Chapter Seven: Lieutenant Du Encounters the Peach Blossom Array

Not right, it feels wrong, very strange

"Qiao, never mind, do not lose your temper at those who are unaware." I comfortingly patted his shoulder and said, "This matter cannot be hidden forever; my sister will eventually find out."

He would never have imagined that such a Cheng Yaojin would emerge halfway. Usually, he is proud to the point of being detestable, but now that he has been overshadowed by Qin Shiyue, he will surely remember this debt clearly in his heart. Lu Xingjiu has never been a gentleman, which makes me secretly worry for Qin Shiyue.

I believe, I believe you are just making excuses. I still have my Jiuxiang Building, after all. In this day and age, women ultimately have to rely on themselves. Very well, very well, you should go and accompany your Ye Yujie properly, and do not come to provoke me again

Tengu

My heart races rapidly, and the air around me suddenly feels crowded. My breath is filled with a faint scent of gardenias. I am unable to muster any strength; I cannot avoid confronting the long-suppressed desires within my heart. He is indeed a devil, and just when I had decided to completely leave hell, he uses my love to bind me.

I have become accustomed to not asking Qin Shiyue anything, even though I have a series of significant questions in my heart. After all, I once tried to ask and understand him. In the end, when I learned the whole truth, it was not what I wanted, nor what he wished to convey. The feelings between men and women may inherently differ; one desires to know desperately, while the other seeks to conceal desperately

Qiao smiled and led the applause, and everyone stood up from their seats. Zhang Xiaoqiang, with red-rimmed eyes, shouted: "The president is right! The president is absolutely correct!"

The soft features of Qin Shiyue's brows and eyes relaxed, as he pressed me hard against the wall, the stubble on his chin grazing my neck: "Ye Bingqing, what exactly do you want? I'm about to go crazy from your antics. You are not allowed to smile at other men, nor to wear the clothes of other men, and you must not speak coldly to me! I command you to do this, do you hear me!"

Joe's mother passed away from a serious illness during the war, when he was still very young. Suddenly losing his mother made him silent. He witnessed my recovery from a serious illness, and he cried for me. When I was taken into the operating room, he held my hand and said that I must come out alive. I understood that his mother had died on the operating table. That look in his eyes is something I will never forget; it was filled with fear, the fear of loss, the fear of tragedy repeating itself. He witnessed my recovery from a serious illness, and he cried for me. When I was taken into the operating room, he held my hand and said that I must come out alive. I understood that his mother had died on the operating table. That look in his eyes is something I will never forget; it was filled with fear, the fear of loss, the fear of tragedy repeating itself. I was receiving treatment alone abroad, and without Joe's companionship, everything would have turned into a terrifying memory

"Ye Bingqing, you are merely an unintended product of my plans. Why do you keep bothering me?" Qin Shiyue domineeringly pushed me to the side of the door, his eyes pressed against mine, filled with melancholy. I could hardly catch my breath. Was it I who disturbed him? Or was it he who disturbed me?

I walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered: "President Huang is giving you an opportunity! Fool, he appreciates you! Otherwise, would he let you handle such an important piece of news?"

I did not rest well all night, and early the next morning, I hurried to the newspaper office. On the roadside, a shabby newsboy was shaking the newspaper in his hand and shouting: "Major General Du Tianpeng's son Du Ai is seen entering and exiting the Palais de Danse with a well-known socialite in an intimate manner, while his fiancée, Miss Ye Yujie, the eldest daughter of the prominent businessman Mr. Ye Guangrong, is completely unaware!"

Is the moon from the Qin dynasty not coming back for dinner

Qiao does not know what trouble I have caused, but has been constantly advising me to be careful. I am indeed very safe now, with twenty-four-hour close protection from the Spider in the concession. However, I worry that this group of people is not simply targeting me; if they capture me, the only ones they can threaten are the Ye family.

Why don't you ask me the reason I saved you back?

It is truly domineering, although he means well for me, but staying in this cold, unwelcoming house all day is unbearable. My daily routine consists of eating, listening to the church bells, watching the pigeons, observing the sunset, and contemplating life; I am unable to do anything else. I respond sullenly, burying my head in the blanket

This mood makes me exceptionally depressed, but I quickly recalled something even more disheartening. I looked up at the wall clock; it was already six in the evening, the time when the newspaper office closes. No one answered the phone in Joe's office, so I had no choice but to call President Huang's office. President Huang said that the article had already been arranged for printing, and it indeed concerned the report about Du Ai and the socialite frequenting entertainment venues.

