Han Xi stretched out his long arm, grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his arms, and then strode into the bedroom.

Bang!

Yu Tian immediately followed, and seeing the door slammed shut, he prepared to kick it down.

Lin Mo was quick-witted and nimbly squeezed to block the doorway, explaining with a smile, "Don't worry, our boss has something to discuss with Miss Xu."

Yu Tian frowned.

Lin Mo said in a serious tone, "Miss Xu, do you want to terminate the contract? It was President Xu who specifically asked our boss to help. If you don't believe me, you can call President Xu and ask."

Seeing that Yu Tian's expression finally softened, he immediately pushed him towards the living room.

"Are you Miss Xu's cousin? You don't look like it."

Lin Mo made up random claims, and Yu Tian couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to him.

He expressionlessly dodged Lin Mo's touch. Although he didn't try to bang on the door again, he didn't go far either, leaning against the wall with his eyes warily fixed on the door opposite.

Lin Mo didn't care whether he paid attention to him or not, as long as he didn't bother the boss.

The two of them stood there, one looking at the other, the other at the door, frozen in place.

And in the room at this moment.

Fang Li felt as if she was enveloped by a refreshing, cool fragrance.

She couldn't help but struggle, but the man's strong arms held her tightly, preventing her from moving.

The two remained silent behind the door for a while.

Han Xi looked down at the woman nestled obediently in his arms, most of her face buried in his shoulder. Although he couldn't see her expression, her freshly washed hair was fluffy and messy, exuding a faint fragrance that tickled his nose like feathers.

I remembered her as a brave person, but I didn't expect her to be so obedient and stay in someone's arms like a kitten when she was frightened.

Han Xi's previously cold eyes gradually warmed up, the dark color receding and revealing a faint shimmer.

This woman looks fairly curvy, but I never expected that I could lift her up without even needing an arm; she's so thin.

Han Xi couldn't help but look down at her, his chin brushing against Fang Li's head, causing her messy head to move slightly.

He couldn't help but turn his head slightly to look at her expression.

Fang Li's heart pounded. Sensing the man's intentions, she tried again to break free from his embrace.

Although Han Xi was reluctant, he still released her with the help of the force.

Once freed, Fang Li immediately took two steps back, widening the distance between them.

Whether it was because of the alcohol or the hasty embrace, Fang Li's cheeks flushed even more.

She glanced away with a slightly flustered look, secretly bit her lip, and awkwardly tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

"...What are you doing here all of a sudden?"

The bedroom light was off, relying entirely on the neon lights from the electronic screen on the building across the street, creating an ambiguous, flickering glow.

Although Fang Li intentionally stepped back, the distance between the two was still very close. Han Xi could see her long, curled eyelashes trembling slightly without even trying.

He remained silent for a while. Fang Li quietly tidied herself up and couldn't help but look up at him.

Their eyes met, and he lowered his head slightly, staring at her.

He said, "I want to see you."

Fang Li was stunned for a moment, her heart raced and tightened, and she instantly panicked.

“But you seem very busy,” he said.

His tone suddenly lowered, and although it sounded indifferent at first glance, the ending carried a hint of hurt and hidden sadness.

"Don't misunderstand, he's a member of our Xu family."

Fang Li didn't know why she was explaining; it just slipped out of her mouth for no apparent reason.

However, she didn't know that this wasn't what Han Xi cared about.

He already knew Yu Tian's identity when she left the Xu family for Hangzhou. Old Master Xu was worried about her, and so was he, so Yu Tian was not a threat to him.

What angered him was whether she even knew how alluring she looked at that moment.

Han Xi looked down at her, his gaze filled with an irresistible allure.

Fang Li wore a loose-fitting nightgown with a wide neckline that only covered one shoulder, revealing a large portion of her fair and delicate shoulder and collarbone that caught the eye.

A delicate rose gold chain nestled deep within her collarbone, the clear lines of her neck extending all the way to her rounded chin, creating a graceful arc with the slightest lift.

And those two long legs, completely exposed to the air, were fair and straight, gleaming with a faint pearly sheen...

A surging dark light lurked beneath Han Xitan's dark eyes.

Is this how she eats and drinks with other men?

A foolish woman who seduces others without realizing it!

A surge of frustration welled up in his chest, almost shattering Han Xi's usually proud self-control.

After a long while, his cool gaze swept over Fang Li, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Go change your clothes, I'll wait for you outside."

Fang Li lowered her head. She had thought her outfit was nothing special, but after the man's deliberate reminder, she suddenly felt that it seemed a bit revealing.

She gave an awkward laugh and quickly turned and disappeared into the dressing room.

Han Xi watched her go in before opening the door and leaving.

Seeing that Fang Li hadn't followed him out, Lin Mo approached her with a puzzled look: "Boss, Miss Xu...?"

Han Xi glanced at him sideways, giving him a brief look for two seconds. Lin Mo's smile grew increasingly stiff, and a chill suddenly ran down his spine.

Then his boss said coldly, "I heard that President Chen has organized a gathering. You're going."

"what?"

"Don't let me see you again before tomorrow."

"what?!"

Lin Mo looked astonished and was about to say something when his boss had already sat down on the sofa, leaving him with only the back of his head.

Lin Mo blinked stiffly, as if struck by lightning, his whole body exuding a dejected and lifeless despair.

Mr. Chen... Mr. Chen Chen?!

"Boss, is this... is this Chen Xiulan, the general manager of Zhenghua Electronics?" Lin Mo asked cautiously, with a hopeful heart.

Han Xi remained silent.

Silence means... default?

boom!

Lin Mo staggered backward, barely managing to stay upright by leaning against the wall.

Zhenghua Electronics is just a small, insignificant company. It's tried countless times to get close to the Han family, but its subsidiaries have all refused. Now, the boss is actually asking him to go...

He was, after all, a close advisor to the Han family, second only to the emperor, and a talented and handsome assistant to the emperor!

Thinking of that woman who was over forty, burly and thick-waisted, covered in flab, with her face covered in two pounds of powder, and whose mouth looked like it had sucked a child's blood, and who would pounce on any young man she saw, Lin Mo just wanted to die.

"Boss..." Lin Mo felt wronged and wanted to cry.

What did he do wrong to be inexplicably made to drink with that General Manager Chen?

Ahhh! ! !

That's so cruel!

When Fang Li came out after changing her clothes, only Han Xi and Yu Tian were left in the living room.

I don't know what they said, but sitting opposite each other, the atmosphere was a bit strange.

"you.......?"

Fang Li went over and gently sat down on the sofa next to Han Xi.

The man suddenly turned around and looked at her: "All done?"

She nodded, thought for a moment, and pointed to Yu Tian to introduce him: "His name is Yu Tian. He used to serve in the army where my uncle was. After he retired, he stayed in the Xu family. This time I came to Hangzhou to discuss the termination of the contract, and my grandfather was worried, so he asked Brother Tian to come with me."

Han Xi seemed to smile slightly. He looked at Yu Tian and said in a calm voice, "I know."
