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

The two figures in the distance stopped at the same time and turned around simultaneously.

Fang Li pursed her lips slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her red lips the moment the man turned around.

"You've come." Seeing her, a gentle light appeared in Han Xi's eyes.

Fang Li nodded and walked towards him.

Han Xi, too, strode towards her with his long legs.

When he brought the two of them together, he naturally put his arm around Fang Li's slender waist and led her inside. "I've already ordered the dishes, your favorites. Let's eat first, and then we'll go home together."

"it is good."

As she watched three figures walk straight past her, Sheng Qianrui's delicate face gradually stiffened and turned cold.

Another private room.

The three went inside, and then the waiter brought in the dishes.

At the large round table, only Fang Li and Yu Tian were seated. Han Xi pulled up a chair and sat down next to Fang Li, picking out her favorite dishes and putting them on her plate.

"It feels like it's been ages since I've had food from Tangong."

Fang Li couldn't wait to pick up a small crab roe bun, take a bite, and squinted her eyes slightly in satisfaction.

Han Xi chuckled: "Take your time. You can come anytime you want to eat. Be careful not to choke."

Fang Li buried her head in her food while Han Xi poured tea and placed it beside her.

At that moment, the door was gently knocked twice and then pushed open from the outside.

Yu Tian glanced up once and then buried his head in his food.

Fang Li, holding a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, and Han Xi turned around at the same time and saw Sheng Qianrui walking in with a glass of red wine.

"Miss Xu, would you mind if I came in and had a seat?"

Fang Li paused, her mouth full of pork ribs.

How should she answer?

Do you mind or not?

She couldn't help but turn her head to look at the man beside her, only to find that he had turned his head away at some point and was silently peeling shrimp for her while wearing gloves.

Fang Li spat out the rib from her mouth and smiled faintly, "President Sheng, please make yourself at home."

Sheng Qianrui turned around and closed the door. Then, with a smirk on her red lips, she walked to the table, went straight to the seat next to Han Xi, and pulled out a chair to sit down.

Fang Li's hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly, but she quickly lost all feeling of it, then lowered her eyes and continued eating.

The private room was quiet except for the clinking of dishes.

Then came the sound of Han Xi peeling the shrimp and removing his gloves, followed by his voice: "It's too late, eat less greasy food. Here, have some shrimp."

There were four people at the table. Apart from the one who was focused on eating, two other people's eyes were immediately drawn to the plate of peeled shrimp.

Fang Li smiled and said, "Okay, President Han peeled the shrimp for me himself, I must finish this whole plate!"

"you sure?"

Looking at the plate of shrimp piled up like a small mountain, Fang Li's lips twitched slightly, and she chuckled, "I'll try my best?"

"stupid."

As the man affectionately reached out and ruffled the woman's hair, Sheng Qianrui nearly crushed the wine glass in her hand.

She seemed to have never seen Han Xi like this before.

Many of her childhood memories are blurry. Although she remembers Han Xi back then not being as aloof as he is now, he has never been this close to anyone.

Even with his grandfather and aunt, he always upheld filial piety and maintained a polite and intimate relationship.

But now......

Sheng Qianrui gripped the slender stem of the cup tightly, using great effort to barely suppress the surging resentment and jealousy within her, managing only a faint, reasonably polite smile to appear on her lips.

"I have never seen Xiu Jin be so considerate to a girl before. Miss Xu is so lucky."

She suddenly spoke, and Fang Li leaned forward slightly, looking over Han Xi to see her.

Sheng Qianrui met her gaze with a hint of provocation in her eyes: "Miss Xu, our last meeting wasn't very pleasant. To be honest, it's my fault. There were always many women trying to get close to Xiu Jin. Most of them were young and beautiful like Miss Xu, but unfortunately, their intentions were impure."

"Impure motives? What motives?" Fang Li glanced at Han Xi beside her, seemingly casually, and blinked her long eyelashes: "To swindle money or to swindle sex?"

"Miss Xu is really interesting. It seems you understand the minds of those girls very well."

Fang Li: "Is this something so hard to understand? A woman's purpose for a man is nothing more than these two things, oh no, there's one more."

"What?" Sheng Qianrui actually answered.

Fang Li raised an eyebrow: "Heart."

"..."

She curled her red lips slightly: "President Sheng is so beautiful, I'm sure there are quite a few outstanding men pursuing you. Do you agree with what I said?"

Sheng Qianrui's smile froze slightly before returning to normal. "It should be right. My romantic experience can't compare to Miss Xu's. I heard that Miss Xu used to be in the entertainment industry and had close relationships with several popular young actors."

As she spoke, her smile widened: "You don't know, over the years, countless women have tried to get involved with Xiu Jin, including some celebrities in the industry. So I thought Miss Xu was just like those women..."

"The same thing?" Fang Li laughed: "To swindle money and sex, deliberately seducing Han Xi?"

Noticing that Han Xi's profile was getting colder, Sheng Qianrui paused, then changed the subject slightly: "Miss Xu is of course not. Who is Xiu Jin? If he doesn't want to, there's probably no one in this world who can deceive him."

"is it?"

Fang Li turned her watery eyes to the man beside her, "Do you think I can lie to you?"

The man slightly raised his lowered eyes, his deep pupils meeting her gaze, and he curled his lips slightly: "Okay, I can lie to you for a lifetime."

Fang Li's eyes widened slightly, then she suddenly burst into laughter.

"I was just kidding, why are you taking it so seriously?" She chuckled softly, leaning her shoulder against his chest and whispering, "You can say things like that at home. This is your childhood sweetheart, after all. Be considerate of her feelings."

"Who?"

"..." Fang Li was truly speechless, and she couldn't stop smiling.

Sheng Qianrui's fingers, gripping the cup handle tightly, turned bluish-white.

Do they think she can't hear them?

She gritted her teeth secretly, lowered her eyes somewhat hastily to hide the gloom in them, raised her hand to take a sip of red wine, and hurriedly and awkwardly maintained the composure and dignity on her face.

The icy liquor went down my throat and slid into my stomach, barely managing to suppress the pent-up frustration in my chest.

"I'm relieved to see that Miss Xu and Xiu Jin have such a good relationship."

Fang Li was still smiling when Sheng Qianrui suddenly said something like that.

In an instant, the smiles on Fang Li and Han Xi's lips vanished, and they turned to look at her.
