Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the past, he would never have let her be bullied by anyone.
If someone said something that targeted her he would immediately step in to help her.
But now…
Mu Xiaoxiao only felt a stifling coldness inside that could not be expressed.
What if Xichuan Qianling was right? Would their pa.s.sion for each other would fade due to their many fights?
In the past, they were fine because they didn’t have a big quarrel that shook the foundation of their relations.h.i.+p.
But this time was different. Yin Shaojie was really angry to the extent that he talked about breaking up with her.
Mu Xiaoxiao’s nose was sour, her eyes welling with tears. But she held them back, refusing to show Xichuan Qianling how miserable she was.
She looked at Xichuan Qianling.
She wasn’t going to let her have her way!
Actually she wanted to leave and not have to watch this woman acting so conceited. She was afraid that she might get out of control, but she didn’t want to ruin things for Yin Shaojie so she had no choice but to suppress her anger.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and decided to ignore Xichuan Qianling’s words.
She stepped back a little and instinctively went to hold Yin Shaojie’s hand.
But at the thought of how he pulled away her hand just now, she stopped.
As she was hesitating, a st.u.r.dy arm grabbed her shoulders and pulled her into her arms.
Falling into the familiar embrace, Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. She looked up, stumped as she looked at Yin Shaojie’s amazing side profile.
Even though he had put on a disguise, he was still so handsome and unwavering.
The corner of Yin Shaojie’s lips curled up slightly as he said to Xichuan Qianling mildly, “Only both parties in the relations.h.i.+p would understand. Outsiders are not fit to comment.”
Xichuan Qianling’s face stiffened.
Did he mean that she was an outsider?
Although she knew he had a cold personality she thought that she had a chance with him, but never expected he would help the girl like this.
Yin Shaojie’s eyes showed no wavering but only a trace of coldness. He would not stand to watch Xiaoxiao be bullied.
He sighed inwardly.
Even if this mission failed, there was no other way he could go about it…
He said to Xichuan Qianling in a gentlemanly manner, “I’m sorry, I have things to take care of.”
Xichuan Qianling stared at him. Just when she wanted to say something to make him stay, she saw him holding Mu Xiaoxiao’s hand.
Yin Shaojie turned around and walked towards Yuan Yelin.
After all, Yuan Yelin was the host of this banquet. If he wanted to leave, he had to at least let him know.
He took Xiaoxiao’s hand and walked to Yuan Yelin.
Yin Shaojie’s tall frame stood upright as he nodded slightly to him and said, “Mr. Yuan, sorry, I’ve got to go.”
Yuan Yelin looked at the two of them, turned to look at Xichuan Qianling before he turning back again.
“You’re leaving? Didn’t you say you were coming with us to the next event?”
His words showed that he admired Yin Shaojie and wanted to get to know him more.
If this happened to anyone else, they would have been overjoyed and immediately change their minds and decide to stay.
But Yin Shaojie was unmoved.
