Chapter 488: Lingering to Death
"You could say that when I was a freshman, I helped a local wealthy businessman invest in stocks and earned the first pot of gold for X Group. Later, I met Tang Chen, and after spending some time together, we decided to open a small investment company together."
In the beginning, X Group was actually just a small and inconspicuous company in a foreign financial street. Later, due to Han Xi's talent, he made a lot of money through speculation. Then he gradually grew bigger and started to invest in large projects, making his mark in the financial street.
"Due to schoolwork and family reasons, I couldn't show up much, so we decided to have Tang Chen take charge of X Group. You know what happened next. I used X Group as a tool to return to China and take over Han Corporation."
“…”
Han Xi is actually the boss of X Group.
Even Fang Li, who had seen the ups and downs of the business world, was surprised. It was conceivable what kind of turmoil would occur in the entire financial world if this news were to get out.
And how surprised would those people from the Han family be?
"So what are you going to do next? Escape and take them by surprise?"
"I might have to go to Mamba before the New Year."
Han Xi's voice suddenly fell silent, carrying a suppressed depth. "News has come from Mamba that Fourth Uncle has secretly colluded with a local armed group, and there will be new moves after the New Year."
"What is he planning to do? Is he planning to break away from the Han family?"
".....Um."
Fang Li once again showed a look of surprise in the darkness.
No wonder Han Shuo appeared peaceful on the surface when he came back this time, but was secretly instigating Han Ming to seize control of the Han family.
With Han Ming's ability, once he takes control of Han Group, Han Shuo will be in charge of Mamba.
By then, Han Yi will cooperate with Han Ming to cause some trouble. He can't even take care of his domestic business, so naturally he has no time to care about what's happening far away in Mamba.
"Father didn't have that kind of brains. He was being used by his third and fourth uncles."
Fang Li couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
This is the first time I've heard someone say that his father is not smart enough.
The two of them were very close in the darkness.
When the man spoke, his breath inadvertently brushed against her earlobe, bringing a warm and itchy feeling.
Fang Li subconsciously wanted to step back, but his other hand held her waist.
The hand came close to her through her shirt, and the warmth of its palm seemed to burn through the fabric, causing her fingertips to tremble.
"you……"
She was about to speak, but was cut off by his suddenly tightening arms.
In the darkness, his face seemed to be closer, and she could feel his gaze on her face. Although she could not see his specific expression, she could catch the dark tide surging in his eyes.
"Ali."
He suddenly called her name, his tone no longer the cold and hard one he had just used when discussing business matters, but now tinged with a hoarse, magnetic tone. "Today at the shareholders' meeting, you faced situations for me that you shouldn't have had to face. Do you regret it?"
His fingertips gently stroked her waist, which seemed like an unconscious action, but it made her heart beat out of control in an instant.
She recalled the inquiring and hostile looks from the audience when she stood up to refute Han Ming at the shareholders' meeting, and the inexplicable certainty in her heart at that time. As long as Han Xi was still there, she would not let Han's fall into the hands of others.
"I am your lawful wife."
She lowered her eyes, trying to sound calmer, "Isn't it my duty to protect you and keep your things safe for you?"
"You're right, it should be."
Han Xi chuckled softly, and that chuckle seemed somewhat meaningful in the darkness. "What's mine is yours. For the sake of our Yueyue's future, you and I should be stingy and domineering."
"Yue...Yue?"
The man in front of him suddenly chuckled, the sound almost coming out of his nose, "Doesn't it sound nice? I named our daughter Han Yue."
"......" Fang Limo.
After a long while, she finally found her voice. "You've already named the baby before we even start writing our names. Besides, how did you know it would be a girl?"
"I just know it."
The moment the words fell, the air seemed to be suddenly sucked away.
Fang Li could feel the tip of his nose almost touching her forehead, and their warm breaths intertwined to form an ambiguous vortex.
The sound of the elevator running could be faintly heard outside the entrance, but it was blocked out by the gradually warming atmosphere in this small space.
She opened her mouth, but found her throat dry.
The darkness amplified all her senses. The warmth of his palm, the fresh yet aggressive aura from him, and his now hoarse, almost seductive tone, were like a fine net, trapping her tightly within it.
"Han Xi."
She spoke with difficulty, her voice trembling slightly without her even noticing, "Now is not the time to talk about this..."
"When is that?"
He interrupted her, tightening his arms even more and encircling her completely in his embrace.
Through the thin fabric, she could clearly feel his heartbeat, which was surprisingly consistent with her own. "Even if a knife is at my throat, I will still sing and drink. Don't wait until my neck is broken to realize how short the joy is."
There was a subtle hint of arrogance in his tone, as if he didn't take the current predicament seriously at all, but instead found a kind of exciting interest in it.
In the darkness, Fang Li closed her eyes and could feel his fingertips gently sliding across her cheek, lingering on the edge of her lips, with a tentative coolness.
"Ali."
He whispered again, the hoarseness in his voice almost dripping out of water, "Look at me."
She slowly opened her eyes, and the darkness before her was still so thick that it could not be dispelled. She could only vaguely see his blurry outline.
But she knew that he must be looking at her, with a gaze that could penetrate the night and take in all her panic and hesitation.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed outside the window. The brief light instantly illuminated the entrance and reflected his face close at hand.
His eyes were as deep as the night, and there was a burning heat in them that she had never seen before, and his lips were less than a centimeter away from hers.
A second before the lightning went out, Fang Li heard the sound of her heart pounding, as if something had quietly collapsed in this impenetrable darkness, and was quickly drowned by even more turbulent emotions.
"Just say what you want to say." Fang Li heard herself sigh in her heart.
She raised her hands, put them around the man's neck, and tiptoed to him.
The man's sharp jaw was pressed against her shoulder. Fang Li heard him say, "I'll arrange for someone to take you back to Haicheng in the next two days. It's almost the end of the year anyway. Take this opportunity to spend some time with Grandpa and your uncle and aunt. I'll pick you up after the New Year when everything calms down."
Fang Li knew what he meant by this.
This year will definitely not be calm.
Her heart was completely different from his calm tone, and she was hanging in the air, but she didn't want to make him worry, so she nodded softly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
There was a sense of separation between the two of them.
Although neither of them said anything, they seemed to know that this separation was different from usual.
That night, they clung to each other until death.
As if he wanted to finish all the things that would be out of reach in the coming days, Han Xi was completely different from usual, completely transformed into an insatiable beast.
Fang Li screamed and fought until she started crying, and only then did he reluctantly stop his attack.
A crazy night.
The next daybreak will be our separation.
