Adeline woke up to the crisp ringing of her alarm. She noticed that two of the buttons on her pajamas were undone, and she wondered if she had suddenly developed a habit of unbuttoning her clothes in her sleep. Blushing, she thought of her dream from the night before. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was on the verge of losing her mind. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, Adeline then got out of her bed, washed up, and got ready for school. After that, Adeline went to eat breakfast in the dining room. A short while later, Sandrino walked down the stairs. "Adeline, are you going to school today?" Sandrino asked. "Yes, I am," Adeline answered as she finished the last bit of cereal in her bowl. Then, she got up, took her bag, and left for her classes. Right as she had left the room, George came out of the kitchen, and he noticed that Adeline had already left. He looked over to Sandrino and asked politely, "Mr. Sandrino, there are
"Adeline, who is he? He's so handsome!" Chloe asked with stars in her eyes. "He's a friend of mine," Adeline answered. Then, she navigated through the crowd and headed towards Ethan with Chloe behind her. "Ethan, what are you doing here? Are you waiting for a friend?" Adeline smiled and asked. "Yes, I'm waiting for you," Ethan answered with a wide grin. Hearing that, Adeline nodded and pulled Chloe over to introduce her, "This is Chloe Lawson, a good friend of mine." "Chloe, this is my friend, Ethan Gardner." "Hello, Miss Lawson," Ethan greeted. "Hello, Mr. Gardner," Chloe replied nervously. Noticing Chloe's jumpiness, Adeline held onto her arm and pulled her close as she whispered, "Chloe, you're too nervous." Chloe blushed in embarrassment at Adeline's comment. Briskly, she said, "Adeline, I just remembered that I have to be at another place now. I have to go. Bye!" With that, she disappeared into the crowd. Adeline turned
"Of course, Mom," Adeline replied impassively. "Alright then. You'd better get to bed early," Martha said before standing up and headed upstairs. "Sure, Mom. Good night." After that, Adeline slumped on the couch, thinking about what she had gotten herself into. As usual, Adeline laid on her bed and prepared herself to sleep after her shower. As soon as she dozed off, she felt someone climb into her bed, and a pair of hands caressed her from head to toe repeatedly. However, when she woke up the next day, she looked around to find herself alone in her room once more. For the next four or five consecutive days, Adeline had the same dream. She had no idea why this was happening to her. These dreams were too realistic to be a figment of her imagination. If she was indeed dreaming, it wouldn't explain how her pajamas were tempered when she woke up the next morning. ...... "Sebastian, didn't you mention something about our engagement party? It's
Adeline really couldn't understand Yvette. Just a day before, Yvette was unhappy about the fact that she had married Christiano. Yet, for some reason, Yvette came to threaten her to back off from Ethan now. At such an age, she couldn't possibly still think of herself as a princess who would charm every prince that crossed her path. Adeline scoffed, "Why should I? Who are you to him?" Yvette was triggered at Adeline's comeback, and she sneered in reply, "You're shameless, Adeline. You're married to Lockwood's son. But you still wanted to seduce Ethan, don't you? Have you thought of the Lockwoods when you do that?" "Yvette, when and where did you see me doing such a thing? I only went to have dinner together with Ethan. If you think that is alluring... That speaks a lot of you!" Adeline lifted her brows and said with an exaggerated expression. Yvette fumed with anger. After some time, she taunted, "To explain is to veil, Adeline. Although you're married to Christi
As for the reason why Adeline hadn't studied design but performance art, it was because her mother had insisted that Adeline shouldn't take on designing since she was young. Other than that, Adeline could study anything she wanted. Heeding her mother's words, Adeline didn't follow her heart when she applied for college and ended up studying performance arts. However, even without a proper education in designing, Adeline was naturally gifted in it. There had been multiple instances when she had won when she submitted her designs to competitions. However, since she couldn't show up to receive the prizes, she had to give them up. Time flew, and Adeline began to feel sleepy after spending some time reading. She looked up at the clock only to realize that it was almost midnight. Putting the book down on her nightstand, she gulped down a glass of milk as usual and went to bed. The air at the night was cool, and the moonlight covered the earth with its soft shine. The crick
