Chapter 173: A Warm Everyday Life

Chen Pan’er sat on the table, resting her chin on one hand, listening to the splashing sounds coming from the bathroom. She felt the breath of life returning once more.

The main reason was that Jiang Butong hadn’t come back these past few days, and she felt lonely again on her own.

She admitted that Jiang Butong had already taken up a place in her heart. She hadn’t felt anything before, but ever since the opening of the International Trade branch, Jiang Butong had become busy. Then he hired Liu Shuanzhu to deliver supplies daily to the old store.

...

When Yin Qianyi went upstairs, her eyes immediately caught sight of two plates of steaming, fragrant steaks on the table.

Thinking of Chu Tianyu and glancing at the God of War armor on herself, she suddenly didn’t want to return this treasure to that old rascal. Chu Tianyu pondered to himself: perhaps he could keep it for now, wait until he brings Bai Qingshuang over, and then sneak it back when leaving. Yes, that’s the plan. Giving this treasure to that old man would truly be a waste.

Chu Tianyu knew that Duan Zhitong was in a very poor state. It wasn’t the right time to ask her, so he waited until she had rested a bit before inquiring about the reason.

Seeing Secretary Li accept the matter, Shi Chongsheng finally smiled, as if Secretary Li had at last acknowledged the friendship between them, and his heart settled.

In the office, Zheng Changle sneered coldly, “Fine, I’ll make you understand soon whether I have the authority to kick you out of the General Surgery Department or not.” With that, Zheng Changle turned and left.

Of course, this was a risky gambit, more like a gamble, causing even Song Zhiwei and Jiang Bi to hesitate.

Just now, Dou Zhiyi was unconscious, and Chu Tianyu felt too embarrassed to dress her. Besides, he feared losing control and doing something disgraceful—something truly shameful. That would be disastrous.

Lu Mingcheng pulled out a faint smile. “Not late, just right!” With that, he walked straight into the room and took a seat in a single armchair.

“Husband, promise me you won’t take such risks anymore.” After a long while, Su Yaojing finally crawled out from Bai Lei’s embrace, lifting her head with big, glistening eyes fixed on Bai Lei’s face, as if afraid her lover might vanish from sight at any moment.

Su Qianyu had just reached the door when she saw Lu Mingcheng start up a sports car and vanish before her eyes in a flash.

Old Ma’s words weighed heavily on my mind. I mentioned the sealed spirit within the Seven Ghosts of Sahe, explaining that unless the seal’s time limit of forty-nine days was near, outsiders couldn’t penetrate it.

“Nine Dragon Blood Lake? My Felix, where is he now?” Upon hearing Felix’s words, Fedi immediately asked with confusion.

Su Chen witnessed everything. He stood up, walked down to the court, and pushed apart the two groups who were about to come into conflict.

This kiss made them both forget time, forget their surroundings, and even forget themselves. In their hearts and eyes, there was only each other; to them, the other was their entire world.

“If you don’t sell it, how will others use it?” The middle-aged man frowned in puzzlement, clearly not understanding.

With time, everything would return to its original state. But even so, this kind of divine power was terrifying.

“Alright... don’t give me that. When your heart was in bad shape before, I hated it most when you acted spoiled. Fine, tomorrow morning I’ll fix it for you and send it to your email.” Yuan Yuan admitted defeat.

On the way to find Charles, the prison guard led Su Chen and Lin Dong past the criminals’ quarters. Almost every prisoner, upon seeing Su Chen, tensed and gave a slight bow. Those walking the corridors might provoke the guards, but at this moment, they all obediently stepped aside.

“During the lunch break, I had a serious talk with him and reached an agreement.” Qi Yuanhong first glanced around, then took out a box containing ginseng and explained the situation.

Jun Li rested his chin on my head, gripping me tightly with both hands.
