Lu Shijin stared intensely at Yan Xu. He then nodded gently before he held Tang Ruochu's hand and turned to leave.Tang Ruochu didn't understand why Shijin was rushing to leave. When she was about to ask him, she realized that his expression was a little cold.She closed her mouth sheepishly, turning her head to look at Yan Xu, who seemed rooted to the ground.Could it be her poor eyesight? He seemed to be grieving, as if... he was sad because he had lost something that he treasured deeply.Yan Xu watched her leave without speaking. He saw her turn around to look at him with that face, which was as cute and endearing as before. He felt heartbroken knowing that she was already someone else's wife.Even after she was long gone, he continued to stare in the direction where she had left.When he finally turned around slowly, his legs were already numb from the prolonged standing, which made him stumble and almost fall. Fortunately, his bodyguard, who had been hiding in a corner, rush
Ever since Tang Ruochu disappeared, Lu Shengyao had been very worried. He could neither stand nor sit for a prolonged period of time due to frustration.Seeing Lu Shengyao walking back and forth, Ying Xiaoxiao roared out in frustration. "Lu Shengyao, can't you sit properly? You're moving around so much that it's making me dizzy."Lu Shengyao pursed his lips as if he had been wronged. "I can't keep seated," he said. "If I could, why would I walk around aimlessly?"Ying Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly. "Mr. Lu is already out to fetch Chu. That means that Chu is safe, and there is no need to worry."Even though that was accurate, still—"I'm afraid that my brother will punish me severely."Well, that was his worst fear at the moment."So that's why!" The corner of Ying Xiaoxiao's eyes twitched as she retorted angrily, "You deserve to be punished by your brother.""My dearest cousin had been exiled to barren South Africa, hence my fate is worrying indeed."Lu Shengyao shook his head an
Lu Shijin pulled Tang Ruochu over."Sister-in-law~" Lu Shengyao wailed.Seeing that, Ying Xiaoxiao shook her head and sighed. Patting his shoulder, she tried to comfort him. "Pray for yourself, Lu Shengyao.""Ying Xiaoxiao, are you extremely happy seeing me in trouble?" Lu Shengyao asked unhappily as he heard the sarcasm in her voice.Ying Xiaoxiao widened her eyes and feigned surprise. "Oh my, how could you tell?""Ying. Xiao. Xiao!" Lu Shengyao gritted his teeth and shouted out her name, word by word."Sigh, I heard that there are plenty of mosquitoes in South Africa, as well as pathogens. Please take care of yourself."Ying Xiaoxiao smiled endearingly and satisfyingly at him.She then ignored his wails and left gracefully.Tang Ruochu was pulled into the room by Lu Shijin. Even though she knew that Lu Shengyao begging for forgiveness was a pretense, she still felt bad for him since he called her "sister-in-law" so helplessly."Shijin, this matter is not Shengyao's fault. D
"Why are they so adorable when they argue?"Looking at them, Tang Ruochu's lips curved up into a gentle smile.Seeing that Lu Shengyao didn't retort back, Ying Xiaoxiao snorted and turned to Tang Ruochu instead, asking, "Chu, since you are all right, why didn't you contact us last night?""I was drugged. Fortunately, I was saved. But I only woke up in the morning.""Damn!" Hearing that she was drugged, Ying Xiaoxiao blurted out a vulgarity."Are Su Tian'ai and her gang only capable of using such underhand methods?" Ying Xiaoxiao was furious as she turned around to speak to Lu Shengyao. "Lu Shengyao, let's get some drugs and give Su Tian'ai a taste of her own medicine.""They must have strong effects to torment her." A hint of malice arose in Lu Shengyao's eyes.Seeing their hateful expressions, Tang Ruochu shivered in fear and advised them. "Actually, there is another method that we can use to deal with her.""No! I have to give her a taste of her own medicine.""I agree." Lu
Tang Ruochu smiled helplessly as she exclaimed, "What a pair of delightful rivals."As the air became filled up with the fragrance of food, Tang Ruochu's stomach growled again. She looked at the fired-up couple and danced her way toward the kitchen.Lu Shijin was still busy with cooking. He was making the sauce for the ketchup prawns while keeping an eye on the roasted fish in the wok."So fragrant." Tang Ruochu walked toward him and took in a deep breath, smiling gently at him.He smiled gently back. "Are you very hungry?""I'm all right." Tang Ruochu took an apron from the wall and put it on. "Let me help you."Lu Shijin did not reject her and ordered, "Help me wash the Welsh onions and cut them up.""Yes, Sir!" Tang Ruochu saluted him mischievously.Lu Shijin chuckled as he looked at her dark pupils shining prettily like stars in the sky.Tang Ruochu was stunned by his beauty until Xiaoxiao's angry voice from out of the kitchen caused her to come back to her sense. She star
Just after they finished their food, Lu Shengyao and Ying Xiaoxiao were asked to leave before they could do anything more."After eating, it's time for the two of you to leave." Lu Shijin spoke in an emotionless tone.Since they had a sumptuous meal and since Chu returned peacefully, they had no reason to stay further and disturb their time together as a couple.Hence, Ying Xiaoxiao replied obediently, "Sure, sure, I will leave now."As she spoke, she waved to Tang Ruochu. After grabbing her bag, she left without any hesitation."Shijin..." Seeing that her good friend was being chased away, Tang Ruochu stared at Lu Shijin with dissatisfied eyes.However, Lu Shijin was unaffected. He glanced coldly at Lu Shengyao, who was still lingering around. "What about you?""I want to rest for a while more. I'm too full. Burp!" Lu Shengyao burped loudly, completely ignoring the dissatisfied glance of his brother."Then wash the dishes before you go."Before he could react to it, Lu Shijin
Scared, or afraid?Within the Ji manor, the stifling atmosphere in the living room suppressed everyone present."Yinfeng, I convinced the AR board of directors to help the Ji family through the crisis before. I also entered Times Entertainment News to help you deal with Tang Ruochu. However, it seems like I can no longer stay there anymore."Su Tian'ai seemed frightened when she mentioned Tang Ruochu."Cousin, you are involved in this matter as well. If you just leave us behind, how can I and the Ji family survive?" Ji Yinfeng didn't expect her to throw the Ji family under the bus to protect herself. He stared at her with dissatisfaction and hatred."Sure, cousin. This is not right. We are in the same boat now. If you wish to get off the boat, you shouldn't blame me if I decide to destroy it," Gu Ruoruo added on, threatening her."You..." Su Tian'ai stared at them furiously.The family had an unpleasant conflict at this juncture.A rational being always considers its own self-i
The drug that Gu Ruoruo had used to harm Tang Ruochu's father came from overseas. After Shijin did some thorough investigation, he finally got a very important clue.The drug was a newly-curated medicine produced in a private pharmaceutical research and development center in America. The drug had only been tested on animals and not on humans yet.However, even without a human trial, the drug had still managed to enter the black market.Gu Ruoruo had bought the drug from the black market. As to how she knew of its existence, only she herself knew the truth.Tang Ruochu sat on the sofa and flipped through the investigation results. Her brows were tightly furrowed and she looked a little solemn.After she finished reading, she looked up at the man who was standing by the French windows. "Shijin, how can we save my father?"Lu Shijin turned around and his thin mouth opened, "I've already contacted that pharmaceutical center. They have promised to develop an antidote."Hearing this,
