Chapter 215: Chapter 220: Miss Me?
The phone was quickly answered, and a warm voice filled with undeniable delight spoke, "Xiao Xi, you’re finally willing to call me back. I know I still have a place in your heart."
"I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed; Xiao Xi just fell asleep from exhaustion."
Lu Jinghan’s icy voice carried a bone-chilling coldness. He took out a cigarette, held it at his lips, and tilted his head to light it.
Li Chenghao certainly understood what Lu Jinghan meant by exhausted and asleep, thinking of the woman he deeply loved being entangled with another man in bed. Chenghao clenched his fist and punched the wall hard.
"My woman isn’t someone you can desire. You’d better drop that thought."
Li Chenghao sneered, "I know your power in An City, but even if I have nothing left, I won’t give up on Xiao Xi. I’m the first person she fell in love with."
Lu Jinghan tapped the ashes into the ashtray and spoke indifferently, "If you dare to pester her again, you won’t just lose everything but might also lose your life."
"Today, I kissed her again, right in the mall elevator. That girl’s taste is always so sweet. Lu Jinghan, you’d better kill me, or who knows, I might sleep with her one day."
Li Chenghao’s provocative words had successfully angered Lu Jinghan, whose deep, endless dark eyes now seemed as terrifying as hell’s Rakshasa.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Jinghan’s cigarette-clad fingertips rhythmically tapped on the glass window, making a subtle sound. Only when he heard the little woman on the bed mumbling his name did he put out the cigarette and walk over.
He lifted the blanket and lay down on his side, tightly pulling Han Xi into his arms, as if the woman in his arms was a treasure he begged for over three lifetimes.
....
The next morning, Han Xi opened her eyes to see roses sent by someone.
It’s so wonderful to feel pampered in the palm of Mr. Lu’s hand, such happiness.
After getting up, washing up, and changing clothes, Han Xi went downstairs, but didn’t see Lu Jinghan.
"Sister Zhang, where’s Jinghan?"
Han Xi sat at the dining table, feeling a bit down for not seeing someone.
Sister Zhang came out of the kitchen with a smile, placing breakfast in front of Han Xi, "Sir has already gone to the company, saying he had an urgent matter to handle, and instructed me not to wake ma’am."
Han Xi picked up the milk on the table and took a sip, "I understand, Sister Zhang."
Putting down the milk cup, she casually picked up her phone and sent Lu Jinghan a WeChat message, "Why didn’t you wait for me to wake up before leaving?"
In the office, Lu Jinghan was discussing matters with Feng Yi, exuding an icy aura that anyone could perceive. Even Assistant Zhang, who came to deliver coffee, didn’t dare to breathe heavily.
Seeing Han Xi’s WeChat message, Lu Jinghan’s lips finally curled into a smile. He tapped a few words on the screen and sent them back.
"Miss me?"
Unquestionably, Han Xi missed him. Just because she didn’t see him when she woke up this morning, she particularly wanted to see him now.
"Yes, I haven’t even kissed you yet."
Lu Jinghan looked at the message Han Xi sent, his smile deepening. This girl was becoming more and more inseparable from him.
"I’ll let you kiss me enough tonight."
Assistant Zhang watched the gentle expression of her boss and almost suspected Lu Jinghan of having a split personality.
Clearly, he was just full of menace, yet now he’s like a young man in love.
Feng Yi nodded and gestured for Assistant Zhang to leave. He picked up a cigarette on the table, lit it, and took a deep drag, "This Li Chenghao truly doesn’t know his limits. How could he think Little Sister-in-law is someone he can mess with?"
