Chapter 430: Chapter 430: I Don’t Miss You At All
Perhaps He Jingyao had already begun to appreciate Ye Shutong, which was why he let her be the first to know his movements?
And her greatest use to He Jingyao was perhaps just… being a bed partner.
Thinking of this, Su Zixi felt immensely disheartened.
Besides that, what could she bring to him? At work, she might work hard, but the results she could achieve were limited; she didn’t have Ye Shutong’s family background, nor her talent.
On the contrary, her presence might actually be a burden to He Jingyao.
At that thought, Su Zixi became agitated, and her entire being felt unwell.
Just then, her phone suddenly began to ring violently.
On the caller ID, the words “He Jingyao” were glaringly obvious.
After hesitating for a long time, Su Zixi gently pressed the answer button, and her voice trembled as she said, “Hello.”
He Jingyao chuckled in a low voice, “Have you calmed down?”
Upon hearing his voice, Su Zixi suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
She wanted to ask if Ye Shutong could really get close to him, she wanted to ask if he had private dealings with Ye Shutong.
But she knew she couldn’t ask.
She didn’t want to appear petty, and she was afraid that once she spoke, it would turn into an interrogation, making him dislike her.
Therefore, Su Zixi could only take a deep breath, pretend to still be angry and said, “Not at all! You haven’t even apologized to me!”
He Jingyao laughed again, his voice low and suggestive, “Then, how about I apologize to you in person tonight?”
He emphasized the words ‘in person’ and ‘personally’.
Su Zixi could almost picture him saying these words, his deep, dark eyes surely sparkling with a warm and ambiguous smile.
Her nose felt sore, and holding back tears, she pretended to be angry and said, “I don’t care for that, because… because I don’t miss you at all.”
Having said that, she didn’t wait for He Jingyao to respond and hastily hung up the phone.
She was afraid she would lose control of her emotions if she kept speaking.
But in truth, how could she not miss him? She wished she could see him right now, his warmth and tenderness dissolving the restlessness at the bottom of her heart.
In his office, He Jingyao listened to the dial tone on the phone, genuinely stunned for a moment, then he chuckled.
He hadn’t expected the little woman to be so temperamental this time.
However, he automatically interpreted “I don’t miss you at all” as “I miss you so much,” and thus felt extremely pleased.
As for her little mood… he would just have to coax her properly in person.
After a brief pause, he gave Feng Qian a call.
Since Su Guo’an had been unaware for so many years that Zhixi was not biologically related to him, the identity of Zhixi’s real father could probably only be known by her mother.
Although her mother had been deceased for many years, a thorough investigation would surely unearth some clues.
With Feng Qian’s capabilities, he could likely dig up something.
At that moment, Adam approached him and said, “Sir, the plane is ready.”
He Jingyao put away his phone and smiled slightly, “Let’s go.”
Adam bowed respectfully.
After hanging up the phone, Su Zixi stood there dazedly for a while.
Suddenly thinking of something, she put down her phone and turned to run outside!
As Su Zixi ran, her mind was filled with thoughts of He Jingyao, his deep-set eyes and doting smile, his solemn teasing and the charming allure of his passion…
