Huo Ji'an was momentarily taken aback, instinctively shrinking his neck as he turned to see Qin Lie standing there, his gaze icy.
Huo Ji'an jumped in shock, realizing that he had been overheard talking bad about someone, leaving him feeling a bit embarrassed. Straightening his back, he looked at Zhouzhou, who was crying so hard that she could barely breathe. He reassured himself; he hadn't said anything wrong. It was only natural for Zhouzhou to feel heartbroken and want nothing to do with someone who made her so upset.
"Oh, finally come out?" Ye Lingfeng chimed in sarcastically from the side.
Qin Lie shot him a glance, his brow furrowing. "Is this really how you force me to come out?"
In the past, whenever Zhouzhou cried, he would rush over to comfort her, but today, he was just standing there, which felt abnormal. He knew Ye Lingfeng was intentionally waiting for him to show up.
