After Transmigrating into a book, I Was Played By a Black Lotus

Chapter 40 Breakup

Bai Xiying had no desire to hear anything she had to say. Hearing this disjointed sentence, her brows didn't twitch, and she coldly replied, "I accept your apology. You can leave now."

She didn't even have the desire to glance at the visitor.

Otherwise, seeing the red bite mark on Lin Xingzhu's fair and slender neck would make her unable to resist tearing at it, leaving her neck covered in scars bestowed by her.

Lin Xingzhu raised her arm to block the door Bai Xiying was trying to close, using her toes to keep it open. "My Cousin made a joke that offended you; I apologize on her behalf."

With a slight loosening of her grip, Bai Xiying looked up. "Cousin?"

Lin Xingzhu stared into her eyes. "Yes, that girl named Jiang Yeyu in my apartment is my cousin. She's here visiting and staying at my place. She likes to joke around and often says whatever comes to her mind. She doesn't know our relationship; she probably just thought it was funny when she saw you coming into my home."

Feeling the pressure against her arm lessening, Lin Xingzhu sighed with relief.

Bai Xiying's obsidian-like eyes fixed intently on Lin Xingzhu's sincere gaze. After a moment, she looked away, glancing at the red mark before releasing her grip on the door and turning to enter.

"What do we have to do with each other?"

Lin Xingzhu followed her inside. "We're in a relationship."

Bai Xiying replied, "That's a relationship we both know is fake."

Bai Xiying's expression was cold, and her shirt, which had been neatly pressed, was now somewhat disheveled.

Lin Xingzhu glanced over and said, "But it's real to others."

Bai Xiying was silent, not refuting her.

Lin Xingzhu sat on the sofa. "I don't know if you're angry, but... I'm sorry."

She didn't specify whom the apology was for, but it was for the despicable feelings she couldn't express and her own disgust.

Lin Xingzhu rubbed her fingers, which still bore the marks from earlier, and looked down, waiting for Bai Xiying's response.

"There's nothing to apologize for," Bai Xiying said insincerely. "It was just a little girl's joke; you don't need to be so nervous."

Lin Xingzhu abruptly looked up at her.

"So you're not angry?"
