Chapter 845: Chapter 845: Waiting for You to Admire
Zhixi felt a little sorry for Pei Yuanchen… for him, this was really an unexpected disaster.
After all, Ziyi didn’t really understand relationships between men and women. She just simply found Pei Yuanchen interesting, so she wanted him to be her “husband”. However, in her mind, a husband was probably similar to a playmate.
Besides, Ziyi was innocent, and Pei Yuanchen was rather unreliable… He Jingyao definitely wouldn’t let his sister marry someone like Pei Yuanchen.
Thus, Zhixi prudently remained silent.
However, after finishing the meal, Ziyi regained her smile, seemingly putting the matter behind her.
Zhixi asked Ziyi to take Xiaobao for a nap, then sidled up to He Jingyao and whispered, “Um… what if Ziyi really likes Pei Yuanchen, what should we do?”
He Jingyao’s brows furrowed: “Then take her to an ophthalmologist!”
Zhixi couldn’t help but laugh. With a glance from He Jingyao, she wisely stopped, obediently going to take a nap.
After waking up, Zhixi saw He Jingyao sitting on the sofa with a laptop on his lap.
The sunshine in the living room was excellent, with fine rays coming through the window, casting on the edge of the sofa, making the man’s black hair shimmer with a faint gleam. Facing the sunlight, his prominent brow bones and straight nose seemed as if bordered with gold and even his usually deep black eyes glowed with a hint of gold.
Zhixi was captivated again, dazed for quite a while before she came to her senses.
He Jingyao sensed her movement, turned his head to look at her, with a hint of amusement in his gaze.
Zhixi quickly sat beside him, calmly asked, “You haven’t rested at all… what are you doing?”
“Sitting here waiting for you to wake up and admire me.” The man’s voice was husky and warm breath fell on her ear, “Seems like my looks are indeed enough to make my wife willingly take care of me, hmm?”
Zhixi’s cheeks slowly turned crimson.
“I was just dazzled by the sun…” she retorted stubbornly.
He Jingyao chuckled, leaned in to steal a kiss, then turned his attention back to the screen once more.
Zhixi was inevitably going to watch.
Then, Zhixi once again saw an email from the mysterious “x”.
The email was still a bunch of symbols she couldn’t understand at all.
Yet after He Jingyao finished reading it, his expression changed slightly.
He pressed his lips together, contemplated for a moment, then deleted the email.
“Jingyao, what’s wrong?” Zhixi sensed something was off.
Just then, He Ziyi woke up from her nap and greeted them.
“Ziyi.” He Jingyao looked at her, “Is Dad home today?”
“Dad?” Ziyi shook her head, “He went to Lingdu for a meeting today. I’ve heard Lingdu has many towering mountains and the scenery is particularly beautiful. Dad even asked if I wanted to go with him.” Official source ıs 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍
“When did he leave?” He Jingyao asked in a serious tone.
Ziyi, sensing He Jingyao’s tone was off, replied a bit timidly, “I think… it seems like it was the afternoon… yes, the three o’clock flight.”
He Jingyao checked the time; it was already past three, the plane was probably already in the air.
He immediately picked up his phone to call Feng Qian.
After hanging up, He Jingyao opened a webpage, quickly browsing something. A few minutes later, he closed the laptop, grabbed his coat, and stood up. While putting on his coat, he headed out: “I have to go to Lingdu for a bit. Be good at home. Call me if anything happens, okay?”
