Shen Xi lightly snorted, “You’re smart.”

Shen Xi took out a piece of candy from her pocket and placed it in Guan Lei’s hand. “Remember to brush your teeth after eating. Otherwise, no one will want you if you have tooth decay.”

Guan Lei looked at the lollipop in his hand and thought of the expired lollipop in his drawer. He hadn’t eaten it yet, but his heart was filled with sweetness.

It was great that there was a new candy to be refilled.

Just as Guan Lei was rejoicing, Shen Xi’s bedroom door opened. Guan Lei panicked and rolled under the bed.

Lu Shan pushed the door open and entered. She looked at the open balcony glass door and said, “Why is the door so wide open at night? Be careful not to catch a cold.’

“It’s the end of spring, isn’t it?” said nervously. “It’s not cold. In fact, 1 think it’s a little hot.’

Lu Shan carried the glass of milk to Shen Xi’s bedside. She looked down at Shen Xi, whose face was slightly red. “Xi, it looks like you’re really hot. Your face is so red.!

Shen Xi nodded awkwardly.

Guan Lei was so nervous that his heart was already in his throat. Lu Shan was stepping on the corner of his coat. If she lowered her head slightly, she would be able to see it.

Lu Shan watched Shen Xi finish her milk and said slowly, “l heard from auntie that there have been rats at home recently. Xi, do you have any in your room?”

Shen Xi’s eyes widened. She suspected that her dear mother had a hidden meaning in her words. She quickly said, “No, 1 haven’t seen it.”

Obviously, Guan Lei, who was under the bed, thought the same. He felt that Lu Shan probably already knew that he was in the room.

“That’s good. However, I’ll still get auntie to find some housekeeping staff to clean up thoroughly, especially the corners and under the bed.” Lu Shan said meaningfully.

Shen Xi blushed awkwardly. No matter how stupid she was, she could tell that Lu Shan clearly knew that Guan Lei was in her room.

“l know, Mom. You should go and rest.” Shen Xi smiled awkwardly.

Lu Shan held the cup leisurely and said in a clear voice, “Alright then, I’ll go back first. Xi, it’s time. You have to rest by yourself, okay?”

As Lu Shan spoke, she heavily read out the words “alone” before leaving.

Guan Lei crawled out from under the bed with an awkward expression. He forced a smile and said, “Xi, have I been exposed?”

Shen Xi also had an indescribable expression on her face as she nodded. “Yes, I’ve been exposed.”

Guan Lei was annoyed. How did he get exposed?

Then, his mind cleared up. He pulled Shen Xi and said excitedly, “Xi, your mother didn’t chase me out just now. Your mother knows that I’m here, but she still didn’t chase me out, right?”

Shen Xi thought for a moment. It seemed so.

Guan Lei was instantly excited. “If your mother knows, that means your father knows too. But they didn’t chase me out. This means that they’re slowly accepting me, right?”

Shen Xi nodded stiffly. “It seems so.”

Guan Lei was pleasantly surprised as he picked Shen Xi up and spun around the room.

Shen Xi cried out in shock and quickly covered her mouth. She looked at the door stealthily, afraid that her parents would rush in the next second.

Guan Lei quickly restrained himself and put Shen Xi down. His eyes were filled with excitement as he hugged Shen Xi in his arms. His eyes slowly became wet, making Shen Xi’s neck wet.

Shen Xi was shocked. “Guan Lei, are you crying?”

At this moment, the two people who were eavesdropping outside heard Guan Lei cry and looked at each other in surprise.

The famous Young Master Guan was actually crying?

Inside the house, Guan Lei hugged Shen Xi tightly and said in a muffled voice,

“Yes, I’m a little happy. I can’t help it. Isn’t it a little embarrassing?”

Shen Xi hugged Guan Lei and shook her head with a smile. “No, it’s not embarrassing. You can cry in front of me. I won’t laugh at you.”

Guan Lei leaned against Shen Xi for a while before his emotions slowly eased.

Shen Yan and his wife, who were eavesdropping outside, also returned to the bedroom.

“Baby, have you really decided?” Shen Yan hugged his wife and sighed..
