She would never have thought of such a way to lure him out if he hadn’t ignored her.
“Where did you go earlier? Why didn’t you come?”
Did you know that I had been waiting for you all along?
Yin Shaojie understood what she was trying to do, but was still upset that she had actually sought out male escorts.
Slap! He slapped her bottom again.
“Yin Shaojie!” Mu Xiaoxiao howled. Furious, she grabbed a cushion to hit him. “Why did you hit me? Jerk! Jerk!”
Yin Shaojie reached out and caught the cushion, throwing it aside haphazardly.
Mu Xiaoxiao scooped up another cushion and threw it at him.
Yin Shaojie caught it and threw it to the side.
Mu Xiaoxiao pounced on him huffily and hammered her little fists against his chest.
“Who asked you to ignore me today! Who asked you to ignore me!”
She sent him messages that he did not reply to.
She made calls to him that he did not answer.
She even paid a personal visit to his class, but he had disappeared.
Had he not thought about how she would feel?
Yin Shaojie frowned, his gaze still cold. He grabbed her wrist with his large hand and put a stop to her behavior.
“You know the reason!”
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little confused. She looked at him and said, “Why are you being so petty? You’re only doing this because I did not satisfy you last night…”
“That’s not the reason!” Yin Shaojie said sharply.
Yin Shaojie thought that she was putting on an act and breathed deeply.
He locked his gaze onto hers and enunciated his words as he said, “I’ll only ask you this: Are you lying to me about anything?”
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned and her mind erupted into chaos.
Was she lying to him about anything?
Could he have realized that she had been lying to him?
Suddenly, she felt panicked. She tried to recall what she had said to him.
However, she had lied to him more than once, which made her thoughts even more disordered.
“What… What I’ve been lying to you about…” She returned, trembling with fear as she observed his dark and cold gaze.
He rarely showed such an expression.
Yin Shaojie looked askance at her and said, “Reflect upon it yourself. I want you to think about it on your own.”
“I-I don’t know…” Mu Xiaoxiao stammered.
Yin Shaojie spat bluntly, “Jun Zeye!”
Mu Xiaoxiao stiffened. Did he know?
“What did you say? What does this have to do with him?” Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him, stunned and dazed. She wanted to glean some of his thoughts through his eyes, but Yin Shaojie was enigmatic and unfathomable today.
Yin Shaojie’s hands were now balled into fists.
He said, “Did you know how much I wanted to punch him? Did you know why I couldn’t do it?”
Mu Xiaoxiao did not understand why he changed the topic suddenly.
“W-Why?”
It were as though she were being led by the nose.
“What did you say?” Yin Shaojie glared at her with a cool, sharp gaze as he threw her words back at her.
Why? How could she know?
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little confused and could not speak.
Because her thoughts were a mess, she was at a loss on how to reply.
