Chapter 44 The Dumb Man with a Sawed Mouth
Liu Nian: "Fang Li and President Han..."
Wen Yang was stunned: "I don't know that either."
The two looked at each other, and saw a lot of questions in each other's eyes. They didn't want to stay there any longer, so they grabbed their bags and chased after him.
Only Lu Jie and his group were left at the scene.
Duan Xin, who had been full of accusations before, was now dumbfounded. He just stood there in a daze, no longer as domineering as before, and was as timid as a frightened kitten.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I didn't know... I, I was just too afraid of losing you, so..."
"Just what?"
Lu Jie rubbed his neck and stood up, looking lazily at Duan Xin who was still trying to quibble.
He pulled his lips coldly: "Do you think I'm one of those fools you've tricked me into doing?"
Duan Xin was so frightened that her whole body stiffened, but she still reached out her hand with some hope. She wanted to climb onto his arm to explain, but before her fingertips even touched him, she felt the man's cold gaze on her hand.
She had no doubt that if she dared to touch him, her hands would be broken in the next moment.
Duan Xin's back tensed up, and he dared not move forward any further.
"Don't let me see you again."
"Master Lu!" Duan Xin was shocked and frightened. "Master Lu, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again. I will be very obedient. Please..."
She cried with tears in her eyes, but Lu Jie's eyes were cold to the bone.
He leaned over slightly and smiled at her, his smile without a trace of warmth: "I don't have the habit of not hitting women here, get lost."
"......." Duan Xin trembled and stopped crying.
......In front of Jindingzhai.
When they came out, it was Han Xi who was pulling Fang Li.
Han Xi stretched out his hand as he walked, and Lin Mo behind him quickly handed him the car keys.
He unlocked the car, opened the door, stuffed Fang Li into the passenger seat, and then helped her fasten her belt, all in one smooth action.
By the time Lin Mo reacted, his boss had already sat in the driver's seat. The car started and rushed out from in front of him with a whoosh.
Lin Mo, who was left behind again: "......"
The revolving door behind him turned, and Wen Yang and Liu Nian, who had hurried out, only saw the back of the car and stood there in a daze with him.
"Gone?"
Lin Mo: "Let's go."
Wen Yang breathed heavily: "Just leaving like that?!"
"Yeah, just left like that."
One asked the question smoothly, and the other answered it fluently. They both realized it belatedly and suddenly turned to look at each other, and sighed together after a moment.
"Special Assistant Lin, Fang Li and President Han?" Liu Nian asked.
"Just as you see."
The two were shocked.
Soon, another black car drove over and stopped in front of the group. Lin Mo turned around and said, "Let's go. I'll take you back."
Liu Nian quickly smiled and said, "Don't bother, I'll drive."
Wen Yang: "I'm going with Sister Nian."
"Okay, then I'll go first." Lin Mo nodded, opened the car door and got in.
-
The temperature in Beijing is still high at night. It is over 30 degrees outside and people feel uncomfortable all over. But with the air conditioner on in the car, it is as comfortable as sitting in an office.
Han Xi drove very steadily, supporting the center console with one hand and the other hand loosely resting on the steering wheel.
Fang Li sat in the passenger seat, stealing glances at him from time to time. She found that he was pursing his pretty lips, staring at the road ahead with a serious look, and no one could tell whether he was happy or angry.
She gripped her seat belt, her heart beating inexplicably nervously, her mind full of thoughts on how to explain to him and how to start the conversation so that he wouldn't be angry because she hadn't told him about coming to the capital.
The green light ahead turns red.
Fang Li was lost in thought when the car suddenly braked at a steady speed. She was caught off guard and her body moved forward by inertia but was pulled back by the seat belt.
She looked up in panic, saw the countdown of more than a hundred seconds, and then turned to look at the man beside her.
I just caught the fleeting panic on his face.
"Sorry." Han Xi said.
Fang Li was stunned, and suddenly realized why he apologized. It turned out that people who seemed calm on the surface could also be distracted.
She sat down and pursed her lips: "It's okay."
The car was silent again, so quiet that the temperature dropped a few degrees.
Fang Li thought about it and decided to take the initiative to break the current deadlock.
After all, from her limited understanding of this man, although he would not be angry with her in person, he would keep it in his heart and make himself uncomfortable.
"I didn't mean to hide my coming to the capital from you." She was silent for a moment before she said, "I want to open my own studio in the capital. I plan to tell you after I'm settled in."
Han Xi: “…”
"And that girl named Duan Xin, I really didn't steal her boyfriend. Wen Yang and I were having dinner there, and she came to pick a fight for no apparent reason..."
Fang Li glanced at him, her voice gradually lowering. "Besides, we're already married. Even though it's just a business marriage, I'm a person with a strong sense of contract. During the marriage, I will only be loyal to this marriage. How could I do anything to let you down?"
"I know it was wrong of me to hide it from you, and you have reason to be angry, right..."
"I'm not angry." Han Xi finally spoke.
Just as the red light turned green, he lightly stepped on the accelerator and the car drove smoothly.
Fang Li glanced at him quickly, was stunned for a moment, and turned her head to look out the car window.
I thought it would be strange if he wasn't angry. At the beginning, his brows were so furrowed that they could kill a fly, and now he's being stubborn.
What a taciturn person with a sawed-off mouth.
Even though she thought so, she still secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
She didn't expect that a few words of explanation could make him calm down so quickly. Fang Li had a new understanding of the man beside her.
The car drove all the way and finally stopped downstairs of Neptune International.
Han Xi turned off the engine, Fang Li unbuckled her seat belt, and just as she was about to open the door and get out of the car, her left arm was grabbed.
She turned around and saw that Han Xi had unbuckled his seat belt at some point and was looking at her slightly sideways.
His eyes were serious as he stared at her for a long time, his lips pursed and then slightly relaxed, as if he wanted to say something but didn't say anything for a long time.
Fang Li was not in a hurry. She opened the car door, sat back, and waited quietly.
After a moment, the man beside him seemed to take a deep breath and finally spoke: "Actually... I'm angry."
Fang Li suddenly turned her head.
Han Xi suddenly let go and sat back, turning his head awkwardly to look outside.
He said in a muffled voice, "It's not just because of what happened today, but also because of you in the video that night..."
"Wait a moment!"
Fang Li was secretly surprised at his honesty, but she didn't expect him to suddenly mention the video from that night.
Video...that was the mystery she hadn't solved yet.
"Did I...say anything in the video?" she asked uncertainly.
Han Xi turned around: "You don't remember?"
Fang Li: “….”
So she really said something to upset him!
She smiled awkwardly: "I was drunk that night, sorry, I really don't remember what I said."
Han Xi looked at her and gradually frowned: "Where are the photos?"
And photos!
"Wh...what photo?"
