Xiao Xiao glanced at Yin Shaojie with a hint of lingering dissatisfaction in her voice, "You deal with it!" She knew that if Yin Shaojie remained indifferent to the situation, he would face her "special attention." After all, on her own turf, she couldn't easily let herself be bullied.
Yin Shaojie's gaze, like ice, swept over Han Yun'er, his voice carrying an unmistakable authority, "Han Yun'er, what do you think I should do with you?"
Feeling the oppression of his icy gaze, Han Yun'er shivered down her spine. After quickly weighing the pros and cons, she summoned her courage, took a deep breath, and slapped herself cleanly on the cheek. "I'm sorry! I was impulsive and didn't ask for the facts before taking action. It's my fault!" Tears streamed down her cheeks as she sobbingly slapped herself twice more, appearing genuinely sincere.
Listening to the loud slaps and seeing Han Yun'er's pitiful appearance, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but feel a wave of empathy. She softly said, "Alright, let's stop here." She didn't want to escalate the situation further. After all, as women, why should they make each other's lives difficult?
"Let's go," Xiao Xiao turned around and said to Yin Shaojie with a gentle but firm gaze.
Yin Shaojie announced to the people in the private room, "If you want to continue playing, stay. If not, you can leave. I'm taking off first. Oh, where's my phone?"
One of his followers quickly handed him the phone with both hands, "Here's your phone, Shaojie."
Seeing the phone reminded Xiao Xiao of the frustration she felt when she couldn't reach him earlier. Her emotions flared up again. She glared at Yin Shaojie and scolded, "Yin Shaojie, when I called you earlier, you couldn't even recognize my voice. And when I was stranded without money for the taxi and tried to call you for help, you didn't answer. If you're not using this phone, give it to me!" Saying this, she reached out to grab it.
But Yin Shaojie, with his height and long arms, easily held the phone above her reach. He draped his arm around Xiao Xiao's shoulder and walked out, "It was noisy in the private room. I couldn't hear your voice properly. Why did you suddenly come back to the country and find me so late? Is there something urgent?"
Yin Shaojie asked semi-jokingly, semi-seriously, "Xiao Xiao, could it be that... you've finally realized you like me? You came to find me so hastily and even got into a conflict with my ex-girlfriend. Are you trying to confess your feelings to me?"
Xiao Xiao looked up at him and smiled, then stomped hard on his foot. Yin Shaojie grimaced in pain and pretended to be angry, "You little devil! Can't you take a joke? After being in the US for a few years, have you lost your sense of humor?"
Xiao Xiao huffed, "I'm in a bad mood tonight!"
When he chose to joke around when she was feeling down, he deserved that stamp on his foot.
As they walked out of the bar, Yin Shaojie reverted to his usual arrogant demeanor, casually draping his arm over Xiao Xiao's shoulder and asking, "So, what do you need from me?"
"I need you to open the door. I don't have your house key," she replied. In fact, the more important reason was that his house had a high-tech lock system that couldn't be opened without him.
Yin Shaojie looked confused, "My house? My mom and dad are there. If you call, they'll definitely open the door for you and give you a warm welcome."
