Chapter 1356: Was the Purpose to Lure You Abroad?

Feng Huaijin took Su Li away and by the way, dialed Lu Xiaomian’s number for Su Li.

"Xiao Mian, I have to leave with... Fourth Young Master for now."

Lu Xiaomian breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiao Li, as long as you’re okay."

After hanging up the phone, Su Li heard Feng Huaijin’s intriguing laughter: "President Su, you’re indeed sharper than other women, some things you don’t even tell your best friend."

Su Li swatted away Feng Huaijin’s extended hand and said irritably, "You’re hiding things from me, pretending to be Feng Ciye to congratulate Mr. Gao on his concert, can I tell others that?"

Of course, I can only say I left with Feng Ciye!

At least she was sharp enough to figure that out.

The car drove to a five-star hotel under the Ao Shi Group. Feng Huaijin took Su Li to the top-floor suite where he had been staying for the past few days.

Su Li was helped by him to sit on a small sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window. She clicked her tongue twice and said, "Mr. Qi, you’re living comfortably, why not stay at home instead of a hotel?"

Feng Huaijin sat down beside Su Li, crossed his slender legs, and laughed softly, "What’s wrong? Are you saying you can’t sleep at night without someone to hold you?"

Su Li’s ears turned hot as she kicked his strong waist and scolded, "Are you still joking with me about this? What exactly are you doing?"

Feng Huaijin did not answer. Su Li furrowed her brows lightly and said, "You replaced Feng Ciye today to congratulate our mutual friend Gao Wei on hosting his solo concert, so that means... the one attending the auction in Japan is Fourth Young Master? It’s Feng Ciye, isn’t it?"

"He went to the auction in your name, and you stayed in Hua Country in his name?"

As Su Li spoke, she could feel a hand gently stroking her soft hair, a kiss fell on her forehead.

"Su Li isn’t dumb beyond belief. Yes, Feng Ciye went to Japan for the auction for me, and I stayed in the country."

Su Li couldn’t quite understand why Feng Huaijin did this, "Then why did you have to hide it from me?"

Feng Huaijin pinched her face, smirked, and asked back, "Because I’m also curious about how the richest woman in Hua Country lives without a man. Is the Research Institute fun?"

Su Li: "..."

Dammit, Feng Huaijin indeed knew.

She thought she could hide it from Feng Huaijin, but everything was under his control.

Su Li hugged her legs and mumbled, "I didn’t do much, just chatted with Professor Tang Lide and guided him to a proper research direction."

"I’m contributing to the national research."

When Su Li heard Feng Huaijin’s knowing laughter, her scalp tingled even more.

It’s really tough.

Su Li didn’t want to discuss her sneaking into the Research Institute with Feng Huaijin. She tugged at his sleeve and said, "You deliberately set up this drama, what exactly do you want to do?"

Feng Huaijin instead gently held Su Li’s hand, restrained the amusement in his eyes, and seriously said, "I didn’t design this drama, someone else set this trap, waiting for us to jump in!"

Su Li shuddered and vaguely understood Feng Huaijin’s meaning.

Talking to smart people doesn’t always need to be explicit; they can understand each other.

Su Li gently bit her lips and said, "You mean... everything from Xu Xing failing to find that Winter Love Grass, to the sudden auction announcement in Japan, is a trap. The purpose is..."

Su Li paused: "The purpose is to lure you out of the country?"
