So, with a sincere face, she said, âBecause heâs your second uncle, I thought he must be at least forty years old, so I was a bit surprised. As for anything else, I didnât notice.â
After saying this, she earnestly nodded her head to add credibility.
He Jingyao was increasingly satisfied. He knew his uncle was a lady-killer with debts of love flying all over. Lucky for him, his wife was clear-headed enough.
He couldnât help but scoop her into his arms and bite her earlobe.
Su Zixi inhaled sharply! She was so annoyed she almost rolled her eyes! If she had known kowtowing would make him this happy, she would never have tried to please him!
âIâve had them put an extra desk in here, from now on youâll work with me,â He Jingyao said in a hoarse voice, laden with heavy restraint.
âNo way!â Su Zixi shook her head warily, âI⦠I definitely need to discuss and consult with my colleagues. Itâs so inconvenient to work in your office!â
He Jingyao frowned slightly, suddenly regretting why he had her take charge of that project in the first place. Why didnât he just make her his personal secretary?
âIsnât it okay to discuss online?â he said dissatisfied.
âItâs not as fast as discussing in person,â Su Zixi argued logically, âAnd your office must have visitors often, right? Itâs so inconvenient for me to be here, and it might even affect your work!â
âDonât worry, my work efficiency will only increase with you here.â
He wanted to finish work early so he could hold his wife and do some intimate things⦠He Jingyaoâs gaze flickered.
In her urgency, Su Zixi suddenly had a brainwave, âBut it will disturb me! I am determined to achieve something!â
He Jingyao frowned unhappily, giving her a deep look.
Su Zixi put on an unyielding stance.
He scoffed lightly, and, in what felt like retaliation, bit her lip again! After tormenting her until she was panting, he placed his hand on her lips, his husky voice now threatening, âI can agree to that. However, you must report your work progress to me directly! So, you have to come and find me at least twice a day!â
Su Zixi nodded with tears in her eyes.
Only then did He Jingyao show a trace of satisfaction, intending to continue teasing her when suddenly his phone on the desk rang.
He picked up the phone, looked at the screen, his brow furrowed slightly, and then he swiped to answer.
Taking advantage of this, Su Zixi escaped from his embrace, so she didnât hear the contents of the call, but whatever was said on the other end, He Jingyaoâs face suddenly darkened, his deep black pupils fiercely contracted, clearly enraged!
Su Zixi had known him for so long, yet this was the first time sheâd seen such a terrifying expression on his face! She couldnât help but shrink her neck, feeling as though the temperature in the office had dropped several degrees.
He Jingyao sneered and after saying âI knowâ he hung up the phone.
Thatâs when Su Zixi moved in closer and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
He Jingyaoâs gaze fell upon her face and then softened, âGo to HR and go through the procedure first, Iâll have Adam take you.â
âAre you going out?â Su Zixi noticed as he adjusted his tie.
âHmm,â the man responded indifferently, âIâll be right back.â
âWhat happened?â Su Zixi couldnât help but ask.
âNothing,â He Jingyao laughed, tousling her hair, âLetâs have lunch together at noon.â
