Futile Devices Scans

Whether it was “a little” or “two little bits” did not matter; what mattered was that Lu Xingyan had suddenly gained a real sense of being loved. Jiang Ji had clearly not said much—only given him a look and a laugh—yet Lu Xingyan received some secret signal exchanged between lovers, and his floating heart seemed…

Looking on the bright side, although the process had gone somewhat off track, the overall result was correct: Secretary Lu was out of a job. —No one was better at changing his tune than Lu Xingyan. Yesterday, he had thrown a tantrum over being fired; the very next day, he suddenly adopted an entirely positive…

It was not yet eight when Jiang Ji left the house. The evening breeze was unbearably hot and humid against his face, as though rain were on the way. He drove to the place where the mahjong game had been arranged: Tang Lei’s home. Jiang Ji did not avoid people who had once had feelings…

Since Secretary Lu had gotten the job through connections, Jiang Ji needed a superficially reasonable excuse if he wanted to fire him; otherwise, it would be difficult to explain once they got home. Jiang Ji could not think of one for the moment, so he dragged it out for several more days. During those few…

Snap! The straw plunged hard into the cup of milk tea. He Zhen handed it to Fang Huan Xing. “Here. Your big sis is treating you to milk tea!” The large office was lively and cheerful. Team Leader He didn’t drink milk tea herself, but she loved treating everyone else. Whenever she was around, she…

Feng Ya Lun’s situation cast a pall of gloom over everyone at Yimate. Within Yimate, Feng Ya Lun was the company’s number-one male star. Outside the company, he was Yimate’s public face. For something like this to happen to him was the equivalent of Yimate being slapped hard across the face. Ma Rui’s mood these…

Lan Xi hadn’t expected the first thing Fu Hui said to him to be that, so for a moment, he didn’t know how to react. But Fu Hui had already spoken again. “Still pretending to be mute?” His tone was neither cold nor warm, perfectly calm, yet the bodyguard beside him couldn’t help shrinking his…

Downstairs, Yan Xiaodao straightened the collar of his suit and opened the door. Standing outside was, unexpectedly, a graceful figure dressed in an ultra-short kimono that exposed two snow-white thighs. Judging by her outfit, she was a member of the Mount Fuji Song-and-Dance Troupe Watanabe’s people had brought aboard. Apparently, their boss lying in a…

The next day, July 31, Meng Jianmin finally returned after all, safe and sound, without anything having happened to him. Everyone was both surprised and overjoyed. As for Meng Jianmin himself, he never could have imagined the unprecedented reception waiting for him at the factory. The moment he and Xiaojing stepped off the train, he…

“I remember you. So you’re still alive.” The naked corpse descended the steps, blood slowly winding down the side of his leg. Looking at Song Zang, he spoke gently once more. “Will you bury me?” He still seemed rational and capable of communication. Song Zang’s voice trembled slightly as he tried his best to soothe…

Qi Mu had never been carried bridal-style in his entire life. During the mere few steps from the living room to the bedroom, Qi Mu felt as though he had lost all the face he possessed in this lifetime. Thank goodness no one was there to see it… At last, Qi Mu felt himself being…

Liao Shang had already taken a shortcut and hurried ahead, but when he reached the entrance of the Ministry of Justice, he still spotted that solitary, aloof figure at a glance—the crowd keeping well away from him—and the white beast crouched at his feet, watching everyone like prey. “The Ministry of Justice is handling a…

The moment the driver behind them saw Xing Yong’s police ID and then spotted Liang Ming Yue lying across the seats of the sedan, he immediately behaved himself. Not only did he behave himself, he became extraordinarily enthusiastic. Despite having smashed half the headlight on his SUV, he got back inside and volunteered to lend…

Sure enough, it was a bright red sedan. The sedan was decorated with great lengths of red silk. Four sedan bearers carried it, while more than a dozen men in front cleared the way with gongs and drums. Perhaps because it was still early, there were hardly any people on the streets, so the procession…

A cold gust blew in through the window. Ke Bu pulled his clothes tighter around himself. Winter had come around again. He rubbed his hands together, but nothing seemed capable of warming him up. They should really be turning the heat on in the classroom soon, he thought, lightly stamping his feet. Ke Bu hated…

“That isn’t what happened! Imperial Noble Lord has misunderstood His Majesty. His Majesty never intended to harm Imperial Noble Lord!” At those words, Xuan Guang’s normally coffin-like expression finally shattered. He looked up at Nalan Xuan for the first time, his face filled with alarm and anxiety. Unfortunately, what Xuan Guang chose to say was…

“Ha! What an excellent ‘I cannot disclose it’! What an excellent ‘the imperial harem must not interfere in government’! If you truly were merely an official of the court, would I be questioning you like this? Tell me, which court official speaks before His Majesty without calling himself ‘this minister’? Even the humblest and most…

The appearance of one person shattered every trace of calm and turned the life Nalan Xuan had thought so real into a ridiculous deception. The carefully performed façade cracked open, exposing the hypocrisy beneath it yet again. As usual, Feng Xuanyi came straight to Moon-Embracing Palace after morning court. Perhaps he wanted to prevent Nalan…

The days passed one after another, peaceful on the surface, yet somehow beginning to feel different. Nalan Xuan’s relationship with Feng Xuanyi seemed to improve steadily. Feng Xuanyi came when he was summoned and left when he was dismissed; his complete indulgence and favor were enough to satisfy even the most excessive vanity. Yet this…
