She lifted her head, her gaze somewhat astonished as she looked at him.
At that moment, the lighting technician cast a highlight from above, and under the light, Yu Zexiao’s handsome face was rendered even more stunningly beautiful.
To be fair, Yu Zexiao was truly very good-looking—not with the ruggedness of a man, nor the softness of a woman, but purely beautiful. His features were exceptionally striking, his face as if chiseled by a knife and carved by a pen, each contour pleasing to the eye, so perfect that one couldn’t help but marvel.
Right then, his handsome face was seriously looking at her from a close distance. He seemed to be completely unaware that the sentence he just said could lead to some misunderstanding—
No, not a misunderstanding. If it wasn’t absolutely necessary, he really didn’t want to deal with Jiang Xuanqi, nor did he want to engage with these impetuous and flamboyant female stars and heiresses.
If there was another woman in the world aside from his mother that he wished to be close to without feeling disgusted, it was truly only Jian Anning!
Caught off guard for a moment, Jian Anning also nodded, "I don’t like Lu Jiayuan either, and I won’t have any contact with him."
She was telling the truth.
What she always believed was that once people part ways, they shouldn’t remain friends. Even if she tried to make contact, it would feel awkward.
Towards Lu Jiayuan, she had long lost that sentiment, and she had no desire to entangle herself with him anymore.
But in Yu Zexiao’s ears, it was as though she had agreed to his request!
He slightly furrowed his brow, his deep gaze intently watching her, "You have to keep your promise to me, you can’t lie!"
Yu Zexiao’s eyes stuck to her serene pupils, to the delicate tip of her nose, to her fresh and tender lips. She was so beautiful, though not the stunning beauty that catches one’s eye at first glance, yet the more one looked, the more mesmerizing she became!
That slender waistline, and beneath the thin clothing, the surprising elasticity of her delicate, snowy skin, it not only lifted his spirits!
The light shone down from above, lighting up her cheeks, making her bright eyes and snowy complexion appear even more elegant and graceful. Everywhere offstage was dark, as if everything had receded far away, only she, only this woman by his side was the world’s only true existence!
Spinning, jumping, watching her move away and then pulling her back in an instant. Once he pulled her back, he never wanted to let her go again.
At this moment, he finally understood; he cared about her a great deal.
Towards her, whether it was physical attraction or a habit built from daily life, he cared about her deeply.
Maybe this care wasn’t like or love, but he just couldn’t be without her!
That’s why he so hoped that she would be his first. Because of her head shake, he felt uncomfortable inside.
That’s why he hated her interacting with Lu Jiayuan, as if other men touching her made him feel uneasy in his heart!
He wanted her, no matter what, he just wanted her. Moreover, he realized that she didn’t have that kind of exhilarating feeling toward him that he had hoped for. It seemed, on the contrary, she might still repel him!
Although admitting that his charm was nothing in front of her was unimaginably difficult, it seemed to be the case!
He had to figure out a way for her to always stay by his side. Instead of always losing his temper at her, driving her further away!
