As soon as he got off the plane, he ignored his mother and rushed directly to her residence.
He had the key to her house, so it was easy to get in, but she was not at home and it was empty, which made him feel even more disappointed.
She hasn't been here for a long time, and she is still a homebody. There are very few things in the refrigerator, but the room is not messy, and there is always someone cleaning it.
Shen Yichen looked at the time, called someone to deliver the food, and then went to the kitchen himself.
It was almost dark when Lei Qiqi came back. She rarely went out for so long, and she even brought a dog with her.
When she came back, she felt something was wrong. The lights in the living room were on, and there was still a smell of food floating around. She didn't know why, but she was suddenly too scared to step in.
It was as if I had entered the wrong home, it was a strange place.
But Shen Yichen had already walked out of the kitchen. He was even wearing a ridiculous apron, but he stood there with a gentle look on his face.
"Where did you go and come back so late?"
Even his words were still so doting, as if he had been waiting for her to come home countless times. He was so natural, which actually made Lei Qiqi feel like he had traveled through time and space.
How great would it be if she could go back in time a few years ago and she didn't know the truth about her parents' death and she was still the carefree little girl who grew up under his wings all day long.
Startled, he had already walked over.
"Why are you so dazed? Are you angry with me? You haven't even answered my phone calls during this period. Do you know that you are going to scare me again?"
He sighed and wanted to hug her, but Lei Qiqi took a big step back as if he was frightened.
"Why are you here?"
Did he finally think of her in the midst of his busy schedule?
Lei Qiqi suddenly felt conflicted about this house. His mother had just criticized her here and described her as so unbearable, and now, he was here again.
It was as if she was really pestering him and not letting him go.
"Qiqi——"
"Go away, I don't want to see you again, don't want to see you again, don't come to my house again, I didn't pester you, I won't pester you."
She shouted almost nervously and rushed upstairs.
Shen Yichen saw something was wrong with her, took two steps forward and stopped her directly, "What's going on? Who said what?"
Lei Qiqi didn't look at him and wanted to get away from him. Shen Yichen couldn't care about anything else at the moment. He stretched out his hands to hold her shoulders and steady her body, "Qiqi, be good, tell me. What happened?"
Perhaps his tone was too gentle, and she suddenly broke down and cried, "Why did you lie to me!"
"I didn't lie to you. It was my fault that night because I broke the promise. Don't be angry."
"Shen Yichen, are you taking revenge on me?"
"What did you say?" His face froze, a little in disbelief.
What happened, and why was she so resistant to him all of a sudden?
Lei Qiqi choked and pushed him away, looking at her fingers blankly, "I admit, I took advantage of you at the beginning. I just wanted you to help me deal with your elder brother, risking my body and myself. I am so bad about my feelings! Now you want to take revenge on me, and I admit it! But I never want to see you again, and I don’t want to be entangled with you anymore!"
She couldn't stand being called a little vixen, she couldn't stand being accused like that.
She couldn't stand it even more that he was clearly lying to her, so why did he act like he loved her now?
