Chapter 473: Chapter 473: He Jingyao, Stop Playing Dumb
He Jingyao swept her up in his arms and headed to the large bed!
“…You agreed?” Su Zixi asked excitedly.
“Let’s talk later…” The man’s hoarse voice replied, as he threw her onto the bed and bent over to seal her lips!
In the dining room, Li Bo felt that the atmosphere was somewhat off.
The young master seemed as usual, smiling gently, but the Young Mistress, who rarely woke up early, was enveloped in a low pressure, each bite of breakfast seemed like an expression of frustration.
After adding some coffee for He Jingyao, Li Bo consciously stayed away.
Su Zixi, noticing that there was no one else left in the dining room, angrily turned to someone: “You lied to me!”
He Jingyao was cutting bacon, looked up upon hearing this, and smiled as clear as the wind: “How did I deceive you?”
“You clearly said that as long as I…” Su Zixi’s face turned a weird shade of red and then she continued her accusation, “you would agree to let me attend the banquet!”
“As long as you what?” He Jingyao calmly inquired.
“He Jingyao, don’t play dumb!” Su Zixi glared at him irritably, “Anyway, I am definitely attending this banquet! See if you dare to keep me tied at home!”
He Jingyao’s eyes darkened: “Su Zixi, you’re becoming bolder. You think I wouldn’t dare to keep you tied at home?”
“You… you can’t do that…” Su Zixi’s face reddened with anger, “We are equals!”
“Hmm, if you can walk into the President Mansion by yourself, I’ll admit that we are equals,” He Jingyao hooked the corner of his lips.
Su Zixi frustratingly tousled her hair.
She was obviously trying to help him, so why wouldn’t he give her a chance!
“I… I’m not eating!” Su Zixi suddenly stood up, glared at him furiously, and then left the dining room.
He Jingyao remained unmoved, continuing with his breakfast.
After overhearing their conversation, Li Bo found it necessary to approach He Jingyao: “Young Master.”
“It was you who said something to her, wasn’t it?” He Jingyao glanced at him lightly.
Li Bo didn’t deny it: “Young Master, you protect the Young Mistress too much. I think she might be stronger than you think.”
“So what?” He Jingyao’s tone was cold, “I don’t need a strong wife.”
Li Bo smiled: “But the Young Mistress has to take up her duties. As the future lady of the house, there are some matters she needs to face alone. Young Master, if you truly care for her, you should give her this opportunity. Otherwise, the old master might have a difficult time accepting her and might even think the Young Mistress is holding you back…”
He Jingyao’s frown deepened, clearly displeased, yet he couldn’t ignore Li Bo’s words.
He understood the logic all too well, yet the biggest issue was that he could not be there.
Thus, the thought of this woman having to face alone a bunch of politically savvy elites, and possibly even people from the Ning Family, kept He Jingyao from stopping his worries.
After pondering for a while, he finally left the dining room, only to see Su Zixi sitting on the couch, her face full of loss.
He smiled helplessly, walked over, and held her in his arms: “Do you really want to go?”
She looked up at him and said earnestly, “Jingyao, I am your wife, right? Whatever happens, we should face it together, shouldn’t we?”
He Jingyao looked into her clear eyes, his throat suddenly tight.
“Yes, we are husband and wife,” he held her hand and said word by word.
