Mama Yin also felt that the atmosphere was a bit odd. Seeing Mu Xiaoxiao’s expression, she didn’t seem to be very pleased with the surprise and Yin Shaojie’s expression was also quite serious. Someone not in the know might think that they were going to quarrel.
Mama Yin quickly came in to mediate and said, “It’s fine. Of course Xiaoxiao wants to go to America. Perhaps she didn’t expect that you would set it up like this and couldn’t respond to it. Well, anyway, there is still time before the flight. You guys eat first. We’ll talk later.”
With that, she turned to signal the helpers to ask them to leave.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Yin Shaojie and lowered her head slightly.
Ignoring what his mother said, Yin Shaojie looked at her and said, “What was it that you wanted to say? Continue.”
Mu Xiaoxiao glanced at Mama Yin and the luggage. If she really didn’t want to go to America, she had to say it, otherwise she would have to go along with the plan.
She looked at Yin Shaojie, smiled faintly, and said in a manner like a spoiled child, “I don’t want to go, Yin Shaojie. Why can’t we just have my birthday in China? I want to spend my birthday in China, okay?”
She also had the vague feeling that the atmosphere was off and that if she said she wouldn’t go, it might start a quarrel.
But what should she do? She wanted to stay in China because…
Yin Shaojie’s expression changed slightly, and he asked her, “Why?”
Mu Xiaoxiao mumbled, “Well… I stayed in America for the past few years and now that I have the chance to be in China, I want to stay here. Besides, Qiqing and Shijun are all here. Why go to America? ”
“They can also go to America together. It’ll be the same,” Yin Shaojie said, his dark eyes locked on her face, as if waiting to see what excuse she could come up with.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, “That’s troublesome.”
Yin Shaojie countered, “It’s no trouble at all. Besides, aren’t Sijue and Xiaomeng also in America? And your Papa. You also have lots of friends in America. Anyways, I think it’d be more convenient to have your birthday over there than here in China.”
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She didn’t know how to rebut him.
According to him, it was indeed more convenient to have it in America, but…
Mu Xiaoxiao’s expression was awkward as she frowned and her thoughts were flitting through her mind as she searched for a way to rebut him.
Mama Yin was wise. As soon as she heard Mu Xiaoxiao say that, she knew that Xiaoxiao didn’t want to go to America.
How could Yin Shaojie not pick up on that?
Mama Yin was a little confused. Why did he want to take Xiaoxiao to America so badly?
Moreover, her son was always so accommodating towards Xiaoxiao. Even if Mama Yin didn’t understand what was happening, she knew that he would never force Xiaoxiao to do something she didn’t want to do.
However, her son was acting a little strange today.
Mama Yin had the feeling that they were going to start quarreling, so she continued to speak out and be the mediator, “Shaojie, have a proper discussion with Xiaoxiao. It’s no rush. It’s only a birthday. It’s the same no matter where you celebrate it as long as Xiaoxiao is happy. After all, Xiaoxiao is the birthday girl.”
Seeing that he didn’t respond, Mama Yin understood his intentions. She sighed, patted Xiaoxiao’s shoulder, and left the dining room.
The other helpers were also called away.
Only Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao were left in the dining room.
The two looked at each other, each insisting on their own plans.
