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

Han Xi didn't expect Fang Li to react so strongly.

Seeing the shimmering tears in her eyes in the dim light, a hint of surprise gradually surfaced in her usually cold gaze.

A few seconds later, he caught the key point in Fang Li's words, and his long eyebrows furrowed: "You said... I won't see you anymore, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean? The literal meaning!"

As soon as Han Xi finished speaking, Fang Li retorted loudly.

After spitting out his anger, he turned around with a stern face, and strode angrily toward the dressing room without saying a word.

Han Xi could hardly believe that the woman throwing a tantrum in front of him was Xu Fangli.

After the disbelief came a surge of anger.

His dark eyes widened slightly, his chest began to heave rapidly, and his thin lips were pressed flat and straight as he watched her walk into the walk-in closet, turn on the light, and a beam of white light shone out, illuminating most of the bedroom.

He frowned, suppressing the anger in his chest, and paced back and forth for a long time with his hands on his hips before finally taking out his phone and dialing a number.

The call was answered very quickly.

"Go and find out what happened to Madam at Meise last night."

"Yes."

Less than five minutes later, the phone was called back.

Han Xi answered the call.

Jiangbei seemed to be still outside; all I could hear on the receiver was the howling wind.

He walked to a secluded spot and said, "Boss, I've found out."

"explain."

"Last night, my wife and her friend went to Meise around 6 p.m. Around 9 p.m., when my wife was helping her friend to the restroom, they were spotted by several people. The leader was the manager of a comprehensive supermarket under Shengshi Group, surnamed Sun."

"Shengshi Group?"

"Yes, that person surnamed Sun is a distant cousin of the Sheng family."

Han Xi's dark eyes narrowed slightly, his voice sounding indifferent, but those who knew him could easily detect a chilling coldness in it: "What did they do?"

Jiang Bei replied, "That guy surnamed Sun has a terrible reputation in the industry. Three months ago, he was reported by a female employee for workplace harassment, but Shengshi paid to settle it. Last night, he blocked his wife at the bathroom door and forced her and her friend into their private room. After that, it seems... they got physical, and in the end..."

Han Xi didn't say anything.

Jiang Bei paused for a moment, then said, "Lu Jie appeared and saved the lady."

"Where were all the Meise people when that guy surnamed Sun made his move? Were they dead?!" Han Xi tightened his grip on the phone.

"The man surnamed Sun is a regular customer of Meise. The manager didn't know the lady and didn't want to offend him, so he didn't meddle. Later, when Lu Jie made his move, he was afraid of causing a death, so he notified Third Master."

good very good!

His wife was almost bullied in their own home!

A flash of murderous intent crossed Han Xi's dark eyes, and his next words were icy and devoid of warmth: "Find that guy surnamed Sun and bring him to me."

Jiangbei: "Yes."

Han Xi hung up the phone, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and waited until all the hostility in his eyes disappeared before walking towards the light.

The lights in the walk-in closet were on.

As soon as I got there, I saw the woman sitting on the makeup stool, sulking to herself.

She stood with her back to the door, her figure slender and thin, the tight T-shirt outlining her frail back. She looked pitiful as she stood there silently.

The anger in Han Xi's heart vanished instantly upon seeing this scene, replaced by deep remorse.

She must have been very scared and helpless last night...

Fang Li angrily removed her jewelry piece by piece and put it into the jewelry box.

With each item she picked, she cursed a certain man in her heart.

opinionated!

overbearing!

That's unreasonable!

Cold-blooded and ruthless...

In short, she used every word she could think of on a certain man.

After venting my anger, the frustration that had been building up inside me dissipated considerably.

Fang Li exhaled a breath of stale air and got up to go to the bathroom to wash up. However, as soon as she turned around, she saw that the man had appeared behind her at some point and was standing a few steps away, quietly watching her.

In those eyes, a silent ache simmered with guilt, and within that guilt lingered a trace of anger that hadn't completely subsided.

Fang Li only looked at him for a second before looking away, pretending not to see him, and turned to walk straight towards the bathroom.

"Why didn't you tell me about what happened last night?" Han Xi suddenly asked.

Fang Li had just reached the bathroom door when she turned to look at him: "Did you give me a chance to speak?"

Han Xi: "......."

“Every time I upset you, you just vent your frustrations on me with violence. You don’t care whether I want to or not, whether it hurts or not. In your heart, I’m just a doll that you can mold and shape at will to satisfy your desires. Last night I told you it hurt, but you didn’t care at all…”

As Fang Li spoke, her eyes became red.

Han Xi stared at her, strode forward, and gently lifted her arm to pull her into his embrace. "...I'm sorry."

Fang Li's forehead was pressed against the man's chin, and her eyes were fixed on his slightly bobbing Adam's apple.

She swallowed, suppressing the soreness in her throat.

He struggled slightly, and the arms holding him tightened around him, but she didn't move again.

Then, the man's deep voice sounded from above:

"I didn't know you weren't home so late last night. When I called you, Lu Jie answered. You know how many possibilities I considered when I heard his voice. My feud with Lu Jie has been building since childhood. I know him too well. He's capable of anything to anger me..."

"You said it yourself, that's your personal feud, what does it have to do with me!"

"We've been connected since the moment you came into my life."

Han Xi seemed to sigh, and then said, "Ali, you are my wife. Even if we don't announce it to the world, sooner or later everyone will know. Even now, Lu Jie has already started to harass you just because he saw you appear by my side. Do you think you can stay out of it?"

"...Fight however you want, why drag me into this? Lu Jie is a madman, and you're no better!"

"Yes, I hurt you and failed to protect you. I'm no good."

Fang Li: "...Don't think I'll forgive you just because you said that."

"I didn't say I wanted your forgiveness." Han Xi suddenly let go, his hand sliding down to wrap around her waist. He looked down at her and said, "You left without saying goodbye this morning, didn't answer my calls all day, and even tried to stay out all night. All things considered, I should be the one who's angry more."

Fang Li was stunned for two seconds by his resentful gaze, then chuckled coldly: "So, according to you, do I have to apologize to you?"

"Ah."

"Ok?"

"I forgive you."

Fang Li: "......" She almost laughed out of anger.

Ah!

When did this man become so shameless?

What did she say that made her forgive him?

Fang Li was still stunned when the man pulled her into his arms again.

His chiseled jaw gently rested on her shoulder, his voice muffled: "Last night I took my anger out on you without any regard for right or wrong, and today you not only ignored me all day, but you also just said you wanted to leave me. Aren't we even now?"

"If I leave, then... then wasn't that you provoking me?"

Besides, it's even?

Is there any way to even things out?!
