Chapter 1538: One Lie After Another (9)
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted, glared at him for a minute, but Yin Shaojie seemed totally oblivious to it as his eyes were glued onto his iPad screen while he read the financial news.
“Hey…” Her voice softened.
Yin Shaojie continued as though he hadn’t heard her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was annoyed and aggrieved, but she couldn’t keep on like this. Her eyes wandered with her thoughts.
She lowered her head, grabbed his arm with both hands, snuck beneath, and went into his arms.
Yin Shaojie couldn’t help turning to look to see her fawning, smiling face.
“Meow meow ~Master, don’t ignore me!” She meowed like a cat and rubbed her head against him in a coquettish, ingratiating manner.
Yin Shaojie couldn’t help being amused, the corner of his lips turning up slightly.
But he quickly suppressed it.
“What are you doing?” he looked at her and said.
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled mischievously. She was glad that he stopped ignoring her. It seemed like this was an effective method.
She stretched out her neck to look over at the iPad in his hand, and she said, changing the subject, “What are you reading? Financial news? Do you have to read this now too?”
It was the latest news in global finance and economics. It was all in English.
“I’m just browsing through it,” Yin replied casually.
Mu Xiaoxiao was practically lying in his arms. She glanced at the screen, looked up and said, smiling at him, “Yin Shaojie, did I tell you how handsome you looked just now?”
“Hmm?”
“They say a man is most charming when he is focused at work. I finally understood what that meant.” Mu Xiaoxiao continued to talk sweetly, her eyes were still glimmering as though Yin Shaojie was her idol.
It had to be said that this trick was indeed very useful.
Yin Shaojie couldn’t help but reach out to ruffle her hair. Her hair were as soft as silk and very pleasant to the touch.
His palms were soft, and his heart softened as well.
He still had a hard time ignoring her.
Perhaps she was a spell cast upon him that he could never lift.
He didn’t know what to do with her.
However, Yin Shaojie didn’t want to let her off so easily. She looked very cute in her ingratiating manner.
“That’s all?” He squinted slightly as though he was dissatisfied.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. She thought for a moment, and a smile spread across her face. “Of course not, you don’t know how many handsome guys I saw in America. They come in all shapes and sizes. I thought I would never be moved by another guy again, but now… When I see you, my heart goes ba-dump ba-dump. What should I do? My heart beats differently because of you.”
It was rare for Yin Shaojie to hear such sweet words from her. Though it was quite exaggerated, it was still music to his ears.
Noticing his slight nod, Mu Xiaoxiao was instantly elated, knowing that he had become more sensitive toward her.
She gotta keep it up!
“Yin Shaojie,” she called out his name, her slender arms reached out and hooked around his neck. She stared at him, her eyes bright, as she smiled, and said “Do you know… what I want to do now? ”
As she said that, she even batted her eyes cutely in a mysterious suspense.
“What do you want to do?” Yin Shaojie asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao had awaited his reply. She smiled with eyes turning into crescents. She pulled herself closer to him. Her lips puckered and kissed his.
Yin Shaojie seemed surprised for a moment, and his black eyes met with hers.
