Chapter Seven, May there be no obstacles in a lifetime

Legends may not necessarily be true, but once heard, they invariably inspire an uncontrollable yearning in one's heart

It is known that Sheng Shan, who is entangled in the complexities, agrees: "He is a person who distinguishes between public and private matters. If he believes you are capable, then you truly are."

Suddenly, a clear and melodious female voice cut through the crowd: "Change your clothes, Young Master Ye has prepared some for you in my room, come with me."

He kept bringing it up, and I almost couldn't catch my breath, the redness spreading to my ears: "Mr. Ye, I sincerely advise you, do not be too Korean in your conduct."

I felt as if I had been hit on the head with five million, completely disregarding the feelings of my current employer, nodding like a chick pecking at rice: "I will definitely go if I have the chance!"

Considering the clothes to be impractical, and having left the small town to return to Bincheng, there wasn't much time to wear them. Cheng Gai Gai pouted slightly, and before she could utter a word of resignation, Ye Shen Xun preemptively asked for the price: "How much?" "Three hundred and eighty." "The workmanship is worth at most one hundred and eighty." "This is not just the store's cost..." Cheng Gai Gai was left in awe.

Having witnessed Ye Shenxun's decisiveness in meetings several times, I find it quite difficult to associate him with the person who is more passive in "Alright". On the other hand, holding dual identities as both a participant and an observer, I am particularly concerned about Zhou Yin's actions.

Ye Shenxun seemed quite astonished, astonished that Ye Shenxing actually possessed complete memories and could fully express his emotions. Since the accident occurred, his younger brother had been living more cautiously than the turtle in the pond, hardly speaking even to himself, no matter how hard he tried.

The two individuals did not appear to have just met, yet Ye Shenxun stood at the doorway with restraint and courtesy, not stepping inside even a half-step, with his arms crossed, jokingly saying: "That is because the person who dressed her is exceptionally skilled."

I have awakened from my dream and finally understood the expression on Xianran's face as she watched the show with anticipation

What is this, is it destined for me to have a life full of hardships? Angrily throwing down!

The midnight in the village is lively. This liveliness is different from the bright lights of the city; it is a gift from nature. A gust of wind passes by, the leaves rustle, the stream gurgles, and the calls of unknown birds create a unique melody

Miss Jie does not seem to dislike you. With your proposal, she should be eager to accept, so how could she refuse

What should we do then

Certainly, the tiger should have no interest in me

Then I will announce to the world that you are the one who seduced me

Ye Shenxun should also be a practitioner; even when I pushed him hard, he remained unmoved, folding his arms and saying: "I am the one who should be investigating what has gone missing from the room, right?"

The girl grew up following her mother. When her mother fell in love with Jie Mingdong, she was unaware that he was already engaged. After the truth was revealed, she remained stubborn, keeping her pregnancy a secret from everyone, and ran far away, cutting off all contact with anyone, giving birth to the child.

Xiao Zhang: "How can it not be done! I can do anything!"

Willing to give up

He ignored my heartfelt calls, ruthlessly swatting my head aside, telling me not to block his view, as he wanted to watch the scene of the boss and his ex-girlfriend in a heated confrontation

When I had just moved in, I foolishly asked her how she managed to apply for the apartment, as higher-end dormitories in universities are generally reserved for international students. "This should be a standard feature for international friends," I said. She looked at me with disdain, as if I were a country bumpkin, and replied, "What friends? It's all about having money." Her response was so blunt that I was left speechless.

The plot of this story resembles my relationship with Wei Guangyin. Years ago, in a fleeting moment of tranquility, someone took root deep in my heart. I have toiled for many years, enduring countless hardships willingly, just to catch a glimpse of him. Finally, I met him, yet he still bid me farewell with an air of indifference.

He entered Ye Shenxun's office carrying a bag of something. What is it? How would I know! Should I inquire? I ... ... Hello? Hello!

Catch the loach

As I walked to the center of the lotus field and looked around, I saw a throng of people, much more lively than yesterday, with both adults and children screaming in excitement or calling out. I stopped a passerby and asked, "What are they doing..." "Oh, they are catching loaches!"

Then you are too timid

Ultimately, no matter how much knowledge one possesses, the mind still remains at the age of wanting candy. Upon hearing my refusal, Ye Shenxing's expression darkened as if a storm was approaching, and he immediately fell silent, no longer speaking, tightly clutching the Transformers model and retreating into his own little shell.

As a daughter of a prominent family, each of us possesses our own unique beauty, and even our haughty temperaments are similar, making mutual dislike quite normal, after all, it is a case of "king does not meet king." At this moment, upon seeing Peiyang, I rushed towards him as if he were the only living relative I had: "Pah, I almost didn't get to see you..."

The man shot me a glance, slowly walked to the driver's seat, and effortlessly started the engine.

Hearing his voice, I felt an odd sense of calm, slowly opening the door a crack to catch a glimpse of his chiseled jawline

Since the recent encounter, regardless of how Sheng Shan perceives it, I feel that we have already developed a bond of life and death. Therefore, I seriously considered her words: "In fact, I have an interest in languages, whether it be Chinese or others. Since you all unanimously believe this is a good choice, then let's... proceed this way."

The wooden board above my head suddenly shook. I looked up and found that Ye Shenxun had also woken up, leaning against the railing on the second floor and beckoning to me with his finger. In retrospect, it was quite naive of me to have never considered the possibility of walking into a tiger's den.

That one is not available either

In my memory, Ye Shenxun has never praised me. After gradually discovering the simple and unadorned light beauty here, he finally spoke up: "It seems that sometimes a fool can also stumble upon a path." I thanked him

She unconsciously put the mango-flavored rabbit ear into her mouth, looking extremely pleased.

Peiyang was sent away, and Ye Shenxun personally drove, showing more restraint than expected. Sheng Shan gazed out the window, lost in thought about someone unknown to me, while I was squeezed by two currents of low pressure, remaining silent for a while.

Is it really that difficult to acknowledge that I have some charm

Then you will need to cultivate for five hundred years just to see him once. You won't regret it, will you

I did not expect this answer. Do highly intelligent individuals have more acute senses than the average person? I do not envy Sheng Shan's background, but I do feel a bit envious of her dual intelligence.

Jieming Dong wore a joyful expression as he introduced the poised Jieling to everyone, even calling Jieran up to have the two of them portray a deep sisterly bond. In the end, he fixed his gaze on a certain point in the crowd and said: "In fact, there is another piece of good news to announce today. My daughter Jieling will be engaged to the second young master of the Zhou family. I have watched this child, Zhou Yin, grow up since he was little, and I genuinely like him. As everyone knows, the Jie and Zhou families have had a close relationship for many years..."

Thinking of this, I became even more enraged and immediately opened my computer to type furiously. He leisurely sauntered up behind me and asked, "What are you doing? Posting online to insult me?"

"She is still staying in the dormitory, isn't that unreliable?" The remark was directed at Ye Shenxun.

The old leader did not appear this time, as his identity is sensitive. His son has caused a scandal, which publicly reflects poorly on him. However, in private, he is merely an elderly man, approaching a century, who wishes for all his family to be by his side in his final moments. This is why he initially allowed Ye Shenxun to inquire about the whereabouts of Jie Ling.

... ...

The pavilion by the water enjoys the moonlight first

Indeed, clearly only five or six years older than me, yet they make themselves seem like a complete fool, making it difficult for others to approach them

A quarter of an hour later, Sheng Shan symbolically knocked on my room door, asking me to come out. As soon as I arrived in the living room, I saw her handing me a few homemade rabbit ear popsicles.

What happened to the promised restraint

Ye Shenxun raised the corners of his narrow eyes and said, "What you can do, others cannot."

I do not know what I did in my past life to wrong Ye Shenxun, perhaps I killed his entire family

The rumors in this circle change too quickly; in the next moment, Jie Ling was brought into the crowd by Jie Mingdong to make an appearance, and my status as the center of attention seems like a matter from a past life

Seeing that I could not go against it, I chose to adopt a roundabout strategy, intending to wait until he took me back to school before making another trip to the town. However, I did not expect Ye Shenxun to see through my little scheme and directly pull me along to understand the family.

It is truly inhumane! I had no choice but to turn around and watch with him

I bit my lip, almost ready to betray Zhou Yin and spill his secrets, but Sheng Shan interjected: "In fact, it is not as serious as you imagine. Shock is inevitable, but I had anticipated this day. In families like ours, there are too many things beyond our control. I understood this principle from a very young age. For the sake of so-called public glory, we must sacrifice many things. However, as long as we are clear in our hearts that among those things we can sacrifice, he is definitely not included, that is enough."

