"It's getting late, and I still need to go to the Qin family's," Shen Xi said, remaining standing. "Mr. Qin, why don't you sit here for a while? I'll be going now."
"Wait," Qin Si Ye suddenly turned and called out to her, "I have something to discuss with you."
"Uncle Qin. Don't..." Yan Yan saw this and quickly opened her mouth, wanting to ask him to stay.
Chen Chen, standing beside her, immediately tugged at her and winked at her.
Qin Si Ye looked at them again, "It's a bit late today. Next time, next time I will definitely come earlier and spend more time with you all."
Although the three children were a little reluctant, when they heard that he was going to talk to their mother, they did not try to stop him any further.
After all, giving the two of them more opportunities to interact was their main concern.
As long as Uncle Qin could win over their mother quickly, they would have more time together.
Qin Si Ye closed the door, and the two of them walked out onto the road in front of the door, one after the other.
The sky outside had already darkened, and the hazy streetlights illuminated their faces, blurring their contours.
"I heard from Principal Chen that you transferred Chen Chen and the other two to a different school? Are you deliberately trying to keep them away from me?" Qin Si Ye stood in front of Shen Xi and asked in a cold voice.
Shen Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly denied it, "No. I just felt that it was a bit far to go to school there, so I found a closer kindergarten, which is more convenient."
"I think the truth of the matter is not as simple as you say," Qin Si Ye continued to stare at her relentlessly, "If that were the case, why didn't you consider the distance problem at the beginning, but only transferred the children after meeting me there?
Bao Jia International is the best kindergarten in K City, and it's the best choice for children like Chen Chen who have just returned from abroad."
Shen Xi did not expect him to approach her about the children's school transfer. The children were hers, and where they went to school was her freedom. Why did he care so much?
"Mr. Qin, you're really overthinking it. This has nothing to do with you." Shen Xi suppressed the anger in her heart and tried to keep her tone calm, "If I really wanted to keep the children away from you, I wouldn't have allowed you to send cakes here."
Hearing this, Qin Si Ye stared at her blankly for a while and continued to ask, "Then why? Is it because of Lu Yushan?"
Shen Xi did not give a definite answer, but instead retorted, "Given her personality, do you think she would let that matter go?"
Since he had already guessed that it was that woman, she could only continue with his line of thought.
"She dares? That matter was her nephew's fault in the first place. If their Qin family dares to do anything detrimental to Chen Chen and the other two, I will not let them off." Qin Si Ye suddenly clenched his fist, his voice turning fierce.
Shen Xi looked at him in astonishment for a moment, her gaze shifting slightly, "It's better to be careful. Let's leave this matter for now. I need to go and give Grandma acupuncture. If I go too late, she might be asleep."
"Wait. I have to work overtime tomorrow morning. I'll come in the afternoon to take you to get vaccinated," Qin Si Ye suddenly called out to her.
"Okay," Shen Xi replied with a single word and then walked towards her car.
It just so happened that she also had something to do tomorrow morning.
Qin Si Ye watched her hurried departure, his expression slightly darkening. She was going to his own home, and without even asking if he wanted to go back, she took off.
Did she want to stay away from him that much?
After Shen Xi's car drove away, Qin Si Ye also got into his car, but instead of driving out of the complex, he drove his car to a villa at the easternmost end and parked in front of the door.
He slowly entered the password, opened the gate, and walked in.
The next day, Shen Xi, wearing a white chiffon shirt and black straight-leg trousers, with dark high heels, walked into the Oriental Hotel lobby with brisk steps.
Her slightly curled long hair was tied up high, and she wore a pair of brown sunglasses. She looked both refreshed and capable.
"In which hall is the auction being held?" she asked Jian Fan, looking around the lobby.
"Second floor, Conference Hall Number Three," Jian Fan replied softly.
At this moment, a woman's figure emerged from the restroom on the first floor. She happened to see them walking towards the elevator and paused slightly.
