"I will find out the truth about this, but I can promise you, nothing happened between us. You have to believe me."
Duan Xingzhi leaned in, trying to take her hand, but she evaded his touch.
"What do you want me to trust you with? Last night you got mad at me, ran out, and then recalled all the good things about Ning Lanyu, so you called her out, didn't you? I've seen men drunk, so having her by your side and you claiming nothing happened between you two, I certainly can't believe that."
Bai Zhi took a deep breath and said rationally, "Also, try to put yourself in my shoes. If this happened to me, would you believe me just based on a few words?"
Duan Xingzhi rubbed his throbbing temple, "What will it take for you to believe me?"
"You want me to believe you? Fine. Bring Ning Lanyu here and have her tell me herself that nothing happened between you two, and then I'll believe you."
