“No, I… I just wanted to go to the restroom.” A few blushes instantly appeared on Shen Xi’s cheeks.
“Really? Why do I feel like you’re trying to run away?” Qin Si Ye’s lips curved slightly as he reached out to caress her beautiful face.
The wild scenes from last night kept flashing in his mind, the feeling almost the same as five years ago.
“Where can I possibly run? The children are all under your watchful eye.” Shen Xi smiled helplessly.
“Hahaha, that’s true.” Qin Si Ye chuckled heartily and dotingly tapped her nose, “Last night, do you still remember what you said?”
“Mhm.” Shen Xi’s long lashes fluttered a few times, and her small face flushed again.
Last night in the shower, the effects of the medicine hadn’t fully kicked in yet, and her consciousness was still somewhat clear. She just couldn’t control her actions, and she remembered what she had said and done.
Actually, after leaving the private room, the moment she saw that the person saving her was Qin Si Ye, she had already prepared herself in her heart to give herself to this man.
Whether Su Chengyu returned or not no longer mattered. She couldn’t bear it any longer. She wanted to take a gamble and personally explain the truth to this man who had always loved her deeply.
“It’s good that you remember. From now on, you have to be responsible for me.” Qin Si Ye gazed at her shamelessly and slowly leaned closer to her, “I took care of you all night yesterday, now you have to reward me.”
“Wait.” Shen Xi immediately extended her hand to block his firm chest, “Qin Si Ye, I have something important to tell you.”
“No rush. It’s not too late to talk after we’re done.” Qin Si Ye’s lips curved into a devilishly charming smile. Just as he was about to move closer to her lips, his phone suddenly rang.
“You have a call,” Shen Xi quickly reminded him.
Qin Si Ye paused slightly, not even looking at the phone. He directly reached out and turned off the ringtone, “Don’t worry about it, let’s continue.”
For him now, everything else was a mere cloud; only the woman in front of him mattered most.
But as he kissed Shen Xi’s lips and was about to make his next move, the phone rang again.
Shen Xi, however, felt a sense of foreboding. She forcefully pushed away the man above her.
“Qin Si Ye, the call is so urgent, there must be something. Quickly check who’s calling. If it’s from home, could it be Grandma….”
Before she could finish speaking, Qin Si Ye immediately picked up his phone and took a look. “It’s Steward Liu.”
It was indeed a call from home.
He immediately rolled off her, half-leaning against the headboard, and slid to answer.
“Hello?”
Steward Liu on the other end said something, and Qin Si Ye abruptly sat up straight, his brows furrowed tightly.
“What did you say? How did they find that place? And who let them in?”
Steward Liu said a few more words that Shen Xi couldn’t hear clearly.
“Alright. I’ll be right back.”
After hanging up, Shen Xi pulled the covers up and sat up, asking with concern, “What happened? Is something wrong at home?”
Qin Si Ye quickly put on his bathrobe and got out of bed.
“My father and aunt suddenly barged into the Hua Ban Li Villa, saying they had something urgent to discuss with me. Grandma asked you to come over too.”
“Ah? I… I don’t have any clothes to wear.” Shen Xi said in surprise and shyness.
Recalling the events in the shower last night, all her clothes should still be scattered there, not yet dry.
Qin Si Ye, who was about to head to the washroom, paused slightly.
“There’s a clothes dryer here. How about I call a female attendant to help you?”
“No. No need, I can do it myself.” Shen Xi quickly refused. How could she trouble others with such matters?
Since there was a dryer, it would be easy.
Shen Xi put on her bathrobe and got out of bed. She intended to go into the washroom first to get her clothes, but seeing Qin Si Ye walk in, she stopped him and walked towards the sofa.
She picked up her bag and opened her phone, seeing several anxious messages from Yin Zhe.
She hadn’t returned all night, and she guessed the children must be worried sick.
Shen Xi quickly replied, “I’m fine. Everything is good. Tell the children not to worry.”
At that moment, Qin Si Ye walked out of the washroom and headed for the cloakroom. Shen Xi quickly stood up, “Qin Si Ye, why don’t you go back and take a look first? I’ll rush over as soon as my clothes are dry.”
