With Li Xi's antics, the journey to the Luo family's old house seemed a little faster than usual.

When the car drove into the gate of the old house, Assistant Jiang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was still a little dazed. Did they arrive so soon?

Li Xi didn't have such feelings. She just felt that tonight's villain boss was particularly gentle, not at all like a domineering CEO. The way he lowered his eyes and watched Li Xi speak was also slightly gentle.

If Li Xi hadn't had such a strong mental state, she would have definitely thought that Luo Jingxuan liked her.

As soon as he got out of the car, Luo Jingxuan put on the icy face that Li Xi was so familiar with. When Li Xi looked over, Luo Jingxuan happened to look over as well. Then he moved his arm and signaled Li Xi to hold onto him.

Li Xi wasn't stupid enough to ask what was going on, so she tactfully placed her hand on Luo Jingxuan's arm. Then, she put on a proper and elegant smile, straightened her back, and walked towards the hall in unison with Luo Jingxuan.

Paired with today's makeup, she looked like a confident and relaxed young lady from a noble family. Li Xi herself didn't feel that her temperament was any different from usual, at most she straightened her usually slumped shoulders.

Assistant Jiang, who was walking behind them, felt it very clearly. She didn't expect that Miss Jiang, who is usually talkative, funny, loves to complain and is lazy, can be so eye-catching after dressing up. Coupled with this posture, she can be said to be a perfect match for the boss!

Li Xi had no idea what was going on in Assistant Jiang's mind. The moment she stepped through the door, she almost couldn't suppress her smile. There were too many people here. Two standing here, three sitting there, a few leaning against the cabinets, a few more milling around in the open space, and a bunch of little kids running around the room.

Is this still the Luo family mansion I visited last time, one that "smelled of money"? Could this be some lavishly decorated vegetable market? Haha, it's too noisy.

The corners of Li Xi's mouth twitched, and she felt a little irritable. She unconsciously used a little force on her hand. Luo Jingxuan noticed her little movement, turned his head to look at her, and patted the back of her hand to comfort her.

Li Xi wasn't appeased, but instead became even more irritable. Li Xi really disliked noisy places, especially those with noisy children. If this were her own home, she would immediately find an empty room to hide away, but this was the Luo family, and it was Grandpa Luo's birthday party.

Li Xi couldn't get angry, so she grabbed Luo Jingxuan's arm angrily and turned her head to give him a cold look.

Luo Jingxuan pretended not to hear anything and pulled Li Xi inside. Then they were greeted by all the relatives and friends.

In fact, someone saw them as early as when their car drove into the gate of the old house, but due to Luo Jingxuan's majesty, no one dared to go outside the door to greet them.

As soon as they stepped through the gate, the crowd began to get restless, but they were also secretly competing with each other, after all, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot.

As soon as they saw Li Xi standing next to Luo Jingxuan, they couldn't sit still anymore. Li Xi's appearance was so alluring. After all, her previous character was a beautiful, innocent girl, so Li Xi's appearance was bright and friendly. In addition, she had a decent smile on her face as soon as she entered the door, giving people the illusion that she was easy to talk to at first sight.

That’s right, it’s an illusion.

The original text depicts Li Xi as rebellious, but because she lacks love, she'll be easy to talk to if you show some kindness. But this Li Xi is a social animal who's been working in the workplace for years, and a new media personality who's been working in new media for years.

It's a wonder she's good at talking; she's good enough if she doesn't poke holes in people's chests. Back when she was working in new media, whenever she wrote about hot social topics, her words were fiery and eloquent, making netizens scream.

Although Li Xi is rarely so sharp-tongued in real life, she is definitely not someone who is easy to talk to.

"Oh, this is Jingxuan's wife, right? She's so pretty." I don't know if it was a polite remark from an aunt or an uncle.

"Jingxuan, I haven't seen you for a year, you look more handsome again." I don't know if this is flattery from my aunt, uncle or aunt.

"Brother and sister-in-law, please sit down. Everyone is waiting for you!" This was the greeting from the younger sister who came from nowhere and thought she was familiar with them.

Luo Jingxuan only nodded slightly, without introducing them one by one. Li Xi understood that these were distant relatives, so Li Xi did not say anything, but just looked at them with a smile, as if she were a fake person.

The aunts and uncles did not feel embarrassed at being treated so coldly. They just kept inviting the two of them to sit on the sofa, which was in the middle of the female relatives.

Luo Jingxuan didn't bother to be polite. He chose a place a little further away from the crowd and took Li Xi to sit down.

After the two sat down, a tactful servant served them tea. Li Xi looked around and found that everyone was drinking the same tea. No one was making any exceptions! This was nothing like the wealthy families described in novels, where everyone drinks something different.

Seeing this situation, Li Xi didn't ask for anything, but just sat obediently next to Luo Jingxuan and played the role of a well-behaved and sensible young wife.

When someone talks to her, she will reply if she is interested, but if she is not interested, she will just look at the other person with a confused face and not say anything. Her main point is to follow her heart.

It was just so noisy that it gave Li Xi a headache. The only consolation was that with Luo Jingxuan as a big Buddha, no naughty kids dared to come in their direction.

God knows, when Li Xi saw an aunt next door, whose name was something like "gu" or "yi", chatting happily, a child came running over from somewhere with a glass of milk in his hand - yes, the adults drank the same kind of tea, and the children drank the same kind of milk.

When the child ran near the aunt, he somehow slipped and fell, spilling the milk all over the aunt. The sight made Li Xi's veins throb. If that happened to her, she would probably kick the child away.
