Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shen Xi did not have the guts to pick one among the men in the family to drive her there as the ones left behind would be unhappy.

She sorted out the arrangement before Fu Qingli and the rest had a chance to volunteer themselves.

In the end, Fu Qingli stood up. “It’s late. It’s not safe for you girls to go there. Let me drive you.”

Giving Shen Xi no time to turn down his offer, he got up to grab his coat and was out the door while putting on the coat.

Shen Xi looked at him. “…”

With downcast eyes, Ruan Sisi sneaked a smile.

She was aware of what was going on in her teacher’s mind. Her teacher was afraid the brothers would get into a row, fighting over who got to drive her. Nevertheless, she got to give props to the oldest brother of the Fu family. Well played.
Fu Qingxuan jumped up and shouted, “I’m coming too.”

With veins popping out her head, Shen Xi glanced at him. “I don’t need so many of you to come along. You’re tired from the flight, so you should rest at home.”

Fu Qingye intended to come up with an excuse to tag along if Qingli and Qingxuan were going too. However, he knew there was no hope after what Shen Xi said.

Disappointment did not go amiss in Fu Qingxuan’s eyes. He sighed, lamenting his slow reflexes. Had he come forward first to offer to drive Xixi, Qingli would not be one step ahead of him.

Qingli was getting the hang of pulling a fast one.

Smiling at Fu Qingxuan, Shen Xi pulled Ruan Sisi to move along, She was afraid this might happen. There was a large group ready to escort her like bodyguards wherever she went. It was too much for her to take!
With grievance written all over his face, Fu Qingxuan watched them leave. He would only get on her nerves if he insisted on coming after Xixi had already told them off.

It was dark outside since it was past nine o’clock. The weather was also gloomy and windy. It seemed a snowstorm was underway.

Fu Qingli opened the car door and waited for them.

Ruan Sisi went behind Shen Xi to give way to the latter to get into the car.

Shen Xi was about to step foot into the car.

Fu Qingli blurted, “You take the front passenger’s seat.”

Shen Xi appeared puzzled.

Fu Qingli replied, “You’re in charge of navigation.”

Nodding her head, Shen Xi made her way to the passenger’s seat and got in.

Fu Qingli waited until she got in before opening the door to take the driver’s seat.

Shen Xi had configured the navigation system, but traffic in the capital was horrendous at this time, especially during the weekend. Her services as the human navigator were needed to bypass the heavy traffic.
Kicking in the backseat, Ruan Sisi drooled over the man in the front. Mr. Fu was only willing to be her teacher’s driver. Ruan Sisi was piggybacking on the honor!

She was dying to find out if Mr. Fu had ever been in a relationship as she was curious about the type of woman that could have his heart and be his.

It was enough for Ruan Sisi to admire hotties. She would not cross the line and ask for more.

The car soon cruised out of the neighborhood.

The Shen family home was in a villa compound outside zone 4 of the city. Villas in the capital, where land was expensive and scarce, were astronomical. The price only went higher the closer the houses were to the core district.
Yu Qiubai and his mom stayed in an old building in the city center within zone 1 and 2. The ride was smooth in the beginning, but the traffic congestion grew worse as they moved toward the core district.

‘When the car came to a halt, Shen Xi took a look at the time and regretted taking the car. It was faster to take the subway.

Fu Qingli noticed that she was on pins and needles. “Is it urgent?”

Shen Xi bobbed her head.

Fu Qingli looked out to the rooftop of a building. “Li Yuan should have a helicopter sitting nearby.”

‘The Fu family had a helicopter ready on the landing pad of all their companies. The landing pads were usually on the rooftop of the buildings.

“I’s too much of a hassle.” Shen Xi glanced outside the window. Now that they were in zone 3, there was a subway station five hundred meters away. “I’l take the subway. You and Sisi should head home.”

With the endless jam ahead, it was not known how long they would be caught in a gridlock. The patient’s condition could not be delayed any further.

“Tl go with…” Before Fu Qingli could finish, Shen Xi opened the door to get down but stopped short at the door.

Akid ran into her arms the moment Shen Xi stepped foot out of the car. She lowered her gaze while the kid happened to look up.

The adorable girl with a cute bun held onto her leg, “Help, Miss! There are bad guys after me and my brother.”

Shen Xi realized that a young boy followed behind the girl. The charming boy had a suit and poker face on. Shen Xi was stunned there and then when she saw the boy’s face.

The boy’s face was an exact copy of the man sitting in the car. They even shared the same indifferent mien.

Alove child?

This was the first thought that popped inside Shen Xi’s head. She then saw dozens of men in black fast approaching, Without a second thought, she bended over to pick up the girl and pulled the boy into the car.
Ruan Sisi wondered what was going on as her teacher stood still at the door. The car behind was beeping since the traffic had started to move along. When Shen Xi carried the children into the car, Ruan Sisi widened her eyes in disbelief at the boy before turning to Fu Qingli.
Oh, gawd. Were her eyes deceiving her? Just moments ago, she was curious as to the kind of woman that could make the heart of the golden son of the Fu family go wild.

Out came a mini version of him the next minute. Was he an illegitimate child or a pure coincidence? Still, they had an uncanny resemblance!

Fu Qingli took notice too. He exchanged glances with the children, finding the situation rather absurd. Fu Qingli was fixated on the familiar little face.

‘The girl in Shen Xi’s arms swayed back and forth, together with her bun. It was such a cute and adorable sight. The girl looked at Fu Qingli and then at her brother as if to draw comparisons.

The boy, on the other hand, kept a straight face as he warily stared at Fu Qingli’s face with animosity and clenched fists.

The tension in the car rose while silence took over.

Shen Xi looked at Fu Qingli.

Ruan Sisi stared at Fu Qingli.

The two kids also fixed their eyes on Fu Qingli.

Fu Qingli’s facial muscles tensed as his eyes reflected complex emotions. Nevertheless, the people who came in pursuit of the children were pounding on the car and menacingly yelling for the return of the kids.

Since Fu Qingli remained still and said nothing, Shen Xi patted the girl’s head and put her down. She softly soothed the girl, “Go to the back and join the lady. Don’t be scared.”
