The pallor in Gu Qingcheng's face eased.
So Xueqing had only said the gift was for her because she was afraid people would misunderstand Tang Shiba.
After everything Tang Shiba had done to her, why was she still looking out for her?
Tang Xueqing's words set the onlookers whispering among themselves.
