Chapter 342: Chapter 342 You Are Not a Guest

Su Zixi huffed in frustration, “Anyway, you never held back from demanding ‘thank you gifts’…”

He put the glass back on the table, his voice low and slightly hoarse, “Speaking of which, do you still remember what you owe me?”

Su Zixi shrank her neck, “I don’t remember… Oh, I still have an evaluation report to write, I’m off to work now, haha!”

With that, she tried to slip away.

He Jingyao caught her wrist in one swift motion and pulled her back, “The application has already been released, your work is on a break for now.”

Su Zixi: “…”

Damn! She forgot he was her boss! How could she hide her project progress from him!

“I still need to study…” Su Zixi continued to struggle, “I just copied notes from Yushan today.”

“Your homeroom teacher said you don’t have to attend the midterms, you just need to pass your major subjects at the end of the term,” He Jingyao smiled.

Su Zixi gritted her teeth, “…I want to watch movies, I’ve saved a bunch of movies I haven’t watched!”

“That’s easy to handle,” He Jingyao said leisurely, “How about I watch them with you?”

Su Zixi instinctively wanted to refuse, but as the words approached her lips, she suddenly realized–watching movies together… what a great date idea!

She and Jingyao had never really been on a proper date! If the times they spent in bed weren’t counted…

At that thought, she couldn’t help but feel excited, “Okay, let’s watch the movies together!”

…

It was only now that Su Zixi realized that the third floor of Hades Manor actually housed a small cinema. She knew it was full of entertainment facilities, but she had never been there before.

Speaking of which, He Jingyao’s recreational life was quite sparse. As far as she could remember, she hadn’t seen him on the third floor either.

Heh, his entertainment nowadays is probably her… Su Zixi thought with a sheepish grin.

Pushing open the door, Su Zixi saw a screen large enough for a home cinema and several rows of sofas that looked incredibly comfortable, and she instantly became excited, “This place is amazing! Can I come here often from now on?”

Watching movies on a computer lacked atmosphere, but watching them in a cinema with a bunch of people was uncomfortable. If she could watch movies here from now on… just the thought was thrilling!

“Of course, you can,” He Jingyao watched her excitement, his gaze filled with a hint of amusement, “Su Zixi, have you forgotten? This is also your home, so you don’t need my permission.”

Su Zixi nodded blankly.

He Jingyao suddenly felt a pang of affection. Although she had moved in for over a month, even though their hearts were aligned, she had yet to truly view herself as the mistress of the house.

So she would never barge into a room, always habitually seeking his or Uncle Li’s consent first.

He Jingyao thought for a moment, walked over to sit with her on the sofa, and said seriously, “The servants in the villa are managed by Uncle Li. If they make a mistake or offend you, you can tell Uncle Li to fire them. If Uncle Li refuses to listen to you, go ahead and fire him, find a new butler.”

Su Zixi’s eyes widened, and she quickly waved her hands, “I couldn’t possibly do that! I won’t!”

“Don’t rush. I know you won’t make unilateral decisions, I just want you to understand that you have this power,” He Jingyao’s voice was deep, his gaze tender, “You are my wife, not a guest. Even outside your room, you can do as you please.”
