The heavy atmosphere spread in this small space. Bai Xianyu subconsciously repeated Xie Xingyun's words in her heart.
Her expression was as calm as possible. "Is this the thank-you gift you need?"
"Yeah."
"Don't you feel that it's a loss?"
"I don't."
"You know I'm gonna say no, right?"
Xie Xingyun did not look dispirited at all. He smiled and said, "I know."
Refusal… was reasonable.
But he did not want to force her.
He could not force her either.
"I just need a chance to stand at the same starting point as others." The man's voice came out clearly, sounding especially loud and clear in the front hall.
His answer was straightforward. If Bai Xianyu said anything else, it would seem a little pretentious.
In short, so what if she agreed to him now?
It was just an opportunity to pursue her. The initiative was still in her hands.
If she did not nod, he could not do anything.
"Whatever."
