It makes people want to shatter her confidence, to stop her from being so smug.

"Even if that man can’t give you the world, or even protect you, you still persist in your love?" Nangong Xu questioned coldly.

Jian Yufei nodded, "What I want isn’t how great he is. It’s the extent of his determination to love me. He can’t give me the world, but he can give me his entire world. He can’t protect me, but he’ll always stand up for me in times of crisis. Him being able to do these things is enough for me."

"These things, I can do for Ruyue too!"

"But you can’t do the other thing that matters: as long as she’s happy, that’s enough."

Nangong Xu suddenly stood up, unable to comprehend their love even now.

Similarly, he still looked down on this kind of love.

"You and your mom are both foolish when it comes to love!" he said coldly.

Jian Yufei found it amusing.

Wasn’t it foolish when her mom chose him?

"Fine, you think we’re foolish, then we’re foolish. We’re willing to be foolish."

Nangong Xu suddenly felt a surge of anger!

Ruyue must have the same mindset.

Knowing full well the difficulties in choosing Xiao Zexin, she is still willing to continue being foolish.

He really wanted to see her regret, to have her realize how foolish she really is!

Nangong Xu looked at Jian Yufei with a blank face, but his eyes were unfocused.

Through her, he saw Nangong Ruyue again.

"Ruyue, I will make you realize that your choice is wrong! Only choosing me is the right choice!"

Jian Yufei frowned, what’s Nangong Xu planning to do?

Nangong Xu gave an unusual smile, then strode away. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Jian Yufei was a bit dazed, his smile just now was too creepy.

Could it be he’s going to do something again...

...

After Nangong Xu left, Jian Yufei stayed in the living room.

Since she had nothing to do, she kept playing the piano.

Before long, a servant came to invite her: "Miss Jiang, the boss wants you to go to the study."

"I don’t want to go," Jian Yufei continued to play.

"Miss Jiang, you must go." The servant’s attitude was very firm.

It seemed Nangong Xu also insisted she must go.

Jian Yufei stopped playing, slowly stood up, "I know."

There were only two rooms on the third floor of the castle.

One was Nangong Xu’s bedroom, and the other was his study.

The two rooms took up the entire floor, so naturally, they were large.

Jian Yufei went upstairs, heading left to Nangong Xu’s study.

The bodyguard at the door saw her coming, and opened the door for her proactively—

Jian Yufei walked into the study and was startled by the enormous space inside.

Nangong Xu’s desk was against a wall, and on the opposite wall hung a large LCD monitor.

He raised his head slightly and looked at Jian Yufei, "Come here."

Jian Yufei stopped three steps away from him, "What did you call me here for?"

Nangong Xu leaned back in his chair and smiled proudly like an emperor, "Want to see Ruan Tianling?"

Jian Yufei’s eyes moved slightly—

"I can let you see him immediately."

"What are you planning?" Jian Yufei countered.

She wasn’t naive enough to think Nangong Xu would kindly let them meet.

Nangong Xu smiled faintly, "He’s frantically searching for you, and you want to see him. Is it bad if I let you meet?"

"Come on, what’s your real intention?"

"My intention is naturally to let you meet and fulfill you both."
