Qin Si Ye listened to her tearful accusations, his expression growing darker. "Lu Yu Shan, you don't need to put on a show of pathetic devotion for me. Do you think I'm blind? You know exactly what you've done.
Besides, there was never any affection between us. That incident was purely an accident. As I said, I will provide you with financial compensation."
"I said I don't want it, I only want you!" Lu Yu Shan's voice suddenly rose a few decibels. "What have I done? Don't scare me, speak clearly!"
This woman was truly shameless. After doing so many improper things, she could still speak with such righteous indignation.
Qin Si Ye's gaze was icy, his voice indifferent. "Tonight, if you hadn't troubled Shen Xi, would she have resorted to such measures against you?
Also, why are you involved with Su Cheng Yu? What is your relationship?
And the kind of people you usually associate with, your indecent behavior – do you think I'm unaware of all this?"
Hearing this, Lu Yu Shan's heart trembled. So, he had been investigating her all along. She hastily explained, "Si Ye, it's not what you think. I... I was doing it for work..."
Before she could finish, Qin Si Ye had already hung up the phone.
When Qin Si Ye entered the infusion room where Shuo Shuo was staying, carrying the cake, he saw Shuo Shuo already asleep. Shen Xi sat by the bedside, her hand supporting her cheek, dozing off.
Hearing the door open, she slowly lifted her head and said in a low voice, "You're back. Thank you for your hard work!"
Qin Si Ye walked over gently and placed the cake on the table. He glanced at the other bed not far away. "You go rest over there for a bit. I'll watch Chen Chen."
"No need. I just dozed off a moment ago, I'm much better now." Shen Xi smiled faintly at him. "You've been busy all night, you should go rest over there."
Qin Si Ye remained standing, "I'm not tired."
Just then, the little one on the bed stirred slightly and opened his eyes. Seeing Qin Si Ye standing before him, his face instantly lit up with a smile. "Uncle Qin, you're back."
"Mm." Qin Si Ye looked at him with gentle eyes.
Shen Xi helped him sit up.
Qin Si Ye glanced at the three small cakes on the table. "When I left, I forgot to ask what flavors you liked, so I bought three: chocolate, matcha, and fruit."
Upon hearing this, Shuo Shuo's eyes reddened with emotion. "Thank you, Uncle Qin. I like all three."
Shen Xi, however, was startled. She hadn't paid attention earlier, but Qin Si Ye had actually bought three.
The critical point was that these three flavors perfectly matched the preferences of the three children.
Chen Chen liked matcha, Shuo Shuo liked chocolate, and Yan Yan liked fruit.
"Mr. Qin, you've spent too much. He can't possibly eat all of this at once."
"It's alright. If he can't finish it, he can take it home and put it in the refrigerator. He can eat it with Yan Yan tomorrow." Qin Si Ye was very pleased after hearing Shuo Shuo's answer.
Shen Xi said no more. She picked up the chocolate box, opened it, and personally fed Shuo Shuo.
Taking a bite, Shuo Shuo exclaimed excitedly, "Wow! This is so delicious! This must be the best cake I've ever eaten in my life! Uncle Qin, where did you buy this cake?"
Qin Si Ye's mood brightened at his words, but he did not reveal the name of the cake shop.
"It's a very famous cake shop. If you like it, just tell me when you want to eat it again, and I'll buy it for you."
Shen Xi heard this and thought Shuo Shuo's flattery was a bit too obvious, and it seemed to be well-received by a certain someone.
"Although the cake is delicious, it's still sweet. Eating too much is bad for your teeth." Shen Xi put another piece into his mouth.
"It's okay, Mommy, I don't eat it every day." Shuo Shuo was nonchalant. After swallowing, he looked at Qin Si Ye, "Uncle Qin, how will we stay in touch from now on?"
