Before closing the cabinet door, her gaze lingered on the cat-ear down jacket for several seconds.
Her dark eyes flickered slightly.
After a long silence, she then turned and walked out.
When she went out, the housekeeper Xu Hong, who took care of their daily needs, had already brought the food out from the kitchen.
Seeing her, Xu Hong’s eyes lit up: "Qi Qi, you’re back so early today? Co and eat, it’s New Year’s Eve tonight, I made a lot of delicious food just for you."
Yun Qiqi sat back at the dining table and said, "Aunt Xu, I’ve already eaten so."
"No problem, have a little more," Xu Hong said with a smile, "You both sit and wait, I’m still missing two dishes."
Yun Qiqi glanced at her back, paused for a mont, then quickly looked away.
She picked up her chopsticks and started eating slowly.
Shi Yunshen clicked his tongue: "Didn’t you already eat outside?"
Yun Qiqi was too lazy to respond to him and continued to eat with her head down.
Shi Yunshen didn’t mind her attitude at all, apparently used to it, and even picked a drumstick for her.
At this mont, Xu Hong ca out of the kitchen with more food.
After everything was prepared, she removed her apron and sat down at the table to eat with them.
Before eating, she seed to rember sothing and asked, "Oh right, Qi Qi, I think I saw you getting out of a car from the balcony just now. Who brought you back?"
The young girl paused, lowered her lashes, and ate slowly, waiting until she finished what was in her mouth.
Then she softly said, "A driver from a ride-hailing app."
Xu Hong looked relieved: "Oh, it was a hired car, I thought you made a new friend."
She then said to Yun Qiqi, "You must be careful outside, this place is not like the laboratory, there are all kinds of people out there, it’s very dangerous, it’s safer to have less contact with others."
The young girl’s slightly pale face revealed no emotion, she responded with a simple "Mm."
"If you et any strange people or anything like that, rember to tell , I’ll handle it."
Xu Hong looked at her, speaking with a gentle smile, but there was a trace of probing in her eyes, although very subtle.
Yun Qiqi seed oblivious, she replied and continued to eat with her head down without moving.
After the three of them finished the al, she got up to clear the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them.
Yun Qiqi sat in the living room watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV.
Shi Yunshen was sitting beside her accompanying her.
Looking at her distracted expression, he couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow slightly.
He always felt that ever since she ca to the Imperial City, she’s been acting strangely, and since she found a job these past few days, it seems even stranger.
He seriously suspected that she might have joined so pyramid sche organization.
When Xu Hong also went to the maid’s room to sleep at night, the living room was dark with the lights off.
Shi Yunshen then quietly slipped into Yun Qiqi’s room.
The girl’s room didn’t have the lights on either, but she wasn’t asleep yet, lying on the bed, holding a tablet, watching sothing.
Seeing him co into her room, a trace of displeasure flashed in her serene black eyes: "What do you want?"
Shi Yunshen, not at all shy, walked over and sat on the sofa next to her big bed.
He lowered his voice and asked, "Who sent you back today?"
Yun Qiqi gave him a cold glance, said nothing, and turned her head to continue watching the tablet.
Seeing that she didn’t want to talk, Shi Yunshen said directly, "We’ve grown up together; don’t I know you? I can tell imdiately when you’re lying."
