"I understand," Wen Han said quietly, "Whatever the cause of this matter is, I have wronged you. I will give you an explanation and reply as soon as possible. If anything beyond our control happens later on, and I need to appear to explain things to Mr. Fu,"
"No need." Su Mu interrupted him, her voice trembling, "I don't need it."
Her urgency revealed her nervousness. Wen Han looked at her, some words simply no longer appropriate to say.
Time fell silent for a few seconds before Su Mu bit her lip:
"I'll leave first."
"I'll walk you out."
"No need." She looked at him resolutely, "You just said you understand, we aren't suitable for any further contact."
Wen Han's step halted abruptly; he looked at Su Mu, understanding her wariness.
