Though the actor has already denied the rumors, the media still continued to press on, even providing sources that would support stories that the two stars were indeed dating.

Xu has finally broken her silence at an event the previous day, still insisting that she and Ma were only good friends. According to Xu, when they were photographed together, they were having a meal with a group of friends. Furthermore, the model claimed that she has never gone out on a dinner date with Ma.

"Kenneth is a good guy and we are close friends," said Xu when asked about the matter.

Despite her claims, the media continued to bombard her with questions, asking her if she saw the possibility of developing their friendship into a romantic relationship, and was also asked whether she was waiting for the actor, who is one of TVB's eligible bachelors, to make the first move.

In response to this, Xu merely stated that she is currently enjoying being friends with Ma. "It's great being friends with him," says the model in attempt to dodge the questions.

Xu was also asked if she was scared that her relationship with the actor could be damaged by over-exposure to the media, following up the question of whether she will regret it if ever it happens. However, Xu only stated that there was nothing to regret.

Furthermore, the model shared that she hasn't been seeing Ma since they were photographed together back in August. Xu, however, shared that the actor sent an SMS to her, apologizing for the turn of events since they were last seen together.
