He smiled apologetically and said, âI wish I could go with you. It would be my pleasure to meet Mr. Yuan, but itâs really a pity. But we can surely meet again next time.â
Of course Yuan Yelin wouldnât force him as he politely nodded and said, âYeah, next time then.
Yin Shaojie said nothing more. Even if he had ruined the mission the only thing he could do was accept it.
âSo, goodbye.â With that said he grabbed Mu Xiaoxiaoâs hand and left.
Xichuan Qianling hurried over, looking resentful as she held Yuan Yelinâs hand and said, âUncle! Why didnât you help me? How can you let him go?â
She stomped angrily.
Yuan Yelin chuckled, turned to look at her, and asked frankly, âYou like him that much?â
Xichuan Qianling nodded immediately. âYeah, I like him. Uncle, donât think I couldnât tell that you admire him very much. Please, help me. Help me to think of something, alright?
Yuan Yelin smiled enigmatically and his eyes flashed sharply.
He said mildly, âIf you like him, snatch him then.â
â¦
Mu Xiaoxiao cutely allowed Yin Shaojie to take her away.
When she was out of the banquet hall, she felt the gloominess inside dispersing.
Watching Yin Shaojieâs back, the corner of her lips curled up in a smile.
Seeing him defend her made her feel happy.
It meant that he still felt the same way about her.
Not far away, Zhi Mei sat in the car and saw both of them.
She never left. Although her task was considered complete, she had to ensure that Mu Xiaoxiao was safe before she could rest easy.
Seeing that Mu Xiaoxiao had come out with Yin Shaojie, she was relieved.
Just when she was about to drive away, she didnât expect Yin Shaojie to glance over like he had noticed her.
Zhi Mei was a little surprised.
She had parked the car in a dark, obscure corner. How could he have noticed that she was there?
This man was really not a simple character.
Yin Shaojie looked at her seriously and watched as she drove away before turning back.
He looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, âThe woman who brought you here. Who is she?â
âSheâs my friend.â Mu Xiaoxiao was going to say, but with Yin Shaojie staring at her, she stopped halfway.
She couldnât lie to Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie suddenly let go of her hand, his tone slightly cold as he said, âIf you donât want to say it, then forget it. I wonât force you.â
With that said, he went ahead and left her alone standing there.
Was he going to leave her there?
She quickly caught up to him.
âOu⦠Yin Shaojie! Wait for me. Donât get angry. I didnât say I wasnât going to tell you.â
They were already outside by then. She could finally call out his name.
Calling him Ou Ming earlier was awkward for her.
Especially with the disguise on his face, it seemed as though she were looking at another man.
âYinâââ
She wanted to shout âYin Shaojieâ again. She wouldnât get tired of it no matter how many times she called out that name.
But Yin Shaojie turned back and made a shushing gesture with his mouth.
Realizing the situation, Mu Xiaoxiao went along and kept quiet.
