And when all the hugging and kissing and intimate last squeezes had been completed, they all crowded around the car, as Michael and she prepared to leave.
Chen MingYun's expression became odd.
Mondar mandir diruanganku sambil terus mengamati dinding kamarku yang menyatu dengan dinding kamarnya. Aku bisa menebak, ia pasti tengah meringkuk di dalam selimut sembari meringis ketakutan. Bagaimana ini? Haruskan aku menghampirinya? Tapi itu hanya akan meruntuhkan pertahananku selama ini. Kucoba untuk menyalakan televisi dan menikmati siaran tersebut, tetap tidak bisa membuatku berhenti memikirkannya. Sepertinya aku tidak bisa menahannya lagi. Segera aku melangkah keluar.
At this point, he could not prevent himself from sighing. The Prime Minister was too greedy. He practically owned the kingdom now but still sought for the royal family's portion also.
" Ye na "
"Ying Yue," she replied, before directing his mouth to hers once more.

I need to talk about how this author controls pacing because it's genuinely impressive. The chapter starts light—Su family finding mushrooms and ginseng, Old Man Su being dramatic about keeping it secret. It's almost comedic. Then you cut to Su Muyao outside, villagers swarming her, and it's warm and funny. The village chief scene is breezy and optimistic. Everyone's happy, things are going well. And then—BAM. Chapter 17 pivots hard into the Liu family, and the tone shifts so violently it almost gives you whiplash. One minute you're smiling at Su Muyao defending her grandpa, the next you're reading about a father trying to suffocate his newborn twins. The contrast is jarring, and that's exactly the point. The author doesn't warn you. You just get dropped into the horror. Then it cuts back to Su Muyao going fishing, and the relief is almost physical. But even there, the pacing keeps things moving—those fish are too big, the net is too small, Su Sanlang gets frustrated and storms off. The chapter ends on a note of unresolved tension. What I love is how the author uses Su Muyao as an anchor. No matter how dark things get in the Liu household, we always come back to her—sweet, clever, completely unaware that her entire identity might be a lie. That structural choice keeps the reader emotionally grounded while the plot spirals outward in multiple directions. The cliffhanger with the Liu family potentially discovering the truth, combined with the villagers gathering at the river, means there are at least three threads about to collide. I can't wait.
"Me? I am the Collector."
"It will, I think my parents like you, for some reason, my father said you looked like a brave knight, willing to defend anyone."
"Kan biasanya lo yang nentuin," balasku.
You all must be thinking who the hell is Rick.
