Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Punch Him
Su Zixi sat on the sofa, staring at the table full of dishes but had no appetite. After what seed like a long ti, He Jingyao finally ca back.
Seeing him co in, Su Zixi abruptly stood up to greet him, “Jingyao!”
“Why aren’t you eating?” He Jingyao hugged her tightly, his expression seemingly quite good.
“What were you doing?” Su Zixi bit her lip, concerned, “You… what did you do to your second uncle?”
“I just punched him once,” He Jingyao said with a slight smile. “If he dares to bother you again, feel free to slap him back without hesitation.”
Su Zixi was speechless!
Punch… just a punch? Could that really be okay?
That was his uncle!
Seeing her eyes widen, He Jingyao pinched her cheek, and his face darkened, “Su Zixi, listen, you are my wife, and no one is allowed to bully you, not even my family mbers!”
Su Zixi stared at him, suddenly feeling an urge to cry.
“Although He Yizheng is my second uncle, we didn’t grow up together, so to , he is no different from other senior executives in the company,” He Jingyao said with a cold sneer. “But I really didn’t expect his audacity to reach such a level that he would dare to touch you.”
Su Zixi’s lips moved, and she couldn’t help but speak, “Jingyao, you…”
She wanted to ask if he really only saw her as a tool for venting desires…
“Hmm?” He Jingyao’s gaze softened, even encouraging.
Under such a gaze, Su Zixi found herself unable to ask anything…
She couldn’t expect too much… he had already been good enough to her, and to ask for more would be too greedy.
With that thought, she slowly began to smile, “It’s nothing, let’s eat.”
He Jingyao looked deeply at her for a long while before responding faintly.
…
After lunch, Su Zixi took a nap in the resting room of He Jingyao’s office, while He Jingyao stood by the window, seemingly deep in thought.
Adam ca up to him and said softly, “President, I found out that shortly after the Young Mistress entered the tea room, Mr. He also went in. A while later, when the Young Mistress ca out, according to those who saw her, she seed bewildered.”
He Jingyao’s brow slightly furrowed.
Su Zixi thought she had hidden it well, but her several hesitations convinced He Jingyao that He Yizheng must have said sothing to her.
“Also, there’s another thing,” Adam continued, “After the Young Mistress left, Miss Xia happened to go into the tea room…”
“Xia Xinyu’s office isn’t on that floor, is it?” He Jingyao raised his eyebrow slightly.
“Yes.”
He Yizheng and Xia Xinyu.
He Jingyao lightly stroked his brow and suddenly smiled.
He had always found Xia Xinyu’s undying loyalty quite unreasonable, but now… he seed to have a reasonable explanation.
The appearance of Su Zixi also seed to have unsettled so people, revealing once well-hidden agendas.
Having been extraordinarily talented from a young age and his position as the heir to HI nearly unshakeable, he had never realized that what was trivial to him was highly desirable to others.
He waved Adam away and walked to the resting room. On the cramped single bed, Su Zixi was curled up sleeping uneasily, her brow furrowed tightly, biting her lips even in her sleep.
