Chapter 313: Mr. Han's Duplicity
It is the food box of Tan Palace.
Han Xi opened the lid and silently took out the lunch boxes one by one and placed them on the coffee table in front of him.
He then removed the insulation covers on the lunch boxes one by one, and then picked up the bowl and chopsticks and placed them in front of Fang Li.
"Eat first."
Fang Li secretly glanced at the man beside her, wanting to say something, but seeing his drooping brows, she was silent for a moment, still a little scared, and didn't dare to speak.
She silently picked up the chopsticks, picked up the nearest piece of pork ribs, and nibbled on it in small bites.
Seeing her start eating, Han Xi also took out a pair of chopsticks, but instead of eating himself, he reached out and picked up a crab roe bun that was a little further away and put it into Fang Li's bowl.
Looking at the little buns that suddenly appeared in the bowl, Fang Li paused while chewing the spareribs, and her eyes felt inexplicably sour.
She pursed her lips, resisting the moisture in her eyes, silently picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in the man's bowl, and said in a hoarse voice: "You eat too."
"......." Han Xi paused holding the chopsticks and his eyes narrowed slightly.
For the next while, the only sounds in the office were the clatter of dishes and the sound of light chewing.
The quiet atmosphere lasted for more than twenty minutes. Fang Li had almost finished eating. Seeing that the man next to her had put down his chopsticks early, she also silently put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands.
There were a few more seconds of absolute silence.
Then, Han Xi spoke.
"I'm not mad at you."
Fang Li: “….”
It turns out that saying one thing and thinking another is not just a woman's thing, men like it too.
Even after all this, he still says he is not angry.
Fang Li curled the corners of her mouth slightly but didn't dare to speak.
Han Xi: "I'm just a little angry with myself."
"......." Fang Li was even more confused.
"Actually, I know everything Song Yuchen said."
Fang Li was shocked.
Turning to look at him, "You...know?"
Han Xi raised his eyes and looked at Fang Li, "Yes, I know everything."
“.......” How did you know? !
"Want to ask why I know this?"
Fang Li was silent.
Han Xi said: "You asked me before when I fell in love with you. Now I can tell you, it was very early."
"Very early...what does that mean?" Fang Li didn't understand.
Han Xi looked at her quietly with deep eyes and said, "From the first moment I met you."
“.......”That’s the beach?
“Not the beach.”
Fang Li was surprised. If it wasn't the beach, then where else could it be?!
Han Xi was silent.
Fang Li watched him thinking quickly. Suddenly, a piece of information flashed through his mind, and a look of surprise gradually appeared in his eyes.
"You mean..."
"......." The color in Han Xi's eyes became darker.
Fang Li was surprised, her face a little strange: "But weren't we only a few years old at that time? You knew what love was at such a young age?"
"you do not know?"
"I..." Fang Li was slightly stunned.
At that time, she was two years younger than Han Xi and could not even remember basic things, so how could she know what was liked and disliked.
Han Xi asked, "When you were a child, did you ever have a toy or a cake that you particularly liked?"
"? But I'm a human!"
"...I don't like toys or cakes, I only like you."
Fang Li was completely confused.
Han Xi: "There were very few things that could pique my interest since I was a child, but the first time I saw you, I had the urge to take you back to my home and hide you away."
“…”
"Unfortunately, I was only staying in Haicheng temporarily at the time. Not long after, I followed my father back to the capital. I wanted to find you, but at that time I didn't have the ability to go out alone, so I could only wait."
Fang Li suddenly remembered what Grandma Han Xi said the last time she came to the villa halfway up the mountain.
It is said that Han Xi had a serious high fever when he left Haicheng.
Thinking of this, a picture suddenly appeared in her mind of a cold little boy sitting alone by the window, looking into the distance and feeling sad.
She couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
But, he was so young at the time, is this really realistic?
Han Xi said, "Later, my parents' relationship problems became increasingly serious, and the whole family was shrouded in the shadow of divorce. If my grandfather hadn't sent Aunt Rong to take care of me, I wouldn't even be able to guarantee my basic food and clothing."
"At that time, I just wanted to grow up quickly, make my own decisions, and then come back to you."
Looking at the man's handsome face, Fang Li felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
She raised her hand and took hold of his large hand on her knee, wrapping her hands tightly around him.
"Then why didn't you come to me first when you grew up?"
Fang Li had a feeling that if he had appeared in front of her earlier, she would not be so blind as to fall in love with Song Yuchen!
Han Xi looked at her and said in a hoarse voice, "When I was fifteen, I came to see you."
Fifteen years old?!
Fang Li was shocked. She should have been in junior high school at that time.
He said he came to see her, so why didn't she have any impression of him?
"That summer, I was admitted to the C9 Junior Class. I wanted to meet you before I started, but when I got to Haicheng, my former neighbors told me that you had moved away."
Fang Li suddenly realized.
By the way, the villa was bought by my parents at that time. Because the ancestral home needed to be renovated, the whole family lived there temporarily.
When she was in junior high school, the ancestral home on the mountain was renovated. Her parents had been abroad for a long time due to work, so her grandfather took her and her brother to the mountain.
"I couldn't find you, so I was delayed in Haicheng for two days. Later, the school urged me to enroll, and my family also found out that I was not in Beijing. I had no choice but to go back."
"I thought that going to college would give me more time to be on my own, and I could continue to look for you, and I would definitely find you. But I didn't expect that the following year my parents would completely break up over Han's Jewelry shares."
Han Xi said with a self-deprecating smile, "My father wanted shares in Han Jewelry, and my mother wanted custody of me. I've told you what happened later. My father took 15% of Han Jewelry's shares, and my mother took me abroad."
Fang Li looked at the darkness in the man's eyes and sighed slightly in her heart.
It is not easy for a fifteen-year-old child to go abroad and then come back.
Han Xi was silent for a moment, then suddenly grabbed Fang Li's hand and said, "During college, I met a few friends and gradually built up my own network. I asked someone to find you, and I finally found you, but..."
Fang Li's eyes flashed slightly. At that time, she should have been in her third year of high school and had already met Song Yuchen.
"After I knew you liked Song Yuchen, I thought about snatching you back and telling you everything, but I know how it feels to like someone, and I don't want you to go through the pain of unrequited love like I did."
"I told myself, as long as Song Yuchen treats you well, as long as he doesn't hurt you, I can stay away forever and never bother you."
Han Xi suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Fang Li, the deep meaning in his eyes was obvious.
"On the day of the wrap party, I happened to land in Hangzhou. I followed you from the moment you left No. 1 Mansion. The moment I saw you fainted on the beach, I regretted it."
