Upon hearing Shi Xi's words, Tao Yuxuan said sadly, "No, it would be better if it didn't work out!"
"Huh?" Shi Xi asked, puzzled, as she poured herself half a glass of wine.
Tao Yuxuan hesitated and struggled, but finally blurted out: "He likes men!"
Shi Xi had just taken a sip of wine when she immediately shoved it onto the floor.
She put the wine glass back on the table, pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth, and said with some doubt, "Really? You can't just say that. I heard before that he had an ex-girlfriend!"
Tao Yuxuan said confidently, "I saw with my own eyes that there was a photo of him with a man in his wallet!"
"Anyone carrying a wallet these days?" Shi Xi remarked, then added, "He used to be in the army, maybe he's some close comrade or friend."
Tao Yuxuan: "He confessed to me that he just likes his former comrades."
It's love.
Shi Xi was speechless.
“We’ve already agreed to a fake marriage. After the marriage, I’ll give birth to two children for the Jun family, and we won’t interfere with each other’s lives,” Tao Yuxuan revealed.
Shi Xi had a lot of complaints in her head, but she couldn't say them. She could only comfort her by saying, "It's okay. We'll each do our own thing. Just be careful not to catch any diseases."
Tao Yuxuan paused.
Unexpectedly, Shi Xi was concerned about hygiene and health issues.
Shi Xi noticed Tao Yuxuan's brooding expression and asked, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Tao Yuxuan opened her mouth, "You're right."
Seeing that Tao Yuxuan's expression was still not good, Shi Xi asked, "Or, is there any other way to avoid the arranged marriage? If you need money, I can borrow some from my brother."
“It’s not about the money.” Tao Yuxuan shook her head and said in a dejected tone, “Marrying into the Jun family is not bad either. At least no one will dare to bully me in the future.”
Shi Xi thought to herself, "No one has ever dared to bully you before."
You're so domineering and unreasonable, who would dare to mess with you?
"Let's go down and take a look." Tao Yuxuan stood up, preparing to go to the banquet.
Shi Xi helped her up and asked, "Do you want to sober up before going down?"
Tao Yuxuan waved her hand and said, "No need, I'm not drunk."
Shi Xi: "Then you should change your slippers."
Tao Yuxuan: ...
Shi Xi gave Tao Yuxuan some hangover tea before taking her downstairs.
Many people attended the banquet and wished Tao Yuxuan a happy birthday.
Tao Yuxuan responded listlessly, completely bored.
"Brother? You're here too?" Shi Xi's eyes crinkled when she saw Shi Xu at the banquet, then she looked behind him and asked, "Is Dad here?"
"Dad had something to do tonight, so he told me to come by myself." Shi Xu looked at Tao Yuxuan and lightly clinked their glasses together. "Happy birthday."
"Thank you." Tao Yuxuan drank it all in one gulp.
Shi Xu was slightly surprised, but couldn't stop him. "Don't drink so much."
When we clink glasses, it's just a small drink.
Only Tao Yuxuan was so honest; she downed it in one gulp.
Shi Xi whispered to Shi Xu, "It's nothing, she just wanted to drink today."
Tao Yuxuan put down her empty wine glass and said, "You guys chat, I'll go and greet the others."
Watching Tao Yuxuan's departing figure, Shi Xu frowned slightly. "What's wrong with her? She seems unhappy?"
Shi Xi thought to herself, "Of course! Who would be happy to marry a man who has another man in his heart?"
"Let's drink, let's drink." Shi Xi raised her glass and clinked it with Shi Xu's, trying to change the subject.
Shi Xu snatched Shi Xi's wine glass, replaced it with orange juice, and warned, "No drinking."
Shi Xi's inner monologue: "Such a nosy person! Are you my father?!"
Shi Xi replied obediently, "Mmm, I don't drink."
