Chapter 420: Chapter 426: Mature, Naive (6)

Even Situ Xuan himself hadn’t noticed that the tone of his voice softened involuntarily when he spoke in front of her.

Whether it was to spite Yu Zexiao or for her own sake, he felt he should win her over!

The elevator doors opened, and Situ Xuan stepped out first while Jian Anning was still in the elevator, almost unable to turn around.

Realizing she hadn’t followed, Situ Xuan paused, turned back to look at her, and smiled, "I’ve been rejected and I’m not even this dejected. Why do you seem so downhearted?"

Jian Anning looked up at him, his face still wearing a gentle smile. There was no trace of anger or embarrassment from being rejected. Everything about him seemed mature, magnanimous, considerate.

If she had met him in the past, even if she didn’t love him, she might still have chosen such a man to spend her life with. Thoughtfulness and tolerance are indispensable parts of married life.

"Mr. Situ, all I can say is, I don’t really want to make a choice about my feelings right now," she finally spoke after a long while, struggling to find the words, "I’m here for certain reasons now, but later, I will go back to Canada."

Situ Xuan was a bit taken aback, "You mean, you and Yu Zexiao... Sorry, I thought that you rejected me because you liked him, that you were his die-hard fan, which is why you came all the way here and wouldn’t leave his side."

"Yu Zexiao and I are simply impossible," Jian Anning shook her head resolutely, even though Yu Zexiao’s attitude towards her had slowly changed over time, and she was even forced to accept Yu Zexiao’s "harassment," she had never thought that she would end up in a romantic relationship with him, let alone get married.

Hearing her say this, the slight frown on Situ Xuan’s face eased a little.

"If you’re not with him, then do I, have a chance?" he stepped forward, his gaze intense.

Although he wasn’t as direct as Yu Zexiao in pouncing on her, this kind of penetrating, intense gaze was just as overwhelming!

After the adjustment she had just made, Jian Anning managed to recover and slowly stepped out of the elevator, "Mr. Situ... It’s difficult for me to discuss this matter right now. But, I don’t really want to think about it before I return to Canada."

"Do you mean, even though you’re Yu Zexiao’s assistant right now, there’s still no chance between you and him?"

Jian Anning nodded without hesitation, "Yes. Yu Zexiao and I are just work colleagues. It’s not possible for us to be together."

To be honest, if not for Yu Zexiao’s coercion and the unique nature of her job as a celebrity assistant, she would never have stayed by his side under threat.

Hearing her say this, Situ Xuan’s eyes softened uncontrollably.

He said gracefully, "I will wait for the day you say you’re ready."

This is the difference between a mature man and a childish one. Believe it or not, if Yu Zexiao confessed to her and she rejected him, Yu Zexiao would either turn and walk away or be so angry he’d want to poke her nose and curse her out!

Interacting with a mature, steady man is much more relaxing. Jian Anning’s tense nerves finally relaxed, and her knit brows also smoothed out a bit.
