Upon hearing this, Luo Qingli's pupils trembled. However, she didn't speak, merely waiting quietly for Qin Lan to continue.
Seeing her emotional instability, Qin Lan didn't dare reveal everything about her and Chen Xiao. She only told Luo Qingli about the day Ling Zhenghao was killed and how she had been framed.
Only after hearing Qin Lan's words did Luo Qingli realize she had misunderstood Chen Xiao. That night, he hadn't gone to see Zhang Yaqing.
Qin Lan's face was full of apology. "Qingli, I'm so sorry. I was panicking and didn't know who to turn to—plus, I didn't want to worry you, so I didn't tell you then. I never expected it would lead to such a big misunderstanding about Chen Xiao."
That night, nothing had actually happened between her and Chen Xiao. He had just quietly stayed by her side to comfort her, so when she spoke of it, she showed no signs of anything unusual.
