Shi Xi understood the whole story. After returning from Country X, A Shi went back to his old ways, taking on murder jobs.
This time, Indra received a job to assassinate a government official, but the mission failed.
Upon returning, Di Chenxiao instructed Di Shi to go to the punishment room to receive his punishment, which led to the scene just now.
If Di Chenxiao had his memories intact, he would absolutely not punish Di Shi out of respect for Shi Xi. Di Chenxiao with his memories intact was not so bloodthirsty.
Shi Xi kept telling herself that it was all the same whether she had the memory or not.
He became different when facing the ruthless and decisive leader of the secret guards who used punishment to deal with mistakes or mission failures.
"Xiaoxiao, Ashi just made a mistake. There's always next time, right? Let's not punish Ashi anymore, okay? Mom and Dad, Dad is still waiting for us. Let's go back to the Shi family first and not keep them waiting."
"Ashi?" The air pressure around Di Chenxiao dropped a bit.
They called me so affectionately!
He knew that Di Shi and Shi Xi were friends, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.
Seeing the watch on Indra's wrist made him even more uncomfortable.
But he didn't react; he just gave a soft "hmm" to indicate his agreement.
Di Jiu truly admired Shi Xi; she had changed Di Chenxiao's mind with just one sentence.
Before leaving, Di Shi glanced at Shi Xi, his eyes filled with a faint smile.
He has let go of his obsession with Xiaoxi; the youthful affection he once had is long gone.
Di Jiu, as always, acted as a competent driver, taking Di Chenxiao and Shi Xi back to the Shi family home.
Mi Rou, who is two months pregnant, has not only not gained weight, but has actually lost a lot of weight, and you can't tell that she is pregnant at all.
Besides, he would vomit at the smell of anything with a strong odor and couldn't eat anything at all.
Shi Hao patted Mi Rou's back tenderly, serving her tea and water, sweating profusely with worry.
She kept blaming herself, saying, "We don't want any more children, we only want this one, okay?"
"You little rascal, behave yourself in your mother's belly, or you'll be in for a world of hurt after you're born."
Mi Rou took a sip of warm water; the urge to vomit wasn't too strong. "Alright, the baby's still in my belly. It'll be a long time before he comes out!"
Seeing that Shi Xi was happy with Mi Rou and Shi Hao, she ate a meal and stayed for a while before leaving the Shi family and returning to Xiyuan.
The Shi family also knew that Di Chenxiao had forgotten Shi Xi, and they were all worried that it was not safe for Shi Xi to stay with Di Chenxiao.
Shi Xi repeatedly assured Di Chenxiao that he would not harm her, and only then did the Shi family allow Shi Xi to return with Di Chenxiao.
Winter nights are exceptionally dark and cold.
After returning home, Di Chenxiao stayed in his study and did not come out.
Shi Xi thought he didn't like crowds, and that his return to the Shi family today had put him in a bad mood.
Because her birthday is coming up, she has to go home and tell her family not to hold a birthday party.
They left Di Chenxiao to the side.
Shi Xi placed a glass of milk on the desk.
"Xiaoxiao, this is some milk I just made. Have some. You didn't eat much today, and I was worried you weren't full."
Di Chenxiao took the cup and said coldly, "Is there anything else?"
"It's okay. Are you angry because I didn't talk to you at the Shi family's house? My birthday is coming soon, and I was going to tell them that we didn't need to have a celebration. I ended up talking too much."
Di Chenxiao slowly tightened his grip, the veins on the back of his hand bulging. "You don't know why I'm angry?"
"Isn't it because of this?"
"Crackâ" The milk cup was crushed.
Seeing that Di Chenxiao's hand was bleeding, Shi Xi hurriedly went to find the first-aid kit, but before she could take two steps, Di Chenxiao pressed her down on the chair, grabbed both of her wrists with one hand and lifted them up, and pinched her chin with the other.
"You're so protective of Di Shi, does that mean you like him?"
