Yu Zexiao’s eyebrows shot up, good, he also wanted to confront her! Let’s see how she explains what just happened!
They both walked outside, each harboring their own thoughts. The studio was a bit messy due to the relocation happening over the next few days. However, their shooting base was on the edge of the film city. The surrounding setting was retro, with a stream and a stone bridge over it. Jian Anning strolled leisurely, leading the way, while Yu Zexiao, with a grim expression, followed behind.
Jian Anning chose to talk here mainly because this part of the bridge was seldom visited by people. Moreover, once she stood on the bridge, with its open view, she could leave promptly if she spotted anyone. Besides—the setting was nice and quiet, a suitable place for romantic talks—oh, no, for heart-to-heart conversations.
She slowly stepped onto the stone bridge, the weeping willows brushing by, and the babbling of the water below. Leaning on the railing and looking out seemed to lift the spirits considerably.
"Zexiao." She stood on the bridge and did not look back at him but suddenly spoke, her voice a bit ethereal.
Yu Zexiao was full of irritation. His mind was still in a state of annoyance with Lu Jiayuan, and hearing her call his name made him frown more unpleasantly: "What!"
"I’ve thought over what you said today."
She looked at the flowing water as a breeze blew by, taking away the summer’s heat. Her hair fluttered in the air, reflecting on the pool of clear water, looking extraordinarily profound.
"I still feel that I can’t agree to you just yet."
"What?" Yu Zexiao appeared to not understand, his eyes widening as he looked at her.
He, was he being rejected?
A super-popular idol, confessing to a woman with nothing at all, and he was being rejected?!
Jian Anning turned to look at him, her eyes deep and calm like a still pond: "I won’t leave, but I can’t agree to be with you... like that. That night was just a mistake, I never thought about being with you afterward. We, in every aspect, are not suitable, I......"
Indeed they were not suitable. Without even the foundation of a relationship, how could they jump straight to O-O-X-X!
Perhaps an ordinary woman, being confessed to by a superstar handsome guy like Yu Zexiao, might give him a chance even if she wasn’t fond of him. But she wasn’t just anyone. Due to her parents’ divorce when she was young and neglect in her stepfather’s home growing up, followed by being cheated on and hurt by Lu Jiayuan, she was.
Her attitude towards marriage and relationships was exceedingly cautious—to put it less kindly, absolutely pessimistic. Unless she truly liked someone, she definitely wouldn’t let herself go.
However, she hadn’t considered that Yu Zexiao didn’t really like or love her; he just wanted to maintain a stable relationship, that’s all!
"We’re not suitable, so you think you and Lu Jiayuan are?" Yu Zexiao was furious. His face darkened as he questioningly challenged her!
Jian Anning was taken aback. Why was Lu Jiayuan being brought up again? She shook her head: "No. There’s really nothing between him and me."
"Then why won’t you agree!" Yu Zexiao took a step forward, his gaze intense! His anger was through the roof! Jian Anning dared to refuse him! He, the Little Heavenly King, for the first time showing closeness to a woman, was harshly rejected!
