After Shi Xi finished speaking, she quietly looked at the two of them.

"Then what do you want?" Leng Qiankun asked, his head lowered and his voice light and airy.

Shi Xi: "Hmm?"

Leng Qiankun's voice was too soft; she didn't hear it clearly.

"Then what do you want?" Leng Qiankun looked up, his eyes dark, and asked again.

Shi Xi pondered, muttering to herself, "What do I want?"

There's no need to even consider that!

All she wanted was to live!

Tao Yuxuan no longer cared about Leng Qiankun's thoughts and simply said, "Xixi, Ning Yu's appearance has taken away all your efforts of the past eighteen years. The Shi family should have a share of it! Moreover, I heard that the Sheng family and the Shi family are preparing for an engagement banquet, and they might be going to marry Ning Yu to Sheng Yan! Don't you mind?"

Shi Xi thought to herself: Then I really don't mind at all!

"An engagement party?" Shi Xi snapped out of her daze. "Invitations have been sent out?"

"Not yet." Tao Yuxuan shook her head and gritted her teeth, "But you're not at the Shi family right now. The Shi family is making such active preparations, it must be for that little hussy Ning Yu!"

Shi Xi: ...She genuinely hoped it was for Ning Yu's sake.

"They're helping me and Sheng Yan prepare for our engagement banquet," Shi Xi said helplessly. "Couldn't you have asked me beforehand if you were doing something like this?"

Tao Yuxuan was stunned for a moment, then touched her head somewhat embarrassedly, "Isn't it because I was afraid you'd be sad?"

After speaking, Tao Yuxuan looked at Leng Qiankun.

Shi Xi is no longer sad; it's someone else's heart that's broken.

It's common knowledge that Leng Qiankun likes Shi Xi, but now that Shi Xi is getting engaged to Sheng Yan, wouldn't he be heartbroken?

At this moment, Leng Qiankun pursed his lips tightly, his eyes cold and deep, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.

"Alright, don't mess with Ning Yu in the future." Shi Xi stood up, taking the music box with her, and said, "I'm taking this."

Leaving him here would only anger Leng Qiankun.

Tao Yuxuan subconsciously said, "I'll take you."

"I'll take a taxi myself." After politely declining, Shi Xi glanced at Leng Qiankun and whispered to Tao Yuxuan, "Keep an eye on him."

Tao Yuxuan nodded.

Shi Xi left with the music box, completely unaware of the listening device inside.

*

At the back door of the Enchanted Night store, a black Santana was parked in an inconspicuous spot.

On the car, the two had already heard the entire conversation in the private compartment.

"The music box is with Shi Xi." Cheng Yue looked at Ning Yu. "What should we do?"

Ning Yu leaned back in her chair and said calmly, "I'll go to the Leng family's place tonight."

Orange Moon said anxiously, "It's too dangerous."

Ning Yu narrowed her light eyes slightly, a resolute determination like ice and snow flowing in her eyes, "No matter how dangerous it is, I will go."

...

Shi Xi brought the music box back to the hotel, placed it on her bedside table, and listened to the music, feeling extremely happy.

I didn't have any direct conflict with the female lead today!

hapiness!

Shi Xi had just finished showering and was about to lie in bed to play games when there was a knock on the door.

Han Chuan came in, frowned at Shi Xi, and then opened the refrigerator door.

Shi Xi: "What kind of drink would you like? It seems like we don't have any in the fridge."

Han Chuan simply counted the number of face masks Shi Xi had on, then immediately questioned, "How many days has it been since you last used a face mask?!"

Shi Xi gasped.

Han Chuan took out another cream puff from inside, "You still want to eat this?!"

Shi Xi took a few steps back and gripped the doorknob tightly.

"Still trying to run away?" Han Chuan frowned, picked up the cream puff, and said, "Sit down."

Shi Xi stood to the side, saying, "I'll just stand here."

Han Chuan sat on the sofa, looked up at Shi Xi, and said, "Do you want me to look up to you?"

"Looking up means looking up into the distance, while looking up means looking up," Shi Xi corrected. "You used the wrong word."

Han Chuan remained expressionless.

Shi Xi obediently sat down.
