She still ended up saying it...
Ning Xia wanted to pretend she hadn't heard, but there was no way she could.
She wasn't a fool; a man wouldn't always appear before you, always circulate around you for no reason, even if he always had a grand excuse—Lele.
But if he played dumb, she played dumb too, and they got along without explicitly acknowledging it.
Since they were "friends," as long as they didn't cross that moral bottom line, it could be considered... the best outcome.
Yet, he ultimately broke that balance, still stepped over that line without hesitation, still trod on her bottom line.
She liked him, but she couldn't accept him, so she desperately tried to control herself, even going as far as to force herself to interact with new men to start a new relationship.
Why must he disturb her, why must he force her, why couldn't he just stay in the position that was best for both of them?
