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

The next morning, Fang Li woke up to find that her phone had run out of battery and shut down automatically. She found the charger, charged the phone, and then put her head back on the pillow, intending to doze off for a few more minutes.

Unexpectedly, the phone, which had just been plugged in and turned on, suddenly started ringing loudly.

Fang Li's drowsy state vanished instantly, and she frowned as she grabbed her phone and opened it.

"Xu Fangli, where the hell have you been?!" Wen Yang's irritable voice came through the phone as soon as it was answered.

Fang Li frowned and quickly moved the phone away from her ear.

"Do you know how many times I've called you from last night to this morning? You're so carefree, still sleeping at a time like this?!"

After letting her finish yelling, Fang Li slowly brought the phone back to her ear and asked, "Otherwise, why would I go crazy like you first thing in the morning?"

"You said I sent...!" Wen Yang seemed to be angry, and took a breath before continuing, "I hope you can remain as calm as you are now when you see what I sent you later."

Bang, the phone hangs up.

Immediately afterwards, the phone beeped several times in a row, and more than a dozen new messages popped up in the chat box with Wen Yang.

Fang Liwo went back to bed and opened the app without thinking much of it.

She thought Wen Yang would say something to her, but instead it was a dozen or so photos. She scrolled to the top and zoomed in.

When she saw who it was, her slightly sleepy eyes blinked gently.

The photo was dark, and the time was marked on it. It was a little after 1 a.m. last night. It was taken at the entrance of a nightclub. The man was tall and slender, still wearing his usual black trousers and white shirt, and he was holding a girl in his arms.

The photo only shows the two people from behind, so their expressions are not clear.

Fang Li paused for a moment, then gently swiped the screen.

The second photo shows the two facing each other. The girl seems to be struggling, and the man is holding her hands. You can vaguely see his raised brow.

In the third picture, he stretched out his long arm and wrapped it around her shoulder. In the fourth picture, his expression was cold as he pulled her out... She continued to struggle, so he changed to a restraint. She seemed to be crying, and his brows furrowed with hidden anger. She calmed down, and he simply dragged her into the car...

Seeing this, Fang Li felt a tightness in her chest.

But as if possessed, she swiped to the next picture... The photo showed a striking sign: the H Hotel. A car was parked in front of the hotel, and the man pulled the girl out of the car and then dragged her into the hotel.

As they walked through the lobby and into the elevator, the elevator doors slowly closed. A man, holding both the girl's wrists with one hand, pinned her against a corner...

"Send me a selfie so I can see if someone is still so calm and thinks I'm going crazy this morning." As if guessing that she had already seen the photo, Wen Yang sent a new message.

Fang Li's mind was filled with those photos, and for a moment she couldn't quite process it.

After a long while, she realized what was happening and typed a line at a time: "Where did these photos come from?"

Perhaps finding typing too slow, Wen Yang made a video call instead.

Early in the morning, Wen Yang hadn't had time to put on makeup yet, her face was bare, and the dark circles under her eyes were clearly visible.

She gave a cold laugh: "What do you think? Have you forgotten what your sister does? Let me tell you, if I hadn't been quick, we wouldn't have seen these photos at all."

“You should know Jing Sen very well. He was invited to this summit. Our company’s photographer was originally going to photograph him, but before we could see Jing Sen, he accidentally photographed your CEO, Han.”

"......"

Wen Yang: "You said that over the years, as well-known young entrepreneurs in China, other bosses are all embroiled in scandals, but Han Xi is so low-key that he doesn't even have a single sex scandal. Why is that?"

Fang Li frowned.

"It's because the Han family had already internally warned all platforms in the industry not to publish or reveal any information about Han Xi without authorization. He's nipping any rumors that are detrimental to him in the bud!"

Wen Yang patted her face repeatedly while applying skincare products.

Fang Li was silent for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "He just doesn't like being talked about... The photos must be a misunderstanding."

"you sure?"

Fang Li: "......."

Seeing that Fang Li didn't speak, Wen Yang frowned. There was something she hadn't mentioned yet: the colleague who had been keeping watch said that the two of them had gone in last night and hadn't come out since.

She sighed and said, "Pear, I know you must be feeling really bad right now. I'm not telling you this on purpose to upset you, but just to give you some peace of mind. A man like Han Xi probably has a lot of secrets."

"It's not right to have secrets. Everyone has secrets, including me."

"But you're married now. Shouldn't couples be open and honest about their relationship? That's basic respect!"

Fang Li pursed her lips: "Have you forgotten that our marriage is just an arranged one? There are no feelings between him and me, so what does it matter whether we respect each other or not?"

"Can......."

"Alright." Before Wen Yang could say anything more, Fang Li interrupted her directly: "It's getting late, I have to go to work. Let's leave it at that. Just pretend you didn't see it and I don't know anything. Let's just move on from this."

...noon.

"Sister Fang Li?"

"Sister Fang Li!"

Fang Li stared at the photos on her phone, then suddenly snapped back to reality.

"Sister Fang Li, you've seemed distracted all morning. What's wrong? Did something happen?" Ji Tiantian asked worriedly.

Fang Li's pupils flickered slightly, and her gaze fell on the photo on her phone again.

After a moment, she selected the photos one by one, her thumb hovering lightly over the delete button, pausing for two seconds before dropping it.

The chat window was now clear, and I finally felt a slight sense of relief, as the tension that had been building up in my chest all morning eased.

She looked up, gave a relaxed smile, and said, "I'm fine. What about you? Did you need something?"

Although Ji Tiantian had her doubts, she didn't ask any further questions. She handed the file to her and said, "This is information on several well-known film and television companies. There are also contact details for several producers and directors. I've arranged them in order of their capabilities for you."

"Okay, I understand. I'll check it in a bit."

"besides......."

Ji Tiantian: "Yesterday after get off work, you asked me to remind you that you needed to pick up someone important from the airport today. You forgot to mention the specific time. I wanted to ask..."

Before she could finish her question, Fang Li, who had been absent-minded just a moment ago, suddenly snapped back to reality and stood up abruptly: "What time is it?!"

Ji Tiantian was startled. She glanced at the time, puzzled, and said, "It's just past midnight."

"It's over!"

Like a gust of wind, Ji Tiantian realized that there was no one behind the desk.

From the office area outside: "Brother Tian? Brother Tian! Come with me to the airport right now!"
