"The Girl out of Reach" Die Young 3

A discreet cough disrupted the proximity between Shen Qi and Qin Chi.

Mother Shen couldn't bear their closeness any longer and let out a soft cough.

Shen Qi and Qin Chi turned their heads towards her simultaneously, their eyes full of anticipation.

It was as if Mother Shen momentarily believed she was the Heavenly Queen herself, intervening to separate the Cowherd and the Weaver Maid.

"Well, um, Xiao Chi, could you please take care of Qiqi for a moment? I need to step out," Mother Shen said, finding it hard to instruct them to keep their distance under those expectant gazes.

Then again, they were engaged, so what harm was there in them spending time together?

She would make an excuse to leave.

After Madam Shen left, Shen Qi, in a delicate and vulnerable manner, leaned towards Qin Chi. "A'chi, is that my mother?"

"Yes,..." Qin Chi began to respond before realizing Shen Qi's memory loss.
