The elegant and cool breath was uncomfortably close.
Lu Mian blinked her eyes and shifted her position uneasily, finally managing to put a little over ten centimeters between herself and Xiao Qimo.
She let out a sigh of relief in her mind.
"Director Qimo, please speak."
The other party was so serious that it must be something important. Lu Mian straightened her expression and listened attentively.
It almost had the air of a meeting between two powerful figures.
This earnest tone actually calmed Xiao Qimo down abruptly.
The mix of anger and helplessness faded a bit, and the words that rushed to his lips were reconsidered in his mind.
After pausing for a moment, he stared honestly at Lu Mian, his smile carrying the grace of a gentleman, though his voice sounded a bit heavy, "There has never been anything between Sui Yuan and me from beginning to end."
