly, trapping her in his arms.
If she was concerned about other things besides his good buddy, or her good friend, Annie, then he would be jealous.
¡°Geez, stop it. the most important thing now is to resolve the problem regarding Annie and Ye Sijue. Don¡¯t you want them to be together?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nudged him.
Finally, Yin Shaojie removed his hand reluctantly and helped her adjust her shirt.
Pouting with his attractive thin-lips, he asked, ¡°Hey, when are you willing to give it to me? Do you want me to keep enduring like this? You¡¯re too cruel!¡±

How could any man remain unmoved when the woman he loved was right in front of him? He could restrain himself for the moment, but it would be very damaging to restrain himself for longer.
Did she want him to suffer like this?
In reality, Mu Xiaoxiao had decided to give herself to him but when she had tried he hadn¡¯t been in the mood.
But now¡
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes darted spiritedly and her pursed lips made a queer smile.
She had already thought about it.
Her birthday was fast approaching¡
She decided to give him a surprise and throw herself an unforgettable birthday.
¡°No more questions! Now is not the time for this! I¡¯ll tell you when we can do it. Come on, let¡¯s leave!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pulled on him.
¡°Wait!¡± Yin Shaojie pulled her back.
¡°What?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked up at him, puzzled.
¡°Let¡¯s kiss again,¡± Yin Shaojie said. His long fingers lifted her chin and he lowered his head to kiss her.
After kissing for a while, her little tongue was going numb from his sucking. He finally let go of her.
Staring nkly, she then recovered her senses. ¡°L-let¡¯s go¡¡±
Yin Shaojie chuckled as he held her back, ¡°Wait.¡±
¡°Wait? You still want to kiss?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pouted as she stared at him.
Yin Shaojie stroked her soft cheeks with his fingers andughed, ¡°No. I don¡¯t want others to see the way you look. Let¡¯s wait here for a bit.¡±
Her cheeks were red from kissing and they looked alluring. How could he let others see her like this, especially after what Nimo said about her?
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t take any chances.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t stop smiling, enjoying the warmth of his embrace.
After a while, the two finally left the room.
¡°Just now you were saying that you thought of a solution. What is it?¡± Yin Shaojie asked as the two held hands.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment. Then she red at him and pped his arm, ¡°I forgot¡ It¡¯s all your fault!¡±
Yin Shaojie was unsure whether tough or to cry, ¡°You have poor memory. How is it my fault?¡±
¡°If you weren¡¯t for you distracting me I would remember! Of course, it¡¯s your fault!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and said.
Yin Shaojie grasped her little hand tightly and said in a pampering manner, ¡°Okay, okay, okay. It¡¯s my fault, alright? Where do you want to go now?¡±
The two arrived at the stairs.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked around and suddenly remembered something. ¡°Ah! I remembered! Come on! Let¡¯s go look for Chris!¡±
¡°For what?¡± Yin Shaojie asked.
¡°I just remembered. I¡¯m gonna do an experiment. I¡¯ll fill you inter.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled as she gave him a smug look.
She dragged Yin Shaojie to find Chris.
After asking a few helpers, they learned that Chris was in the study. The two found the study after being shown the way by helpers.
¡°This castle is pretty big. Someone with no sense of direction would get lost easily, wouldn¡¯t they?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said as they walked up to the door to the study.
Yin Shaojie thought back to what Nimo had said earlier.
Now that he thought about it, she had traveled to America frequently when they were young. Were those trips to meet family?
He didn¡¯t remember her ever mentioning anything off about her family.

Girls were usually amazed upon seeing such a pretty castle for the first time.
However, Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t like that. When she first arrived, she looked as if it were just another castle. The most that she did was just look around.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt her hand being grabbed, so she looked at him uprehendingly. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±
Why did his expression seem a little weird?
¡°Nothing.¡± Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t want her to get suspicious. He forced a smile, curled his finger, and knocked on the thick door.
Chris¡¯s voice came from inside. ¡°Who is it?¡±
¡°It¡¯s me, Yin Shaojie. We¡¯re looking for you,¡± He replied tepidly.
¡°Come in.¡±
Hearing that, Yin Shaojie pushed open the door, holding Mu Xiaoxiao as they went in. Chris stood up and greeted them with a smile.
¡°Is anything the matter?¡± Chris was born royalty so he naturally had an imposing aura. Even if he wore a graceful smile, ordinary people could not help but feel subservient to him.
However, the two standing before him were calm.
Chris¡¯s expression changed subtly.
Although he still didn¡¯t know what Yin Shaojie was capable of, from what Nimo told him, he could tell that Yin Shaojie was definitely a formidable character.
However¡ his gaze fell upon Mu Xiaoxiao instead.
Forget Yin Shaojie. How was this girl able to be soposed?
Because Xiaoxiao was the one who wanted to look for Chris, Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t answer Chris but only looked at Xiaoxiao as he waited for her to speak.
Mu Xiaoxiao let go of Yin Shaojie¡¯s hand and took a step forward. She looked at Chris as she said, ¡°It¡¯s like this. I want to take Annie out. I think she might be missing Chinese food. I know a Chinese restaurant that is really good. I told Annie before that I¡¯d take her there to try it.¡±
This was the best excuse she coulde up with.
Chris looked at her enigmatically. Mu Xiaoxiao thought he might have seen through her. She held her breath, waiting for Chris¡¯s reply.
¡°Okay. Thank you for being so thoughtful to Annie. You two seem like really good friends. I just ask that you twoe back early.¡±
For some reason, Mu Xiaoxiao had a strange feeling when he said ¡°You two seem like really good friends.¡± It was as if there were an implied meaning to it.
¡°Ye Sijue is going with us. Isn¡¯t he sick, too? The Chinese restaurant that we are going to has Chinese herbal soup that could be good for him. ¡±
¡°Of course, do you need me to prepare a car?¡± Chris smiled mildly, his expression enigmatic.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly shook her head. ¡°No need! We have a car already.¡±
Of course they couldn¡¯t use his car. Wouldn¡¯t he know where they were going if they did that?
Chris smiled and said gracefully, ¡°If you need anything, you can let me know.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, we came here with our own car, and luckily, it can seat four people.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled, waved at him, and tugged at Yin Shaojie so they could leave.

After walking some distance away, Yin Shaojie asked, ¡°You said that you wanted to do an experiment. What did you mean by that? You¡¯re not just gonna snatch her away like that, are you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head, touching her lower lip as she said, ¡°The experiment¡ I was just trying to see what he was up to. Don¡¯t you think he¡¯s weird?¡±
Yin Shaojie stared at her, amused. ¡°When did you be so perceptive that you can see through him?¡±
He didn¡¯t believe that she was capable of reading Chris.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°It¡¯s not that. Think about it. I deliberately told him that Ye Sijue is also going with us. I don¡¯t believe that he thinks there¡¯s nothing between Annie and Ye Sijue. How can he be so rxed? Do you think that he has something up his sleeve? I have a vague feeling that he has something nned.¡±
Ever since the first time she saw Chris, she had felt that he was a bit¡ off.
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to have thought of something. Stopping suddenly, her eyes widened as she looked to Yin Shaojie, her voice trembling as she said, ¡°Do you think¡ he might be nning to get rid of Ye Sijue when we go out with him? He could frame us and it¡¯ll have nothing to do with him! And given Annie¡¯s innocent personality, she wouldn¡¯t ever doubt him.¡±
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you imagining things?¡±
¡°Do you think it¡¯s impossible? Think about it, who is Chris? He¡¯s a prince! It would be easy for him to have someone killed. And I¡¯ve seen many like him before. It¡¯s like that¡ that prince from the Emirates! Some of them don¡¯t value human lives! They¡¯ll kill for trivial reasons.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shaking her head, looking serious.
Yin Shaojie reached out and rubbed her head. ¡°Okay, stop over-thinking things. If he¡¯s nning something as you say he is, then he did he take care of Sijue before we arrived. Why let us in at all?¡±
¡°Wasn¡¯t Annie there at the time? He couldn¡¯t deal with him because she¡¯s around. Besides, he might have been observing during that time. He might not know how close Annie and Ye Sijue are with each other. But after Annie nursed him back to he-¡±
Yin Shaojie suddenly stoppered her mouth and looked around.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened as she stared at him, her voice muffled as it came through the gaps in his fingers. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
Yin Shaojie made a shush gesture. ¡°Quiet. Are you forgetting that we are on their turf? You spoke so ill of him. Aren¡¯t you afraid that he might get people to spy on our every move? You¡¯re talking so loudly. Aren¡¯t you afraid that he might find out about your n?¡±
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao shut her mouth nervously, looking around.
Yin Shaojie was amused by the look on her face. He held her little hand and said, ¡°Come on. Let¡¯s get out of here.¡±
¡°Alright. We¡¯ll talk when we get out!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said.
Yin Shaojie smiled. She was just too cute.
He couldn¡¯t help but lift her up and give her a kiss.

¡°Hey! Stop it!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao blocked his mouth with her hand and pushed him away.
Yin Shaojie pouted. ¡°Alright then. We¡¯ll kiss when we get back. Come on.¡±
Thus, the two split up to carry out the n.
Mu Xiaoxiao was responsible for persuading Annie to have dinner with them while Yin Shaojie went to find Ye Sijue.
The four arrived at the living room. Upon seeing that Ye Sijue was going too, Annie was visibly startled and tried to back out.
¡°Um, I guess I should¡¡±
¡°No!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shouted immediately, reading Annie¡¯s mind. She even hugged her arm tightly to prevent her from escaping. ¡°You promised. Don¡¯t go back on your word! Let¡¯s go.¡±
She dragged Annie who had no choice but to go along.
At first, Mu Xiaoxiao was going to let them sit in the back, but she was afraid that Annie would not want that, so she sat behind with Annie while Ye Sijue sat in the front passenger seat.
As soon as the car drove past the castle¡¯s gate, Ye Sijue covered his mouth and coughed a few times.
Annie looked up almost immediately. Sitting behind him, she could see his face from the side mirror.
She was visibly worried.
Mu Xiaoxiao nced at her and deliberately pped the back of Ye Sijue¡¯s seat. ¡°Ye Sijue, are you still alive?¡±
Upon hearing her, Annie turned and shot Xiaoxiao a look as if she were unhappy with what she said.
Ye Sijue coughed a couple of times again and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯ve had my medicine.¡±
¡°So your high fever is subsiding already, right?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao continued to ask as if she wanted Annie to be updated on Ye Sijue¡¯s condition. ¡°You need to be careful. The fever could get worse again.¡±
¡°Alright, I got it,¡± Ye Sijue replied tepidly.
Sitting behind, Annie looked out of the window, her hands on herp were clenched into fists.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°You¡¯re really useless. You weren¡¯t in the pond for very long. How did you end up so ill?¡±
Ye Sijue made noments to her.
Yin Shaojie, who was driving, looked at Xiaoxiao through the rearview mirror and said with a smile, ¡°He hasn¡¯t been sick for several years so don¡¯tugh at him. People are made of flesh and blood. It¡¯s normal to fall sick.¡±
After driving for about half an hour, they still had not reached the bustling district yet. Instead, they were still driving along the woods and hills.
¡°Where is this ce? Yin Shaojie, are you on the wrong route?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao poked her head to look around, trying to look for road signs.
¡°I don¡¯t think so. Am I?¡± Yin Shaojie also acted stupid. ¡°This was the road that we came from. How could we get lost?¡±
¡°It was daytime when we wereing here. It¡¯s dark now. How can you see the road clearly! I think you¡¯re on the wrong route. What should we do?¡±
¡°How can we get lost¡¡±
Before Yin Shaojie could finish saying, the car suddenly screamed to a stop.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eye widened as she tapped on the back of his seat and asked.
Yin Shaojie clenched his fist and brought it to his mouth as he coughed. ¡°It seems like¡ something is wrong with the car.¡±
As he said that, his eyes nced unnaturally at Ye Sijue sitting in the front passenger seat.
Ye Sijue¡¯s face seemed pale, looking more sickly than before.
¡°Let¡¯s get out of the car first,¡± Yin Shaojie said suddenly.

Annie was in a daze, lost in her thoughts, so when she heard that there was a problem with the car, she opened the door and got out without a second thought.
Mu Xiaoxiao saw her, and she nudged and urged Ye Sijue, ¡°Get out!¡±
Even though Ye Sijue was sick, he still had his wits about him and could tell that there was something fishy going on with Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie.
Mu Xiaoxiao opened the door and got out of the car. Then she walked over to the front passenger seat, opened the door, and forced Ye Sijue out of the car.
Ye Sijue red at her.
Standing to the side, Annie was dazed, obviously unaware of what was happening.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat in the front passenger seat, mmed the door shut, and said to them, ¡°You two wait here. We¡¯ll go find help and we¡¯ll be back soon!¡±
With that said, she urged Yin Shaojie to drive.
Ye Sijue frowned slightly. He had already realized what the two were ying at.
He looked at Annie beside him. Perhaps because of his illness, his response was much slower.
Just when he was going to stop Xiaoxiao, the car started and drove away.
¡°Hey!¡± Ye Sijue shouted at the car as it drove off, but yelling agitated his throat and he immediately broke out into a coughing fit.
¡°Stop shouting so loudly. Look at you. You¡¯re coughing again!¡± Annie said.
Ye Sijue turned to look at her.
Annie froze for a moment before saying awkwardly, ¡°Well¡ I¡¯m not caring about you. I was just¡¡±
¡°I know. You don¡¯t have to exin,¡± Ye Sijue said mildly.
Interrupted by Ye Sijue, Annie looked embarrassed. Their eyes met and awkwardness filled the air.
No one was talking.
Annie took a few steps back, drawing some distance between them.
However, Ye Sijue walked up and stood by her side.
Annie looked down as she instinctively tried to move away again, but then she heard Ye Sijue say in a hoarse voice, ¡°Stop moving. Just stand there.¡±
She halted.
After a while, she then realized that he was trying to shield her from the wind.
The wind at night was very cold. The wind had been blowing towards her, so she felt cold initially.
However, she was starting to feel cold again.
Reminded that he was still sick, Annie finally looked up at him. Seeing that the jacket he was wearing was pretty thick, she felt relieved.
She rubbed her hands and asked, ¡°Why isn¡¯t Xiaoxiao back yet? Where did they go?¡±
She still hadn¡¯t realized why Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie left so suddenly after getting them out of the car earlier.
Ye Sijue scanned the road from one end to the other. There were no lights on the road besides the streetmps lighting up the road.
¡°I don¡¯t think they¡¯ll be back,¡± he said bluntly.
¡°Ah?¡± Annie was startled. ¡°Why? Where did they go?¡±
Ye Sijue looked down at her. ¡°You still don¡¯t get it? They purposely left us here.¡±
Annie was speechless.
Why would they do that?
¡°Come on. We can¡¯t stay here.¡± Ye Sijue thought for a moment and decided to keep walking. There was not a single building in sight for at least a few kilometers.
If Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie were not going toe back and pick them up, then they would be standing there forever.
Forever¡
Ye Sijue looked at Annie again.

He suddenly felt that as long as he could be with her, it would be enough for him even if it was on a cold roadside.
Just then, he noticed that Annie grabbed her left arm with her right hand.
Looking at her, he noticed that she wasn¡¯t wearing a thick jacket.
Because he was sick, Yin Shaojie had given him a thick jacket before leaving.
Without asking any questions, Ye Sijue took off his coat and put it over her shoulders.
He had a tall frame and his jacket was veryrge. Itpletely covered her petite figure.
Annie could still clearly feel the warmth from his body.
She stared nkly for a moment, longing returning to her.
But she quickly tried to shake it off, rolling her shoulders as she said, ¡°I¡¯m not cold. You can wear it. You¡¯re still sick.¡±
¡°I¡¯m fine, you wear it.¡± He pressed her shoulder, adjusted the jacket, and buttoned it up to prevent her from taking it off.
But Annie responded in a stubborn manner. She unbuttoned the jacket and took off the jacket. ¡°I don¡¯t want to wear it! I¡¯m not cold. Why should I wear your jacket?¡±
He was still sick, after all.
Moreover, when they were in the car earlier, Xiaoxiao mentioned that although his high fever had subsided, there was a chance it could return.
Thinking back to how pale he looked when he was unconscious with his fever, Annie was seized with sympathy. She didn¡¯t want him to see him like that again.
¡°Keep it on!¡± Ye Sijue looked serious as he said in a strict voice.
¡°I don¡¯t want to! I don¡¯t want to wear it!¡± Annie red at him and tried to take off the jacket. She shouted at him, ¡°You¡¯re still sick, don¡¯t you know that? Idiot! Think about yourself!¡±
¡°I¡¯m not cold.¡±
¡°Who are you kidding!¡± Annie looked at the clothes that he was wearing. After taking off his jacket, he was only left wearing a singleyer. How cold he not be cold?
Ye Sijue watched intently as she panted with rage.
¡°Are you worried about me?¡± he said in a deep voice.
Annie blurted out, ¡°Of course I¡¯m worried!¡±
With that said, she froze and pursed her lips as though she regretted speaking.
Ye Sijue looked a little more cheerful. Smiling faintly, he ced his hand on his chest and said to her, ¡°I feel warm here so I¡¯m not cold.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t believe you¡¡± Annie said.
Staring at her, Ye Sijue thought for a moment and said, ¡°I thought of a way that will keep us both warm, but you may not like it.¡±
¡°What way?¡± Annie asked.
Ye Sijue walked up to her, squatted down, pointing to his back. ¡°Get on my back.¡±
Annie checked out his broad back. It looked very warm and reliable.
However¡
¡°You¡¯re sick¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine. You¡¯re light. I can still carry you. Come on. It seems to be getting colder. We can¡¯t stay here or you¡¯ll get sick too,¡± Ye Sijue urged her.
Annie looked around. They were miles from anywhere. Not a single car had passed them the entire time they had been standing there.
How did Yin Shaojie evene to such a ce?
The best thing to do now was get out of there by themselves.
Thus, she had no choice but to go along with him.

Annie leaned on his back and he stood up, carrying her up.
She quickly gathered the jacket so that she could cover him with it as well. The jacket was big enough to wrap in front of him.
¡°Button it up!¡± she said quickly.
Ye Sijue looked down. It would take some effort to button it up and she wouldn¡¯t feelfortable if he did it.
A thought auddenly came to him. He tried buttoning the jacket but couldn¡¯t.
¡°Lean closer to me,¡± he said softly.
¡°Okay.¡± Annie nodded obediently. She was only worried about him getting sicker so she hugged him tightly, pressing herself against him.
Ye Sijue buttoned up the jacket. Annie hadn¡¯t yet caught onto the fact that her chest was against Ye Sijue¡¯s back.
¡°Do you feel warmer now?¡± Annieid against his back, her lips almost touching his ear.
Her soft, sweet voice roused Ye Sijue.
¡°Mm, yeah,¡± he replied.
Without anyone else there, it was especially quiet aside from the rustling of leaves.
And the sound of her heart beating as she leaned on his back.
Badump, badump, badump¡
After walking for a while, Ye Sijue suddenly stopped. He turned his head slightly. ¡°Are you okay?¡±
¡°Ah? What¡¯s the matter? I¡¯m fine.¡± Annie looked puzzled.
¡°Why is your heart beating so fast then?¡± Ye Sijue asked.
Annie¡¯s blushed slightly.
She stuttered as she tried to gloss over it, ¡°I-it beats by itself. It¡¯s not like I can control it¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s affecting me,¡± Ye Sijue suddenly said in a serious manner.
¡°How does it affect you?¡± Annie didn¡¯t understand him.
However, Ye Sijue made no reply.
Annie was intrigued. She wanted to hear his answer, so she kept waiting.
After waiting for a while, it seemed to her that he had forgotten about the question, so she tapped him, and pressed him for the answer, ¡°Tell me. How does it affect you?¡±
Why would he pique her curiosity but not answer her?
Ye Sijue said in a deep voice, ¡°I¡¯d better not say it because you won¡¯t like the answer.¡±
¡°Why not? Tell me, quickly.¡±
¡°I want to kiss you.¡±
Those words were suddenly blurted out.
Annie was stunned. She wondered if she had misheard him. She asked obtusely, ¡°W-what did you just say¡¡±
¡°I said that I want to kiss you,¡± Ye Sijue repeated himself. Though his voice was hoarse, it was still maic. Thest few words that came from his mouth were especially stirring.
¡°You¡¡± Annie¡¯s face was tinged with red as she didn¡¯t know how to respond.
After confirming what he said earlier, her heart beat even faster.
¡°You wanna know why?¡± Ye Sijue seemed to know what she was thinking.
¡°Why¡¡± She instinctively repeated what he said before realizing that it was weird so she yed dumb. ¡°No. I wasn¡¯t going to ask you that.¡±
What was up with his logic? Why did he want to kiss her after hearing her heartbeat?
Ye Sijue said, ¡°Because when I listen to your heartbeat¡¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to hear it! Stop telling me, alright?¡± Annie interrupted him anxiously, afraid of what he might say.

Ye Sijue didn¡¯t finish his sentence and changed the subject. ¡°So do you want to know what I¡¯m thinking about now?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to know!¡± Annie said in a fluster.
Ye Sijue gazed into the distance and he said in a deep voice, ¡°I was thinking¡ how great it would be if there were no end to this road.¡±
With that said, as though he didn¡¯t care what she thought, he continued carrying her, walking quietly.
Annie stared at the back of his head, unable to calm the waves in her heart.
They were both silent.
Even after walking for a while the scenery hadn¡¯t changed.
She wondered when they would ever return. Though Annie was the one who was being carried, she was worried about Ye Sijue, so she couldn¡¯t rx.
¡°Are¡ you tired?¡± she said softly.
¡°I¡¯m not tired,¡± Ye Sijue replied mildly.
Annie pursed her lips. She was going to ask him to let her down, but upon recalling his tough attitude earlier, it seemed pointless.
But as she thought about it, her hand was already tapping his shoulder subconsciously.
Ye Sijue looked back at her out of the corner of his eye and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±
¡°No¡¡± Annie was about to reply when a dazzling light appeared down the road. She blocked the light with her hand and shouted, ¡°Careful, up front!¡±
It turned out to be a heavy motorcycle. The sound of the engine came from a distance but it was moving towards them, growingrger andrger by the second.
Ye Sijue frowned.
No, there was not just one. There were many of them!
The people on the motorcycles were yelling. As if they couldn¡¯t see the two, they drove straight at them.
¡°C-careful!¡± Annie was frightened upon hearing their screams. Her eyes widened as she tugged at Ye Sijue¡¯s shirt.
Ye Sijue was thinking about how to avoid them when dizziness came over him and his vision went dark for a moment.
Dammit!
He staggered forward and quickly steadied himself.
But it was toote. The heavy motorcycle was about to hit them. The rider wasn¡¯t nervous and screamed excitedly instead.
Without a choice, Ye Sijue braced himself, carrying Annie as he jumped toward the slope by the roadside.
Immediately after jumping, he turned and held Annie firmly in his arms, one hand protecting her head as they tumbled down.
Amidst the sound of wind at night, a faint ¡®ow¡¯ was heard.
The group of heavy motorcycles whizzed past.
Rolling to the bottom of the slope, they finally came to a stop.
Annie was in shock and her entire body was trembling.
¡°Xiaomeng, are you okay?¡± A ck shadow came over her. He panted as he checked if she was alright.
Two warm palms cupped her face.
Annie¡¯s eyes shook and they finally focused on his face. It was very dark at the bottom of the slope. She couldn¡¯t see his facial features, but she could clearly see his eyes. They were filled with worry for her.
¡°I¡ I¡¯m fine.¡± she whispered. She still looked scared.

¡°Are you injured?¡± Ye Sijue didn¡¯t care about the trivial things anymore. He touched her with his palm to check if she was hurt.
If he didn¡¯t check her, he was afraid that she would hide the injuries from him and not tell him about them.
¡°N-no!¡± Feeling him touching her, Annie knew that he was simply checking if she was hurt but she was still embarrassed, so she pushed his arm away.
¡°Really? Don¡¯t lie to me.¡± Ye Sijue¡¯s brow wrinkled as he grabbed her wrist.
Annie nodded. ¡°I¡¯m really fine. What about you?¡±
He had guarded her as they rolled down. Moreover, the hill had grass on it, so it hadn¡¯t injured them.
Annie worriedly grabbed his hand and asked, ¡°Are you injured?¡±
Ye Sijue shook his head. ¡°No.¡±
He looked around, pushing himself as he stood up. Then he pulled her up.
¡°Jacket¡¡± Annie touched her shoulder and realized that the jacket was gone.
They weren¡¯t injured perhaps thanks to the jacket. But they didn¡¯t know where the jacket went.
¡°Could the jacket be at the top of the slope?¡± She looked up the slope. Although there were street lights above, the lights were too far away so it was dark.
Annie was very scared of the dark. If she weren¡¯t with Ye Sijue, she would have cried from fright.
Ye Sijue could feel the cold wind blowing against his body and he frowned.
The jacket was gone. Bad news for them.
¡°Forget it. Let¡¯s get out of here first.¡± It was best to keep moving.
Annie nodded in agreement. ¡°Yeah, let¡¯s get out of here first.¡±
She was about to walk forward when she staggered and fell forward. Fortunately, Ye Sijue was standing in front of her, so she fell straight into his arms.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Ye Sijue¡¯s worried voice came from above her head.
Annie¡¯s face flushed as she hastily exined, ¡°It¡¯s not on purpose.¡±
He¡¯d better not get the wrong idea and think that she was throwing herself into his arms.
¡°Is your leg injured?¡± Ye Sijue was instead worried about her.
Annie felt her thigh and said, ¡°I¡¯m not injured. It¡¯s just¡ my legs are jelly.¡±
She was still quite shaken.
Ye Sijue didn¡¯tugh at her and said nothing for a while. Then he squatted down in front of her, ¡°Come on. I¡¯ll carry you.¡±
¡°No need¡¡± Annie shook her head.
¡°Come on. Or would you rather we stay here in the cold wind? Aren¡¯t you afraid that a snake mighte out and bite you? Hurry up,¡± Ye Sijue said in a tough manner.
His questions scared Annie.
Firstly, he was still ill. Wouldn¡¯t his condition worsen if he continued to expose himself to the cold wind? What if his fever returned?
Secondly, Annie was very scared of snakes!
So she had no choice but to obedientlyy on his back again.
Ye Sijue carried her up and said, ¡°Plus, this way, we can help each other to keep warm.¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Annie nodded. She thought for a moment, and then she hugged him tightly.

¡°There seems to be a path there. Let¡¯s get out through that,¡± said Ye Sijue.
¡°Okay.¡± Annie nodded again. The cold air blew again, and feeling chilly, she snuggled her neck closer against his instinctively. Their necks now looked as though they were entwined.
Ye Sijue turned his head sideways slightly. Even though he couldn¡¯t see her, he could feel her breath on his skin.
He continued walking with her on his back.
Meanwhile.
On a fork in the road nearby, Mu Xiaoxiao was watching them from a hidden spot. Upon seeing the pair fall, she cried out and wanted to get out of the car to help them.
¡°Wait.¡± Yin Shaojie stopped her.
¡°What¡¯re you doing? We have to hurry up and go save them! What if they¡¯re hurt?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was extremely worried and regretteding up with such a bad idea.
Yin Shaojie eyeballed the slope. ¡°Sijue is capable of protecting Xiaomeng on such a slope. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡±
If Ye Sijue couldn¡¯t even protect Annie from a fall, he didn¡¯t deserve her.
Moreover, they couldn¡¯t just abandon a n that had already been set in motion.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him, conflicted. ¡°Are we supposed to just continue watching them? But I¡¯m really worried about them¡¡±
Yin Shaojie thought for a while before proposing apromise. ¡°The road should be essible there. We¡¯ll drive over there and observe them. We¡¯ll intervene if they get into danger.¡±
¡°Okay,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao agreed.
After driving away from their spot, they circled around from the other side in darkness, without turning on the headlights and interior lights. They parked the car at another fork in the road to prevent Ye Sijue from spotting them.
It was very dangerous to drive in the dark. If there were any pits in front of them, they would have no idea.
However, Yin Shaojie seemed to possess night vision, for he drove steadily.
¡°They¡¯re right in front.¡± Yin Shaojie stopped the car slowly and pointed.
¡°Where?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked surprised. She looked into the darkness in front of her, but she couldn¡¯t see anything.
¡°I can¡¯t see anything. I can¡¯t see anything at all!¡±
¡°Shh, lower your voice.¡± Yin Shaojie reminded her.
Mu Xiaoxiao stuck her tongue out and leaned her whole body towards him. In a low whisper, she said, ¡°Where are they? How are you able to see them when I can¡¯t?¡±
It was really dark in front and she couldn¡¯t see anything. How did he do it?
¡°It¡¯s normal for you to be unable to see it. I¡¯ll just tell you that they¡¯re right in front and they seem to be fine. They¡¯re standing and talking to each other. Right now, Sijue is carrying Xiaomeng and they look like they¡¯re about to set off,¡± he narrated a livementary.
She blinked her dumbfounded eyes. ¡°How are you able to see them? Is your night sight so good that you can see what they¡¯re doing?¡±
It made her feel like she were blind!
Yin Shaojie only smiled, not offering any exnation.
¡°Let¡¯s wait for them to get further before we follow them,¡± he said.
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, her arm resting on the center console. Subconsciously, she leaned towards him again.
Yin Shaojie looked at her.

She was really close to him and he could see her profile in the darkness.
Their lips would touch if she just turned her head.
He grinned, anticipating the moment.
At such close quarters, the only thing he could smell was her.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao continued to look outside and seemed to not have noticed him.
Yin Shaojie pursed his lips. He called out faintly, ¡°Xiaoxiao.¡±
¡°Hm?¡± As he expected, Mu Xiaoxiao turned around instinctively.
His lips were already on standby.
Her lips thus met his unexpectedly.
Mu Xiaoxiao froze.
Yin Shaojie smirked slightly and didn¡¯t move, maintaining his posture with her lips against his.
Mu Xiaoxiao moved backwards and hit him. Comining, she eximed, ¡°You did that on purpose!¡±
¡°Aiyoh!¡± Yin Shaojie called out suddenly.
¡°Did I hit you?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was a little shocked and asked worriedly.
She only wanted to hit his shoulder or chest as per usual. It had already be a habit.
However, it was too dark and she couldn¡¯t see anything and thus she didn¡¯t know if she had hit him in the wrong ce.
¡°It hurts, rub it for me,¡± Yin Shaojie said in a pitiful voice as he grabbed her little hand and ced it against his chest.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt guilty. Thus, sheplied with whatever he wanted.
After massaging his chest for a while, she then realized something and snatched her hand away.
¡°That¡¯s not right; I didn¡¯t even use a lot of force. It shouldn¡¯t be that painful even if I hit your chest.¡± She thought she had hit his eyes or something earlier.
¡°Who said it wasn¡¯t painful? It hurt!¡± Yin Shaojie insisted.
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him and pushed his chest away. ¡°I¡¯m going to ignore you!¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled lightly. With one hand on the steering wheel, he leaned his entire body close to hers and teased, ¡°Why are you ignoring me?¡±
Even if Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t see him, she could feel his aura.
¡°You¡¯re some. Why are you still fooling around now? Aren¡¯t you afraid for Annie and Ye Sijue? Oh yeah, have they gotten far? Hurry up and follow them!¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t think so. ¡°Ye Sijue is carrying her. Even if they walk off, they won¡¯t be able to get far.¡±
If he guessed correctly, Ye Sijue was probably looking for a path.
Thus, they would be able to locate the two of them easily if they drove on.
¡°Stop dilly dallying. Hurry up and drive.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao raised her hand to hit him again, but put it down.
Helpless, Yin Shaojie turned his gaze to the front once more.
However, there was no sign of them in his field of vision.
He drove slowly, thinking that he could catch up with them.
However, when he got back on the road, there was still no sign of Ye Sijue and Annie at all.
They were finally at a ce with streetlights. Mu Xiaoxiao looked around for them frantically. ¡°Where are they?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression turned grave. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief as she red at him. ¡°You don¡¯t know? Who was the one who said that they wouldn¡¯t get far?¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned, obviously perplexed by this situation as well.
Logically, going by what he knew of Ye Sijue, he should have returned to the main road by now.
Where were they?

¡°Y-Ye Sijue¡ Why are we walking this way?¡± Their surroundings were getting darker as he walked, which made Annie scared. It was especially so since she couldn¡¯t see what was in front of her and could only hug Ye Sijue¡¯s neck.
She was puzzled. They had seen some streetlights earlier. Why didn¡¯t he walk there?
¡°Shh.¡± Ye Sijue turned his head slightly. His low voice seemed to speak beside her ear as he said, ¡°There¡¯s someone following us.¡±
Annie froze. ¡°Someone¡¯s¡¡±
Afraid that she would cry out, Ye Sijue lifted a hand to cover her mouth.
Annie¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. She tapped at his hand, and whispered after he moved it away, ¡°How do you know that someone is following us?¡±
¡°It¡¯s a gut feeling,¡± Ye Sijue answered in a low voice.
It didn¡¯t feel right for Annie to ask if his gut feelings were urate since they had alreadye all the way here.
¡°But¡ where are we going now?¡± She was getting more and more scared. Her fingers were pinching his arm, and she didn¡¯t want to go any further.
They were enveloped in the darkness.
There had been a sliver of moonlight earlier, but it was now covered by a cloud, causing their surroundings to look even darker.
Annie was really scared of the dark. Her thoughts couldn¡¯t help but to run wild, and she wondered if there were any ghosts or poisonous snakes around.
She tensed up suddenly, and spoke out, her voice uneven. ¡°I-I¡ I think I heard a rustling noise. Can we get out of here quickly?¡±
She felt really scared!
Ye Sijue could feel her trembling. Reaching out, he held her arm andforted her. ¡°It¡¯s alright. It¡¯s just the leaves rustling in the wind. Let¡¯s walk faster and get through this ce.¡±
He didn¡¯t know who the stalker was, but he was going to throw them off.
It was then that he regretted not preventing Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s n. Moreover, their phones were all in their car and they couldn¡¯t call for help at all.
They could only save themselves now.
¡°Okay.¡± Annie nodded.
He continued walking with her on his back.
Finally, they got out of the forest after a few minutes.
The path before them was clear now and there was even a fancy house in front of them. Annie was delighted. ¡°There¡¯s a house!¡±
With civilization came help.
They could borrow a phone or a car from someone.
¡°Let¡¯s go over and take a look.¡± Ye Sijue was frowning slightly. Their situation wasn¡¯t that optimistic, for the house in front of them wasn¡¯t lit up, which meant that there was either no one there.
When they reached the front of the house, Annie patted him and said, ¡°Put me down.¡±
Ye Sijue put her down.
Annie rushed to the door of the house and knocked on it. ¡°Is anyone there? Is anyone there?¡±
However, there was no response.
She immediately became dejected. ¡°Could it be that the owner of the house hasn¡¯t returned? But it¡¯s already sote¡¡±
It had already been past eight when they first left, so it must be past nine now. Americans usually returned home early and if the owners had children, they would already be in bed by now.
Ye Sijue walked over, trying to gather information through the window.
He swept a gaze across the front yard and said, ¡°They can¡¯t be still out at this time. I think they¡¯re on vacation.¡±

¡°What should we do?¡± Annie followed him timidly, not daring to stray far from him.
They had no chance of borrowing a phone from the homeowner since they weren¡¯t in.
Their hopes of getting saved were now dashedpletely.
¡°Come over here.¡± Ye Sijue looked at her, took her little hand and pulled her over to the backyard.
Just then, a chilly breeze blew and Annie shrank into herself.
The wind in the forest wasn¡¯t really strong, but now that they were in an open area, it felt really cold.
It was also because of this that his hands felt really, really warm.
Annie gripped his hand instinctively.
Their fingers intertwined.
Ye Sijue felt the movement. He looked down and smiled lightly.
The pair walked to the backyard.
¡°There¡¯s a light here!¡± Annie was walking along the wall, and saw an oilmp hanging on the wall.
¡°But we don¡¯t have a lighter¡¡± she said gloomily.
Ye Sijue reached out to touch themp, and walked up the steps of the house.
Annie was about to sit down when Ye Sijue said, ¡°Wait.¡±
She looked at him uprehendingly.
Ye Sijue then took out a piece of cloth from somewhere. cing it down, he said, ¡°You can sit now.¡±
Annie felt a warmth flood her heart as she sat down.
¡°But, if we light themp, won¡¯t the people who are following us discover us?¡± She asked in a low, worried voice.
Ye Sijue looked around. ¡°They probably won¡¯t know which part of the forest we exited from. Also, there are people living here. If they see a light, they¡¯ll think that it¡¯s from the house. Hack, hack!¡±
¡°Why are you coughing?¡± Annie asked, afraid that his illness had worsened.
Ye Sijue turned his head sideways in the dark, avoiding her gaze. After rearranging his features, he then turned to look at her and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±
Annie didn¡¯t believe him. ¡°You aren¡¯t fine¡ª Achoo!¡±
Unexpectedly, she sneezed.
¡°Have you caught a cold?¡± Ye Sijue reached out to ce a hand on her forehead. He frowned. ¡°Why are you so cold?¡±
¡°I think you¡¯re too warm. Are you feverish again?¡± Annie pulled his hand down and reached out to test his temperature.
However, Ye Sijue moved away.
¡°I¡¯m not feverish. You¡¯re just cold from the cold wind.¡± Ye Sijue Ye Sijue took her into his arms and rubbed her arms.
Even though Annie suspected that there was something wrong, she still couldn¡¯t help but snuggled into his embrace.
She asked in a choked voice, ¡°Will we freeze to death?¡±
¡°We¡¯d only freeze to death if there was snow, so no,¡± Ye Sijueforted her gently.
He looked back at the back door of the house and his gaze changed.
¡°Wait here.¡±
¡°Where are you going? Don¡¯t leave me!¡± Annie grasped his sleeve subconsciously, not wanting him to leave.
¡°I¡¯ll be right here; I¡¯m no going anywhere. You can let me go,¡± Ye Sijue assured. He caressed her cheeks with his broad palms and kissed her forehead gently.
Annie hesitated but still didn¡¯t let go and instead tightened her grip. She shook her head. ¡°No.¡±
Even though she didn¡¯t know what he wanted to do, she didn¡¯t want to separate from him.
Ye Sijue thought for a while. Embracing her as he stood, he said, ¡°Stand here. You¡¯ll be able to see me then.¡±

Annie looked at him, puzzled.
She then saw him walking to the back door. He reached out to twist the doorknob before taking a step back.
¡°Cover your ears,¡± he said.
Annie didn¡¯t understand why but stillplied.
Ye Sijue cupped a hand over his mouth and coughed once. Taking a deep breath, he kicked the door with his long legs twice.
Watching the scene unfold, Annie¡¯s eyes widened in shock. ¡°You¡¡±
Was he trying to break in?
T-That was illegal!
Having kicked the door a few times, Ye Sijue felt a little dizzy. He stopped,posed himself, and continued.
Annie was too shocked to stop him as he kicked the door down.
Goodness gracious¡
Even though the door was made of wood, it was still unbelievable that it had been knocked down with a few kicks.
She had thought that things like this only happened in movies.
Ye Sijue returned to her side and held her hand. ¡°Let¡¯s go in.¡±
Annie had always been a moral person. She felt a little ufortable entering a house that had been broken into. It felt like a burry.
However, she still let herself be dragged inside.
After entering the house,
¡°The family that¡¯s living here looks like they¡¯ve been out for a few days,¡± Ye Sijue said, before coughing into a curled fist.
In this quiet space, his cough sounded very loud.
Annie heard it. A wave of heartache passed through her heart, and she knew that his illness had worsened, even though he was adamant that he was fine. He probably didn¡¯t want her to worry, but thinking about this made her heart ache even more.
She tightened her grip on his hand.
¡°Let¡¯s turn on the lights first,¡± Ye Sijue said. He wanted to let go of her hand but she grasped it even tighter now.
Ye Sijue paused but didn¡¯t say a word. Just like that, he held her hand as he went around looking for the light switch.
He found the light switch and turned it on. The entire room was now flooded with light.
However, he turned it off in the next second.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Annie asked him uprehendingly.
¡°¡ It¡¯s too bright. The people following us will notice it. I think we¡¯d better use the oilmp,¡± Ye Sijue exined.
Annie didn¡¯t suspect anything, but thought what he said made sense. She nodded and said, ¡°Okay, but we don¡¯t have a lighter. Should we turn on the light to search for one first?¡±
¡°I found one already,¡± Ye Sijue said as he took out a lighter from a cab beside them.
Annie was puzzled. ¡°How did you find it so quickly?¡±
Ye Sijue smiled but didn¡¯t say anything as he flicked the lighter.
A red me lit up instantly.
Annie was really happy that she could finally see again. She held up the oilmp and let him light it.
Even though the oilmp wasn¡¯t as bright as the house lights, it was better than being unable to see her fingers in the dark.
¡°Go close the curtains,¡± Ye Sijue instructed.
Annie replied without thinking, ¡°Okay, okay!¡±
She then ran over to close the curtains.
Ye Sijue turned his head and looked down. He frowned at the blood on the floor.
He didn¡¯t know when he had be injured,and had not noticed that he was bleeding.
It might be because¡ his focus had only been on her.
Chapter 1180 - She Didn’t Want to Separate from Him (4)
Chapter 1180: She Didn¡¯t Want to Separate from Him (4)

Annie moved quickly. After closing the curtains, she ran back and even announced cutely, ¡°I¡¯ve close all the curtains!¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Ye Sijue took a step forward smoothly, blocking the bloodstains behind him.
Annie looked at him. ¡°Ye Sijue, why do you look¡ so pale?¡±
¡°It might be because of the lighting,¡± Ye Sijue lied unconvincingly.
Annie wasn¡¯t stupid. ¡°How can this warm light make you look pale? Don¡¯t lie to me. Are you feeling feverish again?¡±
This time, she was determined to test his temperature.
Ye Sijue was afraid that she would notice the blood on his injured arm, and thus could only raise the other hand to stop her.
However, he couldn¡¯t beat her to it and thus let her feel him.
Annie paused her movement as she remembered that her hand was icy cold. She touched it to her cheek to warm it first before reaching out to touch him.
¡°You seem a little hot!¡± She determined.
¡°No, that¡¯s just your imagination. I¡¯ll let you touch me again once you¡¯ve warmed up,¡± said Ye Sijue. Changing the topic, he said, ¡°Go to the room and see if there are any clothes to change into.¡±
Annie felt a little ufortable. ¡°That¡¯s not a good idea¡¡±
They had already broken in. Wouldn¡¯t they be burrs if they took things that didn¡¯t belong to them?
¡°I wouldn¡¯t mind if you wanted to stay here,¡± Ye Sijue said mildly.
Annie thought that he made sense. They couldn¡¯t just stay here forever, and had to think of how to get back. Even if Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie returned to look for them, they might not be able to find them.
If they wanted to go back, they had to wear warmer clothes for it was very cold outside.
It was especially important for him to wear something warm. What were they going to do if he got a high fever again?
Annie was wavering between what she should do, but upon considering Ye Sijue¡¯s health, she came to a decision.
She nodded and said, ¡°Okay. I¡¯ll go in to look for clothes.¡±
Now that she was in the room, Ye Sijue cleaned up the blood.
However, a wave of dizziness overcame him as he squatted down and he almost fainted.
Luckily, he didn¡¯t give in to the darkness.
He bit his lip, and the pain made him regain his senses quickly.
After wiping the blood, he then tried to find something to stop the bleeding.
His wound was unexpectedlyrge. If Annie saw it, she would freak out.
Ye Sijue had been lucky enough to conceal it in time.
Because he didn¡¯t know when Annie was going toe out, he could only deal with it haphazardly.
Unexpectedly, Annie screamed.
Ye Sijue¡¯s heart clenched as he rushed over.
Annie ran out of the room, knocking into him.
She looked terrified as she jumped into his embrace. Pointing at the room, she eximed, ¡°Snake! Snake! There¡¯s a snake inside!¡±
¡°Why would there be snakes in the room?¡± Ye Sijue frowned.
Annie nodded, trembling. ¡°There are really snakes inside. They¡¯re all in a cage, and there are a lot of them!¡±
Ye Sijue patted her backfortingly. ¡°They¡¯re in cages, so they won¡¯te out. Don¡¯t be scared.¡±
Could this homeowner be a snake enthusiast?
He thought for a while before turning on the room¡¯s light. Walking in, he saw that there was indeed a cage filled with coiling snakes.
What made it frightening was that they were all venomous!
Annie grabbed at his shirt in fear. In a soft voice, she said, ¡°I remember in horror movies, when there is a serial killer¡ do you think the owner of this house is¡¡±
Chapter 1181 - At the Crossroads of Life and Death (1)

Ye Sijue looked at her. He didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry as he said, ¡°I don¡¯t think so. Maybe the owner just likes snakes.¡±
¡°I just feel really uneasy¡¡± Annie tugged at him, trying to get him to leave.
Her hair stood on end when she looked at the snakes.
¡°We really shouldn¡¯t stay here. Leave and close the door behind us.¡± He led her out of the room.
Annie still had her reservations and looked around. ¡°Do you think there are snakes in the other rooms? I keep feeling as though a snake will jump up from out of nowhere!¡±
¡°That won¡¯t happen,¡± said Ye Sijue.
Annie looked up at him. ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t it? It¡¯s hard to tell what might happen. The owner keeps so many snakes. Who knows, one might have escaped.¡±
Ye Sijue met her eyes. Smiling, he said, ¡°You said that a snake might jump out suddenly. Snakes can¡¯t jump, so your fears regarding this are invalid.¡±
Annie looked at him. ¡°Are¡ Are you joking with me?¡±
How could joke at a time like this?
¡°Yeah, I was joking so that you¡¯d rx and not be so tense. Even though the snakes look dangerous, we¡¯ll be fine so long we don¡¯t get close to them. We¡¯re not staying here overnight anyway, so let¡¯s hurry up and find some clothes so that we can leave,¡± said Ye Sijue.
However, he was concerned about her safety so he stayed with her.
Annie was still frightened, and thus hid behind him.
Ye Sijue opened the door to another room. It was dark inside. Holding up the oilmp, he noted that it was a bedroom and rxed.
¡°Go pick out some clothes.¡± He steered her forward and gestured in the direction of the wardrobe.
Going by the objects on the dresser, it was obvious that there were women in the house.
However, Western girls were usually taller, and their clothes might not fit Annie, who was petite.
Annie said, ¡°You sound like we¡¯re going shopping for clothes.¡±
Please, they were stealing someone¡¯s clothes right now.
How could he announce such a statement so openly?
¡°Are you not afraid of the snakes anymore? You don¡¯t want to leave anymore?¡± he asked, looking at he, amused.
Annie thought for a while. The most important thing was to leave, and not think about whether they were stealing.
¡°Should we turn on the lights?¡± she asked.
Ye Sijue looked at the window opposite them.
There were no windows in the room with the snakes earlier, and thus it didn¡¯t matter if they turned on the lights as no one would be able to see it. However, there were windows in this room. If they switched on the lights, anyone outside would discover that there was someone home.
After thinking about it for a couple of seconds, he said, ¡°I don¡¯t think we should. I¡¯ll hold the light for you, so hurry up and look for your clothes.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Annie didn¡¯t think about it carefully, for he had his own reasons for whatever he said.
She didn¡¯t need to think about anything with him around.
Annie opened the wardrobe. She was greeted by the sight of men¡¯s clothing, and thought that they might belong to the male homeowner.
She was about to close the door and open the other wardrobe when she looked down. There was something weird there and it was lifted its head to look at her.
Annie froze instantly.
¡°Snake¡¡±
Chapter 1182 - At the Crossroads of Life and Death (2)
Chapter 1182: At the Crossroads of Life and Death (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°What?¡± She had spoken too softly, and Ye Sijue couldn¡¯t hear her clearly.
Annie swallowed and repeated in a trembling voice, ¡°Snake¡¡±
This time, Ye Sijue heard her clearly.
His expression became grave and he said in a stern voice, ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡±
Snakes were short-sighted, so as long as one didn¡¯t move, it wouldn¡¯t be able to detect anything in front.
¡°I¡¯m so scared¡¡± Annie¡¯s cried. Her hand holding on to the wardrobe¡¯s door was trembling too.
Because of what he said earlier, she didn¡¯t even dare to lift her head gazing into the snake¡¯s eyes, watching it flick its tongue.
However, that filled her with even more apprehension. She felt as though the snake were going to leap at her at any second.
¡°How far away is it from you?¡± Ye Sijue asked calmly.
¡°R-Really close.¡± Annie could no longer speak calmly. She was stuttering as she whimpered, ¡°It looks like it¡¯s going to bite me soon. What should I do? Ye Sijue, hurry up and save me. I-It looks like a cobra¡¡±
As she was speaking, the cobra raised itself higher and red its hood, as if trying to scare her. It looked terrifying.
Annie almost screeched in fear, but gritted her teeth and swallowed it. Her petite frame trembled even more violently now.
¡°What do I do? It looks like it has seen me¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t move. Don¡¯t move at all,¡± Ye Sijue reminded. Disregarding all other dangers, he turned on the room light.
He then started walking over to her immediately.
Judging by the size of the wardrobe, the distance between her and the snake was indeed very small.
If she turned around to run, and the snake jumped at her, she might not be able to avoid it.
A cobra¡
It was the world¡¯s most famous venomous snake. If its bite was not treated in time, one could die in half an hour to an hour¡¯s time.
Ye Sijue¡¯s already pale handsome face was even whiter now.
If they were bitten by the snake in their current situation, their chance of survival wouldn¡¯t be high, for they wouldn¡¯t be able to get to the hospital right away.
Thus, they absolutely couldn¡¯t get bitten.
They had to move very carefully.
Annie was frightened out of her mind. She had never encountered something like this in her entire life.
No one would be able to remain calm in the face of death, especially not a delicate little girl like her.
¡°Ye Sijue¡¡± She was about to cry.
¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. I¡¯m here. You¡¯ll be fine. I won¡¯t let it bite you. Don¡¯t move. Don¡¯t move a muscle,¡± Ye Sijue calmed her in a gentle voice.
Annie¡¯s heart, which was beating rapidly from fear, seemed to calm down a little at his assurance.
Ye Sijue walked a little closer. He could finally see the snake as he stood beside her.
It was indeed a cobra¡
He didn¡¯t know why a snake was inside a wardrobe. Could it be that the owner had deliberately put it there?
If so, the homeowner might have ced their valuables in the wardrobe along with the snake to guard them.
They were unexpectedly unlucky.
Ye Sijue¡¯s face became even paler and he regretted his actions.
If he had known this would happen, he would have left the house the moment he found the venomous snakes.
After all, feelings of foreboding were extremely urate.
They were in a dire situation right now. Annie was too close to the cobra.
Chapter 1183 - At the Crossroads of Life and Death (3)
Chapter 1183: At the Crossroads of Life and Death (3)

The cobra flicked its tongue and moved forward.
Annie was frightened. Trembling violently, she screeched, ¡°AH!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t shout loudly,¡± Ye Sijue reminded her sternly, but his pupils were quivering. His eyes were observing the distance between her and the snake, trying to determine how he could get her to safety.
If she was bitten, her life would be over.
That was the only thing that was going through his mind right now.
¡°A-Aren¡¯t snakes deaf¡ It can¡¯t hear me, right?¡± Annie whispered.
Even though snakes were deaf and couldn¡¯t hear, they could detect vibrations from loud noises.
Thus, the best thing to do was to remain still and maintain her posture.
¡°Stop the trembling in your hand.¡± Ye Sijue was talking about her hand that was grabbing the wardrobe¡¯s door.
Annie was about to cry. ¡°I can¡¯t do it¡¡±
She didn¡¯t want to tremble either!
It was natural to tremble when faced with a venomous snake like a cobra.
The snake was flicking its tongue at her threateningly and it looked really scary.
¡°May I let go of the wardrobe then?¡± she asked carefully.
¡°No. Anyway, just don¡¯t move.¡± Ye Sijue was being exceeding careful. A single mistake could end her life.
¡°But¡¡± She didn¡¯t want to move, but her hand was trembling so badly that the wardrobe was shaking as well.
Ye Sijue said, ¡°Let me think about it.¡±
¡°Hurry up and think¡¡± Annie said, annoyed with him.
Ye Sijue¡¯s heart ached for her. He wished that their positions were reversed.
His gaze turned icy as he told her sternly. ¡°It¡¯s going to be okay. Just follow what I say, alright?¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Annie nodded. She looked like she trusted himpletely.
She knew that he would find a way to save her.
¡°I¡¯ll count to three, and I¡¯ll think of something to distract it. Just focus on running away when I count to one. Do you hear me?¡± Ye Sijue said calmly as he fixed his stare at the snake, terrified that it would suddenly lunge for her.
¡°Okay. I hear you.¡± Annie pursed her lips and nodded.
¡°I¡¯ll start counting¡¡± Ye Sijue grabbed a rod-like thing and moved closer to where her legs were.
Knocking on the floor, he drawled, ¡°Three¡ Two¡ One!¡±
When the snake moved its head away, he shouted hastily, ¡°RUN!¡±
Annie¡¯s eyes widened in fear. She emptied her mind of all other thoughts and tried to run when he shouted thest number.
However, her legs had turned into jelly due to fear so she couldn¡¯t run at all.
She staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Ye Sijue reached out to pull her up, but saw the cobra¡¯s jaws widen. It leapt towards her.
Sh*t!
He had no time to think. His hand had already reached out.
¡°Psst!¡± He gasped as the Cobra bit down.
¡°GO!¡± Ye Sijue hauled her up and dragged her out of the room. He mmed the door shut.
Then, he fell down onto the floor with a thud.
Chapter 1184 - At the Crossroads of Life and Death (4)

¡°Ye Sijue!¡± Annie cried out. She saw the two bloody holes in his hand and inhaled sharply in fear, cupping a hand over her mouth.
¡°My goodness¡ How did this happen¡ What should we do¡¡±
He had been bitten by the cobra!
Ye Sijue had lost a fair amount of blood earlier, and he was still sick. In addition, the venom from the bite was coursing through him, causing him to almost faint.
Annie was trembling violently. She fell down beside him and looked at the two bloody holes helplessly.
Darkly-tinged blood was flowing out and it looked horrific.
¡°What do we do¡ what do we do¡¡± She was so frantic that cold sweat broke out on her forehead and her pale face looked as though the sky had fallen.
The person who had been holding the sky up for her, Ye Sijue, had copsed.
If this continued, he would die¡
The words ¡°he would die¡± shed in Annie¡¯s mind and she felt as though her heart were going to stop.
No¡
He couldn¡¯t die!
Annie was panicking when an idea shed across her mind.
She gripped Ye Sijue¡¯s arm forcefully, intending to lower her head and suck the venom out.
¡°No¡ are you crazy?¡± Ye Sijue, who was about to faint, gritted his teeth and held on. In a weak voice, he tried to stop her suicidal action.
¡°I-I¡¯m helping you!¡± she stuttered.
Ye Sijue¡¯s eyelids were about to close and he looked as though he were about to faint at any moment.
He bit his lip hard, trying to use the pain to stay conscious.
¡°That¡¯s not going to work¡ It¡¯s just something that¡¯s seen on TV. You¡¯ll be poisoned too¡¡± His voice was getting weaker and weaker.
¡°I¡¯m not afraid. I don¡¯t care if I get poisoned!¡± Annie said resolutely. Tears fell from her wet eyes as she gazed at him.
¡°You won¡¯t be able to get rid of the poison and you¡¯ll be poisoned too¡ are you trying to die with me?¡± Ye Sijueughed. He hadn¡¯t imagined that he couldugh when he was at death¡¯s door.
Annie blurted, ¡°I¡¯ll die with you then!¡±
She gripped his arm fiercely as tears gushed from her eyes.
If he died, then she didn¡¯t want to live either!
She had never felt such emotion.
It was at this moment that she really embraced the idea of dying alongside him.
Ye Sijue¡¯s heart shook, and he looked into her eyes steadily.
Silly girl¡
However, he felt joy and warmth bloom in his heart.
Even though she wouldn¡¯t cancel her engagement for him, she still chose to be with him when he was at the crossroads of life and death.
Ye Sijue couldn¡¯t help butugh.
If he died right then and there he would have died with no regrets.
No, he would still have regrets.
He would regret not being able to love her. He would regret not starting a family with her.
¡°Ye Sijue¡ Ye Sijue! No¡ Don¡¯t close your eyes! No!¡± Annie cried.

In the hospital.
The paramedics pushed a bed into the emergency room. A nurse stopped Annie and her friends.
¡°You¡¯re not allowed in. Wait here.¡±
A tearful Annie leaned onto Mu Xiaoxiao. In a hoarse voice, she asked, ¡°Xiaoxiao, tell me, nothing will happen to Ye Sijue, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and hugged her reassuringly. ¡°Yeah, he¡¯ll be fine. He¡¯s Ye Sijue. He won¡¯t fall over just because of a little venom.¡±
However, she looked at Yin Shaojie uneasily as she said this.
Would he really be alright?
She thought about what she had just seen. When Ye Sijue was wheeled in, his face looked purplish green, and he looked like he was going to¡
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s nose twinged and her eyes teared up and she didn¡¯t dare to think about it anymore.
It took over forty minutes to get Ye Sijue to the hospital.
In addition, about five to ten minutes psed between the time they heard Annie¡¯s scream and when they finally found them.
Could Ye Sijue get through this?
No one knew.
Only the Heavens did.
Even Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes reddened gradually and he leaned his head against the wall.
He didn¡¯t want to reveal his emotions and thus lifted his hand to cover his eyes.
¡°Xiaoxiao, I¡¯m terrified¡¡± Annie hugged Xiaoxiao tightly as she leaned on her shoulder and sobbed.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt really ufortable and hugged her. ¡°Don¡¯t talk now. Do you know how hoarse you sound?¡±
They had found Annie because of her heart-wrenching scream.
After a while, the door to the emergency room
opened, and the doctors came out.
¡°How¡¯s my friend?¡± Yin Shaojie turned around to ask.
The paramedics pushed Ye Sijue out as a doctor said to them, ¡°His situation is serious. We have already administered an antidote but there is a wound on his arm which was bleeding badly. Combined with his sickly condition and how much time passed after being bitten, it is hard to determine the effectiveness of the antidote. Also, the wound on his arm is infected so we have to operate on him without dy.¡±
After his exnation, the doctor rushed Ye Sijue to the operating theater.
¡°Ye Sijue¡¡± Annie¡¯s tears fell again and she followed them hastily.
She tried tofort herself to brush away the darkness in her heart.
Ye Sijue was big and strong. Nothing would happen to him. Absolutely nothing would happen to him.
However, no matter how she tried to reassure herself, the unease that had been nted in her heart grew with each passing second.
After hearing the doctor¡¯s words, Yin Shaojie frowned.
Holding Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand, he followed them as well.
Outside the operating theater, the red ¡°Operation in Progress¡± sign lit up.
Ye Sijue was inside, bouncing between life and death.

Mu Xiaoxiao and Annie sat on the chairs opposite the operating theater and stared at the door.
Yin Shaojie stood to the side with his head lowered, deep in thought.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Annie. After thinking for a while, she decided not to say anything. Standing up, she walked to where Yin Shaojie was.
¡°The doctor said he was bleeding excessively right? Does that mean the blood we saw trying to find them was Ye Sijue¡¯s?¡±
Upon hearing this, Annie looked up suddenly. She seemed to remember something and she looked shocked.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s brows were furrowed as he said gravely, ¡°I saw some bloody tissues in the rubbish bin of that house, The blood looked fresh, so it probably came from his wound.
He wanted to ask Annie how Ye Sijue was injured. However, he considered Annie¡¯s unstable mental state and hoarse voice and rejected the idea.
On the chair, Annie twisted her hands tightly, tears springing to her eyes.
¡°I didn¡¯t know he was injured¡¡±
So he was injured.
However, she didn¡¯t notice a thing, even when she was right by him.
How could she be such a failure?
He had bled to the point where it was excessive. How could she not have noticed?
Annie suddenly hated herself to death. How could she be so blind?
She thought that Ye Sijue might have gotten injured while he was protecting her from the fall on the slope.
He still pretended that it was nothing¡
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked and pointed at her. ¡°Annie¡ Can you stand up and let me look at you?¡±
Annie didn¡¯t understand what she wanted and didn¡¯t know what she wanted to do, but still stood up obediently.
¡°Turn around,¡± said Xiaoxiao.
Annie turned around.
There was arge, distinct patch of blood on her clothes. However, because Annie was wearing dark-colored clothing, it wasn¡¯t easy to spot.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Annie asked in a hoarse voice.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t have the heart to tell her and thus shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Do you remember how Ye Sijue got injured?¡±
A nurse passed them and Yin Shaojie gged her down. He told her something and she left after nodding.
¡°He¡ followed me¡ We rolled down a slope¡ it might have happened then,¡± Annie said. Her eyes were brimming with tears and they slid down her cheeks.
¡°Why didn¡¯t he tell me about it? How could he¡¡± sheined.
However,ining was of no use now. She only wished that he would appear before her, well and unharmed.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, her eyes full of guilt.
She walked over to Yin Shaojie and tugged at his shirt. In a choked voice, she said, ¡°It¡¯s my fault¡ I shouldn¡¯t have suggested this idea. If we didn¡¯t make him stay, Ye Sijue would be fine.¡±
Yin Shaojie cupped her cheeks with his hands and brushed the corners of her teary eyes gently.
¡°You¡¯re not wrong, but this was his choice. Sijue knew what we wanted to do, but he didn¡¯t stop us because he wanted to use thisst opportunity¡¡±
He looked at Annie as he said thest phrase.
Annie trembled as she heard it.
Ye Sijue wanted to grasp thisst opportunity¡
He did it because of her.
He wanted to fight for her onest time.
Thinking about it made Annie feel anguished, as though someone were wringing her heart ruthlessly.

Mu Xiaoxiao leaned against Yin Shaojie¡¯s chest and reached her hands behind him. Circling her arms around him, she buried her fac in his chest, as though she were seekingfort.
She was actually in a panic and very afraid.
She had known Ye Sijue for many years. Even though she wasn¡¯t as close to him as she was with Yin Shaojie and Han Qiqing, she still felt for him.
The n this time was not just to try to help Annie face her feelings, but also to help Ye Sijue.
Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t the only one who cared for Ye Sijue as a close friend.
She also couldn¡¯t bear to see Ye Sijue lose the girl he loved.
However¡ it seemed like she had done something wrong.
Despite what Yin Shaojie said, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s tears still flowed, making damp spots on Yin Shaojie¡¯s chest.
Yin Shaojie caressed her head and patted her gently as heforted and coaxed her with his maic voice.
Annie¡¯s heart ached sharply as she watched this romantic scene.
It made her think of her and Ye Sijue¡
If their positions were reversed, Ye Sijue would alsofort her thoughtfully, right?
She thought about how she had interacted with Ye Sijue in China.
Even though he had never confessed to her, his consideration and doting were specially reserved for her. Didn¡¯t that already signify a confession?
How could she be so stupid¡
The nurse from before came back with some medicine. She walked up to Annie.
¡°Miss, is your throat injured? Let me have a look.¡±
Annie looked at her expressionlessly and nodded slowly.
The nurse checked her throat before giving her some medicine to consume.
After drinking the medicine, Annie felt some relief in her throat.
Just then, a tall figure rushed over quickly.
¡°Annie, are you alright?¡± Chris asked.
Upon hearing his voice, Annie lifted her head slowly and met Chris¡¯s eyes.
She shook her head mechanically. ¡°I¡¯m fine¡¡±
The person who wasn¡¯t alright was not her, but Ye Sijue.
Chris looked her over thoroughly and upon determining that there was nothing wrong with her, let out a relieved sigh. ¡°That¡¯s good then. Let¡¯s go. It¡¯ste. I¡¯ll send you home.¡±
¡°No!¡± Annie snatched her hand away swiftly. Her gaze was nk as she said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to go back. I want to stay here.¡±
How could she leave before she knew what the oue of the operation was?
She had to know if Ye Sijue was going to be alright.
Chris frowned. ¡°What use is there if you stay here? You¡¯re not a doctor! Let¡¯s go. Someone will inform me if there¡¯s any news about him.¡±
It was already veryte and he wasn¡¯t going to let her continue to stay in the hospital, of course.
Also¡
Chris was displeased that Ye Sijue had let Annie encounter such danger and the only thing he wanted now was to bring his little princess back home.
Annie twisted away from his grip, as though she were trying to hide from him. Shrinking into her seat, she shook her head and insisted demandingly, ¡°I don¡¯t want to! I want to stay here! I want to ensure that he¡¯s fine!¡±
Chris looked a little furious as he said in a low rumble, ¡°Annie, listen to me!¡±
Annie bit her lip, but resisted him, and even turned her head away to avoid his gaze.

Helpless, Chris gave a look to his subordinate behind him.
The subordinate turned to leave.
After more than ten minutes, the door to the operating theater opened and a doctor walked out.
They all gathered around him and inquired about Ye Sijue¡¯s condition.
The doctor smiled as he said, ¡°The operation was a sess. His condition is currently stable.¡±
These words made Mu Xiaoxiao and Annie breathe a sigh of relief, but Yin Shaojie looked at Chris from the corner of his eyes.
Chris tugged at Annie¡¯s hand and said, ¡°You heard it now. He¡¯s fine. You can go back with no worries, right?¡±
¡°But I¡¡± Annie didn¡¯t want to leave. She obviously wanted to stay.
¡°Annie, you already promised me earlier. Let¡¯s go. It¡¯s gettingte. If you¡¯re obedient, I¡¯ll let you see him tomorrow,¡± Chris said.
Annie was very reluctant but she knew she couldn¡¯t argue with Chris, and was they left.
After they left.
Yin Shaojie shot a sharp gaze towards the doctor. ¡°What you said earlier was a lie, wasn¡¯t it? Someone made you say it, am I right?¡±
The doctor looked awkward, but seeing that Prince Chris had already left, he nodded.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened in anger. ¡°How¡ How could you do this!¡±
Didn¡¯t that just make her happy for nothing?
More importantly, Annie had believed him, letting Chris take her.
This was too much!
This Chris was too treacherous!
If she weren¡¯t so worried about Ye Sijue¡¯s condition, Mu Xiaoxiao would have rushed over to give Chris a piece of her mind and also beat him up so she could reveal Chris¡¯s true nature.
Yin Shaojie asked the doctor sternly, ¡°How¡¯s my friend¡¯s actual condition?¡±
The doctor looked ufortable. ¡°The patient¡¯s condition¡ is critical.¡±
¡
Even though they had already returned to the castle, Annie still looked like a lost soul, as though her spirit were stil in the hospital.
Chris pulled her into the room and ced his hands on her shoulders. ¡°Go take a bath and get some sleep. You can go to the hospital tomorrow after you wake up.¡±
¡°Okay¡¡± Annie nodded destely.
Chris knew that she wasn¡¯t herself and didn¡¯t say anything else. He ordered the helpers to attend to Annie.
He then left.
After about twenty minutes, Annie finished washing up and got into her pajamas. However, she was still out of it, standing by her bed.
Chris walked to her with a ss and stuffed it into her hand.
¡°Be good and drink this. Don¡¯t think about anything and just go to sleep. You¡¯ll be fine after you wake up.¡±
Annie looked down at the cup and finished the milk in the ss.
Chris took the cup away and gave it to a maid.
¡°Alright, hurry up and go to sleep.¡± He touched her cheek gently.
Annie blinked and lifted her eyes, meeting his gaze.
She suddenly thought of something and asked, ¡°How did you know that I was in the hospital?¡±
Chris didn¡¯t answer.
Annie¡¯s thoughts were unusually sharp at this moment. She took a step back, her eyes widening as she asked, ¡°You¡ It was you who sent someone to tail us, wasn¡¯t it?¡±
Chapter 1189 - I Don’t Want Anything, Except for You (5)
Chapter 1189: I Don¡¯t Want Anything, Except for You (5)

So Ye Sijue was right. There really had been people tailing them!
However, she had never imagined that they were actually Chris¡¯s men.
Since she was young, Annie had never suspected Chris of anything. Thus, she was feeling really conflicted at the moment.
Chris looked up and met her gaze. ¡°Yes, I did send people to tail you but never to hurt you. His injuries had nothing to do with me.¡±
His words made Annie speechless.
Chris had indeed sent people to tail them, but he didn¡¯t hurt them. Ye Sijue¡¯s ident was unrted.
¡°Then¡ Why did you send someone to tail us?¡± Annie asked gloomily.
Chris met her gaze. Instead of answering, he asked, ¡°What do you think?¡±
¡°How am I supposed to¡¡±
Annie didn¡¯t speak thest word, for she felt as though she had been exposed by his piercing gaze.
So, he must have been aware of her emotional entanglement with Ye Sijue, right?
Did he send someone to tail her because she was afraid that she would run off with Ye Sijue?
Suddenly, Annie felt really tired and fell on the bed. She felt her eyelids close as she held a hand to her head. ¡°Why do I feel so tired suddenly¡¡±
Chris¡¯s gaze didn¡¯t change as he bent over and touched her cheek. ¡°Sleep if you¡¯re tired. Don¡¯t think about anything else.¡±
Annie was so tired that she didn¡¯t even hear what he said but she nodded her head instinctively.
Chris helped her onto the bed and tucked her in.
Annie¡¯s eyelids closed over her eyes and she fell into a deep sleep.
Chris sat by the bed and looked at her sleeping visage for a long while before he left.
¡
The next day.
Annie had never slept so deeply before.
Her mind was a little disoriented when she woke. She had to think for a while before she remembered what had happened the previous night.
She got off the bed in a hurry, wanting to check on Ye Sijue.
Just then, a domestic helper came in. Bowing, she said, ¡°Miss, you¡¯re awake. His Royal Highness is waiting for you in the dining room.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not eating. I¡¯m going to the hospital right now.¡± Looking down, Annie realized that she was wearing her pajamas. She turned around hastily to change out of them.
The domestic helper followed behind her. ¡°Miss, His Royal Highness wants you to look for him in the dining room after you wake.¡±
¡°I already said that I won¡¯t be eating breakfast. Prepare a car for me. I¡¯m going to the hospital.¡± Annie wrapped a scarf around herself as she thudded down the stairs.
¡°But¡¡±
Just as the domestic helper was agonizing over how she could persuade her, the butler appeared and stopped Annie.
¡°Miss, His Royal Highness is waiting for you in the dining room.¡± The butler bowed and gestured towards the dining room.
¡°I¡¡± Compared to the domestic helper, Annie was more respectful of the butler.
¡°Please.¡± The butler smiled.
Annie could do nothing but go to Chris. She nned to tell him that she was heading to the hospital.
She entered the dining room and saw Chris eating breakfast.
Upon seeing Annie arrive, helpers immediately started to set her breakfast down.
Annie walked over and a helper pulled out a chair for her.
She said to Chris, ¡°I don¡¯t feel like eating. Chris, prepare a car for me. I want to go to the hospital right now.¡±
Chris put his utensils down and looked at her. ¡°You have to eat breakfast. Everything else can wait after you¡¯ve eaten. If you don¡¯t eat, then we don¡¯t have anything to discuss.¡±

By then, helpers had already brought her breakfast out.
Helpless, she wolfed the food down in the blink of an eye.
The sight of this stunned the butler and the helpers.
Chris frowned. ¡°Eat slower.¡±
Annie only finished half of the food before putting her utensils down. ¡°I¡¯m full. Hurry up and prepare a car for me. I want to go to the hospital.¡±
It was alreadyte in the morning. She wondered why she had slept in sote.
She also didn¡¯t have any recollection of falling asleep the previous night.
Even though she was suspicious, she was only concerned about Ye Sijue right now and wanted to see how he was.
Chris, said, ¡°Let me finish my meal.¡±
Annie watched him eat slowly. Even though he had an air of elegance and nobility about him, he was eating too slowly. How long was he going to eat?
¡°Why should I wait for you to finish your food? I can just go alone. It¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t apany me,¡± she said, not understanding why she had to wait for him to finish.
Chris said dismissively, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you about itter.¡±
This was Annie¡¯s first time feeling impatient. She frowned as she waited for the next few minutes for him to finish his meal.
After that, she stood up immediately and urged, ¡°Hurry, hurry!¡±
Chris wiped his mouth gracefully. cing the serviette down, he stood up, walked to her side, and held her hand.
¡°Alright, let¡¯s go.¡±
Annie only wanted to hurry to the hospital to meet Ye Sijue and thus didn¡¯t mind him holding her hand.
There was already a car waiting when they reached the entrance.
The two of them got in.
Annie said to the chauffeur, ¡°To the hospital!¡±
The chauffeur looked confused and turned to look at Chris.
Chris said, ¡°Drive us to the airport.¡±
Annie turned her head violently and looked at him in shock. ¡°Airport? Why are we going to the airport?¡±
Chris looked into her eyes. ¡°I¡¯ve already gotten someone to pack your suitcase. I¡¯m sending you home.¡±
¡°Sending me home? I didn¡¯t say that I wanted to go home! I want to go to the hospital!¡± Annie finally realized that he had tricked her¡ª he had never intended to let her see Ye Sijue.
How could he do this!
¡°I won¡¯t let you go to the hospital,¡± Chris said firmly.
¡°Why? You promised me!¡± said Annie as she looked at him, hurt.
Chris didn¡¯t offer her an exnation. Instead, he said to the chauffeur, ¡°Drive.¡±
¡°No!¡± Annie shouted angrily.
¡°Drive.¡±
Even though the chauffeur was conflicted, Chris was his master, and he thus started the engine obediently.
¡°Stop the car! I want to get out! Do you hear me!¡± Annie was furious and leapt forward to tug at the driver.
Chris frowned and reached out to pull her back. He chided, ¡°That¡¯s dangerous!¡±
¡°Get off me! I don¡¯t want to talk to you right now. Stop the car! Stop it!¡±
Annie¡¯s face was red from anger, but her strength was no match for Chris.
She was angry at herself for being so weak and her eyes reddened.
Just then, she turned towards the car door. Surprisingly, the car door wasn¡¯t locked. She opened it.
¡°Annie!¡± Chris shouted in shock. Afraid that she would fall out, he reached out to pull her back in.
Annie elbowed him backwards.

Her eyes were red now. Gritting her teeth, she looked at Chris with her exquisite face, and her usually delicate voice hardened determinedly as she said, ¡°Tell him to stop the car. If not, I¡¯ll jump!¡±
Chris looked at her. In a soft, coaxing voice, he cooed, ¡°Annie, close the door. We can discuss everything elseter.¡±
Did Annie not know him well enough?
He probably thought she wouldn¡¯t dare to let go.
Annie smiled, but it didn¡¯t reach her eyes. ¡°You¡¯re thinking that I won¡¯t do it, right? Alright, I¡¯ll do it for you, then!¡±
She looked out of the car door. The car wasn¡¯t going at a fast speed but it still looked scary.
She didn¡¯t know what would happen after she jumped.
She had been afraid of pain since childhood. Moreover, her skin was soft and fragile, and the consequences of falling down would likely be terrible.
However, she didn¡¯t have the time to mull things over.
After her speech, Annie held the sides of the door, took a deep breath, and throwing caution to the wind, prepared to jump.
Chris¡¯ expression turned dark. Swiftly, he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her back, and closed the door with a loud thud.
¡°Are you crazy!¡±
¡°Stop caring about me! Chris, you lied to me! You broke your promise! I¡¯m disappointed in you!¡± Annie pounded on his chest, trying to get him to let her go.
¡°I¡¯m more disappointed in you! You just tried to throw your life away for that Ye Sijue! How long have you known him for? You don¡¯t even have half a brain!¡± Chris howled at her.
¡°That¡¯s between him and me. What has it got to do with you!¡± Annie spoke in a measured voice as she red at him.
Chris reminded her, ¡°What has it got to do with me? Don¡¯t forget that we¡¯re about to be engaged.¡±
Annie pursed her lips. She looked like she had finallye to a decision and met his eyes. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I can¡¯t be engaged to you anymore. I¡¯m¡ canceling the engagement and I¡¯m willing to bear any consequences from it.¡±
Ye Sijue had done so much for her and was even unafraid to die for her.
She would be useless if she couldn¡¯t even cancel an engagement!
Moreover, everything that had happened the previous night made her recognize her emotions. She now clearly understood that she couldn¡¯t lose Ye Sijue. If she couldn¡¯t be together with him, she would spend the rest of her life as a zombie, never able to feel happiness again.
Xiaoxiao was right. Humans should be a little selfish and seek their own happiness instead of undermining themselves to amodate others.
She decided to follow her heart.
Annie thought that Chris would be furious at her words, but he didn¡¯t look angry.
Chris only sighed. His expression looked a littleplicated, and she couldn¡¯t read what he was thinking.
He looked at her and said, ¡°Annie, Ye Sijue failed to protect you. He has lost all right to be by your side.¡±
¡°What right do you have to say that!¡± Annie shoved his hand away and said angrily, ¡°Do you know that he was bitten by the snake because he was trying to protect me? Do you know that he injured his arm and lost so much blood because he was trying to shield me? Also, he got a fever because he was trying to save me! What have you ever done for me?¡±
Chris frowned and said severely, ¡°I¡¯m not referring to how much he has done for you, but that he has no ability to protect you well! That¡¯s the most important thing. If he can¡¯t protect you, how can I give you away without worries?¡±
Chapter 1192 - I Don’t Want Anything, Except for You (8)
Chapter 1192: I Don¡¯t Want Anything, Except for You (8)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°He can! He did protect me! If he hadn¡¯t protected me, I would be dead! How is that not protecting me?¡± Annie asked.
¡°It¡¯s not!¡± Chris said severely. Even if he prevented harm froming to you, he got injured in the process and paid with his life. If he can¡¯t escape unscathed, how can he protect against what lies ahead?¡±
Annie couldn¡¯t stand to hear Ye Sijue being spoken of like that so she hollered at him in a rage, ¡°I won¡¯t allow you to speak of him like that! What do you know! He was already sick, and had shielded me when rolling down the slope! Do you know how much blood he lost! But he was so worried for me that he kept it a secret and didn¡¯t tell me! Can you imagine how spent he was then? Even so, he used his body to protect me from the venomous snake! He¡¯s even willing to throw his life away for me! How is that not enough? He¡¯s only human. He¡¯s not a god! You can¡¯t expect him to be perfect!¡±
Chris narrowed his eyes as he looked at her steadily.
Growing up, she had never shouted at him like this before.
Annie spoke as tears rolled down her face. ¡°Chris¡ Do you know how terrified I was when he was about to die? I wished that I could switch ces with him! I regretted not canceling the engagement earlier and wondered why I made him so sad¡¡±
The car was silent for a long while before Chris¡¯ voice rang out, ¡°Drive to the hospital.¡±
Annie looked at him, dumbfounded.
Chris looked at her helplessly and took out a piece of tissue from apartment in the car for her to wipe her tears. ¡°Alright, you win, okay? Even though I don¡¯t know him well, let¡¯s do this since you like him so much. I¡¯ll see how he performs in the future.¡±
Annie was stunned, and wondered if she had heard him wrong.
She was dazed until they reached the hospital. Chris opened the door for her and led her out of the car. It was only then that she returned to her senses and rushed back to the hospital.
After running in, she remembered that she didn¡¯t know which ward Ye Sijue was in.
She was about to ask a nurse when she saw Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie.
Why were they¡ standing right outside the operating theater?
A huge wave of unease flooded Annie as she walked over slowly.
Just then, the door to the operating theater opened. A doctor walked out, his expression grave. He said to Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. We did our best.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes teared up. She lept into Yin Shaojie¡¯s embrace and started to cry.
Instantly, Annie felt as though she had been filled to the brim with ice water, her entire body bing cold and stiff.
She shook her head in disbelief.
No¡ Ye Sijue couldn¡¯t have died¡
A nurse wheeled a bed out shortly afterwards and she saw a white cloth covering the person¡¯s head.
Annie felt as though she were unable to breathe. She staggered forward and touched the edge of the white cloth, trembling.
¡°Ye Sijue¡ Don¡¯t die¡ Wake up! WAKE UP! I don¡¯t want you to die¡ What will I do if you¡¯re dead? What will I do! I¡ I¡¯ve already decided that I don¡¯t want anything except for you. I only want to be together with you¡¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Stop sleeping¡ Wake up, Ye Sijue¡ I¡¯m begging you, please, wake up¡¡±
Annie was crying with so much grief that no one could bear to listen to it
Everyone couldn¡¯t help but stop whatever they were doing and look at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao heard themotion and lifted her head from Yin Shaojie¡¯s embrace. Turning around, she saw Annie, and her red-rimmed eyes were full of confusion as she said, ¡°Annie? Why are you¡¡±
Yin Shaojie tugged at her and shook his head.
Chris was standing behind them, observing the scene.
Annie was crying herself hoarse as her fingers gripped the white cloth tightly. Her voice sounded husky from wailing as she said, ¡°Ye Sijue¡ I haven¡¯t told you¡ I like you¡ I love you¡ I¡¯ve canceled the engagement. I want to stay by your side forever and go back to China with you¡¡±
Just then, a tall silhouette walked out from behind slowly.
Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao noticed him.
Instinctively, Mu Xiaoxiao called out, ¡°Ye¡¡±
However, she only managed to get one word out before Yin Shaojie stopped her. His index finger was on her lip, making a shushing motion.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly and looked over at Annie, who was still crying sorrowfully.
No one had imagined that such a screw up would happen.
The patient in the operating theater hadn¡¯t been Ye Sijue, but an elderly man. Mu Xiaoxiao had been talking with him earlier but he suddenly fell ill.
Because she was worried for the old man, Mu Xiaoxiao decided to wait for him outside the operating theater.
However, the old man didn¡¯t make it.
What was even more unexpected was that Annie had mistaken the old man for Ye Sijue.
Upon seeing this and hearing what Annie said, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s worries disappeared.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the white cloth covering the old man, and thought in her heart: Uncle, someone wept for you as you left the world. You even helped a pair of lovers. You¡¯d be d, right?
Ye Sijue walked over step by step, and stood behind Annie.
Annie, who didn¡¯t realize that she had made a mistake, shook the ¡°Ye Sijue¡± on the bed violently as she cried, ¡°Hurry up and wake up, okay? I said I love you! Do you hear me!¡±
¡°I heard you,¡± a joyful voice rang out from behind her.
Annie was still crying and only came to her senses after a few seconds. She froze.
¡°What¡ What did you say? Xiaoxiao! Did you hear that! J-J-J-Just now, I heard Ye Sijue talk to me!¡±
Annie looked up and asked Mu Xiaoxiao, as though she wanted to confirm that Ye Sijue wasn¡¯t dead yet.
Mu Xiaoxiao almost wanted tough at her expression. Nodding, she said, ¡°Yes, I heard it.¡±
¡°S-So¡ Ye Sijue isn¡¯t dead, he isn¡¯t dead, right!¡± Annie¡¯s eyes were full of hope as she pressed.
Mu Xiaoxiao reached out and pointed behind her. ¡°Why don¡¯t you ask him yourself?¡±
Annie whipped her head backwards forcefully.
The pair¡¯s eyes met.
Ye Sijue looked a little pale but he was smiling and his eyes were shining, as though his irises were filled with stars.

He was smiling blissfully, and in a deep voice, he said to her, ¡°You said that you love me. You said that you only wanted me. You said that you want to be with me. I heard you.¡±
They were the most beautiful words of love he had ever heard.
¡°You¡¡± Annie finally spoke up as she pointed to the person covered by the white cloth. Then she pointed to Ye Sijue and asked awkwardly, ¡°This¡ isn¡¯t you?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not me.¡± What a little dummy. If the person lying there were him, then who else could be standing in front of her now?
Annie turned his head as she red at Mu Xiaoxiao ¡°You tricked me!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao spread open her hands innocently. ¡°When did I trick you? I didn¡¯t say that this person was Ye Sijue!¡±
Annie was speechless.
It seemed like she was right.
So she had the wrong person? She was crying and confessing to someone she didn¡¯t even know?
At that moment, Annie felt a desperate need to find a hole to crawl into.
As she moved to take a step forward, Ye Sijue stood up and blocked her.
He smiled, pointing to his chest and said, ¡°If you want to find a ce to hide, I can lend this ce to you. You can use it forever.¡±
Annie blushed.
Ye Sijue reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly. ¡°You haven¡¯t heard my answer yet.¡±
¡°W-what?¡± Annie asked bashfully.
His thin lips went close to her ear, and he said affectionately, ¡°I love you too.¡±
Annie buried her little face in his chest, and her little arms wrapped around his back.
Ye Sijue drew his arms in as he embraced her.
He would never let anyone separate them again.
Mu Xiaoxiao watched them happily. Then she remembered something. ncing at Chris, who was not far away, her eyes were provocative, as if to say, ¡®They¡¯re really in love. You¡¯ll never break them apart.¡¯
The corner of Chris¡¯s lips curled up faintly.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that his expression wasn¡¯t quite right. Wasn¡¯t he jealous upon seeing Annie and Ye Sijue hugging each other after their confession? Why was he still smiling?
She poked Yin Shaojie and said in a whisper, ¡°Hey, he¡¯s smiling. Do you think he¡¯s up to something? Could he be thinking about how to break apart Ye Sijue and Annie?¡±
¡°Probably not,¡± Yin Shaojie said as he met Chris¡¯s gaze. They looked at each other and smiled.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, embarrassed, ¡°I hope that¡¯s the case.¡±
Ye Sijue and Annie finally managed to express their feelings for each other. Hopefully, things would proceed smoothly from here on.
For now, the most likely problem that could arise would be from Chris.
Mu Xiaoxiao still felt quite uneasy. She red at Chris before saying to the hugging couple. ¡°Annie, Ye Sijue, let¡¯s go back to the ward. Let¡¯s not obstruct others here.¡±
At the mention of their odd situation, Annie¡¯s small head shifted about, still buried in Ye Sijue¡¯s arms. She still didn¡¯t dare to look up. He could only see that her ears were red..
Ye Sijue smiled, covered her face with his big hand, and took her away from the scene.
Mu Xiaoxiao pulled Yin Shaojie as they followed them. She also worried that Chris would follow them, so she turned back to look from time to time.

Fortunately, because Annie was speaking Mandarin, the other people at the scene, including the doctors and nurses, couldn¡¯t understand what she was saying. They only saw her run over and mourn the person on the bed.
Annie quickened her pace to escape from the stares.
Back at the ward.
Annie was still worried. She wanted to keep her head buried so she couldn¡¯t see anyone.
Ye Sijue¡¯s chuckles were heard above her head. ¡°I want to keep you in my arms but you still have to lift your head because I have other things to do.¡±
Annie lifted her head a little and looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, she lifted her little head from him.
¡°What do you want to do?¡±
¡°This.¡± Ye Sijue bent down and gave her a peck on her lips.
The blush on Annie¡¯s face returned.
¡°What are you doing!¡±
Although there were no other people around, Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie were still around!
Ye Sijue seemed to know what she was worried about, and he said breezily, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about those two.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao immediately added, ¡°Yeah, don¡¯t worry about us. Please kiss as much as you like! Do you want me to take a photo for you as a memento?¡±
¡°Xiaoxiao!¡± Annie looked at her bashfully.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed mischievously and teased her, ¡°Why don¡¯t we give you guys some privacy?¡±
¡°What are you saying!¡± Annie wanted to bury her face again. Why was Xiaoxiao being so indecent?
With his arm over Annie¡¯s shoulder, Ye Sijue smiled at Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°Stop teasing her. She¡¯s shy, unlike you. If you¡¯d like to, I can go with her and leave the room to you and Shaojie. How about that?¡±
¡°Hey! What is the meaning of that? Ye Sijue, are you asking for a beating? Don¡¯t think that I won¡¯t hit you just because you almost died?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao red at him, holding up her fists as though she were going to hit him.
¡°Ah, no!¡± Annie thought Xiaoxiao was being serious and she stood in front of Ye Sijue in a panic.
Of course Mu Xiaoxiao wouldn¡¯t actually hit Ye Sijue. They were just joking around.
Withdrawing her stance, she shook her head, sighed, and said. ¡°Okay, okay. I won¡¯t hit him, alright? Jie, it seems that we don¡¯t need to stay here to take care of Ye Sijue anymore. With Annie here, his illness will heal by itself.¡±
With that said, she turned back and held Yin Shaojie¡¯s hand so that they could leave.
Then Annie stopped her. ¡°Xiaoxiao, don¡¯t leave!¡±
Ye Sijue gave Yin Shaojie a look and Yin Shaojie nodded in return.
Realizing what he was hinting at, Yin Shaojie smiled suggestively. Then he said to Annie, ¡°Xiaoxiao hasn¡¯t eaten breakfast yet. We¡¯re going out to buy something to eat. Do you want to eat anything? We¡¯ll get it for you.¡±
¡°Okay, we¡¯re fine with anything,¡± Ye Sijue answered.

Yin Shaojie nodded. ¡°Alright. I¡¯ll ask the nurse what you can eat. Xiaomeng, stay here and take care, alright? Ye Sijue almost didn¡¯t wake upst night. Though he¡¯s alright, it was still scary. I don¡¯t know what I¡¯d tell his family if something happened to him.
Hearing that, Annie looked at Ye Sijue sympathetically. She nodded and said, ¡°Yeah, I got it. I¡¯ll take care of him.¡±
¡°Then we¡¯ll be going now.¡± Yin Shaojie took Mu Xiaoxiao and left.
The second the door closed, Ye Sijue couldn¡¯t help but pull Annie into his arms.
However, the door suddenly opened again. Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao were standing at the door. Mu Xiaoxiao winked at them yfully and said, ¡°Oh yeah. Annie, Ye Sijue probably hasn¡¯t had any water since he woke up. Remember to give him some water to drink.¡±
¡®Giving him some water to drink¡¯ sounded very suggestive.
Annie, who was always very innocent-minded, for some reason, immediately understood what she meant by that, and her little face grew hot.
¡°Alright. We¡¯ll leave for real now. Take your time because we¡¯ll be backte. I¡¯ll remember to call beforeing back. Bye bye!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao waved at them and closed the door.
Ye Sijue frowned. He walked to the door and locked it.
Annie wanted tough after seeing him do that, but she felt too bashful.
Ye Sijue walked back over to her.
¡°I-I¡¯m going to pour you a ss of water¡¡± She remembered Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s words so she turned to find the canteen.
Though she was sincere when she confessed earlier, now that she had to be alone with him, it felt strange.
¡°Don¡¯t go,¡± Ye Sijue said in a deep voice.
The long arm stretched out and pulled her back before she could leave.
Then he hugged her tightly in his arms.
Annie was stunned. He held her right, as though he were going to knead her into his body.
Immediately, she felt strong emotions.
She didn¡¯t move and stayed submissively in his arms.
Ye Sijue buried her face in her fair neck and breathed in her scent.
This was the only way that he could feel real.
¡°Am I really not dreaming? I¡¯m dreaming, right?¡± Ye Sijue¡¯s husky voice whispered in her ear. There was a slight uneasiness in his voice as if he were afraid of losing her again.
Perhaps he would suddenly wake up only to learn it was all a dream.
If that were the case, he would definitely fall apart.
How could this beautiful moment be a dream?
However, wasn¡¯t it because it was too beautiful and blissful that it was more likely to be a dream?
And when he had to wake up from his dream, he would also have to watch her be engaged with another guy and be his bride.
He thought that all his toughness wouldn¡¯t mean anything if he had to face that pain.
Ye Sijue closed his eyes and kissed the soft skin on her neck. In a maic voice, he asked again, ¡°Tell me this isn¡¯t a dream, okay?¡±
Hearing him ask again, Annie ached for him inside. She looked up from his arms, grabbed his hand, and ced it against her cheek.
¡°You aren¡¯t dreaming, I¡¯m real. Feel it.¡±

Ye Sijue¡¯s blue eyes shook. He lifted hisrge hand and ced it above her little hand.
The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with intense affection.
Ye Sijue couldn¡¯t help but lean forward. Annie¡¯s heartbeat increased, and she closed her eyes intentionally.
Their lips touched.
At that moment, nothing could separate them.
¡
After leaving the ward.
Mu Xiaoxiao was all smiles. She even started to hum a song. Yin Shaojie turned to look at her. He couldn¡¯t help but tease her, pulling her hair and squeezing her cheeks to make funny faces.
¡°What are you doing!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao cast a sidelong nce at him, smacking his hand away.
Yin Shaojie smiled faintly. He inteced his fingers with hers.
¡°I realized something.¡±
¡°What?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked curious.
¡°That is¡¡± Yin Shaojie said, deliberately leaving her in suspense. Then he smiled and said, ¡°We must cherish the people around us.¡±
¡°Pfft! I thought it was something profound. Is that your great philosophical statement?¡± She had always cherished the people around her. She would always reciprocate doubly the kindness that people showed her.
Yin Shaojie looked at her in resignation.
Didn¡¯t this wretch get it?
What he meant was that he wanted to cherish her! Didn¡¯t girls love hearing things like that?
Shouldn¡¯t she be touched at this point?
Yin Shaojie was gloomy. Understanding a girl was as hard as finding a needle in the sea!
Mu Xiaoxiao sped his hand tightly. Swinging their arms, she smiled at him and said, ¡°Or are you saying that you haven¡¯t been treating me well enough?¡±
Actually, thinking back, he had been really good to her ever since they were young. He had cherished her his entire life.
The two walked out of the hospital building.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly halted. Her eyes became fiercer as she red at the people in front of her.
¡°Why is he still here?¡± She said, irritated.
Yin Shaojie looked over and saw Chris.
Chris was sitting on the wrought iron bench next to the hospitalwn.
Even Yin Shaojie had to admit that of all the people that he had seen before, Chris was the person who smelled most strongly of nobility.
Chris lit a cigarette and held it between his fingers as the smoke rose in spirals.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but stare nkly.
Although she hated him, it was hard for her not admit that the way Chris was smoking the cigarette looked really dashing and charming.
Yin Shaojie seemed to have sensed that. He turned to look at her. His brows furrowed as he reached out and waved his hand in front of her. ¡°Hey.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao awkwardly snapped out of it, ¡°W-why is that guy smoking in the hospital! Does he think that he can do whatever he wants just because he is a prince? He¡¯s gone too far! I want to teach him a lesson!¡±
¡°It¡¯s true that you can¡¯t smoke in the hospital, but he is outside of the hospital,¡± said Yin Shaojie, stopping her from approaching Chris.
Chapter 1198 - He Was Not Giving Her Face at All! (2)

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and retorted, ¡°But that¡¯s also counted as part of the hospital, right? In any case, there are many patients around here. He shouldn¡¯t be smoking!¡±
¡°You are just looking for an excuse.¡± Yin Shaojie exposed her intentions.
¡°Yes, I was looking for an excuse. So what? I¡¯ve been wanting to beat him up. Annie clearly doesn¡¯t love him, yet he wouldn¡¯t let go of her. I don¡¯t believe that he couldn¡¯t tell.¡±
It was easy to tell that Chris was a smart guy.
So how could he not have realized Annie¡¯s feelings?
He knew Annie loved Ye Sijue yet he still wanted to go through the engagement with Annie.
What was the point of one sided love?
Mu Xiaoxiao despised him utterly!
Seeing that she really wanted to go and beat him up, Yin Shaojie pulled her back again. He tapped on her little nose and said, ¡°Stop it. Before we understand the truth of things, don¡¯t jump to conclusions.¡±
¡°What is there to understand? It¡¯s obvious!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao snorted.
Yin Shaojie was unsure whether tough or cry. He shook his head and said, ¡°You¡¯re not him. How do you know what he is thinking?¡±
¡°Why do I need to be him? I don¡¯t want to be like him!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked irritated.
If a typical girl saw a prince in real life they would have been instantly smitten and thrown themselves at him.
¡°Actually¡¡± Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes as he thought for a moment before saying, ¡°I think you might have misunderstood him.¡±
¡°I misunderstood him? I didn¡¯t misunderstand him!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said angrily. Clearly, she didn¡¯t want to change her opinion of Chris.
Yin Shaojie asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you notice?¡±
¡°Notice what?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked oblivious.
Yin Shaojie looked at her and said, ¡°From what we heard, the engagement party should be tomorrow, right? But there was no sign of preparation at all in the castle. Given such a huge castle, it would be toote to start setting up the decorations today.¡±
¡°Toote? But they have lots of helpers!¡± With more than hundreds of helpers they would be able to set it up with no trouble at all.
Yin Shaojie shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s toote. It¡¯s such arge venue. Decorating is more difficult than you think. Besides, did you see them buying anything for the decor? No, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened. It seemed like he was right!
¡°So what does that mean? There was no engagement party at all? Chris was lying about it?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao seemed confused.
Yin Shaojie turned his head slightly to look at Chris and he smiled faintly. ¡°You have to get the answer from him.¡±
After some thought, Mu Xiaoxiao said resolutely, ¡°Alright! I¡¯ll ask him!¡±
This time, Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t stop her. He let go of her hand and followed behind her.
Mu Xiaoxiao valiantly walked over and stood in front of Chris, staring at him as she said, ¡°I have something to ask you.¡±
Chris inhaled the smoke. He held the cigarette in his fingertips, shook off the ash, and gracefully exhaling a puff of smoke.
¡°Noments,¡± he said coldly.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly. She hadn¡¯t expected him to answer this way.

Chapter 1199: I¡¯m Waiting For Her
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°I was only asking a question. It¡¯s no skin off your back if you answer.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao red at Chris, expressing her displeasure. When he was at the castle he had very kind to her. Why was he treating her like this now?
Chris seemed to be able to see through her. He smirked and said, ¡°Why should I answer your questions when you asked me in such a rude manner?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao froze for a moment.
Yin Shaojie stepped up and said, ¡°Sorry, Xiaoxiao tends to be brash. We¡¯re just curious for an answer. There was no engagement party at all, right?¡±
He asked bluntly, without giving Chris the opportunity to reject him.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at Chris as she waited for the answer.
Chris cast a sidelong nce at her. With a faint smirk, he stood up and said to her, ¡°Noment.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little hands clenched into fists as she red at him.
Chris looked at her with great interest. He walked over to the trash bin, and put out the cigarette, and threw the cigarette butt inside.
¡°I don¡¯t feel very good right now, so I don¡¯t want to answer any questions.¡± He turned back and looked at the two.
Upon hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao was silent.
As Annie¡¯s fianc¨¦, how did he feel after seeing Annie confess to Ye Sijue earlier?
Suddenly, she felt bad for him.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him and asked, ¡°Are you waiting for Annie here?¡±
¡°Yeah. I¡¯m waiting to take her home.¡± Chris answered this time.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned and didn¡¯t know what to say.
Chris had seen Ye Sijue and Annie confess to each other earlier and yet he was still at the hospital waiting for her.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought Chris was an idiot. Suddenly, he didn¡¯t seem so annoying.
Chris turned away from them, looked up the blue sky, sighed, and said, ¡°You must be thinking about how I feel after seeing that scene earlier, right?¡±he said mildly, hisrge hand pressed to his chest.
¡°Ever since that moment, my heart has been aching. It is as though there is a downpour inside.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao really couldn¡¯t stand hearing that. She went beside Yin Shaojie and poked him with her pinkie.
She regretted talking to Chris.
Although she didn¡¯t like Chris, she realized that his situation was also a sad one. His fianc¨¦e, who he had known since they were kids, had fallen in love with another man. He must have been filled with excitement as he prepared the romantic engagement party but her fianc¨¦e confessed to another man on the day before.
This would be a huge blow to any man.
From Chris¡¯s point of view, he wasn¡¯t in the wrong.
There was nothing wrong with fighting for the girl he loved.
Annie had hidden the fact that she was in love with another man from him so it was understandable that Chris tried so hard to keep Annie for himself.
Anyone would want the person that they loved to reciprocate their feelings.
Was that wrong?
Of course it wasn¡¯t wrong!

Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment before apologizing to Chris, ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡¡±
Because Annie and Ye Sijue were friends, she only thought about things from their standpoint and neglected to care about Chris¡¯s feelings.
Chris looked at her as though he didn¡¯t hear her clearly. ¡°What did you say?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I shouldn¡¯t have asked like that¡¡±
However, Chris suddenly sniggered. ¡°It¡¯s just like William said. Teasing you is really fun!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face darkened and she was speechless.
What did he mean by that?
She had the feeling that she had been tricked. But she wasn¡¯t sure if she had really been tricked.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked to Yin Shaojie, tugged at his clothes forcefully, and gave him a questioning look. Had she really been tricked?
Yin Shaojie nodded. As he looked at Chris, his gaze seemed a little less friendly.
¡°I never thought that His Royal Highness would enjoy these kinds of games as well.¡±
Chris could see the obvious jealousy in his eyes, but heughed and said, ¡°Now that you mention it, I rarely y these types of games, but for some reason, when I saw Xiaoxiao, I suddenly felt interested. Strange, right?¡±
Before Mu Xiaoxiao came to the castle, William called him several times, instructing him to treat the girl named Mu Xiaoxiao well. He also talked about her temper, her quirks, and told him that he must take good care of her.
William and Annie had both mentioned Mu Xiaoxiao during their conversations. Many of the interesting things that happened to them involved Mu Xiaoxiao.
Chris rarely grew interested in people. Upon learning that Mu Xiaoxiao wasing, he didn¡¯t think much of it.
But for some reason, he suddenly wanted to tease her.
Indeed, her reaction was quite interesting.
Seeing that she was so protective of Annie and her friend Ye Sijue, he suddenly understood why Annie and William like her so much.
When Mu Xiaoxiao heard that he called her Xiaoxiao, she suddenly felt goosebumps and she sped her arms as she trembled.
Why was he calling her Xiaoxiao?
Were they close?
They weren¡¯t close at all!
Mu Xiaoxiao decided to take back the sympathy she had felt for this guy. This guy wasn¡¯t worthy any sympathy!
Mu Xiaoxiao was not in the mood to ask him about these things anymore. She grabbed Yin Shaojie¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go and stop entertaining his nonsense.¡±
Her stomach was already rumbling. She was so hungry and wanted to eat!
¡°Where are you going?¡± Chris asked suddenly.
¡°We¡¯re going to eat. Do you want to go together?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said in a smarmy manner, giving a fake smile. Anyone who saw it would know that she was only paying lip service. She wasn¡¯t actually inviting him. Moreover, she was sure that he wouldn¡¯t want to dine with them.
However, Chris nodded and said, ¡°Okay.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao froze, speechless.
She was sure that he knew Xiaoxiao was only inviting him to be polite, but he still wanted to go along with them.
In that moment, Mu Xiaoxiao wished to go back in time.
Yin Shaojie pinched Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand, his eyes faintly ring at her.

Mu Xiaoxiao pouted, looking pitiful as she stared at him. She secretly tugged at his finger.
What should they do now?
Although Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t want to have a third wheel, she had already said what she had said and couldn¡¯t take it back now. They had to treat him with the proper courtesy.
So he smiled and said, ¡°Come with us then, but we may eat at a nearby cafeteria. It¡¯ll be a simple meal. I¡¯m don¡¯t know if you¡¯ll mind.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t mind.¡± Chris said very calmly. But when he followed the two into the cafeteria, his brows were still wrinkled.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed inwardly because she had specially chosen the oldest looking qcafeteria.
However, although the decor in the cafeteria was old, it still looked clean.
After they entered the cafeteria, they realized that there were no customers inside.
The cafeteria was located near the hospital so it was unusual for it to be empty.
Could it be that the dishes here were particrly unptable?
The boss was a middle-aged woman. When she saw customersing in, she immediately greeted them cordially.
¡°What would you like to eat?¡± she asked, smiling.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked through the menu. ¡°I¡¯ll have a spaghetti bolognese.¡±
Yin Shaojie ordered a dish as well.
Chris, who appeared to not have much of an appetite, thought for a moment before saying, ¡°I want the same as her.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao cast a nce at him and almost wanted to change her order. But she gave up on that idea since she thought it was too rude of a thing to do.
¡°Alright. Please wait for your meal.¡±
The auntie smiled and gently put away the menu. Just as she was about to step away, a boorish shout came from the door.
¡°Yo, are there customers here? The three of you, have youe to the wrong ce? I suggest that you go to the cafeteria next door. The food here is inedible. You don¡¯t want to be admitted into the hospital up front, do you?¡±
At the door, three tough-looking men walked in like hooligans, standing in front of the table.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly realized why there were no customers in the cafeteria. The hooligans in front of them had chased them all away.
¡°Our¡ Our food is edible!¡± Auntie hurriedly retorted, but she looked scared of the three men.
¡°If I say it¡¯s inedible, it¡¯s inedible! You shut your mouth! Who wants toe to this little, old cafeteria? Hurry up and sell it, do you hear me!¡± the bald man leading the group threatened the Auntie.
Auntie staggered and almost fell. Frightened, she said, ¡°Who says that no onees here? Our cafeteria was doing well until you scared the customers away.¡±
¡°Bitch! Cut the crap! Are you going to sell me the cafeteria? If you¡¯re not going to sell it, then don¡¯t dream of doing business anymore! And¡¡± The baldy red fiercely. Then he turned his gaze to Mu Xiaoxiao and gang.
As soon as he saw Mu Xiaoxiao, he was roused with lust.
¡°Yo, this little girl looks really pretty, huh? A Chinese? I haven¡¯t yed with Chinese yet¡ Oh yeah. How do you say ¡®Hello¡¯ in Mandarin?¡± The baldy tapped hisckey behind him. Then he smiled disgustingly at Mu Xiaoxiao and said in a strange Mandarin ent, ¡°Hello.¡±
Chapter 1202 - For Her (2)

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Disgusting! Go away!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said to him in proper English.
¡°Go away? Haha, I just want toe nearer. What are you gonna do? Bite me? Come on, bite me, babe.¡± Upon seeing that she knew English, the bald man became even more excited and started to tease her.
Mu Xiaoxiao almost threw up. Bite him? She wouldn¡¯t bit someone as disgusting as him!
Suddenly, Yin Shaojie stood up. He towered over the bald man.
Though the baldy looked tough, he was half a head shorter than Yin Shaojie.
The baldy hated men who were taller and more handsome than him, especially people like Yin Shaojie who looked handsome and came from an upper ss family.
¡°Bastard! You want to be a hero? Come on, I will make you a zero!¡± the baldy shouted, pulling up his sleeves, looking as though he were going to beat someone up.
Yin Shaojie grabbed his cor, stared at him and said, ¡°If you want to fight, let¡¯s take it outside.¡±
Just then, a middle-aged man rushed over from behind them. He wore an apron and looked to be Auntie¡¯s husband..
¡°What is going on here? Mr Geithner, I have said many times that we won¡¯t sell the cafeteria. Can you stop harassing us? I beg you!¡± The middle-aged man begged.
Yin Shaojie shook the baldy. He quickly changed the subject, turning his attention to the auntie. ¡°You have to sell it! Let¡¯s see how long you canst without any business!¡±
After saying that arrogantly, he was about toy a hand on the auntie.
How could Mu Xiaoxiao just stand by and watch this? She quickly jumped up and screamed at the baldy, ¡°Knock it off! You can¡¯t hit people!¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong with hitting people? I can kiss people too.¡± The baldyughed pervertedly, his hand reaching out to eat her tofu.
Yin Shaojie immediately shot him a sharp re.
Before the baldy¡¯s hand could touch Mu Xiaoxiao, Yin Shaojie grabbed it, and twisted his wrist in the other direction.
¡°Ah!¡± a scream pierced through the little cafeteria.
¡°You dare touch her?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes narrowed, his eyes icy.
¡°Let go! Let go of me! Why are you two standing there? Get him!¡± The bald man felt that his wrist was about to break so he screamed out in pain.
The twockeys were stunned until they heard their boss¡¯s scream, at which time they finally started to help.
However, Yin Shaojie shot them an unpleasant look. He didn¡¯t want to have to deal with them, and he immediately flung the baldy over to them, three falling to the ground.
¡°Get lost! Don¡¯t make me repeat myself,¡± Yin Shaojie said coldly.
¡°Just you wait!¡± The baldy climbed up from the floor and yelled at Yin Shaojie before turning tail.
The auntie and the middle-aged man looked at each other. At first, they were amazed, but their expressions quickly became worried.
Mu Xiaoxiao snorted, ¡°Good that you can run! Otherwise we¡¯d beat you up!¡±
¡°Jie, why didn¡¯t you give them a beating? We¡¯re in front of the hospital. Let them be admitted into the hospital for a few days lest they harass the owner again.¡±
Yin Shaojie nced at her and said, ¡°They are too dirty. I don¡¯t want to touch them.¡±
With that said, he turned to ask the auntie for directions to the washroom.

Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry.
Auntie bowed to thank him for his help.
Mu Xiaoxiao waved her hand and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine, Auntie. Hurry up and cook for us. I¡¯m so hungry.¡±
The middle-aged man looked at her startlingly. It seemed like he had never seen a girl like her before. The auntie nudged him and he snapped out of it. He gave her a polite nod before going back to the kitchen.
Shortly, Yin Shaojie came back. His hands were wet. He had washed his hands.
¡°Were they that dirty?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked funnily.
¡°Didn¡¯t you see? The baldy¡¯s shirt was stained with grease or something,¡± Yin Shaojie said.
He could imagine the bald man as a filthy person who wiped his greasy hands on his own shirt.
Even if the cafeteria had good decor, he would never patronize it if it had an owner like that.
Mu Xiaoxiao got goosebumps. ¡°Luckily you stopped him from touching me. Otherwise, I would have had to shower immediately.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nced at Chris. Then she turned to Yin Shaojie and said to him in Mandarin. ¡°In any case, with Annie there, we don¡¯t have to go back to the ward, right? We¡¯ll just be a third wheel. Let¡¯s go back after the meal. I want to take a shower.¡±
She meant that she was going back to the castle since their luggage was still there.
¡°Yeah. You should rest. You didn¡¯t sleep wellst night.¡± Yin Shaojie felt sorry for her, his long fingers running through her hair.
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t seem very close to Ye Sijue, she still cared about him. Besides, as a girl, she was kindhearted. Xiaoxiao was afraid that Ye Sijue would not be able to wake up, so she was very worried and she woke up intermittently to check on Ye Sijue.
Mu Xiaoxiao nced at Chris again, lowered her voice, and said, ¡°After we go back for a shower, we¡¯ll leave, alright? Let¡¯s find a hotel to stay in.¡±
From the onset, they hade to the castle because of Ye Sijue and Annie.
Now that the two were together, they had no reason to stay in the castle anymore.
Plus, she didn¡¯t really like Chris. Living at his castle would be a little awkward.
The two chatted for a while before the auntie served up the food.
Mu Xiaoxiao was so hungry that she immediately ended the conversation and began to gorge herself.
As they were eating, a mor was heard outside.
The auntie was shocked after hearing it. She said to them, ¡°You guys, get outta here!¡±
Get out?
Mu Xiaoxiao looked over and saw that the baldy hade back and brought a group of people with him.
The group of thugs was very rude as they kicked over the items disyed at the storefront.

The Auntie looked really scared. She wanted to go up and stop them, but was too afraid to.
Mu Xiaoxiao leaned close and whispered into Yin Shaojie¡¯s ear, ¡°There are a lot of people. Can you handle them?¡±
Additionally, the foreigners looked really big and burly. Theirrge frames looked imposing and formidable.
¡°What do you think?¡± Yin Shaojie asked instead, smiling.
Suddenly, things took a sharp turn.
Before the hoodlums coulde in, a squad of police officers appeared out of nowhere and surrounded them.
Chris put his fork down. Taking out a handkerchief from his front pocket, he wiped his mouth elegantly as he surveyed the chaotic scene outside calmly.
¡°Did you do this?¡± Yin Shaojie looked at him and asked.
He had noticed Chris using his phone when he had been talking to Xiaoxiao, but he had not expected him to have called the police.
¡°I don¡¯t like it when my mealtime is disturbed,¡± Chris said mildly.
The hoodlums were taken away by the police.
The Auntie walked out to take a look. Suddenly, she eximed loudly and ran back in, calling for her husband to go outside.
Mu Xiaoxiao was curious and wanted to see what was happening outside and thus rose to follow the Auntie.
Yin Shaojie was afraid that she was going to get herself into trouble and followed her.
Chris stared at Mu Xiaoxiao. Taking out his wallet, he took out a few bills and put them onto the table before walking out.
Even though there were no more police cars or hoodlums outside, there was still amotion outside.
The restaurant beside them was surrounded by a crowd.
The people in America were tall. Mu Xiaoxiao looked short inparison and thus she couldn¡¯t see anything as she stood behind them.
It seemed that people of all nationalities shared amon interest in gossip.
After the Auntie understood what was happening, she looked shocked and cupped her hand over her mouth.
Mu Xiaoxiao asked, ¡°Auntie, what happened?¡±
The Auntie exined that the health inspectors were here to check on the ce but found the restaurant¡¯s kitchen dirty and not up to sanitary standards.
¡°Then¡ the restaurant is going to be shut down?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was overjoyed by the news, as she thought that the restaurant was owned by the bald man.
Was this karma?
But wasn¡¯t this act of karma dealt a little too swiftly?
The Auntie felt a little awkward as she looked at her happy expression. ¡°About that¡ We can¡¯t be sure. They will shut the restaurant down for a while to clean it. If it fails inspection again¡¡±
Her husband was puzzled. ¡°That¡¯s strange. I remember Geithner had connections with the inspectors. How did this happen?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at Chris.
Suddenly, a silhouette emerged from behind and lept towards him.
Even though Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t have eyes in the back of his head, he still managed to dodge it.
Nimo grasped at air and almost fell forward. However, he steadied himself deftly.
¡°Why did you avoid me?¡± Nimoined.
Yin Shaojie shot him a look. ¡°Why are you here?¡±
¡°You¡¯re not in the castle and I was feeling bored because I was alone, so I came here. How are things? Is your friend okay?¡± Nimo asked.
¡°Yeah, he¡¯s fine now,¡± Yin Shaojie replied.
Nimo looked at what was happening to the restaurant and he nced at Chris casually.
He was puzzled. Chris wasn¡¯t someone who liked to poke his nose into other people¡¯s business. Why did he suddenly make such a move? It wasn¡¯t like him.

Back at the castle.
Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao went back to their room to take a shower.
Chris returned to his study. He was about to close the door when someone blocked it.
Nimo walked into the room casually as though it were his own room and he even toyed with the knick-knacks on the worktable. Grinning, he looked at Chris and said, ¡°I saw all of that.¡±
¡°What did you see?¡± Chris acted as if nothing had happened. Taking off his coat elegantly, he hung it onto a hanger.
¡°I was hiding and watching you when you were eating at that little restaurant. How shocking that you would actually dine at such a ce. It¡¯s my first time seeing that since I¡¯ve known you.¡±
He had seen Chris following Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie into the old, rundown restaurant when he rushed over. He had been surprised to see Chris with them, of all people.
Because he found it interesting, he didn¡¯t reveal himself to observe them, wanting to see what Chris would do.
He saw the entire incident involving the bald man.
Chris ignored him and sat down on an authentic leather seat.
Nimo leaned his arms onto the table and moved his face closer. ¡°I thought you had done something when you were ying with your phone, so I called Abbo just to ask about it. I¡¯d never imagined this!¡±
To show his surprise, he pped the table.
The sharp noise made Chris frown. ¡°What are you trying to say?¡±
Nimo smiled slyly as he pointed at him. ¡°I know that you were the one who called the inspectors. Don¡¯t tell me that you extended a helping hand because you pitied the rundown restaurant¡¯s owners.¡±
¡°Oh? Can¡¯t I be phnthropic asionally?¡± Chris smiled as he looked up and met his gaze.
Nimo looked like he had heard something impossible and put on an exaggerated expression. ¡°You? Stop pulling my leg. Since when does the word ¡®sympathy¡¯ exist in your dictionary? Do you even know how to spell it?¡±
He couldn¡¯t really say that he understood Chrispletely even though he had known him for so many years. Chris had too much depth and no one could really see through him. However, he was certain about one thing and it was that Chris had no sympathy in him.
Thus, when Nimo saw what had happened earlier, his jaw dropped.
If Annie were there, Nimo would have understood Chris¡¯s actions. But she hadn¡¯t been there.
Chris leaned back in his seatfortably and smirked. Shrugging his shoulders at Nimo, he said, ¡°What do you want me to say, then?¡±
Nimo ced his palms down onto the table and stared at him. ¡°I just want to know why you interfered at the cafeteria. This isn¡¯t like you at all. Who made you¡¡±
Chris smiled and looked at him. ¡°What if I said it was for Mu Xiaoxiao?¡±
¡°For¡ her?¡± Nimo looked stunned. He couldn¡¯t help but wonder if this meant that Chris knew Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s real identity.
Chris nodded and said, ¡°You could say that when I saw her expression¡ I suddenly felt like doing it.¡±
Chapter 1206 - For Her (6)
Chapter 1206: For Her (6)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
He didn¡¯t know what came over him, either. He just felt like helping her.
The process wasn¡¯t important, so long as the end result fulfilled her wishes.
When he had achieved his objective and saw the delight and schadenfreude in her expression, he felt that doing good deeds once in a while was interesting.
¡°Could it be that you know¡¡± Nimo¡¯s expression was odd as he left his sentence hanging. He actually wanted to observe Chris¡¯ expression to see if he knew Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s real identity.
Upon seeing that Chris didn¡¯t reply, and still had the same look in his eyes, Nimo changed his tone. ¡°Hey! Are you having ideas about Mu Xiaoxiao? You can¡¯t do that. You know that she¡¯s already engaged to Yin Shaojie. You can¡¯t destroy their engagement.¡±
If their engagement could be destroyed he would be the first to court her.
It was only because she was the wife of his good buddy that he curbed his urges.
She was the heiress of the mysterious Muirs!
Those who knew Nimo knew that he was an impulsive person. He would rather die than be asked to wait.
Thus, he felt sad that he had to give Mu Xiaoxiao up because of his good buddy, Yin Shaojie.
¡°Ideas?¡± Chris narrowed his eyes, looking as if he were pondering this question.
An ominous feeling came over Nimo. Had he just nted a seed in the prince¡¯s mind?
He said hastily, ¡°You can¡¯t have any ideas!¡±
Please, if he couldn¡¯t have any ideas about her, how could Chris have any right to?
Also, Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie¡¯s rtionship was really good and it would be hard to tear them apart.
Chris lifted his gaze and swept a nce at Nimo. His voice was cold as he said, ¡°Is that amand?¡±
Nimo said, ¡°¡ I wouldn¡¯t dare.¡±
It was Chris¡¯ birthright to be King. Growing up at the top meant that he was the only one who couldmand others.
Nimo coughed into a fist and changed the subject. ¡°Oh yeah, are you going to give your little princess away to that Ye Sijue now?
If he knew anything of Chris¡¯ personality, he wouldn¡¯t just let Annie run to another man while he watched unless he had agreed to it.
¡°I did want to still marry Annie at first. Even though she¡¯s childlike and unsuitable as a Queen, it was alright. I¡¯d promised her when we were young that I would protect her her whole life. Grandma wished for me to marry Annie as well, so¡¡± Chris said.
¡°Wait.¡± Nimo interrupted him and went straight to the point, ¡°You haven¡¯t mentioned whether you like Annie at all.¡±
¡°I like her. Of course I like her,¡± Chris said.
¡°No.¡± Nimo shook his head and said gravely, ¡°I¡¯m not referring to that kind of like. You only like her as a brother likes his sister, right? I¡¯m talking about love. Romantic love.¡±
¡°Romantic love?¡± Chris frowned.
Nimo snapped his fingers. ¡°I¡¯ll rephrase. Does Annie make you want to make out with her and bed her?¡±
Chapter 1207 - He Notices Xiaoxiao? (1)

Chris didn¡¯t even think before he replied, ¡°No.¡±
Nimo observed his apathetic expression, amused. ¡°Say, it seems like you¡¯ve never shown interest in women since the day I met you. Have you ever desired a woman? Even if its another no person¡¯s woman.¡±
Did this buddy of his have sexual apathy?
¡°Ahem, or is it that¡¡± Nimo smiled suggestively. ¡°You actually like guys?¡±
Chris looked up and shot him a cold re. ¡°No.¡±
Nimo shrugged his shoulders and said, ¡°What do you like then? I think Annie is a really good girl. Her beauty is top-ss, her figure is excellent, and her skin is fair and soft. Could it be that you don¡¯t think of her that way because you grew up with her?¡±
¡°Do you think everyone thinks like you?¡± Chris retorted mockingly.
Nimo was used to being mocked by other people. He spread his arms out indifferently and exined, ¡°It¡¯s human nature for people to like fine things. Do you think everyone is a maverick like you? I just think that you haven¡¯t met your soulmate. You¡¯ll understand what I mean when you do.¡±
To rephrase, Annie wasn¡¯t his soulmate, which was why he didn¡¯t desire her.
¡°Soulmate¡¡± Chris lowered his head as he thought about the meaning of the word.
Nimo continued, ¡°So, you¡¯re going to cancel your engagement with Annie now, right? You said that the engagement was happening tomorrow, but there aren¡¯t any decorations, and you didn¡¯t invite any guests either. You probably already realized that Annie likes Ye Sijue, right? However, she didn¡¯t tell you to cancel the engagement, so you decided to wait and see how the situation develops. Moreover, you aren¡¯t familiar with Ye Sijue, and wouldn¡¯t just give your beloved little princess to him.¡±
One couldn¡¯t say that Chris was that deep a person. He was just someone who loved Annie and wanted to give her the best.
Also, Chris had high standards, and it was difficult for anyone to meet them.
Nimo thought that Ye Sijue¡¯s current performance was a mere pass to Chris.
Chris didn¡¯t even look at him before saying, ¡°You¡¯re too long-winded.¡±
Nimo snapped his fingers. ¡°It seems like my summary was perfect. You can tell me how you feel towards Mu Xiaoxiao next. You don¡¯t really have feelings for her, do you?¡±
Chris looked at him, annoyed. He pointed to the door and said, ¡°I¡¯m busy. Get out.¡±
¡°Hey, just tell me about it. I¡¯m a love expert and I can help you analyze things,¡± Nimo said proudly, refusing to leave.
Chris shot a look at him. ¡°Do you need me to call my men?¡±
Nimo, who had been leaning his upper body on top of the table, sprang up immediately. He shook his head and smiled awkwardly. ¡°No, no, it¡¯s fine. I can walk out on my own.¡±
Chris gestured towards the door.
Nimo left and closed the door behind him considerately.
After the door closed, Chris leaned back in his seat. His gaze was deep as he mulled things over.

