One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire's Sweet Love Chapter 3311: Sudden Changes (52)

Chapter 3311: Sudden Changes (52)

While Youyou was cooking noodles, Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ sneaked into the nursery to peek at Xiao Yueyao. As expected, she saw the child sleeping soundly in the crib!

She had her thumb in her mouth as she slept soundly.

Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ carefully removed her finger from her mouth. When Yueyao opened her mouth, a soft bubble burst with a loud pop!

She found it extremely curious. With a light poke of her finger, the bubble in her mouth burst just like that. Yueyao unconsciously put her finger back into her mouth again, and continued sucking on it.

Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ left it as it was and got up to leave the room quietly.

After having some food, which did not exactly count as lunch, Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ headed into the cloakroom to pick out an outfit. When Mu Xi arrived in the afternoon, Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ had already prepared everything. She handed Mu Xi the gift box containing the necklace and said, "Take a look."

Mu Xi took the box from her curiously and opened it. Her eyes fell on the beautiful necklace inside.

"This is…"

"This is my contribution to the auction tonight, at the charity party."

As she said this, she showed how heartbroken she was by placing her hand on her chest and saying, "To be honest, I can't bear to part with it! Sigh, I quite like this necklace! Isn't it a pity to just auction it off like that?"

Mu Xi's lips quivered. She looked up at Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ and opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out.

Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ kept staring at the necklace, looking extremely reluctant to part with it, hence she did not notice Mu Xi's expression.

Mu Xi helped her put on her makeup and change into a simple dress. This dress was custom-made by a famous brand name, but it was not considered an evening gown. It was in a typical socialite style.

For a charity gala, she didn't have to be dressed to the nines and to look more beautiful than all the others, she just needed to look mature and presentable.

After all, it was not an award ceremony, where it was about glory and dignity. The purpose of this event was charity, it wasn't a beauty contest.

Mu Xi had been looking troubled throughout this time, and Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ had noticed this for a while. Ever since she arrived in the afternoon, she had seemed distracted. It looked as though she wanted to say something, but she also looked hesitant.

She asked suspiciously, "Mu Xi, what's wrong with you?"

"Huh?"

"I can see you're distracted. You seem to have something on your mind."

Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ summoned her to sit on the sofa. Mu Xi hesitated for a long time before she finally dawdled over to sit beside her. However, she looked restless. The room was air-conditioned, but there was a sprinkling of perspiration across her forehead. Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ thought that she could be feeling unwell.

"Are you feeling ill?"

"No… no…" She frantically waved her hands to explain, but her words were incoherent.

Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ laughed. "Mu Xi, if you're feeling unwell, you don't have to specially accompany me. Go home early and take a rest."

She was genuinely concerned.

She was really concerned about her and worried that the girl might be sick and still insisted on being fine.

Mu Xi was especially upset when she heard that. She looked up at Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+'s sincere expression and suddenly felt disgusted with herself!

Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ treated her so well, yet she actually… used her…

Mu Xi clutched the corner of her s.h.i.+rt tightly. Her eyes were red and her lips were trembling, but she held back her tears.

Oh, no!

Should she come clean?

She was extremely conflicted. She felt that no matter what decision she made, it seemed wrong!
