Shi Xi lay on the ground, and the pain from the fall finally brought her back to her senses.

She slowly reached out and pressed her hand on the carpet, then stood up.

Shi Xi had no recollection of what had just happened; she only knew that she had stepped into thin air, then felt dizzy, and was lying face down.

After witnessing this scene, Sheng Yan was both amused and annoyed. He strode over, helped Shi Xi up, and asked, "Where did you fall?"

Shi Xi shook her head. "It's nothing, just a minor injury."

She was halfway down the stairs when she lost her footing and fell from the middle.

The area below was covered with soft carpet, so there were no injuries from the fall.

Sheng Yan, who was initially angry because of the wait, had calmed down considerably. "It's already eleven o'clock, why are you still sleeping?"

"I played some games last night." Shi Xi sat on the sofa, finally back to normal, and said to the maid, "Oh, by the way, serve Sheng Yan some tea."

Sheng Yan said expressionlessly, "I've already drunk five cups of tea in the two hours I've been waiting for you."

"Didn't they bring you any snacks or fruit?" Shi Xi asked, then noticed the fruits and pastries on the table.

Sheng Yan: ...He came to talk to Shi Xi about something, not to have morning tea!

Shi Xi coughed. "What do you want?" Why can't you discuss things with her parents, brother, or sister? Why do you need to talk to her?

Sheng Yan took a deep breath and introduced the other person sitting on the sofa, saying, "This is Lilith, a designer we invited from abroad. She's here today to take your measurements and make your engagement dress."

In that case, it's indeed impossible to ask someone else to do it for you.

Lilith, a beautiful blonde with blue eyes, smiled and said, "Hello, Miss Shi, I'm Lilith. After I take your measurements, please feel free to give me any suggestions you may have about the wedding dress, and I will try my best to accommodate them."

"Okay." Shi Xi nodded, then looked at Sheng Yan with a conflicted expression, "Are we really getting engaged?"

Sheng Yan's face darkened. "Shi! Xi!"

"I was just asking," Shi Xi quickly looked at Lilith and asked, "Do you have any recommendations?"

With a professional smile, wedding dress designer Lilith began recommending dresses to Shi Xi, "What color scheme would you like for your wedding dress?"

Shi Xi glanced at Sheng Yan, her tone suggesting a suggestion: "White... how about?"

Sheng Yan said calmly, "If you like it, that's fine. You don't need to care about my opinion."

Shi Xi: "After all, it was you who spent the money."

Sheng Yan: ...He'll be driven crazy by Shi Xi sooner or later.

What followed was even faster. Shi Xi didn't take the engagement banquet seriously at all; everything was about extravagance, the more flamboyant the better.

Lilith's smile gradually froze.

She felt that Shi Xi wasn't choosing a wedding dress.

They're playing a dress-up game.

After Sheng Yan drank two more cups of tea, Lilith finally ended her conversation with Shi Xi.

Lilith got up to say goodbye, preparing to go back to make her wedding dress.

Shi Xi followed the guests to see them off and noticed that Sheng Yan hadn't moved. "Aren't you going back?"

Sheng Yan sat motionless on the sofa. "I'm having lunch here."

Shi Xi: ? ? ?

"You've drunk so much tea, can you still eat anything? Don't you need to go to the bathroom?" Shi Xi looked at Sheng Yan's stomach and thought to herself, "He can drink so much, will he not only go bald in the future, but also have a beer belly?"

Sheng Yan told himself not to argue with Shi Xi, and took a deep breath, saying, "I have to go to the company this afternoon, so hurry up and have someone cook."

"What do you want to eat?" Shi Xi asked.

Sheng Yan: "I don't eat spicy food, and I don't eat duck or mutton."

Shi Xi sighed, "Oh no, I made roast duck and spicy mutton soup for lunch."

Sheng Yan: ?!

"Just kidding, the kitchen was already cooking, we can eat in ten more minutes." Shi Xipi was very happy.

Sheng Yan stood up, his eyes deep, staring at Shi Xi.

"What are you doing?" Shi Xi took two steps back, bracing herself against the male lead's pressure, and said, "I was just joking..."

Sheng Yan ignored Shi Xi and silently turned to walk towards the restroom.

Sheng Yan and Shi Xi were childhood sweethearts. Sheng Yan often visited the Shi family home when he was young and knew the layout of the house very well. However, he rarely came after he grew up.

Shi Xi saw Sheng Yan walk into the restroom and thought to herself that he must have drunk too much tea.
