Qin Si Ye opened the box on the table, took out an adult smart watch, and placed a new phone card inside.
"This smart watch is a high-tech product recently developed by Zhuo Sheng, with positioning, recording, and monitoring functions. You must wear it with you."
As he spoke, he took off the mechanical wrist watch on her wrist and personally fastened the smart watch onto her.
"Aren't you already being followed by bodyguards? Do you still need this? What if they discover it?" Yin Xi looked at him with some surprise.
"Bodyguards can't guarantee absolute safety. Wearing this makes it more secure. If anything unexpected happens, I will definitely rush over with people immediately."
Qin Si Ye pushed the strap inwards. "This watch is very thin and can be hidden inside your clothes, making it difficult for others to detect."
Afterward, Qin Si Ye demonstrated the watch's functions and operation to her.
After lunch, Yin Xi drove away from Zhuo Sheng. Reaching Xing Lan Bay, she went straight into her room to pack her things.
She didn't carry her suitcase downstairs until the children returned from school.
Upon seeing her, the three children couldn't help but look at her in astonishment.
Chen Chen asked, "Mommy, where are you going?"
"There's an urgent matter abroad that needs handling. I'm going on a business trip for a few days." Yin Xi smiled as she looked at each of them, feeling reluctant.
Yan Yan's eyes reddened, and she stepped forward, taking her hand. "Mommy, this is too sudden. Why didn't you say anything this morning?"
"The matter is indeed rather sudden. I made the decision on impulse," Yin Xi replied affectionately, stroking her little head.
At this moment, Chen Chen and Shuo Shuo also walked up to her.
Shuo Shuo asked, "Mommy, when will you be back?"
"This..." Yin Xi thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to determine the exact time, maybe about a week."
"Ah? So long. Mommy, we'll miss you." Chen Chen's obsidian-like eyes were filled with reluctance.
"I will miss you too." A mist suddenly appeared in Yin Xi's eyes. "I've already communicated with your Daddy. He will take good care of you. You must be obedient at home."
"Okay," Chen Chen replied, being very sensible. He then asked, "Mommy, can we video call you?"
Yin Xi blinked her eyes a few times. "I'm afraid that won't be possible. The work I'm going to handle this time is a covert operation, so video calls would be inconvenient."
If she initiated a video call, and they somehow realized she wasn't abroad but in City K, the deception would be exposed.
Not only would they blame her for lying, but they would also worry about her.
This was something Yin Xi did not want to see.
"Ah? Then what should we do if we miss you?" Yan Yan pouted and asked.
Yin Xi said, "Although we can't video call, I can call you. Make sure you and your siblings keep your phone watches with you at all times."
Upon hearing this, the three children's faces lit up with smiles. "That's great."
Sister Li and Butler Liu in the dining room exchanged glances, looking at them with unspoken understanding.
After bidding farewell to the children, Yin Xi gave them a brief set of instructions before pushing her suitcase towards the main door.
Just then, Qin Si Ye pushed open the door, looking travel-worn.
"Why are you back so early?" Yin Xi asked, looking at him in surprise.
It was only five o'clock, not yet quitting time.
Qin Si Ye remained silent, his gaze fixed intently on her. In the next moment, he stepped forward, put his arm around her waist, and, ignoring everyone else, lowered his head to kiss her lips.
Upon seeing this, Butler Liu and Sister Li quickly turned their heads away, while the three children chuckled, unconcerned.
"What are you doing? There are so many people here." Yin Xi's body stiffened, and she gently pushed him away, lowering her head shyly.
Qin Si Ye's lips curved upward, and he touched his forehead to hers, murmuring, "Have you remembered everything I told you?"
