Chapter 204: The Injured Guan Lei
After completing his daily ritual, Guan Lei wondered whether asking Shen Xi to help relieve his stress would be a better idea. He would be killing two birds with one stone! Guan Lei slapped himself to chase away his errant thoughts. There were things he still needed to do. He could not afford to be distracted.
Yet, the nights without Shen Xi were destined to be sleepless ones, plagued by endless nightmares. Work was his most practical solution to his problem.
The next day, as Guan Lei sat in the dining room, enjoying a sumptuous breakfast, he asked Xue Li a question. "Xue Li, have you been in a relationship before?"
The sudden question caught Xue Li by surprise. Why was Young Master Guan asking her a question like that? Had he finally developed a conscience, deciding to introduce someone to her? Feeling happy, Xue Li answered, "I’m not in a relationship at present."
Guan Lei elegantly wiped his mouth with a napkin and asked, "What about before?"
Xue Li frowned. Was Young Master Guan asking about her past partners? Could it be the person he wanted to introduce to her came from a loft background? The conclusion she arrived at filled her with joy. Was this her chance to climb the social ladder? Believing it so, she answered honestly, "Yes, but I’ve only ever had that one relationship."
"How did you approach that relationship?" Guan Lei casually asked.
Xue Li recalled her last date, wondering what she should say. "It was not a relationship I expected. It started because of an injury I sustained. That person nursed me back to health while I was vulnerable, and things developed from there."
