One by one, the aunts, uncles, and cousins turned to Li Chen with shock, disbelief, and astonishment on their faces.
"En...en..engaged? Already engaged?" Aunt Hong stammered.
"Bother-in-law, when did Qing Qing get engaged? How come we never heard anything about this?" Aunt Si, similarly stunned and pale-faced, added.
"Sister-in-law, Yue'er's marriage was fixed on the day she was born. Her fiancé is the only son of my best friend, Great Commander Long Hongwu, Long Tian..."
"Gr...Great Commander's son...Long Hongwu's only son...? Long Tian?" The aunts and uncles were shocked speechless.
"Qing Qing is engaged to Long Tian!? The Great Commander's only son, Long Tian!? Ahhh!" Yan Su jumped out of her seat and screamed in thrill.
Her comical look, wide-eyed and panting like she'd run a mile, made Qing Yue inadvertently chuckle behind her hand.
But no one on the table missed the melodious note. All eyes swiveled to the chuckling Qing

Yei Yi's heart shuddered from the chilly gaze and inadvertently trembling, she slinked back in her chair. This Li Qing Yue scared her. Because she looked nothing like the good-natured, easy to manipulate Li Qing Yue that she'd come to know... Yan Su was observing the reaction of everyone in the room when she saw the brief clash between the two girls. For a brief moment, her eyes widen in shock and astonishment, but an instant later, a smug smirk formed on her lips as her eyes disdainfully skimmed over Yei Yi's slumped figure. This Yei Yi is always speaking in Qing Yue's matter as if she is Li Qing Yue. It's just great now! She wanted to speak in a matter unrelated to her and decide for Qing Qing like she always does. However, Qing Qing displayed her power and silenced her with a single glare, hahaha... This is how Li Chen's only daughter, Li Qing Yue should be. Silent as a mouse, fierce as a wolf, skinning the prey without shedding a drop of b

"Third Brother, please excuse me as well. I still need to get some business matters taken care of." Li Fang stood up and Aunt Mei followed suit. The two bowed respectfully and Li Wei stood to leave with them. The gaze with which the girl looked at Qing Yue was complex, filled with complicated emotions that couldn't be named, before following behind her parents. "Brother-in-law, we'll take our leave as well. Mu'er still has to study for his college entrance exams. Qing Qing isn't going to college, right? Oh! Look at me. I forgot Qing Qing didn't attend public school. How would she go to college?" Aunt Si smiled apologetically as she looked at Qing Yue. "Qing Qing, Auntie didn't mean to mention the topic of school. You don't take it to heart." "Don't worry Aunt Si, I didn't take it to heart. I wish you a safe journey." Unaffected and Unbothered by the elder woman's subtle jab, Qing Yue sent them off with an amiable smile. "Hmph! Li Mu, Li Wang,

"You found out about Lu Jin's reality, right? Long Tian, I'll be honest. Every time I saw you hanging on to that girl's words, I felt disgusted and disappointed in you. I couldn't understand why you, who was always cold and suspicious, mistrustful of women, trusted her. Why you couldn't see through her deception was beyond my understanding. But later, I realized you liked her. And because you liked her, you ignored all the signs of her deception." Long Tian didn't speak, his cold silence causing Ouyang Gu to tremble in trepidation. His gaze went back and forth between the two men, the confusion in their depths slowly turning to enlightenment when he heard Fu Ji Ren's words. Lu Jin...was deceiving Long Tian? Huuuu... No wonder Fu Ji Ren never liked her. The man must've already sensed her bad intentions. Ouyang Gu looked at Fu Ji Ren in admiration, amazed at his keen insight. Unaware of his friend's fervent gaze, Fu Ji Ren continued his
Thrilling Storm Yei Yi and Tang Fang
"Ahhh! Why!? Why!?" Yei Yi smashed another vase of flowers, the broken shreds flying everywhere before crashing onto the already littered floor. But her anger, resentment, and bitterness didn't abate, the raging inferno devouring her heart in a flood of hatred. Yei Yi couldn't take it anymore. With another shriek of enraged cry, she swept everything on her dressing table to the ground. The bottles of perfumes and nail polish smashed and shattered, the various fumes and fragrances mixing and drifting in the room, filling the air with their pungent scent. Tired and drained, Yei Yi collapsed on her bed with tears swimming in her dark eyes. Why!? Why in the world did Li Qing Yue always get everything? Why did she always get the best of everything without even trying? She was obviously better than the reticent Li Qing Yue in everything. She was more educated, more outgoing, more assertive, and a lot smarter. So why did every

