His gaze was icy and detached.
Gu Zichen remained silent, wordless.
Was he tacitly agreeing?!
Qiao Xiguan looked at him.
She looked at Gu Zichen, who suddenly seemed like a completely different person.
She could hardly believe that the man before her was the same one she had imagined in her mind.
She had always thought that all this time, Gu Zichen had been tacitly consenting.
But now, she felt as if there had been a ground-shaking change.
"Come here," Gu Zichen said, looking at her.
He watched her as she seemed to unconsciously step backward.
By now, there was a step's distance between them, marked by a clear chasm.
Qiao Xiguan remained unmoved.
She watched Gu Zichen with guarded eyes.
At that moment, she realized with a start that she couldn't trust someone completely without any guard, just like how in her previous life, she had trusted Qi Lingfeng so much, only to have her family ruined and herself destroyed.
