Su Ding struggled to open her eyes, finding herself in an unfamiliar environment, momentarily bewildered.
This was a bedroom, bathed in a warm, comfortable yellow light.
As she looked around curiously, just as she was about to call out, the door opened, and a tall, slender figure strode in.
Upon seeing the person, Su Ding froze.
She sat up straight in bed, stammering, "Mr. Jin... Mr. Jin?"
Jin Ye’s expression remained stern, his face devoid of emotion.
Su Ding suddenly remembered something and quickly checked herself for any injuries. Reassured that she was unharmed, she let out a soft sigh of relief.
Jin Ye's gaze darkened slightly. What did this woman mean by that?
He was somewhat annoyed, his face cold. "Relax, you don't have that much appeal."
Hearing this, Su Ding glanced at him, and seeing his face, so similar to her daughter's, she felt an inexplicable urge to laugh.
She said lightly, "I can't guarantee that. Some people say one thing and mean another."
Jin Ye's face darkened with anger. This woman was too narcissistic! Who gave her the confidence? He had seen plenty of women more beautiful than her!
Seeing that he wasn't reacting, Su Ding found it a bit boring. She threw off the covers and asked, "Mr. Jin, how did I end up here?"
Jin Ye snorted coldly, "You suddenly ran in front of my car, almost causing an accident."
Su Ding stared for a few seconds, then recalled what had happened not long ago. However, it seemed she wasn't injured.
So, Jin Ye had saved her.
She felt a bit awkward now, having been so disrespectful to him earlier. She had been rather rash.
Su Ding smiled and thanked him, "So that's what happened. Thank you for saving me and bringing me home, Mr. Jin. I'm really sorry."
Seeing her smile, so bright it made his heart involuntarily flutter, Jin Ye became even more annoyed.
She wasn't exactly a top-tier beauty.
Yet, she was damnably captivating!
Jin Ye's expression became even more somber. He gave her a look of reproach, then turned and walked out.
Su Ding: ???
She felt like she had angered Jin Ye, but why?
Su Ding felt bewildered. She got out of bed and followed him out, only then realizing she was on the second floor.
Looking down, she saw a luxurious and spacious villa. The decor and furnishings were exotically opulent, with custom-made furniture and household items that looked painfully expensive.
Seeing Jin Ye walking downstairs, she followed him.
Jin Ye suddenly turned back, looking at her with a furrowed brow. "What are you doing coming down?"
Su Ding maintained her descending posture and blinked. "Going home."
Jin Ye's face darkened. "Go back."
Su Ding was taken aback. "Why?"
Jin Ye's face was stern. "The doctor said you were in shock and fainted. You need to rest well."
Su Ding smiled and said, "Yes, I'll rest well when I get home. Thank you for saving my life, Mr. Jin."
Jin Ye looked at her deeply for a moment, then turned and went downstairs.
Seeing him go, Su Ding finally breathed a sigh of relief. When Jin Ye had looked back at her earlier, she had inexplicably felt a bit nervous.
It was all because this man was too handsome.
She thought to herself: If Huang Qi Group went bankrupt, and this Mr. Jin became a young heartthrob, his popularity and fan base would be phenomenal.
Downstairs, Jin Ye sat on the sofa and picked up a newspaper to read.
Su Ding frowned. Should she go over to say hello, or just leave?
After hesitating for a few seconds, just as she was about to walk away, she heard a child's tender and excited voice from the doorway!
"Ah... Daddy!"
Jin Xiao Xi had almost called out to an auntie, but thankfully corrected herself in time, giving Su Ding a mysterious wink.
Su Ding chuckled. This Xiao Xi, who appeared so cold and aloof, was still just a five-year-old child.
She also gave Jin Xiao Xi a knowing look, and the two exchanged a successful secret signal!
Hearing Jin Xiao Xi return, Jin Ye put down the newspaper. His expression remained calm, showing no particular emotion. He said lightly, "Wash your hands, dinner will be ready soon."
He completely ignored Su Ding's presence.
Jin Ye was doing this intentionally. Since Su Ding always treated him with a distant and dismissive attitude, he wasn't particularly interested in her.
