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

There was a small step about half a step leading from the parking lot to the elevator. Fang Li wasn't paying attention and her shoe tip didn't go over it, instead kicking it. Her high heels lost their balance, and she instantly tilted to the side, falling straight backward.

Fang Li was still somewhat clear-headed and subconsciously reached out to grab something, but she didn't grab anything.

Lin Mo was so frightened that his eyes widened, and he quickly stepped forward to help. At that moment, a tall figure emerged from the elevator.

Upon seeing the person approaching, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, stopped in his tracks, and did not move forward.

A cool, gust of wind carrying pine resin swept towards them, but the anticipated danger did not occur. A strong, long arm reached out and scooped the person who was about to fall into a steady embrace.

Fang Li felt a pang of panic. Despite the dizziness in her head, she subconsciously tried to get up, but the hand around her waist tightened again.

"good."

She looked up blankly, her watery eyes slightly narrowed as she gazed at the person in front of her.

Soft hands pressed against a firm, broad chest, the palms pounding with a strong, powerful heartbeat, each beat accompanied by a deep, mellow voice, reaching her ears.

A faint scent of pine resin, carrying the man's unique aroma, wafted over Fang Li, gradually bringing her dazed vision back to reality.

"Han...Xi".

"Ah."

The man's voice was so soft it was almost silent, his gaze warm and tender as he quietly looked at her.

Fang Li breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly raised her hands and cupped the handsome face that was so close to hers in her hands.

Han Xi's brow twitched, and he was about to warn her, but it was too late.

The next moment, "Hiss!"

Sure enough, the woman in his arms frowned and cried out in pain, her small face contorted into a grimace as she held her right hand.

"Did we get involved?!" Han Xi checked anxiously.

Fang Li pouted her red lips and nodded pitifully, "It hurts..."

Her usually cool eyes seemed to have sunk into a sea of ​​stars, with mist and starlight converging. Her long, curled eyelashes resembled a pair of fluttering butterfly wings. Even her pert nose was slightly red with grievance, and her two rosy lips were lightly bitten by a few small pearly teeth, leaving faint teeth marks in no time.

Han Xi's worried gaze deepened. He gently supported Fang Li's injured right hand with one hand and pulled her closer into his embrace with the other.

"Would it help if you blew on it, Ali?" The voice was almost a whisper through her nose, so hoarse it made one's heart tremble.

Fang Li blinked her eyes, still slightly dazed from the alcohol, and tilted her head back, saying, "You think I'm a child? I'm not drunk..."

"Okay, you're not drunk."

"Then why are you laughing?"

"I like it, I'm happy." Han Xi couldn't help but smile.

"...You, how can you be so annoying!" Fang Li pouted, punching his chest with her only free hand, struggling, "Let go of me, I want to go home..."

"Okay, let's go home." Han Xi's dark eyes held a hint of a smile as he swept her up in his long arm.

Just then, Yu Tian drove up.

Upon seeing Han Xi, he honked his horn.

Han Xi nodded, picked up Fang Li, and strode over. Lin Mo, being perceptive, quickly opened the back door of the car first.

"You, let me go... I, I can do it myself..." Fang Li struggled, swinging her legs.

The man's hands, gripping her waist and the back of her knees, remained firm and showed no sign of loosening.

"Han Xi!"

"Don't move." A large hand suddenly squeezed around his waist.

"..." The writhing body instantly became obedient.

A blush quickly rose on Fang Li's cheeks. Han Xi glanced down at her, his thin lips curving slightly. He then picked her up and bent down to get into the car.

Lin Mo, standing by the car door, rolled his eyes. How come he never noticed that his boss loved to smile before? Look, the corners of his mouth are almost turned up to the sky.

cut.

The cloying, sweet smell of being in love!

He'll find a girlfriend soon, what's there to brag about?

Seeing that Han Xi and Fang Li were seated, Lin Mo prepared to close the car door.

"Hey! Wait a minute!" A familiar voice suddenly came excitedly from behind.

Jian Yunqi had long been curious about the woman who could entice the usually cold and aloof Han Xi to stay at home. Now that she had finally shown herself, how could he let them go without taking a closer look?

He had planned to have Han Xi introduce the person to everyone, but unexpectedly, Han Xi disappeared without him noticing.

He had to ask several people before he finally found out where he was.

Unexpectedly, after chasing him closely, I saw that he had already boarded the bus. Fortunately, it wasn't too late, and I made it in time.

"What's the rush? Get out of the car. We've finally run into this person, aren't you going to introduce them to us?" He stood there, hands on his hips, panting.

Han Xi glanced at him, then turned to look at the woman in his arms.

Fang Li's mind was spinning. All she could hear was the chattering of voices. She tried to open her eyes but couldn't quite manage it. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her watery eyes trembled twice before she opened them slightly. Her clear eyes were filled with a dazed look. She stared blankly at Han Xi's shoulder as she tried to look up at the people outside the car.

This was the first time Han Xi had ever seen a woman so soft, sweet, and adorable, nestled obediently in his arms, displaying the demeanor of a little woman.

His pupils darkened slightly, and his sharp, long eyebrows instantly arched.

Fang Li barely managed to lift half of his head before he scooped up a large hand and instantly pulled the furry head back into his arms.

"It's not convenient today, let's do it another day." Han Xi glanced sideways and frowned.

Jian Yunqi paused for a moment, then stepped forward to say, "Why is it inconvenient? The person is right here, what's wrong with getting to know each other?"

Unexpectedly, he had only taken one step when Han Xi gave him a look, and Lin Mo immediately closed the half-open car door.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Jian Yunqi quickened his pace upon seeing this and reached out to pull the car door open.

Before the hand could even touch it, the engine roared and the car shot forward instantly.

Jian Yunqi missed his target and was almost sucked into the airflow, taking several steps forward before managing to regain his balance.

"Hey! What the hell is Han Er up to!" He leaned on his knees, breathing heavily, his face a mixture of anger and confusion.

Behind him, Deng Xiulin stood on the steps, shaking his head speechlessly: "Why are you in such a hurry? Since they're already married, they'll meet sooner or later."

Jian Yunqi turned and glanced at him, raising an eyebrow: "You're right, I don't believe Xiu Jin can keep hiding forever."

-

On the way back to the villa on the hillside.

Inside the car, it was quiet.

Fang Li remained nestled obediently in Han Xi's arms, maintaining the same posture she had when she got into the car, without moving an inch.

Her mind was spinning. As the car moved quickly, turned, and braked, she felt as if she were floating in the air. If it weren't for the familiar scent surrounding her and the solid feeling of her strong arms through her skin, she probably wouldn't have been able to sit still.

Seeing the woman in his arms with her brows furrowed, Han Xi reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, asking softly, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Fang Li's head felt heavy, her temples throbbed, and she hummed softly without moving, her eyes closed, "Dizzy..."
