Chapter 1554: First Birthday Present

Why was she still dead set on Xi Mucheng even though he treated her so badly?

Ning Shu smiled slightly. She was just that scary!

When Ning Shu arrived at Shi Sinan’s room, Xi Mucheng was no longer inside.

Ning Shu heard the sound of the engine outside. From the window, she saw Xi Mucheng driving away from the villa.


Back in the bedroom, Shi Sinan was still wide awake and was holding Xi Mucheng’s gift.

“Go to sleep. It’s late; you need to rest up,” said Ning Shu to Shi Sinan.

Shi Sinan lay down a little uncomfortably. She looked at Ning Shu, who was sleeping next to her, pressed her lips together, and said, “Mom, I…”

Ning Shu turned her head and said calmly, “Sleep. And behave well tomorrow.”

When Shi Sinan saw such a calm Ning Shu, she felt even more uneasy and stopped talking.

She rolled over, turned her back to Ning Shu, and secretly unwrapped the gift. Inside the box was a necklace. It was fine and delicate, with a pink gemstone pendant on top.

Shi Sinan held the necklace in her hand and smiled slightly. It was the first birthday present she had received for her eighteenth birthday.

The next day, the villa was all busy for the evening party. The living room was large enough for the party, and it was stacked with towers of champagne and all kinds of food. The waiters in tuxedos were shuttling about everywhere.

After Xi Mucheng drove away last night, he didn’t come back until the party was about to start.

The designer was styling Shi Sinan.

Ning Shu pushed open the door and walked in. Upon seeing the beautifully dressed Shi Sinan, she smiled and said, “Shi Sinan looks so beautiful today. Happy birthday.”

“Thanks, Mom.”

Ning Shu noticed a necklace around Shi Sinan’s neck and asked, “Did the designer pick this for you?”

Shi Sinan shook her head and said, “No. I thought it’s pretty, so I put it on.”

Ning Shu stared at the necklace. This should be Xi Mucheng’s gift to Shi Sinan.

When Shi Sinan saw Ning Shu staring at the necklace, she couldn’t help but press her hand against it and change the subject. “Mom, I’m a little nervous.”

“It’s fine. I’ll go down with you later.” Ning Shu consoled her.

The guests were arriving one after another.

After the participants all arrived, the old man gave a speech of thanks. Amid the applause, Ning Shu slowly walked down the stairs while holding Shi Sinan’s arm.

Ning Shu noticed that Shi Sinan was a little nervous, so she patted her hand. “It’s alright.”

She took Shi Sinan to introduce her to the elders. Facing unfamiliar people, Shi Sinan was a bit reserved. She greeted them however Ning Shu told her to, not saying much. She seemed very absent-minded.

From time to time, Shi Sinan scanned the entire banquet hall, but she didn’t see her uncle’s figure.

She was a little disappointed. It must have been something that happened last night that made her uncle angry.

Shi Sinan touched the necklace around her neck, hoping that her uncle would be able to attend the banquet.

In Shi Sinan’s heart, Xi Mucheng had replaced her missing father, although sometimes it felt weird and her heart would beat faster in the presence of her handsome uncle.

Nonetheless, her heart was indeed filled with joy at the sudden arrival of this uncle in her life.

Ning Shu also looked around. None of them had seen Xi Mucheng. Where did this person die off to?

Just as Ning Shu was searching for Xi Mucheng, all the lights in the banquet hall suddenly went out. The abrupt darkness caused a commotion.

Ning Shu reflexively held Shi Sinan’s arm and said loudly, “Don’t worry, everyone. It’s just tripped. The lights will be back in a minute.”
