After the next time, she still hoped for another? In the end, did she expect a long-term, stable, and more normal male-female relationship?
After all, Yu Zexiao was an exceedingly handsome man. Being involved with such a man over the long term, even if there were no feelings, she feared she would not be able to hold back and would fall from grace, wouldn’t she?
But she was also very clear that she did not like Yu Zexiao, and Yu Zexiao did not fancy her. Their being together was not so much a case of "familiarity breeds fondness" as it was a mutual tool for release.
She was human, not an animal, and did not want to indulge purely in desire, unable to extricate herself. If the two of them had feelings, it would be another matter, but right now they were like chickens talking to ducks, completely speaking past each other, with different views on life, the world, and values, coming from very different backgrounds. Their interactions were full of friction, barely maintaining a cycle of minor quarrels every three days and major blowouts every five.
She really could not accept the idea of living together with such a man in the future!
Moreover, with Yu Zexiao’s fickle nature, if she were to develop real feelings for him after spending a long time together, and he then kicked her to the curb to find other women, what would she do then?
She knew her own personality; once in love, she was truly in love, and she would never let go. If she indeed developed feelings for Yu Zexiao and then faced his "betrayal," she didn’t know what she might do!
And Yu Zexiao, seeing her such serene eye color, was slightly filled with ire!
What did her words mean? Could it be that—she still looked down on him?
There were so many fans of his around the world who would do anything just to catch a glimpse of him, yearning even to kiss the soles of his feet! And her? He had offered himself up, and she still didn’t want it!
"You, don’t want to be with me?" His fist tightened slightly, and his handsome brows furrowed. His deep eyes narrowed dangerously as he looked at her!
Anning Jian, however, had a calm gaze. Her heart, which had been beating violently due to his previous teasing, was gradually calming down. She nodded, "Yes, I don’t want to."
Yu Zexiao suddenly stood up!
His face dark and his gaze frosty, his chest heaved as if it were about to explode with violent breaths. He was completely stricken, not knowing whether it was from rage or shock!
She really did not want to! He had proposed they become a couple, to maintain their relationship, and she had actually refused him!
From birth to this moment, not a single woman had ever refused him! And never had a woman, after he pleaded to be close to her, still appeared so unwilling!
At this moment, he was as irritable as a young lion, wishing he could grab this woman and tear her apart with his sharp claws and teeth!
Anning Jian, of course, also saw his suddenly sullen face. She was not willing to be close to him, but she knew that Yu Zexiao was arrogant and could not stand to be defied. She immediately said, "Aside from that, I can agree to any other request you make!"
"Really?" Yu Zexiao turned back with a glare, his gaze icy, "No matter what requests I make, Assistant Jian can satisfy them?"
Anning Jian clearly saw the anger in his eyes. She believed she was not wrong and, standing her ground boldly, nodded in agreement.
