His misunderstanding would only increase if she continued to keep him in the dark. She would have to tell him about the surprise she prepared for him.

"You went to a hotel to collect clothes?" Yin Shaojie laughed mockingly. "Please, Mu Xiaoxiao, can't you come up with something more reasonable if you're trying to lie? Do you think that I would always choose to believe you no matter what nonsensical lie you spin?"

He didn't believe her.