There is a chilling sensation, as if a wolf-like gaze is fixated on my back, ready to devour me at any moment

Have you found the residence of the second young lady

Have you finished eating

I turned to Joe and said, "Did you see that? Our country cannot be defeated, because we are here!"

Ye Bingqing, you know too much!" Lu Xingjiu revealed a gentlemanly smile: "My fiancée, can we go home now? My father-in-law will surely be very pleased.

When I returned to the apartment, I saw a woman sitting on the steps with a food box in her arms. Upon seeing me, she exclaimed with delight, "Miss Er! You have finally returned!" Zitao brushed off the dust from her clothes, held the food box tightly, and as I opened the door, she began to scrutinize the old apartment and nagged, "Miss Er, how can you live in such a place? It is even worse than our servants' quarters."

Lu Xing gave a cold smile: "So it turns out to be an old friend"

This is what is referred to as ... ... a burden ... ...

The batch of arms has already fallen into the hands of the revolutionary party. The informant who facilitated the transfer of the arms is a senior leader within the revolutionary party, codenamed "Tian Gou". You should be familiar with this codename. "Spider" said, "We will soon have some leads; we are currently luring the snake out of its hole."

What are you thinking? The spider's brows furrowed: "Have you had any contact with him?"

I stuck out my tongue at her and said, "I understand, I won't dare next time, but who is going to catch me?"

I do not want anyone to know that I am involved with you

We are childhood friends, unconditionally trusting and relying on each other as life-and-death companions

I made an excuse that I needed to go to the restroom, and then quietly followed to the private room on the second floor

Two individuals entered from outside the private room; they were Lu Xingjiu's left and right aides, Zuo Ying and You Nian. A white cloth was placed over my mouth, soaked in ether. I had already been on guard and quickly held my breath, pretending to struggle a bit before fainting. The two of them lifted me onto the sofa and turned to ask Lu Xingjiu: "Young Master, are we really going to send the Second Miss back to the Ye family? If that is the case, you will truly be unable to cancel the engagement. Is it worth it to do this?"

"Do not think about it." Qin Shiyue's brows were tightly knitted: "You are not allowed to go anywhere until I find out who is trying to harm you."

Fortunately, we are each other's angels

Completely correct, we are already living together, although she is your fiancée, it seems that she likes me more.

The smile of Lu Xing has turned cold: "Ye Bingqing, you are very clever, but a woman who is too clever will shorten her life. The Lu family and the Ye family are merely a facade of peace; Ye Guangrong is always considering how to bring the Lu family to ruin at any time and in any place"

Such a warm moment should have been bathed in sunlight, yet why does one encounter a messenger of hell? Qin Shiyue stood at the street corner across the road, a slight smile on his lips, casually lighting a cigarette, his brows and eyes reflecting a sense of languor

The spider nodded and glanced at the pocket watch, saying: "It's almost dinner time; I need to prepare a meal for you, young lady."

"Miss Er, do not worry." Zi Tao hurriedly put away the basket and left. I let out a big sigh of relief, and only after Zi Tao had walked far away did I say to the person on the stairs, "Come out quickly."

I wrapped my arms tightly in the leather jacket, feeling the chill in the air that sent a shiver down my spine. I feigned nonchalance as I changed the subject: "Have there been any updates on that batch of arms?"

I remember the first time I met Qiao was at school; he was not as sunny and cheerful as he is now. He always wore a cold expression, and no one was willing to approach him, while I was a sickly child, so no one wanted to come near me either. Perhaps it was because we both recognized each other's uniqueness that we ended up together. On the battlefield, whenever danger arose, Qiao would always be the first to jump out and protect me

What you are concerned about is understood. I will take you home right away, and you can listen for my news at any time. Qiao kindly draped his outer garment over my shoulders. It is already late autumn, and the morning temperatures are extremely low. All my autumn clothes are at the Ye family, so I am still wearing a qipao all day. My bare calves are cold, creeping up to my bones.

