Chapter 656: Chapter 656: There’s No Spark Between You
Zhixi cried out in shock, “How did you get in here!”
She clearly remembered locking the door!
He Jingyao hooked up the corner of his mouth, shook the keys in his hand, then casually tossed them aside, and started walking towards her.
As he walked, he began to unbutton his coat.
Zhixi’s face flushed, and she instinctively stepped back, her back unwittingly pressing against the railing.
“Don’t come any closer! He Jingyao, you’re already well now, there are countless women for you to choose from, please leave me alone!”
Her voice was already choking, and the tears she had restrained all night finally could not be held back.
The man had already taken off his coat, glanced at her upon hearing her words, his long legs closing in, and he grabbed her wrist in one motion.
Zhixi struggled fiercely, but the anticipated harassment didn’t come, and suddenly she felt warmth over her —
He had draped his coat over her.
She was stunned for a moment, tears still at the corners of her eyes, looking somewhat comical.
He Jingyao let out a light laugh, “When have I ever not let you go, hmm?”
His voice in the night air had a husky, lazy quality to it.
Zhixi’s face flushed red all at once!
Just having seen him taking off his coat, she instinctively thought he was going to bully her again, but the man was only giving her his coat…
“You…” She bit her teeth, grateful that the burning heat on her face was quickly dispelled by the cold wind, “If that’s the case, please leave!”
“I was just looking for a place to rest, then the waiter gave me the keys to this room.” The man said with a nonchalant smile, “Miss Gu must not misunderstand, I did not come here specially because you were here.”
Zhixi felt the heat that had finally faded from her face rise once again.
Then, she must reckon it was another misinterpretation on her part.
“Fine, I’ll switch to a different lounge.” She spoke through clenched teeth, took the coat off her shoulders, and handed it back to him, “I dare not accept Mr. He’s kindness.”
He Jingyao looked at her, smiled, and took the coat.
Zhixi immediately bypassed him and returned to the room, then reached out to open the door—
However, the door wouldn’t budge.
She took a deep breath, twisted several times to no avail, and kicked the door hard in frustration.
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem with the lock?” His voice, tinged with mild mockery, came from behind her, “Do you need my help?”
Zhixi turned to face him, expressionless, “What a coincidence, the lock happens to have a problem after you come in.”
“Indeed, quite the coincidence.” He Jingyao said with a faint smile, seemingly oblivious to her sarcastic tone as he stepped forward, his tall figure suddenly looming over her.
His breath was familiar yet strange at her nose… Zhixi’s breathing quickened, her body tensing up.
“He Jingyao, stay away from me!”
“Miss Gu,” his voice was low and slightly husky, with a hint of ambiguity, “Ning Yichen is not suitable for you. Moreover, I can tell that there’s no spark between you two.”
Zhixi’s eyes turned red with anger, “That’s none of your business!”
“A passionless marriage won’t last, nor will it be happy.” He looked deep into her eyes, “Miss Gu, won’t you reconsider your choice?”
“No need, I think Ning Yichen is very good!” Zhixi said, word by word.
He suddenly chuckled, his dark, deep gaze falling on her lips, then subtly contracted.
Then, he reached out and touched her lips.
