Chapter 245 I'm very willing

Han Xi was truly defeated by him. Who on earth was acting like a rogue and causing trouble? She hadn't rested since last night, and her eyelids were drooping.

If it weren't for the fact that she was forcing herself to stay awake to help Zhuo Qingqian with the lawsuit, she could have fallen asleep standing up.

Shen Jiheng smiled as he looked at her with half-closed eyes, "Don't struggle anymore. I'm not going to do anything to you. I just want to spend more time with you. Just relax and rest."

Han Xi was too tired to argue with him about this, so she warned him, "If you're really going to sleep, then behave yourself and don't move around."

"I promise I will never make you angry." To show his sincerity, he even held out his hand as a promise.

Han Xi grabbed the blanket, turned over, and quickly fell asleep as drowsiness washed over her.

She didn't know when it started, but she gradually let down her guard against this person.

Shen Jiheng propped his head up with one hand and looked her over. When Han Xi was lying next to him, he had never paid any attention to this woman.

These days, even taking a second look feels like a bonus.

It is said that feelings between two people will fade over time, but his feelings for Han Xi only grew stronger.

His current thought is simple: take good care of the child and win Han Xi back.

He knew, of course, that it wouldn't be easy, and that there were many obstacles between them.

Shen Jiheng pulled the blanket over her shoulders. The fact that Han Xi wasn't rejecting him like she used to was already a good result.

As night fell, Han Xi heard a burst of laughter. Thinking it was a dream, she slowly opened her eyes to find the room completely dark.

She turned on the desk lamp; she was alone in the room.

Han Xi stretched and yawned; she had slept really well that night.

She put on her coat and went outside. On the stairs, she saw Han Yuxuan wearing a big bad wolf mask, grabbing people, Shen Jiheng leading Yu Mo in a run, and even the two old people were involved.

Han Yuxuan waved her hands, making a menacing gesture.

"I'm about to catch you little lambs, so behave yourselves and become my dinner."

"Dad, run!" Han Yumo grabbed Shen Jiheng's hand and hid behind the sofa.

Han Yuxuan moved nimbly and quickly caught the two old men, laughing happily, "I've caught two more old sheep."

Seeing this, Han Xi was both amused and exasperated, and couldn't help but say, "Yu Xuan, are you bullying your great-grandfather and the others? They can't even walk as fast as you. You should go and catch your father."

These words drew laughter from inside the room. The happiest person was Shen Jiheng, as this was the first time he had ever heard Han Xi say such things to a child in public.

Grandma Gu, panting heavily, laughed and said, "I really can't run anymore. In the past, my husband and I were too busy with our business to play games with our own children. Now we want to spend time with our two great-grandchildren, but we just don't have the strength."

Han Xi went over and massaged her shoulders. "Grandma, you spoil them too much. Don't overwork yourself."

Han Yuxuan ran forward to protect her, a bright smile on his face.

"Mom, if you don't play with me, you have no idea how fast Dad runs. I've never caught him even once."

Han Xi couldn't help but glance at Shen Jiheng. It turned out that he was fixated on the two old men because he couldn't catch him.

Grandma Gu held Han Xi's hand and said, "You're rarely home, so play with the children for a while."

Han Xi nodded: "Okay, it's noisy inside, I'll take them to the yard."

The elderly people didn't find it noisy when they were playing with them, but now that they've stopped to rest, they definitely wouldn't be able to stand it if they started making a fuss.

Han Yuxuan couldn't wait to pull her out, and Shen Jiheng picked up his daughter and beckoned to her with his finger.

"Han Xi, it's all up to you now, so you have to give it your all."

Han Xi sneered, "Don't worry, I've never lost a game."

Seeing them chatting and laughing, Grandma Gu felt relieved.

Her biggest worry now is that if the old couple passes away, no one will be able to take care of Han Xi and her son.

Ding Shan's situation has already caused the Gu family a lot of trouble, and the Shen family is constantly being attacked. Gu Hongyi is handling all of this without telling Han Xi.

As for Shen Jiheng, the old couple had no other thoughts, as long as he could treat Han Xi well.

The next morning.

Han Xi personally took the child to school, and Shen Jiheng naturally accompanied him.

He wouldn't let go of any opportunity to get close to Han Xi.

Watching the two children walk into the school hand in hand, Han Xi was filled with mixed emotions.

She was initially worried that her daughter wouldn't be able to adapt to the new environment, but her ability to adapt was far stronger than she had imagined.

Han Xi had a lot to do today. When she took out her schedule, she couldn't help but frown.

Seeing her anxious expression, Shen Jiheng leaned closer and said, "Yu Mo told me something last night. Do you want to know?"

Han Xi was intrigued by these words and asked curiously, "What did she say?"

"She made new friends at school and even received a pretty hair clip as a gift."

Shen Jiheng's voice was magnetic, and his smile was very comforting.

"I didn't expect her to start telling you secrets. It seems she trusts you a lot."

"You spend too little time with her, so she doesn't have a chance to tell you."

"You're reminding me that I spend too little time at home and should spend more time with them."

Shen Jiheng smiled but remained silent, which indeed implied that meaning.

Han Xi is very busy now and is rarely home, so the two of them don't have much time alone together, which makes him somewhat resentful.

Han Xi put down the schedule and said, "Let's go on a trip after we're done with these things."

Shen Jiheng's eyes lit up; this was the first time Han Xi had extended an invitation to him.

"So, in that case, we..."

"You're just going along as an accessory; of course, you can refuse if you don't want to."

Han Xi interrupted him in time, causing a hint of disappointment to flash in Shen Jiheng's eyes.

Everyone understands what he's saying, but Han Xi is just deliberately avoiding his meaning.

It's his karma for all the things he did to hurt Han Xi back then.

“I’d be happy to. I’ll decide the location; all you need to do is make time for it.”

Han Xi nodded with a smile, feeling somewhat moved.

"Okay, I'll finish what I'm doing as soon as possible."

"Then where should I take you next?"

"I'll go to the law firm first. I have an appointment with Wang Wei and his wife, as well as witnesses, this morning. I need to talk to the defendant about some things."

Shen Jiheng asked worriedly, "Won't it be very complicated?"

Shen Jiheng can help her with business matters, but he feels somewhat lost in the unknown.

Han Xi smiled and said, "This is a very ordinary case. If all goes well, it can be resolved in the next couple of days. Don't worry, I'll go to the hospital by myself later. You don't need to come pick me up."

Shen Jiheng knew there was no way to stop her from visiting Bo Siyue, so he nodded and said, "If you need anything urgently, just contact me."

Their relationship was growing closer without them even realizing it, and Shen Jiheng knew that all they needed was a push, and he was working on it.

Shen Jiheng escorted her to the entrance of the law firm, where she saw Wang Wei and his wife waiting outside.

Han Xi greeted them and got out of the car first. Judging from the couple's anxious expressions, things didn't seem to be going well.

"Mr. Wang, you've arrived very early. We agreed to meet at 9:30 in the morning."

Wang Wei said urgently, "Attorney Han, something bad has happened! When we went to pick up the witness this morning, we found that he had run away overnight."

No wonder they're anxious; this is a big problem.
