Chapter 133: So She Did Like Him
“Your phone is ringing. Aren’t you going to answer?” he reminded as he stared at her, putting her on edge.
Mu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to force herself to answer the phone.
Upon seeing the Caller ID, it turned out that the caller wasn’t Lu Yichen but Han Qiqing!
She let out a breath of relief. Smiling as she boldly showed the screen to him, she said, “It’s Little Qing calling.”
“Oh? Why would she be calling you so suddenly?”
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. If he knew that she had met with Han Qiqing just now, then he would find out about her lie!
She stammered nervously, “Uh, I-I don’t know… Let me answer the call first.”
She was afraid that Han Qiqing would expose her, so she left the sofa and walked towards the fridge while pretending to get water.
“Yeah.”
Han Qiqing voice sounded like a machine gun as she said, “Xiaoxiao! What exactly is going on between you and Lu Yichen? When did you first meet him? Why would he be having a meal at the coffee shop with you? Do you like him? Boohoo. Don’t tell me! Don’t tell me! I don’t want to know! Boohoo!”
Mu Xiaoxiao pulled the phone away from her ear for a short while and then put it back.
“You… calm down. Can you lower your voice? I almost went deaf.”
“You’re going deaf, but my heart’s breaking! Xiaoxiao, do you know how long I’ve liked him? How could you… snatch my prize! Boohoo, I feel like dying now! Xiaoxiao, we’ve been such good friends. How could you steal my love… Boohoo…”
Hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao was between laughing and crying.
However, that confirmed her earlier suspicion that she was indeed fond of Lu Yichen.
“I’m not! Oh yeah…” She glanced at Yin Shaojie out of the corner of her eyes. While he wasn’t watching her, she slipped into the bedroom and closed the door.
Though she knew the room had good soundproofing, she still warned Han Qiqing in a soft voice, “You have to keep our meeting today a secret. Don’t tell anyone, especially Yin Shaojie. You can’t let him know!”
“Why?” Han Qiqing did not understand.
“Aiya, I’ll explain next time! Just remember what I said. Don’t let him know. Got it?”
“Oh, I got it. So you and Lu Yichen…”
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly clarified, “I’m only friends with him! If you like him, stop worrying and go pursue him. Okay?
Han Qiqing sighed and said dejectedly, “I did pursue him! But I couldn’t reach him… He didn’t pay me any attention.”
So when she saw Lu Yichen eating out with Mu Xiaoxiao, she had been very surprised.
She had admired Lu Yichen for a long time, but she had never seen any girl spending time with him alone.
“Oh…” Mu Xiaoxiao recalled when she first met Lu Yichen that he had been grave and stern, and he was blunt when he rejected girls. She could imagine that Han Qiqing’s pursuit for his love had been an arduous one.
Han Qiqing sighed. “Sigh, I know he has a girlfriend. So for now, I can only watch him from afar.”
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She felt a great urge to tell Little Qing. Lu Yichen doesn’t actually have a girlfriend!
But she had promised Lu Yichen to keep the secret. She couldn’t say it, not even to her good friend.
