Chapter 62: Smart Move
Damn it!
The man extended his index finger to her lips, his voice husky, “I’ll let you go just for today… I don’t care if you’re still thinking about someone else, but remember this, you’re going to be mine sooner or later!”
The husky and seductive voice hit her ears, and Su Zixi felt her already tender body become even more numb.
Her lips quivered as she seemed to want to protest something, but her body was too weak to comply.
No matter what, she had escaped a catastrophe today.Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
“Phone?” he asked.
Su Zixi dully fumbled in her pocket and handed her phone to him.
He Jingyao captured her thumb and pressed it on the home button for the fingerprint recognition, unlocking the screen. He opened the call log and saved the missed number under his own name, then handed the phone back to her with a warning glance, “Su Zixi, you better behave. If you don’t answer my calls in time again, I’ll have no choice but to keep you tied by my side.”
Su Zixi shivered and quickly took the phone and nodded.
She glanced at the call log; the long list of missed calls had all changed to He Jingyao’s name…
So, the person who had been calling her was him?
Su Zixi felt a slight shock in her heart, unable to describe her feelings… she could only subconsciously clench the phone in her hand.
He Jingyao had already stood up, casually straightening his slightly disheveled shirt, then reached out a hand to Su Zixi.
Su Zixi hesitated for a moment, but eventually placed her trembling hand in his palm.
A smile finally appeared on the man’s face, and he hummed lightly, “At least you know what’s good for you.”
With a mournful face, Su Zixi knew that all her efforts today had been in vain. This man was He Jingyao, and if he refused to let go, what could she possibly do to avoid him?
But this man already had a fiancée, and each meeting with He Jingyao was filled with ambiguity and passion… She felt overwhelmed with a strong sense of guilt.
Perhaps He Jingyao never took that engagement seriously to begin with. But for her, it meant something different.
She felt extremely conflicted in her heart. Moreover, facing He Jingyao, she didn’t know how much longer she could hold out… Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before she uncontrollably fell in love with him.
With that thought, Su Zixi couldn’t help but lift her head to gaze at the man’s profile.
He Jingyao seemed to sense her stare and turned his head to meet her gaze, causing Su Zixi to quickly avert her eyes as if caught in a misdeed.
What He Jingyao was thinking, though, was that he couldn’t allow her any more chances to interact with other men; it would be best to keep her tied to his side…
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to the hotel,” he said, his eyes flashing as he led her out.
Outside the door, Huo Yanzhao stood expressionlessly with his hands in his overcoat pockets.
Seeing the two finally come out, his gaze hardened with a mocking smile, “Don’t blame me, brother, for interrupting you, but this is a hospital after all, and I am the director.”
Su Zixi, flushed with shame, buried her head low. He Jingyao gave Huo Yanzhao a cold glance, “As if you haven’t caused any trouble in the hospital.”
Huo Yanzhao smiled gracefully, “True, but Xuefei and I are a legitimate couple.”
He Jingyao narrowed his eyes. Ever since that man got married, he never stopped flaunting his love, which was truly detestable.
