“Uhke, uhke.”

Sitting nearby, Shen Xi suddenly coughed.

Picking up on the noise, Shangguan Yanqiu nervously turned over to Shen Xi red in the face, violently gasping for air. With Shen Xi coughing to tears, Shangguan Yanqiu immediately handed her a glass of water and patted her back.

Yun Jinping ran over and together with Shangguan Yanqiu, began their rescue of Shen Xi choking on her food.

Shen Xi chugged down the water and hacked for a long time before she was able to settle down. She cleared her throat and said, “I’m okay. The chili got me.”

Yun Jinping and Shangguan Yanqiu sighed with relief before exchanging glances and smiles.

While the two of them were frantically taking care of Shen Xi, the rest of the group were on the edge of their seats as they observed what was happening. Yu Yuanxi was the exception as he looked at Fu Qingxuan. There was something bugging him.

Xixi was the one who was choking, so why was Fu Qingxuan coughing as well? Was there a catch in his throat since he went red in the face too?

Fu Qingxuan was baffled by what was going on. It might be because he could not handle the spiciness of the chili. He took another bite of food but found it hard to suppress the urge to hack it out. Still, he was better to ride it out as he did not want to invite attention to him like Meanie. Fu Qingxuan drank a glass of water to hold down the discomfort.

Yu Yuanxi observed Fu Qingxuan before turning to Shen Xi. He noticed the change in Shen Xi’s expression when Song Wenye and Madam Fu were talking about Mr. Xixi.

He was sure that Shen Xi was familiar with Mr. Xixi. Surely, Shen Xi was able to fulfill Madam Fu’s request to see Mr. Xixi easily.

However, the complicated look on Shen Xi’s face was rather puzzling.

After the meal, Shangguan Yanqiu excused herself along with Fu Qingxuan.

Yun Jinping called them back. “Madam Fu, if you don’t mind, you and Xuan are welcome at my place to stay when you’re in the capital. We have to give you a proper welcome.”

She remembered that Xixi stayed at the Fu residence in Vienna last year.

“Yes, yes. I’ll get Xixi to show you around. She has time now that it’s the summer holidays.” Shen Zhangqing dragged Shen Xi into this.

Shen Xi, “…”

She did not want to be showing them around!

Nevertheless, Shen Xi bit the bullet and bobbed her head with a smile as her eyes met with Shangguan Yanqiu’s gentle and expectant eyes. “My dad’s right. I have plenty of time. We’d gladly have you at our home.”

“Thank you for taking the trouble to host us.” Shangguan Yanqiu was not used to imposing. Yet right now, she wanted nothing more than to follow the family back to the capital.

“It’s no trouble at all.” Yun Jinping continued. “I’m grateful to Qingxuan and Qingye for taking care of Xixi when she went to Vienna last year.”

Shangguan Yanqiu had no idea about that. She let out a tender grin and nodded her head. “It’s only proper.”

Was Xixi in Vienna last year? She also wanted to head to Vienna at the end of last year but was stopped by Ye. Was he afraid that she would run into Xixi there?
