Chapter 1406: Why Do You Suspect That? (1)

“What did you want to say?” This time, Jun Zeye turned around reflexively to face her.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him and tested the waters with a question. “I wanted to ask you if you knew Ah Ze. What was your relationship with him?”

However, Jun Zeye could see what she was getting at. The corner of his lips turned up mockingly. “Are you suspecting that I’m Ah Ze? Then I can tell you with certainty that I’m not him. And as for how I’m related to him, that’s something you don’t need to know.”

Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. Instinctively, she stepped forward. “You…”

His eyes seemed to be able to see through her.

Jun Zeye took a step back, distancing himself from her. A distance between strangers.

“You’re right that KO is looking for you. But I was following you in secret before for a different reason than you think. I wasn’t trying to protect you, but use you to lure KO out. I have to catch him. That is why I came to City A.” His tone was calm and his words direct, as though he wasn’t afraid that he would hurt her.

Mu Xiaoxiao stood at her spot and watched him walk away.

Her mind was a mess.

Were things really like he said?

That he wasn’t trying to protect her, but only got close to her so that she could lure KO out?

Suddenly Mu Xiaoxiao thought that she had been so ridiculous.

That’s right. It was so groundless. Why had she thought that he was protecting her?

…

Mu Xiaoxiao was in a daze as she walked along a pathway in school.

It was near the end of class, so the crowd was beginning to build along the pathway. When everyone walked past her they instinctively gave her a berth, standing on either side of her and gossiping as they snuck furtive glances at her.

“What’s wrong with Mu Xiaoxiao? She looks so down. Could she have fought with Young Master Jie?”

“I heard that she’s attaching herself to the handsome guys in class. Young Master Jie must have discovered this and they must have broken up.”

“It serves her right. I told you before: how can a flirt such as Young Master Jie really change his ways for her? Even if Mu Xiaoxiao is pretty and has all sorts of tricks up her sleeve, she can’t beat a man’s wandering eye.”

Mu Xiaoxiao could hear bits and pieces of their discussion and couldn’t help but think how she had hung up on Yin Shaojie when he had called her earlier.

Yin Shaojie was really worried now, right? Or really angry.

Instinctively, she walked towards the Student Union building.

But she stopped in her tracks suddenly.

Right in front of her stood Yin Shaojie. He was looking at her and walking over slowly.

When Mu Xiaoxiao saw him split the crowd and walk over to her, her eyes gradually moistened.

When Yin Shaojie was right in front of her, he turned his dark eyes on her and said, “You were with Jun Zeye earlier, right? Where did you go?”

Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t say anything. She really wanted to hug him, but there were too many people around.

She was a little upset and reach out to tug at him.

“I’ll tell you later.”

Yin Shaojie didn’t press the question. Reaching out with his long arm, he pulled her into his embrace, ignoring the crowd’s gaze.

The people around them were stunned. Those who had said that they must be fighting were slapped in the face.

No matter how they looked at it, Young Master Jie cared very much for Mu Xiaoxiao!

There was absolutely no sign that they were going to break up.

As Mu Xiaoxiao breathed in his scent, her erratic mood calmed down momentarily.

She felt peaceful so long as she was by his side.

“He made you upset?” Yin Shaojie lowered his head so that his face was right in front of hers and he asked her in a voice that was only audible to them.
