Miss Cousin is Always Busy (GL) Chapter 21

"Big Sister…?"

"I'm leaving, Little Wan'er."

After much deliberation, Ning Qinghuan eventually decided to come clean with Jn Zishu.

Regardless of how Jun Zishu would react, Ning Qinghuan felt that it would be much better than if she had suddenly left without saying a word.
