"Let me show you my little ingot!" Yang Qing excitedly held up his phone to show Shen Ci, but Shen Ci nodded with little interest: "Yeah, cute."

Yang Xi could tell at a glance that he was being perfunctory, and pouted, "You scumbag... You weren't like that just now."

Wei Shuo pushed Yang Xi away: "Alright, alright, don't bother him anymore."

Shen Ci has been feeling listless ever since he accidentally saw Lu Xiao just now.

Maybe he was unhappy because he saw Sister Jia Xi and Lu Xiao sitting together.

Wei Shuo seemed to be thinking about something. It seemed that this idiot had come to his senses a little.

"What on earth were you doing just now?" Yang Xi was confused, not understanding why Shen Ci suddenly died: "Didn't you just go to the bathroom?"

Wei Shuo sneered: "Want to know? Come and ask daddy."

Yang Wei immediately responded with a sincere expression, as if she was crying: "Dad! Please tell me!"

Wei Shuo's eyes twitched: "...Brother, do you have any backbone?!"

Provoking someone like Yang Xi had no effect at all. Wei Shuo was unwilling to share Shen Ci's little secret with more people, so he said, "No matter what, I won't tell you!"

"Depend on!"

Yang Xi gritted his teeth and cursed Wei Shuo. Shen Ci lay between the two of them, covering his ears, his face speechless.

They can even fight over this, they are really two enemies.

Shen Ci's listless look was too worrying, and after a few words of quarrel, they no longer cared about each other and looked at Shen Ci helplessly.

Min Song saw that things had calmed down here, so he pushed a plate of strawberries over to Shen Ci at the right time.

This is Shen Ci's favorite fruit, but he is not in the mood to eat it now. He smiled at Min Song and said, "Thank you."

Min Song pursed his lips, and the words that he wanted to express concern and question rolled in his throat, but he swallowed them.

Forget it, she is not very good at speaking, it would be bad if she accidentally hurts Shen Ci's sore spot...

When Shen Ci closed his eyes, all he saw was Lu Xiao and Sister Jia Xi sitting together, looking so well-matched. He felt very uncomfortable.

But Shen Ci couldn't explain exactly why he felt so uncomfortable.

The cell phone rang at the right moment, interrupting his thoughts like a savior, and Shen Ci picked up the phone immediately.

"Xiao Ci, are you done there?" Lu Xiao's voice was a little drunk and hoarse, and his tone was flat.

It's my uncle...

Shen Ci pouted and said nothing.

Lu Xiao noticed that Shen Ci was in a bad mood and paused: "Xiao Ci?"

"What's wrong?"

Shen Ci said sullenly, "It's okay, I'll be down in a minute."

He hung up the phone immediately, feeling a little regretful.

Why can't I control my temper towards my uncle...

Shen Ci was even more unhappy because of his bad temper. When he found Lu Xiao's car in the underground parking lot, he tried to laugh but couldn't.

"Uncle." Shen Ci forced a smile and sat down next to Lu Xiao.

The car started, and for a moment, only the gentle piano music was flowing quietly in the car.

Lu Xiao reached out and took Shen Ci in his arms. He put his slender fingers around the back of his neck and pinched Shen Ci's earlobe. He said softly, "Why are you unhappy?"

As the two of them got closer, Shen Ci could smell a faint, unfamiliar scent coming from Lu Xiao.

This is a taste that does not belong to Lu Xiao.

Shen Ci felt a little sour in his heart and pursed his lips: "I saw you in the private room today."

Lu Xiao's fingers paused, and he suddenly understood something.

There was a hint of smile in his eyes: "And then?"

Shen Ci lowered his head like an ostrich: "Then, Sister Jia Xi is sitting next to you."

"You still remember her?" Lu Xiao was slightly surprised.

Shen Ci: "Yes, after all, she is so beautiful, gentle and generous... and she looks so good with you."

Lu Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "...a good match?"

Shen Ci was silent for a while before continuing: "She is still engaged to you. Is this your return to China for--"

"Then, do you want me to marry her?" Lu Xiao suddenly interrupted, moved closer and asked softly.

Is Lu Xiao admitting this in disguise? Shen Ci remained silent.

