Chapter 900
Then Xu Jiamu's arms, which were resting on both arms of his chair, flung around Song Xiangsi, trapping her in his embrace . He lowered his head and stared into her eyes . "Xiangsi, can you not be like this? Let's talk it out . Please?"
When had the old Xu Jiamu ever spoke to Song Xiangsi like that?
When she used to act arrogant, the old him would of only arrogantly got angry .
But the him right now was actually speaking in a polite and negotiating kind of tone of voice .
Just what did he mean by this . . . Could it be that he wanted to . . .
Song Xiangsi stopped her thoughts there, as her heart couldn't help but feel mocked . Why was she always so unrepentant?
At first, she was softhearted with him, time and time again . In the end, he canceled their deal and got engaged with someone else .
It was because she had hoped so many times now, so she ended up with despair .
So, Song XIangsi, I beg you, don't be such a pushover . This time, you didn't come back to the country to start over again with Xu Jiamu . You're here for your father . When your father is well again, you have to go back to America . Your life is good right now . Even though every now and then you get sad thinking about him, you're at peace . Don't hurt yourself time and time again . . .
Song Xiangsi tightened her grip, then shot Xu Jiamu a smirk and an emotionless smile . "Mr . Xu, what is the meaning of this? You want to relight the fire? If I remember correctly, you said it with your own mouth three years ago that you and I have nothing to do with each other!
"So, Mr . Xu, I believe there's nothing we really need to say to each other . After all, I'm no one to you and you're no one to me . "

Xu Jiamu grabbed both arms of the chair . His knuckles turned white, protruding under his sheer force .
"Oh, that's not right . " Song Xiangsi looked at the man as though he was weird and chuckled . "For three years, I wasn't your anything, nor you mine! It was just a business deal between us before . A deal settled with money, one after which we owed nothing to the other party . "
"In your heart, is that what you've always thought?" Xu Jiamu held his breath, pausing with each word of his question .
"Or what?" asked Song Xiangsi bemused . She lifted her head and stared into Xu Jiamu's eyes . "Or else, why would I have aborted your child . . . "
Before she could finish, Xu Jiamu suddenly turned away . His breathing hastened, viciousness creeping up into his face .
Just as Song Xiangsi thought that he would get angry like he did three years ago, he suddenly loosened his grip on the chair . He took a step back, then turned around and stared out the window, and said flatly, "Leave . About your contract, tell your manager to come in and discuss the details . "
Song Xiangsi sat in her chair with a cold expression on her face for a while, then without making a sound, she stood up, picked up her bag, and walked out the door .
Xu Jiamu stood still on the spot without moving . It was not until he heard Song Xiangsi shut the door that his whole body trembled gently .
Soon enough, the door was pushed open and he heard the voice of her manager . "Chief Xu, the contract . . . "
"I'll ask someone to send the contract to you later," he said without even waiting for the manager to finish talking .
"Okay," replied the woman . "Then goodbye, Chief Xu . "

The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.
