âIâm the boss, and Iâm ordering you to get off work now,â He Jingyao glanced at her lightly.
Su Zixi was immediately infuriated.
âPut me down!â she glared at him.
The man chuckled, loosening his arm so she could stand on the ground. Unfortunately, Su Zixi was so weakened by his handling that her legs gave way and she collapsed back into his arms!
As the scent of delicate jade filled his arms again, He Jingyaoâs smile grew even gentler, âIt seems youâre not feeling well?â
Su Zixi was dying of mortification, âHe Jingyao!â
âHmm, I understand,â he said, looking completely aware as he scooped her up horizontally and carried her out of the office.
Su Zixiâs tears streamed down her face.
Although she had long known this manâs shamelessness, each time, he managed to exceed her expectations.
She always felt⦠if he took her straight home, she would be doomed tonight!
Su Zixi felt a tremendous sense of crisis.
Fortunately, along the way, He Jingyao, probably not wanting to scare her, didnât make any more moves but asked her about some work-related matters.
âOh, weâve started writing the detailed proposal already, it should be completed in a week at most,â Su Zixiâs eyes lit up as she talked about her work.
âHmm, not bad,â He Jingyao smiled slightly, approvingly patting her head.
Su Zixi was pleased, âI have a lot of confidence in this app now, everyone says my ideas are good, but Iâm not sure if the tech department can pull it offâ¦â
She frowned as she spoke.
âNo worries, donât be afraid they canât do it,â He Jingyao curled his lips, âIf they canât, it means they lack the capability, HI doesnât nurture the incompetent.â
Su Zixiâs face turned pale with fright, âThen⦠what if our product failsâ¦â
âOh, youâre the exception,â He Jingyao said softly, âDonât worry, just go ahead with whatever you want to do.â
Su Zixi was moved, looking at his doting eyes, suddenly feeling as if her emotions were about to overflow.
âJingyao, you donât have to be so good to me, nor do you need to give me special treatment, Iâ¦â she hesitated for a moment, then firmly said, âI wonât let you down!â
âHmm, I believe,â looking into her determined eyes, the manâs gaze softened even more.
He liked her naive and conflicted manner, as well as her confident demeanor.
Anyway, he found everything about her delightful!
Inspired, Su Zixiâs emotions surged even more.@@novelbin@@
Ever since meeting He Jingyao, she had received so much warmth and pampering that after her motherâs death, she thought she would never again be looked at with such tender eyes.
But now, a massive sense of happiness suddenly enveloped her.
She suddenly realized that she too was worthy of love. Remembering her past self, cautiously giving everything in hope of a little warmth, she suddenly felt like crying.
But she had no regrets, perhaps it was precisely because of this that Mr. He appeared out of nowhere.
âJingyao, Iâ¦â she suddenly choked up, âThank you.â
âReally?â He Jingyaoâs gaze darkened slightly, âIf you really want to thank me, shouldnât you show some appreciation?â
Meeting his meaningful gaze, Su Zixi got the message instantly!
Any trace of emotion was swept away instantly, as she quickly dodged to the side, her gaze wary: âNo appreciation, just like this!â
At that moment, the car arrived at Hades Manor.
He Jingyao chuckled, stretching his hand towards her with a low, seductive voice: âCome here.â
