Chapter 29: It’s very likely that I won’t be able to leave if I go back
Han Xi felt as if a corner of his heart was being teased, gently, itchy, and a little warm.
He rubbed his fingertips calmly, and curled the corners of his lips slightly: "Thank you."
Fang Li: "You're welcome."
The two of them ate slowly and silently. For a moment, the room was so quiet that only the sound of cutlery clattering could be heard.
After a long time, Fang Li finished eating, put down the spoon, wiped her mouth and looked at the man opposite.
"You suddenly came to Hangzhou, there won't be any problems at the company, right?"
Han Xi drank his soup and looked up at her: "Everything has been arranged, there will be no problem."
Fang Li pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you for keeping the marriage a secret from Grandpa. Don't worry, I'll go to the capital as soon as things here are settled."
Han Xi stared at her sincere face, suddenly put down the spoon, and a low laugh escaped from his throat.
"After going to the capital, what happened?"
"Of course I'll go home with you to visit the elders. Although our marriage is a business one, we are still a legitimate couple, so we must follow the proper etiquette."
Fang Li spoke seriously, and he looked quietly at her fair little face and lively eyes.
Go home... She said she wanted to go home with him.
For the first time, Han Xi felt that these two ordinary words became so beautiful when spoken by the woman in front of him.
There was a gleam in his dark eyes, and he suddenly reached out to her, frightening Fang Li so much that her expression froze and she dared not move.
He stretched his long arm across the table, and his slender fingertips gently brushed the hair on her cheek to the side, and his slightly cool fingers brushed across her cheek intentionally or unintentionally.
The voice is deep and charming:
"Have you ever thought about what will happen if you go home with me and visit the elders?"
Fang Li looked at him in a daze.
The man's pleasant voice was a little more teasing: "Grandpa has been looking forward to me getting married soon so that he can continue the Han family line. If you go back with me, you may not be able to leave."
"You're willing to do that?"
Fang Li's face flushed quietly.
"You...I just mentioned it casually. If you say that, forget it!"
"Angry?"
Fang Li: “No.”
"They say if a woman says no, then it's true." Han Xi said suddenly.
Fang Li looked at him: "They?"
Han Xi: "How many..."
He suddenly stopped, as if thinking about how to describe the other person. After a few seconds, he continued, "Drinking and eating friends."
"Are you sure you're not a scoundrel?"
Han Xi pretended to be serious and said, "I am a human being and I don't like to be friends with animals."
Fang Li's stern face couldn't help but break into a smile.
I didn't expect that this man would look like this under his serious appearance.
Han Xi looked at her and let her smile, with a warm feeling between his brows.
"Fang Li."
The pure voice, with a helpless hoarseness at the end, was like a whisper in a lover's ear. For the first time, Fang Li felt that her name could be so beautiful.
The smile on her face froze.
"What?"
He looked at her: "Does my sudden visit to you make you uncomfortable?"
Fang Li thought again of the three words he had said in the room before.
The awkwardness in my heart suddenly softened, filling my chest with an indescribable feeling.
"No, it's just that I'm a little... not used to it." The more she spoke, the more unnatural her expression became.
"So, you don't mind me coming to you."
Fang Li paused and shook her head.
"Then if I want to see you in the future, can I come to you anytime?"
Fang Li was surprised and looked up at him.
"you......."
The warmth in Han Xi's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by an emotion Fang Li had never seen before, like a test, and like a plea, deeply suppressed and concealed.
"Do you think that the reason I chose to marry you was just to do the Xu family a favor because of my friendship with Mr. Xu?"
“…”
"Fang Li, if I tell you I'm here for you, will you think I have impure motives and deep thoughts? Will you still be willing to try to be a real Mrs. Han and come to me?"
The uneasiness that was faintly lingering in Fang Li's chest suddenly disappeared after hearing Han Xi's words, and turned into a feeling of confusion.
What he said...
-
"Did he really say that?"
On the phone, Xu Fangye's voice was very hoarse, perhaps because he was hungover or still sleepy.
Fang Li curled up in bed, hugging the quilt with a troubled look on her face: "Brother, tell me the truth, why is Han Xi willing to help our Xu company so much?"
Xu Fangye closed his eyes and answered: "It's all because of you..."
"I?"
Fang Li was shocked: "So he really did it because of me?!"
Xu Fangye on the other end of the phone shuddered and sobered up a lot.
He sat up and quickly changed his tone: "What do you mean by 'because of you'? It's obviously because of your brother! He and I are good brothers, so it's only natural for me to do a small favor for my brother."
"Besides, you are my sister, Xu Fangye. Even though your looks are a bit ordinary, your behavior is a bit rough, and your temperament is a bit ordinary, but your brother is extremely charming and everyone loves him..."
Xu Fangye was chattering and bragging on the phone, completely unaware that the face of his girl on the other end of the phone was gradually turning darker.
"Xu Fangye!"
“…Eh.”
Fang Li gritted her teeth and said, "If you can't talk, then shut up! You're so capable, why don't people invest in the Xu Corporation out of your kindness? In the end, they still have to rely on a sister like me, who looks okay, behaves rudely, and has an ordinary temperament, to arrange a marriage!"
"...Are you angry? I was just saying it casually..."
"Stop talking nonsense. Every time you say something, it's nothing I like to hear. I won't talk to you anymore."
"Why.....!"
Fang Li didn't give him a chance to talk nonsense and hung up the phone directly.
Haicheng, Zijun Huating.
"woke up?"
A woman in light pink home clothes came in from the doorway and handed the cup to Xu Fangye: "I made some honey water, you should drink some and you will feel better."
"You say she won't suspect anything, right?" Xu Fangye was still thinking about what he almost let slip just now, and looked at the phone in his hand anxiously.
The woman sighed helplessly, "You should have thought about it the day you told a lie. Sooner or later, the lie will be exposed."
She bent her legs and sat down beside him, holding the glass of water to his mouth.
Xu Fangye obediently opened his mouth and took a sip.
But soon, he pushed the woman's hand away anxiously, "No, now is not the time to expose yourself. I have to talk to my brother-in-law."
He took out Han Xi's number from his mobile phone and dialed it quickly.
When Xu Fangye called, Han Xi was in a video conference.
He left in a hurry. Although Elara was looking after the company's affairs and there would be no major problems in the short term, some project proposals still required his personal review.
The planning director was reporting the latest project progress via video when the phone on the table suddenly started vibrating.
Han Xi glanced at him and ignored him, concentrating on listening to the report.
On the other end of the phone, Xu Fangye was scratching his head anxiously.
Answer it! Answer the phone!
