The woman who came out of the room was wearing an apron, as if she had been cooking something. But it wasn’t even mealtime. What was she making at this hour? Jiang Yibai, curious, leaned slightly to peek inside. Zhen Zhen reacted quickly. She turned around and said, “Xiao Jiang, why don’t you go wait downstairs for a bit?” Jiang Yibai was an outsider here, and since she had already hinted for him to leave, it would’ve been shameless to stay and keep watching. He glanced at Si Shaorong, then…- 161.6 K • Completed
- It was Jiang Yibai’s first time seeing Zhen Zhen in person. He’d heard that Si Shaorong had a capable female assistant, but had never had the chance to meet her until now. Back when the rumors first started, many people assumed Zhen Zhen was the Great Master’s girlfriend, his so-called live-in assistant. That assumption had hit Jiang Yibai pretty hard. But within a year, Zhen Zhen had publicly clarified that there was absolutely nothing between her and the Great Master, and even laid out her…

- Jiang Yibai sprawled lazily on the sofa, his long legs stretched out straight. Smiling, he looked at Si Shaorong. “Ge, you’ve never been in a relationship before, have you?” Si Shaorong let out a soft sound of surprise, tilting his head slightly to look at him. The lazy sofa sat much lower, so Jiang Yibai had to tilt his head back as well. Across the coffee table, the two of them looked at each other from a distance. Jiang Yibai licked his lips and said, “Liking someone doesn’t need any…

- On the second day of staying at Jiang Yibai’s place, Si Shaorong hadn’t written a single word of his outline. At 9:30 in the morning, Jiang Yibai got up to wash up. His slippers made a soft dragging sound across the floor. He hummed a tune under his breath. Though he kept his voice low on purpose, Si Shaorong still heard it from the guest room. Surprisingly, Jiang Yibai’s humming was very pleasant to the ear. It had a warm, magnetic depth to it, very different from the bright, clear tone he…

- It was Si Shaorong’s first day living at Jiang Yibai’s place. Jiang Yibai got up at ten. He made breakfast, cleaned the house, and watched a movie in the living room. At one in the afternoon, a student came for a lesson. She was a frail young girl who had fallen behind in school due to illness and was currently on leave. The girl looked pale and thin. Her expression was either vacant or gloomy, like a flower slowly withering in a place untouched by sunlight. Just looking at her stirred a sense of…

- Song Feng didn’t go to the hospital. His eldest brother had a genius doctor under him whose skills easily eclipsed those of the top specialists in any of Beijing’s major hospitals. So, Song Feng was brought back to the family estate and laid on the big bed he hadn’t slept in for ages, clutching the dog he hadn’t seen in just as long. The two of them trembled and whimpered pitifully under the torment of Song Zhe’s loving tyranny. Xiao Mingxuan sat face-to-face with the General for nearly two…

- When Song Feng was wheeled into the operating room, he was still running a high fever. Combined with severe blood loss, he remained unconscious for a full day and night before finally waking. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a small hospital room. The glass window not far away was tinted with a reddish glow, suggesting it was late evening. He felt a flicker of confusion. Where was he? “You’re awake? How do you feel?” His gaze shifted. Xiao Mingxuan was sitting in a chair beside the…

- Even long afterward, Xiao Mingxuan would never forget how he felt in that moment. Fear and grief closed around his throat like a noose. He truly thought he might lose the man for good. Staggering to his feet, he carried Song Feng out of the alley in his arms. The gunshots rang out sharp and clear in the night. Onlookers on the street craned their necks, and when they saw him, they screamed and backed away, their faces filled with panic. “Does anyone have a car? I need to get him to a…

- By the time Xiao Mingxuan and Song Feng finished treating their wounds, it was already noon. They had been awake for more than twenty-six hours straight and finally took turns resting. Neither of them slept for long, as the danger had not yet passed. Song Feng felt a bit dizzy. The pain in his left shoulder hadn’t eased at all. He looked over and asked, “How are you feeling?” “Still manageable,” Xiao Mingxuan replied. The medication Shao Xiujie provided was quite effective. Their injuries…

- Shao Xiujie didn’t know the full story, but the Shao family had its own intelligence network. When he woke up that morning, he was informed that Fu Shanming’s estate had been attacked during the night. Fu Shanming himself had been abducted and was now hospitalized. The news caught him off guard. He asked a few more questions, then realized something was off. He immediately ordered a thorough investigation, and finally confirmed that the one behind it all was Song Feng. Their contract had ended.…
