Mu Xiaoxiaoâs face crumpled. She thought, Am I being too selfish by thinking like this?
Yin Shaojie looked at her sad little face and his heart ached. He interlaced both their hands together, palm to palm, transferring the feelings he had for her.
He said, âI told himâ¦â
He repeated his answer to her verbatim.
At that time.
He told Uncle Su, âI can promise you that⦠but Uncle Su, have you thought about it before? If you do this, you will only hurt Su Lin and itâs not going to help her illness. If you want her to get better, you should get her to let me go and not make me accommodate her or sheâll become even more obsessed with me.â
Upon hearing this, Uncle Su was rooted to the spot for a long time, as though he had been shocked by his words.
âBut⦠she doesnât want to go to America now! We really have no other choice! If she stays in China her illness will only get worse and we donât know what else to do.
If it was not as a last resort why would he bow down and beg a junior like this?
Yin Shaojie interlaced his fingers on the table and looked at him gravely, âUncle Su, I can help you, but you have to do it my way. Are you willing to cooperate with me?â
Uncle Su was stunned as he looked at the youth before him.
Somehow, somewhere along the line, the youngsters had all grown up and lost their childishness. They had become as steady and reliable as an adult.
After a pause, Uncle Su looked down and sighed. âShaojie, Iâll trouble you then.â
â¦
After hearing Yin Shaojieâs words, Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. âSo, you didnât promise him? Have you thought about how Su Lin can be cured?â
However, with this answer, the discomfort in her heart had disappeared.
Yin Shaojie didnât know whether to laugh or to cry. âIâm not a doctor, so how am I supposed to cure her? Actually, what Uncle Su wants is just to send her to America. Itâs just that both he and his wife love Su Lin too much that they donât dare to force her to go there. Since they canât do that, Iâll take over for them.â
âAh? So your method is to get her to America by force? But⦠what if she rebels?â Mu Xiaoxiao was a little worried about this and she felt that this method wasnât really risk-free.
Yin Shaojie said, âNot like that, of course. Actually, I havenât thought about it either.â
âYou promised him without thinking it through?â Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. She wondered if this responsibility was too burdensome.
He seemed to know what she was thinking about. Smiling easily, he said, âActually, itâs not that complicated. Think about it another way. If Su Lin continues this what will happen if she goes crazy and does something bad to you? To us, sheâs ultimately a time bomb. Now that I have her parentsâ cooperation, my methods for dealing with her are more numerous and she wouldnât be able to threaten you, at least.â
Her safety was of the utmost concern to him, not Su Linâs illness.
If not for Xiaoxiao, he wouldnât offer his help. He wasnât the Holy Father. He was just a selfish man. He would never upset his own beloved woman for another woman.
Thus, he would never had agreed to Uncle Suâs request.
He wasnât a fool!
