Chapter 75: Provoked
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao looked around at the crowd, and there were 20 to 30 people.
She accidentally exchanged glances with a girl and subconsciously stopped for a moment. The girl appeared s.e.xy 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. She laughed and said, “Will you be competing later? How is it played? 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 pa.s.sed 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 glance.
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, she laughed charmingly and said, “I came to accompany 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 clashed with the girl.
Han Yun’er was scornful, but she still smiled pleasantly as if she had only just noticed Mu Xiaoxiao. She laughed and said, “So it is you. I’m sorry for what happened last time. This is what they meant by ‘an exchange of blows leads to friends.h.i.+p,’ 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 the compet.i.tion.
Since Yin Shaojie had brought along a girl, they had decided to make the game more exciting by bringing people along for the compet.i.tion.
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’er laughed 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.
