Chapter 291: It Gets Sweeter the More You Hug

Discussing Yao Wanying's public gracefulness and private cruelty.

Discussing Qin Zhongsong's indifference and occasional displays of fatherly affection.

Discussing Mrs. Qin, who has been rumored to be in poor health for decades yet seems to have an everlasting battery life.

And the years of entanglements between the three.

As they talked until the sky turned pale, the voice of Qin Chu had grown fainter, and then only the steady, prolonged sound of breathing remained.

Ye Li had no desire to sleep.

At social gatherings among ladies of the Imperial Capital's rich family, Ye Li knew most of them.

They would start with talks about bags, jewelry, and fashion shows, but after a few drinks, they would turn into a venting session.

One would complain about a cheating, no-good boyfriend.

Another would talk about her parents arguing; despite being a hundred years old combined, they still acted like children threatening divorce.

Ye Li had none of these troubles.
