They sat over a well prepared meal, eating quietly. Liling occasionally stole glances at Liu Wei confusedly. His change of mood was extremely baffling. Twenty minutes after they started eating, Liu Wei finally spoke up for the first time.

”I'm sorry... ”

Liu Wei apologized remorsefully. He didn't know why he felt so guilty, as though he had hit her when he had only raised his voice at her.

Liling was confused as to why he was apologizing to her. He had done nothing wrong.

She kept a puzzled face as she stared unblinkingly at the man who was looking at his unfinished plate of food as though it was what he was apologizing to.

Not hearing a reply from her, Liu Wei felt that she was really upset with him, he immediately lifted his eyes to look at her, they were filled with guilt and remorse.

He searched her expression, looking for any trace of anger or sadness, but the pretty lady in front of him was busy staring at him with a confused look.

Liu Wei couldn't tell if she was angry or not. He just went on to apologize once again.

”Liling, I'm really sorry for raising my voice at you earlier on;... I was... I was... ”

Liu Wei didn't know how to continue his speech. He was really angry earlier on but he couldn't tell her because he had no right to.

He had no right to be angry, she had every right to decide if she needed his help or not. It was her choice and he had no say in it.

Even though that was the truth, Liu Wei didn't know why he got sadder. The more he agreed to the fact that she didn't do anything wrong by not telling him about her troubles, the more his heart squeezed in pain.

He adjusted on his seat and took in a deep breath before continuing his speech.

”What I'm trying to say is that... something came up at the company, and I was so mad about it that I unjustly transferred my aggression to you, I'm so sorry!”

Liu Wei quickly formulated a perfect lie which would not disrupt his apology. Even though the premises was wrong, it still arrived at a perfect conclusion and that was okay.

Liling coughed lightly as she heard him for the second time. Realizing that he was apologizing for shouting at her earlier on, she quickly shook her head and smiled at him.

”No no, I'm not annoyed at all. You shouldn't apologize for that, it's nothing at all. ”

Liling replied immediately, it was really awkward seeing her boss apologize to her. She couldn't help but reduce her gaze to the plates infront of them.

Liu Wei watched her for a while before asking anxiously;

”That means, you're not angry with me at all?”

”No! not at all! I can't be angry with my boss, never!”

”Alright!, hurry and finish your meal, it's almost cold. ”

Liu Wei replied and motioned with his eyes for her to continue eating her food.

When they finally finished eating, it was almost six in the evening. Liu Wei drove Liling back home, since they were both tired. As they arrived at the garage, Liling turned to alight from the car as Liu Wei turned off the ignition.

”Liling... ”

Liling stopped her movements. She instinctively turned to look at Liu Wei puzzled, or rather tried to look as puzzled as possible.

She knew that they had both avoided the main topic throughout the meal and even throughout the journey back home.

The last straw was to escape from the car but he had stopped her right in time.

She prayed that he was not going to bring up the issue that happened earlier that day.
