Su Lin couldn’t stand watching them anymore and the look on her face hardened as she slammed down her chopsticks.
She bent down her head, pulled out her cell phone, and pretended to take a call.
Then she smiled and said to everyone, “I’m sorry. Something came up at home. I have to head back.”
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her surprised and said, “So early? We just started eating. Why don’t you finish the meal before you go?”
“No thanks.” Su Lin shook her head and said apologetically, “I really have to go back now. Next time then. It’ll be my treat next time.”
If she continued to eat, she might just get indigestion.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t make her stay, so she waved goodbye.
Su Lin carried her bag as she walked out, her eyes glancing at Yin Shaojie.
When she went to the door, she stopped, looked back at Yin Shaojie, and said to him with a slightly plaintive manner, “Shaojie, can you take me home?”
Mu Xiaoxiao paused in her chewing, shot a glance at Yin Shaojie, and said weirdly, “Yeah, since you’re so close to her, why don’t you take her home, lest she be stuck here.”
This time, she didn’t need Yin Shaojie to pick the food for her. She picked up the chopsticks in a very calm manner as if the matter wasn’t any of her concern, and she didn’t spare Su Lin a look.
Han Qiqing had a faint smile as she continued enjoying the show, waiting to hear Yin Shaojie’s answer.
Yin Shaojie’s face leaned closer toward Mu Xiaoxiao, and he said, “Do you really want me to take her home?”
His expression seemed to say that if she really wanted it, then he would have no choice but to obey her.
Mu Xiaoxiao shot him a furious glare.
You dare!
The corner of Yin Shaojie’s mouth turned up in a smile, and he looked up at Song Shijun, saying, “You take her home then. I haven’t eaten anything. I’m starving.”
Because he had been serving the Great Mistress Mu just now, he had not even had a single bite
Song Shijun reluctantly put down the chopsticks, staring at the abalone in the middle of the table as though he was afraid someone might take it.
Su Lin stamped her feet angrily. “No need! I’ll call for a cab myself!”
Then she left the room.
Bang! The door was slammed shut.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing looked at each other, and both of them broke out into laughter at the same time, like two kids who had just succeeded in a prank.
Yin Shaojie wiped his hands with a hot towel, and he shook his head at them as he picked up the chopsticks to start eating.
Song Shijun sat down happily and quickly went for the abalone that he had targeted.
However, another pair of chopsticks was extended over his and clamped down on his chopsticks.
He looked up and saw the smug little face of Mu Xiaoxiao. She said, “I saw it first!”
“I was the one who saw it first! I saw it the moment it was served!”
Then, the two fought with their chopsticks.
Yin Shaojie didn’t step in to help and simply watched their childish behavior.
Finally, Mu Xiaoxiao magnanimously gave him the big piece and went for the smaller piece of abalone.
With the abalone in his mouth, Song Shijun looked to Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, “Xiaoxiao, after all these years, why are you still enemies with Su Lin?”
“Why shouldn’t I be enemies with her?” Mu Xiaoxiao had abalone sauce all over her mouth.
Han Qiqing also curiously asked, “Xiaoxiao, I’ve always found it strange, You two seem to have been like this ever since you were young. Did something happen between the two of you?”
She knew that Xiaoxiao wasn’t the kind of person who would hate someone for no valid reason. Su Lin must have done something to her.
