Volume 1, Chapter 53: Winter Banquet
"What Xianxian just said is quite out of place. To my ears, it sounds more like you are flirting with me."
"..."
Another punch landing squarely on cotton.
"If you don't answer, you might not be able to get out of this carriage today," he murmured softly, lowering his head as he intended to lean closer.
Qin Xianxian pushed against him firmly with both hands.
It was currently the time of day for leisure. Pushing open the door, the guests inside had already occupied more than half of the tables. To her surprise, there were quite a few people.
Suddenly, Ye Yuan executed a backward empty flip, his feet pointing toward the sky and hands reaching downward. His large hands, like the talons of a falcon catching a snake, fiercely grabbed the three-meter-long spears thrust by the eight men.
"This is the elder of a good friend of mine. He has been taking care of me ever since I came to Victoria. Although he's not my biological second uncle, he's better than one."
Shen Sufu was still thinking that her mother had nothing to worry about. Her brother-in-law had even specially hired a nanny for the family, meaning the elderly couple didn't even need to worry about their three daily meals. What on earth was she worrying about?
Arriving at the dining hall, she loaded her tray with green vegetables, eggs, rice porridge, bread, and mashed potatoes. In the basket were also some oranges, limited to one per person.
After finishing her shopping, Shen Sufu was checking out. She still felt a bit apprehensive inside; Huo Qinhui's friends in the capital were part of Jiang Jinyan's circle, and they all knew each other very well.
After a collision, Ares was sent flying by Su Yuan with a grave expression on his face. Within the domain of victory, his strength had been suppressed. This meant that Su Yuan had begun, to a certain extent, to break through the blockade of the God of War domain.
By this time, the Strategic Science Reserve was already well-versed in the principle of diversity, featuring people of all races, so Su Yuan did not particularly stand out. He casually found a table and sat there sipping a glass of fruit juice.
Never mind that his son had "given his all" for the locust army; Old Master Kong of our household remained a faithful running dog of the locust army. When the Japanese devils were forming the new security brigade, he spared neither money, effort, nor men, eventually landing himself the gig of head of the maintenance association.
He Qingfan got up and left, saying nothing more. He could only pretend to be completely ignorant and dared not tell Gu Xunyi about this matter—what if Li Feihong were to fight him to the death?
The bearded escort did not say much either. It was snowing heavily now, and the escort agency could not stay here alone for too long. Seeing that Gu Chen did not seem like a bad man, he agreed to take him in.
"This Empress is doing quite well, it's just that I miss Yu'er. In the blink of an eye, she has been away for several years! Sister Hanyan, this Empress advises you to turn back now!" The Empress's complexion was not very good, especially after recently learning that Mu Yibo and Mu Han had both been imprisoned, while she herself was grounded and unable to leave.
At this moment, all the soldiers had marched out of the camp. Before they had walked many paces, a sound of footsteps roaring like a mountain came from the mountain col on the other side. Accompanied by those footsteps were the thunderous rumbling of horse hooves and a cloud of dust rising to the sky.
Dressed exquisitely and with an air of aristocratic aloofness, his words and gestures fully displayed the poise and restraint of a mature man. Coupled with a handsome face possessing distinct Oriental features, he drew the glances of many around him.
Old Woman Ping in the carriage was too dumbfounded to speak at that moment. She gazed at Chen Rong, looked at her intently, and suddenly, tears streamed down her face.
However, when Nangong Han learned the results of the DNA paternity test between himself and Yun'er, his expression changed instantly. Already exceptionally decadent and looking extremely pale, he now looked as lifeless as ashes and as dead as still water.
"Give my regards to my sister-in-law. By the way, the palace drama series she starred in is indeed wonderful! Marrying her is your blessing, Big Brother." As Jiang Chengce spoke, he handed Zhang Jin a cigarette and lit it for him on the spot.
Gradually, his kiss began to grow fierce. His tongue drove straight in, pursuing, teasing, and entangling, leaving her somewhat overwhelmed. Her whole body turned soft, and she almost collapsed onto the beach, had his large hands not caught her waist in time.
