Chapter 60: Chapter 60: An Unbreakable Bond
Editor: Atlas Studios
"Oh, who is he?" He Jingyao narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Su Zixi immediately froze.
Of course, she couldn't say Ning Yichen's name, but other than Ning Yichen, she couldn't think of any other man's name.
Facing the man's ambiguous gaze, Su Zixi retorted, "Anyway, there is such a person. My feelings for him are unbreakable, so please don't bother me anymore!"
He Jingyao laughed angrily.
Even though he knew she was talking nonsense, it still made him very uncomfortable.
Especially considering that she might not be completely over Ning Yichen.
As soon as Su Zixi spoke, she regretted it. She avoided the man's increasingly intense gaze guiltily. Suddenly, the sound of a vibrating phone broke the tension in the room.
This abrupt ring was a relief for Su Zixi. She looked pleased, "It's your phone."
He Jingyao took a glance at her, letting her off temporarily, stood up, walked to the side, pulled out his phone from his coat, and answered it.
Su Zixi saw that after the man said "Hello," he stopped speaking. She didn't know what the person on the other end said, but his face grew darker and darker.
When he hung up the call, Su Zixi couldn't help but feel a sense of dread.
She saw the man's gaze fall on her once again, deep and unfathomable.
Su Zixi clenched her fists nervously. She didn't even know why she felt so tense.
He Jingyao walked up to her again, bent down, and held her hands, smiling slightly.
However, that smile carried a hint of coldness.
"You were willing to give up the competition to send Ning Yichen to the hospital?" the man gently opened his mouth.
Su Zixi trembled all over, her eyes wide open in shock.
"You think you have a chance to be with him, so you're eager to draw a line with me, hmm?" He Jingyao said, extending a hand to softly caress her chin, his eyes growing darker and deeper.
Su Zixi opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word. This version of He Jingyao seemed exceptionally dangerous, instinctively instilling fear in her.
She unconsciously scooted back, her posture guarded.
He Jingyao's pupils narrowed slightly.
He had thought that her supposed affection for someone was just an excuse to brush him off. Now it seemed, it was likely true.
That's why she was suddenly resisting him.
Fine, really fine. One lapse, and this woman had already hooked up with her old flame!
He Jingyao felt a blaze of anger and desire rise within him! He had always believed that this woman would eventually fall into his hands, so he had never been impatient. He teased her bit by bit, watching her defenses crumble under his assault... but as soon as Ning Yichen showed some kindness, this woman immediately wanted to draw a line with him!
Out of anger, his eyes turned as dark as ink. His thin lips tightened, gripping her jaw more fiercely.
Su Zixi moaned in pain, involuntarily explaining, "No... it's not like that. He got injured saving me, so I took him to the hospital... It was what I should have done. I would have done the same for anyone who saved me!"
"So, are you saying that this 'person you like' isn't him?" The man's voice was low and restrained, filled with anger.
Su Zixi bit her lip. She knew she should nod in agreement, but if she did, how could she explain herself?
She hesitated for a moment.
But her hesitation, in He Jingyao's eyes, became concrete proof that she couldn't forget about Ning Yichen.
