Mama Yin also felt that the atmosphere was a bit odd. Seeing Mu Xiaoxiaoâs expression, she didnât seem to be very pleased with the surprise and Yin Shaojieâs expression was also quite serious. Someone not in the know might think that they were going to quarrel.
Mama Yin quickly came in to mediate and said, âItâs fine. Of course Xiaoxiao wants to go to America. Perhaps she didnât expect that you would set it up like this and couldnât respond to it. Well, anyway, there is still time before the flight. You guys eat first. Weâll talk later.â
With that, she turned to signal the helpers to ask them to leave.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Yin Shaojie and lowered her head slightly.
Ignoring what his mother said, Yin Shaojie looked at her and said, âWhat was it that you wanted to say? Continue.â
Mu Xiaoxiao glanced at Mama Yin and the luggage. If she really didnât want to go to America, she had to say it, otherwise she would have to go along with the plan.
She looked at Yin Shaojie, smiled faintly, and said in a manner like a spoiled child, âI donât want to go, Yin Shaojie. Why canât we just have my birthday in China? I want to spend my birthday in China, okay?â
She also had the vague feeling that the atmosphere was off and that if she said she wouldnât go, it might start a quarrel.
But what should she do? She wanted to stay in China becauseâ¦
Yin Shaojieâs expression changed slightly, and he asked her, âWhy?â
Mu Xiaoxiao mumbled, âWell⦠I stayed in America for the past few years and now that I have the chance to be in China, I want to stay here. Besides, Qiqing and Shijun are all here. Why go to America? â
âThey can also go to America together. Itâll be the same,â Yin Shaojie said, his dark eyes locked on her face, as if waiting to see what excuse she could come up with.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, âThatâs troublesome.â
Yin Shaojie countered, âItâs no trouble at all. Besides, arenât Sijue and Xiaomeng also in America? And your Papa. You also have lots of friends in America. Anyways, I think itâd be more convenient to have your birthday over there than here in China.â
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She didnât know how to rebut him.
According to him, it was indeed more convenient to have it in America, butâ¦
Mu Xiaoxiaoâs expression was awkward as she frowned and her thoughts were flitting through her mind as she searched for a way to rebut him.
Mama Yin was wise. As soon as she heard Mu Xiaoxiao say that, she knew that Xiaoxiao didnât want to go to America.
How could Yin Shaojie not pick up on that?
Mama Yin was a little confused. Why did he want to take Xiaoxiao to America so badly?
Moreover, her son was always so accommodating towards Xiaoxiao. Even if Mama Yin didnât understand what was happening, she knew that he would never force Xiaoxiao to do something she didnât want to do.
However, her son was acting a little strange today.
Mama Yin had the feeling that they were going to start quarreling, so she continued to speak out and be the mediator, âShaojie, have a proper discussion with Xiaoxiao. Itâs no rush. Itâs only a birthday. Itâs the same no matter where you celebrate it as long as Xiaoxiao is happy. After all, Xiaoxiao is the birthday girl.â
Seeing that he didnât respond, Mama Yin understood his intentions. She sighed, patted Xiaoxiaoâs shoulder, and left the dining room.
The other helpers were also called away.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Only Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao were left in the dining room.
The two looked at each other, each insisting on their own plans.
