Yan Jinyao looked at Lin Zichan, suddenly finding herself at a loss for words, blocked by his remarks.
"I've let down Miss Yan's kindness," Lin Zichan said apologetically, then wasted no time and coldly turned around to leave.
Though he didn't say anything too harsh, that moment made it clear his rejection was absolute!
Lin Zichan took a few steps.
He saw An Ning in the distance.
An Ning also noticed Lin Zichan's gaze, feeling inexplicably awkward.
Almost as if she had been spying on him.
But An Ning was worldly-wise, so she played it cool, pretending to be unfazed since she was already caught.
Lin Zichan went to her side and gave a courteous bow, "Madam."
"Luck with the beauties, huh?" An Ning tossed out casually.
Lin Zichan pressed his lips together, slowly responding, "The feeling is mutual."
An Ning frowned.
It somehow felt like Lin Zichan was being sarcastic.
"I have some matters to attend to; I'll take my leave, Madam," Lin Zichan said respectfully.
