Saintess Summons Skeletons - Chapter 214: Tears of a lost child

I despised her. I despised how she schemed to get married to me. I despised her because of her arrogance.

“Li Rui, you don't know how many times I have wished to kill you.”

But all of this was my illusion. Everything was a mysterious trap of lies. A trap that was laid to trap me.

“Rui, I want to protect you from this whole world. I will not ask you to love me.....just don't hate me. Hmm....”

The story of a lover that was never destined to get the girl he loved but his fate led him to her.

The Empire stands triumphant.

For twenty years the Dread Empress has ruled over the lands that were once the Kingdom of Callow, but behind the scenes of this dawning golden age threats to the crown are rising. The nobles of the Wasteland, denied the power they crave, weave their plots behind pleasant smiles. In the north the Forever King eyes the ever-expanding borders of the Empire and ponders war. The greatest danger lies to the west, where the First Prince of Procer has finally claimed her throne: her people sundered, she wonders if a crusade might not be the way to secure her reign. Yet none of this matters, for in the heart of the conquered lands the most dangerous man alive sat across an orphan girl and offered her a knife.

Her name is Catherine Foundling, and she has a plan.

What should I do if my ex-boyfriend is in a relationship with a wealthy widow and wants to accompany her to a baby show, acting like a loving father and a filial son?

Qu Ning transformed into the aunt of her ex-boyfriend and took her stepson to the baby show together.

When the variety show starts airing, other parents prepare delicious food for their children every day, but the ex-boyfriend’s family’s food is different.

Qu Ning: “Son, please be self-reliant.”

Other parents raise their children in a fancy and joyful way, but my ex-boyfriend’s family sets a model worker standard.

Qu Ning: “Son, just stay alive.”

–

At first, the stepson didn’t like Qu Ning and called her a vicious stepmother.

Later, Qu Ning said, “I count to three,” and the stepson obediently called Mom.

The audience couldn’t stand it: [Qu Ning is too fierce and terrifying. ]

The stepson learned to surf the Internet overnight: “Don’t meddle in other people’s business, this is what I do.” ]

No one expected that Qu Ning’s method of raising a baby in reverse would become popular all over the Internet, and various interview invitations came one after another.

The ex-boyfriend was envious and resentful: “Qu Ning, do you think it’s really easy to get into a wealthy family? As a stepmother, you will soon be the end of the line.”

Qu Ning smiled half-heartedly: “You must be the stepfather, but I may not be the stepmother.”

Ex-boyfriend:? ?
