AD CH32

by Aria — Chen Jian had asked the question quite naturally, just a casual inquiry. However, Shan Yu's response made him pause, leaving him unable to continue the conversation. My question didn't cross any boundaries. You were the one who crossed boundaries with your answer. To avoid the awkward silence of an uncontinued conversation, Chen Jian lowered his head and took a large bite of his burger, slowly eating in silence. "I was very unruly when I was little." Shan Yu didn't continue eating his…

AD CH31

by Aria — Identical? Chen Jian instantly felt the bracelet in his hand growing a bit too hot to handle—it felt awkward either to hold it or to put it down. He could only hold it in his hand, pretending to examine it carefully. If they're identical, why did you go to the trouble of putting them in two different boxes? "They're different," Liu Wu said. "I specifically used two different boxes to store them." Chen Jian breathed a sigh of relief, quickly sweeping his eyes toward Shan Yu's hand. Then…

AD CH30

by Aria — Because Chen Erhu’s lackeys had long witnessed their boss being repeatedly beaten up by Chen Dahu, they were not only afraid of Chen Dahu, but also somewhat fearful of the people around him. When Chen Jian blocked the guys at the door, Lao Si and Lao Wu didn't dare to come straight over, but they did summon their courage to stand two meters behind Chen Jian, forming a triangle formation with him. "This doesn't look much like a 'welcome', does it?" Thug A said, taking a step up the stairs and going…

AD CH29

by Aria — What on earth was he talking about! Whether it was because he was tired today or something else, Chen Jian felt a faint ringing in his ears. For a few seconds, he couldn't even hear clearly what Shan Yu was saying. His ears were entirely filled with a buzzing noise. It wasn't until Shan Yu sat back down by the edge of the bed, snapped his fingers at him, and called out once more: "Manager Chen!" Only then did he snap back to his senses, pull a chair over from the side, and sit down by the…

AD CH28

by Aria — Chen Jian's mind was still a chaotic mess at this hour. He felt quite remorseful that he had been sleeping the whole way back, failing to come up with a normal excuse for the swollen red palm mark on Shan Yu's face in advance. Like getting beaten up by security for crashing a wheelchair into a claw machine in an arcade. "He..." Fixated by Sanbing's eyes, which were filled with gossip and a craving for knowledge, Chen Jian felt rather uncomfortable, feeling that Sanbing might guess in the very next…

AD CH27

by Aria — Was he crazy? Is it totally over now? During the few minutes while the server went to fetch the Cola, there was no sound whatsoever inside the private room. Shan Yu's mind was chanting in various tones back and forth: It's over— It's completely over— Done for— Finished— Chen Jian hadn't made a single movement either. After delivering that slap, he had entered a state of being completely frozen solid. Shan Yu could tell he was waiting. The initial shock and fury had already…

AD CH26

by Aria — Chen Jian had truly never expected that he would be thrown off by a wheelchair. In truth, the wheelchair wasn't moving that fast, but his mental calculation hadn't given it enough margin; before the wheelchair had surged forward more than a few meters, he had been shaken loose. Yet in the very next instant, he gave chase for a few steps and grabbed hold of the wheelchair with a firm grip. "Stop, stop, stop," Shan Yu said. "Let go. If a scuffle breaks out in a moment, we'll draw the security guards…

AD CH25

by Aria — On the evening of Dayin’s opening ceremony, the staff had already cleaned everything inside and out. The firecracker debris along the roadside out front was cleared away early the next morning. Hu Pan stood on the road with her hands on her hips. "Should we have left a little bit of a trace? It looks too clean." "No need. If we leave it, people can tell at a glance that we’re brand new, and they might doubt how professional our service is," Sanbing said, also standing with his hands on his…

AD CH24

by Aria — Chen Jian couldn't figure out for a moment what Shan Yu was thanking him for, but he smelled alcohol, and his attention was immediately diverted. Shan Yu's glass contained Chinese hard liquor. "Aren't you forbidden from drinking alcohol?" He took the glass and smelled it again, confirming it was indeed white liquor. Luckily it was a tiny shot glass. If it were that teacup Chen Erhu was holding, a single glass would have killed Shan Yu on the spot. "I didn't take my medicine today," Shan Yu…

AD CH23

by Aria — Chen Jian didn't go straight downstairs. Instead, after going down one floor, he turned into the third-floor hallway and tapped his keycard to open the door to Room 306. It was almost lunchtime, and everyone was downstairs on the first floor waiting to be fed with their mouths watering. He wanted to find a quiet place to stay for a little while—the kind of place where no one would walk in. During those days when Zhenxi was closed, all the rooms here had been very quiet. He used to stay in Room…