Are you living well on Earth

He hurriedly walked past the stone bridge. Of course, the man did not notice a stone that was staring at him intently. The two merely crossed paths in haste, and the man disappeared once again

Oh, if I heard correctly, the final "you" he uttered had a lingering tone of melancholy, leaving me quite astonished

Even Ye Shenxun slightly bent down and followed into the store, glancing at the long skirt and saying, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do"

Moreover, Miss Jie has many connections; if she discovers that I am following you two on your trip, even Sheng Shan might not be able to protect me

I turned my gaze towards the sound and saw a graceful young woman approaching.

Ye Shenxun is a materialist and does not believe in such things. I want him to step forward, but he refuses, saying it would make him look particularly foolish. Simple-minded like Ye Shenxing, he does not care about that and eagerly pushes him towards me, saying, "Big brother, take a step with Chengcheng." The man inexplicably lowers his head and focuses intently on me for a moment. My face burns with embarrassment, and I dare not meet his gaze, hastily stepping out and nearly stumbling.

Ye Shenxun gazed at me through the mirror, capturing my attention with his eyes. Suddenly, he smiled and spoke in a deliberately indulgent tone: "Silly girl, daughters are meant to be pampered. Aren't you happy?"

I heard that last night, I was tipsy and hugged the balcony pillar as if it were a pole, even asking Ye Shenxun if I looked good. I was unwilling to believe this fact and, feeling embarrassed and angry, I drove the two of them out: "Do you know that barging into someone else's room like this is very rude?! What if something gets lost? You would be to blame!"

Before she left, she mentioned that she needed to return to the Sheng family to fetch some items. I harbored a secret in my heart and dared not meet her beautiful eyes directly, so I quickly retreated into the room, pretending to be busy with many tasks. Fortunately, she was occupied with something in the kitchen and did not have the time to delve deeper.

After a long flight, the youthful boy with a clear complexion was filled with fatigue. Upon discovering this peculiar way of greeting, the boy's expression instantly transformed into one of great enthusiasm. He tossed the model in his hand into Peiyang's arms and was about to imitate Optimus Prime's transformation to respond to me

Ye Shenxun paused his hand that was holding the wine cup and retorted, "If I knew, would I still fail?" It seemed to make some sense

"No way? They look quite clever, but this outfit is..."

No wonder, when I first met her, I always felt that her makeup and the way she walked were very proper. In contrast, I felt like a market aunt.

I initially thought Zhou Yin would be angry, and I felt a bit flustered and wanted to apologize. However, to my surprise, he gently lowered his gaze and made a gesture for silence, indicating that I should keep it a secret from Sheng Shan

I am holding a stack of books, carrying a bag of toiletries on my shoulder, and there are two large suitcases piled at my feet, with my innocent eyes blinking: "What are we exploring?"

In the private equity sector, there are currently no particularly well-established enterprises in the country, and Shen Zhou is indeed one of the outstanding players. Setting aside the influence of the Ye family, Ye Shenxun himself is a highly talented graduate in financial law, and he is also friends with many people on Wall Street. Any data or fluctuations in enterprises cannot escape his notice

At the moment of deep emotion, I could no longer control myself and gave Sheng Shan a bear hug, completely disregarding how much speculation our embrace on the busy street would provoke among the two elegantly dressed girls. I just wanted to convey through my actions that it doesn't matter; even if you were to eat shit, I would still find that posture more graceful than anyone else's.

The annual loud voice competition has begun again, when a weak voice from the passenger seat suddenly asked: "Does Chengcheng usually wear Langsha socks?"

I heard she is the lover of Young Master Ye

Ye Shenxun, you have gone too far

Suddenly being praised, I tightened my grip even more, until I heard a noise at the door, only to realize she was not speaking to me, but to Ye Shenxun

I, who have been reduced to nothing, immediately felt that being compared to the radiant Sheng Shan was an insult. In this situation, I clearly should leave, yet my steps felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. Wouldn't it be even more humiliating to flee in such a manner

Who would have thought that this group of people, out of boredom, began to spread rumors? I navigated through the crowd amidst heavy discussions, and halfway through, I tugged at the corner of the clothing of the person in front of me, hoping he could come up with a way to explain, even if it meant saying that I was his assistant

Recently, Shen Zhou has been busy with a case involving a Korean factory. This time, the competitors seem to be quite formidable, as during my visits two or three times a week, I have seen Xia Li personally involved, meticulously scrutinizing each word. It is said that there is a strict directive from above to ensure the most precise cooperation blueprint is produced

Who has the United States offended or provoked

This is not the most frustrating part. The more shocking revelation is that the instigator leisurely pushed the door open, leaving a lingering echo.

It should be ... ... shaving lotion

How could one mind giving? In moments when you are good to him, you are also happy yourself

On the plane, Ye Shenxun closed his eyes to rest, while I spent the entire time dealing with Ye Shenxing's endless questions. The small town does not have an airport, so we had to land in a nearby large city.

Is that orange going too

It is said that the owner of the guesthouse has the surname Su, and their ancestors can be traced back to the Song Dynasty. The family's scholarly heritage is reflected in the trained staff and the details of their hospitality. No matter how late one wakes up in the morning, the guesthouse will prepare breakfast, which mostly consists of local specialties such as lotus leaf porridge, lotus leaf sticky rice chicken, and lotus leaf spare ribs

There are flavors of watermelon, mango, and orange; tell me which one is the most delicious

Mentioning that person, the young girl's eyes seemed to be stirred, sparkling continuously: "Just at the venue, I said to Xie Ran, the person I have chosen, even if they are like excrement, I would still smile and consume them. There is another sentence I did not finish. The person I love, even if it hurts, I will continue to love them."

The intentional scrutiny in Sheng Shan's eyes was easily seen through. Little did she expect that Jie Ran, despite being older, lacked wisdom and was truly provoked. Approaching with a forced smile that did not reach her eyes, she spoke in a sarcastic tone: "It is often said that birds of a feather flock together. Shan Shan, after all, we have grown up together as companions. I advise you to be cautious in choosing your friends and not to let your guard down too much."

From that day on, a decision took deep root in my heart: I will absolutely never seek a boyfriend who loves to eat KFC, for fear that we would break up in just three days

Sheng Shan behaved unusually, neither crying nor making a fuss. Calmly finishing the champagne in hand, he turned and walked out of the venue, leaving the crowd with a solitary figure. I instinctively followed him.

As for Sheng Shan, nothing was said. After all, apart from Zhou Yin, she cares for no one else. It is truly heart-wrenching; once Cheng Suiwan leaves, I will have lost even the confidant with whom I could share my thoughts.

On the way back, Ye Shenxing sat in the passenger seat, his gaze drawn to the peculiar sunny doll: "What is this?"

The man quietly observed for a moment, then suddenly lowered his eyes and softly replied, "It is quite good-looking," he said

I have been discovered, how embarrassing

At that moment, the other two men in black saw me running away, and Liu Dazhuang and Xiao He also broke free, plunging the scene into chaos. I, being useless, wanted to run and call for security, but Sheng Shan angrily said, "If they dare to grab you here, it means no one here dares to do anything to them!" The implication was that it would be futile to go, and I immediately felt utterly disheartened

I felt as if I were on the verge of uncovering a great secret, completely engrossed in the moment, when the office door swung open, and I found myself exchanging glances with the person involved

On the day of the incident, Ye Shenxun and Xie Ran seemed to have discussed something, and when they reappeared, they looked somewhat gloomy. It was not surprising; when enemies meet, they are particularly hostile. Even more hostile than enemies are old lovers.

"Could the male protagonists of novels tell me, you are the most disdainful of such fast food."

I learned from Sheng Shan that Jie Ran has indeed been too busy to pay attention to someone like me, as the Jie family has welcomed back a young lady—Jie Ran's half-sister.

Ye Shenxun understood his meaning. Currently, Shen Zhou is busy with a case that not only requires financial support but also needs to establish connections at other critical points. Over the years, the four prominent families of Ye, Zhou, Wei, and Xie have thrived due to the interconnections of money and interests. Now, with Old Master Xie still in a high position and Xie Mingdong being a notable figure in the industry, maintaining face is essential.

She did not immediately question me about why I was here, nor about my presence with Ye Shenxun, but only cast a glance that seemed to say, "I will interrogate you again when we return." I had no time to explain, as Jie Ran had already slowly descended the stairs, her gaze fixed firmly on me, while the instigator had vanished to an unknown location, along with Zhou Yin.

As long as he has not gone to the civil affairs bureau to register with Ling, he has not personally told me: Sheng Shan, don't wait for me anymore, you have been sentenced to death. As long as the person I like has not personally asked me to give up, I will not lose heart

Liu Dazhuang: "Even if she slaps someone, there are still those who are willing to be slapped."

