558 Returning an Engagement Ring?

"Meow."
There was a slightly accusing cat meow from his leg.
Sheng Kite came back to his senses, looked down and found that he had unconsciously pressed the cat food machine two or three times, and the cat bowl was so full that it was about to overflow, and he couldn't put his mouth down.
Lyle leaned up on his shaggy head in dissatisfaction, trying to hold up Meow to death.
"I'm sorry."
Sheng Kite took the spoon and divided the excess food into another bowl, and Lai Lai rubbed Sheng Kite's leg with his tail, and ate his head to eat happily.
Sheng Kite squatted and watched for a while.
The phone sounds the event of a calendar memo.
- There are still four days left before the cubs are finished.
Immediately.
A pop-up window at the top of your phone's screen.
[Video call invitation from the cub.] γ
Almost at the same time.
Sheng Kite's mind once again sounded the mechanical voice of the system.
γCurrent Cumulative Quest Progress:γ
[Favorability: 70.00%, Trust: 90.00%, Love: 0.00%! γ
[Please execute the new strategy mission as soon as possible!] Please perform the new strategy mission as soon as possible! γ
I don't know if it's a delusion.
The phrase "love value, 0.00%" is like having an amplified sound effect, over and over again, echoing in my mind, which is extremely clear.
"Buzz."
The vibration of the video request continues.
Sheng Kite lowered her eyes, and her dense eyelashes fell a shallow shadow under her eyelids, half-covering the emotions in her pupils.
It's like you've made some kind of decision.
Her fingertips moved over the access button and slowly pressed it down, her brow curling as if nothing had happened before the video could be connected.

Early morning.
The driver was bending down with a clean rag and gently wiping the front mirror.
The pitch-black and shiny front of the car was smooth, and there was no eye-catching scratch that had been scratched yesterday, because the car had been directly replaced with an identical one.
The driver's movements were meticulous, and suddenly he caught a glimpse of a slender figure of a girl standing on the steps of the garden next to him.
He turned around and said respectfully, "Miss." β
"Are you going out?"
Sheng Kite nodded.
"Okay." The driver put down the rag, carefully washed his hands, put on white gloves, stepped forward to open the back door, and said in a familiar tone: "Are you going to the film and television city to find Master Shi Yan?" β
But I heard Sheng Kite say, No.
The early morning sun shone on the girl in the back seat, her cold white and flawless skin, her vivid and quiet side face, and her pupils in her clean and transparent apricot eyes.
She was silent for two seconds and spoke, "Go to the main house." β
-
This is the first time that Sheng Yuan took the initiative to go to the main house of the Shi family after he fell into the water and entered the hospital, except for accompanying Shi Yan.
The doorman who managed the entrance and exit of the main house stood in place for a moment before reacting, and then hurriedly opened the iron door and watched the Rolls-Royce drive into the house with a salute.
The servants were also surprised when they saw Sheng Kite.
He did not dare to slack off at all, and carefully introduced people into the living room, and ordered people to prepare tea and snacks, and then went to inform the Shi couple who would have breakfast in the side hall.
"No need, I'm here to find Grandpa Shi."
The servants looked at the girl with an indifferent expression, and inexplicably didn't dare to move again, so they hurriedly bowed their heads.
Sheng Kite came over at the end of the old man's morning exercise, and not long after she arrived, the voice of the old man talking came from the entrance of the hall.
"Little kite?"
The old man was wearing a sportswear, and when he saw the appearance of Sheng Kite, he raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Sheng Yuan nodded, "Grandpa Shi, I have something to look for you." β
Keenly observed that the girl's expression was inexplicably solemn, the old man gathered his expression, and immediately smiled, and his tone was kind: "Okay, you go to my study with the housekeeper first, and I will change my clothes, and then come." β
The words fell.
The old housekeeper beside the old man stepped forward and stretched out his hand respectfully, "Miss Sheng, please come here." β
-
Partial hall restaurant.
"Dad isn't coming for breakfast, what's the matter?" Father looked up.
"Yes." The servant bowed, "A guest has come to the old gentleman." β
Shi Mu held the warm fresh milk in her hand, and asked casually without paying much attention to it, "Guest?" What guests? β
The servant hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes...... Miss Sheng Kite. β
Sheng Kite?!
Shi Mu's movements slammed suddenly, and she turned her head and reprimanded, "Why didn't she hear anyone report me when she came?" β
The servant paused, and was silent, not daring to speak.
The answer is self-explanatory.
Everyone knows that at this time, the little young master Shi Yan is not in the main house of the Shi family, and Sheng Kite suddenly came over, so naturally he will not come to find the little young master Shi Yan.
But directly going over the male and female hosts of the house to find the old man is a righteous and bright act of disregard.
However, no one dares to comment on anything lightly.
Even if it is Shi Mu, it is the same.
So her face gradually became a little ugly, mainly because she had been treated favorably by Sheng Kite, so that the embarrassment would only be worse when the gap came, and she no longer had the opportunity to "discipline" Sheng Kite as an elder.
Thinking of this, Shi's mother felt a wave of hatred for her son Shi Xuan in her heart.
Some time ago, I don't know what Shi Xuan did, which made the old man Shi furious, moved his real character, and directly dismissed all Shi Xuan's positions in the company.
This scared Shi Mu a lot.
"You, now go to Dad's study and bring two breakfasts in." Shi Mu rolled her eyes twice and ordered a servant.
The servant's expression hesitated: "But the old gentleman said not to ...... first"
Shi Mu's attitude was not to be denied: "If you want to go, you will go." β
"Yes, ma'am."
-
Den.
The old man had already changed into a spiritual Tang costume, and instead of speaking at the serious and solemn desk, he took Sheng Yuan to sit on the leisure sofa in the small living room in the study.
The old butler beside him was making tea, and the dark green tea leaves slowly unfolded in the boiling water, and the fragrance of tea spread with the curling heat.
The old man sat in the first place, stretched out his hand and motioned to the old butler to pour a cup for Sheng Kite first.
didn't directly ask Sheng Kite where he came from, but like a kind elder, he happily said that this tea was newly sent by a friend, saying that it was produced in some precious territory, so that Sheng Kite should not dislike it and taste it for him.
Sheng Kite didn't refuse, and took it with both hands.
The tea tasting session is over.
The old man looked like he was willing to hear about it.
Sheng Kite lowered her eyes, and her white and slender knuckles stroked the rim of the cup with temperature.
The atmosphere was quiet for a few seconds.
The girl raised her head, paused word by word, and spoke: "Grandpa Shi, you lost to me in chess before, and you promised me at that time that you could promise me one thing, I don't know, does it count now?" β
-
The maid who went to the study to deliver breakfast was scolded by the old housekeeper and scolded.
Shi Mu was only curious about another thing, "How is it, did you hear what they said?" β
The servant shook her head.
"Nope."
"But I seeβ"
Shi Mu was anxious: "What do you see?" β
"I saw Miss Sheng Yuan take out a ring and put it in front of the old gentleman, but I don't know about it."
"Rings?"
The servant nodded, "Yes, Diamond Ring." β
Shi Mu thought to herself, and then she didn't know what to think, her eyes lit up, and she instinctively guessed, "Could it be their engagement ring?" β

psοΌ
I'm afraid that you will scold me, so I don't dare to read the comments in the past two days (I have a glass heart, I only like to listen to praise)
The main thing is not to want spoilers.
I'm afraid of affecting the reading experience.
In short, the plot is not what you think. (End of chapter)
