Chapter 715

Li Yuan looked at Shu Xia with a deep gaze, "Hello, thank you for your hard work."

"Is Sister Xia Xia tired and hungry? Let's go eat first; it just so happens to be dinner time now." Li Qianqian looked at the two of them, who were acting distant and polite, and was somewhat impatient for them to get to know each other.

The sister-in-law she had chosen herself—how could she look at her and not be pleased?

Although there was no shortage of flirtatious women around her brother, and these women could make her brother happy, it seemed her brother didn't want to marry any of them.

Being a bachelor for his whole life simply wouldn't do.

Other women couldn't keep her brother in check, but she inexplicably felt that Sister Xia Xia could.

Shu Xia glanced at the time; it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

"No need for now. I have other things to do tonight, so I'll be leaving first. Let's eat together another day."

Just then, a message from Qiao Muting popped up on WeChat.

【Where are you? I'll come pick you up when you're done.】

Shu Xia sent her location, 【No need for now, I'm quite far from home.】

Qiao Muting: 【At Li Yuan's place?】

Shu Xia: 【Mm.】

After replying to Qiao Muting, she looked up and saw Li Qianqian looking somewhat disappointed.

"Sister Xia Xia, you did me a huge favor. If I don't treat you to this meal, I won't be able to get over it," Li Qianqian said, acting spoiled.

Li Yuan also spoke up, "Miss Shu, please stay for dinner. After the meal, I will have the driver take you home."

"That's right, Sister Xia Xia. Just stay and have dinner with me. I usually eat by myself. It's rare for my brother to come home early today, and you've come to my house too. It's really rare for my house to be this lively," Li Qianqian continued, acting spoiled.

Shu Xia could not bear to refuse, "Alright."

——

Qiao Muting actually knew that Shu Xia had gone to Li Yuan's house.

But it was not because of Li Yuan, but because of Li Qianqian.

However, Li Qianqian was involved with Li Yuan.

This Li Yuan was different from others; he was too complicated.

"Does Li Yuan have a lot of things going on lately?" Qiao Muting asked Zhang Tezhu.

Zhang Tezhu shook his head: "Everything Li Yuan does is done in secret. He is certainly busy, but how did Li Yuan's sister get to know the Madam? The Madam probably isn't aware of Li Yuan's complexity. Should the Boss remind the Madam?"

"She has her reasons for doing what she does. No need for now." Qiao Muting did not want to interfere too much in what Shu Xia did.

With Shu Xia's intelligence, she would not be easily used by others.

Zhang Tezhu glanced at the time, "Should we go pick up the Madam?"

"Going to pick her up would be too deliberate. Return to Xinghai Villa."

"Alright."

——

The dinner was too sumptuous.

The long table was filled with both Chinese and Western dishes, all of them looking, smelling, and tasting delicious.

Li Yuan occasionally asked Shu Xia some questions, but they were all about authenticating antiques and did not involve personal privacy.

Getting along with him did not make one feel pressured.
