Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked by her action. "Qiqing, what are you doing?" she asked uncomprehendingly.

Afraid that Yin Shaojie would call back, Han Qiqing turned off the phone before smirking at Mu Xiaoxiao. "You have to punish him! Let him worry a little like this so that he'll understand how important you are."

"But…" Mu Xiaoxiao was a little worried. He had been hung up on after hearing her scream, and she wondered how he would feel. Furthermore, wouldn't he be extremely worried if he couldn't get in contact with her?

Han Qiqing replied, "But what? Xiaoxiao, you're too softhearted. If you don't make your move now, Yin Shaojie will be snatched away by that other woman!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao said dazedly, "If he's someone who can be snatched away so easily… I don't want him anymore.

Wouldn't it be tiring to be in a relationship where one had to keep tabs on their partner all the time?

Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a little tired.

This was not the sort of relationship she wanted.

Mu Xiaoxiao's eyelids drooped. She wanted a unique kind of love, a love that was for her and her only!

If Yin Shaojie couldn't give her such love…

Then, she wouldn't want him anymore!

Han Qiqing signaled to the masseuses to wash them up quickly before turning to Mu Xiaoxiao and saying, "Don't think too much about it. I'll take you somewhere later. At the very least, give Yin Shaojie the cold shoulder today and wait for him to come and look for you!"

…

In the condominium where An Zhixin was staying.

Upon seeing that An Zhixin had returned, her good friend, Wang Shiyu, hurried forward. "How is it, how is it? Did he eat the cake you made?"

An Zhixin's face fell as she shook her head. "No, he wasn't at home. It was only Mu Xiaoxiao."

Wang Shiyu frowned. "So you gave the cake to Mu Xiaoxiao?"

"Yeah, what else could I do? Bring it over and then bring it back?" An Zhixin sighed as she talked. She went over to the sofa and sat down. Her entire being had sunk into a gloomy mood because she didn't get to see Yin Shaojie.

Seeing her like that, Wang Shiyu totally understood the situation.

She teased An Zhixin, "Look at you missing him? Are you deeply anxious now?"

An Zhixin said, a little flustered, "What are you talking about! I'm not!"

"Still denying it?" Wang Shiyu sat down beside her. She tugged at the dress she was wearing and said, "He sent someone to deliver this to you just now, didn't he? You couldn't wait to put it on. Also, you were smiling so happily when you went to deliver the cake just now — what about now? Aren't you feeling down because you didn't get to see him?

An Zhixin was silent.

Wang Shiyu continued, "Didn't I teach you? The path to a man's heart is through his stomach! Your culinary skills are really good — you should really make use of this and find an excuse to cook for him so that he'll admire you. Trust me, you'll be moving upstairs to live with him in no time!"

Wang Shiyu smiled suggestively as she said the last sentence.

An Zhixin looked conflicted as she said, "Just now… I did mention this, but Mu Xiaoxiao didn't reply. I think she's a little wary of me."

"Who cares about her? She can't blame you for stealing her man if she's incapable of keeping him!" Wang Shiyu smiled sneeringly. "Also, I think they may not even be lovers. It may even be a one-sided love where she's forcing her way into staying with him.

There was logic in her words, and An Zhixin seemed to be convinced by her argument.
