Chapter 267: Chapter 271: Banquet (5)

Without a word, he stepped forward and even began to clear away the cups, plates, bowls, and dishes that Yu Zexiao had used, disposing of any remaining food scraps. He, in the past, would never have allowed himself to stoop so low, to act like a servant. However, seeing Jian Anning debase herself to cater to Yu Zexiao, he truly felt a pang of heartache.

Jian Anning was startled to see him clearing Yu Zexiao’s things. It wasn’t so much a surprise to see him helping, but rather she was thinking—Yu Zexiao, with his extreme obsession with cleanliness, if he saw his personal belongings touched by someone else, who knows what kind of scene he would make!

"Stop, I’ll do it myself," Jian Anning immediately stepped forward, trying to take over the plate. Lu Jiayuan couldn’t bear to see her clean, fair hands touch those dirty items, and immediately shook his head, "It’s no trouble, I’ll do it."

"How could I let you?" Jian Anning shook her head as she also snatched the plate with the pastries. The two of them went back and forth like this, tugging at opposite sides of the plate.

Suddenly, a powerful set of footsteps approached, and in an instant, a chop from above descended, forcefully knocking the plate to the ground!

With a crisp "snap," all the eyes of the entire crew were drawn over! Jian Anning and Lu Jiayuan were stunned, not yet recovering, when a long, powerful hand grabbed Jian Anning’s wrist! She looked up to see Yu Zexiao’s gloomy eyes staring down at her.

"You’re very slow," he said with a frown, articulating every word, his face stern, seemingly expressionless, indecipherable emotions. But Jian Anning, who had followed him for so long, naturally recognized every slight change in his expression.

Right now, he was angry, very angry!

Did Jian Anning dare to get cozy with Lu Jiayuan when he wasn’t paying attention, acting lovey-dovey? If it weren’t for that plate, their hands would have been linked together!

"I didn’t..." Before she could finish tidying up, Yu Zexiao whisked her away. Jian Anning paused, then immediately said, "Zexiao, I haven’t finished cleaning up."

"Those have been dirtied; I don’t want them!" He definitely didn’t want cups, plates, bowls, and dishes that someone else, and especially Lu Jiayuan, had touched!

"......" Jian Anning was speechless. How on earth did this guy develop such a personality! So domineering and picky, his sense of entitlement exaggerated to an extreme!

Although she wasn’t particularly keen on interacting with Lu Jiayuan, was this guy’s simple and crude way of handling things really okay?

If it weren’t for the deep background of his family, even if he were handsome and talented, he would still be trampled upon, right?

In a daze, she was pulled outside the studio by Yu Zexiao. The nanny car was already waiting; Yu Zexiao shoved her into the vehicle without another word and directly instructed the driver, "Go!"

Jian Anning was jostled about, took a while to regain her composure, and then realized she did not recognize the roads—where were they going?

"Zexiao, where are we going?"

"No time!" Yu Zexiao uttered only these few words, then shut his mouth and sat to one side, his expression grim.

Jian Anning knew his mood seemed not too great and didn’t dare to say more.
