She remained silent, and Yu Zexiao just laughed louder, "What’s the matter, can’t you talk now? Have you lost count already? You are nothing but a promiscuous woman, what pure and chaste act are you putting on? You sicken me!"
"Yu Zexiao!" Jian Anning’s eyes widened in shock, never expecting such words to come from Yu Zexiao’s mouth! She felt anger and a sense of humiliation that trampled on her self-respect!
He had no obligation, no right to meddle in her past! He had no authority to judge her personal morality or her past relationships!
"Take back your damned arrogance and reprimands!" She didn’t hesitate to knock his hand away from her chin, her expression fierce, "In other words, even if what you just said is true, so what? Who are you to me, and what does the number of boyfriends I’ve had before have to do with you?"
"Haha, you’ve just admitted it!" Yu Zexiao laughed even harder, his smile arrogant—and tinged with bitterness.
"Admit what!" Jian Anning fumed, "Admit your baseless accusations? What a joke!"
She pushed him away from the sofa in one swift move, stood up, turned back and looked down at him, "Yu Zexiao, business is business, personal is personal! You’re not my boyfriend, even if you were, you have no right to control my past! Who are you to curse me? What right do you have? Even if you were my boyfriend, neither you nor I were each other’s firsts, so what right do you have to expect me to be? Based on what!"
Yu Zexiao was furious, no woman had ever accused him like Jian Anning just did!
Jian Anning laughed bitterly out of extreme anger, "You want to know, right? Fine, I’ll tell you! I’ve slept with a man before, and that man wasn’t you, definitely not Lu Jiayuan! You were my second, does that satisfy you?"
With a casual remark, Jian Anning instantly froze Yu Zexiao.
In his mind, it was as if a whirlwind had blown through, sweeping away much disbelief, suspicion, fury, and the facts he’d been certain of. Now they were confirmed again, some shredded by the tempest, yet some resurfaced in his heart!
She said, I was her second?
Does that mean, like him, she only had one previous experience with someone else?
Although she wasn’t completely untouched, it was like a tie, he had been with others before, and so had she?
Thinking this, his mind was engulfed in a storm! He stupefiedly raised his head to look at her calm yet angry face, the corners of his mouth slowly curling upwards. The joy that came from deep within couldn’t be completely concealed!
However, at this moment, Jian Anning solemnly straightened her clothes, turned around, twisted her head, and walked towards the door!
She’d had enough! She could tolerate Yu Zexiao’s nitpicking at work, she could endure his occasional outbursts of temper, but she would absolutely not allow Yu Zexiao to pry into her past unabashedly, to accuse and criticize her without any justification of "morality"!
And if you ask her if she regrets her actions born from heartbreak three years ago, of course, she regrets it.
