Chapter 1224 Don't Let Her Down
Li Jinxing looked at Nie Yao with a heavy gaze. He never imagined that one day, his woman would come to him for help for someone else...
He subconsciously increased the strength of the hand that was pressing on her shoulder, and a surge of blood rushed up. All kinds of complicated emotions surged in his heart, including anger, uneasiness, and jealousy towards Lu Heng!
Who is Lu Heng? No matter how outstanding he is, even if he has the Lu family behind him, he is just trying to escape family responsibilities and run to the entertainment industry to become an artist!
He and Yaoyao didn't have a very deep friendship at all, but now, his Yaoyao had argued with him to this extent for him, and even asked him to stop!
Li Jinxing didn't know how much effort he had to suppress the anger in his heart. He took a deep breath, released the hand that was pressing on her shoulder, rubbed his eyebrows, and whispered: "Yaoyao, you don't have to worry about this matter..."
After he finished speaking, he deliberately raised his hand to glance at his watch, put his arm around her shoulders and said casually, "Come on, you must be hungry too, let's go have lunch first!"
"I'm not hungry!" Nie Yao shook off his hand on her shoulder and replied coldly, "Forget lunch! I came to you today just for this!"
Without waiting for Li Jinxing to answer, Nie Yao said in a deep voice, "Normally, I can treat your jealousy as a little fun, but this time, you really went too far!"
"Yaoyao, do you know that the business world is like a battlefield? If I am soft-hearted, the one who suffers will not be the other party, but me?" Li Jinxing tried to explain his thoughts to her, but Nie Yao frowned and shook her head to deny his statement.
"Li Jinxing, I know what you're saying, but Lu Heng isn't your business rival. He's filming his own drama, and we're not your mortal enemy at all. You're using this method to punish him, you've already crossed the line!"
Nie Yao raised her eyes to look at him and sighed softly. She didn't have the energy to argue with him anymore. She smiled bitterly and said, "If you were pelted with rotten eggs because of me, I've already accepted his apology. You should stop! Li Jinxing, don't let the demon in your heart consume you. Don't let me be disappointed in you..."
When Li Jinxing heard her last words, his body shook violently. He looked at the bitter smile on her face, and her focused eyes, which contained persuasion, a little disappointment, and something he couldn't see clearly. He was a little confused for a moment!
"Yaoyao..." He was about to say something, but Nie Yao glanced at the time, waved her hand, and said, "I'm done. I have to go back to accompany Grandpa. I won't stay here for lunch with you!"
Nie Yao turned and left Li Jinxing's office. Even though she could feel Li Jinxing's gaze on her, making her back feel a little hot, she still did not look back and just left the financial building.
It was noon at this moment and the sun was quite hot. She was in a hurry to go out and forgot to wear sunglasses. For a moment, she was blinded by the sunlight and could hardly open her eyes.
She subconsciously narrowed her eyes and walked away slowly. When she passed the door of the bank next to her, she was startled again.
I still remember that two days ago, it was Li Jinxing who brought her to this bank and opened a shared safe deposit box with her, asking her to put the jewelry that Nie Jinxi had returned in it for safekeeping...
The envious looks of the bank manager and staff seem to be still vivid in my mind!
