Rong Yixuan looked at her. "What do you mean by 'why'? Are you asking me why am I doing this? Or why am I still here?"
"Both."
"You know the reason why," he looked at her intensely.
Su Yanruo sighed and looked away from him. "Then stop it. I mean, why run after a thing when you can't get it."
"You are not a 'thing'," Rong Yixuan explained as he glared at her for comparing her to a thing. "Sweetheart, I like you. I'll be very honest. Maybe, I was simply taking things very lightly in the beginning. You know about my reputation and seriously, I thought having a girlfriend would be a severe headache. I didn't want to get involved into the web of 'what are you doing?', 'why didn't you call me or reply to my text', 'why are you looking at the girl', 'why are you smiling at her?', 'why did you do this or do that?'."
