Chapter 111: Chapter 111 His Second Uncle
Su Zixi’s heart skipped a beat, feeling as though she had been caught committing a misdeed.
She instinctively flashed him a smile!
“You must be Zhixi, right?” the man said with a smile as he looked at her.
Su Zixi was surprised, “You know ?”
“I see you were heading to the top floor; that’s Jingyao’s office,” he said with a smile, extending his hand towards her, “I’m He Yizheng, Jingyao’s younger uncle.”
Su Zixi’s mouth fell open in astonishnt!
She knew He Jingyao had an uncle, but she never imagined that his uncle would be so young—he hardly looked much older than He Jingyao!
“Hello…” She extended her hand in a daze and shook his briefly, still sowhat in a stupor.
Her bewildered expression seed to amuse He Yizheng, and the smile in his eyes deepened, “I just congratulated him this morning and asked when I might have the chance to et you. I didn’t expect to run into you so soon. Jingyao is a lucky man.”
He Yizheng’s voice was incredibly magnetic, and his smiling manner gave off the illusion of being exceptionally tender and intimate.
Su Zixi couldn’t help thinking that she was fortunate to have been teased by Mr. He so often lately, which had built up her resistance; otherwise, she would have been utterly defenseless.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, she said, “Oh, it’s my good fortune, not his.”
No sooner had she finished speaking when the elevator suddenly stopped. Su Zixi, in her high heels, lost her balance for a mont. As she was about to reach for the elevator wall, He Yizheng swiftly extended his hand to steady her!
Su Zixi, as he held her by the waist in such a manner, found herself collapsing into his embrace due to her already unsteady center of gravity!
“Be careful,” He Yizheng’s voice, tinged with a trace of amusent, sounded above her head.
Su Zixi was extrely mortified!
In reality, she had only swayed a little, and even without He Yizheng’s intervention, she would not have fallen.
But since He Yizheng had acted out of kindness, she didn’t feel it was appropriate to say anything. She quickly extricated herself from his embrace and, with a flushed face, said, “I’m fine… Thank you, Uncle.”
“That’s good to hear,” He Yizheng’s voice remained gentle, “What about Jingyao? How could he let you co to the company by yourself?”
“Uh… it’s not his fault, I ran out first thing in the morning,” Su Zixi felt even more embarrassed.
“What? Did Jingyao bully you?” He Yizheng looked at her seriously, his tender gaze seemingly teasing, “After all, I am Jingyao’s uncle. If he has bullied you, you can always co to . I will definitely see justice done for you.”
“Ah? No, no, Jingyao hasn’t bullied ,” Su Zixi smiled awkwardly and unconsciously leaned against the wall.
For so reason, He Yizheng’s overly tender and considerate deanor made her feel uncomfortable.
He Yizheng, of course, understood her obvious defensive posture.
There was a flicker in his eyes, and his tone beca sowhat self-deprecating, “I was too presumptuous. Jingyao has never had much to do with girls, so I was worried he wouldn’t know how to behave.”
Never had much to do with girls? Su Zixi’s eyes widened slightly, a hint of confusion rising in her heart.
However, even so, when He Jingyao teased her, he didn’t seem the least bit inexperienced.
Therefore, Su Zixi shook her head with a smile, “No… Jingyao is very kind to , thank you, Uncle.”
“Glad to hear it,” He Yizheng smiled again, “This is my stop, see you later.”
“Goodbye.” Su Zixi quickly waved goodbye to him and watched as He Yizheng and the few n with him left the elevator. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
