Qin Si Ye hung up the phone, turned around, and hugged Yin Xi, asking, "What were you hiding from just now?"
"I wasn't hiding, I just remembered I had to get up," Yin Xi replied somewhat awkwardly.
She couldn't possibly tell him that her reaction just now had been instinctive.
As soon as she heard it was Si Yue, her mind went blank, and she thought that person could see their current situation from the other end of the phone.
"Really?" Qin Si Ye's eyes were filled with doting affection as he lightly tapped her nose. "I thought you were shy and flustered, worried that Si Yue would see."
Hearing this, Yin Xi couldn't help but be startled. How could this man be so perceptive and capable of multitasking?
However, she wasn't about to admit to her foolish behavior just now.
"No, you're thinking too much. Get up quickly. Uncle isn't well, don't keep him waiting anxiously."
After speaking, Yin Xi sat up first and quickly got dressed.
"Aren't you going to sleep a little longer?" Qin Si Ye rolled over and got out of bed, immediately putting on his bathrobe.
"No need. I want to go with you," Yin Xi replied.
Qin Si Ye thought for a moment and replied, "Alright."
With her, the person involved, present, it would make his father more convinced of everything Meng Qi had done.
After they were both dressed, they went downstairs. The three children had just seen off their programming teacher.
"Daddy, Mommy, are you going out?" Chen Chen asked, glancing at the bag on Yin Xi's shoulder.
"Yes. We're going to the old house for something. You three behave yourselves at home, and we'll have dinner together tonight."
Yin Xi's gentle gaze swept across their faces one by one.
Yan Yan pouted and said playfully, "We miss Grandma and Grandpa too. Mommy, can you take us with you?"
"This..." Yin Xi hesitated and couldn't help but look at Qin Si Ye.
They were going to discuss the matter of Meng Qi and Lu Yu Shan, and she didn't want the children to overhear.
Qin Si Ye guessed her concern at a glance. He put his arm around her shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Let them go if they want to. Si Yue can take them out to play then."
Her eyes darted back and forth for a moment, and Yin Xi said to the three children, "Okay. Let's go together then."
"Oh, great!" The three little darlings cheered and ran towards the door.
The two adults behind them couldn't help but smile at each other and walked out the door hand in hand.
On the way, Yin Xi received a call from an unknown number.
"Hello! Hello!"
A sweet voice came from the other end of the line, "Hello! May I ask if this is Shen Zi Shuo's mother?"
Yin Xi frowned slightly. "Yes. May I ask who you are?"
The other party replied, "I am Jiang, the front desk receptionist at Qi Meng. I'm calling to inform you that Shen Zi Shuo's cubing class can be attended tomorrow."
"Ah?" Hearing this, Yin Xi couldn't help but be startled. "May I ask if the teacher has been changed?"
"No. Principal Jin is still teaching personally." Teacher Jiang's voice was still very pleasant. "Tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM, please bring the child on time. We apologize for the delay in the child's classes.
Principal Jin has asked me to discuss with you when it would be convenient for you to bring the child to make up the lessons.
We will have one make-up session per week, tentatively scheduled for Monday to Friday evenings from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM."
"This..." Yin Xi hesitated and continued, "I need to discuss it with the child before making a decision."
"Alright. Please make your decision as soon as possible. There are other children who might choose this time, and I'm afraid it might cause a conflict," Teacher Jiang reminded her on the phone.
"Okay. Thank you!" Yin Xi hung up the phone and fell into thought.
Jin Jing Chen could start classes so soon. Had he already overcome his trauma?
Just then, Qin Si Ye's voice came from beside her, "Who was on the phone just now? What do you need to discuss with the child?"
