Chapter 240: Probing (4)
Han Qiqing took one glance at Yin Shaojie’s expression before beaming at Mu Xiaoxiao. Deliberately, she asked, “Wow, the person who succeeded in becoming your boyfriend must be super handsome, right? And has the whole package? Xiaoxiao, hurry up and tell us about him!”
Actually, she was curious — a boy who could captivate Mu Xiaoxiao should be an exceptional person, right?
Mu Xiaoxiao cocked her head and thought about it. “In terms of looks… Well, he is quite handsome. He’s got a good personality, and the rest of him is also…” she said a little embarrassedly.
The more she described, the more it sounded like they had a serious relationship!
Han Qiqing sneaked a glance at Yin Shaojie. It seemed like the handsome face of the Great Master Yin now looked icy as frost.
She rubbed her arms.
The booth had turned icy cold in an instant!
The person with the most tact was, of course, the mayor’s son, Song Shijun. Upon seeing Yin Shaojie’s dark expression, he realized that they had crossed a line, and he interrupted Mu Xiaoxiao quickly.
“Okay, we’ll end the game here! It’s quite late already; let’s go and have a soak in the hot spring. It’ll be time for bed soon.”
Han Qiqing agreed hastily, “Yep, yep, yep! I was just thinking of going to the hot spring. Xiaoxiao, how does soaking in a cherry blossom hot spring sound?”
“Cherry blossom hot spring? What’s that?” Mu Xiaoxiao was intrigued by this.
The cherry blossom hot spring was a hot spring with many cherry blossoms in the water. It was this place specialty and the favorite of many girls!”
“Oh yeah, oh yeah!”
The four of them exited the booth.
Yin Shaojie’s expression was still dark. His deep black eyes were fixated on Mu Xiaoxiao, studying her.
Not daring to move closer to him, Song Shijun chose to fall in step beside Han Qiqing.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to notice someone and tugged at Yin Shaojie’s sleeve instinctively. “Eh, Jie! Look, isn’t that Uncle Gu?” she asked.
Yin Shaojie looked over. There was a man in his forties, and he was indeed Gu Pingyuan.
The Gus were also part of the Big Four Families, and Gu Pingyuan was its current head.
Mu Xiaoxiao had seen Gu Pingyuan a few times when she was little. Since she hadn’t seen him in a while, she contemplated if she should head over and greet him since he was an elder.
“It’s him. Are you going to greet him?” Yin Shaojie seemed to know what she was thinking. He glanced over at him, and his lips curled downwards. “I think you’d better not. It’d inconvenience him,” he advised.
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. “Why would it inconvenience him?”
She was confused. She looked over to where Gu Pingyuan was and saw that he was with a young girl. The girl looked about twenty or so and was dressed fashionably.
That couldn’t be Uncle Gu’s daughter, could it? Was she a relative then?
Compared with Mu Xiaoxiao’s denseness, it only took Han Qiqing one glance to realize what was happening. Her expression changed to one of disgust as she snorted contemptuously, “Changed another one, huh.”
“What do you mean by that?” Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
Han Qiqing looked at her as though she was stupid. “Can’t you tell? That woman’s his ‘other woman!’ Wait, it should be his fifth or sixth ‘other woman’ already, no? Anyway, she is his kept woman.”
Mu Xiaoxiao’s jaw dropped. “K-Kept woman? How do you know?”
Yin Shaojie frowned and shot a glared at Han Qiqing. Not wanting her to continue, he interrupted her.
“That’s enough. That’s his business; there’s no need to tell Xiaoxiao about it.”
