Chapter 46: Successfully Blending In

The gatekeeper’s expression stiffened, and before he could reply, a chilling voice echoed from within.

“Hardly compares to Young Master Yan’s grand entrance. Everywhere you go, it’s like a theater troupe in the mortal realm is opening its show. Are you afraid people might not know how gaudy you are?”

Ji Ci Yuan stepped out, clad in violet robes with wide sleeves flowing like clouds, a crimson mark between his brows vivid as a drop of blood. He walked slowly, petals strewn beneath his feet, his gaze sweeping over the sixteen flower-scattering maids behind Yan Jing Chen, openly displaying his disdain.

Yan Jing Chen heard these words.

He had missed his mother for so many years, finally reunited, yet now, because of this child, he might once again endure separation.

“If I don’t bathe, I feel so uncomfortable—my whole body itches, I can’t sleep.” Su Mianmian was someone who loved cleanliness; if she didn’t bathe at night, she simply couldn’t sleep.

Mu Fanan was once again surprised. Wasn’t the boss always diligent, never missing a single meeting? What on earth could have happened today, to make the boss skip even such an important conference?

“Ice Cube, look, they’re wearing matching outfits.” Pei Anan couldn’t help but speak, a hint of envy in her voice.

In the end, Li Jinye left, and just as he stepped out, Su Mianmian’s nose began to bleed again. She felt somewhat relieved—thank goodness Li Jinye had gone first, thank goodness it hadn’t happened right in front of him.

This time, he couldn’t even touch a single finger of Pei Qiqi. This time, he cherished their happiness so much he was unwilling to spoil it.

Because the ingredients were the rare and precious deep-sea blue electric blind eel, Ye Fenghui was especially meticulous in his cooking.

Ye Lingxiao had no time to care about others’ opinions. After tossing off a remark that left Niu Zijun both angry and embarrassed, he turned once more to Shen Nianyu.

Qing Xuan was better off, at least aware that his body was only as strong as it was now. He didn’t dare act recklessly, afraid that if his health deteriorated, Ye Fenghui would surely scold him upon return.

He truly needed comfort now, for in this moment he suddenly realized he wasn’t Jet—he was someone unknown, a stranger to everyone. He needed Tang Zixuan’s words, needed her to tell him everything was fine, that she still loved him.

“Dare to frighten the boss with such antics—wait till we get home and I’ll deal with you.” Liu Hao pinched Leona’s shapely backside as he spoke.

Neither of them said another word, yet the atmosphere was not at all awkward; on the contrary, it felt harmonious, just like old times.

“What?! You’re Lin Feng? How could you possibly know…” The portly manager began to speak, but ultimately fell silent. Clearly, since they’d tracked him down here, there was no point in saying anything more.

When Li Haonan introduced Gu Xiaobei in French to the ‘romantic’ French couple, they responded with excited gestures and animated expressions.

Although Gu Xiaobei was sometimes a bit careless, she was nonetheless aware of the skyrocketing housing prices in this city. With little savings, she had fled here with Wu Chuang, like running for her life. How would they manage in the days to come? Where would they live? How would they survive? She pondered these questions for a long time on the flight.

Witnessing the power she radiated, like flames igniting, Yu Wushuang was moved, surprise and solemnity flickering in his eyes.

His physical stats had soared, yet the armor’s abilities remained unchanged, leaving Lu Feiyang helpless. Why was this happening?

Iverson finally regained his composure. To have come this far, he’d weathered countless similar situations; the scars on his body were no fewer than Lin Feng’s.

In truth, he had come this time for the luminous pearl. Normally, a phone call would have sufficed, but since Liang Dong’s car was still here, he had to make the trip himself. After all, he wasn’t particularly busy.

“But to ordinary people, you are quite dangerous.” Lu Feiyang rubbed his nose.
