And seeing Ji Yao's reaction, there was nothing that Lu Jincheng didn't understand.
A flicker of disappointment passed through his eyes.
It seemed Ji Yao still couldn't easily accept him…
But Lu Jincheng wasn't discouraged. As long as he kept trying, he was certain that one day he would be able to move her.
Noticing her discomfort, Lu Jincheng felt awkward about holding onto her foot and let go.
"Sorry, I was a bit abrupt," he said. "I just care about you too much, and didn't mean to offend you. I hope you won't mind."
Ji Yao shook her head, and though she felt embarrassed to look at him, she wasn't very angry.
"It's okay, I know you meant well. You just care about me too much."
Excessive concern can lead to chaos, and she didn't seem to have a reason to resist.
They exchanged a few polite words, and the atmosphere once again became stiff.
Lu Jincheng couldn't bear to see her feel awkward and quickly changed the subject.
