Chapter 224 Completely powerless to resist
The launch ceremony for the Taihu Bay project began promptly at noon.
At the ceremony, Han Xi, as the representative of the project's largest investor, delivered a brief speech.
Next came speeches from the project leaders, and after everyone took turns on stage, it was time for the final launch.
A dozen or so key project leaders and local representatives stood on the stage, and a hostess came up and gave each of them a golden key.
Han Xi, dressed in black trousers and a shirt, stood in the middle. To his left was the government representative from Beicheng, and to his right was Sheng Qianrui.
At this moment, Sheng Qianrui was completely different from her crazy self in the room. She was dressed in a black satin suit, and her hair was neatly pinned up, showing the aura and authority of the general manager of Shengshi Group.
Whether by coincidence or design, Han Xi was dressed in black today, and Sheng Qianrui, after going back to her room and coming out, also changed into all black.
This made them the most distinctive and eye-catching among all the people wearing white shirts.
People from the publicity department and several invited media outlets were snapping photos eagerly below.
Someone shouted, "President Han and President Sheng, look this way!"
Han Xi turned his head, and Sheng Qianrui immediately tilted her head in his direction as well, her red lips curving into a polite smile.
Upon seeing this, the reporters immediately captured this rare moment.
The launch ceremony concluded successfully, and the banquet will be held in the evening.
Beicheng is located right next to the sea, and the Taihu Bay project is situated in the bay at the easternmost part of Beicheng.
The hotel where Han Xi and his team stayed was only one street away from the Taihu Bay project. From the hotel balcony, they could see the open space filled with large pieces of equipment.
Looking at the figures moving on the beach in the distance, Fang Li suddenly felt an impulse.
I feel an urge to write something.
When Han Xi returned from his work, he saw a woman who had already washed up and was wearing only a bathrobe, lounging on a recliner on the balcony, occasionally writing and drawing with a pen and paper in hand.
Suddenly, the world tilted, and all the colors flowed toward you. I stood on the balcony, afraid to blink, lest I miss you, every single moment.
Fang Li nodded in satisfaction, thought for a moment, and continued writing: "This is a secret, only told to the night. I count my heartbeats, waiting for you..."
"What to write?"
With a slight slant of the pen, a diagonal line was drawn on the paper.
Fang Li turned around abruptly and saw that the man had returned at some point and was leaning slightly over the back of his chair, looking at the notebook in her hand.
Fang Lilian raised her hand to cover her mouth, frowning: "Why do you walk so quietly?"
"Really?" Han Xi smiled. "It's clearly because you're too focused. What are you writing? Why are you covering it up?"
As he spoke, he actually reached out and grabbed Fang Li's hand.
Fang Li was startled; how could she let him see such pretentious sentences?
She immediately jumped off the recliner with her notebook in hand and dashed to the other side of the balcony. "You, weren't you very busy? Why are you back so soon!"
Han Xi looked at her calmly and said nothing.
Fang Li simply hid the notebook behind her back, raised her eyebrows, and tilted her chin up with a charmingly innocent expression. "It's a secret, you can't see it anyway."
Han Xi held up one finger. "Just one look."
"No."
"Half an eye."
Fang Li chuckled: "What can you see with just half an eye, President Han? When did you start liking Kuang Ren?"
Han Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you sure it won't work?"
"Definitely not! It won't work!"
The two faced off for a moment across the deck chairs.
Meeting the man's subtly shifting eyes, Fang Li felt a growing sense of unease.
She stared intently at the man's expression, her hand hidden behind her back silently tearing off the page and carefully folding it.
Just as she was scanning the room for a suitable hiding place, the man opposite her suddenly moved.
His tall figure was like a phantom. Before Fang Li could react, he had already appeared in front of her, stretching out his long arm from behind her.
Fortunately, Fang Li had a premonition, and the moment he reached out, she immediately stuffed the thing in her hand into her chest.
Han Xi paused slightly, his gaze following her hand as it fell.
"Now let's see how you take it."
Fang Li crossed her arms smugly, her delicate chin slightly raised as she glanced at the man beside her.
Seeing that the man seemed genuinely frightened by her actions and stood there without making any further moves, she smiled with satisfaction and prepared to walk into the room.
Unexpectedly, the moment she turned around, the man behind her suddenly changed his expression.
A fleeting, profound meaning flashed in his eyes, followed by a slight, mischievous smile playing on his thin lips. With a swift movement, he pulled Fang Li, who had only taken two steps, into his arms.
"where to?"
"you!"
"Seduce me?"
Fang Li was stunned: "What?!"
"There's none?"
Feeling two burning gazes slowly moving down from the side of her neck and finally landing on her slightly loosened chest, Fang Li was so startled that she immediately raised her hand to cover it.
"Han Xi, you're being a pervert!"
"Who exactly is being a scoundrel?" Han Xi gently turned her arm around and brought her back.
They faced each other, his arms tightly wrapped around her slender waist, his brows furrowed, a smile playing on his lips: "In front of a man, you're sure I'm being a pervert, and not that you're intentionally seducing him?"
"..." Fang Li stared in disbelief.
"Ah Li, do you remember what I said when I came to Beicheng?"
Fang Li's surprise quickly turned into embarrassment. She bit her lip and lowered her eyes in a panic, "You said so much, how am I supposed to know which sentence it is?"
Han Xi remained silent.
After a moment, he sighed softly, "Trying to cheat again?"
Fang Li's neck turned red, but she tried to remain calm, "Who's cheating? I really don't remember..."
"It's alright." The man interrupted her before she could finish speaking.
Fang Li looked up in surprise.
The man stared at her with deep eyes, his thin lips parted slightly, and he said meaningfully, "I don't mind reminding Ali myself. Trust me, you'll remember soon."
Fang Li: "......."
Without giving her a chance to speak again, the man suddenly lowered his head, and his lips were gently captured by two slightly cool touches.
Fang Li felt her heart skip a beat, her whole heart pounding as if it was about to jump out of her throat.
Her fingers curled up unconsciously, and before she knew it, she had clenched the man's neatly arranged clothes.
"Do you remember now?" His lips were almost touching hers, and his thumb gently stroked her cheek.
Fang Li's mind was completely blank, and feeling his burning breath, her breathing became tight.
"Ah? What did you say?"
Han Xi chuckled, "That means you haven't figured it out yet. Let's continue."
This time, the lips landed harder.
His kisses were deeper than the last, each one tender and lingering, sometimes like a gentle feather brushing against you, sometimes like a sudden downpour.
It must be said that in some aspects, men always have a stronger ability to understand than women.
It was their first kiss, and the man in front of her was still so tense and inexperienced. But in such a short time, his kissing skills had improved so rapidly that she was completely defenseless.
If Fang Li weren't certain he wouldn't cheat on her with other women, she would have thought he had practiced somewhere.
On an early autumn afternoon, a gentle breeze was blowing.
The man's kiss was like red wine with alcohol, and Fang Li was soon completely intoxicated by it.
Feeling the man's increasingly passionate kiss and the restrained desire in his palm, Fang Li's legs went weak, and she clung to him.
The two continued kissing and unknowingly moved from the balcony to the bedside.
