Chapter 437 - Chapter 437 Chapter 435 Noticing Clues

Chapter 437: Chapter 435: Noticing Clues Chapter 437: Chapter 435: Noticing Clues The woman who walked in was wearing a white knitted short-sleeved top, with a long organza skirt below.

Her black, lustrous hair cascaded over her shoulders, making her appear uniquely stunning.

Upon seeing Ming Yao and Xia Yiwan, the woman slightly curled her lips at them.

One of the sales associates approached Shi Ying, “Miss, what would you like to pick?”

“Men’s casual wear.”

The sales associate led Shi Ying to a display rack filled with casual wear, “What style would you like, and what size?”

Shi Ying caught sight of one particular style and raised her hand to point at it, “This one, height about 187 or so, neither fat nor slim, standard build. Bring me a size to have a look.”

The jacket Shi Ying was pointing at was a trendy denim one with simple fashion-forward embroidery. It was evidently suited for someone quite stylish.

It was difficult for an average person to pull off.

Xia Yiwan noticed the jacket Shi Ying was selecting, and her brows knitted slightly.

A unique design, youthful and trendy, 187 in height, a standard build…

Suddenly, Xia Yiwan’s heart began to beat faster.

Why did the shirt Shi Ying was buying match Yanxi’s build and style so well?

Ming Yao noticed Xia Yiwan’s change in expression and gently took her hand, “Wanwan, don’t overthink it, maybe it’s just a coincidence.”

Gu Siting had told Yanxi about Shi Ying, and if Yanxi had any sense, he would keep his distance from Shi Ying.

He surely wouldn’t let Shi Ying buy clothes for him.

Xia Yiwan came back to her senses and nodded thoughtfully.

Not wanting to select clothes in the same store as Shi Ying, Xia Yiwan and Ming Yao went to another flagship store.

Xia Yiwan selected a suit for Yanxi and bought a pair of cufflinks.

While Ming Yao was still choosing, Xia Yiwan said, “Yaoyao, I’m going to the restroom.”

“Shall I accompany you?”

Xia Yiwan waved her hand, “No need, no need. You keep picking clothes for Fourth Master; I’ll be right back.”

Xia Yiwan went to the restroom, and as she came out of the stall and was washing her hands, the crisp sound of high heels clicking on the floor echoed behind her.

Shortly after, a delicate figure walked in and stood beside Xia Yiwan at the vanity to touch up her makeup.

Through the mirror, the gazes of the two women intertwined.

Shi Ying met Xia Yiwan’s gaze and smiled slightly.

Xia Yiwan pursed her lips and quickly looked away.

As Xia Yiwan was about to leave, Shi Ying suddenly bent over to wash her hands.

With the motion of bending, a necklace around her neck became visible.

The pendant on the necklace was star-shaped with tiny diamonds studded in it.

The moment Xia Yiwan saw the necklace, she froze, her pupils contracting sharply.

The necklace Shi Ying was wearing around her neck was exactly the same as the one Yanxi had given her not long ago.

Xia Yiwan stared intently at the necklace around Shi Ying’s neck, as if trying to see through it.

Shi Ying noticed Xia Yiwan’s unusual behavior and slightly knitted her fine brows, “Miss Xia, what’s wrong?”

Xia Yiwan pointed to the necklace around Shi Ying’s neck, “Where did you buy that necklace?”

“Oh, a close friend gave it to me,” Shi Ying’s smile was gracefully serene, “Does Miss Xia like it too?”

Xia Yiwan pressed her lips together tightly, “It’s quite beautiful.”

She didn’t say anything else and walked out of the restroom.

Once outside, she didn’t immediately leave, but leaned against the wall and took several deep breaths.

She kept reminding herself not to be paranoid.

What did it mean to have the same style of necklace anyway?

Xia Yiwan composed herself and was about to leave when she heard Shi Ying on the phone in the washroom.

“Prepare sweet and sour ribs, steamed turbot, and crab mushroom tofu soup for dinner, he’s coming to eat.”

Hearing the dishes Shi Ying mentioned, Xia Yiwan’s recently settled emotions became chaotic once more.

The dishes Shi Ying mentioned were all favorites of Yanxi.

He usually preferred lighter dishes and didn’t like strong flavors.

Xia Yiwan knocked her head forcefully, feeling like she was going crazy.

Why did she have to associate everything Shi Ying did with Yanxi?

The most important thing between husband and wife should be trust, right?

She had wronged him twice already, she couldn’t mistrust him again!

…

Evening.

Upon learning that Shi Ying had a headache, Yanxi immediately went to the seaside villa.

As soon as he arrived at the villa, he saw Shi Ying coming out of the kitchen. Yanxi approached and asked, “Sister Shi Ying, didn’t you have a headache? Why are you still cooking?”

Shi Ying took off her apron, “Most of it was done by the servants, I just helped out.” She said, a smile playing on the corners of her lips, “I did have a slight headache earlier, but it’s much better after taking some medicine.”

Shi Ying took Yanxi by the arm and pressed him into a chair.

“These are all your favorite dishes.” She sat beside him, serving him some food.

Yanxi took a couple of bites and then, thinking of Xia Yiwan, put down his chopsticks. “Sister Shi Ying, if you’re not feeling unwell, I need to go back first!”

Shi Ying’s hand tightened around her chopsticks, a twinge of displeasure arising in her heart, but she didn’t show it.

“I’ve already prepared the meal, won’t you stay and eat with me?”

Yanxi saw the disappointment on Shi Ying’s face and after struggling for a moment, he made a decision, “Sister Shi Ying, Wanwan is pregnant, I need to spend more time with her these days.”

At Yanxi’s words, Shi Ying felt a pang in her heart.

What did he mean by that?

Did that woman now mean more to him than she did?

Shi Ying looked at the man beside her with a complex expression. Although he wasn’t as cold and composed as Gu Siting, he was handsome and charming, and as the Young Master of the Yan Family, now that Gu Siting had nothing left, he was hundreds of times better than Gu Siting.

It’s just a pity, he was married!

But being married was nothing, it’s not like they couldn’t divorce!

Shi Ying didn’t show her displeasure, but instead said understandingly, “She’s pregnant, and you really should spend more time with her.”

Yanxi nodded, “Next time, I will accompany you for a meal.”

After speaking, he stood up and walked out of the dining room.

Shi Ying followed him out and called after Yanxi, who was about to leave, “Wait, I have a gift for you.”

Shi Ying took out the casual clothes she bought at the mall, “Try this on first.”

Seeing a denim jacket handed to him by Shi Ying, Yanxi raised his eyebrows slightly, “You bought it?”

“Yes, you’ve helped me so much, and I don’t have much to repay you with, so I bought you a piece of clothing. I hope you won’t mind.”

Yanxi took the denim jacket and put it on.

It fit perfectly.

“Pretty cool, right? My taste isn’t too bad, huh?” said Shi Ying with a smile on her lovely face.

Yanxi nodded, “Thanks, but you don’t have to buy me anything in the future, I have plenty of clothes.”

“Since I’ve already bought it, you have to accept it,” she insisted.

Yanxi nodded, “OK.”

He took off the denim jacket and placed it back in the bag, then picked up his car keys and left the villa.

Watching Yanxi’s retreating figure, Shi Ying’s lips curled into an almost imperceptible smile.
