Living in Love

Slow-Burn! Lighthearted! Although she was once an assassin and has known the pain of despair, she has never lost her ability to love and feel loved!

Excerpts:

After hanging up, Peng Jun felt rather dejected. Liu Shuang's father had gotten so worried about her that he fell ill, while his own father wanted to skin him alive and tear out his sinews! His fiery enthusiasm had been doused with a bucket of ice water, so thoroughly that not even a wisp of steam rose.

Yang Liu had figured it out: the hitting wasn't really hitting, and the pain wasn't really pain! This father and son were just making a fuss for no reason! What was that saying back home? When it's cloudy and rainy and there's nothing to do, you stay home and beat the kids for fun! Their family was probably just like that: one was used to hitting, and the other was used to wailing!

Li Jerry happily carried two suitcases, one large and one small, into the room. He kept singing, "Thanks and praise to my Lord! All glory to my Savior!" He just didn't thank Yang Liu!

"I can't take it! Let's go back!" Li Jerry cried, completely humiliated. Yang Liu panicked. She hadn't meant to make him cry!

Just as Yang Liu joked, "Big Brother! Sister-in-law! From now on, don't say a word! You look so cultured when you just sit there and look at each other. The moment you open your mouths, it's over! All that culture vanishes!"

Li Jie stared at Liu Shuang for a long time without saying a word. At last, he spoke, making everyone in the room laugh until they were in tears: "You look way more advanced than a caveman, so how come your brain isn't as good as one?"

Liu Shuang didn't say anything either. After everyone had laughed themselves out a little, she sighed and said to Li Jie, "Ah, my friend, you have no idea! Once I dreamed that a caveman wanted to trade brains with me. Of course I refused. Who knew you'd suddenly show up and volunteer to trade with him? After you two switched, the caveman naturally ended up smarter than me."

Li Zijin shot Li Jerry a smug look. Hmph! You want to take me on? Just watch me bury you under a big hat!

Seeing Li Zijin look at her with a wicked grin, Yang Liu said to Meng Xin in annoyance, "Is chasing someone really that complicated? Do you have to make it like the Liuyang River?"

"The Liuyang River?" Meng Xin looked confused, but soon understood what Yang Liu meant. He chuckled and scratched the back of his head. "Hey! The difference in strength was just too great, so I didn't dare confront them head-on. I had to take the roundabout route to save the country!"

Yang Liu shuddered at the thought. What if, as soon as this child was born, the only thing they recognized was the Red Five-Star Heart? Other people's children start talking and say "Mom" and "Dad." What if mine starts off saying "tractor" and "bomb"?

Yang Liu smiled, thought for a moment, then said, "Do what I ought to do, fulfill my responsibilities, and leave the outcome in God's hands. God is in control of everything, not any one of us or any group of us! You don't need to worry about things that aren't yours to worry about!"