¡°Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock¡ª¡±
Someone was knocking on the door incessantly.
Mu Xiaoxiao had just finished her bath and gotten out of the bathroom. She was drying her hair when she heard the knocking and she turned around, puzzled.
Was it Yin Shaojie?
She thought for a while and rejected this idea, for Yin Shaojie would never knock on the door so roughly.
¡°Who is it?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked, not wanting to guess anymore.
¡°It¡¯s me.¡± A vaguely familiar sounding male voice said from outside.
Who?
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t think of who it was for a moment. She only thought the voice was familiar and had no idea who it belonged to.
¡°Who are you?¡± she asked again.
¡°It¡¯s me!¡± the other party replied again.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned as she walked towards the door impatiently. ¡°Tell me who you are!¡±
¡°It¡¯s me! Can¡¯t you tell?¡± The other party still didn¡¯t answer her question.
Mu Xiaoxiao said instinctively, ¡°I don¡¯t know you!¡±
She then dried her hair with a towel and turned around to look for a hairdryer.
The person outside probably hadn¡¯t expected her to react this way and was stunned for a moment. It seemed that he heard her walk away because he suddenly said, ¡°I¡¯m Nimo!¡±
Nimo?
Mu Xiaoxiao blinked. She thought for a while before the gears in her mind turned and she finally remembered who he was. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s you. I¡¯m not opening the door!¡±
Not opening the door? Nimo¡¯s hand, which was about to knock on the door again, paused in mid-air. ¡°Why not? You¡¯re not going to open the door because it¡¯s me?¡±
¡°Yes,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said bluntly and tactlessly, unafraid to hurt his ego.
Well, if this guy actually had an ego to begin with.
¡°Why won¡¯t you open the door? Just open it,¡± Nimo pleaded pitifully outside the door.
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. She didn¡¯t know what he was nning, but she didn¡¯t feel like finding out.
¡°Just tell me whatever you came here to tell me. I¡¯m going to sleep now.¡±
She then lifted her head and yawned.
Soaking in a hot tub was wonderful.
Her entire body felt rxed after the bath and a drowsiness washed over her.
She would think about how to get out of this ce and which hotel to stay in after a nap!
Truth be told, Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to stay in the castle for a few more days. Every item here was specially selected and they were reallyfortable to use, even surpassing those of the best-rated hotels she had stayed in.
Mu Xiaoxiao dragged her slippered feet towards the bed.
However, Nimo called out to her again. ¡°I just want to talk to you face-to-face for a short while. It¡¯s only a short while, okay?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t feel like talking to you. I want to sleep. Tell me after I wake up.¡± Even though he couldn¡¯t see it, Mu Xiaoxiao was waving her hand as if she were swatting a fly away.
Nimo was an impatient person. He would go mad if he waited to talk to her after she woke up.
Why was this girl so hard to convince?
Was she going to die if she opened the door?
At his age, Nimo had hit on tons of girls over the years, but had never gotten the cold-shoulder from any of them.
However, it was strange that he didn¡¯t feel angry that she ignored her.
Was it because it was her?
However, Nimo knew himself. He wasn¡¯t a person who cared about someone¡¯s status, so even if someone more powerful were standing before him, he would still act like he usually did.

¡°Open the door, alright? Let me see you. Just for once. I just want to see you! Open the door. Little rabbit, be good and open the door. Hurry and open the door. I want toe in~~¡± Nimo started singing.
Nimo was surprisingly good at singing. People who didn¡¯t know him could have mistaken him for a professional singer.
Nimo leaned against the door as he hit the door with his palm. Just as he was thinking about how he was going to trick Mu Xiaoxiao to open the door, a cold voice questioned him from behind, ¡°Why do you want to see her?¡±
Nimo turned back and saw Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie gave him a fake smile as his dark eyes stared at him menacingly.
Nimo smiled awkwardly and exined, ¡°I¡¯m kidding! I just want to tell Xiaoxiao something. I have no other intentions. I swear. Absolutely none!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s voice came from the room. ¡°I¡¯m so sleepy. I¡¯m going to sleep. Hurry up and take this fly away. It¡¯s irritating!¡±
¡°Fly?¡± Nimo was startled as he pointed at himself. ¡°I¡¯m a fly?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at him and nodded. ¡°There¡¯s a strong resemnce there. Congrattions. You have a new nickname. It fits you well.¡±
Nimo almost spit blood.
Who would want such an awful nickname!
He sighed and grumbled, ¡°Your wife is so hard to persuade. She refuses to open the door. Am I a bad person? Do I look like a bad person? ¡±
Yin Shaojie gave him a look and said, ¡°Don¡¯t forget that you almost kidnapped the first time you met her. How are you not a bad person? Moreover, first impressions are very important to girls. Her first impression of you has already been ruined.¡±
¡°Stop talking by the door. Take him away. I¡¯m going to sleep,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said from inside.
Yin Shaojie could tell she was probably very tired. She would probably fall asleep the moment she fell onto the bed.
He tapped on Nimo¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Come on. Just tell me what you want to talk to her about. I¡¯ll be her representative.¡±
Nimo was speechless.
How would that be the same?
Despite this, he still left with Yin Shaojie and stopped bothering the sleeping beauty in the room.
The two found a balcony and viewed the scenery from the corner of the castle.
Although they could not enjoy the scenery of spring, the scenery of winter had its own distinctive vor.
¡°What do you want to ask her about? Her family?¡± Yin Shaojie asked bluntly. At the thought of Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s family, he frowned.
He didn¡¯t want to delve into this matter for the time being. So he didn¡¯t want Xiaoxiao to know that he knew about her family.
Yin Shaojie had never cared about her family status. No matter who Mu Xiaoxiao really was, it wouldn¡¯t change his feelings toward her.
Nimo rubbed his chin and looked at him as though he were thinking whether he should tell Yin Shaojie.
¡°It¡¯s not about her family.¡±
¡°Then what is it about? What other business would you have with her?¡± Yin Shaojie asked. Since the topic had been brought up, he said, ¡°Act like you don¡¯t know about her family and don¡¯t let her find out that I know about it.¡±
Nimo nodded and made an ¡°OK¡± gesture.

¡°Back to the topic, why were you looking for her just now?¡± Yin Shaojie pointed at him, indicating that he was not going to forget the incident so easily.
Nimo was unsure whether tough or cry. ¡°I was¡ afraid that you¡¯d get jealous, so I wanted to talk to her without you knowing.¡±
¡°Jealous?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression changed.
Nimo smiled. ¡°Look at your expression¡¡±
Yin Shaojie asked bluntly, ¡°Is it about Chris?¡±
¡°You know about it? You can tell?¡± Nimo was a little surprised.
Yin Shaojie looked outside and said in an ambiguous tone. ¡°He seemed a little strange back at the hospital earlier.¡±
Nimo patted his shoulder and said, ¡°Chris might have taken an interest in Xiaoxiao, though I still can¡¯t tell what he¡¯s thinking about after so many years of knowing him. But from how much he knows about love¡ I¡¯m looking forward to seeing how he would look if he fell in love with someone!¡±
¡°Taken an interest?¡± Yin Shaojie asked.
Nimo went back to the topic and put aside his joking expression. ¡°I just talked to him and noticed that he¡ seemed to be interested in Xiaoxiao. I¡¯m guessing that he found about her family background.¡±
¡°Did you tell him?¡±
¡°Of course not! But I just remembered that Annie and her brother, William, might know about it, and they might have mentioned it to Chris before.¡± Nimo was standing beside him, his hand on the white railing.
¡°What if he knows about it?¡± Yin Shaojie asked.
Nimo held his chin, tutted, and said, ¡°That would be quiteplicated.¡±
¡°What do you mean?¡± Yin Shaojie frowned. Nimo had always liked to do crazy things. So if he said that something wasplicated, then it was trulyplicated.
Nimo said tactfully, ¡°This involves the internal affairs of Chris¡¯s country so I won¡¯t say much about it. Anyways, there are pros and cons to being born into the Muirs family. If you aren¡¯t careful, people will use you for their own benefit. I think this is why the Muirs family choose to keep a low profile. By keeping a low-profile, they can better protect themselves.¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Yin Shaojie nodded in agreement. ¡°So keep a tight lid. Don¡¯t even say a word about Xiaoxiao¡¯s identity!¡±
After finding out about Xiaoxiao¡¯s mysterious identity, his first thought wasn¡¯t to understand it but to keep it a secret.
More power would also mean more danger.
Nimo made a zipping gesture at his mouth, and he then made an ¡°OK¡± gesture to him.
¡°Just tell me simply. Will Chris hurt Xiaoxiao?¡± This was what Yin Shaojie cared most about.
¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡± Nimo shook his head, looking pretty sure of it.
¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you can¡¯t read him?¡± Yin Shaojie was doubtful.
Nimo said seriously, ¡°Yeah, but this is different. To outsiders, he is very indifferent and can¡¯t give a damn about them. But for people that he cares about, he would give his hundred percent to treat them well just like with Annie.¡±
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes as he grasped a key point from his ramblings. ¡°So what you mean is that he cares about Xiaoxiao now?¡±

Nimo raised his hands and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t say that! Well, okay, at first I wondered if Chris fancied Xiaoxiao. Later, as I thought about it again, it didn¡¯t seem very likely. The way I see it, Chris is the kind of person who grows fond of someone after spending time with them. He isn¡¯t the type to fall in love at first sight. So from my refined analysis¡¡±
¡°Get on with it already!¡± Yin Shaojie looked impatient. Why didn¡¯t he find this guy to be such a windbag before?
Nimoughed, ¡°Why are you so impatient? Okay, okay, okay, I¡¯ll tell you. The conclusion to my analysis is that I think Chris found out about her family background.¡±
He reached out to tap Yin Shaojie¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°So you don¡¯t have to be jealous of Chris.¡±
And of course, even more so, he didn¡¯t need to be jealous of Nimo.
He admired Mu Xiaoxiao but not in a romantic way.
If it was really a romantic attraction, he wouldn¡¯t even care if it was a brother¡¯s woman!
¡°For real? Why do I feel someone like him would be the type who would fall in love at first sight?¡± Yin Shaojie frowned as he spected about Chris.
¡°You don¡¯t know him well enough. He is cold on the outside but deep and passionate on the inside. It¡¯s hard for someone toe into his heart. So for him to fall in love at first sight, I think, would be very difficult. As hard as ascending to the sky.¡±
With Chris¡¯s status, what kind of beauty hadn¡¯t he seen before? How extraordinary must a girl be for him to make him fall for her at first sight?
Yin Shaojie brushed his hand away and folded his arms. ¡°I don¡¯t care about his love life. You called me here just to tell me that he may know of Xiaoxiao¡¯s identity? Is there anything else?¡±
Regardless of whether or not Chris would hurt Xiaoxiao, Yin Shaojie was worried that other people would find out about Xiaoxiao¡¯s identity.
Perhaps he should take Xiaoxiao back to China sooner.
They came to America for Ye Sijue and Annie. Now that the two were together, their mission wasplete, so it was time for them to return to China.
Nimo said, ¡°If Chris wants to be friends with Xiaoxiao, you shouldn¡¯t stop him. This is a good thing. Chris is very good to his friends. Just look at me.¡±
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t disagree. Nimo was a guy who would not be satisfied with small gains. Chris was really good to his friends given how he allowed Nimo to treat his castle like his own home.
¡°We¡¯ll talk about this next time. Find a chance to test him and see if he already knows about Xiaoxiao¡¯s identity.¡± Yin Shaojie was more concerned about this matter.
He wouldn¡¯t allow any trouble to befall Xiaoxiao because of her identity.
Nimo was unsure whether tough or cry. ¡°I tried, but I didn¡¯t get anything out of him¡ Next time I¡¯ll see if there are any opportunities.¡±
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll take Xiaoxiao back to China within the next few days. Let me know if Chris makes any moves.¡±
Of course he didn¡¯t want anyone to bother Xiaoxiao.
¡°You¡¯re going back already?¡± Nimo asked.
Yin Shaojie looked at him. ¡°What else am I gonna stay here for? You too. Don¡¯t trouble my wife, do you hear me?¡±
¡°No promises.¡± Nimo smiled at him before he disappeared like a puff of smoke.

Yin Shaojie turned his head to look outside.
The weather was fine today and the sky was azure in color. It was good weather.
But why¡ did he feel uneasy?
¡
When Mu Xiaoxiao woke up, it was already afternoon.
She stretched her back and neck.
She felt much more energetic after her nap.
Just when she got out of the bed, the door opened. A maid came in, smiling at her as she said, ¡°Miss Mu, you¡¯re awake. It¡¯s tea time now. Do you want any dessert? There is Italian tiramisu and French souffl¨¦. Or perhaps you would like the Hong Kong milk tea?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little dazed after just waking up. Hearing the maid¡¯s words she started to salivate.
Tiramisu¡
So tempting!
On a side note, the helpers in the castle were really attentive in their service. It was as if the maid knew that she had just woken up.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded without hesitation and said, ¡°Okay, I want Hong Kong milk tea. I want to add pearls and I want the tiramisu. Oh yeah, I want macaroons as well.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± The maid retired with a smile.
With so many delicious desserts to eat, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mood was suddenly brightened, and she went to the bathroom with a big smile.
After freshening up, she was reminded of Yin Shaojie just as she stepped out of the room so she called him.
The sound of Yin Shaojie¡¯s maic voice reached her ear. ¡°You¡¯re up? I¡¯ll go to your room to find you.¡±
¡°No need. I¡¯m justing out of the room. Let¡¯s meet in the living room. They prepared a dessert for me. Let¡¯s eat together.¡±
¡°Afternoon tea?¡±
¡°Yeah, I just woke up and a maid came in to ask me what kind of dessert I wanted to eat for afternoon tea. It¡¯s so nice here. I don¡¯t want to leave.¡± Mu Xiaoxiaomented. She closed the door and walked along the exquisitely designed carpet toward the stairs.
Yin Shaojie said in a strange tone, ¡°If you can¡¯t bear to go, then stay for a few days.¡±
¡°I want to but¡ Eh, oh yeah. Did the doctor say how long Ye Sijue has to be hospitalized for?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly asked.
She walked down the stairs with light, graceful steps.
Yin Shaojie just happened to walk in from outside and they saw each other.
Seeing him, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little face suddenly wore a big smile. She put down her phone and ran over to him. ¡°You went out? For what?¡±
Seeing her running toward him, he reached out to hold her steady lest she collided with him.
¡°Nothing. I was just taking a walk outside. Can¡¯t you be moredy-like? Your hair is messy,¡± Yin Shaojie said as he ran his long fingers through her her.
Mu Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue at him, ¡°Lady-like? Do you think that word exists in my dictionary?¡±
She suddenly narrowed her eyes, seemingly unhappy with him as she said, ¡°Do you prefer a girl who is moredy-like? This is the way I am. ept it if you want. If you don¡¯t ept it¡ Hehe, you have to ept it!¡±
¡°When did I say I wanted a girl who is moredy-like? You think too much!¡± Yin Shaojie pushed her forehead.
Their intimate interaction roused envy in the eyes of other people watching them.
¡°His Royal Highness,¡± a voice called out, drawing the two¡¯s attention.
Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao looked over at the same time and saw Chris walking down the stairs.
His eyes were set on Mu Xiaoxiao.

Mu Xiaoxiao greeted him politely, her fingers wiggling as she smiled and said, ¡°Good afternoon.¡±
Chris walked down and stood in front of her, asking, ¡°You have Ye Sijue¡¯s phone number, right?¡±
¡°I do. Why do you ask?¡± Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him guardedly.
Chris exined, ¡°I was just looking for Annie. Her cell phone isn¡¯t with her.¡±
¡°Why are you looking for Annie?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t let her guard down, afraid that he was trying to break Ye Sijue and Annie apart.
¡°My grandma is looking for her,¡± Chris looked at her and said.
Mu Xiaoxiao remembered that Annie mentioned before that Chris¡¯s grandma was sick, and because of this, her engagement with Chris was brought forward.
Could it be that Chris grandma¡¯s condition had worsened?
Or could it be that Chris¡¯s grandma knew about Ye Sijue and Annie, and wanted to use her condition to force Annie to give in?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s brain threw out lots of possibilities.
She was conflicted. Ye Sijue and Annie had finally gotten together after a tough trial. She didn¡¯t want anything to separate them again.
Would Annie break up with Ye Sijue if his grandmapelled her?
Mu Xiaoxiao could not be sure of the answer.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know that all of her emotions were written on her face so that anyone could tell from a nce what she was thinking.
Looking at her little face, Chris smiled and said, ¡°Grandma was only thinking about her. She won¡¯t do anything to her. You can rest assured.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was embarrassed. Chris had seen right through her.
She was stunned for a moment and she said, ¡°Well¡ Wait a sec, I¡¯ll call Ye Sijue.¡±
But she felt her clothes and realized that she hadn¡¯t taken her cell phone down with her.
¡°The cell phone is still in the room.¡± She pointed upstairs.
Chris said to the maid standing by the side, ¡°Go up and help Miss Mu get her cell phone.¡±
The maid bowed and went upstairs.
Just then, the maid from earlier came over. She smiled and said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Miss Mu, your afternoon tea is ready. Do you want to have it in the dining room or in the garden? The weather is good today and the sunshine is warm. I rmend that you have your afternoon tea outside in the garden.¡±
¡°Afternoon tea? Great. Make me a cup of coffee. Let¡¯s go together,¡± Chris said. He was addressing Mu Xiaoxiao when he said ¡®Let¡¯s go together.¡¯
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to ept his invitation but it didn¡¯t seem appropriate to refuse him, so she nodded.
The three went to the garden together.
The afternoon sun was just right:zy andfortable. In such a winter afternoon, the wind wasn¡¯t too strong and the sun was warm so it was really apt for afternoon tea.
After Mu Xiaoxiao took a bite of the tiramisu, the maid brought the cell phone to her.
She called Ye Sijue and told him to hand the phone over to Annie.
Chris said, ¡°I have arranged for a chauffeur to pick Annie up. Let Annie know and she will understand.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nced over at him. She couldn¡¯t help butment at how thoughtful he was.
He was worried that Annie would have troubleing back without a car?
Mu Xiaoxiao told Annie about it. When Annie heard that grandma was looking for her, she agreed toe back.
Thus, the three enjoyed the scenery in the garden while drinking afternoon tea and waiting for Annie¡¯s return.
When Annie returned to the castle, she didn¡¯t expect to see such a scene.
¡°Eh? You guys are¡¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, ¡°We¡¯re having afternoon tea! Hurry ande over. This tiramisu is delicious, so I left one for you. This milk tea is also good. It tastes like the one I had in Hong Kong.¡±
When Annie walked closer, a domestic helper pulled out a chair for her to sit down on.
¡°Chris, you mentioned that Grandma wanted to see me. Is her illness¡¡± After Annie sat down, she didn¡¯t take the tiramisu Xiaoxiao offered her, but turned around to talk to Chris.
¡°Grandma¡¯s condition is stable. She¡¯s just really angry.¡± Even though this was the case, Chris smiled lightly.
¡°She¡¯s angry?¡± Annie looked puzzled. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Grandma? Why is she angry?¡±
¡°She¡¯s actually angry at me.¡± Chris sighed. ¡°Because I did something that went against her wishes.¡±
¡°What did you do?¡± Annie asked.
Chris put his cup of coffee down. Crossing his legs, he ced his hands on his thighs and looked into her eyes deeply. ¡°There¡¯s something that I¡¯ve been keeping from you. There¡¯s no engagement party. I canceled the engagement long ago.¡±
¡°Canceled¡ the engagement?¡± Annie was shocked. Her eyes were wide as she looked at him and reflected in them were joy, puzzlement, and worry.
She was happy because she was discussing with Ye Sijue how she could cancel the engagement while he was in the hospital. No matter how she saw it, this was her fault, and she was willing to bear the consequences.
Ye Sijue had also told her that he would stay with her no matter what happened.
The both of them had already prepared themselves for whaty ahead.
However, she was still worried about Grandma and afraid that her illness would deteriorate due to the engagement.
Thus, when Chris told her that he had canceled the engagement long ago, she couldn¡¯t help but feel joy.
She asked anxiously, ¡°Then Grandma¡¡±
¡°Grandma is angry, but she¡¯s angry at me.¡± Chris said gently, ¡°She mes me for letting you be snatched away by another man.¡±
Annie pursed her lips and looked at him, touched. ¡°Don¡¯t think that I¡¯m unaware that you¡¯ve pushed all the me onto yourself. It¡¯s clearly my fault¡¡±
Chris smiled lightly and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. Anyway, the end result is the same. Do you think Grandma doesn¡¯t know? She knows, but you also know that she loves you the most. How could she be angry at you? So she chose to be angry at me instead.¡±
¡°Chris¡¡± Annie¡¯s nose twinged and she looked at him tearily.
¡°Silly girl, why are you crying? Blink your tears back. Don¡¯t let them fall.¡± Chris gazed at her with lowered eyelids. Even though his words were bossy, his tone was gentle.
Annie¡¯s eyes grew redder. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Chris¡ I¡¯m too selfish. Grandma must be very upset, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was staring at them both, feeling like something was off.
Was Chris trying to guilt-trip her?
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know what his ns were but she didn¡¯t think that things were that simple.

¡°No, she really isn¡¯t.¡± Chris covered her little hand with hisrge one as he looked at her and said, ¡°It¡¯s just that Grandma misses you a lot and wants to see the person you like.¡±
Annie nodded and said, ¡°I understand.¡±
After their talk, Chris stood up and said, ¡°I have things to do, so I¡¯ll go back to the house first. Please enjoy the food.¡±
After he went into the castle, Mu Xiaoxiao pulled Annie to her side and asked, ¡°Are you really going to bring Ye Sijue to meet his Grandma?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Annie nodded.
Mu Xiaoxiao was worried for her. ¡°Have you never thought that Chris might have something up his sleeve?¡±
¡°Ah? Something up his sleeve?¡± Annie was stunned. Shaking her head quickly, she said, ¡°No, Chris would never hurt me.¡±
¡°Do you trust him that much?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
Annie smiled and nodded vigorously. ¡°Of course! Rx, you just don¡¯t understand Chris. Everything he says to me is the truth. He would never lie to me.¡±
Upon seeing how firm she was on that point, Mu Xiaoxiao rxed a little.
However, she felt that Chris was an unfathomably deep person, which made it hard for people to know what he was thinking.
Yin Shaojie looked on as they conversed and remembered what Nimo had said to him earlier. Chris might be a person who was cold and ruthless, but he treated the people he cared about with wholehearted goodness.
Thus, he thought that what Chris had said to Annie earlier was the truth.
Annie wanted to invite Mu Xiaoxiao to hang out and have fun.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated and rejected her. ¡°I won¡¯t be going. You should go with Ye Sijue. I want to go back¡¡±
She was about to say that she wanted to go home instinctively, but she remembered that her papa wasn¡¯t in America and there was no use going home.
She thought for a while. There was nothing she needed to do in America anymore, so she should just go back to China¡
She was thinking about going back to China when a thought shed into her mind and she suddenly remembered something. ¡°Oh yeah! I almost forgot! I wanted to visit Auntie Lu. Aiyoh, how could I have forgotten?¡±
Upon hearing the word ¡°Lu,¡± Yin Shaojie looked up.
Upon hearing that she wasn¡¯t going to travel with her, Annie looked sad. ¡°I was thinking that I could go back to China with you after I bring Ye Sijue to see Grandma.¡±
Xiaoxiao¡¯s birthday was almost here. Of course she wanted to return to China and celebrate it with her.
¡°I¡¯ll visit Auntie Lu first. Then¡ we¡¯ll see if we can go back together!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said.
Yin Shaojie moved the fingers on the arm he was resting on her chair, but didn¡¯t say a word.
Even so, Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to know what he was thinking and she grinned as she said, ¡°You don¡¯t want me to go, right? I¡¯m only going to see how Auntie Lu is and I¡¯ll leave afterwards. Do you want toe with me? How does that sound?¡±
She knew that Yin Shaojie was a jealous person, especially when he was faced with Lu Yichen.
Thus, she felt that it was better for him to go with her.
Yin Shaojie was about to say something before he saw Nimo calling him from afar worriedly.
Chapter 1216 - The Girl by His Side (2)
Chapter 1216: The Girl by His Side (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Come here. I have something to say to you!¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned, but walked over.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s frown deepened as they conversed.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at them curiously.
After a while, Yin Shaojie walked over. Bending over, he said into her ear, ¡°I need to go somewhere with him to do something urgent. I might not be able to return tonight. You should go with Annie so that I won¡¯t worry.¡±
He ruffled her hair before walking off with Nimo.
The two of them drove off.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She didn¡¯t even have the chance to say a word to him.
What was the urgent matter he was attending to?
He didn¡¯t even exin anything to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. However, she remembered how grave both his and Nimo¡¯s expressions were, and thought that things might really be urgent. If not, they wouldn¡¯t have left so quickly.
She cupped her face with her hands and pouted.
Annie said happily, ¡°Xiaoxiao, you¡¯reing with me then, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked a little gloomy as she said, ¡°But¡¡±
She didn¡¯t want to go!
She still had to visit Auntie Lu at the hospital¡
Actually, it was more convenient to do so without a jealous lover like Yin Shaojie beside her.
The gears in Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s head turned and she leaned close to Annie. She whispered, ¡°I¡¯ll go to the hospital first before looking for you.¡±
¡°No way. How can I let you go to the hospital alone? I¡¯ll be worried,¡± Annie said as she shook her head. She thought about what Yin Shaojie had said. He seemed like he was worried about leaving Xiaoxiao alone and hence wanted her to follow herself.
¡°Why should you be worried? I¡¯ve lived here for four years, and this is my second home. Also, I¡¯m not a three-year-old child who¡¯ll get lost.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao patted her chest, trying to convince her.
Annie thought for a while. ¡°How about this¡ Let me ask Chris what I should do and let him call the shots, okay?¡±
¡°Sure.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. It would be fine so long as she could go to the hospital.
However.
One hourter.
In the lobby of a hospital.
It was toote for regrets as Mu Xiaoxiao stood still and red at the bodyguards following her.
They were all standing ramrod straight in their ck suits.
One, two, three, four, five¡
Mu Xiaoxiao gave up counting and held her forehead with a hand.
She was only here to visit a friend. Did it warrant such a disy?
Also, were they afraid that no one could tell that they were bodyguards?
Could they not wear the same ck suit?
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, and said to the bodyguard, ¡°Stop following me. Can you just wait for me here? I¡¯m only going to visit a friend. I¡¯ll be back soon.¡±
The man at the head of the squad said, ¡°Miss Mu, we have to ensure your safety.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°¡ Even if you¡¯re protecting me, can you stand further away? You don¡¯t have to stand so close, right?¡±
After a lot of persuasion, they finally stepped back.
The bodyguards were now about ten paces away from her. They wouldn¡¯t be able to protect her properly if she were met with danger.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry.
She was only here to visit someone. Why would danger befall her?
Chapter 1217 - The Girl by His Side (3)
Chapter 1217: The Girl by His Side (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
However, their distance was much morefortable now, at least.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to waste her voice to argue with them and thus epted thispromise.
She was about to look for a noise to help but she saw Lu Yichen unexpectedly.
¡°Lu Yi¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and called out to him instinctively.
However, when Lu Yichen turned the corner, there was a girl following him. The girl tried to hug his arm but didn¡¯t seed for he was walking briskly.
Like paparazzi, Mu Xiaoxiao hid behind a wall and peeked half her head out secretively, revealing only her eyes.
She smiled suggestively. ¡°Could it be that¡ Lu Yichen has a girlfriend now?¡±
It was so unexpected. Lu Yichen had just arrived in America, but had already gotten himself a girlfriend!
Also, the girl she had just seen was quite pretty.
Mama Mu felt happy for Lu Yichen. The girl must be quite a good person to stay by Lu Yichen¡¯s side and take care of his mother when he was in a foreign country.
She remembered how Lu Yichen was always by himself in Shangde. It was really, really difficult for girls to get close to him.
¡°Ah!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao eximed suddenly before cupping her mouth with her hand.
Then¡ What about Qiqing?
Her brain was a little slow on the uptake and she finally realized this only now.
Qiqing still liked Lu Yichen!
If Lu Yichen had a girl by his side, wouldn¡¯t Qiqing be brokenhearted?
Qiqing was her friend and Mu Xiaoxiao felt pained for her as she thought of this oue.
However, Lu Yichen was her friend as well. She was truly happy for him to have found happiness through a girl.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes followed Lu Yichen and the girl as she thought about this.
She then realized that Lu Yichen looked as though he didn¡¯t want to bother with the girl, while the girl followed him, not willing to give up.
Could it be that this girl was chasing after Lu Yichen?
No matter what, Mu Xiaoxiao felt that it wasn¡¯t an appropriate time for her to appear now.
She shouldn¡¯t cause trouble to Lu Yichen.
She hoped that she was a good girl who could be his soulmate.
These were Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s genuine thoughts.
She was about to leave, but rethought her decision. Since she was already here, she should just visit Auntie Lu.
As for Lu Yichen, she didn¡¯t need to see him.
Aftering to this conclusion, Mu Xiaoxiao walked the other way, trying to avoid Lu Yichen.
After asking a nurse, Mu Xiaoxiao found the ward Auntie Lu was staying in.
However, Lu Yichen was in the ward, which made going in inconvenient for her. She could only wait outside at the corner and wait for him to leave before she could go in and greet Auntie Lu.
Oh yeah, she had to remember to tell Auntie Lu not to tell Lu Yichen that she had visited.
Because Mu Xiaoxiao was tailed by bodyguards, she had no choice but to hide in the escapeway to not interfere with the work of the medical staff.
Just then, a youth walked down briskly from upstairs.
He was surprised to see two rows of ck-suited bodyguards and stered himself to the wall with a loud smack, watching them in shock.
Chapter 1218 - The Girl by His Side (4)
Chapter 1218: The Girl by His Side (4)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao held her forehead as she smiled bitterly. ¡°Stop scaring people!¡± she said to them.
However, the youth had already been scared and time couldn¡¯t be reversed.
¡°Sorry, they aren¡¯t bad guys.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled affably and kindly.
The youth smiled awkwardly, but didn¡¯t dare to go any further. He could only retreat and go back up the stairs. After determining that he wasn¡¯t in danger, he ran up the stairs.
Mu Xiaoxiao cast a pleading look at the bodyguards and put her hands together in a pleading gesture. ¡°I¡¯m begging you. Stop following me around, okay? Can you please go outside to wait for me?¡±
Even though there was still room on the stairs for traffic, there were people using the stairs and it wasn¡¯t good to scare them like that!
The gears in Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s head turned and she held up a hand to them. ¡°Five minutes. Just five minutes will do. I¡¯ll only be entering the ward to visit a friend and I¡¯lle out after speaking a few words to her. Is that okay?¡±
The head bodyguard still repeated, ¡°Miss Mu, we have to ensure your safety so we have to stay close by¡¡±
¡°Stop! Stop speaking, please!¡± An exasperated Mu Xiaoxiao waved her hands to stop him. She had heard the words too many times and she didn¡¯t want to hear them anymore.
She stomped her feet helplessly.
What did she have to do to shake off unwantedpany?
However, she couldn¡¯t me them, of course, for they were only obeying their prince¡¯s orders.
Just then, the sound of light footsteps sounded from outside.
¡°We¡¯ll speak here,¡± a girl said.
Mu Xiaoxiao was afraid that they would scare someone again, especially since the person was a girl.
She waved the bodyguards upstairs as though they were flies.
She also went up with them.
Just as she rounded the corner of the stairs, the door of the escapeway was pushed open, and a girl and a nurse came in. When the girl entered, she looked around suspiciously.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t see this for she was busy walking up with the ck suits.
¡°Put this in that Auntie¡¯s food. Remember not to put too much at once. A little will be enough. Got it?¡± the girl said.
Even though the girl was speaking softly, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯smand of the Englishnguage rivaled that of her mother tongue. Coupled with the echo of the stairway, Mu Xiaoxiao could hear everything.
What was she trying to get the nurse to put in someone¡¯s food?
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked.
Why did this conversation¡ sound right out of a TV drama?
¡°But¡ that¡¯s not a good idea, right? What¡¯s this? Will it cause harm if consumed?¡± the nurse seemed nervous.
¡°Why are you asking this? Will it cause harm? Are you trying to imply that I¡¯ll harm others? My dad is the director of this hospital. Do you think I¡¯ll hurt someone in my dad¡¯s hospital?¡± The girl raised her voice in displeasure.
The corners of Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s lips turned down. So she was the daughter of the hospital director. No wonder she was so arrogant.
She was curious and thus stuck her head out carefully to peek.
She froze when she saw who it was.
It was the girl who had been following Lu Yichen.

¡°No, no, of course that wasn¡¯t what I meant!¡± the nurse said, looking as though she were scared of the girl
She took the small bottle from her respectfully.
The girl told her, ¡°Remember to put a little of this every meal but not too much, and then¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened. She felt a strange sense of foreboding.
She couldn¡¯t help but wonder if the auntie that the girl mentioned was Auntie Lu.
Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to continue eavesdropping but she couldn¡¯t hear anything because the girl was whispering into the nurse¡¯s ear.
Mu Xiaoxiao leaned her entire body over the railing. If she leaned anymore she would fall.
Mu Xiaoxiao was aware of that as she gripped the handrails tightly. Still, she couldn¡¯t hear anything so she had no choice but to give up.
She was afraid that they would see her, so she didn¡¯t dare lean anymore.
After the girl was done talking to the nurse, they left the exit passageway.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. Then she turned to the bodyguard, and said, ¡°Follow that girl. Find out where she is going and what she is going to do. Don¡¯t let her notice you, got it?¡±
The leader of the bodyguards nodded and instructed one of his subordinates to follow her.
Mu Xiaoxiao followed the nurse. She wanted to find out if the person the nurse was going to poison was Auntie Lu.
Hopefully, it wasn¡¯t¡
She prayed not.
She followed her all the way to a ce that looked like a lounge. The nurse bumped into another nurse. The two acted strangely as they pulled each other to a corner.
Mu Xiaoxiao carefully moved closer, creeping along the wall.
¡°Do you know what the director¡¯s precious daughter told me to do? She actually told me to¡¡±
Thest part of the sentence was spoken into the other party¡¯s ear. Although Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t hear it, she understood.
Hearing that, the nurse¡¯s eyes widened and she covered her mouth in surprise.
¡°Oh, my god! How did this happen? Does the director know that she is like this?¡±
¡°So what if he knows? She is counting on the director¡¯s protection. She doesn¡¯t even work in the hospital but she¡¯s ordering people around here as if she¡¯s somebody.¡±
¡°Exactly, it was just like thest time¡¡±
The two prattled on and spoke ill of the girl.
As Mu Xiaoxiao eavesdropped in the corner, she opened up the audio recorder on her cell phone.
The two nurses were still ardently speaking ill of that girl.
But Mu Xiaoxiao retreated from the area, beckoning to the head bodyguard so that he woulde over.
The head bodyguard walked up to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked him up and down. Rubbing her chin, she said, ¡°Take off your clothes.¡±
The bodyguard furrowed his brows slightly. ¡°This is not part of my job.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him. ¡°Your duty is to protect me, right? If I want you to do something, and you don¡¯t do it, then I¡¯ll get unhappy. If I¡¯m unhappy, I may run away. If something happens¡ you¡¯ll lose your job, right?¡±
She pointed at him and wagged her finger. ¡°Take it off!¡±
The bodyguard¡¯s eyebrows didn¡¯t twitch as he took off his suit jacket.
His hand was on the button of his shirt and he was about to start unbuttoning it.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, ¡°Okay, that¡¯s enough. Please. I only told you to take off your suit jacket. You don¡¯t have to take off everything.¡±
Chapter 1220 - Seducing Her
Chapter 1220: Seducing Her
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Wearing a ck suit in a hospital was too conspicuous.
Mu Xiaoxiao nced over at the corner where the two nurses were hiding. She turned back to look at him. Arms folded at her chest, she said, ¡°Unbutton one of the buttons on your shirt. Seduce that nurse from earlier and bring her to the exit passageway.¡±
The bodyguard was speechless.
The subordinates¡¯ expressions twitched. They looked like they were going to smile, but their professionalism was keeping them from breaking out intoughter.
¡°She¡¯sing out! Go!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao waved her finger at him.
The bodyguard was stunned for a moment. Without a word, he walked over to the nurse.
After a few minutes.
In the exit passageway, Mu Xiaoxiao and the nurse stood face to face.
Disappointed, she shot a look at the bodyguard. She had told him to seduce the nurse, but he had taken her by force!
The nurse looked at them and Mu Xiaoxiao, frightened. ¡°I-I have no money! I really have no money! Don¡¯t take me!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t hurt you.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled to appear friendlier.
But no matter how friendly she tried to act, it was in vain. With the bodyguards dressed in ck suits behind her, she was more than intimidating.
Seeing that Mu Xiaoxiao was the leader of the gang, the nurse shrank back and said to her timidly, ¡°W-why are you grabbing me? I don¡¯t know anything! I really don¡¯t know anything about what goes on in the hospital!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. ¡°Can you be quiet? I told you that I wouldn¡¯t hurt you. Let me finish saying what I want to say, okay?¡±
If she continued to make noise like that people were bound to notice.
Better to get it over with quickly.
¡°Shut up!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shouted. She motioned to the bodyguard. ¡°Search her.¡±
The nurse raised her hands up.
The bodyguard searched her and handed Xiaoxiao a small bottle that was filled with powder.
Mu Xiaoxiao held up the small bottle in front of the nurse and asked, ¡°What is this?¡±
¡°I-I don¡¯t know¡¡± The nurse shook her head.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled. ¡°You are a nurse. You don¡¯t know what this is?¡±
¡°I really don¡¯t know!¡± This time, the nurse waved her hands.
Mu Xiaoxiao believed that she really didn¡¯t know. She was disappointed that she couldn¡¯t learn what the poison was called. In any case, it couldn¡¯t be anything good.
She went straight to the point and said, ¡°Just now, I saw you with a girl here. She gave you this.¡±
The nurse was stunned. She looked conflicted as she shook, then nodded her head. ¡°Yeah. Someone gave me this. It¡¯s not mine. No. This was¡ that¡¡±
¡°You don¡¯t have to exin. I just need you to do me a favor.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao had a devilish smile on her face.
The nurse quickly shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I may not be able to help you¡¡±
Obviously, she didn¡¯t want to get involved in this mess.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed, ¡°You don¡¯t want to help, but you don¡¯t have a choice!¡±
She took out her cell phone and showed the nurse the video that she had captured secretly earlier.
The nurse¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. She broke out into a sweat and tried to snatch the phone.

¡°Eh!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao retracted her hand. How could she let her snatch it?
¡°Now, you have two choices. Either I upload this video onto the Inte so that everyone can see, including the people from this hospital, or you do me a favor.¡±
The nurse pleaded with her, ¡°I beg you. Let her off, okay? I really can¡¯t help you. I¡ I¡¯m just a nobody. I can¡¯t do anything.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao tutted, and she said, annoyed, ¡°I haven¡¯t said what I need your help with, but you keep saying that you can¡¯t help. You just don¡¯t want to help me!¡±
¡°No¡¡± The nurse shook her head.
As though she had gotten her way, Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, ¡°Good. So you¡¯ll help me then.¡±
¡°No, no!¡± The nurse refused again.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. Feigning anger, she said bossily, ¡°I don¡¯t care whether you like it or not. Do you want me to upload this video online or do you want to help me? I¡¯ll give you five seconds. Five, four, three¡ Okay, I¡¯ll help you choose the second option!¡±
The nurse looked like she was about to cry, but she was helpless as she asked timidly, ¡°W-what do you want me to do then?¡±
¡°First, let me ask you about something.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pointed at her. ¡°Which patient did thatgirl want you to drug?¡±
¡°The patient in room 619¡¡± the nurse replied.
¡°What is the name of the patient?¡±
¡°It is¡¡± The nurse furrowed her brows. ¡°I forgot. The patient is a Chinese. I can¡¯t remember the name.¡±
¡°Is the name Lu Qian?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao used a different approach.
Upon hearing the name, the nurse nodded vigorously. ¡°I think that¡¯s it! I remember the surname being Lu.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shuddered inside. Indeed, it was Auntie Lu!
Damn it. Just what kind of grudge did that girl have with Auntie Lu that she would actually want to poison her!
Thinking about the things that Auntie Lu had been through, Mu Xiaoxiao ached. Auntie Lu¡¯s life was truly painful. She had to protect Auntie Lu.
The nurse seemed to have noticed something and asked, ¡°Do you know this patient? I¡¯m sorry! Sorry! Please don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s gaze was cold as she interrupted her. ¡°What I need you to do is simple. Follow the girl¡¯s orders but forget that you ever saw me. Also, I¡¯m confiscating this posion.¡±
If the girl realized that the nurse didn¡¯t obey her instructions, she might find another person to harm Auntie Lu instead.
So Xiaoxiao had to beat the poisoner at her own game. She would make the nurse pretend to follow her instructions. This way, at least Auntie Lu would be safe.
The nurse heaved a breath of relief and nodded vigorously. ¡°I understand. I¡¯ll do as you say!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pointed two fingers at her own eyes and then pointed them at the nurse¡¯s eyes in a coercive manner. ¡°I¡¯ll be watching you.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± The nurse nodded. ¡°I never wanted to hurt the patient. I really didn¡¯t want to. She forced me to¡¡±
¡°Very good. You can go now.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was afraid that if the nurse went missing for too long, the girl would grow suspicious.

Upon hearing that, the nurse fled.
Standing at the same spot, Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her chin and thought about what she should do next.
She didn¡¯t need to worry about Auntie Lu¡¯s safety for the time being. But the girl¡¯s motive for targeting Auntie Lu was the root of the problem and she still didn¡¯t understand why Auntie Lu was targeted.
A frightened voice came from the stairs above. ¡°You people¡ Who are you? What are you doing here?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked in the direction of the sound. It was an olddy, frightened as she stared at them.
To be more urate, she was looking at the two rows of ck suited men behind her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Why were they so unlucky?
She quickly smiled and said, ¡°Ma¡¯am, we¡¯re not bad people. We¡¯re only here to visit our friend.¡±
¡°Humph! Why would a bad person admit that she¡¯s a bad person? Hurry up and leave. Otherwise¡ I¡¯ll call the police!¡± The olddy said, looking as though she could take on a hundred people.
Mu Xiaoxiao admired the olddy. Her hair was snow white but she still had so much power in her speech.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, Ma¡¯am. We¡¯ll be leaving now.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao thought that they¡¯d better leave. If the olddy called the police it would be bad for them.
Mu Xiaoxiao was going to push the door to leave, but the olddy stopped her. ¡°Don¡¯t go there. There are many people there. If you go out with all of these suits you will scare everyone. Go down to the lowest floor and go out the back door.¡±
¡°Okay, thanks Ma¡¯am.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao kept a cordial smile.
Seeing her like this, the olddy found it hard to get angry with her. Atst, she said kindly, ¡°Little girl, you really don¡¯t look like a bad person but you¡¯d better go.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll leave now.¡±
She led the ck-suited bodyguards down the stairs.
Along the way, she turned back andined to them. ¡°I told you, didn¡¯t I? I told you guys not to follow me like this. How about this? I¡¯ll let you follow but only two of you.¡±
No one replied. The head bodyguard was ying dumb again.
Mu Xiaoxiao said in a negotiating tone, ¡°Ok, fine. Three of you.¡±
Still, no one replied.
Mu Xiaoxiao was angry now. She stamped her feet and said in a huff, ¡°One, okay! You! You¡¯ll be enough to protect me. The rest of you, please go somewhere I can¡¯t see you!¡±
This time shemanded them as she pointed her finger at the head bodyguard.
They remained silent.
Mu Xiaoxiao shot a look at them. She snorted inwardly. If it weren¡¯t for Yin Shaojie¡¯s sake, she would never have agreed to their protection.
With her clever little brain, how could she note up with a way to ditch these clingy guys?
Mu Xiaoxiao quickened her steps as she tried to think up something.
At the first floor she turned a corner and ran into somebody who was rushing down the hallway.
Mu Xiaoxiao moved to apologize but stopped when she saw who she had bumped into. It was the girl who was trying to poison Auntie Lu!
Was this¡ fate? Or was it God¡¯s n?

¡°What¡¯s up with you?¡± The girl seemed a little annoyed.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly hid her expression, pretending not to know her. She bowed and apologized, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t mean it. Are you okay?¡±
The girl looked up, startled as she pointed at her. ¡°You¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that she was going to scold her.
However, the girl¡¯s finger turned to the bodyguards behind her and she asked in a curious tone, ¡°Who are you people?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao knew that she had been misunderstood again, so she quickly exined, ¡°They¡¯re not bad people. They¡¯re just¡¡±
¡°They¡¯re your bodyguards? Who are you? Why bring so many bodyguards to a hospital?¡± The girl looked at Xiaoxiao.
The girl was perceptive. She could tell that the men in suits were bodyguards, unlike most other people.
She turned back and grumbled, ¡°I told you bunch to stop following me! It¡¯s very odd, okay?¡±
A group of ck suits stuck out like a sore thumb at the hospital.
She wondered if Chris was really trying to protect her. Was he trying to punk her by putting so many bodyguards on her?
Looking at the bodyguards, the girl said to them, ¡°This is a hospital. You¡¯re going to scare the patients. If you want to protect thisdy, one person is enough. It¡¯ll be less conspicuous. The others can wait outside.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao agreed as she red at the head bodyguard. ¡°Hear that?¡±
The bodyguard gave her a look. Then he turned back and made a hand gesture to his men.
In less than a minute, there was no one else behind Mu Xiaoxiao except for one bodyguard.
Mu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and smiled. It was refreshing not to have so many people following her.
¡
Mu Xiaoxiao walked with the girl along the hallway in the hospital.
After walking a short distance.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly turned back to see if there was anyone following her.
Strangely, she couldn¡¯t see the bodyguards but she still had a feeling that they were merely hiding, all of them watching her.
She nced at the bodyguard and asked, ¡°Are they hiding so that I can¡¯t see them?¡±
The bodyguard nodded faintly.
Mu Xiaoxiao was impressed. His Royal Highness¡¯s bodyguards sure were professional.
¡°If only they had done that from the beginning!¡± She gave the bodyguard a look of annoyance.
The bodyguard didn¡¯t reply and his expression didn¡¯t change either.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought he was boring so she turned to look at the girl beside her.
She had decided to walk with the girl because she wanted to use the opportunity to get to know her and see if she could find out anything about the plot to poison Auntie Lu.
The girl looked back at her and smiled. ¡°Oh yeah, are you Chinese? What is your name?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised. ¡°Yeah! Are you Chinese too?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± The girl nodded. ¡°My name is Xin Zimo. What about you?¡±
¡°My name is Mu Xiaoxiao¡ Xin? Which Xin is that?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
¡°Xin as in ¡®Xin ku¡¯ 1 .¡± Xin Zimo was used to being asked this kind of question.
¡°Xin? There¡¯s a surname like this? It¡¯s the first I¡¯ve heard of it!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was curious. The girl made a rather good impression on her. She didn¡¯t look like a bad person.

Chapter 1224: Just What Was Her Motive?
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
But of course, one may know a person for a long time and not understand their true nature. A bad person wouldn¡¯t let it show, right?
Xin Zimo hung her head slightly, and she said in a low and unhurried voice, ¡°My Papa¡ is a painter. My family is a schrly family, so it¡¯s not very unusual for us to have such a surname. It¡¯s just that people don¡¯t usuallye across it.¡±
Her father was a painter?
Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head and cast a nce at her. Wasn¡¯t her father the director of this hospital? How could he be a painter?
Xin Zimo¡¯s expression was too real. If Mu Xiaoxiao hadn¡¯t heard her personally say that her father was the director, she would have thought that Xin Zimo was telling the truth.
But why would she lie?
Because of this, Mu Xiaoxiao thought that this girl was a terrifying character.
She lied so naturally to a stranger. Just what was her motive?
Xin Zimo looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, ¡°What about you? With so many bodyguards¡ are you a rich missy? The kind that is super rich?¡±
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao suspected that she was trying to get information from her.
Perhaps she was trying to find out her real identity?
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, ¡°Nah, these bodyguards aren¡¯t mine. Someone sent them to me. Sigh, it¡¯s a bitplicated. I don¡¯t know how to exin it. Anyways, they¡¯re not my bodyguards.¡±
She turned back and shot the bodyguard an annoyed look.
¡°You don¡¯t know how much I hate them, so how can they be my bodyguards? If they were mine, I would have fired them immediately!¡±
Xin Zimo said, ¡°That friend of yours must be some big shot, right? Is he your boyfriend?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and stared at her, and she said in a joking manner, ¡°Why do you want to know this? Are you thinking of having me introduce him to you if he wasn¡¯t my boyfriend?¡±
Xin Zimo¡¯s expression was awkward. ¡°No¡ It¡¯s just¡ You look so beautiful. You must have a boyfriend, right? So I thought that the bodyguards must have been sent by your boyfriend. He¡¯s afraid that you may be unsafe outside, right?¡±
She was right.
Although the bodyguards belonged to Chris, protecting her with them had been Yin Shaojie¡¯s idea.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know why she kept asking about her boyfriend. But the more she did it, the more guarded Mu Xiaoxiao became.
Mu Xiaoxiao only smiled without confirming or denying.
Just then, Xin Zimo suddenly halted.
Puzzled, Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her to see what she was up to.
Unexpectedly, she saw Xin Zimo walking forward with a fierce demeanor. She walked up to an old man wearing a hospital gown, grabbed the ice cream in his hand, and threw it into the garbage bin.
¡°Who bought this for you?¡± Xin Zimo asked the old man angrily.
The old man was still looking at the ice cream that had been thrown into the garbage bin, looking pitiful as though he were being bullied.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt sorry for the old man.
Was this her true nature?
But why did she get so angry with this old man?

Chapter 1225: Unpopr
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Xin Zimo said angrily, ¡°I told you many times that you can¡¯t eat ice cream. You have to wait until you are fully recovered before eating these things. Moreover, the weather is so cold. Are you nning to spend the winter in the hospital?¡±
¡°I¡¯m just going to have a few bites of it. I won¡¯t eat too much of it.¡± The old man tried to justify himself.
¡°No! Not even a bite! Not even a little! Next time I see you eating ice cream, I¡¯ll make the nurse change your meals to something you won¡¯t like!¡± Xin Zimo threatened.
Upon hearing her, the old man was scared and quickly surrendered. ¡°Okay okay okay. I won¡¯t eat it, alright?¡±
¡°You said that yourself. If you don¡¯t do what you say, then you¡¯re a dog!¡±
¡°Alright, alright.¡±
Just then, a nurse came searching hurriedly. The moment she saw Xin Zimo, she looked a little frightened. ¡°Miss Alina¡ You¡¯re here? The director was just looking for you¡¡±
Alina was Xin Zimo¡¯s English name.
Xin Zimo red at the nurse and said, ¡°Why did you let the patient wander around? Do you know that Mr. Diesse almost ate ice cream just now? How can you be so negligent?¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry¡ It¡¯s my fault.¡± The nurse lowered her head and quickly apologized without even trying to defend herself.
Xin Zimo continued to lecture the nurse before telling her to walk the old man away.
Xin Zimo went back to Mu Xiaoxiao and apologized, saying, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I was caught up with something, but luckily you¡¯re still here.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked behind the girl and noticed the nurse ring back at Xin Zimo.
It seemed that Xin Zimo was really unpopr.
Mu Xiaoxiao asked, ¡°Is that old man your rtive?¡±
¡°No,¡± Xin Zimo exined. ¡°He is a patient here, not my rtive.¡±
¡°Then why do you care so much about him? When I saw you run over to scold him, I thought you were¡ I almost misunderstood you. You were doing it for his own good? Since he isn¡¯t your rtive, why do you care so much about him?¡± And he seemed quite amenable to you. Are you staff here?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
Actually, Xin Zimo looked about the same age as her. Unless her family was very poor and could not afford to send her to study, she shouldn¡¯t being out to work at such a young age.
Besides, her father was the director of this hospital. How could she not be afford to study?
¡°I¡¯m not staff here¡¡± Xin Zimo mumbled.
Mu Xiaoxiao pretended to understand and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. If you don¡¯t want to answer, then don¡¯t mind me. I was just curious and couldn¡¯t help myself. It¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t want to answer the question.¡±
¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to tell you¡ Actually, my father is the director of this hospital. Ie here often and like to wander around, so I got to know a lot of the patients. Sometimes, I¡¯ll help out the nurses. That¡¯s all.¡± Zimo said after some hesitation.
¡°Didn¡¯t you say that¡ your father was a painter?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
Xin Zimo chuckled and exined, ¡°That is my biological father. The director of this hospital is my stepfather. My biological father¡ He passed away when I was young. When my mother met my stepfather, they married, and she moved to America.¡±
So that was why¡

Although it sounded logical, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t fully believe her and still continued to maintain her suspicions.
Xin Zimo pointed to the bench at the side and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go there and have a seat. I want to talk to you more.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao kept up her smile.
The two walked over and sat down. The bodyguard stood behind Mu Xiaoxiao.
Xin Zimo asked, ¡°Did you juste from China?¡±
¡°Yeah,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said.
¡°Do youe specifically to¡ visit someone?¡± When Xin Zimo asked that, her expression was somewhat unnatural and her eyes were fixed on Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°No. I only came to the hospital to visit someone as a side trip. I came here for other reasons.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao suddenlyughed. ¡°The conversation we¡¯ve been having feels so strange. It¡¯s as if we¡¯re doing an interview. You seem to be very curious about me.¡±
Xin Zimo pped her thigh abruptly as she grinned.
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll tell you the truth!¡± Sheughed, looking a little embarrassed.
¡°Have you been lying to me just now?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her uprehendingly.
¡°Not really¡ The things that I told you are true, but I haven¡¯t made something clear.¡± Xin Zimo looked at her and said, ¡°Actually, I know about you.¡±
¡°You know about me?¡± What was the meaning of that? So she was also putting on an act earlier about not knowing her!
Xin Zimo nodded, looking a little lonely. ¡°You¡¯re Brother Yichen¡¯s friend, aren¡¯t you? You¡¯re here to visit him, right?¡±
¡°How do you know?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s brows furrowed as she looked at her.
Xin Zimoughed. ¡°To be more urate, I only saw your photo in Brother Yichen¡¯s phone, so I only know that you know Brother Yichen but I didn¡¯t know your name until today.¡±
Photo?
Mu Xiaoxiao looked puzzled.
Her WeChat¡¯s profile photo wasn¡¯t her own photo, so she couldn¡¯t have seen her profile photo when Lu Yichen was chatting with her via WeChat.
Could it be that Lu Yichen was looking at her photo taken in Moments and then Xin Zimo happened to see it?
Without needing Mu Xiaoxiao to ask, Xin Zimo said it herself, ¡°I have known Brother Yichen for many years. Before my mother married and moved to America, my family lived next to Brother Yichen. I was his neighbor.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t expect her to be rted to Lu Yichen in any way.
¡°So was Lu Yichen the one who told you that Auntie Lu was hospitalized here?¡± If so, then Lu Yichen should have a pretty good rtionship with her.
¡°No,¡± Xin Zimo sighed. ¡°Ever since I came to America, I lost contact with Brother Yichen, so I didn¡¯t expect to meet him here so coincidentally!¡±
As she said that, Xin Zimo couldn¡¯t hide the happiness in her expression.
Seeing that, Mu Xiaoxiao thought that she girl probably liked Lu Yichen.
But¡
Why did she still want to put poison in Auntie Lu¡¯s food?
Mu Xiaoxiao had always been proud of her clever brain but at this moment, she was confused.
Suddenly, Xin Zimo stared at Mu Xiaoxiao, and she asked very directly, ¡°I want to ask you one thing. Do you like Brother Yichen?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was still dwelling over the question of whether Xin Zimo was a bad person or not, so she wasn¡¯t able to respond quickly.
She stared nkly for a while.

¡°Brother Yichen likes you very much. Do you know that?¡± Xin Zimo continued saying straightforwardly without mincing her words, ¡°After reuniting with Brother Yichen, I noticed that he looks at his cell phone often. He was never the kind of person who liked to y with his cell phone. Later, I found out that he was waiting for a girl¡¯s WeChat message. He was looking at your photo. I thought that the person he was waiting for was you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know what to say.
Hadn¡¯t she lost her memory at that time? So that meant that after Lu Yichen came to America, she had hardly ever exchanged messages with him.
So the person that Xin Zimo was referring to might really be her.
Lu Yichen¡ had been waiting for her on WeChat?
Xin Zimo looked at her expression and suddenly said angrily, ¡°You¡¯re happy, right? Someone as remarkable as Brother Yichen is head over heels over you. What about you? How do you feel about him?¡±
She pointed her finger at Mu Xiaoxiao, her chin tilted up as she said, ¡°I¡¯m not going to beat about the bush. I¡¯m telling you, even if you like Brother Yichen, I won¡¯t simply let you have him!¡±
With that said, she grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s wrist assertively.
Watching her, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought that Xin Zimo was a good person, she might actually be a good fit for Lu Yichen. With her fiery personality, she might be able to melt Lu Yichen¡¯s heart.
¡°Good,¡± she replied.
¡°What?¡± Xin Zimo didn¡¯t understand what she meant.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed, ¡°Go get¡¯ em! Woo him over!¡±
Xin Zimo was startled, ¡°So, you are¡¡±
¡°I only think of Lu Yichen as a friend. Didn¡¯t you ask me if I have a boyfriend? I don¡¯t have a boyfriend, but¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiaoughed jokingly and said, ¡°I have a fianc¨¦! And we have a great rtionship.¡±
Xin Zimo eased her aggressiveness. ¡°Oh¡ then why did youe to the hospital?¡±
¡°I came to visit Auntie Lu. Did you think that I came to America just to see Lu Yichen? Of course not! I came for another reason, but I came to visit her since I¡¯m here,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao exined.
She scrutinized the girl before her. Suddenly, she was reminded of the bottle in her pocket. After some hesitation, Mu Xiaoxiao took out the small bottle from her pocket.
¡°But there is something I don¡¯t understand. This. What is this?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao held the small bottle in front of Xin Zimo.
Upon seeing it, Xin Zimo was stunned. ¡°How did you get it?¡±
With that said, she instinctively tried to snatch it.
Mu Xiaoxiao moved away, blocking her.
¡°Why did you want the nurse to put this thing in Auntie Lu¡¯s food? What are you trying to do? Do you want to harm Auntie Lu?¡±
This time, Mu Xiaoxiao asked her directly.
¡°This¡¡± Xin Zimo stammered. She looked around as if she were afraid of being seen by someone. ¡°Can you give it to me first? Papa can¡¯t see!¡±
¡°So what if your father sees it? Are you afraid of him finding out that you want to poison people?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said.
¡°Of course not!¡± Sure enough, Xin Zimo denied everything.

Mu Xiaoxiao fiddled with the small bottle between her fingers. Staring at Xin Zimo, she said slowly, ¡°I suddenly thought of something. Does your father know that you know Auntie Lu? If he knows, then do you think he will know what this thing is if I just go and asked him directly?¡±
Hearing that, Xin Zimo panicked as expected and quickly said, ¡°Don¡¯t! You can¡¯t let my father see this. He¡¯ll be angry¡¡±
¡°And you are still saying that this isn¡¯t something harmful?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pointed at her nose and questioned her.
¡°It isn¡¯t poison! This is¡¡± Xin Zimo finally couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and she confessed, ¡°I stole it from Papa. It is a very expensive medicine. I know that Brother Yichen won¡¯t ept it, so I secretly fed it to Auntie Lu, hoping that she would get better soon. I had no intention of poisoning Auntie Lu! Why would I poison her!¡±
¡°Really? But I don¡¯t believe you. What should I do?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao expressed her suspicions. After all, she couldn¡¯t just take her word for it, right? Who knew if she was lying?
Xin Zimo pursed her lips, her eyes shining as she looked at her. Suddenly, she reached out and said, ¡°Give it to me, and I will eat it in front of you. That¡¯ll prove it, right?¡±
Great! Xiaoxiao was also curious to see if she would really dare to eat it.
Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao handed the small bottle to her.
If Xin Zimo didn¡¯t dare to eat it and only wanted to take the bottle from her, then it would show that she was really guilty!
Aftering to this conclusion, Mu Xiaoxiao finally decided to agree with her terms.
After Xin Zimo took the bottle, she opened the lid, tilted her head back, and she poured the powder from the bottle into her mouth.
¡°Wait!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly called out before snatching the bottle back and capping it.
She wanted to keep some of it as there might still be some use for the powder.
Xin Zimo closed her mouth and swallowed the powder slowly.
Because it was dry, and she had no water, it was pretty hard to swallow.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know how the powder tasted.
After having a hard time swallowing it, Xin Zimo opened her mouth to show Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°See that? This is medicine, not poison!¡± Xin Zimo said, looking pained after wasting the medicine.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her face fixedly, trying to look for any slip ups. She wouldn¡¯t ept even a single one.
However, there weren¡¯t any. She seemed to be telling the truth.
Mu Xiaoxiao believed her a little more but she still had a bit of suspicion. Perhaps it was a slow acting poison or perhaps she had offered to eat the poison because she already had the antidote.
In any case, it was a matter of Auntie Lu¡¯s life, so she couldn¡¯t be careless.
She said to Xin Zimo, ¡°This isn¡¯t one hundred percent proof. I don¡¯t think you should be thinking of feeding Auntie Lu anything in the future. Leave her condition for the doctor to handle. Let the doctore up with a treatment n for her.¡±
Although Auntie Lu¡¯s illness wasn¡¯t minor, it wasn¡¯t a serious illness that was difficult to treat. As long as she followed the treatment n and went for the surgeries, it would only be a matter of time for her to recover. Thus, she didn¡¯t need to take risks and eat some unknown medicine.
Xin Zimo made apromise. ¡°Okay.¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao picked up the bottle and said, ¡°I¡¯ll take this back and run ab test on it. I¡¯ll know if you¡¯re speaking the truth or not.¡±
Even though she didn¡¯t believe her, Xin Zimo knew that her prudence meant that she was genuinely concerned about Auntie Lu, and thus had no objections.
¡°Then, Brother Yichen¡¡± Xin Zimo spoke out as she looked at her hesitantly.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a while, but still decided not to meet Lu Yichen. ¡°Don¡¯t tell him I came.¡±
Xin Zimo nodded. ¡°I got it. Thank you.¡±
Even though she knew that Brother Yichen wanted to meet Xiaoxiao, her selfish heart still didn¡¯t wish for them to meet.
Mu Xiaoxiao gestured to the bodyguard to send someone to supervise Xin Zimo.
Mu Xiaoxiao then left the hospital.
Xin Zimo looked at her as she went. The emotions reflected in her eyes wereplicated, and she felt a mix of feelings in her heart as well.
She kind of understood why Brother Yichen liked Xiaoxiao now..
However¡
So what?
She firmly believed that she was the one who could give Brother Yichen the most happiness. She was Brother Yichen¡¯s destined other half.
Xin Zimo didn¡¯t believe in anyone else but herself.
Because she was the only one who could give the people she loved happiness.
However.
What both of them had failed to notice was that Lu Yichen was standing behind a window of a building that their backs were facing and he heard everything that had happened between them.
His gaze was deep and his thoughts unfathomable.
¡
Mu Xiaoxiao returned to where Annie was staying.
It was situated among a bunch of really old vis. The wealthy had lived in this area in the past but those days had long passed.
Because Chris¡¯s grandma had lived here when she was young, Annie was fond of this ce. Thus, she stayed at this ce every time she returned to America.
¡°Xiaoxiao? Are you okay?¡± Annie knocked before entering the room and walked over to where Xiaoxiao was.
¡°Me? I¡¯m fine.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was standing by the balcony and watching the dark sky.
¡°You¡¯ve looked unhappy ever since you came back. Did something happen at the hospital?¡± Even Annie could tell that she was in a bad mood.
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed again.
When she studied in the US, there were quite a few people who liked her. Even though they had tried to pursue her, she had rejected them all but had maintained friendships with all of them.
But now she wondered if they had really liked her that much.
However, Lu Yichen was different¡
Mu Xiaoxiao felt frustrated when she thought about this.
She really liked Lu Yichen as a friend and didn¡¯t want to hurt him.
Even though Qiqing had told her that Lu Yichen liked her, she hadn¡¯t taken it seriously. She thought that so long as she didn¡¯t like him and told him clearly, the two could still remain friends.
However, she felt really vexed and guilty after hearing what Xin Zimo had said.
Had she done something wrong?
Was she not supposed to help Lu Yichen?
Would he stop liking her if she didn¡¯t help him?

Mu Xiaoxiao waved her hand frustratedly and said, ¡°Never mind. Let¡¯s not talk about this anymore! Has your grandma met Ye Sijue?¡±
¡°Not yet. Grandma isn¡¯t feeling well today, so the doctor said not to disturb her and let her rest for one night first.¡± Annie¡¯s eyes brimmed with worry as she said this.
Mu Xiaoxiao patted her shoulder. ¡°Your grandma will be fine. Oh yeah, hasn¡¯t your luck always been very good? You should stay by her side and bring her luck. She will get better.¡±
¡°Yeah! Got it.¡± Annie nodded.
Mu Xiaoxiao rested her arms on the railing as she looked at the street lights below. In a gloomy voice, she said, ¡°Where has Yin Shaojie gone¡¡±
She suddenly missed him a lot!
However, he had told her that he wouldn¡¯t be returning tonight before he left.
Wouldn¡¯t that mean that she had to wait until the next day to see him?
However, she really wanted to see him right now¡
Yin Shaojie, can you hurry home?
Mu Xiaoxiao chanted in her heart.
Suddenly, two car lights approached from the distance and stopped at the entrance of the vi..
She then saw two people get out of the car.
¡°Eh, that¡¯s Yin¡¡±
Before Annie could finish her words, Mu Xiaoxiao dashed out of the room like the wind.
After a short while Annie saw Mu Xiaoxiao jump into Yin Shaojie¡¯s arms.
¡°You¡¯re back?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked delighted and her moodiness seemed to have disappeared.
Yin Shaojie reached out to hug her tightly and kissed her temples. ¡°It¡¯ste, and you¡¯re still awake?¡±
¡°Hehe, I knew you woulde back. I¡¯ve been waiting for you,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao grinned as she said.
Nimo couldn¡¯t stand to look at the disy of affection in front of him and beckoned to them. ¡°Let¡¯s go in.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t realize that Nimo was walking weirdly until she saw that he was injured when they arrived at the living room.
Chris came down as well. He saw Nimo and frowned. ¡°You¡¯re hurt?¡±
He then ordered his subordinates to fetch the first aid kit.
¡°It¡¯s just a minor injury,¡± Nimo said as he sat on the sofa like the master of the house while a helper tended to his wounds.
Chris looked at Yin Shaojie and observed that he wasn¡¯t injured.
This meant that only Nimo was hurt in their excursion.
He knew Nimo. He was very crafty and afraid of pain, and thus didn¡¯t let himself get injured often.
Thus, this meant that Yin Shaojie was more skilled than Nimo.
Before Nimo¡¯s wound had been fully taken care of, Yin Shaojie took Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand and made said their farewells.
¡°We¡¯re leaving now?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised as well, for it was midnight now.
¡°Yeah, I¡¯ve already booked the flight,¡± Yin Shaojie nodded as he said. He got her to call the helpers to pack their luggage.
Chris saw his behavior and frowned. He asked Nimo, ¡°Did something happen?¡±
¡°Nothing happened. Everything¡¯s settled,¡± Nimo said lightly as he smiled.
Chris believed him, since Yin Shaojie¡¯s face didn¡¯t look severe.
Annie was reluctant to see Xiaoxiao leave, but she was unable to do anything in this situation. The two girls looked like they were unwilling to part ways.
Ye Sijue was not leaving, of course. He was going to stay and apany Annie before going back to China with her.

The helpers brought down their luggage.
Yin Shaojie walked up to take the luggage and gestured to Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°Xiaoxiao, we should get going.¡±
¡°Xiaoxiao¡¡± Annie hugged Xiaoxiao, reluctant to release her.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed and patted her back. ¡°Silly girl, you¡¯ll see me in a few days. Oh yeah, say hi to your grandma for me when you see her. I hope I¡¯ll have the chance to meet her next time.¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Annie nodded before letting her go half-heartedly.
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be going,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said. She walked to Yin Shaojie and he took her hand.
After saying their goodbyes, they left.
It was midnight, and even though they were in an international metropolis, there were no crowds and noise at night. It was quiet, as though the whole city were asleep.
asionally they would see another car on the road.
In the car, Mu Xiaoxiao leaned against Yin Shaojie¡¯s chest. She looked outside the window at the night sky, daydreaming.
¡°Are you hungry?¡± Yin Shaojie caressed her forehead and looked at her dazed face. She lookedzy.
Mu Xiaoxiao was going to shake her head, but she then felt a little hungry and nodded.
¡°There probably aren¡¯t any stores open at this hour, but there should be a 24-hour convenience store around. I¡¯ll get the driver to stop and get you some food if I see one, okay?¡± Yin Shaojie looped an arm around her tiny waist and kissed her cheek.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need. Let¡¯s look for food at the airport.¡±
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Lie on me and sleep if you¡¯re tired. I¡¯ll call you up when we arrive.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and closed her eyes. She snuggled into his embrace, trying to find afortable position.
After about an hour, they finally arrived at the airport.
Originally, they wanted to order something after going to the VIP lounge.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao saw a noodle store and wanted to eat there.
After finding a ce to sit, Yin Shaojie told her to stay put before he went to order food.
Mu Xiaoxiao was bored and was about to y with her phone before she heard the pitiful cries of a child nearby.
¡°What do I do?¡± A little girl was squatting on the floor, her teary eyes staring at something on the ground.
It seemed that she had dropped her lollipop.
Because the wrapper had already been opened, she couldn¡¯t pick it back up to eat it.
There was a little boy standing in front of the little girl. He didn¡¯t know what to do as he watched her cry and tried to pull her up as heforted her.
¡°Get up first. I¡¯ll give you my lollipop.¡±
The little boy pulled the little girl up and stuffed the lollipop he had into her hands.
The little girl looked down at the lollipop in her hands and stopped crying. Her gaze clearly showed that she really wanted the lollipop, but she hesitated a little and said to the boy, ¡°You won¡¯t have one if you give it to me.¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay. I don¡¯t like lollipops.¡± Afraid that she would reject him, the little boy took the lollipop away suddenly, peeled the wrapped off, and stuffed it into her mouth.
¡°How is it? Is it good? Mine¡¯s blueberry vored,¡± the little boy smiled as he asked.
¡°Mine was strawberry-vored!¡± The little girl was grinning widely. Kids were so easily satisfied and could be happy only after a short while.
¡°Let¡¯s go back to uncle. They¡¯re probably going to finish eating soon. We¡¯ll be boarding the ne once they¡¯re done.¡±
Chapter 1232 - The Mysterious Deskmate (2)
Chapter 1232: The Mysterious Deskmate (2)Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The little boy took the little girl¡¯s hand.
The little girl stopped in her tracks suddenly. She took out the lollipop and held it out to him. ¡°Have some too.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want any.¡± The little boy shook his head.
¡°You want to! Just eat it!¡± The little girl pouted and pushed it towards his mouth.
The little boy had no choice and he licked it. ¡°Okay, I¡¯m done. The rest is for you.¡±
¡°No way, we¡¯re going to share this,¡± the little girl said, smiling.
The little children shared the same lollipop as they walked away together.
Mu Xiaoxiao cupped her chin with her hand, smiling faintly as she looked at them walk away.
¡°What are you looking at?¡± Yin Shaojie returned, carrying something. Seeing how she was so focused on something else, he waved a hand in front of her eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and hit him suddenly.
Yin Shaojie was puzzled. ¡°Why did you hit me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao took her food and snickered. ¡°I remembered now that you kept snatching my candy to eat when we were kids. You¡¯re despicable!¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. ¡°Why are you bringing up what happened when we were kids? Do you not remember how many candies I gave you in order to cajole you?¡±
¡°You, cajoling me? Do you not remember who made me cry beforeing to cajole me?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao red at him.
Yin Shaojie raised his hands in surrender. ¡°Okay. That was me. I¡¯m guilty as charged, okay? Hurry up and eat. We can discuss where to go in the meantime.¡±
¡°What do you mean ¡®where to go¡¯?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stole a piece of prawn from his bowl.
Yin Shaojie looked at her mysteriously. cing his chopsticks down, he took out his phone and showed it to her. ¡°I booked flights to many different ces. We¡¯ll go wherever you want to go.¡±
¡°Aren¡¯t we returning to China?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled.
¡°Who said that we had to? It¡¯s okay even if we don¡¯t do that. I was only lying to them. There are a lot of airlines operating tonight and you can choose from more than ten countries to go to.¡± Yin Shaojie exined his ns. ¡°Let¡¯s go to a random country for fun for two to three days before flying back to America. Your dad will be home after that and then we can celebrate your birthday!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. ¡°Celebrate my birthday in America? But why?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked into her eyes and said gently, ¡°I know you¡¯d rather spend your birthday with your dad, right? We¡¯ll celebrate it in America. When ites, I¡¯ll call my parents and Qiqing and the rest toe too. It¡¯ll be the same. You have many friends here too and you can invite them all and we¡¯ll hold a big birthday party. What do you say?¡±
Her rtives in America might want to celebrate her birthday as well, and it would thus be more convenient to hold it in America.
Mu Xiaoxiao teared up at his words.
¡°You¡¯ve arranged everything for me?¡±
She didn¡¯t expect him to be so considerate and thoughtful.
Indeed, she had really wanted to spend her birthday with her family.
However¡
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled at him, her eyes sparkling. ¡°I want to spend this year¡¯s birthday in China. So, let¡¯s go back to China!¡±
¡°What about your dad?¡± Yin Shaojie asked.
¡°Him? He has to return to China of course! Papa has been saying that he wants to return to City A and take a look around, but he said that he was too busy with thepany to leave thest time I asked him to return with me. Since we have the opportunity to celebrate my birthday this time, he will take some time off no matter how busy he is.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled.

Yin Shaojie smiled and nodded. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go back to China.¡±
It was a bit of a pity though.
He had nned for them to go to a city she liked to y in to create memories.
However, it seemed like the n had changed.
It was okay though, for they had a lifetime to make memories.
¡
A ck SUV stopped at the entrance of the airport.
The door to the car opened and a tall figure got out. He was clothed in ck and seemed to disappear into the night sky bar his bright eyes, which shined brightly, as though they were stars in the night sky.
He took up the bag beside him and swung it over his shoulder casually, before walking into the airport wordlessly.
¡°Wait! Zeye! Wait for me!¡± A guy wearing a brown windbreaker rushed out of the car and caught up to him.
Jun Zeye stopped in his tracks and looked back at him.
He had a mixture of both Chinese and American features. They were sharp but masculine, and his smile had a ruffian-like quality.
¡°Say, why are you walking so fast? Are you that afraid that I¡¯ll make you stay?¡±
¡°If you have something to say, spit it out.¡± Jun Zeye couldn¡¯t be bothered to listen to his nonsense.
The guy stood up straight and straightened the cor of his windbreaker with affection. ¡°Firstly, I want to thank you for your great help. If not, we wouldn¡¯t have been able to catch the international drug dealer. Who knows how many other people he¡¯d harm if he had escaped? Aiyoh, I know you don¡¯t like to listen to praise, but my boss told me to thank you.¡±
Jun Zeye raised two fingers and indicated, ¡°I¡¯ll give you two minutes to finish.¡±
¡°Two minutes is too short.¡± The guyined, but knowing that he stood by his words, he said hastily, ¡°Anyway, my boss says that he wants to maintain rtions with you, so he wants to send you some good stuff when you¡¯re back in China as thanks, so¡ your address please¡¡±
¡°No way.¡± Jun Zeye rejected bluntly.
The guy didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. ¡°I know that you¡¯re ufortable with giving out your address, but don¡¯t you have any other address you can receive packages at? Just give a random one. I¡¯ve got to give my boss an answer.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need to go through such trouble.¡± Jun Zeye frowned slightly. ¡°It¡¯s not convenient to give out the addresses.¡±
Helpless, the guy could only drop the matter.
¡°Alright then. I won¡¯t put you on the spot. Can you promise me one more thing?¡± The guy raised two fingers.
Jun Zeye looked at him. ¡°You have one minute.¡±
¡°Ahem¡ After my boss¡¯ daughter saw you, her interest in China was piqued suddenly. She said that she wants to go to China for fun during the holidays and wants you to be her guide¡¡± The guy spoke with difficulty.
¡°No way.¡±
The guy evidently anticipated Zeye¡¯s response because heughed bitterly. ¡°I told her that you wouldn¡¯t agree to it, but she has been spoiled by her dad. Moreover, my boss admires you a lot, so he wants to let her pursue you.¡±
¡°Let her try.¡± Jun Zeye¡¯s gaze was a little sharp. He said bluntly, ¡°If she annoys me, I¡¯ll send her packing.¡±
Chapter 1234 - The Mysterious Deskmate (4)

The guy sighed, knowing that Zeye wasn¡¯t one to have tender, protective feelings for girls.
¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll tell my boss every word you said!¡±
¡°Two minutes is over,¡± Jun Zeye said with a nk expression.
¡°Oh yeah. Are you really sure you don¡¯t want me to upgrade your flight to first ss? You didn¡¯t even give me time to prepare for your flight and my boss scolded me for not being a good host.¡±
Seeing the look on Jun Zeye¡¯s face, the guy knew what was on his mind and quickly said, ¡°Okay, okay. I won¡¯t bother you anymore. Remember to let me know the next time youe again.¡±
Jun Zeye didn¡¯t reply to him as he turned around and walked in.
The guy watched as Jun Zeye disappeared before returning to the car.
His subordinate, a Caucasian, curiously leaned over and asked, ¡°Boss, who is he? He seems pretty young. How is he such a big shot?¡±
Their entire Narcotics Bureau, especially their group, was in charge of fighting drug-trafficking on the international level. But they needed help from an outsider, a kid who looked like he was in high school. It seemed unimaginable to the people in their group. It seemed even more magical after they witnessed the kid¡¯s skills.
To some foreigners, China, was a mysterious ce.
Thus, the people in their group were even more curious about this kid.
The man chuckled, tapping his subordinate¡¯s shoulder as he said, ¡°He is only sixteen years old! You have no idea. When I met him, he was only¡ fourteen years old? At that time, I was already stupefied at his skill. But only two yearster, he had be even more formidable. Don¡¯tpare yourself with him. You¡¯ll only go mad.¡±
¡°What? He¡¯s only sixteen years old?!¡± The subordinate gasped, and he said incredulously, ¡°God, how did he reach his level of skill? I really want to know too! Do they have some special training in China? Boss, should we go there to learn from them?¡±
The man only smiled and shook his head as he said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±
¡°Boss, you seem like you know him well. Why don¡¯t you tell him to teach us?¡±
¡°Keep dreaming.¡±
¡
After getting his ticket at the check-in counter, Jun Zeye looked around and walked to the side.
Coincidentally, Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie came walking in opposite him.
They passed by each other.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie went to the VIP area to get their tickets before heading to the security checkpoint.
As Jun Zeye walked past a row of seats at the terminal, there were two children ying and the little girl suddenly turned and bumped into his long leg.
Even though it was only less than a second, he could have dodged it. But if he dodged it, the little girl would have fallen. Thus, he chose not to dodge and he even reached out to hold the little girl¡¯s shoulder lest she fell backward.
The little girl was stunned for a moment before shouting, ¡°My candy!¡±
The lollipop in her hand was lying on the ground.
The little boy quickly came up tofort her, ¡°Don¡¯t pick it up. It¡¯s dirty. You can¡¯t eat it.¡±
¡°But¡ You gave me this lollipop¡¡± The little girl cried.
She rubbed her eyes and suddenly a bright color appeared before her eyes.
The little girl stared nkly. Then she looked up and saw a cool, handsome, young guy with candy in his hand.

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°This is for you.¡± Jun Zeye sounded less stiff and there seemed to be a hint of gentleness in his eyes.
He proffered the candy to the little girl.
The candy had a cute rabbit packaging and the little girl was enthralled by it. Although her mother had taught her that she shouldn¡¯t take things from strangers¡ but she really liked the candy because it was really cute.
What should I do?
The little girl¡¯s eyes lit up but she seemed hesitant.
Jun Zeye simply pulled her little hand over and put the candy into her hand before continuing on.
The little girl stared nkly. Then she quickly turned around and shouted at him, ¡°Thanks, Mister!¡±
She took the candy, smiling happily as though he were the best present in the world.
¡
The next day.
Mu Xiaoxiao was woken by someone.
As soon as she opened her eyes, an elegant face appeared right in front of her. As the sunlight fell upon his face, it was such a dashing sight that she felt as if she were going to faint.
¡°What are you doing¡¡± Her voice was raspy as she waved her little paw at him.
Yin Shaojie grabbed her hand and pulled her up.
¡°It¡¯s time to get up. You¡¯ve been sleeping for a long time. Get up and eat something.¡±
¡°What time is it?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s brows furrowed as she pulled back her hand. She hugged the soft pillow and buried her little head in it, looking as though she didn¡¯t want to leave.
¡°It¡¯s nine-thirty!¡± Yin Shaojie said helplessly. His long fingers reached over and pinched her nose.
Mu Xiaoxiao wiggled her little head because the pinching irritated her. ¡°Stop it. I want to continue sleeping. I¡¯m tired from the long flight, okay? And I have to recover from jetg¡¡±
¡°No more sleeping. Get up and eat breakfast.¡± Yin Shaojie was bossy. He reached his hands under her, attempting to lift her.
But Mu Xiaoxiao was very proficient at dawdling in bed. She rolled to the other side of the bed so that he couldn¡¯t have his way.
¡°Let me sleep for five more minutes¡¡± She raised her hand and spread her fingers at him.
¡°Alright,¡± Yin Shaojie said.
However, shortly after he came to disturb her again.
¡°Boohoo, let me sleep for another five more minutes¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao cried in protest, her voice muffled by the pillow.
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°It¡¯s been five minutes already. Hurry up. The breakfast is getting cold.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment. Had five minutes passed already?
She didn¡¯t believe it. He must be lying!
This time, Yin Shaojie had been very mischievous. He went in front of the bed, grabbed her ankle, and pulled her toward him.
Mu Xiaoxiao cried out, jerking her legs as she tried to kick him.
However, Yin Shaojie pped her butt and snorted, ¡°Behave yourself!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and rubbed her butt, and said pitiably, ¡°Why did you hit me¡ Bastard!¡±
Yin Shaojie reached under her arms and lifted her up, making her sit at the end of the bed.
¡°If I let you sleep again, you¡¯ll sleep until the end of time. You didn¡¯t eat much on the ne, and you¡¯ve been sleeping for so long. If you still refuse to eat, it¡¯ll be bad for your stomach, okay?¡± he lectured her.
¡°I¡¯m tired¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s tone sounded like that of a spoiled child.
¡°You still have to eat something first. After you eat, you can rest for as long as you like.¡± She wasn¡¯t going to go back to school immediately anyways.
Yin Shaojie pulled her up onto her feet.

Mu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to finally open her eyes. She snorted and red at him with bleary eyes.
¡°Go freshen up. If you don¡¯t want to move, I don¡¯t mind helping you to change your clothes.¡± Yin Shaojie smirked sinisterly. He even went to unbutton her pajamas.
¡°Pervert!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao swatted his hand away.
¡°This is perverted?¡± Yin Shaojie raised his eyebrow disapprovingly.
¡°What else?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said.
Yin Shaojie smiled and suddenly reached out to grab her slender waist, his sexy thin lips kissing her on the neck.
¡°What are you doing? It tickles¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t take it seriously and onlyughed.
The next second, she felt a warm slick going over her skin.
It was his tongue.
Mu Xiaoxiao trembled and her voice became weak. ¡°Stop licking¡¡±
¡°I¡¯ll bite, then.¡± Yin Shaojie opened his mouth slightly and bit her, leaving a set of shallow teeth marks.
¡°Are a vampire?¡± Mu Xiaoxiaoughed.
¡°Yeah, I¡¯m a vampire. I will suck you dry and eat you up.¡± Yin Shaojie said as his strong palm sped her waist, pressing her tightly against him.
¡°Stop licking, already!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao felt very ticklish as she tried to push him away.
Xiaoxiao¡¯s sweet scent filled his nostrils.
He was only joking just now. But now, he was hooked and became restless.
Men tended to be easily aroused in the morning.
Moreover, he had been holding himself back for a long time. Without satisfying his desire, his thirst would only continue to grow.
The two were romping and twisting about.
Yin Shaojie threw Mu Xiaoxiao onto the bed. He got on top of her and pressed her down.
¡°Hey, get up,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said breathlessly as she poked his shoulder.
After toying about, her sleepiness was gone. And now that she was feeling awake, she was hungry.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t say anything but only buried his head in her neck.
Mu Xiaoxiao almost thought he was asleep. She poked him again and said softly, ¡°Get up. You got what you want. I¡¯m hungry now. I want to get up and eat breakfast.¡±
Yin Shaojie then pushed himself up with his long arms.
¡°Go brush your teeth and wash your face.¡± He pulled her up and pushed toward the bathroom.
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao thought that he was a little weird. She turned back to look and then he pushed her inside. She closed the door.
A few minutester.
Mu Xiaoxiao came out but he wasn¡¯t there anymore.
Could he have gone down by himself already?
Mu Xiaoxiao walked out of the room and went down to the living room, but Yin Shaojie was not there either. She only saw Mama Yin there.
Upon seeing Mu Xiaoxiao, Mama Yin smiled and waved at her. ¡°Baby, you¡¯re up? Come here. Breakfast is getting cold already! Eh? Where¡¯s Shaojie? Wasn¡¯t he waking you up?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and looked puzzled as well. ¡°I went to freshen up but I didn¡¯t see him after I came out.¡±
Smelling the sweet smell of food, the glutton in her was fully awakened.
She was really hungry now. The question of ¡®Where did Yin Shaojie go?¡¯ was thrown into the back of her mind.
She had to eat before she could have the energy to think!
After a while, Yin Shaojie appeared at the top of the stairs.
Chapter 1237 - The Mysterious Deskmate (7)

He had changed his clothes.
When he sat down beside her, Mu Xiaoxiao felt something. She wrinkled her nose at him, leaned over, and sniffed him.
¡°You¡¡± He took a shower?
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t finish her sentence because a thought came to her mind.
Earlier in the room when heid down on her, there seemed to be something hard poking her.
Mu Xiaoxiao then realized what it was and she blushed.
¡°What is it?¡± Mama Yin asked curiously.
¡°Nothing!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao hastily shook her head.
Yin Shaojie ate breakfast with her.
However, he ate faster. After eating, he sat beside her and watched her eat.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt embarrassed as he watched her.
She kept feeling as though his eyes were filled with lust.
¡°Stop looking at me!¡± she said to him.
Mama Yin smiled as she watched the two of them acting lovey-dovey.
Mu Xiaoxiao finally finished eating and stood up.
Mama Yin said, ¡°Okay, Xiaoxiao is done eating breakfast. Didn¡¯t you say that you have to go to school? Hurry up then.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao realized that Yin Shaojie had been waiting to have breakfast together. After he was done eating, he still wanted to stay and watch her finish breakfast.
¡°You¡¯re going to school?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie nodded, ¡°Yeah. There are some matters that came up at the Student Union, and they asked me to go back to deal with it.¡±
He was supposed to have left in the morning but he had been reluctant to leave Xiaoxiao.
¡°Oh, see you then. I¡¯ll be good at home!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao beamed at him.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s well-defined fingers tapped rhythmically on the table. ¡°But now, I¡¯ve decided to take you with me.¡±
¡°Why?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao eximed unhappily.
Yin Shaojie seemed to have seen through her. ¡°Because if I leave you at home, you will wander around.¡±
So it¡¯d be better to take her with him.
For some reason, he felt a vague sense of unease.
It hadn¡¯t been there in the morning.
The feeling came suddenly. It was quite strange.
He had never believed in mystical things but he did believe in his own intuition.
In any case, he wanted to take her with him.
Yin Shaojie tapped on her shoulder and ordered her, ¡°Go and change your clothes. I¡¯ll give you ten minutes.¡±
If she wasn¡¯t done in ten minutes, then he wouldn¡¯t mind helping her himself.
Mu Xiaoxiao knew what he implied without him saying it.
Mu Xiaoxiao refused toply and protested to Mama Yin, ¡°Mama Yin, look at him! How can he be so bossy? If he has business in school, he should go there himself. Why does he have to take me along? Don¡¯t you think he¡¯s being mean?¡±
Mama Yin gave a look that seemed to say ¡®I know how you feel¡¯, and she said, ¡°That¡¯s how it is when you¡¯re in love. You¡¯re joined to the hip and don¡¯t want to be separated for even a second.¡±
¡°¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or cry.
Even Mama Yin wasn¡¯t helping her. What else could she do?
¡°Come on, you still have nine minutes.¡± Yin Shaojie sat arrogantly as he watched her.
Mu Xiaoxiao gave him a squint, snorted, and stood up.
Then she stomped upstairs.
Before nine minutes were up, she came down wearing a change of clothes.

Yin Shaojie held her hand. They greeted Mama Yin and went out.
Sitting in the front passenger seat, Mu Xiaoxiao gave him a sideways nce, and muttered, ¡°I was going to¡ Humph!¡±
¡°What did you say?¡± Yin Shaojie buckled the seat belt. Because she was speaking too quietly, he didn¡¯t hear her clearly, so he casually asked for rification.
He guessed that she must have been scolding him.
¡°I didn¡¯t say anything.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. Why would she tell him? She felt a little guilty because he had to take a cold shower. Initially, she was thinking about how topensate him on her birthday.
Why would she want to give herself as a present to him when it was clearly her birthday?
It didn¡¯t seem logical!
Mu Xiaoxiao hung her head as she thought about it.
Why not give herself to him during his birthday instead?
She imagined what it would look like.
She would put on a set of clothes that look like a gift, hide in a big box, and wait for him to open it. When he opened it, she would quickly pop up and give him a surprise!
Wearing a butterfly knot so that Yin Shaojie could pull it apart as if opening a gift was a given as well.
Hehe!
Not a bad idea!
However¡ her enthusiasm waned as she thought that his birthday. It was still a long time from now.
She was an excitable person. If she had a good idea, she wanted to implement it right away.
If she had to wait too long she would lose interest!
Mu Xiaoxiao folded her arms, her finger tapping her lips. She didn¡¯t notice Yin Shaojie watching her.
Oh yeah, Christmas would being after her birthday.
Why not implement the n on Christmas instead?
Then what about her birthday?
Mu Xiaoxiao was gloomy. She wanted to have an unforgettable memory on her birthday.
Moreover, this was the first birthday since they had officially gotten together.
She couldn¡¯t make up her mind. How should she decide?
Before she knew it, the car stopped, and they had reached Shangde.
¡°Hey, what were you thinking about?¡± Yin Shaojie asked.
¡°I was thinking if, on my birthday, I should make myself¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao unwittingly said what she had been thinking. Fortunately, she quickly snapped out of it and stopped herself.
¡°Make yourself what?¡± Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes. His intuition was telling him that there was something fishy going on and that it must be something important.
¡°Nothing!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao tried to hide it. Afraid that he would see through her, she averted her gaze, looked down at the seat belt, and was about to open the door to get out.
¡°Wait.¡± Yin Shaojie stopped her. He reached out and closed the door.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little flustered, afraid that he would force a confession out of her.
She wanted to give him a big surprise, so she couldn¡¯t let him find out about it!
¡°What¡ did you say just now? What do you want to do on your birthday?¡± Yin Shaojie pointed at her, his tall body leaning closer.
She pursed her lips tightly, afraid that she would be forced to confess.
She had to keep this a secret no matter what!

¡°How is it any of your business? You¡¯re very strange. Do I have to tell you everything that I do?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao snorted and tilted up her chin.
Yin Shaojie nodded shamelessly. ¡°Of course you need to. I¡¯m your hubby.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao wagged a finger at him. ¡°Not yet. We¡¯re only engaged, not married. Who knows what will happen in the future? Maybe¡¡±
¡°I dare you to say it.¡± Yin Shaojie red at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and smiled. ¡°Okay okay. I won¡¯t say it. Let go. I have to get out. Aren¡¯t you in a hurry to deal with the Student Union¡¯s affairs? Hurry up and go.¡±
¡°It¡¯s no hurry.¡± Yin Shaojie stared at her. Just when she was about to open the door, he grabbed her hand.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared back at him.
Just then, something came flying and hit the windshield before bouncing off.
The loud noise shocked Mu Xiaoxiao.
Yin Shaojie frowned. His sharp eyes turned to the front.
It was a basketball.
But why did a basketball hit them?
Although there was an outdoor basketball court more than a few dozen meters away, who, in the whole of Shangde, would dare to hit his car?
Very quickly, he got the answer.
A ck figure jumped up onto the hood. He squatted down aggressively, looking down at Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie in the car.
Mu Xiaoxiao squinted through the sunlight, trying to see who the person before them was.
¡°Feng¡ Tianqi?¡± she eximed
Why was he here?
Feng Tianqi was squatted on the hood dashingly. He wagged his finger at her and said, ¡°We sure have an affinity for each other. I thought I wouldn¡¯t be able to find you but you showed up just as I was about to leave.¡±
Yin Shaojie stared at him with anger in his eyes. ¡°Get off!¡±
Feng Tianqi was too arrogant. He dared to jump onto his car?
Feng Tianqi looked at him and jumped off the hood. His long finger touched the front of the car, and he tut-tutted. ¡°Custom Bugatti? Not bad!¡±
He went to the front passenger seat, opened the door, and reached out to hold Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand.
Yin Shaojie pulled Mu Xiaoxiao into his arms. ¡°You stomped on my car. You think it¡¯s over so easily?¡±
Feng Tianqi folded his arms. Meeting Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes, he smiled and said, ¡°What do you want then? You want me to pay up? No problem! Give me this car and I will pay you for it.¡±
Yin Shaojie snorted, ¡°You wish!¡±
The car was custom-made. The process from ordering to getting the car took a few months time
Feng Tianqi was sad to hear that as he admired the streamlined body of the car.
He really liked it.
Chapter 1240 - The Mysterious Deskmate (10)
Chapter 1240: The Mysterious Deskmate (10)
However, Yin Shaojie saw through his intention.
¡°What do you want, then? You want me to pay you directly? How much?¡± Feng Tianqi seemed nonchnt as he stuck a hand in his pocket and smiled at Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie smirked and stared at him sharply.
Mu Xiaoxiao pulled Yin Shaojie¡¯s hand and got out of the car.
¡°Hey, why are you at my school? Are you here looking for me?¡± she asked Feng Tianqi.
Feng Tianqiughed heartily. ¡°You could say that.¡±
¡°What does that mean?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked puzzled.
Yin Shaojie got out of the car. He mmed the door closed.
He stared at Mu Xiaoxiao, waiting for her to notice him.
However, she didn¡¯t even look at him as though she didn¡¯t hear the sound of him mming the door.
Putting his hand on the car, Feng Tianqi turned to smile happily at her and said, ¡°Because from today, I¡¯ll be attending sses in Shangde! Oh yeah, I¡¯m in Year One. You are too, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him strangely. ¡°You¡ Did you really transfer to Shangde?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Feng Tianqi nodded. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you? My family transferred me here but Ieft. You have no idea how shocked my mom was. I thought her eyes were gonna fall out!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or cry. Why would anyone say that about their own mother?
Standing to the side, Yin Shaojie was annoyed. He went over and put his arm over Xiaoxiao¡¯s shoulder very naturally.
¡°Weren¡¯t you participating in thatpetition in America? Back so soon? Must not have ced very well.¡±
Feng Tianqi tilted up his chin and said proudly, ¡°I won!¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes narrowed as he asked, ¡°Really?¡±
If true, then Feng Tianqi was really good. Getting first ce was no easy feat.
Feng Tianqi coughed. His expression was unnatural as he said, ¡°This rules changed this year. Those under 18 years old can¡¯t take part. Butter, I found the person who got first ce and raced him. I beat him.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help butugh. ¡°That doesn¡¯t count.¡±
Feng Tianqi red at her and said, ¡°Of course it counts! He is the champion and I won against him. So that means that I¡¯m better than him!¡±
She didn¡¯t continueughing at him lest he got angry.
¡°Okay, okay, okay, forget it. You¡¯re considered pretty strong already if you can win against the champion!¡± she said agreeably.
Feng Tianqi wouldn¡¯t be satisfied with just that and said haughtily, ¡°Considered pretty strong? I¡¯ve always been strong!¡±
Yin Shaojie snorted disapprovingly.
Mu Xiaoxiao nudged him lightly, telling him to watch himself.
Feng Tianqi looked at her and asked, ¡°Oh yeah, why are you sote to school? Your schedule is a little too free and easy, huh? Just like mine!¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t want toe in at first. I just came back from America and had to adjust to the time zone.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao red furtively at Yin Shaojie.
Feng Tianqiughed, ¡°And I don¡¯t need to adjust to the different time zone.¡±
Chapter 1241 - The Mysterious Deskmate (11)
Chapter 1241: The Mysterious Deskmate (11)
Mu Xiaoxiao was about to say something but Yin Shaojie turned her around.
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t stand them chatting so happily and he said impatiently, ¡°Let¡¯s go. I have to go handle some things at the Student Union. I don¡¯t have time to talk nonsense with him here.¡±
Feng Tianqi followed behind them. ¡°If you have something to do, go ahead then. Why are you taking her with you?¡±
¡°How is that your concern?¡± Yin Shaojie shot him a look.
¡°Of course, it¡¯s my concern. I¡¯m here to look for Xiaoxiao. She wants to apany me,¡± Feng Tianqi said.
Yin Shaojie stopped in his tracks. Wearing a dangerous smile, he stared at him and said, ¡°Kid, I haven¡¯t settled that debt with you yet. Are you courting death?¡±
Asking his wife to apany him? Did he even know how much danger he was in?
Feng Tianqi said disapprovingly, ¡°I didn¡¯t say that I wasn¡¯t going to settle the debt. Let¡¯s settle it then. How much do you want me to pay?¡±
Yin Shaojie stared at him.
After a while, he said, ¡°How about this? I don¡¯t want you to pay. But, you have to do something for me. Do that and I¡¯ll call us even.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll either pay with money or cars. Why should I do for you?¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded and said magnanimously, ¡°Alright, pay me with a car.¡±
Seemed fair enough.
¡°Hey! That¡¯s not what I meant by paying with cars!¡± Feng Tianqi realized that he was being cheated. He only stomped on his car. Why should he pay him with an expensive car?
Even if his family were rich, he wasn¡¯t a rich idiot!
Yin Shaojie smirked faintly and heughed at him, ¡°Weren¡¯t you the one who said you were going to pay with a car? Are you going to go back on your word?¡±
¡°You¡¡± Feng Tianqi realized that he couldn¡¯t beat him in an argument and was infuriated. ¡°That wasn¡¯t even what I meant in the first ce!¡±
No wonder his brother warned him not to provoke the ire of Yin Shaojie.
Watching them argue, Mu Xiaoxiao sighed. She tugged at Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Okay, aren¡¯t you in a hurry to settle some things? Go on.¡±
She pulled him to leave and to separate the two lest they get into a bigger argument. Feng Tianqi didn¡¯t seem like he had a good temper and the Great Master Yin didn¡¯t have a good temper either.
What if they broke out into a fight?
¡°Wait!¡± Feng Tianqi shouted at them.
¡°Yin Shaojie, do you dare to ept my challenge?¡±
¡°Challenge?¡± Yin Shaojie smirked. How childish was this kid?
Feng Tianqi folded his arms, looking at him arrogantly as he said, ¡°Let¡¯s have apetition. How about that? If you win, then fine! I¡¯ll do whatever you ask. But if you lose, you¡¯ll do as I ask.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Yin Shaojie agreed. It was time to humble this annoying kid.
¡°What do you want topete with? Cars? Motorcycles? Or¡¡± Feng Tianqi asked, seeming very confident.
Yin Shaojie chuckled, ¡°I¡¯m very busy now. I don¡¯t have the time to go up the mountain to race with you.¡±

Going to Mt. Akima and back would take up at least three to four hours.
He looked around and his gaze fell upon the outdoor basketball court not far away and he remembered the basketball from earlier.
¡°Pick something you¡¯re good at. Basketball? Do you y basketball?¡±
Feng Tianqi nodded, ¡°Basketball? Okay. Basketball it is!¡±
¡°Then I¡¯ll see you at the basketball court at twelve o¡¯clock!¡± With that said, Yin Shaojie took Mu Xiaoxiao and left.
After being pulled for a while, Mu Xiaoxiao finallyughed till she bent down at her waist. ¡°Jie, you¡¯re too cunning. You¡¯re so good at basketball, yet you¡¯re stillpeting against him. Isn¡¯t that bullying?¡±
Yin Shaojie squinted at her and said unhappily, ¡°What? Are you upset that I¡¯m bullying him?¡±
He didn¡¯t mind ying. There weren¡¯t many things that he didn¡¯t know how to y. But since Feng Tianqi dared to make a bet with him, of course he had to win!
Mu Xiaoxiao hugged his arm and shook her head, saying, ¡°I don¡¯t feel upset. It¡¯s just¡ it doesn¡¯t seem very generous of you. It seems like you are bullying a child.¡±
Yin Shaojie reached out and knocked on her little head. Then he told her the truth, ¡°Dummy! Do you think he agreed impulsively? If he isn¡¯t good, he would never have agreed to it. He wants to beat me, remember?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao batted her eyes. ¡°So what you mean is that¡ your suggestion just happened to be what he wanted? What if he¡¯s better than you?¡±
¡°What do you think?¡± Yin Shaojie gritted his teeth and pinched her little nose.
How could he lose?
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed mischievously, ¡°I¡¯m suddenly looking forward to your game!¡±
She could enjoy the show again. How awesome!
Indeed, it was more fun to be back in China.
Before the two reached the Student Union building, Yin Shaojie¡¯s phone rang several times. Knowing that he was going to the meeting, Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and said, ¡°I¡¯m not going with you. The meeting is boring. Go there yourself. I¡¯ll go back to the ssroom for a while to get something.¡±
¡°No, you have to stay with me or else I won¡¯t feel at ease.¡± After all the things that happened previously, he was afraid that she might get into trouble if he wasn¡¯t watching her.
¡°I¡¯m not a kid anymore. What¡¯s there to worry about? Plus, I¡¯m in school. I won¡¯t wander about. You can¡¯t take me with you every day, can you?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him.
Although she liked to stay with him, they couldn¡¯t always be together, could they?
Yin Shaojie thought for a moment. Then, he reached apromise. ¡°Okay. Go to the ssroom. Once school ends,e to the Student Union building and find me, okay?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao saluted and said with a bright smile, ¡°Yes, sir!¡±
Thus, the two separated.
Mu Xiaoxiao skipped cheerfully as she went to Year One¡¯s building.
Along the hallway, she breathed in the air. The path had light purple orchids nted along both sides. They were very beautiful and smelled really good, putting her in a good mood.
Although she hadn¡¯t been in school for very long, she had missed it.
At the door to Year One¡¯s ss S.
The teacher was teaching when Mu Xiaoxiao entered and said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m here, teacher!¡±
The whole ss turned to look at her.
As everyone watched her, Mu Xiaoxiao went to her seat.
Eh?
Why was there someone sitting at her seat¡
Chapter 1243 - The Mysterious Deskmate (13)
Chapter 1243: The Mysterious Deskmate (13)
Mu Xiaoxiao paused. Her eyes widened as she stared at the person sitting in the seat beside hers.
How could it be¡
¡°Feng Tianqi! Why are you here?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or cry upon seeing Feng Tianqi.
Why was he sitting there?
Wait!
He said earlier that he had transferred to this school. Did that mean¡ he was enrolled in ss S?
Mu Xiaoxiao held her forehead.
The ssmates started buzzing in discussion. It didn¡¯t seem like they were in the middle of a lesson at all. Moreover, their voices were getting louder and louder.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao¡ I¡¯m very d that you¡¯re back in ss, but it is lesson time now. Please return to your seat and sit down, alright? You can catch up with ssmates after the lesson ends.¡± The teacher said gently.
Mu Xiaoxiao was embarrassed and apologized to the teacher. She quickly went back and sat down at her seat.
Feng Tianqi sat in the inner seat. Supporting his chin on his hand, he turned to the side and looked at her. He was beaming and his eyes were filled with amusement.
Mu Xiaoxiao only spared him a quick nce.
Feng Tianqi kept looking at her, waiting for her to respond. But she didn¡¯t respond, so he was quite dissatisfied.
He stretched out his finger and poked her.
¡°Hello,¡± he said softly.
Mu Xiaoxiao scooted away.
Feng Tianqi frowned and poked her again.
¡°Hey!¡±
This time, he said it much louder.
Mu Xiaoxiao finally turned her head gave him a warning re. She lowered her voice and said, ¡°We¡¯re having a lesson. Keep it down. Stop disturbing others.¡±
She didn¡¯t want to disturb other students in ss.
However, what she waspletely oblivious about was that she had sessfully attracted the attention of the whole ss from the first moment she had entered the ssroom.
No one was watching the podium or listening to the lecture.
Fortunately, the teacher had a good temper so she only gave a mirthless smile without saying much about it. Even if no one was listening, the teacher continued to lecture.
Feng Tianqi leaned over, smiling as he said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Are you surprised to see me?¡±
¡°No,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said deliberately with an emotionless expression.
¡°No? How is that possible!¡± Feng Tianqi didn¡¯t believe her. He was waiting for her surprised expression. How could she say that she wasn¡¯t surprised?
Mu Xiaoxiao shushed him. ¡°We can talk after ss?¡±
¡°Aren¡¯t you curious as to why I¡¯m here, sitting with you? Don¡¯t you have a little curiosity?¡± Feng Tianqi was unyielding. Obviously, he wasn¡¯t interested in the lesson.
Mu Xiaoxiao gave him a fake smile and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m not curious.¡±
¡°You¡¯re lying,¡± Feng Tianqi snorted.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled. ¡°I only lie to pigs.¡±
Feng Tianqi quickly realized what she meant. She was implying that he was a pig.
¡°You¡¯re a pig! Hmph! You are just as nasty on the inside like Yin Shaojie,¡± Feng Tianqi said to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t ashamed and was instead proud of it, ¡°Thanks for thepliment.¡±
Feng Tianqi looked at her for a while and suddenly took out something from the drawer.
¡°Although you don¡¯t seem very weing of me, this is my gift for you.¡±
Chapter 1244 - The Mysterious Deskmate (14)
Chapter 1244: The Mysterious Deskmate (14)
A gift?
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at the chocte ced in the middle of the table.
¡°Why did you give me chocte?¡± She was puzzled. It wasn¡¯t Valentine¡¯s Day, was it?
Besides, even if it were a Valentine¡¯s Day¡¯s gift, girls were supposed to give chocte, right? Was there something wrong with him?
Feng Tianqi smiled cheerfully. ¡°Do you like it? Girls like chocte, right? This is the world¡¯s best chocte!¡±
¡°The best chocte in the world¡¯?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao had never heard of it.
¡°Yeah, it says on the Inte that this is the world¡¯s best chocte. I haven¡¯t tried it yet. I don¡¯t like sweet stuff. But you are a girl and girls like sweet things, right?¡± Feng Tianqi wore a confident expression.
Seeing his smile, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t bear to burst his bubble.
Didn¡¯t he know that they say that on the Inte to trick people?
Calling it ¡®the best in the world¡¯ was just a form of marketing.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t bother to correct him. ¡°I don¡¯t really like choctes.¡±
She said it with a guilty conscience. She actually loved to eat choctes!
Although she didn¡¯t know what the world¡¯s best chocte tasted like, she was very interested in trying Feng Tianqi¡¯s gift to see if it was really as good as he said it was.
Even if it wasn¡¯t the best in the world, it shouldn¡¯t taste too bad.
However¡ giving choctes was quite suggestive of something romantic. Thus, she couldn¡¯t ept his gift and had no choice but to refuse him.
Luckily, Feng Tianqi didn¡¯t seem angry. He was just a little surprised. ¡°So you don¡¯t like choctes? We have one thing inmon then!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Did that count?
Feng Tianqi looked down again and took something else out from the drawer. Bang! He ced it loudly in front of her, smiling as he said, ¡°Here! You should like this, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned, afraid that it would attract other people¡¯s attention.
Almost everyone in the ss was watching the two of them to see what they were doing.
What Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t have imagined was that there was someone secretly taking videos of them, streaming it live on Moments and the inte.
Staring at the box of strawberries in front of her, Mu Xiaoxiao was a little stupefied.
¡°How do you know that I like to eat strawberries?¡±
Feng Tianqi smiled very proudly. ¡°So you like it this time? I guessed!¡±
¡°You¡¯re lying.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pouted as she pointed at his nose.
Feng Tianqi touched his nose and said, ¡°Alright, I heard it from somebody else. I asked my ssmates and they said that they saw someone buy a strawberry cake for you previously. I originally wanted to buy you a strawberry cake, but the guy who bought it for me was so dumb that he bought strawberries instead! But luckily, you like strawberries.¡±
They saw someone buy her a strawberry cake?
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. Her eyes unconsciously turned to the desk in front of hers.
Was it that time when Yu Zhe bought her the cake?
Feng Tianqi waved his hand in front of her. ¡°Hey, what are you thinking about? Why are you daydreaming?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pped his hand away.
Chapter 1245 - The Mysterious Deskmate (15)
Chapter 1245: The Mysterious Deskmate (15)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
She nced at him and said half-heartedly, ¡°Stop waving about. You¡¯re making me dizzy, okay? Yes, I like strawberries. Thanks.¡±
Since they were strawberries, she just epted them.
She was afraid that if she didn¡¯t ept them, Feng Tianqi might continue to give her gifts.
However¡
Even though she had epted them, Feng Tianqi still took out another item.
¡°This too. It¡¯s for you as well.¡± Feng Tianqi took out another snack from the drawer. It so happened to be something she liked to eat as well.
Mu Xiaoxiao was quiet for a moment, a drop of cold sweat hanging on her forehead, ¡°¡ Are there anymore?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Feng Tianqi nodded honestly and took out the things in the drawer one after another.
One by one, he ced them on the table. They were all tasty snacks that girls liked to eat.
Mu Xiaoxiao propped up her chin, stunned.
Heavens! Those not in the know might think they were having a pic!
Feng Tianqi said, ¡°So? Which one do you like the most?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to answer him.
At that moment, she noticed the teacher looking at her with a helpless, mirthless smile.
¡°Teacher, I¡¯m sorry¡¡± she said to herself.
¡°Hurry up and put them away!¡± she said to him angrily as she swept everything on the table into her arms and then stuffed them into the drawer.
Fortunately, her drawer was rtively empty before.
¡°Why did you put them away?¡± Feng Tianqi asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao gave a fake smile, poked his shoulder and then she pointed to where the teacher was at.
Feng Tianqi took a look and realized what she meant. ¡°Oh yeah. We¡¯re in the middle of a ss.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled mirthlessly. ¡®You know we¡¯re in the middle of a ss?¡¯ she thought sarcastically.
She could imagine that in his previous school, he definitely would have driven the teacher mad.
¡°Okay, okay. We¡¯ll pay attention. Let¡¯s put this off till after ss,¡± she said in a lowered voice.
¡°Oka¡¡± Feng Tianqi was going to agree when his phone ringtone started ying.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked to the direction of where the sound wasing from and stared at him.
Feng Tianqi didn¡¯t seem to be in a hurry. He slowly took out the cell phone and looked at the caller ID. He picked up the call, smiling.
¡°Hey, why do you care where I am? I¡¯m not gonna tell you! Bookworm, do you miss me? If you miss me, then just say so. Every time you call me, you talk all this nonsense. Can you just get to the point?¡±
Hearing the conversation, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ears immediately pricked up. There was juicy gossip to be had.
Bookworm? Who was that? Was it a boy or a girl? It should be a girl, right?
However, Feng Tianqi¡¯s tone became unpleasant. ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk to you. Goodbye!¡±
He hung up the call.
¡°Who was that?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but ask.
¡°It¡¯s Bookworm!¡± Feng Tianqi said irritatedly, his dashing face still giving a peeved expression.
¡°Who is Bookworm? Is she a girl who likes you?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao continued to ask.
Feng Tianqi smirked, nodding as he said proudly. ¡°Yes. She likes me, a lot. But, I don¡¯t like her. I hate bookworms! Irritating!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed. ¡°Are you sure you don¡¯t like her?¡±
¡°Of course! Why would I like Bookworm? Don¡¯t joke about it! I would rather like a pig than Bookworm!¡± Feng Tianqi snorted with a look of contempt.

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Seeing his expression, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t think that he wasn¡¯t lying.
However, from his conversation, he seemed to care about this girl.
Could it be that he liked Bookworm but he didn¡¯t realize it himself and thought that he hated her instead?
Mu Xiaoxiao could only specte.
Her hand on her cheek, she said deliberately, ¡°Don¡¯t be too sure about that or you¡¯ll be pping yourself in the face. It¡¯ll hurt!¡±
Feng Tianqi said to her very resolutely, ¡°I promise you that won¡¯t happen!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed, ¡°Who knows what will happen in the future. Better not be overconfident.¡±
¡°Of course I won¡¯t be. What does it mean to like someone? It means that girl is someone special to me. I don¡¯t think that she¡¯s special. On the contrary, you¡¯re more special. If I¡¯m going to like someone, it would be you. Why would I like someone so ordinary like Bookworm?¡± Feng Tianqi said in a clear and logical manner.
Mu Xiaoxiao propped up her chin as she listened to him say that he liked her. However, there wasn¡¯t a hint of passion in his eyes as he spoke.
Maybe he did like her. But this type of liking was probably¡ the kind that existed between friends? Or perhaps admiration?
Mu Xiaoxiao was suddenly curious about how he would look staring at Bookworm.
She shook her head and said, ¡°You don¡¯t even understand what it really means to like someone. Just because you think that someone is special doesn¡¯t mean that you like that person. Who told you that?¡±
¡°My brother!¡± Feng Tianqi replied to her. Apparently he believed in his brother¡¯s reasoning with one hundred percent conviction.
Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or cry, ¡°Feng Shengyang? He didn¡¯t make this up to trick you, did he?¡±
She thought that was more likely!
Given how ck-bellied Feng Shengyang could be, he seemed to be the kind that would tease his younger brother.
¡°Of course not! Why would he trick me?¡± Feng Tianqi didn¡¯t believe it.
Just then, his cell phone rang again.
Feng Tianqi looked down at the iing call, snorted inwardly, and declined the call.
Mu Xiaoxiao poked her head over. ¡°Is it that girl?¡±
¡°I told you that she likes me a lot but I don¡¯t like her. Why should I pick up her call?¡± He looked like he wanted to prove to her that he really didn¡¯t like Bookworm.
Mu Xiaoxiao said nothing.
She suddenly sympathized with Bookworm. Why would she like this childish guy?
But she was also very curious whether this girl called Bookworm really liked Feng Tianqi.
Mu Xiaoxiao snorted, ¡°Careful not to drive her away angrily. If she doesn¡¯t call you back, you¡¯re going to start panicking.¡±
¡°Why would I start panicking? You¡¯re joking! I don¡¯t even like her. Who cares if she calls me or not? I wished she wouldn¡¯t call me! But you wouldn¡¯t know. She likes me too much and can¡¯t help not calling me. Just wait. She¡¯ll call again.¡± Feng Tianqi tilted up his chin, looking arrogant.
Mu Xiaoxiao could hardly stand his narcissism.
The girl wouldn¡¯t call him again, would she?
A minute passed.
Sure enough, Feng Tianqi¡¯s cell phone rang again. He looked at Mu Xiaoxiao smugly, showing her the cell phone, and then he dismissed the call.
¡°Aren¡¯t you going too far? She may have something urgent to talk about.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao frowned.

