“Hey, what’s up with all of this? Why are you…”
“Shh.” Yin Shaojie shot a look at her to gesture for her to stop.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt uncomfortable being full of curiosity but being unable to question him.
“Who’s that girl? Why are you with her?”
He was abominable! She had suffered so many trials and tribulations and flew over land and sea from a great distance to look for him in Country R, only to find him together with another girl.
Yin Shaojie squeezed the area between his eyebrows. He looked at her deeply and asked instead, “Tell me: how did you know I was in Country R? And how did you know I’m here?”
Most importantly, how did she know that he was going by the alias “Ou Ming”?
He had observed how she was not surprised earlier and that she had already known that he was using “Ou Ming” as his alias. She had even shrewdly played along with him and did not expose his identity.
His operations this time were extremely secretive and only known to a few.
So, how did she know about this?
Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated. “Well, I can’t tell you…”
Upon hearing this, Yin Shaojie’s brow twitched and his gaze was cold as he looked at her. “Sure, since you’re so adamant about keeping it a secret from me, you don’t have to tell me about it. I don’t want to know either.”
What? He was angry again? Mu Xiaoxiao was awfully depressed.
“Yin… Hey! Let’s get out of here first and find somewhere to talk properly, okay?”
She still had a lot to say to him.
However, this was not a convenient place to talk.
Clack, clack, clack.
Someone in high heels was walking over.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked over and met Xichuan Qianling’s gaze.
Xichuan Qianling walked over to Yin Shaojie with the grace of a debutante. With a smile befitting the occasion, she said in English, “Ou Ming, I don’t think you’ve introduced your friend’s name.”
Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t even want her to know her name in the first place, but was also afraid that it would expose Yin Shaojie’s identity.
She held Yin Shaojie’s hand intimately and spoke up voluntarily to Xichuan Qianling, “My name is… his girlfriend!”
What she actually wanted to say was “wife.”
Upon hearing this, the warmth in Xichuan Qianling’s gaze cooled a few degrees.
“Girlfriend? Really?”
She wanted to hear it from Yin Shaojie’s mouth.
Yin Shaojie was silent for a few seconds, as though this question put him in a spot.
Mu Xiaoxiao was displeased and pinched the flesh on his arm surreptitiously.
Why was he doing this? She dared him to not say a word!
Helpless, Yin Shaojie could only sigh and say, “Yes, she is my girlfriend.”
He had no choice but to take full responsibility if the mission failed this time.
Xichuan Qianling’s aura turned frosty. She glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao, and seemingly unwilling to give up hope, asked, “Were you fighting earlier?”
“We weren’t fighting! How could we be fighting? Our relationship is great!” Mu Xiaoxiao said.
Yin Shaojie tugged at her arm.
He said icily, “I haven’t forgotten that we’re still fighting.”
He…
Mu Xiaoxiao glared at him reproachfully.
Even if we were really fighting, couldn’t you play along with me? Why are you admitting that we fought in front of this woman!
She was about to die from anger!
