Chapter 44: It's Blistering Hot Now
Su Zhengxiang waited until Wei Yao left before placing little Ni onto the bed. Seeing that Qin Wangyuan had gone to the kitchen, she took the items out of the basket and, sure enough, spotted something else right at the very bottom.
When she first took the basket, she had felt that the weight was somewhat off. Thinking back to what Wei Yao had just mentioned—that Song Mingrui was returning to the troops in the next couple of days—she understood in her heart. Most likely, the child was going to be sent to a nursery, and Wei Yao wanted her help to look after the little one.
Actually, given Wei Yao's character and conduct, even if—
Sipping her coffee while reviewing Su Min and Yu Sheng's messages, Alice immediately called their manager to discuss the script. It turned out the other party had no particular work scheduled recently, and upon hearing it was a game-related filming project, they agreed right away. They would fly over to the UK next week to sign the contract and go through the procedures.
Fang Yusheng took out his key to unlock the door, feeling utterly vexed. He tried inserting it into the keyhole multiple times to no avail, his mind completely filled with the conversation he had overheard between her and Gu Xi after arriving at the Xiao family estate. At that exact moment, his heart began to grow tangled and complicated.
Jiang Yang acted like a chief steward, bustling about busily; he handled affairs at the Yimu Grand Workshop, assisted Elder Gao, and was capable of taking care of everything.
Having completed the series of preparations, Lanlos finally cast his gaze forward, staring with firm determination into the dim hallway, and began his operations like a ghost.
Wei Xiao's mood, however, was exceptionally wonderful. The fact that she could ask such a question indicated that she no longer minded much about him deceiving her, but was instead earnestly contemplating the future and way out for the two of them.
In Western fairy tales, this dragon is an embodiment of evil forever circling above city-states; yet it can also be the guardian deity in Eastern stories, serving as a totem of China.
However, because of Ye Moxing, their established plans were completely shattered. Not only did they rent an off-road vehicle suitable for mountain terrain, but they also found a local guide, literally recording this stretch of the journey into a sleep-inducing, wildly bumpy mountain ride.
A lingering trace of wishful thinking still remained in her heart, as if as long as she did not walk up to her father, there was still a possibility that he might be alive.
Just as Lanlos wanted to build on his success further, the fallen Hellfire burst into a heaven-reaching roar. Green flames surged up like a pack of starving wolves catching sight of fresh meat, scrambling one after another onto the bodies of the earth elementals and Lanlos.
As for this man, the first half of his life had been devoted to a lingering, gasping nation, while the entire second half was entrusted wholly to this newly born Chinatown in a foreign land.
The two of them walked for a full two hours yet still had not reached their dwelling; naturally, their route had been nearly a straight line.
Amidst his self-reproach and tender care, she could no longer hold back, sobbing intermittently. She had never expected it to hurt this much.
After all, this was a matter concerning her son's bedroom, and nothing had blown up into a scene. It was all her own guesswork, and if she made a mistake, it would be difficult to clean up the mess.
Leng Chen did not take Ning Xia back, but instead went to a village and entered a house belonging to someone quite familiar to him.
At this moment, Liu Huifang felt nothing but relief; as long as the child was alright, that was enough. She well knew that many people who suffered head injuries ended up mentally impaired for a lifetime with no hope of recovery.
In addition, I would also like to explain that I did not scheme against you or utilize you from the very beginning; I can swear to the heavens.
His pupils seemed to twitch slightly, but he remained completely expressionless, still refusing to show her any alternative expression. Clearly, he wanted to laugh inside, yet he forcibly held it back without letting out a sound. Both her actions and her words struck him as immensely amusing.
Although Tantai Mingyue and the others swept up the crowd, that heavy, oppressive force made it practically impossible for them to truly reach the summit.
Mo Ziye hooked the corners of his lips into a smile, gently pinched her chin, and slowly leaned in close to her face. When the tips of their noses touched, he gently kissed her lips with great tenderness.
She already belonged entirely to him. People only ever heard of the cooked duck flying away from their mouth, but could a duck that was already inside one's mouth and chewed into minced meat possibly fly away?
Ye Qianchong was held in his embrace and swayed for a moment. Seeing his actions, a vague premonition formed in her heart, but she had no spare time to react.
