Ai jolted and stared at him in a daze.
Jun gritted his teeth, his eyes turning several shades darker. "Is that why you were avoiding me? You thought I was getting engaged to Shui?"
His tone held a mixture of disbelief and shock. Feeling wronged, Ai slightly curled her fingers into her palms. "Did President Chen's announcement have a different meaning to it that I didn't understand?"
Jun stiffened.
On face value, only one conclusion could have been drawn from the announcement, and Ai wasn't wrong with that.
Hearing his silence on the matter, Ai faintly smiled. "So, I wasn't wrong. You don't have to keep denying it. I understand how painful it was for you to stay away from her. I heard everything on New Year's evening, after all. I am happy that you could resolve your differences. So-"
Jun coldly grabbed her, pinching her jaw with his fingers. "Hm? Is there resentment I sense from your voice?"
Her gaze flickered.
