Watching Meng Yu’s slightly awkward and avoidant expression, Li Zhe captured the essence in just a second. “Ah Yu, could it be that you lied just to stay with me?” he asked.
“Director Li, enough about that. Let’s hurry back,” Nieng Yu said, shaking off Li Zhe’s hand, putting on a mask, and hastily heading outside.
Nieng Yu was visiting the Guan family for the first time and did not know how to exit from the inner courtyard. So, he retraced his steps back to the garden and left through its main gate.
Thus, everyone in the garden witnessed the scene of Li Zhe chasing after Meng Yu.
Li Zhe followed behind Meng Yu like a monkey, repeatedly asking, “Did I get it right? Tell me, is it like this? Is it?”
Shen Xi snapped out of her daze and, blinking her eyes, looked at Guan Lei. “Guan Lei, you’ll have even more negative gossip now.”
Guan Lei saw Li Zhe without a mask and wig, following behind Meng Yu, with a filthy face, dancing along as they passed through the garden. He felt a suffocating sensation.
At this point, whispers started to fill the surroundings. Shen Xi and Guan Lei instantly found themselves at the center of a lively discussion.
“Oh my, did I see that correctly? Weren’t those two the Young Master and his companion?”
“No, the companion is a guy, right? That’s why he’s so tall!”
“I can’t believe it! Isn’t this exciting? I thought Young Master Guan liked tall, athletic girls, but he seems to prefer guys.”
“Oh my, why did they even set us up for blind dates? Young Master doesn’t like
“You have to admit, Young Master is really brave. He’s coming out in front of so many people at this party. That takes courage.”
“Agreed, Young Master even had his boyfriend dress up as a girl and they were dancing together in front of everyone. That’s impressive.”
Shen Xi looked at Guan Lei’s increasingly darkened face and nearly burst into laughter.
She leaned in closer to Guan Lei’s ear and teased, “So, this is what you wanted me to see today, your own entertainment?”
Guan Lei’s face turned as dark as a pot bottom. He never expected things to turn out this way. His intentions had not been fulfilled, his reputation was tarnished, and worst of all, he inadvertently helped Li Zhe. It was infuriating.
As the party gradually lost its charm due to “Guan Lei’s” departure, Shen Xi felt it was time to leave.
Worried that it was getting late, Guan Lei informed Guan Bo and Zhao Yuan and then escorted Shen Xi to the styling studio. After she removed her makeup, Guan Lei finally took Shen Xi home.
The car stopped at the entrance of the Shen family villa. Guan Lei held onto Shen Xi for a while, reluctant to part. After some tender moments, Shen Xi finally left.
But as soon as Shen Xi entered the house, she noticed her parents’ strange gazes. She became anxious, wondering if her outing with Guan Lei had been discovered by her parents.
Shen Xi changed her shoes and nervously approached her parents, asking,
“Mom, Dad, what’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?” Lu Shan let out a sigh and said, “We heard that this Guan Lei is gay.”
Shen Xi’s eyes widened in shock. Had this news spread so quickly?
Lu Shan saw Shen Xi’s expression and thought she did not believe it, so she quickly grabbed her phone and showed it to Shen Xi.
Shen Xi took the phone and looked at the pictures inside.
There were not many photos, just two. One showed “Guan Lei” wearing a peony mask, being spun around by a girl in front of him. It seemed to be taken by someone nearby, and even the hickeys on “Guan Lei’s” neck were quite clear.
The other photo showed “Guan Lei” hurrying away with the peony mask, followed by a short-haired, unmasked man. However, this man’s clothing was identical to the girl who had been holding Guan Lei earlier.
Shen Xi’s head was buzzing as she asked Lu Shan, “So, what’s the situation now? Are they saying that Guan Lei is gay?”
Lu Shan nodded seriously, “It’s already spreading like wildfire, and many people are trying to find out who the man in drag is.”
Shen Xi suddenly felt relieved. Li Zhe had worn makeup today, and it was applied quite evenly. As a result, many people could not recognize him.
Otherwise, it would have been a disaster for both the Guan and Li families.
One was the only son of the Guan family in Beijing, and the other was the only son of the Li family in Hai City. If these two ended up together, the entire social circle would explode.
Of course, the fact that Guan Lei was now known to be gay was already quite explosive in itself..
