Chapter 45: Marriage is just an excuse, he likes you
Han Xi looked at her, and after a moment he picked up his phone, opened it, and flipped through their chat history, then enlarged it and held it in front of her.
Fang Li looked over and her eyes widened little by little.
It turned out to be the photo Wen Yang took with her mobile phone at the male model club that night!
Fang Li's head buzzed and her neck turned red.
How did he have this photo? No! Did she send it to him? But her phone clearly only had that video record and no photo record!
Fang Li was completely puzzled. Before she could figure out what was going on, she had already reached out her hand.
Han Xi didn't expect her to suddenly come and grab the phone, and it was almost snatched away by her, but he reacted quickly and raised his arm to avoid it. Fang Li missed it and half-lay on the central control.
She gritted her teeth in regret.
A man's slow voice came from above: "Is this what you call the spirit of the contract?"
Fang Li's face flushed. "I went there with Wen Yang, I didn't do anything."
"So you think it's okay if I go out for social events and have so many women accompany me?"
"..." Fang Li choked, but soon said in a stiff tone: "That's your freedom, I'm not restraining you."
Han Xi: “…”
The anger that had just been extinguished began to surge again. He took a deep breath and it took him a long time to suppress the depression in his heart.
The atmosphere in the car was depressing.
After an unknown amount of time, Han Xi suddenly said, "Fang Li, let's give it a try."
He turned around, his eyes serious. "I know you've always thought that the relationship between you and me is just a marriage alliance. One day in the future, when the cooperation between the Han and Xu families ends, our relationship will also end. But I want to say that from the day I chose to marry you, I have never considered the possibility of divorce."
"......." Fang Li's heart trembled.
Han Xi: "If the sudden change of identity is hard for you to accept, then I'm willing to take a step back and give you some time. We can start as an ordinary man and woman, try to get along, try to walk into each other's lives. Don't worry about how far we can go or whether there will be any results. How about just starting?"
...hotel room.
"Oh." Fang Li lay on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the bright and dazzling words "H Building" in the distance, feeling listless.
Wen Yang came out with a face mask on, followed her gaze, and said sarcastically, "It seems that President Han is truly charming. It hasn't taken long for him to capture the soul of our beautiful lady Xu."
"roll."
Wen Yang didn't leave, but sat down next to her.
She put her arm around her, leaned in close and said, "Do you know how many times you've sighed since you came back and laid here?"
Fang Li raised her eyelids and said, "You are so boring."
"Boring!" Wen Yang let go of her, stroking her face mask and said with resentment, "Not only did my best sister get married early without telling me, she also left me and eloped with another man. How can I not be bored as a lonely person?"
"That's enough."
Wen Yang curled her lips and said, "Okay, I won't say anything more. You can just stay here alone and be the wife-waiting rock."
After she finished speaking, she pretended to stand up and leave.
Fang Li was quick-witted and quickly reached out to pull her back.
Wen Yang fell onto the sofa. Fang Li immediately rushed over and stopped her from leaving. She pursed her lips and said, "I was wrong. Don't leave yet."
"What's wrong?" Wen Yang asked.
Fang Li acted coquettishly, "So warm, so warm..."
"Oh, okay, okay, I'll save this for your CEO Han. I can't stand it."
Fang Li was speechless, "You're still mocking me!"
"I'm mocking you?" Wen Yang turned around and sat up straight, looking at her face to face. "Who even hid the marriage certificate from me? When you were in college, you couldn't even afford to eat. You worked several part-time jobs every day just to buy Song Yuchen a pair of shoes. You were as poor as me, barely able to eat steamed buns and pickles. Now you tell me that you are actually from the Xu family in Haicheng?"
The Xu family, that’s the Xu family!
As a native of Haicheng, the old man of the Xu family was one of the first entrepreneurs in Haicheng to go into business and make his fortune through import and export trade. One can imagine his strength and background.
When I was in college, people at school were saying that Fang Li was just an ignorant wild girl who lived in the mountains with her grandfather, but no one ever thought about how big the difference was between the mountains they were talking about and the mountains others lived in.
You should know that the old man of the Xu family was already on the international rich list twenty years ago.
Thinking of this, Wen Yang was so angry that the mask on her face became crooked.
Fang Li hurriedly and attentively helped her to support herself.
"Pa!" Wen Yang slapped her hand away, "Don't touch me, you are the precious little princess of the Xu family."
"Yangyang, it's okay if I'm wrong."
Fang Li looked at her aggrievedly: "I didn't mean to hide it from you. My family didn't agree with Song Yuchen and I at the time. I had a falling out with them and left secretly. I was just very poor."
"What about the marriage? You're hiding something as big as this from me?"
"Getting married... that was way too hasty. I hadn't even prepared. I had just returned to Haicheng when the Xu family's business ran into trouble. I was only thinking about helping my brother at the time, and I didn't think too much about it."
Wen Yang glared at her angrily.
Fang Li reached out and hooked her fingers, "Don't be angry, okay?"
Wen Yang: "..."
In fact, he was no longer angry in his heart, or rather, he was not angry with her from the beginning, he was just shocked.
But looking at Fang Li's pitiful little appearance, she felt pleased and couldn't help wanting to tease her more.
Seeing that Wen Yang had relaxed a little, Fang Li tentatively moved closer and nestled into her arms little by little.
Wen Yang didn't push her away after all. Fang Li rolled her eyes at her, making sure that she really forgave her, and secretly hugged her with a look of joy on her face.
"Don't hide it from me anymore."
Fang Li held up three fingers and swore, "Don't worry, from now on you are my boss. From now on, as long as it concerns me, I will tell you everything, no matter how big or small!"
"Tsk, such false attentiveness." Wen Yang laughed.
Fang Li also laughed, but as she laughed, she began to worry again.
Wen Yang noticed this and asked, "Are you still worried about your boss, Mr. Han?"
Fang Li stood up and asked in confusion, "What exactly do you mean by those words? What does it mean that there was no intention to divorce from the beginning? It was just a business marriage. Why is it worth him taking it so seriously?"
Wen Yang looked at her and sighed silently.
"What a blockhead." She reached out and poked her on the forehead.
Fang Li was puzzled.
Wen Yang said, "Although I don't know the relationship between your two families, I heard you say that he lived in Haicheng for a period of time when he was a child, and you went to school together."
Fang Li was even more puzzled: "Those were things that happened when I was a kid. I can't remember them at all. How could he possibly still remember them?"
"Do you know that human memory has a storage function? Although some things will be forgotten as we age, the influence of the subconscious mind will only become more and more deeply engraved with the passage of time?"
Wen Yang said, "Han Xi showed up just as you and Song Yuchen were having a conflict. What's even more bizarre is that right after you returned to Haicheng, the Xu family was in crisis, and it was him who helped your Xu family through it. If it were just one or two things, it might be a coincidence, but with so many things happening at the same time, do you still think it's a coincidence?"
Fang Li looked silly: "You mean..."
"He was after you from the beginning. The marriage was just an excuse. He definitely likes you!"
