Chapter Twenty-Two: Divine Matchmaker Guard Geng

Now Ye Cheng was certain that Su Chan had not deceived him. That gave him every reason to help her. After all, Su Chan would be his employee in the future. If a boss wants to accomplish things but treats his own employees badly, who else would ever wholeheartedly work for him? As for what Geng Zhongcheng had mentioned about her... She was never one to cling desperately to others. Born proud, she never begged for anything, and would never abandon her dignity or plead because of her feelings.

Suddenly, Liu Feiyue burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably, her face streaked with tears and snot. “We’re not even real siblings, but you treat me so well. I don’t know what to say, I don’t know what I should do in return.”

After the waiter served the food and left, Su Bai took a bite of each dish. Her stomach was already somewhat full, yet she was reluctant to leave any of it behind.

In the past few days, Liu Feifan had already instructed Jin Miaoyu and Liu Feiyue not to leave the rented apartment even for a step, in case a sudden summons from the Spirit Road caught them unprepared.

Lin Han sprang into action. The black-and-white coffin roared as it flew into the sky. He followed closely behind it, exerting considerable effort, sweat covering his face as he settled onto the fourth seat on the ranking.

She didn’t want herself to fall into further illusions, nor did she wish to see other men with Jun Xuanye’s face—even if she knew it was only a figment of her own mind.

Hei Yu Mengxun turned off the water. She knew well enough that her hands were already clean. What she was really cleansing was the shadow in her heart. Hands were easy to wash, but shadows were not so easily erased.

Jiang Chunyi tried peeling off one of the labels. Faintly, he heard a sound indicating some reaction was taking place. Then, with a loud bang, the car started moving.

Startled by the princess consort’s sharp voice, everyone stiffened with fear and quickly ushered the person out.

Some say they want to be police officers, catching every bad person under the sun. Some say they want to be doctors, saving every patient in the world. Others say they want to get into Tsinghua, or at least Peking University would suffice.

Su Jin turned her head and gazed at him. She had originally worried that sharing this matter with them might cause undue anxiety. But unexpectedly, the people sent over were exceedingly obedient, even joyful.

Hearing that Shen Ruge was preparing food for Xiao Jun for her sake, Qin Qianying felt her mood lighten a little. Then, noticing that the pudding was reserved just for her, her spirits fully recovered, and she resolved to do something before the meal began.

The apothecary master had not been at the Thousand Remedies Hall these past few days, claiming to be seeking support from his patron—likely to report what Jiang Yunwan had said and devise a countermeasure.

Even though she was prepared, Princess Pingxiang, seated in the palanquin, could not avoid a sudden jolt that threw her backward. Startled by the abrupt turn of events, she had no time to think further, but merely steadied herself and waited in silence.

“Where are you? When will you be done? I’ll come pick you up.” Gu Yinuo ignored her dejection and continued to press.

During the violent impact, the yin-yang fish platter became unstable, cracks spreading across its surface as if it might shatter at any moment.

Although Su Jin only knew how to treat jade, she had Qing Shang and Shopkeeper Liu working under her. If she could make good use of their talents and integrate them into Qingcheng, the city would one day become truly powerful.

After presenting himself at the palace, Hai Zhongdi received high praise from the Wanli Emperor for his work, with instructions given to the Ministry of Personnel for a special commendation. Luo Sigong was then summoned, complimented in turn, and likewise referred for official recognition.

“No wonder you’re Brother Su—your choice of stone is extraordinary!” After holding back for a long time, Boss Yuan finally managed to utter this single sentence.
