As Shu Xian scrubbed a dish clean, her mind was in a jumble. She didn't know what to say to Zhong Li when they met tomorrow for dinner.
She had agreed to the invitation because she felt that he might be interested in her, and she wanted to make sure that he understood that she only wanted to be friends.
However, she had a problem.
She was already in a relationship with Professor Pan An, who was also her boyfriend.
She knew that if she told Zhong Li that she was in a relationship, he would ask her who her boyfriend was, and she couldn't tell him that it was a professor.
That would be inappropriate.
Shu Xian dried the dish and put it away, then picked up another one. She couldn't believe that she was in this situation.
She had always been careful to keep her relationship with Professor Pan An a secret, but now it seemed like everything was going to fall apart.
She couldn't bear the thought of losing him.
