Chapter 171

Xia Li left the old house when Xia Purn and Xia Xin went back to their room to sleep.

The old house is her root and her confidence, but it is by no means a haven for her to escape.

As soon as the car passed an overpass, Xia Li's mind flashed in her mind that in order to prepare for her engagement, she checked the wedding company on the Internet, and the corners of her mouth could not help but slightly rise.

As for people, they only know that they are stupid after they have experienced something.

It's not enough to realize this, she still has to come up with a decent engagement ceremony.It's just... There's no need to be so unique anymore, because that's just an accessory to a deal.

When passing by the night market, Xia Li touched her somewhat empty stomach, parked the car in a corner, and got out of the car without letting others notice.

The night market in a street looks like a grand scene. People in twos and threes gather around a table, eating skewers and chatting with each other. Xia Li can't help but feel a little envious of this simple life.

She walked silently to a shop where no one went, so that she would not appear so lonely.

In fact, it can't be called a shop, they are all temporary sheds, but people who come out for supper don't care.

"Hello, how many?"

Xia Li's heart skipped a beat, her whole body froze suddenly, and she said awkwardly, "Both of you."

"Okay, what do you want to order?"

Xia Li smiled, walked to the shopkeeper, looked at the things next to him, thought for a while and said, "I'll wait for my friends to come and order together."

The shopkeeper just smiled and said nothing, Xia Li sighed, took out her mobile phone and checked the people in the address book, it seemed that there was only one person.

When Han Qiaochu arrived at the night market, she was a little surprised to see everything around her.

She still looked at Xia Li with a smile and said, "Sister Li, do you want to buy me something to eat?"

Xia Li pointed to the place where the shopkeeper was, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Do you want to eat?"

Han Qiaochu narrowed his eyes slightly, and swallowed involuntarily, "Eat, of course. Wait, I'll pick some delicious food for you. Someone brought me here before. I'm more familiar with this kind of place than you."

Maybe Han Qiaochu came over, so she felt a little comforted in her heart, and she relaxed a lot.

When she inadvertently took another look at the place where Han Qiaochu came, she was startled by a figure hidden in the night.

She turned around and looked at Han Qiaochu who was still choosing, frowned slightly, and said bluntly, "Your brother is here too?"

Han Qiaochu was taken aback for a moment, turned around, and said with some embarrassment, "Sister Li, you also know that two girls in this kind of place are more dangerous, so my brother said he would come and watch. He's right there Watching from afar, I won’t come over, don’t worry.”

Xia Li snorted softly, when did Han Qiaochu stop trying to match her up with Han Yuxi?Is it because of this incident that I feel sorry for myself?

The corner of her mouth raised slightly, and she chuckled, "Let him come over, he will come if he comes, what else can he do?"

Immediately, Han Qiaochu's eyes lit up, and he delivered the selected items to the shopkeeper, and said with a smile on his face, "I knew Sister Li wouldn't mind, but he refused to let him come over. Wait, I'll go right away Call him over."

Han Qiaochu pulled Han Yuxi over enthusiastically. Han Yuxi was puzzled, but he didn't intend to ask.

Xia Li stood up, and said to Han Yuxi with a smile on her face, "Hello, Mr. Han, I am your sister's good friend Xia Li. It's the first time we meet, please give me your advice."

Han Yuxi frowned slightly, and looked towards Xia Li with deep eyes, not sure what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd.

Xia Li pursed her lips, "Is Mr. Han looking down on me, Xia Li?"

Han Qiaochu also looked at her in a daze, and said in a daze, "Sister Li, don't you know my brother? Why..."

"Yes, but starting today, I will get to know him again. This way, it's good for both of us." She gave Han Yuxi a meaningful look, and lowered her head slightly as a gesture.

Han Yuxi naturally understood what she meant, since she wanted to do this, then so be it.

He stretched out his hand decisively without saying a word.

Seeing Han Yuxi's deflated expression, Xia Li felt a great satisfaction in her heart.

Can't you accept such a little bit, Han Yuxi, there are more waiting for you in the future, can you hold on?

Han Qiaochu looked at the interaction between the two of them, and felt strange in his heart, but he could only look at each other, not daring to say anything.

It wasn't until the shopkeeper brought the things up that Han Qiaochu had the opportunity to speak, and handed Han Yuxi and Xia Li a bunch of charcoal-grilled squid, "Sister Li, brother, you guys try this. You must have never tasted it before, so The squid made is really delicious.”

Xia Li only felt that Han Qiaochu's words were exaggerated. They had eaten too many seafood delicacies, so how could they be convinced by the night market here.

She just smiled and took the squid skewers from Han Qiaochu's hand, and when she ate them into her mouth, she realized that she was wrong.