Ethan led the way ahead, and he was followed by Adeline and Chloe. They couldn't tell how long they had been trekking. Just as the two girls were about to give in, Ethan called out, "We're here!" Hearing that, Adeline and Chloe heaved in relief. They almost collapsed to the ground as their legs were sore from walking such a long distance. Just when Chloe was about to ask Ethan where the picturesque view was, Adeline cheeped, "Chloe, look!" Chloe turned to look in the direction Adeline was pointing at. It was an endless field of flowers in various colors and types, and they could almost smell the floral fragrance from where they stood. "Wow, it's breath-taking!" Looking at the flower field, Chloe squealed out in awe. Adeline didn't think that there would be such a panoramic spot so close to Caulford City. It made sense to her that Ethan had spoken of this place so highly. It was a fairyland! "Gosh, it's so pretty! Come on, let's go take a closer look at th
"Alright then. Let's go back to the mountaintop to rest. The tents have already been set up," Ethan said gently. At the mention of more hiking, Chloe pouted and asked, "Ethan, are we really going to spend the night in the mountains?" "Yeah. I checked the astronomical forecast when Adeline told me that you guys were going on a trip this morning. There's going to be a meteor shower tonight, and you wouldn't want to miss it." With that, Ethan led the way to the camping area on the mountain top. "Adeline, you and Chloe can have some rest first. I'll call you both later when it's time," he said. Adeline nodded in agreement and entered one of the tents with Chloe. The sun was starting to set, and the moon glowed softly in the sky. There were many other tents on the camping site as well. It seemed that more people had come that night because of the meteor shower. Ethan fixed the barbecue grill stand that he had prepared on a flat surface, then he got
Adeline's shriek had startled Adrian. He only came to his senses after a long while, and he barked, "For God's sake, shut up! What are you yelling for?" Adeline was still trembling in fear. With a shaky voice, she asked, "Are y-you human? W-Why are you here?" "What kind of question is that? And why are you asking me why I'm here? You should know the best!" Adrian replied through gritted teeth. Hearing Adrian's words, Adeline vaguely recalled running into something as she fell down the slope. She didn't manage to avoid it, and so, she assumed that this person was what she had brought down here with her. "Oh Gosh, did I bump into you just now? I made you tumble down here with me, didn't I?" Adeline asked, still in shock. "That's right! Now that you know that, can you get off of me first?" Adrian fumed at her, who was still sitting on top of him. Only at that moment did Adeline realize that she had been using Adrian as a cushion. Hastily, she got up aga
"Xiaowan..." Christiano yelled at the top of the mountain. His sorrowful voice lingered around the valley for a long time... A year later... The Lockwood family in Caulford City was the wedding day of Sandrino and Gu Xiaobei's wedding. Almost all the influential people in the business world were present. The wedding was very lively. When Gu Xiaobei heard that her big belly was slowly showing up, Sandrino hurriedly went up to her and said, "Didn't I tell you to stay in your room? Why did you come out?" "Is it really boring to stay in the room? Besides, it's my wedding today. As a bride, of course, I should come out and have a look!" Looking at Gu Xiaobei, who was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, Lu Yangzhe's face was full of helplessness and love. A year ago, the trap of the Huya Mountain was destroyed. Adeline, Bai Qian'er, and Alice were all missing. Lu Yang was seriously ill. Bai Ye and all of Kaiser's followers were a
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that no one was talking, Gu Xiaobei just looked at her stupidly. "Adele, your president is..." "It's my dad!" Before Bai Ziqi could finish her words, she was caught by Gu Xiaobei. "The reason why Brother Lu's case can be found out so quickly is also because of you?" "Not entirely. I just mentioned it to my father when I went back, but he said that it was a matter of your country. Because it didn't involve other countries, he couldn't show up. Just when I didn't know what to do, I suddenly sent an email, which was full of crimes committed by Queen Yea over the years. Because the crime committed by Queen Yea has seriously affected many countries, my father asked people to investigate it. What followed is what you saw." Gu Xiaobei's words were very relaxed. Bai Zixi sighed and said, "No wonder. I was wondering why the U.S. was so straightforward this time. It turned out that there was someone behind it." As he
Nan Xin looked at Xiaodong carefully and found that he was not uncomfortable, so he stopped asking. At this time, Adeline woke up. "What's wrong with me?" "You fainted just now. Maybe it's because of the poison barrier here. But now you have taken the herbs that specialize in treating the poison barrier. It's all right." "Sorry to have caused you so much trouble." As he struggled, Adeline saw Bai Ye and the European Emperor confronting each other with guns. "Bai Ye, you actually dared to secretly bring Su and the others here behind Queen Kaiser's back. Are you trying to steal those treasures for yourself?" Bai Ye sneered and looked at the Ou Emperor, saying, "Emperor Ou, since you found out, I'm not afraid of you knowing. What can you do to me if I want to monopolize those treasures, or are you willing to be a dog around her?" "Bai Ye, Queen Kaiser treats you well. Don't you think you're ungrateful?" Hearing this, Bai Ye laughed out loud.
