Shen Xi turned to look at Guan Lei who was in Li Jin’s embrace. Her eyes were dark and gloomy.

Guan Lei quickly pushed Li Jin away and leaned towards Shen Xi. He belonged to Shen Xi. He wouldn’t let anyone take advantage of him.

Shen Xi looked at Guan Lei and suddenly panicked seeing his reaction. She hurriedly caught Guan Lei, but standing 1.8 meters tall, Guan Lei’s figure almost knocked her down.

“Xi, the woman is taking advantage of me. This is too much.” Guan Lei buried his head in Shen Xi’s neck and cried.

The student beside him was amused by Guan Lei’s words. Such a shy and soft school bully.

Shen Xi couldn’t help but laugh. Then, she stroked Guan Lei’s head and comforted him softly, “Alright, I’ll protect you. Don’t be afraid!”

Guan Lei was sobbing as he leaned against Shen Xi’s neck. He sniffed the faint fragrance on Shen Xi’s body and said aggrievedly, “Yes, please scold her! She threw herself at others without an shame.”

Zhao Yuan was stunned. She thought to herself, ‘Brother Lei, you just threw yourself at Shen Xi shamelessly!

There were tears on Li Jin’s face. She stared at Guan Lei with her eyes wide open. Was this the cold and ruthless Young Master Guan?

Shen Xi looked at Li Jin and said coldly, “Li Jin, Guan Lei doesn’t like your touch. Please don’t come near him next time. If he cries, I won’t be able to coax him.”

Li Jin was so angry that her cheeks puffed up. She shouted, “Shen Xi, you don’t even like Guan Lei. Why are you clinging on to him?”

Li Jin’s words made Guan Lei feel a little sad. Indeed, Shen Xi had never said that she liked him. He was a little upset.

Shen Xi did not comment on Li Jin’s question. She said in a clear voice, “Whether I like Guan Lei or not, whether Guan Lei is willing to let you touch him, they are two different things. Guan Lei doesn’t want to be harassed, so he’s asking me for help. Can’t I do him a favor?”

Li Jin knew it well, but she couldn’t stand Shen Xi’s behavior. She said angrily, “If you reject Guan Lei, he will give up and fall for someone else. You’re the one who’s hogging his feelings.”

Shen Xi’s heart shook. Actually, Li Jin was right. Wasn’t it what she had been thinking about just now?

“See, you can’t even defend yourself, right?” Li Jin looked at Shen Xi.

Guan Lei didn’t hear Shen Xi’s retort and immediately became anxious. He knew that Shen Xi didn’t like him yet. He was the one who pursued Shen Xi passionately.

However, if Shen Xi rejected him right now, then he would no longer have a chance.

Guan Lei quickly raised his head and shot a sharp gaze at Li Jin. He warned coldly, “Li Jin, it seems like I didn’t teach you a lesson last time, right?”

Li Jin was frightened by Guan Lei’s fierce gaze and took a step back. Then, she slowly said, “Brother Lei, I’m afraid that Shen Xi will hurt you. If she doesn’t like you, why don’t you give up on her? Turn around and look at me. I like you.”

Li Jin who was usually gentle and weak suddenly flew into a rage. The students in the class were freaked out. Now that Li Jin confessed, everyone was shocked.

Guan Lei subconsciously looked at Shen Xi. Seeing that there was no anger on Shen Xi’s face, he slowly relaxed. Then, he was upset again. Shen Xi was not jealous at all. He was such a failure.

“So, you were the one who did the appraisal of Young Master Guan’s and my paintings. Then, you sent them to Jiang Xue. Correct me if I’m wrong, you and Li Dan are relatives. I think both of you are quite close.” Shen Xi said this in a certain tone.

Li Jin looked at Guan Lei in panic. As expected, Guan Lei’s eyes had darkened.

“You like Guan Lei, but Guan Lei treats me well, so you want to make things difficult for me. You accused me of cheating. If I prove myself, I will offend the nobles of Beijing City. If I don’t prove myself, I can only take the blame. What a good scheme!” Shen Xi sneered.

Li Jin couldn’t deny her identity, but she knew very well that she couldn’t admit to this. She tried to defend herself, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I didn’t do it. I didn’t ask Jiang Xue to slander you.”

Guan Lei looked at Li Jin sinisterly and said in a threatening voice, “Li Jin, don’t make me investigate..”
