This was his first ti experiencing a sense of helplessness. Desiring yet unattainable, longing day and night. If he truly couldn’t win her, then he... could only close his position and walk away before things worsened.
Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up, stretched out his slender fingers, and flipped the switch on the side.
Light spilled over, seemingly dispelling the thick darkness surrounding him. At this mont, his face was calm, as if he had made so sort of resolution, and his whole deanor beca much more detached.
"What’s the matter?"
"Mr. Situ, it’s an email from Thomas for you." She held a file envelope in her hand, sealed very well. Clearly, it contained the inquiry he previously asked Thomas to conduct about Jian Anning!
He paused, thought for a mont, and still took the file envelope, though he didn’t open it.
Since he already decided not to continue investing, paying attention to this any further wasn’t much necessary.
"I understand, you can leave now." Situ Xuan waved his hand wearily, indicating for her to go.
Ya Jiayi seed to want to say sothing more, but seeing his slightly downcast face, she just pursed her lips and nodded, then walked out: "Yes."
Situ Xuan held the data envelope in his hand. It was clearly just a few pages, rely a report, yet it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds!
If you must say how deep his feelings were for Jian Anning, it might not be that deep. But she was indeed the first woman in many years he had liked, and the one who matched his ideal partner the most. Moreover, she was also Yu Zexiao’s lover! This last point alone was enough to attract him, who harbored deep resentnt towards Yu Zexiao, to strive for her.
Jian Anning possessed a strange kind of charm. At the beginning of their interaction, he only found her kind and lovely. But the more he spent ti with her, the more he realized her natural purity, and she was also quite principled. If only he hadn’t underestimated Yu Zexiao back then and had been more ruthless, he might have won her over much earlier!
She was inherently a soft-hearted person; whoever seized the place in her heart first would receive her unwavering devotion!
The closer he saw them becoming, the more he wanted to steal her gaze away, yet he realized he was drifting farther away from her!
But precisely because of this, he admired her even more.
Unaffected by other n, devoted wholeheartedly to one person. Why wasn’t it him who t her first, why wasn’t it her who fell in love with him first?
The data envelope in his hand was unconsciously gripped tightly, becoming creased. Should he open this envelope? To see if there’s still a final chance to win her favor?
Thinking of this, he found it amusing.
He’s tangled up with all these thoughts, yet the woman he truly cares about has no idea how far his thoughts have taken him! When did he beco as indecisive as a woman, so fretful and hesitant?
Gripping tight, then releasing, finally, he frowned slightly but decided to open it and take a look.
If there’s no hope, then he wouldn’t continue to ponder over it.
After a deep breath, his fingertips moved and he opened the file envelope!
"Mr. Situ..."
Just then, Ya Jiayi was about to knock and co in.
Situ Xuan was startled and put the data envelope aside: "What’s the matter now?"
