Xing Bi observed her closely and could see the hesitation and worry marring Sun Bai's face. The ever so calm and poised Sun Bai looked disturbed today.
Xing Bi inwardly sighed but kept a straight face in front of her. "I cannot give you an answer until you tell me the whole truth. How can you expect me to make any decision?"
Sun Bai stiffened.
"You only said that you regretted pulling Ai's drafts into your personal device and decided not to use it against her, but why did you do all this is still the question. Until I get a clear answer, I won't be able to make any promises."
Sun Bai lowered her gaze. "I see…"
She said after a pause, "I understand."
Xing Bi asked, "...Is it so difficult to answer?"
"Unfortunately, yes. But I don't blame you. It's already enough for me that you didn't reveal anything until now. Thank you."
Sun Bai gave a slight bow and left.
