Qu Moying mentioned indifferently, “I didn’t take note of him.”
Seeing that Qu Moying didn’t wish to speak about Cousin Xiao anymore and even sounded alienated, Qu Xuexin stopped speaking about this matter. As the 2 of them chatted, they’d already walked out of the hall. They have been now behind the reception corridor. The window was open, and there appeared to be individuals inside. However earlier than the 2 of them might get shut, a determine abruptly appeared from the window.

Her barely pursed lips have been lovely, and her pores and skin was as clean as jade. Regardless that he couldn’t see her complete face, he nonetheless felt that she was handsome.
She was much more lovely than the one subsequent to her.
