The overbearing words made Zong Zheng Xiaoting stand there dumbfounded.

What does it mean to understand your feelings better thanks to what you have given me? Haven't I clearly drawn the line? Didn't this guy also say that everything is a transaction? At this moment, what he said is the same as what I think, right?

Zong Zheng Xiaoting swallowed his saliva and thought carefully. The memories in his mind kept replaying, trying to find out what happened and why he had neglected to notice it.

Seeing the confused face of the person in front of him, Situ Xunxiao's anger has gradually subsided. From the beginning to the end, what he was angry about was her excessive self-confidence, which caused her to suffer physical pain, and he was also angry that he was completely forgotten. However, these factors of anger were precisely the factors that led to his initial curiosity about her identity as a little palace maid who valued money over her life, and then his liking for her intelligence and confidence, and then his fall from grace. If you can't see through it, how can you say you love her?

Although I was still unaware at that time, I was able to subconsciously follow her down the cliff for her safety, which was actually the most honest reaction. No matter how much I comforted myself, it was just because I couldn't think deeply because of her provocations. When I looked at her sleeping face, many thoughts became clear. What was it about this woman who loved money so much that made me melt?

"I've told you not to be overconfident. Don't you understand?" Situ Xunxiao raised the corners of his lips, and his cold look faded away. That smile, mixed with his own domineering aura, was even more charming.

"This is totally unrelated, right?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting rubbed his brows. Why did he feel like a lamb in a tiger's mouth, with no power to resist?

"Really?" The smile on his handsome face deepened. He held Zongzheng Xiaoting's arm without loosening his grip. Situ Xunxiao lowered his body and moved closer. "Why? Do you need me to ask you one by one about your intentions at the bottom of the cliff? Or do you need to explain to me why you repeatedly provoked and angered me?"

Being exposed for his scheming, Zong Zheng Xiaoting was somewhat angry and glared at Situ Xunxiao, "You are the one who schemed against me, but you are the one who schemed against me, aren't you?"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting struggled, and finally found a gap, ran down from the couch, and looked at Situ Xunxiao with a wary look. However, Situ Xunxiao's face was still full of a sly smile, and he sat down casually, crossed his arms and looked at her, "Zong Zheng Xiaoting, no matter what, the focus is not on this now, is it?"

"So what?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting glared back, a flash of panic in his eyes, but Situ Xunxiao caught it just right. His original smile now showed a hint of inquiry and complacency.

"No reason, but..." Situ Xunxiao stretched out his voice, stood up, stared at Zongzheng Xiaoting, and said slowly word by word: "This king never gives himself any room, including feelings!"

He didn't say love directly, but this overbearing oath made Zong Zheng Xiaoting's heart tremble. She understood her feelings. After Situ Xunxiao was honest about his feelings and knew that his so-called deal was just a cover, his first feeling was joy!

This feeling made Zong Zheng Xiaoting quickly examine his feelings and draw a conclusion. If he just simply liked him, he wouldn't have to react immediately to anger him to cover up his feelings.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting believed that she had never been a kind person. As a shrewd businessman, she was very careful in everything she did. Even though she was a powerful figure in the business world, she knew how to judge the situation and how to keep a man's favor in order to get the most benefits she wanted in the future. Even if she was in another world, she would definitely know how to calculate this account.

However, in this era where one cannot control one's own destiny, what she needs most is the affection of someone who can benefit her, but what she thought of was giving up! Giving up the resources that can be used, giving up any request for help that can reduce the risk.

She already knew the reason. Since she was destined to leave him, why should she make him sad in the end? If she wasn't in love, why would she care?

Thinking of this, Zong Zheng Xiaoting quickly adjusted his mood and blurted out in a cold tone: "You should understand why I resorted to this bad idea. To you, we can only be friends. You know very well that I have a lover. I ran away from the marriage before for him, and I escaped from your feelings for him. In the end, I paid the price for him."

At this moment, Zong Zheng Xiaoting was suddenly very glad that she had used Gongsun Zixing as an excuse. After all, facing such a domineering Situ Xunxiao, she could not think of any reason that could make him back down except that she already had someone in her heart.

But Situ Xunxiao's next words caught Zongzheng Xiaoting off guard.

"It's okay!" The two words that came out from his thin lips almost drove Zongzheng Xiaoting crazy.

What did Situ Xunxiao say! It doesn't matter? It sounded as if she had done something wrong and he was magnanimous and forgave her?

"Si Tu Xun Xiao, can you please understand the situation? Don't you understand yet? It's impossible for me to fall in love with someone else, and there's no need for you to waste your time on me!" Zong Zheng Xiao Ting knew very well that emotional matters needed to be dealt with quickly, and since she knew very well that her feelings for him were not just simple liking for him, but she was truly deeply in love with him, she naturally wouldn't want to hurt the one she loved. As for feelings, once it was someone that Zong Zheng Xiao Ting cared about, she wouldn't want to hurt them, and only hoped to protect the one she cared about. As for her and Si Tu Xun Xiao, she understood even more that such love would end in vain, so it was better to suffer a short pain than a long one!

only……

Zongzheng Xiaoting's words did not arouse Situ Xunxiao's anger. He knew that Gongsun Zixing had weight in her heart. And he, Situ Xunxiao, was not dispensable to her. He understood this even more. In this case, it proved that she might not really understand her feelings for Gongsun Zixing correctly! And even if she really had feelings, he firmly believed that he had room to fight for it! At least, people's reactions in emergencies and low periods cannot deceive others. And her real reaction in front of him when the assassin appeared and when she was hurt by her relatives was enough to prove it!

"Zong Zheng Xiaoting, you have your choice, and I have my persistence. There will be no conflict!" The decisive words came out of Situ Xunxiao's mouth, but made Zong Zheng Xiaoting like a wilted eggplant, completely speechless.
