Volume 1, Chapter 34: Meeting Too Late

"My Lady, no, I truly did not..." Lan'er sobbed uncontrollably, whether from terror or from disappointment in Luo Xiuyuan, it was impossible to tell.

I did not even ask why, for I understood. Perhaps I had lacked confidence in him before, feeling that he had changed, but now, I believe I know the reason for his actions.

Night is a time that clouds the mind and stirs the senses, especially for her, having just received a call from a brother she thought had "risen from the dead," leaving her incomparably fragile.

"Do you not hate me? Zhuangzi hates me too; you all hate me." Uncle Jiang spoke as if he were too famished to form the words.

Before getting into the car, Jian Yijun glanced at him once more and smiled, feeling that the tides of fortune had turned. In the past, it was always she who had racked her brains trying to get Wen Youheng out of such places.

There are some things that, if you cling to them, you are merely tormenting yourself, not the other person.

Meimei leaned against the wall, exhaling clouds of smoke from the cigarette held between her fingers. When she saw me, she tossed the cigarette aside and crushed it beneath her heel.

The Governor of Huaian City stood ready for battle; soldiers were stationed every two paces, and the innermost circle was guarded by the Emperor's own imperial guards.

She let out a pained hiss, begging for mercy repeatedly, insisting she was innocent while glancing toward me again and again.

It would be better to take advantage of the moment while Zhan Junyu was away to think clearly about whether her feelings for him were merely a flicker of touched emotion or genuine love.

Ye Zhixing knew full well that Zhan Xiao was a stubborn soul! Even if she had connections to leverage, she would never force herself to stay.

With those words spoken, he wound the finished fishing line around a stone he had found nearby and lowered it slowly into the water.

Otherwise, given his usual temperament, after discovering a saltwater crocodile in the swamp, he would have preferred to face venomous snakes and wild cats in the jungle rather than go near the water again.

To prevent the company from collapsing once more and for the sake of its future, Lan Chenghui had no choice but to bite the bullet, hoping to persuade Mo Bai.

Just when the audience thought Master Xu would go straight inside, who would have imagined he would stop before the wooden wall of the house, staring intently at a single mushroom growing among the moss.

Inside the conference room, Dean Adrian’s face was etched with anger as he barked orders, his expression unable to mask a deep sense of anxiety. Fifty-six lives, and after so many days in the hospital, they were still not out of danger—the impact on the reputation of the Royal Hospital was catastrophic.

With a deafening roar, a blow slammed the grey figure directly into the floor of the Baishui Merchant Alliance hall.

The wretched Jin soldiers continued to send men to their deaths wave after wave; they would have no hope until the Song army's ammunition was exhausted.

If the viewers in the livestream had seen such an expression, their jaws would surely have dropped in astonishment.

Almost everyone knew that as the grand event was about to begin, the so-called Imperial Prince Jun Han would engage in a life-or-death duel with Qin Ting of the Qin family atop the Imperial Ruins.

Yet before she could enter—or rather, before she could even lift her foot—Lu Feng and Li Jing'er walked out together. The two were chatting and laughing, looking exactly like a pair of lovers deeply in love.

The room where Zhouzhou was being held had thick curtains drawn, making it impossible to see through the wall to target the criminal.

If the Cao family discovered that Li Jing'er had reached out to ask Cao Ge for money, what would they think? They would certainly believe she had married into the Cao family out of greed for wealth and status, and she, swept up by all these emotions, felt her fragile heart tremble.

Yu Yun’s voice was kept at a volume only the two of them could hear, though to outsiders, it presented quite a different scene. However, everyone kept their gossip buried deep inside, swallowing the words back down.
