Chapter 297 - Treating Him Lukewarm

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

One day.

Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing met to visit Mama Lu at the hospital.

In the afternoon, before the school's official dismissal time, the two had left through the school gate. Seeing the two, the security guard did not even ask them anything before letting them pass.

The Han family's car was outside waiting.

When they were almost at the hospital, Han Qiqing remembered something, and she turned to look at Mu Xiaoxiao to ask, "Aren't you going to inform Yin Shaojie? If not, the great young master will get angry again when he can't find you."

"Oh," Mu Xiaoxiao responded tepidly. She then took out her phone not to call Yin Shaojie but to sent him a short text.

"Okay, I've told him." Mu Xiaoxiao said carefreely as she kept her phone.

Han Qiqing was stunned. "That's it?"

"What else then? Anyway, he only said that I have to inform him of where I am going. That counts, right?" Mu Xiaoxiao said, appearing unconcerned.

Han Qiqing curiously squinted her eyes as she looked at her and said, "Oh Xiaoxiao, have you been so lukewarm toward Yin Shaojie for the past two days? Are you still mad at him?"

Mu Xiaoxiao snorted, "He's not even worth getting mad at!"

Han Qiqing was speechless.

They are clearly still at loggerheads with each other!

No wonder Great Master Yin was in a bad mood these past two days. Clearly, it was because Xiaoxiao was being lukewarm toward him.

Finally, they reached the hospital.

Upon reaching the door to the ward, they met the nurse.

With a smile on her face, the nurse cordially reminded them, "Student Lu is not inside. He's in the doctor's office."

Han Qiqing stopped in her tracks as she showed Mu Xiaoxiao a meaningful smile. "Xiaoxiao…"

How could Mu Xiaoxiao not understand her intentions?

She waved her hand and said, "Go look for him then. I'll go in and see Auntie Lu."

"Then, you can talk to Auntie first, and I will come back with Lu Yichen to find you later."

With that said, Han Qiqing cheerfully went to find Lu Yichen.

Shaking her head as she smiled, Mu Xiaoxiao pushed open the door and entered the ward.

On the sickbed, Lu Qianlan was looking out of the window as if she was thinking about something.

As Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated and thought about whether to interrupt her, Lu Yichen turned her head to smile at her and said, "Hello, are you a friend of Yichen?"

Mama Mu did not expect that she would know her. Perhaps Lu Yichen had told his mother of her and Han Qiqing in order to explain why he was able to stay in the VIP ward.

She smiled and nodded. "Yeah, my name is Mu Xiaoxiao."

"Oh Xiaoxiao, come sit here," Lu Qianlan called out to her.

Mu Xiaoxiao walked over and pulled up a chair to sit beside the sickbed.

From her appearance, Mu Xiaoxiao felt that she was natural and graceful in her manners, and she did not seem like someone who would be a mistress to some rich person.

The two casually talked about daily life in the family.

Lu Yichen seemed to have caught Mu Xiaoxiao's reservations as she said in a relaxed manner, "Is there something you want to ask me? It's okay; you can just ask. Is it about Yichen?"

Mu Xiaoxiao was visibly awkward. However, since it was a rare opportunity, she picked up her courage to say it.

"Auntie, I would like to ask you something. If it is inconvenient for you, you don't have to reply to me if you don't want to."

"Okay, you may ask then." Lu Qianlan had a very warm smile that made one feel like getting closer to her.

This was a graceful and gentle woman.

After taking a deep breath, Mu Xiaoxiao then said, "Auntie, do you know Gu Pingyuan?"

Upon hearing the name, Lu Qianlan's expression stiffened instantly, and her face turned pale.
