Not His Place (3)

"I'm just wondering if I did something wrong. If ever I offended you, I'm sorry," she apologized in a low voice. She didn't want him to hate her— not when she thought that they were getting along so well and she was already considering him as a friend.

Zhang Jiren finished his sandwich and eyed his wife. No. It wasn't her who did something wrong. It was him. He wasn't supposed to have feelings for her while he pretended to be her husband.

"Don't be silly. You are overthinking things again. You didn't do anything wrong," he tried to reassure her. Zhang Jiren would never tell her what's on his mind. 

If she knew what kind of thoughts or feelings he had for her, Zhang Jiren was afraid that she would find him repulsive. Li Meili didn't seem to mind being friends with him and he should be satisfied with it.
