Chapter 396

Tao Yuxuan paused.

Shi Xi also saw Xu Ziqing and felt a little awkward.

What was it like to speak ill of someone behind their back, only to be bumped into in person.

Tao Yuxuan was indeed someone who had walked out of a storm. She continued without a change in expression, “When my father was rich a few years ago, he was surrounded by a bunch of women who wanted to hook up with a rich man!”

!!

Shi Xi did not know how much Xu Ziqing had heard, but she changed the topic and said, “I think this dress is not bad.”

..

Xu Ziqing was shopping when she heard the words ‘vain’ and ‘hook up with a rich man’. She looked over.

Hence, she saw Shi Xi.

Shi Xi was wearing a fisherman’s hat and a pair of black-rimmed spectacles. She was dressed casually and simply. If one did not look closely, one would not be able to recognize Shi Xi.

However, Xu Ziqing had just met Shi Xi and had lived together for many days. Hence, she was able to recognize her at a glance.

“Xi Xi? You’re here to buy clothes too!” Xu Ziqing was pleasantly surprised. She walked forward and praised, “Your taste is really good. The dress you chose is very beautiful. It will definitely suit you!”

Tao Yuxuan and Shi Xi were stunned.

“Is that so?” Shi Xi handed the dress to the shop assistant and said, “Wrap it up.”

Xu Ziqing pushed Tao Yuxuan away and stood beside Shi Xi. “You have a good figure and look good in anything. Let’s go for coffee later? It’s my treat.”

Tao Yuxuan, who was pushed away, came back to her senses.

She was trying to please her future sister-in-law!

“Sure, I’m tired from shopping. Big Brother Shi Xu is working nearby, I’ll get him to treat us to a cup of coffee.” Tao Yuxuan smiled maliciously.

Shi Xi’s eyes widened in surprise when she heard the term ‘Big Brother Shi Xu’.

She could not imagine that Tao Yuxuan would actually use such a clingy term.

“What’s your relationship with Shi Xu?” Xu Ziqing immediately became alert.

Tao Yuxuan pretended to be innocent. “It’s nothing. We’re just childhood friends who grew up together.”

This was nothing?!

Xu Ziqing was alarmed. She maintained a smile and said, “Hello, I’m Shi Xu’s fiancée, Xu Ziqing. How strange, I’ve never heard of you.”

Shi Xi coughed and told Tao Yuxuan to stop acting.

However, Tao Yuxuan smiled and said, “Big Brother Shi Xu has never mentioned you to me before.”

The two of them looked at each other and emitted a strong fighting spirit.

*

When Shi Xu arrived at the coffee shop, he saw three women sitting at a table.

He had a headache.

Three women for a show. These three women were not to be trifled with!

The seat reserved for him was also under attack.

Shi Xi, Tao Yuxuan.

Xu Ziqing, Shi Xu.

Shi Xu felt that he didn’t fit in with this place.

“Big Brother Shi Xu, you’re finally here. I ordered the ice americano style that you like, sugar-free and milk-free.” Tao Yuxuan began to act.

Shi Xu already wanted to run away.

He couldn’t drink coffee without milk or sugar at all!

“Thank you. I brought you the herb-soaked wood that you like.” Shi Xu put the paper bag on the table and smiled warmly.

Xu Ziqing noticed that the two of them were so familiar with each other and sensed a hint of danger, so she interrupted, “Brother Shi, why have you never mentioned Miss Tao to me?”

Shi Xi ate the herb-soaked puff and thought to herself, ‘This is really a fight between experts.’

“Our parents don’t agree, so we have always been dating in private.” Shi Xu thought of the script that Tao Yuxuan had given him and started to talk nonsense.

“You are dating?” Xu Ziqing clenched her cup.
