The King’s Enchanting
Chapter 140 - 140 144 Jealousy 4

140: Chapter 144 Jealousy (4) 140: Chapter 144 Jealousy (4) “Hello—” At last, he let go of her hand, and Jian Anning quickly loosened her wrist, turning back to glare at Yu Zexiao.

Under the dim light inside the car, she could clearly see several purplish bruises on her fair wrist where his grip had been too strong.

They looked like grim centipedes, utterly terrifying!

This man was simply too ruthless!

It was none of his business whom she liked or didn’t like!

Besides, wasn’t that Pei Anna someone he had bothered himself with?

He couldn’t vent his anger elsewhere, so he bullied her—what kind of man is he?

With an angry glare at him, her gaze happened to meet Yu Zexiao’s.

He immediately became displeased, “What’s the matter with you?”

“What’s the matter with me?” Jian Anning decided she couldn’t keep being pinned down like this!

She came from a free world where human rights mattered!

If Yu Zexiao kept this up, she would rather sell everything she owned, even if it meant her own life, than to continue working by his side!

Unexpectedly, Yu Zexiao’s dissatisfied gaze immediately sharpened upon her, as piercing as a sword.

After a moment, he suddenly spoke.

His voice was somewhat hoarse, as if something was caught in his throat, it was deep and low, “I don’t like Lu Jiayuan.”

This was a declarative sentence.

Jian Anning couldn’t care less.

To be honest, if Yu Zexiao and Lu Jiayuan were on good terms, that’d be a headache for her!

In her opinion, the past was the past.

She never declared her feelings to Lu Jiayuan, nor were they boyfriend and girlfriend.

He was free to choose whoever he wanted as his girlfriend, or even to marry Cheng Tingting.

She had no right to question it.

So, when she thought about her pain, confusion, and even resentment back then, she found it comical now.

They weren’t boyfriend and girlfriend, not husband and wife; they simply had some feelings for each other.

How could she have considered Lu Jiayuan her possession, feeling betrayed and in anguish when he chose Cheng Tingting?

Really, it was laughable.

However, even though she had come to terms with the past, she had no intention of being saintly enough to become friends with Lu Jiayuan again.

Some things, although no longer a concern to her, still disgusted her when she thought about them.

Yu Zexiao observed Jian Anning and noticed her expression was very calm, seemingly unsurprised.

But this calmness struck him as slightly odd.

Though willful and proud, he was quite perceptive.

What man would fixate on a woman he sees for the first time?

Jian Anning was neither from the entertainment industry nor famous, nor was she the kind of stunning beauty that captivated hearts at first sight.

The only reason he would keep looking at her must have been their acquaintance in the past, right?

He slightly furrowed his brows, his expression hinting at an inquisitive nature, “Do you know Lu Jiayuan?”

Jian Anning was taken aback.

She had never expected the usually willful and unmanageable Yu Zexiao to also be so perceptive!

She averted her gaze, her brows knitting slightly, “What does that have to do with you?”

“You really know him?” Yu Zexiao suddenly became agitated and reached out, grabbing Jian Anning’s arm again!

Just then, the car encountered a red light and braked sharply.

Jian Anning, in pain and without her seatbelt fastened, was caught off guard when he pulled her, and she fell right into his embrace!
