My Little Sweet Wife Chapter 265

"I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen shameless people like you." Jiang Ruolan clicked her tongue as she sipped the sour and refreshing lemonade from the straw. She glanced at Qin Gengxin sideways, "You didn't come looking for me as a middleman, did you?"
"Nonsense. I came all the way here for myself, of course. How could I possibly be a middleman?"
"Is that so?" Jiang Ruolan smiled. Her eyes were calm as she looked at him. When she saw that Qin Gengxin was looking back at her too, she laid down the straw and thought it would be better if she started a conversation. At the very least, Qin Gengxin's purpose for coming here was not something she wanted to hear.
"How's your relationship with Xian Guiying?" Jiang Ruolan asked the patient directly.
Qin Gengxin's long and narrow peach blossom eyes slightly widened. He suddenly revealed a faint smile. "Jiang Ruolan, you are not really an ordinary person. You've learned to take the initiative to start a conversation."
"What are you trying to say?" Jiang Ruolan smiled.
Qin Gengxin's thin lips pursed as if he didn't like to talk about Xian Guiying. He directly changed the topic. "You chose to go to the hotel that day to have a fight before leaving because you wanted everyone to know that you left because of Zhou Shufen, right?"
Jiang Ruolan looked at him calmly while sipping on her lemonade. "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Qin Gengxin laughed. "You know this is very embarrassing for Zhou Shufen. Her goal to return to H City is Xian Zihao, and without you intervening, her goal is just as difficult as going up to heaven, but now because of you, it may be even harder. This move of yours is really terrifying. As expected from you, Jiang Ruolan. Before leaving, you didn't forget to throw a handful of sand into Zhou Shufen's plan. If you can't have Zihao, you still won't let her have him too."

"Hur hur." Jiang Ruolan could only express her feelings with a mocking smile.
It was rare for Qin Gengxin to see through her thoughts so easily. If he knew about it, then Xian Zihao should also know what she was thinking back then.
In fact, when she went to the hotel that day, her original intention was not to give a few slaps to Zhou Shufen. But her hands won't listen to her. Jiang Ruolan only wanted to tell Zhou Shufen that even if she, Jiang Ruolan, lost, she (Zhou Shufen) wouldn't be able to win either!
In fact, life was like a mahjong game. If she were unable to win, she would also not allow her opponent to win. The best result would be a rout.
Had Jiang Ruolan long since admitted that she was a very ungracious person?
She was not the Virgin Mary Sue, and she was not that generous. She had a ruthless heart too.
"Actually ..." Qin Gengxin raised an eyebrow. "Now, I'd rather not understand Xian Zihao's situation or be in his place. Seeing the results now, I'm actually happier about it. Little Red Face, how about you just listen to me?"
Jiang Ruolan drank another mouthful of lemonade with an incomparable calmness. After that, she looked up at the shrewd smile in Qin Gengxin's eyes and curled her lips. "You'd better take care of yourself. Stop looking at me. I really don't want to be a stepmother."
Qin Gengxin was stunned. "What stepmother?"
Crap, Jiang Ruolan accidentally blurted it out. She held the straw in her hand and looked at him for a while. She noticed that he was looking at her with a slightly suspicious expression on his face. She bit her lips and was a bit conflicted. Should she say or not? Jiang Ruolan couldn't help but ask, "Has Guiying returned to the United States?"
"Not yet. I heard her flight is the day after tomorrow."

"You're not going to see her?"
Qin Gengxin didn't reply. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Ruolan coldly. He seemed dissatisfied with the way she turned the topic over to Xian Guiying.
Meanwhile, a young woman in a sexy dress entered the tea shop. The waiter walked over and told her softly, "Sorry, the tea shop has been booked today. Miss, please come back another day."
When the woman heard this, she deliberately stroked her wavy hair and turned around to leave.
Qin Gengxin caught a glimpse of the sexy and hot woman's face and whistled. "Hey, beauty. Even if I book a tea house today, I will blame myself for letting a beautiful woman like you leave. Why don't you join us?"
"Ugh …" The waiter in front of the door was a little taken aback, but he did not say anything. He quietly withdrew himself.
Jiang Ruolan immediately rolled her eyes in disdain. Men, tsk tsk.
When that woman turned around and saw Qin Gengxin, her eyes immediately lit up. She took off her sunglasses and smiled. Then, she walked to their table.
Jiang Ruolan placed one hand on her chin and glared at Qin Gengxin. "Isn't my presence here an eyesore? Why don't I go first?
After saying that, she picked up her bag and was about to get up. If she didn't take this chance to run, then when would she?
"What's the rush ~ ~" Qin Gengxin shouted at her. "Sit still. This woman is interesting ~~" He said this in a light tone, then glanced at the woman who was walking over. The smell of her perfume was very strong.
"Are all the handsome men in the world so generous today?" That beautiful woman sat down with a smile. Her fiery red nails and fair skin matched each other very well, giving her a sexy look.
Jiang Ruolan wasn't particularly disgusted by her presence. In fact, she finds that she likes this woman a lot. Seeing that this woman's face was staring straight at Qin Gengxin, she felt that she really looked like an electric light bulb sitting here.
But when Qin Gengxin said that this woman was interesting, he obviously hinted something at her. Jiang Ruolan lowered her head and sipped her lemonade. The sound of her sipping finally caught the woman's dissatisfied gaze, but when the woman turned to look at her, she caught a glimpse of a small card in her chest, showing her identity.
"What would the beauty like to drink?" Qin Gengxin snapped his fingers and called for the waiter. He then took the menu and looked at that woman meaningfully.
The beauty raised her slender fingers, flipped through the menu pages one by one, and then smiled." The price and the quality of the drinks here are too low. Since when did President Qin like to go to such a small place? If you want to seduce a woman, you have to go to a high place, right? A place like this makes a beauty like me feel unappreciated."
As she said this, the beautiful woman looked at Jiang Ruolan and smiled, "Right, little sister?"
Little sister?
Jiang Ruolan endured the thunderstruck feeling as she looked at the smile on Qin Gengxin's face and then looked at the bewitching beauty. "You two know each other?"
The beauty suddenly laughed softly and sat down next to Jiang Ruolan. Her slender fingers were lightly fiddling with the work card on Jiang Ruolan's chest. "As an entertainment journalist, you can't even recognize me at such a close distance?"

The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.
