2403. Chapter 2403 Conspiracy 15

After hearing my words, Lao Ma slowly lifted her head and looked at me; only after a long while did she say, 'Oh.'

I thought Lao Ma would ask me where I was going, why, who I was meeting, when I'd be back, and so on, but I never expected that Lao Ma would simply utter just that one 'oh'.

Based solely on that 'oh' from Lao Ma, I really couldn't tell whether she had agreed to my request or not.

I really couldn't fathom Lao Ma's thoughts.

But I didn't dare to ask.

So I kept my head lowered, standing beside Lao Ma.

Just then, Liu Xi returned; as soon as he came back and saw me standing in front of Lao Ma, he asked, 'Sister, did you make Lao Ma angry again?'

After hearing Liu Xi's words, I gave him a heavy roll of my eyes and said nothing.

After seeing my expression, Liu Xi then walked over to Lao Ma and asked, 'Lao Ma, what's wrong with Xuanxuan again?'

'Nothing, I just told Lao Ma I have something to do and need to go out tonight.' I glared at Liu Xi again and said.

Upon hearing my words, Liu Xi seemed to become even more nervous.

It seemed even Liu Xi doubted me; I thought to myself, then Lao Ma must surely be suspicious as well.

So I hurriedly said to Lao Ma, 'Mom, I'm not going out to see Shangguan Yun, really; I hope you can believe me. Moreover, if I really were going to see Shangguan Yun, I might come back later tonight.'

Lao Ma merely looked at me without speaking, and Liu Xi followed her gaze, also looking at me.

It seemed the more I explained, the less clear it became.

'Mom, I, I really am not going to see Shangguan Yun; I hope you can believe me?' I said anxiously.

'Alright, I believe you. I never said you were going to see him. Besides, I've already told you before—some things I can only say to you, and I can't be trailing behind you all day reminding you, let alone stopping you from going out; I certainly can't stop you from going to school.' Lao Ma let out a faint sigh and said lightly.
