Chapter 424: Chapter 430 Provocation (4)

Seeing her face colored with anger, yet with a healthy complexion—evidently, had Situ Xuan soothed her into happiness?

The thought of this stoked the smoldering flames in his chest, which he couldn’t suppress no matter what. He had not offered a single rebuttal to the arrogance of the security guards just now, all because he didn’t want her to witness how he’d sneakily followed her and been embarrassingly caught. Yet, there she was, acting all lovey-dovey with that Mr. Situ!

Was she upset because he had interrupted their time together?

With this thought, the flames of anger in Yu Zexiao’s eyes burned even fiercer!

"Alright, let’s talk about this when we get back," Jian Anning said as she pulled down his sunglasses and mask and saw that he finally looked at her, his expression somewhat calm, which eased her heart quite a bit.

She reached out and took his arm, "Let’s go, it’s not the right place for this."

Yu Zexiao didn’t budge.

Jian Anning grew angry, "What on Earth do you want, Yu... Ah!"

With a short scream, she was suddenly pulled into Yu Zexiao’s arms by the hand he had extended, tumbling into his embrace.

"What happened?" Outside, Mo Siyu heard a noise and immediately jumped over, only to see the two of them closely held in each other’s arms upon reaching the doorway, with Jian Anning even sitting on his lap!

As long as the two of them were willing to speak, there wouldn’t be a problem. Just as he thought this, Situ Xuan walked over, and Mo Siyu immediately intercepted him, "This gentleman, perhaps you shouldn’t disturb the young couple! Didn’t you see them snuggling up together?"

Situ Xuan’s gray-blue pupils didn’t even glance at him, his gaze piercing past him and landing on the couple huddled together; his pupils slightly constricted, and his hand gripping the shopping bag involuntarily tightened.

Mo Siyu laughed, "Oh, is this what you bought for our little assistant? Wow, you really splurged, I thank you on behalf of Xingxing! Haha, Xingxing, she’s a bit rough around the edges, but she absolutely adores the little assistant. She truly misses her as though three autumns had passed in a single day!"

Situ Xuan stood still and straight, listening to Mo Siyu’s chuckles beside him, showing no reaction as if he hadn’t heard a word or paid any attention to him.

Seeing Situ Xuan like this, Mo Siyu still smiled, but a chill dropped in his heart.

Situ Xuan was unfazed by material things, not sorrowed by personal grievances; the more composed he appeared, the more inscrutable he became!

Yu Xingxing, what kind of man have you annoyed? If he truly decided to make a move on the little assistant, was Yu Xingxing—so naive in matters of the heart—truly a match for such a deeply calculating man?

Not to mention anything else, Yu Zexiao had been with the little assistant for several months, and not only did he usually have nothing better to do than to torment her—but he hadn’t even bought her a piece of clothing during all this time out! On the contrary, Situ Xuan had bought her a whole outfit! Whether it was nice or not was besides the point; at the very least, it signified an intent! When men chase after women, isn’t it all about skirts, cars, and cash?

If he didn’t step up his efforts, the little assistant would truly be taken by Situ Xuan!

Inside the room.

"Yu Zexiao, what are you doing?" Caught off guard by Yu Zexiao’s sudden pull, Jian Anning fell onto his legs and was instantly encircled in his arms by his long limbs.