Having arrived at the destination after noon, Ye Shenxun got off the car, lit a cigarette to relieve his fatigue, and estimated that he had never experienced such a tiring journey. Ye Shenxing pulled me around to visit various old shops here, expressing great satisfaction with them.

The fight had already ceased, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he led me through the throng of Liu Dazhuang and others, as well as all the onlookers, until a young woman approached gracefully from a distance, tentatively calling out to him: "Shen Xun?"

Crossing the ridge, I had not walked far before catching a glimpse of the lotus leaf pond. As noon approached, the locals came out to enjoy the coolness, and an elderly man with white hair was telling stories, with several teenagers squatting in front of him. I leaned in to listen, and the story had just begun.

The boss has a keen eye, as he takes the clothes while encouraging Cheng Gaigai, who is still in a daze: "Give it a try, give it a try; if it doesn't fit, there are other styles and sizes available."

My heart is very tired

Once this statement was made, it caused an uproar in the office, even greater than the power of the Heavenly Sword, making me the target of everyone's criticism

Qi Yueying smiled, and the subtle wrinkles at the corners of her eyes did not detract much from her appearance; rather, they added a touch of worldly charm. Half-jokingly, she said: "I remember you; I was also present at that summit. The young girl showed remarkable courage. In the future, Young Master Ye won't be able to keep you; come to Wei's and find me."

On that day, Zhou Yin did not come; instead, it was Ye Shenxun who arrived

Slippery and swift, just a glance sends chills down the spine, akin to encountering a snake, yet unexpectedly, Ye Shenxun and Ye Shenxing took an interest.

In the end, I turned back to explain to the person behind me: "I truly am not saying this just to sell clothes..."

In an instant, the expression of surprise on the young man's face was replaced by softness. The glimmering light in his eyes flickered bit by bit, then shattered piece by piece, and finally coalesced, sliding into the depths of his heart

Sheng Shan held a spoon, laughing uncontrollably on the sofa: "Are you out of your mind, Cheng Gai Gai? Talking about guilt in this circle? Talking about paternal love?" I suddenly began to understand why Ye Shenxun regarded Bincheng as a den of tigers and wolves. It seemed that none of them were good people. However, the secrets of the wealthy had nothing to do with me; I just thought that without the excuse of understanding Ran, I had no reason to refuse Ye Shenxing's invitation to go to Huizhou

At sunset, leaning against the bamboo railing, the boy timidly turned his head back, gazing at his brother behind him, who stood as immovable as a mountain, his eyes as clear as a stream. "This seems like a place we passed by a long time ago when Mother took us here by chance. At that time, Brother wanted to stay, but Mother wouldn't allow it, and you ran off by yourself. No one could find you, and in the end, it was under the big banyan tree where you took me to catch crickets that I found you, it was I who found you."

Upon opening my eyes again, I discovered that the two brothers were each pulling a suitcase, staring at me sprawled out on the bed.

On a dark and windy night, while engaging in heartfelt conversations and gossip, I could no longer contain the question that had been hidden in my heart for a long time.

I suddenly felt someone bump into me and asked, "Zhou Yin said, do you know about Ye Shenxun recognizing the bed?"

In comparison, Ye Shenxing prefers the atmosphere here. There are no bodyguards on high alert, no coldness and indifference of steel and concrete. There is only the warmth of human life, with people working at sunrise and returning at sunset, along with the one he loves

Fearing that I might act impulsively and run over, Ye Shenxun insisted on having me by his side, under the pretext of taking me to see the world. As a result, Zhou Yin teased, "At least get her some decent clothes; this white T-shirt and jeans make it look like you had a daughter out there without anyone knowing."

As the scene descended into chaos, I was still unaware of what had transpired, while Liu Dazhuang and Xiao He had already engaged in a confrontation with the man in the black suit who had just entered.

Ye Shenxun, anxious to protect his younger brother, said he would approve my leave and wanted me to accompany him. Although I couldn't bear to see Ye Shenxing's disappointed expression, I replied, "However, I still have classes at school. Taking such a long leave, my advisor would not agree. Moreover,"

The person opposite smiled brightly and said: "Zhou Yin."

I haven't eaten anything all day, feeling utterly famished, I rushed into a KFC and refused to leave, ordering a family bucket.

Xiao Gui: "What exactly can she do that we cannot?"

One day after work, I ran into Zhou Yin at the entrance, and he kindly offered to give me a ride back to school. Out of curiosity, I asked him how he knew that the troublemaker was Xie Ran. He smiled slightly and said, "Having grown up together, I understand his ways of doing things. When I learned that you and Shen Xun went to the United States and didn't stay in a hotel, I guessed this day would come."

The bowl of rice smelled delicious, and I was eating with great enjoyment, intermittently asking him: "What kind of meat is this? It doesn't taste like pork, nor is it beef, but it is quite tasty." He stood with his hands behind his back, confidently stating: "It's eel meat."

Ye Shenxun seemed somewhat troubled, furrowing his brow: "It has already been dealt with; after all, they are from the Jie family, one should leave a way out when doing things." The man spoke in a cold tone, half-smiling: "As an illegitimate child, to whom do I need to leave that way out?"

The girl's depression has slightly eased, and while pretending not to like it, she enters the fitting room while helping to negotiate the price: "I can only wear it once or twice in the whole year during autumn, and there are similar styles available online, probably cheaper than 180."

During the waiting period, Ye Shenxun felt utterly bored. Fortunately, he had brought along Cheng Gaigai; the two of them being bored together was certainly better than being alone.

The finance department does not recognize this account

"Would you be willing to give up everything you currently have, including your loving family and happy life?"

I selected the bright red one, just as I was about to take a bite, I suddenly realized: "So, am I supposed to eat it all?" She blinked her long eyelashes and replied: "What else would you do?"

Elder brother! There is no one over there, hurry up, hurry up!

The dress is the one that Ye Shenxun buried: "Just consider it a compensation, after all, the flight ticket you booked incorrectly will definitely not be reimbursed by the finance department"

Upon returning to the student dormitory that day, Sheng Shan was surprisingly also present

The corridor was filled with a kaleidoscope of colors, and the restroom had a window through which light streamed in, barely illuminating the handsome profile of the man. I found myself somewhat dazed as he casually grabbed the collar of my shirt and lifted me up like a duck, leading me outside.

Faced with overly enthusiastic individuals, Cheng Gaigai never had the heart to refuse, feeling a tingling sensation as she entered the fitting room. Upon her reappearance, Ye Shenxing was the first to applaud: "Beautiful!"

The summer in the village seems to arrive later than the outside world, with the incessant chirping of cicadas. The boy smiles, his shallow dimples tinted by the evening sunlight, appearing somewhat proud: "At that time, I thought, no matter how unhappy I might be in the future, I must never walk with my head down. Because only by lifting my head can I find my elder brother anywhere, and that way, my unhappiness will be greatly reduced"

He didn't mention it, and I almost forgot. At that time, due to a series of misunderstandings, I was taken to the police station by Ye Shenxun, and I personally sent this cursed doll to him.

She indeed recognized me, but: "I am not his favorite..."

Could it be that she is the girlfriend of Ye Shenxun, as rumored—Xie Ran

The highway was nearly empty at night, and Ye Shenxun accelerated. In a moment of distraction, I recalled a travel channel I had watched recently, which featured a small town in Huizhou, nestled between mountains and water, with three streets and ninety-nine alleys, distinct in its characteristics, and recognized as the most well-preserved ancient village from the Ming Dynasty. Thus, I eagerly recommended it to the two of them.

The girls in their dormitory are particularly adept at reading the room. During the first gathering, they insisted on bringing along Miss Sheng from the Sheng family. Sheng Shan does not enjoy mingling with unfamiliar people, and not wanting to be criticized on the very first day, she had no choice but to make a brief appearance before leaving.

After the fact, upon learning that I was regarded as a rival in love by Jie Ran, Liu Dazhuang was envious to the core, wishing he could immediately run to Ye Shenxun to seek his favor.

Just like the young boys and girls experiencing puppy love in school, encountering each other's mother while shopping together leaves them momentarily stunned, unsure of how to react. Should they call her "Auntie" first? Or should they introduce themselves first? The conflict leaves them tense all over. Moreover, this woman named Qi Yueying truly exudes elegance, making me speculate endlessly. Could it be that Wei Guangyin's calm and composed spirit at all times is inherited from her? She is certainly not the demeanor of a market aunt!

Another black suit? One is not enough, so here come two. Two are not enough, so here comes another to make up the count

That night was uneventful; the two brothers did not cause any trouble and went to bed early after washing up. The next morning, the energetic Ye Shenxing woke up, eager to see the scenery of the ancient village, and forcibly roused me to catch the bus to the town.

