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

"If someone can steal it, it means it's not mine. If it were mine, no one could steal it."

"Fine, you're stubborn and aloof, then keep up that act. But I have to remind you, the best way to defeat evil forces is to use even greater evil forces to deal with them. There are plenty of people who want to latch onto President Han's powerful connections. If you don't hold on tight, someone will snatch him away sooner or later, and don't come crying to me then!"

Fang Li's ears burned, and she couldn't help but steal a glance at the man behind her. She turned back and whispered, "Alright, stop talking nonsense. I'm hanging up now."

Wen Yang sighed helplessly: "Go ahead and hang up, I'll just call you Dead Duck from now on."

"roll."

Fang Li hung up the phone, finally unable to ignore the gaze behind her.

She turned around and met the man's deep gaze.

"Have you finished chatting?"

Fang Li nodded: "It's over."

Han Xitan looked at her calmly, then suddenly pulled her up and walked towards the room.

Once inside the room, he immediately pinned her down on the bed.

"What...what are you going to do?" Fang Li was terrified.

Shrinking her shoulders, she tried to get up and avoid his hand, but Han Xi moved his large hand and gently pushed her away from her shoulder.

Fang Li's body tilted and fell straight backward, instantly lying on her back on the bed.

The scene that had happened in this room not long ago flashed through her mind. Seeing the man lean down slightly and reach out to her, Fang Li nervously closed her eyes and clenched the bed sheet in her hands.

"Han Xi!"

At first, she thought he was a gentleman who knew how to conduct himself properly, and even when he suddenly lost control that time, she just thought he was acting impulsively.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a domineering and powerful bandit!

What did he take her for?!

Fang Li was furious, and her face turned red.

Just as she was about to struggle, the expected touch did not come. Instead, a large hand suddenly landed on her waist, and her body was gently turned over in the darkness. Then, a chill ran down her back.

Fang Li, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes: "...You!"

She turned around, a lump forming in her throat, and glared angrily at the man behind her.

The curse was about to spill from his lips when, in the next moment, he felt a warm, soft touch on his lower back...

"Want to insult me?"

Fang Li was stunned: "..."

Han Xicen's thin lips were slightly taut, and his smile was faint: "Why aren't you scolding me anymore?"

He had never seen her so furious in all the time they had known each other.

Tan Hei's dark eyes lowered as he looked at the woman on the bed, a faint light flickering deep within them. His warm hand gently pressed against her restless lower back, and his gaze slowly moved down from her profile to the bruise on her waist.

Her slender waist, which could be encircled with one hand, was originally as white as jade, but now it has been inexplicably marred by a glaring dark spot, ruining all its beauty.

Han Xi's deep black eyes gradually became obscure and unfathomable.

With a stern face, he reached out and pulled out a tube of ointment from somewhere. His thin lips moved slightly: "What do you think I'm going to do to you?"

Fang Li was still stunned when a chill suddenly ran down her back, accompanied by a slight pain as she was gently rubbed.

She closed her eyes, then buried her face in the bed in frustration.

Her originally angry face gradually flushed red, and she bit her lip, remaining silent.

Seeing her cowering like a timid quail, Han Xi couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his pursed lips.

He squeezed out another piece of ointment and continued to apply it to the bruise, his movements still gentle as he rubbed the ointment in.

A faint medicinal fragrance gradually filled the room, and Fang Li remained silent with her head down the whole time.

"Why are you so defensive when others attack you, but you react so strongly when it comes to me?"

"..."

"What were you about to say to me? Tell me."

"......"

"Are you trying to pretend to be mute by not speaking?"

"Don't get up."

As soon as Fang Li moved, a warm, large hand pressed her back down.

Her nerves tensed, and her body stiffened as she continued to lie face down, Han Xi's voice very close to her ear.

"Let the ointment absorb for a while."

Fang Li stopped moving after hearing this, remained silent for a moment, and said in a muffled voice, "I misunderstood you... I'm sorry."

A brief moment of silence.

The next moment, a man's low chuckle echoed in the room, and a rustling sound came from beside him as the large bed sank slightly.

Han Xi lay half-reclined beside Fang Li, propping his head up with a smile: "Isn't it a bit insincere to express an apology with words? I remember someone seems to owe me a favor."

Fang Li's mind went blank for a moment, her memories flooded back, and she instantly remembered what he had said.

To completely break things off with Song Yuchen, she used him; that kiss...

She looked up, turned her head to look at him, and asked, "...So how do you want me to repay you?"

"What do you think?"

Fang Li's watery eyes flickered, and her red lips pursed slightly.

"Fang Li, I regret it."

"?"

"Last time I said I wouldn't force you and would give you time to slowly get closer to me, but now... I can't wait any longer."

"Han Xi...you..."

"You have no idea how tempting you are to me. For the first time in my life, I have had the urge to get someone without any regard for anything else."

"...You can't, you...you said you'd give me time, I...I haven't..."

"Nothing? You haven't fallen for me, right?"

Fang Li bit her lip, wanting to say that she wasn't ready yet.

Han Xi smiled, then suddenly raised his right hand and gently covered her cheek, tucking the stray hairs behind her ear. He said in a deep voice, "You can't escape now, Mrs. Han."

For the first time, Fang Li felt like she had entered a bandit's den and would never be able to get out.

How could she have been so naive as to think that Han Xi was a refined gentleman who would keep his promises? He was clearly a cunning and scheming bandit who was waiting for an opportunity to strike!

At first, he was willing to patiently deal with her and see how things went, but now, for some reason, he's lost his temper and no longer wants to pretend, so he's just revealing his true nature.

If he were still the same as before, knowing when to advance and when to retreat, she could barely manage to handle him.

Now that he has suddenly revealed his intentions and started to play the straight game openly, how can she calmly deal with it!

......downstairs.

"It's been so long, and the gentleman still hasn't come down. Old Chief, shall we go back first?"

Grandpa Han stared intently at the gate of the residential area, the corners of his mouth curving wider and wider, the smile in his eyes barely concealed.

At this rate, won't he be able to hold his great-grandson very soon?

Grandpa Han chuckled with satisfaction and patted the back of Li Duo's chair: "Let's go, let's not disturb the sweet moments between the young couple. I'll talk to that brat about this tomorrow."

Li Duo nodded.

Just as I started the car and was about to leave, a tall figure appeared at the gate of the residential area.

"Old Commander..."
