Zhixi watched his figure disappear into the room, not coming to her senses for a long ti.
After a good while, she ca to her senses and felt shy, quickly getting dressed and changing the stained bedsheet, the heat on her face never fading throughout.
Soone seed to be getting more and more lewd...
No, he had always been lewd!
Zhixi gritted her teeth thinking about it, yet a smile couldn’t help but spill across her face involuntarily.
...Although he still refused to admit it, at least he hadn’t given up on her, that much she was certain of.
Moreover, his illness had healed, which ant that she would no longer hurt him...
Compared to this, nothing else mattered.
After taking a bath, Zhixi returned to her room without feeling the slightest bit sleepy, her emotions fluctuating between the joy and daze of dreams coming true and the uncertain fate of Lu Qixi.
At the sa ti, she couldn’t help but be curious... How did He Jingyao’s illness get cured?
...
Elsewhere, He Jingyao t up with Ning Yichen just outside a mansion in the suburbs of Yangdong City.
Ning Yichen’s complexion was a bit pale, but upon seeing He Jingyao, he still managed a forced smile, "Did I interrupt you guys?"
He Jingyao thought of the longing on that woman’s face at the end and let out a hoarse laugh, "She might be a bit angry... What’s the situation now?"
Ning Yichen gently shook his head, "I can only be sure that she’s being held here, but I have no way to get her out except by force..."
"What place is this?" He Jingyao raised an eyebrow.
"Fu Haitao’s ho." Ning Yichen’s expression was extrely gloomy.
He Jingyao’s expression darkened as well.
Ever since Zhuo Yuwei took office, Fu Haitao was considered his most loyal supporter, or rather, his henchman.
Fu Haitao was a man good at scheming; his talents were not particularly remarkable, but due to his firm support for Zhuo Yuwei, he had been appointed as Minister of Internal Affairs and been very prominent this past year.
It was no secret that he had a scandalous private life, but who would have thought he could commit such an act...
He Jingyao let out a cold laugh, "You go back. Leave this to ."
Ning Yichen gave him a look, sowhat worried, "This isn’t appropriate."
"It’s more inappropriate for you to confront Fu Haitao; after all, you’re the Chief Secretary next to the President. Are you planning on breaking with him right now?" He Jingyao’s voice was indifferent and calm, "As for , facing him because of a lover is sothing to be expected."
Ning Yichen frowned slightly, still disapproving.
But this was indeed the best approach for the mont. Publicly, he and Miss Leslie were still on a date. If Zhuo Yuwei found out that he confronted Fu Haitao over Qixi, it would be disadvantageous from any angle and add countless risks.
"Will you be in trouble?" he asked, not at ease.
He Jingyao laughed lazily, "If any scandal between Lu Qixi and I cos out, that would indeed be troubleso."
A certain woman was no longer the helpless little girl she used to be. If she really got angry, it would take so effort to appease her.
Ning Yichen’s mouth twitched helplessly, "I’ll help you explain when the ti cos.
He Jingyao smiled faintly and walked toward the brightly lit villa.
Watching his back, Ning Yichen let out a long breath, calming himself down.
Qixi... must be alright.
