Shen Xi's body stiffened slightly in response to the swelling object.
"Xi, don't worry. I won't do anything to harm you. I'll wait until your family accepts me, and then I'll have you openly," Guan Lei held Shen Xi tightly and reassured her.
Shen Xi's family had always been quite critical of him. If they were to find out that he had made a move on Shen Xi, they would probably never look at him favorably again.
He hoped that their love would gain the support of both their families, rather than making Shen Xi suffer and fight for their love against her parents and relatives. It would break his heart.
He would take care of this matter himself.
Shen Xi nodded and embraced Guan Lei, drawing warmth from his body. She softly said, "Alright, I'll wait for you!"
Guan Lei took out the bracelet Shen Xi had thrown at him four years ago and asked, "Xi, can I put this on you again?"
Guan Lei's expression was cautious, tinged with apprehension.
