Chapter 98: A Kiss for You

At this hour, Xu Yancheng should still be at the company.

Lin Lu placed the index finger of her right hand on the fingerprint lock, and with a soft click, the door opened.

The corners of her lips curved slightly. He had not changed the lock.

Just as she had expected, the room was empty.

Lin Lu took off her shoes and did not wear the slippers placed on the rack.

Barefoot, she walked into the living room, sat down on the sofa, took out the wine, and opened every bottle.

...

The woman in red nodded to herself. Two thousand four hundred a month was not much, but it was not absurdly low either. If it were really priced at market value, her master might not accept it at all.

Second Aunt had lost all her earlier swagger. Her head was bowed, and her eyes were still red and swollen, as though she had been crying.

"Heh. A person should not break their word? Zero One, how does that sound coming out of your mouth?" Tang Fan said coolly, with a faint laugh. She knew Tang Fan's two personalities very well. If it were his righteous side, perhaps he would never change his mind. But if it were the Zero One personality, the woman in red only found it ironic.

The second ice sculpture remained, granting him the presence he needed in another form.

"What is it? Lan Yun's mother is here. Zhang Xiaohua won't go causing trouble, will she?" Jiang Xueying worried that Zhang Xiaohua might target Liu Lanyun. A woman in childbirth must not be made angry.

"I'll tell you this! If you dare lay a hand on me where there are people around, and if the chairman finds out about this, none of you will escape the consequences!" Zhu Dafu shouted furiously.

Once Li Mo's body had been taken over by the Black Dragon Nascent Soul, she could never bend at the waist again. The Black Dragon Nascent Soul was such an arrogant dragon spirit that it looked down even on Li Mo, its own master; how could it possibly be willing to bow before human beings?

Meanwhile, the thunderclouds in the sky showed no sign of dispersing. Instead, they only grew more violent.

Jiang Xueying regretted speaking to this girl. Kindness had not been repaid with gratitude; why should she serve her? So what if she was Feng Jun's cousin and had come to be welcomed? You can never truly know a person from the face they wear. Who would scheme like this the moment they met? She had no patience at all. Did she think that because she was pretty, everyone had to fall for her tricks?

Looking at Evil Life and Fu Sang lying on the ground, both faces battered and swollen, Shen Yu shook out his hand and muttered under his breath.

Being questioned by such a beautiful woman, one almost unreal in her loveliness, Dongzi could not help blushing. "Huang Peeler is nothing but a pig. Pah, he's not even as good as a pig. Fat-headed and big-eared, so fat there's nothing left but his belly. Pah, just hearing about him makes me sick. Don't be angry, all the people here talk about him like this. Pah!" He spat again after saying it.

After eating and drinking their fill for free, they set out once more and reached the ferry crossing on Black Sand River before nightfall.

In short, when it came to strengthening the body, the Crimson Toad and the Ice Silkworm had indeed made him stronger to some extent, but they still remained within the bounds of humanity.

Shi Xi lifted her head and glanced at him, then took an apple and a fruit knife from beside her and began peeling it slowly.

At the bend in the corridor, just as Ouyang Lian had turned the corner and stepped out moments before, he suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure and abruptly stepped back.

Suddenly, he thought of Le Ling'er. He thought of how even Le Ling'er had been deceiving him, acting a part before him. His heart was instantly cut to pieces, his face turned ashen, and his hatred deepened. Fury surged up so violently it nearly set him ablaze.

Since Gong Yuchen had already spoken, An Jiu had no choice but to leave together with Tian Xiao. The moment Tian Xiao let go of the steering wheel, An Jiu pressed the accelerator, and the car shot forward at once. Only then did An Jiu slowly place both hands on the wheel.

As for Lin Shuxin, she could probably be set aside for the moment. No matter how bold Lin Shuxin might be, she still had to take the power of the Gong family into account. If it were exposed that someone had taken her place to marry into the Gong family, it would not do her any good.

After a long journey of road and river travel, everyone was somewhat exhausted. Once they entered the house, they each went to sleep in turn.
