Jian Ning looked at Qiao Yu, opened her mouth but couldn’t speak, remaining silent for a long time before finally speaking.
She awkwardly said “oh”, uncomfortably pulling her hand back, feeling somewhat apologetic, but still hardened her heart and lightly coughed: “Qiao Yu, whether it’s the main or secondary personality, I think you should be clear about one thing – our feelings were just an act.”
The atmosphere instantly froze. Jian Ning waited for a while without seeing his reaction, her expression becoming complex: “We’re both adults.”
Her intention was to remind Qiao Yu not to act impulsively, not to truly believe he loved her just because of the secondary personality’s influence. This was fortunate because she didn’t like him and was relatively rational. Otherwise, when their career was facing near-total disaster and Qiao Yu had some responsibility in it, hearing such words might have immediately prompted him to seize the opportunity to marry her.
After all, although Qiao Yu was unstable and would send people to mental hospitals at the drop of a hat, compared to his abilities and powerful background, these were nothing.
Jian Ning didn’t think she was particularly kind or moral, she just didn’t like it that way.
She might be somewhat selfish in this aspect, unwilling to do things beyond her own bottom line, no matter how high the benefits. Moreover, facing this sudden career disaster, she was not completely helpless.
Jian Ning still hoped Qiao Yu could be more rational. After all, apart from her reasons, Qiao Yu had once been married to the original owner, and facts proved they were not suitable.
Qiao Yu lowered his eyelids, though he had somewhat expected Jian Ning’s rejection, he couldn’t help feeling sad.
In her eyes, everything before was just an act, her feelings for him were just psychological hypnosis, not to be taken seriously.
But he…
Qiao Yu closed his eyes, swallowing the explanation that was about to spill from his mouth.
He knew better than anyone that at this moment, no matter what he said or did, in Ning Ning’s eyes, it would be seen as influenced by the secondary personality. So rationally, he should take on the decisive manner from the business world and pick up his posture, not letting himself appear too humble.
