Chapter 31: Ruan An'an Wants to Swap Rooms with Jiang Wuyang

Jiang Yiran shook his head. “I’m not entirely sure either. Uncle Wang was the one who went to pick her up. I’ll give him a call later.”

“She’s your own younger sister. How can you not even know that?”

Perhaps it was because he had just endured an awkward moment, or perhaps because Jiang Wuyang had humiliated him that morning. Either way, Lin Yan was being entirely unapologetic now.

Lin Yan’s words inexplicably irritated Jiang Yiran.

“Are you picking a fight, Lin Yan?” He had never been a particularly gentle—

Xia Qingxiao drew a deep breath and said nothing. Anything she said now would sound overly affected. Still, why did she feel as though she had fallen into a trap? Thinking back to the way Han Baimo had looked at her just now, his eyes had seemed to be waiting for her to plunge into an abyss.

Xia Qingxiao had always prided herself on being heartless and selfish. At a time like this, shouldn’t she have been thinking only of herself? Why was she paying attention to the emotions he was trying so desperately to conceal in his eyes?

Qu Xiaoxiao was laughing smugly halfway through her triumphant speech when she realized that Dr. Zhao had betrayed her and delivered her straight into her mother’s hands.

No one could have expected Qiu Yingying to actually drink the nearly full glass of red wine, without the slightest hesitation. Fan Shengmei was left gaping in shock. When had those two sworn enemies started secretly working together? But on second thought, every word of Qu Xiaoxiao’s advice had been perfectly reasonable from Qiu Yingying’s perspective. The latest advice she had given not long ago had probably hit the nail on the head as well.

I really wasn’t in good shape today. I’ve been writing for most of the day, so read this for now. I’m going to take some time to properly work through the plot.

“Uncle, Auntie, please take me in! I’m truly miserable.” Luo Shihan finally squeezed out a few tears and gazed pitifully at Xia Weixing and Madam Zhao.

Under the brilliant sunlight, that graceful body looked even fairer and more delicate. Xiang Benzhai let out an excited howl and pounced straight at her.

Qu Xiaoxiao argued her case outside with tremendous conviction, while Dr. Zhao was choking so badly inside that he could not even urinate and nearly suffocated.

The thought flashed through her mind, but she quickly knitted her brows again and returned her attention to the unceasing pain in her elbow.

I truly am harboring a vain hope—a hope that someone as doting as Tang Chuanxiu would be my older brother, that the grandfather, father, and mother of the Yi family would be mine as well, and that everything I greedily wished to possess could truly belong to me.

“The Five Elements Sword Sect? You’re from the Five Elements Sword Sect?” Zhang Lu stared at the five claw marks Zhang Fan had gouged out with his hand, a trace of disbelief on his face.

Chen Tianfeng was somewhat surprised—both by what Yelan had said and by what she was doing.

Ying felt helpless as he sensed Yae Miko’s soft hair brushing across his neck and shoulder. It tickled pleasantly.

The enormous dragon circled through the sky, its cry clear and resonant. As it listened to the voices of the people below, the red glow in its eyes faded. Its immense wings stirred the winds of freedom as it swept through the alleys of Mondstadt.

The weather was cold, so the corpse would not begin to smell for the time being. Even if the police found the chemical plant, they would not discover that Li Wei’s body had been buried inside the electrical cabinet.

CoCo appeared before everyone in a white suit, her gaze falling first on Kong Ruiyu.

Even when he drank himself senseless, the worst that happened was that he became more talkative and louder, then vomited all over the floor before sobering up and wishing only to hurry home and sleep. He had never blacked out even once, let alone done anything so outrageous.

People in the countryside would tie chicken feathers together to make feather dusters for sweeping away dust and the like, so they generally kept them.

If only I had known, I wouldn’t have thrown in so much filthy stuff... We’ll have to carry out a thorough disinfection. Should I call Yanfei over to help?

Just as Han Chen was deep in thought, Wang Bao, Sister Lian, and the others had already carried the sack containing Xu Hairui swiftly to a business van and thrown him into the trunk.

Sword energy, true energy, and golden light burst forth in the air. They then formed wave after wave of ripples, transforming into a shock wave that spread outward in every direction.

“Xinxin, hasn’t the Sea King come looking for you lately?” Shen Jiaqi ordered a cocktail at the bar and took a small sip.
