Shi Xi didn't know what Ryan had said to Bernita.
Anyway, Ryan took the necklace out, and the next day Bernita sent someone to return it.
It was still donated to a charity gala.
Shi Xi didn't understand the little romance between the two, so she stayed home, did her own thing, and kept to herself.

Busy until midnight, Xie Yunzhou opened the study door and brought Shi Xi a late-night snack.
"Oh, what brings you here?" Shi Xi asked, looking at the food cart Xie Yunzhou pushed over. "You've been transferred to the kitchen?"
Xie Yunzhou: ...
"I was transferred here to protect you." Xie Yunzhou asked, "Did something happen this afternoon?"
"It was just a small matter," Shi Xi briefly recounted what had happened that afternoon.
Xie Yunzhou: "Hua Ruoling? Is she in the palace?"
Shi Xi nodded, "Her case in China hasn't been closed yet, so she's probably here to avoid trouble."
Xie Yunzhou's eyes darkened slightly.
After finishing her late-night snack, Shi Xi noticed Xie Yunzhou's silence and asked, "What's wrong? Are you thinking of going to find Hua Ruoling?"
She still remembered that Hua Ruoling and Xie Yunzhou were acquaintances.
Both of them were from Yanjing, and Hua Xuan and Xie Yunzhou were friends.
"Why would I want to see her?" Xie Yunzhou said with a helpless smile, "I just want to get the news back to China so that Hua Ruoling can be repatriated and punished."
"Really?" Shi Xi drawled, her smiling eyes fixed on Xie Yunzhou.
"Jealous?" Xie Yunzhou took a napkin and wiped the girl's mouth with gentle eyes.
Shi Xi wiped her mouth with a tissue, blinked, and said, "No, why would I be jealous?"
"Hmm?" Xie Yunzhou stepped forward, narrowing his eyes dangerously. "Won't you be jealous?"
"No, don't come any closer, there are security cameras." Shi Xi stepped back and quickly glanced at the cameras in the room.
"It's covered, it won't be photographed." Xie Yunzhou didn't care and wanted to continue kissing.
Upon hearing this, the girl's eyes lit up, and she very proactively reached out and wrapped her arms around Xie Yunzhou's neck.
The long, passionate kiss was so sweet that the two didn't want to part.
"Why are you being so proactive today? Did you miss me?" Xie Yunzhou stroked the girl's back, unable to resist wanting to kiss her again.
"Hmm..." The girl's eyes sparkled slightly, her voice soft and sweet, "It feels like we're having an affair, it's quite exciting."
Xie Yunzhou: ...
What cheating?!
He is Shi Xi's real boyfriend!
Shi Xi continued, "This human skin mask you're wearing doesn't look like you at all; it looks like you're kissing someone else."
Xie Yunzhou was so angry his chest hurt: You're just going to make me so angry!
"We'll rescue you on the day of the charity gala." Xie Yunzhou pinched the girl's cheek, intending to pull it hard to teach her a lesson, but then he was afraid of hurting her, so he just pinched it lightly.
"But my leg isn't fully healed yet," Shi Xi asked. "Won't it hold me back?"
"A car will come to pick you up then." Xie Yunzhou withdrew his hand; he didn't want to see his wife become someone else's princess.
He felt like a green meadow had grown on his head, and the greenness made him panic.
Shi Xi sighed, "Okay."
Seeing Shi Xi's reluctant expression, Xie Yunzhou gritted his teeth, "Do you want to stay here and continue being a princess?"
The life of a superior being in the royal palace is definitely more comfortable than being a minor celebrity.
Shi Xi, in particular, has no connections in the entertainment industry and is often bullied.
"How could that be?" Shi Xi denied it instantly, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "I was just thinking that my leg wasn't fully healed yet, and I was worried that I would hold you back."
