Chapter 16: Chapter 16 Bewitchment
Editor: Atlas Studios

Huo Yanzhao and the other two fell silent, entering a “watching a show” mode and exchanging meaningful looks.

They had never seen He Jingyao interacting with a woman before. It was truly refreshing.

Especially this scene. He Jingyao was clearly flirting with the girl.

His technique was surprisingly advanced.

“Didn’t see that coming. This guy actually has some talent,” Huo Yanzhao commented.

Huo Yanhui nodded, “It seems like all these years, he has learned quite a bit of seduction skills from me.”

However, Yun Shenhan’s expression was somewhat unpleasant. He kept staring at the two of them, his face looking rather somber.

He had a handsome and gentle appearance and was the most good-tempered among them. Such an expression was rare for him.

Huo Yanzhao looked at him, originally intending to comment on the scene together, but unexpectedly saw his uncharacteristic loss of composure.

Huo Yanzhao’s eyes widened in surprise!

Suddenly, Yun Shenhan picked up his glass and downed the cocktail in one gulp, his expression returning to calm.

“They’re leaving,” he said softly.

Huo Yanzhao then turned his gaze to the other two. Sure enough, He Jingyao was grabbing Su Zixi’s wrist, striding towards the private room’s door.

“Hey, why are they leaving!” Huo Yanhui, who was watching with great interest, was very dissatisfied at the sight.

He understood He Jingyao’s urgency, but since he brought the person here, it would be too much not to introduce her at least. He couldn’t believe he was just taking her away without even a greeting!

Too much! This guy who values love over friendship!

Risking He Jingyao’s revenge, Huo Yanhui stood up to block them, but was tripped by his brother and nearly fell.

He glared at Huo Yanzhao angrily, “Why? Don’t you want to get to know that woman?”

“No need. Shenhan must know her, and they’re not strangers,” Huo Yanzhao put his glass on the table, staring intently at Yun Shenhan, “Right?”

Huo Yanhui keenly sensed the atmosphere was off and immediately kept quiet.

Yun Shenhan finally spoke, “This girl is a junior schoolmate of Xuefei. When she was looking for a part-time job, Xuefei recommended her to me. Xuefei said she’s a good girl, so I wasn’t allowed to have any improper thoughts. Therefore, I’ve never made any moves.”

Su Zixi moved his heart, but she wasn’t someone he could casually provoke. So, he only cared for her in secret, never expressing any feelings.

Huo Yanzhao looked at him deeply, “But now, she’s already Jingyao’s woman.”

Yun Shenhan’s voice turned hoarse, “I know.”

If Su Zixi is the only woman He Jingyao can touch in this world, even if Yun Shenhan only had a little crush on her, even if Su Zixi was already his, he might not be able to hold on to the end.

Huo Yanzhao’s implication was clear to him, so he would only bury these feelings deep in his heart.

But… originally, it was just a slight fondness. Upon realizing he had no chance of ever having her, it turned into intense regret and bitterness.

Yun Shenhan laughed at himself.

***************

Half an hour later, Su Zixi found out that the so-called “next door” was actually a hotel next to the Four Seasons Bar!

She thought it was just the next private room!

Su Zixi felt a sense of being deceived, but seeing Master He’s casual smile, she thought she might be overthinking it again…

In any case, reviewing the surveillance footage was more important. She must get the evidence to expose Su Lianxi!

If Ning Yichen knew Su Lianxi wasn’t as innocent as he thought, maybe he would believe her words?

Thinking of this, she bravely followed Master He into the hotel’s presidential suite.

The bodyguards then left one by one.

He Jingyao walked into the living room, unbuttoning his collar as he asked her, “Do you want to take a shower and change into something comfortable first?”

In the warm light, his smile had a jade-like quality, becoming even more mesmerizing.

Su Zixi was momentarily stunned.

She had to admit, He Jingyao was excessively handsome… every action naturally exuding a strong hormonal appeal.

That finely chiseled face was too impactful. Even a glance could make one feel breathless.

Su Zixi calmed her breathing before coming back to her senses and hurriedly shook her head.

After shaking her head, she suddenly realized they were just here to watch surveillance footage. Why did he suggest taking a shower and changing into comfortable clothes first?
