Volume 1, Chapter 48: Merely a Defense Counsel

Situ Suinian stood face to face with her, and whatever he said caused her to lower her head. Her expression was obscured, though she was likely feeling shy.

When she looked at Situ Suinian, the gentle smile on her face was one that she had never once worn in front of him.

As she took the hair tie from his hand, her fingertips were slightly cool, and her expression was one of astonishment.

"Sister-in-law, you two chat, I'll go keep an eye on the two children." Yunxia smiled, nodded slightly, and walked aside.

In a flurry of panic, he had his son sent to the hospital, and the homeroom teacher had anxiously followed them there.

He was naturally well aware of what those people in the royal court were plotting. Relatively speaking, he had already grown too powerful to be controlled, and it was inevitable that they would try to weaken him. They certainly wouldn't grant him even the benefit of a single gold coin.

Merchants were accustomed to long-distance journeys and understood the limits of human physical endurance, but precisely because they understood, they found it all the more astonishing.

Both sides gave it everything they had, leaving no room to spare. From the very beginning, the battle escalated into a white-hot intensity.

This time he didn't speak, but instead placed more of my favorite dishes onto my plate. Yet I was truly full, though I still kept silent.

"Indeed, you are quite special. I never expected to cross paths with you again. What a pity that your wings are not yet fully grown, otherwise I really would be done for this time!" the prophet said with a sarcastic drawl.

In her past life, she was supposed to be married off in place of Chu Zhenzhen to the elderly emperor whose age was past sixty. The only one who opposed it was this seemingly aloof old dowager. However, by that time, the true authority in the household had already fallen into Qin Xue's hands, making the old dowager's opposition utterly useless.

Yang Jie's words were reasonable, advantageous, and firm yet tactful. They left the listeners feeling rather flustered inside, making them realize they truly needed to apply themselves to their work earnestly from now on.

After being brought to the hospital, Yi Jin remained in a deep sleep, and I stayed by his bedside the entire time. When I opened my eyes the next morning, I found myself lying on Yi Jin's hospital bed, while Yi Jin was nowhere to be seen.

"I waited a very long time after acquiring this prescription, but my man never came back. What a waste." The playful aura vanished. Although Sister Lin was still smiling, her words were heavily laden with bitterness.

Why wasn't anyone speaking? Was it an enemy? Or one of our own? Unable to see, Shen Yunli felt an even greater sense of insecurity. Recalling the moment he collapsed, he had truly thought he would be completely wiped out, or even lose his life. Yet now, it was evident that he had been saved.

Jiang Li signaled for Luoyan to leave; the memories belonging to them at this moment should not be disturbed. Luoyan knew clearly that Jiang Li probably did not want her tagging along while they reminisced. A thousand years ago, the wedding day of Shangshan ultimately became the sacrificial day of Ruobing, a tragedy deeply intertwined with her in ten thousand ways. In the Demon and Monster Valley, she had recalled fragmented memories, only to be imprisoned within dreams by Wuyan once again.

"But!" Ice Tooth was just about to retort when he was stopped by Kather. With a gentle wave of Kather's right hand and a flash of white light, Meixi appeared right before him.

A piercing gaze fell upon Murong Yan, and slender fingers reached out to touch her face with excessive boldness, immediately provoking an annoyed dodge from Murong Yan. Her retreating steps landed in the water with a splash, sending dark brown, vexing droplets flying in all directions.

Anna had prepared a table full of sumptuous dishes. Recently, Bai Yun would go straight to her after getting off work, and the two of them would always have dinner together.

When his father left last time, he had reprimanded him, telling him that if he failed to study diligently, he would be letting his mother down.

Afterwards, Kather asked the instructor a few more questions regarding the competition before heading with the others to the waiting room.

When Kather and Leining arrived at the academy cafeteria, they discovered that Linglin and the others were already sitting in their usual spot, chatting away. Because the academy was on holiday today, many students were absent, leaving their table as the sole occupants of the entire cafeteria.
