William sighed and crossed his hands under his chin.

He looked at her and chuckled bitterly. "I"ve got something I need your help with," he said.

"What"s the matter?" Mu Xiaoxiao was a little puzzled. William was a person she thought as almost omnipotent. How could he have something that he needed her help with? It should be something really difficult then!

No matter what, however, since William had been so nice to her and helped her so much, she would definitely agree to help him in whatever he requested, no matter its difficulty.

William shook his head helplessly. "Annie… seems to have gone to China to look for you," he said.

"Really?!" Mu Xiaoxiao exclaimed and her eyes widened in surprise.

She asked worriedly, "What"s the matter? Are you sure? W-Why… did she go to China to look for me?"

William nodded as he said, "It"s true. Annie already felt like she couldn"t let you go when you went back to China previously. Also, she likes China a lot and wanted to go over for fun. However, I"ve been busy, so I wasn"t able to take her there. That"s why she ran away stubbornly two days ago without telling me or anyone."

William rubbed his forehead as he spoke of his sister. He looked like he was at his wits end with her, but his gaze was still tender.

Mu Xiaoxiao was of course aware of how much William loved Annie. Annie could be considered the precious baby of their family.

Now that Annie was missing after running off to a foreign country, it was hard for William not to worry about her.

However, William wasn"t familiar with China. Moreover, China was a huge place, and trying to find a person there was akin to looking for a needle in a haystack.

No matter how influential William"s family was in America, his family"s influence wouldn"t be able to help them in China.

Thus, he could only turn to Mu Xiaoxiao for help.

William said, "Luckily, she"s still got some sense, and she"s been texting me these two days to tell me that she"s safe. However, today… it"s already so late, but I haven"t received any message from her.

Mu Xiaoxiao hurried to comfort him. "It might be because of the difference in time zones. It"s still morning in China, so she might still be asleep. But don"t worry, I"m going back to China immediately and will track her down ASAP."

"Okay, I"ll leave it to you then."

After the dinner, Yin Shaojie ordered for the plane to be prepared.

They were going to leave the cruise s.h.i.+p and return to the Mu residence.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at William as she stood outside of the plane"s landing pad. She walked over to hug him, and she said softly, "Thank you, William."

William returned her hug and patted her on the back. "After you get back to China, be more careful. Don"t let your man lead you by your nose all the time."

"Since when has that happened? It"s always been me who leads him by his nose," Mu Xiaoxiao said proudly as she lifted her chin.

William smiled as he pointed to the hickeys on her chest and neck.

"Haven"t you noticed? You"ve been wearing this ring of hickeys around all day long."

Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked and touched her neck. "Hickeys? What hickeys?"

She immediately understood from William"s suggestive gaze and remembered how she had woken up to see Yin Shaojie sucking at her neck in the morning.

"Yin Shaojie, you jerk!"

Mu Xiaoxiao walked over angrily, wanting to hit Yin Shaojie.

Yin Shaojie looked over at William and pulled her close with one long arm before leaning downwards and sealing her lips with his.

Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned.

Yin Shaojie then released her. He was smiling merrily as he said, "Let"s go, wifey. We"re going home."
