Chapter 856 - 856: Planning to Get Married
Initially, she had no intention of getting involved with Gu Chen, but against her better judgment, she had agreed to keep in contact with him.
She had wanted to keep her distance from Guan Lei, but he stuck to her like a plaster, and now Guan Lei seemed even more likely to be the person she had unintentionally killed in her past life.
All these thoughts churned in Shen Xi’s mind, causing a headache that felt like her head could explode.
When Guan Lei entered, he saw Shen Xi in this state. Hurrying forward, he picked up the medicine from the bedside table and promptly shoved it into Shen Xi’s mouth, feeding her some water to help her swallow.
“Xi, why aren’t you taking medicine for your headache?” Guan Lei asked, holding Shen Xi tightly.
Shen Xi pushed Guan Lei away, her eyes glaring at the man before her. She wanted to ask the questions in her heart, but she didn’t know how.
“Xi, what’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Did something happen? Talk to me,” Guan Lei asked, his face full of concern.
After a long pause, Shen Xi shook her head silently.
The next day, Shen Xi was whisked away to the mall by Su Han. For the entire morning, she found herself trailing behind a group of people carrying bags from various brands.
“Auntie, isn’t this enough? It’s too much. I can’t wear all of this for a single banquet,” Shen Xi tried to persuade Su Han to stop this shopping spree.
Su Han disagreed, saying, “No way! We’re not even halfway through.”
Shen Xi glanced at Guan Lei beside her. She really wanted to ask for help, but at this moment, she felt that they weren’t close enough, and she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
Guan Lei raised an eyebrow at Shen Xi, as if to say, “If you ask me, I’ll help you!”
Understanding Guan Lei’s gesture, Shen Xi rolled her eyes at him and resignedly continued to be dragged along by Su Han.
As the three passed by a men’s suit store, Su Han suddenly turned to Guan Lei and said, “Ah Lei, go in and take a look. Buy a few sets while you’re at it.” Guan Lei, who usually wore tailored suits, frowned and refused, “No need!”
Su Han, with a frustrated look, said, “Why not? Appearances matter, you know?”
With that, Su Han pushed Guan Lei into the suit store, whispering in his ear, “Choose suits according to the dresses we picked for Xi earlier. They need to match her outfits, got it? Silly boy!’
Guan Lei was instantly enlightened; indeed, experience is the best teacher.
Guan Lei suddenly became enthusiastic about picking suits, grabbing several he deemed suitable and heading towards the fitting room.
However, before he could enter, he saw two familiar figures coming out.
“Li Zhe? Meng Yu? What are you two doing here?” Guan Lei asked.
Observing Li Zhe and Meng Yu, the salesperson snuck a mocking, gossip-laden smirk.
Meng Yu blushed with a hint of moisture at the corners of his eyes. His appearance resembled a spring begonia trampled by a torrential downpour, a vivid image that sparked countless imaginative thoughts.
“What were you two doing inside?” Guan Lei sized up the obviously awkward pair, his face filled with playful curiosity.
Meng Yu looked embarrassed and uncomfortable when he saw Guan Lei and the others.
Annoyed, he pinched Li Zhe’s soft waist, blaming him for their predicament. It was all because of Li Zhe’s habit of fooling around outside that they got caught.
Now, they had lost face.
Li Zhe shamelessly took Meng Yu’s hand and said, “We’re here to look at wedding suits.”
Shen Xi looked at Meng Yu and Li Zhe in surprise. “Are you two planning to get married?”
Su Han, standing nearby, also widened her eyes.
She knew about the relationship between Meng Yu and Li Zhe, but she never expected that the two of them were already planning to get married.
Before, she used to worry that Meng Yu would come back to seize the family fortune. Now, seeing the sweet scene before her, she truly believed that Meng Yu had no intention of taking the Guan family’s assets.
The family simply would not accept a homosexual.
Considering the old master’s likely disapproval, things might get complicated.
Meng Yu felt awkward and didn’t know what to say. Li Zhe was displeased and cast a pitiful look at Meng Yu.
Helplessly, Meng Yu nodded and said, ‘Yes, we’re planning to register our marriage abroad.”
Seeing Meng Yu admitting it in front of everyone, Li Zhe took Meng Yu’s hand in delight and wanted to give him a kiss on the hand..
