Bai Zhi felt she was being a bit pretentious; this was clearly the outcome she wanted, so why was she crying?
But she was indeed sad. Although the result was what she wanted, only she knew how much her words just now had contradicted her true feelings.
Cry, cry your heart out. After this cry, everything will be over, just like the past never happened; she's still a little secretary, and he... has always been that lofty boss.
Watching her enter the neighborhood, Duan Xingzhi slowly turned around to walk back, feeling as if his whole body was hollow, empty yet extremely heavy.
When she asked if he liked her, he fell silent, hesitated—he wanted to tell her that his feelings for her were indeed different, but in the end, the answer he gave contradicted his own heart.
He thought such a response would hurt her, but unexpectedly, she smiled and said if that's the case, she's relieved.
She said he didn't like her, and she didn't like him, so everything was just right.
