Chapter 450: Chapter 456 Visiting the Empress Dowager (2)

Despite following him every day and knowing that he has a bad temper that would be difficult for ordinary people to endure, he was still Yu Zexiao...

A superstar and a mega-celebrity who merely had to wave his hand to have countless fans follow him!

By then, if her admiration turned into love and she fell for him, wouldn’t that make her feel even more desolate and heartbroken?

She couldn’t bear to continue demeaning herself like this!

So, what should she do?

Perhaps, after this TV series wrapped up, she would have to choose to leave no matter what! Even if she didn’t return to Canada, whether she went to the United Kingdom, Australia, or anywhere else, she would never allow herself to enter a marriage completely devoid of love!

After all, there was less than a month left before this show would be completely over.

At most, she would stay by Yu Zexiao’s side for one more month!

Thinking this way, she felt much more relaxed and got up to tidy up her things.

The room was already very clean. Besides the routine chores like washing the bed sheets and sweeping the floor, she quickly got ready to go out to the nearby supermarket to pick a fresh fish to make fish soup.

Just as she was about to go out and had pulled open the door, there stood on the doorstep a well-dressed, beautiful, and elegant lady that resembled a rich housewife, her hand raised as if she was just about to knock.

Jian Anning was startled to see the woman’s exquisite attire and warm complexion. She wore a white casual coat with embroidery, with a light blue silk scarf underneath. Below, she donned a white pencil skirt with a formal touch, with light beige high heels on her feet and her hair gently coiffed up. She carried a handbag that matched the color of her clothes. The whole person not only looked intellectual and beautiful but also exuded a noble vibe while being understated.

Her face didn’t bear the lofty demeanour typically seen in nouveau riche, nor did it have the cold, sharp edge of someone who believed themselves to be of aristocratic lineage. Instead, she appeared dignified and broad-minded, seeming, perhaps, to be from a Scholar Family!

But how had this woman come to be here?

Jian Anning was somewhat puzzled, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

The woman was also a bit perplexed, seemingly not expecting to encounter a young girl here as well.

She curiously sized up Jian Anning for a few moments, her gaze carrying a slight inquisitiveness, as if having thought of something, her face lit up with a faint smile, "You must be Jian Anning, Miss Jian, am I right?"

Jian Anning was taken aback. Who was this woman, and how did she know her name, let alone that she lived here?

Could it be that she was...

Indeed, the woman smiled gently, and in her narrow elongated phoenix eyes, similar to Yu Zexiao’s, a glimmer shone through, "Hello, I’m Zexiao’s mother."

"Aunt Shen, please have a seat."

In the living room, Jian Anning brought over a cup of hot tea and presented it to her.

"Thank you," Shen Lanxiao said with a faint smile, accepting the cup of tea. She sniffed it gently, and the aroma of the tea was fragrant and sweet.

Seeing Jian Anning standing deferentially to the side, she smiled amiably, her expression very warm, "Sit down, I’m not like my husband; I didn’t come here to pick a fight. There’s no need for you to be so tense."

"Alright." Perhaps it was because of Shen Lanxiao’s friendly demeanor that Jian Anning felt relaxed. She smiled and sat down as well.
