Shi Xi's last bit of drowsiness vanished without a trace.
“Xiaoxiao, you...you came to my house today without telling me in advance. I didn’t even tell my parents you were coming.”
Di Chenxiao explained, "I didn't prepare a gift when I visited your home last time, so I wanted to bring you a mango mille-feuille and make up for it with the gift."
Shi Xi placed her phone beside the sink and started squeezing toothpaste with her free hand. "You're so shameless! This is someone else's home, how did it become yours?"
"Your home is my home."
Shi Xi took a sip of water, rinsed her mouth, then spat it out and started brushing her teeth. She said in a muffled voice, "Glib tongue."
"I've arrived. I'll wait until you're done before I go in!"
Shi Xi put down her toothbrush and spat out the foam in her mouth. "No need, come in now! It's cold outside. Di Wu should come in too, don't let him wait outside."
Di Chenxiao wanted to say that they were sitting in the car, which had heating, so they wouldn't be cold.
But since Xixi has already told them to go in now, he won't refuse.
"Okay. I'll go in first. Don't rush, take your time getting ready."
"Okay, see you later!"
See you later!
After hanging up the phone, Shi Xi quickly washed her face and changed her clothes.
She looked at the closet full of clothes, and her indecisiveness kicked in again.
She doesn't plan to go out today; she'll wear something nice that isn't bulky.
She chose a burgundy long dress, wore flesh-colored leggings that looked thin but were actually very thick, and pink fluffy slippers. She casually tied her hair into a bun, looking very cute.
Her skin is very fair, and she looks good in any color clothes. The burgundy long dress makes her look even fairer and more elegant. Of course, you have to ignore the slippers she's wearing.
Her fair and smooth face, free of makeup, and her bright, sparkling eyes radiated vitality.
Shi Xi heard Shi Yue's voice at the top of the stairs, "Master Chen, I am Shi Yue, a young lady from the Shi family. I have long admired your name, Master Chen. Meeting you today, I can confirm that your reputation is well-deserved."
She was talking to her parents in the living room when she unexpectedly saw Mr. Chen.
In the capital, very few people can even exchange a single word with Master Chen. Whether Master Chen pays attention to someone or not depends entirely on his mood.
Even so, no one dared to utter a single complaint.
If she could gain Master Chen's favor, wouldn't the small Shi family have to grovel before her?
"Mr. Chen, it's freezing outside, you must be very cold! Shall I warm your hands?"
Di Chenxiao took a step back, his face dark, and said, "Where did this mad dog come from, barking like that?"
After accepting the gift, Uncle Song smiled and said, "Master Chen, the master and Master Chen will be here soon. Miss hasn't gotten up yet. Should I go and wake her?"
When Di Chenxiao heard Shi Xi's name, his heart softened, and he said in a gentler tone, "No need to trouble yourself, Xi Xi is already up."
Dijiu placed the insulated box and mango mille-feuille together on the table not far away.
Di Chenxiao stood there expressionless, without sitting down.
Since Master Chen didn't sit, the others stood with him.
Uncle Song: "Master Chen, won't you... sit down?"
Di Jiu took out a clean, white square cloth from his pocket and spread it on the sofa that hadn't been stained by Shi Yue.
Di Chenxiao sat on the sofa, his eyes constantly glancing towards the stairwell, waiting for Shi Xi's arrival.
Shi Yue's face instantly turned extremely ugly. Why was Shi Xi so lucky? Why didn't she have wealthy parents or a loving brother?
She was determined to snatch Master Chen away from Shi Xi.
