Chapter 156: Chapter 156 Spoiled
Beast in human clothing.
As Su Zixi stared blankly, the phrase emerged once more in her mind, unshakably persistent.
He Jingyao, observing her dazed expression, spoke with profound implication, “Why aren’t you coming over for dinner? Or is it that you want to eat me?”
Su Zixi snapped back to reality, her face flushing as she said, “That’s… that’s not it!”
“Oh, I thought you were staring at me because you found me more appetizing,” he said, his lips curving into an enticing smile. “If you really want to, I wouldn’t mind…”
“I don’t, not at all!” Su Zixi hurriedly interrupted him, glaring at him, “I’m here to eat!”
Having said that, she plopped down at the dining table, and upon seeing a glass of milk in front of her, immediately grabbed it and began to drink voraciously.
While drinking the milk, she provocatively glanced at a certain someone, as if to prove her appetite was for the food, not for his body.
He Jingyao leisurely stirred his coffee, watching her with an amused smile.
Perhaps she hadn’t realized it herself, but now in front of him, she had shed the initial caution, not only becoming more relaxed but even learning to glare at him.
He Jingyao suddenly recalled a phrase Huo Yanhui had once murmured into his ear: women shouldn’t be spoiled, give them an inch, and they’ll take a mile.
However… Su Zixi was far from spoiled.
He Jingyao found himself somewhat looking forward to it.
After all, no matter what she was like, he liked her.
Sipping her milk, Su Zixi unconsciously set down the glass… across from her, He Jingyao’s gaze seemed a bit too tender, inadvertently making her face flush and her heart race.
“Why aren’t you drinking…” she murmured softly.
He Jingyao looked at her slightly reddened cheeks and the milky trace at the corner of her mouth, his body suddenly tensing up.
What was more fatal was that Su Zixi, realizing she had milk on her lips, extended her pink tongue and lightly licked it off…
He Jingyao’s gaze grew even more intense.
Her eyes were innocent, devoid of any lewdness, but it was precisely this that made it even harder for him to control himself…
He suddenly leaned forward, his hand gently brushing her lip as he said in a low voice, “And here too.”
Su Zixi was startled. Was it her imagination, or was the man’s voice unusually husky, his fingers unusually hot…
She chuckled awkwardly, picking up a napkin to meticulously wipe her face, then looked at him questioningly, “Is there any more?”
He Jingyao gave a slight smile and shook his head.
Reassured, Su Zixi then observed the spread of food before her, hesitating over what to eat.
He Jingyao suddenly smiled, picked a banana from the fruit basket, peeled it, and handed it to her, “Have some fruit first.”
Could it be because she had just satisfied him that he was being so considerate… Lost in wild thoughts, Su Zixi gladly accepted it and took a bite.
But upon taking the second bite, she noticed He Jingyao’s gaze seemed a bit too intense… She felt embarrassed, “Have some too.”
“Mhm.” The man responded in a low voice, his gaze still firmly fixed on her.
Su Zixi felt there was something amiss… She took another bite of the banana, yet heard his breathing suddenly become much heavier.
Looking up, she met his burning gaze head-on…
Su Zixi’s heart rate accelerated suddenly, and she hastily put the banana aside, “I don’t want any more!”
All she did was eat a banana, why did his expression turn so peculiar…
