9S still doesn't see how any of that is his fault! He still doesn't see how Rita could even interpret that as a love confession! At no point did he mention the word 'love' in anything he said!
(Though, really, would he even say it, if he did actually love her? The words never made it out his mouth to 2B.)
But he doesn't really want to be going around in circles about what they talked about at the ball; the fewer reminders of the time at the Prince's manor, the better.
"Riiight," he says doubtfully, his attempt at humouring her. "What about the other reasons?"
