Back at Villa No. 3, Hua Ban Li, Jian Fan drove away.
As soon as Shen Xi entered the hall with Yin Zhe and the children, she introduced Yin Zhe to Aunt Fang and the nanny, Xiao Lian.
Aunt Fang smiled and pointed to two suitcases by the sofa. "Miss Shen, Mr. Qin just delivered two suitcases."
"Oh?" Shen Xi glanced in the direction she was pointing. "About how long ago was that?"
"About half an hour," Aunt Fang replied.
Shen Xi took out her phone again and called him, but Qin Si Ye still didn't answer.
She considered going to Villa No. 1 to check, but felt it wouldn't be appropriate.
Suddenly, she thought of Qin Si Yue and immediately went to the balcony to call her.
"Hello? Sister Xi, what made you think of calling me at this hour?"
"Si Yue, is your brother at home?" Shen Xi asked softly and urgently.
"Ah? Don't you have his number? Why don't you ask him directly?" Qin Si Yue had just finished bathing and was lying in bed, looking puzzled.
Shen Xi replied, "There was a small misunderstanding tonight. He's not answering my calls, quickly go and check for me, I have something urgent to discuss with him."
"Okay. Please wait a moment." Qin Si Yue quickly got out of bed, holding her phone, and ran to Qin Si Ye's room.
A few minutes later, she said into the phone, "Sister Xi, he's not in his room, and I've checked the study, still no sign of him. My brother shouldn't be home."
"Alright. Thank you." Shen Xi hung up the phone, disappointed.
She turned and went upstairs to personally tidy up Yin Zhe's room.
She had many things to say to Yin Zhe, but she had heard Yin Zhe call her cousin at the club.
She knew Qin Si Ye had already told him her false identity.
But she was afraid that if she said too much, it would arouse his suspicion.
It didn't matter if he knew her true identity, but the crucial point was that he was now close to Qin Si Ye, and if the truth reached Qin Si Ye's ears, it would undoubtedly cause a bigger "earthquake."
Yin Zhe also had many things he wanted to ask her, but he had the same reservations as her.
When picking him up at the airport today, Qin Si Ye had already informed him that Shen Xi was his biological sister, Yin Xi.
However, he could only keep this knowledge to himself and not reveal it, otherwise, Qin Si Ye's knowledge of the truth would be exposed.
The siblings, each with their own thoughts, despite not having seen each other for many years, and with a thousand words unspoken, could only restrain themselves.
After arranging for Yin Zhe and the children to rest, Shen Xi returned to her room and called Qin Si Ye again.
She called three times consecutively, but still no answer.
Shen Xi slowly walked to the sofa and sat down, suddenly thinking of his friend Gu Lin.
She immediately found his number in her contacts and dialed it.
"Hello? Shen Xi." The call was answered quickly, and Gu Lin's voice came through.
"Hello? Director Gu. I'm sorry to bother you so late. I wanted to ask, is Mr. Qin... Mr. Qin with you?"
Shen Xi didn't know that Gu Lin already knew everything and still felt it was more appropriate to refer to Qin Si Ye this way.
Gu Lin looked up at Qin Si Ye on the opposite sofa. He was about to say "Yes, he is," but met his icy gaze and quickly changed his words, "No."
"Oh. I'm sorry to have bothered you." Shen Xi's eyes dimmed. Just as she was about to hang up, Gu Lin suddenly asked,
"Looking for him so late, is there something urgent?"
Shen Xi lowered her head and thought for a moment before replying, "Yes. There is something very important I want to ask him."
"Don't worry. I'll call him for you," Gu Lin said, a faint smile appearing on his lips as he gave Qin Si Ye a meaningful glance.
After hanging up the phone, he looked at Qin Si Ye and said with a smile, "Si Ye, don't be upset anymore, go back quickly. Shen Xi says she has something urgent to talk to you about."
"What urgent matter could it be? It's probably about her brother," Qin Si Ye said dismissively, picking up his wine glass and taking a large sip.
"That bouquet is still with Song Kai Cheng, which means she didn't accept it at all. What are you still angry about? Go back quickly.
Today is Shen Xi's birthday, can't you let her have a happy and peaceful day?" Gu Lin frowned and advised him earnestly.
Qin Si Ye straightened up, looked at Gu Lin with a sorrowful gaze, and said slowly, "I'm not angry, I'm hurt. Gu Lin, hurt, do you understand?
Yin Zhe's flight was delayed, and I waited for him at the airport for two full hours.
I wanted to give her a surprise as a birthday gift. Who would have thought that when I entered the door, I would see that scene? Can you understand how I felt at that moment?"
"I understand, I get it. You're not just hurt, you're also jealous. But you can't blame Shen Xi for this, why are you punishing her like this?" Gu Lin sighed and shook his head helplessly.
Just then, a WeChat notification sound came from Qin Si Ye's phone. He casually opened it, glanced at it, and then suddenly stood up from the sofa.
