His heart skipped a beat, and he felt a chill run down his spine, as it tingled with numbness.

He Zheng couldn't help but glance at Pei Liyan.

He Zheng was speechless and anxious.

He had no choice but to turn to Qiao Rui and stop He Lan. "He Lan, shut up. We're here for an engagement party, don't cause trouble for our friends and make everyone uncomfortable."
