He exhausted all his self-control to suppress his lust, then took a deep breath and helped her get dressed. His fingertips nearly failed him again as they grazed her thighs.
Damn it!
The man extended his index finger to her lips, his voice husky, âIâll let you go just for today⦠I donât care if youâre still thinking about someone else, but remember this, youâre going to be mine sooner or later!â
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.
âPhone?â 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, âSu Zixi, you better behave. If you donât answer my calls in time again, Iâll have no choice but to keep you tied by my side.â
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 Jingyaoâs nameâ¦
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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
A smile finally appeared on the manâs face, and he hummed lightly, âAt least you know whatâs good for you.â
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 didnât know how much longer she could hold out⦠Perhaps it wouldnât be long before she uncontrollably fell in love with him.
With that thought, Su Zixi couldnât help but lift her head to gaze at the manâs 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 couldnât allow her any more chances to interact with other men; it would be best to keep her tied to his sideâ¦
âLetâs go, Iâll take you to the hotel,â 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, âDonât blame me, brother, for interrupting you, but this is a hospital after all, and I am the director.â
Su Zixi, flushed with shame, buried her head low. He Jingyao gave Huo Yanzhao a cold glance, âAs if you havenât caused any trouble in the hospital.â
Huo Yanzhao smiled gracefully, âTrue, but Xuefei and I are a legitimate couple.â
He Jingyao narrowed his eyes. Ever since that man got married, he never stopped flaunting his love, which was truly detestable.
