"Your family's Old Master certainly knows how to enjoy himself," Li Yuanjing said with a chuckle. Zhou Xiao cast a sideways glance at him, idly fiddling with the fork and knife in his hands. "Did you feed all your schooling to the dogs?" "What's the matter?" Li Yuanjing asked. "He is a man. I never knew you were interested in men as well." "What difference does it make whether it's a man or a woman? It’s just having fun on the outside anyway. Marry a low-maintenance wife at home, and out here…-

Zhou Xiao went upstairs, carrying the insulated food carrier in hand containing the medicine Yuqing needed to take. The lights inside the room were off, and Yuqing’s slender frame was sunken deep into the soft bed. He was fast asleep, a faint, delicate flush gracing his fair cheeks. Zhou Xiao recalled what Zhao Fu had just said: how he had run about with Boss Ruan entertaining guests since childhood... and how he had developed chronic ailments as a result. The sight of Ruan Yuqing curled…

The coal mines in Liu County of Shencheng had long been operated by a select group of wealthy merchants. The Land Administration Department held the land deeds tightly, refusing to let coal be transported out. The recently deceased Section Chief Wang had been fattened by these merchants to the point of rivaling a New Year's hog, aiding their monopoly so that anyone in the surrounding areas who needed coal was forced to buy at exorbitant prices. Now that Section Chief Wang was dead, whoever took…

Yuqing didn't know what piano piece was playing on stage; he had never studied Western music. Tonight was a celebration for Old Master Jiang's birthday, and the grand piano sat in the exact center of the hall. The spotlight illuminated Miss Jiang, making her the center of attention. Around them, the ambient light gradually faded, until Ruan Yuqing’s corner was enveloped in near darkness. Swirling the wine glass in his hand, Jiang Mao watched the crimson liquid ripple against the crystal. Without…

"Bad?" "If Men aren't bad, women won't love 'em~" Li Yuanjing leaned lazily against the leather sofa. "Zhou Xiao, what happened to you today? Did you offend your little stepmother? You look terrible." "What stepmother?" Zhou Xiao rolled his eyes at him, privately regretting whether he had been too cold to Yuqing earlier. "Isn't your father sick? Why does he still believe in taking in a concubine to ward off bad luck and bring good fortune? How is the new concubine? I haven't heard about your…

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…

"Young Master, please just give in," Deng Yongquan sighed from outside the window. "My father said that unless the Young Mistress gives the nod, no one is permitted to let you go." "Young Mistress, my ass! That's his own illicit lover—unable to take him in openly as a concubine, so he forces him onto me!" Zhou Xiao swept his arm across the table, sending the wedding pastries and sweetcakes crashing to the floor. His chest heaved with fury, his face flushed crimson. Outside the door, Deng…

(4) “Pregnant???” “Pregnant???” In the chief doctor’s office, two voices of disbelief rang out simultaneously—one purely incredulous, the other mixed with shock and anger. “Yes,” the chief doctor smiled as he handed over the test results to them, “Congratulations.” Su Yiran was stunned, still unable to process it. Pregnant? Pregnant with what? Who’s pregnant? Gu Yuanting snatched the test report, glanced at it but couldn’t understand it. He looked at the doctor and…-

(5) Three days later. As usual, Su Yiran got up early. After breakfast, he drove to the dessert shop. Just after getting out of the car, he saw Gu Yuanting standing at the dessert shop’s entrance and couldn’t help feeling a bit helpless. That day, after leaving the tea restaurant, Gu Yuanting insisted on sending him home and even wanted to stay over at his place, saying it would be more convenient to take care of him. Su Yiran refused. Unexpectedly, the next day when he opened the door, Gu…

As he drove past the spot in the community where he saw Gu Yuanting that morning, he instinctively looked out the window. The place was empty. Su Yiran breathed a sigh of relief, parked the car, got out carrying the cat cage, and looked down at the super cute kitten inside. His mood brightened immediately. Now he had a cat! This was a beautiful little Ragdoll kitten, both cute and clingy, three months old. Because it looked a bit silly, Su Yiran named it “Daidai” (which means…
