nShi Xi was sprawled on the ground. The pain caused by her fall had finally cleared her mind a little.

n

nShe slowly reached out to press down on the carpet and stood up.

n

nShi Xi really had no recollection of what had happened just now. She only knew that she had missed her step and that the world had turned upside down before she was sprawled on the ground.

n

nAfter seeing this scene, Sheng Yan felt both angry and amused. He strode over and helped Shi Xi up. He asked, “Where did you get hurt?”

n

nShi Xi shook her head. “I’m fine. It’s just a minor injury.”

n

nShe had fallen from the middle of the stairs halfway down when she missed her step.

n

nThe floor was covered with a soft carpet, so she was not injured.

n

nSheng Yan, who had been angry because he had been waiting, was now much less angry. “It’s already 11 o’clock. Why were you still sleeping?”

n

n“I played a game last night.” Shi Xi sat on the sofa and finally returned to normal. She said to the servant, “By the way, serve tea to Sheng Yan.”

n

nSheng Yan said expressionlessly, “I’ve already drunk five cups of tea in the two hours I’ve been waiting for you.”

n

n“Didn’t they serve you some snacks and fruits?” After Shi Xi asked, she saw the fruits and snacks on the table.

n

nSheng Yan: …He came here to talk to Shi Xi, not to have afternoon tea!

n

nShi Xi coughed. “Why are you looking for me?” Couldn’t he discuss something with her parents, brother, and sister? Why was he looking for her?

n

nSheng Yan took a deep breath and introduced another person who was sitting on the sofa. “This is Lilith, a designer invited from abroad. She’s here to measure you and make you an engagement dress.”

n

nIf that was the case, no one else could do it for her.

n

nLilith was a beautiful blonde with blue eyes. She smiled and said, “Hello, Miss Shi. I’m Lilith. After I measure you, if you have any suggestions for the wedding dress, you can tell me. I’ll try my best to satisfy you.”

n

n“Okay.” Shi Xi nodded and looked at Sheng Yan with a conflicted expression. “Are you really going to get engaged?”

n

nSheng Yan’s face darkened. “Shi! Xi!”

n

n“I’m just asking.” Shi Xi quickly looked at Lilith and asked, “Do you have any recommended designs?”

n

nWith a professional smile on her face, the wedding dress designer Lilith began to recommend to Shi Xi. “May I know what color engagement dress you would like?”

n

nShi Xi looked at Sheng Yan and said in a deliberating tone, “White… I think?”

n

nSheng Yan said calmly, “It’s good to do whatever you like. Don’t mind my opinion.”

n

nShi Xi said, “After all, you’re the one who’s spending the money.”

n

nSheng Yan: …Sooner or later, he would be angered to death by Shi Xi.

n

nWhat happened next was even faster. Shi Xi did not pay much attention to this engagement party at all. Everything was focused on extravagance and luxury.

n

nThe smile on Lilith’s face gradually froze.

n

nShe felt that Shi Xi was not choosing an engagement dress.

n

nShe was playing a game of changing clothes.

n

nAfter Sheng Yan drank another two cups of tea, Lilith finally ended her conversation with Shi Xi.

n

nLilith got up and bade them farewell. She was ready to go back and make the engagement dress.

n

nShi Xi saw the guest off and realized that Sheng Yan had not moved. “Aren’t you going back?”

n

nSheng Yan sat motionlessly on the sofa. “I’ll eat here for lunch.”

n

nShi Xi: “???”

n

n“You’ve drunk so much tea. Do you still have anything to eat? Don’t you need to go to the bathroom?” Shi Xi looked at Sheng Yan’s stomach and thought to herself, ‘If he drinks so much, will he not only be bald but also have a beer belly in the future?’

n

nSheng Yan told himself not to argue with Shi Xi. He took a deep breath and said, “I still have to go to the company in the afternoon. Hurry up and get someone to cook.”

n

n“What do you want to eat?” Shi Xi asked.

n

nSheng Yan said, “I don’t eat spicy food. I don’t eat duck meat or mutton.”

n

nShi Xi sighed and said, “Oh no, they made roast duck and spicy mutton soup for lunch.”

n

nSheng Yan: “?!”

n

n“I’m just kidding. The kitchen was already cooking. We can start eating in ten minutes.” Shi Xi was very happy.

n

nSheng Yan stood up and stared at Shi Xi with his deep eyes.

n

n“You, what are you doing?” Shi Xi took two steps back and said under the pressure of the male protagonist, “I was just kidding…”

n

nSheng Yan ignored Shi Xi and silently turned around to go to the bathroom.

n

nSheng Yan and Shi Xi were childhood sweethearts. When Sheng Yan was young, he often came to the Shi family to play, so he was familiar with the structure of the Shi family. However, he seldom came after he became an adult.

n

nShi Xi saw Sheng Yan walking into the bathroom and thought to herself that he really drank too much tea.
