Chapter 505: Chapter 512 Blind Date Together (4)

"How come you don’t mention that you’re holding me up from having a sweet conversation with Mr. Situ?" Yu Zexiao’s gaze was icy sharp, and his smile was like frost, easily scalding anyone it touched!

Jian Anning felt a twinge of pain in her heart, and just as she was about to retort, Situ Xuan beside her couldn’t help but smile lightly, "No need for that! I am indeed worried that being with you would delay my sweet nothings with Anning."

That one sentence stabbed like a thorn, causing Yu Zexiao to stand up abruptly!

"I’m talking to Anning, what business is it of yours!" He rose furiously; his gaze was cutting, and his voice certainly not small.

Despite the hustle and bustle in the hall with people coming and going, Yu Zexiao’s presence was naturally commanding, and his distinctive voice, especially as he stood at the entrance of the private room, quickly attracted many onlookers!

In the face of his anger, Situ Xuan simply stood with his hands behind his back, his expression serene, "If you want to be the center of attention, I don’t mind."

With that, his gaze slid to a fashionable lady opposite him, his lips curving up with a smile, "Tomorrow, you can make the headlines—you and this lady’s blind date."

He wasn’t a celebrity; he definitely wouldn’t draw a crowd!

Sure enough, reminded by him, Yu Zexiao noticed that several onlookers had turned their gaze towards them.

Although Yu Zexiao was hot-tempered, he was still very conscious about his image in public. With that, he glared fiercely at Situ Xuan once more before slamming the private room door shut.

Situ Xuan’s expression revealed a touch of triumph. His eyes slid over to Jian Anning, who was looking at the firmly shut door of the private room, her lips pursed, and after a long while, she suddenly lowered her head, her spirits dampened as she turned to leave. "William, I’m feeling a bit unwell. I’m sorry, I don’t want to stay here..."

Clever as Situ Xuan was, he understood Jian Anning’s feelings. Although he had broken through her guard, her heart at this moment still belonged to Yu Zexiao...

But no matter, he would soon make her heart and eyes see only him!

"Alright," he nodded, considerately walking alongside her, "If you feel unwell anywhere, just tell me, and I’ll take you to the hospital."

"Thank you," she said listlessly as she walked ahead to the exit. Situ Xuan went to fetch the car, while she waited to the side.

Meanwhile, just by chance, Shen Lanxiao had gone shopping at a nearby mall and left her car at the entrance of the restaurant. As she came out to pick up her car, she had Qiu Yixian wait for her nearby.

Consequently, as soon as Jian Anning stepped outside, her eyes caught sight of her!

Just as Qiu Yixian had said, Jian Anning was indeed the daughter of her good friend Ma Xinyu—Ma Yiyi— and also, her long-lost goddaughter!

The name "Jian Anning" naturally came after her mother, Jian Panying, took her away and changed her original name. Therefore, her English name "Moon" was derived from her surname— "Ma."

Back then, when Qiu Yixian and Qin Yishu’s father, Qin Xian, were arguing and breaking up, Ma Xinyu had already divorced his wife, Jian Panying, and started pursuing her. Qiu Yixian was close to marrying Ma Xinyu and becoming Ma Yiyi’s stepmother. Although she eventually chose to reconcile with Qin Yishu, she still recognized Jian Anning as her goddaughter.
