Chapter 184: Chapter 184 It’s My Fault
“So, when are you coming back?” he asked slowly.
“Probably… probably after the exams,” Su Zixi said reluctantly.
“There’s still a month until the end of the term, right?” He Jingyao raised an eyebrow, “So, you plan to leave home for a month?”
Su Zixi felt guilty and stammered, unable to speak.
“Or, are you worried that if you stay here, I will force myself on you?”
“No!” Su Zixi hurriedly rebutted, “I know you’re not that kind of person!”
“Who says I’m not?” He suddenly chuckled and moved closer to her, cornering her against the wall, his hand gripping her chin, “Since my only purpose is to sleep with you, then, logically speaking, if I fail to seduce you, wouldn’t forcing you be a very logical choice?”
Su Zixi’s eyelashes trembled, and she finally couldn’t help but lift her head to meet his dark eyes.
Her heart suddenly felt an unusual sadness… Although he said that, Su Zixi still firmly believed that he was not that kind of person.
Maybe he was most interested in her body, but… she just inexplicably had the conviction that with his pride, he would never do such a thing.
If he did do it, it would mean he admitted to his defeat… But was He Jingyao a person who admitted defeat easily?
“I’m sorry, what happened last night was my fault,” Su Zixi said earnestly, “I was being too small-minded, I know you’ve always been good to me…”
“Yes, I’ve been good to you, but my goal is still to sleep with you,” He Jingyao coldly interrupted her, “Currently I can only have one woman, so I must be very cautious, otherwise, if I screw it up, wouldn’t I have no woman to sleep with?”
Su Zixi remained silent.
She wasn’t foolish; she could detect the sarcasm in his tone… Besides, even though he said that, up till now, they’d only had that one night by mistake…
If he really was like he claimed to be, he wouldn’t have to care about her feelings. After all, given his status, even if he imprisoned her, no one could do anything to him.
Perhaps, she really was wrong… But Su Zixi feared that deep down she would still resist him, and if that happened, he would become even angrier, wouldn’t he?
She bit her lip, her expression one of regret.
He Jingyao suddenly ruffled her hair, and his tone abruptly softened, “Since you want to leave, then go ahead.”
Su Zixi looked at him in shock.
“What, can’t bear to leave?” he teased with a crooked smile, “Or do you think I will definitely try to keep you here?”
Ashamed, Su Zixi shook her head, “No, that’s not it, then… goodbye.”
With that, she turned around and left the gym.
He Jingyao watched her leaving, his gaze deep and unreadable.
Su Zixi went downstairs to say goodbye to Uncle Li.
Uncle Li smiled, “Young Mistress, shall I take you?”
There were no bus stops nearby, and it wasn’t easy to hail a taxi… so Su Zixi nodded, “Thank you.”
“Young Mistress, actually, the Young Master is a very picky person,” Uncle Li suddenly said.
Su Zixi nodded blankly. That was true, He Jingyao had grown up with the best of everything and demanded the best in every aspect of life, all thanks to Uncle Li, his butler, who handled everything for him.
“The Young Master sets higher standards than others when making friends or choosing partners,” Uncle Li continued, “So, even if the Young Master can’t interact with women, it doesn’t mean he’s willing to marry just any woman.”
