Volume One, Chapter 136: The Little Girl

Fu Yuting keenly sensed that Bo Xingzhou was in an unusual mood tonight. Bringing her to this place so full of his personal memories could not possibly be as simple as admiring the night view.

She turned her head, her gentle gaze resting on the profile of his face outlined by starlight, and asked softly, “You seem to have something on your mind today. Is everything all right?”

It was the first time Tang Wan had ever seen a tortoise basking in the sun. It moved slowly across the gravel, looking utterly lazy and content.

Jiang Chengsi was exhausted as well. Taking advantage of the opportunity to get some fresh air, he went outside and called Si Qingxiao.

“But I heard there’s a man from Aba who has information about the magic lamp,” the merchant added.

Seeing the way Qiao Anqing was sizing him up, the driver realized that she had probably mistaken him for some seedy middle-aged man.

Su Zhan said that since they were going to White City to see Zong Qifeng, he had to take the two children away now.

Although the large-scale wave of educated youths returning to the cities had yet to begin, there were not many jobs available either. The original owner had been back for several months, yet the neighborhood office still had not assigned her any work, leaving her unemployed at home to this day.

As long as Mi Lele went over something once, she could remember roughly eighty percent of it. After hearing it a second time, she could recall almost everything.

“But seriously, what are you planning to do?” Shen Peichuan asked solemnly, his expression turning serious.

“The two of them are about the same age. They attended the same school from middle school onward and were rivals until Second Master went abroad for those two years. Even after Second Master joined the company, they continued to fight openly and covertly over various projects. It’s just that Young Master Xie has spent most of this year away from home, so they haven’t had many chances to clash,” Jiang Cuo explained.

The black cat had always been a complicated symbol—death, disaster, bad luck, and the like. Many people disliked it, and some were even afraid of it.

He teased her with a smile. “People have always said that the belle of A University was extraordinarily beautiful. I never believed them, but now that I’ve seen you for myself, I have to admit it’s true. And you have such a kind heart, too.”

Dawn broke as the rising sun illuminated the boundless sea. Gazing into the distance, one could see countless rays of golden light and waves soaring into the sky. The scene was magnificent beyond words, majestic and grand, imbued with endless splendor.

Unable to resist, Zhang Chen walked toward the direction of the screams. This time, he was not in a hurry, proceeding at an unhurried pace.

Qin Yue smiled. Although drinking had led to such a turn of events, the outcome was not too bad, was it?

Someone had dared to lay hands on his brother. He would never let the culprit off. Tonight was the perfect time to strike.

“I know that what I did when I ran away from the wedding was wrong. I’m sorry.” He Tiantian bowed deeply to Ji Shaosi in apology.

“Are you going to tell him yourself, or should I do it for you?” Ji Shaosi said as he reached for the phone in He Tiantian’s hand.

On the other side, Bai Qiankun, the War Immortal Marquis, also came over and began examining the metal spider. The expression on his face grew extremely grave.

Apparently, his child had merely been exposed to a few gusts of wind by the window the night before last, yet had been blown into this condition. The child remained unconscious, with a fever even worse than his own—an unprecedented forty-two degrees. It was practically hot enough to damage the brain.

Yi Fei was injured, and the Dark-Ice Divine Deer sensed that its master was in danger. It shrieked continuously as layer upon layer of dark ice emerged over its body, only to be shattered by chains one after another.

Ding Linglin gave a bitter smile. “Not only have I never heard of them, I don’t even recognize these four names.” Names this strange and unusual were indeed unfamiliar to most people.

At last, she had managed to comfort the fellow. Now she would prepare the tea and biscuits, then make lunch and get to work. Another day full of energy had begun.

When Lin Di was designing games on Aishabisi Island, he had originally planned to use a prepaid time-card payment model. However, after one conversation with Qian Lai, he changed his mind.

The sunlight had already illuminated the dark, cold earth, as well as the three characters carved on the stone monument by the roadside: “Phoenix Market.”
