Chapter 31: Reflection After Pain

"Can't I ask, sister?" Shao Chengling looked at her with another pitiful expression.

Wanyi Yue, ever vigilant, remained unmoved this time. "You are so capable; surely you already know everything about my affairs. My relationship with Gongcheng Ling could certainly not be hidden from you. Since you already know, why come and ask me?"

The sudden change in tone and cold attitude caught Shao Chengling off guard. He hung his head like a mistreated puppy, and it was a long while before he spoke.

Tang Bao felt a sense of relief. Both came from humble backgrounds and had known each other for three years; they shared a mutual sympathy and had taken care of one another, becoming the best of friends.

Though Old Master Qin was quite idle, he was not the type to gossip about others unless someone sought him out to talk.

It had not been that long since then, so the craftsmanship heritage must still exist. That was why, when Huo Hai recruited retainers, he specifically posted notices for artisans skilled in wooden rail carriages.

Americans are even more fond of watching a spectacle than the locals; as long as there is something to see, they will crowd around. Even if a gunfight breaks out, they have to crane their necks to take a look.

Those eavesdropping outside the military tent were driven away, so no one could hear what was being discussed inside. The conversation lasted for a full hour.

It was like a row of arranged dominoes: one piece falling would topple the next, one after another, until they had all collapsed.

"For heaven's sake... you across the way, stop smiling! Don't you know your smile is lethal to us men?!" Tuyuhun and Shi Lan lay sprawled on the bed, too exhausted to even complain.

After getting into the car, Xia Wan subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror. Seeing her swollen face, her eyes turned red, and she dug her fingernails deep into her thighs.

Accustomed to modern delicacies and having joined the military shortly after transmigrating, Li Xinyue truly had high standards for her food.

It turned out that the false guidance she had force-fed herself would completely collapse in the presence of Leng Mingxu. Because he was her weakness.

Chen Jie had just been released, so I certainly had few opportunities to interact with Yezi. But what Song Fang said was not without reason; Chen Jie was indeed not very kind to Yezi, and I could not see a shred of maternal love in her.

Just as he was about to get into the car, a plane flew overhead. Although he did not know if Xu Jinlang was on it, he sincerely wished Jian Lan could have her wish fulfilled, hoping that Xu Jinlang would discover her beauty and seize his own life firmly.

After bidding farewell to Chu Xuan, Su Nan returned home and lay down on the sofa, not even eating.

It wasn't just because she had found a boy she liked; it was also because, over there, Yi Xuanya knew that the man she loved loved her back. This feeling was truly wonderful.

Auntie Chen had witnessed Bai Pianran's actions from the kitchen and felt indignant on behalf of the mistress, but because it was a matter between the husband and wife, she felt it was not her place to intervene and did not come out.

Zhang Yuan knew his body had reached a bottleneck. To continue breaking through, relying solely on existing technology would not work. For now, he could only continue to train, hoping for a future breakthrough born from patient accumulation.

"Please speak, Father." Ye Qingcheng was ready to agree to any condition now; at worst, it was just marriage, and she had already prepared herself mentally.

Jiang Beibei slumped to the floor, her face deathly pale, her eyes fixed on the phone in her hand.

Everyone was surprised, yet felt a sense of relief—this was certainly not good news, but when you don't know the truth about certain things, your mind becomes more chaotic the more you think about them. Once you know, no matter what the reality is, you just have to face it.

"You came back yesterday?" The elderly couple of the Luo family exchanged glances, revealing a hint of displeasure, but then they shook their heads and regained their composure.

Just as Liu Yingfeng was feeling troubled, a sound came from below the cliff. Liu Yingfeng leaned over to look and saw that the Wu family had returned. The Wu family hadn't gone far after leaving; they discovered that Murong Tianxing and the others had departed, so they intended to head home.
