Gong Xiaoqiao felt an inexplicable anger surge within her, "Gu Hangshen doesn't care about me! Why do you care!"
"Fine! Consider it me being nosy!" Shen Letian knew she had been in a bad mood these days and didn't argue with her.
"I'm going to head back first," Gong Xiaoqiao gave Hirano Ryōna a look that meant goodbye.
"Until we meet again."
He admired her and had made an effort to win her over, but he was never one to go to any lengths to have his way.
Like a flower, appreciation and fondness didn't necessarily mean he had to pluck it and bring it home; if uprooted from the sustenance of life, only a meaningless carcass would remain.
"Little fox, leaving so early? Not waiting for your brother?"
Gong Xiaoqiao looked past Shen Letian, staring straight at the two familiar figures in the hall.
If it had been the old Gu Hangshen, even with social obligations, he wouldn't have given her any reason to misunderstand or to indulge in wild thoughts.
