“It’s so late. It’ll be dangerous for you to go home alone.” He Jingyao shook his head in disapproval. “Besides, can you even get into your dorms at this time?”
“I can, I can!” Su Zhixi nodded. “I can still get in even after curfew. It’s just that they will make a note of it when I tap in. Worst case scenario, I’ll just have to have a chat with my counselor. It’s nothing! I have classes tomorrow, so I have to get back today!”
She clenched her fists in determination.
“I see…” He Jingyao muttered.
Su Zhixi was nervous. She stared at him intently, afraid that he would object to it.
The man felt himself heat up when he saw the expression on her face.
This woman had no idea how much he wanted to devour her when she looked at him like that.
But she seemed traumatized enough for today.
They had time anyway.
At this thought, He Jingyao smiled gently. “If that’s the case, I’ll get someone to send you back.”
Su Zhixi was ecstatic. “Then I won’t stand on ceremony with you. Thank you!” she said gratefully.
“You never have to stand on ceremony with me.” The man looked at her deeply. “Come on, I’ll send you to the door.”

At the entrance, Su Zhixi opened the door and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Uncle Li standing in the corridor.
He Jingyao took in her relieved expression. “Su Zhixi, you don’t seem to trust me, do you? Did you think that I’d lie to you?”
Su Zhixi froze.
After the encounter in the bathroom, she could not help but fear that Young Master He would have some tricks up his sleeve.
“But don’t worry, you’re not wrong. I do want to sleep with you,” He Jingyao said as he breathed into her ear. “You’ll be willing, sooner or later. Don’t worry, it won’t be long.”
“I-I… Goodbye!” Su Zhixi ran with her face red, as if in shock.
I’m not worrying, I’m not worrying at all!

The smile on He Jingyao’s face remained as he watched Su Zhixi disappear down the hallway.
He returned to the living room. The footage was still playing on the TV.
If Su Zhixi had gone back another ten minutes on the footage, she would have seen Su Lianxi’s face appear in it; she was speaking with the other two people.
This was the most direct evidence. If Su Zhixi had that, she would be able to expose her sister.
He Jingyao knew exactly why Su Zhixi wanted the footage, so how could he let her have it?
Ning Yichen. The favorite of the Ning family.
This name had appeared frequently on the report that Uncle Li presented. His heart ached for Su Zhixi when he read that she had taken care of Ning Yichen for three years.
He could tell how she felt about the man from that.
Since Ning Yichen had gotten the wrong person and let her down, it should remain that way.
He would know the truth one day, but not now.
He Jingyao was glad that Ning Yichen had made such a mistake. Otherwise, it would have taken a lot of effort to have to take Su Zhixi from him.
He smiled as he picked up the remote and turned off the TV.