After coming down from the mountain, Ye Shenxing and I were utterly exhausted, having skipped dinner and gone straight to bed. In the middle of the night, feeling cold, I groggily woke up and discovered that the window was left open. Looking up, I saw the moon, large and round, and instantly lost all sense of sleepiness

Sheng Shan fluttered her eyelashes, downing the champagne in her hand with a boldness reminiscent of a heroine from a martial arts novel: "So, does that mean my perspective differs from Sister Jie? You tend to categorize people based on their birth status and social rank, while I have always only cared about whether one is happy or not. I do not easily acknowledge anyone, but once I do, even if she is like excrement, I will smile and consume it."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper's expression brightened even more: "Look, how beautiful it is! This outfit has been hanging in my store for a long time. Many girls have taken a liking to it at first glance and have tried it on, but their heights and body types always seemed to miss the mark. This girl puts it on, and she is simply its rightful owner"

The sight of a young man driving with one hand on the steering wheel involuntarily reminded me of Professor Wei Guangyin and Liu Dazhuang driving. For a moment, I was lost in thought, and when I came to my senses, I heard Sheng Shan's concluding words: "You pack your things and come live in the campus apartment with me"

Your elder brother does not have time to take care of you in the country; after this trip, you must return to Philadelphia

After a while, he compromised, his tone carrying a softness he was not even aware of: "Someone will naturally go to look for it over there, and it will be sent back to Bincheng when the time comes. Rest assured, I still have this capability."

At first, I thought the lotus flower wine had a low alcohol content, but when I woke up, I was already in my own room. Ye Shenxing clapped his hands to wake me up and said, "Cheng Cheng, get up, it's time to go home."

Who is she

However, the way you sleep is so funny, hahaha... Ye Shenxing, not yet understanding the subtleties of expression, blurted it out

She spoke decisively, her posture unwavering. Such a vulgar metaphor made me feel like crying.

"Rest assured," he said, "Jie Ran has not had time to clean up after you recently"

Cheng Gaigai is very depressed

He leaned back slightly, beckoning me to come closer with his fingers. My long hair brushed against the table, and I suddenly felt a chill on my cheek, as the scent of mint filled my nostrils

In the past few days, I took some time to read some workplace motivational articles, among which the piece titled "Learning to Say No, Even to Your Boss" resonated deeply with me. It thoroughly analyzes the mindset of bosses and presents methods on how to say no in a way that is more easily accepted. I applied what I learned and immediately responded to him with a professional and serious demeanor: "Sister Xia Li's case seems more urgent, so I will help her finish it first. If time is tight, you can ask Xiao Zhang or..."

Ye Shenxun did not seem surprised by the other person's appearance; rather, Sheng Shan, regaining her composure, approached with a sharp tongue and said, "I was wondering who was so bold, turns out it's Miss Xie."

The best love I can give you is to let go

I was furious and turned to leave, only to bump into Sheng Shan, who was dressed elegantly for the occasion

Shanshan, long time no see

Zhou Yin chose not to respond to Sheng Shan, and she must have her own reasons for that. Therefore, I could only subtly remind her: "Have you ever considered? Perhaps... his heart has long sensed your presence?"

The students in their computer science department can be incredibly boring when they have nothing to do, spending all day in front of their computers. When they are busy, it is equally exhausting, still glued to their screens. If I were to suddenly rush out and tell him that I want to travel with Ye Shenxun, Liu Dazhuang would surely spread the news far and wide, as he would finally find joy in life, gossiping about it!

The company's name is "Shen Zhou". I once criticized it for lacking originality, but then I realized that "Shen Zhou" not only incorporates the characters of the two individuals but also carries other meanings—"Shenzhou", which sounds quite ambitious

What cannot be found does not belong to you

At that time, I was too young to understand that liking someone sometimes requires restraint. I thought that all feelings in the world were like my affection for Wei Guangyin. If he needed it, if he was willing, I would find a way to be by his side, even if the weather was cold and the journey was long.

This is not America

It is said that Ye Shenxing's intellectual state, due to an accident, has forever remained at the age of eight or nine, so he does not understand the entanglements and grievances among adults. He only knows that every decision made by Ye Shenxun is correct, and thus he obediently nods his head.

I did not pay attention to the words that followed, but was astonished as I cast my gaze towards Zhou Yin beside me. However, he had already evaded my inquiry and walked straight onto the stage, tacitly accepting the reality.

What cannot be found does not belong to you

Do you feel guilty? Initially, I couldn't face the other person, and later learned that the child's mother had passed away from a serious illness. Naturally, I wanted to stay by her side to make up for the years of paternal love I owed her

I no longer care about any young masters or bosses, and I erupted on the spot: "Do you know that when I get angry, even I am afraid of myself!"

However, it is indeed strange that with Jian Mingdong's capabilities, he could be completely unaware of this child. It is only now that he thinks of bringing him back, and one wonders what calculations he is making.

Afterwards, the young girl searched everywhere for this person, but the young man seemed to have evaporated from the world, never to appear again. In her solitude, she prayed to the Buddha morning and evening, hoping to see that man again, and her sincere devotion moved the Buddha to manifest.

Sheng Shan might sense my mental state and disdainfully push me away a bit, his brows furrowing even tighter: "Cheng Gai Gai, just how much perfume did you spray?"

However, before the beautiful dream was completed, the deafening applause pulled me back to reality

I am filled with sorrow. Young love blooms silently like a profusion of flowers, yet it always has its time of withering. He only held her once, but she longed to be held for a lifetime. He read a letter for me, yet I would willingly learn to read and write for him. Fortunately, Sheng Shan is braver than I am. As time passes and circumstances change, in the depths of memory, one may not necessarily feel regret.

During a personal activity, I eagerly ran to request the boatman to take me for a ride. As soon as I boarded the boat, it took me a while to adapt to the gentle flow of the water and find my balance. When I looked up again, I saw smoke rising in the distance, a house, two boat bows, and three acres of greenery. I imagined my beloved youth riding from afar, and I could not wait to rush to him, offering the sweetest well water.

You are just right, have you considered my stomach? It is like a black hole, crying.

He seemed oblivious, continuing to reach out after I broke free. I am the kind of person who takes advantage of others' weaknesses; he had softened, and I had to seize this opportunity to be more arrogant: "Don't you understand? I told you to let go, don't touch me!"

Isn't that Wei Guangyin's mother? Suddenly, my heart began to race like a drum.

Please, people say your ex-girlfriend is quite particular, at least you should express some displeasure, yet what I feel from you is contentment... Until I, with my family and luggage in tow, bravely made my way to the Sheng family, and her first words were: "Cheng Gaigai, congratulations on your promotion to the first spy of the Sheng family starting today."

Bored and waiting for the ceremony to end, Zhou Yin suddenly leaned down to Ye Shenxun's ear and said, "Qi Yueying has also arrived." It was rare to see Ye Shenxun look someone in the eye for more than three seconds. I happened to glance in that direction as well and saw a woman in her forties, still possessing charm, dressed in a knee-length iron gray skirt, with a small circle of Su embroidery at the elbows, classic yet not outdated. Not far from the woman were two bodyguards in black, exuding an aura that clearly conveyed the message: "No entry for strangers."

At the entrance of the village, there is a threshold known as the Peaceful Threshold. Men step over it with their left foot, while women step over it with their right foot. According to legend, once one crosses it, they will live a life free of obstacles.

In the eyes of a child, black is black, and white is white; they do not yet understand the concept of lying. The girl looked at the person in the mirror with two glances, seemingly satisfied, with a hint of a graceful and demure demeanor.

Just then, a busybody floated past Zhou Yin, and upon hearing the words "daughter," immediately gathered to gossip: "Hey, look, standing next to the young master of the Ye family is actually his daughter!"

I secretly sigh with relief that there are no such enemies; both practical combat and psychological warfare are solid. How to play this game

Caught off guard, the boy turned sideways and looked back at me with an expression full of anticipation

This feeling is different from the past when I watched Wei Guangyin fall asleep. That night was filled with thunder and rain, and we were both terrified, everything was in chaos. The young boy placed his complete trust in me, regarding me as his only reliance. At that time, my mood was not one of appreciation, but solely of contentment.

He saw me with my head down and casually asked, "Are you scared?"

