He quickly picked up his phone and saw it was already 8:30 AM.
Disaster, how could he have overslept. Wasn't his phone alarm set for 6:40 AM? Why hadn't he heard a thing.
Qin Si Ye didn't have time to think further. He immediately rolled out of bed, quickly washed up, put on his clothes, and ran downstairs.
Only Xu Zhi Lan was in the living room. Upon seeing him, she asked with a smile, "Si Ye, you're up. How are you feeling?"
"Very good. Grandma, I have an urgent matter, I'm leaving now." Qin Si Ye's footsteps didn't stop for a moment as he immediately ran out the door.
Just as he reached the front of Villa No. 3, he saw Shen Xi's car driving back from outside. He couldn't help but stop, frown, and stare intently at it.
After the car parked, Butler Wu walked out. Upon seeing Qin Si Ye, he smiled and asked, "Mr. Qin, do you need something?"
"Where is Miss Shen?" Qin Si Ye's mind was filled with the dream from last night, and his heart was in a panic.
"Oh, Miss Shen went out with Assistant Jian. I just brought the children back." Butler Wu looked at him with some surprise and couldn't help but ask, "Didn't she tell you?"
Qin Si Ye knew that he had been responsible for picking up and dropping off Miss Shen and the children for the past two weeks. Miss Shen had an outing today and didn't ask him to take the children, so she should have told him in advance. Why was he asking this?
"Oh. Perhaps she did." Qin Si Ye replied noncommittally.
Last night, when she was giving him a massage, she seemed to have mentioned something, but he hadn't heard it clearly, and then he had fallen asleep in a daze.
"Do you know where they went?" Qin Si Ye asked, frowning.
"I'm not very sure. They should be in another city. I heard Assistant Jian tell the children that they might not be back until tonight." Butler Wu, seeing his anxious expression, told him all the information he knew.
"Okay. Thank you." Qin Si Ye said, and then strode towards the main gate of the community.
As he walked, he called Zhao Ze and asked him to come pick him up immediately.
He then called Shen Xi, but after several attempts, no one answered.
His heart was burning with anxiety. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then called Jian Fan.
At this moment, Jian Fan was driving with Shen Xi on the highway.
Looking down, he saw Qin Si Ye's name on the caller ID.
Why would he suddenly think of calling him?
Shen Xi's phone had rung several times just now. She had glanced at it, then turned down the volume and put it in her bag.
He probably couldn't get through to Sister Xi, so he turned to calling him, right?
Jian Fan pushed the phone towards Shen Xi and asked softly, "It's Mr. Qin. Do you want to answer?"
Shen Xi glanced at it and frowned slightly. "No. I'll reply to him."
She slowly took out her phone from her bag and sent a message back to Qin Si Ye on WeChat.
"Jian Fan and I have gone out of town for some business. I already told you last night. Butler Wu will be taking care of the children today."
Qin Si Ye immediately asked, "Where are you going?"
Shen Xi glanced at it, but didn't reply, feeling that this matter had nothing to do with him and there was no need to tell him.
After a while, Qin Si Ye sent another message, "Tell me quickly, where are you going? Otherwise, I will mobilize all my resources to track you."
Shen Xi's brow furrowed after reading it. Was this man sick?
She was just going out of town for some business, why was he treating her like a fugitive and wanting to track her?
However, considering his status in K City and his usual domineering personality, he might actually do as he said.
Shen Xi had no choice but to type her destination on the screen: Hai Cheng.
Just as she thought he would ask for more details, Qin Si Ye calmly replied with five words, "Okay, I understand."
Shen Xi put her phone back into her bag again and looked forward expressionlessly.
"Sister Xi, what's wrong? Did you have a disagreement with Mr. Qin?" Jian Fan secretly glanced at her a few times, but couldn't hold back and asked.
He had heard from Xie Yi Fei that they had taken the children out to play last weekend and had a great time. How was it that after only a few days of returning, their relationship seemed off?
Shen Xi withdrew her gaze, looked at him, and forced a smile. "No."
On the other side, as soon as Qin Si Ye got into Zhao Ze's car, he said to him, "Go to Hai Cheng."
