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

Since there was something to discuss, Yu Tian naturally couldn't refuse again.

The two ate facing each other, the only sounds being the clinking of cutlery and chewing.

Yu Tian was a man of few words. When he said he was going to eat, he really did bury his head in his food and kept eating. He ate very quickly, but his table manners were not unpleasant.

Fang Li ate while observing him. After a moment, she put down her chopsticks, picked up the red wine next to her, poured a glass, and pushed it in front of him.

"I heard you're from the capital?"

Yu Tian paused in his eating, swallowed the food in his mouth twice, and then replied, "Yes."

Fang Li asked casually, as if chatting with a friend, "Then why did you stay in Haicheng?"

"Work."

"My uncle said that you were outstanding in all aspects when you were in the army. Someone like you shouldn't have any trouble finding a job after you retire, so why didn't you stay in Beijing and instead came to the Xu family?"

Fang Li raised her wine glass and clinked it against the one in front of Yu Tian.

Yu Tian glanced at it, put down his bowl and chopsticks, sat up straight and looked over.

"What would you like to know, Miss?"

Fang Li smiled faintly: "Don't look so apprehensive. We're just chatting. I didn't mean any harm by asking these questions; I'm just curious."

Yu Tian looked at her quietly for a moment, his body seemingly relaxing slightly.

His voice wasn't as deep as Han Xi's; it was clear, sharp, and made people feel that he was just like the man himself—firm and serious.

“I am an orphan and grew up in an orphanage. I was selected to join the army in high school and served in the army for fifteen years. I was discharged three years ago due to an accidental injury.”

In just a few words, his life was explained.

"Sorry, I don't know..."

"It's ok."

Yu Tian picked up the wine glass on the table: "The leader has not only been kind to me, but I also promised him that I would take good care of the Xu family. Your problem is nothing."

Fang Li smiled as she watched him tilt his head back and drink the wine in one gulp.

"Alright, since you're so generous, I can't be stingy either."

She finished her drink and then smiled, "Although the Xu family may just be a job for you, your uncle said that you are a member of the Xu family."

"So, from now on, please stop calling me 'Miss'. It sounds really awkward."

Fang Li poured him a glass and then filled her own, saying, "If you're okay with it, just call me Fang Li. You're older than both me and my brother, so I'll call you Brother Tian, ​​okay?"

Yu Tian remained silent for a moment.

Fang Li held her wine glass, waiting for him to give his opinion.

After a moment, he picked up his wine glass, gently clinked it against his, and said, "Okay."

Fang Li smiled contentedly and took a small sip of the wine in her glass.

Once the conversation was out in the open, the two ate much more harmoniously afterward.

No longer were they burying their heads in their own food; Fang Li would occasionally ask a casual question, and Yu Tian, ​​though not talkative, would answer seriously.

Unexpectedly, the doorbell rang again while we were eating.

The two were startled and looked towards the door.

Who would come at this time?

Fang Li subconsciously intended to get up and open the door

Perhaps out of professional habit, Yu Tian stopped her, gave her a look that said he should go in first, and got up and walked towards the door alone.

Fang Li jogged and hid behind the room door, peeking her head out.

When Yu Tian opened the door and saw who was standing outside, she was stunned for a moment, then ran towards the door.

"How did you come?"

Lin Mo was carrying a bag from the Tan Palace in each hand, and judging by the weight, it must have contained quite a lot of delicious food.

He glanced at Fang Li, then at Yu Tian beside her, and the smile on his lips gradually stiffened, giving the impression that he was about to cry.

Fang Li had seen Lin Mo twice while she was at the hospital.

He was delivering food to her on behalf of Han Xi. He was a natural social butterfly, and he spoke with great tact and discretion, so Fang Li had a good impression of him.

This was the first time she had ever seen such a stiff expression on his face; it was a little creepy.

No one could understand how devastated Lin Mo was at that moment.

Before he came up, he had suggested to his boss that it would be best to tell his wife in advance if he came so late. His boss gave him a disapproving look.

He knew it was just a way to surprise his wife.

But surprises can easily turn into frights!

Well, now we've run right into each other.

The surprise has turned into a real shock.

Look at how embarrassing it is now.

Lin Mo could almost picture the chaotic scene that was about to unfold in this room. Ahhhhhh, I really want to run away! What should I do?!

He couldn't help but glance again at Yu Tian, ​​whose gaze was cold and stern, before looking at his wife with a strange expression. He nodded somewhat awkwardly and said respectfully:

"Miss Xu, um... good evening."

Fang Li was both surprised and puzzled, but still nodded politely.

Then, my gaze slowly moved backward, and I finally saw the tall and slender figure standing to my side.

Han Xi wore only a shirt as always, but this time it was not white but a rare indigo color, which made his pale skin look even more sharp.

His sleeves were still piled up at the elbows, his hands were in his pockets, he stood tall and elegant, exuding nobility and grace, standing there silently, his handsome face devoid of emotion and warmth.

Perhaps it was because he had been in a high position for many years, but when he didn't speak, the meticulous strictness and sharpness between his brows became more obvious, coupled with his unfathomable eyes, which were so cold and intimidating that they made people inexplicably nervous.

Fang Li was both surprised and taken aback to suddenly see Han Xi here.

But when she met the hidden melancholy in the depths of Han Xi's eyes, a dark feeling rose in her heart.

Why is he looking at her like that?

Is it really that you're angry just because I didn't tell him I was coming to Hangzhou?

Fang Li felt a strange, indescribable feeling welling up inside her.

He wouldn't be spying on her, would he?

"How did you know I was here?" she asked directly.

Han Xi's gaze was deep and unfathomable, a slight ripple appearing in his eyes, and a slight wrinkle appeared between his deep brows.

He stood there upright and motionless, his cool gaze fixed on her face, which was slightly flushed from drinking and exuded a charming allure.

This is a hotel after all, and it's not appropriate to just stand at the entrance like this forever.

Fang Li casually pulled Yu Tian aside, wanting to make way for the two of them to come in.

Unexpectedly, Han Xi's gaze deepened, and the chill between his brows intensified.

Fang Li was completely confused.

Did he fly thousands of kilometers just to express his dissatisfaction with her?

What did she do to offend him that made him personally come to her door and give her such a hostile look?

It's really baffling.

Han Xi didn't move, so Fang Li simply ignored him and prepared to let Lin Mo come in first.

Who is Lin Mo?

Having followed Han Xi for so many years, he knows what his boss means even if he just moves his eyelids.

In such a delicate atmosphere, a single misstep could trigger a major battle, and he absolutely cannot allow himself to be in the eye of the storm.

He chuckled and quickly held up the takeout box in his hand: "Miss Xu, Tan Palace has a lot of new dishes, would you like some...?"

Lin Mo hadn't finished speaking.

In the blink of an eye, Han Xi, who was standing behind him, suddenly bumped past him and strode forward, his cold eyes fixed on Fang Li.

Fang Li was startled and instinctively took a step back.