It is done, it is done, this matter is bound to cause a great uproar in the Ye family

President Huang, feeling relieved, relaxed his brow but still maintained a cold expression as he said: "Alright, enough flattery. As long as you produce a newspaper that satisfies the common people, I won't call you flashy donkey droppings anymore, it's settled! By the way, Bingqing, you and Zhang Xiaoqiang need to go to the Palais de Glace tonight. There is a military officer from the French Concession who wants to discuss his views on Japan's invasion of China and their stance on the matter. This is very important."

How is that sister

I felt a tremor in my heart and said: "It is coming for me; we cannot leave Granny Song unattended"

There is no place outside that is as convenient as home

Jin Ruyi's body was pressed against Du Ai like a pot sticker, and he seemed indifferent to it. The two of them entered the private room, laughing and joking intimately. Seeing that there was no one around, I pressed my ear against the door of the private room. This action was quite impolite, but I could no longer care about that.

The boss has something to attend to and will not be back for dinner. He may return very late, so you need not wait for him. The spider's voice was particularly cold and distant. I felt that I had made a boring remark and quickly fell silent. When alone, it is easy to let one's thoughts wander, and I could only feel that the Ye family seemed to be in trouble and danger, wanting to go back and take a look. However, although the spider was cold towards me, it absolutely forbade me from leaving the apartment even a step. I could only sit in my room after dinner, feeling desolate, as the night was enticing and time seemed to stand still. I waited until I heard voices downstairs.

"I do not need you to believe in me, I only want you to like me." Qin Shiyue's lips approached, and I panickedly dodged. He cupped my face with both hands, and his lips descended like the feathers of a swan, very light, very gentle. I was already deeply mired, with no way to turn back. Suddenly, the sound of a vase shattering came from downstairs. Qin Shiyue's brow furrowed slightly, and he exclaimed in alarm, pulling me to the window. There was a drainage pipe from the second floor to the garden below, and he cleverly carried me down along the pipe.

The mysterious employer makes a comeback

"Lu Xingjiu, why did you bring me here? Your woman Jin Ruyi is secretly meeting with my sister's man. I want to expose them; what does hiding here count for?" I suddenly realized and said, "Are you afraid of Du Ai's family background, so you dare not do anything to Jin Ruyi?"

I have been feeling disoriented for several consecutive days. I had made plans with Qiao to dine at a high-end restaurant, but I ended up going to the wrong place, causing him to wait for several hours in vain. The reports from the office over the past few days have lacked novelty; apart from interviewing about the cricket gambling at the cricket casino, it has been about what new songs have been released by the Belle Époque.

"Would you like to have a cup of coffee?" The spider did not know when it had appeared behind.

"There is no need, you just need to be well." Qiao said: "Thank God, if it weren't for you, I might not have learned how to smile by now"

Not yet, the second young lady has been found now, which is relatively safe. Currently, the underground detective agency is inquiring about the whereabouts of the second young lady, but it is unclear who is orchestrating this from behind the scenes. Although we are also clients of the underground detective agency, they will not disclose information about their clients, so this issue is quite tricky

It is precisely this Zhang Xiaoqiang that evokes a sense of compassion. He is the child of a poor family, having lost his mother at an early age. His father originally worked as a laborer at the docks, but his health deteriorated due to the hardships. The two siblings grew up almost entirely on the charity of others. Living in a slum, this child has experienced the harsh realities of life from a young age. His efforts, apart from striving for survival, are fundamentally aimed at helping children from similar backgrounds escape their current fate.

The apartment of Qin Shiyue is not very large; it is a duplex in an old building. The spider lives downstairs, while he resides upstairs. His rooftop is filled with wisteria, but it has already missed the blooming season, appearing particularly desolate. I called Qiao to report my safety; he went to the old apartment where I live, and the furniture inside was smashed to pieces, turned upside down.

He has never left me alone

I originally thought that I had completely given up on him. However, his words made my face involuntarily flush. It was not excitement, nor joy, but anger and grievance. Why does he have to disturb my thoughts in this way? Apart from deception and purposeful closeness, he cannot provide me with anything I truly desire

I could not afford to pay attention to the thigh dance, carefully surveying my surroundings to see if there were any acquaintances. Fortunately, the lighting was dim enough, which made me feel somewhat safer. I was unsure if it was my eyes playing tricks on me or if there was someone who looked similar, so I rubbed my eyes, and indeed it was Du Ai. He was dressed in formal military attire and had ascended to a private box on the second floor. A noblewoman was hanging on his arm, but she was not my sister. It was Jin Ruyi. A noblewoman was hanging on his arm, but she was not my sister. It was Jin Ruyi.

