She paused, feeling a little guilty all of a sudden. What was going on?

Mo You also saw him and quickly changed his playful expression. He stood up straight, like a primary school student who had made a mistake and was afraid of being caught.

Qin Yan walked towards them.

Ning Xi watched his tall figure approaching, especially his heavy eyes looking at her, which made her inexplicably nervous, "You, you're back?"

"Yeah." Qin Yan responded lightly, and his eyes swept coldly over Mo You beside him.

Mo You: “…”

Suddenly I felt a gust of cold wind blowing across my neck. What’s going on?

"Falling asleep?" Qin Yan's gaze had already fallen on Shuo Shuo in Ning Xi's arms.

"Well, I've been walking outside for a long time and I'm tired." Ning Xi said.

Qin Yan nodded slightly, then stretched out his hands: "Give it to me."

Ning Xi was stunned again, with surprise flashing in his eyes.

She stared at his outstretched hands before carefully stepping forward and placing Shuo Shuo in his arms.

Unexpectedly, he was very skilled in holding the child, and even when he saw that Shuo Shuo was a little uneasy, he patted him gently twice.

Mo You looked at the two of them, gradually showing an auntie smile on his face, and then when he saw Qin Yan looking over, he quickly put away his smile and said, "Well, well, Xixi, since Mr. Qin is here, I'll go back first."

"Okay, drive carefully." Qin Yan came back, so Ning Xi naturally couldn't take Mo You up on his own initiative, so he didn't keep her and nodded.

"Don't worry, you should go up with Mr. Qin quickly. After all, you have been separated for several days!" Mo You said deliberately and blinked ambiguously.

Ning Xi's face suddenly became hot when he saw this. He quickly glared at her and told her to leave quickly.

Mo You smiled secretly and left quickly. After she left, Ning Xi turned around and took a peek at the tall man next to her.

Qin Yan still had that cold face, but from her angle, she could just see his taut jawline and sexy Adam's apple.

"Let's go." Qin Yan said lightly.

"Yeah." Ning Xi picked up the things at his feet, followed him to the corridor, and then picked up his suitcase at the corridor door.

After returning home, Qin Yan handed Shuo Shuo back to her.

Ning Xi carried Shuo Shuo back to his room to sleep.

When I came out, Qin Yan was no longer in the living room.

She packed up the things she bought and placed the ones she used daily in the kitchen and the living room, and some small items for decorating the study, which she placed in the study.

When I came out again, it was already past four o'clock.

She looked at Qin Yan's door and was about to go up and knock on it, but Qin Yan opened the door first.

Seeing her standing at the door, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's the matter?"

"Well, are you eating dinner at home? If so, I'll make more."

"Okay, let's eat at home." Qin Yan nodded slightly.

Ning Xi understood and turned to go to the kitchen.

Shuo Shuo woke up after sleeping for half an hour. Seeing Qin Yan coming back, a hint of surprise flashed across his little face. Then he went to the kitchen to find Ning Xi, but Ning Xi sent him out, so he had to go to the living room to face Qin Yan again.

Qin Yan also looked at him. He had clearly taken the initiative to stick to him when Ning Xi went to the police station last time, but now that Ning Xi came back, he stayed away from him again.

The two of them stared at each other in the living room. Finally, Qin Yan went back to the room, took out a chess set, put it on the coffee table and said, "Want to play?"

Shuo Shuo looked at him, then at the chess set he had laid out, and nodded slightly.

When Ning Xi cooked two dishes, he saw two people, one big and one small, sitting on the sofa, playing chess.

The two people were concentrating and didn't notice her, but she saw that they seemed... very happy!

She couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth and went into the kitchen to make them something delicious.

By the time she called for dinner, the house was already filled with the aroma of food.

Qin Yan and Shuo Shuo came over after washing their hands. When they saw the dishes of fried pork with peppers, stewed pork ribs with potatoes, mushrooms and vegetables, and a mushroom soup on the table, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

After having tasted the noodles she made, I didn’t expect that she is also good at stir-frying. Just looking at them makes me hungry.

"Eat." Ning Xi set the table and carried Shuo Shuo to a stool.

Qin Yan sat down in silence. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes clearly lit up when he ate the ribs.

Ning Xi looked at him and seemed to be quite satisfied with the dishes. He curled his lips and said, "If you want to eat anything in the future, you can tell me and I will cook it when I am free."

Qin Yan stopped eating and said, "Braised pork."

Ning Xi: “…”

You are very welcome.

She twitched her lips, but she had said it herself and there was no reason to regret it, so she nodded and said, "Okay."

After dinner, Qin Yan actually took the initiative to wash the dishes. Although his every move still seemed handsome and cool, his movements were very skillful and he even knew how to pick up the garbage.

This made her curious about his identity.

If you say he is a big shot, he seems quite down-to-earth. If you say he is an ordinary person, he always feels that he is not simple... She wondered whether she should find a chance to ask him, but she was afraid of crossing the line and making him unhappy, which would also cause trouble for herself.

"Om..."

The ringing of the cell phone suddenly brought Ning Xi back to his senses.

She looked over and saw it was Ning Lan calling. She picked up the phone and asked, "Aunt?"

"Xixi, are you free now?" Ning Lan asked anxiously on the phone.

Ning Xi's heart tightened, and she hurriedly asked, "Aunt, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?"

"I, you, can you come over now? I have something to tell you." Ning Lan said to her.

Ning Xi became even more worried and said hurriedly, "Okay, I'll be there right away, don't worry."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and was about to take his things and go out.

Qin Yan came out of the kitchen and saw her anxious look and asked, "What happened?"

"I don't know. My aunt asked me to come over, so I went to take a look. Can you help me take care of Shuo Shuo?" Ning Xi said to Shuo Shuo who was standing next to the sofa with a nervous and worried look on his face.

Qin Yan glanced at Shuo Shuo, then looked at her, frowned and said, "How about we go together?"

"No need, I'll be back soon. Just help me take care of Shuo Shuo." Ning Xi was not worried about herself, she just didn't want to scare Shuo Shuo.

If anything happens to Ning Lan, she can go by herself.

"Then you should focus on safety." Qin Yan also thought of Shuo Shuo's unusualness, so he didn't force it.

"Thank you." Ning Xi thanked him, quickly took his things and left.

She went downstairs, took a taxi and went to Ning Lan as quickly as possible.

"Auntie! Auntie!"

When she arrived at Ning Lan's house, she knocked on the door hurriedly.

"I'm here!" Ning Lan quickly opened the door. Ning Xi was relieved to see that she was fine and not injured.

Then he asked, "Aunt, what happened?"

Ning Lan saw her anxious look and felt a little guilty, so she hurriedly said, "Come in first and talk."

Ning Xi walked in upon hearing that.

When his eyes swept across the dining table, he paused slightly, then walked to the sofa, "Aunt, what happened?"

"Um, Xixi..." Ning Lan looked a little embarrassed. She clenched her hands awkwardly, moved her mouth, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Ning Xi's heart sank slightly.
