"And then?" Zhong Niangyao crossed her arms and smirked, "You apologize, and I must forgive you? Who set that rule?"
"Nianyao, I am sincerely apologizing to you." Li Jingming did not get angry; his tone remained gentle, "I was young and ignorant before, which is why I did those upsetting things. If you give me another chance—"
"You'd still act the same way." Zhong Niangyao cut him off directly, "Li Jingming, you don't need to put on a show here with me. I don't have the time, nor the mood for it. You know what you're thinking. What, Shen Yixue won't deal with you, so you thought you'd start with me?"
Her words stripped Li Jingming of his cover.
Li Jingming's expression grew ugly, but he still tried to maintain his smile, "Nianyao, you really misunderstand me."
