Shen Xi made the request above after careful consideration.
Most of Qin Si Ye's cars were luxury vehicles worth millions or more. If the four of them were to travel in his car, it would inevitably lead to undue speculation, whether at the kindergarten or the hospital entrance.
It was better to avoid unnecessary trouble, so she felt it would be safer to drive her own car.
"Okay," Qin Si Ye agreed readily, his outward demeanor calm, but his heart filled with joy.
If the three children knew about this, they would be extremely happy.
Hadn't he won back the bet he lost that morning after just one afternoon?
Moreover, this time not only was the duration longer, but he could also spend time with her on the way to and from work.
The next day, Shen Xi woke up at five o'clock, urging the children to quickly wash up, pack their things, and catch the school's tour bus.
As the four of them walked out the door with their backpacks, they saw a tall man standing by their car.
Shen Xi looked closely and realized it was Qin Si Ye.
She couldn't help but be startled, wondering why he would be here.
The three children also looked at each other, momentarily stunned. Hadn't they agreed for him to wait directly at the kindergarten entrance?
Why was Uncle Qin waiting for them here? Could they have misunderstood?
"Mr. Qin, what is this..." Shen Xi walked towards him slowly and asked in a low voice.
Qin Si Ye stood up straight, looked at them with a smile, and said, "I heard you were going on a trip today, so I came specifically to see you off."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xi frowned slightly. She thought that she hadn't mentioned this to him in the past two days, so how could he have known?
It seemed the children must have told him.
"No need, we are going out with the school bus. It's not a long way from here to the school," Shen Xi replied calmly, taking out her car key and pressing the remote.
Seeing this, the children quickly ran into the car.
Shen Xi opened the trunk, put their backpacks and the items in her hands inside, and then walked to the driver's seat, intending to open the car door. However, Qin Si Ye remained unmoved, showing no intention of moving aside.
"Mr. Qin, what are you doing? Please let me pass," Shen Xi said, somewhat annoyed.
Qin Si Ye looked at her intently, "Quickly give me the keys. Have you forgotten what the doctor said yesterday? For the next two weeks, you'd best not drive. I will be your exclusive driver."
Saying this, he reached out to take the keys from her hand. Shen Xi glared at him with slight anger in her eyes, raising them high, trying to dodge him.
However, she was at a disadvantage in terms of height and strength and was quickly dispossessed of the keys by Qin Si Ye.
He placed his hands on her shoulders and gently pushed her towards the passenger side, "Be good, don't be stubborn anymore, alright? I'm doing this entirely for your health."
"Be good?" Shen Xi looked back at him in surprise. Why was he talking to her in such a coaxing tone, like she was a child? Had he been spending too much time with the three children?
Fortunately, all three of them were already inside the car; otherwise, it would have been much more awkward.
Qin Si Ye personally opened the car door for her, and Shen Xi was half-pushed by him into the passenger seat.
Just as he reached for the seatbelt, Shen Xi glared at him and quickly pulled it over and fastened it herself.
Qin Si Ye closed the car door, took a deep breath, and a faint smile curved his lips.
It seemed he had passed the first hurdle.
Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the kindergarten entrance, where many parents and children had already gathered, and the teacher was taking attendance.
Upon seeing this, Shen Xi quickly turned to urge the children, "Hurry, get ready to get off, the teacher has started taking attendance."
Hearing this, Qin Si Ye quickly pulled the car over to the side, unlocked the car doors, and said, "You all get off first, take your belongings, and go line up. I'll go find a suitable parking spot."
At this moment, Shen Xi's mind was focused on getting off the car quickly. She didn't even consider why he needed to park.
She quickly got out of the car with the three children, grabbed their backpacks and snack bags, and hurried towards where the teacher was taking attendance.
Not long after they arrived, they heard Teacher Li call out their names, "Shen Zi Chen, Shen Zi Shuo, Shen Zi Yan, are you here?"
"Here, here, Teacher Li, we've arrived," Shen Xi said, immediately pulling the three children forward to her.
Teacher Li looked up at them and frowned, "Only the four of you?"
"Yes," Shen Xi replied, somewhat surprised, not knowing why she asked.
