This made Xia Yunxi, who did not break free from Li Hanting's restraints at that time, very upset.
Women don't have the upper hand in terms of strength. When she was trapped in his arms, Xia Yunxi had no power to resist at all.
Just when she was feeling extremely regretful, there was a knock on the door.
It was so sudden that it scared Xia Yunxi.
"Come out and talk."
It was Li Hanting's voice. Xia Yunxi didn't know what he wanted to talk to her about, but when she thought of what had just happened in the corridor, she suddenly slapped her cheek hard.
Don't be timid, don't be timid, there is nothing to be afraid of. It will actually be good for her if you break things down and talk about them.
After preparing herself mentally, Xia Yunxi opened the door. She glanced at the man standing outside. He had two glasses of wine in his hands and waved at her, "Come in?"
Xia Yunxi panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down, "Let's go to the balcony."
Li Hanting raised his eyebrows and said, "Rest, rest, rest, rest, rest." He said nothing.
He turned around first and walked towards the end of the corridor.
Xia Yunxi closed the door and followed him.
The New Year is approaching and the nights are very cold. However, standing on the open balcony, with the cold wind blowing on my face, my panic and helplessness gradually calmed down.
Li Hanting placed the wine glass next to her hand and looked at the dark night. His cold face seemed even colder and more unpredictable.
"Don't you have anything to say?" After a while, I heard a deep tone next to my ear, like the lowest string of a piano, ringing in my ear.
"Yes!" Xia Yunxi said subconsciously.
"Tell me about it." The man raised his hand and took a sip of wine, very casually.
"We, just now..." Xia Yunxi started hesitantly. It was obvious that she was not ready yet and didn't know how to say it.
Li Hanting's mouth curled up slightly, and he turned his head to look at the woman beside him. Then he turned around, half of his body leaning on the railing, facing her. The red wine in his hand was slightly swirled between his five fingers, letting the aroma of the wine slowly ferment: "As you can see, I think..."
She didn't say the last word. The strong aura emanating from that body seemed to envelop her, and a heat wave hit her face. Xia Yunxi felt that even if she stood on the balcony, the cold wind could not reduce the rising temperature on her cheeks at all.
Li Hanting slowly approached her, and right next to her ear, he moved his lips slightly and uttered two words: "I want you."
With a "bang", Xia Yunxi felt something explode in her mind. She looked up at him in panic. Facing those eyes like a deep ocean, Xia Yunxi suddenly woke up.
Her steps were faster than her reaction, so she took a step back to create some distance between herself and him.
Li Hanting narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw her actions: "Why, you don't want to."
"Yes." Xia Yunxi's scalp said.
Li Hanting frowned slightly, and then he heard her slow and unhurried voice: "Mr. Li, did you misunderstand something?"
"Don't say that to me." Li Hanting interrupted her, his eyes locked on her: "Why don't you want to?"
After the panic just now, Xia Yunxi has slowly calmed down. She is very clear about her inner thoughts. Because she knows the distance between them, she reminds herself all the time that the man in front of her is someone she cannot get involved with.
Precisely because it cannot be touched, how can there be any temptation?
Just as Li Hanting said, he fell in love with her, so he could do whatever he wanted easily. But such behavior was not a disrespectful violation.
What kind of person did he think she was? Someone he could easily sleep with without any pressure?
Xia Yunxi admitted that her thinking was very conservative. If any other woman had encountered Li Hanting's request, they would have agreed without hesitation. But she was different. Her life was her own. Perhaps it was the deeply ingrained concept from childhood that made Xia Yunxi feel that girls should respect themselves. Because they loved themselves, others could not hurt them in the slightest.
"Mr. Li, I'm sorry to have failed you. Actually, a man like you wants any kind of woman. Besides, we agreed on this from the beginning before I moved in!"
Li Hanting's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death. "What do you mean?"
Xia Yunxi turned her head and looked at him: "I don't want to. Mr. Li can find other women. I have never thought about getting anything from Mr. Li, nor have I ever thought about being here, being a mother and gaining status by relying on her son. What is there to covet? I'll ask An An tomorrow. If they can adapt, I will leave here."
Xia Yunxi felt that she had made her words very clear, so she turned around and didn't plan to go back to the room.
But as soon as she moved her body, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by a force. The other party didn't use much strength, but she still couldn't break free.
His body was moved out of control and he took two steps back to face Li Hanting.
"You want to leave here?"
"yes."
Xia Yunxi looked straight into his eyes without any fear. Li Hanting had already expressed his thoughts so bluntly, but she had no intention of staying here. What was the difference between her and the arrogant and self-righteous one?
"What do you mean? Am I a monster? Explain your thoughts clearly." Li Hanting's tone was not pleasant. What did he mean by "what kind of woman does he want?" What kind of person did she think she was?
However, even though his tone was bad, he still tried his best to restrain himself with his own self-control.
Xia Yunxi's brows knitted slightly. Li Hanting had already let go of her hand and snorted coldly, "Go ahead, we're all adults now, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. What do you want? Or what are you hesitating about?"
Xia Yunxi glanced at him with a little surprise. In her eyes, Li Hanting had always been domineering, self-centered and narcissistic, and would never listen to other people's opinions.
So, when he asked for her opinion, Xia Yunxi was still quite surprised.
However, my own thoughts...
Xia Yunxi raised her head without hesitation. "I'm not some other woman who will just cling to you just because you want to, nor am I someone who can play with anyone casually. I know you might scoff at me when I say this, but actually, putting aside your own wealth, we are the same people. Everyone has their own bottom line of self-esteem, so this is who I am."
Xia Yunxi looked straight into his eyes and said, without any intention of dodging.
Li Hanting frowned slightly: "Do you think that I want to sleep with you just for fun?"
"Isn't it?" Xia Yunxi said this quickly, and then thought of the misunderstanding between the two of them. "I'm not saying that I want Mr. Li to give me something. It's just that I don't like you, and your behavior has offended me."
