Gu Chen smiled and said gently, “I brought breakfast over and wanted to eat with you. As for how I know, I naturally have my channels.”

As he spoke, Zhao Yuan jumped out from the side and said, “That channel is me, hahaha!”

Shen Xi looked at the two people who came to see her and was very happy in her heart. She quickly came in and said, “Why didn’t you inform me in advance? I’ll prepare breakfast for you. You guys came to my house and even brought your own food. If word got out, I’d lose so much face.”

Zhao Yuan came in with a smile and said, “I just wanted to give you a surprise.”

“Didn’t you say you were going to spend the New Year with your parents after your exams?” Shen Xi laughed. “It’s already so late. Haven’t you set off with your parents yet?”

Zhao Yuan pursed her lips and said,” That’s what I planned. However, their project ran into some trouble. They can’t leave now.”

Gu Chen placed the breakfast on the dining table and said, “What kind of trouble is it? You can tell me. Maybe I can help you.”

Zhao Yuan’s eyes instantly widened as she said, “Really?”

Then, Zhao Yuan suddenly came back to her senses and said, “Yeah, you’re from the Gu family.”

Zhao Yuan suddenly turned to Shen Xi and said, “Xi, I think I’ve found an amazing backer.”

Shen Xi was amused by Zhao Yuan’s shocked expression. She smiled and said, “Now that the boss has offered to help, hurry up and tell him your needs. Otherwise, if he takes back his offer, won’t you be helpless?

With this smile, Shen Xi’s suppressed mood was somewhat relieved.

Gu Chen could not help but laugh out loud. His eyes were misty and he said softly, “1 won’t run unless Xi chases me away.”

Shen Xi was slightly stunned, but when she saw Gu Chen lowering his head and continuing to set the table, she thought that she have thought too much.

Zhao Yuan sent a message to her parents to ask about the project. In the end, she could not explain it clearly. Gu Chen could only take Zhao Yuan’s phone and personally understand the situation from Zhao Yuan’s parents.

After learning that it was just an approval process that was stuck, Gu Chen only needed a phone call to help Zhao Yuan’s parents solve it.

Zhao Yuan instantly admired Gu Chen and showered him with praise. “Gu Chen, you’re amazing. You are so good-looking, powerful, and rich. By the way, do you have a girlfriend?”

Zhao Yuan’s eyes were sparkling as she looked at Gu Chen without blinking.

Gu Chen shook his head and said, “No. However…”

Gu Chen paused, then turned to look in the direction of Shen Xi and asked, “I already have someone I like.”

When it came to the person he liked, Gu Chen’s eyes were filled with tenderness. His slightly opened eyes almost mesmerized Zhao Yuan.

“Sigh, as expected, outstanding people are always in demand.” Zhao Yuan sighed. “I was still thinking that my cousin didn’t have a partner yet. It seems that your fertile water has finally flowed to an outsider’s field [1].”

“Is Xi an outsider or an insider?” Gu Chen suddenly asked.

Zhao Yuan was stunned for a moment. She turned to look at Shen Xi and sized him up. Then, she said very seriously, “You shouldn’t have asked that. Xi and I are definitely insiders.”

“Then, I can also not flow to outsiders’ fields.” Gu Chen looked at Shen Xi and said with a burning gaze.

The atmosphere at the dining table instantly became strange.

The fried dumpling that Zhao Yuan was about to put in her mouth brushed past her lips and fell down. She did not misunderstand, did she? Gu Chen was clearly saying that he liked Shen Xi.

At the ball before, she had already felt that there were signs. Now, it was certain that Gu Chen was coveting Shen Xi.

Zhao Yuan’s scalp instantly went numb. She was a loyal fan of Xi and Guan Lei. Gu Chen was clearly here to ruin their relationship.

However, she had eaten his breakfast and even asked someone to help with her family’s project. Now, she really did not dare to make a sound.

Shen Xi was also a little confused. Gu Chen’s meaning was clear, but she did not like Gu Chen. However, Gu Chen had not officially confessed to her. Wouldn’t it be strange if she said that she did not like him?

“Exactly,” Shen Xi acted dumb and said. “Gu Chen is also our friend now. He is no longer an outsider.”

Zhao Yuan’s mouth formed a straight line as she said with a fake smile, “Xi, you’re right.”