The food we eat on weekdays is different from the food here, and here we are more pursuing a kind of taste stimulation, and we must grab the stomach of the guests at the first time.

She nodded to Han Qiaochu while eating, indicating that the squid tasted really good.

Han Qiaochu suddenly laughed, and touched Han Qiaochu's arm, "Brother, you eat, sister Li said it was delicious."

Only then did Han Yuxi raise his arm, ready to send the squid to his mouth.

He can't eat spicy food, so if such a squid is skewered, his stomach will probably be rumbling non-stop.

After hesitating for a while, he glanced towards Xia Li, Xia Li's eyes were burning, so he had no choice but to continue to put it in his mouth.

Immediately, a spicy smell rushed into his mouthpiece, and his whole body became hot. He bit the piece by piece, and accompanied the two of them to eat the spicy food.

Seeing that Han Yuxi's face was full of rejection, but she had no choice but to eat it, Xia Li's heart felt dark for a while.

It turned out that he also had something he didn't like to eat.After that, it would be worthwhile to bring Qiao Chu over to eat, even just to see his expression.

After there was not much left on the plate, Xia Li touched Han Qiaochu's arm, "Is there anything else you want to eat, I'll get some more."

She looked towards Han Yuxi, and said mockingly, "Mr. Han seems to have eaten two skewers of squid in one night, do you think the food here doesn't meet your Mr. Han's taste?"

Hearing Xia Li's aggressive tone, Han Qiaochu quickly shook his head and explained to him, "Sister Li, brother must not think so, right, brother."

Han Yuxi just took a deep look at Xia Li, his expression was still stern, but his complexion was already crimson. He suddenly put the whole plate in front of him, changed his previous habit of chewing slowly, and began to eat heartily.

Seeing this scene, Xia Li nodded slowly, "Well, since Mr. Han likes it so much, I'll order more."

Hearing Xia Li's words, Han Yuxi's body froze almost imperceptibly, and it took several seconds before he continued to eat, as if eating was all he could do now.

After eating, Xia Li went back to her home alone, while Han Yuxi sent Qiaochu back to the house she rented.

When he drove home, he glanced at Xia Li's car parked outside, and he felt a little more at ease. He was worried about her all night, afraid that something would happen to her.

Just come back, just come back!
When Xia Li went out the next day, she happened to meet Han Yuxi who was also coming out. Looking at Han Yuxi's almost pale face, her whole body revealed a trace of fatigue.

Xia Li couldn't help but feel relieved, smiled and said, "What's wrong with Mr. Han? Don't tell me, it's just because of a supper that he became like this. I won't take the blame for this."

Han Yuxi glanced at him lightly, his expression was full of exhaustion, his brows were slightly wrinkled, he got into the car without saying a word, and drove away in the dust.

Looking at Han Yuxi who had gone away in Juechen, Xia Li couldn't help sighing. She didn't know why, but she wanted to say such words when she saw Han Yuxi. It seemed that only in this way would she feel better.

She lowered her head slightly, put her hand on her heart slowly, and told herself softly, Xia Li, don't be soft-hearted, he deserves it.

After saying this, she seemed to let go a little.

That's right, he deserved all of these, why should he feel guilty.

Walking out of the company elevator, she went straight to Han Qiaochu and said, "Don't answer any calls about engagement or cooperation with M company today. I made it very clear at yesterday's press conference, and there is no need to tell the public Explain. If they still don't give up, ask them to go directly to Han Yuxi or M Company."

Han Qiaochu stood up in a daze, and said a little puzzled, "Why? The press conference held yesterday happened to be the most popular news today..."

The corners of Xia Li's mouth raised slightly, "Listen to me, honey. Alright, let's start working."

She went straight to the office. She was a friend in private, but it was about to be separated in the company.

Han Qiaochu just stared at her back in a daze, a little puzzled.

It seems that after this incident, sister Li's attitude towards her and her brother has undergone a 180-degree change, and she can't help but sigh.

She still can't let it go, after all, such a thing is always a stumbling block for her by the Han family.

After entering the office, she opened the blinds, opened the windows, and breathed the most natural air in the morning, which was more refreshing than staying in a dull computer room.

After she regained her composure, she called Chen Li.

"Uncle Chen, this matter has passed, thank you for your help."

Chen Li was running in the morning at this time, panting and stood aside, wiped his sweat and said, "Where is it, I have long regarded you as my own child, and I still need to help with this matter. But, I I can't figure out why you still want to marry the Han family."

He directly raised his own question and did not regard Xia Li as an outsider.

Xia Li was silent for a long time before she opened her mouth and said, "Uncle Chen, it's true that this matter is over, but I still can't change my original intention. In fact, I lied to you when I married the Han family. It's not because we love each other. It's about the two of us getting the agreement we need. So, if there is no such thing, the marriage will still be concluded."
