The Meng family's ancestral home was located in the eastern part of the city, nestled against a mountain and beside water, making it a precious piece of land with a reputation for auspiciousness, known for the purple aura coming from the east. When Xi Yufeng arrived, no one was in the living room. After a while, Mother Meng descended from upstairs and instructed the housekeeper to brew tea. They sat down and chatted for a bit. When Xi Yufeng took out the prenuptial agreement, Mother Meng's…- 178.8 K • Completed
- Jiang Ruo had heard about it and didn't take it to heart. He merely recalled that Xi Yufeng had never mentioned his father before. It was Aunt Fang who had mentioned it once or twice, saying that the master knew that Xi Wangchen was useless, yet he still tried his best to lead him onto the right path. This showed that the master was biased. He didn't value Xi Yufeng despite how outstanding he was, but held Xi Wangchen, a good-for-nothing, in the palm of his hand because Xi Yufeng didn't have a mother to…

- A wedding reception typically involves a set routine — the exchange of rings between the bride and groom, speeches from both sets of parents, and the playing of a sentimental video clip. Director Liu had prepared a short film centered around Zhou Xinyao, pieced together from various scenes. There were clips of her walking down the red carpet, eating ice cream, squatting outside a church feeding pigeons, dozing on a folding chair on set, and even footage of her covering her face in tears when she was…

- The movie "Skin" officially started production on the day of the Lantern Festival. The director led the cast and crew in setting up an altar at the filming location, burning incense to pray for a smooth shoot and hoping for success in both popularity and critical acclaim. The outdoor scenes were set in Sea City, featuring beaches, river views, and small western-style houses, perfectly matching the story's backdrop of opulence hidden under the smoke and fire of a tumultuous era. The director was…

- A brief exchange on WeChat. Jiang Ruo asked about the item left behind, and Xi Yufeng mentioned it was a script. It reminded Jiang Ruo that he had printed out extra copies of the "Skin" script before, with one placed under the coffee table, convenient for reading while lounging on the sofa. He had forgotten about it when moving out, so Jiang Ruo hesitantly asked, "Would it be too much trouble for you to mail it to me?" A few minutes later, Xi Yufeng replied, "It's not very convenient." It made…

- It was noon on New Year's Day, and the Xi family was hosting their family banquet. Because they were soon to become in-laws, the Meng family also sent representatives. Seating arrangements were significant; elders sat on one side while the younger generation took their places on the other. As soon as they were seated, Meng Lan couldn't help but steal several glances at Xi Yufeng, eventually leaning in to whisper, "What's wrong with you? You look terrible." Xi Yufeng seemed lost in thought, startled…

- Two days before the Spring Festival, Jiang Ruo returned to the large apartment in the city center to pack up his belongings and move out. He had already confirmed from Aunt Fang's information that he chose a time when Xi Yufeng wouldn't be around. When using his fingerprint to unlock the door, everything inside remained as it was when he left. Jiang Ruo stared at his slippers by the entrance for a while before pulling out disposable shoe covers from his pocket. Fortunately, he didn't bring much…

- What followed for Jiang Ruo was an even longer, more profound silence. Xi Yufeng's expression was nearly blank, as if he had heard some obscure, incomprehensible language. But the subconscious reaction could not lie; Jiang Ruo did not see even a hint of surprise in his eyes, proving that he wasn't completely unaware of the matter at hand. The extent of Jiang Ruo's feelings for Xi Yufeng far exceeded reasonable bounds. Yet, understanding and hearing it firsthand were two vastly different…

- With the New Year approaching, Xi Yufeng found time to pay Meng Chao a visit. Meng Chao was unusually present at the company, not his usual self, wandering about. When Xi Yufeng knocked and entered, he found him staring blankly at a document. He only realized someone was there when Xi Yufeng approached, hastily flipping the document over and tossing it on the corner of his desk. A quick glance revealed the clear logo of a certain hospital on the paper. Xi Yufeng asked, "Is Auntie unwell?" "No,"…

- The only wine in the room that was stored in a wooden box was the bottle Jiang Ruo had brought. Perhaps sensing the uncanny coincidence, Xi Yufeng looked at the waiter, who promptly said, "It was Miss Meng's request; I'm just following orders." After a brief pause, Xi Yufeng reached for the bottle of wine but was beaten to it by Jiang Ruo, whose palm pressed against the top of the wooden box. "This is a gift for you," said Jiang Ruo. His expression was inscrutable, his hand firmly held down the…
