Mu Xiaoxiao woke up early because of the hospital visit. Also, her energy was quite good, having slept well the night before.
At breakfast.
Mu Xiaoxiao had the feeling that Mama Yin’s gaze kept flitting over occasionally. The look in her eyes was weird too, seemingly with a hint of suggestiveness in them.
Her ears reddened as she remembered what had happened the night before.
Mama Yin had accidentally stumbled upon Yin Shaojie and her bantering after their arrival — did she misunderstand and think that they had been making out?
“Ahem!” The atmosphere was awkward, and Papa Yin coughed. He even elbowed his wife discreetly, signaling her to stop the obvious staring.
Papa Yin’s gaze seemed to say “Restrain yourself; don’t scare Xiaoxiao off.”
Mama Yin beamed as she communicated with her eyes, “What’s so embarrassing about this? Xiaoxiao’s already our daughter-in-law anyway.”
Mu Xiaoxiao ate her porridge with her head lowered. She was aware of the couple making eyes at each other and wanted to hide from their gaze.
Suddenly, Mama Yin’s voice rang out, “Xiaoxiao, did you sleep well last night? How many times did Little Jie…”
“Ahem, ahem, ahem!” Papa Yin coughed violently, interrupting her.
Mama Yin glared reproachfully at her husband. “What did you do that for!” it seemed to say.
Mu Xiaoxiao simply scooped up her bowl, drinking the rest of her porridge in one gulp. Standing up, she excused herself, “Mama Yin, Papa Yin, I’m full. Please enjoy the rest of the meal; I’m going back to the room.”
She then darted away from the dining area hastily.
She couldn’t help but grumble to Yin Shaojie internally. Why didn’t this jerk come down to breakfast? He’d abandoned her to face Mama Yin’s weirdness alone, and it’d been really awkward!
She walked to the door of the room and found it ajar.
Pushing open the door, she saw Yin Shaojie by the nightstand taking something out from its drawer and putting it into his pocket.
What was he being so furtive about?
Just as Mu Xiaoxiao’s curiosity was aroused, she suddenly remembered with a start what the drawer had contained. Her ears, which were still slightly pink from before, quickly became red.
That box… of strawberry-flavored condoms was purchased by him?
Mu Xiaoxiao stood by the door in a daze. Should she enter or make a stealthy exit?
Just then, a domestic helper appeared. “Miss Mu, the porridge you requested is ready. Madam asks if you want to arrange a chauffeur to send it to the hospital, or would you rather bring it over yourself?”
Mu Xiaoxiao pretended to have just entered the room and even pushed the door in forcefully as she replied the domestic helper in a loud voice, “I want to bring it over myself.”
“Alright.” The domestic helper then left.
Yin Shaojie sauntered over, behaving like his usual self. His hands were in his pockets, and he looked as unruly as ever in his dashing and confident manner.
He harrumphed in displeasure and said, “You’re going to bring the porridge to that fellow personally?”
Mu Xiaoxiao glared at him as she retorted, “Can you stop calling him ‘that fellow’? He has a name!”
“Can’t you just let the chauffeur bring it to him? We still have to rush to school. Or are you trying to play truant again? Mu Xiaoxiao, can you treat your academics more seriously?” Yin Shaojie looked angered, and his handsome face was a little serious as he said this.
Mu Xiaoxiao placed her hands on her hips and countered, “Do you treat your academics seriously then? Don’t you only care about wooing the girls in school?”
“Me? Needing to woo girls?” Upon hearing this, Yin Shaojie’s brows cocked.
“With the charm that yours truly possesses, all the girls will be all over me at the beckon of my finger. Do I even need to woo them?”
