Even though they hadn't seen each other for just over a week, it felt like an eternity to him. He was so focused on her that he didn't immediately react to Xia Yao's sudden flirtatious remarks.
But it's not too late now. Since he has decided to win her back, he has to maintain a certain distance from other women.
This is something he recently saw—no, spied on—in a friend's posts.
'As a good man, it is necessary to keep a safe distance from all other women except one's wife.'
He was clueless before, but now that he's enlightened, he's going to act on it.
With this in mind, he deliberately took a step back.
In an instant, Xia Yao's eyes clouded over with gloominess.
But this time, she just stood there quietly, not making any unsuitable moves because she knew if she carried on, the only person who would feel awkward was herself.
So in other words, she's a smart woman who knows when to back down, and that makes her all the more dangerous.
