Shi Xi: ...Is it my fault?

After Shi Xu left, Shi Xi immediately messaged Tao Yuxuan: 【Shi Xu is going to annul the engagement tomorrow!】

The other party replied with a message: 【What do you mean by annulment?】

As Shi Xi typed, she thought to herself, "What else is there to ask—wait a minute!"

How did she send it to Xie Yunzhou's chat box?!

Shi Xi had been chatting with Tao Yuxuan, but she didn't know when Xie Yunzhou sent a message. She accidentally sent it to Xie Yunzhou instead.

Shi Xi had no choice but to explain the whole story, and then sent the message to Tao Yuxuan.

Tao Yuxuan: [It's definitely impossible to untie! Old people love to play matchmaker, watching their own children suffer.]

Shi Xi: Unable to speak.

Xie Yunzhou: [Are you free tomorrow night? Qingshuiju has a few new dishes.]

Xie Yunzhou showed absolutely no interest in Shi Xu's marriage.

He only cared whether Shi Xi had time to go on a date with him tomorrow.

Oh no, having dinner with him.

Shi Xi replied, "Sure, my crew wraps up around six."

As long as we don't film night scenes, we finish work before 6 PM every day.

Lou Ruicong and she are both good actors, so filming went smoothly. They finished work at 4 pm today, but filmed a few more scenes and finished at 5:30 pm.

Modern dramas don't require removing hair or changing clothes.

Much more convenient.

After the two made the appointment, Shi Xi realized that she had made too many dinner plans with Xie Yunzhou.

Neither she nor Tao Yuxuan had ever made a date like this!

Aside from being a little slow-witted, Tao Yuxuan was still quite good to her.

Wanting to maintain their friendship, Shi Xi messaged Tao Yuxuan: "I'm free the day after tomorrow afternoon, wanna go shopping together? I'll treat you to dinner."

Tao Yuxuan: [Sure, I was worried you wouldn't have time!]

Shi Xi glanced at the date and asked, "That day was a weekday, weren't you working?"

Tao Yuxuan: [It's my own company, I can skip work whenever I want.]

Grass.

After making all the arrangements, Shi Xi lay down happily, looking forward to the delicious food at Qing Shui Ju and the beautiful clothes at the mall.

The appointment was for 6 PM, but Xie Yunzhou had his assistant deliver lunch to Shi Xi at noon.

Shi Xi opened the lunchbox and remarked, "Qingshuiju never delivers takeout; they only serve dine-in."

The assistant smiled and said, "Mr. Xie owns shares in Qingshuiju."

Shi Xi pondered, "No wonder I eat there every day, it turns out it's because they don't charge me."

assistant:?

It seems he said something wrong.

"Mr. Xie pays for meals at Qingshuiju," the assistant quickly explained.

"It's all his money anyway." Shi Xi was about to eat when she saw her assistant was still there and asked, "Don't you need to go back to work?"

Of course I have to go back to work!

The assistant, exhausted, said, "Ms. Shi, I'll head back now."

“Okay, I’ll wash the lunchbox and bring it to you tonight,” Shi Xi said again.

The assistant felt none of this mattered.

The important thing is that Shi Xi won't think President Xie is a petty person because of his words!

Mr. Xie really just likes Qingshuiju because it's delicious—wait a minute!

The assistant pondered, could it be that Mr. Xie really went to Qingshuiju because he didn't have to let others make money from his consumption?

Shi Xi successfully swayed Xie Yunzhou's assistant's thinking.

After finishing work, Shi Xi first sent a message to Shi Xu to ask how the engagement was going.

Timeline: [She mentioned breaking the contract, and Grandpa thought she was gentle and magnanimous, and liked her even more.]

As expected.

Shi Xi: [So the engagement hasn't been dissolved?]

Timeline: [No, Grandpa even scolded me.]

An unexpected situation.

But if she goes, she'll probably get scolded too.

Shi Xi offered a few words of comfort and then prepared to go to Qingshuiju for dinner.
