"I want to sit wherever I please. Since I am a guest invited by you, I should have the freedom to choose my seat. And I quite like this new spot next to me; what can you do about it? Besides, I am one of your more esteemed guests. If you treat me rudely, be careful—you might find yourself out of a job here. Whether or not you can continue working here is really up to me. Do you doubt my influence?
Others want to associate with me, all men, yet here you are, trying so hard to distance yourself. Why must you hide this from everyone? We both know we are acquainted; what’s there to be ashamed of? You’re overthinking it. We are merely friends, and it seems you’re the one complicating things. You’re quite meticulous, which explains your behavior.
Your actions now are clearly an attempt to cover something up. Haven't you heard the saying? The more you try to conceal something, the more exaggerated your efforts become. To everyone else, you appear like a clown. Your desperate attempts to clear your name only serve to prove that there is indeed a connection between us. Just look at the expressions on their faces; they’ll tell you everything.
Li Yingxue suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. She didn’t want to stay in the room any longer; if she did, she would surely become the center of attention. It would be better to leave early, especially since she hadn’t intended to stay long anyway. She hadn’t expected such a small incident to occur, and while leaving like this felt quite unsatisfactory and a bit wronged, staying would only lead to further embarrassment.
It was better to leave sooner rather than later. Even if others wanted to gossip about her, they wouldn’t dare do so in her absence because they knew Xu Shen's true nature. His parents were not ordinary people, and his reputation was significant. Everyone was aware of his temper; if he were angered, the consequences could be severe.
Thus, no one dared to discuss him lightly, including herself. If they spoke ill of her and word reached him, those people would certainly regret it. So by choosing to leave now, any rumors would likely come to an abrupt halt.
Although Li Yingxue felt quite wronged inside, she ultimately had no choice but to leave. This gathering was clearly not suitable for her; distancing herself from such a place of conflict was the only way she could find some peace."
