How could there be no feelings? Even if she was rational, even if she was conservative, Yu Zexiao was indeed the only man she had ever been involved with in her memory, and moreover, he had shown her such intense longing! He yearned for her, day and night they were constantly close, how could she not have been moved even slightly?
If she really didn’t like him at all, she wouldn’t have allowed him to embrace and kiss her over and over again, and on several occasions, they nearly went too far. Even if these feelings hadn’t intensified to the point of love, her inner balance had indeed shifted in his favor time and time again.
But now, he didn’t dare look at her, let alone answer her question—he had never loved her as a girlfriend!
"You don’t love me, do you?" A faint tartness filled her heart in an instant, and although it had long been a foregone conclusion, she still felt somewhat sad.
It turned out she had harbored a tiny bit of hope that Yu Zexiao saw her as more than just a bed companion, as a real boyfriend and girlfriend!
Even if it wasn’t passionate love, shouldn’t there at least be a sliver of affection?
However, Yu Zexiao’s evasion at this moment had disappointed her.
Which woman could accept the insult of being loved not at all, but merely sought after for bed?
In the end, she had been a bit moved. Even if this stirring of emotion hadn’t yet grown into love for him, she wouldn’t have put up with his advances time after time, having never resolutely resisted him.
"You should go, and don’t bother me anymore. You and I—it’s impossible." She spoke the last three words decisively! Her eyes also hid the fleeting disappointment, returning to a calm and peaceful expression.
Yu Zexiao sensed her profound disappointment and wanted to step forward, but she dodged past him.
Then, she walked to the side, changed into a new set of clothes that Yu Zexiao had torn off, and tidied up her hair again.
Throughout the process, her movements were slow but resolved, and once she was done, she walked back to the door and opened it.
Shen Lanxiao was still waiting at the door, and as soon as she saw Jian Anning come out, she immediately approached and asked with concern, "Anning, that rotten boy didn’t do anything to you, did he?"
"It’s nothing, Aunt Shen." With her worries set aside, Jian Anning smiled faintly, "I have some things to take care of, so I’m heading out."
Her smile was too faint, like a cloud on the horizon that would disperse with the slightest breeze. Shen Lanxiao had a bad feeling, and just as she was about to say something, Jian Anning had already shouldered her bag and walked to the doorway.
"Xingxing!" Shen Lanxiao’s face darkened, in her view, it was this rotten boy’s temper acting up again, causing trouble instead of doing something worthwhile, and taking it out on an unrelated girl!
After several days of interaction, she had taken a great liking to Jian Anning. Finding her attentive and gentle, with proper conduct, she lamented why her rotten boy hadn’t taken a fancy to her. But just now, clearly because she herself had brought her son to the urologist, in the end, he had vented his frustrations on the unrelated Jian Anning!
Shen Lanxiao said, "Xingxing! What have you done! You’re a grown man and yet you get angry with a young lady! Go and apologize to her!"
