章 850: Chapter 852: Afraid

Actually, Shangguan Wan was feeling terrible inside, like her heart was being cut with a knife.

Qin Hai's refusal was clear to her; she knew Qin Hai was using this glass of alcohol to tell her they were just friends and that a relationship beyond that limit was neither possible nor likely to happen.

And this was not the first time Qin Hai had refused her, not even the second time, but like the previous instances, the pain in Shangguan Wan's heart had not lessened at all.

Although her face wore a forced smile, if one looked closely, they would notice her lack of sparkle in her eyes, contrasting sharply with the bright, lively demeanor she previously had.

Even though Mo Zixuan and Cheng Xi couldn't see anything unusual about Shangguan Wan, it didn't mean Qin Hai couldn't.

Qin Hai was sitting next to Shangguan Wan, and his keen sight was far above ordinary, unaffected by the dim lights of the room; thus, the slightest changes in Shangguan Wan did not escape his eyes.
