Chapter 173: Chapter 173 You Deserve Better
Su Zixi spoke, flashing him a brilliant smile.
Her smile was so dazzling that it threw He Yizheng off for a moment.
“But have you never considered, if one day there appears a second one…”
“Then we’ll deal with the second one when it comes!” Su Zixi interrupted him, lifting her chin slightly with a hint of pride, “In all these years, Jingyao has only encountered one exception, which is me. So, I think the chances he’ll meet a second exception are slim. Why would I worry unnecessarily?”
He Yizheng’s gaze darkened, and he tightened his grip on her wrist, staring at her intently. After a moment, he suddenly laughed, “Actually, you know very well what Jingyao really thinks of you. A dignified woman would care about that.”
Su Zixi’s lips trembled lightly. She lowered her eyes, her voice tinged with a cry, “Let go of me!”
The smile on He Yizheng’s lips deepened.
This version of Su Zixi confirmed to him that her defenses had already crumbled, and he only needed to push a little harder…
“You deserve better,” He Yizheng’s voice was full of seduction, “Don’t you wish to find a man who truly loves you?”
Su Zixi shuddered even more violently. Drawing strength from who knows where, she suddenly shoved He Yizheng away fiercely and ran out!
He Yizheng’s expression changed slightly, his face marked with the irritation of his prey escaping.
He immediately chased after her and caught her wrist, closing in on her, and whispered in her ear, “If one day you figure it out, you can always come to find me.”
Under the current circumstances, Su Zixi couldn’t possibly accept him, but at least, he needed to let her know she had more options than just Jingyao. That way, when she needed it, she would remember him.
Seeing the girl’s pale face, he slowly started to smile.
Su Zixi turned to look at him, her eyes vacant, yet she managed to utter fiercely three words, “Let go of me!”
He Yizheng smiled faintly and finally let go. Su Zixi immediately stumbled out of the break room, bumping into a somewhat familiar woman, but Su Zixi had no intention of sparing her a glance.
As Xia Xinyu and Su Zixi brushed past each other, Xinyu’s gaze turned extremely cold!
She and Yizheng needed to meet in the company, but they didn’t want to be seen by others, so they would meet in the break room. She was curious why Yizheng had chosen this floor today, but seeing Su Zixi, she suddenly understood.
She quickly walked inside and saw He Yizheng with a slight smile and a pleased expression; she immediately jumped into his arms, “Yizheng!”
Just a few days apart felt like a very long time for her. She eagerly absorbed the scent of this man, her face expressing her deep emotions.
He Yizheng looked down at her, his eyes calm and unruffled.
Indeed, this was how a woman should treat him. Su Zixi… how could she be the exception?
He smiled, gently stroking Xia Xinyu’s long hair, “Are you here?”
“Yes,” she looked up at him, “I just saw Su Zixi…”
“Oh, I told her something,” He Yizheng’s eyes flickered, “Maybe soon, she’ll come to me on her own.”
Xia Xinyu’s face turned pale, “Yizheng, you…”
“Don’t worry,” He Yizheng reassured her promptly, “I’m just trying to ruin her relationship with Jingyao. The woman I truly like is only you.”
