Chapter 38: Unrequited Sentiment

Jiang Zhixun had just finished his mission; those words were merely an excuse to put her off.

Shen Qingqing understood.

As he turned to leave, she instinctively grabbed the man’s forearm. "Don't avoid the question."

Jiang Zhixun nudged his cheek with his tongue. "You came all the way to the Northwest just to divorce me?"

"What else?"

Jiang Zhixun’s expression turned grim. He gripped Shen Qingqing’s wrist tightly and asked through gritted teeth, "Three years ago, when we married..."

Watching her like this, Mo Jingchen felt a flicker of sympathy, yet the image of Xu Qiuhe tenderly peeling shrimp for her, watching her eat them one by one with a radiant smile, made it impossible for him to remain calm.

Seeing this, a wicked smirk curled at the corner of Mo Jingchen’s lips. He thought, "It seems Qin Xiao is still of some use; this unexpected approach is indeed effective."

With no resources left to distribute, the only chance for Wu Yingqi was to mobilize his troops and seize the throne right after Wu Sangui’s death. At that time, he still held the momentum of his victory at Zhuxian Town, and his subordinates were accustomed to obeying his commands.

Yari never joked with Haihai, likely out of consideration for her mood, Nanxi thought.

It could be said that becoming good friends with Li Leling meant one could invest in the East and West markets with their eyes closed and still make a fortune.

Zhou Yaotang couldn't help but recite a line, let out a sigh, and as she turned to leave, a clear male voice rang out from behind her.

Mo Jingchen could not bear to see her wronged, so he took her hand to lead her away, only to have Shen Xingyan grip his hand back.

If she wanted to compete in acting, then this young lady would play along to the end. Shen Xingyan began to sob softly, drawing the attention of passersby who stopped to watch.

The Sword Immortal saw the future, and it drove him mad. He boarded a ship for the Endless Sea, attempting to find a solution, but ultimately found nothing.

"Let me mimic a pigeon call for you!" Eight-year-old Mu Yuncheng squinted his eyes, his clean face bathed in the warm afternoon sun.

Lin Su’s conviction stemmed from the people; for matters that were fair to the public, no matter how difficult, Lin Su was determined to see them through.

Xia Bingyue’s heart roared: Why? Why is this happening? Why have I run into this annoying brat again? Was I so wicked in my past life that I am destined to be bullied in this one?

Meanwhile, in front of the commanders of the self-propelled artillery and rocket launchers already in their firing positions, a countdown clock began to tick. When it reached zero, it would be time to open fire.

"Then thank you." Lin Hongyan gave Hong Fei a charming smile and glanced at Liu Qing beside her. "It’s so hot today. I wonder if there are any popsicles or cold drinks for sale here." Lin Hongyan pulled a handkerchief from her handbag to wipe her forehead.

For a moment, Wei Suo truly wanted to turn around and walk away to find Leng Bingbing; at least the policewoman wouldn't leave him in such an anxious state.

"Since you don't know, go find out. First, help me check the formation!" After saying this, Sophia and Russell began to walk along the outer perimeter of the formation, inspecting every node and every line.

As if implying something, many people began to ponder deeply: why exactly did Zhan Guo have to make that expression, as if he were holding back a bladder of urine?

"Jilnass! Carloso! Why can’t you two annoying pests just die quietly!? Wouldn't that save both you and me a lot of trouble!?"

The facts proved that Gao Chuan not only lived up to expectations during the competition but exceeded them by far.

Clearly, Wu Wei didn't understand the situation at all; a friend had simply introduced him to a businessman in Fengchi County to see if they could cooperate, and he hadn't looked into it deeply.

Du Yun was captivated by her seductive smile, and for a second, a vivid scene flashed through his mind. But upon regaining his composure, he immediately dismissed the thought and suppressed the burning desire in his gut.

Xia Feng did not intend to deceive them, but there was no need to explain the complexities of the situation. Moreover, having secured a connection with Zhang Rang, who held power over the entire world, was far more effective than relying on Wang Yun. Regardless, as long as they were willing to defect to him, Xia Feng would never treat them poorly.
