Chapter 871: Shameless Guan Lei


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


After parting ways, Li Zhe led Meng Yu away.


Watching the two figures leave, those left behind couldn’t help but sigh.


“Xi, shall I take you back?” Guan Lei withdrew his gaze and looked at Shen Xi.


Shen Xi did not refuse Guan Lei’s kindness. After bidding farewell to Guan Yan and his wife, Shen Xi got into Guan Lei’s car.


“Do you think Li Zhe is selfish for leaving everything behind at home, disregarding parents and elders, and being with Meng Yu, causing pain to the family and instability to the company?” Shen Xi asked, looking ahead.


Guan Lei’s slender hands rested on the steering wheel, and he spoke gently, “Even if he followed the family’s arrangements and separated from Meng Yu, there’s no guarantee that the pain would vanish, or that the company would thrive without challenges, isn’t that so?”


Seeing that Shen Xi remained silent, Guan Lei sighed softly and said, “Xi, during the four years we were apart, Li Zhe also separated from Meng Yu.


During those years, Li Zhe lived in a daze, waiting for Meng Yu to come back every day. I believe if Meng Yu didn’t return, Li Zhe might not have survived.


The outcome would have been the same for the Li family, don’t you think?”


Shen Xi nodded slightly. She didn’t care about the Li family; she just wanted Meng Yu to be well.


However, she was worried that if something were to happen to the Li family because of Li Zhe, he would certainly blame himself. And knowing Meng Yu’s personality, he wouldn’t feel good about it either.


If this became a knot in their hearts, it would be challenging to unravel it in the future.


Guan Lei sighed softly and helplessly said, “Xi, didn’t you notice something else?”


Puzzled, Shen Xi cast a sidelong glance at Guan Lei’s profile. “What else?”


“In the four years we were apart, I missed you a lot,” Guan Lei looked ahead, expressing the longing of those four years. “I missed you a lot, but I didn’t dare to think about you. So, besides work, I spent every day studying, afraid that if I stopped, I would miss you until my heart ached.”


Shen Xi withdrew her gaze from Guan Lei and asked softly, “Why did we break up back then?”


Guan Lei hesitated for a moment but honestly replied, “1 thought you were with Meng Yu, and I didn’t want to ruin that for you. So, I initiated the breakup. But four years later, we got back together!”


Guan Lei hurriedly added the latter sentence, fearing Shen Xi might misunderstand.


Shen Xi was incredulous that they had broken up for such a reason. She became furious instantly. “Guan Lei, are you out of your mind? Meng Yu and l? How is that even possible? You’re truly magnanimous, giving up a girlfriend so easily!”


Guan Lei felt a bit guilty and awkwardly said, “Well, I realized I was wrong!’ Even though Shen Xi couldn’t remember their past together, just assuming that one day her boyfriend would hand her over to someone else made her furious.


Shen Xi reached out and pinched Guan Lei’s arm hard out of anger. Guan Lei shouted, “Xi, are you trying to murder your husband?”


The next moment, both of them froze.


Shen Xi didn’t know how she had made such an intimate gesture, as if muscle memory guided her to act naturally.


Guan Lei was also a bit surprised, glancing at Shen Xi who was frozen in the passenger seat, feeling a small thrill in his heart. However, he didn’t say anything but silently rejoiced.


In the quiet car, the two returned to the Shen family without speaking.


Shen Xi apologized, feeling a bit embarrassed, “I’m sorry for pinching you earlier. Did it hurt?”


Guan Lei remained silent but extended his arm to Shen Xi. With a smirk, he said, “It didn’t hurt, but it hurt more when you’re aroused! If you want to keep pinching, feel free to continue. I don’t mind!”


Shen Xi had genuinely intended to apologize, but Guan Lei turned out to be shameless and a bit of a rogue.


Feeling irritated, Shen Xi reached out and pinched a piece of skin on Guan Lei’s arm, twisting it a few times. Before Guan Lei could retaliate, she swiftly got out of the car.


Guan Lei watched Shen Xi’s triumphant look without getting angry, just shaking his head affectionately.


Shen Xi, with slightly flushed cheeks, returned to her room, cursing Guan Lei for being vulgar and shameless several times before gradually calming her chaotic thoughts.


The next day, the news about Li Zhe and Meng Yu spread widely. When Li Yuan and his group hurried back to Hai City, the chairman’s office was already crowded with the so-called elders of the family..
