Moreover, early this morning, Situ Xuan sent flowers to Jian Anning, and everyone saw it. Such a grand gesture was definitely equivalent to a public declaration of affection!
Even if other people, like Jiang Xuanqi, had no fondness for Jian Anning, she still wouldn’t dare to offend Situ Xuan.
Yu Zexiao boldly pulled Jian Anning to the centermost seat, where it seemed, once she sat down, she was somewhat trembling.
Especially since Yu Zexiao was on her left and Situ Xuan on her right. Sandwiched between them, she had not only to bear the crew’s unusual gazes, but also to occasionally become a target of Yu Zexiao and Situ Xuan’s back-and-forth exchanges.
What is meant by "being a sandwich cookie"? Perhaps, Jian Anning was now more profoundly experiencing the discomfort of being just that!
While waiting for the dishes to be served, the two men didn’t forget to take digs at each other—of course, the initiator was usually Yu Zexiao. At this moment, he said, "Mr. Situ, you’re also twenty-eight this year, right? Married? Do you have a steady partner?"
Situ Xuan, his head lowered, replied calmly with his grey-blue eyes, serene and indifferent, "Not yet."
"Oh wow, I heard that customs are quite open in the United States, and a man like Mr. Situ must have quite a few sweethearts, right?"
Yu Zexiao chuckled mischievously, the words he uttered were quite insidious. If Situ Xuan was "experienced" and took a casual approach to love, then the young assistant would definitely not choose him!
Situ Xuan blinked his grey-blue eyes and looked at him with a faint smile, "Zero has also studied abroad at Princeton, hasn’t he? However, it’s rare to find a celebrity like Zero who, after years in the industry, still has no scandals. If you were in the United States, people might suspect that you are..."
He didn’t finish what they might suspect. But everyone present knew. Even in Huaxia Country, there had been rumors lately—Yu Zexiao had no romantic scandals because he was GAY!
Sure enough, Yu Zexiao understood and instantly became furious, "What did you say!"
But Situ Xuan chose not to reply further, simply bowing his head and taking a light sip of Mongolian milk tea.
The calmer Situ Xuan was, the angrier Yu Zexiao became! He was about to explode with rage when Jian Anning, fearing they would start fighting at the banquet, immediately tugged at his sleeve.
Yu Zexiao’s furious eyes collided with Jian Anning’s and took a while to calm down.
Hmph, he might have been angry about anything else, but accusing him of being gay... sorry, whether he was gay or not, Jian Anning knew best! From another angle, it also proved that he was definitely a very "faithful" man, because he simply didn’t care about anyone else, and would never cheat because of this!
With this thought, he instead felt a proud sense of satisfaction and stealthily caught her hand under the table, caressing it delicately. Far from being angry, he was even chuckling with a triumphant look in his eyes as he glanced at Jian Anning, "As an artist, I have no choice. Every little action is under too much scrutiny, naturally, I won’t have as casual a love life as Mr. Situ."
Others couldn’t see, but Situ Xuan, sitting by Jian Anning’s side, saw everything very clearly!
Situ Xuan put down the milk tea, and his eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly when he saw him holding Jian Anning’s hand, declaring his territory.
