Sheng Yan's expression was not good. "The person I'm engaged to has always been Shi Xi. Now you're saying you want to change her?"

"I'm just clarifying the facts." Shi Xu smiled faintly, his smile gentle, as if there was no aggression in it.

What a cunning old fox.

Sheng Yan took a deep breath to calm himself down and said, "I still stand by what I said: my fiancée is only Shi Xi."

Whether it's postponing the engagement banquet or breaking off the engagement, I will only talk to Shi Xi.

Seeing that Sheng Yan was so unyielding, Shi Xu sighed inwardly and had no choice but to change the subject.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Yan was even more stubborn than he had imagined.

But he had already promised Xie Yunzhou that he would postpone the engagement banquet.

After returning home, Shi Xu called Shi Xi and repeated what Sheng Yan had said.

"Huh? Sheng Yan wants to talk to me?" Shi Xi asked, puzzled. "What is there for me to talk to him about?"

Hasn't Sheng Yan never liked her?

Timeline: "He said that whether it's postponing the engagement banquet or breaking off the engagement, he will only talk to you about it."

Shi Xi sat up in bed, her eyes filled with confusion. "Why? Didn't you used to find me annoying and not want to see me?"

Why?

The timing is also unclear.

"Do you want to talk to him?" Shi Xu asked.

"But I can't go back right now, I'm busy filming here." Shi Xi glanced at her schedule and asked, "Have the engagement party invitations been sent out yet?"

"Not yet, but both families have already made a big fuss about it, preparing for the engagement banquet." Shi Xu added, "They've even chosen the venue."

Shi Xi scratched her head. "Is anyone having a birthday recently? Why don't we give up the venue?"

Timing: "...None".

"Forget it, I'll call Sheng Yan first and ask him what he's thinking." Shi Xi couldn't figure it out, so she could only go straight to the point.

After hanging up the phone, Shi Xi called Sheng Yan. After exchanging a few pleasantries, she asked, "My brother told me you don't want to postpone the engagement banquet?"

Hearing the girl's question, Sheng Yan felt a little displeased. "You can get engaged whenever you want, and postpone it whenever you want. Wouldn't I lose face?"

Shi Xi: "Then how about this, you decide to postpone it."

Sheng Yan: ? ? ?

You're such a clever little devil!

"Why did you suddenly decide to postpone the engagement banquet?" Sheng Yan asked in a low voice, holding his phone.

Didn't you like him a lot before?

Sheng Yan felt a tightness in his chest.

Because you're the male lead, and I'm just the female supporting character!

Like birds and fish, our relationship will never have an ending.

Shi Xi thought this to herself, but couldn't say it directly, so she could only ask, "If we don't postpone the engagement banquet, will you marry me?"

Shouldn't you like Ning Yu?!

Sheng Yan did not answer, but said, "I will reconsider the engagement banquet."

Shi Xi: ?

What else are you considering?

But Sheng Yan had already hung up the phone, not giving Shi Xi a chance to ask questions.

Shi Xi looked at her phone and asked the system, "Shouldn't Sheng Yan like Ning Yu? Shouldn't he be eager to break off our engagement? Why is he unwilling to even postpone the engagement banquet?"

System: [You say you'll get engaged, and you say you'll postpone it, and you say you'll postpone it? Sheng Yan is a person, of course he'll be angry!]

Shi Xi put herself in Sheng Yan's shoes and fell into deep thought.

What they did did did seem rather unethical.

"Then, do I really have to get engaged to Sheng Yan?" Shi Xi asked, her face conflicted.

System: [...I don't know. Let's take it one step at a time. The world's plot hasn't collapsed yet; we'll deal with it when it does.]

The system has been laid up.
