Lin Xi's face immediately flushed red, she anxiously turned around, but did not admit defeat, and said: "Obviously you did not knock on the door and walked in. I did not accuse you of barging into my room without permission, but you started pointing at me?"

She hurriedly fastened her buttons, turned around, and said to Qin Yu: "However, don't worry, I am also not interested in you at all. Even if you act like this and find an excuse to come and pay me back, I will not have any thoughts towards you."

Qin Yu said that he was intentionally approaching her to seduce her, so he said that Qin Yu taking the initiative to visit her today was to curry favour with her …

Isn't it just slandering each other? She could!

Qin Yu scoffed in disdain, "You didn't lock the door at all just now. I think you're waiting for me here on purpose."

"Then you are really mistaken," Lin Xi retorted. "Even if I am to open the door, can you come in without knocking?"

"You …"

Just as Qin Yu was about to continue speaking, he was interrupted by a weak voice.

Little Qin Chengqi, who was lying unconscious on his shoulder, woke up under the slandering of the two adults.

He rubbed his eyes and asked Qin Yu in a daze, "Daddy, are we here yet?"

Qin Yu immediately stopped his argument with Lin Xi and replied softly: "We're here, we're already at Big Sister Lin Xi's place."

Little friend Qin Chengqi turned his head around in Qin Yu's embrace. When he saw Lin Xi, his eyes lit up, and he smiled.

His cheeks were still red, and his body was still burning with fever from not wanting to take any medicine.

Seeing him like this, Lin Xi's heart ached. He did not care about bickering with Qin Yu anymore, but rather turned to the two of them and said: "Come in quickly."

This time, Qin Yu was not "polite" with the baby and walked into the living room.

He set the baby down on the sofa and, as he proficiently measured the temperature of his forehead with an electronic thermometer — still above thirty-eight degrees — asked him with restraint and resignation, "Now that he's seen it, can he take his medicine?"

The baby looked at Lin Xi and nodded embarrassedly.

Qin Yu put down the thermometer, and then took out the antipyretic ointment he had prepared earlier and took the amount of ointment Doctor Liang had given him. He stood up, intending to find a hot water bubble ointment.

But when he stood up, he realized that this place was not East Suburb Villa and the furnishings inside the room were all very strange.

He looked around, but did not find any teapot that could heat up hot water. He was forced to ask Lin Xi: "Where is the hot water?"

"Here …" Just as Lin Xi spoke out, she stopped.

Although she did not stay here for long, she was more familiar with the place than Qin Yu. She simply took the ointment from Qin Yu's hand and said: "Let me do it, I will go heat up the water, you can watch over him."

Save time.

Lin Xi left like the wind, and quickly returned with the ointment.

The temperature of the powder was just right, it was the temperature a child could consume.

Lin Xi personally fed the medicine to the baby.

Maybe it was due to some psychological effect, but after the baby obediently drank the medicine, he quickly became more spirited. After twenty odd minutes, when Qin Yu measured his temperature again, his body temperature had already started to drop.

The baby was still nestled on the sofa, or more accurately, nestled in Lin Xi's embrace. Qin Yu and Lin Xi sat on opposite ends of the sofa.

Qin Yu, on the other hand, was constantly paying attention to the interaction between the baby and Lin Xi. Seeing the two of them talking intimately to each other, Qin Yu became even more annoyed.

The baby yawned and asked Lin Xi: "Can I sleep with you tonight?"

Lin Xi glanced at Qin Yu and said: "That will require your father's consent."

Only then did the baby bear to look away from Lin Xi. She stared at Qin Yu and called out for her father.

The request for his consent was already apparent.

Qin Chengqi's little friend had a bad temper, Qin Yu was afraid that he would not agree, he did not know how he should react, adding that he was still sick from being pained, he nodded and agreed.

He said, "Of course. Daddy will stay here with you tonight."

"Yay!" The baby, whose body temperature had dropped, became more lively as it cheered in a low voice.

However, Lin Xi rolled her eyes at someone who was overly conscious, and reminded him: "I only promised my baby that we can stay here, and I didn't promise you that you can."

Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows and asked her: "Do you think I would be at ease to leave my son with a stranger to take care of?"

Lin Xi could not help but frown as well, but after thinking about it, she realized that what Qin Yu said made sense.

When they met again, Qin Yu no longer had any impression of himself, and in his heart, he could indeed be considered a stranger.

Not to mention that Qin Yu had always thought that he was approaching the child on purpose, even if the other party didn't have any prejudice against him, the parents still wouldn't be at ease if they entrusted their child to a stranger whom they had only met once.

Lin Xi finally agreed to Qin Yu staying, and gave him the sofa in the living room.

Lin Xi had booked a hotel suite and a kitchen guard's study, but it only had one bedroom. Lin Xi slept on the big bed in the master bedroom, so Qin Yu could only sleep on the sofa.

Chairman Qin looked at the sofa that was not taller than him and laid down expressionlessly.

