Liu Xixi looked through the gap between the doors. Shen Mochen was sitting at his desk, busy dealing with the documents. His long fingers drummed on the table. It was unknown what he was thinking, but under the rays of the setting sun, the cold side of his face softened slightly.

Liu Xixi was stunned for a moment. Shen Mochen had a magical power that could make one's heartbeat quicken.

Noticing Liu Xixi's gaze, Shen Mochen's gaze met hers. In a split-second, everything seemed to have stopped moving. No one opened their eyes.

Liu Xixi's heart was beating faster and faster. She felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her throat. She coughed twice to hide her embarrassment. "The meal is ready. We can eat now."

Then, as if running away, he hurriedly left the study and ran back to the living room.

The housekeeper looked at the shy blush on Liu Xixi's face, and the smile on his face grew even wider. He knew that his combination would have some effect.

During dinner, Shen Mochen picked up a piece of Red Braised Meat, "You want to participate in the Jewelry Design Competition?"

Liu Xixi was stunned. "You're monitoring me?"

A cold laugh rang out, "Who do you think you are? Do I need to waste my manpower and resources to keep an eye on you? "

Liu Xixi was embarrassed. That was true. How could she have forgotten that he was the new school director? Maybe he just happened to hear about it.

"Yes, I have a bet with my classmate."

Shen Mochen raised his eyebrows as if he was interested in something. He looked at Liu Xixi and asked, "What bet?"

"In our class, there's a brainless fan of Qin Shiyu who challenged me. The loser would be willing to work for the opponent." Liu Xixiyun said with a light tone.

"Then I bet on her winning." He felt that going against Liu Xixi was a very interesting thing.

"Then you may be disappointed." Could it be that Qin Shiyu was already that important in Shen Mochen's heart? Even if it was just one of Qin Shiyu's little fans, did he have to protect her?

Liu Xixi suddenly lost her appetite. The food in her mouth was like chewing wax. She put down her chopsticks and walked up to the second floor.

The days passed by calmly. During this period, Shen Mochen seemed to have become a different person. Every night, he would go home to eat and sleep, and the next morning, he would go to work at the company.

She didn't want to cause trouble for Liu Xixi anymore. The two of them didn't have anything to do with each other, so she had been living quite comfortably for the past few days.

Every day in class, reading books, for the jewelry design competition to recharge, momentarily forget those troublesome things.

One day, when she just came out of the bathroom, before she could dry her hair, she received a call from her father, Liu Chengze, "Hello, dad …"

In her mind, her father rarely seemed to take the initiative to contact her.

"Cissy, how have you been? Why didn't you call Dad? " When Liu Chengze spoke, his stepmother Jiang Manwei, who was standing beside him, whispered something in her ear. She was complaining about Liu Xixi's words, and every word that she said reached Liu Xixi's ears.

Liu Xixi suppressed the bitterness in her heart and said, "Dad, I've been busy preparing for the tournament. I've been doing quite well. How about you guys?"

"Hello, we are the parents. Come home tomorrow. Your mother and I would like to have a meal with you.

"But, Mo Chen is too busy. He might not have the time …"

"Are you unwilling to even go home after getting married? If it wasn't because of your sister, how could you have such a good relationship? " Without waiting for Liu Chengze's reply, Jiang Manwei snatched the phone and yelled at Liu Xixi. Her tone was as sarcastic as ever.

"Mom …" "Don't say that..." Liu Xixi's face was unsightly. She knew that her stepmother had always disliked her, but her stepmother's attitude made her heart tremble.

"Don't say anymore, just come back for dinner tomorrow." Jiang Manwei hung up the phone after she finished speaking.

Early the next morning, Liu Xixi planned to shamelessly beg Shen Mochen to come back to the Liu Family for dinner, but was told that he had left already.

Liu Xixi heaved a sigh of relief. That's good too. At worst, she could just go home. After all, her dad wanted to see her. Bringing back this ice mountain face might make her unhappy.

Liu Xixi finally got to the end of the class. She stopped a taxi by the roadside and gave the address of the Liu Family.

The Liu Family's villa was located in another rich district of Ping City, which was a distance away from where Liu Xixi and Shen Mochen were currently living.

Liu Xixi watched the familiar scenery along the road. As the Liu Family got closer, she became more and more nervous. This was the first time she went home after marriage, right? Can't you go empty-handed?

Her stepmother Jiang Manwei had never warned her about these etiquette, and she didn't have any married friends by her side. Liu Xixi really didn't know a thing.

Fortunately, although she didn't have much experience, she had watched too many idols and foam dramas in her childhood. It seemed like she needed to buy something.

Thinking of this, she called the taxi driver to stop and bought some nutrition products at the supermarket. Then, she got on the taxi and went straight to the Liu Family.

"Sissy …" "You're back?" Seeing his daughter walk in through the door, Liu Chengze hurriedly took the gift from her. "Seriously, it's great that you guys came back to have dinner with your parents, why are you buying so many things?" What about Mo Chen? Did you stop the car? "

The smile lingered on his face, as if he were waiting for his daughter to come home.

"Dad, he's no longer at home when I woke up today, so I didn't tell him that I'm back." Liu Xixi said in embarrassment.

"You mean Mo Chen didn't come?" Liu Chengze's expression changed instantly. He threw all the nutrition in his hand onto the sofa in the living room and said in an unfriendly tone, "I told you to come back for dinner, but why are you here alone?"

The reason why he called Cissy and Shen Mochen over for dinner was because there was a problem with his company and he needed a large amount of funds to send over to Shen Mochen, this golden son of a bitch.

Before this, he had already called Shen Mochen a few times, but Shen Mochen did not give any face to his father-in-law and always refused with various reasons. He wanted to take advantage of this meal to get the Shen family's support in one go.

But now, what was the use of Liu Xixi coming back alone?

"Dad …" Liu Xixi didn't know what Liu Chengze was thinking. She didn't expect that her father would be so angry. Her father, who was happy about her arrival, instantly turned hostile and she didn't know how to react.

Hearing the conversation in the living room, Jiang Manwei ran out of the kitchen and pointed at Liu Xixi's nose, cursing, "I told you to call Mo Chen. Why did you come back by yourself?"

She knew Liu Chengze's intention in asking him to come back and have dinner. Now that she saw Liu Xixi come back alone, she naturally wouldn't let her off easily.

Until now, Liu Xixi finally understood why her father and stepmother called her home. Their main goal was Shen Mochen, and she was just a irrelevant subordinate.

"Dad …" I thought you wanted to see me so you called me back. " Liu Xixi spoke with a tone of uncertainty that even she could feel.
