Chapter 198: 198 chopsticks

"Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong..."

The urgent ringing of the doorbell came incessantly, like the knell of doom.

Even Shi Qianxi, as capricious as she was, realized the seriousness of the situation.

Though she felt no guilt, the scene before the eyes of others might give rise to wild speculation.

Besides, the person outside was her nominal fiancé.

Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you.

She certainly wasn’t the only one in the world who loathed betrayal.

Even if the other party was of good temper, faced with such a situation, he likely couldn’t tolerate it.

An explanation?

No sooner had the thought arisen than Shi Qianxi swiftly snuffed it out.

To say that the two of them had merely spent a peaceful night sleeping and nothing had happened?

Even if it were herself, she definitely wouldn’t believe such a ludicrous excuse.

At that moment, her phone rang again.

Obviously, her fiancé outside, seeing she didn’t answer the door for so long, called again.

Shi Qianxi didn’t bother with it and quickly regained her composure, saying to Jiang Chen, "It’s nothing, just go hide inside."

Jiang Chen looked hesitant.

Hiding was indeed a solution, but doing so, wouldn’t it be admitting guilt?

If he was discovered later, then he’d truly be unable to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"Don’t worry, I’ll handle it."

Shi Qianxi was quite composed.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong..."

The doorbell and phone rang out together.

There was no more time to delay.

Having no other choice, Jiang Chen hastily walked into the bedroom and hid in the bathroom.

Shi Qianxi wrapped her robe around herself and walked unhurriedly to the door, opening it.

"I called you so many times, why didn’t you answer?"

As expected.

Standing at the door was none other than the Crown Prince of Fu Li Group, the billionaire Sun Xiyu.

"I was sleeping."

Shi Qianxi threw out a casual response, then countered, "What are you doing here?"

Sun Xiyu frowned slightly, not annoyed that she had kept him waiting for so long, but because he felt that this witch’s attitude today was somewhat abnormal.

Before, she had always been very enthusiastic towards him, so why would she ask "What are you doing here?"

"Aunt Meng is returning to the country today, you haven’t forgotten, have you?"

Shi Qianxi’s eyes narrowed.

She finally realized why he had taken the unusual step of coming to see her.

Due to last night’s stimulating experience, she had almost forgotten about her mother’s return to the country today.

"How could I forget? Isn’t it not time yet?"

She kept a calm expression.

"I will go pick her up later, you go back."

As she spoke, she actually began to close the door.

Sun Xiyu put out a hand and stopped the door from closing, feeling more suspicious.

What was wrong with this witch today?

It seemed as though she really didn’t want to see him, as if she had turned into a different person.

"What are you doing?" Shi Qianxi showed displeasure.

"I want to go with you."

"There’s no need, I can go by myself."

Sun Xiyu of course was not volunteering, having always avoided his nominal fiancée if he could help it. Why would he ever take the initiative to come over?

However, this time he was under a strict order from his family.

No matter what, Shi Qianxi’s mother was his nominal future mother-in-law. Given the relationship, it was indeed necessary for him, as the younger generation, to pick her up from the airport; it was a matter of upbringing.

No matter the status of his relationship with Shi Qianxi, after all, their families were old acquaintances.

"I should go with you."

Reluctant and in a bad mood, Sun Xiyu now forcefully pushed the door open and walked in.

"You better hurry up, don’t make Aunt Meng wait for us."

Seeing that he had already entered the room, Shi Qianxi couldn’t possibly kick him out, so she closed the door.

"How did you know I was here?"

"Front desk."

Sun Xiyu, sparing with his words like gold, sat down on the sofa.

With his status, obtaining such information couldn’t be easier.

"Why would they reveal my check-in information? I’m going to complain about them!"

Shi Qianxi was indignant.

Sun Xiyu remained unmoved and urged, "Hurry up and change clothes."

Shi Qianxi knew that leaving sooner was better for her.

So, she didn’t dawdle and walked into the bedroom nonchalantly, with a "bang," she closed the door behind her.

She walked to the bathroom and knocked on the door.

"I’ll go out with him in a bit, wait for us to leave before you go."

There was no sound from inside.

Miss Shi not only felt no nervousness, but instead, she smirked at the tightly shut bathroom door, seemingly finding the situation very amusing.

In the past, her life was monotonous, dull, and tedious, but now it suddenly became colorful.

With her potential fiancé sitting outside and a man hidden in the bathroom, Miss Shi seemed to feel no psychological pressure and boldly changed clothes.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong..."

As Shi Qianxi emerged from changing, the doorbell rang again.

Sun Xiyu turned his head.

"It’s the breakfast I ordered."

Shi Qianxi walked over calmly and opened the door.

It was indeed the meal service staff.

"Come in."

The waiter pushed the cart inside and meticulously set up the exquisite meal.

"Please enjoy."

The door closed once again.

"You’re going to eat all this by yourself?"

Looking at the overly lavish meal on the table, Sun Xiyu frowned slightly.

"I like it, do you have to control what I eat too?"

Shi Qianxi was defiant.

Indeed.

With the Shi family’s wealth, even extravagant waste was her freedom, but the crux of the matter was...

"Why are there two sets of chopsticks?"

Following Sun Xiyu’s gaze, Shi Qianxi’s eyes also fell on the two pairs of ivory chopsticks neatly placed on the table.

Even with her disposition, her heartbeat couldn’t help but accelerate slightly.

"Are you deliberately looking for trouble with me? We aren’t even married yet, why do you have to control everything?! I like using two sets of chopsticks when I eat, is that not allowed?"

Shi Qianxi threw a temper tantrum.

"I’m not eating!"

She grabbed her phone and walked out without looking back.

Marriage?

Marrying a woman like you would ruin my entire life!

Sun Xiyu, who came from a wealthy family and never wasted food, glanced at the untouched meal and, although angry, dared not speak. Seeing the other party had already opened the door, he could only follow with suppressed frustration.

"Bang."

The two of them walked out of the suite, one after another.

The room quickly quieted down.

After several minutes, in the deserted room, there suddenly was a stir as the bathroom door opened. A figure tiptoed to the bedroom door, listening cautiously for a while. After confirming it was silent, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief before walking out.

Thank goodness that Sun heir was well-bred and wouldn’t randomly enter someone’s bedroom. Otherwise, an encounter in the bathroom of his potential fiancée’s room would have been something.

Jiang Chen, who had planned to quickly leave this place of trouble, suddenly noticed the untouched lavish breakfast on the table. After hesitating for a moment, he boldly sat down.

Wasting food is shameful.

With Shi Qianxi around, the two of them were definitely not coming back.
