Shi Xi chuckled, "I understand."

What kind of image does Xie Yunzhou have in Zhu Lin's mind?

Why is Zhu Lin so worried about her?

Shi Xi pushed open the door and went in.

The lights were warm, and the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen.

Shi Xi changed her shoes and went straight to the kitchen.

Xie Yunzhou was carefully chopping vegetables.

He was so engrossed in his work that he didn't even notice Shi Xi had come in.

Xie Yunzhou only turned around to look after Shi Xi opened the refrigerator and heard the noise.

"You're back." Xie Yunzhou's eyes were full of surprise.

"Hmm, is it not ready yet?" Shi Xi asked.

She traveled from Fengcheng to here, which took several hours.

It was well past lunchtime.

Shi Xi: I almost starved to death on the way.

Xie Yunzhou seemed to really want to hug and kiss Shi Xi, but he restrained himself and only kissed her on the cheek. "It's all done. You can wash your hands first."

Shi Xi: "Okay."

After washing her hands and returning to the restaurant, Shi Xi served the rice and saw Xie Yunzhou bringing out plate after plate of dishes.

Shi Xi stopped counting after the tenth dish.

After Xie Yunzhou sat down, Shi Xi asked, "Is it just the two of us?"

"Did I make a little too much?" Xie Yunzhou said apologetically, "I had nothing to do while waiting for you, so I accidentally made a little too much."

"It's okay, there's always another meal if we don't finish." Shi Xi picked up her chopsticks, and seeing Xie Yunzhou not moving, asked, "Why aren't you eating?"

Xie Yunzhou wanted to say he had no appetite, but not wanting Shi Xi to worry, he picked up his chopsticks.

The dining table fell silent instantly.

Shi Xi vaguely sensed that Xie Yunzhou's emotions were off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

And she can make such delicious dishes.

He was very gentle and kind to her.

Isn't this Xie Yunzhou in his normal form?

Shi Xi felt uneasy, but because she was so hungry, she quickly stopped thinking and just ate.

Xie Yunzhou ate very little and very slowly, mostly just watching Shi Xi.

Shi Xi was halfway through her meal when she noticed Xie Yunzhou had stopped eating. "Why aren't you eating?"

"I'm not very hungry," Xie Yunzhou said, trying to cover it up. "I ate a little while I was waiting for you."

Shi Xi found it strange, but she continued eating anyway.

After dinner, Xie Yunzhou followed Shi Xi to the living room, lay down on the sofa, hugged her, kissed her occasionally, but mostly just stared blankly.

"Did something happen?" Shi Xi couldn't help but ask, "Can you tell me?"

Xie Yunzhou struggled somewhat.

"About the Xie family?" Shi Xi asked.

Xie Yunzhou lowered his eyes and said, "Mm."

Shi Xi was puzzled and indignant: "It's Xie Er's own problem, what does it have to do with you? Besides, Hua Ruoling has already had her leg amputated, what else could they be dissatisfied with?"

Xie Yunzhou said in a low voice, "They want Xie Er to come out."

Shi Xi asked cautiously, "Can you do it?"

Xie Yunzhou didn't answer, but instead asked, "Do you want him to come out?"

Shi Xi sighed: "The family of the person who was hit won't forgive us either, will they?"

Xie Yunzhou: "I have already forgiven him and even issued a letter of understanding."

Shi Xi opened her mouth wide in surprise.

She remembered a speeding car that hit and killed a pregnant woman.

Xie Yunzhou added, "They gave us a lot of money."

Shi Xi didn't know what to say.

All I can say is that money is a wonderful thing.

"Then, what should I do?" Shi Xi didn't know how to ask.

“Because this is not a simple civil case, the letter of understanding issued by the other party’s family is useless.” Xie Yunzhou chuckled lightly, his voice cold and indifferent.

Shi Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry about what the Xie family says! At worst, I won't go back. I'll take care of you!"
