"Between men and women, there is never pure friendship. Yining, Xiao Lang is getting close to you with ulterior motives," Lu Zhi stated each word deliberately.
Jiang Yining was getting annoyed and retorted, "What about us, Lu Zhi? We have a business relationship, and it should remain straightforward. Why do you always think others have ill intentions when I interact with them?"
Lu Zhi's thin lips moved as if he wanted to say something but then changed his mind and said, "My relationship with you is different from your relationship with him."
How was it different?
Could it be that he liked men and had no interest in her?
Did he believe Xiao Lang had ulterior motives while he was purely professional and uninterested?
These thoughts crossed Jiang Yining's mind, leaving her feeling as if she'd been punched in the heart, adding to her unease.
