Chapter 106: Chapter 106 Gifts
Some decidedly impure images began to fill her mind… such as being wrapped up and delivered to his bed.
The worst part was, she couldn’t chase these images from her mind, so her heartbeat raced faster and her breathing became more rapid…
He Jingyao’s gaze darkened, “Su Zixi, what are you thinking about?”
“Nothing!” She quickly shook her head, “I was just thinking… just thinking if there’s anything decent I can give as a gift, hmm…”
As she spoke, she nodded emphatically to seem more convincing.
He Jingyao chuckled softly, opened a drawer in his desk, and then handed her a beautifully wrapped box, “Open it and have a look.”
Su Zixi’s attention was immediately captured by the box.
She glanced at the man and, encouraged by his gaze, untied the ribbon and lifted the lid.
Inside lay a stunningly crafted watch.
Holding it in her hands, she felt the quality of the watch and couldn’t help exclaiming, “It’s so beautiful!”
He Jingyao ran his fingers through her hair, feeling a wave of tenderness in his heart. This woman was really easy to please.
As instructed, Su Zixi fastened it on her wrist and waved her wrist in front of him a few times, “Does it look good?”
“Yes, it looks good,” He Jingyao said, his eyes deepening as he stared at her small, beaming face, his muscles tensing gradually.
“Hey, this watch seems a bit different from ordinary watches,” Su Zixi quickly noticed something special about the watch, her eyes suddenly lighting up, “Is this not the hi-tech watch that HI Corporation released earlier this year, the one that records various body data?”
He Jingyao’s lips curled into a smile, “Not the same, this is an upgraded model, much more precise and intricate. Any irregularity of yours will be recorded, and the data will also sync to my end.”
Su Zixi was taken aback, suddenly feeling a bit excited.
The man glanced at the watch face and slowly curved his lips into a smile, “Right now, it’s showing that your heartbeat is irregular.”
Su Zixi quickly took the watch off, “Then… then if I wear it, does it mean you can always know my location and movements?”
“Correct.” He admitted without hesitation. However, before she could glare at him, he added with a smile, “If you plan to do something and don’t want me to know, can’t you just leave it at home?”
Su Zixi felt a bit sheepish, “Well, I wouldn’t do anything shameful anyway…”
The man’s gaze flickered and he said, “Actually, I had already given you one of these watches before.”
Su Zixi stared at him blankly, suddenly recalling a beautifully packaged gift bag from over a week ago, which she had unfortunately thrown away due to Xia Xinyu’s misleading words.
She was immediately filled with regret, “I’m sorry… I shouldn’t have believed Xia Xinyu!”
Now that she was legally this man’s wife, and even Madam He didn’t reject her, it proved that the rumors regarding the fiancée were utterly baseless.
“It doesn’t matter.” He Jingyao smiled faintly, clasping her hand in his palm, “Have you decided what you want to give me now?”
Su Zixi’s face flushed, and after thinking it over, she realized she had nothing else of value to give besides herself.
“Not at the moment, I’ll make it up to you later…” Su Zixi lowered her head to mask her awkwardness, placed the watch back in the box and closed the lid, “It’s getting late, I should go back to sleep now.”
Then, she cautiously nudged the man’s sturdy arm.
