When Shen Xi asked Jian Fan to book her plane ticket in K City, she was lucky to have used Shen Xi’s identity. Otherwise, she would have been exposed in front of Su Chengyu on the plane.
Thinking back now, Shen Xi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Song Kaicheng looked at her with confusion, "Do you have any acquaintances in K City?"
"It's better to be cautious than to be sorry. Let's go quickly." Shen Xi smiled, glanced around warily, and took the lead.
Song Kaicheng smiled slightly without speaking, and quickly followed her.
After getting into the car, Shen Xi thought about what happened on the plane and couldn't help but turn her head to look at the man beside her, "Brother Kaicheng, is my tombstone still there?"
Although she didn't know Su Chengyu's purpose for coming to B Country this time, she still needed to be vigilant.
What if he came to investigate Yin Xi's death?
"Yes. No one has touched it. What's wrong?" Song Kaicheng frowned and looked at her.
Last time, she asked him to erect that tombstone to deceive Qin Siye. Hadn't he been here before?
Could it be that he was coming again this time?
"Nothing, I was just asking. My identity hasn't been revealed in K City yet, and I've always presented myself as Yin Xi's cousin or friend there. If someone comes to investigate, that tombstone can serve as a cover," Shen Xi said seriously.
Song Kaicheng breathed a sigh of relief, his lips curling slightly, "Alright. That tombstone will remain there for now. We won't move it until you've fully restored your identity."
The two sat in the back seat and chatted about the mayor's health.
Soon, the car turned into the yard of a secluded villa.
Shen Xi got out of the car and looked around. After several months, everything here was the same as when she left.
"Let's go. Auntie is waiting for you in the living room." Song Kaicheng pushed the suitcase to her.
"Ah?" Shen Xi's body trembled slightly, completely unprepared, "Didn't you say Auntie was on vacation?"
"She just returned yesterday." Song Kaicheng's lips curved into a slight smile as he pushed the suitcase forward.
"Oh." Shen Xi followed him slowly, her mind constantly thinking about what to say when she met her aunt.
If her aunt scolded her directly, she would have to accept it.
After her aunt finished venting her anger, she would explain.
As she was nervously lowering her head and calculating her response strategy, Mei Yun's gentle voice sounded in her ear, "Xixi, you're here."
Shen Xi looked up abruptly and saw Mei Yun standing by the door, smiling and extending her arms to her.
Her heart skipped a beat. After a slight pause, Shen Xi, with red eyes, ran quickly into her embrace.
"Auntie."
The two held each other tightly. All the complaints and apologies in their hearts vanished at this moment.
Mei Yun took her hand and happily walked inside, not mentioning the unpleasant incident that happened in K City at all.
"Xixi, since you're home, hurry and take off the mask." Mei Yun pulled her to sit on the sofa.
"I..." Shen Xi was still hesitant and couldn't help but look at Song Kaicheng.
It was safe here, she knew. But once she took it off, it would be troublesome to put it back on.
Besides, wasn't she going out again later?
"Take it off. After breakfast, I'll accompany you to Mayor Abel's house. If you wear the mask, you'll definitely scare him," Song Kaicheng said with a smile, sitting opposite them.
Shen Xi had not made a mask when she treated Mayor Abel before.
"Okay. I'll go to the washroom." Shen Xi thought for a moment, stood up, and walked towards the washroom on the first floor.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Song Kaicheng sat up straight and looked at Mei Yun, "Auntie, you performed well today."
"I did my best to control my temper to help you. Now, it's up to you," Mei Yun said, crossing her legs with her eyebrows raised.
"Don't worry, I'll try my best." Song Kaicheng's lips curved into a handsome arc.
Qin Siye had the advantage of proximity; he had an even greater advantage.
This was once her home.
A few minutes later, Shen Xi opened the washroom door and gracefully walked towards them.
Song Kaicheng’s gaze was fixed on her, unable to look away.
The beautiful and charming girl who had been in his heart for a long time was finally back.
Mei Yun reached out and pulled Shen Xi's hand to sit beside her, "This is our Xixi, so beautiful. Isn't that right, Kaicheng?"
