"Brother, you just got back, why don't you stay for dinner?" Qin Si Yue chased after him a few steps, shouting at his retreating back.
Qin Si Ye seemed not to hear, continuing to walk forward with long strides.
"Grandma, what's wrong with my brother? Why is he leaving right after coming back?" Qin Si Yue glanced sideways at Xu Zhi Lan.
Moreover, his expression was very grim, completely different from his usual self.
"Who knows." Xu Zhi Lan also looked confused.
"Doctor Shen, please wait a moment." As Qin Si Ye stepped out of the Qin family courtyard, he loudly called out to Shen Xi.
She stopped gently, and Shen Xi turned back, "Mr. Qin, is something the matter?"
Qin Si Ye quickly walked up to her, "I just returned from country B, and I have a question for you."
"Alright. Ask away." Shen Xi replied calmly. "You said you saved Yin Xi back then and brought her to country B. Was she already pregnant at that time, or did she get pregnant after arriving in country B?" Qin Si Ye looked at her with a deep expression and piercing gaze.
This question had been troubling him, making him sleepless. He desperately wanted to know the answer.
"Mr. Qin, does this question have anything to do with you?" Shen Xi's eyes narrowed, unwilling to answer his question.
She recalled how he had pressured her that day, and she felt extremely displeased.
"She was my girlfriend." Qin Si Ye stared straight at her, his expression instantly sharpening.
"Girlfriend? As far as I know, that was fake. And you admitted it yourself. Mr. Qin, Yin Xi is no longer with us. Is there any point in discussing these matters now? I'm sorry, I have other things to attend to, I'll be going now."
After speaking, Shen Xi resolutely turned and drove away.
Only when the sight of her car disappeared from his view did Qin Si Ye retract his gaze, which was as cold as an arrow, and walk towards his own car.
"Sister Xi, where are you?" Not long after Shen Xi's car left the Qin family villa, she received a call from Jian Fan.
"I just came out from a patient's home. Have you booked the restaurant?" Shen Xi asked.
"I've sent you the location via WeChat. However, the other party chose the place." Jian Fan continued, "I've arranged for the children, and they are also on their way there."
"Okay."
Shen Xi hung up the phone and opened WeChat to check the location Jian Fan had sent her, preparing to navigate there.
The destination displayed was Xianghe Garden.
Wasn't that the restaurant where Qin Si Ye had invited her to dinner last time? Why would the other party choose that location?
When she arrived in front of Xianghe Garden, Jian Fan had not yet arrived. Shen Xi got out of the car and waited at the entrance.
She had only been standing there for less than two minutes when she saw Qin Si Ye's tall figure approaching the restaurant entrance.
It was truly unlucky, how could she run into him everywhere?
Shen Xi wanted to avoid him, but it was too late. Qin Si Ye had clearly seen her.
"What a coincidence, Doctor Shen is also here for dinner?" Qin Si Ye frowned slightly and spoke first.
"Yes." Shen Xi forced a smile.
If the other party hadn't specifically requested this place, she wouldn't have come.
"Shall we go in together?" Qin Si Ye's expression was as usual, as if the unpleasantness at the Qin family entrance hadn't happened.
"No. I'm waiting for someone." Shen Xi replied calmly.
Qin Si Ye didn't say anything further and walked inside.
Five minutes later, Jian Fan finally arrived.
"Sister, I'm sorry, I was late due to traffic."
"It's fine. Let's go." Shen Xi glanced at her watch, turned to go inside, and asked him sideways, "Which private room?"
Jian Fan replied in a low voice, "Xinghua Hall."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xi paused slightly.
She remembered that the last time Qin Si Ye brought her to dinner, it was in Yulan Hall.
Xinghua Hall was directly opposite.
Shen Xi didn't say anything and walked forward as if familiar with the way.
Along the way, she encountered many surprised glances from the staff.
"Huh? Isn't this Miss Shen who came with Mr. Qin last time?"
"Why didn't she come in with Mr. Qin just now?"
"And there's a pretty boy following behind her. What's going on?"
Although they were all puzzled, they merely exchanged glances, no one daring to discuss the matter.
