Shen Xi looked forward as she heard the sound and saw Tang Le and his mother walking towards them.
Tang Le politely called out to them as uncle and aunt before running towards the three children. Shen Xi glanced behind Du Qiuyu and asked with concern, "Your husband hasn't arrived yet?"
"No. He said he had an urgent matter to discuss and would arrive later." Du Qiuyu sighed helplessly and glanced at Qin Si Ye, "Your husband is so good, always staying by your side."
Husband? Shen Xi had heard this word from her for the second time today, and her heart still trembled slightly.
Upon hearing this, Qin Si Ye's face showed a happy smile, finding these two words particularly pleasant to his ears.
He even imagined in his heart what it would be like if Shen Xi could call him that affectionately one day.
At this moment, Tang Le's mother's phone rang. She took it out, glanced at it, and said to Shen Xi, "Excuse me, it's my husband calling. I need to take it."
"Okay." Shen Xi watched her walk aside and then calmly turned her gaze to the children in front.
She didn't realize that the man beside her was staring at her intently.
After hanging up the phone, Du Qiuyu finally showed a smile. She quickly walked to Shen Xi, "Zi Chen's mother, can you help me watch the children? Tang Le's father has arrived at the entrance, and I'm afraid he won't find his way. I need to go pick him up."
"Okay. No problem, you go ahead." Shen Xi felt a little relieved too. As she spoke, her peripheral vision accidentally caught Qin Si Ye.
Seeing him staring at her with a smile, she felt a shiver and immediately turned her head to look at the children.
Is this man sick? When they are out playing, why does he keep staring at her instead of the scenery?
"Does it feel different when you have your husband with you?" In the next second, Qin Si Ye suddenly moved beside her and whispered in her ear.
Shen Xi's heart skipped a beat. She turned her head and sternly reminded him, "But you're fake."
"Fake is better than nothing." Qin Si Ye's lips curved into a beautiful arc. "I'm sure Tang Le and his mother are not having a very happy time today. If I hadn't come, you would be the same as them."
Shen Xi had to admit that Qin Si Ye made a lot of sense. On this kind of family outing, if one parent was missing, it would indeed create a sense of loss, especially for the children.
If she had really come alone with the three children today, they definitely wouldn't be as happy as they were now.
"So, you want me to thank you?" Shen Xi raised an eyebrow and looked at him.
Qin Si Ye smiled, his eyes flickering twice. "You don't need to say it, I'll just remember it."
Shen Xi had already guessed his intention. She glared at him slightly and ignored him.
Although she was truly grateful to him, she was unwilling to admit it, not wanting to give him another "thank you."
"Alright, alright, this doesn't count. I came here shamelessly and on my own accord," Qin Si Ye quickly amended when he saw her reaction.
At this moment, Du Qiuyu walked towards them, chiding the man beside her.
"Do you see that tall man? That's the father of Tang Le's good friend. He should also be the CEO of a conglomerate, but he has no airs at all.
He spent the whole time diligently accompanying his wife and children, while you, your company isn't big, and you're always busy and never seen. You only arrived now. Do you know how upset my son and I were today?"
"I had an urgent matter, didn't I? It's not like I didn't want to come." Tang Feng said, looking in the direction she pointed. He was startled and suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong? Seen a ghost? You're so shocked." Du Qiuyu nudged his arm lightly.
"What ghost? Do you know who that person is?"
"Who?"
"The richest man in K City, the CEO of Zhuo Sheng Group, Qin Si Ye."
"Ah? How could it be him? He looks approachable and has a gentle face. He doesn't look like the decisive business magnate you mentioned at all."
"You can't judge a book by its cover. These business elites have superior intelligence, you and I can't comprehend them."
Tang Feng glanced at her and continued,
"Qin Si Ye has always been very low-key. Remember, don't spread the word about this. I'll go say hello to him."
