"So I broke up with him." Qin Xiaoyu gave him a cold look, letting him figure it out for himself.

"Qin Xiaoyu? What a coincidence." A woman in a white fur coat walked over. She was plump, and it seemed that she was more than just fat; she was probably pregnant.

The key point is that her face was terribly thin, as if she had aged ten years in an instant. She looked somewhat like a married couple with Zuo Xiangyang. Was that really Bai Weiwei?

"Oh, what a coincidence." Qin Xiaoyu didn't want to say anything more to her.

"I'm pregnant, aren't you going to congratulate me?" Bai Weiwei wasn't about to let her off the hook.

"Congratulations. No matter what, the arrival of a new life into the world is something to celebrate." Qin Xiaoyu was too lazy to argue with the two people and pulled the two siblings away.

"Qin Xiaoyu, you're absolutely right. Every little life that comes into the world deserves congratulations, whether it has a father or not." Bai Weiwei laughed heartily.

Qin Xiaoyu broke out in a cold sweat; it seemed she knew quite a lot.

"I thought our matter was over."

"Whether the painting was completed or not is up to me. I've already paid the price, while you're thriving. I feel wronged. You snatched Zhou Xing away, and you didn't do anything wrong."

"I didn't steal him; we broke up a long time ago."

"Qin Xiaoyu, I really admire you the most. You can still be friends after breaking up. That's amazing."

"Hehe, you flatter me. I'm taking my child to pay New Year's visits. See you later." Qin Xiaoyu felt that her words were implying something, and fearing that she was talking nonsense, she quickly took her child and left.

"Wait, one last question. Think about it when it's quiet at night. Qi Si was so good to you, he risked his life to protect you, but Zhou Xing made you suffer a great loss. How could he have survived Qi Si's clutches? Besides, you two broke up." Bai Weiwei's face was full of smiles. To outsiders, it looked like two best friends had a heart-to-heart talk.

Qin Xiaoyu was disgusted by that smile, turned around and pulled the two children away. The younger sister was only staring at Bai Weiwei and, not paying attention, slipped and fell.

The ground was covered with compacted snow, as slippery as ice. The little girl slid towards the middle of the road, and a car suddenly sped out from inside.

Qin Xiaoyu was carrying something in her hand and rushed forward in a hurry, but her high-heeled boots made it difficult for her to get any leverage and she slipped and fell. Just then, a figure rushed out, picked up the girl on the ground, and rolled her lightly to the side.

The car veered and crashed into the green belt next to it. Qin Xiaoyu scrambled to her feet and rushed to the person's side.

The little girl was unharmed, her eyes wide open, reaching out her arms for a hug.

"Thank you, thank you!" Qin Xiaoyu hugged her little sister and looked her up and down before remembering to thank her benefactor.

"Ah Lei?" Qin Xiaoyu exclaimed in surprise. She had almost completely forgotten about him. He hadn't appeared since Bai Weiwei's wedding, but the impression he left was too deep for her to forget.

"Long time no see, how are you?" A Lei's smile was as warm and gentle as ever.

"What's going on with you guys! My new car!" The driver got out and stormed over.

"Is it necessary to drive so fast in the residential area? The road is so slippery, what if someone gets hurt!" Qin Xiaoyu was no pushover either. Although she was just out of danger, she was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat, and she really wanted to slap the driver.

"Stop talking nonsense and pay for the car."

"How much do you want?" A Lei turned around and faced the driver.

The driver glanced at him in surprise, then suddenly realized something. He bowed and apologized profusely. Before Qin Xiaoyu could react, he had already disappeared in a flash, leaving the car standing there, steaming.

When Qin Xiaoyu turned around, Bai Weiwei, who had been gloating just moments before, was gone. It seemed that A Lei had a built-in ability to clear the scene.

"Are you alright?" Qin Xiaoyu recalled the situation just now, still feeling shaken.

"It's nothing, I'm used to falling when I play polo, it's really nothing." Are smiled kindly. Strange, why is everyone afraid of such a nice guy?

"Thank you, I'm taking the child to visit relatives for the New Year." Qin Xiaoyu was about to leave with her little sister in her arms when she suddenly felt a lightness in her arms; her little sister was already in A Lei's arms.

"Where are you going? I'll take you."

"I'm going to the home of Director Wang of the cultural troupe." Qin Xiaoyu was very obedient in front of him, perhaps because the Lei family had helped her a lot last time, and she always felt indebted to them.

"There's still a long way to go, get in the car." A Lei opened the door of a Jeep parked by the roadside, put his younger sister inside, and Qin Xiaoyu led Hanhan to sit in the back seat.

"Wow, Beijing Cherokee! Selec-Trac all-wheel drive system!" Hanhan, who has always been interested in mechanical things, had her eyes light up as soon as she got into the car.

“Looks like you know a lot. I also have a Command-Trac part-time four-wheel drive system,” Are said with a smile.

"Full-time four-wheel drive is still the most stable," Hanhan said maturely.

"This is my son, Hanhan, and this is my daughter, Xiaomei," Qin Xiaoyu introduced them.

"I know, I've heard about it before. Hanhan is well-read, and her younger sister plays the piano well, isn't that right?" A Lei's omniscient manner greatly surprised Hanhan and her younger sister, who stared at each other with their mouths agape.

"Looks like I'm quite famous," Qin Xiaoyu could only laugh at herself.

“No, you’re not famous, so you might not be important to others, but you’re different to me. I want to know everything about you.” A Lei glanced in the rearview mirror, and Qin Xiaoyu suddenly noticed something different, which made her a little flustered.

“It’s the building up ahead, I recognize it. Let’s park the car.” Qin Xiaoyu pointed, eager to escape her predicament.

"If it's convenient, I'd like to invite you to dinner," A Lei said, turning around after parking the car.

"Okay." Qin Xiaoyu gave a polite smile.

"Don't try to fool me." The smile on A Lei's face had disappeared, and he looked somewhat serious.

"Okay." Qin Xiaoyu's momentum weakened a bit. She had embarrassed herself in front of A Lei before, so she wasn't very confident.

"You should be free tomorrow night, so wait for my call. I won't see you up. Be careful on your way back." A Lei's last words of advice made Qin Xiaoyu feel particularly awkward. When did their relationship become so close that they cared about each other?

It seemed that A Lei had been paying attention to her all along, which surprised her. Never get involved in matters of the heart, remember that.

Qin Xiaoyu doesn't need love now. She has no time, no energy, and no heart to hurt anyone else. She's just an empty shell; her heart is gone.

Qin Xiaoyu and her two children knocked on the door of Commander Wang's house.

"Sister-in-law? Come in quickly." It was Wang Lei who opened the door, with his usual simple and pure smile. Qin Xiaoyu felt relieved; it was still easier to deal with people like him.

Just as Wang Lei described, Commander Wang's husband was a kind and simple-minded man who was very warm towards the two children, and the two children liked him very much.

"Come here, look!" Commander Wang pulled Qin Xiaoyu to the window and pointed downstairs for her to see.

Four people passed by, but Qin Xiaoyu didn't recognize them because of their backs.
