Qi Shaoze listened to Gu Qingcheng's words, his face alternating between pale and flushed.
Seeing Qi Shaoze silent, Gu Qingcheng spoke again.
"Qi Shaoze, you have always been a good friend and brother in my heart. I would go through fire and water for you, but I cannot accept your betrayal."
After saying this, Gu Qingcheng turned and left without waiting for Qi Shaoze to respond.
It left him extremely embarrassed.
When Gu Qingcheng returned to her seat as a judge, the competition was just starting. As a popular figure of the Peach Lotus Cup, the camera focused on her the moment she sat down.
The audience's attention was on her hands, speculating that Qi Shaoze's proposal had failed since she wasn't wearing a ring and he hadn't returned to the stage.
After the competition, Gu Qingcheng gracefully accepted interviews from the media.
