Chapter 106 An Zhiyuan knows the senior’s intention
After Xiao Jingyan carefully put on the item, he looked at her quietly.

An Zhiyuan slowly turned around and faced Xiao Jingyan, his eyes full of anticipation.

“How about it?”

She asked quietly, a hint of nervousness in her voice.

“It’s beautiful!”

The man’s eyes were full of admiration, and those two words seemed to carry endless tenderness.

When An Zhiyuan heard his praise, her cheeks instantly flushed with shyness.

She lowered her head slightly, but the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, and she was in a very good mood.

After a moment, Xiao Jingyan seemed to suddenly remember something and spoke.

“By the way, the preparations for the branch of the Western Medicine Hall have been completed.”

Hearing this, her eyes sparkled with excitement.

“That’s great. If the Western Medicine Hall branch is successfully opened, it can be gradually implemented throughout the Great Zhou Kingdom.”

Xiao Jingyan nodded slightly, a relieved smile appeared on his face, and he gently held her hand.

An Zhiyuan was slightly startled, but did not pull his hand back.

“If you hadn’t appeared, many people in the Great Zhou would have been suffering from illnesses like me, and it would have been difficult for them to recover.”

His eyes were full of affection.

An Zhiyuan raised her head slightly, her eyes met his, and her heartbeat quickened unconsciously.

“Just a little thing.”

An Zhiyuan blushed at his praise and didn’t know how to respond after he said this.

So she lowered her head and quietly felt the warmth of Xiao Jingyan’s palm.

Xiao Jingyan couldn’t help but stretch out his other hand to tuck her falling hair behind her ears.

A hint of shyness and emotion flashed in An Zhiyuan’s eyes.

The two of them just stared at each other quietly, as if time had stopped at this moment.

The air is filled with a strong sense of ambiguity.

Xiao Jingyan’s gaze became more and more fiery.

He slowly lowered his head, and An Zhiyuan’s breathing became rapid.

The distance between the two people was getting closer and closer, and they could feel each other’s breath.

Xiao Jingyan gently held her face.

An Zhiyuan closed his eyes slightly, his eyelashes trembling with nervousness.

Finally, Xiao Jingyan’s lips slowly fell and gently kissed An Zhiyuan’s lips.

At that moment, it seemed as if the world had stopped, with only the sound of each other’s heartbeats and gentle touch.

A feeling of sweetness and happiness surged in An Zhiyuan’s heart, and she responded gently to Xiao Jingyan’s kiss.

The kiss was gentle and long, full of love and attachment.

After a long time, Xiao Jingyan slowly let go of An Zhiyuan, and both of their eyes were full of affection.

An Zhiyuan’s cheeks turned red.

Xiao Jingyan held her in his arms, his voice firm and affectionate.

“Ayuan, you don’t have to be modest. If it weren’t for you, I would probably not live long. You gave me a second life, and I am willing to repay you with my whole life.”

Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Today, An Zhiyuan went to work as usual and received a call.

“Zhiyuan, do you… do you and Wei Ning have time? I’ll treat you to dinner.”

“Senior, have you returned from academic exchange abroad?”

She had been thinking about the last time An Jie took Chi Feiwan to the hospital and he called the hospital director for help, and she wanted to thank him.

“I should treat you to a meal, thank you for your help last time.”

“Okay! See you tonight!”

On the other end of the phone, the senior student held the box in his hand with a look of anticipation on his face.

An Zhiyuan hung up the phone and went to the vice president’s office to find Shen Weining.

“Senior is back. We are having dinner tonight. Do you want to go?”

“No, I have an appointment tonight!”

“With Ji Jingchuan?”

Shen Weining winked at her and said, “Right!”

An Zhiyuan sighed, “Okay!” An Zhiyuan deliberately chose a quiet restaurant because he knew that his senior didn’t like noise.

In the evening, she came to the restaurant and saw her senior already waiting at his seat.

The senior stood up to greet her, waved at her, and had a warm smile on his face.

“Zhiyuan, here.”

An Zhiyuan smiled and explained, “Senior, that… Ning’er suddenly had a client come and couldn’t get away.”

“It doesn’t matter, work is important.”

After the two sat down, they ordered some exquisite dishes.

The senior asked An Zhiyuan about his recent life and work, and An Zhiyuan answered them one by one.

“By the way, senior, you must have gained a lot from your recent exchanges abroad, right?” An Zhiyuan asked curiously.

The senior nodded slightly and began to talk about his experiences and observations abroad.

An Zhiyuan listened with great interest, with admiration gleaming in his eyes.

The senior asked casually, “Zhiyuan, how have you been lately?”

An Zhiyuan was slightly stunned, then replied: “I’m still the same, what’s wrong?”

The senior was silent for a moment, picked up the glass and took a sip of wine, as if to cheer himself up.

As the alcohol gradually took over his mind, the senior’s eyes became a little blurry.

He looked at An Zhiyuan, and the emotions in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

“Zhiyuan, I’ve always wanted to tell you something.”

“Ok?”

An Zhiyuan looked at the senior curiously, waiting for his next words.

The senior took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to speak.

“Zhiyuan, the person I have always liked is you.”

An Zhiyuan widened his eyes, his face full of surprise.

“Senior, what nonsense are you talking about? Haven’t you always liked Ning’er? At that time, you were still for her…”

The senior shook his head, his eyes full of affection.

“No, Zhiyuan, I have never liked Shen Weining. For a long time, you are the only one in my heart.”

An Zhiyuan had never expected this situation to happen, and she was in a panic.

As a result, she ate the watermelon on herself and was so scared that she peed her pants.

I didn’t expect that this high-end game would be directed at her.

“Senior, stop joking. I always treat you as my senior.”

The senior’s eyes dimmed instantly, and an indescribable pain surged in his heart.

An Zhiyuan felt a little sorry to see his dejected look.

“Zhiyuan, I know I may be a little abrupt, but my feelings are real. Why can’t you give me a chance?”

There was a hint of pleading in the senior’s voice.

An Zhiyuan looked at his senior, his heart filled with guilt.

But she knew that she couldn’t give her senior hope because her heart already belonged to Xiao Jingyan.

“Senior, I’m sorry, I already have someone I like.”

The senior lowered his head and drank silently. He knew that his confession had failed, but he did not regret it.

At least after all these years, he finally had the courage to speak his mind.

But the pain in his heart could not be dissipated for a while, and he could only drown his sorrows in alcohol.

Seeing the senior so upset, An Zhiyuan felt bad too. She wanted to comfort the senior, but she didn’t know what to say. She could only sit there quietly and accompany the senior through this sad moment.

“Is he the one you took him to see before?”

“Ok!”

Hearing this, he took another sip of wine.

After a while, the senior raised his head and forced a smile.

“Zhiyuan, it’s okay, I respect your choice. I hope you can be happy.”

An Zhiyuan looked at his senior with emotion, tears glistening in his eyes.

“Senior, you will definitely find your happiness.”

This unexpected confession made An Zhiyuan feel heavy.
