“Hey, that’s a personal attack! I’m a promising, debonair young man with a successful career! Women are lining up to marry me!”
“You’ll be a middle-aged man in five years, and my Pepsi will still be in nursery school. Flower Qi, after knowing you for so many years, I’ve only realized now how perverted you are!” After that sarcastic ment, Sheng Yize picked up Pepsi and told her, “Stay away from that creepy uncle.”
Qi Yanxi roared. “e here and let me bite you! Arf!”
Seeing this, Pepsi wrapped her arms tighter around Sheng Yize’s neck.
The uncle was barking! That was so scary!
“Right, I’ll call Si Bai and tell him off for my little Pepsi!” Qi Yanxi took out his phone and dialed Mrs. Si’s number.
When the video call went through, Qi Yanxi said bluntly, “Get Si Bai here!”
Despite her confusion, the good-natured Mrs. Si still summoned Si Bai.
The boy barely slept last night because of that kiss and looked a little out of sorts.
“You brat! How dare you lie to my dear Papsi! You little bastard! I’d spank your buttocks raw if you were here!”
Si Bai listened camly, and after Qi Yanxi finished his ranting, he asked, “What’s wrong with Pepsi?”
“How dare you ask! Are you making excuses for yourself now? Fine! I’ll let Pepsi talk to you herself!” Fuming, Qi Yanxi turned the phone to Pepsi.
The rims of Pepsi’s eyes were still red, which made Si Bai’s stomach lurch as soon as he saw her.
It was more painful than losing his favorite toy.
“Pepsi… I’m sorry…”
Si Bai wondered if she was crying because of that presumptuous kiss.
He had no idea why he did it. Since he would kiss his mum and dad because he liked them, he found it only natural that he should kiss Pepsi.
However, it didn’t feel quite the same as kissing his parents.
Qi Yanxi snapped when he heard Si Bai’s apology. “So, it really was your doing! Shame on you!”
He hung up immediately. On the other end, Si Bai lowered his gaze, crestfallen.
Seeing how miserable he looked, the usually mild Mrs. Si was a little vexed as well. “Little Bai, what happened? Was there a misunderstanding?”
Si Bai lowered his head and said earnestly, “No, it was my fault. I… let Pepsi down.”
“Wh- what have you done?” Mrs. Si was taken aback.
Si Bai shook his head stubbornly and wouldn’t say a word.

To cheer Pepsi up, An Xiaxia took her to visit Su Xiaomo.
The two women chatted happily the entire afternoon, covering topics from general gossip to their favorite idols. When the subject turned to their friends, Su Xiaomo sighed. “Have you heard? Shanshan and Fengfeng’s wedding was postponed.”
“I have. What happened? Are they fighting again?”
Su Xiaomo shrugged and sighed in resignation. “They must be. The new date was ‘to be determined,’ and so much can happen until then. I would hate to see them break up…”
“They won’t!” An Xiaxia bit her lip. “Shanshan really likes Fengfeng.”
“Fengfeng doesn’t like her any less. But they… Well, enough about them. I’m thinking about visiting Cutie He’s mother during the Lantern Festival. What do you think… should I do it?”
An Xiaxia didn’t know anything about He Jiayu’s past, but she did have some idea about the estrangement between mother and son.
“But it scares me…”
Scared? That was the last thing she thought she would ever hear from Su Xiaomo!
