The two of them had just walked out of the research institute.
Nan Tianyi was waiting for them outside. "You're out?"
Seeing them come out, Nan Tianyi stubbed out his cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and quickly ran over. Exuding coldness, he looked at them not as if they were a family, but as if they were strangers.
Mother Xie's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a strong sense of unease…
She pulled Xie Xinyao closer to her and forced a smile. "Tianyi, why are you here?"
Nan Tianyi ignored her. His sharp gaze passed her and landed on Xie Xinyao, who was hiding behind her. His gaze was like a knife, scaring Xie Xinyao so much that she hurriedly lowered her head and stammered, "Uncle."
Nan Tianyi did not respond.
Mother Xie was a little flustered. She immediately stood in front of her daughter and pretended to be relaxed as she said, "Tianyi, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I could have come out to pick you up."
