      AD CH22 Cover
      by Aria — Although several bosses were on the third floor just now, the commotion downstairs had been considerable, making it unlikely they hadn't heard. Even if they hadn't, their people were all over the first floor, and a single text message would have filled them in completely. When such a thing happened on the grand opening day, regardless of whether the bosses wanted to watch the drama unfold, they had to be tactful on the surface and make their leave. Feeling a stomach full of suffocating frustration,…

      AD CH33 Cover
      by Aria — It had been a long time since he last heard his mom's voice. Even though it was just over the phone, Shan Yu's heart still trembled slightly—there was longing, but also a sense of distance. Ever since he went inside, he had consistently refused visits from his parents. In fact, it wasn't just his parents; apart from Liu Wu, he hadn't seen anyone. The time he saw Liu Wu was only because Liu Wu was about to take his high school proficiency exams, and Shan Yu was worried a bad mood might affect his…

      AD CH76 Cover
      by Aria — : I forgot to remind you just now, your mom is still in the recovery period after all. If you're going to ask, don't be too blunt. Chen Jian typed out the sentence rapidly as he walked toward the kitchen. He didn't put his phone back into his pocket until he saw Shan Yu's reply. : I shall obey your teachings. "Hey, you're the store manager, right?" Two young women walked in through the garden's side gate and stopped Chen Jian. "Yes," Chen Jian answered and stopped. "I just wanted to mention…

      AD CH108

      AD CH108 Cover
      by Aria — Chen Erhu’s calm and affirmative answer caused a brief, abrupt pause in the room’s conversation. For a moment, it seemed no one knew what to say. Perhaps because everyone was standing right there with her, Sun Nana’s composure recovered slightly. She smoothed her hair, leaned against the table, and looked at her parents. Taking a soft breath, she said, "If you came here to persuade me, save your breath. I'm not going home. I'm not going back to his house, and I'm not going back to yours. I must…

      AD CH98 Cover
      by Aria — Although the red envelopes given to the guests were only ten yuan each, the effect was remarkably good. Every guest who came downstairs expressed their gratitude, and the message board was completely filled with "Happy New Year" wishes. Today, two hardworking agritainment farmhouses in the village opened for business, which immediately relieved quite a bit of cooking pressure on the inn. After having dumplings for lunch and prepping ingredients for dinner, Chen Jian accompanied his dad back to the…

      AD CH45 Cover
      by Aria — Shan Yu held the knife in one hand and pressed down on the back of Fang Xu's head with the other, his knee pinned onto Fang Xu's rear. Under the quilt, only Fang Xu's arms and legs could move, thrashing about desperately. Yet nothing could be seen—only the edge of the quilt rising and falling repeatedly, accompanied by Fang Xu's muffled shrieks and pleas for mercy underneath. Probably because his nose was pressed down, his voice sounded slightly distorted: "I was wrong, Shan Yu—ah—help—Yue…

      AD CH77 Cover
      by Aria — "Yes," his mom picked up her glass, swirling the shimmering liquid lightly. Looking into the glass, she sighed softly. "It's just that I didn't notice." Shan Yu rarely heard his mom sigh. In his mind, she had always been resolute and independent. "Actually, I also... didn't notice you were starting to get older," Shan Yu said. He could practically hear Chen Jian's voice in his ear: What are you saying, Boss! "Same here," his mom smiled. "If it weren't for getting sick this time, I wouldn't have…

      AD CH24

      AD CH24 Cover
      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 CH56 Cover
      by Aria — The soundproofing on Tang Rui's car was nowhere near as good as Yao Yi's. Sounds from outside filtered in clearly—people complaining about failing their tests, people on the phone, cars pulling in, cars pulling out... Amid the cluttered noise, Chen Jian could still hear his own heartbeat and breathing with pinpoint accuracy. Even the air he exhaled felt hot against his nose. He didn't dare glance toward Shan Yu, keeping his head down and staring intently at Shan Yu's hand. Even though it was…

      AD CH120 Cover
      by Aria — Chapter 120: Someone Comes Out (Extra 4) "Dad," Chen Jian looked at his dad, sliding the tissue box across the table toward him. "This thing... Sun Nana only went to talk to him this morning. We still don't know the outcome, or whether..." "I know what you mean," his dad pulled out a tissue and dabbed at his eyes. "Honestly, it doesn't matter whether we can get it back or not. It's enough for Dad to know you've been keeping it in your heart." He had kept it in his heart all along; every time he…
