Some Things Were Best Left Unsaid

Mother Shi's hopes were instantly shattered by Shi Beiyu's words, and she let out an awkward laugh in return. She could only say, "Okay. Got it."

Not only could she not meet his girlfriend, but he even told her off. As such, Mother Shi could only leave in disappointment. 

Once Mother Shi finally left, Uncle Zhong let out a deep breath of relief. He looked at Shi Beiyu funnily and said, "You know, Little Beibei, I was just reading a book in the courtyard this morning when the air suddenly felt ominous. As soon as I looked up, I saw the She-Devil."

Shi Beiyu was speechless. 

"So, I immediately threw my book down and rushed upstairs to inform you about it. The She-Devil would definitely have eaten you alive if she found out that the girl in your arms was little Siyin!"

Shi Beiyu narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to pat Uncle Zhong's shoulder. "Thank you."

After that, he turned around and headed upstairs.
