101 Chapter 101: You Deserve the Best in the World
Su Zixi hastily shook her head, "No need, I have enough clothes!"
She always felt that her marriage to this man was merely to repay a debt, yet she couldn't truly see herself as his wife, rightfully enjoying everything.
He Jingyao's gaze darkened, his hand resting on her waist as he said, "Su Zixi, you are my wife now, So, what you wear, what you use, represents my capability."
That did seem somewhat reasonable. If she went to work at HI still wearing clothes that cost a hundred or two hundred yuan, people might think He Jingyao was very stingy.
Su Zixi became conflicted.
"So, any gift I give you, just accept it," He Jingyao looked into her eyes, his voice growing husky, "Since you are my wife, He Jingyao's wife, then you deserve the best in the world."
Su Zixi's heart trembled, staring dumbly into his eyes.
"Jingyao..." she murmured involuntarily, "Why are you so good to me?"
She had asked this question countless times, but every time, this man never gave her a clear answer.
He Jingyao smiled softly, pinching her rounded chin, slowly uttering two words, "Haven't I said it before, because..."
Su Zixi looked at him expectantly.
A mischievous smile flashed in the man's eyes, then he leaned down and bit her cheek, "Because I want to sleep with you."
Su Zixi shuddered all over, then her face turned crimson!
"He Jingyao!" she looked at him angrily.
This man was too much, always shamelessly flirting with her!
However, considering this man's actions, Su Zixi actually found this answer quite persuasive... But if that were the case, moving into his house would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den, wouldn't it?
Why did she suddenly feel like the whole situation was this man's conspiracy? Now that she thought about it, it seemed quite unreasonable that Su Lianxi, a newcomer with no background, was suddenly favored by Director Chen and promised a lead role.
As Su Zixi pondered, her gaze towards the man carried a trace of disbelief.
He Jingyao chuckled, taking her hand, "Dinner's almost ready; let's go down."
Ning Yichen lay on the hospital bed, staring up at the ceiling.
Xiaofang removed his shoes and covered him with a blanket, looking helpless, "Young Master, why haven't you broken up with Miss Lianxi after what she did?"
Ning Yichen closed his eyes, saying nothing.
Xiaofang continued, "You've been avoiding coming home, and the lady has been fretting for a long time. She thought you were dead for those three years, and you have no idea how heartbroken she was. It wasn't easy for her when you finally woke up, yet you still refuse to go home. If it weren't for her special status which makes it hard for her to leave Yangdong City, she would have come looking for you. She still doesn't know about Miss Lianxi; if she did, she probably wouldn't agree to your marriage either."
"Shut up," Ning Yichen rasped, his fingers pressing against his temples.
Xiaofang had no choice but to swallow the rest of his words, murmuring, "I'll go buy dinner."
The hospital room finally quieted down.
After a long time, Ning Yichen slowly sat up in bed, his fingers still pressed against his temples.
It was only today that Ning Yichen realized he might never have truly understood this woman.
