Quan Sicheng looked at her with an unfathomable gaze before pulling up the corner of his lips, "The moment your call went out, I came."
Thinking of the words she had said over the phone, Shi Yiqing's face changed.
Before she could come up with an explanation, she heard Quan Sicheng ask indifferently, "Being with me, was it because the Shi Family forced you?"
Without a second thought, Shi Yiqing shook her head, denying the accusation.
"Brother Sicheng, aren't you clear about my feelings for you? In your heart, am I such a person?"
Quan Sicheng, with a hint of alienation in his gaze, said, "What you are in my heart, I can't quite say, but I do know one thing."
He continued, his tone laced with self-mockery, "I heard you say with your own lips that you were with me because you were forced."
"No, it's not like that," Shi Yiqing hurried to explain, "I... What I said was just a stopgap measure..."
Upon hearing this, Quan Sicheng's expression hardly softened.
