When Qu Xing Xu heard Wu Xuanyi confess her love to him, his face didn't change. Instead, it got darker and even colder.
He silently stared at Wu Xuanyi as if her position as a human was degraded into a worm, crawling and struggling on the ground.
His silence, however, was taken by Wu Xuanyi in another form. For her, his silence was his consent, and the dark look in his eyes indicated that he was enticed by her charm.
Usually, men wouldn't be able to ignore a woman's charm no matter how much they loved someone else for as long as the woman before them was beautiful, graceful, and innocent. And at this moment, Wu Xuanyi was showing all these traits combined together.
Not only that, she was using a necklace that was given to her by her mother, which she received from a monk. Wu Xuanyi's mother told her that the necklace's charm was highly potent and useful to attract a man's attention.
