Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

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. He didn't even hesitate—his fingers dipped lower, brushing over the wetness soaking through my panties. "Damn," he groaned in my ear. "You're fucking soaked."

Anthony! Anthony! Anthony! Anthony! Anthony! Anthony! Anthony! Anthony! Anthony! Anthony! Sorry about that just finished reading the most epic freaking fight scene ever(although isn't even over yet). The book is great, the characters are great, so far it's completely free, the only downside I think is that the chapters feel slightly short to me. It's a very cool system novel, where Anthony is our main character. Through an number of extremely ichy evolutions, dangerous combat, and sheer determination our author, Rino, writes such a compelling story, that fans will remember Anthony and his family untill their dying days. 99% You must read it. (The miss one percent is for people who don't like ants. Even then, you should still read it, as I swear you will fall in love with the beautiful things 😉)

that it is quite relentless and dramatic. There is a wide use of the epithets which make the novel sound rich and voluptuous to some extent, although sentences often seem tobe short and abrupt. Doerr pays great attention to detail which helps the readers to imagine the picture vividly to the point that one cannot wait for the next turn in the lives of the main characters.

Shocking, all the wealthy families in the city are fighting to acknowledge me as their family!

When Huo Mingjue was 18, he went to Jingzhou to look for his relatives in a low-key manner. The eight great families of Jingzhou appeared one after another and fought to recognize him as their relative! The person in charge of the Di family said,"Your mother was my ex-wife back then. I'm still single and have no children. You're the heir to my billions of assets!" "Your mother saved my life back then. I have a grandson who has just returned to the country. He has a good figure and looks!" Yan family's King of Hell: " Your mother was my adopted sister back then, so you are my niece. Call me uncle!" Lu family's big star: Your mother was my good sister back then. If you round it up, you're my biological baby daughter! Then, the Qi family! Feng Clan! Lin Family! Qin family! Luxury cars were blocking her door! Huo Mingjue tried to escape but was caught red-handed by a man. She held the lollipop in her mouth, her heart unmoved." Tell me, which relative are you?" The man held a pregnancy test report." I'm here to acknowledge the child in your stomach. Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau." Huo Mingjue was speechless. The next day, Jingzhou's headline was 'Shock'! The Eight Great Clans had joined forces again after so many years! He was actually supporting a mysterious woman, saying that wild men were only worthy of warming the bed and making soup!
