Xiaoxiao straightened herself and reached to tidy her somewhat disheveled hair, offering him a light laugh. "Just got bored and thought of this..."
Only then did Mu Zisu nod, unsure whether he believed her or not, yet he didn't pursue any further questions. He glanced around, not seeing Mu Zixuan's figure, and once again turned his attention to Xiaoxiao. "Where's Shanshan?"
Xiaoxiao perked up, blinking twice as she said with feigned nonchalance, "She mentioned she was going out to meet a friend, shouldn't be long, she might be back soon..." Xiaoxiao thought to herself, Shanshan was off to settle the score with Pei Mojing, not for tea and chat, so it shouldn't take too long...
She hoped Shanshan would return soon, so as not to give them away. Lying to Mu Zisu really was quite a pressure.
Mu Zisu didn't suspect anything, nodded, and rose from the sofa. "I'm going to the study..."
"Oh..." Xiaoxiao stole a couple of glances at him, having thought he would sit for a while longer.
