Chapter 252: Chapter 252: The One Destined
Su Zixi had been waiting until dinner time was almost over before He Jingyao arrived.
When the man entered the living room, he saw Su Zixi eagerly welcoming him and even virtuously took off his suit jacket for him.
He smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist, “Missed me?”
“I was waiting for you to come back so we could have dinner together,” said Su Zixi in a muffled voice, “Are you done with your work?”
He Jingyao looked at her seriously and suddenly embraced her tightly.
“Su Zixi, if one day I did something to wrong you, what would you do?”
Su Zixi’s face turned pale with shock as she looked up, “What have you done? Could it be that you had an affair? But you clearly can’t … could there be an exception again?”
He Jingyao looked at her shocked face, his eyes darkening, “What if it really happened?”
Su Zixi trembled slightly, unable to tell if he was joking or if it was really true …
If it were true, that would be too soon!
For a moment, Su Zixi felt disoriented and muttered, “I don’t know, if it’s true … I … I …”
Just thinking about that possibility made it hard for her to breathe.
If his tenderness and pampering, intimacy, and teasing were given to another woman …
Imagining that scenario, Su Zixi couldn’t help but cover her chest, her complexion turning deathly pale as if all hope and warmth were forcefully drained from her …
Seeing this, He Jingyao felt both heartache and amusement, and once again took her into his embrace, “Don’t be afraid, it won’t happen.”
At that moment, he suddenly understood why Huo Yanzhao felt such deep regret.
The fundamental reason was not that Yun Xuefei might leave him because of this, but rather the great emotional toll and pain it had caused Yun Xuefei.
Hurting the person he loved most … that feeling definitely wasn’t pleasant.
He was only making a hypothetical scenario, and this woman was already this distressed, what if it were real? What would she do then?
So he would never let such a thing happen.
He never wanted to see that sad expression on her face.
Perhaps Yanzhao was right.
Having such a condition was truly a blessing. It inherently eliminated all possibilities of accidents. Since Su Zixi was the one destined for him, having her alone was already enough.
That’s right. That’s how it was! Ever since she appeared, his imagination and expectations for other women had ceased because … having her was enough.
Suddenly, He Jingyao felt a surge of unusual emotion welling up in his chest, so swiftly that it caught him off guard.
But in that instant, he suddenly realized something.
“Su Zixi …” he called her name softly, his voice hoarse and lingering.
Su Zixi was still somewhat bewildered, “So, you … you didn’t do anything to wrong me, did you?”
He Jingyao ruffled her hair and smiled as he affirmed with a “Mhmm,” “Haven’t I told you before that there is no man more devoted than me in this world?”
Su Zixi was speechless.
He had told her this a long time ago, and at the time, Su Zixi did not believe him, but now she understood what it meant…
“Actually, even if that day comes, it doesn’t matter,” Su Zixi said after thinking, “If one day you recover and fall in love with some woman, you… you can just tell me directly. I will be hurt and upset, but I won’t be unable to go on. I’ll still be alright.”
