So, He Jingyao looked deeply into her eyes and said, âCome here.â
His voice was low and alluring.
Su Zixiâs teeth chattered as she stiffly took a step forward.
âCome here, Iâm not going to eat you!â He Jingyao frowned slightly. He rarely interacted with women, were they all this hesitant?
Su Zixi took a deep breath, resigned to her fate. With so many bodyguards around, she had no chance of escaping anyway.
With that thought, she took one step at a time towards He Jingyao.
âA little closer.â He Jingyaoâs voice turned hoarse.
She had no choice but to take two more steps forward. She was now close enough to touch his face with an outstretched hand.
He Jingyao took a deep breath in.
There was no nauseating smell, instead, there was a refreshing fragrance, faint and enticing, making his heart itch.
Su Zixiâs heart skipped a beat when she saw the manâs intense gaze.
âMr. He, last night I didnât do it on purpose, Iâm sorry.â She decisively chose to apologize first.
But to her surprise, the manâs expression suddenly changed. He abruptly stood up from the sofa!
Su Zixi then realized how tall the man was; her 165 cm height barely reached his shoulder.
Seeing him stand up, Su Zixi thought he was going to hit her and was so scared she nearly fell to the ground!
Instead, the man cupped her face in his hands!
âWhy is there a handprint on your face? Who hit you?â He Jingyao asked with a displeased knit of his brows.
Su Zixi was startled. So he stood up suddenly because he saw the handprint on her face?
He Jingyao turned his gaze to Su Guoâan and Lin Shuyue: âWas it them?â
Seeing He Jingyao targeting him, Su Guoâan nervously said, âMr. He, my daughter was being unruly, I was just⦠just disciplining her a bit.â
âWho allowed you to touch my woman?â He Jingyao said coldly.
What! His woman?
Su Zixi was stunned, and so was Su Guoâan!
âMr. He, last night⦠last night my daughterâ¦â
âLast night she was with me,â He Jingyao said with a smirk, âIs there a problem with that?â
Su Guoâan drew a sharp breath!
Lin Shuyue screamed in disbelief, âThatâs impossible!â
Su Guoâan was immediately filled with doubt, âShuyue, what do you know?â
Lin Shuyue shrank back and shook her head, remaining silent. According to Lianxiâs plan, the man who was supposed to be with Su Zixi last night was an unsavory character, not the famous young master of the He Family!
He Jingyao had no interest in their internal conflict. He cupped Su Zixiâs face, looking at the clear handprint on her cheek, his expression grew darker and darker.
Su Zixi stared blankly at his angry face, feeling a sudden warmth in her heart.
âLetâs go, Iâll take you to see a doctor.â Saying that, he turned and instructed the elder man, âUncle Li, stay here and handle this.â
âYes, young master,â Uncle Li responded flatly, âWhat about the Su Family?â
âLet them go for now, Iâll deal with them later when I have time.â He left this remark and gave Su Guoâan a light glance.
Su Guoâan immediately broke into a cold sweat!
He Jingyao grabbed Su Zixiâs hand and led her outside. His long legs took big strides, and Su Zixi, already weak in the knees, stumbled and nearly fell trying to keep up!
He Jingyao stopped and looked back at her.
Su Zixi thought he was annoyed at her slow pace and stammered, âIâm⦠Iâm a bit tiredâ¦â
In the next second, the world spun around her. When she came to, she was already in He Jingyaoâs arms.
The man seemed to chuckle softly, âSorry, I forgot you must be sore and exhausted right now.â
Su Zixiâs entire body tensed up! The manâs strong presence overwhelmed her, leaving her incapable of any coherent thought.
