The Wronged Heiress Reborn For Her Crown

Zhao Yuan adjusted her coat and nodded. "Alright, Xi, I’ll wait for you outside."

In confusion, Shen Xi looked at Gu Chen, who had sent Zhao Yuan away, and asked, "What’s wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Gu Chen shook his head and looked at Shen Xi with clear eyes. "It’s nothing important. But I just wanted to thank you. I’m thrilled that you can come to my birthday party tonight. I’m also delighted you’re willing to dance with me for the only time in ten years."

Initially, Shen Xi thought that Gu Chen would say something important. She didn’t expect it to be just gratitude. She instantly smiled and quickly waved her hand. "There’s no need to thank me for a little thing."

Gu Chen’s eyes flashed with starlight, making Shen Xi slightly panicky. She quickly advised, "Hey, are you going to cry? Don’t, don’t, don’t. You mustn’t cry. It’s such a small matter."

Gu Chen smiled reluctantly, which was not very bright, and said, "It might be a small matter to you, but to me, it’s a sign that I’m standing up again. This was a significant time for me. After all, I hadn’t stood up for ten years."

Shen Xi didn’t know how to persuade and comfort him, so she just chuckled in response to Gu Chen’s words.

After Gu Chen said it, he did not cry. He just reached out to Shen Xi’s head, and Shen Xi subconsciously dodged.
