Endless Pampering Only For You-Chapter 1604: One Lie After Another (75)

“Surprise…” Mu Xiaoxiao’s tears sprung up again upon hearing this.

Yin Shaojie even said that she was unwilling to give herself to him.

Even though Mu Xiaoxiao only uttered a single word, Qiqing’s sharp ears caught the peculiarity.

“Xiaoxiao, are you alright? You don’t sound right.”

Mu Xiaoxiao sniffled and choked out, “I fought with Yin Shaojie…”

“Why? Is it about him ignoring you today? How can Yin Shaojie be so petty! What’s wrong with him today?” Han Qiqing asked uncomprehendingly.

Mu Xiaoxiao did not know what to tell her because the matter was too complicated.

Listening to the silence on the other side made Han Qiqing worried. “Where are you now? I’ll come over to keep you company!”

“No… I’m fine,” Mu Xiaoxiao said with some difficulty. Even if Qiqing came over to look for her, she would not know how to explain things to her.

“Relax, Yin Shaojie cares so much about you that his anger is temporary. It’ll fade soon. How can he bear to stay angry at you?” Qiqing reassured her.

Mu Xiaoxiao thought that it was best to reveal the entire truth to him and tell him about the surprise she had prepared together with everything else.

Yin Shaojie would not be angry anymore after knowing the truth, right?

However…

She thought of another possibility: What if he did not believe her?

She recalled how he had accused her of telling one lie after another. How could he bring himself to believe her?

What would she do if he did not believe her even after she told him about the surprise she had planned for him?

Mu Xiaoxiao’s heart throbbed with pain. Yin Shaojie no longer believed her. This felt worse than killing her.

She felt unable to bear such a pain. Even though they had always bickered since they were little, he had never been like this.

“Xiaoxiao? Xiaoxiao? Are you alright?” Qiqing called out anxiously.

Mu Xiaoxiao wiped her tears and said hoarsely, “I’m okay… Yeah, his anger is only temporary. He’ll cool down soon.”

She seemed to be reassuring herself with the last sentence.

“Okay. Have you eaten? Just act coy around Yin Shaojie when he returns. His heart will soften.” Qiqing thought that they were only bickering like before and since Yin Shaojie cared a lot about Xiaoxiao, she only needed to act cute and the two of them would open up and everything would be fine.

“Okay,” Mu Xiaoxiao replied mildly.

Han Qiqing said, “Oh no, my brother is back. I’ll end the call here. Call me if something happens, okay?”

“Okay, bye bye.” Mu Xiaoxiao hung up.

She stared at her phone until her screen dimmed. The room fell into darkness once more.

It was late at night now. She had not eaten lunch or dinner and she should be ravenous by now. However, she had no appetite and did not feel hungry.

She thought that Yin Shaojie would return soon. If he knew that she had not eaten, his heart would soften and he would buy delicious food for her, right?

Mu Xiaoxiao held on to this hope as she waited for him.

After an indeterminate amount of time had passed.

The light in the room was still unlit.

Mu Xiaoxiao felt lethargic as she sat on the bed dazedly, watching the scenery outside as she daydreamed.

Ding dong.

Her phone chimed with a text message notification.

She knew that it could not be from Yin Shaojie and thus only turned her head a little to look at her phone, as though she lacked the energy to even pick it up.
