After speaking with Aileen, Jia Xi courteously and respectfully saw her to her carriage, not daring to take any inappropriate actions or even harbor inappropriate thoughts throughout the process.
While not exactly an upright person, Jia Xi, who seemed respectable on the surface, had done many underhand things in the shadows. However, he wasn't someone controlled by basal desires. He was very aware that he was asking Aileen for help, so he dared not entertain any improper thoughts or actions.
One might wonder, was Jia Xi being too cautious?
Since he already knew that Rocky was intentionally avoiding him, why then did he linger in Thunderhawk City? Why didn't he just leave?
This thought was not wrong, but Jia Xi couldn't bring himself to do it because he had already missed the opportunity to leave.
