Simon was delighted. "Miss Qiao, you mean…"
He thought she had forgiven him.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Nian stuffed her hands into her pockets and stared at him straight on. "We barely knew each other to begin with. We weren't friends, so no matter who you chose at that time, I had no objections. You don't have to take it to heart."
She was direct.
However, Simon could tell what she was implying.
Qiao Nian did not blame him for choosing to curry favor with Ji Ziyin back then, but at the same time, she did not want to be friends with him anymore.
Simon was a smart person. He understood that the girl in front of him was not the kind of person who liked to act in the circle.
He smiled bitterly. "Miss Qiao, is there no room for negotiation?"
Qiao Nian frowned and looked at him with her dark eyes. She suppressed her frustration and asked, "Is there a need?"
She and Ji Ziyin were not archenemies.
