Chapter 1548 - One Lie After Another (19)
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled widely and shook her head. "It doesn't hurt. It's only a vegetable, so it's not that painful."
Yin Shaojie did not know what to do with her. He scolded, "Who asked you to step in front of me?"
"I only wanted to protect you," Mu Xiaoxiao pouted as she said.
Actually, she had acted unconsciously. Her brain had yet to process what was happening before she already started to move.
Yin Shaojie sighed deeply. Reaching out with his long arm, he cupped her little head and pressed it against his chest.
Mu Xiaoxiao reached out with open arms and hugged his waist.
Did this mean that he was reconciling with her now?
An idea flashed into Mu Xiaoxiao's head. She said sweetly, "Yin Shaojie, you know, you're the most important person to me. The most most important person."
So that's why she would feel really sad if he ignored her.
Yin Shaojie looked down at the top of her head in silence.
He was her most important person.
He knew this, and he had no suspicion that it was not true.
However…
He did not know when it had started, but this did not satisfy him anymore.
He did not just wanted to be the most important person to her, or one of the most important people in her life.
He desired to own all of her and be her one and only.
To let her eyes only see him, and her heart to only have him.
This desire was so intense that he was shocked by it himself.
Yin Shaojie's gaze deepened further.
…
They were almost at school.
Even though they were silent again, the atmosphere in the car was much better than before.
Mu Xiaoxiao was happy. Her phone vibrated and it was a WeChat notification.
She took her phone out and unlocked it casually. Entering WeChat, she saw that the message came from Qiqing. She was asking whether she was coming to school that day, and when they should go and collect the clothes.
Upon reading the last sentence, Mu Xiaoxiao moved her body away instinctively so that Yin Shaojie would not see it.
She smiled as she said, "Qiqing sent me a WeChat asking if I'm coming to school."
She straightened up and turned towards the window discreetly so that he could not see the words she was typing.
——I'm almost reaching. We'll talk about it later.
Han Qiqing seemed to understand what she meant and sent a shushing emoji.
Mu Xiaoxiao put her phone away quickly.
However, she suddenly heard Yin Shaojie's voice ring out beside her ear. "What were you talking about? Let me see."
He said it in a casual manner, as though this was a matter of course.
Mu Xiaoxiao's hand froze and she gasped.
Even though the contents of Qiqing's message did not reveal their secret, Yin Shaojie was a smart person, and she could not guarantee that his suspicions would not be aroused by the words "collect the clothes".
What was she supposed to reply if he asked her about it?
She really did not like to lie!
A single lie needed countless other lies to cover it up, which was agonizing.
Yin Shaojie's lips twitched and his smile seem to cool.
Mu Xiaoxiao was afraid that he would become angry again if she did not let him see her phone. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, she could only hand her phone to him.
"You can see or yourself…"
She only hoped that he would not suspect anything.
If not, she would have to lie again, and lying was torture to her.
She did not want to lie, especially to him.
She had also promised not to keep anything from him.
A promise she did not fulfil…
Mu Xiaoxiao's heart was like a lump of hemp, intertwined and messy.
She could only comfort herself with the fact that she would come clean to him once she revealed her surprise for him.
He would probably not be angry anymore then.
