This guy, why was he so jealous, clearly he cared about her, clearly he was concerned about her, yet he acted as if he was going to scold her. She asked again, "What do you want to hear me say?"
Yu Zexiao heard this and thought, great, there’s drama indeed! He narrowed his eyes immediately and said with a stern face, "Spill it, tell me everything about you two!"
Jian Anning smiled, "He and I were classmates at the University of Toronto. He was a few years older than me. When I was a sophomore, he was in his first year of graduate studies. We happened to take the same class and were both in the drama club, so we got to know each other."
"And then?" Yu Xingxing was not thrilled since he hadn’t heard the crux of the story.
"And then? There’s no and then, haha!" She said with deliberate laughter.
"How can there be no and then!" Yu Zexiao became anxious, "Didn’t he say that he always liked you a lot, that he did something wrong before which made you hate him, and that he’s always wanted to ask for your forgiveness?"
"Nope," Jian Anning shook her head, "He was my sister’s boyfriend, strictly speaking, he should be considered my ’ex-brother-in-law’ or something like that. If anyone should be annoyed, it should be my sister, it has nothing to do with me."
Jian Anning was now extremely grateful that she had never foolishly confessed her feelings back then. Otherwise, dealing with Lu Jiayuan’s messy and persistent efforts would really be a hassle now.
"You’re lying!" Yu Zexiao didn’t believe her.
"Zexiao, you are the first man I fell in love with, and also the one I love the most to this day." She hugged him tightly, feeling his heart beating intensely, and felt incredibly sweet inside. "Before you, I wouldn’t say no other man has ever moved my heart. But only you, the only man I’ve ever loved deeply in my life, only you!"
With just one sentence, Yu Zexiao’s previous worries that she might have treated her "ex-boyfriend" the same way, or even better than him, were completely erased!
He felt a warm fuzziness inside, and looked away, not wanting her to see the pink blush constantly bubbling up in his heart.
Damn it, how embarrassing, he, a big man, was actually so moved by a few words from a young girl that he was utterly surrendered! This was simply—too embarrassing!
Alright then, he was the only one she loved the most, so that "ex-boyfriend" of hers might just be someone who stirred a slight "flutter" in her heart—no, that’s still being moved!
He was quite displeased and asked gruffly, "How many have moved your heart?"
Jian Anning initially thought she would dislike his pettiness, but now, seeing such a stunning man by her side asking about her past with such a tsundere tone, she found it so—interesting!
"If you had made your move a bit later, I think I might have been moved by William." She teased him on purpose with a mischievous smile.
"What, you actually considered getting together with that guy surnamed Situ?" Yu Zexiao was furious! He didn’t know why, but from the first time he saw Situ Xuan, he took an instant dislike to him, and his aversion for him was even greater than for Lu Jiayuan!
Jian Anning just laughed, "If you had kept that same attitude towards me at that time, and even continued going on blind dates, why couldn’t I look for someone else?" She thought for a moment and added, "Anyway, William was quite nice to me, tender and considerate, and always looking out for my well-being. If it hadn’t been for you taking advantage of me in the hot springs, I might have..."
