In the face of Shen Xi’s silence, Lu Shan comfortingly patted her shoulder and said, “Xi, it’s a good thing you two didn’t get together before. Don’t be sad. You were young and couldn’t see people’s true colors, and that’s normal.”

In truth, Lu Shan felt like she had been served a bitter pill. She had once regarded Guan Lei as a prospective son-in-law before he abandoned Shen Xi.

Guan Lei did not seem like a homosexual at all. When he looked at Xi, his gaze was filled with affection and intrigue.

Could he be bisexual?

Shen Yan, on the side, concurred and comforted, “Yes, let’s not dwell on the past. In any case, we won’t pay him any attention in the future. If he dares to co and bother you again, I’ll chase him away with a broom.”

Shen Yan was furious. Guan Lei was clearly homosexual, yet he had the audacity to pursue his daughter. Which father could accept that?

Listening to her parents, Shen Xi could only smile wryly. Fortunately, she was present today; otherwise, she might have doubted Guan Lei herself.

Shen Xi said helplessly, “Mom, we should just ignore these baseless rumors. You can’t believe everything you hear.”

Shen Xi could not help but clarify things for Guan Lei.

Lu Shan’s expression abruptly changed as she looked at Shen Xi with narrowed eyes and asked, “Xi, are you defending Guan Lei?”

Shen Xi’s scalp tightened instantly, and she quickly smiled to hide her unease. “Mom, where did you get that idea? I just feel that so dia outlets are not trustworthy, and besides, Guan Lei is my ex-boyfriend. 1 still have a say in whether he’s homosexual or not. Even though we’re not together now, I’m still an ex with principles, right?”

Lu Shan humd with distrust and said, “Xi, I was just asking casually. Why are you explaining so much? In the past, you wouldn’t have explained like this. Could it be that you’re hiding sothing?”

Shen Xi forced a fake smile and replied, “Mom, you’re overthinking it. 1 was just tired from playing. I’m going upstairs now, okay?”

Shen Xi took Lu Shan’s ambiguous expression as approval and hurriedly went upstairs.

Watching her retreating figure, Lu Shan sighed softly and said to Shen Yan,

“Husband, I think we can’t stop this. Xi still seems interested in Guan Lei.”

Shen Yan also sighed slightly, “Yeah, I have the sa feeling. But think about it, we were both so stubborn in our pursuit of love back then that we cut ties with our parents and ran away from ho. Xi is our daughter; she won’t give in easily.”

Hearing Shen Yan’s words, Lu Shan’s eyes welled up with tears, and her voice choked, “Husband, what should we do? If Xi is as stubborn as we were back then and runs away from ho, what should we do?”

Shen Yan gently brushed the tears away from his wife’s slightly reddened eyes and comforted her, “No, Xi is like us, with bright eyes. She can see love and lack of it clearly. She’s just montarily confused by Guan Lei. When she sees through him, she won’t be tempted by him.”

Lu Shan leaned into Shen Yan’s embrace and felt a bit reassured. She said with a sigh, “I hope so.”

Once Shen Xi returned upstairs, she could not help but pat her chest in relief. That was close; her mother almost found out.

It would be futile to lie to soone who knows you well; you could never hide anything.

Shen Xi freshened up a bit, then applied a face mask. While doing so, she ssaged Guan Lei: “My parents already know that you’re homosexual.”

Guan Lei, upon receiving the ssage, felt extrely embarrassed. Having your future father-in-law and mother-in-law believe that you are homosexual was quite an experience, to say the least.

Guan Lei responded with a wry smile emoji and asked, “So, did you clarify it for ?”

Shen Xi replied honestly, “Not really, but I reminded them that rumors aren’t always reliable. However, I almost let my mother know that I’m not over you.”

Seeing Shen Xi’s response, Guan Lei felt a rush of happiness. He replied, “So, you really aren’t over , huh?”

Shen Xi had only spoken the truth, but she did not expect Guan Lei to tease her. Feeling a bit defiant, she responded, “It seems like you’re proud of my unyielding interest in you.. How about 1 give up on you completely?”
