Jiang Xuanqi was also startled, but the next second, she suddenly burst into laughter, "I knew it! There’s no such thing as a simple senior-junior relationship! Assistant Jian, since JASON has made a sincere request, why don’t you give him a chance?"
Lu Jiayuan paid no attention to Jiang Xuanqi’s words, but merely glanced at Jian Anning, "Anning—Moon, I know I’ve made mistakes in the past, can you forgive me?"
When he suddenly used her English name, it made everyone there frown slightly. Jian Anning felt a throbbing at her temples. What on earth was Lu Jiayuan up to? Hadn’t she said enough before?
What’s meant by ’spilled water can’t be retrieved’? She was that kind of person; before things fell apart, anything could be discussed. But once things had gotten out of hand, she would absolutely not turn back!
She didn’t dare look at Yu Zexiao—she had been keeping her history with Lu Jiayuan a secret from him. In fact, there wasn’t much between them; they hadn’t confessed to each other, nor had they spent a day together as a couple.
But the problem was, Yu Zexiao’s pettiness; he wasn’t much bigger than the eye of a needle. If he found out that she had once had a flirtation with Lu Jiayuan, it would turn heaven and earth upside down!
Since so many people were listening, she couldn’t let Lu Jiayuan coerce her into saying something unpleasant. She pressed her throbbing temple and said calmly, "Senior Lu, you’re exaggerating a bit. You haven’t offended me in any way."
"How have I not!" Originally, Lu Jiayuan was half-serious, half-joking, but now, hearing her speak so calmly, he started to feel a bit frantic, "Moon, I was really blinded back then, I don’t like Thera (Cheng Tingting’s English name) at all, the one I like is only..."
He hadn’t finished saying "you" when Jian Anning interrupted him, "I know, our relationship was indeed quite close at the time."
With that one sentence, everyone’s eyes nearly popped out!
Especially Yu Zexiao standing beside her, she could almost hear the sound of him grinding his teeth—knowing his temper, the fact that he hadn’t pulled out a knife and chopped up this "jian-husband-yin-wife" pair was a testament to his good composure!
Lu Jiayuan, across from her, could be seen brimming with joy upon hearing her voice! He knew it, he just knew that Jian Anning had been carrying a torch for him, being single all these years must have been to wait for him!
He knew that after they split, she had a period of "falling from grace". But he definitely wouldn’t mind that. He was clear in his heart that it was because she liked him so much, seeing him with Cheng Tingting, she acted out of despair. As long as she still had him in her heart now, he would definitely treat her doubly well!
"Moon, actually, over these years, I’ve always felt towards you..."
God, god, god! Yu Zexiao was absolutely going to lose it! He thought to himself, she had a memorable ex-boyfriend, and it turned out to be this bastard Lu Jiayuan! He remembered asking Jian Anning if that man was Lu Jiayuan. At the time, Jian Anning insisted it absolutely wasn’t Lu Jiayuan! But now what? He kept calling her "Moon" which sounded like it could be any of "wood/mu/mu/mu/mu", and he couldn’t tell which one he meant.