Do they not also have many stories that others are unaware of, and struggle and strive for their own narratives

A breath brushed past my ear, startling me so much that my hand trembled and hit the door

Moreover, someone has taken a reporter from the newspaper hostage to inquire about my whereabouts, but that reporter truly did not know my location and was released after being severely beaten

The maple leaves are just beginning to turn red

If so, let Zuo Ying accompany you to the Ye family, and I will immediately send additional personnel.

I suddenly feel that my father, although he has exploited me, or may continue to use me for other plans, is nonetheless my father. Regardless of whether he is ruthless or unscrupulous, that love and unbreakable bond of kinship cannot be erased by anything. And then there is my mother, and my elderly grandmother; they are all people who care for me, all worrying about me at home, hoping for my return

President Huang's gaze darkened, he lowered his head, took a deep breath, and then said earnestly: "Our country has reached a critical moment of life and death. Our Huanghua Morning Post does not seek to become well-known through war. I do not wish for the common people to feel alarmed when they receive our newspaper; rather, I want them to feel happiness. We do not welcome war; we are steadfastly facing it. I do not wish for the common people to feel alarmed when they receive our newspaper; rather, I want them to feel happiness. We do not welcome war; we are steadfastly facing it. We must be the eyes of the common people, providing them with spiritual support in the most difficult times, rather than instilling panic! Most of you have worked as reporters elsewhere, but I tell you, the news you have covered is not real news! We must focus on what the common people want to know, what they urgently want to know. You must remember, you are not only reporters, but also Chinese citizens. When war comes, you are not paying attention to it for the survival of the newspaper. We must focus on what the common people want to know, what they urgently want to know. You must remember, you are not only reporters, but also Chinese citizens. When war comes, you are not paying attention to it for the survival of the newspaper. Rather, you are paying attention to it for yourselves! For your families! For the countless compatriots you have!

"Stop talking nonsense, go check if there is anyone outside, we will leave through the back door." As he spoke, I felt Lu Xingjiu lift me up. My mind was racing, how to escape, how to escape? Before I could come up with a plan, I was already carried to the car by Lu Xingjiu. His fingers traced back and forth across my face, murmuring, "Why must it be you, this porcelain doll..."

This is merely an instinctive action, not a deliberate one. I suddenly noticed Qin Shiyue's caution; he appeared extremely fatigued, with weariness evident in his eyes. I couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy and said: "I won't ask what you've done; as long as you remain safe and sound every day, I will be at ease"

If you want to say something, you will say it yourself. If you do not want to say something, my repeated questioning will only lead to deception. I smiled calmly and said, Since deception is self-inflicted, why continue to make things difficult for oneself

Boss, how are you

What are you doing coming in? It is very impolite to enter someone else's room like this

In the Qin Dynasty, Cheng Yaojin emerged unexpectedly on the road under the moonlight.

Pigeons soar above the old church

"How is that possible?" I shook my head with unusual certainty: "I just find this person very mysterious, and if I get the chance, I must meet him."

I sighed, feeling a slight chill spreading from the top of my head to my toes

The person providing the clues has no good intentions at all. How could he know when Du Ai and Jin Ruyi would arrive at the Belle Époque, just as our reporter happened to be there? Reporters are not very bright. "I apologize," Qiao said, "I will take you home to rest. Since the matter has already occurred, we must leave it to fate."

Young Master, the matter you asked me to handle has been taken care of. I have already sent the news to the Huanghua Morning Post. They are a newly established newspaper and will certainly give significant coverage to such news.

This code is not unfamiliar; ever since he left me a note with a password last time, I have not received any further messages from him. No matter how mysterious he is, he is just an individual and cannot possibly know my whereabouts. However, Tiangou is a good person. If the Spider has no malicious intent towards him and is merely seeking compensation, then that would be acceptable. But if they truly intend to harm his life, that would be a serious matter. He has warned me before, and I must find a way to alert him.

