"I'm sorry."
Duan Xingzhi's tone was light, as if resigned, yet with a hint of fatigue.
He probably didn't even know why he uttered those three words, but it seemed that apart from these words, he didn't know what else to say.
Bai Zhi's face instantly turned pale upon hearing them. She held onto the armrest of the sofa and slowly stood up, her eyes fixed on him, and only after a long while did she manage to say, "I understand."
"Xiao Bai..."
"You don't need to say anything, I understand everything." Bai Zhi's body trembled, took a step back to steady herself, using all her strength to stop the tears from falling.
She didn't want to cry, at least not in front of this man, not at this moment.
Why cry?
Crying in front of him, is it to garner his sympathy and affection?
No, she wouldn't do that.
