Yin Shaojie's gaze became heavy and there was an indescribable emotion in his eyes.

Mu Xiaoxiao sat cross-legged on the sofa, looking like an attentive primary school student who was waiting for him to give an explanation.

"This incident is a little complicated. I'll tell you about it slowly…" Yin Shaojie's voice was grave.

In a concise manner he told her why Su Lin was mentally unsound and how it was related to him.

Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. "How did this happen… Su Lin was actually…"

Raped? As a girl, she couldn't imagine what would happen if something like that happened to her.

Mu Xiaoxiao's heart tightened involuntarily, and she felt sympathetic towards Su Lin.

"No wonder she became mentally ill. She must have encountered something scary. It's just that… Why do you say that this incident is related to you?

Yin Shaojie's expression was serious. He reached out and held her little hand, wrapping it in his huge ones tightly as he placed it in front of him.

"There's something I want to tell you. Can you not be angry at me? I wasn't trying to hide it from you."

"What is it? Tell me about it honestly." Mu Xiaoxiao's heart was lifted by his attitude. She couldn't promise not to be angry because she still didn't know what it was. However, if it challenged her limits she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't be angry.

So… Did he do something that was unforgivable to her?

Yin Shaojie looked into her eyes and said, "Su Lin thinks… that I've dated her for a few days, but that isn't true. I only accompanied her for a few days because of some reasons. I thought that she would understand my attitude, know that I didn't like her, and give up. But I had never imagined that… the opposite would happen.

"You… dated her before?" Mu Xiaoxiao's expression was frozen.

Perhaps it was because she had guessed so before, but she didn't feel like it was something that she couldn't accept without difficulty. It didn't challenge her limits, at least.

"It doesn't count as dating!" Yin Shaojie denied this stubbornly. "Anyway, can you believe me? I had never thought about dating her, even if I had… fooled around in the past. You know the reason for that too, right? I could dump those girls whenever I wanted, but Su Lin can be considered a friend that I know and I don't even like her. How could I have dated her? Xiaoxiao, you won't be angry, right?"

"I'm not angry." Mu Xiaoxiao blinked. She felt like laughing at his anxiety from trying to clarify his actions.

"You're really not angry?" Yin Shaojie stared fixedly into her eyes, as though he was trying to see through her.

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and took his hand into hers. "I'm really not angry. What happened next? Continue the story."

Upon seeing that she didn't pursue the reasons for it, Yin Shaojie let out a sigh of relief and proceeded to tell her about Uncle Su's request.

This time, Mu Xiaoxiao was silent, and her face didn't look very happy.

"What did you say? Did you agree?"

She felt a little frustrated.

Even though he wasn't the direct cause of Su Lin becoming like this, he was still partially responsible for it. Also, this was a request from an elder, and she knew that with Yin Shaojie's personality he wouldn't reject him flatly.

However…

She didn't like it!

Why should her man pretend to be together with Su Lin? Why should he pacify another woman like that? She didn't want that to happen!

Even though Mu Xiaoxiao knew that this was only being done as a last resort, she was still unhappy about this.
