There was a park here, with pavilions, towers, and several artificial mountains constructed in the style of Suzhou Garden. There was even a relatively private space within the artificial mountains. Yu Zexiao, after all, was a celebrity, and arguing in public would certainly make headlines.
"Come here." Jian Anning pulled him and stuffed Yu Zexiao into the open space inside the artificial mountain.
The light dimmed instantly, with a few slices of brightness filtering through the hollowed-out Taihu rocks of the artificial mountain. Jian Anning, with a tinge of thin anger, lowered her voice, "Zexiao, what on earth is going on with you?"
"What on earth is going on! I’d like to ask, what on earth is going on between you and that Situ guy!" No longer restrained by the presence of others, Yu Zexiao also stopped pretending. He was very not pleased to see Situ Xuan deliberately getting close to her!
"I have nothing to do with him!" Jian Anning was at a loss for words. To be honest, she had not felt even a hint of secret delight or showing off about Situ Xuan’s aggressive behavior lately. If anything, she felt overwhelmed—because she wasn’t alone anymore, she had come to Canada to escape a marriage! Did she now have the mind to think about all these romantic entanglements? She had also made it very clear to Situ Xuan; she wouldn’t consider personal issues before returning to her country.
"Then why is he acting !" Yu Zexiao was also very angry, okay? It wasn’t like he hadn’t declared his sovereignty in front of Situ Xuan, but the more he did, the more Situ took liberties! Was he belittling himself, thinking that just because he was a celebrity, he wouldn’t dare to go public with his private affairs? Otherwise, it wouldn’t be Situ Xuan’s turn to be so arrogant!
"How would I know!" Jian Anning was also puzzled; she wasn’t without suitors in Canada. But there had never been one like Situ Xuan, both forceful and gentle. Even when she deliberately distanced herself, he would quietly close in. "I told him a long time ago that I couldn’t consider these things right now. If he doesn’t listen, there’s nothing I can do; I can’t restrict him!"
Yu Zexiao was taken aback, "You mean, you’ve told him that you won’t choose him, but he’s insisting on sticking to you?"
Jian Anning nodded, "Yes."
"So, you don’t like him at all, and it’s just him being delusional?" Yu Zexiao pressed further.
Jian Anning was startled and looked up at him. Although it was dim in the artificial mountain, she seemed to perceive the increasing delight in his eyes!
Had she said something that led him to misunderstand?
Indeed, Yu Zexiao had only remembered Jian Anning’s words about ignoring Situ Xuan’s advances, forgetting her statement, "I can’t consider these things right now."
Her meaning was, at this stage, she wouldn’t choose either him or Situ Xuan.
But who was Yu Zexiao? An absolute egomaniac! He never considered the possibility of being rejected. He was merely smug, knowing that the little assistant wasn’t the fickle kind; she was firm in her stand! Hmph, what’s the use of you, Situ, pushing so hard? She doesn’t even like Situ Xuan; she was his from the start!
Thinking this, he felt as though he was soaked in honey, all sweet, and his anger dissipated in an instant. Jian Anning, seeing the shining light in his eyes, suddenly felt uneasy and quickly turned away:
