“Come here. I have something to say to you!”
Yin Shaojie frowned, but walked over.
Yin Shaojie’s frown deepened as they conversed.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at them curiously.
After a while, Yin Shaojie walked over. Bending over, he said into her ear, “I need to go somewhere with him to do something urgent. I might not be able to return tonight. You should go with Annie so that I won’t worry.”
He ruffled her hair before walking off with Nimo.
The two of them drove off.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She didn’t even have the chance to say a word to him.
What was the urgent matter he was attending to?
He didn’t even explain anything to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. However, she remembered how grave both his and Nimo’s expressions were, and thought that things might really be urgent. If not, they wouldn’t have left so quickly.
She cupped her face with her hands and pouted.
Annie said happily, “Xiaoxiao, you’re coming with me then, right?”
Mu Xiaoxiao looked a little gloomy as she said, “But…”
She didn’t want to go!
She still had to visit Auntie Lu at the hospital…
Actually, it was more convenient to do so without a jealous lover like Yin Shaojie beside her.
The gears in Mu Xiaoxiao’s head turned and she leaned close to Annie. She whispered, “I’ll go to the hospital first before looking for you.”
“No way. How can I let you go to the hospital alone? I’ll be worried,” Annie said as she shook her head. She thought about what Yin Shaojie had said. He seemed like he was worried about leaving Xiaoxiao alone and hence wanted her to follow herself.
“Why should you be worried? I’ve lived here for four years, and this is my second home. Also, I’m not a three-year-old child who’ll get lost.” Mu Xiaoxiao patted her chest, trying to convince her.
Annie thought for a while. “How about this… Let me ask Chris what I should do and let him call the shots, okay?”
“Sure.” Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. It would be fine so long as she could go to the hospital.
However.
One hour later.
In the lobby of a hospital.
It was too late for regrets as Mu Xiaoxiao stood still and glared at the bodyguards following her.
They were all standing ramrod straight in their black suits.
One, two, three, four, five…
Mu Xiaoxiao gave up counting and held her forehead with a hand.
She was only here to visit a friend. Did it warrant such a display?
Also, were they afraid that no one could tell that they were bodyguards?
Could they not wear the same black suit?
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, and said to the bodyguard, “Stop following me. Can you just wait for me here? I’m only going to visit a friend. I’ll be back soon.”
The man at the head of the squad said, “Miss Mu, we have to ensure your safety.”
Mu Xiaoxiao said, “… Even if you’re protecting me, can you stand further away? You don’t have to stand so close, right?”
After a lot of persuasion, they finally stepped back.
The bodyguards were now about ten paces away from her. They wouldn’t be able to protect her properly if she were met with danger.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry.
She was only here to visit someone. Why would danger befall her?
