Hearing this, Chen Xi's heart could not help but tremble, she felt that she wanted to cry yet was unable to do so.

Tang Hongbo saw that she did not speak, and naturally knew what she was thinking in his heart. He could not help but reveal a smile at the corner of his mouth.

She thought about it, and still couldn't help but wound him.

A trace of anger flashed through Tang Hongbo's eyes, but it only lasted for a moment.

However, maintaining this posture, Chen Xi felt that his aura was oppressing Chen Xi to the point that he couldn't breathe. The familiar incense on him smelled like lemon.

This was when she was still alive. She liked to smoke all his clothes with incense, and what she liked most was the smell of lemon.

He hadn't thought of that little detail, which she had noticed the first time she saw him.

"Can you let me go first?" Chen Xi said with an unstable aura.

"What, you're afraid that Han Hao will see, afraid that he will misunderstand?" Tang Hongbo suddenly said.

Chen Xi's expression turned cold.

"What did you say?"

The corner of Tang Hongbo's mouth pulled out into a cold smile, and then he spoke.

"Didn't you say that Han Hao is your husband? Why did he deny it now? Do you often change husbands like this? " Tang Hongbo sarcastically said.

Chen Xi became even more angry, and her expression became even more unsightly.

"Yes, he's my husband. I was just afraid that he would misunderstand, so you got out of the way." Chen Xi said as she reached out her hand to push Tang Hongbo.

But Tang Hongbo did not move an inch.

"Is that so? Even if you are a married woman, I will make sure that you will be free. " Tang Hongbo said with a gloomy face.

Chen Xi laughed.

"Do you mean to say that you want to be my secret lover?"

Tang Hongbo's expression stiffened. He did not expect that she would become so eloquent three years later.

He was so angry that he laughed instead.

"Sure, I don't mind."

Chen Xi did not expect him to be so direct, and she felt embarrassed instead.

"You …" Chen Xi tried his best to push him away.

"Tang Hongbo, I'm warning you, I'm not Duan Wenzhuo. You can forget about making me fall in love with you." Chen Xi roared aggressively.

After Chen Yiran heard this, he immediately rushed over. He saw Chen Xi staring at Tang Hongbo angrily.

"What's wrong, Xi Xi?" Chen Yiran asked nervously.

"No, nothing." Chen Xi said softly.

"Did he bully you?" Chen Yiran looked at Tang Hongbo and said fiercely.

Chen Xi shook her head, but Tang Hongbo spoke slowly.

"Mr. Chen, what are you doing?"

"Xi Xi is my sister. If you dare to bully her, you will be making life difficult for me." Chen Yiran said with a gloomy face.

"What a coincidence, Qingxia is also my younger sister." Tang Hongbo added after he finished.

"But what should we do? I just like your sister. " Tang Hongbo said in a provocative tone.

Chen Xi couldn't help but have a headache. Was he looking for trouble or was he trying to pick a fight with someone?

"Tang Hongbo, what nonsense are you spouting?" Chen Xi rebuked.

"Tang Hongbo, do you have the ability to say it again?" Chen Yiran looked like he was about to fight.

"Even if I say it a hundred times more, it would be the same. Do you still need me to say it? " Tang Hongbo said coldly.

"You …" Chen Yiran didn't know why he felt so much hostility towards him.

Chen Yiran had just raised his fist when he was berated by her.

"Chen Yiran, what are you doing?" Meng Qingxia roared.

Chen Yiran did not say anything in hatred.

Chen Xi felt a headache from this chaotic scene, so she found a chance to quietly slip away.

But when she turned around and crashed into Han Hao's embrace, she immediately apologized.

"I'm sorry."

"What's wrong? Creek? " Han Hao asked.

"It's nothing, it was just a bit noisy over there. Where did you go?" Chen Xi didn't seem to see her at all.

"There was a temporary video conference just now and it ended." Han Hao said.

"You're so busy, yet you still want to play with us." Chen Xi smiled apologetically.

"They're not busy either. Right, where are they?" Han Hao looked at the living room, only the figures of the two children remained.

Chen Xi pointed to the balcony.

"What are they doing?"

"Who knows." Chen Xi shrugged.

Chen Xi didn't know what else they were talking about, but at this moment, he and Han Hao were sitting next to the fireplace.

She thought about what Meng Qingxia had told her on the balcony earlier.

So what happened back then wasn't his fault. It was her misunderstanding him, and she was also at fault.

She didn't know that he would do those things for her. If she had known, she definitely wouldn't have left, and wouldn't have been framed by Duan Wenyu.

However, Duan Wenyu's words to her had forced her to hate him.

He knew everything, but he kept hiding it from her, making her act in front of them like a clown.

I don't know what it was like for them to see her, to laugh at her or to despise her.

But now, it was different. She had died once, and she had been reborn again.

She wanted to throw away everything in the past, including her identity and name, and live like Chen Xi from now on.

