It wasn't until this moment that Qin Si Ye truly understood why his brother had called her, to tell her the truth.
It turned out he was afraid she would disturb them again.
The next day, Shen Xi woke up very early. After breakfast, she went to the pharmacy to buy some anti-inflammatory medication and then headed to Xinglan Bay.
Yin Zhe opened the door and was very surprised to see her. "Sister, why are you here so early today?"
"I'm bringing some medicine," Shen Xi handed him the medicine in her hand. "Tell your Si Ye brother to follow the instructions on the label..."
Before she could finish, she suddenly saw a man's figure by the door walking towards her from the sofa.
Qin Si Ye, why was he up so early today?
His leg was injured; he should be resting more.
Shen Xi quickly changed her words. "You're up. Why didn't you sleep in a bit longer?"
"Can't sleep," Qin Si Ye took her hand and led her inside.
"Hey. I still have to go to work." Shen Xi struggled backward.
Qin Si Ye turned back and smiled at her. "It's your own company. What's a little earlier or a little later?"
"No, Qin Si Ye, those words shouldn't come from your mouth. You're the CEO of a multinational conglomerate. If you have this attitude towards work, how did you manage to build the company to its current scale?" Shen Xi frowned and looked at him.
Qin Si Ye lowered his gaze and looked at her. His eyebrows slightly raised, he pulled her along and continued towards the sofa. "Come here, I'll impart some knowledge to you. You'll definitely gain a lot."
Shen Xi had no choice but to sit on the sofa with him.
She thought he was just joking, but unexpectedly, Qin Si Ye earnestly started discussing business with her.
Yin Zhe smiled and glanced at the two of them before turning and walking into the kitchen.
As they were engrossed in conversation, the doorbell rang again.
Yin Zhe went to open the door and saw a girl who looked strikingly like Qin Si Ye standing outside. He couldn't help but be startled.
Qin Si Yue was also greatly surprised when she saw him. This boy looked so much like Sister Yin Xi.
"You must be Yin Zhe. I'm your brother Si Ye's sister. From now on, you can call me Sister Si Yue."
"Okay. Sister Si Yue, please come in." Yin Zhe smiled slightly and stepped aside, making way for her.
Seeing Qin Si Yue, Shen Xi, who was on the sofa, nervously withdrew her hand and abruptly stood up, feeling embarrassed.
"Si Yue, you..."
Qin Si Ye, however, reached out and pulled her back.
"It's okay. I've already spoken to her."
He then turned his gaze, slightly cold, towards Qin Si Yue who was gracefully walking towards them. "Why did you suddenly come over? Didn't I tell you not to?"
"Brother, I deliberately got up early today to see you, and yet you're displeased. It's truly good intentions repaid with ingratitude." Qin Si Yue looked at him directly, her face full of grievance.
"But you came at the wrong time," Qin Si Ye said impatiently, a chill emanating from him.
"Yesterday, you told me not to contact Sister Xi between four and six, saying that was your time together."
Qin Si Yue sat on the single sofa, cast a meaningful glance at Shen Xi, and continued,
"So I specifically chose to get up early to come over, but it seems I've still stumbled upon something. What am I supposed to do? I can't possibly run over to see you in the middle of work."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xi looked at her with extreme embarrassment. "Si Yue, I came over this morning to bring your brother medicine."
"Oh. It's okay, Sister Xi. You can come anytime. I was just being abrupt," Qin Si Yue said with a smile, then suddenly leaned closer to Qin Si Ye. "Brother, where exactly are you injured? Is it serious? Let me see."
"It's on my thigh. You want to see too?" Qin Si Ye's tone was icy as he glanced up at her.
"Ah? Then forget it." Qin Si Yue's young face blushed slightly. "Let Sister Xi take care of you instead."
Shen Xi felt she couldn't stay any longer and abruptly stood up. "Well, it's getting late, I need to go to work. You two chat slowly."
The next moment, Qin Si Yue met her brother's sharp gaze and also quickly stood up. "Sister Xi, wait for me. I'll walk with you."
The two of them walked to the front door. Shen Xi turned to look at her. "Si Yue, I've resigned from my job at Ankang now, so I won't be going with you.
I've explained the situation to Director Bai, and I'll go to handle the resignation procedures tomorrow morning."
"Ah? Why so suddenly? Working at Ankang was quite good, wasn't it?" Qin Si Yue was shocked and very confused by this news.
Shen Xi briefly explained her upcoming work and plans to her.
"Oh. So that's how it is. Having your own company and pharmacy must be better than working in a hospital," Qin Si Yue said, though her face couldn't hide her disappointment. "It's just that from now on, I won't be able to have lunch with you."
"Don't we live in the same neighborhood? You're always welcome to come to my place for a meal," Shen Xi smiled and stepped forward, holding her hand and patting it. Then she asked with concern, "Have you been in touch with Han Hao Ming recently?"
