Shi Xi looked at him pitifully and said, "How about I treat you to dinner?"

She rode in Di Chenxiao's car, so she should thank him.

"Can"

"You can come to me if you have any trouble in the future." Di Chenxiao held up a business card and was handing it to her.

"Okay, thank you, thank you so much." Shi Xi quickly took the business card and got out of the car.

The driver was stunned by Di Chenxiao's actions, looking completely bewildered. Everyone around their master suspected he might be attracted to men.

Moreover, there are fewer than ten of his personal business cards in the world that others possess. Now, his master has actually given his personal business card to Shi Xi. It seems he will be meeting Miss Shi again in the future.

Di Chenxiao's voice returned to its usual coldness as he made the call: "Investigate, Shi Xi."

The person on the other end of the phone replied, "Yes."

Shi Xi got out of the car with a smile and respectfully saw Di Chenxiao off before carefully examining the business card.

A black card, surrounded by small diamonds, with only a single phone number on it, presumably a private number.

Can she sell this business card? It should fetch a lot of money.

Alternatively, you could pry out the diamonds from the card and sell them. You could get a lot of money from that.

Forget it, she's got the desire but not the guts. What if Di Chenxiao finds out and comes after her?

As evening fell, the afterglow of the setting sun shone upon the earth.

She took a taxi back to the Shi residence, but she had no money or phone on her. She usually didn't carry cash, and she didn't know where she had lost her phone.

Shi Xi asked the driver to wait a while, and she went home to get the money and brought it to him.

The driver nodded in agreement; after all, the people living here were all wealthy and powerful, so why would they skimp on his money?

Shi Xi quickly handed the fare to the driver: "Thank you, driver."

The driver waved his hand and said, "It's alright, young lady. Don't forget to bring money next time you go out."

Then the taxi slowly drove away.

When Shi Xi entered the living room again, she saw a handsome man with a cold and aloof face sitting on the sofa.

The handsome man was dressed in a black suit with a blue tie. He sat upright, his hair neatly combed upwards, giving the impression of a successful person.

From Shi Xi's memories, she knew this was her older brother—Shi Hao, a brother who didn't smile much but doted on his younger sister. He was nine years older than her, twenty-six years old this year.

At that time, Shi Xi was born with a heart condition. In order to save her life, her family specially consulted a fortune teller.

The fortune teller said that she would be better off living in the countryside until she was almost eighteen years old to live a long and healthy life. So she lived in the countryside with her grandmother for nearly eighteen years.

In August of this year, her family brought her back to the capital as agreed.

"Big brother, why are you back so early today?" A sweet voice came from her mouth.

She knew her family loved her. Now that she had become Shi Xi in the book, she would love her family in Shi Xi's place and live a good life.

Shi Hao walked to Shi Xi's side, wanting to reach out and pat his sister's head, but ultimately did not raise his hand.

His expression was gentle, afraid of frightening his timid younger sister who hadn't been by his side since childhood. He said, "From now on, have the driver take you when you go out. Don't be afraid, you can come to me if anything happens."

"Do you have enough money? Here, take this card and buy whatever you want. Don't try to save money for your older brother."

He sighed and said, "Mom and Dad are out and haven't come back yet, and your second brother is abroad and hasn't come back either. It's just the two of us at home. Don't be afraid of me. I'm your older brother. I'll only protect you. How could I hurt you?"

I know you resent us, and I will make it up to you in the future.

He continued, "What would you like to eat? I'll cook tonight, and you can order, how about that?"

Shi Xi moved closer to Shi Hao, wrapped her arms around his, shook them, and said, "Big brother is cooking? I'm in for a treat! I won't be polite, I want Kung Pao Chicken, Mapo Tofu, Sauerkraut Fish, and Seaweed and Egg Soup. That's all."

She tilted her head and asked her older brother, "Isn't this a bit too much?"

Looking at his younger sister's adorable expression, Shi Hao smiled and said, "No, no, you go upstairs and rest for a bit. I'll call you when it's ready. Okay?"

"Uh-huh"

"Big brother, I'm going upstairs now, I'll come help you in a bit." After saying that, Shi Xi ran upstairs.

Shi Hao was a little dazed. His sister was hugging his arm. His sister seemed to have changed.

However, my sister has become bolder and is no longer afraid of him. That's wonderful!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh.

He should go make dinner; he couldn't let his sister go hungry. Luckily, they had all the ingredients at home, so they didn't need to go out to buy any.

Shi Xi looked around the room, which was all pink – the walls, the bed, the table, the chairs, the cabinets… everything in the room was pink. Her mother, Qin Momo, had chosen these colors, believing that little girls should like pink.

There is also a large walk-in closet, filled with the most popular styles for little girls at the moment, as well as clothes specially made for her by her mother and older brother, and clothes from various big brands, most of which have gone into her wardrobe.

This is just her summer clothes. It's clear that the Shi family truly cherishes her.

After taking a shower and changing her clothes, she stood in front of the huge full-length mirror and carefully examined her appearance.

She has willow-leaf eyebrows, long, curved eyelashes, bright, star-like eyes, a slightly upturned nose, cherry lips, a pointed chin, a slender face, and fair skin that looks as smooth as if you could touch it.

His facial features give him an overall impression of being sickly and easily bullied. He is about 160 centimeters tall, neither tall nor short.

The character Shi Xi in the book bears a striking resemblance to her real-life counterpart. In reality, she is healthy and does not possess the sickly appearance that Shi Xi in the book exudes.
