Shi Xi was puzzled.
Why did Ryan give her this necklace?
Shouldn’t he take it back to coax his beloved sister?
The guard outside the room reported, “Princess Consort, Miss Kasse requests an audience.”
“Bonita? Why is she here?” Shi Xi frowned slightly.
Speak of the devil.
She was just thinking about his beloved sister when she came over.
“Invite her in.” Shi Xi said to the maid, “Put that necklace away.”
After all, it was Bonita’s necklace.
It wouldn’t be good if Bonita saw it again.
“Yes.” The maid closed the necklace box and put it aside.
After a while, Bonita came in from outside the door and saw Shi Xi in her wedding dress. Her eyes were filled with envy. “It’s so beautiful!”
“Thank you.” Shi Xi smiled lightly.
Bonita bit her lower lip. “Brother Ryan explained to me. You didn’t do that.”
Shi Xi realized that Bonita was talking about what happened at the banquet.
“It’s all in the past. Let’s not talk about it. It’s good that you’re fine.” Shi Xi did not take it to heart.
“Yes.” Bonita sized Shi Xi up and said with a smile, “1 thought you were about the same height as me. I didn’t expect you to be a little taller than me.”
Shi Xi was 168 centimeters tall. Wearing high heels, she looked even more slender.
“Your height is just right.” Shi Xi thought to herself, ‘You don’t know how hard it is to find a male lead with this height in the entertainment industry.’
There were too many men in the entertainment industry who weren’t tall.
Seeing that Shi Xi’s neck was still empty, Bonita volunteered, “Let me help you pick out some jewelry. I know a lot about jewelry.”
“Sure, I was just thinking about which one to choose.” Shi Xi’s eyebrows were in a dilemma. “I like this set of pigeon blood, but I’ve worn it at the banquet before. The diamonds were too plain and the pink diamonds were too plain.”
“Yes… The wedding dress is pure white, so it should be matched with a dark gemstone necklace.” Bonita’s gaze swept across the jewelry on the table and said, “As expected, red is the best match.”
“But 1 wore it once at the banquet before.” Shi Xi sighed softly. “If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have worn it.”
“A white gown with a black gemstone is not bad either,” Bonita said with a smile. “Hmm, for the wedding, maybe we can choose blue? Do you have a blue gemstone necklace?”
The maid lowered her head and remained silent.
Meanwhile, Bonita had already stepped forward and opened the only closed box.
Seeing the blue gemstone necklace inside, Bonita’s smile froze.
Shi Xi did not manage stop her, and hurriedly said, “How about a pink diamond necklace?”
Bonita closed the box and forced a smile. “The lights are so bright that even pink diamonds can shine.”
“Pink diamond it is then.” Shi Xi gave the maid a look. “Go and prepare some food to entertain Miss Kasse.”
The maid bowed and left. “Yes.”
Shi Xi looked at her and comforted her, “This necklace is only temporarily with me.”
Bonita forced a smile. “It doesn’t matter. This was bought by the First Prince for the Princess Consort, so it belongs to the Princess Consort.”
Shi Xi pursed her lips.
His beloved sister no longer addressed him as ‘Brother Ryan’ but directly addressed him as the First Prince!
It seemed like the wedding had dealt a huge blow to Bonita.
Thinking about it, it made sense. This was marriage.
She really did not know what Ryan was thinking.
Shi Xi put on the pink diamond necklace and stood in front of the mirror.
The maid served some tea and desserts and placed them on the table.
“I want a glass of milk,” Bonita said in embarrassment.
The maid lowered her head. “I’ll go get it now.”
Bonita watched as the maid left. Shi Xi’s back was facing her as she took out a small paper bag from her sleeve.
She quickly opened the paper bag and poured the powder into the teacup..
