Chương 255: Dead

"I don't know what to say," Li Chenyang finally said after the longest silence possible. "I'm torn on what to believe."

Li Xueyue's heart sank just a little bit more. She nervously glanced away whilst holding back a sigh. 

"You don't have to believe me on the spot. J-just think about it," she said and shifted her eyes towards the hallway that Duchess Wang Qixing and Li Wenmin went down in.

"We should join them before they think something happened to us," Li Xueyue said as she pointed to the hallway.

Li Xueyue didn't give him the opportunity to give her a reply. She swiveled around and approached the hallway without another glance backwards. All the while, she cursed herself for being so stupid with her approach. She should've gently told him the truth instead of dumping the information onto him all at once.
