Chapter 253 Miss Xia, do you think I'm joking?



Xia Yunxi was speechless and choked.

Sitting blankly on the edge of the bed, staring at the box lying quietly in the drawer, Xia Yunxi thought about what happened yesterday, and then today...

She always felt that what Li Hanting said to Old Man Li was a joke and should not be taken seriously, so she didn't take it to heart.

When Li Hanting left, she thought about explaining it later. After all, when she said it was a misunderstanding, he didn't deny it.

But how come this happened...

Xia Yunxi thought about it, took out her cell phone, looked for Li Hanting's cell phone number, and wanted to call him. Since she couldn't meet him in person, it would be the same to explain it over the phone.

I just called, but a strange voice answered.

"Hello!"

"Oh, hello... May I ask Li Hanting..." Xia Yunxi didn't expect that a strange female voice would answer the phone.

The other party was very polite and his voice was sweet: "Are you looking for the president? I'm sorry, he's in a meeting and doesn't have his phone with him. Is there anything urgent? I can help you pass it on."

"Oh, no, nothing!"

"Okay, I'll inform the president later." The secretary politely hung up the phone.

Xia Yunxi looked at her phone and let out a long sigh.

Forget it, I can’t even see the person. It seems I can only wait until he comes back in the afternoon.

Xia Yunxi is not a stubborn person. Since she can't see Li Hanting, she will let go of the matter and do what she needs to do.

It was not until the evening that she received a call from the man.

At that time, she was checking the recent developments of the Hewei Group through surveillance.

Also, Mr. Li said that because of her incident, the Li Group lost 300 million yuan. Things in the stock market are ever-changing, but if you look carefully, there are traces to follow.

For example, she found out that the Hewei Group had recently received a huge sum of money. Although it was only 80 million, it was very likely a business transaction. However, the company that transferred the money was clearly newly established. It was named Group Co., Ltd., but its turnover was negative.

But in this small company, there are clearly several accounts that are deposited and transferred out one after another.

Xia Yunxi is currently investigating this small company.

When Li Hanting called, she answered the call without even looking at it.

A man's unique and clear voice came from the headset: "Are you ready?"

"What?" Xia Yunxi paused slightly.

"I'm on my way back now. I only have 10 minutes left for you. I hope you won't keep me waiting too long." The meaning was very clear. He had come to pick her up today as we had agreed yesterday.

Xia Yunxi was panicked for a moment, but she calmed down the next second. She stammered and asked a very stupid question: "Really, really going?"

"Miss Xia, do you think I'm joking?" The man's tone was light, but he pronounced the word "Miss Xia" very heavily.

"No, um... I think we should talk." Xia Yunxi had just finished speaking when the other party interrupted her.

"Let me remind you, you have 8 minutes to prepare."

Xia Yunxi subconsciously looked at the time on the computer screen. It was exactly the same time as he had agreed on yesterday.

She hung up the phone in a hurry. From what Li Hanting said, he didn't give her a chance to refuse.

Isn’t it just eating?

You can talk about it in a restaurant. Some things need to be made clear, otherwise the misunderstandings will only make everyone unhappy.

Xia Yunxi did not wear the clothes that the housekeeper had the costume designer send her. Instead, she rummaged through her own clothes and found a white woolen coat, paired it with high heels and put on a scarf. She felt pretty good about herself.

However, when her eyes met that man's at the door, he raised his eyebrows frivolously, and then frowned slightly, not noticeably.

Xia Yunxi knew that he was not satisfied with her outfit, but she did not say anything. She just said lightly, "Go wait for me in the car first."

Then he walked upstairs.

Xia Yunxi followed his back with her eyes until he was out of sight, then she walked out of the villa.

The driver had already turned the car around and was waiting quietly by the roadside.

Seeing Xia Yunxi coming out, the driver was very discerning and got out of the car to help her open the door.

"Thank you." Xia Yunxi thanked softly and sat in the back seat.

Li Hanting didn't let her wait long and came out after a while. Xia Yunxi noticed that he had changed into a new set of clothes. Although there was no difference, it was obvious that he had tidied them up.

Xia Yunxi felt a strange feeling in her heart, she couldn't explain what it was, but as the man sat beside her, her whole body stiffened unconsciously.

He straightened his spine, even leaning lightly against the back of the chair. It was possible that he was nervous for no reason.

The customized restaurant is a Western restaurant.

It was different from the last time they ate in the private room, Xia Yunxi saw it at a glance.

Li Hanting got out of the car and stood at the door. He had no intention of leaving, but turned around and looked at her.

It looked like he was waiting for her to go down from that end.

Xia Yunxi hesitated for only two seconds, then moved over, bent down and got out of the car through his door.

The man did not step back at all when she got out of the car. Instead, he held the car door with his open arms to prevent her from being hit.

It was just a simple action, but Xia Yunxi noticed it. Just because she noticed this, something inexplicably struck her heart.

It kept jumping around.

She turned back almost in a panic, making way for Li Hanting, waiting for him to close the car door, and said, "Let's go!"

Xia Yunxi's frantic heartbeat had not yet calmed down. Not only that, in this cold night, even though she was wearing very thin clothes, she felt her cheeks were burning like a fever.

Xia Yunxi, are you sick? Why are you so upset?

Xia Yunxi couldn't help but complain about herself in her heart while quickly catching up with Li Hanting.

Because the seat was reserved in advance, we were led by the waiter and sat down at the seat.

Li Hanting took the order first, then asked Xia Yunxi about her taste and ordered the meal in a few words.

"Is there anything you should avoid eating?" the man asked.

"No!"

"Okay, that's all." After handing the menu to the waiter, Li Hanting looked at the woman in front of him, "What are you going to do after dinner?"

"No, nothing to do... go home?" Xia Yunxi didn't understand what he meant by asking this?

"There's nothing to do. Let's go to the movies together after dinner." Li Hanting's voice was deep and magnetic, and he had already made a decision.

Xia Yunxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Only then did she regain her sanity, "Mr. Li, is there some misunderstanding between us that hasn't been clarified?"

"What do you mean?" The man leaned lazily on the back of his chair and looked at her expressionlessly.

"For example, I didn't take what you said to Mr. Li seriously. I also understand that you were trying to give Mr. Li an explanation at the time."
