Finally freed from the shackles of this man, Su Zixi lightly coughed and said seriously, âIf you trust me, then Iâll continue to take responsibility for this project. However, I need you to initiate the project first so that I can ask for leave from school.â
He Jingyao placed one hand on the desk, tapping lightly, his gaze freely landing on her exposed thighs.
Aggravated, Su Zixi tugged her skirt down, âAre you even listening to me?â
The man laughed out loud. Her serious demeanor made her even more alluring.
âFine, letâs do that,â he responded in a deep voice.
Su Zixi breathed a sigh of relief, âThen Iâll head back to class now, goodbye.â
Having said that, she hastily picked up her bag and rushed out.
He Jingyao did not stop her, merely watching her rabbit-like departing figure with a hint of indulgent amusement in his eyes.
However, thinking of his own little problem⦠he couldnât help but clench his fist in suppressed irritation!
Dammit!
He took a deep breath, struggling to suppress his desire, then made a phone call.
âTell Mr. Qi to release the photos, make the issue bigger.â
******
HI Corporation.
All the way, Xia Xinyu greeted her colleagues with a smile that never faded from her face until she pushed open the door to her office.
Xia Xinyu hung her bag on the rack and, removing her coat, headed to her desk. Thatâs when she suddenly noticed someone sitting on the sofa to the side.
It was a young man, dressed in a tailored suit, his legs elegantly crossed, his peach blossom eyes brimming with affection. Even when he wasnât smiling, those eyes naturally held a hint of amusement.
He met Xia Xinyuâs shocked gaze, his lips slowly curving upwards.
The shock on Xia Xinyuâs face quickly turned to delight!
Throwing caution to the wind, she rushed over and threw herself into the manâs embrace, tightly holding his waist, âWhen did you get back?â
âThis morning,â the manâs voice was full of magnetism, like his peach blossom eyes, naturally smiling, easily ensnaring oneâs heart.
Beyond surprised, Xia Xinyu couldnât help but ask, âHow did you get into my office? Didnât anyone notice?â
The man chuckled lightly, holding her waist, âThough it was a bit risky, it was worth it to see you sooner.â
Xia Xinyu blushed, her eyes filling with tears, âYizheng, Iâve missed you so much.â
As she spoke, she closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly as if waiting for the man to kiss her.
He Yizheng laughed softly, reaching out to caress her delicate lips, âXinyu, I rarely come back, and I donât have much time.â
Xia Xinyu opened her eyes, her face unable to hide disappointment.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âRegarding Jingyao, Iâm at a loss,â she sighed, âLiu Minjun might feel guilty towards me, but for her, her sonâs wishes are more important.â
âSo, Jingyao can finally be like a normal man, get close to a woman, and even have her bear his child?â He Yizhengâs voice sounded somewhat cold.
âIâm afraid so,â Xia Xinyu said somberly, âIâve dealt with that woman twice, led her to think sheâs the other woman, but thereâs nothing else I can do. Iâm afraid your dear nephew already knows Iâm the one causing trouble.â
He Yizheng narrowed his eyes, his thin lips pressed tightly together.
He was He Jingyaoâs uncle, yet only three years his senior. As the illegitimate son of the late old master, He Yizhengâs status in the He Family was somewhat awkward.
