Chapter 181: Are You a Pervert, Han Xi?

With the assistance of the hotel staff, Fang Zhou managed to finish his meal smoothly.

Although it wasn’t exactly an enjoyable meal, Han Xi had helped him significantly.

He couldn’t afford to show any displeasure and could only thank her.

“President Han, we’ll head out now. We’ll come back in the afternoon. If you need anything, just call us.”

“Okay.”

Han Xi responded indifferently.

The hotel staff quickly left the hospital. Their departure wasn’t too noisy, but Fang Zhou thought Han Xi had also left.

He relaxed, lying back on the bed, ready to continue listening to “Journey to the West.”

Han Xi suddenly spoke up.

“Don’t you need to use the bathroom? I’ve been here for a while and haven’t seen you go.”

Her cold voice echoed in the quiet ward, startling Fang Zhou.

He had thought he was alone.

But wait, what kind of question was that?

Why ask about something like going to the bathroom?

If I need to go, I’d call the nurse.

Fang Zhou found it strange. Could she be thinking…

“I don’t need to go right now.”

No matter her intention, it was best not to reveal his needs.

“Alright, call me when you need to.”

Han Xi didn’t insist, instead, she found a table, took out her tablet, and started working.

Although she had freed up time today, it was just personal freedom.

She still had many work-related matters to handle.

After all, she had been in the mountains for a long time, and many meetings awaited her. She couldn’t come back tomorrow.

Han Xi’s work on the tablet made almost no noise. The Bluetooth keyboard was very light, and she herself wasn’t much of a talker.

The ward fell silent once again.

Fang Zhou thought of asking her to leave.

But then he remembered he had just eaten her food. The saying “You can’t be too demanding when you’re eating someone else’s food” came to mind, so he decided against it.

Might as well lie down for a bit.

Miraculously, just a few minutes after lying down, he felt the urge to use the bathroom.

Fang Zhou silently cursed his bladder: Can’t you be more dependable, buddy?

Thinking about it, he admired Han Xi’s ability more than her wealth. Whatever she said seemed to come true.

It looked like Han Xi wasn’t planning to leave this afternoon.

After a brief hesitation, Fang Zhou decided to seek help.

“Uh, I need to use the bathroom. Can you help me?”

Actually, this ward was specially designed for patients with special needs.

There were handrails along the walls leading to the bathroom.

After three or four days, one could navigate to the bathroom easily.

But Fang Zhou was only in his second day and couldn’t distinguish directions yet, so he needed help.

“Of course.”

Han Xi promptly put down her work and walked to his bedside, taking his hand.

At the touch of their hands, she felt her body’s cells screaming, like a person finding an oasis in the desert.

Han Xi knew this was her desire for Fang Zhou.

It was her body’s instinctive need for her loved one.

But just holding hands wasn’t enough. Every cell screamed, “Not enough! More!”

Han Xi suppressed her inner turmoil, placing both hands on his to guide him to the bathroom.

The short walk quickly ended, and she led him inside, saying, “The toilet is here.”

Fang Zhou nodded lightly, indicating he understood.

But he didn’t hear her leaving. He found it strange. Did she leave or not?

“Han Xi?”

Fang Zhou called out tentatively.

“Yes, I’m here.”

Amusingly, her reply sounded like a voice assistant from some phones—short but inexplicably comforting.

“I need to use the bathroom.”

Fang Zhou hinted.

But she didn’t move, not even a step.

“Go ahead.”

Fang Zhou felt awkward. I need you to leave so I can use the bathroom, lady.

Are you a pervert, Han Xi?

People are strange. When he was dating his ex-girlfriends, he didn’t feel embarrassed about such things.

But after breaking up, exposing any private part felt shameful.

Probably because the relationship wasn’t as close anymore.

“Could you step out and close the door? I’ll call you when I’m done.”

Fang Zhou thought he was being polite and straightforward. She should understand, right?

Unfortunately, Han Xi wasn’t someone easily dismissed. Her intentions were never pure from the start.

She crossed her arms, leaning against the wall, glancing at Fang Zhou, and said nonchalantly, “Go ahead. I’m not stopping you.”

Fang Zhou: Speechless.

Suddenly, he didn’t feel like going anymore.

“It’s not convenient with you here. Could you step out?”

Fang Zhou didn’t have a habit of using the bathroom in front of others.

But Han Xi was blunt.

“I’m just worried you might fall. Besides, it’s not like I haven’t seen it before. Are you shy?”

Before Fang Zhou could respond, she smiled and continued.

“Oh, should I hold it for you? It’d be troublesome for the cleaning staff if you made a mess.”

Fang Zhou: !!!

He looked in her direction, filled with shock and disbelief.

Does she know what she’s saying?

You’re a CEO!

You’re the high-and-mighty woman who views everything as insignificant!

You’re a billionaire CEO, what are you saying?

If Qin Yun had said this, he wouldn’t be surprised, because Qin Yun was a pervert.

But this was Han Xi.

Her coming to the hospital to watch over him was already shocking.

Now she wanted to care for him like a personal nanny? How could he not be terrified?

“No, no, I can manage.”

Comparatively, suddenly undressing in front of her didn’t seem so bad.

At least it was less embarrassing than her holding it for him.

Besides, Han Xi would be the one at a loss, not him.

Han Xi leaned against the wall, quietly watching his movements.

A phrase came to her mind: Negotiation tactics indeed work.

When you want to achieve a goal, it’s best to propose something more outrageous first. The other party will then settle for your initial request.
