It's a business offer.”“It's a weird offer-one that I already said no to.”There was a brief pause, and I could practically hear him clenching his jaw through the speaker.“You are acting unreasonably.”“ Unreasonable?” I sat up. “I'm not the one drafting fake girlfriend contracts like it's a normal Tuesday.”“Isabella-”“Certainly not, Mr. Walton.” I mimicked his tone perfectly. “I told you I'm not doing it.

A Deadly Secret, also translated as Requiem of Ling Sing and Secret of the Linked Cities, is a wuxia novel by Jin Yong (Louis Cha). It was first published in the magazine Southeast Asia Weekly (東南亞周刊) and the Hong Kong newspaper Ming Pao in 1963. Its original Chinese title was Su Xin Jian before Jin Yong changed it to Lian Cheng Jue. The story revolves around the adventures of the protagonist Di Yun, an ordinary young peasant, who is imprisoned after being framed. In his quest for vengeance, he accidentally acquires the Liancheng Swordplay manual (連城劍谱), an ancient artifact not only prized for the skills detailed inside, but also for containing a secret leading to a treasure.

1. Her husband died in the beast tide in order to save her.
Reborn back to the past, Chu Chu resolutely embarked on the dangerous road to find him
Every time she went to a place where she had heard him speak in a previous life, she would ask the people there: “Have you seen my husband?”
At that time, Luo Ye was only in his early twenties, with a ferocious temperament, indifference and irritability.
When he first found him, he had just finished a battle, sitting on a mountain of white bones with a fierce look on his face, and strangers should not come near
And her nose was sore, and in the terrified eyes of others, she plunged into the arms of the boy who was covered in cold air.
“husband!”

2. Luo Ye has never encountered such a speechless thing in his life
A silly girl suddenly ran over and hugged him and called her husband
He wanted to throw the person away with a cold face, but after seeing the other person’s miserable and crying face, he asked mysteriously, “Why are you crying?”
And gently help her to wipe away her tears
Then those teammates who knew his temperament were stunned, and he was stunned too.

3. I heard that Luo Ye went out and brought back a little girlfriend
Everyone wanted to see what kind of a powerful woman could be able to hold down that bastard Luoye
When they knocked on Luo Ye’s door, the first thing they saw was Team Luo’s irritable and impatient handsome face.
Looking down, they saw a little girl hanging on the chest of Team Luo, who has never been close to women.
Tender hands wrapped around his neck, thin white legs were wrapped around his waist, long hair was swept to one side, and there were still red marks on the exposed white neck.
The girl was still crying and muttering, “You hurt me”
Contrast the cyan in Luoye’s eyes and the stinky face that seems to be dissatisfied
Everyone sent out three consecutive moral questions: Are you an adult? Voluntary? Luo dog, are you human?
Luo Ye was expressionless: Go away.
——
Luo Ye was alone in his previous life. He was betrayed and expelled from the base by the people he trusted. The best brothers died for him.
As a result, I saved someone on the way, so I recruited a sticky spirit for myself.
He has no fixed place to live, and he is on a dangerous road, thinking that the other party will retreat in spite of the difficulties, and she will follow him without flinching if he does not want to go through the wind and snow.
From the clingy spirit full of disgust, to the person he puts on the top of his heart
