Do Not Approach

Chapter 37: First attempt at testing the waters

[Let's go.]

Seeing that the eldest miss wasn't just saying it as a joke and was already about to leave in her wheelchair, Mu Xiaoxiao quickly stepped forward, grabbed the wheelchair's handles, and squatted down to look at her. "Don't go. Stay with me and keep my little sister company, okay?"

She knew Qin Yi was definitely waiting for her-probably for a long time. But once she showed up, the eldest miss must've felt awkward about admitting it.

By now, Mu Xiaoxiao had become pretty good at understanding Qin Yi's thoughts.

Qin Yi looked at her with a cold, piercing gaze. Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and, with a bit of playful whining, grabbed her arm and shook it lightly. "Why are you upset again?"

.........

On the side, Liu Wannian and Qiuqiu-who had already retreated back to her bed after being ignored-were both stunned.

Liu Wannian gasped in disbelief. Never in his life had he imagined he would witness someone not only grab the eldest miss' wheelchair but also tug at her arm. If it were anyone else, wouldn't they have already had their hand chopped off by now?!

Qiuqiu's face twisted with disbelief. Oh shit, oh shit! The sight gave her chills and goosebumps. Who was this whiny, coy woman squatting in front of Big Sister? It couldn't be her strong-willed, upright sister, whose words usually hit like three gongs ringing in your ears. No way!

Liu Wannian and Qiuqiu were both utterly bewildered. But it seemed that Qin Yi and Mu Xiaoxiao were in a world of their own,blocking everything from the outside world.

..........

Qin Yi looked at her and gestured.

[How's the treatment going?]

Mu Xiaoxiao sighed. "Don't mention about it. It's like their true intention isn't even about the treatment." She was implying that the person's goal wasn't to get counseling at all.

However, Qin Yi-accustomed to the nuanced expressions of Chinese culture-interpreted it differently. To her, it sounded as if the client's true goal wasn't treatment but Mu Xiaoxiao herself.

Qin Yi's frowned as she pressed further.

[Did she do anything to you?]

Her sharp gaze swept over Mu Xiaoxiao's entire body in a split second.

Mu Xiaoxiao responded earnestly, "Nothing happened. I'm a person who's been through trials and tribulations."

Trials and tribulations? Qin Yi's dark eyes locked onto hers with a hint of sarcasm.

[So, Teacher Mu, you must be quite experienced.]

When it came to the eldest miss, what bad intentions could Mu Xiaoxiao possibly have?

In front of others, she might still hold up a big shield, hiding her true thoughts. But the person before her was her big sister-there was no need for pretense.

"It's fine, really. It's just that I can't quite handle someone stripping the moment we meet. Do you think that's a psychological issue? I feel like her problem is more... physical. That's not my area of expertise."

Teacher Mu continued telling her analysis to the eldest miss. "But I've heard that a lot of people in the entertainment industry are pretty casual about their personal lives. No, wait, we can't call it 'casual.' Maybe it's just different perspectives-some people just value pleasure more."

The eldest miss listened coldly as Mu Xiaoxiao continued her analysis. Suddenly, she found herself questioning this so-called industry expert.

She felt Mu Xiaoxiao's lectures were flashy but lacked true depth, as if she still carried a sense of smugness from the old-world courtesans who prided themselves on 'selling their art, not their bodies.'
