Chapter 14: Late-Night Ice Cream Run
The sound of the engine roared to life.
The car sped away.
Inside the house, Yu Lian heard some noise, opened her eyes, and checked her phone – it was 2 AM.
Seeing that the man next to her was sound asleep, she got up and glanced outside through the window, unable to see much in the darkness. Still not at ease, she went to her son's room.
Hearing movement inside, she pushed the door open and found he...
Chapter 12: Unfamiliar
Sheng Ming Si's tone clearly lacked patience. "Shut up."
Gu Mingmei understood him very well; now was not the time for jokes.
"So, what's going on now? Can we leave?"
"You go first."
"Then you follow. Don't forget, you promised me."
Glancing once again at the dumbfounded beauty in his arms, Gu Mingmei smiled and left in her high heels.
The two suited bodyguards followed.
Jiang Zhong ...
Chapter 11: Seeing Her at a Glance
Almost instantly, his other hand mercilessly struck Jiang Zhong's wrist, making him release his grip in pain.
Jiang Chenchen was thus protected in Sheng Ming Si's embrace.
In his wide and pitch-black embrace.
Everything happened quickly. Being so close, the girl in his arms remained motionless.
However, Sheng Mingsi realized that he was holding the girl's waist, even though she was wearing quite a bit of...
Chapter 10: Are You Getting Married Here?
Who was that just asking?
The two were confused.
Jiang Chenchen, beside them, turned her head and looked at the person shrouded in black.
Suddenly, she nodded.
The man in black looked at her coldly through the sunglasses, finding it somewhat amusing.
Didn't expect to encounter her again.
The first time was in the psychiatric hospital, the second time in his car on a rainy nig...
Chapter 9: Farce
Zhang Lanmei was stunned, staring at Jiang Chenchen in disbelief. However, her eyes were lifeless, as if made of wood.
So, what did she want to do with the porcelain shard she handed over?
Make her take action...?! Zhang Lanmei was frightened, and she swatted away the porcelain shard in her hand. "No, don't do this!"
She had never thought of, and absolutely dared not do, such a thing!
However, the porcelain shard cut her own hand.
Staring a...

The sooner, the better.
The next three days went smoothly.
Jiang Zhong also hoped to end it quickly, avoiding any unnecessary complications. So, he immediately nodded with a smile.
"Listen, don't mess things up again!"
Jiang Zhong hung up the phone, sat on the sofa, and ordered Zhang Lanmei, who had just returned after getting an injection, "It's noon. Prepare some good food and wine. Today, I want to have a good drink with him!"
"But,...

"Who are you?"
Sheng Mingsi glanced at the person outside the car with a cold and direct tone.
At the same time, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the part of the car window where Jiang Zhong had just approached, showing impatience in his movements.
Jiang Zhong couldn't care less and hurriedly said, "I am her uncle, and she is my niece. She got lost after we finished eating at the restaurant in front. It took a while to find he...

He didn't plan to dwell on this topic and wanted to ask the question he cared about more.
Before he could speak, Jiang Chenchen had moved closer. Her wet hair stuck to her face, and water droplets slid down her fair skin.
She closed her eyes, and as the drops rolled down her cheeks into her collar, Sheng Mingsi couldn't comprehend why she approached him suddenly. His brows remained furrowed as he watched her. She formed a fist ...

Jiang Zhong was excited by Mr. Li's words, poured a glass of wine, and offered a toast, "Mr. Li, as long as you approve, everything will be settled. We'll be relatives in the future, and we'll rely on you more."
Li Zhenhai laughed and clinked glasses with him, "No problem, no problem."
Mrs. Li also smiled, "When I find a good day, let's directly register for marriage. No need for the cumbersome engagement ceremony."
"Then, it's up to Mrs. Li."
**Chapter 4: Meeting**
Jiang Chenchen had already climbed up from the grass, seemingly unharmed.
Jiang Zhong's suppressed anger immediately erupted. He couldn't stand such unruly behavior, even if she was mentally ill!
He rushed over, intending to give her a slap. Zhang Lanmei followed behind, unable to stop him, and shouted loudly, "Ah Zhong, don't hit her! You can't!"
Jiang Jie'er, hiding in the corner of the room upstairs, watched everything with indifference.
**Chapter 3: Descending from the Rooftop**
Jiang Chenchen washed quickly, only blow-drying her hair halfway. She put on the white dress prepared by Zhang Lanmei—a slightly thick fabric that highlighted her well-proportioned figure, making her exceptionally attractive.
In her simple and clean appearance, there was an extraordinary allure.
Zhang Lanmei was ready to compliment her, but she saw Jiang Chenchen's gaze passing by Jiang Jie'er and then walking toward her.

