"What nonsense are you talking about? If you weren’t you, then I wouldn’t have come to your side."
If he had truly lived up to his father’s expectations and inherited the Huanyu Group, maybe when the two of them met, it wouldn’t have been as a star and an assistant, but rather as business partners or competitors in the market.
Then, they wouldn’t have had the time to meet, encounter each other, get to know each other, and eventually fall in love.
Many things simply cannot be inferred backwards from the outcome to figure out what should have happened back then, as long as every step they took was true to their hearts, that’s enough.
If Yu Zexiao weren’t Yu Zexiao, then they wouldn’t have reached this point now.
"This kind of thing isn’t your fault; as long as we do our best within our abilities, that’s enough. After all, not everyone can be a SUPER-MAN who can do whatever they want well, right?"
"Anning..." Why is his wife so adorable and understanding? Thank goodness he realized it early on and didn’t push her to Situ Xuan’s side, but firmly claimed her himself!
"Judging by your performance, it seems like my setup for tonight isn’t bad at all, huh!" Jian Anning suddenly smiled, looked up at him with her eyes sparkling, "Is there any reward?"
This woman actually started learning to act shameless like him. Let’s say, usually, he’s like that too, transitioning instantly from full of warmth to an amusing and cheeky level.
"I don’t think it’s good enough yet!" Yu Zexiao intentionally furrowed his brow, "Think about it, after a romantic candlelight dinner, shouldn’t it be followed by some dancing, a movie, and finally—a romantic night? But now you..."
His disdainful gaze traveled from her face down to her lower belly, feigning disgust as he spread his hands: "Can’t do anything."
"What do you know, this is called hanging up an exemption card. Saves you from going to battle non-stop three hundred and sixty-five days a year without worrying about grinding your iron stick down to an embroidery needle!"
Isn’t this just a head-on match? Did he really think she wouldn’t respond?
To be honest, usually, he’s the one teasing, and Jian Anning rarely talks back. Especially with talk , every time she’d be so red-faced and flustered, making him like it so much.
Occasionally seeing her in such a "tit-for-tat" manner, Yu Zexiao found it quite refreshing too.
"Me going to battle non-stop three hundred and sixty-five days a year? Haven’t you thought about it, my sword has been at rest for twenty-eight years!" just thinking about his former cleanliness compulsions made Yu Zexiao feel a bit incredulous—if it weren’t for that night when Mo Siyu and Leng Yunlin drugged him, he wouldn’t have ended up with her.
However, those two bastards hit the mark by accident. If it weren’t for their initial shenanigans, maybe there wouldn’t have been this relationship between him and Jian Anning.
"You not going to battle before wasn’t my fault!" Jian Anning immediately retorted. Actually—a small part of the reason was indeed her fault. If it weren’t for her cornering him in Las Vegas, making Yu Zexiao develop a profound shadow towards women, he wouldn’t have ended up with no woman for three years after returning home, instinctively rejecting women who approached.
