Chapter 131: Childhood Sweethearts

If Ye Cheng were asked whom he trusted most, the answer would undoubtedly be Lin Yurou.

She had grown up with him, childhood sweethearts who had always been together, and she was utterly devoted to him.

Unfortunately, his former self had been hopelessly obtuse, a block of wood with an aloof and arrogant bearing. He had treated Lin Yurou coldly, which was why she was still a virgin.

Lin Yurou had already grown accustomed to the changes in Ye Cheng, as docile as though...

With the fame of the White Emperor behind her, the popularity of the Queen of Songs Li Xiao, and Li Xiao’s voice as a guarantee...

Ye Wanwan simply took off her high heels, then slipped out of Shen Yi’s embrace and placed her feet on his thighs.

Lin Zhibai had come to Qizhou. Although Ye Junji was flustered, he thought that at worst, he could simply avoid the man.

Li Chengjing had never imagined that he had only meant to join in the festivities and call out casually. He certainly had not expected himself to shout out something like that.

Xia Ting knew nothing of Ye Wanwan and Shen Yi’s identities. In any case, everyone who came to give birth at their private hospital was either rich or powerful.

Tang Li was taking revenge for the “surprise” he had given him on New Year’s Eve, forcing him to find people to manipulate online comments while he was still eating his New Year’s dinner.

Upon hearing this, Steward Liu immediately let out a long breath. Only then did he realize that his back had been drenched in cold sweat at some point.

She felt that appearing in the video like this was rather improper and was just about to shift her body when Chen Yu’s arms pulled her back and held her firmly in place.

That was perfectly normal. Feng Ang knew who was supporting the rebel army from behind the scenes, so the best course of action was to negotiate privately with the Ning family and persuade them not to act recklessly.

Suddenly, the gates outside Hezhou City swung open. The others all struggled to their feet, but the gates closed again almost at once. Perhaps this had happened countless times before. Though the road to survival lay within arm’s reach, they remained trapped in hell.

“I understand. We are all grasshoppers tied to the same string now, so let us join forces and discuss how to deal with the Church.” Beidou changed his mind, and the swelling aura around him slowly subsided. Why should he fear Ji Tian? Once fear took root in his heart, he would only be unable to advance any farther.

Bai Ye was rendered speechless. Seeing Yang Shanshan’s seductive expression and affectionate gaze, he could not help feeling a stir of attraction. He hurriedly coughed several times, then drove back toward the Yang residence.

Zheng Shan shook his head and pointed behind Xu Li. In the heap of rotten grass lay a very inconspicuous shoe.

“You’ve had a hard time lately. Work well with Qifan.” Lu Zheng also offered a businesslike smile, the corners of his lips faintly raised in an expression that was almost, but not quite, a smile.

Yaba Huzi shook his head from side to side, calling urgently with a rumbling sound. His two short arms clutched my hand and tugged outward, as though he wanted to teach me to follow him.

“It’s nothing.” I shook my head at Qiao Yichen, dropped the box of condoms, picked up the toiletry bag, and began putting in the facial cleanser and the rest of my toiletries.

Wei Ningxi was still Wei Ningxi—the heir to the Duke of Wei. His reputation remained, as did that of the Duke of Wei’s household. Princess Ruining’s status remained, and the dignity of Great Xia remained as well.

Tonight, it seemed as though they had returned to the past, to the time before she had witnessed that scene. Yet she knew this would be the last time.

“Senior Ling still loves to joke. If you do not restrain your aura, my guests will not be able to endure it.” Beidou smiled as he picked up the microphone. In an instant, the amplified sound waves spread to every corner of the entire base.

Chen Zui waited until Chen Xudong had gotten out of the car, then turned the steering wheel. The eight-owner Passat made a turn and headed back the way they had come. His explanation just now had merely been an evasion meant to placate Chen Xudong; he had already come up with another plan.

Yet in Liu Hu’er’s words, “when he first drilled the troops,” the “troops” referred to Xu Shiji’s personal retinue.

By the time Li Shandao and the others arrived, Xu Shiji had just told everyone that Fengqiu could be converted into a defensive interception position. However, he had not yet mentioned the “other two points.” Thus, not only Li Shandao but also Luo Xiaode and Nie Heita listened with rapt attention, waiting for Xu Shiji to explain them.
