Shen Xi was a little surprised. She smiled. âYouâre honest. Why?â
Gu Chen then stopped eating and looked at Shen Xi with a burning gaze. â1 1 donât want to lie too much to you. Otherwise, I wonât be able to cover it up in the future. As for the reason, itâs naturally because I want to take advantage of the time you lost your memory to get along with you. But donât worry, itâs not a big problem. Besides, 1 canât shake the two large corporations. Itâs just a small move.â
Shen Xi looked straight into Gu Chenâs eyes and asked with a smile, âWhy must you be with me? Many girls in this world are better than me, kinder than me, cuter than me, purer than me, and prettier than me. Besides, look in the mirror yourself. Youâre prettier than me.â
âDidnât you say it before? Liking a person was not only because of their appearance, but also because of their charisma, character, and the atmosphere they interacted with. I think itâs probably because of the atmosphere. From the first time we met, when you helped me pick up the ball, I felt that the atmosphere between us was very good. It was so good that I wanted to stay with you for the rest of my life.â Gu Chenâs tone was calm, but his eyes were filled with affection.
Shen Xi didnât expect Gu Chen to like her because of a ball.
âWhereâs your ball?â she asked with a smile.
âIâve put it away. I donât need that kind of thing to relieve my mental pressure now.â Gu Chen answered honestly.
Shen Xi didnât continue asking. she lowered her head and ate her breakfast silently.
Gu Chen did not continue. He just looked at Shen Xi silently and enjoyed what he thought was a wonderful breakfast.
He did not expect that just having breakfast with Shen Xi at home would make him feel happy.
So, how could he bear to let go of someone who could make his life better?
Halfway through the meal, Qian Tong came in from outside and whispered a few words to Gu Chen.
âTell them to wait in the living room first. Weâll talk after I finish my breakfast,â Gu Chen said calmly.
âYou have guests?â Shen Xi asked curiously.
Gu Chen nodded. âI donât know what happened to the people at the old mansion. Iâll accompany you to have breakfast first. Iâll meet them later and then Iâll come back to accompany you. See if thereâs anywhere you want to go today. Iâll accompany you.â
âShouldnât you be very busy now? Even though I lost my memory, I still went online. The position of general is still vacant, and we donât even know who will take the position. Arenât you afraid that the Guan family will win again?â Shen Xi asked.
Gu Chen shook his head with a smile and said, âThatâs not important to me. Let the Liu family fight for it themselves. Right now, accompanying you is the most important thing for me.â
âYou look like the kind of fatuous ruler who only wants beauty and doesnât want the country.â Shen Xi teased with a smile.
âIf that beauty was you, Xi, I wouldnât be afraid of being a stupid ruler. Iâm not a good person either, so itâs not bad to be stupid.â Gu Chen said jokingly.
The two of them kept talking, so much so that Gu Chen did not want this breakfast to end.
He had a feeling that every minute and second he spent with Shen Xi was very precious. It was so precious that every second spent together would mean that they would spend less time together in the future.
Finally, breakfast was over. Gu Chen said to Shen Xi gently, âXi, watch TV in the living room and play for a while. Iâll be back to accompany you soon.â
Shen Xi fiddled with the remote control nonchalantly. âAlright, I understand. Hurry up and go.â
After Gu Chen left, Shen Xi changed the TV channel to boredom. Finally, she asked the nanny in the kitchen, âAuntie, are there any books here? Give me a few books to read to relieve my boredom.â
âThere are books in Mr Gu t s study, but he doesnât usually allow people to go to his study,â the nanny said after thinking for a moment.
âYouâre not letting people in?â Shen Xi chuckled. âThen 1 went in yesterday. Thereâs nothing wrong.â
The nanny thought for a moment and then smiled. âl was wrong. Ms. Shen Xi is Mr. Gu t s distinguished guest. She is naturally different from us.â
Shen Xi got up and patted her skirt. Then, she said,â Gu Chen will come back later. Tell him that Iâm in the study.â
âAlright, Ms. Shen Xi.â the nanny replied.
Shen Xi went straight to the study room. She did not go to read. She went straight to the secret room to look for the man she had seen before..
