Chapter 230: Chapter 230: The Heart of a Child
This kiss was exceptionally tender and lingering.
When they parted, Su Zixi couldn’t help but speak, “Jingyao…”
“Hmm?” The man responded hoarsely.
“I… I have something I want to tell you…” She pursed her lips, then suddenly reached out to embrace his waist.
He Jingyao was slightly taken aback and caressed her smooth back with his fingers, stifling a “hmm” sound.
“I don’t care anymore…” she whispered, “No matter the reason you married me… I don’t care. After all, I’m your only woman, right?”
As she spoke, she lifted her head to look into his eyes.
He Jingyao seemed to find her appearance amusing and smiled faintly, “Right.”
“I…” Su Zixi bit her lip before continuing, “I’m happy… that I am the special one, otherwise, I think I would never have met you. I know I’m not as smart as you, and I have many flaws, but… I like you, no, I should say, I… have fallen in love with you.”
She finally spoke that word, seemingly a bit shy, her gaze faltered for a moment, but she eventually looked bravely into his eyes.
He Jingyao gradually reined in his smile, finally realizing that what she was saying was very important to her.
Perhaps it was for him as well.
“Zhixi,” he began involuntarily.
“Don’t rush, let me speak,” Su Zixi stopped him earnestly, “I don’t have a home anymore, so from now on, wherever you are will be my home. Jingyao, I know you treat me well, but I also know that if you didn’t have this condition, you wouldn’t even spare me a second glance. I… I don’t dare to ask for your love, I’m already very satisfied with how things are now. But if one day you get better and you have more choices, if you like another woman, you must tell me, I won’t cling to you.”
She hurriedly finished speaking, then added with a flushed face, “Anyway, I will try my best to make you happy, whatever you want, I’ll try my best to satisfy you.”
He had brought her so many surprises in the past.
So, as long as he was happy, she too would feel content.
He Jingyao stared at her, not speaking for a long time.
Su Zixi gradually began to feel uneasy, “Did I… say something wrong?”
The man suddenly chuckled softly and shook his head gently, “No.”
He pulled her into his arms, not with any desire, only with tenderness.
“Su Zixi, how can you be so foolish,” he said with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
“But I am speaking from the heart,” she added earnestly.
“Hmm, I know,” He Jingyao’s voice was complex.
He suddenly realized that compared to her, he was even somewhat despicable. Indeed, he liked her, but his fondness for her paled in comparison to her genuine sincerity.
He only needed to use a little bit of manipulation, and he could easily break through her defenses, until she finally fell in love with him… it was his goal, but he couldn’t deny that from the beginning what he wanted was her body. Although throughout this process, the pleasure she gave him went far beyond mere desire.
In fact, she had always known, even now, she was very clear.
But this woman, this woman laid herself bare in front of him without any artifice or concealment, nothing but a cautious and genuine heart.
Even going so far as to utter such foolish words, leaving virtually no way out for herself.
