They say a heroic woman is cautious around persistent men. Moreover, even if Yu Zexiao didn’t like Situ Xuan, he had to admit upon reflection that this man was indeed outstanding.
Appearance—although not as good as his, Situ Xuan’s mixed-blood features were also not bad.
Physique—probably not as good as his deliberately sculpted chest muscles and six-pack abs, but Situ Xuan was slightly taller in stature.
Family background—this should be incomparable, but Yu Zexiao had a feeling that Situ Xuan’s family wasn’t too shabby either.
Status—he was a megastar, but Situ Xuan, despite his young age, was also a high-level executive in a film and TV company, not a bad match.
Attitude towards women—here there was no contest, he was completely outdone! Situ Xuan’s maturity, steadiness, thoughtfulness, and ubiquitous gentleness made it so that even if Jian Anning didn’t fall in love with him, she couldn’t bear to harshly reject him. Moreover, due to his relentless efforts, she had considered giving him a chance.
With such a competitor, if it weren’t for Yu Zexiao’s early confession and decisive move to win her over, he might have lost to Situ Xuan!
But now, this guy had disappeared and even had the audacity to hit on his woman!
This time, Yu Zexiao repeated the words "his woman" to himself emphatically! Jian Anning was his, both body and soul, and anyone who coveted her could drop dead!
Thinking this, he let out a cold laugh and, without another word, hung up the call he was about to make.
After a moment’s thought, worrying that Situ Xuan might call again, he quickly added his name to the blacklist!
Still feeling insecure, he went on to delete all call logs associated with Situ Xuan from his phone. Hmph, he wanted to see if that bastard Situ Xuan would still have a chance to hit on his woman!
Having done all this, Yu Zexiao suddenly remembered how his own name appeared on Jian Anning’s cellphone. He immediately browsed through her contacts and seeing the neatly written "Yu Zexiao," his whole body began to feel uncomfortable!
Couldn’t this woman be a bit more creative? Even the name calling was so formal, totally lacking any sense of romance!
Isn’t it said that lovers should say things like "my little kiss, my cutie, you are my rose, you are my flower," or at the very least, use some affectionate nicknames? That’s how they do it in TV dramas!
Right then, Yu Zexiao remembered how Jian Anning had wrapped her arms around his neck and called him "dear" that night. He immediately changed his name in her phone to "Dear" and even set it as speed dial number 1. Turning back, he also changed her name in his phone to "Xiaobao"—this was not just any nickname; it was what he loved to call her when they were intimate.
Once he finished, the juvenile Yu Zexiao was all smiles, looking at "Dear" and "Xiaobao" on the screen when Jian Anning came out of the bathroom and caught him fiddling with her phone.
"Zexiao, what’s up?" Jian Anning asked, puzzled, while Yu Zexiao was beaming like the spring sun, "Nothing much, look!"
