Huo Sicheng possessed a pair of narrow, slender eyes, reminiscent of deep, dark springs within a cave, their depths as impenetrable as pitch-black pools.
When confronted with Gu Qingcheng's inquiry, his thin lips tensed and words eluded him.
The grip of Huo Sicheng's hand around hers tightened, signaling his discontent to Gu Qingcheng.
"What's the matter?" she inquired again, feeling compelled to dig deeper into the issue at hand.
Without uttering a word, Huo Sicheng maintained his silence.
Observing his unresponsiveness, Gu Qingcheng chose not to press further, recognizing the futility of her inquiries.
After all, attempting to extract information from him when he chose to remain silent proved to be an exercise in futility.
She resorted to opening a webpage to catch up on current events. Among the top trending topics, aside from the Peach Blossom Cup incident, an extraordinary subject emerged: "Qi Shaoze's Proposal to Gu Qingcheng."
