Had he given He Qiya a birthday presents before?
Yin Shaojie hung his arm around the back of Mu Xiaoxiaoâs chair and said mildly, âI donât have any.â
Upon hearing this, the girls around He Qiya looked at one another smilingly before looking at He Qiya. âQiya wll be really upset if you donât give her anything.â
He Qiya frowned slightly. âCan you stop spouting nonsense?â
âHow is this spouting nonsense? Didnât Young Master Jie give you a limited edition Chanel bag last year? How can he not give anything to you?â
The girl took a glance at Mu Xiaoxiao deliberately when she said that. She then acted shocked and covered her mouth, âOh, oh, I forgot that Young Master Jie has a new girlfriend.â
Chanel bag?
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Yin Shaojie.
She wasnât bothered that Yin Shaojie had given He Qiya presents, but he had never mentioned this before!
Upon hearing this, Yin Shaojie frowned.
Beside them, He Qiya looked a little anxious and didnât dare look at Yin Shaojieâs eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao saw that Yin Shaojie was about to speak and she grabbed his arm suddenly, preventing him from speaking.
She said in a playful tone, âAre you hinting that Iâm so petty as to not let him give her a present?â
âAiyoh, we all can understand your feelings. However, in any case, Qiya is the head of the organization department, and can be considered one of Young Master Jieâs capable leaders. Giving her a present should be nothing, right?âAnother girl chimed in. Even though there was a smile on her face, her tone sounded as though she were indignant for her friend.
âItâs okay! Iâm fine whether I get a present or not. Iâm already honored that Young Master Jie is attending my birthday party.â He Qiya spoke out, stopping her friends. She looked a little anxious and was trying to pull them away.
âQiya, youâre too kind. Itâs because you donât fight for yourself that things are snatched awayâ¦â
He Qiya interrupted her hastily and reprimanded gently, âI said, stop talking! Sorry, Young Master Jie, my friend was drinking, so sheâs spouting nonsense. Sorry.â
She bowed to Yin Shaojie to apologize.
Yin Shaojieâs handsome face was dark, looking as though he were going to fly into a rage at any moment. The girls felt a little fearful and thus allowed themselves to be dragged away by He Qiya.
After the girls left, Mu Xiaoxiao stared at Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie looked into her eyes and said hastily, âXiaoxiao, listen to meâ¦â
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, âAlright, explain yourself.â
âIâve never given her any bags before. I didnât even know that happened on her last birthday.â Yin Shaojie looked at her, his face serious.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, âActually⦠Even if you did given her a Chanel bag, I donât care. Itâs just like that girl saidâ sheâs one of your capable leaders and giving her a present on her birthdayâ¦â
Before she could continue her nonsense, Yin Shaojie interrupted her. Staring into her eyes, he enunciated, âI said, I never gave her a bag! Not a bag, not anything!â
âReally?â she asked.
Yin Shaojie locked his gaze on hers, afraid that she wouldnât believe him. âDo you want me to swear?â
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled. âAlright, I was playing with you. I believe you.â
