Zhao Xier paused, and her gaze subconsciously looked inside. "Where's Xiao Mohan? I'm looking for him. "
"You're looking for Mohan? He's revising his homework in his room and might not have time to come out. If you have anything to say, you can tell me. I'll help you pass the message to him," Ye Zhen said with a smile.
Zhao Xier knew that Ye Zhen's words were an excuse. She did not want her to see Xiao Mohan. However, that was better. She could go back and report to Yang Guiying. Zhao Xier opened her eyes and looked at Ye Zhen indifferently. "It's fine. Since he's not free, it's fine. I'm not looking for him for anything important." After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave. However, after a few steps, she suddenly stopped as if she had remembered something.
Previously, the utility system had said that as long as Zhao Xier did not break her character setting in front of Xiao Mohan, it would be fine. That meant that even if she treated Ye Zhi with a better attitude, it would not be considered a break in her character setting. After realizing that, Zhao Xier turned around and walked back. Ye Zhen saw Zhao Xier leave and heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. However, she did not expect Zhao Xier to return after taking a few steps.
Ye Jin was speechless. She regretted not closing the door quickly.
When Ye Zhen saw Zhao Xier approaching, she could only smile and ask, "Young Master Xier, is there anything else you need?"
"You can just call me Zhao Xier." Zhao Xier lowered her voice and glanced at Ye Zhen uneasily. Her eyes were gentle, and there was no trace of the hostility from before. She touched her neck and blinked her eyes rapidly. With slight embarrassment, she said, "That ... I was wrong during the day. I'm sorry."
"It's fine, it's fine. It's not your fault. You don't have to apologize." When Ye Zhen heard Zhao Xier's apology, not only did she not look happy, but she also became even more flustered. She feared that Zhao Xier would tease her.
Zhao Xier exhaled a sigh of relief upon hearing Ye Zhen's words. She then peered through the door and searched the house for Xiao Jiashu, who had cried twice that day. Sadly, she did not notice him. "Auntie Ye Zhen, is Xiao Jiashu here?"
Ye Zhen nodded subconsciously. "He's... He's already asleep."
Zhao Xier could tell Ye Zhen was lying, but she chose not to expose her. She waved goodbye to Ye Zhen and walked away calmly.
Zhao Xier walked away without hesitation, but Ye Zhen was alarmed by her completely different demeanor. She gripped the door frame tightly before raising her hand to pinch her face. "Ouch... It stings. This is not a dream. So, the person who just apologized to me was Zhao Xier? What is going on? Did that person have two personalities?
"Mom? What were you doing standing at the door? Didn't you say you would read me a bedtime story tonight?" Xiao Jiashu pushed open the door and walked out. When he saw Ye Zhen standing at the door in a daze, he asked, perplexed, "What is wrong, Mom? Is someone outside?"
"No, I opened the door for some fresh air. Go back to bed," Ye Jin said as she regained his composure. "I will be with you after I finish washing the dishes, okay?"
Xiao Jiashu was already a little sleepy. He rubbed his eyes and nodded obediently. He had just taken a shower, and the overalls he had changed out of were still on the bed. Xiao Jiashu put the fairy tale book aside, then picked up his overalls and was about to hang them on the clothes rack. However, as soon as he picked them up, he felt something in his pocket.
"Hmm... What is that?" Xiao Jiashu reached out in a daze and took out two pieces of chocolate. The temperature was high in the summer, so the chocolate had melted. Xiao Jiashu looked at the chocolate in his hand, and his sleepy consciousness went away. He remembered visiting Yang Guiying with Xiao Mohan, and Zhao Xier pulled him. At that time, Xiao Jiashu vaguely felt Zhao Xier touch him, but he was too scared at that time and only cared about avoiding her, not paying attention to anything else. Hence, Zhao Xier must have secretly placed those two pieces of chocolate in his pocket. Xiao Jiashu opened his eyes wide and sniffed the chocolate in his hand carefully. In the end, he could not resist the temptation of the sweet chocolate and licked the melted part. It was very sweet, fragrant, and sweet. The taste was rich, very different from the candy he usually ate.
As it was Xiao Jiashu's first time eating chocolate, he only had two thoughts in his mind. Firstly, the chocolate was delicious. Secondly, Brother Zhao Xier did not seem to be a bad person.
