Xue Xi instinctively thought that the mysterious organization had come looking for her. She immediately looked warily at the living room!
She saw three people sitting in the living room: her maternal grandfather, Ye Lai, her maternal grandmother, Song Wenman, and an unfamiliar person. She was wearing an expensive-looking white sportswear and had a Gucci bag on her waist. Her long hair was smooth and her facial features were exquisite and beautiful.
She was incredibly beautiful.
She was the most beautiful person Xue Xi had ever seen, whether it was a man or a woman.
Compared to Cen Bai, she seemed even more exquisite. Compared to Xiang Huai… Mhm, there was no way to compare. Xiang Huai’s charm lay in his cold and shameless aura, but the person in front of her had an arrogant expression. Her eyes seemed very high up on her head, making her look unapproachable. Her entire body was filled with nobility and coldness.
Xue Xi frowned hesitantly. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Ye Li say, “Xixi, this is your maternal grandfather’s student, coming to visit him after hearing that we’ve come to the capital. The name is… is…”
“It’s Ai Si,” Song Wenman explained. “Ai meaning mugwort and Si as in to manage.”
Seeing that Song Wenman and Ye Li seemed to fancy her, Xue Xi nodded and greeted, “Hello, Sister.”
“…”
The entire living room fell silent.
Then—
“Pfft!”
Song Wenman was the first to burst out laughing. Following that, Ye Li also burst out laughing.
The elder sister frowned and seemed a little angry. However, she suppressed her anger and said coldly, “Are you blind?”
This voice was very cold. In the middle of winter, it gave off a very cool feeling in this heated room. It was simply hard to tell if it was a male or a female voice.
Ye Li poked her arm. “Ai Si is a man.”
Xue Xi: “…”
She seemed to be a little surprised and looked at Ai Si in amazement. She felt that this person was simply ridiculous. Why was a man so beautiful?
However—
The person who’d contacted her from the mysterious organization spoke in a very ingratiating tone. Since this person’s attitude was so cold and arrogant, he was definitely not that person.
At this thought, Xue Xi relaxed her guard and looked at her blankly. Oh, no, at him. She then retracted her gaze and said, “Sorry.”
A snort escaped Ai Si’s nose. He first swept his eyes across her face disdainfully, as though it held contempt. Then he followed her gaze to the cat she was holding.
Being stared at by him, the black cat instantly became even more frightened. Xue Xi could even feel the cat’s body trembling slightly.
The two of them—No, it should be said that the man and the cat knew each other?
Just as she was hesitating, she saw Ai Si smirk and say in disdain, “This cat is so black and ugly!”
Xue Xi: “…”
If it were any other time, the black cat would have exploded when it heard this and would have shouted, “Stupid humans have no taste!”
However, at this moment, this cat only glanced at Ai Si as though it was afraid of something and did not speak.
Xue Xi sensitively sensed that this cat was afraid of something. She instinctively hugged it and rubbed its back comfortingly to calm the black cat down before saying, “There’s no one to take care of the company’s cat during the new year, so I brought it back.”
After saying that, she said calmly, “Ugly or beautiful, everyone has their own taste. But at least it is easy to tell that this one is a female cat.”
Everyone: “…”
Wasn’t Xue Xi being sarcastic?
After saying this, she carried the black cat to her bedroom and closed the door. She also closed the door on Ai Si, who had reacted, and she did not see his expression change instantly.
The moment the door was closed, Xue Xi turned to look at the black cat in her arms and asked, “Do you know him?”
