He used to be very busy. As the heir to a gigantic business, and dealing with drastic changes at home, he had a pile of schedules to follow every day, plus endless meetings. There were times when he wanted to rest, but he couldn't find the time. He didn't understand how he still found time to see her.
Their interactions were bland, so he had no defenses. Not until she barged into his world, into his heart, did he realize that he seemed to care more and more about her.
He seemed to be trying to expel her, not wanting to be influenced by her anymore. One day, she came to him again, asking him how Mu Ye had been doing abroad. He felt irritated for no apparent reason, responded coldly, and told her to call Mu Ye directly if she wanted to know about him. He asked her not to come looking for him anymore.
He thought that by doing so, his life would settle down.
