"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
He said imperiously, "Whether it's your words or your heart, I want you to love me! Even if your heart doesn't love me, sooner or later, you'll love me as much as you did before. Yiran, take my word for it!"His voice sounded so confident.All her blood seemed to be frozen! 'Is it possible? Can I still love him like before?'How could a broken relationship go back to the way it used to be?...As the night descended, Ye Wenming got in the car and somewhat tiredly rubbed his forehead. He had been talking to the lawyer about the custody case.The lawyer he hired was naturally an expert on such cases. Upon analyzing the case, he told him that he had at least an 80 percent chance of winning.Even though the child had lived with Zhuo Qianyun for years, Zhuo Qianyun's biggest disadvantage was her time in prison. Her record would give the judge a high chance of awarding him custody.He had no idea that the case would become a weapon in the custody battle. Ye Wenming's eyes could not h
The car came to one part of Huaihai Road, and the stalls were further ahead. Ye Wenming asked the driver to pull over, then he got out of the car alone.The driver said, "Mr. Ye, I can recommend you some stalls if you want to have late-night supper here.""No thanks." Ye Wenming refused lightly. Then, he went straight ahead to the bustling place.The food stalls looked crude to Ye Wenming. Usually, he would never come to a place like this.However, today... Finally, he caught sight of the thin figure.Even amid the crowd, he could spot her in one glance… She was still as thin as usual. Dressed in old-fashioned brown clothes and an apron, she looked quite different than when she was with him back then.Zhuo Qianyun was cooking with her head down. The heat from the wok surged toward her still somewhat beautiful face. Her movements were so skillful that her slender arms could even toss the food out of the wok with a flip.Ye Wenming suddenly recalled the time she said she was goi
"You've set up a stall to make money while I'm here to buy some food. Whether I can finish it is none of your concern," said Ye Wenming. Then, he walked over to one of the empty tables and sat down.He was so out of place in all his glamor.Zhuo Qianyun did not expect Ye Wenming to come here and order food! 'What does he want?'She cooked with her head down while her mind whirled with thoughts.Plate after plate, she served the food to the small square table in front of him, and before long, plates of food had already filled up the small square table.Zhuo Qianyun was glad her stall only had ten dishes in total. Otherwise, the small square table would not be able to accommodate all the food.Just as Zhuo Qianyun was serving the last dish, Ye Wenming suddenly said, "You're a much better cook than before."Zhuo Qianyun shivered a little. "People change."If she stayed the same, maybe she would not be able to raise Lil Yan at all! She no longer applied all sorts of skincare produc
