“You speak too highly of me,” Qin Shixuan responded with a smile. “The charity dinner is organized by my wife. She’s very passionate about doing charitable and benevolent acts. And I, as her husband, of course, will support her. It would be an honor for the three of you to attend my wife’s charity dinner. Of course, if you’re busy, it’s okay if you can’t make it.”

Zhai Yunsheng didn’t respond to Qin Shixuan immediately. Instead, he turned around to look at Jian Yiling.

Jian Yiling replied in a quiet voice, “I don’t want to go.”

Although her voice was quiet, she had yet again, clearly rejected him.

Jian Yiling felt a little bad for rejecting someone’s good intentions.

In her opinion, when Qin Shixuan suggested for her to change her career pathing, that was her personal matters and decisions. Of course, she could refuse him without a second thought.

However, he had good intentions behind inviting them to the charity dinner. As a result, she felt bad for saying no.

But Jian Yiling had no time to spare. Other than eating and sleeping, she had been working overtime these days.

“Then, we’re not going,” Zhai Yunsheng responded. He was incredibly direct with his answer.

Master Sheng didn’t feel bad for saying no. If he wanted to decline an offer, he would.

“That’s fine, that’s fine,” Qin Shixuan responded. He saw that Jian Yiling appeared to look a little awkward when she had declined his offer. He didn’t want to make things difficult for her. If she had something on, he couldn’t force her to come and join in on the fun.

After saying what he wanted to say, Qin Shixuan didn’t linger around for any longer. He bid his farewell to Zhai Yunsheng and left their private room.

After Qin Shixuan left, Yu Xi couldn’t help but exclaim, “Oh my, God Ling. I respect and worship you more and more now!”

It was quite a strange feeling. At a surface level, the little girl next door seemed to need their protection. However, as he gradually got to know her, Yu Xi admired her more and more.

It was like this when they were playing Zerg Invasion. And somehow, it was like that again right now.

Jian Yiling didn’t respond to Yu Xi’s admiration.

Instead, she focused on eating.

She said that she’d eat a lot of meat. So she would definitely have to eat more.

Upon receiving no response, Yu Xi glanced at Zhai Yunsheng. He noticed that Zhai Yunsheng was also concentrating on eating.

Erm...

Yu Xi paused for around five seconds. Then, he resigned himself and poured a cup of healthy and nutritious soy milk for both of them.

For now, he wouldn’t think about anything else. Taking care of these two was his main objective.

Or else, who would carry him in Zerg Invasion?

After dinner, Jian Yiling returned home.

As Jian Yiling had been incredibly busy recently, Yu Xi and Zhai Yunsheng could tell that she was tired. They didn’t want to take up any more of her time. Dinner was enough.

Although Yu Xi wanted Jian Yiling to carry him in games, he didn’t want to make such a request when she appeared to be so tired.

Thus, when Jian Yiling got out of the car, he told her to rest well.

However, around nine o’clock in the evening, Yu Xi called Jian Yiling. He sounded incredibly anxious on the phone:

“God Ling, save me!”

This was the first time Jian Yiling heard Yu Xi’s voice in such a panic.

“What’s the matter?”

Jian Yiling immediately put down the work that she had in hand and listened to Yu Xi attentively.

“Just now, Master Sheng cut his arm on the gym equipment. It’s a huge cut. Around 7-8 centimeters in fact. However, he refuses to pay attention to his injury. In fact, he’s still on the gym equipment! He refuses to rest! Ahhh, I’m going crazy!”

Yu Xi’s voice was filled with worry.

If this was a normal person, Yu Xi wouldn’t be so worried about a cut like this.

However, the injured person was Zhai Yunsheng. This made matters completely different.

Any injury to Zhai Yunsheng was not a trivial matter.

This was not only because he was the only child of the Zhai family, it was also because his physical condition was different from ordinary people.