When Yei Yi arrived at the Ivy Club, she found Tang Fang drinking in a private room. Bang! She slammed her purse on the side table and casually sat across from him. "Tang Fang, you are really useless, aren't you? Only one Li Qing Yue and you're unable to win her heart?" Her eyes condescending roamed over his body, the disdain and scorn within their depths rising dark anger in his heart. Tang Fang clenched his fist and lowered his drink. "What happened now?" He was used to Yei Yi's temper tantrums. Whenever something happened at the Li Mansion, she would call and run over to vent at him. He was used to it, but that didn't mean he liked it. "What happened? Oh, nothing much, just that the goddess of your heart, Li Qing Yue, is getting engaged to Long Tian, the only son of Great Commander Long Hongwu." Twing! "What!?" Tang Fang's eyes widened in disbelief. Blood oozed from his clenched fist as shreds of glass from h
Thrilling Storm Sinister Scheme
Qing Yue placed the food, clothes, books, and shoes she bought for the City Orphanage in the trunk of her hover. She closed the trunk with her purple button and moved towards the driver's seat. A light spring breeze rippled by and plucked at her sleek tresses, the strands getting in her eyes as she hopped into the hover. Qing Yue swept the strands out of her face before the automatic belts tied her to the seat. "Su Su, City Orphanage." "Su Su heading to City Orphanage." The hover floated and faced towards the grey skyscrapers before dashing into their embrace. Qing Yue had been visiting the City Orphanage since the age of 11. As a soul from the past, feeding hungry kids and clothing them wasn't anything new. On the contrary, because of the numerous wars fraught on the land and its people, she stayed among children that were abandoned hungry and naked on street corners and government doors or sold as slaves as their parents couldn't aff
Thrilling Storm Sinister Scheme 2
"Qing Yue, your presence brightens this humble abode. You've no idea how much the kids look forward to seeing you every other week." Madam Ji moved forward and emotionally embraced Qing Yue. This little girl, who was barely an adult, had assisted them in their time of need when they had no support and were on the brink of becoming homeless. She gave them food when the little ones passed out from hunger, and gave them clothes when the weather got too cold. If it weren't for her, the City Orphanage wouldn't exist until now. It would've already been demolished and reduced to a play center for the wealthy kids. "Madam Ji, I look forward to seeing the kids as well. They make me happy and fill me with purpose. If I wasn't busy on the other days, I would've loved to spend every day in their company." "Hmm. I know. Come, have a seat." Madam Ji led Qing Yue to the sitting room. Tang Fang's eyes gleamed with a strange excitement as he watched her back.<

"Qing Yue!""Sister Qing!""Yue'er!"The shocked cries returned Long Tian to his senses. He rushed forth and arrived before the flaming hover to find the girl unconscious underneath."Hey, hey! Wake up! If you can hear my voice, open your eyes. Quickly call the emergency line!" Long Tian coldly screamed and waved at the dumbstruck people around him, before turning and taking off his suit coat.He slammed at the flaming hover, extinguishing some of the bursting flames before dropping to the ground and wedging his way towards the motionless girl."Hey! Hey, little girl! Can you hear my voice?" He hoarsely yelled over the roaring flames.Qing Yue's entire body ached as if every bone was crushed and every flesh skinned. Burnt skin and the metallic scent of blood filled her nostrils, returning her to the nightmares she so desperately wished to leave behind."Cough, Cough!"Smoke entered her lungs and she tearfully coughed.
