Chapter 687: Chapter 687: Wanting a Title
She certainly hadn’t forgotten Ziyi, but just now, she really hadn’t thought of her…
“Of course I remember, that… How is she?” Probably because she felt guilty, her voice sounded a bit timid.
He Jingyao smiled faintly and hummed, “She’s doing quite well. These past few years, her mother has taken her almost all around the world. They just arrived in Yangdong City this morning; they might stay for a while.”
Zixi awkwardly uttered an “Oh.”
Actually, she really wanted to meet Liu Minjun and Ziyi, but in this situation, it seemed weird for her to meet them in any capacity.
He Jingyao glanced at her with a smiling eye, “You had quite a reaction just now… Are you jealous?”
“I am not!” She immediately retorted, her cheeks betraying her by turning red.
He Jingyao’s gaze darkened, and he suddenly reached out his hand, pulling her into his embrace, his voice deep and resonant in her ear, “Su Zixi, have you decided to make me bow to you, huh?”
He didn’t call her Miss Gu but… Su Zixi.
Zixi felt her ears start to heat up.
Her lips curled into a smile: “That’s right.”
“What if I don’t?” He Jingyao said leisurely.
She lifted her chin: “Then you’ll regret it.”
He Jingyao chuckled softly, pinching her earlobe and saying, “Let me guess what your backing is… could it be you’ve won Xiaobao over, huh?”
Zixi pursed her lips: “Pretty much…”
Anyway, the little one was still in her stomach. Wherever she went, the little guy had to follow.
He Jingyao looked deeply at her, ruffling her hair, his voice carrying a hint of amusement: “Very well, then I’ll see exactly what you’re going to do.”
Zixi grumpily swatted his hand away.
Did this man think she was playing a game with him?
She was seriously fighting for a pitiful bit of leadership! After all, this man was too much for her to handle, and she was never going to be his match. If she could make him yield first, then later, if they ever fought, she could at least say, “It was you who begged me to marry you,” and somewhat maintain her dignity.
Otherwise, wouldn’t she be completely at his mercy… Zixi thought, biting her lip.
Just then, the car stopped in front of the Shenyun Hotel.
She immediately reached for the door handle, and this time, the door opened smoothly, allowing her to promptly get out.
He Jingyao also got out of the car, walking them to the hotel entrance.
“Mr. He, please go back early. You have been working hard today,” Gu Bingjun said with a smile.
“You’re too kind,” he replied with a smile, then looked towards Zixi, his eyes faintly warm, “Goodbye, Miss Gu.”
“Um, do you want to see Xiaobao?” Zixi hesitated before asking.
He Jingyao appeared slightly surprised, then smiled lightly, “Not today. I’ll come pick him up tomorrow morning. I’ll let my mom and Ziyi meet him, no objections, right?”
Hearing this, Zixi hesitated for a moment.
“If you want, you can come along with Xiaobao.” He hooked a corner of his lips up, his smile faint, “They’d really like to see you.”
“In what capacity should I meet them?” Zixi pursed her lips, “Never mind.”
“Miss Gu, with you saying that, it makes me think you’re asking me for a status.”
“…Not at all!” Zixi immediately countered, “You come to pick him up tomorrow. I won’t go.”
With that, she turned and walked away!
Hmph, it was clearly this man who should be asking her for a status!
