Prosecutor vs. Minister: A Battle of Wits-Chapter 168 - 166: Su Zi, Do You Have a Heart?

Before he could finish, Su Zi couldn’t help but run out.

When she reached a secluded spot, she covered her face and cried.

She was sent to Bao Fuye’s side when she was very young.

She followed this man for over a decade, and her feelings for him had long surpassed familial bonds.

But unfortunately...

Bao Fuye seemed to have never laid eyes on her. Even if she stood naked before him, he wouldn’t give her a second glance.

"Are you alright?"

Si Yuan Yang’s voice suddenly sounded from behind her, startling Su Zi greatly.

"What are you doing here?"

There was an unprecedented panic on her face, and she hurriedly wiped away her tears.

"Are you really okay?"

Si Yuan Yang sighed and handed her a handkerchief.

Watching his gesture, Su Chai paused slightly.

If she remembered correctly, the first time they met, Si Yuan Yang seemed to have done the same thing.

Unlike Bao Fuye’s volatility, Si Yuan Yang was more inclined to be the gentle type of man.

In fact, their initial encounter was deliberately orchestrated by her.

The purpose was to get close to him; after all, he was Bao Nan’s brother, which would benefit Bao Fuye’s later power struggle in the Bao Family.

However, things began to spiral out of her control...

Si Yuan Yang was truly too gentle...

So gentle that she wanted to fall for him, which is why she lost her composure and accidentally exposed her identity.

Her identity was revealed, so why did this fool still pursue her relentlessly?

Is he stupid? They are supposed to be enemies!

Thinking this, Su Zi pushed his hand away forcefully, the handkerchief slowly falling to the ground, just like Si Yuan Yang’s heart.

"I don’t need your hypocritical sympathy. We can only be on opposing sides. Please mind your own status."

She gritted her teeth and shouted loudly.

These words were not only a reminder to Si Yuan Yang but also a wake-up call to herself.

They must be on opposing sides!

Hearing this, Si Yuan Yang’s hand trembled slightly, finally asking one question, "Su Zi, do you have a heart?"

"Yes."

A trace of a mocking smile flashed across Si Yuan Yang’s face.

If she has a heart, then why can’t he warm it?

The next words from Su Zi shattered all his illusions, "I have a heart, but I’ve long given it to Bao Fuye."

Even though he had already guessed it.

But hearing it personally from the mouth of the one he loved was still so piercing.

Si Yuan Yang responded blankly, "I understand now."

Then without turning back, he only left Su Zi with a view of his back.

"..."

The banquet hall.

"Wow, big brother, you really shouldn’t drink anymore. How many glasses has it been?"

Gu Qize kept frowning, trying to persuade him to stop drinking. His big brother had just gone out for a little while.

How did he come back like this?

No need to guess, it probably had something to do with Su Zi.

Seriously, he just couldn’t understand.

A woman who betrayed him, how could she be worth his persistent longing?

It was exhausting even to watch.

"Big brother, really, that’s enough. Stop drinking."

Watching Si Yuan Yang drink incessantly, Gu Qize rushed forward and directly snatched the bottle from him.

With the bottle taken away, Si Yuan Yang seemed like a child who had lost his support.

"Why did she... have to treat me like this... why..."

He kept murmuring to himself, seemingly unable to comprehend the situation.

"And why does she like Bao Fuye!"

Gu Qize frowned, directly shattering his illusions.
