Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, and she then asked, “Then, have you… really not had any feelings for her? Not even a shred of it?”

Though she pretended to not care, she thought, Humph! Even if it"s just a shred of it, then I won"t want him anymore!

However, she saw Yin Shaojie staring at her resolutely as he said, “No, not even a shred.”

Yin Shaojie closed his eyes, furrowing his brows, and he pinched the s.p.a.ce between his brows again.

Mu Xiaoxiao was thinking about something, and she had not seen him acting odd.

In her mind, two little people were quarreling.

One of them said, “The matter has already been made clear that it was all a misunderstanding. There is nothing between him and An Zhixin, nor does he have any feelings for her. All the nice treatment toward her was only to clarify the matter of seven years ago.”

Hearing this line of thought, it seems that there was no reason not to forgive him.

However, the second little person said, “But he caused you to cry so many tears. He hurt your heart so deeply. Even if it was just a misunderstanding, your tears and your broken heart were all real!”

“She should not just forget it and forgive him so easily.”

Upon consideration, it seemed right too.

He had caused her to go through such a painful ordeal, to have shed so many tears, and he had left her with an awful memory.

Thinking that she had never been so upset in the 16 years that she had lived, there was still some trauma on Mu Xiaoxiao that made her afraid to fall in love with someone.

“I need time to think. I can"t just forgive you like this…” She said as she lifted her head to look at him.

At this moment, Mu Xiaoxiao realized something was amiss. Yin Shaojie was hanging his head down, his face and lips seeming pale. He was using his hand to support his forehead with his eyes closed, and his brows were knitted tightly as if it could pinch a housefly to death.

“Hey, what"s the matter with you? Are you not feeling well?”

She was slightly worried. Just as she was about to get up and go over to him to have a look, she paused when she remembered how black-bellied he could be.

Was he feigning illness? Was he trying to make me go soft hearted and voluntarily walk to him like a lamb delivered into the mouth of a tiger?

No way!

Given his cunningness, she must not play right into his hands.

“Are you trying to trick me so that I would go over there? I won"t believe you. I"m telling you, you have lost all your trustworthiness! If you want me to believe you, you must be more honest from now onwards, understand?”

She waited for awhile, but there was no sign of movement from him.

Mu Xiaoxiao began to worry again. Why did it seem like he had fainted?

That couldn"t be, right? How would that be possible?

He was still well a moment ago. Why would he be feeling unwell all of a sudden?

Could he have been enduring it the entire time?

Mu Xiaoxiao was half-worried and half-suspicious, but she didn"t dare to go over to him.

If she were to fall for his scheme again, then she would definitely feel really stupid!

“Hey!” she called out. The scales in her heart tilted toward the side of being worried for him.

What if he has really fainted?

Screw it!

Mu Xiaoxiao stopped struggling with herself and said to him, “Yin Shaojie, if you dare to cheat me again, I won"t ever bother with you! I absolutely won"t bother with you!”

With that said, he slowly walked to him.

As she moved closer, Mu Xiaoxiao reached out her hand to touch him. “Why are you…”

Before she could finish speaking, Yin Shaojie swayed and fell on the sofa.

Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. “Yin Shaojie!”

She went to him frantically to check on his situation.

He looks really pale!

Noticing the sweat all over his head, she quickly placed her hand on his forehead to check—it was really hot!
