Seeing Chen Xi's older sister like appearance, Shen Mengdia became even more lively. Since he was young, even if he had everything, he still wouldn't be able to compare to his sister. She looked more like her big sister, so she was favored by her father. They were clearly twins, but they didn't look more like her than Chen Xi. Perhaps it was because of this unique condition that Han Aotian chose her over him.

Shen Mengdia couldn't help but want to tear Chen Xi's face into shreds.

Chen Xi laughed coldly. She would rather not have such a face.

"If you have the ability, you should also have a face like this. "That's right, Han Aotian likes this kind of face." Chen Xi wasn't someone who was willing to suffer a loss.

Facing Shen Mengdia's overbearing attitude, Chen Xi did not actually lose out.

The situation grew colder and colder. Both of them looked at each other, unwilling to admit defeat. The tension between the two of them was too tight, ready to break at any moment. At that time, the situation would become very difficult to handle.

Shen Mengdia snorted disdainfully and took a small step forward, moving closer to Chen Xi. Chen Xi didn't step back either, she just looked straight at Shen Mengdia, accepting her unkind gaze.

Shen Mengdia stared at Chen Xi for a while before letting out a cold laugh.

"Do you know where I just came from? From Brother Ao. " Seeing Chen Xi's slightly shaken expression, Shen Mengdia's smile deepened. "When we came out, I heard his assistant mention you. He knew I would come to you. He knew me well enough to know I would, but he didn't stop me. He didn't ask anyone to help you out. Chen Xi, I just slapped you. I did it well and I was very happy. "Let me tell you, there's never anything that I, Shen Mengdia, can't get. Why don't you take a look at it?"

Looking at Shen Mengdia's smile, Chen Xi felt as if she was in a world of ice and snow. It was bone-chilling cold. She didn't doubt Shen Mengdia's words at all. She knew that Shen Mengdia, being a proud person, disdained lying to her. If that was true, then Han Aotian would really do it. Who was she going to suffer such a slap for?

She didn't do anything wrong and didn't disappoint anyone. Furthermore, it had nothing to do with this lady in front of her. But if it wasn't Han Aotian, why would she be guided by so many people today?

"While hooking up with Brother Wu steel, I'm also not willing to let Brother Ao go. I've really underestimated you." Shen Mengdia's words were light as a feather as they smashed Chen Xi's heart, creating large holes in it so that she couldn't even say a word.

"Little Dia, why didn't you tell me earlier? Brother Jingtian is here to receive you."

Just as Chen Xi was about to fall, a figure appeared in front of her, blocking her way. Chen Xi knew that her heart was at ease as she looked at his back.

"Brother Jingtian, you …" Knowing that Han Jingtian was here to help Chen Xi, Shen Mengdia knew that it was impossible for her to pick on Chen Xi today.

He stamped his feet in hatred and said, "Brother Jingtian is very well-informed."

Han Jingtian smiled, "There's nothing we can do about it. This Z University, who doesn't know of my great name?"

"So, who are you trying to hide from?" Is it worth it for you to like someone like her, someone who has always been so forward to the times when she was young? " Shen Mengdia was even angrier. She couldn't understand the charm behind Chen Xi's body at all.

"I've never been able to figure out what's going on, and then it got hot. As a low-key person, Chen Xi wasn't willing to speak of her feelings. Thus, I didn't know that she was my sister-in-law from the start, thus why I pursued her in such a high-profile manner. But after knowing, I also quickly put it down. Chen Xi didn't argue with me so much because she was big, and I was too much of a playboy, so I ended up like this. " Han Jingtian rubbed his nose and pretended that it didn't matter.

Chen Xi listened to his words and silently tugged on the corner of her shirt.

"Is that so?" Shen Mengdia squinted her eyes and looked at Han Jingtian with suspicion.

However, a warm smile still hung on Wu Tie's face, and Shen Mengdia couldn't tell what he meant at all. Knowing that things could only get to this point, he had no choice but to leave. If Han Aotian didn't appear now, he definitely wouldn't appear if things went on like this. Shen Mengdia didn't dare to gamble. What she said just now was more than enough for Chen Xi to throw up.

Only when Shen Mengdia's car disappeared from his sight did Han Jingtian stop smiling and turn around to look at Chen Xi. Having just heard that Chen Xi had been beaten up by a girl driving a luxury car, he put down the nearly completed experiment on his hands and rushed over. Luckily, Chen Xi was not that stupid, so he felt slightly more at ease.

"Are you alright?" Han Jingtian raised his hand, but then thought of something and put it back down.

"It's fine, thank you." Chen Xi didn't dare to look at Han Jingtian, she could only pretend to be strong and turn her head away.

"Dia has always been like this since she was young. She likes her big brother. However, she is also a child, so we always feel that everything belongs to her. In the past, we always let her go, but I didn't expect that even after so many years, she still hadn't grown up yet. She's not a bad person, so don't think too much about it. " Han Jingtian said softly.

