Chapter 409: Chapter 415: Tracking, Following (2)

"Thank you,"

Situ Xuan smiled faintly at her, the pale warmth in his grayish-blue eyes reminiscent of a restrained, fine piece of jade.

"It seems the word I hear you say most often is ’thank you,’"

His voice was deep and mellow, like the sonorous tone of a cello reverberating within the small space of the car, blending with the subtle scent of his cologne.

That remark actually made Jian Anning laugh.

She wasn’t the type of great beauty that dazzles at first glance. Yet, she was the kind that became more appealing the more one looked. Especially when she smiled, with curved eyebrows and sparkling eyes, and something resembling silkworms forming under her eyes. Her rosy lips parted slightly, revealing teeth white as jade. It dimmed the excessive solemnity on her face and added touches of playfulness. Like the sunlight on Seattle’s coast, gentle, demure, yet with a hint of passion.

"Are you American?"...

"Mm," just as the traffic light turned green, Situ Xuan drove the car while chatting with her, "I live in Seattle."

"Seattle is quite close to Canada." She smiled, "I visited there with my dad when I was young."

"Yes. I heard you’re from Vancouver?"

"Yeah." Jian Anning smiled, "I grew up in Vancouver since I was a child."

Situ Xuan didn’t doubt her, merely asking, "Did you study film and television arts? Why return to your home country to develop your career?"

Jian Anning replied, "No, actually I studied economics and management! I came back because of an incident."

"Oh, I see," Situ Xuan nodded.

However, he still half inquiring, half sincerely said, "If you studied economics and management, I actually have some jobs that would be suited for you."

"Thank you, but I don’t need them for the time being."

She declined, and he didn’t insist, adopting a relaxed and congenial attitude that made her feel comfortable. Jian Anning didn’t like it when some people were too inquisitive, with questions like "Why would you return to your home country to develop your career when you grew up in Canada?" or "Why would you want to be a celebrity assistant if you studied economics and management?" In Huaxia Country, such questions might arise from concern. But in the eyes of Europeans and Americans, it was an outright invasion of privacy.

Besides, she returned to Huaxia Country for undisclosed reasons to be by Yu Zexiao’s side!

The place Situ Xuan took her to was none other than Shangcheng Shopping Centre, where Yu Zexiao had taken her to dine last time. The car was parked in the underground parking lot, and just like before, Situ Xuan showed gentlemanly manners, not only opening the car door for her first but also entering the elevator before her and pressing the floor button. These small details might seem trivial at first glance, but they particularly conveyed his thoughtfulness, tenderness, and magnanimity.

——In any case, he was leagues better than a certain whimsical, arrogant freak!

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

As the elevator ascended, Yu Zexiao and Mo Siyu immediately rushed down. Yu Zexiao was instantly furious, his voice even trembling slightly with rage: "Look at this, just look, those two! She’s actually hugging him! He actually..."

He had endured a lot yesterday, but to think, those two were actually laughing and flirting behind his back, even hugging each other!
