"Isn’t he your man? You said he was your confidant, so of course, I trust him."
Qi Ruisen smiled slightly: "Because he’s my man, you trust him?"
Although that wasn’t the reason, Jian Yufei still nodded in agreent.
"Yes, indeed."
A trace of gloom passed through Anan’s eyes, and the aura around him noticeably chilled a few degrees.
Qi Ruisen smiled contentedly. When Ruan Tianling took Jian Yufei and Ansel and suddenly left, causing him to be held accountable, he vowed he’d get his revenge.
The three chatted a bit more, and then Qi Ruisen stood up and said, "They’re still searching around. I’ll go and check it out. Anan will stay here. Don’t worry, he is absolutely a gentleman."
The last sentence was directed at Jian Yufei.
However, the words ’absolute gentleman’ carried a deeper aning.
Even if Ruan Tianling truly is a gentleman, he can’t keep composed in front of Jian Yufei.
Qi Ruisen thought to himself, as he left, wondering what might happen between them.
He left with a sense of anticipation for a good show.
In the room, only Jian Yufei and Anan remained—
Though they were alone, a man and a woman, Jian Yufei didn’t feel any awkwardness.
Because she wasn’t thinking about anything inappropriate.
"Anan, you should rest in bed. You’re injured and need to recuperate," Jian Yufei said to him kindly.
Anan lowered his eyes and said coldly, "Is your trust in n so easily given?!"
Jian Yufei was taken aback; she could clearly hear the displeasure in his words.
She furrowed her brows slightly, "What do you an by that?"
The implication was, did she really trust Qi Ruisen that deeply?
And now, as Anan, a man she didn’t know well, was she inviting him to sleep in her bed so easily?
Anan was angry inside, and he said coldly, "Aren’t you afraid that by being so defenseless, I might have ill intentions towards you?"
Jian Yufei laughed, "I’m asking you to rest, but I won’t be sleeping. I’ll just be sitting and reading, so don’t misunderstand."
Sacrificing her own sleep just to accommodate another man, even if that man was him, filled him with a sense of irritation.
"Do you think just because you’re not sleeping, I can’t do anything to you?" Anan’s dark gaze fixed on her, and eting his gaze, Jian Yufei felt her heart flutter slightly.
Strangely enough, she almost thought she saw Ruan Tianling’s gaze just now.
Ruan Tianling’s gaze always managed to capture all her attention and make her heart race...
Just a mont ago, she nearly mistook that gaze for Ruan Tianling’s.
She often saw shadows of Ruan Tianling in him.
But she knew he wasn’t Ruan Tianling. Ruan Tianling was still in A City, making news every day.
Perhaps he was just a person with a remarkably similar aura to Ruan Tianling.
"Anan, why are you angry? I remain defenseless because I trust you. Do you an you’re not worthy of my trust?" Jian Yufei countered.
Anan lowered his eyes again and said deeply, "Why would I be worthy of your trust? You don’t understand n well enough; you shouldn’t be so quick to trust any man."
Jian Yufei was left speechless.
She had never t soone like him, constantly reminding her she shouldn’t trust him.
Jian Yufei asked with curiosity, "Are you really not worthy of my trust then?"
"..."
"You’re Qi Ruisen’s confidant. If even you’re not trustworthy, then Qi Ruisen isn’t trustworthy either, right?"
