With those dark phoenix eyes of his staring at the moving car, Gu Lichen's handsome face was full of anxiety and gloom. 'Is Jinli trying to show that he can take anyone he wants?'Ling Yiran, who was stuffed into the back seat, pulled herself up and asked, "Yi Jinli, what do you want?""What do I want?" The man sitting next to her sneered, and he looked at her with those stunning eyes of his. The way he looked at her was like fire and ice. It gave her a sense of extreme danger.Ling Yiran trembled slightly. The next moment, Yi Jinli suddenly leaned over with his arms pressed on both sides of her body, almost imprisoning her in his arms.A barrier slowly rose between the back seat and the front seat at the same time, effectively separating the space in the car.The backseat, which was larger than a normal car’s, suddenly became a single space.A flicker of panic flashed across Ling Yiran's eyes.Yi Jinli's face approached hers. "Is Gu Lichen that great? Is he that great that you
Ling Yiran did not know how long it took, but when the kiss finally ended, she gasped like a fish on a chopping block.Her long hair was a tad unruly, and her cheeks were blushing. Her serene almond-shaped eyes were glaring at him. Finally, her eyes were no longer as calm as usual. It was as if he finally existed in her eyes again.Even though there was anger in her eyes, he was still fascinated.He raised his hand and gently stroked her hair. Then, his lips came closer to her ear as he said in a hoarse voice, "Forget about falling for Gu Lichen..."'Yes, I won't allow her to fall for Gu Lichen. She can only fall for me!'A chill ran down her spine. "It's my business who I fall for—"However, before she could finish, his lips were on hers again, swallowing all her voice......There was a bit of a commotion at the charity gala too. After all, there had been a lot more commotion earlier.When Qin Lianyi found out that Yi Jinli cleared the area and had a conflict with Gu Lichen,
Hua Lifang tried to look more concerned. "Lichen, you should go to the hospital and examine your hand. Does it hurt a lot? I'm worried about your hand.""Have you ever worried about Yiran?" Gu Lichen asked suddenly."Huh?" Hua Lifang was stunned and momentarily confused."Did you know that Yiran once suffered a much worse injury to her hand? Did you ever worry about her hands? You keep saying you two are on good terms. Did you visit her when she was in prison?" asked Gu Lichen as he stared at the woman in front of him.When he was looking up Ling Yiran's prison records, he found that during Yiran's imprisonment, only her friend, Qin Lianyi, visited her frequently. Yiran's grandmother could not come to Shen City due to poor health. However, she had called her several times.Other than that, no one cared about Yiran when she was in prison.When Gu Lichen thought about Ling Yiran's estrangement from her family and friends, he felt a heartbreak he could not even explain.Hua Lifang
"Lichen, since Yiran was taken away by Yi Jinli, there's no need to worry. They were a couple, after all. Even if they’ve broken up, they look..."Hua Lifang stopped when she realized that Gu Lichen was not even listening to her! It was as if she was invisible to him and all he could think about was Ling Yiran!Hua Lifang clenched her teeth. 'What's so good about Ling Yiran?'Why is everyone fighting for Ling Yiran?'I won't let Ling Yiran take away my happiness!'...When Ling Yiran got down from the car, she found the place to be unfamiliar.A bamboo forest surrounded the large oriental-style house, and the house looked as if it had been there for years.The bamboo forest seemed ancient, making people feel as if they were lost in time."Yi Jinli, why did you bring me here?" Ling Yiran suddenly felt panic."Why? To lock you up, of course," he said, pulling her away as he walked into the house.There was something antique about the house's design. Even though some of the pla
She trembled. 'Is he... really going to keep me here until… I fall in love with him again?'"Have you gone mad? You’re simply unlawfully detaining me!" exclaimed Ling Yiran as if it was the only way to ease the fear in her heart."Have I gone mad?" he muttered. His cold kiss ran down her earlobes, lingering on her cheeks and between her eyebrows. “Perhaps I have."He had probably gone mad when he fell for her and let her control his joy and sorrows."You made me realize that jealousy can be so intense that I would want to destroy the world..." he muttered.His soft voice created an ambiguous atmosphere in the dim room.Ling Yiran could not push Yi Jinli away. His kisses kept falling on her face, and his fingers were trying to rip the gown off her body."No!" she cried out."I don't like you wearing clothes given by other men," he said coldly. Especially when the gown she was wearing was intended for the one Gu Lichen... ‘missed the most’.Gu Lichen did not even know that Yiran
Qin Lianyi and Bai Tingxin came to Yi Residence, but they did not see Yi Jinli at all!According to the Yi family's butler, Yi Jinli never brought Ling Yiran back.Of course, when Qin Lianyi asked to enter Yi Residence, the Yi family's butler rejected her! Therefore, Qin Lianyi could only glare at the entrance of Yi Residence while stomping her feet.Bai Tingxin looked at his anxious girlfriend and realized Ling Yiran's importance in Qin Lianyi's heart."If I was taken away, would you be this anxious to find me too?" asked Bai Tingxin.Qin Lianyi was stunned, then she did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Why are you asking such a question at such a time? You're not jealous of Yiran, are you?""So what if I'm jealous?" asked Bai Tingxin as he stared at the person in front of him.Qin Lianyi blinked and thought for a while. Suddenly, she stood on her tiptoes and grabbed Bai Tingxin's collar with her two hands. She pulled him down and kissed him on his thin lips. "Alright, be a g
He had left the door unlocked, but... she knew that when he said he would keep her here, then there was no way she could get out of the house even if she did manage to step out the door.Just then, the door was pushed open. Yi Jinli walked in with a pile of clothes in his hands."You're up?" he asked, looking at Ling Yiran who was sitting on the bed. She was wrapped in the sheets.She bit her lip and glared at him in silence.He shrugged it off and walked up to her, saying, "Here's your change of clothes. Let me help you put them on to see if they fit."She quickly rejected him. "No! I can put them on myself!" "Alright. You can put them on yourself." He did not insist and laid the clothes by her side.She looked at him. 'He's still here. How am I supposed to dress myself?'He seemed to see her hesitation. "Didn't you change your clothes in front of me when we lived together?""You used to be my boyfriend and my lover, but not anymore," she said.His expression changed slight
"I told you. I have no—""You have no feelings for me?" he interrupted her, "Who do you have feelings for now?"She was stunned. Danger seemed to flicker in his eyes as he looked at her."I have no feelings for anyone, including Gu Lichen!" she said. She did not want to involve Gu Lichen in this. Yi Jinli broke Gu Lichen's wrist because of her, and she wondered how he was doing."Why let him hug you if you have no feelings for him? When did he and you get along so well?" he asked darkly.She suddenly felt nervous. If her answer annoyed him, then maybe…Ling Yiran said truthfully, "I… only think of Gu Lichen as a childhood friend. I… feel guilty when I see him.""Guilty?" Yi Jinli raised his eyebrows."He has been looking for me for years, but I never told him I’m the one he’s looking for." Instead, she let Gu Lichen identify the wrong person and make the mistake again and again. "Besides, he probably hugged me because of the feelings he had as a child."She was wearing a purpl
