Jian Chengxi smiled. "Why are you now calling it just kids fooling around with each other?" Lita, angry and embarrassed, said, "You… you… what are you so proud of? Aren’t you just relying on how powerful your husband is? Just wait, your good days won’t last long. Once your Marshal takes a concubine, I’ll see how long a country bumpkin from the Underground City like you can keep being happy!" Jian Chengxi just looked at her calmly. "So what if I'm from the Underground City, and you, on the…-

The others in the office were stunned. The dwarf child’s mother looked in surprise at Jian Chengxi, who was sitting on the sofa. Jian Chengxi pulled his child to sit down. Faced with this kind of tense, pressing atmosphere, he neither panicked nor acted overbearing. He even had the leisure to tidy up his child’s messy bowtie. Li SuiSui said softly, “Daddy, are we waiting for the police here?” Jian Chengxi nodded. “Yes.” The dwarf child’s mother, Lita, spoke up. “What’s the…

Jian Chengxi smiled and said, “You look good.” Li Suisui walked a few steps toward the mirror in a serious manner and said in her soft, childish voice, “Magic mirror, magic mirror, who is the most beautiful woman in the world?” The mirror stood silently. Jian Chengxi’s eyes curved with a smile as he played along with her. He imitated the tone of the magic mirror, “Oh, my dear Queen, of course it’s you.” A smile spread across Li Suisui’s fair face, her laughter light and crisp.…

The emperor looked at Jian Chengxi, never having imagined that this man from the countryside would dare to speak to him like this. He was the ruler of Sky City, a person of high status! What’s more... When he looked at Jian Chengxi's eyebrows and eyes, it reminded him of someone he extremely hated. Forget it, why should he argue with a country bumpkin? The emperor turned to Li Lingfeng and said with a slight smile, "Marshal Li, your wife really knows how to joke." He thought Li Lingfeng…

At this moment, Qiu Xuning stood outside the swimming pool, looking very nervous. He Zhiyuan walked over with his bag, and naturally placed his hand on Qiu Xuning's shoulder, blocking his escape route. "Go in," he said. Qiu Xuning followed He Zhiyuan into the swimming pool with his legs stiff. It was already the holiday, and there were quite a few people in the swimming pool, mostly women with children and middle-aged men in their thirties or forties. It was lively, almost like stepping into a…-

Today it is still raining, but it feels a bit more stuffy than yesterday. Qiu Xuning opens the window to let in some fresh air and folds the clean clothes that he didn’t have time to fold yesterday, which were piled at the foot of the bed. He neatly stacks them and puts them into the wardrobe. It’s clear that he didn’t sleep well again, having cried earlier, so his eyes are slightly swollen, and there’s a faint dark circle under his eyes. After folding the clothes, he grabs the trash bag from…

This dinner left everyone feeling uneasy. Qiu Xuning didn’t have much of an appetite either but to avoid getting hungry later, he still forced himself to finish a bowl of rice. After the meal, Zhou Mingmei couldn’t stand the way Qiu Xuning kept staring at her with those pleading eyes, as if he had a lot to say. With no other choice, she said, “I’ll go pay the bill.” Qiu Xuning let out a sigh of relief, the corners of his mouth curving into a smile. The waiter who had greeted them earlier…

Qiu Xuning knew he had no right to lecture Zhou Mingmei and the others. After all, they were his elders—even if they had made mistakes, as a junior, it wasn’t his place to say much. Yet ever since Qiu Zhaozhao told him she wanted to drop out of school to earn money, to Qiu Haiyan’s overwhelming grievances, and now to Zhou Mingmei shamelessly taking advantage of others, the discomfort in Qiu Xuning’s heart had slowly built up and by today, it had reached a breaking point. Zhou Mingmei and the…

An indescribable atmosphere grew and spread between the two of them, like the summer wind, carrying a trace of heat and lingering tenderness, or like the grass about to break through the soil, restless and eager to emerge. Neither of them spoke. After a while, Qiu Xuning’s cheeks flushed slightly. He looked away and said softly to He Zhiyuan, “My mom’s taking me out to dinner tonight. Why don’t you come too?” He Zhiyuan said nothing. Qiu Xuning glanced at him quickly, then lowered his…

The legendary, noble and aloof Archangel was wailing like a ghost in the living room. The servants and attendants stood far away, as if long accustomed to this scene. Jian Chengxi held the child and exchanged a glance with Li Lingfeng. While wailing, Mirage glanced at the child by Jian Chengxi’s side and said, “Although you’re not much yourself, your two kids do look pretty good.” Jian Chengxi replied, “These are my daughter and son, both three years old.” Mirage crouched down,…
