Mr. Satan, let's meet tonight!

Si Tingye glanced at her indifferently for a few seconds, then raised his hand and made a gesture.

Yin Xiu and the others left without saying a word.

The living room fell silent.

"Want to ask about Tang Yi?"

"……Yes."

Shang Xi didn't expect the man to guess the question she wanted to ask so quickly, so she stopped hesitating.

She was just worried that someone upstairs might suddenly come down, so she deliberately lowered her voice, "Mr. Si's medicine was prescribed by Miss Mu, and I think Dr. Tang is also very capable, so... why?"

Since the Mu family is a restless family, and he himself dislikes them very much, why does he repeatedly indulge the Mu siblings?

Could there be some other hidden story?

Shang Xi had some vague guesses in her heart, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

"Because only Mu Pianran in this world can cure my illness."

Si Tingye pushed up his glasses and said in a deep voice, "She is a medical elite that the old man has trained for ten years. Her expertise is like your skill in playing the violin. Tang Yi is the same, but only the old man knows the specifics of my physical abnormalities."

Shang Xi didn't quite catch what they were saying.

What do you mean that only Mu Pianran can cure the illness?

Only the old man knows what his physical abnormality means.

Is there some kind of illness that can't be detected in a hospital?

As if sensing her doubts, Si Tingye gazed at her calmly, "Shang Xi, you don't need to ask any more questions about this matter. My health is fine, and I'm not particularly dependent on Mu Pianran's medicine."

"Okay, as long as you're alright, that's all that matters." Shang Xi shrugged.

After all, this man was very important to her.

She's happy to do things for him as long as she doesn't cause any unnecessary trouble.

For example: chased away that... hypocritical fiancée upstairs.

"The old man knows you exist."

"Not surprisingly."

"He won't do anything to you for now, but things might change after tonight."

"What do you mean?"

Si Tingye leaned forward slightly, his gloved fingertips pinching her chin. "Tonight's party has just been cancelled."

"..."

"The Mu family invited me to a private party under the guise of a banquet, which is not surprising, as they wanted to discuss the engagement."

"..."

“Your presence has already thrown the Mu family into disarray. If you come with me tonight, they will inevitably exaggerate their grievances and complain to the old man, so…”

The conversation ends here.

Shang Xi was completely bewildered. Almost without thinking, the following words naturally came out: "So, tonight I will appear as your girlfriend. If Mr. Si believes our relationship, he will send someone to kill me?"

"clever."

"..."

Seeing her silence, Si Tingye's fingertips twitched slightly, rubbing together. "Are you scared?"

afraid?

What it is?

Shang Xi lowered her eyes slightly, chuckled twice, and shook her head. "Don't be afraid. I'm your contract lover. Mr. Si said he would keep me safe for at least this year, didn't he?"

"Yes."

"If that's the case, then what do I have to be afraid of?"

Whether it was her imagination or not, Shang Xi felt that after she finished speaking, the man's bright amber eyes seemed to have a hint of a smile.

It's fleeting, so fast that it's hard to notice.

The two were very close at the moment, and an ambiguous atmosphere was constantly flowing between them.
