Chapter 772 - 781: Schemes (2)
Thinking of this, he calmed down, slightly lowering his head, his long eyelashes hiding too many emotions in his eyes.
By the time he lifted his head again, his expression seemed to have erased all the negative emotions; outwardly, he only showed deep, remorseless affection and a hurt and saddened demeanor that still never gave up.
Even his usually elegant voice held a hint of tremble, paired with his imposing demeanor, he looked utterly forlorn and deeply affectionate!
It was as if to say, "Look, even a man as serious and dignified as him can be hurt, can ache, when it comes to the woman he loves."
And compared to those men who were already given to being sorrowful and sentimental, he was all the more shocking!
His eyelashes trembled lightly, his voice was very faint, "...... I know."
Then he glanced at Jian Anning again, his face lingering with deep affection and a profound reluctance: "But even so, I still feel for you......"
There was no need to say anything more, no need for further explanations. Just those few words, and Jian Anning saw his despondent expression, and even though she did not love him, she still felt as if she had done something excessively cruel!
This is the difference between men and women.
If a woman says to a man with a girlfriend, "Sorry, I still love you," there would surely be those who gnash their teeth and curse "shameless home-wrecker"!
But when a man says to a woman with a boyfriend, "I know you have a boyfriend, but I still like you," there would be women who silently think in their hearts, "What a deeply affectionate man!"
At least, right now, that was precisely the effect of Situ Xuan’s words!
