Endless Pampering Only For You

chapter 68

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the time and grimaced. Looking anxious, she said to Lu Yichen, “I’m sorry. I have to go.”

She had been out for almost an hour. If she did not return soon, Yin Shaojie might realize that she had slipped away.

“Okay.” Lu Yichen nodded and asked the waiter for the bill.

Mu Xiaoxiao felt awkward. “Why not… Let’s go Dutch.”

Lu Yichen gave the money to the waiter, and he laughed and said to her, “It’s fine. How about this? I’ll treat you time, and you’ll treat me next time, alright?”

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded without hesitation. “Okay!”

Then, she thought. Next time, I’ll treat him something good and definitely more expensive.

Lu Yichen suddenly thought of something. He looked at her and asked, “How about treating me to a movie? There’s a film from America screening this weekend. It’s something I’ve always wanted to watch. I don’t know if you would be interested.”

“That movie? I like it too! Okay then, I’ll treat you to the movie!” Mu Xiaoxiao hastily replied. Then, she suddenly paused, and she recalled that he had a girlfriend.

She looked at him hesitantly. “Uh… Wouldn’t it be inappropriate for the two of us to go watch a movie together?”

“What’s wrong with that?” Lu Yichen asked her, seeming puzzled.

Mu Xiaoxiao laughed bitterly as she looked at him. “Don’t you have a girlfriend? If she knew, she would be mad. Why not do this instead? I’ll treat you, and you take your girlfriend to the movie. Would that be good?”

Lu Yichen paused for a moment, and he suddenly smiled.

Mu Xiaoxiao couldn’t understand what his expression meant. Was he smiling in agreement or disagreement?

However, she was resolute. If he had a girlfriend, she definitely wouldn’t accompany him to the movies alone. She had to avoid arousing suspicion.

Suddenly, Lu Yichen met her gaze and said unexpectedly, “Actually, I don’t have a girlfriend.”

“Ah?” Mu Xiaoxiao was dazed.

Lu Yichen had a faint smile. “I said that I have no girlfriend, so you can still take me to the movie.”

“But… No… Your… You don’t have a girlfriend? That can’t be! Don’t you have a girlfriend?” Mu Xiaoxiao could not comprehend what he had said.

If she had heard from just a single person, it could very well be false. But not only Yu Zhe, Yin Shaojie had also said that he had a girlfriend!

She did not have to believe Yu Zhe.

But even if Yin Shaojie might be bossy and petty sometimes, she still believed his words.

Lu Yichen touched his nose looking slightly embarrassed as he said, “I lied about having a girlfriend.”

Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. Who would have thought!

She immediately thought about something related and cried in surprise, “Could it be… that you used it as an excuse to reject the girls who confess to you? Then as time passed, everyone began to think that you really had a girlfriend?”

No wonder!

They said that his girlfriend was mysterious and that no one had ever seen her or knew which school she went to.

As it turns out, his girlfriend never existed!

Lu Yichen signaled her to keep quiet. His handsome face looked serious, and he said, “No one else knows about this. You have to keep it a secret, alright?”

“Uh, okay.” Mu Xiaoxiao nodded with a blank expression as she had yet to recover from the sudden revelation.

Lu Yichen looked at her odd expression, and he narrowed his eyes and asked, “You look like you are… disappointed?”

Mu Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened, and she immediately shook her head. “No, I’m not! You’re mistaken.”

Sigh. She was a little disappointed because she had initially thought that the matter about his girlfriend was very mysterious, and it had piqued her curiosity. She had wanted to find out the.

She was disappointed because she couldn’t feel the joy of investigating anymore.

“Then we’ll agree on watching the movie this Saturday?” Lu Yichen stopped probing into the matter. Sometimes, her feelings would show clearly in her expression. With one glance at her, he understood and didn’t feel the need to continue questioning her.

Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t think that there was any problem with the plan, and she nodded her head, saying, “Uh-huh, okay! So, I’ll see you then. I really have to go now.”

As he watched her small figure running out frantically, Lu Yichen smiled.

…

Back at the apartment.

Mu Xiaoxiao stealthily opened the door and carefully closed it behind her. Bending her waist at the entrance, she was very lightly taking off her slippers.

Suddenly, a shadow was cast on her petite figure. An icy voice came from above her, “Where did you go?”

Mu Xiaoxiao was motionless. She slowly raised her head and met Yin Shaojie’s stern expression. She hollowly laughed and asked, “When did you realize I was gone?”

“Half an hour ago.” Yin Shaojie stared at her with his eagle-like eyes as if he was watching his prey.

Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly brought out a bag from behind her, and she smiled. “It just happened to be teatime when I woke up, so I went downstairs to buy something myself.”

Yin Shaojie was not that easily fooled. He smiled and looked at her doubtfully. “And you went out for half an hour? Which store did you buy it from?”

Seeing the store’s name on the plastic bag, he confirmed that it was a store from nearby.

In truth, it wasn’t that Mu Xiaoxiao was shrewd. She happened to pass by the store as she was returning and caught a whiff of the fragrance. She started craving it, so she bought some food. Little did she know that it would serve as a good excuse.

“Uh…” Mu Xiaoxiao’s eyes darted around. “Yeah! I met a Samoyed, and it was too cute! I had to play with it for a while. After that, I went to buy the food.”

Wow, this story is flawless. She was impressed by herself.

Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes. “Samoyed? I have stayed here for a long time, and I haven’t seen any before. How old was it? What’s its name? Is the owner a man or a woman?”

Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.

How would she know all this!

She hadn’t really met a Samoyed!

She was frantic for a few seconds. Suddenly, she regained composure and stared at him as she said, “What’s the meaning of this! You don’t trust me? Hmph! Shame on me for treating you well and buying your favorites. Now you won’t have any of it!”

She feigned a fit of rage and was about to pass by him to enter the apartment.

Yin Shaojie grabbed her hand, and he looked at her helplessly, “Okay. Why are you so angry? I didn’t say that I don’t trust you. I was just curious. You have injuries, yet you still went out. You should have at least told me.”

He pulled her as they walked to the sofa. He took the bag from her hands and placed it on the coffee table.

Mu Xiaoxiao was already feeling guilty, and she didn’t continue the act lest she exaggerated it and raised his suspicions.

Just as the two were eating, her phone suddenly rang.
