After some time, she heard Dr. Su's voice. "We're done!"The sharp tingling on the back of her hand subsided, and Ling Yiran breathed a long sigh of relief before opening her eyes.Gu Lichen's forearm immediately caught her eye.Ling Yiran finally realized she had been grasping his forearm and immediately let go. "I'm sorry!""It's fine. I asked you to grab it in the first place," said Gu Lichen as he withdrew his hand.Dr. Su said to Ling Yiran, "Alright, come again this time next week. Be careful and don't touch water for three hours after you get back. Don't lift anything heavy with your hands either.""Okay," said Ling Yiran.When they left Dr. Su's small clinic, Gu Lichen said, "I'll drive you home.""I… can take the bus myself," she said, turning to leave.He stopped her and said, "Sending you home doesn't mean you have to promise me anything. You don't need to avoid me like this.""I just don't want to give you any more trouble." She pushed his hand away, making him gr
Ling Yiran looked up into those dark phoenix eyes. The outer corners of those deep, narrow phoenix eyes turned slightly upward. It seemed those eyes could easily seduce people when they were focused on someone.Somehow Ling Yiran's nose felt a bit sore. Maybe because he was Chenchen, or maybe because he was suffering the pain with her.She used to endure the pain alone, but she had someone to suffer with her this time."Don't be so nice to me, Gu Lichen. It's not worth it," she murmured. 'I can't afford your kindness.'He said, "It's not for you to decide whether it's worth it or not. It's for me to decide. I think it's worth it even if it hurts!"She stared at him blankly, and for a moment, it was as if something passed through her heart....After sending Ling Yiran back to her place and watching her disappear from his sight, Gu Lichen looked down at the bandage on his right forearm."Yiran..." he murmured her name. His lips gently kissed the bandage as if with endless affect
Therefore, the senior executives kept guessing as they waited on pins and needles.After about ten minutes, Yi Jinli finally put down his phone and coldly spat out the words, "Go on!"The senior executives went on with their meeting in fear. They were cautious with their words and spoke softly, fearing that they might accidentally offend the president.Gao Congming looked at his boss' gloomy face and groaned in his heart. He saw what Young Master Yi just saw, but he was more afraid because of that.'Why did those two bodyguards send Young Master Yi photos of Gu Lichen and Ling Yiran together? Don't they know it'll upset Young Master Yi?'They should send some decent photos if they wanted to!There was no need to send him photos of Gu Lichen and Ling Yiran so close together, especially the photo where Ling Yiran was holding one of Gu Lichen's arms and putting an adhesive bandage on him.Besides, the photos were taken aesthetically, especially the shot of Ling Yiran and Gu Lichen
Zhuo Qianyun was already busy with work at the food stall. When she saw Ling Yiran, she greeted her warmly, "Why are you here today?"Ling Yiran said, "I'm free this evening, so I thought I'd come and see you. Is anyone still bothering you these days?"Zhuo Qianyun's expression changed slightly. Seeing this, Ling Yiran immediately asked, "Someone's still bothering you?""It's alright. I reported it to the police afterward, and the police will be patrolling these two nights. However—"Before Zhuo Qianyun could finish talking, a few people who looked like thugs suddenly came to the stall. As soon as they came over, they drove her customers away and ordered a few of the cheapest dishes. Just like that, they filled all the tables.Zhuo Qianyun only had four folding tables, so there were no more empty tables as soon as they appeared.When a customer wanted to share the table, they would scare them away angrily!Ling Yiran frowned. "Is this... how they bother you?"Zhuo Qianyun smile
Gu Lichen did not expect Ling Yiran to come to him. After all, she always seemed to keep her distance from him.However, he was somewhat surprised when he knew why she came to him."You want to go to the charity gala tonight?" asked Gu Lichen."Yeah. Can I?" Ling Yiran asked eagerly.Gu Lichen said, "Why not? But you have to let me know why you want to attend the gala so suddenly. You're not after some celebrity, are you?"After all, several top celebrities were attending the charity gala, so the event was attracting a lot of fans.However, if she was really after some celebrity, he could give her a hand.People in the entertainment industry would show him some respect."I want to meet Ye Wenming and Kong Ziyin. I heard they'll be attending the charity gala tonight," said Ling Yiran."Meet them?" Doubt flashed across Gu Lichen's eyes. "They're attending the charity gala, but you and them...""It's a little personal. It has to do with a friend of mine." Ling Yiran stopped sho
"You rejected Lichen?" asked Sam as he looked at Ling Yiran in surprise.Ling Yiran immediately felt a little awkward. After all, Gu Lichen was right in front of her.Just as she was struggling to answer, Sam continued to do her makeup, saying, "You're brave. It's the first time I've ever seen a woman rejecting Lichen's advances.""You seem pleased that I was rejected?" Gu Lichen glanced sideways at Sam."I haven't seen this before. It's refreshing." Sam grinned. Although he was chatting, he did not stop his movements at all. When the car arrived at the gala's entrance, Ling Yiran's makeup and hairstyle were done!"I didn't prepare a gown. You said you’d prepare one," said Sam as he looked at Gu Lichen.Gu Lichen handed Ling Yiran a bag containing the gown. "The gown is in the bag. It should be the right size. Get changed in the car. We'll get off first!"With that, he asked everyone in the car to get down except for Ling Yiran.Ling Yiran opened the bag and looked at the gown
It was as if he feared the hug would crush her if it was any tighter."Sorry..." She heard his voice in her ears. "Yiran, can you... let me hold you like this for a while?" he murmured. There was a slight sob to his voice, and it sounded like he was begging her.At this moment, he sounded almost inferior.He was the high and mighty crown prince of the entertainment industry. When had he ever begged someone like this?Ling Yiran felt as though something was blocking her heart. She did not move and stayed quietly in Gu Lichen's arms.He held her carefully as if he was holding a beautiful dream. She could smell his scent and hear his heartbeat.After some time, he finally pulled away.Gu Lichen apologized for the second time and said, "Sorry, I was a little impulsive... just now and mistook you... for someone in my imagination.""It's alright," muttered Ling Yiran, knowing who he was referring to."It won't happen again." His phoenix eyes stared at her, and his voice said firmly,
"I... Hehe. I heard that many celebrities will be attending tonight, so I asked Tingxin to bring me here." Qin Lianyi laughed dryly. She was embarrassed to tell her that she had ‘asked’ him by nibbling and kissing Bai Tingxin before he finally agreed after sharing one night of passion.Of course, Bai Tingxin made her make a pact before coming. She was not allowed to get too excited when she saw a male celebrity. She was not allowed to approach them for an autograph, and she was not allowed to ask them for a photo together.She reluctantly agreed, thinking it was good enough to see them.However, she did not expect to see her best friend here. What was more, she was with... Qin Lianyi sized up Gu Lichen.As a fan, she recognized Gu Lichen instantly!The crown prince of the entertainment industry! The man behind so many top celebrities! One could say that as long as the crown prince wanted to make someone famous, even a pig could be famous! "Yiran, what are you doing here? You and
