"I'm sorry," Lu Mianmian murmured.
Before, even when threatened by Wen Mulian, she was still unwilling to apologize because she feared that once she did, she would be even less able to sever the entanglement with Wen Mulan.
But now, faced with such a gentle him, the words "I'm sorry" involuntarily slipped from her lips.
"I've said that you don't need to apologize, you haven't done anything wrong, it's just that I'm not good enough, I didn't make you fall for me," Wen Mulan said.
"No!" Lu Mianmian said, "It's not... it's not that you're not good enough."
As she spoke, it was as if she suddenly thought of something, fearing he would misunderstand, so she quickly added another sentence, "My rejection of you is simply because my feelings for you are not the kind that would make me want to be in love, to be together for a lifetime."
She was lying... but one lie means having to use thousands more to cover it up.