"Can't Daddy sleep with us?" The baby looked into the living room, feeling a little sorry for the father in the living room.

Lin Xi shook her head and said: "Two masters, only when you are married can you sleep together."

After a pause, she added, "And even if I did, your father wouldn't agree to sleep with me."

Qin Yu had always felt that he was purposely luring her to sleep in the same bed as him, wouldn't that be perfect for her?

The baby suddenly sighed and said, "I wanted you to marry my father, but my father doesn't seem to like you very much."

Lin Xi chuckled when she saw Yue Yang's serious look of annoyance.

She tapped the tip of her baby's nose and said, "You're thinking too much, little rascal. Your father definitely won't marry me."

At this point, she stared blankly for a moment.

Four years ago, she was married to Qin Yu once.

But when fate played with people, Qin Yu suddenly lost his memories, their marriage had not even been maintained for a few days, and Qin Yu used a gold card to kick her out.

Lin Xi quickly regained her senses, she stuffed the baby into her blanket and said: "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, you are still sick, you need to go to bed early tonight."

"Yes." The baby nodded obediently. The happiness of sleeping with Lin Xi quickly overshadowed the pity of him sleeping on the sofa with her father.

After he was done lying down, Lin Xi started humming a lullaby, and the baby quickly fell asleep amidst her gentle voice.

After making sure that the baby was sleeping soundly, Lin Xi quietly got up. She went to the living room to get Qin Yu's electronic thermometer, just in case the baby's disease repeated itself in the middle of the night.

The light in the living room had already been turned off. Lin Xi was not sure if Qin Yu had fallen asleep, so she did not turn on the light.

Just as she was about to turn around and return, she couldn't hold it in and turned to look at Qin Yu who was lying on the sofa.

Qin Yu's breathing was even, and he had probably fallen asleep already.

The dim light made his facial features seem even more three-dimensional, and it also made him seem even more charming compared to the darkness of the night.

Lin Xi's gaze swept across his entire body. Without any warning, that heart that had been calm and still for more than four years, actually started to stir up again.

Lin Xi could not help but shake her head and smile bitterly.

When they were bickering at the entrance, she had clamored that she was not interested in Qin Yu …

However, Qin Yu had a look of love on his face, and was someone he had once deeply fallen in love with. How could she possibly not be attracted to him?

Lin Xi stared blankly at Qin Yu for a while before sighing with emotion. In the end, she decided to leave Z City as soon as possible.

As long as they didn't meet again, any sort of interest would eventually disappear.

Lin Xi took light steps and returned to her bedroom. After a while, she took out a blanket and carefully covered Qin Yu's body.

It was now the turn of the autumn and winter, and the night had already begun to get cold.

Qin Yu was lying on the sofa, fully clothed. When he woke up the next day, he would definitely be sick.

Of course, she didn't give Qin Yu this blanket just because she was worried that he would get sick … She was just afraid that Qin Yu would get sick and infect the baby again. The baby finally had a fever, but could not go through with it again.

Lin Xi came up with a reasonable excuse to give herself a blanket.

Fortunately, Qin Yu had not woken up when she covered him with the blanket. Otherwise, the situation before his eyes would not have been clear.

Lin Xi crept back into the bedroom, closed the door, and slept with the baby.

As for Qin Yu, who was lying on the sofa and breathing evenly, after hearing the door of the bedroom close, he slowly opened his eyes.

He hadn't really fallen asleep.

He subconsciously touched the blanket on his body and frowned.

Lin Xi had first stood in front of him and peeked at him for a long time, then secretly delivered a blanket to him … What did she mean?

According to common sense, this was her taking the initiative to express her goodwill, and she even had the suspicion of flirting with him.

However, when they were at the entrance earlier, she had made a promise that she was not interested in him at all …

Could it be that she was rejecting and welcoming him, wanting to capture him?

Qin Yu thought so hard that he almost fell off the sofa when he flipped over.

He stabilized himself in time and thought again: At least from tonight, Lin Xi's concern and concern for the baby didn't seem to be fake.

The night was long. The two adults inside and outside the bedroom didn't sleep well due to their own thoughts, except for the baby. He slept soundly all night after the fever and even snored a little.

Lin Xi slept soundly until the sky turned white. When she woke up again, the baby was lying on her side with his head tilted, looking at her, obviously he had been awake for a long time.

The baby saw that she was awake too, so he said good morning to her crisply.

Lin Xi also replied "Good morning" with a smile. She then took the body temperature to measure his body temperature, and after seeing that his body temperature was normal, she heaved a sigh of relief.

But she soon discovered that the person who had slept on the sofa in the living room had disappeared, leaving only a furry blanket and a note.

The note said, "The company has an emergency. Baby, please take care of him for a while. The nanny will come to pick him up later."

After Lin Xi finished reading, she could not help but imitate what Qin Yu did last night. She scoffed at the memo: Didn't they say that they would be worried about handing the child over to a stranger that they just met? And now, without her permission, she had thrown the child into her care, believing in his wickedness!
