Chapter 789: Chapter 789 Mr. He is handsome and affectionate, greatly winning my heart
Ning Yichen laughed, “Good, he should be very satisfied with this outcome.”
He Jingyao sneered lightly, “He definitely won’t believe it.”
“On the contrary, I think he’s very willing to believe,” Ning Yichen paused and added, “you indeed put a lot of pressure on him. I reckon he also regrets being too aggressive with Zhixi last time, which resulted in such a strong backlash. His election funding is all on the Ye Family’s shoulders—if Ye International is beaten down to its last breath by you, no other major financial groups will sponsor him.”
He Jingyao smiled faintly.
“By the way,” Ning Yichen glanced at Zhixi again, “if your father wants to leave Yangdong City now, Zhuo Yuwei will certainly not refuse.”
Upon hearing this, Zhixi breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but smile, “That’s great.”
He Jingyao stroked her head with a smile.
“I should go,” Ning Yichen said as he was about to leave.
“Wait a second,” Zhixi suddenly remembered something, “Last time I was forced to go out with Zhuo Han, it was Qixi who helped me escape. I later sent her a WeChat message, but she never replied. Is she all right?”
“Her phone was confiscated by me, so it’s not that she doesn’t want to reply to you; she just can’t see it,” Ning Yichen’s smile carried a different meaning, “Don’t worry, she’s doing quite well.”
“You confiscated her phone…” Zhixi looked puzzled, “You guys…” ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel※fire.net
“I’m in a hurry,” Ning Yichen didn’t give her a chance to ask more questions and hastily left the study.
Zhixi stared blankly at his retreating figure.
He Jingyao pulled her into his embrace, his expression carrying a hint of danger, “Are you feeling down seeing an old flame with a new lover?”
“What are you talking about…” Zhixi was speechless at his sudden jealousy, “I never even started anything with him, okay? Besides, that was such a long time ago…”
“Luckily you never started anything,” He Jingyao snorted coldly.
Otherwise, he would never have allowed these two to meet.
Zhixi poked him, “Humph… my history with Ning Yichen… You’ve played a part in that too.”
“Correct,” he replied with a touch of pride.
Zhixi was momentarily speechless.
The next day, accompanied by He Jingyao, Zhixi took Xiaobao to meet Gu Bingjun, who then left Yangdong City.
But as he left, his expression carried a tinge of regret. Zhixi understood his unresolved feelings, and promised with a smile that she’d definitely visit Chu Jinyu. Only then did Gu Bingjun’s frown ease.
After seeing off Gu Bingjun, Zhixi finally took a deep breath of relief. Otherwise, she would have always felt that it was because of her that Gu Bingjun had had to stay in Yangdong City.
He Jingyao suddenly pulled her into his arms, chuckling softly, “Why doesn’t Miss Gu accompany your father back? Who are you lingering for?”
Zhixi hugged him tight, her eyes smiling, “Mr. He is handsome and affectionate, winning my heart, so I couldn’t bear to leave. I decided to stay.”
The man’s gaze deepened, and he kissed her openly.
Xiaobao, held by He Ziyi, covered his eyes at the sight, “Oh my.”
But Ziyi was a bit perplexed, “Xiaobao, what’s wrong?”
“Auntie, avert your eyes from impropriety,” he replied.
“But I kiss you often too,” Ziyi wondered.
“It’s not the same,” Xiaobao sighed, “Auntie, you’re so silly.”
He Ziyi became even more confused.
However, what Zhixi hadn’t anticipated was that, after returning to Lugang, the peaceful life she had envisioned was quickly disrupted by an uninvited guest.
