Mu Xiaoxiao woke up early because of the hospital visit. Also, her energy was quite good, having slept well the night before.
At breakfast.
Mu Xiaoxiao had the feeling that Mama Yinâs gaze kept flitting over occasionally. The look in her eyes was weird too, seemingly with a hint of suggestiveness in them.
Her ears reddened as she remembered what had happened the night before.
Mama Yin had accidentally stumbled upon Yin Shaojie and her bantering after their arrival â did she misunderstand and think that they had been making out?
âAhem!â The atmosphere was awkward, and Papa Yin coughed. He even elbowed his wife discreetly, signaling her to stop the obvious staring.
Papa Yinâs gaze seemed to say âRestrain yourself; donât scare Xiaoxiao off.â
Mama Yin beamed as she communicated with her eyes, âWhatâs so embarrassing about this? Xiaoxiaoâs already our daughter-in-law anyway.â
Mu Xiaoxiao ate her porridge with her head lowered. She was aware of the couple making eyes at each other and wanted to hide from their gaze.
Suddenly, Mama Yinâs voice rang out, âXiaoxiao, did you sleep well last night? How many times did Little Jieâ¦â
âAhem, ahem, ahem!â Papa Yin coughed violently, interrupting her.
Mama Yin glared reproachfully at her husband. âWhat did you do that for!â it seemed to say.
Mu Xiaoxiao simply scooped up her bowl, drinking the rest of her porridge in one gulp. Standing up, she excused herself, âMama Yin, Papa Yin, Iâm full. Please enjoy the rest of the meal; Iâm going back to the room.â
She then darted away from the dining area hastily.
She couldnât help but grumble to Yin Shaojie internally. Why didnât this jerk come down to breakfast? Heâd abandoned her to face Mama Yinâs weirdness alone, and itâd been really awkward!
She walked to the door of the room and found it ajar.
Pushing open the door, she saw Yin Shaojie by the nightstand taking something out from its drawer and putting it into his pocket.
What was he being so furtive about?
Just as Mu Xiaoxiaoâs curiosity was aroused, she suddenly remembered with a start what the drawer had contained. Her ears, which were still slightly pink from before, quickly became red.
That box⦠of strawberry-flavored condoms was purchased by him?
Mu Xiaoxiao stood by the door in a daze. Should she enter or make a stealthy exit?
Just then, a domestic helper appeared. âMiss Mu, the porridge you requested is ready. Madam asks if you want to arrange a chauffeur to send it to the hospital, or would you rather bring it over yourself?â
Mu Xiaoxiao pretended to have just entered the room and even pushed the door in forcefully as she replied the domestic helper in a loud voice, âI want to bring it over myself.â
âAlright.â The domestic helper then left.
Yin Shaojie sauntered over, behaving like his usual self. His hands were in his pockets, and he looked as unruly as ever in his dashing and confident manner.
He harrumphed in displeasure and said, âYouâre going to bring the porridge to that fellow personally?â
Mu Xiaoxiao glared at him as she retorted, âCan you stop calling him âthat fellowâ? He has a name!â
âCanât you just let the chauffeur bring it to him? We still have to rush to school. Or are you trying to play truant again? Mu Xiaoxiao, can you treat your academics more seriously?â Yin Shaojie looked angered, and his handsome face was a little serious as he said this.
Mu Xiaoxiao placed her hands on her hips and countered, âDo you treat your academics seriously then? Donât you only care about wooing the girls in school?â
âMe? Needing to woo girls?â Upon hearing this, Yin Shaojieâs brows cocked.
âWith the charm that yours truly possesses, all the girls will be all over me at the beckon of my finger. Do I even need to woo them?â
