At the entrance of the Qin family's residence.

Shi Xi stopped Di Chenxiao in his tracks, "Xiaoxiao, why don't you go back first?"

"good."

"Thank you, Xiaoxiao. I... I'm scared. Please let me see my parents again in a while, okay?"

Di Chenxiao patted her head. "Okay. You go in first, and I'll leave after I see you go in."

Shi Xi nodded. "Goodbye, Xiao Xiao."

She took Qin Xue's hand and nervously walked towards the Qin family home.

Di Chenxiao watched Shi Xi gradually leave until the girl could no longer be seen.

His once smiling face instantly turned gloomy.

He also wanted to go to the Qin family and gain Xixi's parents' approval. However, when Xixi looked at him with her wet eyes, all his thoughts became unimportant.

Di Chenxiao said coldly, "Burn Uncle Chong's daughter's dress."

Emperor's Wine: ? ? ?

"Miss Chong Shuang's dress?"

The car got even colder.

"The dress Xixi was wearing."

Emperor Wine: "...Yes."

Their master was truly cold and taciturn in front of them.

It turns out Miss Shi was wearing double-layered clothes; no wonder the master made her change.

So, the master didn't do anything inappropriate to Miss Shi.

He seems to know something incredible!

**

Inside the Qin family's house.

As soon as Qin Xue and Shi Xi entered the door, they were embraced by their parents.

Qin's mother: "Xiaoxue, are you hurt? Are you feeling unwell?"

Qin Xue hugged her mother tightly and sobbed, "Mom, I'm okay."

It feels so good to be home. She used to dislike going home, but now she realizes that home is a safe haven.

Shi Xi comforted her mother for a long time before her mother stopped crying.

Shi's mother: "We're going back now. You two can have a good chat."

Qin's mother held Shi Xi's hand and said gratefully, "Thank you, Xiao Xi."

"Aunt, it's nothing, don't worry about it. My parents and I are going home now, my older brothers are still waiting for me!"

"Alright, I won't waste any more words. You can go back now! We'll talk again another day."

Shi Xi was helped into the car by her parents on either side.

She could sense her parents' worry. "I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, I made you worry!"

Shi's mother: "Silly child, don't say sorry. As long as you are safe and sound, that's all that matters."

Father: "My darling daughter, you scared me to death. I thought I'd never see you again. You have no idea how much my heart nearly jumped out of my chest when I found out you went to rescue Xiaoxue all by yourself. I..."

"It won't happen again. Mom and Dad, I promise." Shi Xi hugged her parents.

While Shi Xi and her parents were comforting each other, they did not see a pair of terrifying, hidden eyes peeking out from the window on the second floor of the Qin family's house.

The man said menacingly, "Have Master Chen's men found me?"

"Don't worry, you left early, no one will find out that you kidnapped Qin Xue," the person on the other end of the phone said.

"Shi Xi, I'll remember you. How dare you ruin my plans—"

"Second Young Master, Shi Xi has the You family and Master Chen behind her, so it won't be easy for us to make a move!"

The man smiled sinisterly, "Isn't Master Chen very respectful to Chong En? Chong En's goddaughter likes Master Chen, so let's start with her. As long as Master Chen abandons Shi Xi, the Shi family will be no problem then."

The man continued, "Once Shi Xi is in my hands, I will make her wish she were dead!"

The man on the phone said, "Second Young Master, my master now wants Shi Xi alive; she cannot die. As for Qin Xue, my master will no longer concern himself with her."

"Okay." The man hung up the phone.

As long as Shi Xi is alive, that's enough, isn't it?

While in the car, Shi Xi felt a chill run down her spine, as if she were being stared at by a venomous snake, and her hair stood on end.

Shi's mother noticed something was wrong with Shi Xi. "Xiao Xi, why are you so cold all over? Are you sick?"

"I'm not sick. It's probably just that it's too big outside and I'm feeling a bit cold."
