Chapter 962: Suspicion
Then, she saw the beautiful man in front of her stand up and lean towards her. He even reached out his slender and fair hand and placed it by Shen Xiâs mouth.
âHey, what are you doing?â Shen Xi asked in confusion, âDo you want some fruit?â
Shen Xi had some grape skin in her mouth since just now, so she spoke with a somewhat bulging voice.
Gu Chen shook his head and said softly, âYou donât have a trash can over there. Spit out the grape skin. Iâll throw it in the trash can.â
Shen Xi looked at Gu Chenâs beautiful hand and asked with uncertainty, âDo you want me to spit on your hand?â
Gu Chen nodded.
âAre you sure?â Shen Xi asked, still not convinced, âDonât you think itâs dirty?â âItâs not dirty. You are not dirty.â Gu Chen shook his head.
Shen Xi was a little uncomfortable with Gu Chenâs words. She immediately stood up and asked with a twinkle in her eyes, âWhere is the trash can? Iâll throw it myself.â
Gu Chen took back his hand and suddenly laughed inexplicably. Shen Xi was so angry that she swallowed the grape skin.
Shen Xi said angrily, âWhatâs so funny? 1 wonât throw it anymore. Iâll just swallow it.â
Originally, Gu Chen was just happy that Shen Xi was not cold when facing him. Instead, she looked a little shy and embarrassed.
However, he didnât expect that his slight smile would make Shen Xi angry. Shen Xi even got mad and swallowed the grape skin.
This was the first time Gu Chen had seen Shen Xi with such a childish temper.
Gu Chen looked at Shen Xi as if he had met a stranger.
Shen Xi felt annoyed, hence Gu Chen retracted his gaze.
Gu Chen was happy, but he did not dare to anger Shen Xi again.
If it was Shen Xi from before, she would probably just give him a cold glance in that situation.
No, if it was Shen Xi from before, there wouldnât be such a scene of the two of them in the study.
Shen Xi probably wouldnât even want to enter his study room.
Gu Chenâs heart was filled with bitterness.
On the other side, Shen Xi was getting impatient. She asked, âCan you hurry up and settle this matter? Donât be absent-minded. You looked confused and upset. I think youâre sick.â
Gu Chen also felt that he was a little abnormal today. The main reason was that Shen Xi had given him too many surprises that he had only dared to fantasize about.
Gu Chen adjusted his emotions, but the corners of his mouth curled up. Even Gu Chen himself could not convince himself to suppress it.
âIâve thought about Meng Yuâs case, Right now, itâs only rumored that Meng Yu poisoned Guan Lei, but the case hasnât been officially sentenced yet, so he hasnât been convicted. If one could exchange or destroy the evidence obtained from Meng Yu, and another person admits to have committed it, no one will pursue this matter.â Gu Chen said.
In Gu Chenâs eyes, this matter seemed very simple, so simple that even Shen Xi felt that something was wrong.
âIs it so easy to swap the evidence? In this situation, Meng Yu should be surrounded by people. How can you be sure that it can be exchanged?â Shen Xi questioned.
Gu Chen looked at Shen Xi suspiciously and then smiled, âOf course. Right now, the Guan familyâs situation was unknown and chaotic. The Liu family is doing well, so Meng Yu must be in the Liu familyâs hands. My family is an ally of the Liu family. I think the Liu family will give me face.â
Shen Xi nodded in understanding.
âBut, are you sure you want me to protect Meng Yu?â Gu Chenâs eyes were fixed on Shen Xi. âMeng Yu was the prime suspect in Guan Leiâs murder. If you do this, itâs very likely that youâll release the murderer and let him die in vain.
Guan Lei used to be with you. Are you sure you want to do this?â
After Gu Chen finished asking, he looked at Shen Xi without blinking.
Shen Xiâs expression did not change much. She leaned back and sighed, âThereâs nothing we can do about it. Although I donât remember it, since I said before that Meng Yu is my savior, then I must owe Meng Yu a life. I have to pay her back, right? As for Guan Lei, if the Guan family really wants to make a fuss about it, I can just compensate them with my life.â
Gu Chen did not let go of any expression on Shen Xiâs face.
Previously, he had been blinded by Shen Xiâs intimacy. He had never thought of the possibility that Shen Xi might be faking it..