¡°What urgent matter could she¡?¡± Before he finished his sentence, Feng Tianqi received a new text message. It popped up on the screen so he saw it even if he didn¡¯t want to.
After a quick look at the message, Feng Tianqi paused and suddenly smacked the table, ¡°Damn!¡±
¡°What happened?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him curiously.
Someone in front of them coughed.
Mu Xiaoxiao instinctively looked in the direction where it came from and saw the teacher smiling awkwardly.
She quickly nudged Feng Tianqi.
However, Feng Tianqi ignored her. He stood up and walked to the front of the room. He apologized to the teacher as he rushed out.
Mu Xiaoxiao then noticed that there was something off with his expression. Did something happen?
She deliberated, wondering whether she should chase after him to check it out.
Ding dong¡ª¡ª
The ss bell rang.
The whole ss cheered while the teacher sighed and said helplessly, ¡°Okay, ss dismissed.¡±
The whole ss ran out.
Mu Xiaoxiao was slow but she followed behind them.
¡
In the Student Union meeting room.
¡°In addition to the problems from earlier, there are other¡¡± Before Yin Shaojie could finish speaking, his cell phone vibrated.
His cell phone was on the table, so he took a quick nce at the new text message.
Immediately, his brows furrowed.
¡°Something came up! I¡¯m off!¡± he said forcefully before heading out.
The other members of the Student Union were dumbfounded.
Something came up?
What happened?
Some of them responded quickly and followed after him while the others slowly followed behind one after another.
When the Student Union members came walking out, they saw some students making amotion outside.
Although ss had just ended, the situation didn¡¯t seem right.
¡°Vroom vroom vroom¡ª¡ª¡± Noise from an engine was heard.
Screaming could be heard from the crowd.
The Student Union members looked at each other.
Something really happened?
Yin Shaojie quickened his steps, rushing to the crowd.
Finally, he reached the scene of the incident.
A group of motorcycles encircled several girls in the hallway. The drivers whistled like hooligans,ughing out loud. It was obvious that this was a harassment.
¡°Brother Quan! This is indeed a school for the elites. The girls here are so pretty!¡±
¡°Haha, I like this one. Her shy reaction is too cute.¡±
¡°I still think that the one wearing a short skirt is better. Look at those fair, soft legs!¡±
Just then, a motorcycle stopped and the other motorcycles stopped too.
Apparently, the leader was the guy called Brother Quan. He stared at the girls with short skirts in a vulgar manner.
Brother Quan leaned himself on the front of his motorcycle, staring at the girl as he said. ¡°Hey, you¡¯re hot. I like you. Do you want to be my girl?¡±
¡°You¡¯re crazy!¡± The girl wasn¡¯t timid. She spat at him, her eyes filled with contempt.
With his looks, he wanted to pursue her? In his dreams!
¡°Bitch! You don¡¯t know how to appreciate, do you? It¡¯s your blessing that Brother Quan wants you!¡± One of theckeys immediately retorted her.
Sure enough, it garnered a huge response.
All theckeys said in unison, ¡°Yeah!¡±

Though the girl seemed spunky earlier, she seemed a little frightened from the change in circumstances.
¡°D-don¡¯t even think about it¡ This is Shangde. We don¡¯t wee hooligans like you. Scram! I¡¯ll call for security!¡±
The onlooking students felt sympathy for her, but they didn¡¯t dare step up to support her.
Brother Quan smirked contemptuously. The engine roared and the motorcycle rushed forward, scaring the girl.
The girl¡¯s legs turned to jelly. If she hadn¡¯t willed herself to remain standing, she would have fallen to the floor.
Brother Quan pointed to himself, ¡°Hooligan? Are you talking about me?¡±
The girl didn¡¯t dare to answer him as she trembled.
¡°Was she talking about me?¡± This time, Brother Quan turned back to ask his men.
Someone shouted out, ¡°Yes! Brother Quan, she was talking about you!¡±
¡°Good, very good.¡± Brother Quan pped his hands, smiling sinisterly. He got off the motorcycle and strolled over to her.
Watching himing up to her, the girl was frightened. She shrunk back and trembled.
¡°Hooligan? Since you said that I¡¯m a hooligan. If I don¡¯t do something, I¡¯ll be letting you down, won¡¯t I?¡±
With that said, he suddenly reached out to grab the girl.
Frightened, the girl quickly stepped back. This time, she stumbled and fell to the ground.
¡°D-don¡¯te over¡ Don¡¯t touch me! Help, help!¡± This time, the girl lost her spunk as she called out to the others for help.
Some of them wanted to save her but didn¡¯t dare to intervene.
Some of them simply looked away and ignored her.
In the end, no one dared to step forward.
Brother Quan squatted down in front of the girl. He smiled dangerously.
This time he reached out and grabbed the girl¡¯s cor.
Then he pulled her forcefully toward him.
¡°Ah! Let me go! Hooligan!¡± The girl shouted, trying to break free, but he held her even more tightly instead.
The girl¡¯s cor was nearly torn open and the alluring skin underneath her shirt started to show.
Brother Quan stared at her chest and smiled at her. ¡°You were the one who said that I¡¯m a hooligan. I¡¯ll be a hooligan, then.¡±
With that said, he reached for her chest.
¡°Garbage Quan! Are you here for me?¡± A bright voice interrupted them.
The onlookers were watching the girl and no one thought that someone woulde to save the damsel in distress. Everyone was shocked.
The first reaction was ¡®Someone is going to be a hero!¡¯
The second reaction was them understanding the implication of what the person had just said. Did that mean that the two knew other?
Hearing that, Brother Quan looked around at the crowd and finally his eyes locked onto someone.
¡°Feng Tianqi! You thought I wouldn¡¯t be able to find you if you transferred school?¡±
With that said, Brother Quan spat contemptuously.
The crowd immediately moved away and opened a path for Feng Tianqi.
¡°Is this a weing formation?¡± Feng Tianqi was still in the mood to make a joke.
Brother Quan pointed at him and said angrily, ¡°Feng Tianqi, you¡¯ll die today!¡±
¡°Humph, don¡¯t be too sure about that!¡± Feng Tianqi snorted disapprovingly.
As he looked over, he didn¡¯t even need to count the number of men with him.

This time, Despicable Quan brought ten of hisckeys over. Upon Feng Tianqi¡¯s arrival, the gangsters took out their weapons. Some carried truncheons while others brandished long knives.
The hooligans revved their engines while facing Feng Tianqi, making terrifying loud noises.
Brother Quan raised a hand and was about tomand ¡°Go!¡±.
Suddenly, a tyrannical voice rang out. ¡°Excuse me, even though Shangde extends its hospitality to its guests, we don¡¯t like gangsters. Please scram!¡±
Brother Quan¡¯s blood boiled.
¡°Who dares to speak like this!¡±
He turned his head to see who was so unafraid of death.
Yin Shaojie had no intention of hiding at all. At over 1.8 meters in height he was the center of attention.
Brother Quan thought he looked familiar. ¡°You are?¡±
Contempt tugged at the corners of Yin Shaojie¡¯s mouth. ¡°You¡¯re in my territory, yet you don¡¯t know who I am?¡±
Ackey by Brother Quan¡¯s side tapped him and leaned over. He whispered, ¡°He¡¯s Yin Shaojie, the president of Shangde¡¯s Student Union, and he¡¯s also part of the Big Four¡ª¡±
Before theckey could finish his words, Brother Quan pushed him away.
¡°Aren¡¯t you just a the president of a student union? I thought you were someone! Pah! I hate student union presidents they most. You always love putting up an act and the sight of you makes me want to squash you! You two, deal with him.¡±
Two thugs moved to the head of the group and revved their engines loudly as they drove towards Yin Shaojie.
Because one of them was holding a horribly long knife, the rest of the Student Union members moved back in fear.
Sunlight reflected off the sharp de. It looked ruthless and bloodthirsty.
Yin Shaojie stared at the knife.
¡°Scared now? Do you want to be chopped into eightrge pieces or shall I torture you slowly, slice by slice?¡± The person carrying the knife was brimming with arrogance and even guffawed self-importantly.
¡°Go!¡± Brother Quanmanded.
The two groups of people went for their respective targets.
It was then that Mu Xiaoxiao arrived at the crowd and she cupped her mouth in shock.
Her ssmates looked at her and thought that she was worried about Yin Shaojie. Some people even discussed what Mu Xiaoxiao, as Yin Shaojie¡¯s girlfriend, should do.
¡°She has to rush up to help him, of course, to prove her love for him. Even if she can¡¯t be of any help, she¡¯ll be able to show off to Young Master Jie.¡±
¡°That¡¯s too fake, no? Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s so petite. If she rushes over and gets knocked over by a motorcycle, she¡¯ll die!¡±
¡°How can you think like that? Mu Xiaoxiao is only an ordinary girl too, so she must be afraid. Even though she¡¯s worried for Young Master Jie, she can¡¯t just rush over, right? There¡¯s nothing for her to do but to stand aside.¡±
¡°Right. Have you not seen how red Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes are from worrying about Young Master Jie? I think she¡¯s going to cry.¡±
Just then, everyone saw Mu Xiaoxiao wipe her tears.
¡°See, she¡¯s crying. She must be worried about Young Master Jie,¡± someone said in a low voice.
¡°These people are so fierce and scary. It feels like the odds are against Young Master Jie¡¯s favor¡¡±
¡°Shh, don¡¯t say anymore!¡±
Beside them, Mu Xiaoxiao was rubbing her eyes with the back of her hands. She grumbled, ¡°Why does sand have to get in my eyes right now?¡±
Upon hearing the sounds of dueling she blinked her eyes vigorously, trying to alleviate the difort.
Just as she opened her eyes, she saw Yin Shaojie flipping the long knife away from the motorcycle.

The person mmed onto the ground and shrieked in pain.
In the next second, Yin Shaojie caught the long knife in mid-air. His gaze was piercing as he twisted the knife and pressed it against the person¡¯s neck.
Instantly, the person inhaled in fear. His hands and legs were shaking and he stammered as he spoke in broken sentences, trying to get Yin Shaojie to let him go.
Yin Shaojieughed coldly and made a sudden forward slip with the knife.
¡°AH!¡± The thug screamed.
¡°AH!¡± The crowd screamed.
Everyone thought that they were going to see the gory scene of a bleeding neck. The person under the knife was so petrified that he went pale and limp.
Yin Shaojie smirked mockingly and teased, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯re not dead yet.¡±
He pped the t of the knife against the person¡¯s head, making a ttering noise.
The crowd around themughed.
Feng Tianqi had also taken care of a hoodlum. He wasn¡¯t as lenient and had simply hauled the person from the motorcycle and beat him until he was blue.
He happened to see what Yin Shaojie did too.
He said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°Yin Shaojie! How about we change the terms of our contest?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked into his eyes and seemed to understand him. He nodded. ¡°Sure.¡±
Feng Tianqi grabbed the truncheon that had fallen onto the ground, twirled it, and raised it above his head dashingly.
¡°Let¡¯s see who can take on more people. Now!¡±
The two of themmenced their attack.
This time, Yin Shaojie struck fast and hard, defeating the gangsters who rushed at him.
They should have been at a disadvantage.
Their opponents not only had weapons, but they were also on motorcycles. It was dangerous for them to face the gangsters, who rushed at them head on.
¡°My goodness, he¡¯s so handsome! Young Master Jie¡¯s expression is so dreamy!¡±
¡°I know, right! I can¡¯t take it anymore; I¡¯m about to faint from his gorgeousness.¡±
¡°That hunk is handsome too! Is he from our school? Why haven¡¯t I seen him before?¡±
¡°Oh yeah, how could I not have noticed such a handsome boy if he was in our school? Is he from another school? Ah, ah, he looks so cute when he smiles. It¡¯s so bright! He¡¯s my type!¡±
¡°What happens if I like them both? It¡¯s so hard to choose!¡±
Theckeys were beaten up terribly but no one in the crowd paid them any attention, for all of their eyes were on the two stunning boys.
¡°Six.. Seven!¡±
Feng Tianqi counted as he threw the defeated hoodlums aside as though he were disposing of trash.
Just as he was getting into fighting, there was no one in front of him anymore.
On the other side, Yin Shaojie had finished thest person as well.
Feng Tianqi asked, ¡°How many did you get?¡±
¡°Seven,¡± Yin Shaojie answered.
Feng Tianqi pouted. ¡°I got seven too. It¡¯s a tie, so how are we going to decide the winner?¡±
Yin Shaojie chuckled lightly. He gestured at Brother Quan, who was trying to hide. ¡°Isn¡¯t there one more there?¡±
Feng Tianqi cracked his knuckles and said, hell-bent on winning, ¡°He¡¯s mine!¡±
¡°Dream on!¡± Yin Shaojie ribbed back.
Feng Tianqi saw Mu Xiaoxiao standing at the side. Suddenly, he smiled and said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°Let¡¯s make a bet then. The winner will get a kiss from the princess!¡±
While Yin Shaojie was distracted for a split second, Fen Tianqi dashed towards Brother Shaojie.

Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes narrowed, and with a thump of his foot, he went forward.
¡°Ah¡ D-don¡¯te over!¡± Brother Quan immediately panicked. He wanted to turn and flee, but he stumbled and fell to the ground, falling t on his face.
Feng Tianqi was a tad quicker. He grabbed Brother Quan and put him in a chokehold.
He smiled proudly at Yin Shaojie, ¡°I¡¯m going to win!¡±
Yin Shaojie slowed down and heughed in a deliberate manner, ¡°Are you sure you want to win?¡±
¡°Why not?¡± Feng Tianqi smiled confidently as if he were going to win.
In addition to winning the bet, he had also won a kiss from the princess.
Feng Tianqi turned to Mu Xiaoxiao, gave her the triumphant smile, and motioned for her toe over.
Seeing that the scene was now under control, she walked to Yin Shaojie.
¡°Feng Tianqi, what¡¯s going on here? I heard that these people came for you?¡± she asked.
And was the text message he received before rted to this matter?
Did he rush down after receiving the news that these people came to the school looking to take revenge on him?
Feng Tianqi smirked, casting a nce at Brother Quan as he said mockingly, ¡°He can¡¯t beat me and had to resort to ying dirty. I rarely go to school, so he couldn¡¯t catch me at my previous school. Now that I¡¯m here, he followed me here like a pesky bug. Ain¡¯t that irritating? He¡¯s like a fly.¡±
As he said that, he hit Brother Quan¡¯s head.
Brother Quan had never been so humiliated in front of hisckeys before that his face puffed up.
¡°Feng Tianqi! I dare you to let me go!¡±
Feng Tianqi snorted. ¡°Why should I let you go? You have fallen into my hands, and you still dare to talk so tough? Are you an idiot, huh?¡±
As Feng Tianqi continued to hit him, Brother Quan cried out in pain. Hisckeys were stupefied and didn¡¯t dare to watch any further.
Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or cry. Brother Quan, was acting so arrogantly just now but now he was a loser.
Feng Tianqi was more concerned about the bet, so his turned to look at Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie seemed unaffected, as though he weren¡¯t at all concerned, his inky dark eyes filled with amusement.
Feng Tianqi¡¯s eyes narrowed, thinking that his reaction was quite odd.
Did he not care about winning?
¡°I win now,¡± he said to Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie chuckled and said, ¡°I told you. Are you sure you really want to win? Or let me put it another way¡ Are you are sure that you want the princess¡¯s kiss?¡±
Feng Tianqi looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and asked him, ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t I want it?¡±
Yin Shaojie showed a surprised expression, his lips pursed as he nodded and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect your taste to be so wild.¡±
What was the meaning of that?
Feng Tianqi didn¡¯t quite understand what he meant.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s smile was sinister. He snapped his fingers, pointed behind him, and said, ¡°Let me introduce you. This is the assistant head of the nning department of the Student Union. He is called¡ Gong Zhu1!¡±
From behind came an obese boy. He almost looked like an oval and was at least 180 jin if not 200 jin.
Chapter 1252 - The Mysterious Deskmate (22)
Chapter 1252: The Mysterious Deskmate (22)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Feng Tianqi was stunned. He watched the obese boy with his head lowered bashfully as the Student Union members broke out inughter.
His mouth twitched. Pointing at Yin Shaojie indignantly, he said, ¡°Are you trying to fool me!¡±
¡°He is really called Gong Zhu. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can check his student ID card.¡± Yin Shaojie spread open his hands, looking innocent. He then motioned to the fat boy to show his student ID card.
Feng Tianqi didn¡¯t even want to see it. Still, he couldn¡¯t help but take a look.
He had good eyesight and could clearly see on the student ID card the words ¡®Gong Zhu¡¯.
His forehead began to twitch.
¡°You know I was referring to Xiaoxiao when I said ¡®princess¡¯, not him! Are you trying to cheat?¡± He was indignant.
He didn¡¯t want a kiss from a boy!
What he wanted was a kiss from Mu Xiaoxiao!
Yin Shaojieughed, ¡°When did you say you were referring to Xiaoxiao? You¡¯re the one who is trying to cheat, okay?¡±
Feng Tianqi was about to blow up, and as if with a mind of its own, his arm choked Brother Quan even more tightly that Brother Quan almost passed out.
¡°L-let me go first! Let me go¡¡±
He was about to be strangled to death.
Feng Tianqi shot him a look and flung him away irritatedly.
He didn¡¯t need to win anymore!
Yin Shaojie put his arm around Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s shoulders, he smiled annoyingly and said in an affectionate manner, ¡°Besides, I¡¯d never risk Xiaoxiao in a bet. She¡¯s my wife.?¡±
¡°The bet isn¡¯t counted then! Alright?¡± Feng Tianqi said as he wiped his mouth.
¡°Well¡¡± Yin Shaojie said unhurriedly, letting go of Mu Xiaoxiao casually. Then he nced at Brother Quan from the corner of his eyes as though he were scheming, and he said, ¡°Okay then! ¡±
As he finished saying that, his long figure had already began dashing toward Brother Quan.
Feng Tianqi reacted quickly as well, turning around.
Frightened, Brother Quan fled humiliatingly.
Feng Tianqi kicked him and he rolled and ended up in front of hisckeys.
¡°Quick¡ª¡ªGive it to me!¡± he shouted angrily at theckey in front.
Startled, theckey was about to respond when Brother Quan searched him. He took something out of theckey¡¯s pocket.
Looking at the bomb in his hand, Brother Quan smiled delightedly. He turned and stood up to look at Yin Shaojie and Feng Tianqi.
¡°Come on! Come here!¡± he threatened.
Feng Tianqi cursed and shouted, ¡°F*ck! Are you crazy?¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you? Feng Tianqi, today is the day that you die! This thing is specially prepared for you!¡± Brother Quan clenched his teeth hatefully, wanting to blow the whole ce into smithereens.
Frightened, the onlookers retreated some distance away but their nosiness kept them from leaving.
Mu Xiaoxiao ran to Yin Shaojie worriedly. She hugged his arm tightly and muttered into his ear. ¡°What kind of revenge is this! He actually bought such a dangerous thing here.¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned seriously. He kept her behind him and said in a lowered voice, ¡°What are you doing here? Go and hide!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao grabbed his clothes and shook her head, saying resolutely, ¡°I don¡¯t want to. I want to be with you.¡±
¡°It¡¯s a bomb!¡± Yin Shaojie turned and red at her through the corner of his eyes.

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°I know! I¡¯m not afraid!¡± With him there, she wouldn¡¯t be afraid of anything.
¡°You¡¯ll die!¡± Yin Shaojie said emphatically.
This wasn¡¯t a joke and the extent of the bomb¡¯s impact was unclear. What if he suddenly went crazy and detonated the bomb?
He had to get her away as soon as possible.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked into his eyes and said resolutely, ¡°If we have to die, we¡¯ll die together!¡±
Was he expecting her to just leave him here?
Impossible!
Yin Shaojie looked into her eyes and didn¡¯t know what to do with her, but he was still very worried.
He turned back and said to the members of the Student Union, ¡°Evacuate the other students!¡±
¡°Yes, President!¡±
However, Brother Quan shouted, ¡°Nobody move!¡±
Looking at the bomb that he was holding up, the onlookers didn¡¯t dare to move, fearing that they would lose their lives.
Feng Tianqi snorted and pointed at Brother Quan contemptuously. ¡°I don¡¯t believe you! Your bomb must be fake!¡±
Brother Quan was infuriated. ¡°Fake? Well okay, would you like to give it a try to see if it¡¯s a fake?¡±
With that said, Brother Quan moved to press the button on the bomb.
The crowd cried out for mercy, ¡°No! No! Please don¡¯t! We don¡¯t doubt that it¡¯s real!¡±
¡°Right right right, it must be real!¡±
¡°Hey man, we all believe that it¡¯s real, so please, don¡¯t detonate it, okay?¡±
Even Brother Quan¡¯sckeys were panicking. One of theckeys climbed up, ran to Brother Quan, and said, ¡°Brother Quan, we are still here! Don¡¯t press it! We don¡¯t want to die!¡±
Seeing that, the onlookers were even more convinced that the bomb was real.
Mu Xiaoxiao, who had initially been skeptical, was now eighty percent convinced.
She leaned over to Yin Shaojie¡¯s ear and asked him, ¡°Is this bomb¡ bigger than the one fromst time?¡±
She was referring to the bombs that Su Lin had used at the hospital.
She still had trauma from thest bombing. This bomb was a lot bigger. Would it be even more powerful?
¡°Yeah.¡± Yin Shaojie nodded, his eyes locked on the bomb as he worked his wits to find a way to solve this problem.
Not only were his and Xiaoxiao¡¯s lives threatened, the lives of the other students at the scene were as well. As the president of the Student Union, he had to protect them.
Seeing Feng Tianqi¡¯s expression changing, Brother Quan couldn¡¯t help but grow delighted. ¡°You believe it¡¯s real now? Are you scared? Hahaha!¡±
Feng Tianqi hated being provoked. He snorted, ¡°Scared? It¡¯s just a bomb! Press it if you dare! No way a coward like you will do it!¡±
¡°You think I won¡¯t press it? Alright, we¡¯ll die together then!¡±
¡°Go ahead. Press it! If you don¡¯t press it, you¡¯re a coward!¡±
¡°Who¡¯s a coward?¡±
¡°I say you are so you are! You¡¯re a coward! You won¡¯t press it so you¡¯re a coward! The whole world knows that you are a coward!¡±
Hearing Feng Tianqi say that, the onlookers broke out in a cold sweat. They red at him as though they were going to eat him up.
Dude, can you not provoke him?
What if he really set off the bomb?
There are at least a hundred lives here!
Theckeys knew their boss well. They were all panicking, fearing that he would be swayed by his emotions.
Chapter 1254 - The Mysterious Deskmate (24)

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
One of theckeys shouted anxiously, ¡°Brother Quan, don¡¯t listen to him! Don¡¯t press it! He¡¯s deliberately provoking you!¡±
They didn¡¯t wanted to die!
However, their boss couldn¡¯t take anything in at all. His eyes were red as he red at Feng Tianqi, and he emphasized every word, saying, ¡°I¡¯m not a coward!¡±
With that said, his thumb moved and pressed the detonation button.
Beep¡ª¡ª-
The bomb¡¯s red light lit up, and on the little screen a five seconds countdown appeared.
¡°Ah¡ª¡ª¡± The onlookers screamed in horror. His threats didn¡¯t matter anymore. Now was the time to run!
Thus, the scene descended into chaos. As everyone ran, they didn¡¯t even care if they bumped into other people. Some fell onto the ground and were trampled.
¡°Vroom vroom vroom¡ª¡ª¡± The sound of a revving engine was heard amidst the screams.
The engine sound wasn¡¯t the same as before.
¡°Move away!¡± shouted a chilly voice.
Then, a ck shadow rushed in like ck lightning.
A heavy motorcycle dashed in front of Brother Quan and snatched the bomb from his hand.
Beep¡ª¡ª-
There were still three seconds on the timer!
With the sudden appearance of the heavy motorcycle, the others froze unwittingly, forgetting to escape.
Yin Shaojie pulled Mu Xiaoxiao and she was going to run, but upon seeing the person riding the heavy motorcycle, she stopped as well.
Yin Shaojie was going to rush her but he also noticed the person¡¯s sudden appearance.
This person was¡
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes.
The person was wearing a helmet, but there was something familiar about him.
Beep¡ª¡ª-
There were two seconds left!
As everyone watched, the rider of the heavy motorcycle took the bomb, sped through the crowd, and immediately dashed about 20 meters out.
Beep¡ª¡ª-
One more second left!
The rider of the motorcycle didn¡¯t even brake because there was no time for that! He jumped down from the bike and dashed toward the centralke.
He stopped, his hands raised, and with almost every ounce of power he could muster, he threw the bomb far away into the center of theke.
Everyone was dumbfounded seeing him without a single movement wasted.
Beep¡ª¡ª-
With only a ¡®beep¡¯ the bomb exploded in theke and the water was sshed several stories high.
The onlookers were jolted.
Goodness gracious¡
The power of this bomb¡
The nosy onlookers secretly felt relieved, feeling the post-cmity fear.
Luckily, the neer saved them. Otherwise, the bomb would have exploded and killed many people!
The members of the Student Union were especially d, not only for their own lives.
If the explosion really resulted in casualties, the damage to Shangde High¡¯s reputation would have been disastrous!
In short, this person saved Shangde High!
Before most people could snap out of their daze, the man had already gotten on his heavy motorcycle and rode off before saying something to one of the girls.
After a while, the people on the scene started to regain their senses.
¡°Eh? Where is he?¡±
¡°Seems like he¡¯s gone.¡±
¡°Just who is he? How did he suddenly appear like that? God! That was such a cool scene!¡±
¡°He seemed to have said something to a girl. Quickly, go and ask her!¡±
Thus, everyone ran over and surrounded the girl, asking curiously, ¡°What did that man say to you just now?¡±
Startled, the girl replied, ¡°He asked me¡ which way the principal¡¯s office was¡¡±

Hearing that, amotion started in the crowd.
¡°Could he be a transfer student?¡±
¡°That¡¯d be great! From his figure, he must hot! And he has such skills. My god. I¡¯m already smitten with him. I hope he really is a transfer student. If not, I¡¯ll cry!¡±
¡°That guy is really too cool. Did you notice that even after having saved so many of us, he didn¡¯t even seem to be bothered by it and just left like it was nothing?¡±
¡°What a pity. He was wearing a helmet and we didn¡¯t get to see what he looked like. He is my savior. I wish I could give myself to him!¡±
When everyone¡¯s attention was on this ¡®savior¡¯, a particr bad guy was trying to flee.
Mu Xiaoxiao was the first to notice. Smirking, she picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at him.
¡°Ow!¡± Right on target!
Mu Xiaoxiao pped her hands, her arms akimbo, looking spunky as she red at Brother Quan. ¡°You dare to run? You almost killed us. You¡¯ll be going to jail!¡±
¡°Yeah, I¡¯ll run. Whatcha gonna do?¡± Brother Quan sat on his motorcycle and throttled the engine. Smiling arrogantly at Mu Xiaoxiao, he was ready to flee the scene.
¡°Trying to run?¡± Feng Tianqi snorted. With long strides, he dashed and gave Brother Quan a flying kick, sending the thug leader flying off the motorcycle and onto the ground.
Brother Quan¡¯s butt was about to break into two pieces as he groaned on the ground. Hisckeys wanted to help him, but they didn¡¯t dare to. After Feng Tianqi red at them, they got on their motorcycles in fright and fled.
¡°You traitors, how can you abandon me¡ª¡ª¡± Brother Quan was startled as he watched the motorcycles leave.
His hand trembled.
Suddenly, a ck shadow came over him.
Startled, he felt a terrible chill go up his spine. He broke out in a cold sweat as he panicked.
¡°Using a bomb on my turf?¡± A demon¡¯s voice came from behind him.
Brother Quan had the feeling as though the grim reaper were staring at him, his heart beating in spasms.
¡°Ah¡ª¡ª¡± A scream. Someone stepped on his hand.
¡°Was it this hand? Tell me. Would it be better if we just break it lest it has the chance to do something dangerous like this again in the future?¡± The voice was cold and frightening like the wind in winter, slicing at his heart.
Brother Quan turned back in horror and looked at Yin Shaojie.
Just then, for some reason, he remembered what hisckey said earlier.
¡®This person is the president of Student Union of Shangde High. His name is Yin Shaojie.¡¯
Yin Shaojie?
Could he havee from¡ the Yin family, one of the Big Four Families?!
Brother Quan¡¯s heart trembled. He finally realized what hisckey had meant. In his moment of haughtiness, he had forgotten the significance of the Big Four Families of City A.
¡°Y-Young Master Yin¡ Look, about the bomb¡ It¡¯s just a misunderstanding¡¡±
¡°Misunderstanding?¡± Yin Shaojie smiled at him, but his smile was like Satan¡¯s.
If it weren¡¯t for the rider of the heavy motorcycle appearing and dealing with the bomb, many people would have been injured.
Chapter 1256 - The Mysterious Deskmate (16)
Chapter 1256: The Mysterious Deskmate (16)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
He called that a misunderstanding?
Did this guy think that it¡¯d be so easy to fool Yin Shaojie?
Brother Quan crawled several steps back to avoid his re. He swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty, ¡°The bomb¡ is already blown up. Even if the policemene, there is no evidence, right? Why don¡¯t we¡¡±
Yin Shaojie snorted, ¡°Physical evidence? There were so many witnesses here and there are cameras everywhere in Shangde. We definitely captured everything. Do you think we still need physical evidence?¡±
Brother Quan¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°C-cameras?¡±
F*ck. This is a school for elites? Do they have to be so rich!
¡°You should be d. I don¡¯t want to let my wife see a bloody scene, so I¡¯m only calling the police.¡± A dark shadow came over Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes as he said in a deep voice that made one shudder.
Brother Quan¡¯s heart stopped beating for a second.
In that moment, his scalp was numb.
¡
The police car came, and they dealt with the scene.
Looking disappointed, Feng Tianqi asked Yin Shaojie, ¡°So who won?¡±
¡°It¡¯s a draw,¡± Yin Shaojie said tepidly as he looked at him. He went to Mu Xiaoxiao, took her hand and they headed for the parking lot.
Feng Tianqi was someone who refused to admit defeat, so he said, ¡°When are we going topete again?¡±
¡°We¡¯ll talk about it next time.¡± Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t in the mood for that now.
Feng Tianqi chased after him and asked, ¡°Where are you going? Going to eat? Let¡¯s go together.¡±
Yin Shaojie stood still and red at him. ¡°We¡¯re going home! Do you want to follow too?¡±
¡°Going home to eat?¡± Feng Tianqi asked.
¡°It¡¯s none of your business whether we¡¯re eating or not. Even if we¡¯re going to make love at home, it¡¯s none of your business!¡± Yin Shaojie said unpleasantly. If this punk hadn¡¯t brought his enemies to school, the bomb incident would never have urred.
Hearing that, Feng Tianqi was startled for a moment. He turned to look at Mu Xiaoxiao as if he believed thetter part of what he said.
¡°I¡ I still have something to say to Xiaoxiao¡¡±
They¡¯re going home to make love?
Wasn¡¯t that too¡
With the look that he was giving her, Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or to cry. She nudged Yin Shaojie with her elbow and said to Feng Tianqi, ¡°What do you want to tell me?¡±
¡°Well, I suddenly thought¡¡± Feng Tianqi was going to say it out loud, but he paused, nced at Yin Shaojie, and didn¡¯t continue finishing his sentence.
He leaned closer to Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ear and whispered, ¡°It¡¯s not convenient to talk with him here. I¡¯ll tell you next time.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know what he was up to. Feng Tianqi had a unique way of behaving so she couldn¡¯t guess what he was thinking about.
But at least she knew that he didn¡¯t have any malicious intentions.
¡°Okay, we¡¯ll talk next time.¡± She nodded.
Feng Tianqi reluctantly waved her goodbye before leaving.
Yin Shaojie tugged at Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand again and they continued walking.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head back several times and walked very slowly.
Yin Shaojie shot a look at her, pinching her chin tyrannically. ¡°You can¡¯t bear to leave him? Do you want to go have lunch with him? If so, just tell me. It¡¯s not like I won¡¯t let you go.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled because she wasn¡¯t even looking at Feng Tianqi. She also knew Yin Shaojie was just being jealous.

¡°Are we really going home? Didn¡¯t we juste to school? Have you settled that business of yours?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao grabbed his hand and asked.
She knew that he wanted to take her home because this ce wasn¡¯t safe.
But she didn¡¯t want to go home so soon.
Yin Shaojie came to a stop, reminded of the meeting that had been adjourned due to the bombing incident. Although there were no casualties, they couldn¡¯t just let the matter slide like that. They had to perform a follow-up on the incident, which required his leadership.
¡°Xiaoxiao¡ª¡ª¡± A clear, crisp voice drew nearer.
Hearing the voice, Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and turned her head to see who wasing, ¡°Qiqing!¡±
She let go of Yin Shaojie¡¯s hand and went up to Han Qiqing for a big hug.
¡°Xiaoxiao, you came backst night. Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡± Han Qiqing grumbled as she looked at her and nudged her.
Mu Xiaoxiao exined, ¡°I was too tired. I fell asleep immediately upon getting home¡¡±
Han Qiqing examined her face and touched it sympathetically. ¡°You seem to have gotten thinner. I saw your WeChat message that the issue regarding Xiaomeng and Ye Sijue was resolved. Great job.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled. ¡°I¡¯m not the one who did the hard work. It was Ye Sijue. It was tough on him.¡±
¡°If he wants to bring back the beauty for himself, a little hardship is to be expected! If not, guys would think it¡¯s so easy to get a wife, right?¡± Han Qiqing said as she shot Yin Shaojie a look deliberately.
Yin Shaojie spread open his hand and said, ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not that easy to get a wife.¡±
He had gone through some hardship too.
However, it was precisely because of this that they cherished the rtionship.
Han Qiqing took Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go eat. We¡¯ll chat as we eat. Song Shijun has already booked a room. I¡¯ll tell him order the food first, so that we can start eating immediately when we get there.¡±
¡°Okay, I¡¯m hungry now too!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and said. She wasn¡¯t really hungry, but she said it so that she wouldn¡¯t have to go home.
She hadn¡¯t forgotten Yin Shaojie as she turned back and waved to him. ¡°Come on. Let¡¯s go eat together. You still have to go back to the Student Union to settle the matters.¡±
Yin Shaojie followed them in resignation.
¡
In the afternoon.
The sun shone brightly on the field, warming the winter air.
A hand waved in front of Mu Xiaoxiao.
Han Qiqing¡¯s voice rang in her ear. ¡°Xiaoxiao? Why were you in a daze?¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao snapped out of her daze, batting her eyes stupidly as she looked at her.
Han Qiqing stared at her eyes as though she were examining her as she said, ¡°You¡¯ve been acting like this ever since lunch. What are you thinking about?¡±
¡°Uh¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated.
She didn¡¯t know what was wrong with her. She couldn¡¯t erase the image of the rider on the heavy motorcycle from her mind.
The rider felt familiar as though she had seen him somewhere before.
But she couldn¡¯t remember where.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted gloomily, hitting her head with her little fist, and she said, ¡°Qiqing, I think my memory has be worse recently. Do you think it could be because I hurt my head previously?¡±
Chapter 1258 - The Mysterious Deskmate (28)
Chapter 1258: The Mysterious Deskmate (28)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Han Qiqing looked at her worriedly. ¡°Ah? How did that happen? Wait, how do you know that your memory is getting worse? Is there any basis for that?¡±
¡°Sigh, I don¡¯t know how to exin it¡¡± The more Mu Xiaoxiao ruminated, the more likely it seemed. After all, she did hurt her head, the effect could potentially be significant. What if it really affected her intellect?
She was so smart. She didn¡¯t be stupid!
Han Qiqing thought about how tofort her. ¡°I don¡¯t think¡ there are any cases like that, right? Oh yeah, could those things that you don¡¯t remember have happened when you lost your memory? If you can¡¯t remember it, it¡¯s only normal.¡±
Being reminded of that, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly realized. ¡°Oh yeah! Could I have saw him when I lost my memory?¡±
¡°See who?¡± Han Qiqing asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, leaned over to her ear, and said, ¡°There was a mysterious person who suddenly showed up today and saved all of us, right? That person¡ seemed familiar. I think I¡¯ve seen him before, but I just can¡¯t remember it.¡±
Han Qiqing heard them talking about the incident when they were eating, and the news had already spread throughout the school. Not only did many people posted about it on their Moments, but even there was even enthusiastic discussions in school forum as people guessed who this mysterious person could be?
However, because things happened so suddenly, no one took any photos.
But some of them were quick to think of the school¡¯s cameras. The school camera¡¯s should have captured footage of that mysterious person. Some people requested for the Student Union to look into video with the mysterious person, but the Student Union gave no reply.
Han Qiqing said assuredly to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Then you must have seen that person when you lost your memory! Take your time to remember, and it maye back to you.¡±
Actually, she was also very curious about who this mysterious person was.
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded.
Han Qiqing said, ¡°But I read on the forum that the mysterious man went to the principal¡¯s office after the indictment. He may be a transfer student, so maybe there is still chance to meet him.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was lost in her thoughts again.
Han Qiqing looked at her, her gaze drifting as she hesitated to say something.
Then she finally plucked up the courage, nudged her, and stammered as she said, ¡°Uh¡ Xiaoxiao, when you went to America¡ Did¡ you see Lu Yichen? How¡ How is he now?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao regained her senses and saw that Han Qiqing had a look of anticipation.
The image of Xin Zimo following Lu Yichen¡¯s flitted across her mind.
Should she tell Qiqing about Xin Zimo?
¡°He¡ is alright, I guess,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated and said very vaguely.
¡°You guess? What does that mean?¡± Han Qiqing wasn¡¯t so easily fooled. Apparently, she intended to find out the details regarding Lu Yichen.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed mirthlessly, and she said frankly, ¡°Actually¡ I didn¡¯t visit him. Well, I can¡¯t really say that as well¡ I went to the hospital, but I didn¡¯t meet him.¡±
¡°Why?¡± Han Qiqing didn¡¯t understand what she meant.
¡°Well¡ When we arrived in America, we nned to visit Lu Yichen first, but didn¡¯t something happen with Ye Sijue? So we rushed over, and then¡¡±
After Mu Xiaoxiao exined the part regarding Ye Sijue, she made her decision.
After a deep breath, she grabbed Han Qiqing¡¯s shoulders with both hands, and said very seriously, ¡°Qiqing, there is something I want to tell you. Promise me, you¡ must keep calm, okay?¡±

Han Qiqing looked into her eyes and nodded. ¡°Yeah, okay.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°In the hospital, I saw¡ a girl next to Lu Yichen.¡±
Before she could finish speaking, Han Qiqing interrupted her and said with a smile, ¡°I know. There was a girl beside him, right?¡±
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao was startled as she looked at her and asked curiously, ¡°How did you know that?¡±
Han Qiqing looked away, and she said in a mild voice, ¡°I saw it on Lu Yichen¡¯s Moments. He posted a photo of him with that girl, but¡ I suspect that it wasn¡¯t him who posted it. It was the girl who took his phone and posted it because it was deleted shortly after.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao hadn¡¯t been paying attention to WeChat recently, so she didn¡¯t know such a thing had happened.
She thought for a moment and agreed with Han Qiqing¡¯s spection. ¡°It doesn¡¯t seem like something Lu Yichen would do. I also think that the girl took his cell phone secretly to take a photo. Lu Yichen must have deleted it.¡±
Xin Zimo seemed just like the kind of person who would dare to do anything.
However¡ Lu Yichen wouldn¡¯t doing things this way, would he?
¡°Have you met this girl?¡± Han Qiqing asked her.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°Yeah, I met her and we talked a little. She seemed¡ to like Lu Yichen a lot. They are old friends, but from the way they get along, Lu Yichen doesn¡¯t seem to feel the same way about her.¡±
¡°Of course Lu Yichen wouldn¡¯t like her.¡± Han Qiqing smiled and looked at her.
Because he likes you.
¡°You¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was going to say something when an unknown object came flying over. She saw it in her peripheral vision and instinctively turned to look at it.
A ball¡
Again?!
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened in shock. In the next second, arge hand blocked the ball and a bright smile appeared before her.
¡°Are you finished talking? Is it my turn now?¡± Feng Tianqi said, looking at Mu Xiaoxiao and spinning the basketball.
Seeing how good he was with it, Mu Xiaoxiao wondered if he were the one who threw the ball.
Oh yeah, he was ying basketball with those boys.
Han Qiqing poked Mu Xiaoxiao, looking at Feng Tianqi curiously, and she asked her, ¡°Who is this handsome guy? You¡¯re attracting the opposite sex again. Aren¡¯t you scared that Yin Shaojie may get jealous?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or cry, ¡°Attracting the opposite sex? You should tell that to Yin Shaojie. He¡¯s even better at it than me, okay?¡±
Feng Tianqi squatted down, reaching his hand out to Han Qiqing. ¡°I¡¯m Feng Tianqi. I¡¯m Xiaoxiao¡¯s current deskmate. What about you? Are you a good friend of Xiaoxiao?¡±
Han Qiqing liked cheerful people, especially the type of guy who had bright smiles. It was hard to hate him with that smile of his.
She shook his hand.
¡°My name is Han Qiqing.¡±
Feng Tianqi had a sudden realizing expression, and he said, ¡°Oh, I know you. You¡¯re the daughter of one of the Big Four Families, right? I¡¯ve been looking forward to meeting you for a long time!¡±
¡°Looking forward to meeting me? You tter me!¡± Han Qiqing was amused by his expression.
Mu Xiaoxiao stood up, pat the dust off her butt, and said, ¡°You two seem to be hitting it off. I¡¯ll let you two chat.¡±
¡°I want to talk to you.¡± Feng Tianqi stood up and grabbed her hand.

Han Qiqing also stood up and looked at the two suggestively, ¡°Whoa, Feng Tianqi, you got guts. You actually dare to pester Xiaoxiao? Let me tell you. Her man, Yin Shaojie, is the king of jealousy. Careful not to let him see you like this or you¡¯ll get it!¡±
¡°I¡¯m not afraid of him.¡± Feng Tianqi snorted.
Mu Xiaoxiao brushed off Feng Tianqi¡¯s hand and asked him, ¡°What do you want to talk to me about? Just say it.¡±
Feng Tianqi nced at Han Qiqing, his expression clearly telling her ¡®You are a third wheel. Can you please leave us?¡¯
Han Qiqing smiled at him and pretended not to understand.
Feng Tianqi frowned. It didn¡¯t seem appropriate for him to ask her to leave, so he grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand again and said, ¡°Let¡¯s talk over there.¡±
Seeing as he really seemed to have something to tell her, she went along with him.
They went to a ce where they could be alone.
Feng Tianqi then said to her, ¡°Today is my birthday.¡±
¡°Ah? Are you for real?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked, startled.
Feng Tianqi grinned, nodded, and said. ¡°Yeah! Why would I lie to you? So I want you to give me something as a birthday present.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed, ¡°You¡¯re real audacious, aren¡¯t you? Who the heck asks for a birthday present like this?¡±
¡°Do you want to give me a birthday present or not?¡± Feng Tianqi asked.
Since he asked, it didn¡¯t seem appropriate for Mu Xiaoxiao to refuse him.
So she asked, ¡°Tell me then. What birthday present do you want?¡±
¡°I want¡¡± Feng Tianqi stared at her delicate face. His gaze shifted down and stopped at her soft lips, and he said in a very cheerful tone, ¡°A kiss from you!¡±
¡°Huh?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao thought she misheard him.
The tone in which he said that was as if he were saying ¡®the weather is really good today¡¯. There was not a hint of romance in it.
¡°What did you say?¡± she asked.
Feng Tianqi pointed to her lips and emphasized every word. ¡°A kiss from you!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
This time, she was sure that she hadn¡¯t misheard him.
She folded her arms at her chest and stared at him. ¡°Today is definitely not your birthday, right? Why do you want a kiss?¡±
¡°Because I suddenly want a kiss.¡± Feng Tianqi said casually.
¡°Huh? You just want to see what a kiss feels like?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s head tilted to the side as she looked at him uprehendingly.
Feng Tianqi nodded, ¡°Yes.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
¡°Then you can look for other girls to try it with. You can easily find a girl. Someone will definitely be willing. Why do you have toe to me?¡±
Looking annoyed, Feng Tianqi shook his head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to find a girl I don¡¯t know, so I came to you. I heard that a girl¡¯s mouth is sweet, is that true?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or cry. ¡°Who told you that? Your brother?¡±
¡°Will you do it or not? It¡¯s only a kiss.¡± Feng Tianqi apparently thought that this was a very simple matter.
Mu Xiaoxiao said to him seriously, ¡°Unless a donkey kicks my head, I¡¯ll never agree to that! Forget about it!¡±
¡°Why? It¡¯s just a simple kiss¡¡± He still wanted to convince her.

Mu Xiaoxiao raised her hand wordlessly, interrupting him.
She rolled her eyes at him and gave him an example. ¡°What if that boy from earlier, Gong Zhu, asked you to kiss him? Would you be willing to?¡±
Feng Tianqi looked disgusted, unwillingness clearly written on his handsome face.
¡°You said that it¡¯s only a kiss and you won¡¯t lose anything from it. Why not from him?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao used his earlier words against him.
¡°That¡¯s different! He¡¯s a guy. Why should I kiss a guy? That¡¯s gross!¡± Feng Tianqi sounded repulsed by the idea.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°That¡¯s not the point. The point is, you don¡¯t like him, so of course you¡¯re not willing to kiss him. If you like him, it won¡¯t matter if he¡¯s a guy or a girl.¡±
Feng Tianqi looked at her. He understood what she was saying now. ¡°So you¡¯re saying that you¡¯re not letting me kiss you because you don¡¯t like me? Is that what you mean?¡±
¡°You could say that. Even though I don¡¯t hate you, I have no romantic feelings towards you. If I don¡¯t like you that way, I will never let you kiss me.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao used this opportunity to lecture him.
Feng Tianqi thought for a while. With sincerity in his eyes, he asked, ¡°What must I do to make you like me, then? As in, romantically.¡±
She said exasperatedly, ¡°I already have a boyfriend! I like him very much. I really love him! My feelings have no intention of changing, okay? Understood?¡±
¡°What¡¯s so fun about only liking one person for your entire life?¡± Feng Tianqi expressed his displeasure.
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him. ¡°Why do you care! I have nothing to say to an idiot like you who does even know what romantic feelings are. You¡¯ll understand when you really like a person someday.¡±
Feng Tianqi pursed his lips and shook his head. ¡°I think that¡¯s boring and uninteresting.¡±
He didn¡¯t think that liking someone was anything fun!
Racing, though, was something fun.
¡°Why do you want to kiss me, then?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao really couldn¡¯t understand what this guy was thinking. Was he an alien?¡±
Feng Tianqi rolled his eyes at her. ¡°Didn¡¯t I say that already? I want to know how it feels like to be kissed.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao inhaled deeply, urging herself to not argue with him.
Suddenly, she had an idea.
She chuckled darkly and patted his shoulder, saying, ¡°I think¡ there¡¯s someone who¡¯s really suited to be your guinea pig!¡±
¡°Who?¡± Feng Tianqi looked interested.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed and said, ¡°The girl who likes you. That bookworm!¡±
¡°Her? No thanks!¡± Feng Tianqi rejected her immediately.
¡°Think about it. She likes you a lot, so she must be willing to do anything for you, right? If you kiss her, she will definitely like you even more. Wouldn¡¯t that be great?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao urged.
Upon hearing this, Feng Tianqi paused for a while, as though he were really considering what she had said.
Mu Xiaoxiao giggled. ¡°Think about it seriously. I think she¡¯s the best choice.¡±
With that, she left.
Feng Tianqi was now alone, deep in thought.

The next two sses were English lessons that Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t feel like attending. English lessons were simply a time for her to spend daydreaming.
Ater physical education, she parted with Han Qiqing and decided to head to the Student Union building to find Yin Shaojie.
As she walked past the hallway lined with orchids, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly heard a cat meowing softly.
Her ears twitched and she instinctively turned to look for the cat.
There were some rustling noises. Then, a little dark figure jumped into the grass nearby.
Mu Xiaoxiao caught a glimpse of it. It looked like a gray cat.
She crept up and slowly parted the grass. The cat hiding inside immediately looked up at her.
Wow! It was a gray Scottish Fold!
So pretty!
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t resist little animals like cats, especially when they were cute like Scottish Folds.
Just looking at its beautiful blue eyes as it stared back was making her heart melt.
¡°Little kitty¡ Did you run away from home? Bad kitty. Come on out, I¡¯ll give you a hug,¡± she said it in a cutesy, child-like manner.
The cor on the cat¡¯s neck meant that it belonged to someone.
It was dangerous for house cats to be out like this.
House cats would have difficulty feeding itself during the winter.
¡°Meow~¡± the cat meowed at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t stand the sound of it. God! How cute! She really wanted to hug it!
She squatted down, waved her hand at it, and negotiated with it in a friendly manner. ¡°Little kitty, can youe out? I¡¯m not a bad person. I¡¯m a good person. Do you want to go home? I¡¯ll help you, okay?¡±
¡°Meow~¡± the cat meowed at her again but it stepped back.
¡°It¡¯s very dangerous for you to be wandering about like this, okay? If you can¡¯t find a warm ce to sleep, you¡¯ll freeze to death. And it¡¯s hard to find something to eat outside. You¡¯ll starve to death.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao lectured it.
However, the cat seemed annoyed by her as it turned and ran away.
¡°Hey! Don¡¯t run away! Little kitty, you really shouldn¡¯t wander around. Let me send you home, alright? If you don¡¯t want to go home, you cane to my house.¡± She quickly chased after it.
The cat was very agile. It raced up a tree.
Mu Xiaoxiao ran under the tree and looked up at it, afraid that she would lose it.
¡°Should I go and buy some fish?¡± she muttered.
She thought for a moment, but she decided that she couldn¡¯t leave.
What if the cat ran somewhere else after she left?
Just then, she heard the cat meowing as though it were asking for help.
Could it not jump down?
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled up her sleeves and prepared to save the cat.
¡°Little kitty, don¡¯t be scared, I¡¯lle to save you. Be good and don¡¯t move.¡± The cat was shaking and Mu Xiaoxiao felt sorry for it.
Fortunately, the tree didn¡¯t look too hard to climb.
Mu Xiaoxiao began to climb up.
¡°I¡¯ming¡¡±
Chapter 1263 - The Mysterious Deskmate (32)
Chapter 1263: The Mysterious Deskmate (32)

She climbed up a few steps and was about to reach the cat, but she could not climb any further.
Her strength was running out as she held on.
Her hand suddenly slipped and she fell down.
¡°Ahhh¡ª¡ª¡±
A shadowy figure appeared out of nowhere, and like a gust of wind, it swept over and caught her.
Frightened, Mu Xiaoxiao stared into the person¡¯s eyes.
They were clear and ck.
She looked at his eyes and his well-defined facial features. He had a cool, handsome face.
Mu Xiaoxiao, who had seen many hot guys before, was quite amazed.
More important than his face was the air about him that gave off a special charm.
Ah¡
¡°You are¡¡±
Was he the mysterious person who came in the morning?
From his ck get-up, and his tall, handsome figure, she could still tell that he was the mysterious guy who had saved everyone in the morning!
Before she could finish speaking, he put her down silently.
¡°Meow~¡± The cat on the tree cried for help again.
She grumbled to the cat on the tree. ¡°Who told you to get up so high! Now you know how scary it is, huh? Bad kitty!¡±
He looked at her and then turned to look at the cat on the tree.
Then he grabbed the tree trunk, and with unbelievable nimbleness, he climbed up the tree in a few steps.
Mu Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.
His skillful movements were too cool!
She almost cried out and was even about to apud him.
The Scottish Fold was very meek toward him for some reason, perhaps because it was afraid. As he brought the cat down, it didn¡¯t struggle and stared at him the whole time with its innocent, blue eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly wondered if the cat was female.
He jumped down and gave the cat to Xiaoxiao.
Then, without a word, he turned and walked away.
¡°Wait!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but stop him.
He didn¡¯t hear it and continued to walk away.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly caught up to him and asked, ¡°Have we met somewhere? You look familiar, but I can¡¯t remember.¡±
He still didn¡¯t say anything, not even looking at her as though she didn¡¯t exist.
Damn!
Must this guy act so cool?
It was the first time that she had bumped into such a snag.
If it was any other person, she would have definitely turned and left. She wouldn¡¯t be bothered!
But after witnessing him saving people and the cat, she was sure that he was definitely not a bad person. If he were a bad person, why would he risk his life to save strangers?
He walked a little further and went under a tree by the side.
Standing under the tree, he leapt up and grabbed a thick branch. Then he swung forward and grabbed his jacket that was hanging on the tree.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly at him. She then realized that he had probably been resting in the tree.
¡°Oh yeah, where is your motorcycle?¡±
A big one like that would be very conspicuous, right? Where did he put it?
He nced at her from the corner of his eyes, put on his jacket, and walked toward a bush.
Mu Xiaoxiao followed behind him.
Oh, so that was where the heavy motorcycle was hidden!
No wonder no one noticed him.

Mu Xiaoxiao thought that given his poprity in Shangde High, if people noticed his heavy motorcycle, it would definitely attract a crowd, making it impossible for him to continue resting in the tree.
However, it was strange.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s head was nted as she looked at him and asked curiously, ¡°Are you really a transfer student? Which ss are you in? Why are you hiding here instead of going to ss?¡±
If he wasn¡¯t a transfer student, then why didn¡¯t he leave after visiting the principal¡¯s office?
He continued to ignore her. He pushed the heavy motorcycle out from the bushes and got onto the motorcycle.
Mu Xiaoxiao held the cat as she watched him.
As he passed by her, the cat in her arms suddenly started moving about, waving its paws at him, looking as though it wanted to go with him.
He turned to the side and looked at the cat in his arms.
¡°Meow~¡± the cat sounded as though it were unwilling to part. It kept leaning over to him as though it wanted to go with him.
¡°Little kitty, quiet down¡¡±
Suddenly, a hand appeared in front of her and pressed on the cat¡¯s little head.
¡°Meow~¡± the cat meowed again softly.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up and saw him petting the cat¡¯s head.
He seemed to smile faintly. His eyes curved slightly as well, as though gentleness came over him.
Mu Xiaoxiao batted her eyes forcibly, wondering if she was seeing things.
He retracted his hand and rode away in his ck, heavy motorcycle.
¡°Meow meow~¡± the cat meowed, watching as he left.
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed, rubbing its head.
¡°Aren¡¯t you lucky? He smiled at you, but he was so cold toward me. Ah! Oh yeah, I forgot to ask him for his name.¡±
He hadn¡¯t said a word to her.
But he treated the little kitty differently.
This was the first time Mu Xiaoxiao encountered such treatment.
¡°Meow!¡± The cat raised its head and red at her. With its fleshy paw, it scraped her as if protesting. The cat turned its head away, trying to get down.
¡°You want to run away again? I won¡¯t let you run away again. Be good!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao hugged it tightly so that it wouldn¡¯t move about. She made an angry expression and even tapped on its side.
Such a fat kitty. It was definitely not a stray cat. It must be a house cat, and a very pampered one at that. If not, it wouldn¡¯t be behaving so arrogantly.
¡°Meow!¡± The cat was angry at her.
¡°You¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was going to lecture it when she heard a child in the distance crying out, ¡°Meatball! Meatball! Where are you? Come out! Meatball!¡±
¡°Meatball?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao held the the cat up and exchanged nces with the cat.
Seemed fitting.
Chapter 1265 - The Mysterious Deskmate (35)
Chapter 1265: The Mysterious Deskmate (35)

She asked, ¡°Could it be that you¡¯re Meatball?¡±
Upon hearing that name, the cat meowed at her as if it were replying to her.
Mu Xiaoxiaughed.
¡°Meatball! You scoundrel! Don¡¯t take my Meatball. Hurry up and give it back to me!¡± A little boy rushed over to her, looking like he wanted to fight as he reached out to push her.
¡°Hey! Be careful, you brat. How can you be so rude?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao quickly dodged to the side.
Seeing that he couldn¡¯t catch her, the little boy pointed at her and said, ¡°Hurry up and give me back Meatball, you devil! Meatball is family. You can¡¯t take it away!
Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or cry. This little boy must have gotten influenced by animated films, huh?
Mu Xiaoxiao held the cat in one hand and pretended to be angry, looking at the little boy as she said, ¡°You say that I¡¯m a devil? Say that again, and I will take Meatball home and cook it! Yeah, I¡¯ll have it braised!¡±
¡°Y-you¡ You¡¯re too evil! How can you¡¡± The little boy was so anxious that his eyes were watery.
Mu Xiaoxiao was only joking with him and she didn¡¯t expect him to be so easily scared.
However, she forgot that children were very naive and would believe whatever she said.
Thus, she quickly added, ¡°I was only joking with you. Meatball is so cute. Why would I eat it? Besides, I¡¯m also a friend of Meatball. I saved her just now. Am I right, huh? Meatball?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook the cat¡¯s little head and smiled at it.
However, Meatball rolled its eyes at her, twisting about in her hand as if wanting to escape from her evil clutches.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little hurt and she handed the cat back to the little boy.
¡°Here you go,¡±she said dejectedly.
The little boy batted his watery eyes as though he couldn¡¯t believe it. Looking at the cat in her hand, he quickly took the cat back into his arms.
¡°Meatball, Meatball¡¡± He stroked the cat¡¯s face.
The cat meowed at him. Using its face to stroke against his, they enjoyed each other¡¯s presence.
¡°Hey,¡± she said to the little boy.
The little boy stepped back as if he were afraid that she would snatch the cat from him. He even held the cat behind him as he stared at her. ¡°W-what?¡±
Her arms akimbo, Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him and lectured him, ¡°Since you love your Meatball this much, then you should look after her well. Don¡¯t let it run away, okay? What if it runs out and can¡¯t find its way back home? It¡¯ll have no choice but to wander around outside. In this weather, it¡¯ll be cold and hungry. She¡¯ll die outside. Who knows, she might even be caught by bad guys to be abused and tortured. Do you want to see that happen?¡±
The little boy shook his head and promised, ¡°I¡ I¡¯ll take good care of Meatball from now on¡¡±
¡°Okay, that¡¯s good. If you take it out for a walk, you should keep a leash on it so that it won¡¯t run around, okay?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, looking at the cat sitting in the little boy¡¯s arms.

She couldn¡¯t help herself and reached out to pat its head.
¡°Meow~¡± Meatball had fast reflexes and moved its head away.
Mu Xiaoxiao was disappointed. She poked its forehead and harrumphed.
Meatball shook its head.
Just then, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s phone rang.
Even though the cat didn¡¯t like her, she still felt reluctant to leave, and wanted to continue ying with it.
The little boy nced at her before snatching up the cat and running away.
Mu Xiaoxiao then took out her phone. After seeing the caller ID, she answered it.
¡°Hello,¡± her voice sounded a little gloomy.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Yin Shaojie had wanted to ask her where she was, but heard something in her voice and changed his question.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t answer, but asked instead, ¡°Are you done with your work?¡±
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Not yet. You¡¯re not in the ssroom, right? Where did you run off to? Didn¡¯t you promise me not to run off? Have you gone out of school again?¡±
¡°How did you know¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao paused before remembering that he had informants in her ss, so he would obviously know if she wasn¡¯t in ss.
¡°I didn¡¯t go out. I¡¯m in school. I just didn¡¯t feel like attending English ss. Originally¡ I wanted to go over to the Student Union building to look for you, but after walking for a bit, I found a lost cat, and it¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was going to ry everything that had happened.
However, Yin Shaojie seemed to be busy, and moved the speaker away to talk to someone before turning back to talk to her again. ¡°Come to the Student Union building. Don¡¯t run off again.¡±
¡°Okay,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao answered. He must be busy with a meeting.
Yin Shaojie hung up.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked down and kicked the grass beneath her feet before strolling over.
At the Student Union building.
She didn¡¯t want to interrupt his meeting and thus sent him a message saying that she was here, before strolling into his office by herself.
Bored, shey on the sofa and started to y with her phone.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Yin Shaojie finally appeared and entered the office.
¡°Did something happen just now?¡± He ced the file in his hands onto the coffee table and squatted before her.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat up and crossed her legs.
She pouted as she said, ¡°When I wasing over to find you, I met a really cute cat. It was a Scottish Fold! Its eyes were blue, just like a gem. It was so pretty! But it had a bad temper, and it looked like it didn¡¯t like me¡ It was so fierce to me but it was different towards¡ boys. I think it¡¯s a female.¡±
Yin Shaojieughed when he heard her description. ¡°It might be. So you¡¯re upset because it refused to y with you?¡±
He knew that she liked little animals, especially cats.
Just then, the boy who had followed Yin Shaojie in said pleasingly, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, if you like Scottish Folds, I know someone whose Scottish Fold is pregnant, and is about to give birth. If you want, I can get her to gift one to you.¡±
¡°It¡¯s alright,¡± said Yin Shaojie.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head as well. ¡°Yeah, I don¡¯t want one, thank you.¡±
The boy scratched the back of his head awkwardly, ¡°Oh, I see. If you want one someday, let me know.¡±
Chapter 1267 - The Mysterious Deskmate (37)
Chapter 1267: The Mysterious Deskmate (37)
¡°No thanks, I don¡¯t want to raise one,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said.
Yin Shaojie reached out to touch her face and looked into her eyes, seeming to know what she was thinking.
He smiled and said, ¡°You have to take care of me, so where would you find the time to raise a cat?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thumbed her nose at him. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you be the one taking care of me instead?¡±
She knew that he was trying to change the subject.
Yin Shaojie reached out to pull her up. Looping an arm around her shoulders, he said, ¡°You said it yourself. Since I¡¯m the one taking care of you, you have to be good and listen to me.¡±
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. ¡°You¡¯re using that phrase again. Can¡¯t you change it? I¡¯m not a pet you¡¯re raising.¡±
Besides, didn¡¯t shee over obediently to the Student Union building just like he told her to? Didn¡¯t that count as being good?
¡°You¡¯re obviously not a pet. You¡¯re my wife.¡± Yin Shaojie smiled. Holding her hand, he walked over to the office desk.
However, Yin Shaojie¡¯s attention was evidently not on him. After getting Mu Xiaoxiao a seat, he helped her arrange her ruffled hair.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up at him and pursed her lips. Tugging at his shirt, she whispered, ¡°That cat from earlier was really, really cute.¡±
Yin Shaojie could tell that she really liked it.
The corners of his mouth tugged upwards in a smirk. ¡°You want to raise one?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t even think and just shook her head. ¡°No.¡±
It wasn¡¯t that she didn¡¯t want to raise one, but she felt that raising a pet needed careful consideration.
Indeed, she really liked little animals, but she knew that she had no patience to take care of pets.
Since she knew what was going to happen, she would rather not raise one from the start.
Yin Shaojie patted her head and smiled. ¡°When we get married and have kids, let¡¯s raise a pet.¡±
He knew that she was reminiscing about the cat she had when she was little.
¡°Um¡ President¡¡± The boy stammered before speaking up. He walked over slowly and stood before the office desk, speaking in a low voice.
Yin Shaojie finally heard him and looked up at him. ¡°What is it?¡±
The boy smiled and said, ¡°Today.. is Qiya¡¯s birthday. She says she¡¯s treating everyone in the Student Union. Everyone wants you to be there if¡ you¡¯re free.¡±
¡°Today¡¯s Qiya¡¯s birthday?¡± Yin Shaojie asked. Qiya was one of the department leaders in the Student Union.
However¡
Yin Shaojie looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and asked her, ¡°Do you want to go?¡±
¡°Do I have to? I¡¯m not familiar with any of the Student Union members. I don¡¯t want to go. You can go yourself.¡± Since it was a Student Union event, she obviously wouldn¡¯t prevent him from going.
The boy seemed to be afraid that Yin Shaojie would reject him, and said hastily, ¡°Why would you not be familiar with us? Mu Xiaoxiao, aren¡¯t we quite familiar with each other? How can you not be when you¡¯ve visited the Student Union building so many times? Join us. The more, the merrier.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao did have an impression of this boy. They had indeed met several times before and he gave her a good impression.
She remembered that Qiqing and Song Shijun were also part of the Student Union, and would probably be attending too.
Thus, she agreed.
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go then.¡±
Yin Shaojie paused for a while, seemingly wanting to say something, but he only looked at her and smiled.
Chapter 1268 - The Mysterious Deskmate (38)
Chapter 1268: The Mysterious Deskmate (38)
Mu Xiaoxiao caught his expression. She asked, ¡°Your expression seems a little weird. Is there something you¡¯re not telling me?¡±
Yin Shaojie waved the boy out.
He then squeezed into the same chair with her.
Mu Xiaoxiao pushed him away and said unhappily, ¡°Why are you sitting down? There¡¯s not enough space for two people in this seat.¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t this enough?¡± After Yin Shaojie sat down, their bodies were literally pressed against each other.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°It¡¯s a real squeeze here, okay?¡±
¡°Squeezing is good.¡± Yin Shaojie almost squeezed her off the seat and reached out to catch her waist.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t argue against him and could only stand up and stare at him wordlessly.
Yin Shaojie beckoned at her and pointed to his thighs. ¡°Another seat here.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t wanna!¡± She harrumphed at him. He was deliberately trying to get her to sit on his thighs, right? She wasn¡¯t going to fall for that.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s short legs did a little hop and sat on the desk.
She looked at him from above. pping the table, she pointed at his nose.
¡°Now¡¯s interrogation time. You smiled so strangely earlier¡ Was the girl called Qiya one of your exes?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked guilty as charged.
¡°Really?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips as she red at him.
Heughed out loud suddenly and held her little hand. ¡°It¡¯s not true! Whatever it was, I wouldn¡¯t have made a move on someone so close to me. The rabbit doesn¡¯t eat the grass by its burrow, right?¡±
¡°Hehe, are you proud of that fact?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao poked his chest with her finger.
Yin Shaojie held her finger and coaxed, ¡°Of course not, I¡¯m doing penance for it! I really regret it. Dear, don¡¯t ever mention this again, please?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t like to talk about this topic. Even though she knew that he didn¡¯t like those girls, she couldn¡¯t help but be ovee with jealousy every time they were mentioned.
¡°Alright, I won¡¯t mention it again. Tell me then, what did you mean by that expression earlier? Do you have a special rtionship with this Qiya?¡±
Yin Shaojie raised his hands and corrected her.
¡°I have no special rtionship with her! I¡¯m the President of the Student Union and she¡¯s the head of the organization department. That¡¯s our rtionship and we don¡¯t have any private dealings¡¡±
¡°However¡¡± Yin Shaojie coughed and looked at her. ¡°She might¡ perhaps¡ probably¡ I guess¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him and continued his sentence for him. ¡°Simply put, she likes you, right?¡±
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Something like that.¡±
¡°Does anyone know?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was thorough in her questioning.
Yin Shaojie frowned and thought about it before answering, ¡°Hm¡ I think it¡¯s considered secret.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and looked at him. She asked, ¡°Rate her as a person. Is she pretty?¡±
¡°Hm, if it¡¯s her looks¡ she¡¯s not pretty.¡± Yin Shaojie shook her head as he yed with her hand and said, ¡°She¡¯s not bad at her work and has greatworking skills, so she¡¯s able to invite the entire Student Union to celebrate her birthday with her.¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to retract her hand. She said in a sour tone, ¡°Hey, it seems like you pay a lot of attention to her!¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled, held her hand tightly, and brought it to his lips to kiss.
¡°She¡¯s my subordinate, and I naturally have to pay attention to her work performance, but I don¡¯t pay much attention to anything else. Can you stop being so jealous?¡±
He was going to stop his teasing to prevent her from bing overwhelmed with jealousy.
Even though he liked to see how much she cared about him, it wasn¡¯t good to be jealous.
Mu Xiaoxiao jumped down from the table and red at her. ¡°Qiqing said I attract all sorts of people, but I think you¡¯re the one who does that instead! Oh yeah, there are so many girls in the Student Union. How many of them have a crush on you?¡±
¡°Hm¡ how would I know that? I¡¯m not a worm in their stomach. Also, I don¡¯t have time to care about who likes me.¡± Yin Shaojie stood up and put an arm around her waist. He then pressed his handsome face against her soft cheek.
He asked, ¡°Do you still want to go then? If you don¡¯t want to, let¡¯s not. I can tell them that I won¡¯t be going.¡±
That was why he asked her if she wanted to go.
¡°Don¡¯t press yourself against me like that, okay? You¡¯re heavy and I¡¯m about to be squashed.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao moved her shoulder, trying to get the sloth off her back.
However, Yin Shaojie pressed himself against her even more forcefully and snuggled into her neck. ¡°Don¡¯t move. Let me hug you. I¡¯m so tired.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao heard the fatigue in his voice and stopped what she was doing.
She turned her head slightly. ¡°Have you been busy with Student Union matters for the entire day?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Yin Shaojie nodded. He was practically enveloping her entire being in his embrace, leaning into her as he closed his eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t say a word. Her heart ached for him and she let him hug her.
After a while, she shifted slightly because he wasn¡¯t moving. In a soft voice, she whispered, ¡°Hey, do you want to go to the sofa to rest, or to the room to lie down for a while?¡±
¡°Are you going to sleep with me?¡± His voice was muffled and low, as though he were about to fall asleep, but it also held a hint of yfulness.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know what to do with him. ¡°Sure, but the bed is too small. If the two of us lie down, you won¡¯t befortable.¡±
¡°How about you lie on me as I lie on the bed?¡± Yin Shaojieughed lightly. He lowered his head and used his lips to nuzzle her neck, as though he was kissing her.
Sheughed and said, ¡°I think we need to buy a bigger bed for the room.¡±
¡°Sure. If the bed is big, it¡¯d befortable to roll around on it.¡± Yin Shaojie continued to kiss her. He started with her ears and pressed soft kisses until he reached her shoulder.
Mu Xiaoxiao pretended that she didn¡¯t understand what he was saying and said amusedly, ¡°The bed¡¯s for you to sleep in and not for rolling around.¡±
¡°I can sleep when I¡¯m alone, but when I¡¯m with you¡ we can roll around and y some games¡¡±

He moved his lips up, teasing her cute little earlobe.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt ticklish and numb. She shrank back and said, ¡°Enough, didn¡¯t you say you were tired? Stop fooling around and go to the room to rest. There¡¯s only a period left before school ends.¡±
¡°I¡¯m resting right now. I think resting like this is more effective.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. ¡°But the way you¡¯re leaning on my neck feels ufortable¡¡±
Her neck would hurt if he continued.
He said, ¡°Okay, we¡¯ll switch positionster.
¡°Knock, knock¡ª¡± There were two knocks on the door.
Before the pair could react, someone pushed the door in.
¡°President, the instructor has been¡¡± A girl walked in and she froze upon seeing the two.
Mu Xiaoxiao blushed a little and she tapped Yin Shaojie.
It was only then that Yin Shaojie looked up towards the girl. ¡°Qiya, is there anything?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the girl.
So this girl was Qiya.
She was very pretty! Why did he say otherwise?
Perhaps owing to today being her birthday, she was wearing some light makeup. Her features were enhanced and shehe looked really pretty.
He Qiya felt a little awkward and looked at them, embarrassed.
She raised the thing she was holding in her hand and said, ¡°President, the instructor sent this.¡±
¡°Okay, just put it on the table,¡± Yin Shaojie said mildly. His attitude was normal and professional.
He Qiya walked over and put the thing on the table. She then nodded at the pair before leaving, even closing the door.
Mu Xiaoxiao was staring at her figure, and only looked at Yin Shaojie after she left.
¡°So that was Qiya? How is she not pretty? You call that not pretty? Yin Shaojie, are you guilty of something? Why did you lie to me?¡±
Yin Shaojie took her in his arms and kissed her on the cheek.
¡°I didn¡¯t lie to you. She doesn¡¯t look pretty to me because to me, there is only one pretty girl in the entire world, and that is¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t stand any more of his sweet nothings.
¡°Alright, alright, stop. I¡¯m about to throw up.¡±
¡°Okay, I¡¯ll change my words then. All the girls in this world are pretty, but there¡¯s only one girl who¡¯s ugly and her name is¡¡±
¡°Yin Shaojie!¡±
¡°No, that¡¯s wrong. She¡¯s called Mu Xiaoxiao.¡±
¡°Do you want to die!¡±
Just then, the door to the office opened again. Song Shijun was about to speak after his entrance, until he saw the position they were in.
¡°Um¡ Should I¡ quietly¡ turn around and leave?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie rolled their eyes at him simultaneously.
¡°You can roll out.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pointed at the door.
¡°No way!¡± Song Shijun said, walking in. He went over to the mini fridge, took out a soda, and started drinking.
¡°Oh yeah, have they told you about Qiya¡¯s birthday meal invitation? Shaojie, you¡¯re probably not going, right?¡±
¡°He is!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was the one who answered.
Song Shijun almost choked on his drink. He looked at her, stunned. ¡°He¡¯s going? Xiaoxiao, are you going?¡±
Chapter 1271 - The Mysterious Deskmate (41)
Chapter 1271: The Mysterious Deskmate (41)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Yeah, I¡¯m going. What¡¯s so shocking about it?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao red at him.
Qiya being able to invite the entire Student Union to her birthday meal meant that she came from a good background. Besides, the students at Shangde High weren¡¯t ordinary people.
Song Shijun walked over, pointed a surreptitious finger at Yin Shaojie and leaned into her ear. ¡°Then do you know¡¡±
¡°I know!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao acknowledged it openly. ¡°Qiya likes him.¡±
She suddenly remembered something and she pulled Song Shijun aside. In a low voice, she asked, ¡°You should know the number of people who like Yin Shaojie in the Student Union, right?¡±
Song Shijun lowered his head, counting internally. He then answered, ¡°There are quite a few¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was not surprised by his answer. She was suddenly struck with curiosity and asked, ¡°What about the number of people who like you?¡±
Song Shijun paused for a while before coughing. ¡°Um¡ it¡¯s pretty big!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled and teased, ¡°You¡¯re lying, right? Are you sure anyone likes you? With Yin Shaojie and Ye Sijue around, your market must been really spoiled, right? Okay, I¡¯ll stop making fun of you. There must be at least one or two girls who like you, right?¡±
Song Shijun took offense at her words. ¡°What do you mean ¡®at least¡¯? Quite a few girls like me, okay!¡±
¡°Okay, okay, okay, there are quite a few who like you. Stop getting so riled up,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said patronizingly.
¡°Since when am I riled up? I¡¯m not riled up!¡± Song Shijun said.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed at his antics.
¡
Lanya Western Restaurant was one of the upscale restaurants near Shangde High.
For her birthday, He Qiya booked the entire restaurant and it was even rumored that she had invited a head chef from a Michelin Star restaurant.
The entire restaurant was decorated for a birthday.
Near the entrance was a table piled with everyone¡¯s gifts.
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know He Qiya personally, presenting her with a gift was basic etiquette.
After the crowd sat down, many boys and girls surrounded He Qiya, talking to her. The atmosphere was friendly and lively.
It was obvious that He Qiya was very popr.
Yin Shaojie leaned over ans whispered into Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ear, ¡°What do you want to eat? I¡¯ll get it for you.¡±
The food at the birthday party was self-service, and if there was something that one felt like eating, they could ask the chef to make it for them on the spot.
¡°Anything is fine. Just get something for me,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, before looking down at her phone, wondering why Qiqing hadn¡¯t arrived.
She asked Song Shijun, ¡°Did you tell Qiqing the venue? Why is she not here yet?¡±
It had been a while since school was let out.
Song Shijun shrugged and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know about her. She might have gone to buy presents. Wait a while longer. Qiqing takes ages to pick out a present and she knows Qiya, so she might be trying to pick out something special.¡±
Just then, a bunch of people walked over, with He Qiya in their midst.
¡°Young Master Jie! What birthday present are you going to give Qiya this time?¡± A well dressed girl smiled as she said to Yin Shaojie.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked over and realized that she wasn¡¯t a member of the Student Union, and was probably one of He Qiya¡¯s friends who had also been invited.
Upon hearing the girl¡¯s words, she looked at Yin Shaojie.
Had he given He Qiya birthday presents before?
Chapter 1272 - The Mysterious Deskmate (42)
Chapter 1272: The Mysterious Deskmate (42)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Had he given He Qiya a birthday presents before?
Yin Shaojie hung his arm around the back of Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s chair and said mildly, ¡°I don¡¯t have any.¡±
Upon hearing this, the girls around He Qiya looked at one another smilingly before looking at He Qiya. ¡°Qiya wll be really upset if you don¡¯t give her anything.¡±
He Qiya frowned slightly. ¡°Can you stop spouting nonsense?¡±
¡°How is this spouting nonsense? Didn¡¯t Young Master Jie give you a limited edition Chanel bagst year? How can he not give anything to you?¡±
The girl took a nce at Mu Xiaoxiao deliberately when she said that. She then acted shocked and covered her mouth, ¡°Oh, oh, I forgot that Young Master Jie has a new girlfriend.¡±
Chanel bag?
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Yin Shaojie.
She wasn¡¯t bothered that Yin Shaojie had given He Qiya presents, but he had never mentioned this before!
Upon hearing this, Yin Shaojie frowned.
Beside them, He Qiya looked a little anxious and didn¡¯t dare look at Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao saw that Yin Shaojie was about to speak and she grabbed his arm suddenly, preventing him from speaking.
She said in a yful tone, ¡°Are you hinting that I¡¯m so petty as to not let him give her a present?¡±
¡°Aiyoh, we all can understand your feelings. However, in any case, Qiya is the head of the organization department, and can be considered one of Young Master Jie¡¯s capable leaders. Giving her a present should be nothing, right?¡±Another girl chimed in. Even though there was a smile on her face, her tone sounded as though she were indignant for her friend.
¡°It¡¯s okay! I¡¯m fine whether I get a present or not. I¡¯m already honored that Young Master Jie is attending my birthday party.¡± He Qiya spoke out, stopping her friends. She looked a little anxious and was trying to pull them away.
¡°Qiya, you¡¯re too kind. It¡¯s because you don¡¯t fight for yourself that things are snatched away¡¡±
He Qiya interrupted her hastily and reprimanded gently, ¡°I said, stop talking! Sorry, Young Master Jie, my friend was drinking, so she¡¯s spouting nonsense. Sorry.¡±
She bowed to Yin Shaojie to apologize.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face was dark, looking as though he were going to fly into a rage at any moment. The girls felt a little fearful and thus allowed themselves to be dragged away by He Qiya.
After the girls left, Mu Xiaoxiao stared at Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie looked into her eyes and said hastily, ¡°Xiaoxiao, listen to me¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, ¡°Alright, exin yourself.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve never given her any bags before. I didn¡¯t even know that happened on herst birthday.¡± Yin Shaojie looked at her, his face serious.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°Actually¡ Even if you did given her a Chanel bag, I don¡¯t care. It¡¯s just like that girl said¡ª she¡¯s one of your capable leaders and giving her a present on her birthday¡¡±
Before she could continue her nonsense, Yin Shaojie interrupted her. Staring into her eyes, he enunciated, ¡°I said, I never gave her a bag! Not a bag, not anything!¡±
¡°Really?¡± she asked.
Yin Shaojie locked his gaze on hers, afraid that she wouldn¡¯t believe him. ¡°Do you want me to swear?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled. ¡°Alright, I was ying with you. I believe you.¡±

Since he told her like that, she had to believe him!
If he had really given her a present, he probably wouldn¡¯t lie.
And even if that had happened, it was something that had happened in the past, and she was not so petty as to bring up things from the past.
¡°You really believe me?¡± Yin Shaojie was practically in her face right now, his serious gaze meeting hers, trying to ascertain her feelings.
¡°Yes. Do you think I¡¯m dumb? I saw how ufortable she looked earlier, okay? If not, why would I stop you from correcting her right there and then earlier?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said. She had noticed something amiss and had thus stopped him.
After all, it was He Qiya¡¯s birthday today, and it would be awkward if the truth were exposed right then.
Actually, Mu Xiaoxiao got a good impression of He Qiya when she saw her in the office earlier. She thought she gave off good vibes.
Yin Shaojie looked at her with a deep gaze.
Mu Xiaoxiao cupped her chin and smiled at him sweetly. ¡°Why are you looking at me like that?¡±
Yin Shaojie reached out to pat her hair. In his maic voice, he said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just feel¡ like you¡¯ve grown up.¡±
He had thought that she would interrogate him, but not only did she not do these things, she had also been considerate towards He Qiya.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. ¡°What do you mean by that? I¡¯ve always been considerate!¡±
Yin Shaojieughed. ¡°Right, you¡¯re right.¡±
¡°But, say, why did she lie and say that you gave her a birthday gift? Or is it some kind of misunderstanding?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao touched a finger to her lip as she cocked her head to the side.
¡°I don¡¯t know and I don¡¯t want to know.¡± It was enough that she believed him.
¡°Whatever. Let¡¯s go after eating. I don¡¯t really like those girls around her.¡±
¡°Yeah.¡±
However, things didn¡¯t go as smoothly as Mu Xiaoxiao had imagined.
The dishes were incredibly delicious and Mu Xiaoxiao, being a foodie, was in a great mood.
She was almost full, and was considering if she wanted to get something else to eat.
Yin Shaojie went to get desserts for her and Song Shijun said that he was going to bring Qiqing over and was not back yet.
Mu Xiaoxiao was drinking water when she heard someone call out from behind, ¡°Young Master Jie¡¯s new girlfriend.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t like to be addressed that way.
Thus, she ignored the person instinctively, pretending she never heard it.
¡°I¡¯m calling you! Do you have any manners?¡± Enraged, the other party walked up and grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s shoulder.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t like it when other people touched her. She looked unhappy as she pped the person¡¯s arm away.
¡°Are you talking to me?¡± She lifted her chin and looked at the girl before her, or rather, the three girls before her.
They were the ones by He Qiya¡¯s side from before.
The girl was looking down at her from a greater height, but Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s aura was more imposing than the girl¡¯s. She didn¡¯t look like she was being bullied.
¡°You¡¡± The girl who was standing in the middle was the same girl who had spoken rudely from earlier. She rearranged her expression and said to Mu Xiaoxiao arrogantly, ¡°Don¡¯t be too pleased with yourself. You¡¯re just Young Master Jie¡¯s temporary girlfriend. Everyone knows how fast Young Master Jie changes girlfriends.¡±

My Xiaoxiao swept a nce across the girls and asked, ¡°You¡¯re not from Shangde, are you?¡±
If they were from Shaojie, they would have known how close she was with Yin Shaojie.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s tone was even.
However, the girls took her words to mean more than what she said.
It was as though they heard her mocking them, and their expressions changed into ones of anger.
¡°Yes, we aren¡¯t from Shangde! So what? Do you think that you¡¯re better than other people just because you¡¯re from Shangde? You just happen to be hanging around Young Master Jie. What gives you the right to be so arrogant?¡±
¡°Since when was I arrogant?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Weren¡¯t they the arrogant ones here?
The girl in the middle sneered at Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°I heard that your results are average and that youe from an average background. How did you get into Shangde?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyebrow twitched slightly and she swept her gaze across them. ¡°How is who I am any of your business? I don¡¯t know you. You have no right to judge me!¡±
Were these people crazy?
She was just minding her own business but they came over to tell her off.
¡°W-We¡¯re only fighting injustice for Qiya! You¡¯re just pretty. How can youpare to Qiya? Boys are so shallow! They only look at appearances. I¡¯d never imagined that Young Master Jie would also be like that.¡±
¡°Right, Young Master Jie felt something for Qiya. If not, why would he gift her a Chanel bag?¡±
¡°How can you have the face toe to Qiya¡¯s birthday party with Young Master Jie? I¡¯ve never seen a girl as shameless as you!¡±
The three girls took turns to voice their opinions, contempt, and disdain evident on their faces.
Mu Xiaoxiao red at them coldly, and said suddenly, ¡°Are you really Qiya¡¯s friends?¡±
Upon hearing this, the three girls froze in ce, before saying angrily, ¡°What are you talking about! Of course we¡¯re Qiya¡¯s good friends!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and scoffed, ¡°If so, it just shows how brainless you are. ording to you, I¡¯m Yin Shaojie¡¯s girlfriend. You dare to say such things to me? Aren¡¯t you afraid that¡ I¡¯ll use his favor to retaliate against He Qiya?¡±
If they were her good friends they would have thought of that, right?
¡°Y-You wouldn¡¯t dare! Even if you do, do you think Young Master Jie will believe what you say and take revenge on Qiya? Qiya has been by his side for more than a year and she¡¯s his capable assistant. Do you think Young Master Jie will listen to you or her? Mind your ce!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right!¡± The other two girls chimed.
Mu Xiaoxiao really admired how blind they were.
If they knew how intimate she was with Yin Shaojie, would they still dare to say such things?
¡°What if I say¡¡± A smirk tugged at the corners of Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s lips
Chapter 1275 - The Mysterious Deskmate (45)
Chapter 1275: The Mysterious Deskmate (45)

Her gaze was as noble as a queen¡¯s as she looked at them and said, ¡°What if I say that Yin Shaojie will believe my words without question?¡±
The three girls looked as though they had heard an unbelievable story. Disdain was written all over their faces and they even spat.
¡°Who do you think you are!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t get angry, butughed instead. She turned her gaze to Yin Shaojie, who was nearby.
He was walking over to her carrying tes of food.
¡°Yin Shaojie,¡± she called out, holding her chin high.
The light from above shone on Yin Shaojie¡¯s body. He looked like a model on a catwalk as he strode over to her with his long legs.
The crowd around them made a path for him.
And he, like a king, carried an aura of being the envy of the world as he walked past the crowd and stood in front of her.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Yin Shaojie asked, sweeping his sharp gaze across the three girls.
They shrank back instinctively.
Mu Xiaoxiao smirked and her smiling eyes seemed to hide a little demon in them.
She said, ¡°The three of them hit me just now.¡±
The three girls panicked and exined hastily, ¡°We didn¡¯t! She¡¯s spouting nonsense. Since when did we hit her! There are so many eyewitnesses!¡±
When Yin Shaojie looked at Xiaoxiao his gaze was friendly, but when he turned to the girls, it was furious. ¡°Who hit her?¡±
The three girls said simultaneously, ¡°Young Master Jie¡ W-We really didn¡¯t!¡±
He wouldn¡¯t really believe Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s side of the story, right?
Mu Xiaoxiao enjoyed their looks of panic and fear.
¡°Oh, I don¡¯t think they did.¡± She smiled innocently and stuck her tongue out at him cheekily.
Yin Shaojie bent over slightly and stroked her messy bangs. He said, ¡°They might not have hit you, but they bullied you, right? What did they say to you earlier?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s lips pursed in unhappiness as she remembered their conversation earlier.
She didn¡¯t pursue the subject, but only hit her thighs. ¡°My legs seem to be a little numb.¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled. Suddenly, he bent over and squatted with one knee on the ground.
He touched her calves with his hands and began to massage them.
¡°Is this better?¡± he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him, stunned. She had only wanted him to hammer them gently for her, not massage her!
¡°Uh¡ my shoulders are aching a little.¡±
It was better to let him stand up and massage her shoulders.
The crowd fell silent and everyone had turned their heads to look right after he knelt down.
However, Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t get up.
He held her calf in hisrge hands and took off her shoe.
¡°Hey, you¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned, and her eyes widened in surprise.
What was he trying to do?
¡°It¡¯s easy to get cramps when your leg is numb. I¡¯ll help you massage it to get the blood flowing so that it won¡¯t cramp easily.¡± He sat up a little, gestured to the desserts he had brought over and said to her. ¡°Eat up, don¡¯t mind me.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
It¡¯s hard not to mind you when you¡¯re in this position!
In front of the entire crowd, he held up her foot and massaged it, not even flinching when he touched the sole of her foot.
The three girls beside them were dumbfounded at this sight.
Goodness gracious¡
The Yin Shaojie they heard about in rumors didn¡¯t behave like this!
Chapter 1276 - The Mysterious Deskmate (46)

That unbridled, bossy yboy they knew Young Master Jie to be¡ How could he be the loving and gentle man right before their eyes?
The Young Master Jie of old was high and mighty. Only girls would serve him, but he wouldn¡¯t do anything for them, let alone something like a massage, kneeling in front of her to massage her feet.
Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t asposed as he was. She didn¡¯t like being seen as a monkey at all.
¡°That¡¯s good enough. My feet aren¡¯t numb anymore. You can stop massaging them.¡± She took his hand off and quickly put on her shoes.
Yin Shaojie smiled as he looked at her. ¡°Do you feel numb anywhere else? I can massage it for you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him. Was he putting on a show for the girls?
Yin Shaojie then got up and gestured to the waiter, who was standing idly nearby. The waiter hurried over to him.
¡°Young Master Jie, is there anything I can do for you?¡±
Yin Shaojie took a hot towel from the waiter, wiped his hand, gave it back, and waved off the waiter.
Throughout the whole process, the ssy air about him made him look like nobility.
Almost all the girls at the scene were enchanted by him.
Yin Shaojie turned to look at the three girls and asked, ¡°What else do you have to say to my Xiaoxiao?¡±
The three girls seemed as though their pressure points had been hit as they stood in a daze. Hearing his question and feeling his cold stare, they quivered and quickly shook their heads.
¡°No, no! We just¡ wanted to make friends with her.¡±
At that moment, even the blind could tell how Yin Shaojie was feeling.
¡°Friends?¡± Yin Shaojie scoffed, his ck pupils seemed to be mocking them, saying, ¡®How can the likes of you have what it takes to be friends with my baby?¡¯
Just then, He Qiya rushed over, her face slightly pale though she had put on fine, light makeup.
¡°I¡¯m sorry! President, they didn¡¯t mean it. It¡¯s my fault for not being a good host. It¡¯s my fault. I¡¯m sorry, President. I¡¯ll show them out.¡±
The three girls had no intention of staying, so they left with He Qiya.
¡°Wait!¡± Yin Shaojie shouted.
The three girls and He Qiya stopped short. His aura was intimidating and they couldn¡¯t disobey hismand.
Yin Shaojie smiled at them. ¡°Did you forget to say something?¡±
The three girls looked dumbfounded.
What was there to say?
Did they forget to say something?
He Qiya was shrewd. And after having been around Yin Shaojie for so long, she knew there was anger hidden behind his smile.
She hurriedly tugged at her friends and whispered to them, ¡°Apologize.¡±
Looking unwilling, the three girls muttered, ¡°Why should we apologize? We didn¡¯t do anything¡¡±
Besides, they just spoke out against Mu Xiaoxiao. If they were to turn and apologize to Mu Xiaoxiao, wouldn¡¯t that be pping themselves in the face?
Chapter 1277 - The Mysterious Deskmate (47)

¡°Come on! Don¡¯t make him angry. You won¡¯t like what happens next.¡± He Qiya was very anxious as she reminded them.
The three girls then came around to it, remembering of the rumors of the Great Master Yin¡¯s bad temper. A chill ran along their backs.
The three girls looked at each other and forced themselves toe out and say to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said very magnanimously, ¡°What¡¯s there to apologize for? It¡¯s no big deal. I¡¯m not bothered. Today is Qiya¡¯s birthday. Let¡¯s not spoil it. Everyone, please continue and enjoy yourselves.¡±
He Qiya politely nodded and took the three friends away.
Mu Xiaoxiao observed her as she left.
Yin Shaojie leaned his handsome face over to her ear and asked, ¡°What are you thinking about?¡±
¡°I¡¯m wondering¡ Was she the one who sent those three girls?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her chin. ¡°I¡¯m quite a good judge of character. At least, Qiya doesn¡¯t seem like that kind of person to me.¡±
¡°You¡¯re a good judge of character? Are you sure? What about that Yu Zhe?¡± Yin Shaojie roasted her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment. Then she coughed awkwardly and said, ¡°Well¡ Even the best fall down sometimes! Besides, Yu Zhe wasn¡¯t really that bad¡ It¡¯s already in the past. Why are you bringing it up again?¡±
¡°Who asked you to be so chummy with him?¡± Yin Shaojie sat down, looking at her.
He was annoyed at the thought of how chummy she was with that Yu Zhe.
She would always go to the cafeteria with Yu Zhe and leave him by himself.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to talk about these things with him. Looking at the pastries on the te, she changed the subject and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to get strawberry cake? Why isn¡¯t it here?¡±
¡°There are no more strawberry cakes,¡± Yin Shaojie said.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. ¡°But I want them¡¡±
As though Yin Shaojie already knew how she would respond, heughed, ¡°I have already told the chef to prepare it. I¡¯ll get it for youter.¡±
¡°Hehe, thanks!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and sent him a flying kiss.
After a while, He Qiya came over to them carrying a whole strawberry cake.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, this is for you. You like strawberry cakes, right?¡±
¡°Thanks.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she took it.
¡°Um¡¡± He Qiya seemed as if she had something to say. She hesitated, looking at her but she was afraid to look at Yin Shaojie beside her.
¡°Is anything the matter?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked her considerately.
She nced at Yin Shaojie and made up an excuse to send him away. ¡°Help me get a drink. I want a hot one.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Yin Shaojie got up and left.
After Him Shaojie left she rxed as if a weight were taken off of her.
Mu Xiaoxiao pointed to the position next to her and said, ¡°Don¡¯t keep standing there. Sit down. Is there anything you want to tell me?¡±
¡°Actually¡¡± He Qiya sat down and looked at her hesitatingly.
Chapter 1278 - The Mysterious Deskmate (48)
Chapter 1278: The Mysterious Deskmate (48)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
From her expression, it seemed like a topic that was difficult to broach.
Mu Xiaoxiao said teasingly, ¡°Just say it. I won¡¯t beat people. I don¡¯t want Yin Shaojie to be so fierce.¡±
She took a deep breath and finally found courage. She looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know what she meant by that apology. She didn¡¯t reply but kept listening.
He Qiya dropped her head, looking sorry as she said, ¡°Actually, the president didn¡¯t send me any gifts. I lied to my friends. I was the one who bought the Chanel bag for myself¡¡±
¡°Why?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked, her tone was filled only with curiosity.
¡°I¡¡± He Qiya was very embarrassed, her ears were red and her head drooped lower and lower.
Mu Xiaoxiao said deliberately, ¡°Can you look up and talk to me? You acting like this¡ makes me feel like I¡¯m so ugly that you don¡¯t even want to look at me.¡±
¡°No.¡± He Qiya looked up at her eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s smile was so cheerful and sweet as though they were only having an idle chat instead of talking about serious things.
He Qiya felt a lot more rxed upon seeing her smile.
¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± she said.
Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or cry, ¡°What¡¯s with the ¡®sorry¡¯ again? Can¡¯t you use some other words?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s smile was getting to He Qiya because she smiled as well. Shemented, ¡°You¡¯re so magnanimous. I thought that you¡¯d be angry about the gift.¡±
¡°So you thought I¡¯d hate you?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and gave a yful smile.
He Qiya was startled as she looked at her.
She hadn¡¯t expect her to be so blunt.
¡°I¡¯m someone¡ who goes by intuition. I don¡¯t hate you,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said to her.
She had some recollection of He Qiya. After all, she had been around the Student Union with Yin Shaojie often, so she had seen the department heads a couple of times. Though she wasn¡¯t very familiar with them, she had at least some impression of them.
Though she didn¡¯t have much of an impression of He Qiya, at least it wasn¡¯t a bad one.
She always seemed to be smiling and amiable. And she seemed to be on good terms with the members of the Student Union, always talking andughing around them.
ording to Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s intuition, this girl couldn¡¯t be someone with ill intentions.
¡°Thank you.¡± He Qiya said gratefully, her expression wasplicated. Then she smiled and said, ¡°Actually, I always thought that you were a very nice girl and I¡¯ve wanted to get acquainted with you, but I didn¡¯t dare to.¡±
¡°Why? Am I that scary?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked funnily.
He Qiya shook her head.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°It¡¯s because of that Yin Shaojie, right?¡±
He Qiya gently nodded. She felt more rxed after the conversation.
This allowed her to face her wrongdoing squarely.
She said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I was too vain! Last year, on my birthday, I identally told my friends that I liked Young Master Jie. One of them had a boyfriend who was my ex. They triggered me and in a moment of impulse, I went to buy that Chanel bag and told them that Young Master Jie gave it to me. All this time I¡¯ve been living a lie.¡±
Fortunately, her friends weren¡¯t studying at Shangde so they couldn¡¯t find out the truth.
Chapter 1279 - The Mysterious Deskmate (49)
Chapter 1279: The Mysterious Deskmate (49)
This was also the main reason why she had lied to them.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her and asked, ¡°Did you friends go overboard saying things to you?¡±
He Qiya was silent for a while. Then she smiled, but there was some bitterness in it.
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed and asked again, ¡°Was it one of the three from earlier?¡±
They had really gone too far!
However, what she couldn¡¯t understand was why He Qiya still wanted to treat them as friends even after what happened.
He Qiya shook her head and said, ¡°No. That friend¡ went overseas with her boyfriend. She¡¯s not in China now.¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it your birthday today? She¡¯s noting back to celebrate with you?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised.
¡°It¡¯s only a birthday. It¡¯s not a big deal,¡± said He Qiya.
¡°Today is your eighteenth birthday, right?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked straight into her eyes and saw a trace of sadness inside.
An eighteenth birthday marked the passage into adulthood.
Shouldn¡¯t her good friends be there to celebrate this event with her?
He Qiya smiled and said, ¡°My friend values boys over friends. Her boyfriend is more important to her. Of course I can¡¯t be more important than her boyfriend.¡±
¡°It¡¯s only she who thinks that you¡¯re not important,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said.
He Qiya¡¯s smile stiffened.
¡°Why do you care about a friend like her? It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t have other friends,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
Those three girls from earlier weren¡¯t very genuine friends either.
Evidently, He Qiya didn¡¯t want to talk about this. Her expression didn¡¯t look good as she hurriedly exined, ¡°They treat me as a friend. It¡¯s just¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t bear to expose her.
He Qiyaughed bitterly, her eyes filled with envy as she looked at Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°You know what? Every time I see you together with Qiqing, I feel very envious. I feel very envious of your friendship.¡±
She could tell from their conversations and how they touched each other how good their friendship was.
Moreover, whenever Han Qiqing was chatting with Song Shijun at the Student Union, she would mention Mu Xiaoxiao from time to time.
He Qiya could always overhear Han Qiqing talking about the things that Xiaoxiao liked, the things that she hated, and what Xiaoxiao was doing that day.
To tell if a person really treated you as a friend, you could simply tell from how they behave and talk about you behind your back.
Thus, He Qiya could see how much Han Qiqing cared about Mu Xiaoxiao.
He Qiya was green with envy at the thought of their close friendship.
Mu Xiaoxiao said to her, ¡°You can have that too, but you are looking for the wrong person. Those who don¡¯t treat you as a friend shouldn¡¯t be treated as a friend either!¡±
Hearing that, He Qiya stared nkly for some time.
Mu Xiaoxiao patted her shoulder and said, ¡°Thank you for telling me about the gift. I wish you a happy birthday.¡±
With that said, she got up and walked over to Yin Shaojie.
At that moment, she felt that she should give He Qiya some space to think things over.
The three girls came over to Qiya.
Chapter 1280 - The Mysterious Deskmate (50)
Chapter 1280: The Mysterious Deskmate (50)
¡°Qiya, what were you talking to her about? Don¡¯t apologize to her like an idiot. It¡¯s not our fault. She¡¯s obviously¡¡±
¡°She looks like a scheming girl, otherwise how could Young Master Jie be so good toward her? I wonder what kind of spell she put on Young Master Jie!¡±
¡°Could she have some special abilities in ¡®that¡¯ area?¡±
¡°Heh, I think so too. On the surface, she may look innocent, but on the inside she¡¯s super flirtatious. Don¡¯t guys like those kinds of girls?¡±
As He Qiya listened, she frowned and her expression changed as she looked at them.
¡°Enough!¡± she whisper-shouted them.
¡°What? Qiya, what¡¯s up with you?¡±
He Qiya gave a long exhale as if she were breathing out all the anger that had umted inside her.
¡°I said enough!¡± This time, she said it very seriously, emphasizing every word, her eyes resolute as she stared at them.
One of them was unhappy. ¡°He Qiya, what¡¯s the meaning of this? We are helping you!
¡°Helping me?¡± He Qiya sneered. She shook her head, looked at them, and said, ¡°You¡¯ll be helping me if you stop causing trouble for me! Mu Xiaoxiao was right. If you were really my friend you wouldn¡¯t put me in an embarrassing situation on my birthday!¡±
¡°What was she bad-mouthing us about?¡±
¡°She didn¡¯t!¡± He Qiya looked directly at them and said without holding herself back, ¡°She only taught me what it means to be a friend and what it means to be a¡ hypocrite!¡±
Why would she want to keep fake friends like them?
He Qiya¡¯s eyes darkened.
Although she was a daughter of the rich He Family, the He Family had always favored males over females. Ever since she was young, she had been neglected.
At home, she was dispensable. Her parents didn¡¯t care about her and her brothers were always ordering her around.
She didn¡¯t receive warmth from her family, so she longed for friendship.
So when she had friends around her, she did everything she could to treat them well.. She wanted to keep her friends and wanted to be someone whom they care about.
Qiya knew very well that she wasn¡¯t that important to them. But she kept consoling herself that they would start to treat her as an important friend.
However, she was wrong.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s words had woken her up.
She shouldn¡¯t have to lower herself when making friends. Friends were formed when people had an affinity for each other.
They¡ were simply not suitable to be her friends.
He Qiya had always disliked how the three of them bad-mouthed people among themselves. They were narrow minded and were always scheming.
She had thought that they were her friends, so she tried to be tolerant. But she was wrong. Their views and values were different. It was impossible for them to be friends.
Upon hearing what He Qiya said, the three girls frowned and said angrily. ¡°Qiya, are you listening to her now? You don¡¯t want to be friends with us? Hypocrites? You¡¯re saying that we are hypocritical? How are we hypocritical!¡±
¡°Of course you are!¡± He Qiya raised her voice, not caring if other people were watching.
She looked straight at them. She had never been in a situation like this before.
¡°When have you ever treated me sincerely? Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know that you three are alwaysughing about me behind my back, saying that I¡¯m stupid! I heard it on two asions! I only pretended not to have heard it!¡±

The three of them were her good friends from before she entered Shangde High. Because they weren¡¯t from the same school, they couldn¡¯t hang out often. Afraid that their friendship would fizzle out, she initiated outings to go out shopping or to get food with them every weekend.
Because she was the one who always invited them out, she would pay for everything they bought or ate.
However, even though she was the heiress to the He Family, she wasn¡¯t pampered at home and thus didn¡¯t have a lot of money.
But to maintain their friendship, she was willing to spend money on them, even though she had to ask her parents for money.
However, what did she get in return?
They mocked her!
She knew all about it. One time when she waste to their meeting, she identally heard what they said about her behind her back.
She just didn¡¯t want to face it.
However, right now, she had the courage to do so.
In the past, she had been foolish. That was why she stupidly thought that so long as she treated her friends well, she could keep keep being friends with them.
The three girls looked at each other, evidently having never seen this side of Qiya before.
One of the girls hurriedly said in a gentle voice, ¡°Qiya¡ We have treated you like you are our best friend. Don¡¯t listen to that bitch trying to sow discord¡¡±
¡°You¡¯re the the bitches!¡± He Qiya scolded them unceremoniously.
The three of them were stunned but fury quickly flooded their face.
However, He Qiya pointed at the three of them and roared, ¡°Let me tell you, Mu Xiaoxiao is an esteemed guest I invited specially. She isn¡¯t someone you can just holler at! From today on, you¡¯re not my friends anymore. Get out from here! You¡¯re not wee at my birthday party!¡±
¡°You¡¡± The three of them were even more shocked now.
¡°He Qiya, are you crazy? We¡¯re your real friends!¡±
He Qiyaughed. ¡°I was crazy before to think of you as my friends. I¡¯m now very clear-minded and I¡¯m very sure who my real friends are.¡±
One girl pointed at her nose and scolded her angrily, ¡°He Qiya, don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re doing! You¡¯re just doing this to cozy up to her! You¡¯re disgusting! You¡¯re abandoning us, your friends, just to get into Young Master Jie¡¯s good books. You have no right to be our friend!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right! From today on, don¡¯t expect us to care about you anymore! Don¡¯t ever look for us again!¡±
He Qiya turned her chin up and looked at them. She only said two words: ¡°Get out!¡±
Upon seeing her resolution, they turned beet red with anger.
¡°So what! He Qiya, even if you beg us in the future, we will never be your friends ever again!¡±
With that said, the three of them stepped on their high heels and stalked off in anger.
He Qiya took a deep breath. Without the noisy people by her side, the atmosphere became quieter and morefortable.
She smiled, and now bore the countenance of an heiress. She said to the other people politely, ¡°Sorry about the little problem. Everything is okay now, so please continue to enjoy yourselves~¡±
Right now, she didn¡¯t feel any of the awkwardness or sadness of ending a friendship.
Just then, someone started pping.
¡°You¡¯re awesome, Qiya!¡±
¡°Qiya, you were so cool when you were scolding them earlier!¡±

¡°Things are as they should be! Who were those three girls anyway? They¡¯re not fit to even hold the shoes of our Department Head!¡±
¡°Department Head, that was beautifully executed! No wonder you¡¯re our Department Head!¡±
In the end, the crowd congratted her together, ¡°He Qiya! Happy birthday!¡±
He Qiya looked at them, tears swimming in her eyes.
¡°Thank you everyone¡¡±
She felt reborn at this moment. She had never felt so blessed.
In front of her, Yin Shaojie was being pushed by Mu Xiaoxiao. In his hands was a bouquet of fresh flowers. They were so big that they wererger than a person¡¯s face.
¡°Hurry up and do it!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and pushed him again.
Helpless, Yin Shaojie could only re at her before he strode over.
Everyone started to cheer.
¡°Ay¡ª President! President! President!¡±
Yin Shaojie walked over and held the flowers out to He Qiya. In his stately Presidential tone, he said, ¡°He Qiya, happy birthday. Thank you for your contributions to the Student Union. In the future, I hope¡¡±
Upon hearing his diplomatic speech, the crowd couldn¡¯t help but boo.
Yin Shaojie swept a ce across them. ¡°Have you forgotten who I am?¡±
The crowd was stunned andughed nervously.
Someone cried out ingratiatingly, ¡°The President¡¯s speech is terrific!¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled and said, ¡°Enough, stop your bootlicking.¡±
The restughed as the atmosphere rxed.
He Qiya was smiling as well. She took the flowers and sniffed them before smiling at him. ¡°Thank you, President!¡±
She then turned to look at Mu Xiaoxiao behind him, moved.
Thank you, Mu Xiaoxiao.
Thank you for fulfilling a dream that I never dared to pursue.
Right there and then, she let go of her crush for Yin Shaojie.
¡
Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie walked down the street, hand-in-hand.
Behind them, a crowd of Student Union members were nning to sing karaoke after the meal.
The two of them decided not to go and thus parted ways with them.
¡°Eh, oh right!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered something. ¡°Where is Shijun? Didn¡¯t he say he was looking for Qiqing? He¡¯s been gone for a long time. We¡¯ve already finished eating, but there¡¯s still no sign of him!¡±
Yin Shaojie held her little hand and swung it. There was a light smile ying on his handsome face as he shrugged and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him and knew that he didn¡¯t care about what was happening to Song Shijun.
¡°You¡¯ve only had two or three sses of wine, right? Why do you seem like you¡¯re drunk?¡±
Towards the end of their revelry, the mood was very lively, and he had drank a few sses of wine after being encouraged to do so by the crowd.
Mu Xiaoxiao took out her phone and called Song Shijun¡¯s number.
She was actually a little worried about Qiqing.
After a long while, Song Shijun finally picked up just before the dial tone ended.
¡°Hello!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao asked bluntly, ¡°Song Shijun, did you go to the moon to pick up Qiqing? Why are you taking so long! We¡¯ve already finished eating! Where did you go?¡±
¡°Uh, about that¡¡± Song Shijun stammered.
¡°What happened? Did something happen to Qiqing?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked worriedly.
¡°Kinda¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao hurried asked, ¡°What happened to Qiqing? Hurry up and tell me! Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier? You¡¯ll be the death of me!¡±

If something had really happened to Qiqing, he should have called her to say so!
Song Shijun said, ¡°She said she¡¯s fine, and told me not to interrupt your meal.¡±
¡°What happened to Qiqing? Tell me first!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao interrogated, looking worried for Qiqing.
¡°Her¡ that¡¡± His tone made it seem as though he found it hard to speak out about the matter.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t stand his hemming and hawing. ¡°Song Shijun, what is wrong with you today? Why are you stammering? Can¡¯t you just spit it out?¡±
¡°She¡ it¡¯s about that¡ aiyoh! It¡¯s the thing that you girls get every month!¡± Song Shijun said everything in a single breath.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned before augh escaped her lips. ¡°So you¡¯re taking care of her right now?¡±
¡°She said there was no one at home, so she didn¡¯t want to go home and wanted to stay in school. She then told me to buy this and that for her. I¡¯m almost¡ I¡¯m almost going mad! Do you know how weirdly I got stared at by other people when I went to get ¡®that thing¡¯ from the supermarket¡ I was so¡ Boohoo, I understand the meaning of the phrase ¡®to want to dig a hole and hide inside¡¯ now,¡± Song Shijun said.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help butugh out loud. ¡°Hahahaha¡ alright, alright. It must have been hard on you. Has Qiqing eaten?¡±
¡°She has¡ I bought food for her. Hey, why didn¡¯t you ask if I¡¯ve eaten? I gave up the good food and rushed back to take care of her¡ You girls are so troublesome!¡± Song Shijun sighed as he said.
Mu Xiaoxiao understood him, and said, ¡°You won¡¯t mistreat your stomach.¡±
¡°Am I supposed to mistreat her then?¡± Song Shijun asked in return.
Mu Xiaoxiao held in herughter andforted hurriedly, ¡°I know you won¡¯t. Alright, for how well you¡¯re treating Qiqing, I¡¯ll give you a little red flower as a reward, okay?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not a kid. No one wants your red flower. I think you¡¯d better save it for Shaojie. Alright, I¡¯ll end the call here. Qiqing looks like she¡¯s asleep. I¡¯ll go and watch over her.¡±
¡°Okay, bye. Thanks for the hard work~¡±
After hanging up, she couldn¡¯t help but smile.
¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Yin Shaojie smiled as he looked at her.
¡°Nothing. I¡¯m just very touched by how well Shijun treats Qiqing.¡±
During their meal earlier, Song Shijun had called Qiqing just to ask when she was going to arrive. However, after talking with her Song Shijun rushed out.
Mu Xiaoxiao had originally thought that he was going to bring Qiqing over.
It seemed as though he had rushed to look for Qiqing because he could tell that she was unwell.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought about something and smiled suggestively. She looked at Yin Shaojie, her smiling crescent eyes looking crafty as a fox¡¯s.
Why are you grinning like that?¡± Yin Shaojie reached out to stroke her hair, as though he were petting a little house cat.
¡°Nothing. I just feel that¡ They reallyplement each other! If there were someone who was that nice to me, I would feel very touched.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao hugged his arm, practically leaning her petite body against his.
¡°Do I not treat you well?¡± Yin Shaojie looked down at her.
¡°You do, but¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao saw something suddenly and rushed out from his embrace, pulling him forward as she ran.
¡°But what?¡± Yin Shaojie asked as he followed.

She smiled at him. ¡°You can still treat me even better!¡±
Yin Shaojieughed, ¡°Aren¡¯t you a bit too greedy?¡±
Was he still not good enough for her?
He had given her everything that he could give.
Sometimes, he wished that he could give her all the good things in the world.
Mu Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue at him cheekily, in high spirits. ¡°It¡¯s your fault. You spoiled me¡±
She took him to the front of a shop.
On both sides of the shop wererge ss windows. She nearly pressed against the ss window, her eyes shining as she stared at the kitten inside.
¡°So many kittens! So cute! Look.¡±
So she took him here because she saw the kittens.
Yin Shaojie stood behind her, his tall body looming over her.
He put his hands on the ss window, trapping her between his chest and the ss.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked back at him. Her expression was filled with tenderness as if her whole heart had melted. ¡°Look. It¡¯s so cute, right? I really want to take it back home~¡±
The little kittens looked like they had just learned to walk. They were small and walked unstably. They were simply too adorable.
Yin Shaojie put his chin on her shoulder, looked at the kitten inside, and whispered, ¡°Do you want it? We can buy one and take it home. You don¡¯t need to raise it. I¡¯ll have someone at home to take care of it. You can y with it whenever you want.¡±
He was talking about raising it at the Yin residence. It wouldn¡¯t be convenient to keep it at their condominium. They had to go to school and might not be able to care for the kitten.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, shook her head, and said, ¡°No.¡±
Even though she said that, her eyes seemed reluctant to part with the kitten as she stared at it.
Looking at her face from the side, Yin Shaojie kissed her.
¡°Are you still thinking about that little¡¡±
When she was young, she used to have a kitten. She liked it a lot, but¡
¡°No!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao interrupted him with a smile, her eyes were tender as she watched the adorable kitten. ¡°I don¡¯t want to have a pet now. Maybeter.¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded slightly. He didn¡¯t say anything and pressed his face against hers.
Mu Xiaoxiao was very happy as she watched. She pointed at the kitten inside andughed, ¡°Haha. Look at that one. So dumb! It¡¯s being pushed down by the other one. It¡¯s not happy about it, but it can¡¯t get out of it. It¡¯s too funny!¡±
¡°Look. Look at how this one is walking. It¡¯s feet are vibrating! Hey, how old do you think they are? This one is not even a month old, right?¡±
Yin Shaojie thought for a moment and answered her, ¡°It¡¯s two weeks old? I¡¯m don¡¯t know much about cats.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pointed to the small adjacent enclosure where there were two puppies.
¡°Look, doesn¡¯t that puppy look a little like you?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes narrowed. ¡°So you¡¯re saying that the kitten here looks like you? Mu Xiaoxiao, aren¡¯t you too in love with yourself?¡±
¡°In love with myself? How can Ipare to you! You¡¯re the one madly in love with yourself, okay?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pouted at him.
Yin Shaojie looked at her. Seeing the opportunity, he lowered his head and pecked her on her little mouth.
¡°Hey!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao hit his hand, embarrassed.
Yin Shaojieughed indecently. ¡°Didn¡¯t you want me to kiss you when you pouted? You wanted it, so I kissed you. But you hit me instead. My queen, you¡¯re so hard to please!¡±
Chapter 1285 - The Mysterious Deskmate (55)
Chapter 1285: The Mysterious Deskmate (55)
¡°When! When did I let you kiss me? You¡¯re just being a lecher.¡±
¡°Which part of me is lecherous?¡±
¡°You¡¯re lecherous in every way! You¡¯re always thinking about¡ ¡®that¡¯. And you¡¯re still saying that you¡¯re not a lecher? Your head is filled with dirty things.¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled sinisterly, his eyes filled with amusement. ¡°Every part of me is lecherous? Do you know my body like the back of your hand? When did that happen? Did you do something to me at night?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s cheeks reddened slightly. ¡°Don¡¯t forget who was the one who secretly kissed me when I was asleep.¡±
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll kiss openly from now on.¡±
With that said, he bossily pinched her chin, making her pout her lips. He pecked and kissed her.
¡°You¡¯re really¡¡±
Luckily, it was night time and there weren¡¯t many customers at the pet shop.
As the two were frolicking, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s cell phone rang.
¡°Don¡¯t pick it up.¡± Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t want to be disturbed in the middle of kissing.
¡°Maybe it¡¯s Qiqing?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao brushed his hand off and took out the phone.
Eh?
It wasn¡¯t Qiqing but Feng Tianqi.
Yin Shaojie took a peek. As soon as he saw the name, he said, ¡°Hang it up.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled, pushed him away, and said. ¡°Let me see what he is calling for.¡±
Upon connection, Feng Tianqi¡¯s frustrated voice was heard over the phone, ¡°Xiaoxiao, where are you now?¡±
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± His voice sounded as though something were wrong.
¡°I want to settle some ounts with you!¡± Feng Tianqi snorted.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. Perplexed, she asked, ¡°Huh? You want to settle ounts with me? Why?¡±
¡°It¡¯s all your fault! What kind of shit advice did you give me! You told me to go and kiss that¡ In any case, I¡¯m pissed now, and you have to be responsible for it!¡± Feng Tianqi¡¯s grievances could be clearly heard over the cell phone.
Mu Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded, her eyes batting stupidly.
Her advice?
She told him to go and kiss¡
Mu Xiaoxiao finally realized what it was about. She sniggered, and quickly pursed her lips lest sheughed too loud.
But she still couldn¡¯t restrain herself, ¡°Haha, my goodness! Don¡¯t tell me you really ran to kiss that girl?¡±
¡°Ptooey! It¡¯s all your fault for giving that dumb suggestion! Tell me where you are right now. I¡¯m going to find you and settle the score. I¡¯m super pissed now. You must take responsibility for it!¡± Feng Tianqi was extremely angry.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to settle things with him. But she was curious to know what happened between him and Bookworm.
Sigh, curiosity killed the cat!
Mu Xiaoxiao nced at Yin Shaojie, smiled at him, and then told Feng Tianqi where they were.
Yin Shaojie ced his palm against the ss in a dashing pose as he watched her.
¡°What¡¯s heing here for?¡± he asked in an unpleasant tone.
Mu Xiaoxiao wanted tough at the thought of this, so she told him concisely of what happened.
After listening to the story, Yin Shaojie raised his eyebrows.
¡°He¡ is he an idiot at love?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao poked his chest with her finger, pouted, and snorted. ¡°You think you are qualified to criticize him? Don¡¯t forget how you used to treat me.¡±
He was dense when it came to love as well!
Yin Shaojie put his arm over her shoulders and pulled her to him.
¡°It¡¯s not the same! We grew up together. I¡¯m just¡ Anyways, it¡¯s just not the same as his case!¡±
Chapter 1286 - The Mysterious Deskmate (56)
Chapter 1286: The Mysterious Deskmate (56)
Mu Xiaoxiao cast a sidelong nce at him. ¡°In any case, your emotional intelligence is not that great either. Don¡¯t go mocking him.¡±
¡°I want to mock him. Can¡¯t I do that? Whose girlfriend are you anyways? Why won¡¯t you let me mock him?¡± Yin Shaojie stared at her, annoyed that she was so protective of Feng Tianqi.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t be bothered to argue with him lest he get jealous again.
¡°I don¡¯t know when he will being. Let¡¯s go in and wait.¡±
In the store, there were lots of different breeds of cute cats. She wanted to go in and pet the cats.
¡°Why should we wait for him? Who is he?¡±
She actually wanted the Great Master Yin to wait for him?
Yin Shaojie grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little hand. He had to avoid Feng Tianqi.
¡°Let¡¯s go and take a walk over there. He cane and find us himself.¡±
¡°Sigh, you¡¯re really¡¡±
¡°Honk honk honk¡ª¡ª¡± Suddenly, a shrill horn sounded, obviously directed at them.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned to look and saw a matte blue roadster with a streamlined body parked along the side of the road. It looked really cool.
Just then, the car roof retracted, revealing Feng Tianqi¡¯s handsome face.
Earlier in the day, he had been very cheerful, but now he had a long face.
¡°Get in the car!¡± He waved at Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao onlyughed as she looked at him. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with him?¡±
Feng Tianqi made a cool pose, looking at her through the sides of his eyes and he said again, ¡°Get in the car! Both of you.¡±
Yin Shaojie took a step forward, holding Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand as he said to him bluntly. ¡°Sorry, it¡¯s alreadyte now. Our chauffeur will being soon. We¡¯re going home.¡±
Upon hearing that, his brows became even more wrinkled.
¡°It¡¯s not even ten o¡¯clock! How is itte! And I¡¯m looking for Xiaoxiao, not you. You can go back. Xiaoxiao, get in the car!¡±
Amused, Yin Shaojie looked at him. ¡°Kid, are you confused? She is my wife, not someone you can order around. She must first get my approval before she goes anywhere!¡±
What he said earlier sounded fine. But when it came to thetter part, Mu Xiaoxiao red at him.
What did he mean by saying that she had to get his approval first before going anywhere?
Feng Tianqi gnashed his teeth, ¡°Yin Shaojie, are you asking for a fight? Alright then, I just happen to be pissed off!¡±
He got up. With one hand on the door, the other hand on the windshield, he jumped straight out of the car.
He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight.
¡°Hey hey! No!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedly went in between them to stop them.
¡°Eh?!¡±
Her eyes widened in amazement as she looked at the right side of Feng Tianqi¡¯s face.
On his face was a red palm print¡
Staring nkly, she batted her eyes and said incredulously, ¡°You¡ Feng Tianqi, were you pped in the face?¡±
No wonder he had been holding the cool pose the whole time. He hadn¡¯t turned his head when looking at her. He must have been scared that she would see the palm print on his face!
Exposed, Feng Tianqi¡¯s face darkened and he quickly turned his face away.
¡°No!¡± he shouted in denial.
Mu Xiaoxiao was about tough to death, thinking that he looked too cute.
It seemed that he kissed Bookworm and got a p in return.
He had always thought that the girl was crazy about him so he was probably stupefied with such an unexpected response, right?
Chapter 1287 - The Mysterious Deskmate (57)
Chapter 1287: The Mysterious Deskmate (57)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
He probably never believed that she would p him.
And he was always so arrogant. No one had ever hit him like that before.
Analyzing his thought process, Mu Xiaoxiao thought it was so exciting and she wanted tough so badly!
It was a pity that she didn¡¯t see his expression right after he was pped in the face.
Although this was unbing of a friend, she was really curious to know how he looked at that time!
Hearing Mu Xiaoxiao, Feng Tianqi grit his teeth.
He howled at her in frustration, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao! Enough! You¡¯re stillughing! It¡¯s all your fault! I¡¯m telling you, you have to be responsible for this! ¡±
Yin Shaojie scoffed and he retorted at Feng Tianqi indignantly, ¡°What¡¯s there to be responsible for? You went and disrespected the girl. You deserve to be pped! What has this got to do with Xiaoxiao? Why does she have to take responsibility? Are you a nutjob? ¡±
¡°Who are you saying deserved it?¡± Feng Tianqi pointed at him in rage, looking as if he were about to beat someone up.
Mu Xiaoxiao tried to push them away.
Yin Shaojie frowned. Staring at her hand, he grabbed it back so that she couldn¡¯t touch another guy¡¯s body.
¡°Enough!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao howled at them. ¡°Can you two stop it?¡±
She looked at Feng Tianqi, sighed, and said, ¡°I know you must be feeling really angry now. What do you want me to do then?¡±
¡°Hey!¡± Yin Shaojie called out and red at her.
Feng Tianqi puffed his cheeks and said to her, ¡°I don¡¯t want to be alone. I want you to apany me.¡±
Yin Shaojie sneered, ¡°Why should my wife apany you just because you are unhappy?¡±
¡°Alright! How about this? You two will apany me, alright?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao spread open her hand and looked at them.
Feng Tianqi didn¡¯t look too agreeable.
Yin Shaojie was even more reluctant.
Both of them had a long face.
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at them. ¡°No? Forget it then! I¡¯ll sleep at Qiqing¡¯s house tonight. You two can go back home to your mothers!¡±
Hearing that, they both reached out and grabbed her hand.
¡°No!¡±
Yin Shaojie pped Feng Tianqi¡¯s hand away and pulled her into his arms.
He said reluctantly, ¡°Whatever you want.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and looked at Feng Tianqi. ¡°What about you?¡±
Feng Tianqi had no choice but topromise, ¡°Whatever you want.¡±
¡°Very good!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pped her hands and said with a smile. ¡°Let me see. Where should we go?¡±
Feng Tianqi nced at Yin Shaojie and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go up the mountain and race. There¡¯s an event there tonight.¡±
Without waiting for Yin Shaojie to answer, Mu Xiaoxiao rejected the suggestion for him.
¡°No! He was drinking earlier and can¡¯t drive.¡±
Feng Tianqi frowned, shooting Yin Shaojie a contemptuous look. ¡°How much did you drink? Aren¡¯t you too lousy? You only drank a little and you can¡¯t drive.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao felt like kicking him. She pointed at him and lectured him. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter how much you drink! You can¡¯t drink and drive! That¡¯s drunk driving! Do you understand?¡±
¡°You¡¯re annoying! He¡¯s not even drunk,¡± Feng Tianqi told her.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t restrain herself. She raised her hand, striking a pose as though she were going to hit him. ¡°In any case, no drinking and driving! It¡¯s considered drunk driving when you consume alcohol, got it?¡±
Feng Tianqi, who usually ignored people who tried to discipline him, said, ¡°Got it.¡±

Mu Xiaoxiao turned and pointed to the pet shop behind her and said, ¡°Come on. Let¡¯s go in.¡±
Feng Tianqi was going to follow behind her when he saw the kittens and puppies. His eyebrows furrowed and he immediately rejected the idea. ¡°No! I don¡¯t like pets, and I¡¯m allergic to dogs.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked back at him, folded her arms, and looked at him incredulously. ¡°You¡¯re allergic to dogs? Are you for real?¡±
¡°Duh, of course it¡¯s for real! Why do I want to lie to you?¡± Feng Tianqi looked as though he wouldn¡¯t go in.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. They couldn¡¯t just leave him alone outside, right?
She looked around and her gaze stopped at the mall next to the store.
She smiled and pointed to the mall, saying, ¡°You¡¯re unhappy, right? Let¡¯s go there and y! I guarantee that it¡¯ll cheer you up!¡±
¡°Where? What¡¯s there to y?¡± Feng Tianqi said disdainfully.
Looking back, Mu Xiaoxiao reluctantly waved to the kittens and puppies behind the ss window and said, ¡°Bye bye.¡±
Then she hugged Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm, pulling him as they walked toward the shopping center. Yin Shaojie said to Feng Tianqi, ¡°Come if you want. When I said that it¡¯ll cheer you up I meant it.¡±
Yin Shaojie looked down at her face and his finger lightly touched her cheek.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned to look at him.
Yin Shaojie stared at her, his eyes suggesting something.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled, buried her face in his arm, and she whispered to him, ¡°Geez, he¡¯s unhappy. Let¡¯s cheer him up. We¡¯ll have fun too. Besides, I haven¡¯t been there for some time. I really feel like going.¡±
¡°You mean the game room above?¡± He knew what she was nning to do.
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled mischievously, ¡°Yeah.¡±
Although Feng Tianqi was still annoyed, he still followed them obediently.
On the fifth floor of the mall, there was arge game room with various gaming equipment. On the outside was a row of w cranes.
Feng Tianqi swept a nce at the w cranes and he gave Mu Xiaoxiao a look of disdain as he said, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you were talking about this?¡±
¡°This is not bad. Let¡¯s y this first! After that, we¡¯ll go inside and y.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nudged Yin Shaojie, tolling him to go and buy some tokens.
After a short while, Yin Shaojie came out, carrying a bag of tokens.
Mu Xiaoxiao chose a w crane machine that she liked and waved at them. ¡°Come here. Let¡¯s have a challenge to see who gets it first, okay?¡±
¡°What¡¯s the reward?¡± Yin Shaojie asked with a smile.
Given his personality, he would never y such a childish game, but he could y along with her.
He remembered that when they were young, she really liked to y w cranes. She would always ask him to help her get the toys because she was lousy at it. She couldn¡¯t target the toys urately and had never seeded in getting a prize.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled at him. ¡°What reward do you want?¡±
¡°Since our objective here is to cheer up Feng Tianqi, let¡¯s not gamble, alright? Let¡¯s see who is better at this!¡±
She knew that she couldn¡¯t beat him so she gave herself a way out lest she loss.
Feng Tianqi didn¡¯t say anything as he stood by the side.

Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes narrowed and heughed mischievously. ¡°That¡¯s boring. It¡¯s more fun when there¡¯s a bet. Feng Tianqi, don¡¯t you think so too?¡±
Hearing that, Feng Tianqi instinctively nodded and said, ¡°Yeah. It¡¯s more fun when you bet.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at them, irritated. ¡°You guys are really¡ Must you always have a bet? You guys are ill! Get it treated!¡±
She secretly shot a look at Yin Shaojie.
This pig-head! What if Feng Tianqi lost? He would have to ept the punishment. Given Feng Tianqi¡¯s personality, he would definitely get unhappy. Wouldn¡¯t that defeat the purpose ofing here?
Yin Shaojie realized what she meant. On second thought, she seemed right. Of course, he wouldn¡¯t lose and he didn¡¯t want to lose on purpose either.
He spread open his hand and came to apromise. ¡°Alright then.¡±
Feng Tianqi didn¡¯t say anything. He had never wanted to y from the beginning.
Mu Xiaoxiao extended her hand to Yin Shaojie.
Without her saying anything, Yin Shaojie seemed to know what she wanted. He took a token and ced it in her hand.
¡°I¡¯ll go first!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said.
She walked up to the w crane, put in the token, and her eyes instantly became focused. She stared at the w above, aiming for the rag doll below.
Pah! She pressed the button forcefully.
Perhaps he was influenced by the intensity of her focus, but Feng Tianqi couldn¡¯t help but watch the w.
The w went down, grabbing at the doll.
Mu Xiaoxiao was very excited. She held her breath, quietly chanting, ¡°Grab it, grab it, grab it¡¡±
The w caught the doll.
Just as she was about to cheer, the rag doll slipped from the w. The w swayed back and forth as it returned to its original spot.
¡°Humph¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao whimpered gloomily as she pped the machine.
Damn!
Why did she always fail to get it!
¡°w cranes nowadays are too tough, aren¡¯t they? How can you even pick anything up?¡±
Feng Tianqi scoffed and roasted her, ¡°It¡¯s you who is lousy at it. Don¡¯t me it on the machine.¡±
¡°If you¡¯re so good, why don¡¯t you try it?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao taunted him, tilting her chin up at him.
¡°I¡¯m not interested!¡± Feng Tianqi was still insisting on his stance.
He wasn¡¯t going to y such a childish game. It would hurt his image!
Mu Xiaoxiao taunted, ¡°You don¡¯t know how to y, do you? You only know how to talk big. Anyone can do that! Jie, show him what a pro is!¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at the w crane,ughed, and said, ¡°I haven¡¯t yed in a long time. I don¡¯t know if I can get it.¡±
It wouldn¡¯t be surprising if he didn¡¯t get it. But he¡¯d still lose face, wouldn¡¯t he?
Most importantly, they had a third wheel with them.
Mu Xiaoxiao pulled him to her, made him stand where she was standing, and helped him to slot in the token.
Forced to step up to the machine that he wasn¡¯t that good at, he had no choice but to y.
Sure enough, on his first try, he failed to get the toy.
On his second try, he caught it, but the toy dropped before reaching the end.
The third try¡
The fourth try¡
¡°Sigh! What a pity!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shouted, tugging at Yin Shaojie¡¯s shirt anxiously.
Feng Tianqi rolled his eyes at them. Finally, he couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and said, ¡°Let me do it! You don¡¯t even know how to y! You¡¯re just wasting the tokens.¡±
He went up to Yin Shaojie and stretched out his hand.

Yin Shaojie looked at his hand but didn¡¯t give Feng Tianqi any tokens. He smirked and said, ¡°Can¡¯t you buy it yourself?¡±
¡°You¡ª¡ª¡± Feng Tianqi was furious. He had already decided to y along and now he still had to buy tokens himself?
¡°Alright, alright. You can have it.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao quickly intervened as the peacemaker. She slotted in the token, pulled Yin Shaojie away, and let Feng Tianqi stand in front of the machine.
Feng Tianqi shot a taunting look at Yin Shaojie. ¡°Watch and learn!¡±
Yin Shaojie ignored him.
He didn¡¯t believe that this punk could get it in one shot.
Feng Tianqi smiled. Suddenly he opened his hands, hugged the machine, and shook it hard as though he were going to damage it.
¡°What are you doing?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked uprehendingly.
¡°You¡¯ll know in a bit!¡± Feng Tianqi said proudly. Noticing time was about to run out, he stopped and manipted the w above the doll.
The w lowered, grabbed the doll, and smoothly lifted it up. The w and doll moved towards the chute
Mu Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded. She couldn¡¯t help but p her hands and shouted incredulously. ¡°Wow! You really caught it! You really caught it! You got the doll! Awesome!¡±
She quickly went to retrieve the doll, holding it like a baby.
¡°Feng Tianqi, how are you so good at this?¡± She looked at him, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
Yin Shaojie frowned as he stood by the side. ¡°You cheated. What if you spoiled the machine? What would be the fun in that!¡±
Feng Tianqi snatched the doll from Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand and yed with it, deliberately making Yin Shaojie angry, ¡°Not fun? That¡¯s how you get it! It¡¯s a trick!¡±
Yin Shaojie sneered at him, ¡°It seems that you have lots of time on your hands. How do you know all about this?¡±
Feng Tianqi¡¯s face was taut. ¡°I just happened to read it somewhere, okay? I have a highly retentive memory. What¡¯s wrong with that?¡±
¡°Okay! Stop quarreling!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or cry as she watched them. Were these two born enemies? Geez!
She changed the subject and said, ¡°This isn¡¯t fun. Let¡¯s go in and y something else. Come on. Come on!¡±
Her left hand hugged Yin Shaojie while her right hand tugged at Feng Tianqi¡¯s shirt as they went in.
Upon entering, there weren¡¯t many people inside. Most were elementary school students.
¡°I¡¯m actually ying the same games as elementary school students. I must be crazy!¡± Feng Tianqi was still grumbling.
¡°Don¡¯t you get it? You have to y these childish things to feel like a child. This way, it¡¯ll be easier to cheer yourself up! Come here. Let¡¯s y this.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao took them to a machine.
Yin Shaojie and Feng Tianqi frowned at the same time, immediately shaking their heads as they said, ¡°I¡¯m not ying this!¡±
This was a dancing game!
Was she crazy? She actually wanted them to y a dancing game?
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled mischievously. Looking as though she were waiting to enjoy a show, she egged them on, ¡°Come on, this is the coolest game. Let¡¯s see who¡¯s the most dashing.¡±
Yin Shaojie shrugged and said magnanimously, ¡°I¡¯ll let him take this one. You go.¡±
Thetter part of what he said was directed at Feng Tianqi.
¡°I¡¯m not gonna y this! You can y it. You can be as dashing as you want,¡± Feng Tianqi said.
Mu Xiaoxiao grumbled, ¡°You guys areme! How can you not y the dance machine when at the arcade? This is the most fun!¡±
¡°If you like it so much, why don¡¯t you y it then?¡± Feng Tianqi looked at her.

Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to. I haven¡¯t yed for a long time. What if I do badly? It¡¯ll be embarrassing!¡±
Seeing that they were unwilling to y, she had no choice but to give up.
¡°Alright then. You guys can y the basketball game. See who scores the most points. No objections, right?¡±
As they walked over to the basketball shootout machine, she nced back at the dance machine longingly.
Sigh, she really wanted to watch Yin Shaojie y!
She pouted, nudged Yin Shaojie with her elbow, looked at him, and said, ¡°You don¡¯t want to y?¡±
Yin Shaojie curled his finger and knocked her on the head, saying, ¡°Stop dreaming about it!¡±
¡°Lame!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao puffed up her cheeks and said, ¡°I thought there was nothing that could faze you. So you do have things that you suck at.¡±
¡°No one is good at everything.¡± Yin Shaojie put his arm over her shoulder and took the chance to kiss her on the cheek.
¡°However, I¡¯m very happy that you see me in that light.¡±
Except for things like that dance machine, he would do his best to make her happy in other areas.
For example¡
Yin Shaojie looked at the basketball shootout machine in front of him, his eyes brimming with confidence.
¡°Come on. Let¡¯s have a match!¡± He said to Feng Tianqi. Yin Shaojie grabbed a basketball and raised it up, and with a flick of the wrist, he threw the ball through the hoop.
Feng Tianqi¡¯spetitive spirit was roused. ¡°Alright!¡±
Standing at the side as the referee, Mu Xiaoxiao grinned and shouted, ¡°Begin!¡±
The two men slotted the tokens in at the same time.
The next second, orange basketballs were flying through the air and it was a dazzling sight.
The score on both sides were rising rapidly. They were evenly matched, one-upping one another. It was difficult to see who was dominant.
Mu Xiaoxiao was very excited, her fist clenched as she jumped and shouted. ¡°Yin Shaojie! Let¡¯s go! Yin Shaojie! Go, go!¡±
Yin Shaojie was happy that she was cheering for him. The corner of his lips curled up in a smile.
At that moment, he took the lead.
Feng Tianqi frowned, dissatisfied as he said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you were going to cheer me up? You¡¯re not cheering for me. Aren¡¯t you being biased?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue, and she sang a different tune, ¡°Feng Tianqi! Let¡¯s go! Yin Shaojie! You too! Let¡¯s go you two!¡±
Feng Tianqi was still not unsatisfied.
¡°You have to cheer for me alone! Not him!¡± He protested, his hands not stopping as he continued to catch up to Yin Shaojie¡¯s score.
¡°Okay, okay, okay, Feng Tianqi! Go, go! Feng Tianqi! Go, go! Feng Tianqi is the best! Feng Tianqi is the greatest!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smoothed his feathers.
Yin Shaojie tutted and shot a look at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled at him.
The two had reached an intense stage of the battle.
It was harder to catch up in theter part of the game and there was little difference in their scores.
¡°Beep¡ª¡ª¡± the basketball shootout machine made the ending beep.
Yin Shaojie won by a few points!
Feng Tianqi wouldn¡¯t ept his defeat, ¡°Again!¡±
Yin Shaojie ignored him and turned to Mu Xiaoxiao to receive her praise.
¡°Xiaoxiao¡¡±
However, Mu Xiaoxiao was not even looking at him and she didn¡¯t know that the game had ended.
Yin Shaojie looked where she was looking. A handsome man was ying the dance machine.
He frowned with displeasure. Hisrge hand stretched out and blocked her sight.
¡°What are you doing!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked like she were waving off flies as she pushed his hand away.

¡°You like to watch so badly?¡± Yin Shaojie walked over beside her. This time, he was even more bossy. He pinched her chin and turned her little face to make her look at him.
¡°That guy looks so cool!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes sparkled.
The look on her face made Yin Shaojie upset. ¡°You¡¯re still watching?¡±
¡°Geez, I¡¯m only watching. It¡¯s not like I¡¯m going to do anything. Stop blocking me. This person is really good. Look.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was getting more excited as she watched and she instinctively walked in that direction.
At the dance machine, a crowd gathered to watch his brilliant performance.
Yin Shaojie grabbed her arm and stopped her from going over.
Mu Xiaoxiao then turned to look at him. She pointed at the guy funnily. ¡°That¡¯s a middle school student. Do you have to be so jealous?¡±
¡°Who said that I was jealous? I just reminding you that your attention should be ced on your boyfriend, not on other men!¡± Yin Shaojie said seriously as his ck pupils were fixed on her.
¡°Other men? That¡¯s just a boy. He¡¯s not a man!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao really didn¡¯t know what to say. Though the boy dancing was tall andnky, he had a child-like face. She could tell from a nce that he must be in junior high. Even if she were that promiscuous, she wouldn¡¯t fall for a little boy, right?
Did he have to be so jealous?
Just then, someone interrupted. ¡°I think so too. Mu Xiaoxiao, your behavior has crossed the line. We were battling so intensely but you went to watch someone else instead? Is that being respectful to us?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao turned to look at Feng Tianqi. ¡°Don¡¯t butt in!¡±
¡°Just turn your attention back to us and that¡¯ll be it. Yin Shaojie, let¡¯s have another match!¡± Feng Tianqi waved to Mu Xiaoxiao, motioning her to go back.
Yin Shaojie put his arm over her shoulder and pulled her back. Seeing that she was still looking over there, he bossily turned her head around.
¡°Look again if you dare,¡± he threatened her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless. She was only watching someone dance. Was that a crime?
Why was this guy getting more and more bossy?
She tutted. ¡°Fine, I won¡¯t watch. You two can continue the match.¡±
Feng Tianqi stood in front of the basketball shooting machine, prepared to start the game.
However, Yin Shaojie pointed at the drumming game and said to him, ¡°Let¡¯s y something else. There are so many games here. Let¡¯spete for each game. How about that?¡±
Feng Tianqi still wanted to win at the basketball shootout machine, but seeing that Yin Shaojie was so insistent, he agreed to it.
The two went in front of the drum machine.
They slotted in the tokens.
Mu Xiaoxiao stood behind, grinning as she shouted, ¡°Begin!¡±
Thus, the two entered a fiercepetition again.
Just then, screams and apuse came from the dance machine. Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but turn to look. The crowd was getting bigger and she didn¡¯t see anything through the corner of her eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes darted around cleverly. Taking advantage of their preupation with their match, she said, ¡°I¡¯m so thirsty. I¡¯m going to buy drinks. What do you guys want to drink?¡±
Feng Tianqi said, ¡°Anything!¡±
Yin Shaojie turned and gave her a look.
Mu Xiaoxiao had a feeling that he had seen through her. She secretly stuck out her tongue when Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Anything. Whatever you drink.¡±
She smiled. ¡°I¡¯ll go get it then. I¡¯ll be back soon! Go, go! You two!¡±
She secretly walked past the dancing machine and tried to get a few glimpses before going to buy the drinks.

At the entrance to the arcade.
Jun Zeye looked helpless as a cute little girl dragged him in.
¡°Brother Zeye. Pretty please.¡± The little girl sped his hand as she pouted and pleaded with him in a soft voice.
Jun Zeye looked at her and nodded.
¡°Yeah! I love you, Brother Zeye!¡± The little girl happily went up to hug his waist. Then she held his hand as they walked over to the counter. She pointed at the biggest Little Red Riding Hood plushie on the gift cab.
¡°I want this!¡± The little girl cried out in a silvery voice.
The male staff at the counter smiled, poked his head out, and said to her, ¡°Little girl, this plushie goes for a thousand points.¡±
The little girl ttened her mouth and asked him, ¡°Mister, can we use money to buy it?¡±
¡°No, you must umte points in order to exchange for the plushie.¡± The male staff smiled cordially and replied to her in the same cutesy voice.
The little girl grabbed Jun Zeye¡¯s hand with both hands, her eyes limpid as she looked at him, pleading..
¡°Brother Zeye¡ I really want this¡¡±
Jun Zeye looked at the male staff and asked in a deep voice, ¡°How do we get the points?¡±
The male staff pointed to the machines in the arcade. ¡°You get points depending on the score that you get for each game. In other words, the better you are at each game, the more points you can get.¡±
¡°What¡¯s the maximum number of points I can get in one shot?¡± he asked methodically.
The male staff said straightforwardly, ¡°For example, the most points that someone has gotten for that shooting game was about¡ fifty points.¡±
¡°Wow! Fifty at once? That¡¯s a lot!¡± Hearing that, the little girl¡¯s mouth opened wide in awe.
She tugged at Jun Zeye¡¯s arm and said to him, ¡°Whenever Ie and y with my ssmates, we only can get about eight to ten at a time.¡±
Jun Zeye took a quick look at the shooting game and saw that it needed two tokens for every attempt. Thus, he said to the male staff, ¡°Give me forty tokens.¡±
¡°Forty?¡± The male staff was startled. He did some mental calctions and seemed as though he realized what he was up to.
Did he want to get the highest score on every attempt?
How could that be possible!
The male staff member smiled. ¡°Actually, you can also y other games, for example, the pinball game where there is some luck involved. If you are lucky, you can get thirty to forty points.¡±
Jun Zeye interrupted him, his resolute expression unchanged. ¡°Please give me forty tokens.¡±
With that said, he took out forty yuan from his wallet and handed it to him.
The male staff looked at the money and said, ¡°Well¡ if you buy fifty tokens, you can get an additional ten for free.¡±
¡°No need. Just forty tokens.¡± Jun Zeye had no intention to change his n.
Seeing that he couldn¡¯t be persuaded, the male staff had no choice but to give him forty tokens.
Nearby, Mu Xiaoxiao had bought the drinks. As her hands were rtively small, it was hard for her to hold the three drinks in her hands so she sped the three bottles together to carry them. But the three bottles seemed as though they were not doing as she wished. They turned about and one of the bottles fell out of her hand.
A hand reached out and grabbed it as fast as lightning.
Shocked, Mu Xiaoxiao looked up.

¡°Thanks¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked over with a smile, but she didn¡¯t expect to be confronted by Jun Zeye¡¯s cold, handsome face.
¡°Eh! It¡¯s you! Why are you¡¡±
Before she could finish speaking, Jun Zeye handed the drink back to her as though he didn¡¯t know her. Then he took the little girl and went to the shooting game machine.
The little girl looked back at Mu Xiaoxiao, tugged at Jun Zeye¡¯s hand, and whispered, ¡°Brother Zeye, that pretty sister looked like she was calling you. Does she know you? Why did you ignore her?¡±
Jun Zeye didn¡¯t reply to her.
The little girl pouted and thought for a moment. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she blocked her mouth with a hand and whispered to him, ¡°I know. This beautiful girl is your girlfriend, right? Did you two quarrel?¡±
Jun Zeye finally looked at her and said in a deep and low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. Do you still want the plushie or not?¡±
¡°Yes!¡± The little girl quickly raised her hand.
¡°Then don¡¯t talk so much,¡± Jun Zeye looked at her and said.
¡°Okay.¡± The little girl was very obedient. As if she were afraid that she would not be able to restrain herself, she covered her mouth with her little hands.
Seeing her cute behavior, the corner of his lips moved slightly.
Mu Xiaoxiao followed behind them curiously. Scrutinizing the little girl¡¯s cute face for a while, she couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Is she your sister? She looks so cute!¡±
This little girl was indeed really cute. She looked so delicate like a jade sculpture and her eyes were so big and bright as if they were filled with stars.
Moreover, the little girl had dimples when she smiled that looked so endearing.
¡°Thank you, Sister!¡± The little girl was courteous as she thanked her.
She was about to melt hearing the softness of her voice and how well-behaved the little girl was.
She restrained herself from petting her little head.
¡°Your sister is so well-behaved. She¡¯s totally unlike you,¡± shemented.
The little girl tilted her head to the side as she looked at her curiously. ¡°Sister, are you Brother Zeye¡¯s ssmate?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. So his name was Zeye?
She didn¡¯t expect to get his name this way.
¡°So little girl, what is your name?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao squatted down to the same level as the little girl as she asked her.
¡°My name is Qian Qian.¡± Qian Qian smiled.
Mu Xiaoxiao replied to her in the same cutesy voice, ¡°Hello, Qian Qian. What a coincidence. My name is also made up of two words with the same character. My name is¡¡±
Before she could finish speaking, a dark figure loomed over her.
Yin Shaojie grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s cor and pulled her up.
¡°I let you go and buy drinks and you wandered away again.¡± Yin Shaojie pulled her up to his side, his sharp gaze focused on Jun Zeye.
Their eyes met.
Mu Xiaoxiao went close to his ear and whispered, ¡°He¡¯s the mysterious man who defused the bomb crisis that day.¡±
¡°I know.¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s maic voice was deep and low.
The corner of his lips curled up in a light, uninhibited smirk. Taking a nce at the shooting game machine, he then asked Jun Zeye, ¡°You¡¯re ying this? How about we y together?¡±
¡°Sure,¡± Jun Zeye nodded and said unexpectedly.
They exchanged looks. It was a confrontation of a powerful pair.
Yin Shaojie walked over, and standing side by side, they yed the game.
Jun Zeye pulled Qian Qian to stand by the side.
The two looked at each other and slotted the tokens in together.
Then, the two raised their guns at the same time.
Feng Tianqi saw the situation and he came over and yammered, ¡°Hey! I want to y too!¡±
No one paid attention to him.

The game started, and the first monster appeared.
Bang!
The two killed the monster in one shot almost at the same time.
Yin Shaojie smiled faintly in a proud manner as he calmly watched the screen. Whenever a monster appeared, he pulled the trigger immediately.
Bang, bang, bang. Three consecutive shots!
However, Jun Zeye also hit his targets with every shot.
The two stood side by side in the same posture. They continued shooting without wasting a single moment.
As they reached theter part of the game, more monsters appeared inrge numbers.
Jun Zeye¡¯s hands were very steady. As he fired the shots he cleared the monsters without wasting a single bullet.
Taking a quick nce through the corner of his eye, Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyebrows twitched.
It was obvious from Zeye¡¯s posture as he was shooting that he had undergone formal training before.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t show any weakness either. He took down the monsters one by one without wasting a bullet.
Their scores were tied!
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t understand the subtleties of what was happening, but she just thought that both of them were really good. And the way they were ying the game made them look so cool!
Even Qian Qian who was standing by the side watched Jun Zeye in admiration, muttered, ¡°Brother Zeye is so cool!¡±
In contrast, Feng Tianqi could tell how good the two were. The extent of their skills shocked him.
Their uracy was amazing!
How could they be so urate!
Feng Tianqi didn¡¯t know who Jun Zeye was, but upon seeing his cool demeanor, he could tell that he wasn¡¯t a typical person. But he was even more taken aback at how Yin Shaojie had been hiding his real skills.
Feng Tianqi¡¯s eyes narrowed. Then he remembered that his brother had warned him not to provoke Yin Shaojie.
¡°Bang, bang, bang!¡±
They only had three shots left.
Game over!
The screens on both sides yed music because they had broken the top score. Then there was an explosion on screen that ended the records page.
At the counter, the male staff had been watching them. Seeing this, he was stupefied.
Not only was the record broken, they had achieved perfect scores!
The male staff stared incredulously at the two handsome guys.
The little girl was more concerned about the tickets. She rushed over to grab the tickets that were flowing out.
Seeing so many ticketsing out, she cried out, ¡°Wow! There¡¯s so many! So many!¡±
Her voice caught Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s attention and Mu Xiaoxiao watched her count the tickets.
Qian Qian looked up at Jun Zeye admiringly, her big, bright eyes sparkling. ¡°One hundred tickets! One hundred points! Brother Zeye, you¡¯re so good! At this rate we¡¯ll be able to get a thousand points!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao asked her, ¡°You want the points to get prizes?¡±
Qian Qian nodded, smiling brightly. ¡°Yeah. I want to change them for the Minion! I love the Minions!¡±
She pointed at the biggest plushie at the counter.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled. She walked over and took out the tickets from the machine Yin Shaojie used. She also had some tickets from earlier. Luckily, she hadn¡¯t throw them away.
¡°Hey, these are for you.¡±
Qian Qian looked at the tickets in her hand eagerly, but then she looked to Jun Zeye in a conflicted manner. It seemed as though she were waiting for his consent before she took them.
Jun Zeye said nothing.
Qian Qian lowered her head, her lips pursed. In her mind were two Minions fighting.

¡°It¡¯s all for you. There¡¯s a lot!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stretched out her hands, holding the tickets in front of her.
Arge stack of arcade tickets were like a treasure to a little kid.
Qian Qian thought for a moment. Looking sad, she shook her head in the end and said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Thank you, Sister, but I can¡¯t take yours.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao petted her little head and smiled sweetly, saying, ¡°I don¡¯t want this. You can have it! Otherwise, I¡¯ll just throw them in the bin. It¡¯ll be a waste.¡±
¡°You really don¡¯t want it?¡± Qian Qian¡¯srge eyes stared at her as if she were confirming it.
Jun Zeye nced at Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s sweet smile.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded andughed, ¡°Yeah. I don¡¯t want them. Help me to do something with this garbage? Please, please!¡±
Little kids couldn¡¯t guard themselves at all against such a tactic.
Just when Qian Qian looked to Jun Zeye, she heard him say tepidly, ¡°Take them, then.¡±
Qian Qian immediately smiled. ¡°Okay!¡±
She was very well-behaved. Receiving the tickets with both hands from Mu Xiaoxiao, she shouted sweetly, ¡°Thank you Sister!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao had never seen such a well-behaved child before. She really liked her and couldn¡¯t help but reach out and touch her cheek. ¡°You are really well-behaved. Your mother must have taught you well.¡±
¡°Mama¡ Ah!¡± Qian Qian suddenly remembered something. She cried out and tugged at Jun Zeye¡¯s hand, her little face worried as she said, ¡°Oh no! I forgot to tell Mama that I came here. Mama will be worried. What should I do?¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay. If she looks for you, she¡¯ll call me.¡± Jun Zeye replied mildly to cate her.
Right after saying that, his cell phone rang.
Jun Zeye answered the call in a mellow voice. ¡°Hey Sister Ya Rong. Yeah. She is very well-behaved. I¡¯ll take her back to youter. It¡¯s alright. It¡¯s fine.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him curiously.
He called Qian Qian¡¯s mother ¡®Sister¡¯?
Mu Xiaoxiao lowered her head, pulled Qian Qian into her arms, and whispered to her, ¡°He¡¯s not your Brother?¡±
Qian Qian nodded, batting her eyes quizzically. She said in her cutesy voice, ¡°He is.¡±
¡°Your biological brother?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
Qian Qian shook her head this time. ¡°No.¡±
¡°Then is he¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was very curious. She had a vague feeling that Jun Zeye wasn¡¯t one with a simple background, so she wanted to fish for some information.
But before she could finish asking, Jun Zeye gave her a look while on the phone.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled, feeling as though she had been seen through.
She stood up and went into Yin Shaojie¡¯s arms.
Yin Shaojie frowned and looked at her. ¡°What are you doing?¡±
¡°Nothing¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said submissively, hugging his arm out out of habit.
Feng Tianqi, who answered a call, came over and said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Something came up. I have to go now.¡±
He cast a nce at Jun Zeye. For someone who was so proud and thought people were beneath him, Feng Tianqi took note of this guy.
¡°Oh, go ahead then.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao instinctively replied. Then she suddenly remembered something, pointed at him, and said, ¡°No driving!¡±
Feng Tianqi rolled his eyes at her. ¡°I¡¯m sober now. I¡¯m leaving.¡±
He hurried off.
¡°Hey!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to stop him, but he quickly disappeared.

Feng Tianqi ran too quickly!
Qian Qian touched her hand and looked at her, reluctant to part. She asked, ¡°Sister, are you leaving?¡±
¡°No. Let¡¯s keep ying, okay?¡± Mu Xiaoxiaoughed.
Qian Qian pped her hands happily. ¡°Okay okay!¡±
¡
The next day.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t go to school today. She had decided to sleep in.
There was a buzzing sounding from beside her.
Her little hand felt around the bed. She felt the cell phone. Her eyes not yet open, she answered the call.
¡°Hello¡¡± she said in anguid, soft voice.
¡°Are you awake?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice came from over the phone, his subwoofer-like maic voice was simply the best sound to wake up to.
The corner of her lips turned up and her dreary eyes opened a little.
She reached out her little hands, that were like white jade, and stretched.
¡°I just woke up.¡±
Yin Shaojie chuckled. It was as if he could imagine her being like anguid kitten, and he urged her, ¡°Get up quickly and have breakfast. If you don¡¯t get up soon, it¡¯ll be lunchtime soon.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao gave a soft reply.
¡°Come on. I¡¯ll give you five minutes. The weather is very good today. Get up and bask in the sun. Got it?¡±
¡°Mm, got it¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao mumbled in an obviously perfunctory manner.
¡°After five minutes, I¡¯ll call again,¡± he said.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted, acting like a spoiled child as she said, ¡°Ten minutes, alright¡¡±
¡°Okay, ten minutes.¡±
The conversation dragged on shortly before they hung up.
Mu Xiaoxiao reached out and grabbed the pillow beside her. She buried her little face into the pillow. She could still smell Yin Shaojie¡¯s manly scent with a hint of peppermint.
It smelled so good!
The corner of her lips turned up in a warm smile. She closed her eyes and rested for a while.
Ten minutester, the cell phone rang again.
Mu Xiaoxiao grabbed the cell phone, and she answered it without even checking the caller ID.
However, she hadn¡¯t expected Yin Shaojie to make a video call.
When she opened her eyes, she saw his handsome face in front of her and it gave her a scare.
¡°Why are you scaring me?¡± she grumbled.
Seeing her messy look, Yin Shaojie was unsure whether tough or cry. ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao. Look at you. You look so funny I could die!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. She looked at the corner on her cell phone screen which showed how she looked.
¡°Whoa! Why is my hair so messy?¡± she eximed. She quickly covered the cell phone and adjusted her hair.
Yin Shaojie¡¯sughter was heard from the phone. ¡°Haven¡¯t I seen you at your worst? Hurry up and pick up the cell phone.¡±
¡°No!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, covering her hair with her hand.
¡°Then hurry up and go have breakfast.¡± Just when Yin Shaojie finished saying that, there was some other sound on his end. It was probably someone looking to talk to him.
Mu Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to grab the cell phone and turn off the video call. Afterwards she got out of bed.
The next second, the cell phone vibrated again.
Seeing that it was a video call again, she declined the call before dialing back.
¡°Just make a normal call. Why do you have to make a video call?¡± she asked.
¡°So that you can wake up. Are you more awake now?¡± Yin Shaojie was talking to her but he was also talking to someone else Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t see.
Mu Xiaoxiao could tell that he was busy, so she said in a soft tone, ¡°I¡¯m up. You can go and attend to your thing.¡±
¡°It¡¯s nothing. I want to hear your voice, can¡¯t I?¡±

Mu Xiaoxiaoughed, ¡°Are you monitoring me? Alright. Stop multitasking! I¡¯m hanging up now.¡±
¡°Alright. Call me after you¡¯re done eating.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not gonna call you!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stuck her tongue at him cheekily.
Yin Shaojie chuckled and hung up the call.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared into space. She wasn¡¯t hungry, so she sat on the bed and browsed through Weibo. However, she didn¡¯t expect to see news regarding Feng Shengyang.
This guy actually had a scandal on his hands!
Given Feng Shengyang¡¯s poprity and how he was known for being adies¡¯ man, it wasn¡¯t the first time that he had been involved in a scandal. But this scandal seemed a little more serious. He was caught on camera by paparazzi tangled up with a woman at a hotel¡¯s luxury suite.
The words ¡®tangled up¡¯ were enough to set one¡¯s imagination roaming.
Mu Xiaoxiao tut-tutted. From the silhouette in the picture, they were almost no gaps between the two bodies, and they looked like they were sharing a hot kiss.
It had to be said that both of them had good figures.
The silhouette alone seemed very erotic and roused one¡¯s passions.
Sure enough, as she swiped down to read thements, theizens¡¯ discussion had gone in an odd direction.
¡°Don¡¯t look! This is my hubby. Only I can see it!¡±
¡°My god! Young Master Feng¡¯s figure is so good! I¡¯m so envious. Why am I not the one with him!¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t expect to be caught on camera. That¡¯s right. The one with Feng Feng was me!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was amused by thements.
Girls nowadays were really too funny.
Knock knock.
Someone knocked on the door.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t hear it. She didn¡¯t even look up as she was engrossed in the gossip.
¡°Miss!¡± The maid outside shouted.
Mu Xiaoxiao finally noticed it. ¡°Come in.¡±
The maid came over with a tray and Mu Xiaoxiao caught a whiff of the food, looking up immediately.
¡°Miss, you should have your breakfast. This is what Young Master told us to prepare for you. It¡¯s your favorite food.¡± The maid smiled, and she ced the tray on the table nearby.
Mu Xiaoxiao, who was still stuck in bed, finally decided to get up. The tantalizing smell of food awakened the glutton in her.
She took a look at the breakfast on the tray. Every item was something she wanted to eat.
Actually, being a chowhound, there were lots of things that she liked to eat, but the taste varied from day to day.
This was really weird.
How did Yin Shaojie know that she wanted to eat today?
Could it be that he was the worm in her stomach?
Finally, she was awake. After freshening up, she started to eat her breakfast.
While eating, she took a few selfies and sent them to Yin Shaojie.
A bright idea suddenly came to her, and her eyes became crescents as she smiled.
She sent a WeChat message to Han Qiqing.
Shortly, Han Qiqing replied.
¡ª¡ªI¡¯m free. What are you going to shop for?
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled mischievously. Acting mysteriously, she left her to guess.
¡ª¡ªA special gift! I¡¯ll tell youter!
¡ª¡ªAlright then. See youter. After I¡¯m done with this, I¡¯ll skip ss. I¡¯ll go straight to the Yin residence to find you?
¡ª¡ªBetter not. Let¡¯s meet somewhere else.
Mu Xiaoxiao changed her clothes and went downstairs.
Standing in front of the ss window, looking out at the backyard, the weather was indeed very good. The sun was shining brightly, dispelling the chill of winter.
¡°Miss, it¡¯s cold outside. You should wear a jacket or you may catch a cold and Young Master will get angry,¡± the maid said, standing at one side. She held a jacket in her hands, prepared to put it over Xiaoxiao.

¡°There¡¯s no need. Can¡¯t you see how bright the sunlight is outside? I don¡¯t think it¡¯s cold.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao waved her hand and rejected the coat.
¡°It¡¯s warmer here because there are heaters in the house. It¡¯s a little cold outside.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao reached out to push open the door. Indeed, the breeze that blew outside was cold, but once she walked to where there was sunlight, she felt warm.
The helper stood beside her, afraid that she would catch a cold. ¡°Miss, please wear a coat. You really can¡¯t catch a cold or the Young Master will get angry,¡± she continued urging.
Not wanting to put her on the spot, Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and said, ¡°Give me the coat.¡±
The helper offered the coat to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao took the coat, but didn¡¯t put it on as she continued walking.
The helper followed her.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°Stop following me. I¡¯m only taking a walk in the yard. Don¡¯t disturb me.¡±
The helper could only answer, ¡°Understood.¡±
The helper stopped following her.
Mu Xiaoxiao strolled slowly. She stepped off the pavement after a short distance. Behind her was a stone path, with soil beside it. The grass had already withered, and she could smell its wilted scent from here.
This was what winter should smell like.
She continued wandering. She seemed to have no destination, but there also seemed to be something guiding her.
Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t paying attention to how long she had been walking, and she was now practically at the bounds of the backyard.
She saw arge tree in the distance and smiled.
¡°I wonder if it¡¯s still there¡¡± She muttered as she walked towards it briskly.
She searched under therge tree.
She pushed the tangled grass away and finally saw a mound of dirt, on which stood a board.
The board read: ¡°Dada¡¯s wood.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao bent over and pulled the weeds around it, revealing a little grave.
She squatted down and looked at it, her eyes turning red.
She reached out to touch the words, ¡°Dada¡¯s wood¡±.
It should have been ¡°Dada¡¯s grave¡± instead.
However, she didn¡¯t know how to write the word ¡°grave¡± when she was little, and thus wrote ¡°wood¡± instead.
¡°It¡¯s been a long¡¡± she said mildly.
Just then, a biting breeze blew. Because she was under the shade of a tree, the cold wind bit at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao shivered a little but she took up the coat in her hands. Putting it over the board, she covered the little grave.
¡°There, it¡¯s not cold anymore, right?¡± she said with a smile.
Squatting was making her a little tired and she sat down instinctively, muttering something as the leaves rustled above her.
After an indeterminate amount of time.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s phone started ringing in her pocket and she returned to her senses. She held up her phone.
Han Qiqing was calling.
¡°Xiaoxiao, I¡¯m done with school. Where should we meet?¡± Han Qiqing sounded like she was a little out of breath.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, ¡°Since Yin Shaojie will know if I go out, it¡¯s best if youe to the Yin residence to look for me. I¡¯ll wait for you here.¡±
She still wanted to talk to the grave.
¡°Sure! I¡¯m a little hungry. Get someone to make some food for me. I want to eat fried noodles!¡± Han Qiqing said.
¡°Okay,e over soon.¡±
After hanging up, Mu Xiaoxiao hugged both her knees to her chest and turned to look at the little grave again.
¡°I have to go now. I¡¯ll talk to you some other time.¡±
She said something else before standing up and dusting the dirt from her behind as she walked towards the house.
Han Qiqing arrived quickly and the two of them went out together.
¡°Xiaoxiao, what do you want to buy?¡± Han Qiqing asked her curiously.
Mu Xiaoxiao leaned close to her ear and said something.
Han Qiqing widened her eyes in surprise. ¡°You want to buy¡ sexy lingerie?¡±
Chapter 1300 - The Mysterious Deskmate (70)
Chapter 1300: The Mysterious Deskmate (70)
¡°No! When did I say that?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao blushed, hurriedly denying it, afraid that some helpers might hear them.
Fortunately, it seemed that no one was around.
Han Qiqing looked at her with a smirk and said suggestively, ¡°You said you want to buy something sexy. You¡¯re not going to buy something like sexy lingerie? What do you want then? S¡ Sex toys?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment. She was a little embarrassed as she said, ¡°Well¡ something like that.¡±
It was indeed the category that it would belong in.
¡°So it is then!¡± Han Qiqing chuckled mischievously. Holding her arm, she asked quietly, ¡°Why do you want to buy that? Are you thinking about doing¡ that kinda thing with Yin Shaojie?¡±
Exposed, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face flushed red.
¡°Yo~~ I was right, wasn¡¯t I?¡± Han Qiqing pointed at her as she teased her. Her expression was quite annoying.
Just then, the chauffeur drove the car over. Mu Xiaoxiao quickly shut up and nudged her to stop talking about it.
This matter was to be kept secret. If they were to let Yin Shaojie know about it, that would spoil the surprise.
¡°What are you doing? What¡¯s there to be shy about!¡± Han Qiqing said.
Mu Xiaoxiao red at her. ¡°We¡¯ll talkter!¡±
At the Yin residence, everyone in the household was Yin Shaojie¡¯s informer. How could she let slip such an important matter?
Realizing that, Han Qiqing tapped her mouth to say that she would stop talking about it.
The chauffeur got out of the car, went around, and opened the door for them.
After the two got in the car, the chauffeur asked them where they would like to go.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing looked at each other.
¡°Where?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
Han Qiqing thought for a moment,¡±Se¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao covered her mouth before she could finish speaking.
Mu Xiaoxiao red at her intensely.
Han Qiqing smiled apologetically and made an OK gesture.
¡°Start driving first and head for Old Hui Mall.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao gave him a location where she often went to shop.
Then she took out her cell phone and quickly sent a text message.
In the next second, Han Qiqing¡¯s cell phone made a notification sound for an iing message.
Mu Xiaoxiao pointed to her cell phone.
Han Qiqing was unsure whether tough or cry. They were sitting together but she had to send a WeChat message?
However, she went along with Mu Xiaoxiao.
The two chatted on WeChat and discussed where they could buy what Xiaoxiao wanted.
Han Qiqing asked, ¡°Do you want sexy underwear or a sexy pajamas? They should be avable in typical female lingerie shops, right?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want those!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was at a loss. She didn¡¯t know how to describe what she wanted.
¡°So what do you want to buy? Sexy skirt?¡±
¡°It¡¯s¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao scratched her face in frustration. She hesitated before spilling her intentions.
Han Qiqing stared nkly, turned her head, and looked at her with an open mouth. An egg could have been stuffed into her mouth.
¡°Xiaoxiao, you want to¡¡± Han Qiqing gasped as she pointed at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao pped her hand away and told her not to blurt it out. She said to her on WeChat, ¡°Don¡¯t say it! Don¡¯t let the chauffeur find out because he¡¯ll tell Yin Shaojie about it.¡±
Han Qiqing smiled and typed a message.
¡°It seems that you are serious. What a big surprise~~ Yin Shaojie will be happy to death upon receiving it!¡±
Yin Shaojie was going to get what he dreamed of getting.
Although Han Qiqing had urged them to do it previously, she hadn¡¯t expected Mu Xiaoxiao to take such an approach.
Chapter 1301 - The Mysterious Deskmate (71)
Chapter 1301: The Mysterious Deskmate (71)
Whoa, now that she thought about it, it was really quite romantic!
Mu Xiaoxiao motioned her to stopughing and to quickly help her think.
Han Qiqing thought for a moment. ¡°Let¡¯s use Baidu to see where we can buy it. If we can¡¯t find it, we¡¯ll just buy it on Taobao! They must have it there.¡±
¡°No, if I buy it online, and they send it to my home, won¡¯t Yin Shaojie find out about it?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao dismissed the suggestion.
¡°That¡¯s true. Given how much Yin Shaojie cares about your affairs, it¡¯d be really hard for him not to find out!¡± After Han Qiqing sent the message, she rubbed her chin while thinking.
Mu Xiaoxiao nudged her, her eyes bing crescents as she smiled. ¡°Why don¡¯t you buy it for me?¡±
Han Qiqing stared nkly. ¡°You want me to buy it online for you? And have it sent to my house? That doesn¡¯t seem like a good idea, does it?¡±
Sheughed bitterly. If that kind of thing was delivered to her home, what if someone from her household saw it?
So she thought that she¡¯d better not offer to help her.
That¡¯d be too awkward!
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed. ¡°What should I do then?¡±
Han Qiqing said, ¡°Let¡¯s check Baidu first. We may still find a ce that sells it.¡±
Thus, the two searched Baidu. It wasn¡¯t easy to find a suitable store.
However, their perseverance paid off when Han Qiqing finally found it.
¡°This shop seems pretty good! Look. There are pictures here.¡± Han Qiqing showed her the pictures.
Mu Xiaoxiao took a look. The girl was wearing some kind of Christmas costume. It was quite skimpy and revealed some skin. It looked sexy but was still in good taste.
Moreover, the girl¡¯s posture as she sat on the carpet, with her hands in front of her legs and her eyes innocently staring at the camera, looked too alluring!
Even Mu Xiaoxiao was enthralled.
She swallowed her saliva. ¡°This¡ seems pretty good¡¡±
As she scrolled up, the other pictures disyed showed models wearing different clothes, but one thing inmon between them was that they all had sex appeal and they would totally be able to steal men¡¯s attention.
Han Qiqing chuckled mischievously, pointing to one of the ckce lingerie. ¡°This design is not bad. Your skin is very fair. It suits you, and¡¡±
She deliberately turned her eyes to Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s chest.
This design entuated the breasts. Guys would go wild for it.
She could imagine that with Xiaoxiao¡¯s awesome figure, she could totally charm any man if she wore lingerie. If Yin Shaojie saw her, he¡¯d definitely turn into a hungry wolf!
Han Qiqing secretly smiled with pursed lips.
This time, the two of them would definitely take it to thest step!
Seeing the ckce lingerie, Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly as she remembered what Yin Shaojie liked¡
She hesitated before saying, ¡°But¡ I want to package myself into a gift¡¡±
This was her intention!
Moreover, she had already worn something like this in the past. Wouldn¡¯t it be a rehash if she wore it again?
Although she was very bashful, she still hoped that she could surprise Yin Shaojie and make his eyes light up.
Thus, she had to choose something that he hadn¡¯t experienced yet.
¡°If that¡¯s the case¡ Let me see. There are many other designs.¡± Using the cell phone, Han Qiqing browsed through the web pages. Then she pointed to another cute and sexy design. She showed it to her and said, ¡°This one! The rabbit and cat design is pretty good too. Guys dig the contrast between the cute ears at the top and the sexy bottom!¡±
Chapter 1302 - The Mysterious Deskmate (72)
Chapter 1302: The Mysterious Deskmate (72)

Upon seeing that the rabbit design was too skimpy, she was bashful. ¡°Not like this¡¡±
She¡¯d be too embarrassed to wear this!
She¡¯d better look for something a little less skimpy, something that revealed just enough to tantalize.
Of course, it should make her look like a present as well.
¡°Ah! I like this! This is definitely a guy¡¯s favorite.¡± Han Qiqing excitedly typed out the message, and she showed Mu Xiaoxiao the picture on the cell phone.
It was something that was simr to wearing a boyfriend¡¯s white shirt. The fresh look was sexy. Moreover, the translucent clothing had a youthful look that oozed style.
No man could possibly not dig this design!
Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or cry, ¡°Enough of this, okay? Listen carefully to me! The kind that I want is something that makes me look like a present.¡±
Han Qiqing was even more excited than she was.
Han Qiqing sent an emoji of a smiling face with a hand covering the mouth. Then she typed the message, ¡°Alright. Let¡¯s go to this store then. There may be other designs there. We¡¯ll go check out the store.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded.
But in order not to let the chauffeur know where they were going, they went to the Old Hui Mall first before taking a taxi to their destination.
The store looked very chic from the outside. It didn¡¯t look like the type of store which sold these things.
What was more interesting was that the name of this shop was ¡®Never thought this would be that kind of store!¡¯
Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing liked it upon first nce. They could imagine that the owner being a very interesting person.
¡°Come on. Let¡¯s go in and have a look.¡± Han Qiqing hooked her arm around Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s.
The two pushed the door and entered the store.
Unexpectedly, what they saw upon entering was a drawing room with a distinctive style, not at all like a sex shop.
At the coffee table sat a long-haired girl, typing behind an Appleputer.
The woman picked up a coffee cup, took a sip, and noticed them.
¡°Are you here to buy clothes?¡± The woman smiled. She was wearing pretty lipstick. The first impression that she gave was one of a ssy, beautiful woman that lights up one¡¯s eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing looked at each other.
¡°Um¡ Hello, we found this store online¡¡±
The woman chuckled, looking as though she understood clearly. ¡°You¡¯re here to buy sex clothing, right? Come in.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was embarrassed. She didn¡¯t expect the owner to say ¡°sex clothing¡± so openly as though it were just ordinary clothing.
The two followed behind her.
The beautiful owner led them inside.
Mu Xiaoxiao noticed that there were a lot of fabrics for sale and there was a big design table in the center.
¡°Eh, Madam, did you design all those clothes?¡± Xiaoxiao asked.
The beautiful owner smiled and nodded. ¡°Yeah. Come here, you two. Sit down and tell me what you are looking for.¡±
Han Qiqing quickly rified, ¡°I don¡¯t have a boyfriend, so I¡¯m not buying any. She¡¯s the one who¡¯s buying!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed and didn¡¯t say anything.
The beautiful owner smiled and said, ¡°So what? You can wear sexy clothing even if you don¡¯t have a boyfriend. Girls must have one some clothing that will brings out the sexy side. How else can you realize how beautiful you are?¡±
Chapter 1303 - The Mysterious Deskmate (73)
Chapter 1303: The Mysterious Deskmate (73)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Admittedly, her words startled and moved Qiqing.
The beautiful owner said, ¡°You¡¯d better believe it. At first, many girlse here with their friends but they alwayse back alone, lured by the beauty of the lingerie.¡±
What she said clearly seemed like an example of ¡®every potter praises his own pot.¡¯ But when the beautiful owner said it, it sounded so convincing.
Mu Xiaoxiao gently nudged Han Qiqing with her elbow and whispered, ¡°Qiqing, you buy some lingerie too!¡±
Han Qiqing hesitated for a moment. She looked like she had been convinced, but she still bashfully said, ¡°Well¡ I¡¯ll take a look first.¡±
The beautiful owner patted the L-shaped sofa beside her, motioning for them to sit down there.
She smiled at Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°You want to wear it for your boyfriend? Do you have a specific style that you¡¯re looking for? You can also leave it to me to design something for you.¡±
The way the owner said it made Mu Xiaoxiao feel empowered, as if she were directing a project all to achieve the goal of tantalizing Yin Shaojie.
Her face was slightly red, and she said softly, ¡°I¡ I want something that makes me look¡ like a present.¡±
The beautiful owner nodded. She smiled and said, ¡°I understand. You want to be a present to be given to your boyfriend, right? Very thoughtful! You must really love him.¡±
It was evident when she still decided to do this for him despite her personality.
If she didn¡¯t love Yin Shaojie that much, she would never do such a thing for him.
¡°Let me see.¡± The beautiful owner examined her face, her long fingers stroked Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s cheek. She couldn¡¯t help eximing, ¡°You look so beautiful. A natural beauty like you will go well with any style. But you seem somewhat conservative. I assume a sexy style isn¡¯t what you want?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°Not too sexy, just a little bit is fine..¡±
¡°You could try something different. It could trigger something in you.¡± The beautiful owner batted her eyes at her as she suggested.
Han Qiqing nodded and said, ¡°Yeah! Xiaoxiao, I think Madam is right! You can try a few different styles.¡±
¡°Well¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiaoughed bitterly. They weren¡¯t just buying casual clothes!
She said, ¡°Qiqing, you do it too!¡±
She absolutely had to drag Qiqing into it as well.
¡°Me? I don¡¯t need it, right? I don¡¯t have a boyfriend¡¡± Han Qiqing quickly declined.
¡°Madam already said that it¡¯s no problem if you don¡¯t have a boyfriend. Besides, lingerie wille in handy when you get a boyfriend!¡±
Get a boyfriend? And it mighte in handy?
Hearing that, Han Qiqing stared nkly for a moment. She couldn¡¯t help but think of Lu Yichen and her face slowly grew red.
Would he like this kind of thing?
Guys typically like this kind of thing, right?
If that was the case, which style would he like?
Han Qiqing was carried away in her thoughts.

Seeing Han Qiqing staring into space, Mu Xiaoxiao waved her hands in front of her. ¡°Qiqing? So? Let¡¯s do it together. I¡¯ll treat you, alright?¡±
Han Qiqing came back to her senses. There was a suspicious red tinge on her face. She coughed, looking as though she didn¡¯t know what to do and said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Alright. We¡¯ll do it together.¡±
¡°That¡¯s great! We¡¯ll both do it!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was so happy that she almost threw herself at Han Qiqing.
The beautiful owner looked at them with a smile.
¡°Besides the different designs, there are also many kinds of fabrics to choose from such asce, light muslin, silk¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing weren¡¯t familiar with these. They didn¡¯t expect the process to be soplicated. The owner even exined to them how each fabric contributed to the feel of the product and they listened attentively.
As the two were focused on listening, the beautiful owner suddenly stopped.
She looked at the door.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing wanted to continue listening. Perplexed, they looked at her wondering why she stopped talking.
¡°Wait, there are guestsing,¡± the beautiful owner said to them with a smile.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. A guest?
Han Qiqing also looked to the door curiously.
After a few seconds, someone really came through the door.
¡°Madam~ I brought a friend to visit.¡± A girl said in a fawning manner. Three figures came in behind her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled.
She clearly hadn¡¯t heard any footsteps.
However, what surprised her even more was the girl who spoke out.
Han Qiqing also recognized who the girl was and she gave Mu Xiaoxiao a look. ¡°Why are we bumping into her here?¡±
What bad luck!
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled.
Wang Shiyu saw Mu Xiaoxiao and she stared for a moment. Her face showed an ufortable expression, her lips curled cruelly.
Without batting an eyelid, she turned her eyes away quickly as if she didn¡¯t know Mu Xiaoxiao.
Of course, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t go up and talk to her.
So the two acted as though they didn¡¯t know each other.
The beautiful owner excused herself from Mu Xiaoxiao politely. She stood up and walked gracefully over, smiled, and said, ¡°Wee.¡±
Wang Shiyu introduced the owner to a girl beside her who was dressed prettily and had a proud expression on her face.
¡°Madam, the clothes you made are too gorgeous. My friend said that she liked them so I brought her here. But she is in quite a hurry. Can you help us?¡±
The clothes in the store were all tailor-made, so they had to get in the queue.
Han Qiqingughed mirthlessly. ¡°Is she trying to cut the queue? We came first.¡±
Wang Shiyu looked over at them and then she pretended to recognize Mu Xiaoxiao, saying, ¡°Oh, it¡¯s you two. You¡¯re here to buy lingerie to please Young Master Jie?¡±
Her tone when she said thest sentence was unpleasant as though she were implying that Mu Xiaoxiao relied on lingerie in order to win over Yin Shaojie.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t look too happy.
But what she cared about was not what Wang Shiyu said but that Wang Shiyu had caught her in the middle of her secret preparation for her surprise. Mu Xiaoxiao could tell that this meant bad news for her ns.
Chapter 1305 - The Mysterious Deskmate (75)
Chapter 1305: The Mysterious Deskmate (75)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Shuyao, I¡¯ll introduce you. This is-¡±
Wang Shiyu looked at the haughty girl beside her. Just when Wang Shiyu was about to speak, she interrupted.
¡°I¡¯m not interested in knowing her. Don¡¯t waste my time!¡± Zhang Shuyao said mean-spiritedly with a look of disdain.
Upon seeing how elegant and beautiful Mu Xiaoxiao looked, Zhang Shuyao was peeved.
Looking closer, she noticed that Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s skin looked especially good. It was as soft and white as baby¡¯s skin. Any girl would be envious to death over her skin.
Zhang Shuyao snorted and the way she looked at Mu Xiaoxiao became even more unfriendly.
Seeing Zhang Shuyao scoff at Mu Xiaoxiao, Wang Shiyu was secretly pleased so she deliberately kept quiet about who Mu Xiaoxiao was.
She said ingratiatingly to Zhang Shuyao, ¡°Alright, missy. My bad, okay?¡±
Her hands folded together proudly, Zhang Shuyao walked over to the beautiful owner, saying, ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll pay double the price if you serve me first. I want the clothes by tomorrow.¡±
¡°Why do you get to go first!¡± Han Qiqing smacked the table and got up. She gave the girl a cold sneer, looked at Zhang Shuyao, and said, ¡°You didn¡¯t hear me clearly, did you? I¡¯ll say that again! We! Came! First!¡±
Wanting to cut the queue? She must be daydreaming!
Walking on high heels of about seven to eight centimeters, Zhang Shuyao walked up to Han Qiqing. Using her height as an advantage, she looked down at Han Qiqing who was half a head shorter than her, and as though she was asking a beggar to leave, she said, ¡°I¡¯ll pay for yours too if you stopining. How about that?¡±
It was written on her arrogant expression ¡®You don¡¯t have to thank me. This little bit of money is nothing to me.¡¯
Han Qiqing broke out inughter and looked at her incredulously.
Was this woman using money to send her away?
Was she kidding?
She was the daughter of the Han Family of the Big Four Families and someone actually wanted to use money to send her away?
Han Qiqing thought that this was the best joke she had ever heard.
Hearing herugh, Zhang Shuyao thought that Qiqing was happy, so she went back to the beautiful owner and said, ¡°Alright then. Madam, I have already selected the design, so you can take my measurements. Just have it done quickly. I want it tomorrow.¡±
¡°Who the f*ck agreed with you!¡± Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t help but swear.
Zhang Shuyao turned back and stared at her. ¡°What? You still want more? Aren¡¯t you a bit too greedy?¡±
¡°Who the heck wants anything from you!¡± Han Qiqing got up from the sofa, walked up to her, and stared at her.
She pointed at her, and said every word emphatically, ¡°I¡¯m telling you. Don¡¯t even think about jumping the queue!¡±
Zhang Shuyao folded her arms at her chest, exchanged stares and said contemptuously. ¡°What exactly do you want? Name your terms.¡±
¡°Are you an idiot?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao scoffed and walked over to them. With an aura like that of a queen, she said, ¡°She told you ¡®Don¡¯t even think about jumping the queue!¡¯ Didn¡¯t you hear that? Is there a problem with your hearing?¡±
Han Qiqing sniggered. ¡°I think she¡¯s probably mental!¡±
¡°Maybe.¡±
¡°I think it¡¯s very likely. Otherwise, how could she not understand what I said?¡±
The two acted in concert.
Zhang Shuyao was so mad that her face darkened and she almost spat fire. ¡°You dare to say that I¡¯m mental?!¡±

¡°Yeah, we said you are mental. Whatcha gonna do?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao gave her a haughty nce as though she were not bothered at all by Zhanf Shuyao¡¯s rage.
¡°You!¡± Zhang Shuyao red at Xiaoxiao.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t showing weakness at all as she roasted Zhang Shuyao.
If Wang Shiyu didn¡¯te to her aide now, Zhang Shuyao would probablyin.
Wang Shiyu tugged at Zhang Shuyao and she said catingly, ¡°Shuyao, let¡¯s not argue with them. Getting the lingerie is more important. Aren¡¯t you nning to wear it for your boyfriend? ¡±
Zhang Shuyao brushed her hand away angrily, her chest rising and falling vigorously. ¡°I can¡¯t take this lying down! These two women dared to say that I am mental. I must teach them a lesson! I¡¯ll make them pay!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought she was ridiculous. To have gotten so angry just from a littlement, couldn¡¯t she take a joke?
¡°If you want to jump the queue, don¡¯t even think about it. You don¡¯t need to stay here anymore.¡±
She couldn¡¯t be bothered by this person. She didn¡¯t want to waste any of her time looking at Wang Shiyu either.
¡°Madam, we were here first. Firste, first served, right?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said to the beautiful owner.
The beautiful owner smiled faintly as though she were watching a show.
¡°Yes.¡± The beautiful owner said.
Hearing that, Han Qiqing was satisfied, and she said to Zhang Shuyao delightedly, ¡°Please go outside and wait. We¡¯ll continue our discussion with the owner. Oh, it may take a long time. If you really can¡¯t wait, you should find somewhere else.¡±
The beautiful owner looked gentle as she said to Zhang Shuyao, ¡°Okay, how about this? I have some stock. If you are really in a hurry, you can see if there are any you like.¡±
Zhang Shuyao looked hesitant.
Wang Shiyu eyes rolled as a thought came to her. Her eyes filled with malicious intent. Then she leaned close to Zhang Shuyao¡¯s ear and said something.
Zhang Shuyao, who was still hesitating, made a serious face and said to the beautiful owner, ¡°No! I never wear old clothes! I want a newly made one!¡±
Wang Shiyu chuckled and cast a nce at Mu Xiaoxiao. Then she turned to look at the beautiful owner and said. ¡°Madam, if they¡¯re not doing it anymore, that means we¡¯re not jumping the queue, right?¡±
Han Qiqing snorted with an expression on her face that said, ¡®Are you dreaming?¡¯
¡°Why wouldn¡¯t we do it?¡±
Tsk. Who do you think you are?
No one could order Han Qiqing around!
Noticing the malicious sparkle in Wang Shiyu¡¯s eyes, she furrowed her brows.
She put up her guard secretly.
Sure enough, the next second, Wang Shiyu turned to Xiaoxiao and smiled. She brandished her phone, saying, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, you don¡¯t want people to know that you came to this store, right? What if¡ I leak news of you being here on the Inte or to your school¡¯s forum? What do you think will happen?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face instantly turned icy.
She didn¡¯t care if other people found out about it but if Yin Shaojie were to know about it, wouldn¡¯t her preparation go to waste?
¡°You!¡± Han Qiqing was furious and wanted to beat her up.
Seeing Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s expression, Wang Shiyu knew that her threat worked.
Chapter 1307 - The Mysterious Deskmate (77)
Chapter 1307: The Mysterious Deskmate (77)

Zhang Shuyao, on the other hand, was pleased that she had regained her upper hand.
She enjoyed Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s wretched expression.
¡°Shiyu, I¡¯m starting to think that it doesn¡¯t matter whether we jump the queue or not. We¡¯ll do as you said just now. I think this way is much more interesting!¡± sheughed wickedly.
¡°You dare!¡± Han Qiqing red at Wang Shiyu angrily.
She knew what Xiaoxiao was worried about. How could they ruin the surprise that Xiaoxiao so carefully wanted to prepare for Yin Shaojie
These damned b*tches!
Han Qiqing rushed up to snatch Wang Shiyu¡¯s cell phone.
¡°Don¡¯te over! I¡¯m warning you! Otherwise, I¡¯ll immediately take a video of Mu Xiaoxiao and upload it online. Don¡¯t think that I won¡¯t do it!¡± Wang Shiyu pointed at Han Qiqing and warned her.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was darkened, and with a sharp gaze, she stared at Wang Shiyu wordlessly.
Han Qiqing was still butting heads with Wang Shiyu, gritting her teeth angrily as she threatened her. ¡°If you dare take a video of us, I¡¯ll sue you! I¡¯ll sue you until yound in jail! I¡¯ll make you stay in jail for the rest of your life!¡± ¡±
Coming from one of the Big Four Families, it¡¯d be easy for her to screw someone over royally. But she would never do such a thing.
However, if someone were to force her hand, she¡¯d have no choice!
Upon meeting Han Qiqing¡¯s re, Wang Shiyu was a little intimidated.
Qiqing didn¡¯t look like she was joking.
Her tone softened a little bit as she said, ¡°We just want to do it quicker! Why must you keep going against us? Can¡¯t you just make it convenient for us?¡±
¡°You want to do it quicker. Don¡¯t we also? Why should we make it convenient for you?¡± Han Qiqing retorted.
Xiaoxiao¡¯s birthday wasing. They were in a hurry too!
As the two sides were confronting each other, the beautiful owner went to the sofa, sat down, and leisurely poured herself a cup of coffee. Folding her slender, beautiful legs, she leaned back onto the sofa as she continued to watch them.
Typically, when customers quarreled in the store, the shop owner tried to reconcile the different parties.
But this owner was different. It was obvious that she didn¡¯t want to intervene and was happy to let them resolve it among themselves.
¡°Do you girls want to drink anything?¡± The beautiful owner noticed Xiaoxiao looking, and she smiled at her as she held up the coffee cup in her hand.
Looking at how carefree she looked, Mu Xiaoxiao took a moment to calm herself.
She must not be flustered. She must calm down and think of a solution.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes became solemn.
She looked up at Wang Shiyu and said, ¡°Wang Shiyu, you are right. It¡¯s not a big deal for us to make it convenient for you. We¡¯ll let you go first.¡±
¡°Xiaoxiao!¡± Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t believe that she would give in like that. How could she give in to someone like Wang Shiyu!
Zhang Shuyao smiled smugly as though she had won the confrontation.
Wang Shiyu was a little startled. She thought that Mu Xiaoxiao wouldl continue to oppose them.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Wang Shiyu sharply, ¡°However¡¡±
Chapter 1308 - The Mysterious Deskmate (78)
Chapter 1308: The Mysterious Deskmate (78)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°H-however what?¡± Hearing her drag out thest syble, Wang Shiyu¡¯s heart beat rapidly.
Mu Xiaoxiao smirked slightly, and with icy eyes, she cast a sidelong nce at her and said, ¡°Are you sure you¡¯ll be able to bear the consequences?¡±
Wang Shiyu was startled, suddenly realizing what she meant.
Could she afford to make Yin Shaojie angry?
Obviously not!
How could she?
Given Yin Shaojie¡¯s status, he could crush her with one finger.
Wang Shiyu remembered hearing that Yin Shaojie was bad-tempered and that those who dared to anger him would not have a pleasant ending.
Wasn¡¯t An Zhixin a ring example?
She couldn¡¯t help but tremble, her eyes timid as she looked at Mu Xiaoxiao.
Seeing that she wasn¡¯t talking, Mu Xiaoxiao knew what was on her mind. She stared at Wang Shiyu proudly, waiting for her response.
Hearing that, Han Qiqing knew what she was up to. With her hand on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s shoulder, sheughed.
¡°You¡¯re Wang Shiyu, right? Honestly, no one has dared to challenge our Great Master Yin¡¯s temper. You don¡¯t want to be the first one to try him, do you?¡±
Acting as if she had suddenly realized something, she smiled at Wang Shiyu and said, ¡°Oh, I forgot to tell you how well the Great Master Yin treats Xiaoxiao. He cradles Xiaoxiao in her hand, afraid that she¡¯ll fall. He takes her in her mouth, afraid that she¡¯ll melt. If you must upload the video on the Inte, we won¡¯t stop you. At worst, the surprise that Xiaoxiao has prepared for someone will be ruined. That¡¯s no big deal. But for you¡ tsk tsk. If Yin Shaojie gets angry, even I¡¯ll be scared of him!¡±
Wang Shiyu¡¯s face was pale and she took a step back in trepidation.
She bumped into Zhang Shuyao. Zhang Shuyao looked at her unhappily. ¡°Shiyu, what are you doing? They¡¯re only scaring you. What¡¯s there to be scared of? Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll support you!¡±
The corner of Wang Shiyu¡¯s mouth twitched.
Miss Zhang, though youe from a rich family, how can youpare to the Big Four Families?
Seeing her like this, Zhang Shuyao thought that she was really useless. She snorted and pushed Wang Shiyu away.
¡°You said just now that you¡¯ll let me go first. Don¡¯t go back on your word.¡± Her arms akimbo, Zhang Shuyao looked at Mu Xiaoxiao.
Stunned, Wang Shiyu quickly grabbed Shuyao¡¯s arm as she shouted, ¡°Shuyao! Wait¡¡±
Zhang Shuyao impatiently brushed her hand off. ¡°Wait my ass! I don¡¯t have time to wait. Later, I have to get the limited edition Gi bag imported from Mn, then go to my father¡¯s jewelry shop to pick up some jewelry. I¡¯m so busy. I don¡¯t want to waste time on people who don¡¯t matter!¡±
Wang Shiyu felt irksome hearing her brag.
Being smug just because she was rich?
Wang Shiyu sneered inwardly. The look in her eyes changed. She stopped holding back Zhang Shuyao and let her seek her own death.
Zhang Shuyao¡¯s bragging was deliberately meant for Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing to hear.
She walked up to Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°On ount that you have some sense in you, I have a few used name-brand bags for you. If you want them, I can give them to you. All my bags are from international luxury brands. I don¡¯t think you¡¯ve ever seen them before, have you? Take one with you on a date with your boyfriend and you¡¯ll know what it means to be the center of attention.¡±
Chapter 1309 - The Mysterious Deskmate (79)
Chapter 1309: The Mysterious Deskmate (79)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. This person was getting on her nerves.
¡°I don¡¯t have any interest in bags. You can keep them.¡±
Zhang Shuyao tutted because she thought that Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t see a good deal when she saw one.
¡°If you don¡¯t want them, fine. Each of my bags can be sold for thousands! I¡¯m cutting you a good deal and you still don¡¯t want it.¡±
Hearing that, Wang Shiyu felt bitter. She has tried to hint to Zhang Shuyao earlier that she wanted one of the bags but Shuyao hadn¡¯t picked up on it. What was the purpose of following this rich missy, then?
Hearing what Zhang Shuyao said sent Han Qiqing in aughing fit.
Why would Xiaoxiao need her used bags?
This was too funny!
¡°You can save your garbage for yourself. It¡¯s not like we¡¯re garbage bins.¡± Han Qiqingughed contemptuously. She grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°Let¡¯s ignore them and go discuss the design with the owner.¡±
Startled, Zhang Shuyao shouted. ¡°Hey! Didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯ll let me go first? How can you not keep your word?¡±
Han Qiqing rolled her eyes and scoffed. ¡°Which ear of yours heard that? Go back home and keep dreaming! The door is over there. We won¡¯t be seeing you out. Goodbye!¡±
¡°You!¡± Zhang Shuyao was so angry that her neck was swollen.
Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t be bothered with her. She turned to the beautiful owner and said. ¡°Madam, we don¡¯t like to have people disturbing us when we are deciding on the designs, can you-¡±
¡°You dare chase me out?¡± Zhang Shuyao¡¯s eyes looked like they were about to pop out.
She pointed at Han Qiqing and Mu Xiaoxiao, saying, ¡°Do you know who I am? My family owns the Zhang Dafu jewelry stores all over City A!¡±
¡°Oh, so your family opened them,¡± Han Qiqing said.
Zhang Shuyao proudly tilted up her chin and said, ¡°Yes! My family opened them! It¡¯s still early for you to regret your actions. I¡¯ll be magnanimous¡¡±
Han Qiqing interrupted her, pointing to herself as she said, ¡°Then, do you know who I am?¡±
¡°Who are you?¡± Zhang Shuyao was disdainful.
¡°I¡¯m¡¡± Han Qiqing was still hesitating whether she should say it but at that moment, Zhang Shuyao¡¯s cell phone rang and interrupted her.
Zhang Shuyao was going to reject the call, but upon seeing the caller ID, she immediately answered it.
¡°Hello¡ Really? The bag is here? Okay, I¡¯ll go to the store right away. We agreed that the bag is for me. Hurry up and hide it. Don¡¯t let people see it. Alright, I¡¯ming now!¡±
Zhang Shuyao looked up at Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing, looking conflicted.
¡°I¡¯m going to get my name-brand bag now but I¡¯m not finished yet. I¡¯ll return after I get the bag.¡±
Han Qiqing suddenlyughed. Giving Shuyao a weird look, she said in a strange ent, ¡°What Gi bag?¡±
Chapter 1310 - The Mysterious Deskmate (80)
Chapter 1310: The Mysterious Deskmate (80)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Yo! Branded bags? I¡¯ve never seen them before! I really want to go over and see! How about letting us follow you there?¡±
Upon hearing that, Shuyao became more arrogant. She looked Han Qiqing from head to toe and said, ¡°Alright,e with me then.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao tugged at Han Qiqing¡¯s hand, not understanding what she was trying to aplish.
Han Qiqing smiled and gave her a look.
Mu Xiaoxiao picked up on what Qiqing was nning and nodded.
¡°Lady Boss, we¡¯ll be going first then,¡± she said to the beautiful owner politely.
The beautiful owner smiled and nodded. ¡°Sure, I was about to do some admin work anyway. Take care.¡±
Thus, a line of people exited the store.
Outside, City A¡¯s luxury brand street was nearby. The roads were wide and clean, the shopping centers on either side looked brand new, and the stores were tall.
Zhang Shuyao walked in front. With her arms crossed as she walked in heels, she looked like a rich young missy.
Wang Shiyu chose not to say anything as she followed behind her.
Inparison, Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing looked much more at ease. When they walked past Prada and MCM, they even pointed to the bags inside and talked about what they liked.
Zhang Shuyao looked back towards them and said sarcastically, ¡°You guys are really good at putting up an act. Do you know how much one of those bags costs? Can you even afford them?¡±
Han Qiqing didn¡¯t answer her or even look at her but she smirked to herself.
Couldn¡¯t afford them?
You¡¯ll understand what it means to be pped in the faceter!
Finally, they arrived at the Gi store.
Once they entered, the salesperson came up to them and said, ¡°Miss Zhang, you¡¯re here! This way please.¡±
Because Han Qiqing and Mu Xiaoxiao were outside looking at other things, they hadn¡¯t entered.
Wang Shiyu felt as though something was going to happen so she stood at the door, waiting for Han Qiqing and Mu Xiaoxiao to enter.
Mu Xiaoxiao entered first. A salesperson came up to her and gave her a professional smile. ¡°Welco¡ª¡±
Before she could finish her words, she saw Han Qiqing and was stunned for a moment.
¡°Miss Han! You¡¯re here? This way please! Our store has recently gotten some new bags in our collection. Please look around and see what you like.¡±
Zhang Shuyao, who was already inside the store, heard the greeting, but didn¡¯t hear what had been said.
She turned back to look, and saw how familiar the salespeople were towards Han Qiqing and Mu Xiaoxiao.
Her lips turned downwards as she told the store owner, ¡°I don¡¯t know those people, so you don¡¯t have to treat them warmly.¡±
¡°Understoo¡ª¡± The salesperson understood what she meant and was about to nod and agree before she looked over. Upon seeing Han Qiqing, her eyes widened.
¡°That¡¯s¡ Miss Han! Miss Zhang, don¡¯t you know her?¡±
Zhang Shuyao frowned and looked at her uprehendingly. ¡°What? Do you know her? She¡¯s an heiress too?¡±
The salesperson was stunned for a moment, not expecting her to be unfamiliar with Han Qiqing or at least her status.
¡°She¡¯s actually¡¡±
Just then, the store manager got wind of the news and walked out.
Chapter 1311 - The Mysterious Deskmate (81)

¡°Manager Xu.¡± Zhang Shuyao was about to greet her, but was blown away when Manager Xu seemed not to notice her as she walked past her towards Han Qiqing.
She then saw the capable and experienced manager smile at Han Qiqing obsequiously and say, ¡°Miss Han, it¡¯s been awhile since I Iast saw you. Wee, Miss. I¡¯m honored to be able to serve you.¡±
Upon seeing this, Zhang Shuyao¡¯s eyes widened in shock.
W-What kind of situation was this¡
Manager Xu was one of the people responsible for managing Gi goods in China. Many rich wives and heiresses had to curry favor with her in order to be the first one to purchase popr handbags.
Gi had recently pushed out a new collection by a beautiful designer who had recently won an international designpetition. The products in the collection were very sought after.
The bag that Zhang Shuyao wanted to buy was this designer¡¯stest work. There were only a thousand limited pieces in the world and there were countless people who were eager to buy it no matter what it took.
Zhang Shuyao only had the chance to buy it because she had spent a lot of effort and given Manager Xu a lot of money beforehand.
Han Qiqing walked over, an arm around Mu Xiaoxiao. Manager Xu looked like an attendant as she followed behind them, and she even ordered someone to prepare drinks and dessert for them.
¡°Miss Han, will mousse cake be alright?¡± Manager Xu asked.
Han Qiqing looked at Mu Xiaoxiao beside her and said, ¡°Is there strawberry cake?¡±
¡°There is!¡± Manager Xu didn¡¯t even think before replying immediately.
Even if they didn¡¯t have any, she would get someone to buy one.
Zhang Shuyao still couldn¡¯t believe what she was seeing. Her lips twitched and she wondered if she were dreaming.
Was the Manager Xu before her really the one that she knew?
Had she been swapped out for someone else?
¡°Manager Xu, my bag¡¡± Zhang Shuyao suppressed her anger and reminded the manager. She wanted to buy the bag first for there was a mysterious feeling striking her.
The feeling¡ felt like unease.
Unease?
Was that a joke? Since when had she, Zhang Shuyao, felt uneasy?
However, Manager Xu seemed to not hear her. She didn¡¯t even look at her, but kept her eyes on Han Qiqing and smiled.
Before long, a strawberry cake and some drinks arrived.
Manager Xu led Han Qiqing to sit down and even assisted them personally.
Zhang Shuyao and Wang Shiyu were standing to one side, looking as though they had beenpletely forgotten.
Just then, Han Qiqing opened her mouth, cocked an eyebrow, and said, ¡°Manager, I¡¯d like to know. What bag is Zhang Shuyao buying? Is it the one that¡¯s been flown over from Mn?¡±
Manager Xu smiled as she introduced the origin of the bag before saying, ¡°Is Miss Han interested in looking at it? The bag is designed for younger girls and is suitable to be used by your demographic.¡±
Han Qiqing red at Zhang Shuyao and asked on purpose, ¡°Oh? How many do you have? I don¡¯t like to carry the same things as other people.¡±
¡°Currently, there is only one in the entire country,¡± Manager Xu answered.
Zhang Shuyao¡¯s eyes widened when she heard this. She shouted, ¡°I was first!¡±
¡°Have you paid?¡± Han Qiqing smiled as she asked.
Zhang Shuyao¡¯s face darkened. ¡°Don¡¯t you know the term ¡®firste, first served¡¯?¡±
¡°Firste, first served?¡± This time, it was Mu Xiaoxiao whoughed. ¡°Aren¡¯t you forgetting something?¡±
Chapter 1312 - The Mysterious Deskmate (82)
Chapter 1312: The Mysterious Deskmate (82)

Han Qiqingughed as well and nodded in agreement to Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s words.
She red at Zhang Shuyao and said mockingly, ¡°I think it¡¯s funny too. This is the funniest thing I¡¯ve heard today.¡±
Even if Zhang Shuyao were stupid, there was no way she couldn¡¯t understand what Han Qiqing was implying.
Since Shuyao was young, she had always been ttered by other people. Being the butt of a joke was a foreign concept to her.
Han Qiqing smiled as she said to Manager Xu, ¡°Bring the bag out. I want to take a look. I¡¯m interested in it.¡±
¡°Sure, I¡¯ll go get it immediately.¡± Manager Xu was delighted upon hearing this and went to get it.
Beside them, Zhang Shuyao stamped her feet in anger and red at Han Qiqing. She pointed a manicured finger at Han Qiqing and said angrily, ¡°You¡¯re going against me on purpose, aren¡¯t you? That bag is mine! I¡¯ve already set my eyes on it so don¡¯t you dare snatch it away from me!¡±
She was going to a banquet with her boyfriend and was nning to use the bag to wow the entire crowd.
If she didn¡¯t have the bag, she wouldn¡¯t be able to make all the girls there envious, no matter how pretty her dress was.
Thus, she was h*ll-bent on getting it!
Han Qiqing spread her arms out and grinned as she said, ¡°I¡¯m not snatching anything from you. I¡¯m just shopping on this street and looking at bags. If I like something, I¡¯m buying it.¡±
¡°You!¡± What was this called if not snatching?
Zhang Shuyao trembled with anger and stared at Han Qiqing, murder in her eyes.
She tugged at Wang Shiyu beside her forcefully and said, ¡°Help me argue back! Are you dead? Why are you just standing there!¡±
Wang Shiyuughed awkwardly. ¡°Um¡¡±
Wang Shiyu was usually very eloquent and glib while scolding other people.
However, she was amoner and being in such a high end store entranced her.
¡°I don¡¯t care! This bag is mine. Shiyu, hurry up and think of something for me!¡± Zhang Shuyao¡¯s unreasonable personality emerged. Usually, the people around her amodated her but now, in the face of a formidable rival and without help, she suddenly felt confused and helpless.
Wang Shiyu swept a nce at Han Qiqing. Her eyes narrowed.
She smirked darkly before leaning over to Zhang Shuyao¡¯s ear and whispered, ¡°How about using your wealth to quash her?¡±
Zhang Shuyao frowned and said, ¡°Use my wealth to quash her? But¡ I don¡¯t really have that much cash right now!¡±
Wang Shiyu staggered back and almost fell.
She couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes at Zhang Shuyao and mouthed ¡®idiot¡¯ at her. She then exined, ¡°I meant let her bid with you. Whoever bids more money will get the bag. So quash her with money! Let her know how powerful you are!¡±
Upon hearing that, Zhang Shuyao¡¯s eyes lit up and she finally smiled. ¡°Oh, right! How can she have more money than me?¡±
Wang Shiyu continued to agree obsequiously. ¡°That¡¯s right. What are you afraid of! Your family deals in jewels. Who else has more money than you?¡±
Upon hearing that, Zhang Shuyao feltforted.

She smiled, pleased. ¡°Even if I don¡¯t have enough money on my card, my dad has a branch in this shopping center. I only have to make a call before someone sends money over!¡±
Just then, Manager Xu carried a silk-covered salver over.
It was Zhang Shuyao¡¯s first time seeing the bag in person and it¡¯s texture and color captured her heart immediately.
She was a hundred percent sure that if she were to bring this bag to the banquet, she would definitely be the center of attention and the subject of discussion and envy.
However, Manager Xu brushed past her and brought the salver before Han Qiqing and Mu Xiaoxiao. Bowing, she smiled and said, ¡°Miss Han, this is the bag. Please take a look.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked over while eating her cake. ¡°Wow, it¡¯s pretty! Qiqing, this bag suits you well.¡±
¡°Really? Isn¡¯t it a little too shy? There are so many jewels on it.¡± Han Qiqing stood up, picked up the bag from the tray and carried it on her shoulder in view of Zhang Shuyao, who was staring intently at the bag.
Manager Xu gestured to a salesperson to bring a full-length mirror over.
¡°Miss Han, you look great! The bag really suits you!¡± By her side, Manager Xu ttered her and the salespeopleplimented her.
Zhang Shuyao stomped her foot in anger again and thought to herself angrily, ¡°D*mmit! Why does she deserve such treatment?¡±
The service was way too thorough!
She frequented branded stores a lot but had never seen such service.
After all, a brand like Gi was famous for their luxury goods. They didn¡¯t have to treat their customers obsequiously, unless they were people of exceptional status.
Who was this girl?
Zhang Shuyao was furious. She was an arrogant person who thought that no one around her was superior to her, using her wealth to justify her behavior.
Everyone had always been envious of her.
She had always been the one to receive special treatment.
However, today was the day she understood what it meant to be ignored!
Han Qiqing looked in the mirror and nodded. ¡°It looks good. Xiaoxiao, do you want to try it? I think it¡¯ll suit you more.¡±
¡°Sure.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao quite liked the bag as well, so she was willing to put her fork down and stand up.
Han Qiqing offered her the bag.
Mu Xiaoxiao carried it over her shoulder and looked into the mirror.
¡°It looks great!¡± Han Qiqing eximed immediately. ¡°Xiaoxiao, it indeed looks better on you than me! It really looks great!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed. ¡°It looks quite good. Let me think¡ It¡¯s been a year since I bought a bag.¡±
¡°So that means your bag is old and you should get a new one! Just buy this then!¡± Han Qiqing encouraged her eagerly.
Upon hearing that Mu Xiaoxiao was carrying a year old bag, Zhang Shuyao tutted sneeringly.
If she were an heiress, she would have changed bags frequently.
At the very least, she should have a new bag every two months.
Zhang Shuyao was a fan of bags and she could be said to be a bag fanatic.
Sometimes, she carried a new bag for one or two days before buying a new one.
She wouldn¡¯t be caught dead carrying a year old bag!
Mu Xiaoxiao heard Zhang Shuyao¡¯s ridiculing sneer.

However, she ignored itpletely.
She looked at Han Qiqing and said uprehendingly, ¡°Don¡¯t you like it? There¡¯s only one here. Do you really want to give it to me? It¡¯s okay, you can buy it. I have enough bags.¡±
Even though thest time she bought a bag was a year ago, the people around her gifted her bags asionally. For example, whenever William bought a bag for Annie, he would get one for her too.¡±
Her dad went even more overboard. Whenever he saw girls carrying pretty bags, he would get someone to buy them for her.
Actually, she had so many bags that she could open her own shop.
In her house in America, she had a room that was specially designated for bags. It was full of beautiful bags that pleased the eyes with all sorts of brands.
However, she was a creature of habit and felt toozy to change. So long as she was carrying something she liked, she would keep carrying it until it broke or she saw a new one that she liked more.
Mu Xiaoxiao took the bag off and handed it to Han Qiqing.
Han Qiqing chuckled and leaned her shoulder against hers. She said, ¡°I do like it, but I never said that I¡¯d let you have it. I¡¯ll get this and you can get one too. We¡¯ll be bag twins!¡±
Beside them, Manager Xu said apologetically, ¡°Miss Han, I¡¯m sorry, but there¡¯s only one of this bag right now. Getting another flown in from Mn will take some time.¡±
This bag was currently a very popr item in high society. Be it rich wives, heiresses, high-rankingdy executives, or female superstars, this bag was something they were doing whatever it took to get.
Han Qiqing didn¡¯t need her reminder. She waved a hand flippantly and said, ¡°I know. Someone is going to help her buy her bag. By the way, does this bag onlye in one color? Are there any others options?¡±
¡°It¡¯s also avable in ck,¡± Manager Xu answered. Her capable mind was a little confused by what she said earlier.
Someone was helping her buy it? What did that mean?
She wasn¡¯t trying to to pour cold water on things.
If this particr bag couldn¡¯t be bought from their store, it would be impossible to find at other stores.
Han Qiqing shook her head. ¡°ck isn¡¯t okay. Xiaoxiao, you should buy one that¡¯s the same color as mine.¡±
ck was more suitable for mature girls and young girls like them should buy things in lighter colors because it looked more youthful!
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. ¡°Where do I get one?¡±
Han Qiqing elbowed her and said, ¡°Do you really need me to tell you? If you make a call to a particr someone, he will give anything to you, even if you want a star from the sky, much less a bag!¡±
¡°No, isn¡¯t that too troublesome?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. She thought about how popr this item was. Buying one would take a lot of effort and she didn¡¯t want Yin Shaojie to go through so much trouble just for a bag.
Han Qiqing rolled her eyes at her and said helplessly, ¡°Baby, are you underestimating that guy? How is it troublesome! He just has to make a single call.¡±
Han Qiqing sighed and shook her head at her before pointing to her phone and saying, ¡°Call him right now!¡±

She thought for a while before adding, ¡°Oh yea, just take a picture and send it to his WeChat. He¡¯ll settle it for you.¡±
Beside them, Manager Xu was a little stunned but was even more puzzled. Who was this person?
¡°Hey!¡± A voice sounded abruptly.
Han Qiqing¡¯s ears perked up and she looked behind her, daggers in her gaze. ¡°Why are you still here? I¡¯m getting this bag, so you don¡¯t have to think about it anymore. Go choose another bag.¡±
¡°I already said! This bag is mine!¡± Zhang Shuyao gritted her teeth and pointed aggressively at the bag in Qiqing¡¯s hands.
Han Qiqingughed and held up the bag. She said sarcastically, ¡°This bag is yours? Call out to it then. If it responds, I¡¯ll return it to you.¡±
Her words made the salespeople around them cover their mouths inughter.
Zhang Shuyao¡¯s expression darkened even further. She took a step forward and said fiercely, ¡°What right do you have to possess it? I was the one who got the store to order it, so it should be mine! However, I¡¯m a fair person. Let¡¯s see who can bid more money on it. The bag will belong to the highest bidder. How about that? Do you darepete with me?¡±
If this were an ordinary store, the manager would be overjoyed if they heard that its customers were going to have a bidding war. However, Manager Xu became really scared, afraid that Zhang Shuyao would infuriate Han Qiqing.
¡°Miss Zhang, I have to rify that this bag wasn¡¯t ordered for you.¡±
No one was allowed to pre-order a limited-edition bag such as this and it could only be sold to the first person who wanted to buy it.
She only told Zhang Shuyao about the bag¡¯s existence because the rich missy had paid so that she coulde right when the bag was delivered.
Zhang Shuyao observed how Manager Xu was defending Han Qiqing and red daggers at her.
¡°Manager Xu, is she you rtive?¡± she sneered, crossing her arms. ¡°If not, why are you stopping us?¡±
Manager Xu didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. ¡°What kind of joke are you making! How can I be Miss Han¡¯s rtive?¡±
If she were a rtive of one of the Hans of the Big Four Families, why would she need this job?
¡°So, you want to bid with me?¡± Han Qiqing looked as if she had heard something funny and looked at Zhang Shuyao.
Zhang Shuyao lifted her chin and said, ¡°That¡¯s right! Let¡¯s bid and see who cane up with the most money. The highest bidder gets the bag!¡±
¡°Sure, that sounds interesting.¡± Han Qiqing smiled and nodded.
However, she turned around and walked back to the sofa and ced the bag by Mu Xiaoxiao, as though the bag were already hers.
¡°Name your starting price,¡± she said politely.
Manager Xu looked a little awkward. ¡°Miss Han¡¡±
Han Qiqing asked, ¡°How much is the bag?¡±
¡°It¡¯s¡ ten thousand dors,¡± Manager Xu answered. Noticing that Qiqing didn¡¯t look angry, she left out a sigh of relief.
Mu Xiaoxiao had already sat down and was eating her cake in preparation for a good showdown.
Han Qiqing was really generous and motioned to Zhang Shuyao, saying, ¡°You can make the first bid.¡±
Right now, her gestures and expressions looked befitting that of a wealthy heiress.
In contrast, Zhang Shuyao looked a little shabby and not at all like an heiress.
Zhang Shuyao thought for a while before calling out, ¡°Eleven thousand!¡±
Han Qiqing had just taken a sip of her drink and she almost choked when she heard the bid. She shot a nce at Xiaoxiao and felt likeughing.
¡°This auction isn¡¯t going tost very long, is it?¡±
Chapter 1316 - The Mysterious Deskmate (86)
Chapter 1316: The Mysterious Deskmate (86)

Han Qiqing thought for a while before saying to Zhang Shuyao carelessly, ¡°Thirty thousand!¡±
Zhang Shuyao looked stunned, and wondered if she had heard wrong. In a shocked tone, she asked, ¡°What did you say?¡±
Thirty thousand?
How could she call out such a high price on her first bid?
Zhang Shuyao thought about the limit on her card. It was only at twenty thousand.
She had originally wanted to increase the bidding price by small increments.
Unexpectedly, Han Qiqing called out thirty thousand just like that! Even if she used all of the money on her card, she didn¡¯t have that much money!
Zhang Shuyao¡¯s face looked green and purple.
Han Qiqing lowered her head to eat a piece of cake, waiting for Zhang Shuyao to continue bidding so that she could beat the bid again. However she didn¡¯t hear any sound from Shuyao.
She felt puzzled and looked up at Zhang Shuyao.
Zhang Shuyao was ring at her while gritting her teeth, as though she wanted to hit Qiqing.
Han Qiqing was stunned. ¡°Could it be that¡ you don¡¯t have enough money?¡±
She was going to win after just thirty thousand?
Han Qiqing¡¯s words caused the veins in Zhang Shuyao¡¯s temple to pulse violently. She felt as though she was being looked down upon!
¡°Who said that I don¡¯t have money! Do you know what my family does? We deal inrge quantities of jewels! Any of our jewels cost at least thirty thousand! How can I not have money? What kind of joke are you making?¡±
Han Qiqing spread her arms out,ughing. She looked like she was waiting for Shuyao to make her move and said, ¡°Sure, continue bidding then.¡±
¡°T-Thirty¡ five thousand!¡± Zhang Shuyao gritted her teeth and said.
Han Qiqing said carelessly, ¡°I¡¯ll bid for a million then.¡±
She looked bored, as though she wanted the bidding to end quickly.
¡°O-One million?¡± Zhang Shuyao inhaled sharply.
Was she mad?
How could she say ¡®one million¡¯ as though it were only a hundred dors!
Manager Xu and the salespeople looked at her with pity, but no one told Zhang Shuyao¡¯s Qiqing¡¯s identity.
If Zhang Shuyao knew Han Qiqing¡¯s identity, she wouldn¡¯t bring shame on herself.
Han Qiqing cocked a brow and red at herzily. ¡°Are you going to continue bidding? If not, the bag¡¯s mine,¡± she said.
¡°I¡¡± Zhang Shuyao, who had previously been snapping viciously, was now speechless.
A million¡ How was she going to bid against that!
¡°I know¡¡± Enlightenment came over Zhang Shuyao. SHe pointed fiercely at Han Qiqing and said, ¡°You¡¯re trying to get me to fall into a trap, right? You¡¯re bidding so highly on purpose, so that you can trick me into bidding higher than you. You¡¯ll then give up at a suitable opportunity so that I¡¯ll pay an absurd price for this bag. You¡¯re too evil!¡±
¡°Your imagination¡¯s too rich.¡± Han Qiqing was speechless.
Zhang Shuyao was about to say something when her phone rang.
She thought it was her boyfriend and was about to air her grievances to him, when she saw the caller ID. She smiled and took the call hurriedly.
¡°Papa! Where are you now? Are you at the outlet here? That¡¯s just nice. Hurry up here, your darling daughter is being bullied! Hurry up ande over¡ Yeah, it¡¯s the floor they sell bags. I¡¯m at Gi. Hurry up, I¡¯m waiting for you!¡±
After hanging up, Zhang Shuyao looked at Han Qiqingcently and said, ¡°Just wait and see. You want to see who¡¯s wealthier? You¡¯ll be crushed by my wealth!¡±
However, after these words were spoken, Manager Xu and the salespeople around them giggled.
Was she really trying topare her wealth against the Hans?
Chapter 1317 - The Mysterious Deskmate (87)
Chapter 1317: The Mysterious Deskmate (87)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Was she trying to crush the Hans with money?
What a ridiculous joke!
Zhang Shuyao was the perfect example of an arrogant heiress.
Han Qiqing smirked lightly. ¡°I¡¯ll look forward to it then!¡±
She turned to look at Mu Xiaoxiao and leaned close to her. In a whisper, she said, ¡°Have you sent the photo of the bag to Yin Shaojie? Hurry up and get him to buy it for you. We¡¯ll be able to carry the same bag tomorrow.¡±
She imagined how it would look when they entered school carrying the same bag.
Haha, they would be the talk of the town!
Mu Xiaoxiao asked, ¡°Should I really get him to buy it for me?¡±
¡°Of course! Hurry up and give me the phone. I¡¯ll take the picture for you.¡± Han Qiqing was afraid that Xiaoxiao would regret her decision, and thus snatched her phone away from her, taking a photo of the bag.
She then entered the WeChat app instinctively, wanting to send the photo directly to Yin Shaojie.
However, she chanced upon the messages that Lu Yichen sent to Xiaoxiao. There were several unread messages at the top of her message list.
Thetest message read¡
Han Qiqing came back to her senses and realized that she shouldn¡¯t look through Xiaoxiao¡¯s phone. She closed her eyes suddenly and gave her head a shake, trying to get what she saw out of her head.
She tried her best to hide the disappointment in her eyes, pretending that she didn¡¯t see anything at all. She returned the phone to the phone screen and gave it back to Xiaoxiao.
¡°I¡¯ve taken the picture. Send it to him,¡± she urged, turning away.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt helpless. She didn¡¯t want to disappoint her and thus sent the photo to Yin Shaojie.
Unexpectedly, she received a phone call from Yin Shaojie only a few minutester.
¡°Where are you and Qiqing shopping?¡± There was a smile in his voice.
Upon hearing his voice, all the unhappiness in her melted away. She smiled as she said, ¡°We¡¯re at Heaven and Earth Mall. How¡¯s work?¡±
¡°Heaven and Earth Mall?¡± Yin Shaojie heard that name and couldn¡¯t help but let out augh.
¡°What?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled.
Yin Shaojie coughed. His voice held a note of cynicism as he said, ¡°Xiaoxiao, I can¡¯t believe how virtuous you are. You haven¡¯t even married me and you¡¯re already doing inspections.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. ¡°Inspections? What do you mean?¡±
Yin Shaojieughed and revealed, ¡°Don¡¯t you know? Heaven and Earth Mall belongs to the Yins! Silly girl!¡±
In other words, she was the mistress of Heaven and Earth Mall!
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened in shock. ¡°What¡ did you say?¡±
¡°Tell me where you are. I¡¯ll get someone to go over and you can take whatever you want. Treat it like your home,¡± said Yin Shaojie.
¡°No, why would you want to get someone toe over? I¡¯m content to just shop with Qiqing so you don¡¯t have to get someone to serve me.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao rejected him immediately. Having someone follow her was the worst.
¡°You can just treat him as an attendant who¡¯s carrying your bags around, dummy. Hurry up and tell me where you are,¡± Yin Shaojie urged.
If Yin Shaojie were to make a single call, the manager of Heaven and Earth Mall would definitely run down to serve Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°No, I won¡¯t tell you! Let me warn you: Don¡¯t get anyone toe here to attend to me. It¡¯s over the top¡ I don¡¯t like it. I just want to shop with Qiqing carefreely. Don¡¯t spoil it!¡±
Chapter 1318 - The Mysterious Deskmate (88)
Chapter 1318: The Mysterious Deskmate (88)

Mu Xiaoxiao was afraid that he would really do it so she warned him.
Her tone and attitude were really serious!
Yin Shaojie coughed once. He thought about how the Mus liked to be discreet and gave up.
¡°Alright. By the way, I¡¯ve already gotten someone to buy the bag that you wanted. The designer said that there¡¯s a pink version and since I thought that you might like pink better, I requested the pink one.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. ¡°Pink? But¡ the manager here said there are only two colors: ck and white. Why is there pink?¡±
Han Qiqing was by her side, eating, and her ears perked up.
¡°Pink? Could it be¡ a VIP edition?¡±
Her eyes lit up immediately and she looked at Xiaoxiao enviously.
Han Qiqing reached out to grab Xiaoxiao¡¯s arm and pressed her face against it. Blinking, she looked at her expectantly and said, ¡°Xiaoxiao¡ I want the pink one too! Me too!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help butugh and say to Yin Shaojie, ¡°Qiqing says she wants one too¡¡±
¡°Cheh, she¡¯s so troublesome!¡± Yin Shaojie sounded annoyed.
However, he knew that he had to give Qiqing a bag too, since Xiaoxiao and Qiqing were close friends.
Han Qiqing¡¯s face was really close to the phone and thus she heard Great Master Yin¡¯s annoyance. Pouting, she said, ¡°It isn¡¯t troublesome if you¡¯re buying it for Xiaoxiao, but it is if its for me? What a world of difference!¡±
However, Xiaoxiao was Great Master Yin¡¯s treasured person.
Han Qiqing knew this of course.
Aiyoh! She was really envious of Mu Xiaoxiao!
How was she able to get such a caring boyfriend?
Mu Xiaoxiao told Yin Shaojie, ¡°Forget it if it¡¯s troublesome.¡±
He was probably busy and she didn¡¯t want to trouble him further.
¡°It¡¯s not troublesome at all! It¡¯s just two bags. I¡¯ll just make a call to arrange it. Alright, continue to shop. I¡¯ll go over to pick you up once I¡¯m done.¡±
Yin Shaojie spoke a couple of sentences to her before hanging up.
Han Qiqing looked at Xiaoxiao. With a teasing smile on her face, she raised a hand and looped an arm around her shoulders.
¡°Xiaoxiao, you¡¯ve never been so¡ understanding towards Yin Shaojie before, hm? You were always yelling at him. Aish~ As they say, a woman in love~¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao retorted, ¡°Since when am I like that! Was I never understanding in the past? Did I behave unreasonably with him in the past? Humph, am I that kind of person?¡±
Han Qiqing nodded her head seriously on purpose. ¡°Congrattions, you¡¯ve finally realized.¡±
¡°You!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao red at her huffily.
Han Qiqing hugged her arm and startedughing out loud. ¡°Okay, I was just teasing you! Our Xiaoxiao has always been understanding! But¡¡±
¡°I dare you to continue!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao red at her.
Han Qiqing smiled. ¡°Or what? I must say it again! Since you were little, you¡¯ve always been understanding and considerate towards other people. However, you have always been very stubborn towards Yin Shaojie. Anyway, you don¡¯t lose your temper at us often, but you always do so towards Yin Shaojie, even when you were little.¡±
She couldn¡¯t help but feel envious as she spoke.
Frankly speaking, Xiaoxiao knew in her heart that Yin Shaojie treated her very well. She knew that he pampered her and amodated her in every way and she thus showed him a different side of her.
Chapter 1319 - The Mysterious Deskmate (89)
Chapter 1319: The Mysterious Deskmate (89)

Having such a person around her that let her be stubborn and throw a tantrum whenever she wanted while knowing that he would never leave her was the most blessed thing in the world.
Mu Xiaoxiao heard her thoughts and smiled wordlessly.
Meanwhile, Zhang Shuyao had walked out, and was now leading a man with arge belly into the store.
¡°Papa, this is the bag! This bitch wants to snatch it away from me! I don¡¯t care if there¡¯s only one of this bag in China. I must buy it!¡±
¡°Okay, okay, okay, it¡¯s just a bag. Can¡¯t you just pay a few times more than the stated price? We don¡¯t have a lot in our house, except for money!¡± Papa Zhang¡¯s arrogant tone and attitude was just like Zhang Shuyao¡¯s.
Zhang Shuyao was beyond delighted. She cast a sideways nce at Han Qiqing and Mu Xiaoxiao while dragging her father over.
¡°That¡¯s them!¡±
¡°You two ignorant¡¡± Papa Zhang readied his stance and prepared to lecture the two girls.
However, once she saw Han Qiqing¡¯s face, he frozepletely.
¡°M-Miss Han¡¡±
Han Qiqing looked over and looked at him holding Zhang Shuyao¡¯s hand. In a puzzled tone, she asked, ¡°You are?¡±
Papa Zhang smiled and said, ¡°I am Uncle Zhang. Aiyoh, we met before at Elder Qi¡¯s birthday banquet. But its natural for a person who has met so many people like you to forget things, so it doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t remember me.¡±
Uncle Zhang? The corners of Han Qiqing¡¯s lips turned up. Was it a good thing to be called an acquaintance by him?
¡°Papa!¡± Zhang Shuyao didn¡¯t look good when she saw her father¡¯s attitude. She tugged at him anxiously, her face contorted in fury.
Papa Zhang red at her and started scolding her immediately. ¡°What kind of girl are you! How could you fight over a bag with Miss Han? Is this how I raised you? You have to be humble to make more friends!¡±
¡°What are you talking about? Papa, you normally say-¡± Zhang Shuyao wanted to retort angrily.
¡°Shut up!¡± Papa Zhang was afraid that she was going to say something ugly and shouted immediately to interrupt her.
Zhang Shuyao felt very aggrieved. Upon thinking about how this was all because of Han Qiqing, she red at Qiqing even more furiously.
¡°Who is this little bitch! Why is everyone treating her so¡¡±
Zhang Shuyao¡¯s face was pped to the side. Her eyes widened out of shock and tears slid down her cheeks.
¡°Papa¡¡± She looked at him in disbelief.
¡°Hurry up and apologize to Miss Han! Do you know who she is? She¡¯s Miss Han from the Big Four Families! Did you hear that!¡± Papa Zhang was furious and and revealed Han Qiqing¡¯s identity, afraid that his daughter would continue to offend Han Qiqing.
Zhang Shuyao looked as though she had been struck by lightning. Her face was terribly dark and she looked at Han Qiqing in shock.
¡°She¡ She¡¯s from the Han¡¯s of the Big Four Families¡¡±
She was one of the heiresses from one of the big four families!
One could only imagine the number of people in the upper echelons of society who wanted their daughters to make friends with Miss Han and their sons to woo Miss Han.
¡°You¡¯re Uncle Zhang, right?¡± Han Qiqing smiled politely.
¡°As expected, Miss Han has an umon bearing. Our Shuyao doesn¡¯t even have one-tenth of your bearing, and you must be a magnanimous person not to argue with my insensible daughter.¡± Papa Zhang smiled obsequiously, obviously trying to get into Han Qiqing¡¯s good books.

This was Zhang Shuyao¡¯s first time ever since she was born that she had been this belittled by her father, and she looked awful.
Han Qiqing gave her a nce. There was a hint of a smile on her lips as she looked at Papa Zhang and said generously, ¡°How about this? Since Miss Zhang is so fond of the bag, I won¡¯t snatch it away from her. I¡¯ll let her have it.¡±
¡°You don¡¯t have to let her have it. She has many bags already,¡± Papa Zhang rejected hastily, deeply afraid of offending Miss Han.
Zhang Shuyao was extremely confused, and looked at Han Qiqing with aplicated expression.
Her father¡¯s words made her lose all face.
Earlier, she had said that she would use money to crush Han Qiqing. Ironically, she was literally pped in the face and it was even her dad who did it.
She felt extremely aggrieved!
Zhang Shuyao was not happy at all. She kept staring at the bag, anger pooling in her eyes.
Papa Zhang tutted and tugged at her elbow angrily. ¡°Yaoyao! Hurry up and apologize to Miss Han. Why are you so insensible?¡±
¡°I¡¡± Zhang Shuyao was huffing with anger.
I don¡¯t want to apologize to her!
¡°Really, this child¡¡± Papa Zhang shook his head helplessly. He was so angry that his chest ached.
He had spent so much effort for so many years trying to be acquainted with the Big Four Families so that he could squeeze himself into higher society.
However, all of his effort had been ruined by his own daughter!
He hurriedly turned to Han Qiqing and smiled apologetically. ¡°Miss Han¡¡±
Han Qiqing interrupted him and said affectedly, ¡°The more I look at this bag, the more I don¡¯t seem to like it anymore. Since Miss Zhang likes it, I¡¯m very willing to help her out. Uncle Zhang, you don¡¯t have to reject me, alright?¡±
¡°Hm¡ okay then. Miss Han, you¡¯re really considerate and understanding.¡± Papa Zhang saw that she really didn¡¯t want the bag anymore.
However, Han Qiqing then smiled. There was a sinister sparkle in her beaming eyes as she said, ¡°However, we were bidding for that bag earlier, so¡ ording to the rules, Miss Zhang has to call out a price. The bag will be hers afterwards.¡±
¡°Of course, of course!¡± Papa Zhang didn¡¯t even think before answering. After he came to his senses, he was stunned for a while before asking, ¡°What price did you state earlier?¡±
Han Qiqing smirked as she gave an innocent expression and said, ¡°It¡¯s not much. It¡¯s only a million dors.¡±
¡°A-A million dors¡¡± Papa Zhang almost spat blood. He red at the bag. This bag was a million dors? Wasn¡¯t this daylight robbery?
He had been in the trading circles for many years, and he instantly understood what Han Qiqing was trying to do.
Wasn¡¯t she deliberately trying to trick them?
However, even though he knew that she was trying to trick him, he couldn¡¯t reject her.
¡°Then, I¡¯ll bid o-one million and one hundred thousand dors!¡± Papa Zhang said with difficulty.
He wanted to say one million and ten thousand dors, but it would have been too embarrassing if he did so.
Shuyao wasn¡¯t stupid and understood that they had been tricked.
Even if she did really want the bag, no one would spend one million and a hundred thousand dors to buy a bag.
¡°Pa! I don¡¯t want the bag anymore! Let her have it!¡±
Zhang Shuyao red daggers at Han Qiqing, but upon remembering her identity, her gaze softened.
Chapter 1321 - The Mysterious Deskmate (91)

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Papa Zhang shouted at her sharply, ¡°What nonsense are you talking about! Miss Han has been so generous as to let you have the bag. Hurry up and thank Miss Han!¡±
Even though paying more than a million dors for a bag was a little expensive, they were lucky that they had the money to afford it.
If he could make his daughter acquainted with Miss Han through this, spending one million and one hundred thousand dors was more than worth it!
After all, there were countless people who sent gifts to the Hans every year and not all of them were epted.
Zhang Shuyao paused and understood the meaningful look in Papa Zhang¡¯s eyes.
Since childhood she had heard her Papa mention the Big Four Families and how formidable their influence was. If they could get themselves acquainted with one of the Big Four Families, their family would have the chance to enter higher society.
That was always what she had wanted as well!
Zhang Shuyao thought about the special treatment Han Qiqing had received earlier and she felt simultaneously jealous and envious.
If¡ she stepped into higher society, would she receive such treatment too?
Even though Zhang Shuyao was very unwilling to apologize, she still endured it.
She looked at Han Qiqing and smiled stiffly as she said, ¡°Miss Han¡ thanks for letting me have the bag.¡±
Papa Zhang looked at her sensible disy and nodded satisfactorily.
¡°Don¡¯t stand on ceremony.¡± Han Qiqing smiled and gestured towards Manager Xu.
Manager Xu was stunned for a while before she walked over and picked up the bag. She then walked over to Zhang Shuyao.
¡°President Zhang, are you paying by card?¡± Manager Xu smiled as she asked him.
¡°Yes,¡± Papa Zhang gritted his teeth as he answered.
He was actually very angry but he had to maintain his smile.
Zhang Shuyao watched as her father paid for the bag. She was carrying the bag now but she didn¡¯t feel happy at all.
She turned around and red daggers at Wang Shiyu who was hiding in a corner.
It was all this dumb girl¡¯s fault!
Oh yeah!
When they had met in the other shop earlier, Wang Shiyu looked like she knew these two girls!
Zhang Shuyao rushed up to Wang Shiyu in anger. Pointing at her nose, she scolded, ¡°You b*tch! You knew that she was Miss Han, right? Why didn¡¯t you tell me about it? Wang Shiyu, you were trying to screw me over on purpose!¡±
¡°I-I didn¡¯t¡ I didn¡¯t know, I really didn¡¯t know!¡± Wang Shiyu waved her hands guiltily and stepped back, afraid.
Zhang Shuyao sneered. ¡°You didn¡¯t know? Do you think I¡¯m stupid? Wang Shiyu, how dare you harm me! You¡¯re dead!¡±
¡°I really didn¡¯t know! Shuyao, you have to believe me! You¡¯re my best friend! Why would I harm you? I really didn¡¯t!¡± Wang Shiyu was terrified because she knew what Zhang Shuyao¡¯s temper was like. She was going to be miserable!
¡°Humph, my best friend? You were best friends with that An Zhixin girl and how are you treating her right now? Do you think I don¡¯t know about it?¡± Zhang Shuyao looked at her condescendingly.
¡°I¡¡± Wang Shiyu was trembling from being red by her. Her heart was beating wildly and her face was pale.
Papa Zhang said, ¡°Alright, Yaoyao. I¡¯ve already told you not to hang around these despicable peasants. If you want to make friends, make friends with people like Miss Han.¡±
Han Qiqing chuckled and leaned over to Mu Xiaoxiao. In a whisper, she said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to make friends with her. I¡¯ll be polluted by her.¡±

After watching the show, Mu Xiaoxiao tugged at her shirt and whispered to her, ¡°Let¡¯s go back to the store. I have a feeling that Yin Shaojie mighte here. We don¡¯t want to bump into him.¡±
¡°It¡¯ll be good if hees over.¡± Hearing that, Han Qiqing was about to cheer.
She couldn¡¯t help but imagine just what Mr. Zhang and Zhang Shuyao would do if Yin Shaojie appeared and they found out that Xiaoxiao was his precious fianc¨¦e.
Unfortunately, Xiaoxiao¡¯s identity couldn¡¯t be divulged, otherwise, it would have been even more shocking!
Mu Xiaoxiao shot her a look. ¡°Are you serious? If hees here, how are we gonna go back to that store?¡±
She didn¡¯t want dys. It¡¯d be better if they got the clothing done earlier.
Han Qiqing thought she was right. She nodded and said, ¡°Alright then, let¡¯s go back to that store.¡±
Now that they had dealt with Zhang Shuyao, they could get the lingerie done, right?
However, as the two got up and were about to leave, Mr. Zhang stopped them.
¡°Wait!¡±
¡°What?¡± Han Qiqing looked at him guardedly. He didn¡¯t realize that she pulled a fast one on them, did he?
Mr. Zhang wore an ingratiating smile, rubbing his hands nervously as he said, ¡°Miss Han, I¡¯m really sorry for the misunderstanding with Yaoyao. Actually, Yaoyao is very guileless. She was just incited by some people.¡±
Han Qiqing raised her hand to stop him. She had couldn¡¯t stand listening to his lies. How could he even have the cheek to say that?
¡°Uncle Zhang, can you get to the point?¡±
Did he really want to see Yin Shaojie?
Given how protective Yin Shaojie was of Xiaoxiao, she couldn¡¯t guarantee that the Zhang Family would survive.
¡°I think an apology is not enough to show my sincerity. We have a new stock of jewelry, diamonds and gems, that came in. Miss Han, would you like to have one? Your friend can also pick one.¡± Uncle Zhang said.
Zhang Shuyao¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. She wondered if the person before her was really the miserly father that she knew.
Apparently, her father was really crazy about getting acquainted with the Han family.
Wang Shiyu, who should have left already, looked at how the story yed out.
Zhang¡¯s jewelry store¡
She had been there with Zhang Shuyao several times. It was a store that specifically targeted the upper ss, so the jewelry there was expensive. The cheapest item cost at least tens of thousands of dors.
And he was just going to let Han Qiqing pick one? Wouldn¡¯t that be too extravagant!
Wang Shiyu was so jealous!
Seeing her expression, Zhang Shuyao knew immediately what she was thinking. Her jealousy was almost oozing out from her.
She sneered and said to Wang Shiyu, ¡°Youe too. I have something to tell you.¡±
Actually, she just wanted Wang Shiyu to follow them and watch how Qiqing provoked her.
Wang Shiyu gritted her teeth and didn¡¯t dare to say no.
At Mr. Zhang¡¯s insistence, Han Qiqing and Mu Xiaoxiao followed him to the jewelry store.
¡°Ladies, pleasee over here.¡± Mr. Zhang walked in front and led them forward cordially.
Mu Xiaoxiao took Han Qiqing¡¯s hand, her brows furrowed slightly as she leaned close to her ear, and said, ¡°Are you really going to ept their gifts? It¡¯s not appropriate, is it?¡±

¡°I don¡¯t want it! I have lots of jewelry at home.¡± Han Qiqing was feeling a little gloomy. But they were too inexperienced and couldn¡¯t turn down Mr. Zhang, the wily old fox.
¡°What should we do?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
Han Qiqing thought for a moment. Then she suddenly smiled with pursed lips, her eyes gleaming mischievously.
¡°Hehe,ter, let¡¯s¡ give him a scare!¡±
¡°Scare him?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t understand what she meant.
Just then, Mr. Zhang turned back and looked at them. Thus, Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t tell her about the concrete details, but she squeezed Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand and gave her a look.
¡°Watch meter!¡±
Finally, Mr. Zhang weed the two to Zhang¡¯s jewelry store.
¡°Miss Han, these are the diamonds, gold, and the gems. Zhang¡¯s Great Fortune is one of the best in this industry. All our designs are very popr. Many women rush to buy these.¡± Mr. Zhang wasn¡¯t shy in giving praise for his own store.
Upon entering the store, there were very few guests. Where was the mad rush that he talked about?
Although Han Qiqing didn¡¯t reply to him, the thick-skinned Mr. Zhang still kept up his enthusiasm as he led them to the where the diamonds were.
¡°Girls like diamonds, right? These designs are the most popr. Miss Han, please feel free to select one. No need to stand on ceremony.¡±
Mr. Zhang looked generous as he pointed to the diamond jewelry inside the ss cab.
Han Qiqing took a look. They were all nes, bracelets, earrings and the like, all of which were targeted at women.
The diamonds were indeed quite dazzling, however¡
She put on a fake smile as she looked at Mr. Zhang, pretending to be curious, and she asked deliberately, ¡°Are these real diamonds? They¡¯re so small! If you didn¡¯t say, I wouldn¡¯t know that they were diamonds. They don¡¯t even look like diamonds. Oh yeah. How many carats are these?¡±
¡°Well¡¡± Mr. Zhang¡¯s expression was awkward. He couldn¡¯t tell her that all they were only one to two carats, could he?
He quickly smiled and saved himself the embarrassment. ¡°It¡¯s my fault. I thought that you girls liked small diamonds. We also have bigger diamonds over on the side, but the designs tend to be more mature. I was afraid that you would-¡±
¡°Come! Let¡¯s go over there and have a look!¡± Han Qiqing pulled Mu Xiaoxiao over to the other side without letting him finish speaking.
Seeing the grimace on the faces of the Zhangs, she wanted tough.
¡°You¡¯re too naughty,¡± she whispered to Han Qiqing.
Han Qiqing smiled smugly and whispered, ¡°I can do worse! Just watch~¡±
On the highest floor of the building kitty-corner to the jewelry store, in a obscure corner, a ck figurey in wait. In front of him sat a ck sniper rifle. They were hidden in the dark and couldn¡¯t be seen from anywhere.
¡°Whoa! I found two pretty babes. Hey, Zeye,e and look!¡±
One of the snipers patted Jun Zeye who wasying next to him.
Badgered by him, Jun Zeye nced at him and said, ¡°Are you here to carry out the mission or are you here to watch girls?¡±
¡°Get up and look! They¡¯re really pretty!¡±
At his urging, Jun Zeye got up, took the binocrs from his partner and looked through it.
Mu Xiaoxiao came into view.
Jun Zeye¡¯s cold expression turned serious as he furrowed his eyebrows.
Why was she here?
Chapter 1324 - The Mysterious Deskmate (94)
Chapter 1324: The Mysterious Deskmate (94)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
After a while, the guy beside him patted his shoulder, leaned closer to him, and joked, ¡°Hey, what¡¯s the matter? You¡¯re not bewitched, are you?¡±
Jun Zeye ignored him.
¡°Yo? You¡¯d rather look at babes than reply to me. How rare! Zeye, is she your type?¡±
The man picked up the sniper rifle and looked through the sight.
¡°That little face is really beautiful and she looks like she has a nice body. The face of an angel and the devil¡¯s¡¡±
Before he could finish speaking, the sight was covered by a hand.
Jun Zeye red at him. ¡°Stop joking, alright?¡±
The man chuckled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be jealous! I was only looking. It¡¯s not like I¡¯ll do anything to her.¡±
¡°What? Jealous?¡± Jun Zeye frowned, wondering how the topic changed to him being jealous.
The man waggled his eyebrows suggestively, looking at him with prating eyes and he said, ¡°I saw that. The girl¡¯s wearing a shirt with the Shangde High School badge. Isn¡¯t that your school? So you know those two babes, right? Which one do you like?¡±
A specially trained person like him would at least be able to perform such an analysis.
¡°What are you talking about?¡± Jun Zeye rolled his eyes at him.
¡°But¡ you have only been to school once, right? Could it be love at first sight?¡± The man thought of something and asked, ¡°Oh yeah, didn¡¯t you say that you went to school to do something? Is it done? I have never seen someone like you before. It¡¯s Shangde High! So many are eager to pay their way into that elite school and even then they might even be able to enter. You, on the other hand, don¡¯t even want to go there.¡±
Jun Zeye said indifferently, ¡°I¡¯m not interested in school.¡±
¡°You don¡¯t go to school because you¡¯re interested. I still want to go to school to study. Tsk. The lush years of youth and the babes as beautiful as flowers! You have no idea. My dream is to go back to university¡¡± The person wanted to express himself when a signal came through his headseat.
Instantly, his expression turned serious.
¡°Third location is ready! Over!¡±
Listening to the messageing in from the headphones, he looked to Jun Zeye and said, ¡°The target has appeared.¡±
¡°Okay, then I should get going.¡± Jun Zeye got up and was about to leave.
The man quickly grabbed him. ¡°Hey! Don¡¯t go! I¡¯m not telling you to go away.¡±
Jun Zeye reminded him, ¡°You are on a mission.¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay if you stay. It won¡¯t affect me. Don¡¯t worry, the captain and the rest of the team won¡¯te up to my position. No one will know that you are here. It¡¯s okay.¡± He knew that Jun Zeye was worried that he would be punished.
He pleaded again, so Jun Zeye gave in and stayed behind.
¡
Inside the jewelry store.
Han Qiqing and Mu Xiaoxiao moved to the other counter.
The diamonds were indeed muchrger. Under the light, they were very dazzling.
¡°Xiaoxiao, this bracelet looks good.¡± Han Qiqing pointed to the one that was ced in the center.
Mr. Zhang, who was standing at the side, grimaced and wished he had hidden the bracelet beforehand.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, ¡°It is pretty good.¡±
Han Qiqing said to the shop assistant, ¡°Let me take a look at this.¡±
The assistant noticed the boss¡¯s grimace, but she still kept up her smile as she took out the bracelet. ¡°Miss Han, would you like me to put it on for you?¡±
¡°No need. I¡¯m just taking a look,¡± Han Qiqing waved her hand and said.
Chapter 1325 - The Mysterious Deskmate (95)
Chapter 1325: The Mysterious Deskmate (95)

She felt the diamond. With the two smaller diamonds set beside it, it looked really good.
Then she looked at the price. Tsk tsk. It almost reached seven digits.
She pouted. She brought the bracelet to Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°This design looks good, but the diamond seems a little small.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao said nothing and chuckled.
Han Qiqing put down the bracelet and said to the shop assistant, ¡°You still have premium products for VIP customers, right? Let me see them.¡±
¡°Well¡¡± The shop assistant looked at the boss as though she were put on the spot.
Han Qiqing looked back at Mr. Zhang and smiled. ¡°Uncle Zhang, don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t let you pay for it. I¡¯ll pay for it myself.¡±
Mr. Zhang hurriedly returned an obsequious smile and said, ¡°How can I let you do that? This is Yaoyao¡¯s apology. Of course, I can¡¯t let Miss Han pay for it! What are you waiting for? Quickly! Get the biggest and best designs out, got it? Go!¡±
¡°Oh, alright.¡± The shop assistant heard him and hurried inside.
Mu Xiaoxiao could tell what Han Qiqing was up to. She contained herughter but she could hardly hold it in any longer.
As they were waiting, another shop assistant came over with some refreshments.
¡°Ladies, any drinks for you? We have coffee and tea.¡±
Without waiting for the prettydy assistant to finish speaking, Han Qiqing waved her hand and said, ¡°Tea then.¡±
¡°Alright,¡± thedy assistant replied. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Han Qiqing add, ¡°I want the Longjing tea picked before the Pure Brightness Festival. It¡¯d be best if it¡¯s a First Flush as well.¡±
Thedy assistant was speechless.
Han Qiqing, looking as though she suddenly remembered something, asked Mr. Zhang, ¡°Uncle Zhang, do you have this kind of tea here? I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m so used to drinking it.¡±
The corner of Mr. Zhang¡¯s lips were twitching.
This little girl really had some refined preferences. Not only did she want the Longjing tea picked before the Pure Brightness Festival, she wants the First Flush as well! They were the most expensive of all the West Lake Longjing tea! One jin of tea would cost more than ten thousand yuan.
¡°Yes, yes. Of course we do! I didn¡¯t expect that Miss Han would know about tea as well. You¡¯re very knowledgeable.¡± Mr. Zhang kept up his smile and replied even though it was painfully costly. He then waved to the manager to have him take care of it.
Typically, he would reserve this type of tea for entertaining important customers, so only the manager had keys to ess it.
Han Qiqing smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m not that good with tea, it¡¯s just that I spent time drinking tea with my elders and I learned about their names. For example, there¡¯s something called the Ancient Tree tea. I don¡¯t like that one. I heard that it was used as a tribute tea in the imperial courts.¡±
Startled, Miss Zhang asked, ¡°Is Miss Han referring to¡ the Ancient Tree tea leaves that were bought for more than twenty million previously? It was the Han family that bought them?¡±
¡°Probably. I don¡¯t know much about it. Anyways, I just don¡¯t like it.¡± Han Qiqing said and shrugged.
Mr. Zhang put on a fake smile and said, ¡°Miss Han should understand that lots of people want to taste it but don¡¯t have the chance.¡±
Not many people would even be able to afford tea that costs millions!
Just then, the shop assistant came out with the diamonds.
¡°Miss Han, this here is the biggest piece in our store but it is a ne. It may not be suitable if you¡¯re intending to wear it to school¡¡± the assistant nced at the boss and deliberately said this.
¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯m just wearing it. It won¡¯t be a problem.¡± Han Qiqing pretended not to understand her and she spoke in a casual tone as though the diamond ne with a price tag of several millions were nothing but a small essory to her.
Chapter 1326 - The Mysterious Deskmate (96)
Chapter 1326: The Mysterious Deskmate (96)

Hearing that, the shop assistant couldn¡¯t say anything in response. Her smile was stiff as she said, ¡°Miss Han, would you like me to put it on for you?¡±
¡°No need. I¡¯ll do it myself.¡± Unlike how careful the assistant was handling the ne, Han Qiqing casually took the diamond ne, put it around her neck, and closed the sp under her chin.
The shop assistant was speechless.
This was the first time, in the many years that she worked here, that she saw such an¡ unconcerned customer.
The average customer would be very careful not to damage the diamonds because they were so expensive.
No one would behave like Han Qiqing, handling the piece as if they were made of fake diamonds.
After putting it on, Han Qiqing, turned the ne so that the diamond faced her.
¡°Mirror.¡± She motioned to the assistant who was staring nkly.
The assistant broke out of her daze and quickly went to get the mirror for her.
Han Qiqing looked at the mirror and praised herself, ¡°Looks good! A diamond of this size is what you call a diamond. Xiaoxiao, what do you think?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the diamond on her neck. It was indeed dazzling.
¡°Yeah, it looks great.¡±
Han Qiqing smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯ll take this then! Then I¡¯ll pick another big one for you.¡±
She was ted while Mr. Zhang looked grim.
This was the most expensive diamond ne in his store!
Moreover, she wasn¡¯t only asking for one, but two!
Mr. Zhang felt his heart bleeding.
Meanwhile, Zhang Shuyao was so infuriated!
She liked the ne as well. She persuaded him like a spoiled child to let her have it several times, but her father just wouldn¡¯t give it to her.
Although Zhang Shuyao knew what her father was trying to do, losing tens of millions in the blink of an eye was too high a price to pay, right?
She took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to snatch the diamond ne back.
She took a step back.
But she identally bumped into someone.
¡°Watch where you¡¯re going!¡± The mad Zhang Shuyao turned back and scolded that person. She didn¡¯t care whether it was a customer or not as she red fiercely.
Taking a second look, the other party looked ugly. He had a head of a buck and the eyes of a rat. Upon seeing that he wasn¡¯t rich, she got even angrier.
¡°If you don¡¯t apologize to me, don¡¯t think about leaving!¡± she said ruthlessly as she pointed at the other party¡¯s nose.
The man raised his eyebrow, looking unfriendly as he asked, ¡°Why should I apologize to you?¡±
Of course, Zhang Shuyao was not really looking for an apology. She was just venting her anger.
She pointed at him and said overbearingly, ¡°From the looks of you, you don¡¯t look like a good character. You must be a thief. Are you trying to steal something? Do you want me to call the security guards right now? Do you want me to get them to search you?¡±
The man suddenlyughed, ¡°I¡¯m so scared.¡±
¡°If you¡¯re scared, then¡¡± Zhang Shuyao was about to retort when she fell silent, her eyes widened in shock as she stared at the gun pressed to her forehead.
The man had pulled the gun from his bag.
¡°Ah¡ª¡ª¡± Zhang Shuyao screamed, but the gun was stuffed in her mouth.
¡°Don¡¯t move. Unless you want your head to explode. I don¡¯t mind letting you have a taste.¡± The man smiled wickedly. His beady eyes were filled with killing intent.
Zhang Shuyao could tell that he was speaking the truth. She was struck with terror, her lips instantly turning pale.
The people nearby saw what happened and screamed in fright.