In his mind, the wedding scene of Lu Xiao that he had imagined under Qin Yun's guidance slowly emerged. Shen Ci was a little dazed. How could this day come so quickly?

Shen Ci lowered his head and didn't want to look at Lu Xiao, feeling a little disappointed.

He admitted that he didn't want Lu Xiao to get married, nor did he want Lu Xiao to be taken away by someone. But this idea was too selfish.

Shen Ci couldn't say it.

"My engagement to her is no longer valid."

Lu Xiao's slightly tipsy voice was clearly filled with a faint smile. Shen Cihun froze and looked up at Lu Xiao.

Invalid?

Lu Xiao touched the child's soft hair, and he couldn't suppress the upward curve of his lips.

Xiaoci, you were probably jealous just now.

If he exposed the kid's true intentions, he would probably get angry and embarrassed. Lu Xiao could only smile and hold the kid in his arms again.

"Well, take a rest first."

Shen Ci leaned on Lu Xiao in a daze, his mind was unusually clear, and he was still thinking about what Lu Xiao had just said.

The driver drove quietly, appearing calm but actually feeling turbulent inside.

He just took up the post this month and this was his first time meeting Shen Ci.

After Lu Xiao hung up the phone just now, the atmosphere in the car became noticeably tense and cold. He shivered several times while sitting next to the car heater.

A peek in the rearview mirror showed the CEO's thin lips tightly pursed, and he looked very unhappy. He thought it was Young Master Shen who had upset him.

But as soon as Shen Ci came over... Lu Xiao unexpectedly became gentle again, and asked in a soft and gentle voice about the reason, carefully putting away the heavy pressure and aura that he usually had when meeting clients and partners.

I've heard for a long time that Mr. Lu has a close relationship with Young Master Shen, but now seeing it with my own eyes... it's really a bit shocking.

Lu Xiao stayed directly at Shen's house that night. Shen Ci did not plan to take the luggage that he had previously left at the villa near the set, as he still had the secret of staying there at any time.

Seeing that Lu Xiao was very happy, Shen's mother pulled him aside to ask questions. Shen Ci pretended to lie aside and play with his mobile phone, but actually he tilted his ears and listened carefully.

"...Oh yeah, I remembered that the eldest daughter of the Hai family has returned home?"

Lu Xiao glanced at Shen Ci and smiled, "Yes. I have been cooperating with the Hai family recently, and Jia Xi was specially called back by Mr. Hai to assist me."

Mother Shen looked a little worried: "Is it to fight against Lu Shenghai and his group of old men? You better be careful. Back then, your parents... Oh, let's not talk about it."

Lu Xiao's lips twitched gently: "Don't worry, I won't be as kind as my father."

Shen Ci seemed to be thinking about something. It turned out that he and Sister Jia Xi were in a cooperative relationship?

Then it doesn't seem so strange that they appear together at a social gathering?

A huge weight lifted off his shoulders, and his original depression finally dissipated a lot. He relaxed and lay back on the recliner, browsing Weibo.

The first round of publicity and promotion for the recently completed campus drama "Neighbors Sunshine and You" has just begun.

Under the arrangement of the publicity team, related content of the drama will appear on the hot searches every few days. Sometimes it is stills and highlights, and sometimes it is eye-catching plot content.

But in reality... this blockbuster drama has been a hit for quite a while.

Who said that suddenly a lot of big names joined in for unknown reasons? In addition, the number of their fans was astonishing, so every time they were reported by Reuters, the popularity would increase.

And what was inexplicable was that Shen Ci was brought up every time and became the center of publicity.

I wonder what’s going on today... Shen Ci opened the trending search list and sure enough, he saw his name again.

#Raise funds to buy a new script for Miss Shen#

Shen Ci: “?”

When Shen Ci took one look at the most popular Weibo post, his hands began to tremble wildly.

He, he, he...his photos wearing women's clothing! And it's a nine-square grid!

Shen Ci was dressed up in a beautiful pink dress, holding hands with other cross-dressers. In the photo, the smile on Shen Ci's delicate face was forced and shy, and she looked like she was about to cry.

"This script is terrible... If anyone says Shen Ci is a lazy vase again, I will print out a photo of this script and put it on the dictionary to slap him in the face!"

