Julia has no idea that her words would make it easier for Adam to get Xu Lin.
Xu Lin was already attracted to Adam, but being the shy and innocent girl she is, Adam knew he needed to take it a little slow with her to not scare her.
Xu Lin is not like Ruth or Candice, who are very forward with what they want.
Adam thought he would have to make Xu Lin slowly get used to his physical approach, but because of the little doubt that Julia put inside her head.
Xu Lin started acting distant, which allowed Adam to force her into confessing how she really feels about him, and this allowed him to seal the deal without beating around the bush.
Adam looks down at Xu Lin with a smile as she looks into his eyes. He can clearly see the love and desire Xu Lin has for him. Now that he has someone who will likely be very loyal to him, he can make her do things that would require some assistance.
