Upon hearing footsteps, Yin Xi couldn't help but look up, her gaze meeting his deep one.
She quickly lowered her head and naturally pushed the milk towards Yan Yan, "Yan Yan, eat slowly, don't choke."
"Daddy, you're up! Come and eat breakfast. Mommy made all of this herself, it's delicious," Chen Chen said happily upon seeing him.
Qin Si Ye walked over slowly, scanned the dining table, and finally his eyes landed on Yan Yan.
"Yan Yan, how are you feeling today? Does your stomach still hurt?"
Yan Yan tugged at Yin Xi's hand and grinned, "It doesn't hurt anymore. I slept soundly all night with Mommy by my side, and I didn't kick off my blanket."
The implication was that as long as Mommy was there, her stomach wouldn't hurt.
"That's good," Qin Si Ye said gently, then looked at the other two children, "I have something urgent to attend to, so I won't be eating breakfast at home. You all eat slowly."
With that, he walked towards the main door.
Yin Xi felt a touch of disappointment, thinking he found her homemade breakfast unappealing.
Suddenly, an impulse struck her, and she called out, "Qin Si Ye."
The man paused and turned back, his gaze fixed on her with deep intensity.
For a moment, everyone in the hall held their breath, the silence so profound that not a sound could be heard.
"When do you have time? I want to talk to you alone," Yin Xi met his gaze and said calmly.
Qin Si Ye stared at her for a long moment before replying indifferently, "In the evening. I'll be back early."
What did these two sentences mean? Was he asking Yin Xi not to leave today and to wait for him to return in the evening?
When everyone realized this, they all let out a sigh of relief.
A look of surprise also appeared on Yin Xi's face, and her heart was filled with a surge of joy.
How could she not be happy that he agreed to let her stay one more day to be with the children?
At that moment, Shuo Shuo suddenly climbed down from his chair, grabbed a piece of cake, and "deng deng" ran to Qin Si Ye, offering it to him as he was about to turn.
"Daddy, take a piece of cake to eat on the road. It tastes really good, even better than those from specialty stores."
Qin Si Ye hesitated slightly, but seeing his expectant little eyes, he reached out and accepted it, "Okay."
"Daddy, I have a Rubik's Cube class today. Can you let Mommy take me?" Shuo Shuo raised his small head and promptly stated his request.
What does it mean to have your hands tied by receiving favors?
Qin Si Ye was probably experiencing it most profoundly at that moment.
"Yes," what else could he say but agree?
Just as he turned and took a step forward, Chen Chen called out to him again.
"Daddy, wait a moment."
He took a bottle of yogurt and quickly ran to Qin Si Ye, stuffing it into his other hand.
"The cake is a bit dry, take a cup of milk with you."
Qin Si Ye frowned as he looked at him, "Do you have any requests too?"
"No. I'm purely concerned about Daddy's health," Chen Chen smiled innocently at him.
After Qin Si Ye left the hall, Butler Liu and the maids all wore relaxed smiles.
The two young masters were so adorable.
After breakfast, Yin Xi took Shuo Shuo to Qimeng Rubik's Cube.
She had been delayed a little earlier and needed to hurry, otherwise, she would be late.
Fortunately, as she pulled Shuo Shuo out of the elevator, she glanced at her watch and saw that they were still a minute early.
She had always been very punctual. Shuo Shuo had only attended class here a few times, and she absolutely couldn't be late and give the teacher a bad impression.
Yin Xi knocked on Jin Jingchen's office door. As soon as she walked in, she saw the man stand up from his chair and say heartily, "You've arrived right on time."
"I apologize, Principal Jin. I was delayed by some matters at home," Yin Xi removed her black mask and gave him a charming smile.
The man's steps faltered as he approached. His eyes fixed on her intensely, and after a moment, he exclaimed in surprise, "Yin Xi?"
Upon hearing this, Yin Xi's heart leaped.
Ever since Su Chengyu had revealed the truth that day, she hadn't worn a mask on her face, and she knew this.
But how could this Jin Jingchen know her and suddenly call out her name?
Could it be that he really was...
Could it be such a coincidence?
