She didn’t know that Yu Zexiao and Jian Anning had already reconciled, and still thought this guy was pretty annoying.
Yu Zexiao wished he could push her away right now, but as soon as he was about to speak, he caught Jian Anning giving him a meaningful glance.
Zhao Ziyin wasn’t just anyone, she was the host, with a glib tongue! Although she was a chatterbox and would go all out on appropriate topics, she wouldn’t spill a word about things that should not be said. But if Zhao Ziyin got wind of her and Yu Zexiao’s affair, she feared that Zhao would talk her to death about it day and night!
They had just decided to be together and were not yet stable. Jian Anning planned to wait until her relationship with Yu Zexiao was stable before telling Zhao Ziyin.
After all, there were still too many unstable factors at this time, such as her runaway bride incident, her past, and her background. She intended to share these gradually with Yu Zexiao during the course of their relationship.
Then there was Yu Zexiao’s family situation.
By now, she had met Yu Zexiao’s parents. There was no need to mention Shen Lanxiao, who was warm, welcoming, and approachable. If he knew about her dating Yu Zexiao, he surely wouldn’t oppose and would probably fully support it with both hands and feet. As for his father, Yu Jingxi—though she had only met him once, Jian Anning sensed that he was a parent with a strong presence and firm personal beliefs. Especially since his relationship with Yu Zexiao was so poor, if the two of them were to be together, managing the father-son relationship would be extremely important.
As for the issue of social status, Jian Anning wasn’t worried at all. Her true identity, although not as formidable as the Huanyu Group, was not too shabby either. Revealed to others, she would be considered among the higher tiers of the middle class. Furthermore, she had inherited a large fortune from her father.
One could say that her sole concern was Yu Zexiao’s celebrity status. Now being somewhat part of the entertainment industry, she was acutely aware of the drawbacks of dating a super popular idol. However, these issues could be resolved over the long stretch of time in the future. The priority for now was—to definitely keep her romance with Yu Zexiao under wraps!
Yu Zexiao, of course, understood her concerns, but still felt irked inside. Why should he act all cautious and secretive in front of Zhao Ziyin, as if they were an illicit couple?
However, irked as he was, he knew he couldn’t argue with her at this moment. So, he stepped forward with long strides and sat to the side: "I’m going to watch TV."
He was like the man of the house who had guests over, listlessly sitting to the side watching a show, leaving his wife to chat with her close friend.
Zhao Ziyin didn’t even turn her head, chattering nonstop with Jian Anning. It had been a long time since she had seen Jian Anning, so she naturally had a lot to talk about. Jian Anning responded sporadically, and recalling Zhao Ziyin’s issue with her ex-boyfriend, she immediately asked, "Ziyin, did that jerk Wang Shuoming come looking for you?"
"Of course, he did!" Zhao Ziyin said irritably, "After that incident last time, I completely broke things off with him! But then, I don’t know what happened, he began turning up at the TV station to stalk me every day. Flowers, gifts, making a big public apology—it was totally annoying! Later on, I found out that he wasn’t genuinely apologizing to me; it was because his family’s company encountered a major problem, the one caused by Mr. Si we met last time."
