“Since we’re strangers now, how do you know my name?” He gazed at her with his deep eyes. The smile on his lips was alluring. “Beautiful lady, I’ve fallen in love with you at first sight. May I have the honor to know your name?”

His voice was deep and seductive as always, especially when he used this tone with her.

Su Zhixi felt electricity course through her veins, from her heart to her fingers, from her hair to her toes.

She stared at the handsome face before her blankly. All she could hear was the pulsating of her heart.

He Jingyao reached out and caressed her cheeks.

Su Zhixi returned to her senses only then.

“I-I… He Jingyao, you…” She finally realized that she had fallen into a trap yet again.

“That’s right, I’m He Jingyao. And what is your name?” the man asked with a laugh.

Su Zhixi’s face looked crestfallen. “Su Zhixi…”

“Su Zhixi.” He repeated her name wryly. “So, I guess we know each other from now on, right?”

The girl nodded limply.

She was silly, really.

Why did she come up with that ridiculous request, for them to pretend not to know each other? Young Master He had many ways to go about solving a problem. Since they did not know each other, all they had to do was introduce themselves to each other.

From there, life goes on. The teasing, the harassing.

Su Zhixi felt that she had been troubled ever since she ran into the guy.

The enemy was too sly, she could not keep up with him… She was on the verge of crying.

“I’m not familiar with this area, but I would like to buy you a meal. Is there a place that you would recommend, Zhixi?” he asked with a smile.

Su Zhixi only felt hungry when she heard his words.

Su Lianxi had tricked her into going to the cafe when she was at the cafeteria earlier. She left before she managed to eat anything, and now she’d run into Young Master He.

Since she had prior experience with the man’s slyness and cunningness, she knew she had no chance against him. She might as well give in.

“There’s an eatery here, and their food is quite nice,” Su Zhixi said, swallowing her saliva.

He Jingyao immediately looked outside the car. “Uncle Li, to the eatery please.”

“Yes, Young Master,” Uncle Li replied respectfully.

Su Zhixi tugged on He Jingyao uneasily. “Er, are you going to empty out the place? Isn’t that too much trouble? It’s just a small eatery… How about you choose another place? I’m not picky.”

“It’s fine. Since you want to eat there, I’ll satisfy your cravings.” He Jingyao smiled and held her hand.

Su Zhixi felt warm and fuzzy.

At the same time, she was confused. Why was he being so nice to her after one accidental night? Besides, he did not seem like he was joking when he said that he wanted to marry her.

Given He Jingyao’s status and looks, he could have any girl that he wanted.

“Why is your hand swollen?” He Jingyao’s eyes turned dark.

Su Zhixi returned to her senses and saw that He Jingyao had his hand on her slightly swollen hand. “It’s from hitting someone,” she said smugly.

The man raised his eyebrows. “Your half-sister?”

“How did you know?” Su Zhixi was shocked.

He Jingyao pursed his lips. This woman was usually dense and a little cowardly. Other than her half-sister, she would never be this smug about hitting anyone.
