The two froze and immediately stopped.
Jian Fan took a step back.
Xie Yifei looked down and saw it was Shen Xi.
As if caught stealing, she hastily jumped down from the table, tidied her clothes and hair, and then answered the call.
"Hello? Xi Xi."
"Hello? Yifei, why do you sound out of breath? Did I call at a bad time? Are you and Jian Fan having an intimate moment?" Shen Xi teased from the other end of the line.
Xie Yifei glanced at Jian Fan, her face flushed, and replied guiltily, "Don't talk nonsense. We were just moving things."
"Oh." Shen Xi smiled. "I just wanted to tell you, the nanny you asked me to find, Xiao Lian, has been contacted. She can come over this afternoon."
"That's great. Thank you, Xi Xi." Xie Yifei's face immediately relaxed upon hearing this.
She had met several nannies at the housekeeping agency in the past few days but hadn't found anyone suitable. She figured the person Xiao Lian introduced would be very reliable.
"Jian Fan shouldn't have left yet, right? You two should find a private place and have a good talk. I think Jian Fan is absolutely sincere towards you."
Shen Xi paused for a moment and continued earnestly,
"Age is not a problem, and height is not a distance. Open your heart and embrace a new romance.
Don't always make yourself miserable like this. It breaks my heart to see you like this, let alone your godmother."
"Ah? Oh. I have something to do, I'll hang up now." Xie Yifei's heart pounded, as if everything that had just happened was remotely seen by Shen Xi. She mumbled a few words and hastily hung up the phone.
Shen Xi sat in her car, smiled, and shook her head, driving towards the pharmaceutical company.
As soon as she sat down in her office, she suddenly remembered what Qin Si Yue had told her during dinner.
She really wanted to initiate a video call with Qin Si Ye to see how he was doing.
Then she recalled what she had said earlier. If she initiated the call, wouldn't that be eating her own words?
She held her phone, opened WeChat a few times, and then exited. When it was finally time to get off work, Shen Xi immediately drove home.
After returning home and having dinner, she took the children with her to Villa No. 1.
It wasn't completely dark yet. As soon as Butler Liu opened the gate for them, the three children ran towards Panda and Haitang.
Shen Xi followed them.
The two little rabbits seemed to recognize them and happily ran towards them.
"Brother Chen, Brother Shuo, I feel like Panda and Haitang have grown a lot. Don't you think so?" Yan Yan asked, looking at her two brothers beside her.
Shuo Shuo smiled and replied, "Mm. I also think they've grown bigger and fatter."
"With the three of us accompanying them frequently and them eating well every day, they don't miss home. Of course, they grow quickly. There's a word that describes them well, what was it?" Chen Chen couldn't recall and patted his head.
"I know, I know, it's 'heart is broad and body is fat'." Yan Yan quickly said, then turned to Shen Xi, "Mommy, don't you think so?"
Shen Xi dotingly rubbed the top of her head, "Yes. That word is very appropriate."
At this moment, Butler Liu, who was standing behind them, also said with a smile, "It's mainly because these two rabbits have good lineage and strong physiques. Mr. Qin personally went to select them."
As soon as he said this, everyone present couldn't help but look up at him.
Butler Liu immediately realized he had slipped up. He blinked and quickly changed the subject.
"Hurry inside. The old madam is sitting alone in the living room. She'll be very happy if she knows you're here to see her."
The three children exchanged glances. They had long suspected that the rabbits were bought by Uncle Qin.
This meant that Uncle Qin and Mommy had really argued that time, and they had colluded to deceive them, saying Uncle Qin was away on a business trip.
They could understand that Uncle Qin and Mommy did that to prevent them from being sad.
It had been a long time since then, and they didn't care much, but their relationship seemed to have problems again.
This time, they were determined to help them mend it.
The group walked into the living room. After greeting Xu Zhi Lan, Chen Chen glanced upstairs and asked with a smile, "Great-Grandma, is Uncle Qin at home?"
