Guan Lei suddenly put down the binoculars in his hand and said, “Are you sure?”

Shen Xi put down the telescope in her hand, a pair of puzzled eyes revealed from under the rose-shaped mask. “I’m not sure, but why are you so excited?”

“You know that today’s blind date banquet was held for me by my grandfather, right?” Guan Lei said guiltily.

Shen Xi looked at Guan Lei, who was also wearing a rose mask, and nodded. “1 know.”

“l changed the protagonist to Meng Yu,” Guan Lei said honestly. “By now, everyone probably knew that the person wearing the peony mask was Young Master Guan.”

Shen Xi’s eyes widened abruptly. She picked up her binoculars and looked in the direction where Meng Yu was just now. Indeed, there were quite a number of girls walking in Meng Yu’s direction.

Guan Lei observed Shen Xi’s expression and said, “l thought Li Zhe was in unrequited love. I’m angry that Li Zhe hypnotized you four years ago and caused us to misunderstand each other for so long, so I want Li Zhe to have a taste of the person he loves being with someone else.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

In Guan Lei’s opinion, if it wasn’t for Li Zhe’s actions back then, he wouldn’t have misunderstood that Shen Xi was lying for Meng Yu, and he wouldn’t have left Shen Xi so resolutely.

Even though he knew that this was partly because he didn’t trust Shen Xi, it didn’t stop him from being angry at Li Zhe’s behaviour.

It just so happened that this spring banquet could warn his grandfather not to get involved in his and Shen Xi’s matters in the future, and also teach Li Zhe a lesson.

Shen Xi sighed helplessly and put down the binoculars in her hand. “You don’t have to be nervous. I don’t blame you. Back then, I took revenge on Li Zhe, so I can understand you.”

Seeing that Shen Xi was not angry, Guan Lei heaved a sigh of relief and continued, “Actually, I’m still a little selfish. Meng Yu can be considered my uncle. If he can return to the Guan family to get married and have children, 1 will have another path.”

Seeing Shen Xi’s disapproving gaze, Guan Lei quickly explained, “Xi, I remember your warning. You told me not to make a move rashly, but there are some things that I have to be prepared for. Besides, Meng Yu might want to come back. I’m giving him a chance to choose and let him see the Guan family first.’

Shen Xi sighed slightly and didn’t say anything in the end. As long as Meng Yu’s past and identity were not dug out, and he wouldn’t be hurt because of this, Shen Xi actually didn’t think much of it.

“Alright, don’t look at me like that. It’s as if I’m going to abuse you at any time.” Shen Xi said unhappily.

Guan Lei’s heart finally relaxed when he saw that there was no blame in her expression.

Shen Xi was just about to tease Guan Lei when she suddenly saw Guan Lei’s mother walk out from inside. She asked curiously, “Why are you two here? Aren’t you going down to play?”

Guan Lei pulled Shen Xi back and said to Su Han, “Auntie, we’re lost. We don’t know how to get down.”

Shen Xi looked at Guan Lei in confusion. Guan Lei’s face was covered by a mask, leaving only his mouth and eyes. He spoke to Su Han in an unfamiliar voice.

Su Han quickly asked the people around her to bring Guan Lei and Shen Xi down.

After the guide left, Shen Xi stared at Guan Lei and said, “Don’t tell me you’re hiding it from your parents and grandfather?”

Guan Lei winked at Shen Xi and said, “You’re right. Guan Lei is the man wearing the peony mask today.”

Shen Xi looked at Meng Yu, who was surrounded by people not far away and then looked at Guan Lei, who was beside him. It had to be said that these two people were quite similar just by looking at their eyes and mouths.

Shen Xi shook his head and said to Guan Lei, “You’re really going overboard. Aren’t you afraid that Meng Yu will be forced on by someone? Then, the little girl will come to settle the score with you two months later when she’s pregnant.”

Guan Lei thought for a moment and then said indifferently, “I don’t care. You just have to believe me. As for that child, he’s from the Guan family anyway.”

Shen Xi was so angry that she hit Guan Lei. “Get someone to keep a close eye on Brother Meng Yu. I don’t want him to be taken to bed in a daze.”

“Don’t worry. I’ve asked Xue Li to watch him in the dark. He’ll be absolutely safe.” Guan Lei held Shen Xi’s hand and promised.

As he spoke, Guan Lei openly pulled Shen Xi’s hand and strolled around the garden. Whenever he caught something delicious, he would stuff it into Shen Xi!s mouth..
