She was no longer the young Liu Xixi who was played around by her own sister, but Shen Jingchen did not know any of this.

Time can change people, but only Shen Jingchen has been living at the top of the pyramid. He doesn't need to change the people around him, perhaps Shen Jingchen himself has changed, but he doesn't notice.

Shen Jingchen ate in a slow and unhurried manner, appearing as if he was a gentleman taught by the upper class. During this time, he continuously served dishes to Liuxi, and the food in the small bowl kept piling up.

Liu Xixi had gotten drunk last night and had no appetite. She ate the rice grain by grain. She was eager for Shen Jingchen to return her clothes to her as well as to escape from this cage.

"You don't want to know why I moved here?" Shen Jingchen pulled out a tissue and wiped his mouth clean before looking at Liu Xixi.

"I'm not interested at all." Liu Xixi had thought about how Shen Jingchen had moved when she first came here, but that was only for a moment. It wasn't something she should waste her time worrying about.

"Oh?" Shen Jingchen dragged his words, but the expression on his face remained the same as usual. He had long anticipated that Liuxi would give such an answer, so his heart remained calm.

"Shen Mo Chen, what do you want?" Liu Xixi let out a long sigh that could not be heard. This man, whom she once deeply loved and even wished to climb the mountain of swords and descend the sea of flames for him, now made her feel as if she was sitting on pins and needles when interacting with him.

"Don't you know what I want?" Shen Jingchen narrowed his eyes, exuding an aura that made Liu Xixi feel uncomfortable.

"I don't know."

"I said, I want to start over. Is that not straightforward enough?"

"Like I said, we're really out of the question." Liu Xixi repeated her views time and time again, but this man always ignored him.

Sometimes, Liuxi wondered if she was from the same planet as this man. Why did she always say things that she didn't understand?

Without another word, Shen Jingchen left the table and headed towards the garden outside. Unlike the villa from before, which was devoid of Liuxi's favorite cherry blossoms, the cherry blossoms were replaced by some precious plants.

Liu Xixi sighed and got up to clean up the dishes. A servant walked in from outside and bowed respectfully to Liu Xixi. "Miss, the young master asked the shop to send you some clothes."

Liuxi took it and deliberately ignored the servant's probing gaze. She only said a "thank you" before turning around and walking towards the washroom.

Inside the bag, from her dress to her underwear, she looked at the size of her underwear. It was exactly the size she wore, and her face was uncontrollably flushed.

Liu Xixi felt her whole body was refreshed, even her mood had inexplicably improved. Previously, when she was wearing Shen Jingchen's woolen sweater, she was too restrained, not even daring to make a sound.

She picked up her things and pushed open the front door. The sunlight was so bright that it blinded her. She walked towards the garden, where Shen was pruning the potted plants.

"I'm leaving." Liu Xixi walked over and spoke to Shen Mo Chen.

She did not realize that the moment she turned around, the man's gaze fell on her back. She did not look back once, so she did not know how long Shen Jingchen's gaze stayed on her until she could no longer see him.

Liuxi stood by the roadside. Every time he was in a high-end villa area, the only bad thing about it was that it was too troublesome to take a taxi.

Finally, a taxi passed by and Liu Xi took a taxi back to Yu Jing Tian City. He originally thought that Zeng Yi and An An wouldn't be home at this hour, but the moment he opened the door, the two of them were staring at each other.

Oh, Liussi said quickly. It's Saturday, and she's forgotten about it.

"Mom, where did you go last night? You're not home all night and I'm so worried. " An An saw Liu Xixi walk in from outside. His small face was wrinkled as she jumped up from the sofa and ran to Liu Xixi's side.

Now he and Liu Xixi were both young adults, and sometimes Liu Xixi didn't even know if it was right or wrong to be so precocious, just like her precious son.

"I went out for a drink with a friend last night. I got drunk and went to stay with a friend. That's why I couldn't make it back in time. Sorry, I won't do it again. " Liussi squatted down. To be fair to An An, the reason he gave was a half-truth half-falsehood, so it couldn't be considered a lie, right?

"Oh, then don't drink so much next time, mom. When mom was drinking before, didn't you always say that drinking too much alcohol was bad for your body?" Anthea did not suspect him and told him the truth.

Liu Xixi was amused by An An's earnest attitude. She listened to An An An's simple and honest teaching and nodded, indicating that she was willing to accept it.

An An was tired, and she discovered that her mother's face was full of fatigue. "Mom, quickly go back to your room and rest. I'll play games with my foster mother in the living room."

She nodded, smacked Anthea's lips, and went back to her room. The hangover was so bad that she still hadn't recovered.

Just as she changed into her pajamas and was about to sleep in her bed, Zeng Yi knocked on the door and entered.

"What's wrong?" Liu Xixi changed clothes, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at Zeng Yi. When she just returned home, she already noticed that something was wrong with Zeng Yi. She knew that her good friend couldn't hide anything, and sure enough, he came to find her.

"From the facts, how were you and Shen Mo Chen last night?" While watching the change in Liu Xixi's expression, Zeng Yi didn't want to let go of the subtle change in her good friend's expression. She walked to the edge of the bed and sat down.

"What can happen?" I'm drunk. " It turned out that because of this matter, Zeng Yi had spent a great deal of effort to coax his son in front of An An An.

"Don't lie to me, I called you countless times last night. In the end, that bitch, Shen Mo Chen, shut down her phone." Speaking of this matter, Zeng Yi was filled with anger.
