Chapter 72 "Because I Like You
"Who's angry?" Fang Li immediately turned her head to the other side, stiffening her neck and saying, "I'm not."
Han Xi lowered his eyes to look at her slightly pouting red lips, and suddenly chuckled.
"You are indeed angry, a woman who says one thing and means another."
Fang Li frowned slightly and turned to look at him: "Mr. Han, are you too confident? When did I..."
"Want to know why I always lose control in front of you?"
Fang Li pursed her lips: "......"
"I like you."
Han Xi looked at her seriously and said, "Because I like you, I can't help but want to get closer. Because I like you, I can't help myself. Xu Fangli, you may not even believe the influence you have on me. My self-control in front of you is almost zero."
What is a heartbeat like thunder? This should be what Fang Li is feeling at this moment.
Her chest was heaving, and Fang Li felt helpless for the first time. She looked up at the man in front of her. There was a subtle curve at the corner of his lips, and there was a certainty in his eyes that she had never seen before, sincere and with a rare hint of evil charm.
"Now can you tell me why you were so angry just now?"
"...Why? I said I didn't."
"Are you sure?" Han Xi looked down at her, a smile on his face. "You're annoyed that I flatly deny my actions. You think I'm irresponsible and frivolous, right?"
Fang Li was embarrassed: "That's just your own guess, I didn't say that."
"Okay, just consider it my petty thoughts. I apologize for what I said carelessly just now. If the same thing happens again in the future, I will let it go and not say anything nonsense. How about that?"
".......after?"
Fang Li's anger, which had just dissipated, turned into shame and embarrassment, which surged up again, making her fair face slightly red. She couldn't stand the man who was knowingly doing it and was taking advantage of her like a scoundrel, so she pulled her hand away with force and didn't forget to push him away.
"What sweet dreams are you having! Just stand here alone, I'm going home!"
Han Xi was pushed by her and staggered back a little. Seeing her angry back as she walked in quickly, he raised his eyebrows, lowered his eyes and smiled softly.
Fang Li entered the main house and saw several servants waiting respectfully at the entrance.
"Hello, ma'am."
Fang Li was stunned.
Then Han Xi's silent voice came from behind: "Clean up the room next to the master bedroom."
"Yes, sir." The servant took the order and hurried upstairs.
"You stay in the master bedroom tonight, and I'll go to the guest room next door. Tomorrow I'll have someone show you around, and you can choose whichever room you like."
"I live in the master bedroom...you, Han Xi, actually you don't need to..."
Han Xi put his hands in his pockets and looked at her. "What's the use? Fang Li, you and I are husband and wife. Although you haven't accepted this status yet, it is already a legal fact. I won't force you to get along with me like an ordinary couple right away, but can you please stop treating me like an outsider?"
"That's not what I meant..." Fang Li bit her lip, frowning slightly: "I mean the master bedroom is your territory, if you don't want to move it is ok..."
"......" Han Xi's eyes flickered faintly, and the smile on his lips deepened: "Is this an invitation?"
Fang Li's face flashed with embarrassment: "What kind of invitation? It's just to sleep in the same room. I didn't promise to do anything for you!"
Han Xi's eyes flashed with joy: "Forget it, I have no self-control in front of you. If I can only look but not touch..."
He paused and pretended to be distressed: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to help but take advantage of the situation. Then you will probably call me a hypocrite and a bandit in your heart again."
"You..." Fang Li bit her lip, she couldn't stay here anymore!
Anyway, it wouldn't be her who would be embarrassed if the servants found out that the couple slept in separate rooms. When the news was reported back to the old house, he would be the one to explain. Why should she worry about it!
Han Xi approached her, raised his hand to twist her body, lowered his head, and stared at the expression on her face with his dark eyes. His voice was hoarse: "It was just a joke. Are you angry?"
"I understand what you mean. Do you know why I didn't take you to Han's house but came back here?"
“.......”
"I just don't want you to feel wronged. Don't worry, I will come back to the master bedroom sooner or later, and the place next to you will be mine sooner or later. Believe me, it won't be long."
Fang Li's ears felt hot, and she raised her eyes to look at him. Meeting his deep, dark eyes, she moved her lips but couldn't say a word. A hint of embarrassment flashed across her clear, watery eyes.
Han Xi curled his lips: "Don't look at me like that, otherwise I might break my promise to you again."
.......Finally, Fang Li pushed Han Xi away in embarrassment and ran upstairs alone.
That night, she saw another side of Han Xi that no one else knew. What gentleman? This man was clearly a cunning and deceitful businessman! A bandit!
At the beginning, he acted so calm and nonchalant, saying things like "I won't force you, I'll give you time." But in fact, he probably had a plan in mind a long time ago. Just like Wen Yang said, he was targeting her from the beginning!
What’s infuriating is that even though she clearly knows his purpose, she still can’t help but let him get closer again and again!
I like you.......
Fang Li took a quick shower and lay in the unfamiliar room, her nose and mind filled with the image of that powerful man...
After a while, she closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she was annoyed, she was not too angry. Although she was unwilling to admit it, his appearance still brought many changes to her life.
From saving her at the beach, to him persuading her to let go and go home, to his later helping her during the Xu family crisis.
And tonight, if he hadn't happened to go back with her, she would have been unable to escape the schemes of Wu Sirou and her gang.
Lying on the soft big bed, Fang Li felt relaxed and at ease both physically and mentally.
Ever since she left home for Song Yuchen, she has been accustomed to handling problems alone over the years, and she hasn't felt protected for a long time.
It turns out that having someone you can trust and rely on can make people feel so at ease.
Han Xi.......
He said he liked her?
Fang Li took a deep breath, suddenly pulled the pillow next to her and hugged it in her arms, burying her whole face in it to hide the corners of her mouth that couldn't help but rise due to her slightly irregular heartbeat.
There were car accidents and accidents all day long, and soon the person on the bed's breathing became heavier and more regular.
The study on the other side.
Han Xi had also taken a shower and was sitting in a heavy chair in a navy blue robe. The fluorescent light of the mobile phone screen in front of him was flickering, making his eyes look deep and cold.
"Don't let any of them go. Let them suffer a little before throwing them to the police station. The Wu family has been too arrogant these past two years and has forgotten their own weight. Since they don't know how to teach their daughter, I don't mind helping them teach her a lesson. Remember, no settlement, no withdrawal of the lawsuit, and I will suppress this to the end!"
In the darkness, his voice was exceptionally low, gloomy and filled with an oppressive hostility.
Lin Mo on the other end of the phone felt a chill down his spine, and he quickly replied seriously, "Yes, Boss."
