Suddenly Qie Xieling stood up and hugged his father his eyes red. "Don't ever think that. I will never not need you. You will always be my daddy," he said his voice brittle like he was about to break down crying.
"It doesn't matter who it is that you are marrying. I would still be overprotective even if they are perfect for you... You are my little dumpling and watching you grow up is hard for me. Soon you won't need me anymore like you used to," he said and the room was filled with the unspoken words, father and son, each grappling with the tides of change. Qie Ranzhe drank the rest of the whiskey his heart feeling heavy.
Little did she know, it was all thanks to Leo's initiative. Witnessing Hera's struggle to reach the village due to the rough road, he promptly contacted the construction company under their banner and directed them to build the road and to expedite the project.
Just as Leo departed, Xavier tugged at Hera's sleeve with a serious expression. "Let's exchange numbers too," he said, displaying his phone. With a resigned smile, Hera exchanged numbers with Xavier.

"No matter what, she is still alive," said a boy with an eye roll. "The three mers who were the victims of the situation were killed while she got away with a lighter punishment."

"The mer was worried that his wife would blame him, so he dared not to say the truth to his wife," continued Little Fatty as he munched on fried peanuts, "Ke Dilai knew that the mer wouldn't tell her sister anything, so she started blackmailing him and continued to ask him for money, once she succeeded, she did the same with the other two brothers in law as well."
"Cheng Yu didn't know Si Chen and Tong Yao, she was only looking towards the entrance because everyone else was. Upon catching sight of Tong Yao for the first time, she was initially amazed by her beauty, but soon frowned. She thought to herself, how could this woman wear the same color as the hostess? Doesn't she have any sense of propriety?
"Bitch! If it weren't for you, Brother Lingyun wouldn't have moved to this village and I wouldn't have fallen to this point. It's because you robbed my man that I needed to seduce Han Yuheng to survive!" She whispered with a voice full of hatred and jealousy.
Feeling indignant on behalf of his sister-in-law, Gu Zi, Jin Long lost all desire to sleep. It wasn't until he went to find Lin Cheng that he learned the items Su Shen had asked him to deliver were for the Lin family's braised food business, not for their personal consumption.
