Su Zixi was startled for a moment before she quickly nodded her head, a bit embarrassed, âYou donât need to ask for my permission for this kind of thingâ¦â
He Jingyao gave a light smile and tossed over a business card, âTomorrow at noon, Iâll give you ten minutes.â
Ning Ruixin caught it with her bare hands, glanced at the number, and didnât take issue with He Jingyaoâs arrogant attitude. She nodded with a smiling face, âAlright. Now, can you let my people go?â
âIâll wait until Iâm sure my wife is unharmed,â He Jingyao replied coolly, lowering his head to pull Su Zixi closer by the waist with a slight smile, âLetâs go back.â
Su Zixi was about to nod when she suddenly saw Ning Yichen step out of the house. She couldnât help but speak up, âWait a second.â
âHmm?â He Jingyao was slightly displeased.
Su Zixi flashed him a smile, âI have something I need to deal with first.â
Having said that, she left his embrace and walked step by step toward Ning Yichen.
Ever since He Jingyao appeared, Ning Yichenâs complexion had looked terrible. Reality seemed to have slapped him hard. He thought that even though Su Zixi had married He Jingyao, there would definitely be an emotional distance between them. However, when he saw this man arrive, her face showed pure excitement and trust.
And He Jingyao⦠seemed to truly like this woman. He was a man too, so he could see very clearly whether He Jingyao was sincere or not.
It now seemed that some of his past viewpoints were nothing but wishful thinking and presumption.
Yet, as Su Zixi approached him step by step, he couldnât help but feel a flicker of hope rise in his heart, perhapsâ¦
âMr. Ning.â Su Zixi finally spoke up, her voice very calm, âI donât know what I did to cause you any misunderstandings. However, itâs necessary for me to clarify something seriously in front of my husband and your sister, to you, you are simply Su Lianxiâs fiancé. I wish you and Lianxi well, but I hope you donât make malicious speculations about others in the future. If I were really a scheming woman, intent on marrying into a wealthy family, then now that Iâm Jingyaoâs wife, thereâs even less reason for me to have any feelings toward you. Do you think a shrewd scheming woman would do something so counterproductive?â
Her demeanor was calm, her smile faint, but each word seemed to carry immense destructive power, making Ning Yichenâs complexion lose all its color.
âI really like my husband, to me, he is the best person in this world,â Su Zixi said, her voice slightly choking up, âI once thought that as long as I was willing to give, I would surely receive in return, but thatâs not the case. The person who truly loves me gave me more warmth than I could ask for without needing anything from me. So, you can insult me, but please donât insult my husband. He never cares about these petty matters, but I donât want to hear any meaningless speculation. In my heart, he is strong, wise, and incomparable to anyone else.â
Ning Yichen clenched his fists tightly, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, yet in the end, he remained silent.
âNow Iâve broken ties with the Su family, and legally, I have no relation to Su Lianxi. So, strictly speaking, I have no relation to you either. I sincerely hope we never meet again.â
After finishing, she didnât look at Ning Yichenâs ashen face. She turned and walked toward He Jingyao.@@novelbin@@
He stood there, tall and distinguished, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, his gaze calmly resting on her, his eyes filled with an indissoluble tenderness and indulgence.
