Chapter 217: Chapter 221: Fiancée (4)

There were too many, too many confusions, and she couldn’t figure them out. The only thing she knew was that she couldn’t appear in front of Situ Xuan at the moment!

But the problem was, she was in Huaxia Country now, just a penniless and powerless assistant. Situ Xuan had followed her here, and without a shred of news, she couldn’t tell whether it was good or ill, or make any judgment at all. After closing her laptop, she furrowed her eyebrows and began to ponder what she actually wanted to do next.

By the time she realized a lot of time had passed and Yu Zexiao had not returned to his room, it was already three o’clock in the morning.

What she couldn’t have anticipated at that moment was that Situ Xuan would soon appear before her, in a way that she absolutely hadn’t expected!

---------------------------------

The observation deck at the top of the yacht.

The stairs, like a spiral staircase, white in color, led upward. Climbing to the uppermost observation deck, countless empty bottles were scattered haphazardly.

Moreover, the number of these empty bottles was steadily increasing.

Yu Zexiao sat on the edge of the observation deck like this, his sturdy body leaning against the white railing. His slender fingers picked up a bottle, gave it a gentle shake, and the distinctive aroma of gin quietly dispersed, merging into the boundless night sky and the endless sea, as if he too had become a tiny star, drifting between heaven and earth.

Leng Yunlin had asked him that morning whether he had gotten a girlfriend. Was it that serious-looking little assistant?

To that, Yu Zexiao had scoffed.

A girlfriend? Impossible. He admitted that he had indeed had an intimate relationship with the little assistant and that... even now, whenever he thought of her body, fair and smooth as jade, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of heat.

But that was merely the attraction of a woman’s body to a man. Just like Leng Yunlin, who admittedly liked Luo Qingxue, didn’t he still mess around with other women? If you asked him whether he had feelings for other women. What a joke! They were just there for fun, for venting physical needs, and he expected everlasting love?

Of course, for the sake of his own taste—he always felt that having a relationship with Jian Anning, a woman who wasn’t good-looking, didn’t have a good figure, and had a poor personality, was a blow to his aesthetic standards! So, to Leng Yunlin, he adamantly denied having had a relationship with Jian Anning. No matter how much they suspected, it was just suspicion, he would never do something that would degrade himself!

And moreover, he couldn’t help but retort, "Don’t talk about me! What about you? You’re the same. You know, emotional and physical needs are different things. Don’t you do the same, seeking women everywhere?"

Leng Yunlin only smiled. His situation was different from Yu Zexiao’s. He had simply arrived a step too late; the woman he liked most became his brother’s wife. He couldn’t bear to hurt her, nor could he bear to hurt his brother, and could only blame himself for not having stood up for her, to shelter her once upon a time.

He smiled gently, "It’s different for me. I have no chance now. But you, you still have a chance."

"Stop it, as if you don’t know, I’ve been looking for so many years and I simply can’t find that person."
