"How is that possible? We are all sincere people and would never do such a thing.
If it were as you suspect, why would I have ignored your calls and made you worry for so long?
It's all a coincidence. Please don't overthink it." Hearing this, Qin Si Ye was startled and quickly explained.
That incident was orchestrated by Si Yue, but she was only trying to help him, so he couldn't betray her.
Shen Xi said nothing and slowly walked towards the bedside.
At this moment, Qin Si Ye suddenly said in a gentle voice, "Actually, I called you via video so you could see if the wound on my face has gotten any better."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xi recalled what she had seen last night. He was indeed quite seriously injured.
For a CEO of a multinational corporation to hide at home every day, afraid to be seen, was truly difficult.
Last night, while he was asleep, she had even given him a special eye massage.
She wondered if it had improved significantly today.
"Alright. Make the video call again, and I'll take a look."
Qin Si Ye was overjoyed and, before Shen Xi could even end the voice call, he hung up and initiated a video call.
On the screen, Qin Si Ye was wearing a gray-blue pajama and was half-lying on the bed, a happy smile on his face.
Although there was still some bruising around his right eye socket, it did not detract from his handsome features or the noble and unique aura he exuded.
Shen Xi cleared her throat and said, "Hold the camera closer, I can't see very clearly."
"Oh." Qin Si Ye's lips curved slightly, and he immediately complied.
Shen Xi also sat up straight, brought her phone very close, and began to examine the screen carefully.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard a sudden "smack" sound from the other end of the phone.
She quickly pulled her phone away and saw Qin Si Ye pouting at the screen. Blushing, she asked angrily, "Qin Si Ye, what are you doing?"
"A kiss from afar." Qin Si Ye replied cheekily, "Xi Xi, do you know how much I miss you? I miss you so much I can't sleep. I really wish you were here now..."
"Qin Si Ye, if you continue like this, I'm hanging up the video," Shen Xi immediately and sternly stopped him.
Are men's emotions always this intense?
Shen Xi found it hard to understand.
"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. I'll control myself." Qin Si Ye quickly sat up straight. "Go ahead, tell me, has my eye gotten any better?"
Shen Xi glared at him slightly before getting back to the point, "It has improved a lot. Just continue to do as I say, and in a few more days, it should be fully healed."
"Okay. I'll listen to you." Qin Si Ye smiled, then suddenly noticed that Shen Xi looked very tired and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did you just come back from outside?"
Shen Xi then briefly recounted the events of the evening.
"Oh. I really didn't expect so much to happen tonight. Then you should get some rest early, I won't disturb you any longer." After listening, Qin Si Ye, with a pained expression, prepared to end the video call.
Shen Xi stopped him, "Wait, there's something about Han Hao Ming and Si Yue that I need to tell you.
Tonight, I learned from him that there is indeed a significant obstacle between them. He even said that no one could help them and that they could never be together in this life."
"Oh? That serious? What could it be?" Hearing this, Qin Si Ye fell into deep thought.
Shen Xi asked, "How is your investigation going?"
Qin Si Ye's brows furrowed. "I have indeed found some information. Han Hao Ming's father committed suicide by jumping off a building when he was in middle school. As for the reason, it hasn't been discovered yet.
This matter happened quite a long time ago, and it seems someone is deliberately covering it up, making it difficult to make progress."
"Oh."
Shen Xi replied softly, her eyes flickering. She remembered the cold look in Han Hao Ming's eyes whenever he saw Qin Si Ye and couldn't help but guess, "Could his father's suicide back then be related to your family?"
"Xi Xi, how could you say such a thing? How could his father's suicide be connected to our family?" Qin Si Ye's heart sank upon hearing this, and he immediately sat up straight.
