Chapter 268: What If There Was No One to Protect Her?
Han Qiqing smiled embarrassedly. “You don’t have to go that far…”
“I don’t like that.” Mu Xiaoxiao sighed as she did not know how to explain her way of thinking to Qiqing.
Everyone had their own preferred way of life. She liked it the way it was right now, simple and joyful, where people around her saw her not for her status but for who she was.
Just like in Yu Zhe’s case where he met her without knowing her status, he would not have become her friend or even dared to get close to her had he known her status.
Song Shijun, who was beside them, agreed with her, saying, “I think Xiaoxiao is fine like this. She doesn’t have to reveal her status to everyone. Keeping a low profile is good too!”‘
Han Qiqing glared at him. Hindsight critic!
Mu Xiaoxiao kneaded the space between her eyebrows as she stood up from the sofa and said, “I can’t take it anymore. My head hurts. I’m going out for a while.”
“Xiaoxiao, let me go with you,” Han Qiqing said.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, “No need. I’ll just be by the entrance. I won’t be going anywhere else. I’ll be fine.”
“Should we inform Yin Shaojie? Speaking of him, why has he been inside the booth for so long?”
Han Qiqing was still worried about her, and she wanted to follow Mu Xiaoxiao.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao insisted that she wanted to be alone for a while.
Then, Qiqing recalled that the crew in this bar was quite tough, and no one dared to cause trouble here. Thus, she thought that Xiaoxiao should be safe at the entrance, so she agreed to let her go alone.
A few minutes later.
Shortly after Mu Xiaoxiao had left, Yin Shaojie came out from the booth.
Seeing that Mu Xiaoxiao was not where she was sitting earlier, he looked to Han Qiqing and asked, “Where is she?”
Just as Han Qiqing was about to get up and find some entertainment, he pulled her back.
She pointed at the entrance and said, “Xiaoxiao complained that it was too noisy here, so she’s getting some air.
Yin Shaojie frowned and asked, “And you just let her go out alone?”
Han Qiqing sensed that Great Master Yin seemed to have gotten angry, and she said submissively, “She said that she wanted to be alone… and she’ll just at the bar’s entrance, so she’ll be fine.”
Yin Shaojie’s expression was slightly dark as he practically howled, “She said that she wanted to alone, and you just let her be? Is there anywhere in this world that is guaranteed to be totally safe?”
Ever since Mu Xiaoxiao had been nearly stabbed, he had placed great importance on her safety.
He did not even hesitate to attend lessons with her at Year One’s Class S because he was afraid the perpetrator from behind the scenes would target her again.
Though he had already driven the Bai family to bankruptcy and Bai Meijiao out of City A, he had stayed uneasy, fearing that Mu Xiaoxiao would get into mishap again.
She had been lucky in the previous incident when the Lu fellow had protected her. What would happen if there was a day when she had no one to protect her?
Just the thought of this made Yin Shaojie restless as he walked out quickly.
…
As Mu Xiaoxiao walked out of the bar, the noisy music quickly faded behind her.
The pulsing headache she had was subsiding.
Moreover, the atmosphere inside the bar was foul as there were many people who were drinking and smoking, heavily polluting the air.
Stepping outside, the air had felt much better.
Before she could take a few steps outside, she was nearly knocked down by someone rushing by. Luckily, Mu Xiaoxiao was steady on her feet.
The girl anxiously lowered her head and apologized, “Sorry, sorry!”
With that, she fled frantically as if she was being chased by a ghost.
