Sheng Yan's father is bald, so there's a high chance that Sheng Yan will go bald in the future.

Thinking of this, Shi Xi couldn't help but sigh.

The male lead is quite handsome, but he's bald.

Sheng Yan entered from outside and naturally saw Shi Xi.

But he didn't understand why Shi Xi looked at him with pity.

What is there to pity about him?

Sheng Yan's eyes showed displeasure. He didn't like Shi Xi to begin with, but both sets of parents were very supportive of the marriage.

Moreover, Shi Xi has always liked him and has always looked at him with adoring eyes.

Why has Shi Xi started acting strangely ever since we last met?

Tao Yuxuan tactfully walked away, saying, "You guys chat, I'll play by myself."

She has her own things to do!

Shi Xi slowly walked downstairs and said gently, "Why did you come so early?"

Sheng Yan put one hand in his pocket and held a box in the other. He tossed the box to Shi Xi and said reluctantly, "This is a gift from my mother."

The box formed a beautiful parabola in the air and was caught precisely by Shi Xi.

"My aunt gave this to me? What?" Shi Xi opened the box and saw the jade bracelet inside.

The jade bracelet is a vibrant green, and it is extremely elegant whether viewed from afar or up close.

Shi Xi gasped. If she hadn't caught it properly, the bracelet would have broken!

"This is too expensive." Shi Xi liked the bracelet, but she didn't want to accept the Sheng family's gift.

It felt like receiving betrothal gifts.

“Take it if I give it to you,” Sheng Yan said with a slightly unnatural expression. He explained in a low voice, “My mother was mistaken and bought a fake bracelet last time she wore it.”

"Isn't your family in the jewelry business? How could you have bought counterfeit goods?" Shi Xi asked, puzzled.

"So my mom felt very ashamed." Sheng Yan didn't dare to recall her mother's expression.

The Sheng family's Shengshi Jewelry business is extremely large.

As a result, Sheng's mother bought counterfeit goods.

Shi Xi accepted the hush money—no, she accepted the bracelet—and assured him, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this."

Sheng Yan nodded slightly, returning to his arrogant and domineering state.

The two didn't discuss marriage, and the atmosphere remained harmonious.

Just then, Ning Yu came in from outside.

Ning Yu has fair, cool-toned skin and delicate, aloof features. Her long, straight black hair makes her look very well-behaved. However, she rarely smiles, and her eyes seem to be filled with ice and snow, making people afraid to approach her.

"It's you?" Sheng Yan's eyes widened in surprise when he saw Ning Yu.

"You two know each other?" Shi Xi asked subconsciously.

After asking the question, Shi Xi realized she had been too talkative.

In the original storyline, Ning Yu and Sheng Yan had met before, but they would only officially meet at this banquet.

"I don't know you, I've only seen you before." Sheng Yan chuckled and introduced himself, "Hello, I'm Sheng Yan."

"Ning Yu." Ning Yu's voice was cold and indifferent. She didn't even glance at him before walking upstairs.

Sheng Yan seemed thoughtful. "She does have quite a personality."

Thinking of the twists and turns between the two in the plot, Shi Xi patted Sheng Yan on the shoulder and said, "Keep it up!"

You still have a long way to go to win back your wife!

Sheng Yan: ?

What kind of oil should I use?

Shi Xi is getting stranger and stranger.

can't read.

"By the way, there's something I need to discuss with you." Shi Xi was still standing on the steps, leaning close to his ear, wanting to speak to him softly.

"What is it?" Sheng Yan asked.

Just as Shi Xi was about to speak, another man walked into the living room.

The man, dressed in a sharp suit, with striking eyebrows and bright eyes, had a resolute gaze. But when he saw Shi Xi, his eyes softened. "Xi Xi has finally decided to come home."