Chen Xi sneered in her heart. Not bad? In your eyes. She hadn't seen her when she was young, but if she didn't change now like she did when she was young, then this girl was too scary.

"Thank you for today, I'll be leaving first." Chen Xi didn't want to interact too much with Han Jingtian. Only by doing this would she be able to make him give up and become the best for him.

"Chen Xi." He couldn't hold it in any longer and called out to Chen Xi, who was about to leave.

"What?" Chen Xi didn't turn around, she only stopped her steps, and her voice sounded emotionless.

"It's okay, be careful on the way." Han Jingtian retracted his thoughts and said softly.

Chen Xi nodded and quickly left.

When Chen Xi was brought to the entrance of the luxurious private dining room, she was a little flustered. She didn't need to think to know who it was. Other than panic, she actually had a trace of anticipation in her heart.

Obviously, Shen Mengdia had humiliated him like this today. Also, she clearly felt uncomfortable with Han Aotian's indulgence towards Shen Mengdia, but why would she still look forward to it?

The door opened, and the woman in kimono, kneeling on the floor beside it, spoke in Japanese with a smile.

Chen Xi looked at the empty room. All the anticipation in her heart was gone as well, and her eyes darkened. When he turned around and wanted to say something, the waiter beside him turned into Han Aotian's special assistant.

"Miss Chen Xi, please wait inside for a moment. Our CEO has been delayed and is still on her way." assistant smiled as if he was wearing a mask. His manners were so proper that no one could find any fault with it.

But for some reason, when Chen Xi looked at people like them, she felt even more uncomfortable. Every day, she required herself to perfectly accomplish everything. She was also strict with herself. Was she really not tired from living like this?

Chen Xi nodded, took off her shoes, climbed onto the Japanese tatami, and sat down at the table.

The assistant smiled and snapped her fingers when she saw how unrelenting Chen Xi was. Someone then brought her food. A plate of delicate food was placed in front of Chen Xi, but she didn't have the slightest bit of appetite for it.

"Miss Chen Xi, have some snacks first. Our CEO will be here soon. I'll be right outside. Call me if you need anything." He went out with the lady who had just opened the door.

Chen Xi was the only one left in the small room. She felt even more uncomfortable and straightened her back even more. It was clearly just a meal, but Chen Xi was just like Ling Chi.

Time passed second by second. The room was so quiet that Chen Xizhi could hear her own breathing. Then, the sound of footsteps came closer and closer. Then, the door opened.

Chen Xi turned her head to look and what entered her eyes first was a piece of pink paper wrapped in fine paper. It was so beautiful that it made one's eyes sparkle.

This was the first time Chen Xi had seen a sky full of pink stars, just like the stars in the sky. They were extremely beautiful.

"Do you like it?" Han Aotian's voice only sounded more than ten seconds later.

Only then did Chen Xi come back to her senses. Han Aotian had already entered the box. Step by step, he walked in front of Chen Xi, neither fast nor slow. Chen Xi's heart beat faster and faster after a short distance.

"For you, Chen Chen." This was the first time Han Aotian's voice was so soft.

Chen Xi had forgotten how long it had been since Han Aotian had called her that. It felt like a lifetime ago.

Chen Xi did not understand. She had clearly been humiliated like this by Shen Mengdia in the morning, but at night, she acted like a different person. Those who didn't know better really thought that they were lovers in love. But only they themselves knew that the relationship between them, other than the verbal contract, was in danger.

"Thank you." Chen Xi stopped pretending to be so, and took the beautiful sky full of stars.

"What do you want to eat?" Han Aotian asked lightly.

"As you wish." Chen Xi had never eaten any of this. She didn't know what was so special about it, so she could only listen to Han Aotian's arrangement.

"Are there any raw ones?" Han Aotian still asked for Chen Xi's opinion.

Chen Xi nodded. As long as it was food, it was more or less the same.

However, when it really came to eating, Chen Xi regretted it. Mustard was something the Japanese liked to eat, but Chen Xi was eating it for the first time.

Before the mustard smell could reach her nose, Chen Xi covered her mouth and vomited before she could even contain her expression.

Han Jingtian didn't consider this, so he didn't get someone to change the mustard. However, when he saw Chen Xi's face turn pale due to the smell, he blamed himself in his heart.

Squatting in front of Chen Xi, he grabbed her hand.

Chen Xi was so shocked by Han Aotian's ambiguous action that she couldn't care less about it. She looked at Han Aotian with reddened eyes. It wasn't because he was moved, but because he had been choked.

Han Aotian pulled Chen Xi's hand away from her mouth and wiped it off seriously with a handkerchief. Then, he picked up the napkin on the table and passed it to Chen Xi.

Chen Xi held the porcupine in her mouth and had tears in her eyes. She looked at Han Aotian blankly, not knowing whether to swallow it or vomit it.

"Chen Chen, puke it out." Han Aotian's voice was like water, slowly flowing into Chen Xi's heart.

Chen Xi still didn't react. She could only follow Han Aotian's instructions in a daze and spit out what was in her mouth.
