1635: We're Still Fighting (2)

We're Still Fighting (2)

It was at that moment that her suspicions of Yin Shaojie having another motive for getting close to her were confirmed. All the guys in the past had racked their brains just to amuse her. No one had been cold like Yin Shaojie.1

However, people were simply like this: The more someone did not care for oneself, the more one would care for them.

Mu Xiaoxiao noticed how he avoided Xichuan Qianling and smirked.

Luckily, he did not let that woman touch him or she would be beyond jealous.

"Ou Ming!" She leaped forwards delightedly towards Yin Shaojie and hugged his arm intimately.

Calling him by a strange name did make her feel weird, though.

But it didn't matter so long he was Yin Shaojie.

Yin Shaojie pulled his hand away. There was a sense of alienation as he distanced himself from her.

"My apologies. I'm busy right now, no matter what you came to me for," he said mildly as though he were talking to an ordinary friend.

Mu Xiaoxiao pouted displeasedly. "You…"

W-What… What did he say? He was busy? She had traveled a thousand miles to Country R to look for him and had almost gone made doing it.

Upon seeing Mu Xiaoxiao's hurt expression, Xichuan Qianling smirked internally. Even if they had been in an intimate relationship, she thought, that was probably a thing of the past, right?

The guards bowed apologetically to Yuan Yelin and uttered humbly, "My apologies, Mr. Yuan…"

Yuan Yelin raised a hand to gesture that it was of no consequence.

"It's alright. This is a friend of my guest. You may leave."

"Yes sir." The guards bowed deeply before turning around to leave.

Yin Shaojie smiled slightly as he said to Yin Shaojie, "It's alright since she's your friend. She's welcome to join in."

Mu Xiaoxiao looked towards him. He was a mature man of about thirty or so and had a noble manner of presenting himself. His awe-inspiring countenance gave the suggestion that this man held an eminent status.

"And this is…" Yuan Yelin's gaze swept across Zhi Mei, who was standing behind Mu Xiaoxiao.

"She's my friend." Even though Mu Xiaoxiao did not understand Language R, she could guess his question by how he was looking at Zhi Mei.

Zhi Mei lowered her head, trying to avoid meeting Yuan Yelin's gaze.

She had to conceal her identity and had thus learnt how to weaken her presence.

Thus, she affected terror and did not look at Yuan Yelin, as though she were a nobody who was afraid of a distinguished presence.

Zhi Mei moved closer and whispered into Mu Xiaoxiao's ear, "Since you've found him, I'll get going first."

Her mission was completed.

Mu Xiaoxiao thought that it would be awkward if she stayed as well. Thus, she nodded and said, "Sure, Zhi Mei. Thank you."

Zhi Mei smiled before bidding her farewell and rushed out of the place.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked up at Yin Shaojie. Her crafty gaze seemed to say: The sole person I could rely on has left, so I can only follow you around. You can't abandon me now.

Naturally, she was extremely confident that Yin Shaojie would never abandon her.

Some of the guests were leaving and there was thus a line of people bidding farewell to their host, Yuan Yelin.

Mu Xiaoxiao took this chance to pull Yin Shaojie aside.

Her gaze was reproachful as she glared at him in rage.
