An Jing immediately understood and laughed, "Official Li, although we are colleagues, there is still a distinction between men and women. If we were to be alone together in a room, even if nothing indecent occurred, such rumors would sound unpleasant... don't you agree?"
Upon hearing the words 'alone together in a room,' Li Jifan's face promptly reddened slightly, and he quickly said, "It was my oversight, I only wished to discuss official matters with you, Lord An, and forgot the difference in our genders. My apologies, my apologies."
An Jing shook her head, indicating it was alright.
Then, An Jing reminded him, "Official Li, you haven't yet mentioned, what urgent matter you have come to see me about."
It was then that Li Jifan said, "The urgent matter is none other than concerning your future prospects, Lord An. I've thought it over and over and still feel that you shouldn't just throw away your official position like this."
Thought it over and over?
