Hua Ye froze, her lips trembling violently. Then, she covered her face and burst into tears.
Under everyone's bewildered gazes, she covered her face and ran off.
Shalv watched coldly, all the more contemptuous of the female's fragile tears.
His gaze fell upon the tear-stained patch of ground, and despite himself, his heart gave a lurch.
