Shen Xi was startled and glanced at him sideways, saying in a low voice, "Grandma is having a heart-to-heart with Mr. Qin, I shouldn't go in and disturb them."
"It's alright, come in." Qin Si Ye led the way.
Seeing them walk in one after another, Xu Zhi Lan's face immediately lit up with a smile. "Si Ye, Xi Xi, you two are here."
"Grandma." Shen Xi greeted her with a smile and was about to greet Qin Xiu Yi when Xu Zhi Lan interrupted her.
"Xiu Yi, I'm telling you, Si Ye and Xi Xi have already promised me they'll get their marriage certificate soon. As their uncle, don't you feel ashamed just watching?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other three in the hall showed expressions of astonishment.
What was going on? Was the old lady's mind confused again?
Shen Xi lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone.
This was too awkward. How could Grandma mistake someone again at this moment?
When Heaven agreed to this matter with her, she had already feared this day, and sure enough.
"Why would I feel ashamed? My nephew is getting married, I should be happy." Qin Xiu Yi said, looking at them meaningfully, "By the way, when are you two planning to get the certificate? Don't forget to send me wedding candy then!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhi Lan also chimed in, "Yes, have you two discussed it? When are you going to get the certificate? We need to choose an auspicious day first."
In just two minutes, the mother and son, who had been at odds, immediately unified their front.
Qin Si Ye's body stiffened under their gaze. Just as he was pondering how to answer, Shen Xi suddenly spoke up:
"Grandma, Si Ye has been very busy these past few days. You see, he doesn't even have time to come back and see you, so getting the certificate has to be postponed."
Hearing this, Xu Zhi Lan looked at her thoughtfully, "Oh, I remember now, you said he was busy with that online battle with Lu Yu Shan? I heard Si Yue tell me when she came back."
"Yes," Shen Xi replied.
Qin Si Ye glanced at her sideways. As expected, she was smart, diverting Grandma's attention with a few words.
Her eyes suddenly brightened, Xu Zhi Lan pulled Shen Xi's fair and smooth little hand and asked with a smile, "This is great, Si Ye has finally gotten rid of that annoying woman. Xi Xi, you've suffered a lot over the years. You know, Si Ye was also a victim. You don't blame him, do you?"
Oh god, this topic was getting deeper and deeper. Shen Xi suddenly regretted coming here tonight, but she still forced herself to reply, "No."
Hearing this, Qin Si Ye couldn't help but look at her again. For a moment, he felt as if Yin Xi was truly standing beside him.
"Si Ye, apologize to Xi Xi properly. If you have time next week, you two should quickly go and get the certificate," Xu Zhi Lan said with a chuckle, looking up at Qin Si Ye.
"Yes. Grandma," Qin Si Ye replied in a low voice.
Qin Xiu Yi sat on the sofa, knowing that they were acting, but remained unfazed, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"Why is Grandma so happy? Did I miss something?" Qin Si Yue asked as she walked in from outside.
Qin Xiu Yi stood up, met her, and whispered, "You missed a good show."
"What good show?" Qin Si Yue asked curiously.
"Shh—" Qin Xiu Yi reminded her to be quiet, then said in a serious tone, "If you missed it, you missed it. Why ask so many questions? Who told you not to come back earlier."
But Qin Si Yue wouldn't let him go. She grabbed his arm and pulled him aside, "Uncle, don't keep me guessing. Has my brother and Sister Xi's relationship progressed?"
Lightly tapping her head, Qin Xiu Yi raised his eyebrows, "Such matters are best understood, not spoken. You need to observe with your own eyes and think with your brain."
"Oh, I understand," Qin Si Yue realized. Since her uncle hadn't denied it, it meant her guess was correct.
