Chapter 64 Arranged Marriages Can Also Be Good Marriages

The garden of Prince Han's estate differed from those of all other nobles and officials in the capital. Because the Princess of Han hailed from Jinling, Zhao Zhen had incorporated many Jinling elements into the renovation of the garden to soothe his wife's nostalgia.

While the rockeries in typical gardens of the time were mostly constructed from Taihu stones, the rockery in Prince Han's estate was stacked using yellow stones brought from Qixia Mountain in Jinling. An earthenware urn was embedded within the mountain body, allowing channeled spring water to drip into it. The resulting drip-drop sound closely resembled the Jade-Singing Torrent, a famous scenic wonder in the Princess's hometown.

As the spring water overflowed...

Hearing this, Amy chuckled, though she also said with a hint of grievance, "Then why do you only torment me? Am I that easy to bully?"

Although it was a horror film, horror movies in recent years were hardly frightening at all. Chu Anyan remained practically unfazed throughout the entire screening, let alone the cliché of flinging herself into Lu Yansheng's arms.

"Brother, no matter how formidable you are, you can't just barge into someone else's room like that," Lu Xunhuan said, equally furious.

On the fighting ring, a white man standing about two meters and twenty centimeters tall, with a build as robust as a polar bear and muscles bulging like solid blocks of stone, was throwing a punch straight at his opponent's chest.

"Anyan, come over to the company right now. I've just received a new script, and the plot is quite good. Anyway, come over first and we'll talk in person. I've already sent Brother Zhang to pick you up. You're still at home, right?" Su Min blurted out, her tone clearly carrying a trace of vexation.

The two of them hurriedly tidied up and left the hotel. Before getting into the car, April called Ah Lai again, but her phone was still turned off. So she left a voice message saying they were leaving first and asked her to call back if anything came up.

"Captain!" Lin Yuanzhi cried out in surprise. The lost and dazed look in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a lively and sparkling gleam.

The so-called test of danger referred to the method she mentioned earlier, which was not foolproof, and required him to prepare himself to gamble with his life.

"Must I make everything go your way and do whatever you all say just to get what I want? I only want to make my own decisions about my future. Why is it so difficult?" Wanniu sank softly to her knees, covering her face with both hands, and spoke with a crying tone.

Competitive players were forbidden from drinking alcohol or smoking because these habits would impair their physical health. Therefore, every table was lined with an array of colorful beverages. Yogurt, pulpy orange juice, Wanglaoji herbal tea, and bottled mineral water were all readily available. The bottles and cans on the nearby shelves were arranged just like the drink aisles in a supermarket, standing by at any moment to refill the players' glass cups.

Before dealing the cards for the third round, Wuwei said to the dealer, "I want to take the dealer's position." The dealer smiled slightly and softly replied, "Very well." Then, the dealer moved the marker signifying the banker over to Wuwei.

It was said that this was Isado's proposal. Despite facing strong opposition from the elders of the Council of Elders, Isado managed to overrule everyone through his formidable prestige and authority.

After letting out a long sigh of relief, Xiong Ge waded through the water to the balcony, took out his phone, and made a call. After ringing three times, the person on the other end finally picked up.

At this moment, millions of spectators in the audience erupted into an uproar as they realized what was happening, screaming and fleeing the scene in utter chaos.

"I almost forgot to introduce them. Master's Wife, these two are Yuntian, Brother Yun, and Sister Linger. Master once said that these two are his lifesavers!" Wuyan quickly spoke up to address Ruoxi.

Whether he was trying to help Nuluo out of a tight spot or not, Ye Yun flashed a wicked smile at Pafil, deliberately waving the Purple Thunder Sword in his hand to whip up clusters of snow-white sword blossoms. As he casually blew a breath across the blade, Ye Yun cast a slightly provocative glance at Pafil, the corners of his mouth curving into a distinct arc.

Seeing Ye Yun's actions at that moment, Genosville let out a soft exclamation of surprise. Naturally, he could tell what Ye Yun was attempting to do and knew that such actions carried immense risks. Strangely enough, however, Genosville made no move to stop him.
