"Hello, we've already issued you a membership card. Just show the QR code before your next checkout." The receptionist smiled warmly and friendly, as if she had just earned 2 million.

Shi Xi put away her phone. "Okay, thank you."

Xie Yunzhou left with Shi Xi and happened to run into Sheng Yan, who was coming in through the main gate, along with Sheng Yan's friends.

"Brother Sheng, isn't that your fiancée?" a crony whispered. "Why is she with Xie Yunzhou?"

Sheng Yan looked over, his brow furrowing slightly.

When did these two become acquainted? And even eat together?

Sheng Yan saw the two of them, and the two of them naturally saw Sheng Yan as well.

"Oh, Sheng Yan?" Shi Xi smiled and said when she saw Sheng Yan, "You're here to eat with your friends?"

Sheng Yan responded, as if he hadn't seen Xie Yunzhou at all, and asked, "You yourself?"

"I came with a friend." Shi Xi glanced at Xie Yunzhou and then instructed Sheng Yan, "You guys go eat, and remember to drink less alcohol."

Sheng Yan smiled, but said, "You're so nosy."

Shi Xi thought to herself, "I'm doing this for your own good."

If Ning Yu really dislikes you because of your baldness, you'll have nowhere to cry.

Although Sheng Yan cared about Xie Yunzhou, he knew that Shi Xi loved him deeply and would never fall for someone else.

So, Sheng Yan felt relieved and went to eat with her friends.

Even when it came time to order, his friends were still gossiping: "Brother Sheng, aren't you afraid Shi Xi will cheat on you?"

"She's not my fiancée yet, what's with all this cuckoldry?" Sheng Yan leaned back in his chair, tapping the table with his finger. "Are we going to order anything?"

"Order, order, order!" The group of friends quickly changed the subject and started ordering food. "Brother Sheng, what would you like to drink?"

Sheng Yan said calmly, "Give me a cup of rose tea."

"Hmm, I'll have a bottle of roses—Holy crap! Sheng-ge, you don't drink?"

"Because Shi Xi wouldn't allow it just now?" another person guessed.

"I never would have guessed that Brother Sheng is henpecked."

Sheng Yan ignored the group of single people, but in his heart he was thinking that Shi Xi's behavior was not good.

She hasn't even married into the Sheng family yet, and she's already interfering in so much.

Wouldn't that sound terrible if word got out?

I need to have a proper talk with Shixi next time.

At least privately remind him to save face for him in public.

...

Sheng Yan was so engrossed in his own thoughts in the private room that he didn't pay any attention to Xie Yunzhou.

Xie Yunzhou, however, felt displeased upon seeing Sheng Yan, his upright fiancé, appear.

In particular, Shi Xi's instructions to Sheng Yan sounded like those of a real couple.

Xie Yunzhou concealed his emotions, not revealing a trace of them. "I'll take you back to your hotel first."

After dropping Shi Xi off, Xie Yunzhou remembered something and said, "This is a gift for you."

Shi Xi looked at the gift bag from Shengshi Jewelry in front of her and asked in surprise, "You? You're giving this to me?"

Xie Yunzhou: "Yes, you saved my life, this is a thank-you gift for you."

"It was really just a small favor, you don't need to—" Shi Xi was about to refuse, but when she saw Xie Yunzhou look up, she immediately accepted the gift bag. "Thank you!"

Xie Yunzhou responded, closed the car window, and drove off.

Shi Xi walked into the hotel carrying a gift bag, thinking that it would be great if Xie Yunzhou took her shopping with him.

If she goes to Shengshi Jewelry now, Shengyan will give her a 50% discount.

Back in her room, Shi Xi opened the gift Xie Yunzhou had given her.

It is an exquisitely designed and very sparkly diamond hair clip.

The hair clip features three large diamonds at the end, surrounded by numerous smaller diamonds that refract dazzling light under the lamp.

"It looks pretty good." Shi Xi clipped up her stray hairs with a hair clip and went straight to take a shower.

Hmm, it's really practical!
