Am I destined to be cannon fodder? Unlock the system and lead the motherland

Chapter 9 Bian Chi vs Shi He Shen

"Sister Yimeng and our Second Master are a match made in heaven. They are both exceptionally talented, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and are deeply favored by the wealthy elders of East City. If I were Yun Ximo, I would have been tactful and taken the initiative to cancel the engagement, allowing this relationship to continue, rather than becoming that annoying third party."

"Humph, could it be that she came here specifically to find the Second Master, to try to salvage something? After all, she's just a substitute."

"That's absolutely true. We can step into this Crown First Grade only thanks to Master Shi's blessing. Yun Ximo? I haven't heard that she has a membership card here? If it wasn't for Master Shi, why would she appear here for no reason? If she said she was here to see someone else, would you believe it? Haha..." The young man behind him said, "Anyway, I don't believe it."

Shi Heshen appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, the corners of his mouth inadvertently raised a few degrees. He slowly stood up and cast his gaze in the direction of Yun Ximo. Although he was engaged to Yun Ximo and he did not love her, but considering that Yun Ximo was the eldest daughter of the Yun family, he did not mind enjoying the pleasure of being infatuated with her.

Shi Heshen's brows furrowed even more tightly. Noticing that Yun Ximo didn't seem to notice his presence, he strode over. The young masters behind him watched the show with glee.

However, the manager immediately took these young men to the seats that Shi Shao had already reserved.

Yun Ximo couldn't catch up with her dog friend and got separated from him. She was just looking for someone to ask the waiter.

At this moment, a male voice suddenly sounded behind her. Shi Heshen walked slowly in front of her, looking her up and down, his tone revealing displeasure: "Now you finally remember to look for me?"

Before Yun Ximo could speak, Shi Heshen glanced at the expensive watch on his wrist, his words filled with indifference and impatience: "I don't have time to waste with you, and you are not worth wasting my precious time. Chasing me here can't change anything?"

He changed the subject and ordered, "Go to the Qin family immediately and give them a satisfactory explanation."

Yun Ximo’s face was full of question marks: “???” Is there something wrong with your brain?

She looked at Shi Heshen in confusion, and after a moment she suddenly realized that this arrogant man was actually her fiancé.

Yun Ximo laughed angrily: "You feel good about yourself, right? What makes you think I'm here to find you?"

"Do you think I came to Crown One just to chase you? That's ridiculous!"

Shi Heshen frowned, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Stop pretending, this is not the place for you to make trouble, leave now."

Yun Ximo gently rubbed her forehead, her face calm but with a barely perceptible hint of indifference: "I came here to eat, of course. Shi Heshen, you suddenly showed up and pointed fingers at me. Who is disturbing who?"

These words were completely different from her usual obedience to him, and the indifference in them was as cold as ice.

Shi Heshen's expression instantly became complicated, with shock mixed with disbelief. He had never thought that Yun Ximo would talk to him in such an attitude, which completely overturned his perception of her.

Suddenly, a leisurely laugh echoed, tinged with a hint of uninhibited frivolity, yet upon closer inspection, it seemed to contain a hint of indifference and alienation. "When did this happen? I really don't know when the Shi family... became so overbearing and domineering?"
The heir of the Shi family has actually learned the crab walk and is running rampant? He's even being deprived of his meals? "The boy was tall and straight, his posture erect, his black windbreaker slightly open, revealing a few unbuttoned buttons of his white shirt underneath. His skin, against the backdrop of the light, looked even more cool and jade-like, like carefully carved porcelain, emitting a unique luster, creating a breathtaking scene in itself.

Upon hearing this, Yun Ximo slowly turned around, her eyes filled with resentment: "Can't you just walk slower?"

The dog friend chuckled, put one hand leisurely in his pocket, and raised the corner of his mouth. "Didn't I rush back to find you? Remember to follow my pace closely next time."

Shi Heshen watched the two chatting intimately, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out: "I am educating my fiancée, when is it your turn to meddle in other people's business?"

Bian Chi was stunned, and the young master's temper exploded instantly. He couldn't help but say, "Fuck!" Before he finished speaking, "Don't swear!" Yun Ximo's voice sounded from behind him, and at the same time, she held his arms tightly with both hands, as if she was afraid that he would go to Shi Heshen to argue in an impulse.

Bian Chi looked helpless as he turned to look at Yun Ximo, feeling overwhelmed. "I wouldn't go so far as to fight with such a brainless rookie."

"You..." Shi Heshen's face darkened and his brows were furrowed. Although Bian Chi was a playboy who lived off the others, he knew that although the Shi family was strong, it was far inferior to the Bian family.

Bian Chi's slender fingers casually played with the girl's ponytail, with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Shi Heshen: "We are here to eat, Shi Heshen, please don't disturb our elegance here."

When Yun Ximo rolled her eyes, He Shen continued to talk to Bian Chi, "It's tiring to talk to people like this. I'm worried that you'll be tired too."

"Okay, okay, you win." Young Master Bian nodded repeatedly. Although he looked a little unhappy on the surface, he was actually very happy in his heart. See, who said he didn't mean anything to this girl?
Hearing this, Bian Chi raised his lips with a playful smile, and his eyes slightly raised, passing by Shi Heshen, his peach blossom eyes flashing with a deep light. He teased in a nonchalant tone: "Shi Heshen, right? He's just so-so, how come he has become the dream lover in the hearts of Dongcheng socialites?

"The domineering president not only has a bad brain, but also poor eyesight. He is just like those mindless followers. This is indeed true." Yun Ximo stuck out her tongue mischievously at Bian Chi.

"What did you say just now?" Shi Heshen couldn't hear clearly. Thinking that the words out of Yun Ximo's mouth were not nice words to please him, his face couldn't help but become a little gloomy.

"It's nothing, I just mean that your brain and eyesight are not very good, don't you think so?" Yun Ximo smiled as brightly as a flower.

Shi Heshen looked at her with a slightly dazed look in his eyes. Yun Ximo, whom he regarded as a substitute for his lonely entertainment, did not seem so dull and boring. However, this was just a fleeting thought in his mind.

"No rules!" Shi Heshen's face darkened completely. He suspected that Yun Ximo dared to be so unscrupulous because she relied on the face he gave her.

Did she really think he was willing to come pick her up? Did he even consider whether he was qualified?

Seeing this, the manager hurried forward to smooth things over and said respectfully to Shi Heshen, "Master Shi, your friends are waiting for you." Shi Heshen pursed his lips, his jaw line was tense, and his expression was extremely displeased.
