Can you come see me in the afternoon? I know that it’s not convenient for you to come to school right now. We can meet outside.
After looking at the contents of the message, she hesitated over how to reply to it. Her food was not here yet, and even after it had arrived and she had finished eating, she still had to get out of the house without Yin Shaojie knowing. The timing seemed a little tight.
Thus, she thought for a while and eventually replied, “How about after school in the afternoon?”
It was only a few seconds after she sent that message before Lu Yichen replied, “Sure, see you then.” His tone sounded gentle.
Mu Xiaoxiao sent him a smiley and replied, “See you then.”
Just as she put her phone down, Yin Shaojie came out of the washroom.
Noticing that he was turning his gaze onto her, Mu Xiaoxiao got a little anxious and subconsciously tried to hide her phone. She felt like she was having an affair with another man behind her husband’s back.
Confused about her feelings and trying to hide her anxiety, Mu Xiaoxiao said, “My phone’s out of battery. I’m going in to charge it.”
She made her way to the bedroom swiftly.
Yin Shaojie’s inky black eyes studied her, his thoughts indecipherable.
The delivery service was really efficient, arriving in less than 30 minutes.
Yin Shaojie had ordered a lot of food, and they were all her favorites. Mu Xiaoxiao was a foodie and couldn’t resist herself when she saw good food. She stuffed herself full.
After eating, she threw herself on the sofa lazily and patted her round stomach.
“So full… hic.” She belched a little.
Looking at the time and seeing that it was already afternoon, she told Yin Shaojie, “Jie, I don’t want to go to class this afternoon anymore. You can go to school yourself and tell the teacher to excuse me. Say that I’m badly injured and want to rest for a few days!”
Hehe, she could use this as a convenient excuse to play truant openly for a few days.
Yin Shaojie held an iPad in his hands as he lolled on the other side of the sofa. “Yeah, I don’t want to go either. I’ll keep you company at home,” his sexy voice said.
Actually, even if she had wanted to go to class, he would have stopped her.
Even though she wasn’t injured badly, she was still hurt and should take a few days off to rest.
Oh yeah, I should give this girl some supplements.
Yin Shaojie surfed the net and searched for shops with medicinal cuisine so that he could order some medicinal soup for her for dinner.
He could have called up the cook at the Yin residence to cook some, but if his father and mother knew that Mu Xiaoxiao was hurt, he would have to endure their wrath later and would be blamed for failing to protect her properly when she was under his care.
“Y-you’re not going to go?” Mu Xiaoxiao had never thought that he would do this, and she said a little anxiously, “There’s no need to keep me company at home; it’s fine if I’m alone! Go to class. You don’t have to stay with me.”
Yin Shaojie thought that she was acting weirdly. Studying her suspiciously, he asked, “Why are you chasing me off to class? Are you doing something… Behind my back?”
“S-since when!” Mu Xiaoxiao had a tendency to stammer uncontrollably when she felt guilty.
Yin Shaojie put down the iPad and narrowed his eyes. “Really?”
Like a little kid from kindergarten, Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her head vigorously. “Yeah! Really! I just… Don’t want you to waste time with me instead of going to class. Don’t worry about me and go to class. I can take care of myself!” she vowed solemnly, patting her chest.
If he stayed here to supervise her, she would not be able to meet Lu Yichen.
