When Tao Yuxuan heard Shi Xi’s words, she said sadly, “No, it’s not even as good!”

“Huh?” Shi Xi was puzzled and poured herself half a gla.s.s of wine.

Tao Yuxuan hesitated for a moment before finally saying, “Jun Cheng likes his ex-girlfriend.”

Shi Xi drank her wine. “I heard that Jun Cheng has an ex-girlfriend. Who is she?”

“I don’t know. I’m not familiar with him,” Tao Yuxuan said dejectedly.

“If he likes his ex-girlfriend, why didn’t he fight for it?” Shi Xi complained.

“He’s already confessed to me. He said that our fake marriage has nothing to do with each other.”

Shi Xi was speechless.

“We agreed to fake a marriage and not disturb each other after the wedding.” Tao Yuxuan told her everything.

Shi Xi’s mind was filled with words of ridicule, but she could not say them out loud. She could only comfort her. “It’s okay. We’ll play our own games. Be careful.”

Tao Yuxuan paused.

She did not expect Shi Xi to be concerned about health issues.

Shi Xi saw Tao Yuxuan’s faint gaze and asked, “What’s wrong? Am I wrong?”

Tao Yuxuan opened her mouth. “You’re right.”

Seeing that Tao Yuxuan’s expression was still not good, Shi Xi asked, “Or is there any other way to avoid marriage? If you need money, I can borrow some from my brother.”

“It’s not about money.” Tao Yuxuan shook her head and said in a desolate tone, “It’s not bad to marry into the Jun family. At least no one will dare to bully me in the future.”

Shi Xi thought to herself that no one had dared to bully her in the past.

You’re so overbearing and unreasonable. Who would dare to provoke you?

“Let’s go down and take a look.” Tao Yuxuan stood up and prepared to go to the banquet.

“Do you want to sober up before going down?” Shi Xi asked as she supported her.

“No need, I’m not drunk.” Tao Yuxuan waved her hand.

“Then change your slippers.”

Tao Yuxuan:”…”

Shi Xi poured some tea for Tao Yuxuan before bringing her downstairs.

Many people came to the banquet and wished Tao Yuxuan a happy birthday.

Tao Yuxuan responded in boredom.

“Brother? You’re here too?” When Shi Xi saw that Shi Xu had also come to the banquet, her eyes curved as she looked behind him. “Is Dad here?”

“Dad still has something to do tonight, so he asked me to come over by myself.” Shi Xu looked at Tao Yuxuan and clinked his cup lightly. “Happy birthday.”

“Thank you.” Tao Yuxuan drank it all.

Shi Xu was slightly surprised and couldn’t stop her. “Don’t drink so much.”

Usually, when they clinked gla.s.ses, they would drink a little.

Tao Yuxuan was the only one who was so honest and gulped it down.

“It’s fine,” Shi Xi whispered to Shi Xu. “She just wants to drink today.”

Tao Yuxuan put down her empty wine gla.s.s. “You guys continue chatting,” she said. “I’ll go greet the others.”

Shi Xu frowned as he watched Tao Yuxuan leave. “What’s wrong with her? She doesn’t seem too happy?”

Shi Xi thought to herself, of course. Who would be happy to marry a man who didn’t like her?

“Let’s drink, let’s drink.” Shi Xi raised her cup and clinked it with Shi Xu’s, trying to change the topic.

Shi Xu s.n.a.t.c.hed Shi Xi’s gla.s.s away and replaced it with orange juice, warning, “No drinking.”

Shi Xi thought to herself, ‘You really care too much! Are you my father?’

“Yes, yes. I don’t drink,” Shi Xi said obediently.

There were quite a few people invited to the banquet, and it didn’t take long for Shi Xu to be pulled away by someone to exchange pleasantries.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Shi Xu vaguely saw someone urging Tao Yuxuan to drink.

Seeing that Tao Yuxuan was already drunk, Shi Xu was worried and paid more attention.

Seeing that she had drunk a little too much and that there was a man eyeing her covetously, Shi Xu walked forward with a cold expression..