Are you thinking right now that as long as you can break through this door, I wouldn't dare to do anything to you

If that's the case, then forget it, I will go back. I, Du Ai, have sincerely cared for you, yet I am met with such cold mockery. To speak of it, truly makes others laugh out loud. You indeed have some means, making me fall in love with you, only to cruelly break my heart. Are you treating me the same way you treat other men, merely wanting me to be infatuated with you, yet offering no hope? Jin Ruyi, if it is truly like this, then I... then I..." Du Ai suddenly found herself unable to utter any more harsh words. Are you treating me the same way you treat other men, merely wanting me to be infatuated with you, yet offering no hope? Jin Ruyi, if it is truly like this, then I... then I..." Du Ai suddenly found herself unable to utter any more harsh words. I was so furious that I was about to faint; my sister actually lost to such a woman, and to speak of it would also make others laugh out loud.

She may have already fallen asleep

Who is that man

I am going home to change my clothes! I have news!

Is there anything happening at home

At the meeting on Monday, everyone was anxious, especially Zhang Xiaoqiang, who had been performing poorly. If the newspaper were to undergo a personnel change, he would likely be the first to be replaced. The president repeatedly emphasized anxiously: "We are the eyes of the common people. Are we supposed to encourage ordinary citizens to gamble and indulge in high consumption? If you flashy, worthless individuals cannot produce valuable news, all of you can go back and eat your own words!"

The bait has already been cast; it remains to be seen whether the fish will bite. Qin Shiyue asked, "What about Ye Bingqing?"

What are you in such a hurry for? Oh, I remember now. If I can't find my things in another week, our marriage will be called off. Isn't that great? I hate you, and you hate me. I don't have to pretend to be innocent in front of your father every day, and you don't have to pretend to be affectionate in front of my dad. Although I say this, Lu Xingjiu is the kind of person who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. If I resist, he will really tie me up and take me back. There are so many people downstairs; if I rush out, he wouldn't dare to do anything. But Lu Xingjiu is the kind of person who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. If I resist, he will really tie me up and take me back. There are so many people downstairs; if I rush out, he wouldn't dare to do anything.

It is imperative to quickly uncover the mastermind behind this

So embarrassing

"Ruyi, do not rush. I think it is better to wait a bit and find an appropriate moment."

Are you saying that Ye Bingqing lives in your house

The spider is a clever woman; although she is not particularly beautiful, she is calm and shrewd enough. Such individuals can only thrive in high-risk professions for a long time. I turned to her and asked, "No likes, only suitability? What are you implying to me?"

I quietly opened my eyes and saw that the spider had already opened the door from the other side, unnoticed by Lu Xingjiu and Zuo Ying. By the time they reacted, the spider's gun was already aimed at Lu Xingjiu's head: "I apologize, Young Master Lu, but your gun was stolen by me long before you got into the car. Now, we are here to take away Ye Bingqing"

After Ruo Nian got out of the car, the vehicle turned into the alley that one must pass through to reach the Ye family. Suddenly, the car made an emergency stop, and Zuo Nian nervously honked the horn, saying: "Who blocked the car in front!"

The first floor is the home of that Granny Song. We crouched under the window and heard a man's voice say: "Wife, go upstairs and knock on the door quickly. If you don't go, I'll shoot you dead."

Yes

What is this all for

My face turned slightly pale, and he immediately noticed it. He proudly raised his glass and drank the red wine, saying: "I don't want to break off the engagement with you just yet. Look, even Captain Du, who is with Ye Yujie, is unreliable. Uncle Ye must be very sad. If I were to break off the engagement with you as well, Uncle Lu would surely be very disappointed"

I can hear the sound of Lu Xingjiu's joints creaking as he stretches, and he says: "She is my fiancée, so what if she has been with someone else? I don't care whether she is a virgin or not, because I only intend to use her. So, put away your pretentious demeanor and get lost, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

What are you going to do

Qin Shiyue pinched my face and said with a hint of helplessness, "Why did you hold your breath when you heard me walk to the door? I have reason to suspect that you are either not in the room or have lost all signs of life"

"You should rest for now, and we will discuss the specific action plan tomorrow." I heard Qin Shiyue's footsteps at the staircase, hurriedly closing the door and pretending to sleep in bed. Qin Shiyue's footsteps stopped at the door; he opened it a crack, and the room was pitch dark. He tiptoed in and turned on the bedside lamp. I lay in bed with my eyes wide open, the sudden light making me uncomfortable as I turned my head to the side.

