Chapter 471: Chapter 471: The Indestructible Cockroach
Ning Yichen’s expression was somewhat displeased, but he nodded anyway, “I will, thank you.”
“Then, I look forward to the honor of your presence in three days.” The court lady finished speaking and left without lingering.
After the court lady had left, Su Lianxi stared intently at the gold-embossed invitation, her face full of ecstasy.
It turned out that the madam had not abandoned her! The madam had sent her own court lady to personally deliver the invitation and even instructed Ning Yichen to make sure he brought her along. Wasn’t this a way of backing her and indirectly creating opportunities for her?
With this thought, all of Su Lianxi’s original worries and fears vanished! She wiped the tears from her face and raised a triumphant smile, “Ning Yichen, even if you despise me, I am still your wife.”
Ning Yichen stared at her with a gloomy gaze and after a long time, scoffed derisively, “Su Lianxi, you’re really like a cockroach that can’t be killed.”
He found it hard to imagine how this woman could be in despair one second and reveal such an expression the next.
In a certain sense, she was also a genius.
Ning Yichen sneered and went back to his room holding the invitation.
At this moment, Su Lianxi was no longer concerned about Ning Yichen’s attitude. She kept thinking about how, on that day, she would make a good impression on the madam to make her value Su Lianxi more.
Wanhe Qianfeng Garden.
The night was deep, and Su Zixi stepped out of the bath and saw He Jingyao behind the bookshelf.
Here, He Jingyao did not have a separate study; rather, the bedroom and study were connected.
He was obviously still working, rapidly browsing through web pages while talking on a Bluetooth headset.
Fearing disturbing his work, Su Zixi moved quietly, took away his coffee, and replaced it with milk.
He Jingyao caught this scene and raised his eyebrows at her.
Su Zixi remained completely composed.
He smiled slightly, lifting the corners of his lips, took off his headset, and gestured with his hand, “Come here.”
Su Zixi obediently walked over and sat on his lap, letting him embrace her fully.
He Jingyao kissed her cheek, “What’s the matter?”
Since he had come back that afternoon, this woman seemed preoccupied, and He Jingyao had been waiting for her to open up.
Embracing him, Su Zixi spoke softly, “Jingyao, has it been very hard for you?”
“There’s a bit more to handle just after arriving, but it will get easier in a few days.” He stroked her long hair and smiled lightly, “Or, are you feeling lonely? If you’re in a hurry…”
“No!” Su Zixi blushed and cut him off.
No matter when, this man always managed to steer the conversation in a less than innocent direction.
“I see you working so hard, so I want to help you.” Su Zixi held his hand, “After all, there’s not much for me to do here, so you can treat me like your secretary.”
He Jingyao chuckled softly, poking her cheek with his finger, “What’s really going on? You don’t just care about me without a reason.”
Su Zixi suddenly became anxious, “I’ve always cared about you! Are you saying I didn’t care about you before?”
He Jingyao, seeing her look so aggrieved she was almost crying, couldn’t help but laugh, “Yes, I know, you’ve always cared about me. I’ve felt your concern.”
Upon hearing this, Su Zixi felt somewhat embarrassed. Although she had always wanted to show her concern for him, with so many talented people around him, she had never really found an opportunity.
So, for this new energy project, she had to find a way to help him.
