Chapter 424: Chapter 424: Unreasonable Impulse

He Jingyao could almost imagine Su Zixi’s conflicted look and couldn’t help but chuckle, “Let me know when she calms down.”

“Yes, sir,” Li Bo replied.

“How are things on Su Guo’an’s side?” He Jingyao asked.

Li Bo thought for a moment, “Mr. Huo said that Mr. Su refuses to let the Young Mistress donate bone marrow for him.”

“Why?” He Jingyao’s voice suddenly deepened.

“Mr. Huo and the lady didn’t explain the reason…” Li Bo realized something was amiss as he spoke, “I’ll investigate it first thing tomorrow.”

“Hmm, you should have thought of that,” He Jingyao’s voice carried a hint of displeasure.

“My mistake.”

“Also,” He Jingyao said while he was going through files over the phone, “Li Bo, you pride yourself on being experienced. So, do you think I should try to coax her?”

Li Bo was taken aback, then he expressed relief, “Yes, Young Master, you’ve finally come around.”

He Jingyao was unmoved by his flattery and dropped a, “I’ll leave it to you,” before hanging up the phone.

He had accumulated a pile of paperwork yesterday, and to finish his tasks earlier, he probably needed to work overtime—an unprecedented move.

In his office, He Jingyao rubbed his temples and took a deep breath.

That restless and uneasy feeling seemed to be returning, making him wish he could instantly fly to a certain little woman’s side.

But…

Perhaps his father’s words also made sense. To prove that he hadn’t lost his sanity, he had to restrain this irrational impulse.

He Jingyao picked up his coffee and took a sip, his gaze growing deeper.

…

Listening to the dial tone, Li Bo seriously considered how to placate the Young Mistress on behalf of the Young Master.

Flowers? Chocolates? An apology gift?

It seemed like those were the only options.

The capable butler, Li Bo, immediately sprung into action.

The next day, Su Zixi woke up as usual, washed up, and walked out of her room.

Then, she was stunned.

Su Zixi rubbed her eyes, sure she wasn’t seeing things.

The corridor leading from the bedroom door to the stairwell was completely occupied by various flowers on both sides, their petals bright and dazzling, truly mesmerizing.

What surprised her even more was that each bunch of flowers contained a beautifully wrapped gift—large and small, each in different shapes… Su Zixi counted as she walked and quickly lost count after several dozens.

She covered her joyously thumping heart, hurried downstairs, and found Li Bo in the dining room, “Li Bo, do you know what’s going on with the second-floor corridor?”

Li Bo smiled, “Do you like it?”

Su Zixi nodded blankly.

“It was the Young Master’s order; all those gifts are for you,” Li Bo continued with a smile.

Su Zixi’s eyes widened.

“All for me?”

“Correct,” Li Bo was pleased with her reaction, “You can have breakfast first, then take your time opening the gifts after breakfast.”

Su Zixi sat dizzily at the dining table, it took a long while for her heartbeat to settle.

She genuinely hadn’t expected such a surprise upon waking up. Although these gestures were cliché, they were undeniably effective…

Even though she knew He Jingyao was far away in Yanzhou City, and the actual implementation was done by Li Bo, after all, it was He Jingyao’s intention, plus Li Bo was using He Jingyao’s credit card…

Su Zixi couldn’t help but feel a bit elated…

No, no! Stay strong! She couldn’t be corrupted so easily!

She took a moment for some mental fortification, then started her breakfast.
