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."
Su Xi was taken away by the bailiffs while Ling Yiran was left stunned.'Does Su Xi's confession have anything to do with Gu Lichen?'Lawyer Gu seemed to be deep in thought.When Ling Yiran and Lawyer Gu got to the court entrance, they saw a Maserati parked in front of the court. Gu Lichen got out and looked up at Ling Yiran.Lawyer Gu tapped Ling Yiran on the shoulder and said, "Thank Mr. Gu for me. Without him, this case wouldn't have been so easy."With that, Lawyer Gu walked down the steps, greeted Gu Lichen, and left.Ling Yiran was still standing on the steps, looking down at Gu Lichen.Gu Lichen, with his chin slightly tilted back, looked at Ling Yiran as well.Some of the people who came out of the court seemed to notice this and looked in their direction.Ling Yiran took a deep breath and walked down the steps toward Gu Lichen. Although Gu Lichen might not be a celebrity, he was easily recognized because of his identity as the crown prince of the entertainment industr
"No thanks. It's an old illness. Yi Jinli has also taken me to see a specialist," said Ling Yiran as she pulled back her hand. The doctor had made it clear that the optimal treatment period for her fingers had long passed.Some of the medicine she took afterward was just to ease the pain she felt when the weather was cold and humid."You're already here anyway. Just let Dr. Su have a look. Dr. Su doesn't see patients easily," said Gu Lichen as he dragged Ling Yiran into the small clinic.Ling Yiran could only see a deserted clinic. An old man in a white coat and a scruffy white beard was sitting in a chair. On the wall in front of him was a 32-inch TV, playing a cheesy sad romance TV series that was a hit these days.Ling Yiran had heard her colleagues talking about the TV series in the office. It was said to be a real tear-jerker.The old man was watching attentively with a serious expression on his face, almost as if he was watching a documentary show."Dr. Su, is it possible t
It seemed that Dr. Su was indeed as capable as Gu Lichen said!Her replies of “yes” were imprinted in Gu Lichen's heart, and it seemed to be setting off waves.'What else has she suffered? Her nails were pulled out, and her fingers were broken... Who did these?' He even felt the urge to kill!With a grave face, Dr. Su felt every bone of Ling Yiran's fingers. After a long while, he said, "Come, let's take an X-ray. I need to see how your fingers are doing."Then, Ling Yiran saw a screening isolation room that did not match the small clinic at all.When they finished taking the X-ray, Dr. Su examined the film carefully and was deep in thought for a long time. He said to Ling Yiran, "You didn't get proper treatment after you injured your fingers. You've missed the golden period of treatment.""I know," said Ling Yiran. The specialist Yi Jinli found for her also said the same thing.Dr. Su said, "Your fingers probably hurt whenever it gets cold and humid. It must be difficult for yo
"Don't mention it. I just brought you here. If Dr. Su said they can be cured, then they will." As Gu Lichen drove around, he asked casually, "When did you injure your hands?" "It's been almost four years," replied Ling Yiran.'Almost 4 years... It must have been when she was in prison.' Then, Gu Lichen asked again, "Did you injure them in prison?"Ling Yiran was silent and did not reply, but the expression on her face gave him the answer."Who did it? Who hurt you this way?" There was a trace of anger in Gu Lichen's voice. 'Who on earth treated her so cruelly?'He knew she was imprisoned before, but he had never given much thought to what she went through in there.Only now did he realize that she had suffered such pain.Ling Yiran said lightly, "It doesn't matter anymore.""Who was it?” Gu Lichen asked again."What's the point even if I told you? Can I make them suffer all the pain I've suffered?""Why not?" Gu Lichen's eyes flashed with cruelty. He would make anyone who mi
Back then, she had no memory of him or the promises they made during their childhood.Ling Yiran picked up a piece of pancake and began to eat. 'I’m just having dinner with Chenchen today.'Just like their promise, she had come to Shen City and he was treating her to lots of delicious food!...At night, a Maserati pulled up slowly and stopped in the neighborhood. Ling Yiran got out of the car. She had only taken two steps when Gu Lichen's voice came from behind her."Wait!" He caught up with a takeaway box in his hand and handed it to Ling Yiran. "These are the pancakes we had earlier. I saw you enjoying them, so I asked the restaurant to pack up another portion."Ling Yiran pursed her lips slightly before taking it. "Thank you." She could not refuse because they were pancakes.It was like... how she could not reject Chenchen when they were little and were fulfilling their promise.When she took the takeaway box, his hand grabbed her hands. His sight fell on her two hands. "Yo
‘These few days, Ling Yiran had been coming home alone, so it was alright. However, Young Master Gu sent Ling Yiran home today and now… Young Master Gu's holding Ling Yiran's hands as they’re looking at each other, just like a couple!'Gao Congming just hoped Gu Lichen and Ling Yiran would separate as soon as possible. 'If they keep on hanging around like this, who knows what Young Master Yi would do?!’...Ling Yiran walked to her rental house with a box of pancakes in her hand. She took out the keys from her bag and opened the door. Just as she was about to push the door open and walk in, another hand beat her to the door and pushed it open.Ling Yiran was taken aback and turned around immediately, only to see Yi Jinli standing behind her."When did you come?" she asked in confusion.He was wearing a thin light-colored sweater and a pair of black trousers. With his handsome face, he looked just like Prince Charming. However, his face was dark and there was restraint, struggle,
He put her hands under the tap and took the soap to wash her hands with. He washed her hands over and over again as if to rinse off all the traces, smell, and temperature Gu Lichen had left on her hands...Ling Yiran tried to withdraw her hands from Yi Jinli's grasp but it was to no avail.She had no idea how many times he had washed her hands. They began to ache. "Yi Jinli, stop it. What do you want?"He turned off the tap, picked up the towel nearby, and dried her hands carefully. "Don't let Gu Lichen touch your hands again."He could not bear the thought of what he had seen earlier. His body seemed to have been filled with jealousy.He was afraid that she would fall in love with Gu Lichen!"Stop saying things that will irritate me," he said.Ling Yiran was stunned for a moment before laughing. "Should I still be in love with you even after we’ve broken up?"He stopped what he was doing and raised his eyes to meet her calm, almond-shaped eyes.There was no panic in those eye
