Throughout the day, Su Mengxin didn't try to persuade Li Yifei anymore, nor did she offer him any advice. Li Yifei's love life was in such chaos that it even gave Su Mengxin a headache. By not giving him any suggestions, she was keeping herself out of the situation for the time being because she didn't want Li Yifei to think she had meddled and damaged his relationships with other women if they no longer ended up together.
Su Mengxin merely fulfilled her responsibilities as a secretary: she poured water for Li Yifei, talked to him about work, or made small talk to help him relax and prevent his mood from becoming too cluttered.
During lunch, Xu Yingying didn't come to the canteen. When Li Yifei called her, Xu Yingying just said she had eaten something in her office and didn't want to come down. Although her tone didn't betray any anger, it did convey a sense of distancing to Li Yifei.
