Nie Anni’s beautiful eyes slanted as she gave him a glance, and she said word by word, "Because he is considerate enough, and he has the manners. If you don’t mind your girlfriend falling in love, getting married, and having children with that man, then go ahead and continue with the matchmaking!"
"You’re saying she would fall in love with a Situ and marry and have children..." The thought that she might someday open her body to bear Situ Xuan’s child caused his pupils to suddenly constrict.
"That has nothing to do with me." Nie Anni couldn’t be bothered with these matters and, before leaving, threw in one last comment, "You pay the bill, since you are a man after all."
Yu Zexiao was left alone where he stood, without anger, only the words of Nie Anni echoing in his mind—"your girlfriend falling in love, getting married, and having children with that man"!
Falling in love, getting married, having children!
He truly had never considered this question before, even though Situ Xuan was always hauntingly following Jian Anning, which annoyed him greatly.
He also never thought Situ Xuan would truly end up together with Jian Anning!
But recently, the two of them had indeed become much closer! Especially since Jian Anning used to be concerned about his feelings, maintaining a deliberate distance even when Situ Xuan wanted to get closer. But now...
Though he was reluctant to admit it, his own attempt at matchmaking to spite her seemed to have no effect on her at all! Instead, she had grown even more intimate with Situ Xuan!
The mere thought of his little assistant’s soft and tender body gracefully beneath Situ Xuan, the two of them intertwined as intimately as they had been, and the possibility of them having that man’s child in the future, filled him with an acrid emotion that inflated him like a balloon!
No matter what, he couldn’t suppress this intense feeling!
In that moment, Yu Zexiao suddenly realized—
Perhaps his feelings for his little assistant weren’t of a platonic soulmate variety, but he truly cared for her! He acted like a child in front of her, carelessly happy one moment, then causing trouble when displeased, just to get her attention!
If it weren’t for the fact that he had been infuriated by her and Situ Xuan, he wouldn’t have rushed into matchmaking to provoke her!
But now, it had backfired...
True to his impetuous nature, as soon as Nie Anni left, Yu Zexiao immediately thought of going back to find Jian Anning!
He didn’t want to wait another moment, fearing that if he did, Jian Anning might truly be taken away by Situ Xuan!

As evening approached, Situ Xuan’s Bentley pulled up at the hotel entrance.
"We’re here." When the car stopped, Situ Xuan glanced at Jian Anning beside him.
She was clearly in a bad mood today, seemingly distracted the whole time. Situ Xuan initially thought she was upset about Yu Zexiao’s matchmaking, and even though he felt sour about it, he knew that getting over a relationship definitely requires going through such a period, so he didn’t disturb her. Instead, he took her to the teahouse where they had tea once before and sat with her for an entire afternoon.

This subplot will become quite important later on, affecting the storyline. Additionally, the idiotic Xingxing will start chasing after his wife~~
