6: He became a different person
Su Mianmian saw the man outside about to knock on the door; perhaps he hadn't expected the door to open from the inside, and his eyes flashed with surprise when he saw her.
Su Mianmian, of course, was even more surprised; she almost doubted her own existence.
She hadn't expected a handsome man to be standing outside the door the moment she opened it.
Su Mianmian almost thought she had transmigrated again.
This time, she hadn't transmigrated to the apocalypse, but to a land of handsome men.
The man in front of her was very tall, probably over 1.9 meters.
He was wearing a high-end black suit, as if he had just returned from some important event.
The man's brows and eyes were sharp, his facial features were smooth, and his nose bridge was so high that Su Mianmian, as a woman, couldn't help but envy it. When she stared at him in surprise just now, she even clearly saw his thick, long eyelashes.
His lips were slightly pursed when he first saw her, and the slight surprise on his face dispelled some of the inherent coldness in his aura.
His lips were thin, and it's said that men with thin lips are heartless. Su Mianmian was quite curious to know if he was truly heartless or not.
Most importantly, this man had a very powerful aura; it was clear he was someone who had long held a high position. When Su Mianmian, who hadn't seen much of the world, saw him, she didn't even dare to look him directly in the eye.
Su Mianmian always felt that his eyes had a charm that could see through people's hearts, as if with just one glance, he could easily grasp her innermost thoughts.
She thought that for her own safety, it would be better to avoid looking him in the eye.
"Mianmian, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Don't you recognize me anymore?"
The man was only surprised for a moment. The reason he didn't speak immediately was because Su Mianmian's expression when she saw him was too amusing.
He was still a little curious about what Su Mianmian was up to this time.
Previously, when he returned, she would either give him a cold shoulder or look at him with disdain. He didn't understand what he had done to offend her.
Now it was even more absurd; she didn't even recognize him.
Shi Xu found it truly interesting.
Was Su Mianmian trying to play some game with him?
Su Mianmian had actually vaguely guessed who the man in front of her was the moment she saw him.
Now, after his question, even a fool would know who he was.
The man standing in front of her should be the person she had just racked her brains to call back.
Shi Xu turned out to be so handsome. When she read the novel, the author hadn't described his appearance much; the author focused more on how incredibly powerful he was.
Su Mianmian had thought Shi Xu was just ordinary-looking, but when she saw him, she realized that Shi Xu was excellent from the inside out!
He was just a little too cold.
Su Mianmian looked at Shi Xu's expressionless face and silently complained in her heart.
She didn't complain for long, because her stomach rumbled again.
"Shi Xu, I'm going to eat first. You can entertain yourself for a bit. After I finish eating, I have something to discuss with you."
"It's very important."
"You can't run away."
When Su Mianmian heard her stomach rumble again, her expression immediately became awkward.
She subconsciously glanced at Shi Xu. Sure enough, although Shi Xu still had an expressionless face, if one looked closely, there was a hint of amusement in his gaze towards her.
He was mocking her, wasn't he?
Su Mianmian felt that if she couldn't beat Shi Xu, she would definitely fight him.
He dared to mock her, really... Su Mianmian, in a fit of anger, got angry.
"You're not going to bring up divorce again, are you?"
"I think we should both think about this carefully first, especially you."
"Don't you think we got along quite well before?"
"Why do you suddenly want to divorce me so resolutely now?"
Shi Xu seemed genuinely unaware of the reason. He looked at Su Mianmian with a slightly bewildered expression, his tone also carrying a hint of confusion.
He truly didn't understand. He had disliked interacting with women since he was young, and he married Su Mianmian because he wanted to protect her.
To be honest, he really didn't understand women.
He also couldn't figure out why Su Mianmian was fine before, but had changed again now.
What she said about not liking commercial marriages, he didn't even know what to say.
Su Mianmian's reason was too far-fetched; he wasn't a fool and couldn't believe it at all.
Su Mianmian felt that Shi Xu was a bit confused, and he probably also didn't understand why the Original Body's Owner suddenly wanted to divorce him.
She thought it would be good to take this opportunity for the two of them to have a good talk and clear things up.
Su Mianmian always felt that if this issue remained unresolved, it would definitely be a big hidden danger later on.
The Original Body's Owner's problem still had to be solved by her, and Su Mianmian felt a headache just thinking about it.
"Shi Xu, I actually wanted to ask you some things too."
"Let's talk about it later."
"Perhaps if this matter is cleared up, we can go back to how things were."
Su Mianmian couldn't make definitive statements now; if she did, she wouldn't be able to maintain her previous persona.
She didn't want Shi Xu to think she had suddenly changed into a different person.
If Shi Xu knew that a different person had taken over the Original Body's Owner's body, she... she didn't know if Shi Xu would kill her.
Su Mianmian felt scared just thinking about it.
She had a natural fear of Shi Xu.
Shi Xu, however, was quite interested in what Su Mianmian said.
He was a little curious about what Su Mianmian wanted to talk about later.
"You go eat first. I'll wait for you in the room," Shi Xu said to Su Mianmian with a cold expression.
Su Mianmian was chilled by Shi Xu's words. How did she feel this summer was colder than winter?
She shivered unconsciously, nodded, and left impatiently.
Su Mianmian's walking posture, as if a wolf was chasing her, made Shi Xu shake his head helplessly.
As Su Mianmian went downstairs, she happened to meet Butler Li, who was on his way to find Shi Xu.
When he saw Su Mianmian coming down, he gave an expression that said, "I knew it."
Where Shi Xu was, Su Mianmian definitely wasn't; this truth was indeed very true.
Su Mianmian didn't know that Butler Li had misunderstood her coming out to find food. When she saw this unfamiliar man, she subconsciously felt that he must be the butler of this house.
"I want to eat breakfast. Is there anything to eat?"
Su Mianmian spoke quite politely; she didn't speak as assertively as the Original Body's Owner.
This change made Butler Li a little flustered.
He hadn't expected Su Mianmian to return to her previous demeanor, and even be more polite than before. He couldn't react for a moment.
It wasn't until Su Mianmian asked again that he came back to his senses and said, "Yes, yes, yes. If there's nothing you want to eat, I can also arrange for the kitchen staff to make whatever you desire."
