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

Han Xi looked at her, then picked up his phone, opened it, found their chat history, and zoomed in to show it to her.

Fang Li looked over, her eyes widening little by little.

It turned out to be the photo Wen Yang took with her phone that night at the male model club!

Fang Li's mind went blank, and her neck turned red.

How did he get this photo? Wait, did she send it to him? But her phone only has the video recording, not any photos!

Fang Li was completely baffled. Before she could even process what was happening, her hand had already reached out.

Han Xi didn't expect her to suddenly try to snatch his phone. He almost had it taken from him, but he reacted quickly and raised his arm to avoid it. Fang Li missed her target and ended up half-lying on the center console.

She gritted her teeth in regret.

A deep, calm voice came from above: "Is this what you call the spirit of contract?"

Fang Li's face flushed red. "I went with Wen Yang, and I didn't do anything."

"So you think it's okay if I go out for social events and have so many women with me?"

"..." Fang Li choked for a moment, but quickly said stiffly, "That's your freedom, I'm not restricting you."

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

The anger that had just been extinguished began to surge again. He took a deep breath and it took him a long time to suppress the frustration in his heart.

The atmosphere inside the car was oppressive.

After some time, Han Xi suddenly said, "Fang Li, let's give it a try."

He turned around, his gaze serious: "I know you've always felt that our relationship is just an arranged marriage, and that one day the cooperation between the Han and Xu families will end, and our relationship will also end. But I want to say that from the day I chose to marry you, I never considered the possibility of divorce."

"..." Fang Li's heart trembled.

Han Xi: "If the sudden change in identity is hard for you to accept, then I'm willing to take a step back and give you time. Let's start as ordinary men and women, try to get along, try to enter each other's lives, and not worry about how far we can go or whether there will be a result. How about we just start?"

...hotel room.

"Sigh." Fang Li lay on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the bright and dazzling words "H Building" in the distance, feeling listless.

Wen Yang came out with a face mask on, glanced at her in the same direction, and said sourly, "It seems that President Han is really charming. He has already bewitched our beautiful Xu in such a short time."

"roll."

Wen Yang didn't roll away; instead, she sat down next to her.

She put her arm around hers, leaned closer, and said, "Do you know how many times you've sighed since you came back and are lying here like this?"

Fang Li lifted her eyelids: "Aren't you bored?"

"How boring!" Wen Yang let go of her, stroking her face mask and said in a resentful tone, "My best friend not only got married early behind my back, but also eloped with a man and left me behind. How can I not be bored when I'm all alone?"

"It's enough."

Wen Yang curled her lip: "Fine, I won't say anything more. You can stay here and be a waiting-for-husband stone by yourself."

After saying that, she made a move to get up and leave.

Fang Li reacted quickly and pulled her back.

Wen Yang slumped into the sofa, and Fang Li immediately pounced on her, grabbing her and preventing her from leaving. She pursed her lips and said, "I was wrong, don't go yet."

"Where did I go wrong?" Wen Yang asked, feigning ignorance.

Fang Li pouted and said sweetly, "So warm, so gentle..."

"Oh, alright, alright, save this for your CEO Han. I can't handle it."

Fang Li was speechless. "You're still mocking me!"

"Am I being sarcastic?" Wen Yang turned around and sat up straight, looking at her face to face: "Who was it that kept the marriage certificate a secret from me? When you were in college, you couldn't even afford to eat, and you worked several part-time jobs a day just to buy Song Yuchen a pair of shoes. You were so poor that you were practically eating steamed buns and pickled vegetables, just like me. And now you're telling me that you're actually from the Xu family in Haicheng?"

The Xu family, that's the Xu family!

As a native of Haicheng, the Xu family patriarch was among the first entrepreneurs in Haicheng to venture into business, making his fortune through import and export trade. His strength and resources are self-evident.

Back in college, people at the school spread rumors that Fang Li was just an ignorant wild girl who lived in the mountains with her grandfather, but no one ever considered how different the mountains they described were from the mountains others lived in.

It's worth noting that Mr. Xu was already on the international rich list twenty years ago.

Thinking about all this, Wen Yangqi's face mask became crooked.

Fang Li quickly and attentively helped her to her feet.

"Slap!" Wen Yang slapped her hand away. "Don't touch me. You're the Xu family's little princess, you're very precious."

"Yangyang, I was wrong, okay?"

Fang Li looked at her with a wronged expression: "I didn't mean to hide it from you. My family didn't approve of my relationship with Song Yuchen back then. I broke up with them and left on my own. I was just really poor."

"What about the wedding? You kept such a big thing from me?"

"Marriage... that marriage was too rushed. I wasn't prepared at all. I had just returned to Haicheng when the Xu family's business ran into problems. At the time, I was only thinking about helping my brother and didn't think much about it."

Wen Yang glared at her angrily.

Fang Li reached out and hooked her finger, "Don't be angry, okay?"

Wen Yang: "..."

Actually, I wasn't angry anymore, or rather, I wasn't angry with her from the beginning; I was just shocked.

But seeing Fang Li's pitiful little face, she felt pleased and couldn't help but want to tease her more.

Seeing that Wen Yang was softening, Fang Li tentatively moved closer and snuggled into her arms little by little.

Wen Yang didn't push her away in the end. Fang Li glanced at her, making sure she had really forgiven her, and secretly hugged her with a face full of joy.

"You're not allowed to hide things from me anymore."

Fang Li held up three fingers and swore, "Don't worry, from now on you're my boss. I'll tell you everything about me, down to the smallest detail!"

"Tch, fake concern." Wen Yang chuckled.

Fang Li laughed along, but as she laughed, she began to worry again.

Wen Yang noticed and asked, "Are you still worried about your CEO Han?"

Fang Li stood up, puzzled, and asked, "What exactly did he mean by those words? What did he mean by saying that he never intended to divorce in the first place, that it was just a business marriage, and that it was something he took so seriously?"

Wen Yang looked at her and sighed silently.

"What a blockhead." She reached out and poked her forehead.

Fang Li was puzzled.

Wen Yang said, "Although I don't know the history between your two families, I've heard you say that he lived in Haicheng for a period of time when he was a child, and you even went to school together."

Fang Li was even more puzzled: "Those were all things from when I was a child, I can't even remember them, how could he possibly remember them?"

"Did you know that human memory has a storage function? Although some things may be forgotten as you get older, the influence of the subconscious will only become deeper and deeper with the passage of time?"

Wen Yang said, "You just had a conflict with Song Yuchen, and then Han Xi appeared. What's even more amazing is that you returned to the Xu family in Haicheng and a crisis broke out right after. And it was him who was able to help your Xu family get through the crisis. If it were one or two things, it might be a coincidence, but with so many things happening at the same time, do you still think it's a coincidence?"

Fang Li looked blank: "You mean...?"

"He was after you from the start. The marriage alliance was just an excuse. He definitely likes you!"
