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

Chapter 2981 Misunderstandings Cannot Be Left Unresolved Overnight

Xiao Zhi smiled and said, "Didn't you say that the environment here is beautiful and that we'd like to have grilled fish tonight?"

I figured since I'd be coming tomorrow anyway, I might as well come early today to join in the fun and experience the atmosphere.

As for Shino, I temporarily called him over to be my driver.

After all, I've been so busy with work these past few days that I haven't had much rest, and I'm completely exhausted.

As you know, driving when you're sleep-deprived makes you more prone to accidents.

I don't want to cause any trouble because of driving while fatigued, as for Xiaobai—"

Xiao Zhi paused deliberately at this point, then turned his gaze to Xiao Bai beside him, a hint of mockery in his eyes, "He ran away from home and came here with us."

Xiao Bai immediately clicked her tongue and retorted with dissatisfaction, "Who ran away from home? I just came out to relax and clear my head."

Marcy quickly replied, "It's alright, Vincent will definitely catch up soon anyway."

Haven't we seen enough of this back-and-forth drama over the years?

Come on in, everyone! You're all so lucky; you've arrived just in time for dinner. Let's dig in!

When the grandparents saw the young men, their eyes lit up and they exclaimed in delight, "Oh my, they are all so handsome! How can they all be so good-looking?"

"Don't all stand there, come in and sit down."

As they spoke, the two elders hurriedly turned around and went into the house, quickly bringing over a few small stools and warmly inviting everyone to sit down.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Zhi immediately broke into a bright smile, naturally took the small stool, and politely said, "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma, you've really gone to so much trouble."

After saying that, he found a suitable spot and sat down comfortably.

A group of children nearby stared at them with wide eyes and great curiosity.

One of the little girls couldn't help but tug at Xia Lin's clothes and whispered, "Sister, are all these handsome brothers your friends? They're so good-looking!"

You said... when I grow up, could I be their girlfriend?

Charlene was already a little embarrassed, but when she was suddenly asked this question, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She could only reply softly, "How old are you? You're already thinking about having a boyfriend?"

The little girl looked innocent and said confidently, "So what? I already have a boyfriend in kindergarten!"

Upon hearing this, Marcy couldn't help but interject with a smile: "Little sister, these young men, except for Brother Xiao Zhi who just sat down, don't have a girlfriend yet. You can like him."

As for the others, none of them will do…”

As she spoke, she smiled and pointed to Xiao Zhi, who had just sat down.

Xiao Zhi blinked, his expression perfectly cooperative.

He nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it's true that only my brother doesn't have it."

But little sister, you're too young. It's not appropriate for an old man like me to be dating such a young girl, is it?

The little girl didn't care at all when she heard this. Instead, she playfully replied, "It's okay. When I grow up, I won't be a little girl anymore."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone around her couldn't help but laugh.

Charlene couldn't help but laugh along, but her laughter stopped abruptly halfway through.

Because at that moment, someone else sat down next to them.

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional just now.

Xiao Bai and Xiao Zhi seemed to have done it on purpose, leaving the seat next to her for Shi Ye.

The boy casually draped his jacket over the back of the chair, his movements relaxed and natural.

Then, he calmly sat down.

Charlene suddenly smelled a cool, refreshing fragrance, like the scent of a pine forest after a snowfall, which made her body involuntarily stiffen slightly.

She subconsciously took a deep breath, as if trying to draw some courage to face him.

Now that you've made up your mind to talk, you shouldn't keep dodging and avoiding things like before.

What's more, he's already here, sitting next to her.

Thinking of this, Xia Lin raised her eyes and softly called out, "Brother Shi Ye."

Shi Ye turned his head at the sound, his deep gaze meeting hers directly.

His gaze was frank and focused, without the slightest wavering.

Charlene felt her nerves tighten instantly, and almost instinctively wanted to avoid that eye contact.

But in that fleeting moment when her eyes flickered, she clearly saw the unmistakable concern in his eyes.

That one glance froze her in place.

Shi Ye nodded slightly, his voice low and gentle, and asked, "How is the wound?"

Charlene felt a lump in her throat and thought she was about to cry.

She had assumed he would ask about those things first.

Unexpectedly, his first words were about her injuries.

Charlene tried to suppress her emotions and smiled gently at him, "It doesn't hurt as much as before."

Shi Ye nodded and said softly, "That's good."

Then, he turned his gaze to the various foods laid out in front of him and asked in a natural tone, "What would you like to eat? I'll get it for you."

Charlene paused for a moment, then subconsciously replied, "Anything is fine, I'm not picky."

As she spoke, she reached out and handed him the fish and meat skewers, adding, "These were just grilled, cooked to perfection. Try them and see if they're good."

Shi Ye nodded. "Okay."

But instead of picking up his chopsticks immediately, he first put some food on her plate.

Noticing that the pieces of meat were quite large, he carefully cut them for her, neatly dividing them into smaller pieces.

Seeing the fish, she knew she couldn't eat much because of her injury, so she only took a little and removed the bones.

Seeing this, Charlene quickly said somewhat embarrassedly, "I can do it. It's edible this way. There's really no need to go to so much trouble."

Besides, you're a guest; how can I let you do these things?

Shi Ye looked at the other person with concern and said in a gentle but firm tone, "You are injured, so don't use your hands anymore. I'll fix it for you, and you'll recover faster."

Seeing this, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but wink at Ma Xi with a meaningful smile on his face.

In fact, Tokino didn't come here to be a driver at all; he had planned to come all along.

Xiao Zhi's appearance wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision; it was actually Ma Xi and Zhou Si who asked them to come ahead of time.

Only Xiaobai came out of pure curiosity to join in the fun, completely unaware of the inside story.

As for why this arrangement was made, it was naturally in the hope that Xia Lin and Shi Ye could take this opportunity to resolve the awkwardness and misunderstanding between them as soon as possible.

Marcy watched this scene and quietly gave a thumbs up.

It seems misunderstandings really shouldn't linger overnight. Look at the scene now, isn't the atmosphere quite harmonious?

When there are problems between people, they should be laid out and discussed in a timely manner so that the relationship will get better and better!
