"Brother Chen, why aren't you going with Brother Shuo?" At this moment, San Bao Yan Yan looked sideways at Chen Chen, who was gnawing on a bone.
Chen Chen looked up, put down the bone, and said, "Didn't you hear Mommy say this is an excellent opportunity for training? Besides, I have nothing to do."
Yan Yan blinked a few times and said nothing.
The room became lively again.
At the bathroom door, Shuo Shuo ran out and bumped into a man's long legs. With a bang, he fell to the ground.
Qin Si Ye looked down at the little dot in front of him, his slightly angry gaze slowly softening.
"It's you?"
Shuo Shuo's heart trembled. He could meet someone he knew here?
He tilted his head up and saw a face that was both strange and familiar.
Isn't this the man in the photo Brother Chen showed him a few days ago?
Is this Qin Si Ye? Is he the first person they identified as their daddy?
Shuo Shuo forgot the pain of falling and stared straight at Qin Si Ye with his bright big eyes.
The man in front of him was even more handsome than in the photo. If he were truly their daddy, how wonderful that would be.
"Chen Chen, don't you recognize me? Hurry up and get up, does it hurt?" Qin Si Ye's tone became even gentler as he reached out and slowly pulled him up.
"No... no, I'm fine. Thank you, Uncle Qin." Shuo Shuo trembled slightly and replied politely.
He knew that Qin Si Ye had mistaken him for Brother Chen, who had visited him that day.
He was about to correct him: Uncle Qin, I'm not Chen Chen, I'm Shuo Shuo.
Shen Xi's voice suddenly came from behind him, "Chen Chen, why are you taking so long to go to the bathroom?"
Walking forward, Shen Xi looked sideways at Qin Si Ye and said proactively,
"Mr. Qin, I apologize. The child is too rash when walking, it made you laugh."
"It's nothing. It's also my fault for blocking his sight." Qin Si Ye's lips curved slightly, and his gaze rested on her warmly.
For a moment, Shen Xi didn't know how to respond. She could only look down at Shuo Shuo and say, "Chen Chen, go back to the private room first!"
Shuo Shuo wondered why his mommy was also calling him Chen Chen. Did she not want Qin Si Ye to know that she had several children?
Before leaving, he took another deep look at Qin Si Ye, nodded slightly at him, and then turned to leave.
"What a coincidence, Dr. Shen is also dining here tonight." After watching the child's small figure enter the private room, Qin Si Ye spoke first.
"Yes. I'm meeting with a long-time friend." Shen Xi smiled faintly.
Hearing this, Qin Si Ye's eyes lit up, "Dr. Shen, were you also from City K before?"
Shen Xi was startled. She didn't expect that an inadvertent remark would expose her.
But it didn't matter. No matter how thorough her records were, there would always be times when they couldn't be kept secret. It was better to admit it frankly.
"This is my hometown," Shen Xi replied with a calm expression.
"Oh? So that's how it is." Qin Si Ye stared at her intently.
He seemed to see the figure of another woman in her.
Shen Xi felt a shiver from his gaze. She lightly brushed her hair and nodded at him, "Mr. Qin, I have something to do, goodbye!"
As soon as she turned around, perhaps because the floor was too slippery, or perhaps due to the alcohol, Shen Xi lost her footing and stumbled to the side.
Just as she was about to fall, she was caught steadily by the man's strong arms.
"Ah!" Shen Xi exclaimed.
"How are you?" Qin Si Ye quickly steadied her body and asked with concern.
A familiar scent that had been absent for a long time made him momentarily lose his senses. A hint of sweat broke out on his palm as he held her.
This feeling was not only like Yin Xi, but also like the woman from five years ago.
What was wrong with him? Why did Shen Xi give him this feeling? Was he having a mental breakdown?
At this moment, Shen Xi felt a wave of nausea from her stomach, and she bent over, almost spitting.
Qin Si Ye's heart tightened, and he reached out to her again. Shen Xi, however, reflexively retreated.
Suddenly, a woman's surprised voice came from behind, "Si Ye, Dr. Shen, what are you doing?"
