Chapter 172: Chapter 172
But to the experienced He Yizheng, her demeanor could only be described with four words… fierce on the outside, weak on the inside.
After returning to Country S, Su Zixi’s image lingered in his mind… As the only prey he had ever failed to capture in his years of hunting beauties, He Yizheng couldn’t help but care.
He had considered many ways to make Su Zixi fall head over heels for him, but he had not expected everything to come so easily.
This foolish woman, she didn’t even know until now…
“Because Jingyao can’t come into contact with women,” He Yizheng said with a smile as he revealed this secret, “Any woman, as long as she comes within three meters of him, he will have a severe reaction, and over all these years, you are the only exception. Haven’t you noticed that Jingyao always travels with at least a dozen bodyguards? That’s the reason.”
“How can there be such an illness, that’s ridiculous!” Su Zixi shivered slightly, involuntarily stepping back against the wall, her tone resolute yet with a hint of panic in her eyes.
Although her rational mind was reluctant to believe, her subconscious knew that this explanation was reasonable, even… the most reasonable one.
“Otherwise?” He Yizheng said with a smile, “Did you think it was your own charm that made Jingyao so devoted to you? No, it’s simply because he can only touch you.”
Su Zixi trembled all over.
She had asked He Jingyao countless times why he was so obsessed with her, how had he told her?
Because, he wanted to sleep with her…
Yes, that was the answer she once thought was preposterous and evasive, yet it was the truth.
If not for this, why would the illustrious Young Master He fall for her?
If not for this, why would she, an ordinary girl, receive his favor?
Later, she stopped caring about this answer, thinking it was divine favor, but she never imagined that it would be this kind of favor…
She indeed was fortunate, otherwise why would she be the special one…
Logically, she should be happy; her once baffling questions had answers, and, if she was the only woman He Jingyao could touch, then she had even less reason to worry—He Jingyao would always be good only to her.
But why was her heart still so saddened…
“Poor girl…” He Yizheng showed a look of pity, he approached her, reaching out to caress her cheek, and Su Zixi did not reject him.
She was completely bewildered, totally unsure of what to do.
“Did you think Jingyao really loved you? You’re wrong,” He Yizheng said with a sigh, “He just treats you… like an inflatable doll.”
Su Zixi’s complexion instantly turned as pale as paper!
These four words, like a spell carrying a cold and pitying aura, lingered in her mind.
She suddenly pushed He Yizheng away fiercely, saying coldly, “So what, I am willing!”
Yes, so what, after all she was the one and only, even if this was the truth, there was nothing to fear.
“Stop pretending,” He Yizheng caught her wrist, saying softly, “Do you really not care?”
“I don’t care,” she mechanically spit out these words, “Why should I care? No matter what he considers me, no second person can replace me. On the contrary, I should thank you… I used to worry that one day I might not be able to keep his heart, but now, I don’t have to worry anymore.”
