Chapter 1608: One Lie After Another (79)

Also, it was because he was the object of their disagreement that Yin Shaojie was jealous this time.

It happened when they were children as well. Even though the three of them played together, he and Xiaoxiao understood each other a little too tacitly and behaved too intimately, which caused Yin Shaojie to look at him with jealousy.

“I know… I know he cares a lot about me, of course…” Mu Xiaoxiao complained suddenly. “He knows that I care about him! I thought he understood me enough, but he’s actually misunderstanding everything. Say, with my personality, would I even stay with him if I didn’t love him?”

She was very certain about her feelings.

If she realized that she liked Ah Ze and not Yin Shaojie, she would definitely lay it out for Yin Shaojie. She would never pine for Ah Ze, much less drag the relationship out.

“He’s simply too angry,” said Jun Zeye.

Mu Xiaoxiao fell silent and gazed at the scenery outside the window.

The greenery was slowly fading as they entered winter. Only desolate gray branches hung from the trees now.

An indescribable unease flooded her heart and grew stronger every moment.

She looked around suddenly as though she was trying to find something.

Jun Zeye seemed to know what she wanted. He picked up the phone on the table beside him and handed it to her. “Did you want this?”

“Yeah.” Mu Xiaoxiao took her phone and dialed Yin Shaojie’s number clumsily.

“The phone you have just dialed has been switched off…”

Upon hearing this official message, Mu Xiaoxiao’s face turned plaintive.

“It’s my birthday tomorrow but I can’t find him. What do I do…”

Yin Shaojie did not return to the Yin residence either. Where had he gone?

The unease in Mu Xiaoxiao’s heart only grew as she could not contact him.

“He is simply peeved with you temporarily. He would never miss your birthday,” Jun Zeye said.

“Really?” Tears seeped from the corners of Mu Xiaoxiao’s eyes as she looked at him.

“Yeah, he cares about you a lot, so he probably prepared a lot for your birthday. He would not brush it aside just because of a single argument.” Jun Zeye remembered that when they were kids, Yin Shaojie would discuss her birthday with him enthusiastically and think of a way to surprise her before it even arrived.

Mentioning her birthday made Jun Zeye recall something. He stood up and walked to the cabinet by the side. He then carried a large bag over. The bag looked familiar.

“You left this in my car. Sorry, but I accidentally saw what was inside.” Jun Zeye’s emotionless face looked a little embarrassed as he placed the bag in front of her.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked into the bag and she could not help but look embarrassed. “How could you look at my stuff…”

The clothes inside inspired shame.

Jun Zeye coughed awkwardly. “The clothing… is the surprise you prepared for Yin Shaojie, right?”

“Yeah…” Upon thinking about this, Mu Xiaoxiao became sad again. “It’s because of this… that I lied so much.”

Preparing a surprise for Yin Shaojie was supposed to be a good thing. How did this turn around and become a bad thing?

Even though Jun Zeye did not know what had happened between them, he could take a guess. “He’s so smart. Trying to keep a secret from him must have been very difficult indeed.”

“That’s right… Does he think I like to lie to him… I get tired of lying too…” Mu Xiaoxiao sniffled plaintively.

Sure enough, Ah Ze was the one who understood her the best.

Yin Shaojie was a jerk!

Why did she have to fall in love with him?
