"I never thought of making you leave, but I respect your choice."
Bai Zhi gave a formal slight smile, then stood up as well and looked him in the eye, "And if I chose to leave with him, wouldn't you think there's something going on between us?"
"Does it matter to you what others think?"
Bai Zhi considered, "It does matter. Words can be frightening. I'm timid and afraid of causing trouble."
Duan Xingzhi nodded and then returned to his office.
His back-and-forth left Bai Zhi a bit stunned. She slowly sat back down, pondering over his intentions but couldn't figure out what he meant after thinking for a long time.
Bai Zhi didn't choose to leave with Duan Xingzhou, which made Duan Xingzhi quite happy.
He gave her the choice just to see what she really thought. Of course, even if she chose to leave with Duan Xingzhou, he wouldn't let her go.
Words can be frightening!
No matter the reason, it's always good that she's cautious.
