However, what he saw was a sorrowful face.
She was crying silently, tears covering her cheeks.
The anger in his heart had almost imperceptibly dissipated as He Jingyao resignedly wiped her tears away, âSu Zixi, you really areâ¦â
He had never known women to be such troublesome creatures.
Yet, irresistibly so.
Su Zixi flinched away from his fingers, eyes cast down: âIâm sorry, Iâm sorry⦠I didnât mean toâ¦â
She had always tried to tell herself it was nothing serious, that she didnât need to care.
But she couldnât fool herself; she did care, and damn it, she cared a lot.
Just a moment ago, she had suddenly understood the reason.
She damn cared, only because⦠she had already fallen in love with this man.
Su Zixi couldnât recall when it had started, but she couldnât deny the fact that she loved him, and her feelings were much deeper than she had thought. Without realizing it, he had almost become her entire world, her earnest excuses, her every desireâ¦
Thatâs why she was afraid, thatâs why she cared⦠Thatâs why she couldnât bear the fact that in his eyes she was just an object to satisfy his desires.
Perhaps he liked her too, but what he probably loved more was her body⦠From the first day they met, he had never hidden his desire for her bodyâ¦
So, when she disappointed him, that must have been why he was so angry⦠Su Zixi thought with a bitter smile.
How she wished she could be enough, if that was her only purpose; then what right did she have to be affected? But she couldnât lie to her heart.
He Jingyao looked into her vacant eyes, and asked with suppression, âSu Zixi, what exactly is going on?â
She trembled slightly, suddenly looking into his eyes.
âJingyao, I have asked you many times, why meâ¦â she mustered the courage to ask, âCan you answer me once more?â
He Jingyao paused, then suddenly his gaze deepened.@@novelbin@@
He suddenly gripped her chin, asking softly, âYou know, donât you? Did He Yizheng tell you?â
Su Zixiâs heart sank gradually, she murmured softly, âSo, everything he said was true, right?â
He Jingyao looked at her, his dark eyes seemingly void of emotion.
âYes, everything he said is true.â He said word by word, âSu Zixi, you are the only woman in the world that I can touch. So?â
Soâ¦
So, is it just my body you want?
But she couldnât ask this question.
It seemed like he had indeed never said anything resembling a confession to her.
His desire had always been very straightforward from the beginning.
âIâm sorryâ¦â she could only murmur these three words, âIâm sorry, I let you downâ¦â
He Jingyao silently observed her for a long while, then suddenly started to laugh, âSo, you think Iâm only with you to sleep with you?â
Su Zixi trembled slightly and did not speak, which was as good as an admission.
He Jingyao pondered for a long while, smiling again, âActually, you arenât wrong to think so. I canât deny my desire for you; as for anything else, you might not believe it even if I told you.â
Su Zixi stared at him blankly.
He Jingyaoâs expression was unusually cold, his gaze almost void of any emotion; she had never seen him so indifferent before.
