She did not know what Guan Lei had been busy with recently. On the day Shen Xi finished her exams, she met Guan Lei, who looked exhausted.
“What’s wrong with you? Did something happen? You don’t look fine.” Shen Xi asked with concern.
“Nothing much.” Guan Lei shook his head.
Guan Lei did not know how to tell Shen Xi about his family matters. He had been trying to convince his parents for the past two days, but he still could not change their decision. They had always believed that even if the mastermind had appeared, Meng Yu was still the key to Guan Miao’s impulse.
Guan Lei sighed helplessly.
Since Guan Lei did not want to say it, Shen Xi did not want to ask too much. She just held onto Guan Lei’s hand and said, “Don’t think too much about it. I’ll feel sorry for you.”
When Guan Lei heard Shen Xi’s words, the gloom in his heart dissipated a little. He held Shen Xi’s hand and said, “Yes, yes, I don’t want to. How was it? How did you feel about today’s exam?
Shen Xi dragged out her voice and replied with a “hmm”. Then, under Guan
Lei’s curious gaze, she said proudly, “I naturally performed as usual.”
Guan Lei rubbed Shen Xi’s nose lovingly and said, “Then I’ll take you to eat delicious food as a reward.”
Shen Xi’s eyes sparkled as she smiled sweetly. “Yes, yes, Let’s go to the Beijing Roast Duck restaurant you mentioned last time. I’ve been craving for a long time.”
“Alright!” Guan Lei’s eyes were filled with tenderness. Then, he pulled Shen Xi up and gently helped Shen Xi put on a scarf. “It’s cold outside, so wrap it up properly.”
Shen Xi’s heart was filled with Guan Lei’s gentleness and thoughtfulness. She stood on his tiptoes and kissed Guan Lei on the cheek, and said happily, ‘Good!”
Guan Lei’s heart was itching to kiss her back, but Shen Xi pulled him out of the door and said impatiently, “Hurry up, let’s eat some roast duck.”
Looking at Shen Xi’s mischievous expression, Guan Lei shook his head helplessly. Then, he brought Shen Xi to a famous roast duck restaurant in Beijing.
In the brightly lit Gu family, Gu Chen was gently stroking a ball on his furry coat. The ball was not big, and it just fits in Gu Chen’s hand.
“Miss Shen and Young Master Guan are at Defu Building in Beijing.” Assistant Qian Tong reported to Gu Chen.
“Is that so? Looks like the exam went well.” Gu Chen’s voice was lazy and a little careless.
However, only Qian Tong, who had been by Gu Chen’s side, knew that Gu Chen was not in a good mood now because Gu Chen had squeezed the small ball until it was about to be deformed.
“Go down and continue to watch.” Gu Chen’s voice was still calm.
Qian Tong nodded and gently closed the door after he left.
“Such an outstanding girl shouldn’t be kept in the dark, right? Why don’t I help her? What do you think?” Gu Chen’s gaze fell on the ball that was deformed by his grip and he said calmly.
Looking at the squeaking sound of the ball, Gu Chen nodded and said, “It seems that you also agree with my method, right? That’s true. Helping others is also a good deed.”
Shen Xi enjoyed Guan Lei’s service with a satisfied expression. Her eyes were filled with satisfaction. She happily said to Guan Lei, “Next.”
Guan Lei could not help but smile as he looked at Shen Xi. Then, he nimbly and elegantly wrapped the slices of roast duck and shredded vegetables, dipped them in sauce, and fed them to the little glutton, Shen Xi.
Shen Xi puffed out her cheeks and praised, “This restaurant tastes really good. Guan Lei your wrapping skills are also not bad.”
“Eat well. Don’t choke.” Guan Lei said worriedly, “I’ll get you some juice. Wait a moment.”
Shen Xi nodded obediently. “Help me get a charger while you’re at it. My phone’s almost out of battery. I only have 5% left.”
Guan Lei nodded.
Looking at Guan Lei’s back view, Shen Xi picked up a piece of wrap and planned to wrap one himself. She had already said that her hand was fine, but Guan Lei still treated her as a patient and did not let her do anything.
It was not easy for Guan Lei to leave, so she naturally wanted to try it herself.
Just as she got the wrap, Shen Xi received a message from Gu Chen: Xi, I have some clues about the person you mentioned. He happens to be in Beijing these few days. Do you want to come over and see if it’s him? Because he will be leaving Beijing today.
Shen Xi was instantly shocked. Before she could swallow the food in her mouth, she immediately replied to the text: Send me your address. I’ll be there right away.
The next second, Gu Chen sent the address over..
