Zhao Yuan sighed. "Tell me, why are you so unlucky? Your father asked me to care for you because you're in poor health. Who could have known you would become a victim of a burglary? Your luck is awful."
Shen Xi could only nod in agreement.
"Guan Lei, thank you for saving my Xixi. You're a hero! Is there any way we can repay you?" Zhao Yuan asked.
Guan Lei's heart sank, and his expression turned cold.
Shen Xi was her own person. Since when did she become part of Zhao Yuan's family? If anything, Shen Xi should be a part of his, not hers!
The sudden shift in Guan Lei's mood was jarring. Why did his expression change so abruptly? Zhao Yuan did not think she had said anything wrong. Did he think she was joking with him?
Uncertain, Zhao Yuan said, "I'm serious. I wasn't joking when I said we would repay you for your kindness. Xixi and I have always shared a good relationship. I'll do my best to return this favour."
