Chapter 39 — A Legal Agreement “Shen Hechuan, can you hold me?” Right after Qiao Le said those words, before Shen Hechuan could even process what was going on, his arms had already wrapped around him. One hand pressed against the back of Qiao Le’s head, pulling him tightly into his embrace. It wasn’t the first time Qiao Le had shown this kind of vulnerability—but it was the first time he had openly voiced his need for him. Shen Hechuan thought to himself that he really should…- 182.5 K • Completed
The carriage rolled to a stop at the side gate of Helan Mansion. An elderly servant hunched over and opened the door. Helan Jingjiang personally helped his sister out of the carriage and led her inside. The old servant took the carriage away. Helan Jingjiang said, "Baozhi, I should buy you some maidservants. At the Duke's mansion, it's not convenient without a maid following you." Helan Baozhi replied, "Brother, didn't you say before that you didn't want to stay in the capital and wanted to petition His…- 643.5 K • Completed
- The hall once again fell into dead silence. That crisp call of husband was too conspicuous, making it hard not to make people notice. Xia Huaishan's loose skin trembled slightly, looking in the distance with doubt. Is the relationship between Xia Zhi and Shen Shixiao actually this good? On the other side, Xia Mingxuan's face was deathly pale. Qin Wanru muttered, "In broad daylight, he is not afraid of losing face—even our Xia family is still afraid of losing face." With a "bang" sound,…

- This question was both simple and not so simple. It felt like a casual inquiry, yet it also seemed like something Duan Zhiyan had been waiting a long time to ask, carefully choosing the moment to toss it in front of Chi Yunxing. Chi Yunxing froze for a long time, unsure how to answer. Should he say yes? But it didn’t quite feel like it. What stuck in Chi Yunxing’s mind more was what Duan Zhiyan really meant by “you like older people.” As a friend? Or something more intimate—a…

The stall wasn't located on either side of the road but was crammed into a corner, with only a small space about a meter wide. It didn't seem to attract many customers. When Wei Yang walked over, he immediately understood why. The vendor had a sharp, weasel-like face, with shifty eyes that made him look extremely untrustworthy. While it's true that all merchants have their tricks, wearing such an expression on your face was a surefire way to scare off business. Coupled with the fact that the stall didn't…- 380.6 K • Completed
- Liang Ziyue was considered the most down-to-earth among this group of second-generation heirs. His background wasn’t as intimidating as the Ke or Chu families, and he was more straightforward and gentle. He wasn’t particularly close to Ke Mingxuan, and he only spoke a few extra words with Bian Yiqiu when they were off-roading because of his daughter. Afterward, they could be called friends at best, the kind who’d call each other to check in during the holidays. They didn’t keep in regular contact,…

When Li Tang returned to the room, the commotion had ceased. Everyone had returned to their seats. Cao Yang was duetting with Li Meiqi on "Roof," their gazes filled with affection. On the other side, Huo Xichen and the square-faced boy were glaring at each other from across the room, the air thick with tension. Seeing Jiang Lou and Li Tang enter together, Huo Xichen looked away, surprised and delighted. "Lou… Brother Jiang, when did you arrive?" "Just now," Jiang Lou said, sitting down in the…- 197.1 K • Completed
- Xiao Mingxuan wrapped an arm around his waist and pulled him in. With the other hand, he tilted Song Feng’s chin upward, applying just enough pressure to deepen the kiss. His tongue pushed forward, lingering in a slow, tangled swirl. Song Feng tilted his head back, allowing the kiss to go deeper. He knew the man still had to monitor the test, so he figured this would end soon. It was just a kiss. He didn’t mind. The door was right beside him. Through it, he could hear the music and voices from…

I was a baby who rarely cried. My mother said that even at the moment I was born, instead of a robust cry, I only let out a faint whimper, so she thought I had died in her womb. She said it felt strange when she first held the healthy, four-limbed newborn in her arms. As if a life had been mistakenly given to a child who was fated never to have been born. A child who was somehow creepy, like a fraudulent life-form. I understand my mother’s feelings. A single mother who had received an unwanted…- 171.7 K • Ongoing
