Xia Zhuozhuo stood in the luxurious corridor, her ears echoing with Si Shenxing's slightly rapid breathing, and her heart could not help but ripple. However, when she heard his words clearly, which were just his appreciation of her paintings, the throbbing quickly dissipated, replaced by a calm smile and a brisk "thank you". "To be honest, I never thought that the mysterious Jiangshan Master was actually a woman, and I never expected that you were the legendary figure." Si Shenxing's eyes flashed with curiosity and admiration. Xia Zhuozhuo shrugged lightly, with a playful smile on his lips: "Painting is just my personal hobby, I never reveal this to the outside world. If it weren't for Xu Linxi's unexpected move today, I might never reveal my identity." Si Shenxing's eyes became more and more fiery: "Then do you have a famous teacher to guide you when you paint?" Xia Zhuozhuo glanced at him lightly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Si, are you very interested in other people's privacy?" "Purely curious." Si Shenxing smiled slightly, with a hint of unruly in his eyes. "Curiosity is often accompanied by danger." Xia Zhuozhuo reminded him with a hint of warning in his tone. Si Shenxing didn't care at all, and a charming arc appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Then I want to see if this curiosity can devour me." Xia Zhuozhuo shook her head helplessly. She knew that any explanation was redundant for this mysterious man. She decided to change the subject: "Where are you taking me?" They had left the conference area and went deep into the corridor. There were closed doors on both sides and a gorgeous carpet in the middle. Every step seemed to be on the clouds. "Of course, it is to fulfill your duties as my female companion." Si Shenxing stopped and looked at her deeply. "Duties? What duties?" Xia Zhuozhuo was puzzled. "There are many guests today, but the really important ones are here. I need you..." Si Shenxing's words were a little cunning, "Help me block some unnecessary troubles." Xia Zhuozhuo frowned slightly, but then relieved: "I understand, it turns out that you want me to be your shield." Si Shenxing smiled lightly and did not deny: "When the time comes, please cooperate with Miss Zhuozhuo." As he said, he gently pushed open a door and led Xia Zhuozhuo into a spacious living room. In the living room, the scenery outside the French window is unobstructed. Several well-dressed men and women are sitting on the sofa, one of whom is Xia Liuli's boyfriend, Du Haoran, the grandson of the Du family. Du Haoran looks quite humble among the crowd, and is pouring tea for a middle-aged man. That man is Sun Zhengyue, a very important figure in the business world. "Mr. Sun, the tea here is all old tea. Since you like to drink tea, I will invite you and Miss Sun to taste tea in Yingyue Tower some other day. I often drink the tea there, it is very good." Du Haoran said flatteringly. Sun Zhengyue smiled and nodded: "Okay, I have heard of Yingyue Tower for a long time, but I have never been there. However, I am busy with an important case recently and cannot spare the time for the time being." Du Haoran took the opportunity to ask: "Is this case related to the previous Chen City?" Sun Zhengyue did not answer directly, but turned to look at the girl next to him, Sun Zhaozhao: "Zhaozhao, if you are bored, go drink tea with Haoran. If the tea is really good, bring some back for me to taste." Just then, Xia Zhuozhuo and Si Shenxing pushed the door in. Their arrival immediately attracted everyone's attention. Sun Zhaozhao's eyes flashed with surprise when she saw Si Shenxing. But when she saw Xia Zhuozhuo, her brows could not help but frown slightly. "Mr. Si is here." A middle-aged man came forward with a smile, "I heard that something happened outside, I wonder if it has been resolved?" "It's just a small misunderstanding, it has been handled properly." Si Shenxing answered calmly. "That's good. We were planning to go over and take a look." The man breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you for your concern. It's just a small matter." Si Shenxing smiled and looked at Xia Zhuozhuo, suddenly took her hand and introduced to everyone, "This is the fiancée I mentioned just now, Xia Zhuozhuo." Xia Zhuozhuo subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but Si Shenxing held it tighter, as if to pass on some kind of power to her. She quickly understood his intention, it turned out that he wanted her to cooperate with him in acting. She took a deep breath, suppressed her dissatisfaction, and smiled and nodded to everyone. "Miss Zhuozhuo, it's a pleasure to meet you. Just now, Mr. Si mentioned that he had a fiancée, and we were skeptical, but we didn't expect it to be true. Now that I have seen the real person, I understand why he got engaged at such a young age. It turns out that Miss Xia is so beautiful and charming. If it were me, I would also want to marry her home immediately!" A middle-aged man teased. Xia Zhuozhuo smiled awkwardly and was about to speak when Si Shenxing interrupted him: "Tanzhu, you are almost fifty this year, right? Don't make such jokes, be careful not to take advantage of the younger generation." Tanzhu's face froze slightly, but soon returned to normal and greeted Xia Zhuozhuo enthusiastically. Si Shenxing ignored him and took Xia Zhuozhuo to Sun Zhengyue: "Sun Shi, let me introduce you, this is my fiancée, Xia Zhuozhuo." Sun Zhengyue's face was not friendly, and Sun Zhaozhao on the side was even paler. Xia Zhuozhuo secretly complained in her heart, so she wanted her to help block peach blossoms! This mess, he didn't even say it earlier! However, Si Shenxing seemed to be unaware of it and still smiled calmly. Xia Zhuozhuo was furious and secretly increased the strength of holding his hand. But he didn't even frown and continued to talk to Sun Zhengyue with a smile. "Mayor Sun, Zhuozhuo is young but talented. I believe she will become my right-hand man." Si Shenxing said with a hint of boasting. Xia Zhuozhuo sneered in her heart. She didn't want to be his assistant, let alone play any role in this boring peach blossom calamity. But since she was already here, she would continue to act. She nodded slightly and greeted Sun Zhengyue: "Hello." Her voice was cold and distant. Sun Zhengyue's face became even uglier, but he still managed to squeeze out a smile: "Mr. Si is so lucky to find such an excellent fiancée." At this time, other people came forward to make peace, and the atmosphere gradually eased. Xia Zhuozhuo secretly rejoiced in her heart that she had finally avoided this peach blossom calamity temporarily. However, she knew that this was just the beginning, and there was still a long way to go in the future. She must always be vigilant to be invincible in this game of the rich. The topic passed by like a breeze, and it was fleeting, and everyone turned to talk about other things. Si Shenxing led her to an empty seat, personally held the pot and poured tea, and said warmly: "Please make yourself comfortable, no need to be polite, we are all close friends here." Xia Zhuozhuo forced a faint smile to respond to this courtesy. Si Shenxing was immediately surrounded by friends and chatted and laughed. Xia Zhuozhuo knew that this trip was just a foil, so she sat quietly in a corner and sipped the fragrant tea. Du Haoran once said that this tea was old and the taste was not good, but for her, the tea flavor was different, with a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste, which made people linger. Just as she was immersed in the fragrance of tea, a gentle female voice suddenly sounded, interrupting her thoughts: "Miss Zhuozhuo, are you the daughter of the Xia family?"
