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

"Who's angry!" Fang Li immediately turned her head to the other side, her neck stiff as she said in a rigid voice, "I'm not."

Han Xi looked down at her slightly pouting red lips and suddenly chuckled.

"You're really angry, you two-faced woman."

Fang Li frowned slightly and turned to look at him: "Mr. Han, aren't you being a little too confident? When did I...?"

Want to know why I always lose control in front of you?

Fang Li pursed her lips: "......."

"I like you."

Han Xi looked at her earnestly and said, "Because I like you, I can't help but want to get closer. Because I like you, I can't help myself. Xu Fangli, you have such an influence on me that even you can't believe it. In front of you, my self-control is almost zero."

What does it mean to have your heart pounding like thunder? This must be exactly what Fang Li is feeling right now.

Her chest heaved wildly. Fang Li felt helpless for the first time. She looked up at the man in front of her. There was a faint smile on his lips and a certainty in his eyes that she had never seen before, sincere yet with a rare hint of devilish charm.

"Now can you tell me why you were so angry just now?"

"...What do you mean why? I told you I didn't."

"Are you sure?" Han Xi looked down at her, a warm smile on his lips. "You're angry that I vehemently denied my actions. You think I'm irresponsible and frivolous, right?"

Fang Li said awkwardly, "That's just your own guess. I didn't say that."

"Okay, I'll take it as my petty thinking. I apologize for my unintentional words. If something like that happens again, I promise I'll let things take their course and not talk nonsense again, okay?"

".......after?"

Fang Li's anger, which had just subsided, surged back into embarrassment, making her fair face flush slightly. Unable to bear the man's knowing but deliberate actions, she pushed him away forcefully, not forgetting to shove him.

"What a pipe dream! You can stand here all by yourself, I'm going home!"

Han Xi staggered slightly backward as she pushed him, watching her angry figure stride into the door. He raised an eyebrow, lowered his eyes, and chuckled softly.

Fang Li entered the main house, and several servants were already respectfully waiting in the entrance hall.

"Hello, madam."

Fang Li was taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, Han Xi's silent voice came from behind: "Clean up the room next to the master bedroom."

"Yes, sir." The servant acknowledged the order and hurried upstairs.

"You can stay in the master bedroom tonight, and I'll go to the guest room next door. Tomorrow morning, I'll have someone show you around, and you can change rooms if you like them."

"I'll stay in the master bedroom... You, Han Xi, actually you don't need to..."

Han Xi put his hands in his pockets and looked at her: "No need for anything? Fang Li, you and I are husband and wife. Although you haven't accepted this identity yet, it is a legal fact. I don't force you to immediately treat me like an ordinary couple, but can you please stop treating me like an outsider?"

“That’s not what I meant…” Fang Li bit her lip, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. “What I meant was that the master bedroom is your territory, and you can move out if you don’t want to…”

"..." A glint flashed in Han Xi's eyes, and his smile deepened: "Is this considered an invitation?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Fang Li's face: "What invitation? It's just about sharing a room. I didn't agree to do anything!"

A flicker of joy crossed Han Xi's eyes: "Then forget it. I already have absolutely no self-control around you. If I can only look but not touch..."

He paused for a moment, feigning distress: "I'm afraid I won't be able to resist taking advantage of your vulnerability, and then you'll probably curse me in your heart as a hypocrite and a bandit."

"You..." Fang Li bit her lip, whether she wanted to stay or not!

Anyway, it's not her who will be embarrassed if the servants find out that the couple is sleeping in separate rooms. When the news gets back to the old house, he'll be the one to explain. Why should she care?

Han Xi moved closer to her, turned her body around, lowered his head, his dark eyes fixed on the expression on her face, and said in a deep, husky voice, "Just kidding, are you angry?"

"I understand what you mean. Do you know why I didn't take you to the Han residence but came back here instead?"

"......"

"I just don't want you to suffer. Don't worry, I'll come back to the master bedroom sooner or later, and the place next to you will be mine sooner or later. Trust me, it won't be long."

Fang Li's ears burned, and she glanced at him, meeting his deep, dark eyes. She moved her lips but couldn't say a word, a hint of embarrassment flashing in her clear, watery eyes.

Han Xi smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that, or I might break my promise to you again."

...Fang Li, feeling embarrassed and annoyed, pushed Han Xi away and ran upstairs alone.

That night, she witnessed another side of Han Xi that no one else knew. What gentleman! This man was clearly a cunning and manipulative businessman at heart! A bandit!

At first, she acted so nonchalantly, saying she wouldn't force me and would give me time, but actually, she probably already had a plan in mind. Just like Wen Yang said, she came for her from the very beginning!

What's infuriating is that even though she knows his intentions, she still can't help but let him get closer and closer!

I like you.......

Fang Li took a quick shower and lay in the unfamiliar room, her mind and breath filled with images of that domineering man...

After a while, she closed her eyes and let out a sigh of relief.

She was annoyed, but not really angry. Although she was unwilling to admit it, his appearance still brought many changes to her life.

From the moment she rescued her at the beach, to his persuasion for her to let go and go home, and later his helping hand during the Xu family crisis.

And tonight, if he hadn't happened to go back with her, she probably wouldn't have been able to escape Wu Sirou's group's scheme.

Lying on the soft bed, Fang Li felt completely relaxed and at ease.

Since leaving home for Song Yuchen, she has become accustomed to dealing with everything on her own and bearing all the burdens alone. It has been a long time since she felt protected like this.

It turns out that having someone you can trust and rely on can make you feel so at ease.

Han Xi.......

He said he liked her?

Fang Li took a deep breath, suddenly pulled the pillow next to her into her arms, buried her face in it, and covered the corners of her mouth that were turning up involuntarily as her heart pounded slightly.

After a whole day filled with car accidents and other mishaps, the person in bed soon began to breathe more deeply and regularly.

The study on the other side.

Han Xi had already taken a shower and was sitting in a heavy chair wearing a navy blue bathrobe. The glowing screen of his phone in front of him made his cold eyes appear even deeper and colder.

"Don't let any of them get away with this. Let them suffer a bit before throwing them into the police station. The Wu family has become too arrogant these past two years and has almost forgotten their own limitations. Since they don't know how to raise their daughter, I don't mind teaching them a lesson. Remember, no settlement, no withdrawal of charges. Suppress them to the bitter end!"

In the darkness, his voice was exceptionally deep, carrying a chilling and menacing aura.

Lin Mo, on the other end of the phone, felt a chill run down his spine and quickly replied solemnly, "Yes, boss."
