Inside the carriage, Tang Ningshuang looked at Jiang Xiaobai, helplessness plain on her face.
This fellow had sounded so sincere earlier, yet now he was talking like this again!
What did he mean, he was worried Miss Li missed him too much?
He really had skin thicker than a city wall!
Yes, she still did not believe Li Zhiwei would actually fall for Jiang Xiaobai.
