Sure enough, some things were meant to be and there was no escape."What's… this?" asked Mrs. Zhuo. However, she could sort of guess what it was.Zhuo Qianyun gave a wry smile. "Ye Wenming's going to fight for Lil Yan's custody with me.""You need to talk to Yiran. Didn't she say she would help you?" Mrs. Zhuo said quickly.Zhuo Qianyun nodded and looked down at the letter in her hand.Even if Yiran was willing to help her with the case, she knew that given her record as an ex-convict and her current living conditions, it would be difficult for them to win.However, she did not want to tell her mother these, lest her old mother worried even more."Alright, Mom, I'll talk to Yiran. You should go to bed early. Don't worry too much," Zhuo Qianyun said with fake nonchalance.However, Mrs. Zhuo was still worried. "If it doesn't work out, we can beg Ye Wenming. If he really wants to have children, he can get another woman to give birth to one for him. He doesn't have to fight for Lil
'Why would he investigate Zhuo Qianyun's time in jail after so many years? Is it possible that Wenming has rekindled his feelings for Zhuo Qianyun after finding her again?’Just as Kong Ziyin was speculating, the office door was suddenly pushed open and Ye Wenming came in. When he saw the document Kong Ziyin was holding, his eyes darkened slightly."What are you doing here?" asked Ye Wenming.Kong Ziyin said hesitantly, "I... I made some pastries for you. Wenming, why do you want to investigate Zhuo Qianyun?"Ye Wenming stepped forward and took the document from Kong Ziyin. "Since we want to fight for the child’s custody, we should investigate what happened to her these past few years so that we can have the upper hand."'Really?' However, Kong Ziyin was still uneasy. "Wenming, I'm so afraid. I'm afraid that you still have feelings for Zhuo Qianyun.""What are you talking about? I can't possibly have feelings for her," Ye Wenming said coldly. He turned around to return to his de
Zhuo Qianyun did not even know that the man she had saved was the one she fell in love with and the one who single-handedly sent her to prison.'I’ll never let Wenming and Zhuo Qianyun find out about this!'I’ll be the Ye family's mistress!'...After Ling Yiran received the papers from Lawyer Gu, she realized she was going to send them to Gu Group.She was immediately shocked.Lawyer Gu asked, "Is there a problem? They need the papers urgently. It’ll only be a waste of time to use the express delivery. That's why I need you to run this errand.""No," said Ling Yiran.If she wanted to avoid Gu Lichen, she probably could not work in a majority of the firms in Shen City. After all, many firms were more or less involved in Gu Group's legal affairs.There were many legal disputes among the celebrities under the Gu Group in one year alone.Ling Yiran came to Gu Group's building with the papers in hand and explained her purpose to the receptionist."Alright, just a moment, please,
She had no control over where Gu Lichen wanted to go in Gu Group.Therefore, when Gu Lichen followed Ling Yiran to the company's legal department, the department was shocked. The head of the department respectfully led the two into the conference room. He carefully took the papers from Ling Yiran and said with an awkward smile, "Thank you. Next time, you can just give us a call and we'll send someone over to pick the documents up."After all, it was obvious this woman held a certain position in the crown prince’s heart if she could make him accompany her here.Even the head of the department was speculating whether the woman was the one the crown prince said he was in love with in the interview.When the interview was released, everyone in the company was shocked. Many people wondered who the woman the crown prince loved was.Although the crown prince changed girlfriends one after another, he had never used the word ‘love’ on them.Therefore, many had privately discussed how a ma
Her heart felt like it had skipped a beat, and his eyes almost seemed to see right through her."Gu Lichen." Ling Yiran took a deep breath. This time, instead of calling him Mr. Gu, she said his name. "Yes, I do hope you won't fall in love with me. I just want to live a peaceful life and not play any more games."He said earnestly, "I've never thought of my love for you as a game. If you think I'm not serious enough, then tell me what I have to do to make you think I'm serious."She bit her lip slightly. "I'm tired. I really have no strength to love anymore.""Then I'll love you. You can love me when you have the strength. I just hope you'll stop rejecting me," he said.She looked at him in confusion. "Why must it be me? I have no family background and was even imprisoned for three years. Besides, I'm not the one you were looking for."However, she spoke the latter part with some guilt."Yes, why must it be you?" murmured Gu Lichen as he lifted his finger and stroked her cheek.
"Why... Why don't I just wait in his office?" asked Hua Lifang."I'm afraid that's inappropriate. It's best if you wait outside, Miss Hua," said the secretary.Hua Lifang gritted her teeth and sat down on the couch outside.She only felt that the secretary was treating her differently today. Although she seemed respectful and even offered her a cup of coffee when she sat down, she was no longer fawning over her.'Is it because... Lichen has openly stated that we're not a couple in the interview?' Hua Lifang's heart was filled with rage at the thought.Due to Lichen's statement, she got all sorts of taunts from her coursemates in university, not to mention the snobs in the cast.A lot of people fawned over her because of Lichen, and now it was like she had been knocked back into shape.Just then, Hua Lifang saw a senior executive getting out of the elevator. He approached the secretary and asked, "President Gu hasn't come back yet?""Yes, I heard that President Gu went to the le
"Yiran, Lichen said he’s in love with you the other day at the police station. What about you? What do you think of him? It seems that Mr. Yi Jinli also cares about you. Did you and Mr. Yi... really break up?" Hua Lifang probed.Ling Yiran merely looked at her and did not reply.Hua Lifang put on a sad expression. "Yiran, you know I'm not well educated, and I was with the wrong man. Lichen is now the only one I can rely on, and... After spending time with him these days, I really like Lichen."As she spoke, she put on another blushing expression. "You still have Yi Jinli, but I only have Lichen left. You're not going to take Lichen from me, right?"Ling Yiran stared at Hua Lifang until the latter felt guilty."Yiran, why are you looking at me like that? I... I know I've said some things that have upset you in the past, but now I'm telling you this with all my heart.""Do you expect me to say that I don't love Gu Lichen and I don't have any ideas about him so that you can feel at
Gao Congming dared not ask any more questions and started the car, driving slowly away from the area.Yi Jinli closed his eyes gently as if he was tired. The moment he saw her, his empty heart seemed to fill up little by little.However, when she disappeared from his sight, his heart... seemed to feel empty again.'She can still easily affect my mood. She can make me feel content or frustrated!'Is it impossible for me to not love her?'"Congming, do you think I'm still in love with Ling Yiran?" Yi Jinli's voice suddenly rang in the car.Gao Congming stiffened, thinking it was a trick question!"Well... Young Master Yi, you..." Gao Congming wondered what to say."Tell me the truth!" Yi Jinli said coldly as if he had guessed his intention.Therefore, Gao Congming could only go all out and say, "Young Master Yi, the way you look at Miss Ling is the way men look at women. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gotten so angry after knowing that Young Master Gu is in love with Miss Ling."
