Chapter 199: Chapter 199

Su Li laughed dryly, was Feng Huaijin hinting again that she was too ugly to be seen?

Feng Huaijin propped up his elbow, his tone indifferent: "Or do you think you and I can’t be seen together?"

Su Li’s face instantly turned bright red; Feng Huaijin had exposed her with a single remark!

Su Li quickly picked up the glass on the table and took a hard sip of ice water before saying, "No, I’m afraid I’ll tarnish your reputation."

Feng Huaijin’s lips curved upward, his gaze full of interest. He reminded her with a smile, "The cup you’re drinking from is mine."

"Pfft—cough cough!" Su Li instantly choked, staring at Feng Huaijin in shock.

Feng Huaijin watched Su Li’s expression, feeling quite pleased.

"What’s the matter?" Feng Huaijin tidied his clothes happily, leaning lazily on the leather sofa, he asked casually.

Su Li thought for a moment, then leaned forward to whisper, "Huaijin, is your mother feeling better?" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel·fıre·net

Last time, Feng Huaijin hurried back, she vaguely heard Xiao Heng saying that a nurse wanted to secretly harm Madam Feng.

Truly a wealthy family, with all sorts of bizarre methods.

Feng Huaijin’s eyes darkened slightly, his tone somewhat indifferent as he said, "Luckily Xiao Heng discovered it, so it didn’t succeed."

But unfortunately, they couldn’t find out who was behind it.

There are too many people in the Feng Family, everyone coveting Madam Feng’s position, anyone could be responsible.

Feng Huaijin’s slender fingers held the glass cup, fingertips turning slightly pale from the pressure. He took a sip of ice water and lightly said, "Su Li, if someone else invited me out today, I probably wouldn’t have come."

He had to stay at the hospital.

Su Li’s hand holding the ice water cup felt like it was on fire, burning intensely. Even the cold temperature of the ice water couldn’t calm the heat on her face.

A blush instantly spread across her cheeks, Su Li felt like she was trapped in a steamer, unable to escape.

Her heart pounded wildly, she didn’t even dare to look at Feng Huaijin’s eyes.

She was so nervous she almost wanted to flee.

Feng Huaijin propped one elbow on the table, lazily supporting his chin with the other hand, his tone full of certainty: "Speak, what’s the matter?"

Su Li’s face flushed with embarrassment, he guessed right...

Su Li hurriedly took out a comprehensive document from the paper bag, looking eagerly at Feng Huaijin: "Help me look at it, how much should I invest to maximize the benefits?"

Feng Huaijin glanced at it, his eyes quickly filling with interest.

Little girl only knows how to leverage him?

But... the ice in his heart melted at that moment.

Being needed, feeling depended upon... Feng Huaijin smiled gently, he had to admit it wasn’t bad.

Su Li was somewhat puzzled.

"Sit next to me," Feng Huaijin repeated.

Su Li slowly and reluctantly sat next to him, very close, her exposed elbow lightly touched his, their body heat transferring to each other’s skin, causing Su Li to quickly pull away.

Her heart started beating uncontrollably.

Why was she always palpating lately?

Feng Huaijin didn’t even look at her, his gaze quickly scanning through the detailed proposal.

His profile under the soft light seemed to glow as if lightly gilded. Strands of fine hair lightly fell, his profile extraordinarily handsome.

When he focused, there was an indescribable attraction.

Feng Huaijin lowered his eyes to examine the proposal, Su Li sat beside him watching.
