I Break Tycoon's Immune Barrier-Chapter 228 - Surprise...

Chapter 228: Chapter 228 Surprise…

Su Zixi didn’t know when He Jingyao could return, but she still had to prepare in advance.

She first went to the wardrobe, chose a silky dress and matching high heels, and then returned to her room with the dress and shoes.

She took a serious bath, applied body lotion, dried her hair, and even patted on some night powder to make her skin look more radiant before putting on her dress and shoes, and finally applied a light layer of pink lipstick.

Unfortunately, her hairdressing skills were lacking, otherwise, creating a slight curl in her hair might have looked even better… Su Zixi thought this as she looked at herself in the mirror, and the blush on her cheeks didn’t fade at the thought of what she had to do next.

Su Zixi continuously took deep breaths to calm herself.

After finalizing her preparations, she picked up a book to kill time, but she could not concentrate, constantly thinking about the upcoming events, and absentmindedly began to daydream in front of the mirror…

...

It was unclear how much time had passed when she finally heard faint voices outside.

Su Zixi immediately dropped the book, went to the door, and quietly opened it to look down… He Jingyao had indeed returned and was talking softly with Uncle Li.

He seemed to sense something, looked up in the direction of her room, and made direct eye contact with Su Zixi.

He raised an eyebrow and a dark, ambiguous smile tinted his eyes.

Su Zixi made a face at him, then withdrew her head and shut the door with a bang.

Then, she leaned against the door, feeling the heat rising on her cheeks again.

It was unclear how much time had passed when rhythmic knocking emanated from outside.

Su Zixi jumped in surprise, turned her gaze, and forced calmness, “What is it?”

“Zhixi.” The man’s voice came from the other side of the door, tinged with slight teasing, “Weren’t we supposed to have dinner together?”

Su Zixi stammered, “Uh… it’s still early, only four in the afternoon…”

“Oh…” his voice grew deeper, “But, I’m hungry.”

Hearing his suggestive words, Su Zixi nervously closed her eyes for a moment, then smacked her hot cheeks, took a deep breath, and turned around to open the door.

“You’re back early, huh? Are you done with work?” she blinked, feigning nonchalance.

He Jingyao was holding one wrist with his left hand, seemingly about to undo his cufflinks, but as soon as Su Zixi opened the door, his gaze was captivated by her.

The low-cut dress revealed her delicate, slender collarbone and the hint of cleavage, and perhaps because of the lighting, her skin gleamed faintly.

He Jingyao’s lips tightened, his eyes darkened, as if igniting dark flames.

His gaze drifted lower.

The hem of the dress fell short of her knees, revealing her straight legs… the high heels accentuated the graceful lines of her calves.

Perhaps due to his intense gaze, Su Zixi felt uneasy and involuntarily shifted her legs.

The man’s throat bobbed.

“Jingyao, um…why aren’t you saying anything?” Su Zixi’s cheeks were burning, yet she still asked as if nothing was amiss.

The man suddenly let out a low laugh.

“Zhixi, I really didn’t expect…” his voice raspy, the desire in his tone undisguised, “to have such a surprise after coming home.”

“What… what surprise?” Su Zixi stammered, her eyes beginning to flicker.
