Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Where Did You Go Last Night?

He Jingyao’s gaze suddenly darkened.

“Why have you changed your mind so suddenly?” his voice was slightly hoarse.

“There’s no particular reason, I just feel it’s inappropriate…” Su Zixi fumbled with the tablecloth, not daring to meet his gaze.

He Jingyao’s lips curled up coldly, “Is it to avoid me?”

Su Zixi didn’t speak, which was as good as an admission.

He Jingyao’s hands suddenly tightened, but his voice remained calm, “Because of Ning Yichen?”

Su Zixi was startled, quickly shaking her head, “Of course not! I just think that it’s not suitable for us to have too many interactions…”

“Not because of him?” he narrowed his eyes slightly, “Then where were you last night?”

A sudden thud hit Su Zixi’s heart.

She suddenly remembered that she had bumped into Dr. Huo, He Jingyao’s friend, at the hospital yesterday, so it wasn’t surprising that He Jingyao knew about it…

“I…I did go to visit him, after all, his injuries were because of me…” Su Zixi couldn’t help but explain, “But that has nothing to do with what I want to talk to you about today…”

He Jingyao smiled slightly, but his eyes were ice-cold.

He took Su Zixi’s hand that was on the table, tightening his grip bit by bit, his voice hoarse yet gentle, “Since it has nothing to do with him, then who does it have to do with?”

Su Zixi tried to retract her hand but failed, “In any case… I just can’t see you anymore!”

He Jingyao’s lips tightened, and his dark eyes locked firmly on her.

The woman looked exceptionally beautiful today, with delicate features and pink lipstick on her lips, radiantly tempting one to bite.

Such meticulous grooming, it was unclear who it was for.

If it was to meet him, she had no reason to suddenly say such things.

He Jingyao frowned slightly and gestured to his assistant waiting at the door.

“President.” The person immediately came over to wait for instructions.

“When you went to pick up Miss Su, did you see anyone else?”

After a moment of thought, he said, “From a distance, I saw Miss Xia seemed to exchange a few words with Miss Su.”

Xia Xinyu?

He Jingyao could never have imagined it was this woman causing trouble! Who gave her the courage to play tricks, even involving his own people?

His eyes immediately sharpened, looking at Su Zixi, “Because of that woman?”

Su Zixi bit her lip, which amounted to acknowledgment.

“You suddenly said yesterday that you wanted to make a clean break with me, was it also because of what she said to you, wasn’t it?” He Jingyao pressed.

Su Zixi couldn’t help but say, “It has nothing to do with her, this is my own decision!”

Having said that, she even lifted her head, her eyes burning with determination as she stared at him.

He Jingyao laughed in anger.

This woman had been fooled and yet she still spoke in defense of the other party, should he call her naive or foolish!

However, as long as she wasn’t making a quick break to reconcile with Ning Yichen, then everything was negotiable.

“What did she say to you?” He Jingyao stared unblinkingly at her small face.

“She said, she didn’t oppose our interactions…” Overwhelmed by the man’s presence, Su Zixi ended up confessing, “Even though she likes you very much, to avoid making you angry, she can only suffer in silence…”

“She didn’t oppose our interactions?” He Jingyao repeated the phrase mockingly, “Where does she get the right to oppose?”

Su Zixi looked up in surprise.

“Did she tell you what she is to me?” He Jingyao’s tone was deep.

“Uh… she said she’s your fiancée…” Su Zixi spoke hesitantly.
