Chapter 129: Chapter 129: It Turns Out She is also Worthy of Love
“I’m the boss, and I’m ordering you to get off work now,” He Jingyao glanced at her lightly.
Su Zixi was immediately infuriated.
“Put me down!” she glared at him.
The man chuckled, loosening his arm so she could stand on the ground. Unfortunately, Su Zixi was so weakened by his handling that her legs gave way and she collapsed back into his arms!
As the scent of delicate jade filled his arms again, He Jingyao’s smile grew even gentler, “It seems you’re not feeling well?”
Su Zixi was dying of mortification, “He Jingyao!”
“Hmm, I understand,” he said, looking completely aware as he scooped her up horizontally and carried her out of the office.
Su Zixi’s tears streamed down her face.
Although she had long known this man’s shamelessness, each time, he managed to exceed her expectations.
She always felt… if he took her straight home, she would be doomed tonight!
Su Zixi felt a tremendous sense of crisis.
Fortunately, along the way, He Jingyao, probably not wanting to scare her, didn’t make any more moves but asked her about some work-related matters.
“Oh, we’ve started writing the detailed proposal already, it should be completed in a week at most,” Su Zixi’s eyes lit up as she talked about her work.
“Hmm, not bad,” He Jingyao smiled slightly, approvingly patting her head.
Su Zixi was pleased, “I have a lot of confidence in this app now, everyone says my ideas are good, but I’m not sure if the tech department can pull it off…”
She frowned as she spoke.
“No worries, don’t be afraid they can’t do it,” He Jingyao curled his lips, “If they can’t, it means they lack the capability, HI doesn’t nurture the incompetent.”
Su Zixi’s face turned pale with fright, “Then… what if our product fails…”
“Oh, you’re the exception,” He Jingyao said softly, “Don’t worry, just go ahead with whatever you want to do.”
Su Zixi was moved, looking at his doting eyes, suddenly feeling as if her emotions were about to overflow.
“Jingyao, you don’t have to be so good to me, nor do you need to give me special treatment, I…” she hesitated for a moment, then firmly said, “I won’t let you down!”
“Hmm, I believe,” looking into her determined eyes, the man’s gaze softened even more.
He liked her naive and conflicted manner, as well as her confident demeanor.
Anyway, he found everything about her delightful!
Inspired, Su Zixi’s emotions surged even more.
Ever since meeting He Jingyao, she had received so much warmth and pampering that after her mother’s death, she thought she would never again be looked at with such tender eyes.
But now, a massive sense of happiness suddenly enveloped her.
She suddenly realized that she too was worthy of love. Remembering her past self, cautiously giving everything in hope of a little warmth, she suddenly felt like crying.
But she had no regrets, perhaps it was precisely because of this that Mr. He appeared out of nowhere.
“Jingyao, I…” she suddenly choked up, “Thank you.”
“Really?” He Jingyao’s gaze darkened slightly, “If you really want to thank me, shouldn’t you show some appreciation?”
Meeting his meaningful gaze, Su Zixi got the message instantly!
Any trace of emotion was swept away instantly, as she quickly dodged to the side, her gaze wary: “No appreciation, just !”
At that moment, the car arrived at Hades Manor.
He Jingyao chuckled, stretching his hand towards her with a low, seductive voice: “Come here.”