For a moment, she rummaged through the wardrobe and pulled out a long dress without a tag. She held it up to me and asked, "This is not a big brand, but rather my latest design. There should be only one in the whole world. If you don't mind, shall we go with this one?" This confirmed my suspicion

The white A-line skirt features a layer of light pink at the hem and small sequins shaped like peacock feathers, making it suitable for a fashion show without any embarrassment

His deliberately dissipated words and actions still could not stop something from striking my heart, leaving my face flushed with embarrassment. Fortunately, Jie Ling glanced at the time: "It's about time, shall we go down?" This relieved my awkwardness

Passing by an ethnic clothing store at the foot of the mountain, Ye Shenxing eagerly pulled Cheng Gaigai inside, pointing at a blue floral long dress and saying: "Cheng Cheng should wear this, it looks beautiful"

I did not expect that this self-important young woman, in the face of love, is just like all of us ordinary girls, willingly becoming a wildflower that is yet to bloom, simply to wait for the spring breeze

Once, Sheng Shan spoke to me about her grievances with Wei Guangyin, with a calm demeanor, yet she hesitated to finish the story. That evening, she revisited the past, as if sharing the grandest secret with me, and the entire world seemed to sink beneath the weight of her gaze

Xiao Wu: "What exactly is the background of that intern?"

In this matter, I concealed it from everyone, including Liu Dazhuang and Xiao He

Since having that meal with Zhou Yin, I have developed a shadow over gatherings, so I propose changing the activity: "How about going to KTV instead?"

He said

My kiss is destined to never reach the one I love the most

I have not yet decided whether to tell him that Cheng Suiwan's beloved is Wei Guangyin. Naturally, I feel a bit guilty in my heart, so I resolutely said: "I made a small profit this time in the United States, let me treat you!"

Upon receiving the command, I hurriedly hid in the nearby women's restroom, locked the door, and tremblingly found Zhou Yin's number to call. He seemed to be busy and took a long time to answer. After listening to the whole story, he inexplicably sighed, "So it has indeed come."

Ye Shenxun did not wish to listen; he raised his hand to stop his incessant chatter. Cheng Gaigai, however, heeded her boss's words and ran out in a new long dress, smiling brightly, with a hint of her small canine tooth visible on the right side. The girl's features were not particularly delicate, yet the large expanse of blue she wore made her stand out vibrantly.

Perhaps my prayers have been heard by the heavens, or perhaps I borrowed the light of Ye Shenxun, as the other party unexpectedly took the initiative to step forward and raised a glass in greeting. Ye Shenxun exchanged a few pleasantries with her, mostly about work-related matters. In the back-and-forth, amidst the subtle exchanges, I gathered that this time, Shen Zhou's opponent is the Wei family, and that the project for the Korean factory is under the responsibility of Qi Yueying. I had heard Zhou Yin mention before that Qi Yueying is a more formidable character than Wei Guangyin's father.

"Okay" is also a dating venue for two people. "I lack money to spend"

Ye Shenxun noticed me peering curiously at the gray packaging bag on the table, his eyes narrowing slightly: "Are you curious about what he has?" I nodded incessantly like a pug, enjoying the interaction with such an intelligent person

Yes, even just a glance would be fine

But not long after, I slapped my own face again

Did she get hurt? The inquiry was almost a reflex.

Is it an illusion? Lying in the corner, I seem to hear a sigh that once echoed in the quiet of the car. Listening closely, it is again the voice of Ye Shenxun, asking the other person where they would like to go

In the past, I always felt that Sheng Shan was distant from me. Even if she was willing to share her thoughts with me, it was merely due to the fact that there were no other people in the apartment besides me. I never expected that she had already considered me a friend. I suddenly recalled the smile she gave me that day on the balcony while biting into a fruit popsicle. There was no estrangement, only sincerity

I have seen many beauties, and although Jie Ran may not be the most beautiful, she is the most distinctive. She has a beauty mark the size of a glutinous rice grain at the corner of her eye, and when she is not speaking, she resembles a French porcelain doll ready to take the stage. When she speaks, there is an innate charm and confidence about her, and when she smiles, she must also be very beautiful

Do not pull me!

Ye Shen sought out the folk customs proprietress to borrow a bucket, rolled up his pant legs, and waded into the water, while Ye Shenxing cheered for him from the shore. One person's shouting was not enough, so he also dragged along the lethargic me

Shut up

On that day she referred to, I had represented Shen Zhou to ask questions. Originally, my main task was to take notes, but while taking notes, there were some aspects I did not understand, and I immediately interrupted to raise my questions

Finally, the school has opened, and the September breeze has faded the heat. Liu Dazhuang and Xiao He are both at B University, the southernmost point, leaving me alone at the northernmost. To their credit, after completing their registration, they still came to find me, saying that everyone should gather for a meal

For the first time in my life, I entrusted the application of makeup to Jie Ling, someone I am not very familiar with.

What if it really cannot be found

This pair of shoes was created by the renowned French designer Jessica Jung. I visited her exhibition while studying in Paris

The Buddha asked: Do you wish to see that man again

I don't have enough brain capacity: "Ah? Why?"

What?

Like a book that seems never-ending, it leaves those who cannot see the conclusion feeling restless

She is too simple. So simple that he cannot fathom her. In this circle, who is not a master of psychological manipulation? He has managed to climb to the top of the food chain through his own abilities, but only Zhou Yin knows how many losses he has suffered and how many times he has bled in the shadows. He once thought that he had a complete grasp of people's thoughts, but then Cheng Gaigai emerged out of nowhere

Ye Shenxun quickly understood my meaning and slightly nodded at me. Just then, a young man dressed like an elite approached to offer a toast, half-jokingly saying: "It has been quite a while since we last met, when did Young Master Ye have a daughter?"

I leaped up: "I have never danced in my entire life!" sounding as if I were so proud. "Is that why you are so uncoordinated?" he raised his eyebrows slightly.

Although I am ... ... in height and have ... ... measurements, at least it can be seen that I am in my teens, okay? Can we have a bit of logic!

Well, I admit that during the conversation between Jie Ling and Ye Shenxun, I secretly applied some more, because it simply smelled too good

Liu Dazhuang enthusiastically agreed: "Sure, sure, × × family is currently holding an event, and drinks are unlimited"

In a moment of panic, I immediately guessed that I must have dropped it in Ye Shenxun's room while feeling dizzy and disoriented, and I was about to return to look for it when Ye Shenxun stopped me

I used to think that people like this, who are always aloof and utterly disdainful of bargaining, suddenly feel a bit closer now

There was a young and beautiful girl, born into a wealthy family and gifted in many arts, who longed throughout her life for the appearance of her ideal partner. One day, she went to a temple fair to relax, and amidst the throngs of people, she caught a glimpse of a young man, knowing in her heart that he was the one she had been waiting for. However, the scene was chaotic and crowded, and no matter what she did, she could not get close to him, ultimately watching helplessly as her beloved disappeared into the crowd

The person across from me, seeing that I had no intention of sharing, couldn't help but cough lightly and said, "Have you ever seen a boss go hungry while the employees feast?"

The flight ticket was booked at the last minute. Zhou Ying called late last night to say that the Xie family will officially introduce the newly returned Miss Xie to the outside world and will host a banquet tonight. "Is it necessary for you to come back?"

I gazed at her intently, and she seemed to sense my gaze, slightly turning her head to look at me from a distance, which startled me into quickly lowering my head in an ostrich-like manner. Ye Shenxun pondered for a moment and replied to me: "The matriarch of the Wei family."

Recalling their appearance, I did not even dare to approach the dining table. Ye Shenxun, rarely showing kindness, instructed the waiter to prepare a new serving of fried rice with meat for me and personally delivered it to my room

Ye Shenxing had not had enough fun, yet was sensible. Upon learning that her elder brother had matters to attend to, she obediently followed Peiyang back to Philadelphia right after getting off the plane. After a long journey, my neck was sore, and I intended to return to the apartment to rest. However, as my fingers inadvertently brushed against my neck, I discovered it was empty; the "Migu" that I had worn for many years was nowhere to be found.

In the past, I believed that there was at least some similarity between the roles played by Sheng Shan and myself. That is, the person I liked did not like me, no matter how much effort I expended. However, today, I suddenly realized that in this play, she was never a solo performer

At that moment, I understood Ye Shenxun's smile; he was amused by my expression of deep gratitude. I thought Sheng Shan wanted to be friends with me, but in reality, she had merely heard that I was going to work at the company where Zhou Yin was, and she wanted me to act as her informant to obtain first-hand intelligence

As Xie Ran just descended the stairs, the young women, accustomed to flattery, surrounded her, encircling her. In an effort to please one another, they deliberately raised their voices to say unpleasant things: "I heard that those who are kept by men, well, today's new love may become tomorrow's annoyance. Xie Ran, don't take it to heart; Ye Shao's proposal was unsuccessful, and that's why he intentionally brought someone of low status to irritate you, which indicates that he still has feelings for you."

