"Don't worry, you won't win," Evelyn Bert said with a smile.She would fall for him? Absolutely not!However, Lu Li didn't believe a single word of what she said: "If you don't listen to the elders, you'll suffer the consequences, my dear.""May I ask how old you are this year?" Evelyn Bert asked, tilting her head and smiling lightly.Although he was a bit foolish, he did bring her a lot of joy.After exchanging some playful banter with Lu Li, Evelyn Bert heard the butler Zhou calling her. She said, "I have to go now, it's time for dinner. Thanks for helping with the trending topic on Weibo last time, and happy New Year."Lu Li had helped her handle the trending topics on Weibo, and she hadn't had a chance to thank him until now."Happy New Year, big boss! Remember to send the New Year's gift on time!""Don't worry, I won't forget yours," Evelyn Bert smiled helplessly.After hanging up the phone, Evelyn Bert got up and walked towards Butler Zhou."What is it?"Butler Zhou re

There were still matters left unresolved, and she definitely couldn't sleep now.Orville Quiller looked at her and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping?"He remembered that the young girl used to love sleeping. Why wasn't she sleeping now? Had she suddenly come to a realization?Evelyn Bert met the man's deep, dark eyes and simply said, "The courtyard."At these two words, Orville Quiller immediately recalled what the young girl had told him in the ancestral hall last night. A shadow crossed his handsome face as he said, "There's no need to rush. You can go to sleep first.""No!" Evelyn Bert rejected without hesitation, explaining, "If this matter isn't resolved quickly, I won't be able to sleep."That eerie feeling had been lingering around her. It was already a miracle that she managed to sleep last night. Besides, if she didn't know, she could still deceive herself, but now that she knew, there was a knot in her heart. She wouldn't feel at ease until this matter was settled.Seein

This is like cheating right in front of them!Although they hadn't expected to win much money when Orville Quiller brought Evelyn Bert over, they certainly hadn't anticipated losing their last pair of underpants!!!But aside from forcing a smile and continuing to act as the group's charity case, they had no other choice. They could only watch helplessly as the chips in front of Evelyn Bert piled up into a small mountain.Just as they thought they would have to write another IOU today, Evelyn Bert's phone suddenly rang."Sorry, I need to take this call," Evelyn Bert apologized to Huo Zixuan and the others, then took her phone and left.The remaining few looked at Orville Quiller, hesitating to speak. Finally, it was Huo Zixuan who broke the awkward silence."Orville Quiller, do you want to play?" Huo Zixuan asked.Orville Quiller shook his head. "No, I don't."Dennis Walkley and Calvin Beck were passionate about mahjong, but he wasn't interested in it."Alright, let's wait for

Evelyn Bert naturally overheard their conversation, but at this critical moment, she couldn't afford to be distracted. She focused intently on the five sculptures positioned in different directions. Her delicate, fair face grew increasingly solemn, and her movements became even more cautious. Soon, the medium connecting the five sculptures was revealed before her eyes.The nearly transparent silver threads interlocked, tightly binding the five sculptures together.Evelyn Bert gently touched one of the silver threads, and instantly, all five sculptures began to move in unison.Observing this phenomenon, Evelyn Bert withdrew her hand, stood up, and a look of understanding appeared on her exquisite face. She murmured softly, "Tsk, I thought it would be much more difficult, but it's nothing special..."She had initially thought that the Five Ghosts Transport Technique would be quite a challenge, but now it seemed not as troublesome as she had imagined. At least, she could handle it a

How did he know she wanted to touch?Pfft! She didn't want to touch! Not at all, okay?!"What are you thinking about?" He Qingya leaned closer to Evelyn Bert, as if trying to see through her eyes into her heart.Evelyn Bert didn't know why, but she felt somewhat overwhelmed when facing such a He Qingya.She closed her eyes and opened them again, and the tea-brown eyes were already clear.He Qingya saw her change in his eyes. He didn't like the distant and calm appearance of the little girl. He liked his little girl to be happy and carefree every day."Do you want to go for a walk?""Where?"He Qingya loosened his arms around her waist, got up and tidied his slightly wrinkled clothes. His thin lips parted: "To watch fireworks."On New Year's Eve, there would be a fireworks show in the capital city."Fireworks?"Evelyn Bert didn't understand why he suddenly thought of taking her to watch fireworks. Was it to ease the awkwardness just now?He Qingya didn't know what the little
