Thank you!

The moment the car drove away, 'Xin Mei' moved away from Han Xiyuan's embrace and hid in the corner of the car while covering her injured self protectively.

Han Xiyuan glanced at her as if the women who begged him to take responsibility was just an illusion. He couldn't help but be curious about her situation and he asked it directly, "What happened back there?"

She didn't expect him to ask such question but she didn't want to lie. A lie was the reason that she suffered so much and since she learnt her lesson, she decided to be honest. She understood the question but didn't know how to reply in Mandarin and therefore she replied in English, "Xin Siyue wanted to shut me up and make sure that I don't stand in her way to success. Also, property deeds are in Xin Mei's name. So, they wanted to keep me alive but in their clutches. The Xin family wanted to disable me."

"You said Xin Mei's name. Are you Xin Mei?" Han Xiyuan asked back in English with heavy American accent evident in his speech.

She looked at him with unfathomable eyes and then smiled at him, "I am not Xin Mei!"

"Then who are you?" He asked her back with obvious interest shining in his gleaming hazel eyes.

"I am Lalisa!" She introduced himself to him in Chinese with a beautiful smile on her peerless face, attracting the attention of all the three men in the car.

"Lalisa? Then why was she calling you Xin Mei? Who is she?" Not only Han Xiyuan was interested in knowing this, even Rong Xiu and Xiao Yu were very curious to know the answer.

"Xin Mei is Xin Siyue's half-sister and daughter of Xin Zhaowen and Anna. She was sent to Europe to live in abroad with a maid when she was just a child. We were the same age. Though I was younger than her by few months. Xin Zhaowen's current wife, Lu Meili, planned to kill her when she was thirteen and she succeeded. At that time, I was also heavily injured and I needed a cover for my own protection. So, I became Xin Mei in the eyes of Xin family." Lalisa said in English with a soft smile.

"You are not Chinese?" Han Xiyuan asked her curiously seeing her butchering Chinese and talking in British English.

"Annyeonghaseyo! Sah wah dee kha! Bonjour!" Lalisa replied mischievously as spoke in three different languages.

"Korean, Thai and French?" Han Xiyuan asked her amused.

"My Mom is half Korean and Thai. My Dad is French." Lalisa replied seeing him understanding what she said. He really was the genius that everyone admired. During this conversation, Lalisa didn't know how but she conversed with him easily and casually forgetting all the negative emotions she experienced in the last hour.

When they arrived at the hospital, Lalisa acted very cooperative and let them do checks on her.

The doctor said that there was nothing wrong with her body but she had a small concussion on her head. And she also had severe skin injury and therefore, the doctor wanted her hospitalized.

"You have a very large skin injury. I am going to clean in apply medicine, and it is going to hurt a lot. Please bear with it." He said to which Lalisa understood the basic context and nod her head affirmatively.

The doctor dipped the cotton swab in the medicine and applied it to her would. Lalisa didn't even flinch at his actions and also was so silent without any trace of distressed expression. Both Han Xiyuan and the doctor was surprised by this.

Han Xiyuan was completely shocked and surprised. Being the king of entertainment industry, he has seen countless women. Who among them didn't act weak and pitiful in front of him? With a small injury, they will want to throw themselves at him for comfort. But here she was, injured to such extent, and didn't even frown or flinch. She acted as if the injury wasn't hers but someone else and she was just a bystander.

Though he wouldn't be surprised if he knew the things she experienced in her previous life. This minor injury was nothing compared to being burnt alive with limbs broken.

Han Xiyuan's eyes visibly softened looking at the woman in front of him. He felt as if someone just caressed his heart with a soft feather.

Once the doctor left the place, Lalisa raised her head and looked at Han Xiyuan, who was sitting on the chair beside the bed and bowed at him, "Young Master Han, Thank you!"

"Lalisa." Han Xiyuan looked at her deeply and understood that she didn't want to continue any kinds of connection with him. He understood this based on her tenacity in enduring the pain and the complicated emotions passing through her when Xin Siyue was there and laughed in a low voice and asked her, "I am expensive. How are you going to thank me?"

She was the first woman who he was interested in. She offered herself to the wolf. He would be a fool to leave such a woman.

Lalisa was stunned when she saw his smile.

The man's smile was way too charming!

She never saw him with a smile but with a cold stoic face. But this smile was enough to melt the cold ice and the bloom the sleeping flowers as if its spring.

Though she lost her composure, she remembered what he asked. But there was nothing she could ask. Her purse and phone was in the car and there's no way she's returning to that God forsaken place. She'd rather report her passport and card stolen to get a new one.

"Young Master Han, there's nothing on me that you'd take fancy on. I have no money or anything. Other than saying thank you, I am really powerless." Lalisa said with an embarrassed smile.

Han Xiyuan looked at her deeply and said, "You want to just leave with a useless thank you after using me? Dream on!"

He looked at her deeply. Lalisa didn't even think that he was interested in her. With his status and looks, he could have any kind of woman. Why would he go for her?

Therefore with a burst of bravery that came out of nowhere, she smiled at him fearlessly and said, "I really don't have anything."

Han Xiyuan suddenly got up from the chair and bet down towards her. He slowly brought his handsome face closer to hers. She could even feel his hot breath and cool mint manly scent over him that she very much began to love.

Lalisa gritted her teeth and smiled at him fearlessly, not daring to move, and completely believing that he wouldn't do anything to her. She was so sure that the man in front of her knew his limits and won't touch her.
