âCome here. I have something to say to you!â
Yin Shaojie frowned, but walked over.
Yin Shaojieâs frown deepened as they conversed.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at them curiously.
After a while, Yin Shaojie walked over. Bending over, he said into her ear, âI need to go somewhere with him to do something urgent. I might not be able to return tonight. You should go with Annie so that I wonât worry.â
He ruffled her hair before walking off with Nimo.
The two of them drove off.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She didnât even have the chance to say a word to him.
What was the urgent matter he was attending to?
He didnât even explain anything to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. However, she remembered how grave both his and Nimoâs expressions were, and thought that things might really be urgent. If not, they wouldnât have left so quickly.
She cupped her face with her hands and pouted.
Annie said happily, âXiaoxiao, youâre coming with me then, right?â
Mu Xiaoxiao looked a little gloomy as she said, âButâ¦â
She didnât want to go!
She still had to visit Auntie Lu at the hospitalâ¦
Actually, it was more convenient to do so without a jealous lover like Yin Shaojie beside her.
The gears in Mu Xiaoxiaoâs head turned and she leaned close to Annie. She whispered, âIâll go to the hospital first before looking for you.â
âNo way. How can I let you go to the hospital alone? Iâll be worried,â Annie said as she shook her head. She thought about what Yin Shaojie had said. He seemed like he was worried about leaving Xiaoxiao alone and hence wanted her to follow herself.
âWhy should you be worried? Iâve lived here for four years, and this is my second home. Also, Iâm not a three-year-old child whoâll get lost.â Mu Xiaoxiao patted her chest, trying to convince her.
Annie thought for a while. âHow about this⦠Let me ask Chris what I should do and let him call the shots, okay?â
âSure.â Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. It would be fine so long as she could go to the hospital.
However.
One hour later.
In the lobby of a hospital.
It was too late for regrets as Mu Xiaoxiao stood still and glared at the bodyguards following her.
They were all standing ramrod straight in their black suits.
One, two, three, four, fiveâ¦
Mu Xiaoxiao gave up counting and held her forehead with a hand.
She was only here to visit a friend. Did it warrant such a display?
Also, were they afraid that no one could tell that they were bodyguards?
Could they not wear the same black suit?
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, and said to the bodyguard, âStop following me. Can you just wait for me here? Iâm only going to visit a friend. Iâll be back soon.â
The man at the head of the squad said, âMiss Mu, we have to ensure your safety.â
Mu Xiaoxiao said, â⦠Even if youâre protecting me, can you stand further away? You donât have to stand so close, right?â
After a lot of persuasion, they finally stepped back.
The bodyguards were now about ten paces away from her. They wouldnât be able to protect her properly if she were met with danger.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao didnât know whether to laugh or to cry.
She was only here to visit someone. Why would danger befall her?
