Chapter 132: A Seductive Smile, Yet Desolation Within

Li Beicheng lazily squinted his eyes, allowing Yan Shuirou to waste her energy in a half-hearted smile.

For some reason, he was sure of his own health, yet he had lost all interest in such matters.

Perhaps the things you cannot have are always the best. When he looked at Yan Shuirou's face, which bore a resemblance to Yan Xiaye's, his thoughts inevitably drifted toward her.

Thinking back, could it have been her sincere words?
