[I can't help wanting to care for her, to watch over her. Am I sick? — Tan Zixi]
—————
"Don't wear such high heels, it's not safe."
Xunmi's eyes widened, slightly taken aback; this person was concerned about her.
Tan Zixi felt a moment of annoyance. "Sorry, I startled you. I'm Tan Zixi."
The searcher was surprised, but the guests who were being moved over were shocked.
His secretary and a group of bodyguards all looked like they'd been struck by lightning.
When had they ever seen such a warm-hearted boss who would even apologize? It was more unbelievable than blood raining down from the sky.
Looking at the people on the sofa, the secretary felt that this was the right thing to do.
A woman with such stunning beauty would soften any man's heart.
Although his boss is no ordinary person, he is still a genuine man.
Many people recognized him as soon as he appeared.
However, many young people who came with their elders did not recognize this person.
However, the name Tan Zixi is known to everyone.
If there's a fixed triangular pattern of dominance in the capital, then this person is the emperor who stands directly at the top.
Tan Zixi, 26 years old, joined the army at the age of fifteen and obtained the rank of lieutenant colonel at the age of eighteen.
He was awarded the rank of Major General at the age of twenty-two, a time when he was in the prime of his life.
However, he resolutely retired from the military and went into business, founding the Yuxi Group, which mainly deals in real estate and electronics.
My grandfather was the Chairman of the Central Military Commission, and my father was a general.
My mother is the director of an independent military hospital with the rank of major.
He is an absolute third-generation Red, a legend in the capital.
Those who have been baptized in blood always retain a certain amount of ferocity.
Rumors say he is cold and aloof, never paying attention to anything other than personal gain.
However, he has a handsome face that makes people flock to him and various high-end features.
Half the women in the capital wanted to get into his bed, but not a single one succeeded.
This person's life was simply too regular, too rigorous, and too ascetic.
But what did they see now? This person was actually being so gentle to Miss Qin.
Either they're seeing things, or things are about to change drastically.
Xunmi's inner self was also a madness; she was absolutely certain that the male protagonist of this world was named Tan Zixi.
But who can tell her that the original novel didn't mention this gentleman's presence at all during the banquet?
Moreover, shouldn't he treat the female lead differently? Why does he seem to have a good impression of her?
No matter how restless she was inside, Xunmi still maintained a very good appearance.
However, her slightly stiff expression revealed her current unease.
"Mr. Tan, I didn't expect you to come. It's an honor to have you here."
"This is my youngest daughter, Qin Huai Se. Huai Se, quickly greet President Tan."
Qin Sheng was overjoyed; he was practically grinning from ear to ear at Tan Zixi's arrival.
I originally sent this invitation just to give it a try.
Who would have thought that it would actually work?
This must be good luck brought to her by Huai Se; she had just returned home when she welcomed this important person.
Qin Huai Se, who was pushed out, had a flushed face and a shy expression.
She had the air of a delicate woman, and her voice was soft: "Hello, Brother Zixi."
No one knew how excited Qin Huai Se was; she had liked this person for ten years.
She climbed up the ladder with all her might, hoping to return to the Qin family.
This way, she would have a status that matched his, and she would have enough leverage to be with him.
Xunmi frowned slightly, watching coldly as the father and daughter in front of her began to put on an act again.
Thinking to myself: Since you're going to put on a show, wouldn't it be unfair of me not to watch it openly?
Relax your body, lean back on the sofa, and cross your legs.
She exudes a languid elegance.
"Who are you? I don't know you." This woman's attempt to be intimate was just like any other woman trying to get into his bed.
Tan Zixi stood up, his softened expression instantly turning icy cold, and his gaze towards Qin Huai se was like that of a venomous snake.
Once the location is determined, they will act without hesitation.
Qin Huai Se was clearly surprised to be said that by Tan Zi Xi, her eyes filled with disbelief and hurt.
There was even a hint of sorrow in her voice, and tears streamed down her face.
Qin Sheng stood there awkwardly, watching his daughter cry, and immediately tried to comfort her.
Xunmi is in a great mood, and all the previous frustrations have been cleared away.
She felt happy just seeing those two disgusting people.
She reached out and gently tugged at the man standing in front of her, expressing her sincere gratitude.
"Mr. Tan, thank you for coming today."
Tan Zixi paused for a moment, only now realizing that he used to hate being touched the most.
He not only rescued the person just now, but now he shows no resistance to her touch.
Instead, a strange emotion began to grow in his heart, but he was too weak to know what it was for the time being.
"You're welcome." The voice remained cold and hard, yet it couldn't hide the subtle warmth that flowed through it.
He came because he was bewitched by that smile.
He had muddledly agreed to his mother's request; in fact, he knew his mother wanted him to find a girlfriend quickly.
The mere thought of those women who flirted and posed in front of him filled him with a sense of disgust.
But the person in front of me seems to be an exception; their eyes are deep and unfathomable, making it impossible to tell what they are thinking.
Xunmi smiled faintly, but in her heart she was thinking that she had a feeling that the plot had fallen apart.
Especially the character design, what happened to the protagonist being cold and aloof?
Why are you being so gentle with me?
Qin Huai Se was so jealous she was going crazy. Why was this happening?
This shouldn't be happening; it's not what she planned.
Qin Xunmi thought that the woman was just a spoiled and arrogant young lady, so why should she be treated differently by that man?
That belongs to her, and she must never let anyone take it away.
'Ding... The female lead has turned evil, master, please be careful.' Baby's voice suddenly rang in Xunmi's mind.
Xunmi was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.
Looking at Qin Huai Se without any attempt to hide it, heh... she's turned evil, that's great!
At this moment, I feel like a thousand alpacas are running from south to east in my heart, only to return along the same route.
"Turn to the dark side" is a load of rubbish. Don't think she's stupid and doesn't know. Just hearing the word "turn to the dark side" doesn't mean anything good.
Tan Zixi was a little puzzled as to why she was frowning one moment and gritting her teeth the next, her expressions were so varied.
He reached out and patted her head, as if to comfort her.
A gentle pat on the head, and utter defeat is found.
She stared blankly at the male protagonist, her mind racing.
This guy is definitely not the main character, right? Who the hell replaced the main character? Get him back here!
Qin Huai Se, who had finally been coaxed by Qin Sheng, immediately burst into tears again, her face covered in tears as if they were free.
It looked disheveled and pitiful, sobbing like a bullied little animal.
Searching for the subtle twitch at the corner of her mouth, she finally understood.
Why is it that even the original owner's stunning beauty can't compare to this innocent-looking girl?
The other party was simply too good at acting and knew too well how to use their own advantages to attract people.
