Xi Wan sat at the table, waiting for Chen Tong to serve her rice. She and Su Xun started eating at the same time, but also tacitly remained silent.

Xi Wan was very serious when it came to eating, just like how she usually used to cram for her revision before exams.

When Su Xun first started eating, he was still frowning. However, as Xi Wan ate for a longer time, his expression became more and more relaxed and even the speed at which he picked up his chopsticks gradually increased.

Chen Tong was extremely relieved to see Su Xun like this.

She knew that Mr. Su’s mood would improve as long as he ate with Madam.

“Oh right, the Tang family’s old master’s birthday banquet is next week. Come with me.” Su Xun said coldly.

“Okay.” As Xi Wan spoke, she remembered what Xi Ze had told her and asked, “Did you receive an invitation to the school anniversary?”

“Yes.” Su Xun said.

“Xi Ze told me about this too. Will you be going?”

“You can go if you have time.” Su Xun did not say too much.

However, Xi Wan did not mind. She was still very excited. “Then does the invitation say that you can bring your family members along? If you have time

LO go, can you ormg me along witn yous

The cold expression on Su Xun’s face finally loosened a little.

It turned out that Xi Wan had asked him about this because she wanted to go to the school anniversary with him.

Hence, Su Xun only replied vaguely, “Okay.”

Xi Wan did not know what Su Xun was thinking. She simply wanted to go to the school anniversary. If Su Xun could go, she could go as his family member then.

However, it was fine if Su Xun really could not go. She could still go as a student’s parent.

After dinner, Su Xun prepared to go upstairs to wash up.

Xi Wan remembered the tie she bought for him and called out to him, “Wait, I have a gift for you.”

“A gift?” Su Xun paused for a moment and turned to look at Xi Wan.

This was the first time she had bought him a present.

Xi Wan took out the tie and handed it to Su Xun, saying, “Thank you for taking care of me for so long. Consider this tie as my gift to you.”

Su Xun did not take the tie for a long time. He did not know what kind of plan Xi Wan had in mind.

Xi Wan was a little anxious when she saw that he was refusing to accept the tie. She simply forced the tie into Su Xun’s arms and said, “You should accept it since I bought it for you. Don’t feel embarrassed.”

However, she used too much strength. Her fingernails touched the button Su Xun’s pajamas and a small rhinestone fell off.

“Ahh!” Xi Wan called out.

However, Su Xun thought that she had hurt her finger, so he grabbed her wrist and examined it carefully under the light.

Xi Wan did not expect Su Xun to do this. Her voice went hoarse for a moment and her face flushed red unnaturally.

[Oh my god, the antagonist is holding your hand!] The system shouted excitedly, as if it was a fan who was witnessing a public display of affection.

Only then did Xi Wan come back to her senses and retracted her hand in embarrassment. “It’s okay, my hand isn’t injured. It’s just that I had a manicure with rhinestones on a few days ago. It brushed against the button on your shirt and a rhinestone fell off.’

Only then did Su Xun carefully look at Xi Wan’s nails.

Actually, Xi Wan had this manicure done for a long time but Su Xun had never really looked at it carefully. Now that he took a closer look at it, Su Xun realized that the sky-blue manicure really matched Xi Wan’s aura..

Su Xun was silent for a long time before he said, “Sorry, I didn’t notice.”

“It’s okay. This matter has nothing to do with you. I was careless.” Xi Wan said as she ran upstairs, clutching her hands.

Su Xun looked at the tie carefully. It was dark blue. It was not the color that Su Xun liked. Moreover, it was not the style that Su Xun had always used.

Su Xun put the tie back into the box, closed it, and brought it back to the study room.

Xi Wan returned to her room and tried her best to calm herself down before taking a hot shower. After she took a shower, she lay down in bed.

[The antagonist didn’t ask you about the gold card. It seems that the two of you are progressing faster. You spent so much money, but he doesn’t care.] The system’s sweet guesses had even given Xi Wan and Su Xun a happy ending in its mind.

“Don’t think too much. Su Xun is so rich. He doesn’t care about the money I spent today.”

This was something Xi Wan had thought about when she was showering..
