Mu Xiaoxiao was originally thinking about how to comfort her, but upon hearing such a statement, she froze.

“Ah? You’re saying that Lu Yichen… Likes me? Of course not!”

There was almost no hesitation when she hastily denied Han Qiqing’s hypothesis.

However, Han Qiqing only smiled wryly. “How can that not be? There’s such a big difference between how he treats you and me!”

It was her first time witnessing Lu Yichen interacting with a girl so pleasantly and without his usual cold demeanor.

Even though she had held an inkling of the truth before, she still chose to turn a blind eye to it. How could Lu Yichen like Mu Xiaoxiao when they had only gotten to know each other for such a short amount of time?

Now, however, she didn’t want to propagate this self-deception any longer.

Time was of irrelevance when it came to matters of the heart!

Mu Xiaoxiao shook off Yin Shaojie’s arm hurriedly. Ignoring the dark look on his handsome face, she moved forward hastily and hugged Han Qiqing’s arm to herself.

She said earnestly, “I feel that he’s only treating me better because he thinks of me as a friend. It doesn’t mean that he likes me at all! How can anyone start liking someone else so flippantly!”

Han Qiqing started. She seemed to be moved by what she had said and looked uncertain of herself now.

Seeing that she had gotten her point home, Mu Xiaoxiao continued hotly, “I feel, at least, that he’s not a person who behaves frivolously. You should understand him a little since you like him, right? If he’s someone like Yin Shaojie, who can just start liking someone at the drop of a hat, would he be the Lu Yichen that you like?”

Finding himself getting unjustly ridiculed, Great Master Yin stared daggers at Mu Xiaoxiao from behind, his eyes starting to burn with fury.

“You seem to make sense…” Han Qiqing mumbled.

“So… Eh!” Suddenly, an arm from behind wrapped Mu Xiaoxiao into a chokehold and pulled her backward, causing her to fall onto a muscular chest.

She saw that the culprit was Yin Shaojie when she lifted her head.

“What are you doing!” Mu Xiaoxiao glared at him uncomprehendingly.

Yin Shaojie’s smiled a smile that didn’t reach his eyes as he stared at her. At this distance, she could see the displeasure in his eyes clearly. “You can say whatever you want, but why did you have to ridicule me like that?”

Also, wasn’t she dragging his name through the mud to glorify that fellow?

Did she think of him as a person who had superficial feelings, a big flirt who fell for others easily?

No wonder she’d criticized him like that all the time!

It looked like now was the time to explain why he kept changing his girlfriends!

“I…” Mu Xiaoxiao realized that she had offended him once she saw his dark face. “I was only trying to come up with an example — I wasn’t trying to bad-mouth you!”

She really wasn’t… She was only desperate to comfort Han Qiqing then.

Yin Shaojie bared his teeth. “You called me by my full name, and yet you deny trying to bad-mouth me?”

Mu Xiaoxiao whined and acted pitifully, “Isn’t it enough that I know that I’m in the wrong already?”

Seeing that things were going downhill, Han Qiqing hurriedly made her escape.

“Xiaoxiao, my chauffeur’s waiting outside for me, so I won’t be riding with you guys. Bye bye! I’ll see you at school!”

“Little Qing — ” Mu Xiaoxiao’s eyes were wide as saucers as she stared at the disappearing figure of her good friend.

What were friends for!

“Let’s go. It’s almost time. We’ll be late if we don’t hurry to school.” Yin Shaojie kept a straight face as he held her little hand tightly, not giving her any chance to escape, and led her out.

Unable to tell if he was still angry, Mu Xiaoxiao watched his face cautiously.
