Chapter 453 - 459: The Empress Dowager’s Visit (5)
"Don’t worry. While our family does have some wealth, we are definitely not the kind that only cares about social status and not our children’s feelings. My husband just hopes that Zexiao’s girlfriend comes from a decent family, obedient and well-behaved, not the kind who likes to cause trouble or behave inappropriately. If you’re with Zexiao, you can rest assured, we won’t hinder you two."
As the conversation became more outrageous, Jian Anning immediately responded, "Auntie Shen, I think you’ve misunderstood. Zexiao and I, we’re really not in the kind of relationship you’re talking about. I’m merely his assistant, that’s all."
"Really?" Shen Lanxiao was a bit surprised. "Do you mean you don’t like him, and he doesn’t feel that kind of romantic affection for you either?"
Jian Anning nodded, "Yes, that’s right."
Yu Zexiao indeed had wanted to have an intimate relationship with her, but between them, there was neither liking nor love.
Shen Lanxiao nodded slowly, then after a pause, asked her another question, "So Miss Jian, as my son’s assistant who has been following him around, do you know if Zexiao has a girlfriend?"
Jian Anning shook her head, "I’m not aware of that."
