After all, the familyâs interests were the most important for high-class disciples like them.
He did not expect to meet the person he had always wanted to meet today. It was a pleasant surprise.
Liu Hui also nodded at Gu Chen generously. Then, she smiled and said, âItâs such a coincidence to meet Master Gu today. Why donât we go to the coffee shop nearby and have a drink?â
âIâm here with someone today, so itâs not convenient. Please forgive me!â Gu Chen rejected politely.
Liu Hui was a little disappointed. The two girls also sized up Shen Xi, who had yet to take off her helmet.
Then, Liu Hui looked at Shen Xi with a gentle expression and invited him sincerely. âI wonder if you would do me the honor of having coffee with me?â
Since she couldnât get Gu Chen, she might as well change the direction and ask the girl next to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen had already said that he was there to accompany someone. If this girl agreed, wouldnât they be together?
The main reason was that Liu Hui wanted more time to get to know Gu Chen, whom she had wanted to see for a long time.
Chang Yi, who was beside them, also laughed. âYeah, I saw that you guys have been skating for a long time. You must be thirsty too. How about we take a break first?â
Looking at Chang Yiâs eager gaze, Shen Xi did not want to reject it. It was just a cup of coffee. It was not a big deal.
Moreover, Liu Hui was interested in Gu Chen. Shen Xi inexplicably wanted to see Gu Chenâs excitement.
âAlright! Letâs go together!â Shen Xi nodded in agreement.
When Shen Xi took off her helmet, the two girlsâ expressions changed from happiness to surprise.
âShen Xi? Young miss Shen?â Chang Yi stared at Shen Xi with wide eyes.
Liu Hui, who was at the side, also sized up Shen Xi curiously.
âYes, I am Shen Xi. Do you know me?â Shen Xi revealed a puzzled expression.
Chang Yi looked at Liu Hui and said, âIâve heard of you before. Iâve also seen you on the Internet a few times, especially this morning. We even saw you on the news just now.â
âWhat news?â Shen Xi was curious.
âMany reports are saying that youâŠâ Chang Yi looked at Gu Chen carefully. Seeing that Gu Chen didnât seem to have any intention of stopping her, Chang Yi continued, âThey said that youâre a fickle woman. First, you seduced the Guan familyâs young master. Now that the Guan familyâs young master is dead, youâre seducing the Gu familyâs leader.â
When Gu Chen heard this, his gentle gaze that was originally looking at Shen Xi instantly turned sharp and turned to Chang Yi.
Chang Yi was so shocked that her back was covered in cold sweat. She immediately explained, âI didnât say that. Thatâs what the report said. It has nothing to do with me. There was even a photo of the two of you dating in the Starry Sky With You last night. I donât know if itâs true or not, but thatâs what the report said.â
Chang Yiâs voice became softer and softer because she saw that Gu Chenâs face was already very cold.
Although it was not that fierce, on the contrary, it was a very calm and cold expression, Chang Yi could not help but think of the expression on Gu Chenâs face when he wanted to kill her back then.
They were the same.
That was why Chang Yi was afraid.
She regretted blurting out those words just now.
âMs. Shen Xi, please donât be angry.â Liu Hui explained. âWe read about this in the report. Xiaoyi just blurted it out on the spot. She didnât mean any harm.â
Liu Hui did not know why Chang Yi was so panicked, but as Chang Yiâs good friend, she naturally had to say something to Chang Yi.
Shen Xi smiled. âItâs okay. Iâm not angry. They can say whatever they want. I donât mind.â
Shen Xi did not care, but it did not mean that Gu Chen did not care.
Gu Chen picked up his phone and was about to call Qian Tong when Shen Xi stopped him. He smiled and said, âItâs okay. Letâs go. Iâm thirsty. Letâs go for coffee.â
Seeing that Shen Xi was holding her hand tightly, Gu Chen had no choice but to obediently put the phone into his pocket.
Gu Chen didnât care if his intimate relationship with Shen Xi was leaked. He even wanted everyone to know.
However, he didnât want anyone to attack Shen Xi with any nasty words.
So even though Shen Xi told him not to care, he still found an excuse to come out after entering the coffee shop for a while.
Chang Yi saw that Gu Chen was not around and asked Shen Xi in a low voice with a little curiosity and gossip, âAre you not related to my cousin? Are you just friends?â
