Chapter 106: The Day You No Longer Want Me

“Hmm, he doesn’t look very bright.”

“Being dim has its advantages. Being too clever is no good either,” Xu Yancheng said with an unreadable smile.

“Xu Yancheng, who are you talking about? Clever women won’t let men pull their strings, of course you don’t like that. You like women who are easy to handle…”

“Uh?” Mei Chuan blinked, baffled by the remark. She had only offered a small suggestion, so why had Chen Ke suddenly become so polite? As a Japanese man, he could not make sense of it.

“It still hurts a lot!” Yun Xuan said with feigned distress. In truth it did still hurt, though not nearly as much as he made it sound.

Meng Yuxin smiled. This time there was no trace of strain in it; it was light and easy, as though she had finally set down a burden she had long carried. So free. So relieved.

“You’re too kind, Uncle! We can eat anything, really! You don’t need to make special arrangements for us!” Yun Xuan said with a smile.

Yet once the terror of their master came to mind, that thought vanished at once. If they dared to flee, their master would never spare them. As for what manner of torment they would be made to endure then, that would no longer be up to them.

The yacht was enormous. Its open deck was exceedingly broad, vast as an aircraft carrier, and its three tiers of cabins were forged from steel, giving one an impression of absolute solidity.

But all of it was frozen in an instant, pinned by some unfathomable force. And then, in the next moment...

Following the ticket, she found the twin berth at the very back of the coach, and Qing’er’s face instantly turned scarlet.

After receiving the order, the officers and soldiers of the First Brigade felt no excitement at all about bringing glory to General Wu. The brigade commander could still keep silent, but the men below had already begun whispering among themselves.

It had always been said that even the wicked might yet return to fortune; one must know that heaven and earth are watched by spirits at every turn. After mulling it over for a long while, Gao Gong’s face reddened slightly, and he shook his head in confusion.

His heart had died with the departure of Leng Meng, yet after meeting her, it seemed he had glimpsed Leng Meng returning once more. She was far too much like her: the same sorrow, the same stubbornness, the same preoccupied heart, the same disdain for wealth and status.

Ling Yu and Jin Ling’er kept dodging in the air as the saber in his hand unleashed a blade glow nearly ten meters long, carving out great crescent arcs one after another, while the dragon-headed men tumbled headlong into the valley.

Still, regret was regret. When Bai Xiaoxiang’s car pulled up to the villa gate, Lei Feng nevertheless plunged into his own battered taxi, and in the seat beside him sat, of course, Old Liu, whom Bai Xiaoxiang had driven into this vehicle.

He will avenge us. Many people repeated it silently in their hearts. That powerful conviction sustained them.

Could that girl have been talking nonsense in front of Guo Lin? Or was Guo Lin trying to use her to say something to him? Why couldn’t he just say it himself? The more Lin Wan’er thought about it, the more wronged she felt. Guo Lin, you ungrateful wretch. So your wings are hard now, and you don’t need to pay me any mind anymore. Too much.

At almost midnight, that young, promising, and handsome Deputy General Manager Cao actually drove to where she lived. The moment she went downstairs to greet him, she was utterly captivated by the large bouquet of dewy, radiant roses and by the faint scent of cologne lingering on Cao Dan’s body.

Jin Ling’er waved a hand, and the six of them abandoned the minivan and climbed into the armored vehicle. Zhu Caiyun threw herself into Jin Ling’er’s arms and burst into tears.

Ling Yu and the others returned once again to Jiashan Town. He intended to discuss the next step of the plan with Town Magistrate Pan Chuanming. After arranging matters such as dog training, Tong Yonghao came to Jiashan Town together with Ling Yu.

Before she could think further, a military vehicle drove in through the gate. The door opened, and Zheng Jiqing stepped out with two escorting guards.

The zoo was immense at a glance. Inside was a lake, and on the lake were black swans, white swans, and wild ducks.
