Chapter 110: Chapter 110 Ning Yichen’s Plan
He continued, “I want to marry you, not only because you have done me a favor, but more importantly, I believe that you are a good girl. Otherwise, if it were just to repay a favor, I would have countless other ways. Marrying you isn’t the only option.”
Su Lianxi’s lips trembled faintly as she nodded vigorously!
It was only then that she realized she had gotten ahead of herself in her excitement. Although Ning Yichen had forgiven her, whether he could marry her in the future still depended on her behavior…
Su Lianxi clenched her fists, suppressing the humiliation and resentment at the bottom of her heart, and with a choked voice, she said, “I understand, Yichen, as long as you are still willing to be with me, I’ll be very satisfied. I will definitely make your family accept me and I will show you the sincerity of my feelings!”
Ning Yichen’s gaze softened, and he finally revealed a faint smile, “Please get me a bowl of soup.”
“Yes!” Su Lianxi quickly wiped away her tears and went aside to serve the soup.
Ning Yichen looked out the window, his expression inscrutable.
Originally, he had stayed in Yanzhou City partly for Su Lianxi and partly because he did not want to return to the Ning Family, a place rife with internal strife.
With the power of the Ning Family, if they truly wanted to find him, it would have been effortless, yet no one inquired about him during the three years of his coma; even his mother thought him dead.
Without a doubt, someone did not want him to return.
In the past, he was determined to stay away from disputes, but now, he felt a sense of unwillingness stirring within him. If he could not command enough power and resources, even as the eldest son of the Ning Family, he would still be trampled underfoot by others.
Remembering He Jingyao’s haughty demeanor at the Su Family yesterday, a flicker of humiliation passed through his eyes.
Even if Su Lianxi was at her worst, it was not for another man to criticize her!
Besides, Su Zhixi was already He Jingyao’s wife. That woman once had designs on him, and now it seemed she had found a better support… Thinking about the distant look Su Zhixi used to give him, the irritation in his heart suddenly peaked!
After successfully requesting a long leave, Su Zhixi took a taxi to HI Corporation.
Early this morning, while He Jingyao was doing his morning exercises, she secretly ate breakfast and went to the school without having to face him.
She hoped that since she came to work obediently, he wouldn’t hold it against her. Su Zhixi thought, ostrich-like.
This time, after Su Zhixi reported her name, the receptionist greeted her with a beaming smile and invited her upstairs, a complete turnaround from her attitude the day before. Su Zhixi walked into the elevator that led directly to the CEO’s office, reflecting on the change but discovered that there were already people inside.
Three young men in suits were discussing something in low voices, among them a man in a silver-grey striped suit who stood out. He was tall, with broad shoulders and long legs, and his features were exceptionally handsome, especially those peach blossom eyes which gave an astonishingly stunning impression.
All the people in HI Corporation are so good-looking? She was fortunate that she had seen plenty of He Jingyao recently, which had made her immune to such beauty, preventing her from losing her composure. So after a brief glance, Su Zhixi withdrew her gaze and stood in the corner, trying hard to reduce her presence.
“If there is no problem, then take the documents for Jingyao to sign,” the man in the silver-grey suit spoke in a deep voice.
Upon hearing the name He Jingyao, Su Zhixi couldn’t help but raise her head and look at him, only to find that he was also looking at her, his expression smiling and his eyes seemingly filled with a gentle glow.
