Chapter 73: Fragrance
Zhao Wei liked Gao Qing, but between being able to survive or winning the girl, he would definitely choose the former.
Gao Qing trembled with anger, never expecting Zhao Wei to say such words. She wanted to leave with Qin Yi for the sake of the entire group. She thought she'd leave the place safely and find others to save them, but Zhao Wei had accused her of the worst things.
Gao Qing was ashamed and angry at herself, but she was much more angry towards Zhao Wei. Whether it was for saying those words in front of Qin Yi or supposedly revealing her true intentions, she didn't know.
Gao Qing started to cry, the tear-stained face of the beauty meant to make others take pity on her.
"How can you say that about me? I merely wanted to—I just wanted to go out first and find other people to save you guys… How can you say that about me?"
When Zhao Wei saw Gao Qing crying, his heart immediately felt her pain. From her words, he realized that he had mistaken her intentions, feeling even worse.
He lowered his voice, his tone meant to comfort her. "Qing'er, I was wrong. I shouldn't have accused you of those things. I'm just so afraid! You're our pillar here. If you were to leave, we'd have nothing. I was wrong, please don't cry."
Zhao Wei stepped forward, prepared to soothe Gao Qing, but she stepped away from him.
Zhao Wei didn't think much about it, figuring that Gao Qing hadn't forgiven him yet.
