Outside, two figures lurked suspiciously and heard the lively frolic inside, which eased their minds considerably.
They hoped for Shen Xi to be with Guan Lei, relieving them of the concern that Gu Chen might try to lure her away.
Inside the room, after Guan Lei had teased Shen Xi for a while, the two of them went downstairs to have a meal.
Lu Shan was delighted and kept urging Shen Xi and Guan Lei to eat more, suggesting they should plan an outing some time.
Shen Xi shook her head and said, “I’ll go to the hospital to check on Gu Chen later; 1 won’t go out to play.”
Her words instantly silenced the people around her, and they all sighed in resignation.
Guan Lei smiled and said, “Then I’ll accompany you later.”
Shen Xi glanced at Guan Lei a few times and finally nodded.
Shen Yan and Lu Shan exchanged glances, and their moods improved a bit. They decided to take things slow.
In the hospital, Su Rui and Su Han unexpectedly found Gu Chen alone, and they locked eyes with him in mutual bewilderment.
Su Rui asked in confusion, “Where’s Lei?”
Gu Chen’s face didn’t look good, and he didn’t even have the mood to respond.
At this moment, Su Han looked at Gu Chen and asked, “What’s your relationship with Shen Xi?”
After returning home that day, Su Han and Guan Yan discussed and decided to let Guan Lei make his own decision. If Guan Lei was determined to be with Shen Xi, they, as parents, would support him.
But now, seeing Gu Chen, Su Han couldn’t help but ask to confirm Gu Chen and Shen Xi’s relationship.
Gu Chen lazily lifted his eyes to look at Su Han and smiled faintly, “Xi said I’m the lover in her memories.’
Gu Chen spoke the truth, but it left an unpleasant look on Su Han’s face. According to Gu Chen, Shen Xi was still clinging to him.
Shen Xi had already moved on, so what was her son holding on to?
On the side, Su Rui was very satisfied with Gu Chen’s answer.
After a moment of silence, they heard Guan Lei’s voice, “Mom, why are you here?”
Su Han said indignantly, “l came to see you.”
Then, Su Han’s gaze fell on Shen Xi, with a hint of anger in her eyes.
Guan Lei felt something was amiss and quickly grabbed Su Han, saying, “Mom, I’ll take you for a walk.”
Su Han shook off Guan Lei’s hand and said, “This is a hospital, not a park.
What’s there to walk around for?”
Ignoring whether Su Han agreed or not, Guan Lei pulled Su Han away.
Guan Lei hadn’t forgotten the scene four years ago when Su Han drove Shen Xi away.
Even though Su Han said she would respect his decision, he thought it was safer to keep her away for now.
Watching Guan Lei and Su Han leave, Su Rui quickly followed.
Shen Xi carried the food prepared by the family’s nanny and placed it on the table, then asked, “How are you feeling today? Did the doctor come to change the dressing?”
Gu Chen, with a faint smile on his face, said, “Better. The doctor said I can be discharged in a couple of days.”
Shen Xi nodded, “That’s good.”
Looking at Shen Xi, Gu Chen hesitated for a moment and then asked, “If I go home, will you still come to see me?”
“Gu Chen, I’ve been thinking these past few days. Since everyone says that the memories I have of us aren’t real, maybe we should separate and not have any more contact. What do you think?” Shen Xi said, looking at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen didn’t expect Shen Xi to say such words, and a sense of sadness filled his heart.
“But I like you. Can’t you give me a chance to pursue you?” Gu Chen asked pleadingly.
Shen Xi, feeling overwhelmed, lowered her head. She couldn’t bear to look into Gu Chen’s emotional eyes; otherwise, her heart and head would ache.
“I need time to sort out my thoughts. I don’t want to live in confusion. I’m sorry!” Shen Xi said quickly, lowering her eyes.
Not hearing Gu Chen’s response, Shen Xi, feeling puzzled, raised her head. The next moment, her gaze was captivated by Gu Chen’s fox-like eyes.
“Xi, I just want to occasionally hang out with you. Is that also not allowed?” Gu Chen said in a low voice.
Shen Xi’s mind was in turmoil. She murmured, “It’s not that it’s not allowed, but…
Before Shen Xi could finish her answer, Gu Chen directly asked, “Since it’s not disallowed, when I’m better, can we try to connect?”
Shen Xi shook her head, trying to shake off the complicated thoughts in her mind.. She wanted to refuse, but the next moment, she answered, “Okay!”
