When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

"Kiss me, Cole," I begged, my head sinking back into the seat. "I…" He leaned in just a little, his lips close enough for me to taste his breath, but then he stopped. "Not now, Mia," he said with that smug voice. His hand trailed lower, gliding over my belly, fingers slipping under the waistband of my trousers.

It's normal for someone who works as a turtle to know how to tell...

{ COMPLETED } It's free so please add it to your collection ❤ Xu Gui's biggest regret in this life was that she was too lazy to retract into her turtle shell during her tribulation. When she opened her eyes again, she had gone from a turtle to a minor celebrity in the entertainment industry, facing a death sentence on the reality show "360 Trades"—the show lasted for one month, and the invited celebrities needed to find work and work hard to earn money. After one month, the person who earned the most money would be the final winner. And in front of Xu Gui, a mountain of dirty dishes was soaking in dish soap foam, grinning at her. Xu Gui pulled out a fortune-telling banner she had hastily made overnight, the large, bold characters in ink flowing like dragons and phoenixes— "Fortune-telling!" Under the overpass, three fortune-telling stall owners sneered at the young woman: "Are celebrity hype stories this outrageous these days?" * Faced with three bald, middle-aged men with grown sons, she asked about her children. "Your destiny palace indicates no children, and the Red Phoenix Star above your head carries a green light..." the young woman subtly advised, "Why don't you go to the hospital for a checkup?" That very night, news of a group chairman's marital breakdown went viral. Facing a young woman who ostensibly told fortunes but secretly boasted about her husband's generosity, Xu Gui tentatively asked, "...Is it possible that this bankbook you have is fake?" The entire internet watched, and the bankbook was indeed handwritten; the dowry of three million was actually only three hundred. At first, netizens scoffed at Xu Gui's money-making live streams. But later... netizens exclaimed: "It's so good!" The live stream chat went from "Get out of the entertainment industry, you charlatan!" to "Master, can you tell if I'm some rich kid who's fallen into poverty?" Xu Gui's live stream went from being ignored to becoming the most popular. Gradually, countless people started offering money to have Xu Gui tell their fortunes. Xu Gui slumped in his wicker chair, swinging his legs: "Three fortunes for today are done. Please come back tomorrow." The production team lamented: "The other guests are all serving food and handing out flyers, how could you..." The camera panned across the top of the donation leaderboard, and the production team fell silent.
