"Pfft!"
The name sounded so rustic, with a pun thrown in for good measure.
Yue Xiaofei, who had kept his commanding air until now, finally cracked and laughed aloud.

The more she thought about it, the less she could bear to stay away. In the end, she had secretly taken a taxi there.
Afraid of being spotted, Su Wanning had found an inconspicuous corner and sat down like any other customer, sipping juice