Just then, four people rushed in from the outside, wearing ck masks which covered most of their faces. All of them were carrying guns with two of them were carrying rifles.
¡°No one move! Put your hands up!¡± one of them shouted.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing looked at each other silently and cooperated obediently.
Mr. Zhang put up his hand slowly, looked around at the jewelry in the store worriedly and his heart tensed up.
Zhang Shuyao also put up her hands, trembling in fear.
¡°Girl, you were saying that if I don¡¯t apologize to you, I won¡¯t be able to leave, right?¡± The man sneered, his rough hand touched Zhang Shuyao¡¯s face, boorishly pinching her chin in a forceful manner.
Zhang Shuyao thought her chin was about to be dislocated. It felt so painful that it forced the tears out of her.
¡°Boohoo¡ I¡¯m sorry. I was wrong. I¡¯ll apologize to you. I beg you to spare me, okay? I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m sorry!¡± Zhang Shuyao cried and pleaded for mercy, wanting to get on her knees to beg.
¡°Apologize? I don¡¯t ept it! But you can do something else as an apology.¡± The man licked his lips as a lecherous expression came over his ugly face.
With that said, his hand suddenly clutched Zhang Shuyao¡¯s neck, frightening Zhang Shuyao. Then his hand slid down to her breast which he squeezed hard.
Frightened, Zhang Shuyao squirmed and screamed, ¡°No! Don¡¯t touch me! You¡¯re disgusting! Don¡¯t touch me!¡±
This man was so ugly. How could she let him touch her? He was simply too disgusting. Too disgusting!
Upon hearing the word ¡®disgusting,¡¯ his expression changed. ¡°You dare say that I¡¯m disgusting? You dare say that I¡¯m disgusting? Do you want to see me f*ck you right now?¡±
While Mr. Zhang was watching his daughter be humiliated, he was also watching anxiously as the masked men stole jewelry.
He secretly gestured to the shop assistant at the counter.
The shop assistant trembled. But she still shifted a step, lifted her leg slightly to press the rm that would alert the police when a shot rang out. The shop assistant was shot. She fell back against the wall and limply slid down.
Scared witless, Mr. Zhang¡¯s legs turned to jelly.
¡°Want to call the police?¡± One of the robbers with a rifle came over and put a gun to his head, andughed. ¡°Mr. Zhang, don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know that you are the owner of this store. What do you think is more important? Jewelry or your life? I¡¯ll give you five seconds to choose.¡±
Mr. Zhang gasped. The other party knew who he was. It seemed that they had made him the target!
¡°My life is important! My life is important!¡± He shouted anxiously without waiting for the guy to start counting.
The guy hit his face wickedly, ¡°Very smart!¡±
The guy who had the head of a buck and the eyes of a rat, suddenlyughed out loud. He pushed Zhang Shuyao to a chair, nted his foot onto the chair, leaned close, and stared at her. Then he looked to Mr. Zhang and said, ¡°Mr. Zhang, I also want to y a game of two choices with you. Do you think your life is more important or is your daughter¡¯s life more important?¡±
Mr. Zhang¡¯s face turned pale and his mouth opened.
Zhang Shuyao¡¯s shirt was roughly torn open, revealing her bra underneath. It was made of purplece and looked alluring.
¡°Slut!¡± The man pped her and hisrge hand wantonly vited her breast.
¡°Ugh. No¡ Stop touching me¡¡± Zhang Shuyao¡¯s whole body quivered. She struggled vigorously again and took another p to the face.
Chapter 1328 - The Mysterious Deskmate (98)
Chapter 1328: The Mysterious Deskmate (98)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Suddenly a thought came to her. Zhang Shuyao looked up and pointed to one corner.
¡°If you want to vite someone, vite them! You know the Big Four Families, right? That girl is the daughter of the Han Family of the Big Four Families!¡±
¡°Big Four Families?¡± Hearing that, the man looked to where Han Qiqing and Mu Xiaoxiao were.
Frightened, Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing huddled together.
The man pushed Zhang Shuyao down and slowly walked over, staring at the two of them as he asked, ¡°Which one of you is Miss Han?¡±
Han Qiqing¡¯s face was pale as though she were sick.
Her hand trembled as she kept quiet.
The man smirked, and pointed at them and asked again, ¡°I¡¯ll give you another chance. Tell me! Who is Miss Han!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and said to him, ¡°I am!¡±
Shocked, Han Qiqing stared at her.
She quickly shouted, ¡°No! I am! I¡¯m Han Qiqing! Xiaoxiao, are you crazy? Why would you say that you¡¯re me!¡±
¡°What are you on about? I¡¯m Han Qiqing. Enough of that!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao red at her so she would stop.
How could Han Qiqing let Mu Xiaoxiao take her ce? She said to the man frantically, ¡°I¡¯m Miss Han, got it! I¡¯m the one!¡±
The man frowned as he stared at the two of them, as if he were guessing who was telling the truth.
Just then, Zhang Shuyao pointed to Han Qiqing and shouted, ¡°She is Miss Han! She¡¯s the one!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shot her a sharp nce. If her eyes were a sharp sword, Zhang Shuyao would have been turned into mincemeat.
The man sneered and he rudely grabbed Han Qiqing¡¯s cor. ¡°Come with me!¡±
¡°Qiqing!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shouted in panic, trying to stop him.
Han Qiqing quickly waved her hand at her. ¡°Xiaoxiao, stay there and don¡¯t move! It¡¯s alright. I¡¯m fine!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her with tears in her eyes.
Her lips were pale and she was trembling in fear. Yet she saying that she was fine?
She was clearly terrified!
¡°Qiqing¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her worriedly.
The man could not be bothered by their sentimentalism. Dragging Han Qiqing out, he bragged his trophy to his aplices, ¡°Check out who this is! I heard she¡¯s the daughter of the Han Family!¡±
¡°Whoa!¡± The others who were busy stuffing the jewelries into the bags stopped and checked out Han Qiqing noisily.
¡°Haha! This rich young missy is probably worth more than all the jewelries in this storebined!¡± someone said excitedly.
¡°The Big Four Families! I¡¯ve only heard about them. This is the first time I¡¯m seeing one of them in person. Alright, let me see if someone from the Big Four Families looks different from the rest.¡±
Two men hurried over excitedly.
On the highest floor of the building in a spot that was well-hidden from sight.
¡°Damn! Zeye! The jewelry store is being robbed! One of the two babes look like she¡¯s being restrained,¡± The sniper eximed.
¡°I saw it.¡± Jun Zeye put down the binocrs, his expression enigmatic.
¡°How did it turn out like this? Isn¡¯t this too much of a coincidence? Do you think this bunch of robbers is in cahoots with our target this time? Otherwise, why would they be robbing the jewelry store at this time?¡± the sniper looked at Jun Zeye and asked, ¡°The girl being held forcefully doesn¡¯t seem to be doing too good. Do you want to go down and help?¡±
¡°No,¡± Jun Zeye said.
¡°Why?¡±
Chapter 1329 - The Mysterious Deskmate (99)
Chapter 1329: The Mysterious Deskmate (99)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Jun Zeye wasn¡¯t the kind of person who wouldn¡¯t help someone in need.
Watching as Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing, were restrained by the few bad guys, the situation didn¡¯t seem to bode well for them. Who knew what those guys would do to them.
However, he was on a mission. Even if the sky fell, he couldn¡¯t leave this position.
But it was a different case for Jun Zeye. He could go!
But why wasn¡¯t he going?
Jun Zeye just looked at his partner without giving a reply.
The two looked at each other.
The sniper stared nkly for a second. Then he suddenly realized something, sighed and said, ¡°Alright, I got it. Let¡¯s see how it ys out.¡±
Yes. This time, their target weren¡¯t the robbers, but someone even more important.
If Zeye hastily went down to save them, it would definitely alert the enemy. It would then screw up the entire n and their whole operation would go up in smoke.
Thus, he had no choice but to pray that the two girls would be safe.
Even so, the sniper checked on the situation in the jewelry store.
Seeing that Han Qiqing was surrounded by several men, his heart ached for her.
He looked up at Jun Zeye and noticed that Jun Zeye seemed expressionless.
¡°I say, Jun Zeye. You like the other one, right? That¡¯s why you¡¯re not that worried.¡±
What if it were the other girl who was being held forcibly?
Would it change his decision?
Jun Zeye nced at him and said indifferently, ¡°I didn¡¯t say I like her.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± The sniper rubbed his nose and thought for a moment. ¡°I guess so. I can¡¯t imagine you believing in love at first sight. You seem like the type that need to cultivate feelings over time.¡±
¡°Enough nonsense,¡± Jun Zeye said. He picked up the binocrs and was focused on the jewelry store.
Shortly, instructions came over the sniper¡¯s headset.
Listening to the instructions, he responded seriously, ¡°Aye! Understood!¡±
He turned to look at Jun Zeye, his face looking grim as he said, ¡°These guys¡ hijacked the entire building!¡±
Jun Zeye frowned. He didn¡¯t expect they would take it to such an extent.
The sniper clenched his teeth and said, ¡°No wonder the hijackers are so calm. Who doesn¡¯t run quickly after a robbery? These guys on the other hand are taking their time, ying with girls after stealing the jewelry!¡±
They were almost certain that these two groups of people are in cahoots!
¡°What¡¯s their goal?¡± Jun Zeye asked the key question.
¡°Who knows? This group of people are too bold. They actually hijacked the entire building!¡± This was unheard of. Though they knew that the group had done lots of bad things before, they didn¡¯t expect the robbers to participate in a hostage situation.
The sniper wiped away his cold sweat. ¡°If it weren¡¯t for some rich person providing the clues and the higher-ups taking note and making preparations for it¡¡±
He couldn¡¯t imagine how things would have happened.
But who knew what would happen.
Jun Zeye was not interested in talking about these things. What he wanted was information that could be used.
He asked seriously, ¡°How many people do they have other than those robbers?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± The sniper shook his head.
Jun Zeye red at him.
The sniper said innocently, ¡°The captain didn¡¯t tell me. How would I know? Alright, I¡¯ll ask.¡±
¡°No need.¡± Jun Zeye wouldn¡¯t let him touch the headphones.
Chapter 1330 - The Mysterious Deskmate (100)
Chapter 1330: The Mysterious Deskmate (100)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The sniper¡¯s orders were to awaitmands and not to ask about the situation.
The sniper knew that Jun Zeye was giving thought to him, so he asked, ¡°What should we do now? It¡¯d be dangerous if the two girls remained there.¡±
Actually, to be more urate, all the people in the entire building were in danger.
Jun Zeye only replied curtly, ¡°Wait for instructions.¡±
The sniper answered, ¡°Okay.¡±
¡
Inside the jewelry store.
Han Qiqing was surrounded by a few fierce robbers. She was like quail shriveling up and trembling in the center.
¡°W-what do you want? If you want money¡¡± She tried to calm herself down and face the robbers bravely.
She knew that the more she frightened she appeared, the more excited it would make them.
She was of the Han Family.
Although she was really scared, as a representative of the Han family, she couldn¡¯t make the family lose face!
Han Qiqing¡¯s eyes were misty. Even if she were to die here today, she must not yield.
She took a deep breath and slowly raised her head, calming herself down as she looked at them and said, ¡°What you want is money, right? Yes, I¡¯m the daughter of the Han Family. If you want money, I can give it to you. How much do you want?¡±
A robber walked up to her, and pushed her chin up with the cold tip of his gun. He chuckled and said, ¡°How much do we want? You sure talk big! What if I say I want¡ a hundred million!¡±
As soon as he said that, the other robbers startedughing.
Mr. Zhang, Zhang Shuyao and Wang Shiyu gasped in astonishment.
One hundred million?
That was a lot!
However, Han Qiqing seemed as though the gun were invisible to her as she looked the robber in the eyes and said, ¡°No problem.¡±
The robbers were all stunned. And that robber asked, ¡°What did you say? One hundred million is no problem?¡±
He said a hundred million!
¡°Yes, one hundred million is no problem,¡± Han Qiqing repeated. Her expression indicated that a hundred million dors was peanuts to her.
The robbers looked at each other, their eyes filled with greed.
¡°Damn! The Big Four Families sure are something.¡±
They knew about the Big Four Families, and they knew that the Big Four Families were at the top of high society.
She spoke of a hundred million so casually.
For the robbers, they¡¯d never even seen a million, let alone a hundred million dors!
One of them spat and shouted, ¡°Ptooey! These rich people are some stinking rich, fat pigs! We should have cut a piece off them from the start.¡±
¡°Yeah!¡±
¡°What do say, brothers? How much ransom should we ask from the Han Family? Is a hundred million too little?¡±
¡°One hundred million is too little! How about one billion? Hahahaha!¡±
Seeing their eyes gleaming at the thought of money, Han Qiqing secretly heaved a breath of relief.
As long as her money was still of use, she didn¡¯t need to be afraid.
Not only was she worried about herself, but she was also worried about Xiaoxiao.
If the two of them coulde out of this safely, even if she really had to spend one billion, it would not be a problem.
Han Qiqing knew that she was safe for the time being, so she said to them, ¡°You can ask for however much you want. As long as I¡¯m safe, my family will be willing to pay the ransom.¡±
¡°Good! I like that!¡± the man who had the head of a buck and the eyes of a rat shouted. From the looks of things, he was the ringleader.

Just then, his phone rang.
He smiled ingratiatingly as he answered the call.
¡°Hey, Brother KO. We¡¯re in the jewelry store upstairs. We¡¯ll rob every store one by one¡ Of course I know what to do. Brother KO, you can rest assured. I will send your share over to you. ¡±
The man went out to talk.
The man hesitated, thinking about whether he should mention that they kidnapped the Han Family¡¯s daughter.
In the end, he didn¡¯t mention it.
He wanted to keep Han Qiqing for himself and his crew so that the ransom would only be paid to them.
The beady-eyed man walked back to the store and looked around at Mr. Zhang and the others. Then he said to hisckey, ¡°Take them all into the room! Take Miss Han with us to the next store!¡±
Han Qiqing and Mu Xiaoxiao exchanged nces.
Mu Xiaoxiao was very worried about her. Han Qiqing gave her a look, telling her not to do anything rash.
She thought that the robbers were going to shut them in the room so that they would not get in the way.
However, Han Qiqing saw one of the robbers taking out something that looked like a bomb from the bag and secured it to the door.
Zhang Shuyao saw it too. Frightened, she gasped and asked, ¡°What is that? Are you going to bomb us?¡±
The beady-eyed man sneered. ¡°Whether it will detonate depends on your luck. We¡¯re just following orders. If you need to me someone, then me yourself for being unlucky!¡±
The bomb arranged by Brother KO was also a bargaining chip.
Han Qiqing was conflicted. Seeing Xiaoxiao about to be pushed into the room, she quickly shouted, ¡°Wait!¡±
¡°What is it, Miss Han?¡± one of the robbersughed.
Han Qiqing quickly pointed at Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°Her! She¡¯s my friend! Let here with me, please. Let here with me! Otherwise, don¡¯t think about getting even one cent!¡±
Although the robbers appeared to be irritated, they agreed to let Mu Xiaoxiao go with her.
¡°Xiaoxiao!¡± Han Qiqing rushed up and hugged Mu Xiaoxiao tightly.
Seeing that, Mr. Zhang and Zhang Shuyao cried out miserably.
Mr. Zhang said, ¡°I beg you! Don¡¯t shut us inside. How much do you want? We¡¯ll give it to you! We¡¯ll give you ransom too! Any amount!¡±
The robbers who were about to push everyone in the store into the room stopped and looked to the boss.
The beady-eyed man smirked and said disdainfully, ¡°No need. How much are you even worth? Throw them in!¡±
Of course, the Zhangs were worth a lot. Butpared to the daughter of the Han family, they weren¡¯t worth much.
Although they were robbers, they weren¡¯t short-sighted.
If they were too greedy, they might end up getting nothing in the end.
Besides, with the Han family¡¯s one billion, they didn¡¯t need the small fish they had caught.
At the thought of all the money that they were going to get, theyughed as they pushed everyone rudely into the room.
Next, they grabbed Wang Shiyu.
¡°S-save me! Mu Xiaoxiao, save me! I swear, I won¡¯t dare go against you in the future! I¡¯ll be your ve, your helper, anything! Save me. I don¡¯t want to die! Mu Xiaoxiao!¡± Wang Shiyu cried agonizingly, her face pale as she clung onto the cab.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t spare her a nce as she hugged Qiqing.

How could they worry about others when they couldn¡¯t even guarantee their own safety?
Feeling Han Qiqing trembling, Mu Xiaoxiao stroked Qiqing¡¯s back to calm her down. She said softly, ¡°Qiqing, we¡¯ll be fine. We¡¯ll definitely be fine. Yin Shaojie wille and save us. Your family will alsoe to save us.¡±
Whether it be the Yin Family, Han Family, or Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s family, they would all do their best to save them.
¡°Yeah. We¡¯ll be fine.¡± Han Qiqing sobbed as she nodded. The brave front she put up broke down before Xiaoxiao. Her whole body shook violently. Only when she held Xiaoxiao tightly could she feel an inkling of warmth.
Wang Shiyu was thrown into the room.
However, at that moment, Zhang Shuyao rushed out, her hair messy as she held onto the door frame. She shouted frantically, ¡°We¡¯ll give you all of our assets! Please, let us go, alright? We swear we will just stay here and not get in your way, and we will definitely not call the police!¡±
The beady-eyed man remembered something. Smiling, he ordered hisckey, ¡°You go to the next store and take all everything valuable. There¡¯s something I need to do.¡±
Then, Zhang Shuyao looked at him as he walked toward her lecherously.
¡°W-what do you want.¡± Zhang Shuyao stumbled and fell. She crawled backward in fright.
¡°If you hadn¡¯t run out, I would have forgotten our dispute,¡± the beady-eyed man sneered, grabbed her by the cor rudely and pulled her up before dragging her to the VIP room.
¡°No¡ no¡¡± Zhang Shuyao screamed, but no one cared.
Mu Xiaoxiao cupped Han Qiqing¡¯s ear, pale-faced as she said, ¡°Don¡¯t listen.¡±
Han Qiqing nodded as she cupped Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ear as well.
The two looked at each other, spurring each other on.
They were definitely going to be okay!
One of the robbers was left behind to watch after the two. The others were busy in the jewelry store next door.
Just then, a group of fierce looking men came walking over.
¡°Brother KO!¡± someone called out to the man who led the group and he rushed into the VIP room and called for his boss.
Upon seeing Brother KO, the beady eyes man quickly put on his toadying expression.
¡°Brother KO, what brings you here? How¡¯s the situation down there?¡±
Brother KO looked at him coldly and snorted. Then he saw Han Qiqing and Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, ¡°Who are these two? Why aren¡¯t they inside?¡±
¡°Uh¡¡± The beady-eyed man thought for a moment. When Brother KO looked at him, he had no choice but to tell the truth.
Hearing that Han Qiqing was from the Big Four Families, his expression immediately changed.
The next second, the beady-eyed man took a punch to the face and fell to the ground.
¡°Do you have she*t for brains?! You dare to mess with someone from the Big Four Families?¡±
Dumbfounded, the beady-eyed man looked at Brother KO.
Brother KO kicked him and shouted, ¡°You idiot! Hurry up and let them go. I don¡¯t want them to lose even a single hair, do you hear me?¡±
Suddenly, he heard someone shouting within the room, hitting on the door as she shouted, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao! Curse you!¡±
It was Wang Shiyu who was yelling.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao! You selfish slut! You turn a blind eye to those in need! You¡¯ll be struck by lightning!¡±
¡°Mu?¡± Brother KO¡¯s eyes narrowed when he heard the word.
After learning from the beady-eyed man that Qiqing was the daughter of the Han Family, his sharp eyes fell upon Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°You¡¯re a Mu?¡±
Chapter 1333 - The Mysterious Deskmate (103)
Chapter 1333: The Mysterious Deskmate (103)
Upon making eye contact with him, his turbid-looking eyes gave off a terrifying aura that made her heart quiver.
Did this person know who she was?
Brother KO walked up to her and shouted harshly, ¡°I¡¯m asking you a question!¡±
Han Qiqing was frightened and she pulled Mu Xiaoxiao behind her instinctively, ¡°W-what are you talking about! What Mu? Her surname is not Mu!¡±
However, it seemedpletely obvious to Brother KO that she was trying to hide that very fact from him.
If ady from the Han family was willing to protect this girl, what were the chances that she was just an ordinary person?
Brother KO came closer.
As Han Qiqing stepped back, scared of Brother KO.
Brother KO stared at Mu Xiaoxiao as if he were going to open her up with his gaze. ¡°Mu Family¡ The legendary Mu Family? A person of the family is actually here¡¡±
Upon hearing him, Han Qiqing secretly gasped, her pupil erging as she looked at him frantically.
H-he knew who Xiaoxiao was!
Han Qiqing¡¯s heart was beating in a frenzy. They were like trapped animals with no choice but to move back as they had nowhere to escape.
In a quick and urate movement, the man reached out and caught Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°Xiaoxiao!¡± Han Qiqing was frightened and worried for Xiaoxiao but she couldn¡¯t grab her in time.
Although Mu Xiaoxiao tried to calm herself down, the man¡¯s eyes were really scary and his smile as he stared at her gave off an eerie feeling.
¡°Alright, I admit. I¡¯m a Mu. What do you want?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked up at him and stood up straight.
Like how Qiqing didn¡¯t cave in to the robbers, she also couldn¡¯t give up and couldn¡¯t show her weakness in front of these bad guys.
Hearing that, Brother KO smiled delightedly, rubbed his chin, his faceing closer to her as he scrutinized her.
¡°The Mu Family¡ I actually get to meet with someone from the Mu Family¡ It seems that this is really a lucky day.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. As he approached, she caught a whiff of something that stunk. It seemed like cigarette smoke but there was something different about it. In any case, it was very unpleasant.
Brother KO grabbed her hand, his other hand signaling to hisckeys.
Ackey came over and asked respectfully, ¡°Boss, what¡¯s up?¡±
¡°Handcuffs,¡± Brother KO said to theckey, his eyes fixed on Mu Xiaoxiao.
Hisckey handed the handcuffs to him, and stared at Mu Xiaoxiao curiously.
Brother KO shot a look at him. ¡°Is she for you to look at? Go somewhere else!¡±
¡°Yes, Boss.¡± Hisckey bowed and walked away dejectedly.
Seeing the handcuffs in his hand, Mu Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva. He wasn¡¯t nning to use them on her, was he?
¡°Miss Mu, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Brother KO smiled darkly as he looked down at her hand.
Snap!
He cuffed her left hand.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to be touched by him, so she held up her other hand by herself.
With so many bad guys, there was no way she could resist so she had no choice but to allow herself to be restrained.
It was best not to resist in order to avoid getting injured.
She had been taught how to protect herself in these situations since she was a child.
Chapter 1334: The Mysterious Deskmate (104)
Seeing that she held up her right hand, Brother KO smiled.
Snap!
He cuffed the other handcuff on his own hand.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled by the unexpected action and looked up at him.
Theckeys at the scene also didn¡¯t expect Brother KO to handcuff himself to her. They looked confused but didn¡¯t dare ask any questions.
It was quiet and only Wang Shiyu¡¯s boorish cursing could be heard from within the backroom.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao! Die a torturous death! Your face will rot and you¡¯ll be f*cked by ten thousand men!¡±
Her cursing sounded more and more unpleasant.
Brother KO¡¯s eyes narrowed. From his pocket, he took out a small remote control and smiled at Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°Miss Mu, do you want me to teach her a lesson?¡±
Though he was smiling, Mu Xiaoxiao felt a terrible chill down her spine.
The bomb that was stuck to the door had a red light that shed every couple of seconds.
Obviously the remote was the detonator for the bomb, right?
Brother KO dramatically imitated the sound of the bomb. ¡°Boom! It¡¯ll shut her up forever. How pleasant!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao could tell from his eyes that he was crazy. Lives were probably as valuable as toys to him.
She shook her head and said, ¡°No need.¡±
Brother KO stared at her, click his tongue, and said, ¡°It seems that Miss Mu is very kind.¡±
His tone made it seem like he was mocking her.
He put away the remote control and said to hisckeys, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±
¡°Uh¡ Brother KO!¡± The beady-eyed man came back to his senses and called him. He pointed to Han Qiqing and asked, ¡°What about Miss Han?¡±
Brother KO impatiently shot him a look. ¡°Do you have a hearing impairment?¡±
¡°N-no. I don¡¯t.¡± The beady-eyed man seemed very afraid of Brother KO because he quickly took a few steps back.
Brother KO looked back at Han Qiqing and he tugged at the handcuffs forcefully, causing Mu Xiaoxiao to stagger.
He smirked and said, ¡°We don¡¯t need her anymore.¡±
The beady-eyed man stared nkly for a while and didn¡¯t catch on to what he said.
Did Brother KO say that Miss Han was¡ worthless?
The billion-dor daughter of the Han family was worthless?
The beady-eyed man was stupefied. He had no idea what was going on in Brother KO¡¯s head.
Seeing that Xiaoxiao was going to be taken away, Han Qiqing panicked. Putting aside her fears, she rushed up to them. ¡°You let go of her!¡±
Brother KO stopped.
Han Qiqing was already at her wit¡¯s end. Her mind was a nk and she had no idea what to do.
Panicking, she said, ¡°You don¡¯t want to make yourself an enemy of the Big Four Families, do you? I¡¯m telling you, don¡¯t you touch her. If anything happens to her, the Big Four Families wille together to deal with you. They¡¯ll never let you off. Do you hear me?¡±
Upon saying that, the robbers were all shocked as they all turned to look at Mu Xiaoxiao.
Who was this girl?
She could actually cause the Big Four Families toe and protect her?
¡°Let her go now!¡± Han Qiqing was so anxious she was going to cry. Her eyes were wet, her voice cracking as she continued to say to Brother KO, ¡°Don¡¯t you want money? How much do you want? We¡¯ll give it to you!¡± ¡±
¡°Money?¡± Brother KO smirked faintly. He looked at Mu Xiaoxiao darkly. His eyes were like that of a snake.
¡°She is more valuable than money!¡±
With that said, he took Mu Xiaoxiao and left.
¡°Xiaoxiao!¡± Han Qiqing shouted as she tried to catch up.

But when she took a step, a fierce-looking robber grabbed her.
The robber looked to the beady-eyed man and asked, ¡°Big Bro, what should we do with Miss Han?¡±
The beady-eyed man remembered what Brother KO said earlier telling him not to touch the members of the Big Four Families.
However, when Brother KO took away the Mu girl just now, he didn¡¯t seem frightened when Miss Han said the Big Four Families woulde after them.
Wasn¡¯t he contradicting himself?
The beady-eyed man smacked theckey¡¯s head and shouted. ¡°Are you deaf? Didn¡¯t you hear what Brother KO said? Let her go and don¡¯t touch a single hair on her! Do you need me to say that again?¡±
After taking a smack to the head, theckey flinched, shaking his head as he said, ¡°No, no! I understand, Big Bro.¡±
Seeing that they didn¡¯t dare to hurt her, Han Qiqing wanted to catch up to Xiaoxiao.
The beady-eyed man could tell what she was up to. After the group carried away the valuable jewelry, they left her in the jewelry store and closed the ss door. They found a chain from somewhere and used it to bar the door.
Behind the ss door, Han Qiqing shook the door handle anxiously.
The beady-eyed man pointed at the bomb in the room inside and said with a smile, ¡°Miss Han, you have to be careful. If you¡¯re identally caught in the explosion, don¡¯t me it on us.¡±
With that said, he called out to hisckeys and they walked away.
¡°Let me out! Don¡¯t you want money? I¡¯ll give you money! I¡¯ll give however much you want!¡± Han Qiqing shouted.
But the robbers paid no attention to her.
Looking through the sniper rifle¡¯s scope, only Han Qiqing¡¯s tearful face remained.
The sniper above put down his sniper rifle. He couldn¡¯t help but nce at Jun Zeye.
¡°The other girl got taken away.¡±
However, Jun Zeye¡¯s expression remained unchanged as though he were unconcerned.
The sniper seemed disappointed. It seemed that he had guessed wrongly. Zeye didn¡¯t have feelings for those girls.
After Jun Zeye put down his binocrs, the sniper quickly asked him, ¡°Zeye, what now? Who is the girl that was taken away? That KO guy actually cuffed himself with her. What¡¯s the meaning of that?¡±
KO was a terrifying drug trafficker. He was a sinister and vicious character, who used cruel methods. It was rumored that those who fall into his hands experienced something worse than death.
The sniper said anxiously, ¡°I heard¡ KO¡¯s favorite method is controlling people with drugs. Do you think¡ he has taken a liking to that girl? If that¡¯s the case, then it would be terrible!¡±
But strangely, even if he had taken a liking to her, he wouldn¡¯t cuff himself to her, right?
It seemed like he wasn¡¯t going to let her go no matter what happened.
Jun Zeye didn¡¯t respond to him.
¡°Ze¡¡± The sniper was going to say something again when a signal came through the headphones. He pressed the headphones to his ear and listened clearly to the captain¡¯s instructions. His expression changed and he responded, ¡°Aye! Understood!¡±
He looked at Jun Zeye and said, ¡°There are several helicopters flying over. It seems to be their people.¡±
Jun Zeye frowned, ¡°The roof? Has it arrived already?¡±
It seemed that the group was going to leave.
So far, he still didn¡¯t know the group¡¯s true motive.
Did they hijack the entire building just for robbery?
How could it be that simple!
The sniper answered, ¡°Soon. Perhaps in two or three minutes time.¡±
Jun Zeye¡¯s handsome face turned solemn. He walked over to the railing, looked up, and he said to the sniper, ¡°Let¡¯s go up.¡±
Chapter 1336 - The Mysterious Deskmate (106)
Chapter 1336: The Mysterious Deskmate (106)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Okay.¡± The sniper picked up his rifle and turned to go to the emergency exit door.
¡°Here,¡± Jun Zeye said softly.
The sniper turned back and saw that he had already begun climbing up.
The sniper was speechless.
Must they take such a risk?
The sniper had no choice but to go along. He looked down. They were so high up¡
They were on the eleventh floor. Even if they didn¡¯t turn into mince meat from a potential fall, there was no way their limbs would remain intact.
He shook his head in resignation, but he had no choice but to keep up.
Climbing up to the top, there just happened to be a dark room which led them straight to the top of the building.
The two seemed like ghosts as they crept silently.
Given their scouting abilities, they sessfully found a suitable sniping position. The sniper suddenly remembered to report his movements to the captain.
He heaved a breath of relief and said to Jun Zeye, ¡°The captain gave the OK. If I see them, I can shoot at will.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Jun Zeye nodded.
¡°But¡ the situation doesn¡¯t seem very good,¡± the sniper said worriedly, ¡°They are very cunning. They have sealed the passages to the roof. There is only one route that leads up there and they have guards block it. So, there¡¯s only the two of us now with no backup.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Jun Zeye nodded.
¡°What¡¯s worse is that they have more than 30 people and heavy weapons while there¡¯s only the two of us and a sniper rifle.¡± Once again, he stressed the point that there were only the two of them.
¡°Yeah.¡± Jun Zeye replied mildly.
The sniper was unsure whether tough or cry, ¡°Zeye, I know that you are very capable. But we¡¯re facing KO! His men aren¡¯t some typical guys. How are we gonna handle them?¡±
Jun Zeye said seriously, ¡°I¡¯m thinking of a solution.¡±
The sniper asked, ¡°So, have you thought of a solution?¡±
Jun Zeye said, ¡°I¡¯ve thought of it.¡±
The sniper was surprised. ¡°What is it?¡±
Jun Zeye turned to look at him and said, ¡°Take down the leader.¡±
The sniper was speechless.
Why didn¡¯t it seem like a good idea to him?
However¡
This seemed like the only way.
¡
When Mu Xiaoxiao was taken up to the roof, she realized that there was another person being held hostage.
The man¡¯s hands were cuffed behind his back. Two fierce men held him and pushed him forward.
Frowning, Mu Xiaoxiao could vaguely make out that the man who was being restrained spoke Arabic.
The wind on the roof was so strong that she couldn¡¯t open her eyes.
She could faintly hear the sound of a spinning rotor.
Could it be a helicopter?
She held up her right hand to cover her eyes. She looked out in the distance, and indeed, there was a helicopter flying toward them.
The uneasiness in her heart became even stronger, and she inadvertently turned to look at Brother KO.
Brother KO met her eyes, smiled darkly, and said, ¡°Miss Mu, are you afraid of heights?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. ¡°What if I say yes? Will you let me go?¡±
He shook his head. ¡°That is impossible of course. If you are really scared, I can blindfold you. That¡¯s the only thing I can do for you.¡±
¡°Well, forget it then.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao refused curtly. If she were to be blindfolded and see only darkness, it would only make her more afraid.
Just then, one of theckeys with a long rifle rushed over.
¡°Boss! There are lots of policemen below! We¡¯re surrounded.¡±

Brother KO snorted, ¡°How slow!¡±
He had already calcted everything. Even if the police realized that they were going to use the helicopter to escape, they would not be able to stop him now.
Theckey asked, ¡°Boss, what now?¡±
Brother KO took the remote from his pocket and threw it to theckeys. ¡°Get to it.¡±
¡°Yes!¡± theckey answered.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly at the remote and thought that it was connected to all the bombs nted in the building.
¡°Could it be¡ that you are going to detonate all the bombs? How can you be so cruel!¡± She couldn¡¯t help but scold him.
She couldn¡¯t imagine how many deaths and injuries would result if the bombs exploded.
And she didn¡¯t know if Qiqing was safe.
Brother KO¡¯s eyes narrowed, and he said happily, ¡°You call this cruel? Miss Mu, I really envy you. You must live in a world of fairy tales. You definitely haven¡¯t seen real cruelty. I¡¯ll let you see it now.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to see it!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao red at him.
¡°We¡¯ll see the bombs explode as we fly away in the helicopter Boom! We¡¯ll be able to admire the beautiful scene in the air.¡±
¡°You¡¯re sick!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao yelled at him.
¡°Boss, I¡¯ll go down first,¡± theckey looked at Brother KO and said. Just as he was about to turn and leave, something flew past unexpectedly. Suddenly, the remote control in his hand was broken!
¡°Snipers!¡± theckey shouted and stood in front of Brother KO.
Brother KO¡¯s eyes narrowed coldly and his sharp eyes began scanning the area.
They were on the top floor. It should not be easy for a sniper to hide.
Where were they?
¡
The two were hiding somewhere.
The sniper had just fired his rifle. It was a clean shot.
He looked to Jun Zeye and asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say to take down the leader?¡±
Why did he tell him to shoot the remote control first?
Jun Zeye looked at him, toozy to exin to him.
The sniper then realized that he was asking a dumb question. The remote control was tied to the lives of so many. Of course, it was more important to destroy the remote control first.
He said disappointedly, ¡°But this way, we¡¯re alerting the enemy. Now we can¡¯t take down the leader anymore.¡±
Brother KO wasn¡¯t a fool to stand in the same ce and wait for him to take another shot.
So what should they do now?
Jun Zeye looked serious, his brows furrowed, apparently also caught in a conundrum.
However, the clock was ticking. The enemies below had all taken cover after being alerted by the shot.
Now that they couldn¡¯t snipe, they also couldn¡¯t just show hastily. Must they watch helplessly as the targets leave in the helicopter?
¡
Meanwhile.
A ck sports car sped on the road, running several red lights.
rmed, the cars on the road dodged and made way for it.
Along the way, the ck sports car seemed as though it were driving on a road with no one at all. It continued speeding even as the police chased after it, sirens ring.
It sped all the way until it reached Heaven and Earth Mall.
There were a lot of police cars and policemen gathered in front. Upon seeing the sports car appear, they were all rmed.
After all, with so many policemen, everyone knew that something big was happening. Why would anyone dare toe over?
However, the ck sports car suddenly stopped in front of the policemen.
The car door opened and a handsome youth came out of the car. His expression was solemn and scary.

¡°Hey, who are you? You can¡¯te here!¡± a policeman came up to stop him and give him a warning.
Yin Shaojie stared at him coldly, ¡°Get outta my way!¡±
¡°This building has been hijacked. It¡¯s very dangerous now. You really can¡¯t go in! Stop! If youe any closer¡¡± The policeman kept stepping backward, his hand already on the holster.
Yin Shaojie ignored him and continued to walk forward.
He looked very dangerous, so a bunch of policemen came up and pointed their guns at him.
¡°If youe any closer, we will shoot!¡±
Yin Shaojie waspletely unintimidated and he said in a chilly manner, ¡°I sad get out of my way! I¡¯m going in now!¡±
The situation quickly attracted attention. One of them who looked like amander came over and recognized Yin Shaojie, ¡°Young Master Jie?¡±
Themander anxiously shouted to the policemen pointing their guns at him. ¡°Are you people mad? Put your guns down! Quickly! Do you know who he is?¡±
Then he ran in front of Yin Shaojie. ¡°Young Master Jie, why are you here in person? About the hijacking of the Heaven and Earth Mall, we will ¡¡±
¡°I want to go in now!¡± Yin Shaojie looked at him and said.
¡°Well¡¡± Themander was put on the spot as he said, ¡°Young Master Jie, I advise you not to go in. The situation inside is very dangerous now. Our people have exchanged fire with the perpetrators. They have superior weapons, and there are arge number of them. We¡¯re waiting for backup. I believe that we will be able to take down the robbers soon. Young Master Jie, please rest assured.¡±
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t be bothered to talk with him as he went straight for the main entrance.
¡°Young Master Jie? Young Master Jie!¡± Themander followed him. ¡°Young Master Jie, if you go in barehanded, it¡¯ll be really dangerous¡¡±
After Yin Shaojie was finished with the business in Student Union, he had driven over. He had originally just wanted to pick up Xiaoxiao but he didn¡¯t expect to hear of the building being hijacked. He hadn¡¯t had time to prepare any weapons.
He asked themander as he walked, ¡°What is the situation inside?¡±
Themander briefly exined the current situation.
Yin Shaojie frowned, looking up at the helicopters that were flying near the building. At first, he had thought that they were from the police, but it turned out that they were not.
There was a faint feeling of unease. Was Xiaoxiao safe?
Yin Shaojie said to themander, ¡°Give me a gun.¡±
Themanderughed bitterly. ¡°Young Master Jie, I really want to help you, but this isn¡¯t in line with the rules!¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t force him as he walked up to the building¡¯s entrance himself.
The ss door opened to let him in.
No matter how themander shouted to him from outside, he didn¡¯t look back.
¡
On the roof.
The helicopter gradually came closer and hovered in the air.
Below, a robber was shouting to instruct the helicopter tond so that the sniper couldn¡¯t target them.
The sniper was getting anxious. ¡°Zeye, what now?¡±
He reported the situation to the captain.
Jun Zeye looked solemn. He took out a handgun and a round object from his body.

¡°Find another sniping position. I¡¯ll sneak over there to check out the situation. If a chancees, I¡¯ll take down KO!¡±
¡°Be careful.¡± The sniper knew that this was the only viable option.
They couldn¡¯t just sit and watch as KO escaped on the helicopter, could they?
¡°Yeah,¡± Jun Zeye said softly. He stepped backward and left their hiding spot.
Outside, the sun was shining brightly.
He squinted as he looked up at the sky and thought about something.
Meanwhile.
The first helicopter hovered overhead and at themand of one of the robbers, it prepared to descend.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s breathing was rushed as she looked at Brother KO nervously.
Where was this person taking her?
No matter what the oue was, it couldn¡¯t be anything good for her.
What should she do?
Was there a chance for escape?
Mu Xiaoxiao bit her lip. There was a tight feeling in her chest as she thought about Yin Shaojie.
She thought about if he had already heard the news that the hostage situation and whether he were rushing over right now.
However, would he be able to save her?
Even if he could take down ten opponents at once, the perpetrators had more than thirty men, all with guns. Would he still be able to deal with them?
Though Mu Xiaoxiao was scared and really wanted to see Yin Shaojie, she wished that he would stay away.
Given Yin Shaojie¡¯s personality, he would definitely risk his life to save her.
But she didn¡¯t want him to be in danger!
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes were filled with tears.
Jie, don¡¯te. Don¡¯te¡
After a few moments, the helicopter safelynded. Brother KO looked at her and said, ¡°Miss Mu, please get in.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart quivered as she looked at the helicopter in front of her.
The other person who was handcuffed was still trying to struggle. He thought that he was going to be taken to the helicopter but, Brother KO motioned to theckeys to put him in the next helicopter.
What he meant was obvious. He would be taking Mu Xiaoxiao in the first helicopter.
Seeing that Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t moving, Brother KO smirked and said, ¡°Miss Mu, do you need me to use another method to ¡®escort¡¯ you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused and shook her head, saying, ¡°No need¡¡±
She took an arduous step. Her legs were jelly already so it was hard for her to lift up her legs.
But she didn¡¯t want the man to use the other method to get her into the helicopter.
The wind from the propeller was very strong and carried debris into the air.
A white stic bag flew behind them, passed the guardrail, and flew out of the building.
Unbeknown to everyone, a figure was lying just past the railing, both hands holding onto the edge of the guardrail as his whole body hung off the building.
The fall from there would definitely make mince meat out of him.
However, Jun Zeye was not at all afraid. His arms were like steel as he clung tightly on the edge of the guardrail.
Finally, he reached a spot behind the prepetrators.
The sound of the rotor was very noisy. It was hard for Jun Zeye to make out what they were saying, so it was difficult for him to determine when he should take action.
But¡ he couldn¡¯t wait any longer!
Jun Zeye clenched his teeth and with a burst of power, he pulled himself up over the guardrail.

The next second, he pulled out something from his pocket, pressed it, and threw it.
Bang! The smoke bomb exploded, and instantly there was a shroud of smoke.
However, the wind from the helicopter¡¯s rotor quickly blew away the smoke.
Jun Zeye could make use of the mere few seconds!
¡°Boss! Someone¡¯s¡¡± a robber shouted out and was shot by Jun Zeye, his head turned up, and he dropped to the ground.
Jun Zeye fired consecutive shots and killed several people surrounding him.
Then he rolled on the ground and avoided a few bullets. He rolled to a dead body nearby. Taking cover behind the body, he killed a few more of them.
¡°Who are you?¡± asked a cold voice.
Brother KO looked at Jun Zeye in front of him. Then his eyes turned quickly to see his twockeys lying on the floor and was filled with anger.
Jun Zeye stood up, raised his right hand, and pointed his gun at him.
¡°Let her go,¡± he said seriously, the icy look on him gave off amanding aura.
Brother KO smiled, the killing intent in his eyes was fully obvious, fuming with rage between gritted teeth as he said, ¡°Are you from special forces?¡±
He looked at Jun Zeye and noticed how straight he stood. He could tell immediately that this was someone who had underwent formal training, and given his terrifying skill, he could only be from the special forces.
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter who I am. What matters is¡¡± Jun Zeye paused deliberately. Then he smirked and said coldly, ¡°You¡¯re under arrest!¡±
Brother KO seemed to have heard a joke, ¡°I¡¯m under arrest? Hahahaha.¡±
In the midst of the confrontation, their exchange of stares was silent but extremely intense.
Brother KO tugged at the handcuffs and pulled Mu Xiaoxiao to him. Then he held up his handgun and pointed to her head. Cocking his head to the side, he smiled eerily at Jun Zeye and said, ¡°Don¡¯t forget. I still have hostages.¡±
Actually, he didn¡¯t expect that Mu Xiaoxiao would be so useful.
However, to KO, it was aplete embarrassment that he would have to resort to using hostages!
Frightened, the helicopter¡¯s pilot was hid behind. He didn¡¯t know what to do and shouted to Brother KO, ¡°Boss,e up quickly!¡±
Brother KO eyes were scarlet. Obviously, he was not very happy.
He had been doing these things for so many years, when was he ever in such a sorry state?
Suddenly, a smile came to his face. He held up the handgun, turned and aimed at Jun Zeye.
Jun Zeye was veryposed.
However, he actually walked forward step by step.
Brother KO smirked. Pointing the gun at Jun Zeye¡¯s head, he suddenly fired.
Bang¡ª¡ª
The shot flew out.
Jun Zeye was looking forward the whole time. When Brother KO was about to pull the trigger, his eyes shook slightly as if he knew where the bullet would hit.
Then he moved to the side, dodging the bullet.
Brother KO¡¯s widened for a moment. And heughed unusually. ¡°You¡¯re really good. What a waste of talent in the special forces.¡±
He suddenly remembered something. How did this person appear?
It was a very open roof, he should have been able to see him. There was no way he could have snuck past him.
Could it be¡
Brother KO¡¯s eyes turned to the guardrail behind him. His eyes narrowed, and he said, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that you climbed up from there.¡±
How could it be!
It was impossible for him to climb up given how the building was designed!
That was unless he was Spider-man.
Jun Zeye didn¡¯t want to talk drivel with him. Once again, he said coldly, ¡°Let her go.¡±
This time, the sniper appeared as well. Coming from the other side, he pointed the gun at the Brother KO.

¡°KO! You have nowhere to escape!¡±
¡°Come on!¡± Brother KO grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s shoulder, using her as cover. He backed up to the door to the helicopter¡¯s cabin.
The pilot poked his head out and shouted anxiously. ¡°Boss! What now?¡±
Brother KO told him, ¡°Contact the people below.¡±
The pilot paused, grim-faced as he looked to him and said, ¡°Boss¡ I was going to tell you that I can¡¯t contact them¡ It seems like something happened to them.¡±
¡°How is that possible!¡± Brother KO was startled. With his arrangement, the police couldn¡¯t have broken through so quickly.
The pilot frantically, ¡°I don¡¯t know what happened either.¡±
Because they were retreating on the roof, Brother KO had sent the more powerful guys down to deal with the police. What exactly happened downstairs?
Brother KO grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted into it, but no one answered him.
¡°Damn it!¡± he cursed. In his heart, he knew that their operation was aplete failure.
Bang!
A shot rang out.
Brother KO snapped out of it, dodging the bullet nimbly as he dove into the helicopter.
Mu Xiaoxiao fell to the other side.
Brother KO¡¯s eyes narrowed. Then he realized that the shot wasn¡¯t aimed at him but at the handcuff chain!
He looked at Jun Zeye.
This man was too smart. He knew that he might be able to dodge the bullets, so he didn¡¯t shoot him, but t the handcuffs instead.
Good. Very good.
He suddenly smiled and said, ¡°Miss Mu, we¡¯ll meet again!¡±
Then he turned and got in the helicopter which took off quickly.
¡°We can¡¯t let him escape!¡± the sniper shouted. He fired at the helicopter but he hit an inconsequential part.
¡°Give it to me.¡± Jun Zeye rushed over and took the sniper rifle from the sniper.
Holding up the sniper rifle, he didn¡¯t look through the scope as he simply gazed sharply at the slowly leaving helicopter.
His hands were steady as he followed the helicopter¡¯s trajectory.
Bang!
The bullet cut through the air, through the cockpit ss, and hit the pilot.
The pilot slumped to the side and the helicopter lost control.
Brother KO looked incredulously at Jun Zeye below, his pupils constricted as he clenched his teeth.
Although the sniper knew that Jun Zeye was a good shot, he was shocked.
The helicopter hadn¡¯t gained much altitude. After losing the pilot, it bumped into the building¡¯s wall.
¡°Not good!¡± the sniper suddenly shouted.
When the helicopter crashed and broke up, the propeller flew over and hit the billboard on the side.
The billboard teetered and began to topple over with Mu Xiaoxiao lying below it.
Jun Zeye¡¯s pupils constricted. He had already started running and threw himself onto her.
Bang! The billboard crashed and caught the two beneath it.
Frightened, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened. He looked at Jun Zeye on top of her, his back stubbornly holding up the heavy billboard.
The two looked at each other as though they were stuck together.
They were still.
Her hand pressed against his chest unconsciously clenched.
¡°Xiaoxiao!¡± A familiar voice was heard nearby.
Yin Shaojie ran over from the emergency exit door covered in injuries.

Seeing Xiaoxiao trapped underneath, his eyes widened and he ran over to her, shouting anxiously, ¡°Xiaoxiao!¡±
¡°Xiaoxiao! Are you okay? How are you holding up?¡± His eyes locked on Mu Xiaoxiao and he reached out to push the huge billboard to the side.
But the billboard was just too heavy. It could have been hundreds or even more than a thousand jin.
Yin Shaojie looked at Jun Zeye with aplicated expression.
How could he hold up such a heavy load?
After the sniper snapped out of his daze, he rushed over and shouted, ¡°Zeye! Are you okay?¡±
Jun Zeye was holding his breath and couldn¡¯t speak.
¡°Come and help! Let¡¯s lift this thing together!¡± the sniper said to Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie looked down at Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face, reached out to touch her forehead, and said, ¡°We¡¯ll get you out soon, don¡¯t worry.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded.
Yin Shaojie stood up and Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes unconsciously went back to Jun Zeye¡¯s face.
Their eyes met again.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly. Suddenly, she realized that her hand was still ced on his chest.
Her hand loosened a little and she felt Jun Zeye shaking.
Startled, she was afraid that he wouldn¡¯t be able to keep on holding the billboard, so she quickly pressed her hand against his chest.
¡°A-are you okay¡¡± she asked carefully.
The billboard was made of iron and looked heavy. She noticed that his arms were so tense that she could clearly see the veins in his muscles, but his expression remained unchanged.
Jun Zeye didn¡¯t answer her.
One person on each side, Yin Shaojie and the sniper almost used all their strength and finally lifted the billboard a little.
Jun Zeye felt the weighting off from his back and he said in deep and low voice, ¡°Hurry up and crawl out.¡±
¡°O-okay!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said.
Feeling that her limbs could move now, she crawled out.
When out she heaved a breath of relief.
¡°I¡¯ll pull you out¡¡± She held out her hand to help him.
Before she could finish speaking, Jun Zeye¡¯s arms that had been holding up the billboard let go and he fell to the ground. In a smooth rolling motion he rolled out.
Bang! The billboard was put down, throwing up a cloud of dust.
Seeing that Jun Zeye was fine, the sniper heaved a breath of relief. ¡°Zeye, how did you even hold it up? Isn¡¯t this thing at least a thousand jin?¡±
¡°No,¡± Jun Zeye replied to him mildly.
The sniper looked around and cast a curious nce at Yin Shaojie, and he asked quizzically, ¡°Where¡¯s the police? Why are you the only one here?¡±
¡°Downstairs,¡± Yin Shaojie casually replied. Then he rushed to Mu Xiaoxiao and carefully checked if she had been injured.
¡°I¡¯m fine. But why are you hurt all over?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head at him and became worried about him instead.
¡°It¡¯s just minor injuries.¡± Yin Shaojie smiled and pulled her into his arms. Feeling her in his arms again, his tense heart finally rxed.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t believe him. She wanted to see his injuries but he held her so tightly that she couldn¡¯t push him away.
She paused. Then her little arms wrapped around his back.
The sniper walked over to Jun Zeye to check on his injury, afraid that he suffered internal injuries from the crushing load.

Jun Zeye said that he was fine.
The sniper went closer to him and whispered, ¡°Who is this man? How did he get up? Where did the police go? Why don¡¯t I see a single one here?¡±
Jun Zeye¡¯s stoic face didn¡¯t reveal what he was thinking. His eyes were solemn as he looked at the two.
¡°He came up unapanied.¡± Though it was just a guess, his tone was resolute.
¡°What?¡± The sniper thought that he had misheard. ¡°He came up alone? No way! Isn¡¯t there a lot of KO¡¯sckeys downstairs?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Jun Zeye apparently couldn¡¯t be bothered to exin. He retracted his gaze and went toward the emergency exit.
¡°Hey! Wait for me!¡±
The sniper quickly followed after him.
¡
Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao went down to the first floor and saw that many policemen were handling the scene.
The others who had been locked up were released. They all still wore the traumatized expressions as they hurried out, wanting to get out of there as soon as possible.
Although the robbers were restrained, there were still many bombs in the building yet to be removed.
When the highest rankingmander of the operation saw Yin Shaojie, he hurried over, his expressionplicated. Seeing his injuries, he asked, ¡°Young Master Jie, are you okay? Do we need to send you to the hospital?¡±
¡°I¡¯m fine. I don¡¯t need it,¡± Yin Shaojie said. His solemn eyes looked at themander and he said, ¡°Thanks to the police¡¯s rescue the robbers could be subdued and the crisis resolved.¡±
The highestmander smiled because he understood what he meant.
¡°Of course, of course. That¡¯s our job.¡±
¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll be going first.¡±
Yin Shaojie politely nodded to him and put his arm around Mu Xiaoxiao before walking to the entrance.
The highestmander said, ¡°Young Master Jie, please take care.¡±
A policeman went up to the highestmander and looked at Yin Shaojie leaving. Then he said quizzically, ¡°Chief, he was clearly the one who took down those-¡±
The highestmander red at him. ¡°Do you still need me to teach you what ought to be said and what ought not to be said? Tell everyone that none of this should leak out! Young Master Jie only entered the building and didn¡¯t do anything. The operation¡¯s sess is a result of the police¡¯s efforts. Do you understand?¡±
¡°Understood!¡±
Meanwhile.
¡°Xiaoxiao!¡±
As Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie were about to leave the building, they heard someone calling her name.
Immediately, a figure came dashing up to her and held her hand.
¡°Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re fine! That¡¯s great! You really scared me!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s expression was a little distracted as she looked at Han Qiqing.
¡°Qiqing, are you okay?¡±
Han Qiqing went up to hug her, her eyes wet. She sobbed and said, ¡°I¡¯m the one worrying about you. You were taken away by the robbers. Did he do anything to you? It¡¯s all my fault. I couldn¡¯t stop him. I¡¯m sorry, Xiaoxiao¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled. She hit Qiqing¡¯s head lightly and said, ¡°Are you silly? Why are you saying sorry? How can I me you? Alright, it¡¯s good that we¡¯re both okay.¡±
¡°Yeah, I¡¯m d that we¡¯re okay.¡± Han Qiqing smiled and nodded.
The two hugged each other affectionately.
¡°I¡¯m gonna kill you both!¡±
A sharp voice suddenly called out, disturbing the beautiful moment.

Zhang Shuyao looked like a mad woman. Her shirt was messy and there were red hand prints on her face. She rushed toward them with threatening gestures.
Yin Shaojie put Mu Xiaoxiao behind him and looked at her with a chilly gaze. ¡°Who are you?¡±
¡°Who are you? Step aside! It¡¯s all because of these two sluts. It not for them, would that disgusting man have¡¡± Zhang Shuyao grit her teeth resentfully, her lips were red from biting them, and her eyes were full of rage. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you save me? Why didn¡¯t you save me!¡±
Mr. Zhang was giving his statement to the police. Upon seeing what was happening, he rushed over.
He quickly grabbed Zhang Shuyao and said, ¡°Yaoyao! What are you doing!¡±
Zhang Shuyao cried resentfully. ¡°It¡¯s all their fault for not saving me! Boohoo, it¡¯s all their fault!¡±
Initially, Han Qiqing sympathized with her for being defiled by the robbers, but upon seeing how she was pushing the me onto them, she felt that Zhang Shuyao¡¯s usations were ridiculous.
¡°Get the facts straight. You were the one who provoked him!¡±
¡°It was you two! You didn¡¯t save me! You could have saved me! Why didn¡¯t you save me? Why! It¡¯s your fault!¡± Zhang Shuyao wasn¡¯t even listening as she shouted. She was out of control and wanted to hit the two of them.
Han Qiqing was furious. ¡°How could we have saved you? We were hostages too! What could we have done?¡±
Did she expect them to risk their own safety to save her?
How could she ask that of them?
¡°I don¡¯t care! Nothing happened to you two. I was the only one that was¡ I don¡¯t care! It¡¯s your fault! Your fault! You two didn¡¯t save me! You¡¯ll die a horrible death!¡± Zhang Shuyao continued to pester them.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s brows were furrowed tightly as he pieced together the situation.
He looked at Mr. Zhang coldly. ¡°Take her away. Don¡¯t make me repeat myself.¡±
Mr. Zhang was startled. He stared at him in a daze. ¡°Are you¡ Are you Young Master Yin?¡±
After recognizing Yin Shaojie, he was astonished. He quickly grabbed Zhang Shuyao. Seeing that she was still trying to get at his Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing, he pped her.
Pah!
It was a forceful p. Zhang Shuyao¡¯s went to the side. Suddenly it was quiet.
¡°You idiot! What are you shouting about! Hurry up and apologize to Young Master Yin.¡±
¡°Yin¡¡± Hearing that, Zhang Shuyao started to be more rational. Her eyes widened as she looked at Yin Shaojie.
Yin?
Could it be¡ the Yin family of the Big Four Families?
Zhang Shuyao gasped. Her hands were shaking. ¡°You are¡ Yin Shaojie?¡±
She then noticed that Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm was around Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s waist, carefully protecting her.
¡°You¡ you and her¡¡±
Mr. Zhang had been trying to hold back Zhang Shuyao, fearing that she might cause further trouble. He also noticed how intimately Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie were behaving.
Han Qiqing cast a nce at Zhang Shuyao andughed, ¡°You¡¯re trying to ask what their rtionship is, right? Xiaoxiao is Yin Shaojie¡¯s precious girlfriend!¡±
She couldn¡¯t tell them about her being of the Mu Family, but she could at least mention that she was Yin Shaojie¡¯s girlfriend, right?
Mr. Zhang was shocked.
Zhang Shuyao¡¯s face turned pale.
Mu Xiaoxiao tugged at Yin Shaojie¡¯s shirt and whispered to him, ¡°I want to go home.¡±
Looking sympathetically at the tired look on her face, he knew that she was exhausted and didn¡¯t wish to stay here. Thus, he stopped entertaining the Zhangs and the two walked away.

After enjoying the look on Zhang Shuyao¡¯s face, Han Qiqing purposely reminded her, ¡°Be careful, okay? This guy, Yin Shaojie, likes to defend people close to him even if they are in the wrong. If he were to find out that you bullied Xiaoxiao¡¡±
Han Qiqing mischievously left the sentence hanging. Then she waved her hand at Mr. Zhang and Zhang Shuyao, turned around, and went to catch up with Xiaoxiao.
¡
¡°You weren¡¯t at the scene. Zeye¡¯s shooting was just amazing!¡±
In an apartment, a group of men sat in a circle on the ground. Lots of beer bottles were ced in the center. The sniper was raving about Jun Zeye¡¯s glorious achievements.
¡°What¡¯s there to hype? When we were training in the special forces, Zeye was already good at shooting. He already reached the level of a¡ a god! But it¡¯s not too difficult to shoot through the hole in the ss,¡± one of them said.
The sniper red at him. ¡°It was on a helicopter! The helicopter had taken off already and the sun was in his eyes. You call that not too difficult? I¡¯d like to see you do it.¡±
The man shrugged, spread open his hand, and said, ¡°I¡¯m not Zeye. Of course I can¡¯t do it.¡±
¡°What a load of shit!¡±
Another guy tugged at the sniper¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s not keep talking about this. We all know Zeye is good. Let¡¯s change the topic. Didn¡¯t Zeye risk his life to save a babe? Give us the details! What happened to the babe in the end? Was she so touched that she wanted to give herself to him?¡±
¡°No¡¡± The sniper looked disappointed. ¡°The babe has a boyfriend.¡±
They all groaned.
The sniper leaned forward, looked at them in a mysterious fashion, and said softly, ¡°The way I see it, Zeye seems to fancy this girl. When they looked at each other, something didn¡¯t feel right.¡±
¡°Zeye took fancy to that babe?¡± The others spected.
One of them was very bold. He looked up and shouted at Jun Zeye, who was standing at the balcony, ¡°Zeye! Tell us. Did you like that babe earlier today?¡±
Jun Zeye didn¡¯t give any response.
¡°Zeye?¡± the man shouted again.
Still, he didn¡¯t respond.
They were all perplexed.
It couldn¡¯t be, right?
Zeye was in a daze?
How rare!
One of them called out to Ning Ruyan, ¡°Young Master Ning, talk to him! This guy is actually in a daze. He¡¯s not dreaming about the babe from earlier, is he?¡±
The guys immediately smiled suggestively.
Ning Ruyan was standing right beside Jun Zeye. Wearing a pair of gold-rimmed sses, he looked gentle and cultured, and gave off an air of nobility.
He smiled. Instead of disturbing Jun Zeye, he said to them, ¡°Don¡¯t you know? Zeye¡¯s heart belongs to someone else. How can he fall for another girl?¡±
¡°For real? Why don¡¯t I know about this?¡±
¡°Hehe, I know about this!¡±
¡°Which girl is it? Hurry up and tell me.¡±
The group started drinking and gossiping again.
Ning Ruyan turned back and looked at Jun Zeye. In a teasing manner, he said, ¡°You¡¯re really in a daze?¡±
Jun Zeye replied mildly, ¡°No.¡±
Ning Ruyan could tell that there was something off with him, but he didn¡¯t want to talk about it.
Thus, he changed the subject and asked casually, ¡°Is there anything going on tomorrow? If not¡¡±
Before he could finish speaking, Jun Zeye replied, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m going to school.¡±
Ning Ruyan was startled and heughed, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re going to ss.¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Jun Zeye really nodded.
Ning Ruyan stared nkly. ¡°You¡¯re not sick, are you? Didn¡¯t you want to avoid going to school? I remember that you only went once at the start of school and then you never went again.¡±
Chapter 1346 - The Mysterious Deskmate (116)

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Yeah.¡± Jun Zeye took a sip of beer and gazed into the distance.
Having known him for so long, this was the first time that Ning Ruyan had seen him so pensive.
What was he thinking about?
Or perhaps the better question would be: who was he thinking about?
Ning Ruyan didn¡¯t ask why he suddenly wanted to go to ss but he teased him. ¡°If I remember correctly, you went to Shangde yesterday to drop out, right? Why did you change your mind?¡±
Jun Zeye looked at him and gave no reply.
Ningru shrugged and said understandingly, ¡°Forget it if you don¡¯t want to talk about it, but there is one thing I have to remind you about.¡±
¡°What?¡± asked Jun Zeye.
Ning Ruyan smirked, pointed to where he would wear his holster and said, ¡°You don¡¯t you have to take a gun to school, do you? Don¡¯t take out your gun and scare your ssmates likest time. They are ordinary people. If you scare them like that, they might get traumatized.¡±
¡°They were too noisy,¡± Jun Zeye said in a calm expression. Thinking back to the time when school started, the girls seemed crazy as they surrounded him. Like sparrows, they chattered continuously. They were so noisy that even when he expressed his disinterest, they still wouldn¡¯t go away. In the end, he had no choice but to take out his gun to scare them.
Ning Ruyan put his hand on his shoulder and urged him earnestly, ¡°Bro, if you keep this up, no one will want to be friends with you. School is a much moreplicated ce than the special forces. Please don¡¯t be loner, alright?¡±
When they were undergoing special training in the special forces, Jun Zeye was a lone ranger but luckily, he saved a few guys in the team on one mission, bringing them all closer.
Jun Zeye said aloofly, ¡°I didn¡¯t intend to make friends with them.¡±
¡°But you can¡¯t-¡± Ning Ruyan still wanted to coax him, but his cell phone rang.
He gestured to Jun Zeye, telling him to wait as he answered the call.
After hearing what the other party said, Ning Ruyan¡¯s gentle expression turned grim, and he replied solemnly, ¡°Okay, let me know if you hear any news. Thanks.¡±
Hanging up the phone, he turned to Jun Zeye and said, ¡°We couldn¡¯t find KO¡¯s body. He may have escaped.¡±
Jun Zeye didn¡¯t seem to surprised. He tilted his head back and took a sip of the beer. Then he said mildly, ¡°No surprise.¡±
If he died so easily, he wouldn¡¯t be KO.
¡
At the Yin residence.
The curtains were closed and it was dark in the room. Mu Xiaoxiao was lying on the bed, looking as though she were asleep.
The door opened and Mama Yin poked her head through a little. Just when she was about to enter, a hand from behind her pulled her back.
¡°Ma,¡± Yin Shaojie whispered.
Mama Yin looked back at him and grumbled, ¡°Why are you pulling me? I was going to go in and see Xiaoxiao. She has been in bed ever since she got back. Poor child. She must have been quite frightened. ¡±
Thinking of Xiaoxiao¡¯s encounter, Mama Yin felt sorry for her and she wanted to go in immediately tofort her.
¡°No, she¡¯s probably just tired. Let her rest. Don¡¯t disturb her.¡± Yin Shaojie grabbed the handle and gently closed the door. He held his mother¡¯s shoulder and led her away .
¡°Even if she¡¯s tired, she still has to eat, right? Since Xiaoxiao had been sleeping for so long, wake her up to eat something. I¡¯m afraid that she might get hungry. She is your wife. Aren¡¯t you worried?¡± Mama Yin said disapprovingly.

¡°I didn¡¯t say I¡¯m not worried. I was just telling you not to worry. I¡¯ll take care of Xiaoxiao. You should go down first. I¡¯ll go and see her myself.¡± Yin Shaojie told her to go downstairs and he returned to the room where Xiaoxiao was.
He walked up to the bed and saw that Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes were open.
She was lying on her side, her eyes staring nkly into the distance. Obviously, she was in a daze.
Yin Shaojie knelt on the bed, lifted up the nket, andid down beside her, hisrge palm stroking her hair.
¡°You¡¯re awake?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head around and looked at him. She shook her head and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t sleep.¡±
¡°You were frightened, huh?¡± His long fingers helped her to arrange her messy bangs.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, nodded, and muttered, ¡°A little¡¡±
She didn¡¯t expect anyone to realize who she was. At that moment, she had a real fright.
Yin Shaojie sighed heavily. ¡°There is something I have to tell you. It is bad news.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him, her eyes filled with unease. ¡°What bad news?¡±
¡°That person is probably still alive.¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes looked solemn and a sharp gleam flitted across his eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared nkly. ¡°Didn¡¯t he¡ The helicopter crashed. He¡¯s still not dead?¡±
Yin Shaojie also didn¡¯t like the news. KO knew her identity and tried to take her away. No matter what his objective was, he had malicious intent toward Xiaoxiao.
¡°The helicopter probably had tools for escape. The police couldn¡¯t find his body. They also searched nearby ces but there was no trace of him.¡±
Upon hearing the bad news, Mu Xiaoxiao looked gloomy. She reached over and hugged him, snuggling her head against his chest.
She said pitiably, ¡°He¡¯s scary. His eyes were like that of a venomous snake. When he stared at me it gave me the creeps.¡±
Yin Shaojie wrapped his long arm around her, his lips pressed against her cheek as he kissed her gently.
¡°I¡¯ll find a way to find him. You¡¯ll be fine.¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Of course she believed in him.
After they hugged for a while, Mu Xiaoxiao looked up at him with herrge, ck eyes and said, ¡°I remembered something. When I lost my memory, we saw Jun Zeye in the back alley of a bar, right?¡±
Yin Shaojie nodded. ¡°Yeah.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°I knew it. When I saw him for the first time, I thought he looked familiar. It seemed like I saw him somewhere before.¡±
¡°After he saved you without regard for his own safety, I thought you would be more worried about his injury,¡± Yin Shaojie said deliberately, with some jealousy in his tone.
¡°Ah!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to have just remembered something. ¡°Oh yeah! His injury! I wonder if his injury is okay.¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at her unhappily. ¡°Hey!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled and she poked her head over to kiss him on the face. ¡°Geez, at least he saved me. If it weren¡¯t for him, the big, heavy billboard would have turned me into a meat patty and you wouldn¡¯t be able to hold me now.¡±
Indeed, Jun Zeye saved her life. Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t say otherwise and deep down he respected Jun Zeye for saving his wife.
Things could have ended much worse.

¡°Can you be smarter next time? Do you know how worried I was?¡± He red at her and went to pinch her cheek.
Mu Xiaoxiao puffed up her cheeks. ¡°It¡¯s not like I wanted it to happen. But I was just so unlucky to get involved in this incident.¡±
Actually, she had a strange feeling. She had been bumping into Jun Zeye recently. Were they fated to run into each other?
Of course, she didn¡¯t dare to say this lest Yin Shaojie get jealous again.
Yin Shaojie held her face, lowered his head, and kissed her on the lips.
At first, it was just a light kiss.
Their eyes met. Something seemed to stir as they stared at each other and it made him feel like going deeper with the kiss.
Just as he was going to stick his tongue in, they heard the sound of the door being pushed open.
¡°Xiaoxiao, are you awake?¡±
Initially, Yin Shaojie felt like blowing up, but upon hearing that it was his mother¡¯s voice, Yin Shaojie sighed.
He let go of Xiaoxiao, lifted the nket, and got up.
Mama Yin walked in carrying a tray. There was a bowl of porridge and a te of fruit on the tray. She had even cut the fruits into small pieces with toothpicks stuck in the fruit.
¡°Xiaoxiao, you must be hungry, right? Come, have some porridge and your favorite strawberries.¡±
Mama Yin walked past Yin Shaojie and to the side of the bed.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly got up to get out of bed. ¡°Mama Yin, sorry that you have to worry about me. I¡¯m fine. I just feel very tired.¡±
¡°You have been sleeping for so many hours. You really scared Mama Yin.¡± Mama Yin¡¯s eyes were filled with worry. Seeing that Xiaoxiao wasing down from the bed, she stopped her and told her to just sit there.
Mama Yin gestured to Yin Shaojie with a nce, ¡°Bring a chair over for me.¡±
Yin Shaojie was very obedient as he went to bring a chair over.
Mama Yin sat down and took the porridge to feed Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or cry. She recoiled backwards, reaching out to receive the bowl. ¡°I¡¯ll do it myself.¡±
¡°What¡¯s there to be shy about? I¡¯ve been feeding you ever since you were young. Mama Yin hasn¡¯t fed you in a long time. Let me feed you, okay? Alright?¡± Mama Yin said in a pleading tone so that Mu Xiaoxiao would not be able to refuse her.
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded.
Mama Yin was happy. She picked up a spoonful of porridge and blew it a little before she brought it to her mouth.
Mu Xiaoxiao ate half the bowl. Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, ¡°Mama Yin, I¡¯m full.¡±
Mama Yin put down the porridge and picked up the te of fruit. ¡°Have some strawberries, then. They¡¯re all freshly picked. Mama Yin knows that strawberries are your favorites, so I instructed them to nt some at home. Try some.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao felt warm in the stomach. She also felt warmth in her heart. Her smile was restored to its usual liveliness.
She eximed, ¡°This was grown at home?¡±
She picked up one to taste it. It was really sweet, so sweet that it moved her.
¡°Mama Yin, you¡¯re so good! I love you the most.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was so moved that she went up to hug her tightly.
¡°Baby, I love you too.¡± Mama Yin hugged her. Her smile was affectionate as if Xiaoxiao were her own baby.
In her heart, Xiaoxiao had always been like a daughter to Mama Yin.
Thus, when she learned Xiaoxiao was involved in the robbery, she was so upset and worried. Now that Xiaoxiao was out of that mess Mama Yin did her best tofort her.
Standing at the end of the bed, Yin Shaojie smiled at the sight of his mother and his fiance hugging.
Mu Xiaoxiao continued to rest in the room.
Mama Yin called Yin Shaojie out, looking as though she had something important to discuss.
¡°Ma, what is it?¡± Yin Shaojie asked quizzically.

Mama Yin made a hushing gesture, grabbed his hand, and took him downstairs.
Once the two of them were seated on the sofa, she whispered, ¡°Xiaoxiao¡¯s birthday ising up soon. I think we should bring her back to America to celebrate. I feel that it¡¯d be better that way.¡±
Originally, the n was to celebrate Xiaoxiao¡¯s birthday in China, but after the hostage incident she wanted Xiaoxiao to be happy.
After all, the hostage situation might have been a warning from the Heavens.
Mama Yin continued, ¡°There are still a few days before the 20th December. Let¡¯s go to the United States now. There¡¯s time to arrange things.¡±
Yin Shaojie looked down, deep in thought, his gaze heavy.
After a while, he nodded and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay if we go to America too. Papa Mu is also there, anyway. He¡¯s busy so we shouldn¡¯t let hime all the way here and go back. Also, Xiaoxiao has many friends in America.¡±
¡°It¡¯s settled, then.¡± Mama Yin cemented the decision.
Yin Shaojie looked up the stairs and said, ¡°We should ask Xiaoxiao what she thinks too.¡±
¡°Yes, yes, we should ask her what she thinks.¡±
Mama Yin thought that Xiaoxiao would definitely agree.
¡
Meanwhile, in a condominium.
A group of men were sitting together. The amount of liquor being consumed was off-the-charts, especially because they had trained together in the special forces.
¡°There¡¯s no more beer. Who¡¯s buying next?¡± someone called out.
¡°I¡¯m not going anymore. I already did so twice.¡±
¡°Same here.¡±
Some of the men were already a little drunk. They staggered and threw themselves onto the sofa.
Jun Zeye looked at them and walked over. ¡°I¡¯ll go get the beer.¡±
Ning Ruyan walked up. Lifting up the empty bottle in his hand, he threw it into the trash can.
He smiled and looked at Jun Zeye. ¡°I¡¯ll apany you.¡±
¡°Young Master Ning, we¡¯ve finished the meat too. Call for delivery to order some more.¡±
¡°I want to eat crayfish too.¡±
¡°I want some pizza.¡±
They didn¡¯t hold back as they started to order food one by one.
Ning Ruyan red at them. ¡°Do you not have hands? Call for delivery yourselves!¡±
¡°So, Young Master Ning, who¡¯s going to pay? You¡¯re the richest one here, so you can¡¯t let us poor people pay.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, we¡¯re really, really poor.¡±
Ning Ruyan shook his head helplessly. Walking over to his coat, he took out his wallet and threw it to them. ¡°Settle it yourselves!¡±
¡°Long live Young Master Ning!¡±
Ning Ruyan walked over and looped his arm around Jun Zeye¡¯s shoulder and the two of them walked down the stairs together.
The area was luxurious and there was arge supermarket in front of them.
Just as they were almost at the door of the supermarket, they passed by a cake shop.
Jun Zeye halted in his steps suddenly and stared at the cakes through the ss.
Ning Ruyan retraced his steps and followed his gaze. He saw a strawberry cake that looked like it would appeal to girls.
He teased, ¡°If those guys knew that you liked to eat strawberry cake, their illusion of you would probably be shattered. They think of you as their idol.¡±
Jun Zeye continued to stare at the cake.
Ning Ruyan said, ¡°Just buy it if you want to eat it. You can always finish it here before going back.¡±
¡°No, I just want to look at it,¡± Jun Zeye said mildly.
Ning Ruyan looked at him curiously. ¡°You just want to look at it? Why are you looking at a cake?¡±
Jun Zeye said, ¡°I just suddenly remembered that my birthday is almost here.¡±
¡°Your birthday is almost here? When is it?¡± Ning Ruyan was a little surprised, for even though he had known Jun Zeye for such a long time, this was the first time that he had heard him talk about his birthday.
Jun Zeye looked at the strawberry cake through the ss window. In a low voice, he said, ¡°The 20th of December.¡±

Ning Ruyan put his hand on Jun Zeye¡¯s shoulder, gazed at the sky, andmented, ¡°Time flies. You¡¯re 17 years old already¡ I still remember back when I met you in the special forces¡¡±
Jun Zeye looked away from the cake. Apparently, he wasn¡¯t too interested in reminiscing the past with his friend because he continued walking forward.
Ning Ruyan quickly caught up to him. ¡°Hey! Every time I bring up the past, you don¡¯t want to hear it. You¡¯re a strange guy. Why don¡¯t you like to reminisce the past?¡±
¡°What¡¯s the point?¡± Jun Zeye cast a nce at him.
Ning Ruyan rubbed his nose and coughed. ¡°It¡¯s only you who thinks it¡¯s pointless. You don¡¯t want to waste time reminiscing about past, but it doesn¡¯t mean that it¡¯s meaningless. Well, let¡¯s not talk about it then. Let¡¯s go buy beer.¡±
The two got onto the esctor in the supermarket.
Ning Ruyan looked at him and asked, ¡°If I were to propose to celebrate your birthday, you wouldn¡¯t agree to it, right?¡±
Jun Zeye said, ¡°Don¡¯t tell anyone about it.¡±
He didn¡¯t know what was the matter with him to suddenly talk about his birthday.
He shouldn¡¯t have talked about that.
Ning Ruyan understood what he meant. He made a zipping motion at his lips and then gave him an OK gesture. ¡°Alright! This is a secret between us. I definitely won¡¯t let anyone know about hits.¡±
¡°Yeah,¡± Jun Zeye replied mildly.
The handrail was very long and they continued to move upwards.
They kept quiet and stopped the idle chatter.
Ning Ruyan was adjusting his hairstyle as he looked at the mirror on the wall.
Jun Zeye looked around. Something caught his eye.
When they got to the supermarket, Ning Ruyan pushed a shopping cart and went straight to the beer section.
After getting some beer he also went to get some snacks.
When passing through the dessert section, Ning Ruyan turned to ask him, ¡°Do you want to buy a cake?¡±
Jun Zeye ignored him, continued walking forward, and picked up a spoon on the shelf.
Perplexed, Ning Ruyan asked, ¡°Why do you want to buy a spoon?¡±
¡°I¡¯m just browsing.¡± Jun Zeye looked at him and put the metal spoon back.
From his expression, Ning Ruyan seemed to realize something and he smiled and said, ¡°Take it if you like. We¡¯ll buy two, one for each of us.¡±
With that said, he took the two spoons from the shelf and put it in the shopping cart.
¡°What else do you want to buy?¡± he asked Jun Zeye.
¡°Nothing else. Let¡¯s go.¡± Jun Zeye said casually.
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll get some Lou Mei dishes, then.¡±
The two pushed the shopping cart to check out.
They had two full bags of items. Ning Ruyan carried one in each hand while Jun Zeye carried nothing.
The two exited the supermarket and went separate ways.
The neighborhood was a beautiful and verdant environment.
Jun Zeye was holding his cell phone, looking as though he were making a call as he walked into a small pavilion nearby.
A ck shadow followed behind him.
However, Jun Zeye disappeared right under his nose.
¡°Who are you!¡± An arm tapped on the man¡¯s shoulder.
Shocked, the man reflexively turned back and threw a punch.
However, Jun Zeye hooked the man¡¯s arm and with a backhand press, he held the man to the pir.
¡°Who are you? Why are you following me?¡± Jun Zeye asked coldly.
The man suddenly panicked and feigned ignorance. ¡°What are you talking about? When did I ever follow you? I don¡¯t even know you! Let go of me or I¡¯ll call the police! Help, someone¡¯s trying to kill me!¡±
Chapter 1351 - The Mysterious Deskmate (121)

Seeing that he was quick to adapt, Jun Zeye smirked. With a skillful use of force, he pushed his knee into a certain spot on the man¡¯s body causing him to scream out in pain.
¡°Ah! it hurts! Let me go, let me go! I beg you, let me go! I¡¯ll tell, I¡¯ll tell you everything!¡±
¡°Tell me,¡± Jun Zeye said.
¡°I¡ I really didn¡¯t follow you. What do you want me to say?¡± The man¡¯s whimpering tone was pitiable.
Jun Zeye didn¡¯t have time to waste on him. This time, he made the other party scream repeatedly.
The man burst into tears and cried, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you! For real this time!¡±
Jun Zeye loosened his grip. He pushed the man forward, pressing him against the edge of the pavilion. Below was a small pond with lovely carp swimming around.
The man¡¯s eyes darted around. Then he said slowly, ¡°So¡ so it goes like this¡ I¡¯m a private detective. There is a girl who is a resident here. She has taken a fancy to you and wanted to find out more about you, so she asked me to tail you¡ I really mean no harm!¡±
As though he was afraid that Jun Zeye wouldn¡¯t believe what he said, the man added, ¡°I¡¯m really not lying! I¡¯ll tell you the same thing no matter how you interrogate me!¡±
Jun Zeye let go of him and said coldly, ¡°Scram.¡±
The man rolled and crawled as he frantically ran away. As he was running away, he bumped into someone. He didn¡¯t see clearly who it was as he climbed up and continued running.
Ning Ruyan walked over carrying two bags in his hands. Though they were clearly very heavy, it seemed as though he wasn¡¯t carrying anything.
He walked over andughed, ¡°You should have scared him. You have a hundred ways to force a confession out of him. Those interrogations back in the days in special forces were really the shit.¡±
Jun Zeye looked at him, smirked, and said, ¡°That doesn¡¯t sound like what you said when you were being interrogated.¡±
Reminded of what actually happened, Ning Ruyan¡¯s face contorted.
¡°Let¡¯s not talk about that, okay?¡±
Ning Ruyan quickly changed the subject and said, ¡°He even came up with such a bad lie. It seems that the person who used him isn¡¯t too clever.¡±
Jun Zeye nced in the direction the man disappeared in. ¡°Maybe the person is not concerned that I might find out.¡±
Ning Ruyan said, ¡°I think the person is underestimating you.¡±
¡°Alright. Let¡¯s go,¡± Jun Zeye said as he walked out.
¡°Wait for me! Hey, I¡¯m carrying two heavy bags, help me, alright?¡± Ning Ruyan grumbled behind him but he caught up to him in about two to three steps.
The two returned to the apartment.
The band of brothers looked up and mored for beer.
After throwing the two bags of beer to the bunch of alcoholics, the two entered the study together.
After turning on the tablet, a shing dot on the map on the screen.
Ning Ruyan sat with his legs up on the leather sofa and asked. ¡°Who do you think sent him to tail you?¡±
He had put a tracker with wiretapping capabilities on that man so if everything went ording to n, the answer would be revealed soon.
The reason that they went separate paths was to find out who the target was following.
Now that they had found out that it was Jun Zeye they were following, the moreplicated problem was understanding the motive.
¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± Jun Zeye said.
Ning Ruyan , ¡°You don¡¯t know? Try to remember. Is it your enemy fromst time? Or is it someone else with a grudge?¡±
Chapter 1352 - The Mysterious Deskmate (122)
Chapter 1352: The Mysterious Deskmate (122)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°It¡¯s not KO, is it? Could he have realized that he is the reason you came to City A?¡±
Jun Zeye gave the same reply again, ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±
Ning Ruyan fell back onto the sofa in defeat. ¡°Aright, I get you now. You¡¯re not going to talk about things that you are yet to be certain of.¡±
He knew that Jun Zeye had been analyzing the issue. It was just that he hadn¡¯t gotten evidence, so he wouldn¡¯t be too quick to say anything of it.
The two stared at the red dot on the map and watched where as it moved.
The private detective made a call along the way, but it didn¡¯t expose who the client was.
After a while, someone pushed open the door and entered and he saw the two squeezing together on the sofa.
¡°What are you two doing in the room? So mysterious.¡±
The man seemed a little drunk as he walked over to them unsteadily.
¡°Young Master Ning, Zeye,e out and drink! The food has arrived¡ Uh, Young Master Ning, they emptied your wallet¡ So if you two aren¡¯ting out to eat, they¡¯ll finish everything.¡±
¡°We¡¯ll go out in a while. You guys can eat first,¡± Ning Ruyan said. Seeing him walking over to them, he lifted his leg and kicked the man away.
As the guy wasn¡¯t standing steadily, he fell onto the carpet and climbed up clumsily to his feet.
He belched and said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go out. Why do you have to kick me¡ Young Master Ning¡ You two¡ are not¡ up to¡ some secretive¡ stuff¡ are you¡¡±
Ning Ruyan said in a huff, ¡°That¡¯s right! Get out and eat. Aren¡¯t you afraid that they¡¯ll finish everything themselves?¡±
¡°Oh, right.¡± Hearing that, the guy walked away staggering from side to side.
Jun Zeye had totally ignored their conversation as he kept staring at the red dot.
¡°It stopped,¡± he said.
The red dot stopped at a position for a while, indicating that the target had already reached his destination.
After some time.
Jun Zeye and Ning Ruyan came out of the study.
Coming out into the living room, the band of brothers turned their heads in unison and looked at them with curious expressions.
¡°You two¡ cough. What secretive stuff were you two doing?¡±
Ning Ruyan rolled his eyes at them, and threw them a kick. ¡°Are you guys off your meds? If you¡¯re sick, go and get treated. Get out of here!¡±
¡°Sorry, Young Master Ning, it¡¯s our fault. Don¡¯t drive us away. How rare it is for us to be able to eat delicious food and drink together!¡±
¡°Yeah, Young Master Ning. How about we go out for a big meal tonight? It¡¯s a rare asion that we cane together.¡±
Ning Ruyan put on a fake smile. ¡°Big meal? Who¡¯s treating?¡±
Everyone pointed to him.
Ning Ruyan picked up the wallet left on the coffee table and showed it to them. ¡°It¡¯s empty. How am I going to treat?¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay, you have a card! There¡¯s more money on the card!¡±
¡°Yeah! When you swipe the card, it¡¯ll show how generous you are, right? Young Master Ning?¡±
¡°Yeah!¡±
Ning Ruyan rolled his eyes at them and threw himself onto the sofa in resignation.
Jun Zeye sat on the corner of the sofa.
Ning Ruyan slowly scooted over, cast a nce at the others, and then leaned close to Jun Zeye¡¯s ear. He whispered bitterly, ¡°If I were to tell them that you are richer than me, would you beat me up?¡±
Jun Zeye looked at him and uttered, ¡°Yes.¡±
Ning Ruyan whimpered and hugged a pillow, looking pitiable.
You¡¯re all bullying me!
¡
The next day.
A silver Bugatti drove into Shangde High, catching everyone¡¯s attention.

When the girls saw that it was Yin Shaojie inside, they were especially excited.
¡°Young Master Jie! Young Master Jie is so cool! If he gave me a ride in his car, I¡¯d die happy!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. Don¡¯t you see who is sitting inside? That¡¯s Mu Xiaoxiao, Young Master Jie¡¯s girl. Young Master Jie would be willing to give up the whole forest of trees just for her.¡±
¡°Boohoo, why is Mu Xiaoxiao so lucky to capture Young Master Jie¡¯s heart? I¡¯m so envious, jealous, and angry!¡±
¡°Being envious is useless. Getting jealous is useless too. Being angry is even more useless!¡±
¡°What is useful then? I also want to have a perfect boyfriend like Young Master Jie¡¡±
¡°Keep dreaming!¡±
The Bugatti stopped in the parking lot. The door opened and Yin Shaojie got out of the car, walked to the front passenger seat and pulled the door open. He helped a fine-looking girl out of the car.
¡°Xiaoxiao?¡± he called out.
Mu Xiaoxiao snapped out of her daze and their eyes met. ¡°Huh?¡±
¡°You¡¯re still sleeping? I thought I told you to rest at home,¡± Yin Shaojie said, his long fingers stroking her delicate cheek.
Usually, she skipped sses at the first opportunity, but today she said that she wanted to go to school.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m awake. Let¡¯s go.¡±
She held his arm.
The two reached Year One¡¯s block. Before parting, Yin Shaojie said, ¡°How about youe to the Student Union building with me and do whatever you want there? You can go to sleep if you¡¯re tired.¡±
¡°Nah. I¡¯m a student, okay?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or to cry.
Yin Shaojie pinched her cheek. ¡°This is rare. You still remember that you¡¯re a student?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m going to be a responsible student from today onward. I¡¯ll be a good student and keep improving! No more skipping sses!¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at her unexpectedly. ¡°Why the sudden change?¡±
¡°What? I¡¯ve always been a good student, okay!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him angrily, pushed him, and said, ¡°Hurry up and go to the Student Union. I¡¯ll go to ss. Bye!¡±
With that said, she went upstairs.
Upon entering the ssroom.
Everyone looked at her at the same time. The ssroom suddenly became very quiet.
Mu Xiaoxiao ignored them and went to take her seat.
Shortly, Feng Tianqi arrived as well. Upon seeing her, he grumbled, ¡°Mu Xiaoxiao, where did you go yesterday? Is this how you should behave as a student? You didn¡¯te to ss!¡±
He sat next to her, staring at her as if he were going to get to the bottom of it.
Mu Xiaoxiao was going toe up with an excuse to appease him when suddenly, there were gasps in the ssroom, followed by a loudmotion.
¡°Dear god! Why is he here?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was curious as she turned to look.
There was a tall, cool-looking figure standing at the door. Carrying a bag in his hand, he walked in slowly.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned.
Jun Zeye?
Why was he in ss S?
Jun Zeye saw her too. His eyes on her, he slowly walked over to her.
Stupefied, Mu Xiaoxiao batted her eyes. Could it be that he came to see her?
However, when Jun Zeye walked up to their seats, he looked at Feng Tianqi and said with a nk expression, ¡°This is my seat.¡±

Feng Tianqi sneered. He ced an arm around the back of the chair and smirked at Jun Zeye as he said, ¡°Who said that this is your seat? Now that I¡¯m sitting here, this is my seat!¡±
¡°About that¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao saw that the boys were on the verge of breaking out into a fight.
However, the boy sitting in front of them turned his head back and said to Feng Tianqi in a low voice, ¡°This is really his seat. Tianqi, hurry up and stand up. Come here and sit with me.¡±
Feng Tianqi had a chipper personality and thus got on with the other boys easily.
Upon hearing this, Feng Tianqi¡¯s face darkened. ¡°I don¡¯t want to! I want to sit with Xiaoxiao.¡±
He mmed the top of the table, lifted his chin arrogantly, amd said to Jun Zeye, ¡°I don¡¯t care if you¡¯re supposed to sit here.¡±
¡°Tianqi, stop it. Don¡¯t provoke him, he¡¯s¡¡± The boy sitting in front of Feng Tianqi looked as though he were afraid of Jun Zeye, so much so that he didn¡¯t even dare to cast a nce upon him.
Jun Zeye took his bag off his shoulder and ced it onto Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s table with a thud.
The other students looked as though they were birds frightened by the mere twang of a bowstring, and shrunk to the farthest corner in fear as they looked at Jun Zeye with terrified faces.
Feng Tianqi frowned. He looked confused.
What were his ssmates doing?
This person had an intimidating aura but it didn¡¯t warrant such fear, right?
Jun Zeye¡¯s lips parted slightly. In a low voice, he asked, ¡°Are you getting up?¡±
Feng Tianqi said arrogantly, ¡°I¡¯m not going to. What are you going to do? Fight me? Game on! I¡¯ve never been afraid of a fight!¡±
He wanted to fight?
This was just what he wanted. He had been itching for a fight recently.
¡°Tianqi!¡± The boy in front tried to warn him again.
However, it was no use.
Jun Zeye didn¡¯t like to waste time talking. He reached his right hands towards his back and casually flipped the corner of his wind breaker.
In a quick motion he whipped out a gun from his waist.
His long arm passed Mu Xiaoxiao and he pointed the muzzle of the gun at Feng Tianqi¡¯s forehead.
The students huddled in the corner of the ssroom inhaled sharply and squeezed closer together. Some of them even escaped from of the ssroom.
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked as well. She looked at Jun Zeye anxiously and said to him hastily, ¡°Please, just talk it out!¡±
Goodness, he actually shed a gun just like that?
However, Feng Tianqi onlyughed. Chuckling, he said, ¡°Do you think I¡¯m scared? Who are you trying to scare with that fake gun of yours?¡±
The boy sitting in front of him shook his head violently.
Jun Zeye looked at Feng Tianqi with a mild gaze. Upon hearing this, he moved his arm towards the window panes.
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out!
All the students in the ss screamed in fright.
There was a hole through a tree branch outside the window.
Feng Tianqi¡¯s pupils narrowed and he looked a little ufortable.
The gun was real!
This person actually brought a real gun to school?
Mu Xiaoxiao obviously knew that Jun Zeye¡¯s gun was real but she hadn¡¯t expected him to fire the gun for real. No, wait, how could this person not have the guts to fire a gun like that!
Seeing that Jun Zeye was ignoring her words, she turned towards Feng Tianqi and said, ¡°Go sit in front of me. Hurry!¡±
¡°Xiaoxiao¡¡± Feng Tianqi looked at her, aggrieved.
¡°Be good. Hurry up and go.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao tugged at him.
It was only then that Feng Tianqi stood up reluctantly. He got out of his seat and wanted to go to the seat in front, but his path was blocked by Jun Zeye.
He shouted, ¡°Get out of my way! I¡¯ve returned your seat to you. Happy? Humph!¡±

Jun Zeye was expressionless. Walking past Feng Tianqi, he went to sit beside Mu Xiaoxiao.
Feng Tianqi pulled a long face, clenched his teeth, and sat in front of Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao passed Jun Zeye¡¯s backpack to him. With surprise in her eyes, she smiled and said, ¡°So you¡¯re that mysterious desk mate of mine. I never expected it to be you.¡±
She finally realized why everyone had nced at the seat next to hers when she asked who the most handsome person in school was.
She could imagine how much of amotion he caused when he first came to this ss at the start of school. There must have been lots of girls surrounding him, trying to acquaint themselves with him.
Feng Tianqi turned back, knocked on the table, and said to her, ¡°Hey, do you know him?¡±
¡°Well, you can say that.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded.
Feng Tianqi snorted. He looked quite angry. ¡°So you prefer him as your desk mate? Is that why you told me to get up?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or to cry. She couldn¡¯t say no in front of Jun Zeye as well. After all, Jun Zeye saved her yesterday.
She coaxed him. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry. I¡¯ll treat you to lunch, okay?¡±
¡°No!¡± Did she think she could send him away just by treating him lunch?
Mu Xiaoxiao resigned. ¡°What do you want then?¡±
Feng Tianqi pursed his lips and thought for a moment. Then he snapped his fingers and said, ¡°Go on a date with me!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shot him a look, raised her hand to hit him, and said, ¡°You wish! Even if you¡¯re not afraid to die, I am.¡±
If she were to go on a date with him, Yin Shaojie would definitely flip out.
Feng Tianqi looked down at her. ¡°You¡¯re just afraid of Yin Shaojie, aren¡¯t you? If he¡¯s not going to let you go, you won¡¯t dare to go?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him, waved her hand, and said, ¡°Come, move your head over here.¡±
¡°What?¡± Feng Tianqi asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao grumbled, ¡°So that I can hit you of course! Move your head over here.¡±
Feng Tianqi recoiled. He rolled his eyes and said, ¡°You wish! Why would I let you hit my head? You think I¡¯m stupid?¡±
¡°It¡¯s already a good enough deal that I¡¯m treating you. If you don¡¯t want it, then fine!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao seemed as though she were deliberately trying to get him mad as she nced at Jun Zeye and said, ¡°I¡¯ll treat someone else, then.¡±
Hearing that, Feng Tianqi was upset. How could she treat the guy who snatched his seat?
He changed his tune and said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll take you up on it! But I don¡¯t want to eat at the school cafeteria. I want to go to the high-end western restaurant outside. I want to eat steak! A5 grade!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s talk about thatter.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said.
¡°Are you even sincere¡¡± Feng Tianqi was going toin about her when the ss bell rang and the teacher entered the ssroom.
Mu Xiaoxiao nudged him. ¡°ss is starting!¡±
Feng Tianqi shot a look at the teacher.
The ss started.
As the math teacher was lecturing and writing on the ckboard, he asionally nced at Feng Tianqi.
Finally, he couldn¡¯t stand it anymore.
¡°Feng Tianqi, is this how you sit for a ss? Turn your head around.¡±
Feng Tianqi¡¯s entire body was facing backward at Mu Xiaoxiao. He purposely stared at Jun Zeye, not giving him a chance to talk to Xiaoxiao.
Hearing what the teacher said, Feng Tianqi turned his head back and said, ¡°Teacher, I can pay attention to the lesson just fine like this. Just pretend that I¡¯m not here. Don¡¯t let me interrupt you.¡±

Chapter 1356: The Mysterious Deskmate (126)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The teacher was unsure whether tough or to cry. ¡°Even if I can ignore you, what about the other students? You¡¯re disturbing the other students, okay?¡±
Feng Tianqi spread open his hand and shrugged, ¡°I¡¯m not even talking. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s disturbing the other students. Hey guys, am I disturbing you?¡±
The other ssmates said in unison, ¡°No!¡±
The teacher was speechless.
Feng Tianqi smiled delightedly. ¡°Teacher, everyone agrees that I¡¯m not disturbing them. And I have been paying attention to the lesson. So why does it matter which way I¡¯m facing?¡±
What he said made a lot of sense, so the teacher couldn¡¯t retort.
The teacher thought for a moment and said, ¡°You said that you were paying attention to the lesson, right? Okay. Come up and answer this question.¡±
Feng Tianqi took a look at the math problem on the ckboard. Then he smirked and said to the teacher, ¡°Alright, then. I¡¯ll just have to show you how smart yours truly is!¡±
He said to Mu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Watch me.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him funnily.
Feng Tianqi pushed the chair away and walked up to the podium.
Very quickly, he wrote out the steps to solve the problem.
Just as he was done writing, apuse came from the ss.
¡°Feng Tianqi, you¡¯re really good!¡±
¡°So cool!¡±
Feng Tianqi looked at the teacher delightedly. ¡°How¡¯s that? Do you want to check if it¡¯s right?¡±
The teacher smiled helplessly, not knowing what else to do with him. ¡°I¡¯ll let you off this time. Return to your seat, but no talking.¡±
Feng Tianqi cockily returned to his seat, waggled his eyebrows at Mu Xiaoxiao, looking as though he expected praise. ¡°Am I good or what? I¡¯ll allow you to start admiring me now.¡±
¡°I¡¯m surprised you still have a brain to use,¡± Mu Xiaoxiaoughed.
¡°Duh! Who has no brains! Mu Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re the one with no brains,¡± Feng Tianqi snorted.
¡°Feng Tianqi!¡± A warning from the teacher came behind him.
Feng Tianqi raised his hand and made an ¡°OK¡± gesture. Then he pretended to cast an inadvertent nce at Jun Zeye.
He smirked. Then he turned to face the front and said to the teacher, ¡°Teacher, there¡¯s a student in our ss who hasn¡¯te to ss for a long time. Shouldn¡¯t you be worried about his progress?¡±
With that said, he even pointed at Jun Zeye in case the teacher didn¡¯t know who he was referring to.
Jun Zeye looked at him indifferently.
The corner of his lips turned up in a smirk. His expression seemed as though it were all a deliberate scheme.
The whole ss went silent.
The teacher looked at Jun Zeye and didn¡¯t dare provoke him. Looking down, he coughed and said, ¡°Uh¡ We have went through enough questions today. We¡¯ll save that for next time.¡±
Feng Tianqi tutted unhappily.
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him, telling him not to cause trouble.
He red back at Mu Xiaoxiao. Then he grabbed the book and pen in front of Mu Xiaoxiao and wrote something on it.
¡ª¡ªYou¡¯re biased. Are you protecting him?
Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or to cry. She took back the book and wrote something.
¡ª¡ªNo. Stop saying nonsense!
Feng Tianqi snorted, grabbed the book and pen and quickly wrote on it.
¡ª¡ªI¡¯m the one who was bullied by him, but you didn¡¯t care about me. Don¡¯t think I didn¡¯t see you smiling at him.
Mu Xiaoxiao found it hard to exin herself. She couldn¡¯t tell him what happened yesterday and how Jun Zeye saved her life, could she?
Telling him that she was captured by bad guys and almost lost her life would only cause Feng Tianqi to worry.
Chapter 1357 - The Mysterious Deskmate (127)
Chapter 1357:The Mysterious Deskmate (127)
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up and shed a smile at Feng Tianqi before she continued to write something.
¡ª¡ªI¡¯m smiled at you too, are you happy now?
This guy was acting just like a child. How childish.
Feng Tianqi quickly wrote something..
¡ª¡ªNot happy! Smile at me nine more times. If he gets one smile I want ten!
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She could not be bothered to entertain him any longer.
¡
At the end of ss.
Jun Zeye went out to take a call.
Feng Tianqi was behind him, bad-mouthing him to Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°This guy has to be so mysterious even when he¡¯s taking a call. And he¡¯s even carrying a gun. He¡¯s definitely not a good guy! Is he from some triad?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao replied to him, ¡°I don¡¯t think so. He doesn¡¯t look like it.¡±
She remembered her encounter with Jun Zeye at the back alley of the bar. At the time, the police checked his gun but they returned it to him without even saying anything.
And during yesterday¡¯s hijacking at Heaven and Earth Mall, why did Jun Zeye appear so coincidentally?
Could he be from the police?
Jun Zeye¡¯s identity was tooplicated.
He could be of the police, but he might also really be part of a triad.
Feng Tianqi looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°You¡¯re really dumb. Would someone from the triads make it so obvious that they are from the triads? Of course they wouldn¡¯t do that! Do you think he wouldn¡¯t be from the triad just because he doesn¡¯t look like he is? You think the triads nowadays still act like those from the Hong Kong films where they walk around in their distinctive triad fashion?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to entertain him any longer.
Outside the ssroom.
Jun Zeye stood in the corridor that formed a semi-circle, talking over the phone.
No one dared to approach him but there were quite a few girls who couldn¡¯t help but watch him secretly.
¡°How was ss? Did it go well? Anything happen?¡± Ning Ruyan¡¯s voice came from over the cell phone. He seemed more like he called to hear juicy news instead of actually showing concern for Jun Zeye.
Evidently, Jun Zeye was not interested in talking too much. ¡°No.¡±
Of course, Ning Ruyan didn¡¯t believe him. ¡°No? I don¡¯t think so! The girls went mad, right? How many of those girls came to hit on you?¡±
Jun Zeye replied to him, ¡°If that¡¯s what you want to talk about, then I¡¯m hanging up.¡±
¡°Hey, don¡¯t! I was just worried that you wouldn¡¯t do well in school after being out for so long. Your pride may be hurt given how strong you are. As a brother, I gotta understand what¡¯s happening with you so that I can offer you support.¡± Ning Ruyan would have sounded credible if he hadn¡¯t sounded so amused.
¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m good in every subject except for¡¡± Jun Zeye stopped short.
¡°Except for what? What? I thought there wasn¡¯t anything that would be difficult for you. What is it? Tell me!¡± Ning Ruyan was curious, anxious to know what subject he could possibly be weak in.
Jun Zeye replied, ¡°Nothing. The break is over. I¡¯m hanging up.¡±
¡°Hey. Answer the-¡±
The call was hung up.
Jun Zeye held his cell phone. He was about to return to the ssroom when he heard rapid footstepsing from the stairs followed by students crying out in rm.
A group of people in police uniforms came up and entered ss S.
¡°We got a call about someone here carrying a gun illegally. Who is it?¡±
At once, the whole ss turned to look at Jun Zeye who was standing in the doorway.
Feng Tianqi smirked and leisurely strolled over.
Obviously, he was the one who had called the police.
Chapter 1358 - The Mysterious Deskmate (128)
Chapter 1358: The Mysterious Deskmate (128)
Feng Tianqi walked to the door. He smiled wickedly as he pointed to Jun Zeye and dered, ¡°It¡¯s him!¡±
The crowd gasped.
Jun Zeye stood there with a mild expression on his face and his right hand in his pocket, as though it wasn¡¯t a problem at all.
Feng Tianqi was beyond pleased and even started pacing in front of him. He ordered the policemen, ¡°Hurry up and search him.¡±
No one dared to make a sound. Everyone held their breath and waited to see Jun Zeye¡¯s reaction.
However, he continued to stand still, a nk look on hia face.
The policemen walked over and said to him, ¡°Student, we are going to search you. We hope you will cooperate.¡±
Jun Zeye nodded and said in a low voice, ¡°Please do.¡±
He then raised his arms cooperatively.
The spectating students were shocked by his behavior. Was he not afraid that his gun would be found?
Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t afraid for Jun Zeye. Didn¡¯t he have a gun license? Even if they found the gun, he would probably be fine.
She was just having a headache over Feng Tianqi¡¯s actions.
The policemen concluded their search quickly but they didn¡¯t find any weapons.
¡°There is no gun.¡±
Feng Tianqi was stupefied. ¡°How can there not be? How can there not be! He obviously hid a gun on him! I know, it must be in his drawer.¡±
He ran to Jun Zeye¡¯s seat as he said this. He took out Jun Zeye¡¯s bag and rummaged through it.
However, he still didn¡¯t find anything.
¡°How can this be¡¡± Feng Tianqi was dumbfounded.
Mu Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes. Why did this scene feel familiar?
She looked at Jun Zeye.
Jun Zeye¡¯s gaze met hers right at that moment.
The two of them looked at each other.
Mysteriously, Mu Xiaoxiao felt that the gaze he used to look at her didn¡¯t seem so cold anymore.
Feng Tianqi still couldn¡¯t ept this result. He had already imagined the scenario: the policemen would find Jun Zeye¡¯s gun and take him away in cuffs. He would be able to stand up for himself like this. However, the scene didn¡¯t y out like he thought it would.
¡°I know! The gun must still be on his body! You should make him take off his clothes and search him one more time! I don¡¯t believe that it can¡¯t be found!¡±
Upon hearing those words, the eyes of the girls widened, and there were even some who nodded and called for an immediate strip search.
The policemen were put in a spot. They couldn¡¯t really get this guy to strip in front of a crowd for a search, right?
¡°Ahem, um¡ I¡¯d like to ask the other students for witness ounts. Did you see this student bring a gun in?¡± a policeman asked.
Just then, a girl in the crowd said suddenly, ¡°No!¡±
Then, the other girls agreed as well, ¡°We didn¡¯t see it either!¡±
This was awkward!
The policemen looked ufortable.
Feng Tianqi didn¡¯t look too good either. ¡°They¡¯re lying!¡±
¡°Enough. You were the one who called the police, right? Don¡¯t make false reports again,¡± the policeman warned him before leaving.
The corner of Jun Zeye¡¯s mouth twitched as he nced at him before walking back to his seat as though nothing had happened.
Mu Xiaoxiao walked over to Feng Tianqi¡¯s side and whispered, ¡°Stop with your shenanigans, okay?¡±
Feng Tianqi couldn¡¯t find a way out of such an embarrassing situation. Feeling very humiliated and embarrassed, he didn¡¯t respond to her and just walked out.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked helpless.
¡
After ss.
Jun Zeye packed his things, but left without even saying goodbye.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at his silhouette. There were so many questions in her mind. He hadn¡¯t been attending sses previously so what made hime back so suddenly?
In the afternoon, their gazes met from time to time.
It made Mu Xiaoxiao feel weird, but she didn¡¯t know how to describe it.
Chapter 1359 - The Mysterious Deskmate (129)

Just as she was daydreaming, her phone started to vibrate.
It was Yin Shaojie.
¡°What do you want to for lunch?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao said carelessly, ¡°Anything is fine.¡±
She took her bag and walked out of the ssroom.
Suddenly, a dark silhouette pounced on her, shocking her. ¡°Ah!¡±
Upon realizing that it was Han Qiqing, Mu Xiaoxiao red at her intively. ¡°What made you do that!¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± asked Yin Shaojie on the other side of the phone.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°It¡¯s Qiqing. She jumped out to scare me for no reason.¡±
Han Qiqing grinned as she hugged her arm. She exined, ¡°I didn¡¯t. I just wanted to greet you. Who told you to daydream? Who are you thinking about?¡±
¡°I was talking on the phone with him. Since when was I daydreaming?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes.
Han Qiqing pointed to her eyes. ¡°Your gaze was dazed. No matter how I look at it, it seemed like you were daydreaming.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao ignored her and told Yin Shaojie. ¡°Where are you now? I¡¯ll go over to the Student Union to look for you.¡±
¡°I¡¯m already at the Year One building.¡± There was a smile in his voice.
¡°Really? Then I¡¯lle out right now!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, pushing Han Qiqing¡¯s hands away. She walked downstairs.
¡°Hey! Wait for me!¡± Han Qiqing rushed after her.
Upon reaching the first floor, she saw Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie hugging.
Yin Shaojie stroked Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hair and smiled as he asked, ¡°Have you thought about what to eat?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t want to think about it. You decide.¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at Han Qiqing. ¡°Qiqing, you decide what we¡¯re going to eat for lunch.¡±
Han Qiqing thought for a while. ¡°How about Japanese cuisine?¡±
¡°It¡¯s the afternoon! Why Japanese cuisine! I¡¯ve already ordered food. Let¡¯s go back to the Student Union to eat,¡± a voice rang out suddenly.
Song Shijun smiled as he walked over.
Han Qiqing rolled her eyes at him. ¡°Who told you that we can¡¯t eat Japanese cuisine in the afternoon?¡±
Song Shijun walked up to her. ¡°I know that you want to eat at that restaurant that offers Kaiseki-Ryori, right? It¡¯s far from here and the trip to get there would use up the afternoon.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement. ¡°Let¡¯s go back to the Student Union, then. I¡¯m alright so long as my stomach is full. I don¡¯t really care what I eat. Alright, Qiqing, let¡¯s go.¡±
She released Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm and walked over to hold Han Qiqing¡¯s.
Han Qiqing then smiled. The two of them walked over to the Student Union building side by side.
On the way there, they heard some gossip. Unexpectedly, it was about Jun Zeye.
After all, Jun Zeye had be a hero after the bomb incident and had long be a very mysterious legend in Shangde.
Now that he had returned to Shangde for ss, he rocked the entire school.
As she walked, Han Qiqing nced over at Yin Shaojie. She leaned close to Mu Xiaoxiao discreetly and said, ¡°Hey, I¡¯ve also heard about this gossip. They say that handsome guy is really cool and even sits beside you! How is it? How is it?¡±
¡°What do you mean by that?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her uprehendingly.
¡°It¡¯s¡¡± Han Qiqing took a nce at Yin Shaojie again. Lowering her voice, she said, ¡°Everyone is saying that his style is simr to Yin Shaojie, and that he¡¯s freaking handsome! Is it true? Is the handsome boy more handsome or¡ is Yin Shaojie more handsome? Tell me the truth!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. ¡°What kind of nonsense are you asking!¡±
Chapter 1360 - The Mysterious Deskmate (130)
Chapter 1360: The Mysterious Deskmate (130)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°It¡¯s true! There¡¯s even a poll online already. However, right now, the votes for Yin Shaojie are still leading. After all, he has many die-hard fans. But, I did see manyments from girls stating that they are crushing madly on your deskmate. They even said that they¡¯re moving on from Yin Shaojie,¡± Han Qiqing said seriously.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Han Qiqing patted her and asked, ¡°What about you?¡±
¡°What about me? I haven¡¯t had a change of heart!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao exined.
Han Qiqing nced at her. ¡°I didn¡¯t say that you had a change of heart. I just asked you who you think is more handsome. Is Yin Shaojie the winner or your deskmate?¡±
It was really obvious that Mu Xiaoxiao was ufortable.
To be honest, Jun Zeye really did have presence, the kind where it seemed like he radiated testosterone. He only had to stand there and the girls around him would swoon without even a nce from him.
However, his style was different from Yin Shaojie¡¯s. They couldn¡¯t bepared.
While two of the girls were whispering, a particr person tried to get close to them sneakily to eavesdrop on their conversation.
However, he was discovered by Mu Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao gave Song Shijun a re.
Song Shijun smiled and went back to Yin Shaojie¡¯s side. Elbowing him, he said, ¡°Hey, aren¡¯t you worried at all? Xiaoxiao¡¯s deskmate is a really hunky guy! He¡¯s only been at school for half a day, but he¡¯s already stolen the hearts of many girls. Most importantly, the girls liked you previously but they had a change of heart so quickly.¡±
Yin Shaojie had a hand in his pocket as he rolled his eyes at him. Lifting his chin arrogantly, he said confidently, ¡°Even if all the girls in the world have a change of heart, Xiaoxiao will never abandon me.¡±
He didn¡¯t care about other girls. He only cared about Xiaoxiao.
Song Shijun gave him a teasing smile. ¡°You¡¯re that certain that Xiaoxiao will never have a change of heart?¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Song Shijun spread his arms out, indicating that he had nothing else to say.
The four of them finally reached the Student Union building.
Song Shijun¡¯s arrangements were on point. The dishes had already arrived and they were still piping hot.
After the meal, Han Qiqing kept talking about wanting to investigate Jun Zeye.
Song Shijun was interested too, and thus chimed in.
They went into Yin Shaojie¡¯s office.
Yin Shaojie entered the school¡¯s student records system and searched up Jun Zeye¡¯s information.
However¡
¡°ce of birth unknown, birth date unknown, and it doesn¡¯t even say which school he was at previously. There¡¯s only his name in the records. This guy is too mysterious!¡± Song Shijun was stunned.
Yin Shaojie said in a low voice, ¡°It¡¯s not unknown. He just doesn¡¯t want us to know.¡±
¡°What do we do then?¡± Song Shijun asked.
¡°That¡¯s right. What do we do?¡± Beside them, Han Qiqing said as well.
Yin Shaojie looked at the both of them. ¡°What do you mean? Do you really have to have information on him?¡±
Han Qiqing said, ¡°I¡¯m curious!¡±
Song Shijun replied, ¡°You have to know both yourself and the enemy!¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at him and thought that his words sounded a little strange.
Han Qiqing walked over to Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°Xiaoxiao wants to know where Jun Zeyee from too, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao said hurriedly, ¡°I don¡¯t want to know! Since when did I ever say that?¡±
Even though she was curious, she couldn¡¯t admit this in front of Yin Shaojie or else he would be jealous again.
Han Qiqing looked disappointed and she shook her arm. ¡°Why are you not curious? He¡¯s your deskmate!¡±
Chapter 1361 - The Mysterious Deskmate (131)
Chapter 1361: The Mysterious Deskmate (131)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°You really don¡¯t know who he is? You¡¯ve forgotten? He rescued us before. He even defused the bomb situation so coolly. He can¡¯t be a normal person!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao noticed Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze on her and she started to get a little nervous.
She tugged at Han Qiqing¡¯s hand and pretended to stretch. ¡°I¡¯m so tired. If you want to know, you can look him up yourself. Anyway, I¡¯m not interested in knowing. I want to go inside to sleep. Don¡¯t disturb me.¡±
After that, she walked into the resting area.
¡°Why are you like this¡ Xiaoxiao, are you really sleepy, or are you faking it?¡± Han Qiqing didn¡¯t believe that her friend wasn¡¯t interested in knowing.
Song Shijun waved a hand at her, gesturing for her to follow Xiaoxiao. ¡°I think you should rest with Xiaoxiao.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to. I¡¯m not sleepy.¡± Han Qiqing walked around and stood by his side, craning her neck to look at theputer screen. She asked, ¡°Do we have any other way to investigate who this ¡®Jun Zeye¡¯ is? His surname is Jun, a unique surname! It should be easy, right?¡±
¡°How about we doxx him?¡± Song Shijun suggested.
Han Qiqing nodded vigorously, ¡°Sure, sure! Aiyoh¡ª ¡±
She was hit on the head.
Song Shijun rolled his eyes at her and said, ¡°Doxxing is illegal!¡±
Also, it wasn¡¯t like there weren¡¯t other ways to look for information on him. They didn¡¯t have to stoop to such a low level.
Han Qiqing red at him. ¡°That was obviously your suggestion!¡±
¡°It was just a casual remark. Who knew you were legally illiterate? You should hurry up and go in to apany Xiaoxiao. Stop hindering our work here.¡± Song Shijun pushed her away, and gave her a look.
Han Qiqing pouted. ¡°Fine! I¡¯ll go then. If you find anything, remember to tell me about it!¡±
¡°Alright, hurry up and go in!¡±
It was only then that Han Qiqing entered the resting area reluctantly.
Yin Shaojie and Song Shijun were now left alone.
Song Shijun then moved closer. In a whisper, he said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°Do you want to use your hacking skills to investigate him? His presence at the kidnapping incident yesterday was too coincidental and he even appeared in school today. Don¡¯t you think this is all too coincidental?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at him. ¡°How did you know he was involved in the kidnapping incident?¡±
Song Shijun smiled as he exined, ¡°How could I not show some concern when your family¡¯s building was under attack yesterday? Coincidentally, my dad brought the CCTV recording of the incident home to investigate. I looked at it and that¡¯s how I know it¡¯s him.
Yin Shaojie nodded. ¡°There are indeed too many coincidences.¡±
And he was someone who didn¡¯t believe in coincidences.
He didn¡¯t know why but he felt uneasy, as though something might happen soon.
He said, ¡°Actually, I¡¯ve already started looking into him¡¡±
Yin Shaojie was interrupted by a notification ringtone on his phone, signaling that he had received a message.
He took up his phone and opened his messages app.
It was the detective. He had sent over the results of his investigation and there were many photographs attached.
In most of the photographs, Jun Zeye was together with a bespectacled boy.
¡°Eh?!¡± Song Shijun saw the photograph and eximed. He snatched the phone in a sudden motion, before cursing. ¡°F*uck! Why is is it him!¡±
¡°You know him?¡± Yin Shaojie asked.
Song Shijun pointed to the photograph at the gentle and cultivated-looking boy beside Jun Zeye. Gritting his teeth, he said, ¡°Ning Ruyan!¡±
¡°Ning?¡± Yin Shaojie fronwed.
If he remembered correctly, the governor of the province had the surname ¡°Ning¡±.

