    Chapter 636


    “Huh?” Han’s eyes widened in surprise.


    What did Ceci mean by that question?


    Was she trying to suggest a romantic connection between him and Mimi?


    “Quit ying games. Mimi is drop–dead gorgeous with a killer body and treats you well. Not to mention,


    you two were high school buddies. Have you never felt any attraction toward Mimi?” Ceci’s curiosity


    burned in her gaze as she looked at Han.


    The love for beauty resided within every heart!


    To speak candidly, having known Mia for a considerable time, she had developed a profound


    understanding of her.

    Despite being a woman herself, there were numerous asions when she couldn’t deny the stirring of


    romantic feelings toward Mia.


    She was undeniably a stunning beauty, a true enchantress!


    Yet, to her surprise, Han seemed entirely unaffected by Mia’s presence.


    This was highly unusual and perplexing!


    “Well, just because we were ssmates doesn’t mean I have to be infatuated,” Han remarked


    coolly.


    He had crossed paths with many beautiful women, not merely in the thousands but perhaps even tens


    of thousands. His encounters with countless women had forged within him a formidable heart.


    Therefore, what might be considered goddesses in the eyes of many, were nothing more than


    individuals with a modest level of attractiveness in his perspective.


    Powered by his resolute heart, he wasn’t one to be easily stirred, let alone sumb to infatuation at


    the drop of a hat.


    “No way! Are you telling me you haven’t felt a hint of attraction?” Ceci’s eyes bore a perplexed


    expression as she carefully observed Han.


    “Not in the slightest,” Han repliedposedly, calmly continuing to savor his food.


    Ceci’s expression grew even more perplexed as she looked at Han. “Mr. Jaber, you’re not gay, are


    you?”


    Han, caught off guard by the question, felt a wave of sweat forming on his forehead.


    Damn it all!


    What thoughts upy the minds of these celebrities?


    Just because he didn’t feel attracted to Mia, why would she conclude that he was gay?


    “No way! Mr. Jaber, you can’t possibly be gay, can you?” Ceci stared at Han intently as if she had


    stumbled upon an astonishing revtion.


    Han lifted his gaze and fixed Ceci with a piercing stare. “So, you think I’m gay? Care to put that


    theory to the test?”


    “Wow, you’re willing to try? Well, I refuse to believe that a gay like you can do anything to me.”


    Ceci smirked, taking a seat beside Han. She held her head high, chest puffed out, and confidently


    challenged him. “Come on then!”


    Amid their conversation, she grabbed Han’s hand, extending it toward her chest.


    Han’s eyebrows knitted together slightly, and he promptly pulled his hand back. “What are you


    doing?”


    “Of course, I’m just testing you.”


    Ceci’sughter grew more joyful. “You’re too cautious even toy a finger on my body. It looks like


    you’re truly one of those legendary men.”


    “I believe in maintaining appropriate boundaries between men and women,” Han responded, giving


    her a slight re.


    “Oh, so now you’re talking about boundaries? When you were helping me with my treatment, you


    touched everything. I don’t recall you mentioning any concerns then.”


    “At that time, I was solely focused on providing medical treatment. I was your doctor, and you were my


    patient. There was no ulterior motive.


    Han savoring a piece of sweet and sour pork, added, “Now that you have recovered and we are no


    longer in a doctor–patient rtionship, we can rte to each other as regr men and women.”


    “But if I were to make any unwarranted advances now, that would be crossing a line!”


    “I, Han, am a man of integrity and honor. How could I stoop to such actions?”


    “Miss Lawson, is this the impression you have of me? Is this truly how you see me?”


    His words resounded with determination and rity.


    Ceci found herself at a loss for words,pletely taken aback by the forceful sincerity in Han’s


    response.


    Could this indeed be Han’s authentic stance?


    Had she misjudged Hnd entirely?


    Was Han truly not gay?


    “In simple terms, I, Han, am a man of principles and integrity. Whether it’s a woman in my life or a


    patient in my care, I would never exploit or take advantage of anyone,” Han proimed with


    unwavering determination.


    “So you’re saying that you have no intention of taking advantage of me?” Ceci queried.


    Han cast a nce at her while enjoying his meal. “Why would I ever want to take advantage of


    you?”


    With that statement, he turned his attention away from Ceci, focusing again on savoring his food.


    Ceci was instantly filled with deep disappointment and a sense of defeat upon hearing Han’s words,


    her heart heavy with discouragement.


    She was the reigning queen of a prominent film and televisionpany, no doubt about it!


    Wealthy scions and ambitious young talents would queue up to win her affection, even extending their


    pursuit across borders. Yet, here she was, feeling exposed in front of Han, who imed he hadn’t


    taken advantage of her and professed no romantic interest.


    It left her feeling like she had lost all her allure, causing her to question her beauty and figure. A wave


    of self–doubt washed over her, eroding her confidence.


    Could it be that she genuinelycked any allure, leaving Han unaffected?


    She observed Han, engrossed in his meal, then nced at her figure before turning her attention to


    Mia elegantly swimming in the pool. A slight frown appeared as she pondered, “This doesn’t make


    sense.”


    “Although my physique may not possess the same dominance as Mimi’s, it is certainly notcking. My


    presence usually enchants men, so why does he show no interest?”


    “This doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t!”


    “I’ve figured it out. Han is undoubtedly gay. His exaggerated disy of righteousness and


    steadfastness must be a cover-up for hisck of interest in women!”


    “Yes, that’s it!”


    The more Ceci contemted, the more convinced she became that her spection was correct.


    Han must indeedck interest in women.


    After all, if a gorgeous woman like herself were to strip naked and stand before Han, how could he


    possibly remain unaffected?


    Her certainty deepened, but she hesitated to probe further since Han hadn’t broached the topic.


    Instead, she shifted the conversation. “Speaking of which, did Nichs stop by earlier?”


    Though she had just experienced a bout of exhaustion, gasping for breath and struggling to keep her


    eyes open, Ceci’s hearing remained acute. She caught the sound of gunshots and Nichs’s enraged


    shouts.


    Han nodded in confirmation.


    Ceci’s expression turned solemn as she focused on the locked door. “Nichs is my most sincere


    suitor, without a doubt. He also hails from a wealthy and influential family, the Bet family, one of the


    top ten aristocratic families of Ulinas.”


    “He possesses a ruthless and vindictive character. If anyone defies him, he will stop at nothing for


    vengeance.”


    “Mr. Jaber, this situation is my doing. You don’t have to shoulder the responsibility. I’ll go and confront


    Nichs to resolve it.”


    “Don’t go,” Han stated with a calm tone.


    “If I don’t go, he’ll hold a grudge against you and Mimi,” Ceci stated.


    “Even if you go, he won’t heed your words,” Han responded, his expression calm as he continued


    eating.


    “Regardless of whether he listens, this situation is my responsibility. I must handle it myself to prevent it


    from affecting you both,” Ceci asserted.


    Han gazed at Ceci, a hint of surprise shing in his eyes.


    Who would have thought that Ceci possessed such loyalty and integrity?


    However, knowing Nichs’s character, he was confident he wouldn’t easily let Ceci off the hook.


    If Ceci were to venture and plead with Nichs, it would be akin to throwing herself into the lion’s den


    with little hope of escape.


    “Help! My foot is cramping!”


    Just as Han was about to offer his advice and dissuade Ceci, a cry for help echoed from Mia’s


    swimming pool.
