Chapter 33: Chapter 33: The Best Way to Take Revenge
Editor: Atlas Studios
“For things like hitting people, there’s no need to do it yourself.” He Jingyao looked at her reddened palm with distress, then suddenly bent down and kissed her burning hand.
Su Zixi felt a slight tingle in her palm and instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but she couldn’t.
She looked into He Jingyao’s deep eyes, and suddenly, a strange warmth swept through her heart.
Her heartbeat suddenly became chaotic.
She quickly said, “It’s nothing, it’ll be fine in a bit. Su Lianxi’s face is swollen anyway. Too bad I didn’t have nails, otherwise, it would’ve been great to scratch her face.”
He Jingyao chuckled lightly, “Do you know what the best way to get revenge is?”
Su Zixi was taken aback, “What?”
“Let her get something that doesn’t belong to her, let her greed swell, and then take it all away.” He Jingyao said meaningfully.
Su Zixi’s eyes widened.
“Let’s go eat first.” He Jingyao couldn’t help but ruffle her hair again.
Su Zixi stood at the entrance of Xinwei Pavilion, seeing the small restaurant, which was usually popular among students, surrounded by more than a dozen bodyguards, her expression became a bit strange.
He Jingyao, however, looked as calm as ever, holding her hand as they walked in and casually finding a place to sit.
Su Zixi felt a bit embarrassed, quickly taking out a napkin to wipe the table. In such a small restaurant, the hygiene conditions were just average. The pampered Master He would surely find it very uncomfortable, right?
In hindsight, she should have suggested a more upscale restaurant.
Su Zixi thought with annoyance.
He Jingyao watched her diligent actions, the corners of his lips curling up as he leisurely observed her.
As Su Zixi bent over to wipe the table, the neckline of her dress opened up, giving He Jingyao a clear view of the scenery.
His gaze gradually darkened, and his previously relaxed hands subtly moved.
Su Zixi didn’t notice a thing.
After she finished wiping the table and sat down, she happened to meet the deep, dark eyes of Master He.
Her heart immediately skipped a beat.
“What’s wrong?” she asked cautiously.
He Jingyao’s gaze remained fixed on her chest, his voice slightly hoarse, “Nothing.”
Following his gaze, Su Zixi looked down, finally noticing that her neckline had somehow dropped significantly, revealing her cleavage.
Her face turned red, and she quickly grabbed her neckline to pull it up!
Then, she noticed Master He seemed to show a hint of regret.
She was both ashamed and angry but didn’t know what to accuse him of. After stewing in her frustration for a moment, she couldn’t help but ask, “Master He, what is it that you want exactly?”
Why was he so persistent with her? What did he ultimately want from her?
As for love at first sight… if a naive schoolboy said it, she might believe him, but if Master He said it, she wouldn’t dare to believe it.
“Hmm?” He Jingyao raised an eyebrow slightly, looking a bit puzzled, “Haven’t I made myself clear enough?”
Su Zixi was stunned, her face full of confusion.
He Jingyao looked deeply at her, the corners of his lips curling up, “Sit next to me, and I’ll tell you.”
Without much thought, Su Zixi stood up, ready to sit opposite him, but seeing the amused glint in Master He’s eyes, her heart skipped a beat.
It felt like… he was looking for an opportunity to tease her. What should she do?
If she sat next to him, it seemed easier for him to do whatever he wanted…
Su Zixi became conflicted once again.
