Chapter 121 Has she fallen for him again?

There were very few ways to trap Han Xi, but Shen Jiheng accurately grasped the key points, which allowed him to walk alongside her.

"Didn't you say you had some details to discuss? Then go ahead and say them."

Han Xi wanted to see what kind of tricks he could come up with.

To everyone's surprise, Shen Jiheng pointed out the real problem right away.

"Regarding the issue of the outsourced cover for your new product, I don't think it's very suitable for your theme. I can provide a more professional designer to come up with a new design."

Han Xi couldn't help but glance at him; this was indeed a problem she had discovered upon returning to China.

She had been dissatisfied with the packaging of the new product and was still discussing the issue with the design department recently, but little did she know that he had already figured it out.

Seeing that Han Xi did not respond, he said again, "This time, let our packaging supplier help you solve the problem. When you sell well, we can also make more profits. It's a win-win situation. President Han knows how to weigh the pros and cons, so he shouldn't refuse."

If Shen Jiheng is put in charge of the design issues, then they will need to communicate frequently.

Han Xi shook her head: "No need, I can solve this problem myself."

Shen Jiheng smiled calmly and said, "It seems that President Shen is not very suitable for doing business. Businessmen don't talk about feelings and only care about interests. You are going to launch a new product next month. Logically speaking, you should have a lot of things to do recently."

Shen Jiheng must have thoroughly understood the situation of her company to be able to say these words with such confidence.

Han Xi was naturally unhappy after being criticized like that by the business tycoon.

If it were anyone else, she definitely wouldn't even consider it. This is Shen Jiheng, whom she has been avoiding all along!

"Don't pry into other people's company matters. I have my own plans."

We must not let Shen Jiheng get any closer, lest one day we find ourselves unable to shake him off.

Seeing her determination, Shen Jiheng didn't say anything more and nodded slightly: "Since you won't listen to my advice, there's nothing I can do. If you need anything, just ask."

Han Xi didn't respond and turned to look out the window, wondering how she could possibly avoid seeing or having any contact with him.

Seeing that the car was about to reach the Gu family's house, Han Xi quickly said, "Just park outside, I'll drive in myself."

Shen Jiheng was displeased upon hearing this and pretended to be exhausted.

"I'm telling you, isn't this like crossing the river and burning the bridge? I brought you back after all, shouldn't you at least offer me a drink or something? That's how you treat a guest."

Han Xi pointed to the roadside and said fiercely, "You offered to give me a ride, I didn't ask you to. Now pull over right now."

Shen Jiheng refused, so Han Xi went to pull the car door open, which made Shen Jiheng slam on the brakes.

"Han Xi, are you serious? Do you know how dangerous that was? What if there was a car behind you when you opened the door?"

Although he was angry, Shen Jiheng was worried that she might do something rash again, so he parked the car on the side of the road. He just couldn't understand why Han Xi seemed so afraid of him going to Gu Jia's house.

Han Xi was just bluffing him; she didn't really mean to open it.

After Shen Jiheng parked the car, she immediately got out, walked around to the driver's side, and knocked on the car door to ask him to get out.

Faced with Han Xi's unreasonable behavior, Shen Jiheng could only take a deep breath and not get angry. Winning back his wife would definitely be difficult, and he needed to be patient enough.

However, just as he opened the car door to get out, Han Xi suddenly pushed him back.

Before Shen Jiheng could react, Han Xi pounced on him, completely baffling him.

Shen Jiheng stared wide-eyed at Han Xi, asking in confusion, "What's this?"

Han Xi said awkwardly, "Um, I... I have a cramp. Don't move, it'll be fine in a bit."

As she spoke, Han Xi quickly reached out and waved to Zhuo Qingqian in front of her, signaling her to bring the child into the house.

She was horrified to discover that Zhuo Qingqian was leading two children, skipping and hopping towards them, probably taking them to the small park ahead.

Shen Jiheng knew that the child was Gu Beichen's illegitimate child and that he was keeping it from Zhuo Qingqian. If he saw her so happy with the two children, he would definitely become suspicious.

Although Shen Jiheng didn't know why she suddenly did this, he enjoyed the result.

After all, this was the first time Han Xi had taken the initiative to approach him since their falling out.

Shen Jiheng restlessly placed his hands on her back and pressed down, trying to close the distance between them.

Han Xi was already struggling to support herself on the seat with one hand, but when he was gently pressed down with both hands, she fell directly into his arms.

"Shen Jiheng, you?"

"Don't get upset. I just saw you were struggling so much, so I was trying to ease your burden. Are you feeling better?"

Han Xi gazed into his affectionate eyes, her heart pounding wildly. She had thought her heart was dead, so why was it beating so fast?

Han Xi knew he couldn't let things continue like this, so he quickly turned his head away.

Shen Jiheng noticed the panic in her eyes, which meant that this woman still cared about him.

Han Xi took a deep breath to remain calm, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zhuo Qingqian carrying the child into the house.

But when she tried to get up, Shen Jiheng held her tightly and refused to let go.

"Just for a moment, give me a few seconds, just let me hug you."

Shen Jiheng spoke very softly, so softly that it was as if Han Xi was breathing air into his lungs, conveying a poignant sense of helplessness.

Shen Jiheng's heart is truly aching.

If he could turn back time, he would want to go back to his university days, to the time when he first met Han Xi, and be with her then, so that he wouldn't have missed so much time.

Han Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, determined not to be swayed by this person.

"I still have a lot of things to take care of, you can let me go now."

Shen Jiheng released his hand, and Han Xi took a few steps back as if fleeing, pretending to be calm as he asked him to get out of the car.

Shen Jiheng said with a smile, "Now that we're at the Gu family's doorstep, won't you ask me for a cup of tea?"

Han Xi nodded: "You, President Shen, have no shortage of good tea. Why bother going to someone else's house and causing trouble?"

Han Xi quickly got into the car and closed the door, not even daring to look him in the eye.

Shen Jiheng was very happy, at least he saw the changes in her.

"Although you have been heartless to me, I will not blame you, Mr. Han. I look forward to our next meeting."

Han Xi didn't respond and quickly drove away, but the place where he had just hugged was burning hot, making Han Xi wish he could hide in an ice cellar to calm himself down.

What's wrong with her? She's only met Shen Jiheng a few times since she came back, so why is she reacting so strongly?

Han Xi had just parked her car in the yard and was still in a daze when Zhuo Qingqian knocked on the car window several times without responding. So she opened the car door and called out to her.

"Xi Xi, what's wrong with you? If I'm not mistaken, you were with Shen Jiheng, weren't you?"

Han Xi looked up, her eyes filled with confusion. Zhuo Qingqian thought she was frightened and quickly helped her down, asking worriedly, "Did he find us? Did he see the child?"

Han Xi came to her senses, wondering what she had been thinking.

"No, luckily I blocked him in time, he didn't see anything."

"But your expression is off. I called you several times and you didn't answer. Have you fallen for that person again?"

"How is that possible!"

Han Xi raised her voice and shook her head; even mentioning such words frightened her.
