Oh my god, this is a bolt from the blue! A true heiress of metaphysics!

Chapter 236 Not to be taken entirely seriously

Shi Xiaxia stood there hesitantly, unwilling to sit down.

She is a guest and should not sit in the seat of honor.

With a slight smile, Shi Xiaxia gently declined, saying, "Our visit was so sudden, and we didn't prepare any gifts beforehand, which is already impolite. If we were to sit here any longer..."

Su Qing, with a broad smile, quickly replied, "It's alright, it's alright!"

As she spoke, she warmly invited Shi Xiaxia to sit down, and then solemnly said, "You are a great benefactor to our Su and Lu families, no one would say a word against you!"

At this moment, Shi Xiaxia saw Su Wusi's gaze and Lu Chuanbai also nodded at her, so she sat down without further hesitation.

Since this was just a family dinner, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed and not too formal.

So Su Qing simply said a few words, and then gestured for Su Wusi to cut the exquisite cake.

Then everyone was allowed to move around freely and chat at will.

Shi Xiaxia first chatted with Su Qing and the elders of the Lu and Su families, then stood up and went to find Lu Chuanbai.

An elder from the Lu family tried to pull Shi Xiaxia aside to say something, but Su Qing quickly stopped him and then gave the man a wink.

When the elders of the Lu family noticed this, they nodded knowingly.

"Miss Shi."

Lu Chuanbai saw Shi Xiaxia walking over and nodded slightly to her.

Shi Xiaxia then extended one of her hands: "Give me your wrist."

Lu Chuanbai looked at Shi Xiaxia's beautiful smiling face, paused slightly, and a look of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Then, while obediently extending his hand, he asked in his magnetic voice, "Is there something wrong with me?"

"no,"

Shi Xiaxia gently shook her head and said in a normal tone, "Didn't I already have a check-up and everything was fine? Why are you still in a wheelchair?"

"This one,"

Lu Chuanbai's lips curled up slightly as he explained unhurriedly, "The Lu family still has some troubles. Until they are completely resolved, it's better to maintain the current situation."

Shi Xiaxia nodded slightly. She reached out and placed her hand on Lu Chuanbai's wrist, carefully feeling his pulse.

After confirming that Lu Chuanbai's body was fine, they slowly released his wrist.

Then, Shi Xiaxia frowned slightly, as if she was considering something.

After a moment, she said, "President Lu, the situation in 'A Dream of Yellow Millet' shouldn't be taken too seriously. It's best to let things take their natural course."

Lu Chuanbai was slightly taken aback, his expression becoming somewhat unnatural.

Su Wusi was intentionally or unintentionally trying to bring them together, and the two of them were naturally aware of it.

However, Lu Chuanbai let Su Wusi behave as he pleased, clearly indicating that he had his own ideas.

Lu Chuanbai looked at Shi Xiaxia's serious expression, but before he could say anything, he heard another person's voice.

"Xiaxia!" Just then, Qiao Zihao walked over with a smile on his face and light steps.

"Uncle, Xiaxia!"

At this moment, Su Wusi walked over with a smile. There was some cream on her face, probably from playing with the children.

Shi Xiaxia took out a pack of tissues from her pocket and handed it to Su Wusi: "Wipe yourself."

Su Wusi took the tissue, a smile playing on her lips, revealing two shallow dimples. "Thank you!"

After spreading the cream, Su Wusi seemed to suddenly remember something, her eyes lit up, and she turned to Qiao Zihao and said, "By the way, Mr. Qiao, could you give me some autographs?"

Ever since your TV series became such a hit, all my friends have been clamoring for your autograph! I'll take the autograph home now; they'll be so jealous when they see it!

"of course can."

Qiao Zihao smiled politely and nodded.

As he spoke, he picked up a pen and signed his name on a piece of paper.

While signing, he looked up and glanced at Shi Xiaxia almost imperceptibly.

Their eyes met.

Shi Xiaxia withdrew her gaze and said softly, "Your status is different now than before. Let Sister Xie help you choose some scripts."

Qiao Zihao lowered his head and after a long while, he said in a low voice, "Sister Xie has taken leave recently."

Shi Xiaxia nodded slightly; she did indeed know about this.

"Oh right, I remember my second uncle was planning to invest in making a TV series,"

A mischievous glint flashed in Su Wusi's bright eyes, and she suddenly smiled and said, "I'll go ask my second uncle if he can get you a role."

With that, she put away Qiao Zihao's autograph and hurriedly walked out.

"Xiaxia, aren't you filming anymore?" Qiao Zihao asked, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes as he stared intently at Shi Xiaxia.

Shi Xiaxia shook her head slightly, her tone hesitant: "For now... we won't film it."

If I want to make another film, I'll probably have to wait for the original owner of this body to return.

After Shi Xiaxia finished speaking, the desolation in Qiao Zihao's eyes became even more obvious.

......

After the banquet, Shi Fanghai's already somewhat composed face was now beaming with a bright smile.

At this moment, Fu Xi's usually aloof face transformed into a gentle smile.

The two stood side by side, waving goodbye to the members of the Su and Lu families.

Afterwards, the four of them left in separate cars.
