Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

Chapter 2982 No Need to Apologize

While the others were plotting something, the two on the other side were completely unaware, simply enjoying their food in silence.

At first, Charlene was a little embarrassed.

However, Xiao Bai and Xiao Zhi were good at warming up the atmosphere, and they quickly found a topic to talk about, which got everyone excited.

With several lively and adorable children present, they were very accommodating and kept chiming in.

Before long, the place became completely lively.

The grilled fish feast was very enjoyable, and everyone ate to their heart's content, with laughter and cheerful conversation filling the air.

During the meal, Ma Xi couldn't help but mention, "Actually, Shi Ye's grilled fish skills are superb. When we were little, he was the one who grilled fish for us."

It's been so long since I've tasted his cooking.

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Bai and Xiao Zhi clapped their hands and urged him on.

With expectant looks in their eyes, they said, "Since you have a grill, why don't you hurry up and show us your special skill?"

Let us try it too and see just how amazing your skills are!

Shino didn't refuse; instead, he laughed heartily and nodded in agreement.

He rolled up his sleeves and skillfully began grilling the fish.

Before long, he had grilled several pieces, cooking them to perfection. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making them incredibly tempting.

After the food was cooked, Tokino distributed it to everyone sitting around.

Xiao Bai and Xiao Zhi couldn't wait to take a bite, and then another, they just couldn't stop.

As they ate, they couldn't help but praise, "I never expected you to be so good at this! This tastes absolutely amazing, it's so delicious!"

"It's so delicious I can't stop eating! What am I going to do? I want to eat more, I can't get enough!"

Grandpa and Grandma were all smiles, praising it repeatedly, saying, "It tastes really good."

Several children excitedly surrounded Shi Ye, chattering and praising him: "Brother is so amazing!"

Because of her injuries, Charlene couldn't eat too much of this kind of food.

She only took a few bites before feeling unsatisfied and a little regretful.

When Shino returned after grilling the food, he noticed her expression and immediately understood what she was thinking.

He comforted you gently, "It's okay, it's alright if you didn't get enough this time. I'll grill some more for you next time."

Charlene felt a warmth in her heart for no apparent reason after hearing this.

She smiled and nodded, replying softly, "Okay."

After dinner, everyone was very satisfied and almost everyone felt a little full.

Several young people volunteered to stay and help clean up the dishes and tidy up the venue.

They considerately let the grandparents go and rest first, and the children also went home.

After everything was settled, Marcy felt she needed to go for a walk to aid digestion.

Zhou Si accompanied her, and the two walked out the door side by side.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhi said, "I'll go find some medicinal herbs tomorrow, and there are some tools we're lacking. I'd like to go to town and buy some."

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai immediately said with great interest, "I'll go with you, and I can even help you choose."

Xiao Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly and replied, "Okay, let's go then!"

The group tacitly understood each other, and soon one by one, they all left.

When Xia Lin came to her senses, only she and Shi Ye were left in the courtyard.

The two stared at each other for a moment, and Xia Lin felt that familiar awkwardness quietly welling up in her heart again.

Tokino, on the other hand, seemed quite composed.

He smiled slightly and suggested, "How about we go for a walk to digest our food?"

Charlene thought for a moment, nodded, and said softly, "Okay."

It seems...it's time to talk about it.

Soon, the two got ready and went out.

The town was quite quiet at night, with hardly any pedestrians on the streets, only the occasional chirping of insects and the faint barking of dogs in the distance.

The streetlights cast long shadows on the ground, making the two people's shadows appear longer.

Charlene lowered her head slightly, her gaze fixed on the intertwined shadows, pondering how to begin.

They walked slowly along the street, their footsteps sounding exceptionally clear in the quiet night.

Before they knew it, the two had arrived at an ancient stone bridge.

The sound of flowing water under the bridge was continuous and particularly crisp in the still night, as if every drop of water was gently tapping on Xia Lin's heartstrings.

Perhaps it was the tranquil atmosphere that gave her strength, or perhaps it was the sound of flowing water that suddenly gave her courage.

Xia Lin stopped, took a deep breath, and softly called out, "Brother Shi Ye..."

She had already prepared what she was going to say, but to her surprise, Shino spoke first.

He turned his head and asked calmly, "Did you read all the messages I sent you?"

Charlene was slightly taken aback.

Then she replied, "Yes, I saw it."

Shino's voice continued, "Those news stories online have now been suppressed."

There aren't many people discussing that matter anymore, so you really don't need to take it too seriously.

He paused briefly, then added, "It's okay if you don't respond. As time goes by, people will naturally forget about it. No one will remember it forever."

Hearing these comforting words, Charlene felt a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her, and a vague sense of unease settled over her.

She recalled what Shi Yang had said earlier, and it was indeed true.

Tokino-nii never blamed her; in fact, he was always thinking of her.

But she ran away without even asking him anything, and she didn't dare to face him.

Such behavior is truly unacceptable.

Charlene took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress all the emotions surging within her.

Then she nodded, her voice low and apologetic, "Yes, I saw it. Shi Yang also told me about it before."

Thank you so much for your continued care and help.

At the same time, I feel very sorry, as I always seem to unintentionally cause you trouble.

Her tone gradually became somewhat self-reproachful, "Every time I encounter difficulties or fall into trouble, it is always you who tirelessly clean up the mess for me and help me get through the crisis."

After holding it in for so long, I finally mustered up the courage to speak, so of course I have to say it all at once.

She paused, her expression clearly showing remorse, and continued, "And the incident at the airport and the video editing have also brought you some negative comments. I'm really sorry!"

Tokino-nii, that wasn't my intention... I was..."

Shino listened quietly, his eyes gentle.

However, he gently interrupted Charlene, saying in a calm tone, "No need to apologize. The edited video has actually brought me a lot of attention and even attracted many new fans."

I've already looked into it. Although the incident at the airport was a misunderstanding, it brought me unprecedented attention.

Although this circle isn't the entertainment industry, you unintentionally attracted a lot of attention from racing fans for me.

In truth, I should be thanking you.
