Chapter 7: Negative Sense of presence

An Xin and Sha Nanfeng's original suggestion was to let Sha Zhixing learn management so that she could help the family in the future. However, Sha Zhixing had no interest in this and insisted on learning some design. This made An Xin nag for a long time.

Luo Xichen listened to An Xin's complaints with a good temper. He just smiled faintly and did not make any comments.

He knew very well how exaggerated An Xin's words were. Sha Zhixing had always been a smart person since she was young. How could no one want her?

Although he hadn't been in the country for many years, he had always known about Sha Zhixing's photos and what had happened in her life. Every once in a while, someone at home would automatically report to him, even though the two of them were separated by a vast ocean. However, she had never left his life.

An Xin's words were like an endless stream of river water as she continued. "She's already nineteen years old, and she hasn't even had a boyfriend yet. Do you think your uncle and I aren't worried? A girl can either find a reliable husband and get married, or she can focus on her own career, but she doesn't have either. Sigh, why is this girl so troublesome? If that girl Zhixing is as reassuring as you are, then your uncle and I will be at ease."

Then, she sighed and added, "Looks like I have to find a time to arrange a blind date for her!"

Luo Xichen felt a sudden discomfort in his chest, and a crack appeared in his eyes. "Auntie, Zhixing is still young. There's no need for a blind date, right?"

"You don't understand." An Xin shook her head and sighed. "Girls and men are different. Women are only young for a few years. If you don't choose a good one right now and marry, you will have to wait for someone else to choose you."

"It's not that serious, is it?" Luo Xichen's lips twitched. Was she planning to pack up the girl and throw her out of the house?

An Xin snorted, disapproving of his words. "How is it not serious? She's already nineteen years old. She hasn't found a job, nor a boyfriend. Even I, as her mother, am worried about her..."

"Let Zhixing join the Luo family. Zhixing studied jewelry design, so it's perfect for her to join the Luo family. I'll go upstairs to see her." Luo Xichen suddenly interrupted her. He then turned around and walked upstairs.

An Xin looked at his back as he walked upstairs in a daze. She was a little surprised.

That's right, why didn't she think of this?

The Luo family's business was huge, and they owned many businesses. Jewelry was one of the most important businesses. All of the employees were top-notch designers, both domestic and foreign. Any one of their names would be famous in the international jewelry industry. If Sha Zhixing could join the Luo family... She wouldn't have to worry about her future.

However, why did it feel like she had raised a daughter for someone else?

It would have been fine if she had married someone else. However, she was already working hard for someone else before she even got married. An Xin could not figure it out.

What was even more puzzling to her was why Sha Zhixing had chosen to design jewelry?

As an Xin thought about it, she automatically connected the matter to Luo Xichen.

Zhixing... Had made this decision for Xichen?

In the room upstairs, Sha Zhixing, who had not brought any clothes into the bathroom, took a bath. She only stood up when the water was cold.

She was the only one in her room. She could have worn it after going to the bedroom, but she had forgotten to lock the door. She was afraid that her family would come into her room when she went out.

She hesitated in the bathroom for a while and pricked up her ears to listen for the movement in the corridor. She did not hear any footsteps. Sha Zhixing took a slightly bigger towel and wrapped it around her body.

The towel was slightly bigger than a normal towel, but it was far from the size of a bath towel. However, the key parts could still be barely covered.

As long as the door was locked, she would be at ease.

Her hand pulled off the towel wrapped around her body and wiped her wet long hair. Sha Zhixing went straight to the wardrobe.

She took out a white dress and looked at it for a while. She was disgusted by the excessive dew, so she hung it back in the wardrobe and changed into a black dress.

However, before she changed into it, she felt that the color was too dark, so she stuffed it back into the wardrobe. She repeated this for a few rounds before finally choosing a refreshing aqua-blue nightdress. After she casually changed into it for herself, she turned around and went to the dressing table again. She turned on the hairdryer. She wanted to blow her wet hair, but a slender figure suddenly bumped into the clean dressing mirror.

Luo Xichen stood on the balcony and looked at her sitting in front of the dressing table through the clean and bright glass. The light shone on half of her face, leaving a blurred silhouette. Her deep eyes were dazzling in the night.

Thump!

Sha Zhixing looked at him in shock. The hairdryer in her hand fell to the ground with a thud

Why... why was he here?

Did he see it? Did he see everything?

She wanted to slap herself as she thought of the series of actions she had taken when she came out of the bathroom as if there was no one else around.

She had actually walked around in front of him!

"Why are you here?" Sha Zhixing tried her best to stay calm and did not let her reaction be too embarrassing.

"I've been here for quite a while." Luo Xichen's voice was indifferent and casual.

"Why didn't you say anything when you came?" Sha Zhixing had a violent urge to kill Luo Xichen.

"I thought you would find out by yourself." Luo Xichen was not embarrassed at all.

Sha Zhixing was speechless.

Luo Xichen had been standing in the room for quite a while. When he entered the room, he saw that the bathroom light was on. He guessed that Sha Zhixing was inside and went to the balcony to wait. He did not expect her to enter his sight in such a 'different' way. He did not expect her to make such a series of actions. He did not expect that she had not noticed him even after he had been standing outside for so long.

Did his presence decrease?

"You go out first!" Sha Zhixing looked at her pajamas, which did not cover much of her body, and her face blushed suspiciously.

Luo Xichen glanced at her body and said, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in plain porridge."

It was a lie. It was definitely a lie!

Luo Xichen said so, but when he thought of what he had just seen, his mouth became very dry.

In fact, Sha Zhixing had a good figure. Although she was not plump, her curves were exquisite. Her fair skin was delicate and fragile. Under the light, it emitted a faint halo. Her long hair spread out and fell on her chest, outlining a black and white picture. Her beauty was fresh and not flirtatious. She was like an elf walking out of a green field, ethereal and beautiful.

His gaze sized her up from head to toe, and his gaze darkened a little...
