Lu Shan gently patted Shen Xi’s head and said, “You don’t have to look at us like that. We’ve long put the past behind us. Four years ago, your father and I already said that Jiang Xue’s affairs are no longer our concern.”

Shen Yan sighed. “Your mom is right. Moreover, what she did this time was so terrible that she deserves to be punished. Whether you were involved in this or not, your mother and 1 hold no grudge against you. Evil begets evil, and it’s her karma, not yours.”

Upon hearing their parents’ words, Shen Xi finally felt relieved.

“However, you need to be careful. I watched that live video clip, and there was something off about Xia Chun. If Jiang Xue really can’t come out, I’m afraid she might seek revenge on you. So, for the next few days, don’t go out too much, okay?” Lu Shan cautioned.

Shen Xi nodded and said, “l understand. I’ll be careful. I’ll go take a shower now, alright?”

Lu Shan affectionately patted Shen Xi’s head and said, “Go ahead!”

After her shower, Shen Xi went downstairs with her phone and headed to Guan Lei’s villa across the street.

Lu Shan and Shen Yan, witnessing this scene, shook their heads in resignation. Their daughter had grown up and they could not keep her by their side anymore.

Guan Lei, who was waiting for Shen Xi at the front gate, immediately embraced her and led her inside.

“You took a shower?” Guan Lei sniffed Shen Xi’s neck and asked with a playful smile.

“Yes, 1 did. I won’t take another one later to save the trouble,” Shen Xi replied, snuggled in Guan Lei’s arms.

Once inside the house, Guan Lei placed Shen Xi on the bedroom’s large bed and pressed her down, nuzzling and licking her neck.

Shen Xi’s neck tickled from Guan Lei’s slippery tongue, and she tugged his ear, saying, “You’re like a dog, licking like that, it’s ticklish.”

Guan Lei pouted, feeling a bit desperate. They had not been intimate since their first time, and he was getting frustrated.

However, Guan Lei restrained himself at the thought of their upcoming medical examination in two days.

After he freed his ear from Shen Xi’s grip, Guan Lei held her tightly and said, “I’ll wait for two days. After that, I’ll make sure you can’t get out of bed. We’ll be in bed every day.”

Shen Xi exclaimed, “You dare! I might just castrate you.”

“Can’t do that, Xi. How can you rob yourself of a lifetime of happiness?” Guan Lei pinched Shen Xi’s cheek disapprovingly.

Shen Xi pouted and said, ‘You’re so indecent.”

Guan Lei did not agree with her statement, countering, “Is there any couple that does decent things between them? Isn’t it all about indecent things that bring them together?”

Shen Xi raised an eyebrow, feeling annoyed, “So, you’re with me just because you’re lustful and want to get into bed?”

Guan Lei quickly defended himself and apologized for a while before Shen Xi reluctantly forgave him.

Shen Xi picked up her phone and said, “I’ll let my cousin know that we’re going for the check-up the day after tomorrow.”

As soon as Shen Xi’s message was sent, she received news that Zheng Huai had already gone abroad.

Seeing Shen Xi’s expression, Guan Lei asked, “What’s wrong? Can’t it be arranged?”

Shen Xi shook her head and said, “No, my cousin went abroad suddenly today. He said his mentor had some issues. But he’s already arranged everything for us, and we can go directly.”

“Great!” Guan Lei responded, then placed Shen Xi on his lap.

“Be careful during this time. I’m worried that Jiang Xue might cause trouble. It’s easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to avoid an arrow in the dark,” Guan Lei warned.

Playing with her hair, Shen Xi asked casually, ‘You saw it too?”

“It’s all over the internet; I was bound to see it,” Guan Lei said, brushing Shen Xi’s nose. “Over the past few days, you’ve been keeping me in the dark and accomplishing so much. My Xi is truly impressive.”

Shen Xi proudly raised her head and said, “Of course!”

“l have to go abroad tomorrow and won’t be back until the day after tomorrow. Will you miss me?” Guan Lei said with a touch of reluctance.

“It’s just one day; I’ll be fine. I won’t miss you,” Shen Xi retorted, trying to tease him.

Guan Lei looked genuinely hurt, “No, you must miss me.. You have to think

about me all the time!”
