Chapter 126: Signing the Contract

Ye Feng ignored Sister Hong and the man in the Mercedes, turning directly to Xiaoxiao. "Go get the keys and show me around." Though skeptical, Xiaoxiao ran inside to retrieve them. A moment later, she returned with a ring of keys, confirming once more, "Are you really going to take a look?" "Let's go," he replied.

"Are you alright?" Seeing Han Wei descend, Li Hua immediately pulled him aside, keeping as much distance from the rocky hill as possible.

"Don't cry. With me here, those who bullied you will pay the price," Wushuang said, pulling me into his embrace.

"Are you okay?" Li Hua supported Han Wei, concerned that his strange expression meant he was injured, even forgetting to pick up the fallen knife.

The oppressive atmosphere did not last long. The silent space where Han Wei, Li Hua, and the others stood was suddenly broken by a creaking sound, which quickly escalated into a rhythmic thumping, as if stone were grinding against stone, drawing everyone’s gaze.

Princess Showa followed his line of sight. Jun Qiluo was practically draped over Long Yin; although they weren't looking this way, from this angle, she could see them clearly, meaning they could certainly see her as well.

"Brother Han, are you alright?" It had been Li Chun’s shout that startled Han Wei into awareness. Seeing Han Wei sweating profusely in the cold wind and trembling uncontrollably, he feared something had happened and hurried forward to steady him.

"Fine, fine, fine. Next time, sell me for a good price so you can earn enough for the rest of your life in one go," I said, leaning against the bed while clicking through the television channels with the remote.

Back at the Xiao residence, Tang Min had watched Xiao Jingchen stand up to take a call. His son had been signaling him repeatedly, and Xiao Zi, seated beside him, had also urged him to go outside and check the situation.

Furthermore, the previous battle between Tianxing Yunxing and Ling Feng had embarrassed the Tianxing family in the Imperial Capital, fueling Tianxing Wuyue’s rage.

Long Xue knew there was no longer a place for her in this household. With the imperial guards arriving outside, she had no choice but to leave. She tidied herself up in the mirror, gathered a few belongings and her personal savings, and stepped out the door.

Qingge paid no mind to his displeasure, nor could she understand it; she had simply stated the facts.

For some reason, she suddenly felt a surge of heat in her chest, as if something burning was about to erupt.

Behind them, the staff watched the pair depart, wearing meaningful smiles.

Ma Qingyi wiped away her tears and pulled the coat he had given her tighter around herself, staring hollowly into the distance. Shang Xiao knew she couldn't take anything in right now, so he sat beside her, keeping her silent company.

After all, this was the first time so many world-renowned billionaires had appeared in Lancheng. Any one of the car owners gathered at the entrance of the Wanghai Hotel was a perennial fixture on the global rich lists.

A faint, familiar scent seemed to linger in the air, so subtle it was almost imperceptible. Before he could identify it, a cold breeze blew, and everything vanished as if it had never been there.

It was on that very Christmas Eve that they finally began to grow close, transitioning from mere acquaintances into something more.

At this moment, Yang Jile had shed that air of seduction, reverting to her usual style: simple and elegant.

As for the raw materials used by the matter-antimatter annihilation reactor to produce energy, they were extremely inexpensive.

"Confidence! Naturally, I have confidence. Then I wish you both a resounding success!" Chen Yuansheng nodded with a smile.

The five servants trailing behind him gradually lost pace with Xu Zipei, falling far behind.
