Just then, the food was served.
Sheng Yan had no appetite and didn't want to eat at all.
Shi Xi had a big appetite, but couldn't eat a single bite.
The two stared blankly at the table of food.
Seeing that the two of them weren't eating, Shi Xi's assistant didn't dare to touch her chopsticks either.
The private room was as quiet as a chicken's nest.
Finally, Sheng Yan got hungry and started eating.
...
The engagement banquet was postponed, which relieved Shi Xi.
However, the marriage was a matter between the two families. Shi Xi vaguely knew that the two families had always had business cooperation and hoped to strengthen their ties through marriage, thus adding a layer of insurance to their cooperation.
Forget it, let them think about it.
Back at the hotel, Shi Xi called Shi Xu and recounted her conversation with Sheng Yan that evening.
Shi Xu said, "If Sheng Yan agrees, it's equivalent to the Sheng family agreeing. I will discuss the marriage with the Sheng family again."
"Brother," Shi Xi asked, "Is there something you're hiding from me?"
They got engaged suddenly, then the engagement party was canceled just as suddenly.
It's been too repetitive.
Shi Xu's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Shi Xi had found out about his deal with Xie Yunzhou.
"Does Xixi want to marry Sheng Yan?" Shi Xu quickly regained his composure and teased with a smile.
Shi Xi: "I don't want to."
The voice spoke slowly, "We want to form a marriage alliance with the Sheng family."
However, what I want most is for Xixi to be happy.
If the other party is someone Xixi doesn't like, then I'd rather give up the arranged marriage.
Hearing Shi Xu's words, Shi Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but then, as if remembering something, she cautiously asked, "Would that lead to Ning Yu's marriage alliance?"
"You and Ning Yu are both my sisters. The Shi family doesn't sell daughters." Shi Xu smiled and said, "You seem to really like Ning Yu?"
"Because she's really nice!" Shi Xi knew Ning Yu's pseudonym and naturally knew that Ning Yu was protecting her. She said, "She even specially sent me hairy crabs!"
"The Ning family also sent us some hairy crabs." Shi Xu leaned back in his chair, his voice gentle. "Hmm, Xi Xi likes to eat hairy crabs?"
Shi Xi: "Brother, don't you remember? I'm allergic to hairy crabs, so of course I can't eat them! But the Ning family didn't know I was allergic, so they sent me some twice."
Shi Xu smiled and said, "How long will this recording take? When are you going home? Your parents miss you."
"I'm not sure, I have to attend a party soon. Han Ge manages my schedule, it changes often." Shi Xi looked at her schedule and said, "If I have time, I'll definitely go back to see you guys. Oh, by the way, I got my salary, I'll bring you gifts next time I go home!"
Shixu chuckled softly, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Shi Xu looked at the documents in front of him, and the smile on his lips gradually faded.
Not only Sheng Yan noticed Shi Xi's change, but Shi Xu also noticed it, which is why he tried to probe her with words.
She even went so far as to get a paternity test done.
The document on the table is a paternity test report between Shi Xi and Ning's parents.
[Confirmed no blood relation]
Shi Xu leaned back in his chair, his eyes lowered, deep in thought.
A knock came at the door.
Shi Xu put the report in the drawer and said, "Please come in."
Shi's mother brought in the milk and pushed open the door. Seeing that he was still working, she nagged, "I know work is important, but you also need to take care of your health and not stay up late."
"Okay, thank you, Mom." Shi Xu took the milk and said, "I was about to rest, but I just called Xi Xi, so I was a little late."
"Xixi called you? What did she say?" Shi's mother couldn't help but say, "You all just can't give me a moment's peace."
