Capítulo 824: Chapter 824: Who Is X
The female secretary didn’t notice Xia Xinyu either. She quickly walked over to He Yizheng. After a sweet “Mr. He,” came a series of coquettish exclamations.
Before long, the exclamations turned into soft murmurs.
The man’s heavy breathing also followed into her ears.
As Xia Xinyu listened, she could even imagine what they were doing, what positions, and what He Yizheng would say. Because she had an uncountable past with this man.
She vaguely remembered that He Yizheng had once pressed her against the desk as well.
A layer of vague and indifferent smile appeared on Xia Xinyu’s face. She quickly lost interest in eavesdropping and quietly left the office.
…
In the afternoon, He Jingyao held his son, teaching him to read and write. After teaching, he set Xiaobao aside and let him lie on his stomach to read by himself.
Then he sat on the sofa in the living room, unusually picking up the laptop to check his emails over the past few days.
Zhixi was very curious, so she immediately ran over to watch.
Most of the emails, he skipped over without looking and deleted straight away. He dealt with a few emails specifically, but even after watching for a while, Zhixi couldn’t see anything significant.
Suddenly, a new email came in, the sender was “x”.
He Jingyao’s gaze deepened slightly as he clicked on this email, looking at it most carefully.
Unfortunately, Zhixi still couldn’t understand it because the email’s content was all strange symbols.
After reading it, He Jingyao deleted it too.
“Who is ‘x’?” Zhixi couldn’t help but ask, “Seems a bit mysterious, huh?”
He Jingyao chuckled, placed the laptop aside, and pulled her into his arms with a gentle smile: “You’ll find out later.”
… Could it be someone she knows?
This thought rose in Zhixi’s mind when suddenly the doorbell rang.
Uncle Li went over to open the door.
Zhixi was a bit curious about who it might be, so she set aside her earlier questions. Before long, a clear male voice rang out: “Hello, Uncle Gu, may I ask if Miss Gu is here?”
Zhixi was startled; the voice seemed to be from Xiaozhou next door.
He Jingyao immediately directed his meaningful gaze toward her.
Zhixi gave a dry laugh, “I… I’ll go see what he wants?”
He Jingyao’s gaze was intense. After a while, he nodded slightly.
Zhixi hurriedly stood up and walked toward the door. Uncle Li just happened to turn around and walk back. When he saw her, his expression was a bit odd.
… Most likely because of that “Uncle Gu”; it seemed the boy mistook Uncle Li for her father.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Zhixi smiled at Uncle Li and quickly walked to the door: “Xiaozhou, do you need something?”
“Miss Gu,” the boy smiled shyly, “It’s like this, I bought materials online and tried making pancakes at home today, but they turned out terribly. Could you possibly… teach me?”
Zhixi blinked, looking at the boy’s slightly expectant smile, and felt a sudden thump in her heart.
No matter what, it’s inappropriate for a boy to invite her to his home, even if she’s much older than him. Could this kid… really have other thoughts?
“Sorry, it’s just… I’m afraid it’s not very convenient,” Zhixi awkwardly declined.
The boy looked disappointed, forcing a smile: “Uh… it’s okay, I was too abrupt, sorry.”
“It’s alright.” Seeing his face full of disappointment, Zhixi also felt a bit awkward.
