Yin Xi glanced at the two women in front of her, continuing in a gentle voice:
"Yes, the things are all bought."
"Nothing much, I just ran into an acquaintance and chatted a bit longer."
"What? Grandma and Uncle want us to go back to the old house for dinner. Okay, I'll head back now."
After speaking, she gave Meng Qi a playful smile, turned, and walked towards the elevator with light steps.
"Wait. Don't go." Meng Qi was unwilling and was about to step forward to grab her.
However, two bodyguards in black appeared as if from nowhere, blocking her path.
One respectfully took the bag from Yin Xi's hands, while the other clenched his fist and glared at Meng Qi ferociously.
It was as if he was saying, "We've been watching you for a long time. If you dare to trouble Miss Yin again, watch out."
Meng Qi's heart trembled, and she stopped in her tracks, not daring to move forward.
At this moment, Bai Lin stepped forward to support her, her voice sharp, "This Yin Xi is simply too arrogant today.
Relying on the fact that she unexpectedly gave birth to three children for the Qin family, she dares to be so overbearing in front of you.
Miss Meng, I think it's time for you to play your card."
Upon hearing this, Meng Qi's face, as cold as frost, revealed a malicious smile.
In fact, she had thought of that card a few days ago, but the timing was not right.
After Jin Zhanhao was arrested, she had been worried that he would reveal that she had provided him with information.
Therefore, she had endured it for the past few days and had not taken any further action.
However, judging from the current situation, Jin Zhanhao was still a man of integrity and had not betrayed her.
Then, she had to plan carefully how to play that important card.
When Yin Xi returned to Star Bay, the three children rushed to greet her, and the bodyguards brought in the clothes she had bought.
"Oh my god, Mommy, why did you buy so many things?" Chen Chen exclaimed in surprise.
Yin Xi smiled and replied, "It's not much when divided into three portions. Besides, these are all your essentials that Mommy tallied yesterday. I had to buy them."
Shuo Shuo calculated for a few seconds in his mind and asked, tilting his small head, "Mommy, that must have cost a lot of money, right?"
"It's alright," Yin Xi glanced at the clothes. Actually, she didn't know how much she had spent.
"When I went out this morning, your Daddy specifically gave me a card, and the clothes I bought for you were all paid for with his money.
You don't need to worry about this."
Yan Yan raised her eyebrows and said, "Exactly, Brother Shuo, this money is just a drop in the ocean for Daddy.
We'll enjoy it first. Let's study hard, and when we grow up, we'll earn money to spend for him."
This remark caused everyone in the living room to chuckle.
Sister Li came over and said, "Miss Yin, please rest for a while. I'll have someone deliver the clothes to the young masters' and young ladies' rooms later."
"Okay," Yin Xi lowered her head to sort them out before looking up at Chen Chen and asking, "Where's your Daddy?"
Didn't this man say on the phone that he was going to the old house for dinner? Why wasn't he here?
"He might be in the study upstairs. He hasn't come down all morning," Chen Chen replied.
"Alright. Get ready, we're going to the old house for dinner later." Saying this, she picked up the bag containing the diamond necklace and walked upstairs.
When she reached the study on the third floor, Yin Xi raised her hand to knock and enter, then glanced at the bag in her hand and hesitated.
She'd better put it back in the bedroom first.
Don't let him misunderstand anything again.
But as soon as she stepped into the bedroom, a man's deep voice came from behind her.
"Do you like this necklace very much?"
"Ah?" Yin Xi's body stiffened. She turned around abruptly, and the bag in her hand slipped. She could only smile and reply, "Yes."
"Then why didn't you say so earlier?" Qin Siye walked slowly towards her.
"Say what earlier?" Yin Xi was a little confused.
"If you had said earlier that you liked this necklace, I would have had someone deliver it directly to our home. Why did you have to go to the mall to buy it yourself?" Qin Siye said, taking her hand.
If it were like this, what would that make her?
"No. Siye, you might have misunderstood," Yin Xi quickly explained to him. "I bought this necklace not for myself, but as a pre-engagement gift for Yi Fei."
Qin Siye looked at her intently for a moment and asked, "Are you saying that none of the necklaces you endorsed caught your eye?"
