Chapter 53 Heartache for Her

Back in the home country, the sky was faintly turning light.
The man in bed was awakened by the continuous buzzing of his phone. Groggy and half-asleep, he reached out blindly and answered the call without even looking at the screen.
"Are Zeng Zihao and Ning Lu together?" Ah Jiu's voice jolted Lu Hongyu awake.
Lu Hongyu suddenly opened his eyes, sat straight up, and checked the time on his phone—it was a little past five in the morning.
......
She never expected that after just a few days apart, this bitch would already be scheming so much in her heart. Had she known earlier, she should have just had someone kill this scourge.
Therefore, having lost the match, Wang Sheng figured his family was wealthy anyway, and he didn't have to stay in Academy City.
When Yun Yerong heard from the guards that Fu Chen was not looking for her and was instead hosting a banquet at his estate, she thought to herself that if Fu Chen refused to show up, she would simply declare that she was not the Princess Consort of Kong, but a troublemaker, and immediately ride out of the city to catch up with her third brother.
Hearing this, Lu Yuansheng got excited all over again, feeling like someone going to a wet market only to find marbled wagyu beef—normally costing thousands—being given away for free! Oh, the sheer delight was simply beyond words.
Seeing his expression suddenly turn pale, with a faint trace of a lost look, Shen Shuyu hurriedly asked what was wrong.
After some polite pleasantries, Gu Zheng followed Mother Song through the door. Yet no matter how he scanned the room with his eyes, he could not find a trace of Song Jingyu.
In the living room, Song Jingyu was sprawled across the sofa like a salted fish, leaning against the backrest with zero poise, her long legs stretched out and resting on the carpet.
Meanwhile, the nanny who had accompanied Xie Beineng had already returned to the Empress Dowager's side, leaning close to her ear to whisper a few words.
The fat bamboo rat endured it for a moment before struggling with a distorted body, tears streaming down its face. The surrounding bamboo rats pointed at Wang Youcheng while chittering noisily, as if scolding him for being a pervert.
"This shouldn't count as official public expenses, right?" Du Ruo picked up the inventory list to take a look, then placed it back on the table.
Xue Tian knelt before the deputy of Elder San Yan. When he raised his head, a trace of white viscous fluid still lingered at the corner of his mouth.
"The Fourth Young Master Qin is the one who brought me here just now, though I have no idea what his background is," Gu Chengjun asked the few of them.
"What? Are you here to look for him?" The Emperor's smile grew slightly stiff, but he quickly returned to his usual composure.
Xie Longlin had not expected that anyone present would still be unaware of Ao Chen's identity. Realizing he had spoken out of turn, he stood there in a somewhat embarrassed stupor.
"Everyone, please watch closely. I am holding weapons refined by two different weapon smiths in each of my hands. The test to see which weapon is superior is actually quite simple—like this," the elder of Ziyang Island said in a clear, resonant voice. Holding a weapon in each hand, he then forcefully smashed them together.
The two of them headed straight for the village chief's house. As soon as they saw the village chief, the man flashed his work ID—director of the first workshop of a certain textile mill, stamped with a large red official seal.
"So you are the Young Sect Master of the Three Immortals Gate! A pleasure to meet you!" Ye Qianxun was also startled as she looked at Mo Mo approaching.
I watched as Canghuan, clad in his five-colored divine armor, displayed incredible divine might, yet in my mind, I inexplicably thought of the five-colored divine light around Cheche. Both possessed a five-colored luster, and their functions seemed somewhat similar. Could it be, could it be that there was some connection between the two?
A bulky physique, a ruthless appearance, coupled with black leather clothes, black leather boots, and black sunglasses, became the standard cinematic outfit for this global superstar.
Back in the cave, Ye Yuan had felt the exact same interference, which had made it nearly impossible for the Xio terminal to communicate. Yet at that time, Ye Yuan could at least sense the presence of that powerful extraterrestrial being in the forest, unlike now, where he couldn't use his perception at all.
"What are you all looking at? Hurry back to the high ground and repair the tanks!" Er Gou, understanding Xuan Chen's intentions well, promptly ordered the onlookers to disperse. Not long after, as the mighty procession of tank squads successively cleared out, Xuan Chen directly scooped Angela up into his arms, and Angela naturally hooked her legs around Xuan Chen's waist.
