156: Chapter 160 Recognition (4) 156: Chapter 160 Recognition (4) As soon as Jian Anning saw him, she took a slow step back and then attempted to bypass him, not wanting to even greet him as she aimed to return to Yu Zexiao’s side.
Lu Jiayuan clearly hadn’t expected her to come out alone, and as he watched her move away from him, some form of urgent emotion suddenly became unbearable and burst forth.
Just as they were about to brush past each other….
He suddenly grasped Jian Anning’s arm and softly called out from the tip of his nose, “Moon.”
His call was low and lingering, just like in the past when he called her, and in an instant, it seemed to stir up layers of waves.
Jian Anning immediately shook off his arm, her gaze cold, “Mr.
Lu, please be mindful!”
Lu Jiayuan looked up at her, and finally, the suppressed calm in his eyes was replaced by a hint of—pain.
However, any of his emotions had nothing to do with Jian Anning anymore.
With a calm expression, she looked again at the man who had made her extremely miserable three years ago.
He was dressed in a silver suit today, his entire face groomed smooth as jade, down to his neatly combed hairstyle.
Especially the silk handkerchief tucked at an angle in his shirt cuff, making him appear both dignified and lavish—reminding one of Lin Zicheng from television, who looked as if bathed in the freshness of spring, yet harbored a subtly dark heart.
With the passage of three years, the current Lu Jiayuan was no longer the young boy who felt proud of Cheng Tingting’s admiring gazes.
He had hardened, having struggled in society, eaten the cheapest bento boxes and instant noodles, and faced the toughest moments.
Of course, he was different from Yu Zexiao’s inherent sense of superiority and Situ Xuan’s natural aristocratic air.
Yet now, he appeared to be a rare successful individual, elegant in every move.
A mere smile was enough to easily enchant countless young girls.
But all these had nothing to do with her.
Lu Jiayuan seemed to notice the chill in her eyes as well.
In this period, he had actually wanted to connect with Jian Anning.
But she was always with Yu Zexiao, and Yu Zexiao was deeply guarded against him.
Whenever his gaze lingered on Jian Anning, or his eyes followed her, Yu Zexiao would fly into a temper before he could even approach.
And, unfortunately, Jian Anning was not willing to get any closer to him either.
He smiled bitterly to himself, was she still holding a grudge against him?
Indeed, after doing such a despicable thing, easily believing Cheng Tingting’s words and keeping his distance from her, and the harm he caused by two-timing her, how could she easily forgive him?
Even if she were to react more vehemently, he would understand.
Hence, Lu Jiayuan instructed, “Vincent, you go ahead and see if the director has any instructions.”
His assistant Vincent glanced at Jian Anning and then at him and nodded.
After he turned and left, the silent corridor was left with only Jian Anning and Lu Jiayuan.
The emotions that Lu Jiayuan had long repressed and hidden gushed forth without restraint!
“MOON…..” He lifted his eyes, which were filled with long-accumulated yearning, regret, and fervor!
Sorry, I overslept during my nap, thanks to the generous “BABY受” for the tip~~
