So tender, so comforting, so hearty, and so meticulous—as if the Yu Zexiao before her was her sky, her earth, her everything!
While they were chatting, Jian Anning suddenly felt something was amiss.
She looked around, and this look nearly made her jump out of her skin!
Because she saw Situ Xuan sitting in his Bentley, gazing intently at her with profound eyes!
She and Yu Zexiao had long planned to be together, so it was only right to clarify things with Situ Xuan; there was nothing wrong with that.
But in the early morning, in the empty parking lot—Situ Xuan sitting alone in his car, could he have been waiting for them all night?
How could this be possible! She clearly remembered that Situ Xuan had matters to attend to and should have left last night!
Caught in her surprise, Jian Anning fell behind the two who were chatting and laughing ahead. Yu Zexiao and Ling Yichuan were talking when they realized their wife was missing. Looking back, they saw Jian Anning standing in place, her expression—somewhat astonished!
"What’s wrong, Anning?" Perhaps because there were no other people around, as those at the set were still sleeping at the lodging place, Yu Zexiao naturally walked over and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, planting a kiss on her cheek.
With that kiss, he realized that something about Jian Anning’s demeanor was a bit off—
As if frightened, her entire body was somewhat stiff!
Yu Zexiao was even more curious and followed her gaze. Then, he too seemed to see those gray-blue pupils inside the car, carefully observing them!
Yu Zexiao’s lips instantly curved into a smile—
It really was a case of finding something without even looking for it! He had long planned to flaunt his ownership of Jian Anning in front of Situ Xuan, but unexpectedly, the man had come himself to watch, eagerly!
He needed to let him know—that Jian Anning was his woman, for life, forever! The Situ family would never, ever have a chance!
"Hey, what’s wrong with you two?"
Walking ahead, Ling Yichuan realized that the two behind him were gone. Turning back, he saw that their gazes were fixed on a black Bentley behind them!
—Situ Xuan sat inside, his gray-blue eyes steadily watching them!
Ling Yichuan was stunned, having not expected to find Situ Xuan here at all! From his appearance, it seemed he might have been waiting the entire night!
In the parking lot, waiting for Jian Anning all night, no matter how one thought about it, this man seemed way too terrifying!
Perhaps Yu Zexiao hadn’t had any interaction with the business world and was not very aware of it.
But people like Ling Yichuan, holding the president position at the Ling Consortium, naturally understood the business community better.
Even though he didn’t know Situ Xuan personally, in his eyes, Situ Xuan’s expression at that moment was just like those gamblers at Las Vegas tables!
A high-stakes gamble, a desperate all-in bet, yet losing everything!
Such a man, so powerful and dangerous, so angry and forlorn, so hopeful and injured... like a lone wolf in the wilderness, eyes gleaming with cruelty and bloodlust, wanting to devour its prey completely!
However, the expression on Situ Xuan’s face didn’t frighten Yu Zexiao or Jian Anning.
Especially not Yu Zexiao, who had grown up under the terrifying gaze of his father, Yu Jingxi. He was not afraid at all!
