Qu Jian'er was praised extensively by the old patriarch Carter, and in the end, he was even regarded as a close friend despite their age difference.
His status rose instantly.
She went from being Bian Qin's peer to being her grandmother.
Qu Jian'er rubbed her temples and said, "Bian Qin's personality is related to this matter. Remember to bring him home in a grand manner and raise him as your heir."
She emphasized the word "solemn".
After Bian Qin's parents passed away, the head of the Carter family followed his children's wishes.
They sent the person out of the Carter's house.
It's all for the sake of protection.
If he knew that he had not only failed to protect people, but had instead pushed them to the brink of danger.
He might regret it later.
Qu Jian'er has recently been unable to use her incantations, so she gave Bian Qin a life-saving talisman.
Using it as a reward for perfectly fulfilling copyright obligations only emboldened the other party's unethical practices.
It pushed people towards a "bullying" mentality.
On the way back to Qujian'er.
She saw a familiar cat and received a deeply resentful look from it.
Qu Jian'er raised an eyebrow: "Where's Jiang Yiya?"
Hei Dazhu jumped into Qu Jian'er's arms: "He saw someone related to Mu Huai and chased after them."
It told Qu Jian'er about Jiang Yiya seeing a group of people in black.
They boasted about how they shook off their pursuers and how they found Qu Jian'er.
However, Qu Jian'er was not curious about the process.
She did not go to find Jiang Yiya.
She believed the other party would not act rashly.
The main reason she didn't go looking for "people" was because she lacked the skill of using words.
Also, there's a state banquet in a couple of days.
She wanted to personally investigate the Wu family.
Anyway.
If Jiang Yiya gets into trouble.
She can sense it through the marking spell.
She let it go, unaware that this act of indifference nearly resulted in the world losing a zombie...
***
Two days passed quickly.
The imperial banquet arrived as scheduled.
Zuo Chen stood tall and strode out of the changing room.
A sudden hormonal storm swept away the drowsy Qu Jian'er, leaving her completely disoriented.
She was daring.
Staring at the person in front of me.
He wore a custom-made graphite suit, which was generally gentlemanly and elegant, consistent with his usual style.
His full, muscular chest flared proudly against the sheen of his dark shirt, sparking endless imagination.
The wrist is adorned with soft-toned black pearl cufflinks, yet the expensive design avoids appearing dated.
He was so handsome that it was dazzling, and as always, he was so good-looking that it was outrageous.
Zuo Chen wiped his frameless glasses and asked, "What kind of bow tie do you think I should wear?"
Qu Jian'er's breath hitched: "Anything is fine!"
For some reason, she felt that the air was not circulating well, which made it difficult for her to breathe.
Before quickly slipping into the changing room.
She accidentally tripped over her right foot with her left foot.
Zuo Chen hurriedly caught the person in his arms. Just as he was about to say "be careful," he saw the other person quickly stand up, seemingly fleeing in panic.
While the other person was changing clothes.
Zuo Chen fell into deep thought.
The hand that was looking for the tie also paused.
He clearly never liked interacting with other people.
But.
It does not include any particular person.
Is this normal?
I don't know why.
I think back on everything I've experienced with Qu Jian'er.
He could recall Zuo Zhijing's words to Gu Siyu, words that were both stubborn and tender: "Principles are for others, but you will always be my exception."
Could it be that he has ill intentions towards Qu Jian'er?
After leaving Qu Jian'er, he had already made up his mind about the myriad thoughts this question had sparked.
Zuo Chen had seen many women of different ages, but none of them made his blood boil or his heart pound.
Despite being a public figure, Qu Jian'er rarely wears skirts and high heels for convenience.
But she is different today.
The fabric clung tightly to the person's waistline like a trickle.
The form-fitting, elegant, and luxurious garments, reminiscent of noble attire, reveal every curve and bulge, while the strapless design exposes the snow-white neck and collarbone.
She exudes an alluring scent.
Zuo Chen rubbed his temples, feeling as if he had fallen into a beautiful yet decadent dream.
The feelings of immorality and lust intertwined piled up, climbing into his spiritual sea, making it impossible for him to ignore.
It was as if he was bewitched by the person in front of him, unable to look away.
His gaze unconsciously slid over the person's face, snow-white shoulders, and slender waist, and a despicable thought even arose in his mind: to greedily eat the fruit of Eden with a human.
Zuo Chen shook his head slightly.
I despise my own promiscuous self.
He almost lost control...
The early morning light was hazy.
The sound of someone breathing heavily added a touch of ambiguity to the space.
Zuo Chen got up and walked to Qu Jian'er's side.
He chose a light-colored coat to match Qu Jian'er's Prussian blue long dress.
A light-colored shawl with a stand-up collar and reaching to the ankles, woven with a special silk thread blended with diamond powder.
It brings out a luxurious and decadent luster.
Under the soft light, the rose gold cross-shaped clasp between Qu Jian'er's collarbones gleamed with a subtle light.
Zuo Chen held the person in his arms, his dark eyes filled with satisfaction, then looked down at him.
The person in front of me had slightly upturned eyes, and their gaze seemed to be brimming with tears.
And lips that are thin yet still full.
His face is so small that it looks like he could be covered by one hand.
Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down to her waist, making her look like someone who had stepped out of a comic book.
Qu Jian'er pouted: "On such a hot day, who would wear a skirt and a coat at the same time?"
She didn't seem to spoil the atmosphere at all.
