TAMW CH27

by DewdropTL — The ancestral hall of the Zhou residence was where Zhou Xiao had often been made to kneel in punishment as a child. He would kneel upon a prayer mat, incense burning in his grasp, waiting for it to burn down to ash. Back then, all Zhou Xiao could think about was when the First Madam would finally drop dead. Later, Yuqing had also knelt frequently on that very mat, though what occupied his mind was how the Eldest Young Master might end up dying somewhere out in the world. A dense haze of incense smoke…

by DewdropTL — The Ruan mansion was brightly lit. When the two stepped out of the car, Chamber of Commerce President Song Xiaochang stood personally at the entrance to receive them. He had already met Yuqing back when Qingming Bank was preparing to join the Chamber of Commerce. At that time, Yuqing was an unfamiliar face in Baizhou’s business circles. He paid his Chamber taxes on time, established a private bank, and offered banking products with higher interest rates than state banks. In a short period, Qingming…

TAMW CH29

by DewdropTL — Zhou Xiao pressed his forehead lightly against Yuqing’s, their noses touching. In the corner of his vision, the dancing flames seemed almost like the red wedding candles from the night they were wed. Yuqing drew in a deep breath. The bewilderment in his eyes deepened—not with hazy mist, but with a glittering sheen of moisture reflecting in the dark. All along, he had assumed that his endurance and calculating patience were the ultimate strategies. At the harbor that day, Zhou Xiao had…

TAMW CH30

by DewdropTL — The late nights in the Zhou residence had been steeped in silence for many years. With early winter setting in, the paper lanterns hanging along the corridors turned brittle from the frost, clattering against the eaves in the biting wind as though their inner candlelight might burst into open flame at any moment. Yuqing’s slender neck rested against the wooden pillow, arched back at a soft, vulnerable angle. His chin was tilted up, and what met his eyes was not the canopy of the bed, but the…

TAMW CH31

by DewdropTL — The grooves of every single date pit had already been worn smooth, polished to a fine, glossy luster. They were all pits that Zhao Fu had caught personally from his master's hand. Zhou Xiao’s peripheral vision swept over the servant's quarters, while his gaze fixed dead on the scattered pits on the floor. Custom dictated that masters did not easily set foot in the servants' rooms. No one cared where a domestic lived, nor what kind of trinkets he kept. No one knew when Zhao Fu had begun hoarding…

TAMW CH16

by DewdropTL — Zhou Xiao narrowed his long, slender eyes. The itch at his Adam's apple felt like ants crawling outward from the blood vessels of his heart—a maddening itch that could neither be scratched nor satisfied. He lowered his face, the tip of his nose gently resting against Yuqing's. Yuqing still carried the scent of jasmine, but now with a faint lingering sweetness on his lips from the cream cake they just had. Zhou Xiao said, "No, you don't want to." Yuqing Qing let out a muffled laugh, lightly…

by DewdropTL — The kraft paper bag was only the size of a palm. It was only by the light of the streetlamps outside the car window that the packaged cake inside could be seen. Perhaps because the cream had just been whipped, the edges of the pink flowers on top were delicate and sharp. A gentle touch of a fingertip revealed it was soft, spongy, and carried a rich, sweet fragrance. Yuqing looked at the cake, then at Zhou Xiao outside the car, feeling a genuine urge to laugh from the bottom of his heart. Zhou Xiao…

TAMW CH2

by DewdropTL — Zhou Xiao was visibly stunned. A young master freshly returned from studying abroad truly could not conceal his thoughts; the astonishment in his eyes was laid bare without restraint. Ruan Yuqing’s beautiful eyes lingered on Zhou Xiao for merely a fleeting moment as his gaze shifted. Ten red candles were lit throughout the room. While hardly radiant, they symbolized perfection and completeness in marriage. This secluded bedchamber had been newly refurbished—cloaked in festive red yet bathed in…

by DewdropTL — Yuqing returned to the Zhou residence. Butler Deng mentioned that the Second Uncle had indeed come by these past few days to look over the account books. "What is he looking at the account books for?" Yuqing asked. "The Chamber of Commerce is about to begin its presidential election. He's likely canvassing for votes. When the time comes, bosses from all trades in Baizhou City will cast their ballots, so calling in favors is inevitable." Yuqing remarked, "With the Ruan family backing him, does…

by DewdropTL — Early morning, the sky was just turning a dim grey. Yuqing heard the chamber door open, followed by a loud bang as it slammed shut again. The man had stormed off as if laden with deep resentment, closing the door so violently that the frame nearly shattered from the impact. Outside, Deng Yongquan, who had been waiting for a long time, could be heard chasing after him and shouting: "Eldest Young Master, Eldest Young Master, where are you going? The Young Mistress is..." "Get lost!" The…
