Half an hour later, Su Zixi clung to the bathroom door, stubbornly refusing to leave.

“No, I don’t want to go back! How will they look at me if I go back now!” Su Zixi glared at the culprit, “It’s all your fault!”

Kissing her endlessly… almost…

Thinking of that scene, Su Zixi’s face grew even redder, and her heart raced—she couldn’t bear to face anyone!

He Jingyao raised an eyebrow, smiling as he said, “It’s alright. You admitted I was impressive, so they will understand.”

“I don’t want that kind of understanding!” Su Zixi felt like crying without tears.

Just now, she couldn’t bear to see He Jingyao being doubted, so she had made that comment; yet this man had the nerve to add insult to injury!

It was too much, too infuriating! If only she knew, she wouldn’t have spoken up for him. He deserved to be doubted by his friends!

“But if we don’t go back now,” He Jingyao looked at her intently, “they might think we’ve started a second round, which I wouldn’t mind…”

Su Zixi, furious, stared at him and said, “Then you go back first! I’ll wait a bit longer!”

“Su Zixi,” he looked at her seriously, “are you planning to sneak away?”

She guiltily said, “Uh… no.”

Besides, where could she run to? She couldn’t possibly never see Huo Yanhui and the others again, right?

“If you don’t show up within five minutes, I will really get angry,” he said in a low tone, making Su Zixi acutely aware of how serious the consequences of his anger could be.

Su Zixi nodded quickly.

After He Jingyao left, she hurried to the mirror to take a look. Ah, everything else was manageable, but her lips were sore and swollen beyond recognition… Was he born in the year of the dog? Why did he love biting her lips so much?

Su Zixi splashed her cheeks with cold water. Luckily, she had wisely brought her makeup bag, so she quickly took out her powder puff to touch up her makeup.

After finishing, she left the restroom and prepared to head back to the private room. That’s when, out of the corner of her eye, Su Zixi glimpsed a familiar silhouette… Then, a sentence drifted to her ears.

“… Take this and leave Yanzhou City immediately. You’d better keep silent forever about that night, or else…”

“…I understand, Mr. Huo…” It was a feeble female voice.

Su Zixi’s eyes widened in shock as she looked toward the direction of the elevator. Huo Yanzhao had just walked out of the elevator, which closed behind him.

The moment their eyes met, Su Zixi clearly saw a flicker of panic in Huo Yanzhao’s eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and even teased her, “Little sister-in-law, what are you doing here? Where’s Jingyao?”

“He… he’s in the private room,” Su Zixi stammered, noticing her heartbeat quickening.

Who was Huo Yanzhao talking to just now? What was that night about?

She wanted to ask for details but didn’t know how to start.

Huo Yanzhao seemed to guess what she wanted to ask, letting out a resigned sigh, “You saw that? My apologies. The patient-doctor relationship has been very tense these years. As the director, I unavoidably face all kinds of peculiar situations and sometimes have to resort to unusual measures.”

Is that so?

Su Zixi thought for a moment but couldn’t help saying, “Xuefei is a really good person, I really like her.”

Huo Yanzhao smiled, “Of course, I know.”

“Then…”

“There’s no one in this world who loves her more than I do,” Huo Yanzhao looked at her earnestly, “so I would never do anything to hurt her. You can be assured of that.”
