Chapter 596: Shen Xi’s Gratitude

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After failing to talk to Murong Qiao, Shen Xi could only ask Ruan Ying for Murong Qiao’s contact information.

She was originally hoping to get lucky by asking Ruan Ying, but she didn’t expect the other party to be on good terms with Murong Qiao.

[As long as you’re fine.] Murong Qiao typed with one hand and took a bite of

the sandwich in her other hand.

She liked meat, so she didn’t like anything too vegetarian for breakfast.m There was a bit of meat in the sandwich which had been fried a little. She took a bite. It was fragrant and immediately made her have a lot of appetite.

Shen Xi hurriedly replied, [If not for you, I might have died.]

Her fingertips trembled nervously as she typed, but when she thought of how Murong Qiao had saved her, she mustered her courage and continued.

[I don’t know how to thank you, so I could only buy a very beautiful set of jewelry for you. It should be at your house already.] She sent a message.

Shen Xi made up for the regret of not being able to buy the bracelet yesterday

in another way.

She found the brand of the bracelet and placed an order for a limited-edition design to be sent to the Murong Residence.

After saying that, Shen Xi felt that it was inappropriate, so she added.

[The money for the jewelry is mine!]

Shen Xi knew that her explanation might be a little exaggerated, but she was indeed afraid that others would misunderstand.

“What’s Xiao Xi doing? Why is she secretly chatting with others behind our backs?”

Just as Shen Xi was waiting for Murong Qiao’s reply, someone suddenly came over and teased her.

Shen Xi’s expression turned cold almost instantly. Even the slowest person could tell that she didn’t like this person.

The person who suddenly appeared was called Xin Qingxue, but Shen Xi only felt that her name didn’t match the person, and she didn’t like her very much.

“Don’t address me that intimately. We’re not familiar with each other.” Shen Xi pursed her lips and avoided her approach.

The smile on Xin Qingxue’s face froze. “Alright, Miss Shen. If you say so.” When the surrounding people heard Shen Xi’s words, they couldn’t help but fall into an awkward silence. Fortunately, Xin Qingxue’s words, coupled with a teasing tone, saved the atmosphere that had almost collapsed.

After Xin Qingxue’s words, Shen Xi’s rejection and coldness seemed to have caused a rift between the two of them. She was no longer as cold as before.

Shen Xi ignored the other party and waited for Murong Qiao’s reply.

[I’ve always wanted to find a chance to thank you. Perhaps we can arrange to meet tomorrow… for afternoon tea?] Shen Xi sent an uncertain message.

In fact, she didn’t know what everyone usually did. She only heard that those socialites always said that they wanted to have afternoon tea and go shopping.

It was impossible for her to shop, but Shen Xi felt that there was no problem with eating and drinking tea.

Murong Qiao rejected in embarrassment. [I’m sorry, my schedule has been a

little full recently.]

After resting at home for a day, she was going back to continue filming Love Synthesis. The director had sent a message to Jiang Chi, saying that they were preparing to film the second episode.

[I see…] When Shen Xi saw Murong Qiao’s reply, the expression on her face was visibly disappointed.

She was not blaming Murong Qiao, but she felt that her suggestion was inappropriate and felt a little regretful.

[Let’s go together another day. Let Ruan Ying bring you along. We’ll gather when we’re free.] Murong Qiao was not very good at rejecting others.

Most importantly, when he thought of Shen Xi’s pitiful and disappointed appearance on the other end of the cell phone, Murong Qiao really couldn’t bear to see her like this.

Moreover, she, An Nuo, and Ruan Ying had not gathered together for a long time. It would be good to find an opportunity to play together later.

When Shen Xi saw this, she immediately became happy and replied, “Okay.” This emotion came and went quickly, making the people around her a little puzzled.

The two of them whispered to each other and guessed softly that the eldest daughter of the Shen family probably had someone she liked. She didn’t talk to them here and was actually laughing foolishly at her cell phone.

“I don’t think so. Who would like such a sickly person…”

“Look at her. Is she deceived by someone and coaxed?” “After all, this is the only eldest daughter of the Shen family. If anyone really wins her heart, it will definitely be a sure win!”

These voices were extremely soft, and no one let Shen Xi hear them. However, from the way they were whispering to each other, Shen Xi could guess that it was not something good.

Unfortunately, it was difficult for her not to stay here. Many people around her were hired by her mother, Su Rong.

Ever since she found out yesterday that her daughter had secretly run out to watch the commotion, Su Rong felt guilty and worried about Shen Xi’s emotions and physical condition. She simply found many young people her age today to accompany her in the small courtyard.

Shen Xi appreciated her mother’s kindness, but she was used to living in a small courtyard since she was young. Shen Xi was not used to crowds at all.

…If only Murong Qiao could come here.

Shen Xi suddenly had this thought.

Xin Qingxue observed Shen Xi’s expressions from the side, especially when she saw her happy and disappointed at the cell phone. She felt quite upset and felt that Shen Xi didn’t take her seriously at all.

She would rather chat with the cell phone than talk to her. She had even said those words in front of everyone just now.

Xin Qingxue suppressed the frustration in her heart and squeezed out a smile on her face before sitting slightly beside Shen Xi.

“Eldest Miss, you’re the main character today.” She tried her best to talk to Shen Xi.

Unfortunately, Shen Xi didn’t give Xin Qingxue any face. No matter how hard Xin Qingxue worked, she would at most say a few perfunctory words and had no intention of chatting with her.

At this moment, Shen Xi was not sad at all about being rejected. On the other hand, Murong Qiao frowned when she thought of what the other party had said about giving her accessories.

“Uncle Yang, did you receive anything today? For example, accessories.” Seeing Uncle Yang passing by, Murong Qiao called out to him softly.

Uncle Yang nodded. “There was a set of accessories sent over. You were sleeping at that time, so I put it away first and didn’t disturb you.” However, Uncle Yang didn’t know that Shen Xi had sent it over. He only thought that it was something a young master from the family had bought for the Young Miss.

After all, Murong Chen and Xian Yu often bought things for Murong Qiao. Although Second Young Master Murong Zheng and Third Young Master Murong Chuan didn’t buy much, they would think of Murong Qiao occasionally. Yan Xiu was even more thorough. Every time he released a new product or a new design, he would not forget Murong Qiao and send a copy back to the Murong Residence in her size.

“Leave it for now. That was given to me by someone else.” Murong Qiao held her forehead.

She sighed. Xian Yu had finally finished a round of games and looked up to stretch his muscles.

“I’m not playing anymore. I still have a competition tomorrow. I’ll go practice my driving first.” A familiar voice sounded from Xian Yu’s phone.

That bright silver hair and the other party’s unique flamboyance immediately appeared in her mind.

Xian Yu agreed readily. “Alright, alright, alright. How many championships have you won already? Why are you still working so hard?”

“By the way, help me greet Little Sister. We met in a hurry yesterday and I didn’t prepare her a welcome gift. I’ll make up for it another day.” After saying this, Tang Huai exited the game voice chat.

Seeing this, Xian Yu simply logged out of the game.

“How was your sleep last night? I think Big Brother was the one who carried you upstairs when you got home.” Xian Yu didn’t forget to care about his Little Sister.

Playing games was one thing, but his Little Sister was the most important..
