Chapter 233: Chapter 233 Curiosity
However, at this moment, the closeness of skin-to-skin embrace was even more cherished than during the throes of passion.
Su Zixi thought how wonderful it would be if time could stop right at this second.
Even if he didn’t love her as much yet, it didn’t matter.
She had nothing but a sincere heart. If he was willing to treasure it, that was more than enough for her.
Su Zixi leaned into the man’s arms, feeling his strong and powerful heartbeat, almost too overwhelming for her to bear, just like the strength he wielded…
Recalling the scenario from before, she felt her face turning red again and hastily searched for a topic, “… Jingyao, aren’t you unable to get close to women? What about transgenders?”
He Jingyao lowered his gaze to look at her, raised an eyebrow, and his inscrutable black eyes revealed not a hint of emotion.
“Have you ever tried…” Su Zixi’s voice grew fainter as she spoke, “I’m just curious…”
“Tried.” To her surprise, after a long pause, the man actually responded to her.
And it was a positive answer!
Su Zixi immediately widened her eyes, “So, what was the outcome? Can you get close to them?”
He Jingyao pressed her curious face back into his chest, his voice slightly annoyed, “No.”
Su Zixi was persistent and lifted her head, “In that case, are you allergic to estrogen? Look, transgenders are still genetically male, but because they take hormones, their hormonal profile changes, and then you can’t get close to them…”
Su Zixi’s excitement grew as she spoke, “It must be that! Do you want to get it checked out?”
He Jingyao gave her a deep look and pinched her cheek, “Su Zixi, you’re a normal woman, tell me, is your estrogen secretion different from others?”
Su Zixi was stunned. That seemed to make sense…
“I’ve had many similar check-ups since I was young, my body is perfectly normal, stop guessing.” He narrowed his eyes at her.
Su Zixi uttered an “Oh,” but couldn’t resist asking, “What about hermaphrodites then?”
He Jingyao glared at her.
Su Zixi looked back at him with a face full of inquisitiveness.
The man cursed softly and said through gritted teeth, “No good either.”
Su Zixi’s mouth fell open in surprise. But then she thought, with the He Family’s status and influence, what would be the big deal about finding a hermaphrodite?
She cleared her throat and continued to inquire, “So what is the root cause of your discomfort? Is it the scent?”
“No.” He Jingyao’s brows twitched, “As long as a member of the opposite sex is within three meters of me, I will feel uncomfortable, even through a wall.”
Su Zixi marveled, “So it’s automatic detection! How amazing, even a computer wouldn’t be that precise!”
Too incredible, why would that be? Could it be related to genetics? Su Zixi started to mobilize her limited knowledge of biology.
Seeing her deep in thought, He Jingyao suddenly rolled over, pinning the chattering woman beneath him and said in a husky voice, “Since you’re so curious, why don’t we explore something else?”
Su Zixi quickly composed herself, shaking her head pathetically, “… It’s already dark, um, we should have dinner.”
“It won’t be late to eat later.” He finished speaking and then leaned down to capture her lips…
When they came out of the room fully dressed, it was already past eight.
Su Zixi’s legs felt a bit weak.
Although He Jingyao ultimately did not take her in the end, he had still brought her to the peak over and over again… With such a service-minded husband, she really should be content, right?
She thought with tears streaming down her face.
