Chapter 482: Chapter 488: Love Me or Him (4)

Although the legendary Situ Xuan was said to have innumerable ties with the dark godfather, if it ever became too much, she could just leave North America. She was unwilling; would the other party really force her into marriage?

"Is there something troubling you?" Situ Xuan frowned. He had some influence in Canada, and if Jian Anning really faced an urgent matter here, he should be able to help.

"It’s a bit of family business," Jian Anning didn’t elaborate. "Only once I sort out these matters will I have the heart to consider my personal issues."

Objectively speaking, a mature and steady man like Situ Xuan truly was a suitable partner for a relationship or even marriage. Unfortunately, she hadn’t fallen in love with him.

"Does it have to do with—Zero?" Situ Xuan’s expression carried a smile as he purposefully inquired.

"It has nothing to do with him." Perhaps it was his persistence these past days that gave her the illusion she was actually cherished by him. Fortunately, she soon came to her senses.

"I’ll wait for you," he replied without hesitation, with a straightforward yet imposing manner that even Jian Anning couldn’t help but feel shocked and moved by his words.

A man who can take care of you without reservations, who cares for you, and tells you with a smile not to hurry when you have issues is moving even if she hasn’t fallen in love with him yet.

"I have some work and need to make a trip to Toronto for a handover."

The mention of "Toronto" sparked a flash of light in Situ Xuan’s eyes, which had been serene a moment ago!

He remembered—he had a "fiancée" in Toronto whom he had never met!

Some things she couldn’t comfortably ask, and he wasn’t going to tell either—like his marital status!

Objectively speaking, although he was determined to have Jian Anning and felt some affection for her, he had never thought of breaking things off with his unseen fiancée!

His engagement to his fiancée was a business alliance, and as long as the partnership existed, the alliance would not change. Of course, he was in no hurry to marry either. It was only an engagement; delaying the marriage for a while was perfectly normal.

Perhaps, in the midst of it all, he might choose to marry immediately. Or, because of changes in the partnership, he might call off the engagement. Or maybe—he would fall deeply in love with Jian Anning and want to marry her, naturally canceling the other engagement. Of course, he would have to like her very much, so much that he would give up the benefits of the alliance for her.

But at this time, an engagement and pursuing Jian Anning weren’t in conflict, right?

For a man from the upper class, it was absolutely normal to have several women at the same time. After all, he wasn’t truly married yet. If he ended up really, really liking Jian Anning in the future and was willing to call off his engagement for her, it wasn’t impossible.

Of course, all that was for the future.

"All right then, I happen to have matters that require me to go to Toronto as well," Situ Xuan said, standing with hands behind his back, his expression calm, revealing no hint of turmoil.

He did indeed "have matters" to attend to—after being engaged for so long, it was necessary to see what his fiancée was like, right?

However, what he didn’t expect was that this meeting would come so quickly, so swiftly that it was beyond his imagination!

Because soon, someone was knocking on the door of his studio. The person in the security footage was Ya Jiayi!
