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

“The matter in Hangzhou has been resolved, and I need to go back and tell Grandpa,” she said.

"So when do you plan to come to the capital for a visit?"

"...I will do it as soon as possible."

She thought for a moment and said, "As you know, I just got home not long ago, and my grandfather definitely won't agree to me going to Beijing now."

Meeting his deep gaze, she said, "But don't worry, I'll find a chance to talk to Grandpa."

“…Okay.” He gazed intently at her and said, “I’ll be waiting for you in the capital.”

Fang Li: "Mm."

The conversation ended, and Han Xi was supposed to leave, but he remained motionless, still quietly watching her.

Fang Li froze under his gaze. At that moment, he suddenly stepped forward, and before she could react, she was pulled into his arms by a pair of strong arms.

"I don't really want to leave."

The man's warm breath sprayed onto the side of my neck.

"..."

Fang Li blushed, and it took her a while to find her voice: "Company matters cannot be delayed."

He didn't speak, but silently tightened his arms.

Fang Li was so tightly held by him that she could hardly breathe.

Just as she was about to say something, her earlobe seemed to be touched by something soft. It happened so quickly that she was almost unsure, and the arms that were tightly wrapped around her suddenly loosened.

She looked around in a daze.

Han Xi's deep-set eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly. He glanced down at the time on his wrist before gently curtsying, "I'm leaving."

".......oh."

"Lin Mo has something to do and will probably stay in Hangzhou for a few more days. You can contact him if you need anything else."

"......it is good."

"Remember to let me know when you get back to Haicheng. I've prepared a gift for Grandpa, and I'll have someone deliver it to him."

Fang Li's lips twitched slightly: "Okay."

"I'm leaving."

Fang Li sighed, "Let's go quickly."

Han Xi gave her a deep look, then turned and strode toward the security checkpoint.

This time, he didn't look back.

Fang Li watched him go through security and disappear into the crowd, feeling a mix of disappointment and something else.

Fortunately, she finally got rid of the person and breathed a long sigh of relief. She then turned around and went to the parking lot to find Yu Tian.

After she got into the car, Yu Tian started the car and drove back.

"Would you like to spend a few more days exploring Hangzhou?"

On the bus, Fang Li asked Yu Tian.

Yu Tian rested one hand on his forehead and the other on the steering wheel, his gaze fixed on the road ahead. He said in a calm tone, "There's nothing to see here. You decide whether to stay or leave."

"I've really had enough of Hangzhou, so I'll head back to Haicheng soon. I miss Grandpa a bit."

"it is good."

The car sped along the airport expressway, and half an hour later it exited the expressway and entered the city.

Fang Li had just finished checking the plane tickets and was about to pay when a call from an unknown number suddenly came in.

She glanced at it, then answered with a puzzled look, "Hello, who is this?"

"Hello! Is this Miss Xu?"

"you are?"

A loud cry erupted from the other end: "Madam, Madam, come save me! It's me, Lin Mo!"

"Lin Mo?!"

......

After a long while, the call ended, and Fang Li's expression was indescribable, as if she was having some difficulty digesting the situation.

"what happened?"

Fang Li turned to Yu Tian: "Lin Mo said he's been imprisoned and is currently in the middle of nowhere. He wants me to rescue him?"

Should we call the police about this?

Fang Li was also puzzled: "He said he couldn't call the police, because it concerns his reputation for the rest of his life."

Yu Tian: "......"

...The two went to the place Lin Mo had mentioned, filled with doubt.

That place is indeed very remote.

Fang Li and Yu Tian drove for more than an hour from the city center before finally seeing the windmill landmark he had mentioned.

But rather than calling this the suburbs, it's more accurate to describe it as the backyard of Hangzhou's wealthy.

Vast vegetation stretches to the top of a golf course, while on the other side lies a beautiful artificial lake, and further back stand rows of private villas.

Fang Li and Yu Tian parked their car on the auxiliary road of the green belt and got out to find Lin Mo.

The two walked along the woods for about a hundred meters when a 'wild man' covered in leaves suddenly jumped out.

Fang Li was startled.

Yu Tian pulled her behind him and raised his foot to kick her.

Unexpectedly, the 'wild man' threw off the leaves from his head, his face beaming with surprise: "No, no, no, don't kick me! Miss Xu, it's me, it's me! Lin Mo!"

Fang Li: "......"

Yu Tian: "......"

Even after getting into the car, Fang Li was still in a daze.

Seeing Lin Mo's face, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

She forced herself to look straight ahead and try to remain calm.

Lin Mo sat in the back seat. He had already thrown away his original haute couture outfit and was only wearing his underwear. Fortunately, Yu Tian had left a jacket in the car, which he was now tightly wrapped around his body.

With just a glance, Fang Li could see him huddled in Yu Tian's coat, looking pitiful, through the rearview mirror.

"Why didn't you call the police?" she asked.

Lin Mo asked with a drooping face, "How should I report it? Say that I was forced to drink by a woman in her forties and then taken to the suburbs where I almost lost my innocence?"

Fang Li: "......"

"If word gets out, how will I survive in the industry? Who in the Han family will listen to me anymore?"

"So... what do you plan to do now?"

Lin Mo remained silent.

Fang Li glanced at him: "You said Han Xi sent you to socialize with that President Chen, but he probably doesn't know that President Chen is this kind of person. You don't...."

"Madam, don't be fooled by the boss's fake seriousness!"

Lin Mo was both angry and aggrieved: "He clearly knew it, he did it on purpose!"

Fang Li said awkwardly, "There might be some misunderstanding. You're his right-hand woman, why would he treat you like this?"

"I didn't understand it before, but I do now." He glanced at Fang Li with a wronged expression and said, "It's all because of you."

"Me?" Fang Li turned around.

Lin Mo turned his face away and remained silent.

God knows how he felt last night when he saw that old woman come into the room wearing a sexy nightgown; it felt like he'd swallowed a thousand flies.

At that moment, the image of Fang Li in her pajamas at the hotel immediately popped into his mind.

It was at that moment that he realized why his boss insisted on having him attend President Chen's gathering—he was punishing him for looking at Fang Li.

But he was the one who asked him to knock on the door, who knew his wife would come out in her pajamas.

This is a complete and utter disaster!

Lin Mo refused to admit it; he was heartbroken!

-

The three of them returned to the hotel.

Fang Li had arranged with the hotel manager beforehand that he would personally bring clothes and wait for Lin Mo in the parking garage. Lin Mo changed his clothes in the car, thus avoiding the embarrassment of running around naked in public.

After settling Lin Mo in, Fang Li and Yu Tian finally booked flights back to Haicheng for the next morning.

After resting for a night, Lin Mo had basically recovered. Upon learning that they were returning to Haicheng, he specially chose to fly to Beijing at the same time.

At 9:00 AM, two flights took off one after the other.

One plane headed east, and the other north.

-

Haicheng, the Xu family's old residence.

After lunch, Xu Qingrang and Uncle Hao sat in the courtyard and played chess.

"Have all the invitations been sent out?"

"It's been sent. In the name of the master, we've invited all the major families and business luminaries in Haicheng. As for who to invite from the political arena, you'll have to decide that yourself."

"
