Chapter 370: Chapter 374 Responsibility (4)

He had spent a significant amount of time with Jian Anning, but this was the first time he had used the word "cute" to describe her!

"If you promise never to flirt with that Mr. Si again, I’ll agree to it," he said softly, leaning in to kiss her temple.

"I’ve only met him three times, how could I possibly be flirting with him!" Jian Anning glared at him and was about to continue her tirade when Yu Zexiao’s lips gently pressed against hers, and his other hand reached out, gripping hers tightly—fingers intertwined.

The long, piano-playing fingers were slightly dry, with rough patterns in the palm, sending tiny currents that suddenly made her pulse race!

It seemed like as they were talking, the floor had accidentally tilted. Her initial intention was to scold Yu Zexiao for being irresponsible, but somehow, why did the conversation end up focusing on her again?

She tried to pull her hand back from his palm, but he held on firmly, not letting her go.

His gaze upon her, his eyes slightly hazy from drinking, shone with a different kind of allure under the light.

In this moment, Jian Anning finally confirmed that Yu Zexiao was truly serious about her, not joking, even if his way of expressing it was problematic, but indeed, he was valuing her!

What does it feel like to be confessed to by a man who you think dislikes you?

A mix of emotions? Utter surprise? Or wild joy?

In any case, there was one thing Jian Anning knew for sure: even though she knew Yu Zexiao might truly like her, she did not feel delighted at all, but rather, it felt like a heavy burden!

She simply didn’t like Yu Zexiao, not just because their personalities, backgrounds, and ways of thinking were completely different, but also because she never imagined the two of them together.

Even the thought of continual quarreling after barely exchanging a few words, how could they possibly get along in the future?

Yu Zexiao’s interest in her was merely the pure predation of a man towards a woman; he had never considered the exchange of feelings, but only acted for his own comfort.

However, she had many expectations for her future partner.

Not to say that the man had to be extraordinarily handsome and considerate, but at the very least, shouldn’t he possess some semblance of responsibility and manliness? Yu Zexiao... he clearly was just an overgrown kindergartener who hadn’t matured!

This kind of man—or rather, this big boy—who acts on a whim and only creates trouble, who would like someone like that?

Thinking this, she silently withdrew her hand and her voice became faint.

"We are almost at the set, you’d better think about how to make amends for what just happened," she said.

Yu Zexiao was about to speak when the car suddenly stopped right in front of the studio. Director Li and the rest of the crew had been waiting to the point of near insanity. Seeing Jian Anning and Yu Zexiao get out of the car, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I’m very sorry..." Yu Zexiao, with his tall stature, immediately tightened his lips into an apologetic expression upon stepping out of the car. Although he was capricious, he was not a fool; after acting impulsively, he immediately realized his mistake.—In fact, even without Jian Anning’s persuasion, he would have apologized to everyone on the crew.

The tension in the brows of the other crew members eased quite a bit.