I was quickly pulled into the opposite booth. Through the door, I heard the sound of the door to the opposite booth opening, followed by a waiter asking, "Sir, what do you need?"

"What difference does it make?" I paused and laughed sarcastically: "That is certainly better than deception."

The spider shook its head and smiled: "I am not implying anything. You should know that you are the one who has an old engagement with Lu Xing. Even if you have a falling out with your family, this is an undeniable fact. Moreover, my boss, Qin Shiyue, is currently just following orders to come to Shanghai to find the whereabouts of that batch of arms. Once this matter is concluded, he will still return to France"

Is it true that Jin Ruyi was originally arranged by you to be beside Du Ai? The purpose was to deprive the Ye family of a solid support in the officialdom. What enmity exists between your family and ours? What exactly is your objective in doing this?

Qin Shiyue opened his mouth as if to speak but hesitated. He smiled and helped me adjust the blanket, saying: "Go to sleep quickly, don't worry so much"

Who is outside

"Do you not believe me?"

Lvxing's old fingers traced my face, and the voice was particularly cold: "There is nothing unworthy, it is just too much of a burden for her to be the daughter of Ye Guangrong."

What are you laughing at

The sound of a whistle echoed: "The wind is bleak and the waters of the Yi River are cold; a brave man departs and never returns! Zhang Xiaoqiang, before you concern yourself with the life and death of the nation, first take care of your own life and death!"

Some dissatisfied individuals muttered: "President, could you please refrain from calling us flashy donkey droppings? There are valuable news stories we cannot cover, as other organizations are seeking exclusives. We are just getting started, and of course, we face difficulties. There are already reports that the Japanese are about to occupy the Bund, so we won't have to worry about a lack of news to report at that time..."

"Why do you want me to go with Miss Ye? I have no experience! What if I mess up an important news story?" Zhang Xiaoqiang scratched his head in distress, saying, "President, are you deliberately trying to make me mess up so you can fire me?"

So shameless, yet I cannot resist

What next

Young master, do you have feelings for the second young lady...

The spider truly is a punctual assistant; the group of people chasing me did not dare to open fire for fear of injuring others. I ran until my lungs felt like they were about to burst, only to find a car blocking my way.

I sit on the rooftop, gazing at the men, women, young, and old coming and going on the road

I sighed, and Qiao comfortingly patted my shoulder. The news of the Japanese wanting to occupy the Bund has spread widely, and now China resembles a piece of succulent meat being devoured. In such a vibrant and prosperous Shanghai, they appear even more like starving wolves with green eyes.

Qin Shiyue brought me to the apartment, and then I pretended to wake up feeling dizzy. As he thought, I was very grateful that he saved me, but I still stubbornly said: "At most, I will treat you to a meal. However, I am currently poor, so I can only cook two dishes for you to accompany the drinks, and after eating, you can leave."

President Huang displayed a friendly expression and said, "Since you put it that way, if this interview goes awry, you should submit your resignation!"

My body was carried out by Qin Shiyue, while Lu Xingjiu calmly watched everything unfold. Qin Shiyue stuffed me into the car and suddenly turned her head to say: "Look, do we resemble your father and Uncle Ye?"

What is the reason for this again

"No, I drink tea." I pointed to the wicker table, on which there was freshly brewed green tea, emitting wisps of white steam: "Tea is good for the body and helps prevent cancer. That thing contains caffeine, which is not good for the nervous system."

"Go make two autumn outfits, as we have been frozen to the bone, and I will surely feel heartbroken about it." Qiao saw me standing under the tree in a daze, so he wrapped me tightly in his clothes. His clothes carried the scent of green tea, and in Qiao's embrace, I always felt safe. It was a Ye Bingqing brand specialized hotel, open twenty-four hours a day.

