"What are you saying? That"s not me!" Mu Xiaoxiao aimed a kick in her general direction before opening the message.

Han Qiqing saw her excited expression turn cloudy.

"What happened? Did Yin Shaojie say something to make you angry again?" She leaned forward curiously.

Mu Xiaoxiao"s face was unhappy as she threw her phone to the side, muttering, "Yin Shaojie, you jerk…"

Han Qiqing picked up the phone and realized that the person who sent the message was not Yin Shaojie but Lu Yichen, who was texting her about the picture.

This made Han Qiqing"s expression change a little. "Xiaoxiao, are you close with Lu Yichen?"

"We"re okay," Mu Xiaoxiao replied gloomily.

Han Qiqing seemed to understand something and laughed, "Haha, I believe it now! You really have no feelings for Lu Yichen!"

She could finally let go of the doubt weighing on her heart.

After all, Mu Xiaoxiao was her best friend, and she didn"t want them to like the same person at the same time.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her in confusion. "Haven"t I already told you that? Why do all of you keep thinking that I like him? I only admire him and want to be his friend. Is this not normal?"

"It"s normal, it"s normal." Han Qiqing nodded and moved towards her. Smiling, she said, "I believe you completely now."

"Why are you only believing me now?"

"Because…" Han Qiqing took the phone in her hands and smiled at her. "Because the one you like is Yin Shaojie!"

Mu Xiaoxiao"s face slowly reddened. She immediately retorted, "No, I don"t!"

Han Qiqing laughed conspiratorially, "Still denying it? You were happy because you thought that Yin Shaojie had sent a message to you but was disappointed when it was not him. This means that not only do you not like Lu Yichen, but it also shows that you like…"

Mu Xiaoxiao covered her mouth, preventing her from continuing. "I said, I don"t like him!" she said loudly.

However, her burning red face gave her no credibility.

With an angry expression, Mu Xiaoxiao grabbed her neck and threatened as she glared at her, "Han Qiqing! If you say that again, I"m going to strangle you!"

Han Qiqing quickly put up her hands in surrender. "Okay, okay, okay, I"ll stop. Your majesty, my queen, please have mercy!"

It was only then that Mu Xiaoxiao released her.

Han Qiqing was confused, however, and asked, "But aren"t you engaged?"

"That"s… Our parents forced us into it. I wasn"t willing to, and Yin Shaojie wasn"t happy about it either," Mu Xiaoxiao said before scolding Yin Shaojie for being a flirt internally.

"Yin Shaojie loves chasing after hot chicks so much that I doubt he"ll give up his entire harem just for me!"

Han Qiqing tutted, "Look at how sour you sound."

Mu Xiaoxiao shot her a warning glance. Raising her hands, which were formed into claws, she mimed a strangling motion. "I dare you to say it again!"

Han Qiqing raised her hands in surrender.

Suddenly, she froze, and her face changed to one of astonishment. "Eh?"

"What"s up?" Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her uncomprehendingly.

Han Qiqing jumped down from the bed suddenly and ran to the balcony.

Her balcony faced the villa"s entrance, and one could see the outside"s entire horizon from there.

Then, Mu Xiaoxiao heard her surprised voice shout, "Xiaoxiao! There"s a car below, and it looks like Yin Shaojie"s! Hurry up and come over quick!"

Mu Xiaoxiao froze, and her heart started to pound.
