"What's up with you?" The girl seemed a little annoyed.

Mu Xiaoxiao quickly hid her expression, pretending not to know her. She bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. Are you okay?"

The girl looked up, startled as she pointed at her. "You…"

Mu Xiaoxiao thought that she was going to scold her.

However, the girl's finger turned to the bodyguards behind her and she asked in a curious tone, "Who are you people?"

Mu Xiaoxiao knew that she had been misunderstood again, so she quickly explained, "They're not bad people. They're just…"

"They're your bodyguards? Who are you? Why bring so many bodyguards to a hospital?" The girl looked at Xiaoxiao.

The girl was perceptive. She could tell that the men in suits were bodyguards, unlike most other people.

She turned back and grumbled, "I told you bunch to stop following me! It's very odd, okay?"

A group of black suits stuck out like a sore thumb at the hospital.

She wondered if Chris was really trying to protect her. Was he trying to punk her by putting so many bodyguards on her?

Looking at the bodyguards, the girl said to them, "This is a hospital. You're going to scare the patients. If you want to protect this lady, one person is enough. It'll be less conspicuous. The others can wait outside."

Mu Xiaoxiao agreed as she glared at the head bodyguard. "Hear that?"

The bodyguard gave her a look. Then he turned back and made a hand gesture to his men.

In less than a minute, there was no one else behind Mu Xiaoxiao except for one bodyguard.

Mu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and smiled. It was refreshing not to have so many people following her.

…

Mu Xiaoxiao walked with the girl along the hallway in the hospital.

After walking a short distance.

Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly turned back to see if there was anyone following her.

Strangely, she couldn't see the bodyguards but she still had a feeling that they were merely hiding, all of them watching her.

She glanced at the bodyguard and asked, "Are they hiding so that I can't see them?"

The bodyguard nodded faintly.

Mu Xiaoxiao was impressed. His Royal Highness's bodyguards sure were professional.

"If only they had done that from the beginning!" She gave the bodyguard a look of annoyance.

The bodyguard didn't reply and his expression didn't change either.

Mu Xiaoxiao thought he was boring so she turned to look at the girl beside her.

She had decided to walk with the girl because she wanted to use the opportunity to get to know her and see if she could find out anything about the plot to poison Auntie Lu.

The girl looked back at her and smiled. "Oh yeah, are you Chinese? What is your name?"

Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised. "Yeah! Are you Chinese too?"

"Yeah." The girl nodded. "My name is Xin Zimo. What about you?"

"My name is Mu Xiaoxiao… Xin? Which Xin is that?" Mu Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

"Xin as in 'Xin ku' 1 ." Xin Zimo was used to being asked this kind of question.

"Xin? There's a surname like this? It's the first I've heard of it!" Mu Xiaoxiao was curious. The girl made a rather good impression on her. She didn't look like a bad person.
