He was in a quandary, but even with that turmoil, it didn’t mean he welcomed others coveting his woman! The fact that Jian Anning had an "ex-boyfriend" was enough to infuriate him. Yet, there were always one or two wolves lurking around her, waiting for her to fall out with him and to take their chance to claim her position!
Even Jian Anning was taken aback as she widened her eyes and frowned, not expecting Lu Jiayuan to confess his feelings for her at such a moment!
It wasn’t the first time that Lu Jiayuan had expressed his affections for her, but indeed, to do so in front of everyone, was the very first time!
The volume of his voice wasn’t low just now, so, probably, everyone nearby heard it!
Yu Zexiao was extremely agitated. One after another, these men were rushing to confess to Jian Anning before he could, in front of everyone! When in fact, he was her man!
In that moment, Yu Zexiao immediately stood up, just about to say something when Jiang Xuanqi cut in with a cold sneer, "Wow, this is what you call ’The prince is earnest, but the goddess is loveless!’ Such a pity, the little assistant you fancy has quite the background! There’s no shortage of men chasing after her, and you, you’re just the most pitiable one!"
Jiang Xuanqi’s intention was originally to mock Lu Jiayuan, and at the same time, she inadvertently dragged Jian Anning, Yu Zexiao, and even Situ Xuan into it! What she meant was, look at you all, you’re making so much fuss over just a small assistant, is it worth all these men fighting over her? Moreover, they’re all top-tier men!
Be it Yu Zexiao, Situ Xuan, or even Lu Jiayuan for that matter, any of them placed outside would be handsome and wealthy high-quality guys. Such men are actually falling for a woman who isn’t the prettiest, doesn’t have the sexiest figure, and whose personality isn’t particularly great, not to mention she comes from a very average background — this is truly like an inspirational drama, even more exaggerated than the female protagonist Xiu Momo in "Rock Youth"!
But what she didn’t know was that Lu Jiayuan was aware of Jian Anning’s background; her assets, when compared to the seemingly high-profile actress before them, definitely left her several streets ahead!
You see, even though Jiang Xuanqi looked like a big star, many of her clothes and jewelry were sponsored. As soon as an event was over, they had to be returned to the sponsors. Meanwhile, the companies, shares, real estate, and cars that Jian Anning owned in Vancouver were all left to her by her father, and in terms of net assets, she had much more than these actors.
Whoever married her would not only have less struggle for many years but would also have no worries about food and clothing. Jian Anning actually had quite a few suitors, but since she neither liked Caucasians nor slick men who were only interested in dating without considering marriage, she had remained single to this date (of course, he was unaware of Jian Anning’s relationship with Yu Zexiao).
In that moment, he nonetheless put on a look of deep, unregrettable affection, looking at Jian Anning and saying, "Back then, it was I who wronged her. So now, whatever she does, it’s all deserved on my part."
Just this one sentence!
With just this one sentence, many who were eavesdropping behind the door couldn’t help but open the crack a bit wider!
What, what did they hear? Lu Jiayuan and Jian Anning had once had an affair?
And from the sounds of it, their falling out was also because Lu Jiayuan had done something wrong?
Thanks to the generous "Bangoran" for the tip~~ Will Xingxing, this weirdo, treat Anning a bit better out of provocation from Lu Jiayuan? To be continued tomorrow~
