Mu Xiaoxiao’s 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, “I told him…”
He repeated his answer to her verbatim.
At that time.
He told Uncle Su, “I can promise you that… but Uncle Su, have you thought about it before? If you do this, you will only hurt Su Lin and it’s 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 she’ll become even more obsessed with me.”
Upon hearing this, Uncle Su was rooted to the spot for a long time, as though he had been shocked by his words.
“But… she doesn’t 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 don’t 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, “Uncle Su, I can help you, but you have to do it my way. Are you willing to cooperate with me?”
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. “Shaojie, I’ll trouble you then.”
…
After hearing Yin Shaojie’s words, Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. “So, you didn’t promise him? Have you thought about how Su Lin can be cured?”
However, with this answer, the discomfort in her heart had disappeared.
Yin Shaojie didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. “I’m not a doctor, so how am I supposed to cure her? Actually, what Uncle Su wants is just to send her to America. It’s just that both he and his wife love Su Lin too much that they don’t dare to force her to go there. Since they can’t do that, I’ll take over for them.”
“Ah? So your method is to get her to America by force? But… what if she rebels?” Mu Xiaoxiao was a little worried about this and she felt that this method wasn’t really risk-free.
Yin Shaojie said, “Not like that, of course. Actually, I haven’t thought about it either.”
“You promised him without thinking it through?” 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, “Actually, it’s 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, she’s ultimately a time bomb. Now that I have her parents’ cooperation, my methods for dealing with her are more numerous and she wouldn’t be able to threaten you, at least.”
Her safety was of the utmost concern to him, not Su Lin’s illness.
If not for Xiaoxiao, he wouldn’t offer his help. He wasn’t 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 Su’s request.
He wasn’t a fool!
