The King's Enchanting-Chapter 1429 - 1441: Sudden Upheaval (4)

Situ Xuan just smiled and didn’t speak. Yu Zexiao glanced at Jian Anning, and Jian Anning felt a bit overwhelmed: "It was just now, when I was making coffee, I ran into William. He wanted some too, so I made him a cup as well."

Nie Anni, sipping her coffee, sensed something was off. She turned to look at Jian Anning and then at Yu Zexiao. She still couldn’t understand the situation: "Is there something wrong with me?"

"It’s none of your business." Just like Situ Xuan had endured for a long time, Yu Zexiao had also put up with him for a long while! Knowing full well that he was already in a relationship with Jian Anning, had met the parents, and was about to get married, yet he still wouldn’t leave them alone. Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Jian Anning swiftly pulled Yu Zexiao away, and coincidentally, the director was coming over, so she immediately said to the director, "Zexiao has something to attend to, I’ll take him over there to discuss it."

Then she led him aside alone and began to scold him: "Zexiao, what’s wrong with you?"

"You and that Situ guy..."

"There’s really nothing between us." Jian Anning explained what had just happened, and only then did Yu Zexiao relax. He still unhappily said, "When we go back this time, we’re getting married! I don’t believe he can still do anything then!"

Jian Anning smiled, and seeing him so anxious about her, she also felt very pleased. Being cared for by your partner is always better than being completely ignored.

She intentionally furrowed her brow, looking unhappy: "But just now you were still with Miss Nie..."

"What about me and Nie Anni?" Yu Zexiao looked at her with some confusion.

"Just now, you two..." Jian Anning pouted, "You seemed very close?"

Yu Zexiao thought for a moment: "Oh, you mean just now? We just had a bit of an issue when I was working on the arrangement, so we were just discussing it." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Really?" Jian Anning turned back to ask him.

"What else would it be?" Yu Zexiao was quite surprised, having never considered associating himself with Nie Anni like that, he found Jian Anning’s inquiry quite strange.

"It’s nothing." Seeing his expression, Jian Anning knew that Yu Zexiao hadn’t taken it to heart. Though he looked tall and handsome, his emotional intelligence was as low as that of a three-year-old. If not for forcing him to confess his feelings, she would have thought he only viewed her as entertainment.

He probably didn’t even think he was being very close to Nie Anni, right?

Indeed, to him, Nie Anni was just like a colleague. Although there’s something called a "soulmate," there’s also a saying about "office romances not lasting long."

If two people are in harmony, that’s the best, but if there’s a disagreement, it can be more dramatic than anything else.

Thinking of this, she felt relieved and took advantage of no one being around to hug him, rubbing against his shoulder.

Yu Zexiao found it a bit odd: "Didn’t you say to be more careful in public..."

Despite his words, he gently opened his arms and embraced her. The two of them, without speaking, seemed to communicate more than a thousand words—silent and sweet.

After a long time, Jian Anning finally got up: "Alright, let’s get to work and focus on the shoot."

Yu Zexiao, still unsure of what she was thinking, was nonetheless happy to see her nestled against him.
