Endless Pampering Only For You - Chapter 123

Surprised, Mu Xiaoxiao said, “Did you call me? I haven’t received anything. When was it? When did you call?”

“Ten minutes ago.”

“Ten minutes ago… I was still sleeping,” Mu Xiaoxiao muttered before her eyes grew wide.

When she had been sleeping, there was only one person beside her — Yin Shaojie. She didn’t even need to guess that it was that jerk’s doing. He must have hung up and blacklisted Lu Yichen when he saw that he had called her.

Oh, right! Was Yin Shaojie trying to get rid of the evidence when he took her phone away earlier mysteriously?

That detestable jerk! How could he have done such a thing!

Mu Xiaoxiao apologized hurriedly, “Lu Yichen, I’m sorry… My friend did that.”

Lu Yichen’s low voice said gently, “It’s okay. I knew that it couldn’t have been you. How are you? I heard that you were beaten up. Are the injuries serious?”

It turned out that he had called her so urgently to show his concern.

It looked like he was already treating her as a friend. Mu Xiaoxiao was happy, and her face lit up with a smile.

“It’s okay and isn’t very serious. I wanted to look for you at the basketball stadium but was unlucky enough to be blocked by people…”

Lu Yichen’s voice sank lower. “I heard about that. Sorry. If I didn’t ask you to come…”

“It’s not your fault! I can’t blame you for this.”

If someone were to be blamed, it should be that jerk, Yin Shaojie. This was all his doing; if not, there wouldn’t be such crazy fangirls.

“Are you really okay? Please don’t lie to me if you aren’t. I want to know how you really are.” It was obvious that Lu Yichen was genuinely concerned for her.

Mu Xiaoxiao laughed and said, “I’m fine. I’m really fine. If I wasn’t okay, I wouldn’t be talking to you so happily right now, would I?”

It was only then that Lu Yichen relaxed. “That’s good to hear. Also, can I ask you about something?”

His voice sounded grave and severe.

“Yeah, sure.” Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. From his tone, it seemed like he was going to ask about something important.

“Is Yin Shaojie your boyfriend?” he asked gravely.

Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She had not been expecting him to ask this. Reflecting upon it, she thought that he might have heard of what had happened today. The news that Yin Shaojie announced her as his wife must have already spread around school.

“That…” She hesitated. How was she going to explain this? Yin Shaojie was obviously not her boyfriend, but he was her fiancé.

“If you don’t want to tell me, you don’t have to. It’s alright,” Lu Yichen said considerately.

“It’s not that I don’t want to tell you… It’s just that I don’t know how to describe my relationship with him. It’s a little complicated.” Mu Xiaoxiao scratched her head, her heart caught in a dilemma. Should she tell Lu Yichen her real status and her relationship with Yin Shaojie?

“He’s not really my boyfriend either…” she mumbled.

Even though Yin Shaojie had suggested to her to tell everyone that she was his girlfriend to protect her, she had rejected his idea. However, even though they were, in reality, engaged, they weren’t really dating.

Lu Yichen paused for a while before asking in a deep, resounding voice reminiscent of a cello, “Then let me rephrase: Do you like him? In a romantic way.”

Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. “I…”
