Her eyes were calm, her gaze firm. Although Yu Zexiao was still angry, the serene light in her eyes seemed to possess a power that could stabilize one’s heart.
He nodded slightly, and then Jian Anning took a few steps forward. Her voice was soft yet resolute, "William, I have a few words I’d like to say to you. May we speak alone for a moment?"
Situ Xuan glanced at her, then at Yu Zexiao standing behind her.
He was not the impulsive Yu Zexiao and naturally understood the reason Jian Anning wanted to talk to him alone—to avoid a quarrel with Yu Zexiao.
Even at this moment, she still wanted to protect him, to continue being the "woman behind the superstar"?
A sudden pang of pain struck Situ Xuan’s heart, yet he nodded.

A quiet spot on the set, next to a small trench.
Since this was a TV series shooting location, it was equipped with all sorts of things. This small river bend, artificially excavated and quite shallow, revealed the pebbles at the bottom through clear water. The banks were lined with verdant grass and swaying willows—the key point being, there weren’t many people around, and it was near the parking lot.
Jian Anning and Situ Xuan walked one after the other. It was autumn now, still chilly in the early morning air.
While the two walked ahead, Yu Zexiao and Ling Yichuan followed behind in a very sleazy manner. Especially Yu Zexiao, who wished he had a pair of attention-grabbing ears like a rabbit so he could hear what they were saying!
However, despite Yu Zexiao’s efforts to listen, he could not catch a word.
"Hey, aren’t you being a bit much?" Ling Yichuan stood to one side with arms crossed, his peach-blossom eyes filled with—an indescribable sense of speechlessness.
It was truly speechless. To think that Ling Yichuan, the esteemed CEO of Ling Consortium, who dealt with countless pieces of information every day—was now accompanying Yu Xingxing in this ridiculous spying endeavor...
It was embarrassingly lacking in style, to say the least.
"What do you mean, ’a bit much’?" Yu Zexiao continued to sneak forward, bending over as he went. Most absurdly, he had picked up a giant banana leaf to cover his head in case someone spotted him.
Hey, hey, hey, big brother, this isn’t a Jin Yong martial arts world. You’re a living, breathing person hiding behind a banana leaf—do you think no one will see you?
Ling Yichuan felt that if he continued to keep company with him, his own IQ and LEVEL could be dragged down multiple tiers by Yu Zexiao...
Jian Anning stopped in front of a gentle slope, Situ Xuan followed suit, and they both stood, quietly watching the water flowing by in the bend.
Neither of them spoke first. Even Situ Xuan, who was always pressed for time, felt a rare turmoil in his heart, and yet he didn’t know what to say.
"William," Jian Anning began, having long pondered what to say to Situ Xuan if he ever returned, how she would tell him that she was now with Yu Zexiao.
"You don’t need to say it!" Situ Xuan suddenly interjected in a low voice, cutting off her words.
He didn’t want to hear it. He didn’t need to hear it to know that she would say something that would cause him immense pain!
After being sick for a few days, I’m finally getting better and will start updating more regularly! See you at 8 or 9 tonight~~ Friends, don’t overindulge in coolness during summer, it can be deadly...
