Shen Xi stopped and turned to look at him. "Mr. Qin, please speak."
"Why is Grandma experiencing cognitive confusion again?" Qin Si Ye was a little puzzled.
She had been undergoing acupuncture treatment for more than half a month, and the previous medication had been stopped. This phenomenon should not reappear.
"That's because she was angered by your uncle. Before you arrived, the two of them had quite a quarrel. You should properly persuade your uncle, he mustn't anger her again in the future." Shen Xi looked up at him, facing the faint light.
"Alright. I will persuade her." Qin Si Ye's ink-dark eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light. "Dr. Shen, I have a suggestion, I wonder if you would agree?"
"Oh? Tell me about it," Shen Xi replied curiously.
"You see Grandma's condition is always fluctuating, I'm very worried about her. Why don't I hire you as her full-time doctor? How about it?"
Qin Si Ye couldn't see Shen Xi's face clearly and continued with sincerity,
"Whatever the hospital pays you, I will pay more, never less."
"You trust me that much?" Shen Xi was surprised and frowned.
"Yes." Qin Si Ye answered without hesitation.
Shen Xi hadn't expected him to answer so quickly and decisively. "Why?"
"Because you are Yin Xi's older cousin." Qin Si Ye stared at her intently.
Shen Xi reached out to adjust her shoulder bag, paused for a moment, and replied, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin. Thank you for your trust, but I'm afraid I can't agree. I enjoy my work at the hospital and don't plan to give it up for now.
It's normal for Grandma's condition to fluctuate. As the acupuncture and rehabilitation training progresses, this phenomenon will become less frequent."
"Okay." A hint of disappointment arose in Qin Si Ye's heart. "What happened today was too sudden. Fortunately, you reacted quickly. I apologize for always pulling you into these situations and saying things that made you feel awkward."
Seeing him so serious, Shen Xi suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Qin, I remember you said that the word 'apology' doesn't exist in your dictionary."
"That depends on who it is for," Qin Si Ye blurted out.
Shen Xi was startled, what did he mean by that? Did she mean something different in his heart? Or did he not just have one dictionary? wap.kanshuwu.net
"It's alright, don't take it to heart. As long as Grandma doesn't really force us to get registered," Shen Xi smiled sweetly, gave him a slight nod, and then turned to walk towards her car.
Qin Si Ye stood at the doorway, watching her carefree departing figure, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He, Qin Si Ye, was considered outstanding in Kai City in terms of both looks and ability. Yet, one day, he was so disliked by a woman.

Xicheng, a gentle Jiangnan ancient city that could intoxicate anyone.
Whether it was the myriad of lights or the neon lights along the roads, they all exuded an ancient charm and tenderness.
Even the business salons were held on an ancient street with profound cultural heritage, allowing people to experience the unique charm of the fusion of culture and commerce.
Chen Fa stumbled out of the hall, humming a soft melody, and headed towards the restroom.
As soon as he reached the corner, he felt something hard pressed against his waist.
His body stiffened, his voice abruptly stopped, and he stammered, "May I ask who you are? Let's... let's talk properly, I will definitely... definitely cooperate."
The person, wearing a mask and lowering their voice, said, "I have no other ill intentions. I just request Mr. Chen to step aside for a moment. Our boss wants to speak with you."
"Okay... okay, where? I'll go with you." Chen Fa was so scared that his legs trembled, and half his drunkenness had sobered up. Sweat beaded on his forehead and dripped down.
He regretted it now. He thought this was just a warm business salon and hadn't brought any bodyguards when he left home.
The two quickly exited the hall and entered a nondescript hotel not far away.
A moment later, they reached the second floor and pushed open a private room on the left.
Inside, by the window, stood a slender woman, her back to them.
