Chapter 815: Chapter 815: The Most Beautiful Miss
He Jingyao saw her looking so disheartened and couldn’t help but laugh.
Zhixi was so angry she didn’t want to acknowledge him.
She thought of herself back when she was pregnant with Xiaobao… She really didn’t look good back then. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel~fire~net
All that talk about pregnant women being the most beautiful… it’s all lies!
He Jingyao curled his lips into a smile and walked over to embrace her from behind.
In the dressing mirror appeared the image of the two of them hugging.
“Even if you get fat and ugly, you’re still the most beautiful in my eyes,” he chuckled softly, “Don’t you know your man has an unconventional sense of beauty?”
Zhixi looked at him in the mirror, somewhat astonished, “Really?”
“Really,” he said with a serious tone, “So in my eyes, you’re a peerless beauty. No matter how pretty other women are, I don’t feel anything.”
“…But I wasn’t ugly to begin with,” Zhixi didn’t know whether to be happy or angry.
Even by normal standards, she was quite good-looking… Zhixi thought, conflicted.
“Isn’t it enough that I find you beautiful?” His eyes slightly narrowed, carrying a hint of danger, “Whose praise do you still want to hear?”
“I want other women to think I’m the most beautiful. That way, they’ll feel ashamed and stay far away from you,” Zhixi said with a sly grin, raising her chin proudly, “Like that La Jiao… I just think she’s not as pretty as me.”
He Jingyao suddenly burst into laughter and bent down to bite her neck.
“Alright, sleep now, my most beautiful lady.”
Huo Yanzhao came to Shanglin Bay again.
Not long after he pressed the doorbell, Aunt Wu came over to open the door for him.
“Sir,” Aunt Wu greeted him warmly, “Miss is working in the study, while the young miss has already gone to bed.”
“Alright,” Huo Yanzhao replied with a smile, changing his shoes before heading upstairs.
He went to his daughter’s room first. The little girl was hugging her favorite Monkey King doll, her face flushed red in sleep, her little tummy rising and falling.
Huo Yanzhao smiled tenderly, leaned down to kiss his daughter’s cheek, and tucked her in properly before turning to leave.
Next door was Yun Xuefei’s study.
He pushed open the door and immediately saw Yun Xuefei’s busy figure.
She seemed to be having some trouble; her eyebrows tightly knitted as she unconsciously bit down on the pen she had put into her mouth.
Huo Yanzhao couldn’t help but smile, “You’re biting the pen again.”
Yun Xuefei was startled by him, hurriedly putting the pen down, turning her head towards him, looking slightly embarrassed and annoyed.
“Why did you come at this hour? Didn’t I tell you to come during the day? It’s so late, our daughter is already asleep,” Yun Xuefei said with a hint of frustration, though her ears turned red.
“Daytime was too busy,” Huo Yanzhao said, smiling nonchalantly, “I’ll try to come during the day from now on.”
“You went to see our daughter, didn’t you?” Yun Xuefei seemed hesitant to meet his eyes, “You should go now, I don’t have time to entertain you.”
She turned her focus back to the design sketches in front of her, though her mind was a bit scattered.
She had clearly told Aunt Wu not to let Huo Yanzhao in if he came in the evening. Aunt Wu always smiled and said she would remember, but the next time, she still let Huo Yanzhao in.
Thinking of this, Yun Xuefei got even angrier. But she didn’t know who exactly she was mad at.
The last time she had been soft-hearted and the man had gotten his way, leaving her full of regret the next day, hence, she hadn’t been friendly to him these past few days.
