Yang Xiao heard the words with a hint of helplessness, not expecting Zhao Yingnan to misunderstand his relationship with Zhu Li.
Zhao Yingnan should have understood his relationship with Zhu Li, given that her job was intelligence investigation.
Those who didn't understand his relationship with Zhu Li might develop misunderstandings after knowing what he had done for her.
Those who understood his relationship with Zhu Li, after knowing what he had done for her, should only think of him as loyal and righteous.
However, out of habit, Yang Xiao had no intention to explain, since he and Zhao Yingnan were not that kind of relationship; he had no designs on her, they were just friends.
If it were Chen Yufei standing in front of him, he would definitely have explained.
His relationship with Chen Yufei, though complicated, in some ways, made her his woman, who had also given birth to a very adorable daughter for him.
