Chapter 285 : A Rose Wedding 11 (2/2)

She didn’t come back in, leaving Xi Yin to stare into space for a long while.

There was bewilderment in his eyes. His reaction just now…was completely unlike him.

Xi Yin just sat there like that till daybreak. Sunlight streamed into the room, brightly illuminating everything.

The door was opened.

Xi Yin appeared to have been startled awake from that state…and then remembered he was completely naked. He pulled the blanket up to cover everything below the neck and glared somewhat angrily at the person who just entered.

“As if there is anywhere I haven’t seen before. Do you have to?” Shi Sheng gave him an impolite eyeroll upon noticing Xi Yin’s actions.

Last night, she’d stripped him bare. What hadn’t she seen?

Xi Yin pursed his lips as he stared at Shi Sheng without making a peep.

“Want me to help you get dressed?” Shi Sheng waved the clothes she was holding as she smiled slyly.

“No need. Get out.” ‘This shameless woman!’

“I say—”

“Get out.” Xi Yin’s voice sounded very self-conscious. If you looked closely, you’d be able to observe that the tips of his ears were red.

Shi Sheng shrugged innocently. “Okay then.”

‘Really now. You’re a grown ass man yet you’re still self-conscious? But it’s so cute! Aaaah! My(bbb) maiden’s heart is exploding!’

Once Shi Sheng had left, Xi Yin inspected the clothing Shi Sheng had placed on the edge of the bed. He was stunned for a moment. ‘These clothes…are the ones I wrote down for her last time. Didn’t she refuse to buy them for me? This double-faced woman!’

When he saw the underwear at the very bottom, Xi Yin’s face turned completely red. Once he’d gotten dressed, he dawdled for a little longer before heading downstairs.

The moment he did so, he found many people entering and exiting as they moved things into the house. The items were all sealed tight. But from the labelling, it wasn’t hard to guess what was inside.

Xi Yin held onto the banister as he watched the people busying themselves downstairs, feeling a bit complicated. ‘Is she really planning on keeping me?’

“What’re you still standing here for? Why don’t you go down to have a look? See if you like it. Funds are currently rather low, though, so changing the furniture in the bedrooms will have to wait till I’ve gotten some more money.” Shi Sheng had appeared behind him at some point and spoke with a clear voice. Her tone was natural, as if she had spoken these words countless times.

“Are you this good to all men?” A hint of an icy smile suddenly crept onto Xi Yin’s face.

“Only to you.” ‘Too lazy to bother about others.’

Xi Yin’s heart missed a beat. He let go of the banister and descended the steps, not giving Shi Sheng any reply.

The people downstairs had already started opening up the packages, revealing a brand-new set of handmade furniture. It would have taken a week at the very least, for all this furniture to be prepared—even if she had added extra money to speed up the process.

‘She’d already had these ordered back then…’

The workers followed Shi Sheng’s instructions on where to place all the furniture.

Once everyone had left, Xi Yin turned to look at Shi Sheng and spoke while stressing each syllable for emphasis, “Even if you spend this much effort on pleasing me, I’m not going to like you.”

The only reason he was with her was because…his clan’s rule was that they could only have one partner for life. And they were only allowed to have intimate contact with their partner. But since she had used those kinds of methods to possess him, there was no way he’d like her.

“Just waiting for you to slap yourself.” Shi Sheng replied ambiguously.

‘As long as he’s Feng Ci, there’s no way he won’t fall for me. I have this much confidence at least.’

Xi Yin didn’t really understand what she meant. But seeing as Shi Sheng wasn’t planning on explaining any more, he didn’t question her further and headed up the stairs instead.

Right now, he didn’t feel like seeing this woman.

Once he’d returned to his room, Xi Yin locked the door. The sunlight just so happened to hit his body, causing him to wrinkle his brows in disgust and shift into a darker corner.

The corner of his gaze caught sight of that painting on the wall.

Xi Yin’s figure paused and he muttered, “It’s fate after all?”

Something you couldn’t escape, nor hide from.

When the sunlight fell onto Xi Yin’s wrist that dangled by his side, a red string with a crescent moon-shaped pendant that reflected scattered rays of light seemed to appear indistinctly. However, upon closer inspection, it seemed like there was nothing on his wrist.
