I Break Tycoon's Immune Barrier

Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Subtle Concern

Li Bo smiled without a word.

Su Zixi had already gotten her answer from his smile.

It wasn’t just the sudden rise in the cafeteria’s standards, but also various promotions and free meals… In fact, none of it was her luck.

Su Zixi, emotionally overwhelmed, took a long time before she choked up and said, “Li Bo, I’ve troubled you…”

“It’s just a small matter, Young Mistress, you shouldn’t worry about it.” Li Bo smiled slightly, didn’t say much, and turned away.

However, Su Zixi’s emotions could not calm down.

She suddenly recalled the time they first met, when she was worried about tuition fees, and He Jingyao had let her win a big prize.

It was the same this time. She had left Hades Manor with almost nothing, and He Jingyao knew, yet his care was so subtle.

Tears seemed on the verge of collapse… Su Zixi took a deep breath, holding back the tears.

But the emotions brimming within her were already about to spill over.

A sudden impulse surged through her.

This impulse was so strong… By the time Su Zixi realized it, she had already rushed up to Li Bo, “Li Bo, I want to go to the company, could you have the driver take me there?”

Li Bo didn’t seem surprised at all, smiled and said, “Of course.”

…

The car stopped at HI Group, and Su Zixi immediately jumped out.

He Jingyao had left ten minutes before her, he should already be in his office… These thoughts flashed through Su Zixi’s mind as she rushed to the elevator, entered the password, and waited for it.

Soon the elevator doors opened, and then… she saw He Jingyao.

He was accompanied by two assistants, holding documents, apparently preparing to leave.

The moment he lifted his head and saw her, his pupils suddenly dilated.

Su Zixi also stared blankly at him… She knew she must look silly at that moment, but she couldn’t care less about that; right now, she just wanted to gaze at him, her eyes nearly greedy.

He Jingyao’s gaze darkened, he waved his hand slightly, and the two assistants immediately left the elevator.

He Jingyao dragged Su Zixi in and held her tight, his brows slightly furrowed, “What’s wrong?”

The familiar scent brought her back to her senses and also made her belatedly shy… How was she to explain this? Should she say that she suddenly, very much wanted to see him, to hold him?

Su Zixi tightened her hold around his waist, burying herself in his embrace, and said hoarsely, “…it’s nothing.”

The man’s gaze still held a hint of suspicion. He really couldn’t think of any reason that could explain her sudden appearance; based on the timing, she had followed him to the office immediately.

Su Zixi lifted her head to look at his expression, and despite feeling shy, she had to speak up, “I… I just missed you…”

Otherwise, this man would surely come up with all sorts of bizarre speculations…

He Jingyao’s eyes deepened, his fingers touching her cheek, “Really?”

“…Really,” Su Zixi’s voice still trembled a bit, but it was utterly firm, “I just want to be with you!”

His gaze suddenly turned intense, heating up his body and fingertips.

The next second, he pinned her against the elevator wall and kissed her forcefully. Su Zixi’s heart trembled, and she gently tiptoed to meet his kiss… Fortunately, the elevator doors had already closed automatically, so no one would see this scene… she thought hazily.
