Chapter 23: Chapter 23: You Can Trust Me

He stood behind Su Zixi, watching her childish actions, and couldn’t help but let out a light laugh.
This woman was just too cute.
Although he had just relieved himself, seeing her foolish expression made his heart warm again.
Su Zixi heard his laughter, lifted her head, and saw his impeccably dressed self in the mirror… The scene from just now flashed in her mind again, and her cheeks, which had finally cooled down, blushed once more without surprise.
This is driving me crazy!
She irritably continued to splash cold water on her face.
Finally, when she calmed down and walked out, the large LCD TV in the living room was already on.
He Jingyao was sitting on the sofa, legs crossed, with one hand casually resting on the back of the sofa… Su Zixi was a bit dazed. Honestly, even that not-so-elegant action seemed graceful and casual when he did it.
Seeing that she had finally decided to come out, a hint of amusement flashed in He Jingyao’s eyes.
He beckoned her with his finger, his voice incredibly seductive, “Come here.”
Su Zixi was about to walk over, but hearing his voice made her heart skip a beat and her steps halted.
He Jingyao picked up the remote control on the coffee table and pressed a button. Immediately, the television started playing surveillance footage.
Su Zixi immediately forgot about everything else, jogged over to sit beside him, and looked up at the screen, not blinking.
It was the corridor’s surveillance. For now, it was still empty. Su Zixi noticed the time in the upper right corner was 10:15 p.m. the previous night.
She had been knocked out around 9:30. Forty minutes were enough for Su Lianxi to bring her to the hotel. Maybe someone would soon appear in the footage.
Thinking of this, Su Zixi couldn’t help but clench her fingers.
Suddenly, a steaming cup of milk appeared in front of her. Su Zixi instinctively took it and said, “Thank you.”
Then she lifted the cup and took a sip.
He Jingyao chuckled helplessly, “Su Zixi, aren’t you afraid I might have drugged it?”
Su Zixi’s body stiffened! The milk in her mouth became hard to swallow or spit out.
He Jingyao couldn’t help but laugh again.
He pulled her closer to him, “Seeing how foolish you look, it’s no wonder you got taken advantage of yesterday.”
Su Zixi was also blaming herself. How could she not learn her lesson? Though she didn’t think He Jingyao would harm her, people are complex. She and Su Lianxi had been sisters for many years, and even though their relationship wasn’t good, she never thought Su Lianxi would plot against her.
This just shows how unpredictable people’s hearts can be.
“But it’s okay, you can trust me.” He Jingyao’s gaze suddenly became focused and deep, “I will never hurt you.”
She was the only woman in his life, no matter the cost, he had to protect her.
He Jingyao suddenly realized he couldn’t imagine life without her. Despite not having been with a woman for the past twenty-five years and having become accustomed to that life, he now refused to go back to that state.
And for Su Zixi, even though they had only known each other for just one day, to He Jingyao, she had already made him experience unparalleled happiness and fulfillment.
That was not just physiological, but also psychological.
