She just felt that although Yu Zexiao was born into the Huanyu Group, he never got involved in the company’s affairs. Apart from hopping around and singing a few songs, he lacked even basic acting skills. Such a man would only be liked in Huaxia Country. If he were in the United States, he would have been drowned out by the crowd a long time ago.
However, she had already gotten used to obeying Situ Xuan’s commands. His instructions were to be followed, almost like an instinct for her.
"Then, after we return, about that banquet..."
"Everything as usual," Situ Xuan said indifferently, his hoarse voice carrying an undeniable authority. As he watched Yu Zexiao and Jian Anning below untie the ropes, their bodies overlapping in what seemed to be an intimate embrace, his eyes narrowed slightly—
Jian Anning was still unaware that her and Yu Zexiao’s situation beneath had become completely visible to Situ Xuan behind the top floor’s panoramic windows.
Significantly, it was immediately after hearing that the Cheng Family intended to establish marriage ties with Situ Xuan, that she decided to flee. As for Situ Xuan, he had always been very mysterious, for he had previously been involved in underworld business, and for his own protection, few people knew what he actually looked like.
For Situ Xuan, the fact that Jian Anning had run away right after hearing about the marriage to him was a fact. He had never met Jian Anning, and he didn’t even have a photograph of her—of course not, the girl had run away, so why would her stepfather Cheng Juye give him her photograph? If he couldn’t find her, wouldn’t that offend Situ Xuan? Furthermore, Cheng Juye had provided the name Moon Cheng to Situ Xuan, following North American customs of combining an English first name with the Chinese surname, causing Situ Xuan to be unaware that the woman down below, being intimate with Yu Zexiao, was the very Jian Anning who was once to be betrothed to him!
Speaking of the marriage arrangement with the Cheng Family, Situ Xuan adopted a completely indifferent attitude. He was born into the Situ Aristocratic Family, where almost all marriages were alliances. As long as he sat in the seat of the family head, he had no choice in his marriage. More than twenty years ago, his father Situ Che had fallen in love with a woman from Huaxia, namely Shen Lanxiao, Yu Zexiao’s mother. There was a time when he hurried back to the Situ Family, hoping to marry her against immense pressure, despite her lack of family background. Unexpectedly, he was outmaneuvered by Yu Jingxi, Yu Zexiao’s father. Taking advantage of the moment Situ Che returned to the United States, Yu Jingxi unhesitatingly claimed Shen Lanxiao for himself and then spread explicit photos of him and Shen Lanxiao, forcing her to agree to a quick marriage. However, after the marriage, perhaps because he acquired her so easily, Yu Jingxi treated her poorly and even caused her to be in a car accident that left her a vegetable. Situ Che attempted to rescue her but, in a cruel twist of fate, the two never ended up together.
After returning to his country, Situ Che was no longer entangled by matters of the heart. He worked hard on family business and soon stood firm. His heart, already filled with Shen Lanxiao, had no room for anyone else. He finally agreed to marry a well-matched heiress and fathered him. His parents had practically no affection between them; from childhood to adulthood, every time he saw them together, they were either giving each other the cold shoulder or arguing, making for a very distant family relationship.
