When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase

After some polite greetings, An Rui called Zhou Qi to go to his room, while not forgetting to say to Xi Siyan, "I’ll leave Sister Zhou in your care."

The tone was so familiar, it was as if Xi Siyan was also the host here.

But soon, Zhou Chengchen also noticed that Xi Siyan was really familiar with this place, almost like the owner.

Mrs. An was busy in the kitchen with something, while Xi Siyan sat with her on the living room sofa, not forgetting to make her a cup of milk tea, acting just like it was his own home.

Before long, Mrs. An came out of the kitchen with a plate in her hand: "Come try these, freshly baked egg tarts."

Mrs. An invited, and then said to Xi Siyan, "Si Yan can have some too, I used less sugar today knowing you were coming."

Xi Siyan smiled and said, "Thank you," and Zhou Chengchen keenly noticed that Xi Siyan here, from his eyes to his eyebrows, was filled with gentleness—the kind of gentleness reserved for family, for loved ones. Although his demeanor still seemed lofty and stern, it was really different from usual.

"Cheng Chen, have some too. I’m not sure what you like, but have dinner here, and tell Aunt if there’s something you want to eat."

Zhou Chengchen quickly nodded, her good looks complemented by her sweet talk and the lively charm typical of girls her age, which was actually very pleasing to adults.

Reaching for an egg tart, she took a bite. It wasn’t as good as the ones made by Mrs. Zhang from the Sheng Family, but it tasted quite nice.

"Hmm... delicious."

"If you like it, have some more, there’s plenty."

Mrs. An was cheerful, and Xi Siyan symbolically ate one while looking at Mrs. An: "Is Xiao Ge in her room?"

"Yes, she took a nap at noon and is already up."

"I’ll go up and see her."

Xi Siyan said, wrapping an egg tart in a napkin and holding it in his hand, got up to leave, and Zhou Chengchen hurriedly stood up too: "I’ll go with you."

Although Mrs. An was very enthusiastic, she was ultimately unfamiliar, and here, with Zhou Qi gone with An Rui, she instinctively followed Xi Siyan.

But this time, Xi Siyan frowned slightly: "It’s inconvenient."

After saying that, he didn’t offer any further explanation and had already turned to head upstairs.

Zhou Chengchen was stunned.

What does "inconvenient" mean?

And he even frowned just now?

Zhou Chengchen felt a bit strange, and then she heard Mrs. An start to explain: "Chengchen, don’t misunderstand, Xiao Ge is my daughter. She’s not well and can’t see unfamiliar people."

Zhou Chengchen had already sat down, and hearing Mrs. An’s words, she was somewhat surprised.

Mrs. An’s face no longer carried the cheerful look she had earlier; she sighed and explained a bit to Zhou Chengchen.

She rarely talked about her daughter’s situation to outsiders, but now Zhou Chengchen’s lively demeanor reminded her a lot of the past An Ge. Back then, An Ge always had such a smile on her chubby face, and it made her feel a bit of warmth.

Zhou Chengchen didn’t quite understand. Physical illness might make someone not want to see people, but it shouldn’t mean they couldn’t at all, right?

It must be a psychological issue, but this was not a topic to delve into, so Zhou Chengchen wisely kept quiet.

Then she heard piano music coming from the second floor; it was a piece too familiar to Zhou Chengchen, instantly recognizing it as a simple tune she had taught Xi Siyan.

Instinctively looking upstairs, she heard Mrs. An’s voice again: "That’s Si Yan teaching her piano again."

Zhou Chengchen was taken aback; Xi Siyan teaching someone to play piano?
