Seeing Deng Xiaojiao worry that she might look ugly without makeup, Cao Mang rolled his eyes and replied irritably, "This is the time when you look the most beautiful."

Deng Xiaojiao happily lowered her hands. "What's the use of being beautiful if no one wakes up early enough to appreciate it?"

"I respect you, that's why I didn't just..."

Shen Yuan nodded repeatedly, "Mm, alright," breathing a sigh of relief inwardly. Luckily she hadn't made that call; if she'd really had to do such a thing, she wouldn't have been able to bear it. It just felt too unscrupulous.

Gently removing his mask, Zodoro's handsome features instantly shone under the sunlight. Enjoying the play of light across his face, he finally felt truly alive.

Liang Xing and Wang Li were at a loss with her. After all, what Zhou Rui suffered was a broken heart, a shattered belief. Heart ailments must be healed by the heart; only the one who tied the knot can untie it. For someone whose heart was dead, words were like smoke drifting by, leaving no trace within Rui'er's soul.

When Chu Liangrao finished her yoga, Zhen'er brought her a moist towel to wipe her face, then lowered the curtain. Extinguishing the two lamps near the bed, she tiptoed out of the room.

Early the next morning at six, Su Jing drove to the Gong family to pick up her beloved son. The little one was still lazing in bed, unwilling to get up. Su Jing kept tickling him, and only then did he finally get up.

Seeing him, Su Jing's lips curled into a smile. She quickly picked up the spoon that still carried his warmth and fed him porridge.

Li Cangqiong noticed that her lips were always curved upwards, as if she were savoring the finest delicacies.

Hua Weilu felt as though struck by lightning, momentarily at a loss for how to react.

Because Emily had spoiled a soup, the four-dish-one-soup meal turned into four dishes only.

The cruel reality made Pei Guoguo freeze mid-sentence; it seemed the other party would have to apologize as well.

Jing Bai gave a bitter smile, "I know when the Kunling tribe faced disaster, you saved Ling'er, and ever since, she's had health issues. Now she's pregnant, and I see that Prince Jiang truly cares for her. In the future, she must rely on herself. Tell Ling'er to wait for my return."

In a spacious cave dwelling, the pallor gradually faded from Xiao Yichen's face, yet his breath remained unstable.

Ordinary cultivators of the Purple Mansion would be lucky to have one or two third-level magical weapons; how could they possibly assemble a whole set?

Xiao Yuanshan stared blankly at the clan leader, a foreboding sense rising within his heart.

"Perhaps the one throwing the rotten heads as embroidered balls is the ghost servant of this thing?" Li Qing mused.

If all else failed, they could still sever their connection to the entire formation, minimizing its backlash.

If she were the reincarnation of Wei'er’s soul, why was it that, when he approached her, he felt nothing special in his heart?

"It’s the eldest princess who wishes to see the elder. She said she has something important to discuss with you," Gu Yun said slowly.

Only the two major powers who had previously fought Ye Xuanqing were prepared, descending in person; otherwise, they might not have been able to suppress him.

He coughed softly twice, but Mu Jiaojiao seemed not to notice, her gaze still fixed on the Prince of Hejian for ages, unable to look away.

Shen Lishu, dazed and muddled, finished the wedding ceremony. When Fu Ya lifted her veil, the mind that had been restless and stubborn since her broken engagement finally began to clear. This man, whom she had met only once and who had been so easily reclaimed, was now the scholar destined to accompany her for a lifetime.

Additionally, our army lacks sufficient mortars and submachine guns, limiting our effectiveness in close combat against the enemy. On the battlefield at Nomonhan, we also suffered from a shortage of mosquito repellents; many Red Army soldiers, commanders, and even myself endured persistent mosquito problems for a long time.
