“Does shaking your ass mean you want me to hit more?” Again without her ever answering! She heard a fricative sound and weeping as she buried her face in the sheet.

It was thrilling rather than hurting. Even though she was having an absurd experience of being hit by her husband, Ezet’s body gave strength to her belly and raised her hips higher by raising her knees. The friction spread from the hips to the thighs.

“You said you didn’t want to be forced to do it, but it seems it feels good to get a hit on your butt.”

“Ah, no!”

“Then what is the reason you shake your hips in front of me?”

“Haa!”

Slap, slap. A sensation of excitement and heat continued to pour out, and even though the affected area was swollen red, the buttocks continued to tingle. The trembling didn’t stop as if she was addicted to the hitting sensation. Not knowing that her legs were starting to get wet, she moaned and shook her ass. <<less

When they met again, she plunged a knife into his chest and smiled cunningly in the arms of another man, treating him like a stranger.

He pressed her against the wall, “Jiang Wan Yu, who is that damn man?”

Jiang Wan Yu pushed away his restraining arms, and coldly smiled, “Of course, he's my husband, my child's father!”

“I won't allow it! You can't leave me unless I'm dead!” The man erupted in anger.

Jiang Wan Yu sneered, ”You won't allow it? Who do you think you are? What right do you have to forbid anything, Lin Yi Chen? Everything you once looked down upon, there are plenty of men who appreciate it! I no longer need you!” <<less

The first time Hu Die met Jing Yu, he thought she was a world-weary girl who committed su*cide.

The second time they met, he told Hu Die indifferently: “If you jump down again today, I’m not saving you again.”

Later, she told him: “Jing Yu, don’t feel sorry for me.”

Later, Jing Yu returned to the arena and won the glory that belonged to him.

Under the flashing lights, he suddenly remembered the girl’s voice, and said a nonsensical remark in front of thousands of people.

——”I’m not sad, I just think that at such a moment, it would be better if you’re here.”

“He is a whale swimming in the ocean. One day, a butterfly inadvertently broke into his frequency. That was the most beautiful moment in his life.” <<less

Man, you’re my man, the time we spent together...... more>>

His chest seemed to have been burned by the fire. It hurt so much, but it could not compare with the gaze of the man standing in front of him. His eyes was gentle but brought him heartache, so that Pei Yi lost all of his courage and wanted to escape.

“I’m back... Pei Yi.”

Familiar tone and long-lost voice suddenly came into Pei Yi’s ears.

Pei Yi’s eyes turned red in an instant.

Shen Dian.

It’s Shen Dian!

He came back...

Pei Yi was shocked and widened his eyes, staring at the face in disbelief. That face should have faded away in his memory but was indeed clear in his mind at this moment.

He still couldn’t believe it.

Shen Dian was really back and even gracefully showed up in front of him in spite of everything.

His mind went blank and his eyes were blurred.

Until hearing that familiar name again, Pei Yi accepted the truth that Shen Dian was really... back.

“...Haven’t seen you for a long time, Xiaoyi.”

Xiaoyi.

He called him lovingly. Only one person in this world would call him like this.

It was Shen Dian. <<less

My birthday present, my grandfather’s souvenir when he went abroad, the fountain pen I got when I passed the first place at school… all of them were stolen by my sister. My parents only love my little sister and scold me, saying things like “Be patient with her because you’re her sister!”

“It’s almost your sister’s 16th birthday. Since it’s a celebration of coming of age, everyone should give you something more expensive than before, right? I wanted a new hair ornament, brooch, earrings and necklace.!”

From a month before my birthday, this makes me think about the day.

“Bianca is the older sister, so naturally you will give the present to your younger sister, Mia, right? Since you’re an older sister, you’ll listen to your cute younger sister Mia’s request, right?”

My parents acquiesced to my sister stealing my belongings, or rather, they were affirmative.

What’s more, there’s no better gift than this to make your sister and parents go crazy!

On the day of my birthday, my sister stepped on the ground and regretted the present I had received. <<less
