"What? Double the compensation? Can't I just pay what you're owed?"
Now, her walk was becoming increasingly cumbersome, so much so that by the time she reached the car, she was already breathless from her trip out.
Bai Yi found it rare to see Xu Ling like this, her willful, proud, and unrestrained demeanor. Bai Yi cherished this moment especially.
Mu Xin suddenly looked at Duan Gaoming, only to be startled. He saw that Duan Gaoyang's eyes were not right, showing a mixture of helplessness and nervousness. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and ask, "Young Hero Fu, why do you have such an expression? Do you happen to know these two young ladies?"
At the dinner table, Xu Ling was stunned for a long time. As if deep in thought, she picked up her chopsticks, put them down, and then suddenly started talking to her parents.
Just as Ji Jiabin was scrolling through WeChat on his phone, his shoulder was suddenly patted heavily.
Except for one man clutching his broken wrist and groaning softly, everyone else was obediently gathered together.
At this moment, the most important thing wasn't to show off, but how to appease Tiantian and make her forgive him for what he had done that morning.
Yun Yun feigned shyness, her face pale, looking extremely weak. She couldn't muster the energy to think about anything else, yet what she said made people's minds wander.
Zhao Ze, riding in Ji Jiabin's car, sent a message to Molly on the way, informing her about the dinner with Ji Jiabin and Xiong Xiangmin that evening.
"As for the improvement of strength, we haven't found any reliable patterns yet. High-level combat power could previously be improved through intense training, and top-tier barriers could be broken through in the crucible of life and death. But breaking through the realms beyond the top-tier is too difficult."
Upon hearing this, Madam Yang hurriedly exchanged pleasantries with the Grand Madam. Without excusing herself to anyone else, she was rushed away, surrounded by the Yu family and their retinue.
As the lord and it being a day of great joy, although the generals knew Liu Feng was easygoing, they dared not easily ply him with wine. Moreover, the alcohol content of the wine in this era was quite low, so Liu Feng handled it with ease. His current drunken appearance was half an act.
After chatting about trivial matters with Ma Ting, it was already late into the night. Because they had to host the three major families the next day, Liu Feng had to get some sleep to recuperate. He had intended to let Ma Ting stay overnight at Jingxiu Garden, but Ma Ting adamantly refused, saying he had to go back and prepare gifts for the next day. Liu Feng then sent someone to escort him back.
Lu Bu, suspended in mid-air, twisted his waist and halted his movement in the air. He then swung his halberd, much like a great saber, and cleaved down towards Guan Yu.
Inwardly, Jun Li hadn't held much hope for Jun Jue's trip to the Jin Mansion. The reason she repeatedly asked Jun Jue to go to the Jin Mansion was more to allow him to develop a further relationship with Jin Ruoheng. She hadn't expected that an unintentional act would yield results; Jun Jue's trip to the Jin Mansion had indeed not been in vain.
Before she could finish speaking, Rong Zhan said with a grin, "Where has it gotten bigger by a circle? Let me feel." As he spoke, he reached out and touched Jun Li's face. He found it incredibly smooth and delicate, like touching the finest mutton-fat jade. The moment he touched it, he couldn't bear to let go.
The shop assistant immediately and skillfully fished out the piece of meat for her. Unlike how other customers were treated, he didn't ask if she wanted it cut. Instead, he wrapped it up directly.
"It's just 'inherited' then"? Jun Li inwardly gave a bitter smile. Mother Tan spoke too lightly, but she had no idea how much effort she had put in to force Jun Bogong to agree to this matter. It wasn't as simple as her saying it shouldn't be inherited for it not to be. Wouldn't all her previous efforts be in vain then?
