403: She's My Baby

She's My Baby

Mu Xiaoxiao felt that even if this breakfast was extremely delicious, she would get indigestion if she ate it.1

"Alright then, I plan to…"

Yin Shaojie was about to start talking about his plan when Mu Xiaoxiao saw William walking over. She slapped his hand immediately. "Don't say it yet! Don't say it yet!"

Yin Shaojie looked in the direction she was gazing. Upon seeing that it was William, his brows furrowed.

A particular demon looked unwelcoming, and he didn't bother to hide it.

Mu Xiaoxiao glared at him, signaling for him to act nicer.

William smiled meaningfully as he walked over. Sitting down on the other side of Mu Xiaoxiao, he asked, "Why didn't you call me to eat breakfast with you?"

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the time. It was already past ten, so how was this breakfast? It was almost lunch already.

She answered, "I didn't know if you were busy or not."

"I'm not that busy. Also, even if I were, I have to make some time for my baby, right? Baby?" William smiled his sexy smile, looking as though he was gazing at Mu Xiaoxiao tenderly.

"Slam — " Someone hit the table unhappily.

Yin Shaojie's expression was frosty and severe. He pointed a long finger at William and gritted his teeth as he warned, "Let me tell you this. Xiaoxiao is MY baby, not yours! Don't let me hear you call her 'baby' anymore, or else…"

Even if he came from a family that shouldn't be offended, Yin Shaojie wasn't afraid at all!

William rubbed his nose as he grinned at Mu Xiaoxiao and said, "That stench of jealousy is strong! Xiaoxiao, baby, do you smell it?"

He had told him not to call her baby, but he still did.

"You — " This time, Yin Shaojie slammed on the table and rose, his fists curling. A vein protruded from his temple.

Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedly pulled Yin Shaojie down. "Don't be rash! William is only joking with you! Why are you jealous when there's nothing to be jealous about? You idiot!"

William lifted the teacup in front of her and took a drink. "Your man's interesting. He's like Chinese firecrackers — exploding immediately when lit, unlike my family's…"

William sighed and shook his head as he seemed to think of something.

Yin Shaojie's anger lessened as he heard himself addressed as "Xiaoxiao's man," but his sharp gaze was still fixated on William's face as though he was scrutinizing his relationship with Xiaoxiao.

It looked as though William didn't like Xiaoxiao in that way.

If not, he wouldn't have such a relaxed attitude.

And also, who was he referring to in his last sentence?

Did it mean that he already had someone?

Upon thinking of this, Yin Shaojie's retracted some of his hostility towards the other man.

William looked at him teasingly, his mouth curling into a smirk as he said, "What? You don't like Xiaoxiao anymore? Are you in love with me now?"

Yin Shaojie looked like he wanted to vomit. He snorted. "You're shameless!"

"Thanks for the compliment." William didn't lose his cool but maintained his elegant and smiling expression.

Mu Xiaoxiao knocked on the table. "Alright, alright. I'll make the introductions. This is Yin Shaojie, my… fiancé; this is William, my good friend from America. He's a really, really good friend."

She even glared at Yin Shaojie when she mentioned the last sentence.

It seemed to say: You see, girls and guys can be friends too!

"Fiancé?" William was puzzled. He looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, "So you went back to China suddenly to get engaged?"

Mu Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly. "It is a long story…"
