He Jitang methodically tidied his clothes.
He turned his head to look at the woman Chen Er had captured.
It was Yingzi.
He Jitang remembered giving her a sum of money, telling her to leave, but she didn't. Instead, she stayed by Shen Ci's side to work.
He Jitang had a bad temper.
He leaned back in the seat and said softly, "Why are you following me?"
Yingzi had experienced his methods before; she was afraid.
But she loved him deeply, mustering the courage to say, "Does Young Master Ji really believe Miss Su has feelings for you? She's just using you!"
He Jitang opened his eyes, silent and expressionless.
Yingzi threw caution to the wind and said everything she wanted to say: "She's keeping you around merely to stabilize the situation. Once she's truly ready, she'll deal with you without hesitation."
He Jitang gave a faint smile.
He said, "You're absolutely right."
Hope ignited in Yingzi's heart.
But then He Jitang continued, "But why don't I like to hear it?"
