King Shiyu's Thoughts

Chu Qing said smugly, "My treasure was discovered by my adoptive mother."

"Anyone who laid eyes on it would be utterly bewitched, gasp in amazement, and lose themselves in it!"

Hua Yu glanced at Madam Jin, and her face reddened even more.

Sure enough, this young man liked the voluptuous kind; no wonder the heads of those aristocratic families kept hinting, inside and outside their words, that she should make a little sacrifice.