Xie Ran! The Asian model favored by Paris Fashion Week! Gained fame with an East Asian face that conforms to the golden ratio! A killer for otaku! Unexpectedly mistaken for a romantic rival... Uh, indeed, no one is perfect, and the mind is not quite right

In going to Huizhou, although it is said to be an invitation, my true role is merely to follow along and assist with trivial matters. I am responsible for arranging the flight tickets and accommodation. Why don't you two just directly state that you need someone to help?

He knocked on the bathroom door: "Come out."

The United States truly has nothing!

Sheng Shan sat cross-legged and offered me a spoonful of ice cream, pondering thoughtfully

She also appeared in Ye Shao's car, and the voice you heard on the phone back then was hers. Yes, it was a prank to take revenge on Ye Shenxun for his "seeing death and not saving" attitude.

The warmth lingering at the tips of the man's fingers contrasts sharply with the coolness of the shaving water. I am not accustomed to this accidental intimacy; my entire body ignites with heat, and I step back several paces, trying to conceal my reaction.

Now, when I think of Sui Wan, images of her with Wei Guangyin always come to my mind, and I suddenly feel a sharp pain in my head. It has been a long time since I last went online. "Covering one's ears while stealing a bell" is not always a bad phrase.

I was taken aback, fixing my gaze on the screen, and realized that in my moment of frustration, I had mistakenly set Huizhou as my destination, with the departure point being Bincheng

Upon realizing that I had touched my bottom line, Ye Shenxun softened his tone and caught me, who was trying to escape with my suitcase.

I had no doubts about him, vividly recounting the details of the fight to the other party, and then accidentally encountering him in the office while he was conversing with Ye Shenxun

Immature! Abominable! How could you, as an older brother, think of enticing in front of the children?

The hotel was also booked in advance online, a guesthouse within the ancient town. Although it is not as upscale as a hot spring hotel, it is close to the attractions, avoiding the hassle of travel

Ye Shenxun seemed to sense something, and with a sharp glance, we three scattered in groups to escape

Once these words were spoken, I simply huddled in the car like a rock

Clearly, it was only a discount of 200 yuan, yet Cheng Gaigai felt as if she had gained 2 million. In an instant, she forgot about Ye Shenxun's actions towards her and joyfully ran into the fitting room to change. The boss shouted from outside: "Little girl! No need to change! Just wear it like this to go hiking and take photos, it will definitely attract attention!"

Jie Ran was anxious, her face pale as iron, and then as if she thought of something, she suddenly chuckled and looked at Sheng Shan with a graceful demeanor: "Of course it’s different, at least the taste is not quite the same." Her complexion was overly striking, as if waiting for the show to begin. Meanwhile, the naive me was already being led by Jie Ling, winding through the courtyard to another small building

Everyone knows the meaning of terms like "godfather," "godmother," and "goddaughter." The person suddenly realized this and laughed heartily, raising a glass of wine towards me from a distance, regardless of whether I had actually drunk any. In a state of extreme excitement, he ran off to gather with others, and it was easy to predict what he would say next

At the door, I stubbornly refused to get out of the car. He spoke in a very stern tone: "Don't say you are not sure whether that thing really fell in the room. Even if it did, the waiter might have thrown it away as trash after cleaning. Even if you go back, the possibility of finding it is extremely slim."

She should be two or three years older than Sheng Shan, trying hard to play the role of an older sister, but Sheng Shan was not impressed. As she tugged at the torn hem of her skirt, she coldly laughed, "This meeting gift is quite substantial"

"Uh, of course not, this is a private trip for you and your elder brother." "But I want you to go." "Just think about it..."

The place recommended by the proprietress is not the antique shop in town; instead, she spoke in an interesting Huizhou dialect and suggested that we take a stroll to the village entrance

If Wei Yan acted with great decisiveness, Qi Yueying was quite the opposite, with a profound mind and an unflappable demeanor in the face of change. Born in ancient times, she was also a heroine.

Who says the starting line is not important? When I was nine years old, I had no idea who Zhu Yuanzhang was; I only knew about pigs

The television advertisement states that Langsha is indeed enticing

However, the official rumor is that Jie Ran is young and beautiful, with her career flourishing like the sun at noon, and she is bound to have an even greater stage in the future. Marrying and having children too early means abandoning everything: fame, figure, and the aura of a princess. Making such a decision indeed requires time. Alas, thinking about it this way, Ye Shenxun seems so pitiful, so pitiful that I clinked glasses with him and sighed, saying, "I understand your feelings"

It was not a holiday, and the tourists were sparse. A few girls in front of me took out their cameras and kept clicking away, capturing both the scenery above and below, finally focusing their lenses directly behind them. Upon closer inspection, I realized that in addition to the landscape, they were also focusing on Ye Shenxun.

If one does not have the hobby of casually slapping others, it is indeed quite perfect

Sheng Shan Tai moved me deeply, not only fighting hard for me but also considering my escape route. I once held prejudices against her; I was truly in the wrong, narrow-minded, and I measured a gentleman's heart with the mind of a petty person. In an instant, I thought of many critical words to describe myself, yet Ye Shen Xun, like a transcendent figure who saw through the whole situation, slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said nothing.

Everything is great except for not having money to refuel

Fortunately, she did not hear my careless remark: "He is particular about his bed." Otherwise, Jie Ran would likely not want to see me, but rather wish to kill me

After all, I am merely an intern who has just entered the field. My last trip to the United States was only to attend a meeting and assist in recording some key points; I am not yet at the stage where I can take on a case directly. After helping Shali organize the initial version of the materials, I was just about to seize the opportunity to slip away when the door to Ye Shenxun's office opened, and he called me over with a serious expression.

I began to anxiously search for Sheng Shan's figure among the crowd, only to discover that she had somehow made her way to the outer edge of the crowd. Alongside me, Xie Ran was also looking over, wearing an expression of utmost satisfaction.

Ye Shenxing, not knowing where he learned the words, innocently spoke on behalf of his brother: "Yes, Chengcheng, last night you shared the same bed with elder brother..."

Ye Shenxun swiftly pulled the plate into his domain: "This novel is written by you, right?" He picked up an Orleans-style chicken wing, savoring it as if he were tasting Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, completely oblivious to the fact that my eyes were nearly popping out. "Do you think that to obtain a master's degree from Binfa, all you need to do every day is eat, drink, and have fun? When staying up late to analyze data and write papers, fast food is the best companion."

He glanced at me, extremely serious: "You do not understand. You and that person have no chance of reaching this point at all"

I felt particularly uncomfortable, and Jie Ling, observing me closely, adjusted my face to face the mirror and smiled gently, saying: "With delicate brows and bright eyes, you are a fine material."

The girl's pride seemed to crumble at that moment. She must have thought of someone, her eyes appearing as if touched by the dew of peach blossoms, looking entirely pink and tender: "Given Zhou Yin's character, if he truly disliked me, there would be a hundred ways for him to make me retreat without a fight, but he hasn't. This indicates that my presence has long been successfully established."

She slowly turned her face, her hair fluttering, as if she smiled slightly: "Cheng Gaigai, your way of clinging to the wealthy is truly eye-opening for me"

I do not mean to look down on the aunties, after all, I have also been an auntie myself, and I once threw a chunk of pork at Ye Shenxun's face... In any case, I really want to get close to the other party, regardless of the purpose.

As he walked near the school, he recalled something and asked me: "Have you given any thought to Zhou Yin's proposal?"

At the entrance of the house, vehicles have intermittently arrived, their headlights flickering on and off across the man's face. The girl looked up at him, her clear double eyelids framed by beads that shimmered like obsidian, radiating brilliance.

Jie Ling did not notice my raised eyebrows; she tilted her head slightly and smiled brightly: "Before the attendees even arrived at the venue, I heard that the eldest son of the Ye family brought someone special, and I was quite curious. I didn't expect that the young lady and I have met before."

No regrets. Decisive and resolute

The guesthouse appears to be quite new, though it is not large, with a total of just about ten rooms. What is delightful is that we are actually the first batch of guests to check in. "The owner said that the first batch of guests can receive half of their payment back if they leave a good review." Therefore, the first thing I did upon entering the room was to craft words and phrases to praise it.

Before leaving the city, Sheng Shan was still puzzled about what plans Xie Mingdong was concocting, at this time bringing Xie Ling back. Indeed, the plan has been set in motion, aimed at a strong alliance through marriage. It seems that Ye Shenxun must return to Bincheng, and this is largely the reason.

... ... promising!

What should I do? Seeing her rare and joyful appearance, I really want to add a touch of brilliance and loudly say: "I heard a secret today, it seems that Zhou Yin cares about you!" Unfortunately, I cannot.

