Chapter 835: She Was Targeting Him

Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios

Mu Xiaoxiao looked puzzled. "Why is her father calling you?"

After all, it was a call from an elder. It wouldn't be appropriate for him to not answer the call. Thus, he answered the phone and hung up after a short talk.

Mu Xiaoxiao watched from beside him.

Yin Shaojie turned to her and said, "Uncle Su asked to meet me tomorrow to talk about something important."

"Could it have... something to do with Su Lin's problem?" Mu Xiaoxiao made a guess.

Su Lin is the only precious daughter in their family, so Papa Su and Mama Su were particularly loving of Su Lin. They would indulge her ever since she was young, thus resulting in Su Lin's bossy personality.

Yin Shaojie nodded and said, "Probably."

Mu Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment and said, "Didn't Su Lin say that her parents are not in China?"

"Little dummy!" Yin Shaojie reached out and pinched her little nose as he laughed, "You're so gullible. Did you not even have any suspicion that she might be lying?"

"Ah? So you mean that Su Lin lied to us? Her parents have always been around in China, but.. why did she have to lie?" Mu Xiaoxiao wrinkled her forehead, feeling at a loss. She felt that she was getting even further from understanding Su Lin's thought pattern.

Yin Shaojie looked into her eyes and asked in turn, "Why? If her parents were not around, and she had gotten her injuries because of you, would you feel bad for her? Would that make you feel like visiting her more? That's what she's targeting."

To put it simply, she was targeting him.

However, since he was suspicious of Su Lin from the start, he didn't allow himself to be led along according to her plan.

"Oh, so that's what she's doing..." Mu Xiaoxiao sighed as she leaned her head against his shoulder.

Yin Shaojie touched her hair and said, "Sigh. Don't be so gullible next time. I keep having the feeling that you might get abducted someday."

Mu Xiaoxiao flattened her mouth. "It's very tiring having to be wary of everything that people say."

Hearing that, Yin Shaojie couldn't help but laugh, "So, you're actually just lazy? You're too lazy to be wary of others, so you choose to trust them?"

"It's not so bad. It's not like I will lose a piece of flesh if I trusted them," Mu Xiaoxiao said indifferently.

Yin Shaojie stared at her. "So you haven't thought about what happens if I wasn't wary of Su Lin, and you let visit her every day and spend time alone with her in the ward? Aren't you afraid something may happen between us?"

Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao sulked for a while.

She thought that she would lose a piece of flesh. A huge piece of flesh!

"Okay..." Mu Xiaoxiao said weakly. "I'll be more careful and not be so trusting of what other people say."

"Yeah, good girl." Yin Shaojie kissed her on her cheek.

Huddling close to each other, the two sat on the sofa for a while before Yin Shaojie said softly. "It's getting late. Should we go take a shower?"

Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao quickly got up and hurriedly got down the sofa to put on her slippers.

"I need to go find Xiaomeng for something. You go shower first then!"

Like a wisp of smoke, she ran out of the apartment.

Yin Shaojie smiled helplessly as he watched her.

Mu Xiaoxiao ran next door and pressed the doorbell. Thinking that someone would come to open the door quickly, she didn't expect not to even hear a single sound from inside.

Were Xiaomeng and Ye Sijue still not back from their meal outside?

Mu Xiaoxiao tapped on the door, "Xiaomeng, Ye Sijue, are you there?"

However, there was still no response.