I am laughing, while you are just there looking in the mirror, and everyone on the bus is watching you. I pulled him off the bus. This is a place where prominent figures and high-ranking officials from the business world gather. My father has introduced many uncles and elders here, and if we were to run into any of them, they would definitely inform the Ye family. I wore a large sun hat, but unexpectedly, it attracted even more attention, which made me particularly frustrated

So you already knew about the matter between Jin Ruyi and Du Ai, why did you not intervene

"Leave immediately after you finish eating, and do not linger in my home with idle chatter; it is quite bothersome to hear. " I opened the door and coldly issued the eviction order: "I truly do not wish to see you again; please leave my life."

Very well, I think so too. However, before that, please return the little princess to me. We have lived together for so long, and our days have been so enjoyable. We went to the Bailemen for some fun, and during the brief moment when I greeted a friend, my sweetheart was taken away by you. Therefore, I ask you to return her to me

Zi Tao sighed and said, "The young lady is hiding in her room and refuses to see anyone. If she continues like this, it will affect her health and hurt her heart. I had the kitchen prepare some dishes and snacks that the second young lady usually enjoys. Neither the master nor the mistress knows that I came out, so I must return quickly and will come to see you again in a couple of days"

Your father and my father were good brothers in their youth. They made a pact that if they had children in the future, they would arrange a marriage for them by proxy

The surroundings were enveloped in a deathly silence, as if one could hear the distinct sound of a needle dropping.

Qin Shiyue glanced at her watch and said, "We can only gamble on whether the spider is on time." She pulled out a gun and fired a shot into the sky. The people inside heard the gunshot and looked out the window, seeing Qin Shiyue dragging me towards the front door. Suddenly, a voice shouted from behind, "Hurry, that's Miss Ye Er, capture her alive!"

As Qin Shiyue entered, he brushed off the ash from his clothes and said, "She is merely a maid from the Ye family, why should I hide?"

I glared at him resentfully and said, "For no reason! Go ahead, what is it?"

She sat on the side, sipping her coffee, and said: "This is merely a matter of mutual needs. I used to be a bodyguard, and now I am an assistant. Both professions require my mind to remain alert at all times. Even when I am sleeping, a very faint sound can wake me up instantly from my dreams. So it is not that I love coffee, but rather that I need it. In my world, there is no liking, only suitability." Even when I am sleeping, a very faint sound can wake me up instantly from my dreams. So it is not that I love coffee, but rather that I need it. In my world, there is no liking, only suitability.

I am not in any hurry. It is just that your major general father values face and insists on the importance of social status. Although I, Jin Ruyi, am not from a respectable family, I am still a clean woman who cannot be mistreated by others. I see that the arm cannot twist the thigh, and I have no expectations...

I bit my lip, feeling a chill in my heart: "Are you telling me that there is no love, only suitability? My feelings for Qin Shiyue are not enough; I am not suitable for him. I would only be a burden to him, wouldn't I?"

We arrived about half an hour earlier than the agreed time. Zhang Xiaoqiang, who had never been to such a place, was astonished and pointed at the women on stage performing the thigh dance, his eyes wide open like eggs: "Look at those ladies, how dare they wear such clothes, it's indecent! However, it is truly spectacular, I want to take a picture to show those clueless young reporters at the newspaper..."

"Qin Shi Yue, what exactly do you want to do?" Lu Xing Jiu straightforwardly stated, "Aside from matters concerning arms, I do not wish to have any involvement with you."

Zhang Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment, then jumped up in joy and shouted: "I took half a day off!" As soon as he finished speaking, he was already out the door

Very professional

The maple leaves have turned a deep red, falling in large clusters. The elderly women in the alley sweep them up to use as firewood. My shoulders are warm, while my calves remain cold

With this thought, his eyes became moist. He raised his head to look at the maple leaves, his face filled with smiles: "Qiao, how should I thank you?"

"Qin Shiyue, what exactly do you want from me? I am merely an unintended product of your plans, and you do not care about me at all." I pushed him away and gazed into his deep eyes: "On what grounds do you speak to me like this? On what grounds do you command me? How can I know that you are not just going to use me again? How can I trust you?"

Qin! Shi! Yue! Lu Xing gritted his teeth and said: "I will make your pride pay the price!"

Long time no see, Young Master Lu. The weather is so nice today, let's go have some tea! The voice of Qin Shiyue sounded from outside the car window, and he pretended to be surprised, saying, "Ah, why is Ye Bingqing in the car? Isn't she missing? Oh, I see, you Young Master Lu are planning to take the wandering little princess back to claim credit.