Song Shijun cursed in a low voice, ¡°F*ck! Didn¡¯t this guy go to the capital? Why is he back again!¡±
Yin Shaojie asked him, ¡°Are you two rivals?¡±
¡°There¡¯s more to it than that!¡± Song Shijun said huffily. ¡°Before I met you, he was ¡®that parent¡¯s kid¡¯. All the elders keptparing me to him and it was so annoying!¡±
Even though he knew Ning Ruyan since his childhood, they didn¡¯t interact much. They had a superficial rtionship and the most they did was nod at each other in greeting.
Ning Ruyan was a smart student with good grades and loved by the elders, while in contrast Song Shijun was a little more mischievous. Thus, it was natural the elders kept nagging at him to learn from Ning Ruyan.
Song Shijun stared at the photograph, frowned, and asked, ¡°This Jun Zeye dude actually knows Ning Ruyan. Who is he?¡±
Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze sank a little. His long fingers tapped the table lightly as he thought.
No matter whether Jun Zeye was a friend for foe, it was a must to find out who he was.
¡
The afternoon recess ended.
There was a continuous stream of studentsing back to school and entering their ssrooms.
On a tree, Jun Zeye opened his eyes. ncing at his surroundings, he then jumped off a few branches andnded nimbly on the ground.
Just as he was about to walk to ss, his phone rang.
¡°Hello.¡±
It was Ning Ruyan calling.
¡°KO indeed isn¡¯t dead yet. He¡¯s appeared. But what I don¡¯t understand is that he didn¡¯t escape from the country at the first moment. He even spent a huge sum of money to bribe people. He says he wants toe to your school to find a girl. ording to the news I got, it seems like he¡¯s referring to the girl he kidnapped.¡±
Jun Zeye frowned as he asked, ¡°What¡¯s the name of the girl.¡±
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao.¡±
Jun Zeye¡¯s gaze turned cold.
Ning Ruyan asked, puzzled. ¡°Is this Mu Xiaoxiao girl the one who was kidnapped in Heaven and Earth Mall yesterday? Who is she? Why is KO so interested in her?¡±
¡°Tell me immediately if there are any new developments,¡± Jun Zeye said, ignoring Ning Ruyan¡¯s question.
¡°Brother, do you know who she is?¡± Ning Ruyan was really curious.
¡°I don¡¯t know. Who she is isn¡¯t important.¡±
¡°Not important? Why does it seem as though you¡¯re kind of worried about her?¡±
It was good that the bell for ss was about to ring.
Jun Zeye said, ¡°I have to go to ss now. We¡¯ll talk when you have news.¡±
Before Ning Ruyan could finish speaking, Jun Zeye had already hung up.
The bell for ss rang just as Jun Zeye reached the ssroom.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s seat was empty.
He looked at the empty seat beside him and frowned.
In front, Feng Tianqi was also puzzled. ¡°ss has already started. Why is Xiaoxiao still not here? Could she be skipping ss again?¡±
¡°She didn¡¯t skip ss. Mu Xiaoxiao is downstairs. Young Master Jie is bringing her here,¡± the boy beside him said as he pointed towards the window.
Upon hearing this, the students craned their necks and looked outside. As expected, they saw the silhouettes of Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked as though she had just woken up. She seemed drowsy, her eyelids droopy as though she couldn¡¯t open them.
Yin Shaojie was chuckling as he pinched both her cheeks. He then lowered his handsome face and said something to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him and pped his hands away.
Yin Shaojie rubbed the spots she had been pinched with his fingers earlier. He said something to her with a dazzling smile on his face.

The two of them were showing their affection for each other in broad daylight, blinding the onlookers.
¡°Young Master Jie actually apanied her to the ssroom.¡±
¡°Why does Young Master Jie treat her so well? He has never treated any of his girlfriends so well!¡±
¡°Do you only know of this now? Young Master Jie treats Mu Xiaoxiao differently.¡±
¡°I can¡¯t stand this! Why isn¡¯t it me!¡±
While the girls were chattering away, no one noticed or even looked at the teacher walking into the ssroom.
The teacher coughed awkwardly and used a board to knock on the lectern.
¡°Alright, it¡¯s time for ss.¡±
No one seemed to hear it because the ss still continued to discuss the topic hotly.
¡°Mu Xiaoxiao is really super pampered. Young Master Jie treats her so well but she still dares to give him dirty looks. Does she know who she is? I don¡¯t understand how Young Master Jie fell in love with her.¡±
¡°She must be a pro to be able to hold onto her man tightly.¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it because she¡¯s banking on Young Master Jie liking her? I¡¯m waiting to see what will happen to her when Young Master Jie gets tired of her.¡±
¡°Stop speaking. Mu Xiaoxiao is about toe up!¡±
¡°So what? Who does she think she is? Can¡¯t I say what I want about her?¡±
Just then, Mu Xiaoxiao appeared outside the door of the ssroom.
¡°I¡¯m here! I¡¯mte,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said politely.
The teacher smiled. ¡°Come in, it¡¯s time for ss.¡±
¡°Thank you, teacher.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao walked to her seat under the gaze of the onlookers.
Upon noticing Jun Zeye¡¯s gaze, she smiled at him.
Jun Zeye looked away without a response.
Mu Xiaoxiao was used to his coldness and didn¡¯t mind it.
On the other hand, Feng Tianqi looked back at her and whispered, ¡°This guy is really too full of himself. I really don¡¯t like him. If you don¡¯t want to sit beside him, I can tell the teacher to switch your seat.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯m not bothered by anything.¡±
¡°You don¡¯t have to consider him. How about switching ces with my deskmate and letting him sit with that guy?¡± Feng Tianqi evidently still hoped to sit next to her.
His deskmate jumped in shock and rejected him immediately, ¡°I don¡¯t want to!¡±
Feng Tianqi red at him.
The boy looked pitiful and didn¡¯t dare to retort anymore.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. ¡°It¡¯s really okay. I think this is a good arrangement. Alright, stop talking. ss is about to start. Feng Tianqi, hurry up and face forward.¡±
Feng Tianqi pouted and turned back unwillingly.
Upon seeing the scene from the lectern, the teacher breathed a sigh of relief and started ss.
After the first period.
Mu Xiaoxiao took out her textbook. ncing at Jun Zeye beside her, she found that he wasn¡¯t moving. She then said, ¡°The next period is music ss. We have to go to the music ssroom. Did you bring your textbook?¡±
Upon hearing the words ¡°music ss¡± Jun Zeye frowned noticeably.
Feng Tianqi was waiting for Mu Xiaoxiao to go. He looked at Jun Zeye and said, ¡°Could you be scared of music ss? Are you tone-deaf?¡±
Jun Zeye took no notice of him and treated him as though he were air.
He looked down and searched his desk drawer but didn¡¯t find his music textbook.
¡°I didn¡¯t bring my textbook.¡±
Chapter 1364 - The Mysterious Deskmate (134)
Chapter 1364: The Mysterious Deskmate (134)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled at him and offered her textbook to him. ¡°I¡¯ll lend you mine. I can just share mine with someone else.¡±
He had no friends and it would be impossible for him to borrow someone else¡¯s.
Feng Tianqi smiled and said, ¡°Xiaoxiao, you can share with me.¡±
¡°No,¡± Jun Zeye said.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that he was rejecting the use of her textbook. She immediately pushed it towards him and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, you can use mine.¡±
Jun Zeye looked at him. In a low voice, he said, ¡°I mean, I¡¯ll share the textbook with you. You don¡¯t have to share with him.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him nkly.
Feng Tianqi was unhappy. ¡°F*ck! Are you trying to snatch her from me?¡±
¡°Alright, let¡¯s go to ss. Come on.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao changed the subject in order to prevent Feng Tianqi from squabbling with Jun Zeye again.
Jun Zeye stood up, grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s textbook, and followed her.
Feng Tianqi rushed forward and walked beside Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him and said, ¡°You two go on first. I¡ need to go to the restroom.¡±
She then ran towards the restroom.
¡°I¡¯ll wait for you in the music ssroom. I¡¯ll help you reserve a seat!¡±
Feng Tianqi felt helpless. He couldn¡¯t go to the girls¡¯ restroom and thus could only go on.
After a while, Mu Xiaoxiao emerged from the toilet, but realized that there were many girls blocking the entrance.
She looked at the girls uprehendingly.
They weren¡¯t queuing for the bathroom. They were just standing outside the entrance, huddling together and chatting away.
Mu Xiaoxiao was curious and thus strained her ears to eavesdrop.
¡°That¡¯s him. That¡¯s him, right? He¡¯s really handsome!¡±
¡°What do you think he¡¯s here for? Is he waiting for his girlfriend?¡±
¡°That can¡¯t be. He just came to this school. How can he already have a girlfriend?¡±
¡°But did you notice? He looks over here asionally, but he doesn¡¯t look like a pervert.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She walked out and followed their gaze. It was really Jun Zeye!
She was dumbfounded. What was he standing here for?
She walked over hurriedly. ¡°Jun Zeye, why¡¡±
Didn¡¯t you tell me that you were waiting for me here?
Jun Zeye only looked at her mildly and said a single sentence. ¡°It¡¯s time for ss.¡±
He then walked towards the stairs.
Mu Xiaoxiao returned to her senses and followed him.
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled by his behavior.
Upon arriving at the music ssroom, Feng Tianqi waved at her. ¡°Xiaoxiao, over here!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to walk over instinctively, but realized that there was only one empty seat, which made her hesitate.
¡°Come over!¡± Feng Tianqi urged.
Jun Zeye¡¯s voice rang out behind her. ¡°Let¡¯s sit over there.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. However, she walked with him to the empty seats at the back.
Feng Tianqi looked a little angry. He walked over with his textbook and chased the person in front of Mu Xiaoxiao away.
¡°Didn¡¯t I say that I was going to reserve a seat for you? Why didn¡¯t youe over?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao said helplessly, ¡°You only reserved one seat. That was on purpose, right?¡±
Feng Tianqi harrumphed.
Just then, the music teacher entered the ssroom and turned the projector on.
The atmosphere in music ss was very rxed. The music teacher was a humorous and easygoing person.
After talking for a while, the music teacher sat in front of the piano and yed something casually, before smiling and saying, ¡°Is there anyone who would like to volunteer and perform something with me?¡±
¡°Me!¡± Someone from the back raised his hand.
The crowd whipped their heads back to look and were surprised. Feng Tianqi?

Feng Tianqi smiled mischievously, pointed at Jun Zeye, and said, ¡°I think we all want to hear the new student sing, right?¡±
He even deliberately took the lead in the cheering.
Mu Xiaoxiao noticed that Jun Zeye¡¯s brows were wrinkled slightly. She quickly came to help him, raising her hand as she said, ¡°Teacher! I¡¯ll do it!¡±
The music teacher also didn¡¯t want to put anyone on the spot. When the teacher saw her stepping up, she immediately said, ¡°Alright, Xiaoxiao,e up here. Xiaoxiao¡¯s pitch is quite suitable for this song.¡±
Feng Tianqi tutted in disappointment.
After the music ss was over, the next lesson was physical education ss.
Feng Tianqi changed into his sports attire. He looked handsome as he bounced the basketball and walked up to Jun Zeye.
He said arrogantly, ¡°Let¡¯s have a match!¡±
Jun Zeye said indifferently, ¡°I¡¯m not interested.¡±
¡°Are you scared of losing to me?¡± Feng Tianqi taunted him.
However, his provocation failed as Jun Zeye ignored him.
Meanwhile, Mu Xiaoxiao was with the other girls, preparing to y another game.
Noticing that Jun Zeye was looking at Xiaoxiao, Feng Tianqi sneered and stood in front of him to block his view.
¡°Do you like Xiaoxiao? I¡¯m telling you, you can keep dreaming! Xiaoxiao doesn¡¯t like you. She only sympathizes with you since you are alone.¡±
Jun Zeye looked away and continued to treat him as air.
Feng Tianqi was infuriated. He took a few steps back, picked up the basketball, and threw the ball at him.
Jun Zeye raised his hand and smacked away the basketball as if it were only a fly. Feng Tianqi¡¯s eyes narrowed.
¡°I will say again. Have a match with me. If I lose, I¡¯ll forget everything that happened and I won¡¯t go up against you anymore.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not interested,¡± Jun Zeye said again, his gaze returning to Mu Xiaoxiao.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao wasn¡¯t there anymore.
Jun Zeye quickly stood up and walked over to where Xiaoxiao had been.
There seemed to be two girls missing from within the group of girls.
He went over and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s Xiaoxiao?¡±
Feng Tianqi thought that Jun Zeye was strange so he followed behind him. He was very annoyed upon hearing him referring to Mu Xiaoxiao as though he were close to her.
¡°Hey, who are you calling ¡®Xiaoxiao¡¯?¡±
Jun Zeye ignored him as he looked at the girls.
The girl was scared by his serious expression. Perplexed, she said nervously, ¡°I don¡¯t know¡ she probably went to the lounge? Did she?¡±
¡°I think so? I wasn¡¯t paying attention,¡± the other girl replied. Jun Zeye¡¯s presence near them got them excited. How could they be bothered with where Mu Xiaoxiao went when they were busy admiring his handsome face?
Jun Zeye knew that he couldn¡¯t get any useful information from them so he simply turned and walked away.
¡°Hey! Did Xiaoxiao disappear?¡± Feng Tianqi caught up to him and asked quizzically. ¡°She¡¯s not a kid anymore. She won¡¯t get lost. Besides, this is a school. How lost could she be? Why are you so anxious?¡±
Jun Zeye still treated him as though he wereair as he headed for the stadium¡¯s lounge.
¡°Hey! That¡¯s for the girls! You¡¯re not intending to go in, are you?¡±
Jun Zeye stopped.
Seeing that he finally responded to his words, Feng Tianqi smirked and said deliberately, ¡°What? Why aren¡¯t you going in? Xiaoxiao may be inside. Go in and check it out!¡±
Chapter 1366 - The Mysterious Deskmate (136)

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Jun Zeye looked up at him, his lips parted slightly. ¡°You go in then.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not¡¡± Before he could finish speaking, Jun Zeye grabbed Feng Tianqi by the cor and threw him inside.
As Feng Tianqi flew forward, he cursed Jun Zeye.
Screams came from the girls¡¯ lounge.
¡°Pervert!¡±
¡°Get out! This is the girls¡¯ lounge. We¡¯re changing, okay! Get out now!¡±
¡°Eh? It¡¯s actually Feng Tianqi. I never thought he was such a person!¡±
Feng Tianqi climbed to his feet wretchedly. He wanted to beat up Jun Zeye.
¡°Feng Tianqi? Why did youe in here?¡± Just then, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s voice was heard.
Feng Tianqi turned to look at her and immediately pointed to Jun Zeye as heined, ¡°He pushed me in here! I don¡¯t know what¡¯s gotten into him. He¡¯s been looking for you everywhere.¡±
¡°Looking for me?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Jun Zeye in a curious expression.
However, there was no longer any worry showing on Jun Zeye¡¯s face. It was as if nothing had happened.
Jun Zeye said, ¡°This guy wanted to have a basketball match with him. I thought I could get you to be the referee.¡±
Hearing that, Feng Tianqi was startled for a moment. ¡°You¡¯re going to have a match with me?¡±
Didn¡¯t he say that he wasn¡¯t interested earlier?
Jun Zeye nced at him. ¡°Are we having a match or not?¡±
¡°Of course we are!¡± Feng Tianqi immediately replied as though he were afraid Jun Zeye would change his mind.
¡°Okay, you be the referee then,¡± Jun Zeye said to Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and said. ¡°Oh, okay.¡±
¡
After school.
Mu Xiaoxiao was at her seat, in a daze. She was browsing through Weibo on her cell phone, waiting for Yin Shaojie¡¯s call.
Yin Shaojie was in a meeting, and he sent a message saying that he would pick her up in a bit.
Before she even realized, the students in the ssroom were gone.
After using Weibo for sometime, Mu Xiaoxiao looked up at the empty ssroom. She was the only one there¡
Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head and saw Jun Zeye sitting inside. He was looking out the window as if he were admiring something.
¡°Jun Zeye? School ended, why haven¡¯t you gone yet?¡±
Jun Zeye didn¡¯t answer her.
Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. She thought she might be disturbing him, so she stopped talking.
Even though school had ended, he didn¡¯t need to leave. Perhaps there was some reason or some person that he was staying back for?
They were the only people in the ssroom and it was very quiet.
Mu Xiaoxiao was so bored as she continued to browse through Weibo.
Just then, Yin Shaojie¡¯s name appeared on the screen.
Her lips turned up in a smile. She waited for the phone to ring some time before she slowly answered the call.
Speaking in a feignednguid manner, she said, ¡°Hey, you¡¯re so slow. I was about to fall asleep.¡±
And she yawned to make it seem more authentic.
Yin Shaojie chuckled. ¡°Are you in the ssroom? I¡¯m downstairs. I¡¯lle up to find you.¡±
Just when Mu Xiaoxiao was going to tell him toe up, she suddenly remembered that Jun Zeye was there too. If Yin Shaojie were to see them alone in the ssroom, he would probably get jealous again.
¡°You don¡¯t need toe up. I¡¯ll go down,¡± she said.
With that said, she hung up the phone.
She said to Jun Zeye, ¡°I¡¯m going now. Bye bye.¡±
She didn¡¯t expect that he would reply to her.
But Jun Zeye heard it and made a sound in acknowledgement.

Mu Xiaoxiao smiled, got up, and walked out of the ssroom.
When she went down to the first floor, her little face drooped as she pretended to be sleepy.
¡°Yin Shaojie, I¡¯m so sleepy¡¡± She sounded like a childining to its parent as she walked up to Yin Shaojienguidly.
Yin Shaojie looked at her, smiled, and asked, ¡°What do you want then?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stretched out her hands. ¡°I don¡¯t want to walk. Carry me.¡±
Yin Shaojie tutted. Looking resigned, he turned and squatted down.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and leaned against his back.
¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯m hungry. I wanna eat,¡± she said.
Yin Shaojie walked forward, carrying her on his back.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked back unwittingly and didn¡¯t expect to see Jun Zeye there.
He had alsoe downstairs and he was watching them.
Then he left in the other direction.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought it was odd. It was almost as if Jun Zeye were watching over her.
Yin Shaojie carried her to the parking lot before letting her down.
¡°Eh? Where are Qiqing and the others? Qiqing said that she wanted to eat Kaiseki.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked quizzically when she didn¡¯t see the others around.
¡°We¡¯re not going to eat anymore. Let¡¯s go home to eat,¡± said Yin Shaojie as he opened the car door.
Mu Xiaoxiao got in the car and heard his cell phone ring.
Yin Shaojie looked serious as he picked up the call.
¡°I don¡¯t care what method you use, find him! I don¡¯t care who he pays, I¡¯ll pay double the price. No one is to take his job!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him.
Yin Shaojie kept the conversation short and hung up the phone. He probably noticed her staring at him.
Mu Xiaoxiao asked, ¡°Is there something wrong?¡±
Yin Shaojie thought for a moment. He told her about KO looking for her.
¡°He¡ What does he want?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled.
KO knew who she was and wanted to capture her. She didn¡¯t think that he would still want to find her even while on the run.
Yin Shaojie took her little hand and stroked it to cate her. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t let him do anything to you.¡±
No matter what KO¡¯s objective was, Yin Shaojie would not let hime close to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes suddenly widened as she thought of Jun Zeye¡¯s strange behavior this afternoon and she came to a realization.
Could it be that¡
Jun Zeye had already found out about KO paying people to find her?
He kept appearing around her in the afternoon. When she went to the toilet, he waited outside. When he noticed that she was missing, he went looking for her. He asked her to be the referee so that he could keep her within sight. He stayed back after school until she met up with Yin Shaojie before he finally left.
Was he really trying to protect her? Or was it all a coincidence?
But what Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t understand was why he treated her so well?
He had clearly been quite aloof toward her.
¡°Xiaoxiao?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice rang beside her ear and his handsome face leaned up close to hers.
Returning from her thoughts, Mu Xiaoxiao gave a stupid expression. ¡°Ah?¡±
She seemed a little flustered as she tried to hide her thoughts of Jun Zeye from him.
¡°Start the car. Let¡¯s go home. I¡¯m so hungry. I want to eat something soon.¡± She smiled at him.
Yin Shaojie kissed her hand. Then he said in his maic voice, ¡°In any case, you must stay close to me for now. Be good and don¡¯t wander about, got it?¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Okay, I got it,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao replied obediently.
Yin Shaojie could see how distracted she looked.
But he didn¡¯t make anyments. He started the engine and the sports car drove out of Shangde High.
Back at the Yin residence.
¡°Young Master, Miss, you¡¯re back,¡± the helper greeted them with a smile.
Usually, Mu Xiaoxiao smile at them, but today she only had a nk expression as she walked over.
Yin Shaojie followed behind her and watched her slowly walk to the door to the backyard.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± He noticed that her eyes were misty as though there were tears in them.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked back at him and she suddenly rushed up to hug him.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± he asked again.
In his arms, Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head, tears tumbled from her eyes.
¡°I just¡ remembered some things¡¡±
Her voice was uneven as she spoke.
On the way back, she kept thinking about how Jun Zeye was silently protecting her. It felt like d¨¦j¨¤ vu, as if someone had protected her like this before.
It was a distant memory.
It was from so long ago that she thought she had forgotten it because if she remembered it, it would be too painful.
Mu Xiaoxiao held Yin Shaojie tightly and buried her head in his shoulder.
She wanted to say, ¡®Yin Shaojie, I miss Ah Ze¡¡¯
But she didn¡¯t speak out because she didn¡¯t want Yin Shaojie to revisit the painful memory with her.
After she calmed herself down, she looked up and smiled, looking apologetic. ¡°I¡¯m okay.¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t probe further into the matter. With his long fingers, he brushed her hair away. His finger curled as he stroked her soft cheek.
¡°Are you hungry?¡± he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded. ¡°Yeah! I¡¯m so hungry. Go and see if the kitchen is done with dinner. Oh yeah, Mama Yin is not back yet, is she?¡±
¡°She should be back soon. We can eat first,¡± Yin Shaojie said.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°We should wait for Mama Yin to have dinner together.¡±
Just then, Yin Shaojie¡¯s cell phone rang, interrupting their conversation.
Mu Xiaoxiao said considerately, ¡°Go answer the phone. I¡¯ll go for a walk.¡±
Yin Shaojie took a quick nce at the caller ID. It was something important so he pressed the answer button.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips as she looked at the backyard. As though something were pulling her, she pushed open the door and went out.
She walked for some time.
Under the tree at the furthest corner of the backyard.
The sun was slowly setting and the sky was dyed orange. The sun¡¯s rays fell upon the small tomb beneath the tree.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes were filled with tears again.
She went up to the small tomb, knelt down, her hand brushing the words on the tomb.
A tear fell on a de of grass and she whimpered, ¡°Ah Ze¡¡±
She wiped away her tears with her finger and sat down beside the tomb.
The grass swayed and the ends of her hair were lifted as the evening wind blew past.
Mu Xiaoxiao said in a very light voice, ¡°Ah Ze, I recently met a boy named Jun Zeye. His name shares the same characters as yours. He¡ saved me many times. Today, he protected me again. He remindeds me of you¡¡±
Chapter 1369 - The Mysterious Deskmate (139)
Chapter 1369: The Mysterious Deskmate (139)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao looked down at the small tomb beside her. Her tears streaked down her cheeks.
She sobbed and said, ¡°I was thinking, if you were¡ still alive, would you also protect me like he did? I know you would.¡±
¡°Ah Ze¡ I really want to see how you¡¯d look growing up. You¡¯d definitely grow up to be really handsome. You wouldn¡¯t lose to Jun Zeye.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t hold back her emotions as she buried her face in her knees, her tears gushing and wetting her shirt.
Her voice was very raspy as she muttered helplessly, ¡°Ah Ze¡ What should I do? I feel like I¡¯m starting to forget how you look like.¡±
Since Ah Ze¡¯s passing so many years ago, the memories of him when they were young had gradually be a blur. Even if she tried hard to recall, she realized that she could only make out a vague silhouette.
Mu Xiaoxiao was so sad!
Suddenly, a warm palm touched the top of her head.
Startled, Mu Xiaoxiao almost thought that it was Ah Ze when she realized that it was probably Yin Shaojie.
Sure enough, she heard Yin Shaojie¡¯s sigh and he said, ¡°I knew you woulde here.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up, her eyes red with tears.
¡°How¡¡± How did he know.
Yin Shaojie held up the jacket in his hand. He had brought it for her since it was getting colder.
¡°You left it here thest time. When I saw that, I knew you came to see him.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and tears poured out again.
This time, she didn¡¯t try to hide it from Yin Shaojie. She threw herself into his arms and held him tightly, whimpering as she said, ¡°Yin Shaojie, I really miss Ah Ze. I really, really miss him¡¡±
Yin Shaojie said nothing but only put his arms around her.
He turned to the side and looked at the small tomb.
The little tomb was made by him and Xiaoxiao.
Ah Ze was their friend when they were young, but he had an ident and died.
Xiaoxiao grieved and cried for a whole month.
The three of them often yed in the backyard, so Xiaoxiao thought to make a small grave beneath the tree as a memorial for Ah Ze, so that they would never forget him.
Mu Xiaoxiao cried for some time. The radiance of sunset filled the sky and the light slowly faded.
She sniffed, looking up from his arms.
Yin Shaojie brushed her messy hair. ¡°Are you done crying?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao gave no reply as she rubbed her face in his chest.
Yin Shaojie sighed and said, ¡°Actually, I should be the one crying, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him questioningly. ¡°Why?¡±
¡°While you¡¯re in my arms, you¡¯re crying for some other guy. Why do you think?¡± Yin Shaojie said, looking at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao replied, ¡°It¡¯s not the same. This is Ah Ze we¡¯re talking about.¡±
¡°Yes, he is different. You think that he is more important than me, right?¡± Yin Shaojie said deliberately.
Of course he didn¡¯t really care about that. He was only trying to distract her.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him angrily. ¡°What are you talking about?¡±
Yin Shaojie said in a sour tone, ¡°You are Xiaoxiao and he is Dada 1. You two even share the same birthday. There was so much chemistry between the two of you when you were young. You would always hang out with him and leave me alone.¡±
Ah Ze¡¯s nickname was Dada and Xiaoxiao was the one who gave him that nickname.

Mu Xiaoxiao disentangled herself from his embrace and red at him. ¡°Isn¡¯t it all your fault? You were always fighting with me, and provoking me. It was Ah Ze whoforted me afterwards every time.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s lips twitched but he didn¡¯t say a word.
As Mu Xiaoxiao recalled her childhood, she snorted at him and said, ¡°There were a few times when you made me really sad. I ran here to cry and it was Ah Ze who found me and gave me a lollipop to coax me.¡±
¡°Alright, can we not talk about this anymore? It¡¯s my fault. I was wrong in the past. Happy?¡±
They had fought when they were children and he had made her cry, but had she not thought about who had caused her to cry?
Never mind, it was all in the past anyway. Ah Ze was no longer here and there was no meaning in talking about the past.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and leaned over. Poking his chest with her finger, she said, ¡°It was your fault!¡±
Yin Shaojie caught her finger and pulled her close with a swing of his arm.
¡°Let¡¯s not fight because of him anymore, okay?¡± His thin yet sexy lips said softly beside her ear.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her little head. ¡°Okay.¡±
Yin Shaojie turned his head and kissed her cheek.
¡°Didn¡¯t you say you were hungry? Shall we go for food?¡±
The sun gradually sunk over the horizon. Night fell and the sky darkened.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her head.
Yin Shaojie released her. Holding her little hand, they left this ce.
The grass by the grave swayed gently in the night breeze.
¡
After showering.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat behind theputer desk, staring at theputer screen. There was a faraway look in her eyes and it was evident that she was daydreaming.
She shook her head and came back to her senses.
She thought of something suddenly. Holding the mouse, she opened a web browser.
She searched Jun Zeye¡¯s name on Baidu.
However, the search results only mentioned novels. There was no other content.
Mu Xiaoxiao cupped her chin with a hand and sighed.
¡°How are you supposed to search up information on someone¡¡± She mumbled to herself, looking like she had a headache.
She thought for a while before going into Weibo again and searching Jun Zeye¡¯s name. If she was lucky, she would be able to find some information.
She didn¡¯t know why she was so mindful of this Jun Zeye guy. Was it because his name shared a word with Ah Ze¡¯s?
Could he have some rtion to Ah Ze?
The memories of her childhood were too distant. She had already forgotten if she had asked Ah Ze about his family.
After Ah Ze passed away, she got to know Qiqing and the rest. Making new friends helped her moved on from Ah Ze¡¯s death.
Thinking about Ah Ze made her tear up uncontrobly.
She used the back of her hand to wipe the tears that threatened to fall.
Suddenly, she felt someone lean against her back.
¡°You think that this Jun Zeye guy is rted to Ah Ze?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s low voice rang out beside her ear.
He knew her best.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t conceal anything. She nodded. ¡°I do suspect it a little¡¡±
Today, Jun Zeye had ignored her in the morning, but in the afternoon his behavior became weird and he appeared beside her all the time.
It seemed like he had received news that KO was looking for her at noon, and afraid that KO would harm her, he had stayed by her side to protect her.

She thought back to the day of the bomb incident when she identally met him under the tree. He was really aloof toward her as though she were a stranger.
In contrast, his behavior and attitude this afternoon were really very different.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t understand why.
Yin Shaojie looked at her with a funny smile. ¡°You think you can just investigate someone by doing a search on him on Weibo or Baidu? How naive!¡±
He pushed her head with his finger.
Mu Xiaoxiao ttened her lips. ¡°How do I investigate then! You can¡¯t find anything either, can you? I was just trying it out. What if it works?¡±
Yin Shaojie asked her, ¡°You think that you can find his information on the Inte when his details were not even fully registered in the school¡¯s database? Dummy!¡±
¡°What am I to do then¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was so gloomy.
She had a strange feeling that Jun Zeye was rted to Ah Ze somehow.
She just couldn¡¯t let go of that thought.
Yin Shaojie closed theptop. He turned her chair around to face him.
¡°Let me handle this. I¡¯ll let you know immediately if I hear any news, okay?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao hooked her arms around his neck and nodded. ¡°Okay, you got to hurry. I really want to find out.¡±
Yin Shaojie pinched her nose. ¡°Are you so interested in this Jun Zeye? You¡¯re not scared of me getting jealous?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao giggled, went up, and gave him a peck on his lips.
¡°It¡¯s not like I¡¯m interested in him. How can you be jealous?¡±
¡°Who says I won¡¯t be?¡± Yin Shaojie raised his eyebrow and snorted, looking petty as he said, ¡°I am jealous! I heard that he¡¯s even your deskmate now? You two were really brought together by fate, huh?¡±
If she weren¡¯t already in a rtionship with him, would she fall for that guy?
Somehow, the more he thought, the more likely it seemed and it made him particrly uneasy.
Even as a guy, he had to admit that Jun Zeye¡¯s cool exterior and strong manly pheromones emanating from him would indeed be extremely attractive to girls.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help butugh, ¡°You know on the first day that I came to ss, I asked everyone who the most handsome boy in the ss was. Then all the ssmates turned to look at the position where Jun Zeye was sitting. But the expression on their faces were quite strange. Later, I finally understood why. It turns out that Jun Zeye brought a gun to school. He was cold toward the others and he didn¡¯t like them disturbing him. When the girls in the ss surrounded him, he was annoyed and whipped out his gun¡ Uh¡¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t want to continue listening to her, so he stoppered her mouth.
Was she dim-witted?
She was actually talking about some other guy so enthusiastically right in front of him.
What was worse was that her eyes were still gleaming as though she really admired Jun Zeye.
¡°Uu¡ Yin¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao wondered what was the matter with him that he would kiss her so suddenly? Couldn¡¯t he let her finish?
However, when her lips parted slightly, Yin Shaojie¡¯s hot tongue came rushing in.
Their tongues entangled, the intimate contact made her fuzzy.
She couldn¡¯t help but let out a sweet, low moan.

Yin Shaojie had only wanted to stop her from continuing but when he got a taste of her, he couldn¡¯t hold himself back anymore.
The kiss gradually became more intense.
He pushed her onto the leather chair, pulled up her little hand so that she could put it around his back.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt like she was being gobbled up and she found it difficult to breathe.
Seeing that she was about to suffocate, he released her a little so that she could take a small breather.
Immediately after that, he pressed himself onto her again and got entangled with her.
Before she knew it, he was sitting on the leather chair and she was sitting on hisp. The two were closely pressed against each other.
They kissed passionately. However the touch of their lips could no longer satisfy Yin Shaojie anymore.
He suddenly picked her up and pressed her against the table top.
¡°Jie¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao cried out in surprise.
She was met with his scorching gaze when she looked up.
His obsidian-like eyes stirred deep passions that threatened to drown her.
He kissed her again.
Though they were clearly newbies at this, Yin Shaojie seemed very experienced.
He sucked on her mouth, tangling up with her tongue, leaving her nowhere to escape.
All of her senses were overwhelmed by his aura.
Knock knock.
The knock on the door was particrly abrupt in the middle of this sizzling atmosphere.
sping at his clothes, Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. She regained her senses and patted him on the shoulder.
Yin Shaojie then released her lips reluctantly.
¡°Xiaoxiao, Shaojie, are you in the room? Do you want to eat fruit?¡± It was Mama Yin¡¯s voice.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little dizzy after the kiss. She tried to think of what to do so that Mama Yin wouldn¡¯t know that they were making out.
After all, it would be really embarrassing if an elder caught them doing such things.
However, she heard Yin Shaojie started talking.
He said straightforwardly, ¡°Mom, we are busy. We can¡¯t eat now.¡±
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little face suddenly reddened. She red at him bashfully and forcefully pounded his chest.
How could this guy be so honest!
Mama Yin¡¯s happy voice came from outside. ¡°Okay, okay, okay, continue then. I won¡¯t disturb you. I¡¯m cheering for you!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
What the heck was ¡®I¡¯m cheering for you¡¯!
She was also unsure whether tough or to cry.
It got quiet outside. Apparently, Mama Yin had left.
Mu Xiaoxiao pounded his chest with her little fist and grumbled, ¡°Why did you say that! If you say that, won¡¯t Mama Yin know what we¡¯re doing? Are you dumb!¡±
¡°So what?¡± Yin Shaojie said, unconcerned. With amusement showing on his exceptionally fine-looking face, he brought his lips to her mouth.
He said in a hot, breathy, suggestive manner, ¡°We were¡ doing this kind of thing. Come, let¡¯s continue.¡±
¡°Yeah right!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pushed him away.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes narrowed, ¡°Trying to escape? Come back here!¡±
Scooping her up with hisrge hand, he brought Mu Xiaoxiao back into his arms and pressed her against the table top again.
¡°Stop ying!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao put her hands on his chest.
¡°I¡¯m not ying. Let¡¯s continue. Mom left already. She won¡¯t bother us anymore.¡± Yin Shaojie went up to her dainty little nose and gave it a light kiss.

Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes rolled around, and she said, ¡°I don¡¯t believe it. Mama Yin is definitely still there!¡±
¡°She wouldn¡¯t be so tactless,¡± Yin Shaojie said.
¡°Let¡¯s make a bet then,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao tilted up her chin and said.
Yin Shaojie looked at her then he smirked sinisterly, nodded, and said, ¡°Alright, since it is a bet, there should be stakes, right?¡±
¡°What do you want to bet?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao had a vague feeling that his eyes were especially¡ sinister! He must be thinking about dirty stuff again.
Yin Shaojie licked his lips lecherously, narrowed his eyes, and looked at her. ¡°I haven¡¯t taken a shower yet¡¡±
¡°No!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao rejected him before letting him finish.
¡°I¡¯m not finished speaking yet.¡± Yin Shaojie thought it was funny.
Mu Xiaoxiao grumbled to him. ¡°Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know that you want to say: ¡®Would you like to shower with me?¡¯ I don¡¯t want to.¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled, his eyes turning into crescents. His long finger pointed at her nose, and he joked. ¡°I wasn¡¯t going to say that. You are the one who wants that, right? Mu Xiaoxiao, you are sick!¡±
¡°What! You are the one who¡¯s sick, okay!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao quickly shot back at him.
¡°I didn¡¯t say that I want you to take a shower with me. You¡¯re the one who thought that. If your head wasn¡¯t filled with such dirty things, why would you think of those things just from what I said?¡± Yin Shaojie exined clearly and made it hard for her to rebut him.
¡°I¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was at a loss for words.
Boohoo, she couldn¡¯t beat him in an argument!
¡°I don¡¯t want to talk to you anymore!¡± Xiaoxiao tried to weasel her way out of it.
¡°You want to escape again?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s sped her slender waist with hisrge hand so that she had no choice but to remain trapped beneath his body.
¡°We still haven¡¯t decided what the stakes will be.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. ¡°What do you want then?¡±
¡°You say what you¡¯re gonna put up for the bet first,¡± Yin Shaojieughed.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, ¡°If Mama Yin is eavesdropping outside, then¡ you¡ can¡¯t mess around. Yeah.¡±
¡°Just that?¡± Yin Shaojie seemed to disapprove.
¡°Okay, if my mom isn¡¯t outside, you have to let me do whatever I want.¡±
¡°No!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao refused him without even thinking about it. How could she let him do whatever he wanted? What if he wanted to¡
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face reddened at the thought of some X rated ideas.
¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you haven¡¯t taken a shower yet? How can youe up with something else now? I don¡¯t care, you have to use that one.¡±
¡°Alright then, since I haven¡¯t taken a shower yet, if I win, you have to help me rub my back, alright?¡± Yin Shaojie smiled sinisterly.
¡°See! I wasn¡¯t wrong, was I? You are sick!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao immediately retorted.
Yin Shaojie raised his eyebrow. ¡°You were right? You were talking about me wanting to take a shower with you, but what I¡¯m suggesting is that you rub my back. That¡¯s different, isn¡¯t it?¡±
Yin Shaojie pulled her up and held her little hand as they walked to the door together. He deliberately said in a louder voice, ¡°Now, let¡¯s see if Mom is eavesdropping outside.¡±
When he opened the door, there was no one outside.
¡°You, you cheated! You were so loud just now. Mama Yin definitely heard that! Even if she was there, she definitely would have left.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to go along with him anymore as she flung his hand off and ran to the bed.
Yin Shaojie grabbed her hand and pressed her onto the bed.

Heughed naughtily, looking like a lecher.
Mu Xiaoxiao wouldn¡¯t admit defeat. Her little hand pressed against his chest, and she screamed, ¡°Mama Yin, help! Help! Mama Yin! Save me!¡±
People not in the know would think there was some abuse going on.
Yin Shaojie was going tough and tell her not to waste her effort.
Bang!
The door was pushed open quickly and it hit the wall.
¡°Son! Can¡¯t you be more gentle? You have to be gentle, got it! What are you doing? How can you be so rough to Xiaoxiao?¡± Mama Yin stood at the door and lectured Yin Shaojie disapprovingly.
The two on the bed froze.
Turning back, Yin Shaojie gritted his teeth slightly and said, ¡°Ma, didn¡¯t you leave?¡±
Seeing the discontented look on his son¡¯s face, Mama Yin coughed awkwardly. ¡°Well uh¡ I did leave. Sorry, I¡¯m not going to bother you two anymore. Continue, continue¡¡±
With that said, she stepped out.
As she was stepping out, she suddenly remembered something. With a small movement of the hand, she pointed to the nightstand and said, ¡°That thing is in the drawer¡ Remember to use it, alright?¡±
With that said, she stepped out and thoughtfully closed the door.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed and fell back onto the bed. She pped the bedsheets happily. ¡°Haha, I won!¡±
Yin Shaojie rolled his eyes in resignation.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat up with a bright smile and shed a V sign.
Yin Shaojie pursed his lips, pressed his finger against her forehead, and pushed her down forcefully.
¡°Mama Yin was clearly outside, so I won!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao rolled over and said to him.
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t refute it and he muttered, ¡°We shouldn¡¯t havee back here.¡±
No one would have disturbed them at the condominium.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of something and asked him, ¡°Oh yeah, Mama Yin said that the thing is in the drawer. What is it?¡±
¡°What do you think?¡± Yin Shaojie asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao was curious so she climbed to the nightstand and opened the drawer. In the drawer were several boxes of different brands of condoms.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s blushed and she quickly turned away.
Mama Yin was really¡
However, at the thought of the surprise she was preparing for Yin Shaojie on her birthday, wouldn¡¯t there be a chance that they would have to use these?
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of something. Which brand would be better to use?
At the thought of that, she felt so embarrassed as she shook her head.
God, how could she be thinking about these things?
However¡ since she had decided to give herself to him, she had to take these things into consideration. After all, she was still young and didn¡¯t want to have a child at such an early age.
Suddenly, another problem urred to her as she turned to ask him, ¡°Yin Shaojie, doesn¡¯t thesee in specific sizes? How did she know if it would be suitable for us?¡±
Amused, Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes turned into crescents.
He didn¡¯t think that she would actually ask this.
He went up close to her, his long arm wrapping her in his arms. He lowered his chin onto her shoulder and pulled out the drawer, took out a Durex condom, and looked it over.
¡°It should fit.¡± He smiled very happily.

Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. Without much consideration, she casually called out to him. ¡°How do you know? Have you tried using it?¡±
She then realized what she had just said. God, how could she be talking about this with him!
It was too embarrassing. She quickly tried to escape.
But Yin Shaojie trapped her in his arms, his lips touching her ear. His deep voice was sexy and suggestive as he said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you touch it before? You should know how¡¡±
¡°Yin Shaojie!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s cheeks flushed as she red at him and shouted, raising her voice to drown his out so that she wouldn¡¯t hear the dirty things that he was going to say.
¡°It¡¯s nothing to be shy about.¡± Yin Shaojie raised his eyebrows suggestively. ¡°Why don¡¯t we try one?¡±
¡°You wish!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face turned red as though it were going to start bleeding. She picked up the pillow nearby and smothered his face to keep him from talking.
She pushed him away and ran out.
The whole room was filled with such a sizzling, suggestive atmosphere that her heart could hardly take it anymore.
Yin Shaojie was slow and couldn¡¯t catch her as he saw her run away.
He chuckled, holding the pillow in his hand.
He lowered his head and sniffed the pillow.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and a glint of seriousness came over him.
He wouldn¡¯t let anyone ruin their beautiful time together.
Even if¡ it was Ah Ze, their childhood friend.
¡
In the study.
Half of the lights were lit and the room was quite dim.
Yin Shaojie sat behind theputer, his handsome face expressionless. His eyes stared at theputer screen.
Half an hour had passed, but he hadn¡¯t been able to find anything.
There was no information online about Jun Zeye, not even a word.
What was the meaning of this?
What did this imply?
Yin Shaojie leaned back against the chair, staring out the window into the night sky as he thought about Ning Ruyan whom Song Shijun had mentioned.
Son of the governor. Ning Ruyan.
Now that he thought about it, Ning Ruyan had not been in City A for a long time. He heard that Ning Ruyan had studied in the capital ever since he was young and only returned to City A asionally. Thus, many powerful people couldn¡¯t get themselves acquainted with him even if they wanted to.
Yin Shaojie pondered for some time, thinking about whether he should start his investigation from Ning Ruyan instead?
He picked up his cell phone and called Song Shijun.
Song Shijun quickly answered the call.
Upon hearing that Yin Shaojie wanted to get information on Ning Ruyan, Song Shijun joked, ¡°I knew you woulde to ask me about this. You seem to care a lot about this guy. Is he a threat to you? You don¡¯t have to be that nervous. Even if he saved Xiaoxiao, your rtionship with Xiaoxiao is so deep and strong that he won¡¯t be a threat to you.¡±
Yin Shaojie pinched his eyebrows. Hearing thatst sentence, he looked down.
Was he really not a threat?
If his suspicions were wrong, then this statement would be valid.
But if his suspicions were right¡
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t let himself continue to dwell on it.
¡°Just tell me about Ning Ruyan. Wasn¡¯t he at the capital? Why would he suddenlye back to City A? And tell me about how he was doing at the capital.¡±
Chapter 1376 - The Mysterious Deskmate (146)
Chapter 1376: The Mysterious Deskmate (146)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Song Shijun started talking about Ning Ruyan, sounding peeved.
¡°He went through kindergarten in City A and elementary school at the capital. Since he¡¯s the eldest son of the family, the Nings were focused on nurturing him so that he would work for the government. But somehow, heter entered the armed forces, so I didn¡¯t see him much during those years. I heard that he had a big fight with his family and decided that he wasn¡¯t going to work for the government and entered the armed forces instead. I don¡¯t know much with regards to his time in the armed forces.¡±
Song Shijun suddenly thought of something. ¡°Oh yeah. That guy, Jun Zeye, given how skillful he is, could he have met Ning Ruyan in the armed forces? Could he be hisrade?¡±
Yin Shaojie muttered irresolutely, ¡°That¡¯s possible. I¡¯m guessing that they probably underwent training in the special forces. Those skills cannot be a result of typical armed forces training.¡±
Moreover, there were also different sses within the special forces itself. In China, the most elite special forces were in the capital.
¡°Special forces? Damn!¡± Song Shijun cursed.
Yin Shaojie asked, ¡°What else do you know?¡±
¡°Nothing more. I¡¯m not that close with him. Why would I care to keep up with news about him? Ning Ruyan looks like such a cultured character. How could he get into the special forces? I don¡¯t think that¡¯s likely,¡± Song Shijun said deliberately.
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Can¡¯t you ask around about him?¡±
Given Song Shijun¡¯s position and his rtionship with the Ning family, it would be easy for him to get information on Ning Ruyan.
The only lead they had to find out more about Jun Zeye was through him.
Song Shijun didn¡¯t know why Yin Shaojie was so concerned about Jun Zeye. Although he was quite reluctant to inquire about Ning Ruyan, he would definitely help out his good brother, Yin Shaojie.
¡°Alright, then. I¡¯ll go and ask about him and let you know.¡±
¡°Okay. As soon as possible,¡± Yin Shaojie said.
Just as he hung up the phone, a message was sent to hisputer.
It was a hacker friend of his who sent him some pictures.
They were screenshots of surveince videos.
Seeing Jun Zeye in the picture and the details of where the picture was taken, Yin Shaojie¡¯s brows furrowed.
He also went to America not long ago?
Could it be a coincidence?
Thest few screenshots were from an airport. Yin Shaojie¡¯s fingers stopped on the mouse and his pupils widened.
The picture was of a busy airport lounge. Amongst the crowd were two figures with their backs facing each other. One of them was Jun Zeye and the other was¡ Mu Xiaoxiao.
Though it was only a blurry picture, Yin Shaojie recognized it immediately.
It was because he was the one who was holding Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand at the time.
Yin Shaojie suddenly had a bad feeling.
¡
The night was quiet. The bright moon hanging in the dark sky was so beautiful.
Mu Xiaoxiao had a dream that she had before.
In her dream, she returned to the time when she was young, when she was like a little doll.
¡°Xiaoxiao? Where are you?¡±
It was Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice. To be precise, it was the voice of Yin Shaojie when he was a child.
He seemed to be looking for her.

But she ignored him as she ran in the other direction until she reached a corner of the backyard where she met a little boy.
¡°What are you doing?¡± she asked in her soft voice. Her short legs bent as she squatted down beside the little boy.
¡°How did you know that I was here?¡± He smiled, looking jovial.
She was delighted because she knew that he was here.
¡°I guessed! What are you doing here?¡±
His eyes gave off a mysterious feeling. ¡°I can¡¯t tell you yet. When I find it, I¡¯ll give it to you.¡±
Her eyes lit up. ¡°Eh! Are you going to give it to me? Tell me what it is.¡±
¡°Geez, can you pretend that you don¡¯t know about it? Wait till I find it.¡±
¡°No! Just what is it exactly? You are going to give it to me anyways. You can tell me.¡±
He couldn¡¯t stand her acting spoiled, so he said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll tell you.¡±
He pointed to the grass in front of him, smiled, and said, ¡°I¡¯m looking for a four-leaf clover.¡±
¡°A four-leaf clover? What is that? Can you eat it?¡± The chowhound in her was exposed as she stuck out her tongue and asked.
Amused, he pushed her forehead with his short finger. ¡°You dummy. Of course you can¡¯t eat it. You¡¯re not a little sheep. I learned about four-leaf clovers on television. It said that as long as I find it, I can make a wish with it and the wish wille true.¡±
¡°Wow! It¡¯s that good? Any wish wille true? Then I¡¯ll help you find it!¡±
However, the two looked around for a long time and couldn¡¯t find it.
She was tired and sat down on the grass. ¡°It¡¯s so tiring. Why can¡¯t we find it? Is there really a four-leaf clover?¡±
The little boy sat beside her. His expression remained resolute. ¡°Yes, there must be!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s stop looking for it, alright? I¡¯m hungry¡¡± she said, touching her stomach.
The little boy shook his head, his little handsome face looked determined. ¡°I¡¯ll look for it. You can go and eat. I¡¯ll find it myself.¡±
She asked quizzically, ¡°Why must you find it? It¡¯s too hard to find. Stop looking for it.¡±
¡°Because¡¡± He looked up at her and smiled. ¡°I want to make a wish.¡±
¡°What wish?¡±
¡°My wish is¡¡± The little boy stopped, looked at her, and said, ¡°I want you to be happy. Aren¡¯t you unhappy? You cried. I don¡¯t want to see you crying so I wanted to make a wish that you would never cry again.¡±
She pouted. ¡°I had a fight with Yin Shaojie today,¡± she cried.
¡°You are so nice to me!¡± she said as she rushed up to hug him.
She said, ¡°I¡¯m very happy now! Super happy! So we don¡¯t have to find the four-leaf clover anymore. Let¡¯s go eat!¡±
She stood up, held his little hand, and pulled him forward.
¡°You¡¯re really happy?¡± He asked as he looked back at the three-leaf clovers.
She nodded vigorously. ¡°Yeah! I¡¯m very, very happy! I like being with you, so of course I¡¯m happy.¡±
Hearing this, heughed.
The two kids smiled at each other.
The little girl suddenly became the grown up Mu Xiaoxiao.
Staring at the little boy in front of her, her eyes shook as she remembered something. Her eyes became slightly wet and she whimpered, ¡°Who¡ who are you?¡±
The little boy smiled and said to her, ¡°Silly Xiaoxiao, I¡¯m Dada. It¡¯s me, Ah Ze!¡±

Suddenly, the little boy¡¯s face drooped as he looked at her sadly and asked, ¡°Xiaoxiao, have you forgotten me?¡±
Have you forgotten me¡
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly woke up from the dream. Her eyes widened and she muttered. ¡°No, I haven¡¯t¡¡±
Ah Ze, I haven¡¯t forgotten you.
But at the thought of how sad Ah Ze looked, it ached her heart.
¡°Yin Shaojie¡¡±
She instinctively wanted to find him to seekfort, but when Mu Xiaoxiao turned around, the bed was empty and cold.
She suddenly remembered that she didn¡¯t let Yin Shaojie sleep with herst night and told him to sleep somewhere else instead.
Outside the window, the sky was hazy as though it had just woken up. A trace of morning light shined from the marble white color of dawn.
Typically at this hour, Mu Xiaoxiao would still be asleep as she rarely woke up so early.
But today, she wasn¡¯t sleeping.
Sitting on the bed, holding her knees in a daze, her mind was a mess.
Ever since Ah Ze¡¯s death, she had admittedly ced him out of mind. It wasn¡¯t that she didn¡¯t want to think of it but she got upset every time she thought about it. Afraid that she would get sad, the people around her avoided broaching the topic about Ah Ze.
Thus, Ah Ze gradually disappeared from her world.
This was the dream that she had when she had regained her memory from the previous incident. It was only then that she had forgotten that the little boy in the dream was Ah Ze.
Why would she dream of Ah Ze at that time?
Mu Xiaoxiao tried hard to sort out the confused thoughts.
Before her memory returned, she met Jun Zeye for the first time in the back alley of a bar.
She couldn¡¯t help but suppose that she had dreamt of Ah Ze because he was somehow rted to Ah Ze.
Could that be the reason?
Mu Xiaoxiao looked down, thoughts running through her mind.
Suddenly, she lifted the nket and got off the bed.
Without even changing her clothes or taking her jacket, she hurried down the stairs.
Upon bumping into a maid, the maid respectfully called out, ¡°Miss, you¡¯re up early today. Are you hungry? Should I prepare something for you now?¡±
As though Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t see her, she went straight to the door to the backyard.
Pushing open the door, she put on the indoor slippers and hurried into the backyard.
¡°Miss?¡± The maid looked at her quizzically.
Mu Xiaoxiao had already disappeared into the bright morning sunlight.
The clear light of the morning fell upon on the grass and pearls of dew.
A pair of long legs ran over, disturbing the grass and the dewdrops hanging from the tips of the grass fell.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly ran under the tree.
There were a lot of weeds nearby and she could see a bunch of small three-leaf clovers not far away.
She practically threw herself onto them, unconcerned with the fact that she was wearing pajamas as she knelt down on the ground and started looking for something.
No, no, no¡
Silently, she kept looking for it.
The sun over her head gradually rose higher and the sunlight became clearer, shining down through the gaps in the leaves of the trees.
Mu Xiaoxiao scoured through all of the three-leaf clovers but she still couldn¡¯t find the legendary four-leaf clover.

¡°Why aren¡¯t there any? I can¡¯t find one¡¡±
She was a little dejected and looked sad.
She didn¡¯t want to give up. But what could she do?
Holding a three-leaf clover in her hand, tears welled up in her eyes.
She wanted to find a four-leaf clover so that she could make a wish.
She wished that Ah Ze coulde back to life¡
She wished that he hadn¡¯t died.
Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes roughly so that her tears would go back to where they came from.
She thought that she was being too ridiculous. How did such an ideae to her?
Just a moment ago.
She had a sudden thought. What if Jun Zeye was Ah Ze?
Wouldn¡¯t that mean that Ah Ze wasn¡¯t dead?
But how could it be?
Ah Ze obviously died from the ident.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that she must be going mad. How could she doubt Ah Ze¡¯s death and suspect that Jun Zeye was Ah Ze?
That was impossible!
Even if she really found the four-leaf clover that would enable her to make such a wish, it wouldn¡¯t be possible.
Ah Ze had passed away.
Jun Zeye could never be Ah Ze.
In the end, Mu Xiaoxiao gave up. She slowly stood up, her eyes dejected as she looked up at the exceptionally bright and beautiful sky.
¡°Xiaoxiao!¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s voice was heard from the distance.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned to look. Their eyes met and she saw that his eyes were filled with worry.
Seeing how dirty she looked, he frowned as he walked over to her. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? What are you doing here so early in the morning?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head as she walked over to him.
She didn¡¯t want to talk as she let him hug her and she buried her little head in his chest.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yin Shaojie held her gently and he brought his thin lips to her forehead, giving her a light kiss of constion.
Mu Xiaoxiao sobbed and said, ¡°I couldn¡¯t find the four-leaf clover¡ I couldn¡¯t find it¡¡±
I couldn¡¯t bring Ah Ze back to life.
No matter how much I want Jun Zeye to be Ah Ze, it can never happen.
Yin Shaojie felt extremely bad for her. ¡°Stop crying. I¡¯ll help you find it. A four-leaf clover, right? It¡¯s definitely here. I¡¯ll help you find it, alright? Don¡¯t cry, okay?¡±
Watching her cry like this, his heart ached for her even though he knew that she wasn¡¯t crying because of him.
But he also didn¡¯t want to see her tears.
Mu Xiaoxiao looped her arms around his back and hugged him tightly
Her voice was soft was she replied, ¡°Mm, alright.¡±
She trusted him. Ever since they were young, whenever he said that he would help her, he had never failed to keep his promise.
She knew deep in her heart that there was nothing that Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t do.
Yin Shaojie held up her face, wiped the tears in her eyes with his finger, and was going to push her away slightly.
But Mu Xiaoxiao hugged him tightly, refusing to separate from him.
Amused by how dependent she was on him, he said in resignation. ¡°You didn¡¯t even wear a jacketing out here. What if you get sick? Ease up a little on the hugging.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao then realized what he was trying to do, so she stopped holding on to his arm but the other hand still continued grabbing onto his shirt.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t know what to do with her.
He took off his jacket and put it over her. Then he squatted down in front of her. ¡°Get on up. I¡¯ll carry you back.¡±
Looking at his broad back that was so warm and dependable, she couldn¡¯t help but smile.

She pounced on him, leaning against his back.
Mu Xiaoxiao was afraid that he was cold as well so she pulled the jacket forward so that it would cover him too.
Yin Shaojie lifted her up and walked forward steadily.
Mu Xiaoxiao clung and nuzzled up against his neck, taking in his manly scent.
It was a scent that made her feel at ease.
Back in the vi, the helpers quickly brought Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s jacket to them along with a cup of warm water.
¡°Thanks,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said.
The maid from earlier med herself, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Young Master, I should have stopped Miss from running out.¡±
She thought that Mu Xiaoxiao would only be out for a while and hadn¡¯t expected her to get dirty.
¡°It¡¯s okay. You¡¯re not to me,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao quickly exined.
Yin Shaojie wasn¡¯t in the mood to scold anyone, so he waved his hand at the helpers, telling them to prepare breakfast. Then he held Xiaoxiao as they went upstairs.
Back in the room, he took her into the bathroom.
¡°Take a shower first. You look so dirty. Other people might think you were rolling in the mud,¡± he joked.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and went into the bathroom.
She closed the door.
Yin Shaojie stood in front of the door, his eyes enigmatic as he stared at the door. His expression was solemn as he thought about something.
About half an hourter, Mu Xiaoxiao came out from the shower. She looked around as she dried her hair. Yin Shaojie was nowhere to be seen.
¡°Where did he go?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked herself.
She went to sit in the armchair cross-legged. As she dried her hair, her hand gradually felt tired.
Just then, a sweet smell wafted up into her nose and her eyes lit up.
Her stomach grumbled.
¡°I knew you were hungry!¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s sounded amused as he came in with a tray.
¡°Where did you go?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stood up. The first thing she did wasin.
Although she knew that he couldn¡¯t be at her side all the time, she wanted to keep him close.
¡°Am I not here with the breakfast now?¡± Yin Shaojie put the tray on the coffee table and stretched out his hand to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao walked over and grabbed his arm. She pouted and snorted, saying, ¡°You could have let the helper bring it. Why did you get it yourself?¡±
¡°I thought it would be more delicious if I got it myself, was I wrong?¡± Yin Shaojie smiled and said. Holding her little hand, he took her to the sofa and sat down.
¡°Have your breakfast.¡±
¡°Yeah!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. Putting the matter to rest, she sat down and started eating her breakfast.
Yin Shaojie sat beside her and watched her eat.
She seemed like she was enjoying it.
He thought that if he could just watch her eat like this for the rest of his life he would be happy.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up at him quizzically. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you eating?¡±
With that said, she picked up a small sausage with a fork and brought it to his mouth.
¡°Ah.¡± She opened her mouth.
Yin Shaojie was very cooperative, opening his mouth so that she could feed him.
Her mood seemed to have gotten better. She kept feeding him until they were both full.
Yin Shaojie stroked her hair as a reward. ¡°I¡¯ll go change then we¡¯ll go to school.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao nodded.
Yin Shaojie leaned close and kissed her on her soft cheek before heading to the changing room.

As Mu Xiaoxiao walked over to the bed to grab her phone, her gaze fell on the drawer. Her gaze wavered a little as she thought about its contents and a sh of amusement darted across her eyes.
¡
It was still ss time, but Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing went to the supermarket.
¡°Xiaoxiao, what did you call me out to buy?¡± Han Qiqing looked at her uprehendingly. She thought that her expression looked enigmatic and dilemmatic.
¡°To¡ to buy that!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, embarrassed.
¡°What¡¯s ¡®that¡¯?¡± Han Qiqing was confused.
Mu Xiaoxiao pulled her to the checkout. Upon making sure that there were no more customers around, she whispered to Qiqing.
¡°¡®That¡¯¡ means this!¡± She pointed to something beside the checkout. They were little boxes that werebeled with brands such as ¡°Durex¡± and ¡°Okamoto.¡±
When Han Qiqing saw what ¡®that¡¯ was, she almost choked.
¡°Ahem, ahem, Xiaoxiao, y-you¡¯re trying to buy this?¡± She looked at Mu Xiaoxiao in disbelief, practically stunned.
¡°Lower your voice!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao tugged at her, gesturing for her to keep her volume low. What if she had been heard?
Han Qiqing looked at her with a weird expression on her face. ¡°It can¡¯t be? You and Yin Shaojie have already¡ But buying such a thing shouldn¡¯t be your job!¡±
Weren¡¯t they usually bought by the guys?
If a girl went out to buy such a thing, wouldn¡¯t she be¡ disying too much initiative?
¡°It¡¯s not what you think it is!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao denied it quickly but she didn¡¯t know how to exin it to her.
She blushed as she whispered, ¡°I just¡ I just¡ don¡¯t want to use the one that Mama Yin bought for us¡¡±
Han Qiqing seemed to understand what she was trying to say. She sniggered and covered her mouth as she said, ¡°I get it. You¡¯re afraid that if Mama Yin sees that you used it she¡¯ll know that you and Yin Shaojie have done it, right?¡±
This was a bashful thing to think about.
Mu Xiaoxiao bit her lip and nodded. ¡°Yeah, so I think it¡¯s better to buy my own.¡±
Also¡ she couldn¡¯t help but think about what expression Yin Shaojie would make if he saw that she prepared this herself.
He would be very surprised right?
Thinking about how he would feel happy because of this made her not mind the embarrassment of buying such a thing.
Han Qiqing hugged her and rocked her from side to side excitedly. She eximed, ¡°Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re so brave! If Yin Shaojie knows that you not only prepared the sexy lingerie for him but also bought such a thing¡ goodness, he¡¯ll be touched to death!¡±
It was supposed to be Xiaoxiao¡¯s birthday, but she was preparing such a huge surprise for Yin Shaojie. Anyone would be touched by such an action.
Mu Xiaoxiao was getting dizzy from her rocking and disentangled from her.
¡°Then¡ how are we supposed to buy it? I don¡¯t know anything! What size should I buy?¡±
Han Qiqing looked at her, stunned. ¡°How would I know? He¡¯s your boyfriend, not mine!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered Yin Shaojie saying ¡°haven¡¯t you touched it before?¡± the previous night and she blushed in spite of herself.
Even if s-she had touched¡
She still didn¡¯t know which size to get!
Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t help butugh at her bashfulness. Worried that she would back out of this, she suggested a good idea, ¡°How about you buy one in every size? Wouldn¡¯t it work?¡±

¡°Then¡ Take it for me!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pushed her forward shyly.
¡°Why should I? You¡¯re buying it, so it¡¯s obvious that you should be the one taking it!¡± Han Qiqing took a step backwards and pushed her forward instead.
¡°Qiqing, just do me this favor!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t dare to take it herself, and the two of them kept pushing the other forward.
Han Qiqing warned her, ¡°There¡¯s no one around right now, so hurry up and take it. If someonees out to check out right now, it¡¯ll be even more embarrassing. Are you going to buy it or not?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated and eyed the checkout counter.
Finally, just as she had made up her mind to walk over, her phone rang.
She looked at the caller ID. It was Yin Shaojie.
Mu Xiaoxiao blushed. Pretending that nothing had happened, she took the call.
¡°Hello?¡±
¡°Why are you not in ss? What did you go to the supermarket to buy?¡± Yin Shaojie asked immediately.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. ¡°How did you know that I was in the supermarket?¡±
Even though she knew that he had a view of her ssroom and that he could tell if she was in ss, how did he know that she was at the supermarket?¡±
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°It isn¡¯t very safe out there so I arranged for people to trail you. Can¡¯t you buy whatever you want in school? Why do you have to go all the way to such a far supermarket?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was afraid that she would bump into schoolmates at the supermarket near the school and thus had walked to one further away.
Unexpectedly, Yin Shaojie had arranged for people to protect her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little stunned. She was d that she didn¡¯t buy it in the end. If not, he would have known about it.
¡°I¡¯m just buying some random things. Stop asking about it. I¡¯ll just head back with Qiqing now.¡±
Yin Shaojie thought about it, but still said worriedly, ¡°I don¡¯t think you should go to ss anymore. Just meet me at the Student Union building directly. I don¡¯t know why but I can¡¯t seem to stop feeling uneasy.¡±
Originally, he wanted to bring her around with him. However, she was behaving weirdly today, insisting that she had to go to ss.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want him to worry and so she nodded and said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go after buying some snacks.¡±
After hanging up, Han Qiqing leaned over and asked, ¡°Was that Yin Shaojie?¡±
¡°Yeah, we¡¯re not getting it today. Let¡¯s go back.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao held her hand and walked out.
¡°You¡¯re not getting it anymore?¡±
¡°Not now. I¡¯ll find another opportunity to buy it.¡± It was Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s first time experiencing how torturous it was to keep a secret.
Suddenly, she felt like she was just asking for it.
It was supposed to be her birthday and she was the one who should be receiving presents. Yin Shaojie should be making tremendous efforts to prepare a surprise for her.
Why was she the one trying so hard to prepare a surprise for him?
No one else would do such a thing!
Han Qiqing felt a little guilty. She thought for a while and said, ¡°How about I just go buy it for you?¡±
She felt very embarrassed to be buying condoms but she didn¡¯t mind risking it for Xiaoxiao.
With that said, Han Qiqing turned towards the counter.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao pulled her back. Shaking her head, she said, ¡°It¡¯s really okay. I¡¯ll just buy it next time.¡±
The two of them walked out of the store and walked in the direction of school.
Because it was now ss time, there weren¡¯t a lot of people out on the street.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiao realized that something was wrong. There were practically no pedestrians on the street and there weren¡¯t a lot of cars either. It gave her a bad feeling.
She thought for a while and pulled at Han Qiqing, walking faster.
¡°Qiqing, let¡¯s walk faster.¡±

Not far from them, a ckmercial vehicle drove out from a nearby alleyway and headed straight towards them.
The vehicle was about to reach Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing.
Suddenly, an SUV appeared out of nowhere, and blocked the path right in front of themercial vehicle.
Themercial vehicle was forced to stop. With a whoosh, the doors to the vehicle opened and a few men stepped out, ring menacingly, and prepared to rush over to where Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing were.
However, in the next second, two men came out of the SUV and confronted them.
Through their gaze, the people from themercial vehicle understood that these two people were not to be messed with. Furiously, they shouted, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±, and the bunch of them entered back into the ckmercial vehicle, turned back, and drove off.
In the SUV, Ning Ruyan was sitting in the driver¡¯s seat with both his hands resting on the steering wheel. Upon confirming that the vehicle had left, he then turned to look at Jun Zeye beside him. His voice was full of questions as he said teasingly, ¡°What are you doing? Trying to be the guardian of a distressed damsel?¡±
Jun Zeye didn¡¯t reply to him and said in a mild voice, ¡°Follow them.¡±
Ning Ruyan¡¯s lips twitched. He started the car and trailed Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing.
He shook his head and looked at Jun Zeye uprehendingly. ¡°This is so weird. Why did you suddenly want to go to school? You don¡¯t usually like going to school. Is it because of her? What¡¯s your rtionship with her? Why do you want to protect her like this?¡±
Ning Ruyan had never seen Jun Zeye act like this before. Trailing a girl secretly? How could Jun Zeye do such an idiotic thing!
If their friends saw this scene, their jaws would definitely drop to the floor.
Jun Zeye changed the subject and asked instead, ¡°What¡¯s up with KO? Is there any news?¡±
Ning Ruyan knew that he didn¡¯t want to answer the question and felt a little exasperated. However, he didn¡¯t want to force his good friend to spill what he didn¡¯t want to say just to satisfy his own curiosity.
¡°There¡¯s no news yet. He really knows how to hide well. No one has found any trace of him. It looks like it¡¯s going to be very hard to dig him out.¡±
After saying this, Ning Ruyan seemed to think of something.
He looked at Mu Xiaoxiao in front and a sh of light came into his eyes.
¡°Oh yeah! Doesn¡¯t KO want to find Mu Xiaoxiao? We can use Mu Xiaoxiao as bait to lure KO out.¡±
Ning Ruyan thought that his idea was brilliant.
However, Jun Zeye rejected him tly.
¡°No way.¡±
Ning Ruyan was puzzled. ¡°Why? Don¡¯t you want to capture KO? Have you forgotten? Your purpose foring to City A is KO! If you miss this opportunity, he¡¯ll escape and leave China. If he leaves the country it¡¯ll be almost impossible to find him again. Have you thought about this before?¡±
Jun Zeye had thought about this, of course.
But¡
He rejected the idea again. ¡°Anyway, no.¡±
Ning Ruyan could only continue to advise him. ¡°I know you¡¯re worried about Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s safety, but we can protect her. It¡¯s no big deal. I¡¯ll just get some of our friends to help out. You know how skilled they are. They¡¯ll protect her.¡±

He couldn¡¯t ensure her total safety, but he was 90 percent sure that she would be safe.
However, Jun Zeye still didn¡¯t agree.
¡°Drop it.¡±
Ning Ruyan looked at him, frowning. ¡°Zeye, why?¡±
In front of them, Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing had already entered Shangde High safely.
Jun Zeye looked away and said to him, ¡°I don¡¯t want her to get hurt.¡±
He then opened the car door and got out.
Ning Ruyan parked the car by the road and followed him out.
¡°Do you know this Mu Xiaoxiao girl from before? You¡¡±
This time, Jun Zeye looked at him directly as he said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk about it. Don¡¯t ask me again.¡±
Ning Ruyan sighed helplessly and raised his hands in a sign of defeat. ¡°Okay, okay, okay, I¡¯ll stop asking. If you need any help from me, feel free to ask.¡±
¡°You should go,¡± Jun Zeye said three words to him before walking over to the school¡¯s entrance.
Ning Ruyan was stunned for a while before chasing after him. With a hurt expression on his face, he said, ¡°You¡¯re being too heartless, aren¡¯t you? How can you chase me away?¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t ask you toe here either.¡±
¡°I¡¯m your good buddy. I¡¯m afraid that you¡¯ll have trouble adjusting to the new school, and so I came over specially to see you. Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go, bring me on a tour around your school.¡±
He had heard that Shangde High was the best school for the elite. If he hadn¡¯t gone to the capital, he would probably have studied here as well.
Jun Zeye was unable to argue against him, and thus the two of them entered the school together.
The security guard wanted to block their way instinctively, but upon noticing how Ning Ruyan carried himself, he let them pass undisturbed.
Meanwhile.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing, who had just entered the school, were hiding behind a building.
¡°Look! I told you there were people following us,¡± Han Qiqing said as she pointed towards Jun Zeye, sounding very proud of herself.
¡°But, why is it him?¡± Han Qiqing was puzzled.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Jun Zeye, and felt some kind of indescribable feeling agitating her.
Was he¡ really protecting her in secret?
If not, how could this be so coincidental? She had gone out of school and he followed her.
Mu Xiaoxiao tugged at Han Qiqing and said, ¡°I don¡¯t think so. Let¡¯s go back to the Student Union building.¡±
Han Qiqing was dragged away by her. However, she still looked puzzled and kept looking back intermittently.
¡°I feel like the guy beside him looks a little familiar, as though I have seen him somewhere before.
Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks.
¡°I remember now! He¡¯s the guy whose surname is Ning!¡±
¡°Who?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help her curiosity.
Han Qiqing pulled her back and peeked out surreptitiously. Pointing at Ning Ruyan, she said, ¡°That¡¯s him! But it¡¯s strange. Why is he here?¡±
¡°Who is he?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was perplexed.
Han Qiqing sneered. ¡°He¡¯s Shijun¡¯s rival! I heard Shijun mention him before and I¡¯ve seen him from afar once. But that¡¯s really long ago.¡±
Her memory was unexpectedly good enough to still retain an impression of him.
¡°Shijun¡¯s rival?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. ¡°Who is he then?¡±
Han Qiqing leaned close to her ear, as though this was a big secret. She whispered, ¡°He is¡ the governor¡¯s son!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. ¡°Is that for real?¡±
If it was real, why was Jun Zeye hanging out with this person?
Han Qiqing said seriously, ¡°Of course it¡¯s for real! Shijun has told me about him several times. He said that that guy is very fake and not a good person! Right now, he looks very well-mannered and those who don¡¯t know better will think that he¡¯s a good person! But this type of person always turns out to be the worst viin in TV dramas! The worst!¡±

¡°But¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao felt like this wasn¡¯t an urate description. She said, ¡°I don¡¯t think he looks like that.¡±
More importantly, that person was Jun Zeye¡¯s friend, right? Jun Zeye had saved her a few times. Even though his expression was always cold, she couldn¡¯t deny that he was a good person.
Thus, that person couldn¡¯t be that bad.
Han Qiqing wagged her finger at her. She advised in earnest, ¡°Xiaoxiao, you¡¯re too naive! Have you never heard of the phrase, ¡®don¡¯t judge a book by its appearance¡¯?¡± Anyway, I am very sure that he isn¡¯t a good person! Absolutely not! A hundred percent!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked into her eyes, puzzled. ¡°Why are you so sure about it?¡±
¡°That¡¯s what Shijun said to me!¡± Han Qiqing pouted and said, ¡°Anyway, I dislike this person. Just looking at him makes me disgusted.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. She came up with a guess and said, ¡°So, you don¡¯t like him just because Shijun said so?¡±
¡°You could say that.¡± Han Qiqing admitted openly.
She was this kind of person. Anyone that her friends didn¡¯t like, she wouldn¡¯t like either.
If she treated you as a friend, then she would stand by your side a hundred percent.
The two of them were whispering in a corner.
Suddenly, a ck shadow fell on them. A strange voice asked, ¡°Am I the person that you say you dislike?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing were stunned, rooted to the spot.
They then looked up.
They saw Ning Ruyan¡¯s handsome, well-mannered smiling face.
¡°Eek!¡± Han Qiqing almost fell back.
Ning Ruyan reached out and grabbed her in time, saving her. Smiling, he said, ¡°Be careful. Don¡¯t fall over.¡±
Upon stabilizing herself, Han Qiqing didn¡¯t thank him, but shook his hand off. ¡°Why did you touch me!¡±
Ning Ruyan looked at her, amused. He narrowed his eyes and stared at her for a while before saying, ¡°I recognize you now. You¡¯re the girl who often hangs out with Song Shijun, right? The heiress¡ of the Hans? I¡¯ve been looking forward to meeting you for a long time.¡±
He extended a hand to her politely. However, Han Qiqing pped it away. ¡°I can¡¯t ept the honor.¡±
Han Qiqing pulled Mu Xiaoxiao back, distancing them from him.
She thought about how he had heard her talking bad about him behind his back and felt embarrassed.
¡°Why were you eavesdropping on other people¡¯s words? Don¡¯t you know that¡¯s rude?¡±
Ning Ruyan smiled as he said, ¡°I think talking bad about other people behind their backs seems to be ruder.¡±
¡°You¡¡± Han Qiqing realized that she couldn¡¯te up with a good retort. This person looked well-mannered, but had sharp eyes, and wasn¡¯t a person to be messed with.
Han Qiqing felt as though she had lost.
She hadn¡¯t thought that him being the governor¡¯s son, and being born into a household of generations of government officials, would make him glib-tongued.
She could argue with Song Shijun and win only because he let her.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
They were already at a disadvantage. They were two girls standing in front of two tall boys and their height difference was enormous. It was better to retreat now.
Han Qiqing harrumphed at him, and wanted to drag Mu Xiaoxiao away.
¡°Xiaoxiao, let¡¯s go!¡±
¡°Hang on.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao disentangled her hand and stared at Jun Zeye as she walked over to him.
She hesitated before saying, ¡°I¡ have a question I want to ask you. May I?¡±

Jun Zeye looked at her. His lips moved slightly as he said mildly, ¡°No.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She didn¡¯t expect him to answer this way.
If she had known, she wouldn¡¯t have said thatst sentence, and would have just asked directly.
However, Jun Zeye ignored her, and turned to leave.
Ning Ruyan smiled at them, and even waved to them. ¡°We¡¯ll see each other again if we have affinity. Bye.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to see you again!¡± Han Qiqing returned.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. She looked at Jun Zeye¡¯s silhouette and really wanted to chase after him.
However, Han Qiqing tugged at her. ¡°Xiaoxiao, let¡¯s go.¡±
Since she lost the opportunity to chase after him, Mu Xiaoxiao let it go and the two of them walked towards the Student Union building.
Outside the Student Union building.
Ning Ruyan was right beside Jun Zeye with his back against a tree. He looked at him and said teasingly, ¡°You were pretending to be so cool just now.¡±
Wasn¡¯t he just following them secretly earlier?
¡°Alright, she entered safely. Are you at ease now?¡±
Jun Zeye looked away. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±
Ning Ruyan was plucking the leaves off the tree in boredom. Upon seeing that Jun Zeye was leaving, he followed.
¡°Hey, are you really not going to tell me what your rtionship with her is? You seem to care about her a lot. If you tell me that you don¡¯t have some kind of rtionship with her, I won¡¯t believe you.¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t say that,¡± Jun Zeye said mildly.
Ning Ruyan was speechless.
So, was he saying that he didn¡¯t say that he didn¡¯t have some kind of rtionship with Mu Xiaoxiao? Wasn¡¯t this admitting that they had some sort of special rtionship between them?
¡°What¡¯s your rtionship then?¡± Ning Ruyan had never been more curious. He really wanted to know the answer to this riddle.
Jun Zeye looked at him and threw him a sentence. ¡°I can¡¯t say.¡±
Luckily, Ning Ruyan already knew that he wouldn¡¯t say a thing and thus sighed exasperatedly.
He asked, ¡°Where are we going then? You probably don¡¯t have to go back to ss, right?¡±
This guy didn¡¯te to school for ss anyway.
Jun Zeye looked at him and said, ¡°We¡¯re going to find KO.¡±
Going on like this wasn¡¯t a solution. They had to strike at its root.
¡
At the Student Union building.
¡°Xiaoxiao, what are you looking at?¡± Han Qiqing looked at her uprehendingly. When they entered the building, Xiaoxiao suddenly ran up hurriedly, found a corner, and peeked out of the window, as though she were searching for something.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t answer her. Her gaze as fixed straight in front of her and she looked as though she were daydreaming.
¡°Xiaoxiao?¡± Han Qiqing pushed her a little. Upon getting no reaction, she shook her.
It was as though Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s pressure point had been hit and she returned her senses.
¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± she said.
Han Qiqing looked puzzled as she followed behind.She asked curiously once more, ¡°Xiaoxiao, what were you looking at just now?¡±
¡°I was seeing if he was following me,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao mumbled.
Jun Zeye was still following her, just as she had expected.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought about how he had refused to answer her question earlier. His behavior seemed to reinforce the idea that he was avoiding something on purpose.
Could it be that he knew what she was going to ask?
Upstairs, Mu Xiaoxiao walked to Yin Shaojie office instinctively.
¡°Xiaoxiao,¡± a familiar voice rang out beside her ear.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t notice it, and continued in the direction of the office.
¡°Xiaoxiao?¡± This time, the voice sounded questioning and a hand reached out to stop her.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked up, and felt herself fall into Yin Shaojie¡¯s obsidian gaze.
¡°What were you daydreaming about? You didn¡¯t react even after I called you so many times,¡± Yin Shaojie smiled as he said.
¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± She shook her head instinctively. Pulling her cheeks, she smiled at him. ¡°Is your meeting over?¡±
Yin Shaojie held her little hand and pulled her into his office.
¡°Where are the snacks?¡± he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao was perplexed. ¡°What snacks?¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t you go to the supermarket to buy snacks?¡± Yin Shaojie looked at her hands. His dark eyes were smiling but their depth had a wisdom that seemed to be able to see through her heart.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart shivered and she felt as though her lie had been exposed.
She was so silly. How could she have lied to him?
Since she was young, she had never been able to lie to him sessfully.
Especially not with such a tant lie.
Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her nose and said, ¡°Actually, Qiqing and I didn¡¯t go out to buy snacks¡¡±
¡°What did you go to the supermarket for then?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stuck her tongue out at him, ¡°I¡¯m not telling you!¡±
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes and pinched her nose with his long, slender fingers. ¡°How dare you not tell me. Hurry up and tell me!¡±
¡°I just don¡¯t want to tell you. It¡¯s a secret between us girls. Why must I tell you?¡±
Han Qiqing stood at the door, watching the lovers flirt. She felt as though she shouldn¡¯t stay and be a gooseberry.
¡°Um¡ I¡¯ll go find Shijun.¡±
With that said, she turned to leave and even closed the door considerately.
Thus, the pair were left alone in the room.
Yin Shaojie moved closer. Mu Xiaoxiao took a few steps back and felt her back hit the office desk.
He instinctively trapped her between himself and the table.
¡°Are you going to tell me?¡± He sounded threatening.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed. ¡°Nope!¡±
Yin Shaojie leaned his handsome face very close. His masculine aura was distinctly in her face now which made her feel moved.
¡°How dare you keep things from me? You¡¯ll be punished now.¡±
He then kissed her.
Their tongues danced around in each other¡¯s mouths.
Yin Shaojie lifted his head. His dark eyes were smiling as he looked at her, and he said in a sexy voice, ¡°I know now.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart thumped twice quickly. ¡°What do you know?¡±
Yin Shaojieughed, ¡°Did you go and eat sweets secretly? If not, why is your mouth so sweet?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was amused by his random sweet talk andughed.
¡°No, I went to eat stinky tofu!¡± She pouted at him deliberately.
¡°Is it stinky? Let me have a taste again.¡±
He then kissed her once more.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mouth was now in his, but there was a smile ying in the corner of her lips.
¡
Bright sunlight streamed in through the window into the room.
The pair were sitting upright on the sofa. Mu Xiaoxiao was leaning on Yin Shaojie¡¯s body, her legs bent, with an iPad on her knees as she watched a drama.
Yin Shaojie was looking at some documents. asionally, his pen moved and he made an annotation on the papers.
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her gaze and looked at him.
She was unable to look away from his perfectly sculpted profile.
Even though she had grown up looking at his face, she didn¡¯t know when she started feeling moved when she looked at his face.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s lips lifted in a sweet smile.
¡°What are you smiling about?¡± Yin Shaojie asked. His eyes had not left the documents in front of him, but he seemed to see her every move.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him, snorted, and said sulkily, ¡°I¡¯m regretting it now.¡±
¡°What do you regret?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao answered, ¡°I regret having gotten together with you so quickly!¡±
Hearing that, Yin Shaojie turned his gaze to her contemtively. He put down the documents and pen, turned to face her and asked, ¡°You regret it? Why?¡±
If it weren¡¯t for the smile on her face, he might have taken it seriously.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted andined to him, ¡°I just remembered that you didn¡¯t even court me. You didn¡¯t do anything like what they do in the television dramas like courting and confessing your love. It seems like we just got together for some inexplicable reason. I missed out on all that!¡±
Yin Shaojie took a quick nce at the iPad in her hand and reached out to take it away from her.
¡°Don¡¯t watch so many idol dramas. They teach you the wrong stuff.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao sat cross-legged, looking at him as she asked, ¡°Do you think there is ack of passion in our rtionship?¡±
They didn¡¯t even date before bing a pair.
¡°Passion?¡± Yin Shaojie raised his eyebrow slightly, his long fingers pinched her jaw as he kabedonned her on the sofa. His thin, sexy lips came closer to her and his manly pheromones enveloped her.
¡°If you want passion, isn¡¯t that easy to get? I can give you as much as you want¡¡±
She actually dared to say that there was ack of passion between them?
Why didn¡¯t she ask herself whose fault that was?
Seeing as he was about to kiss her and his other hand was about to go underneath her clothes, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face reddened. She pushed her hands against his chest and quickly exined, ¡°This isn¡¯t what I¡¯m talking about!¡±
She shouldn¡¯t have let him misinterpret it.
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°Not this passion? Is there some other kind?¡±
¡°No¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said grouchily. ¡°I mean the feeling of falling in love! Don¡¯t you think that there seems to be something missing in our rtionship?¡±
Could this be the downside of knowing each other too well?
It seemed like the days of youthful, ignorant, romantic love was over so quickly.
Yin Shaojie nodded. ¡°Indeed.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought he understood what she meant, and she nodded, ¡°So, should we then¡¡±
¡°So, when will you be ready?¡± Yin Shaojie asked, staring at her eyes fixedly.
¡°Ready for what?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said quizzically. Why did it feel as though they weren¡¯t talking about the same thing?
Yin Shaojie got up, his right hand holding her little hand.
His eyes fixed upon hers. With a look in his eyes, he smiled and said, ¡°Ready¡ to move on to the next phase. Didn¡¯t you say that we were missing something? After we do it, you won¡¯t feel that way anymore.¡±
Do¡ do what?
Mu Xiaoxiao immediately understood what he meant and she pushed him bashfully. ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t care about other phases. This is the phase that we should be thinking about. When will you ready?¡±
Yin Shaojie put his warm palm against her delicate cheek, looking at her with a deep gaze.
He had been waiting all this time and he was about to go crazy waiting.
¡°W-why are you so impatient¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was embarrassed by him staring at her with that scorching gaze.
Fortunately, she controlled herself.
If not for the n, she would tell him that she was prepared for it.

She looked forward to the future with uncertainty, wondering if their rtionship might take a turn if they were to proceed to that stage.
Would¡ would he like her body?
If after he had done it with her and realized that it didn¡¯t feel as good as he had initially imagined, would he be disappointed?
Men were animals that thought with their lower body part. If they weren¡¯tpatible in this aspect, would that change his feelings for her?
Mu Xiaoxiao had seen many examples of this while she was studying in America.
Couples whom at first were so passionately in love, upon realizing that they weren¡¯t quitepatible after they have done the deed, broke up soon after.
This was one of the reasons why she was hesitant to proceed to thest stage.
Actually, she was also afraid that she wasn¡¯t the perfect partner for him¡
Cupping her little face in his hand, Yin Shaojie sighed, his eyes brooding as he said, ¡°Because I¡¯m also a little scared.¡±
¡°What are you scared of?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao noticed that he had serious look in his eyes.
Yin Shaojie ran his fingers through her hair and he said quietly. ¡°I don¡¯t know how to put it. It¡¯s just a feeling.¡±
Though he had a great desire to move on to the most intimate step with her, what he was more concerned about was how she would feel about it.
But recently¡
He didn¡¯t know what was up with him. There was a feeling of unease that burdened him and wouldn¡¯t go away.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him and pursed her lips. She went up to hug him and rested her head on his shoulder.
She thought, ¡°Bear with it for a while. The time wille soon.¡±
¡°Soon you¡¯ll be able to get what you¡¯ve been longing for.¡±
¡
Meanwhile.
Upon getting information on a suspected address where KO could be hiding, Jun Zeye and Ning Ruyan drove over there to find out if he really was there.
¡°This is quite a remote location. It looks like it might be real,¡± Ning Ruyan said, turning his head as he cast a nce at Jun Zeye. Jun Zeye was looking out the window, thinking about something.
Ning Ruyan¡¯s expression changed, and he deliberately shouted, ¡°Hey! Isn¡¯t that Mu Xiaoxiao?¡±
Sure enough, Jun Zeye reacted immediately to it, turning to look in the direction where Ning Ruyan was facing.
There was no Mu Xiaoxiao around. Ning Ruyan was just pulling his leg.
¡°You¡¯reme.¡± Jun Zeye frowned and shot him a look.
Ning Ruyan smiled and said, ¡°Yeah. But didn¡¯t you fall for it?¡±
How could Jun Zeye fall for something like that? How could he fall for it unless he cared so much that it got the better of him?
It seemed that Mu Xiaoxiao held quite a special ce in his heart.
Jun Zeye looked at him and said, ¡°Don¡¯t ever joke about her again.¡±
¡°You¡¯re angry?¡± Ning Ruyan asked surprisingly. Although Jun Zeye kept his cool demeanor, he wasn¡¯t someone who couldn¡¯t take a joke. It could even be said that he was someone who was pretty good at taking jokes because no matter how he was teased, he would always kept the same mild expression as though he didn¡¯t mind it.
Before Jun Zeye could answer, his cell phone rang.
Jun Zeye nced at the caller ID and quickly answered the call.
An old, loving voice was heard over the phone.
¡°Ah Ze, when will you being back home? Grandma misses you.¡±
Jun Zeye¡¯s expression seemed to have softened a little. ¡°When do you want me to go back?¡±
Hearing that, his grandmother was ted. ¡°Of course, the sooner the better. It¡¯d be best if you cane back immediately. It¡¯ll be your birthday in a few days time. Grandma wants to celebrate your birthday with you. Would you like that?¡±

¡°Mm, alright.¡± Jun Zeye replied to her, but his eyes seemed distracted as he looked ahead.
Ning Ruyan nced at him and signaled to him that they would arrive soon.
Jun Zeye then told his grandmother that he was busy and that he had to hang up.
As Ning Ruyan parked the car stealthily under the shade of a tree, he looked at Jun Zeye and said softly, ¡°Are you going back to the capital? When?¡±
¡°I haven¡¯t decided on a date yet,¡± Jun Zeye said as he checked the location against the map and confirmed that they were in the right ce.
Ning Ruyan said, ¡°Shall I go back to the capital with you?¡±
¡°No.¡± Jun Zeye shook his head.
Seeing as he didn¡¯t look very certain, Ning Ruyan couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Is it because you don¡¯t actually want to go back?¡±
From what he knew about Jun Zeye, his ability was very strong. If he were to decide that he would go back, he would immediately decide on which date he would return.
However, he couldn¡¯te up with a date this time for some reason.
Jun Zeye said nothing as he unbuckled the seat belt, opened the door, and got out of the car.
Ning Ruyan followed after him.
¡°Stay inside,¡± Jun Zeye called out to stop his partner. His straight eyebrows furrowed as he said to him, ¡°You don¡¯t have a gun. Just stay in the car.¡±
If KO was really hiding here, then they must have weapons. Ning Ruyan didn¡¯t have a gun with him, unlike Jun Zeye. It¡¯d be dangerous for him to go in like that.
¡°It okay, I can protect myself.¡± Ning Ruyan said confidently.
¡°I know.¡± Jun Zeye knew how good Ning Ruyan was, but he had a sharp feeling of unease, so he thought it better for Ning Ruyan to stay in the car.
His intuition was always urate.
Seeing the look in his eyes, Ning Ruyan hesitated for a moment. Then, he nodded reluctantly.
¡
At the Student Union President¡¯s Office.
Mu Xiaoxiao was lying on the sofa, taking a nap. Suddenly, as though she had a nightmare, she suddenly woke up, her chest rising and falling vigorously as she looked around with a trembling gaze.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yin Shaojie noticed it almost immediately as he pushed away the chair and walked over to her side.
He touched her forehead. It was covered in cold sweat.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head in a daze. Looking distracted, her brows wrinkled as she said, ¡°I think¡ I had a nightmare.¡±
¡°What nightmare?¡± Yin Shaojie asked worriedly. He reached for a tissue and wiped the sweat off her forehead.
¡°I forgot¡¡±
Yin Shaojie let go of her, went to pour her a cup of warm water before returning and handing it to Xiaoxiao to drink.
Upon drinking the water Mu Xiaoxiao calmed down and felt better. But there was still a stifling feeling in her.
¡°Are you feeling better now?¡± Yin Shaojie helped to adjust her hair.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded faintly, but she still didn¡¯t look too good.
Yin Shaojie picked up the cell phone and sent a text message to someone.
Then he kept Xiaoxiaopany and had a casual chat with her.
After ten minutes, someone knocked on the door.
¡°Come in,¡± Yin Shaojie said.
His assistant, Wu Hao, opened the door and entered, carrying a paper box in his hand. He walked up deferentially, smiling as he said, ¡°Young Master Jie, this is the thing you asked for.¡±
¡°Alright, just leave it there.¡± Yin Shaojie pointed at the coffee table in front.
Wu Hao went to put it down.
Mu Xiaoxiao nced at him and said, ¡°Eh, it seems that I haven¡¯t seen you in a while.¡±
Wu Hao greeted her with a smile. ¡°Miss Mu, it¡¯s been a long time. I went to a school overseas for a period of time as our school have ns for student exchange next semester, so I was sent to learn more about it.¡±
Chapter 1391 - He Treats You Unusually Well (2)

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Oh, I see.¡±
Wu Hao was tactful. Seeing as she seemed uninterested to continue the conversation, he left.
Hugging a pillow, Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the paper box on the table and asked curiously, ¡°What did you tell him to buy?¡±
Why did this box looked so much like¡
¡°What do you think?¡± Yin Shaojie chuckled, returning her with a question.
He took the paper box, took away the pillow from her hand,id it t, and he ced the paper box on top of the pillow. Then he slowly opened it.
The strawberry cake inside was revealed.
Mu Xiaoxiao had already guessed it, but she still gave a surprised expression.
¡°Awesome!¡±
Seeing that her mood got better quickly, a smile appeared on his face as he handed the fork to her. ¡°Dig in.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she looked at him. Then she went up and gave him a peck on his dashing face.
¡°Thanks!¡±
It was great that she had such a thoughtful boyfriend.
In just a few bites, Mu Xiaoxiao finished half of the cake, looking happy as her eyes turned into crescents.
She then realized something as she brought a small piece of the cake before him. ¡°Do you want to eat some?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Yin Shaojie smiled. But he moved her hand away, leaned forward, and licked the cream off her lips.
¡°Hey!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him, embarrassed.
Yin Shaojie smiled as he ate a piece of cake off the fork. Then he deliberately brought his lips in front of her, pointing at himself as he said, ¡°You wanna try it? It feels pretty good eating like this.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao grinned and pushed his face away. ¡°No. I¡¯m not letting you eat anymore!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t forget. I was the one who bought it for you. Let me have another bite.¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s all mine!¡±
It was only a small cake. Couldn¡¯t he just let her eat it without all this fuss?
¡°Why didn¡¯t you buy more of this?¡± she grumbled.
Yin Shaojie put his hand on her shoulder. Seeing that she was acting lively again, he was relieved.
Looking as though he had a sudden realization, he said, ¡°Oh yeah. I should have bought you the whole cake and let you have it all. Maybe then you can gain a little more weight, huh?¡±
Upon hearing of gaining weight, Mu Xiaoxiao immediately refused him. ¡°Then I don¡¯t want it anymore!¡±
She didn¡¯t want to get fat.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm rested on her slim, curvy waist.
¡°You should gain a little weight,¡± heughed.
Tickled by his touch, she swatted his hand away. ¡°No, I don¡¯t want to gain weight. I¡¯ll be a fat pig.¡±
¡°Do guys like the meatier feel?¡± she asked.
Yin Shaojie thought for a moment. ¡°Yes, and no.¡±
¡°What does that mean?¡± What did he mean ¡®yes¡¯ and ¡®no¡¯.
Yin Shaojie deliberately turned his gaze to her chest, speaking in a suggestive manner, ¡°It¡±s better to have more meat in some areas so it¡¯ll feel better when touching¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao noticed where he was looking. With a red face and an outstretched hand, she was going to hit him. ¡°Yin Shaojie! You pervert!¡±
Yin Shaojie chuckled. Hisrge hand reached out and caught her little hand in his palm.
With an agonized expression, he said, ¡°What to do now? I¡¯m having that feeling again. Why don¡¯t we relive that feeling and do it again?¡±
His sudden dirty joke caught her off guard.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was red from his teasing. ¡°Relive with your damn head!¡±
Hearing that, Yin Shaojie replied in a serious manner, ¡°My head could work too.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was unsure whether tough or cry, ¡°Get lost!¡±
She pushed him off the sofa.
Yin Shaojie bounced up and pulled her back into his arms. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll stop ying.¡±

¡°Who¡¯s ying with you? Didn¡¯t you hear the school bell for ss starting soon? I¡¯m going to ss!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pointed outside.
¡°Aren¡¯t you here to apany me? What ss? Forget it.¡±
The Great Master Yin rarely told her to skip ss.
What was even more rare was Mu Xiaoxiao insisting on going to ss.
¡°I¡¯m a good student. Of course I have to go to ss. You be good. Stay here and do your work. After school, I¡¯lle and pick you up. I¡¯ll apany you then!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, her tone as if she were talking to a Kindergarten child, telling him that she woulde back to get him after school.
Yin Shaojie grabbed her wrist and pointed to his face. ¡°Give me a kiss before you go.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was in a good mood, so she went up and kissed him twice.
¡°I gave you one more. I¡¯m going then. Bye!¡±
However, Yin Shaojie grabbed her, holding her hand in his tightly as he left the office with her.
¡°What are you doing?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was perplexed.
Yin Shaojie smiled as he looked at her. ¡°I¡¯ll take you to the ssroom.¡±
¡°Huh? You don¡¯t need to do that!¡±
They were in school. She didn¡¯t need to be escorted, did she?
However, Yin Shaojie was insistent as he held her little hand and walked her to Year One¡¯s ss S.
Unsurprisingly, the two instantly became the center of attention. The people nearby started talking among themselves. Infatuated, the girls screamed excitedly as they watched Yin Shaojie.
Mu Xiaoxiao was annoyed by the noise as she picked her ear. She shot a look at Yin Shaojie irritably and said, ¡°Go already!¡±
If this guy were to stay here, the girls would get out of control.
Yin Shaojie took a look inside. He didn¡¯t see Jun Zeye but Feng Tianqi was there.
Yin Shaojie rubbed her cheek with his finger and said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be going. Remember to pick me up after school and you¡¯re not allowed to skip sses, got it?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was amused. She was only joking earlier, but he actually went along with it and told her to pick him up.
¡°Go already.¡±
Yin Shaojie then turned and walked down the stairs.
A bunch of girls followed behind him staring at him, madly smitten.
This wasn¡¯t the first time that Mu Xiaoxiao saw something like this, but it still seemed overly dramatic.
Although Yin Shaojie had charming qualities like being handsome, rich, and having a strong personality, these girls didn¡¯t have to behave as if they had never seen a man before, right?
Thinking how infatuated they were over her man, Mu Xiaoxiao felt what seemed like a strange bit of jealousy.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and was about to enter the ssroom.
Suddenly, there was a scream. Then, someone shouted, ¡°A girl is confessing to Young Master Jie! Where did she get the guts to do that?¡±
Confessing to Yin Shaojie?
Mu Xiaoxiao slowly stepped back out and walked over to the railing.
Many people were crowding at the railing, but as soon as she approached, one of them automatically made way for her.
Mu Xiaoxiao poked her head out and looked down.
There was a very pretty girl standing in front of Yin Shaojie and talking to him.
¡°Eh? This girl is not a student from our school, is she? She¡¯s so pretty, I¡¯ve never seen her before!¡±
¡°Probably. If she were a student from our school, why would she dare to confess to Young Master Jie knowing that he already has Mu Xiaoxiao? That¡¯s courting death.¡±
¡°How do you think Young Master Jie will respond? The girl is really pretty!¡±
¡°I want to know what Young Master Jie said to her!¡±
Chapter 1393 - He Treats You Unusually Well (4)

Just as the crowd was getting curious, they saw a gorgeous and handsome figure walking towards the Year One building. Because Yin Shaojie was on the first floor, the two of them practically brushed shoulders.
¡°Ah! Jun Zeye! Jun Zeye is here!¡± The girls were excited and screamed fanatically.
¡°Eh!! Young Master Jie seems to have stopped Jun Zeye!¡±
The crowd gasped.
It turned out that Yin Shaojie was ignoring the girl who had confessed but turned around to talk to Jun Zeye, who had just walked by him.
¡°Do they actually know each other?¡±
¡°Probably not, right? They didn¡¯t greet each other during the bombing incidentst time. After Jun Zeye defused the bomb, he just left immediately. If he knew Young Master Jie he would have talked to him for a while, right?¡±
¡°That sounds possible. Could it be because of Mu Xiaoxiao? Isn¡¯t Jun Zeye Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s deskmate? I think Young Master Jie must be jealous and that he¡¯s warning Jun Zeye not to have any ideas about Mu Xiaoxiao.¡±
¡°I think so too!¡±
¡°Do you think that they¡¯ll fight? If they do, who do you think will win?¡±
¡°What should we do! I really want to see them fight. Jun Zeye looks really strong and I¡¯ve heard that Young Master Jie is also a capable fighter.¡±
The two of them were fighting?
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao started to worry.
She had witnessed both Jun Zeye and Yin Shaojie¡¯s abilities before. Both of them were really skilled to the point that it was unfathomable. If they really started fighting, she wasn¡¯t sure who would emerge victorious.
But no matter what, someone would get hurt if they fought. That couldn¡¯t happen!
Mu Xiaoxiao watched them anxiously. However, she was unable to make out their exchange, though she could feel the atmosphere of tension even from this distance.
Anyway, what they were discussing didn¡¯t look pleasant.
She hesitated a little.
Argh, f*ck it!
She was going down to prevent an actual fight from erupting between them.
However, just as Mu Xiaoxiao was about to walk toward the stairs, someone caught her arm.
¡°What!¡± She twisted her arm to hit the person, but upon looking, saw that it was actually Feng Tianqi.
She red at him. ¡°Why are you pulling my arm?¡±
¡°Are you going down?¡± Feng Tianqi asked. He pulled her back.
He was stronger and Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t fight him. She staggered back to the front of the pir.
¡°I want to go downstairs,¡± she said, trying to twist herself from his grasp.
Feng Tianqi nced down and smiled as he said, ¡°Why bother? Let them fight. I want to see who¡¯s better.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him angrily. ¡°Let go!¡±
¡°Nope.¡± Feng Tianqi was grinning mischievously, though there was no malice in his eyes. Rather, he thought this whole affair was amusing.
He said, ¡°I¡¯ve long since felt that Jun Zeye treats you differently. Does he like you? It¡¯s normal for Yin Shaojie to protect what¡¯s his, but you¡¯re the weird one here. Does Yin Shaojie know that you¡¯re so protective of Jun Zeye?¡±
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face morphed into an expression of shock as she pointed to the sky and shouted, ¡°Look! There¡¯s a bomber aircraft!¡±
Feng Tianqi turned to look instinctively, and immediately realized that he had been tricked.
Sh*! How could he have been duped by such an obvious lie!
Mu Xiaoxiao shook his hand off and dashed in the direction of the stairs.
When she was halfway down she heard someone exim, ¡°They¡¯ve started fighting! They¡¯ve started fighting!¡±

There was a single flight of stairs left, but upon hearing that they were starting to fight, Mu Xiaoxiao fell into distress and rushed down the stairs at an even faster pace, but missed a step.
¡°AH!¡± Her scream pierced the air.
Mu Xiaoxiao had almost rolled down the stairs. She was now kneeling on the steps but she had twisted her ankle and a wave of pain washed over her.
Upon hearing the scream, the two people outside seemed to recognize her voice immediately and sprinted over.
¡°Xiaoxiao!¡± Yin Shaojie dashed up the stairs in big leaps and looked at her with worry.
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head. Ignoring the pain in her leg, she said to them, ¡°Don¡¯t fight!¡±
Yin Shaojie and Jun Zeye exchanged a nce.
¡°We weren¡¯t fighting.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him with suspicion. ¡°I heard them say the fight was starting. Weren¡¯t you fighting?¡±
Yin Shaojie turned back and swept his gaze across the crowd. Sneering, he said, ¡°How can you believe people who want to stir up trouble?¡±
He knelt down and tried to pull her up.
Mu Xiaoxiao grabbed his arm and frowned in pain. ¡°It hurts, it hurts! Stop tugging at me!¡±
¡°Where¡¯s the paining from?¡± Yin Shaojie thought she had not fallen and thought she was alright. Upon hearing that she was hurt, his heart started to clench.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and shrugged. ¡°I think I twisted my ankle.¡±
Yin Shaojie leaned forward and picked her up gently. Mu Xiaoxiao clung onto his neck without hesitation.
Everyone¡¯s gaze was on them, but they were all collectively holding their breath, not daring to make a sound.
They only watched as Yin Shaojie carried Mu Xiaoxiao and hurried to the school infirmary.
Jun Zeye followed behind.
¡°Doctor!¡± Yin Shaojie shouted the moment he entered and ced Mu Xiaoxiao onto a bed.
However, there was no sign of the doctor even after he called out a few times.
Yin Shaojie straightened Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s leg and inspected the surface. Touching it with a finger, he asked, ¡°Does it hurt?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was in agony as she said, ¡°Yes!¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned. ¡°Wait here and don¡¯t move. I¡¯ll go find the doctor.¡±
D*mmit, where was the doctor?
Right after Yin Shaojie walked out, Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head to look at Jun Zeye and asked, ¡°What did he tell you earlier? Did you really not fight?¡±
¡°No,¡± Jun Zeye replied mildly. He walked over to the bed and half-squatted, reaching out to touch her twisted ankle.
¡°Don¡¯t touch it!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao voiced out to stop him.
¡°Let me see it,¡± Jun Zeye said, his long and slender fingers already pressing on her ankle.
Mu Xiaoxiao gasped. ¡°Ouch, ouch, ouch! Don¡¯t press so hard!¡±
Jun Zeye looked towards her. His brows were slightly furrowed as he said, ¡°Your leg muscles are a little out of alignment and have to be straightened. Endure the pain for a while. I¡¯ll straighten it for you.¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. Upon seeing how serious he looked, she couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Did you learn first aid?¡±
¡°No,¡± he replied honestly.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
In the next second, he exerted strength forcefully. A wave of pain crashed into her ankle and it felt as though it were going to break.
¡°AH! IT HURTS! STOP!¡± She tried to push him away.
After a few seconds, Jun Zeye released her leg.
Mu Xiaoxiao was in so much pain that her tears were on the verge of falling. Looking at her leg miserably, she said in a crying tone, ¡°It hurts¡ I¡¯m going to die of pain¡¡±
Jun Zeye looked at the tears in the corner of her eyes and her pitiful little face that was wrinkled up like a bun. She really looked as though she were in great pain.

Mu Xiaoxiao was still in pain, and sniffled as she sobbed.
Jun Zeye pursed his lips. He reached into his pocket, felt around, and grabbed ahold of something. Just as he was hesitating over whether he should take it out, Yin Shaojie returned.
¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why are you crying?¡± Yin Shaojie rushed over and touched Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s cheeks, wiping her tears away with his fingers.
Mu Xiaoxiao shot a look at Jun Zeye as the pain subsided.
Jun Zeye knew that she was alright now, so he said mildly, ¡°Take care, I¡¯ll be leaving now.¡±
With that, he left.
Yin Shaojie stared at Mu Xiaoxiao and questioned her. ¡°What happened between the both of you while I was gone?¡±
¡°He just¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao pointed to her leg. ¡°He did something to my leg and I almost died in pain, but I¡¯m feeling much better now. Where¡¯s the doctor? Were you unable to find him?¡±
Yin Shaojie said angrily, ¡°I don¡¯t know. They must have all died!¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯m alright now anyway.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want him to rage against the doctors. He seemed to be a little angry from his expression.
She reached out to hug his arm and smiled sweetly.
Upon inspecting her ankle, Yin Shaojie realized what Jun Zeye did.
¡°Does it still hurt?¡± He touched it lightly.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyelid twitched. ¡°It still hurts a little, but it¡¯s not as painful as earlier. It¡¯s only superficial pain now.¡±
¡°It¡¯s weird that it isn¡¯t hurting. See, it¡¯s red and swollen. How can it not hurt? Also, why were you rushing down the stairs? You¡¯re lucky you didn¡¯t fall down,¡± Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t help but chastise her.
¡°What, are you ming me? This should be your fault!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was upset, pushing the me to him as she jabbed a finger at his chest. ¡°Who asked you to stop him? What did you say to him? If I wasn¡¯t worried that you were going to fight, why would I rush down the stairs and almost fall?¡±
She jabbed him a few more times.
¡°Tell me! Whose fault is it then?¡±
Yin Shaojie couldn¡¯t argue over her. He wrapped hisrge hands over her finger and said forgivingly, ¡°Okay, it was my fault, alright? What? Why were you so worried? Feeling guilty about something?¡±
He looked at her with suspicion as he said thest four words.
Mu Xiaoxiao swallowed a little guiltily. ¡°Who said I¡¯m guilty about anything! It¡¯s because someone tried to fan the mes and said you were going to fight. I was worried that both of you would get hurt because you¡¯re good fighters.¡±
¡°You¡¯re afraid that he¡¯d have gotten hurt?¡± Yin Shaojie honed in on this, his tone sour.
Mu Xiaoxiao hurried to amend her words. ¡°Of course it¡¯s you I¡¯m worried would get hurt! But¡ you also know that he saved me before, so he can be considered my savior, right? If you were to fight him, wouldn¡¯t I be requiting his kindness with enmity?¡±
Yin Shaojie thought about it. He understood her words as: they were one, so he represented her
¡°I wasn¡¯t going to fight him, just talk to him for a little,¡± Yin Shaojie exined.
He didn¡¯t need to tell her that he had actually considered brawling with Jun Zeye.
¡°What did you tell him?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was curious and wanted to know.
Chapter 1396 - He Was the One Who Coddled Me (2)
Chapter 1396: He Was the One Who Coddled Me (2)
They were strangers, so what did they have to talk about?
Could they have been discussing her?
If it was about her, she naturally wanted to know about it!
Yin Shaojie looked at her. Suddenly, he reached out to pinch her nose and harrumphed on purposed. ¡°Not telling!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao puffed out her cheeks and grumbled, ¡°Why won¡¯t you tell me! It must be about me, right? Tell me, tell me¡¡±
She hugged his arm and acted coy.
However, her coyness quickly turned into pummeling her little fists on his body.
The two of them bantered noisily.
Jun Zeye walked out of the sick bay and bumped into Feng Tianqi, who was heading his way.
Feng Tianqi asked hastily the moment he saw him, ¡°How¡¯s Xiaoxiao? Where is she hurt? Is it serious?¡±
¡°She¡¯s okay now,¡± Jun Zeye replied mildly and continued walking.
Feng Tianqi was surprised that he actually answered him.
Jun Zeye had his right hand in his pocket and looked super cool. Seeing Jun Zeye¡¯s silhouette, Feng Tianqi couldn¡¯t help but make a dig at him, ¡°Stop acting cool!¡±
He turned around and entered the sick bay.
Meanwhile, further ahead, Jun Zeye stopped suddenly. Looking down, he removed his right hand from his pocket, something sped in it.
He opened his palm to reveal some candy.
He gazed at it meaningfully for a while before closing his palm and walked away.
¡
After getting Feng Tianqi to go away, Mu Xiaoxiaoy on the bed, looking at Yin Shaojie treating her with an icepress.
¡°This¡¯ll only take a while, right? It¡¯s so cold!¡±
Yin Shaojie switched thepress out for a new one. Looking up at her, he said, ¡°It¡¯ll be done after this.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stuffed her hands behind her head and looked up at the ceiling. Sighing long and loud, she said, ¡°I¡¯m so bored. I suddenly feel like eating something.¡±
Just then, her phone beeped with a WeChat notification.
She scooped up her phone. It was Qiqing who had sent her a WeChat message, asking if she was okay.
Had the news of her injury already spread through the entire school?
Mu Xiaoxiao replied, I¡¯m okay, I only twisted my ankle. I¡¯m in the sick bay now. Do you want toe over? Buy me some snacks if you are. I¡¯m so bored.
Qiqing replied in a second. ¡°OK. I¡¯lle over right now!¡±
Yin Shaojie noticed that she was in high spirits and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Who¡¯s that?¡±
¡°It¡¯s Qiqing. She says she wants toe over,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she answered. It was only then that she realized that Qiqing might be in ss. Wouldn¡¯t it be bad to y truant in the middle of ss?
Mu Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue.
A secondter, she got another WeChat notification. This time, the sender was Song Shijun.
Mu Xiaoxiao replied hurriedly, telling him not toe over.
Please, she wasn¡¯t injured badly. It was only a twisted ankle and she was already in the school¡¯s sick bay. It didn¡¯t warrant everyoneing to see her.
In under ten minutes, Han Qiqing arrived at the sick bay.
¡°You¡¯re here already?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her in surprise, her gaze falling to the bag she was holding.
Han Qiqing smiled as she walked over, cing the full stic bag right in front of her.
¡°Here, your snacks!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but marvel, ¡°Qiqing, aren¡¯t you a little too fast? Did you fly over here?¡±
From what she remembered, the Year Two building was far from the sick bay. It would have taken her at least ten minutes to walk, notwithstanding her buying so many snacks.
Han Qiqing chuckled as she exined, ¡°Heheh, I came here in a car. I met the security vehicle on the way, so I got them to drive me over.¡±
Chapter 1397 - He Was the One Who Coddled Me (4)
Chapter 1397: He Was the One Who Coddled Me (4)
Because Shangde High was a reallyrge campus, it would be not only hical, but inefficient if they only allowed the security guards to patrol the area by walking around.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat up and opened the bag to check out the snacks.
¡°Qiqing, I love you so much! You bought all my favorite things!¡±
She reached out and hugged Han Qiqing¡¯s waist, touched.
She felt blessed that she had a friend who remembered what she liked to eat.
Yin Shaojie nced into the bag of snacks and saw that there were even instant noodles inside. He looked at them.
Did they think the sick bay was a hotel?
Han Qiqing took out the instant noodles and went to find hot water.
Mu Xiaoxiao rummaged through the bag for a while. She ignored all the potato chips and chocte, picking out a single lollipop instead.
She unwrapped it and ced it in her mouth.
A sweet taste overcame her tongue.
She smiled happily, her dark eyes like crescents. However, her smiled faded gradually as she thought of something.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yin Shaojie noticed something wrong with her.
Mu Xiaoxiao spread her lips in a smile, but that smile was tinged with sadness.
¡°I just remembered something from my childhood¡ That time when you made me cry¡¡±
She paused, not continuing her sentence.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes turned serious. ¡°Finish your sentence. Why aren¡¯t you continuing?¡±
He had been quite good to her when he was young. Even though he liked to tease her and see her exaggerated reactions, he was still very amodating of her and pampered her a lot.
However, there was a period when he argued with her a lot more often, which meant that he made her cry more often too.
That was the year when Ah Ze appeared.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him and said, ¡°I¡¯ll say this first: You¡¯re not allowed to be angry.¡±
Yin Shaojie pursed his lips into a line. Even though he could already guess what she was trying to say and knew that whatever it was, it wasn¡¯t something that he would like to hear, he still suppressed his feelings and said, ¡°Tell me. I won¡¯t be angry.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao turned the lollipop around in her mouth before saying, ¡°Every time you made me cry¡ Ah Ze used a lollipop to coddle me¡¡±
Her eyes shone with nostalgia as she reminisced about the past.
¡°So, after that, Ah Ze would always bring candy around so that he could coddle me.¡±
Talking about it made her remember that he had also given her candy on their first meeting.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but smile.
She was really gullible as a kid, so much so that a single sweet could win her over.
It was because of that one sweet that she and Ah Ze became good friends.
After realizing that both of them shared the same birthday, the subtle feeling which materialized drew them even closer.
She didn¡¯t know if it was because they were born on the same day, in the same month and in the same year, but she shared some kind of understanding with him. They thought on the same lines, liked the same things, and when she wanted to look for him, he would coincidentally be at her house looking for her.
If he hadn¡¯t met with the ident that year¡
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s nose twinged and her eyes watered.
She thought that if Ah Ze hadn¡¯t died, they would have been best friends.
¡°Why is Heaven so cruel¡¡±
Her voice was choked as tears swirled in her eyes, finally sliding down her cheeks.
Ah Ze was a good person. He was handsome, smart, mature and considerate. Why was Heaven so unfair to him, to take him away at such a young age?
It was just too cruel!

