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

Han Xi said he would try it, but he didn't touch his chopsticks. Instead, he just looked at her with a shallow gaze.

Fang Li stopped chewing, her hand holding the chopsticks paused. What did he mean? Could it be...? She looked down at the food on her chopsticks.

She had just moved, about to say that she had chopsticks too, when she saw the man who was sitting suddenly get up from his chair and lean over.

When she left, her chopsticks were empty.

"It tastes really good." He squinted his eyes and savored it carefully.

His tone was clearly serious, but the way he said it carried an inexplicable ambiguity. It was unclear whether the word "not bad" referred to the food or something else.

Fang Li's cheeks flushed, and she immediately lowered her eyes in a panic, almost dropping her chopsticks.

This man is really...

How come she never noticed this wicked side of him before?

Later, Fang Li didn't know how she finished the meal.

The dishes were the same, but she felt a numbness on her tongue and couldn't taste anything.

Han Xi didn't seem hungry, so he ate very little during the meal. He mostly just watched her eat. By the end of the meal, she felt like the half of his face that was closest to hers was almost cooked.

After dinner, the two drove home.

On the way, Fang Li no longer had to face Han Xi alone.

Wen Yang sent her a WeChat message, and she chatted with her with her eyes downcast.

Wen Yang said that this corporate summit is the grandest event in Haicheng to date. It is said that not only government representatives, well-known scholars and entrepreneurs from all walks of life were invited, but the banquet even invited many film and television stars to help out. She was fortunate to represent her company to follow and cover the whole event.

Fang Li said, "It seems like it's a long way off before my partner leaves."

Wen Yang replied, "That's right, your sister is also a top performer in the industry, I'm highly sought after wherever I go, okay?"

Fang Li said, "Okay, I know you're outstanding. Remember to treat me to a meal next time we meet."

Wen Yang: "Just because I'm outstanding doesn't mean you should be begging me to treat you to dinner! Why should I be the one to pay for you!"

Fang Li: "So even the industry leader is a miser."

Wen Yang: "Who are you calling stingy! Just wait, next time you come, you can pick whatever you want from the food street in the university town!"

Fang Li chuckled: "Go wash up and go to bed."

A few seconds later, Wen Yang sent an emoji of throwing off the covers and rolling into bed, followed by the question: "How's it going? Has your relationship with your CEO Han progressed by leaps and bounds? Are you going in and out a lot?"

Behind the person coming in and out is a mischievous little face.

Fang Li blushed, glanced subconsciously at the man beside her who was focused on driving, and tilted her phone screen slightly to reply, "Don't you have anything to do all day? Why can't you use your paparazzi potential for something else? Why do you always focus on us?"

Wen Yang: "Well, people are just concerned about you. After all, you're the only one around me who was born into a wealthy family and married into one."

Fang Li lowered her head and typed quickly: "I was almost scared to death by another wealthy family today. I feel like I'm going to have indigestion from the food I ate."

Wen Yang sent a question mark: "What did he do to you? Did he force you to eat stones?"

Fang Li: "It's even more terrifying than eating stones. He... used my chopsticks to eat."

Wen Yang: "......"

Then came a laughing emoji: "Pear, have you forgotten you're already married? Even if he were to... well, it would be perfectly reasonable. Let me tell you, there are plenty of men who want to share a meal with a handsome and wealthy CEO like Mr. Han. You'd better hold on tight, or someone else will snatch the prize away from you, and you'll have nowhere to cry then."

She said a long string of words, but Fang Li only saw two: "What... is that?"

Wen Yang rolled her eyes through the phone: "What do you think, Little Pear Cat~" followed by a pouting emoji.

Fang Li's heart skipped a beat: "Ugh, you're such a pervert! I'm not talking to you anymore, goodbye!"

The car slowly turned into the manor. Seeing that she had stopped talking, Han Xi finally spoke up: "Has Yu Tian arrived? I'm going to Haicheng on a business trip tomorrow. If he hasn't arrived, I'll have Jiang Bei pick you up."

Fang Li turned her head: "Haicheng? So suddenly? Are you going to attend a corporate summit?"

"you know?"

"Wen Yang told me that her company wanted to follow up with an interview."

The car stopped at the entrance. Han Xi turned off the engine but didn't get out. He turned to look at her and asked, "What else did she say to you?"

Fang Li was puzzled.

The man's dark eyes flickered slightly, and a thin smile curved his lips as he asked, "Why does she call you Little Pear the Cat?"

"..." Fang Li was stunned.

Did he see it?

"I didn't mean to look." He looked somewhat innocent and gestured with his chin towards the passenger window. "It was too obvious, I had to look."

Fang Li looked in the direction he pointed, and the dark car window reflected her shiny phone screen, showing everything on it.

With a sudden burst of energy, she frantically turned off her phone.

"It's nothing. You know you're going on a business trip tomorrow. I'll help you pack your luggage."

Watching the woman flee in panic, Han Xi couldn't help but chuckle, "Little Pear Cat..." It sounded so nice.

-

The next day.

Fang Li deliberately slept in a little later, and sure enough, Han Xi had already left.

When she came downstairs, there was another familiar figure in the living room, sitting on the sofa looking at his phone.

"Brother Tian?! Didn't you say you had something to do and would be a couple of days late? Why are you here so early!" Fang Li happily went downstairs.

Yu Tian wore a pair of military green cargo pants tucked into camel-colored high-top shoes, and his upper body was still a simple black T-shirt.

Seeing Fang Li come downstairs, he also got up and walked towards her, a faint smile on his lips: "I'll come when I've finished my business."

"I don't have anything important to do here. If you're busy, you can come a few days later."

"It's okay, are you going to work now? I'll go get the car."

Fang Li turned around and glanced at Aunt Rong, who was busy in the restaurant, and said to him, "Have you had breakfast? Let's have something together before you go."

Yu Tian arrived right after getting off the plane. He was indeed fine, and upon hearing this, he didn't stand on ceremony and went over with Fang Li.

Half an hour later, the two finished their breakfast.

With Yu Tian by her side, Fang Li felt much more at ease.

It's not that Han Xi lacks a sense of security, but rather that his aura is simply too powerful; when he's around, she always finds herself involuntarily tensing her toes.

She didn't know why, but she got nervous very easily.

A single glance or expression from him could easily stir her emotions; she felt that she was no longer herself in his presence.

Especially after what happened at the dinner table last night, she realized that he was subtly infiltrating her life, and she was completely unaware that he was gradually encroaching upon her.

He had already influenced her to this extent without her even knowing it, and this feeling... made her panic and confused.

Fortunately, he was away on a business trip, which gave her a good opportunity to sort out her feelings and think about how to get along with him in the future.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, some people are also troubled by love.

At the film and television base, a scene had just finished filming and was taking a break.

Watching Song Yuchen silently board the RV, Yu Wei stood far away, biting her lip in anger.
