Huo Sicheng disregarded Qin Chong and Chu He; his sole focus was on Gu Qingcheng.
His gaze fixated on her, he slowly moved closer.
"Are you alright?" His voice was suffused with a gentle, caring timbre.
Huo Sicheng's soft words resonated in Gu Qingcheng's ears, causing her heart to flutter and filling her with a sweet sensation.
"How could I not be?" She shook her head slightly, her eyes meeting his. "I'm strong. No one can bully me."
Huo Sicheng found himself momentarily breathless at her charming demeanor.
Despite the presence of Qin Chong and Chu He, his jealousy surged. He disliked the idea of others witnessing such an endearing side of her.
Qin Chong, upon seeing Gu Qingcheng's demure expression, was stunned.
Known for her toughness, Gu Qingcheng was unexpectedly showing a softer, more feminine side, an astonishing transformation.
