Shang Yan’s heart skipped a beat.
As Qu Xiao buried her head in his embrace, some of her hair fell on his neck. It emitted a lemon fragrance, seeming to be intentionally teasing his Adam’s apple.
Shang Yan’s eyes darkened. He wanted to push her away.
Knock knock!
There was a rhythmic knock on the door.
The two of them turned their heads at the same time. Shang Xinchen leaned against the door frame and clapped with a teasing expression. “Amazing!”
“Yesterday, you were demanding to leave with Ling Chi. But today, you throw yourself at my brother. You’re really a heartless and slutty b*tch!”
“Did you realize that Ling Chi can’t give you the life you wanted? Have you remembered my brother’s care for you? Did you change your mind because you want to stay in this family that had been your cash cow?”
Shang Xinchen’s words were harsh. Qu Xiao’s face flushed as her fingers twisted the hem of her clothes.
Shang Yan signaled with his eyes for Shang Xinchen to shut up.
No matter what, Qu Xiao was still his wife. He would not allow others to judge her.
Shang Xinchen was so angry that he rushed to Qu Xiao with his index finger nearly poking her nose, saying, “Shang Yan! Haven’t you seen through this woman?”
“The photos in your mailbox were all taken by private detectives. After she got married, she frequently met with Ling Chi!”
“Have you forgotten? She even came to the company yesterday and caused trouble in your office, threatening you to sign the divorce agreement!”
“She even said that she wanted to elope with Ling Chi in front of the shareholders. She did not care about your face at all!”

Shang Xinchen was so angry that he wanted to slap Qu Xiao. He clenched his fists with the veins on his arms bulging. He was trying his best to suppress his emotion.
“At that time, someone in the conference room secretly took a video and uploaded it online. Now, it has become a hot topic. Even if the public relations department is working overtime to remove the searches, the video is still spreading! Our family is so humiliated!”
“Do you think she can make up for all the losses by just saying a few good words to you?”
Shang Xinchen walked in front of Shang Yan. He tried his best to adjust his tone and persuade him, “Shang Yan, because of her, the company’s stock price has been affected. Now, it has dropped by five percent.”
“The shareholders all want you to divorce her. Otherwise, they will withdraw their stocks. You can’t be soft-hearted!”
There was a moment of silence in the room. Qu Xiao lowered her head and secretly thought, “Gosh! How many stupid things have you done!”
Now, even if she wanted to rebuild a good impression in Shang Yan’s heart, she would probably have to think of a way to stay first.
Shang Yan played the video on his phone. Qu Xiao’s voice came from it. Every word she said made Qu Xiao wish to hide. She was so embarrassed that her face blushed.
Shang Xinchen crossed his arms and raised his chin as he stared at Qu Xiao.
Qu Xiao’s eyes rolled quickly. She ruthlessly pinched her tender flesh in her arms, and tears instantly poured out.
She pretended to be weak and pitiful as she fell to the ground. She raised her head to look at Shang Yan, feeling wronged. “They taught me to say it!”

“It wasn’t my intention at all. I was deceived! I did something wrong because I was confused.”
“I feel dizzy now. Oh ... My mind is not clear. You can’t force me to make any decision.”
“I won’t agree to the divorce.”
Qu Xiao said shamelessly in a high voice. She wiped her tears and looked at Shang Yan from time to time, trying to gain sympathy.
Shang Yan pressed his forehead gently with his index finger. He felt a headache because of her statement.
He pondered for a while and finally said, “Call the doctor over to take a look. We’ll put the divorce aside for now and talk about it when she gets better.”
Shang Xinchen opened his mouth wide, wanting to refute.
Shang Yan’s face darkened as he gestured for him to push the wheelchair out. “Let’s go back to the company first.”
“We have to minimize the impact of this matter as soon as possible!”

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.
