'She's scared. Did I scare her?'He wanted to frighten her to teach her a lesson and show her his kindness. He just wanted her to know what would happen to her if he was indeed disrespecting her.However, when he saw her in this state, he felt a terrible heaving in his chest. It was as if he was punishing himself!He raised his hand and gently wiped the tears from her face. "Alright, I won't force you. Not now, not ever."She looked at him blankly as though she could not believe that he would say such a thing.She did not expect herself to cry so much so suddenly. She had told herself that even if she was ‘raped’, she did not have to take it to heart. She would just think of it as sleep paralysis!However... When she was stuck in a situation she could not resist, her time in prison recurred to her. It was the same back then. It was as if no matter how much she struggled, the pain inflicted upon her would not lessen.It was as if she was not a human in their eyes but a tool to be
Mr. Gu looked at his son's right hand that was still wrapped in gauze as he spoke.What a joke to get his wrist broken for a woman!"So what if I broke my wrist? As long as she can be found!" asked Gu Lichen."You..." Mr. Gu felt a surge of anger.Madam Gu immediately went up to comfort her husband and said to her son, "Don't make your father mad. Yi Jinli clearly treats that woman differently. Why would you meddle in this?"Although the Yi family had a huge influence in Shen City, the Gu family was not too bad either. Madam Gu was not afraid to go against the Yi family. In her opinion, it was only a woman and she was not the little girl with whom her son had been obsessed since childhood. There were many people who could take over her place.There was never a shortage of beautiful women in the entertainment industry!'My son can have any woman he wants. Why would he want a woman Yi Jinli won't let go?'However, what Gu Lichen said next stunned Madam Gu."Mom, I have to meddl
She thought of getting out of here by pretending to love him.However... How long could she ‘pretend’? Unless she could keep this up forever, it would end up badly when Yi Jinli found out she lied to him.More importantly, she did not want to use her feelings to deceive his feelings!The mansion was large. The buildings and pavilions inside were just like those seen in rich and powerful families' residences in movies and dramas. There were many lotus-related items there.For example, lotus porcelains. The pillars and beams also had carvings of lotus flowers. Some antique furniture also had lotus carvings, not to mention the lotus pond in the yard.The lotus flowers here were still in full bloom even though it was already past their season, which was really strange.The owner of the mansion probably liked lotus flowers very much.'Or maybe... It was the woman imprisoned here back then who was fond of lotus flowers?' Ling Yiran thought to herself.She was quite fond of lotus flow
"Indeed, they can't take you away even if they found this place," he said as he pulled his phone out and handed it to her.It was not her phone but his!Fortunately, she had a good memory. She remembered both Lianyi and Sis Zhuo's phone numbers.Therefore, Ling Yiran called Qin Lianyi first.When Qin Lianyi answered her phone, she was so shaken that she almost dropped her phone when she heard Ling Yiran's voice. "Yiran, where... Where are you? Do you know how worried I was when Yi Jinli took you? Did Yi Jinli hurt you? How dare that son of a b*tch take you?! This is kidnapping. Kidnapping!"Ling Yiran immediately felt awkward. The phone call was on speakerphone. In other words, Yi Jinli heard everything her best friend said.Yi Jinli glanced at the phone with a half-smile. Ling Yiran was afraid that her best friend would say something that might annoy Yi Jinli, so she immediately said, "I'm… I'm fine, Lianyi. I just called to tell you not to worry about me. As for Sis Zhuo, I’m s
Yi Jinli reached out and picked up the ancient sword.Ling Yiran was immediately taken aback. The sword… was giving her a sense of danger."Remember when I told you that someone from the Yi family used to keep a woman here? That woman fell in love with him, but she still killed that man with this sword,” Yi Jinli said lightly as if it was just a story.'However... This actually happened!' Ling Yiran was shocked. What he was saying now was a plot twist from what he said last time. She thought the woman left with the man from the Yi family after falling in love with him.It never occurred to her that the woman... would use this sword to kill the man she fell in love with!'Why? Shame? Remorse? Regret?'Because she fell in love with another man when she had someone else she loved deeply?'Was that why she made this choice?'Are the mottled marks on the sword... blood? Is the blood from back then still on the sword?'"Is it called… Splashes of Blood because blood is spattered on
She only felt her heart constantly contracting. His certainty made her panic.He would wager on the rest of his life, but what would she wager on?...Zhuo Qianyun was having a phone call with Qin Lianyi and learned that Yi Jinli had taken Ling Yiran. No one knew where she had been taken to, and they did not know when she would come back.However, according to Qin Lianyi, if Yiran was able to make a call, it meant that at least Yiran was not in serious trouble for now.Qin Lianyi said, "That's all we can do for now. I'll try to find out where Yi Jinli has taken Yiran. Also, Sis Zhuo, don't worry about your lawsuit. I'll ask Tingxin to find another lawyer for you if Yiran still hasn't shown up after a week.""Thank you so much," Zhuo Qianyun said gratefully."It's nothing as long as you and Lil Yan are okay!" said Qin Lianyi.When Zhuo Qianyun went to the kindergarten to pick up her son in the afternoon, she was still worried about Ling Yiran. She did not know whether it was a g
"I'm here to see Lil Yan. After all, he's my son, isn't he?" Ye Wenming said lightly.She immediately had mixed feelings. He said it so naturally. It was just like when he said he would abort the child if she was pregnant!However, she did not want her son to see their disputes."Lil Yan, let's go," said Zhuo Qianyun. She had to take her son back to her mother because she needed to set up her stall later.The little one said, "Daddy said he'll send us home today."Zhuo Qianyun subconsciously wanted to refuse, but what Ye Wenming said next seemed to stop everything she wanted to say."Do you want Daddy to send you home, Lil Yan?""Yes," Lil Yan answered with his childish voice, sounding innocent and joyful.Zhuo Qianyun looked at the happy expression on her son's face, gritted her teeth, and said nothing.Many parents who came to pick up their children at the kindergarten’s gates were looking their way. Ye Wenming's glamor and Zhuo Qianyun's abjection formed a sharp contrast.
"Yeah. Didn't I tell you last time that he really is your daddy?" said Zhuo Qianyun. She never intended to hide the truth from her son for the rest of her life.However, she had planned to wait until the boy turned 18 to tell him, and now it was far ahead of schedule."Why is Daddy only coming back from heaven now?" asked the little one as he turned and looked at Ye Wenming.Ye Wenming almost choked and rolled his eyes at Zhuo Qianyun.Zhuo Qianyun was a little embarrassed. 'Why did I tell my son that his daddy was in heaven?'"I didn't know you existed, but now that I know, I'll always be with you, Lil Yan," said Ye Wenming.Strange to say, he had always been indifferent, but he was unconsciously gentle to his only flesh and blood. He felt sorry, especially when he saw the hearing aid his son wore.Even though his son was born disabled, he would not let Lil Yan be inferior to anyone. He wanted his son to be above others and make sure they dared not discriminate against him!Th
