To Yu Xia, whether or not Xie Qingci would immediately call to explain didn't really matter — the rumor was false anyway.
The previous sentence is false.
If Xie Qingci doesn't dare call today, he'll be in big trouble.
Just as she thought this, the next second, Xie Qingci called.
His breathing was quick, and after answering, he exhaled heavily and began explaining first:
"The gossip is false. I don't know that person; we just happened to end up going the same way for a few minutes."
Since she was still in the car, Yu Xia couldn't say anything too private, so she said: "I know."
Xie Qingci was silent for two seconds, then asked her: "Are you upset?"
"Not at all."
"But you sound so indifferent," he lowered his voice, sounding quite aggrieved, "Maybe I shouldn't have gone the same way as that person?"
"..." What nonsense is he talking? She thought that after making up, he's gotten even better at playing the victim.
She really did have a bit of a soft spot for this.
