Chapter 170 You're More Annoying Than a Thug
Shen Jiheng's kiss came suddenly, and Han Xi hurriedly pushed him aside and stood up.
She didn't want what happened last time to happen to the two of them again. She kindly brought Shen Jiheng back out of sympathy, knowing that he had been hurt by this incident.
Shen Jiheng opened his blurry eyes and saw Han Xi about to leave. He didn't know where the strength came from, but he stood up abruptly, rushed forward, and hugged Han Xi tightly.
"Han Xi, don't go!"
Han Xi struggled with all her might, but she couldn't break free no matter what she did.
Normally, Shen Jiheng is easy to deal with, and I wouldn't do anything to upset her if I was worried about making her angry.
However, it's hard to say about Shen Jiheng now. His behavior is out of control, and what's more troublesome is that he's not clear-headed enough.
"Shen Jiheng, don't take advantage of being drunk to bully people. If you don't let go, I will never talk to you again."
At this moment, Shen Jiheng couldn't listen to anything else; only by holding her could he feel at ease.
Han Xi was hugged too tightly by him, and she patted his hands and said, "Okay, I won't leave, let's go to sleep."
His eyelids are drooping, he must be incredibly sleepy. It seems I'll have to wait until he falls asleep before leaving.
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiheng reacted, pulling her hand and gently tossing her onto the bed.
As soon as Han Xi lay down, he grabbed her waist with his big hands, as if worried she would run away, and put his legs on hers as well. Now she was even more unable to leave.
Han Xi stared at the ceiling and yawned. Who wouldn't be sleepy at this hour, especially lying on a soft and comfortable bed? She was overcome with drowsiness and didn't know how long she could stay awake.
The sound of Shen Jiheng muttering to himself could still be heard in his ears. He was so sleepy, why wasn't he asleep yet?
Han Xi tried to pry the hand off her waist, but it seemed to be welded on and she couldn't budge it no matter what she did.
Han Xi narrowed her eyes, thinking that four years had passed and the furnishings in this room hadn't changed at all.
She had thought that after their divorce, Shen Jiheng would definitely make a major overhaul, but nothing happened, yet it felt like everything had changed...
In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shone into the room.
As the light and shadow shifted, a bright light fell onto the bed, and it was this light that woke Han Xi up.
Feeling the light was a bit too bright, she reached out to shield her eyes, but she could vaguely sense an even more intense gaze fixed on her.
Han Xi turned her head and, sure enough, Shen Jiheng was staring intently at her.
"You're awake! Good morning!"
After Shen Jiheng finished speaking, he revealed a bewitching smile. Even if Han Xi said she no longer loved him, he was confident that he could make this woman fall in love with him again.
Han Xi's heart tightened, and she hurriedly moved back, subconsciously checking her clothes.
Thankfully, it's the same as when I went to sleep last night.
I originally planned to leave after Shen Jiheng fell asleep last night, but it turned out that I fell asleep myself.
"Don't worry, I'm not a thug, I won't do anything to you."
Han Xi rolled her eyes at him: "But you can do things that are even more annoying than a hooligan."
Shen Jiheng looked puzzled, and Han Xi reminded him, "You can think about what you did last night."
Shen Jiheng shrugged, with a fearless expression.
"No matter what I did, bringing you back is a skill in itself."
Han Xi was amused by his words and wanted to give him two more words.
"You scoundrel!"
After saying that, Han Xi lifted the covers and got out of bed. If he wasn't worried about waking up his family, he wouldn't have bothered with him.
Although Shen Jiheng didn't quite remember what happened last night, he felt at ease knowing that Han Xi was by his side.
"I'll take you home later. I'm going to take a shower first. Wait for me."
"Absolutely not necessary."
Shen Jiheng stretched out his finger and shook it, putting on a serious expression: "You still have to listen to my orders on my turf, or you won't be able to leave the gate."
Han Xi also picked up his phone and waved it, saying with a smile, "Then it depends on whether you want to be charged with illegal imprisonment. I can make one call and Young Master Shen will be on the front page tomorrow."
Shen Jiheng was both amused and exasperated; threatening her now would be harder than climbing to heaven.
He changed the subject and said, "I disturbed the Han family last night, so I wanted to take you back and prepare a gift to apologize."
Han Xi smiled and shook her head. This Shen Jiheng wasn't a very polite person; he was just another excuse to get close to her.
Besides, it would be troublesome if he were to see the child.
"I will convey your apology for you, so you don't need to go."
Shen Jiheng quickly blocked the doorway. At that moment, the phone on the bedside table rang inappropriately. He frowned impatiently, but even so, it couldn't stop him from stopping Han Xi.
Han Xi said helplessly, "You should answer the phone first. What if there's an emergency? I'm not leaving Chongqing."
Wasn't his behavior a bit too extreme?
When Shen Jiheng heard the phone ringing incessantly, he knew it must be something urgent; otherwise, who would dare to call him repeatedly so early in the morning?
Seeing that he didn't move, Han Xi urged again: "Go pick him up quickly, what if something happens?"
Despite his reluctance, Shen Jiheng quickly walked to the bedside table, but as soon as he picked up his phone, Han Xi indeed quickly opened the door and ran out.
Shen Jiheng frowned deeply; she wanted to distract him so she could take the opportunity to leave.
Seeing that it was Qin Chuan calling, he had better have something to say, otherwise he was afraid he wouldn't have a good day.
Shen Jiheng answered the phone impatiently, and Qin Chuan said anxiously, "President, we have news from the hospital that Tongtong is dying and they need you to come over immediately."
Upon hearing this news, Shen Jiheng's pupils dilated. Although he was furious when he learned that this person had no blood relation to the Shen family, he also felt a strong urge to abandon him completely.
But hearing this news still pained him.
After all, they had spent several years together and developed feelings for each other; he had devoted almost all his energy to the child.
"I'm coming right away!"
After hanging up the phone, Shen Jiheng grabbed his coat and ran out.
Downstairs, Han Xi was stopped by Aunt Wang in the living room for a chat and couldn't leave in time. When she saw Shen Jiheng rushing down, she thought he was there to arrest her.
Han Xi quickly said, "Shen Jiheng, I don't have time to argue with you. I have to go home now."
She thought Shen Jiheng would find another excuse to keep her here, but to her surprise, he nodded.
"Go back, I have urgent business to attend to."
After saying that, he hurriedly walked out, and his reaction made it seem like something had happened.
Han Xi followed him out of curiosity and saw him making a phone call to have his driver come over immediately, the location being Hengtian Hospital.
At this moment, Han Xi should have left immediately without caring about anything, but seeing Shen Jiheng closing his eyes and rubbing his temples with a headache, looking somewhat pained, she wondered what had happened.
Feeling the gaze on Chen Jiheng, Han Xi turned her head and saw tears in his eyes.
It seems something really has happened.
"What's wrong? Where are you rushing off to?"
Shen Jiheng smiled wryly and said, "It's nothing, it's just that there's an urgent matter at the company that needs to be dealt with."
Han Xi walked up to him and said, "You don't need to lie to me. I heard you say you were going to Hengtian Hospital. Is Tongtong dying?"
Han Xi had this kind of judgment, and knowing that the child was critically ill, the fact that Shen Jiheng had this expression must mean it was related to life and death.
Shen Jiheng nodded heavily, took a deep breath and said, "Although he lived a few more years, he suffered a lot. Now, for him, it should be considered a relief."
