“Enough, all of you! Stop all this lovestruck nonsense. You’ll get it if Butler Qi sees you like this. Get to work!”
With that, Lisa headed towards the spiral staircase.
In the room.
Mu Xiaoxiao was hugging a pillow between her legs. Her face was resting on the pillow, and she was sleeping peacefully.
She had been unable to sleep the night before and had stayed up fiddling with her phone in a state of boredom. Because she had already decided not to return to China, she had disposed of her Chinese SIM card once she had alighted from the plane, and she had changed her SIM into an American one.
She also deleted her WeChat.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao realized that Han Qiqing might be worried about her and decided to send her a message. After all, Qiqing had taken care of her really well when she was in China.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao was a little afraid that Qiqing would annoy her and bug her about what had happened.
Thus, she thought for a while before she logging into Weibo and sending a private message to Qiqing. In it, she told her that she had returned to the States and was safe. She requested for her to not miss her and to not ask what had happened. She also said to absolutely not tell Yin Shaojie any news regarding her.
Mu Xiaoxiao then logged out of this account and decided to not log back in temporarily so that she wouldn’t have to face Qiqing’s interrogation.
However, she was afraid that she would be bored and created an alternate account, using it to stalk gossip on Weibo.
Because it was a new account, she had no friends added. Out of impulse, she uploaded many posts scolding Yin Shaojie on Weibo.
After that happy scolding spree, Mu Xiaoxiao lay on her bed and stared blankly at the ceiling.
The frustration in her heart calmed down mysteriously, and she felt a sense of indescribable peace.
Sleepiness came over her, and she dozed off again.
The wall on the clock read two-o-five in the morning.
This time, Mu Xiaoxiao had a good rest, unlike when she had been on the plane. Even though she had taken sleeping pills before sleeping, she couldn’t help but frown as she slept, so even though she slept soundly, it was uncomfortable.
However, having had slept on the plane for more than ten hours, she woke up naturally after a mere four hours of sleep.
Upon hearing the sound of footsteps outside the door, the eyelashes on Mu Xiaoxiao’s face twitched, and her eyes opened slowly.
The white curtains by the French windows swayed with the breeze. Soft golden rays of sunlight shone in, making the room bright and clear.
Mu Xiaoxiao could feel the grumble of her stomach, and she lazily stretched.
She then called out as per habit, “Yin Shaojie, I’m hungry…”
Before she could enunciate her last word properly, she stopped.
The sorrowful image rose from her memory once again, causing her to feel a sharp, throbbing pain in her heart.
Mu Xiaoxiao clasped her bosom and breathed slowly before she could calm the feeling in her heart.
She tried very hard to forget about those bad memories, throwing them into the back of her mind, not wanting to remember them anymore.
That jerk Yin Shaojie was scum!
Mu Xiaoxiao, you’ve already said that you wouldn’t like him anymore. You must do as you promised!
Mu Xiaoxiao sat up violently. Curling her hands into fists, she nodded to herself.
“I’m hungry, so I’ll have something to eat. Then I’ll shop and look for my friends to play and live life!”
Who the heck was Yin Shaojie? What was Yin Shaojie! She didn’t remember anymore!
Mu Xiaoxiao shimmied her butt over to the nightstand. Picking up the landline, she dialed an internal extension and asked the helpers to make her some breakfast.
Lisa was waiting outside the door. At the sign of noise from the inside, she knew that the Miss was awake and knocked on the door.
“Come in,” Mu Xiaoxiao said.
