Capítulo 1237: Chapter 1248: Press Conference (Part 5)
“Mr. Situ…”
Her voice was very soft when she entered, but it seed Situ Xuan still heard her. Just at that mont, the news on the TV switched to another story, and he raised his hand to turn off the TV with the remote.
The instant the TV went dark, the room suddenly beca drenched in pitch black. Yet he did not turn the lights on, allowing the darkness to completely enshroud him.
A life of manipulation, he had been accustod to such a life since his teens. His father was a good father and cared for him, but unfortunately, being extrely busy with work, he seldom saw him throughout the year. His mother had long given up hope on such a marriage life, and from a young age, he knew his mother had a lover outside.
He didn’t like his sharp-tempered and irritable mother, though he knew his mother wasn’t entirely devoid of feelings for his father. It was because his father, beneath his gentle and considerate exterior, never gave his heart to his mother, which led to their current situation.
Yet, in the eyes of outsiders, his father had always been the model husband and father—gentle to others, caring for his wife, and quite good to him, never failing externally.
For a business marriage, his father’s behavior was already considered exemplary, except for failing to give her his true heart.
He never thought he would later encounter a woman he truly loved. If he couldn’t find such a woman, he would certainly find soone gentle, poised, kind, and graceful.
The reason he chose Cheng Tingting was that he heard the daughter of the Cheng Family was silent, academically excellent, and well-mannered. OK, that’s enough; before finding the woman he loved, such an image was enough to be his wife.
But now he found such a woman, one who completely fit the image in his heart, yet she never belonged to him!
He wasn’t resigned; no matter how he manipulated, he only ended up with money and status, but the human heart—how was he supposed to sche for that?
He didn’t turn on the light, and Ya Jiayi dared not either, just standing at the door, gazing longingly at the starlight falling into the dimly lit house outside, surrounding him. Around him was like being wrapped in a ball of fire, that tiny spark teetering in the dark void, seemingly about to extinguish.
Situ Xuan was indeed trying hard to bid farewell to his “feelings.” If, no matter how he sched, he couldn’t separate them but instead prompted them to grow closer—he had bet too much, wagered too deeply, now unable to discern whether he continued to sche against her out of revenge against the Yu Family and Yu Zexiao, or—had calculated himself into it as well.
He wanted her, wanted her so badly he was going mad! Yet every ti, his proud scheming could only be ssed up by Yu Zexiao’s clumsy, chaotic techniques, leaving him no chance to counter. He also warned himself never to push too hard, get too close; Jian Anning wasn’t the type to flock to you just because you had money… Yet following the plan step by step, it seed he could only stand on the side, watching her and Yu Zexiao go farther and farther away……
Has it co to the point where he should really tell Jian Anning “Give up”?
But if not to say give up, what options did he have! He had no chance of winning at all!
