A little over ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of the villa at No. 1 Hua Ban Li.
After Qin Siye got out of the car, the driver drove away.
He stood at the door, hesitating for a long time, before finally lifting his foot and walking towards Villa No. 3.
Recalling the message Chenchen had sent him, he felt uneasy and decided to go and see Shen Xi in person.
Some words might be more effective said face-to-face.
Qin Siye stood at the door and rang the doorbell a few times before he heard the voice of Sister Li.
"Who is it?"
"It's me. Qin Siye."
"Oh, it's Mr. Qin. I'm sorry, it's too late now. Miss Shen and the children are already asleep. If there's anything, we can discuss it tomorrow."
Upon hearing her words, Qin Siye guessed that Shen Xi must have specifically instructed her.
It seemed she was really angry and didn't want to see him at all.
Qin Siye had never been shut out like this before in his life, and he felt very uneasy.
Of course, his greatest worry was whether Shen Xi would ignore him completely in the future.
He took out his phone and walked forward aimlessly, constantly formulating his words in his mind, wanting to send a message to Shen Xi.
Unconsciously, he had walked to the back of the villa. At this moment, a car drove from the front and parked in the parking space ahead of him.
Qin Siye glanced over, but couldn't clearly see who was inside, and continued to walk forward.
"Mr. Qin, did you just come back from Sister Xi's place? How is she?" Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind him.
His footsteps paused slightly, and Qin Siye turned to look at the "culprit" in front of him, replying with a somber expression, "Very well."
Although the lights in the community were a bit dim, Jian Fan could still discern his unfriendly expression, even filled with hostility. He quickly explained:
"It's not that I didn't want to send Sister Xi back myself. Xie Yifei had an urgent matter and needed help. Sister Xi insisted on letting her go, and came back by taxi herself."
Xie Yifei? So Jian Fan's urgent matter was to help Xie Yifei.
And it was at Shen Xi's insistence. Did that mean there was nothing between Shen Xi and Jian Fan?
He suddenly remembered the farce his grandmother had orchestrated some time ago, arranging a blind date between him and Xie Yifei. When he later discussed this topic with Shen Xi, he learned that Jian Fan and Xie Yifei were in love with each other, and they were the couple.
But how could the photos taken by the bodyguards be explained?
Seeing Qin Siye remain silent, staring at him with icy eyes, Jian Fan couldn't help but shiver.
Suddenly remembering the incident of pretending to be a couple with Shen Xi in Haicheng that morning, he felt a sense of "guilty conscience."
Could he have found out everything?
In his panic, he inadvertently confessed, "Mr. Qin, this morning in Haicheng, Sister Xi and I went to see someone. We noticed two suspicious men downstairs and thought they were that person's bodyguards.
To avoid arousing their suspicion, we deliberately pretended to be a couple. I must explain this to you. If you know about this, please don't have any other thoughts about it."
Upon hearing this, Qin Siye's body trembled, his heart churned with emotions, and his gaze instantly softened. He asked indifferently, "Do you like Xie Yifei?"
Jian Fan was startled, not expecting him to suddenly ask such a question.
This was his secret, never revealed to anyone else, including the person involved.
But to dispel Qin Siye's concerns, he immediately affirmed, "Yes."
Qin Siye gazed at him with deep eyes for a few seconds, "Xie Yifei is a good person."
After speaking, he strode briskly towards his home.
Upon returning to his bedroom, Qin Siye immediately sat on the sofa and sent a message to Shen Xi.
"Shen Xi, are you there? I was wrong! I sincerely apologize to you!
Today, I shouldn't have lost my temper and wronged you without understanding the truth of the matter.
I even did something so offensive to you. You were right to call me a scumbag. Tomorrow, you can hit me or scold me, it's all fine."
He waited for a long time but didn't see Shen Xi send any reply. Feeling very disappointed, he lowered his head and wrote on the screen again:
"Shen Xi, please say something, don't ignore me, okay? Tell me, what can I do to repair our relationship? I'll agree to any request you make."
Another five minutes passed, and Qin Siye finally received a reply from Shen Xi. However, after reading its content, his mood plummeted to the bottom.
