When Shixu returned, he saw several people slumped in the restaurant chairs, rubbing their stomachs.

When Shi's mother saw Shi return, she asked, "You're back. I'll get you a bowl of noodles."

"No need, I've already eaten out." Shi Xu walked towards the restaurant, and after steadying himself, said, "I have something to announce."

Everyone looked at him.

Timeline: "Tao Tao and I have already discussed it and decided to get married next month. You should choose an auspicious date and start preparing."

Even when Shi's father heard his proposal in the private room, he didn't react.

"You and Tao Tao are getting married?" Shi's mother asked in disbelief, "Really?"

"Really." Shi Xu nodded.

Shi Xi raised her hand and asked, "Didn't you two say before that you weren't attracted to each other?"

Last time, when the Shi family wanted to get Shi Xu engaged, Tao Yuxuan pretended to be pregnant to sabotage the engagement.

Shi Xu said without changing his expression, "From then on, our feelings for each other gradually warmed up."

"Then I'll meet with the Tao family tomorrow to discuss the wedding?" Shi's mother looked at Shi's father uncertainly.

This matter still needs to be decided by the father.

The father never expected that he would actually lose his son.

Moreover, he really didn't want to get involved in the Tao family's mess!

"Come to the study with me." Shi's father stood up, ready to have a good talk with Shi Xu.

The two talked for a long time, and in the end, Shi's father agreed to their marriage.

Shi Xi returned to her room and asked Tao Yuxuan what she thought.

Shi Xi: [Are you going to marry my brother?]

Tao Yuxuan: [Haha, yes, right?]

The message looked perfunctory and suspicious.

Shi Xi frowned and pressed further: "Is there something else going on?"

Tao Yuxuan quickly replied: 【No, no, I just didn't think of it... I'm going to sleep now, goodnight.】

She used sleep to avoid being questioned.

Shi Xi didn't quite understand.

Never mind, there are plenty of things she doesn't understand.

Seeing that it was getting late, Shi Xi also prepared to rest.

But just as she turned off the light and lay down, there was a knock on the door.

It is Ningyu.

"What does my sister want?" Shi Xi sat up from under the covers.

"When is your engagement party with Sheng Yan?" Ning Yu asked directly.

"Huh? That was canceled a long time ago!" Shi Xi tried desperately to explain, "My engagement with him is no longer valid! Not to mention any engagement banquet!"

Her relationship with Sheng Yan was completely innocent!

"Why doesn't it count anymore?" A hint of confusion appeared on Ning Yu's calm face.

"Because I don't like him." Shi Xi didn't expect Ning Yu to come over so late at night to ask about this, and she said frankly, "He doesn't like me, and I don't like him either."

The two families had considered a marriage alliance, but she went into the entertainment industry, and Sheng Yan had already taken control of Shengshi Group. So, the elders' ideas were useless.

Ning Yu's eyes held a thoughtful expression.

Shi Xi asked, guessing, "Did Sheng Yan say something to you?"

"It's nothing." Ning Yu had only come to confirm the engagement, and after receiving an answer, she turned and left. "Goodnight."

close the door.

Shi Xi paused in her gesture of reaching out to call out to Ning Yu.

She really wanted to gossip about Ning Yu's relationship status!

The official pairing is Sheng Yan, and there are countless other excellent male supporting characters, such as Jun Cheng.

Could it be that, without her knowledge, Sheng Yan has already hooked up with Ning Yu?

So that's why Ning Yu came to verify the marriage agreement?

Thinking this, Shi Xi found Sheng Yan's WeChat and wanted to ask him.

Shi Xi: [What did you and Ning Yu talk about?]

!

Your message has been sent, but it has been rejected by the recipient.

Shi Xi: ?

What did she do?

How did I get blocked?

Shi Xi scrolled through the messages and realized that they had previously discussed the cooperation and promotion of Shengshi Jewelry.

That's outrageous.
