Endless Pampering Only For You

Seeing that she was trying to evade the question, the corner of Yin Shaojie’s lips twitched coldly.

He stopped beating around the bush and stared at her with a penetrating gaze as he asked, “Tell me, is he Ah Ze?”

A bang went off in Mu Xiaoxiao’s mind, as though a bomb had blown up inside her head.

“W-What are you s-saying…”

She was so shocked that she could not utter a complete sentence.

Yin Shaojie stepped forward, closing the distance between them.

“This guess indeed sounds absurd. Ah Ze passed away when we were children. It should be impossible for him to appear in this world again, but… I know that Jun Zeye is Ah Ze!”

It was evident that he only asked Mu Xiaoxiao if Jun Zeye was Ah Ze because he already knew. He was not seeking the truth, but rather, was testing if she would come clean to him.

However, he was sorely disappointed that she still had no intention to do so.

Mu Xiaoxiao was stupefied on the spot and stared at him with a dumbstruck expression.

“How did you know?” She finally found her voice again after a long time.

The corner of Yin Shaojie’s lips twitched. “Sure enough, he is Ah Ze.”

Even though he had already known this for a long while, hearing this confirmation from her gave him mixed emotions.

Ridden with guilt, Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him and said, “Sorry, I didn’t want to keep it from you either. It’s just that Ah Ze said not to tell other people because his situation is complicated.”

“I’m considered ‘other people’?” Yin Shaojie stared at her cynically.

“No! Of course not!” Mu Xiaoxiao explained hastily, “I didn’t mean that! I know that you view Ah Ze as a close friend and that you would be overjoyed if you knew that he’s still alive, but I promised him that I would keep this a secret so I didn’t know if I should tell you. There were a few times I wanted to. Really!”

“I understand…” Yin Shaojie smiled lightly and nodded.

Believing that he understood how she felt, Mu Xiaoxiao was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

“Because, in your heart, he’s more important to you than me, right?”

Her eyes widened in astonishment. She had never expected him to say such a thing.

She forgot her rebuttal instantaneously.

The only thing swimming in her mind was: How could he say that to me…

However, Yin Shaojie thought her silence was an admission.

He had originally blurted this out in anger.

He thought that she would have denied it without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, she hadn’t…

Mu Xiaoxiao only snapped out of it after a few seconds of frozen shock. Shaking her head hastily, she said, “No… What nonsense are you thinking? Of course not! How could you think that!”

She felt very hurt by his words.

Why would he think that Ah Ze was more important than him in her heart?

How could he think that!

“Nonsense?” Yin Shaojie sneered. “Sure. Tell me why you went to a hotel with him earlier, then. What were you doing in the hotel?”

He wanted to see the kind of lie she was capable of spinning.

Yin Shaojie’s dark eyes stared at her.
