Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Is This Your Loyalty?
Su Zixi sat on the man’s lap, her body stiff, staring wide-eyed as she faced him.
To describe her expression as “prepared to meet her death” wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
He Jingyao chuckled softly, gripped her waist and gently lifted her, bringing her closer to himself. Su Zixi’s upper body lost balance, involuntarily falling into his arms!
Her heart thudded wildly, her cheeks almost burning up, yet she pretended to maintain a righteous and enduring demeanor, “Is this enough? Can my companions go for their internships now?”
He Jingyao’s gaze darkened.
Seeing her like this only made him want to tease her more.
“No,” his voice grew husky, “you doubted my loyalty, which displeased me greatly.”
Su Zixi looked at him incredulously!
Loyalty? Had she heard wrong? Did this man even know the meaning of loyalty?
“Su Zixi.” He Jingyao knew what she was thinking the moment he saw her expression; his look became dangerous, “Did you take none of my words seriously? You believed a woman who came out of nowhere claiming to be my fiancée?”
Su Zixi suddenly felt a bit guilty.
This man apparently had said many things that she hadn’t taken seriously because they were…incredible.
Like when he said that the night they spent together was his first time… Seeing how adeptly he flirted with her, Su Zixi couldn’t bring herself to believe it!
But what if he was telling the truth?
Her gaze grew more incredulous.
Guessing what she was thinking, He Jingyao flashed a charming smile, “That’s right, you’re just that lucky. It’s rare to find a man as loyal and simultaneously handsome and wealthy as me in a thousand years. Are you happy now?”
“Happy… Happy…” Su Zixi stuttered, her mind a bit dizzy.
A once in a thousand years occurrence? Wasn’t he boasting a bit too much!
In the past, there was even the famously virtuous Liu Yihui! But this man?
Su Zixi could distinctly feel that a certain unspeakable part of the man… had already started to change, boldly declaring its presence!
She was extremely embarrassed, “He Jingyao! Is this your loyalty?”
“Exactly,” he laughed softly, and blew a breath into her ear, “It is greeting you. It listens only to you and feels only for you.”
Su Zixi felt like crying, her small hand pressing against his firm chest, “Let’s… let’s talk business instead?”
The man’s gaze narrowed and then he pulled out a blank check from the table, stuffing it into her shirt pocket, of course accidentally touching her chest which was somewhat understandable.
“Take it and fill in any amount you want,” he said casually. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Su Zixi widened her eyes, “Really? I can fill in a million?”
He Jingyao laughed, “You could fill in ten million or a hundred million. The one thing I’m not short of is money.”
Su Zixi was again overwhelmed, her heart pounding.
“I… I wouldn’t fill in that much…” Su Zixi’s palms sweated, feeling like she had been hit by a huge pie.
He Jingyao saying he was rolling in money was something Su Zixi didn’t doubt. After all, just the taxes HI Corporation paid annually accounted for twenty percent of Yanzhou City’s fiscal revenue! No wonder the He Family was so influential in Yanzhou City!
“Alright, now that business is taken care of,” He Jingyao lowered his voice, “let’s continue.”
