Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Compared to me, they are all womanizers
Su Zixi was somewhat embarrassed, “I know, sorry.”
What was she even thinking about? To actually assume…
“No problem, I know you’re just concerned about Xuefei,” Huo Yanzhao smiled, “Head back now.”
After that little episode, Su Zixi returned to the private room feeling much calmer. She sat down beside He Jingyao and said seriously, “That was just three minutes, you know.”
He Jingyao couldn’t help but laugh and ruffled her hair.
Huo Yanhui snorted, “That’s too much, Jingyao, I find your show of affection even more over the top than my brother’s! Geez, Shenhan, we’re just a pair of loners…”
As he spoke, he went to put his arm around Yun Shenhan but was stopped by a slap from him.
Yun Shenhan pointed seriously at himself, “Me, pure straight guy, keep your distance.”
Huo Yanhui was so irritated that his face turned green; “Who fancies you! I’m a real man too, okay? Alas, throughout my years as a player, why haven’t I encountered my missing rib?”
Huo Yanzhao just entered and caught the tail end of Huo Yanhui’s lament. He scoffed disdainfully, “Even if you did meet her, your rib probably categorized you as a scumbag and would never give you a second chance!”
Huo Yanhui’s face struggled to maintain composure, “Hey, hey, watch your language, who’s a scumbag!”
“Last month, three girls came looking for you at home, and the month before that, five,” Huo Yanzhao ruthlessly exposed him, “And a few even came to me, only to be turned away by Xuefei.”
“Heartless, truly heartless,” Yun Shenhan remarked, looking at Huo Yanhui as if he were something incurable.
Su Zixi quietly asked He Jingyao, “Is he really that much of a playboy?”
“It depends on who you compare him with,” He Jingyao replied with a slight smile, “Compared to me, they’re all playboys.”
Instantly, the three men on the other side unified their angry glares towards He Jingyao.
Su Zixi was impressed; some people’s ability to provoke animosity was simply beyond her reach.
Su Zixi ended her holiday and went back to work at the office. Although she hadn’t been there for a few days, her work hadn’t fallen behind. She discussed issues that had arisen in the planning with colleagues and then set about making revisions, making the morning fly by quickly.
After revising the plan, Su Zixi picked up her cup to go to the office’s water cooler to pour some water. While she was filling her cup, she lifted her head to check the time; it was almost eleven o’clock. Soon it would be time to go upstairs to have lunch with He Jingyao…
She suddenly remembered the words whispered in her ear by a certain someone on her way to work that morning, and her earlobes couldn’t help but turn slightly red.
She was probably not going to escape his clutches tonight, so she definitely had to eat more!
Just then, footsteps sounded from behind her, and someone approached her side. Su Zixi was twisting her cup and didn’t pay attention, but the man next to her suddenly spoke up, “Zhixi, we meet again.”
Su Zixi looked up in shock, then blurted out, “Uncle?
Standing beside her was none other than He Yizheng.
“How about joining me for lunch?” He Yizheng said, his smile gentle.
Su Zixi subtly felt for goosebumps on her skin and shook her head warily, “No need, I’m going up to find Jingyao soon.”
“He’s still in a meeting, and I don’t know when it will end,” He Yizheng reminded her.
“It’s okay, I can wait for him,” Su Zixi was unmoved, preparing to leave the water cooler area and circle around him, but He Yizheng stretched out his hand to stop her.
“Uncle, this is the public water cooler area. People could come in at any moment. You better not mess around,” Su Zixi warned him calmly.
