Shi Xi instantly understood. “She thinks that 1 won’t fight with them for the family assets, so she’s relieved?”

“If you marry me, they will be even more at ease,” Xie Yunzhou said.

“…” Shi Xi had never experienced a fight between wealthy families for family assets, but she had heard a lot about it.

Wasn’t this a living example?

“Go back after dinner. I don’t want to stay here anymore.” Shi Xi felt that she had come here today to attend the banquet.

It was too difficult.

Fortunately, the Hua family had rules at the dining table. They did not talk while eating or sleeping.

The meal was considered peaceful.

And Hua Ruoling really didn’t come to the table.

When the seating arrangements were made, Shi Xi was seated next to Hua Wenyin.

Hua Wenyin looked at Shi Xi with a complicated expression. There was longing and apology in her eyes, but she could not say a word.

Shi Xi lowered her head and ate in peace.

After the meal, Eldest Aunt said thoughtfully, “Wenyin, take Xi Xi to her room and ask her if she likes it. If there’s anything missing, you can buy it in time.” “Alright.” Hua Wenyin looked at Shi Xi.

“No need.” Shi Xi stood up calmly, her smile showing that she could not be rejected. “I still have work to do in the afternoon, so I won’t disturb you.” “Didn’t you agree to come back?” Hua Wenyin asked in surprise.

“I have a job.”

“What kind of work do you have to do today?” First Aunt advised from the side, “Take a few days off and spend some time with your mother.”

Shi Xi smiled lightly and said, “I’ll come back when I’m on vacation.”

Hua Wenyin’s eyes were filled with disappointment. “I thought you were planning to stay here for a long time.”

“Xi Xi is very busy with work and often has to travel around,” explained Xie Yunzhou.”

Shi Xi did not say anything and looked elsewhere.

After leaving the Hua Manor, Shi Xi sat in the backseat of the car, still deep in thought.

“What are you thinking about?” Xie Yunzhou asked.

“Nothing, I just feel a little messy.” Shi Xi closed her eyes. “Let me rest for a while.”

Xie Yunzhou chuckled. “You don’t have any work in the afternoon?”

“No, I just don’t want to stay in the Hua family.” Shi Xi closed her eyes, her thick eyelashes casting a shadow under her eyes. “Let’s find a random place to walk around.”

The car drove for more than ten minutes before it stopped.

Shi Xi had not fallen asleep to begin with. When she sensed that the car had stopped, she opened her eyes and asked, “Where are we?”

“My residence in Yanjing.” Xie Yunzhou got out of the car first and opened the door for her. “I’ll come back occasionally for a few days.”

Shi Xi nodded.

Xie Yunzhou was a Yanjing man, so it wasn’t strange that he had a place here.

After entering the door, Shi Xi saw the empty living room in front of her and asked, “You live alone?”

“You will accompany me in the future.” Xie Yunzhou called Shi Xi back to the door of the room and said, “I’ll record your fingerprint.”

“You can just tell me the password.” As Shi Xi said that, she had already reached the door and reached out to take her fingerprint.

“The password will be changed once every three months, but the fingerprint will not.” Xie Yunzhou recorded her fingerprint and said, “I’ll take you to your room for a nap. After you sleep, we’ll think about other things.”

Seeing Xie Yunzhou bring her to a large bedroom, Shi Xi asked, “This isn’t a guest room, is it?”

“The guest room hasn’t been tidied up yet. You can stay in my room first. Auntie changed the sheets yesterday. I’m going to the study to deal with some emails,” Xie Yunzhou said.

Shi Xi was a little embarrassed.

She was occupying Xie Yunzhou’s room.

“I’ll take a nap then clean up the guest room in the afternoon,” Shi Xi promised..
