After tucking away the invitation, he hurriedly followed Shikon Qin. As they reached the door of the clubhouse, Li Zhongnan leaned in and suggested with a sly grin, "Qin, how about we grab a meal before you go?"
"No need!"
Shikon Qin said coldly, "I never eat alone with men."
And with that, she got into a taxi and left.
"Never eat alone with men?"
Li Zhongnan mused on her words, finding the whole thing amusing yet simultaneously felt an aching bitterness.
Punishment for past offenses indeed.
Recalling the past, not just having meals, even going for a hot spring together was nothing out of the ordinary for them.
Well, feelings tend to cloud one's judgment, leading to such an outcome.
No doubt, she must despise him now.
At that thought, he reminded himself to be careful with her in the future. No more crossing the line, or else he guessed that she might completely cut him off.
Ah, such regret!
