A shadow loomed from behind.
Xia Yunxi turned around and saw Li Hanting, holding a glass of red wine, slowly walking to her side.
With a perfect profile and deep pupils, he looked at the heavy snow outside. His clear and cold voice was rarely filled with a hint of leisure, "Do you like snow?"
"It's hard to say." For those who have never seen snow, it is rare and romantic.
But for ordinary northerners, it is only cold and sparse.
"Is your injury healed?"
"What?" Xia Yunxi didn't understand.
The man turned around and gently lifted the strands of hair from her forehead. Looking at the slightly purple mark, he frowned slightly and asked, "No medicine?"
Xia Yunxi didn't say anything, but just took a step back. She was not used to close contact with strangers.
"I stopped using it after seeing the redness and swelling went away." Besides, it was blocked by the bangs on the forehead and no one else could see it, so Xia Yunxi didn't care.
Seeing her actions, Li Hanting pressed his thin lips slightly and retracted his hand: "If your face is disfigured, you should use medicine. Don't you women care about your appearance the most?"
Xia Yunxi looked at him curiously.
"What's wrong?" Li Hanting raised his chin and glanced at her sideways.
"It's okay." Could she say that she felt incredible after hearing those words from Li Hanting's mouth? After all, given the tense relationship between the two of them, in Li Hanting's eyes, she was not considered to be beautiful.
"Mr. Li, what I told you last time, about Jinchen..."
"What happened to him?"
"I found a teacher for him, Mr. Li, who is well-known in the mathematics community..." Xia Yunxi felt it necessary to tell Li Hanting. If he also rejected her based on appearance, Xia Yunxi could only say that he was nothing special.
"Mr. Li? Did you find him?"
After all, he was a man of great reputation, so Li Hanting naturally knew more about him. However, the reason he knew more about him was not from the news reports, but from a good friend that the old man in his family had made many years ago.
Thinking that he was the old man’s good friend, Li Hanting sneered.
"Do you mind? Mr. Li is actually very powerful..." Xia Yunxi didn't know what to say: "He is not as the outside world claims."
"I know." Li Hanting interrupted her.
He moved his feet slightly, stood up straight, raised his chin slightly and took a sip of wine. The sweet and sour taste spread in his mouth, bringing back memories.
Xia Yunxi also sat quietly, watching the heavy snow falling outside the house.
In fact, she had wanted to say it a long time ago. Firstly, it would be convenient to take Jinchen out in the future. Secondly, Li Hanting was Jinchen's father after all, and she didn't want to bury Mr. Li's contribution and let him make silent contributions.
Although knowing it may not change anything, people should still be grateful.
It's worth it for that person to spend so much time and energy on it!
"When did you find him?" In the silence, Li Hanting suddenly asked in a cold tone.
"A month ago." Xia Yunxi said truthfully.
"Is he okay?" Li Hanting asked while taking a sip of wine.
Only then did Xia Yunxi understand the hidden meaning in his tone: "Do you know Mr. Li?"
“Not really!”
Well, Xia Yunxi didn’t know how to start again.
"Since we've found a good teacher, let's take him to study." After saying that, Li Hanting turned around and went upstairs.
Xia Yunxi looked at his back, her brows slightly furrowed. Does Li Hanting know Mr. Li?
Why does his tone sound so... familiar?
Unable to figure it out, Xia Yunxi stopped thinking about it.
Time flies, and New Year's Day is almost here.
The company reissued employee benefits early on. Although the company has just started, it still has some necessary welfare systems.
Just as everyone was discussing where to go for dinner in the evening, Xia Yunxi's cell phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
Doubtfully, she answered the call and heard Qin Zhe's voice, "Ms. Xia, this is Qin Zhe."
"Hello!"
"Well, I wonder if you have time? I haven't found the time to thank the man who saved the two young masters last time. So, I thought I'd take advantage of this holiday to pay you a visit."
Xia Yunxi understood. Although she was still confused when He Meiqi mentioned it last time, the Li family should not be short of money, but they did not give any compensation in person at that time.
I think the other person’s identity must be extraordinary.
Being at their level, the relationships among the clans are complicated and there might be some entanglements. It is understandable that Li Hanting did this.
Xia Yunxi agreed. She happened to be busy with a case recently and successfully won a big order. Mr. Shao waved his hand and gave everyone two days off on New Year's Day.
Everyone cheered and shouted that the boss was wise.
Mr. Shao ignored those people's flattery and went straight to Xia Yunxi.
Xia Yunxi quickly raised her hand and said, "I know. Maintain the system security. Don't worry, Mr. Shao, you don't need to arrange this."
Shao Qi frowned: "What's the joke, Xiao Shao?"
Xia Yunxi opened her mouth and subconsciously looked at other people in the company.
When those people noticed Xia Yunxi's gaze, they all shrank their heads like quails, some worked, and some laughed.
How can you just give your boss a nickname casually?
Xia Yunxi forced herself into an ugly smile. The result of having a bald mouth was really unacceptable.
Shao Qi still had something to wonder about. He glanced at everyone in the office and nodded, "Very good, it fits the name very well."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to the office.
Although Mr. Shao didn't say anything, everyone still felt a tingling sensation on their scalp.
No one dared to chat or speak anymore. Everyone was as quiet as a chicken, concentrating on the task at hand.
——
When Xia Yunxi returned to the Imperial Palace in the evening, she did not see Li Hanting. She did not care. She went back to her room and took a shower to relax, then went downstairs to find something to eat.
Originally, Xia Yunxi made it herself, but was discovered by Aunt Lin one night. So in the days that followed, Aunt Lin would always leave dinner for her and put it in the refrigerator. She could heat it up when she came back and eat it.
I opened the refrigerator and saw some food neatly arranged inside.
Xia Yunxi took it out and heated it up in the microwave. Just as she was done, she heard some movement coming from the entrance outside.
Because everyone in the villa was asleep, the air was quiet and peaceful.
So Xia Yunxi could hear clearly any slight movement outside.
She put the food on the dining table, turned and walked towards the hall. Just as she turned around the antique bookshelf, her eyes met the gaze of the man who had just returned from outside.
Their eyes met, and Li Hanting glanced away indifferently, untying his tie as he walked towards the sofa in the hall.
"I heated up some food. Would you like to eat some?" Xia Yunxi asked politely.
"Sure!" the man responded. If you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of fatigue in his tone.
Xia Yunxi nodded and turned back to the kitchen.
Aunt Lin prepared a lot of things. Maybe she was worried that she wouldn’t have enough to eat, so she even made the soup from scratch.
Xia Yunxi brought everything to the dining table. Li Hanting had already taken off his coat and walked over.
