Li Han only regarded Du Jian as a friend, a cooperative partner, and even a relationship of mutual benefit, but Li Han did not expect that Du Jian would actually develop feelings for her.
In fact, Li Han herself is very ignorant about love. Although she has never eaten pork, she has seen pigs run. When it comes to love, she is good at instigating and cheering, but she becomes timid when it really happens to her.
Seeing Du Jian's sad face, Li Han felt bad, but she knew that she and Du Jian could not be together after all, and Du Jian had already married Gui Yue. The whole Li Kingdom witnessed their wedding, so Du Jian could not let Gui Yue down.
If Du Jian lets Gui Yue down, he will not only destroy his own and Gui Yue's reputation, but also the reputation of the entire Du family in Li State, and the face of the Emperor of Li State will be damaged because of Du Jian's behavior. Then this matter will not only be a matter of the two of them. The people involved and the interests involved are too great, which is beyond their ability to bear.
Li Han thought a lot. He knew that if he had to say something, he would hurry up and say it. He would suffer from the consequences if he hesitated. "Du Jian, I know you have feelings for me, but it's really impossible for us to be together. I know how you feel about me, but I hope this is just a friendly relationship between friends, okay?"
Du Jian's hand, which was pouring the wine, suddenly froze, and his eyes changed a little, but he quickly returned to normal and said calmly, "Are we not friends now?"
Seeing that Du Jian's reaction was not as excited as before, Li Han felt a little relieved, thinking that he might have figured it out. "Of course we are friends. We have always been friends and business partners!"
Du Jian smiled and didn't answer, drinking the wine he had just poured.
Li Han continued, "Since you consider me a friend, I won't beat around the bush!" Li Han picked up the wine jug and filled Du Jian's glass. "You and Gui Yue are already husband and wife. You should face reality. Your wedding to Gui Yue was personally chosen by His Majesty, witnessed by the entire Li Kingdom, and congratulated by all the royal family, nobles, and relatives. You must be careful with your words and actions now."
"I understand!" Du Jian responded, playing with the full wine glass in his hand.
"Just knowing is not enough. You have to be kind to Guiyue from the bottom of your heart. She really loves you. Guiyue is just an ordinary woman after all. Although she doesn't say it on the surface, she also longs for her husband's love and a happy family. Really, I am advising you as a friend. Take a look at Guiyue and don't let down such a good woman!" Li Han had been observing Du Jian's expression.
"I know, I will treat Guiyue well, don't worry!" Du Jian stopped what he was doing, drank the wine in the glass again, and said nothing more.
A familiar figure appeared outside the private room of the restaurant where Du Jian and Li Han were having dinner. It was Hua Yunyun. Because her plan some time ago was discovered, she was living in fear in her room every day. So this time she originally wanted to find Lu Li to test his attitude, but before she entered the mansion, she ran into Li Han who happened to be going out.
Hua Yunyun's intuition told her that Li Han's going out was definitely not a good thing, so she secretly followed him. As she expected, she found that Li Han was secretly meeting another man without Lu Li's knowledge.
Hua Yunyun watched Li Han pour wine for Du Jian. The two of them were chatting happily. She said disdainfully, "Li Han, you are such a fickle woman. I wonder how you are going to explain this to Brother Li!"
Hua Yunyun knew that Lu Li's worst pain was being betrayed. Although she herself had done many evil things, she had never persecuted Lu Li. This was why Lu Li was always soft-hearted towards her. But Li Han was different. She went out to meet a strange man without Lu Li's knowledge. Lu Li would definitely be very angry if he knew about it. Thinking of this, Hua Yunyun hurriedly left and prepared to go to Lu Li to complain.
"Yun'er, why are you here?" Lu Li frowned involuntarily when he saw Hua Yunyun coming. Now Lu Li got a headache just by seeing Hua Yunyun.
"Brother Li, I have something to say. It's about Sister Li!" Hua Yunyun exaggeratedly told Lu Li everything she had seen of Li Han and Du Jian at the restaurant. "Sister Li is really not doing this right. She's already engaged to Brother Li, yet she's still out looking for other men. I think you're being too indulgent with her, Brother Li!"
"Enough!" Lu Li slammed the table.
Hua Yunyun thought Lu Li was angry because of Li Han and Du Jian. She was still proud in her heart, but on the surface she still pretended to care about Lu Li: "Brother Li, don't be angry. A woman like Li Han is really not worthy of you..."
Hua Yunyun was interrupted by Lu Li before she could finish her words: "I've said enough, didn't you hear me?" Lu Li looked at Hua Yunyun with sharp eyes: "It's not your turn to judge Li Han for what she does. What she does and who she meets is her freedom. As for you, I think it's because of my indulgence that you are so unscrupulous!"
Hua Yunyun was frightened by Lu Li's cold tone and trembled uncontrollably: "Brother Li, don't you believe Yun'er about this?"
Lu Li snorted coldly: "That's right, Li Han at least won't gossip about others behind their backs like you do."
Seeing Lu Li so determined and so distrustful of her, Hua Yunyun also saw through it. She gritted her teeth and said to Lu Li angrily: "You will regret it sooner or later!" Then she turned and left.
Li Han, who was busy dealing with Du Jian, naturally didn't know what happened here with Lu Li. Seeing that it was getting late and they had almost finished their meal, Li Han said a few perfunctory words to Du Jian. Du Jian didn't try to keep him, so Li Han returned to the general's mansion.
Li Han arrived at the general's mansion a while ago. As soon as she walked through the door, a figure blocked her view. Before she could react, the figure forcibly kissed her.
Li Han's eyes widened, and he pushed away the person on top of him, shouting, "Lu Li, what do you want to do in broad daylight?"
"What do I want to do? I would like to ask you what you want to do. Are you happy to meet Du Jian today?" Lu Li asked coldly with an evil smile.
"I didn't do anything. I just had a simple meal!" Li Han smiled bitterly.
At this moment, Li Han had deeply felt the chill emanating from Lu Li. Thinking that Lu Li was too terrible when he was jealous, he made up his mind and vowed that he would never dare to meet Du Jian alone again.
Li Han doesn't dare to provoke Lu Li now, because she finds that Lu Li has been observing the power she has been secretly developing these days. Li Han is afraid of involving Du Jian and letting the matter leak out, so she plans to act low-key, otherwise if she is targeted by Lu Li, her life will be really difficult.
