Chapter 14: She Gave Him the Cold Shoulder

Yin Shaojie looked as if he was going out of his mind, but Mu Xiaoxiao ignored him and entered the bathroom. She was even humming a tune.

After she finished washing up, they finally went out.

Even though Yin Shaojie was annoyed, he couldn’t abandon her and still drove her to school.

When they had almost arrived at Shangde High, about a few hundred meters away, Mu Xiaoxiao shouted, “Stop, stop, stop, stop! Let me down here.” Because the school was catered to the rich, it was humongous, and the entrance was visible from afar.

Yin Shaojie stopped his car, and because he didn’t understand, he asked, “Why are you getting off here? We haven’t arrived at school.”

However, Mu Xiaoxiao was already out of the car. Carrying her bag by the strap, she beamed at him. “I’m not going to enter the school with you—I prefer being low profile and don’t want the inevitable scrutiny. You can go on ahead. I’ll buy some breakfast before going in. Ciao!”

“Suit yourself,” Yin Shaojie didn’t mind it. Many girls had desired and coveted to make an entrance in his car to show off, but this girl was giving him the cold shoulder.

Yin Shaojie drove away, leaving her alone.

Peering at her surroundings, Mu Xiaoxiao spotted a cake shop. A nice fragrance wafted over as she walked past it, and she allowed herself to be lured in.

There were many pretty-looking desserts on display. Looking at them ignited her greed, and she wanted more than one. However, she couldn’t buy all of them because she hadn’t exchanged her American dollars for Chinese yuan, and all she had on her was what she had demanded from Yin Shaojie in the car.

With a tiny piece of cake selling at about twenty to thirty yuan, it was not cheap. However, there was a crowd, which meant that they were probably delicious. Mu Xiaoxiao almost started drooling from the fragrance but managed to not plop herself onto the display case.

At long last, she chose a strawberry cake—her favorite flavor– and a milk foam milk tea.

“I want this.” She pointed at the last strawberry cake on display.

A shop attendant walked over and retrieved the strawberry cake, putting it in a box. It was ready.

Mu Xiaoxiao reached out her hand to take the cake, only to be met with the attendant’s apologies. “Sorry, but this last piece has already been bought by someone. Feel free to pick out something else though.”

Irritated, Mu Xiaoxiao puffed out her cheeks. She had spent so much time considering what to pick, only for it to be taken by someone else.

“Who bought this? I was the one who saw it first!”

Stuck between a rock and a hard place, the attendant pointed at a boy at the checkout counter. “It’s him, and he has already paid. I’m really sorry about this. Do you want to try our matcha or mango cakes? They’re very popular as well.”

“No, I don’t!” Mu Xiaoxiao rejected. She walked over to the boy and tapped his shoulder. He was tall, about 180 centimeters, but she was used to seeing people this tall overseas and thought nothing of it.

“Hello, do you mind giving the strawberry cake to me?”

Mu Xiaoxiao was slightly stubborn and spoiled. Once something had caught her eye, she would not change her mind and would only be content when she got it.

Surprisingly, the person who turned around was a hunk!

He looked handsome and dashing but also gentle and refined. His eyes held a wise gaze, and it was clear that he was an intellectual.

He was her type.

“Hello, is anything the matter?” Lu Yichen said, looking at her.

His voice was extremely mesmerizing, and it had a tone that appealed to girls. A girl’s heart could be stirred just by listening to his voice alone.
