Chapter 174: Chapter 174 She is the Only One
Xia Xinyu then turned her worry into joy and reproached, “I thought you might be interested in her?”
“How is that possible, she’s just a little girl who is wet behind the ears…” He Yizheng said casually, but once again, the pale face of Su Zixi appeared before his eyes… and he felt a vague excitement.
Seeing the slight glow in his eyes, Xia Xinyu felt a sudden sinking in her heart.
Her woman’s intuition told her that He Yizheng’s attitude towards Su Zixi was not that simple… She originally had no issues with Su Zixi, but if she were to compete with her for Yizheng, then…
At this thought, Xia Xinyu’s hands involuntarily clenched tight.
Su Zixi didn’t know how she made it back to the office.
She sat at her desk, holding a cup of hot water, still shivering. Her colleagues had gone out for lunch, so no one noticed her unease.
The palm of her hand scorched by the cup felt burning hot, yet that heat seemed unable to reach her heart.
She stared blankly at the computer desktop, but her mind overflowed with those four words: inflatable doll…
No, how could it be? He Jingyao had always been good to her; she could see the tenderness and indulgence in his eyes, so he couldn’t just be using her as a tool for release…
Since they had met, he had descended from the skies many times to help her out of trouble; without him, how miserable would she be now?
Yet, another voice inside her heart whispered: everything he did, was just to make her willingly sleep with him…
No, it wasn’t like that!
Besides, even if it was true, it shouldn’t matter. After all, she was the only one, and he would never have another woman but her.
Just like she had said to He Yizheng, she should be happy, right?
With this thought, Su Zixi’s previously agitated emotions finally began to calm down.
She couldn’t let He Yizheng affect her!
Su Zixi looked up just as Adam happened to walk in and said with a smile, “Young Mistress, the president is asking for you upstairs.”
Su Zixi smiled and nodded, then stood and followed him out.
No wonder He Jingyao had never visited her office before, as it was full of female employees…
Thinking about it now, there were many signs all along, yet she had never pondered them deeply.
It was because of this that that night was his first time, so when he carried her into Hades Manor, both the servants and Huo Yanhui looked surprised…
Su Zixi chuckled bitterly.
If Mr. He didn’t have such an issue, then, with his status and conditions, how many women would be falling over themselves for him…
She truly was lucky indeed…
Su Zixi lowered her eyes, trying hard to view the situation from a more hopeful perspective.
The elevator doors pinged open, but Su Zixi was still looking down, somewhat dazed, until Adam called out “President” beside her, snapping her back to reality.
She lifted her head and saw the tall and upright figure of He Jingyao, his lips curved in a smile, reaching out to her, “Come here, Li Bo has already delivered lunch, including your favorite Black Forest cake.”
Su Zixi stared at him blankly, suddenly feeling a sour softness in her heart.
“What’s the matter?” Seeing her unusual expression, He Jingyao’s brow furrowed slightly, and his displeased gaze shifted towards Adam at his side.
