After hearing Qin Si Ye's words, Su Yixin slumped to the ground, dumbfounded.
“Reflect on yourself here. Zhao Ze, let’s go.” Qin Si Ye finished speaking and walked out of the room.
Closing the door, he coldly instructed the two bodyguards standing outside, "In half an hour, let her leave."
As Qin Si Ye got into the car, Zhao Ze asked, "President, you haven't had dinner yet. Shall we go for Western or Chinese cuisine?"
Just then, he received a message from Shen Xi on his phone, "Where are you? I have something to tell you."
Glancing at his watch, it was already past 8 PM.
Qin Si Ye looked up at Zhao Ze, who was driving, and said, "Let's go back to Hua Ban Li."
Immediately after, he replied to Shen Xi on his phone, "I'll come to find you in a moment."
Half an hour later, Qin Si Ye knocked on Shen Xi's door.
Shen Xi was sitting on the sofa, looking at her phone. She was wearing a neat and proper loungewear set, and her mask had already been removed.
Hearing the doorbell, she immediately got up to open the door.
The moment Qin Si Ye saw her, a charming smile bloomed at the corner of his lips, and he pulled her into his embrace.
Shen Xi was startled and instinctively struggled.
Although there was no one in the living room, Fang Sao and Xiao Lian might suddenly come out.
“Don’t move. Let me hold you for a while. Xi Xi, I haven’t seen you in two days.”
Two days? Yes, it had been two days since they had dinner at Villa No. 1.
Although a major event had occurred during these two days, they had only communicated by phone.
Shen Xi stopped struggling and let him hold her, her small hands unconsciously resting on his waist.
After a while, Qin Si Ye let go of her and scanned the living room, "Where are the children? Have they all gone to bed?"
"Yes. They just went to their rooms," Shen Xi said, pulling his hand towards the sofa.
Qin Si Ye looked down at his watch and stopped, "It's not even 9 o'clock yet, and they don't have school tomorrow. Why did you let them rest?
Did you intentionally create a private space for us two?"
"If you think so, that's fine too. Come here quickly, I have important news to tell you." Shen Xi glanced back at him and continued to lead him forward.
Qin Si Ye gently pulled her back to face him, his hands naturally resting on her waist. "If you have something to say, you can just say it in your room. There's no need to send the children away."
"If you want to see them, then I'll go up now and call them down?" Shen Xi frowned as she looked at him.
What did this man mean? Did he want to see the children, or did he want to go to her room?
"That's not necessary. Since they're already resting, don't disturb them." Qin Si Ye's lips curved upwards, and he suddenly took her hand and walked towards the dining room. "I haven't eaten yet. Do you have anything to eat here? Let's chat while we eat."
"What? It's so late, and you haven't eaten yet. What have you been so busy with?" Shen Xi looked at him with surprise, her words revealing her concern and a hint of complaint.
"After work, I had to deal with something. When I was going out to eat, I happened to receive your message, so I rushed back." Qin Si Ye smiled calmly and sat down at the dining table.
Shen Xi withdrew her hand and looked at him with a composed expression, "Then wait a moment, it'll be ready soon."
With that, she turned and went into the kitchen.
More than ten minutes later, Shen Xi placed a bowl of beef noodles and two plates of freshly stir-fried side dishes in front of him.
"I don't have as much variety as restaurants outside, so please make do with it."
Qin Si Ye put away his phone, picked up his chopsticks with a smile, and took a large mouthful of noodles. "I actually find your cooking delicious and appealing, much better than those so-called delicacies outside.
If it weren't for social obligations, I wouldn't want to eat out at all. I only wish to eat your cooking every day."
Every day? What did that mean? Did he want to live here?
Shen Xi's fair face couldn't help but blush. "Stop joking and eat quickly. Otherwise, it'll get cold."
The man's lips curved upwards. He lowered his head and took several more large bites, and of course, he didn't neglect the dishes on the plates.
Midway through eating the noodles in the bowl, Qin Si Ye slowed down, looked up at Shen Xi sitting opposite him, and said,
"Didn't you say you had something important to tell me? Go ahead."
Shen Xi then recounted in detail how she met Han Haoming today and what they had discussed during lunch.
