Seeing that they were about to leave, Cui Nan quickly stepped forward to stop them.
"Weren't you going to stay? Why..."
"roll."
Cui Ziqi's gaze towards Cui Nan was devoid of warmth, and the words he uttered through clenched teeth were filled with murderous intent.
Cui Nan stood there stunned, she never expected that Cui Ziqi would actually have murderous intent towards her.
She was clearly the only person here who had been kind to him all these years.
