The driver had barely left the hotel premises when Xing Jue asked him to stop. Wen Sui sat cautiously in the corner of the back seat, whispering, "Aren’t we leaving?" Xing Jue signaled the driver to turn off the lights.

Tao Qian’s eyes shone as he stared at Liang Shan, his gaze filled with envy and resentment. In his mind played scenes unsuitable for children.

Amid the idle chatter of the two commentators, ten players from the two teams and two coaches returned to the stage once more.

She knew their marriage certificate bore the special seal of the Animal Management Bureau, which was why Gong Chen hadn’t simply shown it to everyone to clarify matters. Still, she cared deeply. Without a certificate, was a verbal confirmation not enough?

To be honest, they felt they had some understanding of Jiu Yu, but that was strictly limited to the fragmentary information gleaned from others.

She knew that after she left, these people would gossip endlessly about her, but she no longer wished to participate.

The auction price was one million seven hundred thousand. Su Miaomiao looked at the surrounding elite families and regretted coming here.

Princess Jinyang’s expression softened a little as she looked at Princess Gaoyang for guidance. Princess Gaoyang smiled slyly, her brows raised, and said, “Letting you off today isn’t impossible, but…” She assumed a greedy attitude, clearly expecting a favor.

Mo Li nodded. She knew it was inappropriate to visit Master Yuan in her current state, as it would be even more disrespectful.

Ma Yun spoke with double meaning. The county deputy shrank his head, understanding, and dared not speak carelessly again. He awkwardly excused himself and withdrew.

After he finished speaking, Zhang Shun seemed lost in thought. Qian Qing and Shi Da clearly didn’t understand his meaning, while Shuang’er’s big eyes blinked, as if she wanted to say something.

Ran Yan hesitated for a moment, then nodded. She held no class prejudices herself—was she to advise Ran Yunsheng otherwise?

“How did you know the Liao River would flood at this time of year? Have you been there?” Xi Junmai always felt Yongning was unfathomable; she was young, yet knew so much, and was resourceful besides.

Zhen Nanfang said, “Old Shu, I want to return to the provincial capital!” Shu Yi glanced at Zhen Nanfang, knowing exactly what he intended.
