Chapter 711 - 711: Can’t Get Down



Li Zhe neatly arranged his clothes and sat beside Meng Yu, asking, “Ah Yu, do you still think this was intentional?”

Meng Yu nodded, “I don’t believe in such coincidences.”

Li Zhe took hold of Meng Yu’s hand, idly playing with it, and casually said,

“Could it just be a mere coincidence?”

As the two discussed this matter, the security guard who had accompanied the attendant to the hospital sent a message. The news of the attendant’s demise immediately cast a shadow over Meng Yu’s face.

Li Zhe was also taken aback. Just a moment ago, he had only glanced at the attendant, thinking it was just a mild injury, not something life-threatening. He never expected that the attendant would actually die.

In retrospect, Li Zhe could not help but feel a sense of dread. If he had met the same fate, he and Meng Yu would have been separated forever. Li Zhe’s heart could not bear the thought

The arrival of the unexpected and tomorrow was truly unpredictable.

Li Zhe tightened his grip on Meng Yu’s hand. He had patiently awaited Meng Yu’s return, and the prospect of losing him felt profoundly unjust. Clearly, caution would need to be exercised in the days ahead.

Meng Yu spent the entire afternoon watching videos but found no clues. Zeng Rong, after inspecting the lampstand, concluded that it had fallen due to years of neglect.

The investigation into the job applicant also yielded no irregularities.

Meng Yu’s furrowed brow remained unfurled. Had he truly been too anxious? Was this really just an accident?

Nonetheless, Meng Yu felt it was better to be cautious.

As Meng Yu and Li Zhe left the company, the twilight had already descended upon the sky.

Li Zhe leaned on Meng Yu l s shoulder, even in the midst of traffic, he felt in good spirits. If only Meng Yu could nestle in his embrace, Li Zhe thought his mood would be even better.

Meng Yu’s expression softened, allowing Li Zhe to lean on him and play with his fingers.

They had commuted together before, but it had never felt as warm and lovely as it did at this moment.

Their current state resembled that of a married couple commuting together, familiar yet filled with a longing exploration of each other.

Meng Yu’s cheeks slightly flushed as he looked out the window, feeling incredibly happy.

Meanwhile, Shen Xi, who had also just finished work and returned home, unexpectedly found Guan Lei in her house. She hurriedly closed the bedroom

door and furrowed her brows, asking, “Did you climb over the wall again?”

Guan Lei wrapped his arms around Shen Xi’s waist and said, “Hmm, I missed you, so I climbed over.”

Shen Xi playfully pinched Guan Lei’s ear. “You’ve got some nerve,” she said. “If it weren’t me who walked in just now, what would you have done? My parents would’ve dragged you straight to the police station, and then you’d be famous in Beijing for all the wrong reasons.”

Guan Lei chuckled softly, then swiftly pulled Shen Xi into his lap, locking her firmly in place. He grinned, saying, “As long as I can be even remotely connected to you, I’d embrace notoriety with open arms.”

Guan Lei buried his nose in the curve of Shen Xi’s neck, greedily inhaling the delicate fragrance that emanated from the girl in his arms.

Shen Xi, feeling ticklish from Guan Lei’s actions, said teasingly, “You’re all stinky, and I don’t want any part of that.”

Guan Lei playfully nibbled on Shen Xi’s earlobe and said, “You can’t say you don’t want me. If you reject me, no one else will have me.”

“Oh, really?” Shen Xi retorted with a hint of sarcasm. “I’ve heard about your matchmaking dinner, and quite a few girls have accepted your invitation. These days, all those young misses in the circle are rushing to order high-end dresses and book stylists just to catch your eye. It doesn’t seem like you’re unwanted at all.’

Guan Lei lifted his gaze and gently pinched Shen Xi’s small face, smiling as he said, “I love it when you get jealous like this, Xi. But rest assured, in my eyes, there’s only you.”

Shen Xi chuckled softly. “You seemed to have found your way with sweet talk over the years. So, where did you refine your skills?”

“Perhaps,” Guan Lei replied with a mischievous grin, “I’ve been practicing all those sweet words with you in my dreams every night.” He playfully nuzzled Shen Xi’s jawline and neck.

Shen Xi wanted to throw a few jabs at Guan Lei, but she fell silent as she felt something hard and throbbing beneath her.

“Guan Lei, you’re getting too worked up. Settle down a bit,” Shen Xi said coyly, blinking her eyes. Her long, curled lashes fluttered, revealing her racing heart and her inability to stay calm at that moment.

“Xi, I can’t make it go away. I get this way whenever I’m with you,” Guan Lei said in a husky, subdued voice..
