Chenchen and Shuoshuo, upon hearing this, exchanged startled glances. They remembered Shen Xi had told them just a few days ago that if they called Uncle Qin "Daddy" again, she would send them back to Country B.
But Yanyan had not only called him that just now, she had also hugged Uncle Qin’s neck.
Would Mommy be angry?
Fortunately, things were not as serious as they had imagined.
Shen Xi and Qin Si Ye’s gazes met in the air for three seconds. He lowered his head and said to the two of them, "Let's go home."
As the five of them walked down the stairs, Xu Zhilan immediately stood up upon seeing them and asked with concern, "Did Yanyan fall asleep?"
"Mhm," Qin Si Ye replied in a soft voice, as if afraid to disturb the little darling in his arms.
"Oh. Then you should take them back quickly." Xu Zhilan looked at the children with a kindly and gentle gaze.
"Grandma, we're leaving then. You should get some rest too." Shen Xi walked over and picked up the medicine box.
Chenchen and Shuoshuo said in unison, "Goodbye, Great Grandma!"
"Goodbye, you must remember to visit me often when you have time."
"Okay."
The family of five slowly walked out of the villa. Shen Xi held Chenchen and Shuoshuo’s hands, walking ahead, while Qin Si Ye followed behind them, carrying Yanyan. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
Although there was little conversation along the way, the intimate scene itself conveyed a sense of warmth and happiness.
Upon arriving at Villa No. 3, Shen Xi put down the medicine box and once again tried to take Yanyan from Qin Si Ye's arms, but he refused.
He walked directly into her bedroom carrying Yanyan and gently and carefully placed her on the bed.
Shen Xi immediately followed her in, helped Yanyan take off her outer clothes and shoes, and after settling her down, they closed the door together and left.
Upon reaching the corridor, they found that Chenchen and Shuoshuo had already returned to their respective rooms.
Shen Xi turned her face and looked at the man in front of her, "Mr. Qin, thank you! It’s getting late, please..."
Before she could finish speaking, the man suddenly grabbed her hand and walked towards her bedroom.
Shen Xi was so startled that she almost cried out. She immediately covered her mouth with her hand, and only when the bedroom door was about to close did she forcefully pull her hand away and shout,
"Mr. Qin, what are you doing?"
The man suddenly turned around, his gaze slightly cold, and slowly approached her. "Who exactly are you? Why do Chenchen and Shuoshuo look so much like me?"
Her heart trembled. Shen Xi kept retreating, until she had no more room to move and had to lean against the wall.
"Mr. Qin, I just said, that was Grandma's illusion."
Qin Si Ye placed one hand on the wall, staring intently at her. "But why do I also feel that they look very similar?
Shen Xi, how many things are you hiding from me? Who is their father?"
Shen Xi took a deep breath, glaring at him sharply, "Mr. Qin, did you drink too much tonight, causing you to have illusions as well?"
"No, I didn't drink too much. Tell me quickly, who are you? Have we met before?"
Qin Si Ye's expression was dark, and he looked at her with complex eyes. He couldn't help but raise his left hand and touch her pale cheek. kΑnshu伍.ξà
Shen Xi's eyes reddened, her whole body trembling. In her panic, she raised her hand and slapped him hard, then forcefully pushed him away.
"Qin Si Ye, what do you want? Please leave here quickly."
Qin Si Ye slowly turned his head, looking at her tear-filled eyes, his heart aching slightly. The hand he had just extended to embrace her immediately retracted.
What had gotten into him just now? Why had he lost control? Hadn't he promised to take things slow and win her heart?
Doing this now would undoubtedly widen the distance between her and himself.
"I'm sorry!" Qin Si Ye immediately opened the door and walked out briskly.
Upon returning to Villa No. 1, he found Xu Zhilan dozing on the sofa. kanδん
"Grandma, why haven't you gone back to your room to rest?" Qin Si Ye walked quickly towards her.
Xu Zhilan slowly opened her eyes. The moment she saw him, her face immediately broke into a gentle smile. "I was waiting for you."
"Waiting for me? For what?" Qin Si Ye sat opposite her, looking at her with confusion.
"I have something to talk to you about." Xu Zhilan looked at him with a serious expression. "I really like those three children from earlier. If you are truly interested in Shen Xi, I support you being together."
Qin Si Ye sat up straight, staring at her in astonishment. "Grandma, would you still accept them even if they are not my biological children?"
"Yes. No matter what, they are Yin Xi's children, and Yin Xi is no longer here. You and she had a relationship in the past.
It's not easy for Shen Xi to raise three children alone now. If you like Shen Xi and those three children, Grandma supports you a hundred percent."
