Chapter 204: Money or sex?
The two figures in the distance stopped and turned around at the same time.
Fang Li pursed her lips slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her red lips the moment the man turned around.
"You're here." Seeing her, Han Xi's eyes also showed a soft light.
Fang Li nodded and walked towards him.
Han Xi also did the same, stretching his long legs to meet her.
When the two of them met, he raised his hand and naturally put it around Fang Li's slender waist, leading her inside. "I've already ordered the dishes, your favorite. Let's eat first, and then we'll go home together."
"good."
As she watched the three figures walk straight past her, Sheng Qianrui's delicate face gradually became stiff and cold.
Another private room.
The three of them went in, and then the waiter came in with the dishes.
Only Fang Li and Yu Tian were sitting at the huge round table. Han Xi pulled a chair and sat next to Fang Li, picking out the dishes Fang Li liked and putting them on the plate in front of her.
"It feels like I haven't eaten Tan Palace's food in ages."
Fang Li couldn't wait to pick up a small crab roe bun and took a bite, squinting her eyes in satisfaction.
Han Xi chuckled: "Slow down, you can come anytime you want, be careful not to choke."
Fang Li was concentrating on eating, and Han Xi poured tea and placed it next to her.
At this moment, the door was knocked twice gently and then pushed open from the outside.
Yu Tian just looked up and then continued eating.
Fang Li, holding a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, and Han Xi turned around at the same time, and saw Sheng Qianrui walking in with a glass of red wine.
"Miss Xu, do you mind if I come in and sit down?"
Fang Li was stunned with the spareribs in her mouth.
How should she answer?
Do you mind or not?
She couldn't help but turn her head to look at the man next to her, only to find that he had turned his head at some point and was silently helping her peel shrimps with gloves on.
Fang Li spat out the ribs from her mouth and curled her lips slightly, "Mr. Sheng, please do as you please."
Sheng Qianrui turned around and closed the door, then walked towards the table with her red lips raised, walked straight to the seat next to Han Xi, pulled out a chair and sat down.
Fang Li's hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly, and soon it was almost imperceptible, then she lowered her eyes and continued eating.
The private room was so quiet that only the sound of dishes colliding could be heard.
Then there was the sound of Han Xi peeling shrimp and removing gloves, and then his voice: "It's too late, eat less greasy food. Here, have some shrimp."
There were four people at the table. Apart from the one who was concentrating on eating, two of them instantly looked at the peeled shrimps.
Fang Li smiled: "Okay, Mr. Han peeled the shrimp for me personally, I must finish this plate!"
"Are you sure?"
Looking at the plate of shrimp piled up like a small mountain, Fang Li smiled and said, "I'll try my best."
"stupid."
Seeing the man raising his hand to rub the woman's hair with a doting look in his eyes, Sheng Qianrui almost crushed the wine glass in her hand.
She seemed to have never seen Han Xi like this before.
Many of her childhood memories have become vague. Although she has the impression that Han Xi was not as aloof as he is now, he has never been so close to anyone.
Even with his grandfather and aunt, he always adhered to filial piety and maintained a polite closeness.
But now...
Sheng Qianrui tightly gripped the thin handle of the cup, using a lot of strength to barely suppress the resentment and jealousy surging in her heart, and a decent smile gradually appeared at the corners of her mouth.
"I've never seen Xiu Jin be so considerate to a girl. Miss Xu is so lucky."
She suddenly spoke, and Fang Li leaned forward slightly, looking at her over Han Xi.
Sheng Qianrui met her gaze with a hint of provocation in her eyes: "Miss Xu, our last meeting wasn't very pleasant. It's my fault, actually. Many women have always tried to get close to Xiu Jin. Most of them are young and beautiful like Miss Xu, but unfortunately their motives are not pure."
"Impurious purpose? What purpose?" Fang Li glanced at Han Xi beside her seemingly unintentionally, her long eyelashes blinking: "Swindle money or sex?"
"Miss Xu is really interesting. It seems that you understand the minds of those girls very well."
Fang Li: "Is this something so difficult to understand? A woman's intentions towards a man are nothing more than these two. Oh, no, there's one more."
"What?" Sheng Qianrui actually responded.
Fang Li raised her eyebrows: "Heart."
“…”
She raised her red lips slightly: "Boss Sheng is so beautiful, I'm sure there must be many outstanding men pursuing you. Do you think I'm right?"
The smile on Sheng Qianrui's face froze slightly, and then returned to normal. "That should be right. My love experience is no match for Miss Xu. I heard that Miss Xu was once a celebrity in the circle and had close relationships with several popular young actors."
As she spoke, the smile on her lips grew wider. "You don't know, over the years, there have been countless people who have tried to get involved with Xiu Jin, including some celebrities in the circle. So, I thought Miss Xu was the same as those women..."
"What is the same?" Fang Li laughed. "In order to defraud money and sex, you deliberately seduced Han Xi?"
Sensing the temperature on Han Xi's face dropping, Sheng Qianrui paused and then said, "Ms. Xu is certainly not like that. Xiu Jin is such a man. If he doesn't want to, I'm afraid no one in this world can deceive him."
"Yeah?"
Fang Li turned her eyes to the man beside her, "Do you think I can deceive you?"
The man raised his drooping eyes slightly, his deep eyes met her gaze, and he pulled his lips slightly: "Okay, I'll lie to you forever."
Fang Li's eyes froze for a moment, and she suddenly laughed.
"I'm joking, why are you taking it so seriously?" She smiled softly, leaning her shoulder against his chest, and whispered softly, "Just say this kind of thing at home. After all, the person next to you is your childhood sweetheart, so please be considerate of her feelings."
"who?"
"......." Fang Li was speechless, and she couldn't stop smiling.
Sheng Qianrui's fingers, which were gripping the cup handle, turned bluish-white from exerting so much force.
Did they think she couldn't hear?
She gritted her teeth secretly, lowered her eyes anxiously to hide the gloom in them, raised her hand and took a sip of red wine, hurriedly and embarrassedly maintaining the calm and dignity on her face.
The cold wine went down his throat and into his stomach, and the depression in his chest was barely suppressed a little.
"I feel relieved to see that Miss Xu and Xiu Jin have such a good relationship."
Fang Li was still smiling when Sheng Qianrui next to her suddenly said this.
In an instant, the smiles on Fang Li and Han Xi's faces disappeared, and they turned to look at her.
