"Dr. Shen, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to see you again." Su Chengyu said, one hand in his pocket, the corners of his lips curving upwards.
Shen Xi pressed the lock screen button, gripped her phone tightly, and a rare smile appeared on her face.
She had been worried about how to contact him, and now they had met here. It seemed she had to seize this opportunity today and get some useful information from him.
"Yes. It seems that Young Master Su and I truly have some fate."
Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu was overjoyed. This was the first time she had spoken to him so amiably since they met.
He seized the moment, took his hand out of his pocket, and said with a smile, "Are you free today? May I treat you to a drink?"
"Of course," Shen Xi agreed readily, without refusal.
Su Chengyu was ecstatic. He quickly called a waiter and booked another private room.
They walked in, one after the other. A man not far away saw them clearly.
After entering the private room, Su Chengyu ordered several signature dishes and a bottle of fine red wine.
As he was pouring the wine, Shen Xi immediately activated her phone's recording function.
"Dr. Shen, thank you for the acupuncture you gave me the other day. My headaches haven't returned since. Come, I'll toast you." Su Chengyu raised his high-stemmed glass with a sincere expression.
"Thank you." Shen Xi sat one seat away from him, raised her glass, and took a small sip.
Her demeanor was a world apart from her previous coldness. Su Chengyu was flattered, his eyebrows rising.
"Dr. Shen, I didn't expect you to be such an open-minded person. It seems I misunderstood you before."
"Oh? What kind of person did you think I was before?" Shen Xi chatted with him, but her mind was already strategizing how to steer the conversation to her advantage.
A faint smile touched Su Chengyu's lips. "Before, you gave the impression of being aloof and proud, like a rose with thorns, difficult to approach."
Hearing this, Shen Xi chuckled inwardly, thinking: It's good that you feel that way.
Just then, Su Chengyu boldly moved to the seat between them.
Shen Xi felt a little flustered at this and was about to move to the next seat when Su Chengyu suddenly spoke, "Dr. Shen, don't be so nervous. I just have a few things I want to ask you."
Taking a deep breath, Shen Xi reluctantly sat back down.
Since she was here for a purpose and wanted to achieve her goal, she couldn't upset him. Instead, she had to show some sincerity.
"Alright. Ask away."
Su Chengyu didn't beat around the bush. He looked directly at her and asked straightforwardly, "What is your relationship with Yin Xi?"
In the past few days, he had sent people to track Shen Xi and had also taken photos of the three children. As Lu Yushan had said, they bore a strong resemblance to Yin Xi.
However, he still couldn't figure out who Yin Xi had gotten pregnant with back then.
She was a very conservative girl. She hadn't allowed him to touch her in their three years of dating, so how could she have become pregnant before marriage?
Shen Xi's heart pounded at the question, but her face remained impassive. "Who is Yin Xi? I don't understand what you're talking about."
Su Chengyu took a small sip of his red wine and chuckled lightly, "Dr. Shen, you don't need to hide it anymore. I've already seen your three children."
"What? Su Chengyu, you're truly despicable, following me?" Shen Xi glared at him sharply, then abruptly stood up from her chair.
She knew that Su Chengyu wouldn't have been unaffected by what her grandmother had said in the hospital that day.
But she never imagined that he would track her.
Su Chengyu grabbed her arm and said unhurriedly, "Dr. Shen, don't get so agitated. I didn't intend to follow you. It's just that what my grandmother said that day made me very curious.
I wanted to ask you in person that day, but someone was following me, so I had no choice but to resort to this. I asked for help, and unexpectedly, I gained so much."
After hearing his words, Shen Xi's heart skipped a beat again, and she forcefully pulled her hand away.
He said someone was following him. Who could those people be?
Shen Xi's gaze darted around. Could those people have been sent by Qin Si Ye?
That day, before the things in the ward were tidied up, he had already asked her and Si Yue to take their grandmother to the basement first.
Had he also noticed Su Chengyu's unusual reaction to her?
