Su Zimo's footsteps were fast, and Xia Yanxi had to use all her strength to keep up.

She tried to break free from his hand, "Master Su, I can go by myself."

Su Zimo could hear her embarrassment, but when he thought that Ji Beimu might still be watching their actions from behind, he was stubbornly unwilling to let go of his hand.

After finally entering the shopping mall, Su Zimo finally let go and looked at her apologetically, "I was too excited just now, sorry."

"It's okay." Xia Yanxi rubbed her wrist, "Actually, I'm not interested in things like shopping at the mall, so I want to leave now."

"Yanxi, can't you stay with me?" Su Zimo lowered his eyes, his voice pleading.

Xia Yanxi paused slightly, raised her eyes in surprise, and found a little loneliness on his face.

Is he too lonely?
Or did he perform it on purpose for her to see?
Because there have been too many changes in the family in the past six months, she can't easily trust anyone now.

Xia Yanxi still kept a distant smile on her face, "I really appreciate Young Master Su's warm invitation, but I think it's easy for others to misunderstand us when we go shopping together like this."

She doesn't like to be sloppy when dealing with feelings, so she directly expresses her thoughts clearly.

Su Zimo curled his lips mockingly, "What you're worried about is that Ji Beimu will misunderstand, right?"

Hearing this, Xia Yanxi's expression became unnatural.

"I already know the answer."

Out of the corner of Su Zimo's eyes, he suddenly noticed a tall figure approaching them, and his brows frowned again.

Xia Yanxi was about to leave when he suddenly grabbed her hand again.

"Actually, today is my birthday. I just want someone to accompany me. You accompany me to buy a birthday cake. I won't bother you after buying." Su Zimo anxiously pulled her towards a cake shop.

The girl frowned, she didn't seem to owe him anything, and she had no obligation to accompany him to do such things.

She was about to refuse again, but found that Ji Beimu had already stood at the gate of the mall at some point.

The man put his hands in the pockets of his suit trousers. It was obviously just a casual gesture, but his whole body exuded an aura that strangers should not get close to.

Many girls who saw his handsome face and wanted to contact him did not dare to go forward after feeling his aura.

Xia Yanxi also immediately noticed that his eyes were firmly fixed on the hand that was being held by Su Zimo.

There was a thump in her heart.

Although I don't know why Ji Beimu also appeared here.

But her and Su Zimo's actions now clearly misunderstood him.

But thinking of everything that happened in the private room, Xia Yanxi still didn't shake off Su Zimo's hand again.

When they came to the cake shop, Xia Yanxi looked around and found that Ji Beimu hadn't followed.

She quietly said beside Su Zimo: "Don't pretend, he didn't follow."

Su Zimo, who was picking out cakes, was surprised when he heard this.

He stood up, took a serious look at her, and had to let go of her hand, "You are smarter than I thought."

Xia Yanxi pursed her lips, "Although I don't know what grievances you had with him before, I don't think you should get involved with me."

"I just don't think he's suitable for you!" Su Zimo pursed her lips, looking anxious, "He won't cherish you, you can only be happy if you leave him."

Hearing this, Xia Yanxi had a bold guess in her heart.

But since the other party didn't make it clear, she couldn't express her thoughts directly.

"I don't know why you said such things, and I'm not interested in the reasons. But I don't want to have another time like this tonight."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and strode out.

Su Zimo looked at her back, inexplicably not daring to keep up.

Perhaps it was because she had been with Ji Beimu for a while, and she had somehow acquired that man's unique aura.

Xia Yanxi walked out of the shopping mall and found that Ji Beimu's car was gone.

Her mind was in a mess, and she immediately wrapped herself in the quilt when she got home.

Xia Jinyuan poured her a cup of hot milk and asked with concern, "Sister, are you unhappy?"

Xia Yanxi shook her head sullenly.

The little boy gently stroked her head, pretending to be old-fashioned: "No matter what happens, I will stay by my sister's side."

"Thank you brother!"

After Xia Jinyuan left, Xia Yanxi stared at the ceiling, her heart still aching.

If she shakes off Su Zimo's hand in time tonight, will the final outcome be different?
For the next week, Xia Yanxi was too busy to think about this issue.

Because of the scandal between Jiang Siyu and Ji Beimu, the pair of rings produced by Xia's Jewelry was sold out on the day of sale, so Xia Yanxi had to ask the manufacturer to work overtime to get more goods.

The assistant Xiao Chen was very happy when he saw the sales report every day, "Mr. Xia! That pair of rings has brought a lot of exposure to our brand, and even the sales of other products are increasing every day. What a great start!"

Hearing this, Xia Yanxi stopped flipping through the documents suddenly.

The situation of Xia's jewelry today is indeed something she did not expect.

But she also knew that she was able to achieve such a good result today, all thanks to Ji Beimu.

It's just that the man—

Since the hurried farewell at the shopping mall that day, Ji Beimu seemed to disappear from her world suddenly, and even Fu Yan rarely came over.

Although it was not the first day she had left his side, but this time she really felt the fear of parting.

"Mr. Xia, are you alright?" Xiao Chen saw her distracted, couldn't help but waved his hand in front of her.

Xia Yanxi shook her head, "I'm fine."

After Xiao Chen left the office, she stood up and paced back and forth in the office.

Will Ji Beimu take to heart what he saw in the mall that day?

Shouldn't she...should go and apologize to him?
Xia Yanxi was very upset, and when she came back to her senses, she realized that she had already arrived at Dongling Group.

She looked up at the towering office building, hesitating whether to move on.

At this moment, Zhao Bin's voice came from behind her, "Miss Xia, why are you here?"

Xia Yanxi turned her head and saw that Zhao Bin got out of the car alone.

She couldn't see Ji Beimu, and asked awkwardly, "Did the third master not be with you today?"

"The third master is on a business trip and went to city A. I don't know when he will come back." Zhao Bin explained.

Xia Yanxi was taken aback.

She knew that Ji Beimu often took Zhao Bin with him when he went out.

But this time, even Zhao Bin didn't know his specific itinerary.

She frowned slightly, and asked worriedly: "How is the third master these days?"

"Actually, I don't know too well, but the third master often locks himself in the office recently, not letting anyone disturb him."
