The atmosphere seemed to freeze. Xue Rui's mind was a complete blank. The girl's behavior was as good as spelling out everything that had just happened.
The first screw-up was her faking the faint. Secretary Li had already seen through it and knew he was the one who put her up to it...
As for the second... 'Does it look like I'm bullying Lin Ruoxi?'
Lin Ruoxi walked over to Xue Rui and gently tugged on the corner of his sleeve. When their eyes met, she couldn't help but look down.
When they had first met, Xue Rui had often been harsh with her, and she had just assumed she must have done something to make him angry.
Back then, she would secretly think, 'It would be better if Xue Rui just stayed away from me...'
But now, she was worried she would make him angry enough to leave.
