Chapter 712 - 712: Putting on the Bracelet

“Xi, don’t worry. I won’t do anything to harm you. I’ll wait until your family accepts me, and then I’ll have you openly,” Guan Lei held Shen Xi tightly and reassured her.

Shen Xi’s family had always been quite critical of him. If they were to find out that he had made a move on Shen Xi, they would probably never look at him favorably again.

He hoped that their love would gain the support of both their families, rather than making Shen Xi suffer and fight for their love against her parents and relatives. It would break his heart.

He would take care of this matter himself.

Shen Xi nodded and embraced Guan Lei, drawing warmth from his body. She softly said, “Alright, I’ll wait for you!’

Guan Lei took out the bracelet Shen Xi had thrown at him four years ago and asked, “Xi, can I put this on you again?”

Guan Lei’s expression was cautious, tinged with apprehension.

Shen Xi smiled gently and nodded in response to Guan Lei’s hopeful gaze.

When Shen Xi had thrown this bracelet away years ago, Guan Lei felt as if his heart had been ripped out. Now, he finally had the opportunity to put it back on Shen Xi, and his hands trembled as he did so.

Shen Xi held Guan Lei’s slightly trembling hand with both of hers and said softly, “Take your time, don’t be nervous. I’m here, I’ve always been.”

Guan Lei’s eyes reddened at Shen Xi’s words. She had been waiting for him all this time, but he had made her wait for far too long.

Finally, with great effort, Guan Lei managed to put the bracelet back on Shen Xi’s wrist.

“My queen, may I prove my loyalty to you with a kiss?” Guan Lei looked at Shen Xi with solemnity.

Shen Xi smiled and nodded.

Guan Lei kissed the bracelet with reverence, just as he had done four years ago. Then, he looked up at Shen Xi and, with her permission, kissed her lips with precision.

He kissed her lips with devotion, and then their kiss grew more passionate.

Guan Lei’s kisses left Shen Xi dizzy and flushed, lying helplessly on the bed. Her ebony hair sprawled on the silky sheets, her rosy lips moved, and you could even hear her faint breath.

At that moment, Shen Xi resembled a vivid rose, enchanting and tempting, waiting to be plucked.

To prevent himself from giving in to his desires, Guan Lei, who had initially intended to stay with Shen Xi until the next morning, reluctantly climbed down from the wall of the Shen family’s house and returned to his own room. He took several cold showers on that freezing day to cool off.

Once his desires had subsided, Guan Lei picked up his phone and sent a message with fierce determination: “Xi, when I have a formal status, I’ll make sure you can’t get out of bed for three days.”

Although Guan Lei had made such a bold statement, he wondered if he could truly bear to let Shen Xi suffer for three days when the time came.

Annoyed, Shen Xi looked at the message from Guan Lei, and she unwittingly conjured an image of his lean and chiseled frame.

She wondered if he had become even more attractive over the past four years.

Shen Xi snapped out of her thoughts, quickly covering her blazing cheeks, and scolded herself inwardly: “You pervert, what are you thinking?”

With Guan Lei’s presence, Shen Xi felt that her monotonous work life had gained some color.

The preparations for the Spring Banquet were in full S’Aing, and Su Han looked at the dreamy garden before her with a sense of accomplishment.

She picked up her phone and informed Guan Lei, “Son, the Spring Banquet decorations are ready. When are you coming over tonight?”

Guan Lei replied with a smile, “I’ll be back in a while.”

After ending the call with Su Han, Guan Lei dialed Shen Xi’s number.

As soon as she answered, Guan Lei’s voice came through in a low tone, “Xi, how about joining the Spring Banquet tonight for some excitement?”

“Excitement?” Shen Xi was curious. A blind date banquet involving Guan Lei what kind of excitement could that be?

“l had my mother arrange a masked ball. It should be interesting. Plus, I want to dance with you,” Guan Lei said.

The ball four years ago had left Guan Lei with unresolved feelings, and now that he had a chance, he wanted to make the most of it, enjoying a romantic evening with Shen Xi while also taking in the festivities.

Shen Xi thought for a moment and then gladly agreed, “Alright, I’ll go take a look. ”

Guan Lei said joyfully, “I’ll wait for you downstairs. I’ll take you to get dressed..
