From outside the car window, one simply couldn’t see inside the vehicle—these windows, in Hollywood, were even dubbed "car-shake facilitators." Hiding inside, as long as the windows remained closed, not even the most formidable paparazzi could snap a single picture.
Ordinary women, upon entering this car, not to mention whether they would find it novel—at least they would be curious enough to look around, right? However, Jian Anning’s gaze was clear and bright. Even though she was anxious to find Yu Zexiao, she didn’t exhibit an overly flustered demeanor.
"Don’t worry, this isn’t your fault," he said, his eyes flashing a warm smile.
"Thank you," Jian Anning knew that once she got into the car and told the driver the address, all that was left was to wait.
"But it is still my responsibility. I am his assistant, and no matter the reason he abandoned his work, I cannot shirk the blame," she said earnestly, her eyes clear, not seeming to deliberately keep her distance for the sake of making a good impression, which only made her seem all the more genuine.
She was indeed an interesting woman, careful and meticulous in her work. And she was wearing the red dress she hadn’t changed out of just yet. The bright red color made her fair skin even more dazzling. The form-fitting design outlined her exquisite body curves beautifully. Her face was barely made-up, retaining a fresh and natural appearance.
Innocence and allure, two extremely contrasting feelings, were perfectly fused in her. This kind of seductiveness was even more impactful than the blatant provocativeness of outright sensuality!
He initially thought she had a nice personality, but now upon closer observation, he realized she was also quite a "substantial" woman!
Situ Xuan’s gaze deepened further.
Ya Jiayi was sitting in the front seat, able to see the backseat through the rear-view mirror. Although her BOSS was infamous in the United States, it wasn’t as if no women had thrown themselves at him. Although he was not fond of the opposite sex, he certainly wasn’t like Yu Zexiao, a greenhorn who hadn’t seen much of the world.
However, this was the first time she had seen a woman get into his car!
Moreover, he was looking at Jian Anning sitting next to him with that pure, masculine gaze, deeply scanning her!
Ya Jiayi’s fists clenched involuntarily.
Maybe at the beginning, she too had served Situ Xuan with trepidation. But as she spent more time by his side, she seemed to become gradually captivated by his charm!
However, the closer she got to him, the more she realized just how detached he was!
In his heart, there was only his vast empire, only the Situ Family, only the conquest and expansion of new territories. To him, women were no more than dust and driftwood, not worth a second thought. Even if he had decided to take Yu Zexiao’s woman this time, it was only for the sake of revenge, not out of liking.
But now, she was a bit unsure.
---------------------
The ride to the bar was shrouded in silence. Jian Anning did indeed find the familiar nanny car nearby and without a word, she rushed into the bar.
The moment she kicked open the door, she indeed saw Yu Zexiao and a few of his no-good friends sitting together, with Yu Zexiao holding a glass of liquor. In front of him, the table was lined with a row of empty bottles, the room reeked of alcohol—it was clear the merriment was at its peak!
