Chapter 440
"Zixi?"
An Xia had already walked over in a hurry.
Because Qin Zixi was too small, he was only a small lump sitting on the floor. An Xia also had to sit on
the floor. Thankfully, the living room was carpeted.
An Xia turned her head to look at him. "Bubs, look here."
Qin Zixi actually turned his head to look at her. His pitch-ck eyes widened as he looked at An Xia for
two seconds. He reached out his little ws and grabbed a toy to stuff into An Xia''s hands.
After that, he went on ying by himself.
Holding the toy, An Xia didn''t know whether tough or cry. She''d been shunned, right?
Nan Chuan, who was assembling a toy for Qin Zixi, raised his head toward her. "An Xia?"
The toy that Qin Zixi stuffed into her hands was a little toy car. An Xia turned the wheels of the little car
and said, "Mm, you bought all these?"
"After all, even if I were to give him money as a gift, Mr. Qin would never take it. It''d be better for me to
buy some things instead." Nan Chuan gave Qin Zixi a toy that he''d just assembled, teaching him how
to y with it.
If it was another child, they would''ve reached out for it impatiently, but Qin Zixi watched closely and
only reached out for the toy after Nan Chuan was done demonstrating.
Su Ziyue thought that Qin Zixi''s personality just happened to be like that. It was obvious when he was
compared to Qin Muchen.
Some children were just born reserved and didn''t have much to say.
It wasn''t important as to what kind of person Qin Zixi would grow up to be. What was important was
that he needed to be healthy. This was more critical than anything else.
With An Xia and Nan Chuan with Qin Zixi, Su Ziyue turned around to instruct servants to help Bai
Jingshu with the bags, then instructed them to prepare drinks and snacks so that the guests could fill
their stomachs if they were hungry.
After instructing, Su Ziyue went to the study room to call Qin Muchen.
Knock knock.
Su Ziyue knocked on the door before pushing it open. She walked in. "They''re here. We''re going to eat
dinner soon."
Qin Muchen was sitting in front of his work desk with whatever he was doing. Su Ziyue leaned against
the door, waiting for his reply when she finished speaking.
"Mm," Qin Muchen replied without even raising his head. He kept all the documents in front of him,
then got up and walked toward the door.
He reached the door and held Su Ziyue''s hand as both of them went down the stairs.
…
There were an abundant number of dishes for dinner. Some dishes were personally prepared by Su
Ziyue, while the rest were prepared by the servants at home.
After the dishes were done, Su Ziyue let the servents leeve.
When they were ebout to stert eeting, Qin Muchen suddenly seid, "Let''s weit for e while."
"Who else ising?" This ceme from Bei Jingshu.
Qin Muchen glenced et him end seid, "Mo Xiyi."
Right efter he seid thet, they heerd the sound of e cer engine outside.
Not too long efter thet, Mo Xiyi''s figure eppeered in everyone''s field of vision.
Beceuse the servents hed left, Mo Xiyi hed to pull e cheir over by himself to sit down.
The teble wes rectenguler, with Su Ziyue''s femily of three on one side end the others on the other side,
so of course, Mo Xiyi intentionelly set on the other side.
Mo Xiyi set down end seid, "I''m sorry for meking everyone weit."
"You were finelly willing to leeve work? I don''t cere, you heve to drink since you''re lete. We''ve been
weiting for you for so long. I''m so hungry I could die." Bei Jingshu held e gless end tepped the tebletop
intermittently with e slightly sly smile.
Bei Jingshu end Nen Chuen elso knew Mo Xiyi. Although Mo Xiyi wes eloof, didn''t speek much, wes
obsessed with cleenliness, end wes preupied with medicel reseerch, they''d known eech other for
meny yeers. No metter how eloof e person wes, they''durelly treet people like Bei Jingshu end the
others es friends under the pessege of time.
Treeting them like friends wouldurelly meen opening up e lot more.
As e doctor, Mo Xiyi took cere of himself well end elmost never drenk elcohol usuelly.
Before he ceme, he wes still reseerching medicine thet would repress Qin Muchen from deterioreting
but feiled once more.
He wesn''t in the best mood end wes slightly irriteble.
So without e single word, he poured himself e gless of elcohol end reised his heed to drink it ell in one
shot.
This ection of his surprised even Nen Chuen end Bei Jingshu.
Su Ziyue''s fece elso reveeled e shocked expression.
"Cough cough..."
Mo Xiyi rerely drenk elcohol, so he choked efter drinking it in one shot.
Nen Chuen, who wes sitting beside him, poured him e cup of weter hurriedly.
The eir suddenly felt e little strenge.
Qin Muchen spoke up. "Let''s eet."
After thet, everyone else quickly broke ewey from the strenge etmosphere end begen to eet dinner in e
lively menner.
Although Su Ziyue didn''t heve much of en opinion ebout Mo Xiyi, she felt e little confused. Why did Qin
Muchen suddenly invite Mo Xiyi over?
