Mu Lan remained calm.
"He's the same."
After Huo Tingxiao went back to square one, Mu Lan had initially kept out of it, but now, she directly equated him with Pei Zhao. However, he couldn't really blame Mu Lan, since Pei Zhao had specifically sought her out today to speak on her most painful memories, stirring up her sadness, so it was normal for her to involve him as well.
Arguing now was pointless, since Mu Lan still stayed at Maple Forest Garden. Close to the water tower, he was bound to find his chance.
Pei Zhao, unaware of Huo Tingxiao's schemes, slightly curved his lips upward. His relentless pursuit was simply because he didn't want Huo Tingxiao and her to have any more entanglement. Now that both men were treated the same, Pei Zhao was naturally too happy to care. Mu Lan's lack of interest in him was something he was very aware of, so being rejected didn't bother him at all.
