Guan Lei held Shen Xi i s hand tightly and said coquettishly, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. In the future, I’ll stay by your side and eat well. I’ll follow you for the rest of my life. I’ll agree to anything even if you want me to eat sh*t.”
Zhao Yuan burst out laughing. This sudden promise was a little awkward.
Shen Xi hit Guan Lei reprimandingly and said with annoyance, “Speak properly!” However, she still did not let go of Guan Lei’s hand.
After saying that, Guan Lei raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Gu Chen provocatively. Since he couldn’t avoid it, he could only be more high-profile and let Gu Chen know that Shen Xi was not someone he could provoke.
Gu Chen looked at Guan Lei and Shen Xi’s interlocked fingers, his eyes dark and unclear, and the smile on his face became even more intense. He was like a bewitching blood-red peony, making people unable to help but be fascinated.
“Xi, since your friend is fine, why don’t we go in now? The weather outside is gloomy, and it will probably snow a little later. It’ll be warmer inside.” Gu Chen
suggested with a smile.
Guan Lei frowned unhappily. Gu Chen actually dared to call Shen Xi by her pet name “Xi” in front of him. He felt that such an intimate address was disrespectful and did not take him seriously.
Shen Xi nodded and called Zhao Yuan who was standing by, and they followed Gu Chen indoors.
At first, they thought that there were not many people, but as soon as they entered the door, they found that there were already quite a few people inside, mingling and chatting while enjoying the fragrance of wine and the sight of beautiful people. It was very lively.
Perhaps the sudden rush of cold air from the open door startled the people inside who were singing and dancing. Everyone turned their gaze toward the group standing at the entrance, and upon seeing it was Gu Chen, they all came forward to congratulate him.
Gu Chen turned his head upwards slightly and looked at Shen Xi expectantly. “Xi, can you help me push the wheelchair? It’s too troublesome to use my hands. If they get dirty, I won’t have clean hands to eat my food later.”
Shen Xi was just about to nod when Guan Lei stepped forward and stood behind Gu Chen’s wheelchair. He placed his hands on the wheelchair naturally and said generously, “How can you let a girl do such a thing? How about I help you?”
Gu Chen laughed softly. “Then I’ll have to trouble you… Mr. Guan.”
Guan Lei snorted and said sarcastically, “Since you know it’s troublesome, don’t let your assistant leave in the future to save trouble for others, right? Mr.
Shen Xi and Zhao Yuan looked at each other. Both of them felt that there was something wrong with Guan Lei and Gu Chen. They seemed to be at loggerheads.
“I’ll take your advice into account. Let’s go. The guests are here. I’ll have to trouble Mr. Guan to push me over to entertain them.” Gu Chen gave the order without hesitation.
Guan Lei gritted his teeth and with a sudden force, almost lifted Gu Chen off the wheelchair.
Zhao Yuan, Shen Xi, and the others who were walking toward them were all shocked.
Zhao Yuan whispered into Shen Xi’s ear, “Xi, I have a feeling that something’s
not right. Is your little Guan Guan jealous? He seems to have so much hostility towards Gu Chen.”
Shen Xi looked at Zhao Yuan in confusion and whispered, “Is that so? That shouldn’t be the case, I don’t like Gu Chen. Why would he be jealous?
Zhao Yuan gave Shen Xi a sidelong glance and lowered her voice, saying impatiently, “You silly girl, you don’t like Gu Chen but what if he likes you? You’re like the prey confined to the territory of Guan Lei. If another hunter sets his sights on you at this point, wouldn’t Guan Lei feel jealous?
“You’re the one who’s the prey. I am a human!” Shen Xi glanced at Zhao Yuan and said firmly.
“Alright, you are not the prey. You are the hunter. So, which one are you hunting?” Zhao Yuan asked.
Shen Xi’s gaze slowly turned to Guan Lei, who was earnestly pushing Gu Chen to socialize with other people. She smiled and said, “That’s naturally my little Guan Guan.”
Zhao Yuan nudged Shen Xi with her shoulder and teased, “Yo, yo, yo, your little
Guan Guan. Aiyo, my teeth are sore. You owe me.”
Shen Xi giggled and gently pushed Zhao Yuan. “Then come and take my tooth yourself. I’ll compensate you with my tooth.”
“Shen Xi, Zhao Yuan, you two are here.” Gu Xing’s voice interrupted the playful banter between the two.
Shen Xi and Zhao Yuan immediately straightened their backs and respectfully greeted, “Professor Gu.”
Gu Xing smiled. “Don’t be so formal. You’re here today as Chen’s friend. Just have fun.”
Shen Xi and Zhao Yuan quickly nodded and said in unison, “Okay.”
Gu Xing nodded at them and said, “Then you guys play, and I’ll go greet the guests.”
After sending Gu Xing off, Shen Xi finally remembered the other purpose of her visit today, which was to find her savior from her previous life. Hence, she
started to look around..
