He, in the past, would never have allowed himself to stoop so low, to act like a servant. However, seeing Jian Anning debase herself to cater to Yu Zexiao, he truly felt a pang of heartache.
Jian Anning was startled to see him clearing Yu Zexiao's things. It wasn't so much a surprise to see him helping, but rather she was thinking—Yu Zexiao, with his extreme obsession with cleanliness, if he saw his personal belongings touched by someone else, who knows what kind of scene he would make!
"Stop, I'll do it myself," Jian Anning immediately stepped forward, trying to take over the plate. Lu Jiayuan couldn't bear to see her clean, fair hands touch those dirty items, and immediately shook his head, "It's no trouble, I'll do it."
