Chapter 366: Chapter 370: Naive Man (7)

"Mr. Situ, I really appreciate your help. If you have other things to attend to, please feel free to leave; I’ll be fine here," Anning said apologetically. She had only met him three times, but each time she ended up troubling him. He even skipped a dinner party to accompany her to find Yu Zexiao, the scoundrel. She felt terribly sorry for the inconvenience.

Situ Xuan just smiled lightly in response: "It’s no problem."

However, since the topic was brought up, it would be inappropriate for him to stay any longer. He thus smiled and said, "Then I’ll take my leave now."

"Goodbye," Anning said as she bowed in farewell, politely watching him until he reached the elevator out of courtesy. As soon as she turned her head back, the smile on her face instantly vanished, and her eyes were filled with anger when she looked at Yu Zexiao!

Before she could express her anger, Yu Zexiao rushed over, his face turning dark!

He hadn’t seen it wrong: Anning had been cold and indifferent towards him, yet she offered Situ Xuan a radiant smile!

Even after he had left, her gaze lingered on his retreating figure for a long time without turning back!

It was clear her feelings had changed; she clearly had a favorable impression of Situ Xuan, she clearly...

Yu Zexiao took a step forward to confront her, but before he could speak, Mo Siyu and Ling Yichuan each grabbed one of his arms and dragged him away forcefully!

Xingxing was on a rampage—everyone knew how toxic his mouth could be, and opening it would be disastrous. After the brief encounter earlier, although they didn’t know Situ Xuan’s real identity, his extraordinary demeanor undeniably marked him as someone not easily dealt with.

Yet Xingxing appeared to have taken a real interest in the young assistant!

These guys might have sharp tongues, but when a brother was in trouble, they were always ready to lend a hand. Without further ado, Mo Siyu and Ling Yichuan dragged Yu Zexiao out. Anning hadn’t even processed what had happened when suddenly, only she and Qin Xian were left in the room.

Qin Xian pulled out his wallet, withdrew a stack of hundred-yuan notes—indifferent to the exact amount—and placed it on the table before standing up.

Anning had a rather good impression of him. He seemed soft and gentle like jade, and although he wasn’t much of a talker, what he did say was usually quite reliable. At that moment, he approached her with a faint smile: "Miss Jian, is it? Please accompany me to the parking lot. Xingxing is waiting for you there."

"Ah? Sure," Anning replied, without the courtesy of small talk—she didn’t have the time for it. Right now, what she needed most was to get Yu Zexiao back! Everything else could be figured out later.

Qin Xian saw how swiftly her anger abated and smiled. He wanted to explain on behalf of his friend: "Miss Jian, is it tiring to follow Xingxing?"

Anning was puzzled about why he was asking her this. Qin Xian continued with a smile: "The few of us grew up with Xingxing. We’re quite familiar with his temperament and personality. To tell you the truth, his mouth really is quite foul! And that arrogant attitude of his..."

Anning still didn’t understand why Qin Xian was telling her all this. She just pursed her lips and remained silent as they both walked towards the parking lot. Qin Xian added: "He’s too beautiful; when he was younger, people always mistook him for a girl. Everyone around him indulged and coddled him, which led to his current demeanor. But he’s not a bad person, and he’s not cunning."
