"Is there something else you wanted to talk to me about?" Shi Xi hesitated for a moment before finally asking.
She hasn't framed the female lead yet, so Xie Yunzhou wouldn't want to kill her, right?
She also saved Xie Yunzhou. Xie Yunzhou should at least be able to act like a human being, right?
"Yes." Xie Yunzhou nodded, took out his phone, and said, "Let's add each other on WeChat."
Shi Xi's breath hitched.
ah?
She took out her phone, about to add Xie Yunzhou on WeChat, when her phone rang.
The screen lights up; the caller ID reads: [Fiancé]
Xie Yunzhou didn't have the habit of peeking at other people's phone screens, but Shi Xi's phone screen was right in front of him, and he could see it with just a glance.
It's impossible to ignore.
Xie Yunzhou's aura instantly turned cold, and his eyes lowered, concealing the chill in them.
She already has a fiancé?
"Excuse me, I need to take this call first." Shi Xi answered the phone somewhat apologetically, "Hello?"
Her fiancé said coldly, "Come to the old house tomorrow; my parents want to meet you."
Shi Xi hesitated and said, "I have to go to the film set tomorrow."
Her fiancé was stunned for a moment. In the past, Shi Xi would never refuse when she heard that she was going to the Sheng family's old house.
"And the day after tomorrow?" her fiancé asked.
Shi Xi glanced at her schedule and said, "I have time the day after tomorrow, but I want to sleep in."
The girl's voice was soft and gentle; you could tell she really didn't want to go to the Sheng family's old house.
As Xie Yunzhou listened to the girl's phone call, he wondered if she and her fiancé were having relationship problems.
Who is Shi Xi's fiancé again?
Xie Yunzhou had never been interested in such gossip. He only listened to a few words about Shi Xi being a fake heiress because so many people were discussing it.
If I had known, I would have paid more attention.
While he was pondering, Shi Xi's phone call was coming to an end. "Okay, then I'll come over at ten o'clock the day after tomorrow. You don't need to pick me up; I'll go straight there. Okay, that's settled then."
After hanging up the phone, Xie Yunzhou asked casually, "You're already engaged?"
"Yes, it's an arranged marriage by my family." Shi Xi's mood instantly soured when she thought about her fiancé being the male lead.
How could she dare to compete with the female lead for the male lead?
Do you think you have too long a life?
Xie Yunzhou narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw Shi Xi's expression. "You and he had a fight?"
"No... never mind, let's not talk about him anymore." Shi Xi didn't want to recall the original owner's experience of being a simp. She added Xie Yunzhou on WeChat, her mood complicated. "You just wanted to treat me to dinner?"
"Thank you for saving me." Xie Yunzhou attributed everything to repaying a debt of gratitude and asked, "What do you want? Just say the word."
If this were ancient times, Shi Xi would want a get-out-of-jail-free card.
But there's no such thing now, so Shi Xi could only say, "I just saved you on a whim. You weren't seriously injured. Even if I hadn't saved you, you would have been fine."
After all, in the original story, the villain didn't lose any limbs.
"It's just a small favor for you," Xie Yunzhou smiled gently, deciding to repay the kindness slowly. "I'll take you home first."
Thinking of the female lead of the Shi family, Shi Xi felt a headache coming on.
Why can't we just get around the main characters in the story?
“I’m not going home,” Shi Xi said, getting up. “I’m going to a hotel.”
Xie Yunzhou, who was always aloof and indifferent to women, now showed a slight movement in his Adam's apple. "Are you sure?"
Is this fast-forwarding to the point where he's being asked to repay her with his body?
He's fine, but Shi Xi seems to have a fiancé. Isn't it inappropriate for them to do this?
Shi Xi nodded, "I'm staying at a hotel next to the film crew's place, so it'll be convenient for work to start tomorrow morning."
Xie Yunzhou: I was careless.
After dropping Shi Xi off at the hotel, Xie Yunzhou asked, "Who is Shi Xi's fiancé?"
The assistant had already found out all this and calmly said, "Miss Shi's fiancé is Sheng Yan from the Sheng family."
The parents of the two families were friends and had arranged their marriage before the two were even born.
Xie Yunzhou pondered, "So, the one actually engaged to Sheng Yan is the real heiress of the Shi family?"
"Yes." The assistant glanced at his boss's expression and said, "Miss Shi and Sheng Yan are childhood sweethearts. I heard that Miss Shi has always considered herself Sheng Yan's girlfriend."
The atmosphere inside the car instantly turned cold and somber.
