Chapter 231 -231: You Are Not a Tool

Su Zixi didn’t receive a response for a long time, so she lifted her head from his embrace, her eyes carrying a mix of anticipation and shyness.

He Jingyao met her clear eyes, then suddenly said in a hoarse voice, “Su Zixi, listen, I indeed had no other choice, perhaps this was the opportunity for me to meet you, but it is definitely not why I wanted to marry you. Do you understand?”

Su Zixi felt a stir in her heart.

How could she not understand? Uncle Li had also said similar things to her before, but hearing his stance firsthand still unsettled her.

“Also, you are not a tool,” he said gently caressing her cheek, “not a tool for my release, nor a breeding tool for the He Family. So, you don’t need to force yourself to please me.”

Su Zixi felt her eyes sting.

...

She shook her head lightly, “But I don’t feel it’s forced, I just want you to be happy.”

He Jingyao laughed lightly, lowering his head to suck hard on her lips, his voice carrying a bit of huskiness and helplessness, “Su Zixi, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? Saying things like that, how can I bear to lay a hand on you?”

The more honest and unreserved she was toward him, the more he saw the despicable part of himself.

And so, he felt even less justified in taking liberties with her.

Su Zixi’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she cleared her throat, “It’s okay, we are already husband and wife, after all.”

Although having children wasn’t in her plans at the moment, if he wanted to, she would be willing.

He Jingyao paused for a moment.

Yes, they were already husband and wife. This fact reminded him of how he had coaxed her into marrying him at the beginning.

At that time, he only wanted to quickly imprint himself onto this woman, to stamp his mark on her, without deeply considering what marriage meant.

“Zhixi, this is unfair to you,” he said, looking into her eyes, his hot palm still lingering at her waist but now tinged with restraint.

Su Zixi pursed her lips, inevitably feeling a sense of loss.

Perhaps she should be happy. His restraint signified he didn’t want to disappoint her. He was being careful with her feelings.

But at the same time, it also meant that he didn’t truly love her at this moment, otherwise, he wouldn’t feel it was unfair to her…

“There will come a day,” the man seemed to understand something from her slightly dimmed expression and whispered in her ear, “Su Zixi, you need to have confidence in yourself.”

She looked into his dark eyes, couldn’t help but smile, and nodded vigorously, “Yeah.”

After all, she didn’t have any competitors, and as long as he had the capacity to love someone, then he could only love her. Su Zixi thought optimistically.

But for now…

She blinked, asking hesitantly, “So, you… don’t plan to go through with it?”

The man’s eyes deepened, his voice grew hoarse, “Go through with what?”

“Nothing…” Su Zixi quickly averted her gaze, her cheeks turning slightly red, “If that’s the case, let’s go to dinner.”

But He Jingyao tightened his hold on her waist, saying meaningfully, “However, if you want it, I don’t mind satisfying you.”

“I do not!” She retorted quickly, but her gaze involuntarily fell on the slightly open collar of the man…

Today, she had mustered up the courage to make the first move, although it was mainly to make him happy, but…

Su Zixi would never admit that she was also coveting the man, no, definitely not!
