Chapter 548: Wanting to Explain

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Arent you guys not together yet? Cant you consider me? Gu Chens voice carried a hint of disappointment.

Gu Chen, Im sorry. Shen Xi still did not change her mind.

Gu Chen pretended to be relaxed and smiled. However, although you rejected me, I still like you. Like you, I have a small heart that can only accommodate one person.

Shen Xi did not want Gu Chen to waste time on her. She wanted to persuade him, but Gu Chen spoke first. Dont persuade me, just like I wont persuade you not to like Guan Lei. I just want you to know that I will always be behind you. As long as you turn around, I will always be there.

Shen Xi sighed slightly. Other than helplessness, she did not know what else to say.

On the other end of the phone, Gu Chen was in high spirits. He was sharing his next arrangements with Shen Xi. Hearing Gu Chens plans for the future, Shen Xi was not as lifeless as before.

Slowly, Shen Xi fell asleep along with Gu Chens pleasant voice.

Hearing the even and light breathing on the other end of the phone, Gu Chen closed his eyes and imagined that one day, the girl could really lie beside him and fall asleep with him in her arms.

It was not until the next day when Shen Xi picked up her phone that she realized that she had been charging the phone all night while talking to Gu Chen on the phone.

She was really lucky that her phone did not explode.

On the other end of the phone, Gu Chen heard the commotion on Shen Xis side. His happy voice overflowed as he said dotingly, Xi, good morning! Shen Xi was instantly shocked and quickly replied awkwardly, Good morning!

Then Ill hang up. Remember to eat well! Shen Xi could hear the joy and smile in Gu Chens voice through the phone.

However, Shen Xi was a little dazed. There was someone like him who would say good night to her in the past, but now, this person was ignoring her.

Shen Xi decided to ask Guan Lei out. She wanted to explain this matter personally. Of course, she also wanted to know what Guan Leis current att.i.tude was.

Shen Xi sent Xue Li a voice call, which shocked Xue Li, who was reporting the attack on the island by Guan Bo to Guan Lei. He quickly left Guan Leis study and asked in a low voice, Ms. Shen Xi, whats the matter?

Xue Li, I want to see Guan Lei. I didnt mean to lie about Meng Yu. Shen Xi said.

Xue Li glanced at Guan Lei, who was sitting in the study with a low pressure, and said awkwardly, Ms. Shen Xi, Brother Lei said that I shouldnt tell him anything about you in the future, so Im sorry.

Hearing Xue Lis words, Shen Xi was stunned. She asked in disbelief, What did you say?

Im sorry, Xue Li sighed. I can only follow Brother Leis orders.

Shen Xi tried her best to tell herself to not be angry, but she could not help but clench her fists. Even her breathing was filled with anger.

It was Guan Lei who had provoked her first, so why should he leave just like that? Even if he wanted to leave, shouldnt he say it clearly in person? What was the point of leaving without saying goodbye?

The emotions that Shen Xi had been suppressing for the entire day finally exploded in the evening. She took out her phone and immediately asked someone to check the Guan familys residence. She brought Shen Luan and Lu Fei and rushed straight to the Guan family.

When she arrived at the Guan family to look for him, she was told that Guan Leis family was holding the Guan Corporations New Year banquet at the hotel today.

When Shen Xi was stopped at the entrance of the banquet hall, she suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. She did not expect that one day, she would need an invitation to see Guan Lei.

Just as Shen Xi turned her head, Li Jin appeared in front of her in a luxurious outfit and said with a mocking expression, Isnt this Shen Xi? Why? Cant you enter without an invitation?

Shen Xi did not want to bother with Li Jin. She walked around Li Jin and wanted to leave, but w.a.n.g Lei beside suddenly stopped her and said with a smile, Actually, if you want to go in, I can bring you in. Although I had a small conflict with you at the Shen familys birthday banquet, Im generous and wont hold it against you.

Move aside! Shen Xi was in a very bad mood at the moment and did not want to talk nonsense with these unrelated people.

However, Li Jin would not let go of the opportunity to humiliate Shen Xi. She had heard that Guan Lei had not met with Shen Xi since he returned to the Guan family.

For a country b.u.mpkin like Shen Xi, Guan Lei would only occasionally get interested and play around with her.. When he really recovered his ident.i.ty, how could he be interested in someone like Shen Xi?
