Cheng Bingbing lifted her eyes, staring steadily at Huo Qichen, with not even a trace of joy at being saved on her face.
After a while, she managed to find her voice.
"You..." her voice hoarse, she asked, "Are you Qilin's elder brother, Huo Qichen?"
Actually, the conversation between Huo Qichen and Mrs. Huo had already made things clear, but she still wanted to confirm it once more.
"Yes!" Huo Qichen said.
Cheng Bingbing felt the last sliver of hope dissipate; her strength seemed suddenly drained, and her body almost collapsed.
Huo Qichen quickly reached out to support her.
This support, however, felt like it pushed a button on Cheng Bingbing's body, and she suddenly pushed Huo Qichen away, her emotions flaring as she shouted, "Don't touch me; get away, I don't want to see you, just go!"
Huo Qichen frowned, "Calm down first!"
"I can't calm down, and I don't want to, just go, just leave..." Cheng Bingbing, pointing towards the doorway, said angrily and painfully.
