Chapter 185: Chapter 185 Marital Discord
Su Zixi clenched her lips tight.
She understood what Li Bo meant.
In fact, she too was full of regret. Ever since He Jingyao left last night without looking back, she had started to regret it. But some things can’t be shrugged off just because she says they don’t matter. Her body was far more honest than she expected…
Besides, how could she not be afraid? Her father, Su Guo’an, had repeatedly disappointed her. Later, she cautiously pinned all her passion and expectations on Ning Yichen, only for him to deliver a fatal blow… Thus, she was fearful that what she had with He Jingyao was nothing but a mirage or a reflection in the mirror.
The more she cared, the more she feared losing… Su Zixi covered the spot over her chest, laughing at herself wryly.
Falling in love with He Jingyao had been all too easy… She had surrendered without even realizing it.
An hour later, Li Bo dropped her off at the entrance of Yanzhou University.
“Young Mistress, please be careful,” Li Bo said with a gentle smile. “The Young Master and I welcome you back anytime.”
Su Zixi smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.
The campus was as bustling as ever. Su Zixi, carrying her bag, walked among the students, unnoticed by anyone.
She made it back to her dorm smoothly and started taking things out of her backpack.
She had packed only a few clothes she had taken there before. The only thing she took with her… was the gift from He Jingyao.
It was a gift he had given her on the day they registered their marriage.
Su Zixi opened the box and looked at the exquisite watch… and, as if possessed, strapped it onto her wrist. That way, it felt as though they hadn’t really parted…
In just one short hour, she was already missing him.
What a lack of self-respect! Su Zixi chastised herself, smacking her own cheek.
Just then, the dorm room door was violently pushed open, and Shen Yushan burst in like a whirlwind: “Zhixi, you said you were going to come back to the dorm, what’s going on?”
Su Zixi thought for a moment and said, “We had a fight.”
Shen Yushan’s mouth fell open in surprise: “Fight… A fight? How come?”
“Uh… Isn’t it normal for married couples to fight?” Su Zixi chuckled nervously. “I don’t have my parents’ home to run away to now, so I had to come back to the dormitory.”
Shen Yushan immediately became indignantly protective, walking over and hugging her: “Did he bully you? Don’t worry, I’m here for you! I’ve got your back!”
Su Zixi couldn’t help but smile: “Yeah, thank you.”
“Come on, let’s go get something good to eat.” Shen Yushan took her hand. “I knew that marrying into a wealthy family wasn’t going to be easy. You, with your silly self, how could you handle that kind of big family? Tell me what happened, I’ve watched so many years of TVB dramas, I’ve got countless examples to give you advice.”
Su Zixi broke out in a sweat, “You’re thinking too much, it’s not that exaggerated. The He Family is actually very simple, and there is none of that melodramatic strife.”
Most importantly, He Jingyao was truly outstanding; no one could really cause him trouble. Even though He Yizheng seemed to have ill intentions, Su Zixi believed that such a character was no match for He Jingyao.
“Then why did you and Young Master He fight? Was it because of marital life disagreements?” Shen Yushan teased casually.
To her surprise, after she finished speaking, Su Zixi’s cheeks turned crimson.
She opened her mouth wide in shock: “Could it really be that…”
