Han Yaotian never reached out to anyone except to ask them for favors.
Yun Xi couldn’t help but being a little curious about why Han Yaotian had come to her at this time.
“What happened last time is over. I’ve accepted your apology. Why has Director Han come again now?”
“It’s still about what happened last time, when I made Miss Yun upset. This time, I made a reservation for Jinding. Let’s have some Chinese food.”
“Sorry, we just came back from eating.”
“Then let’s go have afternoon tea together. I have a favor to ask of you, Miss Yun. Do you think you could spare some of your time?”
From Han Yaotian’s words, it was obvious that this invitation didn’t include Zhao Yumo. Yun Xi glanced at the insistent Han Yaotian. If she didn’t agree, he would probably wait at the school gates every day.
Not wanting any more rumors spreading around school, Yun Xi gestured with her eyes at Zhao Yumo.
Zhao Yumo waved her hand and exhorted Yun Xi. “I’ll go get some rest. You, get back to class on time.”
After getting in the car, Yun Xi turned to look at Han Yaotian. “Find a coffee shop. If you have something to say, spill it out. I don’t want you to have to come all this way again. That could be really exhausting for you.”
Every time he faced the prickly Yun Xi, Han Yaotian felt completely powerless, as if he were kicking an iron plate.
But this time, he had had no choice but to come to see her again.
This girl obviously didn’t like him. If he can’t figure out how to ease their relationship, it won’t be convenient for her to do anything to help him in the future.
Especially since this girl has an unusual relationship with the Chen family, the Jiang family, and even Young Marshal Mu.
She was like a network of relationships, and as long as he could hold her in his hands, he could control this network and gain more power and benefits for the Han family.
“You don’t seem to like me very much. What am I not doing well enough, or are my looks not pleasing to you? Tell me what I’m doing wrong, and I can change it.”
Taking advantage of the red light, he turned his head and looked at her gently as he spoke with a sincere expression.
Yun Xi turned her head away. Han Yaotian’s serious, attentive expression looked exactly the same as it had in her previous life.
In her last life, every time he used this method on her, she couldn’t help but give in to his gentleness. Again and again, she smiled as she quenched her thirst by drinking his poison.
In this life, upon seeing Han Yaotian acting like this again, she only found it ironic and ridiculous.
Her fear of falling down and death haunted her every time she dreamed at night. This was her lifelong nightmare.
Discreetly concealing the emotion in her eyes, she turned her head away to hide her emotional turmoil.
“I’m not familiar with Director Han, nor are we friends. It doesn’t matter whether I like you or not.”
“We can become friends if we aren’t yet friends. I am also friends with Young Master Chen, so how can I be a bad guy? Speaking of this, I also graduated from Jing High School, so you’re technically my junior. If you’re admitted to Jing University in the future, you’ll be my junior alumni again. With such a deep bond, why can’t we be friends?”
“Then it depends on Mr. Han’s motives for becoming my friend. If you want to use me to achieve certain ulterior motives, then sorry, but I don’t like being exploited as a friend.”
She was so straightforward that for a moment there was a flash of embarrassment and shame on Han Yaotian’s face.
Soon, however, he resumed his gentle, elegant demeanor, as if he didn’t understand what she meant. He continued maneuvering the steering wheel with an airy smile.
“Miss Yun is the most interesting girl I have ever met. Other girls let me get my way in everything because of my identity, but you’re different. You’re very real and aren’t pretentious like they are. In our social circle, it’s hard to make real friends.”
Inside her down jacket, Yun Xi’s hands tightened their grips inch by inch. He had also said exactly this to her in her previous life.
Even after so long, it really felt like it had been yesterday.
If it hadn’t been for her experience in her previous life, she might have been moved by what he said.
“Thank you, Mr. Han, for your flattering compliments, but I don’t really like becoming friends with people in your social circle.”
“What about the Eldest Heir? Isn’t he also in my social circle?”
Yun Xi smiled. “He’s different.”
At the very least, he wouldn’t spend all his time thinking about how to scheme against her.
After turning her head away, she happened to glance in the rearview mirror and suddenly realized that a van was close behind them.
The van’s license plate was covered, blocking the number. The speed of the car kept at the same level as theirs and followed them when they changed lanes.
Obviously, they were being followed!
