Shi Xi smelled the faint minty scent on Di Chenxiao.
She teased, "Xiao Xiao, isn't it a bit much that you're so enthusiastic as soon as you arrive?"
Seeing that Shi Xi could still joke, Di Chenxiao's worried heart calmed down.
He released Shi Xi and instead put his arm around her shoulder.
She murmured, "Xixi, don't worry."
"I'm not worried. I have you, my older brothers, my parents, and my thirteenth brother—so many people to protect me. I'm not worried at all!"
"Coo coo—"
Shi Xi covered her little tummy in protest of not having eaten breakfast, her face flushed.
Di Chenxiao asked Thirteen with a chilling aura, "Xixi didn't eat breakfast. How did you take care of her?"
Thirteen's face turned pale. "It was my mistake."
"Ouch~~~, it's my fault. Don't blame Thirteen."
Di Chenxiao said with concern, "You didn't have breakfast? I'll make some!"
Shi Xi took the man's hand and asked, "No need to make anything, breakfast is already prepared. I'm waiting for you to eat together. Have you had breakfast?"
"No."
"Let's go eat."
Shi Xi looked at Thirteen with a face full of apology.
Thirteen shook his head, indicating that it was no problem.
Shi Xi had never seen Di Chenxiao angry, nor had she seen him train his bodyguards; otherwise, she would have thought that Di Chenxiao's attitude just now was relatively mild.
Shi Xi sat to the left of Di Chenxiao.
"Xiaoxiao, try the white fungus and lily porridge, it's delicious. Although none of these breakfasts are as good as yours, the taste is still pretty good."
Shi Xi ate her breakfast in big mouthfuls.
She had only eaten some fruit in the morning and was already starving.
She didn't care about being a lady; she filled her stomach first, then pretended to be one.
Di Chenxiao watched Shi Xi eat heartily and thought his girl was really cute.
His appetite also increased under Shi Xi's influence, and he ate more than usual.
They enjoyed a simple breakfast together, and it brought them a sweet feeling.
Shi Xi rubbed her slightly swollen belly and lay down on the sofa in the living room with a satisfied look on her face.
Di Chenxiao gently rubbed Shi Xi's stomach to help her digest.
Thirteen suddenly felt that protecting Shi Xi was a glorious and great thing.
When she first received the assignment to protect a little girl, she was a little resentful.
She was selected from a thousand people, not for something as trivial as being a protector.
But as a bodyguard, obeying her master's orders was her duty, and she could only accept the arrangements.
Now, seeing how his master treats Miss Shi, he is 100% certain that Miss Shi is his future wife.
His heart, already moved by Shi Xi, was now even more willing to protect her.
**
An abandoned hospital overgrown with weeds and devoid of human presence.
Underground laboratory.
A man in a Zhongshan suit sat in an office chair, talking on the phone, and said mechanically, "Are you sure it's her?"
The sound has been processed by a voice changer.
His finger was pointing at a photo he had saved from Weibo.
The person on the phone said, "It's not certain yet. But the person who can get Master Chen to take notice is very likely her."
"Heh—" A mechanical voice said, "Find a few more troublesome things to confirm if it's her. Let's see just how infatuated this Master Chen is!"
"Yes! It seems that Master Chen's men have found the mastermind behind this. Should we give them a push?"
"No need, he won't touch the person behind the scenes!"
The man hung up the phone and quietly looked at the photo.
"Is that you? I've been waiting for you for over a decade!"
The man got up and headed towards the laboratory.
The laboratory contained rows of upright glass cylinders filled with formalin.
Young, pale-faced women floated in the formalin.
There is a woman inside each glass pillar.
And each of these women's faces bore a resemblance to Shi Xi.
