Chapter 1601 - One Lie After Another (72)

"We… We…" Mu Xiaoxiao bit her lip as her eyes darted around in panic.

His misunderstanding would only increase if she continued to keep him in the dark. She would have to tell him about the surprise she prepared for him.

"I only went to the hotel so that I could collect some clothes I custom-ordered from a seamstress. I originally went to her shop, but since it wasn't open, so I…" Her thoughts were a mess, causing her to be unable to express herself clearly.

"You went to a hotel to collect clothes?" Yin Shaojie laughed mockingly. "Please, Mu Xiaoxiao, can't you come up with something more reasonable if you're trying to lie? Do you think that I would always choose to believe you no matter what nonsensical lie you spin?"

Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes reddened as a powerful wave of plaintiveness washed over her heart.

He didn't believe her.

It was one thing for him to think that she was lying, but another to say that to her. How could he do that!

She felt miserable. In a fit of uncontrollable indignation, she retorted, "If you don't believe me, then so be it! I really went to collect clothes! I'm not lying."

"Do you know why I don't believe you?" Yin Shaojie looked at her icily and enunciated every single word as he spoke, "Because you keep telling one lie after another! How do you expect me to trust you? Tell me, how do you expect me to trust you!"

Tears swirled in Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes. At his last reprimand, they slipped down her cheeks.

"You're too much…"

Even though she knew that this was technically her fault and that she should not have lied to him, she felt that Yin Shaojie was being unreasonable. It was as though all the trust he had for her had disappeared.

Her heart hurt as though someone were pinching it. Tears poured forth from her eyes and blurred her vision.

Yin Shaojie felt extremely vexed when he saw her tears. He stomped a couple of times on the spot and said irately, "You're using this trick again! Mu Xiaoxiao, that's enough! You've done this every time. You think that I'll yield so long as you attack me with your tears. You think that by doing this, I would forgive you no matter what you did wrong, huh?"

Mu Xiaoxiao's lips quivered. She was at the pinnacle of her misery and could not speak.

She was crying because she was upset. Was that not allowed?

Mu Xiaoxiao stepped forward and tried to tug at his hand. In a hoarse voice, she rasped, "Yin Shaojie, can we talk civilly?"

Could he not say such cruel words? It pained her to hear them. Her heart felt really miserable.

However, Yin Shaojie avoided her hand and she grasped at air.

Mu Xiaoxiao froze.

"I understand it now." He looked at her and smiled, but his smile was cold and mocking.

She stared at him blankly.

Yin Shaojie looked at her, his gaze devoid of tenderness. Sneering coldly, he said, "I finally understand why you've been denying yourself to me. So this is the reason."

"W-What… did you say?" Mu Xiaoxiao could not comprehend the entire meaning of his words.

Since when was she unwilling to give herself to him?

At first, it was only because she was uncomfortable and shy, but she had never said that she would not give herself to him ever!

"Destiny really exists in this world, right? Both of you are the destined pair, aren't you?" As he said this, Yin Shaojie felt his heart freeze. There was no warmth left.

He was already unaware of what he was saying. He only wanted to release his anger and say things that would hurt her.

This felt like his only way to vent his fury.
