When Qin Xiuyi closed the door and returned to the inner room, he found that the woman had already fallen asleep on the bed.
What kind of woman was this, with such a carefree mind.
He walked over slowly and pulled the quilt up for her. Qin Xiuyi’s gaze settled on her face.
Her features were delicate, her skin fair, and she was sharp-tongued. Although she wore vintage clothing, her movements were rough, far from ladylike.
A devilishly charming smile flickered at the corner of Qin Xiuyi’s lips. Could she be a chivalrous woman who had traveled from ancient times?
At this moment, his gaze fell upon her alluring red lips. Just a moment ago, he had almost kissed her.
Qin Xiuyi’s throat bobbed. Suddenly, the woman on the bed shifted slightly. He quickly turned his face away and hurried out of the room.
At Villa No. 3, Hua Banli, Shen Xi had just finished washing up and sat on the bed when her phone suddenly rang.
It was Song Kaicheng.
“Hello? Brother Kaicheng, calling me so late, is something wrong?” Shen Xi quickly answered, asking with a smile.
Song Kaicheng said, “Xixi, is Auntie there with you?”
Upon hearing this, Shen Xi immediately sat up straight. “No. She hasn’t contacted me today. What’s wrong?”
Song Kaicheng’s voice trembled slightly. “Auntie went out with two friends tonight, and then she told me she was going to a bar for drinks.
But she hasn’t returned yet. I thought she might have gone to your place to see the children.”
“Ah?” Hearing this, Shen Xi couldn’t help but feel a little worried. “Did you call her?”
Although her aunt had lived in K City before, she hadn’t returned for many years. She shouldn’t be very familiar with this new city. Where would she go alone so late at night?
“I did, but no one answered,” Song Kaicheng replied anxiously.
Shen Xi asked, “Did you call her friends?”
Song Kaicheng blamed himself, “I don’t have her friends’ phone numbers. She just told me she was going out to meet two friends she hadn’t seen in years. I don’t even know their names. If I had known, I should have asked for more details.”
“Brother Kaicheng, don’t worry. Auntie is so smart, nothing will happen to her. I’ll think of a way,” Shen Xi comforted him a few words, then hung up the phone.
She scrambled off the bed, pacing around the room with her phone in hand.
It seemed that only by finding him could she get news about her aunt the fastest.

In private room number 18, Qin Siye was drinking with some business friends when he suddenly received a call from Shen Xi.
Qin Siye apologized to everyone, stood up immediately, and walked out.
“Hello?”
“Hello? Mr. Qin, I’m sorry to bother you so late. I have an urgent matter I need your help with.” Shen Xi’s voice was anxious, and her speech was rapid.
Qin Siye replied without hesitation, “Tell me.”
“My aunt went out for drinks at a bar with two friends tonight and hasn’t returned yet. I’m a little worried about her.
You are very familiar with the bars here, could you please help me find out where she is?” Shen Xi gripped her phone, speaking carefully.
“What’s her name? And you’d better send me a photo,” Qin Siye agreed immediately.
“Okay, thank you! Her name is Mei Yun.” After hanging up, Shen Xi quickly found a past photo of herself and Mei Yun, cropped it, and sent it over.
On this side, after receiving the photo, Qin Siye glanced at it and then passed it to Zhao Ze, asking him to quickly arrange for people to search all the major bars in K City for the woman in the photo.
Half an hour later, Zhao Ze reported the search results. They had searched all the bars, but they hadn’t seen the woman in the photo.
As Qin Siye was worrying, the door to the private room was opened, and a front desk staff member called him out.
“Young Master Qin, I’ve seen the woman in this photo you just sent.”
“Oh? She’s been here?” Qin Siye asked in surprise.
The waiter replied with a serious expression, “Yes, she drank a few bottles of red wine here with friends, and later got into an argument with a fat man in the hall. She was saved by our General Manager Qin.”
