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

Fang Li pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time, then suddenly picked up her chopsticks in full view of everyone and began to eat without saying a word.

It's just eating, so let's eat.

After they finished eating, she refused to believe they were going to stay there forever!

Lu Jie smiled as expected. He had guessed that she wouldn't say it, but when she actually compromised for Han Xi, he admitted that he was still a little unhappy.

However, this woman is not as boring as she seems on the surface. It's quite interesting to tease her. For example, she looks calm and unresponsive now, but she's probably cursing his ancestors to the eighteenth generation in her heart.

She suddenly became obedient, and Lu Jie didn't make things difficult for her.

I watched her eat silently, occasionally picking up my wine glass and taking a small sip.

With such a pair of eyes watching over him, Fang Li felt as if he were chewing wax, even though the table was full of delicacies. He mechanically forced each bite into his mouth.

The atmosphere in the private room remained silent for a few minutes, then suddenly a 'click' sounded as a camera shutter clicked.

Fang Li turned around with a mouthful of food in her mouth, followed by another sound.

"Great, I like this expression."

Lu Jie put his phone away with a satisfied expression, looked down at the photo on the screen, and chuckled, "I didn't expect you to look so cute when you eat."

Fang Li felt a chill run down her spine and immediately dropped her chopsticks to grab his phone.

Why did you take a picture of me! Delete it!

Lu Jie would not do as she wished, so he naturally raised his arm to dodge.

The two began to struggle and pull at the dining table. Lu Jie, being tall and long-legged, used only one arm to keep Fang Li out of reach, no matter how hard Fang Li tried.

He held up his phone, a defiant smile playing on his lips, "Such precious photos can't be enjoyed by just me."

Fang Li's heart skipped a beat as she saw Lu Jie press send with his thumb, and the photo appeared in a dialog box.

"Lu Jie!"

"Why don't you keep calling me Mr. Lu?"

Lu Jie stopped stopping her, turned around with satisfaction, casually tossed his phone on the table and said, "Do you think Han Xi will think my photography skills are pretty good when he sees the photos?"

Fang Li was so angry that her face turned red. If she weren't outnumbered, she would have slapped him on the spot!

From the moment Lu Jie took her away, she knew Han Xi would definitely come. However, this place was a bit far from Han's, and there was also traffic congestion at noon... She wanted to resolve things here before Han Xi arrived, and it would be best if he and Lu Jie didn't meet.

But this madman is not afraid of making things worse!

He may seem to be making things difficult for her, but he's just deliberately trying to provoke Han Xi through her!

A dozen seconds after the photo was sent, Lu Jie's phone on the table rang.

Fang Li's heart skipped a beat.

Lu Jie chuckled as expected, reached for his phone, and, though his tone was provocative, his gaze remained leisurely fixed on Fang Li: "President Han?"

A familiar, deep voice came through the phone: "Lu Jie, you dare touch her!"

"Oh, Mr. Han, you're too late. What if I've already made my move?"

"Han Xi, I'm fine!" Fang Li quickly called out upon hearing this, fearing that Han Xi would be angered.

She didn't know where Han Xi was, but since he chose to call Lu Jie, he must be some distance away.

Although she initially only wanted to end the matter before he found out, it now seemed that Lu Jie would not let her off easily. Han Xi's call was like a savior, giving Fang Li a strong sense of hope, and she began to desperately wish that he would come soon.

There was a pause on the other end of the phone. "Fang Li, where are you?"

Fang Li quickly called out, "I'm here..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Jie's eyes flashed and he immediately pressed the red button, then raised an eyebrow at Fang Li and tossed the phone in front of her.

Fang Li was both angry and furious, staring at him warily.

Lu Jie said with great interest, "It seems you are indeed quite important to Han Lao Er... What should I do? I'm suddenly even more interested in you."

Fang Li had never seen such a nasty person before, and she was utterly fed up with being caught in the middle as a bargaining chip.

Her gaze turned cold, and the anger in her eyes could no longer be concealed. Without thinking, she said, "Are you sure you're interested in me and not Han Xi? I don't care what grudges you have with Han Xi, but they're none of my business. Why are you making things difficult for me?"

Fang Li was like a cat with its fur standing on end, her face flushed and her watery eyes blazing with anger.

Seeing her angry and embarrassed expression, Lu Jie's smile faded slightly, and his expression remained unreadable.

He said with a half-smile, "How have I made things difficult for you? Is it so hard to just ask you to sit down and have a proper meal?"

Fang Li took a breath, her chest heaving, and turned her head away without saying a word.

After a few seconds of silence in the private room, Lu Jie suddenly seemed to sigh softly and said, "It seems you have a deep misunderstanding about me. Never mind, I won't tease you anymore. Actually, I really have something to discuss with you today."

Something?

Fang Li frowned. What could possibly be going on between her and him?

Lu Jie changed his expression, coldly glancing in a certain direction opposite him, and said indifferently, "Let's begin."

Fang Li was even more puzzled and couldn't help but look over as well.

Duan Xin, who seemed a bit off as soon as she entered, suddenly stood up, bowed deeply to her with a wronged expression, and said, "I'm sorry."

Fang Li was puzzled, but remained silent.

Lu Jie: "Explain clearly why you are apologizing."

Duan Xintong's eyes flashed with resentment, but fearing Lu Jie's methods, she obediently said, "I had someone release the video from Jin Ding Zhai. I was angry that Young Master Lu was protecting you, and I was afraid you would steal Young Master Lu away, so..."

Although Fang Li had guessed from the beginning that Duan Xin was involved, she still couldn't help but get angry when she heard Duan Xin say it to her face.

“I told you long ago that I don’t know Mr. Lu. That night was the first time we met. Instead of being suspicious and targeting me, you should think about the problems between you two.”

Duan Xin pursed her lips and remained silent.

Immediately afterwards, someone else stood up at the table and bowed to Fang Li in apology.

"Ms. Xu, I shouldn't have contacted the media for Duan Xin. I'm sorry."

“Ms. Xu, Jin Ding Zhai is my family’s property. I shouldn’t have maliciously deleted the surveillance video. I’m sorry.”

"I'm sorry, I filmed that video. I was wrong."

......

They were all scions of well-known and prestigious families in the capital. At this moment, they stood obediently in front of Fang Li like children who had made a mistake, apologizing to her.

Fang Li was both surprised and suspicious. No wonder she noticed that most of the people at the table looked timid and strange when she entered the room today.

Fang Li couldn't help but turn her head to look at Lu Jie beside her, and she met his meaningful and subtly smiling eyes. Her heart clenched and she quickly looked away.

"If that's what you're talking about, then I understand." Her expression was awkward, and her body tensed slightly. "Now that you've said everything, can I leave?"

"and many more."

As he spoke, he suddenly sat up and moved closer to Fang Li. Fang Li quickly shrank back and pressed herself against the back of the chair, her gaze sharp as she looked at him.

Lu Jie put one hand on the back of her chair and the other on the edge of the table in front of her, staring at her: "Don't you think I'm much more reliable than Han Lao Er? So, how about you consider following me?"
