The King's Enchanting-Chapter 1599 - 1612: Children (Part 1)

"The gift today was bought in a hurry, tomorrow we’ll go and get you a better and more expensive one. Rest assured, you saved Anning’s life, and our Yu Family is very grateful to you. Take good care of yourself, we’ll come see you again tomorrow, goodbye."

Situ Xuan almost choked! In the end, he only exchanged a few words with Jian Anning today. The rest was all Yu Zexiao chattering by his side. Yet, each word from Yu Zexiao was scolding him, but on the surface, there was no flaw to be found!

Jian Anning was not dumb either, she could hear the intentional targeting in Yu Zexiao’s words when he was talking to Situ Xuan. Her feelings towards Situ Xuan and Yu Zexiao were completely different. Towards Situ Xuan, she felt some guilt and concern. Especially since he rushed overnight and took a bullet for her during this incident. Now that she’s heard he’s safe and sound, her guilt has eased a bit.

On the other hand, her feelings for Yu Zexiao were more complicated. After half a year of being together, there were bits of familiarity and a familial feeling towards his family, along with the camaraderie as soulmates in music. However, more than anything—was the uncontrollable love for him.

Her guilt towards Situ Xuan, and her promise to him, as long as she didn’t see him recover completely, she would still worry about his health. As for the five-year promise, she would keep it, and within those five years, she absolutely would not marry Yu Zexiao. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

But this, doesn’t mean she would break up with Yu Zexiao. Seeing Yu Zexiao and Situ Xuan bicker, as long as things didn’t get out of hand, she would quietly stand aside, not intervening, regardless of how much Yu Zexiao aggravated Situ Xuan.

Just after stepping out, Yu Zexiao saw her looking a little gloomy, thinking she was unhappy about how he spoke to Situ Xuan earlier. His expression darkened slightly, pulling her aside, and spoke with a tinge of discontent: "Why are you upset? Are you still worried about his health? Or did what I say earlier make you unhappy?"

"No." Jian Anning shook her head, "Knowing he’s healthy puts me more at ease. I... since I’ve agreed to his request, in these five years, I..."

"It’s just not getting married, right? At most, we’ll just keep dating." Yu Zexiao gently embraced her. His biggest worry was Jian Anning developing feelings for Situ Xuan because of this incident—knowing full well that Jian Anning completely fell for him back when he jumped off the cliff to save her. A woman can easily develop a sense of reliance on a man who has helped her when she’s in danger. Especially considering that Jian Anning and Situ Xuan originally had an engagement and almost ended up together. Thus, Yu Zexiao was genuinely worried that Jian Anning might fall for Situ Xuan because of this.

When meeting Situ Xuan earlier, Yu Zexiao was both jealous and angry, which is why he was deliberately antagonistic. But hearing Jian Anning speak now, he felt more than half reassured.

"No." Jian Anning sounded a bit gloomy, "But, didn’t your parents and grandparents really hope you’d settle down soon? They’ve been helping me recover and kept urging me to have a child with you soon. I... feel like I’m letting them down."
