When she went to find Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen had just sent away a group of people. Before Jiang Chen could refuse Song Shi, she sat next to Jiang Chen.

Secretary Zheng Tian walked in with a beautifully wrapped gift box, then stopped in front of Jiang Chen and opened the gift box, which was wrapped in a smooth piece of cloth.

On the cloth, there is a card.

Song Shi saw a name embroidered on the fabric, "Yuan Shu."

It was obviously a woman's name, and Song Shi felt a little unhappy.

Zheng Tian lifted the fabric, and Song Shi was stunned when she saw this very gorgeous dress. She couldn't help but reach out to touch it. Just as she was about to touch it, Jiang Chen suddenly stopped her: "Stop."

Song Shi was frightened by him and obediently retracted her hand. However, when she thought that he was going to give such a beautiful dress to another woman, Song Shi felt a little dissatisfied, so she turned to look at Jiang Chen and asked him for it.

"Jiang Chen, can you give me this dress? I like it very much!"

Although Jiang Chen was very cold towards Song Shi, he would generally meet Song Shi's requests, so Song Shi always thought that this long dress was hers.

Moreover, the workmanship of this robe is very delicate. Although Song Shi does not know how to embroider, from the complexity of the embroidery on the outer layer of the robe, it can be seen that this robe must have taken a long time to make.

Apart from her, Song Shi really couldn't think of any other woman who was worthy of this dress.

Song Shi has already imagined how she would look in this dress. When she appears at the Liu family's banquet, she will definitely stun the whole audience and become the focus of everyone's attention!

Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen rejected her impatiently. When he spoke, his expression was unusually cold, "Don't covet things that don't belong to you."

Song Shi was frightened by this sentence, and left the Jiang family mansion in anger. Until now, she has never been there again.

Song Shi thought Jiang Chen would at least coax her, but after so many days, he didn't even send her a message!

Song Shi was very angry and planned to ignore him when she saw him today to vent out the anger that had been pent up in her heart for the past few days. However, only Xu Zhi came and he disappeared not long after he arrived.

Just when Song Shi was feeling depressed and was about to call Jiang Chen, she saw Yuan Shu wearing this long dress.

Song Shi was very confident in herself and seldom paid attention to gossip in the upper class circles, so naturally she didn't know who Yuan Shu was. However, just by looking at her clothes, she knew that "Yuan Shu" was this woman.

I have to admit that this woman's aura completely overshadows this gorgeous dress, and even gives people a feeling of being unattainable.

This made Song Shi very angry, and he rushed up and beat Yuan Shu up.

As he walked over, Song Shi said in a contemptuous tone, "Song Shi, Song Shi, what are you doing! Are you really going to let jealousy cloud your reason?"

However, she was no longer rational at this time, so this happened.

That's why Song Shi was so surprised when Xiao said that the dress was a gift from him.

"Isn't this the genius girl of the Song family?"

"Isn't that so? Is she obsessed with someone else's dress because she likes it?"

Everyone was whispering and talking, and every word made Song Shi feel irritated.

She grabbed the hem of her skirt tightly and escaped when not many people were paying attention.

She was very proud and would never allow anyone to talk about her like that.

After the farce was over, although Yuan Shu did not react at all, Liu Fangyu could see that she was worried, so she patted Yuan Shu on the shoulder and said, "It's getting late, why don't you go back first?"

Yuan Shu frowned slightly, then glanced at Liu Fangyu and nodded lightly.

Shi Xiao, who was standing aside, looked at Yuan Shu with deep eyes. To be more precise, he was looking at the clothes she was wearing.

Neither of them spoke. Shi Xiao still held Yuan Shu's waist. He politely said goodbye to Liu Fangyu, then walked out of the banquet hall in the gaze of everyone.

Liu Fangyu stayed to deal with the aftermath and explained to everyone that the farce just now was just a joke and hoped that it would not affect everyone's mood. Then, the dance party continued.

When Zhao Cheng saw the two people coming out, he parked the car in front of the hotel and waited for the waiter to open the door. After the two got in the car, Zhao Cheng said, "Miss Shi Yi is not feeling well, so she is going home first."

Shi Xiao nodded, "Let's go back too."

"Yes." Zhao Cheng responded, started the car and drove towards the villa.

Yuan Shu looked out the window quietly. Only dim street lights were shining on the street. The bright and dim lights cast flickering shadows on her face, and the peonies on her body emitted a faint fluorescence under the lights.

Only then did Yuan Shu realize that the silk thread used for this peony robe was made of silk mixed with gold and silver threads, and then embroidered with exquisite flowers. No wonder it reflected light under the light.

Shi Xiao also noticed the sparkling peony flower. It seemed that the person who gave this robe had indeed put a lot of thought into it, even paying attention to such small details. This was not a design that could be thought up in a short period of time. This robe must have taken a long time to make.

Shi Xiao asked: "You really don't know who gave you this robe?"

Yuan Shu's eyes flashed with doubt, and he turned his head slightly to look at him, "Do you think I should know?"

Yuan Shu straightened up, looked into the darkness, and said, "Shi Xiao, whether you believe it or not, I never lie. I don't know where this dress came from, nor do I know who designed it."

"I believe you." Shi Xiao did not ask any more questions, but his tone was firm. He was not deceiving Yuan Shu, but really believed in her.

Yuan Shu was stunned and looked at Shi Xiao. When she heard Shi Xiao say "believe" her, her heart moved.

It was as if Yuan Shu had never trusted his companions.

She could always guess Shi Xiao's intentions. Every time Shi Xiao tested her, she would try every possible way to escape, and would even argue with Shi Xiao to put an end to his endless testing.

But in fact, Shi Xiao retreated every time.

He only asked questions that he was curious about, and when he didn't get an answer, he stopped asking. He chose to respect Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu felt a little guilty and touched that he "believed" in her so much. She said calmly, "Thank you."

Yuan Shu was finally willing to let down his guard and treat Shi Xiao as a partner.

Shi Xiao smiled faintly. This time, his smile came from the heart. He said, "You're welcome."

Then, he became serious again, "I checked carefully. This dress was sent by the Jiang family. Zheng Tian left it at the entrance of the mall and asked the courier to pick it up. The two of them only contacted by phone, so the courier didn't know who sent it... Yuan Shu, have you really never seen Jiang Chen?"

Yuan Shu thought about it carefully and really had no impression of him, so he shook his head, "Do you have a photo of him? Maybe if I see his face, I can remember him."

Shi Xiao shook his head helplessly. "Jiang Chen has always been very mysterious. Zheng Tian and Jiang Heng help him do everything. No one in the outside world has ever seen his appearance. Even the Xu family has probably only seen him a few times."

Yuan Shu never knew Jiang Chen and never expected him to be so mysterious.

Yuan Shu recalled what Song Shi said at the dance tonight, and couldn't help wondering: "What is the relationship between the Song family and the Jiang family? Why does Song Shi seem to see Jiang Chen so often?"

Shi Xiao could feel that Yuan Shu was now speaking to him very casually, without his previous wariness, and seemed to have truly accepted him from the bottom of his heart. Shi Xiao was very satisfied.
