Deep Fondness (3)

Mu Xiaoxiao picked up the bottle and said, "I'll take this back and run a lab test on it. I'll know if you're speaking the truth or not."1

Even though she didn't believe her, Xin Zimo knew that her prudence meant that she was genuinely concerned about Auntie Lu, and thus had no objections.

"Then, Brother Yichen…" Xin Zimo spoke out as she looked at her hesitantly.

Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a while, but still decided not to meet Lu Yichen. "Don't tell him I came."

Xin Zimo nodded. "I got it. Thank you."

Even though she knew that Brother Yichen wanted to meet Xiaoxiao, her selfish heart still didn't wish for them to meet.

Mu Xiaoxiao gestured to the bodyguard to send someone to supervise Xin Zimo.

Mu Xiaoxiao then left the hospital.

Xin Zimo looked at her as she went. The emotions reflected in her eyes were complicated, and she felt a mix of feelings in her heart as well.

She kind of understood why Brother Yichen liked Xiaoxiao now..

However…

So what?

She firmly believed that she was the one who could give Brother Yichen the most happiness. She was Brother Yichen's destined other half.

Xin Zimo didn't believe in anyone else but herself.

Because she was the only one who could give the people she loved happiness.

However.

What both of them had failed to notice was that Lu Yichen was standing behind a window of a building that their backs were facing and he heard everything that had happened between them.

His gaze was deep and his thoughts unfathomable.

...

Mu Xiaoxiao returned to where Annie was staying.

It was situated among a bunch of really old villas. The wealthy had lived in this area in the past but those days had long passed.

Because Chris's grandma had lived here when she was young, Annie was fond of this place. Thus, she stayed at this place every time she returned to America.

"Xiaoxiao? Are you okay?" Annie knocked before entering the room and walked over to where Xiaoxiao was.

"Me? I'm fine." Mu Xiaoxiao was standing by the balcony and watching the dark sky.

"You've looked unhappy ever since you came back. Did something happen at the hospital?" Even Annie could tell that she was in a bad mood.

Mu Xiaoxiao sighed again.

When she studied in the US, there were quite a few people who liked her. Even though they had tried to pursue her, she had rejected them all but had maintained friendships with all of them.

But now she wondered if they had really liked her that much.

However, Lu Yichen was different…

Mu Xiaoxiao felt frustrated when she thought about this.

She really liked Lu Yichen as a friend and didn't want to hurt him.

Even though Qiqing had told her that Lu Yichen liked her, she hadn't taken it seriously. She thought that so long as she didn't like him and told him clearly, the two could still remain friends.

However, she felt really vexed and guilty after hearing what Xin Zimo had said.

Had she done something wrong?

Was she not supposed to help Lu Yichen?

Would he stop liking her if she didn't help him?
