“Yin Shaojie!”
Yin Shaojie was shocked and he jumped up from the sofa. Running over to the bathroom door, he asked, “Xiaoxiao, what’s wrong?”
The loud sound of water from inside drowned out Mu Xiaoxiao’s voice so he couldn’t hear what she was saying.
“Xiaoxiao? Are you okay?” he asked anxiously.
He saw the “waiter” walk leisurely into the master bedroom from his peripheral vision.
Could it be that he was the one who engineered the accident in the bathroom as a distraction?
The water in the bathroom stopped quickly. Mu Xiaoxiao sounded a little battered as she spoke from inside, “I’m okay now!”
“What happened just now?” he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao said a little gloomily, “I don’t know what happened earlier but the water from both the tap and the showerhead started gus.h.i.+ng out and it scared me.”
That was strange. Yin Shaojie frowned.
Just then, the stranger walked out from the master bedroom.
He walked up to Yin Shaojie. “Where is the thing? Is it on you?”
Yin Shaojie’s eyes widened.
He pointed at the person. “Nimo! What are you doing here?”
“So you finally saw through my disguise. You’re really pro, Jie.” The other party laughed. His tone had changed to one that was completely different from before. His English accent was now lyrical, elegant, and pleasant to listen to.
Nimo leaned against the wall opposite the bathroom. He spread his hands out and said, “I’m not doing anything. I just made a bet with the other guys to see if I can steal that thing of yours. I heard that…”
He gestured to the bathroom with his chin. “I heard your wife was here and I was curious. What kind of woman can make you fall so head over heels for her?”
Yin Shaojie frowned slightly. Looking towards the bathroom, he pulled Nimo’s collar and dragged him away.
When they were in the living room, he whispered, “She doesn’t know my other ident.i.ty.”
Nimo crossed his arms as he looked at him. “I think you just don’t want me to meet her. Relax, I won’t take any pictures. I just want to see her. Everyone’s curious what your true love looks like.”
“You’re all so lame!” Yin Shaojie rolled his eyes.
Unexpectedly, Nimo nodded and said, “We are a little bored these days. It’s okay even if you don’t want to let her know about your other ident.i.ty. You can just introduce me to her as a normal friend.”
“Haha, I’ll pa.s.s on a guy like you.” Yin Shaojie turned his nose up at him.
Nimo was unhappy now. “Hey! What do you mean? Are you looking for a fight? Come on! My hands are feeling itchy recently and I haven’t done any moves for a while. Hurry up! Let’s fight!”
“I can’t be bothered with you! Hurry up and leave and don’t let her see you.” Yin Shaojie pointed to the door, wanting him to get out.
“I’m not leaving!”
Yin Shaojie was about to kick him. “Are you leaving or not?”
Nimo got into a fighting stance. “Come on, I’ll leave after a round of fighting.
The two of them looked into each other’s eyes, the tension between building.
Just then, the door to the bathroom opened and a pet.i.te figure emerged.
“Jie, what are you doing outside. I’ve been calling you. Couldn’t you hear?”
A coldness pa.s.sed through Yin Shaojie’s eyes and he glared daggers at Nimo. He mouthed silently, “Go!”
