Mr. Satan, let's meet tonight!

Shang Xi was clearly stunned.

So, they all knew about what just happened?

So, what happened after she entered the office was nothing more than a fabricated charge?

Ah.

Suddenly, Shang Xi couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

She was practically screaming, "Hat-the-fuck!"

Yin Xiu still had some work matters to discuss, but upon noticing his husband's furrowed brow and the untouched lunch beside him, he wisely chose to leave the office.

The moment the door closed, Si Tingye let go of his hand, then picked up the gold-rimmed glasses from the glasses case next to him and put them on his nose.

The movements were as smooth as flowing water, so familiar that they were almost unbelievable.

His gaze had long since left Shang Xi, and he simply said indifferently, "Go have lunch first."

"But you..."

"go."

A single, cold word silenced Shang Xi; after all, it wasn't her who would go hungry in the end.

Hall had prepared lunch for two people.

Shangxi initially planned to eat only one serving, but later...

Perhaps because she had exhausted too much energy last night and hadn't eaten breakfast, she had unknowingly finished all the food in her lunchbox.

Looking at the empty lunchbox with only a few vegetable leaves left, Shang Xi's lips twitched slightly.

She pulled out a wet wipe to wipe her mouth, and just as she was hesitating about how to start speaking, she heard a man's deep, indifferent voice in her ear, "Zuo Ye's car is already waiting in the underground parking lot, there's nothing for you here."

This was one of the few sentences she had ever spoken to this man that exceeded ten words in all the time she had known him.

Shang Xi was powerless to investigate what his real purpose was in bringing her to the company today. After all, if he was unwilling to talk, she couldn't possibly pull a gun to his head and force him to answer.

The lunch delivery service was clearly just a pretext.

She just mentioned her mother; could it be related to this matter?

Or perhaps, Si Tingye still harbors some suspicions about her?

There were too many questions in her mind, but Shangxi didn't have time to think about them too much right now.

She suddenly adopted a lover's posture, blowing a kiss to the man staring at her from across the desk, her tone slightly ambiguous, "Mr. Si, I'll be waiting for you at the manor, okay? Bye~"

Si Tingye squinted as he watched the office door close, then pressed the intercom button on the phone beside him, "Come in, take the samples out for testing."

"Yes."

After taking the elevator to the underground parking lot, Shang Xi immediately spotted the understated yet luxurious Maybach.

The fake smile from before was gone from his face.

After getting into the car, she whispered to the person in the driver's seat, "Take me to the nearby pharmacy. Your husband forgot to use protection last night."

"..." Zuo Ye pursed his lips, but still started the car.

The two remained silent the entire way until the car stopped and Shang Xi opened the door to get out, at which point she spoke, "I'm going to shop in the mall for a while, about an hour. Are you going to wait for me here or go ahead?"

Looking at her coldly through the rearview mirror, Zuo Ye reminded her, "Miss Shang, I think it's clearly stated in the agreement that you have no free time this year. Do you think I would let you enter this shopping mall smoothly without your permission?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Xi's red lips curved slightly.

She slowly buttoned up her trench coat, replying with a forced smile, "Alright, then we don't need to go to the pharmacy anymore. I can just wait until I get pregnant and become your husband's official wife through my child, which will save me from getting in your way, Driver Zuo!"