Early the next morning, Adeline and the others were woken up by the sound of gunshots. "What happened?" Alice opened the zipper of the tent and walked out. They saw that their tent had already been surrounded by Bai Ye's men. Soon, they knew what was going on. However, soon after, the gunshots came to an abrupt end. Adeline didn't seem to mind at all, only tightly holding Little Dong in his arms. "It seems that some people can't wait to start." "Xiaowan, do you think Ling Yu and Tang Qi will be discovered by them?" There was a strong smell of blood in the air. Luo Luo said with some fear. Compared with Alice, he was calmer. He comforted her and said, "Don't worry. Since they know our purpose, they won't act on their own." "Luoluo, you have to trust Ling Yu." "Yes." At this time, Xie San's voice came from outside the tent. "Xiaowan, get ready. It's time to go." Xie San's voice was low and deep, very pleasant to listen to.
"Since he is leading the way, let's take him with us!" Adeline pulled the child to his side and glared at the two men with an ugly expression. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Simpson." "Time to go!" Looking at their backs, the man next to Bai Ye said unhappily, "Why is Old Master so partial to her?" "Whether we can find the treasure or not depends on them. Let's follow them for the time being." How could someone who had accomplished great things care about these trivial matters? "Sister, I want to go home." As soon as the little boy got rid of the men's hands, he cried loudly. Adeline knew that Bai Ye would never agree to let him go. The reason why she took him to her side was that she hoped that she could take more care of him along the way. "I'm sorry, little brother. This sister helped you temporarily, because she was caught by them just like you." "Don't worry. Staying with us is better than staying with those p
Taoping Town was an ancient town. It was surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery. Perhaps because of the natural environment, all the people here lived a particularly happy life. Young people would go out to adventure, and some old people would stay in the estate left by the ancestors of the guardian. Perhaps it was because of the special environment here, and there were often grave robbers here. However, the appearance of so many people this time made the people of Tanping Town a little scared. Everyone would stand at the door of their own houses and look at those people. "Grandpa, what are these people doing here?" A little boy looked up at the old man standing beside him and asked in a low voice. "No matter what they are doing, it has nothing to do with us anyway. Let's go inside." "Are they here for the baby tiger?" As soon as he finished speaking, the old man covered his mouth in a hurry, and his face changed slightly. He scolded angrily,
Three days later, Adeline followed Bai Ye to Yaoping Town, but he didn't see Bai Lang. At this time, Tang Qi and the others, who had been waiting for Adeline in Tanping Town, had already received the news that Adeline had come in. "What should we do now?" After confirming the location of Adeline's residence, Tang Qi and the others gathered together to discuss how to rescue him. Suddenly, an uninvited guest came from outside the door. "Seventh Young Master, long time no see?" She walked in slowly with graceful steps and greeted Tang Qi with a faint smile. "Rumor has it that Young Master Rong isn't feeling well all year round and has been resting at home. I wonder what brought you here?" "Of course it's you." Hearing this, Tang Qi suddenly smiled. Two people came forward and hugged each other tightly, causing everyone present to be stunned. Especially Tang Qi, an inexplicable anger came from the bottom of her heart. She stepped forwar
"In the past few days, you might be able to appease the employees of the company. You don't need to keep those who want to resign too much. What our Lu Enterprises needs is people who can fight to the death with the company, not people who run away when they are in trouble." "But big brother, there have been too many things happening in the past two years. If we do this again, won't it cause public disgust?" "In the end, Lu Yangzhe was still a little worried. After all, the power of public opinion is too great. It's okay for the country to be affected, but it'll be more difficult for foreign subsidiary companies and famous brands to rise again once they are seriously injured." "You have to remember that the reputation of a company is very important, but his quality is even more important. If everyone only likes this brand instead of the quality of our product, then it doesn't matter if you don't want such a customer." He, Christiano, wanted to do the best work.
"Baby, can you understand the English on it?" Xu Lu came forward and asked, looking at the number that was quickly rolling on the screen. "Auntie, you don't know yet, do you? Zi Yao has the ability to see all kinds of things, and his English is better than mine." Jiaqi, who was standing by the side, seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness she had just had. She saw Lu Ziyan sitting in front of the computer table, looking particularly handsome. Her beautiful eyes were full of pride. It was as if she was the only one who had done it. "Do you all know each other?" Obviously, Bai Ziqi's words shocked both Bai Ziqi and Xu Ran so much that they couldn't even say a word. Was this still a three-year-old child? Why did they have a feeling that the sky was about to change? After making sure that Lu Ziming was fine, Bai Ziqi and Xu Lulu left the room, ready to inquire about Christiano's situation. "What did you say?" "One minute ago, we receiv
