At this time, the food was served.

Sheng Yan had no appetite and did not want to eat at all.

Shi Xi had a big appetite and could not eat a single bite.

The two of them stared blankly at the table of food.

The assistant who followed Shi Xi saw that the two of them did not eat, so she did not dare to move her chopsticks.

The private room was as quiet as a chicken.

Finally, Sheng Yan was hungry and began to eat.

..

The engagement party was delayed, and Shi Xi felt a weight lift off her heart.

However, the engagement was a matter between the two families. Shi Xi vaguely knew that the two families had always been cooperating in business, and they were looking forward to being closer to each other to give the cooperation between the two families a layer of insurance.

Forget it, let them think about this matter.

After returning to the hotel, Shi Xi called Shi Xu and recounted the conversation she had with Sheng Yan that night.

Shi Xu said, “If Sheng Yan agrees, it means that the Sheng family has agreed. I will communicate with the Sheng family about the engagement.”

“Brother,” Shi Xi asked, “Are you hiding something from me?”

Suddenly getting engaged, and then suddenly canceling the engagement party.

It was too repetitive.

Shi Xu’s heart skipped a beat. He thought that the deal with Xie Yunzhou had been found out by Shi Xi.

“Does Xi Xi want to marry Sheng Yan?”Shi Xu quickly calmed himself down and teased with a smile.

Shi Xi replied, “No.”

Shi Xu said slowly, “We want to marry into the Sheng family.”

“However, I want Xi Xi to be happy.”

“If the other party is someone that Xi Xi doesn’t like, then I’d rather give up on the marriage.”

Hearing Shi Xu’s words, Shi Xi heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she thought of something and carefully asked, “Will they allow Ning Yu to marry into the Sheng family?”

“You and Ning Yu are both my sisters. The Shi family didn’t sell their daughters.” Shi Xu smiled. “You seem to like Ning Yu very much?”

“Because she’s really good!” Shi Xi knew about Ning Yu’s vest, so she naturally knew that Ning Yu was protecting her. She said, “She even specially sent me hairy crabs!”

“The Ning family also sent us hairy crabs.” Shi Xu leaned back in his chair and said gently, “Oh, Xi Xi likes to eat hairy crabs?”

Shi Xi: “Brother, don’t you remember? I’m allergic to hairy crabs, so of course I can’t eat them! But the Ning family didn’t know that I’m allergic, so they sent me hairy crabs twice.”

Shi Xu smiled and said, “How long will the recording take this time? When will you go home? Mom and Dad miss you.”

“I’m not sure. I’m going to a party recently. Brother Han is in charge of my schedule, and it changes frequently.” Shi Xi looked at her own schedule, “If I have time, I’ll definitely go back to see you guys. Oh right, I’ve received my salary. I’ll bring you guys gifts when I get home next time!”

Shi Xu chuckled. “Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Shi Xu looked at the documents in front of him, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Not only did Sheng Yan notice the changes in Shi Xi, but Shi Xu also noticed the changes in Shi Xi, so he tried to sound her out.

He had even gone to do a paternity test.

The documents on the table were the paternity test reports of Shi Xi and the Ning family’s parents.

[Confirmed that they are not related by blood.]

Shi Xu leaned against the back of his chair. His eyes were lowered as he was deep in thought.

There was a knock on the door.

Shi Xu put the report into the drawer. “Please come in.”

Holding the milk in her hand, Mother Shi pushed the door open and came in. Seeing that Shi Xu was still working, she nagged, “I know that work is important, but you have to take care of your body too. Don’t stay up late.”

“Okay, thank you, Mom.” Shi Xu took the milk and said, “I’m already ready to rest. I just called Xi Xi, so I was delayed for a while.”

“Xi Xi called you? What did she say?” Mother Shi couldn’t help but say, “Each and every one of you is making me worry.”
