Chapter 767: Chapter 776 Confrontation (5)

And besides, he knew what she wanted to say in his heart...

Jian Anning glanced at him, seeing Situ Xuan’s brow slightly furrowed with a flicker of gloom in his gray-blue eyes.

Such a sight was incredibly rare, it was hard to believe that Situ Xuan, who usually appeared so authoritative and confident in everything he did, could show such emotion!

In this moment, Jian Anning was utterly certain: no matter what Lu Jiayuan said, he must— truly like her, right?

It’s just that...

"I’m sorry." She really didn’t know what she should say, but she always felt she owed him an apology.

And Situ Xuan just smiled, a smile that was slightly bitter, "What are you sorry about?"

To be honest, it was he who hadn’t planned to take her seriously from the start, pursuing her was just to take Yu Zexiao’s woman away.

It was he who had developed feelings, and although her thoughts had wavered later on, she had never agreed to be with him.

He actually had no right to expect her to be responsible for him, to apologize to him!

After a short while, the two of them staring at each other wasn’t a solution, but the one most anxious was Yu Zexiao hiding on the side!

In his hand, he still held the banana leaf. However, since he had been holding it with his right hand from the start and his arm was too tired, he had switched to his left hand.

As he hid himself, he also complained, "Damn it, isn’t it just a break-up? ’I’m with Zexiao, I hate you’ or ’I don’t like you, let’s end this’. It takes an average of three seconds for a human to say one word, neither sentence nor style take that much time! It’s not like it’s a life-or-death separation!"

Ling Yichuan was rendered speechless, "Brother, do you think a break-up is just about saying a few words? You need to set the stage, prepare the mood, you know?"

When it came to breaking up (mainly him dumping others), he was an absolute expert. For those typical women who clung to him for his wealth and power, he simply couldn’t care less, easily dismissing them with a check. And for those from matching social backgrounds, he had had contact too, albeit slightly more troublesome.

Sometimes, when dating a well-bred woman, parting ways due to incompatible feelings was one thing, but what mattered most was that both families were prestigious, and any uproar would be unsightly for both. Therefore, the choice of words had to be careful.

"It’s not a breakup! Anning never agreed from start to finish to be with Mr. Situ, okay? She’s been my woman from the beginning! It was that Mr. Situ who barged in halfway through!"

Upon hearing Ling Yichuan’s words, Yu Zexiao immediately became so angry that he started stomping his feet, his voice unintentionally rising.

Ling Yichuan was at a loss for words, as it wasn’t a matter of agreement or disagreement. Looking at Jian Anning’s condition, although her heart was deeply rooted in Yu Zexiao, she wasn’t without affection for Situ Xuan—albeit an affection that lay "above friendship, but below love". However, regardless of their relationship, she now truly felt she had wronged Situ Xuan, as if she was "playing both ends", and that was enough.

Yu Zexiao and Ling Yichuan were not far from Jian Anning and Situ Xuan to begin with, and Yu Zexiao’s loud voice was evidently heard by Jian Anning and Situ Xuan by the riverbank not far away.
