He Jingyao smiled when he saw the change in expression on her face. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing…” Su Zhixi smiled awkwardly, then sat back down. “That… I think you can tell me even if I’m sitting here.”

He Jingyao did not say anything. He eyed her, then picked his cup up for a sip of water.

Su Zhixi wanted to cry.

The man had made himself clear. He would not say anything if she did not agree to his request.

Su Zhixi took a deep breath and sat next to him. “Can you tell me know?” she said with a resigned expression as she glared at the man.

The smile in his eyes deepened.

He suddenly bent over and landed a kiss on Su Zhixi’s neck.

She shivered as she felt a fire course through her veins, starting from where his lips landed.

She covered her neck as her eyes widened in shock.

He Jingyao’s voice grew raspier. He pulled the girl into his arms. “Of course it’s because… I want you. I think I’ve made that very clear, right?” he said with a smile.

Su Zhixi’s face turned red. “Why?” she whispered.

“Because… you’re addictive.” He blew into her ear. “So, I want to sleep with you a second time, a third time… countless times.”

His voice was low and amorous. It was just a casual comment, but Su Zhixi felt like his body was already on hers…

Her face felt like it was cooking.

“I… I still don’t understand!” She tried to meet his eyes nonchalantly, but her eyes revealed her emotions.

After all that talking, he still did not answer her question. She refused to let him gloss over it!

“You’ll find out in the future. What about you? Why did you go to the Four Seasons Bar last night?”

Su Zhixi moved her gaze away unnaturally. “Nothing… I didn’t have anything to do…” She coughed.

“Short on cash?” He Jingyao hit the nail on the head.

Su Zhixi was a little embarrassed. “It’s nothing. Aren’t school fees due soon? I was a little short, just a little short.”

She even gestured with her fingers to indicate that it was a small amount.

He Jingyao looked at her deeply. “You wouldn’t have gone to the Four Seasons Bar if you had enough for your tuition, right?”

Su Zhixi nodded. Even though her job at the bar was particularly dangerous, she did not like the environment. But being a part-time bartender was the highest-paying job she’d ever had. When customers were generous with tips, she would earn a five-figure sum in a single night.

How else could she have been able to afford Ning Yichen’s medical bills in the last three years?

“Okay.” He Jingyao’s eyes darkened. “I don’t like you dressing like that either. I feel like gouging the eyes of the other men out whenever I think of how they get to see you like that.”

Su Zhixi’s eyes widened again.

She looked adorable, and He Jingyao could not help but laugh. “Okay, let’s eat.” He patted her on her head.

Su Zhixi nodded confusedly.

While they were eating, she was rather uneasy, afraid that he would hand her a check.

If that were the case, should she reject it, turn it down, or decline it…?
