The King’s Enchanting

Chapter 1688 - 1701: Tail (6)

Moreover, previously, she had promised Situ Xuan that she would always be happy, but now, appearing before him in such a state made Jian Anning wish she could dig a hole and crawl in!

"Si, Situ Xuan..."

"Anning, it really is you." A spring-like smile appeared on Situ Xuan’s face, but the next moment, he hesitantly glanced at Jian Anning’s attire, a look of puzzlement on his handsome face, "What is this..."

Jian Anning was naturally embarrassed to say she was here to "catch someone in the act." It took her a long time before she lowered her head and smiled, "Me? I’m here to go shopping."

"Shopping?" He looked at her doubtfully, "Does shopping require dressing like this?"

"..." Jian Anning was rendered speechless by his question and only managed to ask after a long pause, "When did you come back?"

She knew that previously, Situ Xuan had gone to the United States to handle Situ Family’s affairs, and had been away for one or two years.

Alright, she actually knew very well that handling affairs was one aspect, but more importantly, it was to avoid suspicion.

He knew Yu Zexiao was always a bit wary of his presence.

As long as he was around, it would surely affect the relationship between the couple. Although he outwardly said he wished to teach Yu Zexiao a lesson, inwardly he was extremely worried about affecting Jian Anning.

Jian Anning was also well aware, so she had very little contact with Situ Xuan.

Even if they didn’t meet, the two could still bless each other from afar.

But she hadn’t expected that meeting face to face would lead to such an embarrassing situation!

Situ Xuan wasn’t a fool; seeing her appearance, he knew it was certainly thanks to Yu Zexiao!

These past few years, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to see her, but he couldn’t dare to see her.

Some memories are not forgotten with the passage of time and distance apart. On the contrary, they sneak up on you in every dark night, in every unguarded moment, piercing your nerves.

For Situ Xuan, Jian Anning was such an existence.

After returning from Austria, it seemed like he truly learned how to let go. With the distance between them and little contact, nearly four years had passed, and he seemed accustomed to life without her by his side.

But occasionally, when he thought of her, it still pulled at his heartstrings, still hurt deeply.

Even though they couldn’t meet, he still found ways to gather information about her—how she was doing, how her life was progressing—and most importantly—how Yu Zexiao was treating her.

He kept receiving good news, and while he was somewhat relieved, he also felt a bit jealous. Yet after the jealousy, he was happy—her doing well was far better than her being hurt and living poorly.

But now seeing her take off her wig in disguise, looking so helpless. The mere thought that anyone other than Yu Zexiao could have caused her to act this way was absurd!

And for her to resort to disguising herself to follow Yu Zexiao, did it mean—he was with another woman?

The woman he held in the palm of his hand and cherished in his heart was being so disregarded by Yu Zexiao, Situ Xuan felt his entire heart was filled with a sour, bitter pain mixed with indescribable anger!

When Yu Zexiao had snatched Jian Anning away from him before, he was so full of confidence, so satisfied with himself! But now?
