Chapter 488 A Passionate Entanglement
"You could say that during my freshman year, I helped a local tycoon make his first fortune by investing in stocks. Later, I met Tang Chen, and after spending some time together, we decided to start a small investment company together."
X Group started as an insignificant small company on the foreign financial street. Later, due to Han Xi's talent, he made several fortunes through speculation, which allowed it to gradually grow and start investing in large projects, thus making its mark on the financial street.
"Because of my studies and family reasons, I couldn't show my face too much, so we discussed having Tang Chen take charge of X Group. You know what happened after that. I used X Group to return to China and take over Han's Group."
"..."
Han Xi is actually the boss of X Group.
Even Fang Li, who has witnessed the ups and downs of the business world, was surprised. One can imagine the turmoil that would occur in the entire financial world if this news were to spread.
And how astonished the Han family and their associates must have been.
"So what are you planning to do next? Use a surprise attack to escape?"
"I might have to go to Mamba before the New Year."
Han Xi's voice suddenly became deep and hoarse, carrying a suppressed and profound tone, "News has come from Mamba that Fourth Uncle has secretly colluded with a local armed force, and there will be new moves after the New Year."
"What is he planning to do? Does he want to break away from the Han family?"
".....Um."
Fang Li once again showed a look of surprise in the darkness.
It's strange that Han Shuo appeared peaceful on the surface when he returned this time, but secretly he kept urging Han Ming to seize control of the Han family.
With Han Ming's abilities, once he takes control of the Han family, wouldn't the Mamba side be completely at Han Shuo's mercy?
Then Han Yi can work together to cause trouble for Han Ming. He's too busy with his domestic business to care about things in Mamba.
“My father didn’t have the brains; he was used by my third and fourth uncles.”
Fang Li couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
This is the first time I've ever heard someone say that their father is brainless.
The two were very close together in the darkness.
As the man spoke, his breath brushed against her earlobe, carrying a warm, ticklish sensation.
Fang Li instinctively tried to back away, but he supported her waist with his other hand.
The hand pressed against her through her shirt, the warmth of the palm seeming to scorch through the fabric, making her fingertips tremble.
"you……"
She was about to speak when his arm suddenly tightened around her, silencing her.
In the darkness, his face seemed to move closer, and she could feel his gaze on her face. Although she couldn't see his expression, she could sense the undercurrents surging in his eyes.
“Ah Li”.
He suddenly called her name, his tone no longer the cold, hard one he had when discussing business, but instead tinged with a husky, magnetic quality, "Today at the shareholders' meeting, you faced those situations that you shouldn't have had to face. Do you regret it?"
His fingertips gently caressed her waist, an unconscious gesture that instantly sent her heart racing.
She recalled the scrutinizing yet hostile gazes she received 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 the Han family fall into the hands of others.
"I am your legal wife."
She lowered her eyes, trying to make her tone sound calmer, "Isn't it my duty to protect you and safeguard your things?"
"You're right, that's how it should be."
Han Xi chuckled softly, the sound carrying a certain meaning in the darkness. "What's mine is yours. For the sake of Yueyue's future, you and I should be a little stingy and domineering."
"Yue... Yue?"
The man in front of her suddenly chuckled, his voice almost coming out of his nose, "Is it nice? The name I gave our daughter, Han Yue."
"..." Fang Limo.
After a long while, she finally found her voice, "You've already named it before anything's even happened, and besides, how do you know it will be a daughter?"
"I just know it."
The moment the words left his mouth, it was as if the air had been suddenly sucked away.
Fang Li could feel his nose almost touching her forehead, their warm breaths mingling to form an ambiguous vortex.
The faint sound of an elevator running could be heard outside the entrance hall, but it was blocked out by the gradually warming atmosphere in this small space.
She opened her mouth, only to find her throat was dry.
The darkness amplified all her senses: the warmth of his palm, the cool yet aggressive aura emanating from him, and his deep, almost seductive voice—all these things formed a fine net that trapped her within it.
"Han Xi".
She spoke with difficulty, her voice trembling slightly without her even realizing it, "This is not the time to talk about this..."
When will that be?
He interrupted her, tightening his grip on her and pulling her completely into his arms.
Through the thin fabric of his clothes, she could clearly feel his heartbeat, which was surprisingly in sync with her own. "Even if a knife is at my throat, I should still drink and sing, lest I realize how short the joy is when my neck is broken."
His tone carried a hint of arrogance that was barely perceptible, as if he didn't care about the current predicament at all, but instead found a kind of exciting fun in it.
In the darkness, Fang Li closed her eyes and could feel his fingertips gently gliding across her cheek, lingering on the edge of her lips, with a tentative coolness.
“Ah Li”.
He called out again in a low voice, so hoarse it was almost dripping with water, "Look at me."
She slowly opened her eyes, but all she could see was an impenetrable darkness, and she could only vaguely make out his blurry outline.
But she knew he was watching her, his gaze penetrating the night, taking in all her panic and wavering.
A bolt of lightning suddenly flashed past the window, its brief light illuminating the entryway and revealing his face so close to mine.
His eyes were as deep as the night, with a burning intensity 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 her heart pounding, as if something was quietly breaking apart in this impenetrable darkness, only to be quickly overwhelmed by even more turbulent emotions.
"Say what you want to say." Fang Li heard herself sigh inwardly.
She raised her hand, took the initiative to wrap her arms around the man's neck, and tiptoed closer to him.
The man's sharp jaw was pressed against her shoulder, and Fang Li heard him say, "I will arrange for someone to send you back to Haicheng in the next couple of days. Anyway, the end of the year is just around the corner, so take this opportunity to spend some quality time with Grandpa and your uncle and aunt. I will pick you up after the New Year when things have calmed down."
Fang Li knew what he meant by those words.
This year's events are bound to be anything but calm.
Her heart pounded with anxiety, a stark contrast to his nonchalant tone, but not wanting to worry him, she nodded softly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
A sense of parting was spreading between the two.
Although neither of them said anything, they both seemed to know that this separation was different from the usual ones.
That night, they were locked in a passionate embrace.
As if to finish all the days that were going to be unattainable ahead of time, Han Xi was completely different from usual, transforming into an insatiable beast.
Fang Li screamed, thrashed about, and finally cried out before he reluctantly stopped his attack.
A crazy night.
When dawn breaks, we will part ways.
