An Excuse

Zhou Mo tried to say this line with utmost gentleness and charm, perfectly delivering her refusal to Liu Kai and making him understand that it was futile to pursue her further. Liu Kai let out a frustrated sigh, "I understand."

Zhou Mo knew she had achieved her goal. "Focus on your studies from now on. You still have a long way to go before graduation. Our field is not one that makes big money, but at least you need to get your degree, right?" She patiently advised.

"I know, education is the key," Liu Kai replied.

After a moment of silence, Liu Kai seemed to find relief as he said, "Thank you, Sister Mo. At least now I can consult Dr. Han about my father's condition with a clear conscience."
