Chapter 28: The Vase Actress Who Is the Fake Heiress in Modern Society (28)

Su Jinnian’s embrace was left empty. Upon seeing Gu Qianxi’s attire, Su Jinnian realized exactly whose men’s suit jacket Xiandu had been wearing all along.

“Mr. Gu, you’re overthinking it,” Su Jinnian said, retracting his hand, though his fingers unconsciously curled into a fist. “Xiandu is a bit tipsy; I was just about to take her to get some rest.”

“No need. I will look after her.” With that, Gu Qianxi steadied Xiandu and began guiding her toward the lounge.

Su Jinnian stood frozen, watching them depart.

“Look at that—that is the bearing of Elder Li!” a young disciple of the Soul Light Sect whispered in admiration.

Being held by the waist in broad daylight, especially right at the entrance of the Qin residence, Liang Yuan felt a mix of shyness and a surge of happiness. Was he declaring her status to the world?

Providing them with the opportunity to learn was one thing, but how much they actually grasped would depend entirely on their own efforts.

If they were to bring in other contestants, it would be unfair to the rest, not to mention that such rehearsals would inevitably cut into their practice time.

Number Nine stepped away from the sofa and began a slow approach toward Mo Hai’s desk. With every step, Mo Hai felt his heart skip a beat; even with his century of cultivation and the inheritance he had gained from the Demon Realm, he could not muster a shred of courage to resist.

Then, Yin Dang’s palm struck out. As their palms met, the man’s entire frame shuddered as if struck by lightning.

Lin Xun’s words had filled Old Quan with such fighting spirit that he couldn’t wait to dive into the game, grab a shotgun, and wreak havoc.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yingying immediately grew displeased. What was he saying? Was he questioning her authenticity? Was he implying she wasn’t the biological daughter of her parents?

When Mo An’an encountered the space-time storm, she had been saved instantly, but her soul might have suffered trauma.

The White Tiger also sensed the gravity of the situation. He turned back to look at Jin Wu and, without waiting for him to speak, waved his hand and tucked him into one of his magical artifacts.

As for the situation with Zhu Yuncheng, he had essentially passed a death sentence on Sun Shigui. Zhu had made up his mind: once he returned, the first thing he would do was deal with Sun Shigui.

“Damn your grandmother! I’m Gao Jun, I’m right here—if you’ve got the guts, come at me!” Gao Jun roared, his voice filled with fury.

Yi Feng naturally ignored the mockery and derision. Even if he were a toad, the swan meat was already in his mouth.

Yi Feng understood their predicament, though he certainly didn't expect the siblings Miao Tian and Miao Ying to help him resolve the Purple Cloud Empire’s army.

Qi Baifeng felt a wave of nausea. He was disgusted not only by Jin Yujie’s shamelessness but also by his own insincerity—to think he could even utter such nauseating words.

Do you have any idea what this concept implies? In just three short days and with an investment of several hundred million, the Pandora Planet created a massive social empire.

Once Geng Dianchen made his move, the other six wolves followed suit, brandishing their weapons and rushing toward Zhen Jian once more.

Hai Sanpao was a bandit by trade and had never feared anything or anyone, but today he felt his courage fail him. Facing the glinting blades, he swallowed the obscenities he had been about to unleash.

Because of her work, Qian Yue’s days were never easy. In her spare time, she would call her mother-in-law, visit her parents, and if she had more time, she enjoyed sitting down with friends. Her life was simple and fulfilling.

The senior martial sister was momentarily stunned. Only then did she realize that the restrained Yue Fan was more dangerous than before—like a beast possessing human intelligence, a sight that sent a chill down her spine.

“Tell the family unit to notify Fengqin that she’s being reassigned. She won’t have to make tofu anymore,” Father Qiu said in a deep voice.

Seeing the fresh milk—which she usually didn't care for—she found herself unconsciously reaching out to touch her belly: Could it be that she was already...?

But Ale was truly drunk. When Yuyan laid him on the bed, he simply lay down obediently and fell asleep.
