章節 755: No Chili

On the side, Guan Lei played with Shen Xi's hand obediently, and eventually their fingers intertwined, warmth evident in their eyes.

Shen Xi playfully cast a sidelong glance at Guan Lei, then indulged his actions.

Lu Shan, on the other end of the phone, peeked at the sky outside and said, "Alright then, just head straight home later. It's almost time to get off work, and it would be a hassle for you to come over."

Shen Xi nodded quickly and said, "Alright, Mom, I understand."

After hanging up the call with Lu Shan, Shen Xi sighed softly.

Guan Lei noticed Shen Xi's sudden change in mood and tightened his hold on her, saying softly, "Xi, I'll gain your parents' approval."

Shen Xi did not expect Guan Lei to pick up on the cause of her low spirits. Feeling a rush of warmth, she nodded and said, "Okay."

Shen Xi waited for a while, then secretly returned to her own house across the street. Luckily, Lu Shan and Shen Yan had not come back yet.