This is quite troublesome, as I have fallen right into the trap set by the old road star. When I return to the newspaper to confront Qiao about that reporter who was caught taking pictures, if he had known in advance, that article would certainly not have appeared in the Huanghua Morning Post. That young reporter must feel extremely wronged; it was clearly a good news story, yet the boss is so furious, which is somewhat baffling.

I exchanged a glance with Qin Shiyue, one filled with awkwardness and the other with playful intrigue

"You just need to know that." Qin Shiyue said with a smile, "However, you look much better when you smile. Just like before, when you would purse your lips, it was incredibly adorable."

Has Miss Er seen the Huanghua Morning Post? A photo of Master Du with a woman of ill repute entering the Bailemen has been published. I do not know what the newspaper is thinking; it seems they are deliberately trying to embarrass both our families. The Ye family has suffered a great loss of face; there are calls for the engagement to be called off. When I arrived, Master Du had already taken Du Ai to our home to apologize, but I do not know how that went. Master is so concerned about his reputation; everyone on the Shanghai Bund knows that the young lady's fiancé has been taken away by a woman of ill repute. If the engagement is not called off, where will the Ye family's dignity be placed?

I want to tomorrow

Through the quilt, I heard the rare gentle voice of Qin Shiyue: "You do not understand, if you are in danger, I will be unable to accomplish anything. You are my ticking time bomb, and I cannot allow anyone the possibility of detonating it."

You do not need to know. I still repeat the question from earlier: What exactly is the matter with you? If there is nothing, please leave.

"He is the employer of the underground detective agency, and no one knows who the employer is. In any case, your current situation is very dangerous, and you can only go to the place where Qin Shiyue and I live. I will protect you twenty-four hours a day." The Spider looked at Qin Shiyue through the rearview mirror and smiled, saying, "Boss, could you clean the lipstick off the corner of your mouth? It wouldn't be good if someone else saw it."

"Hey, I say, Miss Ye, what are you always laughing about?" Zhang Xiaoqiang excitedly asked as he adjusted his collar, "Look, do I look handsome like this? Isn't it very professional?"

Alright, I will entrust her care to you. In a few days, I will naturally find an opportunity to meet her

I angrily pushed him away and closed the door, feeling a sense of desolation within. I heard him linger at the door for a long time, and then the sound of the wooden stairs and his leather shoes gradually faded away. I quietly opened the door a crack, and a thin wisp of smoke filled the old corridor. Your approach towards me, as well as Lu Xingjiu's approach towards me, and Jin Ruyi's approach towards Du Ai, are all the same.

Lu Xing shrugged ambiguously: "Why should I stop? I have told you before, Jin Ruyi is not my woman. She is a very capable woman and does not belong to anyone."

What does the last sentence spoken by the moon during the Qin Dynasty mean? Lu Xingjiu's anger completely erupted because of that one sentence. Could it be that my father and Lu Dapang fell out over a woman?

The spider turned her head to the other side, pretending to admire the white doves flying above the distant church. This action could be seen as an implicit acknowledgment. She was an assistant to Qin Shiyue, but a woman's intuition is too sharp; the spider's feelings for Qin Shiyue were certainly not as simple as those of an assistant towards her boss. Even the most astute woman can become flustered when it comes to emotions, yet everything she said was also the truth. I would indeed only bring him trouble.

What I am most worried about now is that my father will personally come after seeing the report in the Huanghua Morning Post, demanding that you reveal the name of the informant. That person will be in trouble. If he comes, so be it; I am here, but I am still afraid of running into him.

Lu Xing leisurely poured a glass of red wine and said: "Say whatever you want, but as the saying goes, 'after searching high and low, one finds what they seek without effort.' My fiancée, you are truly hard to find. So, what will it be? Should I tie you up and take you back, or will you obediently come back with me?"

The spider smiled and waved at us, while that group of useless individuals, seeing us speeding through the street, cursed furiously. The spider said, "What you just did was too dangerous. If you had encountered someone like Sha Ye Bingqing who silences witnesses, you two might not be breathing right now."

It is truly a hardship for the young lady

Qin Shiyue squinted her beautiful eyes and suddenly leaned closer to my face, saying: "Have you fallen for another man so soon? You are not as steadfast as you claim!"
