Chapter 29: Promise Me

Seeing that Old Master Xu had regained his senses, Xu Qingcheng could no longer hold back. Tears slid down her cheeks like a string of broken pearls. Her face was already streaked with tears, and now she clung tightly to her grandfather’s hand, her voice choked with sobs. “Grandpa, I was so scared…”

Old Master Xu, weak as he was, managed to squeeze out a faint smile.

The man in his forties was Captain Xing, a native of Xingjia Town. The younger man was Officer Cao, a recent graduate of the police academy, soon to be promoted, but first needing grassroots experience.

Wang Lanhua spent her days matchmaking, acting as the go-between. As long as a marriage was arranged, both families would have to thank her generously.

Qiao Xi had no idea who the two of them were. The chubby girl was named Pang Qianqian, whose father was the Director of Education at the county’s first high school.

The third beer bottle was even more outrageous. Though it missed its target and veered off course, it made a sharp turn as if it had eyes, and knocked another person to the ground.

Huang Yalian seemed to have been suppressing her anger for a long time. Now, all her resentment and hatred were unleashed upon Qiao Xi.

Each person got a cup of hot milk, a bacon sandwich, and a fried egg. Just the aroma was enough to make one’s mouth water.

Leaving aside the reason for their earlier quarrel, she had kicked Shen Yali right in front of Mu Lianyou. Her boyfriend had run off instead of staying, and afterwards even came back to apologize. Was he out of his mind?

But just as they reached out, a cold, biting wind suddenly swept between their legs. An intense pain immediately seized their bodies.

Although this tutorial provided an impressively thorough introduction to everything, it still wasn’t enough to satisfy Yu Santouming.

They had just finished tidying up the new house, but as the war dragged on, the bed became a mess, the sofa was a disaster, the coffee table was in chaos, and the dishes—like the two of them—were tangled up together in various positions.

He was a noble prince, after all. Why should he be overshadowed by the likes of Xiao Lang and Xiao Qi, those rustic troublemakers and harbingers of disaster?

“Beautiful, truly beautiful!” Liang Cheng stared fixedly at Yun Hanrui’s face, murmuring to himself.

Wan Baobang commanded the artillery unit to bombard the Japanese advance, effectively slowing their attack.

He felt the chill as soon as he got off the plane. City C was farther north than North City, and the temperature was noticeably lower. While North City was still overcast, here a heavy snow was already falling.

“It’s an old problem. It always flares up at the full moon. It’s uncomfortable, but it’s nothing serious,” Xiao Yu answered breezily.

The eldest son of the Tang family had always been unconventional. You’d never see him so nonchalant at a formal event, nor would you see his refined, aristocratic demeanor in everyday life.

At this moment, Xue Yue sensed that the splendid victory of annihilating an entire Japanese division was now firmly in his grasp. He sent urgent battle reports that night to Chairman Jiang in Zhengzhou and Cheng Qian.

Kaitlyn seemed very anxious. She dashed out of the surveillance room without a backward glance. Wang Ye, Hunter, and Yu Zhiming exchanged a look, each seeing bewilderment in the others’ eyes.

“Useless!” Nannan remarked dryly, then went over with Qi Yu and together they struggled to push the impossibly heavy equipment into the dining room.

Xue Muchun finally caught up to Bai Feiyue, just in time to see the car already driving past the crosswalk.

Fu Xinghe sighed, lifted Jiang Qi in his arms, and carried her into the bathroom. He turned on the cold water from the shower heater and began spraying her face.

Zhu Qing knocked on the door for a while to no avail, then returned to her room. She found the suit jacket Xu had left behind, and from inside it retrieved his phone.

—Team Leader Yang, actually, the reason I came to you isn’t anything major. I just wanted to ask about that Manager Cao.
