"There’s no need." This time, Jian Anning was uncompromising, "My relationship with him is purely professional."
After she spoke, she still gave Situ Xuan a very polite salute, "I’m very sorry, William, that you were caught in this mess because of me."
"It has nothing to do with you." Situ Xuan smiled, his expression serene, a stark contrast to the hotheaded freak he usually was. Seeing the smile on his face also considerably eased her mood. So, she too made her farewells, "Then, I’ll see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow." Situ Xuan’s grey-blue eyes twinkled, and he added meaningfully, "I’ll be waiting for you."
What he was waiting for, only the two of them knew.
Jian Anning didn’t say anything further, but waved farewell once more before she walked out the door.
Qin Xian watched from the side, a faint smile still on her face—clearly, she had been very pleased speaking with Situ Xuan!
He frowned, thinking that if Yu Xingxing didn’t make an effort soon, perhaps Jian Anning really might be charmed away by Situ Xuan—it was a distinct possibility!

"Let me go, I’m going to kill that bastard!" Yu Zexiao was seething with anger, and even though Ling Yichuan and Mo Siyu had dragged him out, he still sought to rush back in and confront Situ Xuan!
The scene he had burst into left him completely stunned! Ling Yinuo had told him that the area was full of villas. Jian Anning, a woman, going back to a villa area with Situ Xuan late at night—it clearly signaled an intention to cheat!
And what had he seen? He had seen the huge poster of Jian Anning in the living room!
Especially, when he was hitting Situ Xuan and Jian Anning took Situ’s side, it made it impossible for him to calm down!
"Xingxing, be rational!" Ling Yichuan was obviously more mature. He too sensed that this time, Jian Anning was serious!
Her indifference towards Yu Zexiao was so evident she wouldn’t even speak a word on his behalf in front of others.
"Rational about what! She is , how can I be calm!" Yu Zexiao roared. It was the first time he had completely lost any semblance of control over her! Seeing her defend Situ Xuan had ignited all his pent-up anger!
He wouldn’t think about love or anything; he only knew that—Jian Anning had never spoken to him with such an indifferent tone, so distant, so cold!
Suddenly, he remembered what she had said that day, "Stop bothering me, it’s impossible between us."
It wasn’t that he planned to shirk his responsibilities towards her, so why was she showing such cold indifference!
He needed to settle scores with her properly!
Soon, Jian Anning walked out of the house. The remnants of a smile on her face disappeared the moment she caught sight of Yu Zexiao’s furious gaze.
She gave him a cold look, while on his sides, Ling Yichuan and Mo Siyu were cautiously watching, fearing he might do something rash. Qin Xian rushed over to play the peacemaker, "Work is important, work is important!"
He could tell that Jian Anning was someone who took her job very seriously. Ling Yichuan and Mo Siyu also came to persuade, "Yeah, if there’s anything, we can talk about it when we get back! We’re outside now, it would be terrible if any reporters or paparazzi caught this!"
