Chapter 74: Chapter 74 Take Your Time Drinking
Realizing he had been staring at her hand for quite a while, Ning Yichen felt slightly embarrassed. He quickly diverted his gaze, raising his cup and guzzling several sips, only to accidentally choke, coughing frantically!
Upon noticing this, Su Zixi immediately tore off a few tissues to wipe the spill for him, while her other hand patted his back, her tone tinged with mild reproach, “Drink slower.”
Ning Yichen struggled to regain composure, but the heat on his cheeks seemed to linger for a long time.
He definitely did not want to lose face in front of this woman, especially when hearing her admonishment. Although he wanted to retort, he felt that nothing he could say would be appropriate. He just put on an indifferent face and gently pushed Su Zixi away.
Su Zixi complied and let go of him, only taking the cup from his hand and handing him a few more tissues.
Ning Yichen silently accepted the tissues, suddenly feeling that this woman was quite adept at taking care of others.
On the contrary, Su Lianxi did not seem like someone who would take care of others. Ning Yichen often felt perplexed, pondering how a girl like Su Lianxi could have cared for him for three years, even washing him personally quite often.
Today, when he was ill, Su Lianxi only showed her face and then left.
No, he should not blame Lianxi. As the female lead fell into dismay, it was natural for her to be sad, and since he was unwilling to help her, there must be some resentment in her heart.
Ning Yichen excused his girlfriend’s negligence before finally saying to Su Zixi, “Thank you.”
“It’s nothing,” Su Zixi sat down on a stool next to him, supporting her cheek with her hand, looking somewhat absent-minded, not knowing what she was thinking about. Ning Yichen’s gaze uncontrollably drifted over, and for a moment, his heartbeat involuntarily quickened.
He quickly averted his eyes, a surge of self-reproach and annoyance flooding his mind.
However, Su Zixi did not notice Ning Yichen’s gaze. When she was daydreaming, the image of He Jingyao unexpectedly appeared in her mind without her consent.
No matter what the young master He looked like, he seemed to always exude a seducing aura. Remembering certain heart-fluttering scenes, she couldn’t help but cover her burning ears.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
But recalling that he already had a fiancée, Su Zixi’s heart was in turmoil… Her small face was filled with distress.
Lost in thought for half an hour, by the time she came back to her senses, it was nearly six o’clock.
She looked up, and saw Ning Yichen still intently looking at his tablet.
“Um, are you hungry? How about I go to the hospital’s cafeteria and get you some hot soup?” Su Zixi asked.
Ning Family, being a political dynasty rooted in the capital, Yangdong City, offered Ning Yichen the option to return to his family, yet he chose to stay in Yanzhou City all this time for Su Lianxi.
So much so that now, confined to bed, he found himself with just one assistant by his side. And even that assistant didn’t seem very reliable.
Ning Yichen pursed his lips, originally wanting to refuse, but alas, he was indeed already hungry.
“Alright, then I’ll trouble you,” he finally nodded.
Su Zixi revealed a rare smile, “Just a moment.”
Her smile seemed to carry a trace of knowing teasing, and Ning Yichen suddenly felt somewhat vexed.
But deep down, the dislike he had for Su Zixi was unconsciously dissipating quite a bit.
