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

"Charity gala..." Fang Li scrolled through her phone, her brows furrowing slightly. "Anything too extravagant shouldn't be too much. Simplicity and elegance are best..."

"What do you mean by simple and elegant?" A gentle voice came from beside me.

Fang Li was startled and suddenly turned her head to look.

The man who had said he was going to a social event had somehow returned and was standing by the bed, arms crossed, looking at her with tender eyes.

Fang Li was taken aback. "When did you get back?" No, she should ask him when he came in.

Fang Li glanced at the door; it was slightly ajar, and the man hadn't made a sound when he came in.

Han Xi released her hand, sat down beside her, and said, "What were you looking at so intently a few minutes ago?"

Fang Li pursed her lips, and the memory of Friday night's banquet immediately came to mind. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "There's something I want to tell you."

Han Xi raised an eyebrow: "What is it?"

Fang Li: "You have to promise me you won't stop me."

Han Xi: "...You go first."

Fang Li held her phone and looked at him, then paused for a few seconds before saying, "This Friday, I'm going to a charity gala."

"No way." Han Xi refused without even thinking.

Fang Li frowned: "Why? A charity gala is just a place to meet some friends and chat. Why can't I go!"

"What do you say?"

Fang Li: "......."

“Zhou Tian, ​​your stitches can be removed now. It’s better to stay home until then. What if the wound gets bumped again by the crowd at the banquet?” Han Xi said firmly.

Fang Li pursed her lips, her tone becoming more anxious: "I'm an adult, not a child. I won't let myself get squeezed."

"That's not OK."

"You...! You're being unreasonable!"

"Say what you will, but you are not allowed to go."

Fang Li bit her lip, a hint of unhappiness in her eyes. She thought to herself, "They're just in an arranged marriage, why is he interfering in my life like this?"

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he never dared to say them.

The man in front of me is unpredictable; if I say these words, I might offend him in some way. I'd better think of another way.

Fang Li's long eyelashes drooped, and her pupils flickered rapidly.

Han Xi sat on the edge of the bed. Seeing that she remained silent for a long time and her face was not as relaxed and carefree as when he had just returned, his expression softened slightly.

Fang Li held her phone, her voice muffled: "Do you know that this charity gala is hosted by Wenxi Film and Television and will invite many celebrities from the industry? It's a great opportunity for our studio."

Wenxi Film and Television?

Han Xi pursed his lips, his gaze suddenly shifting slightly.

"I really want to go." Fang Li looked up, her clear eyes glistening with tears. Even Han Xi, a man of such determination, felt a pang of tenderness in her gaze.

Her slender white fingers slowly reached out, grabbed the side of his shirt, and then shook it coquettishly.

"Just let me go, I promise I'll be careful and won't get hurt again." She blinked her watery eyes.

Han Xi: "..." met Fang Li's gaze.

My heart had long since softened into a pool of water, leaving no room for any backbone. In a moment, I could only sigh helplessly.

"Han Xi..." Fang Li pleaded, her red lips parting slightly, "Brother Han Xi?"

His dark eyes narrowed, and a silent, dark light surged within them.

Han Xi's voice was low and hoarse: "Say it again."

Fang Li bit her lip: "Han Xi... brother..."

"Well......!"

Her red lips were suddenly captured and then nibbled and sucked.

The cool pine resin, carrying a burning heat, trapped Fang Li in front of him, drawing her in for a deep, passionate kiss...

After a long while, Fang Li's face turned bright red from holding her in her arms. The man who had been holding her finally released her, pulling away and staring at her intently. "So, you were just worrying about what to wear for the banquet?"

Fang Li's red lips parted slightly, she breathed softly, and nodded blankly as she looked at the handsome face magnified in front of her.

Han Xi smiled and said in a charming tone, "Leave the dress to me. I'll have someone deliver it on Friday."

Fang Li: "..." After a moment, she finally understood the meaning behind the man's words.

A look of joy immediately spread across her stunned face, and the corners of her mouth turned up happily. "Really? That's great!"

Suddenly, two soft arms wrapped around my neck.

Han Xi paused for a moment, then smiled.

He raised his hand, embraced the woman's slender waist, and rested his chin on her neck as he spoke: "But don't forget your promise. If you get hurt again, stay home and don't even think about going anywhere."

"Don't worry, I'll bring Brother Tian with me. With Brother Tian there, nothing will happen."

...around 10 p.m.

Having solved a major problem, Fang Li fell asleep contentedly.

The person lying next to her gently lifted the blanket, got up, took her phone, and left the room.

In the study room.

"Hey."

"Why did you decide to call me, Mr. Han?" Han Chunxi's slightly displeased tone came from the other end of the phone.

The study was dark, with the lights off.

Han Xi, dressed in soft loungewear, stood in front of the dark French windows and said, "I will be at the charity gala on Friday."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

A moment later, Han Chunxi's voice, tinged with surprise, came through: "Are you sure?"

"What, isn't your cousin welcoming you?"

Han Chunxi immediately said, "Heh, still putting on airs in front of me?"

Han Xi smiled.

Han Chunxi: "I'm really curious what happened that made President Han, who always keeps his word, change his mind?"

Han Xi smiled and said, "My cousin will find out when the time comes."

-

Friday is almost here.

After Fang Li refused Han Xi's idea of ​​finding another caregiver that day, Han Xi returned on time every morning, noon and evening to personally change her dressings and carefully watch over her during meals.

That day, Han Xi went to the company early as usual.

Fang Li was asleep when a commotion downstairs woke her up around eight o'clock.

She frowned, pulled the blanket around herself, sat up, closed her eyes, and listened for a moment, realizing that it didn't seem to be just one person.

Fang Li got out of bed, went into the bathroom to wash up quickly, then pulled the shawl over her nightgown and went downstairs.

She was stunned by the scene downstairs as soon as she reached the top of the stairs.

The once spacious and bright living room was now cluttered with display racks, which were filled with the latest gowns from various brands. The gowns were neatly arranged by color and length, making it look like a clothing store at first glance.

Dozens of figures stood in the gaps between the clothes. Some were tidying up the clothes, some were taking accessories out of the safe and placing them on the coffee table, and others were assembling dressing tables and lamp stands.

Fang Li stood on the stairs for a long time, watching until everyone seemed to have finished their work, before she finally stepped downstairs.

She had just come down the stairs when she ran into Aunt Rong, who was coming out of the restaurant to call her.

Aunt Rong smiled and said, "Madam is awake?"

Aunt Rong's words instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the living room.

Elara, who had been standing by the sofa directing everyone, almost instantly fixed her gaze on Fang Li.

Seeing her nod serenely to Aunt Rong, he quickly stepped over in his high heels.
