....

Ever since he accompanied his Little Sister to the Huo Family’s banquet, Yan Xiu felt that his days from then on had been tainted with the color of busyness. If he had to say it…
“My mother liked the clothes you custom-made last time very much,” Shen Xi said softly at the entrance of the design studio, but her gaze couldn’t help but land on him.
Yan Xiu held a pen and paper and recorded Shen Xi’s words seriously. In the end, the more he listened, the more he realized that the other party was distracted.
However, he couldn’t do anything about it. The only thing he could show was a helpless expression.
“Alright, I’ll remember these comments.” He nodded indifferently.
Yan Xiu no longer counted how many times Shen Xi had come to his design studio recently.
Ever since he sent her to the hospital on the night of the banquet, Shen Xi seemed to have suddenly awakened some stubbornness and followed behind him firmly.
Yan Xiu had something on his mind, so when he placed the brush in his hand he was in a daze for a moment. This scene happened to be seen by Xiao Gu, at’ the front desk.
To be able to see Yan Xiu make a mistake was a rare scene. Xiao Gu secretly edited the scene she had just seen and sent it to Shen Xi to share.
With the pretentiousness of the two of them in the design studio, Xiao Gu at least treated Shen Xi as one of her best friends.
[I saw that Boss fell into a daze a few times when he was drawing today. My intuition tells me that Young Miss Shen Xi definitely has a chance!]
Xiao Gu’s excited tone was transmitted to Shen Xi through the phone screen. Even if it was just a text exchange, it was enough for people to feel how teasing and sincere her words were.
Xiao Gu was speaking the truth. From her past experiences, at least Yan Xiu’s reaction to Shen Xi was different from others.
Therefore, when Shen Xi, who was staying at home, saw Xiao Gu say this, her heart felt as sweet as honey.
Just as she smiled, she was seen by Su Rong, who had walked in from the main door.
Seeing that it was her mother, Shen Xi immediately stood up and bowed to Su Rong.
“Are you chatting with Yan Xiu?” Su Rong asked bluntly as soon as she came over.
Unlike her mother’s calm att.i.tude when she mentioned Yan Xiu, when Shen Xi heard Su Rong mention Yan Xiu’s name, she nodded excitedly in her heart and shook her head to explain to her mother.
This time, when Shen Xi spoke, she was clearly much more confident. She said a lot of things to her mother that she didn’t dare to say in the past.
After hearing that her daughter was only talking verbally, after Shen Xi finished speaking, Su Rong’s face was filled with worry. How did I give birth to an obedient daughter like her.
“How can you be together just by chatting?” Su Rong was straightforward. “You definitely have to make the first move on a date.”
“A-A date-” Shen Xi couldn’t help but stutter when she repeated this word. Then, her face turned red and she looked at her phone eagerly.
Su Rong imparted her daughter the method of wooing people in all seriousness. “It’s said that there’s only a layer of gauze between a woman and a man. How would you know if you don’t try?”
“I think that boy is really not bad. If you like him, you should settle down early so that others won’t beat you to it.” She didn’t forget to warn her daughter in the end.
No matter which aspect it was, Su Rong was generally more satisfied with Yan Xiu. She sighed in her heart that her daughter’s taste was the same as hers, and she also helped Shen Xi come up with ideas.
Speaking of which, an auntie of yours sent me a few art exhibition vouchers two days ago for me to take a look. You can take this with you.”
Su Rong only looked at art in a superficial manner. She really knew nothing about these so-called abstract and modernist paintings.
Who asked her to value an extremely upright and serious soldier back then? Later on, she was in charge of all the minor things in the Shen family, so she didn’t have much contact with art.
However, this wouldn’t delay her from a.s.sisting her daughter.
After Su Rong started, she couldn’t help but say a few more words to her daughter. “It’s good to take the initiative. I think he’s a very meticulous person and is suitable to take care of you.”
“Mom…” Shen Xi said with a red face.
Su Rong knew that her daughter was thin-skinned, so she stopped when it was appropriate.
However, the two tickets for the art exhibition were still tightly held in Shen Xi’s hand. But when she went to Yan Xiu’s design studio the next day, she didn’t know what to say.
On a day that was no different from usual, Yan Xiu’s design room welcomed its regular customers during this period of time.
From time to time, Xiao Gu tidied up the shop. Most of the time, she pulled Shen Xi along to gossip.
“The day before yesterday, I saw another celebrity’s reputation collapse… I think it’s said that his personal image is completely different from what he shows in private. Moreover, he has a lot of especially overboard dark history.” As Xiao Gu spoke, she shook her head with emotion. Then, as if presenting a treasure, she took out her tablet and shared it with Shen Xi.
“Let me show you the celebrity I’ve been chasing recently. His acting skills are very good!”
On the tablet was a scene from a period drama. If Murong Qiao came, she would be able to recognize that the actor inside was Nan Jin.
However, Shen Xi’s thoughts had always been erratic, so her reaction to Xiao Gu’s words was calm. From time to time, she would look in the direction of Yan Xiu’s studio.
Xiao Gu clearly sensed this too. Then, she asked, “Young Miss Shen Xi, what do you think of this actor’s performance?”
Pretty good,” Shen Xi replied subconsciously.
However, Xiao Gu was helpless. “Your perfunctory att.i.tude is too obvious…”
When Shen Xi heard her say this, she diverted her attention to look at the screen and immediately smiled at Xiao Gu in embarra.s.sment, also feeling apologetic for her perfunctory att.i.tude just now.
“I say, why do I feel like you’re distracted today?” Xiao Gu leaned over and asked Shen Xi softly.
Shen Xi touched her face and felt confused by Xiao Gu’s words. “Huh?”
Was it that obvious?
Xiao Gu felt that this response was too obvious. She could practically read her reaction.
She sighed and pointed in the direction of the studio. “While I was talking to you just now, you looked in the direction of the studio at least 20 times.”
This was even when Xiao Gu didn’t count seriously. It could be seen how much
Shen Xi didn’t know how to hide her thoughts.
Fortunately, Yan Xiu had been staying in the studio. Otherwise, he would have felt that something was wrong after coming out a few times.
“A-Actually… there’s something,” Shen Xi said hesitantly. “I want to invite him to an art exhibition.”
Shen Xi took out two very beautiful and elegant tickets from her bag. The black and white tickets occupied a comer and had a golden foil texture. They looked indescribably beautiful.
Xiao Gu glanced at the tickets. Although she couldn’t recognize them, she still had good taste. She could tell at a glance that these tickets were definitely worth a lot.
Shen Xi bit her lip hesitantly. “But I don’t even know how to tell him-”
According to her understanding of Yan Xiu, he had almost no need for socializing, so how could he agree to her invitation?
“What’s the big deal? I’ll talk to the boss.” Xiao Gu patted his chest. “He’ll definitely like an art exhibition. It won’t hurt to try.”
As Xiao Gu spoke, she reached out and took the tickets from Shen Xi’s hand.
She walked towards the studio without looking back.
Hey—” Shen Xi couldn’t call out to her even if she wanted to..
