âBack to the topic, why were you looking for her just now?â Yin Shaojie pointed at him, indicating that he was not going to forget the incident so easily.
Nimo was unsure whether to laugh or cry. âI was⦠afraid that youâd get jealous, so I wanted to talk to her without you knowing.â
âJealous?â Yin Shaojieâs expression changed.
Nimo smiled. âLook at your expressionâ¦â
Yin Shaojie asked bluntly, âIs it about Chris?â
âYou know about it? You can tell?â Nimo was a little surprised.
Yin Shaojie looked outside and said in an ambiguous tone. âHe seemed a little strange back at the hospital earlier.â
Nimo patted his shoulder and said, âChris might have taken an interest in Xiaoxiao, though I still canât tell what heâs thinking about after so many years of knowing him. But from how much he knows about love⦠Iâm looking forward to seeing how he would look if he fell in love with someone!â
âTaken an interest?â Yin Shaojie asked.
Nimo went back to the topic and put aside his joking expression. âI just talked to him and noticed that he⦠seemed to be interested in Xiaoxiao. Iâm guessing that he found about her family background.â
âDid you tell him?â
âOf 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.â Nimo was standing beside him, his hand on the white railing.
âWhat if he knows about it?â Yin Shaojie asked.
Nimo held his chin, tutted, and said, âThat would be quite complicated.â
âWhat do you mean?â Yin Shaojie frowned. Nimo had always liked to do crazy things. So if he said that something was complicated, then it was truly complicated.
Nimo said tactfully, âThis involves the internal affairs of Chrisâs country so I wonât say much about it. Anyways, there are pros and cons to being born into the Muirs family. If you arenât 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.â
âYeah.â Yin Shaojie nodded in agreement. âSo keep a tight lid. Donât even say a word about Xiaoxiaoâs identity!â
After finding out about Xiaoxiaoâs mysterious identity, his first thought wasnât 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 âOKâ gesture to him.
âJust tell me simply. Will Chris hurt Xiaoxiao?â This was what Yin Shaojie cared most about.
âI donât think so.â Nimo shook his head, looking pretty sure of it.
âDidnât you say that you canât read him?â Yin Shaojie was doubtful.
Nimo said seriously, âYeah, but this is different. To outsiders, he is very indifferent and canât 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.â
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes as he grasped a key point from his ramblings. âSo what you mean is that he cares about Xiaoxiao now?â