"The expression on Xiaoci's face after she dressed up as a woman... is so miserable but I really want to laugh hahahaha!"

"Sheshe, thank you! I declare that from today on I am a fan of Xiaoci clay sculpture."

"How can I feel at ease if I don't lock up a daughter like this at home! No, why are Brother Shuo and Yang Shen acting like a sleazy man who deliberately dresses like a woman and approaches me?!"

"Did no one see the last picture? Who was tying the ribbon on the baby? Why were there only clapping hands and chins? This picture is so erotic!"

"You can tell at first glance that he's a handsome guy..."

"+1 for the handsome guy!"

“…”

Shen Ci couldn't bear to watch it anymore and locked the screen immediately.

As expected, the shame of his life was laughed at by his stupid fans again!

Even if he starves to death, dies outside, or jumps from here, he will never dress as a woman again!

***

Shen Ci had been digging his toes at home for several days and had nothing to do, so he thought about going to find Lu Xiao to play.

After all, we haven't seen each other for several days... But it would be strange to just leave without any reason. Shen Ci didn't have any reason.

Shen Ci squatted in the garden plucking flower petals for a long time, racking his brains before he could barely come up with an excuse to "urge Lu Xiao to eat well."

He immediately threw away the flowers and set off, repeating his purpose to himself several times in his mind.

Yes, eating on time is very important! It must be supervised by a responsible expert like him.

As a result, Shen Ci went to Yunxiao Building, and regretted it as soon as he stood by the elevator.

"Ms. Hai, this is the card that the president specially instructed to give you. You can swipe the card and take the president's special elevator over there." The polite voice of the receptionist came.

"Thank you." A gentle and cold female voice responded.

The sound of high heels stepping on the tiles approached quickly and rhythmically, and a gentle female voice sounded behind him with some surprise: "Hey? Is that Xiaoci?"

The elevator opened with a ding.

Shen Ci turned his head stiffly and forced a smile: "Sister Jia Xi..."

Hai Jiaxi looked very happy and a little overwhelmed. Finally, she reached out and touched Shen Ci's head: "You actually still remember me. It's been a long time since we last met!"

Shen Ci smiled helplessly at her. The two of them took the same elevator and entered Lu Xiao's office.

When Lu Xiao saw Hai Jiaxi, he nodded to her politely and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Please sit across from me."

Shen Ci came out from behind her. Lu Xiao was slightly startled: "Xiao Ci?"

Shen Ci very consciously ran to the sofa next to him and sat down: "I'm just here to have fun, I won't disturb your work!"

Lu Xiao smiled and waved to Shen Ci.

Shen Ci walked over and received another pat on the head. Lu Xiao couldn't hide the smile in his eyes: "I'll take you to eat delicious food at noon."

Sister Jia Xi is still here, what the hell is she taking him to eat... Shen Ci could only complain in his heart, but nodded obediently on the surface.

He made an appointment with Wei Shuo to play games, but he was distracted by listening to what Lu Xiao and Hai Jiaxi were doing.

"You little bastard, if you give me another head I'll take a taxi and kill you right away!"

Wei Shuo's angry voice came through the earphone. Shen Ci typed a reply absentmindedly, glancing at the two people working.

Hai Jiaxi sat opposite Lu Xiao, looking focused and serious. She quickly flipped through the documents in her hands and exchanged opinions with Lu Xiao from time to time.

Shen Ci recalled that she seemed to be a master's student at Harvard Law School, and her work ability must be very strong.

She is so outstanding, no wonder she can sit next to Lu Xiao... Compared with her, I am really nothing.

Shen Ci was in a depressed mood and lost all the games he played. Wei Shuo was so angry that he logged off directly.

Oh, what a little loser he is...he can't even win a game.

Suddenly, his head was touched a few times. Shen Ci looked up and saw Lu Xiao standing beside him.

"It's time for lunch." Lu Xiao said with a gentle expression.

Is it already lunch time? Shen Ci glanced at Hai Jiaxi subconsciously. She was packing her bag and seemed to be going to eat first.

The three of us are going to have lunch together...

Shen Ci felt sour in his heart again.
