1218: The Girl by His Side (4)

The Girl by His Side (4)

Mu Xiaoxiao held her forehead as she smiled bitterly. "Stop scaring people!" she said to them.2

However, the youth had already been scared and time couldn't be reversed.

"Sorry, they aren't bad guys." Mu Xiaoxiao smiled affably and kindly.

The youth smiled awkwardly, but didn't dare to go any further. He could only retreat and go back up the stairs. After determining that he wasn't in danger, he ran up the stairs.

Mu Xiaoxiao cast a pleading look at the bodyguards and put her hands together in a pleading gesture. "I'm begging you. Stop following me around, okay? Can you please go outside to wait for me?"

Even though there was still room on the stairs for traffic, there were people using the stairs and it wasn't good to scare them like that!

The gears in Mu Xiaoxiao's head turned and she held up a hand to them. "Five minutes. Just five minutes will do. I'll only be entering the ward to visit a friend and I'll come out after speaking a few words to her. Is that okay?"

The head bodyguard still repeated, "Miss Mu, we have to ensure your safety so we have to stay close by…"

"Stop! Stop speaking, please!" An exasperated Mu Xiaoxiao waved her hands to stop him. She had heard the words too many times and she didn't want to hear them anymore.

She stomped her feet helplessly.

What did she have to do to shake off unwanted company?

However, she couldn't blame them, of course, for they were only obeying their prince's orders.

Just then, the sound of light footsteps sounded from outside.

"We'll speak here," a girl said.

Mu Xiaoxiao was afraid that they would scare someone again, especially since the person was a girl.

She waved the bodyguards upstairs as though they were flies.

She also went up with them.

Just as she rounded the corner of the stairs, the door of the escapeway was pushed open, and a girl and a nurse came in. When the girl entered, she looked around suspiciously.

However, Mu Xiaoxiao didn't see this for she was busy walking up with the black suits.

"Put this in that Auntie's food. Remember not to put too much at once. A little will be enough. Got it?" the girl said.

Even though the girl was speaking softly, Mu Xiaoxiao's command of the English language rivaled that of her mother tongue. Coupled with the echo of the stairway, Mu Xiaoxiao could hear everything.

What was she trying to get the nurse to put in someone's food?

Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked.

Why did this conversation… sound right out of a TV drama?

"But… that's not a good idea, right? What's this? Will it cause harm if consumed?" the nurse seemed nervous.

"Why are you asking this? Will it cause harm? Are you trying to imply that I'll harm others? My dad is the director of this hospital. Do you think I'll hurt someone in my dad's hospital?" The girl raised her voice in displeasure.

The corners of Mu Xiaoxiao's lips turned down. So she was the daughter of the hospital director. No wonder she was so arrogant.

She was curious and thus stuck her head out carefully to peek.

She froze when she saw who it was.

It was the girl who had been following Lu Yichen.
