She also forgot that if it weren’t for catching the tailwind of being a "Ze lady," her rise to fame would never have been so rapid!
Yu Zexiao’s eyes slightly narrowed, his pitch-black pupils shrinking into needle-like points! He looked like a fierce beast, ready to annihilate everything he saw!
He articulated every single word, his violently fluctuating chest revealing the intense anger within!
Seeing his demeanor, Jian Anning knew that given Yu Zexiao’s personality, he might very well make their romantic relationship public at any moment!
This was absolutely not a good time!
Before she could speak, it was Lu Jiayuan beside her who spoke first. He didn’t try to mediate, instead, he looked down and exclaimed, "Anning, what happened to your foot?"
"It’s nothing," Jian Anning immediately shook her head, "I just got it wet by accident when I was washing my hands."
"Is it serious? Your leg looks really swollen," Lu Jiayuan’s comment instantly redirected everyone’s attention to her leg. Although she offered no explanation, it made people think: Look at how severely her leg is injured; how could she possibly have an affair with Yu Zexiao!
Lu Jiayuan first dissociated the relationship between Jian Anning and Yu Zexiao, then, in the next second, he exaggeratedly asked Jiang Xuanqi, "Hey, Miss Jiang, why are you here instead of resting in your room at this time of night? Don’t tell me—you’re planning to steal something?"
Jiang Xuanqi was furious, "What did you say?"
"Or maybe—you’re here to peep?" he chuckled, "Hmm, that makes sense, Zexiao was once the subject of your scandal, after all. It’s just a pity—"
"A pity what?" Jiang Xuanqi’s brows twitched uncontrollably, anticipating that Lu Jiayuan was not about to say anything pleasant. However, she still subconsciously wanted to ask.
"A pity that he’s not the least bit interested in you!"
"What did you say!" Jiang Xuanqi flew into a rage! Even though she knew what Lu Jiayuan was saying was true, she could not accept such words spoken in front of her!
"I didn’t say anything. The person in question is standing right in front of you, why not ask him whether he has any interest in you or not?" Lu Jiayuan’s provocative rhetoric left Jiang Xuanqi at a loss for how to continue the conversation!
Did Jiang Xuanqi not know just what her relationship with Yu Zexiao was?
Jiang Xuanqi was speechless, while Lu Jiayuan suggested, "Anning, let me help you back, okay? It’s still a bit of a distance to where you’re staying."
"No need, no need." Not to mention anything else, with Yu Zexiao standing beside her, Jian Anning couldn’t possibly let Lu Jiayuan escort her back! Otherwise, knowing Zexiao’s jealous nature, she would certainly be "tortured" to death by him!
Jiang Xuanqi found an opening and immediately smirked, "Wow, JASON, look at you calling me out! Aren’t you doing the same? Pretending to be a ’senior’, are you trying to undermine Zexiao? You like Miss Jian, the assistant, but she doesn’t take you seriously at all!"
However, what she didn’t expect was that upon hearing this, Lu Jiayuan actually nodded, "Yes, I do like Anning. I’ve liked her since a long time ago."
With that one statement, Jiang Xuanqi was left speechless midway!
It wasn’t just Jiang Xuanqi who was stunned; even Yu Zexiao furrowed his brows, his gaze turning severe as he looked at him!
