Zhao Zhiyi stood up and considerately poured a cup of water for Jin Mo, asking softly, "How come you left the Capital without saying a word? I thought you were still there. I only found out you had left when I got there, and you didn't even let me know in advance so I could've picked you up from the airport."
"I came back this time due to some personal matters, and I might return soon, so I decided not to tell my friends just yet." Jin Mo smiled faintly, her response careful and revealing nothing.
"Jin Mo, are you avoiding me? I've sent you so many things. It's not that I necessarily want an answer from you, but I just wanted you to know that I like you and hope you could try to accept me. If this has troubled you, I can step back."
Zhao Zhiyi's words made Jin Mo frown, she did not like discussing such matters at this kind of gathering, which was meant for casual conversation, and not suitable for discussing suitors.
