Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t want to appear petty, but she just couldn’t smile. Was Yin Shaojie going to abandon her and leave her starving for another girl even though he had promised to make her breakfast earlier?

How could she smile then?

Trying to conceal her upset feelings, she asked, “What happened?”

“It’s her dad. He somehow got wind of her being in the hospital, went there, and is making a huge fuss right now. The doctor called me because he doesn’t know what to do, and the situation sounds quite urgent, so…”

Yin Shaojie looked at Mu Xiaoxiao hesitantly.

How could he not notice the slight change in her expression?

Mu Xiaoxiao forced a smile and tried to appear generous. “Hurry up and go then,” she said.

Even though she didn’t really understand what the actual situation was, there was no knowing what An Zhixin’s father was capable of doing.

The doctor must have called Yin Shaojie only because the situation was really bad. Moreover, it must be something that was really complicated because it was something that could not be explained properly over the phone.

Mu Xiaoxiao touched her stomach with her hand after her speech.

She was extremely hungry. Her stomach was going to hurt soon if she didn’t eat.

“Hurry up and go,” Mu Xiaoxiao said in a hurrying tone as she waved him off. She then picked up her bowl of instant noodles and walked over to the dining table.

Yin Shaojie studied her little face.

This girl’s emotions were always clearly displayed on her face, and now was not an exception.

He turned around and walked towards the refrigerator.

Mu Xiaoxiao heard the sound of his footsteps but didn’t lift her head to look at him. She continued to look down and swirled the instant noodles around with her fork, not eating.

She had been really, really hungry earlier, but her appetite seemed to be gone now.

She heard the sound of the fridge being opened, then closed, and then heard Yin Shaojie go into the kitchen.

Just as Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzling over what he was doing, she heard him talking to someone on the phone.

“Go to the hospital immediately and stabilize the situation first; I’ll be there soon. Yeah, you don’t have to do anything.”

After he hung up, she could hear a beeping as though some machine was being switched on.

Mu Xiaoxiao finally couldn’t help but lift her head.

Because she was sitting directly in the view of the kitchen, her gaze met Yin Shaojie’s directly. He looked as though he had been studying her all along, waiting for her to lift her head.

In a coddling voice, Yin Shaojie said, “Whatever should I do with you?”

Mu Xiaoxiao’s heart was touched, and she could only gaze at him, stupefied.

“Put your hand down; I told you not to eat those nutrition-less things already. There’ll be real food soon,” Yin Shaojie said, his hands never stopping.

Mu Xiaoxiao noticed that his actions were a little awkward and unskilled as though he was doing this for the first time. He even looked a little clumsy.

For example, he frowned in displeasure when an eggshell fell into the bowl while he was breaking an egg. He tried to pick it out with his fingers but was unsuccessful, and only did it when he used a pair of chopsticks.

Within ten minutes, he placed the finished breakfast in front of her: two fried eggs, a sausage, and a heated glass of milk.

“Eat this for now. I’ll come back immediately after I’m done with the stuff,” Yin Shaojie said as he walked out.

The door shut with a bang.

Upon hearing that, Mu Xiaoxiao, who had been reactionless, turned her head back violently and looked in the direction of the door.

However, Yin Shaojie was already gone.
