Chapter 429: Chapter 429 Arriving Tonight
Su Zixi and Li Bo returned to Wanhe Qianfeng Garden, Huo Yanhui had not yet awakened, and Su Zixi went back to her room to continue studying her gift.
Li Bo was about to prepare dinner when suddenly, the phone in the villa rang.
He glanced at the caller ID and immediately answered respectfully, “Young Master.”
“Has she calmed down?” He Jingyao’s voice carried a light smile as he asked about Su Zixi.
Li Bo chuckled, “The Young Mistress was just asking when you would come to Yangdong City, I think she misses you.”
“Ha,” He Jingyao chuckled softly, “Tell her that I will be in Yangdong City tonight, she will be able to see me in about three hours.”
Li Bo laughed joyfully, “That’s wonderful! Oh, and there’s something else…”
Then, Li Bo told him the whole truth about Su Zixi not being Su Guo’an’s biological child.
He Jingyao listened, and his gaze grew darker.
It meant, when he went to Yangdong City the day before yesterday, Su Zixi had intended to confide in him.
Unfortunately, it seemed he hadn’t given her the chance to speak.
With this thought, He Jingyao felt slightly annoyed.
No wonder she was so angry that she wouldn’t even answer his calls.
“Young Master, don’t worry. I see the Young Mistress hasn’t been severely affected, and she has already cheered up,” said Li Bo.
“Hmm,” He Jingyao smiled faintly, “Arrange everything; I’m leaving shortly.”
“Yes,” Li Bo responded with a smile.
After ending the phone call, Li Bo immediately went upstairs and knocked on Su Zixi’s door.
Su Zixi quickly opened the door: “Li Bo? What’s up?”
“Young Mistress, I have good news,” Li Bo smiled, “the Young Master just called to say that he will be arriving in Yangdong City tonight.”
Li Bo thought Su Zixi would be thrilled to hear this news.
But her expression changed abruptly!
“What did you say? Tonight?” Su Zixi looked at him incredulously. “How is that possible?”
“The Young Master said it himself; he’s about to leave,” Li Bo was somewhat surprised.
Su Zixi seemed momentarily dazed.
Even Li Bo had just received the news, so how could Ye Shutong know?
And considering her confident tone… it probably wasn’t a coincidence.
Unable to help it, Su Zixi bit her lip tightly and nodded, “Okay, I got it.”
“Young Mistress, what happened?” Li Bo looked concerned.
Su Zixi quickly shook her head, forcing a smile, “It’s nothing. Of course, I’m happy that Jingyao is coming, I’m just worried that he might be angry at me for not answering his calls yesterday.”
“Why would he?” Li Bo smiled reassuringly, “The Young Master would never be angry with you.”
Su Zixi nodded gently.
After Li Bo left, Su Zixi was still somewhat distraught. Although she constantly told herself that He Jingyao loved her, she could not entirely ignore the presence of Ye Shutong.
What was most crucial was even she couldn’t deny that the status and capabilities of Ye Shutong could greatly assist He Jingyao in ways that were not minor. In terms of work and career, they must have a lot to discuss. She believed He Jingyao wouldn’t fall out of love so quickly, but if there was a collaborative relationship between them, over prolonged interactions, might He Jingyao eventually realize that Ye Shutong was far more suitable for him than she was?
