Chapter 151: I Like Him!
“Don’t know? Why don’t you know?” Yin Shaojie interrogated. His brows were furrowed, and he seemed displeased with her answer.
“I mean just that — I don’t know!” Mu Xiaoxiao glared at him.
Internally, she felt conflicted. On one hand, she wanted to know him better, but on the other hand, she did not.
She was confused by her own emotions.
She wanted to know more about him but also felt an unexplainable uneasiness. If she got closer to him, would it change their relationship?
She didn’t want anything to change. She liked how she felt in his company now: really relaxed and comfortable.
“You’re really…” Yin Shaojie was annoyed by her and wanted to knock on her skull with his hand, but remembering her injury, he pinched her cheeks instead.
Mu Xiaoxiao blinked her big dark eyes and did not protest his pinching of her cheeks, but she took this chance to ask, ” Yin Shaojie, are finally not angry at me anymore?”
“Have I ever said that?” Yin Shaojie hemmed.
Mu Xiaoxiao was unhappy and pursed her lips. “Then what do you want? What should I do to lessen your anger?”
Yin Shaojie met her eyes and crossed his arms. He drawled like a self-centered Master, “Didn’t you want to give me an explanation? I’ll decide whether I want to forgive you after I listen to your explanation.”
“Explanation…” Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t know where to start. She thought for a while before saying, “I didn’t mean to lie to you on purpose, but if I had told you that I was going to look for Lu Yichen, you would have gotten angry.”
Yin Shaojie’s face was stern as he said, “Why did you meet him if you knew that I would be angry then?”
“You’re so selfish!” Mu Xiaoxiao glared at him as she huffed with anger. “So I can’t meet my friends just because you’ll be angry? What right do you have!”
Yin Shaojie retorted impetuously, “The right from being your husband!”
Mu Xiaoxiao felt as if she was about to go mad with anger. In a loud voice, she bellowed, “Yin Shaojie! How could you say this! I’ve never interfered with you dating other girls; why are you stopping me from making friends? You… This is so unreasonable!”
Furthermore, they had not entered into the engagement willingly, and he had even objected to it at the start.
“Friends? How can males and females have a purely platonic relationship with each other? Are you lying to me or to yourself?” Yin Shaojie turned his nose up at her words and added, “Also, I am single now.”
Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed. “That’s temporary and doesn’t have any bearing on whether you’ll not be in the future!”
He was a gigantic flirt and had a constant stream of girlfriends. Could she even count on him being chaste for her?
Yin Shaojie shot a look at her. “Why must you choose him as a friend? Do you dare to admit that you don’t like him at all?”
Even though he had already known the answer from Han Qiqing, he still asked this purposely, wanting to hear her confirm that she didn’t like Lu Yichen from her own mouth.
However, he was surprised by her answer.
“I like him!”
Yin Shaojie was shocked. His eyes turned cold as he shouted, “What did you say?!”
Mu Xiaoxiao explained, “The kind of like I have towards him is the feeling I harbor for awesome people and friends. I admire him and want to be his friend. That’s it. Why are you making me sound like a girl who’s drunk on infatuation?”
Most people would think this way; it was natural for people to want to know awesome people and make friends with them.
If not, wouldn’t she be limited to only having girlfriends, and not friends of the opposite sex?