Yin Shaojie sighed deeply. Reaching out, he took her into his embrace and let her lean on his chest.
Even though he wasn¡¯t angry, he still didn¡¯t feel good.
If it was anyone else, he would have been a hundred percent confident that he could beat the other party.
But it had to be Ah Ze¡
It was normal for Xiaoxiao to feel deeply sorrowful about his death and miss him.
However, he had always felt like Xiaoxiao liked Ah Ze more back when they were kids.
If Ah Ze hadn¡¯t died¡
The arm Yin Shaojie was holding Mu Xiaoxiao with tightened and he kissed her lightly on the forehead, feeling her warmth in his embrace.
His dark eyes were a little downcast.
He also wished that Ah Ze wasn¡¯t dead, but¡ he also had a selfish wish for Ah Ze not to be alive.
His heart sank into a dilemma.
¡
There was Physical Education ss in the afternoon.
After cking for two periods in the sick bay, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t stand the boredom anymore and returned to ss.
Luckily, her ankle was well enough that she could walk, but she couldn¡¯t do any vigorous exercise.
Thus, she sat on the sidelines and watched her ssmates run, asionally helping the teacher supervise the ss.
¡°Teacher! This student has only run two rounds. It¡¯s not enough!¡±
The male student who had gotten off the track in pretense of having finished his run looked back awkwardly at the teacher, his face frozen.
The teacher pointed at him. ¡°You! Trying to muddle through this? Come back and finish your rounds! If not, I¡¯ll make you run double as punishment!¡±
Helpless, the male student could only continue running.
Someone finished their rounds and sat near Mu Xiaoxiao, their legs jelly-like. He grumbled, ¡°You have it good. You don¡¯t have to run.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pointed at her leg and said, ¡°You can go and twist your ankle too.¡±
The person was speechless.
A canned drink was offered to Mu Xiaoxiao.
She looked and saw it was Feng Tianqi smiling down at her. ¡°For you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao took it and smiled at him. ¡°Thanks.¡±
Feng Tianqi was great at sports and was one of the first few toplete their run.
Mu Xiaoxiao was wondering where he had gone. Now she knew he had gone to the little store to buy drinks.
Feng Tianqi tilted his head and drank a mouthful of coke. ncing over at Jun Zeye, who was still running, he asked, ¡°Why is he still running? I thought he¡¯d be done first.¡±
When he was running, Jun Zeye was one of the ones in front too. Now, most of the students had alreadypleted the run, but Jun Zeye was still running.
¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged.
¡°Training during P.E. ss? He¡¯s weird.¡± Feng Tianqi taunted unhappily, especially after he saw how Jun Zeye wasn¡¯t panting or sweating despite running for so long.
Of course, what made him even unhappier were the girls who followed behind Jun Zeye secretly, maintaining a distance between him and themselves.
¡°Those girls should have finished by now, right? They¡¯re so pathetic,¡± Feng Tianqi sneered again.
¡°Why do you care!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him, amused.
Feng Tianqi looked at her. ¡°What about you? Don¡¯t you think he¡¯s very handsome? It¡¯s a pity that he didn¡¯t fight with Yin Shaojie earlier. I really wanted to see who¡¯s better.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed. ¡°Of course my Yin Shaojie is better!¡±
Feng Tianqi set himself against her on purpose and retorted, ¡°No, I think that Jun Zeye¡¯s better!¡±
Chapter 1399 - Don’t You Touch Her (2)
Chapter 1399: Don¡¯t You Touch Her (2)
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him. In a teasing tone, she said, ¡°Yo, weren¡¯t you jealous that he had so many girls surrounding him earlier? Why are you turning around to take his side now?¡±
¡°Since when was I jealous!¡± Feng Tianqi denied hurriedly.
¡°If that wasn¡¯t the tone of jealousy, what was it then?¡±
¡°Anyway, I¡¯m not jealous of him! Heck, what part of him is worth being jealous about anyway? I¡¯m so handsome that there are tons of girls surrounding me, okay? I only chase them away because I think they¡¯re annoying. I¡¯m not like him, indulging in their attention,¡± Feng Tianqi said indignantly.
Mu Xiaoxiaoughed and asked, ¡°Which part of him looks like he¡¯s indulging in their attention?¡±
If Jun Zeye was indulging in the girls¡¯ attention, he wouldn¡¯t have used a gun to scare them away earlier.
After finishing his coke, Feng Tianqi threw the bottle into a nearby bin.
He stood up noisily and walked over to where Jun Zeye was.
Mu Xiaoxiao was curious. ¡°Hey! What are you doing!¡±
He wasn¡¯t going over to quarrel with Jun Zeye, was he?
Mu Xiaoxiao got up hurriedly and followed him.
Even though she could walk, her ankle was a bit swollen, causing her to walk a little slower.
¡°Feng Tianqi, get back here!¡± she shouted from behind him.
Feng Tianqi turned back to look at her. ¡°Why are you following me? Go back and sit down!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°That¡¯s the question I should be asking you!¡±
He was acting so strange today, trying to start so many fights.
Feng Tianqi saw that she was walking a little slowly and stopped. When she finally reached him he exined, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not looking to fight with him. I only want to y with him a little. What are you so anxious for?¡±
y with Jun Zeye?
Mu Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes. This sentence sounded so awkward.
¡°What are you going to y with him?¡± she asked.
Feng Tianqi pointed his chin at the football court in the middle. ¡°I lost to him at basketball thest time, so I¡¯m going to have a football match with him. I won¡¯t believe that he¡¯s better than me at everything!¡±
He had always been a proud person, especially towards sports. He was so invincible that he had never lost to anyone in his life except for his brother.
However, Yin Shaojie just had to be better at him and now this Jun Zeye was better than him as well.
This excited the fighting spirit in him!
Ever since his match with Jun Zeye, Feng Tianqi didn¡¯t dislike him anymore and even admired him a little. Thus, he kept his promise to not antagonize Jun Zeye anymore.
Having a match with an opponent who was on par with him was also not a bad thing.
Feng Tianqi walked towards Jun Zeye as he exined.
Jun Zeye was still running, but his dark eyes caught Mu Xiaoxiao walking over and he stopped voluntarily.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± His voice was deep and resounding.
However, he was directing his question at Mu Xiaoxiao.
Feng Tianqi felt neglected and was a little unhappy.
He stuffed both his hands into his pockets and threw down the gauntlet arrogantly. ¡°Jun Zeye how about ying football against me? Do you have the guts to y against me again? I will win this time!¡±
However, Jun Zeye only said to him, ¡°Not interested.¡±
Feng Tianqi was speechless.
Could he act less cool?
Was he trying to see who was cooler?
Come on then, he wasn¡¯t afraid of Jun Zeye!
Feng Tianqi lifted his chin and pouted. ¡°You have to y against me even if you¡¯re not interested! If you don¡¯t¡¡±
Chapter 1400 - Don’t You Touch Her (3)
Chapter 1400: Don¡¯t You Touch Her (3)
He looked at Mu Xiaoxiao beside him. He grabbed her and threatened, ¡°If you don¡¯t, then I¡¯ll have no choice but to y with Xiaoxiao. Her ankle is still hurt and who knows if it¡¯ll swell more if she ys. That won¡¯t be good.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him and shook his hand off. ¡°You¡¯re some! You can y by yourself. Why are you forcing him to y when he doesn¡¯t want to? Is it that important that he beat you once?¡±
¡°Of course it¡¯s important! This affects my dignity as a man!¡± Feng Tianqi said forcefully.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Dignity as a man? You¡¯re at best only a boy!
Feng Tianqi saw that she didn¡¯t care about him and his handsome face dropped. Grabbing her arm, he said coyly, ¡°Xiaoxiao, we¡¯re good friends. Are you going to take his side and not help me?¡±
¡°Stop tugging at me.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to shake him off, but he was like sticky candy that couldn¡¯t be shaken off.
Their tug-of-war attracted the attention of the other students.
The crowd was whispering amongst themselves and gossiping about Mu Xiaoxiao again.
¡°Look at Mu Xiaoxiao! She¡¯s touching Feng Tianqi again. Why does she like to squeeze herself amongst the guys? She already has Young Master Jie! She¡¯s shameless!¡±
¡°I already told you she¡¯s a green tea b*tch. She looks like she¡¯s only friends with the guys, but she¡¯s actually secretly seducing them.¡±
¡°Her methods are simply crazy. I didn¡¯t imagine her to be this kind of person.¡±
The people were talking softly, so Mu Xiaoxiao and Feng Tianqi didn¡¯t hear it.
However, Jun Zeye seemed to hear them and his gaze darkened.
Suddenly, he said, ¡°Okay, let¡¯s y then.¡±
Feng Tianqi was stunned. He was puzzled why he changed his mind suddenly. It happenedst time as well. He¡¯d said that he wasn¡¯t interested but changed his mind suddenly.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Jun Zeye and said, ¡°Ignore him. You don¡¯t have to y if you don¡¯t want to. If you beat him again, he will disturb you until he beats you.¡±
Jun Zeye nodded mildly. ¡°Mm.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him uprehendingly. What did he mean by ¡®mm¡¯?
Feng Tianqi was afraid that he would change his mind again and hurriedly got someone to get a football.
He pointed at Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°Xiaoxiao will be the referee again!¡±
¡°Me? Why is it me again? I don¡¯t want to be!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless. It was tiring being a referee. Furthermore, it took a really long to score a goal despite the length of time spent kicking the ball.
Jun Zeye saw Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s expression and said, ¡°Anyone will do.¡±
Feng Tianqi pouted and mumbled to himself, ¡°You¡¯re concerned about Xiaoxiao, huh?¡±
Because football wasn¡¯t a single-person sport, they called upon other boys to join them.
However, something happened that no one expected.
Within minutes of the match starting, Feng Tianqinded a goal.
Feng Tianqi was overjoyed. He whooped excitedly and ran ap around the court before running up to Xiaoxiao.
¡°Did you see that? Ain¡¯t I handsome!¡±
His face was literally begging for attention.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry and hastened to say half-heartedly, ¡°Yeah, yeah, yeah, you¡¯re very very handsome.¡±
Feng Tianqi was satisfied that he got praised and ran back into the middle of the court.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. Her gaze fell onto Jun Zeye and she noticed that he had no expression at all, as though he didn¡¯t care about the goal that had just been scored.
A few minutester, Feng Tianqi scored another goal.
Chapter 1401 - Don’t You Touch Her (4)
Chapter 1401: Don¡¯t You Touch Her (4)

Feng Tianqi ran around the court and back to Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°Did you see that! I scored another goal! Ain¡¯t I cool!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him and replied without humor, ¡°Yeah, cool is cool. But can you stop running over to me?¡±
What was wrong with this guy!
What did him scoring a goal have to do with her?
Feng Tianqi ced his hands on his hips smugly. ¡°It seems like like this guy isn¡¯t good at everything. That¡¯s just too bad! I¡¯ve already scored two goals in less than ten minutes. If this goes on until the period ends, I could probably score ten goals, hm? Xiaoxiao, what do you think?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know. Don¡¯t ask me.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao waved him away, trying to get him to stop annoying her.
She walked past him and stared at Jun Zeye with a strange expression.
The girls spectating all looked down, and someone even cried out indignantly, ¡°Feng Tianqi! Are you not aware that Jun Zeye doesn¡¯t want to y at all? He let you win! What are you so proud for?¡±
¡°What do you mean, ¡®he let me¡¯? Say that again!¡± Feng Tianqi moved forward to look for the speaker.
The girl stood up and argued, ¡°That¡¯s the truth! Look at Jun Zeye. He¡¯s not even running!¡±
Feng Tianqi paused. Turning back to look at Jun Zeye, he found that he was still standing near his original spot, looking as though he had never left.
F*ck!
Feng Tianqi cursed silently and walked over unhappily. ¡°What are you doing? Who asked you to let me win?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She suddenly understood what Jun Zeye¡¯s ¡®mm¡¯ meant.
So he was listening to her and trying to lose to Feng Tianqi on purpose so that he would not bother her with any more matches in the future.
Feng Tianqi was furious and reached out to push Jun Zeye.
However, Jun Zeye blocked him dexterously.
Feng Tianqi became even more angry and balled his fist to throw a punch.
Mu Xiaoxiao saw that they were about to fight and rushed over. ¡°Don¡¯t fight! Feng Tianqi, what are you doing!¡±
¡°He went overboard!¡± Feng Tianqi pointed at Jun Zeye, his tone using.
¡°Yes, yes, he shouldn¡¯t have behaved so passively in a match,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said, her tone as if she were trying to coax a kid.
She could understand his anger. Feng Tianqi had been over the moon when he scored those goals. Now that he was told that Jun Zeye had let him do it on purpose, anyone would be angry.
¡°Xiaoxiao, move away!¡± Feng Tianqi gritted his teeth. His hands were still moving, and he wanted to go behind Xiaoxiao to get at Jun Zeye.
Mu Xiaoxiao was tired of blocking him. Feng Tianqi pushed her and because her foot was a little swollen, she wasn¡¯t standing stably and fell backwards.
Jun Zeye caught her in time.
Mu Xiaoxiao crashed against his body, and her elbownded against his chest.
Jun Zeye frowned slightly, but he soon smoothed it away without a trace.
He pulled Mu Xiaoxiao up, made sure that she could stand, and disengaged her from his chest.
¡°Don¡¯t touch her.¡± He looked at Feng Tianqi coldly.
Feng Tianqi also realized that he shouldn¡¯t have pushed Xiaoxiao. Worriedly, he asked, ¡°Are you okay?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m okay. Feng Tianqi, can you please not fight with him for my sake?¡±
Feng Tianqi pursed his lips. ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t.¡±
Jun Zeye said nothing and turned to leave abruptly.
¡°Jun Zeye?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him in puzzlement.
Jun Zeye was walking really briskly and walked out of the court in just a short while.
He looked down and gazed at his chest. His ck T-shirt was concealing a little patch of blood.
Luckily, it wasn¡¯t noticeable.

¡°Hey! Why are you leaving? Our match isn¡¯t done yet!¡± Feng Tianqi yelled at Jun Zeye.
He looked at Xiaoxiao beside him and tugged at her. ¡°What now?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shot a look at him. ¡°You¡¯re an idiot! This isn¡¯t the time to be worrying about who won or lost.¡±
¡°Then?¡± Feng Tianqi looked at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him. ¡°Don¡¯t you think he¡¯s acting a little weird?¡±
Feng Tianqi tutted. ¡°Since when is he not weird? This isn¡¯t the first time he¡¯s acted like this. Who knows what he¡¯s actually thinking? Hey, Mu Xiaoxiao,e back. You¡¯re not going after him, are you?¡±
He saw that Mu Xiaoxiao was about to chase Jjn Zeye down and pulled her back, preventing her from leaving.
He stared at her and lectured, ¡°Don¡¯t forget that you have a boyfriend. Why are you so concerned about him? Are you not afraid that Yin Shaojie will be jealous?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not that¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know how to exin it.
¡°You¡¯re not allowed to go then,¡± Feng Tianqi dered.
Mu Xiaoxiao realized that she didn¡¯t know where Jun Zeye had gone and felt defeated for a moment.
It felt like there was something choking her heart.
She had the feeling that there was something wrong with Jun Zeye.
Mu Xiaoxiao had a sudden idea. She let out a groan and her face twisted with difort.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± As expected, Feng Tianqi immediately asked her with concern.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him pitifully and pointed to her foot. ¡°It hurts. I just remembered, I think I left my medicine back in the sick bay. I think it¡¯s hurting because the medicine¡¯s effects have worn off.¡±
Feng Tianqi looked at her worriedly. ¡°Let me walk you to the sick bay.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said unwillingly, ¡°I don¡¯t want to go back there. It¡¯s so far. Just bring me the medicine. Oh and buy me a bottle of water to have the medicine with.¡±
Feng Tianqi looked at her suspiciously.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s acting was really good and she appeared to be in real pain. Her face was contorted as she rushed him, ¡°Why are you still standing there like a fool? Hurry up and go! It¡¯s getting more and more painful!¡±
¡°Okay, sit here and wait for me.¡± Feng Tianqipromised. He walked her to some steps nearby and sat her down.¡±
¡°Hurry up and go! Hurry, hurry!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao waved him off as soon as she sat down.
Feng Tianqi couldn¡¯t do anything else, so he started walking in the direction of the sick bay.
Mu Xiaoxiao craned her body forward to watch him go until he was no longer in sight.
¡°Hey, can you help me for a while? I need the restroom.¡± She waved two girls over.
The two girls didn¡¯t have any reason to reject her and thus held her as she walked out of the court.
After escaping from public view Mu Xiaoxiao went back to normal and waved them away. ¡°You can go now. You don¡¯t have to take care of me anymore.¡±
The two girls exchanged nces and walked away obediently.
Mu Xiaoxiao gazed at therge campus grounds and started to worry.
It was so huge. How was she supposed to find Jun Zeye?
She didn¡¯t know where he had gone.
Luckily, she had only been pretending to be in pain. Although walking felt a little weird, she could still endure it.
She pondered for a while. She remembered her first meeting with Jun Zeye in school. He had been hiding in a tree to rest. He probably wouldn¡¯t be in ss.
Chapter 1403 - Stay Away From Me (2)
Chapter 1403: Stay Away From Me (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
She felt that it was more likely he would find a well-hidden ce to rest, just like before.
Actually, Mu Xiaoxiao did understand Feng Tianqi¡¯s words.
She also knew that she shouldn¡¯t be so concerned about Jun Zeye.
But¡ she couldn¡¯t do it.
She constantly felt as though something was stopping her from letting go of Jun Zeye without finding answers.
And this answer, she thought, was something very important to her.
Her walk took her to the door of the equipment room.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at his ce. Suddenly, she felt nostalgic, remembering all the times she had yed truant from here.
She still remembered that Lu Yichen had been the one who had convinced her to skip ss for the first time.
She wondered how he was in America and when he would be back.
¡
The dim surroundings suddenly lit up, apanied by a ringing sound.
Jun Zeye assessed his wound. There was a little blood on the left side of his chest, but luckily the wound wasn¡¯t too big and the bleeding stopped easily.
His phone had rang just as he was about to put on his shirt.
He didn¡¯t need to see it to know who had called.
He answered the phone.
¡°Zeye, where are you? Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re at Shangde.¡±
It was Ning Ruyan¡¯s voice.
¡°Yeah,¡± Jun Zeye replied mildly, as though this wasn¡¯t something to be fussed over.
Ning Ruyan said exasperatedly, ¡°Bro, you¡¯re hurt! You don¡¯t have to go rushing back to school to attend ss. Also, KO¡ KO couldn¡¯t be found, but he should also have sustained serious injuries, so for now, he won¡¯t have the time to disturb Mu Xiaoxiao. So there¡¯s no need to guard her now is there?¡±
Previously, when they had gone to search where KO was hiding, they hadn¡¯t expected to really find him. However, KO was a really sly person and hadid a trap for them. If it hadn¡¯t been for Jun Zeye¡¯s strong instincts and swift reflexes, both of them might have been killed.
Luckily, Ning Ruyan had listened to him and not gotten out of the car, so he didn¡¯t sustain any injuries. However, Jun Zeye wasn¡¯t so lucky.
What surprised Ning Ruyan was that Jun Zeye still insisted on going to school even when he was injured.
Seriously, did he not care about his injuries at all?
Did he think he was Superman?
¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Jun Zeye said.
Ning Ruyan said without humor, ¡°Yeah! You¡¯re totally fine! Even if all your blood drains away, you¡¯ll still say you¡¯re fine!¡±
Jun Zeye was about to say something when he heard a soft noise. Someone¡¯s footsteps were getting closer.
He lowered his voice and said, ¡°There¡¯s something going on. I¡¯m hanging up.¡±
¡°Hey, what¡¯s going on?¡± Ning Ruyan wanted to ask, but the line had already been cut.
In the next second, someone pushed the door and entered.
Jun Zeye backtracked, hid himself in a dark corner, and slipped the phone into his pocket.
A petite figure walked in.
¡°That¡¯s strange, I did hear a voice just now¡¡±
Upon hearing the voice, Jun Zeye frowned.
How did she find this ce?
Mu Xiaoxiao scratched the back of her head and peeked inside. The equipment room did have windows, but since there were so many things stacked up against it, they were currently blocked.
¡°Is there anyone inside?¡± She called out.
Unsurprisingly, no one replied.
Even if there were someone hiding there, they wouldn¡¯t be so dumb as to answer her, right?
Mu Xiaoxiao was about to walk in before she stopped in her tracks, hesitation on her face.
What if the person hiding was a bad guy?
Wouldn¡¯t she fall into their trap if she walked in?
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart hammered.
Chapter 1404 - Stay Away From Me (3)
Chapter 1404: Stay Away From Me (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
However, she didn¡¯t know why but she had an inexplicable feeling that the person hiding inside was most likely Jun Zeye.
Once she found him, wouldn¡¯t that mean that she¡¯d uncover what was wrong with him?
Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated for about ten more seconds before reaching out and switching on the light to the equipment room.
Luckily, she had yed truant here a few times before and was thus very familiar with this ce.
She was on high alert as she walked over slowly.
¡°Hello?¡±
It felt as if she was greeting the empty air.
There was a moment where Mu Xiaoxiao thought that she might have really misheard the noise from outside. However, her instincts told her that she hadn¡¯t. How could she have misheard? She had obviously heard the ring of a cellphone!
Mu Xiaoxiao circled the ce but found no trace of anyone at all.
She even checked the passageway at the back but found no one.
Could the person have slipped out the back?
Mu Xiaoxiao had the feeling that something was not right. She felt a little nervous as well and thus decided to leave.
Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks.
Her gaze fell to the floor.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled by what she saw. She walked briskly out the door abruptly before jerking her head up to look at the ceiling.
A dark shadow jumped down suddenly and seemed to sigh exasperatedly.
¡°Jun Zeye?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao eximed after she got a good look at the person.
Before Jun Zeye could open his mouth to speak, she rushed over and looked at him with concern. ¡°Are you injured?¡±
She only realized that there was someone hiding on the ceiling when she noticed the blood on the floor.
She didn¡¯t expect it to be him.
That meant that he was injured.
¡°No,¡± Jun Zeye said mildly. He turned away and put on his shirt quickly.
He didn¡¯t know if she had seen the bandage on his chest. It should have been hidden by his shirt before he put it on.
Mu Xiaoxiao hadn¡¯t seen it. She only saw a blur as he put on his shirt.
His back¡
She seemed to have caught a blurry image of something.
¡°You¡¡± She felt a little confused and stupefied, and stared at him for a while, stunned. It was only then that she remembered what she wanted to ask him. ¡°You must be hurt. There was blood on the floor. Don¡¯t pretend it¡¯s not there.¡±
¡°It¡¯s not mine.¡± Jun Zeye insisted.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. ¡°Lift up your shirt and show me then.¡±
Jun Zeye stared at her. His cold and hard gaze was terror-inspiring, as though he were trying to force her to back off.
However, it didn¡¯t work on Mu Xiaoxiao. Instead, she said with certainty in her voice, ¡°You¡¯re hurt, right? If not, why won¡¯t you lift up your shirt and show me?¡±
Jun Zeye looked at her with his dark eyes. In a cool tone, he said, ¡°Does your boyfriend know that you¡¯re entangling yourself with another guy like this?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°W-What are you talking about! Entangling¡ Since when did I entangle myself with you! I¡¯m only concerned about you!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t need your concern.¡± Jun Zeye¡¯s rejection was cool.
¡°You¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know what to do with him. She said frustratedly, ¡°You¡¯re such a weird person. You saved me before, so you¡¯re my savior. Can¡¯t I show some concern for you? Furthermore, I¡¯m not dumb. I know you¡¯ve been looking out for me recently.
Her words pierced the metaphorical veil as sheid down all her cards.
¡°You¡¯re thinking too much.¡± Jun Zeye lifted his gaze and stared at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her chin and said huffily, ¡°I¡¯m not thinking too much! You¡¯re scared that KO will kidnap me, right? Didn¡¯t you get injured because of KO? Did he get someone to jump on you or did you go looking for him?¡±
Chapter 1405 - Stay Away From Me (4)
Chapter 1405: Stay Away From Me (4)
He didn¡¯t speak.
The air became very still suddenly and it was so quiet that everything seemed to have stopped.
Mu Xiaoxiao could hear her heavy breathing clearly.
She was waiting for his answer.
After a long while, Jun Zeye finally opened his mouth to speak. ¡°Let me say it again. You¡¯re thinking too much.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao bit her lip in anger before calming herself down. She said to him, ¡°Okay, let¡¯s not talk about this then. I have something else to ask you.¡±
Luckily, they were alone.
She had a big question she had suppressed for a long time and she didn¡¯t want to push it down any longer.
She looked at him, worked up her courage, and decided to ask.
¡°Are you¡¡±
However, at this moment, a phone rang and interrupted her words.
And it was her phone that was ringing, too.
Mu Xiaoxiao was angry. She really wanted to smash the phone.
But she thought for a moment that it might be Yin Shaojie calling. She said to Jun Zeye, ¡°Wait.¡±
She took out her phone.
It was indeed Yin Shaojie.
¡°Hello.¡± She answered quickly, trying to settle Yin Shaojie as soon as possible. If she didn¡¯t pick up his call, he would definitely think that something was wrong with her andunch a school-wide search for her.
¡°Where are you?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s first question showed that he knew that she wasn¡¯t in ss.
¡°I¡¯m in school. Alright, are you done checking up on me? I¡¯m hanging up.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao sped through her words.
¡°Wait! I haven¡¯t finished.¡±
¡°Hurry up then.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao rushed him, but saw a shadow move in front of her eyes.
She stood there with her phone in her hands, stunned, before she realized that Jun Zeye was leaving.
She hurried to catch up with him, and called out his name in her panic.
¡°Jun Zeye!¡±
On the other side of the phone, Yin Shaojie clearly heard her call his name. In a low voice, he asked, ¡°Are you alone with him?¡±
The words ¡°alone¡± seemed to have been squeezed out of gritted teeth.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t catch the nuance and said, ¡°I¡¯m busy now. I¡¯ll tell you about itter.¡±
She hung up.
Then, she dashed after Jun Zeye hurriedly.
¡°Jun Zeye! Stay where you are! I haven¡¯t finished!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao chased him outside.
She didn¡¯t want to push it away anymore. She had to get to the bottom of that matter today.
The matter about Ah Ze¡
Jun Zeye stopped in his tracks and turned his head slightly. In a low voice, he said, ¡°There is nothing to talk about.¡±
¡°I have something to ask you!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao chose to ignore his words and moved closer.
Jun Zeye took in a deep breath. His tone was icy as he said frankly, ¡°Let me tell you onest time: You¡¯re wrong. Also¡ stay away from me in the future.
Stay away from me.
Mu Xiaoxiao hadn¡¯t expected him to say this and couldn¡¯t help but feel a little sad.
Jun Zeye had been protecting her constantly. Why wouldn¡¯t he admit it?
¡°Even if you deny it, I can tell what the truth is. I¡¯m not dumb.¡±
But that wasn¡¯t the important thing now.
¡°I just want to ask you one thing¡¡±
A thing that she absolutely must know the answer to.
¡°Noment,¡± Jun Zeye left her with these words before walking away. His back looked so cold, as though he didn¡¯t care what she wanted to ask.
Mu Xiaoxiao bit her lip and her eyes filled up with tears. Staring at his back, she shouted suddenly, ¡°AH ZE¡ª¡±
Jun Zeye stopped in his tracks suddenly.
Chapter 1406 - Why Do You Suspect That? (1)
Chapter 1406: Why Do You Suspect That? (1)
¡°What did you want to say?¡± This time, Jun Zeye turned around reflexively to face her.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him and tested the waters with a question. ¡°I wanted to ask you if you knew Ah Ze. What was your rtionship with him?¡±
However, Jun Zeye could see what she was getting at. The corner of his lips turned up mockingly. ¡°Are you suspecting that I¡¯m Ah Ze? Then I can tell you with certainty that I¡¯m not him. And as for how I¡¯m rted to him, that¡¯s something you don¡¯t need to know.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. Instinctively, she stepped forward. ¡°You¡¡±
His eyes seemed to be able to see through her.
Jun Zeye took a step back, distancing himself from her. A distance between strangers.
¡°You¡¯re right that KO is looking for you. But I was following you in secret before for a different reason than you think. I wasn¡¯t trying to protect you, but use you to lure KO out. I have to catch him. That is why I came to City A.¡± His tone was calm and his words direct, as though he wasn¡¯t afraid that he would hurt her.
Mu Xiaoxiao stood at her spot and watched him walk away.
Her mind was a mess.
Were things really like he said?
That he wasn¡¯t trying to protect her, but only got close to her so that she could lure KO out?
Suddenly Mu Xiaoxiao thought that she had been so ridiculous.
That¡¯s right. It was so groundless. Why had she thought that he was protecting her?
¡
Mu Xiaoxiao was in a daze as she walked along a pathway in school.
It was near the end of ss, so the crowd was beginning to build along the pathway. When everyone walked past her they instinctively gave her a berth, standing on either side of her and gossiping as they snuck furtive nces at her.
¡°What¡¯s wrong with Mu Xiaoxiao? She looks so down. Could she have fought with Young Master Jie?¡±
¡°I heard that she¡¯s attaching herself to the handsome guys in ss. Young Master Jie must have discovered this and they must have broken up.¡±
¡°It serves her right. I told you before: how can a flirt such as Young Master Jie really change his ways for her? Even if Mu Xiaoxiao is pretty and has all sorts of tricks up her sleeve, she can¡¯t beat a man¡¯s wandering eye.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao could hear bits and pieces of their discussion and couldn¡¯t help but think how she had hung up on Yin Shaojie when he had called her earlier.
Yin Shaojie was really worried now, right? Or really angry.
Instinctively, she walked towards the Student Union building.
But she stopped in her tracks suddenly.
Right in front of her stood Yin Shaojie. He was looking at her and walking over slowly.
When Mu Xiaoxiao saw him split the crowd and walk over to her, her eyes gradually moistened.
When Yin Shaojie was right in front of her, he turned his dark eyes on her and said, ¡°You were with Jun Zeye earlier, right? Where did you go?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t say anything. She really wanted to hug him, but there were too many people around.
She was a little upset and reach out to tug at him.
¡°I¡¯ll tell youter.¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t press the question. Reaching out with his long arm, he pulled her into his embrace, ignoring the crowd¡¯s gaze.
The people around them were stunned. Those who had said that they must be fighting were pped in the face.
No matter how they looked at it, Young Master Jie cared very much for Mu Xiaoxiao!
There was absolutely no sign that they were going to break up.
As Mu Xiaoxiao breathed in his scent, her erratic mood calmed down momentarily.
She felt peaceful so long as she was by his side.
¡°He made you upset?¡± Yin Shaojie lowered his head so that his face was right in front of hers and he asked her in a voice that was only audible to them.
Chapter 1407 - Why Do You Suspect That? (2)

It¡¯s not really that¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said moodily and sighed.
Yin Shaojie looked at her and said tyrannically, ¡°I¡¯ll give you a chance now. Are you going to tell me everything or wait for me to question you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to keep it from him either, but the crowd was all ears, trying to eavesdrop on their conversation, which made her feel ufortable.
She tugged at him. ¡°Let¡¯s walk faster. I¡¯ll tell you when we get back.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Yin Shaojie nodded. Holding her hand, he started to run.
¡°Wait! Don¡¯t run!¡± She wasn¡¯t feeling great now and didn¡¯t want to run.
Yin Shaojie slowed down. Looking at her, he asked, ¡°Does it still hurt?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook his head. ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt anymore.¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at the bell tower not far away. There was a careless smile on his handsome face as he said to her, ¡°If we can run back to the Student Union building in five minutes, I¡¯ll fulfill a wish of yours.¡±
¡°Fulfill a wish of mine? Any wish at all?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she asked, already quickening her steps.
The two of them held hands as they ran slowly.
Yin Shaojie said confidently, ¡°Yes, any wish!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao expressed her doubt. ¡°You¡¯re kidding! If I want a star from the sky, can you pluck one out for me? No, right?¡±
¡°I can! Who said that I can¡¯t?¡± Yin Shaojie smiled as he spoke, as though it was no feat at all.
¡°Sure, pluck one then. Do it right now.¡±
Yin Shaojieughed. ¡°You¡¯re so silly. Can¡¯t you see it¡¯s daytime now? Where are the stars? Also, even if you wanted me to pluck one for you, you have to give me time to prepare, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao gave him a look that said ¡°yea, continuing kidding, won¡¯t you?¡± She said, ¡°You¡¯re trying to make me slow down on purpose, right? No, I¡¯ll run faster!¡±
Five minutes was a short time and it passed by in the blink of an eye.
¡°Slow down! Your foot!¡± This time, Yin Shaojie was the one who was worried, afraid that she would twist her ankle again.
However, when she started to run, the wind blowing on her face improved Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s mood tremendously, and she smiled.
The two of them ran together and finally reached the Student Union building.
Mu Xiaoxiao stopped at the door and panted.
Yin Shaojie looked at her and teased, ¡°You¡¯re useless. You¡¯re panting only after a few minutes of running?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him.
He walked towards her. Suddenly, reaching out with his long arm, he scooped her up from the waist.
¡°What are you doing!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked and grabbed onto the fabric in front of his chest hurriedly so that she wouldn¡¯t fall.
¡°I¡¯m carrying you up. Don¡¯t you have no energy to go up now? Or do you want us to continue standing here?¡±
Yin Shaojie exined as he carried her up the stairs effortlessly.
On the way, they encountered some Student Union members, who looked at them in surprise.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt super embarrassed and buried her face in his chest, pretending to be dead.
¡°You can¡¯t see me, can¡¯t see me, can¡¯t see me¡¡±
Yin Shaojie heard her cute mumbling and the corners of his lips couldn¡¯t help but lift into a smile.
The way to his office was not that far but Mu Xiaoxiao felt as though it was longer than usual.
She lifted her head in puzzlement and met Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes.
¡°Are we there yet?¡± Why did he stop?
¡°Not yet. Soon,¡± Yin Shaojie said, his long legs taking huge strides across the hallway.
Mu Xiaoxiao nced at her surroundings before she realized what was weird.
It seemed like he had walked to the end of the hallway before turning back.
She said, ¡°You¡¯re some.¡±
Chapter 1408 - Why Do You Suspect That? (3)

Yin Shaojie smiled but didn¡¯t say a thing.
He only wanted to carry her for a while more.
They entered the office and Yin Shaojie closed the door closed behind them.
Mu Xiaoxiao jumped down from his embrace and stretched.
In the next second, she was embraced by therge figure behind her and her petite frame was nestled into his chest.
¡°Did you know how worried I was?¡± Yin Shaojie sighed as he kissed her neck with his sexy lips.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused. Suddenly, she said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±
¡°Why are you apologizing?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyes narrowed. He loosened his grip and turned her over to face himself.
His dark eyes stared into her little face, catching every minute expression she made.
Mu Xiaoxiao said guiltily, ¡°Are you angry that I hung up on you earlier? I¡¯m sorry. I was asking Jun Zeye something.¡±
Her emotions started to unravel as she thought of his answer again.
¡°Yeah, I am a little angry.¡± Yin Shaojie dropped his gracious pretense and said frankly, ¡°Once I knew that you were alone with him I was furious. I really wanted to snatch you away and smack you!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze locked onto hers. ¡°Let me guess. Did you ask him if he was Ah Ze? You suspect that he¡¯s Ah Ze, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s lips moved as she stared at him with a shocked gaze. She said dazedly, ¡°No¡ Actually, I didn¡¯t suspect that he was Ah Ze, Ah Ze has already¡ passed away. I suspected that he is rted to Ah Ze. He could be Ah Ze¡¯s brother, rtive, or something. Ah Ze might have mentioned me to him¡¡±
But what was weird was why both he and Jun Zeye thought that she suspected that Jun Zeye was Ah Ze.
Yin Shaojie furrowed his brow and absent-mindedly touched his nose. ¡°Did you ask him? What did he tell you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him curiously. ¡°He said that he wasn¡¯t Ah Ze and that I didn¡¯t need to know what his rtionship with Ah Ze is.¡±
At least she knew from this answer that Jun Zeye was rted to Ah Ze.
But she was clueless as to why he had refused to tell her.
Actually, she didn¡¯t need to know if Jun Zeye was rted to Ah Ze. He could be a rtive or a family member and so what if she knew? Ah Ze wasn¡¯t going to be revived.
Now that she knew that Jun Zeye was rted to Ah Ze, the riddle in her head was answered.
Even though Jun Zeye had denied it, she still believed that he had been protecting her and not using her like he had said.
Yin Shaojie rubbed her cheek with his finger. ¡°What do you think of it? Are you going to question him further?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head.
Yin Shaojie could tell from his expression that she was tired. He led her over to the sofa and gave her a cushion.
Mu Xiaoxiao hugged the cushion instinctively.
There was something in her gaze, as though there was something she was still unsure about.
Her thoughts arranged, she jerked her head up. Looking at Yin Shaojie, she asked, ¡°Jie, did you suspect that he was Ah Ze? And why?¡±
Yin Shaojie paused. He had thought that this topic had been dismissed and didn¡¯t expect her to ask about it again.

¡°I¡¯m only hazarding a guess. It¡¯s your fault for minding him that much,¡± he said, his expression sour with jealousy.
Mu Xiaoxiao was exasperated. She exined indignantly, ¡°Since when did I mind him! I¡¯m just¡ I don¡¯t know how to say it either! Anyway, it¡¯s not whatever you think it is.¡±
Even though she couldn¡¯t grasp what she was feeling either, she was sure that it wasn¡¯t what he was thinking about.
She didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. Picking up the cushion, she threw it at him gently. ¡°Stop being jealous for nothing all the time! I only realized now that you guys really like to imagine absurd things and make crazy guesses.¡±
Feng Tianqi was the same. He had kept on asking her if she liked Jun Zeye.
Yin Shaojie smiled as he grabbed the pillow and used the momentum to pull her over. He stared into her eyes.
He cocked a brow and asked, ¡°Other than this, do you have anything else you want toe clean about with me?
Mu Xiaoxiao nced to her side and pondered before shaking her head. ¡°There¡¯s nothing else.¡±
¡°Really nothing else?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s handsome face loomed closer, his aura oppressing.
In an instant, his aura enveloped her.
Mu Xiaoxiao cocked her little head and thought, wondering if she had missed out anything. Suddenly, she remembered and said, ¡°Oh! Jun Zeye seems to be hurt¡ When I found him, he was hiding in the P.E. equipment room. I saw blood on the floor and that¡¯s how I found him. But he didn¡¯t admit that he was hurt.¡±
Yin Shaojie suddenly reached out to pinch her face. ¡°Are you worried about him?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little awkward. She didn¡¯t dare to lie to him, and thus answered truthfully, ¡°A¡ A little. He saved me before, so I can¡¯t not worry about him at least a little when he¡¯s hurt, right?¡±
She wasn¡¯t a cold blooded person.
And it seemed as though she had subconsciously thought of Jun Zeye as a friend somewhere along the way.
And she also now knew that Jun Zeye had a rtionship to Ah Ze, be it as a rtive or family member, or just friends.
With such a rtionship established, Mu Xiaoxiao had automatically viewed Jun Zeye as a friend.
Mu Xiaoxiao observed Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression. She tugged at his hand appeasingly and smiled at him. ¡°Don¡¯t think too much. I know who my boyfriend is! No matter whether it¡¯s Feng Tianqi or Jun Zeye, I only view them as normal friends. You¡¯re no doubt the most important person in my heart. Sorry, I shouldn¡¯t have hung up on you, but time was of the essence¡¡±
She even rose to hug his neck as she spoke.
Her tone was coy as she said, ¡°If you¡¯re really angry, you shouldn¡¯t pretend not to be. I didn¡¯t say you can¡¯t get angry because I was in the wrong.¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at her silently.
Mu Xiaoxiao said earnestly, ¡°You can be mad at me.¡±
Yin Shaojie gazed at her with his dark eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°Okay, you can smack me if you want to.¡±
It was only then that Yin Shaojie¡¯s expression changed as the corners of this lips lifted.
¡°I really want to but I can¡¯t bear to.¡± He pretended to sigh and acted as if he could do nothing about her.
It was only since he fell in love with her that he understood what hesitation and uneasiness felt like.
They were emotions that he had never felt before in his entire life.
She was smiling as she told him that he was the most important to her.
However, he didn¡¯t know why but his uneasiness still stayed and even weighed him down further.
She had said earlier that guys liked to imagine absurd things.
He had wanted to answer that he didn¡¯t. He hadn¡¯t been imagining absurd things.

Not wanting to let her see even the slightest bit of emotion, Yin Shaojie hugged her. He rested his chin on her shoulder so that she couldn¡¯t see his expression.
He was still unustomed to hiding his emotions when he was with her.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t notice a thing and she hugged his neck tightly.
Her phone beeped a few times.
It was only then that Mu Xiaoxiao released Yin Shaojie and picked up her phone to look at the WeChat messages.
It was Han Qiqing who had sent them. In a teasing tone, she sent, ¡®You¡¯re both abusing single dogs in broad daylight. Look at these photos. They¡¯re way too sweet. If I had been there, I would have called the police.¡¯
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the pictures she had sent. It was of her and Yin Shaojie on campus earlier.
The photos looked really aesthetic. Coincidentally, there were white petals falling off a tree nearby, which added to the romantic mood.
¡°Jie, look!¡± She grinned as she handed her phone to show Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie saw it and took her phone. Saving them, he then sent them over to himself.
Then, he went to get his phone.
¡°Sit here. I need to go do something,¡± he said as he walked over the the office desk.
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him uprehendingly. She watched as he sat in front of theputer, turned it on, and started typing noisily.
She cupped her chin and stared at him, thinking that he must not have finished some Student Union things.
Unexpectedly, Han Qiqing sent another message over in a few minutes, shrieking about something.
¡°Eh, the post circting the photos has been deleted. Hurry up and tell me: Is Yin Shaojie behind this?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She lifted her head and asked Yin Shaojie, ¡°Qiqing said that the post circting the photos has been deleted. She wants to know if you¡¯re behind it.¡±
Yin Shaojie turn off hisputer and nodded as he walked over, confessing everything. ¡°Tell her it is.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. ¡°You got the BBS admins to delete the post?¡±
Yin Shaojie smiled but stayed silent.
Who needed the admins when he could do it himself?
Furthermore, the photos weren¡¯t just posted to the school forum, but also onto the Inte. It would be way too troublesome he were to seek out every admin to delete them.
It was faster to do it himself.
Just then, Han Qiqing messaged again. ¡®Goodness, the photos on Weibo have also been deleted. Your Yin Shaojie¡¯s movements are really too fast. I give him a hundred for his speed!¡¯
Behind the string of words was a thumbs-up emoji.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused. She looked at Yin Shaojie. ¡°Did you also¡ delete these photos off the Inte?¡±
How did he do it?
Yin Shaojie sat beside her, his long arm dangling off the back of her chair. He dered tyrannically, ¡°Of course I had to. How could I let them stay up there?¡±
The photos were so romantic that guys who saw them might look at her differently.
He couldn¡¯t let that happen.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°Even if you delete the photos from the Inte, the person who took the photos still has them on their phone, so it¡¯s no use. They might post it on the Inte again someday or send them to their friends.¡±
¡°I have a n for that.¡± Yin Shaojie smiled as though everything was under his control.
Chapter 1411 - It Was Great to be Pampered (2)
Chapter 1411: It Was Great to be Pampered (2)
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was awash with curiosity as she looked at him. ¡°Really? How did you do it?¡±
Yin Shaojie wagged his brows. ¡°Do you want to know?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her head.
¡°Then I won¡¯t tell you!¡± Yin Shaojie tapped her nose with his finger and teased.
¡°Hey!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao reached out to smack him, and was poised to jump on him.
The heck!
How could he do this? He¡¯d piqued her curiosity, but refused to reveal it.
Yin Shaojie held her waist with his hands and the two of them wrestled on the sofa.
¡°I¡¯ll ignore you from now on!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t argue over him and huffed.
¡°You¡¯re going to ignore me? Really?¡± Yin Shaojie grinned carelessly as he ced his arm around her shoulder. He moved his handsome face closer and made sure she could feel his warm breath on her skin.
Mu Xiaoxiao was tickled by him and stood up for herself vehemently. ¡°Yes!¡±
At least for today!
Yin Shaojie pretended to be really sorry for her. He lifted his arm off her shoulder, stood up, and said unhurriedly, ¡°That¡¯s too bad then. The bag that you wanted arrived this morning because of an idental dy¡ but since you¡¯re going to ignore me, I can¡¯t pass it to you anymore. I think I should gift it to some other girl.¡±
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao rose noisily and red at him with wide eyes. In an angry voice, she shouted, ¡°I dare you to do it!¡±
She lunged over and even grabbed his neck with her little hand, trying to threaten him.
If he dared to give her bag away to some other girl, she would kill him!
¡°Then, do you want the bag?¡± Yin Shaojie smiled as he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao obviously understood what he meant. He meant that if she wanted the bag, she had to take back her words.
She hesitated and thought about the beautiful Gi bag¡
Yin Shaojie¡¯s face looked like he had just received a revtion as he said deliberately, ¡°Oh right, since you don¡¯t want the bag, then Qiqing won¡¯t get hers too. How about I use these bags as encouragement gifts for the Student Union?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and hugged his arms admitting defeat.
¡°Okay, I won¡¯t ignore you, I won¡¯t ignore you. You have to give me the bag and you¡¯re not allowed to give it to anyone else!¡±
She was fine not having the bag, but she couldn¡¯t let Qiqing be deprived of it. Qiqing really liked the bag and had been waiting for it.
Yin Shaojie pretended to be displeased. He narrowed his eyes and said, ¡°That¡¯s all? Why does it feelcking in sincerity? Why do I feel like you¡¯re only saying this to appease me? Will you turn your head and ignore me once I hand you the bag?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
He had actually seen through her!
Mu Xiaoxiao coughed awkwardly. ¡°Okay, I won¡¯t ignore you, I swear! Is that okay?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked like he was really thinking about this. ¡°How about you promise that you¡¯ll be good today and I¡¯ll pass you the bag?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him with suspicion. ¡°Does being good involve me doing something overboard?¡±
¡°It¡¯ll be within reason. I won¡¯t let you do anything you can¡¯t do,¡± Yin Shaojie smiled gently, looking very innocent.
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t really believe him, she knew that he was very sly and knew that this sounded too good to be true.
However, she thought about it and concluded that even if he wanted her to do something overboard, she could always reject him if she felt that she couldn¡¯t do it, right?
Chapter 1412 - It Was Great to be Pampered (3)
Chapter 1412: It Was Great to be Pampered (3)
¡°Okay!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao agreed.
Yin Shaojie smiled and motioned to her with a finger. ¡°Come over. The bag is here.¡±
He walked over to the side and took out a box that wasbeled by the international express postal service.
Mu Xiaoxiao sent Han Qiqing a quick text before opening the parcel happily.
The parcel was wrapped discreetly and even had bubble wrap around it to protect its contents.
Opening the parcel revealed two exquisite boxesbeled with ¡°Gi.¡± It seemed to be gilded and looked magnificent and ssy.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the two boxes and noticed that they seemed different.
She one up one at random and looked at the bag inside. Previously, she only liked the bag, but once she saw the pink version, she liked it even more!
¡°It looks so pretty!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes lit up as she looked at the bag excitedly.
Girls could never resist pretty bags.
Yin Shaojie nced at it and said, ¡°That one isn¡¯t yours.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. ¡°Aren¡¯t both bags the same?¡±
¡°Of course not.¡± Yin Shaojie kept her in suspense as he opened the other box and took out the bag.
This bag was also pink in color, but the color of the strap was different. The previous bag¡¯s strap had been beige, but this one was pink.
¡°Eh? Why are they different?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked surprised.
Yin Shaojie held out the bag to her. ¡°This is yours. It¡¯s an exclusive custom edition, so you¡¯re the only one in the world who has it.¡±
¡°Exclusive¡ custom edition?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him happily.
The bag already looked very good in pink. Now that the strap was also pink, she liked it even more!
Yin Shaojie smiled and pointed at the bag in her hand. ¡°There¡¯s an Easter egg inside too. Take your time to look for it.¡±
He wasn¡¯t going to tell her. It was more interesting if she discovered it for herself.
The bags hade a dayte because he had requested this surprise.
¡°Easter egg?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao found this fun. A bag with an Easter egg? That was exciting!
She turned over the bag hurriedly, trying to find the Easter egg.
However, she realized that the outer appearance of both bags was the same. Where was the difference?
Could it be inside the bag?
Just then, someone opened the door with a thud and rushed in.
¡°Where¡¯s the bag! Where¡¯s the bag! Where¡¯s my bag!¡±
Han Qiqing had arrived.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her amusedly. ¡°Qiqing, don¡¯t you think you got here too fast?¡±
Only a few minutes had passed since she sent the text, right?
Han Qiqing only had the bag in her eyes. She seemed to fly over as she hugged the bag in Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand. ¡°Bag!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao took it away quickly. ¡°This is mine. Yours is over there.¡±
¡°What¡¯s the difference? They¡¯re the same.¡± Han Qiqing released the bag and went to take the other one.
Soon, she realized it. ¡°Eh? It looks¡ different?¡±
¡°They are different,¡± said Mu Xiaoxiao.
She motioned to Yin Shaojie with her eyes, trying to get him to exin.
Yin Shaojie hung his arm around Mu Xiaoxiao immediately and said to Han Qiqing, ¡°It¡¯s only natural that my wife owns things that are unique in the world. How can I let her use something that others have?¡±

¡°So the one Xiaoxiao has is an exclusive custom edition?¡± Han Qiqing understood immediately.
She didn¡¯t mind, as having a VIP edition of the bag was already very awesome.
However, she was still a little envious¡
Aish, it was great to have a pampering boyfriend!
¡
There was a Student Union-nned activity after school today, so most people didn¡¯t go home immediately, but instead gathered in the field.
Han Qiqing linked arms with Mu Xiaoxiao as they walked around the school grounds carrying their bags.
As they walked, they became the center of attention.
They especially caught the girls¡¯ attention. Their gazes were fixated on their bags.
¡°My goodness, isn¡¯t that Gi¡¯s¡¡±
¡°Eh? Didn¡¯t they say that there were only two colors for this bag, ck and white? Why are Miss Qiqing and Miss Qiqing carrying pink ones? Could they be fake?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t kid around. How can an heiress from one of the Big Four Families carry a fake bag?¡±
¡°Stop embarrassing yourself with your ignorance. The pink color is the VIP edition, don¡¯t you know?¡±
Upon hearing those words and feeling the envious gaze of the girls, Han Qiqing smiled and gave Mu Xiaoxiao a deliberate wink.
Soon, someone noticed that Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s bag was different.
¡°Eh? Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s bag¡ the strap is pink! It¡¯s different from the VIP edition!¡±
¡°Could she be carrying a fake one?¡±
¡°It can¡¯t be, right? If it¡¯s a fake, how can she walk with Miss Qiqing like that? It¡¯d be so embarrassing!¡±
¡°Who knows, maybe she has thick skin!¡±
Han Qiqing was displeased when she heard this and wanted to exin to them immediately: Xiaoxiao¡¯s bag was an exclusive custom edition, okay? It was unique!
However, Mu Xiaoxiao stopped her. ¡°Let them say what they want.¡±
Han Qiqing looked at her exasperatedly. ¡°You¡¯re always so dismissive of what others say about you. If you approached them and told them your identity, you¡¯d definitely scare them off.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help butugh. ¡°Why would I scare them? That¡¯s over-the-top! Also, what good will it do me if they know my identity?¡±
¡°It will do you good! No one will dare to speak badly of you behind your back anymore.¡± Han Qiqing didn¡¯t understand why the Mus liked to be discreet. What good did being discreet bring?
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. She didn¡¯t agree. ¡°Do you think they¡¯ll stop speaking bad about me behind my back just because they know who I am? That¡¯s impossible.¡±
Han Qiqing didn¡¯t know how to rebut this.
The pair continued walking and arrived at the activity venue.
The Student Union members were maintaining order. Upon seeing them arrive, they smiled and greeted the girls.
When the girls from the Student Union saw their bags, they said enviously, ¡°It¡¯s pretty! I really like this bag too, but I couldn¡¯t get my hands on it. Yours are the VIP editions, right? I heard that there are only ten of them in the entire world!¡±
Thus, they couldn¡¯t be simply bought by money.
¡°It¡¯s only a VIP edition. It¡¯s not rare at all. I have one too.¡± Suddenly, a proud voice rang out.
The crowd¡¯s gaze turned to the source of the voice immediately.
They saw a tall girl walk over and stop in front of Han Qiqing. She nced at her bag disapprovingly.
Han Qiqing recognized her and sneered. She retorted, ¡°Yeah, having a VIP edition isn¡¯t that rare, but¡ do you have Gi¡¯s exclusive custom edition?

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Upon hearing this, the girl was startled before mocking her, saying, ¡°Exclusive custom edition? You mean you have it? Show it to me then. Even if you¡¯re a VIP, you can¡¯t get an exclusive custom edition bag. Who are you fooling?¡±
In the past, people thought that the rumors of Gi having exclusive custom editions were fake. It was only after a princess from a particr country was photographed with one that Gi fans confirmed that it had exclusive custom editions. However, exclusive custom editions were not something just anyone could get their hands on and currently there were only two Gi bags in the entire world that were exclusive custom editions.
Han Qiqing sighed affectedly and spread her hands. ¡°I don¡¯t have it, but it¡¯s a coincidence that my friend has one. Seeing as you are so ignorant, how about letting me show you one?¡±
Beside her, Mu Xiaoxiao was listening and understood what she meant. She tugged at her discreetly.
Han Qiqing looked back at her and gave her an OK sign.
Because Han Qiqing was blocking her, the girl hadn¡¯t noticed the bag on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s shoulder.
The girl crossed her arms and shouted, ¡°Sure! I really want to see what China¡¯s first ever Gi exclusive custom edition bag looks like!¡±
The people beside them also heard their exchange. They looked at each other and started to gossip amongst themselves.
The first ever Gi exclusive custom edition bag in China!
Goodness gracious!
Was this for real?
Students of an elite school, especially the girls, were all familiar with famous brands. Gi, Chanel, LV, and various famous luxury brands were all well-known to them.
Han Qiqing hated to be shouted at. Lifting her chin like a queen, she smirked as she said, ¡°Open your eyes and look closely then!¡±
She wanted to pull Mu Xiaoxiao up, but Mu Xiaoxiao offered strong resistance and refused toe out.
¡°Qiqing, stop ying around!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said in a low voice.
She didn¡¯t want to be the center of attention.
So what if other people knew that she had an exclusive custom edition bag? She didn¡¯t like the feeling of being envied.
She had been taught to be discreet ever since they were young. She was supposed to not behave in a high-profile manner on purpose.
Han Qiqing gave Mu Xiaoxiao a pleading look. ¡°Xiaoxiao, please just help me out this once so that she can¡¯t brag! You don¡¯t know this, but she¡¯s really¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. ¡°You know her?¡±
Han Qiqing nodded. Her expression was a little ufortable. ¡°I know her, but we¡¯re not familiar. She has a super arrogant personality and always like to brag, which makes people dislike her. I¡¯ve long since wanted to take her down a peg. Xiaoxiao, please just help me, okay?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was persuaded by her. She could understand why Qiqing wanted to do this, for this girl¡¯s attitude displeased her indeed.
Just then, the girl noticed Mu Xiaoxiao standing behind Qiqing. Taking a step forward, she sneered at Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°Could the bag you were referring to be hers? Exclusive custom edition? It must be fake!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. This girl was really extremely arrogant.
She whispered to Qiqing, ¡°Who exactly is she?¡±
She was a little puzzled. If the girl knew Qiqing, she should know who Xiaoxiao was.
Han Qiqing harrumphed. ¡°Her? She¡¯s some daughter from a nouveau rich family who thinks she¡¯s superior just because she¡¯s studying in the capital.¡±
Chapter 1415 - The Easter Egg’s Secret (2)
Chapter 1415: The Easter Egg¡¯s Secret (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
She continued, ¡°I saw her a few times when I attended banquets, but it seems like she doesn¡¯t know who you are.¡±
If the girl knew who she actually was, taking her down a peg wouldn¡¯t be fun anymore.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded in understanding.
Just then, someone recognized the girl and eximed, ¡°Isn¡¯t she Sun Huiwen? She¡¯s an online celebrity on Weibo! I think she¡¯s a model.¡±
¡°Oh yeah, oh yeah, I recognize her too. It really is her.¡±
¡°That¡¯s strange. Why is she at our school? Could she be attending the activity this time?¡±
Upon hearing this, Sun Huiwen lifted her chin egotistically and gazed at the crowd around her proudly. Speaking in a louder voice, she announced smugly, ¡°That¡¯s right! I was specially invited by your Student Union to participate in the activity as a guest-of-honor!¡±
She even emphasized the words ¡°guest-of-honor¡±.
Han Qiqing cursed silently as she heard this. The f*ck!
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She looked at Han Qiqing and asked, ¡°For the activity this time¡ weren¡¯t you involved in the nning? Were you the one who invited her?¡±
¡°How could I have!¡± Han Qiqing was feeling gloomy. ¡°Do you think I¡¯d invite someone I dislike? Is that even possible?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao thought about it and thought that it wasn¡¯t possible.
¡°How did you not know that she¡¯d been invited to the activity this time?¡±
Han Qiqing stammered, her expression a little awkward, ¡°Um¡ I didn¡¯t actually take part in nning the activity this time¡ I dumped the work on other people.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
No wonder she didn¡¯t know that Sun Huiwen was invited.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. ¡°Qiqing, does it really do you good to bezy?¡±
Han Qiqing rubbed her nose and even leaned onto Xiaoxiao on purpose. ¡°I didn¡¯t want to bezy! You weren¡¯t there previously and I just wasn¡¯t in the mood to do anything because I was thinking of you all day.¡±
Sun Huiwen sneered at Han Qiqing. ¡°So you¡¯re also from the Student Union? That¡¯s great. They said that they were going to send someone over to escort me. Instead of troubling them, you shall be my escort!¡±
Han Qiqing red at her and pointed to herself. ¡°You want me to serve you? Dream on!¡±
Was there something wrong with this person¡¯s brain?
¡°Stop changing the subject. Didn¡¯t you say that there¡¯s an exclusive custom edition bag here? Take it out and show me. I really want to see it, you know? The way you lie is so fake! I saw through you right away, you know?¡± Sun Huiwen¡¯s attitude was really deserving of a beating.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. She could no longer stand it. ¡°You want to see the bag, right? Sure, it¡¯s here. See for yourself!¡±
She took the bag off and held it out.
Sun Huiwen didn¡¯t even nce at it. She said dismissively, ¡°Yours is definitely fake! Don¡¯t try to fool me with a fake!¡±
¡°You¡¯re determining that it¡¯s fake without even looking at it?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stared at her.
¡°You don¡¯t say? I¡¯ve used branded goods ever since I was born, no matter what it is. I can tell what¡¯s real or fake just by looking at it. The strap of your bag doesn¡¯t even have the right color. It¡¯s so fake. Do I really need to look at it?¡± Sun Huiwen sneered, her gaze scornful.
Han Qiqingughed, amused by her. ¡°So it¡¯s fake just because the strap is a different color? Who told you that! Don¡¯t act like you know anything when you don¡¯t. Who¡¯s theughable one now.¡±
Sun Huiwen couldn¡¯t stand being shamed. She retorted, ¡°Sure, you say it¡¯s real, right? How can you prove it?¡±
This question stumped both Han Qiqing and Mu Xiaoxiao.
Chapter 1416 - The Easter Egg’s Secret (3)
Chapter 1416: The Easter Egg¡¯s Secret (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao was clueless about famous brands, let alone their authenticity.
As for Han Qiqing, even though she knew a little, she didn¡¯t know how to spot fakes.
The pair exchanged a nce.
An idea came to Mu Xiaoxiao and she red at Sun Huiwen as she said, ¡°Why should we prove it? You were the one who ims it to be fake.¡±
Please, how could anything Yin Shaojie bought for her be fake!
Sun Huiwen didn¡¯t know how to respond to that, ad could only reply, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll prove it then! I knew you were ignorant. Let me give you a lesson today.¡±
She snatched the bag from Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hands. Firstly, she inspected the design of the bag and her eyes looked startled. Then, she turned over the lining.
¡°Well¡¡±
Sun Huiwen¡¯s eyes widened in shock and her expression changed in a second. She looked at Mu Xiaoxiao incredulously and asked in a surprised voice, ¡°You¡¯re¡ Yin Shaojie¡¯s girlfriend?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. ¡°How do you know?¡±
She could tell that from the bag? That was amazing!
Sun Huiwen¡¯s face seemed to turn the color of a pig¡¯s liver. She held the bag out to Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°The bag has some writing. Exclusive custom editions allows designers to customize with a tag to mark it as your own, so it makes it unique¡¡±
¡°The bag has writing?¡± This was what Mu Xiaoxiao was concerned about.
Han Qiqing didn¡¯t care what she thought about the bag¡¯s authenticity anymore. She was more curious about what the writing on the bag said.
¡°Xiaoxiao! What¡¯s written inside? What did Yin Shaojie write?¡±
¡°I dont¡¯ know.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked puzzled. She inspected the lining as well, but didn¡¯t turn up anything.
What had been written?
Why couldn¡¯t she find it?
Han Qiqing said impatiently, ¡°Let me find it! You don¡¯t know how to! Of course it wouldn¡¯t be written in an obvious ce. You have to look carefully for it.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao could only pass her the bag.
The moment Han Qiqing looked at the lining, she saw it. After ascertaining the words, she looked up at Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought her gaze felt weird. ¡°What did he write?¡±
¡°It¡¯s so cheesy!¡± Han Qiqing shuddered as she returned the bag to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao questioned, ¡°What did he write!¡±
¡°You should see for yourself. I can¡¯t bring myself to read it because it¡¯s too cheesy. My goosebumps are falling onto the floor,¡± Han Qiqing even rubbed her arms as she spoke.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled helplessly. ¡°I really can¡¯t find it¡ Where did you see it!¡±
Han Qiqing had no choice but to teach her how to locate it.
¡°It¡¯s right here. When you open the bag, you¡¯ll be able to see it. Doesn¡¯t it have a print? It¡¯s embossed and it says¡ well, you can read it for yourself.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao finally found the words. They were embossed and thus didn¡¯t have a different color from the lining, which made it difficult to be seen at a nce.
It said: Yin Shaojie loves Mu Xiaoxiao.
There was even a line of English words below: One-person-for-life.
One person for life¡
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart swelled. She was deeply touched and overjoyed.
He said he loved her.
After they got together, she rarely heard those three words from him. Even though he was naughty, he wasn¡¯t a cheesy person and wasn¡¯t one to speak his feelings out loud.
He pampered her, amodated her, treated her well, and tolerated all of her tantrums. He was a person to disy his love through his actions.

Han Qiqing saw her touched expression and smiled. She said to her, ¡°I didn¡¯t know that Yin Shaojie could be this romantic¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao returned to her senses, her exquisite face a little bashful.
So this was the Easter egg he was talking about?
She had forgotten about the Easter egg earlier because Qiqing had appeared suddenly.
If Sun Huiwen hadn¡¯t examined the bag for her, she might never have discovered the Easter egg.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly.
Should she find a time to tell him the ¡°three words?¡±
It was a good idea!
Han Qiqing could tell that she was a little embarrassed. She hung her arm around her shoulders and teased, ¡°Another way to think about this is to think of Yin Shaojie wanting you to carry this bag everyday so that you¡¯ll remember that you¡¯re his.¡±
Good, this was a dominant move!
Sun Huiwen took a step back. Her arrogant expression was toned down a lot as she looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°So you¡¯re Yin Shaojie¡¯s girlfriend, huh? Looks like the rumors are true.¡±
Compared to Shangde High, Yin Shaojie was much more well known. Thus, any news of him spread throughout the elites.
There was a rumor that Yin Shaojie had found his soulmate and was willing to give up the forest for a tree.
No one in the elite circle didn¡¯t know how frequently Yin Shaojie changed girlfriends.
Even so, he was still the hunk of every girls¡¯ dreams.
Sun Huiwen had a sister who hugged a picture of Yin Shaojie every night and kissed it goodnight before falling asleep. This behavior was the epitome of an infatuated fanatic.
Sun Huiwen had had a crush on Yin Shaojie before. However, he was way out of her league, which made him feel unreachable. Thus, she changed her target afterwards and began crushing on someone else.
Thus, she felt unhappy as she looked upon Mu Xiaoxiao.
She pointed to Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s bag and said, ¡°Your exclusive custom edition bag was a gift from Young Master Jie, right?¡±
Her expression seem to say that if Young Master Jie hadn¡¯t bought the bag for her, she wouldn¡¯t have the right to own it.
These words ascertained that Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s bag was an exclusive custom edition one.
Instantly, the spectators gasped.
¡°Goodness, Young Master Jie gifted Mu Xiaoxiao an exclusive custom edition Gi bag! That¡¯s too generous!¡±
¡°Young Master Jie treats her so well¡ I¡¯m envious¡¡±
¡°Boohoo, I also want to have a boyfriend like Young Master Jie¡ I pray to the gods that I¡¯ll get one!¡±
Han Qiqing red at Sun Huiwen, ¡°So? Do you have any problem with that?¡±
Sun Huiwen didn¡¯t dare to have any problems with that, but she still said, ¡°So what if it¡¯s an exclusive custom edition bag? I¡¯ll have one someday!¡±
Han Qiqing deliberately made a dig at her and said, ¡°Do you have one now?¡±
Sun Huiwen was stumped.
Mu Xiaoxiao tugged at Han Qiqing¡¯s shirt and smiled as she said, ¡°It¡¯s just a bag. It doesn¡¯t matter what brand it is. The most important thing is to like it.¡±
Because Sun Huiwen led her to the Easter egg¡¯s secret, she didn¡¯t want to make things difficult for her.
¡°What¡¯s the hype around here?¡± A mesmerizing husky voice rang out. A person parted the crowd and walked over.
Upon hearing the voice, Sun Huiwen transformed from a mother tigress into a littlemb. In a coy voice, she bleated, ¡°Brother Shengyang! Where have you been? Do you know, I¡¡±

She pouted at Feng Shengyang and tried to grab onto his arm so she couldin to him.
However, Feng Shengyang walked past her towards Mu Xiaoxiao, a dazzling smile on his face. ¡°Baby Xiaoxiao, it¡¯s been so long since I saw you. Did you miss me? I missed you every single day.¡±
¡°Feng Shengyang?¡± Why are you here?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him, puzzled.
Sun Huiwen¡¯s arm froze. She red at Mu Xiaoxiao angrily.
It seemed to be warning her not to snatch her man away.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. Could this Sun Huiwen be Feng Shengyang¡¯s girlfriend?
Upon seeing that it was Feng Shengyang, the girls went into a frenzy and they all tried to jump onto him.
¡°Feng Shengyang! Feng Shengyang, you¡¯re really handsome!¡±
¡°I love your song and I love you! May I have your signature?¡±
¡°Young Master Feng! Young Master Feng!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned as she dug at her ears, annoyed by the squealing.
Han Qiqing rested her arm on her shoulder and looked at Feng Shengyang and then at Sun Huiwen. She seemed to recall something and touched her forehead in thought. ¡°Why do I feel like I have forgotten something? What was it? It feels really important.¡±
Just then, someone in the crowd eximed.
¡°Ah! I remember now! Yeah, there was some gossip that said Feng Shengyang was secretly photographed with a minor celebrity at a hotel! And that celebrity looks like Sun Huiwen!¡±
Upon hearing that, Feng Shengyang¡¯s fans red at the voice and retorted, ¡°That¡¯s just gossip! It¡¯s fake! How can you trust gossip? Gossip is just used to stir drama, don¡¯t you know that?¡±¡±ess ReadReadNovelFull.live if you like watching mangaics.
¡°That¡¯s right, our Young Master Feng likes girls with inner beauty, not a decorative inte celebrity like Sun Huiwen!¡±
¡°They¡¯re just using the tabloid news to stir drama and whoever who believes it is an idiot!¡±
Upon being called an idiot, the person became upset and retorted, ¡°Who said that gossip is all fake? This isn¡¯t the first time Feng Shengyang was rumored to have a love affair with someone. Could all the gossip about that be fake? Only idiots will believe such falsehoods!¡±
Feng Shengyang¡¯s fans became infuriated upon hearing this.
¡°Who are you talking about? I dare you to say it once more!¡±
¡°Let me tell you something. It¡¯s one thing to insult us, but you¡¯re not allowed to do insult our Young Master Feng! Do you understand him? He¡¯s not a loose man! You don¡¯t have any basis for your im, so what right do you have to say that?¡±
¡°If you dare to speak ill of Young Master Feng again, I¡¯ll tear your mouth right open! Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t have the guts to do it!¡±
As they went on their tirade, their words became uglier.
It looked like they were about to start fighting. Nearby, Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. How did the situation evolve into this?
There were two female fans who looked quite upset. It was only when they were about to go up to punch the person that Feng Shengyang smirked devilishly, walked forward, and raised hand hands elegantly. ¡°Stop fighting.¡±
He only spoke two words and even said it patiently, quite unlike the tone used to dissuade someone from fighting.
However, those fans stopped and looked obediently at Feng Shengyang.
Feng Shengyang smiled and said, ¡°I don¡¯t like it when you fight. Did you forget that?¡±
The fans, who had looked furious and were about to punch someone just a moment ago, turned into docile littlembs immediately. Nodding obediently, they apologized, ¡°Sorry, Young Master Feng. We won¡¯t do it again.¡±

¡°Good.¡± Feng Shengyang smiled at them in a sexy and stylish manner.
There was another wave of screaming from the female fans.
Mu Xiaoxiao stepped to the side and stoppered her ears with her fingers while looking at Feng Shengyang with slight disbelief.
Upon Feng Shengyang¡¯s appearance, people immediately posted it on their Moments, Weibo, and forums.
In a few minutes, crowds were streaming towards the activity venue.
Sun Huiwen didn¡¯t look happy. She walked forward, hugged Feng Shengyang¡¯s arm and said coquettishly, ¡°Brother Shengyang! There are so many people here! I¡¯m so scared. You have to protect me.¡±
Han Qiqing was looking at her and almost vomited in disgust.
She hugged Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s arm andined, ¡°I can¡¯t take it anymore. My stomach is simply rolling. How can someone¡¯s words be so gross?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her in amusement. She saw more and more girls rushing over, pushing their way through to get closer to Feng Shengyang.
She wanted to leave this ce right now.
Feng Shengyang was over 1.8 meters tall. He looked like a crane amongst a flock of chickens as he stood in front of the girls.
He swept his gaze across the sea of girls.
Immediately, the crazed fans fell silent and did not dare to make any more noise.
However, there were still people pushing against the crowd. In a moment of carelessness, they pushed a girl until she fell to the ground. Syed out on the ground like a frog, she was a sorry sight.
However, the position looked really funny to passersby andughter could be heard.
Mu Xiaoxiao was standing right beside her and helped the girl up instinctively. ¡°Are you okay?¡±
The girl felt embarrassed and touched the hair near her ear. In an apologetic tone, she said, ¡°Sorry.¡±
She tried to step back, but staggered.
Mu Xiaoxiao realized that there was something wrong with her leg. ¡°Did you fall onto your knee? Is it painful?¡±
The girl looked very reserved. Xiaoxiao did not expect her to be an idol fanatic.
The girl waved her hands in embarrassment. ¡°I¡¯m okay. It¡¯s alright. Thank you.¡±
However, she frowned in pain when she tried to take another step.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned around and was about to ask Qiqing to help when she saw a dark figure sh past her.
In the next second, the girl behind her let out a piercing scream.
Mu Xiaoxiao had no time to see who the dark figure was before she cupped her hands to her ears.
She had to get out of here now. If she stayed any longer, her ears would not be able to take it.
When she returned to her senses and fixed her eyes on the figure, she realized that it was Feng Shengyang who had walked past her. He walked over to help the girl up and even bent over to wipe the dust away from the girl¡¯s knee.
¡°Are you okay?¡± He lifted his gaze and looked at the girl with his mesmerizing gaze. There was a concerned smile on his lips and his voice sounded sexy and pleasant.
The girl was ensnared in his spell and stared infatuatedly into his eyes. Shaking her head dazedly, she said, ¡°I¡¯m okay¡¡±
¡°How can you call this okay? My heart aches for you.¡±
Thest sentence could steal any girl¡¯s heart.
The girls beside her let out scary piercing screams once more.
Sun Huiwen looked upon them from nearby, her jealousy clear on her face.
Feng Shengyang stood up and beckoned to someone from afar.

Chapter 1420: She Dumped Me (3)
Two bodyguards in ck suits pushed through the crowd and came over.
¡°Take her to the school¡¯s clinic to check on her injuries and remember to report back to me,¡± Feng Shengyang ordered them, his cool look causing the girls to go gaga over him again.
¡°Yes, Young Master,¡± The two bodyguards replied respectfully, escorting the girl quietly out of the circle.
Looking at the fans, Feng Shengyang said emphatically, ¡°Listen, you girls. No pushing, do you hear me?¡±
¡°Yes!¡± the girls answered obediently.
¡°Also, be quiet,¡± he said.
¡°Yes!¡± The fans did as he said.
Seeing that, Mu Xiaoxiao was a little dumbstruck.
Why did this situation seem different from before?
She went back to Han Qiqing¡¯s side and whispered to her, ¡°What¡¯s with this? Why are these girls being so obedient?¡±
It should be noted that most of the girls at Shangde High were from rich families. Though not all of them had bad tempers at least half of them were bossy and hard to amodate.
She never expected that Feng Shengyang would actually be able to tame them. He was actually pretty skillful!
Han Qiqing looked at her. ¡°Don¡¯t you know?¡±
¡°Know what?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao felt like she was missing something.
Han Qiqing pointed her nose at Feng Shengyang and whispered, ¡°That guy has risen in poprity recently. He acted as a bossy young master in a drama which has quite a following.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded understandingly, ¡°Oh, so that¡¯s why.¡±
Given Feng Shengyang¡¯s looks, his prominent background, and his unconventional personality, it was very easy for girls to be fascinated with him. With the character that he yed in the film, it was even easier for fans to go crazy over him.
From the way that he was winning the crowd, Feng Shengyang was really too great a fit for show business.
Feng Shengyang turned around and walked up to Mu Xiaoxiao, his eyebrows raised sexily as he smiled and asked, ¡°You haven¡¯t answered me yet. Did you miss me?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him and said, ¡°Do you want me to answer yes or no?¡±
¡°Xiaoxiao baby, I want the truth of course.¡± Feng Shengyang walked up beside her, cing his arm on her shoulder.
Han Qiqing was unhappy as she red at him and shoved his hand away. ¡°Hey! Watch it! Do you think Xiaoxiao is someone you can hold so casually?¡±
Was this guy not afraid of death?
He actually dared to hug Xiaoxiao in Yin Shaojie¡¯s turf.
Wait until Yin Shaojie sees this¡
Han Qiqingughed ominously.
Feng Shengyang turned a deaf ear to her warning as he held Mu Xiaoxiao and walked forward. ¡°Let¡¯s find somewhere we can catch up. There are too many people here.¡±
He leaned close to Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ears and said thoughtfully with an expression that seemed as though he knew her well, ¡°I know you don¡¯t like crowds.¡±
¡°Brother Shengyang!¡± Sun Huiwen was stomping angrily at the side.
She had been stomping already earlier in protest of being ignored but no one cared and it seemed as though Feng Shengyang didn¡¯t see her.
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to be the only person in his eyes.
At the thought of this, Sun Huiwen¡¯s expression contorted.
Chapter 1421 - She Dumped Me (4)
Chapter 1421: She Dumped Me (4)
This woman was too good. Not only could she take hold of Yin Shaojie, but she was even able to make Feng Shengyang treat her differently than how he treated other girls.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. Although she seemed reluctant to go along with him, she decided to go along with him after giving consideration to his image and thest time when he got injured.
She asked, ¡°You¡¯re not invited by the Student Union too, are you?¡±
Otherwise, why would a celebrity like hime to school?
There would probably be crowds wherever he went.
Feng Shengyang smiled as he snapped his fingers. ¡°Clever! Xiaoxiao baby, you¡¯re really smart. I like that about you.¡±
Hearing how he was calling her, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but get goosebumps.
¡°Can you stop calling me that? It sounds weird!¡±
¡°You¡¯ll slowly get used to it.¡± Feng Shengyang¡¯s smile was graceful but his tone was bossy.
The onlookers had been craning their necks to eavesdrop on their conversation. Upon hearing this, they were secretly going gaga again. But because he had told them to be quiet earlier, they didn¡¯t dare to make noise this time.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know what to do with him.
Feng Shengyang walked her toward arge car.
¡°What¡¯s this car for?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked up at the high roof, wondering if it were a camper van.
Feng Shengyang answered slowly, ¡°I changed to a nanny van.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
This was obviously camper van! He was using a camper van as a nanny van?
Mu Xiaoxiao gave a confused expression.
The door opened and Feng Shengyang invited her to the car.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but sigh when she saw the internal decor. ¡°Aren¡¯t you a little too indulgent?¡±
Must he take it so far? There was actually a bed in the car?
A bed?
Yes, a bed!
So she guessed right. This was really a camper van.
There wasn¡¯t just a bed, but also a sofa, television, and the typical things you find in a camper van. There were also things that couldn¡¯t be found in typical camper vans.
For example¡ a massage chair?
Feng Shengyang looked in the direction of her gaze. He smiled and said, ¡°Are you interested? Wanna try it?¡±
¡°No.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. She turned around and noticed that the look he was giving was quite suggestive.
¡°What¡¯s with this look you¡¯re giving me?¡± she asked.
Feng Shengyang sat on the sofa, his long arms ced on the back of the sofa as he gazed at her, smiling, ¡°We did bump into each other once, but because I was in the car and it was just for a moment, I thought my eyes were ying tricks on me.¡±
¡°When was that?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked casually, not that she was really interested in knowing.
Wait¡
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. She had not been going out frequently recently, and his strange smile was making her think of bad things.
She suddenly wanted to know where he had seen her.
Could it be thest time when she went with Qiqing?
Feng Shengyang smiled with pursed lips.
Just then, Sun Huiwen also got on the car, and she stared at Mu Xiaoxiao with obvious enmity.
¡°Brother Shengyang, you know this girl? Is she your ex-girlfriend?¡± Sun Huiwen walked over, sat next to him, and hugged his arm.
Ex-girlfriend?
Hearing this, Feng Shengyang smiled in amusement and goaded her, saying, ¡°Yeah, she dumped me.¡±

¡°Hey!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao quickly piped up, ring at him.
What nonsense was he spouting!
Feng Shengyang smiled suggestively. ¡°Didn¡¯t you? You chose Yin Shaojie. Isn¡¯t that dumping me?¡±
He sighed and held his hand at his heart and said, ¡°My heart still hurts. It was the first time I felt the pain of being jilted¡¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him, bit her lip, and flung her hand to hit his arm. She looked at him and said, ¡°Since when did you like me? Why didn¡¯t I know that?¡±
What a load of bull!
Feng Shengyangughed as he blocked her hand with his palm, and he jokingly said, ¡°I like you but you only had eyes for Yin Shaojie.¡±
Sun Huiwen pulled a long face. Looking at how intimate they looked was a painful sight to see.
Han Qiqing came as well. She was slow toe because she was having an argument with Sun Huiwen outside.
¡°Hey! Don¡¯t try to escape. How are we going to settle the matter? Xiaoxiao¡¯s bag is genuine. You tested it. So what now?¡± Han Qiqing stood at the door of the car, her arms folded at her chest as she looked at Sun Huiwen.
¡°What what now? I don¡¯t know!¡± Sun Huiwen wanted to weasel her way out, leaning on Feng Shengyang as if counting on him to support her.
Han Qiqing sneered, ¡°You remember how you treated us, right? Shouldn¡¯t you at least apologize?¡±
¡°Apologize? You want me to apologize? Dream on!¡± Sun Huiwen snorted.
Feng Shengyang looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and removed Sun Huiwen from his arm.Read more chapter on ReadNovelFull
¡°What¡¯s the matter? She treated you badly just now.¡±
¡°Brother Shengyang¡¡± Sun Huiwen was like the guilty party filing suit as she quicklyined to him, but before she could finish speaking, Feng Shengyang shot a look at her. ¡°Quiet! Did I let you speak?¡±
Sun Huiwen pursed her lips with a pitiful expression, her eyes looking as though they were about to tear up as sheined, ¡°You want to help her and not me? How can you do this!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at them and thought of the scandal on Weibost time.
They looked like a pair of lovers.
If that was the case, then it wouldn¡¯t feel appropriate to make things difficult for Sun Huiwen. Although Sun Huiwen treated them harshly before, she was not too affected by it.
She said, ¡°Qiqing, forget it. It¡¯s okay.¡±
Feng Shengyang looked up at her, as if he knew what she was thinking, and he frowned. ¡°You don¡¯t believe those scandals too, do you?¡±
¡°What?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him.
Feng Shengyang pointed to Sun Huiwen, ¡°You think we are a pair?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao: ¡°¡ Yeah.¡±
Wasn¡¯t it obvious?
Han Qiqing leaned to one side, with a gossipy expression as she looked at him and said, ¡°Feng Shengyang, let me ask you. How do you exin the time when you were caught at the hotel¡¯s presidential suite together with her?¡±
How could they not be a pair if they went to get a room together?
Or could it be¡
Han Qiqing looked at Feng Shengyang disdainfully. Could he be the kind of promiscuous guy who went around having casual sex with girls?
So, they weren¡¯t lovers, but¡ bed buddies?
Feng Shengyang looked at Mu Xiaoxiao, his fist by his mouth as he coughed and said to her, ¡°If I said¡ that we were only ying in the room, would you believe it?¡±
¡°ying what? Bed games? Or Fight the Landlord1?¡± Han Qiqing snorted. Her expression was clearly saying ¡°Bullshit!¡±
Feng Shengyang chuckled, pointed to Han Qiqing, and said, ¡°You guessed right. We were ying Fight the Landlord.¡±

Han Qiqing was speechless.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
The two looked at each other.
Fight the Landlord?
Who was he kidding?
How could anyone believe that a man and a woman were in a hotel room just to y Fight the Landlord? And how could they y Fight the Landlord with only two yers!
Feng Shengyang eyebrows rose. ¡°You don¡¯t believe it?¡±
He gave Sun Huiwen a look to let her exin.
Reluctant, Sun Huiwen deliberately said, ¡°Fight the Landlord? That night, we clearly¡ Aw, Brother Shengyang, it¡¯s too embarrassing to talk about!¡±
Feng Shengyang stared at her. Sun Huiwen seemed to be a little afraid of him and she obediently stopped her coy act.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt that the atmosphere was awkward.
Strange. Now it seemed as though they were interrogating him.
She waved her hand and said, ¡°Okay, okay. You were ying Fight the Landlord, whatever you say. It doesn¡¯t matter.¡±
Even if Feng Shengyang really had that kind of rtionship with this woman, it had nothing to do with her, right?
Feng Shengyang didn¡¯t want to let the matter rest like this and he said to Sun Huiwen, ¡°Give me the cell phone.¡±
Sun Huiwen paused for a moment, feeling reluctant.
She could not stand the look he was giving her and she obediently handed the cell phone over to him.
Feng Shengyang searched through the pictures in the phone.
Han Qiqing looked curious and craned her neck over to have a look.
The photos were all selfies. Some of them with her in just her undies making various seductive poses. It was awkward as they stared at it.
But Feng Shengyang looked intently as he swiped through the pictures.
Then he stopped and brought the photo before Mu Xiaoxiao.
¡°See for yourself.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to see. How does it concern me whether you did anything with her?¡±
Feng Shengyang raised his brows and said, ¡°I¡¯m proving my innocence, okay? Take a look!¡±
He stuck the phone right in her face and she had no choice but to look.
The gorgeous hotel suite in the background looked like the Presidential Suite. There were three people, two men, and one woman. Feng Shengyang and Sun Huiwen
Who was the other man?
Han Qiqing teased them, ¡°Whoa, a threesome! A celebrity sure knows how to y!¡±
Feng Shengyang shot a look at Han Qiqing.
A threesome? Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them, looking puzzled, wanting to know that meant.
Feng Shengyang didn¡¯t want her to learn about such nonsense. ¡°Don¡¯t listen to her nonsense. This is Huiwen¡¯s brother. He¡¯s my friend. He was the one who was staying at the presidential suite that night. We only went up to y. It was a coincidence that we bumped into each other.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing looked at each other.
So that was what happened!
It was awkward. They never thought that they were really ying Fight the Landlord.
¡°Alright, you¡¯re innocent, okay?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao returned the cell phone to him. It was about time for this conversation to end. It would be very weird if they were to keep on talking about it.
Han Qiqing joked, ¡°That is why you shouldn¡¯t listen to media gossip. You can¡¯t simply take in whatever they say. They¡¯re not credible. Take it with a pinch of salt.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nced at her from the corner of her eyes.
Who was the one reading about all those gossip and always believe them? Look who¡¯s talking.
Just then, a member of the Student Union came over, knocked on the door, and politely told Feng Shengyang, ¡°Young Master Feng, the event is going to start soon.¡±
Feng Shengyang waved to him in an idle, bossy manner. ¡°Give it a few more minutes. Don¡¯t you see I¡¯m talking to my friends?¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The student from the Student Union was put in an awkward spot as he looked to Han Qiqing for help.
Mu Xiaoxiao criticized Feng Shengyang directly, ¡°Why are you acting so self-important? The event is starting. What¡¯s there to talk about? Hurry up and go.¡±
Sun Huiwen clung onto Feng Shengyang¡¯s arm again and said, ¡°Brother Shengyang, let¡¯s go to work first. Work is more important.¡±
¡°Who says work is more important?¡± Feng Shengyang shot back.
Sun Huiwen was stunned for a moment and didn¡¯t know how to respond.
Feng Shengyang stood up and walked up to Mu Xiaoxiao, smiling as he said suggestively, ¡°I think there are people who are more important than work. Don¡¯t you agree?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao could smell the cologne off his body. It was a very strong manly fragrance.
She took a step back.
¡°Feng Shengyang, that¡¯s not right. When you have to work, you have to work. Be a little more professional, okay? Hurry up and go attend the event. Don¡¯t put the Student Union on the spot.¡±
Feng Shengyang looked at her, and nodded unexpectedly. ¡°Okay then, I¡¯ll go to work first. Wait for me here, alright?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t get him. ¡°Why?¡±
Why should she wait here obediently?
This person was simply too weird!
Feng Shengyang smiled and said as though it was a matter of course, ¡°Because I want to see youter. How do I know you won¡¯t run away? So be good and stay in the car. Don¡¯t go anywhere lest I have toe find you. If you don¡¯t want that, then I won¡¯t go to the event. I¡¯ll apany you here.¡±
¡°Who needs yourpany!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao yelled at him.
Feng Shengyang said roguishly, ¡°So are you going to promise me? I¡¯m serious, if you don¡¯t promise me, then I won¡¯t go.¡±
The boy from the Student Union looked anxious.
Han Qiqing was irritated by Feng Shengyang. ¡°Do you want to break the contract?¡±
Feng Shengyang ignored her and only smiled at Mu Xiaoxiao, as if waiting for her decision.
¡°If you don¡¯t promise, you just need to say the word,¡± he said as though it weren¡¯t a difficult decision.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked down as though she were hesitating.
Feng Shengyang smiled as he watched her.
Then, Mu Xiaoxiao slowly looked up, her beautiful ze-like eyes met his, and she said calmly, ¡°I¡¡±
Before she could finish saying, suddenly a voice interrupted bossily, ¡°She won¡¯t do it!¡±
This voice!
Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head back to see Yin Shaojie.
¡°Why are you here?¡±
She went up to him almost instinctively.
Yin Shaojie held her shoulders, telling everyone that she was his girl. He looked up at Feng Shengyang.
Feng Shengyang still kept smiling. With ack of seriousness, he smiled and said in a casual and glib manner, ¡°Calm down. I was only teasing her. By the way, I¡¯m curious, are you two telepathic?¡±
From his tone, it seemed that he was really just teasing Mu Xiaoxiao. Why would he do it if not for how interestingly Mu Xiaoxiao reacted?
Actually, Mu Xiaoxiao was going to refuse him.
She was not going to promise Feng Shengyang. Why would she do that?
It was none of her business even if he wanted to break the contract.
With an arm holding Mu Xiaoxiao and the other hand in his trouser pocket, Yin Shaojie stood at the door with a faint smile. Though he was not angry, there was a kingly, imposing air about him that made one feel subservient to him.
¡°The event is about to start. Please prepare as quickly as possible ande out in five minutes.¡±

After that, he hooked an arm around Mu Xiaoxiao and prepared to leave.
However, Feng Shengyang smirked and called out to them, ¡°Wait.¡±
Then, he looked back at Sun Huiwen, grabbed her hand suddenly, and pulled her out of the mobile house.
¡°I won¡¯t go through the trouble. We¡¯ll go right now.¡±
Sun Huiwen looked at him in surprise. She held onto his hand tightly and immediately hugged his arm like an obedient little pet.
Nearby, Han Qiqing made a vomiting motion.
The Student Union member standing outside was stunned and unable to react.
As Feng Shengyang walked past him, he shot him a nce and teased mockingly, ¡°Why are you still standing there? Isn¡¯t the activity about to begin? I know I¡¯m handsome, but you don¡¯t have to stare at me with that gaze. I¡¯m heterosexual and I like girls.¡±
The Student Union member was startled and stammered, ¡°I-I¡¯m not staring!¡±
Feng Shengyang looked towards Yin Shaojie and said, ¡°Are all your Student Union members like this? I think you should heighten your membership standards.¡±
With that, he walked past the boy.
Sun Huiwen even shot a saucy nce backwards.
The boy lowered his head in regret and said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, President¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Yin Shaojie red at Feng Shengyang as he tugged Mu Xiaoxiao forward.
As she walked past the boy, she patted his shoulder. ¡°Really, you¡¯re too much of a pushover! You better be careful next time!¡±
¡°Understood¡¡±
¡°Xiaoxiao, wait for me!¡± Han Qiqing looked up and saw that Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie were a little far off and she sprinted over hurriedly.
The activity venue was packed with people.
A nce across the venue showed that most of the crowd consisted of girls. There were also Feng Shengyang¡¯s fans, who held up banners and props as they shouted Feng Shengyang¡¯s name.
It had to be said that the scene was spectacr and clearly showed how popr Feng Shengyang was.
Han Qiqing looked around. ¡°Looks like there are people from other schools here as well.¡±
Luckily, Shangde High¡¯s campus was big enough. If not, they would have been starved for space.
Mu Xiaoxiao hugged Yin Shaojie¡¯s arm intimately as she leaned her little face in closer to ask, ¡°It¡¯s only a Student Union activity. Won¡¯t inviting Feng Shengyang incur a lot of expenses?¡±
Feng Shengyang was very popr nowadays, which meant that inviting him to events was not cheap.
Yin Shaojie smiled. Because the venue was a little noisy, he moved his lips close to her ear instinctively and spoke in his maic voice, ¡°You should know that our school is very rich.¡±
The school had money, but the Student Union had even more money.
The venue was practically a fan-meet and greet. Every girl was trying to push her way forward, trying to get closer to her male idol.
Mu Xiaoxiao also noticed that there were quite a few girls, their gazes fixed on Yin Shaojie. Their infatuated expressions were so obvious that it only took one look to see it.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know why but she felt a little unhappy. She stood in front of Yin Shaojie and leaned back smoothly as though she were trying to disrupt their view of him.
However, she was short and petite and obviously could not block their view.
Yin Shaojie seemed to feel her movement andughed lightly, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao tugged at him. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±
¡°Wait.¡± Yin Shaojie sounded a little sly. ¡°We haven¡¯t seen the drama yet.¡±
Drama? Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. Suddenly, she realized something and said, ¡°You¡ The person who invited Feng Shengyang actually you?¡±

Yin Shaojie smiled but didn¡¯t reply, not giving her a direct answer. Instead, he held her little hand and brought her to a space with the best view.
Mu Xiaoxiao tugged at his hand and questioned curiously, ¡°You said that there was going to be drama. What did you mean by that?¡±
By now, Han Qiqing was immune to their flirting. Thus she followed behind them naturally, and was not afraid of being a gooseberry anymore.
¡°Yeah, I¡¯m interested to know too,¡± she echoed Mu Xiaoxiao.
Yin Shaojie smiled devilishly and looked mischievous. From what Mu Xiaoxiao knew of him, he must be nning something bad.
Mu Xiaoxiao saw that he wasn¡¯t willing to speak up and shook his hand anxiously. ¡°Hey! Tell us!¡±
Han Qiqing craned her neck.
Yin Shaojieughed. ¡°Won¡¯t you know it when you watch it? Alright, stop talking and watch the drama.¡±
Watch the drama?
Why did this phrase make her feel so uneasy?
This was evidently an activity but he said that it was a drama. This made Mu Xiaoxiao certain that he was nning something bad.
It was natural that such an activity had to have an MC.
The MC stood by Feng Shengyang and Sun Huiwen¡¯s side. He didn¡¯t introduce them dryly but was entertaining. ¡°I don¡¯t think I have to introduce the people beside me for you to know who they are, right? These two are famous celebrities. Whoever doesn¡¯t know them, please turn around and walk left. That¡¯s right, that¡¯s where our school¡¯s entrance is.¡±
Everyoneughed amusedly at hisst sentence.
¡°We are really honored to be able to invite the two of you today to participate in our activity. I believe everyone can¡¯t wait for it to start, right? Ay, ay, the girl in front, please control yourself a little.¡±
The emcee pointed at the girl. Everyone thought it was because the girl was standing too close. The girl stepped back a little.
Unexpectedly, the emceeughed. ¡°I was referring to your saliva. Control yourself or you might scare your male idol away.¡±
These words made everyoneugh again, and the girl blushed in embarrassment.
After hyping up the crowd, it was now time for the activity to start.
Since the popr Feng Shengyang was invited, it was natural that the purpose was for him to interact with Shangde¡¯s students.
The emcee said, ¡°Now, I will invite a few students up here to y a little game with our Young Master Feng and Miss Sun. Who wants toe up?¡±
Ny-nine percent of the crowd raised their hands.
The girls raised their hands for Feng Shengyang while the boys raised their hands for Sun Huiwen.
The MC smiled as he said, ¡°That¡¯s a lot of hands! The poprity of our Young Master Feng and Miss Sun is really shocking! However, we¡¯re sorry but we can only pick four people! Alright, we¡¯ll let Young Master Feng pick.¡±
A person came forward with a little bamboo basket with four small balls inside. Feng Shengyang was to throw the balls out and the people who caught the ball coulde up on stage.
Feng Shengyang weighed the ball in his hand and looked towards Mu Xiaoxiao, his smile hinting at a thought.
¡°Would anyone mind if I showed some favoritism?¡±
His bad boy expression made him look really handsome, inviting another wave of screams from his girl fans.
¡°We don¡¯t mind!¡± His fans replied amodatingly.
Feng Shengyang¡¯s attitude was very obvious as he walked towards Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. Was he trying to get her to y with him?
Stop ying around!
Beside her, Yin Shaojie stared at him.

Feng Shengyang¡¯s gaze met Yin Shaojie¡¯s as he grinned.
Just then, the MC came up. With a gentle smile, he said, ¡°Young Master Feng, let¡¯s throw the ball instead.¡±
Feng Shengyang looked at the host and stopped in his tracks.
¡°Throw the ball? Sure.¡±
Then, he threw the ball in Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s direction.
He didn¡¯t throw it forcefully.
The little ball traced an arc across the sky.
Just as the ball was about to reach Mu Xiaoxiao, a hand shot out and pped the ball aside.
The small ball deviated from its original course and flew into the crowd nearby. Instantly, the students began to buzz with noise and excitement.
Some people wanted to move forward and get closer to Feng Shengyang.
For others, were crazy about getting the ball because Yin Shaojie had touched it.
The snatching match turned everyone upside down and it was only because of the MC controlling the situation that a stampede did not ur.
The person who caught the ball was a girl. She hid it against her chest tightly, as though it were her life.
Suddenly, someone said, ¡°Give me the ball and I¡¯ll pay you a thousand dors!¡±
¡°I¡¯ll give you five thousand!¡±
¡°Give it to me and I¡¯ll give you ten thousand!¡±
¡°I¡¯ll give you twenty thousand!¡±
It suddenly turned into an auction¡
Mu Xiaoxiao was in disbelief as she watched the girls and listened as the prices they called out skyrocketed.
Did they have to be so dramatic?
However, the girl who got the ball pushed them aside. Her hair was messy as she dered resolutely, ¡°No! I won¡¯t sell it no matter how much money you offer!¡±Read more chapter at ReadNovelFull
The girls could only leave in disappointment.
The MC smiled as he said, ¡°Congrats to our first lucky person. Pleasee over here.¡±
The girl walked over.
Feng Shengyang saw how she had rejected so many people and felt proud that she had not been moved by money.
She was a true fan.
Feng Shengyang felt pleased.
¡°Hey, student, I didn¡¯t expect you to like Young Master Feng that much. May I ask what part of him you like the most?¡± The MC looked at the girl and held out the microphone to her.
The girl lowered her head and looked a little awkward. She didn¡¯t speak.
The emcee encouraged her, ¡°Come on, don¡¯t be shy.¡±
Finally, the girl spoke, ¡°Actually, the person I like is Young Master Jie.¡±
It was evident that she had only put in so much effort to grab the ball because it had been touched by Young Master Jie.
The MC said, ¡°Uh¡¡±
This was a little awkward!
Feng Shengyang¡¯s originally proud and smiling expression faded.
The MC hurried to mediate the atmosphere. ¡°That¡¯s great, you have good taste! However, since you¡¯ve already gotten the ball, you¡¯re wee to y the game. Okay?¡±
¡°Okay,¡± the girl said.
The MC¡¯s offered the bamboo basket to Feng Shengyang for him to take the second ball.
¡°Let¡¯s see who¡¯s going to be the second lucky person!¡±
He could pretend that nothing had happened, but Feng Shengyang could not.
He passed an icy nce over the smiling Yin Shaojie.
Feng Shengyang walked over again, trying to get Mu Xiaoxiao toe up again.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry and said exasperatedly, ¡°Feng Shengyang, can you stop throwing it to me?¡±
Feng Shengyang stopped in his tracks and harrumphed.
He moved his hand and threw the small ball flippantly.
He didn¡¯t care who got the ball anymore as he took the other two and threw them out consecutively.

¡°Students who have gotten the ball, pleasee up here. Thank you,¡± the MC smiled as he said.
After a mad scramble, a couple of girls emerged victorious, clutching the ball in their hands.
The boys tried to snatch the balls away but they were no match for the girls.
The MC said, ¡°The game is simple. There are six people, so there will be three teams of two in total. I have a few blown-up balloons here and without using your hands or putting them on the ground, you are to pop as many balloons as you can in one minute. Whoever wins will not only get a prize from us, but can also state a small request. Of course, the request cannot be too overboard, such as asking Young Master Feng for a kiss or things like that. Even if you¡¯re not afraid of being trampled, I am.¡±
Upon hearing the rules, Sun Huiwen immediately hugged Feng Shengyang¡¯s arm and announced, ¡°I want to be on the same team as Brother Shengyang!¡±
Feng Shengyang did not look happy as there was no smile on his lips.
What fun was such a game then?
He remembered that this was not what had been agreed to.
The MC did not dare to reject Sun Huiwen, so he could only smile and say, ¡°Then, the rest of the students, please form your own teams of two.¡±
The teams were formed quickly and the game started.
Feng Shengyang looked like he was not really interested in ying. On the other hand, Sun Huiwen was really excited. Upon hearing that the game had started, she ced the balloon between the two of them and hugged Feng Shengyang tightly by jumping onto him.
The force in which she did so was too much and since Feng Shengyang didn¡¯t want to fall backwards, he could only hold her hands to stabilize himself.
Sun Huiwen, however, didn¡¯t seem interested in popping the balloons. Instead, she pressed herself close to Feng Shengyang and began rubbing against him as if trying to seduce him with her body.
Such a suggestive scene riled the crowd.
Some girls red at Sun Huiwen unhappily, thinking her a vixen.
Some other girls were heartbroken as they thought about Sun Huiwen¡¯s rtionship with Feng Shengyang.
Luckily, a minute passed by quickly.
Feng Shengyang¡¯s face sank a little but still maintained his mild, elegant smile.
Sun Huiwen stood by his side, a picture of bliss.
The MC said, ¡°The game has ended and it looks like our Young Master Feng went easy. Was he trying to let his fans win? That¡¯s so considerate~¡±
Upon hearing this, Feng Shengyang¡¯s fan all pped.
However, someone saw the truth of the matter.
Han Qiqing chuckled with her lips pursed before leaning in to Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s ear from behind. ¡°Went easy? He didn¡¯t even y! Look at his expression! It¡¯s almost devoid of a smile.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Yin Shaojie beside and tugged at his hand. ¡°Hey, did you arrange for this to happen?¡±
Yin Shaojie spread his arms and smiled nonchntly, ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with ying a game with fans, right? He¡¯s a superstar, so it¡¯s reasonable to assume he can deal with it. Also, interacting with his fans is also advantageous for his image.¡±
To other stars, this was indeed nothing.
However, Feng Shengyang was different. Even if he went on variety shows, he never participated in games. The people who invited him had to indulge in and amodate him.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry. She felt as though Feng Shengyang was about to quit and leave.
Just then, the MC announced, ¡°Now, we have our next game! This game is very exciting! Bring the prop!¡±
Chapter 1429 - Yin Shaojie’s Bad Intentions (8)
Chapter 1429: Yin Shaojie¡¯s Bad Intentions (8)
With that said, the MC jumped back as though the prop were a bomb.
The Student Union members lifted the prop. It was a shelf that was more than one person tall.
Three bright red apples hung from the middle of the shelf.
The MC smiled suggestively and said, ¡°Can everyone tell what this is going to be? The next game is¡ eating an apple! Hehehe, I can see y¡¯allughing~~¡±
The girls in the crowd couldn¡¯t help but have fantasies and they emitted excited piercing shrieks.
Sun Huiwen was practically in a hurry as she said, ¡°I want to be in the same group as Brother Shengyang!¡±
The game was eating an apple. That meant that they would have to face each other, and if they weren¡¯t careful¡
Sun Huiwen¡¯s imagination ran wild.
Below them, the girls became unhappy. ¡°Why should you still be on the same team as Young Master Feng? This is unfair!¡±
¡°I think she just wants to kiss Young Master Feng! She¡¯s shameless!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, they should draw lots to decide. How can they just let her have her way?¡±
In the meantime, Feng Shengyang¡¯s eyes slipped over to Yin Shaojie and red at him.
He gritted his teeth slightly.
This time, he was 100 percent sure that he was being yed!
Sun Huiwen looked bashful, only thinking about the gameing up. She didn¡¯t notice his expression as she hugged Feng Shengyang¡¯s arm intimately and said, ¡°Brother Shengyang, you want to be on the same team as me too, right? Say something.¡±
She looked down at the crowd. Were there any girls who were prettier than her?
Sun Huiwen was confident that Feng Shengyang would definitely choose her.
Any guy would definitely want to y such a game with a pretty girl, right?
Feng Shengyang turned to look at her and ced his long fingers on the back of her hand.
Sun Huiwen was delighted. ¡°I knew you would choose¡¡±
Before she could finish her words, her hand was ripped off his arm.
This caused the expression on Sun Huiwen¡¯s face to freeze and look upset.
H-He wasn¡¯t going to choose another girl, right¡
How could he!
She had to use this chance to make other people think that they were a couple!
¡°Brother Shengyang,¡± she called out in a coquettish tone.
However, Feng Shengyang ignored her. Instead, he walked over to the MC and snatched his microphone away.
¡°This game is too boring. I don¡¯t want to y anymore.¡±
The MC was a little awkward. He hadn¡¯t expected him to be so direct.
On the contrary, Mu Xiaoxiao felt like this was totally within expectations. This was Feng Shengyang!
The MC was not the Student Union boy from earlier. He was experienced and smiled to ease the situation. ¡°What does Young Master Feng want to y then? Please make your suggestion.¡±
¡°Games are just for fun and have no meaning,¡± Feng Shengyang said as walked towards Yin Shaojie with the microphone in his hand.
He stood in front of Yin Shaojie.
They were both roughly the same height and had a strong presence. There was a subtle tension between them, as though they were about to break out into a fight.
Feng Shengyang smirked and said with an attitude that demanded eptance, ¡°Yin Shaojie, you¡¯re the president of the Student Union, right? How about this: You¡¯ll represent the Student Union and I¡¯ll challenge you! How does it sound?¡±
¡°A challenge?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s eyebrows twitched.
The two of them looked into the other¡¯s eyes, understanding the other¡¯s intent.
Feng Shengyang had realized that he had been yed. Upset, he wanted to fight back.
And as for Yin Shaojie, he would not let Feng Shengyang seed, of course.
However, Feng Shengyang was smart to throw the gauntlet in full view of the crowd and challenge him as President of the Student Union. If he didn¡¯t agree, it would damage the reputation of the entire Student Union.
It was an excellent move.
Chapter 1430 - Was Yin Shaojie Going to Lose? (1)
Chapter 1430: Was Yin Shaojie Going to Lose? (1)
If Yin Shaojie rejected him under such circumstances, not only would the authority of the Student Union be damaged, but also the reputation of Shangde High.
Thus, he had no choice but to agree.
Of course, he wasn¡¯t nning on rejecting him anyway.
However, Yin Shaojie was not a meek person. He could ept the challenge, but he also wanted to take back the field.
The corner of Yin Shaojie¡¯s lips turned up as he met Feng Shengyang¡¯s gaze unreservedly. ¡°You should have told me directly if you wanted to challenge me. There is no need to have an excuse for doing so.¡±
These words implied to the crowd that Feng Shengyang was actually doing this because he was targeting him, using the challenge in the name of the Student Union as an excuse.
Feng Shengyang smiled. ¡°So I take it that you agree?¡±
¡°So, how do you want to challenge me?¡± Yin Shaojie appeared to be generous.
Feng Shengyang was about to say something when the re of a horn interrupted him suddenly. After that, they heard the students at the back scream in surprise before the sound of a sports car¡¯s engine reached their ears.
The crowd was puzzled and turned their heads to look.
They saw a convertible sports car driving through the crowd pompously.
Because of the sports car forcing its way through, the students had no choice but to make way for it.
The convertible sports car headed straight for the two people in front and stopped.
¡°Feng Tianqi?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked in surprise at the person in the car.
What was this guy doing?
She watched as Feng Tianqi leapt out of the car cooly without even opening its door after he parked it.
¡°Brother!¡± Feng Shengyangnded in front of Feng Shengyang in one leap. Smiling cheerily, he patted Feng Shengyang¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°What are you ying? It looks interesting. I want to participate!¡±
Luckily, just as he was about to leave, he heard the news that his brother was at school to participate in an activity and rushed over. If not, he would have missed the fun.
As Feng Shengyang looked at him, a sh of shrewedness passed over his gaze and his lips curled up in a smile.
¡°Sure.¡±
Upon hearing his eptance, Feng Tianqi was immediately overjoyed. ¡°That¡¯s awesome! Let us beat him together!¡±
Feng Shengyang looked towards Yin Shaojie and said, ¡°Let¡¯s y basketball three-on-three. One-on-one would be too boring. You don¡¯t have any objection, right?¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned as he looked at the brothers.
Of course, he could not have any objections and thus replied mildly, ¡°I have no objection.¡±
Feng Tianqi looked like he was going to obtain a sure victory. He announced to Yin Shaojie proudly, ¡°Yin Shaojie, you¡¯re dead meat! You¡¯re going to lose today!¡±
He had yed basketball with his brother since he was little. Their rapport was unrivaled!
Although Mu Xiaoxiao was used to seeing Feng Tianqi¡¯s overconfident attitude, she felt a vague sense of uneasiness for some reason as she swept her gaze across the faces of Feng Tianqi and Feng Shengyang.
Was Yin Shaojie going to lose?
Feng Shengyang let the MC announce the challenge.
The crowd went wild instantly.
¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve ever seen Young Master Feng y basketball. It¡¯s gonna be so awesome! He¡¯s gonna look so cool!¡±
¡°Right, right! I¡¯m so looking forward to it!¡±
¡°All the best, Young Master Feng! You have to win!¡±
¡°Both sides look like they¡¯re really good. It¡¯s so exciting that they¡¯re evenly matched!¡±
¡°It¡¯s so awesome that we can get to see Young Master Jie y basketball again. The way Young Master Jie ys basketball is way too cool!¡±
¡°But¡ I¡¯m worried. Feng Shengyang and his younger brother look very formidable. Will Young Master Jie lose?¡±
¡°What are you talking about? How can Young Master Jie lose! That will never happen!¡±

The crowd moved to the basketball stadium.
Upon seeing Feng Shengyang and his team walk out wearing basketball jerseys, the girls began to shriek fanatically.
Other than Feng Tianqi, the other member of his team was Feng Shengyang¡¯s bodyguard.
Yin Shaojie also emerged after donning his basketball jersey.
The entire stadium was once again filled with shrieks.
It was really hard to tell who was going to win.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s team consisted of Song Shijun and another boy from the Student Union.
Song Shijun looked at Yin Shaojie, a little worried. He asked, ¡°Shaojie, why do I feel like we¡¯re at a disadvantage? Why did you not get one of the students from the basketball team to help out?¡±
He wasn¡¯t trying to say that the members of the Student Union were bad at basketball, but that the members of the basketball team were better at it.
Yin Shaojie looked at him. ¡°Don¡¯t you know? The basketball team is having a friendly match at another school. Besides¡ who do you want me to call upon? Lu Yichen?¡±
Song Shijun looked sorry. ¡°Aiyo, it¡¯s a pity that he¡¯s not here!¡±
With Lu Yichen, the match would have been in their pockets.
Yin Shaojie looked at him and said, ¡°Rx, I can handle it alone.¡±
Song Shijun looked towards Feng Shengyang¡¯s team and was not as confident. Rubbing his nose, he said, ¡°You know that I don¡¯t really y basketball, right? If anything goes wrong, you¡¯re not allowed to me me.¡±
If Ye Sijue were here, it would have been great. With the three friends on the team, their chances of winning would increase greatly.
¡°Speaking of this, why hasn¡¯t Sijuee back yet? Can he not bear toe back?¡± Song Shijun couldn¡¯t help but grumble.
He had never expected Ye Sijue to be such a person, ignoring everyone else once he had a girlfriend.
Song Shijun sighed as he shook his head.
¡°I think you should conserve your energy and warm up first,¡± Yin Shaojie hinted.
It looked like the match was going to be intense. Thus, it was important for them to warm up to minimize their chances of making mistakes.
Yin Shaojie frowned slightly.
Actually, he wasn¡¯t that confident about this match¡
He cast his gaze towards Feng Shengyang.
Feng Shengyang and his team were warming up as well. In between warming up, he even interacted with his fans in the stands and a simple wave from him ignited the infatuated screams of the girls.
¡°All the best, Young Master Feng! Young Master Feng, you have to win!¡±
¡°Young Master Feng, you¡¯re the best! We will support you forever!¡±
The girls on Yin Shaojie¡¯s side were also shouting at him, but he didn¡¯t acknowledge them at all. They were all instantly downcast, and some of the girls even looked enviously over at Feng Shengyang¡¯s side.
Even though they knew that Young Master Jie didn¡¯t care about such things, every girl hoped that her male idol would respond to them. They would be satisfied by anything, even if it were just a smile.readics on our ReadReadNovelFull.live
Then, they saw Mu Xiaoxiao walk over to Yin Shaojie.
It was only then that Yin Shaojie looked up and looked at Mu Xiaoxiao, his eyes lighting up with a smile.
This scene made the girls in the stadium extremely envious.
Who didn¡¯t want to be someone¡¯s special person?
It was especially so for a perfect person such as Young Master Jie. To be the only person in his eyes was every girl¡¯s dream.
However, the only person in his eyes right now was Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao balled her hands into fists as she encouraged Yin Shaojie and Song Shijun. ¡°All the best to you two! Put in effort!¡±

Yin Shaojie smiled and pulled her over. In a tyrannical voice, he said, ¡°It¡¯s enough for you to support me. You don¡¯t have to do it for him.¡±
¡°Hey! You can¡¯t do that!¡± Song Shijun expressed his grievance.
Mu Xiaoxiao said amodatingly, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll only give you my support. As for Shijun¡ let¡¯s get Qiqing to give him support!¡±
¡°That will do too¡¡± Song Shijun looked around after speaking, but asked, puzzled, ¡°Where is Qiqing? I was counting on her for support, but she¡¯s not around!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, where is Qiqing? She was here a moment ago.¡± Mu Xiaoxiao then realized that Han Qiqing wasn¡¯t by her side.
Song Shijun said unhappily, ¡°How could she do this and disappear right at this critical moment? She¡¯s so disloyal!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°Maybe there¡¯s an emergency. She was here just now. Qiqing is not disloyal.¡±
ording to what she knew of Qiqing, she would not abandon them at such a time.
She looked around again and saw Han Qiqing squeeze in from the side.
¡°I¡¯m back, I¡¯m back!¡±
Han Qiqing was holding arge bag of something as she ran over, panting. ¡°Phew, I¡¯m so tired!¡±
¡°Where did you go? What the heck is inside?¡± Before Mu Xiaoxiao could speak, Song Shijun already beat her to it,ining, even tugging at the thing in Han Qiqing¡¯s hands.
¡°What do you mean by ¡®what the heck?¡¯¡±Han Qiqing rolled her eyes at him and pped his hand away. ¡°It¡¯s not for you!¡±
¡°Did you buy something for me?¡± Upon understanding this, Song Shijun¡¯s attitude changed immediately and he spoke nicely to her. ¡°Okay, okay, okay, I was wrong. What did you buy? Something nice? Hurry up and let me see!¡±
Han Qiqing ced therge bag onto the chair beside them before taking out the item.
¡°Here, this is for you!¡± She handed it to Song Shijun.
Song Shijun took it and inspected it. ¡°What is this?¡±
Han Qiqing said exasperatedly, ¡°It¡¯s a wrist guard for ying basketball! You don¡¯t even know that?¡±
¡°Why would I need this?¡± Song Shijun looked disappointed. He thought she had bought something nice.
Han Qiqing looked at him as she said, ¡°Are you an idiot! It¡¯s to protect your wrist! And I bought the best one too! The person who sold it said that it can help you score shots.¡±
Song Shijun pretended to sigh and look at her helplessly as he said, ¡°Han Qiqing, you¡¯re the idiotic one. Did you really believe what they said? You¡¯re really too easy to trick.¡±
¡°Are you going to wear it or not?¡± Han Qiqing was done talking nonsense with him.
Song Shijun coughed and said, ¡°Yes, yes, yes, of course I¡¯ll wear it! It¡¯s true, wearing a wrist guard will be safer since the match is going to be intense.¡±
¡°What else is in that big bag of yours?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was curious.
Han Qiqing passed another wrist guard to the Student Union boy on their team before opening the bag to show Mu Xiaoxiao. ¡°There¡¯s food and drinks. It¡¯s almost dinnertime, right? I was afraid you¡¯d be hungry. Oh yeah, there¡¯s also some medicine. Some Yunnan Baiyao spray just in case you get injuredter.
Song Shijun rolled his eyes at her. ¡°Are you trying to curse us? Now it¡¯s guaranteed that someone will get hurt.¡±
¡°I said just in case! Do you understand Mandarin? Han Qiqing rolled her eyes back at him.
Song Shijun pointed to the food and said, ¡°Then, who¡¯s going to eat those in the middle of the match?¡±
Han Qiqing harrumphed. ¡°Did I say these were for you? I bought them for Xiaoxiao and I.¡±
Song Shijun was speechless.

