Chapter 417 - 431: I only eat crab meat peeled by my own husband.
As she walked into the restaurant, Han Xi saw Liao Tingxiao seated in the distance.Liao Tingxiao looked up and saw Han Xi too. He stood up from his chair and draped his overcoat over her: "Put this on, don’t catch a chill."
Han Xi took off the coat with a look of disdain, her eyes chilly as she stared at him: "Mr. Liao, you brought me here by force, what is it that you want?"
"Xiao Xi, don’t misunderstand, Lu Jinghan has protected you so thoroughly that I had no other way to meet you except this."
Liao Tingxiao pulled out a chair for Han Xi, signaling her to sit down.
Han Xi sat at the table and sneezed from the cold: "Is there something urgent, Mr. Liao?"
Liao Tingxiao snapped his fingers at the waiter: "Please turn up the heat."
"Yes, Mr. Liao."
Today, Liao Tingxiao had reserved the entire restaurant just to have a private meal with Han Xi.
Han Xi wasn’t in a hurry; she quietly sat in the chair waiting to hear what he had to say.
Liao Tingxiao took a hairy crab from the table and elegantly opened the shell with his fingers: "I like you and just want to spend more time with you, that’s all."
"But I don’t like you."
Han Xi said coldly, and as she was about to get up and leave, a guard stopped her.
"Liao Tingxiao, rescuing you has brought me nothing but trouble. What do you really want?"
Seeing the burly guard, Han Xi could only sit back in the chair.
Liao Tingxiao smiled with an elegant curve at the corner of his mouth and spoke unhurriedly: "Try this crab meat, I had the restaurant specially import it from abroad, it’s very fresh."
"I only eat crab meat peeled by my husband."
Liao Tingxiao chuckled indifferently: "Try the food here; it tastes quite good. And Xiao Xi, you look particularly beautiful today."
Hungry now, Han Xi knew Lu Jinghan would come to rescue her, so there was nothing to worry or fear.
Han Xi picked up the chopsticks from the table and took a bite: "You and your sister are really unpredictable; one tries to have me killed in Paris, and the other says he likes me."
Upon hearing Han Xi’s words, Liao Tingxiao’s face suddenly darkened: "Tingting tried to kill you?"
"You might want to ask your sister yourself. I am your savior, after all. Is this how she repays me?"
Han Xi served herself a bowl of seafood soup, tilted a spoonful into her mouth: "The taste is quite good."
"Rest assured, I won’t let Tingting touch you even a bit in the future."
Outside the restaurant, Lu Jinghan had already stormed in, knocking out everyone guarding the entrance.
Lu Jinghan, his expression frosty, strode inside, his narrowed pupils terrifying like a Rakshasa.
"Jing Han." Han Xi stood up from her seat, only to be stopped by the guard again.
Beside them, Fu Bin and Feng Yi simultaneously drew their guns from their waist, pointing them at the guard and Liao Tingxiao’s heads.
In an instant, Liao Tingxiao’s men also drew their guns, leading to a tense standoff between the two parties.
Lu Jinghan walked over to Han Xi, pulling her tightly into his embrace: "Are you alright?"
"I’m fine, Mr. Liao said he invited me over for a meal."
To be honest, when they drew their guns, fear stirred in Han Xi’s heart, because Liao Tingxiao was a drug lord capable of anything.
She didn’t want Lu Jinghan facing any, even the slightest bit of danger.
