Rui Changhuai thought that he now somewhat understood why Zhao Dingli treated Li Xiaoyun so differently.
Of course, this might just be one tiny trait among many that made Li Xiaoyun who she was.
There were probably plenty of other attractive qualities he didn't know about.
Rui Changhuai noted this down as well, deciding he'd report it to Zhao Dingli later.
He nodded and said, "That was me being petty."
Li Xiaoyun misunderstood what Rui Changhuai meant, thinking he felt she was being too aloof and hard to approach.
And she really didn't want him to think of her that way.
Li Xiaoyun waved her hands in a hurry. "No no no, Mr. Rui, please don't say that."
"I know you mean well, and I know what you suggested actually makes perfect sense. It's just that I'm the kind of person who… can be a bit stubborn about my principles sometimes. It's not that I don't understand your good intentions. I'm really grateful you're willing to say all this to me," Li Xiaoyun said quickly.
