Chapter 768: Chapter 768: He Seems to Dislike Her Very Much
“Fine,” He Jingyao said indifferently, “but get rid of this woman first.”
“It’s just one night, what are you afraid of?” He Yirong said with a gloating smile, “This girl is so timid, she won’t do anything to you.”
“Father.” He Jingyao’s voice was deep, as if suppressing anger.
“You haven’t eaten much for lunch or dinner.” He Yirong softened his tone, “I’ll have Hen Bing make you some supper. Eat with confidence, do you think I could drug you?”
Really, one after another suspects that he would use such methods; did they think he was so despicable?
He Yirong rubbed his chest, feeling that the day had indeed been exhaustingly tough. Although he had tricked the boy into returning under the guise of being ill, his own discomfort was real.
After instructing Hen Bing with a few words, he temporarily turned off the surveillance and went to rest in his room.
But as he walked away, he wondered what to do if Su Zixi, that woman, really was pregnant. It would be the He Family’s own flesh and blood—if they denied it due to fear of Zhuo Yuwei, that would be too spineless; He Yirong could not commit such an act.
However, remembering the fate of the He Family, he couldn’t help but be deeply worried…
In the study, the girl picked up the meal tray for the third time and placed it on the coffee table. But she no longer dared to speak up as she did the previous two times.
This time, however, He Jingyao took the initiative to walk over.
The girl sat frozen on the sofa, watching the man’s tall figure approach, nervously unsure where to place her hands or feet.
Throughout the day, the man had hardly looked at her directly, let alone walked over to the sofa area. Thus, when He Jingyao sat down opposite her, the girl almost forgot to breathe. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel※fire.net
She had always observed him from a distance, aware that the man’s appearance was extremely striking, but only upon examining him up close did she realize how shallow her previous understanding had been.
More than just striking, that intensely impactful face could almost suck away her soul in an instant… She stared at him dumbfounded, her mouth gaping like a fool.
He Jingyao glanced at her expressionlessly and began indifferently, “You go and sleep in the rest room, and don’t come out tonight.”
The girl heard his voice and hurriedly lowered her head, her cheeks unconsciously turning a bright red.
“Where… where will you sleep…” she asked tentatively.
In the study, there was only one rest room, one bed. If he offered the rest room to her, then he would have to sleep on the sofa…
“You don’t need to worry about that,” He Jingyao lifted the lid off the meal tray. Seeing her still motionless, his gaze turned cold, “I told you to go to the rest room, didn’t you hear?”
The girl then abruptly stood up from the sofa and hurried towards the rest room.
Of course, the rest room set up in the study wouldn’t be very large, but it was fully equipped and more than adequate for her to have a good rest.
Before closing the door, the girl stole another glance at the man’s profile, her heart pounding like a startled deer.
Even though he showed no fondness for her, he still offered the rest room to her…
She had been brought over by Hen Bing and was very aware of the fate she might face. Thus, after entering the study, she had been quite frightened. But at this moment, for some reason, she couldn’t hide her sense of loss.
It seemed he really didn’t like her.
The girl closed the door and covered her flushed cheeks, standing dazed, not knowing what to think.
Hearing the gentle sound of the door closing, He Jingyao nearly scoffed, the corners of his mouth lifting in a sneer.
