Chapter 15: Chapter 15 I Do Not Accept
Editor: Atlas Studios

“I’m afraid I can’t pretend,” He Jingyao laughed quietly, his warm breath brushing against her cheek, sending a wave of tingling ambiguity, “In this world, you’re currently the only woman I can touch.”

Su Zixi froze.

The only woman he could touch? What did that mean?

The next second, the previously quiet room echoed with Huo Yanhui’s voice, always eager to stir trouble, “What the hell? Didn’t you say you didn’t settle it? How did you bring her here?”

But soon, Huo Yanhui’s voice vanished, as he received Huo Yanzhao’s warning to “shut up.”

He Jingyao gently scratched her palm with his thumb, speaking softly, “How about we go somewhere else?”

Su Zixi felt an itching sensation in her palm.

“No!” she said, blushing, “I still have work.”

“Hmm? It’s alright, I can wait for you to get off,” He Jingyao stared at her intently.

Su Zixi tried to pull her hand back but failed.

“Mr. He!” she said anxiously, her voice carrying a hint of urgency, “Our dormitory has a curfew, so I must leave before ten. I’m afraid I don’t have time…”

“Four Seasons Bar also has rooms, we can go there,” he laughed softly, his voice laden with implications.

Su Zixi flushed with anger and embarrassment, “Mr. He, what happened last night was just an accident. I don’t accept this kind of relationship…”

Did he think, after last night, she was the kind of woman who could easily sleep with a man?

“What kind of relationship?” He Jingyao asked curiously.

Su Zixi’s face reddened even more. After a moment of hesitation, she said with a fluttering gaze, “I… I don’t accept one-night stands, so you might have found the wrong person…”

A mischievous smile flickered in He Jingyao’s eyes but disappeared quickly, unnoticed by the flustered Su Zixi.

“Hmm? I was actually going to say, the hotel’s surveillance showed that last night you were brought to the hotel by two men, but they got the room wrong,” He Jingyao gave her a meaningful look, “I guessed you might be interested in seeing what those two looked like, so I invited you to watch the surveillance footage.”

Su Zixi’s face burned instantly, wishing she could find a hole to hide in!

Oh god, what was she thinking?

More embarrassingly, not only did she misunderstand, but she even said the words “one-night stand” out loud!

“However, if you have that kind of thought, I wouldn’t oppose it,” He Jingyao smirked.

“Absolutely not!” Su Zixi quickly denied, “Surveillance footage? That’s great! I will never let them off!”

She hurriedly put on an indignant face, but the blush on her cheeks betrayed her guilt completely.

He Jingyao remained outwardly calm, but inside he was thoroughly amused.

This woman was indeed very interesting.

Though he couldn’t physically touch women, over the years, from news and from his friends, he had gathered enough information to understand the opposite sex to some extent.

Huo Yanhui often bragged about how great women were, but he couldn’t experience it. In the past, He Jingyao never cared, but now he suddenly felt a little regret.

If only he had met her sooner.

“I’ll have them send the footage right away,” he laughed softly, “We can watch it in the next room.”

Su Zixi felt herself burning up again.

Why… did it sound so impure coming from his mouth… no no no, it must be her overthinking.

Su Zixi repented.
