Shi Sheng didn't know when Xia Chu would be able to find it, but deep down, she was touched.
She clenched the dagger. "Thank you."
"Haha, I knew you'd like it." Xia Chu smiled and picked up another box from the table. "This is for you too."
There was a bracelet in the box. It was made of a stone that Shi Sheng didn't recognize. It was polished and smooth, and each stone was as clear as a crystal.
"It's beautiful under the sun." Xia Chu said, "But I don't think you'd like it. I made it casually. You might need it in the future, just in case."
Xia Chu didn't expect that her casual words would come in handy after such a long time.
"Okay." Shi Sheng put away the bracelet. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a lot of things piled up on the table next to the table. He seemed to be forging something. She asked, "What's that?"
Xia Chu looked over. "Oh, Ji Ye said he wanted me to forge a weapon for him. You know that the Xia family can forge personal weapons, so I agreed. It's a good opportunity to practice."
"Ji Ye?" Shi Sheng frowned. "Are you close to him now?"
"We're okay. He asked me out a few times. Ji Ye is very polite and I feel good getting along with him. He's good at taking care of people. Life with him in the future should be pretty good."
Shi Sheng looked at the unfinished weapon and frowned. But he didn't say anything in the end.
That was the first time Shi Sheng knew that Xia Chu was forging a weapon for Ji Ye. The same thing happened several times after that. Although Ji Ye paid for it, Shi Sheng still felt that Xia Chu was being used.
The Xia family had its own rules. For example, the Xia family would only forge a weapon for one member of a family. No matter how much money the other members had, they wouldn't be allowed to forge a weapon.
It would be useless if someone impersonated them. When the Xia family forged a weapon, the user's DNA would be added. No one else could use the weapon except for that person.
Ji Ye was completely using her relationship with Xia Chu.
But Shi Sheng was an outsider, so she couldn't say anything.
Xia Chu and Ji Ye were engaged. There was no doubt about this. The Xia family recognized Ji Ye's identity. No one would say anything if Xia Chu forged a weapon for him.
…
Xia Chu's birthday party.
Shi Sheng attended the banquet as the representative of the Shi family. The Shi family's reputation was gradually growing. Whether it was in terms of wealth or strength, the Shi family was transforming. And all of this was because of the head of the Shi family, Shi Sheng.
This young lady used bloody means to obtain the Shi family. Everyone thought that she wouldn't be able to hold on for long before the Shi family fell.
But unexpectedly, not only did the Shi family not decline, they even started to become stronger.
No matter where Shi Sheng went, no one dared to look down on this little girl.
The third time Caesar met Shi Sheng was at Xia Chu's birthday party.
She stood beside Xia Chu and calmly looked at the guests coming and going. She restrained her hostility, but there was a hint of indifference. It was as if these people had nothing to do with her and she was just looking at unimportant things.
She was completely different from Xia Chu, who was chatting with others with a gentle smile.
Caesar was very puzzled. How could these two people become friends?
Shi Sheng and Xia Chu stood there for a while and couldn't stand it anymore. He told Xia Chu to go to the back.
"Shi Family Head."
A slightly roguish man blocked her way. "Do you still remember me?"
"Fourth Prince." Shi Sheng's tone was calm. "What can I do for you?"
"Shi Family Head still remembers me?" Caesar seemed to be very surprised.
She acted as if they didn't know each other the previous two times they met.
Shi Sheng didn't reply. Caesar laughed rudely. "Shi Family Head did a good job in the last battle. Father said that he wants to reward you."
"There's no need." Shi Sheng walked past Caesar.
"Shi Family Head, I'm looking forward to going to the front line with you." She was really smart. She was so smart that people wanted to compete with her.
Shi Sheng didn't even pause in her steps as she left.
It was quieter at the back. When the Xia family saw her, they all retreated and took a detour. Shi Sheng appeared more often in the Xia family recently, so these people knew him. But they were still a little scared when they saw him.
This girl was much scarier than Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng didn't expect to see a good show when he just came out for a breath of fresh air.
Ji Xuan and Ji Ye stood in the corner and talked. Ji Xuan looked very emotional and seemed to be crying. Ji Ye comforted her softly and the two of them acted intimately.
Shi Sheng was angry. She had been tolerating Ji Ye because she saw that Xia Chu really wanted to spend the rest of her life with Ji Ye. But she didn't expect Ji Ye to surprise her every time.
Shi Sheng listened carefully for a moment. It seemed that she wanted Ji Ye to ask Xia Chu to make her a personal weapon.
Ji Ye had no choice but to agree to Ji Xuan's request.
Ji Xuan smiled through her tears.
Ji Ye said a few words to her and then left, leaving Ji Xuan alone.
At that time, Shi Sheng hadn't done anything. After the banquet, Ji Ye was drunk and Xia Chu wanted to send Ji Ye back.
Ji Xuan came out of nowhere. Not only was she disrespectful to Xia Chu, but she also provoked her. She almost said that Ji Ye and she were only engaged. Ji Ye didn't like her at all and asked her to stop pestering Ji Ye.
Xia Chu kept silent and let Ji Xuan take Ji Ye away.
Shi Sheng later found out that Ji Xuan had said that in front of her more than once.
"Are you out of your mind?" Shi Sheng lost his temper in front of Xia Chu for the first time. "Who does Ji Ye think he is? You're the head of the Xia family. In terms of status, you're higher than him. Why should you bow down to him?"
"Ah Sheng, don't be angry …" Xia Chu panicked and reached out to grab Shi Sheng's hand.
"You got along well with him before. Was that a lie?" Shi Sheng shook off her hand.
Xia Chu felt wronged. "I … I just didn't want you to worry. Even if Ji Ye doesn't like me, our engagement can't be canceled. Ah Sheng, don't be angry."
"This isn't over."
Shi Sheng left.
"Ah Sheng!"
Xia Chu couldn't stop Shi Sheng. She didn't even bother to put on her clothes and chased after him. It was snowing outside. The snowflakes rustled and the figure in front of her was blurry.
"Ah Sheng!"
"Ah Sheng …"
Xia Chu called out several times, but the person in front of her didn't respond.
In her anxiety, Xia Chu didn't see the road clearly and tripped on the snow. The snow stuck to her cheeks and she shivered from the cold. She started to feel cold all over.
Xia Chu was about to get up when her body was suddenly lifted into the air and wrapped in hot air.
"Ah Sheng."
Shi Sheng sent Xia Chu back without a word and stuffed her into the quilt rudely.
Xia Chu held Shi Sheng's hand. "Ah Sheng, don't go looking for Ji Ye. I have my reasons for this. The Xia family and the Ji family have some ties. I can't cancel the engagement."
Xia Chu talked for a long time, but Shi Sheng still didn't promise not to make trouble for Ji Ye. In the end, she used her trump card — crying.
Shi Sheng scolded her and promised not to make trouble for Ji Ye after she coaxed and pestered him.
However, Xia Chu found that something was wrong with Ji Xuan. Ji Xuan's face was full of fear and hatred every time she saw her.
The arrogance she used to show off in front of her was long gone.
Xia Chu knew that Shi Sheng must have done something. At that time, she only promised not to touch Ji Ye, but not Ji Xuan …
