A car whizzed past behind me. It was driving very fast, at least over a hundred yards.
Xia Yunxi broke out in a cold sweat. Above her head, the man's voice was cold, yet contained a subtle hint of concern. However, his words were truly infuriating: "Your mind wanders even while you're walking. I really want to open your head and see what's inside."
Xia Yunxi looked up and glared at him. Her nose still ached slightly. Is this man's chest made of iron?
"What's wrong? Are you not happy with what I'm saying?" Li Hanting raised his eyebrows.
"You could have reminded me." Xia Yunxi left his chest and said in a low voice.
"According to scientific conclusions, when I warned you, your first reaction must have been to stop and look back... and then decide to dodge, or be scared! Do you know the pattern? In the few seconds you delayed, it is very likely that something bad had happened or you were injured." Li Hanting paced back and forth, using science to explain clearly what might have happened in that moment.
Xia Yunxi was extremely surprised. Can you imagine a person who is full of the smell of money and stands at the top of capitalism talking about science?
This is a subversive cognition. In Xia Yunxi's eyes, Li Hanting is a person standing on the top of a mountain. He can make clouds and rain with a flip of his hand. When such a person crosses fields, it is like surprise and thunder in winter and snow in summer, which makes people feel full of horror.
I even forgot about the rude words the other person said.
"What? Are you not convinced?" After talking for a long time, Li Hanting became dissatisfied because the woman beside him didn't say a word.
"I'm convinced." Xia Yunxi said sincerely, but then she felt that her tone was too stiff, so she sincerely thanked him, "Thank you for saving me just now."
"Yeah!" The response that burst out from his chest was indescribably soothing. Li Hanting changed the subject and said, "Come back to the old house with me tomorrow."
"What to do?" It almost became a conditioned reflex for Xia Yunxi.
"Let's go back and have a meal." Li Hanting was in a good mood, so going back to that miserable home didn't affect his mood at all.
"Are you having dinner with Mr. Li?" Xia Yunxi asked.
Li Hanting glanced at her and said in a good mood: "Don't worry, I'm here to protect you."
Xia Yunxi automatically ignored the last sentence, so she really had to have dinner with that old man Li.
Thinking about the few times they met before, the impression that Mr. Li left on Xia Yunxi was not really a good one. Fortunately, there was no relationship between them.
But Li Hanting asked her to go with him to the old house for dinner, which was a bit... meaningful.
"Can I not go? Having dinner at the old house shouldn't be considered a banquet, right?" Xia Yunxi said cautiously.
Li Hanting looked at her with a half-smile, "Miss Xia, it's not nice for you to turn your back on me at this time, is it?"
"I didn't—" Xia Yunxi said weakly.
How could she turn her back on him? Yes, she admitted that she had received a lot of help from Li Hanting, but...
"Surprisingly not. Remember to dress nicely tomorrow. I don't want the woman I take out to look pale in comparison standing next to me."
"I'm not beautiful, originally..." Xia Yunxi lowered her head and muttered.
Li Hanting stopped and turned to look at her: "I don't care whether she is beautiful or not."
Xia Yunxi opened her mouth slightly and looked up at him. It was a subconscious action.
But then, she actually saw a trace of seriousness on the man's stern face... It was hard to imagine that with the status and position of the man in front of her, he would actually say such words to a woman in such a serious manner.
Does he really not care?
Xia Yunxi couldn't figure out what kind of spouse a man like Li Hanting would choose. A strong marriage would help his woman get married in career or other aspects.
But he just happened to like her. One of the reasons why Xia Yunxi had too many doubts before was her perception of rich people.
The way rich people play is something ordinary people can't afford.
She couldn't bear Li Hanting's pursuit, because she couldn't tell whether this was just a game of conquest among his many games, or was it real, and he wanted to choose her as his partner?
The last point is too vague and too unreal.
Xia Yunxi had never thought about it, nor did she dare to have any other ideas, because she simply couldn't afford to play.
However, at this moment, after seeing the man's serious expression, she suddenly became uncertain.
It's like a hard heart with a hole broken in it, and something sprouts and grows out of it.
I can't wait to break out.
This feeling is joyful, exciting, and sweet...
Li Hanting grabbed her chin, and the deep affection expressed on his handsome face was like a big net, trapping Xia Yunxi tightly.
Unable to break free, I can only fall into the love web he has woven.
The handsome face got closer and closer until the coldness covered his lips.
Xia Yunxi closed her eyes, and the unique cool aura of the man enveloped her. It was a light kiss, not as aggressive and conquest-oriented as he was.
It was really just a simple kiss, so Li Hanting stepped back and raised his hand to brush away a strand of hair from her cheek.
Xia Yunxi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she was a little afraid to meet his gaze.
"Do you feel anything?" the man asked a question that made his cheeks burn.
Xia Yunxi didn't know how to answer, and fortunately Li Hanting didn't want her answer: "I have a feeling, here..." He grabbed her hand without saying anything and put it on his chest. It was hard to imagine that such a person would have such a fussy side.
"Do you feel it? It's beating so fast, it seems like my blood is boiling."
Xia Yunxi's palms were pressed against his chest. She wanted to dodge, but she couldn't break free from the man's shackles.
The heartbeat in her palm was steady and rapid, as if it wanted to jump out of her chest and be dissected for her to see.
Xia Yunxi's cheeks were flushed with fever. She wanted to take her hand back, but Li Hanting held it tightly, even wanting her to feel his heartbeat and his excitement.
"Let me go." Xia Yunxi was anxious.
"Did you feel it?" Li Hanting did not embarrass her, but just asked again.
Xia Yunxi refused to answer this question, and Li Hanting did not force her. He took her hand away from her chest, but did not let her go.
Instead, he held her hand, turned around and walked into the villa.
The cold wind blows on my face. It is clearly winter, and the weather forecast reports that the average minimum temperature has dropped below zero.
But after standing outside for so long, Xia Yunxi couldn't help but feel cold, and the burning sensation on her cheeks seemed to spread throughout her body.
