Guan Lei’s words made everyone suck in a breath of cold air. Wasn’t this person implying that Gu Chen wasn’t like a man? Although Gu Chen was more beautiful than most women, no one had ever dared to talk about Gu Chen like this. Of course, ordinary people usually did not have the chance to see Gu Chen.
Gu Chen smiled and then said sarcastically, “It’s not as crude as Mr Guan’s.” After saying that, he did not forget to turn to look at Shen Xi and asked gently, “Xi, what do you think?”
Shen Xi met Guan Lei’s gaze and touched her forehead. She felt a chill and chuckled, “People need their own characteristics. It’s good, it’s good. Everyone is unique, different from the others.”
Guan Lei’s eyes were filled with dissatisfaction and accusation as he looked at Shen Xi. Shen Xi shrank her head guiltily and continued, “Our little Guan Guan is quite good like this.”
When Zhao Yuan heard the words “little Guan Guan”, her face turned red with suppressed laughter. She turned her head and chuckled secretly.
Guan Lei did not mind and turned to look at Gu Chen proudly. He did not say anything, but every cell in his body seemed to be saying arrogantly, Did you hear that? I’m Xi’s little Guan Guan. You’re nothing. You don’t have a chance.
Gu Xing looked at Gu Chen and said nothing. She quickly came out to smooth things over and said, “Xi is right. Everyone has their own good points. They are all unique. Come, Chen, let Aunt push you in. There is still an opening dance later.”
When everyone heard the opening dance, they looked at Gu Chen’s legs in disbelief.
Didn’t they say that Gu Chen couldn’t stand up? Why would they arrange for the opening dance segment? Wasn’t this a blatant slap to Gu Chen’s face? They did not know what the Gu family meant by this.
Shen Xi also did not understand the meaning of the opening dance. If it was not arranged by the Gu family themselves, Shen Xi would have suspected that the Gu family’s enemy deliberately wanted to see Gu Chen make a fool of himself.
Gu Chen nodded and said to Shen Xi gently, “Xi, I’ll leave you guys to play. I’ll be out in a while.”
Shen Xi nodded, and Zhao Yuan whispered into Shen Xi’s ear, “Xi, now I’m sure that Gu Chen has his eyes on you. Otherwise, why would he call you Xi and me Zhao Yuan? He talked to you especially but ignored me. Also, he opened your gift and put it on himself. He’s definitely interested in you.”
Shen Xi panicked and quickly looked at Guan Lei. Luckily, Guan Lei did not seem angry, so she heaved a sigh of relief.
Guan Lei turned around and looked at Shen Xi. Shen Xi’s heart, which had just calmed down, instantly rose to her throat again. She clearly did not do anything, so why did she feel guilty when she met Guan Lei’s gaze?
Guan Lei sighed helplessly. Why was his Xi so attractive to others? He thought it would be better to find a place to hide her away, away from the covetous eyes of the outside world.
However, when he thought of Shen Xi’s personality, Guan Lei was a little scared. If he really locked Shen Xi up, Shen Xi would probably cut off all ties with him the next day.
Guan Lei approached Shen Xi with resignation and held her hand. He said, “I’m not angry, I just feel uneasy. It bothers me when I see others eyeing the person who belongs to me.”
Shen Xi held Guan Lei’s hand and said, “Don’t worry. Since I promised you to date me after graduation, I won’t go back on my word unless you don’t want me anymore.”
“How could I not want you? I won’t.” Guan Lei immediately made his stance clear.”
Shen Xi smiled. “Then what are you worried about? Alright, since we’re already here, let’s eat and drink well.”
Seeing Shen Xi’s smile, Guan Lei’s bitter expression instantly disappeared. He nodded and said, “Alright!”
Shen Xi brought Zhao Yuan and Guan Lei around to eat and drink. She looked around, but still couldn’t find any trace of her benefactor. She couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.
Thinking that perhaps that person would come later, Shen Xi continued to rea.s.sure herself, “It’s okay, we’ll find the person.”
Seeing Guan Lei beside her, Shen Xi didn’t even raise her head and casually asked, “Guan Lei, you said that you would use the painting to help me find a person. How’s the search going?”
Guan Lei’s hand that was holding the fruit suddenly paused. His eyes flickered as he said, “I haven’t found the person yet. You… Are you in a hurry?”
“It’s alright. It’s fine.” Shen Xi didn’t mind. Anyway, she had plenty of time. Since she could meet the person before, she should be able to meet the person again in the future.
Guan Lei nodded silently and didn’t say anything else.
When Guan Lei heard Shen Xi say “My little Guan Guan,” he felt extremely happy, but now he felt equally disappointed..
