The King’s Enchanting
Chapter 157 - 157 161 Recognition 5

157: Chapter 161 Recognition (5) 157: Chapter 161 Recognition (5) Jian Anning frowned slightly, taking a step back with an indifferent expression, “Mr.

Lu, I’m sorry, you’re blocking my way.”

“MOON, can I have a word with you?” Lu Jiayuan also knew that the corridor, bustling with people, wasn’t a suitable place for reminiscing.

Besides, Yu Zexiao’s makeup room was right next to his.

He glanced back, then, without another word, stepped forward, snatched Jian Anning’s arm, and before she could cry out in surprise, dragged her into his own room!

As soon as he closed the door, Yu Zexiao seemed to hear some noise and swung his door open, looking down the empty corridor.

Shaking his head, he muttered to himself, “That woman, I don’t know where she’s slacking off again.

When she gets back, I’ll see how to deal with her!”

—————-

On this side.

In Lu Jiayuan’s room, Jian Anning quickly regained her composure.

She shook off Lu Jiayuan’s hand with a cold expression, “Mr.

Lu, I’m not your assistant, and there’s no need for me to follow your orders!

I have other things to do and no time to idle chatter with you.”

As she spoke, she immediately turned around, ready to open the door and leave.

Behind her, Lu Jiayuan’s voice was somewhat sorrowful, “MOON, are you really not willing to speak even a single word to me?

I know I was wrong about what happened back then.

You’re still angry with me, aren’t you?”

Jian Anning suddenly laughed, turned around, and her expression was somewhat sardonic, “Mr.

Lu, don’t flatter yourself too much!

Who do you think you are?

Why would I blame you?

We are neither husband and wife nor boyfriend and girlfriend.

At most, we are just alumni!

Moreover, after so many years since graduation, I feel there is absolutely no need to stay in touch.”

She wasn’t a saint.

With what Lu Jiayuan had done, she absolutely couldn’t be so magnanimous as to act as if nothing happened and continue being friends.

Of course, it wasn’t really about betrayal since their relationship had never been clearly defined.

He was free to find whoever he wanted; it was none of her business.

But from the start, she had decided that she absolutely didn’t want to have anything to do with men who were involved with Cheng Tingting!

Her words were forthright, her expression serene, and not even a hint of anger was visible.

Three years had passed, and any feelings had been ground to dust by the passing of time.

Especially for someone like her, who had endured the most severe blows and the most lethal sadness.

Heartbreak was, to her, hardly worth mentioning!

And, don’t think she didn’t know.

If Lu Jiayuan had really missed her, he would have tried all means to contact her the first day he returned to the country.

Afterwards, he had so many days on set; why didn’t he come to find her?

And now, taking advantage of the absence of others, he dared to drag her here to catch up.

She was already twenty-six, and soon, she would be twenty-seven.

She was no longer the silly, easily fooled girl from three years ago.

She knew that Lu Jiayuan didn’t dare to openly recognize her partly because he was a celebrity now and feared that entanglement with her would lead to scandals.

On the other hand, perhaps seeing her cold demeanor, he felt struck down.

Seeing Yu Zexiao, who didn’t seem to like him much, always by her side, he feared causing trouble.

In short, it was just one thing—Lu Jiayuan didn’t like her nor miss her as much as he seemed to at this moment.