She thought that after knowing the truth, she would be very excited, but she didn't. She didn't want to go back to the past and never wanted to be Duan Wenzhuo again.

"Brook, what are you thinking about?" Han Hao asked gently.

"Nothing much. I'm thinking about tomorrow's work." Chen Xi casually found an excuse.

Han Hao seemed to have thought about it for a long time before he said seriously.

"Brook, do you really plan to do it at the Tang clan? Have you ever thought about going back to France? "

"Of course, I will go back to France, but not now. Besides, I only signed a one-year agreement with the Tang clan. When my business is over, I will go back." Chen Xi said.

Han Hao was suddenly very happy in his heart, and said while looking at Chen.

"Really. Are you really going back to France?"

"If not, my parents are in France, so of course they went back." Chen Xi said.

But Han Hao never believed that she came back only for work. If she said she came back for work, how could France be any good?

It was only after what Tang Hongbo had said to him in the hospital that he became even more convinced that Chen Xi had not only come back for work.

"Can I ask you something?" Han Hao asked solemnly.

"What is it?" Chen Xi asked.

"Why did you come back? Don't tell me it's about work. " Han Hao asked.

Chen Xi suddenly went silent.

Before Han Hao could reply, he saw Tang Hongbo slowly walking over.

Tang Hongbo saw Han Hao and Chen Xi sitting together, his eyes darkened. This scene, no matter how he looked at it, made him a little angry.

"Boss Tang." Han Hao stood up and said with a smile.

"Mr. Han, I heard that you are from Miss Chen …"

"Tang Hongbo, what are you doing?" Chen Xi cut off Tang Hongbo's bland words.

"Why are you so nervous?" Tang Hongbo looked at Chen Xi and said.

Chen Xi snorted.

"Boss Tang, it's getting late. You can go back now."

"Since Xi Xi is in such a hurry to chase me away, is he afraid that I'll say something?" Tang Hongbo looked at Chen Xi and said with a smile that was not a smile.

Chen Xi was startled. When the two words "Xi Xi" came out of his mouth, she suddenly felt a little strange in her heart.

She retorted with a flushed face.

"Who allowed you to call me that?"

"Then what should I call you?" Tang Hongbo asked seriously.

Chen Xi was secretly relieved.

"Whatever."

Tang Hongbo looked at her indifferently, the gloom in his heart completely disappearing.

"Boss Tang, Little Creek is a little willful. In the future, I hope that Boss Tang can take good care of her at the company." Han Hao declared his sovereignty.

Tang Hongbo did not get angry, but looked at Chen Xi and slowly said.

"Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of her." Tang Hongbo emphasized the word "take care".

Chen Xi turned her head and did not speak further.

"It's indeed getting late. Remember not to be late for work tomorrow." Tang Hongbo placed his hands in his pockets, looking at Chen Xi with a deeper meaning.

Only when she saw Tang Hongbo's car leave, did she finally heave a sigh of relief.

That night, she felt as if a century had passed.

However, Meng Qingxia did not leave with Tang Hongbo. Seeing that Yi Yi did not let go while hugging Chen Yiran's leg, she felt a little headache.

"Yiyi, it's so late. We're going home." Meng Qingxia advised.

"No, Yiyi is going home with daddy." Yi Yi said stubbornly.

"No, listen to me obediently. Otherwise, you won't be able to see dad again." Meng Qingxia felt that it was unwise to be soft, so she decided to tough it out.

Yi Yi immediately cried.

"Yiyi, come. Daddy will hug you." Chen Yiran could only bend down and hug Yi Yi.

"Qingxia, I'll send you and Yi Yi back." Chen Yiran said.

"No need." Meng Qingxia was still brooding over Chen Yiran and Tang Hongbo's attitude earlier.

"Are you angry?" Chen Yiran asked.

"Don't think that Yi Yi will be able to call you daddy." Meng Qingxia was indeed very angry.

Chen Yiran sighed.

"Can you not be so stubborn?"

"I'm not stubborn. You're so prejudiced against my cousin. Just based on this point alone, it's impossible for us to survive." Meng Qingxia said.

"Tang Hongbo? "He's your cousin. I really didn't think that. Yes, I have prejudice towards him, but what does that have to do with you? He's him, you're you!" Chen Yiran said.

"Alright, then let me ask you, if my cousin likes Chen Xi, what would you do?" Meng Qingxia asked.

"I …" Chen Yiran opened his mouth, only to not know what to say.

"So, do you understand?" Meng Qingxia said softly.

"But, it's different. I'm Yi Yi's father, and you're Yi Yi's mother, this is a fact that cannot be changed. But Xi Xi is different, she brought Tony, I can't let her and Tony bet their happiness for the rest of their lives on Tang Hongbo." Chen Yiran explained.

Meng Qingxia was a little anxious, but she didn't know how to explain it to Chen Yiran. Tony was Hongbo's child, and Chen Xi was his wife.