A person with a strong sense of self-esteem fears being pitied, not even a glance of compassion is acceptable. I understand Sheng Shan's feelings, yet I cannot remain indifferent to the sadness she experiences after learning that she is my friend.

Pack your things and come with me to the airport

All those who come are well-trained, each person restrains one, leaving one to corner me, intending to capture me. I keenly noticed that the door of the private room was not tightly closed, and the speed I developed from my mischievous activities in my youth came in handy at this moment. After a perfect spin, my opponent missed, and I slipped through under his elbow, heading straight for the door.

Liu Dazhuang's expression was one of horror, and so was Xiao He. The gist was: the stingy Cheng Gaigai is going to treat us! Everyone, come and take a look! I felt embarrassed, thinking that I should negotiate a higher salary with Ye Shenxun, but the person had already been taken away in a taxi

They also went to the United States together, not staying in hotels, but seemingly in a private residence

My words moved Ye Shenxun, his expression slightly brightened, and he was led by the waiter to the room

Whether to reimburse or not really depends on your mood At that moment, I was unsure whether to first scold him for being stingy or to thank him for the gift he sent

The girl hurriedly swallowed the last French fry, yet her eyes still drooped as she resentfully stared at the bones of the grilled wings. Ye Shenxun secretly smiled, but suddenly felt a twinge of disappointment.

Dreams do exist, but I lack principles

I really want to ask him if he still remembers who Cheng Suiwan is But that is a matter for later

In the KTV, I specifically chose sad songs, wailing with a broken voice like a ghost crying out in anguish

She said that the pranks of Wei Guangyin during her childhood brought her to tears. In the midst of the adults' flustered moments, it was the young Zhou Yin who decisively took off his little coat, stepped forward in a flash, and held her in his arms. Thus, my pursuit of Wei Guangyin caught her attention. Because, like me, she had carefully kept someone in her heart for many years, daring not to think by day, nor to forget by night

Upon hearing the word "kill," Ye Shenxing became agitated: "Who wants to kill my brother? Absolutely not!" His expression instantly turned somewhat fierce, truly reflecting the deep bond of brotherhood.

At the beginning of the semester, with few courses, I tend to work part-time a bit more frequently

I simply lack grace! I am not gentle even with children! ... I just ... . ... It saddens me that the first person I see every time I wake up from being drunk is not him from my dreams

I collided with her in a rush, and the girl covered the side of her face that had been hit. She looked up, ready to express her anger, but then saw someone behind her reaching out to grab me. Sheng Shan, as expected of someone with a solid background, skillfully pulled at the fabric of my waist, causing me to fall into her embrace like a weak woman from ancient times who knew no martial arts

In my childhood, I was notorious for my mischief. Living near the countryside, where there were many small animals, I often went to the back mountain to catch caterpillars and other harmless creatures to scare the children in the neighborhood, using intimidation to solidify my position as the leader. However, despite climbing trees, catching birds, and stealing jujubes, I always kept my distance from loaches.

The other party suffered a silent grievance, yet due to the authority of their superior, they dared not speak up: "Miss Cheng is uncooperative, therefore ... ... "

On the road, I felt drowsy; the closer I got to the town, the brighter the daylight became, and what caught my eye was a series of ancient arches.

I can't take it anymore, don't stop me, I am going to flip the table

You need not worry about me she said

Resolving this trouble with Jian Ran is not something that can be easily shaken off. If she truly intends to harm you, you won't always be so fortunate. Living with me ensures at least some safety and security. After all, we are all enshrined in the temple, and there is no need for anyone to worship anyone else

Ye Shenxing returned to the country secretly, and it is said that he will leave again after a while. This time, the person sent to pick him up is Peiyang. To avoid drawing too much attention by using a private jet, he chose to follow the crowd and take Air China, well aware of the frequent flight delays.

He leisurely picked up another one, asserting, "Eating too much junk food is also unhealthy; this amount is just right for you."

The man turned slightly, dismissively saying, "What more is there to say?" indicating that the previous matter was not an issue at all; he simply wanted to hear more.

The two of us moved a small wooden table to the balcony, enjoying drinks under the night sky. I took a small sip; the taste was a bit astringent, but upon careful savoring, there was a lingering fragrance of lotus flowers. Unable to resist, I tried a couple more sips and was scolded for being a drunkard

However, to be honest, I have never encountered a piece of clothing that makes my heart race just by looking at it; yet her design truly captivates me.

I presented myself with the demeanor of one seeking a mentor, as Sheng Shan gracefully crossed her long legs and deftly took a seat on the terrace. The evening breeze was gentle, and the sun was setting in the west. She enjoyed her popsicle in good spirits while channeling Shakespeare.

As evening approached, Ye Shenxun stared at the stubborn girl in the car who remained silent, and his expression gradually softened. The shadows in her eyes constantly shifted in shape, and upon hearing that the possibility of recovery was almost negligible, those shadows shattered completely, as if her bright eyes could burst into tears with just a blink.

She must have recognized me, otherwise she wouldn't have appeared just in time to save the situation. The smile on Sheng Shan's lips grew even wider as she took the opportunity to tread on Jie Ran's sore spot: "Although we share the same surname, the blood that flows is still somewhat different, isn't it?"

In fact, in fact

As soon as the voice fell, Jie Ran raised her hand and slapped the nearest bodyguard, feigning anger, "I asked you to invite Miss Cheng for a meeting, not to cause a scene"

Are you two still exchanging this kind of thing? No wonder he doesn't even like Sheng Shan...

The plane arrives at 8 PM. He first took me back to his residence. I waited in the car while he changed into a different outfit. He came downstairs wearing a Versace short-sleeve shirt and casual pants, a rare light color scheme, which instantly made him look youthful and full of vigor.

"Entered and exited the Ye Shao community." Drunk...

A year ago, when we first met, she spoke casually about the celebrities in the design circle. Having studied in Paris, her expertise must be closely related to art. Therefore, even her room was arranged in a simple yet elegant manner, occasionally adorned with a splash of bright color in inconspicuous places, reflecting the grace of a young woman.

Ye Shenxing was quite receptive to my suggestion: "The Ming Dynasty? Zhu Yuanzhang? Sounds like a lot of fun."

I ignored his meaning and quickly booked a return flight. I stood up abruptly and said, "Mr. Ye, please make way. I no longer want this job; you have no right to interfere with my freedom in life." With that, I opened the wardrobe and began to pack my things.

It is evident that Ye Shenxun had a severe headache, almost urging Peiyang to take us two neurotics away.

Ye Shenxun stated that what others cannot do but I can do is not business travel, but rather picking someone up from the airport

The story is too engaging, and I fear that if I continue listening, I will end up crying. Thus, I quickly turned around and pulled Ye Shenxing away, saying: "Let's see what is over there." Several minutes later, Ye Shenxun finally arrived, not knowing what he had been doing.

Uncertain whether it refers to a dress or a person

"Is it possible to sign a letter of commitment?" I gritted my teeth, and he still firmly held my arm: "Isn't it just a piece of wood? How much is it worth? The round-trip airfare isn't even enough, right?" I was exasperated, "Some things cannot be measured by price." His expression darkened inexplicably, "I have yet to see such a thing." After saying this, he drove me into the car.

Ye Shenxun glanced over, unsure of what to think, and replied: "A token of love." I slipped slightly, feeling a sense of unspoken hardship: "It is evident that the other party truly loves you to the point of wanting to kill you."

Reappearing at the venue, everyone was rendered speechless. The characters who had previously expressed their disdain for me were all wide-eyed, wishing they could slap themselves. I truly have to thank Jie Ling for her long dress. Or perhaps, what everyone was really looking at was just my leading lady holding my hand

In front of the tall window, a patch of greenery serves as the backdrop, and the leaves gently sway, causing a subtle ripple in the gaze. Amidst this, a teasing remark flashes by: "What is there to see? It is far more beautiful than the way she dances."

His reaction pleased Ye Shenxun, who gave me a look that seemed to say, "See, I am still important." I rolled my eyes, finding it uninteresting, and leaned back to take a short nap in the corner of the back seat. After a moment, I heard Ye Shenxun say that he wanted to take Ye Shenxing on a trip.

I stood still, looking around. The furnishings of this room were basically the same as those in mine, the only difference being that my bed had a canopy, while there was none here

Indeed, indeed, however, how did Miss Sheng end up together with her

She appears to be a careless foodie, yet when it comes to work, she is remarkably meticulous for her age. There are many areas where she lacks understanding, but her ability to absorb information is particularly strong. You say she is a bit neurotic, yet she remains clear-headed in critical moments

Then I absolutely cannot go!

