Chapter 88: Su Niannian’s Boyfriend

"Earlier, when you told me on the phone that Nian Nian would be coming over tomorrow morning, did she say what it was about?" Su Manman asked as she took a bag of snacks from the back seat and started eating.

"No. She only said to keep the morning free, but she didn't mention any specifics," Ye Feng answered honestly. Watching her nibble on the snacks, he found her incredibly cute.

...

"Mom, there’s no need for you to remind me of that. With you in the troupe, those rebels already hate me. Even if I wanted to get close to them, it would be impossible." Wu Chenfei spoke the truth. If it were not for the fact that his father was still involved in writing the scripts for the model operas, they would likely have been dragged out to be searched and paraded long ago.

Xia Nuanyan secretly got hold of the notebook. After only a few pages, she felt a chill crawl up her spine. Hardened by fear, she had already worked out a careful plan.

Dongfang Qiu gave an understanding smile. "Relax. I never do anything I am not sure of. There is a saying: when you live close to the river, you reach the moon first. The Yellow Oriole is not far from us anymore. Taking down their nest is only a matter of time. As long as we find their leader, everything becomes easy." Dongfang Qiu was determined to win.

Only after Su Qingyuan entered did she see the worry clouding her father's face, as though he were struggling over some grave decision. Su Qingyuan was deeply concerned that the decision might have something to do with her.

Sure enough, Su Qingwan's one sentence did the trick. Ye Jingxuan obediently left, and only then did Su Qingwan sit down. Not long after, they heard a great commotion outside the door. Looking out, she realized Bai Yi had arrived.

"So Zhuan Sunji decided to marry her?" Qin Qianjue frowned and slowly voiced his guess, word by word.

"I don't know." Qian Nan looked into the distance and gently shook her head. Some things need not be spoken aloud. Xia Nuanyan had granted her the greatest mercy; she understood that. But there were some people she could not bear to hurt. If she could choose, she would rather bear the blame herself than wound him.

Hua Shao caught Dongfang Qiu's gaze and immediately lowered his head, unable to meet it directly. He also felt a trace of embarrassment and guilt.

Of course, once this special ability was activated, it could indeed provide absolute safety. But it was also like placing oneself in a cage. While no outside attack could get in, he could no longer strike back.

"Sorry, these are all I have on me. Still, I do have plenty at home. A few days ago I raided a genuine tobacco and liquor wholesaler; I’ve got lots of Furong King, Nanjing, and Su Cigarettes. Not sure how you want to trade?" Chang Le blurted it out without hesitation.

At once, I glanced toward the living room and suddenly realized that the music was the one I had turned on in my own living room.

I knew why he spat. For a tech geek who relies on skimming jokes and watching adult films for mental sustenance and entertainment, that was only natural.

Suddenly, there was a crackling crash outside, as if something had been struck. Immediately after came a heavy muffled groan, and then the sound of someone falling to the ground.

Sure enough, when I went into the lingerie shop, I saw her sitting there. I immediately broke into a grin, but before I could even finish smiling, I saw that a handsome man was seated beside her. It was Ye Haoran. The girls were all staring at Ye Haoran with burning eyes, but he remained unmoved, his gaze lingering only on Yili Jue Luo.

I sighed and went to sleep as well. Nothing happened through the night. When I opened my eyes the next morning, I could not see a thing, as though my eyes had been wrapped in a towel.

As I was watching, a helicopter flew toward us. Peacock instantly went on alert, while Phoenix waved at it without a care.

Duanmu Qing looked haggard, his eyes dark as he stared at me. Beside his hand lay a cigarette, already burned halfway down.

He Qingmei looked twice, shook her head, and said she did not know. It seemed to be some bird feather from near Mount Lu, but she could not be certain.
