Chapter 488: Chapter 488: Boundless Tolerance
Su Zixi heard his laughter, and it completely overwhelmed her!
“I… I mean it!” Su Zixi was both upset and anxious, tears falling down, “How can you call this progress? Stop teasing me…”
She was so upset she couldn’t speak, resting her head in the crook of his shoulder, overwhelmed by self-blame and guilt.
She knew she should have just listened to him obediently, why did she have to prove anything?
As a result, she had caused him trouble once again.
Thinking of this, her nose felt even sourer.
For the first time, Su Zixi felt that perhaps Ye Shutong was the one who should really be with him, not her…
He Jingyao saw her in such a state of self-accusation and was stunned for a long time.
He tugged at the corners of his mouth, trying hard to control his smile so as not to stimulate her further.
“It’s okay, I know you did your best, and it’s not your fault.” He Jingyao spoke soothingly, “Since the President’s wife has such an attitude toward you, it shows that the President is very angry with me, after all, it’s my fault.”
Upon hearing this, Su Zixi became even more upset, choking up as she said, “If you hadn’t come to see me…”
He Jingyao, feeling helpless, lifted her chin and firmly sealed her lips with a long, wet kiss until the woman in his arms completely softened, then he stopped.
The man’s voice was hoarse, “You silly woman, this matter no matter how you look at it, it’s not your fault. If it weren’t for Ye Shutong’s scheming and Huo Yanhui’s deception, how could I have offended the President? Those two are the real culprits, right?”
She knew He Jingyao was comforting her, but the more he did, the more she blamed herself.
Why… could this man be so good to her, with almost limitless tolerance?
Even if she stubbornly did the wrong thing, he didn’t take it to heart, as if it wasn’t a big deal at all.
Rather, it was the fact she caused him trouble that made him feel reassured.
Su Zixi hugged his neck tightly, her voice choked, “Jingyao…”
After she spoke, her tears surged out once again.
“Stop crying.” He Jingyao felt the wetness on his shoulder, feeling very helpless, “It really is just a small matter for me, trust me, hmm?”
“Hmm.” Su Zixi didn’t want to worry him further, so she obediently nodded her head.
He Jingyao lifted her tear-streaked face, his gaze deepening a bit, his voice hoarse, “If you really feel guilty, be a little well-behaved tonight, hmm?”
Su Zixi couldn’t continue crying, nor could she laugh, and involuntarily started hiccupping, looking completely comical.
He Jingyao couldn’t help but laugh softly, pulling out a wet wipe to dab her face, complaining slightly, “Your makeup is all smeared.”
Su Zixi quickly clamped her mouth shut.
After returning to Wanhe Qianfeng Garden, He Jingyao carried her back to the room and personally helped her wash her face and remove her makeup.
Su Zixi felt a bit embarrassed and repeatedly said she could do it herself, but he wouldn’t allow it.
He wiped her face with a towel, seeming to treat it as some kind of privilege.
Su Zixi could only let him rub her face back and forth.
Finally, He Jingyao was satisfied and put down the towel, saying, “There, clean now.”
After speaking, he chuckled softly, leaning in to capture her lips.
Su Zixi hugged his neck, obediently parting her teeth to let him explore deeply… After the kiss, both were breathless.
