Su Zixi suddenly felt as if she had been caught red-handed, and was embarrassingly unable to cope, "Yesterday I took part in a competition, and Young Master He took a liking to our team's work, so he asked me to come over, saying he wanted to buy out our design..."
"Yes, I know," Xia Xinyu said with a gentle smile, "You don't need to explain. Actually, I can understand. Men like Jingyao, there aren't many women who can refuse. The words I said before still stand. You are totally free to continue seeing him."
Su Zixi bit her lip, feeling her cheeks begin to heat up.
"I... I actually tried, but..."
"I understand," Xia Xinyu sighed softly, "I've been prepared for a long time."
Su Zixi felt extremely guilty, filled with self-reproach.
She blamed herself and also secretly blamed He Jingyao; with such a wonderful fiancée, why did he have to come and bother her...
"Miss Xia, I... Anyway, I will try my best..." Her voice clearly lacked conviction.
