Chapter 894: Just Unwell

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor:

In the quiet car, Shen Xi felt an impulse to say something. However, her lips mumbled for a while, and in the end, she couldnt bring herself to speak.

Guan Lei chuckled, Xi, you dont have to force yourself to say anything. Todays truth or dare game was unexpected, but I dont deny that I wanted you to know more about us. 1 want you to understand that our feelings are real, and those memories in your mind are implanted, theyre fake.

Shen Xi abruptly spoke, Ive read the materials you sent me about emotional control. So, you should know that its very likely Ill only recognize Gu Chen as my partner for the rest of my life. Even if we have differences, I probably wont betray him and fall in love with someone else.

Guan Lei smiled and said casually, Ive read the information too. So, Ive decided that if this is the outcome, Ill abide by the promise I made to you. Ill pursue you for a lifetime. In short, 1 wont let you be with Gu Chen. If you cant recover for the rest of your life, Ill stand between you and Gu Chen forever, making him miserable every day, giving him thirty-one days of unrest in a month.

Shen Xi was amused by Guan Leis words and said with a wry smile, Why go to such lengths? Why wait a lifetime for someone impossible?

You may have forgotten, but I remember. When we got back together, I promised you that I wouldnt let go in this lifetime for any reason. You spent a lot of time punis.h.i.+ng me, making me believe that you have me in your heart and that you love me. In return, 1 made a promise to you. So, Xi, youre not an impossible person; youre just unwell, Guan Lei spoke in a subdued tone, tinged with a hint of melancholy.

As if recalling something, Guan Leis lips curved gently. Xi, Im someone that youve taken deliberate actions to be with. So, I must protect you. In case one day you wake up and realize the person lying next to you isnt me, but Gu Chen. Knowing your temperament, I believe youd be so furious that you might take me up into the sky in a helicopter and then throw me down, leaving me with no place to rest in peace.

As Guan Lei spoke, he laughed, and his posture carried a sense of loneliness, causing Shen Xi to feel a hint of sympathy.

The person in front of her was someone she had defied all odds to be with, but she couldnt remember. What was she to do?

A rootless, wandering panic instantly crawled up Shen Xis mind. Her heart uncontrollably stabbed with pain, quickly spread with overwhelming force, causing Shen Xi to cover her head.

The pain this time was more severe than the previous episodes. Shen Xi instinctively curled up, feeling as if her head was violently pounded from all sides, on the verge of exploding.

Alarmed, Guan Lei quickly parked the car in a safe area. Familiar with the routine, he took out the painkiller from Shen Xis bag, fed it to her, and then firmly embraced her, gently patting her back with a face full of heartache.

Alright, Xi, lets not think about it. Lets not think about it, Guan Leis heart ached almost to the point of bleeding.

It took a full ten minutes for Shen Xi to slowly recover.

The next day, as a consequence of Guan Leis concern for Shen Xi, he directly reported a violation in one of Gu t s family projects, causing a billion-dollar project to be halted for investigation.

Gu Chen watched the news, his lips curling slightly. He figured that Guan Lei must have faced some setbacks with Shen Xi last night, leading to todays madness.

Facing Guan Leis provocation, Gu Chen didnt hold back either. Soon, a food company controlled by Guans family fell into a food safety crisis. All products were recalled, resulting in a direct loss of at least fifty million.

Most infuriatingly, in the end, nothing was found.

The back-and-forth between the Gu and Guan families aroused suspicion in the business world. Everyone speculated about what had happened between the two families, why they suddenly became so direct, openly attacking each other without restraint.

Meanwhile, news of Li Dans sudden coma reached Beijing from Hai City. Guan Lei, who was planning to confront Gu Chen and let off some steam, suddenly realized that something was amiss.

Guan Lei tried to contact Li Zhe but to no avail. This further unsettled Guan
