“Qin Si Ye, what do you mean? Are you trying to cut ties with me?” Yin Xi blurted out the most hurtful words when she heard this, her mind momentarily losing control.
“Fine, then tell me how much the Yin family villa is worth, and I’ll transfer it to you right now.”
“What a tone,” Qin Si Ye said, looking at her sharply. “Do you think you only owe me the money for the villa? You owe me money, and you owe me affection, and you probably won’t be able to repay it in this lifetime.”
Yin Xi’s heart pounded. She stared at him blankly for a long time before her emotions finally stabilized.
She suddenly thought that if Meng Qi saw this scene, she would be extremely happy.
No, she absolutely could not let that woman succeed.
“I’m sorry. I was too emotional just now.”
She suddenly walked to his side, took his large hand, and shook it. “No matter what I owe you, I will work hard to repay it, even if it takes my entire life.”
My entire life? Qin Si Ye’s heart skipped a beat. Was she trying to appease him, confessing her love?
He didn't want her to repay him, but rather for her to keep him in her heart and always place him in the most important position.
Seeing that he remained silent, Yin Xi thought he was still angry and continued, “If you mind that Jin Jing Chen is my classmate, then I’ll have Shuo Shuo withdraw from school and find another teacher.”
Qin Si Ye’s expression slowly improved. “No need. In K City, he’s the best Rubik’s Cube teacher. Besides him, I doubt anyone else can teach Shuo Shuo.”
“Mhm. Yes, I did a lot of research before choosing him.” Yin Xi let go of his hand and took a step back.
It seemed this matter had passed.
Men, when they were angry, indeed needed to be appeased.
She then smiled and asked, “I’m a bit hungry. I want to cook some noodles. Do you want some?”
In truth, she hadn't eaten dinner at all.
“Okay.” Qin Si Ye hadn’t eaten much for dinner either, and hearing her mention it, he felt a bit hungry too.
Yin Xi quickly went to the kitchen and soon prepared two bowls of Zajiang noodles. After serving them, she was about to get a tray to take them upstairs when she heard the man’s voice from behind her.
“No need to carry them. Let’s eat here.”
Huh? Why did he come down?
Yin Xi was surprised at first, then thought it was for the best, saving her the trouble.
They sat facing each other. Yin Xi picked up her chopsticks and began to eat heartily.
Qin Si Ye ate slowly, watching her. He couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you eating like a wolf? Didn’t you have dinner?”
“Mhm. The pharmacy is opening soon, so I was busy all day today,” Yin Xi replied between mouthfuls of noodles.
Hearing this, Qin Si Ye paused slightly and asked with his head lowered, “When do you plan to open?”
Yin Xi then told him the plan she had discussed with Xie Yi Fei and the others.
“Good idea,” Qin Si Ye replied with four words and said no more.
After finishing their meal, Yin Xi tidied up the kitchen simply. As soon as she returned to the bedroom, she received a WeChat message from Qin Si Ye.
“Your performance tonight was good. You can get an extra star.”
After reading it, Yin Xi’s body trembled, and her dark eyes darted around.
She performed well just now? They were already at each other’s throats and almost started a fight.
Could it be that her sudden show of weakness, or that bowl of noodles, had moved him?
Yin Xi’s eyebrows curved upwards, and she playfully replied below, “Thank you, boss. I’ll continue to work hard.”
Little did she know, in another room, the man’s face was adorned with a gentle smile because of her message, until he drifted off to sleep.
On Monday, after attending a meeting at the pharmaceutical company in the morning, Yin Xi went to the pharmacy and stayed busy until closing time before returning to Xing Lan Wan.
She wanted to come back early tonight to have a good dinner with the children.
As soon as she entered the hall, she saw that Qin Si Ye was also at home. She was about to walk over to discuss something with him.
Her phone suddenly rang, with an unknown number.
She hesitated for a moment before answering, “Hello? Who is this?”
“Yin Xi, it’s me, Xin Meng.” He Xin Meng said excitedly on the other end of the line, “I have good news for you. Jin Jing Chen agreed to take Run Ze to learn the Rubik’s Cube.”
Hearing this, Yin Xi couldn’t help but glance at Qin Si Ye. “Really? That’s great. Congratulations!”
“Jin Jing Chen said that Run Ze’s foundation in playing the Rubik’s Cube isn’t very strong, but he’s very interested. He’ll take him for a while,” He Xin Meng paused and added, “I think he’s doing it because of your connection. If it were anyone else, he definitely wouldn’t accept.
When you have time, I’ll treat your whole family to dinner.”