Ye Shenxing looked at the two of them innocently as they exchanged words, leaving the boss unable to retort. Finally, he simply gritted his teeth and said: "Fine, one hundred and eighty it is."

I stood to the side like a mummy, my body straight, only daring to blink, afraid to engage in any other unnecessary actions for fear of leaving a bad impression. Until someone clinked their wine glass against mine and asked, "Are you the secretary who went to the United States for the summit last time?" I paused my breath, my hands and feet became flustered, unsure whether to toast or drink, I could only stammer and nod, saying, "N-no, that's right. It's me."

The sky has darkened, and Sheng Shan, accustomed to wearing high-heeled sandals, walks as if on level ground, while I struggle immensely

Meeting the two of you brothers, I have lost

Of course it is different, at least the taste is different

Jie Ran and Sheng Shan have always been the center of attention, and now that both heroes are present, the number of onlookers around them is increasing.

Why does this conversation feel particularly strange? It seems as if I am truly the third party between him and Jie Ran, taking advantage of the moment when the legitimate partner is too preoccupied to pay attention, arranging to sneak away for a rendezvous.

Under the orange streetlight, she furrowed her brows, her face seemingly enveloped in smoke, exuding an otherworldly aura, with a hint of the usual three parts of arrogance diminished.

"The person is someone I brought out; if you encounter any accidents on the way, does it have anything to do with me?"

In front of the desk, I tried to lower my voice, almost dropping the new phone provided by the company in two pieces. However, due to Sheng Shan's influence, Jie Ran did not trouble me again. Thinking of this, I compromised once more and stealthily moved towards Ye Shenxun's office. As soon as Zhou Yin came out, I pretended to deliver documents and pushed the door open.

There was a strange resemblance between her eyebrows and those of Jie Ran, which struck me as familiar for a moment. It took me quite a while to recall that we had once crossed paths in front of a shop window on the street.

Important matters should be stated three times. Forgive me for not understanding this principle at that time, so I only said it once, and was interrupted by Ye Shenxun, who took the lead in saying: "Yes, she is clearly a goddaughter."

In reality, it is indeed quite nice, as most of the houses were built during the Republic of China period. The old wooden structures, with occasional small areas adorned with processed bamboo, add to the charm. Furthermore, the guesthouse is situated in a highly praised ancient village, adjacent to an expansive lotus pond. The pond has several water inlets along the shore, one of which is right next to Ye Shenxun's room. In the evening, when one pushes open the nearly two-meter-high wooden door, it is common to see bamboo raft boatmen parting the lotus leaves, gliding through the water, and then disappearing from sight.

No wonder Miss Jie has to step forward, who doesn't know this? Haven't they been a couple since childhood?

As soon as Ye Shenxing was escorted out of the checkpoint, I locked onto his location and rushed over, greeting him with a sound mimicking that of a car horn.

I want to find those two individuals who acted violently

"I came to see the old leader." It was forced.

At the same moment, the powerful Sheng Shan was besieged by two individuals. With a loud bang, her back crashed heavily against the glass wall, shattering several cracks. I felt a bit worried and wanted to rush over to help, but she kicked forcefully at the nearest person in black and shouted at me, "Call! Find Zhou Yin!"

She walked from Huaiyang Road to Huaibei, seemingly tireless, and I followed closely behind, fearing that her unstable condition might lead to some unforeseen incident. The girl, whose beauty was captivating, finally noticed the shadow of someone behind her, suddenly stopped, and turned to look at me

It seems that when I was inadvertently taken to meet the former leader, it was due to Peiyang and others mistaking their target, believing I was the lost daughter of the Xie family, hoping for me to return to my roots.

Fortunately, I have a few friends by my side, and I even ran into Sheng Shan. If it weren't for her helping me to distract those people, I wouldn't have had a chance to call for help. Speaking of this, I feel quite guilty for causing her injury, with a long glass scratch on her back. I wonder if she has recovered by now

I felt as if struck by lightning, and that night I changed my QQ signature to this phrase, declaring as if in a courtroom: "Because of this statement, I have made this friend!"

I am relieved that she did not disguise herself as a man, otherwise I might have really fallen in love. It seems that Zhou Yin did not lie; that day at the hospital, if it came to blows, I would definitely be the one at a disadvantage

Her playful remarks once became my motivation to stay in the Foreign Language Department, and later, I enthusiastically treated Xia Li to several meals, hoping she would generously share her knowledge, all for the day when I could match someone with my own abilities

This fellow, refusing to admit his mistakes, even provokes. I must be out of my mind to embark on this ridiculous journey with him

I am willing!

It is quite a coincidence that I did not encounter the waiter when I went out, but instead ran into Sheng Shan

Under normal circumstances, I might worship the diligent and hardworking top student Ye in front of me, but at this moment, I cannot absorb anything! I cannot absorb anything! The family bucket meal only has two pairs of grilled wings! How could he treat me like this!

Is this what is known as "not looking at the monk's face but at the Buddha's face"?

During dinner, the proprietress presented Ye Shenxun with a small jar of lotus flower brew. It seems that being handsome allows one to act with impunity wherever they go

At that moment, Xie Ran's expression fluctuated between bright and dark, yet she did not dare to be overly ostentatious. Regardless of how things were behind the scenes, in public, she was still a remarkably youthful model, and more importantly, the elegant and dignified daughter of the Xie family, just like Xie Ling. If one had to point out something different, she was indeed the legitimate one.

Look, living in a student dormitory is not that comfortable

The journey was bumpy, and he was not accustomed to the bed, so he had not slept well. As soon as he got on the bus, he closed his eyes to rest. The late autumn sun had a unique orange hue, with a few strands of yellow that seemed like a masterpiece brushed by a calligrapher, laying over his distinguished profile, his fair eyelids, and his well-defined long eyelashes. Everything complemented each other, bringing a lightness to the heart of the observer

I was taken aback, unwilling to believe it. However, seeing his calm demeanor, which did not resemble that of a liar, I was immediately overcome with nausea and ran to the bathroom, vomiting for more than ten minutes. When I came out, I was coughing, my eyes were red, and tears were streaming down my face

The KTV's soundproofing effect is questionable; after half an hour, someone unexpectedly pushed the door open, wearing a fierce expression.

In the end, I pretended to be polite and added the phrase: "Sorry to trouble you." Through the mirror, Ye Shenxun gave me a thoughtful glare: "Haven't you caused enough trouble already?" If it weren't for Sheng Shan's voice intervening, I would have probably engaged in a heated debate with him.

I can't believe it, you didn't even clarify your intentions, in this situation who the hell would cooperate? Are you sick or am I sick? But I didn't have the chance to complain, Ye Shenxun pushed me towards the direction of Peiyang not far away, turned around and called to Sheng Shan, saying: "You two get in the car first" Sheng Shan glanced at Ge Ran with irritation and brushed past him.

As per convention, the flavors I selected will certainly be presented before Zhou Yin, after all, I have been a guinea pig more than once or twice. However, this time, my state of mind is particularly different

Jie Ran has mobilized a large number of people to see me, reportedly based on rumors from the Jie family's bodyguards, claiming that I have an affair with Ye Shenxun

It turned out that the other daughter of the Xie family whom Ye Shenxun was looking for that day was her, Xie Ling. Life is full of coincidences; she had once waved goodbye to me amicably, and an unintentional remark became a prophecy.

Even though Ye Shenxun later claimed that it was not loach meat, she still felt a lingering fear. On the third day of the trip, they set off to the nearby famous scenic spot, the high mountain, which was a half-hour journey. She, who was usually very talkative, did not utter a single word, which struck Ye Shenxing as strange

Falling in love with you is something I cannot help but do

Thus, the girl transformed into a large stone, lying in the wilderness, enduring four hundred and ninety-nine years of wind and sun, yet she did not find it burdensome. In the final year, a quarry team came, selected her, and chiseled her into a stone slab, transporting her into the city, where a stone bridge was being constructed. The girl then became the railing of the stone bridge. On the very first day the bridge was completed, the girl saw the man she had waited for five hundred years.

After we left, Shen Xing made a great fuss, saying that he would come back to find you

He shook his head with righteous indignation and said, "She is not my biological child." I felt greatly comforted, but then I heard him add, "She was conceived through other means."

Wouldn't it be better if you bought another one? I cautiously probed.

It seems that Ye Shenxun was no stranger to mischief in his childhood, walking through the water that was half the height of his legs with ease, and he always managed to find the places where loaches liked to hide, digging them out with precision. In the end, the more than 1 kilogram of loaches became our dinner

Ye Shenxun pulled me back to the computer desk: "I don't mean to drag you back, but out of humanitarianism, I have the obligation to inform you, Miss Cheng, that your flight ticket is booked incorrectly"
