Shuo Shuo, with keen observation, immediately replied, "Indeed, there's something a bit off. I noticed her gaze towards Daddy was a little strange."
Yan Yan said thoughtfully, "Now that you mention it, I also recall that when she spoke with Great Grandma, she secretly looked at Daddy a few times." wAp.kanshu伍.net
"Right. It seems she's not just Daddy's sister; maybe she likes Daddy," Chen Chen whispered.
"Ah? If that's the case, wouldn't she be Mommy's love rival? Daddy and Mommy haven't reconciled yet, and now a rival suddenly appears. What should we do?" Yan Yan became worried upon hearing this.
Shuo Shuo also frowned. "Yes, as soon as she entered, she said she was injured last night and Daddy saved her. Clearly, she said this specifically for Mommy to hear, wanting to show off in front of Mommy." kanδん
Yan Yan walked around the room thoughtfully. "But Daddy's attitude towards her seemed quite indifferent. Perhaps he saved her out of sympathy."
"Yan Yan is right, I noticed that too," Chen Chen continued with a grim expression. "Regardless, we can't be too careless. We absolutely must not let her cause any trouble between Daddy and Mommy. We have to help Mommy."
"Right," Shuo Shuo and Yan Yan replied in unison.
With their thoughts and goals aligned, Chen Chen immediately opened his tablet. "First, we need to understand that woman's background." He quickly typed "Meng Qi" into the search engine, and several related introductions soon appeared. Clicking them open, the three children's eyes widened as they read intently.
Yan Yan exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my god, this woman is an international star! She's appeared in several well-known films. Her background is indeed significant."
Shuo Shuo looked at Meng Qi's photo and said, "And she's very beautiful. It seems Mommy has met a formidable rival."
Chen Chen calmly said, "You two, don't be so alarmed. What's the big deal? Our Mommy is an international renowned doctor, her abilities are no less than hers. Her appearance isn't inferior either; she just doesn't usually dress up. If she were to wear makeup and dress like that, I guarantee she'd be even prettier."
Shuo Shuo and Yan Yan quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes! Our Mommy is both talented and beautiful. Few women can compare to her."
"Alright, now that we understand that woman, we need to pay more attention when she appears. We absolutely cannot let her meet Daddy alone and cause Mommy any misunderstandings," Chen Chen thought this was all he could come up with for now. As for what that woman might do, they could only help Mommy by responding to her moves.
As Yin Xi walked out of her room, she couldn't help but glance at Qin Si Ye's bedroom. She noticed the door was closed. She withdrew her gaze, took a deep breath, and walked downstairs. Qin Si Ye was not home during dinner. In the evening, Yin Xi told the three children stories for a long time in the second-floor room. After tucking them in, she returned to the third floor and found the door between her room and Qin Si Ye's bedroom ajar, with light spilling out.
"Hmm? I thought this room was empty. Why is there light?" She couldn't help but walk over and gently push the door open, only to find Qin Si Ye sitting in front of his computer, working. Startled, she quickly retracted her hand and was about to turn away when the man behind her called out, "Wait, what are you doing? Sneaking around."
"I wasn't sneaking around, I was just curious," Yin Xi slowly turned back, looking at everything in the room, and asked in a low voice, "Isn't your study on the second floor? Why did you suddenly move it here?"
"I sometimes work very late at night, and I was afraid of disturbing the children's rest, so I asked Butler Liu to arrange for people to move it here this afternoon." Qin Si Ye looked up at her, even explaining in detail.
"Oh. Then you continue your work. I'll head back to my room," Yin Xi gasped, and as she turned to close the door, she heard the man behind her say again, "I'm a bit hungry. Can you cook me a bowl of noodles?"
"Ah?" Yin Xi initially thought she had misheard, but quickly realized. "Okay, I'll go now." She went to the first-floor hall. It was dark all around; Li Sao and the other household staff had already retired. Yin Xi turned on her phone, entered the kitchen, switched on the lights, and found ingredients in the refrigerator. Her movements were skilled and swift. In less than ten minutes, a fragrant bowl of beef and egg noodles was ready. She found a tray, placed it on it, and carried it upstairs.
When she pushed open the study door on the third floor, Qin Si Ye looked up, a hint of surprise in his obsidian-like eyes. "You made it so quickly?"
