Shen Xi stared at Gu Chen with a sinister gaze. “I’m seriously suspecting that you must have done something terrible to me in the past. And now, you are afraid that I’ll regain my memory and take revenge on you.”

Gu        Shen     did not deny it. He nodded and   said, “That’s right. I did do something terrible. For example, I fell in love with you regardless of your wishes. I even used some small tricks to force you to like me.”

Gu Chen didn’t know if Shen Xi was pretending to have amnesia or if she really had amnesia.

But no matter what it was, he was not afraid to say it out loud.

All along, he had denied that he did not hypnotize Shen Xi personally, but he did not say that he would not let others hypnotize Shen Xi, right?

If Shen Xi was pretending to have amnesia, she would have guessed that he was the one who instructed the man she saw in the secret chamber to hypnotize her.

After all, Shen Xi knew who that man was.

If she had really lost her memory, even if he said some unclear words, Shen Xi would not have been able to guess it. Therefore, he did not mind saying some self-reflection words to gain Shen Xi’s trust, and even the trust of Shen Yan and his wife.

“You used small tricks to force me to like you?” Shen Xi repeated and smiled in doubt. “You can force me to like you when it is something so subjective. That’s strange. ”

“Yes, I was obsessed for a moment, but you didn’t fall for it either. In fact, I worked for nothing.” Gu Chen smiled and then changed the topic.”The meat in your hand is getting cold. Hurry up and eat it. I’ll wrap one more for you.”

Gu Chen didn’t want to continue. Some things had already been done, so there was no point in talking about it.

Shen Xi saw that Gu Chen obviously didn’t want to continue talking about this topic, so she didn’t insist. She leaned back slightly on the chair and stuffed the meat wrap into her mouth. Then, she looked at the stars in the sky with a satisfied expression.

Enjoying Gu Chen’s service, drinking some beer and looking at the stars in the sky, Shen Xi unknowingly became tipsy.

Gu Chen poured beer for Shen Xi while looking at her silently. Even such silent companionship was a kind of spiritual satisfaction for Gu Chen, who had been lonely for too long. It was a kind of comfort.

It was just that someone seemed to dislike the peaceful atmosphere between the two of them.

When Su Rui saw Shen Xi’s satisfied face and her affectionate eyes in the same stargazing tent as Gu Chen, she immediately became angry and rushed directly in the direction of Shen Xi and Gu Chen.

Fang Jiao and Ye Yu quickly followed.

Initially, they were also sad about Guan Lei’s death and wanted to find a place

to relieve their emotions.

She did not expect to see Shen Xi and that she was with Gu Chen.

Although Guan Lei’s death had not been officially investigated, people in the industry could guess that it had something to do with the Gu family.

At this moment, Shen Xi, whom Guan Lei cared about the most when he was alive, was with the suspect who killed Guan Lei. Naturally, it would cause people to be dissatisfied.

For example, Su Rui, who liked Guan Lei, and Guan Lei’s distant cousin, Ye Yu.

Few outsiders knew about Guan Lei and Shen Xi, but whether it was Su Rui or Ye Yu, they were very clear about the relationship between Guan Lei and Shen Xi.

Especially when they knew about Guan Lei’s love towards Shen Xi and the time when Guan Lei’s mother had also started to acknowledge and favour Shen Xi.

“Shen Xi, Guan Lei just got into trouble, and you are here getting chummy with Gu Chen? Do you have a heart? Or is your heart made of stone? You know that the Gu family caused Guan Lei’s death, and you’re the person Guan Lei cares about. How dare you humiliate Guan Lei like this.” Su Rui asked angrily.

Shen Xi opened her slightly misty eyes. Gu Chen’s gentle expression instantly darkened. His voice was filled with a warning tone. “Young Miss Su, you have to have evidence when you speak! Guan Lei’s matter has not been officially concluded yet. If you say this, I can sue you for defamation.”

Su Rui laughed angrily. She pointed at Gu Chen and couldn’t help but say,

“Defamation? Gu Chen, you know very well whether I’m slandering you or not. Among the people who want Guan Lei dead, you are the first. The Guan family has a grudge against you and is your enemy. Guan Lei even stole the person you like. You can’t wait for Guan Lei to die! If it wasn’t you, who else could it be!”

Fang Jiao saw that Gu Chen’s face was getting darker by the moment. She was a little uneasy and wanted to persuade Su Rui, but she was stopped by Ye Yu..
