Chapter 1539. Marrying Not For Love (1)
Qi Lei’s words were no doubt like a large rock that had been dropped into the peaceful lake, instantly startling it into many great waves.
Dongfang Liuyun’s hand that laid by her side suddenly clenched tightly as she looked at him. Moments after that, she lowered her gaze as she said calmly, “Did you hear what I said earlier?”
