On the side, Guan Lei played with Shen Xis hand obediently, and eventually their fingers intertwined, warmth evident in their eyes.

Shen Xi playfully cast a sidelong glance at Guan Lei, then indulged his actions.

Lu Shan, on the other end of the phone, peeked at the sky outside and said, Alright then, just head straight home later. Its almost time to get off work, and it would be a ha.s.sle for you to come over.

Shen Xi nodded quickly and said, Alright, Mom, I understand.

After hanging up the call with Lu Shan, Shen Xi sighed softly.

Guan Lei noticed Shen Xis sudden change in mood and tightened his hold on her, saying softly, Xi, Ill gain your parents approval.

Shen Xi did not expect Guan Lei to pick up on the cause of her low spirits. Feeling a rush of warmth, she nodded and said, Okay.

Shen Xi waited for a while, then secretly returned to her own house across the street. Luckily, Lu Shan and Shen Yan had not come back yet.

As soon as Shen Xi entered her home, she received a message from Guan Lei: Xi, I miss you already, just one minute after you left.

A sweet smile lit up Shen Xis face. The auntie, who was nearby, noticed her joy and said, Miss, you seem to be in a very good mood today.

Shen Xi nodded at the auntie and replied, Yes, I am.

Meanwhile, Li Zhe had reinforced the security system of the house and the neighborhood where Meng Yu lived when they returned. By the time everything was set, it was already dusk.

Nieng Yu sat on the couch, watching Li Zhe busy himself for the whole afternoon, while Zeng Rong had been munching on melon seeds.

Director Li, take a break, Meng Yu said, handing him a gla.s.s of water.

Youve been busy all day.

Li Zhe took the gla.s.s from Meng Yu and gulped it down. He then said to Meng

Yu, Ah Yu, Ive set up everything securely. There shouldnt be any problem.

Meng Yu nodded at Li Zhe and said, Yes, I believe youll be fine.

Li Zhe looked out the window. Its already so dark. Ah Yu, you must be hungry. Ill cook for you. How about hot pot for dinner? I had someone bring the hot pot ingredients at noon.

Zeng Rong chimed in, Remember to keep it mild. You should avoid spicy food to prevent any infection, or else youd have to abstain from s.e.xual activities for days.

Zeng Rong was only thinking of Meng Yus well-being, but he was quite straightforward. Meng Yus cheeks turned a deep shade of red.

Li Zhe took Zeng Rongs advice to heart and nodded in agreement. Youre right. I wont add any chili.

Meng Yu maintained his calm but felt extremely embarra.s.sed inside. He said,

Director Li, please hurry up and cook. Im really hungry.

Li Zhe, obediently following his beloveds command, rushed off.

Only then did Meng Yu turn to Zeng Rong and say with difficulty, In the future, you dont need to be so direct.

Zeng Rong put down his melon seeds, saying earnestly, Yu, Im just looking out for you. You have to be clear with him. What if he accidentally serves you spicy food next time after some bedroom activities? I have to ensure your well-being.

Meng Yu felt exasperated when Zeng Rong constantly brought up that topic.

He said wearily, Anyway, please dont discuss it in front of so many people.

Meng Yu needed to make Zeng Rong understand that certain things were inappropriate to discuss in public, otherwise, Zeng Rong might blurt them out in front of even more people next time.

Alright, Ill talk to Li Zhe privately in the future, Zeng Rong said with a

knowing look.

No, lets not talk about it at all. Ill handle it myself, Nieng Yu insisted.

Zeng Rong gave Meng Yu a skeptical look. He could not believe that someone with Meng Yus personality would discuss his discomfort or needs with Li Zhe.

As Meng Yus trusted partner, it seemed he had to be stealthy about it.

Li Zhe quickly prepared dinner, and even Xue Li, who was outside, was invited to join them.

Director Li, your culinary skills are excellent, Xue Li praised Li Zhes cooking without hesitation.

Li Zhe smiled and turned his gaze to Meng Yu. Of course, I learned for Ah Yu.. If its not good, how would I dare to serve it to him?
