Chapter 395: Chapter 395: Addicted
The weather was getting colder.
Moreover, located at a higher latitude, Yangdong City had an even colder, bone-chilling winter.
As Su Zixi walked out of the hospital, a howling cold wind greeted her face. Although she was fully armed against the cold, stepping from the warm indoors to the outdoors, she couldn’t help but shiver.
Huo Yanhui saw this and immediately wanted to take off his coat to drape over her.
“No need, it’ll be warm in the car.” Su Zixi shook her head, refusing, “Besides, you aren’t wearing much either.”
Huo Yanhui thought for a moment, “Alright, Jingyao probably wouldn’t be happy if you wore another man’s clothes either.”
Su Zixi burst into laughter, “Now you’ve also become ‘another man’…”
When Huo Yanhui had been blocking Ning Yichen, he had never considered this point.
He didn’t mind, “That’s different, I’m open and honest, but that Ning guy clearly has ulterior motives.”
Su Zixi’s smile faded, and her gaze grew calm.
Every time she thought of Ning Yichen, recalling the way he looked at her, Su Zixi couldn’t help being affected as she had once held so many expectations for him.
She hoped that one day he would see sense and stop obsessing over her.
“Are you really not going to save Su Guo’an?” Huo Yanhui couldn’t help but ask.
“Haven’t you always hoped that I wouldn’t save him?” Su Zixi widened her eyes as she looked at him.
Huo Yanhui touched his nose, “Well, I mainly hoped that your marrow wouldn’t match, but now that you can save him, it’s a different matter, and little sister, you obviously aren’t someone who could be heartless.”
Su Zixi remained silent for a while.
“…He will ask me for help,” she suddenly smiled, “I understand him somewhat, when he can’t find a suitable match in the marrow bank, he will definitely turn to me. If he asks me, then, I will still save him.”
Huo Yanhui was delighted, “I decision!”
“By the way, don’t tell Jingyao about today,” Su Zixi looked at Huo Yanhui, “If he finds out, he might come over to comfort me. I don’t want him to travel back and forth because of me.”
Huo Yanhui raised his eyebrows in surprise, “Are you certain he would come if he knew?”
“I don’t know, but it’s possible,” Su Zixi rubbed her somewhat cold ears, “Let’s get in the car quickly.”
After a busy morning, He Jingyao finally managed to return to his office.
Outside the window, the sky was clear, a rare good weather day.
He Jingyao looked at the empty sofa, a sense of loss and emptiness lingering. Usually, at this time, Su Zixi would have already come to her office, obediently sitting on the sofa waiting for him. But now, she was far away in Yangdong City.
It was only one day, but he was already feeling restless and distracted during the meeting that morning. He felt like an addict, and the only person who could comfort him was…
He Jingyao suddenly put down his coffee cup, loosened his tie, and called out, “Adam.”
The chief assistant immediately appeared, “Sir.”
“Cancel all of this afternoon’s plans,” he crooked his lips into a smile, “Arrange a flight to Yangdong City.”
Adam was shocked, “But sir, this afternoon there’s still…”
“Either cancel or postpone,” He Jingyao said with slight impatience, cutting him off.
Adam reluctantly complied, “Director He just brought a stack of documents for you to review…”
“Send them back!” He Jingyao snorted coldly, already striding out of the office, with Adam hurrying to keep up.
