CHAPTER 981: CHAPTER 991: MISSED OPPORTUNITY (PART 3)

The fact is, she is now with Yu Zexiao, and she feels very happy. Yu Zexiao is devoted to her, though he has some small flaws in his personality, they are not unchangeable.

As for her and Situ Xuan, there was never really anything between them, and what’s missed is missed. She doesn’t feel regret, nor does she feel unhappy.

Moreover...

Nie Anni’s way of expressing things is also problematic. Who openly criticizes Yu Zexiao in front of his girlfriend, saying he’s not as good as other men? As the saying goes, promote harmony, not division. Whether she and Yu Zexiao are doing well is their business, it’s unnecessary for others to worry for her.

Relationships are like drinking water—you know yourself best whether it’s cold or warm. Maybe Nie Anni thinks Yu Zexiao is not as steady and mature as Situ Xuan, but he’s exceptionally good to her, and absolutely devoted.

Of course, she won’t say these things out loud. Because she feels that Nie Anni is just bickering with Yu Zexiao, not intentionally picking a fight.

As they speak, the elevator has reached the parking lot on the first floor. As they walk out, it seems they can sense Yu Zexiao’s low spirits; Jian Anning keeps holding onto his hand tightly.

When Nie Anni came, she was riding in his car. Nie Anni just arrived and is about to go to Yancheng soon, so she hasn’t arranged for a dedicated driver or car here in Shangcheng, just a small assistant to help with errands. Now that she’s leaving, it’s a bit awkward.

Even though Yu Zexiao talks harshly, he’s not a bad person. Knowing Nie Anni doesn’t have a car, he stands quietly to the side upon seeing this situation. Jian Anning says, "Miss Nie, where are you heading? We’ll give you a ride."

Nie Anni glanced at Yu Zexiao, "That’s not necessary, you’d be going out of your way."

Anyway, this is the busiest street, it shouldn’t be hard to catch a cab. So, Jian Anning nods, "Miss Nie, Zexiao will fly back to Yancheng tomorrow night. Once we’re back in Yancheng, let’s get in touch."

Nie Anni naturally doesn’t object, she nods.

Today Yin Maohui also mentioned, Nie Anni won’t be staying at the Yu Family, but will find a big house nearby to live in. Yu Zexiao’s new album has already been coordinated with the TV show’s production team to host a "Creation of the Heavenly King" segment, where every week the crew will come for interviews and to track the progress.

Initially, the company proposed to film at Yu Zexiao’s home, but he strongly opposed it. Yu Zexiao’s biggest trait is his obsession with cleanliness, how could he let people film in his house? So the filming location was decided to be in the villa where Nie Anni will be staying.

The decision pleased both parties.

As they are about to leave, Nie Anni prepares to hail a cab on the street, and behind her, Yu Zexiao remains sullen.

Jian Anning knows that when Yu Zexiao is compared to Situ Xuan, it unsettles him a little bit.

Especially when it’s Nie Anni, whom he’s always looked down upon, pulling out comparisons with Situ Xuan, it makes him feel even worse.

She immediately turns to say, "Zexiao, it doesn’t matter whether William contacts me or not, there’s nothing between us. And no matter the past or now, I only like you."

He certainly knows her feelings, but he also knows he’s not considerate enough, not gentle enough, and not mature enough. He is trying, but... it seems there’s still a huge gap compared to Situ Xuan’s maturity, steadiness, and thoughtfulness.
