"Shen Xi, calm down. I'm heading out, and it might involve going deep into the mountains. You're still in your observation period and can't be too tired. Absolutely not.
Don't worry, I will definitely bring them back safely." Qin Si Ye immediately advised earnestly when he heard Shen Xi wanted to go too.
"It's not that I don't trust you, but I need to find her myself to feel at ease." Shen Xi's voice began to choke up as she spoke. "Qin Si Ye, you don't understand how much Auntie... how much Auntie means to me.
If anything really happened... if anything happened to her, I would never be able to live a good life. Please, take me with you, okay?"
Qin Si Ye? This was the first time she had called him by his name directly without being angry, and she was begging him so sorrowfully.
Qin Si Ye's heart trembled, making it difficult to refuse.
"Alright. Get ready, I'll be at your doorstep to pick you up in twenty minutes."
Hanging up the phone, Shen Xi quickly washed up, put on her mask, changed into a set of casual sportswear, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and headed downstairs.
"Miss Shen, you're up. Come and have breakfast," Sister Fang greeted her with a smile as soon as she saw her coming downstairs.
"Okay." Shen Xi walked over, picked up the milk on the table, and quickly drank it down in one gulp.
"Mommy, where are you going? Why are you in such a hurry?" The three children ran over and asked, seeing her attire and anxious state.
Shen Xi quickly bent down and said gently, "Mommy has something urgent to deal with today. I've already spoken to Uncle Jian and asked him to come and stay with you."
Just then, a car horn sounded outside. Shen Xi immediately stood up. "You must be good and obedient at home, and absolutely do not run around."
With that, she grabbed a few pieces of bread and rushed out the door.
The three children walked out of the main door and frowned as they watched the luxury car gradually drive away.
"Brother Chen, isn't that Uncle Qin's car?" Yan Yan asked curiously.
"Yes," Chen Chen replied, his gaze fixed on the car.
Shuo Shuo said thoughtfully, "Did Mommy and Uncle Qin make up? She hasn't ridden in Uncle Qin's car for a long time."
"It's possible. I'll ask Uncle Qin when they get back.
Seeing them leave in such a hurry, something big must have happened. Let's go inside, don't add to their troubles," Chen Chen said and was the first to walk into the main door.
Inside the car, as soon as Shen Xi settled in, she began to eat bread without hesitation.
The body is capital. She had to fill her stomach first to have the energy to find her aunt.
"What? You haven't had breakfast yet?" Qin Si Ye frowned slightly and glanced at her.
"Ah? Yes. I woke up late," Shen Xi replied softly.
Qin Si Ye thought for a moment and said, "You didn't just wake up when I called you, did you?"
"Mm." Shen Xi did not deny it and continued to eat her bread, looking down.
Qin Si Ye knew she had children at home and didn't have the habit of sleeping in. It must have been caused by sleeping too late last night. He couldn't help but remind her, "You are still in your observation period, so you must rest well and not stay up late."
Hearing this, Shen Xi's eyes flickered a few times, and she replied with a rare gentle tone, "I know. It won't happen again."
She couldn't tell him that she had stayed up so late last night thinking about the two of them.
This seemed to be the first time since she had known him that Shen Xi had deeply considered their relationship.
But in the end, she couldn't find a good solution.
Because the bread was too dry and she was eating so quickly, after just a few bites, she hiccuped.
Shen Xi felt it was too embarrassing, so she quickly covered her mouth with her hand, trying to keep the sound as quiet as possible.
Qin Si Ye had moderate mysophobia. How could she make such a sound in front of him?
Really, why did things get more chaotic the more urgent they became?
"Why are you in such a hurry? No one is going to snatch it from you. Take a sip of water to smooth it down." At this moment, the man beside her suddenly handed her a bottle of mineral water.
