Ah Mo seemed to know what Xi Xiaye was thinking, so he continued, "Missus, the engagement ceremony ended earlier with the reason that Xi Xinyi was unwell at last. Mayor Xi had already left City Z with a plan tonight, so these..."
Xi Xiaye looked on with mixed emotions in her eyes at the items. Just as she was hesitating about whether or not to take them, the man beside her suddenly said softly, "Bring it to the study room."
"Yes, Master!"
The instant Mu Yuchen said that, Ah Mo brought the items into the villa. Behind them came the sound of a car door closing.
Xi Xiaye very quickly snapped out of it. She thought about how she was going to call the Shen residence after dinner later, but now she had to receive her guests first.
As she thought about this, she breathed in slightly, and then looked up at the sound. Two tall and lofty figures instantly entered their sight.
