Chapter 764: Chapter 773 Confrontation (2)

And Jian Anning, even though she also felt that Situ Xuan’s gaze at that moment seemed both pitiful and terrifying, was determined. Since she had decided to be with Yu Zexiao, she would never regret it or back down.

However, when she saw the hurt expression on Situ Xuan’s face, she still felt somewhat guilty.

Jian Anning hadn’t spoken yet when Yu Zexiao took the initiative. He lifted the corners of his mouth, his expression slightly provocative, as he looked at him with triumph, "Good morning, Mr. Situ."

This was truly rare! In the past, when Yu Zexiao called his name, it was always directly as "Situ." He only used "Mr. Situ" when he was mocking or expressing anger!

He was indeed showing off—what could be more exhilarating than scoring a point against his romantic rival, to see him waiting all night in the parking lot, while he himself had a blissful and lively time with his wife?

He didn’t feel anything was amiss, since it was he and Jian Anning who started first. If he had realized his feelings earlier, Situ Xuan would have been out of the picture long ago.

However, he owed the man thanks.

If it weren’t for Situ Xuan meddling, which made him realize how important Jian Anning was to him—perhaps, he would still be in a squabble with her. How could he be entwined with her so tenderly?

Thinking of this, Yu Zexiao’s heart was filled with both sweetness and pride. Looking at Situ Xuan, for the first time his gaze wasn’t filled with clear anger, but was much more relaxed.

But Yu Zexiao was overthinking it.

Because Situ Xuan wasn’t looking at him at all! The person he was watching, from the beginning till the end, was only Jian Anning!

Perhaps, last night, while waiting in the car for Jian Anning to appear, he felt angry and deceived, even a bit resentful of her "fickleness".

He had been gone for only ten days. The Jian Anning who had sworn to never be with Yu Zexiao, who after finishing the film would return to Canada, who would give him a chance—how could she now be standing so intimately with Yu Zexiao?

Yes, she had only promised him a chance, and not a relationship. Technically speaking, she hadn’t "betrayed" him.

Yet, he still felt heartbroken—as if someone was tightly squeezing his heart, relentlessly kneading and grinding it. It didn’t hurt, but it gave him a feeling as though he was suffocating!

He had never felt this way before. Perhaps at the start, he never truly considered starting something serious with Jian Anning. Even when he managed to break down her barriers and obtained her promise, when he left to confront Yu Jingxi in Yancheng, he never thought about having a relationship with her in the end.

Perhaps even if Jian Anning did split from Yu Zexiao and returned to Canada, he hadn’t planned to ultimately end up with her.

—A businessman values profit. When faced with the choice between being with Jian Anning and a business marriage, as long as the lady from MOON-CHENG wasn’t too repulsive to him, he would definitely choose a marriage alliance!

But in the moment he was losing her, he suddenly felt an intense emotion!

That emotion repeatedly battered his heart chambers, almost unbearable for him to withstand!

After an initial moment of being caught off guard, Jian Anning quickly recovered.
