I arranged a marriage for you, not made you invincible under a disguise.

Shen Tu Rong has had very poor empathy since childhood and never considers other people's feelings.

Even if it's a gift that your older brother carefully prepared for you, if you don't like it, you just don't like it.

Mr. Clark was the perfumer she had always admired.

But now, she has a new white moonlight.

Faced with Shen Tu Mo's puzzled look, Shen Tu Rong pursed her lips.

"Brother, I now prefer another master perfumer. If you could help me invite him here, that would be great."

"Who?"

"I don't know him either; he's my sister-in-law's friend."

"..."

Shen Tu Mo had previously suspected that Shen Tu Rong hadn't heard the name "Clark" clearly, but now he felt that there was something wrong with his ears.

"Shen Sixi?"

“Yes.” Shen Tu Rong nodded, looking at Shen Tu Mo expectantly.

"Big brother, this is my biggest birthday wish."

"……it is good."

Although Shen Tu Mo didn't care about his wife whom he had married into the family through an arranged marriage, he doted on his younger siblings and always granted their requests.

He immediately called Shen Sixi.

The other party didn't answer; there was only a busy signal.

Shen Tu Mo's expression darkened.

He contacted the head of security at his home and soon learned that Shen Sixi was in the square outside the banquet hall.

"Madam may have wanted to attend Miss Rong's birthday party, but without an invitation, she can only attend from outside—"

Before the security chief could finish speaking, Shen Tu Mo hung up the phone with a cold face and strode out.

-

outside.

Shen Sixi had just turned off all notifications on her phone when the world finally became quiet.

Unfortunately, it was still quite noisy around my ears.

Shen Siyan pleaded earnestly, "Sister, please don't waste any more time. I know you're afraid Shen Tu Mo won't like you, will give you the cold shoulder at the banquet, and will be laughed at by everyone?"

"It's okay, listen to me, he—"

"Shen Sixi." A clear and pleasant male voice rang out.

The two turned their heads and saw Shen Tu Mo standing not far away.

Dress, low boots, dignified and aloof.

Shen Siyan couldn't help but be moved by one look from him.

Such a perfect man, it's a pity he's not the male lead.

Shen Tu Mo didn't even glance at Shen Si Yan; his gaze was fixed on Shen Sixi.

"Follow me in."

"..." Shen Sixi stood frozen in place.

Why do they all want her to go to the banquet hall?

She just wants to rest and doesn't want to work, thank you.

Seeing that Shen Sixi did not move, Shen Tu Mo's eyes darkened.

"What? Didn't you really want to go in?"

"Actually, no..." Shen Sixi didn't know what had caused him to misunderstand.

But clearly, in Shen Tu Mo's eyes, her denial was just stubbornness.

He led Shen Sixi into the grand banquet hall without leaving any room for argument.

Behind the two, Shen Siyan looked like she had seen a ghost.

Shen Tu Mo actually... invited Shen Sixi to the banquet?

Shen Siyan swallowed hard and quickly followed him inside.

-

In the grand banquet hall.

Shen Tu Mo's appearance drew almost everyone's attention back to him.

This youngest head of a wealthy family has used ruthless methods that have made him a figure no one dares to underestimate.

Moreover, he controls the economic lifeline; a single idea can cause a batch of industries to rise and another batch to fall, making him a constant focus of attention.

What's different today is that there's a woman by his side.

An excessively beautiful woman.

Even in a simple dress and without makeup, she can outshine any woman at a banquet who is dressed up in a formal gown.

Shen Tu Mo didn't introduce her to everyone, but instead asked her to sit down, and the two started talking.

The others lowered their voices and whispered amongst themselves.

"I've never seen Shen Tu Mo bring any female companions to banquets before?"

"She wasn't planning on attending the banquet, it's like he dragged her here halfway through."

"Shh, I know her. She's the eldest daughter of the Shen family, and Shen Tu Mo's arranged marriage wife!"

"So it was her. I thought she was just average-looking. I didn't expect her to be so stunning."

