Chapter 420 - 426: Mature, Naive (6)
Even Situ Xuan himself hadn’t noticed that the tone of his voice softened involuntarily when he spoke in front of her.
Whether it was to spite Yu Zexiao or for her own sake, he felt he should win her over!
The elevator doors opened, and Situ Xuan stepped out first while Jian Anning was still in the elevator, almost unable to turn around.
Realizing she hadn’t followed, Situ Xuan paused, turned back to look at her, and smiled, "I’ve been rejected and I’m not even this dejected. Why do you seem so downhearted?"
Jian Anning looked up at him, his face still wearing a gentle smile. There was no trace of anger or embarrassment from being rejected. Everything about him seemed mature, magnanimous, considerate.
If she had met him in the past, even if she didn’t love him, she might still have chosen such a man to spend her life with. Thoughtfulness and tolerance are indispensable parts of married life.
"Mr. Situ, all I can say is, I don’t really want to make a choice about my feelings right now," she finally spoke after a long while, struggling to find the words, "I’m here for certain reasons now, but later, I will go back to Canada."
Situ Xuan was a bit taken aback, "You mean, you and Yu Zexiao... Sorry, I thought that you rejected me because you liked him, that you were his die-hard fan, which is why you came all the way here and wouldn’t leave his side."
"Yu Zexiao and I are simply impossible," Jian Anning shook her head resolutely, even though Yu Zexiao’s attitude towards her had slowly changed over time, and she was even forced to accept Yu Zexiao’s "harassment," she had never thought that she would end up in a romantic relationship with him, let alone get married.