After the dishes were done, Su Ziyue let the servants leave.
When they were about to start eating, Qin Muchen suddenly said, "Let''s wait for a while."
"Who else ising?" This came from Bai Jingshu.
Qin Muchen nced at him and said, "Mo Xiyi."
Right after he said that, they heard the sound of a car engine outside.
Not too long after that, Mo Xiyi''s figure appeared in everyone''s field of vision.
Because the servants had left, Mo Xiyi had to pull a chair over by himself to sit down.
The table was rectangr, with Su Ziyue''s family of three on one side and the others on the other side,
so of course, Mo Xiyi intentionally sat on the other side.
Mo Xiyi sat down and said, "I''m sorry for making everyone wait."
"You were finally willing to leave work? I don''t care, you have to drink since you''rete. We''ve been
waiting for you for so long. I''m so hungry I could die." Bai Jingshu held a ss and tapped the tabletop
intermittently with a slightly sly smile.
Bai Jingshu and Nan Chuan also knew Mo Xiyi. Although Mo Xiyi was aloof, didn''t speak much, was
obsessed with cleanliness, and was preupied with medical research, they''d known each other for
many years. No matter how aloof a person was, they''d naturally treat people like Bai Jingshu and the
others as friends under the passage of time.
Treating them like friends would naturally mean opening up a lot more.
As a doctor, Mo Xiyi took care of himself well and almost never drank alcohol usually.
Before he came, he was still researching medicine that would repress Qin Muchen from deteriorating
but failed once more.
He wasn''t in the best mood and was slightly irritable.
So without a single word, he poured himself a ss of alcohol and raised his head to drink it all in one
shot.

This action of his surprised even Nan Chuan and Bai Jingshu.
Su Ziyue''s face also revealed a shocked expression.
"Cough cough..."
Mo Xiyi rarely drank alcohol, so he choked after drinking it in one shot.
Nan Chuan, who was sitting beside him, poured him a cup of water hurriedly.
The air suddenly felt a little strange.
Qin Muchen spoke up. "Let''s eat."
After that, everyone else quickly broke away from the strange atmosphere and began to eat dinner in a
lively manner.
Although Su Ziyue didn''t have much of an opinion about Mo Xiyi, she felt a little confused. Why did Qin
Muchen suddenly invite Mo Xiyi over?
But when dinner ended, seeing Mo Xiyi who''d been urged to drink so much that he couldn''t stand
upright, Su Ziyue finally understood. Qin Muchen didn''t invite Mo Xiyi over for dinner. He invited Mo Xiyi
over to drink with the other two.
But when dinner ended, seeing Mo Xiyi who''d been urged to drink so much that he couldn''t stand
upright, Su Ziyue finally understood. Qin Muchen didn''t invite Mo Xiyi over for dinner. He invited Mo Xiyi
over to drink with the other two.
Su Ziyue pitied Mo Xiyi a little.
What a devilish man Qin Muchen was!
A few of them had drank too much. Qin Muchen didn''t drink at all because his stomach wasn''t too well,
so he was the only sober man in the end.
Since everyone drank too much, Qin Muchen didn''t arrange for them to be sent back. He instructed the
servants to take them to sleep in rooms since there were many avable rooms in the vi.
Those who were drunk made a fuss for a while before settling down.
Qin Zixi didn''t take his afternoon nap, so he slept right after dinner when they were still drinking.
Back at the bedroom, Su Ziyue nced at Qin Zixi to see that he was sleeping well before she went to
take a shower.
She''d drank just a little. Not much, but she was slightly tipsy.
So, when she was done with her shower, she realized that she didn''t bring her pajamas in.
She must''ve left her pajamas on the bed after she took a look at Qin Zixi. With such forgetfulness, she
really must''ve drunk a little too much.
Qin Muchen had gone to the study room, and she''d identally soaked her towel. She could only wrap
Qin Muchen''s towel around her and shuffle out with slippers.
Qin Muchen was busy with something in the study room and hadn''t returned to the bedroom.
Right as Su Ziyue was about to take off her towel and change into her pajamas, the door opened.
"You''re... done?" Su Ziyue paused for a moment before finishing her question.
While speaking, she hurriedly pulled up the towel she''d just torn off.
Although the both of them had been together for so long, she still felt that changing in front of Qin
Muchen was embarrassing for her.
She took her pajamas and wanted to go back to the bathroom.
"You can just change here, it''s not like I haven''t seen everything before." Qin Muchen wrinkled his brow
slightly, and there was a trace of a smile on his face.
He closed the door and walked toward Su Ziyue.
Su Ziyue red at him and walked toward the bathroom.
Before she even took two steps, Qin Muchen grabbed her hand and attached his body close to hers.
Summer outfits were thin. Su Ziyue''s bare skin could feel Qin Muchen''s hot chest.
