Shen Xi was a little surprised. She smiled. “You’re honest. Why?”
Gu Chen then stopped eating and looked at Shen Xi with a burning gaze. ‘1 1 don’t want to lie too much to you. Otherwise, I won’t be able to cover it up in the future. As for the reason, it’s naturally because I want to take advantage of the time you lost your memory to get along with you. But don’t worry, it’s not a big problem. Besides, 1 can’t shake the two large corporations. It’s just a small move.’
Shen Xi looked straight into Gu Chen’s eyes and asked with a smile, “Why must you be with me? Many girls in this world are better than me, kinder than me, cuter than me, purer than me, and prettier than me. Besides, look in the mirror yourself. You’re prettier than me.”
“Didn’t you say it before? Liking a person was not only because of their appearance, but also because of their charisma, character, and the atmosphere they interacted with. I think it’s probably because of the atmosphere. From the first time we met, when you helped me pick up the ball, I felt that the atmosphere between us was very good. It was so good that I wanted to stay with you for the rest of my life.” Gu Chen’s tone was calm, but his eyes were filled with affection.
Shen Xi didn’t expect Gu Chen to like her because of a ball.
“Where’s your ball?” she asked with a smile.
“I’ve put it away. I don’t need that kind of thing to relieve my mental pressure now.” Gu Chen answered honestly.
Shen Xi didn’t continue asking. she lowered her head and ate her breakfast silently.
Gu Chen did not continue. He just looked at Shen Xi silently and enjoyed what he thought was a wonderful breakfast.
He did not expect that just having breakfast with Shen Xi at home would make him feel happy.
So, how could he bear to let go of someone who could make his life better?
Halfway through the meal, Qian Tong came in from outside and whispered a few words to Gu Chen.
“Tell them to wait in the living room first. We’ll talk after I finish my breakfast,” Gu Chen said calmly.
“You have guests?” Shen Xi asked curiously.
Gu Chen nodded. “I don’t know what happened to the people at the old mansion. I’ll accompany you to have breakfast first. I’ll meet them later and then I’ll come back to accompany you. See if there’s anywhere you want to go today. I’ll accompany you.”
“Shouldn’t you be very busy now? Even though I lost my memory, I still went online. The position of general is still vacant, and we don’t even know who will take the position. Aren’t you afraid that the Guan family will win again?” Shen Xi asked.
Gu Chen shook his head with a smile and said, “That’s not important to me. Let the Liu family fight for it themselves. Right now, accompanying you is the most important thing for me.”
“You look like the kind of fatuous ruler who only wants beauty and doesn’t want the country.” Shen Xi teased with a smile.
“If that beauty was you, Xi, I wouldn’t be afraid of being a stupid ruler. I’m not a good person either, so it’s not bad to be stupid.” Gu Chen said jokingly.
The two of them kept talking, so much so that Gu Chen did not want this breakfast to end.
He had a feeling that every minute and second he spent with Shen Xi was very precious. It was so precious that every second spent together would mean that they would spend less time together in the future.
Finally, breakfast was over. Gu Chen said to Shen Xi gently, “Xi, watch TV in the living room and play for a while. I’ll be back to accompany you soon.”
Shen Xi fiddled with the remote control nonchalantly. “Alright, I understand. Hurry up and go.”
After Gu Chen left, Shen Xi changed the TV channel to boredom. Finally, she asked the nanny in the kitchen, “Auntie, are there any books here? Give me a few books to read to relieve my boredom.”
“There are books in Mr Gu t s study, but he doesn’t usually allow people to go to his study,” the nanny said after thinking for a moment.
“You’re not letting people in?” Shen Xi chuckled. “Then 1 went in yesterday. There’s nothing wrong.”
The nanny thought for a moment and then smiled. “l was wrong. Ms. Shen Xi is Mr. Gu t s distinguished guest. She is naturally different from us.”
Shen Xi got up and patted her skirt. Then, she said,” Gu Chen will come back later. Tell him that I’m in the study.”
“Alright, Ms. Shen Xi.” the nanny replied.
Shen Xi went straight to the study room. She did not go to read. She went straight to the secret room to look for the man she had seen before..
