Chapter 377: 246 Becoming a Landlady, Wuye’s Flirtatious Confession (Two More Chapters)

Exiting Peach Garden as dusk fell, the setting sun filtered through the car window, casting a particularly gentle glow on everything.

The old lady removed her glasses, pinching the bridge of her nose with an exhausted expression, "Wanwan, when are you going back to Pingjiang?"
