Su Zixi felt quite hurt.
But even though the pain made her tremble all over, she bit her teeth firmly and refused to make any sound.
After who knows how long, He Jingyao finally grunted and stopped, breathing heavily.
He reached out to hold her chin, gazing at her enduring face, he let out a light sigh and kissed her lips soothingly, "I’m sorry, I hurt you."
Su Zixi shook her head and hugged him tightly.
For some reason, the man’s rough and urgent movements just now seemed to give her a sense of sadness and despair...
"Jingyao..." she called his name hesitantly.
"Hmm?" The man’s dark eyes met hers, containing a hint of amusement, "Want more?"
Su Zixi’s face flushed red as she shook her head, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say.
She always felt that this man was hiding something from her, but what could possibly stump him?
"Don’t overthink it." He Jingyao lifted her chin, his voice hoarse, "I’m just worried that your body can’t take it, so I wanted you to rest well for a few days."
Su Zixi obediently nodded.
The man chuckled and carried her out of the bathroom.
After returning to the bed, he wanted her again, but this time he was much gentler.
In the midst of passion, He Jingyao looked at her alluring and flushed face and suddenly felt that none of those were issues.
If there ever came a day, at least she was by his side.
In a large shopping mall in Yangdong City, Su Zixi wandered aimlessly.
With Uncle Li and a bodyguard accompanying her, responsible for swiping the card and carrying bags, but both of their hands were empty since Su Zixi just looked around without really buying anything.
Su Zixi stood at the entrance of a brand store, her expression somewhat dazed.
Lately, He Jingyao seemed to have returned to normal, yet something was different.
For instance, he began to work regular hours, not avoiding her all day long, but he also didn’t work from home as much, and thus didn’t keep her company as before.
For instance, at night, he would certainly engage her in some loving activities, but never more than twice, ensuring she wouldn’t wake up every day with a sore back.
Other than that, this man was still tender with her, still took every opportunity to tease her.
It seemed she had nothing to worry about.
Su Zixi knocked on her head, reminding herself not to be too greedy.
"Young Mistress, what’s wrong?" Uncle Li promptly inquired.
Su Zixi quickly waved her right hand dismissively, "It’s nothing..."
Having said that, she picked up a set of clothes, "I’m going to try these on in the fitting room."
As Su Zixi held the clothes and headed to the fitting room, she came face to face with a haggard-looking middle-aged woman carrying several brand bags, looking down as she walked out.
"Lin Shuyue?" Su Zixi couldn’t help but blurt out.
Lin Shuyue looked up blankly, and seeing Su Zixi, her expression immediately turned extremely complicated.
"It’s you." She forced a smile, seeming to avoid her gaze and intending to walk away.
Su Zixi had not intended to get involved, but seeing Lin Shuyue, who used to be arrogant and domineering, looking so skittish, she instinctively asked, "... Did something happen to Lianxi?"
Seeing her , could it be that Su Lianxi really had gotten into serious trouble?
Lin Shuyue’s body suddenly shook, and she turned back to look at her angrily; "Stop pretending!"
