Chapter 291 An Irresistible Allure

Han Xi smiled, not looking angry. The sunlight from the window shone on her, as if bathing her in a soft glow, making her look even more gentle.

Shen Jiheng didn't drink any alcohol, but he felt completely drunk.

"I understand. We'll go together once Yumo is feeling better."

Han Xi nodded; this was the life she wanted.

Shen Jiheng rested his chin on his hand and gazed at her, wishing time could stop at this moment, so that he and Han Xi could stay there quietly and comfortably forever, undisturbed by anyone.

An hour later, the two came out of the coffee shop, and Han Xi smiled calmly and said, "You should know what I'm going to do next. Remember what you promised me."

Shen Jiheng nodded: "I know, think about it again."

Han Xi had already thought it through before coming to him, so there was no need to delve into the issue any further.

Leng Yu drove over, and Han Xi waved and got into the car.

Although Shen Jiheng had a smile on his face, only he knew that a knife was hidden behind it.

If Bo Siye were to harm Han Xi, he would personally skin him alive.

Without Shen Jiheng's interference, Han Xi's guarantee agreement was quickly finalized. Next was the signing process between Bo Siye and the bank, scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.

Han Xi personally went to tell Bo Siye the news, and he excitedly grasped Han Xi's hand.

"Han Xi, you are my lucky star. Thank you for standing by my side and for believing in me."

Han Xi agreed to his request partly because he had saved her life; she vaguely sensed that the feud between the Bo and Shen families had not ended.

No matter what happens in the future, she can face Bo Siyue with a clear conscience.

Han Xi withdrew his hand without showing any emotion and said with a smile, "I believe you can definitely make this education business a success. I can also help you with the subsequent investment promotion."

A hint of surprise flashed in Bo Siye's eyes. It was already quite difficult to get Han Xi to vouch for him, but he didn't expect her to offer to help with the publicity.

You have to understand that publicity is about appearances; if problems arise in the future, she will be implicated.

"You trust me that much?"

"Of course, I've staked everything on this, so I'm hoping to achieve a win-win situation with you."

Bo Siye was moved; how wonderful it would be if Han Xi could also give him her heart.

He could have loved this woman with all his heart, so why did he choose his mortal enemy?

"Don't worry, I promise you won't regret your decision today."

Han Xi smiled gently, knowing that Bo Siye was cheering up and that his injuries would heal quickly.

Han Xi had other things to attend to and went back to the company first. Mr. Fang said that the other party had called again to beg for mercy, and he wanted to deal with these matters as soon as possible.

Han Xi immediately contacted the other party's lawyer and finally reached a settlement, paying Mr. Fang 50,000 yuan in compensation for emotional distress. If the matter had gone to court, the amount would have been much higher.

The other party then submitted the child's injury assessment and a statement of the situation to the traffic police department, successfully getting Mr. Fang's driver's license back and canceling the fine.

The next morning, Han Xi was stopped as soon as he arrived in the company lobby.

The person blocking the way was none other than Mr. Fang, whose face was full of gratitude.

He excitedly handed her a fruit basket and a large red envelope.

"Attorney Han, I came here specifically to thank you. If it weren't for your help, I would probably be unemployed today. Please accept these."

Han Xi smiled and led him to a rest area, where she asked the receptionist to pour him a glass of water.

"Mr. Fang, did you come to wait for me so early in the morning?"

"Yes, I felt uneasy about you returning the thank-you fee I transferred to you yesterday. I felt I had to give you something in return."

Han Xi smiled and said, "I'm doing this for charity. It doesn't cost any money, so you don't need to feel bad. As long as you pass on this kindness in the future, you can come to me if you encounter any difficulties."

Mr. Fang smiled warmly: "It's our good fortune to have met such a good lawyer like you. Please accept this fruit basket no matter what."

Seeing his sincerity, Han Xi couldn't refuse and accepted it with a smile.

"Then I won't be polite, thank you for the gift."

Mr. Fang thanked him repeatedly before leaving, and Han Xi was in a great mood.

Helping others really does make you happy.

When Han Xi returned to the office, Peng Ling came over with the R&D department's expense report.

"President Han, Minister Qiu says he wants to purchase two batches of high-grade raw materials, and he needs your signature."

Han Xi took the folder and said casually, "Our Assistant Peng is really dedicated to the R&D department. Every time I come, if their department is involved, you're the first one to bring it over."

Upon hearing this, Peng Ling hurriedly explained, "No, Mr. Han, I just know that you care a lot about the new perfume, so I've been following the progress."

Han Xi looked up at her and saw that she was clutching the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, which was obviously a sign that she was lying.

Why are you so nervous? I was just mentioning it casually.

Peng Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "I thought President Han thought I was being too fussy. Well then, I'll go get you the forms that other departments need to sign."

Han Xi nodded nonchalantly and waved for her to go about her business.

As Peng Ling turned around, Han Xi could still smell her unique scent, which meant he would have to train a new assistant.

At noon, Shen Jiheng came downstairs to the company again. In his own words, if Han Xi wasn't around, he felt like he was chewing wax when he ate.

Han Xi put down the documents in her hand and went downstairs, where she saw Shen Jiheng standing in the middle of the hall.

This wasn't his first time here, but every time he did, he attracted the attention of passersby.

Putting aside Shen Jiheng's physique and appearance, even popular celebrities can't compare. He's like a dazzling star; no matter where he stands, he's the first person you notice.

His eyes were fixed on Han Xi's voice alone.

The person who was just moments ago as cold and aloof as a statue revealed a smile that could charm anyone to death when they saw Han Xi.

"Han Xi, I'm here."

"I saw it!"

Han Xi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him; he was so dazzling that it was hard not to notice him.

Seeing someone secretly taking pictures of him, Han Xi quickly walked over, took his arm, and led him outside.

Sensing that Han Xi's mood was a little different, Shen Jiheng asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Han Xi said seriously, "From now on, don't wait for me in the lobby. Just wait in the car. If you can't wait, come to my office."

Shen Jiheng expressed his confusion, saying, "I was just worried that going up there would affect your work."

"It won't have any impact!"

Han Xi spoke quickly, and seeing his puzzled expression, she realized that her reaction had been a bit excessive.

She quickly looked ahead, coughed, and said, "I'm very hungry. Let's hurry up; we have a lot of work to do this afternoon."

She now wants to finish her work as soon as possible so she can go home and be with her children.

Shen Jiheng followed behind her. Although Han Xi didn't say anything, he sensed that she seemed a little angry.

But he didn't do anything; he just stood in the lobby for ten minutes. What did he do to upset her?

Upon arriving at a nearby restaurant, the two attracted a lot of attention due to their good looks, and Han Xi surprisingly chose a private room.

For some reason, she had a feeling that she wanted to hide Shen Jiheng away.
