She goes crazy, he'll cover for her; the darling of the group is someone no one dares to mess w

"Don't be impulsive, okay? I know it's because I got too close to Yu Wei that made you sad. I'll be more careful in the future, but you really can't bring up the contract termination issue so casually."

People say that late-blooming affection is worth less than grass, and it turns out that's really true. If these words had been spoken before, she probably would have been so happy that she couldn't sleep all night.

Now, she only finds it jarring.

Suddenly, a faint noise came from outside the door.

The next moment, the combination lock was opened, and someone pushed the door open and came in.

The air suddenly became quiet, and Song Yuchen behind him jolted and froze.

"Sorry, I didn't know Fang Li was here too. I left an earring here a couple of days ago, and the brand is urging me to return it, so I came up to get it..."

Yu Wei appeared cautious, but there was a hint of smugness in her eyes.

From an angle that Song Yuchen couldn't see, all he saw was provocation.

Fang Li was initially angry, but as she watched, she suddenly started laughing for some reason.

She forcefully broke free from Song Yuchen behind her and turned around: "So you're already thinking of taking over my place? So, telling her my house password was also just an act? Then why don't you tell me why her earring was left here?"

Song Yuchen paused for a moment, then frowned and said, "We're all colleagues from the same production crew. I was just helping her out. The day before yesterday, she was forced to drink by the brand and was afraid of being photographed by paparazzi, so she came to stay at your place for one night. Why are you being so sarcastic?"

"I'm being sarcastic? Song Yuchen, this is my home! Besides, just the day before yesterday... I was still in the hospital!"

Seeing the two start arguing again, Yu Wei quickly explained, "Fang Li, you've misunderstood Brother Chen. It's all because of me. He originally planned to visit you, but somehow the paparazzi photographed you falling and getting injured in your hospital room that day, so Brother Chen had no choice but to..."

"Shut up!" Fang Li suddenly glared at Yu Wei.

Yu Wei was startled, seemingly frightened, and immediately bit her lip with a wronged expression.

Upon seeing this, Song Yuchen's expression darkened visibly. "Fang Li, this matter has nothing to do with Yu Wei. Why do you keep targeting her?"

"If you don't even trust me this much, then there's really no point in us staying together."

Fang Li felt a ticklish, nauseating sensation, as if lice were crawling all over her. "I'm targeting her?"

Without even looking at her, she pointed at Yu Wei beside her, her eyes fixed on Song Yuchen, and after a moment she suddenly turned her face away with a sarcastic smile.

"Song Yuchen, I must have been blind for the past six years to offer you my heart and let you trample on it. You disgust me!"

Look, the person who was begging you to get back together just a second ago has changed their attitude the next second. Now you should understand, right?

Fang Li didn't even bother to give him a second glance and simply walked away.

Song Yuchen's face darkened, and he followed them naked.

The elevator doors opened, and Fang Li pulled her suitcase inside.

Song Yuchen caught up and was about to go inside when Yu Wei grabbed him from behind.

"Brother Chen, I saw paparazzi downstairs when I came here. You can't just go down like this!"

He pressed the elevator button to stop Fang Li from leaving, but hesitated in his heart, not daring to follow her in.

Just then, the elevator doors next to them opened, and a tall, long-legged man stepped out.

He was dressed simply in casual pants and a T-shirt, with no brand information visible on his clothes, but his short, stylish haircut and sharp, dark eyes gave him an aura of irresistible charm.

The group stood frozen in the elevator.

The three of them, locked in a stalemate, all turned to look at him, but Han Xi merely glanced at Fang Li and said indifferently, "Half an hour has passed."

His tone was flat, almost without any change in expression.

But his innate aura drew the attention of Song Yuchen and Yu Wei.

A strange feeling suddenly welled up in Song Yuchen's heart, making him feel uneasy. Yu Wei, on the other hand, released Song Yuchen's arm without making a sound, her furrowed brows relaxed, and her originally somewhat harsh face instantly became sweet.

Her gaze was intense, fixed on Han Xi without blinking.

Both of them wondered in their hearts what this person's identity was and what his relationship was with Fang Li.

Fang Li didn't speak, but looked at Song Yuchen, who was holding the door: "Let go."

Song Yuchen asked her, "Who is he?"

"It has nothing to do with you, let go."

Fang Li tried to pry Song Yuchen's hand off the elevator door, but he pressed down even harder: "If you leave today, it'll really be over between us. Are you sure you want to be so heartless?"

His eyes held a warning, making it seem as if Fang Li was to blame for how things had come to this.

Fang Li's sneer vanished. "I'll say it one last time, let go!"

"Fang Li!" Song Yuchen's eyes were filled with rage as he questioned, "Is he the one? The reason you're clinging to the matter between me and Yu Wei is just an excuse for your own infidelity. You've fallen for this man, haven't you?!"

"Snapped!"

A slap landed heavily on Song Yuchen's cheek, turning his face to one side from the force.

Yu Wei was shocked: "Fang Li, why are you hitting people!"

Fang Li's hands, hanging by her sides, were burning and trembling, and her heart was so tight that she could hardly breathe.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in her heart, and smiled stubbornly: "Since that's what you think... Yes! You're right, I have fallen for someone else. You're even afraid of being exposed if you kiss me, but we've already slept together!"

"No, I don't believe it!"

Under Song Yuchen's shocked and pained gaze, Fang Li pulled Han Xi over, clung to the man's shoulders, and kissed him on the lips without saying a word, right in front of the two of them.

Han Xi paused for a moment, then quickly took the initiative and kissed her lips.

Fang Li's eyes widened in surprise.

The hallway was completely silent.

A man and a woman were pressed tightly together.

"Do you see clearly?"

After the kiss ended, her eyes were filled with tears, but her expression was extremely cold as she looked at Song Yuchen.

Song Yuchen was struck dumb, remaining motionless and silent for a long time.

Fang Li's heart was pounding, and she didn't want to waste any more time. She forcefully pried his hand off the elevator door and pressed the close button.

The elevator door slowly closed.

Isolated from the outside world, Song Yuchen's heart finally sank to the bottom.

Fang Li's proactive kiss was even more powerful than the slap before. Standing in the elevator, Song Yuchen felt as if he had been hit by frost, and he staggered backward, unable to even stand up.

"Feel sorry."

Fang Li was led by Han Xi and shoved into the car. Watching the man put down his luggage and get into the driver's seat, her mind was still in a daze.

Han Xi, holding the steering wheel, turned to look at her: "Since you feel sorry, how are you going to thank me?"

"what?"

Fang Li was taken aback and looked up with her watery eyes.

Han Xi: "I've never liked owing favors to others, and likewise, I don't like being owed favors."

"Then what do you want?"

Seeing Fang Li's moist lips swollen and red from being ravaged, and her eyes staring blankly at him like an innocent little rabbit, Han Xi couldn't help but swallow.
