บท 135: This Can't Be...

Li Xueyue pressed her lips together. All along, did Wen Jinkai only take interest in her because she slightly resembled Li Minghua? She was told that their similarity wasn't even that prominent, but was he that crazy enough to see past it?

Li Xueyue rattled her brain for answers. She reread the entry that momentarily shocked her before her heart sunk further.

"This can't be…" she murmured, gulping.
