Chapter 489 Willing to Serve President Shen
Han Xi laughed when she heard this, "You really don't hold back at all."
Shen Jiheng said contentedly, "Of course I have to make use of this resource; this is called keeping the good stuff within the family."
Han Xi nodded: "That's absolutely right. I'm willing to serve President Shen."
These peaceful days almost made Han Xi forget that they were still in trouble, but as long as Shen Jiheng was by her side, she was not afraid of any difficulties.
In the afternoon, Han Xi stayed in the office to help him process some simple documents and review the new contract, pointing out a few details.
After checking it over, Shen Jiheng couldn't help but say, "As expected, everyone has their own expertise. I looked at it several times and didn't find these problems, but you found them at a glance."
Han Xi laughed and said, "Don't challenge my expertise. If you can't even see these things, how do you think I make a living?"
Shen Jiheng pinched her cheek and teased, "With a face like yours, you're better off staying at home."
Han Xi raised her hand and pinched his face, saying, "Then I'll let you go out and show your face in public, to attract those pretty girls."
Shen Jiheng tugged at the corners of his mouth, a seductive smile playing on his lips.
"So that's what you're worried about."
Han Xi replied truthfully, "Of course I'm worried. In the past, I was afraid that you would have affairs outside, and I was also afraid that you would abandon me."
Shen Jiheng pulled her onto his lap, hugged her, and said, "Are you still scared now?"
Han Xi shook her head: "I'm not afraid. You gave me enough confidence to believe that you will stay with me for the rest of my life."
Shen Jiheng gave her a hard kiss on the cheek.
"Good, just remember this: if I no longer love you, it must be because I've become a ghost."
Han Xi immediately covered his mouth and said with a wry smile, "Don't make this so serious. There are so many temptations in this world, and not many relationships last forever. Some relationships don't just change, they just disappear naturally. I can understand that."
But Shen Jiheng was shocked to hear this and immediately cupped her face in his hands, turning her towards him.
"I won't allow it. Listen carefully, even if I become an old man with white hair and all my teeth fall out, you are not allowed to change your mind."
Han Xi was both amused and exasperated, and quickly nodded upon seeing his serious expression.
"Okay, I promise you, I will never change my mind and will always love you."
Shen Jiheng frowned. "You didn't put your heart into it. Say it again."
Han Xi was amused by him. She had never known before that Shen Jiheng would worry that she didn't love him.
"I, Han Xi, promise Shen Jiheng that I will love him for the rest of my life."
Shen Jiheng was moved and kissed her lips. Even if Han Xi couldn't do it, he would keep this woman by his side forever, and no one could take her away.
Han Xi hugged his neck in response; she had forgotten how long it had been since she and Shen Jiheng had enjoyed such a romantic time together.
If only there were no more conflicts, they could stay happily together.
With Han Xi's help, Shen Jiheng achieved twice the result with half the effort, completing all the documents that needed to be reviewed over the past few days in just one afternoon.
Shen Jiheng twirled the pen in his hand and said with a smile, "You are a great hero today, I will reward you."
Han Xi pointed to the project contract on the table and said, "How about giving me 20% of the profits?"
Shen Jiheng shook his head and said in a serious tone, "Attorney Han, isn't this deal a bit too easy? 20% is over a million. Is that all you get paid for an afternoon?"
Han Xi was amused by him, and pretended to be serious as she walked behind him, placing her hands on his shoulders and gently sliding them forward.
"If President Shen is unwilling to give bonuses, that's fine too. We can use something else instead."
Shen Jiheng raised an eyebrow, looked up with a charming smile, loosened his tie and said, "If Attorney Han doesn't mind, my body is still worth some money. Do you think it can be used to pay off the debt?"
Han Xi unbuttoned his shirt and put his hand inside, grinning mischievously, "Then I have to test it first, who knows if it'll work."
Shen Jiheng hooked his arm around her neck and kissed her, raising an eyebrow as he looked at her, having forgotten how long it had been since the two of them had been this relaxed.
Han Xi's eyes sparkled; their eyes were filled with each other.
Han Xi cupped his face and slowly approached him. An inappropriate phone call came in. She was about to hang up when she saw that it was Liang Dong calling, and her expression turned serious.
"It's Liang Dong."
Shen Jiheng frowned. This guy really knows how to pick his timing.
Han Xi answered the call and heard a weak voice from the other end.
"Han Xi, save Bai Xue, I have no way to protect her."
"What's wrong with you?" Hearing that his voice sounded off, Han Xi realized that something was wrong.
Shen Jiheng also became alert and asked her to turn on the speakerphone.
Han Xi did as instructed, and when she didn't hear a response, she quickly asked, "Liang Dong, where are you? What happened?"
Liang Dong coughed a few times before responding: "Bai Xue woke up this morning and told me everything. I know that Bo Siye is the one who harmed her and I want to help her get revenge. I originally wanted to ambush him, but he noticed me."
Han Xi frowned. What kind of person was Bo Siye? He had expert bodyguards around him, and it was not someone an ordinary person could get close to.
"Cough cough, he had his bodyguards beat me up and then took Bai Xue away. I couldn't stop him."
"I'm coming right away, hang in there."
Shen Jiheng nodded. While she was making the call, someone had already been arranged to wait in the garage.
The two quickly went outside, and Han Xi said, "I promised Bai Xue that as long as she survived this mission, I would give her her freedom."
Shen Jiheng nodded. He naturally remembered that. What he didn't understand was why Bo Siye took Bai Xue away.
Han Xi had considered Liang Dong's current situation, but when the two arrived and saw the scene, they were also shocked.
Liang Dong's arms and legs were broken, his body was covered in wounds, and there was blood everywhere. He had already passed out.
Han Xi couldn't understand it. Liang Dong was Bo Siye's classmate, and the two had a fairly good relationship. How could he be so ruthless towards someone he knew? Was he even human?
Fortunately, the two had called an ambulance before they arrived, and the person was taken to the hospital in time.
Han Xi frowned and said, "Now that Bai Xue has been taken away by him, the situation is very bad."
He showed no mercy to his friends, and Bai Xue knew of his crimes, so how could Bo Siye possibly let her off the hook?
Shen Jiheng's expression was also solemn; this situation was indeed beyond his control.
"I have arranged for people to retrieve nearby surveillance footage and track their movements. We will have news soon."
Han Xi said with a headache, "What I'm worried about now is what Bo Siye's purpose is in taking her away. Does he intend to use her to threaten us?"
The key question is: what exactly is Bo Siye planning to do, since there is no relationship between them and Bai Xue that can be threatened?
Shen Jiheng reassured him, "Don't worry about that now, let's wait until Liang Dong wakes up before we talk about it."
Han Xi nodded, feeling sorry for Liang Dong. Four years ago, he went through a lot of trouble to return to China to find Bai Xue, but he mistook Gu Hanxi for her and was beaten up by Shen Jiheng's bodyguard because of it.
After many years, he finally found Bai Xue and the two were able to reunite, but then this happened. It's truly a cruel twist of fate.
Liang Dong was sent to Hengtian Hospital. When Shen Jiheng arrived, the hospital director told him some good news.
"Mr. Shen, the master has just woken up."
This is definitely not good news for Shen Jiheng.
