Hua Lifang's heart was filled with hatred, but she managed to squeeze out a smile. "Of... Of course, I know. By the way, Yiran is here too. I asked her to wait for me in the lounge. It's... not my turn yet, so I'll go find her first."With that, Hua Lifang made a gesture to head for the lounge."She's here too?" Gu Lichen was shocked and immediately followed Hua Lifang. "Let's go over together." He wanted to see Yiran. He missed her insanely whenever he did not see her.If he were not afraid that his intense pursuit would annoy or scare her, he would go and see her every day!He had not seen her in days, hoping she could sort out her feelings, and almost every day, he refrained himself from seeing her!Hua Lifang was delighted. Sure enough, everything was going according to her plan.Ling Yiran would be finished once everyone present was ushered to the door and she pushed the lounge door open while shouting in deliberate surprise!Just as they were about to reach the lounge door
'How did this happen? What the hell is Zhao Dazhu doing? I've drugged him. He’s supposed to be completely drugged by now! However, he can't even subdue a woman!'Ling Yiran was also stunned. She did not expect to see Gu Lichen when the door opened."What are you... doing here?" Ling Yiran asked in confusion.Gu Lichen came back to his senses and hurried over to Ling Yiran. "Are you okay? Did anything happen to you?""I'm fine, but..."Before Ling Yiran could finish, Gu Lichen saw some tears on the sleeve of her shirt. It was not obvious at first sight, but he could see it when he got closer. "What's this?""He grabbed me a few times when he came near," said Ling Yiran. However, she probably had to discard her shirt. The tears were in visible areas. She could not mend them even if she wanted to.Gu Lichen immediately turned pale and gently pulled Ling Yiran's sleeve up a little. He then saw the visible scratches on her arm.Those scratches hurt his eyes!He did not know how she
Gu Lichen was shocked. The door was not locked when he opened it."Let's head over to the police station first!" the policeman said."Sure," replied Ling Yiran."I'll go with you," said Gu Lichen as he took Ling Yiran's hand."No thanks. I'll go by myself," said Ling Yiran.However, instead of letting go, Gu Lichen insisted and said, "I'll go with you! I was the first witness after the door opened." His phoenix eyes looked straight at her as if he would dilly-dally with her like this if she refused.Ling Yiran had no choice but to nod and agree.Even if she refused, Gu Lichen did not need her permission to go to the police station. Besides, as he said, he was the first witness since he was the one who opened the door.Gu Lichen looked at the crowd outside the door and pulled Ling Yiran behind him. "Hide behind me and walk forward.""Huh?" Gu Lichen had already led Ling Yiran forward when she was still in a daze.Many crew members and shopping mall customers were around, but t
Hua Lifang was preoccupied when suddenly a voice came from the lounge. "Huh, what are these?" It was the voice of the cleaning lady in charge of cleaning the mall.Then, someone said, "What... What's with these photos? Wow, that's so gross!"'Photos?'Hua Lifang shuddered and suddenly remembered that she had tricked Zhao Dazhu into trading photos with her.It was just that she did not follow Zhao Dazhu into the lounge after giving him the drug. Instead, she calculated the time the drug would take effect on Zhao Dazhu while waiting outside.The original idea was that after Zhao Dazhu and Ling Yiran's scandal was discovered, she would take the photos away while others were not looking. However, she did not expect things to be the complete opposite of what she expected, so she totally forgot about taking the photos back.Hua Lifang rushed into the lounge, only to see several people looking at the photos in their hands.Suddenly, someone said, "Hey, this looks like Hua Lifang.""Wo
Ling Yiran wanted to say no, but looking at Gu Lichen's serious expression, she swallowed the refusal back in her mouth.The phone in her hand seemed to have gotten a little heavier.Gu Lichen said, "Come on. I'll send you home first. I'll look into what happened today! You won't be set up for nothing.""We've reported it to the police, and they'll look into it," said Ling Yiran."I won't be rest assured if only the police are looking into this," said Gu Lichen. If anyone tried to harm her, then he would take care of the snake in the grass. "I won't spare anyone who harms you!"Ling Yiran suddenly asked, "What if the person who wants to harm me is Hua Lifang? You won't spare her too?"Gu Lichen stiffened. This possibility was the last thing he wanted to think about. He could punish others severely and make them pay for it a thousand times over.However, after all... Lifang was the one he had longed for more than 20 years and the one who saved his life when he was a child!If he
When they got to the car, Gu Lichen put her on the passenger seat and strapped her in. He got back in the driver's seat and started the car.The car headed to Ling Yiran's rental house. On the way, Gu Lichen bought ointment to relieve the bruises."It'll be alright without the ointment. It's just a couple of scratches, and they’ll go away in a couple of days. It's no big deal," said Ling Yiran."Nothing about you is a small deal for me," he said. As if to prevent her from not applying the ointment, he pulled over at the roadside and took her scratched arm, wanting to apply ointment on the wounds."I... I'll do it myself!" She quickly took the ointment from his hand and opened the lid. She dipped some of the ointment on her fingers and smeared it on the bruises.The cooling ointment worked its way through the skin.There were only a few bruises, and Ling Yiran finished applying the ointment in a short time. As Ling Yiran closed the lid of the ointment, she heard Gu Lichen's voice.
Hua Lifang said what she had planned to say, turning herself into a victim.As long as she was a victim, Ling Yiran's incident was not her fault. Ling Yiran was just unfortunate."Is everything you're telling me now the truth?" asked Gu Lichen as he stared at the person in front of him.Hua Lifang immediately said, "Of course. Why would I lie to you, Lichen? You know what? The more I thought about it later, the more scared I became. If I had entered the lounge, and since I'm not as smart as Yiran, then I'd... have gotten myself into a scandal in Shen City and be laughed at by now!"She wanted to throw herself into his arms and seek comfort as she spoke.However, Gu Lichen pushed Hua Lifang out of his arms. "Lifang, I've told you that I only regard you as my childhood savior, so don't do anything inappropriate or say something inappropriate in case you mislead others."Hua Lifang's expression immediately changed at that, and she bit her lower lip hard."Also, I hope you're tellin
However, from another point of view, her best friend had just ended things with Yi Jinli and was suffering heartbreak. Would making Yiran the maid of honor make her sad? Would it make things even worse?"In three months?" Ling Yiran was stunned, not expecting her best friend to drop such a huge bomb."Yeah, Tingxin said he'll use three months to resolve the Bai family's internal conflict, and we'll get married after that," said Qin Lianyi.Although it seemed too fast to her at first, she was at ease once she had made up her mind to get married in three months. She even began to look forward to the moment when she would become Bai Tingxin's wife!"If so, congratulations!" Ling Yiran said with a smile and sincerely gave her best wishes to her best friend. "Of course, I'll be the maid of honor for your wedding! I'll be upset if you didn’t ask me to be your maid of honor!""It doesn't matter if you feel reluctant..."The next moment, Ling Yiran reached out her arms and embraced Qin L
