Chapter 738: Chapter 738: A List of Young Talents Waiting for You to Choose
Zhixi was stunned for quite a while, then suddenly nodded, her voice somewhat choked, “You’re right… I’m sorry.”
He had gone this far, and if she still felt uneasy, it could only mean that she didn’t deserve this man, nor the love he offered.
In this world, nothing is permanent. Rather than fretting, she should think about how to make this happiness last longer, the longer the better, till the end of her life. Then all promises would become eternal.
…Of course, the way to keep it wasn’t by satisfying that kind of desire!
…But such desires were indeed essential.
At this thought, her cheeks suddenly felt scorching hot.
He Jingyao watched as she lowered her head in contemplation for a moment, her cheeks gradually growing redder.
“What are you thinking about?” He Jingyao slightly narrowed his eyes and lifted her chin, “They say pregnant women have stronger sexual desires, if you want… ”
“No!” Zhixi loudly protested.
He chuckled softly and then captured her chin, leaning in for a kiss.
Until his phone, placed on the table, suddenly rang.
He Jingyao then, breathing raggedly, released her and picked up the phone. The incoming call showed “Ning Yichen” on the screen.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, swiped to answer, and then turned on the speakerphone.
“Zhuo Yuwei knows,” Ning Yichen’s voice held a faint weariness, “That the Duke’s daughter is Su Zixi… as well as her relationship with Cheng Youlin’s family. Of course, he also knows that she’s your ex-wife.”
He Jingyao curled his lips, his tone carrying a hint of sarcasm, “It took him so long to find out? It seems his political sensitivity is really too poor to become President.”
Ning Yichen paused before saying, “But Duke Leslie hasn’t left yet, and Zhuo Yuwei probably won’t let him leave easily. Moreover, he will never let you marry the Duke’s daughter.” Read full story at ɴovelfire.net
Zhixi, upon hearing this, suddenly looked pale, and couldn’t help but glance at He Jingyao.
The man, however, did not show any displeasure, just lazily smiled, “He’s really meddlesome… Tell me, what does he plan to do?”
“It’s simple, an arranged marriage,” Ning Yichen said calmly, “Of course, not with you. Among his trusted candidates, Zhixi can freely choose someone to be her husband.”
After saying this, he added, “I am also on the list.”
He Jingyao flicked the table gently with his finger, “And if not?”
“Duke Leslie might not be able to leave, and he might face some danger…” Ning Yichen hesitated then added, “And the Duke has enemies in Country S too. It seems Zhuo Yuwei has reached an understanding with a certain high-ranking official there, and even if Mr. Duke applies for protection from Country S, they are likely to interfere. In short, it’s troublesome.”
“Alright, I understand,” He Jingyao said, then hung up the call.
Zhixi was furious, “…This is outrageous! Who I marry is none of his business! And besides, my father and I currently aren’t citizens of Country Z, what right does he have to stop us! He’s planning assassinations? Is this the President? More like the mafia!”
“See, you were worried about my continuing affairs,” He Jingyao said, teasingly pinching her chin, “Now you have a list of eligible young men waiting for you to choose, aren’t you tempted, hmm?”
