The air in the room was still lingering with the scent of cooked food. It should have been a warm scene with the smell of fireworks, but it became heavy and depressing because of the two people standing in the living room, facing each other silently.
Qiao Yunshu was not used to this wonderful atmosphere. He stood up and said casually, "I went out to ask grandma to come back for dinner."
As soon as she took a step forward, her slender white wrists were clasped by a pair of strong palms. The man's calloused skin pressed against his wrists and she pulled hard in his direction. Qiao Yunshu was like a Like a kite, it flew to his side lightly, and its center of gravity fell unsteadily into his arms.
Qiao Yunshu felt the man's body full of male hormones and majestic vitality, and also felt that she was being wrapped in a heavy scent of ebony. She blushed inexplicably and her heart started to beat, "Let go! What are you going to do?"
When Li Hanting spoke, his hot breath was exposed on the skin on the side of Qiao Yunshu's neck that was exposed to the air, "Give me another chance to pursue you, okay? Don't push me away."
Qiao Yunshu was really angry. She raised her foot and stepped on him hard without any strength.
She clearly felt the man's body tense up for a moment due to the pain, but the hand around her waist did not loosen at all, but held him tighter, as if he was afraid that she would escape from him.
"Li Hanting, is this your attitude towards pursuing people? If I say I don't agree, will you kidnap me home and imprison me the next second, forcing me to agree?"
As soon as these words came out, it really had a shocking effect on the man. The arm still on him relaxed. Qiao Yunshu took this opportunity to break away from his arms, stood up suddenly, turned around, and looked at the man sitting on the sofa. .
Li Hanting cautiously raised a hand, wanting to hold her hand, but Qiao Yunshu dodged it. His dark eyes showed obvious hurt and loss.
"I don't mean to force you, I'm just scared."
Qiao Yunshu was obviously stunned after hearing his words.
Fear?
The powerful people of the Li Group are aggressive and decisive in the shopping mall, but the all-powerful boss can actually say he is afraid?
She felt a little confused and couldn't understand, "What are you afraid of?"
Because Li Hanting raised his head and captured her with his dark and deep eyes, his voice was hoarse and low, with a hint of unnoticeable loneliness in it, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch up with you, and I'm afraid that you are with Chi Yu." , or enter into marriage with another man."
From Qiao Yunshu's perspective, the man raised his head slightly as he looked up at her. His eyes, which had always been cold and deep, now looked a bit like the wet eyes of a large dog, making people feel that he was loyal and sincere.
But this illusion only flashed through her heart, and she did not soften her heart. "Whoever I am with and who I enter into marriage with have nothing to do with you."
"I know." A bitter smile appeared on Li Hanting's lips, "But knowing is one thing, and whether you can accept it is another. Do you understand? No man would look at the woman he loves. Being embraced by other males.”
There was a bit of pain and struggle in his eyes, making him look a little paranoid, "Why can Chi Yu chase you? Why can so many people be courteous in front of you, but I can't? Look? When you stand with them, I am almost jealous to death."
Qiao Yunshu chuckled lightly, "It's not because of you. Ask yourself why Chi Yu can do it but you can't? Because Chi Yu has never done anything to hurt me from the beginning to the end, and even treated me when I was in trouble. He gave me a helping hand, always helped me, and encouraged me. Regardless of the fact that he chased me, for me, he is a friend worth keeping."
"And you?" She said mercilessly, "What have you done to me in the past? Did you also help me, encourage me, and give me a helping hand?"
"Rabbit is so cute. I do thank you for that, but it doesn't mean that I can accept you. If you keep pestering me, I will only be disgusted with you."
The life breath all over Li Hanting's body seemed to have been wiped out all of a sudden, like a lifeless corpse.
Qiao Yunshu sighed lowly, "Li Hanting, I hope you can think clearly. You'd better not pester me in the future."
At this moment, there was a sudden movement outside the door. Seeing this, Qiao Yunshu immediately adjusted the expression on her face and ran to open the door. Sure enough, her grandmother who had gone out to feed the neighbor's pet came back.
Grandma didn't notice what kind of argument they had while she was away. He smelled the appetizing aroma of food in the air, "Is the food ready? I just met Sister Wang downstairs. I just had a few more chats with her.”
Qiao Yunshu pouted coquettishly, "I know you've been chatting with people outside for so long, I'm almost going to die."
"If you're hungry, I wonder if you and Han Ting will eat first. You don't have to wait for me."
The grandfather and grandson were talking in a relaxed tone. The silent man sitting on the sofa suddenly stood up and nodded slightly to grandma, "Grandma, I will not eat with you. Thank you for your hospitality. I have something to do in advance." gone back."
Grandma was quite puzzled, "What are you so anxious about? It's more important than eating. Don't you have a stomachache? What if the stomachache gets worse on the way back now? It's better to sit down and take a few bites before leaving. What time are you wasting?"
Li Hanting took a deep look at Qiao Yunshu, his thin lips twitched, and finally shook his head, "No, the company is in a hurry."
After saying that, he opened the door and went out, and the tall figure quickly disappeared around the corner of the corridor.
Grandma realized it later, as if she had discovered something keenly. She turned around and looked at Qiao Yunshu's face suspiciously, "Did you and Han Ting have an argument while I was out? Could it be that they had another argument? "
Qiao Yunshu showed an innocent expression and blinked, "No, oh, a big boss like him usually takes care of everything and makes millions of dollars a minute. Maybe there really is some big project that he needs to host. As for the overall situation, he and I have nothing to argue about."
Grandma has always known that Li Hanting's status is unusual. Even in a place like City A, where elites gather, he belongs to the top of the upper class. It would be normal for him to be busy with work and take care of everything, so grandma did not go back to Li Hanting. Doubtful to investigate the matter further, he went to the kitchen and washed his hands, "Let's eat."
