The King's Enchanting-Chapter 1618 - 1631: One Night (Part 5)

Turning back, he looked at Yu Zexiao and Jian Anning, his expression extraordinarily clear: "I’m almost better. Thank you both."

—Originally, during his escape, he had thought they might just brush past each other. He had long decided to give up his life, planning to bless her and Yu Zexiao, intending for them to live a happy and joyful life. When he fell in the snow, he had already decided to sacrifice for her. It was she who used all her strength to support him on their escape, which is why Franz later caught up to them.

She didn’t owe him anything; it was he who used that last life-saving grace to coerce her for five years. Ultimately, he was selfish.

Since he had done everything he could, he couldn’t break them apart. So, clinging to her not only wouldn’t win her love but would also exhaust the last bit of their affection.

In the end, he still carved a deep mark in her heart. Even Yu Zexiao hadn’t shared life and death with her, nor taken a bullet for her. Even if... even if he were to let go now, Jian Anning would remember him for a lifetime, and Jian Anning’s child would, as they had agreed in the past, sweetly call him "godfather."

He had won, at the cost of his life, earning a place in her heart. Even if Yu Zexiao minded, he couldn’t drive him away now.

As for everything else... let it all fade away!

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "If you have matters to attend to, go to Vienna first. Don’t you still have to shoot? I estimate I can be discharged in a day or two. If you’re still in Vienna then, I’ll go find you. If you’ve returned, I’ll just fly back there."

Yu Zexiao frowned, wanting to tell him he didn’t have to come, but Situ Xuan continued with a smile: "After all, I’m also the boss of Huasi Film and Television. This MV is a co-production between our two companies, and it would look bad if I didn’t go."

Yu Zexiao’s eyes widened, silently cursing Yin Maohui countless times in his heart. Damn, if he had known, he wouldn’t have agreed to do any drama or MV with Huasi Film and Television. Isn’t this just making trouble for himself?

But, the contract was signed, and things had already happened. No matter how displeased he was, he could only nod—if Situ Xuan had been just a higher-up at Huasi Film and Television like he thought, it would’ve been okay. But he just had to be that investor at the end! In Huasi Film and Television, he was the boss, and what he said went. Who dared to refuse?

"Fine, you come." Yu Zexiao spat out those words through gritted teeth, and seeing this, Situ Xuan finally felt a sense of vindication.

Sometimes, you really can’t be happy too early. Like now? He left Yu Zexiao speechless and Jian Anning unable to refuse.

"We’ve got things to do, so we’ll be off! Bye-bye!" Yu Zexiao felt that he still didn’t like Situ Xuan, especially after seeing his smug face—he just wanted to kill him!

He couldn’t refuse Situ Xuan coming to see him for work, so he could only try to keep Jian Anning away from him as much as possible!

"Situ Xuan, take care and let us know when you’re discharged." Jian Anning also couldn’t help but turn back to say a word. Watching her, a smile finally spread across Situ Xuan’s face: "I will."

"Let’s go!" Yu Zexiao grabbed Jian Anning and directly led her out of the room.
