Chen Zhi put away her phone and continued to lie to her mother, "Mom, I'm going out to eat and I'll bring something back for you later."
She always said this, leading her mother to believe she was going out to eat alone.
But her mother knew that it was Si Ye who coerced her to go out every time, just so she could stay out a bit longer, while she could go upstairs to visit Si Chengye.
Chen Zhi's mother naturally wouldn't expose her, "Go ahead, your Aunt Xu and I aren't hungry, we had a heavy breakfast, so you can take your time and come back after eating."
Chen Zhi smiled guiltily, "I'll be back soon."
After saying goodbye to her mother and Aunt Xu, Chen Zhi ran down the stairs somewhat cheerfully; when Si Ye saw her coming out, he automatically opened the car door, and Chen Zhi hurriedly jumped in and closed the door.
The sun was too intense outside; it was much cooler inside the car.
