Since he told her like that, she had to believe him!

If he had really given her a present, he probably wouldn"t lie.

And even if that had happened, it was something that had happened in the past, and she was not so petty as to bring up things from the past.

"You really believe me?" Yin Shaojie was practically in her face right now, his serious gaze meeting hers, trying to ascertain her feelings.

"Yes. Do you think I"m dumb? I saw how uncomfortable she looked earlier, okay? If not, why would I stop you from correcting her right there and then earlier?" Mu Xiaoxiao said. She had noticed something amiss and had thus stopped him.

After all, it was He Qiya"s birthday today, and it would be awkward if the truth were exposed right then.

Actually, Mu Xiaoxiao got a good impression of He Qiya when she saw her in the office earlier. She thought she gave off good vibes.

Yin Shaojie looked at her with a deep gaze.

Mu Xiaoxiao cupped her chin and smiled at him sweetly. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Yin Shaojie reached out to pat her hair. In his magnetic voice, he said, "It"s nothing. I just feel… like you"ve grown up."

He had thought that she would interrogate him, but not only did she not do these things, she had also been considerate towards He Qiya.

Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. "What do you mean by that? I"ve always been considerate!"

Yin Shaojie laughed. "Right, you"re right."

"But, say, why did she lie and say that you gave her a birthday gift? Or is it some kind of misunderstanding?" Mu Xiaoxiao touched a finger to her lip as she c.o.c.ked her head to the side.

"I don"t know and I don"t want to know." It was enough that she believed him.

"Whatever. Let"s go after eating. I don"t really like those girls around her."

"Yeah."

However, things didn"t go as smoothly as Mu Xiaoxiao had imagined.

The dishes were incredibly delicious and Mu Xiaoxiao, being a foodie, was in a great mood.

She was almost full, and was considering if she wanted to get something else to eat.

Yin Shaojie went to get desserts for her and Song s.h.i.+jun said that he was going to bring Qiqing over and was not back yet.

Mu Xiaoxiao was drinking water when she heard someone call out from behind, "Young Master Jie"s new girlfriend."

Mu Xiaoxiao didn"t like to be addressed that way.

Thus, she ignored the person instinctively, pretending she never heard it.

"I"m calling you! Do you have any manners?" Enraged, the other party walked up and grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao"s shoulder.

Mu Xiaoxiao didn"t like it when other people touched her. She looked unhappy as she slapped the person"s arm away.

"Are you talking to me?" She lifted her chin and looked at the girl before her, or rather, the three girls before her.

They were the ones by He Qiya"s side from before.

The girl was looking down at her from a greater height, but Mu Xiaoxiao"s aura was more imposing than the girl"s. She didn"t look like she was being bullied.

"You…" The girl who was standing in the middle was the same girl who had spoken rudely from earlier. She rearranged her expression and said to Mu Xiaoxiao arrogantly, "Don"t be too pleased with yourself. You"re just Young Master Jie"s temporary girlfriend. Everyone knows how fast Young Master Jie changes girlfriends."
