She walked out of the kitchen and headed towards the small garden.

"Why are you here today? Is Xixi here?"

She thought it was Qin Yan who came, and before he even left the house, she asked with a smile.

When I saw clearly who was holding Nian Nian in the garden, I was stunned.

"Mingqi, why are you here?"

After a moment of hesitation, Qin Yun revealed a crescent-shaped smile.

Ming Qi came over holding Nian Nian, "If you're passing by, come and see little Nian Nian!"

He smiled and squeezed Xiao Nian Nian's hand, but his eyes stayed on Qin Yun's smiling face.

Although her smile remained the same, it could not hide the paleness of weakness on her face.

Ming Qi's eyes dimmed for a moment, and his heart ached violently.

In fact, Qin Yan didn’t know, and no one even knew, that he was more anxious than anyone else to find Dr. Huo, so he volunteered to go to your province.

But the result is...

There was a dull pain in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. Ming Qi still maintained his suave smile, hiding everything very well.

Qin Yun naturally didn't notice anything and said with a smile, "Thank you. She just likes playing with you and A Yan."

As she spoke, she looked at her daughter tenderly.

"That means she likes us very much." Ming Qi said.

"Yes! You haven't eaten yet, right? Stay for dinner tonight!" Qin Yun said.

"Okay!" Ming Qi agreed readily.

"Then let's go in first. The meal is almost ready. I really want to eat something different today, and I just asked the chef to make it in the kitchen." Qin Yun said, controlling the wheelchair to turn around and look back.

Ming Qi hurriedly handed Nian Nian to the nanny beside him and went forward to help her push the wheelchair.

Qin Yun didn't bother to be polite with him. Because of Qin Yan, she treated Ming Qi and Xiang Chuanbei as her own brothers.

She let him push her into the house and asked, "Ayan said last time that you were on a business trip to Southeast Asia. When did you come back?"

"I just got back yesterday."

"That took a long time. Thank you for your hard work."

"Indeed, a little bit. Remember, ask your brother to give me a raise." Ming Qi said jokingly.

Qin Yun was amused by him and said, "Okay, I will definitely tell him."

The two chatted and laughed as they walked towards the restaurant.

…

Before Ning Xi made dinner, she received a message from Qin Yan that he would be working overtime and would be back late.

So Shuo Shuo and I had a simple meal to make do with our dinner.

When Qin Yan came back, Shuo Shuo had already fallen asleep. She was the only one sitting in the living room, wearing glasses, with a laptop on her crossed legs and flipping through a medical book in her hands.

Hearing the movement coming from the entrance, he looked over there, "You're back?"

Qin Yan changed his shoes, took off his coat and walked in.

Seeing her like this, his eyes lingered on her face for a moment before he said, "Well, is the child asleep?"

Ning Xi nodded and asked, "Have you had dinner?"

"not yet."

Yesterday's and today's work piled up together, and he was so busy that he had no time to eat.

When Ning Xi heard this, she just frowned, then said nothing, took the laptop off her lap, and walked towards the kitchen.

If we can eat on time, no one wants to go hungry, but we have no choice.

So she knew that it was useless to say more, so she might as well get him something to eat quickly.

If it was when they just got married, Ning Xi would definitely not be so proactive, but after spending more than half a month together, especially what happened in the past two days, she also seriously wanted to treat him better.

Just consider it as a reward.

However, her injured foot was still wrapped in gauze, and she walked with a limp. Seeing this, Qin Yan quickly stopped her and frowned slightly, saying, "What do you want? I'll get it for you."

"I won't take anything. I'll go make you something to eat."

Qin Yan's brows furrowed even more tightly. "No, I can do it myself. Just sit there."

After saying that, he hesitated for a moment, then grabbed her arm with one hand and her waist with the other, used the force to turn her back, and lifted her up and put her on the sofa.

Ning Xi: “…”

When Ning Xi sat back on the sofa, she was still a little confused.

Qin Yan took another look at her gauze-wrapped feet.

When I asked for a break at noon, in addition to taking care of the children, I was also worried about her injury.

However, he is a thoughtful person and would not express this secret and inexplicable worry directly.

However, Ning Xi is not stupid!

It's so obvious and yet you can't see it.

So he stopped trying to be brave and just said with a smile: "Mr. Qin, you really care about me!"

Qin Yan's face flashed with discomfort, and then he pretended to be serious and said, "If you're injured, you should be more aware of it. You told me that."

"Oh~~" Ning Xi deliberately dragged out the last word, "So, you don't care about me? And you don't even feel sorry for your wife?"

Ning Xi teased him deliberately, shaking her fair feet. Actually, they were almost healed. She had only applied some medicine and wrapped them with gauze, but she hadn't expected to make him worry.

Looking into her sparkling eyes, Qin Yan's heart beat violently and the tips of his ears turned red.

I wanted to say no, but the words changed as they came out of my mouth. "I'm going to make something to eat. Please sit down."

After saying that, he turned around and walked quickly to the kitchen. His back looked like he was fleeing in panic.

Ning Xi smiled even brighter!

You're so funny, have you really never been in love?

Thinking of this, she deliberately raised her voice and said, "Mr. Qin, you didn't treat your ex-girlfriend like this before, did you?"

After she finished speaking, the kitchen fell silent. Just when Ning Xi thought he didn't want to talk anymore, she heard a muffled voice.

"No!"

What does "no" mean? Does it mean he doesn't have a girlfriend, or does it mean he has never treated his girlfriend that way?

Although she had always avoided prying into his personal privacy, his attitude towards Shuo Shuo yesterday still had some impact on her.

If he can accept Shuo Shuo, then she can also muster up the courage to take a step forward.

So, she stood up and walked to the kitchen door, watching Qin Yan skillfully boil water and cook dumplings, and said, "Mr. Qin, can I ask you one more question, what do you mean by no specifics?"

After asking, she looked at him nervously.

She didn't know how he would react. If he was disgusted by this, she wouldn't ask any more questions.

But what if…

Qin Yan paused and turned to look at her.

Facing her smiling expression, his heart couldn't help but tighten for a moment, then he pretended not to care and said, "No, I don't mean that."

Ning Xi: “…”

Disappointment flashed across her eyes, and she said "oh". The little courage she had just mustered up also disappeared in an instant.

Qin Yan heard that she seemed disappointed with her answer. Why was she disappointed?

He has never been in love, so naturally he doesn't have one.

However, after a moment of silence, he still explained, "I've never had a girlfriend, so no."

After saying that, he calmly turned around and pretended to start fishing for dumplings.

But the ears had turned completely red like cooked shrimps.
