Chapter 495: Original Text: Chapter 505: Sudden Indulgence

Shi Yi listened and felt that it wasn’t the shameless voice from yesterday. Instead, it sounded somewhat familiar. When the man’s handsome face turned around, she froze slightly.

"It’s you?"

"I rescued you last night, and this is how you repay me?" The man glanced at the knife at his neck, then turned his eyes to her with a half-smile.

"You saved me?" Shi Yi frowned, trying hard to recall what had happened last night, but her mind was completely blank. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"If it weren’t for me, could you still stand here perfectly unharmed?"

Shi Yi narrowed her eyes in suspicion, "Did you really save me last night?"

"What’s the point in lying to you?"

Shi Yi thought about it and realized that there was indeed no reason for Leng Yixiu to lie about such a thing. Yet, she still didn’t let go. She coldly questioned, "Then what’s the matter with my clothes?"

The man naturally understood what Shi Yi meant and laughed lightly, "Do you think I took advantage of you last night? Rest assured, I don’t like necrophilia. You vomited all over yourself last night, Miss Shi. Do you think I’m that desperate?"

"You really didn’t do anything to me last night?"

"If I had, would you have no feeling at all?" the man retorted.

Leng Yixiu had a point. If something indeed happened, she shouldn’t feel nothing at all. Thinking this, Shi Yi couldn’t help but let go of him.

Seeing the red mark left by the fruit knife on the man’s neck, Shi Yi felt a bit guilty, "Was it really you who saved me last night?"

"Who else could it be?" Recalling last night, Leng Yixiu’s eyes darkened slightly, "If I hadn’t run into you by chance, Miss Shi, you’d have been completely ruined by Second Young Master Chen by now."

Second Young Master Chen?

Shi Yi thought that the Second Young Master Chen mentioned by Leng Yixiu must be the man who tried to assault her last night.

"Last night, thank you," Shi Yi said, feeling nothing toward Leng Yixiu but still grateful for his rescue. After all, it was he who saved her last night.

She glanced at her brand-new clothes and said to Leng Yixiu, "I’ll borrow these clothes for now. After I return home, I’ll wash them and give them back to you."

"No need. It’s just a piece of clothing. Miss Shi, if you like it, you can keep it."

Like it? She certainly didn’t like such old-fashioned clothes.

Shi Yi didn’t say she didn’t like them out loud, but simply said to Leng Yixiu, "Mr. Leng, thank you for what you did yesterday. I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now."

She turned to leave the master bedroom without waiting for the man to respond. She had just stepped out when Leng Yixiu unexpectedly popped up from somewhere and gave her a big bear hug.

"Mama! Mama!"

Shi Yi felt a bit helpless with this term of address—it wasn’t the first time this had happened. While she had had the patience to correct it twice before, this time she was entirely at her wit’s end.

She thought dejectedly that no matter how hard she tried to correct it, this little one would likely continue to call her Mama. And knowing that the little one’s mother had left her at a young age, she couldn’t bear to tear the truth apart and hurt her tender heart.

After enjoying the bear hug, the little one raised her small head, blinking her eyes in delight as she looked at Shi Yi, her mouth moving slightly, "Mama, eat!"

Eat?

Shi Yi’s expression stiffened. She definitely didn’t want to dine at the same table as Leng Yixiu. She smiled at the little one, "Little one, I have something to do, so I can’t accompany you to eat."

However, the little one was relentless, gripping Shi Yi’s finger tightly and refusing to let go, insisting, "Mama, eat!"

Well...

At some point, Sister Yi had also come upstairs, arriving behind Xiao Yi Xun, "Miss Shi, please stay and have a meal. It won’t take up much of your time. Besides, Xiao Yi Xun really wants you to eat with her. Since she was in her mother’s womb, her mother hasn’t been by her side, let alone dined with her. Xiao Yi Xun normally isn’t this clingy. In fact, she avoids many people and things, but she’s exceptionally close to you, Miss Shi. Please stay and fulfill her small wish..."

Moved by Sister Yi’s words, Shi Yi glanced at Xiao Yi Xun, only to see her bright eyes blinking, filled with hope. This little one was really endearing.

In the end, she agreed to stay. But during the meal, she chose a seat furthest from Leng Yixiu. Despite being her savior, she still preferred to keep her distance from him.

Leng Yixiu didn’t get angry, instead, he calmly sat in the main seat, while Xiao Yi Xun happily followed Shi Yi, sitting wherever she sat.

Seeing this, Sister Yi couldn’t help but chuckle. She had never seen Xiao Yi Xun so fond of a woman. It seemed Xiao Yi Xun truly considered Miss Shi as her mother, which surprisingly amazed Sister Yi.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Shi Yi had to admit that Leng Yixiu was quite particular about food. The table had not only Western cuisine but also Chinese dishes, including a special children’s meal prepared just for Xiao Yi Xun.

However, Shi Yi noticed something odd during the meal. There were only three people dining at the table, yet there were four sets of knives, forks, and dishes. Initially, she thought the extra set was for Sister Yi, but after the meal started, Sister Yi went to the kitchen and didn’t join at the dining table.

Could there be another guest coming?

It was the only explanation, but throughout the meal, no guest arrived. Shi Yi thought perhaps the extra set was a spare, in case it was needed, and didn’t dwell on it.

Another strange thing happened, making Shi Yi awkward. During the meal, Leng Yixiu, breaking his usual cold demeanor, cut a piece of steak and pushed it towards her.

"You’re too thin; eat more."

Shi Yi was nearly shocked into a stupor by the gesture. She stared blankly at Leng Yixiu for a long time. Did this man have some sort of brain malfunction?

But then Xiao Yi Xun’s reaction nearly made Shi Yi choke. She nodded her little head and said softly, "Yes, Mama should eat more and gain weight to give birth to a little brother."

"...."

The father-daughter pair’s exchange left Shi Yi dumbfounded. What does gaining weight have to do with giving birth to a little brother? Where did this child get such ideas?

Seeing Shi Yi’s face turn red and white alternately, Leng Yixiu coughed twice and explained, "Don’t overthink it. Kids say the darnedest things."

Kids say the darnedest things?

Shi Yi narrowed her eyes at the man opposite her. Why did she feel like his lips twitched slightly in a good mood, and Xiao Yi Xun’s words seemed to hit his sweet spot?
