With a sudden realization, Mu Xiaoxiao remembered something and hit her head lightly. “Aiyo, I’ve forgotten! I left my suitcase at the security post on the first floor. I’ll go get it now…”
She headed towards the door as she said this.
Yin Shaojie grabbed her hand and stopped her. “You don’t have to go. I’ll ask them to send it up,” he said.
Looking at her tank top, he frowned slightly and asked, “You’ve been out all day dressed like this?”
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. “No, when I came back I had a jacket on, but it was so hot. I took it off because I couldn’t stand the heat.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon hearing this, Yin Shaojie relaxed a little. “When you’re here, don’t dress like that; it’s a little revealing,” he nagged.
Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed, “You call this revealing? You don’t know the meaning of revealing!”
Yin Shaojie rolled his eyes. “I said, in this country! The people here are more conservative; it’s not as if you don’t know this.”
Moreover, wearing such clothes with her petite figure and ample bosom would only invite people to take advantage of her.
Yin Shaojie knocked on his forehead.?This wasn’t his business anyway. Why bother!?he thought.
On second thought, whatever happened to her would not be ignored by his family since they were childhood friends. In the end, he would still be troubled by her troubles.
He called security downstairs. A guard sent the suitcase up swiftly.
Mu Xiaoxiao gave the security guard a parting smile and closed the door. Right as she was about to haul the suitcase into the guest room, she stopped.
Turning around to face him, she pointed to the biometric scanner and said, “Oh yeah, register my palm print too so that I have convenient access to the house.”
Yin Shaojie had believed that all would be fine after she got her suitcase and never thought that she would ask about this matter. He crossed his arms. “No. Why should I register your palm print? So that you can come and go as you please?”
Mu Xiaoxiao mimicked his stance and crossed her arms as well, having a standoff with him. However, due to their height difference, she had a much less imposing manner.
But it was alright—she could reason with him!
“Because I’ll be living here starting today. If you don’t register my print, how am I supposed to enter and exit? Or are you willing to follow me around all the time and be my human door-unlocker?” She smirked as she stared at him deliberately.
Yin Shaojie frowned. “You’re going to stay here? Who let you? Have you gotten my permission?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven though they were childhood friends, this place was his personal territory and not somewhere she could invade his privacy by coming and going as she pleased.
Spreading out her arms, she announced, “Mama Yin let me stay.”
“What’s going on?” He finally noticed something amiss, remembering the words she had not finished at the bar previously.
“What did you mean by me being embroiled in my mum’s schemes earlier? It is related to this?”
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her head. Raising her chin, she declared, “Because we are about to be engaged soon, they want us to live together to cultivate some feelings.”
Yin Shaojie, wondering if he had heard incorrectly, looked at her, stunned. “What did you say? Us? Engaged? What the heck is this!”
“Anyway, that’s how things are. I’m too lazy to explain; you should ask your mum if you want more details. I’m really tired now, so I’m going to take a shower and head right to sleep. Ciao!”
With that, Mu Xiaoxiao yawned, gave a little wave, and dragged her suitcase into her room.
