Chapter 273: Chapter 273: He’s Here (5)
He Jingyao couldn’t help but laugh, once again embracing her and letting her tears smear all over his shirt collar.
Smelling his scent, Su Zixi’s emotions gradually eased. She lifted her head, somewhat embarrassedly wiping her tears, and stammered, “Jingyao, what should we do now?”
He Jingyao reached out his hand to carefully wipe the tears from her face, “Xia Xinyu still hasn’t decided what she wants from me; she wouldn’t dare actually kill anyone.”
Su Zixi pursed her lips, “Seeing her go crazy , it’s hard to say.”
There’s no logic or reasoning with a madman.
“Yes, fortunately, she still has a weakness.” He Jingyao curved the corners of his lips.
“He Yizheng?” Su Zixi suddenly remembered something: “Did you know that she had an abortion a few days ago? That child must have been He Yizheng’s. I saw her that day when I went to see Yushan, and I meant to tell you, but… but I forgot!”
As she spoke, frustration filled her face.
“Li Bo had already found out about that before he came.” He Jingyao soothed her by rubbing her head, “It’s okay.”
“Would it… would it help if He Yizheng confronted her?” Su Zixi’s eyes lit up.
He Jingyao raised an eyebrow, “Do you think… he would be willing to do that?”
Su Zixi thought for a moment then deflatedly shook her head.
Considering this, He Yizheng was probably eager to disassociate himself from Xia Xinyu, so why would he come forward to acknowledge their relationship?
Moreover, Xia Xinyu’s crazy actions might also be instructed by He Yizheng. After all, without any evidence to prove their relationship, as long as he denied it, no one could do anything to him.
Thinking about this, He Yizheng was really despicable! Xia Xinyu… was pitiful yet hateful.
Su Zixi clenched her teeth.
“Don’t worry, Xia Xinyu is probably more troubled than we are right now.” He Jingyao smiled faintly, “Even if she wants to go crazy, her followers would stop her.”
Su Zixi couldn’t help but murmur, “Because you are He Jingyao.”
“Exactly.” He looked deeply into her eyes, “Because I am He Jingyao.”
Everyone knew the power of the He Family, everyone knew He Jingyao’s position in it, so, they didn’t dare act rashly against He Jingyao.
Kidnapping for ransom is one thing, but killing is another.
In a sense, his presence was a sort of… protection for her safety?
Realizing this, Su Zixi suddenly saw that his willingly walking into the trap was not entirely for her peace of mind, but also had other considerations.
Thinking of this, her heart stirred excitedly.
“So, what do we do now…”
“Wait for an opportunity,” He Jingyao smiled slightly, “Su Zixi, you must understand, they are committing crimes, they are even more afraid than you.”
Su Zixi nodded convinced.
His composure gave her great courage and confidence.
Su Zixi suddenly felt that maybe this situation wasn’t such a big deal. After all, being kidnapped—being part of a powerful family, such events were almost a rite of passage…
“Does our date tonight still count?” she suddenly whispered softly.
He Jingyao chuckled lowly.
He clasped her chin, sucking hard on her lips, his voice husky, “Of course, it counts. I even prepared flowers and gifts; how could I waste them.”
Su Zixi stared at him, suddenly feeling as if the flowers he was giving her had blossomed early in her heart.
