Chapter 492 Like a Dream
After hanging up the phone, Fang Li took a final look at her appearance.
The person in the mirror became radiant again, and she curled her lips in satisfaction.
Unexpectedly, when she pushed the door open, Wen Yang was actually standing in the corridor waiting for her, holding her cashmere coat in his hand.
"What took you so long? Are you okay?"
Fang Li smiled: "Nothing, I called Han Xi and talked for a long time."
Wen Yang heard her voice outside just now, but he didn't suspect anything else.
She helped her put on her coat, her hand accidentally touching hers, and frowned: "Your hands are so cold, aren't you about to have your period? Why are you still using cold water?"
"I just washed my hands."
Xu Fangli took her friend's arm and said, "Besides, it's like this every month. It's okay. Let's go. I haven't finished choosing the New Year gifts I want. You still have to help me with the planning."
Wen Yang glanced at her and curled his lips helplessly. He really couldn't do anything about her.
That day, the two of them shopped until after eight o'clock in the evening. After buying everything they needed, they said goodbye to each other and went home.
Perhaps she was tired, so after returning to Guanlan Court, Fang Li simply washed up and went to bed.
This sleep was exceptionally deep.
The next day.
The early morning sunlight shines through the gauze curtains, casting mottled shadows on the floor.
Fang Li opened her eyes, her consciousness floating in the air for a while, and suddenly she thought of something and raised her hand to touch her lower abdomen.
The heavy and painful feeling there has disappeared without a trace, and the uncomfortable feelings of yesterday seem like a dream.
My stomach pain has gone away and my body has recovered a lot.
Fang Li let out a long sigh, and her movements became lighter when she stood up.
After washing up, she straightened her clothes in front of the mirror. Although her face in the mirror was still a little pale, she seemed to be in good spirits.
On the way to the Han family's old house, she repeatedly considered her words in her mind. After all, Han Xi's matter could not be concealed, and she had to find a way to reassure the two old people.
It was already noon when they arrived at the Han family's old house. When Han Guodong saw Fang Li, warmth first lit up in his eyes, but then a layer of worry covered them.
"Xiu Jin..."
As Grandpa Han started to speak, Fang Li hurried forward, placed the gift on the Eight Immortals table, and said softly, "Grandpa, don't worry. Han Xi is fine. It's all a misunderstanding. He's just going there to cooperate with the investigation and will be back soon."
Meeting Han Guodong's gaze, she tightened her fingertips slightly, but with a gentle smile on her face, "You should believe in Han Xi's ability. He has his own plans and won't do anything rash."
Han Guodong nodded. "I know, but it will be hard for you once he leaves."
"I don't have to work hard. There are people over at the Han Corporation who are keeping an eye on him. I just showed up to express my opinion."
Fang Li said, "He asked me to tell you that he remembers everything you taught him when he was young. No matter what, the Han family will always be the Han family, and no one will be missing."
Han Guodong's sharp eyes warmed slightly and he nodded, "I know, I trust him to do things."
Seeing that the sadness between the old man's brows had dissipated a little, Fang Li sat down and talked to him for a while.
She stayed until lunch before she got up to say goodbye, and then went to where Shen Ruyan lived.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law haven't seen each other for a long time. Shen Ruyan is different from Han Guodong. Although she knows that Han Xi has been sent to the police station, she is not worried at all.
She chatted with Fang Lidong for a long time, then took out the gift she had prepared for the Xu family and talked about it for a long time.
Fang Li gave her a set of skin care products that she had bought for her yesterday, and listened to her talk about wedding arrangements for a long time. As the sun was setting, she left her apartment.
When we returned to the villa halfway up the mountain, Aunt Rong and the servants were busy in the living room. The coffee table and sofa were piled with various gift boxes of specialties from Beijing, all pre-prepared, as well as those Han Xi had requested. Now, they were all packed up, like a small migration.
"Madam, are you back? Have you eaten yet? I'll prepare whatever you want."
Aunt Rong put down the things in her hands and took Fang Li's coat and hung it up.
Fang Li smiled: "No need, I've already eaten at my mom's."
"oh."
Since she didn't want to eat, Aunt Rong went back to continue packing.
Fang Li looked surprised: "Are these all prepared for me to take back?"
"Yes, the master ordered the preparations long ago. There are special products from the capital, as well as New Year gifts for relatives at home."
Aunt Rong introduced with a smile: "These are for Mr. Xu, these are for your parents, and these are for your uncle and aunt. As for the pile next to it, it's for your brothers. There are also many daily gifts prepared outside, all for other relatives who come to your house to pay New Year's greetings."
"so much?!"
"Not much, not much. Sir, he has some custom-made items that haven't arrived yet. I'll send them to you when the time comes."
“…”
Fang Li looked at the things that almost filled up the living room of the huge villa, and thought that this was not enough!
She suppressed the surprise in her eyes and smiled: "Then you guys get busy, I'll go up and clean up."
"good."
Aunt Rong nodded and asked, "Do you need my help?"
"No, I don't have much stuff, so it's easy to pack."
Fang Li ran upstairs as if escaping.
In the evening, the noise downstairs gradually died down. It must have been cleaned up. The villa was so quiet that you could hear the ticking of the wall clock in the corridor outside.
Fang Li poured a glass of warm water and sat on the sofa until the sky outside the window became completely dark. Then she thought of something, picked up her phone and sent a message to Han Xi.
After a few minutes, Han Xi replied: [I have something to do and it might take quite late. You should go to bed first.]
......
It was late at night and Fang Li was lying in bed. Although her body was very tired, her mind was extremely clear.
In the middle of the night, she fell into a drowsy sleep until her head was so sleepy that she felt a little dizzy.
Fang Li slept particularly restlessly this time.
All sorts of bizarre dream fragments kept flashing by. Sometimes it was Han Xi's back turning around at the airport, sometimes it was ginkgo leaves falling in the courtyard of the old house. It was as if I saw something moving away, or someone waving...
When she woke up, she felt her heart beating so fast as if it was about to burst out of her chest, and her head was heavy and stuffy, but when she really thought about her previous dream, she couldn't remember anything.
Fang Li looked at the time. It was past one in the morning.
She turned around to look at the light shining through the curtains, and lay there in a daze, hugging the quilt.
She didn't know how long it had been, but just as she was falling into a light sleep again, there was a soft "click" and the door was pushed open.
A slightly cool air rushed in instantly, Fang Li frowned and slowly opened her eyes.
In the moonlight outside the window, she saw Han Xi standing at the door, his black coat still stained with frost, his jawline taut.
"You're back?"
She propped up her upper body, her voice hoarse from just waking up, her eyes full of surprise.
Han Xi closed the door behind him, and a cool winter breeze filled the air.
He took off his coat as he walked, and when he reached the bed, he was only wearing his shirt. He was warm and no longer cold.
"Did it wake you?"
