"Finish what you want! Sun Yang, I'm asking you, when did Second Master say she was dead? Second Master's order is to find her!" the man on the other end roared angrily. "You stay close and observe carefully. I'll report to Second Master first! Don't make any rash moves, and contact me directly if anything happens!"
"Okay, I understand." Sun Yang quickly replied, his eyes never leaving Shen Zhi Qiu for a moment.
Shen Zhi Qiu grabbed her bag, locked her car, and headed towards the elevator at the supermarket entrance.
Sun Yang followed from a distance. To make it seem more realistic, he quickly grabbed a shopping cart after entering the supermarket, pretending to be a shopper.
Shen Zhi Qiu first went to the dairy product shelf. She lowered her head slightly, picked up a bottle of yogurt labeled "0 sugar," and started looking at the ingredient list on the back to see if it was really sugar-free, since she needed to strictly control her sugar intake recently.
After confirming, she put the yogurt into her shopping cart. Then she started picking out milk. Just as she reached for a bottle of milk, a pair of slender hands grabbed it first and held it up in front of her. Looking at those well-defined hands, she looked up without surprise.
"Brother Mingyu," Shen Zhi Qiu greeted him casually.
"What a coincidence, Zhi Qiu." Si Mingyu looked at Shen Zhi Qiu with tender eyes, his face bearing the same gentle smile as always, giving off a warm and sunny feeling.
"I heard you were back and wanted to contact you, but I was afraid you'd be busy and it would bother you, so I hesitated to text you. I never expected to run into you at the supermarket today." He looked around, a little puzzled, and asked, "Are you alone?"
"Hmm. I stopped by to buy some things." Shen Zhi Qiu said as she put a few more bottles of milk and a few bags of cheese sticks into the shopping cart.
Si Mingyu's eyes darkened, and he said with a gentle smile, "You still like this cheese stick? I didn't expect you to buy it again after so many years."
"Yeah, I'm used to it." Shen Zhi Qiu didn't want to say more, so she simply replied and continued to select items.
Seeing her cold attitude, Si Mingyu involuntarily pursed his lips, said nothing more, and quietly stood aside watching her choose things.
"Mommy, Mommy, here are my favorite cheese sticks! I want to buy more!" A little boy ran quickly toward the refrigerator, and in his excitement, he accidentally bumped into Shen Zhi Qiu's shopping cart, which slid forward.
Shen Zhi Qiu had her back to him and was completely unaware of the impending danger.
At the critical moment, Si Mingyu quickly reached out and grabbed the handcart on Shen Zhiqiu's back, thus preventing him from hitting Shen Zhiqiu's lower back.
Hearing the noise, Shen Zhi Qiu turned around and realized what had happened. Feeling a little scared, she turned to the side.
"Thank you, Mingyu. You would have been in trouble if it weren't for me," Shen Zhi Qiu whispered to Si Mingyu.
"It's nothing. It's my fault for not being careful enough. I should have predicted this situation earlier." Si Mingyu was a little worried, but also a little relieved that he happened to be there.
"You child! Always so reckless! Quickly apologize to your sister!" The little boy's mother came over upon hearing the news. Seeing her child standing somewhat guiltily to the side, and then seeing Si Mingyu's serious face tightly gripping the stroller and Shen Zhi Qiu's slightly protruding belly with a lingering look of fear on her face, she roughly understood what had happened, so she quickly urged her child to apologize.
"Be more careful next time. It would be troublesome if you bumped into your sister, she's pregnant too." The little boy's mother said seriously, squatting down slightly and pointing at Shen Zhi Qiu.
"I'm sorry, sister. I was wrong! I won't run around on the road again next time! Please forgive me!" The little boy lowered his head and sincerely apologized to Shen Zhi Qiu.
Seeing the little girl apologize so earnestly, Shen Zhi Qiu's dissatisfaction and fear vanished. She smiled and comforted her, "Okay, I forgive you. But you must be careful next time!"
The little boy looked up and smiled, "Thank you, sister!" Then he nodded vigorously, promising, "Don't worry, sister, I'll definitely be careful! A man's word is his bond!"
"Alright, let's go choose your favorite food." The little boy's mother said, patting his head and smiling with satisfaction. Then she nodded to Shen Zhi Qiu and led the little boy away.
Shen Zhi Qiu couldn't help but be moved as she watched their retreating figures.
"Hehe, your family is really interesting." Suddenly a man's voice rang out behind Si Mingyu.
Shen Zhi Qiu was somewhat surprised. She turned her head and saw Fu Jing Ran, who was looking at Shen Zhi Qiu and Si Ming Yu with a mocking expression.
Standing beside him was a petite and adorable girl. The girl was curiously sizing up Shen Zhi Qiu, her eyes were very clear, and she looked like an innocent little girl, exuding the purity of a student.
Somewhat bewildered, she tugged at Fu Jingran's sleeve and whispered, "Who is this?"
Fu Jingran didn't answer her question. Instead, he casually put his arm around her shoulder, glanced at Shen Zhi Qiu, then at Si Ming Yu, and said disdainfully, "Shen Zhi Qiu, you people are really disgusting!"
Si Mingyu frowned, his face darkening with anger, and said, "Jingran, do you even know what nonsense you're spouting?! Apologize to Zhi Qiu!"
"Apologize? Heh!" Fu Jingran gave a mocking smile, his eyes icy as he said, "Her husband has done so many disgusting things, and she's afraid of what people will say? I admire her; she hasn't divorced him after all this. She's really good at enduring! I just don't know whether Xiao Wanqing or she is the real wife of Gu Qingyan! Haha!"
Si Mingyu lowered his eyes, a hint of murderous intent flashing in them.
Shen Zhi Qiu, with her fiery temper, couldn't stand being humiliated like this without fighting back. She turned around angrily, grabbed a glass bottle from the shelf, and was about to smash it. Si Ming Yu reacted quickly, pressing her hand down and gently shaking his head at her.
He gently pried her fingers open and put the glass bottle back. Shen Zhi Qiu's anger deepened, and she wanted to throw something else at Fu Jing Ran. But Si Ming Yu grabbed her hand, gently pulled her aside, lowered his head slightly, and said softly, "Don't get angry and hurt yourself, it's not worth it. Don't move here, so you don't hurt yourself."
Shen Zhi Qiu didn't understand what he said and was a little confused, but Si Ming Yu quickly pulled the handcart over, then held it firmly in front of Shen Zhi Qiu and blocked her way.
After doing all this, Si Mingyu strode forward, his gentle expression vanishing instantly, replaced by a ruthless and irritable one; his good temper had completely disappeared.
