The King's Enchanting

At least, now standing in front of a twenty-two-year-old girl, claimed to be "the most beautiful campus belle," she still has considerable confidence.

It’s not just that she herself is confident, even this young girl, Chen Qinruo, seeing Jian Anning at this moment, is quite envious. Time treats a woman kindly for basically three reasons: wealth, a husband who cherishes her, a successful career, and a harmonious family.

Except for the last point, which receives a few marks discount, the other three points are completely in line.

To be honest, even if Jian Anning breaks up with Yu Zexiao now, with her status, she can still live quite carefree.

Moreover—she is still a formal disciple of her admired master, John Gruber.

It was said Yu Zexiao was not present, so Chen Qinruo wasn’t disappointed. On the contrary, she started chatting with her. Soon, the agent over there called her name, and Chen Qinruo suddenly realized, smiling and saying, "Then Sister Jian, I’ll go first."

Soon, she was sitting in the car, watching Yu Zexiao and Chen Qinruo on stage together, the light and shadow swirling, the handsome man and beautiful woman unusually stylish, and the host asked several questions, making the atmosphere exceptionally lively.

This show would take quite a long time. Jian Anning thought about it, planning to do something important. She called her assistant, telling her she’d leave for a little while.

After that, she deliberately changed to an inconspicuous car and drove all the way into the city. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Reaching a large bookstore parking lot, Jian Anning got out of the car. Her target was clear; as soon as she entered the bookstore, she headed straight to the mother-infant section. The books she wanted were simple—pre-pregnancy preparation and post-pregnancy care.

Although she is still a month away from turning thirty, she seems to already feel the approaching years. Four years ago, when she agreed to Situ Xuan’s request, she didn’t think much, but now, as time arrived, she was somewhat panicking.

Especially stimulated by Mo Siyu and Zhao Ziyin beside her, Mo Siyu’s favorite thing every day is posting pictures of his wife and his wife’s big belly on social media in various angles and poses, such an ostentatious display of love that made people in their circle block him. However, Jian Anning was still a bit envious.

Having a husband and children counts as having a family. Four years ago, she could not understand Yu Zexiao’s uncertain feelings, but four years later, her insight reached the depths of the ocean.

Yu Zexiao once told her he wanted to have a child first; she is to fulfill the promise, and he wasn’t forcing her. However, having a child means having a bond, making the relationship between two people closer. At that time, she didn’t want the child to not have a normal status, but now, as she wants it, why does she suddenly feel a bit empty?

After buying the books, she carefully placed them in her bag. Before driving back, she called her assistant. The assistant told her that the show had already ended, and Yu Zexiao was still backstage removing makeup. Jian Anning nodded and immediately drove back. Just at the makeup room door, she had a bit of joy in her heart, but the door revealed a slight gap, and she saw through it that in the makeup room, there were only the two of them. Suddenly, Chen Qinruo stood up, her young body leaned closer to Yu Zexiao’s head, seemingly wanting to hug him.

And more importantly, Yu Zexiao did not oppose her closeness at all; he just sat on the sofa, letting her get closer to him!
