Chapter 162: One Cannot Choose a Partner Younger Than Oneself

Yang Siwei coughed lightly and followed closely behind Beside Qi Hui Hui: "President Wang, I feel the same!"

"No need to refuse so hastily," Wang Zonglei said with a chuckle. "People climb to higher ground, water flows to lower places."

"President Wang Jinghua's side is, after all, not a film production company."

"Huayi is the stage truly suited for you."

"Well said, so well said that I'm moved..." Beside Qi Hui Hui's smile did not change: "One day when I decide to leave, Huayi will certainly be my...

I am working hard to fix the chaotic chapters ahead; I have now caught up to chapter 158, but I still owe several chapters. Please wait a few days before reading again; after buying the chapters, just refresh the page.

A young man hugged tightly the child Tianming Nine had saved before, namely Yan'er.

Afterwards, Lu Chengxuan never mentioned the name Qian Jiao'er in public again; even Chunyan did not know when she had become acquainted with Qian Jiao'er, nor when their bond had grown so deep. How did Sheng Jiayuan know?

With a "hum," the weapon let out a mournful cry. The man lost his grip, and the weapon vanished instantly; by the time he blinked, it had flown into Tianming Nine's hands.

Although Sister Ling does not mind, I cannot harm her. A man who knows only how to enjoy himself without considering the other is no better than a pig or a dog.

Inside the great hall, the atmosphere was majestic. Gao Li, the Empress, and the Imperial Concubine sat at the head. The selection of consorts had been underway for some time; clearly, this emperor's patience was nearly exhausted. Those who performed well, came from good families, or were good-looking had already appeared first; the rest were merely trying to fish in muddy waters.

The Sheng family is in Langhuan; Third Grandmother Sheng is in Langhuan. Yunnan is the fief of the Prince of Pingnan. Yunnan is far, yet not so far that one cannot return. Could it be because of the late Prince of Pingnan's passing that Third Grandmother fears being reminded of the past by the scenery, and thus does not wish to return?

Two Qing envoys, dragging pigtail braids, appeared before Luoyang City. The envoys claimed to be sent by their master, Dorgon, and repeatedly emphasized to Liu Fangliang that once their master captured Beijing and pacified the world, he would enfeoff Liu Fangliang as the King of Henan, a Baturu of the Han Eight Banners, and award him ten thousand taels of gold.

"That's wonderful. From now on, when Brother comes, you won't have to sleep on the floor; I'll share half my bed with you." Jin Yue immediately became overjoyed.

Yu Wan'er bit her lip. Although she did not continue speaking, the look in her eyes as she gazed at Lu Chengxuan was full of resentment.

Among the parents coming and going to pick up their children, he stood out remarkably. It was not only his handsome appearance, but also his all-black suit and the chilling aura that radiated from him. People instinctively kept their distance, making even this summer evening unusually cold.

My roommate hurriedly ran to the window; I curiously followed. It turned out she was waiting to see that man.

Colson spoke, then secretly glanced at Wang Kai, checking Wang Kai's reaction, seeing whether Wang Kai would feel any guilt.

Qin Fang Bai always maintained a tacit approval of what she did; he would not interfere, nor would he let her know he had learned the truth from Xu Ling. Before the two met, Xu Ling made some arrangements.

He was startled by my attitude, his hand frozen in mid-air, his eyes holding an emotion akin to injury. How funny... the one truly injured was me.

"Why don't you ask him?" Yan Li's eyes grew even colder. Ling Miao struggled to hide behind Ji Linxi, but Ji Linxi grabbed her and pulled her out.

Without looking, I could imagine Liu Xin's flustered state right now; perhaps she too was secretly annoyed by her own loss of composure just now.

Su Yingmei turned around and looked at Ke Yumei. Handing Nini to Ke Yumei, she truly felt at ease.

The two children looked at her, then together looked at the camera, blinking their identical large eyes: "We want to ask everyone, why do people speak ill of our daddy and mommy being together?!" the two children said in unison.

On the eighth day since she moved in, uninvited guests arrived at the villa. Qin's mother and Qin Mengyao made a grand, dignified entrance. Xu Ling happened to be out on business; the housekeeper dared not stop them and let them in.
