Chapter 1605: One Lie After Another (76)
The text message was from Jun Zeye, asking her if she was alright.
Mu Xiaoxiao buried her head in her knees and ignored her phone.
She was waiting. She believed that Yin Shaojie would return. He must be worried if she had eaten and would come back to look for her.
She would explain everything clearly once he returned. Yin Shaojie, come back soon. I’m waiting for you.
…
The next day.
Gentle, splendid golden rays of clear sunlight beamed past the snow white gauze shades onto the hand-crafted Italian rug.
On the bed was a curled-up lump.
The lump moved suddenly and a little head lifted. Its drowsy eyes looked around the room.
The room was empty and devoid of a familiar figure.
Mu Xiaoxiao’s gaze sharpened instantly and her dark eyes misted over slowly.
Her heart throbbed with pain. He did not come back…
Mu Xiaoxiao suspected that she was still dreaming. This could not be happening. Yes, she must be dreaming.
How could Yin Shaojie bear to get into such a major argument with her and say such hurtful words to her? Thus, she must be dreaming.
Because she had not eaten lunch and dinner, Mu Xiaoxiao’s body felt very weak and her mind was foggy.
Thus, this fed into her belief that this was all just a dream.
Mu Xiaoxiao closed her swollen and painful eyes as she chanted in her heart, hoping that this dream would end soon.
When she woke up from this, both of them would return to normal.
Yeah, when she woke up, she would immediately tell him that she had prepared a big surprise for him and that she would be giving herself to him as a present on her birthday. He would be surprised and delighted once he knew of this, right?
Yes, she should have done this long ago. She should not have concealed it from him. She was such a fool.
Because she had cried a great deal the previous night, her eyes were dry and painful. Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes with her hands but did not open them.
She waited and waited for herself to emerge from this dream.
Suddenly, her phone rang, shocking her out of her groggy state. Had she finally woken up from the dream?
Mu Xiaoxiao was hopeful as she glanced around the room. However, Yin Shaojie was still missing and she fell into disappointment.
She felt empty, as though someone had cut away a piece of her heart.
The phone was still ringing. She did not feel like picking it up. On second thought, could the caller be Yin Shaojie?
Even if the chances of that were one in ten thousand, she felt her energy rush back at the thought and sat up straight. She started to hunt for her phone.
The phone had been cast aside and was vibrating.
She pounced on her phone hurriedly and made a grab for it.
However, the screen did not flash Yin Shaojie’s name, but Mama Yin’s.
Could Yin Shaojie have returned to the Yin residence?
Mu Xiaoxiao answered hastily, her voice hoarse as she called out, “Mama Yin…”
Because her voice was low, Mama Yin could not pick up on her tone and thought that she had just woken. Chuckling lovingly, she asked, “Xiaoxiao, why are you still sleeping? It’s not early anymore. It’s time to get up.”
It was not Yin Shaojie. Mu Xiaoxiao felt her energy drain away.
“I’ll get up right now…” Her voice was still weak as she answered.
Mama Yin said, “Is Shaojie beside you? Put him on the phone.”
Mu Xiaoxiao froze. “He’s… not here…”
Did that mean that Yin Shaojie did not return to the Yin residence?