Why didn¡¯t you buy the usual popcorn and coke, then?
He kept these words to himself to prevent Han Qiqing from retorting. Anyway, she was the best at retorting against him, so could he just admit defeat?
This time the MC became the referee.
¡°While we wait for thepetitors to warm up, let¡¯s hear who you support! Shout the name of the person you¡¯re supporting. Don¡¯t be shy! Shout it as loud as you can! Let¡¯s hear whether Young Master Feng or Young Master Jie has more supporters! Come on, shout together!¡±
In the next second, the entire stadium¡¯s screams were so deafening they could wake even the dead.
The MC coughed as he dug at his ear. Raising a hand, he motioned for them to stop.
¡°It seems like there are many supporters for both teams and it¡¯s hard to tell who has more. So, let¡¯s start the match and determine the winner through their skills!¡±
The match officially began.
There were many people in the crowd who had seen both Yin Shaojie and Feng Tianqi y basketball before and were aware of how good they were. However, they did not expect Feng Shengyang¡¯s skills to be equal to theirs!
¡°Score! Young Master Feng is so cool! He¡¯s so d*mn cool!¡±
¡°All the best, Young Master Feng! Young Master Feng, you have to win!¡±
Because Feng Tianqi¡¯s team won the number guessing, his team was the one who started with the ball. The brothers were in sync and Feng Shengyang scored the first shot.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t pay this any mind.
This time, it was his turn to start the game. His movements were fluid as he dodged Feng Tianqi¡¯s offense, bounded three steps towards the hoop, and scored!
Feng Shengyang smiled and said ungrudgingly, ¡°Young Master Jie really deserves his reputation and is really skilled, but¡ the match has only just begun!¡±
A three-on-three tested the strategy and coordination of the team so having one skilled member wasn¡¯t as big of an advantage.
Twenty minutester, Yin Shaojie¡¯s team was more than ten points behind.
Han Qiqing was very anxious and grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand. ¡°What should we do? Why do I feel like¡ they might lose?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was extremely worried as well. She fixed her gaze on Yin Shaojie who was standing on the court.
The brothers in Feng Shengyang¡¯s team were not only coordinating wlessly, but the bodyguard was also very skilled at basketball as well. His dribbling and shooting were smooth and anyone could tell he was a pro with one look.Read more chapter at ReadNovelFull
On the contrary, on Yin Shaojie¡¯s team, even though Song Shijun was not bad at basketball, the boy from the Student Union was a little weaker. Even though he looked like he could y basketball well, his morale came down as the bodyguard managed to snatch the ball from him a few times.
For example, the ball in the boy¡¯s hands had just been snatched by Feng Tianqi. Imagining how Feng Tianqi was going to make a shot coolly, the boy gritted his teeth and rushed forward, looking as if he had sworn that he would snatch the ball back, even if it cost him his life.
They crashed into each other heavily and the boy fell to the ground. He cried out in pain as he cradled his knee.
The crowd outside the court gasped.
Feng Tianqi raised his hands to show that it had nothing to do with him.
The MC rushed forward to check and made the call that Feng Tianqi had not broken any rules.
However, this situation put Yin Shaojie at a disadvantage. How were they going to continue the match with one person down? Were they going to admit defeat?
On the second floor of the basketball stadium, by the window.
Ning Ruyan looked down from his height at the situation in the stadium. Turning around, he looked at Jun Zeye and smiled as he said, ¡°Even if this person didn¡¯t get thurt, Yin Shaojie¡¯s team was going to lose. The brothers are too coordinated and wless in their execution.¡±

Jun Zeye remained silent, watching the scene in the stadium.
Ning Ruyan nced at Song Shijun below, smirking as he drawled, ¡°As for Song Shijun, his basketball skills are okay, butpared to the Feng brothers, he¡¯scking.¡±
The current problem was that the coordination of the two Feng brothers illustrated the ssic phrase ¡°greater than the sum of its parts¡±.
Yin Shaojie was actually more skilled. If it was a one-on-one match, he would definitely win.
However, it was a three-on-three match and he had an injured teammate.
In other words, Yin Shaojie¡¯s team was doomed to lose.
Seeing that Jun Zeye wasn¡¯t saying a word, Ning Ruyan smiled as he looked at him and said deliberately, ¡°Zeye, are you not going down to save them? If you go, the result will go without saying.¡±
It was only then that Jun Zeye spoke mildly, ¡°I¡¯m not nning on helping them.¡±
¡°If Yin Shaojie loses, Mu Xiaoxiao will be really sad. Can you bear to watch her be sad?¡± Ning Ruyan tested.
Jun Zeye did not say anything.
It was uncertain if he was showing that this was none of his business or that he was thinking about it.
Ning Ruyan rested both his arms on the railing. Carelessly, he continued, ¡°Furthermore, Yin Shaojie is so proud. He has never lost before, right? With so many people watching, losing will look very bad.¡±
Jun Zeye red at him and said, ¡°Don¡¯t you have things to do? Just go.¡±
¡°I came over specially to eat with you.¡± Ning Ruyan smiled and changed his mind. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go see to my business. Watch on, then, and remember to tell me the results.¡±
With that said, Ning Ruyan walked towards the stairs and left.
Jun Zeye looked away and down at the stadium below.
Meanwhile, in the basketball stadium.
The injured boy was helped up and was now sitting on a chair.
Yin Shaojie arranged for someone to call the school doctor and Han Qiqing¡¯s medicine was being used to on him.
The boy endured the pain as he lowered his head in guilt and said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°President, I¡¯m sorry¡ I was too anxious.¡±
He knew that he was the one who had dragged his President down.
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°It¡¯s alright. Take care of your injury first. If it¡¯s serious, go to the hospital immediately.¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay, I don¡¯t need to go to the hospital.¡± After spraying the pain medicine onto his knee, the boy didn¡¯t feel as much pain as before. He tried to stand but could not hold his weight and fell back onto the chair.
The boy looked depressed as he gazed at Yin Shaojie. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, President.¡±
He knew that he was unable to continue the match anymore.
However, he could not bring himself to say the words.
Yin Shaojie patted his shoulder.
Beside them, Song Shijun looked on anxiously. ¡°Shaojie, what do we do now? We have to get another teammate.¡±
The three of them had been hanging by a thread. Now that they were down one yer, defeat seemed certain.
Song Shijun knew Yin Shaojie very well. Yin Shaojie would never allow himself to lose to them.
Feng Tianqi walked over. After ascertaining that the boy¡¯s injuries were not that serious, he was relieved.
He said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°Don¡¯t say that we bullied you. We¡¯ll give you five minutes to find a new teammate.¡±
Feng Shengyang was drinking water and he walked over with another bottle of water in his hand.
Chapter 1435 - I’m Not Helping You (2)
Chapter 1435: I¡¯m Not Helping You (2)

With a swing of his arm, he threw it towards Feng Tianqi.
Feng Tianqi lifted his gaze and caught the bottle, demonstrating their coordination.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing looked anxiously at Yin Shaojie.
Song Shijun walked a little closer and asked in a whisper, ¡°Who are we going to get?¡±
There were plenty of people who could y basketball, but it was indeed difficult to find anyone who could beat Feng Shengyang and Feng Tianqi.
Furthermore, the bodyguard¡¯s skill was not ordinary. He was just as capable as Song Shijun.
Thus, they had to find a person who could beat either Feng Shengyang or Feng Tianqi so thatbined, they could win.
However, who were they going to look for? Ye Sijue just had to be MIA at this time!
It was the first time Song Shijun wished that Lu Yichen was at school.
If Xiaoxiao pleaded with him, he would definitely help out.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s brow was tight. He was evidently in a spot. Who should he look for?
He had no clue.
It was impossible for them to get a person from within school, unless they asked someone from outside the school.
However, they only had five minutes, which was not enough time to look for anyone.
Also, Yin Shaojie could not allow himself to rely on someone else. Thus, he said reflexively, ¡°We¡¯re not going to look. The two of us will make do!¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Song Shijun was stunned.
Just the two of them?
Wouldn¡¯t that mean they were going to lose?
However, Yin Shaojie only smirked. His dark eyes were sharp as a cheetah¡¯s as he said, ¡°Do you think we¡¯re going to lose? I don¡¯t think so.¡±
His pride did not allow him to admit defeat.
Not even a little.
¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Yin Shaojie drank some water and tossed the bottle aside.
Since he decided to go ahead and fight, he didn¡¯t want to waste any more time to think about other things.
¡°Jie¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao stepped forward and hugged his arm. Even though concern was spread across her little face, she still forced herself to smile. Her sweet smile encouraged him as she said, ¡°All the best!¡±
No matter whether you win or lose, you¡¯re my hero.
Yin Shaojie smiled. He ced hisrge hand behind her head, leaned her face close to him, and pressed his lips to her pink cheek.
¡°Wait for it and cheer for your husband,¡± he said.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°Yeah!¡±
No matter whether he won or lost, she believed he would put in his best effort and that was enough.
Outside the court, the girls who liked Yin Shaojie were fraught with worry. Some of them were even sobbing tearfully.
¡°What now? Young Master Jie seems to be losing! I don¡¯t want to see him lose. I don¡¯t want him to lose!¡±
¡°Young Master Jie can¡¯t be seriously thinking about going two-against-three, right? He can¡¯t be serious! Before that guy was injured they were already more than ten points behind. How can two people win like this¡¡±
The crowd¡¯s worry was not unwarranted.
In a mere ten minutes, ten more points were gained by the other team.
This meant that Yin Shaojie¡¯s team wasgging behind by more than twenty points!
Could they close the twenty-point gap?
It was a long shot!
The spectators could almost determine who the winner of this match was going to be.
Suddenly, the spectator seats rang out with the cries of some girls, some of whom sounded like they were crying.
¡°All the best, Young Master Jie! Young Master Jie, you will win! You won¡¯t lose! I believe in you! I believe you won¡¯t lose!¡±
¡°Young Master Jie, you¡¯re the best! All the best! All the best!¡±
¡°Young Master Jie, we will support you forever! We will support you no matter whether you win or lose!¡±
The crowd could not help but be moved by this.
There were still twenty minutes left in thepetition and there were twenty points between them.

Was there any chance to turn the tide?
The people who thought it was possible were few and far between. Even an outsider could tell that there was almost no chance of victory.
Nevertheless, Yin Shaojie seemed to be unaware of this. His movements were as quick as ever, neatly bypassing the bodyguard and Feng Tianqi as he made a three-pointer jump shot. It went in!
¡°Nice one!¡± Song Shijun called out in encouragement of his teammate.
They closed the point difference by two.
However, there was still a difference of twenty-two points.
Song Shijun was panting a little. The back of his shirt was soaked thoroughly and his sweat dripped from the hem of his shirt.
In a moment of carelessness, Song Shijun¡¯s foot slipped and he mmed down onto the ground.
The match was paused.
¡°Shijun! How are you? Are you okay?¡± Han Qiqing dashed over quickly and knelt beside Song Shijun, staring at him in concern.
Song Shijun furrowed his brow as he rubbed his bottom. ¡°It hurts¡¡±
¡°Where? I¡¯ll help you massage it,¡± Han Qiqing said.
¡°Here.¡± Song Shijun pointed to his bottom.
Han Qiqing was speechless.
Song Shijun continued to look pained as he urged, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to help me massage? Hurry up!¡±
Han Qiqing stared at him. She really wanted to punch him.
However, she could not bear to do it.
¡°Can you stop fooling around?¡± Han Qiqing rolled her eyes at him as she reached out to help him up.
Song Shijun smiled as he said, ¡°I was trying to lighten the mood. I feel hurt that we¡¯re losing so badly¡¡±
At least this gave them an opportunity to pause and catch their breath and reset their morale.
¡°Help me over to sit down. I feel like drinking water,¡± he said.
Han Qiqing helped him over to a chair. Mu Xiaoxiao handed him the water and asked concernly, ¡°Shijun, are you really okay?¡±
Song Shijun waved his hand and said, ¡°I¡¯m totally okay. I¡¯ll be fine after resting for a while.¡±
He even shouted across to Feng Tianqi, ¡°Give me two minutes to rest. That¡¯s not a problem, right?¡±
Feng Tianqi was a reasonable person. He answered, ¡°No problem!¡±
Their team also took a break, drinking water and resting.
Right now, it was clear who the winners and losers were. It was only a matter of time.
Yin Shaojie walked over as well.
Mu Xiaoxiao immediately held out a towel and wiped off his sweat. She even opened a bottle of water and held it out to him as she said, ¡°You¡¯re sweating a lot.¡±
It seemed like this was the first time she had seen him sweat so much. His entire shirt was almost soaked through as though it had been taken out of the water.
Yin Shaojie took the water and drank it. He looked at her, appreciating how she was taking care of him.
Mu Xiaoxiao saw that he was silent and knew that he was feeling upset.
She hesitated. She did not know what she should say tofort him.
Were they going to lose?
Upon thinking about it she felt upset as well.
Actually, she wasn¡¯t someone that cared that much about winning and losing. However, she knew that Yin Shaojie cared a lot as he was someone who had never been defeated.
The two minutes passed by quickly.
Song Shijun alleviated some of his pain and prepared to go into the match again.
¡°Alright, let¡¯s continue!¡±
He stood up and walked to Yin Shaojie.
The two good friends looked at each other as they did a high-five.
Song Shijun could not help butin, ¡°Ye Sijue just had to be MIA right now. When hees back, I¡¯ll definitely get him topensate for my psychological trauma.¡±
If Ye Sijue were here, they would definitely not lose.
Just then, a tall figure walked over to them and stood behind Yin Shaojie.
Song Shijun noticed him and opened his mouth to speak.
Chapter 1437 - I’m Not Helping You (4)
Chapter 1437: I¡¯m Not Helping You (4)

¡°I can help you,¡± a cool voice rang out.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head. Upon ascertaining who the person was, she looked surprised. ¡°Jun Zeye? Really? Are you really willing to help?¡±
That was wonderful!
Jun Zeye had previously beaten Feng Tianqi. If he joined the team, Yin Shaojie¡¯s team would definitely be able to turn the tide around!
Yin Shaojie frowned. He turned and met Jun Zeye¡¯s gaze.
Before he could speak, Jun Zeye added, ¡°I¡¯m not trying to help you. I¡¯m trying to help Xiaoxiao.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was afraid that Yin Shaojie would reject him and hurriedly grasped his arm and squished it hard. In a low voice she whispered into his ear, ¡°Just let him help, would you? He¡¯s really pro and beat Feng Tianqist time. He¡¯ll definitely win the match for you.¡±
She was really afraid that Yin Shaojie would refused stubbornly at this point.
Yin Shaojie looked at her and turned his gaze towards Jun Zeye¡¯s face.
The two of them looked at each other.
Yin Shaojie only smiled and replied, ¡°Sure, I don¡¯t think I have any reason to reject you, right?¡±
Jun Zeye went into the restroom to change.
This time, it was really a three-on-three!
Feng Shengyang frowned and said to Feng Shengyang, ¡°Brother, this guy is really pro. I lost to him thest time. This is going to be hard.¡±
¡°Yeah, got it.¡± Feng Shengyang looked to the three people opposite him.
There was a twenty-point difference between them. Would the other team really be able to catch up with an additional member?
Jun Zeye emerged after changing and joined up with Yin Shaojie and Song Shijun.
Song Shijun raised a fist and took a step forward. ¡°All the best!¡±
Yin Shaojie and Jun Zeye exchanged a nce.
The two of the held out their hands at the same time and the three of them bumped fists.
¡°All the best!¡±
Han Qiqing and Mu Xiaoxiao were cheering them on excitedly as well.
Yin Shaojie, Jun Zeye, and Song Shijun walked to the middle of the court together.
This scene was so cool that it was hard to open one¡¯s eyes to look.
There were many girls in the bleachers who fell in love with the scene. Every one of them wrung their hands, infatuated, shouting about how handsome they were. There were even people who screamed encouragement deafeningly, cheering for Yin Shaojie¡¯s team.
The match continued.
Feng Shengyang started the match. Just like with every other y, he charged ahead with the ball before passing it to Feng Shengyang. They had such good rapport that theynded shots every single time.
This time, the bodyguard was blocking Yin Shaojie as usual.
Feng Tianqi smiled arrogantly and announced, ¡°Jun Zeye, I¡¯m going to beat you this time!¡±
He dribbled the ball, the wind under his feet.
However, a ck shadow neared him without a noise and before he could realize what was happening, the ck shadow swept past him like the wind.
The ball in Feng Tianqi¡¯s hands had been snatched away!
¡°F*ck!¡± He shouted angrily. He looked up and noticed it was Jun Zeye.
Feng Shengyang had actually been looking out for Jun Zeye, but had not expected him to be so swift in his movements. How had he moved without making any sound?
Feng Shengyang did not want to lose any points when his team started the match with the ball and thus hurried up to block him.
However, before he could get near to Jun Zeye, Jun Zeye swung his arm and passed the ball with no warning.
To Yin Shaojie!
It was uncertain when Yin Shaojie managed to lose the bodyguard. He caught the ball sessfully, bounded three steps towards the hoop, and scored beautifully!
Feng Shengyang was shocked by their great coordination.
Did Jun Zeye even make eye contact with him?
He hadn¡¯t!
He did not see Jun Zeye make eye contact with Yin Shaojie. How did Yin Shaojie know that he was going to pass the ball?
He thought that kind of rapport only existed between him and Tianqi.
Chapter 1438 - Perfect Chemistry (1)
Chapter 1438: Perfect Chemistry (1)
Feng Shengyang had no time to be caught in his thoughts because it was Yin Shaojie¡¯s team who was starting the ball this time.
Feng Tianqi was obviously unwilling to ept this. They snatched the ball earlier. He must get it back.
With a quick nce, Yin Shaojie then passed the ball to Jun Zeye.
Seeing that it was Jun Zeye, Feng Tianqi immediately lunged at him, using almost his entire body to block the ball, guarding Jun Zeye so that he couldn¡¯t pass the ball out.
But Jun Zeye charged toward the basket as thought he had no intention of passing.
Feng Tianqi wanted to catch up to him, but Jun Zeye was too fast.
¡°Stop him! Stop him!¡± he shouted.
The bodyguard rushed over but just as he approached Jun Zeye, he saw the ball passing by him.
The ball was passed to Yin Shaojie!
There was a change in Feng Tianqi¡¯s expression. Shit!
¡°Are you an idiot! I told you to stop him, did you forget?¡±
The bodyguard quickly returned to defend and Feng Shengyang also came to surround Yin Shaojie.
However, Yin Shaojie smirked and shouted, ¡°Shijun!¡±
He raised his hand as though he were going to pass the ball to Song Shijun.
Feng Shengyang¡¯s stepped toward that direction instinctively.
However, it was a feint. Yin Shaojie did not pass the ball but shot it instead. The ball flew to the basket in a high arc.
It was not a short distance from the basket. Moreover, a bodyguard was blocking Yin Shaojie, so he had no choice but to throw the ball at this angle.
But there was no way that would go in!
No!
Feng Tianqi was stunned.
Jun Zeye had gone under the basket without him knowing.
He watched as Jun Zeye jumped up and put the basketball through the hoop.
Another basket!
The audiences were stunned for a moment and then what followed were cheers of awe.
¡°Beautiful!¡±
¡°That was absolutely beautiful! Their coordination was perfect! Too beautiful!¡±
¡°Go Young Master Jie! Go Young Master Jie! Go Young Master Jie!¡±
The girls who liked Yin Shaojie seemed as though they have found hope as they shouted in unison.
If they were to continue at this rate, they might be able to turn the tide.
In contrast, the look on Feng Tianqi¡¯s face didn¡¯t seem very happy. The situation seemed to have turned against them.
The chemistry that the two brothers were so proud of paled inparison to the chemistry between Yin Shaojie and Jun Zeye.
Feng Tianqi couldn¡¯t believe it. How could they be so well coordinated?
This made no sense!
Feng Tianqi looked anxiously at Feng Shengyang. ¡°Brother, what should we do now? If this continues¡¡±
They would really make aeback.
It seemed that his earlier premonition was right. With Jun Zeye joining, the situation was really not looking good for them as Yin Shaojie had be like a tiger who had grown wings.
What was most surprising was how well they were able to coordinate with each other. People not in the know might be led to think that they were friends who had known each other for many years.
Feng Shengyang¡¯s graceful smile was starting to look grave.
¡°Now, we have to guard our respective zones. As long as we don¡¯t let them grab any points, they won¡¯t be able to close the gap. Stay calm. Don¡¯t be impulsive. Don¡¯t just think about snatching the ball, do you hear me?¡±
Knowing his brother well, Feng Shengyang warned him in advance.
¡°That¡¯s if you don¡¯t want to lose.¡±
Feng Tianqi said resolutely, ¡°Of course I don¡¯t want to lose! I must beat Jun Zeye!¡±
¡°Great, and I want to win Yin Shaojie.¡± Feng Shengyang turned to look at Yin Shaojie.
It was their turn to start the ball.
Yin Shaojie was still being guarded by the bodyguard.
His eyebrows rose in irritation. With his long legs he faked a move, slipped away from the bodyguard, and rushed towards Feng Tianqi.
Chapter 1439 - Perfect Chemistry (2)
Chapter 1439: Perfect Chemistry (2)
¡°Feng Tianqi, dare to take me on one-on-one?¡± he provoked him.
Feng Tianqi was going to reply ¡°yes¡±, but as soon as his mouth opened, he paused and remembered Feng Shengyang¡¯s warnings.
He snorted, ¡°Who cares!¡±
Yin Shaojie smirked, his long body stood in front and blocked him. ¡°Yeah, well just try to pass me first. Come on!¡±
F*ck!
Seeing the confident look on Yin Shaojie¡¯s face, Feng Tianqi was very annoyed.
You think I can¡¯t pass you?
I¡¯ll show you!
Feng Tianqi pulled several fake moves but failed to fool Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie scoffed, ¡°You suck!¡±
¡°What did you say?¡± Feng Tianqi red at him. However, as Feng Tianqi¡¯s teammate was dribbling, Yin Shaojie stole the ball in midair as he was bouncing it.
¡°Thanks!¡± Yin Shaojie crossed him, dribbled the ball away, not forgetting to thank him.
Feng Tianqi was mad as he chased after him.
¡°Yin Shaojie! Didn¡¯t you say one-on-one? Come on! If you don¡¯t dare, you¡¯re a coward!¡±
Yin Shaojie turned a deaf ear as he ran straight towards the basket.
Feng Shengyang frowned, running up himself to block Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie stepped back and gave him a little smile.
Then, standing behind the three-point line, someone raised their hand as Yin Shaojie shot the ball.
The girls in the audience held their breath.
Would it go in from so far?
It went in!
Yin Shaojie seemed to have known that it would go in judging by his pleased look.
Song Shijun came over and gave him a high-five, ¡°Nice! Beautiful!¡±
The three-pointer was perfect!
Song Shijun went to start the ball.
Seeing Yin Shaojie and Jun Zeye score again and again, he couldn¡¯t restrain himself anymore as if something had been triggered within him.
Any guy would want to show his skills in a fierce battle like this.
Feng Shengyang was guarding Song Shijun with a smile on his face, looking as though he were trying to block his pass.
Song Shijun looked at him. Though he was obviously smiling, you could never know his intentions.
You think I¡¯ll let you steal the ball?
You wish!
¡°Shijun!¡± Yin Shaojie shouted.
Song Shijun made a fake move. Feng Shengyang pretended to be tricked by him and he chased after him.
Yin Shaojie and Jun Zeye were stopped by two other guys and were not able to catch up.
Song Shijun thought for a moment and decided to shoot the ball himself.
He¡¯d give it a shot!
Seeing his wrists lifting up, Feng Shengyang smirked, as though he had expected it. He leaned forward and jumped.
Pah!
The ball was swatted away!
Song Shijun¡¯s face looked grim. He secretly cursed. F*ck! He got blocked!
He must not be the one to give up the point.
Song Shijun stared at Feng Shengyang stubbornly, not allowing him to go anywhere. Even if he made hard contact with him, he was not going to give him any chance to get close to the basket.
Come on, shoot if you can!
I¡¯ll be the one to block you this time!
Song Shijun was waiting for Feng Shengyang to jump up and shoot, so he could give him a taste of his own medicine.
Feng Shengyang had good judgment. He would only do things if there was a high sess rate.
So instead of shooting, he chose to pass.
With his phantom-like footwork, coupled with fake moves, he was about to slip away from Song Shijun.
Song Shijun had already seen Feng Shengyang¡¯s passing motion, but his foot was moving in the other direction.
He gritted his teeth and with a hard push of his feet he lunged forward.
Bang¡ª¡ª
Because there was no time to coordinate his movements properly, he hit the ball with his face instead of his head as he had intended.
The ball flew off the court.
Song Shijun covered his face as he squatted down.

There was a gasp from the audience. Damned, it hurt just watching!
It was only basketball. Why was he ying as though his life depended on it?
¡°Shijun!¡± Yin Shaojie had a grave expression as he ran over.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing ran over from outside the court as well, worried as they stood around Song Shijun.
¡°Shijun, are you okay? How is it? Did it hit your nose? Is there any bleeding?¡±
Song Shijun covered his nose, groaning softly.
Han Qiqing wanted to pull his hand away as she said anxiously, ¡°Let us have a look!¡±
¡°Wait, wait wait¡¡± Song Shijun said in a feeble voice. After a while, he finally looked up at the three of them. Jun Zeye stood behind and watched.
Song Shijun sighed. ¡°Phew, it¡¯s lucky that my nose didn¡¯t be crooked.¡±
Han Qiqing red at him. ¡°Take your hand away and let me see!¡±
¡°That¡¯s not a good idea, is it?¡± Song Shijunughed bitterly.
¡°Let go!¡± Han Qiqing said seriously.
Song Shijun didn¡¯t know what to do with her, so he removed his hand. Then immediately, two lines of blood dribbled from his nose.
¡°You¡¯re bleeding!¡± Han Qiqing eximed, reaching out to help him wipe.
Song Shijun shrunk back. ¡°No no, I¡¯ll just wipe it myself. You don¡¯t have to dirty yourself.¡±
Han Qiqing rolled her eyes at him and said, ¡°Why do you care about getting dirty at this point? I don¡¯t know what to say. Why would you use your face to block the ball? Do you know how to y? Is your nose alright?¡±
She was criticizing him at first but showed concern at the end.
Song Shijun shook his head. ¡°I told you, I¡¯m fine as long as my nose isn¡¯t crooked. It just bled a little. Maybe it¡¯s a graze. It hurts just now, but it¡¯s feeling better now.¡±
Seeing that he was about to get up, Han Qiqing helped him up. ¡°Come here, I¡¯ll help you stop the blood first.¡±
Han Qiqing frowned as she looked at the blood stains under his nose.
Although everyone had experienced their share of nosebleeds, it was still a bit shocking to see how much he was bleeding.
Feng Shengyang didn¡¯t like how it turned out either. He went up to show concern. ¡°Do you want to pause for a few minutes and let him deal with it first?¡±
Hearing that, as he was being pulled away by Han Qiqing, Song Shijun shouted, ¡°It¡¯ll be quick! I¡¯ll be done quickly!¡±
Han Qiqing couldn¡¯t help but wanted to punch him as she red at him and said, ¡°Stop talking! Stop it from bleeding before you start talking.¡±
Song Shijun obediently went to the courtside and sit down with her.
Fortunately, Han Qiqing had bought a bunch of medicine which really came in handy.
Han Qiqing stopped the bleeding as she continued to roast him. ¡°You¡¯re really an idiot. Other people y with their hands but you y with your face?¡±
¡°Ah ah, it hurts!¡± Song Shijun cried out suddenly.
Han Qiqing immediately became gentler. ¡°Does it hurt? Didn¡¯t you just say that it doesn¡¯t hurt anymore? Bear with it. It might have been a cut. We¡¯ll need to disinfect it.¡±
¡°Just be gentle,¡± Song Shijun said, looking at her. He was only pretending to be in pain because letting her roast him was too embarrassing.
Then, in the middle of the basketball court.
After Yin Shaojie looked at Jun Zeye, he said to Feng Shengyang, ¡°No need to wait. Let¡¯s continue.¡±
Feng Tianqi red at him. ¡°You want to y two on three? Aren¡¯t you being too arrogant?¡±
Yin Shaojie showed him an unbridled smile. ¡°What? Scared?¡±
¡°F*ck! Who¡¯s scared? Come on! When you lose, don¡¯t cry and regret it!¡± Feng Tianqi couldn¡¯t take the taunting.
Feng Shengyang didn¡¯t object, but the way that Yin Shaojie and Jun Zeye stood together gave people an indescribable sense of fear.
Chapter 1441 - Perfect Chemistry (4)
Chapter 1441: Perfect Chemistry (4)
They made a truly strong force. He had a sense of foreboding that even if they were to y two on three, their side might not necessarily have an advantage.
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t want to waste time because he was getting used to the game now.
The game continued.
Without Song Shijun, they had to deal with the three of them. It was harder than before.
Therefore, they adjusted their tactics The two yed while keeping apart and they used long passes instead.
Seeing Yin Shaojie score, Song Shijun, who was still anxious to catch up as soon as possible, no longer felt anxious to join anymore. He stuffed something up his nose to stop the bleeding and told Han Qiqing to make a drink for him. She put a straw in the drink and held it for him as he drank through the straw.
Seeing that both of them could score, it was hard to stop them.
He didn¡¯t keep his cool and heed Feng Shengyang¡¯s instructions.
Ten minutester. The game was tied.
There were still five minutes till the end of the game.
¡°Go Young Master Jie! Go get¡¯ em! Go go!¡±
¡°Go Young Master Feng! Go go go!¡±
The girls on the tform also cheered on for their favorite idols.
Who would win in thest few minutes?
Would Yin Shaojiee back or would Feng Shengyang¡¯s team regain control and win?
Everyone was so nervous.
In just a few minutes, every minute and second became so pressing.
After Yin Shaojie scored with a long-distance shot. The score was catching up. The fans on his side screamed. Their deafening screams were almost going to overturn the roof.
Comeback! They muste back from this!
Thest minute.
Feng Shengyang¡¯s team was still staying strong and they yed even fiercer as the game progressed.
Both sides were panting. Sweat dropped with every step that they took.
Ten seconds left!
Just when everyone thought Yin Shaojie would shoot, he turned his wrist and passed the ball to Jun Zeye.
Jun Zeye jumped up and dunked!
The whistle sounded and the game was over.
¡°We won! Young Master Jie won! They had aeback! That was too cool!¡± The girls on the stage were all crazy. Even Feng Shengyang¡¯s fans were subdued as they watched the game.
In the center of the court.
Yin Shaojie and Jun Zeye looked at each other. They both had a deep, clear understanding with each other.
There was something in the air that seemed to slid through the cracks of time.
Back into the past.
It was a memory that was hidden deep inside.
¡°You have no father, no mother. You are a child no one wants! Whoeveres near you will be unlucky! You bring bad luck!¡±
A little boy was surrounded by five or six little boys as they scolded him.
The little boy looked very angry, his little hand hanging by the side of his leg turned into a fist. But he endured it.
¡°What? Wanna fight? You wanna fight? Come on!¡± A boy who was just a little bigger mocked and pushed him.
Just then, a Bentley drove by. Yin Shaojie, who was just out of school, was sitting in the car, watching.
¡°Ah Ze?¡± He quickly asked the chauffeur to drive over.
As soon as he stopped, the little Yin Shaojie got out of the car and rushed over.
¡°What are you trying to do with him?¡± he shouted. Although he was still young, there was an imposing upper ss air about him.
He ran over and stood in front of Ah Ze.
Chapter 1442 - The Three When They Were Young (1)
Chapter 1442: The Three When They Were Young (1)
A child¡¯s fight.
Yin Shaojie and Ah Ze won the victory, but they were both wounded.
¡°Listen to me, don¡¯t let me see you scolding Ah Ze in the future. I¡¯ll beat you up every time, do you hear me!¡± the young Yin Shaojie said with a powerful voice, warning them as they escaped.
He turned back and looked at Ah Ze.
The two looked at each other¡¯s wounds. Then they both smiled.
Ah Ze looked at him and said, ¡°Yin Shaojie, you were really good.¡±
There were five or six people against them so it was all thanks to Yin Shaojie that they won.
Yin Shaojie said, tilting up his chin, ¡°I¡¯ve practiced karate!¡±
¡°Cool, I want to practice too.¡± Ah Ze¡¯s tone was a little envious.
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°If you want to practice, then practice. Would you like to practice with me?¡±
¡°Is that okay?¡± Ah Ze was surprised. But his expression droped immediately. ¡°But¡ Grandma wouldn¡¯t let me¡¡±
Yin Shaojie walked over to him, put his arm over his shoulders in a brotherly manner and said, ¡°You don¡¯t need to let her know. When youe to my house to y, I¡¯ll get the teacher toe over. Then we can practice together, right?¡±
Ah Ze looked a little hesitant.
Yin Shaojie looked down at him and found that his clothes had been torn, and he thought for a moment, ¡°Let¡¯s go back to my house first!¡±
So he pulled Ah Ze into the car.
Back at Yin residence, the two jumped out of the car. Yin Shaojie told the chauffeur, ¡°Don¡¯t tell others that I got into a fight, alright?¡±
That little handsome face was already imposing.
The chauffeur nodded. ¡°Yes, Young Master.¡±
Yin Shaojie took Ah Ze and entered the house through the garage door, avoiding the helpers.
The two kids snuck back to Yin Shaojie¡¯s room.
However, there was someone in the room.
¡°Ah¡ªhow did you two get hurt?¡± Xiaoxiao cried out loudly as she looked at both of them in shock.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s little brows frowned. He hurried over and covered her little mouth.
¡°Don¡¯t shout so loud! Do you want Papa and Mama to know?¡± His pretty eyes red at her and he gestured for Ah Ze to close the door.
Xiaoxiao was struggling, feeling ufortable as he covered her mouth.
Ah Ze walked over, looked at Xiaoxiao, and said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°Let go, you¡¯re making her ufortable.¡±
Yin Shaojie let go of her.
Xiaoxiao gasped for awhile. She red at Yin Shaojie, then looked to his injured face and asked worriedly, ¡°Did you fight with someone? Why did you fight? Fighting is bad.¡±
Yin Shaojie said, ¡°You¡¯re naggy. Oh yeah, what are you doing in my room?¡±
Xiaoxiao ttened her mouth and said, ¡°I was waiting for you¡¡±
Yin Shaojie nced at the door and gave her a task, saying, ¡°Help us guard the door. Don¡¯t let anyone in. If Papa or Mama returns, help us hide, got it?¡±
With that said, he beckoned to Ah Ze and the two entered the bathroom together.
¡°Hey, what are you two doing¡¡± Xiaoxiao was going to follow them.
Yin Shaojie pointed at the door and said, ¡°Guard it! Don¡¯t follow!¡±
Xiaoxiao murmured. She listened and didn¡¯t follow him.
After a while, there was the sound of water from the bathroom.
She approached curiously, putting her ears up against the door.
She knocked on the door and asked, ¡°Are you showering?¡±
Chapter 1443 - The Three When They Were Young (2)
Chapter 1443: The Three When They Were Young (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Yes, you want toe in and shower together?¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s teasing voice was heard from inside.
Xiaoxiao quickly refused and said embarrassedly, ¡°No!¡±
He had no sense of shame. She was a girl. How could she take a shower with them?
She just sat on the floor, leaning against the bathroom door.
After a while.
She was very bored outside, butughter was heard every now and then from inside the bathroom. It sounded like they were having fun inside.
Xiaoxiao was unhappy and she knocked on the door again.
¡°Are you done showering? Why are you taking so long?¡±
It wouldn¡¯t take her such a long time to take even an aromatic bath. Just what were they doing inside?
What was with them? Were they having so much fun that they couldn¡¯t even hear her?
Xiaoxiao was bing impatient. She stood up and grabbed the handle of the bathroom door.
She had an urge to rush in and see what they were doing.
She turned the handle but hesitated again.
They were boys. Wouldn¡¯t they be nude in the shower?
If she were to go in, wouldn¡¯t she see their¡
Xiaoxiao¡¯s cheek flushed red. There were two little voices fighting inside her, one urging her to go in and the other discouraging her from doing so.
Argh!
Should she open the door or not¡
After some time of hesitation, the handle to the door turned and someone pulled open the door from within the bathroom.
¡°Ah¡ª¡ª¡± Xiaoxiao staggered and almost fell to the ground. Luckily, there was a wall in front that stopped her from falling.
Phew, how fortunate.
She patted her chest, rattled.
¡°Xiaoxiao, were you peeking?¡± Yin Shaojie stared at her, smiling mischievously.
Xiaoxiao blushed, Realizing that she was leaning against him, she quickly stood back up, steadied herself, and stepped back.
¡°N-no! I wasn¡¯t peeking!¡±
¡°You obviously were.¡±
¡°No!¡±
¡°You were.¡±
¡°No!¡±
The two started to quarrel again as usual.
Ah Ze stood behind Yin Shaojie and watched them awkwardly. He wanted to mediate the quarrel, but he didn¡¯t know how to go about it.
¡°Stop arguing. Xiaoxiao wouldn¡¯t peek on us.¡±
¡°Ah Ze is still the most reasonable. Jie only cares about bullying me!¡± said Xiaoxiao.
¡°When did I do that?¡± It was now Yin Shaojie¡¯s turn to be on the defensive.
¡°You obviously were!¡± Xiaoxiao snorted.
¡°No.¡±
¡°You did!¡±
¡°I told you no.¡± Yin Shaojie went up in a motion to try and cover that little face of hers that wouldn¡¯t stop talking.
¡°Ah!¡± Xiaoxiao realized what he was trying to do, and she hid behind Ah Ze. And she looked at Yin Shaojiecently, ¡°You did! You did!¡±
Yin Shaojie didn¡¯t know what to do with her. He pointed at her and said, ¡°Stop grabbing Ah Ze. His bathrobe is about to drop. For a girl, you really don¡¯t know shame.¡±
Xiaoxiao took a look. Indeed, she was pulling on Ah Ze and his shoulders were exposed.
¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± She let go of her hand, feeling embarrassed.
Ah Ze smiled. ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡±
Yin Shaojie pulled Ah Ze over. ¡°Ignore her. Let¡¯s go change.¡±
Then, as if he knew Xiaoxiao would follow them, he looked at her and said, ¡°Don¡¯t follow us! We are going to change. Why are you following us?¡±
Standing where she was, Xiaoxiao stomped her foot.
¡°Fine, I won¡¯t follow¡¡±

Before ten minutes were up, Ah Ze came out of the changing room first, wearing Yin Shaojie¡¯s clothes.
When she saw Ah Ze wearing Yin Shaojie¡¯s clothes, he looked so good, as though he were a young master.
¡°Ah Ze, you look really good!¡± Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly.
Ah Ze was a little embarrassed. ¡°Thanks.¡±
He remembered something, felt inside his pocket of the clothes he changed out of, and took something out.
¡°Ah Ze? What are you doing?¡± Xiaoxiao looked at him curiously.
Ah Ze smiled, walked up to her, extending his hand in front of her, and in his palm was a candy.
¡°Here, I¡¯ll give you a candy. Don¡¯t be unhappy, okay?¡±
Xiaoxiao smiled and took the candy happily. ¡°I¡¯m not unhappy.¡±
She opened the wrapper and put the candy in her mouth. The sweet taste diffused in her mouth and she squinted happily.
¡°It¡¯s sweet. Very nice! Thank you, Ah Ze! You¡¯re the best!¡±
The two kids smiled at each other.
Having changed his clothes, Yin Shaojie came out and saw them.
¡°What are you guys talking about?¡± He went over and asked.
Xiaoxiao was startled. She hid the candy wrapper behind her, shook her head and said, ¡°Nothing!¡±
Seeing her suspicious look, he approached her, and pointed at her. ¡°You¡¯re secretly eating candy, aren¡¯t you?¡±
¡°No!¡± Xiaoxiao quickly denied.
¡°No?¡± Yin Shaojie poked the bulging area on her face with his finger. ¡°What is this if not candy?¡±
Realizing that, Xiaoxiao quickly shifted the candy to the center of her mouth.
¡°No!¡± She was stubborn.
Yin Shaojie snorted. ¡°You¡¯re going to have amedical examination next month. Keep on eating till your teeth decay, then the doctor will forbid you from eating candies for a whole year.¡±
Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao looked like she was going to cry as she truthfully revealed the candy wrapper in her hand.
¡°Okay, I admit that I was secretly eating. I will brush my teeth after eating, alright?¡±
¡°Hmph, you better do as you say!¡±
Ah Ze looked sorry and said to her, ¡°Xiaoxiao I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t know you couldn¡¯t eat candy¡¡±
Yin Shaojie exined, ¡°It¡¯s not that she can¡¯t eat candy, but she¡¯s not supposed to eat it for some time. It¡¯s because she always eats candy and doesn¡¯t brush her teeth.¡±
Her head drooping, Xiaoxiao muttered, ¡°You were the one who gave me those candies¡¡±
She kept the candies that he gave her previously because she wanted to enjoy them slowly.
Hearing her muttering, he looked at her and said, ¡°So you¡¯re ming me? Okay, next time, I¡¯ll go to your room and take away all the candies.¡±
¡°No!¡± Xiaoxiao was scared. She quickly went and held his arm, acting like a child as she said, ¡°Jie, don¡¯t take away my candies! I¡¯ll be good and brush my teeth. I won¡¯t let myself get tooth decay, alright?¡±
Seeing how close the two of them were, Ah Ze looked on with a bit of envy.
Yin Shaojie knew everything about Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao would also remember things about Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie told Xiaoxiao to go down and grab the medicine box secretly. He was very cautious, afraid that the smell in his room would be noticed, so the three of them went and hid in the small attic.
Xiaoxiao clumsily helped him to get the medicine, and Yin Shaojie seemed displeased.
¡°You¡¯re really dumb!¡±
Chapter 1445 - The Three When They Were Young (4)

Xiaoxiao looked at him angrily. ¡°You do it then! I¡¯ll help Ah Ze!¡±
With that said, she turned to Ah Ze and helped him to apply the medicine on his neck.
Yin Shaojie stared at her back irritably. ¡°Hey, turn back.¡±
Xiaoxiao ignored him and focused on helping Ah Ze to apply the medicine. She even leaned in and blew on the applied area for Ah Zeh. When she blew on it, it felt ticklish and he couldn¡¯t help but twitch.
¡°Ah Ze, does it hurt?¡± Xiaoxiao looked at him in concern.
Ah Ze shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s not painful anymore.¡±
¡°You¡¯re lying. Your skin was grazed, how can it not hurt? That guy was too much. He scratched you with his nails? So heavy-handed. What a bad guy!¡± Xiaoxiao was upset for him.
Ah Ze smiled. Watching her care for him warmed his heart.
Xiaoxiao asked curiously, ¡°Oh yeah, why did you get into a fight? Tell me.¡±
Ah Ze¡¯s expression was a little gloomy when she mentioned it.
But he couldn¡¯t ignore her, so he had toe out with the truth.
Hearing his reply, Xiaoxiao was panting with rage. Her eyes widened as she said angrily, ¡°They went too far! How could they say that about you! They went too far!¡±
Seeing Ah Ze not responding, she also became upset.
She turned to ask Yin Shaojie, ¡°Jie, did you win the fight?¡±
¡°Of course! Isn¡¯t that obvious? Would I lose?¡± Yin Shaojie answered in a proud expression.
Xiaoxiao was pleased.
She took Ah Ze¡¯s hand and smiled sweetly to him. ¡°Ah Ze, it¡¯s okay. My Papa and Mama will be your Papa and Mama from now on, alright?¡±
Yin Shaojie looked at her and roasted her, ¡°Don¡¯t you feel ashamed? Saying that means that you want to marry Ah Ze. It¡¯s when you two are married that your Papa and Mama be his Papa and Mama, don¡¯t you know?¡±
His tone seemed jealous.
Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. She had not thought of this. She was only trying to console Ah Ze.
Yin Shaojie¡¯sment reminded her of something.
She looked at Ah Ze and said, ¡°Is that the only way? Well okay then, Ah Ze, let¡¯s get married in the future, so my Papa and Mama will be your Papa and Mama, okay?¡±
Ah Ze was moved as he looked at her.
They looked at each other and smiled.
In contrast, Yin Shaojie¡¯s face was gloomy.
Xiaoxiao¡¯s innocent face looked so sweet.
At the time, she had no clue what marriage actually meant. It was because Yin Shaojie said that marriage was necessary that she said it to console Ah Ze.
Yin Shaojie forced her to turn around, red at her and said, ¡°Apply the medicine for me, idiot!¡±
¡°Can¡¯t you apply it yourself¡¡±
¡°I want you to help me, okay?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to.¡±
¡°Say that again?¡±
¡°Humph!¡±
After applying the medicine, the sky had darkened and the stars filled the night sky.
The three children were lying in a row on the goose feather carpet, looking at the stars through the skylight of the small attic.
Suddenly, a shooting star streaked through the night sky.
¡°Whoa! The shooting star is so beautiful! Look, Jie! Ah Ze, did you see that?¡± Xiaoxiao eximed.
Yin Shaojie turned to look at her. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to make a wish?¡±
¡°Oh yeah, I forgot to make a wish!¡± Xiaoxiao smiled, her hands holding Ah Ze and Yin Shaojie¡¯s hands. She closed her eyes and said, ¡°I want to make a wish that we can stay together forever, okay?¡±
Yin Shaojie roasted her, ¡°Dummy, if you say it out loud it won¡¯t work.¡±

In the center of the basketball stadium.
Feng Tianqi was so tired that heid t and motionless on the ground as he grumbled, ¡°F*ck, I lost to him again!¡±
However, he also hadn¡¯t enjoyed ying basketball in a long time.
Although he was not happy with the loss, he epted his defeat wholeheartedly.
Meanwhile, Feng Shengyang¡¯s fans looked gloomy. Some even cried out but they still remembered to console him.
¡°Young Master Feng, it¡¯s okay. It¡¯s just a loss. You already yed really well. It was really great.¡±
¡°No matter what the oue is, Young Master Feng, we will always support you!¡±
¡°We¡¯ll support Young Master Feng! We always love you!¡±
Han Qiqing and Mu Xiaoxiao jumped about happily at the courtside. ¡°We won! We won!¡±
There was nothing more exciting than aeback.
The two rushed into the center of the court.
Song Shijun pulled the bloody tissue out from his nose, ¡°Hey! Wait for me!¡±
Han Qiqing nced back at him. ¡°Hurry up! You¡¯re clearly fine, yet you¡¯re still pretending.¡±
¡°How am I pretending? I lost so much blood. And it hurts, okay?¡± Initially, he wanted to join the game again, but he never expected that Yin Shaojie and Jun Zeye would be enough to handle them.
Han Qiqing walked forward and found Mu Xiaoxiao standing still.
She followed the direction of her gaze and saw Yin Shaojie and Jun Zeye facing each other.
¡°What are they doing? What¡¯s happening?¡±
Jun Zeye looked away, flicked his wet ck hair, and without saying a word, walked to the lounge.
He happened to pass by Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him and said with a smile, ¡°Jun Zeye, thanks for your help!¡±
If not for him, Yin Shaojie would have lost.
Jun Zeye nced at her and continued walking without giving her a response.
Suddenly, there was a strange roaring sound.
Everyone on the court was perplexed.
What was happening?
Suddenly, there was a huge shadow projected on the ss window on the second floor.
¡°It sounds like¡¡± Someone made a guess.
The next second. Bang bang bang! It was the sound of guns. Therge ss window broke and fell down.
¡°Ah!¡± The students were shocked and they scuttled in panic.
What happened?
Yin Shaojie and others looked up at the broken ss window on the second floor.
Through the ssless window frame, they could faintly make out the helicopter outside.
Why was there a helicopter?
Yin Shaojie felt a strange unease and subconsciously looked towards Xiaoxiao.
But Xiaoxiao was gone!
¡°Where¡¯s Xiaoxiao!¡±
Hearing that, Jun Zeye turned back and realized that Xiaoxiao was gone. Yin Shaojie looked stunned.
Yin Shaojie and Jun Zeye looked at each other.
The two ran out almost at the same time.
A helicopter appeared inexplicably in school. Could its target be Xiaoxiao?
Sure enough, as soon as they ran out, Xiaoxiao was seen being abducted by a tall and big-sized stranger.The person covered her mouth so that she couldn¡¯t shout.
The helicopter stopped in mid-air and didn¡¯t descend.
Mu Xiaoxiao was tied onto the hoisting rope and was taken up into the helicopter.
The man then climbed up with a ropedder.
Both Yin Shaojie and Jun Zeye tried to give chase.
From the helicopter, KO poked his head out. He smiled slyly as he looked at the two of them on the ground and he ordered the pilot, ¡°Go up!¡±
Before the guy on the ropedder had climbed into the helicopter, the helicopter began flying up.
Chapter 1447 - He Wouldn’t Kill Her (2)
Chapter 1447: He Wouldn¡¯t Kill Her (2)
Sh*t!
Yin Shaojie and Jun Zeye looked at each other while running.
Jun Zeye just happened to catch sight of a security guard patrol car in front of Yin Shaojie. ¡°A car!¡±
Hearing that, Yin Shaojie changed his course as he ran over, jumped onto the battery-powered car, started it, and dashed in the direction of the helicopter.
Jun Zeye followed behind him.
But instead of getting in the car, he grabbed the roof of the car, flipped up, and got on the roof.
Yin Shaojie stepped on the elerator.
The battery-powered car approached quickly. Jun Zeye, who was standing on the roof of the car, stood up. His ck, cold eyes stared at the hanging ropedder.
Seeing that the helicopter was about to ascend, it would be hard to catch up.
Jun Zeye leapt forward and sessfully caught the ropedder.
The helicopter ascended and flew away.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s face was ashen as he stared at KO on the helicopter as though he wanted to kill him.
KO made a ¡°bye bye¡± gesture to him as the helicopter ascended.
Others in the basketball stadium also ran out one after another. No one had seen a situation like this before and they were all shocked.
Were they making some Hollywood film?
And Jun Zeye, still hanging on the ropedder from the helicopter, started to climb up. The people below were so worried for him that they broke out in a cold sweat but the way that he climbed the ropedder seemed very skillful.
Jun Zeye caught up with the tall man from earlier.
The man sneered at him, clutching the rope tightly with both hands. He raised a foot to stomp on Jun Zeye¡¯s face.
Jun Zeye¡¯s eyes sharpened and he avoided it quickly.
While the other guy missed him, Jun Zeye grabbed th man¡¯s foot and pulled down hard.
The man had no choice but to use the other foot to kick him down.
Jun Zeye suddenly let go of him, turned over to the other side of the ropedder, climbed up quickly, and reached the level of the man¡¯s waist.
He delivered an iron fist into the other guy¡¯s stomach.
The man¡¯s face turned pale, his grip loosened, and he fell.
¡°Ahh!¡± The ssmates watching below saw the man falling and screamed in fright.
The helicopter was getting higher and higher. If he fell down from that height, the probability of death was almost 100%.
Jun Zeye continued to climb up.
But it would not go so easily as KO poked out his head and smiled scornfully at him. ¡°It¡¯s you again! Let¡¯s see if you are really so hard to kill!¡±
KO took out his gun and aimed at Jun Zeye. ¡°Do you want me to hit your hand or¡ your head? Your choice.¡±
Before Jun Zeye could have the chance to answer, he fired.
Jun Zeye swiftly avoided the bullets, but it caused him to shake on the ropedder for a while. It looked like he would not be able to hold on any longer.
¡°Aw, I missed.¡± KO grinned and aimed again.
Jun Zeye frowned. He quickly stabilized his swaying body. His strong arm held onto the rope tightly and his arm muscles were so well-defined that they could be clearly seen.
KO aimed at him once again and said, ¡°This time, I¡¯ll shoot your head¡¡±
Without even finishing his sentence, he pulled the trigger.
On the helicopter, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s both hands were tied. Hearing the gunshot, she was struck with fear.
Chapter 1448 - He Won’t Kill Her (3)
Chapter 1448: He Won¡¯t Kill Her (3)
She quickly mmed her body into KO, trying to disrupt his aim.
However, KO grabbed her and pulled her close.
¡°Do you really want to see how he turns into mince meat? Come see!¡±
¡°No!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao shouted in a panic.
However, it was toote to stop him. The bullet flew and this time, it hit the part of the rope Jun Zeye was holding onto.
There was no other choice. If Jun Zeye did not let go, he would be shot.
However, if he let go, he would drop down and fall to his death.
Jun Zeye let go.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened in terror. ¡°NO!¡±
He would die if he fell down!
Jun Zeye fell for less than a second before his hand shot out to grab onto the bottom rung of the ropedder.
The rope burn from falling caused his hand to hurt badly.
However, he did not let go. Gritting his teeth, he began to climb up again.
KO tutted in admiration. ¡°Not dead yet? You¡¯re really tough!¡±
However, no matter how tough he was, was he tougher than a bullet?
He did not believe that anyone¡¯s life could withstand a bullet.
It was obvious that KO was really enjoying the game he was ying and wanted to continue. However, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly begged, ¡°No! Please, no! Let him go!¡±
¡°Why should I let him go?¡± KO grinned at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. ¡°I don¡¯t know why you kidnapped me, but you want me alive, right? If you kill him, I¡¯ll¡ I¡¯ll jump down from here!¡±
KO narrowed his eyes and looked at Jun Zeye below. He looked a little puzzled as he said, ¡°I seem to recall that he isn¡¯t your boyfriend, right? You¡¯re willing to die for him? How are you rted to him?¡±
¡°He¡¯s my friend!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao replied.
KOughed as though he had heard a joke. ¡°Friends? You¡¯re willing to die for a friend? Do you expect me to believe you?¡±
¡°You can believe whatever you want!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao red at him. Even though she was still terrified of KO, she was only concerned about saving Jun Zeye right now.
Jun Zeye was only climbing the ropedder because he wanted to save her, right?
How could she watch him fall to his death?
Unexpectedly, KO nodded and said, ¡°Okay, I believe you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him in surprise. He was smiling strangely and she thought he might be up to no good.
¡°Let¡¯s y a game, okay?¡± KO smiled as she said, ¡°I have to fire this gun anyway. If I don¡¯t, I¡¯ll feel weird. But I¡¯ll let you choose: Should I shoot him¡ or you?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao inhaled sharply, her face a little pale.
¡°You better hurry up and choose or I¡¯ll make the decision for you.¡± KO grinned.
Was he ying with her or really letting her choose? Mu Xiaoxiao could not tell.
Her thoughts were in a mess.
What should she do?
Her lips trembled slightly.
¡°1, 2, 3¡¡± KO started to count maliciously.
¡°I¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was practically white as she looked at him. He wouldn¡¯t kill her, right? He wouldn¡¯t take such great pains to capture her just to shoot her, right?
However, this person was a madman. Who knew what he would do?
Gritting her teeth, Mu Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and decided to gamble. ¡°Choose me!¡±

She closed her eyes and felt her other senses sharpen.
She could feel the cold barrel of the gun KO was pressing against her forehead.
She was so scared her temples started to sweat.
Would he really open fire?
¡°Bang!¡± A sound rang out beside her ear.
It was his voice mimicking a gunshot, not a real gunshot.
Right afterwards, he guffawed mockingly. ¡°Look at your face all green with fright! Not bad, you¡¯re loyal. That¡¯s a Mu right there.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao could feel the chill only in her bones earlier. Now that she rxed suddenly, she felt the chill pass through her entire body.
It looked like she had won the gamble. He wouldn¡¯t kill her.
¡°Can¡ Can you let him go? You only wanted to capture me anyway, and you already have me. I¡¯ll go with you obediently, okay?¡± She was already in his hands anyway, so resistance was not an option.
Of course, she would escape if the opportunity arose.
KO pursed his lips and said, ¡°But he¡¯s a hindrance and wants to save you, so how can I let him go?¡±
¡°Also¡¡± He sneered coldly as he pointed at his bandaged leg, ¡°He was the one who inflicted this injury upon me! You want me to let him go? Do you think I¡¯ll let him go?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned and recalled Jun Zeye¡¯s injury from earlier.
Could that really have been¡
¡°You were the one who injured him?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right!¡± KO chuckled. ¡°He¡¯s quite skilled and has strong instincts. If not, he would have been dead long ago.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Why do you seem to be praising him? And with such admiration in your tone, too.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a while before continuing to persuade, ¡°Think about it. This is the city. There are so many people here. What if he were to fall andnd on many innocent people? That would be bad on your part!¡±
KO looked at her as though he was thinking over this problem.
¡°That¡¯s right¡ But I really feel like seeing who¡¯ll get hit! Don¡¯t you think that¡¯s quite interesting?¡±
¡°¡ No!¡±
This person was a madman, a real madman!
KO smiled broadly. ¡°Do you want to bet the gender of the person who gets hit? That¡¯s definitely interesting, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
How was this interesting at all!
She regretted what she said earlier.
¡°Come on,e on!¡± KO looked excited, as though he was really going to do this.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly steeled her expression and said, ¡°That¡¯s not interesting! That¡¯s not interesting at all! In fact, it¡¯s boring! Super boring, okay! Only the most boring person in the world would make such a bet!¡±
KO looked at her and asked, ¡°Really?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously. ¡°Really!¡±
¡°What do you think is interesting, then?¡± He threw the question back at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned and began to think hard.
¡°I think¡¡±
As the two of them talked, Jun Zeye climbed upwards stealthily¡
¡
Outside the basketball stadium.
The crowd could only watch wide-eyes as the helicopter flew further and further away, disappearing into the horizon.
Everyone exchanged nces, a little stunned.
Feng Tianqi had seen someone capture Xiaoxiao and had wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by Feng Shengyang.
¡°Why did you stop me?¡± Feng Tianqi asked uprehendingly.
¡°It¡¯s dangerous,¡± There was aplicated expression on Feng Shengyang¡¯s face.
Feng Tianqi said anxiously, ¡°But Xiaoxiao is in danger! She must be really scared to encounter such a situation, right? No, I have to go save her!¡±
Chapter 1450 - I’ll Definitely Get Revenge on You (1)
Chapter 1450: I¡¯ll Definitely Get Revenge on You (1)
¡°I know that, obviously!¡± Feng Shengyang seemed evidently frustrated as he yelled at him.
Feng Tianqi was only concerned with Xiaoxiao¡¯s safety and thus did not notice this.
He shook his brother¡¯s hand off.
Feng Shengyang looked towards the helicopter that had already disappeared before looking back at him. In an upset tone, he said, ¡°You want to chase them? Have you grown wings?¡±
Feng Tianqi retorted angrily, ¡°I don¡¯t have wings, but I want to help Xiaoxiao. Can¡¯t I? She¡¯s my friend! How can I watch her get captured by someone? She must be really scared right now!¡±
Feng Shengyang sighed. ¡°I know that you¡¯re worried about her but we have to think of a n.¡±
He looked up and gazed at Yin Shaojie in front, whose face was green.
Feng Tianqi asked hurriedly, ¡°You have a n to save Xiaoxiao? How? Hurry up and tell me!¡±
¡°We¡¯ll talk about it at home.¡± Feng Shengyang tugged at him.
Feng Tianqi could only follow him.
Feng Shengyang looked extremely anxious. He was making calls as he walked, but none of them went through.
His face looked dark as he cursed silently.
It was only then that Feng Tianqi realized his strange expression and asked, ¡°Brother, what¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Feng Shengyang shook his head and looked at the fans who were chasing and surrounding him. Frowning, he said, ¡°Stop following me.¡±
The fans halted in their tracks. They thought that he was upset about losing the match and thus stopped following him.
Upon getting into the nanny van, Feng Shengyang made another call.
However, the call did not go through either and he threw the phone onto the sofa in frustration.
It was rare for Feng Tianqi to see his older brother get upset. He could not help but ask, ¡°Brother, are you also worried about Xiaoxiao?¡±
Feng Shengyang paused before nodding. ¡°Yeah.¡±
However, they were worrying about different things.
Feng Shengyang looked outside the window and sighed wordlessly.
If anything happened to Xiaoxiao this time, he would be at fault.
¡
The Student Union was maintaining order. The students who were injured by falling ss were sent to the hospital.
No one dared to get close to Yin Shaojie. His expression was really scary as though he were Satan from Hell.
Han Qiqing and Song Shijun also paused in their steps before they approached.
¡°Yin¡ Yin Shaojie, what should we do? The person who captured Xiaoxiao was the robber from before, right? That guy is a madman! Oh sh*t, oh sh*t, is Xiaoxiao going to be¡¡± Han Qiqing said anxiously.
Song Shijun tugged at her hand discreetly, signaling for her to stop talking.
He said to Yin Shaojie, ¡°We should call the police first. I¡¯ll tell Dad to mobilize the entire police force in City A to look for her. We¡¯ll find her in no time!¡±
Yin Shaojie just finished a call and put his phone away. His face was dark.
¡°I¡¯ve already called for a helicopter to look for her.¡±
However, KO had already been gone for quite a while. In addition, he was a sly person and they might not even be able to locate him.
The hands hanging at Yin Shaojie¡¯s side balled into fists.
He said, ¡°The only good news is that KO probably won¡¯t hurt Xiaoxiao, but¡ the bad news is, we don¡¯t know what he might do.¡±
It was just like what Qiqing had said. That man was an absolute madman, and there was no way they could reason with him logically.
Thus, no one could guess why he captured Xiaoxiao.
Upon hearing that he wouldn¡¯t hurt Xiaoxiao, Han Qiqing rxed a little.
Chapter 1451 - I’ll Definitely Get Revenge on You (2)
Chapter 1451: I¡¯ll Definitely Get Revenge on You (2)
However, she frowned. ¡°But I remember that that guy seemed to be interested in Xiaoxiao. Could he¡¡±
She did not dare to imagine more!
Upon hearing this, the expression on Yin Shaojie¡¯s face darkened as well.
¡°Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll go home first,¡± he said. Staying here was not a solution either. They had to act immediately.
Han Qiqing and Song Shijun nodded at the same time. ¡°Yeah!¡±
¡
On the helicopter.
While Xiaoxiao distracted KO¡¯s attention, Jun Zeye climbed up to the top of the ropedder.
He hid below the belly of the helicopter, listening for KO¡¯s voice to determine his location.
Every passing second meant losing the best opportunity.
He climbed up quickly. After ascertaining KO¡¯s figure, he jumped up.
¡°Bang bang bang¡ª¡ª¡±
KO opened fire, his reflexes fast.
¡°AH!¡± Xiaoxiao screamed in fright, afraid that Jun Zeye was hit.
¡°Jun Zeye, are you okay?¡± she asked as she saw Jun Zeye and KO wrestle.
The helicopter was notrge and there was only enough room to hold four people.
With the two of them tumbling around, Xiaoxiao hid in the corner, terrified.
Jun Zeye threw a hard punch into KO¡¯s face, and KO¡¯s nose bled.
However, KO onlyughed and stuck his tongue out to lick the blood that flowed. His expression was still that of delight and it was chilling to look at him.
¡°A fight to the death? Sure,e on! Let¡¯s see who¡¯ll push the other down!¡± KO said excitedly.
Upon hearing that, Xiaoxiao¡¯s face turned white.
The helicopter was already high up in the sky. If someone fell from this height, it would mean certain death.Read more chapter at ReadNovelFull
¡°Um¡ Can we all calm down? Let¡¯s discuss this?¡± she tried to persuade KO. They had been chatting quite nicely earlier. Even though KO was a little perverted, she thought she could stillmunicate with him albeit in a unique way.
Anxiously, Xiaoxiao used her gaze to gesture to Jun Zeye to stop antagonizing KO.
Jun Zeye¡¯s eyes frosted over as he kicked KO¡¯s gun out of the helicopter.
KO looked at the open helicopter door and licked his lips suddenly. Looking up at Mu Xiaoxiao, he asked, ¡°Do you think it¡¯ll be a guy or girl who gets hit by the gun?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Was he trying to y a guessing game at this juncture?¡±
This person¡¯s logic was really iprehensible!
Jun Zeye had trained inbat and was thus at an advantage. KO could use his strength against him but had nobat technique.
However, the person flying the ne whipped his hand back and pointed a gun at Mu Xiaoxiao.
Jun Zeye paused. He could only raise his hands and let go of KO.
Mu Xiaoxiao said unhappily to KO, ¡°You¡¯re a cheat!¡±
KO used the back of his hand to wipe the blood from his nose and red. ¡°Did I say I wouldn¡¯t cheat? Don¡¯t forget that you¡¯re still my hostage.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She had never met anyone who yed cheat so righteously.
KO pointed to the arrogantly, ¡°Sit down!¡±
Jun Zeye¡¯s expression was icy as he moved to Xiaoxiao¡¯s side and sat down with her.
KO expressed his satisfaction by nodding his head.
¡°You came to me this time, so don¡¯t me me,¡± he smiled strangely as he said to Jun Zeye.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought of what he had said and was afraid he would do something to Jun Zeye.
¡°W-What did you capture me for?¡±
KOy on the seat like a rich master, took the gun from his subordinate, and pointed it at them.

¡°What did I capture you for? How should I answer¡ I have too many things I want to say.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao could not help but feel anxious and uneasy as he stared at her with a strange gaze.
She did not want to know what he was thinking anymore.
She only wanted to go home.
Yin Shaojie!
Hurry up and save me!
¡
After flying for nearly an hour, the helicopter started to descend in a coastal area with a really tall cliff beside it.
The helicopternded on the side of the cliff. It looked dangerous.
Mu Xiaoxiao nced at the cliff as she got off the helicopter. Trepidation flooded her and she felt like she was going to fall down.
However, KO faced the sea, his expression one of enjoyment.
He said, ¡°We¡¯ll eat dinner first. There¡¯ll be a boat to take us away at night.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao could not help but ask, ¡°Boat? Where are we going?¡±
KO smiled cruelly. ¡°Where do you think?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She did not want to guess. She just wanted to leave this ce!
Mu Xiaoxiao tugged at Jun Zeye¡¯s sleeve in fear and looked up into his eyes.
He was very strong. Would he be able to save her from this ce?
Or would she wait until Yin Shaojie arrived to save her?
However, even if Yin Shaojie were looking for them, he would still need a bit of time to determine their location.
However, KO was going to take her away by boat at night.
Mu Xiaoxiao was afraid. She did not want to be brought away by KO.
She could not help but tug at Jun Zeye¡¯s sleeve again.
Jun Zeye had been observing the environment around them and thus could not pay attention to her. When she tugged at him, he ced hisrge hand over hers and patted it reassuringly.
Mu Xiaoxiao noticed his calm expression. Thinking he had an idea, she ceased to disturb him.
KO brought them into a three-storey high building.
¡°Sit anywhere you like.¡± KO pointed to a sofa and smiled at Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt grossed out by his smile. Even though she did not feel like sitting down, her legs felt ufortable from being on the helicopter for so long and she thus sat down.
There were no traps in the sofa, right?
She was worried for a moment and checked the sofa carefully.
Then, a subordinate took out something, walked towards KO and held it up to him.
KO took the thing and walked towards Mu Xiaoxiao.
Jun Zeye blocked her from him instinctively. Looking into KO¡¯s eyes, he asked coldly, ¡°What do you want?¡±
A few guns were suddenly pointing at his head.
However, Jun Zeye¡¯s expression did not change.
KO patted his chest. ¡°You want to save a damsel in distress? Sure, I¡¯ll give you a chance to do that.¡±
He pulled Mu Xiaoxiao over by force as he said this. Hooking the thing on Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s wrist, he locked it down.
¡°This,¡± KO smiled maliciously.¡±is a mini-bomb! But it¡¯s pretty powerful and can blow a person to bits. If you don¡¯t want anything to happen to her, you better be good and not try anything funny. I won¡¯t kill her, but if you want her dead, I¡¯ll have no choice.¡±
With that said, KO left them and went into the room.
Mu Xiaoxiao was engulfed in fear.
Jun Zeye looked at her but used his peripheral vision to look at the people nearby.
He said in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t be scared. Nothing is going to happen.¡±
Chapter 1453 - I’ll Definitely Get Revenge on You (4)
Chapter 1453: I¡¯ll Definitely Get Revenge on You (4)
Mu Xiaoxiao looked into his eyes.
His eyes, dark as night, could soothe anyone¡¯s heart.
The sun was setting and only itsst glow could be seen on the horizon.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiao lowered her head, cried out, and bent over. She looked really ufortable.
One of the subordinates had no choice but to go up to her. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± he asked.
The boss had said that this girl was very important. She had to be guarded carefully.
¡°My¡ My stomach hurts¡. I want to use the toilet¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao said weakly, her face contorted.
The subordinate hesitated, but could only bring her to the toilet.
¡°Go in here!¡±
After more than ten minutes, the subordinate began to feel suspicious and went to knock on the door.
¡°Hey,e out! Come out, do you hear me!¡±
However, there was no reply or any sound from inside.
The toilet¡¯s location made it impossible for anyone to escape.
Sh*t!
Could¡ something have happened to the girl inside?
The subordinate panicked and knocked on the door forcefully as he called out, ¡°Hey! What are you doing inside? Hurry up and open the door!¡±
Just as he was about to force his way in, the door opened.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked displeased as she looked at him. ¡°What are you shouting for? Don¡¯t you know that girls take a long time in the toilet?¡±
The subordinate was a little stunned by her rebuke.
Nevertheless, it was good that nothing happened to her. If something had happened to this girl, he would not know what to say to his boss.
The subordinate said awkwardly, ¡°Hurry up and sit back down! Don¡¯t think about trying anything funny.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao walked over to Jun Zeye¡¯s side and sat down.
Discreetly, she passed the thing she was hiding in her hand to Jun Zeye.
The two of them avoided eye contact on purpose.
Suddenly, KO walked in. His gaze swept the room as though he had found something and Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart lurched and began to race madly.
KO smiled as he walked over. ¡°A friend just called me. I want you to listen in too.¡±
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao felt relieved.
This meant that he had not noticed anything amiss, right?
KO walked over, sat on the right arm of the one-seater sofa she was on and crossed his legs. Phone in hand, he answered the call.
Meanwhile¡
Feng Shengyang, whose call just went through, looked furious. ¡°You lied to me! This was different from what you agreed! Why did you take Xiaoxiao away? She was your objective from the start, right?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right,¡± KO agreed shamelessly. He smiled as he said, ¡°I really have to thank you for your help this time. If it weren¡¯t for you, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to capture her sessfully.¡±
¡°Let Xiaoxiao go! Don¡¯t you hurt her, you hear?¡± Feng Shengyang spoke with a rare sternness.
KO said, ¡°Rx, I¡¯m not going to hurt her. But¡ I can¡¯t help it if someone else wants to hurt her.¡±
Thest sentence was said on purpose for Jun Zeye.
Feng Shengyang did not know this and thought KO wanted to let someone else hurt Xiaoxiao. Instantly, his blood boiled. ¡°KO! Let me warn you! You¡¯re not allowed to hurt her! If anything happens to her, I¡¯ll get revenge on you!¡±
KO tutted. ncing at Xiaoxiao, he said, touched, ¡°Feng Shengyang, Feng Shengyang, I didn¡¯t know you wer one of her protectors too¡¡±
These words were for Xiaoxiao to hear.
Upon hearing Feng Shengyang¡¯s name, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face paled instantly.
Feng Shengyang¡ knew KO and was working with him?
Chapter 1454 - How Scared She Must Be (1)
Chapter 1454: How Scared She Must Be (1)
Mu Xiaoxiao felt the blood drain out of her.
She could never have imagined that Feng Shengyang was such a person!
Mu Xiaoxiao instantly felt a chill in her heart and her hands balled up into fists.
Jun Zeye looked at her.
Over the phone, Feng Shengyang shouted at KO, ¡°Shut up! Tell me, are you going to let her go?¡±
¡°Of course not,¡± KO disagreed, smiling. He then pretended to remember something and said to Feng Shengyang, ¡°Oh, I forgot to tell you that Xiaoxiao is sitting beside me right now. I think she heard our conversation. You don¡¯t mind, do you?¡±
Feng Shengyang¡¯s face was green. He gritted his teeth and hollered, ¡°KO, I¡¯m telling you that I¡¯ve paid off my debt to you! Remember what I said: If you hurt Xiaoxiao, don¡¯t me me for being heartless!¡±
¡°Oh, oh, don¡¯t be so angry. Since when did I say that I would hurt her? Rx, I¡¯m treating her like a treasure. How can I hurt her?¡± KO seemed a little fearful of Feng Shengyang. If he ever went back to China, he would not have an easy time if Feng Shengyang tripped him up at every corner.
Just then, a subordinate came back with food, and KO used the opportunity to hang up.
Feng Shengyang cursed and threw his phone onto the table.
¡°Brother.¡± A dark voice rang out from beside him.
Feng Shengyang looked up and saw Feng Shengyang¡¯s unhappy face.
In the next second, a punch flew towards him.
Feng Tianqi actually punched him with his fist.
Feng Shengyang¡¯s head was full of thoughts about where KO could have taken Xiaoxiao and why he took Xiaoxiao away. He had no time to put up a defense and thus took a full knuckle from Feng Tianqi.
The corner of his lip bled.
Feng Tianqi looked furious as he howled at him, ¡°How could you do this to Xiaoxiao! I heard everything! You had a part to y in Xiaoxiao being captured, right?¡±
Evidently, he had never imagined that Feng Shengyang would have something to do with this. He looked incredulous.
Ever since he was little he had admired his brother the most.
But today, all his admiration was shattered and disappeared in a puff of smoke!
Feng Tianqi¡¯s anger was not satiated by that single punch. He grabbed Feng Shengyang¡¯s cor and panted furiously, as though he still wanted to punch him.
¡°You¡¯re too much, you¡¯re too much! Do you know what that person is going to do to Xiaoxiao? Have you thought about how scared she is? Why did you do that to Xiaoxiao!¡±
Feng Shengyang¡¯s face sank.
His heart clenched at Feng Tianqi¡¯s ¡°how scared she would be.¡±
That¡¯s right. How scared must she be now?
Feng Shengyang knew all too well that KO was a madman. Even he himself could not guess what KO would do to Xiaoxiao.
He looked towards Feng Tianqi. He was not going to exin how he was responsible for Xiaoxiao¡¯s capture. He could not escape this responsibility but he did not want to escape it either.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll think of a way to save Xiaoxiao¡¡±
Feng Tianqi cast his cor aside as he red at him and said, ¡°I don¡¯t believe you! I¡¯ll think of how to save Xiaoxiao myself!¡±

With that, he went away.
Feng Shengyang wiped the blood from his lip with his finger and threw himself onto the sofa. He looked a little dejected.
He really wanted to save Xiaoxiao too.
However, KO was unpredictable. It was really difficult to find out where he was hiding.
Feng Shengyang closed his eyes and pinched his nose with a finger.
No matter how difficult it was, he had to bring Xiaoxiao back safely.
This was his responsibility.
He could only hope¡
Xiaoxiao, stay safe!
¡
In the condominium.
Yin Shaojie looked frosty as he typed stuff into aputer for some kind of purpose, but he did not say a word.
Han Qiqing and Song Shijun could only stand around and worry, not daring to disturb him.
Yin Shaojie¡¯s icy expression read, ¡°Don¡¯t you daree near me¡±.
Han Qiqing elbowed Song Shijun and asked in a small voice, ¡°What¡¯s going on now? What should we do?¡±
She was about to die from worry.
Song Shijun shrugged. ¡°I don¡¯t know anything either.¡±
He wasn¡¯t telepathic. How could he know what Yin Shaojie was thinking?
Song Shijun sighed. Resting an arm on Han Qiqing¡¯s shoulder, he said, ¡°There¡¯s no use worrying like this. Shaojie must be thinking of how to save Xiaoxiao, so we should y our part too.¡±
No matter what, they had to exhaust all of their options.
Han Qiqing asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you and Yin Shaojie extract the video feed from the street earlier? But there weren¡¯t any leads.¡±
The surveince cameras were pointing to the ground, not the sky. Thus, it could not capture the direction the helicopter was flying towards.
Thus, she was helpless and unable to contribute.
Song Shijun looked at her and said, ¡°Even if you can¡¯t think of how to help, it doesn¡¯t mean that Shaojie can¡¯t. Did you rank his intelligence level on par with your own?¡±
Han Qiqing had not expected him to joke with her in such a situation and red at him.
Song Shijun reassured, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Didn¡¯t Shaojie say? KO would never hurt Xiaoxiao, so we don¡¯t have to worry over that, at least. We just have to find where he¡¯s hiding ASAP.¡±
He would mobilize the entire police force of City A if it meant that they could find Xiaoxiao and bring her back to safety.
Han Qiqing looked towards Yin Shaojie again and sighed. ¡°I wonder how Xiaoxiao is doing¡¡±
The sky outside was pitch ck.
Did they have to wait until the next day to turn up a lead?
What was going to happen to Xiaoxiao if she stayed a night in the madman¡¯spany?
Even though she knew that KO would not hurt Xiaoxiao, he was a madman. He would not hurt her but he could still do despicable things to her!
Just then, it began to rain outside.
Han Qiqing walked to the window and looked out at the rain. It looked as though it were getting heavier and heavier.
The sudden and inexplicable rain made her even more uneasy.
Was it a bad omen?
Xiaoxiao, please let nothing happen to you!
Han Qiqing could not do anything. She could only hold up her hands to pray to the dark night sky, praying to all the gods to protect Xiaoxiao.
Boom!
Suddenly, thunder pped, and an arc of lightning lit up the sky.
¡°Found it!¡± someone shouted suddenly.
Han Qiqing was stunned for a few seconds. When she came to her senses, she realized that the voice came from Yin Shaojie.
Chapter 1456 - How Scared She Must Be (3)
Chapter 1456: How Scared She Must Be (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°F-Found it? Have you found Xiaoxiao?¡± She became excited and pounced forward.
Yin Shaojie had already turned off hisputer. He walked out, his face dark.
Song Shijun was also interrogating if he had found Xiaoxiao.
¡°Are we going to save Xiaoxiao right now? I¡¯ll call my dad now to let him gather-¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need! I have my own people!¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s beautiful face was cold. He looked like the god of death from Hell and emanated iciness from his being.
The rain intensified.
A sports car raced out of the condominium.
¡
Meanwhile.
After dinner, KO was frustrated that the boat had not arrived and went out.
Mu Xiaoxiao wished he had gone sooner.
When the door closed, she shot Jun Zeye a look.
Jun Zeye looked as though he did not see it and ignored herpletely.
What was the matter with him?
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled and felt like he was acting strangely. KO was not here anymore. Was this not the best time to escape?
¡°Jun¡¡±
Just as she was about to call his name, the door opened suddenly. KO stepped back into the room and grinned at Xiaoxiao.
He pointed at the cuffs on her wrist and said, ¡°I forgot to tell you that even if I leave, I¡¯ll be aware of what¡¯s going on.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She was about to rise from the sofa and scoot back as though nothing had happened.
Boom!
A roar of thunder rang out.
She looked outside and said to him, ¡°It looks like it¡¯s going to rain. Are you going to bring an umbre?¡±
KO smiled as he said, ¡°Since it¡¯s going to rain, I don¡¯t have to worry if I don¡¯t go out, right?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She would not have said that if she had known!
Hurry up and get out!
She looked away and acted nonchnt. ¡°Go out if you want, or don¡¯t if you don¡¯t want to. How is that my business?¡±
KO looked at his subordinates and said to them, ¡°Keep an eye on her! If she escapes, you¡¯ll all die!¡±
His tone was cruel and absolute. It made one shudder.
His subordinates answered, ¡°Understood, Boss.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao cast a look at Jun Zeye. Would KO really kill these people if they escaped? That would be too cruel!
As expected, KO was a perverted madman!
KO really left this time, evidently having an urgent matter to take care of.
Pitter patter. The rain outside dashed lines against the window and it looked to be getting heavier and heavier.
After seeming to ascertain that KO had really left, Jun Zeye then turned his gaze to Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face.
The two looked at each other for a while.
Mu Xiaoxiao did not understand what he was trying to signal to her.
What?
Jun Zeye made eyes at the subordinates silently.
Mu Xiaoxiao still could not understand and looked a little stunned.
What?
What am I supposed to do?
After getting another look, Mu Xiaoxiao could only brace herself and stand up. Raising her hand like a student, she said, ¡°Um¡¡±
A subordinate looked at her humorlessly and asked, ¡°Stomach troubles again?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled embarrassedly, ¡°No¡ I just wanted to ask if you can turn on the television.¡±
Jun Zeye was probably trying to tell her to distract the guards, right?
She hoped she was not misunderstanding him.
The subordinate said, ¡°What do you mean, ¡®turn on the television¡¯? The television here doesn¡¯t work.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked dejected. Looking around, she continued the conversation. ¡°Then, is there WiFi here?¡±
The subordinate red at her. ¡°So you want me to give you a phone or iPad so that you can surf the?¡±
Chapter 1457 - How Scared She Must Be (4)
Chapter 1457: How Scared She Must Be (4)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she nodded. ¡°Will you?¡±
The subordinate rolled his eyes at her. ¡°Dream on! Let you go online for help? I¡¯m not dumb!¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Oh right!
Mu Xiaoxiao was dejected. After some pondering, she said again, ¡°It¡¯s alright if I don¡¯t go online, right? You have music downloaded on your phone, right? You can y it for me.¡±
¡°No!¡± The person rejected without hesitation.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. ¡°Then do you y games or something when you¡¯re bored?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t like to y games!¡±
¡°Then what do you like to do when you¡¯re bored?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao noticed that all the subordinates had their attention on her.
¡°Have s*x with women!¡± The subordinate smiled.
His words made the other subordinates roar withughter.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
However, she was the only one who could transfer everyone¡¯s attention to herself.
In the background, Jun Zeye untied their ropes discreetly.
Suddenly, he grabbed the ashtray from the table and threw it urately against the light.
Smash! The light was shattered and the living room went dark in an instant.
¡°Shoot!¡± The subordinates realized something was up immediately.
However, when they came back to their senses, Jun Zeye had already delivered swift blows to all of them, knocking them unconscious.
¡°Go!¡± Jun Zeye turned to pull Mu Xiaoxiao along, only uttering a single word before he escaped the small house with her.
They had only run a few steps before the lookout upstairs noticed them.
¡°Bang! Bang! Bang!¡±
Gunfire rang out from behind them.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a chill run down her spine, afraid that she would be shot blindly.
Luckily, the gunshots stopped after a few seconds.
¡°You f*cking idiot! Why are you shooting! Boss said not to hurt her! Hurry up and run after her! Call Boss! Hurry!¡±
Someone ran out of the house.
The sky was dark as the rain poured. It was getting heavier and heavier, which provided some cover for them.
Mu Xiaoxiao did not dare to turn her head to look as she ran, pulled along by Jun Zeye.
She didn¡¯t know how long she had run but she was tired. However, she did not dare to tell Jun Zeye, but instead gritted her teeth and pressed on.
She could not be captured again. She had to leave this ce!
The sounds of the person chasing them grew softer and softer. They were almost inaudible now, but she still did not dare to rx.
She was so tired from running. She was panting like a fish out of the water and her legs were sore and weak.
Mu Xiaoxiao was not an athlete. If she continued running, her legs were going to die.
She identally tripped on a stone and fell forward, almostnding on the ground.
Jun Zeye¡¯s swift reflexes caught her in time.
¡°Tired?¡± His voice was lower than usual.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused, then shook her head. ¡°No, let¡¯s continue running. We can¡¯t stop.¡±
She did not want to be captured by that madman again. She did not want to board a boat and get taken to an unknown ce.
She wanted to go home.
She wanted to return to Yin Shaojie¡¯s side.
With tears brimming in her eyes, she wiped the rainwater from her face.
Jun Zeye looked around. There were roads on either side, but this was not the time to be walking on the road. They might identally bump into KO. Also, anyone else they met might also pose a danger, for they did not know if they were under KO¡¯smand.
Thus, he brought her into the forest in front of them.
¡°We can walk slower. It¡¯s okay,¡± he said mildly, using his muscr arm to shield her as they walked.
Mu Xiaoxiao was about to nod before she saw something and froze.
¡°Blood¡ Are you hurt?¡±

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. She thought back about how those people had fired at them when they were escaping.
Could he have been shot?
However, Jun Zeye looked indifferent as he said, ¡°No, my previous wound reopened.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao doubted his words. However, even if he were injured right now, going to the hospital was not an option .
¡°What should we do?¡± she asked. The rain was pouring now and they were soaked to the bone. They were unfamiliar with the terrain and did not know where to go either.
Jun Zeye said, ¡°We¡¯ll find shelter from the rain first.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Their main priority was safety. Thus, they did not dare to hide nearby, instead choosing to walk a little further.
Finally, they found what looked like an abandoned factory.
Upon opening the door, a pungent odor assaulted their nose.
Mu Xiaoxiao wrinkled her nose.
Luckily, there was a little room beside it which was slightly cleaner.
A gust of wind blew through the window. Mu Xiaoxiao hugged herself and shivered.
Jun Zeye walked over to close the window. He said to her, ¡°Find somewhere to rest. It¡¯ll get better soon.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao did notprehend. What did he mean by hisst words?
Afterwards, she watched as he walked out of the little room and returned with some wood and some tinder shortly after. He then piled them into a little mound in a systematic manner.
Mu Xiaoxiao stood in the corner, watching him curiously.
Jun Zeye took out something and swiped at the mound a few times.
Some sparks leapt out from the darkness.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. Was he doing magic? She hadn¡¯t seen a lighter earlier!
In the next second, a fire was lit!
Jun Zeye was very experienced. He slowly fed the fire and only allowed her toe close when the wood started to burn.
He even found a piece of cloth and ced it on the ground for her to sit on.
He looked at her wet clothes and paused for a few seconds before saying, ¡°Warm yourself with the fire first and try to dry your clothes.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±
Luckily, it was not going to be like in television dramas where she had to take off her clothes to dry them. That would be too awkward.
He probably considered that it would be inconvenient for her as a girl.
Mu Xiaoxiao was really cold. She hurriedly moved her little, icy hands towards the fire, warming them.
Jun Zeye got up and walked out.
¡°Where are you going?¡± she asked.
It was still raining outside. Why did he go out?
A momentter, she heard him walk outside the window. Then, with a p, something dark was stered onto the ss.
¡°Jun Zeye, is that you?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao asked in a small voice.
¡°Yeah.¡± Jun Zeye was reticent as usual as he continued what he was doing.
After a short while, the window was entirely covered by something ck. It was impossible to see outside now.
After covering both the windows, Jun Zeye then walked back inside.
His clothes were dripping once again.
Jun Zeye closed the unlocked door.
Mu Xiaoxiao pointed to the window as she looked at him and said, ¡°You did this because you¡¯re scared that someone outside might see the light, right?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Jun Zeye did note over to sit down, but walked around in search of something.
What was he looking for?
¡°Didn¡¯t your wound open up? Hurry up ande here. Let¡¯s figure out how to stop the bleeding.¡±
¡°It¡¯s stopped.¡± Jun Zeye had no intention of going over.
Chapter 1459 - You’re Ah Ze (2)
Chapter 1459: You¡¯re Ah Ze (2)
Mu Xiaoxiao did not believe him fully. ¡°Come over and show me.¡±
He had on a ck shirt, so she could not see any traces of blood. If she had not seen the blood on his hands earlier, she would not have noticed that he was bleeding.
Wait!
Could he have been lying to her?
Mu Xiaoxiao waved to him once more. ¡°Come over. Let me see your wound.¡±
¡°There¡¯s nothing to see,¡± Jun Zeye rejected her once more, which made her even more suspicious.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him. With a stern face, she said, ¡°You were hit, right? That¡¯s why you¡¯re not letting me look at it.¡±
¡°No,¡± Jun Zeye answered mildly.
¡°I don¡¯t believe you,¡± Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed. ¡°Come over and let me have a look. I¡¯ll only believe you if I see it with my own eyes. Come over here!¡±
Jun Zeye pursed his lips. Unable to reject her, he walked over.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused before saying, ¡°Take off your shirt. Let me see.¡±
Even though it was weird for a boy to take off his clothes in front of her, this was the only way she could ascertain if he had been shot.
Something seemed to pass over Jun Zeye¡¯s dark and cool eyes. After a few second¡¯s deliberation, he admitted, ¡°Alright. I was shot.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. ¡°You were really shot?¡±
See, she had guessed it!
However, he looked too calm, no?
Why did he sound as indifferent as if he had only said ¡°I ate too much¡±?
Jun Zeye pressed his left arm and said, ¡°It didn¡¯t hit me anywhere important, so it doesn¡¯t matter.¡±
It doesn¡¯t matter?
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him, stunned.
Jun Zeye pursed his lips. ¡°This is only a minor incident to me. It¡¯s not life-threatening, so you don¡¯t have to worry.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was silent.
So he meant getting shot was normal for him?
Oh yeah, wasn¡¯t he also injured the previous time?
Could that have been a gunshot wound as well?
Jun Zeye looked at the tears swimming in her eyes and sighed. He exined again, ¡°I¡¯m really fine. I still have to get you out of here, so I won¡¯t let anything happen to myself.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao observed that there was nothing off about his expression and decided to believe him a little.
Jun Zeye turned his back to her. He seemed to be modifying the things he collected earlier.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at his back silently for a while.
Suddenly, she stood up and walked over.
Jun Zeye had no precaution against her and did not notice her approaching.
Until¡
Without warning, Mu Xiaoxiao lifted his shirt off his back. He froze.
¡°You lied to me!¡± Her voice trembled.
Jun Zeye sighed and turned around, wanting to say something.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at his back to confirm the birthmark again. It looked like a unteral wing.
She was transported back to her childhood.
She had unwittingly found a birthmark on Ah Ze¡¯s back. She had even joked that he must be an angel who fell from the sky and the proof of his angelic roots was in the unteral wing birthmark.
Even after so many years, the memories were as clear as day to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was choking up and her eyes filled with tears.Soon, she could not hold them in and they fell.
¡°Ah Ze¡ You¡¯re Ah Ze! Why did you lie to me and say that you aren¡¯t?¡±
Jun Zeye rearranged his clothes and looked at her meaningfully.
¡°Ah Ze died long ago.¡±
Chapter 1460 - You’re Ah Ze (3)
Chapter 1460: You¡¯re Ah Ze (3)
Mu Xiaoxiao said angrily, ¡°You¡¯re still trying to lie to me right now! This is Ah Ze¡¯s birthmark! I remember this clearly! Don¡¯t tell me that there¡¯s someone else in this world who has the same birthmark in the same ce!¡±
Jun Zeye looked into her eyes and said gravely, ¡°To me, the Ah Ze of before has already died.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao paused. She could vaguely pick up on the emotion in his tone.
The two of them looked at each other. Silence hung in the air.
Suddenly, Jun Zeye¡¯s lips quirked, as though he was unable to get out of this one. ¡°You recognized me after all. I was actually afraid this would happen from the start.¡±
He should have left City A after Xiaoxiao asked him if he was Ah Ze.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked a little aggrieved. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to hang out with me? I thought¡ we were really close in the past. Is it just me who cares about our childhood friendship?¡±
She thought about how she had cried for a long time when she was a kid after learning he had died in a car ident. She had cried for at least a month.
¡°You don¡¯t know how sad I was that time and how many tears I shed for you.¡±
Her tone was indignant.
Jun Zeye looked at her. The distance earlier had dissolved, reced with warmth and feeling.
However, he could never return to being the boy who always smiled gently at her.
¡°Sorry,¡± he apologized.
Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her nose before harrumphing. ¡°Tell me then. What happened that year? Why did you¡ fake your death?¡±
She could notprehend why he had to fake his death. What was he trying to achieve?
Or was the ident that year merely a misunderstanding?
Jun Zeye was silent for a while before he said, ¡°There was really a boy who got into an ident that year. He couldn¡¯t be saved and died. That boy wasn¡¯t me, but the people who wanted to take me away told everyone else that he was me.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao asked, ¡°The people who wanted to take you away? Who are they?¡±
Jun Zeye looked into her eyes. He had no intention of hiding anything else and said frankly, ¡°My parents.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked shocked. ¡°Your parents? Don¡¯t you¡ Aren¡¯t you an orphan? What¡¯s going on?¡±
¡°It¡¯s reallyplicated. I can¡¯t tell you much.¡± Jun Zeye paused, his gaze deep. He then said to her, ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to tell you, but the less you know, the better.¡±
The more he spoke, the more Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s curiosity grew.
However, he seemed serious so she could not continue interrogating him.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°I understand. I won¡¯t question you then.¡±
Jun Zeye noticed her disappointed look and said again, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you in the future when the opportunity arises. Now is not the right time.¡±
¡°Okay!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao smiled at him. It was a goofy smile. ¡°Anyway, it¡¯s just great that you¡¯re alive!¡±
Jun Zeye met her smiling eyes and could not help but reach out to ruffle her hair.
There was someone who was genuinely happy that he was alive.
Mu Xiaoxiao held his hand as she said emotionally, ¡°Ah Ze, I can¡¯t believe that we¡¯re meeting. I¡¯m really, really happy.¡±
It was wonderful that Ah Ze was still alive.
It was absolutely wonderful!
This made her happier than any good news.
She teared up again as she spoke.
Her friend, whom she thought had died, was alive and standing right in front of her.

It was hard to describe the feeling.
Mu Xiaoxiao remembered how he had lied to her and pouted unhappily. She raised a hand to hit him.
However, she remembered he was injured.
Her hand hovered in mid-air.
¡°You actually lied to mest time! I almost believed you. Humph, luckily, I¡¯m smart!¡±
She looked very pleased.
Jun Zeye looked at her and spoke about his confusion. ¡°I also thought that you believed me then. Why were you still suspicious? And how did you suddenly remember my birthmark?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smirked as she said, ¡°Because I¡¯m smart! That day I got a vague impression of something on your back. Afterwards, I remembered your birthmark, so I maintained my suspicions.¡±
She had not imagined that she would get a chance to check it like this.
With the birthmark as evidence, it was hard for him to deny things.
Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed at him. ¡°Would you have continued to deny that you were Ah Ze if I hadn¡¯t found out about your birthmark?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Jun Zeye spoke the truth.
Mu Xiaoxiao red at him. ¡°You¡¯re too much! How can you do this to me?¡±
She felt a little sad.
Had he forgotten their childhood friendship?
Jun Zeye looked down. In a heavy voice, he said, ¡°Sorry.¡±
She could not get angry at the sight of him like this.
Mu Xiaoxiao asked him, ¡°Then¡ did you never think abouting back to look for me all those years? Not even once?¡±
Jun Zeye was silent for a while before nodding. ¡°I did.¡±
¡°Really?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him.
¡°Really.¡±
Upon getting a satisfactory answer, Mu Xiaoxiao was happy.
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled as she said, ¡°That¡¯s what I thought. Why would you just appear by my side out of nowhere and protect me in secret? It¡¯s only because you¡¯re Ah Ze!¡±
Oh yeah, if he had forgotten their childhood friendship, why would he treat her so well?
This meant that he had kept her in his thoughts all these years.
¡°Did you know? The year you died, Papa and Mama didn¡¯t let me go to the hospital to see you onest time. They said you had been cremated. I was so sad I dragged Yin Shaojie to the tree in the backyard to make a grave for you.¡±
Originally, Mu Xiaoxiao had been smiling as she said this, but paused when she reached herst words.
¡°Actually, I was scared¡ that I would forget you.¡±
Jun Zeye did not know this and had not even thought that she would do such a thing for him.
His gaze trembled as he looked at her and said, ¡°Thank you.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled, trying to hide her sorrow.
Ah Ze was back. He was not dead so she did not need to be sad any longer.
She looked at him and smiled as she said, ¡°Ah Ze, you¡¯re not dead, you¡¯re not dead! I¡¯m really, really, really happy. Super, super, super happy¡¡±
She felt like she had to repeat the word ¡°happy¡± in order to express how she was feeling.
Jun Zeye looked at the light in her eyes. There was obvious happiness and joy in her eyes.
He raised a hand and paused. However, he still could not help himself and ruffled her hair.
¡°It was my fault. I should have told you earlier.¡±
If I had known that you would be so happy, I would have told you I was alive sooner.
She did not know this, but the year he met her and Yin Shaojie and yed with them was the most happy memory in his childhood.

The rain poured outside.
As he was talking, Jun Zeye¡¯s expression became severe suddenly, telling Mu Xiaoxiao to keep quiet.
Mu Xiaoxiao immediately kept quiet.
After listening for a moment, Jun Zeye quickly grabbed the prepared wet cloth beside him and extinguished the fire.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. Could it be that KO¡¯s men had caught up to them?
Because the window was closed earlier, the room was dark to the extent that they could not see their own fingers.
Not being able to see caused her to panic, but she didn¡¯t dare to make noise, fearing that someone might really being. What if they found out that they were here?
Just when she was feeling scared, her little hand fell into a warm and broad palm.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s nervousness was immediately calmed.
He led her as they walked slowly to the back door.
Just then, KO¡¯s voice was heard from outside.
¡°Hey! You¡¯re hiding in there, right? Be good ande out. The boat has arrived. Don¡¯t keep me waiting.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao clenched her fists nervously.
But no one replied.
Even if he had realized that they were hiding inside, they still clung onto hope.
KO said arrogantly, ¡°Do you want to test how powerful the bomb on that bracelet is? I¡¯ll give you three seconds. If you don¡¯te out I¡¯ll have to detonate it!¡±
Still there was no reply.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s palm was bing sweaty.
Oh yeah, the bomb was still on her bracelet!
What should she do?
¡°Three¡¡±
KO started counting.
Mu Xiaoxiao shuddered unconsciously. She thought that KO was not kidding this time. He would really kill her.
¡°Two¡¡±
What to do? What to do? What to do!
Mu Xiaoxiao was almost going to cry as a chill went down her spine.
Jun Zeye was clearing away the mess beside the door so that he could open the door quietly.
It was raining heavily outside. The clouds obscured the moonlight. It was dark and there were trees everywhere blocking the light so it was really hard to see clearly.
Being led out of the ce, Mu Xiaoxiao could only feel the cold wind blowing against her face.
¡°Ah Ze¡¡± her voice sounded as though she were crying.
What should she do?
She was going to be blown up!
But why was he so calm about it?
¡°One!¡±
No one came out. Not even a sound was heard from inside and around the abandoned factory.
What they didn¡¯t realize was that the rain outside had drowned out the sound of the back door opening.
KO looked grim. He still had not pressed the button on the remote.
Did he really want to blow up Xiaoxiao?
But he couldn¡¯t bear to do it.
Perhaps, he didn¡¯t dare to do it.
Why catch her if in the end he had to kill her?
He wasn¡¯t afraid to cause anyone trouble but when it came to the Mu family¡
However crazy KO was, he still had his wits about him.
He was not afraid to make use of Feng Shengyang nor sh with Yin Shaojie, but he dared not provoke the ire of the Mus.
So even if he caught Mu Xiaoxiao, he wouldn¡¯t dare to mistreat her. He had a different way of thinkingpared to others. He wanted to win against Mu Xiaoxiao and get to know the Mu family. But since he had no choice but to catch Mu Xiaoxiao, as long as he kept her by his side and didn¡¯t hurt her, there would always be a chance for them to develop a bond right?
However, his counterpart seemed to know what he was thinking.
KO narrowed his eyes. It was the first time someone had read him.

He motioned to hisckey. ¡°Break open the door!¡±
¡°Yes!¡± replied a few of hisckeys, but they looked at each other.
How were they going to break open a metal door?
Just then, the people outside shouted, ¡°Boss! They ran from the back door!¡±
KO cursed, ¡°F*ck! After them! Are you guys idiots? Hurry up and go after them! Remember, make sure to catch the little girl and bring her to me, but don¡¯t harm her, do you hear me! ¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Although that was how they answered, theckeys that were beaten up by Jun Zeye were not feeling so confident.
That punk was so formidable he didn¡¯t seem human. Capturing Mu Xiaoxiao without harming her would be difficult.
However, the boss had issued an order. Who dared to disobey?
Meanwhile.
Jun Zeye held Mu Xiaoxiao as they ran. She thought she was definitely going to die, but after not seeing an explosion, she was perplexed.
¡°Did¡ he trick me? There was no bomb at all?¡±
¡°It¡¯s real,¡± Jun Zeye answered her calmly.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t understand. ¡°But why¡¡±
¡°He doesn¡¯t want to kill you.¡± Jun Zeye had expected this to happen. In order to catch KO, he had gathered lots of information, so he had learned a lot about KO. He knew that KO didn¡¯t want to kill Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, ¡°I know he doesn¡¯t want to kill me, but¡ at this juncture, who knows if he might go crazy.¡±
KO¡¯s sudden change surprised her.
¡°Don¡¯t worry. Even if he were to press the button, the bomb wouldn¡¯t explode.¡± He had already tampered with it earlier.
Mu Xiaoxiao remembered that she had shown him the bracelet earlier. They were not able to unlock it but she didn¡¯t know that he had defused the bomb.
¡°We ran so far, yet he can still find us. This is too strange!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was dispirited.
Jun Zeye muttered irresolutely to himself, and decided to be frank with her. ¡°There is probably a tracker on the bracelet.¡±
He had suspicions about it from the beginning.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. ¡°So that¡¯s why. So, no matter where we go, he can still find us. What can we do?¡±
She didn¡¯t want to be captured by KO again!
Although KO wouldn¡¯t dare to hurt her, she didn¡¯t want to be captured by him.
Jun Zeye said, ¡°Let¡¯s find somewhere with a better signal ande up with a n then.¡±
Somewhere with a better signal?
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him uprehendingly.
There was no time to exin. Jun Zeye pulled her and ran ahead. Their clothes that were almost dried by the fire had be wet again.
Fortunately, they didn¡¯t do what people in television shows did and take off their clothes to dry. So what if their clothes were dry? They would still get wet anyway.
Suddenly, they heard noises of people catching up to them.
Mu Xiaoxiao was sent into a panic. ¡°They are catching up to us!¡±
Jun Zeye whispered as they ran, ¡°I hope they cane quickly¡¡±
Before she knew it, they had already ran up to the top of the cliff.
The view was good and it was obviously the best ce to catch a signal.
However, it was a dead end.
¡°Ah Ze, what now?¡± Mu Xiaoxiao looked around. There was no ce to hide at all.
Chapter 1464 - I’m Really Going to Jump (3)
Chapter 1464: I¡¯m Really Going to Jump (3)

If they were to keep this up, KO¡¯s men would catch up to them soon.
¡°Don¡¯t be scared.¡± Jun Zeye whispered to calm her down.
The only good news was that the rain was letting up.
Within a minute, a beam of light fell upon them
KO had caught up!
¡°Are you still going to run? I told you. This is just a waste of time! This is my turf. Where can you run to?¡± KO smirked as he walked over to them slowly.
Mu Xiaoxiao hated him. She stepped back and red at him. ¡°Don¡¯te over! I¡¯m warning you, don¡¯te over!¡±
KO snorted, ¡°I¡¯m going to go over there. Whatcha gonna do about it?¡±
This was his turf. Who would dare defy him?
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t dare to step back any further. It was a long way down from the cliff face.
It was still raining and the cold wind ripped all the heat from her body. The waves below the cliff mmed against the rocks violently as if telling her that if she fell, her bones would break into smithereens.
Mu Xiaoxiao gulped down her saliva and decided to make a gamble.
She tilted her chin up, making an unyielding expression as she red at KO. ¡°If youe over, I¡¯ll jump!¡±
¡°Jump?¡± KOughed as though he did not believe her.
He was very familiar with this ce and of course he knew how dangerous the cliff was.
However, he didn¡¯t believe she would really dare to jump.
Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s voice was frail as she continued to threaten him. ¡°I¡¯m telling you, I¡¯m really going to jump. I will jump! Don¡¯te over. One more step and I-I¡¯ll jump down! ¡±
¡°Okay.¡± KO nodded and deliberately took a step forward.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
How could this person do that!
Didn¡¯t he not want her to die?
KO thought she was bluffing.
However, he teased her deliberately, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you are going to jump down if I took another step? I have already taken a step or is this step not big enough?¡±
With that said, he took two more steps. Big ones.
¡°How about this? Is this big enough now?¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She felt so stupid. Why would a psychopath care about bluffs?
¡°I¡¯m not jumping!¡± She snorted.
KOughed wickedly, ¡°If you don¡¯t jump, I¡¯ll catch you.¡±
Then, he made a gesture to hisckeys behind him.
Instantly, more than ten of hisckeys rushed towards them.
Mu Xiaoxiao was frightened. They were only trying to catch her. Did they need so many people!
However, what she didn¡¯t know was that this was not meant to deal with her but with Jun Zeye.
Even with more than ten people, they might still not be able to subdue Jun Zeye.
Sure enough, Jun Zeye kicked two people and sent them flying without even releasing Xiaoxiao¡¯s hand. The twockeys fell to the ground, their faces twisting in agony.
Five people surrounded them at the same time.
Jun Zeye was afraid of identally hurting Xiaoxiao and had to let go of her hand, but he still kept her behind him.
He fought the five of them. Each of them were tall and burly. They weren¡¯t too shabby at fighting either. Their rock-like fists were intimidating enough.
Jun Zeye was expressionless and stopped showing them mercy. Those who were beaten down by him were experts. From the look of his moves, they were d that he was not carrying any weapons, otherwise they would have died right then and there.
¡°Boss.¡± A man hurried back to KO¡¯s side, his arm hanging weakly by his side as though it were broken.
Chapter 1465 - I’m Really Going to Jump (4)

KO snorted and cursed, ¡°You guys are useless!¡±
The rest of theckeys were scared. They pulled out their guns. The cold muzzles were pointed at Jun Zeye.
No matter how formidable he was, his skills were nothing in front of guns.
Despite being aimed at by multiple guns, Jun Zeye¡¯s cool countenance still showed no signs of fear.
KO couldn¡¯t help but admire him.
¡°You keep trying to catch me. You¡¯re not a policeman, are you? From how young you look, could it be that you are from the legendary young criminal police team?¡±
He thought that Jun Zeye wouldn¡¯t answer, but Jun Zeye replied coldly, ¡°No.¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t the point of living to make money and enjoy life? Do you know how much my men earn working for me? Hundreds of thousands, millions! And that¡¯s just peanuts!¡± KO tried to convince him, but he was always a good judge of character. From their interactions, he knew that Jun Zeye was not one who could be convinced.
What a pity.
Hearing that, Jun Zeye smirked as though mocking him.
¡°For a person like you who uses people¡¯s lives to earn money, don¡¯t you feel guilty whenever you spend that money?¡±
For drug dealers like KO, their money was soaked in blood.
KO sneered, and his eyes darkened. ¡°Why should I feel guilty? Even if I don¡¯t do this, others will do it. So why can¡¯t I do it? Should I starve to death? For what?¡±
Jun Zeye didn¡¯t want to argue with him about this. His world view was abnormal. There was no need for any discussion.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao retorted at KO, ¡°Do other people¡¯s murders give you the right to murder? That¡¯s no reason to do evil things!¡±
¡°What do you know!¡± KO yelled at her, looking furious.
At this point, he was no longer in the mood for ying games. He wanted to go up and catch Mu Xiaoxiao himself.
However, he only took a step forward.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of bullets were fired at his feet. If KO hadn¡¯t dodged in time, he would have been killed.
¡°Who¡¯s that!¡± KO was ashen-faced.
¡°B-boss!¡± Hisckey tapped his shoulder and pointed at the helicopter in the sky.
KO looked over.
The rain had stopped and the clouds had dissipated, exposing the bright face of the moon. People could be seen on the helicopter.
Could they have been too focused on their fight earlier?
They failed to notice the helicopter appearing!
Mu Xiaoxiao and Jun Zeye also noticed the helicopter and looked up at the same time.
Who was it?
Did theye to save her?
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to have a premonition, smiling as she instinctively stepped forward.
The helicopter approached the edge of the cliff. A rope droped down. Then, a handsome figure slid down from above in a dashing and imposing manner.
¡°Yin Shaojie!¡± Mu Xiaoxiao cried out joyfully.
Even though the moonlight was shining from behind him, she was still able to recognize him from a single look.
Ignoring how drenched she was and how the wind was pushed toward her by the helicopter¡¯s propellers, she ran over quickly.
Yin Shaojie spread opened his arms and embraced her.
In his arms, Mu Xiaoxiao¡¯s little hands wrapped tightly around his back, her head buried in his chest like a cat.
¡°You¡¯re finally here. I¡¯ve been waiting for you to rescue me, you know that?¡± She pouted.
Yin Shaojie kissed her hair and he said in his raspy, maic voice, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±
He hugged her tightly in his arms.

Mu Xiaoxiao smiled mischievously, looked up at his ck, star-like eyes, and said, ¡°I knew you woulde.¡±
Yin Shaojie felt the cold wind blowing and how wet she was. He gave himself some space. Then he took off his jacket, put it on her, buttoned it, and flipped up the cor to prevent wind from blowing into her neck.
¡°Get on the helicopter first,¡± he said.
Mu Xiaoxiao hugged his arm, shook her head and said, ¡°No, I want to stay by your side.¡±
The scene made her a little uneasy.
Was he intending to have a shootout with KO?
What if he got hurt?
Bullets could fly anywhere and hit anyone.
And KO was crazy. Who knew what he would try to do.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered, tugged at his arm, and said, ¡°Oh yeah, send Ah¡ send Jun Zeye up first. He¡¯s injured!¡±
She almost said ¡°Ah Ze¡±, but fortunately she stopped herself in time.
Of course, it was not that she wanted to hide it from Yin Shaojie, but Ah Ze made his life sound so mysterious and dangerous, that she instinctively felt that she should keep it a secret.
Perhaps when an opportunity arose in the future, Ah Ze could tell Yin Shaojie personally since he was also his friend.
Yin Shaojie then turned his attention to Jun Zeye.
Although Jun Zeye didn¡¯t look like he was facing any problem, the excessive blood loss made him appear unwell.
¡°Are you okay?¡± he asked Jun Zeye.
Jun Zeye shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I don¡¯t need to go.¡±
Since he said so, of course Yin Shaojie wouldn¡¯t force him. As a sign of respect, he responded with an approving grunt.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. Was that it?
¡°He¡¯s injured¡ No, he was shot! Hurry up and send him to hospital to take the bullet out!¡±
She was anxious as she looked at Jun Zeye and said, ¡°Ah¡ Jun Zeye! Don¡¯t be embarrassed. Go to the hospital for treatment. What if you don¡¯t make it in time and something happens?¡±
She remembered watching it on television. The bullets should be taken out as soon as possible. What if it caused an infection?
Why did Jun Zeye still seem so calm and unhurried?
One would wonder who was it that actually got shot!
Mu Xiaoxiao was perplexed. She had not seen anyone who got shot acting like that before.
Yin Shaojie rubbed her shoulders tofort her and said mildly, ¡°Since he said he is fine, he¡¯s fine. Don¡¯t worry.¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at both of them, dumbfounded.
He was shot!
Seeing how anxious she was, Yin Shaojie exined briefly, ¡°If it didn¡¯t hit anywhere critical, it won¡¯t be fatal. He¡¯ll be able to hang on.¡±
Jun Zeye naturally had his own reason for not leaving.
¡°But¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao still wanted to say something.
But someone was unhappy now.
KO¡¯s expression was severe as he suddenly shouted even louder, ¡°Hey! You guys think I¡¯m dead? Since you¡¯re here, then stay here, all of you!¡±
Yin Shaojie smirked proudly. ¡°Stay?¡±
He looked around and said provokingly, ¡°This little ce is so backward. Forget it.¡±
KO was furious. With a nce, he signaled to hisckeys.
Theckeys quickly took out their handguns, aimed, and shot at Yin Shaojie, providing cover for KO as he escaped.
They did not carry too many weapons when they came out to capture them.
¡°Get them! Don¡¯t let anyone escape!¡± Yin Shaojie¡¯s gaze was sharp as he gave the order.
The next second, several people jumped down from the helicopter, wearing ck outfits.

A few dark figures were about to give chase but were stopped by a huge explosion not far away.
Jun Zeye saw that it was the small house they had been in earlier.
Shortly, KO was forced back.
Several off-road vehicles chased behind him and a familiar figure stood at the forefront.
KO gritted his teeth and pointed at the man angrily, ¡°Feng Shengyang! How dare you blow up my house!¡±
Indeed, it was Feng Shengyang.
Feng Shengyang sneered, ¡°Since you dared to make use of me, you should have expected this to happen!¡±
Pincered from front to back, KO had no way to run.
He thought that that was all.
However, several more police cars appeared.
¡°KO! You are surrounded. Surrender now!¡±
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes as he stared at Ning Ruyan, who was leading the team.
He looked at Jun Zeye.
So Jun Zeye refused to leave because he was waiting for Ning Ruyan toe?
From the looks of it, it didn¡¯t seem possible to handle KO on their own.
The scene was a bit awkward now that the police were here. After all, Yin Shaojie and Feng Shengyang were both carrying weapons and Feng Shengyang had bombed KO¡¯s house.
However, neither Yin Shaojie nor Feng Shengyang showed signs of rm.
Having been around such circles for so many years, KO had never encountered anything like this before.
Heughed, ¡°This battle order is big! I like it!¡±
Being surrounded by three teams was a rare opportunity.
Eventually, KO was handed over to the police.
Ning Ruyan sent guys to arrest KO and hisckeys. After they were taken to the cars, he walked up to Jun Zeye, frowned, and asked, ¡°How are you? Are you hurt?¡±
¡°Mm.¡± Jun Zeye responded mildly. After seeing KO being taken into the car, he then averted his gaze.
Now that KO was finally caught, he could finally put this worries to rest.
Ning Ruyan patted his shoulder and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The crimes that KOmitted are enough for him to stay in prison for a long time! Our brothers will now be able to rest in peace.¡±
Half a year ago, brothers in their special forces were sent to provide border support. They encountered KO and they all died.
Since then, Jun Zeye had been following KO, trying to catch him.
¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Ning Ruyan motioned for Jun Zeye to get in the car.
Jun Zeye looked back at Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie and nodded to say goodbye before leaving with Ning Ruyan.
¡°Xiaoxiao, are you okay?¡± Feng Shengyang got out of the car and went up to her.
¡°I¡¯m not¡¡± Mu Xiaoxiao was going to answer, but when she remembered that he was KO¡¯s aplice, she immediately looked red at him. ¡°Feng Shengyang, stop putting on an act, alright?¡±
Feng Shengyang looked solemn, ¡°I know, you ought to be angry. But I must exin that at first I didn¡¯t know he wanted to catch you. If I knew I wouldn¡¯t have helped him! I¡. ¡±
Mu Xiaoxiao interrupted him, ¡°Okay, I don¡¯t want to listen. Anyways, you are in cahoots with him. This I know.¡±
Feng Shengyang was stopped. He still wanted to say something but realized that she wasn¡¯t looking so good.
Mu Xiaoxiao was in a mix of emotions and didn¡¯t want to see him. She turned and snuggled into Yin Shaojie¡¯s arms.
¡°Jie, let¡¯s go home.¡±

Yin Shaojie put his arm around her waist, warming her with the heat from his body, and nodded, ¡°Okay.¡±
Helicopternded in an open space and he took her up into the helicopter.
Standing in the same spot, Feng Shengyang watched in silence as the helicopter gradually left.
¡
The helicopter stopped on the roof of the condominium.
It waste.
Han Qiqing and Song Shijun were still there, waiting in the condominium for news from Yin Shaojie.
Song Shijun looked at Han Qiqing, who was listless, and asked, ¡°Qiqing, are you hungry? I¡¯ll get someone to bring you something to eat, okay?¡±
They had been worried about Xiaoxiao. They hadn¡¯t even had dinner yet and it was already past eleven.
Han Qiqing shook her head, indicating that she had no appetite.
Song Shijun sighed. ¡°I know you are worried about Xiaoxiao¡¯s safety, but you have to eat.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to eat.¡± Han Qiqing looked gloomy. Xiaoxiao was taken away by a lunatic and she had no idea how she was doing. How could she have an appetite?
She suddenly looked at Song Shijun and asked worriedly, ¡°Would that lunatic not give Xiaoxiao food? What if Xiaoxiao gets hungry?¡±
Song Shijun was exasperated. ¡°Can you address your own hunger first?¡±
Song Shijun believed in Yin Shaojie. Yin Shaojie would rescue Xiaoxiao no matter how much it took out of him.
Han Qiqing hugged the pillow and turned a deaf ear to his words.
She seemed to be throwing a tantrum at the heavens as she said, ¡°If Xiaoxiao doesn¡¯te back, then I¡¯m not gonna eat! I¡¯ll wait for Xiaoxiao toe back and I¡¯ll check that she is safe before I eat.¡±
Song Shijun didn¡¯t know what to do with her.
¡°If Xiaoxiao is alright, she wouldn¡¯t want you to starve.¡±
Was she silly or what?
Han Qiqing red at him indignantly. ¡°Stop bothering me, okay? You¡¯re annoying! I told you I don¡¯t want to eat. If you want to eat, then go ahead! I don¡¯t want to eat and that¡¯s that!¡±
As minutes passed, she became more and more anxious.
She was really worried about what the lunatic would do to Xiaoxiao. She couldn¡¯t help thinking about it. How could she be at ease and have the appetite to eat when she was thinking of all the scary things that might happen?
Of course, she knew that Song Shijun was doing this for her own good and that she shouldn¡¯t be shouting at him.
But she was really in a bad mood.
Song Shijun looked at her misty eyes, and did not hold it against her for being angry at him.
¡°Okay, okay, okay. If you don¡¯t want to eat, then don¡¯t. Let me see what¡¯s in the fridge. If there¡¯s milk, I¡¯ll get you a bottle of milk, alright?
Song Shijun went to the kitchen and opened the fridge.
Han Qiqing looked down at her empty stomach. She was very hungry but she had no appetite.
Just then, the door opened.
Han Qiqing stood up suddenly. Seeing Mu Xiaoxiao in Yin Shaojie¡¯s arms as they came in, her eyes instantly turned red.
¡°Xiaoxiao!¡± she cried out as she ran over.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t know she was there and looked surprised, ¡°Qiqing?¡±
Han Qiqing wanted to run over to hug her, but Yin Shaojie was like an iron wall obstructing her, so she simply gave up.
¡°Xiaoxiao, are you all right?¡± She asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled. ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m fine. Don¡¯t worry.¡±

Han Qiqing almost did a total check of her body before she could feel at ease. ¡°Good that you¡¯re alright. You had me so worried.¡±
Yin Shaojie frowned and said to her, ¡°She¡¯s drenched. Let her take a shower first.¡±
¡°Oh, oh.¡± Han Qiqing realized that she was blocking the way. She quickly stepped aside to let Yin Shaojie take Xiaoxiao into the bathroom.
Hearing their voices, Song Shijun came walking out.
¡°Is Xiaoxiao all right?¡± He only saw Xiaoxiao from behind.
¡°Yea. She¡¯s alright. She should be fine.¡± Han Qiqing could finally stop worrying. But suddenly everything started to sway.
¡°Hey hey!¡± Song Shijun noticed that she was swaying, and quickly held her. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Don¡¯t be the one who¡¯s going to have a problem now that Xiaoxiao is fine.¡±
Han Qiqing red at him, ¡°You have a problem! Jinx!¡±
Hearing her feeble voice, Song Shijun immediately understood the situation and couldn¡¯t help butugh. ¡°You¡¯re hungry now? Do you have an appetite now?¡±
Thinking about how she had just rejected his offer, to change her tune now would make her lose face.
¡°Uh¡ if you¡¯re really that hungry and want to eat, I can apany you¡¡±
Song Shijun said deliberately, ¡°Actually I don¡¯t feel hungry. I was just thinking that you might be hungry. But if you say that you don¡¯t want to eat, that¡¯s fine. The hunger will go away eventually.¡±
Grr grrr¡ª¡ª
Han Qiqing¡¯s stomach wailed pitifully.
She red at Song Shijun and said unhappily, ¡°Aren¡¯t you hungry? Don¡¯t kid me! You also haven¡¯t had your dinner. How can you not be hungry? You didn¡¯t¡ secretly go to eat, did you?¡±
She couldn¡¯t take it anymore. She was so hungry that she had no energy.
Han Qiqing squatted down, sping her stomach. She couldn¡¯t be bothered about losing face anymore.
¡°I¡¯m so hungry. I want to eat.¡±
Song Shijun nced at the bathroom, and he thought they¡¯d better not act as gooseberries.
So he pulled up Han Qiqing and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go and eat. What do you want to eat?¡±
¡°Anything is fine as long as I can fill my stomach with something,¡± Han Qiqing said in a pitiful tone, looking as though she were starving.
After all, she was a daughter from a wealthy family. When had she ever gone hungry?
Starving was really an agonizing experience!
Song Shijun helped Han Qiqing out of the condominium. Qiqing¡¯s voice could still be heard vaguely.
¡°So hungry, so hungry. I want to eat, I want to eat.¡±
¡°Can you save your energy? If you stopining, you won¡¯t feel that hungry.¡±
The two arrived at the door to the elevator, but the elevator had not yet arrived.
Han Qiqing was silent for a while, and then she couldn¡¯t help it andined, ¡°You lied. When I don¡¯t talk, I still feel hungry¡¡±
Song Shijun was unsure whether tough or to cry.
¡°I told you to eat earlier and you wouldn¡¯t listen.¡±
¡°Oh yeah, didn¡¯t you say there was milk? What about the milk?¡±
¡°Uh¡ I forgot to take it.¡±
They couldn¡¯t go back to the condominium and disturb Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao, could they?
He didn¡¯t dare to.
He only needed to use his toes to figure out what those two were doing in the bathroom¡
¡
In the bathroom.
Yin Shaojie turned on the tap in the bathtub but it would take a few minutes for the bathtub to fill up with water, so he took Mu Xiaoxiao to the shower first.
¡°Rinse yourself with hot water and warm yourself up first,¡± he said. His big hands unbuttoned her jacket and he began to undo her clothes.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned.
