Mei Yun’s bright eyes flickered a few times as she said, “Oh, so that’s how it is.”
Just then, the three children rushed down from upstairs and quickly came before Mei Yun.
“Grandma, we haven’t seen you in so long. You’re finally here to see us.”
Mei Yun pulled the three children into her embrace one by one, kissing them repeatedly. Her eyes were slightly red as she looked at them, “My little darlings, let Grandma see if you’ve grown taller. Grandma has missed you so much.”
“How could you tell if they’ve grown so quickly? It’s only been a month,” Shen Xi said with a smile from the side.
Mei Yun turned her gaze to her, “Children’s growth is visible to the naked eye. I remember when they were little, they gained several pounds every month.”
Hearing this, Shen Xi’s thoughts were instantly pulled back to three or four years ago, when she had just given birth to the three babies and was very weak.
Before the children were one year old, Mei Yun had been by her side, helping her take care of them. She would never forget this kindness.
The three children were each showing Mei Yun their growth and abilities, causing Mei Yun to burst into laughter.
At this moment, Sister Fang called from the dining room, “Miss Shen, it’s time to eat.”
“Okay.” Shen Xi replied, then turned to Mei Yun, “Auntie, let’s go have breakfast together.”
“I’ve already eaten on the way. You guys go ahead and eat,” Mei Yun patted her hand.
After Shen Xi and the children finished breakfast, they, along with Mei Yun, prepared to take a stroll in the residential area.
As soon as they exited the main gate, they saw Qin Si Ye walking towards them from the direction of Villa No. 1, his posture tall and straight, carrying three cakes.
Upon seeing him, the three children quickly ran towards him.
“Uncle Qin.”
Shen Xi’s heart skipped a beat. She stared at him intently. Since they parted ways on the road that day, they hadn’t seen each other or been in contact.
He had indeed kept his promise and hadn’t come to disturb her life again.
But hadn’t he told the children he was on a business trip? Why had he suddenly appeared now?
What was he up to this time?
Mei Yun glanced behind him, looking very surprised. Many questions immediately arose in her mind.
Why wasn’t he driving? And why was he coming from that direction? Could it be that he also lived in this neighborhood?
“Uncle Qin, didn’t you say you were on a business trip these few days?” Yan Yan asked, tilting her small head, her voice soft and sweet.
Qin Si Ye gently ruffled her hair and said, “Considering you were looking forward to eating cake, I rushed back last night.”
“Thank you, Uncle Qin.” Hearing this, the three little darlings thanked him in unison.
They reached out to take the cakes from him, but Qin Si Ye didn’t let go. Instead, he looked up at Shen Xi and said slowly, “Let me help you take them inside.”
Seeing that Shen Xi didn’t object, he stepped forward and followed the children toward the main gate.
As he passed Mei Yun, Mei Yun nodded to him, “Mr. Qin.”
Although she didn’t want him to get too close to Shen Xi, he had helped her before, so she had to greet him when they met.
“Hello,” Qin Si Ye replied politely.
After they entered the gate, Mei Yun immediately turned and pulled Shen Xi aside, “Xi Xi, what’s going on? Why is Qin Si Ye coming from the direction of that villa?”
“He lives there then,” Shen Xi replied in a flat tone.
“What?” Mei Yun looked at her in disbelief and asked three questions in a row, “How long has he moved here? Why did he move here? Is he alone?”
She had only been away for a month, and so much had happened here.
What did Qin Si Ye want? To take advantage of proximity?
“He…” Shen Xi had just opened her mouth to explain when the villa’s main door was suddenly opened again. Yan Yan excitedly ran over and took her hand, saying, “Mommy, Uncle Qin said they bought two little rabbits at their house, and asked us to go take a look.”
Little rabbits? Why would an adult like to raise little rabbits?
Just as Shen Xi was feeling surprised, Qin Si Ye walked up to her and said, “Yan Yan likes rabbits so much. Your house doesn’t have space to raise them, so I had Butler Liu build a small house in the yard and bought two to keep there. The children can go see them whenever they have time.”
So, the casual remark she had made at Dragon City Amusement Park that time had actually been taken to heart by him.
It seemed Qin Si Ye genuinely liked the three children. Perhaps this was the bond between father and son.
He had put so much thought into it for them, and the children were so eager. She couldn’t very well refuse.
“Alright. You guys go take a look, but don’t stay too long,” Shen Xi said softly after a moment of thought.
At this moment, Shuo Shuo walked over and stood in front of her, asking, “Mommy, aren’t you coming with us?”
