"I, I know," Jian Anning nodded, "But he won’t betray me."
This relationship seemed to tip in Yu Zexiao’s favor, but actually, it didn’t. It was just the opposite—Yu Zexiao was the one who couldn’t attain her affection, and as for Jian Anning—if she hadn’t developed feelings for him, she could now let go with ease, or even agree to Situ Xuan!
Because it was he who had the obsession; he couldn’t just choose any other woman! But Jian Anning was quite normal; she didn’t have that extreme purity obsession where it had to be a specific someone. Even if she broke up with Yu Zexiao, she could still be with other men. Yet, Yu Zexiao would no longer have that chance!
If it had been possible, he wouldn’t have wanted to find himself in this situation, he had struggled with it for a long time before.
But what could he do?
He just couldn’t be without her!
"Damn, so all that I just said was for nothing? Tell me, on what basis won’t he betray you? I know he seldom has scandals, but even with few scandals, he’s still a normal man, I don’t believe he doesn’t have women."
"He doesn’t," Jian Anning immediately replied, "On this point, I can be certain, he truly doesn’t."
Zhao Ziyin gave her a skeptical look, "You’ve only been by his side for three months, right? How could you know? And also—"
As she spoke, she suddenly recalled something, "For a star as big as him, the absence of women around him could only mean—one, he isn’t capable! Or two, he’s actually into men! Are you sure you want to fall for a man like that?"
Jian Anning broke out in a sweat. She felt embarrassed to say that Yu Zexiao only had feelings for her due to some special reason.
And furthermore, those feelings were very intense—he was right next door, desperately waiting for her!
"Could it be, you and he have already..." Zhao Ziyin glanced at her friend, and upon seeing no objection, she said in disbelief, "It can’t be true, can it?"
"Yes," she nodded, "It just happened all so confusedly..."
Zhao Ziyin’s eyes widened. To be honest, in these times, premarital relations are incredibly common. Especially considering that both had studied in Canada where the culture is more open, it wasn’t considered a big deal at all.
However, these two were exceptions. Jian Anning doesn’t need to be mentioned, and Zhao Ziyin, during university years because of Wang Shuoming, even though she had pursuers in Canada, she never accepted any. Just before returning to China, she discovered that Wang Shuoming had been unfaithful, and since she had always been busy with her career, she regarded these matters quite lightly.
She understood her friend’s personality; if it had been just a one-night stand, that would have been it. But seeing her now, it was clear that she had developed feelings for Yu Zexiao, which led to their relationship—but that Yu Zexiao guy, no matter how good-looking, his temper, personality, and sometimes childish behavior of using other women to get to her, made Zhao Ziyin feel he wasn’t worthy of Jian Anning at all!
"I know what you want to say, and I know... perhaps with him, it won’t last long." Jian Anning sighed, "But what can I do, liking someone is just liking them."
This was different from that unspoken, somewhat innocent first love with Lu Jiayuan years ago.
