Chapter 1632: Found Him! (3)
Yin Shaojie inhaled deeply, but his chest still felt like stale air was plugging it.
Obviously, he trusted this person’s abilities. However, he still could not shake off the unease clouding his heart and needed to ascertain Xiaoxiao’s safety on his own.
But things had to be like this right now…
His phone rang as soon as he hung up. The caller ID showed Xichuan Qianling’s name. Yin Shaojie paused for a second before answering.
Xichuan Qianling’s clear and sweet voice said, “Ou Ming, since you’re not in a hurry to go, do you want to accompany me somewhere?”
“Where?” Yin Shaojie’s voice was mild.
Xichuan Qianling’s voice was smiling as she pretended to sound undeliberate, “It’s like this: I just found out that my uncle is holding a banquet tonight and he invited a lot of people. I wasn’t planning on going because those banquets are so boring, but I feel like going now. Will you accompany me?”
Her uncle… Upon hearing her mention her uncle, his brows twitched slightly.
“Will you? You’ll be bored anyway if you go back to the hotel this soon,” Xichuan Qianling pestered him since he did not speak.
She thought that name-dropping her uncle would convince Yin Shaojie to go.
After all, everyone knew how influential her uncle was. He could be considered the person who held the lifeblood of Country R.
Could she have miscalculated?
Perhaps him getting close to her wasn’t because he wanted to get to know her uncle? This was a surprising result and it made Xichuan Qianling fall silent in thought.
She laughed awkwardly and said, “Alright, it’s okay if you don’t want to go. Take care. You must be tired and want to go back to the hotel to rest, right? I’m being inconsiderate.”
Yin Shaojie waited for her to finish her speech before replying mildly, “No, I’ll accompany you if you want to go. It’s alright.”
“Really?” Xichuan Qianling could not conceal her joy.
“Mm.” Yin Shaojie affected disinterest, as though he were only doing this as a polite favor for her.
Xichuan Qianling said, “I will give the address to the chauffeur.”
“Mm,” Yin Shaojie replied before hanging up.
Xichuan Qianling did not expect him to hang up so fast and looked a little disappointed.
However, did this mean that he was interacting with her not just to get close to her uncle?
It was a coincidence that she met Yin Shaojie and it was she herself who voluntarily tried to get to know him.
However, Xichuan Qianling’s past experiences made her instinctively question if the people around her only tried to get close to her in order to gain her uncle’s acquaintance.
However, Yin Shaojie’s current attitude made her think she was wrong.
Thus, Xichuan Qianling’s liking for him increased.
…
In the present moment, at a mall a few kilometers away.
Mu Xiaoxiao still could not locate Yin Shaojie and squatted on the ground, disappointed.
Around her was the intermittent traffic of people walking out from the mall.
Zhi Mei stood beside her helplessly. “The mall is about to close,” she said.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up and happened to see the large screen in front of the mall. The screen showed the time.
It was almost 10:30 PM already…
Country R was an hour ahead of China, so it was now 9:30 PM back there.
In two-and-a-half hours’ time, her birthday would begin…
Mu Xiaoxiao’s eyes couldn’t help but become moist again.
What should she do? She still hadn’t found Yin Shaojie…
She had to find Yin Shaojie before midnight struck.
Because she wanted to see Yin Shaojie and hear him wish her a happy birthday on the first second of midnight.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt so useless!
How did a supposedly wonderful birthday become like this?
