To be honest, Bai Cenlin didn't really believe Ouyang Lei's words, but since he had expressed himself this way, she gladly went along with it: "It's best if you think that way."
Hearing her tone was no longer as cold as before, Ouyang Lei smiled slightly and tentatively asked, "Can we still meet like friends in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Cenlin looked at him deeply, pursed her lips, and said, "Friends, definitely not; meeting, certainly unnecessary. But if you truly let go, I won't blame you anymore..."
Bai Cenlin's way of doing things has a certain grandeur akin to Duke Bai—swift and decisive, never dragging along, and even her words leave no room for doubt.
Knowing full well that these words would displease Ouyang Lei, she chose not to linger, instead saying directly, "There are many guests here today, I need to help Lu Yebai. You and Aunt take care, I won't see you out..."
"..."
He hadn't said he wanted to leave, yet she was already seeing him out!
