Li Yuan was trembling with anger. He raised his hand and fiercely slapped Li Zhe. On the side, Li Dan also looked at Li Zhe with disapproval written all over his face.

Li Jin quickly stepped forward to support the unsteady Li Yuan, asking with concern, “Grandpa, how are you feeling?”

Li Zhe also looked at his grandfather with concern. He had no intention of harming his family, but he couldn’t let go of Meng Yu either.

Meng Yu looked worriedly at Li Zhe. Before he could react, Li Yuan fainted.

Frantically, they rushed Li Yuan to the hospital. What was supposed to be a joyful celebration turned into a mess due to Li Zhe and Meng Yu. After Li Dan and Guan Yi apologized to Old Master Su, they also arrived at the hospital.

However, Guan Yi’s blood pressure surged at the sight of Li Zhe tightly holding Meng Yu’s hand. He felt as though the next moment, he might end up in the emergency room just like Li Yuan.

Guan Yi found it hard to believe that, having weathered the storms of the political arena and confronted gunfire without an elevated heartbeat in the past, his blood pressure was now soaring simply because of his son’s sexual orientation. Life was indeed unpredictable.

Guan Yi shot a furious glare at their tightly clasped hands. He grunted loudly, intending to make them aware of their boundaries.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhe glanced at Guan Yi and tightened his grip on Meng Yu.

Meng Yu gave a brief look to Guan Yi before returning his gaze to the direction of the emergency room.

Guan Yi was enraged. Seated on a bench, he exuded a somber aura.

Shen Xi pursed her lips. It seemed that this time, Li Zhe and Meng Yu were determined.

Guan Lei silently approached Shen Xi. From his pocket, he took out a few candies and handed them to Shen Xi, saying, “Xi, have some candy to fill your stomach. You haven’t had dinner yet.”

Shen Xi stared blankly at the candies Guan Lei offered. She remembered these candies vividly.

Someone had specially arranged for the head chef at Zhuo Ying High School cafeteria to make them for her. However, she couldn’t recall who that person was.

Seeing the familiar candies in Guan Lei’s hands, Shen Xi felt a bit dizzy.

Without thinking, she asked, “Did you arrange for someone to make them?”

Guan Lei, upon hearing Shen Xi’s question, was initially surprised. Then, he widened his eyes with joy and asked eagerly, “Xi, did you remember something?”

Guan Lei’s excitement made Shen Xi feel a twinge of bitterness.

If her past with Guan Lei was real and their love ran deep, how would he face a lover who had forgotten him?

Shen Xi nodded slightly but added with guilt, “l remember these candies. I didn’t know who made it for me before, but now I do, However, even so, I free(w)ebnovel

won’t develop any feelings for you because of this. Do you understand?” freewebnove(l)

Shen Xi’s words extinguished the flame of hope in Guan Lei’s heart. All that remained were scattered remnants, and a trace of bitterness tainted the corners of Guan Lei’s mouth.

Guan Lei knew very well what Shen Xi meant. Just like how he wouldn’t feel happy if someone he didn’t like were to be overly attentive and cook delicious meals for him. Instead, he might even find it annoying and burdensome.

So, Guan Lei could understand Shen Xi’s current stance. Knowing Shen Xi’s personality, she would swiftly sever connections and set clear boundaries when faced with someone she didn’t like, leaving no room for opportunities.

However, Guan Lei couldn’t help but say, “But your rejection of me isn’t that decisive, right? Xi, even if your memories are muddled now, your heart still remembers me. Otherwise, you wouldn’t feel heartache and headache for going against mental and emotional control, right?”

Shen Xi had researched a bit about mental and emotional control as well. However, she couldn’t convince herself to abandon the memory of the wonderful Gu Chen and choose the unfamiliar Guan Lei.

Guan Lei didn’t force Shen Xi. He simply handed the candies to her and said with a smile, “Just a few candies.”

Guan Lei’s affectionate gaze met Shen Xi’s eyes, and she couldn’t help but reach out to take them.

As the familiar sweetness stimulated her taste buds, Shen Xi’s head throbbed slightly. It felt like something wanted to break through but then disappeared without a trace.

Feeling a bit lost, Shen Xi looked at the candy in her hand. Beside her, Guan Lei spoke gently, “Xi, it’s okay. If you stay like this for the rest of your life, I’ll be by your side forever..”
