Shen Xi did not expect this to happen. In the end, she only thanked him politely.

Gu Chen and Guan Lei were in the same ward. Shen Xi was the most uncomfortable. She had a big headache.

Especially when Su Rui was here.

Shen Xi was having a headache when Su Rui came to visit Guan Lei with chicken soup.

“Lei, Auntie asked me to bring you some chicken soup.” Su Rui said with a sweet smile, wearing a white dress.

“Sister Su Rui,” Guan Lei frowned slightly and continued, “Next time, you can ask the nanny to come. You don’t have to be here.”

After saying that, Guan Lei looked at Shen Xi with a guilty expression.

Seeing such a good opportunity, Gu Chen couldn’t let Guan Lei go.

“Young Master Guan is so lucky to have such a beautiful lady who brings you nourishing soup,” Gu Chen said with a smile.

“Xi, I think I might need some nourishment too.” Gu Chen turned to Shen Xi and said.

“The doctor said that you can’t drink chicken soup now. It’s not too good for you,” Shen Xi said bluntly.

Guan Lei burst out laughing, “Some people don’t deserve to get blessings. It’s so funny.”

Gu Chen gritted his teeth and said, “Then Xi, I want to eat oranges. Can you get me one?”

Shen Xi picked up an orange and peeled it patiently.

Su Rui saw Guan Lei staring at the orange in Shen Xi’s hand. She quickly offered, “Lei, do you want to eat oranges too? Shall I peel one for you?”

Then, Su Rui didn’t wait for Guan Lei to reject and started peeling oranges for Guan Lei.

Shen Xi heard Su Rui’s words, but she didn’t even raise her head or look at Guan Lei.

Guan Lei was so devastated.

Shen Xi put the peeled orange in Gu Chen’s hands, while Su Rui fed the peeled orange into Guan Lei’s mouth.

“I’m good. You can eat it yourself.” Guan Lei was shocked.

Gu Chen’s eyes curved into crescents as he smiled, “Young Master Guan is so lucky. This pretty lady had even fed you the oranges.”

Guan Lei glared at Gu Chen.

In the past two days, Guan Lei found out that Gu Chen was actually a strangely talkative person who was trying to provoke him every day.

Of course, Gu Chen also thought the same about Guan Lei.

Su Rui looked at the orange that Guan Lei rejected without feeling angry. She smiled and said, “Lei, next Tuesday is my grandfathers birthday. He wants me to bring you along to his celebration.”

“My parents will be attending Grandpa Su’s birthday banquet. I don’t have to go.” Guan Lei said with a frown.

“That won’t do. Grandpa asked you to go. I’ve also mentioned this to Uncle and

Auntie, They also think that you should go.” Su Rui said without giving up.

“Okay.” Guan Lei sighed, “I’ll go with my parents.”

Guan Lei’s answer did not surprise Su Rui.

Then, her gaze fell lightly on Shen Xi who was beside her. Shen Xi showed an emotionless expression.

Su Rui’s eyes fell on Gu Chen and asked, “Gu Chen, you should go too.”

Su Rui deliberately skipped Shen Xi and asked Gu Chen. There was a hint of tease in her eyes.

Gu Chen’s appearance was different from Guan Lei’s. Guan Lei had defined facial features. He looked determined and masculine. Meanwhile, Gu Chen was the kind of soul-stirring, seductive beauty.

The two of them were quite good-looking.

It was a pity that these two good-looking men shared the similarly bad taste. They liked a boring woman like Shen Xi.

Gu Chen coldly glanced at Su Rui and said, “We don’t know each other. I’m not going!

This woman dared to treat Shen Xi like this in front of him. For sure, he would not be polite to her.

Su Rui didn’t expect Gu Chen to be so disrespectful to her, and her face turned ugly.

Shen Xi lowered her eyes and smiled slightly. Guan Lei caught this expression and felt a little bitter.

Shen Xi should be very happy that Gu Chen was protecting her so brazenly, right?

However, Su Rui’s grandfather had saved his life in the past. Because of that, he could not turn down the Su family like Gu Chen did.

Su Rui sorted out her emotions and said, “Friendship starts with the first  contact. Only then can friendship be formed, right?”

Gu Chen no longer looked at Su Rui. He even ignored Su Rui’s words..
