When Mu Xiaoxiao reacted to it, her face had traces of embarrassment as she shrunk back and asked him, “What are you trying to do?”
The mood seemed appropriate. He couldn’t be thinking of… kissing her, right?
Mu Xiaoxiao’s heart thumped.
However, Yin Shaojie’s long arm reached past her and pulled down the seatbelt as he teased, “I was going to help you fasten your seatbelt. What else do you think I was going to do?”
Mu Xiaoxiao pressed his face back with her palm as she said in a huff, “Go away! I can fasten it myself.”
Yin Shaojie returned to his seat, smiling as he watched her fuming little face.
After ensuring that she had fastened her seat belt, he started the car.
When they were back at the condominium, it was already quite late.
The moment Mu Xiaoxiao entered the living room, she threw herself onto the sofa like usual.
“I’m hungry…”
As he placed the keys on the table, Yin Shaojie, who was talking to someone over the phone, casually glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao.
“Give me the results of the investigation tomorrow as soon as possible…”
Having heard the last sentence that he said, Mu Xiaoxiao, who was lying on the sofa, turned around and sit up to look at him.
Yin Shaojie hung up the phone as he looked at her and asked, “What do you want to eat? There are not many takeouts available at this time.”
However, Mu Xiaoxiao asked instead, “Are you going to investigate An Zhixin’s father?”
When he had said earlier that he would help An Zhixin, did he intend to continue helping her in the future instead of simply helping her for just this once?
“Yeah,” Yin Shaojie nodded and said, “you saw for yourself her family circumstances. She cannot continue like this.”
Mu Xiaoxiao had nothing else to say. She pulled a pillow to hug it, lowering her head looking like she was thinking about something.
Yin Shaojie sat beside her, and he rubbed her head.
“What’s going on in your little head again?”
Mu Xiaoxiao brushed off his hand, appearing frustrated as she said, “Stop messing up my hair! Go away!”
Yin Shaojie stared at her for a moment, then he said in a more serious tone, “Do you think I am mistaken that An Zhixin was the one who had saved me seven years ago?”
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him without saying anything, waiting for him to continue talking.
Although she did consider that possibility before…
It had been a desperate situation, as he had fainted the moment he had gotten up from the water. The first person he saw was An Zhixin and not Mu Xiaoxiao, so it was possible that he had remembered incorrectly and believed that it was An Zhixin who had saved him.
Yin Shaojie sighed, his slender lips pursed as it turned into a smile. He then said to her, “Aren’t you silly! Of course I remember that you were the one who saved me!”
Hearing that, the shred of unpleasant doubt in Mu Xiaoxiao vanished like smoke.
Luckily, he had not mistaken An Zhixin to be the one who had saved him.
If it had turned out to be so melodramatic, she would have been so depressed!
Mu Xiaoxiao felt at ease. She then quibbled with him, saying, “When have I ever thought that! How could you remember incorrectly? You were still awake in the water. I picked up a stick and extended it to you to pull you up. If you could even forget that, then I really have to doubt your intellect!”
However, there was still something she was curious about. When she had gone to look for the adults and An Zhixin, what had happened between the two of them?
Why did he still remember An Zhixin after seven years?
As these thoughts came to her mind, her heart, which had just started to relax, felt stifled.
At this moment, Yin Shaojie reached out his arm and pulled her to his chest. Looking down at her, he said to her, “And so, my life is yours.”
