It was because...
Jiang Yixia blushed, feeling a little embarrassed at the thought.
She couldn't fathom why she had agreed to do... *those things* with Lu Fan in the kitchen back then.
So, to prevent history from repeating itself, Jiang Yixia was determined to keep Lu Fan from getting close to her.
She couldn't let him use his scumbag tactics on her, or her heart might soften and she'd give in again.
So many years had passed. Jiang Yixia absolutely would not forgive him so easily just because of a few sweet nothings!
'I absolutely cannot give in for nothing!'
This was the warning Jiang Yixia gave herself.
But just as she was slicing tomatoes, her mind wandered, and the tip of the knife accidentally nicked her index finger.
"Ah!"
Jiang Yixia jerked her hand back, watching as a bit of blood welled up on her finger.
Hearing the sound from the living room, Lu Fan immediately called out, "Yixia, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. None of your business," Jiang Yixia stressed.
