Chapter 26

Since Sheng Yan’s father was bald, the chances of Sheng Yan becoming bald in the future were very high.

When she thought of this, Shi Xi could not help but sigh in her heart.

Such a good male lead was actually bald.

When Sheng Yan came in from outside, he naturally saw Shi Xi.

However, he did not understand why Shi Xi was looking at him with pity?

What was there for him to pity?

Sheng Yan’s eyes were filled with displeasure. He did not like Shi Xi to begin with, but both of his parents were extremely supportive of this marriage.

Moreover, Shi Xi had always liked him and had always looked at him with adoration.

Why had Shi Xi become so strange since the last time they met?

Tao Yuxuan walked away with great discernment. “You guys chat, I’ll play by myself.”

She still had her own things to do!

Shi Xi walked downstairs slowly and asked, “Why are you here so early?”

Sheng Yan put one hand in his pocket and took a box with the other. He threw the box at Shi Xi and said reluctantly, “This is a gift from my mother.”

The box formed a beautiful parabola in the air and Shi Xi caught it accurately.

“Auntie gave it to me? What is it?” Shi Xi opened the box and saw the jade bracelet inside.

The jade bracelet was verdant and looked extremely elegant from afar.

Shi Xi sucked in a breath of cold air. If she hadn’t caught it properly just now, the bracelet would have shattered!

“It’s too expensive.” Shi Xi quite liked the bracelet, but she didn’t want to accept a gift from the Sheng Family.

It felt like she was receiving a betrothal gift.

“Just take it.” Sheng Yan looked a little unnatural and explained in a low voice, “My mom wore that bracelet last time and bought a fake one by mistake.”

“Isn’t your family making jewelry? How could she buy a fake one?” Shi Xi didn’t understand.

“So, my mom felt very embarrassed.” Sheng Yan didn’t dare to recall Sheng Yan’s mother’s expression.

The Sheng Family’s Sheng Shi Jewelry was extremely huge.

In the end, his mother bought fake goods.

Shi Xi accepted the hush money. No, she accepted the bracelet and promised, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about this.”

Sheng Yan nodded slightly and returned to his arrogant state.

The two didn’t talk about the engagement, but the atmosphere was still very harmonious.

Just then, Ning Yu came in from outside.

Ning Yu’s skin was cold and white, her facial features were exquisite and cold, and she looked very obedient. However, she rarely smiled. Her eyes seemed to be soaked in ice and snow, making people afraid to approach her.

“It’s you?” Sheng Yan saw Ning Yu and his eyes were full of surprise.

“Do you know each other?” Shi Xi asked subconsciously.

After asking, Shi Xi found that she was talking too much.

In the original plot, Ning Yu and Sheng Yan had met before, but they would only officially meet at this banquet.

“We don’t know each other. We just met.” Sheng Yan chuckled and introduced himself. “Hello, I’m Sheng Yan.”

“Ning Yu.” Ning Yu’s voice was clear and cold. Without looking at him, she walked upstairs.

Sheng Yan was deep in thought. ‘She has quite a character.’

Shi Xi thought of the twists and turns between the two in the plot and patted Sheng Yan on the shoulder. “Refuel!”

You still have a long way to go in chasing your wife!

Sheng Yan: “?”

What kind of oil?

This Shi Xi was really getting more and more strange.

He couldn’t understand.

“Oh right, there’s something I need to discuss with you.” Shi Xi was still standing on the steps, leaning close to his ear, trying to whisper to him.

“What is it?” Sheng Yan asked.

Just as Shi Xi was about to say something, another man walked into the living room.

The man was dressed in a well-ironed suit. His brows were straight and his eyes were bright. His gaze was resolute. When he saw Shi Xi, his gaze softened. “Xi Xi is finally willing to come home.”
