The King’s Enchanting

Chapter 1682 - 1695: Relationship Crisis (9)

Yu Zexiao was taken aback, but then nodded: "Mm, I understand."

This was just the backstage of a theater, how could there be something like a band-aid? After searching around, he still found nothing and could only pull out a tissue: "Hold on with this for now, we’ll head to the hospital soon."

"No need, it’s just some minor injuries. Let’s go back and get a band-aid." Maybe it was the pain from the wounds, instead of making her numb, it made her senses extraordinarily sharp. She looked coldly at Yu Zexiao. Her heart felt painful, yet, at this moment, it was as if it had been frozen by the winter’s icy chill, blocking her from feeling the pain and causing her thoughts to become clearer.

Seeing her insist, Yu Zexiao didn’t take her to the hospital. He supported her quickly back home, and as soon as they entered, he had someone fetch a band-aid, carefully wrapping it around her finger.

That night, as they rested, Yu Zexiao held her, kissing her neck: "Anning, you..."

Before he finished, he felt Jian Anning slip away from his embrace, her voice a little low: "I’m a bit tired."

Yu Zexiao was puzzled. He held her not with any ulterior motive, but simply because he felt that recently, they had indeed neglected each other due to being busy with work, and they should talk more.

Who would have thought, Jian Anning would just push him away like that.

However, he didn’t think too much of it, gently kissing her cheek: "Mm, if you’re tired, have a good rest."

With that, he turned his head and turned off the small night light by the bed.

What he didn’t notice was that as the light went out, Jian Anning suddenly opened her eyes, looking at the cold moonlight outside, her expression a bit cold.

The next day, she told Zhao Ziyin about it. With her fiery temper, Zhao Ziyin immediately fumed: "Are you speaking the truth?"

"I don’t know either, so I need to check." Jian Anning, actually, even now, couldn’t believe that Yu Zexiao would betray her. She could also feel that Yu Zexiao still loved her even now. However—

If he really did betray her, even if it was as people said, just for a child, with his heart still with her—she couldn’t accept it!

Once betrayed, there’s no need to talk about circumstances. Even if he had directly told her, it would have been better than secretly having another "family" outside!

She absolutely refused to be a fool who swallows her grievances!

"Damn, I really misjudged! Who would’ve thought Yu Zexiao, that serious-looking guy, actually dared to have an affair!" With her fiery temper, Zhao Ziyin immediately decided to help her friend vent, "What are you afraid of, you’re not lacking in anything, you’re not relying on their Yu Family for a living. If things have come to this, a family outside of a family, just break up with him!"

"I’ll go and investigate. If it’s true... I won’t tolerate any nonsense!"

Jian Anning clenched her fist, her expression somewhat stern.

"Damn, luckily you didn’t marry him! It’s only been a few years, and even spending every day together can’t safeguard you. Even if you married him before, it would be the same outcome! And, did you say his mother knows about this? Just keeping it from you? That’s too much!" Zhao Ziyin hugged her friend, "No matter what decision you make, I’ll support you—wait, how about we catch him red-handed this weekend together, there’s strength in numbers!"
