Chapitre 1187: Goodbye, Second Brother (7)

Her pupils shrank back as she looked at Lu Nanze.

He was staring at her with stubbornness in his eyes.

He said slowly and clearly, "Qiao Lian, I'm sorry."

Qiao Lian merely felt an explosion of fury inside her chest.

She glared at him with hatred in her eyes.

She was infuriated.
