Chapter 128: Lovey-Dovey Parents
Xue Li was about to follow the order when a thought occurred to her. Had Guan Lei not said it was important for one to have a mind of their own? Hesitantly, she asked, "If you send all that without consulting Miss Shen, wouldn’t it make her unhappy? What if she takes your good intentions as a slight on her pride?"
"Are you questioning me?" Guan Lei demanded.
Xue Li was speechless.
She had spoken up because she knew how special Shen Xi was to the Young Master and did not want him to feel hurt should Shen Xi view his generosity as contempt for her situation in life.
Xue Li heaved an inward sigh. It seemed the Young Master was still lacking when compared to Miss Shen.
As the Young Master’s personal assistant, Xue Li took her job seriously and believed it was her responsibility to shore up his deficiencies, especially if they were related to Miss Shen.
Bracing herself for his rebuke, she said, "Young Master, would you not reconsider?"
Guan Lei was surprised by Xue Li’s sudden increase in courage. It was enough for him to rethink his hasty decision. When he did, he realised how inappropriate his actions might appear to others.
