Mu Xiaoxiao held her forehead as she smiled bitterly. âStop scaring people!â she said to them.
However, the youth had already been scared and time couldnât be reversed.
âSorry, they arenât bad guys.â Mu Xiaoxiao smiled affably and kindly.
The youth smiled awkwardly, but didnât dare to go any further. He could only retreat and go back up the stairs. After determining that he wasnât in danger, he ran up the stairs.
Mu Xiaoxiao cast a pleading look at the bodyguards and put her hands together in a pleading gesture. âIâm begging you. Stop following me around, okay? Can you please go outside to wait for me?â
Even though there was still room on the stairs for traffic, there were people using the stairs and it wasnât good to scare them like that!
The gears in Mu Xiaoxiaoâs head turned and she held up a hand to them. âFive minutes. Just five minutes will do. Iâll only be entering the ward to visit a friend and Iâll come out after speaking a few words to her. Is that okay?â
The head bodyguard still repeated, âMiss Mu, we have to ensure your safety so we have to stay close byâ¦â
âStop! Stop speaking, please!â An exasperated Mu Xiaoxiao waved her hands to stop him. She had heard the words too many times and she didnât want to hear them anymore.
She stomped her feet helplessly.
What did she have to do to shake off unwanted company?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, she couldnât blame them, of course, for they were only obeying their princeâs orders.
Just then, the sound of light footsteps sounded from outside.
âWeâll speak here,â a girl said.
Mu Xiaoxiao was afraid that they would scare someone again, especially since the person was a girl.
She waved the bodyguards upstairs as though they were flies.
She also went up with them.
Just as she rounded the corner of the stairs, the door of the escapeway was pushed open, and a girl and a nurse came in. When the girl entered, she looked around suspiciously.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao didnât see this for she was busy walking up with the black suits.
âPut this in that Auntieâs food. Remember not to put too much at once. A little will be enough. Got it?â the girl said.
Even though the girl was speaking softly, Mu Xiaoxiaoâs command of the English language rivaled that of her mother tongue. Coupled with the echo of the stairway, Mu Xiaoxiao could hear everything.
What was she trying to get the nurse to put in someoneâs food?
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked.
Why did this conversation⦠sound right out of a TV drama?
âBut⦠thatâs not a good idea, right? Whatâs this? Will it cause harm if consumed?â the nurse seemed nervous.
âWhy are you asking this? Will it cause harm? Are you trying to imply that Iâll harm others? My dad is the director of this hospital. Do you think Iâll hurt someone in my dadâs hospital?â The girl raised her voice in displeasure.
The corners of Mu Xiaoxiaoâs lips turned down. So she was the daughter of the hospital director. No wonder she was so arrogant.
She was curious and thus stuck her head out carefully to peek.
She froze when she saw who it was.
It was the girl who had been following Lu Yichen.
