A flicker of disappointment passed through his eyes.

It seemed Ji Yao still couldn't easily accept him…

Ji Yao shook her head, and though she felt embarrassed to look at him, she wasn't very angry.

"It's okay, I know you meant well. You just care about me too much."

Lu Jincheng couldn't bear to see her feel awkward and quickly changed the subject.
