Chapter 1539: Engagement

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

This matter?

Xie Yunzhou heaved a sigh of relief.

He really had nothing to be sad about.

“Did my mother say anything to you?” Shi Xi suddenly asked.

Xie Yunzhou’s heart jumped again. “W-what?”

“Hua Xuanhe said that my mother wanted to talk to you.” Shi Xi scooped some soup for herself. “What did you talk about?”

“Nothing. She just wanted me to treat you well.” Xie Yunzhou snatched Shi Xi’s bowl away. “I’ll get it.”

Shi Xi felt strange.

Why was he so strange?

Was he sad because Xie Zhongshan was looking for trouble?

Shi Xi magnanimously understood Xie Yunzhou’s difficulties and did not ask further.

“Perhaps we can discuss our engagement,” said Xie Yunzhou.

Shi Xi almost dropped the spoon in her hand. “Hmm?”

“An engagement. We were too busy a while ago, but now we finally have some time,” said Xie Yunzhou seriously.

“My production team is still very busy. Let’s wait a little longer.” Shi Xi looked around and snatched Xie Yunzhou’s bowl. “This soup is not bad. Try it!”

Xie Zhongshan had no choice but to receive Yan Linlang’s message.

Yan Linlang had already been checked, but she still wanted to drag him into the mess.

When she saw Xie Zhongshan, they were still separated by the iron window. “You’re already like this, how can you help me?” Xie Zhongshan asked suspiciously.

“I’m not helping you. I just want revenge.” Yan Linlang’s eyes were cold. “Tao Boli spared no effort to help Xie Yunzhou because of Shi Xi. There must be something between them!”

“Even if there is, what can we do? Blame yourself for not being pretty enough and not being able to charm Tao Boli?” Xie Zhongshan snorted.

“Can’t you sow discord?” Yan Linlang seemed to be looking at a fool. “If Shi Xi and Xie Yunzhou fall out, Tao Boli will definitely help Shi Xi deal with Xie Yunzhou.”

Xie Zhongshan sat up straight and thought, “But, this is related to me. What good does this do for me?”

Yan Linlang took a deep breath. “If Xie Yunzhou falls, who will be the beneficiary?”

“Shi Xi? Tao Boli? What?” Xie Zhongshan’s eyes were filled with confusion. Yan Linlang didn’t speak. He finally couldn’t believe it. “You mean, I can benefit from it?”

Yan Linlang nodded.

Xie Zhongshan’s eyes were burning. “We have to plan this properly!”

Xie Yunzhou wanted to get engaged, but he couldn’t. He was thinking hard about what he had done wrong.

Assistant Xu saw his serious expression and thought that the company was going to close down. He mentally prepared himself and asked, “President Xie, what’s wrong with you?”

“It’s nothing,” Xie Yunzhou replied perfunctorily.

“Tell me, if there’s anything, I’ll help you share the burden.” Assistant Xu held the table and wondered if they were really going to go bankrupt.

Xie Yunzhou thought for a moment.

Three heads are better than Zhuge Liang.

“Tell me, why is Xi Xi unwilling to get engaged to me?” Xie Yunzhou asked.

Assistant Xu almost fell flat on the ground when he heard that.

Just this?

Just this?

Just this?

“President Xie, did Miss Shi say that she wanted to get married?” Assistant Xu felt that he was not tactful enough. He asked again, “Have you proposed?”

Xie Yunzhou: …Ah, I forgot this important step.

“Didn’t I propose at the engagement party?” The inexperienced Xie Yunzhou pretended to be calm.

“But you still have to propose in advance.” Assistant Xu stammered, “President Xie, I think Miss Shi probably doesn’t want to get married yet, right?”

Xie Yunzhou frowned slightly. “She took the initiative to announce our relationship, so I naturally have to think more.”
