Shen Xi had to admit that when she saw Gu Chen struggling to maintain a connection with his parents at the ice rink, it touched her. However, it didn’t mean she would forgive him for what he had done.
Pitying someone didn’t give them the right to be cruel to others.
Mental manipulation, emotional punishment—Gu Chen’s actions towards her were not light. If something went wrong with the experiment, she knew she’d either be insane or dead.
Moreover, Gu Chen altered her memories, causing her and Guan Lei to separate again right when they were about to officially reconcile.
Gu Chen looked at Shen Xi with hopeful eyes.
If they hadn’t spent these days together, Gu Chen might have been able to convince himself to let Shen Xi go. After all, it was easier to give up something you have never had.
But he had experienced it—the companionship of Shen Xi in these days had brought him immense joy.

Even the simple moments of eating, drinking, and playing together filled him with great satisfaction.
He truly didn’t want to return to those lonely days.
However, Shen Xi seemed determined not to grant him his wish.
Shen Xi hardened her heart, staring at Gu Chen with his eyes full of desire, and said coldly, “You let Hu Long tamper with my memories, madeestranged from Guan Lei, and forcedto leave my beloved. Why do you think you have the right to asknot to leave? I’ll tell you the truth; the closeness I showed you these days was deliberate. I wanted you to experience the taste of losing something important.”
As Gu Chen stayed silent, Shen Xi rose to her feet, offering him a faint smile. She said, “Meng Yu’s incident was also deliberate. Regarding the surveillance video capturing the Liu family changing the medicine as per your instructions, I notified the higher-ups and arranged for an additional surveillance camera. Subsequently, I handed over the video to Meng Yu.”
Gu Chen didn’t react with the anger Shen Xi expected from being deceived. Instead, he smiled and said, “Xi, are you trying to makeangry with these words? The only thing I ask of you is to stay by my side. Even if you schagainst me, and cause trouble for me, I don’t mind, as long as you’re willing to be with me.”
Shen Xi frowned at Gu Chen; she felt like her words were like punches on cotton—no effect at all.
Since that was the case, she decided not to waste any more twith Gu Chen.
Without saying a word, she turned around to leave. However, at that moment, Gu Chen grabbed Shen Xi and pulled her into his arms. In a low voice, he said, “Won’t you stay?”
Shen Xi didn’t indulge Gu Chen. Instead, she delivered an elbow strike directly to his chest. Taking advantage of Gu Chen’s lack of reaction, she attacked his lower body.
Gu Chen groaned in pain, tears of agony streaming down his face, as he bent over, clutching his vital parts.
Upon hearing the noise, Qian Tong immediately rushed in with his men.
Seeing Gu Chen bent over in pain, Qian Tong immediately signaled his men to subdue Shen Xi.
Shen Xi raised her wrists, poised to attack Qian Tong and his men.
Enduring the pain, Gu Chen shouted, “Get out!”
Qian Tong and his men immediately stopped in their tracks, respectfully backing out.
Only then did Shen Xi slowly lower her hands, touching the bracelet on her right wrist.

Shen Xi just gave Gu Chen a deep look before turning to leave.
She didn’t want to continue entangling with Gu Chen.
“Are you sure you can leave the Gu family now?” A faint voice echoed behind Shen Xi, carrying the tremor of pain from the recent kick that Gu Chen received.
Shen Xi turned to look at Gu Chen, asking without a blink, “So, what are you going to do? Havecaptured and imprisoned here?”
Shen Xi’s indifferent tone and expression stung Gu Chen.
Over the past few days, Shen Xi had been vibrant and charming. She displayed moments of coquettishness and anger, even allowing him to carry her, and accompanied him to his secret base with his parents. She seemed so real, almost as if she was right there for the taking.
“Xi, hit someone where it hurts the most! You’re even more ruthless than me!” Gu Chen chuckled bitterly, then sighed, “Have the last meal with me, and I’ll let you go. How about that?”
