The King's Enchanting-Chapter 1528 - 1540: Dancing with Wolves (Part 3)

"I’m already here, just give me whatever you have." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Situ Xuan just smiled and suddenly raised his hand. Soon, a waiter came over: "Sir, what would you like to order?"

"An Irish coffee, less sugar."

He said with a smile, "The coffee here isn’t bad, the coffee beans are quite authentic. They use natural light cream and the sugar is low-calorie, so no need to worry about gaining weight. Of course, no coffee can beat the one you brew yourself."

"Situ Xuan!" Jian Anning was anxious and interrupted him.

The smile on Situ Xuan’s face slightly faded as he looked at her, his expression somewhat frozen.

Jian Anning calmed her emotions before asking, "Tell me, why did you ask me to come today? Didn’t you say you wanted me to come alone? I came alone to see you, so you ought to make things clear!"

This time, Situ Xuan wasn’t in a hurry. He looked down and gently stirred his coffee with his finger before taking a sip.

Seeing his leisurely attitude made Jian Anning really anxious. But she also knew that she was the one who needed something from him, not the other way around. Even if he wanted to posture a bit, she had to endure it.

After a long while, Jian Anning’s coffee arrived as well, but she didn’t touch it, her eyes fixed on him.

Situ Xuan elegantly took a sip of coffee and then smiled after a long pause, "Not drinking? Afraid I’d drug it?"

Without thinking, Jian Anning picked up her coffee and drank it in one go, even leaving a ring of white cream unstirred, which smeared her lips. "Can you talk now?"

Situ Xuan just smiled, pulled a handkerchief from his pocket, and wanted to help wipe off the cream from her lips. But as soon as Jian Anning saw his hand reach out, she instinctively pulled back a bit. Seeing this, Situ Xuan was in no hurry and just touched his own lip corner with the handkerchief, signaling her about the mark on hers.

Only then did Jian Anning realize, and instead of using his offered handkerchief, she pulled a tissue from the box on the table and wiped her mouth haphazardly. Then she spoke again, this time with a hint of helplessness and plea in her tone, "Situ Xuan, what exactly do you plan to do!"

Situ Xuan smiled again, leaned his long body back, and lazily said, "Do you know how much wealth your future father-in-law has?"

Jian Anning didn’t respond. He laughed and said, "The Huanyu Group, in a recent evaluation, had a market value of 22 billion, and he owns more than half of its shares. But, that’s just the official stats."

Jian Anning frowned. How much money Yu Jingxi had was none of her business. Even if most of this money would eventually be inherited by Yu Zexiao, it wasn’t hers.

To her, as long as there was enough to spend, that was enough. She didn’t covet the income of Huanyu Group; to her, her life’s purpose was perhaps to promote her father’s company, but now, it was only about being a wife and mother.

Seeing Jian Anning’s calm expression, Situ Xuan admired her even more. To be honest, what such rich people feared most was someone falling in love with their money. Jian Anning wasn’t poor, of course, but compared to them, the gap was enormous. When he got the chip and saw the numbers on it, even he was shocked!

The Huanyu Group, after these years of development, had become a giant!
