Upon hearing that there was more, Mu Xiaoxiaoâs heart rose again and hung precariously as she looked at Yin Shaojie with dazed eyes.
âWhat else did she say?â She swallowed. She felt as if she had been busted from the look of Yin Shaojieâs eyes.
Her heart was pounding madly and she thought she was really going to have a heart attack.
Yin Shaojie smirked and said, âShe said she bought some interesting protection for you. Protection? What protection?â
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunnedâ¦
Protection?
The air became still instantly and even the domestic helper was stunned as well.
Mu Xiaoxiao was panicking a little as she met Yin Shaojieâs suggestive gaze. Her brain scrambled for ideas and she stammered, âP-Protection as in⦠phone protection! What else did you think it was? Of course itâs phone protection!â
Luckily, she was a quick thinker and she thought of phone protection. She breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what, she just had to stick to it being phone protection and all would be good!
Mu Xiaoxiao clenched her fist internally.
âPhone protection?â Yin Shaojie eyes narrowed in disbelief. âIt canât be that, right? Her tone doesnât seem to sound like sheâs talking about phone protection. Why would she call phone protection âprotectionâ?â
âW-What else⦠did you think it was then?â Mu Xiaoxiao pretended to tease him. âDid you think that she was referring to that kind of âprotectionâ? Us girls are not like you guys, always thinking of dirty things. Weâre very pure, okay!â
âIs it really phone protection?â Yin Shaojie asked again, this time sounding like he believed her a little.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded immediately. âDuh! You donât understand how girls talk. We like to repeat words that sound the same. Itâs totally normal, okay?â
Yin Shaojie looked suspicious.
Mu Xiaoxiao glared at him and held her hand out humorlessly. âHurry up and give me my phone! Anyway, we already have a box of that protection youâre thinking of. Why would I need to buy more?â
Yin Shaojie thought that sounded logical and passed the phone to her.
âDonât you have something to do in the study? Hurry up and go. Iâm almost done with resting and Iâm going to shower soon.â Mu Xiaoxiao chased him out hurriedly so that he would not stare at her. She felt like his stares could expose her.
His gaze was sharp and scary.
Yin Shaojie ruffled her hair. âGo shower, then. Finish your water first.â
âOkay, okay. Hurry up and go.â Mu Xiaoxiao pushed him out of the room. The domestic helper left as well.
After closing the door, she leaned against it and let out a huge sigh of relief.
Her legs felt a little numb.
She held her chest. Her heart was racing excitedly.
She got a really good fright there and had almost been unable to fool him.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly checked her phone for Qiqingâs messages. She had indeed mentioned things like Yin Shaojie had said. Luckily, she had not mentioned anything else or he would have known.
âStupid Qiqing!â She couldnât help but complain.
She thought that the room did not feel safe enough. She entered the toilet and closed the door before calling Han Qiqing.
âYouâre such a dummy! Why did you send me a message! Yin Shaojie saw it! I was almost exposed, you know? Youâll be the death of me!â Mu Xiaoxiao could not help but laugh out of anger as she thought about the danger she was in earlier.
Han Qiqing let out a strange noise. âAh? He saw it? What did I send? I forgot.â
âLuckily, you only mentioned the protection and not the clothes.â Mu Xiaoxiao told her about the close shave she had earlier.
