Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
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 Sat.u.r.day?” Lu Yichen stopped probing into the matter. Sometimes, her feelings would show clearly in her expression. With one glance 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 plan, 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 pet.i.te 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 hollowly laughed 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 plastic bag, he confirmed that it was a store from nearby.
In truth, it wasn’t that Mu Xiaoxiao was shrewd. She happened to pa.s.s 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 play with it for a while. After that, I went to buy the food.”
Wow, this story is flawless. 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 regained composure 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 pa.s.s 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 placed 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.
