Li Hanting glanced at the mirror with cold eyes, and unexpectedly, his eyes met the woman inside, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Xia Yunxi only felt a slight coolness brushing against the skin of her neck. It was Li Hanting who brushed away her long hair and put the necklace around her neck.
After fastening the secret button, the man stared at the woman in the mirror without blinking, especially at the necklace. The silver chain was matched with pink diamonds, sticking to the woman's fair skin. Li Hanting's eyes gradually deepened a little.
The heat all over my body, like boiling mist, seeped through my clothes and evaporated into the air.
Even so, it still feels very hot.
Li Hanting shifted his gaze away without leaving a trace and looked into the mirror: "How is it, do you like it?"
"It's too expensive." Xia Yunxi said.
"Don't women all like expensive things?" Li Hanting raised the corners of his mouth, his voice magnetic and pleasant.
"I'm not. It's too valuable. I'm afraid I won't be able to repay you!"
"Oh, you know what I want?"
Xia Yunxi also looked into the mirror intently. She raised her hand and touched her neck. "It's not really a sample, is it? Mr. Li gave me this necklace. What do you want?"
"Heh." Li Hanting laughed in anger. He turned around and half leaned against the dressing table, his arms folded across his chest, looking at the woman beside him: "Do I have to have a purpose before I can take action?"
"What else?" Xia Yunxi pursed her lips.
Unexpectedly, Li Hanting reached out and grasped her chin, forcing her to face him. Looking at this woman, who was pure and beautiful without makeup, yet possessed a foundation as radiant as the sun, for some reason, his heart softened when he met her penetrating eyes. He sighed, "Whatever you think. If you don't like it, just throw it away."
After saying that, he let her go, stood up and left the room.
The sound of the door closing caused a commotion, and then everything returned to calm.
Xia Yunxi sat motionless on the chair. She looked at herself in the mirror, wondering if she was being ungrateful.
Anyone would be angry that she was like this, even though the president of the Li Group had condescended to come and please her.
But Xia Yunxi felt that she could not treat it with a normal heart even though she knew it was impossible. She held herself too tightly and refused to let go for a moment, so she could not easily try anything in love.
In the middle of the night, the cell phone suddenly rang.
Xia Yunxi was half asleep. She had forgotten whether she had turned her cell phone to silent mode last night.
The persistent ringtone was like a devil's sound in her ears. Finally, Xia Yunxi was annoyed by it and reached out from under the quilt to grab the phone on the bedside table.
After touching it, he glanced at it and answered it, "Hello..."
"Hehe, Xiao Xixi, are you still sleeping in?"
A pleasant male voice seemed to be right next to her ear, and Xia Yunxi suddenly woke up.
She looked at her phone, then put it to her ear and asked uncertainly, "Ye Chengjun?"
"Oh, how sad! It's only been a few months since we last met, and you can't even recognize my voice?" The person on the other end of the phone shouted exaggeratedly.
Xia Yunxi sat up and raised his hand to support his forehead: "Brother, please, can you check the time next time you call?"
"Oh, the sun is already high in the sky here."
Xia Yunxi almost wanted to throw her pillow in anger. "Brother, the sun is out where you are. Can you please compare it with the time on the other side of the earth?"
"How did you get my phone number?" Xia Yunxi thought of Mu Feng again. She was so upset that she wanted to die because her sleep was disturbed. "It's the middle of the night here now. You disturbed my sleep. We can settle this account next time. Now I need to go to sleep."
Finally, a warning: "Don't call me again."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and Xia Yunxi went straight to sleep. She was already drowsy, and being disturbed like this made her head feel even more confused and painful.
On the other side of the river, a man sitting under an umbrella by the swimming pool was looking at the phone in his hand, feeling a bit amused.
Hmm, isn't it still dark over there now?
Assistant Liu actually lied to him and said it was bright, which caused him to be scolded.
The young man touched his chin with his thumb, thinking of the woman's annoyed voice on the phone just now. His brows curved in those eyes that were like mirrors, hiding everything.
He knew that if he disturbed the woman's sleep, she would definitely come back with a gun the next day to avenge the interruption.
——
Xia Yunxi had no idea what was happening with Ye Chengjun, and she was still a little confused when she woke up the next day.
It was not until she saw the call record on her phone during breakfast that she uttered a soft "Huh".
Immediately, the father and his two sons at the table all looked over.
"Mommy, what's wrong?" Xia Yuan asked first.
"Um, nothing..." Xia Yunxi had just finished her response when Xia Yuan stretched her neck to see the phone screen. She exclaimed, "Ah!" Then, with her eyes wide open, Xia Yuan asked, "Mommy, was it Uncle Ye who called? Did he mention my Dabai?"
Dabai is the puppy that grew up with Xia Yuan.
It was a big and docile golden retriever. At the beginning, Xia Yunxi had to balance her studies and work part-time, and she was so busy that she almost had no time to rest. And it was that big golden retriever that accompanied Xia Yuan.
Dogs are very psychic. It's said that leaving a three-year-old child alone at home, who would be at ease? But Xia Yu'an not only didn't make trouble, but on the contrary, surrounded by dogs, he played happily, slept when he was tired, and fed himself when he woke up.
Although it might make the floor very messy and dirty, it did save Xia Yunxi a lot of time.
Thinking about it now, she was really too careless at the time. An An was only three years old, and she dared to do that...
Xia Yunxi lowered her eyes to hide the sadness in them and picked up some food for Xia Yu'an. "Uh, Mommy didn't ask... I just saw him call."
Xia Yunxi didn't lie. She originally thought she was dreaming last night.
Li Hanting looked at the interaction between the mother and son indifferently, and then saw Xia Yuan calling him Uncle Ye, and it was impossible not to conclude that the other party was a man.
His brows furrowed slightly as he looked at Li Jinchen who was sitting next to him. He only cared about eating and looked so well behaved that he never even raised his head.
Li Hanting couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, he just felt upset. He picked up a piece of pancake for Li Jinchen.
The little guy looked up at him in confusion. Well, two pancakes and a glass of milk a day were enough for him.
Dad knows about it and says it’s shameful to waste food, so why did you still give it to him?
Xia Yuan on the other side was already pestering Xia Yunxi for her cell phone, saying frankly that he wanted to call Uncle Ye and tell him to take good care of his Dabai.