Jiang Chenchen stared at the numerous ice creams in front of her but didn't reach for any.
She lowered her gaze, and in those seemingly calm eyes, a hint of pain emerged.
Abruptly, she closed her eyes, covered her head with both hands, and crouched on the ground. She remained silent for a long time.
Painful and quiet?!
Sheng Mingsi didn't know what had triggered her, and he didn't have much patience. He knew it was unlikely to ...

The Imperial Capital, Wang Jiao Pavilion Mental Hospital.
Overcast sky.
In the courtyard where patients were allowed to move around, there was someone stationed to watch over. A girl had been leaning against the wall, looking up at the sky for the entire morning.
She had a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, an oval face, and outstanding features. However, her eyes were hazy and dull, lacking the usual luster, and her face remained expressi...

She neither laughs nor cries, her face devoid of expression.
Like an exquisite wooden beauty.
Later, it was rumored that this beauty had escaped from a mental hospital.
People in the circle made fun of her, saying she'...

Xiao Shi smiled and said, "Yesterday when I got back, I told my husband about what happened at the poetry gathering. As soon as he heard that Mountain Dweller's true identity had been revealed, he said things wouldn't be good for you this morning. So here we are, waiting by the city gate as soon as it opened."
Shu Yu chuckled, turned to Meng Yunzheng, and said, "Xiang Weinan seems to know you quite well."

Seeing the return of the big rabbit bag, Mengmeng happily bounced over and said, "Daddy, you're amazing."
Meng Yunzheng smiled, patted her head, and urged her to go to bed soon.
Then he turned to Shu Yu and said, "Let's pack up; we'll leave the capital early tomorrow."
Shu Yu chuckled, "Do we really need to rush like this?"
Meng Yunzheng looked at her helplessly, "What do you think?"

Meng Yunzheng never expected his disguise to drop in such an unexpected situation. He looked down at his still aggrieved little daughter and couldn't help but rub his forehead.
Then he turned to the students who were still hoping for an answer, let out a sigh, and nodded, saying, "Yes, I am Mountain Dweller."
Without waiting for them to ask all their questions, he crouched down and said to Mengmeng, "Your big bunny is...

When Meng Yunzheng left the palace, the sky had already turned completely dark.
Today was the last day of the lecture at the academy, and he wouldn't need to attend tomorrow. Therefore, after the lecture ended, a banquet was arranged in the palace. After having dinner, he was summoned by the Emperor for a private meeting.

Huohuo shot him a glance, not wanting to remind him that she had said the same words before.
Sure enough, Mengmeng waved her hand and said, "That's not important."

The students naturally noticed the danger here, fearing that Senior Yan and Mengmeng would be pushed off the bridge. However, they also worried that rushing in would worsen the situation. So, they stood at the entrance of the corridor, blocking others from coming this way along with the teahouse staff.
Shu Yu's gaze fell on Pan Senior Brother at the outermost circle and shouted, "Pan Yi, catch!"

As soon as Shu Yu heard what Mengmeng said, she smacked her forehead hard.
It was over; Ah Yun's secret identity was completely exposed.
She never expected that Meng Yunzheng had hidden this alias for so long and that her own daughter would reveal it. That painting and the seal were both the result of his indulgence in letting his daughter play with them.
The situation was not looking good. She turned to Yin...

People crowded around to see and couldn't help but chuckle.

Luckily, since that incident, Mengmeng had developed a habit of carrying her masterpiece with her. Now, the painting was inside the bunny-shaped bag she carried on her back.
Eager to prove her abilities, she immediately asked Senior Brother Qiao to take the painting out of her bag.

"Um." Little Mengmeng nodded vigorously. "My eyes are big, so I can see clearly."
