Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Just Let Her Go Like That?
The experiences from the past two days were still vivid in her mind… Su Zixi mustered her last bit of strength to press against his firm chest, her breath thin, “Jingyao, stop…”
He Jingyao laughed hoarsely and caught her weak hands, kissing them by his lips, “I think it’s not enough…”
“It’s enough, really enough!” Su Zixi’s voice already carried a hint of crying.
Her body was truly falling apart…
“Is it?” He leaned down and captured her lips once again, his voice muffled, “You see, I came late tonight, so you gave the dessert you prepared for me to another man… I just had to figure out a way to compensate you.”
Su Zixi, who had been extremely tired, suddenly became alert upon hearing this and struggled to open her eyes, meeting someone’s dark and inscrutable eyes.
She finally realized that the matter with the bowl of bean curd dessert… had never really been resolved.
She had thought he truly didn’t care! But he was waiting here for her!
It wasn’t that he was compensating her; he was punishing her… Su Zixi thought, wanting to cry but finding herself tearless.
“Jingyao, I was wrong…” she apologized without hesitation, “I really was wrong… When he wanted to eat that bowl of bean curd dessert, I should have stopped him…”
“Who said you were wrong?” He said with a smile that was not quite a smile, one arm around her, the other soothingly rubbing her waist, “After all, I’m so picky, even if you had kept it for me, I might have disliked it.”
Upon hearing his words, Su Zixi quickly nodded, “Right! Right! That’s why I…”
She was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly realized that the man’s gaze seemed to have become darker, and the hand on her waist had suddenly become heavier!
Su Zixi vaguely felt that she might have said the wrong thing… She quickly shut her mouth.
“I mean…” she said, terrified of making amends, “if you wanted to eat it, I could make it for you anytime, um, anytime…”
“No need.” He smiled faintly, “After all, I would find it unpleasant.”
With that, he suddenly let her go and rolled over to lie on his side.
Su Zixi was stunned. After a moment, she barely propped herself up and looked toward the man next to her, only to find that he had already closed his eyes, his hands neatly placed in front of him, as if he were already asleep.
She couldn’t believe it… Was he really just letting her go?
She felt that something wasn’t quite right…
After thinking for a moment, Su Zixi placed her hand on his chest and clumsily drew a circle, softly calling, “Jingyao…”
The man quickly caught her hand and put it aside.
Throughout this process, his eyes were still tightly closed.
Su Zixi immediately realized that he hadn’t forgiven her, but was… angry…
How had she thoughtlessly agreed with his words just now? Didn’t she hear that this man was intentionally provoking her? And she had even nodded!
Su Zixi was immensely vexed, but how should she appease an angry He Jingyao?
Should she get up now and make another bowl of bean curd dessert? Definitely not… The same dessert had already been eaten by Ning Yichen, and making another would only make him angrier. She guessed she had to try something different, but she didn’t know how to make many things…
Su Zixi was conflicted as she thought about this, resting her head on his chest, staring longingly at his sleeping face.
In the past, this man would definitely hold her in his arms as they fell asleep, not lie neatly beside her, as he was doing now.
So, he was truly angry…
And since he was obviously sated, seduction probably wouldn’t work…
