Li Yuan was trembling with anger. He raised his hand and fiercely slapped Li Zhe. On the side, Li Dan also looked at Li Zhe with disapproval written all over his face.

Li Jin quickly stepped forward to support the unsteady Li Yuan, asking with concern, Grandpa, how are you feeling?

Li Zhe also looked at his grandfather with concern. He had no intention of harming his family, but he couldnt let go of Meng Yu either.

Meng Yu looked worriedly at Li Zhe. Before he could react, Li Yuan fainted.

Frantically, they rushed Li Yuan to the hospital. What was supposed to be a joyful celebration turned into a mess due to Li Zhe and Meng Yu. After Li Dan and Guan Yi apologized to Old Master Su, they also arrived at the hospital.

However, Guan Yis blood pressure surged at the sight of Li Zhe tightly holding Meng Yus hand. He felt as though the next moment, he might end up in the emergency room just like Li Yuan.

Guan Yi found it hard to believe that, having weathered the storms of the political arena and confronted gunfire without an elevated heartbeat in the past, his blood pressure was now soaring simply because of his sons s.e.xual orientation. Life was indeed unpredictable.

Guan Yi shot a furious glare at their tightly clasped hands. He grunted loudly, intending to make them aware of their boundaries.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhe glanced at Guan Yi and tightened his grip on Meng Yu.

Meng Yu gave a brief look to Guan Yi before returning his gaze to the direction of the emergency room.

Guan Yi was enraged. Seated on a bench, he exuded a somber aura.

Shen Xi pursed her lips. It seemed that this time, Li Zhe and Meng Yu were determined.

Guan Lei silently approached Shen Xi. From his pocket, he took out a few candies and handed them to Shen Xi, saying, Xi, have some candy to fill your stomach. You havent had dinner yet.

Shen Xi stared blankly at the candies Guan Lei offered. She remembered these candies vividly.

Someone had specially arranged for the head chef at Zhuo Ying High School cafeteria to make them for her. However, she couldnt recall who that person was.

Seeing the familiar candies in Guan Leis hands, Shen Xi felt a bit dizzy.

Without thinking, she asked, Did you arrange for someone to make them?

Guan Lei, upon hearing Shen Xis question, was initially surprised. Then, he widened his eyes with joy and asked eagerly, Xi, did you remember something?

Guan Leis excitement made Shen Xi feel a twinge of bitterness.

If her past with Guan Lei was real and their love ran deep, how would he face a lover who had forgotten him?

Shen Xi nodded slightly but added with guilt, l remember these candies. I didnt know who made it for me before, but now I do, However, even so, I

wont develop any feelings for you because of this. Do you understand?

Shen Xis words extinguished the flame of hope in Guan Leis heart. All that remained were scattered remnants, and a trace of bitterness tainted the corners of Guan Leis mouth.

Guan Lei knew very well what Shen Xi meant. Just like how he wouldnt feel happy if someone he didnt like were to be overly attentive and cook delicious meals for him. Instead, he might even find it annoying and burdensome.

So, Guan Lei could understand Shen Xis current stance. Knowing Shen Xis personality, she would swiftly sever connections and set clear boundaries when faced with someone she didnt like, leaving no room for opportunities.

However, Guan Lei couldnt help but say, But your rejection of me isnt that decisive, right? Xi, even if your memories are muddled now, your heart still remembers me. Otherwise, you wouldnt feel heartache and headache for going against mental and emotional control, right?

Shen Xi had researched a bit about mental and emotional control as well. However, she couldnt convince herself to abandon the memory of the wonderful Gu Chen and choose the unfamiliar Guan Lei.

Guan Lei didnt force Shen Xi. He simply handed the candies to her and said with a smile, Just a few candies.

Guan Leis affectionate gaze met Shen Xis eyes, and she couldnt help but reach out to take them.

As the familiar sweetness stimulated her taste buds, Shen Xis head throbbed slightly. It felt like something wanted to break through but then disappeared without a trace.

Feeling a bit lost, Shen Xi looked at the candy in her hand. Beside her, Guan Lei spoke gently, Xi, its okay. If you stay like this for the rest of your life, Ill be by your side forever..