"Shen Tu Mo got married, such a big event, but he didn't even have a wedding ceremony. I guess he was prepared to get a divorce from the beginning."

"Marriages are all about mutual exploitation; these days, there's no such thing as genuine affection."

"..."

Shen Sixi is already here.

He remained calm and composed, picking up the snacks on the table and eating them.

The guests come here to network, and no one eats the food prepared by these Michelin three-star chefs, which is a real shame.

Shen Tu Mo fell silent again.

This woman is quite strange; sometimes she's very thick-skinned, and other times she's very stubborn.

However, he had no interest in finding out what kind of person Shen Sixi really was.

He had absolutely no interest in Shen Sixi, from top to bottom.

Not wanting to waste time with her, Shen Tu Mo said directly:

"I heard that you have a friend who is a master perfumer. I would like to ask him to be Xiao Rong's personal perfumer."

"Let him name his conditions."

"Of course, if you can make this happen, I can grant you one request."

In Shen Tu Mo's eyes, everything can be measured by interests and can be negotiated and traded.

Just like his marriage with Shen Sixi.

After Shen Sixi finished eating all the braised chestnuts, roast goose, and shredded pastries on her plate, she wiped her hands and said:

"Okay, no problem."

"My request is that you come with me to the Shen family home tomorrow for my homecoming visit." Shen Sixi seized the opportunity.

He delivered it to his door himself.

Shen Sixi smiled slightly: "In exchange, I will persuade my friend."

“…Okay.” Shen Tu Mo stood up after reaching an agreement.

His departing figure was cold and decisive, without even turning his head back.

This, in everyone's eyes, further confirmed the rumors that Shen Sixi and he had no emotional foundation.

The two of them spoke coldly, as if they were discussing business.

They don't even bother to put on an act in public.

Who knows how cold and distant they'll become in private?

In the world of the wealthy, there is no shortage of people who fawn over the powerful and belittle the weak.

Seeing that Shen Sixi was alone, someone walked over, and the gossip happened to reach Shen Sixi's ears.

"She's supposed to be the daughter of the Shen family, why is she always eating? I wonder what tricks she used to marry into the Shen Tu family."

The last part of that statement sounded a bit sour.

Shen Sixi was a little annoyed.

She knew that, according to the world's plot, many women liked Shen Tu Mo, some good and some bad.

But none of this has anything to do with her retiring and enjoying her retirement.

Unless you dance right in front of her.

Shen Sixi lifted her eyelids and said, "You even care what I eat, and you even care how I married into this family. You're so nosy. Do you have to taste the manure if it drives past you? Well then, I'll lend you a spoon."

"You—" The other person was furious, knocking the spoon out of Shen Sixi's hand, and said angrily, "How can you be like this?"

"What's wrong with me?" Shen Sixi smoothed her hair. "Everyone says I'm great. If you think there's something wrong with me, then it must be your problem."

Shen Sixi confidently shifted the blame, making the person opposite her so angry that their face turned red.

After holding it in for a long time, he could only say, with a fierce but weak voice, "Apologize to me right now!"

"Apologize?" Shen Sixi thought back in surprise. "Did I say something wrong just now?"

The other person's expression softened slightly, realizing that Shen Sixi was afraid, and was about to speak.

Shen Sixi spoke first, "If anything I said made you uncomfortable, tell me and I'll say it again."

"You, you just wait!"

"It's okay, I've had a rabies vaccine, I'm not afraid, I'm waiting, come on if you want to go crazy."

Shen Sixi leaned back leisurely in her chair, watching the other person with a relaxed air.

The other person turned red in the face and stormed off in anger.

She is indeed a rich girl, raised in a greenhouse.

No one can compare to Shen Sixi's fighting prowess, which comes from her experience of causing trouble and making a scene in the streets.

Shen Sixi smiled and turned to get more food.

She turned around and found that Shen Tu Mo had returned and was standing right behind her.

He looked at her with a complicated expression, which once again changed his perception of her.
