Volume 1, Chapter 44: He Made the Engagement Banquet?

None of the guests present dared to speak; even if they had something to say, they only dared to keep it to themselves.

Only Li Shiyan stepped forward, seemingly oblivious to the frozen atmosphere in the room.

Because Lingyang had just secretly pointed to his mouth, patted his chest a few times, and repeatedly blinked at Anjing, Anjing understood that Lingyang wanted her to extract some useful information from Xianqing. While busy running around arranging and tidying up the room for Xianqing, she affectionately struck up a conversation with her.

Yunluo was naturally active, willful, and headstrong, full of mischievous ideas, and a martial arts fanatic who loved learning martial arts. She often sparred with eunuchs in the palace, but no one dared to win against her, and it was a common occurrence for her to beat them until they were covered in bruises.

"Who on earth are you, and how do you know all this?" Yamamoto Mirai asked with a chilling look on her face, demanding Xia Yang's identity once again.

The atmosphere continued to brew in this manner. After about the time it takes to burn half a stick of incense, night was already approaching. The red glow in the valley became extremely distinct, dyeing half the sky crimson.

"Release? Leaving my side—is that a release for him? If that's the case, why did he bother applying for the job in the first place?" Su Yuyang's gaze toward Ling Miao shifted; beneath the anger lay a greater sense of curiosity and bewilderment.

"Hey!" Ling Miao had no idea what Feng Ji was smiling about, but his flushed face was enough to express everything.

Su Wuyang brought up the matter of Mother Lin coming to look for her, and also mentioned that she had received calls from Lin Lan and Mother Lin not long ago—one saying the child was missing, and the other telling her to take the child and leave.

"I haven't eaten, I haven't eaten!" Lingyang hastily pulled open the back door and squeezed into the car, when unawares, a dark, bulky head thrust forward and affectionately gave Lingyang's face a thorough wash with its tongue.

After offering a couple of perfunctory remarks, Ye Tian took his leave, leading Betty, Anderson, and the others out of the hotel lobby and heading straight for the Île de la Cité, leaving those Englishmen hanging in the hotel lounge.

"Don't move, sit for a while, I'll go help her." Left Yisen pressed down on my shoulder and walked over to help Luo Shanshan.

Wang Dachamier also noticed that there were a bit too many onlookers here, which might interfere with his good deed, so he began ordering people to drive them away.

"I'm home. I'm tired. Going to sleep. Leave a message if anything comes up." Aoxue sent this text message to Xu Huinan and tossed her phone aside.

The deepest impression this cheap master of hers left on her was his fondness for burning three large charcoal braziers in the room, baking the entire place until it was cozy and warm.

At the Right Prime Minister's residence, a plate of shredded quail, along with a silver wine pot and a silver wine cup, was placed before Linghu Deshuo.

"How dare you?" Ten of Clubs instantly flew into a rage, advancing on me step by step. If Qin Lan hadn't stopped him in time, Ten of Clubs probably would have made a move on me by then.

Yan Le and the three of them remained silent after hearing this. In their hearts, they were all wondering whether their cousin Changling marrying into the Fu family would be a blessing or a curse. If things went wrong, stepping into a wealthy family would be as deep as the sea, and it might be better to marry into an ordinary family instead.

Lin wore a face covered in sweat, hardly able to hold his ground. After pondering for a long time, he finally squeezed out a reply consisting of just a few words.

Shouting as he rushed forward, Erniangmei refused to show weakness. When someone saw Erniangmei acting unreasonably, they grabbed him and tried to persuade him, saying, "You are in the wrong on this matter."

Xu Huinan glanced at Aoxue and, seeing that she didn't want to talk, asked no further. However, he was determined to deal with Yang Jinfan severely.

The Snow God carefully sensed everything in the Snake Valley, but failed to detect the presence of the Snow Queen and Xuanyuan Xueer.

Qi Yu moved his lips for a long time without speaking, simply holding her hand in his while the smile at the corner of his mouth deepened.

Because Xuanyuan Xueer's voice was filled with spoiled sweetness, sounding just like endearments exchanged between lovers.
